• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know that the holidays for the three
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of us are relative. Yeah, you know how much I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: love to ask you guys questions, especially when they're off
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the wall, especially at the beginning of a show, when
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I can really catch you off guard. So I'm gonna
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with treehouse tradition and do just that
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: right now. Are either of you familiar with crotch cocaine?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I went to Texas State, so we.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Just didn't have a name for it yet.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: That's the only way we knew how to do it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So if you are not familiar with crotch cocaine, I'm
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: gonna hip you to it all right, all right, So
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: here we go, and Trey as a bartender in uptown
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Dallas for many, many years, you're familiar with the cocaine.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I have witnessed my fair share of blizzards.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of skin that happens in Los Angeles
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So Caroline Cochrane, who is from Newcastle, United Kingdom, England,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: as they say, Caroline Cochlan from Newcastle, England, was being
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: detained by police for breaching the peace when she rummaged
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: around her crotch to pull out drugs before throwing them
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: away in full view of police officers. Those officers then
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: recovered the drugs, which were found to be cocaine. The
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: forty nine year old grandma later referred to her crotch
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: cocaine as her poison. The ballsy Grandma was due for
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: her court appearance last Wednesday. However, she was a no
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: show and a warrant was issued for her arrest. Within
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours, Caroline the crotch Cocaine Lady had been
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: detained and appeared in custody to plead guilty to the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: possession of a Class A narcotic.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Now it was she did she have it in her huha.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Was she storing it there or was this a new
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: delivery method.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: On October twenty ninth of this year, when Miss Cochrane,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: when police showed up, they found Cochrane, the grandmother, to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: be in a heightened state. Lawyer the prosecutor, I believe, continued,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: she was arrested for a breach of the peace. When
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: officers put handcuffs on her, they noticed she tensed up
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: one hand and put one hand down her pants and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: pulled out several packets of white palace her and threw
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: them across the road, right in front of the police officers.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: They can see it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: They're right there, several packets, which in.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: The treehouse means seven.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And one of these days will we'll let you know
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: exactly why several means seven, and that will happen someday
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: for those that know, you know, but those that don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you'll soon find out.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I just want to know what her street value was.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Does it lessen it?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah? Because it was in the in the cave.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would think you'd want to keep it
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in a dry place.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: You know, she's a grandma.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe, but it does say that on tomato Tomato. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: mean all the drugs in my house, which are you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: over the counter things, and even the occasional like two
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: or three year old prescription bottle. I'll say, please, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: store in a cool dry place.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And that cool dry place is not England. No, no, yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: okay that is.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So that actually begs an interesting question. What's drier England
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: or this granny cooter or is it just wet on
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: wet or is that just known as an English closet?
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Either way really grows.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's gotta be odd.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: If you're a guy about to go down on her
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and she hands you a little straw, that's gonna be confusing.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I've never done a key bump out of a vagina before.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the brother you ain't lived.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a Hollywood type.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: You would think I just you know, just just going
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: down there and just getting high at the same time.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I look at it this way. All the years you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: spent living in Los Angeles, RAJ, and you can't say
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you did that at least once. I don't think you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: did that city proper.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I didn't spend a lot of time with Sean Penn,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: so he's known for snorting coke off of different off
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: of various places.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Gotcha.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: The English court heard that the Cochrane the Crouch cocaine
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: lady had numerous offenses on her record, including two for
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: drug possession. Her defending attorney, though, said that the crotch
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: cocaine was for her own personal use. He said, she's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a single grandmother. Okay, that's new to me. I've never
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: heard of single mother. I've heard of, but not a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: single grandmother.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Must be flexible.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: When asked why she takes cocaine, she said, well, everyone
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: has got their poison.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: That's a very white defense. No offense to you guys,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: But I'm just saying it's like, you know what I'm taking.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: We all have our vices. Yes, yours is inside of you,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: like I don't know, is okay?
