  Speaker 2: to cover on the show today. We've got the White

  Speaker 2: House correspondence, dinner shooting, the fallout from that Birthdays which
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to today is it picked me up?

  Speaker 2: friend in case you missed it on Facebook or Instagram.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: We know for many of this comes as a shock,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: for others it is not a surprise. Well, we're flooded
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: with thoughts and emotions right now. See, this is what
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: happens when you go to the media. WFAA truncated. They
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: edited my post. Our w FAA edited our post on
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Facebook and Instagram and took out the part where we
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: said Raj died, which.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Is probably insensitive and insensitive of me.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Right now, if you didn't see that post and you're
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: just now finding out my apology, All right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Hang on, this is throwing me off. Now I gotta
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: pull this act.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I have to actually pull it up on our actual
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: post because check channel eight.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Screwed it up. Mmmm. All right, now we can say
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: goodbye to Raj. He's loving this.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: By the way, sad news is never easy to report,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: especially when it hits so close to home. Our friend
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: ras Charma passed away this morning. Technically it was Friday morning.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: We know for many this comes as a shock. For
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: others this is not a surprise. Well, we're flooded with
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: thoughts and emotions right now. We choose to celebrate the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: positive effect Raj had our lives. We remember his laugh
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and his love. We'll miss the jokes, the laughs, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the occasional tears. But most of all, we will miss
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: our friend. Dressed in page or in October twenty second,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy five.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Has to wait. April twenty fourth, twenty twenty six.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Would else like to point out Raj would love the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: fact that this is gone locally viral, so he gets,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you know, one more scoreboard. Yeah, as he heads to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the Hindu version of the Pearly Gates. And I meant
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: every word that we posted. Trey and I are not surprised.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: We knew there were issues, and we hold true to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: also what we said in that right now, we're choosing
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to celebrate, you know, all the good stuff that we
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: had with him and that he's left upon this earth.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: For me, I don't feel super guilty about this because
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I have a really terrible memory, but I don't even
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: remember the first time I met Raj. I think it
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: was in the studio on my Saturday show on one
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: O five three, but I don't remember it specifically. The
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: compliment in there is that once I did know him,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it was like he was always there. So it's hard
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to pinpoint the exact time when we met. At at
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: one point in my life, I probably considered Raj my
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: best friend.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: And then life happens.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: He moved to la and you know, we were still
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: in Dallas, and and then you know, you just like happens,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: You just you don't keep in touch as much as
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you used to.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I'm I think that happens with everybody.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And then, uh, he moved back and we reconnected some
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and ironically we reconnected even more after I moved away
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and he was in Texas and then we had him
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: on this show for a couple of years, and it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: this is an obvious thing to say, but it sucks.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: It sucks to have to say goodbye to someone else
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: sooner than needed.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it is definitely a life gone too soon.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: He was incredibly you know, smart, incredibly funny, had a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: had a wonderful heart, and uh, you know, I I
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it's funny you said that I was. Someone asked me
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I know, I met Raj back
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: in our it was back in our one o five
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: three days through you. I don't exactly know the exact moment,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: but yeah, he was fascinating person and uh, brilliantly funny.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: When when when he was on he was on.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Dallas Morning News and Channel eight content partners
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: there owned about the same company. Uh, they did a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: couple of really good write ups. Headline on w f A,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: A Dallas comedian Raj Sharma dies at fifty following string
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: of recent high hospitalizations. Tribute to poured in across social
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: media on Friday, as area clubs and comics remembered the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: well liked local comedian as supportive, kind, and most of
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: all funny. I will say the photo that the Dallas
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Morning News used, and the reason they used it is
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: because it was from one of their photographers from years ago.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately it was when Raj was in his Wayne Newton era.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I would like to point out that I used a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: good photo of him.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: He was puffy at the time.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But I was actually kind of surprised. The
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: thing that surprised me was the media attention that this garnered,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and honestly it should.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I just I didn't expect it because.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: There are to me, there are a group of comedians
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that are from the Dallas area that to me are
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the ogs of Dallas comedy.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I think that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: There's some big names that came out of Dallas before
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: who I consider to be the OG's, Like I think,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: like even David Spade may have started in Dallas or something.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: But when it comes to Dallas comedy, I think of
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a handful of names I think, and these are all
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: guys that I grew up with, and I would have
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: on We'd have on the radio of one, one oh
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: five three, Paul Varghez, Aaron ari Impor, Mark ag Raj Sharma,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Tone Bell, Asher Allen. I mean, there's there's a litany
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of guys that h really spearhead of the Dallas comedy
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: scene for a number of years, and then eventually they
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: all did what you're supposed to do, which is you
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: moved to New York, you moved to LA and you
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: do the big stuff. Not all of them did, though,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: which is interesting. Dallas has an odd pull on people.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It's true in TV, it's true in radio, it's true
