  Speaker 2: Trenholm and Rebecca Black on today's show time permitting phase
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: two of the completely Wild Chase executive harassment story. And
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I know this is going to be Trey's favorite today
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: crocodile fishing, but I think it's important that we start
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: with some of the biggest news of the day of
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the week, and that is the sad demise of Spirit Airlines.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Now since our first show this week where Trey and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I lamented our dearly beloved Spirit Airlines, where look, we
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: were a fan of the Bear Fair, we were a
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: fan of being royalty on Spirit Royalty versus versus cargo
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: on Delta. Rebecca, have you ever flown Spirit Airlines?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, I have, and I am a firm believer in
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: everybody loves Spirit Airlines until they have a bad experience.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: So that means that neither of you have ever had
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: a bad experience on Spirit Airlines?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Not true? What? Not true? I've had bad experiences with
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines. But when you set the bar so freaking low,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that's a good point. You're like, well, I'm getting what
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I pay for, you know. But truth be told. The
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: reason why my wife and I started, you know, flying
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines mainly from Texas to the Virgin Islands because
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that's the one route that we trusted Spirit more than
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: anybody anywhere else. Flying around the States, Spirit was kind
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of like with everybody else, it's gonna be fifty to fifty,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: but overall had a pretty good experience flying Spirit. Other
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: airlines look, cell phone provider, cable company, airline. These are
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: all places to where the companies that run the shows
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: are mostly not loved. No, and everyone's got bad experience
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: on just about every airline. There are very few exceptions.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Same thing with you know, satellite TV providers, cell phone providers,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, like you love t Mobile
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: right now because you hated Verizon, or you're okay with
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the Verizon right now out because AT and D did
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: something to piss you'all. Yeah, but I had told Trey
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a while back that when you fly Spirit Airlines, you
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: can buy one of those big front seats mm hmm,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and you will feel like royalty on Spirit Airlines for
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: about the same price, sometimes less, maybe just a little
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: bit more than the cheap economy on all the mainstream airlines.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And at least with Spirit, I always knew what I
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: was gonna get. Like, if you want Wi Fi, You're
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: gonna pay for it, that's the way most sure. Now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: if I want to watch a movie, I'm gonna have
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to watch that from my phone that I've already downloaded
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: right on American sometimes they'll have the little screen in
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: front that you can plug in and watch their stuff.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Dude, that's money when you get one of those.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But that's the problems, that's luck.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right on every.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Spirit plan, there is no question you will not have
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a screen in front of you, so you can accordingly right.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Correct, You are correct.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: My issue though, with Spirit is that it's literally always
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: late I never left on time ever, so for me,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it was worth paying like the you know, two hundred
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: extra bucks just to get to my destination on time,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: because I don't like wasting time on vacation and sitting at.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: The airport for eight hours, that's wasting time.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I get that.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I never I think I had one flight on Spirit
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that was late. Yeah, and and and and it wasn't.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: As is, most of the time, as much as we
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: love to bitch about the airlines, most delays are a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: subject most of the time are subject of weather.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna I was really hoping you were
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: going to say, people, well, I've been through late flight
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: on stairs is because as slow as people are taking
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: their time getting on the plane.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Well, the other thing, no one realizes that flight crews
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have x amount of time they can operate right, delay
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: or not, it doesn't matter. And so once you have
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: one delay, you kick in a series of events which
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of times, let's say two legs later, where
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: normally that crew would go on for the final leg,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: they have to switch out because they've reached their maximum
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: amount of time. And so as much as we love
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to bitch about airlines, like I said, most of the time,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: not their fault, but I guess Spirit was one of them.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You knew, like you said, you knew exactly what you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: were getting, and it's kind of like you could be
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the big fish in the little pond. You pay for
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the big comfany front seat. You know, it's like a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I would say, like a business class seat, and so
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you have plenty of room, leg room, arm room, whatever
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you got. If you were in that first two or
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: three roads where you had the big seats, you got,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you got good service, yeah, uh, whatever you want.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: You're the big dog on the plane exactly.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And if you were a extra cash yeah, and if
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you were a good boy, sometimes a pilot will let
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you fly on his left.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Did he give you some wings to wear too?
