Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
0:28
Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
0:32
Speaker 1: Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Today Wednesday, March nineteenth, twenty
0:38
Speaker 1: twenty five. You have made it to hump Day. Trey,
0:42
Speaker 1: You've already got that look on your face.
0:44
Speaker 2: It's a.
0:47
Speaker 3: It's my favorite, it's my least favorite face.
0:54
Speaker 4: I'm just wondering what the theme of today is going
0:56
Speaker 4: to be.
0:57
Speaker 1: Well, I'm wondering that too, because apparently it's not all
0:59
Speaker 1: we intentional. Sometimes it just kind of happens by accident,
1:05
Speaker 1: like truck stops. I mean, we're already here though, as
1:16
Speaker 1: well as we'll finish anyway. Today is Wednesday, March nineteen,
1:20
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Now I'm regretting having referred to today
1:23
Speaker 1: as hump Day, but too late. There is something I
1:27
Speaker 1: don't know about, any sort of theme that will run
1:29
Speaker 1: through today's show. But I know that I wanted to
1:33
Speaker 1: start with this particular topic because you, Trey and Raj
1:39
Speaker 1: are both frat bros. You've you've not been you know,
1:43
Speaker 1: in college for quite some time, but you know, you
1:46
Speaker 1: guys had wonderful experiences in your respective fraternities in college, right,
1:53
Speaker 1: Trey at ut you were a what I was a
1:57
Speaker 1: fight out fight out and raj At at the time
2:01
Speaker 1: Southwest Texas now Texas State.
2:03
Speaker 3: You were a Pike.
2:07
Speaker 1: Is there any sort of animosity between your two fraternities
2:10
Speaker 1: or does it not really matter if.
2:11
Speaker 2: It's from campus to campus?
2:14
Speaker 3: No?
2:14
Speaker 5: I yeah, I think there's every campus is different, and
2:19
Speaker 5: yeah they're.
2:22
Speaker 4: On specific campuses.
2:24
Speaker 5: Some groups won't like other groups, but in general, I
2:26
Speaker 5: don't think there's there's not a big rivalry, or at
2:30
Speaker 5: least at least not not at Texas. I mean, everyone
2:35
Speaker 5: was just out there to get drunk and have fun
2:37
Speaker 5: and try to try to make it through school. One
2:41
Speaker 5: of my best friends as a fight out. But at
2:43
Speaker 5: Texas State, Sigma Nu was our rivalry.
2:48
Speaker 6: They were gone for quite quite some time, but they
2:50
Speaker 6: came back and they tried to reignite this rivalry for
2:52
Speaker 6: no reason. But uh, before they did leave campus, their
2:56
Speaker 6: house burned down and we ordered.
2:58
Speaker 3: Pizzas to their house. Then we all sat on the
3:01
Speaker 3: curb and watched it burn down.
3:04
Speaker 2: You missed, You missed an opportunity for marshmallows.
3:08
Speaker 3: We should have got smores. You're right, marshmallows all of it.
3:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was a vice president, so I just ordered
3:14
Speaker 6: pizzas to there.
3:16
Speaker 1: It's probably the safe bet. Well, not all fraternities play
3:19
Speaker 1: it safe, especially when it comes to hazing the pledges.
3:24
Speaker 3: Today.
3:24
Speaker 1: I'm speaking specifically about a UCF fraternity. No look, let
3:31
Speaker 1: me preface this by saying, if this is true, it
3:34
Speaker 1: is a horrible crime, but it also makes for a
3:38
Speaker 1: pretty funny headline. A University of Central Florida fraternity is
3:42
Speaker 1: in trouble for a hazing incident, which allegedly involved running
3:46
Speaker 1: over pledges with a car.
3:51
Speaker 2: I knew you'd laugh at that rash.
3:53
Speaker 3: I knew it.
3:53
Speaker 2: That story's for you. You love.
