Dallas is Great for (Fetish) Dating | Wednesday 10.02.24 · The Treehouse Show Podcast

• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Trade Trendhome and Jerry calledwell, today is Wednesday, October second,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. I actually forgot to even mention it
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: yesterday on the show, but damn, it's already October. We
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: feel like we just started September. But here we are
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of October. It is no longer too
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: soon to put up your Halloween decorations. Get him out,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: get him on, let your freak flag fly.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: If you haven't bought any, you better go get them
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: this week because they're already starting to put Christmas decorations out.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: For as much as we make fun of the Halloween
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: decorations starting to make appearances in the middle of this summer,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: like I think we started seeing them in July, make
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: fun of it all you want, but that's actually the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: time you got to buy them, because if you don't.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The early birds, like Tara and I used to be,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: we will buy that stuff immediately because we know we
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: can't wait because other people will buy them and then
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we won't have anything left to have new in the yard.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: So the best time to buy decorations is actually at
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the end of the right, Like in a couple of weeks,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you can go to Home Depot like a bunch of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: different stores that sell that stuff, and now it's on clearance,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: so you're just buying for the next year.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And that is absolutely the best time to do it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: The downside is all the really cool things are already gone,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like the twelve foot skeletons. When those first came out,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I don't even think they made it into September. They
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: were sold out. They were sold out the following year
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: online they didn't even even make it into the stores.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But every year, especially at Home Depot and Lows, will
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: have those new animatronic things. There's always a new handful
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: each year at Spirit Halloween as well. Anytime the Eagle
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: feels like coming back from a previous format, there's a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Spirit Halloween just waiting outside anyway. But you've got to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: be early because those cool things are gone early. At
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the end, though, there are some good deals to be found.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: That's where you can pick up some extra skeletons, lights,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: things like that, so you can get a good deal
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: on those for the next year.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: But you guys, decorate a lot out there on the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: island for Halloween just a little bit.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: We do have our house in Saint Thomas. Has Tray's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: been there so he knows when you're coming up our
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: very steep hill because it's mountainous there. There's this rock
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: wall that is just beneath our driveway that our house
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: sits on because it's on the side of it, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: mountain basically, and it's like a two level, a two
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: tiered rock wall. On the first tier is technically where
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the cistern is I'm sorry, not the cistern, but the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: poopy tank is over there, and then next to the road,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it's just a level area. That's where we put these
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: skeletons in the folding chairs in front of like a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: little campfire kind of thing. And so I think this
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: year we're putting up maybe like a spider and a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: spider red behind there. Nothing to the extent that we
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: did when we've lived in North Texas. No competition there. Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it's you just don't get as much stuff because we
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: do have a home depot and they have some animatronics
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: running power and stuff like. That's kind of a pain,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: especially when our power situation isn't so good. So we
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: have a tendency to go more rustic with the decorations,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: so less on the lighting, less on the electrical pole,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and more just you know, skeleton kind of things. Anyway,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it is time to put up here Halloween decorations if
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you are so inclined. And when we lived in North Texas,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: we started I think it was mid September. We would
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: start putting stuff out just because it kind of ramp
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it up because we had a lot of stuff, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: then we'd pretty much be done by the beginning of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: October and it'll be up for the month. Anyway, get
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that done and no one's going to look at you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: sideways now. Although we did drive through Highland Park the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: other day and did see the dual twelve foot skeletons
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in somebody's front yard off of Mockingbird.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: That was.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: As if Highland Park doesn't flex enough as it is.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Were they the animatronic type of course motion activated? Were
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: they like talking to each other?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: That I don't And it was actually they were that type,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but I didn't see them in action. It was the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: middle of the day and I'm not even sure if
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: they were plugged in, but they were they were just
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: watching traffic, just watching traffic go bye. Yeah, So it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: out there. We did see some decorations start popping up
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: early here and there, and then occasionally you think, are
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: come on, it's too early for that. But it depends
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on how much you're going to put up. If you're
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: putting up a lot, then you need to get ahead
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: start because it can be time consuming. And I don't
