00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.280
It is time to believe your warriors outside and laugh
2
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.840
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
3
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:42.560
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma on fred Day, January thirty first,
4
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.960
two thousand twenty five. Today is a big day. It
5
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.759
is the last day of January, which means it's the
6
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.799
last day of drive January for me. And I gotta
7
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.960
say I've made it.
8
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:01.840
I have made it this far.
9
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.480
I feel a huge amount of accomplishment, a massive amount
10
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.840
of relief, although I must say that the rest of
11
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.079
the world did not cooperate with my dry January, because
12
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.560
the rest of the world seemed to go out of
13
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:19.480
its way to try to make me drink. And I
14
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.480
don't know if there's a story that has made me
15
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.239
want to drink more than the one I saw just
16
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.959
a couple of days ago. Trey, Raj, you guys have
17
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.159
heard the term shot Heard around the World right. According
18
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.280
to my memory banks and the quick Google search I
19
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.920
did before the start of the show, the shot Heard
20
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.519
around the World is in reference to the opening shot
21
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.959
of the Battles of Lexington and Conquered on April nineteenth,
22
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.799
seventeen seventy five, which sparked the American Revolutionary War.
23
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:51.799
Okay, yep.
24
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.480
Another version of the shot Heard round the World is
25
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.319
the assassination of the Arts Duke friends Ferdinand, which kicked
26
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.319
off the First World's War all the way back in
27
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.040
nineteen seven.
28
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.400
Something like that, Yeah, something like that.
29
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.080
Well, there was almost another shot heard around the world,
30
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.560
or in this case, it was more of a well,
31
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:33.919
a fart heard around the world. The United Kingdom's Royal
32
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:40.319
Navy launched a frantic search for Russians off the coast
33
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.400
after picking up not one but two mysterious sounds in
34
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:49.240
the ocean, thinking that they might be Russian drone subs,
35
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:57.080
but after a thorough investigation, they've concluded that the noises
36
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:08.039
probably came from a gassy way. Naval officials feared one
37
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.400
of Russian President Vladimir Putin's drone subs had dropped a
38
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.599
listening device onto the ocean floor between two islands in
39
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.240
Scotland and let rip On an investigation, the two toots
40
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.759
were detected about one hundred miles from where the UK's
41
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.280
doomsday subs are based. One official talked to the media.
42
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.000
He said, we've been analyzing, or in this case, we've
43
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.960
been analyzing the sounds and now believe it was a
44
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:38.639
marine mammal a whale. The sound, first described by analists
45
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.520
as a man made noise, had never before been picked
46
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.960
up on the sensors, leading the Navy to confuse what
47
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.080
they thought they heard. So there you have it. Shots
48
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.479
heard around the world could have been the farts heard
49
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.960
around the world, farts from a whale that nearly set
50
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.280
off an international incident. And keep in mind, I don't
51
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.240
think it's any coincidence that the doomsday clock was just
52
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.759
moved forward to I think it's eighty nine seconds to midnight,
53
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.560
which means eighty nine seconds away from the district the
54
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.800
complete destruction of Earth or mankind, or I don't know,
55
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.519
just a really bad fart away from total annihilation.
56
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.439
I just you would think in this day and age,
57
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.040
there are all these computers and AI that analyze this
58
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.759
stuff and tell you what you're listening to, and yet
59
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.079
nothing could figure out the difference between a sub and
60
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:36.759
a whale fart.
61
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:38.920
Yeah.
62
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.439
I've often wondered about military training because I've never been
63
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:49.040
to the military, But is sonar training so thorough when
64
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.839
you're going to sub school and you're in sonar school
65
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.720
that they play a bunch of different sounds for you, the.
66
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:56.959
Way we did with our.
67
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.839
The old Ronald McDonald's Speaking Spell type toys. Do they
68
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.759
try to fool you in sonar school with various noises
69
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.600
and think, okay, one of these is a sub? The
70
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.079
rest are you know, farm animals or other things?
71
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.000
I mean, Jonesy in the Hunt for Red October he
72
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.160
could pick up stuff, and that was thirty five years ago.
73
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:23.319
But where have we gone wrong?
74
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.839
I think maybe too much reliance on the technology, like
75
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:34.639
you're saying, Because because Jonesy Jonesy in the Hunt for
76
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.120
Red October, he was a master. He was listening intently.
77
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.079
He wasn't dependent upon computer technology or AI to tell
78
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.399
him what may or may not be an enemy's sub.
