The Dildo of Consequences | Friday July 25, 2025 · The Treehouse Show Podcast

• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Trey Trenholm and Jerry Caldwell. Today is Fred Day, July
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth, twenty twenty five. We are at the end
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of the week. I hope you've had a good week.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: If so, we're gonna make it better. If you've had
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a bad week, Yeah, we're gonna make it better. We're
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: gonna make it all better inside the treehouse.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do that by belittling one man's grand idea.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I love this headline.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: A Texas man moved to Russia for traditional values and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: was promptly sent to the front lines of.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: The Ukraine War.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's just I just it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Makes my heart swell. It really does, Derek. That sounds
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: karmic in some way. Derek Huffman thought joining the Russian
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: military would be a shortcut to citizenship in a way
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to earn respect in his new homeland. The Texas father
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of three uprooted his family for a fresh start in
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Putin's Russia, drawn in by promises of traditional values, conservative
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: culture and a welding.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Job, but not war.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Now he's facing Ukraine's front lines. After just three weeks
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of rushed training, he joined Russia's military under false promises
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that he'd serve as a mechanic.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Or war correspondent.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Instead, he was placed in a foreigner filled unit heading
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: into combat. His wife says he feels like he's being
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: thrown to the wolves and is pleading on social media
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: for his reassignment, while also reporting the family.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Has not received any of his pay or bonus.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Their journey was backed by Putin propagandist Tim Kirby's American
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Village Project, which targets disillusioned US conservatives looking to flee
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: woke America. But Huffman's case exposes the harsh reality behind
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the propaganda, broken promises, financial strain, and front line danger. Now,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: like I said, this is a foreigner filled unit, so
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: he's not alone. Over five hundred foreign nationals have died
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: fighting for Russia crazy, from welder to soldier, from Texas
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to a trench in Ukraine. The Huffman family is now praying.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: For a miracle and a way out.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: New news is if he lives, you got a Disney
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: movie on your hands. Bad news is well hopefully obvious.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Don't move to Russia. Kids don't trust Putin? Why do
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I have to say these things?
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Wow? When did when did he move? When did this happen? Uh?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Let me look, let's see it was three weeks of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: rushed training. I don't see specific dates on this story.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming though, that it was after the war with
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Ukraine had started.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, because it's been going on for a while,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it's not exactly brand new.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: This is where history can be such a valuable teacher
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: of how Russians treat their soldiers. Yeah, I mean, there's
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: there's literally over a century of data that says Russians
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: have very little regard for their soldiers.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Does it say, hold, as gentleman, was he is forty six,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: which is a great age to go to war.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I'm turning forty six in a few months, and I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: have a hard time getting out of bed, let alone
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: out of a trench, or let alone out of the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: way of a grenade blast.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: And you know, even even during the draft days, the
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: United States military would not take you at this age.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: That's right, But the Russians happily will go. Look at
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: what Putin does to his friends that get on his
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: bad side. They remarkably end up dead.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, remarkably and in very unmysterious circumstances. Yeah, Like, it's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: amazing how many of Putin's friends are so suicidal?
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, or stumble upon you know, radiation.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, who hasn't stumbled upon radiation while
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: walking the dog?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: It's truly, truly fascinating.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at a different story here. I don't see
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a date of when he moved his family to Russia,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure this is recent because every news
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: story I'm seeing is within a few days of each other.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: That, you know, it's so let's see the war. I mean,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it's been with the last what's up. Hell,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: we're going on three years now, probably of that. M Yeah, brilliant,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: thanks for leaving Texas.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the confused wife claims that even after a month
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of service, so he's been in service for just over
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a month.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I'm still fascinated though that this part of the story
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: is well fascinating. He's a forty six year old man
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: who has no prior military experience. He underwent training in
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a language he does not understand, and was promptly shipped
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: off to fight on the front lines.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: But under the pretenses that he might be a war
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: correspondent and he doesn't speak Russian.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Look, there were signs that not everything was on the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: up and up. He just clearly could not read them. Nah,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I will say this, I will say this and I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and I don't say this lightly. The dildo of consequence
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: rarely arrives lubricated.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: That was deep, man, So was it?

