0:57 It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the treehouse. Dan O'Malley along with Trey Trinholm today. And I think, Trey, we might be about to share the most special story we have ever shared here inside the treehouse. That's a bold statement. It truly is. Let's see if it holds up. A forensic scientist says a masturbating man's death was so horrific. She had to run out. Of the room. Okay. Yeah. I'm intrigued. Yeah. When Barbara butcher, first of all, great name for a forensic.

1:41 Yeah. When Barbara butcher was called in to assess the cause of death, the video footage was so graphic. She couldn't bear to watch it all the way. She, uh, has examined more than 5,500 deaths for New York City's Office of Chief Medical Examiner. So she's seen some stuff. Yeah, especially if you're in New York. Yeah, I bet you have. Yeah, she's among America's foremost authorities in forensic science. She's analyzed thousands of fatalities, including 680 homicides.

2:23 For the New York City Medical Examiner's Office. And in a recent interview, she shared that one specific accidental death affected her profoundly. Accidental masturbating death. Okay. You got me hooked on this one. Yeah. This fatality involved a man who was recording himself via a mirror masturbating. and ultimately lost his life when tragedy struck during the activity. I mean, okay, so first thing I think of is autoerotic asphyxiation. Who was the NXS singer?

3:14 Michael Hutchins. Michael Hutchins, yeah, okay. And then the alleged death of David Carradine. Ah, yes, okay. I say alleged because there are some people that think that maybe he gave away too many martial arts secrets or something and then he was murdered. Yeah, because, you know... But made it to look like. Barbara described how the man, believed to be approximately 30 years old, had been trying to film himself engaging in an intimate personal act while on fire. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now, I consider myself somewhat of an expert on this subject of masturbation. Gosh, I've certainly done it a lot.

4:09 Never have I ever thought about filming myself. Never have I ever ever thought about catching myself on fire just in general. Yeah. But certainly not to add some panache to the act. No. It's fun enough without the fire. Yeah. If I'm being honest. Like, look, I don't know when your first time was with yourself, but like most young men, it probably took up the entirety of your day. Like, once you realize, you're like, oh, oh, oh, oh! The door got shut, it got locked, and you were in there the rest of the damn day.

5:06 Right? Yep. Not once on that magical day did I ever think, I wonder what it would be like doing this while on fire. First of all, days, plural, I believe. Well, yeah. First figured out, you know, but. Yeah, not. Not then, not in my twenties, not over, over 25 years of alcoholism where I thought and did some really stupid shit. Never have I ever, again, never have I ever thought about catching myself on fire period. I on worst ways to die. That is the, that is the, And there's not, everything else is a very distant second.

5:51 But when you come to catching on fire, that's got to be the worst way. Yeah. And again, never have I ever wanted to, you know, think I needed some to be flamboyant in my masturbation and, you know, put on a Vegas style act. Flame. Yeah. Flame. Flare bartending? Flare jerking off? You know what? Straightforward's fine. I don't need theater. I don't need... I. Don't need the double entendre of cocktail.

6:38 So, Barbara described how the man, believed to be approximately 30 years old, had been trying to film himself engaging in an intimate personal. Act while on fire. Something, Barbara speculated, may have been for his own later viewing. I guess they don't know if he was doing, they don't know ultimately if this is for himself or he was going to share this with others. Like, ha ha, look at this, look at what I did. She says, though, the one that bothered me, though, was Setting oneself on fire, she says, so this guy I think is about 30 years old. He set up a mirror and a camera so that he could watch himself on fire whilst masturbating and filming it.

