  Speaker 1: Welcome inside the Treehouse after a long, long hiatus.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Good to see you guys, Thanks for having me so uh.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: You're joining us from the great city that some would
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: put in air quotes of Los Angeles.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: West Hollywood to woo.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The old wee hoo.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right, I'm gonna ask around the country.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask a really, really, really dumb question,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and we don't need to belabor it. I know I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: could have asked Roj this numerous times, but I didn't
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: think of it until you said West Hollywood is the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Pink Pony Club?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Real?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Or is that just in the song.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the Pink Pony Club is the abbey.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: M okay, so it's just is that hurt is that
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: chapel Rohne's name for it or is that like a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: common name for it or is it just her name
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for it in the song? So they don't have to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: pay any money to the actual club.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question. I think I'm the wrong
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: person ask but it is interesting that the abbey is
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they have the chapel, the sub it's like the second
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: part of the abbey. So I don't know if there's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a connection there. I'm a big fan and at hers
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: by the way, and my sister in law was in
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: town and I took her by the abbey and I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: was like, there's a peak punk cup because there's the giant,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you know all that, but it's not peink. It's white anyways.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if it's I don't know if
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: we'd have to look at it because I am interested
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to find out the connection. But it is the abbey.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, gotcha. I mentioned this and it really has been.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It has been way too long. We go way back.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The three of us do radio and comedy days, back
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: back in Dallas and radio stuff back at the old
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: rip station Live one five three, along with many people
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: now not just the station, who have passed on. Things
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: have gone pretty well for everybody, all things considered. You're
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in La now. There was It was such an interesting
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: time how the Dallas comedy scene had a group of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: guys that all basically migrated west to take the big
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: chance in LA. And some are still there, some have
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: moved back, some of you know, still kind of touring around.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: How's it's good? I love it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. Roger's like, the is it Shirpa?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Raj went out first and like you know, surveyed the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: land for us, and then we kind of followed him out.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But you know, it's so funny. It took me a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: really long time to really like settle in here and
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: like I like it. And it's like been the last
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: like two years where I like love it and I've
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: only been I've been out for thirteen If that's so.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It only took eleven years to actually enjoy.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Where you lived, and now I love it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So what changed?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I think me? I think me mostly. I don't think
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the city. The city has certainly changed at all. I
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: think just living and acceptance. I was sort of living
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: in two different places. You know, my family and my
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: friends and everything was in Texas, and I was stuck
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: between two worlds. And I kind of finally accepted, like, oh,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I live here now and I got my own place
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and I've lived I'm living alone for the first time
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: since I was in my twenties. Wow, So it's yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like a grown up.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: No, I get that. It's a big step. I mean
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I moved a couple of years ago, and you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I mean I lived in you know, DFW area from
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the age of nine until what forty two forty three.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I mean that's a long time in one space. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: so I completely relate to what you're saying. It's like
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you moved somewhere and then you're you're not fully there yet.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt like I was on vacation, honestly, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I tell people this honestly, until about like two years ago,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I never really felt like because I was going home
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: every couple of or home. See I still do it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I was going back to Dallas every couple of months,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and I was just like sometimes I wouldn't even tell people.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I would just fly in and just spend a week
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: or two with the family, you know, And so yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: it just really feels like I was on vacation here,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: just sort of visiting. I mean, I mean I lived
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: in DFW for thirty three years and I still had
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: stuff in storage there and up until like five years ago.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: I'll be back.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I still keep a small storage thing in Dallas. It's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: mainly for treehouse stuff. When when when when I when
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I go to Dallas to do and we'll do like
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a live show somewhere in North Texas. That's mostly where
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that stuff is kept. But yeah, I mean, other than that,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I still got that little thing there. But after a while,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you finally do sort of maybe some people don't ever,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: but you eventually accept, Okay, this where I am now
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: is actually home.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I think it had a lot to do with like
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: living with roommates and like sleeping on people's couches, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: then like I think now like having this place that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I love. It's a quiet, peaceful and there's a park across.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It's just like there's a park here, and there's a
