  Speaker 2: That was very nice. It's just it's just a tremor.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It's not a big deal.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: So that's what they said in six. Sorry, I should
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: probably be more specific now now that there's been a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six. That's what they said, and I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: believe it was nineteen oh six San Francisco.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's just a tremmor in my hand. It's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: all good. It kind of it goes away with the medication,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: so it's not that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Well again, you let us know if you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: need anything we'll do in the meantime. I would actually
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: like to start the show on a sorry, Raja, if
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this is hitting too close to home, but I want
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to start the show on a good foot.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It hasn't gone to the leg just yet yet a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah, uh, all.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Right, here we go.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: It is time for wrong answers only here and only
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: here inside the treehouse today on wrong Answers only. A
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: thirty five year old man was arrested in New Hampshire
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: for walking around naked. His name is blank. His name
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: is blank, Trey Raj. A thirty five year old man
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: was arrested for walking around naked in New Hampshire. His
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: name is Blank. I will need your wrong answers only, Trey.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Let's start with you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Uh, Dingus mcding dingle dong.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to just go home right now
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: because that's his name was not Dingus mcdingle dung, But
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: now I really wish it was. So since that is
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the wrong answer, that is the correct answer here and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: wrong answers only, Raj, it is up to you to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: see if you can make it two for two on
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Wrong Answers Only. A thirty five year old man was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: arrested in New Hampshire for walking around naked. His name is.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Willie Butts.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: That is a wrong answer, which makes it a correct
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: answer here inside Wrong Answers Only. Good job you two.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: A thirty five year old naked man who was walking
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: down the highway was arrested in New Hampshire and his
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: last name is Wiener. So while you guys were kind
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of close, especially you Trey, you went a fancier on
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: his actual name, but still means you won Wrong Answers Only,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: so you know, good job. So that's not the whole story.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: There's a I have a few more pieces. I have
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a few more inches of story for you. So this
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: thirty five year old man in New Hampshire was arrested
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, and he had himself quite the Sunday afternoon.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: He first allegedly stole a car, then caused an accident
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on the highway. He sustained minor injuries but otherwise okay physically.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: His mental state, though, might be a little more in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: question because after the crash, the man took off all
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of his clothing, abandoned the clothes on the shoulder of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the highway, walked across the highway and left the scene
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of the accident. Multiple drivers called the police after dodging him,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: spice of them to dodge him. Police found the man
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: wandering down the highway and they were pretty sure it
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was him because he was still completely naked. The man
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was identified as Sean Wiener. So naked man highway causing
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: an accident names Wiener. Yeah, uh, Wiener was charged. I'd
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like to point out I'm about to read a really,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: really fun sentence. This is the benefit of going through
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the news every single day. You get to read things
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like this. Wiener was charged with indecent exposure and lewdness,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: reckless conduct, disorderly conduct, and littering. Please don't ask me
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: what he threw on the ground. I don't want to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: find out.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm assuming the close was it littering?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: It could be.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I hope that. I hope that's it. I hope it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't anything else. Uh that why the way? That that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: by the way, that's just the aftermath of the crash.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: There were are going to be separate charges for theft
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and the car crash. Both of which are still technically
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: under investigation. The other stuff, they're all pretty sure he did.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: If he could could have picked up his own trash,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: then that would have been impressive though.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: But Wiener, stop traffic.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: That's not bad, probably because he is picking up trash.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit here, a little bit there. We
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: picked this up with this in my bag. Yeah, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but get all this trash.