7:24 For what? She just assumed his later pleasure. After reviewing the video evidence herself, she was able to detail exactly how the fatal accident occurred as well as identify the moment she believed everything went disastrously wrong. She says, so he poured alcohol on himself and lit it. Now, alcohol burns off very quickly. It's like a blue flame running across your arms. And he probably would have survived if he hadn't added more alcohol when there was still flame around the back of his neck. It was in his hair and he caught on fire completely. However, this was not the end of the man's ordeal. In his frantic state, he knocked the bottle over onto the ground, escalating the crisis and subsequently forcing her to respond while observing the scene. She says, and then he spilled the alcohol, so the rug he was standing on, a little shag rug that caught on fire, and he was burning, and this is all captured on film. She said, I saw the beginning of that film, and when the accident started, when he dropped the alcohol, I ran out of the room like, this is too awful. Despite all that she's observed during her professional career analyzing deaths, she maintained it

8:57 ranked among the most disturbing fatalities she'd ever experienced. She says, it's one of the awfulest deaths I've ever seen. He was beating at himself, like trying to put it out, but it didn't work. She's also assuming that he's beating at himself trying to put it out, or maybe he's just feverishly trying to finish before he's cooked. I mean, was he running around screaming, my legs, my legs, I can't feel my legs. I was saying, my junk, my junk, I can't feel my junk. Yeah, Punchy the Clown. Um.

9:40 That's a deep reference for the listeners that have been around for a while. Oh yeah, absolutely. Uh, I, I mean, yeah, that, that is, uh, I want to feel bad for the guy, but honestly, if, if masturbation isn't enough and you feel like you need to put on a show, uh, you should, uh, possibly go to Vegas, uh, or, uh, yeah, be more careful. That's, uh, you need a, you need a buddy.

10:22 Or a fire extinguisher nearby, it sounds like. That also would be smart. I've got one of those blankets over my stove that you can fire blankets. It seems like that might have come in handy. Handy. There's many things, I'm sure, in hindsight that he would have liked to have done so as not to kill himself while masturbating. But he just didn't do these things. So he's dead now. I, as I say that sentence out loud, it makes me think, okay, is that how, if this guy was my friend, how I would choose to eulogize him? Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today.

11:12 I wish I had this guy's name. I mean, I know it's, it's not right for her to do that. I'm sure it's not ethical or whatever, but just his first name. I just want to know what this guy's for. No, I want to, I want to Jack, Jack, we come here today to remember our friend, Jack. I mean, how do you, cause everyone at everyone at the funeral is going to know what happened, right? I mean, how do you, I mean, that's a, I'm sure his parents, you know, people were like, you know, they get this cruise and you have to find out that your son just shot straight out to the top of the Darwin Awards.

12:09 On one hand, he died too soon, but on the other, he went out on top. Yeah. he lasted for too long. I, I, I can't, I mean, again, and it's, I guess maybe it's typical, you know, Gen Z, they, they can't just, you know, take tradition and run with it. They've got to put their own flair with it. You got to put their own twist on it. Uh-huh. And, uh, Well, here's the thing. We don't know if this is Gen Z. Like the guy that did this, she said she thinks it was around 30 years old.

12:53 But we don't know when this happened. This was at some point in her long career. We just don't know when it was. But I will tell you, you are correct. This absolutely gives Gen Z vibes. But I mean, look, we all have idiots in our specific generations. There's no doubt about that. We do, but, uh, you know, again, the older fellas, uh, the worst thing they did was try to choke themselves while jerking off. Yeah, really? Like, I wonder if this would be better if I held my breath.

13:33 The, it is interesting though, because like the only fire that, the only time I've ever been concerned about catching myself on fire while spanking it was just because if I was going at it too, too much and without any sort of lubricant, it's like, I'm a little raw time to time to take a break. Yeah. I don't, in my long illustrious career of masturbation, I, I don't think, uh, fire has ever been something I was concerned with. Uh, I'm sure we've all experienced and experimented with different things because it's what you kind of do, but accelerants has never been one, I'm sure.

