  Speaker 1: It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley, along with
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today's Thursday, August fourteenth, twoenty
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: twenty five. Almost at the end of this week, I've
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: decided to bring back throw Back Thursday. If you can
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: bring something back that you were throwing back originally, we're
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: doing that now again.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: All right, you almost sounded like Christopher Walking.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even trying. So let's go back in time.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The year's twenty twenty. A marilynd Man has been charged
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: after telling his friend he had a woman for him,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: but it was really him dressed as a woman.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: So progressive.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if one of your buddies ever tells you, hey,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I got a woman for you, I want you to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: remember this moment inside the treehouse. Sean Lamont Brooks was
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: forty seven at the time in Lexington Park, Maryland. He
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was arrested May thirteenth, twenty twenty and charged with a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: fourth degree sex offense and committing a perverted practice. Were
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: telling his friend he had a woman for him, but
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it was really him dressed as a woman. Court documents say.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: In the winter of twenty nineteen. Sorry, whenever I see that,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: especially in this story, all I can hear is it
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: was the Winter of our discontent. It was for the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: white guy.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Brooks engaged in sexual contact with an adult male victim
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: without the victim's consent and committed an unnatural and perverted
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: sexual practice with the victim. He is currently a registered
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: sex offender, and his previous crimes involved very similar circumstances,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: wherein Brooks used his position as a hairdresser to make
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: contact with his victims. Look, if we're being honest, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: sex crimes, they are bad and they have victims, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in this case, the old bait and switch really got
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this one, dude, and I had to double check.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Hang on, listen, hey, Jerry, you ever set a buddy
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: up on a date.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: One time?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Was it you?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: We have a copycatter.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Sometimes you just want to high top fade and you
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: get something a little more, you know.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I really did. I saw the story and I was like, Okay,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I need to verify this as best as I can.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It was actually pretty easy quick Google search of the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of the man's name, and there did pop up a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: story all the way back from the year twenty twenty
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: about the headline reads Lexington park man arrested after dressing
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: as a woman to have sex with a man at
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Lancaster Park. What I was curious about is how detailed
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: do they get in this story? And from what I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: can tell, it's pretty detailed. Would you like to hear more?
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Sure? Sure?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Okay? Throw back Thursday. On December eighteenth, twenty nineteen, Deputy W.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Fornanash of the Saint Mary's County Sheriff's Office made contact
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: with an adult male who said he believed he'd been
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: sexually assaulted by Sean Lamont Brooks. The victim advised in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: late September to October he got his hair done at
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the Executive Salon on Great Mills Road by Brooks. The
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: victim said Brooks offered to introduce him to some of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: his girlfriends that would be interested in meeting him, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a few days later Brooks contacted him and advised one
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of his girlfriends wanted to meet him and wanted to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: give him all. The victim agreed and picked up Brooks
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: from the salon, and Brooks instructed him to drive to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Lancaster Park on Willows Road in Lexington.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: That your first clue.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: I was about to say, there's already some flags on
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: this play.
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: Well, I just like the way Dan reads it, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: it probably was this case. Hey, she wants to give
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: you and gotta ask any questions.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, let's roll, buddy.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Where's the salon.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: On Great Mills Road. Once at the park, Brooks told
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the victim to sit on a bench and said he
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: would go get his girlfriend. The victim said he watched
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Brooks go into the woodline with a backpack, and a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: few minutes later, what he believed to be a female
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: emerged from the same wood line and sat next to him.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That's the fastest any woman's ever changed.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's like Superman in a foam booth. I can't wait
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to get this on. The victim told police that because
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of how dark it was, he was unable to completely
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: see the person's face or perhaps feel the stubble on
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: his face. The victim said as the person touched him
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: with their hand, he felt as though this person's hands
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we're a pretty We're pretty big for a female, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: he became suspicious that the female may be Brooks dressed
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: as a female. Victim told police the person began giving
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: him ah, I like, how, I like how the the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: quote unquote victim is suspicious, but still is like, well,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: let's see this through.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Twenty dollars.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: As the person was giving him ah, he observed what
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: he believed to be an outline of a beard, at
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: which time he began to think the person was not
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a female and in fact could be Lamont Brooks.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Or a Persian girl.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The victim said that's when he became scared and faked
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: an orgasm. The victims said that the person walked away
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: back into the woods. In a few minutes later, Lamont
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Brooks reappeared from the woods, and the victim said at
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: this point he was still unsure as to what happened. Therefore,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: he made contact with mister Brooks again and asked if
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: he could set up a second.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Meeting with the girlfriend.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, the Jeffersons had two Lamonts too.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: All I can see with this. Do you remember the
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: dating game skit on a Living Color where Jamie Fox
• 7:34

