• 0:57
  Speaker 1: There's a man, a Texas man, Brandon Booth, was arrested
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: after a more than two minute struggle with a Sigeville
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: police officer. He faces multiple felony charges, including robbery, aggravated
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: assault against a public servant, unauthorized use of a vehicle,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: evading arrest, and two counts of unlawful possession of a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: firearm by a felon. But that's not why he's about
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to go viral. Oh no, he's about to go viral
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: because of his gang affiliation bill Alone.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Booth had a warrant for a parole violation for unlawful
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: possession of a firearm by felon. According to Sigeville police,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: who say he's a documented gang member.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I just know that he's a Peckerwood.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Peckerwood, and that's his gang.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That's his gang afiliation.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Is he's a Peckerwood.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: All right, So let's go to the reference materials for
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: those that are curious Peckerwoods are real. Currently, the term
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: peckerwood is used to refer both to white youths with
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: loose ties to white power gangs in and out of prison.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: This is according to Urban Dictionary, as well as to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: actual skinhead gangs who have incorporated Peckerwood into their name.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The various Peckerwood gangs appear to be concentrated largely in California,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: where they participate in the methamphetamine trade and have ties
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to other white supremacist gangs such as the Nazi Lowriders.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Peckerwood gang members have been charged with a variety of crimes,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: ranging from dealing drugs to attempted murder. Many gang members
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: sport peer would wood tattoos to display their affiliations.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine what that gang sign looks like when
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: you're like throwing out the gang signs?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, I can. I think it's more of a gesture.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And for those for those that need a little more
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: historical context for Peckerwood's, Southern Blacks used peckerwood as a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: derogatory term to describe poor and or rural Southern whites.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: A Dictionary of African Americans Slang explains that the term
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: peckerwood had its origins in the word woodpecker, black saw
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: blackbirds and a symbol of themselves, and the contrasting redheaded
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: woodpecker as representation of whites. Eventually, the word woodpecker was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: inverted to become peckerwood in an attempt to hide the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: meaning an origin of the term. Later, peckerwood came to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be used in the North as well as a general
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: description for white people. Then, at some point peckerwood involve
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: peckerwood evolved into a term used to describe white prison inmates.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: In prison, slaying, a peckerwood or wood was a white
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: inmate who was willing to fight to avoid being raped
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: or robbed. Over time, white inmates appropriated the term peckerwood
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and made it a source of pride. I'd like to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: point out how very wrong you all are. I don't
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: think any mama looks down on her children and says,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud to have all these peckerwoods in my family.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But then again, I don't. I don't know, mister boots mama.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So let's go back a little bit on this story.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Paral authorities say the Peckerwoods is a white supremacist gang.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: The video highlights how dangerous the chase was, but police
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: say it could have been worse, as two handguns and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: ammunition were found inside the stolen pickup.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: We're just happy that the officer's okay.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Once again.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Booth had a warrant for a parole violation for unlawful
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: possession of a firearm by felon, according to Sigeville police,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: who say he's a documented gang member.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: I just know that he's a Peckerwood.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Peckerwood and that's his gang.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: That's his gang of physication. Is he's a Peckerwood Federal authorities.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine the amount of glee in the heart
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of Cigaville's public information officer right there saying, finally my
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: moment on TV is about to happen. I'm going to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: draw the curtain back on the Peckerwood gang. Is Is
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: this the worst gang name of all time?
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna say, are you drawing the curtain back on
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: the Peckerwood.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Or the Foreskin whatever? Thank you?
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's their maybe that's their baby brother gang, the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: for Skinners.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: That's why it's like being a wee blow.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: If your gang name is the for Skinners or the Peckerwoods,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: your weep high. So once again I asked a very
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: important question, is Pecker would the worst gang name of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: all time?
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, because let's go down the let's go and let's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: go down the gang names that we're all aware of. Okay,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: let me see me get me what. Okay, so we're
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all aware of the Crips, the bloods, MS, thirteen, Latin Kings,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the Chinese Triads. I don't really know if those exist.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I just don't that they're in movies. So I assume
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the Yakuza, east Side Locos. Thank you, thank you, Jerry.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's the extent of gang names that I'm
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: really familiar with, unless you would just include the generic
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Cosonostra Italian Mafia. I don't know if they have any
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: cool straight street names like the Broken Noses or the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: or the Tony two names is.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: But this is where Google disciples. Latin Kings, Latin.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Kings, Ye have got them. So that's where Google comes
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in hand off for all of us. Olds. Some other
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: East Asian gangs in the United States, the Bamboo Union
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that just sounds racist. The fourteen K Triad, the Bamboo Union,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Big Circle Gang, Black Dragons, Flying Dragons, Flying Dragons. Wasn't
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that the gang that was in Tropic Thunder. Weren't they
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the ones that kidnapped Simple Jack? Oh no wait, I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: think that was the Yeah, that was the Flaming Dragons.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: My bad.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: No disrespect to the Flying Dragons. I don't want to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: bringing about their ire. So yeah, Peckerwood, Yeah, I mean,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, does that really instill fear into the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: hearts of your rival gang members?
