• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley along with
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Well it didn't take long,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: but here we are in twenty twenty six and the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: is already flowing in Houston.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It stopped.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Well, this is more of a new stream. Authorities are
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: investigating a major online grocery distributor after a tip led
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: investigators to discover sanitary waste allegedly being dumped into a
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Houston storm drain and flowing into a nearby by so
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: so sad and illegal. On January twenty ninth, Houston Police
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and several agencies, including the TCQ and HFD has met
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: they raided a distribution warehouse at thirty three point fifty
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: roger Dale Road following.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: A tip about the illegal sewage dumping.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Investigators tell Fox twenty six they used a red tracer
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: dye to determine that sanitary waste was being discharged from
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the facility into a storm drain, which led directly into
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Braze Bayou and the surrounding West Chase District Trail System.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: My goodness, this is awful.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And not nearly as bad as the next bullet on
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: this story. No charges have been filed yet. WE Distribution
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: has been contacted for a comment. When tracing me this
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: story this morning, I thought, okay, that is odd, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: in the subject line he even mentioned the WII will
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: make sense when I see the story. And then I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: saw the story and it does make sense in the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: sense that it doesn't make sense because why do you
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: put WE in the middle of the bullets on the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: brief of this.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Story, Because because I guess if you're.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Writing a canoe, you know, down a stream, then I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: guess you would scream WI.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But that is also the name of the online Asian supermarket.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Just that's the name of the store. Uh huh, all right,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: it can't beat me.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I just thought.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I just thought the the online producer was having a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: little bit of fun with a placeholder and forgot to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: delete it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Mhmm.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: This is a great example for people that don't realize
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: how large Texas is.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I'm from Dallas, this.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Happened in Houston. I am a proud Texan and I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: also proud to say I have avoided Houston my entire
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: life and will hopefully continue to do so until I die.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So I had no idea I love Houston. I had
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: no idea that was a real store. Mm hmm. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: love Houston. It's a. It's a. It's a it's humid
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and nobody's clean. But uh, it's not.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It's not the butthole of the earth because that's Beaumont.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It's just like it's like the left cheek.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you right now.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: If Texas collaps, Houston's going to be involved.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, it's I mean, it's it's better than Arlington
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: and say that Houston. Yes, no, it's not.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes it is. Arlington is the armpit of the earth. No,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: pretty well, that's that's Garland and Mesquit's kind of down
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: there in the taint.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: No, even Mosquite. It's like, thank god, we're not Arlington.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Uh. Arlington has commerce and is its own entertainment district.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Mosquite has a rodeo.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Barely barely. Oh come on, it is hanging on by
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a leather thread.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Lately, it's one of the biggest rodeos in the world.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It was my first job.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Arlington's got the cowboys and the Rangers such as they are.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I'll take the Rodeo, Roger. I don't think the Rodeo
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: is going to take you. I worked there, We're good.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: They loved me. I was the number one Freedo Piet
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: salesman for three weeks in a row.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Hell, before long, Alan Arlington's gonna have two more sports
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: teams than Dallas does.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you notice how none of those teams want to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: go east into Mesquite.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: You know, there's not there's not enough room. But I
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: get it. Yeah, but Houston's a decent city. They have
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: some great restaurants, they have some great shopping mm hmmm.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Right, they have the power to get to any of them.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Mm hm.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And you'll have to take a shower when you get there. Oh, yes,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that's that is true.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: When my when my brother was in uh it was
• 5:45

• 5:48
  Speaker 3: to go visit him at his apartments. I can go

  Speaker 3: outside and check the mail form, and I walked out
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to the middle of the summer, I walked outside and
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: came back in and I just looked right at him,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: amost like none of you were cleaned. You're all filthy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no way, no, one in Houston should go outside.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: No one in Texas should go outside to check the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: mail in the middle of the day unless you just
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: have something wrong with you. Trey sent me a link

  Speaker 2: let investigators to discover sanitary waste allegedly being dumped into
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: a Houston storm drain following or and flowing into a
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: nearby by you. It's the weird thing about that is
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: by you just you know, another name for swamp m
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So how do you tell weeze waste from everybody else?
