• 1:26
  Speaker 2: get to all that inside the treehouse today and more.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And part of the more is this. A new and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a dumb way to die. The human existence has been
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: going on for many, many years. Some think only like 6,000 years.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Some people think like 6 million. Wherever you fall on
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that spectrum, Humans have found some really interesting and creative
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: ways to die. This is one, despite all those years
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of existence, I did not see coming. A bride-to-be died
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: after being crushed in a bowling alley pin-setting machine. This
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: is some Final Destination stuff.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Is it sad that I can just see her kind
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of hanging there from it at.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: The end of the.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Allie? In the wedding dress?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe. Well, it said bride-to-be, so... Bride-to-be, bride-to-be. Okay, okay.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: What a horrible processional. Who gives this man to this.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Oh!
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: That's bad.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: That's a bad handoff. Let's see here. Maliki Yeater? That's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: an interesting last name. worked at a children's entertainment center,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: was attempting to fix an issue with the machine when
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the incident occurred. A bride-to-be died after being crushed by
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a pin-setting machine in a bowling alley. Maliki Yider, a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: 28-year-old employee of a children's entertainment center in Korum, Turkey.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: This is in a Turkish bowling alley. That sounds like
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: something interesting.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: She was attempting to fix a mechanical malfunction with the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: machine when the incident occurred Wednesday, October 21st. She was
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: suddenly struck by the machine, which automatically gathers and resets
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the bowling pins, and she was rushed to a hospital
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: for the outlets. She was discharged after the initial treatment,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: but she was later rushed back to the hospital by
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: family members after falling ill at home. A subsequent examination
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: revealed the crushing force of the pin setting machine had
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: ruptured her liver, causing internal bleeding. She later died at
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the hospital from her injuries. She had just gotten engaged
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: three months ago. She was killed by a pin setting
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: machine at a bowling alley. I mean, that poor groom
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Hope he had a spare.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: God damn it, Trey. Thank you. You know it's going
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to be a good show when that's how we start.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: For the record, that was wrong, Trey. It was mean-spirited.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And I thank you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: We can get away with that joke here because if
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: one of us was to die in a pin-setting machine,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: one of you assholes better make that same fucking joke.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: At my expense, I fully endorse it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I'd figure out a strike joke for that. Yeah, that just.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You feel like this is one of those... There's got
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to be a... It's like a double Darwin story on this,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: because A, I've never heard of this happening before, so
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you've got to feel like there was a step missed
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: maybe turning the machine off.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, so what you're doing is kind of like when
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: it comes time to change the blade on your circular
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: saw or something, you make sure it's off, right? So
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I take it extra steps because I am absolutely terrified
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: of blending my hand in a blender or tearing it
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: off or sawing through it with a saw. So not
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: only do I make sure it's off, the battery is
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: out of it. If it's an electrical one, I make
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: sure it's not only unplugged, but that plug is not
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: 10 feet off. To the nearest electrical outlet. I don't
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: want it on carpet in case someone's feet shuffle and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: accidentally touch it. I don't want an electric power tool
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: anywhere near electricity if I'm messing with its blade and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: trying to change things. Same thing with a blender. If
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I have to get my hand in there or something,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I may take that thing into the middle of the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: living room where there's no electrical outlet anywhere near it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I hate sticking my hand down the disposal. I do too.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: There used to be that thing where you'd lean over
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: and put your hand by the switch just to make
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: sure that nobody touched it until one day I thought
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I might be the one that touches it so now
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: you're in this conundrum.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I gotta fish stuff out of it all the time too.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: It scares me. Weird things, I know. But Now it
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't sound so weird when your girl gets killed because
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: of the pin setting machine in a Turkish bowling alley.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Now I don't feel so weird about being very careful
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: with the disposal. Because at least that thing's got a
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: blade and you can understand someone hurting themselves very gravely
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: with it. Pin setting machine is not one of those
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that you look at and think, I bet that could
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: kill somebody. Because that arm that comes down and pulls
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the pins, it doesn't seem that strong to be able to.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Pull a human into it. That's not the part that
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you have to worry about. Those pins are heavy, so
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the part that actually pushes them to... She learned nothing
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: from Roy Munson. That part of the machine that puts
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: them together in the triangle shape, that's the part that
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you get hooked in, because it's got to push them
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: together like that, and then it comes down and it
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: picks them up, and that's heavy mechanical stuff back there.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: The stuff you don't see that's covered up by the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: little shield. That's why it's always from the back. The
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: people in the back are the ones that get their
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: limbs and their hands removed, you know.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And, and their hair caught. Has there been a final
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: destination scene in a bowling alley? Cause it feels like
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: there should be like, I get it in that back area.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: It seems, it seems like a target rich environment for
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the final destination franchise where the, where the pin people
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: have to go and fix things. Anything mechanical.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: But the front part of the machine doesn't seem like
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: it would be the part that would get you. But
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: maybe that's, maybe that's my own misconception. Maybe she was
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: in the back trying to do something and it just
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: pulled her in.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Or was she like underneath it? And then it just
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: dropped on her.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe that. See, we have so many questions. If you
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: die in a pin setting machine at a Turkish bowling alley,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know why it sounds funny to say a
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Turkish bowling alley, but we're going to have questions and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: we need answers. in America, I kind of feel like
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: they'd be like, all right, when you know exactly what happened,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: shut down all the bowling alleys until we figure it out.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: We also saw a kingpin in this country. So yes,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: we did.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You can learn a lot for movies if you just
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: pay attention. Um, and since it's Halloween week and final
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: destination is in my opinion, one of the great horror franchises, uh, Trey,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I forget. Have you seen any of them?
