0:31
It is time to leave your worries outside and join me. Daniel Malley,
0:37
Trade Trenholme, and of course Raz Sharma right here inside the Treehouse. Four
0:45
day three of Treehouse Gone Wild. It is spring break inside the Treehouse.
0:51
Five days of shows this week. Instead of taking time off, we're working
0:55
more and and f I can borrow the fames words of Mike Breno from Lover
1:00
Boy, Loving every minute of it. Someone who is not loving every minute
1:08
of it is uh Dak Prescott. He is not having the ideal off season
1:18
as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Because you would think that the most
1:23
exciting free agents see news of the Cowboys re signing their long snapper, didn't
1:34
you know, quell any concerns or worries he had going into the season with
1:38
getting all the help around and that he needs to win the big one.
1:44
Someone's decided to come after him and say, hey, hey, hey,
1:48
you have sexually assaulted me. And if I may be so bold, if
1:53
there was a Super Bowl of women claiming things that men deny, the Cowboys
1:59
would have way more than five trophies at it. Oh yeah, oh yeah
2:07
that Uh may not have won a Super Bowl in twenty eight years. But
2:13
my god, how many lawsuits have they skirted? It might be able to
2:20
you know what we know about there's no telling going back to sources of the
2:23
nineties. Oh yeah, I don't know. I'm specifically talking about law suits.
2:29
I'm not talking about the under the table things that may or may not
2:31
have happened that we've never even heard about. Yeah, and not even not
2:36
even that, like going into the seventies, like what those Heathens were doing
2:39
back then, that didn't even you know what I mean, like that that
2:43
was just considered like the norm for the situation, right, and you look,
2:47
but I'm sure that people were now though that was but you got to
2:51
remember something. They didn't have the money. Yeah, the guys in the
2:54
seventies, I mean, the first million dollar contract was Stabauch and it idential
3:00
seventy nine. So that's the one thing that did change is in the nineties
3:06
there the disposable income was far greater. Yeah, they still actually had to
3:12
have have real jobs, or at least some of them did. Yeah.
3:15
Yeah, the they didn't have the money for the fur coats that you know,
3:19
Michael Irvin did. Instead, it was for fur coats and Colombian Bam
3:24
bam are expensive? Wasn't that? Wasn't that name of thing? Wasn't that
3:29
Joe Namath thing like cocaine, cigarettes and fur coats on the sideline? Is
3:32
that what he was doing? That that that was a name of thing.
3:36
And that's part of the reason why the Cowboys were America's team is they weren't
3:39
flashy like that. Instead, they were more like Walt Garrison with leather.
3:44
Yeah. I just love that. There's still a footage of and I love
3:46
when they you know, they're talking about him and you just see name on
3:50
this island, a fur coat, just smoking a cigarette during the switch of
3:53
like during the position switch. I was like, this is a this is
3:58
fantastic. But that's that's let's go back to that. I want to see
4:00
more of that. You want to go go back to the days where they're
4:05
signing bonus. How they got a key free agent was they gave him a
4:09
horse trailer as a signing bonus. I got that. That's two wal Garrison
4:15
references in the first five minutes. Make you rest in peace. Yeah,
4:19
but I heard something about the story. There's one hundred million dollar he filed
4:23
one hundred million dollar. I didn't read the whole article, So if you'll
4:26
tell me what that, I'd be happy to share it with you. Dallas
4:30
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has filed a civil lawsuit and also filed a criminal report
4:36
good on his part, against a woman who has accused him of sexual assault
4:42
and demanded one hundred million dollars in exchange for not reporting the alleged incident to
4:46
police. Prescott filed his suit against the woman, named Victoria, and her
4:51
lawyers on Monday. Lison Prosper confirmed a WFAA Channel eight that it received a
4:58
reported attempted theft by coercial and filing on Monday as well. Tuesday afternoon,
5:03
Dallas Police confirmed to Channel eight that they received the criminal report filing from the
5:08
accuser and are investigating. The accuser told w FAA exclusively, I was just
5:17
scared of what he could do, if he could ruin my life, if
5:20
I could get fired from where I was working. I don't know him,
5:24
I don't know what he's capable of, but I know he's a big time
5:27
football player, and I know what's happening now is exactly what I was afraid
5:30
of. Victoria says she's received numerous threats and attacks since coming forward with her
5:34
story, you say things like I could never that could never be me.
5:38
I would fight back and all this stuff, but you don't know until it
5:41
happens to you and you're put in that position, she said. Dak,
5:44
on the other end, has denied all of these allegations against him, calling
5:47
Victoria's story completely fabricated. In a press release detailing the suit they filed on
5:54
their client's behalf, Dak's lawyers say the All Pro quarterback is the victim of
5:59
an extortion plot and deny the allegations that he's sexually assaulted the woman in question,
6:03
calling it a completely fabricated Sorry now, Victoria's attorney, in response to
6:08
Monday's news doubled down on the allegations. The lawyer said Prescott is a liar
6:14
and a rapist. That's what he said in a statement two Channel eight late
6:17
Monday night. In the alleged letters sent to Prescott's legal team and included Monday's
6:24
court filings, the woman's legal team alleged that Prescott sexually assaulted her honor about
6:30
February second, twenty seventeen, after the end of Prescott's NFL rookie season.
