• 0:25
  Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. I really enjoy starting the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: show with the stupidest possible thing that I have seen
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in the headlines for that particular day. And while the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Cowboys tried real, real hard to take over this one,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to leave of our Cowboys thoughts to our
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: YouTube show, The Treehouse Cowboys, which you can enjoy. Let's
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: go to YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you can click on that video there The Treehouse Cowboys.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Cowboys lose forty four to nineteen to the New Orleans Saints.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: The main reason I bring that up is because that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: is probably the stupidest thing I saw all week, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: but there was one thing that eclipsed even that really
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: just asenine Cowboys performance on Sunday, and that is this
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: The City of Dallas is going to pay six million
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: dollars to count trees. They're really on a hot streak.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, first the pamphlet trying to find a new
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: city manager, and then on the cover of the pamphlet
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they used the skyline for the City of Houston instead
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of Dallas. There's spending six figures on that, trying to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: find a new city manager, and on the heels if that,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the city council approves a contract to spend six million
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: dollars to count trees. Now, let me say this, This
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: might be a worthwhile project. This might be a worthwhile
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: endeavor in some form, but the headline is so bad
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it almost takes away any of the good work that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: might be in it. Because all I can see is
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: City of Dallas is spending six million dollars to count
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: effing trees. And I'm not sure if I should be
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: surprised or not. Why interesting, Tray, That's the question I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: asked you in our Treehouse Plus episode, because you send
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: us that video of broken penises.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So maybe I'm gonna give the same answer to your
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: question that you gave to mind Education.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: How much would I have to pay you to count
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: every tree in DFW?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Way more than six million dollars?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: You think? So?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Interesting?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Here's what's interesting. Though. They already know that they have
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the neighborhood of one point three million trees.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That's good enough for me. I don't need I don't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: need an exact number. And if you say there's about
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: one point three million trees in the City of Dallas,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'll believe you. I'm not going to spend six million
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: dollars to find out the exact number.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: And as city manager, I will lie to you. Thank you.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm really asking for. It's my love language.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Just tell me sweet things. I'll go away.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: We just got one point three, baby, we got one.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know what it's like running for president.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Just tell me the things I want to hear. It
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they're true or not. I'll be fine.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'll be happy. I'll move along with a smile on
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: my face. The Dallas City Council approved spending more than
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: six million dollars on a contract to complete an inventory
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of trees on city property. To their credit, it was
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: only agreed to after a lengthy debate. The hefty price
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: tag for counting the estimated one point three million trees
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: was called into question by some members of the city council.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Karen Mendelssohn, council woman, said, in an environment of limited resources,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I just have to say it is a little bit
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: shocking that we would be willing to spend over six
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: million dollars for a tree inventory. This just seems like
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: an obscene amount of money. The amount is not too
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: much more. Environmentalists who worry about an invasive pest. John
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and Jenkins, director of the city Parks Department, said that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: when the emerald ash borer was discovered in the city
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: with no inventory, it was harder to protect city trees.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Jenkins said, if we had this comprehensive tree inventory, it
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: would have been much easier to deploy resource just when
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: asked if the city was an imminent danger. If they
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: did not adopt the policy right away, urban biologists argued
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it has to start at some point. The city's Forced
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: master Plan and Climate Action Plan, passed by the city
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: council both call for a tree inventory. Caroline King Arnold
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Countsloman was concerned about the lack of detail about who
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: would receive the heststea contract for the counting Councilwoman Janie
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Schultz urged her colleagues to move forward with the tree count.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: They go ahead. Trade.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I understand, you know, climate changed and everything else, but
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: but the one thing we figured out a long time
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: ago is we actually saved the trees too much, like
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: we actually had a problem of to for at one
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: point we had saved too many trees and they were
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: overcrowding each other.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: So so a Mesquite and I think it's Mesquite and
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: balk Springs is tree city right like there' that's how
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: there are.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So let's just this is just on city property. That's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: what makes us.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: If this was the entire city or Dallas County, okay,
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: maybe I could understand that, but this is just City
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: of Dallas property. Yeah, someone is getting rich on this one.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And as city manager, I will promise to share my
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: money with you guys.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You call it share the merchcury or the FBI would
