0:44
Speaker 2: Trady Trendholm Man. If we're being honest, the Olympics have
0:54
Speaker 2: turned out to be yet another big giant best in
0:57
Speaker 2: the Mountains.
1:01
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why people are surprised.
1:10
Speaker 2: I don't think they're surprised that the athletes are all
1:13
Speaker 2: having sex. That's pretty normal. But what isn't normal is
1:25
Speaker 2: that the ten thousand free condoms supplied to the Olympic
1:29
Speaker 2: village at the beginning of the twenty twenty six Olympics
1:32
Speaker 2: are already gone and we still have like another week
1:38
Speaker 2: or so of competitions.
1:41
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not shocking that they run out. I
1:45
Speaker 1: think they do that in almost every games. I think
1:47
Speaker 1: what they didn't really factor in is the fact that
1:50
Speaker 1: they're now dealing with primarily gen Z athletes, and we
1:54
Speaker 1: don't know. They could be having an ffest. They could
1:58
Speaker 1: be making party balloons, little animal shapes with him.
2:05
Speaker 2: It's funny you mentioned that because there is an interesting
2:09
Speaker 2: new study about the sex lives of gen Z that
2:11
Speaker 2: I'm going to share with you here in just a
2:13
Speaker 2: little bit, and it is shocking, and it's not that
2:17
Speaker 2: far off of what you just said about proper usage
2:21
Speaker 2: of the condoms. But back to the snowy Alps of
2:27
Speaker 2: Milano Cortina, which, by the way, sounds like a new
2:32
Speaker 2: leather package on an outstanding new luxury vehicle. Yeah yeah,
2:40
Speaker 2: what was it, the fine Corinthian leather of a Cadillac
2:44
Speaker 2: or something that was voiced by Ricardo Montalban.
2:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that, Yeah, yeah.
2:51
Speaker 2: Which then got new life when Ryan Reynolds has a
2:54
Speaker 2: deadpool brought that line back as his face is being
2:56
Speaker 2: smushed up against the backseat of a car. Anyway, supplies
3:03
Speaker 2: have run bone dry at the twenty twenty six Winter Olympics,
3:09
Speaker 2: the free condoms dulled out the athletes are reportedly gone.
3:13
Speaker 2: An anonymous athlete told Italian news outlet les Stempa that
3:18
Speaker 2: all the condoms in Northern Italy's Olympic village were snatched
3:22
Speaker 2: up in just seventy two hours. The athlete did say
3:27
Speaker 2: the suppliers promised us more will arrive, but who knows.
3:31
Speaker 2: When look, I realized it's not supposed to be a
3:35
Speaker 2: common thing to pull out at the Olympics during competition.
3:41
Speaker 2: But maybe in the village you can work on that
3:44
Speaker 2: side of the equation. Competitors were provided fewer than ten
3:51
Speaker 2: thousand condoms compared to the Paris Games, when they were
3:56
Speaker 2: given over three hundred thousand. Oh my god, that's a
4:01
Speaker 2: lot of screwing. The difference might be partly due to
4:07
Speaker 2: the number of athletes. The Winter Games are hosting under
4:10
Speaker 2: three thousand participants compared to the Paris Summer Olympics, where
4:15
Speaker 2: the athletes measured at ten thousand, five hundred, So they're
4:23
Speaker 2: basically going a three to one ratio of condoms to
4:27
Speaker 2: athletes at these games.
4:31
Speaker 1: Dealing with especially the winter athletes that have basically think
4:36
Speaker 1: been isolated for four years doing nothing but training and
4:41
Speaker 1: now they're you know, around a bunch of other very
4:44
Speaker 1: elite athletes, and it, as it always is, it's a
4:48
Speaker 1: damn ffest Like this isn't I keep seeing the story
4:54
Speaker 1: of people just like shocked, and we get the story
4:58
Speaker 1: every two years during the Olympics. Yeah, like this is.
5:02
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, we've been talking about these stories for
5:04
Speaker 1: over twenty years.
5:07
Speaker 2: And I look forward to talking about them twenty years
5:10
Speaker 2: from now. Look, I'm a big fan of routine. I'm
5:15
Speaker 2: a big fan of things not changing, and this is
5:19
Speaker 2: one of those stories that I can count on coming
5:22
Speaker 2: back every couple of years and it just kind of
5:24
Speaker 2: makes me feel good, kind of like a holiday.
5:26
Speaker 1: Well, and I always Brandy and I were talking about
5:31
Speaker 1: this the other day, I mean taking out curling the
5:40
Speaker 1: these athletes in the Winter Games, because especially I think
5:43
Speaker 1: for the United States, but anywhere where there's remotely warm climate,
5:49
Speaker 1: you sit there and wonder how does one get into
5:52
Speaker 1: the you know, long distance biathlon, shooting, you know, true
5:58
Speaker 1: sport or ski jumping.
6:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, because in the United States, we typically gravitate towards
6:06
Speaker 2: the sports that are provided within the community at a
6:09
Speaker 2: young age and dort in the school system, the United
6:14
Speaker 2: States isn't real big on supplying rifles to athletes, even
6:18
Speaker 2: in the spirit of competition.
