• 1:53
  Speaker 1: hard enough time keeping my own schedule, let alone his,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: especially when he tells me the morning of what it is.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Even though he's known for weeks, you and I never
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: find out until the morning of. So yeah, so thank
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you for the correction. I didn't see the newly updated
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: travel form from RAG. All Right, today is June twenty six,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Today is Thursday. We're right there, right
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: near the end of the week and right on the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: cusp of a new month. And this is not necessarily
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a seasonal announcement. It's just a major announcement that I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: think some people might be excited to hear. But I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: need you to brace yourselves for it, because this is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: an announcement that I don't think most people can truly
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: prepare themselves for. All Right, so here we go, A
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: new best place to have herpes has been named. Finally,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know there was a good place
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to have have herpes. I just they were all bad.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I assumed it was Texas State and San Marcos, But
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Is it sad?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: When I first saw the headline best place to have herpes,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I wondered, is there another spot on the body besides
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you know, the groin and the mouth, Like, do you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: want a fingertip herpes? I don't really want I herpes?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Do you want nipple herpes? I mean, there's all sorts
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of locations on the body where you don't want herpes,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And honestly, you don't want herpes anywhere. But the more
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the human race continues humping each other, we're all basically
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: going to have every possible STD all at the same time. Anyway,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So you know what, if you're out there and you're
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: swinging it around and you're slinging that around, just get
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it all out of the way.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Just get it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But if you're curious, I am, the best place to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: have herpes on planet Earth is New Zealand. Okay, yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: much like herpes. I didn't see that coming.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't. Yeah, that's uh, that's surprising.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, it's self admitted. It's not like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: someone just posted it in a weird forum online that
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: people found out about, or an awkward comment on a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Facebook post New Zealand. New Zealand has said we are
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the best place in the world to have herpes, so
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: much so they actually started a website, the best place
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in the World to have herpes dot com. Honest to god,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I bet they had no problem registering that domain name.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: They didn't have to worry about saying damn it, someone
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: already got that. We're gonna have to go with a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: dot net or a dot info. Nope, that one was
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: free and available, or.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Back in the old days, were to be dot n z.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh and this is this is actually a somewhat
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of a stunt by the New Zealand Herpees Foundation.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Wile herpes has a foundation, I am learning something new
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: every minute today.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that the New Zealand Herpes Foundation is simply
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: spreading awareness and not more herpees. I'd like to see
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: what their mission statement is. But according to the New
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Zealand Herpes Foundation, to fix our national pride, the solution
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is obvious herpes. That was the pitch made by the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: charity New Zealand Herpes Foundation last October when it launched
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a campaign to make the country the best place to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: have the infection. That campaign has been a roaring success,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: winning a top prize at this year's can Lyons Awards,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: which recognize excellence in the creative industry. So I guess
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it's just basically advertising campaign. The campaign, which aimed to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: destigmatize herpes via a faux tourism ad, was awarded the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Grand Prix for Good, a category that seeks to highlight
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: work by nonprofit organizations and charities. The video starred Sir
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Graham Henry, the former head coach of the national rugby
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: union team. In it, he touted the past successes of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: New Zealand and lamented its diminishing sources of national pride,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: such as an embarrassingly low sheep to human ratio and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: pies that are pushing seven bucks. He said, we need
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: something new to be proud of, something big and brave,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to put us back on the map. That's what he
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: said as he scrawled the words herpies in all capital
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: letters on a chalkboard. It's time for New Zealand to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: become the best place in the world to have herpes.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Congratulations New Zealand, you won the Big Advertising Award.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Are the achillies that desperate.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, just maybe they want to challenge, because, honest
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to God, when someone asks, you know, hey, what's one
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of the most beautiful places on Earth, I'd probably say
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: New zer because a good chunk of the fun and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: interesting things that came out of the Hobbit movies was
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: all the different locations that they shot in New Zealand, Like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that's a beautiful place. And those movies were so popular
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that New Zealand even built a true life Hobbit village
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: just like that you saw in the films. Now, I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: gotta wonder if the Hobbitses have the herpeses.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if Frodo and Samwise had cult sores.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, it would have made that frolicking on the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: bed a little h little more odd.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And now we know I saw Ron was keeping such
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: an eye on them, I would too, cut off my mountain.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: You're in good Treehouse visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Let's get Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: into the Treehouse for your free roof in Spectrum and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to get that scheduled today call him eight three three
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Cook DFW. The website COOKDFW dot com. Daniel, is it
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: possible to completely hail proof your house?