14:23 I have never been worried about how others would watch me masturbate. I have been petrified that others might watch me masturbate, But never have I ever worried about and thinking I need to put on a show to make it more pleasing for the viewing audience. Well, that also brings up another important element of this, which is you are going to be involved in the act of self-love and you want to do something to amplify the act in some way. Think to yourself. Remember this guy. Remember Jack. I want you to remember Jack and think. This thing that I'm adding into this activity, could it possibly kill me? And if so, am I okay with accepting the consequence of that masturbation-related death and everyone I know or have ever known knowing about it?

15:26 Not to mention the first responders that got to come witness it. Because they're all going to tell all their friends and family about it. You know, if you don't leave a video recording behind, then I guess your death would have been somewhat mysterious. But in the future, before one resorts to adding fire to their masturbation show, why don't you... How about a confetti cannon? That's a good idea. Start small. Yeah, I mean, let's see how that looks. Some glitter. Yeah, glitter vomit. Sure. Uh-huh. You don't have to get a stick of dynamite and light the fuse and then see if you can beat it, literally, before it blows you up.

16:20 You could do that, but it's confetti instead of TNT. Yeah. I mean, just little switches here and there that make it not so life-threatening. If your masturbation kit is brought to you by Acme... Perhaps you need to look for another vendor. My God, I didn't think about this. This is how Wile E. Coyote dies. Beep, beep.

18:19 Okay. Just simply titled queefed in silent yoga class. First of all, I've never heard of silent yoga. Usually at any yoga classes I've been to, there's not very many of them, but the ones that I've been, it's usually just the instructor talking, telling you what to do and everyone else is pretty quiet. Or there was me in the corner straining and wincing in pain, but otherwise there's not a lot of conversation. Uh, says small rant. I was enjoying my Ashtanga flow the other day when in the end, the instructor told us to go into the candle.

19:01 Okay. As a confident beginner. Do you know what the candle is? No, I do not. Okay. So the candle is, if you're laying on your back, you're going to rock your feet up. So basically at the end of it, there's a couple of, you're, basically on your shoulders and head legs sticking straight up. Like you're, you can support yourself by holding your back. Okay. But yeah, you're kind of like jackknifed and then you can separate legs. Like, you know, so anyways, so you're, uh, she's, she's inverted.

19:49 Thank you. I needed the top. gun reference there to completely understand it. Got it. She's inverted. All right. Thank you. All right. And she says, as a confident beginner, I wanted to try, but when I got in position, I felt it, a big bubble. Of air entering my vag canal. So there I was, Lex up in candle, trying to think of a solution. Walking out and letting the air out in another room was no option, and I knew I would burst the moment I got out of the pose. Embracing it and pumping out the queef in. One loud explosion was another option, but I didn't dare because the class was really silent and there were only three other people there. So what I did was possibly worse.

20:35 LAUGHTER And just when he thought the guy that set himself on fire for jerking it was embarrassed. Oh, at least he, at least he died. So he never knew the embarrassment that went with it. She says, I tried to control my way back out and not queef at all. Of which I soon learned is impossible. So there I was in Savasana letting out three small uncontrollable queefs. Yeah. Then what? Do you leave? Do you say, oops, excuse me? I was too ashamed to do anything. So I froze.

21:19 Then we needed to go into child's pose. And during that transition, the fourth one came out. She says, I finished the class with a 10-step pelvic floor and acceptance that I lost my zen for this class. Then I walked out as if nothing had happened. Namaste. I mean, you know, as someone who has a video that has, I think, 220,000 views on Instagram of doing yoga and farting on their dog, I feel you, sister. I might even argue that if you haven't farted or queefed in yoga, then.

22:01 You ain't done it right. Listen, I have thought about going... to actual yoga classes. Um, and the thing that scares me more than anything else is because when I do yoga, if you've never done yoga is wonderful, but it's great stretching flexibility, but you, it is very easy to let one go. I have no idea what it's like to queef, but I am assuming there's some of the same principles as just letting out a fart. And you are stretching and everything else. And so it's very easy to let one slip. You are in positions that sometimes you can't clinch.

