us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with Trey
3
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:40.320
Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Monday, March tenth, two
4
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:47.520
thy twenty five. Real quick, I want to promote something
5
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:52.320

10
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.599
House Plus episode where Raj makes a huge medical announcement.
11
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.959
We'll refer to it over the next couple of days,
12
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:18.000
but if you really want the full story, suggest you'd
13
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:27.120
get in the tree House Plus. He's not making our
14
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:33.680
Treehouse Memorial wall anytime soon. It's very esteemed by the way,
15
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:39.799
lots of big names up there, but we'll all be
16
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.760
on that wall someday. Instead, we're going to start with
17
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:51.439
something that while Raj may have this disease thing going on,
18
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.439
at least at the end of the day, at least
19
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.560
at the end of the day, Raj doesn't have the
20
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.480
worst disease of all. And that is utter stupidity. I
21
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.200
say that because a lot of other people on this
22
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.159
planet have utter stupidity, and there doesn't seem to be
23
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.280
any cure other than death. Luckily, a lot of these
24
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:22.919
people unwinningly take that cure, like these people. People are
25
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:31.879
eating packing peanuts, not by accident but on purpose. I
26
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.960
don't know how your twenty twenty five being gold card
27
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.759
is shaping up, gentlemen, But I did not have that
28
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.000
on my But here we are.
29
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:43.319
This is it Florida.
30
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.039
No, this is a this isn't everywhere problem.
31
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:48.639
Oh, it's never a problem. Okay.
32
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:56.199
Yeah. There is a cosmetics company called Lush, and in
33
00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:02.159
twenty seventeen, Lush announced that it's peanuts. We're going to
34
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:10.240
be one hundred percent biodegradable and edible, edible because we're
35
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:18.120
using a vegetable starch based alternative. And when you tell
36
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:25.120
somebody technically you could eat these, some of the people
37
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.879
suffering from utters stupidity will in fact eat them. And
38
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.879
that's what's happening now. Do in large parts of TikTok
39
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.080
and other social media platforms where one of the influencers
40
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:42.639
get their boxes of Lush products immediately give their insides
41
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:50.879
a makeover by eating the packing peanuts because they're biodegradable. Yeah,
42
00:03:51.360 --> 00:04:03.759
to the uh disappointment of many experts. Yeah, unfortunately, it's
43
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.039
not a new thing, but it is.
44
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.000
It was twenty seventeen is when they made the announcement,
45
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.120
and people are still eating them today.
46
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:18.040
Yeah, people are eating biodegradable packing peanuts under the assumption
47
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:23.959
they are edible, much to experts dismay. On TikTok, online
48
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.040
shoppers and influencers claimed that the biodegradable packing peanuts make
49
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.560
for the perfect bedtime smack, arguing that the phone pieces
50
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:41.439
are completely edible because they dissolve in their mouths. Off
51
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.600
the top of my head, I can't immediately think of
52
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.759
something else that dissolves in your mouth that's edible. But
53
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.439
I'm sure there's lots of things out there that will
54
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.199
dissolve in your mouth and it's not edible.
55
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:56.480
I was gonna say white trash, cotton candy. Uh, I
56
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.079
mean maybe, maybe not, I don't know.
57
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.519
Yeah. One beauty lover on TikTok said, did anyone know
58
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.399
that lush packing peanuts are edible? And then she pops
59
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.720
one in her mouth. The Personal Care brand packsage shipping
60
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.360
boxes with eco float chips it's an alternative to typical
61
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.680
foam peanuts that are instead made with a potato starch
62
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.800
base to make them dissolve in water and soil. However,
63
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:27.360
one person pointed out biodegradible doesn't mean edible, and someone
64
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.759
else pointing out one of my favorite phrases, just because
65
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:30.399
you can.
66
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.319
Doesn't mean you should. Uh hum.
67
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.199
And then one of my favorite comments on one video
68
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.920
was someone saying, girl, those packing peanuts have probably been
69
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.680
on the ground and touched by I don't know how
70
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.240
many people. Because if you're going to eat a packing peanut,
71
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.399
a dirt on it is what should be of main concern.
