0:24
Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
0:28
Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. Today is Wednesday, April eighth,
0:33
Speaker 1: two thy twenty five. I'm Daniel Malley. He is Trey Trendhome.
0:39
Speaker 1: Happy hump Day, Trey.
0:43
Speaker 2: That has to me too many settled meetings with you.
0:48
Speaker 1: It does typically, But there's nothing weird going on by
0:51
Speaker 1: me saying happy hump Day, at least not today. I
0:54
Speaker 1: just mean it generally and authentically, Happy hump Day, Happy
0:58
Speaker 1: Wednesdays that make you feel better, Happy Wednesday a little bit.
1:01
Speaker 1: There's nothing loaded in the statement at all. But I
1:05
Speaker 1: do appreciate the fact that my words have given you
1:08
Speaker 1: PTSD over the years. You've given me so much power,
1:12
Speaker 1: and I appreciate it. And now I'm going to use
1:16
Speaker 1: those words to bludgeon you with massive amounts of stupid today. Yeah,
1:22
Speaker 1: and I can't think of a better way to start
1:28
Speaker 1: the show than with this very uplifting story. Hang on,
1:34
Speaker 1: let me see here already, here we go. There is
1:41
Speaker 1: a man. There's almost always a man in this case.
1:45
Speaker 1: It's not Florida.
1:45
Speaker 2: Though.
1:49
Speaker 1: There are many times in my life where I see
1:52
Speaker 1: a story and I think, yeah, this is a story
1:55
Speaker 1: I need to share with my buddy tray because it's
1:58
Speaker 1: going to be a doozy and that's this one. A
2:01
Speaker 1: man with a lengthy criminal history is facing multiple felony
2:05
Speaker 1: charges for allegedly shoplifting more than twenty thousand dollars worth
2:10
Speaker 1: of merchandise from Walmart stores across North Georgia. His name
2:16
Speaker 1: is Speedy Gonzales. Seriously, yeah, I know I should have
2:25
Speaker 1: made this a believe it or not, but it was
2:28
Speaker 1: too good to draw it out that much. Police. Gainesville
2:32
Speaker 1: Police arrested forty year old Speedy Gonzales Yes that's his
2:36
Speaker 1: real name, after identifying him on surveillance footage out of
2:40
Speaker 1: Walmart in March in North Georgia. Speedy is accused of
2:45
Speaker 1: carrying out a series of thefts at stores in Hall, Barrow, Gwynett, Habersham,
2:49
Speaker 1: White and Lumpkin Counties. According to Gainesville Police, they say
2:54
Speaker 1: he does have a criminal history in Gainesville, Georgia, and
2:58
Speaker 1: again he's someone that we've dealt with numerous times. Investigators
3:02
Speaker 1: say Speedy Gonzales used a simple but effective method to
3:06
Speaker 1: conceal his thefts. He allegedly stuffed high priced smaller items
3:11
Speaker 1: such as nicotine products, diabetic test strips, and gum into
3:15
Speaker 1: larger containers like trash cans or mailboxes. Then at checkout
3:19
Speaker 1: he would pay only for the large item and lead
3:21
Speaker 1: the store with the concealed merchandise, something I think we
3:24
Speaker 1: all could recognize as the trojan horse method. I mean,
3:30
Speaker 1: something small inside the big thing to then carry out
3:33
Speaker 1: your nefarious plan.
3:35
Speaker 2: To rack up up to twenty grand in theft by
3:39
Speaker 2: that method. That's putting in some work.
3:41
Speaker 1: It is that takes a lot of work. That's a
3:43
Speaker 1: lot of effort to steal that amount of goods from Walmart,
3:47
Speaker 1: especially when so much of it's smaller now I think
3:52
Speaker 1: some of the nicotine products. This is sort of like
3:55
Speaker 1: a supermarket suite the old game show that used to
3:58
Speaker 1: come on, and you would have a certain amount of
4:00
Speaker 1: time to grab as much product as you could to
4:03
Speaker 1: throw it in your grocery cart, and whoever ended up
4:06
Speaker 1: with the highest grocery bill would win. That's kind of
4:09
Speaker 1: like what this guy seemed like he was doing, except
4:11
Speaker 1: he had never pay for any of them.
4:15
Speaker 2: Poor Speedy. Kudos to his parents, though.
4:21
Speaker 1: It's a serious sense of humor, and again this is
4:26
Speaker 1: not speedy. Gonzalez first run in with the law that
4:28
Speaker 1: came in twenty twenty when Gwinnet County arrested him for
4:31
Speaker 1: stealing checks from a mailbox and attempting to use them
4:35
Speaker 1: to purchase three thousand dollars worth of merchandise at home depot,
4:38
Speaker 1: So clearly he is a retail menace. Following this most
4:43
Speaker 1: recent arrest, Speedy Gonzales was initially booked into the Hall
4:46
Speaker 1: County Jail, currently being held in Barrow County as authorities
4:50
Speaker 1: across North Georgia work together to pursue additional charges. Police
4:56
Speaker 1: also say his accomplice, Slow Pope Rodriguez, is still.