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: You shared it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: So since the demise of Spirit Airlines, there's been a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: lot of chatter about it. Obviously some people waxing poetic.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I guess like us about you know, no, goodbye to
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the Spirit. But the biggest, the biggest viral response to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines going out of business is a YouTuber who
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: has come up with a grand idea to buy the airline.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Genius idea.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Spirit Airlines just from bankrupt right, I'm the guy that
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: flew Spirit Airlines for twenty four hours straight.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: There's more than two hundred and fifteen million individuals over
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: the age of eighteen in the United States. Now, if
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: we took only twenty percent of them and paid basically
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: the average fare of a Spirit Airlines flight, which is
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: somewhere around thirty to forty dollars, we could buy Spirit Airlines.
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: This is a genius idea.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Nationalized Spirit Airlines owned by the people.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: Airlines going, we make a new airthing.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Let's buy an airline. I should make it that enough
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: for this, I would like to first ask which leg
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that Spirit Airlines flew that was only thirty or forty
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: dollars for the ticket? Yeah, I never I never got
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that route.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Now, there were times I flew to Vegas, like round trip.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It was I mean a little more than that, but
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: seventy seventy five dollars, okay, because it was about one
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: fifty round trip.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I remember, Yeah, I remember seeing on a back in
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the day, the Southwest Airline like the fair sales saying
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: like forty nine or fifty dollars one way. I'm like
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: to where nowhere I want to go?
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: It's Houston. It's literally Houston every freaking time.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: No. No, So that's part one. So that's part one
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of this YouTuber named Hunter. I forget his full profile stuff,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: but I'm sure it's in here somewhere of him saying, hey,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: let's buy an airline. We can do this, Let's nationalize
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines. Genius are stupid, Let's crowdfund Spirit Airlines, Trey.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to let you go last because I have
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a feeling I know what your answer is going to be.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Rebecca is the X factor here. Rebecca, Genius are stupid,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Let's crowdfund Spirit Airlines.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: I think it's stupid.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's a good idea, but you know what,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: go ahead, YouTube guy, do your you do your worst there,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you go ahead, buy Spirit Airlines.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: You don't want to save Spirit Airlines.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I don't, I really don't.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I'm the one who's had the bad experiences on Spirit Airlines.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well I won't fly it anymore.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You're okay to be the fan helsing to the Spirit
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Airlines and you'll drive the stake right through.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: It's heard, that is correct.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I will gladly pay the extra money to fly on
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: American where I've had the majority of good experiences.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: And that's sad in and of itself.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: It is it is you have to go with the
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: least of the evils for yourself, and mine would be American.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Flying in America is just like voting in America. You're
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: choosing among the lesser of evils.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: You truly, you are.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Absolutely Trey genius, are stupid? Let's crowdfund an airline.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Tell me you don't understand business. Without telling me you
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: don't understand business, that's about to.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Be, Like, Trey, how much money are you gonna put
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: on this? Send them a check for one thousand dollars.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Right now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the official
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: tree House Trey Trenholme sound effect. I've had that sound
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: effect that is a default sound effect on this roadcaster
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: for like five years and it finally hit home. Give
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: us your reasons why owning an airline is not the
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: best business.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: That idea a bunch of people, just random people trying
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: owning an airline. No, let's you know, just start there.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Uh number two, I'm the rules. Never mind the rules, never.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Mind, Let's have a Patreon for a spirit.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, you know what, what are the guy raised like?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Potentially what like eighty million or something.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I think the last number I saw was eighty eight
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: to ninety somewhere. I mean, it's a lot of money's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: let's be honest, that they have pledged so far. But
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: you're talking about an airline that it's creditors valued at
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: just the equipment at like one point three billion.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Well so no one knew for sure, but I believe
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Spirit had about one hundred and fifty aircraft, so each
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: aircraft used whatever it's still they mainly did airbus. You're
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: probably looking at forty fifty million in aircraft, like you said,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you know, they're their equipment of the creditors valued around
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: over a billion dollars.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: So so close, guys, we're so close you.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Can get there. Come on and if you and if
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you pledged twenty five, we will give you this crowdfunded
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines coffee bag.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: As listen, I was a fan of Spirit. But here