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: in sports, and it seemed to be true in comedy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Sports stars may have a career here and lead to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: go play somewhere else, but they still will raise their
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: kids here, so they.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Still come back.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And the Dallas comedy seemed it was interesting too, because
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you had guys that left like Mark A. G. Tom
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Bell and have had some really good successes. Justin Foster
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is another name. We've had him on the show. But
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: some of these guys came back. Paul Vargeez never left.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: He's still here, has a great comedy career. Raj did
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: la for a while, came home, wanted to come home.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Aaron Arinpour is one of the best comedians I've ever known,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: and he's never left here. He's a family man. Still
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: does comedy, but he's a family man. Jason James is
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a name that was up there as part of the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that crew as well. I mean, this was a crew
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: that when they walked into a bar, watch.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Out, yeah the bar. Then the bar was going chi ching.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the bar's going chaching, and they're gonna giggle all
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the way to the bank because they had good jokes
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: and they all took shots. But and it's such a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: weird thing. And that's what I mean is these guys
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: they stayed or they came back for the most part,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: just such an interesting thing. And in doing so, those
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: to me, those ogs of Dallas comedy, all those names
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I just mentioned, and I'm sure there may be a
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: couple more that I'm brain farting at the moment, but
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: they're responsible for the comedy scene that you have now.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: These guys led that charge and helped which doesn't happen
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: in the comedy scene very often. They helped the younger
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: guys because they remembered what it was like for them
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: to be the younger guys, and they always wanted to
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: pay it back, and I'm really happy that Channel eight
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: included that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: In their story. They said for more.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: For more than two decades, uh Raj served as a
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: headliner at comedy clubs across Texas. After having worked in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: major headliners such as Sebastian Maniscala, Russell, Peter Cheryl Underwood,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and Godfrey, he took his act in recent years to California,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: regular at the Laugh Factory. I believe he was their
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: official host for a number of years. His comedy career
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: took him beyond American borders as well, embarked on tours
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: across the globe, playing clubs in Europe, Australia, and South Asia.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Along with North Texas comedy peers and collaborators Paul Vargees
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: and Aaron Aaruimphoor, Sharma represented a generation of successful entertainers
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: who not only made a career of comedy, but who
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: also served as elder statesmen and mentors to the acts
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: who followed him. That's the part that stood out to me,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and that was very accurate, and I think that's a
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: great legacy to leave behind well.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And also I don't know if it was that one
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: or someone else, but I talked about how good Raj
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: was at crowd work, and he was masterful at it. Yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: if you wanted to heck with somebody, he was the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: wrong person to do it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, in a weird way. He was also really
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: polite about it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I mean it's like he could deal with a heckler
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and swap them away like a tennis match, but wouldn't
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: really ever do it in a mean way like I've seen.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I've seen some comedians walk a heckler and it was uncomfortable. Funny,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: but uncomfortable. That wasn't Raj's style. Raj is still very approachable,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: friendly and funny. So it's really great to see the
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: outpouring from everyone. And I just want to say, personally,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: and I know Trey you're probably feeling this too, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: appreciate the outpouring of kindness and condolences and sympathy and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: support from so many people over the loss of our friend.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: This is such a dumb and selfish thing to say.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: But on top of losing a friend, I hate the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: aftermath that comes with people caring about it and calling
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and texting only because I get overwhelmed really easily, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: that amount of outpouring was overwhelming and it's appreciated, but
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it's also like, oh my god, please please please no more.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Oh. I had a big to do list on Friday,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and I got nothing done and was just by the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: time five point thirty world around, I was absolutely exhausted
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and just wanted my phone to quit, just stop.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very reminiscent to what it was like
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: after Russ died, with calls, texts, comments on posts. Now,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: on one hand, that outpouring of support and condolences is
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a really feel good thing when you're going through it, right,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: But after a while, once I started getting caught up
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: on responses to those messages, it's when it started becoming
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: clear to me that I had not heard from some people,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: which is also interesting, also not surprising given who some
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: of them are, But it's just interesting when you lose
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: a friend, and it's really it's really that myriad of emotions.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: It's it's all the things all happening kind of all
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: at once. And this is gonna sound weird, but I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: got lucky on Friday because, like you, Trey, I had
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: a laundry list of things I had to.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Do on Friday.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: One of them was to perform a ceremony and marry
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: a couple on Saint Thomas, and I wondered, as I'm
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: going through their ceremony and everything beforehand, like, oh, there's
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: a couple spots in here that might kind of hitch
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: my gidda up a little bit because I'm coming off
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: of like, I'm doing this wedding at like four four
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: point thirty in the afternoon on Friday, when it was
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: just hours before we had heard that Raj had died.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And so for the first time in like three four years,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of performing a wedding ceremony and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I almost get choked up, which makes me look really