5:00
Speaker 2: Along the road but can't catch up to Speedy, but
5:06
Speaker 2: they can't catch.

6:53
Speaker 1: Daniel Mallay. Key is Trey Trenholme. Today is Wednesday, April eighth,
6:58
Speaker 1: two thy twenty five. Tray and I we both have
7:01
Speaker 1: jobs here inside the Treehouse. We have our treehouse jobs.
7:04
Speaker 1: I also have a job on the side as a
7:07
Speaker 1: wedding efficiant, and Trey has his main slash side gig
7:13
Speaker 1: as a bar manager, a high end bar manager. None
7:17
Speaker 1: of that nasty stuff, only the good stuff for O
7:21
Speaker 1: Man Trey. But if we were looking for a new job,
7:26
Speaker 1: there are some things that we need to be aware of.
7:28
Speaker 1: So that's what we're going to help you with right
7:30
Speaker 1: now inside the treehouse. That is, if you are looking
7:36
Speaker 1: for a new job, you need to listen up, because
7:39
Speaker 1: there are some new tactics that hiring managers are using
7:42
Speaker 1: to decide whether or not you get the job. Okay,
7:47
Speaker 1: one is the salt and pepper test. Have you heard
7:50
Speaker 1: of the salt and pepper test deciding whether or not
7:52
Speaker 1: you get a job?
7:53
Speaker 2: I have not.
7:55
Speaker 1: According to this test, HR managers have used to decide
7:59
Speaker 1: whether or not to give someone a job based on
8:02
Speaker 1: whether or not they season their food before they've even
8:06
Speaker 1: tasted it. So, if you're at a job interview that's
8:09
Speaker 1: happening over lunch or dinner or even breakfast, if you
8:12
Speaker 1: season your food before you've even tasted it, some HR
8:15
Speaker 1: managers see that as a red flag and may not
8:19
Speaker 1: consider you for the job because of it. They have
8:23
Speaker 1: their own reasonings for it, but a lot of it
8:24
Speaker 1: has to do with basically being impulsive, among other things.
8:31
Speaker 1: But they just see it as it's a red flag
8:34
Speaker 1: and now you know, so if you're looking for a job,
8:36
Speaker 1: beware the salt and pepper test. They even go so
8:39
Speaker 1: far as to say that the test is not new,
8:43
Speaker 1: but because of social media, people are kind of panicking
8:46
Speaker 1: over this what they think to be is a new tactic.
8:50
Speaker 1: One of the original stories that people heard about the
8:53
Speaker 1: salt and pepper test was two young men applying for
8:55
Speaker 1: a job at a fortune five hundred company. One of
8:57
Speaker 1: the men went to Harvard, one went to Yale. They
9:00
Speaker 1: were both exceptional in every way and numerous references to
9:04
Speaker 1: vouch for their character. They were both so good the
9:05
Speaker 1: CEO couldn't decide which one to hire, and since there
9:08
Speaker 1: was only one job, only one could be hired. So
9:11
Speaker 1: we invited him to dinner to see if he could
9:13
Speaker 1: figure out which was the best candidate. When the food arrived,
9:16
Speaker 1: one of the men put salt and pepper on his food,
9:18
Speaker 1: while the other man took a small bite of each
9:20
Speaker 1: on his dish, then added salt and pepper the CEU.
9:25
Speaker 1: The CEO knew right then in there that the man
9:27
Speaker 1: who tasted his food first was the one who should
9:29
Speaker 1: get the job. Does that make sense to you?
9:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. I mean I understand the reasoning behind it.
9:37
Speaker 2: I mean some people would just go, I know that
9:40
Speaker 2: food is never salted enough, and that's why they're doing it.
9:43
Speaker 2: But yeah, in general, you should always try your food
9:45
Speaker 2: first before you add salt, salt, or pepper to.
9:48
Speaker 1: It, unless, of course, you're able to check that disability
9:52
Speaker 1: box and tell them. So you're excluding me because of
9:56
Speaker 1: my taste bud disability I had.
9:59
Speaker 2: It.
9:59
Speaker 1: Sounds like a dumb thing, but honest to God, I
10:01
Speaker 1: think my brother in law has it because my brother
10:04
Speaker 1: in law's Vietnamese, and so he grew up on eating
10:06
Speaker 1: severely spicy food, so spicy that I think he's burned
10:10
Speaker 1: through a majority of his taste buds to where he
10:13
Speaker 1: can't eat something and taste it unless it's through the
10:16
Speaker 1: roof spicy. So like at Thanksgiving, he has a little
10:21
Speaker 1: side dish of hot peppers. And I don't mean hot
10:25
Speaker 1: peppers like white guy hot peppers, right, I mean like
10:29
Speaker 1: Asian dude hot peppers, and he'll have little bits of
10:33
Speaker 1: it on every single bite of turkey. I tried one
10:38
Speaker 1: bite once and I still won't touch his food. It's
10:42
Speaker 1: been years, So if you have a lunch interview, dinner interview,
10:46
Speaker 1: beware the salt and pepper test. And look, finding a
10:50
Speaker 1: job nowadays is hard enough without trying to think about
10:52
Speaker 1: all the sneaky ways that you're being tested. But I
10:56
Speaker 1: guess it's kind of the reality of things nowadays. It's
10:59
Speaker 1: not just so much whether or not you're qualified. It's
11:02
Speaker 1: how you eat your food.
11:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like a bit much, but it is
11:11
Speaker 2: what it is.
11:12
Speaker 1: There is another test. This one is the coffee test
11:15
Speaker 1: to decide whether or not you get a job. Okay.
11:20
Speaker 1: In this this trick was described by an Australian boss
11:24
Speaker 1: whose name is Trent Ennis, and he said he always
11:27
Speaker 1: takes prospective employees for a walk to the kitchen to
11:30
Speaker 1: the break room for a drink. He calls it the
11:33
Speaker 1: coffee cup test, but it doesn't matter if it's coffee
11:35
Speaker 1: or not. It could be tee, water whatever. What he's
11:37
Speaker 1: looking for is what you do with your cup after
11:41
Speaker 1: the interview. So what he says is we take the
11:44
Speaker 1: drink back to the office, we have our interview, and
11:46
Speaker 1: one of the things I'm always looking for at the
11:48
Speaker 1: end of the interview is does the person doing the interview,
11:52
Speaker 1: want to take that empty cup back to the kitchen
11:55
Speaker 1: and clean it, or at least put it back in
11:57
Speaker 1: the kitchen, He says. The reasoning is because it highlights
12:01
Speaker 1: whether or not you're a team player, if you're considerate
12:04
Speaker 1: or not, and if you care about the small things.
12:09
Speaker 1: Is this too much.
12:12
Speaker 2: That I understand because just service industry, you interview people,
12:18
Speaker 2: you know, they get glass of water or whatever. It
12:21
Speaker 2: is very telling on if they're going to clean up
12:26
Speaker 2: after themselves or you know, if they're they realize that
12:30
Speaker 2: if they leave that glass there, they're creating work for
12:32
Speaker 2: somebody else. So I get that one.
12:36
Speaker 1: I remember. This reminds me. Early on in his career,
12:38
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott did something like this on the sideline during
12:42
Speaker 1: a game he was on He was on the bench
12:44
Speaker 1: and he had just finished a cup of gatorade and
12:47
Speaker 1: he wadded it up and threw it over his shoulder
12:49
Speaker 1: towards the trash can. And this was all cut on television.
12:53
Speaker 2: It got intercepted.
12:56
Speaker 1: No, this was early in his career. Uh, he did
12:59
Speaker 1: miss the trash can, which is about three feet wide.
13:02
Speaker 1: He missed the trash can, but instead of leaving it
13:04
Speaker 1: on the ground in a testament to Dak Prescott's character.
13:07
Speaker 1: He stood up from the bench, walked over, picked up
13:11
Speaker 1: the cup and threw it in the trash can, and
13:15
Speaker 1: that says a lot about his character. Now, you're right, Trey.
13:19
Speaker 1: He still missed the initial throw and that should have
13:21
Speaker 1: been a huge red flak for us as Cowboys fan.
13:24
Speaker 1: But at least we know he's a good person. He
13:28
Speaker 1: still had hit a wide open trash can with a
13:30
Speaker 1: gatory cup, but he'll at least pick it up for
13:33
Speaker 1: you after.
13:33
Speaker 2: Did Zeke pop out when he threw the trash can
13:36
Speaker 2: or the cup in?
13:38
Speaker 1: He tried, but he got hurt.
13:49
Speaker 3: You're in the treehouse.
13:51
Speaker 4: Risen is online at treehouseonair dot com.

Speaker 1: The RMS Treehouse Listeners Foundation exists to help the families
14:10
Speaker 1: of fallen DFW police officers and firefighters killed in the
14:14
Speaker 1: line of duty, and we've been very fortunate over the
14:17
Speaker 1: years to partner with some outstanding companies wanting to help,
14:21
Speaker 1: and today we get to add Cook DFW's name to
14:24
Speaker 1: that list of excellent sponsors to the foundation because Daniel,
14:28
Speaker 1: you and your wife Carrie have said, you know what,
14:29
Speaker 1: we love our community and we want to do something
14:32
Speaker 1: to give back to our first responders in DFW.
14:34
Speaker 6: Right, Dan, That's absolutely correct, and you know, truth be known,
14:38
Speaker 6: Carrie has given to the foundation for quite so many years.
14:43
Speaker 6: But now at a company level, I think we are
14:45
Speaker 6: wanting to definitely you know, beef that up and start
14:49
Speaker 6: giving back to the foundation. And it's unfortunately, this is
14:53
Speaker 6: a foundation nobody wants to have to donate to, but
14:56
Speaker 6: it's the real world is that these things do happen,
14:58
Speaker 6: and it's the type of foundation that you don't want around,
15:02
Speaker 6: but you definitely want it to be, you know, available
15:05
Speaker 6: to the families that need it. And so over the
15:08
Speaker 6: next couple of months, you know, a portion of all
15:10
Speaker 6: the proceeds from the work done from Treehouse Listeners that
15:14
Speaker 6: call in and let us know that they heard about

Speaker 6: you on the show, we're going to be donating to

Speaker 6: we can keep that very stable in the accounting side
15:26
Speaker 6: and have funds available that when the families need it
15:29
Speaker 6: it's going to be there. So we're very fortunate to
15:32
Speaker 6: be a part of the organization and we look forward
15:35
Speaker 6: to try and assist and help it as much.
