Weiner in the Bush | Friday April 4, 2025

There's a lot going on in Texas this week: Cock fighting in Hunt County, senate bills in Austin, and and a dude with Meth nestled between his butt cheeks at the border. But in Australia... there was a weiner in the bush.

00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.719
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh

2
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.439
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with

3
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:40.200
Trey Trenholm and Jerry Caldwell. Today is Fred Day, April fourth,

4
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.039
twenty twenty five. Congratulations, you have made it to the

5
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:52.600
end of the week. I'm happy about that. However, there

6
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.560
is something looming here inside the treehouse that we need

7
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.799
to discuss. And take a deep breath because this is

8
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:14.480
going to be very difficult for me. Trey, Jerry, do

9
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.920
you know the most dangerous county in Texas for a broadcaster?

10
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:24.519
It's Hunt County, northeast of Dallas. Hunt County is the

11
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.799
most dangerous county in Texas for a broadcaster. Not because

12
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:33.079
of crime or anything actually dangerous. It's because it's impossible

13
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.680
to say Hunt County so many times that you don't

14
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.599
accidentally switch the C in County to replace the H

15
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:49.959
in Hunt. Think about what that switcheroo might do when

16
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.439
it said out loud. Look, just saying that sentence out

17
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.879
loud finds me on the precipice of disaster because it's

18
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.239
a major FCC infraction to say that word on the

19
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.560
public airwaves. Trey uses it all the time in his

20
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.080
personal life, but even he knows not to say it

21
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.560
on the air. Now, knowing all of that, this may

22
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.439
be the most challenging read of my entire career. Are

23
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:16.879
you ready?

24
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.680
Oh yeah, here we go.

25
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.360
Twenty one people were arrested at an active cockfight in

26
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.560
Hunt County. I say again, for the sake of sensationalism,

27
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.199
that twenty one people were arrested at a cockfight in

28
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:40.639
Hunt County. I did it. I didn't say the word yes. Ah. Now,

29
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.400
keep in mind, I'll probably say it some other time

30
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.439
in here. I have done that, by the way, I've

31
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.360
done that at least twice on two different stations. I

32
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.960
did it once on k l L. I was trying

33
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.400
to remember the call. I was trying to remember the

34
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.759
call letters because they changed so many times. I didn't

35
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.400
want k l L I Live one oh five three,

36
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.039
which was CBS Radio at the time. I believe it

37
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.280
was during a weather report and there was sort of

38
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.520
that was at the Eagle. Oh okay, oh, you're right. Yes,

39
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.599
this time, I'm even giving a weather warning and I

40
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.639
called Hunt County County that was a weather alert.

41
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.680
And we didn't pick it, and none of us picked

42
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:25.039
it up.

43
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.080
That's how natural it sounds. Yeah, I mean it really does.

44
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.280
When you say Hunt County and you just say it

45
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.439
repeatedly in a very relaxed setting, like the treehouse is.

46
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.400
On occasion, it's gonna you're gonna slip up and it's

47
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:43.800
gonna be County. So yeah, the weather alert at the Eagle,

48
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.080
that was when I accidentally called Hunt County. The other thing?

49
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.400
What was it then? When we were at CBS Radio

50
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.120
at Live one O five three? Do you remember that

51
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:55.639
screw up?

52
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:55.719
Like?

53
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.120
How did I get that switched up?

54
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.639
Just? I think it was just a story with Hunt

55
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:04.680
County in it.

56
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.919
Okay, Well, I go back to my original point, which

57
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.199
is there has never been a more dangerous news article

58
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:16.160
to share on the radio than twenty one people arrested

59
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.120
at a cock fight in Hunt County. Every time I

60
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.920
say it, I could feel it bubbling up inside of me.

61
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:27.959
Or you're aware of it. The harder it is, too, right?

62
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:33.399
Oh way, wait, way harder, Thank you, Jim. There's two

63
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:39.519
hard seas in that sentence. And I know I know you, Trey.

64
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.040
You sent that story on purpose to me, not because

65
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.240
of its newsworthiness, but because you wanted to see if

66
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.800
I would screw up and not call it Hunt County.

67
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.120
I of you're absolutely correct.

68
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:54.079
I know you.

69
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.279
I've known you for twenty years. I know I know

70
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.199
what your motives are.

71
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.480
Just the cock fighting in Hunt County.

72
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.519
See, even you're doing it right there. The only thing

73
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.000
you can do to try to avoid it is to

74
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:14.560
overenunciate the letters that you're trying not to switch, because

75
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:20.360
you're trying not to switch the CU in County in

76
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.560
front of the hunt of Hunt. In order to do that,

77
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.920
you've got to over emphossize those sounds. So you have

78
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.759
to say I almost said I almost said it right there.