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: good to the couple because they're like, oh my god,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: he's overcome with emotion because of us. No, but sure, yeah,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you could think that all you want, but you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: so for.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Me, my Friday was on my to do list.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Couldn't completely just he chucked out the window as much
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: as I wanted it to. But I was actually at
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, I was really glad I
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: had that distraction.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's as hard as I tried every time I
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: would try to throw myself into a project, I would
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: get sidetracked. And you're absolutely you know it was It's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it's sweet, it's wonderful, but it was also very overwhelming
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and uh and even we knew, we knew Raj was
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: in very poor health. Like, it was not a complete
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: shock to us.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: We don't want to give out too many details because
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: it's not our place to do so, but we did
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: know that Raj had been hospitalized a couple of weeks
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: before he passed, and from that hospitalization he never recovered
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: enough to get back out. And for those couple of weeks.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: The last couple of weeks, Trey and I have been
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: going about our daily lives, going about this show knowing
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: that we might get a text at any moment.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: With the bad news.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: And Friday morning, we got it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't really make it any It definitely didn't
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: make it any better. It was just not completely blindsided,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I guess would be the most appropriate term I can
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: come up with. Still a shock, but not as bad.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, some people who weren't familiar with everything,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: it was Joe completely out of the blue.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I know, I know some people were curious about a service,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: memorial or something if that was going to have and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: they wanted to know, so we can let you know.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: About that right now.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: We have.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: So this is a complicated Families are complicated, right, So
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: if you knew Raj, Raj would tell you that he
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: had a complicated family life. He and his brother had
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: a falling out many years ago. From what we can gather,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: it seemed like they were able to reconcile that falling
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: out a little bit before he passed. So, as far
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: as we know, Raj's brother is handling everything, and so
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: a service has been planned for Monday, May fourth, from
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: one to three pm at Hughes's Funeral Home ninety seven
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: hundred Webchapel Road in Dallas. Can I just point something
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: out real quick, and this is not a slam on
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Raj's brother. This is a slam on the funeral industry
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: as a whole. Why are these things always at the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: most inconvenient times.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: You know, at that middle of the day on a Monday.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that that's something I mean.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: It was like, why are funeral homes keeping bankers.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Hours although you know they'll do it at any time.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's part funeral home I think it's part
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: people whatever fits into their life the best.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And honestly, with like when my dad passed away, we
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: did it on a Saturday because it was going to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: be out and Lenard, it was a drive for people.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Knew people had to work, wanted to make it as
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: easy as possible, and honestly, you know, in this day
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and age, being that most of the people are around here,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you know, everyone can take off a little bit and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I guess you know, include their lunch break in it
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and go and pay their respects.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and for a lot of us, of a lot
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: of Raj's friends don't keep normal hours anyway. Yeah, actually
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: one to three makes sense for a lot of the comedians.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: It's like it's not too early and it's not so
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: late to where they wouldn't be able to make it
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: if they had an open mic or a gig to
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: get to. So yeah, if now we have not been
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: told this is any sort of a private thing or
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: anything at all, So that's just it is what it is.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I'm just letting you know.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: And what sucks about this is, I know, Trey, you
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: mentioned that you'll probably go me being twenty two hundred
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: miles away, and I have an event on that day
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: that I'm already committed to for work, so I won't
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: be able to make it. Unfortunately, Raj's passing didn't fit
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: into my schedule conveniently or the service for that matter.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: And it sucks because also, kind of like Russ, I
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: couldn't go to his either, those for vastly different reasons.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I couldn't go to Russ's because I had COVID. This
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: is obviously a little different. It's you know, prior business
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: commitment and the distance involved.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: So I'm sad I'm not gonna be able to go,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: but I'm glad you'll be able to.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to think that there's anything else with
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that that I just felt the need or desire to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: cover other than other than we'll miss our friend.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: That's really about it.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: That's I'll keep making fun of white people in memory
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: of Raj.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: He would appreciate that.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, that's what we can do. That's
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: what we can do. I remember a friend of mine
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: who passed away from COVID. His name was Alan Hollis.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: He was a Carrollton police officer. He had retired and
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: then went into the private sector. And he had unfortunately
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: passed away. His lasting legacy was telling people he loved them,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and that's one of the things they said at his
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: memorial was tell someone that you love him.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: And you can do that with Raj as well. But
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: I think with Raj, I want you to think.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I want you to remember every time a white person
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: does something stupid like fall off of Mount Everest, I
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: want you to think of Raj and know that he
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: is up there somewhere laughing his ass off, and we'll
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: be laughing with him.