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Is that technically possession?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's I think that's the ultimate in possession.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: That's like deep possession.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I just I mean, if it's not in your hands,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: oh well, I guess it could be.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Well, it was in her hands when she pulled it
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: out and then threw it into the field trying to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: deter the police officers. But the other thing you have
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to ask also it's like, okay, well would you want that?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Would you want crotch cocaine?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Would you Is that something you would look at and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: go like yeah, I want that up my nose. Knowing
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: where it's been, I.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Would just say if that was my dealer, well that
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: is I mean she's putting that in a very.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Secure, I don't yeah, secure place.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's that's taking home delivery to
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: another level.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I also think that I feel like we're touching on
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: sort of like the white trash version of the Twelve
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Days of Christmas, because earlier this year we talked about
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: toilet wine followed my ditch gin, and now we've got
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: crotch cocaine. I mean, I think we all know what
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the swans are swimming in, and now we know why
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: those ladies are dancing. It's gonna be real sad though.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: What happens to those damn turtle doves?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: That poor partrait in a pear tree.
• 8:59

• 11:19
  Speaker 1: good news right now back inside the treehouse is that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: not a single one of us, Me, Trey, I'm sorry,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: me Dan, and then Trey and then U Raj none
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of us are bald. And it seems extremely surprising to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: me that you can have three guys pretty close in age,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: all over forty, all around fifty, and not a single
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: one of us is bald. I think I'm starting to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: get a little bit of like the little crown thing
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: on the back of my head. It's starting to thin some.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But otherwise we all have full heads of hair, so
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I consider ourselves very fortunate.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm well, you can stop.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, like I saw that when I was like
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: thirty five ish thirty eight.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: The crown.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the lady that that cuts my hair was like,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: you know, you're starting to thin, so you can stop that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Now if you want to, and I did. I did
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the the rogue and all that stuff, and it just
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: kind of kind of worked. I've never had to keep
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: up with it. They said, if you stop using it,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: it'll fall out. I don't know why mine did not.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: But sounds like a good sales tactic.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but mine didn't.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I do the l ly scene, I do the folic
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: acid and all that stuff, like the vitamins in the morning.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: So I think if it helps, if the hair keeps
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: stinning in the back of my head, you know. Yeah,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: like the way it kind of is, I'm just gonna
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna totally lean into it and do nothing.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I think instead, I'm just gonna see if I can
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: go on eBay and find that ron pull peel spray
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: hair in a can and you know, right back there.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I think. I think that sounds like fun.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: You're just gonna set it and forget it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Pretty much.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: A lot of times, the thinning in the on the crown,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: like for you, Dan, can be from excessive hat wearing.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Interesting, I really don't even wear that many hats anymore
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: like you used to. I used to, Yeah, but I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: mean I don't, And honestly, most of the times when
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I when I wear hats now, they're usually backwards because
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and I'll have people say this, but I've had this.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I've had people say this to me before. It's like,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: especially if I was at a bar and I would
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: have an older guy say, you know, those heads are
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: good of their backwards and I said, I'm sorry, is
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the sun shining inside this bar? And then he looked
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: up and looked around. He's like a good point. I'm like, yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I know it is. It's like I'm inside, the hat
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't need to be forward. If if I'm outside and
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the sun's my eyes, then all the hat will be
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: is in its proper position.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: But other yea, But do you.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Do the sunglasses like on the hat or like the
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: thing like the baseball players do where they put it
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: behind there like oh like yeah.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Where they attached the glasses on the back of their neck. Yeah, no,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I get the I have like the little string that
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: goes around the frame of the glasses and they just
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: hang off my off my mouth.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Oh so you old people glasses.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: It's not old people glasses.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: They're there.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like the fishing things. So you just