6:35
So it's been a while. According to the statement released by Dak's attorneys,
6:42
mister Prescott, a new father to a baby girl that's them, including this,
6:46
not me, has great empathy for survivors of sexual assault. He fervently
6:49
believes that all perpetrators of such crime should be punished to the fullest extent of
6:53
the law. To be clear, mister Prescott has never engaged in any non
6:57
consensual sexual conduct with anyone that's from his camp. Letter states the woman in
7:01
Prescott became acquainted through her job. He invited her to hang out after talking
7:04
on Snapchat. When the two eventually met up, the letter states, Dak
7:08
picked the woman up and planed while accompanied by two members of his entourage and
7:11
a couple of additional female friends. Basically, this is all going back and
7:15
forth to say it's a he said, she said, uh, she's making
7:17
a claim. He's saying no, it's not, and they're both doubling down
7:21
on like she's doubling down on her claim with her attorney and he and his
7:26
attorneys are doubling down on their denial of the initial claim. So basically,
7:33
the biggest free agent acquisition for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason is yet another lawsuit,
7:41
doesn't she say? In the very beginning of that, she says,
7:43
I don't know him. I think what she means is I don't know him.
7:46
Well I don't, I don't. I don't think she's trying to claim
7:49
that she did. She doesn't know him period. Oh got I think she's
7:54
just saying I don't know him. Well, oh don't know what he's capable
7:57
of. Is that what they're trying to say? Yeah, yeah, gotcha.
8:00
So basically, they met hung out one time. She doesn't know him,
8:03
but she's claiming these things happened, which those things could be true,
8:07
but obviously we don't. Yeah, that'll be interesting because it it does feel
8:18
like that, like he came out exceptionally strong on that. It almost like
8:26
so strong his response is so strong, and you go, yeah, he
8:30
hoping just to get her to shut up, you know, and now now
8:35
what, Well, here in lies the stickiness of these situations. We're analyzing
8:43
how how how fervently he denies yeah, and we we pick apart these things
8:50
in the court of public opinion like crazy. One of the first thoughts I
8:56
have upon reading the story is, and a lot of people do this,
9:01
but people have their reasons. Is why now, why are you saying this
9:05
thing happened? I mean we're talking what you think that seven years ago?
9:09
Why now that's on her side? On his side, Trey, you bring
9:13
up an interesting point, is he overly aggressively denying it. So it's like
9:20
you have to find the sweet spot of denying it, and she has to
9:22
find the sweet spot of accusing it. And at the end of the day,
9:26
we have no effing clue. And this is what makes these cases so
9:30
goddamn difficult, not only in the court of public opinion, but in the
9:35
real court. Well, and off flip sides and now go on the other
9:41
side and go Yeah, the timing is very suspicious, especially considering, you
9:46
know, they're talking about him restructuring a contract that would make him probably be
9:52
the largest contract in the NFL history, definitely make him the highest paid quarterback
9:58
for a minute, and you know, and he obviously wasn't that She's done
10:03
that right now, and Hope probably hopes that, you know, he'll want
10:07
it to go away, and the Cowboys wanted to go away before they close
10:13
the deal. Yeah, and you know, the timing suspiciousness of it.
10:16
You're right, she wasn't making these claims when he you know, wash at
10:22
the end of his rookie season on a fourth round uh pick contract. Yeah.
10:28
So that's why these things, like I said, that's why this is
10:33
sticky. That's why these situations are analyzed to death. And you know,
10:39
you can read through the claims, whether it's the woman's claims or Dak's claims
10:45
of denial, and ultimately you just don't know. Now I will say this,
10:50
her claim says, Okay, there's there were other people around. I
10:54
don't think Dak has or his camp have denied that they met. I think
10:58
they're just basic saying now this it's not happening the way that she says it
11:03
did. And she's saying there were other people there that at that point,
11:07
then you got to go talk to these yeah, supposed witnesses and see what
11:11
they say about it. Yeah. I mean, it's just one of those
11:16
I don't put you. I mean, they need like you know, how
11:20
they teach in college. They teach athletes that are going to go pro,
11:24
like they teach them how to talk in front of camera and like the talking
11:26
that's why you always hear the same like you know, we gave it one
11:28
hundred percent. It's a team effort. You always hear the keywords. I
11:31
also need to teach a class like don't put yourself in situations like this because
11:37
this can't happen now because we're super as. It wasn't like this in the
11:41
past, but we're a very re litigious, presumptive society now, so now
11:46
it's you know, you can, you can make allegations towards anybody and file,
11:50
and then the it's the aftermath. It's the nobody cares about her.
