  Speaker 2: Trade Trendholme and Rebecca Black coming up on the show today.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Florida is crazy, but Utah is making a run at
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: it in its own way.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Aren't they always.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I feel like this Utah thing seems like it's it's
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a newer development.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: No, it's I think it just Utah has always been crazy.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: It's just it gets more pr these days.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, So with social media, I means for that, there's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: something blame. Yeah, we'll get into that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Before the The Mormon cults in and of themselves are batshit, absolutely,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and they've that's been going on for yeah decades. Yeah,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I mean you can go back to I mean, there's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: one documentary about the shootings. You know, they blood feud
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: between like two brothers who were you know, both wanted
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to be the prophet and the slaughter and killing and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: exile to Mexico and it's.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: And then we gave them a reality show on TLC.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Well, there was one, uh one Netflix documentary about this
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: woman who basically turned herself into a prophet. And then
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: there was this other Utah family that had their own
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel with like, you know, quarter million subscribers about
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: parenting and everything else. And then the wife is you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the prophet tells the husband, oh, you need to just
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you know, stay away, and it's like.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: What are you and the wife doing? What do you
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: do with the kids.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It turns out like one of the kids finally escaped
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and had infections and wounds.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And just so Utah coming from Florida's title that is
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: coming up.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Today great place to live, beautiful, gorgeous, gorgeous.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful, Like Trey said, it's a beautiful area, especially
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: if you're a wandering, abused child looking for it. In
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a head to head battle, no one saw coming Sidney
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Sweeney versus only fans models.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: But I think it's.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Important that we uh start with some of the biggest
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: news that continues to come out of Hawaii. On yesterday's show,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we talked about the jackass throwing the rocks at the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: endangered Hawaiian monk seal in Hawaii. Rightfully, so, his name
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: is Igor something, thirty seven year old douchebag from Seattle
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and then the beatdown he got from an environmental activist
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: immediately after. So there's a little more to that story.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Part two to the Hawaiian monk seal beat down, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that is from a local Hawaiian official recognizing the environmental
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: activists' efforts to protect what is Hawaii's.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Video of the monk seal that almost got hit by
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: the rock from the tourists who threw it. If you
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: didn't here it is again. And we've all seen, or
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: some of us have seen environmental activists. I like to
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: call him who took matters into his own hands to
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: educate what might happen if you mess with our land
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: or the animals. And our attorney over here wants to
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: make it clear we don't condone violence.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And I love as the video hands over to the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Hawaiian attorney with the text underneath it saying we don't
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: condone violence. But the face on this attorney clearly loves it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: She's not condoning it from a legal perspective, from a
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: human and Hawaiian perspective, she's here for it, here for
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: all of it, because she's not the only one in
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that room. I mean, I feel all of us here
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: inside the treehouse can also agree that while I go
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: through rocks, he caught hands and we all applaud his efforts.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: The environmental activists.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And in the Venn diagram of things, there are very
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: few things where if you put Texas and Hawaii together,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they're going to intersect.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: This is going to be the one. We're right here
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: We're in the circle, We're in the crossover.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So like in you know, because like in Texas
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we have our Gonzales canon, you know, come and take it.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: In Hawaii it's the Monk seal.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You know. I think if you have someone saw you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: actually do you know, abusing an animal here that I'd
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: like to think that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, hell, I'd like to hear you just get shot.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: It'll it'll at least a goo'll beat down, Yeah, at
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the flat a little pistol whipping.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: You are the worst kind of human if you're picking
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: on something that is completely defenseless.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially when the douchebag in question who's throwing rocks
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: at this sealed was recorded in the video saying I
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: don't care, I'm rich, find me with whatever you want.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: So they kind of are going to do that in
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a let me, let me uh so, he faces fines
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of up to fifty thousand dollars and potential criminal charges
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: carrying up to five years in prison. I for one feel, yes,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: please throw the book at him. Same but I'm vengeful.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think that goes quiet far enough, especially when
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: he's already admit there's video evidence of him doing this.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: He has not denied doing it. In fact, he basically
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: said I did it. Find me whatever you want. I'm rich, okay.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I have a number of ideas. The first of which is,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: all right, money bags, the first part of your punishment
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: will be, because you are so wealthy, is to establish
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and pay for a college scholarship, an annual college scholarship
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: for local students to go to college to study marine
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: biology with a specific emphasis on the protection and research
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: of the Hawaiian monk seal.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I can get on board with that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: No, no, what would you do?