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: call it, you know, payoffs, but whatever.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'll give you guys some stuff. I'll
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: name a couple of trees after you guys.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: But I mean, have you ever been to Sam's Club
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: and seeing the security people they have in the truck
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: that just just ride around in the parking lot in
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: a truck just about five miles an hour.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: That's how I see this job.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: You can no, I'm Indian. They just the his assuming
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: as I'm walking out, he's okay, he just got bottle
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of water.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: That's just you just cruise around smoking a cigarette, just
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: gone one, two, three, oh, start over?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're gonna lose count. And that's the other thing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It's got to be a team of people doing it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So then there has to be some elaborate system, right
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that that goes into you know, have you counted this tree?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Something as elaborate as you know, writing a number on it?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Well, when it comes to trees, I don't know what
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the number on it would mean, but I'm guessing is
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: that a white person thing, like you guys put numbers
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: on trees? Is that like, how do you guys count
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Like the guy that was stuck on the mountain, how
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: he was coming down with the markers? I don't know
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: if he.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about numbering trees. That did. They
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: didn't give that to us in the White People pamphlet.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: The main thing we do on trees is Walmart childhood
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: loves Oh yeah, or we'll just simply say, you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like was here, gotcha? Okay, and then eventually you grow
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: up and do it on bathroom walls.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Oh that got sexually really weird. Okay.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that you start out with trees and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a knife or something, and then you end up doing
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: with the SHARPI on bathroom walls. And I mentioned earlier
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the pest that they're concerned with the emerald ash borer,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: which is somehow having effect on city trees. That is
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: also known by the acronym Ea b It is a green,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: boupestred or jeweled beetle native to northeastern Asia that feeds
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: on ash species. So I guess these bugs do a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: number on trees and kill trees. So they're trying to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: save the trees we have by getting rid of and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: marking the trees, by getting rid of the bugs and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: saving the trees that we have. At the end of
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the day, you're left with the headline to the city
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of Dallas is gonna pay six million dollars to count
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: trees That just I don't see how that's gonna, uh
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: save the trees from from from a beetle.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, is this This doesn't seem like it has
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: an action plan with it. This is just counting them
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: and inventoring them. And then then they go back and go, oh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: now we need to go see which trees might have
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: the beetle.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure that'll be another like ten million exactly.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is this is one of those multi
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: pronged approaches to continue to take money from the City
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of Dallas because they're so willing to give it to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: really anybody, I'm hoping. So maybe that's just maybe that's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: all we really need to do. We really all we
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: have to do is go down to a city hall
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and just fill out an application for money and just
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: give them some reason made up doesn't even have to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: be a real one as to the reason why they
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: need to give us this money.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Right, or or you can just elect me as city
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: manager and I will uh take the money that they
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: will give and distribute it to the two of us.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like maybe I just six million dollars to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: count trees is a bad headline coming off the bad
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: headline of having the wrong city in your pamphlet to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: hire a city manager. And they really need to get
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: this crap figured out, because this is really embarrassing, because
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: this is a national story, because we're counting trees in
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Texas and this is not the first time we're doing it,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: where this is six million dollars to get verification on
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the first counting of the trees.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: And like you said, yeah, then whatever action plan they
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: come up with, that'll be another you know, six to
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: ten million.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: It's and we uh and we struggle to keep cops.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know why because other cities pay them better.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because they don't send six million dollars to count trees.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know what, Plano doesn't do count
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: any effing trees. Don't do that. Frisco count trees. We
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: got a ton of them. Who's counting? We have so
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: many We can't count that, so many trees. We have,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: City of doubts. No, we really I think we should
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: count these trees and figure out exactly how many of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: them we have, and then we have to figure out
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: what to do about these beetles on the trees. Fog them,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: just fog them. I don't care you're spraying for West Nile.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Fog the damn things. Just just spray everything. I don't
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: who cares about organic anymore? Just that's another way to go.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Just kill the trees. Let nature take its course. If
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: if the beetle winds, then by God, then we'll just
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: plant new trees. How about that? And then we'll pay
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: ten million dollars for a new tree planting plant what's.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That put a picture of Frisco on their stuff.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Plano knows when it's plane on them on the pamphlet.