11:56
If she and if it's real, then God got God bless her for it.
11:58
You know. I hope she finds justice. But it's one of those
12:01
things like when they go, okay, you know, I recan't my story,
12:05
this didn't actually happen. Nobody cares about that part that gets buried,
12:07
you know, way back at the back of the newspaper, these allegations that
12:11
come up front. I just disagree with you on your premise that this is
12:16
a new concept. I mean, this isn't this this especially a year on
12:20
the Cowboys. This is Cowboys one oh one. I mean, go back
12:22
to the nineties. I mean, there are a lot of women who who
12:26
who made a pretty good payday and there's no you know, no one knows
12:31
whether it was true or false, but I'm gonna assume there's some falsehoods in
12:33
the in nobody wanted to say. It's like nobody's going through. Nobody went
12:39
to the extreme of getting multiple lawyers and high like one hundred million dollar lawsuits.
12:46
Uh, these guys, you know, some some talking about in the
12:48
nineties, I never heard of one. So if you if you have reference
12:50
Michael Irvin, I believe faced a couple that were, yeah, that were
12:54
big, big time like big number lawsuits. Yeah, And I don't remember
13:00
with Michael Irvin. And the thing was, though, that was at a
13:05
time when it was rarer for us to hear about these things. It was
13:13
rarer. Sorry, I'm overemphasizing that because I have a hard time saying that
13:16
word. It's a lot of art. It was less frequent back then for
13:20
a woman to come forward. It still is infrequent today for it to happen.
13:24
But yeah, it does seem like more do come forward with these allegations.
13:31
And part of the reason in legitimate cases and they don't come forward is
13:35
because they get run through the ringer and they're basically said you're lying when they
13:43
may not be. And once again the flip side. And this is what
13:46
makes these situations so difficult to navigate, is there are instances where you've had
13:50
an accuser who's made something up just trying to hit a payday, and so
13:56
it really just leaves these extremely murky waters were all left going well, I
14:01
don't know now. Dak's attorney did say to Channel eight that there was a
14:09
relationship with the woman, but he denies doings. But he denies doing the
14:13
things she alleges. Dak's attorney says she was a waitress at a bar he
14:16
frequented. She came out one night with a group of friends, met mister
14:20
Prescott, then spend anivny evening where they went to numerous locations. The lawyer
14:26
said Prescott remembers going out with her, but said he did not have sex
14:28
with her. He was a single guy at the time, and I would
14:33
call it a makeout session. That's, according to the attorney, that the
14:35
lawyers don't often say that. The lawyer also said Dak and the woman div
14:39
did have interactions for a few years, and they would have amicable interactions when
14:43
they would see each other. He said this is completely out of the blue.
14:46
He didn't remember at first who this was. He had to dig it
14:50
up, but he said, oh, yes, I remember her. Another
14:54
attorney representing Dak, Jennifer Falk, she is a former prosecutor who handled sex
14:58
assault cases for nearly eighteen years, says, I come into every case with
15:03
kind of that lens to believe her, because that is what we should be
15:07
doing socially, she said. But the moment I was brought into this case
15:09
and the moment I read the demand letter, it gave me great concern.
15:15
Fox said these types of cases, which she called an extortion attempt on a
15:18
high profile local kind of hero in the community, undermined the progressive society,
15:24
or actually they should say undermines the progress society has made to believe victims,
15:30
which goes back to that thing that we were kind of mentioning as far as
15:33
like, well he used to be a woman would come forward and it was
15:37
immediate victim blaming. Well, that's your fault. Now it's more like,
15:39
well maybe it wasn't, and we should be looking at these actions from all
15:43
perspectives. Yeah, I just so the wording is weird, right, Like
15:48
he had multiple interactions for years, but then couldn't remember, like I mean,
15:52
I don't I mean, I don't know how many guys well those interactions.
15:56
And again I'm putting words in people's mouths. But when he says interactions,
16:00
that doesn't necessarily mean that they were physically together in the same room.
16:03
That means that could have been a text. A text could be an interaction,
16:07
and he could say, like the attorney comes and says, hey,
16:11
we got this claim from some lady that says you sexually assaulted her, that
16:14
says she won't go file a criminal complaint if you give her one hundred million
16:19
dollars. Do you know who this is? At which point he's like no,
16:23
And then he probably does what a lot of us do when you get
16:26
a weird phone call. You type in the phone number, or you type
16:29
in a name, and oh, yeah, yeah, that I know this
16:32
person. It's from this place. Yeah, And then he goes back to
16:33
the roof and maybe sees, because your our phones can do this these days
16:37
without having to contact the phone company, you can see prior to text exchanges
16:42
and things, so or like a mentions here though they apparently were talking on
16:48
Snapchat at the time. So I mean there's all these different possibilities, so
16:52
an interaction doesn't necessarily mean that was a hook up. It could just be
16:56
you know, a thumb emoji. Let the greater lesson here be. If
17:00
you have a bar that you like going to, don't try and bang the
17:06
staff. It doesn't play out, thank you. It's just a bad idea.