79
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.360
You have to say Hunt County. You can't just say

80
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.000
Hunt County because then you're like that. That's where the

81
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.279
slip up occurs. If you get too relaxed that H

82
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.000
and the C will switch and you've said something very

83
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.959
very bad. Now, keep in mind the podcast version of

84
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.040
this show. You can say that all day. It doesn't matter,

85
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.600
but we try to radio at it the entirety of

86
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.519
the show so we don't have to go back and

87
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.680
bleep unnecessarily. I would just like to pat myself on

88
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.120
the back here by saying it has been six minutes

89
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.920
and I have said Hunt County numerous times. I have

90
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.000
said twenty one people arrested at a cockfight in Hunt

91
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.879
County numerous times, and I have yet to screw it up.

92
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:21.839
Yay me.

93
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.720
If I accomplish nothing else today, I will have not

94
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:32.319
said the bad word version of Hunt County. And I

95
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.680
also made my bed. So look at me go here

96
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.800
you go, gold stars all around. Can't hold me down?

97
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.680
Thank you, Jared, Yes we do. That is something the

98
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.120
Treehouse is missing. We need a gold star chart in here.

99
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.639
And I'm first.

100
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.319

126
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.759
He is Trede Trendholm. That is Jerry Caldwell and today

127
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:53.720
is Friday, April fourth, twenty twenty five. It is a

128
00:08:53.840 --> 00:09:00.679
Texas Legislature year. They only convene every two years, but

129
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.600
it always feels like they're making news. But when they convene,

130
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.240
that's when the news really starts hitting All the things

131
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.039
that they're working on in an attempt to make the

132
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:14.919
state of Texas a better place for us all unless

133
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.639
you're poor. Because apparently being poor isn't punishment enough. So

134
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.759
the Texas Senate has already passed a bill that would

135
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:26.799
ban food stamp recipients from buying things like soda chips

136
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:31.039
and candy. Now, I would like to point out that

137
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.480
years ago I was on board with this kind of

138
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.080
a thing. It's like, no, I shouldn't. I shouldn't have

139
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.279
to pay for that type of stuff with my tax dollars.

140
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.799
But as I've gotten older, I've gotten a little more empathetic.

141
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.360
But let me give you a little more insight into this.

142
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.000
The Texas Senate passed a bill that would ban snap

143
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.279
food recipients from buying things like soda chips and candy.

144
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:58.840
The bill now heads to the Texas House for consideration. Now,

145
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.559
there are two side to this story. One side is

146
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.240
I don't feel like my tax dollars should be spent

147
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.480
on someone buying soda chips and candy. That's not necessary

148
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.320
to live. They shouldn't. My money shouldn't go towards that.

149
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:20.120
The other side of that would be, well, I'm poor,

150
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.519
am I not allowed to have something that tastes good. Trey,

151
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.279
where do you fall on this? You are a resident

152
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.080
conservative inside the treehouse, I'm a I'm a well known

153
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.080
fence writer. So I look at both sides and and

154
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.279
I'll decide later.

155
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.279
I don't. My deal isn't about the tax dollar is

156
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:46.039
so much. Is just the the growing rate of obesity

157
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:52.840
and and things like that. The health concerns are to

158
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.399
me more a better reason why to do this. But

159
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:02.039
I mean, it's we need sweeping changes across the board,

160
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.039
not just you know. And and I'm with you, I don't.

161
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.279
I hate the fact that you feel like you're penalizing

162
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.039
uh poor people.

163
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.320
Yeah, and that and that that's what it feels like.

164
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.399
And I think that at the core, that's why a

165
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.600
lot of people get on it. I think they see

166
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.320
a bill like this and say, I don't want my

167
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.919
tax dollars being spent on junk food because that's going

168
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.120
to make you even more unhealthy. And also I think

169
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.879
there is an aspect to it that people say I

170
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:34.960
don't want my tax dollars being spent on junk food

171
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.519
because hang on, just lost my train of thought. Hang On,

172
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.919
I lost it. I'll get it dollars, junk food, tax dollars,

173
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:46.559
junk food.

174
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:52.360
Hang on, my brain has spent on It.

175
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:56.759
Is a broken garbage heap on fire. You ever seen

176
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.759
you ever seen a pile of tires on fire. That's

177
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.080
what my brain feels like right now, especially because I

178
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.879
had a really solid point and it was for the

179
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.080
other side, and now I've ruined it. Let me read

180
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:08.440
more story. Maybe I'll figure it out.

181
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:09.519
Uh.

182
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.600
Texas Senator Mas Middleston from Galveston is the author of

183
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.399
the junk food crackdown. He says, the goal is not

184
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.519
to punish the poor. Okay, now I remember what it is.

185
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:19.120
Uh.

186
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.960
One aspect of not wanting your tax dollars being spent

187
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:30.919
on junk food, is I lost it again? Health, No,

188
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.039
there's another There was another tire flare up somewhere back

189
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.639
in here. Hang on, all right, man, go back to

190
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.759
reading the story. It'll come back to me.

191
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:40.519
Uh.

