What does it take to earn a 5-star review these days? Apparently, saving a man’s life still isn’t enough.
In this episode of The Treehouse Show, we break down the viral story of a doctor who received a FOUR-star review from a patient who openly admitted the doctor literally saved his life. We try to figure out what could possibly have been missing from the experience… complimentary mints? A gift basket? Better WiFi?

I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Jerry Caldwell, and for the fourth time, I'm sorry.
0:42 I was late. I got caught up. I didn't realize it was six seven minutes after our normal recording time. I'm sorry. There's there's, there's but, but I will not tolerate name calling. I said, if you had just been a couple more minutes, I'd call you Russ. I realize you're sidestepping by saying if, but the thought still entered your mind to call me Russ. And how dare you. That's the Russ you remembered working with the Russ that Jerry and I ended radio with you would have never heard from again until you got a call from someone saying he had passed away. Right really, and animals flying all over the place. Let's work from home and get the cat to ruin everything. You're good, Katie go away and she is needy anyway where he's outside laughs inside. Look, there's a lot of great stuff that we need to get to before the week closes out. But there's some things you just you go immediately to the front of the line, like this. There's a man named doctor Mark Lewis.
2:16 He's a cancer specialist and he has recently gone viral on the social media for sharing a patient review which stated saved my life for doctor mark Lewis, but he only got four out of five stars. What to which doctor Lewis posted and said, what do I gotta do to get that fit star? And he ain't wrong. There was no explanation given, No or the four four out of five stars. No the review, it's just four out of five stars with the one sentence that says doctor Lewis saved my life exclamation point. That's it. Or out of five Google review four out of five stars, Google review. Wow, saved my life. I am. I am so sick to death of review culture. While keeping in mind they are important.
3:24 They they it's a good service because a lot of times if you're looking at some new place of something or a new service, uh uh, a product, whatever it is, you might check the reviews just to see what it is, to get a little more insight on it. It depends, yeah, you do. You don't want to look at it specifically. You just want to kind of look at the overall people fairly happy, fairly dissatisfied, you know. And then when I see a one star review or just a really bad review, I want to make sure I see the content of it to see what it actually says is bad about the product or the service, Right, Like I've seen some before where it's a one star review because of really nothing they had to do with the service that was rendered. Sometimes, like I've seen some before where it was like a one star review and it's like I don't like this person, well that has nothing to do with the service.
4:34 Well, coming from the bar and restaurant business people, people will give you a one star because they don't think you gave them a strong enough drink, and you didn't smile enough. It's like you get the same amount of alcohol and every drink it's you know, ah, and number with you, the number of people that still will think that, you know, it's like it's the light on the ice because they think that's gonna get a more booze. It doesn't work that way. You get more mixer. That's right. Yeah, it's fascinating. There's there's a place we go to for burgers and behind the bar they have a print out of a Facebook review that someone had left for them, and it was like a one star review, and their reasoning was, maybe if your bartenders had a little more personality, Like, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that the bartender's job is to entertain you. I didn't realize it's a show that they're supposed to put on to make sure you are entertained, in addition to providing you with a bever dan door food. What I mean? Oh, online reviews they have their place. They can be useful, but it is out of control. It is basically putting too much power in people's hands because there is no two way street here. Mm hmm. Right. I would like
6:05 the ability. I would be happy for a business to review me as a customer. I think it's only fair if we are going to lodge reviews and stars and thumbs on businesses, it should only be fair that they be allowed to do the same to us as customers. That was really something I thought about when I was driving for Uber. Briefly, you get these drivers in, you know, and they say whatever, and it's like you were a deck dude. Well, that's the thing with some of the ride shairs is you do have a rating as a customer. So some of these ridehair companies have it figured out as far as like, hey, this person is a good rider, is a good fair to pick up, and if you're a shitty customer the right the drivers can rate you as such and therefore makes it harder for you to get you know, served on that platform. That's the way it needs to be across the board, yes, because otherwise you can go online and just start downvoting businesses that you don't like for one reason or another. Like right now, Tara and I are trying to plan a trip and we're looking at Airbnb, We're looking at Furnished Finder. We saw a review of a place last night where a guy gave a two star. I'm sorry, it was a three out of five stars. The review was really great, but he took two stars off because he said it lacked curb appeal. You're staying in a rental unit in
7:39 the back of somebody's house and you're taking off stars for curb appeal. You're not buying the house, you're renting space out of it. Why is curb appeele even involved in this? So that's the kind of thing that businesses are dealing with, which is at the end of the day, is idiots. Well, and unfortunately that's one of the biggest problems is with let's say uber uh, it's transactional. You they know who you are, and you know you're leaving a review of that driver. That driver's leaving a review of you.