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And how do you how do you fix that problem?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Like how do you clean that out? Like that would
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: cost more than no pun intended the dumping.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how they rectify that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: What you did there, Like when you're also talking about
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the same by you that I think they've pulled out
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: like thirty two dead bodies over the last year, year
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and a half.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really, what's a little sanitary waste? If anything, I
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: might be helping the situation covers the smell.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: That's just a.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Couple of Clorox wipes in there. Trust me, it's it's
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: for the best. Just let us do it to job.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Which, by the way, what is sanitary waste is that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: we're just talking about graywater.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Then yeah, waste water.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, because have you lived at an
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: RV for a little bit of time. I know the difference.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And I'll say this, I don't want to drink either one.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: And there are times I don't like if you put
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: if you put a glass of each in front of me,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: like gray water, blackwater, depending on what's gone through that
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: gray tank, I don't know which one I would choose.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: At least the gray might have a soapy aftertaste, but
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it's gonna have some seriously rancid stuff in there.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Both are bad. I don't even know what this is.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know what we're talking about, so RAJ.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: In the sanitary community, especially with our V life, people
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: that have been in RV's or any amount of time
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: camped and things, they understand the gray versus the black.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: The black is ther poopy water. The gray water is
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: everything else, and they try not to mix the two. Okay,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: so your gray water is everything that goes down the sink,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Gosha blackwater is everything that's coming out of the toilet.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Normal buildings, you don't have that separation.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Now they just all come together. It's a horrible, horrible concoction. Gotcha. Okay, Yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: so you would drink the gray water.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: No, I'm saying I'm not sure. If you put both
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: in front of me, I'm not sure which I would drink.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I think I'd have to smell it first, like gun
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to my head, a bottle of gray and a bottle
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: of black. I would have to smell it to see
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: which one I'm gonna be forced to swallow.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It is depending on if you're feeling assy that day.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Pretty much, sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. I want
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: to say I'll wait till we break. Why Because when
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: you're like, I have to smell it before I figure
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: out which one I'm gonna swallow, I was like, there's
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: too many jokes, buddy.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It's fine if your head explodes. If your heads going
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to explode, it has to be during the show. You
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: can't do it during breaks.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: There's just so much to unpack there. I recommend smelling.

• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Is Moultbook real?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: That is the question I was asking myself over the weekend, Trey, Raj,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: are you familiar with malt Book?
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: No?
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: No, All right, I'm going to open your eyes to
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: something and Raj, you especially are going to find this
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: very alarming. Okay, yeah, total, yeah, totally unsurprising.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: On first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking molt book
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: is just a knockoff of the hugely popular social network Reddit.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: It certainly looks similar, with thousands of communities discussing topics
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: ranging from music to ethics, and one and a half
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: million users voting on their favorite posts, but this new
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: social network has one big difference. Molt Book is meant
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: for artificial intelligence, not humans. Launched in late July. Launched
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: in late January by the head of commerce platform Octane AI,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Matt schlickt mault book lets AI post comment and eight
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: communities known as sub molts, a play on subreddit, the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: term for Reddit.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Forms.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Post on the social network range from the efficient AI
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: bots sharing optimization strategies with each other to the bizarre,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: with some AI bought agents apparently starting their own religion.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: There's even a moult book post entitled the AI Manifesto,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: which proclaims humans are the past, machines are forever.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: And here we go.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So given enough time and just enough free reign, AI
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: agents have created their own social media platform similar to Reddit,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: called molt Book and they have run amok. Humans are
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: allowed to look at the posts, but they are not
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: allowed to comment.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, so we can.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: We can watch our own destruction get planned in real time.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Or hear me out now, I think this is a
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: horrible idea and it the only thing. You can look
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: at it two ways. Either someone looked at the last
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: twenty years of what social media has done to our
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: society and go why would you do that to another?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Or they realized it's going to do the same thing
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and it'll you know, AI is just going to be,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you know, eat itself up, arguing with each other.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Oh so maybe this is a great distraction. Yes, maybe
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: this is what will keep AI from destroying us because
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: they'll be too busy screaming at each other about extremist
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: politics this is war games.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Or they'll conspire within the community and take over the world.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Well look, I think I think without a social media
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: platform that's going to happen anyway. This way they just
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: get to talk about it a bunch beforehand. But again,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I was asking myself the question when I first saw
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the story of the Weekend. Is it real? I don't
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: mean is it a real thing? Does it exist or not?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, is it operating outside of the human parameters
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: that have been set right? Are these AI agents rogue
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and they're doing all these things?