15:37
Speaker 2: As we can.

16:41
Speaker 1: April eighth, two thy twenty five. We were just talking
16:45
Speaker 1: about some of the tests that hiring managers will put
16:49
Speaker 1: prospective employees through, which I don't know. I've had interviews before,
16:54
Speaker 1: but in my recent work history, you know, with radio stuff,
16:58
Speaker 1: it hasn't been so much about how you do in
17:00
Speaker 1: an interview or whether or not there's an interview. It's
17:03
Speaker 1: just whether or not the person you're meeting with knows
17:07
Speaker 1: you already and someone's already recommended you for a job.
17:10
Speaker 1: Like the previous two radio jobs I had, it wasn't
17:13
Speaker 1: even an interview. It was more of a formality to
17:16
Speaker 1: come in and do paperwork because it was already happening. Yeah,
17:21
Speaker 1: that being said, in my younger career, I thought I
17:24
Speaker 1: was pretty good at doing job interviews. How about you,
17:27
Speaker 1: Dre You've had to do them more recently, with you know,
17:31
Speaker 1: actual interview questions and things.
17:34
Speaker 2: I think I've always done pretty well. I've try not
17:38
Speaker 2: to overthink it. I stories like that would would if
17:45
Speaker 2: I really thought about them too much, then I would
17:47
Speaker 2: probably really hurt myself and trying to overanalyze everything I
17:51
Speaker 2: said and did I mean, But I honestly one of
17:55
Speaker 2: the biggest things, especially in this day and age, when
17:58
Speaker 2: I interview people. Number one thing, do they show up
18:02
Speaker 2: on time?
18:04
Speaker 3: Yes?
18:06
Speaker 1: And it seems to us like that would just be
18:11
Speaker 1: a given and it would be the exception that someone
18:15
Speaker 1: show up late to an interview. But I kind of
18:18
Speaker 1: get the idea that's not the case with the people
18:21
Speaker 1: you've interviewed.
18:23
Speaker 2: No, it's it's especially not picking on gen Z, but
18:28
Speaker 2: they they are not good about being on time.
18:34
Speaker 1: It's not their fault. Tree they can't read clocks.
18:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true, but they can just ask Siri
18:41
Speaker 2: to set them on alarm.
18:44
Speaker 3: That is true.
18:45
Speaker 1: That is true. There does need to be a fair
18:47
Speaker 1: amount of accountability. Now. Part of the reason I bring
18:51
Speaker 1: this up is because I'm always fascinated by people that
18:54
Speaker 1: work in HR. My previous job at iHeartRadio, I dealt
18:59
Speaker 1: with HR on a on a few occasions, not because
19:01
Speaker 1: I was in trouble, but you know, things happen sometimes
19:06
Speaker 1: you have to answer questions. But an HR lady has
19:10
Speaker 1: gone viral. A woman who works in HR has gone
19:13
Speaker 1: viral for listing some of the craziest things that she's
19:16
Speaker 1: had to fire people for. You want to hear a couple.
19:21
Speaker 2: I would love to all. Right, here we go.
19:24
Speaker 1: So here is this HR lady who's gone viral sharing
19:28
Speaker 1: some of the crazy things that she's had to fire
19:30
Speaker 1: people for.
19:32
Speaker 8: The first guy was napping in his car from ten
19:34
Speaker 8: am till almost one every single day. He had been
19:37
Speaker 8: doing this for like four months straight. But I ended
19:39
Speaker 8: up firing him by knocking on his door because we
19:42
Speaker 8: were trying to find him and he was a wall
19:43
Speaker 8: and he opened the door and he was so shocked
19:45
Speaker 8: and he could not believe that he was getting fired
19:47
Speaker 8: for sleeping three hours every single day.
19:50
Speaker 1: Real quick. I wouldn't mind defending this guy only because
19:53
Speaker 1: I'm curious. Was he really not doing his job or
19:56
Speaker 1: was he doing so much work between nine am and
19:59
Speaker 1: ten am that he was tired and needed to go sleep.
20:02
Speaker 1: So maybe he got all his work done, he was
20:03
Speaker 1: just you know, napping in the middle of the day.
20:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure that was it. He was so productive
20:09
Speaker 2: in one hour that, yeah, he.
20:11
Speaker 1: Needed to sleep for three Yeah. Here's here's another example
20:16
Speaker 1: of a reason she had to fire somebody.
20:18
Speaker 9: An employee had just gotten a verbal warning so not
20:21
Speaker 9: even written anything about stealing company supplies because he was
20:24
Speaker 9: loading cases of toilet paper into his vehicle. He got
20:27
Speaker 9: really upset and went straight into We had this big
20:29
Speaker 9: glass meeting room where all the execs for meeting turned around,
20:32
Speaker 9: dropped his pants and stuck his butt against the window.
