  Speaker 2: It is time to leave your worries outside. And laugh
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley, along with
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Trey Trenholm and Jerry Caldwell. Coming up on the show today,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we have got for you Crooked Jess. Really, dude? You're
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: playing to the livestream crowd already? Trey, for those that
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: are listening on the quote-unquote regular audio version of the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Treehouse Show podcast at the end of the week, Trey
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: has resorted to Pulling up his puppy. Lily, his new
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Chihuahua puppy, is now at the microphone in front of Trey.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Osama bin Lily.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Osama bin Lily. Little terrorist puppy. I don't think a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: face like that could be a terrorist. That's what she
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: wants you to think.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Don't sell her shorts, sir.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: She's capable of many great things.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So what she is is a honeypot. She uses her
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: looks to get in and get everything that she needs.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So in addition to puppy cuteness here inside the treehouse today,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: we've got Crooked Jess. Trey is ugly. And the Dallas
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Cowboys criminal empire rolls on all today.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Trey's not ugly. Trey's old.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: For a lot of people, Trey, those two are interchangeable.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: We can discuss. Yeah, so that's all coming up today
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: inside the treehouse. But first, we are going to start
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: out with one of the most ridiculous internet arguments that
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I've seen in a long time. OreoGate. Are you guys
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: familiar with OreoGate? I first saw this like a week ago,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and it just keeps coming back around. OreoGate is the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Internet's newest parenting war. Can one mom ban Oreos from
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: every kid's lunch, or does her daughter just need to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: learn the brutal lesson of adulthood? A school mom group
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: chat showed a parent asking everyone to stop packing Oreos
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: because her daughter feels excluded. Another mom answered, essentially, that's life.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Because she's, that mom doesn't allow her daughter to have Oreos.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: There's no, this is a really important, there's no food allergy.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: There's no risk of harm to this girl. It's just
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that mom.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Right. It is, Oreos are banned in this house. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: when my daughter goes to school, she's surrounded by Oreos,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and now she feels excluded. So because of this, the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Oreo Nazi mom is now spreading her beliefs into the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: mom group chat saying, you guys need to stop having
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Oreos in your kids' lunches because they're tempting my child.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: The other moms basically said, tough.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They started their own group chat.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah. The 17-post Instagram saga has millions of views,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: but the conversations are unverified. And, you know, you never know.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It may not be 100% real, but that's true of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: anything on the Internet. But for our purposes in here today,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: we're going to assume it's real. Because, honestly, whether or
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: not the source material is real, people's reactions to it are.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So there are people out there that actually do believe
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that other parents should fall in line with the parenting
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of one, saying everyone should comply, no one should have Oreos.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: If one kid can't have Oreos, then none should have Oreos.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Where are they from? Nazi Stan?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Karenville.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Karenville, yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Now, look.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: This is something I find fascinating on a couple of levels.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: One is as a fat kid growing up, I wish
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: my parents would have implemented a little more stringent dietary guidelines,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: not just for me, but for our household that didn't happen.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: So a little Danny run amok.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I never, so that's, I never, we, we never had
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of junk food around my house. Like I,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I never liked peanut butter as a kid. Um, I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: didn't really like sweets until I quit drinking. Never had Oreos,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: never had cookies, nothing like that. I mean, it was
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: always a treat to go over to friends' houses because
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: they had that stuff.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: It's interesting you bring that up because I don't remember
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: necessarily my household being filled with Oreo-type things, but I
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: would just overeat as a kid. I do remember very
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: much because we're talking about the 80s. The house was
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: full of good old sugary cereals, which that might as
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: well be a box of Oreos, honestly. And I ate
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: cereal like I would never eat it again. Every single
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: morning I ate a bowl of cereal big enough that
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you would probably think I would think that I was
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: never going to have cereal again.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: If I needed to put on if all of a sudden,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for some reason, I needed to put on weight. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: would just go buy a big box of cinnamon toast
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: crunch and a gallon of milk.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Talk slower. Talk slower, baby.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And just bowl after bowl. All the bowls.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Just right.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But this is also, Dan, I don't remember if we
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: had this discussion on or off the air about us
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: not having kids anymore.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I think it was off the air, but yeah. So yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: But this is a reason why it's probably good. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: had never had kids because if I was a parent
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in this group, I would stuff my kids bag with a,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: with a thing of double stuff Oreos every effing day.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I would take it a step further.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I would give them a couple extra and be like,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: give this one to the kid that's missing out.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Just to have everybody get together, send all of their
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: kids with one extra Oreo and.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I would go along the premise of, you know, they say, well,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: do you have enough to share with the class? Yes,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I do. Here you go.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: You two are adorable in your pettiness.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, you would take the high road?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: No, I'd take the much, much worse road. I would
