0:09
Speaker 2: It is time to leave your worries outside and life
0:13
Speaker 2: with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
0:17
Speaker 2: Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharman. Believe it was just a
0:25
Speaker 2: couple of days ago we discussed about the men's Olympic
0:30
Speaker 2: ski jumpers and the possibility of them injecting their wieners
0:38
Speaker 2: to fly farther during competition. Well, now that that story
0:43
Speaker 2: is wrapped around the earth three or four times with
0:46
Speaker 2: some left over, now they're starting to poke some holes
0:52
Speaker 2: into this situation. Olympian CAC person says crotchgate is utter ridiculousness.
1:05
Speaker 2: Two time Olympic athlete Casey Larson really wishes we'd all
1:09
Speaker 2: just forget about this. He's now a ski jumping coach
1:15
Speaker 2: and he spoke with News Nation and he's not loving it.
1:25
Speaker 2: He says, this is complete and utter ridiculousness. I, as
1:29
Speaker 2: a plugged in athlete for a very long time, have
1:33
Speaker 2: heard nothing about this. No, it's not happening. Well, that's
1:37
Speaker 2: exactly what you say if you just finished pumping up
1:40
Speaker 2: your wiener in a tent to get more drag on
1:42
Speaker 2: a suit so you could fly farther in the Olympics.
1:49
Speaker 2: He does go on to also say he did, however,
1:58
Speaker 2: speak of some of the controversy in the sport over
2:01
Speaker 2: the past year, likely referencing Norwegian ski jumpers variously and
2:07
Speaker 2: Johann Andre Forfarg that's a great last name Forefang, Yeah,
2:12
Speaker 2: who were found to have extra fabric applied to the
2:16
Speaker 2: seams of their uniforms during the World Ski Championships in
2:19
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. The material was discovered after an examination
2:23
Speaker 2: of the seams of their crotches after the event, and
2:30
Speaker 2: they all go on to you know, give more the science,
2:32
Speaker 2: like we did the other day, that an augmented suit,
2:37
Speaker 2: even just a couple of centimeters in the crotch area,
2:41
Speaker 2: can add close to six meters in additional distance when
2:47
Speaker 2: you ski jump.
2:53
Speaker 3: But also, who's going to tell their coach like, hey,
2:55
Speaker 3: check out my dog.
2:59
Speaker 1: Shoot up to.
2:59
Speaker 2: Show well, I mean, they have to measure these suits.
3:03
Speaker 2: So there's someone that's trying to find cheaters by measuring
3:08
Speaker 2: the amount of material on the suits, including the crouch areas.
3:12
Speaker 2: So if this picks up enough steam, does that mean
3:15
Speaker 2: that that team that measures the suits are also going
3:18
Speaker 2: to have to start measuring.
3:20
Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like the shirts. The suits are uniformly measured.
3:27
Speaker 1: They body scan everyone and they measure them to fit
3:31
Speaker 1: each person. Yes, why are we talking about ski jumping?
3:39
Speaker 1: It literally it's a sport that maybe five hundred people
3:42
Speaker 1: in the world care about.
3:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can't stop talking about it, and neither
3:47
Speaker 2: can the Internet look anything to get the ratings up
3:52
Speaker 2: or the Olympics or is it great? Is what?
3:56
Speaker 1: That's it? Or you're dick or that you know?
4:01
Speaker 2: They do say that the Olympics are a tental thing
4:05
Speaker 2: for NBC, so this is I'm sure NBC is loving this.
4:09
Speaker 2: They're going to try to ignore it to a certain
4:13
Speaker 2: extent to maintain some air of credibility and whatever, but
4:17
Speaker 2: they'll take the extra eyeballs. Speaking of which, I don't
4:22
Speaker 2: think it's any coincidence. Hang on, let me get this
4:25
Speaker 2: accurate here. I like to be accurate.
4:28
Speaker 1: Since when.
4:30
Speaker 2: Since always Trey. Unless I'm lying, I don't think it's
4:35
Speaker 2: any coincidence that we have all the swirling controversy about
4:40
Speaker 2: the possibility of men's ski jumpers injecting substances into their
4:45
Speaker 2: genitals to get extra fabric to fly farther in competition.
4:53
Speaker 2: I don't think it's any coincidence that on Saturday, Valentine's Day,
5:00
Speaker 2: that's the day that they are doing the men's Large
5:03
Speaker 2: Hill Individuals ski jumping competition.
5:08
Speaker 1: Here's what I think this is. We all know that
5:11
Speaker 1: the Olympic village is a big f fest, and I
5:14
Speaker 1: think the ski jumpers got together and go, hey, what's
5:17
Speaker 1: going to give us an advantage?
5:18
Speaker 2: That's right? And also it gave them an advantage in competition.
5:24
Speaker 1: Let screw the competition. They are like, you know what,
5:28
Speaker 1: what's gonna get us laid the most?
5:29
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I'm with you. I think that was the goal.
5:32
Speaker 2: And then and then they felt additional benefits once they
5:37
Speaker 2: went back to, you know, practicing. You're like, hey, this
5:41
Speaker 2: works on two levels.
5:44
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm saying they're not even doing it. I'm saying
5:46
Speaker 1: this is all made up just to get chicks.