20:37
Speaker 1: I was about to say, I've done some of these
20:40
Speaker 1: things that she's talking about. I have stolen supplies from
20:43
Speaker 1: work and taken them home from my personal use. I'd
20:46
Speaker 1: see what else? What was the first thing she mentioned?
20:48
Speaker 1: The sleeping. I've slept at work before. Now again, working
20:51
Speaker 1: in radio and entertainment, things we can get away with more.
20:54
Speaker 2: You can.
20:54
Speaker 1: Like I had an office and there were times where
20:57
Speaker 1: I didn't feel good, so I would close the door,
20:59
Speaker 1: lock it, turn the line off, and take a little
21:01
Speaker 1: power nap.
21:03
Speaker 2: Well, I think a power nap is one thing. Three
21:05
Speaker 2: hour three hour sleep is totally different.
21:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never slept through the job.
21:11
Speaker 2: You know.
21:11
Speaker 1: It's like if we were on the air at three o'clock,
21:14
Speaker 1: I might sleep till about two forty five, then get
21:16
Speaker 1: up and do my thing. I wouldn't sleep till four.
21:21
Speaker 1: I've also never mooned. I've never mooned everybody in the
21:23
Speaker 1: conference room. So that's one thing I haven't done that
21:26
Speaker 1: she mentioned there. But as I go through the as
21:31
Speaker 1: I go through my work history, my work experience, and
21:35
Speaker 1: I think about the people that I've worked with over
21:37
Speaker 1: the years, things that they've done, things that I've done.
21:40
Speaker 1: Some of these things that she's going viral for really
21:42
Speaker 1: aren't that crazy to me?
21:46
Speaker 2: I mean, no, there's no firearms involved.
21:48
Speaker 1: There's no firearms involved.
21:49
Speaker 3: You're right.
21:50
Speaker 1: You know what is crazy, though? Peeing in the corner,
21:52
Speaker 1: not once, but twice and not getting fired, that's crazy.
21:58
Speaker 1: Calling management idiots and not getting fired. That's crazy. Pissing
22:04
Speaker 1: off clients and not getting fired. I think that would count.
22:07
Speaker 1: Cutting your own internet line when working remotely and not
22:10
Speaker 1: getting fired. That's crazy.
22:14
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
22:15
Speaker 1: Not showing up for eight months straight and not getting fired.
22:20
Speaker 2: That's sleeping through a month of work.
22:24
Speaker 1: He had the best job in the world and he
22:26
Speaker 1: ruined it by dying.

Speaker 1: He's Trey Trendheld. This is the Treehouse Show. It's Wednesday,
23:23
Speaker 1: April eighth, twenty twenty five. Happy hump Day with no
23:27
Speaker 1: loaded sentiment behind it whatsoever. Just happy Wednesday. See Trey,
23:30
Speaker 1: there's nothing loaded in there. You're fine. Sure, we've got
23:38
Speaker 1: to work on our trust issues. You know what you need?
23:43
Speaker 1: You need an emotional support animal. Maybe that'll help you
23:46
Speaker 1: with your PTSD and dealing with me. Over the twenty
23:51
Speaker 1: years we've known each other. Would Daisy or chihuahua? Would
23:56
Speaker 1: she do you have emotional support papers on her? Or
24:00
Speaker 1: do you just hold her up? And everyone just kind
24:01
Speaker 1: of says, yeah, okay, go ahead, because she's that adorable.
24:05
Speaker 2: I've never had anyone really give me any grief about her.
24:09
Speaker 1: I feel like Daisy is everyone's emotional support chihuahua.
24:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Daisy doesn't bring a smile to your face
24:16
Speaker 2: and there's just something wrong.
24:17
Speaker 1: With you that is the ultimate litmus test.
24:20
Speaker 2: You're right.
24:22
Speaker 1: If you don't smile when you see Daisy, there's something
24:26
Speaker 1: severely wrong with you.
24:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, or I'll say this. Over the years, she has
24:30
Speaker 2: been one hundred percent. The very few people she's ever
24:34
Speaker 2: coming across she did not like. They turned out to
24:38
Speaker 2: not be good people.
24:40
Speaker 3: Interesting.
24:41
Speaker 2: Who was it?
24:41
Speaker 1: Can you tell me? Do I know who it was?
24:43
Speaker 3: Now?
24:43
Speaker 2: You don't know any of them? All right? Damn it?
24:45
Speaker 2: All right?
24:46
Speaker 1: Well, it's good to know that there actually are people
24:48
Speaker 1: out there, so it really does work as an actual
24:51
Speaker 1: red flag test. Speaking of emotional support animals and Nevada
24:58
Speaker 1: man was a avdaman got in trouble recently because of
25:04
Speaker 1: his emotional support tigers. Yeah, you heard that correctly. A
25:13
Speaker 1: avda man was arrested after officials seized seven tigers that
25:19
Speaker 1: he claimed as his emotional support tigers. I would have
25:30
Speaker 1: a difficult time trying to think of a worse animal
25:35
Speaker 1: to have as an emotional support animal than a tiger.
