0:57
Speaker 1: breaking news worthy. Trey, congratulations on your Longhorns on Saturday.
1:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, red River rival, which is one of the hardest
1:10
Speaker 2: phrases in the American language to say, but let's be honest,
1:14
Speaker 2: deep in our hearts, it's still the Red River shootout.
1:19
Speaker 1: What was the final tray? Thirty four to three?
1:21
Speaker 3: Yes, sir?
1:23
Speaker 1: What time is it right now? Trey? Or actually, since
1:26
Speaker 1: we're not time specific on this show for the most part,
1:30
Speaker 1: so what day is it today?
1:32
Speaker 4: It's Monday morning? I know YOUU still sucks.
1:39
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Longhorn faithful all around the world. They have
1:43
Speaker 1: a year of bragging rights.
1:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, and retain the number one spot. Yep, it's uh.
1:52
Speaker 4: We'll get tested this week when Georgia comes to Austin.
1:54
Speaker 1: A little bit.
1:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit, but uh, it's yeah.
2:02
Speaker 5: I I I've been on the hype train so many
2:05
Speaker 5: times and got run over by it that uh yeah,
2:08
Speaker 5: it's uh, I'm always a little bit a little bit scared.
2:11
Speaker 4: But they they're a damn good team.
2:14
Speaker 6: Yeah they look really good. Yeah, they look really good.
2:17
Speaker 1: Speaking of uh, breaking news and things that we follow
2:22
Speaker 1: here inside the Treehouse, uh, we do need to actually
2:26
Speaker 1: mention actual news stuff that happened leading up to the
2:29
Speaker 1: Red River rival in Dallas, and that is Uncle Milty,
2:37
Speaker 1: or as he's more officially known, Hurricane Milton, that at
2:40
Speaker 1: one point was a Category five storm in the Gulf
2:43
Speaker 1: of Mexico, sauntered its way into the Florida coast, and
2:47
Speaker 1: I believe it finally hit landfall late Wednesday night early
2:50
Speaker 1: Thursday morning as a category three storm, but it still
2:53
Speaker 1: did plenty of damage. I believe the exact act location
3:01
Speaker 1: of where it hit landfall was near Ceesta. Key barreled
3:06
Speaker 1: across Florida through Thursday before departing into the Atlantic Ocean
3:09
Speaker 1: by Friday. The hurricane brought heavy rain and winds, flooding
3:13
Speaker 1: cities and towns in its path and spurring several tornadoes
3:17
Speaker 1: across the state. We, of course in the Treehouse no
3:19
Speaker 1: several means seven and some of the most impressive things
3:27
Speaker 1: I saw coming out of Milton were the tornadoes. Lots
3:29
Speaker 1: of videos of tornadoes. One idiot, and keep in mind,
3:34
Speaker 1: living in a tornado alley for my entire life, I
3:36
Speaker 1: will go outside and video record or a tornado. I've
3:40
Speaker 1: done it my entire life. But I also know when
3:43
Speaker 1: to get inside. One lady recording really pushed that envelope
3:47
Speaker 1: because she was showing a tornado coming towards her house
3:50
Speaker 1: and she's outside on her back patio. As it gets closer,
3:54
Speaker 1: she finally de hides too, maybe I should go inside.
3:56
Speaker 1: She goes inside, and she stands right next to the
4:00
Speaker 1: slighting glass window and stays within inches of it as
4:04
Speaker 1: the tornado starts to hit her house. And then when
4:08
Speaker 1: some debris hits it and shatters that window, that's when
4:11
Speaker 1: she decides to go an extra ten feet into the
4:14
Speaker 1: interior of her home. Florida really is one of the
4:20
Speaker 1: stupidest states in our great nation, but it also has
4:24
Speaker 1: some saving grace moments and inside the Hurricane Milton situation,
4:31
Speaker 1: obviously a number of people died and lots of devastation.
4:34
Speaker 1: Over one point seven million customers without power, you also
4:39
Speaker 1: had twenty one hundred Florida gas stations had limited fuel.
4:43
Speaker 1: In the aftermath, several communities and organizations across the Florida
4:47
Speaker 1: had accelerated and amplified their efforts to assist those hardest
4:51
Speaker 1: hit by the storm. Some other interesting tidbits that came
4:55
Speaker 1: out of that storm was one of my favorite scenes,
4:58
Speaker 1: and that was a man in Tampa who strapped his
5:01
Speaker 1: entire house down hoping to keep his roof from flying off.
5:05
Speaker 1: And when I say strapped, I mean like tie down straps,
5:09
Speaker 1: like the ratchet straps that you get at home depot.
5:12
Speaker 1: That's what he used across his house. It looked what
5:14
Speaker 1: was it, Trey, I think there was like one too,
5:17
Speaker 1: like five or six across the house. He had him
5:21
Speaker 1: somehow fixed into his front yard on one end, strapped
5:26
Speaker 1: over the house like it's a mattress on thirty five
5:30
Speaker 1: that you're trying to keep from flying off, and I
5:33
Speaker 1: guess buckled into the dirt in the backyard behind his house.
5:36
Speaker 5: No, No, that's so when I first saw the story
5:39
Speaker 5: and saw the picture, I immediately am going, Okay, that's
5:43
Speaker 5: just a redneck in Florida. But no, he had poured
5:47
Speaker 5: basically concrete piers, so they were attacked, they were sunk
5:51
Speaker 5: in and attached to concrete. Like he spent over twenty
5:56
Speaker 5: two thousand on this little system.
6:01
Speaker 1: Twenty two thousand dollars huh, all to save a probably
6:07
Speaker 1: twenty two thousand dollars roof that I think going off
6:11
Speaker 1: he would have paid around one one and a half
6:13
Speaker 1: percent deductible to replace.
6:16
Speaker 5: Well, but you have all the stuff it gets ruined
6:18
Speaker 5: and okay, well there's that.
6:20
Speaker 6: Like twenty two thousand US dollars, but not like like
6:22
Speaker 6: Disneyland Bucks.
6:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that'll buy a lot of character breakfasts, a lot.
6:31
Speaker 6: Of frozen bananas.
6:32
Speaker 3: There.
6:34
Speaker 6: Did it work?
6:36
Speaker 1: I think you did. I think the roof survived Hurricane Milton.
6:40
Speaker 1: So look, I think what we've learned here is there's
6:42
Speaker 1: a fine line between redneck idiocy and redneck ingenuity. I mean, really,
6:48
Speaker 1: the only difference is whether or not it worked.
6:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's yeah, But you know, you know.
6:56
Speaker 5: There's going to be some hay seeds in Texas to
6:58
Speaker 5: try to do this with their mobile home.
7:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look those things like I lived in a
7:08
Speaker 1: trailer for for nine ten months. It was a nice one,
7:11
Speaker 1: but they're not the strongest made things. That's why they're
7:16
Speaker 1: so affordable.
7:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, and attached to the broken down chevies in
7:22
Speaker 5: the front and back of the you know that's it's
7:24
Speaker 5: it's not gonna be enough.
7:25
Speaker 1: No, that's why. Yeah, that's why. When when I lived
7:28
Speaker 1: in the trailer for nine ten months, what I made
7:30
Speaker 1: sure to do is what uh, you know, at the
7:32
Speaker 1: threat of a storm, I made sure to strap it
7:35
Speaker 1: down and attach it to various commodes around the trailer,
7:41
Speaker 1: so that way I knew for sure if it was
7:44
Speaker 1: gonna fly away, it was gonna sound like a really
7:46
Speaker 1: jacked up wind chime.
7:50
Speaker 6: I thought you were gonna say, like you hid under that.
7:52
Speaker 6: Isn't that a thing where you hide under the It's
7:55
Speaker 6: not a trailer anymore. It's modular home, I believe, is
7:57
Speaker 6: what they call it. Now. Well, those are two different things,
8:00
Speaker 6: Oh are they really?
8:01
Speaker 7: Yeah?
8:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, modular home is something that you know, it gets
8:04
Speaker 1: brought to your home and kind of unfolded or put
8:06
Speaker 1: together when it's there, like you like a table for
8:08
Speaker 1: my kiya.
8:11
Speaker 6: When you're ordering your modular home, where you're like, I'll
8:14
Speaker 6: have the fy.
8:18
Speaker 1: Look. If you want to step up from mobile home,
8:21
Speaker 1: get you a house that you have to unpack out

10:27
Speaker 1: All right, So we mentioned the death and devastation that
10:30
Speaker 1: came out of Hurricane Milton hitting Florida late last week,
10:34
Speaker 1: But there were some other spots and stories surrounding the
10:38
Speaker 1: storm that were interesting and things I wanted to share
10:40
Speaker 1: with you guys. This this this fine Monday, uh. And
10:44
Speaker 1: that was since the hurricane was named Milton last week,
10:48
Speaker 1: we talked about, Look, if you want people to respect
10:50
Speaker 1: the danger of a storm, you need to give it
10:52
Speaker 1: a more dangerous sounding name. If you're gonna if you're
10:56
Speaker 1: gonna name it after my great uncle Milford, which is
11:00
Speaker 1: what I think of when I heard hurricane Milton. I'm
11:03
Speaker 1: not scared of that. That's the quiet dude that had
11:05
Speaker 1: no other option. And since he had no other option
11:08
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, Texas, he married my great grandmother Glick, and
11:11
Speaker 1: he spent the rest of his life pissing his pants
11:13
Speaker 1: in his chair. That made him sit up when he
11:15
Speaker 1: didn't even want to. Whereas if you gave that hurricane
11:19
Speaker 1: a different name, people will be like, I'm not gonna
11:21
Speaker 1: wait around and ride this thing out. Because Trey had
11:23
Speaker 1: the great suggestion of naming.
11:24
Speaker 4: It what Marcellus Wallace.
11:27
Speaker 1: You will get the f out of Florida if there's
11:29
Speaker 1: a hurricane coming at you named Marcellus Wallace. But some
11:33
Speaker 1: people took the name and stride people that when they
11:36
Speaker 1: bought up their windows. They always show people on the
11:39
Speaker 1: news they're boarding of windows with wooden things, and then
11:41
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll put messages on those pieces of wood. A
11:44
Speaker 1: lot of people were keeping their sense of humor about
11:46
Speaker 1: it by referencing the famous character Milton from Office Space
11:50
Speaker 1: and spray painted notes saying Milton, we don't have your stapler.
11:53
Speaker 1: Go away, Milton, Please don't burn down the building. Type
11:58
Speaker 1: of stuff, which is great. In addition to the guy
12:01
Speaker 1: who strapped down his entire house and it worked, there
12:04
Speaker 1: were some other interesting stories coming out of the storm,
12:07
Speaker 1: and that was did you guys hear about the guy
12:10
Speaker 1: they referred to as Lieutenant Dan ahead of Milton. Yes,
12:14
Speaker 1: so there was a guy who swore he was not evacuating,
12:17
Speaker 1: he was not leaving, he was gonna ride out Milton
12:20
Speaker 1: in his boat, and the local authorities nicknamed him Lieutenant Dan.
12:24
Speaker 1: Good news is Lieutenant Dan is alive. People were worried
12:28
Speaker 1: about him after the storm went through, the authorities and
12:30
Speaker 1: news crews went to check on him. He's a okay.
12:33
Speaker 1: It probably helped that Milton turned south instead of hitting
12:36
Speaker 1: Tampa directly, Otherwise I don't think Lieutenant Dan would have
12:40
Speaker 1: won that battle. And then there was also when you
12:46
Speaker 1: have all the reporters in the field, interesting things get
12:51
Speaker 1: set up to happen. Like a guy from the Weather
12:53
Speaker 1: channel is doing a report during some of the heavy
12:56
Speaker 1: rains of the storm and he's standing in someone's yard
12:59
Speaker 1: and I and at the time he's doing his live report,
13:02
Speaker 1: the sprinklers in the yard turn on. Because sometimes when
13:07
Speaker 1: you're evacuating, you forget to turn off the automatic settings
13:11
Speaker 1: on things like your sprinklers. And this is one of
13:17
Speaker 1: my favorites. The BBC has a weather app and during
13:24
Speaker 1: during Hurricane Milton, they had a really bad glitch and
13:28
Speaker 1: hurricane force wind alerts popped up for cities all over
13:32
Speaker 1: the world. In London, according to BBC's weather app, they
13:37
Speaker 1: had hurricane force winds measuring thirteen thousand miles an hour.
13:50
Speaker 6: The new premise for London has fallen too.
13:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, London has been blown away.
13:56
Speaker 5: That number is so big you can't even get it
13:58
Speaker 5: confused between you know, miles and kalum.
14:00
Speaker 4: And there was some conversion.
14:02
Speaker 1: Yeah either way, that's bad. And then so I mentioned,
14:07
Speaker 1: you know the uh, the Weather Channel reporter having the
14:11
Speaker 1: sprinklers go off in the background, where well, there are
14:14
Speaker 1: also some very famous people that go to cover these storms,
14:18
Speaker 1: one of which is Anderson Cooper. And he put himself
14:21
Speaker 1: and right in the line of fire with Hurricane Milton,
14:25
Speaker 1: so much so that I wanted to share this with you.