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately, Dan, No, that that's you know, they haven't come
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: out with any products that's going to be, you know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: be able to withstand all hell. Now they have come
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: out with a lot of products that are hail resistant,
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: and it does increase your likelihood of not having to
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: replace your roof.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: As long.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Promotion that we're doing right now for June is we're
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: upgrading clients to a class for shingles for this whole
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: purpose is to try to extend the life of the
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: roof and hopefully they don't have to go through as
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: many insurance claims.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And so those are.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Things that you know you can do.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You can put metal roof.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: On it, but they get dense and they don't cosmetically
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: look that good after a couple of hell storms. And
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: so there's other materials out there that are rubberized, but
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: there's nothing that truly hailproof, and especially in certain parts
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: of the of the area that gets super large hell.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: So a lot of options though, we can definitely come
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: out and give those to you because you can get
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: insurance premium discounts and different things like that. So definitely
• 9:06

• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Malley along with Trey Trenholm. Today's Thursday, June twenty six,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Going back to New Zealand claiming itself
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: as the best place in the world to have herpes.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: The story that I read it was more about the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: ad campaign and how it was a faux ad campaign
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: for tourism. But they don't really get into the actual
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: nuts and bolts as to why they think New Zealand
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is a great place to have herpes, other than they
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: just want a new source of national pride or it's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: just because the views are really pretty. So I'm still
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: kind of confused as to why they would want to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: champion that of all things to you know. But they did,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and it got and it made a which is great
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: for them. But I'm still left with questions.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: If you had said Australia, I would have been like, Okay, yeah,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: that lines up dirty Aussies. I get it, sure, But
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: yeah I don't. I don't understand the point. You know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you say they're championing, championing the cause of herpes. I mean,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: are are they advocating for more people to get it?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Again? I have questions and you too. And that's what
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: happens when you see some of these types of stories,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is it begs more questions than I have ever had.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean it does, like if I guess, like if
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you're I think it's like I think I've seen like
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the herpes medication commercials, and it's usually whenever like those
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: medication commercials come on, there's usually someone taking a hike
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: somewhere and they're in nature and doing something. I mean,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: there's few places on Earth more beautiful than New Zealand.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: So if your plan is to go on a hike
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: in New Zealand and you have herpes or I'm sorry,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: if you have herpes and you want to go someplace
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: pretty for a hike, I guess New Zealand is saying,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: what better place than here?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you just feel like I guess there's missing something,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you know, something's missing in your life and it's herpes,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and there's where you go, Like I I've read that
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: there's a rise of STDs because, uh, you know, when
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: we were in high school and growing up, AIDS was terrifying,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and you know, we were just absolutely hit over the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: head of safe sex, safe sex, safe sex, and yeah,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: you don't see that anymore. There's no because you know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: even HIV is not really uh, I mean, it's treatable
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: at this.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Point, very treatable. Kids these days are getting the HPV
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: vaccination like around I think originally it was twelve. Now
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I think they can get it as early as like
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: nine or ten. So yeah, that's where you know, the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: science part comes in, and the vaccinations and treatments of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: various things, you know, certainly help. I did see in
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: here that here it is in that story talking about
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: New Zealand saying we're the best place in the world
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: for herpes. Around one in three sexually active adults in
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: New Zealand has the virus that causes genital herpes, though
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: most have mild or no symptoms and can lead ordinary lives.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: That's according to the New Zealand Herpes Foundation. So the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: idea is is partly to destigmatize the herpes infection among
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: people one in three. That sounds high.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: That sounds that sounds very high.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe now we know why the Tasmanian devil
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: is so angry, just rampant herpes infections. Yeah, I don't
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: know what it currently is in the United States. I
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: think I remember hearing that it's like one in five
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: or one in six with HPV. But that's not herpes.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That's different. So I have no idea.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Oral herpes. This is this is a ten year old data.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: But they said oral herpes forty seven point eight percent of.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Adults general states.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, genital herpes eleven point nine percent.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: That's a big swing.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Well, if you're any fun, one of those numbers is
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: going to go up a lot higher.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I mean it sounds like New Zealand is, you know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: trying to be the new age version of a leper
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: colony is just a lot more fun because it's just herpes.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Or they're really taking that herd immunity thing to heart.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Just someone popping up out of the bush, like all right,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I got an idea, hear me out.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: And that does raise a question, you know, are the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: sheep okay?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: They did say the human to sheep ratio has dwindled.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: That was the most perfectly untum in.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: The Treehouse visit us online a treehouse on air dot com.

