Episode 49: Bad Ideas · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:28
Welcome into the treehouse. Time to leave your worries outside and join me Daniel
0:34
Malley along with Trey Trenholme and Raj Sharma m Oh. So much has been
0:44
happening, and it makes me smile because that means we have we have so
0:49
much to choose from. It's like walking up to the tree house and looking
0:54
at the tree that engulfs the treehouse full of content fruit just right for the
1:00
picking. So this is one of those days we get you just kind of
1:03
stand back on the ground, or stand in the treehouse and reach out the
1:07
treehouse window and just just pluck a little, little little content fruit right off
1:11
the tree. My vote is going to start today with m the piece of
1:21
content fruit of Kid Rock enjoying himself a nice bud light at a concert.
1:27
I think that, I think that I think the Latin name for that piece
1:34
of content fruit is hypocritus fruitus. Yes, yes, so I have a
1:42
all right, all right, I guess I have missed the news. So
1:48
last time I saw Kid Rock was shooting like an AK forty seven at a
1:52
case of bud light. Whatever, Trey, you better be careful because that's
1:55
where the gun nuts are. We're gonna come get you and say, if
1:57
you're gonna say it's a type of gun, you better get it right otherwise
2:00
you're stupid. And that's not a type of gun. Tray, Oh sorry,
2:05
it's a rifle. The gun shooting firearm. He was shooting an automatic
2:13
weapon and automatic yes, and honestly, if if, if we are being
2:16
honest, he was shooting at the cases of bud light poorly. Yea.
2:22
You can see the bullets hitting the dirt stuff around the cases of bud light.
2:28
That would be like me shooting at it like kid man. You need
2:31
to get a compensator on that thing. Yeah, there's a reason his name
2:37
is not kid Block. Oh now I feel like that's a miss marketing opportunity
2:42
on his part. Oh just wait, there's gonna be somebody. There's gonna
2:46
be a kid block. Now, she's gonna be like I should have trademarked
2:51
that there might still be time. There might still be time. No.
2:55
Over the weekend Trey. The other day, kid Rock was spotted what rage
3:00
What concert was kid Rock at in Nashville, Tennessee at the cult Ford Concert.
3:07
Our buddy Robbie Rich Robert Ritchie was in the suite of his buddy cult
3:15
Ford and uh was caught by paparazzi enjoying a giant not just not just a
3:23
tall ounce my friend, No, no, a thirty two ounce bud light.
3:30
Oh a trailer trailer parks hize. Well that's I mean, would you
3:32
expect anything else from Kid Rock? I'm like, yeah, he tried to
3:38
marry Loretta Lip. I'm just saying it was yeah, yeah, And he
3:44
was caught by paparazzi. And and my favorite caption was somebody underneath in one
3:49
of the comments. But they tricked him, Like really they that's what I
3:54
wanted to know. I mean, it's a blue can. I'm sorry,
3:58
there's only that's the only by I can think of that has that blue on
4:02
the can with the very large white letters light. How do you trick somebody?
4:06
It is impressive what what people will do when when when hypocrisy is the
4:14
rears its ugly face, like somebody's like, I'm not sure, no other
4:16
options. I'm not sure what was more obvious the fact that it was a
4:20
can of bud light or that his hypocrisy was on such visible display. Yeah,
4:26
you have to be self. I mean, like he knew what he
4:28
was doing like you. You're very self aware, right, like your kid
4:31
Rock. You're very visible in that arena, and all somebody has to do
4:36
is just turn around and snap a picture, which is what happened. And
4:40
they sent it into TMZ, and TMZ broke the story, and then the
4:42
New York Times covered it, and then everybody else started covering it. But
4:45
one of them was like, what if there were no other options? I'm
4:47
like, well, uh, is that is that where integrity lies? Like,
4:50
you know, like your kids, I don't have a choice. I
4:54
don't have a choice. No, your kid Rock, you can can get
4:58
the whiskey. Hey, yeah, I know what as as a recovering alcoholic,
5:01
let me say, you know, in a pitch, you know there
5:05
there that need will triumph your your your your you know, your moral stance
5:12
on something if you just had to have a beer. And you know,
5:15
maybe maybe it was that was only maybe it was the only domestic option.