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Nope. Dude.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Dude.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Of all the genres, horror is probably my least favorite.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm with you. Horror is not my jam as
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: far as movie genres, but I will say this. The
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Final Destination franchise, if you go into it in a
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: certain mood, They can be really funny.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: There's kind of a certain catharsis to it because, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of us have that radar where we can
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: see shenanigans coming down the pike. People are like, oh,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: you're overthinking and you're overwearing it. And it's like, this
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: is weird. we don't drive behind trucks full of logs.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: This is why we, you know, it's.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: The same reason why every time I'm on I 30
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and I see a forklift, I think of a John,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: was it LaBella or was it, or was it Rhodey
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: that died?
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: No, it was LaBella.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I think of John LaBella that died on I-30 because
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: a forklift on a flatbed coming the opposite direction somehow
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: flew off and landed on his car and killed him.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I thought that was on the toll road.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I think it was on I-30. Either way, if I'm
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: on the road where I think it happened, I really
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: notice it. But at any time, any time I see
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: a forklift on a flatbed, I think of that guy.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I think of that incident, and I think to myself,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I'm getting as far away from that thing as I can.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: And you're right, Jerry, same thing. If I'm ever behind
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: or anywhere near a log truck, I think of that
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: scene in Final Destination and I get the hell out
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: of the way. These are things, Trey, that you need
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to know. If anything, Final Destination as a movie franchise
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: is the payoff that you never get with your high anxiety.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Because anxiety loves to throw irrational fears at you. All
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: those irrational fears you have, all those intrusive thoughts you have,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Final Destination makes them possible.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Just what I need. Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Validation from Final Destination.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: It screwed up an entire generation in so many ways.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: You will not look at a tanning bed the same way.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: You will not look at barbed wire. Actually, you should
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: always look at barbed wire that way. I always did.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: That guy had Sorry for the pun, but he had
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: it coming. He should have known better. It'll change the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: way you look at roller coasters. But it really is.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: It really is. Honest to God. If you go into
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: it just sort of in a dark humor mood, you
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: could laugh your ass off through the entire thing.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe one day.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Please do it. Please do it. And like so many
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: horror movies, the first one is the one that's you know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: cause it set the bar and it sets, it sets
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the bar for the entire franchise.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So that first one is actually, it's creepy. It's suspenseful.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: It's scary. And then the, the movies that come after
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: it's like, okay, how can this one top the previous one?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Kind of like in the Friday, the 13th movies at
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a certain point, Jason Voorhees in the woods, cleaving people
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: with a machete got boring. It's okay. What are the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: new and exciting ways you can kill somebody? And next
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: thing you know, Jason takes Manhattan and he's punching heads
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: off of kids that go down six stories into a
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: dumpster and the lid closes.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And I wonder why I never saw that movie.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Some of them are really funny. That's what I'm saying.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I think that's just bad.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: That is. Yeah, it's synonymous.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I did recently find this out. So you know how
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Tara's not big into movies?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: And I told her long ago I would never force
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: any movies on her. So she recently told me that
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: she had never seen any of the Friday the 13th,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween movies, all the classic franchises
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: that we know. Even if we didn't see the movies,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: we know who Freddy Krueger is, right?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: We know who Jason Voorhees is, Michael Myers, Chucky. She
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: got Freddie, Michael, and Jason all mixed up because she
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: couldn't identify who was whom. That's how in the dark
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: she was when it comes to the horror franchises. So
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: she told me this week, she's like, all right, I'll
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: watch one. And I lit up. I'm like, yes, this
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: is awesome. Because whenever my wife gives in and says,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: all right, I'll allow you to make me watch a movie.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: So then I got excited.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I was like, Oh my God, which one, which one
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: am I going to make her watch?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: This is exciting.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: What'd you decide?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Well, before I tell you, I want to ask you
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: guys this, put it on you. If you guys are
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: in my position and your lady says you can choose
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: one of the horror franchises for me to see, which
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: one would you choose?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: My favorite is, uh, The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: So that would be mine. Would it be the first
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: one or one of the other movies? Absolutely the first one.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Trey, what about you? Actually, have you seen any of them?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So I've seen the first one or two of the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Friday the 13th. Okay. I don't know that I've ever
