Say it ain't so, Tony Romo!

On this episode of The Treehouse Show, we kick things off with the surprising arrest of former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo for an alleged OWI. We listen to the newly released body cam footage and debate the big question: Did he actually appear to be under the influence, or is there more to the story?

Then it's time for Celebrity Birthdays, where we're shocked that Laurence Fishburne is younger than we expected while Arnold Schwarzenegger somehow keeps getting older without slowing down.

Finally, we wrap up the week with one of the internet's hottest debates: Can millennials actually make minivans cool again? Is the minivan due for a comeback, or is this trend doomed before it starts?

Join Dan and Trey for another episode filled with funny debates, pop culture, celebrity talk, weird news, and plenty of laughs.

all of us. So coming up on today's end of

19
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:11.280
week banger. How did I think of it earlier when

20
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.920
I was brushing my teeth? Oh a news of palooza.

21
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.519
Stupid news of palooza. That's where we will clean out

22
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.840
the files from this week of the things we didn't

23
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.840
get a chance to get to previously during the week.

24
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.760
So stupid news of Palooza today coming up inside the

25
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:36.239
tree House. Plus would you say something about the barefoot

26
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.959
man in the movie Theater? Also Trey's Big pile of Nope.

27
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.560
And I think it's very important that we start today

28
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.120
with some very compelling audio slash video and that stems

29
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:54.400
from former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's arrest in Wisconsin

30
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:59.719
for ow I. There is so much to learn when

31
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.120
it comes to this case, the first of which is

32
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.680
teaching everyone what OWI means, because it's really hard to

33
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.639
keep up with these different initials in different states and

34
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.919
municipalities for what things are like. It used to just

35
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.120
be well, actually, if I'm being honest, there didn't even

36
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.159
used to be a driving while intoxicated or drunk driving.

37
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.479
It was just you know, will you make it home

38
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.840
and then occasionally the officer might help you. Then they started,

39
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.680
you know, implementing laws and things, and then they started

40
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:31.560
arresting you for it.

41
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.080
Well, I remember it was it was originally DWI, then

42
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.240
it really turned into DUI.

43
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:46.280
Yep, it's kind of a fascinating transformation of the letters.

44
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.719
It's like, I don't really know. I know why a

45
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.719
couple of them just because they try to differentiate between

46
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:59.039
like drugs and alcohol or whatever. So I guess this

47
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.080
ow I is just an extension of that. But then

48
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.639
I guess also because the vehicles people were using weren't

49
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.080
necessarily driving.

50
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.800
Well would my guess would be especially I believe that

51
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.159
was in Wisconsin. Is they needed something broader base other

52
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.439
than just a motor vehicle. Uh you know. I mean

53
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.560
we've see all seen the stories from tractors to riding

54
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.879
lawnmowers and horses.

55
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.840
So I think that's why they they had to move

56
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.599
away from the d in d w Y too, oh,

57
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.319
which is just operating. You're doing something while intoxicated. Therefore

58
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.159
we need to pull you over, get you off the

59
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.560
streets because you you are a danger to society.

60
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.639
I think in the future it'll just be question mark WI.

61
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.919
And will somehow be able to pull in. I identify

62
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.439
as and maybe even pronouns in the middle of operating

63
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:10.479
machinery while intoxicated. Well, I'm I'm driving a truck, but

64
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:16.920
I identify it as a lamba, and my pronoun is he,

65
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.199
and they have a pronoun of they for the lama.

66
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.319
So let's just integrate all of it together.

67
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.439
I think, you know a little more simpler and just

68
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.800
say I identify a sober.

69
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:34.160
Yes, that's it, that's the one. Yeah, I identify as

70
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.600
sober and you can't question it. Yeah, now, let me go, officer.

71
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.800
That actually might be an interesting test of the legal system.

72
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:49.680
So last Thursday, July twenty third, at approximately five point

73
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.240
thirty in the afternoon, on an I forty three high

74
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:57.120
rise bridge in Milwaukee, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo

75
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.920
was pulled over for erratic driving and then was later

76
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:07.639
arrested and booked on suspicion of o WI operating wild intoxicated.

77
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.160
And let's be honest, let's give let's give our boy

78
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.360
Tony Romo credit. He managed to wait until retirement to

79
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.759
get his first mug shot. Most Cowboys players knock that

80
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.240
out in their first season. Yeah, so you know, he

81
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.480
held off pretty good. So good on Tony also, and look,

82
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.000
when I first saw the story break, I think I

83
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.879
saw the same thing that everyone else did, and that

84
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.240
was Tony's mugshot, which, honest to God, may be one

85
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.319
of the douchiest mugshots I have ever seen. It's like

86
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:50.920
he went out of his way to channel early two

87
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.680
thousands Tony when he was still wearing Affliction shirt. And

88
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.759
I know that to be the fact. I know that

89
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.079
to be the case because I met him on a

90
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.639
few occasions. The first time I met him, he was

91
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.720
wearing a white Affliction shirt. But I feel like this

92
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.240
smile and the mugshot that he's doing where it's like

93
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:14.519
the slightly pursed and curled lips, that's not a natural smile.

94
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.240
I feel like that's something that you have to practice

95
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.720
in the mirror to attain because my mouth doesn't make

96
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.759
that shape normally. I have to try to do it,

97
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.160
and even then I'm not good at it. He can

98
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.079
bam right there full.

99
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.079
Douche, or he's just stoned to the Jesus.

100
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.199
I'm glad you bring that up because the bodycam video

101
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.879
of his arrest and investigation on the side of the

102
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:47.040
interstate in Wisconsin was released, and I would like you

103
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.720
to take I would like you to watch a little

104
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.040
bit of it, and then we can analyze what we

105
00:06:54.120 --> 00:07:00.000
think about Romo's state of mind during this traffic stuff.

106
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.839
Uh same pulled this up here and here from our

107
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.600
our buddy old pals at TMZ Sports.

108
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:18.199
All right, where are you coming from the golf course? Okay, okay,

109
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.040
I'll take the driver's.

110
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:20.639
License from you.

111
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:21.079
You got it?

112
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.000
What's your name? Deputy Corps.

113
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:27.480
One?

114
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.000
I passed the gore, which is the place you're talking about.

115
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.399
You're saying I went over the white line? All right?

116
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.480
So there's there's all this the initial information. We get

117
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.560
an idea of what he looks like, what he sounds like.

118
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.120
He's asking her her name, which is good charm school

119
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.160
one O one, you know, like, hey, so what's your name?

