• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Wednesday, June eleventh,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: two thy twenty five. Gen Z is at it again. Everyone,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: brace yourselves. College students are using no contact orders to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: block each other in real life. The notice of no
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: contact order landed in May's inbox February fifteenth, twenty twenty two.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It was stern and lawyerly and contained a bulleted list
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of prohibited behaviors between May, then a two Lane freshman,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and her former roommate. No approaching each other at any time,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: no communicating through third parties, no social media interactions whatsoever.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: The directive, which came from two Lane's Division of Student Affairs,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: was based on the right of every two Lane community
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: member to avoid contact with another community member if such
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: contact may be harmful or detrimental. Though the measure was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: reportedly nondisciplinary, it ended on an ominous note a violation
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of disorder could result in an immediate interim suspension and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: against conduct charges to you. Okay, May thought a no
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: contact order. The campus version of a restraining order was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: for cases of sexual misconduct. Could she be in serious trouble?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Mat requested the order? Had their disagreement?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Are they still roommates? Because that I think everybody violates
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that order then form a roommate.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, but again it's this is they don't know what
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: to do with conflict in real life. Yeah, they it
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: absolutely it. It makes them just fall apart because oh no, no,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: my my ex or daughter when she went to a
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: charter school here, you couldn't.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: You couldn't. There was no bullying, there was no conflict whatever.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Everything's recorded and if somebody said something disparaging to another student,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: they were taken into another room h and a student
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: mediator and a teacher were in the room and they
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: had to talk it out before they could go back
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to wherever they were going. And they would have to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: resolve like why did you say that, what's going on
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: at home? Why would you say? Why would you isolate
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: this person? Like? And that that was how they kind
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of that was their conflict resolution. They didn't do it themselves.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: There were people that intervened, and so now you're off
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: in college and there's nobody there and you have to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: do it Yourself's and they can't. That's exactly what you're saying.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: They can't. They can't do it because there's nobody there
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to help. I would like a no contact order with
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: all of gen Z. Where do I file? Because I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: would like to not have any contact with any of them?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Ever, I was hoping this no contact order was something
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you could put in your door dash. So not only
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: do I get a cheeseburger, but also they tell my roommate,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to you anymore.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You might be onto something. He used to be called
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: a process server, but now we'll just give it an
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: app and a fun name. We'll just have to find
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a really cool name for it, and all the gen
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Z kids will love it. And yeah, you can just
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: show up and hand somebody papers. The race is why.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Like so.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Some of the bigger restaurants company now they have an
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: HR department, which, if you've ever worked in a restaurant,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the concept of an HR department is mind boggling because
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: especially I mean just the kitchen staff alone, that that
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: that is not a HR friendly PC place to be. Yes,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: and they literally if if this happened to a friend
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of mine and she is jen, she's on the kind
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: of the borderline between gen X and millennial. But you
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: can't even you know, you have to have someone with
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you to go, hey, you've been late five days in
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: a row. We need you to correct that problem because
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: if not, then you're gonna they're gonna go to HR
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: and go, well they were mean to me.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hostal work environment, uh huh.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And then when the gen Z people are becoming managers,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: they're completely ineffective because then they have to go and
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: have these conversations and they don't. They don't know what
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: to do. They've never had real where we used to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: just get in a fight. They don't have that. If
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: it's if if they're face to face, they don't know
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: what to do.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what I was. I think it was
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Google that did the story on this, where like gen
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Z they're the worst employees because they don't they don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: know what authority is. So like they look at their bosses,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: their buddy. I think I've talked about this before. It's like, hey,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: where are those you know we had a deadline. Where
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: are those reports that I needed on Friday?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't get to them because they don't Hey,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it's my buddy, he's gonna be cool with it, like
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I was busy. And then when they get fired. The
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: suicide rate that is going up for gen Z employees
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that when they get fired kill themselves because it's such
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a direct like they think that that attack was directly
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: on them and not their behavior at work. It's them
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: as a person, not like you didn't turn into reports,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you're a terrible person, and they can't deal with that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: They there was a study where they don't the concept
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: of deadlines and like promptness. Being on time they think
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: is a very fluid thing. They have no concept of
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: hard deadlines.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You cannot equate time with your gender identity at the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: same time, like one of these things needs to be concrete.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Pick one. You can't be both. Look, you could be
