adventure of punching old ladies in the teeth for televisions today. Yeah,

or if you're an old lady who got punched in

9
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.159
the teeth over at television, you could use some Treehouse

10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.119
and we're here for you. We get you coming and going. Baby.

11
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:09.879
So let's start today with something especially holiday themed. All right,

12
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.760
let me pulled this up. A senior executive at Campbell

13
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.359
Soup Company was allegedly caught making disparaging remarks about the company.

14
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:27.040
We're looking at healthy brands, avocado based oil. Healthy. If

15
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.439
you look at our fantry, we still we have four people,

16
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:42.319
right we have that's for four people. Don't apply more healthy.

17
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.159
The Michigan lawsuit claims executive Martin Valley was secretly recorded

18
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.359
by a former employee.

19
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.680
I don't know he said chicken. It came from a

20
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:56.599
three D printer and you.

21
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.319
The meeting was recorded by Robert Garz, a former cybersecurity

22
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.680
analyst at Campbell who later filed a discrimination suit against Bally.

23
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.200
Guarza said he met with him expecting to discuss salary.

24
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.759
He alleges he was later terminated after raising concerns about

25
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.199
the executive. Campbell said Bally was placed on temporary leave

26
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:22.039
as the company conducts an internal investigation. Well, there's nothing

27
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.400
like leading into a holiday and having one of your

28
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.400
top executives being whistleblown all over social media and on

29
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:39.000
the Washington Post. Fascinating there from Campbell's. Also, timing couldn't

30
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.360
be better because new from Campbell's just in time for

31
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:46.719
the holiday. Cream of Campbell's executive, full of hate and stupidity,

32
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.719
a dash of corporate cover up, and just a hint

33
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.639
of racism. If you're wondering where the racism comes in,

34
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.479
I'll tell you. Martin Bally is a vice president and

35
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.280
chief information officer at the food giant. He said, hearing

36
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.960
a meeting that Campbell's products were highly processed food for

37
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.800
poor people, that Indian employees were idiots whom he disliked

38
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.280
working with. That's according to the employment discrimination complaint filed

39
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.439
by Garza. Garza said in the lawsuit he was fired

40
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.120
after telling a supervisor about the comments that he planned

41
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.680
to report them to the HR department. So there's your

42
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.879
dash of corporate cover up. And then the more hints

43
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.840
of racism came when Garza's attorney provided The Washington Post

44
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.520
with a lengthy recording other conversation which Bally can allegedly

45
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.280
be heard complaining about an incident during which employees could

46
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.919
not be reached in a technical emergency, saying, effing Indians

47
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.280
they couldn't think for their effing selves. He can also

48
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.560
allegedly be heard suggesting that the company suits possibly used

49
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:53.479
bioengineered meat. A statement from Campbell's said these statements, if

50
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.759
they were in fact made, are unacceptable. They do not

51
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.520
reflect our values and the culture of our company. And

52
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.439
they also said, no, we use real chicken in our products.

53
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.039
Any claims otherwise or false. Hmm, I can't wait to

54
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.039
rip open my can of Campbell's cream a mushroom from

55
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:17.120
my green bean casserole. Well, happy freaking holidays. Sorry, you've

56
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.959
got the look of discernment on your face. Do you

57
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.240
smell a stinky?

58
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.800
I mean the what was he he's the CTO.

59
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.800
Basically, yeah, he's yeah, thank you, Jerry Cio, chief information

60
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.560
officer and vice president I'm sorry, vice president and chief

61
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.000
information security officer at.

62
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.920
Campbell, so about as far away as from production as

63
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:49.079
you could be, I am. I always find it interesting,

64
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:57.639
you know, when people take recordings into meetings and then

65
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.720
they go, oh, but there's more, Well, why didn't you

66
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.800
really more so, either you're blackmailing the company or I

67
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.360
don't know it just I mean, the guy's an asshole.

68
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.279
He just hurts to be fired. I mean, how long.

69
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.800
Does this internal investigation really need to be? I mean,

70
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.759
this seems pretty cut and dry. Is that him? Bye?

71
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:18.959
Is it not him? Then you're fine?

72
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.480
But I also, I guess I'm at a point now.

73
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.600
And you know you can get a can of soup

74
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.759
for ninety nine cents. Yeah, I know. It's highly processed.

75
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.399
It's m it is what it is.