17:11
You don't ding girls, and no, don't that You're right. You
17:18
do not get your pen in company ink, and you do not put your
17:22
dick where you drink. I don't know what the second half of that phrase
17:25
should be, but it's something along those lines, and at least at least
17:27
it rhymed. Uh but yeah, when when when things are good in a
17:32
certain place that you frequent be at work, drinking, establishment, library,
17:36
whatever it is, library, jeez, Okay, don't don't mess it up
17:41
by screwing the people that work there or that or or also frequent that place,
17:45
because then you're just going to ruin that place. Right as you actually
17:49
you're you're thinking, you know, a place with books, he said that.
17:52
I was thinking the bar, Yeah, they'll I was for a while.
18:02
Yeah, there was one in Austin too, I remember. That was
18:06
the whole thing is like, uh, you know, your dad would call,
18:08
you know, with the credit card thing and like you know what is
18:10
this, Like, hey, I was at the library. It's just a
18:12
lot of book fees. So that's what that was. But no, and
18:17
then and that's when the dad looks up the fine print of the bill and
18:18
the dad asks the kid is like, really, there's a a lot of
18:22
redheaded sluts at the library. I went to south West Texas. So yes,
18:30
no, that's a lie. They were never at the library. Whatever
18:36
it is, you got to tell your parents when the credit card. Yeah,
18:40
I just uh yeah, you're one hundred percent right. Just don't.
18:44
I mean, I've there's a couple of bars that I would I would I
18:48
jokingly say, like lost in the divorce because when the breakup would happen,
18:52
I'm like, well that's her bar. Now I really like that place,
18:53
but that's that's where she goes. And I don't need drama. So yeah,
18:57
I just don't. I mean, And just don't put yourself in situations
19:00
like this, Like you know who you are, Like you're very aware that
19:03
you are the leader of the Dallas Cowboys and anything any slip up can cost
19:08
you. Anything that you do, any what could be perceived as a come
19:15
on or you know whatever like that. You know, if it was a
19:18
makeout session, then you guys did it all the time, and then this
19:19
time she just didn't want to and you're like, oh, no, we
19:22
do this all the time. I mean, whatever the situation is, and
19:25
we don't know, we'll find out when it goes to or if it ever
19:26
goes to court, but you just don't. I mean, I've on a
19:30
small scale just being a comic, like I've had many many of a woman
19:36
like like, can I come back to your room? Absolutely not, because
19:38
there's nobody else there but me. No, we're not doing that. And
19:41
I just that was never my style anyway. But no, like I always
19:45
kept it. If we're going to hang out, we're gonna do it in
19:47
front of all, you know, all the audience that I invite out after
19:49
shows wherever we go, we'll keep it there. But yeah, they're just
19:52
not I'm just not gonna put myself in a situation where you can ruin everything.
19:56
So yeah, And it's also very difficult because I don't know how you
20:02
were in your early twenties, Raj, but I know I was not of
20:06
the soundest mind we're all approaching this weak. We remember your first wife,
20:12
Dan, she was a sweetheart, trust betray she was not the problem.
20:22
Okay, maybe that's what you meant. So anyway, the we're approaching this
20:33
as reasonable men of a certain age with a certain amount of wisdom. Sure,
20:40
and trying to reason with a twenty two year old soon to be millionaire
20:45
athlete. And look, it's hard to reason with a regular twenty one year
20:51
old, let alone one of a certain status. So I get it.
20:56
You need someone in the car, are with you saying hey, Dak,
21:00
don't touch that before you do. Sign this agreement that says she that here's
21:07
a consent form, have her sign this record something on a on a on
21:12
a video like, hey, do you want to get on with Dak Prescott?
21:15
Yes? I do. And now now you've got, you know,
21:17
some evidence to help out your boy or and if she says no, then
21:22
let's we're out of here. Yeah. Just that it's not Michael Irvan in
21:26
the car. That's uh, yeah, he's not the best character with Dak's
21:32
got to realize those cowboys in the nineties won three Super Bowls. It gave
21:34
them a lot of Yeah, he got away with a lot. Yeah,
21:38
the shine of the Lombardi Trophy is extremely bright, and the bore of those
21:42
you collect, Yeah, the blinder the masses become to whatever else you're doing
21:48
behind them. Yeah, for sure, that's the that's the the forgiveness.