79
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.319
But I would like to think that if you're listening
80
00:05:48.360 --> 00:06:01.319
so intently in a sub and you hear and you here,
81
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:08.240
then maybe just perhaps it's oh maybe it is putin.
82
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:13.720
I'm nearly one laughter.
83
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.279
Oh God forbid an orca kweefs and then we're going
84
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:18.600
to war.
85
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.560

three three Cook DFW the website, cookdfw dot com. We
91
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.439
got a recent reminder, Daniel that storm season is no
92
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.319
longer one season out of four. It is year round
93
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.360
in North Texas and a severe storm can pop up anytime,
94
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.600
and that means at any moment you may have some
95
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:12.560
roof damage.
96
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:18.240
Yeah, Dan, we stopped being you know, springtime storms years ago,
97
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.879
and so now and I try to educate everybody that
98
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.480
you shouldn't protect your roof from the storms. You should
99
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.199
protect your roof because it's the thing that you need
100
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.600
to do. Where we live. We've all made a conscious
101
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.120
decision about leott living here in Texas and exactly the
102
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:37.720
DFW metroplex. We have strong storms, but we also have
103
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.199
extreme temperatures, we have extreme winds, we have all kinds
104
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.360
of things that our homes take a beating on. So
105
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.879
you really need to protect your roof year round because
106
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.120
it's the right thing to do for your home. And
107
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.560
so it's really easy. You call us out, we come out,
108
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.279
We inspect your roof. If you don't need anything, we
109
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.680
high five each other. We say see you next year.
110
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.439
If you do, we take some pictures, we take some measurements.
111
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.680
We show you what your home needs. It may not
112
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.879
be a whole roof, It may be just with small
113
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.279
repairs that will extend your roof life. But when you
114
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.079
let small things go on your home, they always turn
115
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.399
into larger and that's where it goes down here really fast.
116
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.519
So all you have to do give us a shout.
117
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.560
We'll come out. We'll give you an honest opinion about it,
118
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:19.879
and then you can make a decision.
119
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.680
Love that about you, guys. No pressure. Decision is yours.
120
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:26.040

January thirty first, two thousand five.
135
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:20.320
We are headed into the weekend.
136
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.440
I don't know if you guys have any major weekend plans,
137
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.759
but in case something exciting to do, I have some
138
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.919
options for you if you feel like dying on your
139
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:34.559
next trip. There are dangerous tourist attractions around the world,
140
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.200
a lot of which we've already covered quite a bit
141
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.960
here inside the Treehouse, one of which, obviously is Mount
142
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.799
Everest in Nepal. We know that one's really really dangerous.
143
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.480
More than three hundred people have died on Everest since
144
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.240
records began in nineteen twenty two. That means there's possibly
145
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.240
even more people that died up there. We didn't know
146
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.399
about it because it's kind of like Sacks in the NFL.
147
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.279
We didn't always track it, so we just know it's
148
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.440
over three one hundreds since nineteen twenty two.
149
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.039
I think generally they say one out of every four
150
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.960
people who attempts to summit Everest, it's gonna bite it.
151
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:11.399
Mm hmm.
152
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:16.480
That doesn't sell that doesn't That doesn't sell me on it,
153
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.559
That doesn't make me want to go do that. But
154
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.399
there is something called extreme tourism. This is where travelers
155
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.600
engage in high risk activities in dangers and remote locations,
156
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:31.440
and the business is booming. Extreme tourism is projected to
157
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.120
reach a value of ninety one billion dollars by the
158
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:38.480
year twenty thirty. And these experiences are something that baby
159
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:46.559
boomers in particular are looking for. So Mount Everest is
160
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.320
one of six of the world's most dangerous tourist attractions.
161
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.120
You want to hear what the other ones are?
162
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.919
Sure tell me where white people are going on vacation.
163
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:08.559
Welcome to whitey travel. So Mount Everest, that's number one.
164
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:15.279
Other ones the Dino Killed Desert in Ethiopia. This is
165
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:19.240
one of the hottest places on Earth. Temperatures regularly reach
166
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.639
fifty degrees celsius. And since I'm American, I have no
167
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.799
idea how hot that is. I think it's like one
168
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.320
hundred and ninety or something.
169
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:29.159
Oh, it's halfway to boiling.
170
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.559
That's true. That is halfway to boiling. So there's that.