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a dude but beyond time. You can say you're a girl,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: but beyond time, or you can never be on time
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and then you can be whatever you feel like that day.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: On the other side, Yeah, I'd like my pronouns to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: be I'm late, Like that's what it would be like,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: not on time, Like that's what my pronoun should be Like,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that'd be fantastic. Jesus.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a no contact order through the school to then
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: be delivered to the roommate.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: That is yeah wow. And I feel bad for the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: school because I mean they're relying on tuitions, they're relying
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: on you know, enrollment, so they have to appeal and
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: it's I'm sure it sucks for them, but they have
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to appease that rule where it's like, Okay, well they're
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: gonna leave that, we'll lose that that revenue because I mean,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, a college is still
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: a business and they have to have people spending money.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: First off, tu Lane is a private school, and you know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: if they fought, they are fostering that environment and it's
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: gonna come back and bite them in the ass. They
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: should be like that, that's not I mean, this is
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the whole problem of appeasement. This we got to this
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: place in society because of appeasement. Instead of saying no, no,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: you you can't have it both ways. You have to
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: do you pick one. You can't change, you can't you
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: there there are some things you just you can't do.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: The word no, the word no, and you go, hey, no,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: we're not getting in the middle of y'all squabble, you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: because what happened, what happens when they you know, Tu
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Lanes right outside of New Orleans. I mean, so if
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: they're on Bourbon Street at the same time, did someone
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: violate the order? I mean, it's yeah, it's insane.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm fine if they want to do some new
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: inventive ways for conflict resolution, because evidence suggests that just
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: beating the crap out of the kids like we were
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: didn't exactly have the result they were hoping. Now they've
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: kind of overcorrected. But if you want to have the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: kids sit down and hammer it out verbally and emotionally
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: while being directed by an adult expert, fine, But also
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: while you're doing that, teach them how to do it
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: for themselves as well as opposed to constantly relying on
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: an adult in the room, because one of these days
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: they're technically going to be adults like these college kids,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to live life on their own.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: See try. I think you're missing out on an opportunity here,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and I need you to go to the guy that
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: owns three coin and go to him in a new
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: division for bare knuckle boxing. Like you have your heavyweights,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: your welter weights, your bantam weights, now you can have
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the no content students and how they resolve their dispute
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: is get in the ring, fight it out.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: That's interesting.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I like it. You know from two lane she has
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a you know, a zero to two record or whatever
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: it is. She uh has a dispute with the challenger
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and then fight.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Or there's just a job opportunity here for Trade to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: be gen Z's enforcer. He can just be for higher
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and he'll just handle your conflict resolution for you because
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Trade loves yelling at kids.

• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: is Wednesday, June eleventh, twenty twenty five. We don't typically
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: focus on travel news or airline news, but I'm actually
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: kind of reconsidering it because there's been some really dumb
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: stuff happening in the skies lately and on the ground,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to share those with you right now.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: We mentioned earlier how gen z is doing no contact
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: orders at colleges, so they can, you know, separate from
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: their roommate through paperwork through the school. I thought it
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: was something that they could just do with the door
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Dash delivery. That's not right. But door Dash and Chicago's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: O'Hair Airport kind of collided the other day. We'll not collided,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: but they're in the same space at the same time.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: They're not supposed to. A lost door Dash driver ended
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: up on the tarmac at Chicago's o Hair Airport. And
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: when I mean i'm the tarmac, I don't mean like
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: just kind of wandering around on the fringes like the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: bus and speed No, I mean like pulling up in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the lanes next to delta jets being loaded for flight.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Just like did anybody order a taco?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I would love at that moment somebody's like, yep, right here,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: thank you so much. Bonus, these guys are great. We
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: want to talk about.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, hell, in some places you can't get the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: door Dash drivers show up. So I mean at least
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this person's going all out, going right through the airport
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: trying to try and deliver that bag of food.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I'm not even sure which where to go. I mean,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: obviously the airport. How have we gotten that lax of
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: security that you know, anyone can just drive on the tarmac.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: And then, on the other hand, if you're the door
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: dash driver, don't you think a runway is a bad
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: place to be.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a whole lot of stupid going on in
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: this story.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I just like he pulls up to the gate, like
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the security guards. There's like, I have a delivery, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that guy goes, yeah, Terminal three.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: All that stupidity aside, because Tray, You're right, it's a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: massive security concern that a door dash driver was able