76
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.680
There is something to be said about saying the quiet

77
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.000
part out loud is one of the ways to phrase

78
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.759
it these days, which is another way of saying, well,

79
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.639
we're just I'm kind of saying what we all already know.

80
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:52.160
It's just not really said. It's more understood. I certainly

81
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.199
don't expect, you know, some of Campbell's soup products to

82
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.279
not be high processed. I mean it's canned food. I

83
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.839
mean kind of by definition processed. I also know, and

84
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.279
all the mushrooms I have handled in my life, I've

85
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.959
yet to see one pump out cream. And if I do,

86
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.839
I'm not gonna eat it. But I know the soup

87
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.680
is tasty and it's an essential ingredient in my green

88
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.040
bean cast role. So yeah. The thing is, though, as

89
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.759
a high ranking company executive, you're not supposed to be

90
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.839
the one that says that stuff. You're supposed to waive

91
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.480
the company flag and go rah rah raie gay Campbell

92
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.319
not not talk trash about the ingredients and the company

93
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.160
to fellow employees, subordinates.

94
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:42.800
No less chief information security officer didn't keep that very secure,

95
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:43.360
did your brother?

96
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.360
No, stay in your lane, bro, You need to be

97
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.319
worried about the site. Which that's another angle on this story.

98
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:58.759
Campbell's soup has a cybersecurity department. Oh, twenty first century.

99
00:06:58.800 --> 00:06:59.639
It's a beautiful thing.

100
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.120
But yeah, you know, and then also anything a can

101
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.720
that it's gonna last five years, what do you want?

102
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.639
Yeah, you're right, it's ninety nine cent cream of something

103
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.399
that doesn't typically have cream in it.

104
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:23.399
So I'm not shock regardless if I want soup or

105
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.079
have there's a recipe that calls for soup. That's my

106
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.600
first you know, I'm probably going towards you grabbing a

107
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.560
can of Campbell's mm hm hm.

108
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.560
Honestly thought roast it's very important part of the recipe.

109
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.680
Okay, yeah, I mean, honestly, at the top of my head,

110
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.839
I don't even I can't even think if Progresso or

111
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.120
I think that's the only other soup competitor I can

112
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:45.680
come up with. At the top of my head, I

113
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.360
don't know if they have cream of product lines or not.

114
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.480
No, they're usually like a full blown you know, it's

115
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.600
MINNESTRONI it's vegetable beef.

116
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:56.639
You know.

117
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.279
And that's the other thing about what this guy said,

118
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:04.240
He's like lofing food for poor people. That's what soup is.

119
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.800
That's what soup has always been. It's you know, it's

120
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.040
it's the table scraps that we got from the monarchs

121
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.439
and the rulers and the lords, and then we just

122
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.920
throw it in some water or throw it in some

123
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.560
stock and tried to make it taste as good as

124
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:19.959
we could.

125
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.439
Yeah, I mean chicken stock literally is you know. Oh,

126
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.639
they took the bones that the royalty weren't gonna eat,

127
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.639
and they pull it stock and took whatever meat was

128
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:30.759
going to be left off the bone.

129
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.679
Yeah, and marketing is not a brand new thing. They

130
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.120
called it chicken stock even back then because bone water

131
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:42.960
doesn't sell as well. Sure, that's what it is, but

132
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.840
let's not call it what it is. You know. Ah,

133
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.440
Campbell's just out of nowhere, just stepping in it. The

134
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.519
angle on this that does bother me at a real

135
00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:01.360
authentic level is if what this for seeing whistleblower in

136
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.720
terms of a Campbell's Soup controversy. But here we are

137
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.840
if what this complainant is saying is true that he

138
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.519
went in had to have some sort of salary negotiation

139
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.039
and he ends up recording the conversation because the executive

140
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.639
is just just dogging the company left and right, and

141
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:23.200
he's saying bad things about the Indian employees. And then

142
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.919
if it's also true that he went to another supervisor

143
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:30.399
to report it and was fired, that's a severe problem.

144
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.919
And that's something that unfortunately is not limited to Campbell's

145
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.519
Soup that's something that happens at corporations. I think every

146
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:42.279
single day I've seen it happen where the company you

147
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.080
think you might be doing something right, and then about

148
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:51.360
halfway through the entire process you realize, Oh, the company's

149
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:59.320
not helping me. They're just protecting their executive yep. And

150
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.360
that's a realization to make.

