00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:31.399
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.399
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with
3
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:44.640
Trade Trenholm, Raj Sharma, and Jerry Caldwell on a Friday,
4
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.640
November fifteenth, twenty twenty four. Happy Friday to everybody. Happy
5
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.960
Friday to you, Dan, Thank you, Drey appreciate that. I
6
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.600
think this may be one of my new favorite games
7
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.920
to play inside the tree house because I'm kind of
8
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.600
like a kitten. I like any new shiny object to
9
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.000
distract me from everything, which, if we're being honest, that's
10
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.560
kind of what we are here inside the treehouse. We
11
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:17.359
are the distracting, shining, funny object in front of your.
12
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.319
Face, aren't Aren't you more like a new puppy.
13
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.400
We're not talking about that right now.
14
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:28.480
Trey, what'd you what's your name? Him?
15
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:29.200
Uh?
16
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:35.799
Nothing, have no idea.
17
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:43.120
I'm still in in in mid. Uh No, I'm in mid.
18
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.000
I'm in mid putting foot down. It's it's somewhere between
19
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:48.959
knee and the and the ground.
20
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.079
So you're basically standing there like Captain Morgan.
21
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.079
There has been a lot of drinking.
22
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:59.200
Is now one of my new favorite things to do
23
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.280
here in side the Treehouse is one of our new games,
24
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.200
one of our new features. It's a little game that
25
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.560
we stole from Ripley because they don't at least be
26
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.879
doing much of it lately, and that is Believe It
27
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.280
or Not. So I'd like to start our epic Friday
28
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:18.039
show inside the Treehouse with a new version of Believe
29
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:25.120
It or Not Inside the Treehouse. So I'm going to
30
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.439
read today a headline to you three gentlemen, and you
31
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.800
have to tell me whether or not you believe it?
32
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:37.280
All right, So here we go on a Friday edition of.
33
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.680
That's a professional hitting the post right there, and.
34
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.919
I kind of stepped on it a little bit, which
35
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.960
in radio terms is known as crashing, which is ironic
36
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.120
because this Believe it or Not story is from Spirit Airlines.
37
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.159
All right, So here we go believe it or Not
38
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.039
for today, Friday, November fifteenth, twenty twenty four.
39
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:02.759
Believe it or not.
40
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:09.400
Spirit Airlines hopes that furlowing three hundred and thirty pilots
41
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:10.719
will clear.
42
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.080
A path to profitability.
43
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.680
Spirit Airlines hopes furlwing three hundred thirty pilots will clear
44
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:23.840
a path to profitability. Do you believe it or not?
45
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:25.080
Trey?
46
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:25.439
Yes?
47
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:25.719
Or no?
48
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.680
It sounds just as absurd enough for Spirit Airlines. I'm
49
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:31.840
gonna go yes, I believe it.
50
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:33.639
Raj what say you?
51
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.840
I've flown them enough to know that this has gotta
52
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:38.680
be a true story.
53
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.439
And Jerry, do you believe it or not?
54
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.319
I'm with the absurdity argument. I believe it.
55
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.039
Congratulations, you are all correct in today's version of believe
56
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.800
it or not? It is, in fact a true story.
57
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.280
Spirit Airlines hopes that furlowing three hundred and thirty pilots
58
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.719
is going to clear a path the profitability.
59
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.840
Look, I'm no mba.
60
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.520
I I've only owned a business for a short amount
61
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:13.599
of time. But a business strategy focusing on not doing
62
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.839
any business, it's certainly a strategy.
63
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:18.319
On less.
64
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:25.360
Spirit Airlines plans on having a pay to fly the
65
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.639
plane yourself feature. I don't see how furloughing pilots is
66
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.680
going to help you stay in business at all, because
67
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.000
if you're not flying, you're not making any money. My
68
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.480
wrong on that trey. You're you're you're kind of a
69
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.800
business guy in here.
70
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.360
On face value, Yes, I am sure this has something
71
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:49.319
to do with older pilots and seniority, and it's cheaper
72
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.399
to write them off and furlough them than.