• 6:40

• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I'm Daniel Mallley along with Trade Trenholm and Raj Sharma
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: here on Thursday March thirteenth, twoenty twenty five, on the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: heels of a man the last name Wiener being arrested
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for walking down a naked walking down, naked walking naked down.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: There you go, walking naked down a New Hamphire highway.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I think we need to tread into something a little
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: more serious, while at the same time making sure we
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: keep our feet firmly planted in our lane of stupid. Okay,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about is this. Southwest Airlines is making
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a major policy change. Checked bags on Southwest Airlines will
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: no longer be free, one of the benchmarks of Southwest Airlines,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: one of the main features to flying Southwest Airlines bags
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: fly free. I can still see the commercials in my
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: head Southwest Airlines bags fly free. Well, Southwest Airlines has
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: decided to look all their customers in the face and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: go few no more bags fly free. And I gotta
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: admit I'm a little surprised by this. No, no, go ahead, go.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Ahead, No, I think it was They said it was
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: like a downturn in traveling and downturn in the economy
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: that had to make them start charging.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: They're not the only ones this is, I believe the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: third airline that I've seen over the last week starting
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to talk about baggage fees now, obviously just about all
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the other airlines charged for them already. Southwest was the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: stand alone when it came to not doing so that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: now they're joining the frey. The other airlines were talking
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: about changing their bag policies to mirror those of Europe,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: meaning the bag, the carrying on bag would be the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: dimensions that Europe goes by, not just the American standards.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So that was a bit of a change. But Southwest
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: coming out and announcing that bags are no longer going
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to fly free is a huge, huge policy shift. And
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: they did this even though they had a third party
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: group do research for them on this policy and whether
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: or not to reverse it, and the recommendation of that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: study was this is a huge thing for your customers,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: don't do it. What did they do? They decided to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: change it anyway. And the reason why it looks like
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: money shocker greed, Well, go ahead, Drey.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: You have to remember that last year there was an
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: investment group, I don't know if it was a hedge
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: fund or not, but some kind of big money portfolio
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: that basically bought a major interest in Southwest and has
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: a seat on the board now and so you you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: when that happens, you have different priorities.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called we don't care anymore about the customer.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: We only care about the stockholders now, which is an
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: unfortunate shift that I've seen in companies throughout the country.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And this is one of those things that makes me
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: sad on a human level, because we no longer care
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: about customers and the product that were supposedly selling or
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the service we're providing. Instead, we're more concerned about stock
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: price and shareholders than we are customers or their products
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and services that we offer.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: I think also with Southwest, they they have had a
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: rough couple of years as far as you know, where
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: they rank on efficiency and on time, a bunch of
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: flight delays power, you know, their computer system is arcane,
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: and so I think that had a you know, I
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: read something so that had an effect on how many
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: people are flying Southwest And they were the last one
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: to not charge for baggage, and I think you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: they were like, well everyone else is doing it, and
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: you know, ultimately they're probably right that although there will
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: be at a backlash, you know, sooner or later, people
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: will forget about it, and they'll still fly Southwest.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So this is one of the great things that I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: see with corporate decision making and corporate decision makers on
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you know, from large companies. It's everything you just said, Trey.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It's worried about the investment group that now has a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: seat on the board. And what really stood out to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: me was Southwest had an issue with service, with arrival
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: times and all these other things surrounding the airline, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: what is their response to that, Let's start charging for
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: bags instead of doing things publicly to fix the problems
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: at hand. Instead, you decide to bitch slap your customers
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: by saying your bags no longer fly free, because if
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get you there late, if at all, then
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: we feel like we should take more money out of
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: your pocket for it. You're welcome. And the other thing
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that Trey said, which is also true, most of us
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: as customers will probably still fly Southwest despite it, because
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like voting. It really does kind of
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: come down to picking the lesser of whatever evil.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: But I think they if I read the story or
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: heard the story correctly, the first class passengers or whatever
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: their elite passengers, I think they don't have to pay
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: for the banks. Is that correct that?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but and Trey is right, So it
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: has everything to do with money. Southwest lowered its revenue
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: outlook for the first quarter the other day, along with
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Delta and American Airlines, citing softness and demand amid a
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: weakening macro environment, but then in a separate announcement, set
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: out changes to boost revenue growth, most notably by ending
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: its free bag policy. Okay, investors may be welcoming the change,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: but it's not without risks. In fact, Southwest research last
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: year concluded that the financial impact of customers opting to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: fly with competitors would outweigh any increase from fee. The
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: CEO revealed in September that the airline commissioned a third
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: party to do a study to understand the financial trade
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: offs of keeping or changing our bags fly free policy.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: The results, according to him, said, our policy not only
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: provides customer value and generates and during loyalty, the policy
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: also generates significant shareholder value and their significant customer and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: financial risk to eliminating or changing the policy. And then
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: they changed it anyway.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: And you know the thing about it is, if they
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: really do get a backlash, they'll probably reverse themselves.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: They might, but then some of the damage is going
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: to be done, and then some other people might go
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: try some other airlines. Okay, yeah, they'll probably still come back,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: but still, for a while, in our hearts and minds
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: it was Southwest bags fly free. But unless they reverse
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: course on this bag policy, the new ad campaign and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the court of public opinion is going to be Southwest.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: You.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I've never once considered baggage fees what I'm booking
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: an airline, so I just.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I don't either because honestly, whenever I've tried to book
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a Southwest flight, I don't because even though my carry
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: on bag would fly free, it's still two or three
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars cheaper to take a different airline. That's why
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I typically go with somebody else. And also because I
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: don't like the airline coming right out and going you
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: unless it's Spirit that I'm used to, they put that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: on the wing.

