It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh

4
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.600
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with

5
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:23.039
Tredy Trenholm, and today we are very happy and excited

6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:28.800
to present our special guest inside the Treehouse today, actor, comedian,

7
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:37.159
host and friend of the Treehouse, mister tone Bell. He's back.

8
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.159
I love that you're busy, but it does make scheduling

9
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.320
our visits a little more difficult than it used to be.

10
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.960
You just dropping by my office at the radio station.

11
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.679
Now we've got to get our schedules aligned. We got

12
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.319
to make sure everything's synced up. So I am very

13
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.920
very happy that you are busy, because if you're busy,

14
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.519
that means you're making a living, living the dream.

15
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.480
Yeah. Man, it's always nice to have something to do.

16
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:13.680
You know.

17
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.359
It's like if there are times when you don't want

18
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:17.719
to be busy, but I don't want to be in

19
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.439
lack of work, So that's like that balancing act you

20
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.319
gotta do. I mean, I'd love to have like at

21
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.519
least four or five days to just recoup from just

22
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.519
I was just doing south By. So I would love

23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.879
to have a couple of days and then, but you can't.

24
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.760
You got to take it strike while the iron's hot.

25
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.159
Yeah, I can imagine that in the acting field, in

26
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.079
the realm of it that you do it, there is

27
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.719
no rest for the wicked. I mean, I would imagine,

28
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.359
and I know you're doing this, which is I'd rather

29
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.519
just go until I can't go anymore, as opposed to

30
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.480
running the risk of saying, you know, I'm a little tired,

31
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.799
I'm going to pass on this project.

32
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.760
I'm gonna take a break.

33
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.760
Yeah, you're not Matthew McConaughey.

34
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:06.599
By any means.

35
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.039
And because I don't know how many people realize that,

36
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.319
Like matth I was reading something about that a handful

37
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:17.560
of months ago where McConaughey, another fellow you know Texas actor, Yeah, uh,

38
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.199
took took a break in the middle of him at

39
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:28.520
the peak of his rom com craze because he wanted

40
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.560
to rebrand. He was tired of doing that stuff. And

41
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.759
it was like close to two years I think, he said,

42
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:40.360
without booking anything and him passing on all these big projects. Thankfully,

43
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.599
he had banked up the least enough money where he

44
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.560
could survive it. But I remember in an interview he

45
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:48.719
said it got close to where he was starting to

46
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.240
look into all right, maybe I'll go teach at ut

47
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:51.919
or something.

48
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.159
Yeah, I mean it is. It is one of those. Uh.

49
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.560
I was just up for a job. Maybe two weeks ago.

50
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.199
I just filming the job that I've been doing the

51
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.159
last few years on Netflix and got offered to come

52
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.080
in for not the offer of the role, but like

53
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:11.759
producer session straight out, and I would have had to

54
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.400
leave like a week after they you know, I read

55
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.719
for it, and I was like, I would love to

56
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.439
do this job. But if I get it, great, If

57
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.960
I don't, great, at least at least I'm still being

58
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.840
talked about, like nobody's forgotten about me yet.

59
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.960
But but part of it was like, thank goodness I

60
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.159
didn't get this job. It had been great. Yeah, but

61
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.560
I mean I could use a little bit of time off.

62
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.560
So is that you just.

63
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.520
You just got done filming the season three of Survival

64
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.639
of the Thickest correct. Yeah, by the way, you're fantastic

65
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:44.879
in that.

66
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:46.599
Oh thank you. Yeah.

67
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.479
I find out that Trey is not just saying that

68
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.120
because you're here. Trey has told me that weeks ago

69
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.319
and it wasn't even during the show, so I know

70
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:57.199
he really meant it.

71
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.639
Oh, Man, appreciate that. I was.

72
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.479
I was blown away, like that's it's a great show. Yeah, yeah,

73
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.000
great writing. But yeah, you're fantastic on it.

74
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:08.759
Man.

75
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.120
I do think this is probably gonna be I mean,

76
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.080
this is our last season, like said and done after

77
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:19.480
this season. But this feels like when I think when

78
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.199
I got a couple of projects coming out after around

79
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.240
the same time as this is coming out, and and

80
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.680
I think I'm hitting a different speed right now, which

81
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.720
is which is nice, so a little more mature I

82
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.120
think performance wise, I kind of just stopped taking notes

83
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.639
on some stuff and go, this is how I'm gonna

84
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:39.399
portray this character now.

85
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.959
So either either you like.

86
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.560
This or you don't, but this is what I'm doing,

87
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.959
and I think it worked out real well.

88
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:48.199
That's awesome.

89
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.199
It's got to be a great feeling too, creatively.

90
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:51.360
Yep.

91
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.120
Are you at the point yet in your career and

92
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.240
now you know a third season of Survival of the

93
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.720
Thickest is obviously got to be a great feeling one

94
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.079
just to be working as an actor, but too to

95
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.000
be able to get and know that you're going to

96
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.560
go into the final season of something and be able

97
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.160
to hopefully, you know, tie a bow on it and

98
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:16.480
you know, complete the whole thing. How satisfying is that

99
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.800
to be able to do, especially in the landscape of

100
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.120
today's entertainment where you may not you may not get

101
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.120
a season two at all.

102
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.319
Yeah, I mean it's it's different.

103
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.439
I mean it's I can't Yeah, I mean it's it's

104
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.279
bittersweet in that it was nice going going back to

105
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.600
something every year, right, and going like, Okay, I've got

106
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.040
I got eight months and now I got to go

107
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.879
do this four months there. And I think it would

108
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.399
have been easier had I still been living in an

109
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:41.639
apartment and being single.

110
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:42.279
Mm.

111
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.560
Being a homeowner with a wife is a little more

112
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.160
like I got to leave this whole thing that, you know,

113
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.079
it'd been nice if something goes wrong and somebody's gonna

114
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.000
fix it while I'm going who also has keys?

115
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:53.759
Right?