5:51
Speaker 2: Oh, well, imagine their disappointment.
5:56
Speaker 1: Well, chances are, while they're already there.
6:03
Speaker 2: You're not wrong.
6:06
Speaker 3: You're gonna hear a lot of I thought it was
6:07
Speaker 3: going to be bigger. Should have seen it before the injection.
6:13
Speaker 1: No, wonder why you didn't win gold?
6:17
Speaker 2: Oh, you're a qualifier.
6:19
Speaker 1: I see.
6:22
Speaker 2: This this. Former ski jumper Casey Larson also said some
6:26
Speaker 2: athletes may push the limits of acceptable surface area, perhaps
6:29
Speaker 2: with their uniforms or gloves, but said it's not widespread.
6:35
Speaker 2: It's also an equipment based sport, which means that every
6:39
Speaker 2: piece of gear, skis, helmet, boots could have an impact
6:43
Speaker 2: on the link of a jump, and that sometimes puts
6:45
Speaker 2: a spotlight on the wrong elements. What is it they say,
6:49
Speaker 2: if you're not you're not cheating, You're not trying.
6:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're not cheating, you're not trying to win.
6:55
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I mean when you're when you're at this
6:59
Speaker 2: level of comp petition, every centimeter matters.
7:04
Speaker 3: That's a horrible philosophy. You're not cheating, you're not trying,
7:09
Speaker 3: says the cheaters.
7:14
Speaker 1: I think that I think that saying originated in NASCAR
7:17
Speaker 1: just to get really yeah, as some guys chiseling off
7:22
Speaker 1: a fraction of a centimeter on the hood for whatever
7:26
Speaker 1: additional bump and aero dynamics. Oh you know that comes
7:31
Speaker 1: from back in the day. I actually I think it
7:33
Speaker 1: was Richard Petty that said that. But when when stock
7:36
Speaker 1: cars were actually stock and you had they had a
7:39
Speaker 1: lot of range and what they could do to them
7:41
Speaker 1: to make them faster. Yeah, the gray area of the rules.
7:46
Speaker 2: Well, and honestly, that was at a time when the
7:48
Speaker 2: stock car racing was really really interesting because here's your
7:52
Speaker 2: stock car, and now what's up to you to make
7:54
Speaker 2: it go fast? And here's a few parameters that you
7:57
Speaker 2: have to work inside. And then they got really good
8:00
Speaker 2: at it, and they got so good at it that
8:02
Speaker 2: then NASCAR is like, Okay, we need to do some
8:05
Speaker 2: actual rules here because you guys are going crazy. And
8:07
Speaker 2: so they did that. But the tradition of finding ways
8:12
Speaker 2: to skirt the rules or just outright cheat remain, and
8:17
Speaker 2: then it's you know, it's kind of like they just
8:19
Speaker 2: get better at it.
8:23
Speaker 3: That it comes from NASCAR now makes sense.
8:26
Speaker 2: If you're if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Yeah,
8:28
Speaker 2: I think that's I think that's the exact quote. It's
8:30
Speaker 2: two eights.
8:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never seen I've never seen one NASCAR race
8:37
Speaker 3: in my life.
8:37
Speaker 2: Sure you have, no have you seen possibly, uh, Trey,
8:44
Speaker 2: how many laps are in a typical race?
8:46
Speaker 1: Two?
8:47
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen two hundred clips of NASCAR race?
8:51
Speaker 2: Raj Y like just in a bar see it up
8:54
Speaker 2: on TV and there's a clip and you just see it.
8:57
Speaker 2: I bet in your lifetime you've seen one race just
9:00
Speaker 2: wasn't all one raised. They were just together.
9:03
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you a single person's name or team
9:07
Speaker 3: or nothing.
9:08
Speaker 2: You know my name? You know one name from NASCAR?
9:12
Speaker 3: Who's that?
9:14
Speaker 2: You know? Dick Trickle.
9:20
Speaker 3: No, but that's a fantastic name.
9:23
Speaker 2: It wasn't Trery. Wasn't that the name from uh.
9:29
Speaker 3: Days of Thunder?
9:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, Days of Thunder? No, sorry, Cold Trickle.
9:34
Speaker 1: Dick Trickle was actual racer. And that was the joke
9:38
Speaker 1: of the old Sports Center with Dan Patrick and Keith Oberman.
9:43
Speaker 3: Dick Trickle.
9:46
Speaker 2: That's my bad. I got, I got, I got reality
9:48
Speaker 2: and Hollywood crossed up. Hollywood's like, we can't name this
9:52
Speaker 2: driver Dick Trickle. No one would believe it. So they
9:55
Speaker 2: named Tom Cruise's character Cole Trickle, and then lo and behold.
10:00
Speaker 2: A few years later, an actual Dick Trickle emerged onto
10:03
Speaker 2: the racing scene.
10:06
Speaker 3: And then into porn.
10:08
Speaker 2: Hey, you lay the groundwork in one industry as you
10:13
Speaker 2: build a second one down the light.
10:17
Speaker 3: I've been I've been invited to the NASCAR races at
10:20
Speaker 3: the Texas Motor Speedway.
10:21
Speaker 2: But I've never they're fun. They're fun races, man, It's
10:25
Speaker 2: it's at mm hmm.