6:22
Speaker 1: Well, especially for US in Texas. I mean I still
6:27
Speaker 1: marvel when I see when I'm watching a hockey game
6:30
Speaker 1: and I see, oh, from Plano, Texas, or you know
6:35
Speaker 1: this year in the Olympics, one of the top figure
6:37
Speaker 1: skaters Plano, Texas. Yeah, we had like two ice rinks
6:41
Speaker 1: around when we were growing up at the Galleria and
6:46
Speaker 1: used we want at the Plaza of the Americas. But
6:48
Speaker 1: we're we're not a cold weather but again we didn't.
6:51
Speaker 1: We got the Dallas Stars in ninety three. I think, yeah, uh,
6:56
Speaker 1: we're not a cold the cold weather sport client. So
7:00
Speaker 1: the fact that we have any people in these yeah,
7:03
Speaker 1: I still marvel at.
7:05
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I mean, that's why you're never surprised
7:07
Speaker 2: when you see US Olympic skiing champions from Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming,
7:14
Speaker 2: the places you would expect. Well, if one comes from
7:18
Speaker 2: you know, Fort Lauderdale, I'm going to be stunned.
7:20
Speaker 1: One of the most common things you see for the
7:22
Speaker 1: United States winter athletes, A lot of them, you'll see
7:25
Speaker 1: they're from Lake Placid. Why they still have the Olympic
7:28
Speaker 1: facilities from forty five years ago that they can train at.
7:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's a combination of things that will produce
7:40
Speaker 2: world class athletes, one of the first of them being money.
7:45
Speaker 2: If you invest in a certain community, especially towards a
7:50
Speaker 2: certain sport, then you're going to get some world class
7:54
Speaker 2: athletes out of it, just by sheer statistics, just sheer bodies. Right,
7:58
Speaker 2: that's what's happened, you know with us, you know, being
8:00
Speaker 2: you know, Dallas based. Like you said, when the Minnesota
8:04
Speaker 2: north Stars moved to Dallas, Texas barely knew I mean
8:09
Speaker 2: Texas knew what hockey was. It was basically football on
8:12
Speaker 2: ice to us, and we're like, we like it on grass.
8:13
Speaker 2: Were good, but they invested so much money in the community.
8:18
Speaker 2: Now you have legitimate hockey players that grew up with
8:21
Speaker 2: these Doctor Pepper Stars centers in their communities, and now
8:25
Speaker 2: you've got, you know, excellent hockey players out of the
8:28
Speaker 2: state of Texas, out of the DFW area. Same thing
8:31
Speaker 2: with Lake Placid, all these Winter Olympians coming out of
8:35
Speaker 2: Lake Placid, New York because they got the stuff there.
8:38
Speaker 2: Money was invested in it, and people grew into it
8:41
Speaker 2: and around it. It's like if you were to go
8:44
Speaker 2: in and heavily invest baseball into one particular community, you're
8:49
Speaker 2: gonna get some big time baseball players out of it.
8:52
Speaker 2: So it really it starts with money, and then you
8:55
Speaker 2: build up a little infrastructure for you know, the kids
8:57
Speaker 2: to do the sports and things, and then you're gonna
8:59
Speaker 2: get some. But yeah, it's very rare have the winter
9:04
Speaker 2: sport of any kind in Texas. And you're right, like,
9:09
Speaker 2: growing up, you had we had like two ice rinks
9:12
Speaker 2: and they're both inside of course, and you had the
9:15
Speaker 2: good one was at the Gallery of Dallas, and then
9:18
Speaker 2: wherever the other one was that was the one that
9:21
Speaker 2: was like the B team rink, that was where that's
9:25
Speaker 2: where you went if you couldn't really go to the
9:27
Speaker 2: Galleria because that rink is the one that had like
9:30
Speaker 2: the chips in it and stuff. Like the Zamboni was
9:32
Speaker 2: from the forties, being driven by a guy named Zamboni,
9:37
Speaker 2: and it didn't do anything other than just kind of
9:40
Speaker 2: put more chips in the ice. It was basically a
9:43
Speaker 2: minefield for physical trauma and bone breaks and scars well.
9:50
Speaker 1: And then, in true Texas form, we can't do anything
9:55
Speaker 1: half assed, so then they go the opposite direction. Then
9:57
Speaker 1: they are opening up Dallas Star Centers everywhere. They put
10:00
Speaker 1: one in Duncanville.
10:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, m m, I think it closed. Gee, I wonder why.
10:11
Speaker 1: I believe if memory search, that's where Mark Davis used
10:14
Speaker 1: to to do his curling.
10:19
Speaker 2: Look, you just got to be able to sometimes call
10:22
Speaker 2: things for what they are and be able to notice
10:24
Speaker 2: certain things as they are, Like, don't invest a bunch
10:29
Speaker 2: of money in an area that is not going to
10:33
Speaker 2: necessarily embrace that thing. Right. Winter sports in the African
10:40
Speaker 2: American community are not huge, but if you invest a
10:44
Speaker 2: bunch of money into it, you might get some. It
10:46
Speaker 2: didn't work for that Stars Center at Redbird, but they tried,
10:51
Speaker 2: you know. So I love that the athletes are having fun.