• 13:51
  Speaker 1: from Fairleas. I am inspired by all of us wearing
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: blue today. It's it's sort of like, oh, well, well
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: we weren't for the Cowboys, but in reality it's because
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: we're blue with sadness because they suck. But I'm gonna
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: ask this question. I asked it in the Cowboys in
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the Treehouse Cowboys show, but I'm gonna ask it here
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: in the regular Treehouse just for the sake of continuity
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and in case for people that don't get a chance
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to watch the Treehouse Cowboys show on YouTube. So the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Cowboys got blown out at home by the Saint yesterday.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Raise your hand if you're surprised.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's about what I thought.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I was shocked as hell at this little development.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Justin Timberlake was arrested for drunk driving a while back
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: in the Hamptons, which is pretty impressive. A celebrity not
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: only getting arrested for a DWI in the Hamptons, but
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the Hampton's actually prosecuting one for it. To me, it
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: must have been pretty bad, But the outcome of it
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: is something else, entirely because they seem to have rectified
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the initial swift justice in this case on the celebrity.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Justin Timberlake. He pled guilty on Friday to a traffic
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: infraction instead of driving, instead of being convicted or pleading
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: guilty to driving while intoxicated, Justin Timberlake has made a
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: plea deal and he has pled guilty to driving while
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: ability impaired. Look, I've gone through the majority of my
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: adult life ability impaired. The Cowboys expressed in their game
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: yesterday how they are ability impaired. I feel like all
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of us technically are ability impaired in some way or another.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So this seems like a really vague plea deal to me.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Driving while ability impaired. You can make the argument that
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: every single driver in DFW is driving while ability impaired,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: except for yourself, because you know you're the best.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: All mean, that ranks up there with obstruction of a highway,
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: which that was that's always to go to down here
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: for a while.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: It is you can get arrested for a d W I,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: but if you've got a good enough attorney, you'll get
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: out of it, and then you'll take a plea deal
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: for obstruction of a roadway.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, he admitted. I believe in court that he was
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: not drunk. He was stoned, and his friend who was
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: supposed to drive, as the one who was driving he's
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the friend ran the stop sign. Apparently at some point,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I believe if this is true, I think they switched
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: and he went I could be wrong, Perez Hilton had
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: something on this.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: We'll check, We'll check the verifict, We'll check the valop.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he was high.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: He wasn't a figure out of what you just said
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: is true as I go through this news story really quickly,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: but really quickly. If that is true, that's the exact
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: opposite of what you're supposed to do as the buddy
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of the celebrity. It's supposed to be you jump in
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the driver's seat, so you take the fall for it. Yes,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: not you, not your friend the celebrity, and then they
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: pay you for it later. But justin Timberlake apologized for
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: his conduct in comments to reporters after court, saying, many
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: of you have probably been covering me for a lot
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: of my life. I try to hold myself to a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: very high standard for myself, and this was not that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I found myself in a position where I could have
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: made a different decision. But I've had some time to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: reflect on that. Would I like to say to everyone
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: watching and listening, even if you've had one drink, don't
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: get behind the wheel of a car. There's so many alternatives.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Call a friend, take an uber. Don't call the friend
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: that was in the car with me because he sucks.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Timberlake appeared in person at the Sag Harbor Village Court Friday,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and the judge ordered him to pay a fine and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: perform community service, and then Timberlake also agreed to appear
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: any public service announcement about the dangers of drunk driving.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So there you go, celebrities always finding a way to
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: get out of things.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I think the maximum fine was five hundred. I think
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: he paid three hundred.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Mm.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he paid three hundred justin Timberlake.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Look, I thought I saw somewhere that he was that
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: he was levy to find a five hundred dollars. Look
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: at it this way. Even if the max fine is
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: five hundred and he paid that, obviously he's got it.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: But if the max fine for something is five hundred,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: as a judge, why the hell would you ever lower that.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: The dude's got it, make him pay the whole five hundred.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: That's otherwise, just don't make him pay it at all.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: That's dumb.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Do you think he's because he could make an impact
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: for other people that want to do what he did.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Do you think that's what it could be? Like he
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: might be like, hey listen, I'm messed up. You guys,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: don't mess up.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: That may have helped him a little bit. But I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: do know that in one that in this case, this