151
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.279
I mean that that is an unfortunate realization. And corporate

152
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.000
America and government everything is that a lot of a

153
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:16.399
lot of positions could be eliminated. But otherwise, you know,

154
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:21.440
people protect their position by screwing other people.

155
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:29.519
Yeah, mm hmm, corporate one on one baby, Uh, I

156
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.120
had something else and now I just lost it because

157
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:38.679
I got I got stuck in a memory. What was that?

158
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.559
I could something in my ear? Get all. That's an

159
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:46.279
odd flutter in the audio stream. I don't know what

160
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.440
that was. Maybe we can fix it and post.

161
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.879
Yeah. If there was ever an industry where this rings true.

162
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.639
It's the media industry, without a doubt. And the sad

163
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:00.159
thing is, is your only recourse, like this guy, this

164
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.679
employee again, if all this is true, his only recourse

165
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.159
really is to go to the media and say, all right, look,

166
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.200
this is what's happening because I had a problem with

167
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.200
this guy, and I went to this guy to say, hey,

168
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.240
there's a problem with this guy, and that guy fired

169
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.960
me for it. So now that we got corporate cover

170
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.000
up type of situation, and the only recourse if you're

171
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.519
not being treated fairly by the company is to go

172
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.879
to the media. And you got a whistleblow and everyone

173
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.519
looks at you funny because number one, you're whistle blowing

174
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.679
on Campbell's soup, and number two, it's the first time

175
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.720
they've heard you actually say out loud that you work

176
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.240
at Campbell's Soup because it's not exactly high on people's

177
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:35.080
LinkedIn profile.

178
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.360
Well, there's also there's another factor to this, which is

179
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.159
you may not be popular with the company overall because

180
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.399
if their employees a lot of them are vested in

181
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.399
Campbell's stock, stuff like this tended to be uh, not

182
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:55.519
so good, So you may have cost everyone some money.

183
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.039
You said, vested in Campbell's stock.

184
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:10.279
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody in the Treehouse.

Eight three three Cook DFW is the phone number you

187
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.879
will need to contact Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing

188
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.200
and Restoration to schedule your free roof inspection and property review. Daniel,

189
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.039
When you go to someone's house and you're doing that

190
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.000
free roof inspection, what else are you looking for around

191
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:33.320
the home?

192
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.000
Well, Dan, I mean, there's a lot of things you

193
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.919
can see from the roof. Obviously, you know, most people

194
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.919
can't see everything, and so that gives us a great

195
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.519
opportunity to look at their flashings, the siding, some of

196
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:47.080
their windows seals, maybe around that area up there, their chimney.

197
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:48.960
There's a lot of things on top of roof. But

198
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.279
when we get down we also want to you know,

199
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.200
show the client maybe some potential problems around their property

200
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.679
and like their gutters, maybe their windows seals, their screens,

201
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.000
their garage door trim flashing, could be letting in rodents

202
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.240
because it's starting to warp and come apart. And then

203
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.200
even sometimes some people may have some things on the

204
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.039
inside of their home that they're not sure or what

205
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.519
to do about. You know, it could be cracks along

206
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.960
the corners of the texture or the sheet rock. It

207
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.360
could be some moldings that are falling off around their doors,

208
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.440
flooring issues concerns. Sometimes we get in there and they

209
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.679
have a bathroom that's been leaking for a long time,

210
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.840
and they got a cabinet that's starting to cintegrate. These

211
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.399
are all things that we can look at and give

212
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.440
you an honest, you know, appraisal about and really give

213
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.360
you some ideas on how to get these things fixed.

214
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.159
And so I know you don't like one stop shop.

215
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.720
I don't like that either. It sounds cheap, but honestly,

216
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.480
we are the one stop contractor that can give you

217
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.240
the ideas and what you need to do and how

218
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:45.600
to get things fixed around your home.

219
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.039

of their property, and like you said, if you've got

222
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.279

and of course tell them you heard about them right

232
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:37.840
here inside the treehouse.

233
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:39.639
Uh.

234
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.799
Transportation Secretary is not a position inside any presidential administration

235
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.279
that gets much attention unless there's been some sort of

236
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:53.200
tragedy or if he or she wants to tell everyone

237
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.120
what to do, especially while traveling over the holidays. And

238
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.559
that's exactly what Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy did recently out

239
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.200
of Prescot on Friends Again.