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: take them off and they dangle around your neck.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Like how old people have their glasses, because I seem
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: like the young kids, like when you like when you
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: used to be young.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, I think you used to put it like back
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: here or like.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I never I never put them back there. If I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: ever put them on the back of my neck, that
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: was out of necessity because I don't like that because
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: then it makes it look like there's a face back there,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and that's weird.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I I'd never heard the hat thing. I've worn
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: a hat my whole life. I know that balding is
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: a sign of excessive testosterone.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: So I've heard that, and based on my uh low
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: testosterol numbers over the years, it ain't that.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Actually, it's a more to do with estrogen. Like I've
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: been on Propecia for twenty five years. I started losing
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: my hair when I was about twenty five.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And oh wow, so your hair is a performance enhanced cheater. Yes, no,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: shame good on you. The reason why I bring up
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the bald thing is because if you are bald and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: someone calls you bald at work, there may be a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: new legal precedent for you to sue their ass hm
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: for sexual harassment.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, yeah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: It's about to get stupid in here. In twenty nineteen,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: an electrician named Tony Finn accused his boss in the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: United Kingdom at the British Bun Company, of sexual harassment
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: after being called and I quote, a stupid bit bald.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: A panel of judges, all bald men, ruled that the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: term bald is inherently linked to gender, making the remark
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a violation of equity laws. The judgment, which took four
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: years to finalize, could result in compensation for Finn. So
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: let that sink in. This guy in England at work,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: by his supervisor, was called a stupid bald and the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: company got sued for sexual harassment, not for calling him stupid,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: not for calling him a but instead because he's bald.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Notice how Trey has no problem with any of this.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Well, again, you go to the British Australian use of
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that word and that can be endearing.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Maybe it was, you know.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Maybe he gave a gift to the boss and he's like, oh,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: thank you, stupid bald.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe maybe you know he wanted a blank bump.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I didn't know you weren't in the UK. Trey I
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: hadn't known me.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: He made the claim against the British Bun Company, which
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: is another issue. I haven't even looked up that company,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: but it's it's in England and apparently they make buns
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and I've I've got questions that I don't want the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: answers to. I just I like thinking what I'm thinking
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in my head and not getting any confirmation on it whatsoever.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to continue thinking what I want to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: think there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: He said he was a victim of sexual harassment after
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: comments are made about his baldness, including being called a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: stupid bald by his supervisor during an argument. His supervisor
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: also threatened to deck him, saying the encounter. The victim
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: said the encounter left him fearful for my personal safety.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm confused as far as the how we
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: got to sexual harass. I mean it for anything you
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: said of they said it was, you know, gender discrimination. Okay,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, still stupid, but at least in the context
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: that seems it would make more sense. But there doesn't
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: seem like there's a lot of you know, anything sexual
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: about this.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: The three person panels said the remark crossed the line
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and dismissed an argument that the comment was not sexist
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: because women can be bald too. The judgment said there
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: was a connection between the word bald and the protected
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: characteristic of sex, noting that it is much more prevalent
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: in men than women. The panel, led by Judge Jonathan Bryan,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: who's bald, added, we find it inherently related to sex.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I promise you, if they can find the
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: ghost of Shinead O'Connor, she would tell them no that
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that that is not just, you know, based on gender,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: because especially after the tearing up the picture of the
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: pope thing, I promise you she got called it a lot.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Dance.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to the butt stuff she did. She's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the one that brought it up. She's the one that
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: promoted it. She was the one that uh said to her,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: die don't. I don't remember her having butt stuff.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: I don't remember her having a line of butt toys.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: She never had the chance, tray she died too young.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: I mean that cocaine.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Ye, well, none of us knew that. You know, the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: real subject of nothing compares to you. She was singing
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: it to a butt pluck.