116
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.199
But now this is different? But yeah, I mean it's

117
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.319
it's yeah, getting a chance of like kind of the

118
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.879
arcs of the kres in this world that we put together.

119
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.399
Yeah, it's nice to put a bowl on that.

120
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.000
What's bittersweet is like, man, had this been you know,

121
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.399
fifteen years ago, this would have been three or four

122
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.000
seasons on twenty two episodes a season, and I'd have

123
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.680
been like, oh man, I can take off two years

124
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.160
and start a family.

125
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.920
Just and not work to go. Money's fine.

126
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:26.040
I'm looking for a job right now, right, I don't

127
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.759
want to start it yet, but I'm looking.

128
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.920
I am looking, so it is.

129
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.199
It is a fascinating landscape. And that's and that's one

130
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.879
of the most formal questions I wanted to ask you today.

131
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.360
Because we're friends, we don't do standard interview type stuff,

132
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.120
but I'm genuinely curious as a friend and as a

133
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.759
show host, here, what is it like these days with

134
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.240
all these platforms You have shows coming out the ass

135
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:58.120
So on one hand, it's lots of opportunities for actors,

136
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.759
But on the other hand, that's a lot of money

137
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.279
being spent on these shows. And I'm sure that the

138
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.879
money's tighter than it used to be, because, like you said,

139
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.040
if this is fifteen years ago, Survival of the Thickest

140
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.399
is going to probably get five six seasons on network

141
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:12.160
TV and.

142
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.240
You're going to be a millionaire.

143
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.079
Yeah yeah.

144
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.319
Whereas now, because everything's so thinned out, it almost seems

145
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.720
like lots of opportunities, but still lots of struggle.

146
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:23.000
There used to be.

147
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:24.560
I mean even when I started, there was still that

148
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.720
time of you know, there weren't as many so if

149
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.240
there weren't as you know, Netflix is starting to do

150
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.600
its thing, NBC and the big networks still matter. Cables still,

151
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.439
you know, FX and AMC are still creating hits, not

152
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.639
that they don't, but it's your hit is very different

153
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:46.439
package now and then Yeah, I mean the way I

154
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.319
think my lawyer used to negotiate, being like, you know what,

155
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.959
if you don't give him this quote, then he's walking away.

156
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.120
And now I got to go just hold on now,

157
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.439
I think I'm comfortable with that. Just stop negotiating, don't

158
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.879
put it because there's something there's somebody else that is

159
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:04.800
also good for.

160
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:05.680
This part, you know what I mean.

161
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.959
It's it's not that I don't think I'm perfect for it.

162
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.360
There is someone else who can also pull this off, right.

163
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.639
So, and and they might still be living in that

164
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.160
one bedroom apartment single Yeah.

165
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.040
Who like I mean he can, I mean I think

166
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:20.920
that's I mean the job I just mentioned that. I'm

167
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.360
glad I didn't go, but I would have done it

168
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.199
is uh it would have been a local higher for

169
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.240
la so I would have to fly myself out put

170
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:31.160
myself up, which is fine because I can, but but

171
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:32.919
also if they call go, you know what, we got

172
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.159
to do a pickup scene on a Wednesday, but I

173
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.279
flew back home. Now it screws their schedule up. Yeah,

174
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.120
so I mean it makes sense to me and me.

175
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.559
I do think they I do think they wanted me,

176
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.080
though I do think it was mine if I if

177
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.440
I were boots on the ground in la U.

178
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.759
Yeah, the old, the old proximity thing might have may

179
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.240
have caught up with you.

180
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:55.399
A little bit.

181
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.759
For the stuff you see that you auditioned for every

182
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.960
there that you get scripts for. I feel like the

183
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.120
writing is the one thing, Like there's a finite amount

184
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.279
of good writers, and now that it's getting watered down

185
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.960
amongst all the platforms, Like do you see more crap?

186
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:14.559
I don't know.

187
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:16.840
I guess I only really watch what's kind of trendy.

188
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.000
So if I don't hear about it, I'm really not watching,

189
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.120
I guess. But also, like you said, I mean, I'll

190
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.919
wait till you know it's eight episodes, I'll wait eight

191
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.039
weeks and then when I have it, when I have

192
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.440
a lull on like a Tuesday or Wednesday, me and

193
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.519
a wife are knocking.

194
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.519
Out all all eight So.

195
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:35.879
That's just kind of how we get it done. And

196
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.919
then after other than that, it's like, you know, cause

197
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.720
I don't have weekend nights like that, so my weekend

198
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.039
is Monday through Wednesday, so I don't I don't if

199
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:47.360
I don't hear about it, I kind of don't know.

200
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.320
And we rarely just kind of stumble into a show.

201
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.240
But you you pass, you know, you can you know,

202
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.759
any platform and start pass them and then go I

203
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:55.720
didn't even know that I know her and that's the

204
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:57.600
lead of the show, but I haven't heard about it

205
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.519
or I know him. They're very talented, but I've heard

206
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.799
nothing about it, which I mean, I make the joke

207
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.200
on stage all the time. It's like, but I do

208
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.919
make sure I press play just so the numbers are

209
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.679
there for the actor that I know, And even if

210
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.279
I'm not sitting right in front of the TV, I'm like,

211
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.879
I want them to get there right. But you still

212
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.240
have that battle of at least to me, I still

213
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:17.679
have that battle of you know, not growing up with

214
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:22.120
much so I don't have all the platforms yeah, I

215
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.799
want to, but I can't justify going. Man, my electric

216
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.960
bills four hundred bucks a month. I can't have ten apps.

217
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:36.000
I go, sweet are. I don't care what your mother says,

218
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.360
We're not. She has to get her own.

219
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.840
You're not letting the mother in law piggyback off your peak.

220
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:44.600
You don't have to pick.

221
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.559
We're gonna have this one for six months and then

222
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.159
we'll go back and switch up to this one for

223
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.279
six month. Go, but we're not doing them all because

224
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.399
we're not watching them all.

