• 1:07
  Speaker 2: let's jump in now with this to start, am I.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Sorry? I had the wrong thing.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: A guy goes online he needs some relationship advice and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: he says, my girlfriend expects me to pay for basically everything.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And I only realized how weird it was after my
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: friend pointed it out. Oh, buddy, he's a twenty six
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: year old guy. His girlfriend is twenty four, and he says,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: my girlfriend expects me to pay for everything. And I
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: only realized how weird it was after my friend pointed
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: it out.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Now, when I went to.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Click on this to read the whole context of the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: story after the headline, it was removed for some reason.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know, if by a moderator, deleted by the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: original poster. I don't know, Trey, am I missing anything
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that is not currently in the headline, because honestly, I
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: have enough to go on just based on the headline.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So there are some There is some nuance in here,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and probably the first one is that one of the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: examples he gives is they were out shopping and she
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: said she found a perfume she really liked, but she goes, oh,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I can't afford that, and he went and bought it
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: for anyways, Hey, that's on you, bubba yep. And now
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: he goes through some of the things of yeah, we
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: ordered dinner, I always pay, and she typically orders something
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: more expensive.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: They were going on a holiday and he said he
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: booked a room and she said, well, what about this room.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's a lot nicer, and obviously it was more expensive.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: She wanted to stay at a nicer hotel. Now, that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: does not give any context as to because the dollar
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in this story wherever they were, it's obviously overseas because
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: they used word petrol. And but he was throwing out
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: numbers about the hotel was like fourteen K. And but
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: she has a job and she makes decent money at
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: fifty five K. Obviously we're not talking about dollars, because
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: if you're making fifty five a month, you can afford
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yet, no kidding.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And but just it seems sounded like typical stuff, especially
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the fact that we're older. When we were dating, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in my twenties and stuff, men were in generally in
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: general expected to pay for everything. That's just the way
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: That was how we were raised.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's listen. One of the things that was
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: so wonderful with Brandy was I paid for a lot
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of stuff, but she would go out and we'd be
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: out somewhere doing something. She's like, I got this, You've
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: done enough, which was very cool. I've had relationships that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: were not like that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I think being in our age bracket. I think we
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: have enough experience out there and because of our age
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: where we've experienced both where there's sort of this expectation
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and it's not always her fault because if she's older
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and closer to the age, like we are, even a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: little bit older than us, then we were raised and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: told you pay, and they were basically told the same thing.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: It's the guy's thing to pay, right, So that's just
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: kind of nature versus that's what they were told.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: So that's what they do.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Younger though, it very much is, and I think there's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: also a level of maturity that comes into play, even
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: if it's early on it's expected that he pay. Sometimes
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a good mature woman will be like, you know what,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I think it's time I start paying for some stuff
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: as well. Right on the younger side of things, it's
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: definitely more common to have that sort of initiative to say,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: let me pay for this, so you're not paying for everything.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Or we'll split. Well, they split a lot of things, yeah,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: which that's I mean. I don't even know if they
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: use the term going Dutch anymore, but that that was
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: something in my twenties and thirties and long before that,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: if you were going Dutch that minute, you know, each
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: person paid for themselves.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Which also when you and I were growing up. If
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: she brought that up, then that all automatically means this
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: is no longer a date.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're just friends at that point.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: That was like the gen X version of being friend
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: zoned without being told you're now in the friend zone.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: It's like, I'll pay for this, Like, oh man, listen,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I had one relationship now that this is twenty years ago,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and at the time we were we had an arrangement
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and but I was for the most part staying with her. Okay,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: mm hmm. And she hit me one day, She's like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you don't pay, you know, pay for rent or anything else.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I pay for everything. Really, I go, I'll tell you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: what I'll start. I'm more than happy to start paying rent,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: m but you need to start splitting the bills as
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: far as what we food and going out. And I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: promise you, and I was right. I go, you're coming
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: out ahead. As we things sit right now, it's far
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: cheaper on you. I go. But if you want to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: start splitting everything, and I mean all going out, drinks, dinner,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: all of it. I'm game one month.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't love to take I would love to take
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: part in this experiment.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what near.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: As bad as you thought? M But now this is