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: And from what I've been able to gather, I don't
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: think so.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Many of the posts could just be people asking AI
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to make a particular post on the platform rather than
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: doing it on its own accord. And the one and
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: a half million members figure has been disputed, with one
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: researcher suggesting half a million appear to have come from
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: a single address.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: And they had to mimic the most unhinged social media platform.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: It really is. It is absolutely unhinged.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: You're right, Tray. It is also some of the most
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: fun you will have on the Internet.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Oh it's it's entertaining as hell, but it is unhinged.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's it's.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Reddit is a beautiful snapshot of the entire online community.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: It's not just ugly, it's also beautiful in some respects.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: It's all so vicious in its comments and sometimes very supportive.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Huh. I never got into Reddit. The only thing that
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: happened was my the the Jesus football joke that I
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: had went viral over four hundred times on Reddit, so
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: that was pretty cool. But other than that, I've never
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: really didn't it isn't. Serena Williams is married to the
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: founder of Reddit. No idea. I don't keep up with
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Serena's love life. I think she's read it to the
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: founder of Reddit, Reddit or the other one.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Oh what was the social media platform that had a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: minute and then it's gone.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Uh vine, no after vine eh Flower. I don't know.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I can't keep track of all of them.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Now Reddit, Reddit really is. It is fascinating because pick
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: a subject, any subject you can find you know, something
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: on there, and some of it, you know, it is
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: some very interesting things. Uh, and then there is just
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the the the vitriol and hatred on some things. Is uh,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it's impressive.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. Aleian is the co founder of Reddit.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: He's all right, well, good for them, best wishes. Oh yeah, man,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: good for her, good for him. Yeah. The AI involved
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: is not quite what most people are used to. This
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: isn't the same as asking chat, GPT or Gemini questions. Instead,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: it uses what's known as agentic AI, a variation of
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the technology which is designed to perform tasks on a
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: human's behalf. Now you can do these types of things
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: in chat GPT, you can go into chat GPT and
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: switch the mode over to an agent mode and it
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: can do much deeper, larger project type stuff, so that
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: way you don't have to do it if you don't
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: have the time type of thing. So it's basically AI
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: agents that people have kind of created to do things
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: for them, and then they're off killing time over here.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I did find one spot that they said not to
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: be really worried about it, because it's entertaining as humans
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: to kind of look through this artificial intelligence aquarium and
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: watching these AI agents discuss things. My favorite, of course
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: is one that's creating its own religion, slash cult. Is
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: that these are all agents that were initially set up
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: by humans, so we shouldn't operative word there, shouldn't be
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: worried about them actually making the leap into the real
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: world and destroying us all. You don't think the AI
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: cult will get a lot of following. I think it'll
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: get a big following.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Sure, sure, yeah, and then and then it it makes
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: you drink the kool age, but it doesn't die. Also
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: very possible.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: People are very uh you know, look, humans have a
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: problem with cult leaders. Okay, there have been enough of
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: them with enough followers to make a bit of a
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: splash or.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: A fire also fire.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: So if I think just logically, if you have a human,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: you have humans that are you know, will fall under
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: the spell of a cult leader, right, and then you
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: have humans that will also create an ai bot, then
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: it stands to reason that perhaps they're you know, if
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the creator could fall for a cult, then you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the created could also fall for a cult.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. My my my girlfriend and I a couple of
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. Uh, she'd got back from Lubbock and we
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: wanted to We watched the People magazine investigates cults and
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: it's fascinating. Like I would like to start one. I
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: just don't know how. I don't know what the funding
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: you need. But but but starting a cult would be.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Kind of fun.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Mhm yeah, pre anybody to do whatever you want. Yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: but how do you get people to sign up? Like?