  Speaker 2: Oh Man, all right, so a lot of stuff happened
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. There was a little PEPW incident at
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the White House correspondence dinner. Shooter identified as Cole Thomas Allen,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: thirty one, accused of rushing a security checkpoint armed with
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: a shotgun, handgun and knives and exchanging gunfire with law enforcement.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I know one officer was hit in the vest and
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: is okay, and the shooter was arrested pretty promptly, and
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: it gave everyone a pretty good scare at the dinner,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: and the fallout has been interesting on it. So, I
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: mean the situation there's whenever something like this happens, there's
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: so much to dissect and to go through. And because
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: there's so much, please help me trade because I don't
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: even know where I was. I don't know if I
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: was still wrapped up and thinking about fallout from events
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: the night before, I mean like actual like wedding events
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: that we had also thinking and dealing with and trying
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: to put my phone down for a while after responding
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: to people for their messages of support about RAJ. So
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: it wasn't until later I was in bed Saturday night.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I opened up my phone. I'm like, what the hell
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: just happened?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was kind of the same way. I I
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: was watching TV. I turned everything off. Then I was
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: watching a show. I got Netflix or something, and and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: then I opened up Facebook before I went to bed,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: or was going to bed at the time, and I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: saw some post about shooters, you know, that captured, possibly
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: shooter killed. And I was like, oh, crap. And so
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: then i open up you know news and then I'm like,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: oh great, And I found out about it just in time.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: When I actually turned on TV. Trump was giving a
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: news conference about it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting, uh.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: In the aftermath of the White House Correspondence dinner shooting,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: it's really interesting to see Trump's reaction afterwards at the
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: press conference basically boiled down to man, this man really
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: wants that ballroom.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: To say this, but this is why we have to
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: have all of the attributes of what we're planning at
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: the White House. It's actually a larger room, and it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: much more secure. It's got it's drone proof, it's bulletproof glass.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: We need the ballroom.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: They've wanted the ballroom for one hundred and fifty years
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: for lots of different reasons. But today's a little bit different,
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: ever seen before.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone's wanted a ballroom more than
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: what Trump does. He has been obsessed with this ballroom
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: since he got back into office. I don't know if
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: anyone's wanted anything more than Trump wants this ballroom. I
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: would contend that in the late eighties, me wanting the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Castle of Grayskull from Masters of the Universe, the letter
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I wrote Santa might pale in comparison to how much
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Trump wants this ballroom.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: And he may get it now.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I mean he should, and he's not wrong. This has
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: been something they has been talked about for decades, and
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: especially security concerns. No other place generally will have yea,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the leader of the free world, just going into a
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: hotel and with all the dignitaries that come in everything else.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: The White House. Everyone thinks the White House is so huge,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: but there is no place to have a function like this.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: So and the fact, I mean he raised the money privately.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: It's everyone. If any other president had done it, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just no one would would think twice about it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: But because it's Trump, everyone you know has a heart
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: on for it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: That's not true.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: The opposing party is going to have an issue with
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: whatever the guy in charge is doing.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: That is modern politics.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: No, not like Trump. I will, I will, I will.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I'll fight you on that one.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Do you remember how bad it was when Obama put
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: a basketball court in on Fox News or wore a
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: tan suit. I'm sorry to bring that up, but they
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: they treated that like it was some sort of something
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: catastrophic that he wore a light colored suit that was
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the color of a suit they were picking apart.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, Oh, it's not.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: That that that that that is that is a horrible example.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I mean the fact that the fact that you have
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: airtime to fill. There were no lawsuits filed over the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: fact that Obama put a basketball court in. Uh there
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: were there. No one was trying to enact, you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: acts of Congress to stop it. It was something, Yeah,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: people complained about it, but it was in a new cycle.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: It probably went away in two days.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the media coverage on it, and it
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: sounds like you're talking about it from like a legal standpoint.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the the the efforts. Yes, there
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: was a lot of partisanship with Obama, but there wasn't