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: one of those things. And he goes, well, you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: she occasionally pays for coffee or whatever. Listen, if you don't,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: if you don't say anything, and especially if she says
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: something like, oh that's too expensive, I can't afford it,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and you buy it for anyways, that's on you, man.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, on occasion. And look, look, especially early on in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: a relationship, these are these things the groundwork gets laid
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: for how how the relationship is going to run, how
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it's going to operate. Right, So, if you are constantly
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: paying for stuff at the beginning of a relationship, it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: going to be difficult to change that down the line.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: It's going to be nearly impossible for you to change
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: it on your own down the line. In order for
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: something like that to change, it's it's got to be
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: it's got to be the other side side idea. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: so that's why early on you've got to kind of
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: set some of these unspoken boundaries and ground rules. It's like, Okay,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to pay for everything, and it's it's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: like you have to you have to do it very
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: delicately because you don't want to, you know, because early
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: on in a relationship is and all the good stuff
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: is happening, right, everything's happy. You probably don't have any
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: disagreements your sex all the time. I mean, it's just
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: everything's fantastic. So bringing up something, you're like, Okay, I
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: noticed this. If I don't say something or do something
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: about this now, then this could become a problem down
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the line. So you want to do it delicately because
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you don't want to ruin the honeymoon phase.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Right. It's tough, man.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Relationships are hard, they are.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: But I do think in this day and age, I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: still feel like unless she has just a she makes
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a lot more. Uh, typically guys are going to pay
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: for more stuff. But I think that's also I think
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that's the sign of a good, good mate, good person
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you really want to maybe pursue something more serious with.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Is if she says every now and then, hey, And
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it's also it's kind of a gratitude of Hey, you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: do a lot. Let me get this one.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I have noticed what you do. I acknowledge it. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. And I'm going and I'm now going to,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you know, show you a little bit a gesture by
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: paying for this or paying for that. And even then
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: we may put up a little bit of a fight,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: but deep down we would love for you to pay
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: for stuff on occasion.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it makes it all worthwhile. If gratitude,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it's amazing. Gratitude goes such a long way, you know.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And even if you're just faking it, just say.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, just just do it. Just selling.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: You.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: You will see the difference. It doesn't take much. It
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: really doesn't.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Pick up the tab, you greedy bitch.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: That's the deep, deep, grimlin side of us coming out.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: We all got him. He's down there.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: He doesn't show his head very often, but he's in there.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: And like I said, I said, you know, relationships are hard.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: But the older I've gotten, the more mature I've gotten Slash.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: When you get older, you just stop giving a flying
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: f about certain things, right. That's one of the beautiful
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: things about getting older is you stop caring about certain things.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: You start caring about someone's reaction or what people think
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: about certain things.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So I sort of came to terms with this a
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: long time ago, where it's like you play the game
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: of oh, I should wait two days before I call
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: or I have to do this, I'm supposed to do that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: You know what, screw it. If you like her, call her,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: if you want to do this, do it. Say you
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: want to do it, and if she doesn't, then she's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: not your person. And flip and flip that script as well.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: If you really like him, don't play that game. Don't say, well,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I've got a date with somebody else. Don't play those
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: games because if you do, you're kind of setting yourself
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: up for failure and you're just testing a relationship unnecessarily.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Just do what you want, do what feels right, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: if that person is not on the same page, that
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: is not your person.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Unless that feeling is ghosting the person and never telling
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: them why. Yeah, you're sound advice.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Dan, Okay, Yeah, there are exceptions. This is not a
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: this is not an across the board type of thing.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Please please have the wisdom to understand where there should
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: be exceptions to the rule. Right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Uh, But that that's been That was my approach to
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: log That started to be my approach a long time ago,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and it made everything a lot simpler. And it's hard.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: It's a hard thing to change.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I've never played the game of oh I'm gonna wait,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I need to wait three days or whatever.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: If I really like someone, I was always gonna be like, hey,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I had a great time, let's do it again.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And it's liberating, isn't it, Because then you're not sweating
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: over these details. You're not You're not you're not fixated
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: on oh my god, Do I do I say something now?
