  Speaker 2: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley along with
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Trey Trendholm. Today we start inside the Treehouse with Dallas
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: is one of the most sinful cities in the entire country,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: according to a new study, Trey, would you believe that?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: At first site? Yeah, let's dig in. In a recent
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: study conducted by a wallet Hub, Dallas ranked as one
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of the top ten most sinful cities in the United States.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: The company compared over one hundred and eighty cities across
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: seven dimensions of traditionally sinful behaviors, ultimately finding that Dallas
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: is the eighth most sinful city in the country. Good job, Dallas.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Where do you go? Everybody? Good effort, great, proud of you?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Is it? You know?
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Is it good? Oh? I mean it's it's interesting.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: San Antonio that was like at twenty three.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, I feel like eighth.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, either clean up your actor or get dirty
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: or and get in the top five.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like it. I like that. Yeah, either get
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: serious or get clean. Like, take a run at the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: number one spot, right, Yeah, you're going to be If
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be bad, you might as well be the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: best at it sort of thing.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I feel like, I don't know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It was gambling one of the things that they looked at.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I believe that plays a part. So let's uh, let
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: me give you some of the metrics that they used.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: So wallet Hub, primarily known as a personal finance service,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: branched into cultural research and did a nationwide study to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: determine the country's most sinful cities. The analysis evaluated one
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty two cities selected from the one hundred
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and fifty most populated metro areas against a complex framework
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of thirty seven relevant metrics. Those were categorized into seven
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: key dimensions designed to reflect the modern interpretation of the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: seven deadly sins. One of those anger and hatred, severe incidents,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: hostility and violence okay. Number two excesses and vices, rates
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of obesity, drug use, and excessive drinking sea tray. Had
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you not quit drinking nine years ago, you might have
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: propelled Dallas into the top five. Number three jealousy, theft
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and fraud. Number four greed. They looked at casinos, gambling establishments,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: low rates of charitable donations. Yeah. Number five is vanity.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Google search interest in plastic surgery, tanning salons per capita.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: That's where I feel like Dallas was very strong. Oh surgery, Yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that's uh huh. Number six lust the density of adult
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: entertainment establishments, Google search trends for affairs and or adult entertainment.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's high on the Dallas list. There
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: absolutely then laziness, low volunteer rates, average time watching television,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and lack of exercise. Because of this, Because of all
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: those metrics, based on the seven Deadly Sins, the top
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: five sinful cities in the US. Number one Las Vegas,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: no surprise there. Number two though, so Texas strong Houston.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Houston is making a bid to be the most sinful
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: city in the United States, coming in number two behind
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Number three La four Philadelphia maybe probably just
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: because they're all a bunch of dicks. Number five Atlanta.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So there you have the top five. Dallas was eighth.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I think San Antonio was third, So interesting on those
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: on those fronts. The thing that I don't know is
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that when they say Dallas, it says metro area, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: where do they actually cut that off? Because in some
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of these studies of some of the suburbs of Dallas
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: are so big in their own right, they don't get
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: included in Dallas's stuff. You know, cities like Arlington, for Orth.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, they are their own cities. I mean, granted,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think Solion is going to be folded into
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the Dallas numbers here, but you know, I mean they're
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: also not going to be concerned as on the same
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: level as these others.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean did they Is it the metro area
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: or is it just Dallas? I think is uh, but
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I can definitely. I mean there's some of those you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Dallas hit high on uh, you know, charity. I'd say
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Dallas is one of the better cities and stuff like that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: But vanity, adultery, adult entertainment.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I think I I.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Think we're still top ten and like strip clubs per capita.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, we got to be at least top three.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I think we.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I mean I would I would say Vegas, Miami, Dallas
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and some order in there.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: You know, do you know what typically is the number
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: one city? Tampa Bay?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: The fuck? How how a lot of clubs? Is that?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Why our Buddy Diego splits time between DFW and Tampa Bay.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: That a boy d Really, that is such a random
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I remember seeing that list years ago and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it was like number one per capita Tampa Bay.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, I've never been, so I don't know.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: But but when you consider how often Tampa Bay gets
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl, it kind of makes sense. And all
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: those all those former players with Super Bowl tickets and
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: TV gigs got to have someplace to blow off steam.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Kind of like that time we saw Chris Carter at
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the Platinum Club. And it's not like we're speaking out
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of turn here. I mean, it's not like he was
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: trying to hide his face.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there there was a time where you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: could go to a number of the local gentlemen's club
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and see many a pro.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Athlete, many a pro athlete, many many.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Rosters.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's defense night at at the lodge.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: The offense is gathering down the street of baby dolls.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is exactly where.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Special teams is at the clubhouse because they can't afford
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the nicer.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Spots offense and and you know, sometimes uh management, uh