14:27
Speaker 1: This is Live on CNN with Anderson Cooper and the
14:31
Speaker 1: water I was really starting to pour over if you
14:33
Speaker 1: look at the ground.
14:34
Speaker 4: Woo.
14:35
Speaker 1: Okay, So in the middle of his life, shut Anderson
14:41
Speaker 1: Cooper gets smacked in the face by some debris. Although
14:44
Speaker 1: I say that debris doesn't look that dangerous. It just
14:47
Speaker 1: looks like the top of a styrofoam cooler.
14:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, but at seventy five miles an hour, that's gonna hurt.
14:55
Speaker 1: He was fine. Clearly, he's used to taking things on
14:59
Speaker 1: his face. He's a pro and not to be outdone
15:12
Speaker 1: by Anderson Cooper. There was a local Florida newsman who
15:16
Speaker 1: was doing his live shot in the aftermath of Milton,
15:19
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm gonna let them take it away. This
15:22
Speaker 1: is from click Orlando dot Com talking about in the
15:26
Speaker 1: aftermath of Milton, it's important for people to keep their
15:30
Speaker 1: senses of humor from those.
15:33
Speaker 9: Who are hurricane veterans. They know the drill and they've
15:36
Speaker 9: roughed it up before, and they think it all.
15:38
Speaker 1: On the chin.
15:39
Speaker 9: New six is done in my refound. A couple of
15:41
Speaker 9: those gentlemen out on Edgewater Drive in College Park. Basically
15:46
Speaker 9: after Milton, people get out and they start doing some things.
15:48
Speaker 9: I ran into these two guys who are fishing. Except
15:50
Speaker 9: but before we even talk to them, there's one problem.
15:53
Speaker 9: If destiny zooms out a little bit, we're fishing in
15:57
Speaker 9: the middle of the road. We are on Edgeword Avenue
16:00
Speaker 9: in College Park. Dude, you got a fish. You I
16:03
Speaker 9: saw you. You just caught that fish.
16:05
Speaker 1: And I'd like to point out that that fish is
16:07
Speaker 1: a really big It looks like a bass. That's that's
16:10
Speaker 1: like what Trey would you say, five to eight pound
16:13
Speaker 1: fish that he caught in the middle of the flooded street.
16:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say, yeah, and here was five pounds.
16:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a that is an impressive hall. However,
16:22
Speaker 1: this is Florida, and Florida doesn't do anything half assed.
16:25
Speaker 1: So when you're a reporter covering hurricane damage in Florida
16:29
Speaker 1: and you find two guys fishing in the middle of
16:31
Speaker 1: the road, you probably think this may be the most
16:34
Speaker 1: Florida thing I've ever seen. Right wrong, Just wait for more.
16:38
Speaker 6: I did right in the tree. Honestly, it's traditional Hurricane Yan,
16:42
Speaker 6: same exact thing.
16:43
Speaker 9: Heavens because this road floods all the time, and we
16:47
Speaker 9: were down here when Ian flood trooper Steve came down here.
16:50
Speaker 9: So you basically and there's a guy coming behind us
16:53
Speaker 9: in a lawnmower, isn't.
16:54
Speaker 1: That No, that's Florida.
16:58
Speaker 9: Oh, we've got people fishing in the road. We've got
17:01
Speaker 9: a guy on a lawnmower. You're doing all right, He's
17:08
Speaker 9: doing all right. Yeah, So we've got people fishing in
17:12
Speaker 9: the middle of the road. I got a lawnmower in
17:15
Speaker 9: the middle of the road.
17:16
Speaker 6: And so, like you.
17:16
Speaker 4: Said, I love that he's leaning back.
17:24
Speaker 1: I don't think I could ever see something more Florida
17:27
Speaker 1: in one news report happening At the same time, he's
17:32
Speaker 1: just riding his skag riding lawnmower right down the flooded street.
17:35
Speaker 1: What is he mowing or is he just using it
17:38
Speaker 1: to get from point A to point B? I have
17:39
Speaker 1: no idea. I have so many questions.
17:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's just if you want to sum up Florida
17:47
Speaker 6: fishing in the street and then uh pimping in your
17:51
Speaker 6: in your lawnmower.
17:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just missing an alligator in a waffle house,
17:55
Speaker 5: and that shot would be complete.

Speaker 1: best Haunted House thirty six years running Hangman's House of
19:59
Speaker 1: Horrors for worth hangmans dot com. Trey, I congratulate you
20:05
Speaker 1: once again that you are eight years sober. You have
20:11
Speaker 1: not had any alcohol in eight years, and that's a
20:15
Speaker 1: huge achievement, and I congratulate you. I did notice two
20:19
Speaker 1: things over the weeknd. One was I was at a
20:22
Speaker 1: spot getting some breakfast and some booze. They call it brunch,
20:26
Speaker 1: and I thought of you because a guy came up.
20:30
Speaker 1: I guess he was a supplier for this place where
20:32
Speaker 1: my wife and I were hanging out, and she's like, hey,
20:35
Speaker 1: we have this. I'm sorry, back up, he tells the owner.
20:38
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, guess what. I'm sober. I've been sober
20:41
Speaker 1: for three months now. And she's like, oh my god.
20:43
Speaker 1: Really and he says yes, And then she asks him
20:45
Speaker 1: three or four more times really like really really? He
20:49
Speaker 1: says yes. I feel great, my life is better. I've
20:52
Speaker 1: kicked my alcoholism alcoholism addiction. I feel wonderful. And then
20:58
Speaker 1: she says, hey, we got this rose a special. Do
21:00
Speaker 1: you want to try some. I don't know if she
21:02
Speaker 1: did it out of habit or she just really didn't
21:04
Speaker 1: believe him, but that's got to be an interesting twist.
21:07
Speaker 1: As someone who's been sober for eight years, people won
21:11
Speaker 1: asking multiple times, really are you really sober and then
21:15
Speaker 1: offering you booze.
21:18
Speaker 5: I mean I got that question quite a bit in
21:21
Speaker 5: my first year, and rightfully so, after drinking every day
21:25
Speaker 5: for twenty five years, I could understand that it was
21:30
Speaker 5: a shock to a lot of people. And then yeah,
21:35
Speaker 5: sometimes you'll get the person who just doesn't process it
21:40
Speaker 5: or associates like they think, oh, okaye sober, but you know,
21:50
Speaker 5: yeah a rose, well that doesn't count, or yeah it's yeah,
21:56
Speaker 5: it's like I said, yeah, I had a barton one
22:00
Speaker 5: time asked me it's like, you know, well, can't you
22:04
Speaker 5: just just have one? And I was like, if I
22:07
Speaker 5: could have one, I wouldn't be an alcoholic.