225
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.120
Well, the good news is, I think you may not

226
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.720
have to worry about that much longer because we've had

227
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.600
this huge era of platform expansion wherever channel on cable

228
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.679
eventually had an app to go watch more stuff, and

229
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.080
then you had like three hundred channels on cable. Then

230
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.759
you've got like one hundred possible you know, channel apps.

231
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.639
Then those all started consolidating, and now they've started consolidating

232
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.960
more because you start bundling all these apps, like you

233
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.440
got Disney and the Hulu and the ESPN and then

234
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:25.559
the Peacock and then they're all slowly eight three three

235
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.120
COOKDFW is the phone number you will need to schedule

236
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:32.799
your free roof Inspection and Property Review courtesy of Daniel

237
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.080
Cook and COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration eight three three COOKDFW.

238
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.360
To get that scheduled, we just had the State of

239
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.039
a Union, the State of the Union address from the President.

240
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.080
That happens every single year, at least it's supposed to.

241
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:49.440
And that's sort of what you offer with the free

242
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.080
property review with homeowners. It's sort of a state of

243
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.840
your home address where you take a look at it

244
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:01.279
ideally annually and you Daniel the one that that information

245
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.840
to the homeowner and says, here's where we are, and

246
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.720
then here's where we would like to be.

247
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.799
Right, Yeah, I mean in a way, yes, we're not

248
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.399
actually taunting about everything that we've done over the year,

249
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.200
and we're not.

250
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:13.480
You know, bragging about everything.

251
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.159
But what we do is, when you're not dunked on

252
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.279
as a home right, we kind of just want to

253
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.480
give you the education of this is how your home

254
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.279
is currently.

255
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.279
These are some of the things that you need to

256
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:27.480
be aware of. It's more preparation than bragging. This is hey,

257
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.799
you know, start looking at these things. These could be

258
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.039
a problem in the future if you don't start looking

259
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.480
at them really quickly. Or we say, hey, this is

260
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.879
something that we started noticing, let's look at it next year.

261
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.000
Because when they call us out annually, we can, you know,

262
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.000
continue to watch that home as it ages and as

263
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.279
as as it changes, and they all do. I don't

264
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.879
care what kind of home you have. They all age differently,

265
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.000
and some things change out faster than others and different

266
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.759
things like that. It's it's so different. You can't just

267
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.559
say I have a home in Dallas. You can't say

268
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:57.879
I just have a home in McKinney. You can't say

269
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.440
I have a home in Mesquite or Flower Mount. Every

270
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.399
one of them is different. And that's why you need

271
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.799
us out there annually to come check them out, and

272
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.320
we'll give you, you know, the notes and you can

273
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.240
then brag to your neighbors about how your state of

274
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:09.720
the home is.

275
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:10.440
There.

276
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.080
You go eight three three cook DFW to get that

277
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.759
scheduled today, eight three three cook DFW. We can do

278
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:21.960
it online as well, cookdfw dot com. Bringing it all

279
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.480
back in together. And then like you've got this, Netflix

280
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.480
and Warner Brothers deal in buying everything where eventually they're

281
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.639
just gonna buy everything back into cable again.

282
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:34.120
Yeah, I mean that's which is it's like you kind

283
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.600
of you think that you I remember buying a like

284
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.480
a figure what kind of toggle it was? But it

285
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.240
put everything from all the apps in one place, so

286
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:44.399
you can so you don't have to jump.

287
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.559
Apps, right, but you still had to have all the apps,

288
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.639
but it puts them all in one thing.

289
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.320
And I thought it was gonna be better because I'm like, oh,

290
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.080
I only have to open this one. Then I go

291
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:58.000
is too much? It is too much. I don't know,

292
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.080
I can't. I can't hand. It's like, uh, It's like,

293
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.679
I mean, yeah, it's cable, but now I have to choose.

294
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:10.120
I'm I'm miss just flipping channels just to be like,

295
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.720
you know what this is on already? I gotta do nothing.

296
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:14.919
I mean, I'm back, I'm back.

297
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:15.519
To ads bro.

298
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.240
I listen Dan.

299
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.480
I've told Dan this and it didn't last to because

300
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.039
I still I have the direct TV app just because

301
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.759
I enjoy scrolling through the guide and just oh, even

302
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.399
though a lot of times I know it's a movie,

303
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.080
I can go watch commercial free, but I'll sit there

304
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.679
and watch it on TV just it's there's something comforting

305
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:34.240
about it and I can't explain.

306
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.240
It, dude.

307
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.799
Soon it's gonna be if there's this no doubt that

308
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:42.159
in five to ten years, televisions are gonna go. If

309
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.559
if if the TVs don't see us sitting there, it's

310
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.799
gonna pause it. Yeah, and you're gonna have to sit

311
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.639
through the ad and watch the ad and then because

312
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.559
I mean, I mean, I love a good ad. Now,

313
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.120
I know I have ninety segons, the little thing going around,

314
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.159
the little cock. I go, I got two minutes and

315
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:01.559
forty seconds. I can make a sandwich.

316
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:04.879
Like your kitchen.

317
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:08.120
I could go, I need a refill on chips, I

318
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.840
need to grab another beer. I can go check the mail,

319
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.600
I can take a quick phone call. I mean, ads

320
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.399
are my friend these day. I mean, I love a

321
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:16.559
good ad. Now it's such when I'm a person that

322
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.080
goes to bed with TV on for you know, sleep timer.

323
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.039
So if I'm watching something and.

324
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.320
I do have the ad package, that ad is like

325
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.960
that volume is crazy. So now I can't I can't

326
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:30.200
sleep during it. But yeah, man, it's I'm sorry, I'm

327
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:36.120
already frustrated. I'm good, I'm getting antsy. You know what

328
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.200
got me answered this morning is like I was, I was,

329
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.360
I'm packing still, so like I do have to get

330
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.279
out of here, to get get to Dallas. But there's

331
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:47.519
a I'm packing and then i'm I'm I'm.