120
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.360
Not in the necessarily like hitting on way, but just like, hey,

121
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.040
let's get to know each other a little bit here,

122
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.439
because obviously she knows his because it's on his license,

123
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.040
and he's also quite famous. But uh. We also get

124
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.800
the information as the reason why he was stopped because

125
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.360
the officer says that he had drifted over the white line,

126
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.160
i e. Driving radically used that as the probable cause

127
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.680
to pull him over and then try to ascertain if

128
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.240
whether or not he was under the influence.

129
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:18.680
Initial thoughts, Trey, Initial thoughts, you spent the day at

130
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.439
the golf course. Chances are you've been drinking.

131
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.040
It's funny you mentioned that because she's up the same mindset.

132
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:28.839
What's a good phone number for you?

133
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:31.759
Oh?

134
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.679
Darn yeah, Jerry, I'm sorry you're not getting Romo's number

135
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:36.960
in this.

136
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:41.679
Das.

137
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.000
All right, what's your dad for the same last name? Yeah,

138
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.480
so I got to say.

139
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.759
Okay, all right, thanks, time for me?

140
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.480
All right? So she goes back to her squad. Then

141
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.159
she and then the video edits, and now she's coming

142
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.519
back to his driver's window.

143
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.279
All right, how many drinks have you appen.

144
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:05.759
You're coming?

145
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.840
He said zero? If you couldn't quite hear that, just

146
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.360
a proper answer. What's that tray?

147
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.360
That is the proper answer. Don't ever, don't ever think

148
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.240
that you're gonna get off if you just go, oh,

149
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.399
I've had you know, one or two? Because that opens

150
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.080
you have just given them probable.

151
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.200
Cause exactly, so you have been drinking. Here's the thing.

152
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.600
You say one or two, what doesn't matter. You've just

153
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.320
admitted to drinking. It doesn't matter if you think your

154
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.799
BAC is below the legal limit. But as soon as

155
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.080
you tell the officer, yes, I've been drinking, the amount

156
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.039
doesn't matter because now they know there's alcohol in your system,

157
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.200
and they want to find out how much. Uh, and

158
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.039
she does mention here about how she hits him on

159
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.720
the golf course thing here, right, okay, all right, thanks

160
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:53.240
tight for me?

161
00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:00.440
All right, how many drinks have you app coming from

162
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.039
a golf cart?

163
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.399
I'm played golf in Wisconsin state owns.

164
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.039
You're trying to tell me you played golf today and

165
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:15.759
you didn't drink. Look, I'm trying to be objectionable here,

166
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.440
but I totally get where the officers coming from because

167
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:23.320
I don't know anyone except for Trey who plays golf sober.

168
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.399
And the only reason Trey does is because he now

169
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:26.679
does everything sober.

170
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.320
Yeah, if there was one time, if I could, if

171
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.879
I could pick a time to drink, it would probably

172
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:34.639
be playing golf.

173
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.639
And it's honest to God, honest to God, the fact

174
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.960
that you've you've now been sober ten years and you

175
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:45.000
play golf. I mean that is I mean props to

176
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.320
you and your willpower, because I mean, if there's ever

177
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.519
a spot where you might, you know, fall off the

178
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.399
wagon or the golf cart, it's going to be playing golf.

179
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.159
And especially if you've been playing in a golf tournament.

180
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.720
That that's almost generally a free for all.

181
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.480
I've helped out with a number of those, including one

182
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:03.480
for the Dallas Cowboys.

183
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.159
Mmmm. It's well, it's very it's very wet. It's uh.

184
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:14.080
Yeah, shotguns start and sometimes they start shotgunning beers.

185
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:23.559
Yeah, so he said, so okay, So I didn't hear

186
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.080
that the first time I listened to it. So he

187
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.000
gave the name of the golf tournament. He says, it's

188
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:32.480
a USGA event, therefore it's more of an official thing,

189
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:37.480
so no drinking involved. This isn't This isn't like Golden

190
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.120
Tea in real life, where you're wearing funny hats and

191
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.639
shotgunning things and and you're hitting on the cart girls.

192
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:47.679
He says. It's USGA. They kind of frown on, you know,

193
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.240
the drinking, unless maybe you're John Daily and you've got

194
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:51.279
it just hidden in your back.

195
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.200
You're coming from a golf court.

196
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.840
I'm playing golf in Scott's have stayed after.

197
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.480
Okay, So it's like a.

198
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.000
Okay, all right, I'm gonna run you use the fields.

199
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:21.759
Are you willing to take an I'm sorry, yes, you're

200
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:26.879
today to step out of the vehicle. Okay, step out

201
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:27.279
of the vehicle.

202
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:33.279
This is a very crucial moment in the video, extremely crucial.

203
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:41.759
This is the moment where the stop could turn electric. Uh,

204
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.799
and it's look, this is really important to note. Uh.

205
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.480
This is where Hollywood has lied to us, and it's

206
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.759
important in some instances that I think Hollywood start correcting

207
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.840
a few of these, especially when it comes to your

208
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:58.440
constitutional rights versus what fits in conveniently in a you know,

209
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:04.679
police or law procedural. There's no such thing as call.

210
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.240
You get one phone call when you get to jail.

211
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.559
That's not a thing. You can get calls you don't.

212
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.759
There's no such thing as calling your lawyer in this situation.

213
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.399
Everything you're supposed to do is follow the officers instructions

214
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.320
and if you don't, then other things can happen.

215
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:23.320
Well, if you haven't been mirandized yet, you have, like

216
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.399
that's all out the window. And like you said, and

217
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.799
God knows, there are a number of these videos out

218
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:34.840
on social media, especially with the sovereign citizens. They don't

219
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.080
have to negotiate with you if they would tell you,

220
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.320
and especially in this situation, if they say you want

221
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.320
to do a field sobriety test, it's a yes or no, Yes,

222
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:46.600
get out and do it. No, get out and put

223
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:47.519
your hands behind your.

224
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.080
Back, or I'll come in and get you.

225
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.080
And it's always been that way. I mean Everett used

226
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.200
to going back years ago before before they had mandatory

227
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.639
you know, they could get a warm for your blood

228
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.960
and everything else. The running thing was if you get

229
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.440
pulled over and it comes to the situation at a

230
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.000
certain point, just get out of the car, step to rear,

231
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.039
put your hands behind your back. You're going to jail.

232
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.399
Don't blow, don't do the fields of briety test, don't

233
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.039
do it all. Call your attorney.

234
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:23.120
Deal with it there, right, because odds are, as soon

235
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:28.039
as the officer pulls you over, because the officer suspects

236
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:34.200
you of being intoxicated, you're going to jail. I can't

237
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:38.039
think of any occasion where an officer genuinely suspected someone

238
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:39.240
and then let them go.

239
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.679
Oh I can, God knows what happened to me a

240
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.399
number of times.