  Speaker 1: like Wanda uh services his uh hair client. Oh okay, Yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I'm also beginning to question the statement given by the

  Speaker 1: victim to police, in which he says, in part that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: he faked the orgasm.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: I have questions about that too.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Lamont, doesn't I mean, what was he? Uh?
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: Either he did or he was hoping to? Because yeah,
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: most people would be like, no stop now. I think
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: most people would not have gotten to this point.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: But do you really think they would be so adamant?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Tray or how you said like no stop now?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, talking about sounding like Christopher walking, Tray actually sounded
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit like Christopher no stop now.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Look at my watch. I've been hiding it for a while.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you brought it out of me. Speaking
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: speaking of going to a park for a date, Trey, Tonight,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: tonight is the big night, isn't it. It's Thursday. It's

• 12:02
  Speaker 1: M Yeah, are you in special prep mode? Are you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: doing any extra moisturizing on your skin? Are you going
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to break out a third loof of glove for the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: for the occasion.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: That is that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: And then maybe save a fourth glove on the wall

  Speaker 1: of the bathroom just in case you get lucky. Yeah, seriously, though,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: any any special last minute prep before you head out tonight.
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: Trying to not overthink it because I will think myself
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: out of going.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Well that's good. I'm proud of you for that, because
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: at this point it's essential and mandatory that you go.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: I give it twenty minutes. That's fine, that's that's that's
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: my thing, a trade. When he loses patience, it'll be
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: about twenty minutes in.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: I yeah, I don't know how this one's gonna go.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I really don't.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: I I don't think I've been this nervous since Katillion
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: in like fifth grade, where you know you had to
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: you know, you the boys are on one side, the
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: girls on the other, and you had to ask someone
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: to dance, and you just it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Was very awkward. That's how I feel.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I mean again, it is.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Let's see, I will celebrate nine years of sobriety on Sunday,
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: and but there is the one thing where you really
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: miss drinking liquid courage, just.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Taking the edge off just enough.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, nine years of sobriety, and you have yet
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to find a replacement for liquid courage.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: There is none.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, I'm sure that there is, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: it comes in the form of some other, uh substances.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's gonna come in the form of you
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: having to return all your chips again. I'm just I'm
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: happy for you, and I'm proud of you for going,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: even if it only lasts twenty minutes and you turned
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: into the angry, you know, anxious guy in the corner.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just glad you're going.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Can I make a prediction?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think you find the one?
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: The one?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: What Lamont Brooks?
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: How was that to say? Neo? No, I think you
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: find the lady.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Hi, Tray, I noticed you in the corner. I know
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: your name is Trey because I saw it on the
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: name tack on your chest. My name's Lamont, but my
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: boyfriend's called me Wanda.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Wasn't Lamont also on Sanford and Sons?
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a big dummy.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah No, I'm pretty sure that's where he his middle name,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: because his because his full legal name is Sean Lamont
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Brooks and he's forty seven, which tells you his parents
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: watched Sanford and Son. Therefore they got Lamont from the show.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Someone was a big dummy.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: If I had any idea how an edible would hit me,
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't even be opposed to that. But I just
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: have no A few times I've I've messed like a
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: Delta eight or Delta nine gummy. It is all over
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: the spectrum on how it hits me, and so I
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: can't like.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: I have some Colorado gummies and I would I would
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: give you like a quarter of it, so it would
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: be like five milligrams.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: It's I have it is I said for sleep and
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: other things. I have messed around like with some of that,
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: and I there is no rhyme or reason to how
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: it hits me like there's But I could end up
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: being fine, I could end up slobbering in the corner.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna have to.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: So I'm coming then.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Because I want to see how I'll bring the five milligram.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: I just want to see how it's on the Dainty Trail.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we try that for the next event, depending
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on how this one goes. Let's have him raw dog
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this Dainty Trail event and see how it goes. I
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: do have another suggestion for you. I'm on this one.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm serious about what you don't think I have your
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: best interest in mind?
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: No, I think you're looking for a segment three.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: No, he's looking for a show.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a segment I want to show out of this. Okay, Look,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: you're obviously not going to take Daisy, which was my
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: first recommendate. And take Daisy. She's an icebreaker, she's kind
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of your emotional support chihuahua. Uh and she's and she's
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you know, she's a chick magnet. So she kind of
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: checks a lot of box for you. But if it
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: might be unfair and they might say you're not allowed
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to have a pet.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Well, if this event was actually on the Katie Trail,
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: I probably would, but it's not. It's actually off Greenville,
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: So okay, I doubt that she would even be allowed.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So because of that, I have a different suggestion, okay,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and something that might help give you a little bit
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of courage and a little bit of comfort in a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: very awkward situation. Okay, since you quit drinking, what's the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: one thing you absolutely love more than your dog or
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: as much.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Sugar?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Snickerdoodles.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Snicker doodles specifically, snickerdoodles, right, yes, because you would do
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: what for a snickerdoodle?
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: You know, at some point, especially when I'm quit drinking,
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: I'd got a man for a snicker doodle.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: All right, that's the line I was looking for. So
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: here's what you do. You go to tiff Streets or
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: call tiff Streets. They'll bring it to you. That's the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: beauty of tiff Streets. They deliver you, get you a
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: dozen cookies, make sure you get a hand like four
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: or something, force nicker doodles for yourself, and you've got
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a box of cookies something that you can hold, so
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: now you don't have to worry about what to do
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: with your hands, especially because you don't drink and don't
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: want to have something awkward, and you have a little
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: comfort food there because you love snicker doodles, and it
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: might put you at ease because you're enjoying one of
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: your favorite treats. And a box of cookies is going
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to act as an icebreaker slash attractant to any female
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that might be tempted by such things.
• 18:45