22:46 Especially if you're doing it right. And look, Trey, I don't know what it is like to do that either. But I mean, look, this is one of the other things in life that is just unfair towards women, right? They have a whole additional hole of which air can escape. And so it's basically, it's just a front fart. They have a whole additional hole that is the root of all evil. And noise. But I mean, look, I mean, it makes sense when you think about it. And now we all know that the candle and the candles in yoga class are not there simply for ambience.

23:31 And same with the incense. They serve a purpose, it sounds like. So, I mean, I have questions, but obviously neither one of us are going to be able to answer them because, you know, was this because you're upside down, basically? You know, what happens if you're just in a deep lunge? Does the same thing happen? I don't know, but I do. You know, honestly, especially if it was a class of just other women, and I'm going to guess these things happened. I guess, although the next time my wife asks me if I want to go to yoga, I might say yes.

24:16 And then just get some of those old-timey amplifier things for my ears just to see if I hear any weird noises. Just have your earbuds in and just be recording. Oh, man. Just put some omnidirectional microphones around the room while no one's paying attention. Oh, man. And you know what? So that's probably the reason why the candles are there. That's the reason why occasional incense is burned. That's the reason why there's music just loud enough to where you can't hear the queef across the room. I will say, though, that was one of my biggest concerns. There was like, I don't know, like, you know, like two or three months when I actually went like once a week, went to a yoga class at my gym.

24:58 It's like I went, I did weights and cardio and stuff all week. And on Fridays I would do like a hot yoga thing to just kind of stretch all the week out. Right. My legitimate concern every single week was, am I going to, and how bad is it going to be? Because it's a hot room. So, I mean, it's, I, that is a legitimate concern. The, uh, I found out that the church I go to does free yoga classes. Uh, they have a whole gym and, uh, It's like, all right. And said it's really good. But I am deathly afraid to go because I am afraid something will slip out. Yeah, because now you've queefed in front of God.

25:41 Uh-huh. Yeah. Everyone's going to point and go. That's why he sits alone. Yeah. And not at the right hand. He's in timeout on the left. I know. I know. I was at the corner of the pew. I get it now. Yeah. And especially if just not only it's, it's petrifying enough if you let one go accidentally, but then if it's a, a one that just clears out the room, then it's really, it's that's, that's your worst fear. Although I will say this, there is one class in which you could absolutely let one rip and you'll probably be just fine.

26:29 And that's what that's puppy yoga. Oh yeah. You blame it on the dog. That's right. That wasn't me. That's the Corgi. Lily. Bad girl. Yeah. Uh, All right, today is Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Let's celebrate today with some celebrity birthdays. What do you say? All right, here we go. Oh, here we go. Ozzy Fudd is 24. It's a great name. And she's a really good basketball player. And part of the reason I bring her up isn't just because she's a WNBA star, but because she's Dallas' own WNBA star. She's actually the Dallas Wings' second first-round pick in a row. And also the ex-girlfriend of the previous year's first-round pick, Paige Beckers, when they were at UConn together.

27:31 Yeah, and it's... And, you know, there was the whole stink when they drafted her about, you know, you're drafting a couple... But it turns out they were already broken up, which I found fascinating that they didn't just kill everything on that subject and go, yeah, we're not together anymore. But yet they kept it quiet. Yeah, from a PR standpoint, it's a bit of a pickle because on one hand, you want to protect your players' personal lives. But on the other hand, there's a legitimate, I think, story to be had there. Did you draft this person because... They were the love interest of another draft pick.

28:18 Well, or did it concern you that you're drafting a couple that.... And. That their relationship could easily blow up. But... And that's... Now then you go on the flip side. Is there someone in the PR department that goes, hey, we're going to get a lot of free PR from this. Let's keep it quiet that you're not together anymore. Because that would have immediately just squashed the story. The minute that guy... that asked the question, they'd have gone, yeah, they broke up. Okay. The story's dead. Yeah. Cause if, if I'm, if I'm the director of public relations for the Dallas wings and I know this story is happening, that's then when I need to go to whoever the head of basketball operations or the president is, whoever the owner is, whoever makes the final decisions on things.