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: flash ownership would would would partake as well.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, mm hmmmm hmmmm. It's the team unity in
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Dallas is is a different thing compared to other places.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Like like, something tells me the Mara family that owns
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and runs the Giants aren't hanging out partying with the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: team like the like the Joneses do.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: No. But you know who would want to go to
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: a strip club with Eli? You know what?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I kind of would just just to see how he's dopey.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: He looked, I don't be playing football. Can you imagine
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: him trying to tip or did a left Like even
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Peyton would roll in be like, you can't even do
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that better than me.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Sit there, that dumbface.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I don't understand.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: She's trying to touch me where I pee?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Eli, just just hit the check down, go to the bathroom.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Just save yourself. Also, also a man was arrested for
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: carjacking then stealing the same car. Again, this did not
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: happen in Dallas, so this did not affect the city
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of Dallas's sinful rating. In Waterbury, Connecticut, a man was
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: arrested after allegedly carjacking a woman in November, then stealing
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the vehicle back after police recovered it In a post
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: on Facebook, the Waterbury Police Department said Aaron Rodriguez de
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: los Santos, a twenty six year old city resident, which
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: was charged with larceny of a motor vehicle first offense
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and two counts of possession of narcotic with intent to sell.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Police said the arrest comes in connection with an incident
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that began November twenty third, when a twenty fifteen Honda
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Civic was stolen. They said Rodriguez de Losentos followed the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: victim home and as she exited her vehicle, pusher took
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the key fob and stole the car. Police said. The
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: vehicle later recovered by police, but he still had the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: vehicle's keyfob and stole the vehicle a second time. On Wednesday.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: About an hour later, officers with the Auto Theft Task Force,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: in the job that they probably thought was the easiest
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: they'll ever have in their careers, saw the stolen Civic
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: at a gas station and the man was arrested without incident.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Then he was also found in possession of fentonyl and
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: crack cocaine. So he's in trouble times two now. But
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't this beg the question I will what is it
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: about that Honda Civic he loved so much, you know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: dependability something to be said for that. I mean, don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: get me wrong, twenty fifteen is a good fine, fine
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: year for a Honda Civic.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Uh but does it?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Where did the police department go, oh, hey, we'll take that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: You know, where's the fob?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So not everyone knows this, but we know we know
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: enough police officers in our lives. We know enough police
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: officers in our lives to know that sometimes they make mistakes,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: and sometimes they don't get all the pieces of evidence
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: that they were supposed to or, in the case of
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: a video I saw the other day, sometimes they leave
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: their AR fifteen on top of the car next to
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the light bars they drive around town that was not Dallas,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: by the ways.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: They are not perfect, but they do try. And in
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: this case, I imagine it was two officers and one
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: of them thought the other one was gonna get that
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: key fob, and instead it was returned to the guy
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: when he bailed out of jail the first time.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, that's I mean, I feel like
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that's for the second offense. I feel like that's his defense.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you just go to judge. You go,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: what'd you expect?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you left crack with a crackhead, they're gonna
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: spoke it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: And at that point, I don't know if I can
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: really blame him, you know, I mean, because if you
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: get arrested and this is an interesting legal question, get
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: he gets arrested for stealing this car, right, but then
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the police returned the key to him that he's stole,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: that's supposed to be key evidence in the first crime.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: If they return it back to him, couldn't he then say, well,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: it seemed to me like the police wanted me to have.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: It, or they were they were framing him.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful frame job. He's just sitting there posing.

• 14:52
  Speaker 2: cookdfw dot com. Trey, we talked yesterday a little bit
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: about how over the weekend Tara and I watched Santa
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Claus the movie, not the Santa Claus starring Tim Allen,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: but Santa Claus the movie, which came out in the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: late eighties. I need to pull up to see exactly
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: what year and everything. But this starred Dudley Moore, who
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: had a starring role as Patch, one of the elves
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: in the film. Also John Lithgow as the bad guy
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: in the film named Beez, head of Bez Toys. David
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Huddleston played Santa Claus. And there's even there's a couple
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: of kids in the movie. One of them, her name
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: is Carrie Heim. She plays Cornelia. She's one of those
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: like eighties actresses. She plays a little girl in the movie.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: You would recognize her if you start you'd be like, oh, yeah,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: that girl. So anyway, that was one of the movies
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: we watched over the weekend, kind of getting that Christmas spirit,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: and I noticed it. It's Rotten Tomatoes score was hot garbage.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: It was basically I think it was sixty seven percent
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: on Rotten Tomatoes. And look, I get it. I can
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: see how certain things about the movie may not hold
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: up compared to some newer films. So I get that,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: but I have to bet I was a little surprised
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: at that score. No, Trey, you've never seen it, But
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: what would you say, is the best Christmas movie of
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: all time? Did I Break You?