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Let him go to jail? I'm talking, Oh, well, excuse me,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: let him go to jail.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling the monk seal thing would be
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: very similar to like being a child predator, and I'm
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a feeling some jail time will absolutely be.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: The worst nightmare of his life. Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I don't object to your your scholarship idea, but let's
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: not sell short on the on the prison time.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I assumed that Dan's punishments were in addition to the
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: prison sentence of five years.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I said step one, money bags, like
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm in full support of also going to prison. Yeah,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I also want to exploit how wealthy you claim to be.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: So let's take your bank account out for a spin.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: That seal was fenced in because she had just given birth.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Oh that makes it even worse a seal.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that makes this guy a bigger pos Yes,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: so let's go back to believe it's a state senator
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: or the local Hawaiian official. Brendan Awa.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: We did make a letter of recommend recognition for mister
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Ambassador of Aloha. I know everybody's trying to keep him anonymous.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: The Ambassador of Alohas is the kid who's trying to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: help the suspect through that fence. And I do like
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: how they are trying to keep the guy's identity anonymous.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Who was the defender of Hawaii. Another idea I had
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: was there are a number of Hawaiian defenders that we
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: could have line up to also help this man through
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: a fence, the first of which would be Dwayne the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Rock Johnson.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's literally who I was thinking.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Of, followed very closely by WWE's Roman Reigns, or honestly,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: at this point, even a buff Mark Zuckerberg will have
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a spot in line because he owns a good chunk
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: of Hawaii. Just just a whole bunch of people in
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a line ready to show this guy the proper way
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to go through a fence.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: In Hawaii, one after another.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And here's something that is no surprise to me, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be a surprise to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: you Tred or you Rebecca, because we are all animal
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: lovers here, and some of the people on this planet
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: we hate the most are those that abuse animals, and unfortunately,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: we've all had experience with that, covering various stories in
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: our broadcast careers. So I know that there are people
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: out there that do not hold animals in the same
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: regard that we do. And of course they are going
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to rear their ugly heads in these scenarios, and they're
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: going to try to do it with an air of superiority. Right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Here is one such example. On an account I saw
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: a guy commented on a video of this Hawaiian seal
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: beat down. I get it to come up here. The
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: guy says on the comment, so it's okay to allow
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: violence over some damn animal. The first response back to him, Yes.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: The next one is Patrick from SpongeBob, drioling like an idiot,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: also in support of yes. And this to me is
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a very stark reminder. It is an important lesson to learn.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Not everyone believes what you believe. Okay, what you may
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: think is no big deal may in fact be the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: biggest deal to somebody else. So you may think it's
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: not okay to have more violence because of a guy
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: throwing rocks at a seal, whereas I believe, and Trey believes,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I think, and Rebecca probably believes as well, that you
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: should catch more hell for it because you are taking
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: this violence to what is, in essence a defenseless animal.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: So it's again, this is one of those things I've
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: been on for years that just because you may live
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: by a certain standard doesn't require anybody else to live
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: by that same standard. Just because you think it shouldn't
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: be a big deal. To throw rocks at animals. I
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: may think it's no big deal to drown you.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you harm children are animals for your own amusement.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I mean I think you should just be put to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: death or at the very least in this day and age,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know why we can't find an island and
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: just make a hell of a reality show of you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: if you win the competition and you survive, you're the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: only one standing, you'll get in a minimal security prison.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I thank you for saying a minimal security person and
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: not like freedom. Yeah, no, no, no, you don't get freedom,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: no matter or how how much you win.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: No, you're f in the scenario, matter what. And that
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: was another thought I had. I love your idea, Trey,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: A similar idea I had at three am during my
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: three am thoughts. This morning was after the establishment of
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the scholarship right, multiple annual Right, so there's going to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: be numbers of students, yes.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, for years, years on years.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Ideally generations is prison for a while and then maybe
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you know, put him in a raft and then just
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: shove him out into the middle of this of the Pacific,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: off the coast of Hawaii and say good luck, sir,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: or please look this is this is a safe space