• 7:27
  Speaker 2: The tree House is open. Let's grow.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I did something the other day that I would never
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: ever have recommended had I not experienced it for myself.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: The baby day at Alamo Draft House.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: You heard him a strap on?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: No, No, I'm talking about the baby day at Alamo
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Draft House.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Are you?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Are you guys aware of this? At Alamo draft House,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the movie place.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: I don't wear a baby day.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I was not either until the other day. So every
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: show so at Alamo Draft House, every show before two
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: pm on Tuesdays is a baby day screening with adult
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: movies in a baby friendly environment.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I had no idea this existed.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: We didn't know what it was until we saw it
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: on the ticket that we had already purchased online when
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: we purchased a ticket to go see a movie on
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Tuesday because we wanted to go get good Alamo Draft
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: House popcorn and I wanted and Tara wanted to see
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: them the Superman movie. Okay, she really What really happened
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: is she just wanted really good popcorn and was fine
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to see a movie.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: That's how that works in my house. And I wanted
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: to see it again.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So we went to the middle of the day showing
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday at Alamo Draft House to Superman so she
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: could get some popcorn, and it turns out we're surrounded
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: by babies. Had no idea, didn't know this was a thing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Didn't know it was a thing until we read it
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on the ticket itself. But every show before two pm
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: on Tuesdays is a baby day, screening adult movies in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a baby friendly environment. According to the Alamo Draft House website,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: when you're a parent with a little bundle of joy
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: at home, it's really hard to find the time to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: see an adult movie. Rather, it used to be really hard,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: because Baby Day is back at Alamo Draftthouse. Keep in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: mind that the whole premise of the Alamo Draft House
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is that it will kick you out if you are allowed,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't care who you are.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: It kicked out Madonna.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why Alamo Draftthouse became a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: national chain because the og location kicked Madonna out of
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a theater because she was being unruly, and everyone said,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that's the theater I want to go to, because if
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: they'll kick out a loud Madonna, they'll kick out anybody.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So anyway, they've now created a safe space for you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to take your baby to the movies. And I gotta say,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: we sat through a two hour Superhero movie surrounded by babies,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and you know what, they were better behaved than adults
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: are in movies these days.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: Not surprising.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Not a gamble I would be willing to take.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And normally I'd agree with you, Trey, but these days,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: going to any movie with other humans is a gamble.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And I will say I have had way more movies
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: ruined by adults than I have babies. Don't get me wrong,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: babies have ruined a couple of movies here and there.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But leave it up to an adult to just ruin everything.
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: Any special menu items or concessions or anything.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Nope, just teara with her. Alamo Drafthouse popcorn with popcorn
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: salt and real butter. And we've looked, We've looked around.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: She is the Indiana Jones of movie popcorn. Alamo Draft
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: House has, without a doubt, the best movie popcorn.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: On the planet.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I can agree with that, well, at least in North
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Texas area, because that's where we've looked so far.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: But now they actually say so again. And this is
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: this is not an ad by the way, for Alamo
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Draft House.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: They technically still the foundation money from screenings we did
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: there years ago. I'm just surprised that this whole thing exists.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: A period b exists at a movie theater known for,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you know, making things quiet for the movie going experience.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: So they're carving out of space, you know, for adults
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that take their kids bankruptcy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: You'll change a fella, It's right, it really will.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you're open to kids.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they say, Baby Day is all about giving parents
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the chance to see growing up movies in a baby
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: friendly environment. They keep the lights a little bit brighter
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: so you can find their favorite binki in the diaper bag.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: The sound is a little bit lower so they can
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: snooze right through the film. And this is true because
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I saw Superman at the theater on Saint Thomas before
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: we came to Texas, and that is not.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: A good theater.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: That is, that's just not That's the only theater within
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: forty miles that doesn't have water separating it. So that's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: my only option, not a great theater. If I could
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: compare it to a movie theater in the States, it
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: would be whatever your favorite movie theater was circ in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. Okay, Okay, So seeing it in a
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: state side theater the other day, the sound was definitely lower.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It wasn't terrible by any stretch of the imagination. I
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: could just tell it was a little bit lower than
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: what I had seen, you know, previously, but still very manageable.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised by that. So anyway, they
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: keep the brights, They keep the lights a little bit brighter.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: The sound does a little bit lower, and they don't
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: kick out anyone for crying because you know, babies. So
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: just keep that in mind if you ever feel like
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a Tuesday matinee at the Alamo Draft House because you're
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get babies.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I would think if if I were like a
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: urology or stuff, that I would be handing out, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: half price to the sectomies if you were somehow got
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: stuck in that hell.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: Said, I don't get kicked out for craying because babies, yeah,
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: or parents yeah, for that matter.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: If I walked into a theater full of babies, I
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: would just literally just ask what hell is this?
