So coming up on today's end of week banger. How did I think of it earlier when I was brushing my teeth? Oh a news of palooza. Stupid news of palooza. That's where we will clean out the files from this week of the things we didn't get a chance to get to previously during the week. So stupid news of Palooza today coming up inside the tree House. Plus would you say something about the barefoot man in the movie Theater? Also Trey's Big pile of Nope.

1:40 And I think it's very important that we start today with some very compelling audio slash video and that stems from former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's arrest in Wisconsin for ow I. There is so much to learn when it comes to this case, the first of which is teaching everyone what OWI means, because it's really hard to keep up with these different initials in different states and municipalities for what things are like. It used to just be well, actually, if I'm being honest, there didn't even used to be a driving while intoxicated or drunk driving.

2:20 It was just you know, will you make it home and then occasionally the officer might help you. Then they started, you know, implementing laws and things, and then they started arresting you for it. Well, I remember it was it was originally DWI, then it really turned into DUI. Yep, it's kind of a fascinating transformation of the letters. It's like, I don't really know. I know why a couple of them just because they try to differentiate between like drugs and alcohol or whatever. So I guess this ow I is just an extension of that. But then I guess also because the vehicles people were using weren't necessarily driving.

3:09 Well would my guess would be especially I believe that was in Wisconsin. Is they needed something broader base other than just a motor vehicle. Uh you know. I mean we've see all seen the stories from tractors to riding lawnmowers and horses. So I think that's why they they had to move away from the d in d w Y too, oh, which is just operating. You're doing something while intoxicated. Therefore we need to pull you over, get you off the streets because you you are a danger to society.

3:50 I think in the future it'll just be question mark WI. And will somehow be able to pull in. I identify as and maybe even pronouns in the middle of operating machinery while intoxicated. Well, I'm I'm driving a truck, but I identify it as a lamba, and my pronoun is he, and they have a pronoun of they for the lama. So let's just integrate all of it together. I think, you know a little more simpler and just say I identify a sober. Yes, that's it, that's the one. Yeah, I identify as sober and you can't question it. Yeah, now, let me go, officer.

4:41 That actually might be an interesting test of the legal system. So last Thursday, July twenty third, at approximately five point thirty in the afternoon, on an I forty three high rise bridge in Milwaukee, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was pulled over for erratic driving and then was later arrested and booked on suspicion of o WI operating wild intoxicated. And let's be honest, let's give let's give our boy Tony Romo credit. He managed to wait until retirement to get his first mug shot. Most Cowboys players knock that out in their first season. Yeah, so you know, he held off pretty good. So good on Tony also, and look, when I first saw the story break, I think I saw the same thing that everyone else did, and that was Tony's mugshot, which, honest to God, may be one of the douchiest mugshots I have ever seen. It's like he went out of his way to channel early two thousands Tony when he was still wearing Affliction shirt. And I know that to be the fact. I know that to be the case because I met him on a few occasions. The first time I met him, he was wearing a white Affliction shirt. But I feel like this smile and the mugshot that he's doing where it's like the slightly pursed and curled lips, that's not a natural smile.

6:14 I feel like that's something that you have to practice in the mirror to attain because my mouth doesn't make that shape normally. I have to try to do it, and even then I'm not good at it. He can bam right there full. Douche, or he's just stoned to the Jesus. I'm glad you bring that up because the bodycam video of his arrest and investigation on the side of the interstate in Wisconsin was released, and I would like you to take I would like you to watch a little bit of it, and then we can analyze what we think about Romo's state of mind during this traffic stuff.

7:00 Uh same pulled this up here and here from our our buddy old pals at TMZ Sports. All right, where are you coming from the golf course? Okay, okay, I'll take the driver's. License from you. You got it? What's your name? Deputy Corps. One? I passed the gore, which is the place you're talking about. You're saying I went over the white line? All right? So there's there's all this the initial information. We get an idea of what he looks like, what he sounds like.

7:41 He's asking her her name, which is good charm school one O one, you know, like, hey, so what's your name? Not in the necessarily like hitting on way, but just like, hey, let's get to know each other a little bit here, because obviously she knows his because it's on his license, and he's also quite famous. But uh. We also get the information as the reason why he was stopped because the officer says that he had drifted over the white line, i e. Driving radically used that as the probable cause to pull him over and then try to ascertain if whether or not he was under the influence. Initial thoughts, Trey, Initial thoughts, you spent the day at the golf course. Chances are you've been drinking. It's funny you mentioned that because she's up the same mindset.