3:56
Speaker 1: You love when people get hurt, hurt. You especially love
4:03
Speaker 1: when people get hurt when it's their own fault. Now,
4:06
Speaker 1: in this situation, it's not entirely the fault of the
4:09
Speaker 1: pledges that they got run over by a car. However,
4:13
Speaker 1: if you're pledging, if you're pledging a fraternity and one
4:19
Speaker 1: of the guys says hang on and he comes back
4:21
Speaker 1: with a car, I kind of feel like there's a
4:24
Speaker 1: little bit of responsibility that needs to.
4:27
Speaker 2: Fall on your shoulders.
4:28
Speaker 3: Oh my lord.
4:30
Speaker 2: Along with the Defenders fraternity.
4:40
Speaker 3: You can see it. I can see it in my head.
4:42
Speaker 2: That's fraternity.
4:44
Speaker 1: Brothers at Sigma Kai allegedly hit pledges with a car
4:49
Speaker 1: as part of a hazing ritual now under investigation by
4:52
Speaker 1: the University of Central Florida. A sorority member whose house
4:57
Speaker 1: is next door to Sigma Kaye's told police she heard yelling,
5:00
Speaker 1: saw a car strike a young man, and then heard
5:03
Speaker 1: someone shouting, help my bones, my bones, they're broken. I
5:10
Speaker 1: would have preferred it if she heard my legs, my legs.
5:13
Speaker 1: I can't feel my legs, but I'll take what we
5:15
Speaker 1: can get. UF confirmed on Friday that it is investigating
5:23
Speaker 1: allegations of hazing at Sigma Kai and Delta Upsalon. Both
5:27
Speaker 1: have been suspended by the university and their national organizations
5:30
Speaker 1: while the investigations of running over pledges with cars are underway. Okay,
5:37
Speaker 1: look now, you guys were both in fraternities at any
5:43
Speaker 1: point during the pledge process. Did you ever think, hey,
5:46
Speaker 1: you know what these pledges need. Yeah, let's really test
5:53
Speaker 1: their loyalty here.
5:55
Speaker 4: Pussy was an F two to fifty.
5:59
Speaker 3: Pussy was a text edition.
6:05
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever win in your in your in
6:07
Speaker 1: your I'm sure, your hazing traditions at your respective fraternities
6:11
Speaker 1: in college were very grand, but were any of them
6:14
Speaker 1: at their core deadly?
6:18
Speaker 3: Yes, but no one died.
6:21
Speaker 6: So but no, I mean they would read the hazing laws,
6:26
Speaker 6: and Texas State is in Hayes County, so they would
6:29
Speaker 6: read the hazing laws and then set it on fire
6:31
Speaker 6: and say welcome to Hayes County.
6:33
Speaker 3: And so that's when the hazing would start.
6:34
Speaker 6: But I mean nothing to the point where somebody got.
6:38
Speaker 2: It all right with all the pledges to line up
6:41
Speaker 2: on the lawn and.
6:42
Speaker 3: Don't move when they lined you up in the driveway.
6:47
Speaker 3: There's a problem.
6:51
Speaker 4: I mean, that's up the way.
6:53
Speaker 5: We were forced to run neked around the fraternity house,
6:55
Speaker 5: but not being followed by it by a truck.
7:01
Speaker 1: Just imagine what the what the horrible situation that could
7:04
Speaker 1: unfold the Texas Tech or they just line them up
7:06
Speaker 1: at a firing squad. So you had to go streaking
7:13
Speaker 1: as part of your hazing tray.
7:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, like if you got shut out playing a game
7:18
Speaker 5: of basketball, uh you Uh, the punishment was running around
7:23
Speaker 5: the house naked and uh of course there were yeah,
7:26
Speaker 5: people in shorties all around, so it wasn't a It
7:30
Speaker 5: wasn't a fun deal, but again there was.
7:37
Speaker 4: You were not being chased by a motorized vehicle.