• 15:59
  Speaker 1: not not the Herpes thing. We have our own foundation.

• 16:30
  Speaker 1: June twenty six, two thy twenty five. Trey. Do you
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: remember your graduation presence? Do you remember a really good
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: graduation present for high school? Gosh, it's okay to say no,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: because I can't. Yeah, all I remember was my high
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: school graduation happened in Arlington. It happened at that new
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: museum I guess is what. It was, just north of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the ballpark in Arlington, across that body of water. Not
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: even sure if it's still there after all the development
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that's happened in that area. But the only thing I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: really remember about my graduation was a little bit of
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the graduation details, the location, and I remember my family
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: being split because my mom and dad were not going
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to sit anywhere near each other, so they were at
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: opposite seats in the arena. And that's really about it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: We went to dinner afterwards. That's all I remember. I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: don't really remember a bunch of graduation gifts. We had
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a party. There was a graduation party.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: That was like supervised, like you once you got there,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: it was after the ceremony and everything else. You had
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: to be in there by like ten o'clock and then
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you weren't going to leave until the next day or
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: at least early in the morning. So they knew kids
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: are gonna be drinking and stuff, and so yeah, they
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: made it a safe as possible. But I I don't
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: really even I don't even remember that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I well, you also graduated college, and that's that's a
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: whole other level of graduation honors and maybe parties and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: gifts and such.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: The only gift I got that I truly remember is
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: a very good friend of mine I was older. Forrest
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: got me a some sessions with a financial planner, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I just look back now and go had I just
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: listened to that guy, I would, you know, be in
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: great shape. But because everything he told me not to do,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how we hear some of the best advice,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: especially money advice, when we're young, and I heard I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: heard a lot of great money advice when I was young.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Problem is, I don't have any So even if I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to do all those things, I couldn't do most
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: of them. I couldn't do most any sensible money saving
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: anythings until I was around thirty. Well, not all graduation
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: presents are created equal. Just ask one kid from Taiwan
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: whose parents hired sexy pole dancers for his graduation presence.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wondering how good they were, because apparently they
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: were so good or bad it prompted police action. The
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: boy's mother says her desire for a graduation gift that
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: would be unforgettable and different from typical graduation celebrations drove her. Uh.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: The parents hired not one, but two pole dancers to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: perform outside their son's secondary school as a celebration of
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: his graduation.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Secondary So that's like junior high.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: This is Taiwan. So I'm I'm I don't know for sure,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: but maybe the performance took place outside Taichung Municipal one,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a junior high school in mid June. There you have it,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Junior High. That was right after the graduation ceremony concluded
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and students exited the building. Many shock students and parents
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: gathered to watch their performance of the two female dancers. Okay,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that's a good thing to point out. I just assumed
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: they were female dancers, and they were. It would have
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: been interesting if if it had been one and one.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Well it's Thailand, so uh Taiwan, Oh Taiwan. Sorry my bad.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you get pole dancers from for a Thailand junior
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: high graduation? You know it's you know what that's gonna be.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be a box of chocolates.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: That's with nuts.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Oh man. Many shock students and parents gathered to watch it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: This created a buzz of disbelief in the crowd. A
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: young boy who was invited to stand between their performers
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: appeared visibly embarrassed during the minute long show. The dancers
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: later climbed onto the roofs of two SUVs, where separate
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: polls were installed, and continued their performance from there. One
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: of these poles on one of these vehicles on an SUV.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: They're both jeeps. One of the jeeps is a jeep
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: decorated with Leelo and Stitch Jesus. The boy's mother told
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the media that the pole dance was sponsored by a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: friend and choreographed by herself, aiming to stand out among
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: various graduation activities. Congratulations, Mom, you nailed it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stood out globally.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she said, I hope this will be an unforgettable
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: graduation gift for my son. Well, considering how much he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: was probably standing out, I imagine it was.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: The only thing bigger than his standoutedness at the show
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: of love and appreciation for graduating Junior High. The only
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: thing bigger than that is the amount of my envy,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: because you know what I did after graduating Junior High.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Went to Arby's Good five for five. And that's not
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a euphemism. We just actually walked to Arby's.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: There was no you know that's that is something that
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: that progressed as I don't even think there was a
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: quote unquote graduation ceremony from Junior High, like you graduated
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: high school. There was no like this deal of your