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: think Trey, you're not a big Halloween person, so I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: think the most Halloween decoration you're doing is just that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: black backdrop behind you.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: All right, quick question. This really isn't an addition of verses,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: but I guess now that I'm thinking about it, maybe
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a bad one. You guys want to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: do a quick opening show versus?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Sure, Sure, there we go. What's versus?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It's a great question, Jerry, Welcome to Verses where I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the host of verses. I'm going to, well, well can
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you Jerry and Trey as contestant number one and contest
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: number two to verses where inside the treehouse, I will
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: ask you a question and you have to it'll be
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of competing nature versus. Okay, and you have to give
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: me your answer? Are you ready sure? Would you rather
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: be single in Dallas or Fort Worth? Would you rather?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: This is versus? Would you rather be single in Dallas
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: or Fort Worth? I'll give you a moment to think
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: about your answer. By the way, if you're curious, fetish
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Finder are the very kind people behind this survey of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the best and worst cities for dating in North America. So, Trey,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I will start with you, would you rather be single
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: in Dallas or Fort Worth?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Well, being single in Dallas for decades has gotten me
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Jack squad. I'm gonna go fort Worth.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You know what. I There is no right or wrong
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: answer on versus. It's more of just a conversation starter.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But honestly, you you earned the bell. There's that's excellent
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: logic on your part. Jerry. What about you? If you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: had to be single in Dallas or Fort Worth? Which
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: city are you going to be single in?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Absolutely? Dallas?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And why is that?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: There's more of my kind of people here? They're you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you know, if you've got fetishes, Dallas as a much
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: better place to go.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring that up because fetish Finder did
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the survey and found the top ten best cities to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: be single and the top ten worst cities to be single.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Where do you think Dallas and fort Worth fell a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: worse on either list?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think Dallas is so far down on the
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: list fort Worth. I bet you fort Worth is up
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: there as far as good or bad.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Oh on the on the bad list. Oh, actually that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: is correct. As far as the worst cities in the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: United States for dating, according to Fetish Finder, fort Worth
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: ranked sixth number one New York, number two, Los Angeles,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: number three, Philadelphia, for Chicago five, San Antonio six, fort Worth.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Uh. You was surprised by all of those except fort Worth.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was interesting how the fort Worth. You never
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: see fort Worth on lists for anything when it comes
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to cities ever, So I feel sorry for fort Worth
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that they got kind of dumped on on this one.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: The survey sites low likelihoods of marriage and high divorce rates. Honestly,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: when the force rates, I would have assumed Dallas would
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I was up there. But it turns out that Dallas
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is the third best city for dating in the United States,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: despite the poor track record of our very own trade.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Trenhme, what are one and two? What are they? What
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: do they say the best two what beat out Dallas?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear this.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Number two was Denver and number one is Seattle. Is yeah,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: by fetish finding Now, I don't think they they they
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: didn't rank this stuff by fetishes unless.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm sure they're surveying their members, though.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: They're probably are, look having just spent a lot of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: time in Seattle. If you have a super roof fetish,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that really would be the top city to go to,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: or if you're a lesbian.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: You can you can be.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Both at the same time as as well as you
• 9:58

• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I am, And what have you found? Well? It is
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: a website apparently where you can create, sell, view, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: purchase fetish videos and pictures. Oh and I was just
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: scrolling here through their categories and right up at the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: top twelve toes, six toes, nine toes.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Are you interested or are you thinking you just found
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a new income stream?
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: It's an unusual amount of toes. I'm sort of taken
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: aback by. It's like, are we looking for people that
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: only have twelve total toes or twelve toes on one foot?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: It is?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Actually the website is called fetish Finders. Maybe that's one
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of those. Instead of you going to the website to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: find your fetish that you already have, what if, in fact,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it pairs you with the fetish after a short survey.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I just sent you all a text. That's not something
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I can say on the on the broadcast, but.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I I think I think
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: he does have an account. I think you just put
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in the right keyword and yeah, he'll he'll pop right up.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: And I just want to say, under this twelve toes category,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: everybody here has the normal amount of toes.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of a let down. That's advertising. What
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: is sexual about having twelve toes? Clearly I may be
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: asking the wrong room here, but.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: What's sexual about toes in general?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Solid point?