10:58
Speaker 2: I love that they're enjoying them. So the athletes I
11:01
Speaker 2: feel the most sorry for are the ones whose events
11:04
Speaker 2: don't happen till later in the Olympics. So I don't
11:07
Speaker 2: think they partake in the flings that the Olympics offers,
11:15
Speaker 2: because you're not supposed to do that before competition. Which,
11:19
Speaker 2: going back to what you said, Trey, I mean, most
11:21
Speaker 2: of these athletes are gen z and based on this
11:24
Speaker 2: study I just saw I think a good chunk of
11:27
Speaker 2: them aren't screwing anyway, because, according to a new study,
11:30
Speaker 2: gen Z is skipping sex to do this instead. Trey,
11:38
Speaker 2: as a fifty one year old man, what is something
11:42
Speaker 2: that might tempt you over sex?
11:51
Speaker 1: I'm fifty one though. That's not fair.
11:53
Speaker 2: No, it is fair. There's a reason I'm framing it
11:56
Speaker 2: this way. So answer the question honestly, as a fifty
11:58
Speaker 2: one year old man, is there something that you would
12:03
Speaker 2: rather do than sex? Something some sleep?
12:07
Speaker 1: Sleep would be.
12:13
Speaker 2: Do I have this thing? Nope, I don't hang on.
12:19
Speaker 1: Huh.
12:23
Speaker 2: Gen Z is choosing sleep over sex at a surprising rate. Yeah,
12:33
Speaker 2: so they're not drinking, they're not having sex either, So
12:38
Speaker 2: what is today's youth actually doing? According to a new
12:42
Speaker 2: survey of two thousand, sixty seven percent of gen zs
12:46
Speaker 2: would choose a good night's sleep over a romp in
12:50
Speaker 2: the sheets. That's why I asked you, Treys, a fifty
12:53
Speaker 2: one year old man, what's something that might tempt you
12:56
Speaker 2: over sex?
12:57
Speaker 1: Sleep? Is it?
12:58
Speaker 2: So it's very troubling that gen Z is acting like
13:01
Speaker 2: a bunch of fifty somethings when they're not even old
13:04
Speaker 2: enough to have been that tired yet.
13:08
Speaker 1: They're a strange bunch. They really really are. I mean,
13:13
Speaker 1: because let's see, older gen Z are thirty now from
13:20
Speaker 1: I mean.
13:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's ninety seven to twenty ten, I
13:25
Speaker 2: believe is the range for gen Z.
13:28
Speaker 1: So they're right in there in late twenties at this point,
13:31
Speaker 1: which I'm a bad example because I didn't know when
13:36
Speaker 1: to stop. But in your late twenties you should be
13:41
Speaker 1: just going balls out in every witch direction.
13:44
Speaker 2: Literally, yeah, because when we were in our twenties, that's
13:48
Speaker 2: when we absolutely chose sex over sleep. That's what you're
13:53
Speaker 2: supposed to do in your twenties, maybe into your thirties,
13:57
Speaker 2: depending on your issues maybe whatever. All I'm saying is
14:01
Speaker 2: you are supposed to biologically, just hormonally, you need to
14:07
Speaker 2: go through the phase of choosing things oversleep, like sex.
14:12
Speaker 2: So when you get to be older, you can appreciate
14:16
Speaker 2: the fact that, you know what, not tonight hunting, I'm
14:18
Speaker 2: actually pretty tired. I just want to go to sleep,
14:22
Speaker 2: And her response will be, oh, thank goodness, me too.
14:30
Speaker 2: It is very troubling to me to have a generation
14:32
Speaker 2: of twenty somethings that are acting like fifty somethings. What's
14:36
Speaker 2: wrong you haven't done enough to be this tired.
14:44
Speaker 1: Yeah. The only other answer I thought when you asked
14:47
Speaker 1: that question if for gen Z would be gaming.
14:51
Speaker 2: Yeah. Further shocking frisky generations before them, This survey also
14:56
Speaker 2: revealed sixty four percent of youngsters would rather prioritize keeping
15:00
Speaker 2: a stable job, fifty nine percent are focused on their
15:03
Speaker 2: personal success, half are shifting their attention to maintaining healthy friendships,
15:08
Speaker 2: and forty six percent prefer going to some solo time.
15:17
Speaker 2: That's just so freaking weird to me.
15:25
Speaker 1: I I got no answers for you on on the
15:28
Speaker 1: on that group there, they will befuddle me until the
15:32
Speaker 1: day I leave this.
15:33
Speaker 2: Earth, and then they'll skibbity on your grave. Uh. Now
15:41
Speaker 2: back to the article here, they say, before older folks
15:44
Speaker 2: judge this bacheful group, gen Z, it's important to consider
15:48
Speaker 2: that gen Z is the generation facing the conservative backlash
15:52
Speaker 2: after liberatory movements, the pill introduction, normalization of soft drugs,
15:58
Speaker 2: and the Summer of Love are a objectively too far
16:01
Speaker 2: away from their daily life. That's according to Julia Alexinko,
16:05
Speaker 2: popular culture and media analyst, they're nudge to spend their
16:10
Speaker 2: time on platforms and applications instead of physical places. As
16:14
Speaker 2: a result, gen Z focuses more on what's easily within reach,
16:19
Speaker 2: and that's Netflix and self care.