21:53
It's just really weird as a society, Like if you think about it,
21:56
like the forgiveness that we give athletes, Like everybody's like last season, like
22:00
everybody marveled how well Tyreek Hill was doing with the Dolphins. I'm like,
22:04
do you guys remember when he kicked the lady in the face when he was
22:07
a Kansas City Do you guys remember that part? Like we just we just
22:10
forgot about it because he can run fast, Okay, I just want to
22:12
I just want to remind you, Like he dropped kicked the lady in the
22:15
face, just f y and then his high school is college, Like he
22:18
got kicked off OSU his football team for beating up his girlfriend. I'm like,
22:23
dude, do we forget about this part? Nice? He's really fast,
22:27
Yeah, but he punched the ship out of somebody. It was a
22:30
woman. Uh. There there are two things that will enact revisionist history m
22:37
HM. And what I mean by that is, if you win enough mm
22:41
hmm, or if you die, people have a tendency to forgive a lot
22:49
of the ills that you committed when you were alive. Yeah, there's something
22:56
about like if you go, you go win a bunch of games, you
22:59
win some trophies, or or you die, people have that sympathy for you.
23:04
Then if you die. Uh so, it's like it's like two sides
23:08
of the coin on wonder. You're like, Oh, you're such a great
23:11
champion that it's okay he hates he got a couple of mistakes, or oh
23:15
he's dead, I feel really bad for him, even if he was just
23:18
an awful human being for a good chunk of his life, or or if
23:23
or if they're on like the last year of a very long, great career
23:29
that seems that seems to be it makes everyone forget, whether it was Kobe
23:33
or Dale, Earnhardt or all these people when when they're on that that last
23:37
like everyone people hated him, but then it's like there's this nostalgia and they're
23:41
like, oh my god, they're the greatest. We all love them.
23:42
Let's have a farewell tour. Yeah, I mean it's it's yeah, it's
23:47
amazing, like you know, the big send off for Ben Roethlisberger. And
23:49
I'm like, well, they you guys, remember we forget about that part.
23:55
You we're skipping over apart. We're reading the book, but we're skipping
24:00
eleven. Okay, I got Yeah, there's there's one person in the crowd
24:03
that is actually happy to see his ass go out the door. Yes,
24:07
or many many people that were very happy the same thing. Like we said,
24:11
Kobe Bryant's like always like, oh my god, he just what a
24:14
tragedy. I'm like, everybody forget about Colorado. Then we missed that part,
24:18
Like what part are you reading over? It is? It is very
24:22
possible again and that and that's one of the great examples of situations like this.
24:26
If he said, she said, and that one went to trial.
24:27
Yeah, but somewhere Kobe's accuser wasn't so broken up that his helicopter crashed.
24:36
Yes, that is. I'm sure I'm not saying that that she welcomed it.
24:40
All the other people that died with him, including his daughter and stuff,
24:42
but I'm sure on some levels he's like malo karma. Yeah, it's
24:47
just and it was funny like that that whole situation like, that's what that's
24:49
what caused the beef between him and Shack is because I don't know if you
24:52
guys read this part, but in the interrogation he Kobe Bryant, you know,
24:56
he just didn't know any better in that situation. He's like, okay,
25:00
so how much do you have to pay her? And the arrestings?
25:03
Like what are you talking about? He goes, Shaq does this in every
25:06
city. He just pays him off. And he says this, It's like
25:10
it's in the transcript. He's like, Shack does this in every city,
25:11
So what do I? Like, do I have to pay? Have to
25:14
pay her as much as he pays And so that's when that came out,
25:17
which caused Shack to get divorced. Yeah, so that's where there was all
25:21
this bev and animosity. But he just didn't know any better. So he
25:23
was like, Okay, cool, I'm an athlete, so I did this?
25:27
How much? How much do I gotta shell out? And not only
25:30
that, but Shaq won enough of the shiny trophies to distract enough people to,
25:34
you know, to where now he can run Papa John's. But Papa
25:37
John himself said a few things that you really shouldn't have and he got shown
25:41
the door. Yeah, but I'm kind of he said the guy was smarmy
25:48
anyway, like you could tell, like even in the commercials, I'm like,
25:51
yeah, I bet he uses the N word Like that's like you just
25:56
look like he's spelling it out with the Pepperoni. I thought you were gonna
26:02
say black Hollers, but you went Pepperoni. But I like to be a
26:07
little not obvious. Yeah, but when that came out, like you know,
26:11
Papa John used the N word in the conference, call him like it's
26:15
one of those things where we go, yeah, anybody's about this. I
26:21
feel like I feel like all the leagues need to just like go back,
26:26
like Wilt Chamberlain's got to be going, what the fuck are y'all doing?
26:37
Y'all can't find bitches willing to do this? You know. You know why

27:26
recently a headline where a man was referred to as Pickleman. The origin story
27:30
not so great, it's because he stuck his head in Nevada pickles, but
27:33
still the headline Pickleman, and I immediately thought, oh my god, if
27:37
there was a superhero that could steal my wife away from me, it wouldn't
27:41
be Batman, It'd be Pickleman, because that's how much she loves pickles.