192
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.759
He says. The goal of the bill is not to

193
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.519
punish the poor. He says, items, it's a deterrence. That's

194
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.279
what it is. I don't want my tax dollars being

195
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.960
spent on this junk food, so therefore it's an incentive

196
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.639
for you to get off of the food stamp program.

197
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.120
You want good you want good food, stop, you know,

198
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.360
go out and get a job. I think that's the

199
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.879
mentality a lot of people have that are in support

200
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.519
of that bill. But out the fire, no wa and

201
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.600
go back to normal stuff. Anyway, The author of the

202
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.279
bill says the goal is not to punish the poor.

203
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.200
He says items like soda, energy drinks, candy, potato chips,

204
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:17.519
corn chips, cookies, they don't just lack nutritional value, they

205
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:22.000
are bad for you. And another Senator, Nathan Johnson, says

206
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.000
it's really hard for people to make good health decisions

207
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:27.759
when all they've seen their whole lives is junk food.

208
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.759
So I'm not entirely sure then, how this is going

209
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:37.039
to help other than them telling you, if you're on

210
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.159
food stamps, we're going to force you to make better

211
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:46.360
food options. The problem with that is this, if you

212
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.039
want to have a law in place that actually helps

213
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:53.840
people make better health related decisions, then you need to

214
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.919
make health food cheaper. You need to make healthy food

215
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.360
cheaper than the soda, the chip, the candy, and the crap.

216
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.639
Because unless you can do that, those snap benefits don't

217
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:09.200
go as far ask anyone that's tried to buy grilled chicken,

218
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.960
that's just tried to buy chicken breast. It's more expensive

219
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.200
than the other cuts of chicken, all these other just

220
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.480
go shopping train those this. You and I've been trying

221
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.879
to eat healthy for years. It's more expensive to eat

222
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.600
health So if you want people on food stamps to

223
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.200
make better decisions, then you need to find a way

224
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.000
to make the healthy stuff cheaper for all of us.

225
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:34.639
That's my soapbox for the day.

226
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.279
Also, I would like to pose if there is an

227
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.200
issue with people's diets, then I would like to pose

228
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.120
that that's more of an education issue, and you cannot

229
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:51.320
educate them by denying them the ability eats. I'm a hedonist,

230
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.600
so you need to be able to have potato chips

231
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.559
with your sandwich. There's nothing wrong with drinking the occasional soda.

232
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:02.759
We all know that there's nothing wrong with, you know,

233
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.320
consuming these things moderately. If there's a problem, it needs

234
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:07.879
to be addressed somewhere else.

235
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.320
It's not just the poor people that need to make

236
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.200
better food choices. It's our entire society needs to make

237
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:15.000
better choices.

238
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.639
Yeah, you're you're preaching moderation to a society that does

239
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.799
not know that. You know, we are absolutely make it bigger,

240
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.679
make it, you know, faster, make it stronger.

241
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.440
And honestly, putting potato chips on your sandwiches is the

242
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.559
epitome of that. It's gluttonous and delicious.

243
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:32.320
Mm hm.

244
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:38.039
We know what's bad, but god damn does it taste good.

245
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.320
It sucks. But hopefully you're right. It is an education issue.

246
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.240
But at a certain point you've got to stop the

247
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:56.360
cycle because it is something people see that they don't

248
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:57.840
know better, and so they just keep doing it. So

249
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.320
maybe this is the way to stop the cycle of it.

250
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.639
Is that is stop the cycle? Is that what that

251
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.320
crazy lady from the infomercial used to say years ago,

252
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.080
the one with the short spiky.

253
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.159
Hair, Susan powder stuff insanity stopped the insanity?

254
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:16.000
Oh can we bring her back for the education part

255
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:16.200
of this?

256
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.320
I think she's dead?

257
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:24.919
Did she did? She choke on a potato chip? But

258
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.559
a nice stopped the insanity movement? You know that that

259
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:33.120
could that could be useful. H meals on wheels didn't stick.

260
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.200
You can only sweat to the oldies for so long.

261
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:44.600

273
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.759
I'm Daniel Mally along with Trey Trentholm and Jerry Caldwell.

274
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:46.960
Today is Friday, April fourth, twoenty twenty five. Do you

275
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:52.440
guys know the cheeky smuggler? I'm sorry, what the cheeky smuggler?

276
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:54.880
I do not.

277
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.759
He might be loosely related to the Muffin Man, but

278
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:06.319
a twenty six year old man was arrested on Sunday

279
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.480
for allegedly trying to smuggle methamphetamine across the Texas Messic

280
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:16.039
the Texas Mexico border. US Customs and Border Protection is

281
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:20.440
calling the suspect the cheeky smuggler after finding the drugs

282
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:25.640
inside his buttocks at the Isleta International Crossing in El Paso.

283
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.240
This is where being a law enforcement officer pays off,

284
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:35.240
is when you get to name certain criminals and coming

285
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.200
up with a doozy like the cheeky smuggler because someone's

286
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:42.440
smuggling methan there butt. Well, that's a fine day as

287
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:43.279
a police officer.