• 18:19
  Speaker 1: right there, all right back inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Raj, you
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: said that for Southwest Airlines new bags don't fly free policy,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: they will still fly free for their elite members. Yeah,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to guess that that's going to be limited
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: or until they don't. It wouldn't surprise me if they
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: eventually make the elite people pay for the pay for
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the bags, or the fact that it's possible that the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: elite members already pay for it, they just don't get
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: charged for it, right.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the fair is way higher than
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: just the regular standard fair. Yes, so yeah, that's where
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: they're getting them. So what do you mean it's like
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: the standard fair, the business fair is much higher.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: That's where they're getting Southwest doesn't have a business fair
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: or first class fair. It's an early membership is just
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: you fly Southwest a lot oh miles?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I thought that was maybe a higher fair.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Now they don't have any first class. It's all one
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: one class of seating HM economy. I haven't flown them
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: since college, so I have no idea.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, like, the last time I flew
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines regularly was between Dallas and Tulsa, so between
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: my mom and my dad when they would shuttle me
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: back and forth on Southwest, or the occasional Southwest charter
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: flight that would be on a puddle jumper. But I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: got the minor flying situation with a Southwest Airlines, so
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: at some point I was probably eat as well as
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a passenger, not as a child, especially if I'm being
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: shuttled back for.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: They know you take him?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Do you take it? This week?
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: And not only but the parents got miles out of it,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: so maybe it worked out for everybody. All right, did
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: you guys see the big news surrounding the Texas Rangers
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: this week? It has nothing to do with spring training,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the picture Jacob de Grom
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: looking like he's back into a regular form. Oh no,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: none of that it's the new Texas Rangers baseball hat
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: design which featured vulgar Spanish slang, and it's been pulled
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: from the online store. It really seems it really seems
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: like a horse race between all the North Texas sports
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: teams and how stupid they can all be.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I did see this. It's the Overlap fifty one of
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the fifty fifty or whatever it is, and the other
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: new hat design.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the newly released New Era Overlap fifty nine fifty
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: collection featured cat for each of the thirty teams in
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. The specific design for that collection features
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the team's logo stitched over the team name in a
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: fused design. The Rangers cap, though, included their signature block
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: capital T right over the X in Texas. Shortly after
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it went up for sale online, the cap went viral
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: on social media because users were quick to notice that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the way the letters were sewn on accidentally spelled out
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: of vulgarity and Spanish, more specifically a slaying Spanish term
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for a woman's breasts. The cap has since been removed
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: from fanatics website and is no longer for sale. This
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: makes me sad because I really feel like they missed
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a huge opportunity here. I even saw people point this
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: out online on social media. All they gotta do is
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: change the color of the hat to pink sell it
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: in October for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Problem solved and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: not only problems solved, but now you've taken a negative
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and turned it into a positive, something that typically only
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: boobs can do. Also, who doesn't want a hat who
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: was with your team name on it? That is basically
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Spanish for moobies.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I would wear that everywhere?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Yes you would, Yes you would. Oh.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Now now that again.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I want to point out this is not a Ranger
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: specific thing. This is something that they did for all
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the major league teams. It just happened to be the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Texas Rangers one that stood out as if it was
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: surgically enhanced because it was because no one cares about
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the other teams. Those didn't spell out anything interesting, I
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: mean not since the early nineties when the Chicago White
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Sox changed their logo to the black and white where
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it said socks at an angle and if you could,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: if you would take a sharpie and just darken out
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: one little section of that, oh on the socks, what
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: did it spell?