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to just wander onto the freaking tarmac at one of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the busiest airports in the world. It's also stunningly stupid
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: how the driver didn't stop to think that, you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: this doesn't seem right. This is not a normal door
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: dash delivery. All that being said, I've been on the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: raw end of Google Maps on bake cation. A handful
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of years ago. My wife and I were on the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: US Virgin Island Saint Croix, and we were going we
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: were done on Saint Croix. We were going back to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the airport and trying to bring our car hang out.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Bless you, Bless you again, bless you.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So we're trying to return our rental car to
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the to the avas at the Saint Croix Airport, and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: we're using the Google Maps on our phones to give
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: us directions to the airport right to drop off the car.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Technically the directions worked. It got us to the airport.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: The problem is it got us on the north side
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of the airport, next to the tarmac, not anywhere near
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the terminals or the avs.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: If you're on an island, I can understand how how
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Google Maps may not be exact and that happens. I
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I feel quite sure Chicago's pretty well mapped out.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I would hope so.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But you know how, like in those apps, like
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: you can say, like in any like map app, you
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: can say, I don't want the toe ways. I don't
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: want you know, maybe it's like I want to avoid
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: gang violence and Chicago Chicago rerouting was like, all right,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to go through the airport.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: There's just no other way. Sorry.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: We calculated all the possible routes.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: This is the only one, and we're still not sure.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: But it actually catch a flight out of Chicago.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Why is my pizza in Kentucky.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse
• 15:50

• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of duty. And we've been very fortunate over the years
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: to partner with some outstanding companies wanting to help. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: today we get to add Cook DFW's name to that
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: list of excellent sponsors to the foundation because Daniel, you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and your wife Carrie have said, you know what, we
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: love our community and we want to do something to
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: give back to our first responders in DFW.
• 16:32

• 16:36
  Speaker 7: Carrie has given to the foundation for quite so many years.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: But now at a company level, I think we are
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: wanting to definitely, you know, beefed up and start giving
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: back to the foundation. And it's unfortunately, this is a
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: foundation nobody wants to have to donate to, but it's
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: the real world is that these things do happen, and
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: it's it's it's the type of foundation that you know
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: one around, but you definitely want it to be, you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: available to the families that need it. And so over
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: the next couple of months, you know, a portion of
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: all the proceeds from the work done from Treehouse listeners
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: that call in and let us know that they heard
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: about you on the show, we're going to be donating
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: to the RMS tree House Listeners Foundation and making sure
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: that we can keep that very stable in the accounting
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: side and have funds available that when the families need it,
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: it's going to be there. So we're very fortunate to
• 17:30

  Speaker 1: Treehouse Show. I'm Dan, He's trade. That's Raj just talking
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: about the door Dash delivery driver that got lost trying
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to deliver a bag of food. And by lost, I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: mean I guess he was routed. Like whatever the app
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: was that was giving him directions to the delivery, the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: app gave him directions right through the Chicago O'Hare airport.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: You're right, there are stipulations you can put in there
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: as far as delivery notes and things. So Rogers, I
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: think you.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Like, you know, you want to. I'm sure the app
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, here you're where you're delivering this to
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: It's like the South side of Chicago. It's like, Okay,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: here's what you need to do. Uh, you're gonna take
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: this exit. You're going to go straight onto the tarmac.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: You're going to get on that flight, and when it's
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: over kind of where you think it's supposed to be,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: throw that pizza out the window. Hopefully it just Landswerber
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: needs to go deep dish.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they if they put in there, I
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: only want to take the safest, you know, route available.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: That may be the only option.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: It also brings up a solid argument for drone delivery.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: If you told that out of a plane, then the
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: next line is door desh driver kill someone with dominoes.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Well, not to be outdone, there is an even dumber
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: airline story. All right, here we go. American Airlines sent
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: a plane from the United States to Italy that was
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: too big for its destination airport, so it wasn't even
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: allowed to land. Uh planning, My god.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that happens. How does that? What's
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the refund policy on that?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Well, the flight goes to go to Naples, but the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: plane that they sent was too big to land at
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Naples Airport, so they had to change course to Rome.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Oh god, Okay.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Now I've never been to Italy. I don't know how
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: far apart those two cities actually are, but I do
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: know there's a big difference between a plane landing in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Houston versus Amarillo.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but but people had plans, like you know, it's like,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I know you guys wanted to celebrate your anniversary in Naples,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: But how about Germany? Have you seen Frankfurt's lovely this