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: park there, and my gym's there, and I when the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: grocery store, and I just walk everywhere I'm like, Okay,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I just had to find the neighborhood.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very difficult to do in North Texas can
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: usually it's drive everywhere.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you get a sense.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: I mean, you feel more grounded once you have like
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: your in space and your.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Own routine that you're going to do, you know, day
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: in and day out.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, which is an amazing thing to say that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you feel grounded when you're a stand up comedian for.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: For a living.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I know. I think that I do so
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: much to be able to navigate that lifestyle to be
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: grounded that the comedy parts so easy, because I mean,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: like my morning routine isn't sane like you guys would
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: think I'm a crazy person, but I do so much
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in the morning to be able to not lose my mind.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Are you one of those ice bath plungers first thing
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in the morning.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I do workout, I do ice plunge. I don't talk
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: for the first two hours. I meditate for you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: almost an hour. My journal incense like the whole you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the whole thing. One of those guys, and it just
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and it sets everything.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: There was a guy that went viral for that a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago, for he posted his morning routines this
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: is what I do every morning, millions of views and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it started like three something in the morning, and he's
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: taken like a twenty thirty minute ice plunge.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Oh that's crazy.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he does like it with his face and then
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: his body. Then he journals, then he goes to work.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I mean a meditation, all this stuff goes to work out,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and then I see people make fun of it, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: rightfully so, because all these gurus are out there saying,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: here's what your ideal morning should consist of. Well, by
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the time you're done doing all that, it's time to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: eat dinner. Yeah, you haven't even had time to go
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to work.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a little much. I think the non negotiables
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: for me is like meditating. I like to meditate for
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: like an hour and then at journal, which is also
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: turns into comedy joke writing, so which is that's for
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: my career also, Yeah, and that just kind of and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: then you know, not not talking for the first hour
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: or two.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So I enjoy part of that. I like waking up
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and kind of doing my own thing for the first
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: little bit and not having to have a discussion or
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: whatever the case is. It's very simple. I wake up,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I chug a bunch of water, I take the dog outs,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: make a cup of coffee, and and then I yell
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: at my watch for telling me to be mindful today
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and take some breaths. I'm like, I just woke up, Siri,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: leave me alone.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is funny when I tell people,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, so I like to like throughout
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the day. I like to do three minute or three
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: thirty minute meditations. I like to go to the gym.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I like to do like a cold plunge. I like
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to uh, you know, journal make a gratitude list. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: listened and they're like, oh, wow.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: You're so.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I like I need all of that
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: or all like I'm a crazy person and I need
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: all of that to be okay. I'm not better than you.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I'm a lunatic.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: This is what I do every morning just to reach
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: everyone else's baseline.

  Speaker 1: out of la joining us remotely. Today is Thursday May first,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Yes, we are now all of the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: age where we all look around and go wow, it's
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: years really justly and by, and that's where we all

  Speaker 1: are in life now. But it's true. The older we get,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the faster time goes, and the faster we get to death.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Not to be moros, but it's kind of true. Maybe

• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the weather I'm feeling like, kind of dark and gloomy.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I'll shake it off though, don't worry. Like I said,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: today is Thursday May first, twoenty twenty five. Oh man,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: did everyone notice that this Easter Easter Sunday fell on
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: four to twenty this year and one East Texas drug
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: dealer took full advantage because instead of doing an Easter
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: egg hunt, he orchestrated an Easter drug hunt. His name
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is Avante Nicholson, beautiful name. He's facing charges after police
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: say he filled at least five plastic Easter eggs with
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: weed all around Lufkin, Texas and hid them for customers
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to find His drug customers. Please found out about it
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: because he posted photos of the eggs on Facebook as
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a social media promotion. So drug dealers are now doing promotions.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Just keep that in mind. He told people that whoever
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: shopped with him that day would get hints revealing where
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the eggs were hidden. Police found four of them. The
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: fifth egg was found in a park by a man
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and his granddaughter the day after Easter. Most of them
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the eggs were hidden in parks, but police also found
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: at least one egg behind a Motel six Classy. Altogether,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the eggs had just over a quarter ounce of weed
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: in them, and last we heard, police are conducting their
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: own scavenger hunt because Avante is still on the run,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: kind of like the Easter bunny. So is this Easter
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: drug hunt brilliant or stoopid?