  Speaker 7: one thing I love, you know since I quit drinking,

  Speaker 1: Couples who bond over this nasty habit are happier. Okay,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: see if you can guess this. Couples who bond over
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: this nasty habit are happier. What do you think that
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: habit is? Trey will start with you. Any guesses this
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: nasty habit?
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Picking your nose?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, raj.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Passing gas.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Jerry, do you have a guess on the nasty habit
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: that makes couples happier?
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Farting was mine?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: So right, there we go. Couples who bond over this
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: nasty habit are happier. Gossip Gossiping with your spouse can
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: improve your relationship, or so, says a new study from
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Uce Riverside in California. Seventy six couples wore special devices
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and agreed to have their conversations recorded throughout the day.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: About four thirteen percent of their entire day was taped,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and they found we spend an average of thirty eight
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: minutes a day gossiping, and twenty nine of those minutes
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: are spent gossiping with our significant other, so that means
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: our significant other is our biggest partner in crime. Researchers
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: think gossiping together makes us closer because it's a form
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: of emotional bonding, and it also reinforces the idea that
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you're on the same team. And it doesn't matter if
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the gossip is positive or negative. They actually say negatively,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: gossiping with one's romantic partner on the way home from
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: a party could signal that the couple's bond is stronger
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: than with their friends at the party, and then positive
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: gossip could prolong the fun experiences that you had. So
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: gossiping is the nasty habit that will make your relationship happier.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: I feel like this is a thing that where the
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: woman is doing ninety five percent of the talking and
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: the guy's going yeah, okay, yeah, Becky, she crazy.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: What you do smile a nod or just just respond
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: with approving.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: And and the and the occasional time you really want
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: to event about somebody, it's probably considered gossiping. And then yeah,
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: she'll listen for a minute and then turn the conversation
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: back to her day.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, I mean, are we really talking
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: about gossip or is this really just talking about your
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: friends that one.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Mhm.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: I don't think my aunt's had any friends so outside
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: of work, But she like she liked a gossip and
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: I like to listen because it was kind of fun.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: M h.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I don't really talk about people like that. It's not
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: it's not in my wheelhouse, but.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: Well it's it's interesting. Like my last relationship, we met
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: through the same for the lack of a better term,
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: social circles, Like, we knew a lot of the same people,
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: so things would come up where it did make it
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: at least when she wanted to, you know, and most
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: of the time it was her talking, but at least
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: I knew who she was talking about, and yeah it
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: was you know, I could feign some interest in it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: And then she knew my old bosses, and so when
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: I would, you know, then about them, then she understood.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm not a big gossiper. I do like
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: to listen to it. I think that's entertaining.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And I like how you say gossiping is not in
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: your wheelhouse. But if if you're actively listening to me.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: You're that's that's approving, that's you know.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean sometimes I get material out of it,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: so that that's.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Oh so it's for work now, Oh it's well, oh
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: it's for stand upright, then I can write it off.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see your accountant's face when you say
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I have to write off four nine and twenty two
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: minutes of speaking with my significant other, please.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And you would go, we can do that.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: You can do anything on your taxes as long as
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: as long as no one calls your bluff. That's really
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that's all it really is. Yeah, audit,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want on your taxes on
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the ten forty or whatever forms you fill out, as
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: long as you file. That's step number one. Step number
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: two is just whether or not someone decides to question
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: any of it. And if they don't, it doesn't matter
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: what you put in those things.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, some of the stuff that I like for stage,
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: like the stage clothes, Like I don't wear all of
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: it on stage, but I still write it off And
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: I'm like, you bought that, Okay, I'll take the I'll