22:12
Speaker 1: It's interesting how people It's interesting how people always challenge
22:15
Speaker 1: these things. Also, like I've seen this with vegetarians before,
22:18
Speaker 1: when someone says I'm a vegetarian and the person they're
22:21
Speaker 1: telling this too says, do you eat fish? No, they
22:23
Speaker 1: just said they're a vegetarian if they eat fish and
22:26
Speaker 1: fish only, then it's pescatarian. It's like everyone can't understand why.
22:30
Speaker 1: I guess why people make certain decisions or they want
22:33
Speaker 1: to qualify it or challenge it in some way. That's
22:36
Speaker 1: why it doesn't make any sense to me. I've been
22:38
Speaker 1: around enough alcoholics to be included to know that if
22:40
Speaker 1: someone says they're an alcoholic and they haven't had a
22:42
Speaker 1: drink in such a long time, I'm not going to
22:44
Speaker 1: challenge them on it. I never when Drey, when you said, actually,
22:47
Speaker 1: i've been sober X amount of years, I'm like, good
22:49
Speaker 1: for you. Don't force it on me.
22:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I have it.
22:55
Speaker 5: I can understand, like with like people say they're vegetarian,
22:59
Speaker 5: because there's so often there's.
23:01
Speaker 4: A but you know, i'll do this or do that
23:05
Speaker 4: or whatever.
23:07
Speaker 5: And you know, if you're a vegetarian and you have
23:10
Speaker 5: a fish or steak or whatever, it's not going to
23:13
Speaker 5: kill you. Generally, if you're you know, an alcoholic and
23:16
Speaker 5: they say i've been sober, I drink might kill you.
23:19
Speaker 1: Because I've known people like that. I say known in
23:23
Speaker 1: the past tense because they're dead now right.
23:27
Speaker 6: No, I didn't drink, you know, I was in the
23:30
Speaker 6: stomach confection, the aged pilory, and then I had about
23:32
Speaker 6: a pink or titis and I didn't drink for almost
23:36
Speaker 6: two years, year and a half, a little over year
23:38
Speaker 6: and a half, and I would still do shows and
23:41
Speaker 6: people would try to buy me shots on stage. I'm like, no,
23:44
Speaker 6: I'm not drinking, and I would get booed. I'm like, who,
23:47
Speaker 6: who booz you?
23:49
Speaker 1: That's the alcoholics who are still drinking, That's true.
23:52
Speaker 6: The weirdest reaction I ever got was like, let me
23:56
Speaker 6: let me buy you a shot. I'm on stage. I'm like,
23:58
Speaker 6: let me get you a shot. I'm like, good man,
24:00
Speaker 6: I'm not drinking right now. I'm good drinking a year.
24:04
Speaker 6: Boo look really, I was like, this is so Texas.
24:08
Speaker 1: Speaking of someone that probably needs to be booed. Is
24:11
Speaker 1: a young woman by the name of Eliza Loftis. She
24:14
Speaker 1: is twenty six years old. She's from England. The reason
24:17
Speaker 1: why I'm telling you about her is because her story
24:19
Speaker 1: is quite interesting. See because in April of this year
24:27
Speaker 1: in England, young Eliza crashed into a tree after a
24:32
Speaker 1: night at the pub. Her white Ford ca careered into
24:37
Speaker 1: a tree shortly after midnight after a night out at
24:40
Speaker 1: a pub. So she crashed her car into a tree
24:43
Speaker 1: and then fled into the bushes to hide from responding police.
24:49
Speaker 1: Where the interesting twist on this is is miss loftis
24:53
Speaker 1: who got drunk at a pub and crashed her car
24:56
Speaker 1: into a tree and hidden the bushes, is the marketing
24:59
Speaker 1: director in chie fundraiser for an alcohol and drug charity.
25:10
Speaker 6: This New Market Research.
25:16
Speaker 1: Last Thursday, she was sentenced and banned from driving for
25:20
Speaker 1: forty months after pleading guilty to drunk driving. The court
25:26
Speaker 1: heard that she was driving home from a pub on
25:28
Speaker 1: April seventh when her white Ford careened into a tree
25:32
Speaker 1: shortly after midnight, and then she head in the bushes.
25:36
Speaker 1: She hid in the bushes, and the responding officers approached
25:39
Speaker 1: the bush approximately twenty meters away from the crash and shouted,
25:43
Speaker 1: police come out. And then a female who was the
25:47
Speaker 1: defendant before the court emerged night and she said, I'm sorry.
25:52
Speaker 1: Now you have forty months. That's a pretty strong sentence.
25:55
Speaker 1: No driving for her for forty months. But the fact
25:58
Speaker 1: that she's the chief fund racer and marketing officer for
26:02
Speaker 1: an alcoholism charity just sometimes the irony just writes itself.
26:07
Speaker 4: I mean she's not only the president, she's also a client.
26:17
Speaker 6: And top salesman.
26:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
26:19
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, sometimes if you really want to
26:21
Speaker 1: raise some money for an alcoholism charity. One of the
26:23
Speaker 1: best things you can do is shine a light on it,
26:26
Speaker 1: and no better way to do that than getting drunk
26:28
Speaker 1: and driving into the forest. There is actually one slightly
26:33
Speaker 1: better way to get more attention on this entire scenario,
26:36
Speaker 1: and that is by the mugshot that you take. Right.
26:40
Speaker 1: Celebrity mugshots are very popular, and when I saw this story,
26:43
Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, let's see what kind of mugshot this
26:46
Speaker 1: lady's working with as a charity fundraiser for an alcoholism
26:50
Speaker 1: charity that gets you know, arrested and sentenced for drunk driving.
26:55
Speaker 1: So here's her mugshot. This is Eliza Loftus. Oh wait, sorry,
27:02
Speaker 1: that's sorry, that's large Marge from Pee Wee's Biggot. No sorry,
27:09
Speaker 1: here is here is Eliza Loftis hey?
27:13
Speaker 6: Now right? Well done? That's her mugshot.
27:20
Speaker 1: So I don't know for sure if it's her mugshot,
27:23
Speaker 1: but it's one of the photos that's circulating everywhere, and
27:26
Speaker 1: since it's got just a very blah background, I like
27:29
Speaker 1: to think it's possible that it's her mugshot. However, she
27:33
Speaker 1: did blow three times the legal limit that night, so
27:38
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is her mugshot the night
27:40
Speaker 1: of the arrest.
27:43
Speaker 6: That's I mean, she looks great.
27:46
Speaker 4: Yeah.