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: If someone yelled that out? And if you're in a
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: club and someone just yelled out Peckerlwood, would you be frightened?
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: People yells out like rolling thirty Crips' I'm leaving. Yeah, Peckerwood,
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I'm like, that sounds good, buddy.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's just a group of kids that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: are hanging out at the Dairy Queen after hours.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: It's like that scene in Guardians of the Galaxy where
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Rockets giving that guy crap.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: He's like, your name's Taser Face. Oh yeah, that's true.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You're thinking it's supposed to be this intimidating thing,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and I don't really think it is.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know any other worst gang names off the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: top of my head, but Peckwick's pretty bad.

• 11:00
  Speaker 1: not new to us inside the Treehouse, but it does
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: seem to be making headlines around the country. Why single
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: men aren't approaching women in person anymore? Guys say, I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: am so sick of this. In today's digital dating world,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: where single people would often rather meet a potential suitor online.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: One of the main complaints, especially from women, is that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: people rarely approach someone they're interested in anymore. Trey, You've
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: talked about this quite a bit on the show because
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: working in the bar industry for as long as you have,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: this is something that you've seen you've seen this trend
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: where guys just don't go up to women anymore. And
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: it's not necessarily for any one particular reason, is it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: I would say, if there was a prevailing reason, it's because, uh,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: for a while, you know, if you approached a woman
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: and said the wrong thing, you know, you were basically
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: accused of being creepy, of doing something untowards and just
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: you know what a lot of people considered a base
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: basic social and interaction became something that you know, you
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: would hear people say they're being threatened or they feel
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: threatened or this or that. So if people are like,
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: you know what, I'm kind of the don't disturb my piece. Fine,
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: you know that's uh, we'll just leave you alone.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And what you're describing, those are things that happened just
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in the moment at the time, in person, without the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: added element, which is also I think part of it
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: being shamed online for it. Like if you approach someone like, hey,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I just want to say, can I buy you a drink?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And then five minutes later you're going viral on Twitter
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and social media because you had the audacity to ask
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: someone to buy them a drink and they took offense
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to it or whatever reason that they think you absolutely
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: should never have done that, and now you're on black
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and thinking, all I did, thank you? She was cute.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Thinks well, I'm glad she showed her dragonness to me
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: immediately as opposed to waiting a year or so into
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a potential relationship. But I think that social media aspect
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of brutal online shaming plays into it. One North Carolina model, though,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: has her version. She says she hasn't been on a
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: date in almost a year, and she blames her good
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: looks for intimidating men and preventing them from striking up
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a conversation with her, she said, it's difficult being this hot.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Men think I'm too beautiful to date or worry that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I'll turn them down. Okay, first of all, all right,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: she's not entirely wrong. I mean, if you're a guy
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and you see a woman that is just ridiculously attractive,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you might think, yeah, she's out of my league. I
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: have no chance. But that's where there's two types of men.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: There's the guy that says, I'm not even going to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: waste my time. That's ridiculous. It's going to be embarrassing.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And then there are the Jerrys of the world, who's
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm going to shoot my shot, right, Jared,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Sorry you miss of the shots you don't take. Yeah,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it was true in college basketball when John Wooden said
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it to his UCLA basketball players, and it's true to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: players in general. Other women explained in a Reddit thread
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: they blame men for not knowing how to appropriately approach
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: women in the wild. One said, I think they can
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: approach women for non sexual conversation. Somehow these fools refuse
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to recognize that we are humans with whole lives that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: we could talk about without going straight to insert body
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: part and how that's attractive. If they can't have a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: respectful conversation, then please do not approach. And then someone
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: else said, the men who care about not making women
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable don't talk to us anymore because they think hello
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: is enough to upset us.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and it can. Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: There's four of us that are male inside the treehouse
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: right now, and in Unison we're all just shaking our
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: heads like yeah, yeah, I'm seeing Yeah, that's happened. Hm,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it's your fault. It's your fault. Ladies, Keeping in mind
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: there are a bunch of us that are creeps. However,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that's not all of us. And just because one creep