16:22
Speaker 1: That's it. I totally disagree with that because, especially for
16:28
Speaker 1: gen X, because as we were coming of age, we
16:33
Speaker 1: grew up in a time where literally we were taught
16:37
Speaker 1: sex could kill you because at that time, AIDS was
16:40
Speaker 1: brand new. HIV and AIDS were brand new, and there
16:43
Speaker 1: was no cure. It was fatal and that didn't stop us.
16:49
Speaker 2: Hell No. Gen X also known as the go get
17:01
Speaker 2: Them Generation.
17:06
Speaker 3: You're in the Treehouse, visit us online at Treehouse on
17:13
Speaker 3: air dot com.
17:16
Speaker 2: Let's get Daniel Cook from Cookdfwroofing and Restoration into the
17:19
Speaker 2: Treehouse eight three to three. Cook DFW is the phone
17:22
Speaker 2: number you will need to schedule your free roof inspection
17:25
Speaker 2: and property review. Daniel. I'm certain you've seen those inflatable barriers,
17:32
Speaker 2: the bubbles that people can activate to protect their vehicles
17:37
Speaker 2: during a hailstorm. Does that exist for a house yet.
17:43
Speaker 4: It's been talked about trying to see how they can
17:45
Speaker 4: make those, but I don't know if anything's ever going
17:48
Speaker 4: to be made like that.
17:49
Speaker 1: It would, but you know, even those.
17:53
Speaker 4: Ones for the cars, if the hill is large enough
17:56
Speaker 4: it can damage the car still. Actor those are great
17:58
Speaker 4: for the smaller hell of events that you just don't
18:01
Speaker 4: want those nuisance beings on your car, the pocket chains events,
18:06
Speaker 4: the large p size hell you know, because it can
18:09
Speaker 4: still dent your car. You know, small hills still damaging.
18:12
Speaker 4: I know there's a misconception out of there. We just
18:14
Speaker 4: had some small hell. We didn't get any damage. You
18:16
Speaker 4: probably did, you know, it just wasn't like things that
18:20
Speaker 4: you noticeablely can see after a large hell event like
18:23
Speaker 4: the one that just went through here in Collin County,
18:24
Speaker 4: North Colin last September. Well, they knew they had damage
18:28
Speaker 4: because they had windows blown out, garage doors had hits
18:30
Speaker 4: on them, looked like someone had shot them. You know,
18:33
Speaker 4: everybody's windows are broken out in their cars, so then
18:37
Speaker 4: they know they had a large enough event. But as
18:40
Speaker 4: far as your total home protection, there's not going to
18:43
Speaker 4: be any kind of force filled or large balloon that
18:46
Speaker 4: you probably are going to be able to put around
18:47
Speaker 4: your home. So you just need to make sure that
18:50
Speaker 4: you hunker down and you get that checked out as
18:53
Speaker 4: soon as possible to make sure you don't have substantial
18:55
Speaker 4: leaks that are going to be forming really soon after
18:57
Speaker 4: that storm.
18:58
Speaker 2: And he brings up a great point, and that is
19:01
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter the size of the hail that falls
19:04
Speaker 2: during the storm, because after the fact, you need to
19:07
Speaker 2: have that roof inspected to see to make sure that
19:10
Speaker 2: there isn't any damage, because even if it's a small
19:13
Speaker 2: piece of damage, that can grow over time and turn
19:16
Speaker 2: into a massive problem even from a small hail event.
19:20

20:00
Speaker 2: Back inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan, he's Trey. We were
20:04
Speaker 2: just discussing the Olympic ffest at such a rate that
20:09
Speaker 2: the ten thousand free condoms that were doled out at
20:12
Speaker 2: the beginning of the Olympics in the Olympic village have
20:15
Speaker 2: already run out. I have a solution, okay, and this
20:22
Speaker 2: is more of an opportunity. What you need here is
20:26
Speaker 2: a company like say Trojan to come in pardon the punt,
20:32
Speaker 2: an air drop just thousands of condoms directly over the
20:39
Speaker 2: Olympic village. One, it will solve the problem of a
20:44
Speaker 2: lack of free prophylactics in the Olympic village. And two
20:49
Speaker 2: you get some really awesome free pr and marketing Trojan
20:53
Speaker 2: to save the day at the Olympic village raining rubbers.
21:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's you're not wrong.
21:04
Speaker 2: I mean.
21:04
Speaker 1: Or just build a big Trojan horse and just split
21:08
Speaker 1: it open and just have condoms just spill out.
21:11
Speaker 2: You know what, that's actually better. There's two ways to
21:14
Speaker 2: do this. You take an actual Trojan horse and you
21:17
Speaker 2: just shove it right into the middle of the Olympic
21:20
Speaker 2: Village and you let them come up and just and
21:22
Speaker 2: then they just flow out of it like a big
21:24
Speaker 2: sexy pinata. Or you combine that with my flyover idea
21:30
Speaker 2: and you have the Trojan horse being flown over and
21:34
Speaker 2: then the Trojan horse releases the condoms below. Call us
21:42
Speaker 2: Trojan we have ideas. Or if maximum effort. You know,
21:48
Speaker 2: once a pair of stupid idea makers somewhere in a corner,
21:56
Speaker 2: we got you.
21:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, big opportunity. Yeah, I don't know
22:03
Speaker 1: how they thought. Uh, ten thousand condoms. I mean that's
22:08
Speaker 1: that's like three apiece. Like, yeah, you know they're going
22:11
Speaker 1: to do more than that. I know.
22:12
Speaker 2: And when I've seen this story in a couple of places,
22:15
Speaker 2: and people in the comments are saying they're not actually
22:17
Speaker 2: having that much sex. Some of them aren't even having
22:20
Speaker 2: sex yet because their event hasn't happened. They're just stashing
22:23
Speaker 2: them for later. Some people are some of the athletes
22:26
Speaker 2: are just keeping them as keepsakes. It's like, okay, no,
22:30
Speaker 2: they aren't medals. I mean I don't. I don't think
22:34
Speaker 2: you would necessarily, as an Olympic athlete go back home
22:37
Speaker 2: and show everyone the condom that you didn't use at
22:41
Speaker 2: the Olympics. I think that's weird to me as a
22:44
Speaker 2: trinket to take home.
22:46
Speaker 1: Unless they're wrapped in some like special commemorative Olympic you know,
22:52
Speaker 1: five cockrings.
22:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, unless here's what you do. If you want to
22:59
Speaker 2: take those home, make sure they're the open ones, and
23:02
Speaker 2: then that way you can make a necklace out of him,
23:04
Speaker 2: kind of like Michael Phelps did with all of his
23:06
Speaker 2: actual medals. You can go around back home and say, well,
23:09
Speaker 2: I didn't meddle in any you know, competitions, but I
23:14
Speaker 2: I meddled in the Olympic village. And you have all
23:16
Speaker 2: your used wrappers open. Then I could see that being
23:19
Speaker 2: some sort of a keepsake.
23:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure all of that is true. I'm
23:26
Speaker 1: sure they do some stuff them in their pockets and
23:30
Speaker 1: some do whatever. But still we've known for years there's
23:36
Speaker 1: a lot of effing going on. You needed more than that.
23:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, My favorite was a couple of years ago. See
23:46
Speaker 2: it wasn't the Paris Games. I feel like it was
23:48
Speaker 2: one before that where they had the beds that were
23:53
Speaker 2: so shoddy they hoped it would discourage rampant sex in
23:59
Speaker 2: the Olympic village. It was like cardboard style twin size
24:04
Speaker 2: mattresses in the Olympic village.
24:07
Speaker 1: What of the times the London Games was it? Maybe?
24:11
Speaker 2: Whatever the case is, I just thought that that was
24:13
Speaker 2: hysterical them thinking that a cardboard twin mattress was somehow
24:17
Speaker 2: going to discourage twenty something hot sexy athletes from getting
24:22
Speaker 2: it on.
24:23
Speaker 1: Hot flexible athlete.
24:26
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the flexibility. They don't need that bed, bitch, please,
24:30
Speaker 2: that's what the balcony is for. The balcony, the elevator,
24:33
Speaker 2: the stairwell, the sloops.
24:36
Speaker 1: They just need a monkey bar.
24:41
Speaker 2: You want to see something interesting, you go to the
24:43
Speaker 2: gymnastics place after hours. Yeah, I would love to see
24:49
Speaker 2: I would love to see the security cameras around twelve
24:52
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning where they do the gymnastics events.
24:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, just put a playyard in the middle of the
25:00
Speaker 1: Olympic village and just see see what they can do
25:03
Speaker 1: with a swing set.
25:05
Speaker 2: And I want you to think about that the next
25:07
Speaker 2: time you're watching some of these events on TV, because
25:09
Speaker 2: this is what you're seeing during daylight. Imagine what that's
25:12
Speaker 2: going to look like in twelve hours when the cameras
25:14
Speaker 2: and the people aren't there, but the athletes are, and
25:17
Speaker 2: that becomes a sexual playground.
25:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll put on a show. I mean, brawsers.
25:29
Speaker 2: Here's an idea, Olympics after dark.
25:34
Speaker 1: Wow bang games.
25:40
Speaker 2: Six WHOA. President Trump on Thursday pardoned five former professional
25:55
Speaker 2: football players, one posthumously or various crimes ranging from to
26:00
Speaker 2: drug trafficking, including our very own former Dallas Cowboys great
26:07
Speaker 2: Nate Newton. I don't know how I missed this over
26:11
Speaker 2: the last couple of days, but I just saw this
26:13
Speaker 2: story this morning. The pardons were announced by White House.