288
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:51.119
Okay, so is this like like implanted in like a

289
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.960
fake butt? Are we talking in the butt or like

290
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.480
up just hot dog?

291
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:07.039
So the story does not go into detail, tray, but

292
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:16.200
but there are clues. Okay, here is clue number one.

293
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:16.880
One.

294
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:28.640
Second, here's clue number one. Okay, the shape, Oh, go ahead, tray.

295
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.920
Yeah, that's I think that was definitely up.

296
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:39.000
Yeah. I don't believe that was sandwiched in between the

297
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:43.079
two buns like a hot dog. This was more corn

298
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:53.720
dog style. Yeah, that's The packaging on the meth is

299
00:19:54.079 --> 00:20:00.920
of a shape that would lend itself to insertion. But again,

300
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:05.039
they don't go into detail in the story. So the

301
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:11.000
possibility does exist that since the package of the meth

302
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.559
is hot dog shaped, maybe it was put in his

303
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:22.319
backside like a hot dog. Between the two buntons, in

304
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:28.480
other words, so you could see it. However, Trey and

305
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.599
I learned this yesterday on the Treehouse Show. There was

306
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.680
a man also this past week who was busted at

307
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.240
the border trying to smuggle two hundred and fifty pounds

308
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:43.160
of boloney. He was doing it in the back of

309
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:45.079
his truck. He was not doing it in the same

310
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.200
manner that this young man was, because if we're being honest,

311
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.759
you're not going to put twenty two packages of bologne

312
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.720
in your button. If you are, then you're the greatest

313
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.759
drug mule of all time. Anyway, the point is this

314
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:10.440
Border patrols really good at their job, and the dogs

315
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:16.279
had a really easy week, right The border patrol canines

316
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:20.799
had a really easy week. I say that because not

317
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:22.960
only did they bust him in with two hundred and

318
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.839
fifty pounds of balgoney in his truck, it's processed to meet.

319
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:29.680
You don't need to be a highly trained canine to

320
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:34.039
smell that. Now there's this guy who has a bunch

321
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:38.000
of meth hidden in his butt. You're trying to Any

322
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:44.640
normal dog is gonna sniff someone's butt and probably flag

323
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.480
that there's something amiss in here. It really is like

324
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:50.039
a it's like a walk in the park for these

325
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:51.519
canines over this last weekend.

326
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.799
That and the size of that thing. He had to

327
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.559
like kind of be duck walking and look very uncomfortable

328
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.839
as he's a approaching the border.

329
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:06.240
That stated, boy, Yeah, yeah, I think uh, I think

330
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.160
that would also be a pretty strong clue that he's

331
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:08.920
hiding something.

332
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.079
What'd you have for dinner last night?

333
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.200
Yeah? If you're going to try to smuggle things across

334
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.480
the border, try to have a more natural gait. If

335
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:22.640
you're like Trey, Like you said, Trey, if you're a

336
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.480
duck walking across the checkpoint, you're gonna stand out.

337
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:29.440
Have you ever tried to walk normally with something shoved

338
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:33.480
up your butt? It's not I would assume it's not easy.

339
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:40.240
I I mean, at least that guy will have an

340
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:41.319
easy time in prison.

Trenholme and Jerry Caldwell. Today is Friday, April fourth, twenty

355
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.799
twenty five. I have a very special story to share

356
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:56.400
with you too today. On an island south of Adelaide.

357
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.359
I think I said that wrong. Adelaide, Adelaide. I've never

358
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:04.359
been to austri Adelaide, Adelaide. That makes more sense. For

359
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:05.519
a time that I think about it, I feel like

360
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.960
the story is gonna need some music in me just

361
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.079
a moment here. Let me dig through and try to

362
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:12.720
find something that I feel like will fit the vibe

363
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:16.039
of this particular story. You see here, Here we go,

364
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:28.079
Here we go, guys, hear that? Okay, we started over

365
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:32.400
for effect? All right, here we go. All good stories,

366
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:41.440
get this music. On an island south of Adelaide, a

367
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:47.039
strange creature has been seen creeping through the bush. A long,

368
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.839
cylindrical body and long snout flanked by floppy ears or

369
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:57.799
diad giveaways. But this Wiener dog named Valerie isn't lost anymore.

370
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:04.799
After almost eighteen months of living wild on Kangaroo Island,

371
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:08.400
local police are poised to get her out of there

372
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:13.319
and reunite her with her owners, Josh and Georgia. So yes,

373
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:19.279
if you're following along in Australia, a Wiener has survived

374
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:29.039
the bush, aren't you glad? I've gone so far out

375
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.000
of my way to share this story with you today.

376
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:32.039
Inside the treehouse.

377
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:37.519
That's a big setup for that bunch of.

378
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:45.319
It really was. I don't care, it's Friday. I'm having fun. Oh.