• 20:33
  Speaker 1: inside the Treehouse now, Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and Raj Sharma. Are you a premature decorator? Honest to god?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I asked these questions mainly just because I like to
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: see Raj's response to them. But I mean it, Are
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you a premature decorator? And if so, to decoration premature
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: going to but I'm gonna do both for you.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Premature decorating meaning we're in the We're in the throngs
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of the holiday season, right You've got it started with Halloween,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: then it goes through Thanksgiving and then through you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: there's Hanikka, Christmas Kwansa, I guess kind of counts as well.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: The New Year's all that stuff, the the quote unquote
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: holiday season. And by premature decorator, I mean, are you
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving? Because some people see that
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: as ooh, that's too soon. Like growing up in our family,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: we didn't start decorating for Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: So the Friday, the next day after Thanksgiving in our
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: house was okay, we're bringing out all the decorations, We're
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: putting up the tree, and that's the day we would
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: do all the decorating. But now people, and I don't
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: know if it's from the COVID years or what, from
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: people leaving up their Christmas trees into like March and beyond.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Early Christmas decorating is now a thing to where people
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: just kind of embrace it. Basically as soon as Halloween
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: is over, they just start throwing up the Christmas stuff,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you know, and judgment be damned.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Well it goes It goes back to one of my
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: original points of we were I don't know if this
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: was during the.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Pleasure or what. The Thanksgiving isn't as big of a
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: deal as it used to be.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: But no, yeah, definitely not in my in my house, Uh,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: it wasn't a big deal. And I was always offended
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: every year when they did the Thanksgiving uh play in
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: in elementary school, I always knew which role I was
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: going to get. I was, I was passed, I was never.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I just always I just wanted to be a pilgrim.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: I just wanted the hat.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to hat with the buckle.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Instead I got feathers and moccasins.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: That's what I got.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: But then you went to Hollywood and they turned you
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: into a terrorist. Tunes to me like elementary school just
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: prepared you for adulthood.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: For job placement.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty much.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I ask about the premature decorating because psychologists have now
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: weighed in. They suggest that decorating for Christmas early can
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: boost happiness, offering comfort and rekindling warm childhood emotions. I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: will freely admit the reason why I love Christmas as
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: much as I do isn't because of birthday, baby Jesus
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. It's because it's some
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of my happiest memories as a child. It's almost like
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: there was a moratorium on family fighting and abuse during
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the holidays at least for a little bit. And Christmas
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: was fun and it was magical, and the family felt
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: good and close and joy and happiness and all that.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: That's why I love christ Was to the days, because
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I have those warm and fuzzies from childhood.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: That's very sweet.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Man. My dad told me that Santa was too busy.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: He was a very busy man, and he couldn't get
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: to our house, even though everybody on either side of
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: us and across the street apparently he had visited, and
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: he said my dad said, he called and said he
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: couldn't make it, and to take me to Toys r US.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Honestly, it's nice that your dad even went that far. Yeah,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, but it's still I.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Mean, we were in the parking lot. I was eight,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: and I just looked at him and go, He's not real,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: is he? And he goes, okay, that was it.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: That was I could have just told you that Santa
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: was Jeffrey the Giraffe.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: He might as well. It was like he told me
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: to get you some nerve.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I'm like that.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: He's not real.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: A study in the Journal of Environmental Psychology supports this,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: noting that holiday decorations spread a sense of friendliness and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: togetherness among neighbors. Embracing early decorations extends the festive excitement,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: creating a cheerful atmosphere that promotes well being in a
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: stress filled world. So if you are a premature decorator,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I got embrace it because chances are you're just a
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: little bit happier than everybody else. Also, you probably don't
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: give a flying what anybody else thinks. So pat's off
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to you there.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, Trey, you look very judging on this. I can
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: see your I can see your hamster wheel spinning with
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a little Santa hat on.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I've you know, so when back in your days, when
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: you were like working at kV I L and they
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: started playing Christmas music, you felt a sense of joy?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, that that was the dark ages of
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Christmas in my life. I was, uh uh for the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: least you. That's that's how I felt about that. There.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: It took me years from doing those Christmas specials at
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Avil in Dallas. We're keep in mind that was back
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: in like two thousand to two thousand and two. The
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Christmas special was only for like twenty four or forty
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: eight hours of all Christmas music. Then it went back
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to normal. Nowadays, radio stations start playing Christmas music, you know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: November one. Some may even go before Halloween. Now I
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: don't know, because some people are just crazy. But because
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: of the two years that I spent on Christmas duty
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: at KVIL, it took me a solid fifteen years before
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I could listen to Christmas music again.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Gotcha?