240
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.080
I call this, uh, just maybe dressing with some respect.

241
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:06.039
Uh.

242
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:08.080
You know, whether it's a pair of jeans and a

243
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.519
and a and a decent shirt, I would encourage.

244
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.480
People to maybe I would encourage someone to pay attention

245
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:21.919
to that dangerous sounding alarm in the background. Did anyone

246
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:22.639
else pick up on that?

247
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.879
Call this, uh just maybe dressing with some respect. Uh,

248
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:28.879
you know, whether it's a pair of jeans and a

249
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.200
and a and a decent shirt. I would encourage people

250
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.759
to maybe dress a little better, which encourage us, encourages

251
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.919
us to maybe behave all a little better.

252
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.360
Let's so, I guess the head of the Transportation Department

253
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.799
wants to also be the head of the fashion police.

254
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.679
This this is what you're focusing on. Well, it's it's

255
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.240
it's ahead of traveling season. He's trying to say, you know,

256
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.279
the airports are back to normal after the shutdown, and

257
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.679
let's all kind of work together and make the you know,

258
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.759
the traveling experience as good as possible. I just I

259
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.720
do find it ironic though, you know, when it's the

260
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.240
freedom the people that say freedom, freedom, freedom, are now

261
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:04.919
telling me how I should dress or what they think

262
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.799
I should dress. Like, I'm more libertarian on that on

263
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.440
that front where it's like, how about you let me

264
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.279
dress how I want to dress, It's not it's a suggestion. Yeah,

265
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:14.879
it's a suggestion.

266
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.639
I mean, as someone who has traveled a fair amounta

267
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.240
in the last month. Uh, you know, people dress like

268
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.759
shit when they're flying. I mean it looks like people,

269
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.080
you know, they're they're going to bed.

270
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.639
So going to Walmart at three am.

271
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.759
Yeah, I mean, look good, feel good, act good. I

272
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.679
mean I don't. I don't think it's you know, he's

273
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.200
not mandating what you can and can't do.

274
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.759
He's not mandating it because he can't and he knows that.

275
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.000
But he can certainly suggest it, and he can certainly

276
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.279
feel in his core that we all should be doing this,

277
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.639
and we should do that, and we should act appropriately.

278
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:57.120
Whereas I say, there is a direct correlation between the

279
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:01.919
softness of airline seats and the softness of travelers attire.

280
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.279
I don't think we started dressing like crap until the

281
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.799
seats on planes got really uncomfortable. So we decided, you

282
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.759
know what, I need some cushiony sweatpants on this plane

283
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.119
because they keep taking away the foam padding in the chairs.

284
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.279
When were plane seats ever comfortable in coach?

285
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:26.799
It's not that they were comfortable, it's just that they've

286
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.319
gotten less comfortable.

287
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.799
We've gotten less comfortable because they're smaller, not because of padding.

288
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.079
No, it's padding as well. They've done they've done this

289
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.640
like they'll they've they've made the seat smaller and they

290
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.119
decreased the padding on some airlines, so it's like it's

291
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.799
noticeably thinner. And I remember flying. I think the first

292
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.640
time I flew in a plane was eighty five. I've

293
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.720
never flown first class. I don't know. The closest I've

294
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.720
come is the big front seat on Spirit Airlines.

295
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:57.359
Uh.

296
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:01.240
While cushiony, it is not first clas on Delta or

297
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:06.000
American and it's certainly not you know, Emirates, So I

298
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.559
am very familiar with you know, the coach seats, and

299
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.519
I do know that they used to be more comfortable.

300
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:16.880
And he can't mandate to airlines hey make comfany your

301
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.720
seats either, So you're right, it's not a massive deal.

302
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.839
It's just a suggestion. But I don't like being told

303
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.920
what to wear and being looked down upon. I don't

304
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.440
like being told what to do at all.

305
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:35.680
Well, I don't think one has anything to do with

306
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:43.400
the other. It's judgment, that's what it is. Well, okay,

307
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:44.960
but that's not Sean Duffy's fault.

308
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.599
He's part of the problem the same way apparently you are.

309
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:50.920
Because you're looking at what people are wearing and you're

310
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.440
being all judgy and snooty and snotty and stuck up

311
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.960
about people wearing pajamas to the airport.

312
00:18:58.599 --> 00:18:59.680
Guilty is charged.

