• 1:54

  Speaker 3: Yeah. That the combination is pretty spectacular.

  Speaker 2: And it's interesting too because you noticed she kept her
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: eye glasses on, so she wanted to see what she
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: was doing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Are those glasses or goggled?

• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's definitely a season vet. She's seen war.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: She's eating pie in the best of times. She's eating
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: pie in the worst of times. She's been in a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: dust bowl when it was a euphemism.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know what what qualifies as a Subaru classic,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: but I bet she drives it invented and I bet
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you didn't go home alone.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I bet Oh, yeah, no, definitely not. And the sticker
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: on the back of that Subaru tray will read I
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: can even make a dust bowl wet or just simply
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: lesbian pie Eating Champion twenty twenty five, sim Francisco, So it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Might be one of those that has you know, twenty
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: stickers that it goes back to nineteen eighty eight.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: A fine year, a fire, very fine year. Like I guess,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I guess it was because of the other stories I
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: saw this week, the ninety five year old bus driver,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the actual grandma stands and McKinney that you know social
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: media algorithm said, you know what Dan needs to see today.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: He needs to see this old lady getting after a pie.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And you know what, it wasn't wrong, which.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Brandy told me. She goes, well, you're like my grandma
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: stand You know, I come to you and I need
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: something to explain.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Wow, just when you thought dating a younger woman was
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: gonna be fun. Uh huh, she stabs you right in
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: your old ass heart. On the other hand, trap, you
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: could lean into that and you can have a daddy stand,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: except there will be no talking. That had to hurt
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: when she said that, though.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You know, she meant it in a nice way, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it was just the way it came out there. It was, Yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: it's stung a little bit. Then I found it amusing.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you can find it amusing. But it's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: interesting how when young people pay an older person a compliment.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It hurts first because they don't realize it's like they
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: just genuinely think they're offering up a compliment. Problem is
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: they're not on the receiving side of it, so they
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: don't realize that it's sweet. But it also stings a bit.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: What was she asking you about that she needed to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: go to your stand and ask for clarification or information
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: on the past?
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I don't remember what the question.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Was, classic old man maneuver.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Trey just fell asleep midway through, woke up and
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: just screamed, get off my lawn.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It was something about the Cold War and that's ah,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: did you tell her? It was the best?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: It was?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: The The Cold War was the best inspiration Hollywood has
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: ever had because we got some of our finest films
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: out of the Cold War. In music and music, Yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I mean tons of great stuff. Like don't get me wrong.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The post nine to eleven era was also good for
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Hollywood because for a while there, Hollywood didn't know who
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the new bad guys were. The Cold War was over
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and then it's kind of shifting stuff and it was
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: kind of lost, and then nine to eleven happens and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you got a little bit of terrorist stuff in there
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: before nine to eleven. But after nine eleven, then Hollywood's like,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: now we got our bad guys for every show, every everything,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and we're still in that era.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, trust me. I would get you know, go
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: to these auditions and you know there's fifty people in
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: there that looked just like each other.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I was like, no, I can't. And so I remember
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: telling Fern, who's the vice president casting for CBS. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: was like, no cab drivers, no terrorists, and she's just like, well,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: then you're not gonna work. And I was like, okay
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: with that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: It's okay to have standards. Yeah, it really is. It's
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: okay to be like, you know what, I don't want
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to I don't want to only portray a stereotype.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I would look at it as I guess it kind
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: of depends on you know, uh, if you need to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: pay bills and or well, let me at least look
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: at the script. Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: No, I just couldn't do it. I remember I turned
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: down one audition for it's called Taxi twenty Taxi twenty
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: one or some Taxi twenty two something length, and I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: just was like, I can't go I'm not going to
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: be And this was playing a like devout Muslim cab driver,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: like the whole garb, and I was like, Nope, I'm
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: not going. And I get a call from Fern and
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: she's like, you're the owner of the cab company. I
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: was like, I'll see it at the audition.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: As long as I'm in management. Because because because it
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: does make sense if you were to say, as you did,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you told the head of CBS, no cab drivers, no terrorists.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not playing those roles. But what if she came
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: to you with a doctor a medical drama, because it's
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: also very stereotypical Indians in the medical field, would you
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: have turned that down because it was stereotypical.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: No, but also keep in mind that's brand new, like
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Er was on for fourteen fifteen years before they had
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: an Indian doctor. Yeah, and I would watch I love
