• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Haha, you suck. It is time to leave your worries
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Mallley along with Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Thank you
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: for joining us today. Today is like our Oscars. We
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: specialize in stupid here inside the Treehouse. So this is
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: like our Oscars. The twenty twenty five IG Nobel Prizes
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: are here. The IG Nobel Prize is like the Nobel Prize,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: but it's for the weirdest and dumbest things science did
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: over the last year. So right up our alley and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: this shows.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So it's not the Darwin Awards. This is stupid science.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, So the IG Nobel Prizes are very much an
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: offshoot of the Nobel Prizes some of the same categories
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: just stupid, which is where, which is where we live.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: The Darwin Awards are separate for just general stupidity, this
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: is stupid the name of science. This year's winners include,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: in no particular order, The Nutrition Prize was awarded to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: researchers who determined rainbow lizards prefer four cheese to other
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: varieties of pizza. And yes, pineapple pizza was included in
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the study. So not only was this study so specific
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they went through various forms of pizza, but it was
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: so specific that it was limited to just one type
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of lizard, the rainbow lizard. I don't think it involved
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: any other type of lizard.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Which also means somebody funded the study. Mm hm.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: That's and that's what's beautiful about these things is someone's
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: going to fund them and all, and there's reasons for it,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: legitimate reasons for it. We're just not interested in those
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: legitimate reasons. We're really interested in the surface level stupid.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So that just it makes me believe that there's
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: like a bunch of like scientists in a room that
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: just got really good weed that they just developed. Right,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: They're like, what can we do you want to feed
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: a lizard pizza? Like, yeah, what kind of lizards a rainbow.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And what kind of pizza?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: All of them? And I like how even rainbow lizards
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: know that pineapple doesn't go on a pizza. I mean.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Did they Did they try a supreme but.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Possibly pan thin crust, yeah, hand tossed Chicago Detroit dish, Yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Detroit style, Oh, the Detroit style? Or did they go
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: super sacrilegious like cheeseburger pizzas or Mexican pizzas.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: They was going to find out these rainbow lizards were
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: from Indian and vegetarian, so we'll just take the four
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: cheese please, please, That's that's all we want.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean that's just that's just the Nutrition Prize.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We've also got the Pediatrics Prize. The Pediatrics ig Nobel
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Prize went to a team who looked into what a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: nursing infant experiences when their mother eats garlic. They could
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: have gone a number of directions on that, like they
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: could have gone more severe on what the mother was
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: eating to see the effects of the child, like Dave's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: insanity sauce for something super spicy, or like Raja's mom's vindaloo. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: but they just they just went garlic and what was.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Do we have the results of that of the study?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Again, you were focusing too much on the science side
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of this. I have only dug so deep to get
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to the surface of the actual prize winner. I don't
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: know the point of their research because if I did,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that would ruin the fun. Yeah, I just want to
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: know if it's like, you know, infant winced when garlic minced.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. I just want to know
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: if there was a little doctor suicism in there.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Or maybe or maybe tasting the garlic, the baby, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: went up and flames and that's how they found out.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was a vampire.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was baby vampires.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it was. You had to test to see.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It's the new test because according to the federal government,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: they don't want to test babies for stuff as much anymore.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So now you need more home remedies to test to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: see if your baby has vampirism. So you gotta you
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: gotta find creative ways to do it. Autism, autism, vampisms.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You know, RFK is not giving you a vaccine for
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that just not gonna happen. You gotta figure that out
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: on your own.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Just drive a stake through your kid's hard.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Well, what do you find out there? Because that would
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: kill a human. Also, I don't think any of us
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: elected any president to nominate Blade as the head of
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that department.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I would much rather have Blade sling, So yes, he's.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: The Chemistry Prize went to experiments analyzing whether eating teflon
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: would be an effective way to increase food volume without