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the vitriolic hate. Republicans did not hate Obama the way
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the left hates Trump.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Based on a lot of the stuff I see and
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: still see.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I'll disagree with you on that because I think both
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: men are hated by people, and I think once you're
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: hated by other people for reasons degrees of hate, you
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: know you can you can dissect all day. But the
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: fact is people hate Obama. Trump hates Obama and people
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: hate Trump. No one of the people that hate those
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: people can see no good in either of them.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: First of all, you didn't have three attempts on Obama's life.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: You did not have people after set attempts bemoaning the
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: fact that they didn't get them. I mean, it's there
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: was a lot of Yeah, people did not like Obama,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: but that was also far more on just political ideology,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: not just they hated.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: It was also a lot of race.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not you know race was definitely a.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Factor, But and you and I have talked about this before,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: there really is like the the the initials TDS, Trump
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: derangement syndrome.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: It's a real thing and it goes both ways.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: There are people that love everything he does and there
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: are people that hate everything he does. I, however, am
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: a person of common sense. I've long said that I'm
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: not a fan of Trump. I don't think he's a
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: good person. But if he does something good, like his
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: first term, I wanted him to do good because if
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: he does good, country does good, I do good.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I'm happy.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: It's a simple equation for me, and I still feel
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: that way. If he does something bad, I will say
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I think that is bad. If he does something good,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I will say I think that is good. And you're
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: not wrong. I mean, the attempts on his life are alarming.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: And the other thing about the attempts on his life
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: that is also fascinating is.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: How you get the.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I don't even necessarily know if it goes to I
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: guess it's a conspiracy theory. People pumping out thoughts and
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: ideas about whether or not this was staged, and people
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: said the same thing about the incident and Butler.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Like, Okay, well all this stuff was too good.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: That's all these conspiracy theories saying that that Trump's doing
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: it himself or whatever.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen and you and I that's what they
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You and I have agreed. I do not understand the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: vitriolic hate uh for Trump, and I don't understand the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: undying love. I don't think I am with you. I
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: don't think he's a great human being. I don't think
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: he's a great person. But he does not move me
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: in a way that that that it moves a lot
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: of people. But the fact and obviously the fact that
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you have h this was what was It cracked me
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: up because again everyone everyone becomes a sleuth on these things.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: You know. It wasn't twenty minutes after the event had happened,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and the first time they showed the photo of the
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: guy on the ground and people are like, oh, that
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: has to be stage. How it's could a photographer be
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: right there?
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Well, here's it's the it's the White House correspond correspond
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: it's dinner.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all there, botogs everywhere that mind you, And
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: like I I there's one girl who I know, she
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: was a fucking wedding photographer, and you know, she's like,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: well that's it, you know, blah blah blah. These are
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: people that have been in war situations, a lot of them.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: So they they and go watch the other the ancillary.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: You know, i'd call it b roll footage. They're all
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: hitting the ground, but they all have their cameras in hand.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: That that's part of what they do. They're all trying
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: to get that bulletser like, you know, they want that
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: photo of the year. So that's how they had that
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: shot is he was there was another you know, photographer
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: on the ground who was like, oh, hey, I'm at
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: the right angle.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Boom, look you what's right in front of me?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I got I gotta quote the suspect to
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: and carpet. So now that we've now that we've covered
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: the seriousness of the White House correspondence there, there are
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: a couple of points.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Here that I think have to be made that are absolutely.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Comical, not and laughable, not necessarily in a haha funny
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: some of it is, but then some of it's more
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: like laughable, like shocking. Right the video when the shots
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: ring out of the Secret Service rushing the day is
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: to get to the president. Why'd they grab the Vice
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: president JD Vance first?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: So it's a sore the vice president to go that's
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: that guy. Well, he has his own detail and then
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: there's a presidential detail, okay.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Then then then then then what what there's the detail