332
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:48.960
Looking at Actually I was looking for the link to

333
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:49.799
like talk to you all to that.

334
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:51.120
I was looking for the link and then I get

335
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.559
my email and then I get it from uber one.

336
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.519
It's like, hey, your confirmation of Uber one membership. I go,

337
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:02.000
I didn't ask for that ship, and you know, they

338
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.399
make it so hard to cancel that. I've never got

339
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:09.200
to get on YouTube watch an ad to then get

340
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.559
the instructions on how to cancel it. So, I mean,

341
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:14.600
I spent money that I wasn't trying to spend, but

342
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:16.399
the dude's video I had to watch to learn how

343
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.399
to cancel my thing made money on me watching his

344
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.039
having to cancel the one that I was spending money

345
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:21.159
on that I didn't want to spend money on.

346
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.960
Yeah, And it's got to be an odd feeling also, because,

347
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:28.279
on one hand, growing up with not much, you're going

348
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.759
to be very careful about what you spend your money

349
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.679
on and what you spend your time doing. The flip

350
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.600
side of that is you're also in the industry and

351
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.320
you know that what money you make is dependent on ads,

352
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.600
So it feels kind of hypocritical.

353
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:45.720
To get it so critical.

354
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:50.399
So hypocritical, Yeah, it's it's I mean, if you know,

355
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.720
but then you know all the deals of like O,

356
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.759
if you use your MX for this, you can get

357
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:56.720
ten percent off that. And also if you put your

358
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.919
bank account instead of your credit card into this, So

359
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.080
I give you fifteen percent off here with ten percent there.

360
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.879
But then if this you get this app for free.

361
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:05.240
But now I got to sign out of this app.

362
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:09.440
I gotta sign in through Verizon. I go, yo, I

363
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.400
want to save this ten percent, but I'm not doing

364
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.319
all that. Yeah, matter of fact, take my phone, just

365
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:17.920
take it.

366
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.640
I'm just glad to like you. Like you were telling

367
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.200
us right before we started the show that you just

368
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.599
got a new laptop, which is apparently huge news in

369
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:27.119
your house.

370
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:28.039
Oh my god.

371
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.319
I mean when I say, I mean it was creating

372
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.759
some some uh it was it was put my old

373
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.680
laptop was pushing a wedge in our love. It was

374
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.640
we would have we would have both have a two

375
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.519
o'clock and I go, I need you to put yours

376
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.160
at three because my call is if it goes through,

377
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.799
it's going to mean more money. I mean, we were

378
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.200
having to have conversations like that where I go. I

379
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.799
know yours is important, but yours isn't keep the house?

380
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.759
Might the house?

381
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:02.160
How's that go over?

382
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.359
Though? I just had I just had to.

383
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.079
I just had to leave the house like a like

384
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.079
a beaten dog and just go buy a laptop.

385
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:11.359
I didn't even tell her. I just came home. When

386
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.279
she's like, oh, look at that, I go, yeah, I'm

387
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:14.079
trying to stay married.

388
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.920
Uh huh, yeah, that's exactly That's how it went. Tray,

389
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.000
He realized that he needed to go get a new laptop,

390
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:24.000
and then she didn't let it go without saying anything.

391
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.240
When he walked home with it, she's like, oh, look

392
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:27.119
what you figured out?

393
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.559
Oh, I mean it's.

394
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.480
I can't imagine having to tell you my stuff is

395
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.440
more important than yours.

396
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.240
And I didn't want to have to say it that way.

397
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.680
But but.

398
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:43.880
That wasn't my plan.

399
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.480
I thought maybe she would deduce that, you know what,

400
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.319
I should probably shift mine because this could mean bigger things.

401
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:55.559
But you know, they don't see it like that. No,

402
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.359
it's crazy. I don't see it like that.

403
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.559
Is she is she near you? Did she just hear

404
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:06.480
you say crazy?

405
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.319
No, she's I'm allowed to say everything in his house,

406
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:13.480
but I also take the consequence for whatever I say.

407
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.160
But no, she's way on the other side of.

408
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.000
The house, smart man's way.

409
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.440
She's working out right now.

410
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.920
So okay, how is your neighbor, Jerry Man?

411
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:23.559
He's good, man, Jerry's good.

412
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:27.440
I mean not agenarian Jerry oh Man.

413
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.599
Yeah, he's eighty eight now, turned eighty eight about two

414
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:31.079
weeks ago.

415
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.200
He just had a health thing. So we've been going over.

416
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.640
He's been staying with his oldest daughter, and so we've

417
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:37.920
been like taking care of the house for him, checking

418
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.359
the mail, taking the trash out, feeding his longhorns and stuff.

419
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.160
So being a neighbor the neighbor he is does, we're

420
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:44.759
being at him, but you know, we're just worried about him.

421
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:44.920
Man.

422
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.440
You know, he's such a great dude that you know,

423
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.920
father time comes from everybody. So that's a it's a

424
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.319
it's a hard one. But he just had a pace

425
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.720
maker put in, so hopefully, you know, we get some

426
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.960
more love out of him for for a number of years.

427
00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:59.960
But but yeah, I mean, if they're willing to do

428
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.640
surgery on an eighty eight year old, that means he's

429
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:02.599
got to be doing pretty well.

430
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:02.920
Yeah.

431
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.559
Yeah, time.

432
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.160
We took him out for his birthday, and I mean

433
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.000
we picked him up and uh we went to the

434
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.200
little bar and like the little small town and bass Drop.

435
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.200
We went to the to the bar, and I mean

436
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.359
we had to have three Gen and Tonics for his

437
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:23.359
birth I mean it's one thirty double Gin and Tonics,

438
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:28.279
and I go, I have to drive, I have to

439
00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:30.279
drive us back. You can have that, Jerry, but I

440
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:32.599
got it, and then you can't go nowhere tonight. So

441
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.200
but yeah, I mean, dude, he was yelling at that,

442
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.839
not yelling for real, but just the owner came over

443
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.720
and told him it's his birthday. And then he goes, Uh,

444
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.640
I want the bread pudding for my birthday and I'm

445
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.559
not paying for it.