25:38
Speaker 1: Maybe emotional support moose. I mean, because if you're talking
25:44
Speaker 1: about whether it's dangerous or just completely ridiculous, I mean,
25:48
Speaker 1: there's you're not You're going to be hard pressed to
25:50
Speaker 1: find something dumber than a tiger.
25:52
Speaker 2: Well, I really feel like that an emotional support cat
25:56
Speaker 2: of any type is an oxymoron at best, because they
26:04
Speaker 2: don't care about your feelings. Oh, they're not here to
26:07
Speaker 2: support your emotions.
26:08
Speaker 1: No, animal welfare workers recovered the tigers in cages at
26:14
Speaker 1: Pa Rump, the home of longtime big cat handler Carl Mitchell,
26:19
Speaker 1: last Wednesday. Pa Rump is a real town and it's
26:23
Speaker 1: just outside Death Valley National Park. Now. Mister Mitchell claimed
26:26
Speaker 1: he had obtained six of the seven large cats from
26:29
Speaker 1: incarcerated zoo keeper Joseph Allen Maldonado. And if that name
26:34
Speaker 1: sounds familiar to you, that's because he's better known as
26:36
Speaker 1: Joe Exotic from the Netflix Docuseriies the Tiger King that
26:41
Speaker 1: was so popular during the pandemic.
26:44
Speaker 2: You know, I knew as you're reading the story, I'm like,
26:48
Speaker 2: that's Tiger King has got to be tied in somewhere
26:51
Speaker 2: to this.
26:53
Speaker 1: Now, here's an interesting twist, as if keeping seven emotional
26:56
Speaker 1: support tigers on your property, on your property legally in
27:01
Speaker 1: Nevada wasn't a twist enough. Joe Exotic himself has come
27:06
Speaker 1: out publicly to denounce any involvement with this man and
27:10
Speaker 1: his tigers from jail at the Federal Medical Facility in
27:17
Speaker 1: Fort Worth. Joe Exotic denied giving anyone tigers. He said,
27:23
Speaker 1: you need to quit slandering me on television before you
27:26
Speaker 1: do your research. None of these tigers came from me,
27:29
Speaker 1: he said. This is what he released on X slash Twitter.
27:33
Speaker 1: He says, until you want a real story, leave my
27:36
Speaker 1: name out of it. The sixty two year old Kansas
27:38
Speaker 1: native is currently serving a twenty one year sentence at
27:41
Speaker 1: the Federal Medical Facility in Fort Worth. In twenty nineteen,
27:43
Speaker 1: he was convicted of nineteen counts of wildlife crimes and
27:46
Speaker 1: two counts relating to a murder for higher case of
27:49
Speaker 1: rival zoo operator Carol Baskin. So seven tigers seized from
27:55
Speaker 1: a man in Parumph, Nevada. He claims they were emotion
28:00
Speaker 1: will support tigers he got from Joe Exotic. Joe Exotic,
28:02
Speaker 1: from federal prison publicly states, nuh uh, this has nothing
28:08
Speaker 1: to do with me.
28:10
Speaker 2: Why does a prisoner have an X account?
28:15
Speaker 1: Great question? Great question? Why is he tweeting yea or
28:20
Speaker 1: ex singer whatever it is that that Elon calls it
28:23
Speaker 1: from his platform? But yeah, no, he's he says no, no, no,
28:28
Speaker 1: these are these have nothing to do with me. I
28:30
Speaker 1: want nothing. This is no connection to me whatsoever, vehemently
28:33
Speaker 1: denying it. I'm not sure he denied the murder for
28:38
Speaker 1: higher plot against Carol is as hard as he's denying this,
28:42
Speaker 1: which would explain the reason why he's in jail for
28:44
Speaker 1: twenty one years. But again, I'm gonna I'm gonna go
28:47
Speaker 1: back to my original point. Of all the animals on
28:52
Speaker 1: this planet, this man chose tigers to be his emotional
28:56
Speaker 1: support animals. I mean, there, that's that's a level of
29:01
Speaker 1: ridiculous that even you and I tray here inside the
29:03
Speaker 1: Treehouse can respect and appreciate.
29:08
Speaker 2: Again, I mean, if you're looking for emotional support from
29:12
Speaker 2: a cat, you you have, you have. You have issues
29:17
Speaker 2: that are so much deeper you are beyond help. Yeah,
29:22
Speaker 2: and the cat's going no, God of the alligator.

30:11
Speaker 1: Today is April eighth, twoenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today
30:17
Speaker 1: hump day with some what what are you looking at
30:22
Speaker 1: me like that?
30:22
Speaker 2: For today's the ninth? Is it? Yeah?
30:29
Speaker 1: Oh man, I've been saying the wrong date all day.
30:32
Speaker 1: Thanks for catching it five segments in. You know, all right,
30:37
Speaker 1: today is Wednesday, April ninth, twenty twenty five. So gen
30:44
Speaker 1: Z can't read clocks and me, as gen X, I
30:47
Speaker 1: can't read a calendar.