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: said hello doesn't mean every other guy that says hello
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: subsequently is also a creep. And sometimes you just got
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to let the creeps show that they're creeps and not
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: just assume.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say or or pickup lines like still
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: a thing, like you know, back in the day you
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: had you had your line, you had to go to line.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: I don't even know if that's still a thing.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Now you should find out because otherwise you're going to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: be single forever.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: Oh I don't I don't mind that.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I know you're actually you're actually being taken under Trey's
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: wing because now that like you're almost fifty years old
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and now you've got a dog, which is which is
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Trey's perfect peace situation. If if a woman comes along
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that can find a way into that blissful, harmonious life
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that Trey has built with Daisy the Chihuahua and Julius
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: his orange cat, then so be it. But he's not
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: gonna settle, and neither should you.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: Raj. I've got the dog, and Trey's got the dog.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: We're a beautiful gay couple, and that's.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: What you really are. I mean, all you gotta do
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: is just you know, just the thing is, though there's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: not a Trey sober, you're not going to have some
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: sort of drunken night of regret. So I mean, if
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you two end up scissoring, he's doing it intentionally.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: The walk of shame is just back through the living room.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's terrible what he did to me in there.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I think it was a whole level, a whole new
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: level of embarrassment. Though making both dogs.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Watch sounds like you got it wrong.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: But again, if it saves you the trouble of being
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: uh horrifically rejected and shamed on social media by a woman,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I you know what, I uh, your new relationship has
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: my total and heart felt blessing.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: I love you.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Just like any relationship, one side's really happy, the other
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: one's wildly disappointed.

• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a Nordstrom rack.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: Wow Yeah.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: He was arrested on Tuesday after he was captured on
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: security cams crouching near a woman and sniffing her rear
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: end in the women's section of the Burbank Empire Center
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: department store in Burbank, California. Plise said he was seen
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: trailing the innocent shopper around the store before sticking his
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: nose where it doesn't belong, a disturbing act He's already
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: been busted for multiple times. He's currently on active parole
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: for a series of loot offenses dating back to twenty
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: twenty one, when police said initially they responded to the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: retail chain following reports of a suspicious man lurking around
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the women's apparel section. He made national headlines in August
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three after a viral TikTok video showed
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: him sneaking up behind women at a Burbank Barnes and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Noble and sniffing their butts. He was also arrested later
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that month for peeping into a family home in Glendale,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and then he was released. And in these types of stories,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: when you see headlines that are shocking, especially when a
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: headline reads Cereal butt sniffer arrested again for sticking schnaz
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and woman's backside at Nordstrom rack. There's a little thing
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I do that I'm curious about and that's huh. I
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: wonder what this guy looks like. So let me now
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: share with you what the serial butt sniffer looks like,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: just in case you see him out in public. The uh,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the black gentleman uh would be really, really handsome if
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for the Shrek like ears protruding from the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: sides of his head.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying I'd accuse him more of being a
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: butt listener.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Hear your thoughts, just sticking his ears up to the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: butts and thinking, what do you have to tell me?
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Tell me your secrets? Oh, yeah, I hear them. Tell
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: me your tell me your deepest fears.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Me too.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I'm curious, what is your goal in life? Oh, that's
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: a that's a high goal. If you could just bend
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: over slightly, I wonder what it would sound like if
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, that's.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: Gross, so hot.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: I feel like he could be on a submarine just
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: put his ear to the ball and just hear sonar
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: from you know, a thousand miles away.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a one man sonar department. That would
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: be his nickname. He doesn't even need headphones.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: He's half bat.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: It's the new Batman from DCU.
• 22:40

  Speaker 1: on Tuesdays right here inside the Treehouse. This was an
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: unexpected headline. According to new research, we all have hemorrhoids.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do an informal study here and now,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: does anyone in the treehouse have hemorrhoids?
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: Right now? Show of hands?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: No Trey, no Raj no Jerry. Now have any of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: us inside the Treehouse ever had a hemorrhoid?