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: And you might you might welcome a vessectomy right there
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: on the spot.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I would probably I have been on the fence about
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: getting one that I am quite sure would be the
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: catalyst that just you know, pushed me over the snip.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And ironically, you'd walk into a movie theater and use
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the famous movie line, cook me big.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, don't eve worry about the anesthesia, just get in there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Or back to a previous subject, now talked about the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: million dollars no sex. You walk me into a theater
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: full of babies, I'd like give you the money.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Show me the money.

  Speaker 1: from Nike, just do it. From Wendy's back in the day,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the Three Old Ladies.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Saying where's the beef subway? Eat fresh?
• 15:01

• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I'll give you, I'll give you a little time to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: think about it, Okay, because right now it's time for
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Little Caesars to enter the chat with their all time
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: ad slogan.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: According to this that I saw the other day.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: This was a Yelp review for Little Caesars, and it's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. This is the action movie Yelp review for
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Little Caesars. A man named Kevin s posted his Little
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Caesar's Yelp review and it goes like an action film.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: He says, stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: get a six dollars pizza and ended up in a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: this furious dude barges in, yelling about how I cut
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: he throws a punch, but then out of nowhere, the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: guy behind the counter at Little Caesars jumps over it
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and beats the living hell out of the guy. The
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: guy runs off, and the cashier just dusted himself off.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I said, are you a kaman?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And he looked at me dead in the eye and said, bitch,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready five
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: stars will absolutely return.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: Awesome.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I just just I've never thought about taking an ad
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: slogan and turning it into an action movie equip But
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: by god, bitch, we always Hot and Ready sounds really
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: really good.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it if that was waffle House,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, yeah, okay, I could totally see it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: The difference is there is they would use the spatuel
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: at the waffle house.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Because they're like the waffle house chefs.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the waffle house cooks are armed to the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: teeth and they know how to throw all those things.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: By the way.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It is great, though, when I go through and think
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: about all the other great ad slogans and think, Okay,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: how many of these would work in this same scenario,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and they could still use the ad slogan right after
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: they just beat somebody up like it's an action film.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, Nike, just do it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: That kind of fits. Make it your Way, Burger King,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: you know something along those lines.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Actually, ano that I'm looking at some of these they
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: look like Subway Eat Fresh, Kentucky Fried Chicken. It's finger
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: licking good McDonald's. I'm loving it. These actually don't sound
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: like action movie equips. This sounds like porn.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Stuff takes a licking and keep it on ticking.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: See what I mean.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: I like Wisconsin Tourism Departments latest slogan, what's that come?
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: Smell our dairy air?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, I believe we've stumbled across something because the Little
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Caesars ad had worked for an action movie quip. But
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: in reality it really does sound more like a like
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a porn slogan BMW the Ultimate driving Machine. Man.
• 18:29

• 20:52
  Speaker 1: have a porn sounding Patreon slogan.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I'll come up with something at some point.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: So here's a headline that had me thinking one thing
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: but turned out to be something slightly different than I expected.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: A surf instructor had her arm ripped off when she
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: was clipped by an Amtrak trained with no warning. The
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: reason why this stood out to me was because just
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the other day Trey and I were waxing poetic about
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: our train rides.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: In our lives.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: We have not had any, but the ones we've had
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: were all magnificent, very enjoyable, a very pleasant way to travel.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And we've ridden the train in the Pacific Northwest a
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: couple limes, going from Seattle to Levenworth, Washington, and part
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: of that trip when you're going Seattle north to Everett, Washington.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: You're actually out over the water, You're over the ocean,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and it looks like you're just doing the train tracks.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Over the water. There's seals, there's bald eagles, all these things.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: And so when I saw that headline, I thought, did
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: some idiot surf instructor on a surfboard get clipped by
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: a train that she somehow didn't see. Not exactly.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Turns out this is when she was trying to carry
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: her e bike across the train tracks and she didn't
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: do it quickly enough. But she still swears it's the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: train's fault.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Her name is Aleiah Boyd. She's twenty four.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: She said she was in complete disbelief to look down
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and see her arm was missing, because it had been
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: ripped off after being hit by an Amtrak train while
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: she pushed her e bike across the tracks. Now, she's
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: very lucky in the sense that she found the arm
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and it was only, you know, several feet away, so
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it was able to be reattached. So she's very lucky there,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, except for the part that it was torn
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: off in the first place. She says there was no
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: train horn she says. It was like three seconds from
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: when I saw the train to when it happened. She says,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I just happened to have my hand still on the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: bike as the train goes by. The train barely clipped
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the bike just enough to take.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: My arm completely off. I'm going to go.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Out on a limb here and say that it barely
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: clipping is not appropriate here.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: If it rips off your.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Arm, I mean, well you have the whole you know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Superman stronger than a locomotive of the big, big, big
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: fast deal things.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: It doesn't take much to rip off an arm.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: No, No, it's.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: I feel like we're missing some information here. Well, I
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: just had a crossing, didn't see the train coming, I mean.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: She says, there was no horn, which, by the way,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I've again, I've been on an Amtrak train. When it