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: here's where this really But Spirit had it, let's say,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a unique customer base. Now I say this coming from
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the bar business, do you mean.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Like redneck white trash people.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, look, Spirit Airlines, if we're being honest, was the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: R and R of airlines? Redneck and Ratchet.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Absolutely so.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But one of the you know, banes of every bartender's
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: existence is the phrase I know the owner, you really
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: want to do that with them? Airline?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Well, hang on, Treck, Just just to play devil's advocate here,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a large number of people owning a very profitable, profitable
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: entity has worked before I submit to you the Green
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Bay pack.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I mean technically, yes, you're right, but I don't know
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: that they have any say and what actually happens with
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: the Green Bay Packers.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: They just have a little ticket that they get to
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: frame at home.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and himself is pretty smart, but yeah, that's that's
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the only thing I got trade.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just yeah, it's then, and but it also it
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: has a separate management group. And yes, you you own
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a piece of the Packers, which basically means you own
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: some seats. And but yeah, you don't get you're not
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: making the They don't crowd source and vote on the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: who's the first round draft pick or who should be
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: traded or anything else. So we we that ownership base
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: stays out of operations. Yeah, exactly, how is this deal
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: going to be structured?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: All right, So let's get back to the spirit crowdfunding thing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: That that that no one inside the tree has seems
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to be on board with for various reasons. Uh so,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Trey pick up where you left off.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So you know, when when people want to torque the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: aisle and you, you know, say hey, please sit down,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, I own this bitch.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I could see that being a paradoxical problem.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, a very big one.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, we could make it a reality show. I
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: would watch that right when.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, if we're being on a spared airlines, it already.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Is right, right, So let's make it a reality show.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Let's show the crowd funded ownership now and how this
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: all plays out.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: That's an enjoyable experience.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And and and when said crowdfunding funded ownership is in
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a big hurry, and so then they tell the pilot
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and the ground crew and screw all those inspections. Let's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: get this bitch up up out of here. Yeah, you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: so you ultimately that reality show, you need to have
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: some you know, some of the cameras and some of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the recording devices in black boxes, because that's where it's
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: gonna end.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Now, let's go to part two of the genius or
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: stupid idea of crowdfunding Spirit Airlines. This is from the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: same Oh actually hang on the same guy who is
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: a YouTuber. His name is Hunter. He did a couple
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of videos. He did a couple of video updates on this,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: trying to tell people that hey, this is a good
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: idea I have. Let's all work together, you know, to
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: make this happen. So here we go. So if I
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: can get here part two, it won't do it. Hang on,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, we are back.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: Let's buy spirit air.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Dot com because the main domain totally messed up, so
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: we just got a new one.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: We're back, We're live.
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: Let's do this.
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: You me, a bunch of our friends.

• 15:04
  Speaker 8: else that we're serious. Also, stop using my dad headshots
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: in like articles. And I'm not talking to anyone on
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: TV or anything like that now. If you want to
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: hear from me, it will be on social until I
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: talk to my lawyers.
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: Have a good Sunday.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, We.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: Are Aaron dot com.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you Hunter from Thank you Hunter from YouTube who
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: wants to be the new CEO of Spirit Airlines and
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: wants to crowdfund him, which I have to give credit
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to his look here because he's channeling clearly two of
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: his role models in Steve Jobs and that throwback photo
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: of Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: All Oh my god, Yeah, he's missing the gold chain
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: for that.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean he's got the necklace, it's just not gold.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: So it really does look like this is the love
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: child of Dwayne the Rock Johnson's throwback photo and Apple's
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Steve Jobs.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, what I really loved about this second update video
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: was they haven't even bought the airline yet and they've
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: already messed up.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: They didn't get the website right.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: This just like is showing exactly what is to come
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: if they buy it.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: It's very very possible. And keep in mind, you know
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: this right here is why legitimacy matters to me, and
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: in whatever you do. It's like to me, you don't
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: have a legitimate business if you don't have a functioning