10:29
Speaker 3: Yeah. I know a buddy of mine always runs an
10:31
Speaker 3: RV and goes out there for the whole time and
10:34
Speaker 3: they partied up and all that, and I've been invited
10:37
Speaker 3: to that, and I'm like, I will pass. I just
10:42
Speaker 3: can't just watching cars turn left all day. I can't.
10:46
Speaker 3: I can't do it.
10:47
Speaker 1: Oh, it's it is cool when you get in the
10:49
Speaker 1: stands and you know, you you can feel the cars. Uh,
10:55
Speaker 1: But it's the the event as a whole. The race
10:58
Speaker 1: For a lot of people, the race is second. Darry
11:00
Speaker 1: did the big party that takes place all weekend, gotch
11:03
Speaker 1: I mean we used to be part of a group
11:05
Speaker 1: that we rent like five RVs and basically take up
11:10
Speaker 1: this big section of campground. And I mean even to
11:14
Speaker 1: the point these guys literally went out there in the
11:18
Speaker 1: off season and poured the concrete so they could put
11:20
Speaker 1: the stripper pull in and then you know, big crawfish
11:24
Speaker 1: boil and it's it was fun.
11:28
Speaker 3: Oh, crawfish and strippers, That's the American dream.
11:33
Speaker 1: And raised a couple thousand dollars for charity in the process.
11:38
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm glad she made some money. That's good.
11:43
Speaker 2: Laugh all you want. But I went to middle school
11:45
Speaker 2: with a girl named Charity.
11:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went to school to a girl Charity in
11:50
Speaker 3: one with Chastity. That was That was my favorite one.
11:54
Speaker 2: I bet they had a good double feature at the
11:57
Speaker 2: Platinum Club. I will say the uh, the NASCAR events
12:04
Speaker 2: are a lot of fun I've had. There were some
12:07
Speaker 2: people that would really the race, like not even secondary.
12:11
Speaker 2: They didn't even care about the race. They would just
12:12
Speaker 2: go for the campground party on the infield stuff they had.
12:15
Speaker 2: The race was just whatever they might leave before the
12:17
Speaker 2: race even happened, just to beat traffic.
12:22
Speaker 3: Do you have to do you have to pay for
12:23
Speaker 3: the campground stuff?
12:26
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, it's not. I mean if for the actual sites,
12:31
Speaker 1: I forgot what it is. It's not. It's not terribly expensive,
12:34
Speaker 1: but I mean it's listen, people put out throw out
12:37
Speaker 1: a lot of money. I mean, and the RVs and
12:39
Speaker 1: everything else that go out there, and the setups. It's
12:43
Speaker 1: like I said, it's a it's a fun time.
12:46
Speaker 3: My buddy, my buddy Brut's been going twenty five years.
12:50
Speaker 3: He's been going out there every single year, and it
12:55
Speaker 3: says a blast, and I again been invited, and I.
12:58
Speaker 1: Just I don't know.
13:01
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you that you should go,
13:03
Speaker 2: but you know, if you've been invited that many times,
13:07
Speaker 2: it's an experience that you can add to your you know,
13:10
Speaker 2: not necessarily a bucket list item you may currently have,
13:14
Speaker 2: but you could just write it down then check it out.
13:15
Speaker 2: But hey, I did this thing, now now I know
13:17
Speaker 2: what it is, and maybe you get material out of
13:20
Speaker 2: it as well. That's think of it as a work trip.
13:25
Speaker 1: Raj okay, go out there for a night, have fun,
13:29
Speaker 1: get drunk, see a bunch of boobs, and then uh
13:33
Speaker 1: go for the start of the race, the pageantry, everything
13:36
Speaker 1: else to fly over when you feel when they fire
13:38
Speaker 1: up the engines and you can literally feel it, and then.
13:42
Speaker 2: Leave when they're all distracted.
13:45
Speaker 3: See this isn't in the stands. A buddy of mine
13:47
Speaker 3: has a box there, and that's what that doesn't sound
13:50
Speaker 3: like a lot of fun because I know he told
13:53
Speaker 3: me himself, like he goes just for the same thing,
13:56
Speaker 3: but everybody's watching it on the TVs inside the box.
14:00
Speaker 3: They're not even watching the actual phrase.
14:02
Speaker 1: Then pay for a cheap seat in the stands for
14:06
Speaker 1: the start, you know it won't be that much. And uh,
14:10
Speaker 1: like I said, feel, hell, you could just walk out
14:13
Speaker 1: there and in the stands, feel that it's really cool
14:19
Speaker 1: when they fire up the engines and you feel it
14:22
Speaker 1: because ah and steam go buy a couple of times
14:26
Speaker 1: it's cool. And then especially a Texas Motor Speedway, a
14:30
Speaker 1: lot of times you get one car that just checks
14:33
Speaker 1: out after about five ten laps. Take off if you're not,
14:39
Speaker 1: if you're not enjoying org and then go up to
14:40
Speaker 1: the box and eat and drink and be with the
14:43
Speaker 1: fancy people.
14:44
Speaker 3: Yeah.
14:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say this. Boxes are not as fun
14:47
Speaker 1: as being in the stands.