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: time of year?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, but but don't you think you would hope
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: we're at a point where someone's filling out the flight data.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: You know, there's got to be a system and and
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I believe this one was a seven eight seven Dreamliner,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: And when they put seven eight seven in the type
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: of plane, it goes, uh, you can't do that. And
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: you know, like if I get the expiration dat on
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: my credit card wrong on a thing, it kicks, it
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: won't go through and it kicks me back. You would
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: hope there's at least that minimum safeguard and somewhere in
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: our our airline planning, because.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the guy who goes was off that day,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: so why he wasn't able to physically make the noise when.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: You he was a DEI fire. I mean, we had
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the one gen Z kid that was supposed to be
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: making their noises, but they got got caught up in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the doge.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: No no Alexa, no Siri, no nothing. I mean, come on,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: there's gotta be some cisron place.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: All fired. Now you just have to guess how long
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: is the runway. I think it could fit a seven
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: eighty seven. Send them to Naples. Let's go and see
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: what happens.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I think the other part of that's awesome, besides the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: obvious part that the plane was too big to land
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: at that spot, is this is a transatlantic flight. It
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: took off from Philadelphia, was supposed to land in Naples.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: The flight wasn't notified they were too big to land
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: in Naples until they were seventy miles away. They had
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: hours to be told y'all too big.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure until they made contact with the tower
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: at the Naples Airport. They're like, no, no, no, there's
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: no way. Thanks, we don't we don't want to run
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: right into this. You're gonna you're gonna run right into
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: this vineyard. Oh we can't, we can't have we can't
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: do that buddy uh Rome, maybe like let's just let's
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: check out and see if that works.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, can you imagine, like you have a big family.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I know a buddy of mine just went and he's
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: got like eighteen twenty people that were on this flight
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: because it was big family reunion, like grandmother was turning
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: like one hundred years old or something like that. Like
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: everybody was like, can you imagine doing that? And like, yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: see if you can get her to Rome. I know
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: she's a hundred and she might die on the trip,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: but that's where we have to land. There's so many
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: inconveniences though, just because they didn't check to see the
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: link of the runway.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: All right, are you ready for this next one? Because
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: this next story is even dumber than American Airline sending
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: a plane that's too big to land at an airport
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: in Italy.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: All right, here you go.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: H Are you guys familiar with the new real ID
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: requirements to travel?
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, on your on your ID, you got the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: gold star are and that's the mark of the real ID.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: You have to have that in order to fly these days. Well,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: some people may not have that ID yet, so they're
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: scouring through their wallets trying to find some piece of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: identification that has a gold Star on it, and some people,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to their absolute glee, found their Costco card. It's got
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: their name, it's got their photo, and a gold star
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: because they're gold Star members. The problem is that don't work,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and this has happened so many times that the Transportation
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Security Administration had to release a statement to the public
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: telling them stop trying to use your Costco card as
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a replacement for a real ID. It's not the same.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: In fact, TSA posted on Facebook that said travelers cannot
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: use the Costco card to fly. They even said, we
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: love hot dogs and rotisserie chickens as much as the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: next person, but please stop telling people their Costco card
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: counts as a real ID, because it absolutely does not.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's got your picture on it, name,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: date of birth.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I mean the Costco the Costco store does tout the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: member benefits quite highly. Mm hmm yeah, I mean, just imagine,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: just imagine that benefit if you walk into Costco and say,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: not only can you get access to all these wonderful
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: goods and items at phenomenal prices, but you can also
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: use this Costco membership card at the airport. Sign me up.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you have to show it to get
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: into the Costco. I think it should be okay to
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: get on the plane. I mean, that's as good as
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: a passport. I mean, if you if you're asking me,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just saying.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I think we found the problem. I think what happened
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: is when American Airlines decided they were going to send
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: that Boeing play that was too big to land in Naples.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: It's because they bought it at Costco and it was
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: too big.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: They're buying dream Lenders in bulk.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: That's a box of fifty dream Lighters. Let's see if
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: we can make him land that poor sample. Lady, you
• 26:18

  Speaker 1: of the noises today. I'm sneezing, I'm burping. My god, look,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and I think I know why. I think it's what Trey,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I see you over there? Mm hmm. Anyway, maybe my body's.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: What it's early remind you know, reminds me eily of somebody.