8:27 What's a good phone number for you? Oh? Darn yeah, Jerry, I'm sorry you're not getting Romo's number in this. Das. All right, what's your dad for the same last name? Yeah, so I got to say. Okay, all right, thanks, time for me? All right? So she goes back to her squad. Then she and then the video edits, and now she's coming back to his driver's window. All right, how many drinks have you appen. You're coming? He said zero? If you couldn't quite hear that, just a proper answer. What's that tray?

9:11 That is the proper answer. Don't ever, don't ever think that you're gonna get off if you just go, oh, I've had you know, one or two? Because that opens you have just given them probable. Cause exactly, so you have been drinking. Here's the thing. You say one or two, what doesn't matter. You've just admitted to drinking. It doesn't matter if you think your BAC is below the legal limit. But as soon as you tell the officer, yes, I've been drinking, the amount doesn't matter because now they know there's alcohol in your system, and they want to find out how much. Uh, and she does mention here about how she hits him on the golf course thing here, right, okay, all right, thanks tight for me?

9:55 All right, how many drinks have you app coming from a golf cart? I'm played golf in Wisconsin state owns. You're trying to tell me you played golf today and you didn't drink. Look, I'm trying to be objectionable here, but I totally get where the officers coming from because I don't know anyone except for Trey who plays golf sober. And the only reason Trey does is because he now does everything sober. Yeah, if there was one time, if I could, if I could pick a time to drink, it would probably be playing golf. And it's honest to God, honest to God, the fact that you've you've now been sober ten years and you play golf. I mean that is I mean props to you and your willpower, because I mean, if there's ever a spot where you might, you know, fall off the wagon or the golf cart, it's going to be playing golf.

10:53 And especially if you've been playing in a golf tournament. That that's almost generally a free for all. I've helped out with a number of those, including one for the Dallas Cowboys. Mmmm. It's well, it's very it's very wet. It's uh. Yeah, shotguns start and sometimes they start shotgunning beers. Yeah, so he said, so okay, So I didn't hear that the first time I listened to it. So he gave the name of the golf tournament. He says, it's a USGA event, therefore it's more of an official thing, so no drinking involved. This isn't This isn't like Golden Tea in real life, where you're wearing funny hats and shotgunning things and and you're hitting on the cart girls.

11:44 He says. It's USGA. They kind of frown on, you know, the drinking, unless maybe you're John Daily and you've got it just hidden in your back. You're coming from a golf court. I'm playing golf in Scott's have stayed after. Okay, So it's like a. Okay, all right, I'm gonna run you use the fields. Are you willing to take an I'm sorry, yes, you're today to step out of the vehicle. Okay, step out of the vehicle.

12:29 This is a very crucial moment in the video, extremely crucial. This is the moment where the stop could turn electric. Uh, and it's look, this is really important to note. Uh. This is where Hollywood has lied to us, and it's important in some instances that I think Hollywood start correcting a few of these, especially when it comes to your constitutional rights versus what fits in conveniently in a you know, police or law procedural. There's no such thing as call. You get one phone call when you get to jail. That's not a thing. You can get calls you don't.

13:10 There's no such thing as calling your lawyer in this situation. Everything you're supposed to do is follow the officers instructions and if you don't, then other things can happen. Well, if you haven't been mirandized yet, you have, like that's all out the window. And like you said, and God knows, there are a number of these videos out on social media, especially with the sovereign citizens. They don't have to negotiate with you if they would tell you, and especially in this situation, if they say you want to do a field sobriety test, it's a yes or no, Yes, get out and do it. No, get out and put your hands behind your. Back, or I'll come in and get you. And it's always been that way. I mean Everett used to going back years ago before before they had mandatory you know, they could get a warm for your blood and everything else. The running thing was if you get pulled over and it comes to the situation at a certain point, just get out of the car, step to rear, put your hands behind your back. You're going to jail.

14:12 Don't blow, don't do the fields of briety test, don't do it all. Call your attorney. Deal with it there, right, because odds are, as soon as the officer pulls you over, because the officer suspects you of being intoxicated, you're going to jail. I can't think of any occasion where an officer genuinely suspected someone and then let them go. Oh I can, God knows what happened to me a number of times. Okay, poor example. I also know of another time when they know someone was completely effed up and effed up their vehicle and nothing happened. Right, So, yes, it does happen.