8:20 You go to a bar restaurant's That is the worst thing about it is you can do it completely anonymous. Mm hmm. Yeah, you can absolutely just roast a place because for stupid reasons, a lot of times that don't even And here's the other thing, this is one of my biggest things. Always look at the time for a bar restaurant, look at the time stamp. When the review was was left. If it is left after midnight, that person is drunk and probably and keep in mind that they were probably cut off or kicked out because they're drunk. That's very astute. On the flip side of that, if it's a glowing review for a bar after midnight, then you know they had a good time, so that might be the place to go. So I love the way you approach that, Trey.
9:09 Yeah, timestamp is one of the biggest things, because the people that own the Ivy, they were absolutely, I mean so hyper sensitive about reviews. It's just ridiculous. And people would leave a bad review at three am because basically they weren't happy with the way they got you. Because the law in Texas is you don't serve after two All drinks are raked after two fifteen, and everyone's supposed to be out the door. Now out the door is a lot of times for the bars safety. And so then you can start closing up, pull the cash out, handling money, everything else. But at a certain point, because drunk people don't listen, and they'll sit there and they'll talk and everything else, and then and you warn them five times. But then at two fifteen when you can buy and grab their drink. They want to fight you over it. It's like, no, you gots to go.
10:04 Mm hmm, Like you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Come back in nine hours we'll open back up. You can resume this, but for now you got to go. And not only all of that, but also if they never physically close out the tab and then you have to do it for them and an auto gratuity gets placed, then they then they'll start flipping, you know, lids and things. It's like, well, you had ample opportunity to do this and you didn't. So it ultimately boils down to consequences when it comes to some of those things. But it really does seem like so ride shares, Airbnb. You can rate the customers from the business side eban's actional thing.
10:48 You you rate the celer rates the buyer, buyer rates the seller. Nice. It's fair, It's absolutely fair. As opposed to let's use COOKEDFW are sponsor Roofing and Restoration Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. Let's say hypothetically, Jerry called Daniel Cook and said, hey, I need a quote on you know, some roof patching, and for whatever reason, Jerry just doesn't like anything. Daniel said, you know what actually scratched this. There is a real life example I can give here are old pal Russ. I was working with a real estate company at the time doing commercials on the radio, and he wanted that company to come give him an idea of resale value.
11:37 I know, I know, Trey, I know. As Russ's former realtor. I I I bet I can guess where this goes. So Bill Nelson, quality real estate broker in North Texas, goes over to Russ's house. This was the fris This was the big Frisco house, the one that he spent over three million dollars on. H Yeah, and uh. Bill goes to the house along with a contractor and works with for some of his own properties to give an honest assessment, right and uh. He goes in tells Russ what he tells him. Russ comes in later that day and tells me, I think that real estate guy you're working with is uh is he's corrupt or something like that, Like he's no good. You can't trust that person. There, there's something wrong there. He's like, you do what you want, it's your endorsement, you know. But I just want to let you know I don't think he's you know, above board.
12:37 And I'm like, why do you say that? Well, he said, I need a quarter of a million dollars worth of repairs and upgrades in my house to get it ready for the market, or I have to sell it at a loss. And I said, yes, treas he your hand. Let me guess all the all the flooring had to be ripped up. That is accurate. That's the one that's exactly where we had to do that. It was previous two houses. The massive curtains that covered up the huge windows that also were attached to the floor needed to be replaced basically because his dogs had peepeed and poop pooed on all of it because he was lazy and it just.
13:24 Oh, I mean listen his first house and plano that. And this is just when he had Abby, the little chihuahua. M h. We had an issue with all the flooring needing to be ripped up because you know, he just let her pee anywhere. I mean, I was at least smart enough when I got Daisy that I pepad trained her so if I missed something, I at least, you know, she just went on the pad, no big deal. And then South Lake when then he had four dogs. Mm hmmm, same thing. And and then it got into the issue of treating the slab because the urine had soaked in.