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the show, and I would watch it. I'm like, I
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: just don't trust that hospital. Yeah, like there's not one
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Indian doctor in that place.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not going. Eventually they did. Eventually they did, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: it took a few seasons.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they brought in perminder nagra from Bend Atle
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: like Backham yep, and that was the only one. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: then now you turn on like you go to the show.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys watched the pit. No,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: it's really good, that's what I've heard. And there's a few.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: There's a few Indian doctors and that one one's a
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: female resident. That's pretty cool. So no, I would tend
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I mean stuff like that, like scientist doctor.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So it's okay if the stereotype is prestigious, Yes, got it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: So if CBS comes calling with doctor Sharma new from
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: CBS Wednesday nights at nine, Healing Hearts and Racist Minds,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, every week, every week, every Wednesday at nine,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you'd be on board with that one.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: The way you can act like your parents are proud
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of you.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Yep. I just want to be able to say, you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: not a doctor, but I play one on TV. Let's
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: just be able to say that line and mean it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: And ironically it'll pay more.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: This is.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Are dot com.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Eight three three Cook df W is the phone number
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: to get your free roof inspection and property reviews scheduled
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: with Daniel Cook eight three three Cook at DFW. The
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: website cookdfw dot com. We talked on a recent episode
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Daniel on My Television. It suggested to me I should
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: watch the film Christmas Twister. I will say, based on
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the artwork, I was very intrigued. But after watching the trailer,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: man that is I can That's as much as I
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: can say. I mean that is, that is some terrible performances,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and those are the ones that they put in the trailer.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Well, Dan, that's scary because if you which we all
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: know who listened to the show, you will give a
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: lot of leniency toward bad movies. So if you're the
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: one that's saying, WHOA, this is going to be awful,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: I'm really scared. I have not heard of that movie
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: at all. But if I'm gonna trust that, if you're
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: the one saying that, I'm definitely not gonna go look
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: it up.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I'll send you a link to the trailer. If you're
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: a fan of Starship Troopers, I think I just said
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Starship Troopers. Starship Troopers like Starship Troopers. This film, Christmas
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Twister also stars Casper Van Dean.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I am not a Starship Trooper fan.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: That movie was so ridiculous I can hardly get through it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: I kind of got mad at myself that I stood
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: there and waited and watched it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I think that's part of the reason. There was just
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: something about it at the time, and I'm like, why
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: do I love this movie? It's just dumb and dumb,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and it's one of those that it's kind of it's
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: kind of morphed into a comedy. So like, if I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: watch it now, it's hysterical, especially when Neil Patrick Harris's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: character comes on for those little commercials. It's like, as
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: they're torturing this alien life for him, but like want
• 12:58

  Speaker 2: just sit back and wait. I'm sure you'll get an

• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Apparently, Joey Chestnut is still the winner of the Nathans
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: record holder of the Nathan's hot Dog eating contest at
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: seventy six hot dogs, which is about the equivalent of
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: sixteen pounds of wiener.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: He'd be popular at Hunky's.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I just don't know how that happened. How they do that?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: The competitive eating is it just how do they stretch
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: their stomach out to do something like that?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: One I believe it's practice. And two they don't eat
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the hot dogs in a normal way that we all
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: eat a hot dog. You know, you got you know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the wiener in the bun and then your toppings and stuff. Well,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the first of all, they have no topics on it.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And what they do is they eat the wieners separately
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: from the bread, and the bread they soak in water
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: so they can just swallow it. Mm hmm.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but still seventy two hot dogs has or seventy
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: seven hot dogs whatever it is, has to take up
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: a tremendous amount of space in your stomach. So I
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: don't know how they.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: That's why you're not allowed. That's why you're not allowed
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to poke any of them in the belly after the competition. Right,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: It's like.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: They they they practice like they have a whole training
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: regiment that they go through.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: It sounds stupid because it is, but it's real. They
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: have an absolute regiment when it comes to that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I saw some video some guy and this was the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: second fastest time, Like he did like that old seventy
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: six er from that steakhouse in Amarilla.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Seventy two ounce, yeah, the Big ex and Steak ranch
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: in Amarillo.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which it's not only the steak, but it's like
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: a baked potato and some other things solid. Yeah, he
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: finished it all in six minutes and twenty three seconds
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And that was the second fastest time ever.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Holy shit. Yeah. The first fastest was a lady in
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. I think she knocked it out in like
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: five something minutes. I mean, it's it's insane what people
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: are able to do if they really set their mind