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, So maybe the situation overseas and like all the
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: conflicts is because they don't have.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Premature decorating.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Is that maybe that would solve all the issues. It might.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: According to psychologists, premature decorators are happier than everybody else.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: So maybe if Putin would just put up a Christmas tree,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: this would all be a nicer planet.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: That's what we're gonna do that. I'm gonna next year.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going to the border of Indian Pakistan.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And line it with Christmas trees. If you line it
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: with crucifixes, it make turn ugly. We'll be careful casual
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: listening to the what's that not here? What you say? Oh,

  Speaker 1: All right. It is time four one of our new

  Speaker 1: features here inside the Treehouse, a little game we called

  Speaker 1: Believe it or Not. So, Trey Raj, are you ready
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: to play Believe it or Not? Here inside the Treehouse?
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I am?
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: You bet you that.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Today's subject of Believe it or Not is Canada has
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: introduced an unhappiness leave for workers. Believe it or not?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Canada has introduced an unhappiness leave for workers. Do you
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: believe it or not? Trey will start with you yes
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: or no?
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: Do you believe it or not? Yeah?
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: For a country that had to pass a law that
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: said because they say I'm sorry so much that can't
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: be considered a confession. Yes, I'm gonna go with I
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: believe it all right?
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: And Raj, do you believe.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: It or not? Yes, I have very I have a
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: lot of Canadian friends and they will You can punch
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: them in the face and they'll apologize to you. Uh so,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Uh I find an unhappiness leave to be one hundred percent.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: You are are both wrong. Unhappiness leave is real for workers,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: but not in Canada, but surprise, surprise, in communist China. Yeah,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: that's why I couldn't do believe it or not by
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: saying do you believe China has introduced an unhappiness leave
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: for workers? Because I don't think there's any way you
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: would have you would have bought into that.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Those kids are going on striking until they get a
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: little bit more cotton candy.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: At lunchtime with the TMU factory is going to get real.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: One point seven billion people on PTO right now.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: A Chinese company has introduced an unhappy leave policy, allowing
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: employees up to ten days off if they aren't in
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: a good mood. That's on top of sick leave. The
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: policy is raised for promoting mental health and work life balance,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and was created by its founder to combat long working
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: hours and improve morale. Just the fact that this is
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: coming from a Chinese company is truly astounding.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well the mother doesn't say let you be unhappy,
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: but you know.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're known for boosting morale.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: For Yeah, like you remember the guy that stood in
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: front of the tank, Yeah, he was on unhappiness leave.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Walmart has nets around the building. I don't know if
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: you know this. They have nets around the building so
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: you can't commit suicide. It just catches you and sends
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: you back to work.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Jesus.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Well, like, I mean, it's uh, I mean, it's it's
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: obviously it seems silly that that China would be the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: last country that would have a company that wouldn't, you know,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: implement unhappiness. The only thing is just because you take
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the unhappiness leave doesn't mean you're going home. I mean
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: it's common, it's China. You may just end up in
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a camp.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go home. No, you're not not today, did he?

• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Didn't do anything that any other you know, girls were
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that most girls at ut or whatever didn't do. It's
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: just that their father was president.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they just had secret server. That's what I was protection.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: The difference was is that the person holding their bong
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: was a secret service.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I just enjoyed the try to pass off the I'm
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: twenty one fake ID with the secret service right behind you,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: the Indian.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: The guy who on the liquor throws Indian.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: He's like, I don't think so, I'm.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Not dying it. Happy birthday to the to the Bush Twins.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: He played Turtle on HBO's Entourage. Jerry Ferrara turns forty five.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Also turning forty five, Joel Kinneman. He was RoboCop in
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the New RoboCop movie. He was also in AMC's The Killing,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: and he was Rick Flagg in the two Suicide Squad movies.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Joel Kinneman forty five Today. Did anyone see the RoboCop remake?
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: You did.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: All right, Yeah I did.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Did Hollywood send you a thank you letter?