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: elementary school ceremony and everything else. And I think we
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: did have a ceremony at the end of elementary school,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: but that's after, you know, that was also five years,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: you know, five grades and uh, you know, but the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: whole junior high graduation. I don't even think that was
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: a thing.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: No, I think I was just told to get out.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: What I am especially here in Texas. I am shocked, though.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I am shocked that I have never and this guy
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: includes NASCAR races everything else, I have never seen a
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: pickup with a stripper pole in the back. Well, partner,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: you put that in with some truck nuts and you
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: have got a party.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, real quick. If anyone's curious what the boy
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: had to say about his parents' exciting graduation gift of
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: pole dancers outside the junior high graduation, the boys said
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to the media he was stunned and speechless seeing the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: pole dancing that was arranged by his parents. He added, However,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: considering my parents' intentions, I chose not to object.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Ever, since then, he's been taking two hour showers.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: And he has not been seen since.

• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I am Dan. Today is Thursday, June twenty six, twenty five.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Last week inside the Treehouse we debuted a new feature
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: called Trey's Twatts, and originally it was designed as a
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: way for Trey to channel some of his thoughts, opinions,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: strongly held beliefs at certain people's I would like to
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: amend the feature ever so slightly if it pleases you,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: mister Trendholm. Okay, okay, thank you. I have a submission
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: for Trey's twats. It's just an idea. I'm throwing it
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: at you. You are still judge jury and well not executioner,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: but inductor. You have the final say on whether or
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: not any submission by me, Raj, Jerry or a Treehouse
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: listener will be included and or will be enshrined into
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Trey's twats.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, I like it. I've got two in mind, so I'm.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, let's see, let's see where my submission falls. Okay.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: So my first submission up for your approval tray into
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Trey's TWATS is doctor Natasha Fernando from the United Kingdom.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: The reason why I think she should be included and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: inducted into Trey's twats is because doctor Natasha Fernando is
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: telling people the best thing to drink during a heat
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: wave is milk. There's still a disgusting pile in an
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: end zone in a middle school in Plano where a
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: bunch of us thought milk would be a good idea
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: before football practice, and we all heartily disagree with doctor Fernando.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I can't remember before four obviously, no, but after if
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you're really think you're dehydrated, I can can see where
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: they would think milk would be good.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I got a lot of vitamins, nutrients, stuff like that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: The thing is, I still remember that morning workout. I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: think it was it was eighth grade, and it was
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: actually before football practice. It was just we had eighth
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: grade first period football whatever, that was air quotes, and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: it was just conditioning and stuff. So that first day
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: of school of eighth grade, first period involved a bunch
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: of running. And the reason why is because all our
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: coaches knew we ate cereal and they wanted to change that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: And what better way to change dietary habits of you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: thirteen and fourteen year olds than by making them puke
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: their guts out. So that's what we did. We ran
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: until we were all throwing up in the end zone.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: By the way, gen Z, if you're hearing this, this
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: is why we're better than you. It's not just physical trauma.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: It's the mental trauma that goes along with these things.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: And it also makes for a great funny story when
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: you're you know, middle aged.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, running running like that. Bear crawls, I'm sure that
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: is something that isn't.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Oh that was involved. Yep, it was. It was a
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff disguised as just you know, exercises
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to make everybody puke it.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Bear crawls like that was punishment. Uh, you know, if
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: you really screwed up in a game or just were
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: late or whatever, you know, you could end up doing
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: bear crawls around the field. Uh always fun in the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Texas heat.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You know what's bad is uh. I still have the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: occasional nightmare where I show up for football practice in
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: high school and I don't have my pads because I
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: left them at home in the washer. I did that,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I think twice, and I had to like drive home
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: real fast and go get him and come back before
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: practice started. And one time I was late and I
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: had to do bear crawls after practice. That affected me
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: so much as a forty five year old man. I
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: still have dreams about forgetting my pads at home.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: What still amazes me about We're close enough in age
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: you probably had the same thing, but that more of
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: us didn't die because water was not something that you
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: just had access to whenever you wanted. When we were
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: doing especially two a day's or just practice in general,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: you got water when the coach said you could get water,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: and if you were really had a bad practice, they