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: watched Halloween all the way through. I've seen all of
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the original movies. Nightmare on Elm Street. And that's. That's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I would go with Nightmare on Elm Street, too, if
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: that was the scariest to me.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I agree, and that's what I that's what I went with.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I said, if you if you can only choose one
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: of them. The original Nightmare on Elm Street, I think,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: is the one you got to go with.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I think that one fucked with me the worst because
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: it's in that you're in a dream state and everything else.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So that. Yeah, I would go with with that one.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I can't wait to see her face when Freddie's
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: glove comes up out of the bathwater.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Or when it pulls Johnny Depp into the mattress.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: His first movie appearance. Yeah, that's right. And in his
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: next movie where he plays Ebenezer Scrooge in what looks
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: like a Tim Burton movie. It's not. It's another guy.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: But in the trailer, in this new Ebenezer movie, Johnny
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Depp gets pulled into the bed a la Nightmare on
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Elm Street.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh. So it's like a little Easter egg for those
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: that have followed Mr. Depp's career throughout the ages.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Although it would have been really fucking funny if the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: ghost of Christmas passed shit on his bed. Maybe they
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: have both in the movie. I don't know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: One can hope.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to have an exciting weekend when Tara
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: sees for the very first time Nightmare on Elm Street.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. What was one I was thinking of the
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: other day as well? Phantasm. Phantasm was good. I remember
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that was Everett's favorite. Child's Play was pretty scary for
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the time because you talk about a quintessential 80s thing
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: being turned into a horror movie. I mean, the Chucky
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: doll was a real kid's toy. My little buddy. It
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: was the My Little Buddy, and the movie was based
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: on that, but in the movie they called it The
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Good Guy. Perfect. We had a weird relationship with dolls
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: as kids, and then all of our parents who were
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: filmmakers turned those toys into demonic creatures that terrorized us.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: That explains a lot about our generation, doesn't it? The
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: only thing that was missing was a Teddy Ruxpin that
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: goes crazy and starts killing people.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Jerry, are you keeping an eye on the chat with
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: our Ultimate Treehouse subscribers? I forgot to take a look,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: because I imagine Double AJ and some others probably have
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: some thoughts on all of this stuff.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: That was a movie I was thinking about. Linda Kemper
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: talked about the Freddy vs.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Jason movie. That one's so much fun. I mean, the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: movie overall is not very good, and to me, I
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: feel like they could have done more with it. But, man,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: when Jason... Okay, look, Jason's killed a lot of people
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: in his time. But I felt genuinely bad for this
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: one dude. He just had sex, so he thought he
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: was feeling pretty good, right? And then Jason comes in
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: and then drives the machete through him and all the
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: way through the mattress. He's dead, right? Insult to literal injury.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Jason then takes the mattress with him in it with
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the machete through it and then folds him up like
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a fucking taco. Sorry, I'm swearing a lot today.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: But it's like, really? All right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: You were sort of a mysterious murderer thing, but now
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: you're just being a dick. I'm still waiting for the
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: sequel when they put Michael Myers in there. You know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: you could just keep building on it. Then you throw
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: in Chucky, you know, then it's just like celebrity death match.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: But it's all the horror franchise people.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Is Robert England Freddy in that movie?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Yes yeah that was before they sort of rebooted the
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: franchise with uh i almost said robert earl keen but
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that's not him uh jackie lee haley the kid from
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: bad news bears grew up and got older and he
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: ended up taking on um freddie krueger i think that
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: may be right Oh, that would have been good. Mackie
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: in the chat says, I really wish they would have
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: made Freddy versus Jason versus Ash from Evil Dead oh
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: yeah honestly you put you put Bruce Campbell as Ash
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: from Evil Dead into anything and I'll watch it I
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: think you could actually make an argument you throw you
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: throw that character into any movie it'll make it instantly
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: better like just imagine nodding hill with julia roberts hugh
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: grant and ash from evil day exactly sorry i'm in
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a mood today i'm just kind of feeling it let's
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: get daniel cook from cook dfw roofing and restoration into
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the treehouse 833 cook dfw is the phone number to
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: get your free roof inspection and property review scheduled the
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: website cook dfw.com i'm going to say some scary words
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: daniel Super El Nino. And the effect that is going
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: to have on weather, especially in the North Texas area.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: You know, you're right.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: We just are officially in going into the Super El Nino.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: The reason why is because it's warmer than a regular
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: El Nino. And it does prelude that we will have
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: a wetter, higher rain rate. percentage than a normal year,
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: or shall we say on El Nino.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: So there are.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Some differences, speculations, nothing is set in stone. This is