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: for ideas.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: We have this notion about seals that they're sweet kind,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: but they're actually pretty mean.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: The other option is let him.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Go, you know, put him in one of these where
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you see the pictures of there's like a thousand seals gathered.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Put him in the middle of that, yeah, swimming around
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: in the ocean. Let's see if maybe they want to
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: feed upon.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Him and cover him in mackerel guts.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: What the most damage there right on his bubbles, No,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: no need for mackerel guts. Just about thirty well placed
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: incisions in his skin. So he's just bleeding out in
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the ocean.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: So if anyone has any you know, thoughts about who
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the most sadistic individual is inside the tree house, I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: think you have an idea that I thought it was
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: just like, oh yeah, yes, how about a nice swim, sir.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: It is though it really doesn't. It drives me absolutely crazy,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: and this is a similar thing. And not to dredge
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: something that's even worse, although that's technically what I'm doing.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I remember being on the radio on sports radio when
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Michael Vick's situation was happening. Yeah, and there were countless
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: people you know, ah, it's no big deal, blah blah
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: blah about what he did, or even people you know saying, oh,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: he deserves a second chance. Just because you think that
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean I do. And I think that's an important
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: thing that most people can't seem to grasp just because you,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in a comment on social media thinks that what this
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: guy did isn't that bad or he didn't deserve to
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: get his ass beat afterwards, It doesn't matter what you believe.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: All that mattered in that moment was I gore the
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: douchebag made a choice to do something, and somebody else
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: made a choice to do something. It just happens that
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: their two things are vastly different, even.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: If you don't believe in violence for violence or whatever.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: The dude in his video basically said, look what I'm doing,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: come at me, bro, which opened the invitation for whatever
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: comes back on him. And if that was a massive
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: beating by a Hawaiian local, so be it. You asked
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: That's actually interesting because like, I don't know if they're
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: actually going to, you know, charge the environmental activist at
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: all in this. They may have to by the level
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: of law, at which point you can easily say, like,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: we request a jury trial of his local peers.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Easy, But if they even really needed any sort of
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: an actual defense. Go with Rebecca's where the guy is like,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I don't care, you can't do it to me, and
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: then it's like, you're right, and it does kind of
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: open the door to the only thing I'm going to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: respond to is getting my ass beat people. And so
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: what do you do? You beat his ass? YEP, I've
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: not heard from the Igor guy at all. I don't
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: know Trey or Rebecca if you've seen any statement or
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: anything come out of his camp.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: What's he gonna say?
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Really, he has no defense here. He cannot win this situation,
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: I don't think in any way, shape or form.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: But we're talking about a guy who, after he is
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: told he's been recorded throwing rocks at an endangered animal,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: he says, I don't care. Find me. I'm rich, I
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: can afford it. I would love to hear him say
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: something else, because I'm sure he's got more to say,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: and I, for one, would like to open that for him, like.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Double down, please double down, Please double down. He's gonna
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: double He's gonna double down.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. Even if he was to come
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: out and say, you know what, I was wrong or
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: done it, I'm not gonna believe it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: No, not at all.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: No. So that's why I'm curious to see if he
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: would in fact say something.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: The fact he hasn't.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I am assuming he at least is has enough money
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: that he's hired a good defense attorney who has told
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: him shut the f upa that Nope, nope, don't talk.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Shut up.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Although it would be fitting if the environmental active has
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: hit him so hard, I'm sorry, not hit him, because
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that didn't happen. Uh, you guided him through that fence
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: in such a fashion that his mouth needs to be
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that his jaw needs to be wired shut.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: He all fell We saw it, right, he fell through
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: the fence.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: You gotta be careful when you went and look. Look,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: it's tricky.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Walking around with like rocks in Hawaii. I've been. It's hard.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: It's different when you go from sand to normal ground
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: and there's a fence in the way. I mean, Hawaiian
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: fences are just they're different than state side fences.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Tricky.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, they'll punch you in the face repeatedly, and they
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: really should come with some sort of warning.