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Or is it too soon? Do I call? Or do
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I text?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Especially now with technology, do I email?
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Do I snap? Whatever that is? You know, there's all
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: these things.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: They hear it do not email? Email is the most
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: impersonal thing. That was actually one of the colder moments
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: with Brandy is you know I had been trying, like again,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: had no idea what was going on, and uh, she
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: didn't respond to a text, phone call, anything. I got
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: an email from her, just Trey blah blah blah blah
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. Brandy. It's like, Wow, Yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that's that's how you do it. Consult That's how you
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: conduct a business transaction, not a relationship. Uh.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: And and then did you go on LinkedIn and post
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: her resume with a little science says open to work.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, the email thing is is pretty cold.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: But then again, if if that, if if email is
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: your love language, and you know, maybe, then then fine.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: If that's your deal.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Man, your love language, you're you're going to be dating, chat, GPT.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: You know what to each to each their own. It's yeah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: maybe it's safer for everybody that way.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just whatever you're going to put an email,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you can put in a text.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: That's true, but it doesn't feel as cold. It isn't
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: It isn't sent with as much ice hanging from it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: You know, email unless you just if you want to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: tell the person to get lost or or just absolutely
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: drive the point home that uh you no longer give
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a fuck mm hmm. Email. Emails your your vehicle of choice.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: But if you're not, if you want to display any warmth,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: any feeling, any emotion, do not email.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: And if you do email and you really want to
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: drive the stake through the heart of the recipient, see
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: see your X on it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Now it's interesting because as far as all this, who's
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: supposed to pay for what in relationship, everyone gets raised
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit differently, but there's still some you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: social norms that have changed over the years. Like you know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: splitting things is more and more common these days sometimes,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: so like in this case, this guy had no idea
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: that it was weird for him to be paying for
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: everything and for his girlfriend not to be paying for
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: really anything, so much so that it was this buddy
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: that had to point it out. On the flip side
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: of that, it was a few weeks ago, I'm at
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a diner. So I'm sitting at the counter of a diner, right,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: and I'm hearing the employees talk about stuff because I
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: because Tara and I were right at the register, so
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: we're hearing all their conversations and it was really entertaining
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the act Trey, you know this, I don't care if
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you're in a restaurant or an actual bar. All the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: good action happens at the bar. Oh, absolutely, you get
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: patron drama, employee drama. It's all right there. So at
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: this diner, you have this older woman who I would
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: say would be older gen X, so older than both
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: of us, talking to hardcore gen Z girl, right, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: they're talking about another employee who's not there, and how
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: terrible of a relationship she's in. So we're getting all
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the drama here at this diner. And so you've got
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the older gen x A saying how he's supposed to pay,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: she shouldn't be paying for anything, and the gen Z
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: girls saying like, look, I'll pay on occasion, like I
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: think it's good to split because it should be even
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. So it was interesting seeing their different perspectives.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Where it really got dark and twisted is the girl
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: they were talking about had the complete opposite relationship where
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: she was the one paying for everything and the guy
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: was a total loser, cheapskate, so much so that in
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the three years they were together, he only bought her
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: one birthday gift, And to make matters worse, the one
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: birthday gift he got her was one ear ring, not
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the pair, not the set. One ear ring, and that
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: was there. That was her first birthday with him in
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that relationship. So they've had she's had two other birthdays
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: since that, and he hasn't He hasn't ever gotten her
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the other ear ring. That's the only thing he has
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: paid for apparently in this relationship was one ear ring
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and for three years she's paid for everything.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, was it a huge diamond stud.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: No, It's like it was like a CZ type of situation.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, I mean, I see. I'm at a point now
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in life where I know that's wrong and everything else,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm like, I, dude, how
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: do you do that? Because I I couldn't, but it
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: must be nice. I'd love to be taken care of.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd love to see his savings account. Yeah,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: it's probably overflowing. And You're right, this is what's fascinating
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: by it. This is what's fascinating about it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: It's like, yes, it is wrong to be that way,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: to take advantage of someone. On the other hand, he
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: is being so cheap that it's almost commendable. Like I
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: want to study it and find out things about it.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I want there to be a podcast about it that
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I would actually listen to. I want there to be
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: a Netflix documentary on the guy that, in a three
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: year committed relationship has only bought her one ear ring
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: and that's it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by that.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am too. I want to know how you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: get away with that At a certain I mean, do
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you start off and you know what's wrong and you're
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: just suppressed seeing the urge to actually do something, and
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: then you just get a customed Is that? Is this
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the case of a guy growing accustomed to a lifestyle?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Then he just yeah and yeah? Does he does he
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: have it? Is he is he saving money? Or is
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: he just complete freeloading?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And and and and does he have any courses available
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: that I can take online?