  Speaker 2: How dare you? You might want to go check see

• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Speaking of how dare you?
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I know when you send me stories, Trey, sometimes what
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: you're getting at Sometimes you're cute and subtle. Other Times
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: you're as subtle as a sledgehammer, or in this case,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you're about as subtle as a giant pencil. You know
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: why I know that, because you're a giant for sending
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: me this story. Why a Minneapolis neighborhood sharpens a giant
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: pencil every year? This is what happens. Okay, everyone, just
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: here's what I need you to do. Ignore Trey and
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Raj for a moment. Just listen to me. Just pay attention.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: This is what happens when you confide something to your friends.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: This is what happens as a man. When you share
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: something vulnerable with your buddies, they use it against you
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: to torment, bully.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I send it. I think it's a vacation destination for you,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: a pilgrimage if you will.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: To bully and torment under the guise of oh, this
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: is a good thing for you. That's called gas lighting.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: That's what this is.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Just so many dans in one spot.
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: Look, when I was a little kid, I had a
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: big pencil that had my name on it. It's not
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: because I was confusing my big pencil with anybody else's
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: big pencil.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I was the only kid that had the big pencil.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: But they still wanted to make sure they knew it
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: was mine, so they put Danny on it. Okay, there
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: you go. There was like some sort of gag gift.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: We got it at six Flags or something. No, you
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: don't get a time outrage.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Just saying you just said you set it up for me.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: You were in class, you had a big pencil, nobody
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: else had one, but they still had to put your
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: name on it.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: They didn't have to. They got to you were.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Losing the only pencil that only one person. Where does
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: my big pencil keep going? Nobody else has one put
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: his name on it. You'll find it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So in Trace, he's a story that a town
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: of Minneapolis sharpens a giant pencil every year. Of course
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: he's gonna send that straight to me and go he
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: look look what I got.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: This will be fun today, giant age.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I'll admit though, as mad as I am, I'm genuinely curious.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: More than one thousand people gathered on Saturday in a
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: scenic Minneapolis neighborhood for an annual ritual, the sharpening of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a gigantic number two pencil, the twenty foot tall Jesus,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: that's a big pencil. The twenty foot tall pencil was
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: sculpted out of a mammoth oak tree at the home
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: of John and Amy Higgins. The beloved tree was damaged
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: in the storm a few years ago when fierce winds
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: twisted off the crown. Neighbors mourned. A couple even wept.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: It's probably my biological parent. But the Higginses saw it
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: not so much as a loss, but as a chance
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to give the tree New Life. The sharpening ceremony on
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: their front lawn has evolved into a community spectacle that
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: draws hundreds of people to the leafy neighborhood on the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Lake of the Isles, complete with music and pageantry. Some
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: people even dress as pencils or erasers. Two Swiss alporn
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: players provided part of this year's entertainment, Jesus Christ Stupid.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: The hosts commemorated a Minneapolis icon, the late music superstar Prince,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: by handing out giant purple pencils on what would have
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: been his sixty seventh birthday. And I think it's time
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that I take my pilgrimage.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I think he might be the Grand Puba again with
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: a big eraser hat.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: He get, you get to wave to the crowd.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Rachel Hyman said she flew in from Chicago for the event,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: probably with somebody's pizza. Dressed in a pencil costume. Rachel said,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: some man is sharpening a pencil on his lawn and
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: this is what happens. Yeah, I'm going to be a
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: part of it. How can you not life is too short? Well,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: you know what's not too short? That pencil because they
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: haven't over sharpened it just enough.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think this is your your chance. You
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: would be the norm. And that's cheers. And you know,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: the minute they saw you.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I am home and they've already got a spot set
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: up for me.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Uh huh. And it's got a big wooden house looking
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: thing that you can run headfirst into and that's what
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: kicks off the bread.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Your helmet's an eraser.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Other events are started with starting pistols. You know, this
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: one started with my forehead smashing against pieces of wood.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: There's just a giant scantron at the end. Oh, it's
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: gonna be great.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: In my version, it's a big chief tablet.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Did you have one of those?