241
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.639
Okay, poor example. I also know of another time when

242
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:58.919
they know someone was completely effed up and effed up

243
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:04.519
their vehicle and nothing happened. Right, So, yes, it does happen.

244
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:08.840
Let me backtrack a little bit. For those that don't

245
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.279
have friends in law enforcement, they are not letting you go.

246
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.080
Especially and what happened to me that was twenty five

247
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:21.279
years ago. Today, No, they especially with body cams and

248
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:26.440
everything else. If they suspect you of DUI, chances are

249
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:27.360
you are going to jail.

250
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.120
Right. And here's the reason why it's important to bring

251
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.039
that up is because then the lawyer thing where he

252
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.639
wants to call his lawyer and ask is am I

253
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.879
supposed to do this or not? I get from the

254
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.039
citizen point, you want to be like, oh, I want

255
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.519
to check my rights. I shouldn't have to do this.

256
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.639
I know I'm not drunk, or trying to convince them

257
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:50.399
I'm not drunk. Public safety has superseded your self interest

258
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.399
or your constitutional what you see as your constitutional rights.

259
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:57.120
The officer truly believes you're a danger to society. They're

260
00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:58.960
not going to let you call your lawyer and then

261
00:15:59.080 --> 00:15:59.600
drive away.

262
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.480
The beauty of it is, if you are sober, ultimately

263
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:06.759
you will be vindicated, whether it be by the field

264
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.759
sobriety test or by your B a C coming back

265
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:12.879
below the legal limit.

266
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.039
Yep, let's go back.

267
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:15.600
To the tape.

268
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.480
The sobriety test.

269
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:32.399
The vehicle.

270
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.840
So now he's still rifling through his phone trying to

271
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.679
find his attorney, which, by the way, is still a

272
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.360
good indicator. He's having a hard time finding it, which

273
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.840
means he doesn't call the attorney very much. Again, very

274
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.639
unlike most Cowboys players former and current. Is he saying

275
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.759
I'm not allowed to Yeah, he's asking. He's like, so,

276
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:56.360
I'm not allowed to call my lawyer. And that's why

277
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.000
I brought up the Hollywood thing. Everyone assumes that you're

278
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.480
allowed to call your lawyer whatever, and it's just you're not.

279
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.079
You're the officer's job is to get you off the

280
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.400
street because they think you're a danger to everyone and

281
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.559
they're not going to just let you do whatever you want.

282
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.400
And when when you're with the Cowboys, you don't need

283
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.000
to call the attorney. They just you call one person

284
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:21.720
and they fix everything for you. Uh huh, unless you're

285
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.839
unless you're dead, then you have a dedicated person.

286
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:30.160
That's right. Oh man, oh dead?

287
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:31.079
Miss those days.

288
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:41.319
Back to the video, I'll take an additional time seventeen.

289
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.200
Not stepping out of the vehicle. So here she's she

290
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.880
just called dispatch and said, I need another I need

291
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.920
backup on this because I may have to, you know,

292
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:54.720
put this man in irons, I'll do it. I'm just

293
00:17:54.799 --> 00:18:20.400
saying that I'm not out of that. And you know what, again,

294
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.359
I give I give I give rum credit there he's

295
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.079
he's gotten clear instructions. I give the officer credit. She

296
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.680
gave them clear, gave him clear instructions. Back he's like, okay,

297
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.079
I'll get out of the vehicle. I get it. Not

298
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:37.720
allowed to got it it?

299
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:41.119
Did?

300
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.960
I forget to add it? Back? My bad. Here we go.

301
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.680
So here he's just getting out of the vehicle, seat

302
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:57.240
belt off. So you're gonna step in front of my

303
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:10.839
son in my vehicle, all right? So that that's the

304
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.440
end of the video that teams Sports has makes his

305
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.880
way back to her vehicle. She says, for backup, you

306
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:19.720
don't need to hurry. He's out of the vehicle now

307
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.000
and he's going to do some tests. So, now that

308
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:25.160
you've seen the entirety of what we've seen so far,

309
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.240
what is your assessment on our boy Tony?

310
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.960
I mean, not hammered, but I'm gonna go with you know,

311
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.039
he definitely had a few beers on the course.

312
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:43.039
What about you, Jerry? You think you think he's you

313
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.480
think you think he drink and drive. Jesus I'm drinking coffee,

314
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.160
and I saw like, I sound more drunk than he does.

315
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:55.880
He is definitely off, but definitely. It's interesting because while

316
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.720
I was watching and I was like, I mean, I

317
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.599
don't see him every day. I don't see him when

318
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:04.960
he's not, you know, commentating on football games. He seems okay,

319
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.960
seems really tired, yep, And I see what he means.

320
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.839
He's like, I was at a USGA amateur event. There's

321
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:20.000
not drinking during that, okay, but there's also the nineteenth hole.

322
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:28.920
You're telling me. Yeah, Now, the police department, I don't

323
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:30.759
know if it was a police department or a deputies,

324
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:36.200
but they said that they pulled him over for erradic

325
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.119
lane weaving. He said he had zero drinks. He declined

326
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.279
a preliminary breath test as to call his lawyer before

327
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:46.480
and this is according to a couple of news outlets,

328
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:51.599
before performing poorly on field sobriety tests. So we don't

329
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.519
I haven't seen what happened in the field sobriety tests.

330
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.400
But this is where I go back to what we've

331
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:04.599
been told for years by attorneys and police officers, and

332
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.200
I feel I think we should disclaim this by saying

333
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.440
do not take what we say as your own personal

334
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.160
legal advice. We are not lawyers. You contact your lawyer

335
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.200
and contact and expert. That being said, from what we've

336
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.400
been told, don't even bother doing the tests. All that

337
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:27.240
is is evidence gathering against you. Don't do it.

338
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.240
Unless you're sober. Unless you are unless you are sober.

339
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.759
And even then maybe maybe not because I mean, like

340
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.039
chances are you're you're going to jail unless you know

341
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.200
for a fact you are stone cold sober and you

342
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:46.160
can do all those tests without any question. I wouldn't

343
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.640
even recommend it. You're just killing time. You're like, you're

344
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.240
going to go to jail, so you just get it

345
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:52.039
over with. It's like you said, go to the back

346
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.039
of go to where they tell you follow the directions

347
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.400
and just say I'm not going to do it.

348
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:00.880
Only different I believe. Now if you refre use, you

349
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.240
get an automatic license suspension.

350
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.480
In most states, that would be be where it'd be

351
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.279
really smart to ask an attorney to see if that's

352
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:08.839
the case.

353
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.079
Or you know, and it's easy for me to say

354
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:16.119
now as I'm almost ten years sober, don't drink and drive.