27:47
Speaker 1: I mean I think if you're the defense attorney and
27:49
Speaker 1: this is the mugshot, you say you're honor, I think
27:52
Speaker 1: there's no way she's three times the legal limit.
27:55
Speaker 6: Three times the legal limit. Wow. Yeah, for I mean
28:00
Speaker 6: for almost alcohol poisoning. She looks great.
28:04
Speaker 1: I know you really would have expected it to look
28:06
Speaker 1: more like large Marge.
28:09
Speaker 6: I was expecting Nick Nolty.
28:14
Speaker 1: Now that's reserved for at least five times the league limits.

29:45
Speaker 1: let me tell you about possibly the weirdest Halloween product
29:49
Speaker 1: of the year. Are you ready? You guys are familiar
29:53
Speaker 1: with Airheads the candy, right, yeah? Okay, Well, the makers
29:58
Speaker 1: of Airheads candy are releasing a candy scented foot spray
30:04
Speaker 1: for Halloween. Who's excited for that?
30:07
Speaker 4: Right?
30:08
Speaker 1: And I don't think this is just for like an
30:10
Speaker 1: OnlyFans thing. There is an actual tie in here. Okay
30:14
Speaker 1: it took me a minute to understand, but now I do.
30:18
Speaker 1: The Airhead's candy foot spray is called Trick or Treat
30:22
Speaker 1: Smell My Feet. Yeah, the can is actually shaped like
30:28
Speaker 1: a foot and it's supposed to smell exactly like cherry
30:32
Speaker 1: flavored airheads. Thankfully not feet, otherwise I would clearly defeat
30:36
Speaker 1: the purpose. They say it is for parents. With smelly
30:39
Speaker 1: feet who have to accompany their kids on Halloween this year,
30:43
Speaker 1: the promo video says, the average trick or treater walks
30:46
Speaker 1: one point two five miles, and since it's not something
30:51
Speaker 1: most people would typically want, you can't buy it. They're
30:55
Speaker 1: doing a limited run and they're giving them away through
30:58
Speaker 1: their website. If you want, you can sign up to
31:00
Speaker 1: win a can of Airheads foot Spray at Airheads Footspray
31:06
Speaker 1: dot com. So once you hear trick or Treat smell
31:09
Speaker 1: my feet, then I can understand the tie in. But
31:11
Speaker 1: it took me a minute reading through that story to
31:14
Speaker 1: get there, but I appreciate it.
31:16
Speaker 6: No, that is that's a great way to go. H hey,
31:21
Speaker 6: it's for people with foot fetishes. That's what that's for.
31:25
Speaker 6: They're just trying to go uh no, no, no, it's
31:27
Speaker 6: for people who walk a lot. Really, I don't I
31:29
Speaker 6: walk a lot. Look, I walk a lot, and I
31:33
Speaker 6: don't need a can of cherry flavored cherry scented. Is
31:37
Speaker 6: it flavored or scented. If it's flavored, then we know
31:39
Speaker 6: what they're talking about.
31:41
Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring that up because they said in
31:44
Speaker 1: the story it's supposed to smell exactly like cherry flavored airheads.
31:51
Speaker 6: Hmmm, so smell and flavor. Yeah, this is for people
31:54
Speaker 6: who like the suck toes. That's what this is.
31:58
Speaker 1: You sound like. You sound like one of the times
32:00
Speaker 1: ever went into an adult store and I and I
32:03
Speaker 1: learned that there were flavored lubricants.
32:05
Speaker 6: I thought, why, Yeah, I have a buddy of mine
32:12
Speaker 6: who has a very very severe fet footage foot fetish,
32:16
Speaker 6: and he can't, like, if there's a woman in the
32:18
Speaker 6: room with like open toed shoes, like he can't, like
32:21
Speaker 6: he loses his mind. So this is like, this would
32:24
Speaker 6: be for him, This would be.
32:26
Speaker 1: That sounds like a like you said, that's that's a legitimate,
32:31
Speaker 1: like public problem, not just a personal problem for him.
32:35
Speaker 1: But if he can't stay in a room with a
32:36
Speaker 1: woman with open toed shoes, he can never go to
32:39
Speaker 1: the beach.
32:40
Speaker 6: No, I don't believe he does.
32:42
Speaker 1: I don't.
32:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's weird. He just I don't know how
32:45
Speaker 6: you develop it. I don't know how it happens. But
32:48
Speaker 6: his thing is like if there's like, if he sees
32:51
Speaker 6: feet that he likes, he gets super turned on and
32:54
Speaker 6: has to like he has to leave.
32:57
Speaker 5: And how does that, like, I I feel like that
33:01
Speaker 5: would be more awkward than just coming out to your friend.
33:04
Speaker 4: Uh that how how did you broach that subject?
33:08
Speaker 6: I was at his house and I was with the
33:10
Speaker 6: girl that I was dating, and she had an open
33:13
Speaker 6: to shoot and she had just had a manny petty done.
33:16
Speaker 6: And he texted me from the other side of the room.
33:18
Speaker 6: He goes, your girl's got nice feet. And I was like,
33:23
Speaker 6: thank you. I'm also in your house and I can
33:25
Speaker 6: see you. Uh so this is a really weird text.
33:29
Speaker 6: And he's like, no, man, she's got really really nice feet.
33:32
Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, okay. And so we you know,
33:35
Speaker 6: said our goodbyes, and we've you know, finished up dinner
33:38
Speaker 6: and all that good stuff, and when we uh, when
33:41
Speaker 6: we when we got back to our house in La Uh.
33:44
Speaker 6: He was like, yeah, just something like that's my thing,
33:47
Speaker 6: his feet. He's like, I'm not a a boob guy
33:50
Speaker 6: or a butt guy. He's like, I'm a I'm a
33:52
Speaker 6: foot guy.
33:54
Speaker 5: I just seems like that would just be a really
33:57
Speaker 5: awkward conversation. I mean that, yeah, if your buddy's dating
34:04
Speaker 5: a girl, I feel like, you know, it would even
34:06
Speaker 5: be a like I'm not gonna text him on Hey,
34:08
Speaker 5: she's got nice.
34:09
Speaker 6: Boobs, you know, solid rack on your chick.
34:14
Speaker 4: I mean.
34:16
Speaker 5: Maybe after you're done dating whatever, you're like, oh, yeah,
34:19
Speaker 5: you know, she had nice cans, but uh, you have
34:22
Speaker 5: to sit there while you're in the same room.
34:23
Speaker 4: And especially feet, Yeah.