379
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.759
It also is just a really good story and the

380
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.880
fact that it's right within the window. But it's true.

381
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.400
It's freakish to think about it. In reality, a miniature

382
00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:01.000
Wiener dog in Australia has somehow survived eighteen months in

383
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:01.519
the bush.

384
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.519
If there was a breed of dog, I can believe

385
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:04.839
that one.

386
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.119
Oh you're with me on the Wiener love Jerry. Oh yeah,

387
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:13.319
My very first dog was a docsuent and I loved

388
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:16.680
that dog. She was my very first memory at the

389
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:21.359
age of one, and when I told my dad that

390
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:24.839
that my first memory was of that little dog. He said,

391
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:28.279
there's no way, And so I described to him what

392
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:31.640
I remembered that he just assumed was a dream that

393
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:35.599
I was confusing with real life. And I told him

394
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.079
I remember going to this front door, opening up a

395
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.039
wooden door with the glass that was a sort of

396
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.720
you know, prism style, so you couldn't quite see through it.

397
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.839
It was stylish glass, opening the front door, walking into

398
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:55.559
this tile entryway, and seeing this little reddish brown Wiener

399
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.200
dog puppy come scurrying up to me, went right past

400
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.480
my dad, who had bent over saying, come here, sween,

401
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.000
you come here, come here, and she bolted straight past him,

402
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:09.559
right into my waiting, little five year old hands. And

403
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:11.880
when I told my dad dad story, he said, son

404
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.160
of a bitch, you do remember that? He actually, I

405
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.640
think he may have said f me, but still what

406
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:23.720
he said excitedly there, I didn't remember exactly, but I

407
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.440
remembered that I remembered the dog. And he said, I

408
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.000
you're absolutely right you. I can't believe you remember that,

409
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:31.119
and I do. I love Wiener dogs.

410
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:32.680
No, you said you were one.

411
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:35.400
M oh yeah, sorry, one, not five.

412
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:39.119
One. Yes, I was one. Your love of wieners was

413
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:43.240
from an early age, It really was. You did give

414
00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:44.759
the greatest SoundBite.

415
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:49.559
Earlier when I said that, So you're with me.

416
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:51.079
Jerry in the love of Wieners.

417
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.319
Yeah, I kind of knew what I was saying there. Yeah, yeah,

418
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:58.720
I was just I'm just having fun with it, like

419
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:03.319
you with the Wieners, Wiener dogs, Wiener dogs. No one

420
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:08.119
Brown would freak out. But it really is a wild story.

421
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:13.480
Eighteen months, this docs has survived in the wild in Australia.

422
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:15.599
I wouldn't survive eighteen minutes.

423
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:20.200
Yeah, that's I mean, that's what makes it all the

424
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:24.200
more impressive is it's Australia. They're just everything around you

425
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.839
can kill you.

426
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:28.400
And Jerry, you said you're not surprised that a doxin

427
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.960
or Wiener dog, that that breed is one that would

428
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.400
survive the Australian outback.

429
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:35.480
Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, has anyone asked

430
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:37.480
this dog if they want to come back to civilization?

431
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.960
Ooh, that's a good question. She may be live. Valerie

432
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:42.799
may be living her best life.

433
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.160
I forgot what they're They're originally bred to hunt like

434
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:47.640
moles or.

435
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:50.000
Some brown Yeah, they're ground dogs.

436
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:50.920
Yeah, So.

437
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:54.599
What was told to me is that they were bred

438
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:57.480
to go into holes and like you said, anything in

439
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.519
the hole gets her long and slender, and and I

440
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:02.880
can attest I still have a scar in my right ear.

441
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.680
They bite really really hard. They are fighters.

442
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:09.279
I remember when you got that scar.

443
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:14.480
Thank you. Trey wasn't there that was wasn't that kind

444
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:18.240
of a party. But what was told to me is

445
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:20.640
that they were bred to like go into holes in

446
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:22.960
the burrows and things like that, and like pull out

447
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.519
badgers and wolverines and such. I don't know why you'd

448
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:27.359
want to pull one out of there, but I don't know.

449
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:32.880
I guess for the furs. Back in the day, no

450
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:38.200
one ever answered that question for me. And so it's

451
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:40.640
that thinking, Jerry, is the reason why you think that

452
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.119
the wier dog is an appropriate breed to survive the

453
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:46.319
bush of Australia.

454
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:49.160
Absolutely okay.

455
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:54.640
It's interesting though that they still can't catch her. They said,

456
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:55.880
she go ahead.

457
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:57.599
That's why I'm like, does she want to be caught?

458
00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:59.759
It's probably out there thinking this is awesome.

459
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.359
There are teams of people trying to get her. Now,

460
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:08.880
Like I said earlier, local police think they're close. They

461
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:10.440
think they're close in twenty twenty three.

462
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:11.160
The pair.