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: not a guarantee that we're going to have a deluge
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: of water for the next year. I mean, that's just
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: not what it means. Scientific data says, hey, we might
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: have a wetter than normal.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: We could have more storms. It could be just a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: lot of rain. We all need to go out and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: build arcs. I don't know. But I mean... Be prepared.
• 21:34

• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Sure. All right.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Today is Thursday, October 29th, 2026. Obviously, it's Halloween week
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: and it's on my mind. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: The Dallas Stars' Miko Rentonen is 30 today. He is
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: from Finland, and he is doing quite well at the
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: early stages of this Dallas Stars season. Good job, Miko.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Tove Lowe is 39. Swedish songwriter behind Habits and Talking Body.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Tove.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Tove Lowe, thank you. Is that a guy or a girl?
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Or is it somewhere in between that I'm not supposed
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to ask?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It's a girl. Okay.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I thought it was, but I wasn't sure. Because here's
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the problem. With our age group, I see Tove low.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: My eyes see Tone low. Tone low.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: It's like that is not the same person at all. Oh,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Andy Dalton, Texas' own, is 39.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: 39.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Former Dallas Cowboy and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and TCU Horned Frog.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I think he's still in the league somewhere.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what? He might be. I forget who
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: he's with, but I think you're right. I think he's
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: a backup still somewhere. Once again, can we just say
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: just a quick appreciation moment for the greatest job in sports,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback in the NFL. You made so much money
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: and really have to do very little physical work Mentally,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: you've got to be sharp, but otherwise, it's a good gig.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially, I mean, he tried to be a starter
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: for a while.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: And he was. He was Cincinnati's number one for many,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: many years. He was Dallas' number one. Well, he was
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: the backup, but then he was number one because I
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: guess it was Dak that got hurt.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: He was with the Atlanta Falcons.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha. And real quick, this doesn't get said very
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: often because it doesn't happen very often, but as a redhead,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Andy Dalton has some good hair.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Like, like redhead guys don't typically get good hair. Like
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: there was a, a redheaded family that I rode the
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: school bus with back in like back in middle school.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: And they all had like the curly red hair and
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: on guys and, and the girls that just, it's just
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: the Annie look is not good.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I can only think of two good hair redheads. One
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: is Andy Dalton. The other is Sadie sink from, um,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Stranger Things slash the new Spider-Man movie. Ben Foster is 46.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: You may not know him by his name because it's
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: very just normal. You know him by his face, though.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: He's a very fine character actor. He was in Hell
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: or High Water, 310 to Yuma, Alpha Dog, and Lone Survivor.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: He was Axe in Lone Survivor, if you've seen that
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: as many times as I have. He was the blonde survivor.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: guy um let's see michael sure is 51 he's creator
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: of the good place and brooklyn 99 co-creator of parks
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: and rec and a writer producer on the office.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: So he's done good for himself yeah.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: R.a dickie is 52 today former major league knuckleballer 2012
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: national league cy young award winner doing what very few
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: do and have ever done, which is be a professional
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball knuckleballer.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised he's 52. That sounds old for him.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: That's the other good thing, though, man. If you're a knuckleball.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Pitcher in the pros, you can have a long career
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: because you're not overthrowing ever.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I think Charlie Huff was 65 when he finally retired.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I think, I think Charlie Hoff was so old when
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: he retired. It wasn't because he couldn't throw the ball anymore.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: It's because he just wanted to collect social security.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Screwing up his Medicare.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: It really was. I can't think of any other time,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: but I think you may be right. He may have
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: been the only major league baseball player to retire and
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: actually be able to be of age to start collecting social.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And some, and the fact, that his ugly ass is
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: somehow genetically linked to Derek and Julianne Hough is just
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: beyond me.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: That may be the most mind-boggling fact of the whole
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Hough family.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, those two kids, those are some good-looking kids.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Charlie Hough, the complete opposite.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: You could not.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you could find one normal... If you
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: could find one guy to just put a fedora, a
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: striped shirt, and a knife glove hand and still look
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: like Freddy Krueger... it would be Charlie Huff.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't even need to put him in the makeup chair.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: He's like, no, he's good.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Just go out there and scare kids. Winona Ryder is
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: 55 today. Speaking of things.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: And that's one of those interesting things, because remember, she
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: was the one, she got almost blacklisted because of the
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: whole shoplifting thing, right?