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Mm? Hmm.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I know because when that hat came out, the team
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I played on Intellect Baseball was the White Socks. Guess
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: what all of us did to our hats as soon as.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: We learned about it.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: When I saw the Rangers hat, that's the first thing
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I saw. I was like, Oh, that's not that's not good.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, clearly there were no Hispanic people on
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the design team they did this, or maybe there was
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: and he was just having a good time.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's it right there. I think
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: there was. I think there was someone on there that
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: either spoke Spanish or uh well obviously spoke Spanish, was
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Latin him or herself, and thought, you know what, I'm
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: just gonna let this go. You know why, because because
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: they're they're telling me, ay I is going to take
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: my job anyways, So here we go. Let's slide this
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: one through QC approved.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Nobody in production when they were making the hats saw this.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Well, it was on line only, so I'm not even
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: sure if the hats had actually gone into production yet.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: It's possible that they were just online. People would order
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and then the production ful film that would happen, and
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: then they'd go through an actual machine, and of course
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the machine's not gonna stop it, because even the machine's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: gonna giggle when it sees it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: If they were smart, they all bought some and then
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: now with their band, they'll sell them for triple the
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: price that's.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Right on the black market. I just give them credit,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: uh for having an accidental genius idea, because I mean,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: having the Spanish vulgar word for breath on a Texas
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Rangers hat is awesome And ironically that kind of hat
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: would turn a lot of heads, just like, just like
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: real boobs do.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Want one?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the more I see the story, the more I've
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: heard about it, I'm like, man, I really want one
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of those hats?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Do you have to buy one? Or do you get two?
• 25:08

• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Back inside of the Treehouse Today, Thursday, March thirteenth, twenty
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: twenty five. We were just talking about the Texas Rangers
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: baseball team new hats that are not going to be
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: made available because it had a Spanish vulgar word for
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: boobies on it. Accident, they say, But Raji said, this
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: is not the first controversy. This is not the first
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Spanish language controversy to hit the public.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: In the eighties there was a chain of Mexican restaurants
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: when the big crazy Mexican food boom happened. It's called
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: chee cheese.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, che cheese.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I love chee cheese. Love the che cheese, so do I.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Why were they in trouble?
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: It's also a slang Mexican slang term for boots.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Oh so what I just said, I love the chee cheese.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you stand by the statement, yeah, that
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: is why. But you can't look at your wife and like, hey,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I just ordered us some che cheese.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I really do remember chechese. I remember eating a che
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: cheese and Tulsa.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Actually it Uh they didn't change the name. Oh I
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: thought they did.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: They lean into it, please God, did they lean into
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: it so hard they motorboated it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: They had over two hundred had over two hundred locations
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: and then uh, someone got hepatitis and that of course.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: That it was dirty che cheese.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, disease cheese.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: No one want dirty che cheese. By the way, that's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: gonna make a good episode title.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Oh Uh.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: This is one of those stories that is so important.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I think instead of me screwing it up, I think
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: it's better that we allow the actual news team to.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: To share it.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: So let me see. I can pull this up for
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you real quick here. Nope, nope, not that you go
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to this. Let me try that here, and that's not working.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Smooth.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: So let's go to Memphis and Fox thirteen's Daniel Wilkerson
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to deliver this very important breaking news from the other.
