I'm Dan O'Malley along with trade trend home. And you know, this is usually the part of the show where I would tease things that are coming up in the show, but I am so distracted by you trade doing the unthinkable that I'm just skipping all four Maddox and jumping straight into this. What the hell's wrong with you? I mean, that's all right. Do you, You're going to have to be a little more specific.

1:32 Oh, yeah. Fair point. I realize you have been sober now for over 10 years, but do you really think it's a good idea to test that sobriety by operating at a food tent at the State Fair of Texas? Yes. I mean, this feels like a conversation with your sponsor. I feel like before you agree to work a food tent at the State Fair of Texas, your sponsor at AA should have to sign off on that, right?

2:14 Because that just seems like people are going to want to drink after that. Ironically, I ended up in this through a connection in AA. What is this? Is there some weird thing of Alcoholics Anonymous where you've made it so far that they then just test you on purpose? Let's see if we can push them off the wagon. I got approached by the people that... Mutual friends. They have a chicken place. It started in Georgia. Then they had one here. They recently closed it down because the landlord doubled the rent. But it's called Palmer's Hot Chicken. Excellent place. And they operate a food booth at the fair. And...

3:00 approached myself and my friend amy uh who you know very well who's worked with and for me for decades and uh at first when they first approached i was like yeah you know it'd be fun just saturday and sunday why not. Someone approaches you about working a food booth at the state fair of texas on opening weekend and your responses. Throughout the fair throughout the fair Not just opening weekend. And your response is, why not? Again, at the time, it sounded, I don't know why it sounded like fun. You know, I was like, good people watch. And I, opening weekend of the, you know, the fair is one of those things, it gains momentum.

3:50 So it's, it starts off kind of slow and then, but also it was so miserably hot. Especially on Sunday. But it was good people watching, entertaining. You're listing off reasons why I go to the fair, not why I would ever choose to work a food booth. It was one of those, I've never done that. I've known people who did it. It was stupid. Thank you. Thank you for admitting that. If you could admit you're an alcoholic, you can surely admit you were stupid to agree to work a food booth at the state fair.

4:35 I found myself regretting my decision yesterday on Sunday that I was like, what exactly? You know, it really was one of those. What was I thinking at the time that I thought this was a good idea? Yeah. So was the food booth Palmer's hot chicken or was the. Food booth something else? Okay. Palmer's hot chicken. I'm just trying to gauge. How popular of a food booth you were working, right? Like if it's just a, you know, a cotton candy booth, you'll be busy-ish, but not crazy. It's not like you were working one of the finalists or the winner of the Big Tech's Choice Awards this year or previous years that I'm aware of.

5:16 That was, so they actually, they were one of the winners like three years ago for their pancake chicken poppers. Okay, that makes sense. It does sound familiar with the Palmer's chicken pancake. You got it. Okay. And I will have to say I had the winner of the, I believe it was the winner of this year's competition. It was a, or it was one of the finalists, at least. It's like a brisket taco with a mac and cheese shell. Yes. I want to say that actually did win for best savory. I think you're right.

5:57 Not so much. So I can easily see that freshly made for the judges, it's really good. But a cheese shell that has been sitting out or they are producing in mass, the brisket and everything, very savory, but not only the cheese, a little chewy, but also the cheese, it was overwhelmed every other taste, flavor. But, you know, I mean, it was solid, but it was. You can easily see there where there's a difference in what they make for the judges and what actually the product that gets turned out.

6:41 Yeah, I I'm trying to resist the temptation to go down the the state fair food rabbit hole and like the time I judged and stuff. But I want to focus more on the fact of your decision to actually run a food booth at the state fair. So were you running it? Were you managing it? Were you just like taking tickets and you're just cashiering? What was the deal? I mean, uh, serving, uh, taking orders. Huh? Or were you just hanging on for dear life? No, I mean, it's not, uh, I've worked in, you know, kitchens and stuff. So it was, I mean, it's you, you, the chicken sandwiches are, they, they, It's like any place, like kind of fast food. They make some, you know, if someone says, Hey, I want a chicken sandwich. You ask them, you know, no spice, mild, hot. They pick, you grab one, put it in a basket.