29:02 And I need to ask him a very pointed question, which is, uh, do you want more publicity or because as a PR professional, you have two options, right? You either want more publicity or you want to kill the publicity, right? Mm-hmm. So that's when I have to go to my boss and be like, which direction would you like to go? Because I'm happy to do either one. And I can do either one. I can make this go away really, really fast. Or we can draw it out a little bit. We get some more clicks and headlines and interest in the game and the players, blah, blah, blah. Well, if you remember when that happened, it was a national story for a day or two. Uh so you know and and it's a story again because they just went on ozzy's podcast and made it official and announcing that yeah we were broken up in college or something like that i think i saw that story just a few days ago yeah so now that's back in the news cycle so I don't know which way the Dallas Wings handled it internally.

30:04 Officially, they were. Like, we're not talking about the players' professional lives. I don't know what their actual strategy was, but I think it worked out well for everybody. Yeah, I think well played. So happy birthday, Ozzy24. Although I'm really serious trying to think about this is like, could, could I work in a professional setting. With an X? I'd realized this is a very different environment because we're talking sports here versus like the corporate world. And we're also talking about two very young people like Aussies, 24 pagebackers, I'm assuming is like maybe a year older. Yeah. So it's, it's very different date, you know, like working with an X in your twenties versus working with an X in your forties or fifties.

30:53 Well, that is true. The other thing is, and although she doesn't get a lot of attention, Paige Beckers is one of the best players in the league. And big enough that if it ever became a problem, Ozzie has to know she would get booted. Could you work with an ex? Doing what? I'm afraid to know what's going on in your head right now. There's a few. I get what you're saying. The first thought is, yeah, there's a few I could work with, but then it also depends on what the job is.

31:34 Right. I'm with you. I think there's a few I could work with. I mean, I don't really hate any of my exes. Some of my exes may feel differently about me. Okay. Other birthdays today after Ozzy. That was a good one. Uh adam ripon is 37 olympic figure skater and television personality who won dancing with the stars seems almost like cheating doesn't it i mean you're if you're an olympic figure skater and then you go to doing it on ice to then doing it on a dance floor that really feels unfair yeah it's like this is easy the floor doesn't move i got.

32:16 This Sadly, though, if I if you if I had to pick him out of a lineup, I'd be dead. I'd say I have no idea what he looks like. I mean, I said the floor doesn't move, but I mean, you know what I mean? It's like ice versus, you know, not ice. It's kind of like whenever they like a figure skater or a gymnast, anyone like that or just an outright dancer celebrity when they go on Dancing with the Stars, you're like that person is going to win. Like, come on. Like, yeah, you know, it's not going to be Ted Cruz. No. I mean, I have never really kept up with that show. I know, like, Jenna Dewan is on it this year, and she's a former dancer. Like, I don't even know how that's fair.

33:02 Yeah, if she doesn't win, then something's wrong where she just, like, got injured. Well, I mean, but you also have to deal with the fan vote. I remember, I think, Alfonso Ribeiro was, you know, he won it one year, which that wasn't a shocker. He was a dancer as a kid. Yeah. Emmett Smith might've been the biggest. And I think that's not the only time I ever really gave a flying rat's ass about it. And I was, Oh, Cuban did it. So those are two times I even remotely kept up with the show. And other than that, I kept up with it. Didn't watch it. I would just watch a couple of the clips on YouTube. I'll watch a clip or two. If it's someone, you know, I know who they are. And other than that, don't know.

33:46 I don't care. Other birthdays today. Forever butt fumble. Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez turns the big 4-0 today. God, I would have thought he was older than that. I know. But now he's also known as a guy. I think he stabbed a guy last year in a bar fight situation. So, I mean, don't call him butt fumble. At least to his face. Leonardo DiCaprio turns 52. All his girlfriends pretty much the same age. Not as him. Just the same age that he likes to date, which is, what was it like? He had like a 25 rule or something. I don't know if it was made up like the, the, like he doesn't.