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: doing if the VPS detail.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Is faster there, there's there's a lot of questions of
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: why was he you know, still up there. Why was
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: there not like a human shield around him? Why? And
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I understand they said he fought it and everything else.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: At a certain point the Secret Service supposed to just
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: drag his ass and and and get him to safety.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Secret Service has one job when it comes
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: to the president, that is to protect him, and they
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: don't really listen to the president.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: And in a shooting situation.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: There are and it's finally even because he Trump admitted,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: you know, he was like I was fighting him. I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to say, I want to do this, and they're like,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: they're protocols, sir. And their protocols for a reason is
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: that there's no questions. It's like this happens, you do
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: this right. And I think I think there's some definite
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: questions about the Secret Service. And I mean, obviously there
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: have been three attempts on his life. We probably need
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: to have a reevaluation of the entire program. Maybe it
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: needs to go back under the Treasury Department instead of
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security. They seem to do a better job. But yeah,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of questions that need to
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: be in and the thing that really is mind boggling
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: more than anything else, and this is something the press
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: has talked about both sides of they're like, yeah, they
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: were hardly even checking tickets, like they just you showed
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a picture of the ticket on your phone. They were
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: letting you in.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Now that right there.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: So the quite the security concerns at the White House
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: correspondence dinner are valid because on one hand you have
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: people saying security was laxed. What's going on with security
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the Secret Service and event security,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: you know for the White House, the President, the Cabinet,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: all of that in general, we need to look at that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: The other side is because it seems so laxed, that's
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: when the conspiracy people pop in and go it's got
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: to be a stage thing because this security is supposed
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: to be the best in the world and these guys
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: are running around looking like the Keystone cops.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: And they're not wrong, like there's because you look at
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the people that were there there there's some designated survivor
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: crap right there of you know, if the guy had
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: had a bomb or something, this turns really really bad,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: really fast. But yeah, I definitely think they need to
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: look at some things as to why why security was
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: so lax.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: There's a guy they need to speak to, and I
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: don't know if they've done it yet, and that is
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the guy that was caught on camera on CNN during
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: the entire aftermath of the shooting at the White House
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: correspondence dinner sitting. He is sitting at his table in
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: front of the day is where the president and Vice
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: president were, and he is just chaling down on his
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: plate of food. Did you see this, oh, Trey, It's
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: it's weird to say, my favorite thing about it, my
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: favorite thing about a presidential assassination attempt.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: That's just a weird sentence to say. But it's true.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: The guy that was eating at one of the tables
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: in the aftermath, he was like nothing was going to
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: stand between him and his appetizer. And here's what I
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: hope happened, because what I saw as CNN has a
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: wide shot kind of to the left of the dais,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: So it's like one of those cameras that they had
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: set up, and you could see the entire dais on
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: the stage, and you could see some of those front
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: row tables in the foreground. In the lower left, there's
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: a guy who's standing and he's looking around and he
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: just sits back down, tucks in his napkins, starts eating food,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: and he just sits there. There there's there is a
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: guy from Home Land Security. He's got his rifle across
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: his chest. He's standing there right where the President was
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: just minutes before and just holding security right and this
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: guy is just challenging down on first course, looking like
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: there is not a worry in the world. And my
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: hope is that he went from table to table and.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Ate everybody's food.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: So if you want to look into some conspiracy stuff,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: someone to talk to that guy who was so comfortable
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: in the middle of this emergency situation.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: He was eating everybody's first courses.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: You know. At one point, uh like evidently Trump was
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: being so belligerent. He you know, was talking to you,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: telling him, yeah, you know, stay and sit back down.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: We're gonna serve. Yeah, we're gonna have dinner. They're like, no, sir,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: it's the moment's.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Gone, but I'm hungry.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Stop at McDonald's on the way to the White House.