34:26
Speaker 6: I just I don't know how you developed that, how
34:29
Speaker 6: you decide feet are going to be your thing because
34:33
Speaker 6: the majority of people have busted feet. Oh yeah, the
34:39
Speaker 6: majority of people have really really bad feet. Like I
34:42
Speaker 6: have nice feet. I can say that about myself. I
34:44
Speaker 6: have nice feet, But I've seen like a buddy mine
34:47
Speaker 6: I was on his boat and his pinky toe looked
34:49
Speaker 6: like it was trying to commit suicide. Like it was.
34:53
Speaker 6: I was like, bro, you're your little toe doesn't want
34:55
Speaker 6: to be here. It was that bad.
34:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.
34:59
Speaker 5: Most people, I mean, unfortunately, most people have never experienced
35:03
Speaker 5: the how wonderfully relaxing a pedicure is.
35:08
Speaker 6: And should get one, yes, and and and people like
35:13
Speaker 6: when I tell people that I do like manicures and pedicures,
35:16
Speaker 6: especially guys like, oh man, you really do that, would you, chick?
35:21
Speaker 6: I'm like, no, dude, the foot massage that happens with
35:25
Speaker 6: the pedicure is worth every single penny. It's better than
35:29
Speaker 6: anything you've ever had.
35:31
Speaker 5: I could not agree with you more because I'll pay
35:33
Speaker 5: the extra where they'll do your calves. Oh yeah, yeah,
35:36
Speaker 5: and yes, that that makes it all worth while for Yeah.
35:43
Speaker 4: And you're right.
35:44
Speaker 5: I mean, and guys be like, oh, I can't believe
35:46
Speaker 5: you do that. I'm like, if you haven't done it,
35:48
Speaker 5: shut up, I go. Try it once. I promise you
35:51
Speaker 5: will go back and do it again.
35:53
Speaker 3: I go.
35:54
Speaker 4: That's one thing you always have to remember.
35:56
Speaker 5: Women they have been they've known how like the the
36:00
Speaker 5: good things. It's like they kept that to themselves for
36:03
Speaker 5: a long time.
36:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then we figured it out. And then it's
36:09
Speaker 6: also like there are especially like in the UK, there
36:12
Speaker 6: are salons for men, so like you can go in
36:15
Speaker 6: and get manicures and pedicures, you can go get in
36:18
Speaker 6: and get facials done. You can go in and do
36:20
Speaker 6: all that stuff and it's just for men, which is
36:23
Speaker 6: I think is really cool. If that would kind of
36:25
Speaker 6: shift over to this side, well for.
36:28
Speaker 1: I think some of those have popped up, you know,
36:31
Speaker 1: the salons for men in the States, especially around Texas.
36:34
Speaker 1: The problem is the police keep shutting them down.
36:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're listening to the Treehouse visit us online at

38:02
Speaker 1: you know, radio standards when you're not supposed to say
38:05
Speaker 1: something you're about to do is boring. But at first, blush,
38:08
Speaker 1: I thought this next thing we were gonna do is
38:10
Speaker 1: gonna be a little dull. And then there was a
38:13
Speaker 1: glimmer of hope and I can't wait to share it
38:15
Speaker 1: with you. Now it is time for birthdays here on
38:20
Speaker 1: a Monday, October fourteenth, twenty twenty four. Trust me, there's
38:26
Speaker 1: a really really good one here that you're going to enjoy.
38:29
Speaker 1: But first, other birthdays, Let's start with Stacy Keebler, former
38:35
Speaker 1: WWE wrestler slash beauty slash x of George Clooney. Before
38:42
Speaker 1: he found his one and only a Mall Clooney, he
38:45
Speaker 1: dated Stacy Keebler and if I remember right, it was
38:47
Speaker 1: around the time that she graced the cover of I
38:52
Speaker 1: think it was FHM or Maxim magazine, something along those lines,
38:56
Speaker 1: so he timed that right. Other birthdays today, Usher turns
39:02
Speaker 1: forty six. Natalie Mainz from the Don't Call Us the
39:06
Speaker 1: Dixie Chicks is fifty today. Now they just go buy
39:09
Speaker 1: the Chicks trying to move away from their Antebellum pass well,
39:15
Speaker 1: and I can't say Antebellum either, because Lady Antebellum changed
39:17
Speaker 1: their named Lady A as if we don't remember what
39:19
Speaker 1: the A stands for.
39:23
Speaker 6: And there's also a female hip hop artist named Lady
39:25
Speaker 6: A that they just went, we're gonna take your name.
39:28
Speaker 1: That was she sued them, and I believe they settled,
39:32
Speaker 1: and lucky for Lady A. The rapper Lady Antebellum that
39:35
Speaker 1: changed the name to Lady A. The Country Act very
39:38
Speaker 1: successful and had plenty of money to send Lady A
39:41
Speaker 1: to use that name. Nice me, I see it, like,
39:44
Speaker 1: just change the name to something else. I mean, I look,
39:47
Speaker 1: I understand, Lady Antebellum, Lady A, it's a. It's a.
39:51
Speaker 1: It's a threesome, right, it's it's two. It's it's two
39:54
Speaker 1: guys and a girl. But if we're being honest, it's
39:57
Speaker 1: one guy, one girl singing and the other eyes the
40:01
Speaker 1: guy that plays some of the instruments. They're all very talented.
40:04
Speaker 1: But if there's two dudes and one chick, I mean,
40:06
Speaker 1: outside of you know, renaming your band Eiffel Tower or
40:11
Speaker 1: you know, Fingercuffs, maybe something that both, like the guys
40:16
Speaker 1: would want to be known as in the country world.
40:19
Speaker 6: Would you have to send out a statement like, Hey,
40:22
Speaker 6: we were this and now we are this, so don't
40:26
Speaker 6: don't stop buying our stuff. I think going from Lady
40:29
Speaker 6: Antebellum to Lady A is an easier choice. And from
40:32
Speaker 6: the Dixie Chicks to the Chicks, Yeah, because at least
40:35
Speaker 6: it's still your fan base knows who you are. But
40:37
Speaker 6: if you went from Lady Antebellum to like Steve and
40:41
Speaker 6: Doug and Trish, like people were like, who are those guys?
40:45
Speaker 1: I would just like to see people's reactions when they
40:48
Speaker 1: go to buy Lady a Merchant instead of being the
40:51
Speaker 1: country group, it's the rapper chick. It's gonna be some
40:56
Speaker 1: confused people at the concert.
41:02
Speaker 5: I just look at it like STARplex. You know the
41:04
Speaker 5: concert venue here in Dallas is you know they changed
41:07
Speaker 5: the name. It opened up as Coca Cola STARplex. It's
41:10
Speaker 5: gone through fifteen name changes. I think technically now it's
41:14
Speaker 5: the Doseeki's Pavilion, but it will always be STARplex.
41:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, just keep the name as it is because that's
41:20
Speaker 1: you're right, Tray. That's how I know that facility, and
41:23
Speaker 1: that's how I'm always going to refer to it, even
41:25
Speaker 1: though radio wise we've had to refer to it as
41:28
Speaker 1: Dosequi's Pavilion, Superpages dot Com arena, but sorry I kicked
41:34
Speaker 1: something there or whatever. Insurance company of the week, that's
41:39
Speaker 1: not declaring bankruptcy type of thing. Yeah, it's just it's STARplex.
41:45
Speaker 6: I thought before do skis it went back to STARplex.
41:49
Speaker 1: It actually did.
41:51
Speaker 6: That's great.
41:52
Speaker 1: So even STARplex referts back to its original name when
41:55
Speaker 1: it doesn't have any buyers.
41:59
Speaker 6: It beats checksa energy pavilion. That was the worst.
42:02
Speaker 4: One superpages dot Com. This was pretty bad.
42:11
Speaker 1: Up touche, not only the name, but even at the
42:16
Speaker 1: time it just didn't feel like a good venue either.
42:18
Speaker 1: But once it changed back to start Bucks's like, that's
42:20
Speaker 1: kind of nice.
42:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, it sounds nice.
42:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. Other birthdays Today, Shaggy Too Dope from Insane Clown
42:27
Speaker 1: Posse is also turning the big five.
42:29
Speaker 4: Oh.

42:35
Speaker 1: The Night at the Museum movies, he is fifty eight.
42:38
Speaker 1: He's also, by the way, in one of our favorite movies,

42:44
Speaker 1: director who gets blown up in Tropic Thunder.
42:48

Speaker 1: fifty nine. Steve Coogan fifty nine. Today Thomas Dolby is
42:58
Speaker 1: sixty six. And here's the big birthday of the day.
43:01
Speaker 1: You would think it would be Shaggy Too Dope, but no,
43:04
Speaker 1: it's actually Greg Evigan. He is seventy one today. He
43:08
Speaker 1: is from My Two Dads fame. He was the one
43:11
Speaker 1: with the great eighties hair mullet and the other dad
43:13
Speaker 1: was Paul Riser. Greg Evigan was the second dad and
43:18
Speaker 1: before he was in My Two Dads Tray. I know
43:20
Speaker 1: you'll remember this. He was one of the stars of
43:24
Speaker 1: BJ and the Bear Show. Raj, Did you ever watch
43:28
Speaker 1: BJ and the Bear?
43:29
Speaker 6: I did? I did?
43:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, See, I'm I really for whatever reason, I don't
43:35
Speaker 1: really remember watching that show, and it really seems like
43:40
Speaker 1: one I would have loved as a child, even just
43:42
Speaker 1: reading the synopsis of it. The Escapades of a hunky
43:46
Speaker 1: trucker and his pet chimp. What's not to love?
43:53
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying this. This is the beauty of Hollywood.
43:56
Speaker 6: Like somebody walked in and is like, all right, hey,
43:58
Speaker 6: so what's what's your idea. It's like, all right, we
44:00
Speaker 6: got a trucker and a chimp something. Then Hollywood went,
44:03
Speaker 6: here's bags of money.
44:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, it worked for like the Man and Monkey formula
44:09
Speaker 1: has worked time and again in Hollywood. Look look at
44:11
Speaker 1: how great it worked out for Clint Eastwood.
44:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, but likely isn't the man in the monkey. Yeah,
44:17
Speaker 6: manimal like that was an actual move. That was an
44:19
Speaker 6: actual TV showbody. It was like half man, half animal.
44:25
Speaker 6: They're like, where have you been? It just makes no
44:30
Speaker 6: sense in Hollywood, But it was back in the eighties
44:33
Speaker 6: when they're like, Hey, what what kind of formula can
44:35
Speaker 6: we can we do?
44:37
Speaker 7: Uh?
44:37
Speaker 6: We got Grizzly Adams. You know what, put ours in
44:42
Speaker 6: a truck. That's what they did.
44:46
Speaker 1: I would just like to once again read you this
44:47
Speaker 1: synopsis of BJ and the Bear. This is from tv
44:51
Speaker 1: guide dot com, The Escapades of a Hunky Trucker and
44:55
Speaker 1: his pet chimp Bear in a Big Rig series cut
44:58
Speaker 1: from The Dukes of Hazard. It's cloth, I mean, honestly,
45:03
Speaker 1: just hunky trucker and his pet chimp named Bear. You
45:07
Speaker 1: take the chimp out and you got a hell of
45:10
Speaker 1: a night.

46:09
Speaker 1: other tidbit out of Hurricane Milton that I missed earlier
46:12
Speaker 1: when we were talking about all the things that had
46:14
Speaker 1: come out of the storm.
46:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, the one that really stuck out for me was
46:19
Speaker 6: there was a gentleman who was rescued floating on a
46:22
Speaker 6: cooler thirty miles off the coast Florida. He had a boat,
46:30
Speaker 6: and the marino went to go check on the boat.
46:31
Speaker 6: I think he was trying to make sure it was secure,
46:34
Speaker 6: and it capsized and the last thing he could grab
46:38
Speaker 6: was a cooler and he hit I believe it was
46:41
Speaker 6: twenty five foot waves that kind of carried him and
46:46
Speaker 6: kept carrying him and got him thirty miles out and
46:51
Speaker 6: he was overnight, so the rescue was the next day.
46:54
Speaker 6: Now I don't know how they found him. I'm assuming
46:57
Speaker 6: a loved one was like, he went to go check
46:58
Speaker 6: on the boat, the boat capsized, we don't know where
47:01
Speaker 6: he is, and then the coast guard went to go
47:03
Speaker 6: look and he was just floating in the middle of
47:06
Speaker 6: the ocean.
47:07
Speaker 1: Did his family tell the coast guard that they think
47:09
Speaker 1: the cooler was full of beer, and they said, we'll
47:11
Speaker 1: find him.
47:14
Speaker 6: He was like, I didn't want to be rescued.
47:17
Speaker 1: I'm living my best life from the middle of the Atlantic.
47:21
Speaker 6: I got water all around me and cold beer.
47:25
Speaker 1: And this is the thing. Corona commercials are moving.
47:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I can't imagine being overnight, just sitting there
47:32
Speaker 6: in the middle of the ocean.
47:33
Speaker 1: So yeah, was was he on top of the cooler
47:37
Speaker 1: or was it or is the cooler large enough where
47:39
Speaker 1: he was inside of it and used it like a
47:41
Speaker 1: little boat.