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: website that looks professional. Same thing with like a social
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: media kind of if you don't have the if you
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: can't get that stuff right, if you can't get your
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: business card right, then I'm not going to trust you
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: to do anything that you claim to do on it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's just the fact that it's just pledges.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not real money's yet.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah that is Uh, you're just as ssking for people
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to get drunk and go, oh yeah, I'm in for
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a thousand and then yeah, uh, let's and then when
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: it comes on, it's like if you know you've ever
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: been to a charity, they just silent auction. It's like, oh, yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: someone build you know, did two thousand call? But no,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: that wasn't me.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Uh, that was a joke. Bid, I don't really have that.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I thought we were guessing the price.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: No, if he was at least realistic and goes, we
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: would need to at least raise one point five billion
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: dollars because the shareholders, you know, the government offered five
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: hundred million for nine so and they turned it down
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: knowing that if they liquidated the airlines they would get
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: more money than that. Right, So you're gonna at least
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: need and and and and there's this little thing called
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: operating capital, so you got to pay people and be
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: able to buy the fuel and everything else. So yeah,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: let's uh, sometime like the same thing with evolution and
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: some animals just go extinct. It was spirits time, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: let's not uh.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: It had a good run, you know, it really did.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: And look, it's a nice thought to crowdfund an entire
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: airline and maybe, maybe, just maybe, is it mean? Hang on,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: let me finish my thought, Trindholm, it's a nice thought.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: It's a nice gesture to want to save the down
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: trodden business.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Winning the lottery is a nice thought.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yes it is. Yeah, both both can be true at
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the same time. Trade. By the way, if if we
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: all won the lottery enough money, then maybe we could
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: also waste a bunch of money on an airline. But
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say is it's a nice thought
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: to crowdfund and get this airline off the ground literally
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: and back to flying. Problem is, though, is when the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: coin slots pop out of the seats in order for
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: you to have enough money to actually make it to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: your destination. Because that may be a legitimate thing, it's like, everybody,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: we got it off the ground, ooh, we forgot to
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: pay the flight attendant, the pilot, the co pilot, the
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: grounds crew, the baggage guys. To mess up your stuff.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: The maintenance. Dude, if anyone wants any delivery, you gotta
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: pay for the solution.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, let me stop you right there. Okay,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: here's where this this derails. It's like the scene from
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Airplane when the guy comes up to the pilot's window
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and hands him the old credit card slip after getting
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: passed up. Is he's gonna have the pilot's gonna have
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to turn to the crowd, go hey, everybody, time to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: kick in.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: It's like, don't make me turn this plane around. You
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: want to get to Miami, you gotta cough up the money.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what it was gonna be like.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: So now let's explore part three of this adventure of
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: crowdfunding Spirit Airlines from our buddy Hunter who is who
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: is the chief executive officer? Want to be?
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: From YouTube Paterson, potential future CEO of Spirit Airlines insane News. Okay,
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: I just got off two calls, one with one of
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: the largest law firms in the world that specialize in
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: mergers and acquisitions, aviation, the stress assets in debt and
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: they basically said, this is doable, we can do this.
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: I also got off.
• 20:23
  Speaker 12: A call with someone that represents high net worth individuals
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: who may be interested in just basically giving us some
• 20:31
  Speaker 12: money to just burn. To figure out the legality of this,
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: because in less than a week's time they are going
• 20:38
  Speaker 12: to auction off the operation certificate for Spirit. We don't
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: have a ton of time, and I need to figure
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: out a way not to raise money. I can't take
• 20:48
  Speaker 12: any money from anyone, but I can take on angel
• 20:51
  Speaker 12: investment from high networth individuals. So Mark Cuban, what's up, man,
• 20:56
  Speaker 12: get in my DMS right now, or any high networth
• 20:58
  Speaker 12: individual who's still like, yeah, I've got half.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: A million or three quarters of a million dollars, just burn.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: You want to burn, you want to try and save
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: this airline? Get them my I DMS.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Let's make this out.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: And to be so so clear, if we take on
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: this money, they don't have any more voting right than
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: anyone else. I'm going to be so clear of you're
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: doing this to burn money, yes, to prove it can happen.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: I will not take a single cent if someone wants to,
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: in some way, shape or form.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Put control over this, not not having this. We're doing
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: this because we're doing something different.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: If someone's gonna get involved that it's really, really wealthy.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It's because they see the vision.