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is what the prosecutor agreed to. And even in the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: when this was presented to the judge, the judge himself
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: even said, I'm paraphrasing. It seems pretty light, but okay, yeah, yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: he went like the judge just kind of went with
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it as well. I think what happened here is I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: think you had a prosecutor that may have made a
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: deal for some tickets at some point for the en
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Sync show, like someone's kids want to go, or the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: or they or the prosecutor themselves, you know, want to
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: go to uh to the end Sync show next time
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: it rolls through New York or something.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I also I'm like, like he's got that platform
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: where he can say, hey, listen, I did this, I'm sorry.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: And then on the flip side, you have Britney Spears
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: uh dancing with machetes, so I mean can go, hey, listen,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not that bad.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing. She did that in the privacy
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of her own home. She didn't do that. She she
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't juggling machetes through the top of a convertible while
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: rolling through the Hamptons. She did that and her high
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: rise in Vegas, where the only person she could possibly
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: hurt was herself or maybe her kids or members of
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the family, or the tripod on which her cameras.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Did or the people down below here's the.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Chase one of the machetes flew out the window.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Or the original plea deal didn't even have any community service.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: The judge added that because even he was like, you've
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: got to be kidnam me with this.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. Trey's like they had
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the prosecutor. I think that's why I had this whole thought.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: The prosecutor put together this beautiful package of a plea
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: deal for justin Timberlake, probably because they got a teenager
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: who's got a birthday coming up, or they themselves have
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: their you know, fortieth or fiftieth birthday party, and they
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: want all their friends to think they're cool and they
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: got a cool job and not just some lame you know,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: county job. So they arranged like a Justin Timberlake party
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: at the house in exchange for a reduced sentence and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: plea deal and all this stuff. And the judge is like,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you didn't send me an invitation, so I'm gonna I'm
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: gonna jack with your plea deal here because this is
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: just dumb.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: But you've got You've seen the mugshot, right, yes, he's
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on now.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know that face. I've seen this. I've seen
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: it in here a number of times.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying like, I don't know how you. I mean,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: if he wasn't that guy, he wouldn't get that deal.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I think he kind of said that in the things
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: like if I wasn't Justin Timberlake, I wouldn't get all this.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: But I had this platform blah blah blah blah blah.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: But I don't tell that to the Suffolk County District
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Attorney Ray Tyranny because in his statement he said mister
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Timberlake chose to plead guilty and accept responsibility for driving
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: while his ability was impaired by alcohol. Mister timer Lake
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: received the same treatment as any other defendant.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: From in Sync.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Coincidentally, the singer is currently on the Forget Tomorrow World
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: tour and his next concert is September twenty eighth in Newark,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. And oh guess who, by the way is

  Speaker 1: This is a great what's sort I'm trying to think of? Oh,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: this is a great example of what about ism. Okay,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: we all know what about ism? It's like, don't worry
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: about what I'm doing? What about those people over there?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Type of thing, right, It's very common in politics, the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: whataboutism stuff. Well, it also has a place in space.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Space Exis Polaris Dawn crew is home, capping off a
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: five day mission to orbit, which included the world's first
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: commercial spacewalk by a billionaire. By splashing down in the
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Gulf of Mexico. The crew Dragon capsule, carrying four astronauts,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: landed off the coast of dry Tortugas, Florida, at three
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: point thirty seven in the morning Sunday. The Polarist Dawn
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: mission made history as it reached a higher altitude than
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: any human has traveled in five decades. A spacewalk conducted
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: early Thursday morning also marked the first time such an
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: endeavor has been completed by a privately funded and operated mission. Meanwhile,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the two astronauts sitting inside the International Space Station got
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a really good look at them as they flew by
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and had all the fun in the world, like, oh,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: look just having fun up there. Look, there's that rich
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: dude out there walking he flipped me off that mother,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and then they got back into caps and went back
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to Earth and didn't even leave anything for us, but
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: good job SpaceX and Polari's don or basically doing a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: space level middle finger to the trapped astronauts on the
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: International Space Station. To safely reach home, the crew Dragon
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: capsule carried out what's called a de orbit burn, orienting
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: itself as it prepared to slice through the thickest part
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of the Earth's atmosphere. So yeah, then they go through