7:33 Boom. Some of the other things you need, there's some cooks there that they, like they, they do a dish. It's tater tots with chicken covered in a pimento cheese queso. Okay. So that, that has to be made per order. Okay. But yeah, then other than just pouring beers and, So. It wasn't that bad. It was not that bad. The worst... Really, the worst part, Saturday night... So the State Fair Classic game between Grambling and Prairie View A & M was Saturday night. Grambling One, Prairie View A & M. There were a lot of drunk people at the end of the game. And this one drunk black woman, she had a fit because she tried to order from the guy cooking who is Mexican and does not speak English.

8:47 Okay. And she was highly offended. She's like, what? He doesn't speak English? No. I don't believe that. Lady, I hate to break it to you, but there's lots of things in this world that you may not believe, but that doesn't. Change the fact. Lady, let me ask you, let's, let's, I was like, ma'am, I go, you ask him something. He immediately, he didn't say anything. He looked at me. I stepped in. I don't know what else. What? I don't know what else you want as far as proof. And I understand why you're upset by.

9:27 It, but. It is amazing to me how many people walk around on this planet thinking that they are the center of it all. That any tiny thing is somehow designed to attack them personally. Oh, he's just pretending to not know English to make trouble for me. It's amazing the ego that some people have thinking that those things are, it's like everything bad happens to them. It's only meant to ruin their day. No one else matters. You're doing this to me, blah, blah, blah. Lady, you are not that special.

10:13 You're absolutely correct. It also, it is amazing to me the amount of just the sheer number of fat people. And also, if you have excess fat gut, and this really, I'll have to say this really hits women more, but it's a universal truth. No one wants to see your fat hanging over your waist. Just cover it up. How dare you fat shame? I have no problem fat shaming. I absolutely, if I have one, if I have one bias, the majority of fat people, and we've talked about this many times, are fat by their own choice and their poor choices. It's not genetics. It's not anything else. It's because you eat like crap. And boy, did I see that firsthand. And you don't take care of yourself. And you're actually saying people a little bitch about the cost of their medicines and their diabetes medicine. If you would watch what you eat, you probably wouldn't need it. You are one of the biggest problems of our healthcare system.

11:40 This is true. The healthcare system has many problems, but people eating junk all the time is a big suck on it. Taxing it by your obesity and all the health problems related to your obesity are a big problem. If we could solve that problem, boy, our health system would work so much better. Yeah. Still imperfect, but better. Much better. Much, much better. Oh, God. All right. So I'm glad you survived. And I'm assuming you stayed on the wagon. Yeah. none of it pushed you to drink or anything. So good, good on you.

12:22 No, if, if fat drunk, stupid people were going to push me to drink, I, my sobriety would have lasted less than three months. You are seasoned when it comes to that. Yeah. I mean, two days at the fair was not going to ruin you. Yeah. That's, that is not going to trump years of, of bar experience. Fair enough. Now, Look, had you mentioned to me beforehand, you said, hey, Dan, I'm thinking about doing a food booth at State Fair this weekend. I would have said, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. I don't know if that's a good idea. I would, however, stop short of giving you a purple nurple. Trust me, I'm going someplace with this.

13:10 Same thing as a titty twister? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Purple nurple equals titty twister. Okay. You and I have known each other many, many years. I want you to know that 25 years into our friendship, I will never give you a titty twister slash purple nurple. Why? You don't find me attractive? Trey it's not you it's me it's just in friendship sometimes you share things and you do things for each other and you know you help each other out right uh well uh on a boy's night out one guy reached over and gave his buddy a titty twister and ended up saving his life i.

14:07 Think I'm assuming they weren't in high school, because that's about the last time I can remember doing anything like that. I think the last time someone tried doing that to me was in high school, and they didn't make it past high school. But yes, they're much, much older. When Robert Fleegart, 62, was on a boys' night out in Las Vegas, his friend inadvertently saved his life. Robert says he'd probably say I started it, but my friend reached over to me and gave me a titty twister.

14:48 That's where he pinched my nipple. And it really, really hurt. That's what Robert from Virginia said. He says he tried to ignore the pain, but over the next week, he was still rubbing his chest where it hurt. That's when he felt a lump. The lump in question turned out to be a turn. The lump in question turned out to be breast cancer, which had spread his lymph nodes. Around 420 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK, which accounts for less than 1% of all diagnoses. Men have breast tissue around the nipple area and can develop breast cancer this way, and typically it's known as invasive ductal carcinoma NST. He said the lump was the size of an eraser and it was right next to my nipple. It's kind of weird, but I just blew it off when he says he kind of felt something at one point. Guys don't get breast cancer, so I thought nothing of it. But he said it was playing on my mind. And when I went to get it checked out, I go in and a nurse takes a look, immediately says it's something we need to aggressively research. And things moved really, really quickly.