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: weren't giving you any water.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: It was withheld. Yeah. Yeah, I was part of the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: generation that came just long enough after you Trey to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: where we actually had water delivery systems in place. Like
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: some coach in his off time decided to put together
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: some elaborate PVC thing, so we could all get to
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the water station at the same time and drink water.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: But it was still it was still under lock and
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: key by the coaches. You couldn't just go over there
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and get it whenever you felt like it. It was
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: when they allotted it or you begged.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: If you were on the sideline like it during practice,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: you had to sneak, you know, you were hiding behind
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: somebody if you were like getting hit from the water bottle, and.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: That's what we would do. We would get like some
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: of the biggest guys. So like, I'm not the tallest guy,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: never never was, but back then I was actually a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: little bit taller. That's what happens when you don't have
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: any more discs in your vertebrae. Anyway, what you could
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: do is you could stand behind the really big guys,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: or if you were, you know, well liked enough, you
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: could tell some of the big guys, hey, Jason moved
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: like three feet to your right, and then you could
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: just kind of hide behind him and then just sip
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: some water then put it back. Now, because if you
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: were not given the approval for a water break, there
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: was always one coach that knew. It's like he could
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: hear it flowing. It's like he would look over and
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: be like, hey, no water for you. What have you
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: done to deserve that water? Yeah? Anyway, my submission for
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: trace twats this week is doctor Natasha Fernando from the
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: United Kingdom, because she says milk is the best thing
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: to drink during a heat wave. The reasoning eighty seven
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: percent water and it's loaded with electrolytes, so it keeps
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you hydrated longer than water does, and it has sodium
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to help your body hold on to the water. Well
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that's the electrolytes.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: While while a noble submission, I have to reject.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That one, I'm all for one on my first trade
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: you are.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but uh no, today's you know, trace twats
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: is going to have to be the Texas legislature.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Oh what they do now, I can't keep up.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: It's what they didn't do. So, you know, we were
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: talking about the whole greb Abbot surprised everyone of vedoing
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: the THHC bill and then it turns out, well, it's
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: just because like he didn't like a lot of the language,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: and they're calling us legislative session because there's like five
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: things they didn't get done. All you guys you have
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: time to have a leaping mariachi band at the end
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: of session, celebrating yourselves, but yet you didn't get crap done,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and then you got to come back to a special
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: legislative session costs a taxpayer money just because if all
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: you have, you have two years to prepare or a
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: year and a half for five months of work, how
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: can y'all not get your crap done. It's it's ridiculous.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: It always has been, you know. They And the sad
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: thing now is calling a special session used to be
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: a huge deal, Like governors really were very reluctant to
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: do it because of the cost, because of everything else.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: It had to been. Like school funding back in the
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: day was like the one thing, like they would call
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: a special session, try to work it out. Now, like
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: five things they didn't get done? What are you twats
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: doing down there?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Well, they're they're too busy making sure that the Ten
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Commandments are going to be displayed in schools. Irony there
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is maybe they should have started. If you're going to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: display rules places for people to follow, maybe you should
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: have started with the Constitution in the capital. You know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: that's and the other thing is this if and this
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: is my thing. I'm all for freedom of religion. I'm
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: also for freedom from religion. But allow me to say
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: this about the state of Texas passing legislation mandating the
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Ten Commandments be displayed in schools. You first display them
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: in the capital and follow them. If you can do that,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: then you can sit in a position of superiority and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: dictate to the rest of the state on how you
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: think they should behave. That's how I feel about it.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I think it's just it's it's pandering to an absurd
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: base at times that uh, it is ridiculous. Of all
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the things we have going on and the things we
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: have to worry about, real significant issues, the Ten Commandments, uh,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: you know, especially for a state that loves the death
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: penalty is a bit much. And you know, just the
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: general rules, love my neighbor, respect.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could just put the Golden rule up, just
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: one right there across the top. That pretty much settles
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: all the rest.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when when you have everything else figured out, then
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: let's let's let's let's worry then about the Ten Commandments.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: But until then, shut them up.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: That's what's on the Treehouse Wall.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Ye, you're in the Treehouse.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Visit us online on Treehouse on Air dot com.