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: all the description on how they how they do it,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and all the science things and and getting the you know,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the rocket back in, which really is it really is
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a great feed. And I'm happy that we're able to
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: do it, and I'm happy that it's being you know,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: at least partially privately funded, not entirely public. Although I
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: think Trey you pointed out the other day that the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: government still subsidizes the SpaceX program by quite a bit.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean it's a joint it's is the
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: government no longer, and it's sad we don't have a
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: space program as a country. So yeah, we've basically subsidized
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: it's a co op with NASA.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean, like most people don't know this,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: but Tesla's I don't believes ever turn to profit. They're
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: just subsidized by the government.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Look, that's the beauty of when you reach a certain
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: threshold of dollars and assets and all these things. For sure,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I work for radio companies, and this is not an
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: indictment on any one of them. This is more of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: an indictment on all large major corporations. Not many of
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: them operate in the in the black anymore. It's usually
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: just dealing with how much debt. So many companies nowadays
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: it's all about servicing their debt and whatever the stock
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: price is, as opposed to, you know, doing a good
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: job or making a really good product. Instead, it's about,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: all right, how can we get the government to give
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: us some of this money? What can we do or
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: say today to make the stock price just a little
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: bit better?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And how many people went I think it was like,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: was it fourteen or is it supposed to the next
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: one is going to be fourteen?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I think this was this, Yeah, four four?
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The Polaris down crew includes Mission Commander Jared Jared Isaacman,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the billionaire CEO of the Finance company shift for payments,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: his close friend and former US Air Force pilot Scott
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: kid Potit, and SpaceX Operations engineers Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: So you had Jared, Scott, Anna and Sarah. I don't
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: know what the former US Air Force pilot Scott kid
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Potite's rank was, so I can't say it, but since
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: his nickname is Kid, I guess I'll go with that.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So you had Jared, Kid, Anna and Sarah go to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: space on the h SpaceX Dragon rocket and they're known
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: as the Polaris Dawn crew.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I'll let you say it.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: No, no, go ahead. Why do you always let me
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: say it? So?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: How normally hog all the fun?
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: How white was that flight?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: They apparently so apparently so white that the astronauts trapped
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: at the International Space Station saw them coming from miles away.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: They're both white as well, so they're just waving at
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: each other.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: No one of them is Indian rush on the the trip. No, no, no,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: on the space station that that's trapped.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: No, he's with the oh with the International Space Station.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean the two.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: From No, No, we don't have a white national space station.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be that would be hilarious. We did.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: On the side of the rocket, it just says watch
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: this part of the fleet. The next the next capsule
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: is hold my beer.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Brought to you by Cores. Wow.

• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Palo Alto. Oh yeah, yeah, all right, so let's now
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: let's look up. Uh Jared Isaacman, billionaire CEO of the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: finance company Shift for payments, and I'm gonna save him

  Speaker 3: Yeah there they are. Oh that's adorable. They look like
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: they're six flags. Yeah, you can, you can keep looking
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: them up, but that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Not not not a single person of color in that
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: in that rocket. Even you already, if some of you
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: are curious how to do this job, I'm about to
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: take you to segue school. Not even an Asian in
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: that rocket. Even the Goonies had an Asian. And I'm
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: speaking of the Goonies. People have been wanting, asking, begging
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: for years or a sequel to the Goonies, and it
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: looks like we're going to finally get one. The original
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: film released in nineteen eighty five. God, the eighties were good, man,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: The eighties were so good when it came to movies.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: If you're not ever sure, and you don't remember the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: eighties as well, or you never lived through them the
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: way the three of us did, you can't open up
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a newspaper anymore. You can go to Google and open
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: up a newspaper to check movie show times for pretty
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: much any weekend in nineteen eighty whatever, and there will
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: be at least two movies, if not three or four
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: or five or six that you could spend the entire
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: weekend at the movie theater and have absolutely yea because
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: partly because in those days, a movie would stay in
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the theater for maybe a year. Nowadays, nowadays that's not
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the case. I mean, you get a couple of weeks
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: to see if you can if you even go to
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the movie theater, and and if you don't perform right away,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: you get you get pushed off onto the streaming thing