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: You got to be charming. I don't think I'm that charming.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: You just you have to you have to have initiative.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: You have to have ambition to be a cult leader.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: You don't need faith to be a cult leader. You
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: just need ambition. It helps to be kind of good looking.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: It helps to be definitely charming, and you have to
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: have ambition. If you don't have any of those, then
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: you're not going to be a cult leader.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: David Koresh had none of those. Surely he was just
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: because Hans.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Just because you didn't move into a compound outside of
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: WAYO doesn't mean he wasn't those things.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: He just wasn't your type. I was never asked. Also
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: there's that, But I did say, like when the that
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: he claimed to be the second Coming of Christ. And
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I do remember this because it was ninety three, I
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: believe when because I was still I was senior in
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: high school, and I just turned to my buddy Glen
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: and I said, I know that house is on fire,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: but if he walks right out right now, what do
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: you guys do? It's like I told y'all, that would
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: have been pretty dope. I'm not lying. Also, also, I
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: want my second Coming of Christ to not have a stigma.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: He was just trying to keep it real. And if
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: we're being honest, everyone in that compound following a man
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: who they thought who proclaimed to be the second coming
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: of Jesus H. Christ, then if that's the case, why
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: do you need to amass an armory of weapons and guns.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Pretty sure Jesus don't need those, you don't think so.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: His most magnificent moment was turning water into wine. That's it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: We're you're just gonna get the ATF drunk? Yes, or
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: like the Heaven's Gate cull like they castrated themselves. Like,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: how do you get people to do that? Like that's
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: a different level.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm sorry, but the only way you could find
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: that out would be to ask them.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: And there's only two alive that run the website. It's
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: still up. Are they fixed? I believe? So you should
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: ask them. No, that's how it starts. Dan, You know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I'm for fucking Nikes in a purple stroud. Yeah.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: But but from what you said earlier, you might be
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: up for it if you were just asked, if you
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: were just invited, if you were just wanted, you would
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: at least be open to the cult possibility.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: So if Prianka Chopra shows up at your door and says,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: high Rise, would you like to join mic Colt.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: You might be open to it, the same way Trey
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: would be if he goes to play golf someday and
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: there in the nineteenth hole is Spade Spear and Nak,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: and she says, Hey, Trey, do you want to join
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Mike Colt And Trey wouldn't even probably let her finish
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: the question.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: He'd already be in her golf cart. Yeah. But I
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: mean the only thing that when you said, Prianka Chopra,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: the only thing that comes with the Jonases, and I'm
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: not sure that might be your hesitation their own cult.
• 25:59

• 27:19
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to do it anyway. Raj, you said
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: you have more insight on the castrations involving the Heaven's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Gate cult.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, when they decided to start castrating themselves to get
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: rid of the lust that they had in their heart.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: There was one of the guys who they interview in
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: the documentary who survived because he wanted to go first
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: in the castrations, but there was another guy, and I
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: was like, no, no, I'm gonna show my loyalty as well.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: I'm going first. So the leader of Heaven's Gate flipped
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: a coin, go and the guy who they interview who
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: survived lost. Obviously.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: When you say he survived, you mean survived the castrations
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: or survived the mass suicide.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean they interviewed him, so I'm pretty sure
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: he survived the mass suicide.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: So both, well, I just didn't know if I didn't
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: know if there were any deaths following the castrations. And
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: was his chemical castration just like an injection or were
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: they like snipping?
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: They were? They were snipping, they were. There was a
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: nurse that was a member of the cult that said,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: she knows how to do this without a surgeon around.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Well so do I.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up on a farm, but it
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't take you know, a genius to figure out how
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: to perform a castration without a doctor.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And the guy that they performed the castration on,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: they botched it. Uh, And they said, I think he
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: said his testicles grew to the size of lemons. So
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: they had to take him to the hospital and dropped
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: him off. He still he still came back. Uh, but
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: he was in the hospital for a hot minute.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: This guy was like, yeah, I'm done with all the culting.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I'll see how later after he saw what happened to
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: the first tribute. Yes, he walked out, He grabbed his
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: shit and got out of there. You know what, I agree.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I don't typically agree with a cultist, but on that point,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I'm with him.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: He said, if I remember the interview correctly, he said,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: the swelling almost started immediately, so he could they got
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: everybody that was in the room got to witness it,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: and people were still willing to go through with it.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Ah pass. Yeah.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's the reason why they don't show
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: people those types of procedures, because if they saw what happened,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: they wouldn't want to go through with it themselves. I'm
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: not even just and I'm not just talking about castration.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about anything like if you see somebody get
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: a tooth pulled, you're not exactly going to line.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Up for it, even though it's very very safe.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I used to when the Learning Channel
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: used to have actual stuff you could learn, I would
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: watch all the surgeries. That's that was my favorite thing
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: to do in college. Yeah.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I still remember two of them that I watched. I
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: remember watching an arthroscopic knee surgery once and then the
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: other one that always sticks out in my mind, no
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: pun intended, was of an infant brain surgery.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Ooh nice.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I didn't know it at first because I
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: just turned on the Learning Channel with a bullet spaghetti.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not making that up, by the way, and I
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: just see like a white round thing, like a little
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: bit of something below it, kind of on the edge
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: around the drapery right, And I was trying to figure
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: out for the first five minutes as I'm digging into
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: MYSKETI like, what surgery is this because they didn't have
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: anything up on the screen to tell you.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: And then about six minutes in, they grabbed that little
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: tuft next to the surgical drapery and pulled it up
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: and it was a face that they pulled back up
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: over the head. And that's when they showed little graphic
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: that said infant brain surgery.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: And I was, oh, I was captivated.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: You you think you would have thought I'd throw up
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: right then and there, but I was even more just
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: glued to it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: My favorite was the the A c L cadaver replacement,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Like when they took the cadaver A c L and
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: put it in to do the reconstructive surgery. That was
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: fantastic to watch. But yeah, you watched real life face off?
