It's Friday #20-Dan is Sicked and History of Stanley Cups · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:25
Welcome inside the treehouse on another Friday of twenty twenty four, I believe it's
0:33
second one. Now, happy to have you inside our little neck of the
0:38
Internet or neck of the woods. I guess I should or appropriately say,
0:44
I need help, gentlemen, Ray Raj, I'm being bullied and I need
0:51
your help. Oh I, I'm fairly well versed in that, So tell
0:56
me what's going on. Well, that's my wife. Oh yeah, that's
1:00
what happens. So you say, I'm on my own. What the hell,
1:07
Trey, I get no backup. When my wife was picking on me,
1:11
that's too much heat. I'm willing to help only because you're on an
1:18
island. So are you willing to help verbally or emotionally, but clearly not
1:23
physically. No, no, no, absolutely not. No. She's picking
1:26
on me because as if this year hasn't you know, started out on a
1:30
you know, kind of a murky foot to begin with with, you know,
1:34
the death of our dog and Terror herself actually being sick at the end
1:41
of last year, Tray, you had the flu as well. Now I
1:44
caught something somewhere and now she's making fun of me because I keep adding because
1:49
I've got a cold or a sinus infection, and I keep adding d's onto
1:55
the ends of my words. So she's making fun of me because she feels
2:01
better now and now that I'm sick. This is what marriage can be for
2:07
anyone that's single in thinking, what's marriage like after a certain number of years,
2:12
it's bullying. Yeah, yeah, till till sinus infections do we part?
2:20
Well? It is pretty bad because she says, like she actually told
2:23
me, She says, I'm going to laugh every single time that you added
2:27
D to words. Now when you're when you're both sick, do you do
2:31
you go to opposite sides of the the house and stay there so you don't
2:37
get the other one sick? Are you? Guys? Back and forth?
2:40
Like you said, if we're both sick, then it really doesn't matter about
2:44
But I will say it's very rare that we've been sick at the same time.
2:49
I did it again, damn it. So like she got the flu
2:53
when we were out of town in Seattle. I just did it again town
2:58
and I didn't get it right. I'm at the point now in my life
3:04
where I'm fairly certain I'm somehow immune to the flu because I've never had it.
3:09
I've asked my mom. I said, have I ever had the flu?
3:13
And she said, no, you were sick with everything else, but
3:14
you never had that. I've never had it as as adult. Ironically,
3:17
I've never had the flu vaccine, so I just seem to be immuned to
3:21
that. I did get COVID, so I wasn't immuned to that specific flu,
3:27
and I'm obviously not, you know, immune to other things. But
3:30
I think it's weird to be a forty four year old man and never had
3:32
the flu. Yeah, I don't. I don't know how much of that
3:38
I believe. I have to talk to your mom or just have her email
3:43
me. I don't have to talk to your mom, but you can have
3:45
email. Because it's almost impossible to not get the flu at least once in
3:51
your lifetime. That's why I'm saying it's a it's a shocking thing. It's
3:54
it's it's a massive deal. I should probably be studied by science. You
4:00
would be you would be what we would deem a medical marvel, you know,
4:03
or just you had your programming is really good. Yeah, so medical
4:08
marvel medical programmed you to you know, quote unquote be sick. You know,
4:14
but just the light stuff. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I prove
4:16
to you Trey in in the this week's previous episode when I couldn't make it
4:21
through the dog pole. I'm talking about our dog Joel, who passed away
4:26
last Friday. I couldn't make it through it reading it. Yeah, so
4:31
they down? Did they download the Sadness and Emotion software from recently? Like
4:35
on your is that like on a New year's New Year's Day, like you
4:40
get an update on your software. It's one of the few like useful updates
4:44
that Yeah, no, at least at least not unaware of. For all
4:47
I know, I could be like a replicant from Blade Runner, where you
4:50
know, I don't know I'm a replicant. I'm just here. Yeah,
4:55
Dan, speaking of which, can you download your Zell software? And uh
5:00
hey that bet thanks? Uh yeah, And now this is where he goes
5:06
that this is when the amnesia program kicks in, that one that one's running
5:13
on all the time, no updates needed, no bugs need to be fixed.