47:42
Speaker 6: No, he was on top of the cooler. And that's
47:44
Speaker 6: the moment where you're like, man, if this was if
47:46
Speaker 6: this was the Titanic and Rose was there, he would
47:49
Speaker 6: have died use she would have taken that cooler from him,
47:52
Speaker 6: like she would have hopped on and kicked him right off.
47:55
Speaker 6: He would have been jack.
47:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it's you're right, it's amazing that he
48:00
Speaker 1: was found at all, thirty miles off the coast. Look,
48:04
Speaker 1: every inch you get away from the coast reduces your
48:09
Speaker 1: chances of being found at all, let alone alive. Yeah, drastically.
48:16
Speaker 1: That's that's truly stunning.
48:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there's a lot of stuff under that water
48:20
Speaker 6: that likes to eat you. So the fact that he
48:24
Speaker 6: didn't get eaten was amazing.
48:29
Speaker 1: So yeah, did it say what type of like, what
48:32
Speaker 1: what the cooler brand was? Because I'm able to go
48:37
Speaker 1: through the roof. Yeah, I mean, YETI could use a comeback,
48:41
Speaker 1: and what better one than this one saying I survived
48:44
Speaker 1: thirty miles in a hurricane in my yetti.
48:47
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie. I believe it looked like a
48:49
Speaker 6: very large, just plain styrofoam cooler, like the kind.
48:53
Speaker 1: You get from seven to eleven or oh wow.
48:56
Speaker 4: Yeah.
48:56
Speaker 6: So but yeah, I mean the coast Guard came down,
49:01
Speaker 6: swooped in, picked him up, and brought him back home.
49:03
Speaker 6: But that's an incredible, incredible I can't, I can't. I mean,
49:07
Speaker 6: first of all, that would never happen to me. That's
49:10
Speaker 6: that's a that's a y'all thing.
49:11
Speaker 1: I would no, no, no, I would have died. Yeah, I'm
49:16
Speaker 1: just hearing you, hearing you say twenty five foot waves,
49:20
Speaker 1: I just get motion sick thinking about it. I like,
49:22
Speaker 1: I've I there's no way I could be in the Coastguard,
49:25
Speaker 1: the Navy, anything involving water. I can't do it. I
49:28
Speaker 1: get to motion sick. So I probably would have died
49:30
Speaker 1: of throwing up somewhere at mile five, let alone. If
49:36
Speaker 1: they did find me, my cooler would have been full
49:38
Speaker 1: of vomit.
49:39
Speaker 6: That's that's how they do find you, is like just
49:41
Speaker 6: follow the trail of vomit.
49:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably my only hope. That really what that
49:48
Speaker 1: really is. I need to look this up to see
49:50
Speaker 1: what kind of a cooler it was, because if it's
49:52
Speaker 1: one of those high end coolers, then you've got an endless,
49:56
Speaker 1: priceless amount of publicity for year a high end cooler,
50:01
Speaker 1: Whereas if it's because I mean, those coolers can be
50:03
Speaker 1: three four hundred dollars. Whereas if this guy survived in
50:08
Speaker 1: a three dollars gas station styrofoam cooler, then by god,
50:13
Speaker 1: you clearly you don't need to spend a ton of
50:15
Speaker 1: money if you want to live through a hurricane.
50:17
Speaker 6: Yeah.
50:18
Speaker 1: But it's just like at the same time.
50:20
Speaker 6: If it is one of those high end coolers, like
50:21
Speaker 6: you have the cooler itself with the promotion, and then
50:24
Speaker 6: you have the spokesperson, like you have the guy like
50:28
Speaker 6: all he has to do is go on TV's Like
50:30
Speaker 6: I was in the middle of the ocean. Thank you.
50:32
Speaker 1: YETI I would not be alive today if it wasn't
50:39
Speaker 1: for Arctic.
50:45
Speaker 6: Yeah. I just can't even imagine just looking around three
50:48
Speaker 6: hundred and sixty degrees and seeing nothing.
50:51
Speaker 1: Uh so I'm seeing video of it.
50:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can see the right.
50:55
Speaker 1: A man who was found floating dozens of miles off
50:58
Speaker 1: of Florida's Gulf Coast walk, cling to a cooler to
51:00
Speaker 1: keep him afloat, was rescued on Thursday, according to the
51:03
Speaker 1: Coast Guard. Officials said an air Station Miami sixty five
51:06
Speaker 1: helicopter crew rescued the man, who was approximately thirty miles
51:10
Speaker 1: off of Longboat Key, a town along the state's central
51:13
Speaker 1: west coast.
51:15
Speaker 6: Yeah.
51:18
Speaker 1: I need to know what cooler brand it was.
51:25
Speaker 6: If it just says circle K on the side.
51:31
Speaker 1: I mean really like, this is this entire story nowhere
51:34
Speaker 1: doesn't mention the brand. This is why people don't trust
51:39
Speaker 1: journalists anymore. They don't ask them the big questions that
51:42
Speaker 1: we want answers to.
51:43
Speaker 6: Yes, we're not. We're not worried about the guy's life
51:46
Speaker 6: who was just saved. Look that's fantastic, screw him. What's
51:50
Speaker 6: the cooler?
51:52
Speaker 1: Well, no, that's a serious thing because here's here's how
51:54
Speaker 1: the press conference would have gone if I was involved.
51:57
Speaker 1: So in the story, it says from the US Coast Guard,
52:02
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Commander Dana Grady says, to understand the severity of
52:07
Speaker 1: the hurricane conditions, we estimate he experienced approximately seventy five
52:12
Speaker 1: to ninety mile p hour wins, twenty to twenty five
52:14
Speaker 1: foot seas for an extended period of time to include overnight.
52:18
Speaker 1: He survived because of a life jacket, his emergency position
52:22
Speaker 1: indicating locator beacons, and a cooler. If I'm a reporter
52:27
Speaker 1: in front of this person for the press conference, I'm
52:30
Speaker 1: going to ask what was the brand of the cooler to.
52:34
Speaker 6: The guy, to the guy who just got rescued?
52:37
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah.
52:38
Speaker 6: Everybody else is like, you know, how did you feel
52:39
Speaker 6: out there? You know what kept you going? And then
52:42
Speaker 6: they're like, uh yeah, mister O'Malley and they're like, yeah,
52:46
Speaker 6: so what kind of cooler was it? That's the treehouse
52:50
Speaker 6: for you, and don't you forget it.
53:00
Speaker 5: We might have developed a relationship with that thing, like
53:02
Speaker 5: Tom Hanks and Wilson, not only.
53:06
Speaker 1: What what brand of cooler? But did you save the cooler? Also?
53:14
Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for the Treehouse today. Thanks