7:40
Speaker 3: Your insurance didn't go up.
7:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, eternity insurance.
7:51
Speaker 3: I think that's actually a thing.
7:54
Speaker 4: It is a thing.
7:55
Speaker 5: And at one point it was harder to ensure a
7:57
Speaker 5: fraternity that it was a level four or biohazard viral
8:02
Speaker 5: research center.
8:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, which was also my fraternity house.
8:11
Speaker 3: If you ever went to the Pike House in Texas State,
8:14
Speaker 3: that was the level four. For sure, everyone's rates went up.
8:23
Speaker 3: We were in good hands.
8:35
Speaker 7: You're in the treehouse.

9:24

9:31
Speaker 9: wanting to definitely you know, beef that up and start
9:35
Speaker 9: giving back to the foundation. And it's unfortunately, this is
9:38
Speaker 9: a foundation nobody wants to have to donate to, but
9:41
Speaker 9: it's the real world is that these things do happen,
9:44
Speaker 9: and it's the type of foundation that you don't want around,

9:53
Speaker 9: next couple of months, you know, a portion of all
9:56

Speaker 1: Daniel Malley along with Trade Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Raj
11:41
Speaker 1: what was it you were saying about the uh, the
11:43
Speaker 1: fraternity running over its pledges with cars.
11:47
Speaker 6: I can't unsee it. It's in my head now. But
11:50
Speaker 6: how bad do you want to be in that fraternity? Like,
11:53
Speaker 6: I'm a proud member of the Pi cap Alpha fraternity,
11:55
Speaker 6: but if somebody hit me with the car, I.
11:57
Speaker 3: Think I'd quit the next day.
12:00
Speaker 2: No, you bring up a great point.
12:01
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point during the hazing process, especially
12:04
Speaker 1: at this one at UCF and the Sigma Kai house,
12:08
Speaker 1: once they run over one of your fellow pledges with
12:11
Speaker 1: a car, shouldn't you stop and think? I wonder what
12:14
Speaker 1: they're doing over at the Sigma New House, the Ronald
12:18
Speaker 1: McDonald's house, any house other.
12:20
Speaker 3: Than that one. I think some of them ended up
12:23
Speaker 3: with the ron McDonald house.
12:28
Speaker 6: I've never wanted to be in an organization that bad,
12:31
Speaker 6: And I'm like, all right, go ahead, hit me, hit
12:34
Speaker 6: me with your car.
12:35
Speaker 2: Did they? Did they not do the paddling stuff to
12:38
Speaker 2: you guys?
12:38
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, for sure. See that.
12:42
Speaker 1: I'm not anti fraternity and sorority, but I am for myself.
12:46
Speaker 1: It was it was not an interest of mine. I
12:49
Speaker 1: didn't have time for it anyway, because I was too
12:50
Speaker 1: busy working and stuff and paying bills.
12:52
Speaker 3: But I didn't like.
12:54
Speaker 1: The idea of being tortured, ye to be well them
13:00
Speaker 1: into the fold.
13:01
Speaker 2: And also money was a factor.
13:03
Speaker 1: I didn't have any, so I certainly wasn't going to
13:05
Speaker 1: give it to someone to spank me.
13:10
Speaker 3: You just do it at a BUCkies for free, not
13:19
Speaker 3: being frugal.
13:21
Speaker 5: Groups of young drunk boys and Dan getting spang now
13:25
Speaker 5: the theme for to day.
13:27
Speaker 3: That's the show title.
13:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh yeah, it's because I went I went through
13:33
Speaker 5: two different uh you know, hazing initiations, because one for fraternity,
13:38
Speaker 5: one for Texas Cowboys, which is the group that fired
13:41
Speaker 5: the cannon at the football games. And and it's hard
13:47
Speaker 5: to explain if I tell you that it was some
13:50
Speaker 5: of the dumbest crap ever especially but also I do
13:55
Speaker 5: it again in a heartbeat.