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: See the value and want to be a partner.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, bye, No, it's a note for me on Shark take.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Number one. I love the fact that he got off
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the phone with one of the largest aviation You know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: companies specialize in M and A and what are they
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: of course they're interested. What are they charge per hour?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Probably fifteen hundred two thousand dollars an hour. They would
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: love to explore this idea with you.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's until you have no money.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: And of course they said it's doable. Anything doable. If
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: you have enough money, they will say that, like sure,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: you bring you bring money to this table, we will
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: make it happen.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, And keep.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: In mind, while Mark Cuban is insanely wealthy, he is
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: not buy all of Spirit Airlines by himself necessarily wealthy. Now,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: if Elon feels like wasting more billions of his money,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I feel like a couple of billion for Spirit Airlines
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: might have been better spent than forty four on Twitter.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: But that's just my thought on it. The interesting side
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: of what this guy said, and I think it was
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: in his first video that we didn't get all of
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: was everyone would then pledge money to buy Spirit Airlines,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: but everyone gets the same number of votes. You pledge
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: a dollar, you get one vote. You pledge one hundred
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: million dollars, you get one vote. The difference would be
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: on the investment is on the back end. His proposal
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: would be, while everyone has the same voting rights, your
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: percentage would then depend on how much money you invested
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: should the airline turn any sort of a profit.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: But didn't he just say in the last video that
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: if you were going to come in and try to like.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Make decisions and suggestions that he did not want you.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Well, now that's just it. He's like, you can you
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: can throw you know, one hundred million dollars at this
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: to help us explore this as a possibility. But you
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: get the same vote as Tracy in Topeka does for
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: having thrown in five bucks.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he also it's just careless the future CEO.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, which at least I tell you.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Please tell me your qualifications, because at this point I
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: would rather dig up herb kellerher to run Spirit than
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: have him do it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I would absolutely throw one hundred dollars at zombie herb
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Keller her to run Spirit Airlines before a YouTuber who
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: flew Spirit for twenty four hours for views.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because at least you know, with HERB they'll be
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: serving wild turkey and you know Marboroughs.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Sorry, at least we won't die with Herb.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Probably YouTube guy good So True.

• 26:55
  Speaker 2: We're going to start with a dead celebrity today. Yeah,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Orson Wells. If he were still alive, he would be
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eleven years old, but he's not. He's
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: passed away. Considered to be one of Hollywood's finest directors,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: having made what many believed to be is Hollywood's finest
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: film in Citizen Kane, yet most of us have not
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: seen it, nor do we want to.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: I've seen it. I hated it.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I've actually seen it. I had to see it for
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: my movie watching Slash Theater four class in high school.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Mine was in collegere you have you witnessed Citizen Kane?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Do you know the origins the meaning of Rosebud?
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Can I spoil it for you?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Please?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: It's a stupid sled. It's a stupid effing sled.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: It's it's not just a shut up.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: It's sled.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: It's stupid. It's so stupid.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: It's what the sled represents, its childhood, and Citizen's lost.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: The sled is Rosebud.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: The fact that he could become this media magnet and
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: still and have all still love that stupid sled money
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: in the world, but it couldn't buy him Rosebud back.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Stupid, stupid movie. Still bitter about it, clearly.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: So there you go, Trey. If if you ever want
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: to do a Treehouse review of Citizen King, obviously Rebecca
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: will not.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Be Oh I'll join.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: We will not allow Rebecca to be there.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: You go, smarter, move there.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Other birthdays today, baseball legend Willie May's ninety five. Now
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: my service here doesn't say whether or not he is
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: actually deceased, so I mean he is still alive, which
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's right.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think he is either. Are we all googling
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: it now?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: But if he is, he is ninety five years old today.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: No, he died in twenty twenty four.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Oh so close, I mean still, I mean so close.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: He made it to like, you know, ninety three, Yeah,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: pretty good. So a happy deceased birthday to Willie Maes
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: now for some living birthdays. If this is accurate, Former
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister of England Tony Blair is seventy three today. Actress.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I think she's still acting. I'm not sure. Gabori cd
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Bay is forty three. She was the one that broke
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: onto the scene in the Precious movie that Oprah put out,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: and then she did a couple of smaller films or
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: smaller roles in other films after that than.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: An American horror story, a couple of seasons.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, she is forty three today, and probably the big
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: name birthday today is George Clooney. George Clooney is sixty
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: five years old, also sometimes known as mister Amal that's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: his wife. Anyway, George is sixty five today. It's funny
