Speaker 3: is moving in a huge line eastward and it was
Speaker 3: around like here our part of the metrics where we

Speaker 3: one tornado that touched down in Irving, Whoa, that's at
Speaker 3: Pioneer Drive and MacArthur traveled less than half a mile
Speaker 3: when gust reached one hundred and ten miles per hour.
Speaker 1: Okay, so the F one being the weakest, the F
Speaker 1: five being the strongest.
Speaker 3: Yes, is that right? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I saw pictures of an apartment complex that looks like
Speaker 1: it got beat up pretty good.
Speaker 3: I don't know, there's a lot of stuff like that,
Speaker 3: but I say it back to there's a F zero two,
Speaker 3: which is dumb. It should be one through five on

Speaker 3: clearly you still Christina Ben's the Marion tape inerving a tree,
Speaker 3: uh fell on top of a house of a fella? God,
Speaker 3: what would you do? I mean, you're what in the
Speaker 3: hell your tree that you've known all this time lands
Speaker 3: on your house and destroys your house.
Speaker 4: That you've known. If we do have a giant tree,
Speaker 4: and I was scared of that this morning, and you
Speaker 4: don't think about it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a weird relationship Kevin has with
Speaker 2: his tree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well been through a lot. Uh part of a
Speaker 3: tree across the street flew several feet and damaged one
Speaker 3: of this guy's vehicles. Too uprooted and over And this
Speaker 3: is why I learned. I've got a guy who does
Speaker 3: some tree work over and fourth knowing for a long time,
Speaker 3: and he was explaining to me root rot. Do you
Speaker 3: guys know much about root rot? If your tree's got
Speaker 3: root rot, then it's more susceptible during high wind events
Speaker 3: like this to being uprooted because it's got root rot
Speaker 3: and not good sean roots. Did this guy try to
Speaker 3: sell you some root rot insurance? No, I've noticed that.
Speaker 3: I was a kid, good guy.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: For us in our we don't have to worry about
Speaker 3: root rot as much.
Speaker 1: We got to worry about poor trampoline stability time down right,
Speaker 1: that wind gets under those trampolines they go flying around
Speaker 1: the suburbs.
Speaker 3: When I had that mess last May, when the big tornado,
Speaker 3: well the high wind event, and that uprooted my tree
Speaker 3: in the backyard and took out my neighbor's fence across
Speaker 3: the alley. In the alley there was tornado, and I
Speaker 3: was like, I mean there was a trampoline, and I
Speaker 3: was like, God knows who's trampoline this is, but it's
Speaker 3: there and it's all ripped up and sideways. But it's
Speaker 3: like it could be from two neighborhoods down because my
Speaker 3: neighborhood was destroyed. The National Weather Service, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Encore says more than three hundred thousand customers were without
Speaker 3: power as of six am this morning. I lost power, yea,
Speaker 3: my wife. I asked her. I was like, is your
Speaker 3: phone charge? Because I'm always charged and she was like nope,
Speaker 3: forty nine percent on her phone. I was like, what
Speaker 3: are you doing there? Bro about to lose power? Winds
Speaker 3: tore off part of the roof on Plano West High School.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, three hundred flights delayed at DFW, sixty
Speaker 3: eight flights delayed at love Field. Name them? Well, I
Speaker 3: know there was one that was from George Bush to
Speaker 3: DFW that got delayed because our boss Elliott was supposed
Speaker 3: to have a flight get pushed back. A little bit
Speaker 3: far north Dallas is where we'll go now, Marsh Lane.
Speaker 3: There's an apartment complex had multiple billings of buildings that
Speaker 3: collapsed and chimneys were blown up off some roofs. Chimneys,
Speaker 3: not chimeneas, were lifted up and thrown around. Now because
Speaker 3: the chimney a craze disappeared in like nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 3: it really did come and go it.
Speaker 1: Kevin went so fast I kill I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: make a resurgence.
Speaker 3: I'd like to sell you mine, dude.
Speaker 2: I would like to you know what I'd like to do.
Speaker 2: I'd like someone to make me a good offer to
Speaker 2: get rid of my pool. Didn't you get a hernia
Speaker 2: lifted up one of those. Now it was a pumpkin.
Speaker 2: It was a giant cement pumpkin. It was the heaviest
Speaker 2: thing ever. And it was like it was in my
Speaker 2: old house where I wasn't able to take it through
Speaker 2: the house because it was so big it wouldn't fit
Speaker 2: through the door. So I carried it around on the side.
Speaker 2: And then when I finally set the thing, and it
Speaker 2: was like kind of had to, you know, walk it
Speaker 2: like a little duck because it was so heavy. And
Speaker 2: then when I set that thing down.