15:55 So yeah, boys night in Vegas, buddy reaches over and gives his 62-year-old bro a titty twister and it saved his life because he had breast cancer. This is why women get mammograms. They don't typically check each other the way we think or fantasize that they do. And I think it's best that we don't do that either. But in this case, it saved his buddy's life. Well, you're correct. But also, women are also taught to check themselves on a regular basis. Men are not. That's right. Male breast cancer is a thing. You should always cop a feel of yourself every now and then.

16:41 That's right. but it's okay. It's okay to get to second base with yourself. In fact, it's, you know, medically. Approved, but I mean, 60 in your sixties and you're giving each other titty twisters. Thank you. I mean, Siegfried and Roy aren't around anymore. Uh, what, what exactly were we doing. In Vegas? Yeah. The, uh, Yeah, I'm confused. Well, one of them wasn't. I think he was very clear about what he was going for. How, honey, how was the boys trip?

17:28 I got a purple derple. I've never had that kind of relationship with any guy friend. or any friend that was a girl. I've kind of had that relationship with, you know, my romantic significant others, like reach over and tune in Tokyo or something. But I've never once a guy friend of mine been like, you know what Trey needs right now? A titty twister. I've just, that's not been, that was never, you and I have never done that, Trey. And I think it's okay. I think our relationship will be just fine without it.

18:10 Why are you looking at like, well, I don't know, maybe. No, I have no problem with us having some boundaries. And we've seen each other in a lot of odd circumstances. But yeah, never once. I am okay with the boundaries being set that we're not going to give each other titty twisters. That's right. I mean, when we see each other, we'll give each other a good firm hug. but you were not, we're not going. And let's be honest. Once you do it, there is no going back. I mean, now you have asked me to apply the clamps every now and then, which, you know, I just thought was your little fetishes.

18:57 See, that's different. That's not skin on skin. That's just the one buddy. Give it another buddy. That's just Friday. Fry.

22:01 Halsey is 32 today. Musician, singer of Bad at Love, Closer, Without Me. Born Ashley Nicolette Franjapan. Dude, I'm with you. That's a great eyebrow you got going. I don't know if I'm saying that last name correctly. It's F-R-A-N-G-I-P-A-N-E. It looks like Franjipane. I don't know if it's Franjipane. Franjipane. I have no idea. But she goes by Halsey, and she's 32. Oh, you know, good choice on her name wise. Yeah, I know I've heard the word Franjipane. I just don't know what the hell it is.

22:45 Um, but yeah, I think that's one of those names where it's like, yeah, I think I'll just switch it. I'm Halsey. Uh, very talented singer. She's actually, she's, I'm a big fan of her voice. Uh, uh, I love the voice. I think she's really talented. Love a number of her songs. So happy birthday to Halsey. She's 32. Also, if you're in the market for interesting album, uh, art, album art, she's got one on one of her albums. Uh, it pops up sometimes if, I'm listening to Pandora, and one of her songs from a certain album pops up. It's her sitting on a throne with her boobie out. Okay. I mean, there's a kid in the photo I've heard.

23:26 Okay. Other birthdays today. Former NFL great Calvin Johnson, 41. One of two legendary Detroit Lions players that said. You know what? I'm done. I'm done Detroiting. I'm done Detroiting. First was Barry Sanders, who out of nowhere is like, you know what? I'm done Detroiting. And he retired. Calvin Johnson did the same damn thing. It is really amazing to think about. You got two guys who were among the best at their position while they were playing and then just suddenly, shockingly retired. Well, and part of it was, for both of them, that Detroit wouldn't trade them. It was... they really had no other, it was either, you know, basically quit or having to still play for the lions and they chose quitting at both, right. But pretty much, you know, still in, in, at the top of their game.