5:19
Yeah, that that program has run perfectly from day one. Yeah,
5:25
I'm just like what right? As you said that, Tram surprised he wasn't
5:28
typing in forgetful Dan upload a sad thing is I just realized that, Uh
5:39
there's the Ambusia program. I don't know. Yeah, see there is it
5:42
just up. It just uploaded. I just got the software update. Yeah,
5:45
uh, glitch. I want to look up on Google if there's well
5:56
that don't get the flu ever, like, I want to look it up.
5:59
Uh maybe maybe the next break we take, I'll look it up and
6:01
see if it's possible that you are just a part of a small group of
6:05
people that are ye. Scientifically, you shall contact one of the drug manufacturers
6:10
and see if they want to put a test on you. Might might be
6:13
a lucrative look at a lucrative thing. Yeah, and it want to be
6:17
idea and it won't be human testing, so it's it'll all work out.
6:24
They'll just they'll just take enough blood where I deflat man, I just got
6:30
that. Pete is not gonna mind because clearly I'm not a I'm not a
6:44
dog or a cat or a rabbit. Yeah, it's just it's just mechanical
6:48
testing, that's all it is. You know, robots don't say out a
6:54
lot. That's good. I actually do say owl a lot. I'm glad
7:04
they uploaded that into your vocabulary. Yeah, well, I mean, it
7:15
sucks that if you don't get the flu, but you do get other stuff,
7:19
like you might as well just be like, you know, let me
7:21
just get the flu once it's it's I mean, it's just it's just a
7:26
horrible thing, like it lasts three days. But I mean, if you're
7:29
like I was asking Tray, like did you get did you get the ripped
7:31
flu? Like when you're done, like you're like, hey, this was
7:35
two weeks at the gym, you know what I mean? Like this one
7:40
was I Now I'm I'm like when I got the parasite in India, Like
7:43
I was miserable for four days and then I got I was walking, I
7:46
was taking a shower for the first time in four days, and I walked
7:48
past the mirror and I was like, I look fabulous. This strain it's
7:55
the part that made it so bad, like the worst I have ever had.
7:59
Uh over the body aches, Oh yeah, you were saying yeaheah.
8:03
I felt like, I you know, someone had been just kidney punching me.
8:07
Oh god, I've never had I haven't had COVID. Oh yeah,
8:11
that iPad, that's a that's a that's one you know, you know,
8:15
Yeah, uh, and you know when you've got that, like it's one
8:18
of those things you're like, why am I this tired? Why am I
8:22
this miserable? And then you go, let me take that test? And
8:24
then mine was like, you know, you got to give it about five
8:26
minutes before you can see the line thirty seconds like lit up. I was
8:31
like, yep, think I got it. A little pop up just sexually
8:39
says you got it. Yeah, I mean winter, Yeah, COVID dinner.
8:50
Yeah, but uh yeah, have you taken the COVID test to see
8:52
if that maybe instead of a sinus efectual you might have COVID. You have
8:56
been traveling, so you could have gotten from I. I have not.
9:00
We have a couple because Tarah took one when she was sick and then so
9:07
we just have a couple extras. And we talked about that yesterday about me
9:13
taking a COVID test. But I remember back when I had COVID in twenty
9:16
twenty one, it was over about six or seven days, and I experienced
9:22
almost all the possible symptoms that you had read about on like a two day
9:26
stretch each, So like the possible symptoms, you know what this is supposed
9:37
to be a safe space for friends to come together. You know that today
9:43
it was supposed to be a safe space away from my wife bullying me about
9:48
me adding d's on the end of my words because I'm sick, and here
9:52
you are dogpiling. No, no, no, you said you added d's
9:58
to the end of words, not t's to the middle of words. I
10:00
don't know if you're if you're if your software is glitching again, but you
10:03
said postibilities like that sounds like okay, So is that what it is?