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Scrooged or The Ref?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: So two great ones, but unfortunately, according to IMDb rankings,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: they did not make the top ten.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I'm sure those swats are gonna put elf somewhere.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: You really hate that movie?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It is I it's an awful movie.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's a hot take. Why is it such an
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: awful movie?
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: It's cheesy, predictable, stupid.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I find Will Ferrell just and I love him and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of things he does, but I find him
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: just over the top and annoying.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, I've never even gotten through the entire movie. It's
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: it sucks that bad.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: You hate it that bad. It's not that it sucks,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: you just think it sucks. You hate it, You hate
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: it with a passion. All Right, I am pulling up,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: according to IMDb rankings, the movies you just said, because
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I want to see how they compare. Because someone put
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: together the list of the best Christmas movies of all time,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: ranked by IMDb score, and your guesses of screw Rouged
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and The Ref did not make the top ten. So
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I have here the best Christmas movies of all time,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: ranked by IMDb's score. Trey. You will be happy to
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: learn that Elf did not make this top ten list.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: It has an IMDb score of seven point one.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Scrooged six point nine also did not make the top ten.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: And The Ref another favorite of both of ours, starring
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Dennis Leary, Kevin Spacey, Judy Davis, phenomenal film. One of
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: my favorite all time lines in movie history is in
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: this film also only ranks a six point nine. I
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: think that is a poor number, not because of the film,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: but because clearly of the people doing the ratings, they
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: have screwed up majorly. Anyway, Santa Claus, the movie from
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five that I was telling you about, six
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: point three on the IMDb scale, So those movies did
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: not make the top ten. As far as the best
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Christmas movies of all time at number ten, Love actually
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: with a seven point five. This is a Christmas movie
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I still have not seen, and in the last couple
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: of years, I'm starting to see a lot of hate
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: growing for this one. Like there are people that are
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: very much like not because they question whether or not
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: it's a Christmas movie or whatever, but they just hate
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the film, like like I guess some of the characters
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: and are just really terrible.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, it's a it's not the Notebook, but.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Jesus well, it's I can see why people kind of
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: hate it, but it's not it's worth seeing one time.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: So I think one of the reasons why people or
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: it has like this ground swell of hate is because
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and again I've never seen it, so I don't know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: so help me here. The most Like, there's a whole
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: meme that came out of the film with Andrew Lincoln,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: best known as you know, playing what's his name in
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Walking Dead is at the door of Kiera Knightley's house,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: and I get he's shown he's written out on Q
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: cards his feelings for her and that he loves her.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: But he's doing that because I guess she's married to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: his best friend. So this is just really awful, Like
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: he's he's torpedoing this marriage and he's stabbing his best
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: buddy in the back, all in the name of you know,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Christmas joy and selfishness, I guess. So that's one of
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the reasons why he gets a lot of you know, hate. Yeah,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: but love actually number ten seven point five my movie,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: possibly one of my favorite movies of all time. If
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: you put a gun to my head and I have
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to choose a favorite movie of all time, I would
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: probably be I'd probably say National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. That
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: is seven point five, good for number nine in the list.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: But then there's number eight, The Bishop's Wife. I don't
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: think I've ever heard of this. It came out in
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: nineteen forty seven and has a seven point six. Okay,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I've Nonumber seven. White Christmas with Danny F and K
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: came out in nineteen fifty four, also scored a seven
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: point six okay. Then Home Alone okay, seven point seven.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: The Nightmare Before Christmas seven point nine, good to start
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: the top five. We watched it a handful of years ago.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get why people love it. I didn't
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: love it, but I couldn't see why others would.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I it has been so long, I've that's a movie
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I need to go back, and rewatch, I just don't remember.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Number four is another one of your least favorites. A
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Christmas Story seven point nine.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that is. I don't understand why that's
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: a classic.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: And you watched it as a kid and still don't
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: like it, because you know, like Raj And there are