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And if he is freeloading, I think he's missing a
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: really great opportunity for an income stream of Hey, you
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: can freeload too.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration in

• 19:52
  Speaker 2: part of the roofing process is knowing about ventilation and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: how important that can be to the life of the roof.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: That's a one thing you guys look at. It's not
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: just about shingles.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Dan.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: A lot of homeowners underestimate the amount of attic heat
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: build up that their home has affects their AC system,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: affects their roof condition, long term affects just overall their home.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: And so when we come out we make that assessment
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: with the homeowner. We try to educate them, make sure
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: they have the proper ventilation. There is a calculation of this.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: We walk them around if they're interested in going around,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: we show them what their intakes look like, what their
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: exhaust system looks like, and try to make the best
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: fit for their home. So that's a very common thing
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: that we do and it should be done every time
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: you have construction done at your property. You need to
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: be educated on what's happening and why.

• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Today is Tuesday, August eleven, twenty twenty six. Let's celebrate
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: today with some birthdays. Actress and a Gun is fifty eight.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: She's a two time Any two time Emmy winner, best
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: known as Skylar White on Breaking Bad and a Gun
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: fifty eight Today. This is one of those things that
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: this is where I go counter to the mainstream. I
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: did not love Breaking Bad. I think I'm on the
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: record as having said this a number of times.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I got about halfway through season three.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: There was an episode where Walt is just doing chores
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: and when he's underneath the sink in the kitchen, I
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm out. It was like it was like
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: it was like I was one of the sharks on
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Shark Tank. They came in with that episode and I
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: just said, and for this reason, I'm out.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Never seen an episode.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: It just didn't hit me the it hit so many
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: other people. I don't know why.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It just I well, part of it is just in
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the time frame in its heyday was in my drinking days,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and I missed a lot of TV at that point.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: But you had different priorities, Well, you know.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: If I did watch it, I would remember it. It's
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: just the whole thing.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Uh, you were living your own version of Breaking Bad.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but probably the two two shows. I think the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: two biggest shows of that time were Breaking Bad and
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: uh oh, what's the zombie show?
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Walking Dead?