27:45
Is there a superhero that might steal you away from your colby? It would
27:49
have to be a combination of I want Deadpool's humor, but in like one
27:55
of the Batman with nipples bodies. I love the Batman with nipples jen like
28:00
Timeline For me, though it's it's Val Kilmer, like I love that Val
28:07
Kilmer, like that region of his career, those years where he's Tombstone Batman
28:14
the Saint. So I want Val Kilmer Batman, and I want his like
28:18
sweetness, but I want the Deadpool humor justushed into one and I got to
28:22
tell you. This is a broad statement for all men. All men,
28:25
go watch The Saint to a certain degree. I think that's what every woman
28:27
wants. We want somebody that's a protector, but we want there to be
28:30
a sense of adventure. I also commend that film for doing something no other
28:36
film I don't think is ever done. A nuclear physicist wearing knee socks and
28:40
being taken seriously. And the other thing was Val Kilmer's The Saint made driving
28:45
a Volvo look cool. He could have done anything I think in that movie
28:48
and made it cool. But it's Val Kilmer. So this is why I
28:51
want Batman with nipples. Val Kilmer, you know, to come fistfight Colby,
28:56
and you're just be sitting on the sideline eating some popcorn. I don't
28:59
cheer for both of them. I don't know who I want to win.

29:26
a spring breaker? Dan, I was a big time spring breaker when I
29:30
was young. I tell you what. My junior and senior year and me
29:37
and three other guys drove down to South Padre Island and in that time,
29:41
that was like one of the most popular places in the United States to have
29:48
spring break. Matter of fact, MTV had a stage set up on the
29:52
beach. We stayed at the Radison one year, right outside from where that
29:57
stage was. It was just like, I don't know how to explain it.
30:02
I mean, this little bitty island that you probably doesn't have more than
30:06
five hundred people that live there, all of a sudden got twenty thousand kids
30:10
coming into it within like a two week span, and it was just insanity.
30:14
You're staying up until five or six o'clock in the morning, you go
30:17
home and take a nap, and then you get up the next day and
30:19
you're out on the beach by noon and it's just you start drinking. You
30:23
don't stop. It's like, if you stop being drunk, you will not
30:27

33:07
he went made sure he brought an attorney with him. So that's that's that's
33:10
smart. That's how you do it. That was his threesome, the Chamberlain
33:15
threesome, me, you and my attorney. He should have written a book
33:23
Is Easy ten Thousand Ways by Will Tremblin. Yeah. And then there's no
33:36
context. There's no story to that, to that book. It's just documents
33:39
with signatures. It's just be send forms. That's it. The longest book
33:45
in history. It's a good read. It's a really good read. It
33:50
goes quick. New York Times bestseller, tell you right? All right?
33:58
Uh I mentioned it yesterday, and this might be one of the stupidest stories
34:07
we've come across in quite some time. And that's saying a lot for us.
34:12
I was about to say that those are very very strong words. Yeah.
34:15
So Trey found the story and sent it along and we'll see, you
34:24
know how those you know we were just talking about, like Dak Prescott and
34:28
his accuser, Kobe his accuser, Roethlisberger his I mean, so here we
34:32
have the story of another accuser. But this is not of a famous athlete
34:38
or anything like that. This is this is from an accuser who had a
34:44
wild uber ride. Okay, okay, yeah, Anderson, Indiana. Court
34:50
documents revealed that an Anderson woman's uber ride to the pharmacy started off strange when
34:55
her driver asked her to drive instead of him. Okay, and that's not
35:08
even close to be the weirdest part. It's not now, Okay, it's
35:15
just the tip of the iceberg. Court documents revealed that an Anderson woman's uber
35:19
ride to the pharmacy started off strange when her driver asked her to drive instead
35:24
of him. Going along with it, the situation worsened when he reportedly began
35:30
to fondle her from the back seat. Okay, and now, a thirty
35:35
year old Indianapolis man is charged with one count of sexual battery along with the
35:39
misdemeanor count of battery. According to documents, the woman ordered an uber because
35:44
she needed to head to CVS and pick up her medication. The woman said
35:46
her uber ride started bizarrely straight off the bat when the man, who was
35:50
reportedly deaf and has an intellectual disability, handed the woman his phone with a
35:55
message on it asking her to drive. The woman told police She knew it
36:00
was odd and not allowed by Uber, but she decided to go along with
36:04
it because she really needed to get to the pharmacy and didn't want to wait
36:07
around for another Uber driver, as there are few of them in Anderson,
36:10
Indiana now. While driving to CVS, the man reportedly kept trying to show
36:15
her messages on her phone. Some of the messages were inappropriate, so just
36:20
telling her the size of his penis and seemingly asking for a hand job.