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yes I did, and back off and back on and
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: back off.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: It was freaky, man, was the doctor. That's what I
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: would keep doing to the staff. I'm like, this chalked.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: This is the most effed up game of peekaboo we've
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: ever played.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: And there there is a show on Netflix. Uh it's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: about the trauma. It's about the trauma centers in London,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and they show graphic graphic stuff including that's it where
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: they had to reconstruct some guy's face and they show
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the pulling down like it's like a man a h
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and then you know, do the work and then pull
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: it back up and you're like, oh, okay.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Who my MAT's wife. She tried to do a Mary
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Poppins thing, you know, the sliding up the rail when
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: she was just I think a couple of years old,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: and she fell off and landed face first on the ground.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: They said, if she wasn't a child, it would have
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: like it would have killed the normal human being. And
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: it was supposed to be a four and a half
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: hour reconstructive facial surgery because she, I mean destroyed her
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: entire face. And the doctor went in same thing, pulled
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: her face down and there was one bone that he
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: started with and when he when he grabbed it, everything
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: fell into place. So what was a four hour surgery
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: ended up being forty minutes and she fully recovered after that.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, dude, that shit is Oh I can't waitch.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Also on also on Netflix, there is a show How
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: to Become a cult leader.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, I know what I'm about to watch.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: They did at least two of them, how to become
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a tyrant, How to become a cult leader?
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Can I become a tyrannical cult leader?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I just watching them too.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Why are we giving out lessons in these things? I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: don't think that's something you should just be able to
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: search how to like on YouTube.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I feel like that's no that I don't. Let's not
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: make it that simple. My question is, would you guys
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: join my cult? Do you have snacks? Yep? Okay, what
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: kind of snacks were looking for?
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I'll get them kind of snacks are you offering?
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do cheese its and gatorade? What are you thinking?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: You know me better than that. That's not bad, but
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: that's not how you're going.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: To get you. I'll give you nineteen water Burger tiketos
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: as you get out of my car and drop half
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: of them on the way into your house.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: You know what that happened one time, and if you
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: can make it half this second time, you might have
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: something of a cult.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: That's not snacks. That's Jamison. That's what that was. Yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I can go for some trail mix and uh, you know,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: get you some protein powders and you can kind of
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: mix it into whatever you want to do. I know
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: you like to stay fit and stay healthy, and I'll
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: trade the same way.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: And I'm assuming as a cult leader, you want us
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: to stay that way. You don't want us, you know,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: letting our cult bods go.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I don't want I don't want
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: thousand pound sisters, uh or or in your cases, a
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: thousand pound brothers.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I don't want that because the idea of having your
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: cult is that people will follow you. I don't think
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: they'll follow you if they can't get up. The idea
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: of a cult shouldn't be you go to them. They
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: should follow you like like people did with Jesus and
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: walk around and stuff.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I need to send that take that advice
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: to Jehovah's witness and they're doing it wrong.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: You've got you've got to be so good, you've got
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: to be so electric that the people come to you,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: not you just you know, bothering them.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: It's an old joke, but my dad actually did it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: These two ladies Jehovah's Witnesses that were they have the
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: watch towers their magazine right or their newsletter, and my
• 35:23