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: approaches those intersections and things, it makes a sound and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure if that's the conductor doing it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: It might be automatic, I don't know.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: And I'm sure you can see it coming from quite
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: a distance, regardless of whether it's a rural or urban setting.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, trains don't just kind of out of nowhere. This
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: isn't back to the future. She says this happened just
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: before five point thirty pm on July seventh, that she
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: was pushing her eighty pound electric bike across the train
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: tracks in Ventura, Ventura, California. Miraculously, a retired firefighter had
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: been walking with her at the time and called paramedics.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: She was airlifted to uc Rvine Medical Center, where she
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: underwent a grueling ten hour surgery to reattach the limb.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I'd like to point out that the grueling ten hour
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: surgery isn't grueling for her, she's asleep.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: It's grueling for the doctors.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: She still has a further two surgeries scheduled, but said
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: she already has some feeling back in her arm, So
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in one sense, she's lucky. In another sense, she might
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: be a huge moron.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: My first question is why not ride the e bike
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: across the t You know, I could be a more
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: efficient way, But maybe I just of all the words
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: that would come to mind if my arm got ripped off,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: disbelief is not one of them exactly.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I think I'd be really aware of what's happened and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: how and why.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Did did did I forget it? Did I leave it
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: at home? What's yeah.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm in disbelief if I can't find my car, keys.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: My arm.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, if I've if I've misplaced that
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the things have gone sideways today. But then again, you
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: can always track those things with those those Apple air tags.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: You know what, probably if perhaps that phone, that arm
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: was holding her phone, you don't even need an air
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: tag there. You go find my eye arm.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: And you know what the most twenty first century thing
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: would be in that scenario is you look down and
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: realize your arm is gone and your arm was holding
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: your phone, and you tell the people around you, quick
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: grab my phone.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: It was hold a meaning to the phrase keeping it
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: at arm's length.

  Speaker 1: is fifty eight today. Roger Clinton is sixty nine. That is,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: of course, the brother of President Bill Clinton. But he's
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a pretty big name in his own right because he's
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the star of Biodome, Spyhart and Pumpkinhead two Blood Wings.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's difficult for parents to be
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: proud of both their children, but in this case, good on.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: You Pumpkinhead too.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: That's that's solid.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, it's like, yeah, you know, you
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: know Bill was president, but you know, Rogers in a movie.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Franchise, and Roger didn't have to put up with Hillary,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: so I think he won.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's I think that's probably the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: conversation he has with Bill every Thanksgiving. David Bowie's Bowie
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: David Bowie. Yeah, David Bowie's widow Imon is seventy.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Sci fi fans would remember her as the shape shifter
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Martya in Star Trek six The Undiscovered Country Trey.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I remember.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I know you're a Trek guy. Were Were you a
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: fan of the movies as well? Are you more of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: a just the TV show? Because I know you're a
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: big Star Trek next Generation fan.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: I know I like the movies. I think I was
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: pretty young when the first one came out, but especially
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: the first one I distinctly remember was The Wrath of Khan,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: which I think that was two.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, And I'm with you.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: That movie scarred me because the opening of that movie
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: has Cardo Montalbon putting the whatever alien creature bug thing
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and that dude's ear, and as a kid who had
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a multitude of ear problems.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I couldn't handle that. That just wigged me the f out.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: I was like, holy, mister Rourke is from jack.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: See there in lies the age difference. I didn't understand
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: that at the time.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: I didn't.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand who that was for a few more years.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: But uh, but yeah, I like and a mom was
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: actually one of the original supermodels.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: That's true, very very true. Other let's see what any
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: there were good birthdays today?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Manny Charlton from Nazareth. Oh no, wait, sorry man, he's dead.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Sorry if you've found if you just now found that.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Out, that's my apologies for being insensitive. From Earth, Wind
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: and Fire. Verdine White is seventy four, still alive.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Biggest hits include Shining Star, got to Get You Into
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: My Life, Sing a Song, September, Boogie Woogie, Wonderland, After
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the Love Is Gone, and Let's Grooves.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: I will always say that one of the to me,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: one of the more underrated bands of all time. They've
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: their hits, just they still I don't care September. I
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: don't care where you are you play that song. I
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: don't care what age, group, anything else. People will people love.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: It, People make babies of that one.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: September.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: It's just a feel good like, that's just a happy song.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's a you know, a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: testament to a band success is that not only the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: music you released at the time, but decades later it
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: holds up. That's amazing because there's plenty of bands that
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: we know that we may or may not have enjoyed
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: at their peak, but I mean ten years later and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh god, what was I thinking.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Limp Biscuit, Yes, yes, some Fred issues Dan.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do, because I mean I was down
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: with the nookie at one point.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: But here's the crazy thing. You say that they were
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: just on tour and sold out, like they sold out STARplex.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: People are still angry, you know why, because they never
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: got that cookie. By the way, if if TIFFs, Treats
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: or Crumble is not sponsoring the Limp Biscuit tour, that's
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: a huge missed opportunity.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: I'm just like I was. There were and gen Z
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: people were going to it. I'm like, again, it's kind
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: of like some of the things you'll like, we all
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: regret being limb Biscuit fans. It was a moment, but
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: it's not something we're proud of Why are y'all doing it?