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: extra calories.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Say how this.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Has real world implications? It just sounds horrifically dangerous?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Can can you read that again?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Happily? The twenty twenty five Ignobil Prize for Chemistry went
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to experiments alyzing whether eating teflon would be an effective
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: way to increase food volume without extra calories. This is
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: how bad the obesity epidemic is in our country.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So okay, yeah, again you're going to science side. I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: going to the science side of it because that's just
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: my Indian nerdy brain, Like it could mean if they
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: if it's like teflon particles attached to food to increase
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the weight of that food without adding calories. Kind of uh,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: sounds like a lot of cancer but sounds brilliant at
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the same time.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Cancer, but a six pack.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I'm full, but I have tumors.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or it just coats the stomach where you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they can't absorb all the fat, and then yeah, immediate
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: weight loss.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: It just slides right through.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It's like it's like remember when they came out with olestra.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yes, oh yeah on.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: The bag everyone got leaky butt syndrome.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, on the bag it was like it caused anal leakage.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: And then it's like recommended to wear dark jeans. I mean,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: trus I like potato chips, but I don't putting on
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: a pound or two if I'm not a duke in
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: my pants.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a hell of a trade off there.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was funny. Fat free chips are, but you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: can't eat a lot of them because, no.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: That ruins the whole point of it. The whole point
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: was to be able to eat until we throw up.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: That's that's what we want, right, We want to eat
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: as much as we want until we're full and nauseous,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Like we do want Thanksgiving practically and not have to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: worry about any you know, caloric consequences.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I tried it. I tried. I tried the illustra once.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I think we all did at least once. Oh I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: just when I say two thousands were a crazy time.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying I'm very Johnny dangerously when I say
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: once once. Yeah, because I ate with my with my sandwich,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, we got fat free chips, baby,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: We're living in the future. I got a handful of them,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: just like I would do with my regular sandwich, you know.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: And a couple of hours later I was like, hmm,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: that is a rough feeling there. And then after that
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh no, I don't need to go
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: in for an oil change every now and again.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, the early two thousands were a
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: hell of a time. I mean, you had to go
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: around wearing dark jeans in case you ate too much
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: o Lester fat free chips and had the anal leakage,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: and we were still trying to decide which DVD for
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Matt was going to win the day. Was it going
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: to be Blu Ray or the HD DVD ended up
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: being Blue Ray?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: M hm, So Teflon doesn't surprise me. I'm thinking, like,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: if Olestra gave you wiky butt syndrome. What does teflon
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: give you.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Hard shiny guts? I mean, if you think about it
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: from a logical standpoint, I get it right. Teflon is slick, right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I mean we use it for our cooking surfaces already,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: So it stands to reason if food doesn't stick to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: your teflon coated cooking pan, then what would happen if
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: your insides were teflon lined? Therefore, the food would not stick,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: And like Trey said, your body becomes an intestinal luge.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, but it also wouldn't digest, so you're just gonna
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: eat it and about the same thing, but no calories
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: and dead in eight days.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: A nonstick colon sounds really dangerous.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse

• 11:23
  Speaker 2: dot com. Now is one of the best times of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the year to get that roof inspection scheduled because it's
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: not quite as hot. Storm season is waning some and
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Daniel and his team have even more time to go
• 11:37

• 11:58
  Speaker 5: looking at it the same way we do. And so
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: when we get up there, we're looking at penetration points, flashings.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: We're looking at the common wind areas that are going
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: to get blown off your hips, the edges of your eves.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: You know, these are the things that we look at
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: as professionals that you may never see because you're looking
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: at a house and all.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: You see is the house. We see the details, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: so that's.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Why it's important.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: It's a perfect time we can come out, do some
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: repairs if necessary, reseal some items, you know, get you ready,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: because believe it or not, here we go. We're fixing
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: to b in fall and winners right around the corner.

• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Cook is sort of like Game of Thrones holding that sword,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: looking out into the wilderness and saying brace yourselves. Winter
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: is coming and he wants to help you get ready
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: for all that and fix all those imperfections. Now eight

  Speaker 2: they find. A three three cook DFW. Right now, back
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: inside the Treehouse, we are going through the twenty twenty
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: five ig No Bell Prizes for all the stupidities science
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: offered up over the last year. So far we have
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: gone through the Pediatrics Prize, the Biology Prize. All right, No,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: we have not done the Biology Prize. We've done the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: chemistry prize, the pediatrics prize, and the nutrition prize. Now
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: let's do the biology prize that went to a study
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: that determined cows painted with zebra like stripes were fifty
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: percent less likely to be bitten by flies.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Hmm. Now that's an interesting study, I can.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I mean so a couple layers to that. One, first
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: of which is they only wanted to see if they
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: were being bitten by flies, not by anything else. They're
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: only focused on the flies for some reason, okay. And
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: then the other part was only the cows that they
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: had painted to look like zebras.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, and that leads me to believe it had more
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to do with the paint than the than the configuration
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: of the stripes. That cow smells like paint, let's not
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: bite it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And maybe it's maybe that study was not so much
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: geared towards learning about the cow portion of receiving the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: fly bite, but maybe learning about why flies bite at all.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe the flies were like, oh, stripes is not
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a good look on you, and they went for the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: other ones.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Not after labor day.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: He should have done vertical it's more so. This year's
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Literature prize from the IG Nobel Prizes was awarded posthumously
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to a man for persistently recording and analyzing the rate
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: of growth of one of his fingernails over a period
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: of thirty five years. I feel like that's more of
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: a lifetime achievement award?
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Is it achievement?
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's more of a lifetime award?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Is Jerry holding something out for us?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm kind of feeling like since Jerry's kept
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: all of his toenail and fingernail clippings over the past
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: twenty years, he's kind of going over the top with it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: This guy got a Nick Egg Nobel Prize just on
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: one nail. Maybe Jerry's doing too much for science.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how. How did convince a spouse
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: that that's what you're gonna do for? Hey, do you need?
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: You need to get a job? I got one. What
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: are you gonna do? I'm gonna record my fingernail. It's like,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: you need to leave this house. I'm keeping the kids.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: You need to stop drinking and leave this house.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Terry, I hate to break it to you, but
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's a full time job. I mean
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: that's really one note per day.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: That's growing, Yeah, not growing.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: You just imagine what the door jams in his house must.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Look like my pinky nails all grown up the first
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: day of school.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Oh man, all right, back to it. The ig Nobel Prizes,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the Engineering Design Prize went to a team who researched
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: how foul smelling shoes affect the good experience of using
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: a shoe rack.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: There's a there's a there's a good experience to using
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: the shoe rack. It's just convenience.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess they want to measure the quality of
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: experience you have with your shoe rack.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Now would you go, let's say, ad ugly.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say to that. I mean,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: was it sponsored by odor eaters?
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: What what I've.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Or even Nordstrom rack?