15:04 Let me backtrack a little bit. For those that don't have friends in law enforcement, they are not letting you go. Especially and what happened to me that was twenty five years ago. Today, No, they especially with body cams and everything else. If they suspect you of DUI, chances are you are going to jail. Right. And here's the reason why it's important to bring that up is because then the lawyer thing where he wants to call his lawyer and ask is am I supposed to do this or not? I get from the citizen point, you want to be like, oh, I want to check my rights. I shouldn't have to do this. I know I'm not drunk, or trying to convince them I'm not drunk. Public safety has superseded your self interest or your constitutional what you see as your constitutional rights.

15:53 The officer truly believes you're a danger to society. They're not going to let you call your lawyer and then drive away. The beauty of it is, if you are sober, ultimately you will be vindicated, whether it be by the field sobriety test or by your B a C coming back below the legal limit. Yep, let's go back. To the tape. The sobriety test. The vehicle.

16:36 So now he's still rifling through his phone trying to find his attorney, which, by the way, is still a good indicator. He's having a hard time finding it, which means he doesn't call the attorney very much. Again, very unlike most Cowboys players former and current. Is he saying I'm not allowed to Yeah, he's asking. He's like, so, I'm not allowed to call my lawyer. And that's why I brought up the Hollywood thing. Everyone assumes that you're allowed to call your lawyer whatever, and it's just you're not. You're the officer's job is to get you off the street because they think you're a danger to everyone and they're not going to just let you do whatever you want. And when when you're with the Cowboys, you don't need to call the attorney. They just you call one person and they fix everything for you. Uh huh, unless you're unless you're dead, then you have a dedicated person.

17:24 That's right. Oh man, oh dead? Miss those days. Back to the video, I'll take an additional time seventeen. Not stepping out of the vehicle. So here she's she just called dispatch and said, I need another I need backup on this because I may have to, you know, put this man in irons, I'll do it. I'm just saying that I'm not out of that. And you know what, again, I give I give I give rum credit there he's he's gotten clear instructions. I give the officer credit. She gave them clear, gave him clear instructions. Back he's like, okay, I'll get out of the vehicle. I get it. Not allowed to got it it?

18:41 Did? I forget to add it? Back? My bad. Here we go. So here he's just getting out of the vehicle, seat belt off. So you're gonna step in front of my son in my vehicle, all right? So that that's the end of the video that teams Sports has makes his way back to her vehicle. She says, for backup, you don't need to hurry. He's out of the vehicle now and he's going to do some tests. So, now that you've seen the entirety of what we've seen so far, what is your assessment on our boy Tony?

19:32 I mean, not hammered, but I'm gonna go with you know, he definitely had a few beers on the course. What about you, Jerry? You think you think he's you think you think he drink and drive. Jesus I'm drinking coffee, and I saw like, I sound more drunk than he does. He is definitely off, but definitely. It's interesting because while I was watching and I was like, I mean, I don't see him every day. I don't see him when he's not, you know, commentating on football games. He seems okay, seems really tired, yep, And I see what he means. He's like, I was at a USGA amateur event. There's not drinking during that, okay, but there's also the nineteenth hole.

20:21 You're telling me. Yeah, Now, the police department, I don't know if it was a police department or a deputies, but they said that they pulled him over for erradic lane weaving. He said he had zero drinks. He declined a preliminary breath test as to call his lawyer before and this is according to a couple of news outlets, before performing poorly on field sobriety tests. So we don't I haven't seen what happened in the field sobriety tests. But this is where I go back to what we've been told for years by attorneys and police officers, and I feel I think we should disclaim this by saying do not take what we say as your own personal legal advice. We are not lawyers. You contact your lawyer and contact and expert. That being said, from what we've been told, don't even bother doing the tests. All that is is evidence gathering against you. Don't do it.

21:27 Unless you're sober. Unless you are unless you are sober. And even then maybe maybe not because I mean, like chances are you're you're going to jail unless you know for a fact you are stone cold sober and you can do all those tests without any question. I wouldn't even recommend it. You're just killing time. You're like, you're going to go to jail, so you just get it over with. It's like you said, go to the back of go to where they tell you follow the directions and just say I'm not going to do it. Only different I believe. Now if you refre use, you get an automatic license suspension. In most states, that would be be where it'd be really smart to ask an attorney to see if that's the case.