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: go so low. You'd be like, dude, that seems a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: little much. So in this scenario, because I don't like
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: being told what to do, and if I don't like
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: being told what to do, I really am not going
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to like you telling me, like a lot of parents,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: how to parent my child and what I should do
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: because you're doing something that I think is absolutely freaking crazy.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So what I would do is I would have an
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: outright Oreo cookie party. I would have Tiff's Treats lined up,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: stacked deep in the parent drop-off line, ready to come
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in with trays of cookies and treats and not just
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Oreo cookies but Oreo cookie cookies and cookies and cream
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: ice cream all delivered right there for everyone at lunch
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: everyone these kids are going to be surrounded by Oreos
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I might even hire a dancing Oreo to come in
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: okay So I think I might be going too far
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: with it. While at the same time, I would not
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: want my.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I could see myself being the parent that is not
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: allowing my kid to have Oreos. I would treat them
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: very much like a treat and be like, you don't
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: get these whenever you want them. This is a special thing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Because I was a fat kid and I want to
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: instill proper food relationships with kids. but I'm not going
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: to take that militant attitude and make everyone else subscribe
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Well, it also gets to the forbidden fruit theory of,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you know, if you make something, you tell your kid.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Clear your throat. I guess you had too many Oreos
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: for breakfast. Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: If you tell your kid that they can't have something, well,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that's just going to make them want it more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That's right. And I'm not saying they can't have it
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: at all, but just.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you know, but much like reason moderation, like with, with
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you and what you're talking about, it's not Oreos that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: are the issue. It's the moderation. That's an issue.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Moderation is, is a, been a problem with me in
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: my entire life. It's like if I like something, I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: want all of it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Please, tell the recovering alcoholic about problems with moderation.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. I know who I'm talking to. Trust me.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I read the room. I know there is a level
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of relatability between you and me on a whole other level.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: But that's also... That's also the same reason why I
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: never got into drugs is because it's like, look, I
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: like all the things. Right. So I know it's best
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: for me to just stay away from that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Listen, I've never done coke for a reason is because
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I always knew I had an addictive personality. Just booze
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: snuck up on me. But I mean, there's a reason
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: if I bake cookies, I give 90 percent of them
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: away because I know I will eat all of them.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: That's right. You know what the best thing is? Like
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: there's a reason why. stereotypically chefs are fat, right? It's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: because they have to taste everything as they go. That's
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite things about cooking, especially holiday cooking.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: If I'm smoking a turkey or deep frying the turkey
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: or steaks on the grill or something, and you're carving
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: it up afterwards, you get the nibbles before everybody else
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: gets it. And then when someone says, hey, stop eating that,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I say, oh, whoa, whoa, I cooked it. This is
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: quality control. And in order to quality control, I need
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: to eat an entire deep fried turkey thigh. Basically, this
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: all comes down to, is it okay for you as
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: a parent to tell all the other parents what to
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: do with their kids so your kid and you ultimately
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: feel better about your decisions? Absolutely not. It's asinine to
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: me to think that other people would be like, you
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: know what, if Karen doesn't want her kid to have
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Oreos and therefore doesn't want me to put Oreos in
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: my kid's lunch, then I'm going to respect that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, again, and I would at least understand the request
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: if we were talking about a food allergy that was
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: potentially harmful to the kid. But otherwise, F all the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: way off.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Look, I mean, I get it. I've been on a
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: plane before where a child was on the plane and
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the flight crew announced, because of this severe peanut allergy,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: we don't have certain snack options available to you.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: In the golden age of Southwest Airlines, they just handed
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: out peanuts. And then the food allergy people put a
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: stop to that. Yeah.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I know, and this is a weird place to be
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: in because on one hand, I don't want that kid
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to die, but I really wanted some goddamn peanuts.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Especially when they were honey roasted.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I know, it's the good ones. Oh, God, so good.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: It'd be like, what is it, American or Delta, they
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: hand out the little Biscoff cookies or something. If they
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: were to say, sorry, no Biscoffs because they got peanuts
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: in it and we can't have it, I'd be like,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: You show me where they are. I'll come to them.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: That's half the reason I booked this airline.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: When you're sitting in the big seat on Spirit Airlines,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you could get your pick of their little snack tray,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: which wasn't bad.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It really wasn't bad. And I'll tell you right now,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the peanut allergy airline was not Spirit. Spirit did not
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: give a, pardon the pun, a flying fuck about your
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: kid's peanut allergy.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: They would charge you extra.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: That's right. And they would charge you more for the
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: epinephrine shot.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: You can't break glass in case of an emergency if