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Trey?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Let's start with you. First of all, is Daisy okay.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: She's not doing very well.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry Okay, well, let's focus on an Easter drug hunt.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Easter drug hunt in East Texas. Brilliant or stupid?
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It's East Texas.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of there as well.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I say both. It's brilliant to do what you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: an easter promotion as a drug dealer. I mean, it's
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: brilliant business.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: I mean but if you've ever spent any time the
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: one that find it all, if you've.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Ever spent a lot of time in East Texas, Yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: that's a very thin line.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So why not between brilliant and stupid? Yes, the thin
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: dumb line. H RAJ. Brilliant or stupid?
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: I don't I don't know why drug dealers think they
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: have to advertise. It's a it's kind of you. You
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: kind of have a captive audience. They're gonna come to
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: you regardless.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: But I do like you got to stand out.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: I like the entrepreneurial aspect of it, where he's like,
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: you know what, I'm gonna take this little mainstream and
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: we're gonna do like a like a discount code. I'm
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: gonna drop hints and you can find free weed.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I like this guy. I'm a fan.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Justin brilliant, inner stupid.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's great. I'm so like it's such as
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: like such a Texas thing. When the cops were like
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: scrambling trying to find him and everyone's like trying to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: find the eggs. I'm in La. You would find that
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: egg and people be like, ugh, it's not sativa.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: This is the Mexican dirt weed. I'm not I'm not
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: keeping this. I'd rather go to the store and buy
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: something worthwhile more weed.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Cool, this isn't a vape? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: anything harder.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: That's a that's for different parts of Texas, or maybe
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: maybe that's a maybe that's a different promotion altogether from
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a different guy. But I do love the idea. I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: love the plan of you know, like you said, Raj,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's like, you shouldn't have to advertise
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: because you're a drug dealer, people will come to you.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: But what if you're a startup You got to get
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: your name out there. Maybe and uh, maybe this was
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: his strategy to do so. On one hand, the drug
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: dealing strategy for a social media promotion makes sense. The
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: downside is obviously the police see it and then they
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: go find four of your five eggs, but I give
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: them credit because they still haven't found this guy.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Right wow. And it's also like, in this economy, that's
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the cheapest eggs you're gonna find right now.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: That's true, I mean, right at point now with the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: economic hardship, that weed costs less than eggs.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: And I like the idea that you're going to try
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: to motivate potheads to get up and get out of
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: the house to go find eggs.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: That's how that's why the cops found four first.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. They're all like, man, that's.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Too much stress. We'll go later.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, potheads don't have steps goals.

  Speaker 1: with Trey Trenholm. Welcome in Trey and Raj Sharma and
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: today's special guest, comedian and fellow podcaster Justin Foster. Yes,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: real quick, I'm not sure, mainly because my memory is really,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: really terrible. Uh, Trey, Justin, Justin Trey. I think you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: guys may have met back in the Live one O
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: five three days. But if not, Justin Trey, Trey, Justin.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Good to see those days are pretty hazy.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Or hazy for all of us. Hazy for many reasons,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: but one of the main ones is alcohol. Raj and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I are still on the booze train. Trey Justin. You
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: guys are living the sober lifestyle now, to which I
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: offer you a thumbs up each. Good on you. I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: tried it for the month of January, and I'm very
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: proud of myself for having done that. And I'm not
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: ready to go full straight edge just yet, but again.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I know I'm here.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Don't do it.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: You are.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: You are the worst sober guy I have ever heard.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Usually like you need to stop drinking, and those guys
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: are all over You're.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Just like I tell everybody, if you can, please.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Do I'm actually not drinking right now. So it's been like, collectively,
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: it's been about if I do all of so I
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: did most of December.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: There's no drink, you're either pregnant or you're not.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I see, I don't. I don't believe that theory.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: That's what it is. That's what that is.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: But it's been Yeah, so it's it's been on and
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: off three months. Like I'll have something here and there,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: but nothing like excessive, Like I'll do like if I'm
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: watching like the Stars game, like I have a couple
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: of beer. I'm not a beer guy. Yeah, so I'll
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: do that on purpose to where I just have like
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: one or two and then that's that's my wrap for
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: the death.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: If it works for you. Like I was telling my
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: like my buddy called me the day He's like, I
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: got a friend he's getting divorced and he's drinking all
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the time. I'm like, yeah, don't take away his medicine.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah that makes sense.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I'd be worried if he wasn't drinking.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Does he have a problem, but he's drinking a lot?