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Of course you have to have a big chief tablet
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to go with your big pencil.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you stro.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Had illegal patent matt pencils. I don't know what you
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: guys did. That's the Asian starter kid. I wasn't taking notes,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I was taking depositions there, buddy.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, the good news is I've got just
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: under a year to start planning my trip for next year.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, I want to win the lottery so bad, so
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: we can do a live event from this thing. What
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: what is the name of it? Is there? Is there
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: a name like the Great Pencil Sharpening. It's like the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: pumpkin patch for the slow.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Kids, Raj. They're only slow because the pencil is so big.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: The pencil waits too much.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you got to use two hands. Great pencil Festival, you.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Know, Rajer. You got it wrong though. If you win
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: the lottery, if I win the lottery, it's not we
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: need to build Dan a log cabin out of giant pencils.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, your new vacation home.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the problem is you two are you two are
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: big enough that what you'll do is you'll make the
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: threshold at the front door short, so I smack my
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: head on it every time I walk in.
• 34:50

  Speaker 1: Treehouse Show. I'm Daniel Malley along with Tredy Trenholman, Raj Sharma.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Today is Wednesday, June eleventh, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: today with some birthdays. Caitlin Naked is twenty six today.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: She played or plays Enid on The Walking Dead. I'm
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: not sure, Honest to god, I'm not sure what versions
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: of those shows are still on, just because I just
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I tapped out so many years ago. It just seems
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: odd to me that the shows are even still going.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: And at this point I kind of feel bad for
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: some of the actors on the show because I'm brain farting,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: brain farting on her name. I think it's Cohen. The
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: actress that plays Maggie has been on the show since
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that season one, right, yeah, season one. She's been on
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the show since season one. I don't even know what
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: season they're on us. She's still on that damn show.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel bad for she gets to watch
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: all these other people go off and do other things.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Like John Burnhal was out at like season three, I think,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: and then now he's a major movie star. Andrew Lincoln
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: was so burned down and Walking Dead. I'm not even
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: sure what he's done since then, other than just count money.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Other actors on that show have gone on to do
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: other things. The guy, the old guy who played her
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: dad in the film. He was so sick of the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: show at one point that he went off and got
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: a duy on a Georgia back road try to get
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: out of it by doing yoga.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Is there footage of this? Because I want to see.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I need to double check. But my point is I
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: get I now understand why some people, some actors say
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of playing this role. I'm tired of doing
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: this thing. Time for me to move on and do
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: something else. I get that now.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she got paid. I'm sure they threw a
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: they threw bags of money at her. And then her
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: syndication deals are going to be I mean through the roof.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: She's going to make millions forever and ever and ever.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: So I hope.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I have seen zero episodes of any form
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: of The Walking Dead.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: High five Trey, me too.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: The first season is really really good.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: That's what everybody says.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: The first few seasons. The first few seasons are really
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: really good, and then after a while you're like, yeah,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I think I'm done.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Unless Woody Harrelson's in it. Zombie anything has just no
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: appeal to me.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't like when people got you got
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: to watch the first two seasons after that it sucks.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Why am I getting invested in two seasons worth of
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: a TV show if the rest of it's gonna suck?