36:23
Hmm. I like to point out this is the first time of the history
36:28
of my news director career that I've ever seen the word hand job in an
36:30
actual news article. Yeah, The woman said. At one point, he
36:37
reached his hand under her shirt and grabbed her breast, causing her to slap
36:39
his hand away and nearly drive off the road. The woman said she kept
36:44
showing the man her wedding ring, telling him she's married, but he only
36:47
mouthed how much. According to court records, the woman how much? How
36:53
much is how much? Uh? I don't know if he's asking her like
36:58
how much to do this? Or like how much? Are you married?
37:00
I don't know. According to court records, the woman decided to pretend she
37:05
found his antics hilarious in order to trick him into letting her take a photograph
37:08
of him, along with taking photographs of some of the messages he was showing
37:12
her, including one that said, how to hand job Now, I'd like
37:16
to point out this, in my long career as a news director in the
37:21
radio industry, this is the most hand jobs I have seen in any news
37:24
article in my career. Two times, Dan, it really is, and
37:30
I give them credit. Sometimes they leave out these specifics, you know,
37:34
for you know, the sake of well it's a little dirty. Well,
37:37
these are facts either facts of the case. This is what this woman is
37:39
claiming. Where we're adults, we can we can handle it in the in
37:45
THEI end of ahead of their time. After picking up her prescription, the
37:51
man reportedly reached forward, daring the drive back to her home, and then
37:54
groped her between the legs over the top of her pants. Okay, I'm
38:07
thinking, in the replay of this on YouTube, if I can somehow get
38:12
a computer generated light bulb to go off over Raj's head, I'm gonna do
38:15
that. She into into getting all the evidence, and then it was like,
38:23
hey, can you drop me back off? After suffering the assault to
38:32
CVS, she decided to let the assault her drive back home. Uh huh
38:38
uh shoo shooter of herself back home. I bad, You're right, this
38:47
is okay. Yeah, it's getting weird, isn't it. Uh. Police
38:52
Police later spoke to the man, who denied ever touching the woman and said
38:55
he was respectful. He did admit to writing the inappropriate messages, but claimed
39:01
he was just joking around. The man's guardian. I'm going to say that
39:07
again for the people in the back. The man's guardian told police he suffers
39:13
from an intellectual disability, cerebral palsy and frontal lobe syndrome in addition to being
39:19
deaf, and said the man doesn't always know right from wrong and thinks some
39:23
things are funny that are not funny to normal people. That's her saying that.
39:30
And he's an Uber driver yeah now inter Uber Uber stated that the man
39:37
has been removed from their platform, calling his allegations deeply disturbing. We take
39:40
all reports of sexual misconduct very seriously and remove the driver's access to the Uber
39:45
platform as soon as it was reported to us. Despite the man having several
39:47
disabilities that could potentially hinder his ability to safely drive. Investigators did not mention
39:54
the man having no driver's license or being suspended from driving. Oh my god,
40:00
Indiana or in India Indiana, Okay, because this sounds very India.
40:07
Uber's website simply states that anyone who is legally able to drive can apply to
40:10
drive with Uber. If convicted, the man could face between six months and
40:14
two and a half years in prison on a level six felony. Wow,
40:19
so let me just surmise all of this for us again. Yes, there's
40:24
a woman. She needs to pick up her prescriptions from CBS, so she
40:28
calls an Uber. The uber shows up and says, hey, would you
40:30
mind driving? She decides okay, I'll drive, and while she's driving,
40:32
he fondles her from the back seat and, trying not to alarm her alleged
40:38
attacker, she tries to take photos of him, so she has evans for
40:42
the police and then reaches the destination of CVS and while inside the relative safety
40:47
of the pharmacy, she retrieves her prescriptions and gets back in the same car
40:52
with the Uber attacker and drives herself back home. Don't okay, don't you
41:02
have to like? When? When? When you get to the destination of
41:05
CBS, don't they stop the ride there, and then you get the alert
41:08
on your phone says you, oh, Hansy McGillicuddy a couple bucks, and
41:15
then you have to get an Uber again, not necessarily because now you can
41:20
add stops. Okay, Now I've never done this, but I'm assuming you
41:23
could. Like if you wanted to, say, you know, go to
41:28
the library, you could your destination's library. But and then you order the
41:32
uber, but then you're like, oh, I need to stop at McDonald's
41:37
for a sandwich first, so then you can add that stop in. Now,
41:39
if you can do that, I'm certain you could have your starting point
41:44
being home and ending back at home. You're just gonna stop at CBS and
41:47
then you're gonna have them wait and take you home and they just like a
41:51
cab, just keep the meater running. Yeah, And I think it's safe
41:53
to assume that the guy with cerebral palsy it's deaf, maybe not, isn't
41:59
doing everything above board on the books. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just you
42:06
know, he was aware of his condition, so he's like, hey,
42:08
can you drive, I'm in no shape. Yeah, that is interesting.