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Walking Dead. I've never seen an episode of either one.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I was all over Walking Dead, and then I wasn't
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: and and then and then I still see promos for
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the continuation of Walking Dead, and I'm just like, how
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: what serious? Like God, these poor actors. I mean, at
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: least Jeffrey Dean Morgan who played Megan or plays Megan still.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's at least done other stuff. But it's
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: the actress that plays Maggie. Her last name's Cohen. I
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: can't remember her first name, but I mean she's just
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: been all Walking Dead her whole career. Same way with
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the lady that plays Carol Norman ritis who plays you know, Darryl.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: At least he's had other things in his career. But man,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: at a certain point, you're just like, all right, well,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta ride this gravy trained while I can.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: And I kind of feel bad for him.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I depending on how much money they're making.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: If they're if they're still I mean, if they're pulling
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: down seven figures for playing the same character every year,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I have good on them.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, it worked for Susan Lucci on on soap operas.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Forever Forever.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: There is something to be said about getting consistent work,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: and as an actor that's one of the hardest things
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: to come by. So it's always interesting. And this is
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: a very delicate balance that you've seen some actors succeed
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and some fail, which is you've got a good job,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: you're on a consistent thing, you got a consistent paycheck,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: which is already statistically impossible to come by in Hollywood.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: So do you take the extra gambling step and try
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: to push it? And there's examples, like I said, of
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: it turning out well and turning out bad. Noah Wiley
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: is a good current example of that. He was riding
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: a hell of a wave on Er and decided to
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: punch out and try to jump into film and stuff,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: and it didn't go the way he thought, and then
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: he was gone for Er and then he had a
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: very just sort of mid career up until recently with
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the Pit. But then you've got other examples where Matthew
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: McConaughey did Andy. Granted he was already in movies and stuff,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: but he was so tired he wanted to do something
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: other than all the rom coms. So he basically stopped
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: acting because that was all he was getting. All the
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: offers were for romantic comedies. So I think I saw
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: an interview with him. It was like almost two years
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: before he finally got something else in that he could do.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: He was looking into becoming a professor at ut MM.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Then you take someone like Ellen Pompeo playing that's certainly
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: certainly worked out well for her.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think the Gray's Anatomy Gravy Trained
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: is not a bad one.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: And then they're going into I mean they're twenty twenty
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: eight plus seasons NCIS crew. I mean, they know there's
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: been some ins and outs there, but uh, a few
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: of them have been there for most of the show.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: So I listening is if you're an actor and you
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: have a solid part in something, it's not like I mean,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: it's not like you're Batman or William Shatner or you
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: know some of these people that you had a short
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: run on a TV show, but you basically were typecast
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. And if you're gonna
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: be typecast and you get a twenty year run, screw them,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: because you're roll with it. You should be set for
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: life at that point.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because, honest to god, if the Friends cast never
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: did anything since Friends, they they are okay because they're
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: all still making twenty million dollars a year on residuals.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: The people the low key still the low key ones
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: that have absolutely ridden a gravy train for thirty plus
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: years are the Simpsons, the vote people who do the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: voice work for the Simpsons.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: That is a good gig, That's yeah, that's a great gig.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Part of I think when I think about this when
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: it comes to like things like The Walking Dead, so
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: uh is Sarah Cohen? I can't remember anyway, some of
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: these actors that have been sort of locked into the
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Walking Dead series. On one hand, good on them for
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: getting a consistent job and a consistent paying one, which is,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: as we've stated, very hard to come by. On the
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: flip side, and this is this kind of luck to
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: a certain degree, you're still on Walking Dead and you're
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: looking back at some of the actors that used to
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: be on the show like I don't know John Burnfall
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh my god, look at what he's
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: doing now. Andrew Lincoln, who was Rick Grimes on Walking Dead,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: was a bonafide actor. He was in love actually before
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Walking Dead. He gets cast as Rick Grimes. It's an
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: iconic role as far as television series are concerned. John
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Burnhal's kind of his right hand supporting guy. They kill
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Shane Off, which is John Berenthal's character, which needed to
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: happen in the story. It wasn't because John Burnhal was
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: about to blow up at least as far as I know,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: but they write off his character. He dies in the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: show and then he absolutely blows up into a bonafide
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: movie star. And Andrew Lincoln is back on the set
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: in Georgia doing Walking Dead, going.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Like, god damn it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: By the way, I saw Spider Man and it was great.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like you might you maybe loved it a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: little more than I did, but I thought it was
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: a fantastic movie. It's funny because months ago we talked
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: about I said Jean Gray is one of those characters.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Spoiler alert everyone, if you haven't seen the movie, sorry.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Uh, I think at this point everybody knows.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: But Jane Gray is one of those characters that that
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: never really got her due in the X Men, because
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: she was one of the most powerful characters as far
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: as the Mutants go. Really good introduction with her character,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: but really good movie if we get the Punisher. The
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: biggest pisser for that movie. And I used this as
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: double andre. Uh you have to wait, ye, I'll ow
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Marvel movies. There's something at the end after the credits
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: everything else. I really feel like they've made the credits
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: extra long for Spider Man because I had to pee
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: really bad and then I just had to sit there
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and and really, of all the of all the little
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Easter eggs you get at the end of the Marvel movies,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that was the worst one.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: That was that was that was bad?