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you need an epinephrine shot. Instead, it was swipe, then
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: you could open the door and take it. You have
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: to pay for it. Everyone in the chat is saying, yeah, absolutely.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I would send more cookies to school.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Linda's just showing off that she's eating a giant cupcake.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: How dare you, Linda? You know what? Real quick, though,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: that's the beauty of adulthood, is if one morning you
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: wake up and you want a cupcake for breakfast, then
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: By God, you eat it. That's right. There's also kind
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: of the conundrum, though, for me. It's like.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: The age when you're a kid and into your 20s,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: that's when you really should be enjoying those things like
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Oreo cookies and the fast food and the gym because
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: that's when your body can handle it the most. Not enough, obviously,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: to be detrimental to your health down the road, but
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: that's when you can handle that the best.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: And so, you know, telling the.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Kid, I want you to have Oreo cookies because I'm
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: trying to instill in you healthy eating.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: You've got to make up for that sometime.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing. In reality, an Oreo cookie has
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: so little to do with healthy eating. That's such a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: much broader subject. We just now changed the food pyramid
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: from what was completely just stupid. I'm not trying to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: get political one way or the other, but the old
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: food pyramid was absolutely ridiculous.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Ketchup counts as a serving of vegetables.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Well, and not only that, and to me, the food
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: pyramid was political in nature, but not in a, you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: right and left type of way. Everyone got to share
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the blame on that one because it was straight up
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the food industry. Yeah. Lobbying and saying, here's your new
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: food guide. And all the politicians, all of them, R's
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: and D's and I's and F up's. All of them
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: are like, okay. And the next thing you know, we
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: have this upside down food pyramid.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: You looked at what the majority of crops were and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: then what was the base of the food pyramid? You know, wheat, corn, bread,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: all the, all the stuff, which I love, but that's not,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that's not the foundation for a healthy diet. And seriously,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you look, go look. I mean, I was at Kroger
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: yesterday and And I hate to see it, but you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: go follow a fat person around the grocery store and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you'll understand why they're overweight.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I've heard somebody say it, that one of the best
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: ways to shop healthily at the grocery store is to
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: stay out of the.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Middle of it. Yeah, you stay on the perimeter. On
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: the outside perimeter, yeah. Also, the best tip I can
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: give you is don't go hungry. And look, I know
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: we all should know this at a certain age. And
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: we've all made the mistake, even as an adult. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: occasionally still make the mistake, and I leave the store
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: regretting it. I'm like, God damn it. Don't ever go
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: to the store hungry. And if you haven't eaten something,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: here's another additional little trick. When you go to the store,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: if it just wasn't possible, the first thing you do,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: go in there and buy like a liter of water
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: and chug that. Chug the water so your belly will
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: feel a little full, and you won't be as tempted
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: to get the stuff you don't actually need. At least
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: it not only hydrates you, but it also fills your
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: willpower bank just a little bit. It's one of the
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: great things about Costco.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: You can pop in there and eat a couple of
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: slices of pizza or have a dog, and then you
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: can shop. And that way you're not hungry because you
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: go to Costco hungry, you're in trouble. On the other hand,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I've gone to Costco hungry on purpose because I'm going
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: to eat today.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, the sandwich. Yeah, exactly. Going on Sunday at
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: about 11 a.m. I also noticed this the other day.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: So you know the show My 600-lb Life?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Now there's a new one I just saw on my
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: guide on my TV, My 1,000-lb Sister. It's like, Jesus Christ,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: did no one talk to them yet about healthy eating?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: These shows are getting more extreme. It's like it started
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: with 600-lb Life. Now we're going to 1,000-lb Sister. There's 1,000-lb Sisters.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: There's 1,000-lb Roommates. Like I it's we glamorize. I mean, there,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: there is a guy, uh, on Tik TOK. His name
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is like James Bola, I think. And anyone familiar with
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: big pun, the rapper that died.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Did you ever see what he looked like before he
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: got fat?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: You should Google it. He, he actually played linebacker. I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: think he played linebacker at Miami. Or he was drafted. Like,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: he was built. Damn. This guy's the same way. This
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: guy used to be, you know, in shape, everything else.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And then, and this is where, and it speaks to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: so many other social issues. People don't give enough credence
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to the fact that people will do anything to be
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: popular on social media. Because this guy has a ton
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: of followers now. He eats butter straight. His breakfast, he
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: will eat two packages of Oreos in a bowl with
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: whole milk. Like it's cereal.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: All right. That sounds good.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Like they they've, they've counted in one meal. This guy
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: will consume like 7,000 calories.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Except he's not jumping in the pool like Michael Phelps.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Um, Yeah. And look, you're 100% right, Trey. Now, I
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: will say this, that goes back to some type of
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: a mental health thing. And it's almost like you were saying,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: like with alcohol, alcoholism kind of snuck up on you, right?