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: others that people that don't like that movie, and it's
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: usually because they didn't see it as a kid. Typically,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: if you see it as a kid, you like it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Trey is the exception here. Then we go to the
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: top three. Miracle on thirty fourth Street came out in
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: nineteen forty seven, still hold strong with a seven point
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: nine on IMDb.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I've never seen that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think I have either that. I've just seen
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: like little clips and stuff throughout the years, and they've
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: remade that a couple of times. Number two, a Christmas
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Carol from nineteen fifty one is sitting with an eight
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: point one. I don't think I've seen that version.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I now, I would say I would have if
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you said the George C. Scott one from the eighties,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I would have been like, yeah, okay, I agree with that.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've seen that one a couple of times.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Very good, and i'd even take Patrick Stewart version.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah mm hmm. And then number one, No Surprise, It's
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: a Wonderful Life came out in nineteen forty six, holding
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: strong eight point six.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: So I have never seen that one all the way through.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: You know, it's one of those that's so iconic, and
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: you see so many clips and things throughout your life,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: it feels like you've seen it, even if you've never
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: sat through the entire thing from beginning to end. I
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: think the only reason I've seen it from beginning to
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: end is because it was we were forced to watch
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: it when I was in high school. My senior year,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: we took the blowoff of all blowoff senior courses, Theater four,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: i e. Movie watching, And you didn't have to take
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: theater one, two, or three in order to get into
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Theater four. I don't even know why they called it
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Theater four if you didn't have to take one, two,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: or three as prerequisites, whatever the case, but that's you
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: watched old classic movies. And by god, it was a
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: blowoff class. But I really enjoyed it. I learned a
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: lot about movies. We watched Citizen Kane, the Original King Kong,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: It's a Wonderful Life, all these movies that I absolutely
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: never would have watched on my own because they were
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: old and black and white, and some of them were
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: silent films, and I'm like, I don't want to watch this.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Is this the same school that you know discourage you
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: from taking AP courses.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: No, that was the middle school that fed into this school.

• 25:39
  Speaker 2: as it is, we have a little bit more inside
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the Treehouse for today. And I didn't mean to bury this.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: It just kind of happened. Also partly because it's mostly
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: kind of a guy talk show, so we don't really
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: play many birthing videos on the show. But this one's
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: so good that I just felt like it needed to
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: be shared. Trey Brow But take a deep breath, It'll
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: be okay, but also plug your ears right now?
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: What three?
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: So here we have an intake room at Dallas Regional
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Medical Center in Mesquite. A young woman is in a wheelchair,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: writhing in pain, screaming that you can hear, and she's
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: sitting next to an intake lady who could not give
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: less of an f the pain and discomfort that this
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: woman is going through. I'm going to start this back
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: at the top. Here we go, right now?
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: What three? Here's your laying in her doctor.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I've never been pregnant and I never will be pregnant,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't just be asking
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: intake questions to a woman who's going through labor. That
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem like the best time to me, especially if
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: as in she said, it's in her ass. Yeah, I
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: mean she's what she said. This is her third kid,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: so I mean she's had two the normal way as
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: far as we know. So if it's in her ass,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I think she's gonna know. I mean, look, if you
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: get a woman who's wheeled into your intake area at
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: the er and she says she's about to live, she's
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: about to deliver a but baby, stop asking her questions
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: and get her into an actual room.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Or you know, if they're just if they're screaming and
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: writhing in pain, you know, it seems like you would
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: attend to that first and then and worry about paperwork later.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because look, I mean, once they start giving birth,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: they're pretty much committed to the hospital. They're not getting out.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: You can, you can hit them with the paperwork anytime.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Well, and they're kind of giving you a deposit.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, very much. So at the very least you'll be
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: able to hit him with the cleaning fee.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember the m I remember the story came
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: out last week and I was like, oh, but it's ugly.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, breathe it out, breathe it out. Yeah, Actually, are
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: your patients like this?
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: Adjust the black ones?