22:10 Or you know, and it's easy for me to say now as I'm almost ten years sober, don't drink and drive. Here is that. I hate it when you're right hey Man. Ten years sober, I still will go out on occasion and drink, and I don't I know better than to do that. So it is one of the greatest miracles of life that I got through twenty five years of alcoholism with nearly a DWI. I got arrested for one, pulled over for one. Actually got pulled over because I didn't have a front license plate. And honestly, of the thousands of times I could have been busted, it was the one night where I really wasn't. Only reason he hauled me in was because I'd been out at the Indie race the night before and there was an empty beer can in the back of my car. And but my intox video was perfect. I refused to blow in talks from video was perfect. Even the officer on the stand everyone got asked him, how would you grade that? He was like, well, B minus C plus he guess, really, where's the mistake?

23:24 Fine and A minus? Damn Everett get in that ass. That's because I hadn't seen it. You know, we went to try and seen anything. And then Everett Everett comes out of the room where you know they meet with the DA right before the trial and kind of look over everything, and he came out smiling. He goes, you're good. He's done enough of those cases. He knows, he knows where this case is going to land. Right. So yeah, Everett ever Newton or old pal, the Rock and Roll attorney retired now, right, So he did so well at defending you and so many others. He's like, I'm good now. And he also doesn't drink, so he's never had one either, as far as I know. And again, I hate that you're right, but I also am with you that there there have been there have been times where I was like, oh, I should not have made that home. Mm hmmm hm, Well the other wrinkled to this.

24:23 I just want to mention this quickly. Uh. Someone had reached out to CBS Sports to see if Romo's arrest for ow I would affect his employment, and they're like, no, really, all the things that former players and coaches have done and are currently doing, an ow i've uh an ow I arrest in Milwaukee where Romo is polite, maybe maybe you know, intoxicated, but he's not belligerent. He's he's not dropping in bombs, he's not punching anybody. He's not sleeping with somebody else's wife. He's not murdering anybody.

25:06 CBS Sports is like, please, he's fine. If anything, it just makes him cooler. Well, but CBS Sports also has a history. They're great, possibly their greatest play by play man, Pat summer All was hammered in the booth for years, both football and golf. I mean it was known that he and Ken Venturrey doing golf would polish a fifth a day. So they don't have their history, and they're like, yeah, you know what, maybe that'll make him a little better. Here, I have a cocktail, you know what. Honestly, maybe that's the reason why Romo decided to go with CBS Sports, because he's like, hey, that's the party channel. Yeah, let's get Daniel Cook from cook DFW Roofing and Restoration in the tree House for your free roof inspection and property review called eight three three cook d f W today to get that scheduled eight three to three COOKEDFW.

It's not just about shingles absolutely. Dan. A lot of homeowners underestimate the amount of attic heat build up that their home has, affects their AC system, affects their roof condition, long term, affects just overall their home. And so when we come out we make that assessment with the homeowner, We try to educate them, make sure they have the proper ventilation. There is a calculation of this. We walk them around if they're interested in going around, we show them what their intakes look like, what their exhaust system looks like, and try to make the best fit for their home. So that's a very common thing that we do, and it should be done every time you have construction done at your property. You need to be educated on what's happening and why.

Today is Thursday, July thirtieth, twenty twenty six. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Also quick note, I can't believe it's almost August. Today is a really fun birthday day. So let's start with Delta Burke. She is seventy today. She is best known for playing Suzanne sugar Baker on one of the all time great sitcoms, Yeah I Said It, Designing Women, an outstanding cast that included Delta Burke, Annie Potts, the two other Ladies and a goddamn legend and me, Shock.

28:41 Taylor and Gerald McRaney. Wasn't he on there? Yeah? I think he was because at the time Jerald McCraney and Delta Burke were married. I thought they met on Designing Women. Maybe they did. Yeah, and then he went on to have one of my favorite sitcoms as a kid, major dad who knew who knew? The Marines could be still funny. And Designing Women was a good show. I never was glued to it. I wasn't gled to it, but I lived with my grandmother and I watched a lot of what she watched. So yeah, that's why I'm very familiar with Angela Lansbury and and Matt Locke.