463
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.880
Josh and Georgia in twenty twenty three, were enjoying a

464
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.279
camping holiday on the island with their miniature docks and Valerie,

465
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.119
who weighs no more than eight pounds, soaking wet. They

466
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.759
said the pampered pooch was used, was used to pink

467
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.880
sweaters and toys, treats and ramps to help her get upstairs,

468
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:31.799
and so the couple thought it would be safe to

469
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:34.319
leave her closed in her cage with plenty of pleasures

470
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:37.640
while they went fishing. First of all, don't do that now,

471
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.279
don't don't, don't. Don't leave your dog like that In

472
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.119
Australia no less anyway. But within minutes of casting their lines,

473
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.759
another camper told him Valerie had escaped, run underneath a

474
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.000
van and then bolted into the bush when some people

475
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:53.880
tried to coax her out. They said, we spent the

476
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:57.119
next five days searching for her through the bush, hiking

477
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.599
up and down big hills, and camping overnight, having packed

478
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:02.440
only one pair of clothes each, and amid the stink,

479
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:04.480
the rain and all the conditions, they had to give up.

480
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:09.240
Now they've just heard last month that Valerie had been

481
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:11.839
seen on the island at the end of February, just

482
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.279
over nine miles from the campsite where she had been lost.

483
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:20.359
According to Georgie, she says, we're just waiting to see

484
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:23.480
what conditions he's in and whether she's still domesticated. It's

485
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:25.359
all pretty overwhelming. I just want to give her a

486
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.400
big hug because the local authorities and tour operators feel

487
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:31.839
like they are very close to catching her and bringing

488
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:32.279
her home.

489
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:36.920
There's ever a place a wiener is going to be happy.

490
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:40.880
You don't need to finish the sentence, but I'm not.

00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:37.440
I'm Dan. That's Trey. He is Jerry and today is

502
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:46.599
Fred Day, April fourth, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate with

503
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:50.359
some birthdays. It's actually a really good birthday day. I

504
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.359
was just taking a brief look in the last break

505
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:56.039
starts out really, I'm gonna skip over a few, but

506
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.079
then it picks up steam. Here we go. Jamie Lynn

507
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:03.119
Spears is prety four today, Jamie Lynn Spears thirty four today?

508
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.519
Is she the one? Is Jamie Lynn Spears the one

509
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:11.880
that had the awful Saturday Night Live performance? Or was that?

510
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.880
Who was that?

511
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.200
That was Jessica Simpson's sister?

512
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:20.039
Was that just that was Ashley Simpson Ashley Simpson. Yeah,

513
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:21.000
it's hard to keep the.

514
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:23.400
Jamie Lynn never even got that big enough to be

515
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:24.319
on Saturday Night Live.

516
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:29.240
She did make it out of the park though, the

517
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:33.319
trailer park, although it seems that Britney's back in it,

518
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:36.160
even though she's still in a penthouse in Vegas. I

519
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.839
saw something the other day. TMZ keeps posting stuff like

520
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:41.119
Britney Spears dancing on an underwear. I'm like, yeah, I

521
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:42.880
get it. Keeps crolling Yeah.

522
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:47.799
I think I think that's become old hat on her Instagram.

523
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:52.559
Mm hmm, I don't even know why that's newsworthy anymore. Yeah,

524
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.440
I'm pretty sure even her son's friends are like, come on, lady,

525
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:56.119
put some clothes on.

526
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:01.079
That's her crazy has become so like just mundane. It's

527
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:02.680
not it's not even a turn on anymore.

528
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:06.480
Yeah, take it outside, like, go go back to the

529
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:08.639
go back to the old Brittany where her crazy was

530
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:12.039
on display in full public, in the public going against

531
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.400
paparazzi with an umbrella, with a shaved head. That's the

532
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:18.679
Britney I miss. Yeah, that's the one Trey loves.

533
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.320
Yeah, I mean go go go back to hot Brittany

534
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:28.280
that you know, dancing and just the occasional out of craziness,

535
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:30.880
not not just every time you turn on your Instagram

536
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.880
you're you're gonna do something that's you've done before.

537
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:36.920
Right, Yeah, Britney Spears dancing around in her underwear is

538
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.320
not newsworthy. The time she did it with knives, that

539
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:43.599
was interesting, we all watched that. But then it gets

540
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:46.760
it gets old. So if she's gonna dance around again,

541
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:48.920
she's gonna have to dance around in her underwear with

542
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:51.639
some flamethrowers or Molotov cocktails or something. Just to keep

543
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:56.519
it interesting. Other birthdays Today, Happy birthday, Jamie Lynn spears.

544
00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:58.719
I'm sure she loves that it's her birthday, and once

545
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:01.480
again we're left talking about her other birthdays.

546
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:01.719
Today.