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: You're listening to the tree House. Visit us online at
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: Treehouseonair dot com.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: All right, right, this is the Treehouse Show. I'm Dan, O'Malley.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: He's Trey Trenholm. Today is Thursday, June twenty sixth, twenty
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays before we
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: jump into today's birthdays. I somehow missed one yesterday that
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I wanted to celebrate and comment on, turning twenty three yesterday.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Actually today's Thursday yesterday. Yeah, okay, Benson Boone yesterday turned
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: twenty three. That little bastard. I say little because don't
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: think he's actually that little. He's just young. But that
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: is one talented twenty three year old. I am not
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: typically envious of many people. I might be a tad
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: jealous of some. When someone's got just outstanding, remarkable talent,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I'll be a little jealous of that, and Benson Boone
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: is one of them. He's one of my new favorite
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: musical artists of this year because that kid can sing.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: I believe he's already done a set with Queen and
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: they don't invite just anybody up on stage to sing
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: with them because you're living in a serious shadow there.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean even Adam Lambert was proven himself
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: quite adapted. I mean there's no Freddie Mercury, but uh yeah, Benson.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: But the amazing the thing that just amazes me with
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: him because when I first heard that song with oh,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I can't even think of the name of the song whatever.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: His big hit was Beautiful Things, Beautiful Things, I thought
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: it was Stephen Tyler, And when when you have that
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: kind of range and voice, people don't realize what an
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: amazing vocalist Stephen Tyler was. And so yeah, that man,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: it's good to be that kid.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: God, it's so happy birthday yesterday to him. Benson boone
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: twenty three, little bastard.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Today's birthdays for June twenty six, twenty twenty five include
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Ariana Grande. Speaking of young people with kick ass voices,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Ariana Grande is thirty two today. It's amazing what a huge,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: powerful voice can come out of such a tiny package.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. She and Christina Aguilera that like they're so tiny
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: and yet can belt it.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: And you look at them and go like how is
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: that coming out of that very impressive Aubrey Plaza turns
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: forty one today. She's probably best known as April on
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Parks and Wreck. She's also in the WandaVision spinoff Agatha
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: All Along. Jason Schwarzman is forty five today. Is Max
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Fisher and Russian Or. He's also Talia Shier's son, Francis
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Ford Coppola's nephew, and Nicholas Cage's cousin. The Coppola family
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: is really really entrenched in Hollywood and turning forty five today.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Michael Vick. Michael Vick is forty five today, and that
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: is in case you're curious, three hundred and eight in
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Tortured Dog Gears, someone did the math. I remember being
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: on one oh five three the Fan when Michael Vick
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: got out of prison and the inevitable conversation came up
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: about whether or not the Cowboys should sign Michael Vick,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: and I remember saying at the time like, no, absolutely not,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I've not forgiven him, and phone lines lit up. Ah, yeah, yeah,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: pay this price, society blah blah bah bah blahs it.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I don't give a damn. I don't care about what
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you pay your price to society. You do what he
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: did to that many animals. I will never forget, and
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I will never forgive. It's that simple. And that is
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: absolutely the reason why I do not watch Fox's pre
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: pregame because he's on it. I will not support, in
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: any form or fashion anything his fed up fingers touch.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I don't care if he truly has, you know, turned
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: over a leaf. I just I can't do it. If
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: you had it in you to do it in the
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: first place, I can't see how you can turn that
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: around and understand the wrongs that you committed.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I'd love to throw a counterpoint at you, but I
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: get I know you can't. I ain't got one.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: No, I know you're right here with me. You know
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: what the least safe space in the world is for
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Michael Vick, it's right here inside this treehouse. Yeah, that's
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, Oh, come knocking on our door, because we'll
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: drag you in.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I I understood the argument that, you know, there was
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: a cultural aspect to it. People don't look at all
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: dogs the same and everything else, and and and it's
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: all until you hear a dog and per cry from
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the pain. Then when you can hear that
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: and continue to do it. There is something fundamentally wrong
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: with you. And you know I I don't think the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: world would would be worse off if you took people
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: that abused animals and kids and just put them down.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I'm good with that.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And on that note, I feel good. How about you?