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: But is it like okay, so if it's a public thing,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: like would you put your shoes next to someone's that
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: smelled really awful? Or would you put them in a
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: different part of the rat I think that's what maybe
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: they were going for.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: I don't wait, yeah, because in the public shoe rack
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: like so like in like huh, culturally, yeah, culturally, like
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: if you go to my temple, like there's you can
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: go inside with shoes on.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I always new like that, but I've okay, Yeah.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Most of us whites keep our shoes on and the
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: rest of the world is thankful for it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I knew my like I hadn't met my neighbors in ages,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: just you know, different timings. And I guess they were
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: having a birthday party and I was I walked outside,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: man my door, and there was all these shoes outside.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I was like, ah, I've got Indian neighbors.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Could also could also be another Asian because my Vietnamese brother,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I mean he takes his shoes off, you know, every
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: time by the front door.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: As well, and that that is a good practice because
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: when you get in the habit of it, you realize
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: how much dirt you track in with your shoes.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Is it a cleanliness thing raj in the Indian culture
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: or is it something else?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: It's cleanliness, gotcha, it makes sense.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The downside though, is then you have really skanky feet.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Well you keep your socks on, I would hope, like.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Nasty socks. But yeah, I'm with you.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean you're not dragging dirt into the house,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: so you have to I mean, and you clean your floors,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: so when you take your shoes off, it's at the
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: door and you come inside.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: The floors, or you have house shoes.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Now I'm with Trey, I think at that point and
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I need to have the house shoes. I need something
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: on there because after I don't like running around completely
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: barefoot because then I just feel like I'm just Maybe
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: it's because we have pets, so if I go barefoot
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: for more than five minutes, I feel like I'm just
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: covered in you know, pet hair and them crummies and things.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Isn't isn't barefoot? Just the Oklahoma house shoe.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you noticed, but you made Trey
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: and I both do our Robert de Nero impression at
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the same time.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Arkansas it's the Oklahoma house shoe and the
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: razorback flip flop, or just call it the Britney's.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, only if you're going into a public restroom. Yeah,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: you know. Uh yeah, So it's just cultural, like we
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: don't we don't want to drag in dirt and bacteria
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Also, when when the pandemic hit numbers,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: like you got to wash your hands. I'm like, that
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: was the first thing when we came home from school.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: My mom's first thing it was wash her hands. So
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: that was automatically a thing that I just did always. Anyways,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: gotcha yep.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: The Aviation Prize from the ig Nobel Prize Board went
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to research on how alcohol ingestion affects the ability of
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: bats to fly and ecolate or echo locate, or if
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: you read it another way, e chocolate. The Aviation Prize
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: went to research on how alcohol ingestion affects the ability
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: of bats to fly and echo locates. So someone studied
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: drunk bats and I applaud them for it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would like to get.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like there's some risk involved there.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I just want to hear the drunk conversation with it.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Between So there's a batman, right, doesn't that piss you
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: off a little bit? Was the cultural appropriation?
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: And the battle looks up from his the bat looks
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: up from his pint glass and cause you're right, I
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: never thought about that.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: You're never going to be a batman, you know what
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: And then the researcher has to make a special note.
• 22:07

• 24:18
  Speaker 2: is one of my favorite teases that I've written in
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: a while. Okay, which in itself is a tease. Is
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: this rock bottom or the pinnacle of achievement? Charlie Sheen
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: did so much cocaine that he was cut off by
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a Mexican drug cartel. So once again I ask you,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: is this rock bottom or the pinnacle of achievement?
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: And the Lifetime Achievement award goes to Charlie Schuen's nospitals.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: It reminds me of the John Pinnett bit, the stand
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: up comedian who was overweight, and how the Chinese buffet
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: hated it when he showed up because they would mountain
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: say you go home, you've been here for hour. That's
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: what this reminds me of. Except Charlie Sheen walks up
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: to the Mexican drug cartel and they're like, no, no,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: we're out, get go away.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's the only Yeah, I was gonna say. The
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: only reason they cut you off is if they're running low.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: So it's like, we can't give you any more, but
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: we got to give other There's millions of other people
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: that need it.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: And it is pretty bad. It is really bad if
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: you do so much cocaine that you turn the Mexican
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: cartel into socialists, like we need to save some for
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: everybody else.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: They find Jesus, we're just gonna stop. We're gonna turn