355
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:26.920
Here is that. I hate it when you're right hey Man.

356
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:31.519
Ten years sober, I still will go out on occasion

357
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.839
and drink, and I don't I know better than to

358
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:35.160
do that.

359
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:40.200
So it is one of the greatest miracles of life

360
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:43.960
that I got through twenty five years of alcoholism with

361
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.000
nearly a DWI. I got arrested for one, pulled over

362
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:50.920
for one. Actually got pulled over because I didn't have

363
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:55.400
a front license plate. And honestly, of the thousands of

364
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:57.680
times I could have been busted, it was the one

365
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:01.240
night where I really wasn't. Only reason he hauled me

366
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:03.599
in was because I'd been out at the Indie race

367
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:05.200
the night before and there was an empty beer can

368
00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:09.519
in the back of my car. And but my intox

369
00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:13.759
video was perfect. I refused to blow in talks from

370
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.440
video was perfect. Even the officer on the stand everyone

371
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:20.599
got asked him, how would you grade that? He was like, well,

372
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.319
B minus C plus he guess, really, where's the mistake?

373
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.200
Fine and A minus?

374
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:28.759
Damn Everett get in that ass.

375
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:31.799
That's because I hadn't seen it. You know, we went

376
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:34.400
to try and seen anything. And then Everett Everett comes

377
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:35.799
out of the room where you know they meet with

378
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:38.039
the DA right before the trial and kind of look

379
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:40.119
over everything, and he came out smiling. He goes, you're good.

380
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:43.960
He's done enough of those cases. He knows, he knows

381
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:45.319
where this case is going to land.

382
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:45.599
Right.

383
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:50.119
So yeah, Everett ever Newton or old pal, the Rock

384
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.799
and Roll attorney retired now, right, So he did so

385
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:56.200
well at defending you and so many others. He's like,

386
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:02.559
I'm good now. And he also doesn't drink, so he's

387
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:06.160
never had one either, as far as I know. And again,

388
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:09.319
I hate that you're right, but I also am with

389
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:11.160
you that there there have been there have been times

390
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.079
where I was like, oh, I should not have made

391
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:23.799
that home. Mm hmmm hm, Well the other wrinkled to this.

392
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:25.039
I just want to mention this quickly.

393
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:26.240
Uh.

394
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.759
Someone had reached out to CBS Sports to see if

395
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:35.240
Romo's arrest for ow I would affect his employment, and

396
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:44.519
they're like, no, really, all the things that former players

397
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:49.400
and coaches have done and are currently doing, an ow

398
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:53.880
i've uh an ow I arrest in Milwaukee where Romo

399
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:59.799
is polite, maybe maybe you know, intoxicated, but he's not belligerent.

400
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.839
He's he's not dropping in bombs, he's not punching anybody.

401
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.319
He's not sleeping with somebody else's wife. He's not murdering anybody.

402
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:10.400
CBS Sports is like, please, he's fine. If anything, it

403
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:11.279
just makes him cooler.

404
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.440
Well, but CBS Sports also has a history. They're great,

405
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:20.839
possibly their greatest play by play man, Pat summer All

406
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.720
was hammered in the booth for years, both football and golf.

407
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.839
I mean it was known that he and Ken Venturrey

408
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:31.920
doing golf would polish a fifth a day. So they

409
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:36.640
don't have their history, and they're like, yeah, you know what,

410
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:38.599
maybe that'll make him a little better. Here, I have

411
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:40.680
a cocktail, you know what.

412
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:43.480
Honestly, maybe that's the reason why Romo decided to go

413
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:47.720
with CBS Sports, because he's like, hey, that's the party channel. Yeah,

414
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:53.279
let's get Daniel Cook from cook DFW Roofing and Restoration

415
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.160
in the tree House for your free roof inspection and

416
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.200
property review called eight three three cook d f W

417
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.680
today to get that scheduled eight three to three COOKEDFW.

418
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:07.039
The website is cookedfw dot com. Daniel part of the

419
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.799
roofing process is knowing about ventilation and how important that

420
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:14.240
can be to the life of the roof. That's something

421
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:17.839
you guys look at. It's not just about shingles absolutely. Dan.

422
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.319
A lot of homeowners underestimate the amount of attic heat

423
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.160
build up that their home has, affects their AC system,

424
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:31.079
affects their roof condition, long term, affects just overall their home.

425
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:34.039
And so when we come out we make that assessment

426
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:36.240
with the homeowner, We try to educate them, make sure

427
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:37.480
they have the proper ventilation.

428
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:39.640
There is a calculation of this.

429
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:41.839
We walk them around if they're interested in going around,

430
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:43.720
we show them what their intakes look like, what their

431
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.400
exhaust system looks like, and try to make the best

432
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:48.559
fit for their home. So that's a very common thing

433
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:50.200
that we do, and it should be done every time

434
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.279
you have construction done at your property. You need to

435
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:54.640

436
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:58.799
And if you've ever dealt with a roofing contractor that

437
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:04.799

454
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:14.359
twenty six. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Also quick note,

455
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:18.359
I can't believe it's almost August. Today is a really

456
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.640
fun birthday day. So let's start with Delta Burke. She

457
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.519
is seventy today. She is best known for playing Suzanne

458
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:28.599
sugar Baker on one of the all time great sitcoms,

459
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:33.599
Yeah I Said It, Designing Women, an outstanding cast that

460
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:39.599
included Delta Burke, Annie Potts, the two other Ladies and

461
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:41.839
a goddamn legend and me, Shock.

462
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.200
Taylor and Gerald McRaney. Wasn't he on there?

463
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:48.000
Yeah? I think he was because at the time Jerald

464
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:49.519
McCraney and Delta Burke were married.

465
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:53.200
I thought they met on Designing Women.

466
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.279
Maybe they did. Yeah, and then he went on to

467
00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:59.559
have one of my favorite sitcoms as a kid, major

468
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:04.960
dad who knew who knew? The Marines could be still funny.

469
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.200
And Designing Women was a good show. I never was

470
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:11.519
glued to it.

471
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:14.319
I wasn't gled to it, but I lived with my

472
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:17.039
grandmother and I watched a lot of what she watched.

473
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:22.000
So yeah, that's why I'm very familiar with Angela Lansbury

474
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:23.160
and and Matt Locke.

475
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:28.279
Same. But uh, yeah, and that's.

476
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:33.160
Interesting, you said, because The Golden Girls was a great show.

477
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.119
But it has remained it Sometimes people it's just it's

478
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:44.880
a secret, like a blank on what there's a name

479
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:45.079
for that.

480
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.559
But uh, guilty, guilty, guilty, pleasure.