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: The problem is it's like when you're drinking for all occasions,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Like if you're drinking just when you're sad, which is
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: on occasion, okay, not ideal, but it may not be
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: your problem. But if you're also drinking to celebrate something.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: If you're drinking to uh commemorate something. If you're drinking
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: because you're sad angry, if you're if you're having a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: shot because you went T T H in the bathroom
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: instead of your bed, you might have a problem, right,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and you want to talk to somebody.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: If you're drinking and it's not causing problems in your life,
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: you're okay.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think on the same page with that. It's like,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: unless you unless you have problems, I'm never gonna tell
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: you to stop drinking.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's like, I think dry January is
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: the dumbest thing ever.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why do that? Not drinking for the month of January.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: I'm like, why If if it's that significant in your life,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: then you really probably do have a problem.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I know I have a problem.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Now it just got sad.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Well, look I have I have. I have an addiction,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't negatively affect my life and all these
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: other problems. I mean, you're like a little dust up
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: here and there because I forget stuff, But for the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: most part fine, And I'll be the first to admit
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that I have an addiction thing to it, but it's
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: not causing mess anyway, this sounds like justification, and I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: can see Justin and Trey going like, Okay, keep talking serious.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I would tell you, Dan, if I thought you had
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: a problem, I would tell you. And I don't think
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: you do.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: That is true. That is true. Thank you, Trey. I
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. And it's been so long since we've hung
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: out with Justin. Justin has no idea. He's like, for
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: all I know, you're on Heroin, which wouldn't be completely
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: out of the ordinary for someone in the radio and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: podcasting field.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I still wouldn't judge you.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. I appreciate it. So let's use that
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: as a segue. So, Foster the podcast is the show.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I almost called it new, but it's not. I guess
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you were on hiatus for a little while, but now
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you've got the show back in full force.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Full force. Yeah. We started twenty thirteen. Roger has been
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: on and it was me and a professional life coach
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: and we did it from twenty thirteen to twenty nineteen
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: or two thousand. Yeah, she had twins, they had some complications,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: then COVID it and then so we kept trying to start,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: restart starting, and so we're officially back now and we've
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: got ten episodes up streaming now and we're recording more
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: next week. But it's basically a dating relationship comedy show
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: with the comedian who is really bad at dating and
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: a married life coach. So we have our friends on
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and talk all stuff dating and stuff.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that's very cool. It's I like the dynamic. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: like the I like that pairing. I'm assuming Foster the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Podcast available on all major podcasting platforms.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, all of it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Very cool, So search for Foster the Podcast. So you're
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: in LA now, have been for many many years. Does
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: that mean you've tried your hand? I mean, I know
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you're a comedian, you're a working comedian. That is your
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: full time job, just like Raj. But since you're in LA,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: does that mean you're trying to, you know, get in
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: on the acting side of things or.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: That's funny you asked that. Somebody asked me that yesterday.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't consider myself an actor because I think it'd
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: be a disservice to people who actually have taken acting
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: stuff and taken it seriously. But people do put me
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: in stuff and I actually just filmed a movie I
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: was on set for six weeks last year that should
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: be coming out this year. Where it was really fun.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I think comedians, you know, like I'm not trying to
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: do Shakespeare, but I think if you throw a comedian
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: in a role, I think that we understand the beats
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: of comedy and we could take direction really well. And
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the director was like so happy with me and like
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: didn't barely have any notes that he actually called me
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: after we were filming. He was like, dude, I feel bad.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: He was like, after you do your scene, we would
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: just move on to the next one. And I didn't
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: tell you that you were doing a good job. I
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: just I just want to let you know that you
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: killed it. I was like, hey, no notes is good,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Like I'll take it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is awesome. Yeah, because I imagine that dealing especially
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: dealing with fragile egos of actors. Yeah, you were probably
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: a breadth of fresh air. But he was probably used
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: to having to coddle some of the actors and was like, oh,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: let me call this guy because yeah, he might think
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I hate him or something. Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I just really learned my lines. I really prepared, and
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I went in and just knocked it out. It was
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: so fun. And uh yeah, so yeah, if somebody wants
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to put me in something, I'll do it. I'm not
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: actively like doing auditions or stuff.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: So so can you tell us what the movie is?