313
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.559
If I want to wear a snuggie on Spirit, then

314
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.359
goddamn it, I'm gonna wear a snuggie on Spirit because

315
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:07.640
that's the only thing that's gonna give me any sense

316
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.559
of life because I'm flying Spirit and all I care

317
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:16.880
about is wear shoes. That is universal put your goddamn

318
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:18.720
shoes on and lead and keep them on through the

319
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:23.759
whole flight. Yeah, I don't want your toes on my arm.

320
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:26.000
So in addition to the if you want us to

321
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.440
dress more comfortably, make the seats more comfortable, I actually

322
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.759
contend you can say, like passengers do wear uniforms to

323
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.839
a certain extent, you just don't recognize them. So like

324
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:39.960
you can tell the people that are going on vacation

325
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.400
based on what they're wearing. They're wearing the straw hat,

326
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:47.119
they're wearing, the Jimmy Buffett Margueritaville's shirt. They got the shorts.

327
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.160
That's probably swim trunks as well. There's your vacationers. You

328
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.599
can also tell who's traveling for work. You like, the

329
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.799
guy that Seann Duffy's describing their jeans and a decent

330
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.799
shirt could be a work traveler. I'll be what you wear,

331
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.119
Trey uh. And if there's a like a sport coat

332
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.519
blazer situation, definitely traveling for work. And then you can

333
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.559
tell who's planning on sleeping on the flight because they

334
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.559
have come prepared with their pajamas and the net roll

335
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:15.960
and basically just a human body bubble.

336
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.720
I mean let's not forget there once was a dress

337
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.279
code to fly mm hmm. And as that has decreased,

338
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:32.200
you have incidents of unruly travelers has increased. Now is

339
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.480
there a correlation, I don't know, but that is a thing.

340
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.480
I think that's the skank effect. Well, that's where a

341
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.799
lot of the problems come from. And a lot of

342
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:46.960
the problems have stemmed from unruly passengers because of alcohol

343
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:52.680
and or drug abuse mixed in, especially with people not

344
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.039
like I can't talk, people not like being told what

345
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:57.680
to do. There you go there, it is.

346
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:05.519
Yeah, because ultimately the one thing people really don't like

347
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:10.519
being told is to sit down and shut them up.

348
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.759
That's true, we don't like that, but sometimes.

349
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.359
It's needed for all of us.

350
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.640
Mm hmm. That's where all of us together. Yeah, that's

351
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.400
where the air marshal is supposed to step in.

352
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:25.319
There are no more air marshals.

353
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.240
See stop telling us these things. You've taken the fear

354
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:31.960
out of it, and now the pajama clad idiots have

355
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:32.640
run them up.

356
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.160
I feel like over the last couple of years the

357
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:40.119
no air marshals has become blatantly obvious.

358
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:43.400
It has, but I mean, come on, you need to

359
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.160
you need to pepper one in on occasion and light

360
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:50.079
somebody up that's dressed like a furry in business class,

361
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.440
just to set an example. So everyone knows there could

362
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:55.160
be one on this flight, so I should behave accordingly.

363
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:02.079
I mean, I don't know why we can't just give

364
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:03.680
the flight attendants tasers.

365
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:10.240
Yeah, you know, I mean on paper, that sounds like

366
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:15.599
a great idea, And when you're on the plane, it

367
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.880
kind of depends on which flight attendant has it. Because

368
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.799
some of them I'd be fine with that. Then there's

369
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:22.720
some where I'm like, oh God, please don't let that

370
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:27.519
person have a taser. That would be bad. It'd get

371
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:29.559
me wrong. I'm not gonna be the one getting taste.

372
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:31.759
I'm gonna I'm gonna get a good show. I'm gonna

373
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:35.599
get some good free in flight entertainment. So bring it on.

374
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:42.559
I mean, just just that sound. It's just but you

375
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:48.799
know what, it's kind of like crime in Texas. There's

376
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.000
a lot less why because you don't know who's armed.

377
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.319
It's true, it's just the possibility.

378
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.599
Yeah, if you just if you just opened up the

379
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.839
possibility that one of the flight attendant had a taser,

380
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.960
I think people would would would think twice.

381
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:09.759
The threat of retribution can be just as effective as retribution.

382
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:14.799
Itself and just one viral clip.

383
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.359
It's also why the stars at night shine so bright

384
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:23.039
in the State of Texas. It's because it's not stars.