10:07
So Terra has already got the knas on the end of words played, So
10:11
raj, you're you're now going to pick on me for when I throw a
10:13
tea in the middle of a word that shouldn't be there. No, I'm
10:16
thinking you you might have stumbled onto a million dollar idea, is your own?
10:22
Uh like freeze dried pasta creations where you called it postibilities. I think
10:26
that would be you could sell them, sell that in every grocery stores.
10:31
Dance possibilities and it's just you know, different resumes. But with pasta I
10:35
like it. I would I would eat I would eat possibilities all right.
10:41

13:54
you're dirty before him. There's a lot of comics that will say, you
13:58

14:15
okay, so I've been writing like redoing my set in my head or I
14:18
just don't because I use it. I just use it for emphasis. I'm
14:20
not like I'm not like I'm just cussing all the time and use it for
14:22

14:28
So but yeah, come by tomorrow night and say hello now it's coming
14:31
very cool and for ticket and fell again Dallas Dash Comedy Club. Excuse me
14:37
not cop because if being sick in my head isn't bad enough, now I
14:41
apparently have indigestion, so excuse me, burp. That's I'm just waiting for
14:46
you to just malfunction completely. And dude, that's what I was thinking earlier
14:52
this morning. My nose is running and I don't have any Kleenex, so
14:56
it really was this morning. It was Uh. I went to the gym
15:00
for the first time earlier this week in the new year, right, I'd
15:05
taken about a month off for the holidays, and I guess my body is
15:09
paying me back for it today because in addition to being sick in my head,
15:16
I'm sore and out of nowhere. My left knee just started hurting and
15:22
all I did was taking some stuff out of my car and into the house.
15:24
And my spine has pretty much been unraveling for years. So I absolutely
15:30
felt that way this morning, Ridge, which was I'm just coming apart.
15:33
Yeah, it's called it's called getting old, you know, that's just what
15:37
happens. I have taken a month off from the gym as well, but
15:41
that was for but the car accident whatnot. And they've now they've they said,
15:46
you know what, you're clear to go at forty to fifty percent.
15:50
And I was like, okay, cool, So I don't know what that
15:52
means, but I'll just take it easy and I got. I got as
15:56
far as getting dressed for the gym before something clicked in my knee and I
16:02
sat down. I was like, well, we we looked gym ready,
16:07
but we we sure ain't it. Just leisure tread is here to stay.
16:12
Just because you did go to the gym doesn't mean you can't look like you
16:15
did. I just I was putting on because it's cold outside, so I
16:19
put my you know, my my leggings with the exercise leggings on and then
16:23
the shorts over it. And then I was getting my shoes on and I
16:26
heard on the side of my knee and I went, oh, well,
16:30
we're gonna sit down for a hot minute. And yeah, it is pretty
16:32
bad. If if the joint start fighting back, would you just get dressed.
16:37
Yeah. It was like, we're not really good one, are we.
16:42
We let you put on the clothes, but we're not going that's ridiculous.
16:48
So yeah, you're just you could look it, but you're not gonna
16:51
do it. Yeah. I'll be forty. I'll be forty you know this
16:52
year. I'll be forty nine in October. So I mean it's all letting
16:56
me know, like, hey, we're gearing up for forty nine, like
16:59
you look, you're ready to go get on the elliptical, but you're gonna
17:03
watch Red Notice instead. For me this week it was it's been Reacher,
17:12
so I totally get it. Oh the new season's out. Yeah, yeah,
17:18
they're doing a slow drip. They're not doing you know, all the
17:21
episodes at once. They released three episodes and then they're doing, uh,
17:26
one episode per week. Yeah. And I don't know if you guys watch
17:30
Bookie, but if you get a chance to watch that, it is excellent,
17:34
excellent, excellent. Is that's just the documentary about the relationship between Trey
17:38
and his book I've seen episodes of that over the years. It's very entertaining
17:48
that one's called Bookie Nights. But no, this is what's funny, is
17:59
the truth about it. My bookie is actually a very close friend of mine,
18:02
I know, who actually got sober before me and helped me get sober.