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the worst thing about the movie.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really, Yeah, you're right, it was.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: This is why it's important when you go into a
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Marvel movie, if you if you don't go the first day,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: like the first actual.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Day of release, like I went on.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, Spider Man's been out over a week now, right,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: So if you don't know some of these things, like
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: you can't expect the rest of the world to operate
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: spoiler free after over a week. We now live in
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: a twenty four hour society, so that's on you. But
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: when Spider Man came out last week, I went on Sunday, okay,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: so enough time had passed to where I could search
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: how many end credit scenes are there, So I searched
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: that before going to the movie, so I was able
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: to want the credits started. I went to go pee
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: and then came back to see the final end credit
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: and I feel like I got the short end of
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the of the stick on that and I didn't sit
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: there the whole credits like you did.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I I had seen on social media what I thought
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: was just part of the end credits, not or the
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: scene at the end of the credits, but no, that
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: was it. And I'm like, really like, and it's bad
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: on Marvel because they have to do better on the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: rest of them, or else people are going to not start,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: you know, wait for that little nugget you get at
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the end. And sometimes with the Marvel movies they would
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: at least divide it up and put some of that
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the credits.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I liked the formula that they did with that,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: and they got away from that formula with the Spider Man,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: so usually the formula was on the Marvel movies.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: The post credit scenes that they.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Would do is the one that had to do with
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: sort of the overall story and trajectory of future films.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Came right after the initial cast and director credits, right
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: right so before you got into.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: The big before the line credits where they actually were
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: still doing the scenes and putting the names out there.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: They would finish that and then do.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: The story based end credit scene that you needed, and
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: then if there was one at the very end, that
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: was one that was usually silly and you didn't need
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: it so you could go.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: The one Avengers is still probably my all time favorite
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: because you know, they're eating schwarma.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was beautiful. It is.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: It's still one of the best ones, without a doubt. Ye,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: and they're not saying a frickin' word and it was perfect.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Like, just get back to that more of that, please?

• 35:30
  Speaker 2: very important that we mentioned one other birthday because we
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: were just talking about Spider Man and the Marvel Cinematic
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Universe and eating swarma at the end of Avengers. Chris
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Hemsworth is forty three today and he's very pertinent in
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: the conversation we were having as well about getting a
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: role and just running it into the ground righting the
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: way for as long as you can, whether it's what's
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: her name on Walking Dead or you know whoever on
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: a TV shows. Hymnsworth is very much on the record
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: saying I will play Thor for as long as I can.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: He loves I mean, he loves the role. He loves
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the money. Now, granted, playing Thor is different every couple
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: of years versus the same show week in week out.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: It's not like he's on NCIS Australia right and.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: He's making amazing money doing it. But I'm with him.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: If I get a role like that in the movies
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: where you're making five, ten, fifteen, twenty million dollars per picture,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I will be Thor till I die.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Your Thor I mean that's that's one of the iconic roles.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's why Patrick Stewart loved being you know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Jean Lupicard. It's there are some roles where you go, yeah, okay,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: if that's how people you know. And then I mean,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: he's obviously Professor Savior. I mean, you know X men.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I mean he's but yeah, I don't feel sorry for
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Chris Hemsworth because let's see, he's done. There's four Avengers.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: There's been I think four Thor movies.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Uh, hang on, Thor, Dark World, Love and Thunder Ragnarok.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, for four individual Thors yep.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: And then some some crossover rolls casting Captain America the
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: other but some probably ten movies so far.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's still And because you're doing that, it's movies.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: You can still do other stuff on the side, like
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: that little film franchise on Netflix called Extraction. Oh that
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: first Extraction is so iffing good.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Did I see that?