13:56
Speaker 4: It was. It was one of.
13:57
Speaker 5: The most fun times I've had.
14:02
Speaker 4: Yeah.
14:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was some really stupid, dumb stuff that you
14:05
Speaker 5: look back now and go even more so. Yeah, it
14:07
Speaker 5: was really stupid, but also, you know, I would do
14:11
Speaker 5: it again in a heartbeat. It was made lifelong friends
14:14
Speaker 5: and yeah it was. Yeah, it was nothing.
14:19
Speaker 2: That bad, gotcha.
14:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, once once you get run over by a car.
14:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, homicide was never an option.
14:27
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good to know.
14:28
Speaker 3: That's good to know.
14:29
Speaker 1: It's important to know all the by laws the fraternity
14:31
Speaker 1: that you're pledging.
14:32
Speaker 2: Make sure that they have somewhere in there we won't
14:35
Speaker 2: murder you.
14:36
Speaker 3: I mean, our fraternity house had a morgue, so.
14:40
Speaker 1: That potential was though that's different. Your house was at
14:44
Speaker 1: one point a morgue hospital. Yes, that became a fraternity house.
14:49
Speaker 1: It's not like you were so awful to your pledges
14:52
Speaker 1: that you required one to be installed.
14:57
Speaker 3: Apparently they do.
14:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, they might be working towards it at the University
15:00
Speaker 1: of Central Florida, because.
15:02
Speaker 2: That really is frightening me.
15:07
Speaker 3: Really, it's it's not.
15:08
Speaker 1: So much about you know, who's the most loyal that
15:11
Speaker 1: gets that, that gets into that fraternity.
15:14
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of who's the last one living.
15:17
Speaker 3: Those parties must be incredible. Have you been to the
15:23
Speaker 3: Toga party. I'll get hit by a car to do
15:25
Speaker 3: that one.
15:29
Speaker 4: Bring your own white sheet.
15:34
Speaker 2: That is Florida Tuesdays.
15:40
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
15:40
Speaker 1: Though, when when they when you buy the T shirt
15:42
Speaker 1: though that says I survived the Sigma Kai party at
15:45
Speaker 1: at University of Central Florida, they mean it, but again,
15:52
Speaker 1: like me and fraternity stuff, they just it wasn't.
15:56
Speaker 2: It wasn't a for me thing.
15:58
Speaker 1: I will say though, that here you wax poetic about it,
16:01
Speaker 1: Trey and Raj, You're you nodding in agreement, going, oh yeah,
16:05
Speaker 1: some of the dumbest, stupidest, best times of my life.
16:09
Speaker 1: I will say, there is a little twinge of envy
16:11
Speaker 1: in there, but you know, I've I've also lived. I'm
16:15
Speaker 1: just I just didn't have to get spanked by a dude.
16:19
Speaker 5: Yeah you do that for free, to get mask on
16:22
Speaker 5: and let it go.

19:32
Speaker 5: knife to a gunfight. Yeah, that's exactly right. I was
19:36
Speaker 5: the only one without a gun, and chances are half
19:42
Speaker 5: the gun owners. Their B a c Is well above one.
19:48
Speaker 3: On a Tuesday morning.
19:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely not the place to uh, you know,
19:56
Speaker 1: start some stuff.
19:58
Speaker 3: No, God, I'm in that case.
20:02
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad to live a little vicariously through through
20:06
Speaker 1: U RAJ.
20:07
Speaker 2: And you trade with your with your fraternity stories.
20:09
Speaker 6: But you look like you're more of a fraternity guy
20:12
Speaker 6: than the two of us, Like you look like one.
20:15
Speaker 1: Oh, I guess I could see that, especially right now.
20:20
Speaker 2: But like if you were to see Trey in his
20:21
Speaker 2: younger days.
20:22
Speaker 1: You'd be like, oh, yeah, that's that's a quality frat
20:25
Speaker 1: guy right there.
20:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, I could see the Texas cowboy. I could see
20:28
Speaker 6: that for sure. But you will when you look at me,
20:31
Speaker 6: you don't. You don't think Pike. You think like teachers aid, like,
20:36
Speaker 6: that's that's what I look like.
20:40
Speaker 2: Leading research team.
20:45
Speaker 1: All right, So you were the one as vice president
20:48
Speaker 1: of your fraternity, RAJ, you were the one that had
20:50
Speaker 1: to give out warnings and things to the fraternity members.
20:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, sort of.
20:55
Speaker 1: Well, there was another warning issued recently that I want
20:59
Speaker 1: to do share with you, and that is from the FBI. Uh,
21:03
Speaker 1: nothing having to do with fraternities. Although the Central Florida
21:07
Speaker 1: may have to answer a phone call on on some
21:10
Speaker 1: but no, the FBI has actually issued a nationwide warning
21:15
Speaker 1: about a new wave of smishing attacks which are spreading
21:19
Speaker 1: across the United States. Smishing texts are fraudulent messages sent
21:24
Speaker 1: via SMS, short message service or text messaging, hence the
21:28
Speaker 1: smishing that's what why they call it that, with the
21:31
Speaker 1: intent to trick recipients into revealing personal information such as passwords,
21:35
Speaker 1: credit card details, or other sensitive data. I've actually, I
21:40
Speaker 1: think I've gotten a few of these lately.
21:42
Speaker 4: So you for this.
21:44
Speaker 5: I mean, you know I was gonna say something, but yeah,
21:49
Speaker 5: because he's brown and you think he would scam.
21:52
Speaker 6: I feel you looked right at me when you said FBI,
21:58
Speaker 6: because I was trying to make a segue from you
22:00
Speaker 6: being the enforcer at your fraternity to the FBI enforcing
22:03
Speaker 6: a warning.
22:04
Speaker 3: Nothing, nothing that you suspect. No, I'm just gonna go
22:09
Speaker 3: on board myself.
22:10
Speaker 1: Now, I really did I got this one, I think
22:19
Speaker 1: on Friday. I'm pretty sure this is a smishing one,
22:22
Speaker 1: one that from a phone number I've never seen before.
22:24
Speaker 1: It's on my phone, it's not saved, just simply saying
22:27
Speaker 1: how is your day? There was a there's God, there's
22:32
Speaker 1: been so many.
22:34
Speaker 3: I keep getting the whole road ones.
22:37
Speaker 1: I've gotten those. I've gotten those from the North Texas
22:40
Speaker 1: Tollway Authority. I've gotten those.
22:41
Speaker 3: Yep.
22:44
Speaker 2: What is it, Trey?
22:46
Speaker 4: I'm sure you have gotten all sorts of text Dan?
22:51
Speaker 3: Is that what you call it? Smishing?
22:53
Speaker 4: Is that what it is?
22:57
Speaker 3: I thought it'd be more like smushing? But uh, but
23:00
Speaker 3: what do I know?
23:02
Speaker 2: Here's another one, Hey, how have you been still looking
23:04
Speaker 2: for you?
23:09
Speaker 1: There's another back. There's another one that's just a smiley face.
23:15
Speaker 3: Wonder there was one just a license plate. One just
23:24
Speaker 3: says Peterbilt.
23:28
Speaker 1: Uh.
23:28
Speaker 2: There was even another one. And I assume that this
23:31
Speaker 2: was also a scam.
23:33
Speaker 3: Uh hang on, where it the go?
23:36
Speaker 4: Oh?
23:37
Speaker 3: There it is?
23:37
Speaker 1: Uh. This it's one that says, help my car broke down.
23:41
Speaker 1: I got that text last night.
23:46
Speaker 3: It was from Sigma KA.
23:50
Speaker 5: No car breaks down. That'd be like the confetti emoji.
24:04
Speaker 5: Why'd you send back the emoji?