18:07
Actually, and even in sobriety. Where's one time I called him I
18:12
wanted to make a bet and he goes no. That has got to be
18:18
one of the best relationships ever where it's not only is he your bookie,
18:22
but he's also your sponsor, which is a another great indication that you can
18:27
be sober from drugs and alcohol, but that doesn't mean you're addictionless. What
18:34
was your rock bottom? Putting a thousand on Troy State bottom Hawaii? Wow?
18:45
Yeah, I can Understanday Saturday Night Special way in the over come on
18:52
Rainbows. And what was really bad is you know before the internet there you
18:59
would have to like there were these lines you could call score lines, and
19:03
you know they would just do an update like every fifteen minutes, and you
19:06
know you're on there at two thirty in the morning trying to figure out the
19:08
Hawaii score. That's when you've hit rock bottom. Wow, that's you wake
19:15
up in the morning after betting a thousand on Hawaii and he's there to take
19:18
you to rehab. But he stopped atm so you can pay him for Yeah,
19:23
because he knows he's not gonna get paid for at least thirty days,
19:26
so he wants to be sure he gets it on the front end. Oh,
19:33
that's right. When when your first step is when your bookie makes a
19:36
mess? Oh damn, excuse me, pardon miss not all right? Oh
19:48
jesus, all right, today is grad day. Some days it's just not
19:53
as impactful as others. Today's one of them. January twelfth, twenty tw
20:00
four birthdays. Today we will start with Melanie Chisholm. She is fifty today.
20:06
She's best known as Melcy or Sporty Spice from The Spice Girl Rake One
20:11
from Wu Tang Clan is fifty four and from Rage Against the Machine Zach de
20:18
la Rocha is fifty four today. I think I saw earlier this week in
20:22
the news, like a quick headline saying something about Rage Against the Machine may
20:25
have broken up again. But it seems like one of those bands that seems
20:27
to do it so often that I can't keep up with whether they're together or
20:32
not, sort of like some of Trey's relationships. No, you know mine,
20:36
well, you know mine. How they're going to end. Yeah,
20:40
but it's a matter of how many times you get back together before it reaches
20:45
its inevitable. That's true. Trey always has farewell tours. Where do you
20:53
think? Where do you think all those bands got the idea to do numerous
20:57
farewell tours? Kiss did it? The Eagles they saw they saw what Trey
21:02
was doing, like that's a great idea. Can melt this for another ten
21:07
years? Which is really odd to hear you say to your girlfriend other birthdays.
21:22
Today, Rob Zombie turns fifty nine. Amazon's headman. Actually is he
21:29
even the CEO anymore? Or is he now like a ceo emeritus and he's
21:32
just sailing around the world and stuff now Basos sixty, he's still in charge.
21:38
He still the head man in charge, I believe. So let's see.
21:42
It's like it's amazing. There's a clip of him on Larry King back
21:48
in like ninety eight ninety nine, and you know, Larry King asked him
21:52
something like, you know, how are you gonna make selling books so profitable?
21:57
And he goes, he goes, Larry books are the beginning? Is
22:00
I almost sell everything? Wow? And damn if he wasn't right, Yeah,
22:04
that's wild. And I'll tell you right now we rely on him.