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Vick. You want to come in here and celebrate.

• 41:14
  Speaker 1: and head into well. We hope will be a wonderful
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: into the week Friday tomorrow, and that is this. Tesla's
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: robot taxis have been rolled out. Tesla's robot taxis have
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: been rolled out in Austin and they've been using quote
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: unquote select guests getting some introductory rides, and in one
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: of those rides, it went so well that it let
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: its special guests off in the middle of an intersection
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: at Austin. You surprised, I'm not surprised.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised. I actually they had I don't think
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: they're Tesla, but they had the robotaxes in Vegas.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: And they're.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Kind of creepy. Uh they're kind of creepy looking, and uh,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: I can't they just and evidently they said they haven't
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: had many. Biggest problem is like one of them like
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: stalled out right in the middle of an intersection. But yeah,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: they look like they look like a capsule.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Really, yeah, like a capsule.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Kind of you know, they're they're they're more oval shaped
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: than uh, I mean, they're there, they're they're round, like
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: they have rounded edges, not like a car where you know,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: it's kind of more rectangular, and uh yeah, it's just
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: it's kind of creepy to look over and there's just
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: something driving down the road with no one driving. Weird.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the ones in Austin, the Tesla rope bug taxis
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: are actually Tesla's. They look like text Tesla's they have
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: that round ship but they just you know, they look
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: like they look like a Tesla and it says Robotaxi
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: and some graffiti style riding on the side. But in
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: some of these introductory rides. Tesla's robo taxi services been
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: introduced in Austin, and they had one test ride ended
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: up dropping off its guests in the middle of an intersection,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: blocking traffic in all directions for about forty five seconds.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: They're lucky that happened in Austin because that wouldn't have
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: blocked traffic in Houston, and it wouldn't have blocked traffic
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: in Dallas or Grapevine or Katie or Conroe. You just
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: would have had a bunch of flat people stepping out
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: of a Tesla. In Austin, they actually kind of pay
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: attention to the pedestrians.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's but well that or someone would have just
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: come behind it and just pushed it out of the
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: way with their vehicle and just.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: The cattle guard.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, it's I hate the thought of
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: automated driving. But then at the same time, every time
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I am in traffic and it's because people can't merge,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, fine, just let it. Let it happen.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned that, because as soon as autonomous
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: driving perfects itself, I'm going to be all for it.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: That is one area where I feel like, as humans
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: we have not mastered it. We have not done well
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: with it overall, at least not well enough to where
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I feel that humans should be able to be driving
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: more so than the robots. I kind of have a
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: feeling robots will end up doing it better. It may
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: not be perfect in the early stages, but eventually I
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: think they'll get a better handle on it than we
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: do as people driving. And You're right. Once once the
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: robots figure out merging, it's game over for human driving,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm okay with that because we assume and suck
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: at it.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: That or.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: If they just went back to manual transmissions, cause you
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: can't text and drive. You can't, you have to You
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: cannot do that.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: No, No, you cannot. And I want nothing to do
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: with manual transmission ever, again.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Why it sucks.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: I knew I didn't want to have anything to do
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: with manual transmission when my mom's eighty six Honda, when
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: we were driving from Plano to Fort Worth in an
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: eighty six Honda as she's shifting the entire hour and
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: a half drive.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would take gen Z off the road.
• 45:46