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: And yeah, actually very funny. It's called by Partisan. It's
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: a it's a documentary about a guy who's running for
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: mayor of Seam Valley. And I played white guy Pete.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I'm the only white guy on the campaign trail on
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: a diversity higher.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is fantastic.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: When didn't you almost didn't you almost lend uh Lee
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Harvey Oswald once?
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it was. I was. I had a few
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: auditions for Biopica or the Hosswald I had hair back then.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, at the comedian to played Lee har Yeah. Yeah,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I will say this though, you're first of all, real quick,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: when does when does a bipartisan come out?
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they're going to do with it,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: and they're trying to sell it or put it in festival.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll keep our eyes and ears out of I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: will agree with you though, I'm a huge fan and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of comedians quote unquote turned actors because to me, at
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the beginning, middle, and end, a comedian at its core
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: is an actor. You're you are performing, and to a
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: certain degree, you might be performing yourself. You might be
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: performing an embellishment of yourself or just straight up made
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: up stuff. I'll like if you're playing a character on
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: stage or you're just making stuff up, you know, for
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the material. So yeah, I'm all for it. And some
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of the best, some of my favorite actors started out
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: as comedians.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I think comedians understand the comedy dynamics really well, and
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: a lot I have a lot of friends that are
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: like serious actors, and if it's not if they don't
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: understand the comedy, if it's not written specifically, you know
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: what I mean. Like I think like Raj and I Like,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: you see a script, you go, oh, this is the
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: funny part, this is the beat. And I think a
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: lot of actors sometimes struggle with that a little bit.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I think comedians are really good to be like, oh
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: that's what this, I got it.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I kind of put that up there with some of
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the actors don't have that same life experience than that
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: that comedians do, or maybe they're just not as good
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: at tapping into some of those emotions because most comedians
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: have had to go through a lot of crap, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that's why they're on stage working through their stuff.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of trauma.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of trauma inside comedians. Uh, we're We're
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: happy to see that you're doing so well. It's Foster

• 27:36
  Speaker 1: him a follow as well. Today is Thursday, May first,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Back to something extremely persistent when it
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: comes to topics here inside the Treehouse Show. We've talked
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: a lot about Mount Everest over the past year, and
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: we're going to do it some more right now, because
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: if you dream of climbing Mount Everest, pay attention because
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Nepal has announced a major rule change for anyone who
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: wants to climb Mount Everest. Nepal will grant permits to
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: climb Mount Everest only to those people who have previously
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: scaled at least one seven thousand meter peak within the country.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Seven thousand meters, by the way, is just shy of
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: twenty three thousand feet Everest is twenty nine thousand thirty feet.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: This is a major shift for the tourism dependent country
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: on the world's highest mountain because of concerns overcrowding and
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: ecological imbalance, which both sound like code for the Shurpas
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: are tired.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: The Sherpas are tired of having to go up and
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: scale Everest and clean up everyone's crap.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: And metaphorically that is absolutely true. The Sherpas are not
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: physically tired. They're not physically tired because those guys are
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: like mountaineering machines. I assume the sherps are just sick
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of carrying American orthodontists that the kids called doctor Kyle
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: up and down the mountain.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Well, there was a whole documentary I think it's on
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Amazon about the sherpa is going up there and again
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: you're going into an area called the death Zone that's
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: so lacking oxygen, nothing lives where they have to go
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: up there basically in the off season and clean up
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: and and and bag up all these oxygen containers and
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: all this other stuff. I mean, regardless, disregard all the
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: dead bodies up there.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's exactly true. And some of those people die.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Some of those people that die up there are left
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: up there. Some actually get brought down by the sherp
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: is and tossed them to what I hope they call
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a pile of Kyle's.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: If you're dead, if you die up there, you're left.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: They do not say no.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I think at a certain level they like if if