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: Day, Breaking News twenty four. We want to get you
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: to some breaking news just out of our newsroom here
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: at Fox thirteen. A man is in the hospital after
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: being shot in the leg overnight. If the police say
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: he was shot by his dog. Seriously, this is.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: The greatest thing I've ever seen.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: The pause, ironically, the pause from mister Wilkerson here the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: anchor is a true thing of beauty. I don't know,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: because with breaking news and news anchors, a lot of
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: times you don't get the chance to read the copy
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: before it hits the teleprompter. If it's happening that quickly
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and you're already in the middle of a live news
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a live newscast, you may not
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: have the chance to preread this. So he may be
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: seeing this legitimately for the first time, thinking this can't
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: be real. This has to be a mistake. This is
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: probably the producer messing with me because because I ate
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: there tuna sandwich out of the breakroom fridge the other
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: day kind of a thing. So he's in disbelief, which
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I love. I loved shocked TV anchors.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: He's breaking news twenty four. We want to get you
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: to some breaking news just out of our newsroom here
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: at Fox thirteen. A man is in the hospital after
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: being shot in the leg overnight. If the police say
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: he was shot by his dog, seriously, I don't think
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: that's right. This happened just before four am at a
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: home on Whitney Avenue in Fraser Wow. Police say the
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: man was lying in the bed with a girl with
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: a gun on the bed. Police say his dog jumped
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: up on the bed, got his paul stuck in the trigger,
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: and ended up hitting the trigger, shooting the man in
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: the thigh. Wow. He is expected to be okay. I thought,
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: surely that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Was a.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Not only is this a fantastic story on its own,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: but the graphic that Fox thirteen throws up on the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: screen as Daniel Wilkerson is delivering this breaking news is
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: fascinating to me. According to the Memphis police report, while
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: relaxing slash talking, the victim's dog jumped on the bed
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and got his paws stuck in the trigger. So again,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the man was shot while he was in bed with
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a young lady around four am, and according to the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: police report, he said they were relaxing, slash talking and
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: that's when the dog jumped on the bed. Trey Raj
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: we're all dog owners. Whenever you've been in bed with
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: with a young lady, has the dog ever jumped on
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the bed when you weren't doing something? Or is it
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: more likely that the dog decides to jump into bed
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: with you because of some other activity that is going
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: on that it thinks it wants right in the middle of.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: That's what kennels are for. So yeah, that's why I
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: also don't own guns.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's a surefire way to turn a twosome
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: into a threesome.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, that guy will have no street cred anymore because, yeah,
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: the bitch shot him, but it wasn't a dog.
• 32:09

• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you have more to add to the the dog allegedly
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: shooting its owner while in bed with a lady.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's gotta be one scary bitch because
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: you're so scared she shot you and you're so scared
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: you're gonna blame it on the dog because because you know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: you know you're gonna get out of the hospital and
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: she's waiting for you.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: But you better tell them it was the damn dog.
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: I will miss next time, right, next time, it won't
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: be in the thigh. Yeah, you tell you tell that
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: popo that it uh, it wasn't me.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: You tell him, you tell him it was uh, tell
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: him it was that dog. And that's for letting the
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: dog in the room in the first place. You're right, though, Trey,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: that when the police shove and say, all right, sir,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: what happened, Well, he's blinking all over the place, like
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: trying to signal in some way that he's in trouble.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: It's like it was it was the dog. It jumped
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: on the bed and the trigger as he's nodding his
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: head at at the lady, lady as the bang like
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: he holds his hand up so she can't see it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: He makes the finger gun thing like towards her. The
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: dog did it, I swear, Okay, So the dog did it?
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Their god helpless just embarrassing. All right, Well, let's jump
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: into something serious.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Well, why don't we.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Today is Thursday, March thirteenth, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: what's some birthdays. American professional golfer Coco Golf is twenty
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: one gau Ff, so there's no L in that, but
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: still a pretty appropriate surname for a professional golfer, Coco Golf.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe she pronounces it golf, but I hope not because
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: that'd be dumb. Anyway, professional golfer at the age of
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: twenty one, not that twenty one years old, already a
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: professional golfer.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: Pretty impress I think she's been a professional for a
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: couple of years.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm envious because I seriously, if you could choose,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: if you could choose to be a professional athlete in
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: any sport, what would it be?