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I mean never mind.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like some people just see it as if it's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: an appendent. No matter how big or small it's, it's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: it should be licked.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I guess that needs to be on a T shirt.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: We could sell those on fetish Finder.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: These twelve toes won't lick themselves.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I've tried, and you can get pictures of that too.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: All right, so we just so. Fetish Finder did the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: survey the best and worst cities in the United States
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to be single. In the criteria that they used, how
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: many single people live there, how likely is marriage, what
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the divorce rate is, how many people are actively seeking
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a relationship. And then there's the more mundane criteria, what's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the quality of life the cost of living. The study
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: also used data from the Census Bureau, Very Sexy, Google,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: keyword Planner, and Numbio. The best city was, in fact Seattle.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Dallas ranked third. The worst cities for dating New York
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: was number one, and our very own. Fort Worth cracked
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the top ten at number six worst city to be
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: single in according to Fetish Finder in San Antonio two.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I think san Antonio just sucks for a lot of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: reasons for people. I mean, I've enjoyed my time there,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: my wife and gauge there. I like San Antonio, but
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: some reason it's I don't know if it's the water
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: or what, but it always seems to get pooped on
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in this date I will I am curious about this.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: When you guys were like, because Trey, you're still single, Jerry,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you're in a relationship. It's been a long time since
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: since I've dated, and I know things have changed a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: lot in that decade and a half. I know, as
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Southerners there are certain dates that do not apply to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: us that will occasionally see in movies and television, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: maybe you know somebody from up north where they'll have
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: different date ideas, one of which is apple picking. I
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: remember this. I think it was in an episode of
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Friends and I've when we were in Seattle and also
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: in Michigan at times. I remember seeing signs for places
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you can go and pick your own apples, which some
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: people think that sounds fun to me, that sounds kind
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of awful, but like, just in general, let alone as
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a date idea, and someone actually put together an impressive
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: list of why they say apple picking is the worst
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: fall activity. But if you guys ever done anything like
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that on dates?
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Is that?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: What did you ever say, Hey, let's go to Michigan
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and pick apples?
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Mmm?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, I didn't think so. But here you have
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: eleven reasons apple picking is not actually a fun activity.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Number one, you're doing work. There's a reason people get
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: paid to do it. Number two, there's ritting fruit all
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: over the ground. Yeah. Number three the bugs. Number four
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you'll get lost. Orchards have massive apple mases. That's kind
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of funny. You could actually maybe instead of a date
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: at an apple orchard, that's where you could break up
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: with someone and just leave them there.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Get them up on the ladder while you're holding it
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: down on the ground and be like, you know what
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: we're done, I'm out.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I'm really sick of you. Number five, the more apples
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you pick, the harder it gets, so that makes sense.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Number six mud if it's rained in the past twenty
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: four hours, you don't want to do that. Number seven
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the crowds. Number eight, the photos are really not that great.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Number nine. You'll end up with more apples, then you'll
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: know what to do. At number ten, every grocery store
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: has apples, so why are you making it a whole thing?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Number eleven, The store out front is the best part
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: as opposed to actually going in and picking them. I've
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: never wanted to do manual labor as any part of
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a fun activity.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: No, and I just it didn't work for Adam, It's
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: not gonna work for me.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: That's an excellent point. I also think that, you know,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: apple picking is an absolute northern thing because the Southern
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: version is not going to be is widely accepted because
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: we don't have apples here, we do have cotton, and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone wants a fun activity to be
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: told to them is like, hey, you want to go
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: from Carton.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: That totally took a turn for me. That is nut

  Speaker 1: Well, you know, sometimes you grab the steering wheel and
• 18:07

• 20:24
  Speaker 1: but we talked quite a bit about the Titan sub
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: last year after it imploded, and then over the last
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: week plus the Coastguard has been holding hearings trying to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: figure out, trying to get to the bottom of what
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: exactly happened to Ocean Gates Titan submersible as it made
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: its two mile journey to the bottom of the Atlantic
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: trying to look at the tight trying to look at
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the Titanic wreckage, and instead became its own wrecking site.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: We've learned over the last year that it was piloted
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: by a game controller. We also we learned last week
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: that one of the contractors that was removed from the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Ocean Gate team had basically had some whistleblower situation going
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: on because they had said, hey, this is not a
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: this is not a safe thing. You shouldn't be doing this.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: There are certain things that you're doing that you should
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: not be doing. And then through some of these other
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: hearings were also finding out other interesting facts about the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Titan sub from Oceangate. For example, one ocean Gate whistleblower
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: said he had no confidence in the development of the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Titan sub. Well, okay, now, the implosion happened in twenty
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: twenty three. This is David Lockridge. He's the former director
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: of Marine operations for Oceangate. He said he was known
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: as a trouble maker in the tourism and expedition company
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: because he was so outspoken about his safety concerns. In
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, that's when he was hired to work in
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the operations for Titan. Ultimately not involved in the development.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: He said he was phased out after butting heads with