14:16 Yep, uh yeah. That's Did I ever tell you the story about I went on a job interview and this is a big life insurance company and the head of the DFW market, which is I mean, your senior VP, that he had looked at Russ's house to buy the Cliff Trail. So he looked at my resume and everything else, and he's like, oh, okay, you know, he's like, it's funny. I looked at his house. I was like, oh, the you know, said the address. Yeah, he goes, Yeah, that's the one he goes. He goes.
14:59 The real estate agent made us sign confidentiality agreements, non disclosures. We couldn't tell who it is. Had to be very private, you know. He said, it's a very discreet celebrity. And he said, first he goes, we can look at the house, and he goes, it's gorgeous, but it's like the dogs like they had peede everywhere. It's like all all the flooring had to be ripped up and those were, you know, especially in the first floor, handscraped hardwoods, not cheap and kind of the same thing. He said his contractor told him between two hundred and fifty and four hundred thousand dollars to get the place up and at that point, and it also a lot of this stuff was twenty years old, so it had become a little dated. Yeah, But then the funniest part was he goes, so, then we're leaving and he goes, this guy comes pulling up in a batmobile and he gets out of the batmobile with a letter jacket that says Russ Martin on it.
16:05 He goes, Yeah, I could see he really is discreet. Yeah, I see we're keeping a low profile. So that goes to my point about how online reviews are out of control, because Russ could have left a review for that real estate broker saying, you needed a quarter of a million dollars at least in repairs to get this home ready for market, or you're going to have to sell it at a loss. Russ could have then reviewed that broker and said this guy is not to be trusted. Blah blah blah blah. One star. He told me, I have to have a quarter of a million dollars worth, and that's just that, that's insane. I don't remember. And someone could see that and be like, well, I'm not going to use that company now. It would only be fair if the broker then could respond back it's like you are awful. Now you can, as the business respond to the review and say, well, I appreciate your feedback, but the reason why I said that, or the reason why this interaction happened was because of A B and C.
17:14 But there are other times when smaller businesses happen it's like this guy sucks. Sometimes you can refute some of those reviews and they might be taken down, but sometimes they can't. And so you as a business owner have to decide, well, how do I want to respond here or do I respond at all, especially if it's just more of a personal attack. Or and this is where you know what was one of the great scams of the twentieth century, and then it developed online to the other great scam of the twenty first century. In comes the Better Business Bureau, who someone can complain to the Better Business Bureau and you know they'll arbitrate your claim. But if you join their membership, more likely to give you a favorable outcome, and then that leads to Yelp and you know which why by the way, better Business Bureau. Basically they're franchises just FYI.
18:12 They're independently owned and operated. But there is no big giants, not one company. There's no big BBB and Yelp. A lot of it would do the same thing that for a price. Uh, you know you can, and you can try to just be stuff with Google. It takes forever, and your chances are it's gonna get You're gonna get bored before you see any outcome. Yeah, it's It is just crazy though, to think that a cancer specialist saved a guy's life and the guys the guy shows gratitude by going to Google and leaving a review four out of five stars. Doctor Lewis saved my life, leaving doctor Lewis to wonder what I got to do to get that fifth star? And according to this, studies have shown that most medical reviews for online review platforms aren't even based on outcomes. They're based on things like wait times, parking, or overall experience. Just imagine you saved someone's life, but they only give you four out of five stars because they didn't like the parking situation up front.

21:26 Back inside the Treehouse now, I'm Dan along with Trey and Jerry. Today is Thursday, May seventh, twenty twenty six. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Eagle Eye Cherry. This is a guy, not just a band. He is fifty eight years old today, Save tonight. Eagle Eye Cherry fifty eight years old. Not entirely sure, but I think that might have just been his only hit, good old nineties one hit wonder. Brecken Meyer turns fifty two years old today. Breck and Meyer fifty two. We were talking recently about National Lampoon's Senior Trip that I know Trey has not seen.
22:15 Breckon Meyer was the star of not Senior Trip. I forget. This was the one where he had sent the accidental sex tape to his girlfriend at another college. So he was at Ithaca and his girlfriend was at ut and so the accidental sex tape with Amy smart Ah get sent to ut and he has to get in a bus with his buddies, which included DJ Qualls. That was his first movie, The Road Tall Skinny, Gangly Guy. It was road Trip. Was that National Lampoon or is it just road Trip? I think that's just road Trip.