• 18:00

  Speaker 2: Trey and Rebecca. Today is Wednesday, May thirteenth, twenty twenty six.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Let's celebrate today with some birthdays one person that did
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: not have to see the Iboor guy throw rocks at
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the Hawaiian monk Sieald is Stevie Wonder and he is
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: seventy six today.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Ah, that's debatable.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: That is one of the great all time conspiracy theories.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Please share, Rebecca, Oh, one of.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: My absolute favorites that Stevie Wonder is not actually blind
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: and there is video evidence on YouTube of him catching
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: a microphone. I do not think your sixth sense is
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: that good.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I have seen enough Ninja movies in my lifetime to
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: know that it is possible from Hollywood to be able
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to catch things despite being blind.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, So number two evidence is he got on an
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: elevator with Shaq. Shack has told this story and he
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: was like, hey, Shaq, what's up. How would he know
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: that Shaq is on the elevator when he gets on,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Shaq had not spoken to the man.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe someone whispered in his ear. There's Shaquille O'Neil is
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: in the elevator.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: It could have been. I'm just saying, Shack all the story.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Shaq can tell that story all he wants. I find
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: fault in the believability of the story period, because I
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: don't think Shaquille O'Neil can fit in a standard size elevator.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: I mean he might not. It was he crouched in
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: the corner. We don't know.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: You'd have to be right. And look, I think, look,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I am not a conspiracy theorist at all, but but
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the Stevie Wonder thing has legs. I think it's hysterical.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's true. I don't know, but time permitting,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: we may have a story later today that shows it
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: is possible to get away with faking blindness for a
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: period of time. The difference is though, with Stevie Wonder,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: no pun intended. The man's been in the public eye
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: his entire life.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Right, so he started as a child, is what I'm hearing.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: So you're saying he's just really practiced.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, he's so good at it now it's like second nature.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I just are there any other examples you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: can think of? Because he caught a microphone one time,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Shaquil O'Neil tells a story that Stevie Wonder walked onto
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: an elevator knew he was there. I feel like there's
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: more to it.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there are more. I would have to do
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: some more research. It's been a minute since I've fallen
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: down the Stevie Wonder not blind rabbit hole. I'll get
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: back to you.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Which, by the way, if Stevie Wonder was in fact blind,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: you would think he would fall in more holes. Has
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: he fallen in one? Ever?
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Like if they were real, he'd fall off the stage
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: from time to time, and that hasn't happened yet exactly.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: He always knows where the edge of the stage is.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, getting on getting off not a problem.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Because he moves around so much on stage.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: He sits in a chair if I'm not mistaken, in
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: front of a keyboard at the piano.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but what is impressed.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this or not that
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder on a lot of his songs he's playing
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: every instrument.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, I did not know that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't realize that either.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I mean a lot of it. Yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: He was one of the first artists that really used
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: synthesized music. I knew you back God, but he is
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: responsible for putting most of his tracks together.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Wow, I know that. I know that Prince was famous
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: for playing at times all the instruments on at least
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: one or two or three of his albums and like,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: you know what, I don't need studio musicians. I'll just
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: play it all myself.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did what's trying to think what the song is?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: There's one song Prince did that the intro? What's the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: one is that when does cry the guitar intro? He's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: he was never able to replicate it.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: It was like he laid it down for that one.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Ye know, Uh, that's why do it again?
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: No, it was like it was like he was just
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: out of his mind that day.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Wow, I can't fathom that love. I can't either, Like
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I am so talented. I did something that could never
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: be done again, even by me. Yeah. So has anyone
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: been able to replicate it?
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: No?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: One really know?