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Hmmm?
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: And maybe I should throw in the qualification no guarantee
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: of enormous success, but a professional athlete in your sport
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: of choice, what would it be?
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I always wanted football for me, like that's what I
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: wanted to do. That was my dream to be the
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: first Indian football player in the NFL.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Today and dreaming with Raj would have been happening someday.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I feel like this has there not been. This is
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: going to sound a little little racial. Has there not
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: been a scene in the NFL? I feel like there has? Okay,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: well my.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Bad we uh we we we claimed u t J.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Houshman Zada. We claimed him.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Oh okay.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Iran well half Irani and half black. So we still
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: like that's the closest we're gonna get.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: It's more of a regional claim.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I think the kicker at Rutgers is Indian. I think
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: it's name J. Pattail So fingers crossing. Then yeah, maybe
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: gets drafted. We get, of course, we get the kicker like, no,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: that's all we get.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: No, I mean that's he's at Rutgers.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Come on, that's actually Raja could be worse. He could
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: just be the placeholder's more ways than one.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Well done, well done.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: Uh but Dan, to answer your question, I I if
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: you're gonna have to get your tour to your PGA
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: to work hard golf, absolutely way to go. Because even
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: all you got to do is make the cut, and
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: you're making six figures.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Yep, and that doesn't even include your endorsement dollars. That's
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: just tour cash. I think I'm with you on that
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: tray because when I start thinking about a possible answer
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: in the big picture, I think golf makes the most
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: sense because the question I asked was, if you could
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: be a professional athlete in any sport without any guarantee
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: of success, which would it be. I think I would
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: go with golf because it's the one that I'm least
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: likely to get injured. Because Raz you said football, While
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: it's great to have dreams to be the first Indian
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: American National Football League player, you can get hurt in
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the blink of an eye and it'd be a crushing,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: crushing pain and injury that could end you your career.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Golf very low likelihood of being injured to where it
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: takes you out of playing, and it's a relaxing day.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: You're a professional athlete. You get to go out, go
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: for a walk for three to four hours with your buddies,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: hang out, play some golf, right and you get paid
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: for it. Baseball is a great sport, but it's one
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games a year plus bring training.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a grind. That is a grind, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I love baseball. I would probably still go with the
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: golf side because we're just gonna go play golf for
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: a few days.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: I mean yeah, it would be between an F one
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: driver and golf.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, you could not have picked two more diametrically
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: opposed sports to fantasize about becoming a professional athlete. And
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: because golf there is no Because in golf there is
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a guarantee you are not going to get hurt doing that.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: As an F one driver, the odds of you getting
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: hurt are astronomically high.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: They're not really, I mean not that high. I mean,
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: you don't see that many like terrible accidents anymore. Those
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: cars are incredibly safe. What if you just took the
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: F one car from hole to hole?
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what the drivers actually do.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: See what happened there was when two minds think a
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: lot and occasionally cars.

  Speaker 1: inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: and Raj Sharma on Thursday, March thirteenth, twenty twenty five.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Just a little bit more here inside the show to
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: share with you. We were talking about which professional uh,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: which sport if we could be a professional athlete, which
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: sport would we want to do? And then we started
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: talking about baseball again because Raj was you were saying
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: about injuries and stuff. Oh, we were talking about Tiger Woods.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: You were saying that you can still injure yourself in
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: golf because look at Tiger Woods. Well, part of the
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: reason Tiger Woods got injured is because he was training
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: with Navy seals think and training more like a football
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: player than he was a golfer, and that set him
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: up for some serious physical failure. But Trey, you brought
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: up that even playing golf for a long time can
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: still wear you down.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're.