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: pretty quickly. Or even if you are a successful film,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: if you're in a movie theater more than three months,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: that is massive. That is absolutely massive by today's standards.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: But again, back in the eighties, if you had a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: hit movie on your hands, that thing would stay in
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the theater for a whole year because we'd go back
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: and watch it m because it was going to be
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: at least six months before we were able to get
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: that thing on VHS.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the big thing. Is what shortened run
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: times in theaters was VHS. And then you started having
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: home movies and then yoh, and then you're right, it
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: was six nine months before a movie came out on
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: VHS and you were really excited about.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: It, and then then you got streaming. Now, so I
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: mean they picked that up. Netflix piss picks it up.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Sometimes there are movies just for Amazon Prime or just
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: from Netflix that don't even go into theaters.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: Well and even yeah, like since COVID, I mean, like
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: you know, Amazon will have you know, movies that are
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: still in theaters you can rent at home.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: You couldn't go to yeah yeah, so the original film
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five. The original Goonies released in nineteen eighty five,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: follows a group of kids from the goon Docks, which,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: by the way, I still don't know what that is
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: in Astoria, Oregon, who follow a treasure trap to try Sorry,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna read this sentence all over again. The
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: movie Goonies, released in nineteen eighty five, follows a group
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: of kids from the goon Docks in Astoria, Oregon and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I still don't know what the goondalks are who follow
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: a treasure map to try and save their homes from foreclosure.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Award winning actors such as Sean Aston, Josh Brolin, Ki
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Hui Kwan, and Corey Feldman starred in the film as kids.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: This news about a sequel was originally reported by the Sun,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: which reports the film could start production next summer, with
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it premiering in theaters by twenty twenty six or twenty
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. And supposedly all the original cast members are
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: back on board.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Corey Feldman's prayers have been answered.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's more than I think it's more than prayers.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I think he's been praying. I think he's been seancing.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, whatever else you can do or find to
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: try to resurrect an actual, honest to goodness movie career,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: because he had a prolific one for a long.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Time, prolific. Yes, the Little Dream which one was prolific.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: The whole career. Corey Feldman's movie career is prolific, and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: then it just kind of stopped.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Then it just became one long Michael Jackson impersonation.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say the same Do you have the
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: bleeve button? Me?
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: You ready? Okay, Michael Jackson, Fuck that dude up.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah you really. You're not supposed to actually say the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: world sorry. You're supposed to do it like this. You're
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: supposed to do it like there. I'll try you, Michael Jackson,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that guy up.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, Michael Jackson, that guy up.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: He hasn't recovered since. So I'm so glad that I
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: love watching Tray sometimes because I'm like, he's on the
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: same page as I am.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: This is why it's important that you have your own style,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: even if it's boring, because if you didn't start the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: outland your style that your friend is sporting, you can't
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: copy it. Yeah, and Corey Feldman is proof of that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: But hey, we're all going to get a goody sequel.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Wasn't Wasn't Hayman that as well?
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Or No?
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I really didn't see the movie?
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: No he was not, And did I did? I read
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: the Spielberg on board too.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the whole crew that's on board, the whole thing,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: even even the the for Telly boys. They're in on it,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Robert Davey or Dobby and Joe Pantleano. I mean, Mama
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: for Telly, I think is long past.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know who any of those people are, but I.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Mean, I have to see the movie, Raj.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: It doesn't sound good.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: The ship has sailed. If you didn't watch that movie
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: as a kid, you're probably not gonna enjoy it as
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: an adult. Although Josh Brolin, who played the older brother
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: in it, I saw a photo of him a while
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: back where he actually dressed for Halloween as his character
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: in Goonies and the Dudes in Better shape now than
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: he was back in it. He was in good shape
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: back then.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Uh, and he's in the deadpool. He's uh, he was
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: cable and yeah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: So Trey, are you excited? Goonies too? Finally happening?
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: You know that's it's it's I am excited and I'm
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: hopeful a little scared because when you when you go
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: back and touch something that has that much meaning in
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: nostalgia to our generation, you just hope they don't f
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: it up.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I think that's the reason why Corey Feldman was a
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: little worried about doing it. That's probably a good time
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to go to a break.