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: And I think the food thing and the social media
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: thing is similar to alcoholism. The door opens a little
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: bit and you go through and then you get the
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: feel good dopamine stuff. And then it grows over time.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: And then you end up basically addicted to it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's, I think it's, I think a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: lot of, for a lot of people, it's a decision.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think it sneaks up on them. Like this guy,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: he started doing food videos, like, the hashtag mukbang, I
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: think is what it was. And, uh, and then he
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: got more and more popular for basically overeating and obviously
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: he monetized it. So instead of doing it responsibly or
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: anything else, I mean, hell there's, there's a chick on
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Tik TOK that does eating competitions where she goes to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: these places that, you know, like the 72 ounce steak
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and Amarillo and, uh, She just travels the country doing that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's got a ton of followers, but she's skinny.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I've seen her.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. This guy, I mean, it's just, it's disgusting to
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: watch him eat.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: So let's go from Mama Karen in the Oreo, you know,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: group chat. And now let's shift over to another discussion
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: of food. And that is, how to deal with people
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: stealing your food at work. Now, this is something that
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: we've all dealt with numerous times in our professional lives,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: especially because a radio station break room is a cesspool
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: for free food and food lurkers, food murchers. Sorry, food moochers.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: That being said, we're talking 20 years ago. When I'm
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: starting out in radio, 20, 25 years ago, almost 30
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: years ago now, a good portion of my diet where
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I got food was in the radio station break room
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: because back in the day, food places were dropping food
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: off in the radio station all the time. That's how
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Chipotle got big, by the way. They kept dropping off
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: those mega-sized burritos at the radio stations, and we all
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: got on the air and talked about how big these
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: burritos were. And that was how I had food in
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: my belly some days.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I remember that. The good old days. But yeah, yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Now it's a little more sparse. Anyway, so let's get
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration into the treehouse.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: 833-COOK-DFW is the phone number to get your free roof
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: inspection and property review scheduled. The website, cookdfw.com. I'm going
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: to say some scary words, Daniel. Super L- And the
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: effect that is going to have on weather, especially in
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the North Texas area. You know, you're right.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: We just are officially in going into the Super El Nino.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: The reason why is because it's warmer than a regular
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: El Nino. And it does prelude that we will have
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: a wetter, higher rain percentage than than a normal year.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Or should we say on El Nino? So there are
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: some differences, speculations. Nothing is set in stone. This is
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: not a guarantee that we're going to have a deluge
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: of water for the next year. I mean, that's just
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: not what it means. Scientific data says, hey, we might
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: have a wetter than normal.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: We could have more storms. It could be just a
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: lot of rain. We all need to go out and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: build arcs. I don't know.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: But, I mean.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Be prepared. The moral of the story is every day
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: you live in North Texas, especially in North Texas, be prepared.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Know how your home is sitting. Know how your roof looks.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Know how your windows are working. Know if your doors
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: have holes in them. I mean, just know your home.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Know your home.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Call us out.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: We want to educate you.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: We will come around, walk you around, show you things
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: that you should know, and then we can help you
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: with getting them taken care of.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: And no pressure, all education. And Daniel and his fine
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: team at Cook DFW will take care of you, the homeowner.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: With very, very gentle hands. I know because I've been
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: in them. 833-COOK-DFW. That sound bad? Sounded bad. 833-COOK-DFW. Get
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: that scheduled today. The website, cookdfw.com. In those break rooms,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: if you had something good coming in, the mass email
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: would go out. and everyone showed up in the blink
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: of an eye. It was like Doctor Strange with the
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: sparkle circles in Endgame. Everyone just showed up at the
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: same frickin' time. It was like Food Avengers assemble in
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the break room.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: People you couldn't find with a scout team any other
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: time of the day, but when food got to the
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: break room, appeared, like you said, yeah.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: The end scene in Endgame where all the portals open
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: up and they all rush in.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: And it really was like you're looking around at these
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: people you haven't seen in months and you're saying, Hargett,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I thought you died. Uh-huh. And he's just back. It's like, oh,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: it's a bluebell ice cream party. Everybody shows up.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: But.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: And then just regular break room stuff, though. It's like
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: you've got, like, if you're trying to eat healthy or whatever,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: you've got your food, you're bringing your lunch because you're
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: working in radio or you work in a corporate job,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: you haven't had a raise in years, so maybe you're
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: bringing your lunch. You're trying to eat healthy or save money.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: You bring your food to work and then some a-hole
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: eats it. Which is exactly the story that Trey has
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: for us today.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, this woman, she posted on Reddit. Evidently, it's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: since been taken down, but She said, you know, am I...
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: This was an am I the asshole section. Said she
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: works at a fairly large company, but they have their
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: own little, you know, refrigerator. And said never had a
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: problem with people taking my stuff until there was like
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a merger and like these 10 people came in to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: their group. And all of a sudden, things started disappearing.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And so one day... one lady told her, oh, hey,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I saw so-and-so eating your strawberry jam. And she goes, oh.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: She goes, oh, that's a shame. And the woman goes, well,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: just because you're stealing your food?
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: She goes, no.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: She goes, well, I double dip and I have herpes.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I think she's sorry. She goes, I get cold sores
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got herpes.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: And She basically was asking, and obviously that got around,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and she was like, what am I to ask? She goes,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I really don't have cold sores, but I wanted it
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to stop. And I'm like, hey, bravo to you. How
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: did we never think of that?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: That is awesome. I love that. Good on her.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: How did we never think of that?
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I did it with office supplies. I don't know why
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I never thought about that. I mean, obviously not the
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: herpes thing. You just write this as a left-handed thing
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: on something and nobody will ever touch it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: That is absolutely true. I labeled all my stuff left-handed.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Left-handed scissors, left-handed pens, left-handed stapler. I'd leave it out
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: on my desk. Nobody would ever touch it. I don't
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: typically do this, but I can't resist. Is that how
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Ben and Skin stay employed? They just put left-handed on
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: their show?