5:18
And he you know, still pro American, and so he went with bud
5:21
light over like a Heineken. Okay, so here's here's here's my theory.
5:27
And and and we've all been to sporting events, and we've all been to
5:30
concerts. Correct, Yes, there are a thousand vending places, there's a
5:38
thousand bars, there's a thousand beer tubs throughout the entire arena. You're telling
5:43
me that Kid Rock has lost so much clout uh and so much relevance that
5:49
he can't send someone to find him other beer? Like? Is that what
5:55
we're is that where we're at, Like Kid Rock can't like summon me something
5:58
else for I am against this bud Light? Or is Kid Rock telling us,
6:02
Hey, I'm okay with the movement? Well, see, that's that's
6:09
what That's what I'm curious about. It was this intentional? Was it an
6:13
intentional signal to say, Hey, everybody, bud Light's cool again? Yes,
6:18
like somehow the marketing department did something to win back Kid Rock's favor to
6:26
where he would stop shooting cases of bud Light? I was there? Was
6:30
there a letter sent? Was there a was there a gift basket of some
6:33
sort sent to the the the Rock Trailer mansion? And was it? Was
6:42
it in that letter? Was it so overwhelming and so sweet and powerful that
6:47
the rock the Kid Rock, not the rock the Kid Rock had no other
6:51
choice but to say, you know what, mayacopa bud Light Mayakopa and Herabush.
6:58
We don't speak Latin in here. You just did at the beginning of
7:01
the show. Aren't we giving kid Rocko? I mean, this is a
7:09
guy who's you know, hit song is bab with a Bob. I mean,
7:14
are we really gonna, you know, give him this much? You
7:16
know clout? Yeah, he's like the red He's like a redneck king.
7:21
You know, if his choices were bud Light or Estella, he's gonna go
7:25
with bud Light. Yeah, you know what, I agree with you on
7:28
that. I and my my thing is, you know, when it comes
7:32
to relevance, he's doing what he can to stay relevant because I don't know
7:39
if you know he's released He released an album not too long ago, but
7:43
I don't think it went plastic. I don't think. And there's one song
7:48
I can't remember the name of it, but the whole song is about how
7:50
he has no f's to give, and the whole song is about all of
7:55
the f's he has to give. I'm like, this is the It just
7:58
a random like I felt so dirty. It's like like I felt like when
8:01
I posted on my Facebook when I accidentally started listening to the first thirty seconds
8:05
of a Creed song because I couldn't place where it was because I hadn't heard
8:07
Creed in so long, And then I immediately changed the channel and good choice.
8:13
Yeah, I had to. I had to. I had to take
8:16
a shower because I was like, oh, that was Creed. Is it
8:18
impossible that the bud Light marketing department, in one of the great fails of
8:24
the twenty first century in corporate marketing, redeemed itself by using the same tactic
8:31
it used to get in such hot water in the first place. Because what
8:35
got them in trouble was sending a trans influencer. They're his, her,
8:43
whatever, own personalized can of bud Light. It wasn't a huge marketing shift
8:48
where they're gonna have you know, you know, trans people on every can
8:52
across America. All they did was they sent a personalized can to to one
8:54
individual. So did they, in their attempt to went back Kid Rock send
9:01
him a Kid Rock personalized bud Light can and he was just so overwhelmed at
9:07
the touching gesture that he felt the need to come back in to the bud
9:11
lightfold that you know, that could be a He could have walked into that
9:13
suite with the f and Heuserbusch mentality. And then there was the cooler with
9:20
his face on every can. It looked like it probably looked like one of
9:24
those massive displays the week of the Super Bowl that goes from the grocery store
9:28
floor all the way to the ceiling and all the cans and the boxes are
9:33
turned and just away where it looks like Kid Rocks face yeah, with a
9:37
little note on a little sign that just says where saw we And there were
9:43
so many cans that it looked like like what his audiences used to look like.