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the ocean Gate CEO Stockton Rush, one of the five
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: people who died in the implosion. When asked by the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Marine Board of Investigation for the US Coast Guard if
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: he had confidence in the way that Titan was being
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: built in twenty seventeen, Lockard said no confidence whatsoever, and
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I was very vocal about that, and I still am.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: One of the things he had concerned about was the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: submersibles carbon fiber hull, including imperfections. After he said, the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: CEO asked him to inspect it. We also found out,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: according to this guy, that the CEO of Oceangate liked
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to do things on the cheap and had the desire
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to get the tight and had the desire to get
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to the Titanic as quickly as they could to start
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: making a profit. He said a lot of steps were
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: missing along the way, and at one point the CEO
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: through the game controller at this guy's head.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: That's a gamer for you.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And then there was This is one of my favorite
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: headlines to come out of these hearings about the Ocean
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Gate titan sub. Years before the implosion, the CEO told
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: passengers to brace themselves during a time. Sorry, he told
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: them to brace themselves for a loud noise. It's not
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: just brace themselves in general. But still, it's just amazing
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: all the red flags that are coming out about this
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: thing in this hearing that everything points to why in
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the hell would you get in that sub? And not
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: only that, as soon as you spent two hundred and
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars for this trip to the bottom of
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the ocean, and you see just a few of these things,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: how the hell do you think you're getting what you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: paid for?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I just always go I just always go back to
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: this little factoid. The United States military a submarine probably
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: costs about a billion dollars. Okay, we have like four
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: types of subclasses. One of them is called the Sea
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Wolf class. It it goes the deepest, and depending on
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: who you ask, but generally it'll only go to about
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: twenty five hundred feet oh okay before a billion dollar
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: sub and then after that you're you're nearing crush depth.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: This thing was going to what twelve thousand feet?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, something like that. Six times six times deeper,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: yeah than that.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: A nuclear US military nuclear submarine probably not safe.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Just that out there, and you said that's the Sea
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Wolf class. Uh huh, Yeah. I don't feel comfortable if
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you're trying to tell me that you're going to take
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: your Xbox class submersible deeper than a US Navy Sea
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Wolf class nuclear submarine.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting on that f and sub especially when
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: their navigation charts were an Excel spreadsheet.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: And depending paper. Don't forget about that, Jared, Sorry, pen
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and paper and the Excel spreadsheet. Guess I'm guessing because
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: they couldn't get word to update. It doesn't even sound
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: like they even bothered with a power point.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Too costly, right.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Actually, from some of what we're reading about these hearings,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I think you may be right. But yeah, according according
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: to these hearings, in a dive that took place years
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: before the titan subs doomed voyage of the Titanic, the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: CEO warned that there would be loud noises, according to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: one of the passengers, and to brace themselves for them,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: she said. He told us to be prepared for noises.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: He had recently done a solo dive in his own
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and basically just said, this is gonna make noise, so
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: brace yourselves. I don't really want my sub making a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: lot of noises.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: No, that's a nope. And that's not just because I
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: saw a hunt for Red October a bunch. You gotta
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: wonder what their brochures looked like. I think it was.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I think it had clippy the clip art in the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: lower reded corner.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: It was probably like City of Dallas where they just
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: had the wrong thing. They probably had a picture of
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: a boat on it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it is pretty bad, like if you're right
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: right when you're about to get in the sub as
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: part of the safety demonstration, the CEO the only thing
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: they have is part of the safety demonstration is just
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: looking at everyone and signing the waiver that simply says
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: just brace yourselves. If they got go ahead tray, well, just.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: And the fact that they had I think one or
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: two people who had originally and these aren't these aren't
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: normal people. These are billionaires with a lot of money
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: who are adventure seekers and you already had a couple
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: of them who were big time adventure seekers. Are like,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: uh uh yo, get our money back please, this is
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: not safe.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because if if, if, if billionaires and uber the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: uber wealthy are your clientele. They expect the Louis Vaton,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: They expect the Gucci submarine, not the not the the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the gooty submarine, not not the Lewis Vutton sub They
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: want the real deal. They want luxury and class. They
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to be told that the only way you
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: get out of this thing is by knocking on the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: whole and if we can find you and unlock it
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: from the outside, and yes.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: They is that duct tape.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I would have felt better getting into the sub
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: sealed with duct tape than it was being piloted by
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: an Xbox controller.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, mm hmmm. Have you seen the pictures of
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: it on the ocean floor.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I have, and it is pretty sad to think that
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the sub itself is in a better state than the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: people that were inside of it.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, one of them was the child of one
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: of the billionaires. Yep. Yeah. They wouldn't even want to go.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: He was like, I don't want to do this is dumb.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I know you guys go. He's like, no, you're coming
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: with me.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: You know what He learned a valuable lesson that day
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: that sometimes it hurts to be right.