14:49
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they have a box at and T and
14:55
Speaker 3: I went and watched the game with them one time,
14:57
Speaker 3: and literally everybody is watching the games from inside the
15:01
Speaker 3: box on the TVs.
15:03
Speaker 1: That's my problem with AT and T Stadium and in
15:05
Speaker 1: general is especially if you're on the upper like third
15:08
Speaker 1: or fourth level, you're watching that big screen more than
15:10
Speaker 1: you are in the field. Yeah, this is I mean
15:13
Speaker 1: you went through a lot of trouble to go sit
15:15
Speaker 1: somewhere and watch TV.
15:18
Speaker 3: Yes, And I mean I went outside and I was like,
15:21
Speaker 3: I can throw I can literally throw a rock and
15:23
Speaker 3: hit deck in the head. That's how close I was.
15:28
Speaker 3: And everybody that even came outside was doing the jumbo tron.
15:31
Speaker 3: They weren't even watching the field.
15:37
Speaker 2: So that's what I feel like we're doing now, Turing.
15:45
Speaker 2: We're just watching Raj on the jumbo tron. But we
15:48
Speaker 2: can't understand a thing you're saying, Well, we can guess
15:58
Speaker 2: white people did something.
16:06
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse
16:10
Speaker 4: on air dot com.
16:14
Speaker 2: Let's get Daniel Cook from Cookdfwroofing and Restoration into the
16:17
Speaker 2: Treehouse eight three to three. Cook DFW is the phone
16:20
Speaker 2: number you will need to schedule your free roof inspection
16:23
Speaker 2: and property review. Daniel. I'm certain you've seen those inflatable barriers,
16:30
Speaker 2: the bubbles that people can activate to protect their vehicles
16:34
Speaker 2: during a hailstorm. Does that exist for a house yet.
16:41
Speaker 5: It's been talked about trying to see how they can
16:43
Speaker 5: make those, but I don't know if anything's ever going
16:45
Speaker 5: to be made like that.
16:47
Speaker 1: It would, but you know, even those ones for.
16:51
Speaker 5: The cars, if the hill is large enough, it can
16:54
Speaker 5: damage the car still after those are great for those
16:57
Speaker 5: smaller hell events that you just don't want those nuisance
17:00
Speaker 5: beings on your car, the pocket chains events, the large
17:05
Speaker 5: p size hell, you know, because it can still dent
17:07
Speaker 5: your car. You know, small hill's still damaging. I know
17:10
Speaker 5: there's a misconception out of there. We just had some
17:12
Speaker 5: small hell. We didn't get any damage. You probably did,
17:15
Speaker 5: you know, it just wasn't like things that you noticeable
17:19
Speaker 5: can see after a large hell event like the one
17:21
Speaker 5: that just went through here in Collin County, North Colin
17:23
Speaker 5: last September. Well, they knew they had damage because they
17:26
Speaker 5: had windows blown out, garage doors, had hits on them,
17:29
Speaker 5: looked like someone had shot them. You know, everybody's windows
17:32
Speaker 5: are broken out in their cars, so then they know
17:35
Speaker 5: they had a large enough event. But as far as
17:38
Speaker 5: your total home protection, there's not going to be any
17:41
Speaker 5: kind of force filled or large balloon that you probably
17:44
Speaker 5: are going to be able to put around your home.
17:46
Speaker 5: So you just need to make sure that you hunker
17:48
Speaker 5: down and you get that checked out as soon as
17:51
Speaker 5: possible to make sure you don't have substantial leaks that
17:53
Speaker 5: are going to be forming really soon after that storm.
17:56
Speaker 2: And he brings up a great point, and that is
17:58
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter this side of the hail that falls
18:01
Speaker 2: during the storm, because after the fact you need to
18:04
Speaker 2: have that roof inspected to see to make sure that
18:08
Speaker 2: there isn't any damage, because even if it's a small
18:11
Speaker 2: piece of damage, that can grow over time and turn
18:14
Speaker 2: into a massive problem even from a small hailed event.
18:18
Speaker 2: So give Daniel and this team a call after severe
18:21
Speaker 2: weather eight three three Cook DFW or that website cookdfw
18:25

Speaker 2: Daniel Cook a call today eight three three Cook DFW.
18:48
Speaker 2: That's eight three three Cook DFW or the website Cook
18:51
Speaker 2: dfw dot com. We were talking earlier about the men
19:00
Speaker 2: ski jumping at the Olympics, and I mentioned it the
19:03
Speaker 2: other day. It's like, I feel like I hadn't seen
19:05
Speaker 2: this much stuff about the Olympics on the news or
19:07
Speaker 2: on social media. Well that's been sold over the last
19:09
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. Now I'm getting hit with lots of
19:11
Speaker 2: stuff and that's a lot of fun. And as we know,
19:14
Speaker 2: the Olympics are fraught with drama, but one Norwegian biathlete
19:20
Speaker 2: took it to the next level during a live post
19:23
Speaker 2: race interview when he actually confessed to cheating on his girlfriend. Yeah,
19:33
Speaker 2: so he wins a bronze medal and then he goes
19:35
Speaker 2: on TV to talk about post race and he says,
19:37
Speaker 2: I want to think he turned the volume bell. Little
19:41
Speaker 2: bits I translate here because I now speak Norwegian. I
19:47
Speaker 2: think the lactures for a great day of And there's
19:55
Speaker 2: one person I want to share this with who may
19:57
Speaker 2: not be watching today, but six months ago I met
20:03
Speaker 2: the love of my life. It's a wonderful person in
20:07
Speaker 2: the world. And three minimalist I used to make my life.