22:56 So road Trip they got to go to Austin and get that tape before before his girl friend does. He was one of those people in the nineties that, uh he had a bunch of He was like the second guy. I mean, he was in Clueless. He was in uh yeah, Franklin, Oh Franklin and Bash. Oh there you go. So yeah, Breckenmeier turns fifty two years old. The Road Trip movie. That would be a fun rewatch for us inside the Treehouse for Our Treehouse Renews on Patreon. That would be an interesting one never seen it. In that case, that might actually be one for a live watch since Jerry's not seen it. We'll figure that out. That beings real quick. That being said, National Lampoon's Senior Trip starring a very young Jeremy Renner, that Trey and I talked about this week. I pulled a clip that we are going to experience from that film, and that's going to happen on the Treehouse super Plus episode on Patreon today. So that's that's happening, and it is stunning because Trey's never seen that movie. So when I play this clip, his eyes are gonna pop out of his head. What was it, Tray? You were gonna ask Jerry?
24:21 Oh, I was gonna tell Jerry, spare yourself. Don't go back and watch Porky's. See. Now, here's the problem. You're we're already reviewing Porky's and and I haven't even had a chance to see it yet. I got a new TV and it doesn't even know what the freeb TV app is, so like we're reviewing it before we've even viewed it. I'm spare okay, Dan. This is where most most people appreciate the heads up on don't waste your time watching a movie. You are the exception to the rule. There is nothing you love more than to waste your time watching a bad movie. It is one of the pinnacles of your life.
25:02 Okay, hang on. Just because some of what you said is accurate, that doesn't mean all of what you said is accurate. The point of the Treehouse review is to rewatch a film that we liked when we were younger, to see if it holds up, and share our experiences and reviewing it on whether or not it holds up. You're so excited to tell us how bad it is, you can't even wait for us to actually record the episode where we're supposed to share the information. Go do it, guys, hang on. Being that you can't get the movie, I really feel like we're gonna scrap Porkys, and with our attention span, I feel very confident we'll move on to something else before you actually figure out and watch Porkys. So in case Jerry could watch it, I'm just giving him the heads up of, Hey, your time is better spent doing other things. It's just it's it. It just isn't that good.
25:59 Because I did find it on YouTube. I just haven't started watching it yet, but like Revenge of the Nerds, I'm sure it's not going to have all the racier stuff. So here's here's number one. A lot of the stuff in Porky's was funny when we were kids. It's just it's played out. The other thing that makes Porky's very interesting is there's also there's now this is nineteen eighties social commentary, because remember it's based in the fifties, so there are some awkward, you know, some awkward dialogue about race and religion that, like I said, it's just it's just it was. It's it was funny at the time.
26:48 It's just not it's just not that entertaining, gotcha. But if you want to watch it, you knock yourself out. We'll see what would be fun rewatching Porky's. Or are knocking myself out? Who says we can't do both? Anyway? I Reckon Meyer fifty two. Today, Tracy Lord's is fifty eight. Wow, one of the few who have made the jump from adult film in the mainstream. She is fifty eight years old, which is very important her age because when she broke out onto the adult scene, she wasn't of legal age yet she was sub eighteen, I want to say, in her first film, her first adult film, she was like fifteen or sixteen. I think she was sixteen. Yeah, and she had lied about her age allegedly to the producers.
27:38 And that was stuff that was out there when we were growing up. You can't find it now, but when we were growing up, like, oh, Tracy Lauras, Oh, she's like seventeen. What So anyway, she made the deleap from adult film over in mainstream films, and one of her biggest mainstream roles was the very first vampire in Wesley Snipe's Blade movie. Do you remember that opening scene tray where he goes into like the vampire rave and it's all vampires and he's followed. It's so, what happens is there's a guy that gets lured into this vampire rave by a really interactive blonde he doesn't know is a vampire. That's Tracy Lord's yep. I don't know what's going on with the new Marvel Blade situation, but it is really it is. When you go back and watch just that opening scene of the very first Blade movie, it's hard to argue how good that movie.
28:31 Is said that that's ah. I never even saw the second the other ones, but I need to go back and watch that first one. So good, so. Good, soundtrack was amazing, soundtrack, performances, the story, it was. All good, the actual good. And that that opening scene in the Vampire Rave with the blood coming out of the sprinklers, that was cool. But also near the end when it's Wesley Snipes versus Stephen Dorf as guys like the big bad final Vampire, and right as Wesley Snipes gets his vampire juju back and he gets his sword in hand and hits the tip of the sword on the concrete. That was peak cinema for me. Speaking of peak cinema, The Rock is fifty four today, what is your favorite Dwayne the Rock Johnson movie? Someone please say Skyscraper or the Time I've never seen it.