24:23 Yeah. And I mean, look, Calvin Johnson was a beast. I mean, his nickname was Megatron. This is a guy, I think he came out of, was it wake forest? Um, I mean, it was a Division I school that he went to, but this wasn't Florida. This wasn't Michigan, USC. This wasn't one of. The top flight programs that you hear about freak athletes going to and playing football. No, he played at, oh, Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech. I had the right state, just wrong school. Georgia Tech. Yeah. A school at the time, and up until about two years ago, known for running the wing tee.

25:06 Not exactly a passing offense. Right. And this is a guy that was six foot five, could jump out of a stadium, and was blazing fast. Not just for his size, but for anyone's size, was really fast. It's one of those, you're like, how does this guy only go to Georgia Tech with those freakish abilities? I don't know if he had a growth spurt in college or what, but yeah. Might have been in the conversation for one of the greatest wide receivers of all time had he played a little bit longer. I saw a stupid list on, I think it was TikTok, of 10 players who shouldn't be in the NFL Hall of Fame. And one of them, and you can tell, you can always tell if it's written by a Gen Z person because... One of the people they had on there was Jerry Rice. He said he was just a stat compiler. He was just because of longevity.

26:07 No. And universally, you could not find anyone. It's like there is no one who would ever agree with that. He had a couple. Trey Aikman is always one that comes up. People will say, should he really be in the Hall of Fame? Yes. I understand that argument because of his stats, but he also, he also was, had the greatest running back, you know, or arguably one of the greatest running backs and the all-time leading NFL rushing leader in his backfield. So, you know, he handed the ball off a lot. That's, it is what it is, but he won three super bowls. That's pretty much going to get you in the hall of fame.

26:48 Yeah. Um, and he was still really good at quarterback. So it wasn't like, I mean, uh, as, as, as lifelong Cowboys fans, we know how good Troy was. Yeah. And Troy knows how good Troy is even. Go ahead. I, my point. Yeah. I don't agree with it, but I understand, especially if you didn't see him play and you just look at numbers, why people say question his hall of fame credentials. Sure. But to those of us that did watch him play. Yeah. I mean, I know that week in week out Troy, has got to just drool at the thought of what it would have been like with his physical abilities to play in the modern day NFL where you're just.

27:38 Zipping the ball left and right. I mean, my God, if you put Troy Aikman in Dak's position, easy three Super Bowls because Dak, Dak. Is a good quarterback. He doesn't have near the level of accuracy that Aikman did. I mean, my God. No, that's the other thing people don't understand is, and that's, you know, on their list also was Dan Marino. And just because he didn't have a Super Bowl ring, I was like, you know, he was a Hall of Fame quarterback. He may not have won a Super Bowl, but his arm. But, oh, that's the other thing people don't understand is the NFL, football has changed dramatically. I mean, you go to high school football, they air it out so much more than they ever did I mean, back in the 90s and even in the early 2000s. Yeah, that's... If you don't think Jerry Rice belongs in the Super Bowl, shut up.

28:36 Shut the F up. Yeah, then you don't belong in this conversation. Other birthdays today. Zachary Levi turns 46. Hey, he's my age! He is from Chuck. Also the Shazam movies. He's the voice of Flynn Rider in the Tangled movie. Uh. Was he Shazam? Yes. Okay. He was Shazam. I saw the first one and I thought it was really, really good. It was a really fun movie. They did the second one and I have not seen that. Although I think I heard that that was supposed to be really good as well. I just haven't seen the follow-up to Shazam. I saw the first one and it was good. I did not see the second one. I did go back and watch Infinity War over the weekend.

29:19 I'm in the middle of doing that myself right now. That really is a good movie. So good. Yeah. I'm doing the same thing. I'm doing the same thing. You are rewatching it right before the Avengers Endgame encore in theaters. Yeah, I did not give that movie its. Just as hers. Because, I mean, it's... It is a really, really, really good movie. It might be better than Endgame. Overall, it is. But... Endgame gives us the sparkle circles that I'm looking forward to going back to the theater and seeing the Encore thing. And I've had to, like, zoom past certain things on social media so I don't see some of the Endgame Encore spoiler stuff.

30:12 Oh. Because I'm waiting until, so Tara and I leave Seattle, like, on Wednesday. And then we're flying back to Dallas, right? And so we're waiting until we get to Dallas to see Avengers Endgame so we know we can go to like Alamo Drafthouse and get some good popcorn. Goals. Really, really looking forward to that good popcorn. Let me know when you go, man. Come watch it. Absolutely. I got you. Other birthdays today. Chrissy Metz from This Is Us is also 46. Never watched that show. partly because every promo I'd ever see for it was a bunch of people crying, and I'm like, nah, I'm good.