385
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:32.000
It's because it's random gunfire. You're listening to the Treehouse.

The Treehouse Show on Patreon. Thank I have lost my

406
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:05.720
place because I was trying to remember where I wanted

407
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:08.920
to start today because there's so much good stuff the news.

408
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:14.200
Let's start with this. A school bus driver allegedly drove

409
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:19.720
students while drunk, but he says that's not true because

410
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:22.319
the smell of alcohol on his breath was actually Nike

411
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:35.599
Will Old school night Will. Huh. I'm not driving your

412
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:38.359
kids drunk around town on a school bus. I'm just

413
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:43.240
effed up on Nike Will, just sleepy. How dare you

414
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:51.599
accuse me of something so terrible? I've been driving these

415
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:58.839
kids around, you know, for years, and you're gonna that

416
00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:02.799
one actually kicked me right in the gut. Surprisingly, this

417
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.559
was not Florida. This is Maple Lake, Minnesota. The school

418
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:08.680
bus driver allegedly drove his students to school while intoxicated,

419
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.559
later telling the police the alcohol the students smelled on

420
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.559
him was from nik Will. According to documents obtained by

421
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:18.839
a local outlet, School Resource officer for Maple Lake Schools

422
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.240
was notified by his student that their bus driver smelled

423
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:24.000
like alcohol. I would like to I hope that they

424
00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:26.440
said bus driver smells like mommy.

425
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.799
I really do think that's got to be the second

426
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.519
visit you make is if you know how old? Did

427
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:40.400
it say how all these kids are? Elementary?

428
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.880
The officer contacted the bus company to do charging documents

429
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:50.359
multiple students, multiple students under the age of sixteen. Didn't

430
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:51.519
say how many students.

431
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:55.920
So, if you're a kid and you know what alcohol

432
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:56.559
smells like.

433
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.599
Through breath, not just whiffing it out the top of

434
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:08.920
the bottle, but mixed in with you know, human biology, if.

435
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.079
You can go, oh, Jack Daniel, single barrel.

436
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:24.720
The bus driver smells like my mom, Stanley or dad

437
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:29.839
or dad at football practice. Yeah, it's a bit of

438
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:31.599
a hint there. So he's in trouble. He's probably not

439
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:35.839
going to be driving kids around anymore, if ever ever again.

440
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:42.039
A woman filed for divorce because her husband decided he

441
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:47.279
was batman. I tell you, you show me a man with

442
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:49.880
a dream, and I'll show you a woman who wants

443
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:54.119
to squash it. The first month of married life for

444
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:57.599
this couple went smoothly, but then the husband started acting

445
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:03.400
completely unhinged. He would regularly roam the house in a

446
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.160
Batman costume, force his wife to watch Batman movies, insist

447
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.160
on being called Bruce Wayne, and disappear at night whenever

448
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.400
he saw lights in the sky that he believed were

449
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.440
the bat signal. The last straw came when the woman

450
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.599
woke up in the middle of the night to find

451
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.480
her husband in a Batman suit, standing in the dark

452
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.400
and speaking in a deep brooding voice. After that, she

453
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:28.880
packed her things, went to her parents' house and filed

454
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:32.839
for divorce. I say for richer, for poor sickness and

455
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:38.240
in health. Meet his superhero energy with your own. He's Batman,

456
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:39.880
You be wonder woman.

457
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:49.720
At least she didn't file assault charges on him.

458
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:58.599
Me. That may be the best double n taundured joke

459
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:01.680
slash punchline in the hit story of this program. And

460
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:12.559
I am including every iteration of it, Sir, I am

461
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:26.480
shook right, damn. Look, I don't know you know how

462
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.079
they say that I bet so and so is rolling

463
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.720
over in their grave. Well, I don't think you can

464
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:34.559
roll over in your grave if you've been cremated. But

465
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.279
I would like to think somewhere in a tube six

466
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.599
feet beneath the surface of a cemetery in Garland, Texas,

467
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:49.160
a little just occurred.

468
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:51.880
Man.

469
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.279
All I want to do now is stop the show,

470
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.640
go back and pull the audio and just listen to

471
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.559
it for the rest of the day, maybe the rest

472
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:14.319
of Black Friday, maybe the whole weekend. All right, well done.