29:42 I think I'd have to go with Jumanji. Those new Jumanju movies are a lot of fun. However, I will I for what it is. I enjoyed Skyscraper. You don't get to cast any stone me ever, my lovely film. Again, I said, for what it is, I'm not trying to see. This is the difference, Dan, You'll try to sell us on bad movies. No, I very much will do the disclaimer. I similarly believe for what it is, the American Ninja franchise is classic. No, for what it is.
30:26 Okay, Skyscraper was a B movie, good action scenes, you know it was. It's the rock. American Ninja is just bad. It's just bad for every bit of it. It's a different era. We're talking about the eighties versus, you know, the twenty first century. We weren't there for the dialogue in American Ninja. No one was, Jerry. That's not why we were there. Trust me that that script had very little talking, and the talking that it had didn't help at all. All Right, So I think I'm with you, Trey. I think probably my favorite Dwayne the Rock Johnson movie. I'm trying to run through a bunch of them in my head at the moment. Yeah, I think the Jumanji movies, those reboots, those are those are really really good. I'm his Jungle Cruise.
31:28 I really enjoyed that. There's something to be said about that that that was kind of enjoyable. I'm with you, Jerry. It's got Emily Blunt, it's got the Jesse Plemons, you know, did. You ever see Red one? Yes, yes I did. I enjoyed that. What's the other one. I'm trying to think of the Rock that was I surprisingly liked. Ah, I'm brain farting it now. Whatever Red? Notice that was good. That was good. I've never seen any of the Fast and Furious, and I will go to my dre. With I used to be able to say the same.
32:10 So I've seen two of the Fast and Furious movies. One is the Hobs and Shaw movie, which I thought, well, since that's an offshoot, it's not part of the mainstream Fast and Furious movies. But the one Fast and the Furious movie I did see was Tokyo Drift. I have seen ten minutes of one of the Fast and Furious movies, and that was it was some they were. One of them is like towing a ten by ten safe and they're sling it all around, and I mean, it's just the dumbest thing I had ever seen.
32:58 So Fast and the Fear should also be subtitled suspension of disbelief, like just just let it go. It might as there's some scenes that I've seen, like clips Fast and the Furious that I have seen where I've thought, you know, I've seen things in Star Wars that are more believable than Fast and the Furious. They at least paid some attention to the laws of physics in Star Wars. But also, if vin Diesel is a staple in You're from movie franchise, it sucks. That's not fair to Guardians of the Galaxy. Yes, okay, that is the that is the mega. He found his place there.
33:45 That that's just his I mean him saying three. Words, and it makes me angry to know how much money he's made. Fifty two million on I am grout. I listen. Yeah, voice work fine, but you're not counting. You're not relying on his acting abilities. He's his face is not in the movie. Trilex No, okay. Jerry, not unless it's a Lord's movie.

35:11 Thank you very much for being here. We appreciate it. Oh, I almost forgot. I can't leave this one off. I would like everyone to pull out their twenty twenty six Bingo cards and let me know if anyone has comic Kazi dolphins on it. Does anyone have comic Kazi dolphin on your twenty twenty six Bingo card? Jerry, no at me either, Uh, Trey, did you have comic Kazi dolphins on your twenty twenty six Bingo card. It's one of many things that have happened recently that it were not on my twenty twenty six Bingo card.
35:56 And it's funny to think that, you know, we're almost halfway through this year and it already feels like it's been eighty eight years. It's like the little old lady in Titanic. We're not even halfway through this year, and there's no way that we could have had a pre filled out Bingo card and come anywhere near hitting any of the stuff that has happened so far this year. So it's it's like bingo cards for the year, aren't your normal pre made cards. It's really just about just kind of filling in the bingo card as things happen. Like handful of years ago, it was murder hornets. You're like, what is that. I've never heard of a murder hornet.
36:39 Now we've got things like Kamakazi dolphins, cocaine sharks, things that don't make any sense, and there's no way you could predict them. For all the credit noster Namous gets fairly or unfairly, unless I've missed something. I don't think nostro Namous ever correctly predicted cocaine sharks, murder hornets, and he's sure as shit did not predict kama Kazi dolphins. Or maybe he did see them in a vision and just decided it was time to put down the quill. Even though sster Damas said, you know what, I'm not writing that down. No one's gonna believe me. That's right. Here is in fact the real Kama Kazi dolphins and how it came about for twenty twenty.