Speaker 3: I was like, man, it doesn't really feel good. And
Speaker 3: there that sucks. Think something happened.
Speaker 1: Okay, back to your pool situation though, Yeah, now that
Speaker 1: our kids are older, I too would be okay, get
Speaker 1: rid of the pool. And I told you that I
Speaker 1: had a neighbor who got an estimate. I don't know
Speaker 1: what type of pool they were trying to get done,
Speaker 1: but I remember pools used to be seventy five grand
Speaker 1: and one hundred grand and one hundred and twenty five grand,
Speaker 1: And then I heard of somebody getting one for like
Speaker 1: two twenty five and they had a little bar in
Speaker 1: it and all this stuff. These guys went and got
Speaker 1: a pool estimate and it was half a million dollars.
Speaker 3: Just insane.
Speaker 1: Half a million dollars for a pool for a water park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what all it entailed.
Speaker 3: I want it.
Speaker 2: I want to know how much it costs to fill
Speaker 2: my pool up and turn it into like some nice landscaping.
Speaker 1: Just filled up the concrete, put the turf over it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: put some turf over it. I don't want that thing anymore.
Speaker 2: Is every time I walk out there, another piece of
Speaker 2: brick falls into another piece of stone just falls into it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, shouldn't we just do this?
Speaker 1: Shouldn't we just sell our homes to younger families who
Speaker 1: are going to use the pool and'll value it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a I love that idea, and
Speaker 2: then go way overpay.
Speaker 3: For another home on the mall. Yeah, everything sucks. McKinny
Speaker 3: id building was heavily damaged with collapsed walls and overturned
Speaker 3: construction trailers. Terrant County. Two eighteen wheelers were tipped over
Speaker 3: by the wind on thirty five and Dell earn Hart Boulevard.
Speaker 3: Never would have happened on Dale's watch. I'll tell you
Speaker 3: that much is that over in Rowanoke? I take it yeah,
Speaker 3: that area. Yeah. Another eighteen wheeler overturned in Gainesville, Okay, Arlington,
Speaker 3: get this trees down blocking Fielder Road in Arlington, Okay,
Speaker 3: blocking traffic. Hug Tree getting knocked over because root rot,
Speaker 3: probably over there by where Prince Fielder once plied his craft.
Speaker 3: Last up day, Lewisville, Benjamin Moore Paints Warehouse had a
Speaker 3: big hole in the building because of this and this,
Speaker 3: I mean, this thing attacked the entire metroplex. Usually it's
Speaker 3: a couple parts of it. Some people get it worse.
Speaker 3: I think everyone got it equally because this thing we
Speaker 3: just sliding right across in one huge line.
Speaker 1: But we're we're not through the woods right in this
Speaker 1: like the the window. Like we're gonna start getting a
Speaker 1: lot more of these What.
Speaker 3: You mean like springtime? Yeah, I problem. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: it's pretty good this week.
Speaker 4: I did think we were expecting another storm tonight.
Speaker 3: Really, Oh we are?
Speaker 4: Are we?
Speaker 3: I'm not expecting? What are your models saying? I got expectations?
Speaker 3: So okay, what do your models look like? That pretty
Speaker 3: late laying low? Honestly, it's gonna be windy tomorrow. I'm windy.
Speaker 3: How what are his models? But no more storms? For
Speaker 3: a while. No, I don't think so. Some high winds,
Speaker 3: all right, you know, just some high winds. The high
Speaker 3: winds will continue, which is creepy and bad.
Speaker 1: My app shows a picture of those winds, you know,
Speaker 1: at each hour. Yeah, and there's like winds, like a
Speaker 1: picture of wind.
Speaker 3: It's my fear. Not that I'm losing sleepover it or anything,
Speaker 3: but the winds start fires and we have we turn
Speaker 3: into the Hollywood Hills even though we don't have hills.
Speaker 1: Didn't we get a bunch of rain last not really,
Speaker 1: not a bunch, didn't.
Speaker 3: I'm not a not like five inches. We got like
Speaker 3: half an inch on my gauge. I was about to
Speaker 3: ask four of an inch. Send Roxy out there to
Speaker 3: go look at the rain game. I do it myself.
Speaker 3: I'm a man. Damn.
Speaker 1: What you're saying that women don't have the capacity to
Speaker 1: figure out how to do that?
Speaker 3: They can do it. But it's kind of my deal,
Speaker 3: you know, I s the rain gage. I'd like to
Speaker 3: distance from that sexism. Honey, why'd we buy this chiming here? Now?
Speaker 3: If she wanted to get competitive and to have her
Speaker 3: own rain gauge on the other side of the lawn.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that freak you out if it showed way different results?