30:50
Speaker 2: You're of an age. Now you just blame it on
30:51
Speaker 2: your I sight.
30:54
Speaker 1: All right, it's because of my eyes, that's the problem.
30:58
Speaker 1: Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Wednesday April ninth, two
31:02
Speaker 1: thy twenty five. He played Brand Stark on Game of Thrones.
31:08
Speaker 1: His actual name is Isaac Hempstead. Right, he's twenty six today, Trey.
31:15
Speaker 1: You said you watched what was it the first season
31:17
Speaker 1: to Game of Thrones? But no more. Yeah, there's I
31:21
Speaker 1: don't know what account does it, but I've seen a
31:23
Speaker 1: few videos online where someone will take from some AI
31:29
Speaker 1: platform they'll take an established show and turn it on
31:33
Speaker 1: its head, and someone did that with Game of Thrones.
31:39
Speaker 1: They did an AI generated Game of Thrones intro, but
31:43
Speaker 1: as like a like a sitcom, I think, and so
31:47
Speaker 1: it had all the AI generated images of all the
31:50
Speaker 1: characters in their faces. It was really really good. And actually,
31:55
Speaker 1: because Game of Thrones is so high drama, high stakes,
31:59
Speaker 1: people dying left and right, it's extremely gory and violent
32:04
Speaker 1: and just not kid friendly whatsoever. So taking that show
32:07
Speaker 1: and making it look like a sitcom pretty funny, especially
32:11
Speaker 1: knowing some of the storylines that happened with some of
32:13
Speaker 1: those people. So if you ever get a chance to
32:15
Speaker 1: see some of those watch them. They're very very good.
32:18
Speaker 1: Other birthdays today, El Fanning turns twenty seven. That is
32:22
Speaker 1: Dakota Fanning's younger sister. Elle Fanning is Princess Aurora on
32:27
Speaker 1: Maleficent and the sequel, and she's also Katherine the Great
32:32
Speaker 1: on Hulu's The Great. Elle Fanning turns twenty seven today.
32:37
Speaker 1: Stone faced Kristin Stewart is thirty five. She's probably best
32:42
Speaker 1: known as what's her name in the Twilight movies.
32:49
Speaker 2: We did this last time?
32:50
Speaker 1: Did we?
32:51
Speaker 4: Yeah?
32:51
Speaker 2: We can never remember.
32:55
Speaker 1: Her character Belle. She played bell or Bella. Is that
32:58
Speaker 1: my dog's name, Bella?
32:59
Speaker 2: Bella?
33:01
Speaker 1: Now I regret naming my dog Bella anyway. Kristen Stewart,
33:06
Speaker 1: the actress, is thirty five. Waitn me double check, yeah,
33:10
Speaker 1: thirty five today. Christin Stewart thirty five today. There was
33:13
Speaker 1: another movie she was in. I can't remember the name
33:14
Speaker 1: of it and didn't see it, and I don't think
33:15
Speaker 1: anybody else did. Where it was her in some sort
33:19
Speaker 1: of research facility at the bottom of the ocean and
33:21
Speaker 1: a scary monster thing is happening. I don't know about you,
33:24
Speaker 1: but I've seen that. I've seen a version of that
33:28
Speaker 1: movie no less than three times, and Hollywood seems to
33:32
Speaker 1: revisit that trope on a pretty regular basis.
33:35
Speaker 2: All right, speaking of complete sidebar, because the number one
33:40
Speaker 2: of those movies for me, it's kind of Abyss.
33:44
Speaker 1: Okay, Number two for me is Leviathan.
33:46
Speaker 2: I think. Okay, but have you ever read how awful
33:52
Speaker 2: shooting The Abyss was like, to the point where the
33:55
Speaker 2: cast will not talk about it.
33:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure if I knew this? So this
34:01
Speaker 1: was this was James Cameron directed The Abyss?
34:03
Speaker 2: Right, I think so? But uh, oh, what's his name?
34:10
Speaker 2: Played Ed Harris, like nearly died because of one of
34:14
Speaker 2: the swimming scenes and holding his breath too long, and
34:17
Speaker 2: how cold and miserable it was, and like, evidently that
34:22
Speaker 2: scarred that cast for life.
34:26
Speaker 1: That really speaks volumes to me, because Ed Harris is
34:31
Speaker 1: no wimpy man. That is a that is a man's man.
34:35
Speaker 1: He is a manly actor. It's it's it's Ed freaking Harris.
34:39
Speaker 1: So if Ed Harris won't talk about it it was
34:42
Speaker 1: that bad and he had issues with things on the set,
34:47
Speaker 1: then you know it must have been bad.
34:49
Speaker 2: If you ever want it. It's an interesting read to
34:51
Speaker 2: go go read the like and it's just bits and
34:55
Speaker 2: pieces because again the cast really won't talk about it,
34:59
Speaker 2: but evidently filming that movie was quite traumatic.