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Noop, Yeah, I've worked with one, literally or figuratively.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Jerry. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I mean,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I've I've figured it figuratively worked with a few of
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a few hemorrhoids. I mean, it's unavoidable in the world
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: of radio, but not literally. Okay, so none of us
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: currently have hemorrhoids. I will say that it was a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: it was an odd moment of adulthood when I realized
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the first time. I was like, Oh, I think I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: think that's what that is. Okay. Not everyone reacts so
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: well about it like I did. Others are more distraught
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: about it. H New York Magazine's website, The Cut, just
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: at an in depth feature titled everyone has Hemorrhoids Now.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: They talked to various doctors who are experts on all
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: things butts, including the chief of colon and rectal surgery
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: at Mount Sinai. Hemorrhoids have been on the rise for years,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and young people are dealing with them more and more.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: If they get bad enough, the only fix is a
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: very uncomfortable surgery. You can't avoid them, though. But they say,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: these are the main reasons for him for the hemorrhoid
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: epidemic that we're currently facing. So these are the four
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: reasons that, according to new research, we all have hemorrhoids.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Number One, we sit too much Sitting for too long
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: puts added pressure on the veins down there. It restricts
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: blood flow, and that's what causes hemorrhoids. Not moving around
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: enough can also make you constipated, which doesn't help. So
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the next time you're sitting for a long period of
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: time and your Apple Watch tells you, hey, as time
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: stand up, you should listen to it and not just
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: feel attacked. I'm basically talking to myself there. Number two,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: we sit on the toilet too long. A survey in
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one found seventy three percent of people and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: ninety three percent of people under the age of thirty
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: bring their phone in the bathroom with them. So that's
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: a big reason why sitting with your knees up is
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: even worse for hemorrhoids. So less time on the toilet
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: is better, ideally two minutes or less. I can't even
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: fathom two minutes or less on the on the toilet.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I haven't even had a chance to open up any
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: news apps and see what's going on in the world.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I'm barely logged in, let alone logging on.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't even be finished by then.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: Sure you can.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I take two minutes just to wipe yeah, thorough. I
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: am gonna get in there. I'm gonna get all of it.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it is half a roll that's.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: A you know, two to four minutes, that sounds.
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: You can do it. You can do a pooh in
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: four minutes? Sure, okay, like all of it?
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Are you saving some for later.
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: In case you need to finish the story?
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I like to be teased a little like I
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I don't let my butt
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: trick me. Okay, if if I feel like I'm done
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: in two to four minutes, I'm gonna sit there for
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: another five just to make sure. Because I've done that before,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: where I've got like, oh my god, I'm done. This
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: was faster than I thought I have. I have the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: whole afternoon free now, and then like an hour later,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, No, I was wrong, and there's more. Yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I get those two firs.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Sometimes, you know, you get get, you're you're done, you're
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: cleaning up, you're just about and then all of a sudden,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: there's that that push again.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: It's like, really the old ninja turn.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: I only get about ten minutes, though I have an
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: automatic like alarm system. You know, my my legs go
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: numb from the knees down. So yeah, I was going
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: to be done before that alarm system. I was hoping
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: that you had some sort of a spring that shot
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: you off the toilet that forced you to get up.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: Up, times up, tray. You're done in four minutes.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, are you like, like really pushing it hard getting
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: it out?
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, not straining, but you know, just get it done.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: I've never understood the real magic of sitting on the
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: toilet for extended periods of time. It's not so bad
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: in the position.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's only bad when your leg when your
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: legs get so asleep that then you can't stand up.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: You know, typically doesn't smell great in there. It's just like,
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: you know, get it over with.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So here's a couple more reasons why we
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: all have hemorhoids. Number three, we're not eating enough fiber.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: More fiber tend to equal less straining. It also equals
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: less wiping and less irritation.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: And then finally we're dehydrated not drinking and a fluids
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: slows down your digestion and makes you constipated, so more
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: straining on the commode. Uh, I'd like to plint. This
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: is the weird thing to me. I don't like forcing it.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Like I don't feel like like if I
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: don't have to go, I'm not just going to go
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: in there and just start pushing. Honestly, I like things
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to happen naturally down there, so that way you avoid
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: those types of situations with with with the with the hemorrhoids.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: So I don't even like pushing. That's part of the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: reason why I'm in there for a while, because I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: want to make it. I'm not going to force it.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: I mean, your body will tell you like we need
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: to go to the bathroom now, and you can kind
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: of also kind of guess when you're done. But like
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Jerry said, like you know, you might want to stay
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: for a couple of minutes and see if you're finished finished,
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: just to make sure. Yeah, what's uh, Forcing it I
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: think would be more detrimental. Yes, yeah, right.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I think that There have been very few times that
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I've had to force it and emphasis on the word
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: add okay like this it's like okay, well this this
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: it's it's I have to I'm without any other option here.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I'm past the point of no return.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: So what was the situation where you had to force it?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: It got stuck, gravity stopped desisting. So what had happened
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: was I had I was what had.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: You put up there?