171
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.080
But that is so desert in Ethiopia one of the
172
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:45.240
most dangerous places in Earth. After Mount Everest, you've got
173
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:51.559
unbearable temperature, volcanic landscape, lava lakes, sulfur springs, and volatile geysers.
174
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.440
These all mean putting a foot in the wrong place
175
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.759
could kill you. Sounds like fun, sounds like a nice
176
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.960
couples sounds like a nice couple's retreat.
177
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.759
Right, Yeah, yeah, what a blast.
178
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:08.480
You're looking to accidentally uncouple. I swear to god it
179
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:09.600
was an accident. Officer.
180
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.320
I will say this if if there's a continent in
181
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.720
which case you want to make a murder seem like
182
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.120
an accident, just take a nice couple's trip to Africa.
183
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.840
I think that's a way to go.
184
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.120
After that desert in Ethiopia, then you get to Death Valley, California.
185
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.480
Death Valley, California is the hottest place on Earth, with
186
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.440
a place called Furnace Creek that holds the record for
187
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.720
the highest air temperature ever at one hundred and thirty
188
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.200
four degrees fahrenheit, which thankfully they've included here. The celsius
189
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.919
equivalent is fifty six point seven degrees.
190
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.200
Yeah, yeah, fifty degrees celsius is one twenty two fahrenheit.
191
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:54.799
By the way, sorry, I was so so that I
192
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.480
was so astounded by those numbers, I couldn't even hit
193
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:02.080
the right button. That those temperatures, I ain't going there.
194
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.320
The deadly heat has claimed the lives of travelers who
195
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.799
venture off the roads, but car accidents are actually the
196
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:12.080
most common hazard because the terrain is so difficult to navigate.
197
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.039
So don't go to Death Valley, at least not without
198
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.840
a bunch of friends. That's three places so far on
199
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:22.039
the most dangerous places to vacation on Earth. Then there's
200
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.000
the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in the Ukraine, or just in Ukraine,
201
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.399
as if you know, the war with Russia isn't bad enough,
202
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.279
they got that as well. Thirty one people died after
203
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.639
the reactor at Chernobyl blew up.
204
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.159
Many more, I'm sorry how much? How many did they say?
205
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:45.840
Thirty one died after the reactor and Chernobyl exploded? What
206
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.840
I think they mean immediately after, right that at the
207
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.360
when it that moment?
208
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.720
Yeah, yeah, right, in that moment, But many more died
209
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.039
in the months and years after it.
210
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.600
Which, by the way, if y'all have not watched Chernobyl,
211
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.360
it was a kind of a five part special on HBO,
212
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:09.799
kind of a mini series fantastic and very well documented.
213
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.720
Like they they stuck to the facts pretty well.
214
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:13.919
Interesting.
215
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.799
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone one of the most dangerous tourist
216
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.919
attractions on Earth. I can't wait to see what the
217
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:25.840
tour guide pamphlet looks.
218
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.840
Like and will be for another you know, twenty thousand years.
219
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:34.799
Guaranteed, guaranteed excitement for the whole family. That's the That's
220
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.240
the tourist attraction that just keeps on given. And is
221
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.799
it that's not scary enough? I think I've found the
222
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.759
place that I absolutely definitely would not ever want to go.
223
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:49.720
Snake Island, Brazil Noop. One hundred and six acre island
224
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.240
off the coast of Brazil is home to thousands of
225
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.799
golden lancehead vipers, one of the world's most venomous snakes.
226
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.279
Snake Island is the only place in the world where
227
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.919
this particular species is found, and it is claimed that
228
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.840
there is one snake for every square meter of land.
229
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:16.279
That mm hm, why why why would you want to go?
230
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:17.360
It?
231
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:21.600
Just just the name Snake Island? No, thank you?
232
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:22.840
Well.
233
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.000
In the early nineteen hundreds, a few humans did live
234
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.240
there on Snake Island. Their job was to run the
235
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.480
lighthouse but legend has it they were killed by snakes
236
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:45.200
and the lighthouse has since been automated. Rumor has it.
237
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.600
So let me get this straight. You you're on an island,
238
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:55.039
and your job on this island that is covered in
239
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.799
deadly snakes is to turn on the lights.
240
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:03.279
No, I don't think so.
241
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.440
Yeah, somebody pissed somebody off really bad.
242
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:11.480
Yeah.
243
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.120
So yeah, these are the places you can go to