446
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.319
It's my birthday.

447
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.119
She was like, all right, we get finished eating and

448
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.519
he goes, where's my bread pudding?

449
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.119
No, you said you had it, that's what I want. Yeah,

450
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.160
he's good though. Good. I hope I get chance to

451
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.200
see him when when I get back.

452
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:02.759
Uh.

453
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.279
Speaking of getting back, so, like you just said, you're

454
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:09.079
in the hill country of Texas as a Hollywood man.

455
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:13.160
You're keeping it real in central Texas and then all

456
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.839
this weekend you got shows at Punchline in Irving, which

457
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.960
is the new comedy club there, sort of like the

458
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:24.279
Toyota Music Factory facility there in Los Calinas, Irving. I've

459
00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:26.680
not been there yet, but I've heard great things about it.

460
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:29.359
I have not been because, well, you know, when I

461
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.960
was working for AB back in the day, when I

462
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:32.240
was working with Bud Whisers back in the day, our

463
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.799
corporate office was in Irving right off of one fourteen, right,

464
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.039
I believe, yep, And so it was really nothing over

465
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:39.160
there but office parks.

466
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:39.920
Yeah.

467
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.720
And so even what you just said ago, I don't

468
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:44.160
know any of that being built up.

469
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:45.759
So I'm excited to see it. I mean, in the

470
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:47.920
way you just sounded, it sounds like my parking is

471
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.279
going to be not cheap.

472
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.960
No, you may have to do a little walking.

473
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.920
Yeah, yeah, maybe.

474
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:57.720
That's why you got that Uber one upgrade.

475
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.440
You didn't ask, I mean, they all on my phone.

476
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:01.799
Don't say it out loud, they're gonna give it back

477
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:02.960
to me. But I mean asking again.

478
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.079
Well, Well, now they've got Uber's rolling out the I

479
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.599
guess it's the test program for the Uber flying taxis.

480
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:16.480
I think I think they're doing that in l A.

481
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:16.759
I don't.

482
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:18.640
I don't know if they're doing the test program for

483
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:23.000
that one to Austin is okay. So yeah, are you

484
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:26.519
gonna get when when you would inevitably get signed up

485
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.119
for that service for the Uber flying taxes, are you

486
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:31.519
going to be lined up to take.

487
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:34.359
The I'm not. I haven't gotten a WAYMO yet.

488
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.440
I have not done the autonomous car they've they've given

489
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:39.799
me one.

490
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:43.119
I can't. I'm like, I'm I'm still I still like

491
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:43.960
people enough.

492
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:46.759
Yeah, but I have had some drivers where I'm like,

493
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.839
we're clearly both drunk.

494
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.279
It's a weird thing because I'm with you. I just

495
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.200
saw a video the other day of a Tesla on

496
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:00.799
autopilot run. This is a in in a Dallas freeway

497
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.279
run right into or actually, no, I think it was Houston,

498
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.839
ran right into a barrier on an overpass. Instead of

499
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:11.359
taking the nice, gentle curve to the left, it just

500
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.559
made a hard right right into the wall which was

501
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.279
ailing to drop off down below. It didn't go through it.

502
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:20.400
But that is I see those things enough where I'm like, man,

503
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:26.240
I have trust issues with people, but I don't trust

504
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.200
someone that is not there more, if that makes sense.

505
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.400
I always like to think it's I mean, and it

506
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.920
is neither positive or negative.

507
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.359
But I remember watching that movie Enders Game when the

508
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:39.599
kids were thought they were doing video games, but they're

509
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:43.319
really in a war, right of Like a part of

510
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.400
me is like, is somebody really controlling his car like

511
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.440
a video game from overseas or you know, some some

512
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.359
farm where they just got a joeystick and the controller

513
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:53.599
and they looked away real quick.

514
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.400
And that's why I mean, yeah, mom, I'm.

515
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:02.240
Doing it, you know, oh yeah, And then you know, yeah,

516
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:02.960
you gotta be happy.

517
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:04.519
You also have to hope if that is the case,

518
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:06.359
then you hope that that kids. You hope that that

519
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.920
kid doesn't think they're playing GTA.

520
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.400
I mean, but also was like does he even have

521
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:17.559
a license in real life? That's so we got to

522
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.839
get these kids together. I know too many sixteen to

523
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:21.759
twenty one year olds they're just friends' kids.

524
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:23.440
Or whatever, who are like I don't need to drive.

525
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:27.200
I go, oh my god, that's a thing.

526
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:31.440
Like I mean, for like thirteen, I go, I can't

527
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.039
wait to drive that car that has been getting dusty

528
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.440
in the backyard of my you know, my dad's old, old,

529
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:38.880
old truck that I couldn't drive, and I'll still wash

530
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.279
it every weekend just to get ready when I could.

531
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:45.799
I mean that these kids are like I gotta they

532
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:47.000
put a car phone.

533
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.599
Yeah, I mean they pull a car up that they

534
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:51.480
don't have to drive on their phone that they don't

535
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.119
pay for, Yeah, the phone or the car.

536
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:55.400
I'm with you.

537
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.680
I've got friends that have kids, and it's it's amazing

538
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.720
because when we were like getting your license and driving

539
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.319
was one of the biggest moments of your first you know,

540
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.920
your teen years, like that was it, that was the apex,

541
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.720
and they're all they don't care.

542
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:17.319
A lot of them don't even get their license till

543
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:17.880
they're eighteen.

544
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:20.440
That's why I'm not even grow mustaches.

545
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:22.279
I mean, like you have nothing to look forward to

546
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:23.559
to become a man.

547
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:27.400
It's it's it's so necessary.