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: She, so.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: It's a weird thing that has happened with some of
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: these 80s, 90s actors. When they were young, they did
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: some bad stuff, and then they came out of it
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: no problem. The ultimate example of this is Robert Downey Jr.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: But Winona Ryder is in that same club. Because you're right, Trey,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I think people forgot about her whole shoplifting thing. Like, eh, whatever.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: But she was in her 20s. I feel like she
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: was in her late... That wasn't just a teen thing.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I think she was an adult.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, she definitely was old enough to know better.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's almost been completely forgotten about, which is
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: another reason that makes me sad about Paul Rubens, Pee
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Wee Herman.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Got such a raw deal with the adult theater thing,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and if that happens today, there is barely any blowback.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, Robert Downey Jr. was almost killed by a
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: guy because he woke up in some girl's bed because
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: he was so high on drugs. He had broken in
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: and was asleep in some girl's bed. The guy almost
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: killed him. Had that happened, we wouldn't necessarily have the
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: same MCU we have today.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Listen, I will always say this. I don't think his
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: character in Less Than Zero was a stretch for him.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I think he was pulling on some serious experience there.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. But props to Winona Ryder. She
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: had her shoplifting phase and came out of it just fine.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Scrolling down to see if there's any other good birthdays today.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, as well as
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Krusty the Clown, Grandpa Simpson, and a number of other
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Simpsons characters. He is 69. today. Now that is a
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: good gig. Backup quarterback in the NFL and voice actor
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: on The Simpsons. Two of the best jobs in the world.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Especially because, and I think he goes back to the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Tracy Allman show.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: He does. He's one of the originals. Him and Julie Kavner.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Yep. Yep.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Those two and Harry Shearer, I think, were the original three.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: That was a throwaway skit on the Tracy Ullman show.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: That was just a time filler between skits. It was
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: just a cartoon time filler. And it turned out to
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: be the biggest thing to come out of the Tracy
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Ullman show.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just... I mean, that and... Oh, God.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: What's the Jason Sudeikis soccer show? I just drew a blank.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, don't tell him. Don't tell him. Let's make him sweat.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Do you feel restless and anxious? Feel like something's missing
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: in your life? Maybe you just need a little more

• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Because this is one of those times I know the answer.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Damn it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Damn it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: This is one of the times where it's like, usually
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I'm the one that brain farts. So I want to,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I want someone else to hang out in the barrel.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: You know, that, that was literally a promo when NBC
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: got the premier league 20 years ago. And they somehow,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you know, turn that into a huge show more seasons.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: And I would not be surprised if they make a movie.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. They make a fifth season.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: That too.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Did you watch the four seasons?
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: I haven't.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I haven't even finished the third season. For some reason,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: we stopped watching the third season. So what I want
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: to do is just go back to the beginning, start
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: it over, and re-watch all of it, and go through
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: and finish out this fourth season. I love that show.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Love it. And one of my favorite scenes in a
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: television show ever is the be curious, not judgmental scene
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: when he's playing darts with the rich dude. Love it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I love that scene so much. It makes me so happy.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Be curious, not judgmental.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Now I do wonder about that show though. If that
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't premiere during COVID, is it as big?