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: What is what are you doing that's that special that
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: nobody else can replicate ever?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Like you go back and watch, I mean everyone's seen
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: it at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: he's that's they're celebrating George Harrison and they do the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: when my guitar gently weeps and and Prince, Yeah, he's
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: with all these legendary guitarists and then he just goes
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: on this riff that's just even the other guitarists are going,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: holy shit.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I mean it is. If you haven't seen it, look
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: it up on YouTube. It is one of the most
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: spectacular things you will see.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: All Right, I gotta look that up. One of my
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: other favorite stupid conspiracies legitimate conspiracies, but that's one thing,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: but I prefer this stupid conspiracy.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I thought Stevie Wonder was said he I don't think
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: he was born blind, but that for a long time
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: he could see kind of outlines of things.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I think I've heard that too, Trey. Okay, like he
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: could just see like blobs.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, so so so in the case of
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neil on the Elevator, Stevie Wonder walks onto an
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: elevator and as he's walking on, he sees the outline
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: have you seen mint q? And he knows it's black
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and therefore it must be Shaquill O'Neill. It's not like
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: he's the only seventy plus black man on.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: The Pretty sure, Stevie.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: First of all, he always has someone with him, and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: so I'm pretty sure there was someone going, hey, about
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: to get in the elevator with Shack.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: It's possible. I'm just telling you what Shaq said. You
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: can look it up on YouTube as well.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I also heard I also heard Shaquil O'Neil and
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: some clip say something like blah blah blah no cap.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: So I mean, I.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Just have a problem with with middle aged us is
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: trying to sound like the kids. It just it doesn't work. Oh.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: I love Shack. I think if I met him in
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: real life, we would become instant best friends. It's a
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: whole weird scenario that I've had for a long time.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I believe that actually now that he lives in Doubt
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: in like the Dallas area, from time to time, I'm like, oh,
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: come on, one day, I'm going to see you. It'll happen, Yeah,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: and our relationships is going to blossom and take off.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: And then I'm going to get to try on his
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: clothes in his closet.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: That is such a specific, fantasy, specific that I think
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I need to warn Shack.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: It might be a little stockery, but think how fun
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: it would be to try on all his giant clothes.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: I would feel so small and skinny.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: He went to brunch at a place years ago, and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: his order was two dozen eggs, oh man, two pounds
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: of bacon, and I think it was two gallons of
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: apple juice.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yo, man's gotta eat. He's just laying the groundwork to
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: have bigger clothes. So when he comes home someday and
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Rebecca's in his closet wearing his stuff, and that's how
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: they're gonna meet, Let's be honest, she'll feel super tiny
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: and happy. One of my other stupid conspiracies that I
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily believe but I love because it's so stupid
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: is that Pitbull and Kenny Chesney are the same person
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: because you've never seen them in the same place at
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the same time.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: That's a good one. I haven't heard that one.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: They look eerily the same.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: I also like the Garth Brooks murder one.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. Mm hmm, that's a lot of fun. Yeap,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: like Trey's looking at me with the pit Bull and
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Kenny Chesney thing. Sid go look at a side by
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: side photo tray sides.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Being small and bald.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: They look nothing alike.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah they do. No. I also feel like there's a
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: third member of this conspiracy. Uh. Todd Frost is our
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: former assistant program director at lone Star ninety two five
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: and ninety seven to one the Eagle. He also is
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: a tiny bald man. He could sort of pass for
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Pitbull Kenny Chesney, but also the bald dancing guy from
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: the six Flex commercials, all four of them same guy.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I feel like that guy.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, fast forward thirty years for pit
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Bull or somebody.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just like it be hysterical if the dancing
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: bald man at six Flags actually was pit bull er
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Kenny Chesney.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: But if you'll ever get Kenny Chesney to go on
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: stage and call himself mister Worldwide, then I'll give you.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Some you know, creed over that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Don't tempt me.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: As you have run into him.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I have run into him almost almost literally on stairs
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: once I.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Went and saw his So I saw the Kenny Chesney
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: at the Sphere in Vegas, and which if you've never been, go.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: I want to go so bad.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Go see any concert. It is one of the most
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: breathtaking experiences. But I literally I sent Dan because there's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a whole he did this whole thing where the drone
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: shots of all of Saint Thomas, Saint John and I.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: So I sent Dan and Tara like, well, no, I
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: was like, you know, hey, this looks for me. He's like, yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that's where we were this.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because like trays that video and I'm looking at
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the video and I send back with an arrow marked
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: up on it and be like, you know that photo
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: of you that you use for your cover photo on Facebook,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: this is where it was taken. So you kind of