• 40:58

• 42:02
  Speaker 2: A lot of fun, a lot of laughs, and there's
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: before we get into birthdays. There was one other random
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: story I saw that I wanted to share with you,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Trey that really stood out from the White House. Correspondent
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Stinner In addition to the man who would not let
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: an active shooter situation deter him from his first course,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: there was also the woman in the aftermath of the
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: shooting who was seen snatching wine bottles from the tables.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: A woman was caught on camera blissfully snatching bottles of
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: wine during the chaotic aftermath of the shooting at the
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: White House, correspondent Stinner. While throngs of reporters and other
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: guests fled the White fled the Washington Hilton ballroom, an
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: unknown blond woman wearing pash fur went straight for a
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: table to stockpile booze.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: She and the dude eating stuff. Those are people you
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: need to look at.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: If there's any sort of a conspiracy going on, you
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: need to talk to them, because I don't know if
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: they're just being opportunist or if they actually knew that
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: something wasn't quite right with this whole situation.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: But uh, some people are just people.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Some people are not gonna let a man with a
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: with a few weapons get in between them and a
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: play actators or a bottle of wine.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I mean that woman went in there knowing she was
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: probably gonna knock back two bottles, and she wasn't gonna,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: let you know, an emergency stop her from that. And
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: it was already opened, it was gonna get used, it needed.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna throw it out. If not, you know,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: she just took it. Hey, I understood it as as
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: a as a recovering alcoholic.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I understand, of course you do, because you'll see her
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: at a meeting someday. And look, if it's already paid for,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: is it really stealing because she was gonna drink it anyway?
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: You know that, especially if any bottles are red, they
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: basically gonna get trashed, so they'd already been opened as
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: might as well. Hey, waste not want.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: Not, that's right.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Look, this is a scary situation I've I've been involved in.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna need a way to self soothe. So I
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: figure five or six bottles are red, will do it
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: tucked under my fur coat?
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: Oh god, people, people, I mean, And you know, listen, hey,
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: if a gunman got through security coming in, she's probably
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: knew she was gonna be good with getting some wine
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: bottles out.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: She ain't wrong, all right.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Today is Tuesday, April twenty eighth, twenty twenty six birthdays today.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: It's pretty good day, too short. Turn sixty man, that hurts. Wow.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jessica turns forty five. I would like to thank
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: our I would like to thank our buddy Tone Bell
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: for being the one step link between us and Jessica Alba.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: They did a little movie that was released on Netflix.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: I think it was called Trigger Warning and.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Tone.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Our buddy tone was in that movie starring Jessica Alba.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: So thank you Tone, which, by the way, did you
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: see I'm sorry, go ahead, d she's married a Timberlake. No, no,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: that's Jessica Alba. I mean sorry, that was Jessica biellel
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Okay or getting a divorce now, Jessica Alba Timberlake. Yeah,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Jessica Bile and Timberlake are getting a divorce.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, justin Timberlake. Yeah.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: So if there's something, if there's something you need to
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: tell Brandy, now that Jessica Bile is available, now is
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: probably the best time.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: You leave that alone. Yeah all right.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Actually, but Jessica Alba is also about to be divorced.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: She's back on the single market. Sheeing her husband, Cash Warren.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: I think it filed for divorce.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: I just saw something talking about you know. Oh, and
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I just drew a blank. Jamie Gertz, you remember her.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: M hmm, yeah, from Twister, I Gotta go, We've Got Cows?
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Right, you know, she's worth twelve billion dollars.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Say what.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: So she and her husband, her husband's in finance, but uh,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: they bought the Atlanta Hawks and for like seven hundred
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: million or something, and then that's like quadrupled. But yeah,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I just saw I was reading a deal about her
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: because there was she was at one of the basketball games,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: so that she's seldom seen, but you know, said her
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: estimated net worth is twelve billion dollars. She took that
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Twister money and.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: She didn't good. She parlayed that shit.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: She went from We've Got cows to own I own basketball.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: That's pretty solid. That's actually that that reminds me of
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Julia Luis Dreyfus. Her father, I believe, is a shipping
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: magnet and is worth billions. So it sounds like Jamie
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Gertz married into kind of her situation.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: No, that's one of the things that he wasn't that
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: wealthy like when they but evidently she made and they
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: give her a lot of credit. She made a lot
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: of really good financial investments.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Then more Power Tour and Good Credit Tour then yeah,
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: but yeah, Julia Luis Dreyff is her her family. Her
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: dad is a like a Mediterranean shipping magnate or something
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: like that, worth billions, and because of that, she was
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: able to pursue an acting dream. She didn't need daddy's money.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: She went and made her own kick ass career and
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: she's still doing it.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: So, speaking of Jessica Albert turning forty five today, our
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: buddy Tone Bell was in that movie with her.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: I think it was called Trigger Warning.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Speaking of our buddy Tone Acme versus Wiley Coyote trailer, the.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Movie finally is going to be released.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: This is a movie that they shot a couple of
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: years ago and it just got shelved by Warner Brothers
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: and now it's actually going to come out. They released
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: a trailer for it last week, and I remember Tone
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: telling us, yeah, we got this thing.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: It's it's finally going to come out when he told
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: us what it was.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: But I don't think I remember him telling me how
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: stacked that cast is John Cena, Tone, I need to
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: pull it up. I mean, this is one of those
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: it's it's where it takes the cartoon into the real world.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Wiley E.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Coyote is filing a class action suit against the ACME Corporation.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: So it's it's a crossover kind of like how who
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Framed Roger Rabbit was a crossover between the animation and
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: the live action world. And that's what this looks like.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: So you have cartoon Wiley E. Coyote in court suing
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: the actual ACME Corporation for all of its faulty products.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: But the trailer actually looks really good and it's one
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: of those I can't figure out why they didn't release it.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it just got stuck in corporate
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: limbo and production and distribution stuff because there was companies
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: changing hands or what.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I I don't think tone really was sure. I think
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: it just but you said a couple of years ago,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: I want to say that they worked on like that
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: was something like they've did prior to COVID. Yeah, you
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: may be right, And then I think maybe because of
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: COVID it got lost in the shuffle.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: So starring John Cena, Lanta Condor, Will Forte, PJ. Burn,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: a bunch of people you would recognize, and it, like
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: I said, watched the trailer a couple of times.