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I know the easy answer is, I don't know, but
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great show, but I think it
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: resonated so much during that time.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: It was sort of lightning in a bottle. It really
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: was sort of lightning in a bottle. And you're right, Trey,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I stepped all over you there. Times were kind of dark.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: We really didn't know what was happening. Everyone was mad
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: and angry, and some people were afraid. It really was
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: a perfect show at the perfect time.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. Two more.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Richard Dreyfuss is 79. That is a Hollywood legend.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Have you seen him lately?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: No.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: The last thing I heard out of him, it sounded
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: like he was reprising his role in the American president
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: as the Republican senator bad guy. And he actually sounded
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: like the guy from the movie. But I think it
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: was just him talking.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: He looks like the grumpy old man that you suspected
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: he would. I mean, it's... I mean, he... Did you ever...
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Did you see Mr. Holland's opus? Oh, yeah.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great movie.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: He's become grumpier and fatter. But... Okay, so I.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Have seen him recently.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: This really is one of Hollywood's legends. And it's a
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: true testament to how you can be a phenomenal actor
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: and a leading man without looking like a leading man
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: in Hollywood, right? Because he doesn't, never had, and still
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: never will. But that didn't stop him from starring in
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, American Graffiti, Mr. Holland's Opus, Jaws.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: And can we just take a brief moment to appreciate
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: the greatness that is one of his other fine pieces
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: of film work, and that is Opposite Bill Murray.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: What about Bob? Not enough people know and love this
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: movie that should.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Watch it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: If you have never seen What About Bob, then you
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: don't know what it truly is to go sailing. Or
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: to have OCD. Or the value of vacation time. Go
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: see What About Bob. All right, I think that'll do
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: it for us on birthdays today. Unless anyone has any
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: last minute. Oh, sorry. Sorry, Mackie. Sorry, Mackie.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Also, Richard Dreyfuss in one of the great 80s movies, Stakeout.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Opposite Emilio Estevez. And possibly, possibly one of Richard Dreyfuss'
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: finest works of courage in film was opposite Rosie O'Donnell
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: in Stakeout 2. Because you know he was like, what
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: happened to my girlfriend in the first one?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: No. He was like, how much? Okay.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: That'll do it. That really will do it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you, Mackie. I appreciate that. Stakeout was
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: a great movie. That would be a fun double feature
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: night for Richard Dreyfuss' birthday. Stakeout. What about Bob? That's good.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: All right, let's transition here. Let me see what sound
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: effects I have. Oh, that's just a sad one. Hang on.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: It's been a while since I played with my Rodecaster. Nope.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: We'll use that. How about that? There we go. Am
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I the a-hole? My friend called me a bitch and
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: a horrible friend over a wedding rule.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Well, the next line makes it worse, Jerry. She says,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: please bear with me as this is a long post.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: And it's actually not that long.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: It's not that long? Okay.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I see.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: It's not that bad. Okay, here she goes. Me, 27-year-old female,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: and my fiance, 32-year-old male, are getting married next year
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: in the spring. Spring wedding. We sent out invites two
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: weeks ago to friends and family. One rule we have
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: for our wedding is that it will be child-free. Oh. Oh,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: hang on.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I need another sound effect here.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: That's the wrong one. Hang on. Although a fitting one.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: The one rule we have for our wedding is that
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: it will be child-free. Why do I get goosebumps thinking
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: about a child-free wedding?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I was curious your insights on this.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: On a child-free wedding or this entire scenario?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Well... the entirety of it, but also do you, do
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you get those like child-free weddings or.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: On a, not really on purpose. Sometimes it just happens
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: if it's like just a two person elopement.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: It's just like, I'll marry them on the beach. It's,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: it's the couple. And sometimes it'll be the couple and
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: their best friends. So yeah, something like that may not
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: have kids, but it's not like a huge event. That's child-free.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: As you can tell, I'm all for a child-free wedding,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: especially if I'm attending it. Honestly, if I'm working it,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: it's fine too. But she says, we're going to have
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: drinking games and other games that are not suitable for children.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: This actually sounds like me and Tara's wedding, which there
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: were kids and it was fine. And she goes on
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: to say, and not only that, my partner and I
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: both agree that we feel children would be disruptive. So
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: we came to the decision to keep it child free.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: One particular friend, there's always one I have, has two children,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: both under the age of seven. She sent me a
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: long text, and to summarize, it basically said I knew
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: her financial situation and that I know she can't afford
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: a babysitter, and now she can't come to the wedding
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: because of it being child-free. I was honestly shocked at
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: first because of how entitled it sounded, so I replied.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: I told her that I completely understood if she couldn't
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: find a solution to the problem, but we would definitely
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: miss her and could get together eventually to hang out
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: as a way to fix the missed time. I also
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: told her that I would be okay if her husband
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: did not attend. Neither me or my fiancé are particularly
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: close with him, so I thought, hey, Maybe that could work.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: We would miss him, too. Doesn't sound like it, but
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: it would be OK. And he could stay home with
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: the kids. She sent a message back. And this one
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I'm now going to paste. She says, I'm sorry, but
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: are you being effing serious right now? You know, my
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: financial situation, you know, for a fact, I can't even
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: afford my groceries. I have to sell my effing food
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: stamps to pay bills. You think I can seriously afford
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: a babysitter? You're crazy if you think that I don't
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: even want to come to your wedding. You inconsiderate bitch.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: back to the regular message. I didn't even reply to
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: this one because I was honestly just baffled. She sent
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: that last one yesterday and it's been on red for
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: 19 hours. Am I the a-hole? Am I being inconsiderate?