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Left-handed microphone.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Left-handed microphone. We can't. No, that's just too much. That's
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: too much trouble.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Left-handed content.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I do love this, though, in the chat. People stealing
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: your food out of the break room, right? Double AJ
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: in the chat says, I never had this problem. It
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: sounds like something that would be easily resolved with a claymore.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Is that pie? Oh, good lord. I take no issue
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: with how she handled that. I think you absolutely, you know,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: if someone takes something that is not theirs, stealing, They
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: need to be taught a lesson. That simple. I remember
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: one time in the radio station break room, I had these,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast sandwiches, right? Because I'm trying
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: to eat well. It's not the normal Jimmy Dean breakfast
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: sandwiches in the freezer. It's the light ones. And I
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: have my name on them and everything. So everyone knows
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: they're mine. I go in one morning to get my
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: breakfast sandwich for breakfast. And the box is empty. The
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: box is left in the freezer. Empty. Just to add
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: insult to injury. Except for the note. On the inside
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: of the box. Hey, Dan, I'm sorry. I was starving
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: last night. And this was the only thing in here. Torres.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: And I was immediately... I was immediately okay with it
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: because I knew he got paid dirt and he was
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: desperate and he left a note. So on one hand,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I was pissed because now I had to figure out
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: my breakfast, but I gave him credit for leaving. a
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: note and I knew that he did it out of
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: desperation and I totally understood it. I was like, you
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: know what? That's the only choice he had. That's fine.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Good for him leaving the note. So I was, I
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: was mostly fine with it. And I thought it was
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: hysterical because he left such a sad note and he
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: signed his name to it, but he left it in
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the box. It's like I told him, it's like, dude,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: you could have just sent a text message giving me
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: the heads up. He's like, well, I didn't think about
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: that because it was late. He was doing like a
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: late night shift. I think that was when we were
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: doing mornings.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that had been Ted McKay. You probably would
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: have popped a cap in his ass.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: No, Ted McKay could do whatever he wanted. Oh, had
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Torres taken the food from Ted McKay? No.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I had Ted McKay taking it from you. What about Domino?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'd have chucked him off the roof. Along with
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: his leather vest. Yeah, no, there are some people that
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: would have done it. Note or not, you're going off
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the roof.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: The random burrito eater.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: There was one day, I'm not sure if you were
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: still there when this happened, but God, what's his name?
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: He did He was sort of a side character. He
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: did traffic on the ticket for a while. His name
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: started with a D. He worked for TTN. Doyle. Doyle King.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I had an issue with Doyle King. I'm trying to
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: remember the specifics of it, but one day in the
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: break room, he had come in and he had thrown
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: all the food in the break room away. He took
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: it upon himself to clean the break room. Which would
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: have been nice had that stuff been there for a
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: really long time. But see, what had happened was Bluebell
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: had come in with their new flavor for us to try.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: And for us, I mean those of us on the show.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: We did it separately so Dr. Strange's sparkle circles wouldn't
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: show up and everyone rushes it and then we can't
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: taste what we're supposed to taste, right? So we did
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: it in phases. Phase one, Those of us on the
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: show tried the ice cream. Phase two, Golden Perry, the
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: executive assistant for iHeartDFW, would send out the mass email
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: inviting everyone to the break room to enjoy the ice
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: cream party from Blue Bell. In that time, Doyle had
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: gone to the break room and thrown all of it
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: in the trash. So then all these people show up
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: and there's no ice cream. And I went on a
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: war path. Like, who did this? And then they said
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: it was Doyle King. And I went into TTWN's offices
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: like I was on SWAT. Like, I'm kicking in their
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: dorm like, where's Doyle? Where is this Jack? And I
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: don't think he was there or something like that. So
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I don't even think I ever got a chance to
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: actually visually confront him. And because of that, I took
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: his photo from his ID badge and I printed it off.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: And I posted it around the break room. And then
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I posted it around the entire radio station offices saying,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: do not feed this man. This man gets nothing. It
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: may have been something else on there, but that's the
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: general gist of it. He was persona non grata in
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: the tree house.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Wasn't there also an ice cream party where he was
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: specifically not invited?