481
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:51.039
Yeah, I wonder if Designing Women has that same feels,

482
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.599
that same void. I'm not to go back and watch

483
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.160
a few episodes. I do remember it being really funny.

484
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.200
Oh it was such a great show. And and again,

485
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:05.000
there are certain shows and actors and actresses I watched

486
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:07.720
as a kid, not because I sought them out, but

487
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:10.720
because I lived with my grandmother and I watched a

488
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:14.480
lot of what she watched, Like Designing Woman. You mentioned

489
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:18.599
Golden Girls. I'm not a Golden Girl's retread viewer like

490
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.400
so many people are today where they're like, oh, look

491
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:24.039
at this old show I found. No, I was a

492
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:28.599
first run Golden Girls. Bro Me and my grandmother watching

493
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.359
Golden Girls and Love and Ruth and Blanche and all

494
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:36.640
of it. So yet Designing Women, Golden Girls, first run

495
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:41.920
Matt Locke in the heat of the night, anything with Angela,

496
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:45.920
anything with Angela Lansbury Murder, she wrote, absolutely Sunday Night,

497
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:52.640
glued to the TV Dallas, Mm hmmm, Dynasty, Yeah, Not's Landing. Yeah,

498
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:55.400
but yeah, I mean Designing Women was a really fun

499
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:57.720
show that I would not have watched had it not

500
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.519
been for my grandmother. So yeah, And then like we

501
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:05.920
mentioned that led us into Delta Burke married to Gerald McCraney.

502
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:13.440
Jerald McCraney in Major Dad Other Birthdays today, you know

503
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:17.000
how Earlier in the week we dissected the Karate Kid

504
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:22.680
movies one, two, three, and four. Hillary Swank is fifty

505
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.920
two today. Another example as to the reason why we

506
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:28.559
do birthdays. We'll bring up something just completely randomly, and

507
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:30.799
then it'll pop in later on the week it's that

508
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.960
person's birthday, and here we are. She's a two time

509
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:39.559
Academy Award winner despite dispite Karate Kid four.

510
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.440
Yeah, that really is impressive because, yeah, typically a Karate

511
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.119
Kid four is gotta hang around your neck like a anchor.

512
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:53.640
I mean, it really is. When you think about Hollywood

513
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.680
careers and how impressive it is that some actors were

514
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.759
talented enough or were fortunate enough to be and roles

515
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:06.640
despite some of their earlier works, it's fascinating. Hillary Swank

516
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:10.000
is one of those. Ben Affleck, to me, is kind

517
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.279
of one of those because I still remember him in

518
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:16.960
the After School Special where he's the high school guy

519
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:18.079
taking steroids.

520
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:25.680
Does does Ben Affleck reach the same stardom if it's

521
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:30.240
not for a movie that he and they am and

522
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:31.839
wrote in Goodwill Hunting?

523
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:37.599
Maybe not. And since Tara and I just rewatched Goodwill Hunting,

524
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:39.440
we went back and looked at sort of like what

525
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:41.799
they had done before that movie, and it's not like

526
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:46.880
those guys were struggling that hard because the way my

527
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:49.839
memory worked was I thought that they had had next

528
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.319
to nothing, and that's the reason why they had written

529
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:55.759
Goodwill Hunting and then that catapulted each of their careers.

530
00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:59.400
But even before Goodwill Hunting, Matt Damon was in school

531
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:06.000
Ties opposite Brendan Fraser. Ben Affleck had already been in

532
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:11.759
Maul Rats, I believe, Chasing Amy. I can't remember if

533
00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:15.039
that was right before or right after Goodwill Hunting, but

534
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.920
that was gonna happen regardless of the Goodwill Hunting thing,

535
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:21.400
because they were already buddies with Kevin Smith. Kevin Smith

536
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:27.359
was in fact an executive producer on Goodwill Hunting. So

537
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:29.960
would they have had the same career, I don't know,

538
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:32.440
but they would have each had some type of a career.

539
00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:37.279
I remember more Ben Affleck than I do Matt Damon

540
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:41.759
as being a b role player, not the main star,

541
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.599
but in a lot of movies.

542
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:49.400
Yeah, Goodwill Hunting definitely served as a sling shot for

543
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:54.480
Matt Damon, absolutely, And it was interesting seeing him in

544
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:58.000
Goodwill Hunting all the way back in nineteen ninety eight,

545
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:03.200
and that was coming off of having just seen him

546
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.960
in the Odyssey, you know, thirty years later, it's like, man,

547
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:08.360
you talk about a solid career.

548
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:12.880
Have you seen the meme going around of like Hollywood

549
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.280
has spent six hundred and fifty million dollars saving that

550
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:17.000
Matt Damon, just.

551
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:20.000
Trying to get Matt Damon home. It really is amazing

552
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:25.079
because you've got The Odyssey, the Martian, Interstellar, another Christopher

553
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:29.159
Nolan because he was trapped on a planet there. Saving

554
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.320
Private Ryan. Saving Private Ryan was another huge one. And

555
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:37.639
these are all massive movies. Yeah, I mean just I mean,

556
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.920
that's what Hollywood has spent on trying to get him home.

557
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.800
But the box office grosses on getting him home as

558
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:45.719
in the Billions.

559
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:47.719
Oh yeah, oh it's it's been worthwhile.

560
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:50.800
Oh it's really great. Like you want a successful film,

561
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:53.440
you find a way to get Matt Damon home.

562
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.039
Yeah, get him lost and get him back home.

563
00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:02.599
That's right. So it's an amazing formula. Other birthdays today

564
00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:09.079
from Friends, Lisa Kudro is sixty three today. She's Emmy

565
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:12.400
winning actress. Of course, played Phoebe Buffet on Friends. He's

566
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.000
got a new show that I think is now actually ending.

567
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.760
It's on like it's third season or something. Was called

568
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:20.440
the comeback. And keep in mind all the Friends cast,

569
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.679
they still make roughly twenty million dollars a year in royalties.

570
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:26.760
Not so much Matthew Perry. Now, I don't know how

571
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.320
that works on their contracts, if that goes away, or

572
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:31.559
if it somehow goes to his estate or something. I

573
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:34.400
don't know how they've worked all that, but it was

574
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:40.199
good to be on Friends. Laurence Fishburn is sixty five.

575
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:46.000
You talk about another interesting career. I remember when Blackish

576
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:48.519
came out, the television show and it showed Laurence Fishburn

577
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:51.039
is like the dad or grandfather on it, and I

578
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:53.920
was like, why is he doing TV? He don't need

579
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:56.719
to do that. He's like bona fide movie star. But

580
00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.239
he's like, you know what, I got time, I'll do

581
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.440
it well on the real have changed.