30:55 You know what? I don't know why. I watched the first couple seasons. It was an excellent show, and I don't know why I quit watching it, but really good show. I did get a kick out of Crockpot Sales took a major hit because it killed their daddy in the show. That's one of the funniest things I have ever heard. Andrew Dice Clay is 69. Who... You know, he now... I think they're still together.

31:36 Dates one of the old salespeople from our CBS radio days. One of the weirdest things in life. Is as a kid growing up watching Andrew Dice Clay specials that I shouldn't be watching at my age, that I should not have been watching at that age. And then becoming an adult and meeting people in a professional environment, including a number of salespeople, including a number of female salespeople. And then one day hearing that one of those female salespeople that you knew and worked with for years. Married Andrew Dice Clay. Yeah. It's one of the most random things in my life.

32:19 And if you could have picked anyone on the face of the earth that that sales lady would marry, he would be the last, one of the last people you would ever have chosen. Absolutely. Abso-freaking-lutely. Life is funny. Yeah, that is a weird one. Bryant Gumbel is 78 today. longtime Today host and host of Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. One of the smuggest SOBs I have ever seen in broadcasting. The man oozes. Just oozes pompousness.

33:03 Yeah, that's... And he. When's the last time he actually did anything? I honestly don't know. I mean, I feel like he was one of those that you're talking about smugness. I feel like he was just an a-hole and the people got tired of him. I think so. What is real sports still airing? I don't think so. Cause I know for a while it was just that, that he was doing. And then maybe like the occasional 60 minutes report. But I don't know if he's done anything at all recently. Yeah.

33:44 I'd forgotten about real sports, but no, I think even that, I think he, I feel like maybe he got a little too political for sports. He may have, and that can bring down a lot of people. And the thing about real sports was, it was a great show. I mean, some of the best journalism, not just sports journalism, but some of the best journalism on TV was real sports. And the worst part of it was, for those reporters. These are award-winning accomplished journalists. Their report would air on real sports with Bryant Gumbel.

34:24 And then after their package airs, then they have to sit in the chair and answer questions from Bryant Gumbel as if it's the teacher questioning your project day work as if somehow he, like you have to answer questions from him. Like, like he's the teacher and you have to justify and show your work. To me, it just seemed, it. Seems like your dissertation. It was like a dissertation where you're, you're giving, you gave it. And then, then you have to, you know, stand, you know, in the line of fire of questions about, you know, questioning your work. Yeah. It was bizarre.

35:04 And of all people to Bryant effing Gumbel, like for some of these journalists, I would be like, why am I, being forced to answer your dumb questions. Yeah. That was, I was thinking about real sports and Brian gum that always threw me for a loop. I was, I can't believe these people are putting up with his smug attitude, asking them questions. The truth of the matter is HBO had to there. I think was it inside the NFL that was on HBO. That was an excellent show. It was really, really good. Yeah. And then, yeah, it real sports. Ian McShane is 84 today. I love me some Ian McShane. This dude is a phenomenal actor. He is from, he is Winston in the John Wick movies. The GM or whatever it is of the Continental. The manager of the Continental. I first was introduced to Ian McShane in a little show on HBO called Deadwood.

36:03 Never saw it. Now, oh my God, Trey, how have you not seen Deadwood? I think that falls into shows that were on during the highlight of my alcoholism. Okay, that is probably true, but... Yes, 2004, 2006. Yeah. Ian McShane in Deadwood throws your favorite word around. Unabashedly. Well, I'll have to watch it. Yeah. I mean, Ian McShane can drop a C-bomb. I had no idea who he was prior to Deadwood.

36:44 And I think he's a British actor, so I don't know if he was in a ton of stuff in the UK. Or whatever before Deadwood, and I'd just never seen it. Deadwood was the first thing I saw him in, and I was like, this dude sets a scene on fire. Really, really good. I'm trying to think. So there was recently a New York Times list of the top 100 TV shows of the 21st century. I saw that. And I'm trying to think what was number one, but I think number two is The Wire, which I still have got to go back and watch. I feel like that is a show that universally everyone says was excellent.