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: Looked really good.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: I'm excited for it, and I'm excited for a buddy.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Other birthdays today, you go back to my service. Penelope
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Cruz is fifty two and Margaret eighty five. Man, she
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: is still kicking.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, Bridget Monahan turns fifty five today. A lot of
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: people forget she was that. Tom Brady is her baby daddy.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, she's factorous, fifty five years old.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: She has aged really really well. It's unfair that some
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: people have that advantage.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah at TB twelve mm hmm.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Apparently it does the body good. Yeah.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady was with Bridget moynahan, had a child with
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: her before he hooked up with what's her name, the
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Victoria's Secret Model. So Bridget Mornahan fifty five, probably best
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: known for her roll in Blue Bloods. Other birthdays today,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: shortstop Barry Larkin from Cincinnati Red's Fame. He's sixty two
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: and that's pretty much it. The other random was that
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: that service likes to throw out is James Monroe. Obviously
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: he's passed long since past, but today is his birthday.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: If he was still alive and doing things for the country,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: he would be two hundred and sixty eight, and then
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Harper Lee would be one hundred if Harper Lee were
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: still kicking.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Kill a mockingbird. That's right, huh, look at.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Me, very good trade, nicely done.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Trey sent me this, and I wanted to make sure
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: we got on it because this is a great headline.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: We started having sex. Then he facetimed his friend, Benji,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: the man I was sleeping with, leapt from the bed
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: to catch his phone, which had been propped up on
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: the bedside table. With a vigorous rhythm from our sex,
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: the phone had dislodged and hurtled to the ground. It
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: usually wouldn't have been a big deal. The floor was
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: carpeted and the table wasn't very high, but it wasn't
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: the phone that mattered. Benji caught it and laughed, placing
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: it back on the table. A face on the screen
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: looked back at me, and I smiled. We weren't watching
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: born instead, we were the ones being watched. Despite it
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: being new to me, everyone involved was having a brilliant
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: at time. She didn't realize that the buddy was on
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: the phone.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: This is kind of troubling.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a bromance. Taken way too far.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this turns real fast, finn Is. I guess.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: The guy on the other end of the phone says
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: not to worry. All part of the show.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: As he grabbed her, ready to continue with what he
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: was doing on his end of the phone.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: So basically, you got a guy who's having sex with
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: his girlfriend, but before they started having sex, he facetimed
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: his buddy and put him on the nightstand so his
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: buddy could watch and enjoy.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are some things I just don't want to see,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: and one of them is my friends having sex nor
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: flip it around. Do I ever want my friends to
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: watch me jerk off?
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you for putting that in perspective, because I was
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: this close to saying, what's wrong with watching me have sex?
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty good at it. You might learn a thing
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: or two.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: But then when it's flipped around and you're enjoying yourself
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: while I'm doing Yeah, I don't want to be any
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: part of that equation of it.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: And you know, you and I have known each other
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: a long time. I consider you one of my best friends.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: But I know, huh huh, at no point do we
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: need to know each other? No boundaries? People boundaries are
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: very important in life and in friendships.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I'm also pretty sure this particular situation is illegal, so
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: keep that part in mind for all things Treehouse, Treehouse
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: on Air, dot com. Give us a follow on social
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: media as well at Treehouse on Air. On the show funny,