582
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:01.360
I mean it used to be if you were a

583
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:04.920
movie star, you dare not do TV, and if you're

584
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.159
a TV star you probably aren't going to get into movies.

585
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:10.679
But I think the thing that shocks me more than

586
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:14.320
anything is Lisa Kudro sixty two and he's sixty five.

587
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.199
I would have thought he was in.

588
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.800
His seventies, much older, like ninety, like had I said

589
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:24.559
Laurence Fishburne was was eighty five instead of sixty five.

590
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:29.480
I think you would have believed it without question, far.

591
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:30.400
More than sixty five.

592
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:35.440
Yeah, yeah, Lawrence Fishburne sixty five, Lucy Lisa Kudro sixty three.

593
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:43.400
I mean, damn, that means he because Boys in the

594
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:46.920
Hood is probably it's getting up close to forty years old,

595
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:47.679
I know, so.

596
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:49.719
He's the dad and Boys in the Hood, he was

597
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.440
like twenty two. Right. On the other hand, maybe that

598
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:56.320
was super accurate for the film, which means I guess, so,

599
00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:58.800
I guess in the in the character arc of the time,

600
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.559
he may have been twenty two playing a character that

601
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:02.280
was thirty.

602
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:09.719
But yeah, yeah, wow, it means he was in his

603
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:15.239
forties in the Matrix. Holy cow, you're now older than

604
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:23.000
he was in The Matrix. Terry Crews is fifty eight,

605
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:27.360
Star of Brooklyn ninety nine. Everybody Hates Chris longtime host

606
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.320
of America's Got Talent and the President and one of

607
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:33.800
the greatest films of all time, and it seems to

608
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.199
prove itself year after continuing year.

609
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:43.599
Idiocracy, Yep, and The Big Movie I'm sorry, The Big

610
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:47.760
Birthday Today, Massive Movie Star bigger than all the ones

611
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:53.639
I've just said combined. Turning seventy nine today, Seven time

612
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:58.920
Mister Olympia former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger is seventy

613
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:03.880
nine today. One of not only Hollywood's greatest stories, but

614
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:09.119
one of America's greatest stories. Young kid nineteen years old

615
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:13.559
comes to America, doesn't even really speak the language, becomes

616
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:16.639
one of the greatest movie stars in history, and he

617
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:21.920
is still held onto that accent, and honestly, he.

618
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.280
Looks great for almost eighty. I just saw him do

619
00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:30.519
an interview within the last couple of months, and had

620
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:33.840
you said he was sixty nine, I would have been like, yeah, okay, yeah.

621
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:37.440
Yeah, dude's almost eighty. He'll be eighty next year. And

622
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.440
he still goes like Venice Beach and works out and

623
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:43.360
stuff goes to show. Like we were saying the other day,

624
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:45.719
use it or lose it, I mean, no, he doesn't

625
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.239
look the same that he did and Predator or anything

626
00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:52.599
like that. Because it is gonna come. That helps. Although

627
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:54.639
I will say this so like old age will come

628
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:57.079
for all of us in different in different ways. Right,

629
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:01.199
if you use it, you won't lose it as severely

630
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:05.119
but you can see there's a decline. Even with Arnold Schwarzenegger,

631
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:07.880
there's gonna there's gonna be some drop off. But I

632
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:13.000
don't think he uses things that say Sylvester Stallone uses

633
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:17.480
still because they're around the same age, and Sylvester Stallone

634
00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:20.039
looks like he could still like if he wanted to,

635
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:24.679
he could pop into a bodybuilding competition and turn some heads.

636
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:29.320
Well, Sylvester Stallone, there's no telling what is implants and

637
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:32.400
and what's not. He has had so much work done

638
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.800
mm hmm. But it is interesting because you can see

639
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:40.480
his transformation throughout his career.

640
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:43.960
Like in Rocky he's kind of soft, but he's still

641
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.000
fit right, and then just in the transformation of his

642
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:49.800
Rocky character, you can see, oh here's where he found

643
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:53.440
stere Really it was right before Rocky three.

644
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:58.320
Well, especially Rocky four where his opponent is all juiced up,

645
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:00.480
but he's doing it naturally.

646
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:04.360
No, Okay, that's not from that's not from that's not

647
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:12.320
from deadlifting logs. Bro those are the Needle Twins.

659
00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:59.800
Before we hit to stupid News of Palooza, I have

660
00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:06.400
to show you this. On Reddit, someone said I always

661
00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:10.920
thought it was just an urban legend and nobody could

662
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:23.239
actually be this disgusting. Eh, barefoot in a movie theater,

663
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:27.920
But not just barefoot in a movie theater, bare feet

664
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:31.840
perched up on the seat back in front of him.

665
00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:38.280
The ultimate question is with a barefoot individual with their

666
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:40.400
feet on the seat back in front of him in

667
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:49.400
a movie theater, do you say something? Yes? What do

668
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:51.800
you say? Whether their feet are covered or not? Get

669
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:52.679
them the hell off the back.

670
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:55.320
You're too close to my head man, put your feet down,

671
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.599
so you think you're.

672
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:02.719
Thinking the same thing I was. Which is the person

673
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:06.039
that took the photo is sitting a few seats to

674
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:11.599
the side of the barefoot person. If I'm the person

675
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.599
taking the photo, I may not say anything because their

676
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:19.599
feet are not on the back of my chair. But

677
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:22.679
if I am sitting in the seat where the bare

678
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:25.559
feet are on the back of my chair, I will

679
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:28.599
absolutely say, get your dirty dogs off the back of

680
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:29.079
my seat.

681
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:33.519
See, I'm just the opposite. I never even thought about

682
00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:37.079
being in the seat in front where that guy's feet

683
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:39.400
are close to my head. I would lose my mind.

684
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:42.320
I would like to think I have hit a point

685
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:44.079
in life where I would bite my tongue and just

686
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:46.400
walk away and change seats because I don't want to

687
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:50.719
look at someone's bare feet. I I don't understand feet

688
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:53.519
fetishes or anything else. I consider I'm generally one of

689
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:59.119
the ugliest parts of the human body. No, oh, if

690
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:03.440
that was if I someone was hell shoes or no shoes.

691
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:07.079
If you've got your feet close to my head, you

692
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:08.679
know that's gonna be a problem.

693
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:14.159
Yeah, absolutely, So as as he's perching feet, you're throwing hands.

694
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:20.320
Again. I would like to think I have reached a

695
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:25.599
point in my life of calmer, peaceful, more enlightened where

696
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:28.679
I am just going to get up and move and

697
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:30.480
and just not let it bother me.