26:17
Speaker 2: Pardons are Alice Marie Smith. Johnson also on other news
26:21
Speaker 2: there's a White House pardons are. Imagine that on your
26:27
Speaker 2: business card and then eventually on your resume and your
26:30
Speaker 2: CV on Linkedins. Well, I was a pardonsar anyway. Four
26:35
Speaker 2: other ex NFL players were granted clemency along with Nate Newton,
26:39
Speaker 2: including Joe Cleco, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, and the late
26:45
Speaker 2: Billy Cannon. Johnson. The pardons are said, as football reminds us,
26:51
Speaker 2: excellence is built on grit, grace, and the courage to
26:55
Speaker 2: rise again. So is our nation. That's what she wrote
26:58
Speaker 2: on social media site as she thinked President Trump for
27:01
Speaker 2: his continued commitment to second chances. The White House did
27:05
Speaker 2: not return her request for comment on why Trump and
27:08
Speaker 2: Avid sports fan pardoned the players, Johnson said. Dallas Cowboys
27:12
Speaker 2: owner Jerry Jones personally shared the news with Nate Newton,
27:15
Speaker 2: who won three Super Bowls with the team. Do you
27:19
Speaker 2: remember the crimes? Nate Newton committed that. He was then
27:23
Speaker 2: pardoned for just a couple of days ago.
27:27
Speaker 1: I remember he was caught transporting large amounts of weed.
27:34
Speaker 1: I believe he was caught in Louisiana.
27:37
Speaker 2: Across state lines. Huh Nate Newton pleaded guilty and was
27:42
Speaker 2: sentenced to thirty months on a federal drug trafficking charge
27:45
Speaker 2: after authorities discovered in two thousand and one he had
27:49
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars in his pickup, as well as one
27:51
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five pounds of marijuana in an accompanying
27:55
Speaker 2: car driven by another man. Newton was a two time
27:58
Speaker 2: All Pro player and six time Pro bowllet. I feel
28:02
Speaker 2: like there was a second arrest. I can't remember if
28:07
Speaker 2: that's right or not. Does that seem familiar to you,
28:09
Speaker 2: tre or was it just the one?
28:12
Speaker 1: I actually want to say that was the second arrest.
28:16
Speaker 1: I do feel like you're correct. There was another arrest,
28:19
Speaker 1: but it was for a much smaller amount.
28:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I guess he had kind of skated on
28:24
Speaker 2: it a little bit, so that I guess gave him
28:27
Speaker 2: the confidence to go bigger, and when he went bigger,
28:31
Speaker 2: they sent him packing.
28:33
Speaker 1: I will never forget shaking that man's hands because I
28:41
Speaker 1: do not have small hands, and I have never shook
28:47
Speaker 1: hands with somebody that just made me feel like I
28:51
Speaker 1: had many hands. I mean it was.
28:54
Speaker 5: Yeah.
28:54
Speaker 1: They always talk about football players have like they really
28:57
Speaker 1: good ones. Hand size as a thing in the combine
29:01
Speaker 1: everything else, Jesus, I mean it just it his hand
29:07
Speaker 1: swallowed mine.
29:09
Speaker 2: Did it make you feel like a pretty, pretty little girl?
29:16
Speaker 2: Like you'll never feel more dainty in your life than
29:18
Speaker 2: when you shake an honest to god huge professional football
29:23
Speaker 2: or basketball player's hands. And maybe with the exception of
29:29
Speaker 2: like a Spudweb or a Muggsy Bogues.
29:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eigman had huge hands like other people have met.
29:35
Speaker 1: But his just shocking m.
29:40
Speaker 2: Pause, just big, mighty pause.
29:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
29:46
Speaker 2: The other the other NFL players former NFL players that
29:49
Speaker 2: were pardoned at the end of last week. Joe Cleco,
29:52
Speaker 2: former star for the New York Jets. He pleaded guilty
29:54
Speaker 2: to perjury after lying to a federal grand jury that
29:57
Speaker 2: was investigating insurance fraud. He was inducted in the Pro
30:02
Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame in twenty three. Then there's Jamal Lewis,
30:06
Speaker 2: formerly of the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns. He
30:09
Speaker 2: had pleaded guilty in a drug case in which he
30:11
Speaker 2: used his cell phone to try to set up a
30:12
Speaker 2: drug deal not long after he was the top pick
30:15
Speaker 2: in the two thousand NFL draft. And then Travis Henry,
30:19
Speaker 2: who played for the Denver Broncos, pleaded guilty along with
30:22
Speaker 2: other teams, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic cocaine for
30:26
Speaker 2: financing a drug ring that moved the drug between Colorado
30:29
Speaker 2: and Montana, running back for three teams and a one
30:33
Speaker 2: time pro bowler. And then Cannon, who played with the Oilers,
30:37
Speaker 2: Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs, admitted to counterfeiting in
30:40
Speaker 2: the mid eighties after a series of bad investments and
30:42
Speaker 2: debts left him broke. It's a pretty good range of
30:47
Speaker 2: crimes there that they all get to go. All right,
30:49
Speaker 2: we're all pardon now. Although for the one guy was
30:51
Speaker 2: after he died, so that sucks for him.
30:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if he played for the Oilers, he's
30:58
Speaker 1: good chance he's dead.
31:02
Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't help but notice though, a little bit
31:07
Speaker 2: of the just a little bit, just a little bit
31:10
Speaker 2: of the double standard here, because if you're a if
31:16
Speaker 2: you are a professional athlete in the United States and
31:19
Speaker 2: you get caught smuggling one hundred and seventy five pounds
31:21
Speaker 2: of marijuana across state lines, you might get pardoned by
31:25
Speaker 2: the president. However, if you are a fisherman in Venezuela
31:31
Speaker 2: on a boat that might be carrying a couple million
31:34
Speaker 2: dollars worth of cocaine, you might end up with a
31:37
Speaker 2: missile in your pants.