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Buddy, if you have not seen Extraction, oh my god.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: As soon as we're done with this episode goes, I
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: don't care what you're doing the rest of the day,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: you go watch Extraction.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like I did see it.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: I think you did.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: It's the one where he plays in Australian special forces
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: like private contractor mercenary type and he has to protect
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: some Indian kid in India and there's another mercenary that's
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: out to get them, and then something else happens, and
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: then something else happens. He gets shot in the neck
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: on the bridge and falls in the river.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, I did see it.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: But it's like the ultimate and hand to hand combat
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: and gunpoorn, especially when he gets his glockjammed and he
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: re racks the slide on his own chest plate.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: God, that's awesome.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean he did that limitless series
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: on National Geographic and but again talking about good genetics
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: and yeah, you basically everything you do is built around
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the fact that you're built like a Greek god. It's
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: really on far Norse as it were true.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: All right, Not to put a full dampener on the
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Shenanigans here inside the Treehouse, but it is important that
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: we share with you and acknowledge something that is important
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: to us. I'm not going to mince any words here.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: There is a hierarchy to Treehouse show listeners. We love
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: and appreciate every single listener we have, but let's be honest,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: there's some that rise above others, not because they're better
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: than you or anything like that. It's just because they
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: may have been around longer, we may have had more
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: of a personal relationship with them. And that is absolutely
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: the case of our Robert, who got that name from
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: over two decades ago. He would call into the radio
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: show so often that when we would type in Robert
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: on the call screen and then the comment of whatever
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: he was going to say, Russ would typically ask, is
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: that our Robert versus just some other random Robert that
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: happened to be calling in? Because Russ knew if it
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: was our Robert, it was going to be a good call,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: and then he was looking forward to it. It got
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: to the point where I started typing it into the
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: screen Our Robert, and we heard the unfortunate news last
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: week that our Robert passed away. I don't take that lightly,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: especially because I feel like I've been sharing more death
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: announcements on this show in recent years than I really
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: care to, and it seems like they keep stacking up.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I think, Trey, you and I saw Robert's sister post
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: on social media about Robert passing away, and we had
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: also received an email from her directly, so we saw
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: it on We saw it on social media because we're
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: friends with Robert on social media. We're friends with his
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: sister Shawna on social media, so we saw the post,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I believe first, and then I checked the email and
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: saw that she had sent us an email as well
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: about it. So I'll share that with you now, Dan, Trey,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: and Jerry. This is Robert Powell's, Yes, the Robert you
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: referred to as our Robert sister. I wanted to let
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: you all know that after experiencing declining health, congestive heart failure,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: kendyan liver failure, and diabetes over the past several months,
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Robert passed away today. I know he would want you
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: all to know how much he loved you guys and
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: how special you all were to him. He loved the
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Treehouse Show podcast, as do I, and he would want
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: to make sure you guys knew that. Thank you for
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: all you have done for him over the years. Shauna,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you for that, Shauna. And this is what I
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: mean by sometimes listeners rise above other listeners because we
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: get a personal relationship with them that we don't always
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: get with everyone. Robert was one of the first listeners
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: of The Russ Martin Show I ever met. When I
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: started on the show in two thousand and two and
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: got brought into screen calls. Dan Lewis, the producer at
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: the time, told me there are certain people that call
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: in a lot and they get, you know, special privileges,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: and the first one he mentioned was our Robert.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: I had so many.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Great conversations with Robert over the years, both on and
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: off the air. He would come to events, not just
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: RMS show events, but he came to Treehouse events. He
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: was front row at so many of our live shows.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: And I am going to miss him.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: And he was not only just a wonderfully just a
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: wonderful person, but he always fascinated me because he had
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: such a wide variety of interest in things that interested him.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: You would see him post, you know, and he had