73
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.959
Like and it basically probably higher younger ones.
74
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.959
I can't believe they have three hundred and thirty superfluous pilot.
75
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.560
Yeah, I mean it really does. Spirit, That really really
76
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.800
does make you think.
77
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.519
Boy, how depressing is not to get laid off by Spirit?
78
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.199
What does that do for your morale as a pilot? Like,
79
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.800
I'm not even good enough for them? Yeah.
80
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.879
I think at that point you start going back and
81
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.759
rewatching the original top gun and thinking, well, you know,
82
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.959
plying a cargo plane full of Rubbert dog crap out
83
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.160
of Hong Kong sounds pretty good.
84
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:33.879
Right about now.
85
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.800
But Spirit A Spirit Airlines announced that it will furlough
86
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.439
three hundred and thirty pilots at the end of January
87
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.319
next year. The Canary yellow branded carrier has been in
88
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.879
a coal mine even before a federal judge shot down
89
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.800
a three point eight billion dollar merger with Jet Blue
90
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.720
in March. Spirit failed to report a profit in five
91
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.560
of the last six quarters. The ultra low cost carrier
92
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:03.680
is reportedly exploring a merger with its initial bidder, Frontier Airlines.
93
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.360
So not only a Spirit Airlines furloughing pilots to try
94
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:13.240
to save money they're also basically doing the the corporate
95
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:20.639
version of panhandling, asking for someone to merge with them.
96
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.439
And of all of all airlines, it's Frontier.
97
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:26.920
More Jet Blue.
98
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:33.160
I mean, oh, well, what's the going price? Like, how
99
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.560
is Frontier? But like you know what, let's we'll see
100
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:37.439
if we can sell some more chips and maybe we
101
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:37.959
can buy you.
102
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.959
Well, we're gonna go around everybody, see what the change
103
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.480
they got in their pockets. Maybe we can.
104
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.879
Yeah, it's the only airline with a gofund me.
105
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.000
It's like and you thought, you're like, you know how
106
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.360
firefighters do to fill the boot campaign.
107
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.160
Fill the cockpit.
108
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.560
Now it's not Spirit now Now all Spirit Airlines flights
109
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.480
are coin opad.
110
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:12.120
On the way out, you gotta tip your pilot. There
111
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:13.199
you go, buddy.
112
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.560
Oh by the way, good news, bad news for you
113
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.680
furloughed pilots. The good news is we're gonna bring you back.
114
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.439
The bad news is what sized dog you wear.
115
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.519

151
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:33.440
pretty good at catching the puns or the clever wordplay
152
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.360
in news articles, but I missed this one.
153
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:35.879
Uh.
154
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.039
In the story about the Spirit Airlines furlowing its pilots
155
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.919
and raj you asked about how much is it really
156
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.960
how much does it really cost, you know to buy
157
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.000
Spirit from the news story. I even read it and
158
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:52.399
I didn't catch it, but Jerry pointed it out. Spirit Airlines,
159
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:59.759
UH has been in trouble. Spirit Airlines had a federal
160
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.879
jo shoot down a three point eight billion dollar merger
161
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.840
with Jet Blue Airways in March, and Jerry you pointed out,
162
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.120
you like, it seems pretty deliberate to use, you know,
163
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:10.879
shoot down in the article.
164
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.840
A judicial ground to air missile.
165
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.639
Yeah, that's something Jerry could call out if I said it.
166
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:24.600
There's the eye shows up happens. You know how that works.
167
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:26.519
I got your idea.
168
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.000
Yeah, your beach vacation is vastly different than our beach vacation.
169
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.919
It's all inclusive, I can promise you.
170
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.840
Yeah, but it's not taking you.
171
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:46.639
Oh man uh And especially with the shootdown thing. I
172
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.360
mean I even saw in the news is just just recently.
173
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.639
It's as long as you're not flying over Haiti, I
174
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.879
don't think that'll be too big of a problem.
175
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.639
That is. I just saw that Spearit Airlines got shot at.