• 25:44
  Speaker 2: To my accountant, Yeah, over a dinner that we're gonna

  Speaker 7: many big pencils?
• 25:58

• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Has Daisy, your three pound chihuahua, ever been any sort
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of what's what I'm trying to think of? Has she
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: ever contributed financially to the household?
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: No, I've never made her get a job?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, there might be an opportunity here for Daisy.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: All right, the search is on for the next four
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: legged star of air Bud Returns. And who better to
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: fill the little Golden Retriever sneakers than Daisy, your fourteen
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to fifteen year old, three pound toothless Chihuahua.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, who is smaller than a sneaker.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: That's much less of basketball, right, I think that that
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: might involve some Cgi.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: She would be the she would be the spud web
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: of dogs.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: That a few weeks ago it was announced that a
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: new air Bud is in the works, called air Bud Returns.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: And now the search is on to find the new
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: air Bud, which obviously sounds like an adorable casting call. However,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: they're being very Hollywood about it. Instead of opening the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: doors up entirely to all sorts of dogs, they're actually
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: staying with the blonde hair, blue eyed Golden Retriever style.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I know, brown eye, but you get the idea. They're
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: sticking with the Golden Retriever.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: They want a pure, pure bread Golden Retriever only. But
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: if you think yours could be the next star, you
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: can submit an application online. Even if your Goldie is
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: not chosen, you're still eligible to win prizes like Airbud jerseys,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: signed movie merch hopefully by the dog, or a trip
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to the premiere in Los Angeles. Airbud Returns is supposed
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: to be in theaters next summer. I see this as
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: very myopic on the part of Hollywood. Hollywood as an
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: institution has long been very progressive and it's casting choices. Okay, well,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: sometimes I just see an opportunity here to open the
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: doors a little bit. You know, why does Airbud have
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to be a golden retriever. I think I think you
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: should open it up to another breed someone, you know.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, Let's let's make it a meritocracy.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Let's find the best dog for the job.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: I never saw the movie, so I don't know what
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: it's is a basketball playing dog?
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Is that what we're basically?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think so, gotcha. I'll send Grace's picture in
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: and see what they say.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Your little pit bull puppy.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Could do.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: It could do wonders for the stigma around pitbulls.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, if you were on the best dog for the
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: dog like, it would probably be a Belgian malinwah uh, yeah.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: You know, and they would shoot you while they're going
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: up for the dunk.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because those are the dogs that are very common
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: in police and military, also known as fur missiles.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: What does it big the case corso something like that
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: is that? Oh yeah, those things beautiful cheese. Look at
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: the size of that, like scary. You want to talk
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: about you want to talk about being able to dunk?
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: That's like they're doing Tomahawk dunks.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: It's the Dominique Wilkins of dogs. I still like the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: idea of having Tray's dog Daisy, I mean, a three
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: pound old ash Chihuahwa with no teeth. I feel like
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: making dreams come true. It really would be an inspiring story.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Here's this little dog that everyone thinks can't possibly play basketball,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: yet she finds a way. Now, some people are inevitably
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: going to say Hollywood is gone too woke because it's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a little Mexican dog that somehow found its way into
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: America and into air bud sneakers. So some people are
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: gonna fan the flames of controversy on that side. But
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I say stick with it. I think it's an inspiring story.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: She gets arrested by Ice at the end.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: They found her because she won at the end. Yeah,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: she's a S thirteen. Yeah, the tattoos just underneath her collar.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Cross her little pause.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: The credit scene is her on a on a flame
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: on a plane to Elf Salvador.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: With all the other juhuahua's like like loved you in
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: Airbud two man.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But the good news is is Airbud two returns
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: again is actually going to be more of a Conair two.

• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Of course, who's the John Malkovich of the Chihualas? Which one?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Uh, that's where we'll have to do a little role appropriation.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: So instead of it being a hardcore Chihuahua, it'll be
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the slack jawed pug from Deadpool and Wolverine. All right,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: today is actually Danny Trea can still play himself.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Yeah.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Today is Thursday, August fourteenth, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: today with some birthdays. Speaking of the Deadpool movies, actress
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Bringanna Hildebrand is twenty nine today. She's the one that
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: plays Negasnic teenage Warhead, which is still by far and
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Deadpool said this in that first movie.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: One of the coolest names for a super hero that
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I can that I that I'm aware of Negasnic teenage Warhead.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: So, but the interaction was great, by the way, every
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: single time. And then the girlfriend was fantastic as well.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, the anime girlfriend.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Anyway, she's twenty nine today. Tim Tebow turns thirty eight.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Mister Christian yep Hall Lou. Tim Tebow made it thirty eight,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: did not make it in the NFL. Some think that
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: he got the shaft on that he would say, well,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus would disapprove.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: So No, he was just he was just not good.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was just a bust.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but so many people say, well, look at that
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: playoff game he won, okay, the one, the one about
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: as many as Romo and Prescott.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: But he wasn't like it. He just wasn't good.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: No, the truth about her is he wasn't a great
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: He wasn't a great college quarterback. He was just in
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: a great system at at the right time and where
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: you know, he could throw it well enough and and
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: and he was big and he could run. But yeah,
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: he was an awful NFL quarterback.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Those Florida teams with Tim Tebow are a master class
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: in head coaching about because what's what's the the the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: old tried and true thing about coaching. What is coaching,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: it's putting your players in the best possible position to win.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what urban Meyer did in those in
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: those years because he saw Tim Tebow and thought, Okay,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: we're not going to run a spread style, pro offense
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: type situation. We're gonna have Tim Tebow basically be a
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: glorified running back that occasionally throws the ball.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: I mean, urban Meyer's talent was putting him in the
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: best place. It was keeping them out of jail.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's true.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, no taken. So yeah, it was like a
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: one A one B kind of thing.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a two A. It's an AA kind
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: of thing.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: I mean, think about who Team Tebow's you know, traveling
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: roommate was when they were on the road.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Was it Aaron Hernandez?
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, let's go murder and then pray.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: So like Tim Tebow was mister Gator and Aaron Hernandez
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: was mister Murder.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, I know. He was the first part of Gator.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: That was his big problem.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: H Happy birthday, Tim. Meela Cunis is forty two today,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: married to Ashton Kutcher, so their whole kind of life
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: has come full circle where they started out on that
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: seventies show together, had little crushes on each other. I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: think he may have even dated back on that show,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and then eventually they often get married with interesting romances
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: for each other in between. Meela Cunis turns forty two.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Christopher Gorum is fifty one. It's from the show Insatiable.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: He was also Jake two point zero, Piper Perabo's handler

• 38:20
  Speaker 1: That's lube hilarious.
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: I like my when she won the oscar, but that
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: was my one of my favorite moments when she thanked