473
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.160
If I was wearing a hat, I would tip it

474
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:17.960
to you. If I was wearing a cowl, I would

475
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:23.960
rip it off and go as it is a couple

476
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:41.240
more pieces of things to play with. The World's Strongest

477
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:42.920
Woman is a man.

478
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:45.759
A woman.

479
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:47.720
It's a man man.

480
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:53.400
That ain't no woman. It's a man man.

481
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.759
I love twenty twenty five. I know things like this

482
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:01.799
wouldn't make my heart happy, but they kind of do.

483
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:07.240
Jammy Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the

484
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:12.160
competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington

485
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:18.440
over the weekend. The Official Games took place number twenty

486
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.319
through twenty third in Arlington, featured hundreds of athletes across

487
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:23.960
multiple divisions and competitions, with one of the biggest ones

488
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:28.119
being the twenty twenty five World Strongest Woman Jammy Booker,

489
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:31.160
an alleged transgender athlete was the one who came out

490
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:36.039
on top. However, Jammy was disqualified after the competition, making

491
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:42.000
Andrea Thompson the overall champion, because it turns out Jammy

492
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.680
was born a man, and in the rules and regulations

493
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:50.880
for the competition it expressly states you have to compete

494
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.039
with the gender of your birth. I know this is

495
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:58.920
a hot topic in the world nowadays, and for some reason,

496
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:02.880
this is you know, split along political ideologies, like everything

497
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:06.119
seems to be these days. I have a simple solution,

498
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:11.119
and please Tray Jerry tell me if this is half cocked.

499
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:15.440
You've got the male division, you've got the female division.

500
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.160
And the controversy in these competitions arises when you've got

501
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.440
someone that was a man at some point, or was

502
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:26.599
born a man, transitions or is in the process of transitioning,

503
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:30.039
and then competes in the woman's side and just destroys

504
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:32.799
all the female competitors to take the top spot. Right.

505
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:36.400
I don't think there's any examples of a female's you know,

506
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.920
switching sides and dominating the men, at least not in

507
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:45.359
competitive sports. Can we just have a third category, just

508
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:48.480
have the trans category and let the trans athlete compete

509
00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:51.240
against themselves and if you know what, because and here's

510
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:54.839
the other thing to keep in mind, across the world

511
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:59.279
and competitions that happen every single day, the number of

512
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:04.039
trans athletes competing in the opposite division of their birth

513
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:08.039
is extremely small. So if you create a trans division

514
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:12.160
for these competitions, you may have absolutely zero people in it,

515
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:17.160
or you may have one. But at least that's the spot.

516
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:21.359
I feel like that's a compromise, it's a solution for everybody,

517
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:25.599
and we can get back to debating things that truly matter,

518
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:27.559
and that is whether or not to wear crocs on

519
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:28.599
an airline.

520
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:33.279
That has been proposed and soundly rejected by the trans community.

521
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:35.880
Because they want to They don't want to be seen

522
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:40.960
as something other than what they're wanting to be. Yes, well,

523
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:42.440
I mean at a certain point you just got to

524
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:43.240
face reality.

525
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:47.839
Well, I think everyone is entitled to be happy, and

526
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:50.039
I can't even imagine what it's like to be born

527
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:52.400
and not feel comfortable in your own skin and feel

528
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:57.759
like you want to be someone else. And but one

529
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.519
of the things, and quite frankly, it's one of the

530
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:04.759
things that is now, especially in the LGBT community, there

531
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:11.280
has been a trend of you know, because most most

532
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.559
trans people want to blend in. They want to be

533
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:19.400
seen as normal, not and and I think this is

534
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:21.800
an unfortunate deal of our age of the time we

535
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.280
live in that there are a lot of people who

536
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:27.320
want attention, but toss out the big one of the

537
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:29.840
biggest bullshit things of the last ten years was the

538
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:32.079
notion that there is no difference between sexes.

539
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.199
Yes, there is, everyone knows it absolutely.

540
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:39.880
And to say that, you know, oh, you know, you

541
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:42.519
grow you grow up as you know, a biological male,

542
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.360
and then you decide to switch, well, you still have

543
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:48.599
the benefits, especially if you're post pubescent, and quite frankly,

544
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:52.199
no one prepubescent. Really, kids shouldn't be making this decision.

545
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.679
You're you're you have the all the biological effects of

546
00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:59.800
being a male, which there is a difference, you know.

547
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.559
I mean good and bad by the way, absolutely.