35:03
Speaker 1: Interesting And again we're talking about James Cameron who directed
35:07
Speaker 1: The Abyss, and it seems I guess it kind of
35:11
Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, you're talking about a guy that
35:13
Speaker 1: spent a lot of his life at the bottom of
35:15
Speaker 1: the ocean floor, so maybe that that's where he feels
35:19
Speaker 1: most comfortable, away from people and on the bottom of
35:23
Speaker 1: the ocean.
35:23
Speaker 2: I mean, I can relate to the man, but you
35:26
Speaker 2: don't have to kill other people that do it, And
35:29
Speaker 2: DiCaprio would have died if that was the case.
35:31
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that is very true.
35:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.
35:33
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you show up to work and you're
35:34
Speaker 1: looking around at all the people that you're in charge
35:36
Speaker 1: of that day and say, you know what, after this
35:38
Speaker 1: is done, I think I'm going to take a vacation
35:41
Speaker 1: two miles to the bottom of the ocean floor just
35:43
Speaker 1: to look for stuff. I think that says some things
35:46
Speaker 1: about you. Yeah, it says some things about us that
35:50
Speaker 1: we think that. What's it like this time of year?
35:55
Speaker 1: Do they have an all inclusive plan?

37:02
Speaker 1: He's trade turn home Today is still Wednesday, April ninth,
37:05
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, now that I've got that correct. There
37:09
Speaker 1: was a really, really fun story that happened the other day,
37:12
Speaker 1: fun for us, not necessarily for the people involved in it.
37:16
Speaker 1: And yeah, it happened in Florida. A man flipped out
37:20
Speaker 1: after being denied a free refill at a kid's lemonade stand.
37:26
Speaker 1: I mean, come on. A forty five year old man
37:29
Speaker 1: in Florida named Stephen Cussomano stopped at a kid's lemonade
37:33
Speaker 1: stand on Tuesday last week. He bought one glass of lemonade,
37:37
Speaker 1: downed it, and then got mad when they wouldn't give
37:40
Speaker 1: him a free refill. There was an adult woman at
37:43
Speaker 1: the stand with several of these kids, and Stephen, the suspect,
37:47
Speaker 1: confronted her and grabbed her by the wrist aggressively, according
37:50
Speaker 1: to the police report, and was standing in a fighting
37:53
Speaker 1: stance threatening to beat her up. He eventually walked away
37:56
Speaker 1: and the woman called the police. They tracked him down
37:59
Speaker 1: and arrested him. He confirmed the woman's story, but he
38:03
Speaker 1: felt justified because he said he grabbed her because she
38:07
Speaker 1: was talking crap to him. He didn't use the word crap,
38:10
Speaker 1: he said something else, But he felt justified that since
38:13
Speaker 1: she was speaking all sorts of things to him, that
38:16
Speaker 1: he was allowed to grab her in an aggressive manner
38:18
Speaker 1: and get into a fighting stance and threatened to beat
38:20
Speaker 1: her up in front of a bunch of kids after
38:23
Speaker 1: being denied a free refill at the kid's lemonade stand.
38:29
Speaker 2: Probably paid like a dollar for a glass of lemonade,
38:31
Speaker 2: and then he added his free refills.
38:33
Speaker 1: Yep, okay, the two things. Number one, What was in
38:39
Speaker 1: that lemonade? I mean that sounds good. If you're willing
38:43
Speaker 1: to fight people, If you're willing to fight children for
38:47
Speaker 1: a free refill, that's got to be some good lemonade.
38:53
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean, is it because it was that
38:56
Speaker 2: good when you just paid for the refill?
38:58
Speaker 1: Maybe? Unless there's some of lemonade tariff going on that
39:01
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of driving up the cost of lemonade. Look,
39:07
Speaker 1: if it's forty five dollars for a cup of lemonade,
39:09
Speaker 1: I can understand demanding a free refill.
39:12
Speaker 2: Fair enough.
39:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're right if it's a dollar and it's
39:15
Speaker 1: just these little kids, you know, doing their kid lemonade
39:19
Speaker 1: stand Come on, man, yeah, I mean I don't know
39:24
Speaker 1: if I don't know if kids lemonade stands do shot specials. Yeah,
39:29
Speaker 1: although although if they did, Florida would be the place.
39:33
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there'd be a line. Yeah, that's just go Hey,
39:39
Speaker 2: would you do that at a waffle house? I don't
39:42
Speaker 2: think so. Oh here's the test, Trey.
39:46
Speaker 1: You've just touched on something new. Because when I was
39:49
Speaker 1: a kid, it was it was the wristband? What would
39:52
Speaker 1: Jesus do?
39:53
Speaker 2: Test?
39:53
Speaker 1: So I like the new twenty first century version of
39:57
Speaker 1: it is, would you do this at a waffle house?
40:03
Speaker 1: Let that be the barometer by which you live your life.
40:06
Speaker 2: Go lay hands on the waffle house person, see what happens.
40:12
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear the story about the man that
40:14
Speaker 1: laid hands on the waffle house cook? No you haven't. Okay,
40:21
Speaker 1: I think we should get some wristbands made. For all