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you for that reminder, Jerry.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: And in honor of Mr. Doyle King, we threw a
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: second ice cream party for everybody except for Doyle King.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: And that was a mass email I sent out. That
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: was how petty I went on that MF. Man, it
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: felt good. How dare you throw away God's greatest ice
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: cream gift to this planet. and the thing is he
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: did it out of spite because he was so mad
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: at people not cleaning up in the break room he
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: just thought we all left it and just threw it
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: away just made a huge assumption despite the fact that
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: my office is right next to the break room he
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: could have just come and said hey what are you
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: doing and that I could have told him people are
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: coming don't touch it but instead he was spiteful about
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: it and then I double spited him back.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: So you were the Kendrick Lamar at Bluebell he was No,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: you were.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: I don't get it.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Never mind.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Yes. Now I get it. Yes, I was.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Yes. Mm-hmm.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. They ain't like us. I had a different person
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: in my head for some reason.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: So that's the level of my pettiness. That was probably
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the biggest one in radio. So still to this day,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: F you, Doyle King, and you're throwing away of stuff.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: He never came and talked to me about it either.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Let's move on. Today is, for those that are hearing
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: this on the regular audio version of the Treehouse Show,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: today is Thursday, September 3rd, 2026. Let's celebrate today with
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: some birthdays.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: One second.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Hang on, I got to scroll down to my birthdays.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Still scrolling, still scrolling. Jesus, the prep service is hot today. Oh, wait,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: that's today's birthdays. Hang on. Stall for a second. We're
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: doing the live stream and I need to do tomorrow's birthdays.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: You know, typically when one segues to another segment, they
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: have said segment ready.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Well, see, I thought I did, but then I didn't.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: So that's what happened.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, we have people watching the show that expect
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: us to be slick.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, they haven't been around very long. That right there
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: is up there with Jerry saying, have fun in Mordor.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: All right, hang on.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Now it's time for birthdays here inside the treehouse. Thursday.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Thursday.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: September 3rd 2026 despite his best efforts charlie sheen is
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: 61 today that's impressive at a certain point you just
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: kind of got to tip your hat and be like
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: i'm good on you.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Did anyone anyone watch the documentary he came out with
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a year or two ago.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: I did not i just i i didn't care I
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: got sucked into the whole tiger blood nonsense when he
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: was going through that drug fuel phase. We all went
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: to American Airlines Center to see the traveling circus that
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: was that show. And I don't even think we stayed, what, 30,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: 45 minutes? We were like, this is dumb. We're leaving.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, it's such a weird thing because
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: you're talking about someone who is extremely talented. from an
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: amazing Hollywood family, his dad, Martin Sheen. He's done some
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: of my favorite projects in Hollywood history. Garbage Man. Minute Work, Trey.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Minute Work, sorry.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Minute Work is a phenomenal movie.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you there.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: And that is a trash heap I will die on.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: He also was in one of the greatest baseball movies
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: of all time, Major League.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Young Guns.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Young Guns.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: And, I mean, I never really watched it, but his sitcom,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Two and a Half Men, obviously incredibly popular. I mean,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: he pissed, talking about pissing away, you know, a run.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: And a fortune. The, I'm actually surprised because I would
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: have figured Two and a Half Men would have been
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: like right up your alley, Trey. You might, you should
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: watch it. It's very good. It's crass in a lot
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: of areas, which, which we like a lot. I.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: It's not a, Not like a decision I made to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: not watch it. I just have never really taken the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: time to watch it. Yeah, I might give it a whirl.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: So I'll give you the quick premise of the show.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen's character lives in L.A. He's a womanizing jingle writer.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: And his desperate chiropractor brother and kid come to live
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: with him. It's pretty good. Then he ruined it. and then, uh,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: and then he was able to have a semi successful
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: followup with anger management. Uh, I think that was on FX. Uh,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: but yeah, this is, it's interesting. You see a different
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: careers are up, down, up, down, up, down. And Charlie
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Sheens is obviously one of those. And then earlier in
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: his career, also one of the greatest war movies of
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: all time, platoon, and then opposite Michael Douglas and wall street.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: That to me, by the way, is I think probably
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: the greatest example of what the eighties were like.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, Well, what are the other great 80s movies? Navy Seals.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, amen, brother. Oh, I love that movie. That is
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: so good.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Trust me with your money and your life, not your wife.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that the actual Navy SEALs probably have
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: that stapled to a wall somewhere. Garrett Hedlund is 42 today.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: He was one of the running backs in Friday Night Lights.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: He was in Tron Legacy, Four Brothers, and he was
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: in Country Song. This is one of those guys, if
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you don't recognize his name and his face immediately, when
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: you see his face, you'll be like, oh, okay. If
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: you saw the Friday Night Lights movie, he was the
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: kid that played Tim McGraw's son.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Costas Mandalore is 61. He's best known as Mark Hoffman
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: in the Saw franchise, but some of us know him
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: also as the guy who was almost Joey in Friends.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: If you remember in one of the episodes of Friends
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: where Joey decides to go in for an experiment with
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: a twin, he grabs one of these other actors at
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: one of his auditions that looks like him, and it
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: was Costas Mandalore. The reason why they had him on
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: their radar for Friends is because this was a guy
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: that I think had the role or was up for
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: it alongside Matt LeBlanc. Matt LeBlanc got the role. His
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: career and life took off. Costas Mandalore, eh, not as much.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: But then he ended up in the Saw franchise, so
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: it wasn't totally terrible. Kaia Gerber is 25. She, in
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: her own right, is a model and actress, partly because
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: she is the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Hollywood looks so much like her mom.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I think I saw a video of her getting out
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: of a car on social media last night. And I
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: genuinely thought it was Cindy Crawford. I was like, Oh
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: my God, Cindy Crawford looks amazing. It was like, Oh,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Cindy Crawford's daughter is like, Oh, okay.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: And Cindy Crawford does still look amazing.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: They could easily put her in front of a Pepsi
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: machine again and Pepsi sales will go up.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She, we were talking about Salma Hayek yesterday. Cindy
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Crawford's another one where, And she's in her 60s now.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: She still looks fantastic. Clearly, that skin cream she's been
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: pimping for years works. Yep.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Or it doesn't, and it's just because it's going on
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: freaking Cindy Crawford. Meanwhile, the skin cream is like, man,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: that really paid off, guys. Good job. Meanwhile, the ones
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: that were doing stuff with Kathy Ireland, like, ooh, I
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: think that was a myth. Yeah. It's a good thing
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: we put her face on furniture. That's actually it for
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: some of the big birthdays. Oh, actually, there are actually
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: a couple of interesting birthdays here in the sports world.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Jenny Finch, Olympic softball gold medalist, is 46. Sean White
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: turns 40. Three-time Olympic snowboarding gold medalist, also known as
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: the Flying Tomato. He turns 40 today. Good for him.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: as I do one more scan, and Damon Stoudemire, just
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: for the hell of it, Damon Stoudemire is 53 today,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: and that just, for some reason, makes me feel old.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: It's like, how is Damon Stoudemire 53?