548
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:08.159
But when it comes to the physical traits. Serena Williams

549
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:11.320
is the greatest female athlete ever and one of the

550
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:15.039
top athletes of all time. But you know when she

551
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.800
sat there and said, yeah, I would get smoked in

552
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:22.079
straight sex sets by you know, my male counterparts, you

553
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:23.960
have to know that there's a difference.

554
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:27.679
Yeah, she's not putting down her entire gender. She's just

555
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.760
speaking honestly about something that for the most part, well

556
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:33.760
basically kind of know. And I'll tell you this right now, Like,

557
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:36.199
I love it when like idiot sports guys or just

558
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:40.440
idiot guys in general say something as stupid as, oh,

559
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:42.639
I could beat Serena Williams in a tennis match because

560
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.599
I'm a guy, Bubba. But no, no, you couldn't. Joe Schlub, No,

561
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:50.239
you couldn't. You know, Andy Roddick, Yeah, he probably could.

562
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:54.599
Pete Sampras would probably beat you know, the Williams sisters.

563
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:59.239
I'm not. No, I'm not gonna beat I'm not gonna

564
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:01.920
beat the lowest see tennis player in the world on

565
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:04.800
the female side, I'm not. And so there are exceptions

566
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:07.000
to these rules. But at the end of the day,

567
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:11.519
when you're you know, talking about elite versus non and

568
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:15.039
just male versus female, yeah, come on, common sense common

569
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:18.360
sense can still be a thing without it being against

570
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:19.360
somebody's thing.

571
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:26.000
Sorry, but yeah, I saw you know. And the woman

572
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:32.400
who has now been declared champion, uh yeah, she walked

573
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:35.760
off the podium after this because she was you could tell,

574
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:40.320
just absolutely kind of disgusted and yeah, they worked their

575
00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:42.480
ass off for this and then all of a sudden

576
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:50.360
you get outdone by someone who has a biological I

577
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:52.199
just drive, yeah, thank.

578
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:58.079
You, you mean it, because look, and this is the

579
00:36:58.119 --> 00:36:59.480
side of the show that we have to bring up,

580
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:01.239
because this is this is what we do. We'll talk

581
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:02.920
about something kind of seriously, but then we have to

582
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:04.400
bring our own twist to stupid on it. And that's

583
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:06.840
what we're going to do here because I have these

584
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:08.519
thoughts and I'm sure other people do as well. When

585
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:10.920
you hear about a story like this where the world's

586
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:15.119
Strongest Woman wins, where the person that won the World's

587
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:18.800
Strongest Woman competition is a man, how'd they do that?

588
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:22.599
Has this person who was born a male that competed

589
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:25.239
in the female division of the World's Strongest Man? Have

590
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:28.239
they gone through the complete change? Has has the wiener

591
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.880
been extracted or is it still there? I don't know.

592
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:36.880
I don't know if you know how closely they're checking.

593
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:40.039
Are they giving physicals before they lift weights on stage?

594
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:45.559
But I know in these events they're extremely, extremely difficult, and.

595
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.280
I just wonder, like some of these athletes, like how

596
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:54.199
do you keep it contained if you're not fully switched

597
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:59.199
like when you do Like one of these events in

598
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:02.519
this competition was a log lift press, which is basically

599
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:04.559
I think it's like a like a clean and jerk

600
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:05.239
type of thing.

601
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.199
And so you're picking up the log like a dead lift,

602
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:11.119
and then you're kind of snatching it onto your thighs

603
00:38:11.159 --> 00:38:13.360
and then you're standing up and then pressing it over

604
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:17.079
your head. How do you keep your from flopping out

605
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:18.800
at some point during that heavy lift?

606
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:20.719
You never saw ace Ventura.

607
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:29.519
That's a hell of a top tray. Neither Einhorn nor Pinkle.

608
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.960
We're doing snatching cleans during the movie, basically just walking

609
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:38.639
around really tight legged gut tape. Then that needs to

610
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:42.280
be the next rog Man sponsor, because holy that's some

611
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:42.960
good tape.

612
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.559
It works for NASA.

613
00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:51.719
If it works for NASA, it'll keep your in place.

614
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.119
It's perfect marketing for all things Treehouse.

615
00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:03.880
Go to Treehouse on Air dot com. Oh now I

616
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:06.400

00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.719
has the duct tape crossed over his face.

618