34:27 Seem to stick early to mid twenties. It seems like. His wheelhouse, which you talk about having a type. Yeah. Good on you. It's kind of like Wilmer Valderrama back in the day. It's like, if you wanted to make it into Hollywood, you had to stop through Valderrama's bed because he got all the young starlets, man. And then I guess he handed him off to Leonardo after he was done. Then we've also got David DeLuise is 55. Yeah. Also Jerry Russo on wizards of Waverly place. So David DeLuise 55 today. Calista Flockhart from Allie McBeal is 62.

35:10 Well, I mean, Allie McBeal and also married to Harrison Ford. Is she still? Yep. They are still together. Man, that's a name I have not heard in ages. Yeah, she is. As far as I know, I mean, I don't even, is Ally McBeal still on TV? Wait, no, not Ally McBeal. No, definitely not. Sorry, I've got her confused with Ellen Pompeo and Grey's Anatomy. But yeah, no, she did. Ally McBeal was a huge star for a while. Then she was on Brothers and Sisters. I don't really remember that. And then she and Harrison Ford got together, and I don't really remember her in much of anything long after that. Birdcage.

35:51 And that was earlier in her career. I was like, that might have been her first movie. I mean, you know, Ally McBeal, that was a thing for a while. That was a great show. And it also helped resurrect Robert Downey Jr. I never watched that show. I did. I watched it. I just remember, you know, she was GLP-1 skinny before it was a thing. Yeah, she gets to tell everyone first, bitches. Other birthdays today, let's see, Demi Moore turned 64. Still looks solid. Obviously, a lot of work done, but still looks good.

36:34 From Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal, G.I. Jane, The Substance, more recently. What was the one she did that was the stripper? Um, I almost said stripper. Striptease, so not far off. Between her showing her boobs in that movie and being ridiculously fit, you also got Burt Reynolds saying he could feel the lube in between his toes. Best two things of that movie. That's all you needed to know. Stanley Tucci, 66. This is quietly one of my favorite actors. I could not agree with you more. He's phenomenal. If he's in something, I'm curious about it immediately.

37:18 If he's in something, I'll probably watch it because typically he picks some pretty good roles. There's one show, I can't think of, it's like a spy show on Amazon that it's like Citadel, I think is the name of it. It's iffy. And his cooking shows are excellent. It's amazing. He's one of the few Hollywood stars that when he does a cooking something, I'm watching that. between him, Tiffany Amber Thiessen, like I'll watch their cooking or cocktail type stuff. It's like, there was one, like Stanley Tucci went viral for making a fricking sandwich, I think.

38:00 Yeah. It was either that or a cocktail. Like everyone's like, have you tried Stanley Tucci's blah, blah, blah. No, he does. You know, it's like he did a show, but like going through Italy and everything. I mean, yeah, I, I, I love his voice, his delivery and yeah, just, And he kind of flies under the radar, but he is fantastic at pretty much everything he does. Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games. I love him in The Hunger Games movies. The Lovely Bones, Conclave. He really is one of those that's like, if you went through his entire filmography, I don't think there's any role that you've seen him in and been like, eh, he wasn't any good in that one.

38:45 Because even if he was in a bad movie, he was always good in it. Kingsman. There was one, he did a show on, Conclave was good. He did a show on Netflix though. He was kind of a, kind of like a serial killer. Really? Yeah. I'll find it. It was, it was, yeah, he's fantastic.

39:30 What was it? What was it called? Inside man. Inside movie or television show. I want to say it was a, like a, a mini series on Netflix. Yes. Uh, four parts. Um, he's a prisoner and a criminology professor. who solves mysteries from behind bars. It was excellent. Highly recommend. There you go. Stanley Tucci, happy birthday.