• 29:28
  Speaker 1: of the ocean. The super yacht that sank a while back,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I believe it was the the tech and billionaires. It
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: was the the forty million dollars super yacht that sank
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: off sicily last month, killing seven people, including British tech
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: tycoon Mike Lynch. The recovery efforts have gotten really, really
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: interesting because they've asked for heightened security to guard the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: vessel over concerns that sensitive data locked in its safes
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: may interest foreign nationals. They think that this yacht, the Beijian,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: if I'm saying that right, may contain highly sensitive data
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: tied to a number of Western intelligence services. That's according
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: to four sources. Similar with the investigation and salvage operation.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Lynch was associated with British, American and other intelligence services.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: There was various companies, including the cyber security company he founded,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: dark Trace. So now they think that foreign governments like
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Russia and China may also be trying to get to
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the safes held within this super yacht wreckage to get
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: dirt on Western countries and correct me if I'm wrong.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: But isn't this early similar to the plot of Powerball
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: with James Bond. That's where they Yeah, that's where they
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: had the epic spear gun battle underwater.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a dirt pit novel to me.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Wait, is that an actual book or is that just
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: one you're working on or is that just your diary?
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Good? But no, that's the Clive Cussler hero in his books.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Oh gotcha? Okay. The sunken vessel, lying on the sea
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: bed at the depth of some fifty meters, which, according
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to US translation one hundred and sixty four feet, is
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: thought to have watertight safes containing two super encrypted hard
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: drives that hold highly classified information, including pass codes and
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: other sensitive data. That's according to an official asked not
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: to be named. Specialist divers with remote cameras have searched
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the boat extensively. Initially, law enforcement feared that would be
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: thieves might try to reach the records to find expensive
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: jewelry and other objects of value still on board the yacht.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Thieves pardon me, salvage crews.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one's official ones less than official. What is it, Trey?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: What are we doing?
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? I mean, with all the problems
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: in the world somehow M I five, am I whatever?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: And the CIA. You know, I have secrets on you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: some playboy billionaire's yacht.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Dude, I'm with you. When I when I saw that,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, why are we trusting playboy billionaire types
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: with all this sensitive information? Or is this something that
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: again this sounds like something out of a movie. Was
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: was he holding onto this information out of fear because
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: if he had it then he knew he would be safe.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: That being said, he's at the bottom of the ocean.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: He's dead now, Yeah, it was one of them, a
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: masked vigilante by night. I just I try him kind
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: of with.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: There's lots of problems in the world, but you know what,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: we as humans are still enamored by some good old
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: fashioned sunken treasure, even if it's in the form of
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: you know, highly sensitive data like like like like the
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: password for the White House in Turtle Surfers, when we
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: all know, given the administrations, given the recent administrations in
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the White House, you know that password is one, two, three,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: four or five, and.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: The giant vacuum is gonna come down and the atmosphere,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: What, I welcome, I welcome the giant robot vacuum to
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: suck us all up, because I feel like that's what
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: we deserve. She's gone from blow up. I'm just gonna
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: welcome it with open arms and enjoy the show. All right,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: thanks for hanging out with us inside the treehouse today.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Just wait for that great big robot in the sky
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: to come suck us. That's pretty good. That's impressive. And
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: you can take spaceballs and thunderball in one segment and combine.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: All right, We will see you guys tomorrow.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: M