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: saw yourself at the sphere in Kenny Jesse's video congradulation.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: What a full circle moment there anyway.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Uh, Stevie Wonder is seventy six years old today, despite
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: everything that has been said just based on the man's birthday,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Is anyone else surprised by the fact that he's not
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: older than seventy six. I figured he'd be at least
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: in his eighties.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I mean yeah, quite honestly, yes, because he was like old.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: When we were kids.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like he's always been old.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like a blind black singing a vagoda.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I will always go back to this point. Wilford Brimley,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I think, was like flatine.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he was younger than Paul Rudd is now,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: and Paul Rudd, as we know, never ages or whatever.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: So the fact that Wilford Brimley looked as ancient as
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: he did at forty nine is insane and fifty one yeah,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: you nowhere near the Wilford Brimley category. Tray.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: If they were to redo Cocoon with today's standards, old
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: people would have to be in like their eighties or
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: nineties have to be Yes, most of.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: The Golden Girls were in their early fifties.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Dude, that one kills me. That one kills me because.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Be Arthur looked old from the day she was born, I.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Think, right like she was always gray headed. Yes.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Also, just because I don't want to go ahead, Drey, No.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Be Arthur just she was like, looked like my grandmother.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was just always.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: And there's one other birthday I want to mention today.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Well it was a couple, but we're not going to
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: get to all of them. But what I want to
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: mention today, just because it's sort of pertinent, Robert Pattinson
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: turns forty today. So this is a stretch, but hang
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: with me for a moment. Okay. The other day we
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: talked about Tracy Lord's Yes, Trey, I.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Love how your prefaces.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: This is a stretch when we just got finished started
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: with Stevie Wonder and ended with Kitty Chesney and the Islands.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: But okay, go ahead, hear me out. So Robert Pattinson
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: is forty today. Last week we talked about Tracy Lord's
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: and it was her birthday and what an amazing arc
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: her career had because she started out as underage porn
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: and did the almost unthinkable, which is crossing over into
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: mainstream film out of porn. Very few other actors have
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: been able to do that. What do you think is
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: more difficult going from porn to mainstream or, in the
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: case of Robert Pattinson, going from Twilight anything else.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, Robert Pattinson, hands down, I'm with you.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Going from sparkly vampire in three films. You would think
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: would type cast you to the ends of the earth.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: But the man is resilient. He's so good. He's such
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: a good actor that he's a phenomenal batman. When I
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: first heard they had cast him at It, I was like,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: this is it. This it's trash. That franchise is cooked
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: before it even gets started. And then I saw the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: first trailer and I thought, ooh s good batman. And
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I saw the movie and still think it.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, phenomenal actor.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, he's good. He's really good.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: I know and I liked him as Batman.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not I think probably one of the things that
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: is after Twilight, I feel like he took a ten
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: year hiatus.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, he just did other stuff.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: He did stuff that like didn't really hit the mainstream.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Like he's had a lot of really good films that
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: kind of are under the radar.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: He did a I can't remember the name of the film,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: but he did a movie it might just be called
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: The Lighthouse. It was something in or around the Lighthouse
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: with Willem Defoe.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's which was amazing.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: The Mickey seventeen whatever it was. I haven't seen that yet,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: but just the clips that I've seen to that is great.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: He was phenomenal and tenant. There's a movie with Timothy
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Shalome I think, I think it's just called The King
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: and Robert Pattinson plays the son of an of an
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: enemy and they fight, and like Robert Pattinson plays the
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: best jerk you have ever seen in most films. In
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: that specific movie, he plays a Frenchman and he's just
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the worst. Dude's a good actor. But again, most importantly
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: is the fact that he actually turned in a really
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: good Batman.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: No, I always question how he even got a role
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: after Twilight, because I had friends that made me go
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: and suffer through those movies and it was awful. They
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: were all awful. It was like, did somebody and you
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: a script yesterday and then you're expected to do do
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: it today. It was so bad.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: And then having to act opposite Kristen Stewart or I.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: Hate her so much. I do not like her in anything.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: She just looks I don't know, I don't like her.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: So, Trey, you're not on board with Robert Pattinson in
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: general or rob like you said you liked him as
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: the Batman.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I liked, and I actually I didn't. I mean, they
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: weren't my favorite, but I didn't even mind the Twilight movies.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: But I just I.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Felt like he kind of dropped off, And obviously he didn't.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: But he wasn't in the in the spotlight like he
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: was during the Twilight series, Oh for sure. But then again,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I mean that is like the millennials, you know, love story,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: so he has a built in audience forever.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: And then I think it was also a story that
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: was it?