548
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:31.279
So I mean, like for me, not only could I

549
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:34.240
not wait to start driving, I actually didn't. I went

550
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.759
and got the hardship license so I could drive before

551
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.000
I was sixteen and get to a job.

552
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:42.920
Yeah job in school yep.

553
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:46.279
Yeah, of course it didn't stay that way, but because

554
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:50.799
all I needed was just the approval of yeah course, yeah,

555
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:55.319
first beating ticket before sixteen, hell yeah, you know you

556
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.680
learned some things when when you start doing adult level

557
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:02.200
thing and I can't wrap my like you guys, I

558
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:08.119
can't wrap my brain around being any teenage year thinking

559
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:10.759
I don't really want to drive, like do I want

560
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:11.640
to get the hell out of here?

561
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:13.640
I mean it also is it'd be. I mean, I

562
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:18.079
know there's some that have access to a car. They're like, no,

563
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.079
I'm good. Then you go, well, then when you have

564
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:22.480
to get a job to pay for this phone, because

565
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:23.920
now this phone is mine. If you want to keep

566
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:26.640
that phone, you got to have a job. And do

567
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:29.039
you gotta do something for me too, because I'm now

568
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.440
I don't have a life anymore. I was almost back

569
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:34.680
to being able to be with my friends again and

570
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:36.640
you want to No, we're not doing that.

571
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:40.960
Speaking of speaking of what you got five more minutes?

572
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:41.559
Uh?

573
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:42.839
I can do five?

574
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:43.559
All right?

575
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:51.160
March Madness starts today, right, Uh so you know March madness.

576
00:26:51.319 --> 00:27:00.559
But speaking of having kids, do you know vast madness?

577
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.519
That is the proper pace to make. So as as

578
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.359
March Madness has grown in popularity, so as a trend

579
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.240
for guys to get vas sectomies this time of year,

580
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:14.000
the big idea, of course is to get snipped and

581
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.880
then spend three or four days recovering icing your junk

582
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:22.200
on the sofa while watching college maaster Man. And it's

583
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.720
picked up so much steam that you'll see urologists advertising

584
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:31.319
specials for vast Madness where they'll do discounts and promos

585
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:33.160
and things around the tournament.

586
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.200
Wow, it's funny because I just had the procedure that's

587
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:38.079
opposite of that.

588
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:45.559
About six months ago. Yeah. I know we only said

589
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:47.680
we have five minutes, but yeah, that's.

590
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:52.599
What I think. My brain is curdled on something. What

591
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:53.920
does that mean? You had done?

592
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:54.519
So?

593
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:58.519
That means I had to free up some It was

594
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:00.480
two things. I had to free up some.

595
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:05.799
Some icing swimmers for the cake.

596
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.799
Yeah.

597
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:09.880
I like that cake analogy. K. Yeah, let's run with that.

598
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.440
But because.

599
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.799
Uh, the cake was too the icing was too hot.

600
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.720
Okay, I really should have thought about this one better.

601
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:27.039
No, I'm enjoyed watching the process. This is a treat

602
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:27.359
for us.

603
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:32.640
And because if if you can't put hot icing on

604
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:37.519
a hot cake, you gotta put cooler icing. H you

605
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:40.920
can put cool icing on a hot cake, and and

606
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:46.920
the icing, the cool icing prefers to be the icing

607
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:49.680
itself prefers to be on a hot cake.

608
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.799
You can't have hot both because then the icing doesn't

609
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:59.440
nowhere to stay. Just it just it's sliding all off

610
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:05.079
on the side, and just as it has to be cooler.

611
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:10.440
All right, So hot cake good, hot icing bad.

612
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:13.720
Yeah, you don't want a glaze. You wanted icing, got

613
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:15.799
it and it was too hot, it becomes a glaze.

614
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.960
We got there, We got there, and I'm proud of you.

615
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:23.000
You made it. It was a perfect arc because we

616
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.000
said it and then uh, somewhere in the middle we

617
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.480
didn't know if it was going to work, and then

618
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:28.880
in the end you're brought it home.

619
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:31.279
The visual may not be great, but the but the

620
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:33.319
terminology that works.

621
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:35.920
No, the analogy I think, I think works very very well.

622
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.839
If it is this something that you're talking about, Is

623
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.839
this something that you're talking about on stage yet and

624
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:46.000
icing it's not.

625
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.079
It's not shit. No, I'm just saying what the doctor

626
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:52.440
said on stage. I'm going through the whole story of it.

627
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:57.839
I'm doing I'm doing my colloquial version of what the

628
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.039
doctor said and how I heard it. So, yes, I

629
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.200
I'm talking about this, but it's not and so I

630
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.240
might talk about that tonight a little bit now.

631
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:05.119
I mean, I wasn't going to it.

632
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:06.640
Now that you brought this up, I might, I might

633
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:09.160
talk about it, but no right now. So I'm taking

634
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:11.359
a friend of with me, videographer who works with me

635
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:13.880
a little bit. And so what I'm doing this weekend

636
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:16.599
is at least two of the shows, I'm running my

637
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:19.960
new Hour. So I'm running my new Hour that I

638
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.440
have to submit to Netflix so that they can improve it.

639
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.440
So hopefully i'll shoot here in a few months, so

640
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.480
it could be Dallas, would be Austin. But yeah, so

641
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:29.720
the hour, So I don't know what show. If you

642
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:31.799
listen to this and you come to a show, it

643
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:36.599
is start to finish going to be my new Hour.

644
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:40.160
So it's it's I'm very happy with it. It's very conversational,

645
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:44.240
it's very I think mature. I mean, if you've seen

646
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:46.839
me in the last year, there may be about fifteen

647
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:48.519
percent that you've heard before.

648
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:51.920
But it's a lot of new stuff that I'm super

649
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.839
excited about.

650
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.079
And I'm excited for you and I'm excited for me

651
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.480
selfishly to get to to get to hear it and

652
00:30:58.519 --> 00:30:58.880
to see it.