698
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:36.679
Yeah, I doubt it. Look, we can all have goals,

699
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:39.880
but we fall short. And that's where my therapist says,

700
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:44.000
it's okay to give yourself some grace. You're gonna you're

701
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:48.519
gonna make mistakes. It's okay. So you, Trey would say

702
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:50.880
something if you were a couple of seats to the

703
00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:55.840
side of the barefoot guy in the movie Theater, I think.

704
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:57.079
I've reached a point in life where I would just

705
00:43:57.159 --> 00:43:57.760
get up and move.

706
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:06.320
Yeah, I think without necessarily causing too much of an

707
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:10.679
incident or instigating too much. I would stare at it

708
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:12.679
from the side. If I was a person on the side,

709
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:14.559
I would stare at it. I would stare at the feet,

710
00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:16.159
and I'd look at the guy in the face, look

711
00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:17.760
at the guy in the face, stare at his feet

712
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:22.840
and just be like, dude, really, and if he doesn't

713
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.239
do anything, then and then you know what, It doesn't

714
00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.840
necessarily directly affect me because his feet are not on

715
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:35.519
my chair. But again, I go back to if I

716
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.440
feel like, if I'm in the chair and I feel

717
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:43.119
a little push forward, do not put your feet whether

718
00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:46.159
they are covered or otherwise on the back of a

719
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:51.000
chair I am sitting in, especially if I move get

720
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:57.119
them off. But absolutely if they're barefoot, Like, if someone

721
00:44:57.239 --> 00:44:59.400
does that and I look to see and I can

722
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:02.280
see legs perched on the seat, I'm gonna stand up

723
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:04.480
and look down. And if I see bear if I

724
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:07.880
see piggies looking back at me, We're gonna have a problem.

725
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:11.480
We're gonna have a problem. Even if it's just shoes,

726
00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:13.719
I'm just gonna be like, that's not cool, dude.

727
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:18.079
Even even from the angle of that picture, I'm still

728
00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:23.559
I don't care about whether you're you got bare feet

729
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:25.440
or not. It's it's it's having them on the back

730
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:28.760
of the seat. For me, it's and I might I

731
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:32.960
might give them a side eye and a really you know,

732
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:36.639
but ultimately the fights between the two of them, so

733
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:39.440
I'll get my my phone ready in case it escalates.

734
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:42.079
Yeah, and I think you're right. I think at that point,

735
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:45.320
like if someone sits in that seat and that's where

736
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:47.440
it's kind of becomes their thing, I'll give the person

737
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:49.800
some stink eye because of the bear feet in general,

738
00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:53.719
but I may not say anything about it. But yeah,

739
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:57.119
if I'm the person in the chair. Nope, not happening,

740
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:01.239
especially when in seats these days, you probably selected that

741
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:03.159
seat so you paid for it, kind of like an

742
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:06.239
airline and I guess if it's a middle seat, like

743
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:07.960
I paid for it, I want my seat. I don't

744
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.400
want to have to move because you're an inconsiderate asshole.

745
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:16.840
But also, so many of the seats in theaters recline. Now,

746
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:19.320
just recline. Why are you sticking your feet on the

747
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:20.000
back of a chair?

748
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:25.639
Yeah, just keep your fucking shoes on. Period. Mm hmm.

749
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:31.639
All right, let's do some stupid nousa palooza. Gotta blow

750
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:35.199
out here inside the treehouse for the end of the week.

751
00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:41.800
All right, this one has been cracking me up all week.

752
00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:48.840
Millennials are trying to make minivans cool again. That's it.

753
00:46:56.679 --> 00:46:58.039
Oh, I thought this was gonna be some kind of

754
00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:00.639
decoration or mod train or something.

755
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:06.039
Just no, no, I'm going to give a shocking take here.

756
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:13.159
Minivans have gotten a bad rap. Wow. I would never

757
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:16.559
drive I would never drive one, but if I had

758
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:20.119
a family, I totally get it. You got teav I mean,

759
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:24.000
they had more tech in them than cars did for

760
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:26.880
the the longest time. You had screens, You had all

761
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:29.960
the things you need to keep a child's attention on

762
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:32.840
on something and not bothering you of are we there yet?

763
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:37.559
So yeah, I don't know.

764
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:40.719
You can make them look cool, but I I don't

765
00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:41.159
hate them.

766
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:46.519
Millennial parents are changing their minds about the mini van, or,

767
00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:49.400
as some would say, they see me rolling, but maybe

768
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:56.800
they won't be hating. A TikTok video showed off lounge

769
00:47:56.960 --> 00:48:00.760
style chairs with built in ottomans and fourteen inch screens

770
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:04.199
in the back of a Kia Carnival. Another proudly shows

771
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:08.280
off a Toyota Siena, proclaiming eighteen cup holders, but y'all

772
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:13.159
still thirsty, And another mom turned her minivans into a

773
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.280
mobile living room, but not without throwing out the old

774
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:20.599
stuff with an enthusiastic yeat. Mini vans, once the de

775
00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:24.639
facto soccermont vehicle of choice, are making a huge comeback.

776
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:29.320
Long considered a dead segment, minivan sales grew twenty one

777
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:35.679
percent in twenty twenty five, selling almost four hundred thousand units.

778
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:41.239
According to Edmunds, the mini van is back. From a

779
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:47.840
practical standpoint, I get it. Minivans are smaller than the

780
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:51.480
Tahoe than the four door Tahoe. They're smaller than the

781
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:57.000
the suburban, the Ford Expedition, the Jeep, Grand Wagon near

782
00:48:57.079 --> 00:49:00.239
I drove one of those. You can't. It's so hard

783
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:05.679
to park these vehicles. They're no longer SUVs, they're small buses.

784
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:12.360
So the minivan, Oh, that's bullshit, they all no, it's

785
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:17.760
it is because they've been the same size forever. Now

786
00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:19.719
you have cameras and all the other things that makes

787
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:21.280
parking them so much easier.

788
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:24.280
Well, I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm just saying that's

789
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:28.400
a big, big vehicle, and a minivan is more practical

790
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:31.079
because you can usually fit the same number of people

791
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:33.159
in a minivan that you can and say the Grand

792
00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:36.840
Wagoneer or a suburban, especially when you factor in the

793
00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:41.280
cargo space in a suburban and they're a little smaller,

794
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:43.599
get better gas milets. So I get it. From a

795
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.800
practical standpoint, the minivan makes sense. But they've almost they

796
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:50.280
came this close to extinction, they almost stopped making them.

797
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:55.000
And to your point, they are lower to the ground,

798
00:49:55.039 --> 00:49:56.639
so they are easier to get in and out of,

799
00:49:56.800 --> 00:49:59.440
both for kids and if you have elderly parents.