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Woo, there it is, And the white intake lady just
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: ignores that question, just like she's ignoring the black mother
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: that's about to give birth in the middle of this
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: er intake. Now that that has been introduced into this story.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: The baby was born twelve minutes later after this video
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: was taken, and the hospital worker has since been fired.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: So this video went viral, and the hospital at the
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: center of this controversy said the individual shown in the footage.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: The lady who's asking the questions and couldn't seem to
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: care any less for this woman is no longer employed
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: at the hospital. And this is my favorite part. New
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: training programs have been launched. Look, I mean, at a
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: certain point, there's only so much training you can do
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: as a hospital, and I realize that's just a cover
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: your ass attorney thing to have new training programs. In effect,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: you can't make someone care about somebody else if they
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: just don't.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Well you you know, I've been to an emergency room
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: once or twice and generally, uh, if you're bleeding, uh,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: have some kind of you know, spasm, uh whatever, heart attack, labor,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: they generally rush you right in and attend to you
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and then you know, you can worry about paperwork later.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: If you're there for a boo boo, then they might
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you know, make you go through intake.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: But but a babe usually gets you right through.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: But you know, and it's it's funny and in this
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: day and age, that's got to hurt that hospital all
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: all around.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and look, I mean Dallas Regional Medical Center
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: of Mesquite is not going to be high on the
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: list of hospitals that a number of mothers are going
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: to say, that's right, want to have a baby. But
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: you know what, not everyone gets to choose the hospital,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: you know. And in this case, she actually had According
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: to the story, this mother had everything all planned out,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: this is her third kid, had everything arranged with the doctor,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: her due date, some of the things that they're asking her,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: when your due date the eleventh, When are you having
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: the kid? Now? They had it all set up. Everything
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: was suposed to be ready to go, but she just
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: couldn't get to her whole birthing plan because the intake.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Lady wouldn't let her through. The hospital said in a statement,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: the safety of our patients is always our top priority,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: and we're grateful for the high quality, compassionate care teams
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: right every day, deeply committed honoring blah blah blah blah blah.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: The individual showing in the video did not reflect our
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: values or uphold our standards, and it is no longer
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: employed at Dallas Regional Medical Center. That's not going to
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: stop the impending lawsuit because it's sharks smell blood in
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: the water and lawyers smell money in the water or
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: in this case, in the after birth.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, at the very least, they'll pay some thing just
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: to make it go away.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Yep, they'll settle this, without a doubt. They don't want this,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: They don't want that video being played for a jury.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Days after the nurse is firing, the attorney for the
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: young mother spoke to NBC five. According to her legal team,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: birth that the Mesquite hospital was planned. They knew she
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: was coming, she gave notice, she was actually on her
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: way in. She was in active labor. But more egregious
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: is that she actually was scheduled to be induced at
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: this facility. That's according to the attorney. Medical malpractice and
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: negligence attorney Sarah Raisch said Jones gave birth at the
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: hospital soon after the video was recorded, in is now
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: home recovering with her child. That child's college fund is
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: going to look very nice.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, let's enjoy the risk a little more
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: of this gem of a video. Oh, now she's on
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the phone with somebody her Yeah, customer services pre pregnancies.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Two babies at Alon is not good. I bet you
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: y'all listen next time. She's not wrong about that, delivering
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: at this hospital.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: Your ass should have changed, aftirs.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: That's just what she wants to hear. She wants to
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: hear her mom telling her, I told you.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: So this This sounds like your mom, Drey. Oh yeah,
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: are you about to give birth on the floor of
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: this waiting room?
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: You know what I told you? So? You shouldn't have
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: done this hospital.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: I told you not to have a heart attack here.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: The good news is this young this young mother has
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: a hell of a birthing video for her third child.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh it's you know.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: And nurses are in general underappreciated, like they they do
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: miraculous things.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: But and we don't know that this that this in turn,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: in turn, Jesus, we don't know if this intake person
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: is a nurse. Sometimes these are just employees. They have
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: their job, they date. I'm the intake person. I got
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: to ask the questions. I don't know if if that's
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: a nurse or some level of nurse or not. But
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: if so, she's not a very good one. She does
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: seem to be a very strict intake coordinator though she
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: is not going to let she is not going to
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: let some stup, some stupid birthing mother get in the
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: way of her asking her questions, are you in any
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: pain right now?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's got to be another job far more suited.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: For her, you know, waitress, Both of those, Both of
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: those would be much better than the job she had.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Uh And honestly, after this video, I don't think she'll
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: be able to get a job as an intern as
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: any I keep saying, in turn, as an intake person ever.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Again, not without some you know, probably change of hair.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Move move some place with low internet quality.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: And a lot fewer questions on there.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: For Yeah, this is.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: A lot better my last job. I had like thirty questions.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: It was stupid. It was great for all things Treehouse.