29:24 Same. But uh, yeah, and that's. Interesting, you said, because The Golden Girls was a great show. But it has remained it Sometimes people it's just it's a secret, like a blank on what there's a name for that. But uh, guilty, guilty, guilty, pleasure. Yeah, I wonder if Designing Women has that same feels, that same void. I'm not to go back and watch a few episodes. I do remember it being really funny. Oh it was such a great show. And and again, there are certain shows and actors and actresses I watched as a kid, not because I sought them out, but because I lived with my grandmother and I watched a lot of what she watched, Like Designing Woman. You mentioned Golden Girls. I'm not a Golden Girl's retread viewer like so many people are today where they're like, oh, look at this old show I found. No, I was a first run Golden Girls. Bro Me and my grandmother watching Golden Girls and Love and Ruth and Blanche and all of it. So yet Designing Women, Golden Girls, first run Matt Locke in the heat of the night, anything with Angela, anything with Angela Lansbury Murder, she wrote, absolutely Sunday Night, glued to the TV Dallas, Mm hmmm, Dynasty, Yeah, Not's Landing. Yeah, but yeah, I mean Designing Women was a really fun

30:55 show that I would not have watched had it not been for my grandmother. So yeah, And then like we mentioned that led us into Delta Burke married to Gerald McCraney. Jerald McCraney in Major Dad Other Birthdays today, you know how Earlier in the week we dissected the Karate Kid movies one, two, three, and four. Hillary Swank is fifty two today. Another example as to the reason why we do birthdays. We'll bring up something just completely randomly, and then it'll pop in later on the week it's that person's birthday, and here we are. She's a two time Academy Award winner despite dispite Karate Kid four.

31:41 Yeah, that really is impressive because, yeah, typically a Karate Kid four is gotta hang around your neck like a anchor. I mean, it really is. When you think about Hollywood careers and how impressive it is that some actors were talented enough or were fortunate enough to be and roles despite some of their earlier works, it's fascinating. Hillary Swank is one of those. Ben Affleck, to me, is kind of one of those because I still remember him in the After School Special where he's the high school guy taking steroids. Does does Ben Affleck reach the same stardom if it's not for a movie that he and they am and wrote in Goodwill Hunting?

32:33 Maybe not. And since Tara and I just rewatched Goodwill Hunting, we went back and looked at sort of like what they had done before that movie, and it's not like those guys were struggling that hard because the way my memory worked was I thought that they had had next to nothing, and that's the reason why they had written Goodwill Hunting and then that catapulted each of their careers. But even before Goodwill Hunting, Matt Damon was in school Ties opposite Brendan Fraser. Ben Affleck had already been in Maul Rats, I believe, Chasing Amy. I can't remember if that was right before or right after Goodwill Hunting, but that was gonna happen regardless of the Goodwill Hunting thing, because they were already buddies with Kevin Smith. Kevin Smith was in fact an executive producer on Goodwill Hunting. So would they have had the same career, I don't know, but they would have each had some type of a career.

33:33 I remember more Ben Affleck than I do Matt Damon as being a b role player, not the main star, but in a lot of movies. Yeah, Goodwill Hunting definitely served as a sling shot for Matt Damon, absolutely, And it was interesting seeing him in Goodwill Hunting all the way back in nineteen ninety eight, and that was coming off of having just seen him in the Odyssey, you know, thirty years later, it's like, man, you talk about a solid career. Have you seen the meme going around of like Hollywood has spent six hundred and fifty million dollars saving that Matt Damon, just.

34:17 Trying to get Matt Damon home. It really is amazing because you've got The Odyssey, the Martian, Interstellar, another Christopher Nolan because he was trapped on a planet there. Saving Private Ryan. Saving Private Ryan was another huge one. And these are all massive movies. Yeah, I mean just I mean, that's what Hollywood has spent on trying to get him home. But the box office grosses on getting him home as in the Billions. Oh yeah, oh it's it's been worthwhile. Oh it's really great. Like you want a successful film, you find a way to get Matt Damon home. Yeah, get him lost and get him back home. That's right. So it's an amazing formula. Other birthdays today from Friends, Lisa Kudro is sixty three today. She's Emmy winning actress. Of course, played Phoebe Buffet on Friends. He's got a new show that I think is now actually ending.

35:15 It's on like it's third season or something. Was called the comeback. And keep in mind all the Friends cast, they still make roughly twenty million dollars a year in royalties. Not so much Matthew Perry. Now, I don't know how that works on their contracts, if that goes away, or if it somehow goes to his estate or something. I don't know how they've worked all that, but it was good to be on Friends. Laurence Fishburn is sixty five. You talk about another interesting career. I remember when Blackish came out, the television show and it showed Laurence Fishburn is like the dad or grandfather on it, and I was like, why is he doing TV? He don't need to do that. He's like bona fide movie star. But he's like, you know what, I got time, I'll do it well on the real have changed.