40:24 Thank you, Brain, for kicking in. And video, all there. Patreon.com slash Treehouse on air. Speaking of Patreon and doing a podcast that we've been doing now for like four years, it's not every day that we have little problems, but Dre, you had a doozy the other day. I did. It was. So I upload, I edit, upload the podcast, videos, everything. And like you said, we've been doing this for years. This is something at least five times a week I do.

41:08 My internet is one gig up, one gig down. So it's not a bandwidth problem. And the MP3s of the show, we have 60, 70 megabytes, upload in seconds every day. But last week, I'm going through and I'm uploading the show and then I'm working on other things. I come back because then I have to do other things, insert commercials, everything else. And it's giving me an error message. So I delete the show, re-upload it, same thing. All day long.

41:52 So at a certain point, I go to section and I get the AI. Oh, God. And it's telling me, well, it has to be a problem on your end. Like, I'm uploading fine everywhere else. Why just here? I've uploaded two gig files. This should be a simple thing. Know what you're in. Check your connection. My connection's fine. Can I pause you for a second? And ask, was it, so we use StreamYard to record the show. Was it a StreamYard issue or was it our hosting platform issue? It was our hosting platform. Got it. Okay.

42:33 So I'm trying to upload a 66 megabyte file. Okay. So I try another browser problem. And like literally on an upload that normally takes, somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds. At one minute, it's at 1%. And then usually it's getting to about 4% or 5%, and then it's giving me an error message. So back to AI, it says, well, what's the error message? Here it is. Well, that's indicative of a problem on your end. And I'm getting pissed off. You're no help, blah, blah, blah. It's AI, what are you?

43:18 When the robots take over, you're going to be the first to go. So I shut it all down. I restart everything. Try again. Same problem. Go back to AI. And this is now probably five hours later because finally at one point I was like, you know what? I'm just going to walk away from this. Maybe it'll upload at a certain point. I even redid the recording thinking maybe there had been a glitch in the MP3. So And I'm irate. And it's given me the same thing. Well, have you cleared your browser cache? Which is like saying, have you restarted your computer? Yeah.

44:01 At the same time, I don't think my browser cache has ever been the problem. I don't think clearing that has ever fixed anything. So whenever I see that, I just skip over it like that. That's not the case. Yeah. Well, it turns out once I cleared the browser cache, it uploaded just fine. Shut the fuck up. So I just quietly closed out my AI troubleshooting thing and went about my day. That was really the problem. I had no idea. I didn't either.

44:42 The only thing I knew about this story was that Trey had a bitch of a time doing the upload the other day. That's all I knew. Yeah, it was the browser cache. Or maybe it was just free timing. But yeah, the minute I cleared it out, it uploaded just fine. I was like, my browser cache was like 60 megabytes. I'm like, when you have gigs of memory, how is this the issue? But next time, you know, if it tells you to clear your browser cache, go ahead and do it. Might be the problem. I have so many, I was so irate. Cause I'm like, this is the thing. This is, this is like tech support 20 years ago where they're telling you restart your computer, you know, just, I've already done that. Yeah.

45:29 Well, is it, is, is it possible? And like, is like in the cash, does that mean you went to a website you shouldn't have? And the upload, like the, the hosting platforms, like, and you're not, I don't want any of that near this. I, uh, No. I mean, to start with, I use Macs, so typically a lot less viruses and stuff. But I also, I do not, I have one computer dedicated to show, one computer dedicated to work. I do not do anything untowards on either computer. And not that I'm holier than thou, but simply, I've learned from my mistakes over the years.

46:15 Keep it on the phone. I've not gotten one corn-related virus on my phone. I've killed more than a couple laptops, though. Oh, man. Oh, that is hysterical. Thank you for sharing that story with us today. I needed that. Oh man, if you loved what you heard here today, share the show with a friend and together we can grow the Treehouse show. Also keep an eye on your cash. We will see you next time right here inside the Treehouse.