9:50
Uh, And it just there was some nostalgia. They're like, oh,
9:52
that's what my crowds used to look like. Thanks and heuser Busch,
9:58
I understand, We're We're back. And he just cracked himself up in a
10:01
can and then walked right to the front of forty thousand people in an arena
10:07
and decided to hold it in his hand. So maybe, so maybe that's
10:09
part of the controversy is TMZ is withholding the other side Like in the photo
10:13
all you see is the bud Light logo. What if on the other side
10:16
of the can that's facing Kid Rock is the photo of him on the can?
10:22
Oh I wouldn't. I mean, he's gonna he's gonna stare at himself
10:24
while he drinks it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I would expect nothing
10:26
less. I would do the same. I'm just saying, yeah, I
10:31
uh my my. The dip in sales is maybe what caught an Heiser Busch
10:37
by surprise the you know what I mean like, and so they went,
10:43
hey, listen, we gotta get back, we gotta get we gotta get
10:46
the kid back. Uh. And and that's what they did, because what
10:50
was the what was what did you say? The dip in the numbers weren't
10:54
like the trade were saying like ten. I mean, it's it's been estimated
10:58
it's about twenty billions, twenty billion. Uh, that's a that's a lot.
11:03
I wouldn't. I wouldn't expect to be that much. But yeah,
11:05
I mean so they were like, how do we recover? And I think
11:09
I wonder if also if one of the things that they attempted to do was
11:13
to because usually with stories like this, you can you can skate them when
11:16
the next big thing happened. But the next big thing really didn't happen,
11:20
and maybe that was another fail on bud Light's marketing. Department. I I
11:24
don't think they failed. I don't think they personally failed. Because I was
11:28
at a bar and there was an older gentleman sitting next to me and I,
11:33
I don't care about politics. I enjoy a cold bud light. I
11:37
don't care about politics. And the older gentleman next to me looks like he
11:41
would not like he was like he's sitting his ways and I'm sitting next to
11:45
him, and I go. He orders and he goes a bud light and
11:50
I kind of looked at him. I'm like, yep, I'm gonna have
11:52
one too, And I just kind of looked over like, really, you're
11:56
you, sir, are gonna have a bud light? And he just looked
11:58
to me, doesn't miss a meeting, goes, but it's cheaper. Who
12:07
can argue with that capitalism pore? Listening to the Treehouse, visit us online
12:24
that Treehouse on air dot Com. Time now for Rodney Anderson to jump in
12:35
the Treehouse. Nine hundred is his phone number, the website Rodney Anderson dot
12:39
com. You know, I've seen the news lately, Rodney, all the
12:43
financial experts, the big names. You know, it's the Dave Ramsey's the
12:46
Susie Ormonds. They're saying, hey, you have got to get out of
12:48
debt, that's what they're telling people. But I want to go to my
12:52
friend and my confidante, and that's you, Rodney. So what do you
12:54
think? Are they right? They're absolutely one percent right, because you have
12:58
to ask yourself, do you like making the banks rich or would you rather
13:03
you be rich? And so many people are sitting there in credit card debt.
13:07
Now student loans are getting ready to start up DAN. So many people
13:11
have also consolidated credit card debt into other debt vehicles where they have large installment
13:16
payments every single month. The one thing that I know gets in people's way
13:20
is debt, especially this high interest rate credit card debt. The average rate
13:24
right now in America twenty four percent. Most people are above average in that
13:28
area. We saw a client last week. They had a thirty six percent
13:31
medical card that they owed ten thousand dollars on imagine at thirty six percent.