42:14
It's like he is aware that he has challenges, and his guardian is clearly
42:20
aware of it, because the guardian told I'm gonna read this and again in
42:22
the story, the man's guardian told police that he suffers from an intellectual disability,
42:27
cerebral palsy, and frontal lobes syndrome in addition to being deaf. That
42:31
right, there is one, two, three things right there that on their
42:37
own would make you driving on Rhodes dangerous. But he's got three at the
42:42
same time. And he Hey, he made it to her house, so
42:46
thumbs up to him. Yeah he did. But we don't know if there's
42:51
a you know, a string of victims in his wake that got him to
42:55
the house that he also made drive okay. So, Frontal loab syndrome is
43:00
a broad term used to describe the damage of higher functioning processes of the brain,
43:04
such as motivation, planning, social behavior, and language and speech production.
43:07
I know lots of people like that the work in radio speaking of now
43:15
I know this is this might be a troubling situation for many people, especially
43:22
if you've been an actual victim of assault. Yes, and we respect that,
43:28
don't want to make light of that. This particular situation we're going to
43:30
make light of because it's it's a ridiculous story, because how often do you
43:37
You're like, well, you know, yeah, my Uber driver attacked me,
43:39
but there's only so many of them, so I let him let me
43:44
drive us back to my house. To that end, not only did Trey
43:47
find the news article about the wildest Uber ride in the history of Uber,
43:52
but he also found the nine to one one call that the woman placed.
44:00
No, yes, shut up, I will not Okay, what's that,
44:13
raj I said? I said, that's here we go, Anderson, what's
44:22
your emergency? Oh my goodness, ma'am. Are you okay? Are you
44:28
safe right now? Sure? So he was reaching around while he was driving.
44:31
That's so dangerous. He must have been terrified. Okay, tell me
44:37
what happened. Well, I needed to hold and over. When I'm walking
44:40
up to the door, he hands me a note asking your mind. I
44:45
should probably point out that we needed to change the voice of the accuser to
44:52
protect her identity. I guess that probably would have been helpful for me to
44:55
mention at the beginning. So, uh, I'm gonna reap. I'm going
44:59
to restart this, but keep in mind way to change the voice to protect
45:04
the identity of the woman who is accusing the Uber driver of fondling her.
45:08
Sorry, did you say your Uber driver, Hey, here we go Anderson
45:13
ninety one one? What's your emergency? Uber? Oh my goodness, ma'am
45:17
are you okay? Are you safe right now? Sure? So he was
45:22
reaching around while he was driving. That's so dangerous. He must have been
45:27
terrified. Well, it's not exactly, okay, tell me what happened?
45:30
Well, I needed to go throwing allD and Uber. When I walked up
45:34
to the car, he had me a note asking if I were drive.
45:37
I'm sorry. Did you say your Uber driver asked you to drive? And
45:40
that didn't concern you? You know what's right? Share not drive? Share?
45:45
Mm hmm okay, So you're driving the luber to see me as what
45:47
happened next? He was driving me messages on his phone asking for things and
45:52
showing me things. Well, what kinds of things? Like a turn to
45:57
punch ball? You're showing me because we asking me to play with it?
46:00
And he was trying to feel my boobs ma'am. Did you say his wee
46:06
weed? Yes, it was rather small. Oh okay, So what happens
46:08
then? Well, I took some pictures with him when we got to CBS.
46:12
Then I went inside. Okay, so you're at CBS. Okay,
46:15
tell me which one and I'll have units there immediately. No, I'm not
46:19
at CVS. So you had to run from this monster? Oh my goodness.
46:22
Okay, tell me some landmarks and we'll find you. No, I'm
46:24
a home. How did you get home? Carr? Wait, you got
46:28
back in the car with him. He got more aggressive on the way home.
46:31
He even tried to put his fingers in the dirty Believe you know what,
46:35
I hope he's did you right in your hands? Seriously, are you
46:37
a parent? Well, that's just rude. What is your name and badge
46:40
number? Okay, serve and protect very much. Hold on, ma'am.
46:59
All you that shot fired? Officer in danger? Yeah, totally endangered.
47:02
This woman I'm talking to has a gun. It is threatening everybody. Man.
47:07
Do you do marketing for a butt like? No? Do you happen
47:09
to work in radio? Why not? Of the format changes at my heart
47:15
radio? Oh? Okay, you have that explains that you are a special.
47:17
I'll get that called bomb swat. It's your kids to shine. We'll
47:22
get the robots you got a little of Dodge's jersey on it. Given a
47:25
big old box is hit it in this lady's house. You'll either utilize the
47:30
target or you get a mid day show. Either way. What's your aeria?
47:43