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you don't go beyond a certain point, they might bring
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you back. But if it's high up you're like no,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: If you're still breathing, they will try to get you down.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: If you're dead, you're that is your final burial.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Like that's the rule. Somebody dies at base camps.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Base camp make but I think probably past base two
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: you're you're getting left up there because chances are, especially
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: the lower the altitude, you're probably got hit by an
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: avalanche or something like that.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: They're not digging you out, they're not wasting their time.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Uh, but that that also if you've ever watched some
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: of the videos over the last couple of years of
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: the hundreds of people in line waiting to get to
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: the summit, Yeah, and and a lot of it it's people.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: It's people with it rose here you go. It's stupid
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: white people with too much money.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, And that's why I mentioned American orthodontists that the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: kids called doctor Kyle. Uh, because that's what it is.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: And this is where I think it's a good thing
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that Nepal is saying, Look, we're not going to you
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: amateur adventurists on this mountain for us to clean up
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: after or leave your body up there, because it's too busy,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: it's too packed. The lines to the top of Everest
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: are starting to look like the lines at the Texas
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: giant at six Flags. It's gotten ridiculous. So now they're
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: gonna say, in order for you to get a permit
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to climb Everest, you have to have climbed another peak
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: in Nepal that's at least twenty three thousand feet, so
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: you at least show some competency to make it to
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the top of Everest and not die.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know you're gonna have all these white people
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: from la and be like, I like Runyon so.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: They can do this.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: The suppers are just tired of carrying trash bags full
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: of monster energy drained down.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I really do think that that that's a big part
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of it. I mean, and you know, the first thought is, Okay,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: is this is this new rule to I'm Everest a
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: good idea or is it possibly going to too severely
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: hurt Nepal's tourism. I'm pretty sure Nepal's tourism like, we're good.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: They can just charge more. It's not like there's going
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: to be a lack of people. And notice they said
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: in country, so that means you've got to go hike
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: another mountain in Nepal. So no, I think it's does
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: nothing but help their business. Because when you go to Everest,
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: it's not like wam bam, there, I did it. You're
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: done in three or four days. It's usually a three
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: to five week period that you're up there from base
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: camp camp and then acclimating. So, you know, the the
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: stupid white people that you know want to plump plump
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: down one hundred thousand plus they'll I think there's still
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: plenty of them.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I would just like to say, by the way, because
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: you guys keep saying stupid white people from LA, I
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: have no desire to in.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn say LA.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: But that's that's why the topic is keep That's why
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the topic of Everest keeps coming up because at the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: core of the different races of humans, the whites are
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the ones that are really into adventurous stuff. Were the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: ones that get eaten by sharks, were the ones that
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: die on Everest, were the ones that die hang gliding?
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, like his life not scary enough. You gotta go
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: look for it? What do you do?
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Like, there was a guy during the NFL draft,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: a black kid who got drafted, and he missed his
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: phone call because his name is Quinn Shawn and he
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: was taking a dump in the bathroom, whereas someone else
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: that could have been picked is probably climbing up K
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: two somewhere in Nepal.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he didn't get service because he was hand gliding.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: But that's why we always make fun of this guy,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and then it really that's why it also leads me
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: to wonder. True said, it's like one hundred is that accurate?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: One hundred thousand dollars roughly.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: To It depends, however, but it's I would say minimum
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: of probably seventy thousand, and then depends on.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: How cushy you want your experience to be.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's gonna be at least ten fifteen,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars in north Face apparel because I'm not
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: going up there in some damn Columbia. I want the
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: real store.

• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Christian Gray in fifty Shades of Gray, not the character,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: but the guy that played him in the movies. Jamie
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Dornan is forty three today. Jamie Dornan turns forty three today.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: That's I didn't see any of the movies, but that's
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: the only thing I really know that guy from. So
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: if anyone knows him from anything else, feel free to
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: speak up. Nope, okay. Darius McCrary turns forty nine. He
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: famously played Eddie Winslow on Family Matters?
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: Is everyone?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Are you guys aware of the Hollywood conspiracy surrounding Family Matters?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: And reginaldvel Johnson? No, but I would love to hear
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: this all right, here we go, So there is a
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: theory in some crazy people circles. I'm not saying I'm
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: one of them. That Reginald Bell Johnson, who is the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: actor that plays the patriarch in Family Matters, was also
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the sidekick LA police officer Officer Al Powell in die
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Hard one and two. So the theory is that in
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: die Hard, al Powell eventually goes home after die Hard
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: and Nachotomy Plaza, and he goes home to his family
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: and Family Matters.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: So it's like all connected.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like Aheard universe includes Family Matters and in
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the same world as John mcclan and.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I really wish that he'd be like eating a twinkie
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: in front of Arkle.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: He was a cop in Family Matters.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: See, there's this is kind of holds some water. And
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: now what makes it possible that if they do a
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: die Hard six or seven, whatever number they're on, that
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: maybe Erkele makes an appearance. Trips Clay More and of
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: course says, I do that, you know, I think I
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: think it can all tie together.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: How you going to do another die Hard with uh no,
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Bruce Wilves, Yeah, he can't talk anymore.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, one of the grooers, one of the groomers
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: finally get him in the beginning.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Just one act movie is weird.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Literally, you just gotta just just put Bruce Willis in
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: front of a camera. It just looks like a lost
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: puppy in the kill him. Yeah, I think that's called
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: cruel and usual.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, that's called the Hollywood. They will they will
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: fund that and make millions of dollars.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: I mean Bruce will Like, that's the whole reason why.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: In the last so he probably hadn't made a movie
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: in five years, but but the five years preceding that,
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: he made all sorts of crap movies, and it was
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: because he knew he had a diagnosis and he was
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: just it was a cash grab to get whatever he could.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: So and in a lot of those movies, he wasn't
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the star. He was on the poster, he had his name,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you know, top billing before the title of the film,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: but he might have only been in the film for
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: like three or four minutes.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because he couldn't remember any lines.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So in essence, they were just kind of propping
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: him up and using his cloud to you know, make
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit of money on some b C level
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: rated action films. So the thought of them bringing him
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: back for a final die Hard is not that out
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: of question.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you're to do a final Diehard though,
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: you have to bring back Samuel Jackson though, don't you.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you got to bring back Zeus. You know what,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe there's a reunion there because in the universe
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: where Al Powell from Die Hard from family Matters, the
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: neighbor kid is Steve Rkele. Maybe Erkele's long lost dad
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: is Zeus from die Heard with a vengeance.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: And maybe maybe Bruce Willis goes out, they put the
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: sandwich board back on them and no one saves them.
• 39:11

  Speaker 1: Today is Thursday, May first, twenty twenty five. We were
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: just celebrating birthdays today and before that we were talking
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: about the new permit process that Nepal is instituting for
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: people to climb Everest and Trey. You were telling us
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: in a break that the airport, like just the airport
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: to land to do the Everest hike is terrifying, let
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: alone the mountain itself.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: I'm actually sending you a video clip of it, but
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: uh yeah, it's like you are literally it. It's a
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: runway carved out on the side of a mountain.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Is Oh so my worst nightmare. I already hate heights,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: so I'm not going anywhere near the top of Everest.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just scary me.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I would even hike It's it wouldn't even be hiking Everest,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: it would just be landing at the airport to.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Go to Everest. Yeah.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think I could even do that first part successfully.