13:35
So we did a cash out refinance, put all their debt together into one
13:39
payment, and now they have one mortgage payment. That's it. Lastly,
13:43
DAN, credit card debt is killing people's credit scores. Literally when you have
13:48
credit card debt when it's maxed out. Are you even close to being maxed
13:52
out? The credit card companies are. The credit barrels have changed the algorithm,
13:56
so there's a bigger emphasis on credit card debt. Don't wait until it's
14:00
too late. The reason why I say that we've got clients calling is for
14:03
cash out refinances that we can't do their loans now because they've waited so long
14:07
that their credit scores have dropped and now they're not even eligible. Don't wait
14:11
until it's too late. Listen to Rodney. The man knows what he's talking
14:15
about. He's been doing this for more than forty years. Give him a

15:13
Trey, what's the link that you just sent me? Oh, it's
15:16
too uh So, evidently when bud Light was just stepping in it and they
15:24
saved sending cans to trans, Yeah, cans to trans. They but I
15:28
guess Bore was a skincare beauty company. I guess it was a beneficiary because
15:35
they evidently, I guess stepped into it too. But it was just overshadow
15:39
to you know, kind of like Farra Faucet dying the same day as Michael
15:43
Jackson that I remember that day. I remember, I was, I was,
15:48
I was broadcasting, I was doing a show on the fan that day
15:52
when we got news of Farra faucet dying, and then I don't know,
15:54
maybe within the hour they said, oh, Michael Jackson died. So then
15:58
I had to I had to pivot from talking about being shocked that not only
16:03
did fair Fausa die but she died from anal cancer to h then you know
16:08
the King of pop dying as well. Yeah, I think I think the
16:12
thing that over like, I mean it's Michael Jackson. I felt bad because,
16:15
I mean, fair Fauster didn't lose a battle to cancer. And then
16:19
Michael Jackson died. You're like, oh, how did that happen? And
16:22
then you find out what a tremendous drug addict he was, You're like,
16:26
oh, okay, like that when it wasn't just normal stuff. I mean,
16:29
that's like the hardest of the hard stuff. No, no, no,
16:32
he was he was doing Yeah, so what is he was doing?
16:34
The home anesthesia? I think the only shocking thing was the fact that he
16:40
wasn't dead any sooner. Yeah, it's like it's like I've heard about make
16:44
your own beer. Look I've ever got making at home anesthetic? Yeah.
16:48
I don't think they have like those home propofolic kids. I would love to
16:52
see that informercial can't sleep be all the rage for Father's Day? I don't
17:03
know what to get dear old dad. How about the home all brewing kid?
17:07
Yeah, all that I just remember. This is just because I remember
17:11
where I was at Rust Martin Automotive and when Michael Jackson died. But the
17:15
thing I remember most about that whole period, it was like a week later
17:18
and Ryan O'Neill, which if y'all don't know, it was Fara Fawcett tex
17:22
husband, but they had this very tumultuous relationship, but it was and it
17:26
was TMZ in front of him. He was standing out on the street just
17:29
screaming and crying. It's like Farah died too. Yeah well yeah, yeah,
17:34
yeah, that exactly. So what's the what's the bore thing? The
17:38
timing on that is the nose for people. So they did a sponsorship,
17:42
yes, with no strips, that is exactly. They did a sponsorship with
17:47
a social media influencer. Oh so it's a similar of pile of that bud
17:53
Light got into because bud Light also was doing stuff with it with an influencer.
17:57
So Bori said, hey, we want in on that. Uh huh
18:03
okay, where's the rest of a tray? Yeah? Oh yeah, I
18:07
thought if you play the audio of the the ad, you'll you'll you'll you'll
18:15
see why maybe not the best Association, The No Strip people paired up with
18:22
an influencer that seems pretty simple. You pick up line or who is it?
18:26
Let's see it's here from a school shooting to having no idea what life
18:33
is going to look like after college supportive Mental Health Awareness Month. I'm partnering
18:37
with the Your Skincare Strip away the stigma of anxiety. We want you to
18:41
get it all out, not only what's in your pores, but most importantly
18:42
what's on your mind too. Anxiety in my life has come in waves.
18:45
I found myself recently struggling from seeing the effects of gun violence firsthand pat to
18:49
intentionally set aside time for prioritizing my mental health. I will never forget the
18:53
feeling in terror that I had walking around campus for weeks in a place I
18:56
considered home with countless anxiety attacks, to cry alone in my room. And
19:00
my message to you guys is that it's okay not to have it altogether.
19:03
Like continually changes and your thoughts will too, do things that make you happy
19:07
and know everything will work itself up. Join me and be your skincare and
19:10
speaking up about mental health by screen chatting is digital card and filling it out
19:14
yourself by every video posted is a step closer to normalizing conversations about mental health.