37:25 Number one was Breaking Bad. Oh, I haven't seen that. We had friends in town. We were talking with them and they love Breaking Bad. And I told them how I popped out mid season three they're like what and I was like sorry and I'm well on record with this I got I got real bored of the show because you know he's in there doing chores around the house and I'm like I'm done I'm bored I guess maybe he broke extra bad after that episode I don't know I just I never finished it maybe I should go back. There's just there's such a long list of shows I mean I'm still trying to finish Game of Thrones and then The Wire is probably next on my list of but yeah, uh, that was an interesting list. Uh, there were like almost like, I don't know why I'm surprised that they left shows like, you know, big bang theory that were incredibly popular, but they don't, uh, I mean, arrested development. I think they had in the top 10, which I would totally agree with.

38:36 Yeah. I've found it. Here it is. Um, The 100 best TV shows of the 21st century. Number one, Breaking Bad. Number two, The Wire. Number three, Mad Men. I've seen that. Number four is Succession. Okay. Number five is Fleabag. Number six, Game of Thrones. Number seven is Veep. Did you ever watch Fleabag? I have not. I've heard great things, but I've never seen it. It's an easy watch. Yeah, it was funny. Uh, 30 rock is at number eight curb, your enthusiasm, nine Atlanta at number 10.

39:16 I've tried going back. Larry David is I've tried starting watching curb and I it's, it's tough. I can't do it. I know it's funny. I just, I don't do well. with cringe comedy. I'm the same way. And I also, yeah, he did that special for HBO, like history, whatever. Oh yeah. The history, according to Larry David or something. Yeah, it was, I, I, I did not enjoy that. Gee, Trey, I wonder why. No, it's not.

39:56 It's because it seemed like a massive assault on the right from the left. I, there is. Some of it was okay. It's just all in all. I just, there were a few pieces here and there that were funny. Other than that, like they did one with Seinfeld and it was just, I just didn't like it. I mean, it just, it's not my cup of tea. How about that? Yeah. Yeah. And generally that show got, did not do well as far as reviews go. I mean, there were a lot of people that were like, eh, it. Looked preachy, like real preachy. Um, so yeah, so at the top 100 best TV shows of the 21st century, that was your top 10 breaking bad and the wire, the top two Madman number three. Uh, it is an interesting list. Uh, I will say they, Deadwood is at 24.

40:53 Band of Brothers, 28. I thought that would be higher. It's higher in my heart. I'll tell you that right now. Got it. You want to know what's right behind. Band of Brothers on the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century? It just eked out Key & Peele. Sorry, in my head, it was. Not Key and Peele. What was the show on Nickelodeon? The Burger Kids? Oh. Good Burger or whatever?

41:34 Was that it? Yeah, because it was the other black comedy duo from back in the day. Never mind. Key and Peele is a great show. I was thinking of the other show from Nickelodeon. Yeah, but is it. Is it. Kenan and Kel, that's what I'm thinking of. Yeah, okay. Kenan and Kel, that's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it sounds very similar as well. Yeah, I mean, there's lots of good shows, and I'm happy to say that I've seen a lot of these shows and that my tastes fall in line with some other people's tastes as far as great shows of the 21st century.

42:16 You are right, though. Very few traditional sitcoms made the list. I can't be terribly surprised with it. It's the New York Times. It's going to be an artsy list. I've heard Veep was good. I'll tell you right now, Trey. Veep will give you some of the greatest names to call people that you don't like.

42:59 It really is. It's like a master class in new bad names to call people. And some of the ones that they say, you'll be like, what did they just say? For that, at the very least, just for that, it's really, really worth it. Was Yellowstone on the list? I don't recall seeing Yellowstone. I'm scanning, scanning. Okay. I'm looking, going down, going down, going down. I'm in the 20s. I don't see Yellowstone. Andor is in there at 32. That's some really good writing. Show could be kind of boring, but the writing was really good.

43:41 Louie at 41. That was a really good show. Normal people, Parks and Rec. Good place. Downton Abbey, Strange Things. Chappelle Show. The Handmaid's Tale, No Reservations, The Shield. Yep, I do... The Bear. Nope, I do not see Yellowstone anywhere on there. Is that a bit of a scandal? Because Scandal was the bottom of the list at number 100. And Scandal was a good show. I am shocked. Again, I think that's also... you know, not artsy enough and too commercial, too much commercial success.