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and when you like I So I've been
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: to that airport. Uh well, I mean there's the one
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: in Ladoc is very similar. I'm sure there's one in
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: actual Nepal, but no is the one is the one? Yeah, okay,
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: ladoncas I've been to that airport. When you land, you
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: land at fourteen feet above sea level, so you have
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: to be you have to have blood thinners otherwise you
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: it's this weird phenomenon that happens.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: I got. So we were in Delhi. From Delhi to
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: the DOC is an.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: Hour and a half flight, which you wouldn't think from
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: you know, North India to like the northern most part
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: of India with the Himalays. And I got my blood
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: thinner at six o'clock in the morning, but we didn't
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: fly out until noon, and we didn't land until like
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: almost two, so my blood thinner had worn off. And
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: you land at fourteen nine hundred feet above sea level
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: with no blood thinner. It makes for a very interesting situation.
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: The only way I can explain it is if you
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: were like when you were in high school or maybe
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: you know, your first couple of years of college or
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: at home, and you come home like on a Friday
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: night and you think your parents are asleep, but they're
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: still awake, and you're drunk, so you try to pretend
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: like you're not drunk, but they know you're drunk, but
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: you think.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: They don't know.
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: So I was walking through the the doc airport and
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: I was so loud and it was it's the drunkest
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: you can feel without having any alcohol. I was loud,
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: I was over enunciating everything, and I was like trying
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: to play it cool, like just had my luggage and
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: I'm like.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: How are you guys today? Thank you so much for
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: having a here.
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: And my handler came running up and she's like, when
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: was the last time you had a blood diner. I
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: was like, you gave me one at six and she's like,
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: oh crap. So she ran to the medical van and
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: went and got the blood dinner and within three minutes
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: it was all over and we were good. But yeah,
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: it's a very interesting feeling and to land it that
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: high and you could see Everest, which was really cool.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: But then we went to Pengong Lake, which is eighteen
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: nine hundred feet above sea level, and the road that
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: goes there is supposed to be a two lane road,
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: but it only fits one car and there's no guardrails
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: on the.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Side, noep nop.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: And I I started like when the guy would turn,
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: like the wheels, like the tires would be on the
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: edge of the to let the other cars go by.
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: What so I mean? I started making stuff up, like
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: we like make a turn and you could like feel
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: like the like half the tires on the road and
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: half the tires not so.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I hate when people clap when you land a plane, right, yeah,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: I would. I would would be constantly clapping on that
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: road anytime we did a successful three point turn.
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, I would. I was making stuff up.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: I was like, you know, please just get me to
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: peng On Lake safe. You know, my kids are waiting
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: for me at home.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I don't have kids.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: It was just making it up.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: Again. And this is my love of documentaries. But some
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: of the documentaries about Everest, and there's one that almost
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: part of it or half of it is just the
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: trip to get to base camp at Everest, and the
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: the as Raj describes the roads that you may be
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: hanging off the side of the mountain because there may
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: be another car. They may be a herd or goats
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: you don't know, true. And and then some of the
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: bridges you walk over, Dan, you would not survive. No,
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: I'm not going because a couple of them, they just
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: they look like something out of Indiana Jones and the
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: Temple of Doom.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, no way.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I had an actual panic attack driving over the Golden
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Gate Bridge recently.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I've been there and I was kind. I didn't I
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: couldn't even walk out halfway. I think I went about
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: a quarter of the way out onto the bridge and.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. Yeah, I can't know, there's no way.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: And then we did.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: We did part of it on motorcycles. Uh, and it
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: was snowing, so now snow in a fast.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: And furious.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: Where where did this white part of you come from?
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: It's a very Indian It's yeah, it's a very Indian
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: thing to travel on motorbike. But yeah, I mean we
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: did the We did the motorcycle and it was.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Same thing. There's no guardrails at all. And so like
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: we had the.
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: Military, the Indian military came by because they were doing
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: some work on the bridge that was that we were
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: actually going to be crossing.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: Uh, but I mean and they were going by so
• 46:18