37:22 Six kind of clarify these reports of Kama Kazi dolphins that we've heard about. Real quick, could you guys see that? No, okay, see it now. So this was at a press conference a couple of days ago from the Pentagon, and this is I believe it's the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Dan Kane, along with the Secretary of War Pete Hegseith and a reporter I believe from BBC is asking about kama Kazi dolphins being used in the strait of her views? Can you kind of clarify these reports of Kamakazi dolphins that we've heard about.
38:03 I haven't heard the Kamakazi dolphins thing. It's like sharks with laser beams. Right, freaking laser beams on their freaking foreheads. I I I give I give General Kine here a lot of credit. It's, you know it having a good sense of humor. It's not necessarily modern pop culture, but it is a pop culture reference that he understands. Look, I imagine once you reach the level that he does in the military, you have to consider all options. And sharks with laser beams, Kamakazi dolphins. Look, these are not new things. These are things that were tested out, you know, in wars past, so it's you know, it's just interesting.
38:46 So it's allegedly trained dolphins to do shit. Mm hmm. There was the story I told you guys about there was a training facility or a testing facility on the island of Saint Thomas and the US Virgin Islands about you know, testing dolphins and their interactivity with humans. And it was a CIA operation. So yeah, trades like Russians using dolphins, Americans using dolphins. We use dogs every single day in the military and police trade. You know how this came up, the Kamakazi dolphin question, I. Have no idea. I figured it's just some internet rumor that got spread.
39:27 Maybe that's what it is. And it was something, you know, interestingly enough or compelling enough that it needed to be asked in a Department of War press conference. Can you kind of clarify these reports of Kamakazi dolphins that we've heard about. I haven't heard the Kamakazi dolphins thing. It's like sharks with laser beams, tray. But leave it to Pete Hexitt that go will not hang on. I can't confirm or deny whether we have Kamakazi dolphins, but I can confirm they don't. Thanks Pete. Well, look, look, if someone's going to ask the question, I think strategically it makes sense that you don't deny the existence of kamakazi dolphins, because if you're in a war or a conflict, I think you should instill fear in the enemy whichever way you can. So if that means just planting the seed in their brain that we may in fact have kamakaze dolphins, we may also have land sharks hauling around in sixties and grenade launchers, let's not deny that. Let's just let the enemy think it's possible. So this is one of those strategies I actually applaud.
40:45 If reporters are dumb enough to ask the question, then bravo to the General and hexath for giving dumb answers. Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. So, in addition to kamikazi dolphins and whether or not those were on your twenty twenty six bingo card, did anyone have iguana trafficking on your twenty twenty Look, norug, there's drug trafficking, there is human trafficking. And leave it to the state of Florida, of course, to give us iguana trafficking.
41:27 Who who what why? A routine traffic stop in central Florida No surprise turned bizarre when state troopers found thirteen live iguanas zip tied together in the bed of a pickup. Are there They're a nuisance? In Florida. Florida Highway Patrol says the driver was pulled over after officers noticed a trailer with no license plate light. During to stop, troopers searched the vehicle and discovered the iguanas bound at the legs, along with several coolers filled with iced tilapia. The driver, identified as thirty two year old Rinden Casildo Acidel, was arrested for driving with a suspended license and was also found to have outstanding warrants. He reportedly told officers he had driven from North Carolina to Florida to pick up coconuts and fish before heading back north, a story that troopers were not buying. Wildlife officials took custody of the iguanas and what I hope is the fourth installment of the taking franchise. They were then turned over to a local rescue shelter. Investigators said additional charges related to the animals could be filed iguana trafficking. Thank you, Florida. Yeah, those were coconuts. Brother, Well, he may have gotten the coconuts still, but it's just like he said, he came
42:58 to Florida for coconuts and fish. Somehow got attracted to the iguanas, incided to take some. And you're gonna take him to another state so they can just be an absolute nuisance there. I guess. I mean, look, I know some people eat the iguanas, and at one point there was a guy in Florida as they were falling out of trees, he was turning them into tacos. So I mean, it's it's just weird that he's zip tying him and putting in the bed of the pickup. And since this is Florida, I'm really afraid to find out what his intentions were with zip tied iguanas that were alive. He's gonna dress him up a little cowboy hats on him.
43:38 Right, It's gonna do a show. Traveling iguana circus. Hello, probably get the soup For all things Treehouse go to Treehouse on air dot com. Also give us a follow on social media for the show.