22:07
We rely on Amazon here, oh yeah, because there are certain things that
22:11
we just cannot get Now. Amazon Prime is a different animal here on the
22:17
Islands than it is in Dallas. Like in Dallas, you order something,
22:18
it could be there in the afternoon. Here. If I order like some
22:22
sort of a cord that I can't find at OfficeMax on Saint Thomas or at
22:26
Kmart, we'll get on Amazon. I'll order acord that's like seven or eight
22:32
bucks. It'll eventually show up in about ten to twelve days, but it'll
22:37
cost me ten to twelve dollars in shipping, and nine or ten people in
22:42
Puerto Rico will have used it by the time I got to you. So
22:48
funny you mentioned that rush, because there's still a few things that Tera and
22:51
I have ordered that got held up in Puerto Rico so long that they just
22:56
never left the island. So someone saw what we had ordered to go like
23:00
want that, and then they just kept it. That's what somebody's wearing your
23:04
Halloween costume right now. That was a real messibility last year. We actually
23:11
think someone did wear one of Terra's costumes to a party and then they repackaged
23:17
it and then sent it over to finish the actual final leg of the Amazon
23:21
ship. Wow. Actor. One of my favorite actors, Oliver Platt,
23:26
I know, kind of random. He is sixty four today. He is
23:27
a chief of psychiatry on NBC's Chicago med He also had a hell of a
23:33
turn as I'm not even sure what he actually was in Lake Placid the first
23:38
one, but he was a ladies man, even though he was grossly overweight,
23:44
but Oliver Platt very good actor, Howard Stern king of all media.
23:48
He turns seventy. Turns out he sort of leading the charge on the digital
23:52
side of things when he left radio and took a whole bunch of serious XM
23:56
stock options. And finally from the Oakreage Boys, one of my sister's favorites,
24:03
William Lee Golden, is eighty five today. He's the one with the
24:10
really long beard. Oh gotcha. And I think they just announced like a
24:14
farewell tour or something. I can't I've just one of those random things you
24:22
see probably on Facebook or something. I was scrolling by, and you know,
24:26
it's like they're still alive. It's funny you mentioned that trade because I'm
24:30
pretty sure it was the Oakreadge boys who were scrolling on Facebook, went past
24:33
your profile, saw that, it saw that. It said it's complicated.
24:37
They're like, it's time to hit the road. Boys. If this guy
24:42
Trey is back on is back on it the med we shirt, we certainly
24:45
could. Yeah. I love when bens do that. I'm like, we're
24:48
gonna announce a farewell tour. I'm like, well, your career said farewell
24:51
about twenty years ago. I don't know what we're what do we sell?
24:55
Like where's the okay, like what venue? What size of venue? Do
24:57
you think the Oakridge Boys going to fill at this point? Like they're not.
25:03
You won't see like at the AAC the Oakridge Boys, like nobody have
25:08
they released new music in thirty forty years? No, I And you're right,
25:18
I definitely don't see them playing the maid arena at the Double Ac.
25:23
Maybe one of the bathrooms. Yeah. If I was like at the State
25:32
Fair and they're like, hey, after the pig races the Oakreage Boys,
25:34
I'm like, okay, you know, saying farewell to their fans, that
25:47
would actually be a good, good double feature the pig races followed by the
25:51
boys. I'm pretty sure that one of those pigs every year is named Elvira.
26:00
What would really be said is if you know where your career is if
26:03
you had to open for the big races, like not even not even close
26:06
out the big races in the Oakridge was it is pretty humbling with the pigs
26:14
of the Bigger dressing groop and more. Fans in the Treehouse visit us online
26:33
at Treehouse on air dot com. Let's get Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing
26:42
and Restoration into the Treehouse now and their phone number which you will need for
26:47
the free roof inspection because of course eight three three Cook d FW the website
26:52
COOKDFW dot com. Daniel, I'm curious. We've talked a lot over the
26:56
last you know, calendar year about free roof inspections and the important things that
27:00
people can do to have you come out to their home and help them.