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: this into a church. Literally, hear the devil.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: You know what. We've realized that what we're doing is
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: not so good. We're all ready to turn our lives around.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: The thousands of us.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: We're not producing this anymore. We're gonna do more for
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: the community in Christ. That's what we're gonna do.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: This this highway adopted by the Mexican drug cartel, the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: cartel highway has never been cleaner. And you know they
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: can go all day.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: That's their beef now is who's got the cleanest highways? Cineloa,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you know out there.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Dragging, They're gonna they're gonna beat out those girl scouts.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you that it's l Chapel now instead of.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Oh no, this really is stunning. So Charlie Sheen is
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: in the middle of his uh press tour for his
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: new book, The Book of Sheen, and in a recent
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: interview with an Australian reporter, he dropped the bombshell that
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: he was once cut off by the Mexican cartel. He
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: is sixty years old. He sat down with Channel nine
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: journalist Amelia Adams on the Current Affairs program Sixty Minutes
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: as he hits the publicity trail for his new tell
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: all book, The Book of Sheen and the Netflix documentary
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen. The star revealed that at the height of
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: his drug use, he was cut off from his drug
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: supply by a Mexican cartel. The reporter, Emelia Adams, stunned,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: asked the cartel cut you off? Sheen responded they did.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: They had never seen someone acquiring that kind of weight
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: and so the only other people that they were delivering
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: that kind of weight to were dealers and they thought
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I was dealing on the side.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: He's like, nope, straight into my nose.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah uh, and then I'll throw this in as well.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: She then asked Sheen if rumors that he once smoked
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: seven grams of crack cocaine in one sitting were true.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: His response, well, we never like took one out of
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: the pipe and put it on a scale. However, yeah,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that was the that was the amount that was cooked
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: to get it into that form. I remember at one
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: point the Jaws moment saying we're gonna need a bigger pipe.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, So and if he wants the Netflix series, he
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: talks about it. He's got his buddy that was his
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: bodyguarden that also partied with him and got drugs for him,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: and he's like, it's one hundred percent sury. He goes,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I watched it with my own eyes and almost and
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: it's a big dude. And he wasn't even Charlie's bodyguard
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: at one point. He was just there to hang out
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: and Charlie would pay him like ten thousand dollars or
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: twenty thousand dollars just to party with him, because they
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: would stay up for nights in a row and it
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: not even the allure of twenty grand could keep this
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: guy coming back, because he at one point, he's like
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: even his wife, who knew what he did for a living,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: was like, dude, you got to stop. And he's like,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I have to. I can't keep going over there. He's
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: like it's too much. He's like, I got to he
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: because I would sleep for a week after partying with
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Charlie Seen, and he's still going. Jesus.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was another story I saw. I think this
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: was from his book that in the early nineties, maybe
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: around ninety ninety one, somewhere in that time frame, he
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: had his core group at the time he was partying
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: with and the only person that apparently gave him a
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: run for his money as far as the amount of
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: cocaine and drugs and alcohol ingested was Nicholas Cage.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if that was his first intervention
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: or just one of but it was around that time
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: when he was partying with Nick Cage and he's like, uh,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: then they had an intervention and he was like, yeah,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: maybe now's a good time to stop because Nick Cage
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: was doing more than him, which yeah, shocking.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: That was that was the that was in the documentary
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: as well, because it was his dad's birthday and they
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: called him at like nine o'clock in the morning, like
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: we're doing dad's birthday early, and they're like now, and
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: he showed up and it was an intervention. It wasn't
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: even it was on his dad's birthday, but it was. Yeah.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: And if you can outparty Nicholas Cage, like, Nicholas Cage
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: is the reason we have Johnny Depp because Johnny Depp
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: was in a band back in the day and they
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: put him Nicholas Cage was a buddy and they partied
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: too hard one night and n Nicholas Cage was too
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: hungover to go to an audition and sent Johnny Depp
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: instead and it was Mike Mare on Numstreet. Oh wow.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, sometimes say yes to the drugs.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. See, that's what I'm saying. It's like your six
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: degrees of separation from Ma Sheene gave us Johnny Depp.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh. I mean, just the realization that must
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: have sunk in or maybe it didn't with Charlie Sheen
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: when your dealer tells you, but it's not just a dealer.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's an entire network. It's a car tell
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: that says, we think you need to pump the brakes
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: of bit here.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that order has to come from the top,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: you know. So it's like the head of this, like
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: let's say it's the Cineloa's like, it's the head is
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: like who is this?