24:06
Speaker 1: Whiskey, I'm not even gonna tell you about this eggplant
24:11

Speaker 1: Daniel Malley along with Trade Trenholme and Raj Sharma on Wednesday,
25:16
Speaker 1: March nineteenth, two Thy twenty five. In the midst of
25:20
Speaker 1: all this fun and frivolity, we do have some sad
25:24
Speaker 1: news to report. Another major mall brand is pulling down
25:29
Speaker 1: the chain door and turning off the lights. Forever twenty
25:32
Speaker 1: one is closing.
25:35
Speaker 3: So sad I know.
25:37
Speaker 1: For the second time in six years. Forever twenty one
25:40
Speaker 1: has filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection, citing declining mall
25:44
Speaker 1: traffic and increased competition from online retailers such as Shine
25:49
Speaker 1: and Timu. The company plans to close all three hundred
25:52
Speaker 1: and fifty US stores, initiating liquidation sales to sell off
25:57
Speaker 1: remaining inventory. So sad their major mall brand bites the dust.
26:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, now we're a forty five year old women Gonna Shop.
26:07
Speaker 1: Really was one of the more ironically named stores.
26:13
Speaker 3: Like it like it was.
26:14
Speaker 1: It was called Forever twenty one, but really it was
26:16
Speaker 1: more like wish I was still twenty one actual. You know,
26:20
Speaker 1: I will say, I think Forever twenty one is I
26:25
Speaker 1: guess that would be a millennial brand. So I don't
26:28
Speaker 1: know if millennial the millennial generation really has a stable
26:32
Speaker 1: of brands that have gone extinct, they can actually feel
26:37
Speaker 1: nostalgic about that. We do in gen X, Like we
26:41
Speaker 1: had Woolworths and you know, toy stores.
26:45
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the other the other stores
26:48
Speaker 2: in the malls.
26:48
Speaker 1: Yeah there was okay, well the mall I the first
26:51
Speaker 1: mall I grew up with.
26:53
Speaker 2: Had a Woolworths. It was kind of set.
26:55
Speaker 3: It was old.
26:57
Speaker 2: But there were stores in the mall that you would oca.
26:59
Speaker 1: That you would art to see go away. Gad Zooks
27:02
Speaker 1: was a big one that finally went away. Hot Hot
27:06
Speaker 1: Topic was gone, but now it's kind of back again.
27:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, Forever twenty one going dark inside the mall,
27:12
Speaker 1: along with so many other brands.
27:14
Speaker 2: I just miss it was.
27:15
Speaker 1: I think it was the arcade at the mall was
27:19
Speaker 1: called a Laddin. I think it was called the Laddin's
27:21
Speaker 1: Arcade at one point.
27:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, and then it changed to Tilt yep,
27:25
Speaker 6: and then from tilt it went to I think like
27:28
Speaker 6: some sort of like herbal holistic store.
27:32
Speaker 3: I think that's what happened to it.
27:33
Speaker 6: I just want to see how nostalgic you get when
27:35
Speaker 6: I say Montgomery Wards.
27:38
Speaker 2: I'm not as I'm not as nostalgic about that one.
27:41
Speaker 1: That that that Montgomery Ward was not one of my
27:44
Speaker 1: normal anchor stores at the mall.
27:48
Speaker 3: You're more of a Seers guy. Yes, the the Sears.
27:56
Speaker 1: The Sears at the mall in Bartlesville, Oklahoma held out
27:59
Speaker 1: strong for.
28:00
Speaker 2: Many many years.
28:03
Speaker 3: Sanger Harris.
28:07
Speaker 1: All right knocked that one, I will say, not Singer Harris,
28:11
Speaker 1: which turned into which Yeah.
28:14
Speaker 4: Actually, I think the mall store that.
28:16
Speaker 5: I probably had the most most attachment to would have
28:20
Speaker 5: been Sharper Image.