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: because I saw I think it was on Facebook. There
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: was a video from the screen rant account where he
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: was doing an interview talking about him and Brad Pitt
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: coming in and growing up in Hollywood kind of around
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: the same time. I think he was around earlier than Brad,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: but they were both up for that role in Thelma
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: and Louise that Brad Pitt eventually got.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Really, George Clooney's telling the story about how he didn't
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: watch Thelmlan Louise for years because he was so butt
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: hurt about losing that role to Brad Pitt. Huh, And
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: then he said, and then once he eventually watched the movie,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: he saw how perfect Brad Pitt was for it, and
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: he couldn't be mad any longer. And it kind of
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: worked out the way it was supposed to for everybody.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: It ended up being a springboard thing for Brad Pitt.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: George Clooney, his role in Roseanne wasn't exactly the springboard
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: role he had maybe hoped it was going to be,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: but then he you know, then then he's in the
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: yar and things kind of worked out for both of them.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: But I'm always fascinated to hear about success stories and
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: people just think that sometimes people were just overnight successes
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: when in reality, man, they were struggling for a long time.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: There's a few examples of that that I know of,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: and there's tons of them overall, but there's a few
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I know of that stick in my brain. George Clooney's
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: a really good because he had a little bit of
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: success in TV early with Roseanne, and then nothing for
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: a while. Then he lands er and then he becomes
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: pretty big, right. Yeah. Jeremy Renner is one of my
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: favorite examples. So I don't think he was necessarily a
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: child star, at least not to me. But he was
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: in one of the National Lampoons movies, High School Trip,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I think is what it was. So he was the
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: star in that movie, which I love. That movie. By
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the way, have either of you seen it?
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: I don't think I have. I don't even think I've
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: heard of it until you just now mentioned.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: So it's a high school trip. I think they're supposed
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: to be going to Washington, d C. Do you remember
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Max Headroom?
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the actor that played Max Headroom is an
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: actor named Matt Frewer. He was in it as like
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: the principal or one of the chaperones of this trip.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: So it's Jeremy Renters in this, one of the guys
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: from Kids in the Hall. It's gonna sound really weird
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: to hear me out. He has lost him His character
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: is he has lost himself thinking he is Captain Kirk
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: from the Starship Enterprise and he's taking his oh her
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: a blow up doll with him chasing this high school
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: bus trip across the country. This may need to be
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: on our list of films to watch, Trey, it.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Sounds really bad.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Anyway, the point of the story is Jeremy Render thought
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: he hit paydirt in National Lampoon's high school trip didn't
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: really pan out. Then he goes on and he's doing
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: like kind of like Harrison Ford did, which is a
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: great example as well, doing construction work, like like Jeremy
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Owner is like helping like with his family construction business
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: or something as a contractor. And then he ends up
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: in hurt Locker, ends up in hurt Locker, and then
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: that throws him straight into the Marvel universe after that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm always fascinated by really cool, you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: come up stories in Hollywood. So happy birthday, George Clooney,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: he's sixty five. What is it, Trey? I know that.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Look, your your knowledge of crappy movies is just it's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: second to none. Yeah.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I thought I was like a movie person, and then
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: I met Dan who is level one thousand movie buff.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: You know all of the obscure ones, bad ones, Okay,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: bad ones.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: It just especially the bad ones. I had a rough
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: childhood and what is no doubt Trey's favorite story of
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the day. What happens in South Africa when you need
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: to retrieve human remains from a crocodile tummy, Well, what
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: you do, apparently what you do is you get yourself
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: a police officer and a helicopter and then you take
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: that police officer and you tie to align attached to
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: the helicopter and you dangle that officer into crocodile infested waters.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: And that's how you get crocodile fishing.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: And he pulls said crocodile up he did. If there
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: weren't video for this, I would absolutely, you know, go
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: all right, this is complete BS.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: And here it is. This is straight from the South
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: African Police Service. An office ser is hoisted into crocodile
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: infested waters to recover human remains. And you can see
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the line dangling from the helicopter. This looks like like AI.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: At the very bottom of the line, you have a
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: crocodile dangling by its neck, and in between the crocodile
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: and the helicopter it's the officer just kind of hanging
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: out with it. I mean, what do you have to
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: do to be the officer that gets selected to be
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: dangled into crocodile infested waters from a helicopter.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: You're the new guy, just hired, fresh out of the academy.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: But also.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Why that's my thing?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Why? Well, my other question is how did they know
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: it was this crocodile?