Speaker 3: What an inch and a half and over here we
Speaker 3: got three tenths of an inch? What happened to lose
Speaker 3: that one? It's like that sportscaster I got a bullet
Speaker 3: train update. Well, I feel like I've been giving bullet
Speaker 3: train updates on this show since I joined it in
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen. But I think you have man the Dallas
Speaker 3: to Houston high speed row, and you guys have had
Speaker 3: talking about it in conversation since the late seventies, So,
Speaker 3: I mean, this has been a story a long time.
Speaker 3: But Amtrak is now expressing interest in developing the route,
Speaker 3: which has been talked about for decades. Literally Now they're
Speaker 3: looking for something that they call a quote delivery partner
Speaker 3: to manage the design and construction, and it would be
Speaker 3: a ninety minute train to Houston. Is that necessary? Well?
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this in terms of our our management.
Speaker 3: You know, our bosses are spent a lot of time
Speaker 3: in Houston back and forth a lot, but that's four
Speaker 3: or five hour drive, give or take. So it's like
Speaker 3: the ninety minute bullet trainer would be great bullet train
Speaker 3: managing people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done the I've done the I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's technically a bullet train, but the train ride
Speaker 2: from New York to Philly. It's a nice way to roll, man,
Speaker 2: it really is. I mean, if you're not like rental
Speaker 2: car person who just puts you in the heart of
Speaker 2: the city. So I mean, I think it would be great,
Speaker 2: and you can It's easier to work on a train
Speaker 2: than it is on an airplane. So if your business
Speaker 2: guy going back and forth, I see the value of it.
Speaker 1: I just don't see why there's that much necessity to
Speaker 1: get back and forth from Houston to Dallas. Now you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Oh people going back and forth? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there's so much so like there's so many
Speaker 1: office buildings that are empty, and how many people are
Speaker 1: assuming and but it's like that there's that those are
Speaker 1: the two cities that are doing the most business in Texas.
Speaker 3: Do you all know anybody that farts around with von Lane?
Speaker 1: I've heard of those. I heard of luxury buses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think our buddy Cido does that. Okay, I think
Speaker 1: it's I think it's the thing for a businessman to do.
Speaker 1: And I guess the bullet train would interfere with the
Speaker 1: Von Lane experience.
Speaker 4: It could be fun to go to like sporting events
Speaker 4: down in Houston. Yeah, I've been to the Jackson Stadium
Speaker 4: and that stadium's awesome.
Speaker 3: That or concerts too, yes, because there's sometimes artists who like,
Speaker 3: I've hit Houston, but I didn't come through Dallas, and
Speaker 3: you're like, what the hell? You could run?
Speaker 2: You could run to Houston and get Bunbee's Trilburger for
Speaker 2: lunch and come on back be a nice little after.
Speaker 3: The problem is the acquisition of the farmland that you
Speaker 3: would need for this. But that's where Europe's got it.
Speaker 3: I mean, God, just from zoom zoom zoom all over
Speaker 3: the country and we just can't do that. And I
Speaker 3: imagine we'll be talking about the bullet train when I'm
Speaker 3: into my one hundred and twenties and thirties. You know,
Speaker 3: one more story, did you guys? You know I'm gonna
Speaker 3: play audio here? Actually you guys know popular band Puddle
Speaker 3: of Mud yep, the lead singer Westkantland. Hey, uh no,
Speaker 3: he's claiming he's gone through a lot. They had a
Speaker 3: rough show over the weekend. I want you to listen
Speaker 3: to Wes here ready, Christina.
Speaker 2: Yeap, I suck, I suck and I sucked, but I
Speaker 2: was roofie.
Speaker 1: My old bass player, Sawn Simon rufied me last night.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, they says old bass player. His old
Speaker 3: bass player roofied him last night. Now I'm not clear
Speaker 3: if they were hanging out or what happened to me.
Speaker 3: Allow clip of him singing, but I don't is it revenge?
Speaker 3: It's a bad fan recording, so I don't know. Like
Speaker 3: it's hard to tell. And honestly, that's kind of how
Speaker 3: he always sounds. Yeah, I think it's very strange that
Speaker 3: he's just like, I suck, I suck and I suck.
Speaker 3: My old days player roofed me last night. So that's
Speaker 3: why it sounded like weird, very weird.
Speaker 2: Why did he sound like that when he did that
Speaker 2: Nirvana cover see exactly.
Speaker 4: That's that's why it's like, I don't know why why
Speaker 4: he would even say this, because he's probably it's probably
Speaker 4: not true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not true. He's a he's a lot to take.
Speaker 1: All right, Good job, there you have it, Thank you, Kevin.
Speaker 1: Coming up next, let's talk TV shows. At what point
Speaker 1: do you know that it's time to bail on a
Speaker 1: TV show. We'll talk about that in All the Best