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Like the actor. It's like trying to buy a used
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: car at a at a at a at a lot
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: at a car lot and the salesman's like, I don't know,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I need to go check with the manager on this one.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: You've bought too many of these.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: They're making for hell a T shirt like Pablo Escobar
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: cut me off and that's got it. You know, you
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: think about it, that's got to be a pretty because
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: you think about the brat Pack era where they all
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: partied their ass off.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Rob Low, Emelia Astevez.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Christian Slater like all those, Like I mean there's
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: some heavy hitters in there.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, River Phoenix rip.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But the brat Pack were like they retired early,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Like if you look like Boblow like in the late nineties,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I'm not I can't. I can't function
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: like this anymore. And she's like, cool, I got you.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just just give me his. I'll take it. Just
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: give me his. And really, if you think about it,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: because like with Charlie Sheen, he's he his life has
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: been in cycles like reading a very reading various stories
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: about the book and and hearing things from the documentary.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: It's he does this every few years. He's like the Olympics.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: He'll do a bunch of drugs, then he'll get clean
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: for a little while, and then they'll come back around again,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: and then he's standing on top of the podium with
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: white stuff all over his face.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: John Cryer said, exactly what you just said at the
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: really end. Yeah, at the very end of the it's
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: not a spoiler. John Cryer doesn't like him. He's just like,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: this is what he does. He does all this horrific stuff,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: and then he stops, and they give him a project
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: that makes him millions and millions of dollars, and he
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: does it again, and then he stops and then he
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: can give him another one. And now they've given him
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: a book and let's just wait and see. That's kind
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: of his attitude.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. I saw an interview with Cryer there
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: ask him about it, and I forgot how he put it,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: But basically it was like, you know, he goes maybe
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: one day, but he had no interest in talking to
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he says it in the same thing
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: he says it that he's like, but he goes, I
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: got to give him credit. He was like, he never
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: missed a rehears Like in the beginning, he never missed
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: a rehearsal, and he always knew his lines. Everything was great,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: easy to work with on the set, hard to deal
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: with off And then he's like, I knew it was
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: really bad when he started missing like rehearsals, but he
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: would show up on the day of the shoot and
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: know every single thing had his timing was still on.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: And he's like, so, I gotta give him credit for that.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: But that's about it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: As someone who's worked in an environment very similar to this,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Eventually they start flubbing their lines, but that's also in
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: conjunction with not showing up, or if they do show
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: up it's laughably late, and just doing the absolute bear
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: minimum so they could get through whatever is required of
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: them that particular day and make sure they're back in
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: the car by seven oh five. Next to a handle
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: of Tito's I may I may have said too much,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: but whatever. And so it's interesting because like the John
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Cryer sentiment, I understand that because like you don't necessarily
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: have to be mad at the person. But there's all
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: these enablers that make this situation so volatile. And eventually
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen got axed from the show, and they're like,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: this is it. We're done, We're not going to entertain
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the Shenanigans any longer. It doesn't always work out that way, Yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they just keep dragging them through or other people
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: drag them along, and then eventually they die. So the
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: fact that and I'm with you, the fact that Charlie
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Sheen is a live at all is stunning.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even his doctors said that the like we can't
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: you're you're cut from a different cloth. But Crier was
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: talking about he's like the only reason that he got
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: acted from that show is when he called out Chuck Lory.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: That's it. He's like, if he wouldn't have said anything
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: about him, but he was in his you know, crop
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: fueled tiger blood phase. But if he's like, had he
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: not said anything about him, it would have been fine.
• 35:23

  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: You know why because in those situations, they have a
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: tendency to throw money at problems because if you throw
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: money at a problem, then they don't have to worry
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: about it. You just put it on somebody else. Yes,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: a production crew, the co stars, the directors, all the
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: people at the deal with that on the daily basis.

• 36:16
  Speaker 2: are you not doing this with Charlie Sheen.

  Speaker 3: to cocaine.