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: to it. Speaking of which, it is great to have dreams,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: but you also need a plan. Okay, case in point
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: a wanna be lion tamer was killed by a lion. Again,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: great to have dreams, that you need to have a plan.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: You can't just jump into a lion enclosure in Brazil
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: and think you automatically know how to tame lions without
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: any sort of tools. But that's exactly what this guy did.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Year old man was mauled to death after climbing into
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: a lion enclosure Sunday morning in Brazil. Viral video capture
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the incident. No, I don't have it, and I didn't
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: look for it. Showed the victims scaling a roughly twenty
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: six foot tall fence to enter the lioness's enclosure at
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Aruda Kamara Zubatentacal Park.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: You really did see the video?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I assume it was just him climbing into the enclosure
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: and then I'm sure social media police, you know, turn
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: it off or make it go dark before the before
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the lioness grabs him by the mouth, which is what
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I heard.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: She did it's blurred, but what he does is he
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: hops on a fence, then he jumps onto a tree
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and then shimmies down the tree to get into the enclosure.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: So he learned to break into this lion enclosure by
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: watching looney tunes.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: This was not his first time. From what I read,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: h that that he he was delusional and thought he
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: had a connection with the lions, and uh was well,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the zoo knew he was crazy. He wouldn't hire him.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: M But you know sometimes they say, like bartending, you
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: don't know if you can really do it till you
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: get behind the bar.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: And you just throw yourself to the lions. Ye no, oh,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: you're not wrong about that. But I will say it
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: turns out he did have a connection to those lions.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I mean it was more like them to him. But
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: still I don't know if that same affection he had
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: in his heart was shared with the lions unless they
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: ate the heart as well. But his name was Gerson
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Demelo Machado. He had long aspired to be a lion tamer.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Turns out he was not. He reportedly did have mental
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: health issues and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. The zoo
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: confirmed in a statement that the individual deliberately entered the enclosure,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: was attacked by the animal and did not survive his injuries. So,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: knowing what we now know about this story, and from
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: what Trey told us about how this guy was a
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: repeat offender, he had attempted to and had actually jumped
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: into the line enclosure previously, shouldn't zoos have security on
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: site to tranquilize the guests and the animals as needed.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: You would think, yeah, I mean.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I would say probably most American zoos have something on hand.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: But this is Brazil.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I'm Brazil's not exactly you know. I mean, it's not
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a third world country. They have money, they have capabilities,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: They have a zoo. It has an enclosure. It's not
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: like just a walk about part Afghanistan had a zoo
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Dan Okay, look that's different. I believe theirs was zoo.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: In quotations, I mean, I feel confident like most American
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: zoos you would not be able to pull off what
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: this guy did. They and maybe maybe we're just ahead
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of this of all the other zoos in idiot prevention.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: You know what, I think that's it, That's exactly right,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: because in America, we know that we have to make
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the enclosure not just safe from the lions jumping out
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: into the guests, but being enough room from where the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: guests stand to trees and things to launch themselves into
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the enclosure. You're right, we've, idiot proved it going both ways.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Brazil only did it the one way, and now that
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: dude paid the price, I mean.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And we had an advantage. We have white women here
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that that we have, you know, just study them and
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: know how to, you know, keep them out of enclosures,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: and then you're pretty much safe because they will go
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to any means you know necessary to pet the death.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Kiddie. Absolutely, you keep an eye. You keep an eye
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: on Keeley and Kylie. You see what they do, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: then you just you know, make the appropriate adjustments in
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: their wake.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Also, doesn't the Dallas zoos serve beer and wine and liquor.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know about liquor.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I know beer and wine.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And also I want to keep them from getting
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: sauced and then and then deciding at that moment like
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be a lion tamer as well.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna jump off the mono rail in the
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: wilds of Africa.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I can I can do it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna peditor out.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Are left kids? We have a free roaming primate stupidest spiral.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Uh so, yes, Stray, I think you're right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I think the US has idiot proved to a higher
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: standard than the rest of the world. On the other hand,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: maybe the rest of the world doesn't want to idiot
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: proof because they're like, you know what, you want to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: go to an American zoo, you can't get close to
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: these animals at all. You come to our zoo in
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the second or third world country, you might have a chance.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: And for everyone else it's like, hey, we didn't charge