19:19
So if I, if I, I want to make sure I get
19:23
the correlation correct here. So br A's ad campaign is supposed to be centered
19:30
around stripping away blackheads, and they thought it would be a good thing to
19:36
tie in stripping away anxiety about gun violence and blackheads. I think the message
19:47
got a little delusion. I don't think that's I've never I've never found solace
19:52
in a no strip. But that's just me. I went to a therapist.
19:56
For those of you that are listening to this show and you're suffering from
20:00
anxiety or some sort of mental health issue, please don't use BORA. It's
20:04
not going unless unless you go see your therapist and the therapist actually hand you
20:11
a box of bore strips. Is here these one? Well? Now that
20:14
would be so my therapist and I would just as we would talk, we
20:17
would eat Indian food. Now, if you can do a little you know,
20:21
a little facial or a manny petty with yours, awesome, But make
20:25
sure that they're still a therapist involved and not just like you know what,
20:27
you know, what's gonna keep me from going over the edge today this no
20:32
strip, Like, no, let's let's kind of stay away from that angle
20:37
because that makes no sense to me. They make it sound like anxiety is
20:40
in your black heads and so if you away, all that's good. All
20:45
of a sudden, we're all of a sudden and they're advertising. They're going
20:49
back to like the Middle Ages medical theory, where it's oh, do you
20:56
have headaches? Bring on the leeches. Do you have a broken arm?
20:59
Bring on the leeches? Are you possessed? Guess what wife cheating on you?
21:10
I mean, you're getting stressed. I've got a nice can of leeches.
21:17
There should be a marketing person for bud Anheuser, Bush Bore and Target
21:22
and oh they just lock themselves in a room and just figure out who should
21:26
be have the most shame. Just shame for the rest of their lives.
21:32
Oh, shame, shame. That seems strong. I mean that is strong
21:37
coming from you. If you're if you're a marketing person and you know your
21:41
company took a twenty billion dollar hit. Yeah, I think there should be
21:45
some shame. I think there should be some shame of you're an adult and
21:48
used to watch Oak Island, Like, how did we skip over that from
21:52
the last I don't know which episode that was, but you can't talk about
21:55
shame and be an Oak Island watcher at the same time. Throw yourself in
21:57
that room, trade all those businesses and you and then they look at you
22:03
and go why are you here? And then you have to tell them.
22:04
You have to tell them to their target and bud Light and bor A faces.
22:08
I watch Oak Island. Yeah, that you got. They came up
22:11
with that marketing plan with you in the room watching. That's how they came
22:15
up with all those marketing ideas. That is the dumbest show in the history
22:21
of shows. Nothing, It's it's okay, there's only one demand defend himself.
22:26
It's not the dumbest show. There's plenty of other reality. Finding Bigfoot,
22:30
I'll give you Finding Bigfoot is the dumbest. Oh my god, Bachelor
22:34
Bachelorette, Hey, you stay away from my bachelor shows. They're trying to
22:40
find love. You're trying to find a yetti. You're finding trying to find
22:45
at least, and at least when we all know which one of those does
22:47
not exist. At least there's an element of Oak Island that you know,
22:53
if if with history like there are there are some really weird things that happened
22:57
up there during the times. And okay, so real quick, the only
23:02
thing I know about Oak Island is it's it's like a couple of guys looking
23:07
for something and it's multiple seasons of them having never found it. Right.
23:11
It's an island off Nova Scotia that these brothers have bought most of and they
23:18
whether he can come back up real quick. These these these two very very
23:22
white brothers. Let's just they're they're they're from Michigan. Yes, so one
23:26
is a very six obviously it was very successful in an oil drilling company.
23:30
And then he has a vineyard. And the other brother is the screw up
23:33
who I think got him involved in Oak Island. That's interesting. So the
23:37
one brother actually has bona fide success of finding something in the oil yeah,
23:44
okay, okay, and the other one's like here's the Native American arrowhead and
23:48
here's the Masonic rock. And you're like, what, like stay tuned for
23:52
a season two, Like what the hell just happened? I mean, they
23:56
find I mean, and they're stuff. Because there is all sorts of history
23:59
of was it knights Templar, was you know, there are all sorts of
24:02
things that you know, what came through North America and win. But it
24:07
I quit after six seasons. But I did six yea six seasons. Well
24:12
it's one of those if you're ever sort made no really, you just after
24:19
the first couple of seasons, you're like, I've invested this much time,
24:22
Maybe they're gonna find something and so. And I had a friend of mine
24:26
who was like, I even said, I've even posted. I'm like,
24:33
this is the it's the dumbest show ever I And you know what, let
24:37
me, I have a little bit of shame for the fact that I did.