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: A log with a screener? Yeah, they said, you know what,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: you've done so much for us? Just here, this one's
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: on us. I did. I watched that movie and and
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: it was it was kind of ridiculous. So keep in mind,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the original Robo Cop was over the top, it was
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: meant to be. It was ridiculous. But in this one,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: when he gets instead of getting shot to pieces like
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: in the original RoboCop, in the New Robo Cop, he
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: gets blown up next to his car. So all that's
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: basically left is like it's and then I'm sorry, but
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: this is funny. You can just go look up RoboCop
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: remake and then you can see his his physical remains
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: on a Google image search. It's basically like a chunk
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: of his face and like like an artery going down
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: and then like a chunk of pancreas and that's like
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: all that was left. That's what they built, uh the
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: machine around, and it showed it in the film. I'm like,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: this is just dumb. The to say that that guy
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: was alive and.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: You watched.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: That. That was the part that was unbelievable.
• 40:11

• 41:41
  Speaker 1: thing to take care of here inside the treehouse today,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: and that is is a banana worth six point two
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: million dollars? Well, I guess the short answer would be,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: if someone's willing to pay it, then yes. But to
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: the rest of us that don't have that kind of
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: stupid amount of money, no, that's just really, really dumb.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: That's the world we live in. Because I don't know
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: if you guys remember this, but all the way back
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, a banana duct tape to a wall
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: sold for one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, there was
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: a social media uproar, an age old debate about the
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: meaning of art ensued. It was actually titled Comedian is
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: the art piece by Marizio Catalan. It was his viral
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: creation back in twenty nineteen and originally sold for one
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: hundred twenty thousand dollars just a banana duct tape to
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: a white canvas. Well, there have now been three additions.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Let me start over one of the artworks. Three Editions
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: smashed estimates to sell at Sotheby's in New York last
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: week four six point two four million dollars.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah wow for a banana.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Not just any banana, but a banana duct tape to
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: a white canvas. So the original sold for one hundred
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars in twenty nineteen, and then Maurzio Catalan's
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: viral creation title Comedian proved a sound investment for one collector.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: One of the artworks Three Editions smashed estimates to sell
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: for six point twenty four million dollars at a Sotheby's
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: auction in New York last week. The auction house had
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: estimated the work would go for between one and one
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: and a half million dollars, and bidding began at eight
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: The winner of the new banana is Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Justin's son. He outbid six rivals to require the piece,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: later announcing he would eat the banana as part of
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the experience. So imagine being so rich you buy a
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: banana that's considered art at six point twenty four million dollars,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and then you probably eat it.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you said that because I was just
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: about to say, you know, whitey mcwhite.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: So was I.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: I was like, what's the white dude's name? And then
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: you said Justin. I was like, we're on our way.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: And then you gave him an Asian last name. I
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: was like, of course he.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Ate its name.
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: That's his name.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: It's a Chinese crypto bro.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like like we had a story
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know two three weeks ago about how you know,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: the thing about your monkey typewriter.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: You know, end of time.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't you come up with the works of Shakespeare,
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: but they can come up with a million dollar art.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: A monkey and a duct tape artist.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that actually makes sense. You put a monkey in
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: a room with a banana and some duct tape and
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, you got a seven figure art piece.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: Again, the same thing. I was like, oh, Tray, just
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: say white people and then you started to nobody.
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: It just did.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: It.
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: They were a white person thought of it.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, a white person made the canvas.
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: The artist's name is Marizzio Catalan.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah he's still white. I don't care where you put him.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: He's still a white dude with time on his hands and.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: I'm look him up here more cattle man. Let's see here.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Six point four million dollars. His parents took unhappy leave,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: is what they did.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it appears that he is a white dude.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Does he kind of look like Trey because they all
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: do in my head.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: I just see him driving an alpha Romeo with a sidekick.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: And it's actually Clyde the Orangutang doing the art, and
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: then this guy's just taking the credit for it and
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: all the cash.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: But they're both smoking and drinking and coffee.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: The Italian version of bj the Bear is really entertaining.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Just a monkey looking up the window or in the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: sidecar of a motorcycle looking at you going to job.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: They'll never understand the art, never.