31:42
Speaker 1: That is the fork in the road.
31:48
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just Nate Newton should just be really
31:54
Speaker 2: happy that when he was transporting drugs across state lines
31:57
Speaker 2: if there wasn't the drone technology that we have today,
32:00
Speaker 2: otherwise you might have caught a hell fire somewhere near Rustin.
32:04
Speaker 1: But yeah, the other on the flip side of that
32:06
Speaker 1: is there are probably ten thousand people incarcerated for lesser
32:11
Speaker 1: crimes than carrying one hundred and seventy five pounds of
32:14
Speaker 1: weed that are still in prison, and just because they
32:18
Speaker 1: did not play professional football, you know, and that's a
32:23
Speaker 1: far more serious time. But you know, the failure of
32:25
Speaker 1: the war on drugs over time, and you know, I
32:30
Speaker 1: understand if you were and a lot of it goes
32:33
Speaker 1: to i mean, even twenty five years ago, how we
32:37
Speaker 1: especially how we look at weed now versus twenty five
32:40
Speaker 1: years ago is so drastically different. Yeah, you know, coke
32:45
Speaker 1: meth A lot of things I understand the more are
32:49
Speaker 1: far more grievous that weed.
32:53
Speaker 2: I also think you had mentioned hand size right. Maybe
32:57
Speaker 2: hand size is playing a factor here a little bit,
33:02
Speaker 2: because I mean, like you said, Nate Newton's hands are massive,
33:06
Speaker 2: So him carrying in one hundred and seventy five pounds
33:08
Speaker 2: a weed across state lines isn't maybe as big of
33:13
Speaker 2: a deal as it would be to me because maybe
33:17
Speaker 2: he's looking at it as well. I'm just taking all
33:19
Speaker 2: that could fit in my hand.
33:23
Speaker 1: It's just taking all he could smoke.
33:26

34:27
Speaker 2: walk back some comments that he made during a recent podcast.
34:37
Speaker 2: Come on, Oh you stupid? I hate I hate the
34:41
Speaker 2: auto mute. Can I just point that out? I hate
34:44
Speaker 2: auto mute, and if I want to listen to it,
34:45
Speaker 2: don't auto mut it. You got damn phone.
34:49
Speaker 1: Are aliens real?
34:51
Speaker 5: Uh? They're real, but I haven't seen them, and and
34:54
Speaker 5: they're not being kept in uh fifty one. Uh, there's
34:59
Speaker 5: no one to ground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy
35:06
Speaker 5: and they hit it from the President of the United.
35:08
Speaker 1: States, What was the first question you wanted answered when
35:12
Speaker 1: you became president?
35:14
Speaker 5: Where are the aliens?
35:16
Speaker 1: Are aliens real?
35:19
Speaker 2: So this is the part that he's having to walk back.
35:21
Speaker 5: Now, they're real, but I haven't seen.
35:27
Speaker 2: So everyone focused on the fact that he said they're real,
35:30
Speaker 2: and now because of that he's having to walk it back.
35:33
Speaker 2: I saw this just a short while ago. Former President
35:37
Speaker 2: Barack Obama said he did not see evidence that aliens
35:40
Speaker 2: have made contact with us, after sending social media a
35:44
Speaker 2: buzz by saying aliens were real on a podcast over
35:47
Speaker 2: the weekend, during a lightning round of questions with podcast
35:51
Speaker 2: hosts Brian Tyler Cohen. Obama was asked are aliens real?
35:55
Speaker 2: He says, they're realized. I just played for you here.
35:59
Speaker 2: On Sunday, the former president released a statement on Instagram
36:02
Speaker 2: clarifying what he meant. I was trying to stick with
36:05
Speaker 2: the spirit of the speed round, but since it's gotten attention,
36:08
Speaker 2: let me clarify. Statistically, the universe is so vast that
36:12
Speaker 2: the odds are good there's life out there, but the
36:14
Speaker 2: distances between solar systems are so great that the chances
36:17
Speaker 2: we've been visited by aliens is low. And I saw
36:20
Speaker 2: no evidence during my presidency that extra terrestrials have made
36:24
Speaker 2: contact with us. Really, with an exclamation point, I don't
36:31
Speaker 2: buy it.
36:38
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll go on the assumption. I mean I
36:46
Speaker 1: I don't think we're the only people in the universe,
36:51
Speaker 1: I mean the whole I think it's called the Fermi
36:54
Speaker 1: paradox of you know what, if we're the only planet
36:58
Speaker 1: that has intelligent, just life. I don't think it's possible.
37:03
Speaker 1: If you considered just the the infinite nature of the universe,
37:08
Speaker 1: why would we be the only people or you know,
37:10
Speaker 1: only intelligent life? And I think you know, especially the
37:14
Speaker 1: President of the United States knows if he were to say, oh, yeah,
37:17
Speaker 1: they're real, you're one of the biggest things is is
37:20
Speaker 1: it would cause mass pandemonium. Uh, And so I I
37:30
Speaker 1: he's damned if you do. Damned if you do, damned
37:33
Speaker 1: if you don't.