547
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:04.679
Natasha Leones an actress. She is forty six. Today she's

548
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:08.280
na yet on Russian Doll she's Nicki in Orange is

549
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:10.519
the New Black, And if I remember correctly, she was

550
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:14.880
the wise, cracking, smart friend on American Pie. She was

551
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:18.519
in that as well. Other birthdays. David Blaine, the Magician,

552
00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:20.840
is fifty two. I think I just saw he's got

553
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:24.039
a new special out. Is it on Disney?

554
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:27.840
I think so. It's called don't do this, Don't.

555
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:29.480
Try this, Okay, I won't.

556
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:31.559
Good.

557
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:37.360
Cool problem solved. He's a hell of a stunt performer.

558
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.119
I don't know what the new things are that he's got.

559
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:42.559
Remember one of the ones I remember? I think the

560
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:46.639
two biggest ones I remember him for was him balancing

561
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:50.199
on one foot on top of a building or like

562
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.360
a spire or something in New York. And the other

563
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:56.360
one was him living in a clear box for like

564
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:56.800
a week.

565
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:03.360
He's also been submerged, urged underwater for a very extended

566
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:06.239
period of time. He's been frozen in a block of ice.

567
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:11.800
Pretty impressive. Happy birthday to him. He is fifty two today.

568
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:15.519
Other birthdays. Nancy McKeon is fifty nine, best known as

569
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:18.639
Joe on the Facts of Life. She's also Demi Lovato's

570
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:20.000
mom on Sunny With a Chance.

571
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:23.639
She's only fifty nine.

572
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:26.480
Yeah, I'm with you. I would have thought she was

573
00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:29.079
much older. Yeah, and now is when we get into

574
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.280
the super big birthdays. Are you ready? Here we go.

575
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:36.280
Iron Man slash soon to be Doctor Doom Robert Downey

576
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:41.440
Junior is sixty today, sixty years old. Not only is

577
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:43.920
he iron Man, but he's also going to be Doctor Doom.

578
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:49.599
I can't imagine the amount of money he now has.

579
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:54.119
I mean, if he wanted to, he could actually play

580
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:56.880
the role of Scrooge McDuck and swim around his own

581
00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:58.199
gold coin pool.

582
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:05.039
Yeah, because he I believe part of his deal with

583
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.480
for Iron Man to come back as he took, he

584
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.000
got points on the back end of the movie of

585
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:10.559
all of them.

586
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:13.639
So yeah, he's riding high.

587
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:17.639
According to Celebrity Networth, he is worth three hundred mili.

588
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:26.760
That's before Avengers Doomsday that made double I just imagine

589
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:28.800
how much he'd be worth had he not snorted or

590
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:31.559
shot so much of it up in his younger years.

591
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:34.519
You know, you never know that's would he be as

592
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.199
good if he hadn't been down that road.

593
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:39.599
He may not. Had he not, had he not had

594
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:41.639
that history, he may not have been so perfect for

595
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:42.559
the role of Iron Man.

596
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.840
He always there's always that less than zero scene.

597
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:50.079
Oh god, Jerry, have you seen that?

598
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.280
I don't know what scene?

599
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:57.079
Trey, can you describe it in radio friendly detail?

600
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:03.199
He's blown a guy for drugs. Of of.

601
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:12.880
Jerry, let's bleep that for Brownwood. They're sensitive. But yeah,

602
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:18.199
that's it. Other birthdays today from Arrested Development and formerly

603
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:22.079
of Mister Show, David Cross is sixty one. Graham Norton,

604
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:24.320
the British talk show host, is sixty two, who I

605
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:28.159
will say is probably the best of the TV talk

606
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.440
show hosts. And usually we're talking about the American ones.

607
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:34.440
Go watch some of Graham Norton. He's fantastic.

608
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:43.760
He is so good. But that's I don't care what

609
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:47.159
side of the aisle you're on. The problem with late

610
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:49.679
night TV in America now is it is all they're

611
00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:54.639
all political, you know, and you go back. There is

612
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:56.360
not one time you can go back and watch Johnny

613
00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:01.880
Carson and figure out where he sits politically. Sure, but

614
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:05.599
it is Yeah, but Graham Norton is a great interview,

615
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.840
and it's fun, it's relaxed. It's what the Late night

616
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:11.360
Talk is supposed to be and instead of what we

617
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:13.559
have now, which is just crap.

618
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:18.519
Other birthdays today, Hugo Weaving is sixty five. This guy

Megatron in the first three Transformers movies, and the Red

00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:34.679
Skull in Captain America. And that's just tip of the

624
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:36.679
iceberg for that guy. He is such a good actor.

625
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:40.159
Hugo Weaving. He is sixty five today.

626
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:40.519

Boston Public. Oh and by the way, if all those

630
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.840
things aren't awesome enough on their own, He's also married

631
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:55.719
to Michelle Pfeiffer.

632
00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:00.159
Nice.

633
00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:04.079
What's that trait the city?

634
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:05.000
You have done well, sir?