28:22
Speaker 3: Oh that's because you're a Highland park.
28:25
Speaker 4: No, they always had the coolest stuff.
28:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, we had a Sharper Image of the county small
28:29
Speaker 6: for about a day and a half. They realized very
28:34
Speaker 6: quickly nobody could afford anything in that store, so I
28:39
Speaker 6: think they moved it to your neighborhood.
28:43
Speaker 5: But no, that was there was always one in North
28:45
Speaker 5: Park and that was yeah, uh, that was always the
28:49
Speaker 5: coolest stuff.
28:51
Speaker 3: Yeah. What was the mall?
28:52
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember this was this was back in
28:54
Speaker 1: the late eighties, early nineties.
28:56
Speaker 2: Straight and pretty sure it was Dallas.
29:00
Speaker 1: If it was near downtown, like there was a store
29:02
Speaker 1: that had like you had like a a basement Sears.
29:06
Speaker 1: There was a mall, but then there was like a
29:07
Speaker 1: basement level where you'd go.
29:09
Speaker 2: Down and please ask pa. That's where my mom would
29:16
Speaker 2: take me to get my Huskies jeans.
29:19
Speaker 3: She took you to a basement. It was pretty sure.
29:29
Speaker 3: It was right next to abductions.
29:38
Speaker 4: Of course you remember Emmy Moses where you got cheap candy.
29:43
Speaker 3: You said, Moses, I haven't heard that.
29:47
Speaker 2: No, I'm serious. Now I need to call my mom
29:49
Speaker 2: and I need to ask her. H I need to
29:51
Speaker 2: ask her what what was What was the store that
29:53
Speaker 2: you took me to them?
29:54
Speaker 1: Almost positive it was a Sears where it was like
29:57
Speaker 1: in the basement level to go get pants.
30:00
Speaker 3: You got pants in the basement.
30:05
Speaker 4: That was that before or after?

30:56
Speaker 3: So give us a.
30:57
Speaker 2: Follow on social media at Treehouse on Air.
31:03
Speaker 1: It didn't work so well for me yesterday, but I'm
31:05
Speaker 1: gonna give it another world today to try to, you know,
31:08
Speaker 1: try to steer us back onto course here inside the Treehouse,
31:12
Speaker 1: which seems to have run amock a bit. And to
31:15
Speaker 1: do that, I'm going to attempt birthdays today. It's Wednesday,
31:19
Speaker 1: March nineteenth, two five. Let's celebrate with some birthdays. Turning
31:26
Speaker 1: forty three today is a man named Eduardo Savareen. He's
31:29
Speaker 1: according to the movie The Social Network, He's the one
31:32
Speaker 1: that helped create Facebook and then got shut out by
31:35
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg. I say according to the movie because I
31:38
Speaker 1: don't know if that's exactly how it actually happened or not.
31:41
Speaker 1: But still a guy who supposedly helped found Facebook. Even
31:47
Speaker 1: though he's not as well known as Mark Zuckerberg, he's
31:51
Speaker 1: still worth about thirty billion dollars in his own right,
31:54
Speaker 1: So not doing too bad, not bad when you again,
32:00
Speaker 1: it's not a bad outcome when you think about how
32:02
Speaker 1: Facebook actually started, which was supposed to be the objectification
32:06
Speaker 1: of female classmates at Harvard. Ultimately they shifted a bit
32:16
Speaker 1: in their content strategy.
32:19
Speaker 2: And it paid off. I did I think it was
32:23
Speaker 2: was an Eilish Slushinger.
32:24
Speaker 4: I saw.
32:26
Speaker 1: It was a comedy clip. I think it was on
32:28
Speaker 1: Facebook actually that I saw the other day. I think
32:30
Speaker 1: it was Eilish Slushinger.
32:33
Speaker 3: What.