37:33
Speaker 2: On that question, that is very true. And I am
37:37
Speaker 2: not a conspiracy theorist typically, However, when it comes to aliens,
37:45
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I believe there is a conspiracy about
37:49
Speaker 2: alien cover up, but it wouldn't surprise me if one
37:53
Speaker 2: was to come about, Like if we all of a
37:56
Speaker 2: sudden discovered one day that there's been this decades long
37:59
Speaker 2: conspiracy about hiding the existence of aliens from the general
38:03
Speaker 2: masses of people, that would not surprise me in the least.
38:06
Speaker 2: And it certainly wouldn't surprise me if not only it existed,
38:11
Speaker 2: but it did in fact hide it from heads of state,
38:15
Speaker 2: Like it would basically just be a top secret military thing,
38:18
Speaker 2: and only certain people that hit a certain rank or
38:22
Speaker 2: a certain rank, or a certain classification or classified status
38:27
Speaker 2: will ever know about it, because you cannot trust who
38:32
Speaker 2: gets voted in to keep their mouth shut. It's not
38:35
Speaker 2: like as soon as you take office you get to
38:37
Speaker 2: find out all these cool secrets. I think something of
38:41
Speaker 2: that scale. It would make sense to me that they
38:44
Speaker 2: would not tell an elected official, even if it's the
38:47
Speaker 2: top one, the truth about it, because you don't know
38:50
Speaker 2: who you're gonna get. You might get a loose cannon
38:52
Speaker 2: in there. That's like I'm going to kill everybody and
38:55
Speaker 2: then I got their receipts.
38:57
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think there are some conspiracy theories. Yeah,
39:04
Speaker 1: I think JFK is probably for me, the one the
39:06
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. I'll go, Yeah, there very well could have
39:09
Speaker 1: been foul play involved, but that was a different time.
39:16
Speaker 1: I don't believe in anyone's ability to keep a secret anymore.
39:20
Speaker 1: Like when you talk about conspiracy theories in this day
39:22
Speaker 1: and age, My my number one thing is no one
39:25
Speaker 1: can keep a secret. Yeah, there's gonna be someone's gonna,
39:28
Speaker 1: you know, a weak link that's gonna go running to
39:30
Speaker 1: TMZ or whoever.
39:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone in search of their fifteen minutes of fame
39:35
Speaker 2: for being the whistle blower on the JFK assassination, or
39:39
Speaker 2: the whistleblower on the existence of aliens or something along
39:42
Speaker 2: those lines.
39:43
Speaker 1: Like I and I do I have begun to believe that.
39:50
Speaker 1: I don't think we're the first human civilization on Earth.
39:54
Speaker 1: I think there have been there's a civilization before us.
39:57
Speaker 1: I think that's how the Optians learn how to do
40:00
Speaker 1: the pyramids. I think there was a knowledge that was
40:04
Speaker 1: passed on because especially the pyramids make no sense on
40:10
Speaker 1: how if you say they built something like that or
40:13
Speaker 1: they bagically with no power source?
40:15
Speaker 2: Uh?
40:17
Speaker 1: And if they were to announce tomorrow there was a secret,
40:21
Speaker 1: you know, secret some kind of structures beneath Antarctica or whatever,
40:28
Speaker 1: and you know, beneath the pyramids, not going to surprise
40:30
Speaker 1: me one bit. But again, you are going to have
40:34
Speaker 1: chaos if you ever acknowledged that, because you are going
40:38
Speaker 1: to question people's belief in God and the very nature
40:41
Speaker 1: of you know, they say, everything with humans is comes
40:45
Speaker 1: down to where do where do we come from? Why
40:47
Speaker 1: are we here?
40:48
Speaker 2: Yeah? On the flip side, I do think that if
40:53
Speaker 2: there is an alien conspiracy and there was a whistleblower
40:57
Speaker 2: and someone came forward with irrefutable evidence it, I think
41:02
Speaker 2: we'd all be so stuck in our phones and our
41:06
Speaker 2: own self absorption that yeah, it would make the news,
41:11
Speaker 2: But I don't know if it would necessarily lead to
41:13
Speaker 2: an existential crisis among everyone on the planet. It would
41:17
Speaker 2: for some of us, but for others, they're still gonna
41:20
Speaker 2: be looking at you know, I still got these athletic
41:23
Speaker 2: greens I gotta sell. I still have this thing I
41:26
Speaker 2: gotta do at work or I lose my job. I
41:29
Speaker 2: kind of think that you could come out with it
41:31
Speaker 2: now and enough of the planet would just be like,
41:33
Speaker 2: all right, whatever, I.
41:35
Speaker 1: Mean, until until the saucers are over the cities getting
41:38
Speaker 1: ready to blast them with some kind of death ray.
41:41
Speaker 1: You're probably right, that's not people are gonna go. It's
41:44
Speaker 1: Ai exactly.
41:49
Speaker 2: There's always gonna be that first person in line in
41:51
Speaker 2: the comment section. That's Ai. Yeah, and that'll be the
41:56