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Because I I'm quite sure, although I have not seen
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: one ounce of tape, I am quite sure fred Durst
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: has not aged well, nor has his music.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: No, and maybe the reason why they can't have the
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Crumble or TIFFs Treats sponsorship of Limp Biscuit is because
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: maybe fred Durst has eaten all of them and not
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: shared any I would also like to throw out that
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the gen Z stare, but
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: if I see gen Z bragging about their attendance at
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: a Limp Biscuit show, They're gonna get one from me.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it has a lot more meaning, it's not
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: just a blank look.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, there's there. There's hate in my eyes.

  Speaker 1: With news that should come as a surprise to absolutely
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: no one.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Deep Elum is full of crime.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: According to the story on Fox four, Deep Elum closing
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: at midnight. Property owners demand the city take action against crime.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Just now. I think it's been an issue forever.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: No Deep Ellum businesses and property owners are calling on
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the City of Dallas to take dramatic action after a
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: series of violent incidents. To put it bluntly, they believe
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the area is no longer safe after midnight. Oh, just
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: like all of our parents said. And they're proposing closing
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: all businesses at midnight unless a business can justify a
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: special use permit.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: And this is how it started twenty years ago. It's
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: about to happen again.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: This is a cyclical thing.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's starts with this and then the
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: city's gonna do what they did before. They're gonna slap
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: you know, a zoning overlayover it, overlay over it, kick
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: out all the businesses, make you reapply, clean it up.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: It'll be good for ten years, and then it'll revert
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: right back to its old self. Yeah, I mean, it's
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: right before yea. I think it was. In twenty eighteen,
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Deep Elam was doing so well and so popular that
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: it was being talked about as replacing Austin as the
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: music capital of Texas.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Mm HM and den Deep Bellam deep Ellamed.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Yep, which is another way of saying people go to
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: people well.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: And it's funny the property you know, talking about property owners,
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: the same thing is. And now I will say there
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: was one wrinkle in this and it was COVID. But
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: property owners get greedy. They'll least two crap clubs bars.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: I mean there's one bar down there now I will
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: not say it's name, but it is minting money, minting money,
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: but it's also the source of a ton of crime
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: and problems and so and it's just like before. The
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: business owners that are making all this money, they don't
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: want to pay the extra money for extra security.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just in the month of June there were three shootings.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Honestly, that seems kind of low.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: The president of the Deep Elam Foundation, John Hetzel, shared
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: a video from social media that showed a man running
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: after another man punching him. It's a scene that's become
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: all too common and Deep Elam, he says, Deep Elm
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: is an absolutely amazing neighborhood during the day and in
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the dinner time, evening hours. I take my five and
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: two year old down there on a regular basis.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: I office here. I love this neighborhood.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Until we see some real policy change, it's not going
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to be safe in the late night hours, and that
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: would be a shame for the entire region to lose
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: this district as a nightlife district.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: He's not wrong there.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: More specifically, the property owners want the city to shut
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: down all deep Eleum businesses at to change the behavioral
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: patterns of non patrons coming down here with their guns
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: late at night, making it scary for patrons to come
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: to the neighborhood and then also doing violence.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Hey listen, I was down there for a concert a
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: couple months ago, and it's not I think the concert

  Speaker 1: AT friend was in town and wanted to meet up
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: in deep Ellam to say hi. Fortunately the place we
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: were going to was on the very corner edge of
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: bad deep Ellum area. But even then we knew, all right,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: it's ten o'clock time to get out. Time to go,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: and the next morning on the news, I think it
• 38:58