653
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:01.119
Oh man, I feel like it's a good pick up

654
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:03.200
from the last special like it's been a few years.

655
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:06.480
It's been about seven years since I had an hour and.

656
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:09.960
It is because my life is night and day from

657
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:10.839
what that was then.

658
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.559
So it is the new the new chapter of I

659
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.880
guess new book really not even new chapter, a new book,

660
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:19.240
volume two.

661
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:23.079
So yeah, very very very exciting.

662
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.599
How about I I want to see you tell an

663
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:30.799
icing story on stage.

664
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:35.160
I mean, I mean I.

665
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:36.680
Mean that, I mean it might work. I've been kind

666
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:39.559
of going with the real terminology, but maybe the icing.

667
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:43.559
Maybe icing is the key.

668
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:46.799
As long as they don't serve sweets and I think

669
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:47.240
you're good.

670
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:49.279
Yeah, you don't want people like looking their fingers while

671
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:49.960
I'm telling this a bit.

672
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:53.279
Yeah, someone just got a bag it donuts. They're going

673
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:54.279
to be really disappointed.

674
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:56.720
What trait?

675
00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:58.880
I got a hot man. All right, I'm gonna get

676
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:02.160
out of here. Dan, love you hopefully if you're in Dallas.

677
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:06.000
I got one show tonight. That's Thursday, the nineteenth, one

678
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:09.359
show Friday the twenty twentieth, and then two shows the

679
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.960
twenty first. At the time of the shows, I think

680
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.920
it's seven thirty, seven, thirty seven, and nine thirty. I

681
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:18.759
want to say those other times and I could be wrong.

682
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.720
But just take tonebo dot com or Irving punchline and

683
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:22.799
come check me out.

684
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.359
I tell him we appreciate it, all right, man, always

685
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:40.319
love y'all. Well, this is awkward. More information about the show. Hey,

686
00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:41.640
hang on, Dan's coming back.

687
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:45.920
What did I miss?

688
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:53.559
You're on computer audio and tone had to bolt, so

689
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.160
I wash. We said goodbye to him, plugged his shows

690
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:02.559
seven thirty Tonight, thirty Friday, then seven o'clock at nine

691
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:04.960
thirty at the punchline Irving.

692
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:14.359
I didn't get to stay by to our buddy.

693
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:17.240
Yeah, I looked up. I was like, I didn't know

694
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:19.400
if you were on another tab. Then it's like, oh nope,

695
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:20.359
he frozen.

696
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.720
Now it turns out the Water and Power Authority of

697
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:30.079
the US Virgin Islands is added again. Hardcore once again.

698
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:32.359
A stark reminder that if you watched the Super Bowl

699
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:36.720
halftime show with Bad Bunny when they showed the electrical

700
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:42.839
sparks and things on the power poles and they're showing

701
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.160
bait what's supposed to be Puerto Rico, it's kind of

702
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:45.839
like here too.

703
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.599
Here's if you think you know, we think urkat's bad,

704
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:57.519
you think your service is bad. There's a special on

705
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:02.440
HBO about the Fukushima New Clear plant and what happened

706
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:09.039
after the tsunami and then near meltdown. TEPCO makes everyone

707
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:15.960
look better, really, Tokyo Electric, Yeah, you never think of.

708
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:18.679
It.

709
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.320
It was shocking at how incompetent they were.

710
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.119
That is really surprising out of any Japanese company. For

711
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:34.960
a country whose company corporate business culture is so interwoven

712
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:38.880
into their lives, it's really surprising that they'd have a

713
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:39.639
company like that.

714
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:46.559
They couldn't get so they needed power supply to get

715
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:53.400
the controls back online for these nuclear power plants. They

716
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:55.760
kept sending like and they were asking for generators and

717
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.000
batteries and all like certain type of batteries. They kept

718
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.320
sending all the wrong stuff, and then they couldn't get

719
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:06.360
their drivers, Like the drivers didn't want to go near

720
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:11.480
Fukushimi because obviously it's there's radiation, so they would just stop,

721
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:16.239
and then they were making the very few remaining people

722
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.599
that were at the plant were then having to try

723
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:21.280
to get drive two hours to get this stuff and

724
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:22.920
bring it back and then it's the wrong stuff.

725
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:27.360
It was shockingly a shocking cluster.

726
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:36.360
Pun intended, no, but yeah it works, but we'll take

727
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:39.719
it sure, Yeah anyway, so I'm glad, thanks for thanks

728
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:44.679
for a wrapping a bow on our conversation with Tone,

729
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:46.079
Love our buddy, Love our palth.

730
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:48.519
There was one other story I wanted to in addition

731
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:52.039
to the vasectomy madness that I wanted to wedge in

732
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:57.079
here before the end of the broadcasting Broadcasting week inside

733
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:02.079
the Treehouse, and that is the state of Florida has

734
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:06.840
done one of the most Florida things it could possibly do.

735
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:13.400
The state of Florida failed to pass a ban on

736
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:20.880
first cousin marriage. To be fair, Florida is not the

737
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:24.719
only state that it's still legal to marry your first cousin.

738
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:27.880
But because it's Florida and they just tried to pass

739
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:32.440
a bill banning first cousin marriage and they couldn't do it, well,

740
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:38.000
it's getting quite a bit of attention. And my thought was,

741
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:42.079
how does this How does a bill like that not pass?

742
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.679
What got in the way? Why does a ban on

743
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:52.840
marrying your first cousin fail? It took a fair amount

744
00:36:52.880 --> 00:37:00.800
of digging, but according to Newsweek, cousin marriage wild taboo

745
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:03.840
to many Americans, has a long and complicated history in

746
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:06.000
the United States. It was legal in all thirty four

747
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:09.400
states during the Civil War, and remained socially acceptable in

748
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:13.920
many communities well into the nineteenth century. Lack of options.

749
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:18.360
Population wasn't as dense as it is now. So it's like,

750
00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:20.920
you got a cute first cousin, it's fine, go for it.