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Should I just pay for a babysitter? IDK. It's your wedding.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: You do what you want. Now, with that, there may
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: be some comeuppance. There may be some fallout from it.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: You may be some people that don't appreciate or don't
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: want you to do a certain thing. But at the
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: end of the day, it's your wedding. You do what
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you want. And that's not just me. I mean, for
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: the most part, that's what my wife tells her clients.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Because a lot of times, wedding clients that my wife
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: has will be like, oh, can we do this? Or
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: is that kind of like, oh, you don't do that.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: And Tara's like, don't worry about what other people think
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: or whatever society says you're supposed to do. This is
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: your wedding. You can do whatever you want.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I had to say that a number of times when
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I was doing weddings because I did I did secular
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: comedy weddings. And there's always people in the family that
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: do not dig.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: It's just they don't want punchlines. They want, you know, praise.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Right. And it's like you just got to you got
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: to tell the bride and groom. It's like you guys
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: wanted this. It's your day. And, you know, grandma, I'll
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: get over it. And if need be, we can, we
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: can have a punchline ceremony. Just tell me to not
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: roast grandma.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: But you also, you have to have, if you know
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: your friend is having financial problems and you do that, you,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: you can't be surprised that there's going to be hurt feelings.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Right. You're absolutely right about that. That's where it goes
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: back to. You can do what you want, but don't
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: be surprised if it pisses off some people.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: And If you're doing well enough and it's important that
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: your friend be there, then yeah, offer to pay for
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: a babysitter.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: At the very least.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: But especially when you go, oh, and it's okay if
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: your husband doesn't come too.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, that one. That line she should not have put
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: in there. She didn't say it in the text that
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: we don't care if he's there or not, but by
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the fact she said your husband can stay home with
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: the kids, you very much implied that you don't care
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: and don't want him there. It's like, yeah, that's... There's
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: a whole lot wrong in that text message that that
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: bride-to-be sent.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I can see both sides, but I
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: feel like the bride-to-be maybe lacks some self-awareness about the situation.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, absolutely. This is where you need to be aware,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: and this is something I think that the younger generation
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a lot of, and that is just general awareness.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Because maybe this is some of the lack of socialization.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you. If you do something out of the norm,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: you're probably going to have people respond in a negative way.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Some people might love it. Some people might hate it.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Like there are people that decide not to do a
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: big wedding at all and they just straight up elope
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: or whether they do like a beach wedding in Cancun
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: or they just go to the courthouse and do it.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: That can be really insulting to some family members. Like
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: some parents are genuinely hurt. If their kids just go
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: elope and don't tell anybody, or they just go to
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: the courthouse and do it. Because sometimes the family members
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: want the party, the celebration, the whole thing. These are
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: discussions you should have with your kids if they're important
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: to you. If you're a dad and you really want
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: to give your daughter away and do that daddy-daughter dance,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: you better tell her. Because through no fault of your own,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: maybe she has something else that she wants to do.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: That was a lesson I learned the hard way. My
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: parents split up when I was nine. And when they split,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: my dad and my sister stayed in Oklahoma and my
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: mom took me to Dallas. So my childhood started out
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: quasi normal with a family unit as dysfunctional and abusive
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: as it was. And then it fractured. And then there
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: was a huge distance involved in all of it.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: So at most, I would see my dad twice a year.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I might go in the summer for a week or two,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: and then I'd usually go for a week in between
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Christmas and New Year's. When it came time to buy
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: a car, my mom did it like a year early.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: And we went to, I think it was Arlington, Moritz,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: and got a used S10 Blazer. And it wasn't long
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: after that when I found out my dad was genuinely
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: hurt because... he wanted that to be something that he
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: and I did together. He wanted that to be a
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: shared moment between us that he would take his son and,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: you know, do that first car purchase. God, I'm getting