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: Putting so much torque on you know, your back, hips, knees,
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: ankles especially, you know when you swing as hard as
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: someone like Tiger Woods does that. I mean, you know
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: there are videos of him out driving long drive people
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: on his knees just from the torque he could put
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: from his upper body. So I mean, that's one of
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: the reasons why his body has just kind of fallen apart,
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: is when you swing that violently for that long, and
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: you know he's been doing it his whole life. So yeah,
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: his body is just and I mean his training regiment
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: was always just nuts.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: It's crazy because here he was the most successful professional
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: athlete in the world and I don't even think I
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: don't even think that's up for debate. At the time
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: when he was at his peak, I don't think there
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: was anyone else playing any other sport at that time
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: at the level he was playing golf, and he overdid it.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: And that's something we see a lot in baseball these days,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: is you have so many of these pictures that can
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: and do regularly throw one hundred miles per hour. You know,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: when we were growing up, that was something rare. Now
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: pitchers do it regularly and not by accident because they
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: just happened to hit one hundred. Now they're doing it consistently.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: The problem with being able to throw like that is
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: your body can't sustain it very long. That's why I
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: look at some like say a Greg Maddox. It was
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite pitchers growing up, he consistently was
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: throwing heat in the upper eighties. I mean, there are
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: high school kids that were throwing heat harder than Greg Maddox.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: But he had a great long career because he wasn't
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: up there overthrowing. He wasn't trying to, you know, hit
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: a new high on the radar gun. He was just
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: pitching and spinning the ball, making a move and do things.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: But that was it was just a different time. I mean,
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: you're talking about bigger, faster, stronger. I mean, Nolan Ryan
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: considered one of the you know, great fastball and I
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: think at his peak it was like ninety five.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I'm prou I'm pretty sure he hit one hundred.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: One hundred was so rare.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: No, No, he didn't do it consistently, but I think
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: it was something that he did hit and maybe because
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: he overthrew. But you're right, most of the time when
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: he was with the Rangers, he's throwing mid to upper nineties,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: which isn't bad by any stretched the imagine.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: No, that was considered you know, blazing fast at the time. Now,
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: especially relief pitchers in baseball, they're all thrown over one hundred.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're all up there overthrowing, and they're they're
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: all having Tommy John surgery left and right, partly because
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: they're overdoing it.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's why, like, especially you pitchers, our age
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: had such had a shorter lifespan because you know, at
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: the time, they were throwing breaking stuff in you know,
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: in Little League, and they have.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Since I believe they have outlawed that. But uh, I
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: think all.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: The way up to high school year, they don't want
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: you throwing curveballs and breaking stuff because it's just if
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: you're still growing, it's just killing your joints.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Us As someone that did play baseball in that time frame,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: when I was when I started pitching, seriously, I was,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: you know, eleven twelve years old, in that range like
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: where you see all the Little League World Series. I
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: was one of those kids that they were teaching us
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: breaking balls. They were teaching us curveball sliders. I still
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: know like three or four different ways to throw an
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: effective curveball. And so I hope you're right, Tray, because
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: I think I've heard something about that where at a
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: certain age they are up to a certain age, they
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: don't allow you to throw that stuff anymore because it
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: is so bad for the human body, especially for a
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: body that's still growing. I'd still remember one of the
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: times I got hit by a pitch. It was with
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: a curveball. I still remember the spin on it and everything,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and so yeah, I think that's a great thing that
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: they should limit those types of pitches with kids because
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: of the damage that it can cause. And what is
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: it you said, Trey, Also, it's like they need to
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: limit that because, oh, because they're trying to protect their arm.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: I mean it's you the just the damage on your
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: elbow and shoulder when you're trying to throw breaking stuff,
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: especially your elbow.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: To a thirteen year old boy.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you shatter an elbow.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: And because you're just putting too much strain, Yeah, because
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: of baseball. Are we sure it's the baseball?
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: I was thinking the same thing. I was thirteen hurting
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: her elbow.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: That sounds about break.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's what herbald Daddy, it's added strain.
• 45:20