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: any extra for that show.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: M hm. That's also true speaking of shows and wild animals.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: So it's apparently old People and Animals week here inside
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the Treehouse and this one is an immediate classic of
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: a Virginia liquor store had an unusual guest over the weekend.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: A drunk raccoon was found passed out in the bathroom.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Oh beautiful. According to the Hanover County Animal Protection and
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Shelter authorities, found the masked bandit collapsed face down in
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the bathroom of the Ashland ABC store on Saturday morning,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: where the furry burglar had apparently gotten so White Girl
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: wasted it, ransacked the bottom shelves, and drank multiple types
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: of alcohol. In a social media post, officials said they
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: took the very intoxicated raccoon back to the shelter to
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: sober up before releasing him back into the wild. I
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: think that maybe what they should have done was to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: turn the raccoon over to tray to immediately take to
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: an AA meeting. According to the authorities, after a few
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: hours of sleep and zero signs of injury other than
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: maybe a hangover in poor life choices, the raccoon was
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: safely released back to the wild, hopefully having learned that
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: breaking and entering is not the answer. Usually, the Hanover
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: County Animal Production and Shelter helps rescued animals if they're
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: found in the wild. This case was a little different,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: but the mission remained the same.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: And have a hell of a story for his buddies.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, I found the magical land of liquor boys.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you all about it. And now let
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: me ask you guys this. Let's say you work at
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: this liquor store. You walk into the bathroom on Saturday
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: morning to give it a clean before opening up the
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: door to the public and you come across a face
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: down raccoon next to the toilet. What do you do?
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Miserate a little bit. I've been there, buddy, Just shut
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: the door, given out a murder sign.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just turn off a light and leave then,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: because an't they don't they carry brabies, is right.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think they carry it innately, but they you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: it is sometimes possible for them to get rabies and
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: go a little crazy. In this case, I don't think
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: this one was foaming at the mouth. I think it
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: was just you know, frothing.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he drink, he'd drink the rabies away.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it was. He had rabies and he
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: got into the bottom shelf liquor and just whiskeyed it away.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's how you beat uh rabies in the
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: animal world. You just get hammered. Yeah, and hope it
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: goes away.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Right, Like that's in the pamphlet they hand out rabies
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: in you an unexpected journey that ends at the liquor store,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: face down in the bathroom. It's good and convenience.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: He didn't have to wait for the per simons to
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: fall off the tree and start you know, fermenting.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this this that actually reminds me of I can
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: never remember the island, but it's an island somewhere that's
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: full of monkeys and they drink, they steal alcohol, and
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: they eat fermented fruits like crazy. They're just crazy, crazy
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: drunk monkeys. And I think they smell.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be somewhere like Southeast Asia. That's what
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: that sounds like.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's not rock Wall. I mean no, no,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: you mean what maybe not every night?
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: It just depends on what you're doing. Yeah, yeah, I
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: guess the real question there would be if you work
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: at that liquor store where you open the door and
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: see the raccoon face down, you know, next to the toilet,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: is does he have a friend that's human next to him,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: also face down holding his fur back?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Saint Kitts.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: That's where it is, really it is in the Caribbean.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: You just gave me a whole new island to go explore.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: That's not that far away from where I live.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that they can also rip your face off,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: So now alcohol.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I think they don't give him fireball and don't give
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: him Jaeger. I feel mostly safe about it. If you
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: just give him like like beechy cocktails, give him a
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: nice rum punch. I don't think they'll have the fighting
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: gena turned on.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, rum punch.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: You These are the small ones that, uh, I think
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the vervet monkeys something like that.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, so the non face rippers, yeah, they're just they're
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: just here for the party. How the Saint Kit's not
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: made that part of their tourism campaign, right, Just drunk
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: monkeys screaming I'm here for the party, me too, Just
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a four page pamphlet. Drunk monkeys, drunk monkeys, drunk monkeys.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, is it. I think it's the Bahamas that
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: have the the feral pigs on the island and they're
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: actually kind of crazy, like they'll eat some stuff. But
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: you know, drunk monkeys on Saint Kits, I mean, that's
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: that'll that'll bring in tourists. Yeah, I mean just imagine, yeah,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: imagine being at a swim at bar and that the
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: dude next to you, it's just a full on monkey.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Saint Kits. Come for the weather, stay for the drunk monkeys.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: See it sells itself, it does. I'm never going, but
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: you guys have fun.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just have a monkey with a Pina colada
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and a cigarette. Hey yeah, here for a good time,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: not a long time.