36:00 I mean it used to be if you were a movie star, you dare not do TV, and if you're a TV star you probably aren't going to get into movies. But I think the thing that shocks me more than anything is Lisa Kudro sixty two and he's sixty five. I would have thought he was in. His seventies, much older, like ninety, like had I said Laurence Fishburne was was eighty five instead of sixty five. I think you would have believed it without question, far. More than sixty five. Yeah, yeah, Lawrence Fishburne sixty five, Lucy Lisa Kudro sixty three. I mean, damn, that means he because Boys in the Hood is probably it's getting up close to forty years old, I know, so.

36:47 He's the dad and Boys in the Hood, he was like twenty two. Right. On the other hand, maybe that was super accurate for the film, which means I guess, so, I guess in the in the character arc of the time, he may have been twenty two playing a character that was thirty. But yeah, yeah, wow, it means he was in his forties in the Matrix. Holy cow, you're now older than he was in The Matrix. Terry Crews is fifty eight, Star of Brooklyn ninety nine. Everybody Hates Chris longtime host of America's Got Talent and the President and one of the greatest films of all time, and it seems to prove itself year after continuing year.

37:36 Idiocracy, Yep, and The Big Movie I'm sorry, The Big Birthday Today, Massive Movie Star bigger than all the ones I've just said combined. Turning seventy nine today, Seven time Mister Olympia former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger is seventy nine today. One of not only Hollywood's greatest stories, but one of America's greatest stories. Young kid nineteen years old comes to America, doesn't even really speak the language, becomes one of the greatest movie stars in history, and he is still held onto that accent, and honestly, he.

38:22 Looks great for almost eighty. I just saw him do an interview within the last couple of months, and had you said he was sixty nine, I would have been like, yeah, okay, yeah. Yeah, dude's almost eighty. He'll be eighty next year. And he still goes like Venice Beach and works out and stuff goes to show. Like we were saying the other day, use it or lose it, I mean, no, he doesn't look the same that he did and Predator or anything like that. Because it is gonna come. That helps. Although I will say this so like old age will come for all of us in different in different ways. Right, if you use it, you won't lose it as severely but you can see there's a decline. Even with Arnold Schwarzenegger, there's gonna there's gonna be some drop off. But I don't think he uses things that say Sylvester Stallone uses still because they're around the same age, and Sylvester Stallone looks like he could still like if he wanted to, he could pop into a bodybuilding competition and turn some heads.

39:25 Well, Sylvester Stallone, there's no telling what is implants and and what's not. He has had so much work done mm hmm. But it is interesting because you can see his transformation throughout his career. Like in Rocky he's kind of soft, but he's still fit right, and then just in the transformation of his Rocky character, you can see, oh here's where he found stere Really it was right before Rocky three. Well, especially Rocky four where his opponent is all juiced up, but he's doing it naturally. No, Okay, that's not from that's not from that's not from deadlifting logs. Bro those are the Needle Twins.

Before we hit to stupid News of Palooza, I have to show you this. On Reddit, someone said I always thought it was just an urban legend and nobody could actually be this disgusting. Eh, barefoot in a movie theater, But not just barefoot in a movie theater, bare feet perched up on the seat back in front of him.

41:33 The ultimate question is with a barefoot individual with their feet on the seat back in front of him in a movie theater, do you say something? Yes? What do you say? Whether their feet are covered or not? Get them the hell off the back. You're too close to my head man, put your feet down, so you think you're. Thinking the same thing I was. Which is the person that took the photo is sitting a few seats to the side of the barefoot person. If I'm the person taking the photo, I may not say anything because their feet are not on the back of my chair. But if I am sitting in the seat where the bare feet are on the back of my chair, I will absolutely say, get your dirty dogs off the back of my seat.

42:31 See, I'm just the opposite. I never even thought about being in the seat in front where that guy's feet are close to my head. I would lose my mind. I would like to think I have hit a point in life where I would bite my tongue and just walk away and change seats because I don't want to look at someone's bare feet. I I don't understand feet fetishes or anything else. I consider I'm generally one of the ugliest parts of the human body. No, oh, if that was if I someone was hell shoes or no shoes. If you've got your feet close to my head, you know that's gonna be a problem. Yeah, absolutely, So as as he's perching feet, you're throwing hands.