635
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:08.320
I wonder if she ever reminds him of that in bed,

636
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:11.679
just kind of rolls over and says, you know you're

637
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:15.079
a miscat Helvin. You are a hell of a writer, producer.

638
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:15.000
You know.

639
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:19.320
I mean you've done Big Little Eyes, Ali McBeal, The Practice, Boston,

640
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.639
The Eagle, Boston Public. But if we're being honest, isn't

641
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.559
your greatest accomplishment me lying right here next to you

642
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:27.360
and he can't argue that?

643
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:31.239
Mm hmm. It'd also be funny if she just rolled

644
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:34.519
over and said, Denny Crane.

00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:43.039

certain way. Even when I do it what I think

664
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:56.039
is the right way, he's still mad about it. So

665
00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:57.760
if I didn't do it at all, he'd be really pissed.

666
00:41:57.800 --> 00:41:58.239
Here we go.

of the show. I am I'm trying. All I've got

676
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:17.760
is my my flashlight app on my phone to try

677
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:22.239
to anticipate is my lighting situation is not great, especially today,

678
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:24.760
but we make do so when you hear the Hot

679
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:28.920
Girl's lover Boy flasherlights, enjoy have fun. Trey, What was

680
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.199
it that you got on your phone recently?

681
00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:36.559
Oh, it's just it's a Boston Legal clip came across

682
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:41.960
my Facebook video thing this morning. I was watching you

683
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:50.239
know where someone takes Alan Shore of Uh oh god,

684
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:51.400
I just drew a blank on his name.

685
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:53.320
But thank god, I'm not the only one drawing a

686
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:53.880
blank today.

687
00:43:56.679 --> 00:44:02.800
Who's the actor who played James Spader? James Spader and

688
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:09.039
you know Shatner shoots them and then any Crane.

689
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:12.719
Yeah, it's interesting how because like the way the show

690
00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:15.880
works sometimes is we'll talk about an individual and then

691
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:21.440
inevitably it happens to be their birthday or they're related

692
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:23.400
to someone whose birthday is and the birthday thing. That's

693
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:25.519
part of the reason why we do birthdays is because

694
00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:30.920
there's always some weird crossover that happens. And the way

695
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:35.599
our phones listen to us, now our show will our

696
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:40.159
show will infiltrate your apps on your phone. So now

697
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:42.800
that we've talked about Boston Legal as much as we

698
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.719
have today, we'll probably get served on social media some

699
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:50.400
Denny Crane Boston Legal type stuff. And this happened to

700
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:52.840
me just the other day because just the other day, Trey,

701
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.719
you and I were talking about how seeing certain types

702
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:03.880
of shoes to help coddle and cuddle your feet now

703
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:07.360
seem appealing. We're at the age now where orthopedic style

704
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:12.360
shoes sound appealing. And my phone heard that. My phone

705
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:16.199
heard that, and it gave me this ad on Instagram,

706
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:18.199
and I don't even want to say it out loud,

707
00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:23.840
but I have to. It's uphos f Os is some

708
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:28.239
sort of orthopedic old man sneakers. And I'll admit the

709
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:33.039
neon green with the white it looks pretty stylish, if

710
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:37.079
you know, if I'm being honest. So good on you

711
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:43.440
Instagram for listening and recommending the ooh my stride shoe

712
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:52.280
Active recovery footwear, advanced oohfhoam technology gets you back. And

713
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:56.840
even someone comments best supportive shoes out there. So we're

714
00:45:56.880 --> 00:46:01.679
all of a certain age that supportive shoes now sound

715
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:05.000
kind of nice because not only do I want to hug,

716
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:07.239
but so do my feet.

717
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:11.719
Did you order them.

718
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:15.039
In every single color? I mean, look at it. Styl

719
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:18.320
is right, And the good news is no one's really

720
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:21.079
aware of this brand. If I wear Sketchers, I'd look

721
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.039
like an old ass, you know, and I just I

722
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:26.480
can't have that. But I got these. If I get these,

723
00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:33.039
then maybe I look halfway uh normal, because honestly, the

724
00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:35.599
only way anyone's going to know that name brand is

725
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:43.159
if they too have them. It makes sense in my head.

726
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:48.039
I had a tire fire in my brain earlier today.

727
00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:49.360
Let me have the comfy shoe thing.

728
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.960
What what other ads pop up based on our on

729
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:56.800
the show that on your phone?

730
00:46:56.960 --> 00:47:03.519
I'd rather not say. There's some weird stuff. Let's just

731
00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:04.199
leave it at that.

732
00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:11.199
Anything pirate too much.

733
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:15.519
I did get I did get hit with some charter

734
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:18.760
with some ads for charter companies if you want to

735
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:22.159
do the Pirate experience. However, some of those ads weren't

736
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.360
all got charter based. There were some other options as

737
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:28.079
well that I'd rather not discuss.

738
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:29.400
Some group options.

739
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:31.960
Right here, Trey, that's for you.

740
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:34.559
Keep it up.

741
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:38.960