20:13
Speaker 2: And cheating that's all I've been thinking about for a week.
20:20
Speaker 2: It's been the worst week of my life. So I
20:26
Speaker 2: had a gold medal in life. Many people out there
20:31
Speaker 2: now see me in a different light. I only have
20:34
Speaker 2: eyes and I'm not quite sure what I want to
20:38
Speaker 2: say here now. So he won a bronze, but this
20:43
Speaker 2: is going to cost him some gold.
20:45
Speaker 1: Go bang a figure skater and shut up.
20:49
Speaker 2: Go find a real problem.
20:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, go find five foot of crazy.
20:57
Speaker 2: And spitting.
21:00
Speaker 3: Only that kind of ballsy. I give him credit for that.
21:04
Speaker 2: Well, the cheating was ballsy. The weird thing about about
21:10
Speaker 2: a cheating situation is, especially if you're in the public
21:13
Speaker 2: eye like this guy is. I don't know if she's
21:19
Speaker 2: not taken him back or what the situation is. Was
21:22
Speaker 2: this a last ditch effort for him to show her
21:24
Speaker 2: how much he cares about her and be like, please
21:27
Speaker 2: take me back. I'm so sorry. Sure, I mean, I
21:30
Speaker 2: still went through with this race and got a bronze medal,
21:32
Speaker 2: but I was only thinking about you so much so
21:35
Speaker 2: that I'm now going to tell the world what a huge,
21:38
Speaker 2: massive mistake I've done, even though I didn't check with
21:42
Speaker 2: you to see if that's okay, because not everyone wants
21:46
Speaker 2: this stuff public.
21:47
Speaker 1: Well, I would guess. I mean, we're talking about Norway,
21:51
Speaker 1: so he's probably a star in Norway, where this might
21:56
Speaker 1: have been in some kind of you know, page six
21:58
Speaker 1: type thing there, and you know otherwise where we couldn't
22:03
Speaker 1: tell you who are when her athletes were for left
22:05
Speaker 1: nor money.
22:06
Speaker 2: Most Americans couldn't even tell you what a biathlon is.
22:10
Speaker 1: So uh but is that? I mean, I feel like
22:17
Speaker 1: he's trying to like kind of flog himself in front
22:19
Speaker 1: of the world to get her back and I just
22:21
Speaker 1: I don't think that's probably gonna work. I don't think
22:25
Speaker 1: adding adding more spotlight on your transgressions is the way
22:29
Speaker 1: to get her back.
22:30
Speaker 2: You don't think embarrassing her. You don't think embarrassing her
22:33
Speaker 2: further on, not just you know, national stage, but international
22:40
Speaker 2: stage is gonna do is gonna be the thing that
22:43
Speaker 2: gets her back?
22:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think so, because I'm sure the problem.
22:47
Speaker 1: You know, in Norway everyone knew. Now the world knows.
22:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he also said she wasn't watching. So like
22:55
Speaker 2: what he said, he didn't know if she was watching.
22:59
Speaker 2: But on the off chance that she was, partly because
23:03
Speaker 2: maybe somewhere deep down she hopes that he's successful, or
23:07
Speaker 2: maybe also partly she's watching just to see if she
23:11
Speaker 2: can catch him cheating on her again somewhere in the
23:13
Speaker 2: background of a race.
23:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, even if she wasn't watching, one of her
23:18
Speaker 1: friends was, oh, yeah, there's always there's always a friend.
23:25
Speaker 2: It's kind of like it's kind of like in court,
23:27
Speaker 2: you have the court stenographer. The court stenographer is like
23:33
Speaker 2: the friend, and they will report back as to what
23:37
Speaker 2: you have done, what you've said, all of it.
23:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, maybe one of the family members that
23:44
Speaker 3: he was talking about that he thanked. Maybe they're friends
23:47
Speaker 3: with her as well. You gotta go watch, because on
23:51
Speaker 3: a global stage he was so sorry, he.
23:53
Speaker 2: Cried, I know, I mean, sure he thanked the waxers,
23:56
Speaker 2: but then he went right to you and said, you know,
23:58
Speaker 2: he really screwed up.
24:01
Speaker 1: If we're talking about this a podcast based in Texas,
24:07
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure Norway is a buzz about this.
24:11
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Scandinavia is all hot and bothered by it.
24:18
Speaker 2: Do you think that going on international television after winning
24:23
Speaker 2: a bronze medal in the biathlon admitting to cheating is
24:28
Speaker 2: gonna get her back? No?
24:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know. It depends on the girl, Like
24:39
Speaker 3: she could be five feet of crazy, Like you know what,
24:42
Speaker 3: that was perfect, he he apologized on national on international TV.
24:48
Speaker 2: You're right, maybe maybe maybe what she needed, maybe what
24:51
Speaker 2: she wanted was a grand gesture.