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Nothing?
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: No?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Nothing. I was trying a cilium husk, a celium husk
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: supplement to increase my fiber, and I guess it was
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: too much, so it made things extra.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: Dry, not enough. That's what it sounds like. You're getting punished.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, it felt like it, doesn't it always.

• 32:06
  Speaker 1: twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Jason Momoa
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: turns forty six today, known for a number of things.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Cal Drago on Game of Thrones was probably his big
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: splash to fame. Then he was Aquaman and he did
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: actually accomplish the near impossible. They made Aquaman kind of
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: cool because at the end of the day, we all
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: just kind of assumed that he screws fish. At least
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: in Aquaman, they made the fish pretty sexy. So Jason
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Momoa turns forty six. He was also on Stargate Atlantis
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and in the new Minecraft movie, which I don't know
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: where it stands on the box office list, but I
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: think that movie was doing crazy box office numbers because
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I guess young guys just love Minecraft so much. They
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: were destroying movie theaters with all sorts of messes, popcorn, soda,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: nachos like. I saw videos online of the aftermath of
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Minecraft movie theaters, and it was horrible what these kids
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: are doing to the movie theater. And I have no
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: idea why. The only person I can think to ask
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: right now that's going to know anything about Minecraft is Jerry. Jerry,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: do you know why they were destroying these theaters because
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: they were so happy at the Minecraft movie.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know if the performance necessarily reflects the movie itself.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: I am a huge Minecraft fan. I've been playing it
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: for ten years, and I'm here to tell you that
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: movie is not good. So maybe that's why the place
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: was getting destroyed. Is because they paid their money. They
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: were excited, got a movie with Jack, you know, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: it's Minecraft, and then this is what they presented us.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And that was my other question was that all the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: buzz before that movie came out was that it was
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: kind of terrible, and then based on the box office numbers,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, maybe that the critics just don't get
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: it because they're not you know, young guys who've played Minecraft,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: or guys that have played Minecraft for very long stretches
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: of time, and they just don't get it. But you're saying,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: you saw it, you've been you've been a minecrafter and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: it was terrible. So I've I've I'm completely out of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: my depth on this one.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: Jason Momoa also has a very good series on Apple
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: called c.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: No Wonder You Love It. I took a moment, but
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: that was good. Thank you very much. Yes you're listening.

  Speaker 1: Treehouse on Air. All right, one last little bit here
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: inside the Treehouse today, and that is this. A pastor
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: has been charged with one million dollars of fraud after
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: God told him to sell crypto and spend it on vacations.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: That is a religion I can get behind. There's the
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: way the Lord he said he missed. A pastor and
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: his wife from Denver were arrested for running a crypto
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: scam where they solicited three point four million dollars from friends.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: They used the money to do home renovations and take vacations.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Of course, oh you people, I swear.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, which just means he just didn't. I mean,
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: that's what so many of these televangelists do. He just
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: clearly didn't, you know, follow the model, which is they
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: take money from people and they spend it on planes
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: and vacations and lavish, lavish lifestyle. Yeah, and go look
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: at Kenneth Copeland. Oh yeah, that's.
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: It.
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: He has been you know, he's been raising money for
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: a you know, a whole like community he was going
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: to build, like I forgot what it's called, you know, like.
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: Copland at uh.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Copeland Land, that's probably what it was.
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: You know, and they've never you know, built a damn thing.
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I think, well, that's not entirely his fault. Trey Trends
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: keep changing. I mean, at one point it was marble countertops,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: then it was quartz, and he it's hard to keep
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: up white cabinets, shaker cabinets. Yeah, open concept versus. The
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: problem is, as soon as they said open concept, a
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: bunch of the people that gave money said that's not
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: what we want in this community.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Who realized.
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: That, said he lost his house in the tornado.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: There was a there was a pastor here, that's the
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: mega church guy.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Jerry, you're gonna have to be more specific. Yeah, yeah,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: which one, Yeah, especially if you're talking about in Plano
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: where all the churches are mega.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: I mean he like he did like a flyover with
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: Channel eight or something like that where he's like, this
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: is you know, everything's destroyed and it was not even