32:34
Speaker 1: Elizah Slushinger has a new comedy special out and she
32:37
Speaker 1: was talking about as either gen X or millennial. She
32:40
Speaker 1: was saying how gen Z needs to respect the older
32:43
Speaker 1: generations more for our social media prowess because we started
32:49
Speaker 1: with things like friends her in my Space. I was like, God,
32:54
Speaker 1: there are times I kind of missed those old days
32:56
Speaker 1: of basic social media as opposed to all the horrific
33:01
Speaker 1: stuff that's happened to social media since.
33:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were in my top eight for years.
33:06
Speaker 1: Yes, likewise and on MySpace, and I don't know if
33:15
Speaker 1: there was anyone more excited when the top friends list
33:18
Speaker 1: expanded than me.
33:20
Speaker 2: Oh yes, I could go from eight to sixteen and
33:22
Speaker 2: the blink of an eye. See sometimes I just serve
33:27
Speaker 2: it up for you, dre I was waiting for it.
33:30
Speaker 3: You could go from eight to sixteen. And that's just
33:32
Speaker 3: a Friday night.
33:36
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the buckis bathrooms are go to like
33:39
Speaker 2: sixty four.
33:42
Speaker 3: It's good to have goals.
33:43
Speaker 1: Dan other birthdays today head coach of the Kansas City
33:49
Speaker 1: Chiefs Andy Reid is sixty seven. It's mainly older birthdays today.
33:55
Speaker 1: So Andy Reid, head coach of the Chiefs, sixty seven today.
33:59
Speaker 1: It's a great example, just a touch on sports, great
34:01
Speaker 1: example of they always talked about when he was the
34:04
Speaker 1: head coach of the Eagles, Oh can't can't win the
34:06
Speaker 1: big one kind of situation. And then you know, he
34:10
Speaker 1: goes away from the Eagles and then he takes over
34:12
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and it's every other year. The Chiefs were
34:16
Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl since he took over. Sometimes the
34:19
Speaker 1: NFL is so flawed.
34:22
Speaker 5: But he had the foresight to move up in the
34:25
Speaker 5: draft to take Patrick Mahomes and I think tenth, you know,
34:28
Speaker 5: because and I say this, you know at the time
34:33
Speaker 5: they were all in the same conference. Yeah, Texas techet
34:36
Speaker 5: had a string of quarterbacks that were just rag arms,
34:38
Speaker 5: but they put up big numbers and I think Patrick
34:41
Speaker 5: Mahoons kind of got caught up in that. And clearly
34:44
Speaker 5: Andy Reid saw something that other people missed. And you know,
34:49
Speaker 5: other than Tom Brady in the last round, Yeah, Mahomes
34:53
Speaker 5: was pretty good pick up at number ten.
34:56
Speaker 2: I'm still stunned, even even as a Cowboys fan. I'm
34:58
Speaker 2: still stunned that the that not one Andy Reid led
35:02
Speaker 2: Eagles team won a Super Bowl and very I'm still
35:05
Speaker 2: surprised by that. Have you also seen the footage of
35:08
Speaker 2: him when he was ten for the any Reid or
35:11
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes any Reid, No, Yeah, you gotta, you gotta
35:15
Speaker 2: look that up. It's a fantastic video. It's that pass
35:18
Speaker 2: punt thing that.
35:20
Speaker 4: They Oh I have seen that. Yeah, he's a huge kid,
35:25
Speaker 4: just kicking the He's like six' three.
35:29
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
35:30
Speaker 5: He looks like kids like nine or ten. Yes, he
35:36
Speaker 5: looks like an adult. Like he looks like he could
35:40
Speaker 5: be driving and have a cigarette.
35:42
Speaker 3: He probably did, Yeah.
35:47
Speaker 2: And his dad picking up chicks at a happy hour.
35:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's like six two, six' one something like. That he's,
35:55
Speaker 6: giant and like everybody behind him is a normal sized.
35:59
Speaker 6: Kid so it's just kind of fun to. Watch if