176
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.000
I'm like, I don't know if it was Spirit, but
177
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.440
I mean the FAA grounded air traffic or just said
178
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.519
you're not flying in and out of Haiti for like
179
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.639
thirty days because there were three separate incidents of planes
180
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.360
being shot at by people on the ground.
181
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.840
No Spirit Airlines was one of them. Like that's what
182
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.840
I'm trying to say. It's like, how how much worse
183
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:16.960
can your flight get.
184
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:19.120
On?
185
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.120
You're already on Spirit?
186
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.440
Yeah, you're already on Spirit. If you didn't bump up
187
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.159
to the comfy or the big chair, then you're just
188
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.559
in a plastic seat. You paid eight dollars for water
189
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.399
in Pringles, and now you're getting shot at by Haitians like.
190
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.200
You're flying into a war zone.
191
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.279
If you would like to buy the seat upgrade in
192
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.320
the bulletproof protected fuselage portion of the Spirit aircraft that's going,
193
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.200
you know you can do that, but it's gonna cost you.
194
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.039
So I mean, look, crime, crime, crime is a problem everywhere,
195
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.759
it's certainly a problem in Haiti. But I have also
196
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.279
noticed something about myself, and that is, I'm pretty sure
197
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:04.279
I've been watching too many crime shows lately. And if
198
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:08.399
you're worried, if you are watching too many crime shows,
199
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.360
then I think I can help you out because I
200
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.159
have been watching too many crime shows.
201
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.679
And how do I know this? To tell you?
202
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.000
As my wife and I were leaving home depot the
203
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.399
other day, I got in the car to turn it
204
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.120
on while she returned the shopping cart right and after
205
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.120
about fifteen or twenty seconds, she wasn't back yet. So
206
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.440
I started to get worried. And I got so worried
207
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.600
I started thinking, oh my god, what if she got kidnapped?
208
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.919
So I gotut of the cart. I'm looking around and
209
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.120
eventually I see her, but Why did I have such
210
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.759
a huge scary reaction. Well, we had just finished watching
211
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:44.399
a documentary about Lacy Peterson, and we had also just
212
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:49.360
recently watched a show about Amber Hagerman's story which inspired
213
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.240
the Amber Alert program. And like I said, I saw
214
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.720
my wife after about fifteen or twenty seconds after I
215
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.039
got out of the car. It just turned out that
216
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.279
she went to go get it back of popcorn by
217
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.080
the front door at home depot, or she returned the cart.
218
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.159
So that's one sign is after less than thirty seconds,
219
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.480
you think your significant other has been you know, kidnapped,
220
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.159
that they're signed Number one, you've been watching too many
221
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.440
crime shows. Another one for me is I keep driving
222
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.480
by this blue barrel on the side of the road,
223
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.519
and I wonder if there's a body in there decomposing,
224
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.960
because we watched the Jeffrey Dahmer Show on Netflix, and
225
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.440
I can't look at a blue barrel the same anymore.
226
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.200
Okay, So that's that's two signs.
227
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.919
Then there's a third sign, and this one, I believe
228
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.000
is the ultimate way to know you've been watching too
229
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.639
many crime shows is out of the blue.
230
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.879
My wife asked me what I would do if she disappeared.
231
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:44.440
Hmmm interesting, Oh.
232
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.159
Do you have a game plan in place already?
233
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:51.440
Yes, I do do, and it's called look forward.
234
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.159
Luckily for me, I actually had a good answer to this,
235
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.200
because this isn't something I think about regularly. Is Hey,
236
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.000
what am I going to do if if my wife disappears? Well,
237
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.440
I'm gona look for all.
238
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.240
Right, there you go. So when she asked me, what
239
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.039
are you gonna do? What would you do if I disappeared?
240
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.240
And this was right after we had finished watching a
241
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.960
Lacy Peterson Scott Peterson documentary thing, and I and he
242
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.879
did everything wrong, everything you should not do, is what
243
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.679
he did in the aftermath of his wife disappearing and