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Valid point.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: I am glad you asked, Trey. I can give you
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: some of those answers that you seek.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: First off, had a septum piercing.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Actually, no authorities believe the remains found in the animals
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: and testines belonged to a fifty nine year old businessman,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Gabriel Batista, who went missing in the area. He was
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: swept away by raging floodwaters. They're still waiting on DNA
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: analysis to confirm the identity. However, there are some clues
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: here and reasons why they did this. First of all,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: this was not a new officer. This was not an
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: officer that drew the short straw. This is Captain Johann Puttgeiter.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: He carried out the highly dangerous and complex operation at
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: the Kamadi River in South Africa. He was lowered by
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: rope from a helicopter to secure and retrieve the animals
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: suspected of consuming the remains of a missing person. Defeat
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: that was captured by footage and shared by police. This
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: is where it gets kind of gruesome. When authorities eventually
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: sliced up and the crocodile's grotesquely swollen belly. That's how trey,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: that's how they knew this was probably the crocodile. What
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: they said was that they were in this crocodile infested
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: waters downstream of where the man that had gone missing
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: they suspected of being. And when the helicopter started lowering
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the officer down, this was the only crocodile that did
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: not immediately slip into the river and try to go away.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: This one was so swollen and so full it didn't
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: bother to move. That's where they were like, we think
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: this might be our culprit.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: I feel like this is body shaming to the alligator.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, what if he's just lazy and a little
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: chunky and overweight and slow and then they kill him
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: and he's got nothing inside.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Come on, that's rude.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Well, while I appreciate your angle and your thought that
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: it's not fair to stereotype this swolden bell, but the
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: fact that they found a finger with the missing man's
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: ring attached to it, along with part of a torso,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: an arm, and a couple of feet. They're pretty sure
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: they found the culprit. Also, also in the belly of
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: this crocodile were six other pairs of shoes that did
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: not belong to the missing man.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, you know, was there a
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: pair of sketchers in there or something?
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: These are my riverwalkers.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Dude has been after it. I'm kind of impressed.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, and obviously he got it. He got a
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: taste for it. If he's got of unrelated shoes in
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: addition to the guy, I mean, that's just that's just
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: damn terrifying prose.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: There wasn't a shoelace hanging out the alligator's ass.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I think I think that might have been the other clue.

  Speaker 2: That's it. That's very simple. Back inside the Treehouse, Dan
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Trey and Rebecca Rebecca, are you familiar with the lurid
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: wild story of twenty twenty six that involves two Chase
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Bank employees in a very troubling harassment case?
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I am not aware.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Oh goodie. So over the weekend a story broke about
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: how one male Chase executive former accused another Chase executive
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: that he claimed was his boss of sexual harassment, retaliation,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: threatening his job, forcing him into lurid sex acts, and
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: in one part of his complaint alleged that she told him,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I bet your Asian fish head wife doesn't have these
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: canons as she you know, touched herself.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: That's very informative.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: That's actually kind of the softer portion of that complaint,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: believe it or not.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, Now, when this story came out, the guy
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: who was making the complaint was described as John Doe,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: which is kind of how his standard when someone's making
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: these types of claims, you get to remain anonymous. And
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: it named the other Chase executive that he said was
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: threatening him and forcing him to do all these things.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I'm now referring to her as Sally, which is not
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: her name, because Chase did an internal review, came back
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: and realized this is all bull. This guy made all
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: of this up. It appears his attorneys that filed it
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: pulled it, they said, for clarification in their filing, and
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: then eventually just deleted the thing. Chase tried verifying all
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: of this stuff, and the guy who made the initial
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: complaint wouldn't even participate in the in his own investigation.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: So based on their internal investigation, they realized this is
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: all crap and we're not going forward with any of this. Meanwhile,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: this poor female executive life is pretty much ruined, and
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: this guy had left already to go to some other