24:41
I'll grant you that it takes a big man to admit that trade.
24:45
I mean it's not it's not bud Lighter New Coke shame, but there is
24:48
a little bit of at least pulled the adoris like, thank god, I
24:56
just went to YouTube. Yeah, Island's like all right, we're gearing up
25:00
for season twelve, the reunion episode. Yeah that is, but that and
25:11
fin like finding here's here's I'll admit it. I'm a I'm a Ghost Adventures
25:15
guy, and I know half of that has to be rigged. I get
25:18
it, Like it's just the fun part. You're throwing stones about watching and
25:22
you watch ghost Adventures. Absolutely, I used to would. I would mostly
25:27
for the drinking game. If you ever hear them go oh, was that
25:32
if you take a shot, you won't make it past minute six of that
25:36
show. You'll you'll just be effed up beyond belief. That was well,
25:40
there in lies the great irony raj is that Trey managed to go through six
25:44
seasons of Oak Island sober sober. That's right, that's right. That means
25:48
that was a sober choice Tray made. And then he realized and then he
25:55
realized after six seasons of watching Oak Island he had hit rock bottom. That's
26:02
bottom before they did online dot com. Time now to get Daniel Cook from
26:26
Cook dfw Roofing in Restoration into the Treehouse the phone number eight three three Cook
26:32
DFW, the website cook dfw dot com. Anytime you watch your home improvement
26:37
show, there's always a problem in every episode, right, and it's kind
26:40
of the same thing on a job site. There's always going to be some
26:41
sort of wrinkle or some sort of curveball that gets thrown at you or the
26:47
homeowner. And this is where you say it is so important to have the
26:51
right company, the right contractor working on that job site. Why is that,
26:55
Dan, I'm gonna tell you right now, if you have a job
26:57
site, you have a problem. It's coming. And the difference with us
27:02
is that we anticipate them and they when they happen, we don't run away
27:06
from them. We get them addressed immediately. So recently, we were doing
27:08
a roof here and Plano older home built in ninety nine had a hot water
27:14
heater up in the attic somewhere. It got changed out. Whoever changed it
27:18
out allowed the gas line to that hot water heater to run up right under
27:22
the decking. And so when we were replacing the roof, what happens.
27:26
One of our nail guns hit the gas line, allowing the gas line to
27:30
get punctured, and of course I put natural gas into the attic. We
27:33
immediately got the gas shut off, called one of our trusted partners. We
27:38
got that repair for these homeowners and back up and going and got their homes
27:42
safe within twenty four hours. And that's the kind of stuff that you have
27:47
to do as a contractors, get these problems solved. We take care of
27:51
your home like it was ours. We're going to make sure your home is
27:53

28:21
two one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight. That's two one four
28:23
three six eight thirty eight thirty eight. The website is Brooks Plumbing Texas dot
28:27
com. Jacqueline, I hope you're as excited for me as I am for
28:32
me when I tell you that I tightened a loose nut on my kitchen faucet.
28:36
And I'm pretty sure I'm a plumber now, right, Yeah, we
28:37
just gotta take some fingerprints and you sell your soul to the Texas State Board
28:41
of Plumbing Examiners. But this is perfect here, so everybody knows that you
28:47
let some psychos into your house and it was a monstrosity of an event.
28:52
And I heard recent I heard recently for the female listeners that you can safely
28:56
assume that if you're dating a man that has tsa pre check, he's not
28:59
a psycho because the government has done a background check on him. But for
29:03
plumbers, if they're willing, capable, and able to produce their plumbing license,
29:07
the government has done the background check on them for you, so you
29:11
can rest assured you're not letting these psychos into your house. So we just
29:15
got to get you fingerprinted, verify you're not a psycho, and you can
29:18
come to work with me. I don't have the flexibility to be a plumber.