72
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.759
Yeah, if you're and if you're in that middle state,
73
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:05.959
that's what you're worried about Burns, Kansas.
74
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.560
That's hey, honey, before you eat that packing put peanut,
75
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.600
Before you eat the packing peanut, at least just blow
76
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.120
it off a little bit first. Or if when you
77
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.759
open your your box of goodies and the biodegradable packing
78
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:25.240
peanuts fall out five second rule applies, yeah, get on it.
79
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.959
I mean, really, aren't they just white fluffy Bieber beaver nuggets.
80
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:38.120
Or or or Bieber nuggets? Either one both work.
81
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.839
I guess if I guess if you get packing peanuts
82
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.319
in your or if you're justin Bieber and you get
83
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.759
beaver nuggets from BUCkies, then yeah, I think you should
84
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.319
call them beeber nuggets.
85
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:49.720
Yeah.
86
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.920
And I think, uh, if you uh blow on your
87
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:59.639
fluffy box as you were saying, uh.
88
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.319
I don't think I called it a fluffy box, but
89
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.480
oh I thought you did. I'm sorry.
90
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.600
So many biodegradable packing peanuts use corn starch, potato starch,
91
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.800
vegetable oil, wheat starch, and other plant based materials. Luscious
92
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:16.680
peanuts in particular made from potato starch, and one expert
93
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.120
explains that these ingredients are heated to a high level
94
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.439
in order to create the packing material. When it's heated,
95
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:26.519
it goes undergo something chemical called the Myard reaction, which
96
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.079
forms a krylamide, a known carcinogen.
97
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.160
Okay, good, that's what you want.
98
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:41.879
Yeah, so let's let let's not give cancer an advantage,
99
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:48.360
don't give it a leg up by eating cancer causing materials.
100
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:56.639
Just let it get you naturally. I just I really
101
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.639
don't know what to do with people anymore. I mean,
102
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.240
on one hand, like the experts, I feel like if
103
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:10.120
I witnessed someone eating packing peanuts. I feel like I
104
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.279
should tell them drop it and don't eat that.
105
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:14.759
Would you?
106
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:23.759
On the flip side, I kinda feel like just gotta
107
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.800
let people do what they're gonna do. To a certain degree. Yeah,
108
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.879
sometimes you have to learn your own lessons.
109
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.159
This is how we get rid of people.
110
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.120
This is how there's more for me at the Golden

With Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma with you inside the

Treehouse today Monday March tenth, two thousand twenty five. We
141
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.320
have something very special in store for today because last
142
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.919
year we told you about a woman named Lauren Harkins
143
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.559
who made headlines. And she didn't make headlines the way
144
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.279
a lot of people do murdering somebody. And she didn't
145
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.879
make headlines for some crazy stunt to promote an adult website.
146
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:46.200
No.
147
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.559
No, Lauren Harkins story made global news because she's a
148
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.679
thirty four year old virgin. So let's welcome Lauren into
149
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.360
the treehouse. Now, Lauren, welcome inside the treehouse.
150
00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:58.360
Here, pleads up.
151
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.960
Guys, thanks for having me, thanks for taking the time.
152
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.320
We appreciate it. I promise we will be nice because
153
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.600
I will admit I've done a fair amount of social
154
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.440
media stalking on you. But to be fair, you did
155
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.879
it first because Trey and Roger. I'm not sure if
156
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.080
you realize this, because the segment that we did about
157
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.039
Dateless and Portland about Lauren last year, I had slapped
158
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:27.480
it up on YouTube and Lauren commented on it, and
159
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.320
that's how now she's in trouble and she's in the treehouse.
160
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.120
But so we have lots of questions, as I'm sure
161
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.039
many people do anytime they are confronted by a thirty
162
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:42.080
four year old virgin. My first question is why.
163
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:43.879
Why?
164
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:44.639
Well?
165
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.559
I mean, I feel like it's one of those things
166
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:49.960
that the more that I talk about it, I feel
167
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.080
like the easier it is, like articulate. So what it
168
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.799
really just comes down to is I've just never met
169
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.039
anyone that I personally have felt is right for me.