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Former NBA Rookie of the Year, nicknamed Mighty Mouse.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Ah, yeah.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, speaking of sports, a pair of former Dallas Cowboys
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: have made news, not because of anything good, but all
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: because of things bad. So Tony Romo was arrested for
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: operating while intoxicated a while back. And he initially denied
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: any wrongdoing, heavily denied it in the body cam video.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: And then when more body cam video came out of
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: him doing stretches in the garage for his roadside sobriety testing,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: we all thought, oh, that man's going to jail. And
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: so he pled no contest to his operating while intoxicated
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: charge in Wisconsin, which was probably for the best. His
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: attorneys probably said, Tony, we watched that tape and we
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: think it's best that you plead no contest. And so
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: he did. But he also did the other smart thing,
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: and that is he made sure to post a long
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: missive on social media talking about the reason why. he
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: was drinking that day. And that is because of multiple
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: back surgeries from his NFL days. He had gained an
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: addiction to pain pills and to help get off the
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: pain pill addiction. He overcompensated with alcohol, something Trey knows
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: all too well, being sober for 10 years. These are
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: things I'm sure you hear about in Alcoholics Anonymous all
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: That being said, that being said, uh, problems do not
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: equal excuses. He is taking responsibility for it.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: It's funny. Tiger Woods just pled out his DUI this morning.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Talk about someone who is... You can tell back surgeries
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: have wrecked him.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: The painkill thing, like you were about to say, that
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: is a serious blight on this country. The medical industry,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: health insurance, and the pain pill, the prescription first mentality.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: It's dangerous. And as you can see, it leads to
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: other problems in addition to its own problem. Did you
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: guys read Tony's statement?
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I did not.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: It's really long. I won't bore you with all the details,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: but basically he takes responsibility, says, hey, look, playing football hurts.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: And I took pills and then I tried to stop
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: taking the pills. So I drank some. And now I'm
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: working with a team of doctors to get me the
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: help I need. Thank you very much, Tony Romo.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Well, the other thing about that is which. His other passion,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: which is golf, not good for the back either.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Look, it's been like three or four years since I've
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: gone to Topgolf because of a back issue. And I
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: didn't play quarterback in the NFL for as long as
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: he did. Like, I'm a little stiff getting out of
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: bed in the morning, but I mean, I wouldn't even
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: just pick up a sand wedge at Topgolf because my
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: lower back was killing me so much a few years ago.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine what it takes to actually play golf
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: at a high level that he does in order to
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: get to your baseline to take the pain pills to
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: be able to swing like that. So I get it.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: I hope he gets the help that he needs, and
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I think he will. That being said, he's not the
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: only former Dallas Cowboy making headlines in bad ways. Emmitt Smith,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: NFL legend, Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor member, all-time leading
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: rusher in the NFL, has been implicated in a Ponzi scheme. Oh, no.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: This one fascinates me because the first thought you have is,
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't need money, dude. Why are you doing a
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Ponzi scheme? And then when you get a little more
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: of the details on it, you start to think, well,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: maybe it's not so much him directly. It might be
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: an association type of a thing. So there's a I'm
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: trying to stall here. I'm trying to pull up the
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: link here. He was implicated in like a two and
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: a half or three million dollar Ponzi scheme that I
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: believe they're saying they were using him as an endorser
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: slash spokesperson to then use to get others to join
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: into the scheme. Right. So now this is not a
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: criminal thing. This is purely a civil deal right now. Yes, Trey.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I honestly, as far as Ponzi schemes go, you say
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: two and a half, three million. That's really nothing. Mm hmm.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: I'm used to the Bernie Madoff stuff. If you're not
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: pushing hundreds of millions of dollars, is it really a
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Ponzi scheme? Or is it just like, I'm just trying
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: some pyramid scheme?
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're Amway. Exactly.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Who wants pampered chef? But yeah, I mean... I'm always
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: fascinated when former athletes who made lots of money in
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: their careers get implicated in certain things that's money-related. Because
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: those of us who never had that level of fame, success,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: and money, we're like, why would you do something so
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: seemingly stupid with it?