29:21
And even just doing the little nut thing on the bottom side of that
29:23
kitchen faucet that I did, I had to try to find a way to
29:26
snake my very you know, unflexible top half up in there. I don't
29:30
know how you guys do that every day. Well, we have very specific
29:33
conversations about who can go to what jobs based on size alone, because take
29:40
into consideration, like the house that you're that you have for rent right now,
29:44
it's the fifties. I'm going to say bungalow style house in Dallas.
29:47
That crawl space isn't that big anymore. So we have conversations, Hey,
29:49
who's skinny and who's available. That's a legitimate conversation in our office on a
29:53
semi regular basis. It also sounds like conversations that I overheard in the locker
29:57
room in high school. But oh lord, the good news is you don't
30:02
have to worry about, you know, getting the wrench in your own hands.
30:04

30:49
noise I haven't heard in a while, and I've missed hearing it. And
30:52
then when you hear the noise, two you're going to say, oh,
30:55
I think, I think I know where he's going with this, and then
30:56
I also want to see if it makes you feel good too. Are you
31:00
ready? Okay? Oh, okay, I haven't heard that in a in
31:07
a hunt minute, all right, doesn't it? Oh it's funny you mentioned
31:12
hot minute, Raj, because a Melbourne Australian man has been charged with arson
31:21
and having live ducklings in his underwear simultaneously. Yes, so he's he's breaking
31:29
multiple laws at the same time. And one law does indeed include the duck
31:33
laks or he's breaking multiple records. I don't know what. I don't know
31:37
which one he's trying to do. It really could be both. An alleged
31:41
firebug Australia has always got a twist stuff and like here we just say arsonists,
31:45
but you know whatever. An alleged firebug in Melbourne's southeast was caught with
31:49
live ducklings and his underwear. That's according to police. The thirty one year
31:53
old man of was arrested on Sunday night after twelve fires were or across the
32:00
Frankston CBD over the weekend. I'm assuming that Central Business District. The small
32:06
fires included blazes in a loading dock behind a school, in a shop car
32:09
park, in a shop car park, outside of real estate agent's office,
32:14
and in several trash bins. After the arrest, police searched the man and
32:19
then allegedly found two live ducklings in his underwear. He's been charged with animal
32:27
cruelty. I don't know if the ducks were hurt in his underwear in anyway,
32:30
but still reckless conduct, endangering serious injury, four counts of lighting and
32:36
open air fire, possessing a weapon, and negligently dealing with proceeds of a
32:40
crime. And believe he's still in jail waiting for an arraignment or an attorney
32:45
or some type of visit from Australia Fish and Game. I'm sorry, but
32:54
all I can imagine this guy doing is running around starting fires and as he
32:59
lights the fire, he just screams out ducks. And I'm assuming that's how
33:07
the police were able to find him, and I'm also assuming that's where the
33:13
animal cruelty charges came from. Having having been previously previously married to in Australian,
33:21
that story not shocking. For the briefest moment I thought you were going
33:27
to say, not true. No, I'm just like par for the course.
33:32
So your ex wife also ran around with ducklings in her underwear? The
33:37
stories that you hear about some of the stuff that they or did she make
33:40
you run around with them in your underwear? No, So that's the that's
33:45
the best part. Did she set fire to something? Yes, she is
33:51
underwear. Yes. The irony of it is they call like speedos and or
33:58
like tight like like the tidy whities. They call them budgee smugglers, And
34:01
budge is a type of bird. And so I think he was living up
34:06
to the name of said underwear is why he had Now, I mean I
34:10
could be I was just trying to justify why grown man had ducklings in his
34:15
underwear. And I now know the shame of Oak Island. Ye. So
34:21
yeah. So like even if it was like Australian man fights kangaroo, I'm
34:24
like that makes sense. Australia is basically the equivalent. I mean, like
34:29
if Florida was a continent, it would be Australia. I love the people,
34:35
the friends that I've made from there, but like their story, Like
34:37
if you would tell this story to them, they'd be like, yeah,
34:40
that right, we have one of those in our town too. It's names
34:46
Steve, and I don't usually use it twice, but it just felt so
34:54
nice the first time. I figured why not and not to be outdone trade.