27:03
But when someone actually calls you, how quickly is it that you get out
27:07
to them to come check that roof? Dan. You know, we've been
27:11
very fortunate. We got a wonderful office staff that answers the phone, immediately
27:17
gets to the clients, and believe it or not, we almost at least
27:22
seventy five percent of the time try to get out the same day, especially
27:26
for clients that have major concerns and if it's emergency services, we make sure
27:32
we find time to get out there and get it done. So between the
27:34
guys, they all understand the importance and when somebody's home is affected in a
27:38
negative way and they have a lot of pressure on them trying to find someone,
27:44
you know, that's that's where we stand up and say we're going to
27:45
be there for him. And so yeah, I would say seventy five percent
27:48
the same day, if not next day for sure. And hearing the back
27:52
to the future alert there on your phone, it makes me wonder if it
27:56
was possible, would you go back in time to help somebody or would you
28:00
not mess with that sacred timeline? You know, Dan, there's always opportunities
28:04
to go back in time, and why would you not? Man, I
28:07
think that would be a wonderful opportunity. So we would look at that,
28:11
just run with it. Maybe not change any super important historical things, to
28:17
not mess with the future or the present, but at the very least go
28:21
maybe go stop a leak before it gets worse. Absolutely, give Daniel Cook
28:25
to yourself. You can't see yourself, Dan, remember that you cannot manipulate
28:29
what you're doing. Better not touch yourself either. I've seen time cop and
28:33
that was gruesome. So be sure and give Daniel Cook a call from Cook
28:36
DFW Roofing and Restoration eight three to three. Cook DFW. Take a look
28:40
at all their fine work on their website right now at cookdfw dot com.
28:44
It's a new year, but let's get a familiar face and voice into the
28:47
treehouse. Now it's Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing. Give them a call for any
28:49
and all of those plumbing ones and needs two, one, four, three,
28:52
six, eight, thirty eight, thirty eight and Jacqueline. Since it
28:56
is a new year, I'm curious, how is the new year started for
28:59
you and for Brooks Plumbing? I mean smooth sailing. We had a record
29:03
breaking year. I'm gonna blame you for that, so I will take all
29:07
that. I will take all that smoke. Yeah, I intend on having
29:11
another record breaking year. And I want to ask you if you've seen the
29:15
meme and it's all verbal, it's all just words, and it just says,
29:18
new year, knew me, better ingredients, better pizza, Papa John's.
29:23
I have not seen that, but I think that fits a lot of
29:26
people's resolutions. But I have lost weight already, so the goal is to
29:32
lose weight. So I'm getting tremor and the boys are getting heavier because we're
29:37
feeding them. Well, oh that's awesome. Well you know what, in
29:38
that case, good for you. Your new year personally is already off to
29:41
a good start. It sounds like it's already off to a great start.
29:45
For Brooks Plumbing me, however, any sort of resolution stuff. I've extended
29:49
my holiday break to continue through the weekend. So to me, the first
29:55
day of the New Year really isn't going to start until Monday, as oppose
29:57
to what it actually was, which was last Monday, the first. I
30:00
don't think that count. But you have an excuse. You're on island time.
30:04
You live in a whole different world, so you get to make your
30:07
own rules. That is true, and island time is a very real thing.
30:11
We're still waiting on, ironically enough, a plumber on Saint Thomas to
30:15
give us a call back to help our tenants with a propane issue, and
30:21
that's been going on for like three days. So what I'm getting at is,
30:26
if you want a banger of a twenty twenty four, then you need
30:27
to open up a Brooks Plumbing branch here on the Islands, because you will
30:32
absolutely slay it. Well, you can fly Oliver and I out. He'll
30:36
do the work and I'll just quality assurance. I'll be the QA person on
30:40
the site. I think that sounds like a wonderful plan, all right.