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: The story?
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Was it? Jennifer Lawrence have told the story about Robert
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Pattinson eating out of her trash.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, I think so. I think you're right. He came
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: the Girls Night and then ended up eating food out
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: of her trash.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was on The Grand Norton Show. Jennifer Lawrence
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: is on it. She's telling the story about Oh, she
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: and Robert Pattins in her buds and he was out
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: drinking and she's like, come on over, and he, you know,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: busting on girls Night, ends up eating food out of
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: her trash.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: He's so down to earth.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I know, they're just like us, just.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Like us, except I've never eaten out of the trash.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm so glad, I said.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Yet, I'm so glad you said trash because you started off,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you know, eating out Jennifer Lawrence, and I was like, Wow.

• 37:55
  Speaker 2: and Rebecca a few more minutes, Let's go to Utah,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: shall we. It's beautiful all times of year, but especially
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: when you've got a Utah couple jailed for making an
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: eleven year old sleep in a freezing garage to learn
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: how to be homeless. And if I'm being honest, like
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: they could have gone further.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they could have eaten out Jennifer Lawrence's trash.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: That's gonna teach you some things about being homeless. A
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Taylorsville couple Taylorsville, Utah. A Taylorsville, Utah couple is behind
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: bars after they allegedly sent their child to the garage
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: in near freezing temperatures without a coat to learn how
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: to be homeless. I'll be honest with you, I really
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: still feel like they could have done more there, because
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: most homeless people don't have a cozy garage to curl
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: up in. Robert James McIntosh and Lucia Liney Macintosh, both
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: forty six, have each been arrested on one count of
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: intentional or knowing aggravated child abuse first degree. Melany be
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: formally in charge, but according to documents, women contacted Taylorsville
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Police for a welfare check in her neighbor. She reported
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: that the night before, her neighbor's eleven year old child
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: came to her door and asked to use the bathroom.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Child victim allegedly told the neighbor they wanted to live
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: with her and didn't want to go home because their
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: parents locked them out of the house. While the child
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: was at her house, the victim's mother showed up to
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: bring the victim home. Later that night. The neighbor said
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: she saw the eleven year old in the garage for
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: several hours without a coat. After receiving the report, the
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: police responded immediately for the welfare check. When they arrived, Alicia,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: the child's mother, answered the door and state of the
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: eleven year old was in the garage and had been
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: sent there as punishment. Police said, you're under arrest.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: You don't admit, deny, deny the ny lady, come on, Uh.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: This kind of goes back to like when we were
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: all growing up. If a neighbor reported our parents were like,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I think there's some child something going on over there.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Our parents probably would have been like, yeah, and tell
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: the police. Here's what they did and here's why I'm
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: doing that, and the police be like, cool, carry on,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: we'll see you later. But today's standards, everyone's taken a ride.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: There's going to be investigations there. But we were talking
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: about it at the beginning of the show. Whenever this
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: weird stuff happens, especially family stuff, it seems to be
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: happening in Utah. Florida is the king of crazy. I
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: don't think that will ever change. Florida's wild Utah has
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: some other gear that is just.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Weird. Mormon.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's the common denominator there for the factor. The
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: X factor is Mormon.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I mean most of what I
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: know about the Mormon religion I learned watching South Park,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: and to be fair, yeah, pretty accurate with it. And
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: so when you learn about it, it's like okay, really,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: but then you see all the monuments and the testaments
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: built around their religions, like, okay, I get it. And
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: there is a level of kind of like living in
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Highland Park, Dallas, it's you have to maintain a certain status, yap.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Whenever you leave the house, you've got to look a
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: certain way and blah blah blah. There's expectations in society
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: and Utah seems to have a lot of it.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Well, you've got the devout Mormons that are the predominant
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: group in Utah.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: You have the ones that are Mormon light that are
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: on TV shows and things like that.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: The real Mormon housewives types. Yeah.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: But because if you're true to the Mormon you know,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you don't drink, you don't smoke, you don't you have caffeine.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: And it's very patriarchal.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's almost like they have their own