35:06
Do you know where this story took place? Like, do you know
35:09
a country? Yes, New Zealand, New Zealand, Okay, I thought
35:15
it was in that general vicinity, So Australia's step brother. So I don't
35:22
know if you guys are aware. Raj. You may be aware since you
35:24
were at one point married to an Australian woman. But there is a little
35:30
bit of sibling rivalry between the Aussies and the Kiwis. So New Zealand,
35:36
you know, is that little brother of Australia, and sometimes they'll do things
35:38
to also get thrown into the news, feeling left out because Australia is getting
35:43
all the attention and this may be a classic example of that. Maybe the
35:49
people in this story were jealous of the Friday Night in Australia that the one
35:53
arsonist had with the Ducklings. Because this quiz team from New Zealand Okay,
36:01
thought it'd be a good idea to dress as ku Klux Klan members at a
36:06
community fundraiser while doing a quiz game. Yeah, that sounds about right.
36:19
The men, the men, dressed in white ku Klux Klan hoods and carrying
36:23
a gasoline can attended a quiz night on August nineteenth and called their team give
36:31
us a clue? Wow, anyone else afraid to giggle at that? I
36:39
will. It is good word play, but still a terrible idea. I'll
36:45
give props on the word play, but terrible idea even around terrible idea.
36:51
The evening was held at a council meeting hall and organized by a community group
36:55
to raise money for a charity. Of course, the KKK is a clandestine
37:00
white supremacist organization from the United States which terrorized the country for many, many,
37:07
many many years. I just I really don't know if there's a better
37:13
example of what not to do than this. Is there a picture of this?
37:17
Can you have a picture of this moment? I do not link that
37:24
trace and I did not see a photo. Oh wait, yeah I believe
37:30
there is. Yeah, that is yeah, I see. I always wonder
37:37
this like I always wonder because this is when the logical side of my brain
37:40
comes out, like uh oh yeah that is wow. That saw the photo,
37:46
didn't you? Yeah? That is that is wow. I see,
37:52
this is what I was trying to say. This is the logical side of
37:53
my brain. How do you? Okay, I can see if it's like
37:59
I can't, but I can in my brain go. There's two guys going,
38:02
this is what we should do, and the other guy goes, uh
38:07
no, come on man, and the other guy goes, okay, how
38:08
do you get other people to go that is a great idea? And and
38:17
and the guy that goes, I'll bring the gas can and you're going,
38:21
okay, there's something wrong with Mike, Like that's what I'm like, like
38:29
that, how do you? I don't know how that works. I don't
38:31
know how you get a group of people to go, yes, what we've
38:36
been doing with these sheets this whole time? I'm like, when there's so
38:43
many other impractical uses, what do you were into the quiz event I just
38:51
did. Is the KKK like global now? Or were they just watching like
38:55
a bad like a mel Brooks movie and they thought, oh, this would
38:59
be funny idea of make fun of the Americans. I don't think that.
39:00
I don't think the clan is global. But stupidity is stupidity knows no boarders
39:07
And yeah, I would also And I would also like to point out that
39:13
while this is a freakishly terrible idea and a horrific thing to actually do,
39:22
like the idea of doing it is bad enough, but then the fact but
39:25
then they actually went through with it makes it even worse. Right, Yeah,
39:30
all that being said, I would absolutely watch on TV the mashup of
39:37
Jerry Springer meets Jeopardy. I would watch. I would watch that new game
39:45
show that would be the new Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? You've got
39:47
thirty million people tuning in to see, you know, the clan versus the
39:52
Black Panthers versus little versus Little People of America and everyone's fighting everyone but with
40:00
buzzers. Oh, this is the greatest Avengers endgame I've ever heard of.
40:07
I'll take, say, cheating midgets for six hundred tray tray, No,
40:13
you can't say midgets anymore, right, how dare you? Little people infidelity,
40:19
little people with infidelity for six hundred alex. That would be an amazing
40:22
category. First of all, that would but that's like, that's right next
40:27
to potent potables at that point though, with a little person buzz in and
40:31
say, actually, I think I prefer Midget Now. Be sure to follow