30:44
So we've already got new resolutions and objectives for the new year, and if
30:47
you have any plumbing wants and needs, obviously, Jacqueline will go to the
30:51
ends of the earth for you like she does for me. So give her
30:53
entertain at Brooks Plumbing a call two one four three six eight thirty eight thirty
30:57

31:12
you by Brooks Plumbing. Brooks Plumbing for any and all of your plumbing wants
31:17
and needs, give them a call for very fine plumbing work. Two one
31:21
four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight. That's two one four, three
31:23
six eight thirty eight thirty eight and the website Brooks Plumbingtexas dot com. UH.
31:30
They've they were in my house and numerous times UH in Dallas over the
31:33
last year, and so I appreciate very much their excellent work and efforts in
31:38
the UH in the plumbing business, and you will too should you need their
31:41
help or again, sometimes you just want some cool plumbing stuff done, and
31:45
they do that too. I want to make sure, since it is Friday,
31:48
there's some really really good, UH stupid stories that I know that'll make
31:55
us all very happy if we touch on them, especially especially the one I'm
32:00
going to start with. We've all heard of Janue. I'm sorry, I'm
32:09
gonna start that over. We've all heard of dry January. Yes, have
32:17
you heard of the new trend Janue Harry? No? No, Yeah?
32:27
What do you think Janue Harry is just based on the name? Right,
32:35
Guys not shaving for a month like beards, beards grow out? That is
32:44
incorrect, ra what do you think Janue Harry is? Ladies not shaving anywhere?
33:00
That was the greatest response. Not only is it the greatest response,
33:04
it's the proper response. Yes. Over the past six years, this period
33:09
of January has been marked by January Harry, So you know it's usually times
33:15
of change. Resolution, Gym membership spike, people seek new jobs and record
33:21
numbers abstaining from alcohol, like the drive January, even not eating meat for
33:29
the month, So meatless January is apparently a thing, but all that can
33:31
move over and make room for Janue Harry. It is an initiative challenging women
33:38
to put down their razors for the entire month. Despite its name, the
33:43
message is evergreen. In the campaign's official Instagram account, which has over forty
33:47
thousand followers, posts images of women celebrating their body hair year round in an
33:53
attempt to normalize it. So, yeah, you know, that's a great
34:01
way to you know, that's a great way I think you should do it.
34:05
And that's a great way to not have a date by Valentine's Day.
34:08
But that's a solid way to do that. But you know, well,
34:13
actually the opposite. It may actually work in that in that way, raj
34:15
because let's say, you know, a lady doesn't shave anything anywhere for the
34:21
entire month of January indead, oh yeah, February first, she decides,
34:27
all right, it's time time to shave it all down. And then it's
34:30
sort of like one of those you know, eighties movies where it's like the
34:34
geek turns hot, or like even the nineties remake and she's all that.
34:37
It's like she shaves herself and all of a sudden, the guy, the
34:40
new guy at work, is like, oh, this is not the Harry
34:43
sasquatch woman that I thought she was. Any think it sounds like it's vagina
34:46
reborn thirty day. I think it would be Wow. That is a yeah,
35:05
that's a you know, I just always wonder when you hear things like
35:08
that, who sat in the room and was like, I got an initiative
35:10
force. It's like, go ahead, Harry Becky, what do you got?