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Now, granted, he did not make the money that they
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: do now, but he still... you feel like should have
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: been well off. And, and he's, I can't, I can't
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: see him actually taking part in a Ponzi scheme, but
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I can certainly see him like so many other celebrities, athletes, whatever,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: that their entourage, you know, put him in the middle
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: of something that he didn't really know what he was
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: getting into.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Emmett Smith is accused of cheating a native American
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: investor out of two and a half million dollars. He
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: allegedly used money meant to fund a Texas solar project
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: to instead pay back a company that had previously invested
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: in his ventures. The lawsuit filed Monday in Delaware's Chancery
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Court from Kittewa LLC, the tribally owned investment and economic
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: development arm of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. It
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: claims the former Cowboys running back is longtime business partner
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: David Mosley. and their commercial real estate company, 413 Solutions, Inc.,
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: convinced Kitawa to provide a $ 2. 5 million loan for the
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: purported solar project. However, Kitawa says it has not received
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: a penny despite the loan being more than two years
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: past due and numerous requests for repayment. So again, this
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: is a civil thing. It's a lawsuit. He's not being
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: implicated criminally in this. But, you know, Emmett Smith, Ponzi scheme, $ 2. 5 million.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: It does make a lot of headlines.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it a Ponzi scheme or just a
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: bad investment?
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like to me, yeah. That's a
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: fair question. Speaking of bad decisions, I think it's probably
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: in your best interest, everyone, not just you, Trey, not
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: just you, Jerry, not to do business with someone called
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Crooked Jess. if you're going into any sort of a
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: deal and the person you're going into that deal with
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: is known as crooked Jess, anything you do, I feel
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: like is, is kind of your fault here.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Especially if, uh, where does crooked Jess reside?
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Florida. Yeah. I, I am. Yeah, a buy and bust
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: operation went bust after Florida police entrusted Jessica Crooked Jess
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Straubel with $ 60 to score some crack cocaine. As an
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: undercover officer watched, Crooked Jess walked over to a St.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Petersburg residence that facilitates transactions for illicit narcotics and disappeared
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: into the property's backyard. Surprisingly, Crooked Jess did not return
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: with the crack. After an hour... The deputy concluded that
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: Crooked Jess had no intentions of coming back to facilitate
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: the transaction and had deprived me of my money for
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: her own use. Come on, officer.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Well, here's my... Okay, I understand they're doing an undercover sting,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: and we're just talking about $ 60, but it really doesn't
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: look good on the police department that they lost the
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: person that they gave the money to. for months. It
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: took them months to track down Crooked Jess.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: How? How does it take that mug to track down
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Crooked Jess?
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: When you see her mugshot, you would think, even though
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: it's Florida, she would stand out.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: A little bit, and I'm going to show you the
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: mugshot here. Give me just a second. Here's this, and that,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: and here. Here's Crooked Jess. Okay, first of all, How
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: do you have a hard time tracking that down? I
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: feel like it'd be easy to track her down because
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: she would leave a wake of cracked and broken flock
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: cameras behind her.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just go to wherever the local meth
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: park is. You're going to find Crooked Jets.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: The local meth park?
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just assuming Florida, they've got, you know, meth crack parks.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Look, it is interesting how the U.S. is developing. I mean,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: in our Super Plus episode, we're talking about California publicly
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: funding jerk-off huts, and in Florida, they've got meth parks. Now,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: I will say this. Crooked Jess is not an attractive
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: photo taker. She might be beautiful in real life. Sorry,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: I couldn't finish the sentence. This is obviously not a
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: glamour shot of her. She didn't choose this. This is
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: a mug shot. She may look completely different in the
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: light of day. I don't know. But I do know, Trey,
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: that you're a pretty good looking fella. And so when
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: you updated your profile photo recently, I thought, oh, Trey
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: looks pretty good. He looks professional. He's wearing a polo.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: He has unveiled his new one person's treasure business. And
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: he's got a new professional profile photo to go along
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: with it. And then someone deep down in the comments
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: couldn't help but say, Ooh.
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was, uh, they, uh, I forgot exactly what
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: they said.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: It's Katie.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Katie Muck.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: She goes, you know, you're better looking, you know, AI
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: didn't do you justice. You need to take a better picture.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Your skincare. I know your skincare routines better. Like, damn. No, I, I,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Only thing I had AI do to that picture was
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: take the background out. And like, you know, Katie, I
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: am painfully well aware. I have aged a lot in
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: the last six months. You know, sorrow does that to you,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: but didn't need you telling me that.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: To me, that's right up there with like, whenever someone says, sorry,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: if you find this offensive or sorry, sorry, if it's like, don't, don't,
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: you're going to say it anyway. Don't apologize on the
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: front end. But she didn't even. Did she say sorry
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: first or she just go like, oh, no, she.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Didn't hear all. See if I can pull this up
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: so I can show the class.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, she did. Everyone's everyone in the comments on
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Trey's announcement with his profile photo and his new business venture.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: And everyone's like, yeah, this.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Is a great idea.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to call you for this. And then out
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: of nowhere, Katie slides into the comments, tags Trey. This
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: is a fabulous idea and hope to be in contact soon.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: But this is a horrible picture of you, darling, because
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: I know from everything else that you take very good
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: care of your skin and this is not you. Man,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: you just got bodied in the comments.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I was really, I don't take good pictures.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: And when I, so I took that picture and it was,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I was fairly pleased with it. It was okay. Yeah. Katie.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Katie from the top turnbuckle.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: We call this the humble elbow.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The elbow of age.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: That'd be a good episode title. Katie from the top turnbuckle.
• 56:17

• 56:32
  Speaker 2: enough for her.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Are we talking about her or me?