• 28:16

  Speaker 2: You know the saying too close for comfort? That's how
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I felt there near the end. Thank you, Jerry, appreciate that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: If it is Thursday, Happy Thursday to you. If it
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: is your Friday that you're listening to the show, Happy
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Ford Day Inside the Treehouse. Two massive stories that we
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: need to touch on before we close up the Treehouse
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: for this week. The first of which is this a
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: sport Bank influencer is dead at the age of twenty five,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: killed after running into a truck. You know the saying
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: at least they died doing what they love. I feel
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: like the reason why you do the thing saying that
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: you love is because it doesn't kill you, and the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: moment that it does kill you, I feel like the
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: love affairs should be over. That's just what I think
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: it is. It is, yeah, but I mean as I mean,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: as the truck is going through your body and eventually
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: gets to the heart, I imagine you're not going to
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: have the love for the sport biking that you once did. Again.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: That's just me, though. Karen Sophia Kiros Ramirez, a popular
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: influencer known for posting motorcycle related content, has died. The star,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: also known as bike Girl Online, lost control of her
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: motorcycle and ran into a truck in Columbia on Wednesday.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: After colliding with the trunk, she was then run over
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: by another truck. This is sorry, come on the most like.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: According to a transportation official, the most likely hypothesis for
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: the accident is that the motorcyclist was traveling between two
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: vehicles and act more commonly referred to as lane splitting.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: The official also told an investigation into her death is underway,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: although I imagine it won't take very long. So just
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: keep that in mind with whatever hobby you have is
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: just you know, if it has a deadly element to it,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: maybe don't do it. Be careful, or don't do the
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: stupid side of it. Because the lane splitting thing, I've
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: seen a lot. I've seen a lot of that, and
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I see that a lot of where I live, and
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I wonder, I don't know how you guys don't eat
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: more trucks, but and when and when someone does, By
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: the way, like we've seen this in the like the
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: DFW motorcycle community where they do the stunting and they'll
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: shut down the freeways and inevitably one of them gets
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: hurt and or dies. They all have a big motorcycle
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: uh you know, rally on the middle of a freeway
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: where they stop trafficking stunt in memory of the person
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: that died doing that exact thing. I'm not saying you're
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: asking for it. I'm just saying, maybe find a different
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: way to you know, celebrate your sport or to live
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: life on the edge.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like a stupid In California, lane splitting is legal,
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Like you can like they encourage it because of how
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: conjust to traffic is.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. I remember going to California before, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: that was a legal thing where they're allowed to do it,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: and in Texas it's not right, right, Yeah, in Texas
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: you might catch a door, and and in Texas, if
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: you catch a door, it's your fault. In California, if
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: you catch a door, then it's probably the other driver's fault.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: But Texas lives by a different code than California. Yeah,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: and then finally, go ahead, rush.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: I was just say because if you didn't let them
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: split lanes and they just had to follow normal traffic
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: law mid the the backup would be insane, would it?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm? There's so many motorcycles, I mean.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I guess I guess there aren't is I guess there
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: aren't as many traffic or motorcycle related deaths on the
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: freeways in California. So they they guess it's okay, or
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: it's at least worth it from a statistical standpoint. It
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: just doesn't seem worth it to me from a safety
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: standpoint versus a traffic standpoint, to have lanes splitting be legal.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, the cars aren't really moving in California, right,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I mean during I mean like during your rush hour,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: like the morning rush hour, afternoon rush hour, but like
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: during the day, it's pretty pretty decent, but not.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: When traffic is stopped. If I'm a motorcyclist going between lanes,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: That's when I'd be most worried, because what if someone's
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: been sitting in that car for forty five minutes, an hour,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: two hours, three hours, and right as I'm going by
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: is when they decide to get out of the car
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: and go take a leak on the side of the road.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: And that's when I eat their door. It's fair and
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: then and then finally tray. This one's for you if
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: you have a complicated relationship with your mother. Here is
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: a new idea. A man donated his mom's body to science,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: but the military used it for an explosion test. Trey
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: is now thinking about and fantasizing about all the possibilities
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: of what to do with his mom when she passes.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, she has to pass first.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: That changes things a bit. Yeah, for it to be legal. Yes,