• 38:30
  Speaker 6: they cut to her mom and she's white. The unintentioned

• 40:04
  Speaker 1: taxes earlier in the show. I forget exactly why. But
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: in the break, Jerry, you were telling us that was
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: it last year or this year, whatever it was, you
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: had to actually pay taxes for the first time ever.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, Oh it sucks.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I hate that.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Never been on that end of it before.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I paid once. I paid one hundred
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: and eighty one dollars. That's what I had to pay once.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, you're self employed. How was it you're not
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: paying taxes? Oh okay, never mind, I answered my own question.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just not Dan, Okay, thanks.
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: No, it's just as comics they changed the laws for entertainers,
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: so you can ride a lot of stuff off.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: So anything I.
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: Buy, like clothes wise, or shoes or makeup or whatever,
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: I can write all of that off. Food, as long
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: as I have a conversation about business, I can ride
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: all of that off as well.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Travel to write all that off.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: Do you have to art? You were saying.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: That's part of what we were saying before, is that
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what you file when it comes to taxes,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: as long as you file something, because chances are the
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: irs and go. Okay, Dan did his trade, did his
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: raj did his Jerry did his fine, and nothing may
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: ever come from it, unless someone decided to take a
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: look at it a little bit closer and go, hey,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: some of this doesn't add up. So you really can
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: file whatever and then just hope that you don't get caught,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: which is what a lot of people do. And so
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I find it interesting that as self employed you've only
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: had to pay once I realized you can write lots
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: of stuff off. But that seems shocking to me.
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean think about it, like all my gas,
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: all I'm going back and forth to the clubs, all
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: that comes off, all the wear and tear, the oil
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: changes everything, tires, I mean, everything gets right off because
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: I use that for transportation to go to my job.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I think the more specific version of that, the way
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: that's supposed to work is the percentage for which you
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: use it for the job. Tray is now smiling because
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: having both worked in real estate, we know kind of
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: how that goes. You can't just write off everything, but
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: again that goes back to it doesn't matter if you
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: don't get audited. If you don't get audited, then you're good.
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: Yes, So though I always do the wink wing nuts nudge,
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: you can write everything off, but you can write everything off.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: But I mean, obviously if somebody was to come and check,
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: there would be a I would have to pay quite
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: a bit.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, being self employed now I have to pay, and
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: paying sucks. Yes, And while I'll write off some stuff,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I don't write off everything, just in case someone does
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: decide to look a little too closely at the stuff.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be like, well, I'm going to
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: disappear from the planet now.
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the one Irs agent in the US Virgin Islands,
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: they have.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: The time, so yeah, you want to be careful.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Their hands are still kind of full with Epstein's mess.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: So you had to pay for the first time. Jerry,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: my sympathies. That's never a fun feeling. I know that
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: that stings a little bit. I remember, yeah, uh, that
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: is one of the benefits of working for somebody else,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: especially if it's a large company. They'll do all that
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: taking of the money out of for you and then
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: maybe you get some back in the end. But I
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: remember in I was in high school and my mom
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: did my taxes, and I remember one time she told me, oh,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: it looks like you're getting a return back one hundred dollars,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, cool, that's about right. I
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: think it was like my second year of having to
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: file taxes. And then like a couple of weeks later,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: she's like, Hey, remember how I said you you're going
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: to get back a couple hundred. Yeah, it turns out
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you owe a couple hundred.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: What.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: This is the woman that worked in accounting for sixteen
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: years at Phillips Petroleum Company. And I told her, I
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: was like, how do you mess that up? How do
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I go from being owed money to owing money? You
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: wear an accountant? How are you this bad at taxes?
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Is this why Phillips Petroleum Company went down the toilet?
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: You mom bankrupted? Phillips's a powerful woman or really bad
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: at maths?
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Both both can be true. I mean, she is a
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: strong willed woman and horrible at accounting. Sorry, mister Phillips,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: your gas station's gotta go back.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: She had gas stations repossessed.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it really does make sense when I look
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: back on it. I mean, she did work for the
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: sixteen crucial years at the Phillips Petroleum Company when they
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: were needing to downsize because they somehow couldn't make oil
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: and gas profitable.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: They couldn't make payments. How many how many people does
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: your mom have laid off?
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: Did she then turn to work in radio? She's a
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: ceover at Diheart.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Now, yeah, we know radio revenue is down seven percent,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: but a bit is up six For all things Treehouse,