43:17 Again. I would like to think I have reached a point in my life of calmer, peaceful, more enlightened where I am just going to get up and move and and just not let it bother me. Yeah, I doubt it. Look, we can all have goals, but we fall short. And that's where my therapist says, it's okay to give yourself some grace. You're gonna you're gonna make mistakes. It's okay. So you, Trey would say something if you were a couple of seats to the side of the barefoot guy in the movie Theater, I think. I've reached a point in life where I would just get up and move.

43:58 Yeah, I think without necessarily causing too much of an incident or instigating too much. I would stare at it from the side. If I was a person on the side, I would stare at it. I would stare at the feet, and I'd look at the guy in the face, look at the guy in the face, stare at his feet and just be like, dude, really, and if he doesn't do anything, then and then you know what, It doesn't necessarily directly affect me because his feet are not on my chair. But again, I go back to if I feel like, if I'm in the chair and I feel a little push forward, do not put your feet whether they are covered or otherwise on the back of a chair I am sitting in, especially if I move get them off. But absolutely if they're barefoot, Like, if someone does that and I look to see and I can see legs perched on the seat, I'm gonna stand up and look down. And if I see bear if I see piggies looking back at me, We're gonna have a problem.

45:09 We're gonna have a problem. Even if it's just shoes, I'm just gonna be like, that's not cool, dude. Even even from the angle of that picture, I'm still I don't care about whether you're you got bare feet or not. It's it's it's having them on the back of the seat. For me, it's and I might I might give them a side eye and a really you know, but ultimately the fights between the two of them, so I'll get my my phone ready in case it escalates. Yeah, and I think you're right. I think at that point, like if someone sits in that seat and that's where it's kind of becomes their thing, I'll give the person some stink eye because of the bear feet in general, but I may not say anything about it. But yeah, if I'm the person in the chair. Nope, not happening, especially when in seats these days, you probably selected that seat so you paid for it, kind of like an airline and I guess if it's a middle seat, like I paid for it, I want my seat. I don't want to have to move because you're an inconsiderate asshole.

46:13 But also, so many of the seats in theaters recline. Now, just recline. Why are you sticking your feet on the back of a chair? Yeah, just keep your fucking shoes on. Period. Mm hmm. All right, let's do some stupid nousa palooza. Gotta blow out here inside the treehouse for the end of the week. All right, this one has been cracking me up all week. Millennials are trying to make minivans cool again. That's it.

46:56 Oh, I thought this was gonna be some kind of decoration or mod train or something. Just no, no, I'm going to give a shocking take here. Minivans have gotten a bad rap. Wow. I would never drive I would never drive one, but if I had a family, I totally get it. You got teav I mean, they had more tech in them than cars did for the the longest time. You had screens, You had all the things you need to keep a child's attention on on something and not bothering you of are we there yet? So yeah, I don't know.

47:37 You can make them look cool, but I I don't hate them. Millennial parents are changing their minds about the mini van, or, as some would say, they see me rolling, but maybe they won't be hating. A TikTok video showed off lounge style chairs with built in ottomans and fourteen inch screens in the back of a Kia Carnival. Another proudly shows off a Toyota Siena, proclaiming eighteen cup holders, but y'all still thirsty, And another mom turned her minivans into a mobile living room, but not without throwing out the old stuff with an enthusiastic yeat. Mini vans, once the de facto soccermont vehicle of choice, are making a huge comeback.

48:25 Long considered a dead segment, minivan sales grew twenty one percent in twenty twenty five, selling almost four hundred thousand units. According to Edmunds, the mini van is back. From a practical standpoint, I get it. Minivans are smaller than the Tahoe than the four door Tahoe. They're smaller than the the suburban, the Ford Expedition, the Jeep, Grand Wagon near I drove one of those. You can't. It's so hard to park these vehicles. They're no longer SUVs, they're small buses.

49:06 So the minivan, Oh, that's bullshit, they all no, it's it is because they've been the same size forever. Now you have cameras and all the other things that makes parking them so much easier. Well, I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm just saying that's a big, big vehicle, and a minivan is more practical because you can usually fit the same number of people in a minivan that you can and say the Grand Wagoneer or a suburban, especially when you factor in the cargo space in a suburban and they're a little smaller, get better gas milets. So I get it. From a practical standpoint, the minivan makes sense. But they've almost they came this close to extinction, they almost stopped making them.