24:55
Speaker 1: I generally feel like one of the big things with cheating,
24:59
Speaker 1: and especially with women, is the embarrassment of it. And
25:04
Speaker 1: so I don't think going public is going to do
25:06
Speaker 1: yourself any favors, especially when you.
25:09
Speaker 3: Kind of also mm hmm. Yeah, so he embarrassed himself
25:14
Speaker 3: as well her. Yeah, and they can be embarrassed together
25:22
Speaker 3: in love.
25:22
Speaker 1: Now, maybe she puts them in the cutchair and watches
25:25
Speaker 1: the long jumpers banger.
25:30
Speaker 3: I don't know that's punishment right there for sure, but
25:34
Speaker 3: their giant injected penances.
25:38
Speaker 2: Just a whole mountain just lined up. The ski lift
25:41
Speaker 2: after ski lift after ski lift, next one, next one,
25:43
Speaker 2: next one.
25:44

26:44
Speaker 2: All right, uh so, now that we got Olympics stuff
26:46
Speaker 2: out of the way, let's go back to one of
26:48
Speaker 2: the biggest stories of the week. The numbers are in
26:53
Speaker 2: from Super Bowl sixties halftime show. Bad Bunny's performance landed
26:58
Speaker 2: at number two all time with one hundred and twenty
27:01
Speaker 2: eight million viewers and a possible federal investigation. So take that,
27:07
Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar. United States Congressman Andy Ogles is demanding an
27:15
Speaker 2: investigation into Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, which he
27:19
Speaker 2: described as pure smut, and he's also concerned about the
27:26
Speaker 2: widespread torking some stories I wish I was making up
27:32
Speaker 2: and this is actually one of them. Congressman Ogles, a
27:37
Speaker 2: fifty four year old Republican from Tennessee, called for a
27:39
Speaker 2: formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC
27:45
Speaker 2: immediately for their prior knowledge, deliberate approval, and facilitation of
27:51
Speaker 2: this indecent island in the oh wait, sorry, this indecent broadcast.
27:56
Speaker 2: That's what he's upset about. That was on Monday, February night.
28:00
Speaker 2: He says American culture will not be mocked or corrupted
28:04
Speaker 2: without consequence. He also added children were forced to endure
28:11
Speaker 2: explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and
28:16
Speaker 2: bad Money shamelessly grabbing his crutch while dry humping the air.
28:21
Speaker 2: And if that weren't outrageous enough. Their performance's lyrics openly
28:25
Speaker 2: glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities. These flagrant indecent
28:31
Speaker 2: acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways. And
28:36
Speaker 2: I am left wondering which Super Bowl halftime performance did
28:39
Speaker 2: he see? Because I feel I feel like I need
28:42
Speaker 2: to go back and rewatch this to see, like, Okay,
28:44
Speaker 2: what did I miss?
28:46
Speaker 1: I want to know how he knows what they're saying,
28:50
Speaker 1: because I don't believe I find just questioning that to
28:54
Speaker 1: begin with.
28:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that was sort of the main problem
28:58
Speaker 2: with a bunch of people with the halftime shows. They
29:00
Speaker 2: were pissed because it wasn't going to be in English
29:03
Speaker 2: and they wouldn't understand it. Well, there's a benefit to
29:08
Speaker 2: things not being in your native tongue is maybe you
29:10
Speaker 2: won't understand it, so that way you may not be
29:13
Speaker 2: offended by it. But whatever. In a letter, a strongly
29:19
Speaker 2: worded letter written to Brent Guthrie, the Chairman of the
29:22
Speaker 2: Committee on Energy and Commerce, Ogels pointed out specific points
29:26
Speaker 2: of contention with Bad Bunny's performance, which aired live on Sunday.
29:30
Speaker 2: He criticized Bad Bunny for performing his song so Farah,
29:33
Speaker 2: which the congressman said includes references to an lingus sexual
29:37
Speaker 2: intercourse and other explicit themes. I seriously got to go
29:41
Speaker 2: back and rewatch the halftime show with the close captioning on.
29:44
Speaker 2: He also referenced the choreography during your perio sola obviously
29:48
Speaker 2: I don't speak Spanish, which he said featured overtly sexualized movements,
29:52
Speaker 2: including widespread twerking, which you were doing it right, working is,
29:55
Speaker 2: widespread grinding, pelvic thrusts, and oh and others sexually suggestive conduct.
30:02
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
30:07
Speaker 3: Did I I got none of that?
30:10
Speaker 2: I mean I did I notice some some crotch grabbing. Yeah,
30:14
Speaker 2: but you get that during a normal football game. And
30:18
Speaker 2: and some of it wasn't like as direct crotch grabbing
30:22
Speaker 2: the way that we grew up watching Madonna and Michael
30:25
Speaker 2: Jackson do. It was more kind of like on the sides,
30:29
Speaker 2: It's more like the groin area, you know. And I
30:34
Speaker 2: didn't really see any actual torking, like what's oferking?
30:40
Speaker 1: I mean, God bless them for it. It made you know,
30:42
Speaker 1: if you didn't understand the lyrics, at least you kind
30:44
Speaker 1: of understood that.
30:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, you understood the show. You're like.