44:29 Yes, I would agree. I am surprised. I am surprised they didn't put Schitt's Creek higher. I think it was like 34, 35, something like that. Yep. That's because they had to fold it in, Trey.

45:57 That's a young lady online. How do I tell? Yeah, so the way you say this is a really big part of the story. How do I tell my co-star that he's getting hard during a sex scene versus how do I tell That my co-star is getting hard during a sex scene. Well, the second one's pretty easy to tell. How do I inform my co-star that he's getting hard during a sexual scene? I think it's more of what she's going for there. And she even says here, forgive me if I'm not doing this right. I just made this account to ask the question because I'm genuinely at a loss. I was cast as Veronica Sawyer in the high school rendition of Heathers. My co-star is a boy a year older than me. And he was cast as J.D. For the sake of this, I'm just going to call him J.D. In the show, there is a number where it is implied.

46:53 Our two characters are having sex. Even though it's a high school version, there's still multiple parts in the choreography that are suggestive, as well as a staged kiss at the end of the number. To preface what I'm about to say, acting is acting, and I'm not in any way uncomfortable with sexual movements, kissing, or anything else that happens during this number. With context out of the way, there is a part a little over halfway through the song where I straddle JD and, for lack of a better word, grind down on him while he unbuttons my top. It's during this part that he gets a little too in character. His costume at the time is very thin as well, so it's quite obvious and hard to ignore, especially because of the choreography we're doing. Then she continues by saying, I don't even know if I should bring this up in the first place.

47:45 I'm a lesbian, and I have no idea how a man's body works. If it's something he isn't trying to do, then I don't want to bring it up because he can't really fix that, and it would be unfair to ask him to. On the other hand, it makes. Me less comfortable performing the scene, and worst of all, it's affecting my acting during the number because I'm getting out of character. That's an impressive hard-on if it's pushing your co-star out of character. Uh i mean that that's lesbians take biology right.

48:31 Supposed to okay i mean that. That's high school 101 man it's you gotta you gotta take biology at some point. You know uh that is In general, not something we can help a lot of times, especially if you're grinding and writhing around. That's going to happen. Hey, it means your acting is excellent. That's right. You are in the role. You are portraying the part 100%. And I can assure you he knows. He knows. It's also something we are sometimes painfully aware of.

49:17 Sometimes very painfully aware of. Yes. Yeah. Just be happy he's not running around the stage going, acting! Be happy that you don't have some kind of singing number after with him that he has to stand up. Laughter In the stage world, your movements on stage are known as blocking. It's just going to happen. The thing, young lady, you need to realize is that it's not you, but it's kind of you.

50:04 I'm going to guess she's hot. It's like, yeah, it is. Like he may be trying to treat this as professionally as possible, but. And if it's giving you that, you know, that much pause. Maybe give it a whirl. Maybe he's giving you something to think about. Yeah. Because clearly you were into that role. And he wants to be. Yeah, you get it. Yeah. All right. Last, but certainly not least. One of my favorite headlines of the year so far. And that's saying something.

50:44 What killed the bear lady? Oh, say it. Give him one too many white claws. What killed the bear lady? I have a guess. Oh, man.

51:26 Yeah, I mean... I guess... Is there context here? Is there. You're right. You're right. We are making grand assumptions here, but let me offer some context here. For 28 years, Kay Grayson lived side by side with wild black bears in North Carolina's swampy coastal forests, hand-feeding them, defending them against poachers, and letting them in her home. When she went missing last year, the only thing investigators found were clean-picked bones. This is the world's worst episode of CSI. It's the shortest episode in the history of the show. I'm just going down, just making sure that.

52:41 It wasn't actually something else. You fed them, you let them into your home, and you thought they would just love on you forever. Yeah. The official autopsy is filed as incomplete, probably because there's not a whole lot to go on. The medical examiner refuses to comment, and the local theories abound as to how she died. Is how she lived. Bite the hand that feeds you?

53:22 Uh-huh. Especially if it's using your hand as a toothpick. Yeah. Yes, when you reach that hand out to feed the bears and you don't have enough food in them, and they will just continue on you up your arm. I believe that's a good stopping point for today. We'll go out with don't feed the bears. Thanks for hanging out with us today inside the tree house high above the bears.