800
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:06.400
But just the fact that they've grown in sales twenty

801
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:10.599
one percent in twenty twenty five. That's amazing to me

802
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:14.559
because there's really only so many brands that even still

803
00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:16.679
make a mini van. And I just mentioned like the

804
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:23.119
Kia Carnival, the Toyota Sienna. I mean I didn't know that. Ah.

805
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:25.360
I think I think they may have stopped making that one,

806
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:26.800
and that now they're like, well, maybe we need to

807
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:29.679
bring it back. Which one the Toyota Sienna.

808
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:32.960
Oh uh, let's say Honda. I don't know if they

809
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:37.800
still make the Odyssey or not. And I also get

810
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:43.440
it because car prices are freaking ridiculous and a tricked

811
00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:48.880
out Tahoe Yukon XL whatever you're looking at eighty plus

812
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:51.960
thousand dollars easy see.

813
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:54.400
I was thinking it was like getting the used mini

814
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:57.440
vans and tricking them out yourself after market.

815
00:50:57.679 --> 00:50:59.280
You know, sure do that too. It's a lot of

816
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.679
sense to me. Hell yeah, go find you a good

817
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:04.920
times van and turn it into a kidmobile. What for you, man?

818
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:07.960
That's what they need to bring back is the old

819
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:12.000
ice to call them the nked lady vans. Dan So

820
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:14.719
had the cool artwork on them, I.

821
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:19.880
Got, I bet you do. Probably I like your version

822
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.039
of it, Tray, because my mom referred to him as

823
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:26.719
shag and wagons. I mean, she wasn't wrong, and it

824
00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:28.760
really threw me off because like my first because like

825
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:31.079
my first car was a four door Blazer, not the

826
00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:32.960
big one like the it was the small S ten

827
00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:35.199
And one time she referred to it, She's like, so

828
00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:37.000
where are you Where are you and your buddy's going

829
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:38.519
in the shag and wagon. I was like, don't you

830
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:41.719
ever say that again. Mom, That's just well, I don't

831
00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:43.559
know if that was a strategy on her part to

832
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:45.480
get me to not want to have sex in that car.

833
00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:48.400
As soon as she referred to it as shag and wagon,

834
00:51:48.519 --> 00:51:49.800
it just nope.

835
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:53.880
No, interesting. She referred to it with you and your buddies.

836
00:51:54.159 --> 00:52:00.360
Also that I know what she was doing. Yeah, I

837
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:02.719
got over it. Don't get me wrong, I got over it.

838
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:05.000
And but yeah, I just didn't like her referring to

839
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:09.960
it in such a fashion. But it is interesting because like,

840
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:12.199
there was a guy I worked with a handful of

841
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:14.079
times when I was working at the Fan. He was

842
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:18.599
a beat writer for the Texas Rangers and he worked

843
00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:20.480
for the morning news for a while ESPN Radio. His

844
00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:23.119
name is Richard Dirrett. It's a great guy, a great

845
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:26.599
family man, very talented man, and I really enjoyed the

846
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:28.840
times I worked with him, one of the and he

847
00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:32.039
died at the age of thirty eight, very suddenly. And

848
00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:35.360
one of the stories that came out about him after

849
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:38.039
the fact was how much of a dedicated family man

850
00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:40.800
he was, specifically when it came to the mini van.

851
00:52:41.880 --> 00:52:44.320
The stories about him were he loved his family, loved

852
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:47.320
his kids so much he couldn't wait to be the

853
00:52:47.480 --> 00:52:51.239
dad driving them around in a mini van. And I thought,

854
00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:54.960
that is such a richerd Dirrett thing, because he was

855
00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:00.360
a good dude, really dorky looking, and him and Evan

856
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:01.639
just perfect.

857
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:04.400
But one of the few people in media that and

858
00:53:04.679 --> 00:53:08.599
I remember I met him one time and new people

859
00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:10.000
that knew him, but one of the few people that

860
00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:12.519
actually you did not hear anything.

861
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.000
Bad about that was a great, great dude. And the

862
00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:17.320
fact that he was like, yeah, I'll drive the minivan.

863
00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:19.079
It's like, of course you would, And you know what

864
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:23.079
own it absolutely where the white new balances, black socks

865
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:27.320
up to the midcalf whatever. But yeah, so when I

866
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:30.159
think minivan, I think of him. But then also when

867
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:31.920
I think of minivans because, like I said, they almost

868
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:36.119
died out like they had. Had there not been this increase,

869
00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:37.960
the industry might have said, what's the point of still

870
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.519
making these things? No one uses them except for like

871
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:45.760
cab drivers and stuff. But let's be honest. I mean,

872
00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:51.000
the suv is the new minivan. The suv is the

873
00:53:51.119 --> 00:53:54.159
new station wagon. There's really not many station wagons around.

874
00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:55.800
You get like the occasional I think it's like the

875
00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:59.199
super ru outback and that's about it. But let's be honest.

876
00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:03.639
All inn suv is is a tall station wagon.

877
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:07.800
Mind you. Now, some of that that's an American thing

878
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:13.079
because like station wagons are popular overseas and they don't

879
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:16.440
understand our love of the suv, but they generally don't

880
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:19.559
have the spaces we do to park and do everything else.

881
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.239
You you almost have to order station wagons. I have

882
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:27.559
a friend that loves station wagons like I'll never understand

883
00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:30.880
his He had a Volvo one and he loved it.

884
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:34.400
That's that's the one I was thinking of. It's got

885
00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:38.480
to be the Volvo, right, yeah, Well, single guy with

886
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.880
a station wagon obsession and the Volvo one specifically, that's

887
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:46.719
it's that is the shag and wagon and he should

888
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:52.440
change the letters from Volvo to Volva because that's his goal.

889
00:54:55.199 --> 00:54:58.079
Sadly, his volvo, his vulva broke, so.

890
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:04.559
You hate it when that happened. Yeah, all right, last

891
00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:06.760
bit here I got to mention this. This is headline only,

892
00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:09.320
because that's all it needs to be. A family is

893
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:13.079
furious after a car dealership sold an elderly blind man

894
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:20.800
a car. Welcome to the new millennium.

895
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:23.639
And car dealers are the same.

896
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:29.840
Oh hopefully it was a minivan. Yeah, all right, for

the highway.

902

And I don't know if you read read the full story,

903
00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:49.719
but the worst part is they try to get to

904
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:51.280
take it back, and they offered him like half what

905
00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:51.920
he paid for it.

906
00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:56.000
Those mothers did they tell him because he's blind, so

907
00:55:56.679 --> 00:55:57.719
he wouldn't know the difference.

908
00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:02.280
Sorry, sir, over it off the lot. It immediately depreciates.

909