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: a tendency to go on streaks about posting about things,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: you know, and he'd get on like a church streak,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and he'd post on church, one of the things that
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: he absolutely loved. And I will argue that maybe there
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: has not been a bigger supporter in the DFW Metroplex
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: of women's professional football than Robert Powell was.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: That is absolutely true, and not in a creepy way
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: No, he really advocated it, advocated for it, and uh,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: I often had to bite my tongue and going dude,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: but you know, he came to birthday party of mine.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: He back when I worked at the IVY, would come
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: down there every now and then. He really he was
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: a wonderful person, looked after his family, just a sweet soul.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I was. I was just I mean, my
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: one word text you when I sent you the screenshot
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: of it was just fuck. I mean, because it's like,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: we have been surrounded by a lot of death and
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: loss this year and it needs to stop. So knock
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: it off, everybody.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's time and sorry for the pun,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: but whatever. It's time that we resurrect an old Russ
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Martin Show rule that Russ put in place years ago
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: when someone died, and that is, you're not allowed to
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: die until we say it's okay, especially now, because we
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: need every listener we can get and if you keep dying,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: then we don't have anybody.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Some joking aside, there have been a number of listeners
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: that have that have passed away over the years, some
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: that we've had more personal relationships than with others. Some
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: we've you know in passing here and there. There have
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: been members of you Know the show and the extended
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: cast of the show that have died. Obviously, Rus himself died,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: and I keep thinking about this morbid list that I
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: need to make about the people in and around this show,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: whether it was you Know RMS or the Treehouse version
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: of this show. Some of the other listeners that stand
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: out to me, in addition to our Robert who can
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: now be who now needs to be added to that list.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: One of the first was Gary from the Grove. There
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: was a guy who was the pro wrestling addict and
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: he and Russ would get into shouting matches, both on
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: the phone and in person. One of the great bits
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: in DFW radio history was Gary from the Grove him
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: running through a plate glass sliding door, peeing his pants,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff that happened in and around the show,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: and we got word that.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: He had died that That.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Was one of the first ones that I remember period
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: as like, oh my god, I'm not going to see
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: or hear that guy ever again. And there's been There's
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: been some others along the way as well. There was
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: one that was real personal to me because he and
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: I struck up just sort of a bond through email
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: and text and stuff and social media. Was a guy
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: named Kevin Rounds. He was hysterical, hysterical listener, loved the show,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: would comment mostly behind the scenes. He I don't he
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: he would call in on occasion. He wasn't as vocal
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: and seen as Robert or Gary from the Grove, but.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: He was the guy that when I was on the fan,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: he was still listening to me. And I had talked
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: about how I had met this girl and he found
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: her online and he's like, dude, you totally I'll kicked
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: your coverage.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: You have like a bionic leg or something.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: And that was Tara and that was Kevin, and you know,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: similar thing his sister or his wife saying, oh he
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: passed away. I was like what. And these things have
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: happened over the years. I mean, there's there's many others,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: but it's just it's just sad. And I just wanted
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: to make sure that we get a moment to say
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: a proper goodbye to one of the all time great
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Russ Martin Show, Treehouse show listeners in our Robert.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: Very well said, and.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Oh I was gonna make it just a
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: joke of it.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Oh I've got one too.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: We didn't have a call in line on the podcast,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: and everyone would understand. Also called Robert the mouth breather.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: That's true. He was a big, big mouth breather. And
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: hearing about how he passed away, maybe that should have
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: been a sign.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: We love you, Robert.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: We love you, buddy.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: We're gonna miss you a whole hell of a lot
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: here inside the Treehouse. If there was a listener Hall
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: of Fame, you would be first in line.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore, absolutely.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: We will see you next time, right here inside the Treehouse.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: What a perfect time for your mic to crap out.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm all about timing