170
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:03.480
I'm really into being intentional with you know, my time
171
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.159
and who I share my time with. And I think
172
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.480
that I just I've never made dating a priority. I mean,
173
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.240
it was never a priority for me in my twenties.
174
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.720
It's really only now, like in my thirties, that I'm
175
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.639
even interested or open to meeting someone. But it's still
176
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:23.120
not something that I'm actively pursuing. So why, I mean,
177
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.720
it's really just like a feeling thing like I just
178
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.080
haven't met anyone that I'm like it does it for me?
179
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:29.960
And again, like in my twenties, I was very close
180
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.559
off to meeting anyone, just had like other things going
181
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.360
on and just you know, I have a great life.
182
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.919
I have a very full life, and just was never
183
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:38.519
a priority.
184
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:43.519
So why it's really just just haven't met someone that
185
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:44.159
you know?
186
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:45.000
Does it for me?
187
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.399
What was going on in your twenties that you.
188
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.600
Twenties was just really like I think a lot of
189
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:55.720
people school. Yeah, it's just a very like confusing, overwhelming time.
190
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:57.159
I was trying to figure out, you know, what I'm
191
00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:58.519
doing career wise, and.
192
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.120
Yeah, just and you know, I feel like you don't
193
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.480
really I didn't really fully know myself in my twenties.
194
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.960
I think a lot of people that knew me, you
195
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.080
know then would think that I did, But I was
196
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.919
just you know, just like trying to figure out like
197
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.639
what I want and just like you know, figuring out myself,
198
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.480
my life and what I'm doing.
199
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.519
So I think that's smart because the majority of us
200
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.720
right now, and by majority, I mean everyone except for you, Lauren, Me,
201
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.440
Craigon Rage, we all spent our twenties acting out whereas
202
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.360
and I think that's what most people do. And I
203
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.919
think you were right to figure out and figure out
204
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:40.600
only we tried multitasking, and we have we have interesting
205
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:45.559
stories to tell, no doubt. But I am curious though.
206
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.159
You are a thirty four year old virgin. When we
207
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.960
saw the story last year, I think the headline was
208
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.279
thirty three year old virgins? So how did the story
209
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:57.240
first come about? How did how did you become a
210
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.320
global sensation.
211
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:02.600
Like I did?
212
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.320
Did the Daily Mail just somehow find out and call you?
213
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:06.480
What's how did that happen?
214
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.440
So someone a journalist in the UK found my social
215
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.399
media and reached out that way. So yeah, I kind
216
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:19.120
of started posting. I'd always kind of like danced around
217
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:23.639
like doing you know stuff, social media stuff, but I
218
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.759
kind of started posting about being a virgin in my
219
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:31.360
thirties last last summer actually, and kind of just popped
220
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.039
off from there and then yeah, a couple of journalists
221
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:37.039
reached out, and that's how that first round of publicity
222
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:37.559
came about.
223
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.440
Are you a virgin influencer or just.
224
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.000
Are you trying to are you trying to spread the
225
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.360
virginity thing or is it just telling your story?
226
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.000
I don't know, I mean not necessary. I'm not I'm
227
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.720
not trying to convince people to you know, live the lifestyle.
228
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.879
I don't think that's very like realistic. And that's also
229
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.440
not something that I really like, I feel like I
230
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.279
need to put because it's obviously like a bit unusual.
231
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:08.320
But no, I think I'm more so kind of leaning
232
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.840
toward you know, I want to inspire people to make
233
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.960
good choices and you know, inspire people toward high standards
234
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:21.759
living and just you know, being intentional and protecting your peace.
235
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:25.759
And yeah, just I think more like general lifestyle stuff
236
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.399
I'm also interested in. But obviously the things that do
237
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.000
the best are when I'm talking about, you know, being
238
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.600
a version of my thirties. That's kind of has that
239
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:33.960
shock value aspect to it.
240
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.960
So yeah, I think it's pretty funny that you mentioned
241
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.360
protecting your piece, because we hear a lot about that
242
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:44.080
in here. Well the hang on because we hear about
243
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.559
that a lot from Trey, because Trey is fifty and