30:48
Speaker 1: Hot hot Latina chicks dancing. Okay, yeah, I there's always
30:54
Speaker 1: got to be one that's got to turn it, turn
30:56
Speaker 1: it into a fucking circus.
30:57
Speaker 2: And I just now I'm wondering maybe what happen and
31:00
Speaker 2: was as he's watching the halftime show with the goal
31:03
Speaker 2: of being outraged and titillated and you know, angry, maybe
31:08
Speaker 2: he looked down and it was like, uh oh, I'm
31:12
Speaker 2: visibly turned on and and Mama sitting next to me
31:15
Speaker 2: just saw it, which means now I have to do
31:18
Speaker 2: something to fix this.
31:21
Speaker 1: I mean, there's always got to be one that's gonna
31:25
Speaker 1: try to make a name for himself. I mean, because generally,
31:28
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the response to Bad Bunny
31:33
Speaker 1: was gonna be the same thing from people whether they
31:37
Speaker 1: watched the show or not. People were gonna say, oh
31:39
Speaker 1: my god, I loved it whatever, even though they may
31:41
Speaker 1: not have understood a fucking thing. And the same side
31:44
Speaker 1: as they didn't see it and they're like, oh my god,
31:46
Speaker 1: it's an abomination.
31:47
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:48
Speaker 1: But then I think, after all, you know, that virtue
31:52
Speaker 1: signaling went away. Everyone's like, okay, whatever and move on.
31:57
Speaker 2: This is a halftime show.
32:00
Speaker 1: And at a certain point, it's like, okay, it was fine.
32:03
Speaker 1: It really there there was I mean, you know, we
32:08
Speaker 1: didn't see Janet Jackson's teet, so who cares, it's still
32:16
Speaker 1: gonna be.
32:17
Speaker 3: He's just trying just.
32:20
Speaker 1: Then, he's just trying to make a name for himself.
32:22
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate you like Trump.
32:24
Speaker 3: Trump released the statement the next day as well, where
32:27
Speaker 3: he's like, kids were forced to watch It's almost verbatim.
32:30
Speaker 3: Kids were you know, there were children at home that
32:32
Speaker 3: had to watch these women gyrating.
32:34
Speaker 2: And you know, it's not like you got a bunch
32:37
Speaker 2: of you know, five year olds with clockwork orange goggles
32:40
Speaker 2: on with their eyelids peeled up being forced to watch this.
32:44
Speaker 2: That's not the case.
32:45
Speaker 3: Just yeah, So he was just you know, he's just
32:49
Speaker 3: trying to be in the same spotlight with.
32:53
Speaker 2: And and and that's and that's we try to stay
32:55
Speaker 2: away from some of this type of stuff. But at
32:57
Speaker 2: the end of the day, it's like Trey said, it's
32:59
Speaker 2: rich really not a big deal. And really what happens
33:03
Speaker 2: is with these culture war situations is you make something
33:07
Speaker 2: a bigger deal than it actually is, and in doing so,
33:12
Speaker 2: you put a brighter spotlight on it, and at the
33:18
Speaker 2: end of the day. That doesn't do anything positive for anybody.
33:24
Speaker 1: Right, Members of Congress are the shoe salesmen of politics. Yes,
33:30
Speaker 1: they're fucking worthless. They run every two years and either
33:34
Speaker 1: they have a cushy gig and they will just get
33:36
Speaker 1: reelected as long as they run, or else they have
33:39
Speaker 1: to make a name for themselves. And this is both sides,
33:42
Speaker 1: all of them. Oh yeah, and they they just do
33:49
Speaker 1: some of the dumbest stuff to keep their name in
33:52
Speaker 1: the news cycle.
33:54
Speaker 2: And they're not even good shoe salesmen. It's not like
33:56
Speaker 2: they're selling good shoes at like the Nike outlet or something.
33:59
Speaker 2: These are like the like the shoe salesman at like
34:02
Speaker 2: Kinney's in the mall in the eighties.
34:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, when they want to start addressing their insider trading,
34:11
Speaker 1: let's talk, yes.
34:14
Speaker 2: Or an actual problem that Americans have.
34:17
Speaker 1: No fuck it, I want an insider trading. Let's talk
34:20
Speaker 1: about congressional insider trading and how they're all millionaires within
34:24
Speaker 1: a couple of years.
34:27
Speaker 2: On board with that, I would love that.
34:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there is a fund that mirrors Nancy Pelosi's
34:34
Speaker 1: trades and it's always up.
34:37
Speaker 2: It's it does phenomenal the returns on it are insane,
34:44
Speaker 2: but widespread torking and Andy Ogles from Tennessee has a
34:49
Speaker 2: problem with it. Honestly, you know what, I take it back,
34:54
Speaker 2: do the inquiry. I would love to see a nationally
34:57
Speaker 2: televised congressional inquiry about a Super Bowl halftime show. Please
35:04
Speaker 2: put your stupidity on display.
35:07
Speaker 3: And I hope that Bunny answers every question in Spanish, which.
35:12
Speaker 2: He is legally allowed to do, or he doesn't answer
35:17
Speaker 2: the subpoena because it was in English.
35:20
Speaker 1: No, even I hope, I hope this. This would be
35:24
Speaker 1: the ultimate indignity for I hope he pleads the fifth
35:28
Speaker 1: in Spanish.