49:51 And to your point, they are lower to the ground, so they are easier to get in and out of, both for kids and if you have elderly parents. But just the fact that they've grown in sales twenty one percent in twenty twenty five. That's amazing to me because there's really only so many brands that even still make a mini van. And I just mentioned like the Kia Carnival, the Toyota Sienna. I mean I didn't know that. Ah. I think I think they may have stopped making that one, and that now they're like, well, maybe we need to bring it back. Which one the Toyota Sienna. Oh uh, let's say Honda. I don't know if they still make the Odyssey or not. And I also get it because car prices are freaking ridiculous and a tricked out Tahoe Yukon XL whatever you're looking at eighty plus thousand dollars easy see.

50:52 I was thinking it was like getting the used mini vans and tricking them out yourself after market. You know, sure do that too. It's a lot of sense to me. Hell yeah, go find you a good times van and turn it into a kidmobile. What for you, man? That's what they need to bring back is the old ice to call them the nked lady vans. Dan So had the cool artwork on them, I. Got, I bet you do. Probably I like your version of it, Tray, because my mom referred to him as shag and wagons. I mean, she wasn't wrong, and it really threw me off because like my first because like my first car was a four door Blazer, not the big one like the it was the small S ten And one time she referred to it, She's like, so where are you Where are you and your buddy's going in the shag and wagon. I was like, don't you ever say that again. Mom, That's just well, I don't know if that was a strategy on her part to get me to not want to have sex in that car.

51:46 As soon as she referred to it as shag and wagon, it just nope. No, interesting. She referred to it with you and your buddies. Also that I know what she was doing. Yeah, I got over it. Don't get me wrong, I got over it. And but yeah, I just didn't like her referring to it in such a fashion. But it is interesting because like, there was a guy I worked with a handful of times when I was working at the Fan. He was a beat writer for the Texas Rangers and he worked for the morning news for a while ESPN Radio. His name is Richard Dirrett. It's a great guy, a great family man, very talented man, and I really enjoyed the times I worked with him, one of the and he died at the age of thirty eight, very suddenly. And one of the stories that came out about him after the fact was how much of a dedicated family man he was, specifically when it came to the mini van.

52:41 The stories about him were he loved his family, loved his kids so much he couldn't wait to be the dad driving them around in a mini van. And I thought, that is such a richerd Dirrett thing, because he was a good dude, really dorky looking, and him and Evan just perfect. But one of the few people in media that and I remember I met him one time and new people that knew him, but one of the few people that actually you did not hear anything. Bad about that was a great, great dude. And the fact that he was like, yeah, I'll drive the minivan. It's like, of course you would, And you know what own it absolutely where the white new balances, black socks up to the midcalf whatever. But yeah, so when I think minivan, I think of him. But then also when I think of minivans because, like I said, they almost died out like they had. Had there not been this increase, the industry might have said, what's the point of still making these things? No one uses them except for like cab drivers and stuff. But let's be honest. I mean, the suv is the new minivan. The suv is the new station wagon. There's really not many station wagons around.

53:54 You get like the occasional I think it's like the super ru outback and that's about it. But let's be honest. All inn suv is is a tall station wagon. Mind you. Now, some of that that's an American thing because like station wagons are popular overseas and they don't understand our love of the suv, but they generally don't have the spaces we do to park and do everything else. You you almost have to order station wagons. I have a friend that loves station wagons like I'll never understand his He had a Volvo one and he loved it. That's that's the one I was thinking of. It's got to be the Volvo, right, yeah, Well, single guy with a station wagon obsession and the Volvo one specifically, that's it's that is the shag and wagon and he should change the letters from Volvo to Volva because that's his goal.

54:55 Sadly, his volvo, his vulva broke, so. You hate it when that happened. Yeah, all right, last bit here I got to mention this. This is headline only, because that's all it needs to be. A family is furious after a car dealership sold an elderly blind man a car. Welcome to the new millennium. And car dealers are the same. Oh hopefully it was a minivan. Yeah, all right, for all things Treehouse, hit Treehouse on air dot com and again, if you love this one, hit that share button from your favorite listening platform, Send it to a friend, Send it to an elderly blind relative who is driving down the highway.

55:44 And I don't know if you read read the full story, but the worst part is they try to get to take it back, and they offered him like half what he paid for it. Those mothers did they tell him because he's blind, so he wouldn't know the difference. Sorry, sir, over it off the lot. It immediately depreciates. Oh man, what a bunch of picks.