751
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:22.800
There's not that many of us running around, so we've

752
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:23.920
got to take a week and get.

753
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:25.719
So.

754
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:29.119
The bill in Florida was introduced by Republican Representative Dean Black,

755
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:33.559
who looked to outlaw all incestuous marriages with an amendment

756
00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:38.960
to a bill, and it didn't pass because they say

757
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:46.280
lawmakers in the legislative session ran out of time. How

758
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.239
long does it really need to take to tell a

759
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:54.159
bunch of how long does it really take to tell

760
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:55.000
a bunch of cousin?

761
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:03.280
No, it's actually becoming a bigger problem than you realize.

762
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:07.119
So because it's you think of that, you're thinking everything

763
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.599
of just in the under the specter of America being

764
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:14.400
you know, the United States, it's far more common in

765
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.480
other cultures.

766
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:19.000
It is, and in other parts of the world. So

767
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:25.000
there are eighteen states in the United States, plus Washington,

768
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:28.840
d c. Where it is still legal to marry your

769
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.119
first cousin. And like you said, Trey, it's also a

770
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:36.440
common thing in areas of the Middle East and Northern

771
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:41.440
Africa to take a cousin bride. Now, it's an interesting thing.

772
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:47.679
Albert Einstein married his cousin, fd R married his first cousin.

773
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:54.440
Granted that was a long time ago and whatever. So yeah,

774
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:56.840
but since it is the United States and we like

775
00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:01.599
to think of ourselves as more evolved, is is, why

776
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:03.679
is it so difficult to tell a bunch of people

777
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:05.840
you you shouldn't be married, and let's make a law

778
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:06.239
out of it.

779
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:08.079
Well, it shouldn't, but.

780
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:15.840
Uh, you know, you look at the dipshits that we

781
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:20.000
elect into different offices at both sides of the aisle.

782
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:22.920
It shouldn't be a big shocker, you know what.

783
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:25.480
You may be right, Maybe the reason why Florida can't

784
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:28.159
pass a ban on first cousin marriage is because you

785
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.920
got a bunch of people who have been elected who

786
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:36.119
married their first cousin. Yeah, or, as some people said,

787
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:39.039
you know what, first cousin marriage isn't so bad because

788
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:43.719
at least the wedding party will be smaller and Grandpa

789
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:48.239
doesn't have to choose which side of the ceremony to sit.

790
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:53.079
Yeah, yeah, in laws only have to buy one gift.

791
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:56.719
I mean just imagine, just imagine you have kids and

792
00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:59.400
your grandpa, you have kids, and those kids have kids.

793
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:02.480
Now you're a grand father and you get a wedding invitation.

794
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:11.159
Just getting these cities like little Timmy and little Oh god, sorry,

795
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:15.599
that can't feel good if you're the grandparent, right.

796
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:19.400
Uh, it depends.

797
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:24.519
Uh you know, are you related to your did it

798
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:28.840
start with them?

799
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.599
You know what, it's just really great when when my

800
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:33.239
cousin uncles can can can find somebody special.

801
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:37.000
Yeah, you know, and there may be a sense of pride. Actually,

802
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:42.400
you know what, there's a there is a YouTube they

803
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:45.840
actually just had to in West Virginia. There there was

804
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:47.400
a YouTube special and I cannot think of the name

805
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:54.039
of it about basically the longest running inbred family in

806
00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:57.440
the United States. And it's everything you would think after

807
00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:58.679
generations of inbreeding.

808
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:00.519
Is it just the Hills have eyes?

809
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:06.159
Yes? Oh god.

810
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.920
And they're public about it because they think it's okay,

811
00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:11.559
or they just don't know any better.

812
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:19.400
I think more of the if they're just so stupid day. Yeah,

813
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:20.920
it's just good they.

814
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.320
Don't realize how fucked up they are.

815
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:27.320
I'm guessing they don't get out much.

816
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:27.800
Yeah.

817
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:33.559
No, So if you're curious, there are several states it's

818
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:38.480
actually more than several, that allow marrying first cousins without restrictions.

819
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:48.840
Those states include Florida, Alabama, Alaska, New York, California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland,

820
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:54.239
New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, DC.

821
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.519
And I know what you're wondering. Is it legal to

822
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:01.159
marry your first cousin in the state of Texas. Nope,

823
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:05.639
Texas is not on this list. Thirty two states have

824
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:10.400
blanket bands on cousin marriages. The exceptions on some of

825
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:18.679
these states. Those exceptions are due to advanced age of

826
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:25.679
the cousins to be married or infertility issues, And if

827
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:28.320
you don't have those things, then some of those states

828
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:35.639
still make you go through a genetics counseling class before

829
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:36.840
you can get married.

830
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.119
So if if you're old and you can't have kids,

831
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:42.239
then you can marry your first cousin.

832
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:48.920
I mean, okay, it kind of it makes sense.

833
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.800
Yeah, I get it, you know, yeah, you can't scrip

834
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:54.159
anyone else knock yourself out.

835
00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:56.719
Yeah, I can appreciate that.

836
00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:59.639
Yeah, I mean it's it's not bothering me. I mean

837
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:02.360
that the two that's sort of the ultimate litmus test

838
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:04.519
of whether or not you should be allowed to do

839
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:07.880
something in this country, which is does it affect me?

840
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:13.000
Does it affect somebody else, either intentionally or unintentionally? And

841
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.280
if you want to hunt your cousin till you die

842
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:20.239
and that doesn't affect me, okay, And as long as

843
00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:25.199
you're not reproducing and dumbing down the country by doing so,

844
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:29.199
then yeah, I guess it's fine, especially if you can

845
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:31.719
keep it in the family compound somewhere in the Black

846
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:33.199
Hills of West Virginia.

847
00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:34.920
Sure, why not?

848
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:43.639
Whatever makes you happy. I just don't want to see

849
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:49.480