35:34
Speaker 6: Thinkle mm hmmm, sinkle thinko all he keeps saying, hey, hey, Sinkle.
35:47
Speaker 2: Maybe I could just be his new song. God. Oh,
35:54
Speaker 2: This is where I would typically say, you know what,
35:56
Speaker 2: it's good that we don't have serious problems that we
35:59
Speaker 2: get to worry about stuff like this, But we actually
36:02
Speaker 2: do have serious problems and we're being distracted by nonsense.
36:06
Speaker 3: Eh. Yeah, that's the that's the case. That's what they
36:10
Speaker 3: want to do. They want to keep you distracted from
36:12
Speaker 3: the actual problems that are happening.
36:14
Speaker 2: So here's the shiny object to make you mad, don't
36:17
Speaker 2: pay attention to all the other bad stuff over here.
36:20
Speaker 3: And I didn't see any gay pornography or whatever it
36:25
Speaker 3: was one of these other senators is trying to say
36:27
Speaker 3: now as well.
36:28
Speaker 2: And I saw like I saw, like very briefly in
36:31
Speaker 2: the performance.
36:31
Speaker 1: I saw I saw two guys look like they were kissing.
36:35
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if I saw that, but
36:37
Speaker 2: I did see two guys like they were pretty close
36:39
Speaker 2: to each other and they were obviously dancing on each other.
36:42
Speaker 2: But they didn't even show them from the waist down.
36:43
Speaker 2: It was from behind like a car door. But I
36:46
Speaker 2: did catch my eye. I was like, I think that
36:48
Speaker 2: was a couple of homies there. And then maybe one
36:50
Speaker 2: other time in the performance, but it was nothing so
36:53
Speaker 2: in your face, and I was like, hey, that's inappropriate.
36:59
Speaker 1: It is. It is amazing that everyone gets so worked
37:03
Speaker 1: up over a twelve minute show that is in the
37:08
Speaker 1: middle book ended by twenty two men at a time
37:14
Speaker 1: trying to kill each other.
37:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all watching these men get permanent brain damage.
37:26
Speaker 2: But you know, someone shook it too vigorously.
37:30
Speaker 3: Yeah. But also, I mean, like when you're in the
37:32
Speaker 3: quarterback and you're not enough in the backfield. You're up
37:36
Speaker 3: under somebody's junk, and so that should be that should
37:40
Speaker 3: be morally confusing for.
37:41
Speaker 2: That guy as well. I wonder if that's why they've
37:44
Speaker 2: gone to more shotgun sets in modern football. At someone
37:49
Speaker 2: at some point they're like, you know what, me and
37:52
Speaker 2: Jeff aren't close enough for me to get in there.
37:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, the center's got to be like very comfortable with
37:59
Speaker 3: his sexuality. Yea, go ahead and put your hands under there.
38:08
Speaker 2: The center is an amazing position in the NFL, so
38:12
Speaker 2: much responsibility falls on you other than the quarterback. The
38:16
Speaker 2: center touches the ball more than anybody and touches his Yeah,
38:24
Speaker 2: and typically, and typically the guy on the field with
38:27
Speaker 2: the biggest hands is the quarterback.
38:33
Speaker 3: I mean they zoomed in. Uh, I can't remember its
38:36
Speaker 3: first second quarter, but they zoomed in, and I was like, man,
38:39
Speaker 3: that is you gotta be good friends. You've got to
38:44
Speaker 3: be so close.
38:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're you're you're inviting each other's kids
38:49
Speaker 2: over to birthday parties and stuff. And also there's there's
38:55
Speaker 2: that relationship between quarterback and center that's called the silent count.
39:02
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well he just slaps him on the butt.
39:05
Speaker 2: No, No, that's obvious. Now. The silent count is when
39:08
Speaker 2: you get under center and your hands go under and
39:11
Speaker 2: you decide to do silent count. And what silent count
39:14
Speaker 2: means is the quarterback's going to thump the center right
39:16
Speaker 2: on the nut, and that means give me the ball. Yeah.
39:22
Speaker 2: I don't know if maybe they've updated it in modern times,
39:25
Speaker 2: but that was how that was how they did it
39:28
Speaker 2: in you know, my day of football, and that's why
39:31
Speaker 2: I didn't want to play center.
39:33
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh. And also calling it a silent count, it's
39:37
Speaker 3: also like saying, hey, man, keep quiet about what I
39:39
Speaker 3: just did. You will shut the fuck up.
39:47
Speaker 2: Yeah. And that's the thing too, It's like you kind
39:49
Speaker 2: of know when the play is coming because you don't
39:51

40:00
Speaker 1: Try.
40:00
Speaker 2: Did they teach it that way where you went to school? Yeah, see,
40:06
Speaker 2: it's just it's a non thump and go. That's what
40:12
Speaker 2: they should call it.
40:14
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I don't know about thump as more as
40:17

Speaker 2: feelings and show him the doll. This is where Drake
40:56
Speaker 2: touched me.

40:59
Speaker 1: off and you have slams himself through tables.
41:03
Speaker 2: He's not loving life. That's trauma reaction. That's trauma response.
41:09
Speaker 2: That's him working through his issues.