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: financial institution.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: Eh.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: There, here's another little piece of the story. Three months
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: prior to this suit and him leaving, he claimed that
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: his father died, so he was on a bereavement leave
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: for three months, which kudos to Chase for giving someone
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: three months. And then the New York Post reached out
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: and actually talked to his father, who is not in
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: fact dead.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Wow, I bet it was. Well as if all of
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: that isn't juicy enough already, wait, if I may quote
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Matt Lillard in Scream, But wait, there's more.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: There's more.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Former JP Morgan banker Chara you Raina files new wild
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: claims against the executive, including a lured threesome invitation. Just
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: days after going viral with fabricated sex slave allegations.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: He doubled down.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: He'd he really did. He has filed what he claims
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: his new evidence against He has filed what he claims
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: is new evidence supporting his sex abuse allegations against Chase
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: executive Sally, including one anonymous friend who claimed he was
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: invited over for a threesome. He word there, anonymous anonymous.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: H and actually not more than friend a cousin.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Oh see it just every reason into the place here
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: for this guy. Yeah. The anonymous cousin witness statements contained
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: details from quotes and describe a lleged encounters with Sally.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: In September twenty four, the lawsuit, which J. P. Morgan
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: insists is entirely fabricated, suddenly reappeared in Manhattan Supreme Court
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: docket on Monday after it was filed and then quickly
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: pulled last week. The lawsuit quickly rose to viral infamy
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: due to lurid claims against Sally, who was accused of
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: turning Raina into a sex slave. They've hit back hard
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: against those claims. Multiple sources told The Post of JP
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Morgan's internal probe, which reviewed emails, records and devices, found
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: zero evidence wrong doing. Sally cooperated fully while Raina did not.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: M Post also reported Monday that Raina apparently lied to
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: the bank about his father dying Thank You Trey, so
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: he could collect paid leave and apparently use the time
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: off to prepare the bombshell lawsuit against Sally and his employer,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: despite sources saying he used time off for bereavement. The
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Post found his father alive and well on Sunday. In
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: the new filing. One alleged witness, who appears to be
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: a cousin of Raina's, says he was staying at an
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: apartment while visiting New York City and was woken up
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Sally's drunken antics in the middle of the night. He
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: attempted to go back to sleep, but a completely naked,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Sally woll come on. She sat on the couch he
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: was sleeping on, lit a cigarette and began begging him
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: to join them in the bedroom. Despite refusing several times,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: the mystery witness claims Sally told him, you know I
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: own that guy Raina, so you'd better come join. After
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: she returned to the bedroom, the anonymous witness claims he
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: could hear Raina pleading no, no, no, you have to leave.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to do this. Please do Then Sally,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: according to this, left the apartment later that night, and
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: a stunned Raina emerged, sharing his story of how Sally
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: constantly harassed him and forced him to engage in sexual
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: behavior with her on a number of occasions. He allegedly
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: recalled that she threatened him with trouble if he didn't comply,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: and reiterated his concern that miss Sally was blackmailing. And
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: this also came the affirmation all So claims witnessing Sally
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: to be handsy with rain at a concert for DJ
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Kigo at the Barkley Center earlier that month. The other
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: anonymous affirmation, seemingly from the owner of the apartment where
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: the family friend was saying claims he saw Sally kissing
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Raina's neck on the street sometime during the summer of
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: twenty four, and in September twenty four she overheard them
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: entering her apartment building, recalling that Sally had said something
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: that sounded like I own you, brownie.
• 46:33
  Speaker 9: These are very specific details, yes, in these allegations, but
• 46:39
  Speaker 9: JP Morgan and Sally rightfully say this is all bullshit, Like.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: I appreciate the link that he went to with all
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: the details and such, but you put your efforts in
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: the wrong places, Like if you're gonna say you have
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: a dead dad, make sure he's dead.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Say Yeah, if you say you have a witness, you
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: can't leave the witness be it can't be anonymous and
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: related to you.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Again, I feel like we're getting I feel like we're
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: getting the C C level of I'm Larry. This is
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: my cousin Darryl, my other cousin Darryl. They they all
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: were attacked by this JP Morgan Chase executive named Sally,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: and the things that she forced them to do to
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: her are just unspeakable.
• 47:32