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: set of rules and laws and stuff like that they
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: abide by.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: They kind of do and like everything trade is laid out,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: all those all those parameters. It's like, man, that sounds
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: like a really boring television joke because most of the
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Housewives shows are fueled on drugs and booze.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah well yeah, I mean it's they're all they all
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: believe they're going to be the next you know it.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: A lot of the.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Craziness centers on around people thinking they're gonna be the
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: next prophet and declaring themselves so.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: And then a lot of times it's like two males
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: and they're going to fight to the death of it's
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: they do some bizarre stuff.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the understatement of the week, Tray. I
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: would also like to point out that I'm wary of
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: anyone that claims to be or wants to be a
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: prophet or profit adjacent and I don't need the most
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: recent season of The Boys to help me come to
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: that conclusion, although it has helped a lot. So Yeah,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: the idea of the profit type stuff and building control
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: and societies around religion just just makes my skin crawl already.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Like we all grew up in like the Robert Tilton era.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: Did we learn nothing from that?
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they weren't declaring themselves profits, they were just no.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: But like I just remember like in the summertime, my
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: brother and I would watch him on TV and he
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: would like have people call in and he would pray
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: over like the prayer requests that came in or whatever
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: as healing of them. So it was like the beginning
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: of that whole kind of movement, if you will. And
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: I think as a kid, being skeptical has taught me
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: to know that like odds are, this is not going
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: to be a prophet of any kind.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: It's like, uh, because I also grew up in the
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: land of Oral Roberts. Yes, in northeastern Oklahoma. Then you
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: had Jim and Tammy, Faye Baker, all those types. But yeah,
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: they're just they're just there's some.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Don't forget Jimmy Swaggered and.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you Jimmy Swagger. He's he's really one
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: of the ultimates. That man could cry on a dime.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: That was a talent. But there seemed to be something
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: in the water in Utah. It's a beautiful state, arguably
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: the most beautiful in the United States, but something weird
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: is there. And I guess you're right, maybe it's just
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: all stemming from the Mormonism.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Not to offend anyone, but by most theologians like it's
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: a cult. Yeah, and because it involves a Third Testament
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, almost everyone else.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Goes, yeah, no, it did happen.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: It was a bloody feud for for land and they
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: ended up in Utah.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: There is safety in numbers. I'm guessing like, hey, if
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: we all joined together in this one area, there's not well.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: It was no.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: They all they all wanted to be away from everyone
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: because they were practicing polygamy and had a very own,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: their own, very interesting set of rules on how things
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: should be done. So they went out west and found
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: you to Utah, and they have their own I mean
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: it's very wealthy, they have their own businesses, they're all.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's very encapsulated.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: I knew it was a weird religion when the seventh
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: grade basketball team I was on was coached by a
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Mormon and his son who's also Mormon, was on the team,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: and they were like, hey, we have this league, the
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Church League. You want to come play, We need an
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: extra player. I was like sure, And then I get
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: there and the basketball courts covered in carpet. I was like,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: this is these people are weird. I knew things were
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: odd right then and there, Rebecca. I know you need
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: to go, but if I remember correctly here speaking of
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: weird religious stuff, one other notable birthday I forgot to
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: mention l Ron Hubbard. He would be one hundred and
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: fifteen today, but he passed away in nineteen eighty six. Sodynetics, scientologist, Yes,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: scientology and dionetics can't make you immortal.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: No, P. T. Barnum of religion.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: I really do sometimes enjoy this show. Stevie Wonder, Robert Pattinson,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: l Ron Hubbard and the Mormon religion all wrapped under
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: one giant circus tint of a treehouse.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, and you know it's bad when the Mormons
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: look at you and go, you're fucking weird.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: That'll do it. We will see you next time right
• 46:37