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: emotional thinking about it. And even to this day, I
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: feel bad about that. Like, I feel like, I mean,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I just didn't think about it and it's not really
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: my fault because how was I supposed to know he
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: was thinking about that? He never told me.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: And also I had just turned like 15 and, The
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: thought of getting a car on a Saturday, of course
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: I was completely.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Like, hell yeah, let's do this. I wasn't thinking about
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: the fallout.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not your fault. I mean, that's something that either,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: or really the parents, they should have communicated between them,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: your mom and dad.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But that's one of those things that I told
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: my dad later on. It's like, oh my God, dad,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: I had no idea. I felt, like I said, even
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: to this day, I feel badly about it.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: Like I wish, like at one point I told him,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: I was like, if you want to buy me my
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: second car, we can do that.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: This is what a complete C word. My mother was,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: is my first car. She presented like she had bought
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: it for me. And I, and my dad kept his
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: mouth shut for years, but then I found, come to
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: find out later that he had actually bought it. Wow.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: And people wonder why you have such a complicated relationship
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: with your mother. Well, no, no, no, no. It's pretty simple.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: She's on a shelf in my closet now.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: And ironically, it's the closest the two of you have
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: ever been. Oh, that is so jacked up.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Speaking of things.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: So you can do whatever you want in a wedding,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: but expect some people to be butthurt about it. That's
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: the short. Let's do one more here. There is a
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: manhunt underway in Tennessee after a convicted murderer escaped prison.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Man, you can't kill a man. You can't keep him in. Damn.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Tennessee's having some issues.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. ERCOT of prison systems. I mean.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: You really only got two jobs.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Contain them or kill them.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: And you fail. You failed twice on the kill them. Yeah.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: In like the same season.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Same night.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, Oh, is that what happened? Oh, maybe the
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: guy took advantage of the botched execution of the lady
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: in Tennessee. And then he took that as his Shawshank
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: moment to escape. No, no.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, they tried to kill her twice
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: in that same night and they failed both times. Like that's, that's,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: that's a, It's like, you're trying to F that up.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure the head of prisons in Tennessee
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: is going to get a phone call from the governor. Like, dude,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: come on.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Is it that hard?
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Clearly. Yeah.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: And can we talk about this real quick? I forgot
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: her name, the lady that they attempted to execute twice
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee. If you can't do it right twice, then
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: she gets a pass.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's one instance. I'll agree with you. That's double
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: jeopardy on death.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Don't get me wrong. I am not, unlike a
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: lot of people, I am not pro-life death penalty hypocrite.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: I am absolutely for the death penalty. I'm a big
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: fan of punishment. If you're that bad, kill it. Kill
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: that thing. That being said, if the person survives two
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: lethal injections... I'm not saying release her. She just wrought
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: her remaining days alive, but still in prison. If you
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: can't get it done right twice, then free pass. You tried.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: I'm right there with you. You gave it your Tennessee best.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't ever let her out, though, because that's
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: what pissed off bitch.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. She's got more to be angry about now.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, though, man. Davy Crockett really had
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: it right. Go to Texas. It's what they should have
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: done with this chicken on death row. Texas should just, like,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: just insource all of this stuff. If you're a state
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: that has a death penalty, just, you know what? Outsource
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: your people to Texas. We'll do it right. We got you.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: There's never been a botched execution in Texas. No?
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: Uh-uh.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Because worse come to worse, someone's going to come in
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: with a shotgun. You ain't leaving this room, Jack.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Old Sparky's still there somewhere.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine pulling that thing out of storage and
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: blowing on the plug and plugging it.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: In?
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Hitting the cap that goes on, knocking the dust off.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine being the death row guy watching that? Like,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Oh God, no, please. Anything but that. Please don't make
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: me be the first of old Sparky out of storage.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:21