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I'm good not watching it at all.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Oh but you're missing out No, apparently, according to you,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: You bring up a great point, though, that is if
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: you know the ending is bad or at some point
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the show is like the Walking Dead, there is no end,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: it just keeps going, but people tell you it gets
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: bad at a certain point, do you invest any time
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: at all? Because I've wondered this myself, like when it
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: comes to Game of Thrones. I was fully invested in
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, and it took a handful of episode
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: for me to truly get into it before I realized, Okay, yeah,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I love this show. And then by the last season,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I was so mad at the last season the way
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: it ended, and it just felt rushed and just terrible
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that it has me to where I don't even want
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: to go back and watch it again. And if I
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: had never seen an episode knowing how angry everybody was
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: after the last season and the last episode, I think
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: it would turn me off to not everyone to see
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: it like you raj uh.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: That's what happened. Like I struggled to get through the
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: first season of Game of Thrones, and it was right
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: after the last season had had come out, and I'm
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: sure that did affect my decision of I don't want
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: to invest any more time in this because the first
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: season was like pulling teeth to get through.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: And wasn't it like they did, Like half the actors
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: didn't even want to do the final episode because they
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: were that legitimately jaded from the show, like they that's
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: why they people said it felt rush like they had
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: to get people like we'll pay you.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: It was the Riders. I mean everyone said the Riders
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: just phoned it in on that.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the creators of the show, they had gotten a
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: deal to make a Star Wars thing, and they were
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: so excited to get started on that that they completely
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: mailed in the last season of Game of Thrones. And
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: because they jacked that last season of Game of Thrones,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: that Star Wars deal went away.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, they should have just done a crossover. That
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: would have been I would have watched that Game of Wookies.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: That would be nice. I'm just saying, dragons fighting wookies.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: A bunch of little a bunch of little Yoda hookers.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Yes see, now I'm invested in this show.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Come to think of it, there already is somewhat of
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: a crossover appeal between Game of Thrones and Star Wars.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Both shows have incest.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, and most of the people watching both shows also
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: live in basements, so there's that.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: But the Game of Thrones incest, they were honest about it.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Star Wars tried to cover it up, be like no, no, no,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: we knew the whole time.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: No you didn't, Oh yeah, oh yeah the yeah, yeah, okay.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Game of Thrones owned its incest. Star Wars tried to
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: tried to play it off as not that was.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: That's a weird way to describe that show. Yeah, Game
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: of Thrones, we're all about incest.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, as bad as the last season
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: was of Game of Thrones, they did get one thing right.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: They torched Aaron Rodgers. I never saw he was an
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: extra when I think it was one of the last
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: episodes of that last season the Game of Thrones. There's
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: an Aaron Rodgers very brief extra appearance. He's running because
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: like the dragons, that uh Mama of dragons is unleashed
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: on the city and it's killing all these innocent people.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: He was one of the innocent people running away from
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the dragons and he got torched by one of them.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Interesting. I wonder if you knew he was on the
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: show or that was just a really awesome Ayahuasca trip.
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: Dragons.

  Speaker 4: A day.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of these inside the Treehouse, but
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: it's still got to call it out. A day that
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: will live in infamy here inside the Treehouse because this
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: is the day that I share with you. Trey and
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: U Raj and you the Dear Sweet Treehouse show listener.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: One of the worst competitions I have ever seen in
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: my life. You are watching the Seagulls Screeching competition that
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: got held last week in Japan Belgium. Sixty contestants from
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: fourteen different countries gathered in the town for a chance
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: to be crowned the best seagull imitator at the fifth
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: European Goal Screeching Championship. The competition aims to create a
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: positive image of the essential coastal bird, which are often
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: despised by the public for their intrusive behavior like this.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Gotta say that's a pretty good one. But these are
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: all people. Many of these people are dressed up as seagulls,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: and they're screeching quite loudly into a microphone too closely,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: if you ask me. Because I'm a radio professional and
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I understand, know and appreciate mike placement, these people do not.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: So they're screaming and screeching into microphones while dressed as seagulls,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: some of them in group form or in the case
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: and this young lady, she has makeup to match the
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: seagull costume that she's wearing.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Some of them in groups, some of them buyork.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for how long. I'm just waiting to
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: see how long it is before Trey recognizes that all
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: these competitors are female.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: And these people look down on us. And this is
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: when I said, this is the video they show and
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: you're like, you don't believe we's a gateway drug. Here
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: we go. This is what I think.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: It's understandable for them to look down on us. They
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: think they're birds flying high above us. And I sure
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: as hell I'm not going to tell them, Motherwy because
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I just want him
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: to shut up. Sweet Jesus. For all things Treehouse, go