35:19
I need you guys stop calling me Harry Becky. How you wanted to
35:22
do that? Everybody should be here and then that's how they let's get an
35:25
Instagram page. What do you think you to brow Wendy. So just keep
35:40
that in mind if you see someone talking about Janu Harry, now you know
35:45
what it is. Yeah, there is something going around in addition to the
35:52
flu or the cold that I have. It is this new sort of a
35:55
pandemic that I have yet to hear anyone proper explanation to me to explain it,
36:05
the explanation to see breaking on all cylinder type things today. But you
36:10
get what I mean. Yeah, the Stanley cup tumblr chaos. I have
36:17
yet to hear a reasonable explanation for the insanities surrounding these metal tumbler cups,
36:25
which are not new to the market. I mean, for one, Stanley
36:30
has had these thermoss for decades, probably pre dating the twentieth century, that
36:36
were probably used in the minds in the eighteen hundreds. But and then you
36:42
got the Yuttie cups, the Arctics, the Arctic Zone, like all these
36:45
different brands popped up with these steel cups. And for some reason, the
36:51
Stanley cup craze has reached a fever pitch. Have you heard any reasonable explanation
36:57
as to why. I don't know what this is, so you have to
36:59
expey, Okay, yeah, do you know the Stanley Cup, not the
37:04
hockey deal, but the old stool thervice it had the was all metal,
37:07
and it had a screw top and the lunch box handle right, typically used
37:14
for soups or coffee for the blue collar worker for all goddamn day. That
37:19
soup and that coffee, maybe even in the same holder's gonna be hot all
37:22
day. Yeah. And then the marketing quote unquote genius that made crocs cool
37:29
again or just cool period got hired by the Stanley company and he threw in
37:36
some fun colors, a straw and a handle, and the next thing you
37:38
know, there are people throwing fists and elbows at target to get the Valentine's
37:47
colors. Gotcha. The only thing I know about him is that in that
37:52
the top that they have and with the straw that it is some contraption that
38:00
like comes down on the straw. So it's like leak proofs as much as
38:04
one can. Gotcha. You also saw something that saw the whole thing about
38:07
how oh hey people, you love that thing. Well when you don't clean
38:13
it right and they pulled it apart, it's like just mold. It's like,
38:15
oh, yeah, you're gonna want to clean that thing on a regular
38:17
basis. Yeah. But yeah, like the like the yetties and all the
38:22
other you know, steel cups that that people have had. The aftermarket accessories
38:25
were pretty popular because you could get a handle to slide over one, you
38:30
could get the new lid that had the slide top, or the straws that
38:32
would you know, kind of go in there or something. Or I guess
38:37
Stanley just decided we're just gonna do all of it in one cup and that
38:39
was that was what made them better than everyone. I mean, I will
38:43
say this, when you have the handle that's already attached to the cup,
38:45
not only is a not only is it a convenient drinking apparatus, but it's
38:50
also a weapon. Yeah. I just uh, when you say people are
38:55
are fighting over these is can I can I assume, yes, you can't.
39:08
I feel I feel fairly confident that I saw some. I saw a
39:13
few people of color also rushing to the to the cup crazes. Say do
39:16
you want to? You want you want to pull the picture up for the
39:20
video. I just want to. I just want to, you know,
39:22
I just want to know, like when this that kind of time, when
39:25
the new Stanley cup colors come out, just so for for just for reference,
39:30
I need to know a date so I know when the streets will be
39:32
clear of white people, so we can just hustle about town because this is
39:44
not Videos posted to social media showed customers camping outside of Target, jumping behind
39:50
the cashier's counter, racing each other to grab limited edition Valentin's tumblers and pink
39:54
and red that Stanley released on New Year's Eve. The twenty to forty five
39:59
dollars travel cups quickly sold out with ad minutes at some locations, and many
40:04
are now being resold on eBay and Murcari for more than one hundred bucks each.
40:09
Wow, now here's some numbers behind it. The comically enormous quincher has
40:14
gotten so popular that it's largely responsible for Stanley's revenue jumping from seventy four million
40:20
dollars in twenty nineteen to seven hundred and fifty million dollars in twenty twenty three.
40:28
Wow, that is a lot of white people with soup. I don't
40:36
think it's I really do. I think it's I do think though, if
40:39
you found one of these lines where people are camped out, I think you
40:44
could sell some trips to Mount Everest, though, especially if it was me
40:47
selling. That's gonna be how their revenue jumps into the billiard. Absolutely,
41:06
and it's a great to take to the top of of average with you.
41:10
Every trip gets a three pair of green boots, such a good cup and
41:19
maybe the only thing that survives your trip. Oh, look at the Sherpas
41:29
e Bay store slightly used, halfway full. I about that's great.
