3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.839
It is time to leave your worries outside and life
4
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.480
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
5
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:25.079
Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharman. Believe it was just a
6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.359
couple of days ago we discussed about the men's Olympic
7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:36.600
ski jumpers and the possibility of them injecting their wieners
8
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:43.439
to fly farther during competition. Well, now that that story
9
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.759
is wrapped around the earth three or four times with
10
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:52.640
some left over, now they're starting to poke some holes
11
00:00:52.640 --> 00:01:03.719
into this situation. Olympian CAC person says crotchgate is utter ridiculousness.
12
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:09.799
Two time Olympic athlete Casey Larson really wishes we'd all
13
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.519
just forget about this. He's now a ski jumping coach
14
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:24.480
and he spoke with News Nation and he's not loving it.
15
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.599
He says, this is complete and utter ridiculousness. I, as
16
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.359
a plugged in athlete for a very long time, have
17
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.280
heard nothing about this. No, it's not happening. Well, that's
18
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.079
exactly what you say if you just finished pumping up
19
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.719
your wiener in a tent to get more drag on
20
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.959
a suit so you could fly farther in the Olympics.
21
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:58.200
He does go on to also say he did, however,
22
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.000
speak of some of the controversy in the sport over
23
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.159
the past year, likely referencing Norwegian ski jumpers variously and
24
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.280
Johann Andre Forfarg that's a great last name Forefang, Yeah,
25
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.000
who were found to have extra fabric applied to the
26
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.159
seams of their uniforms during the World Ski Championships in
27
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.680
twenty twenty five. The material was discovered after an examination
28
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:30.759
of the seams of their crotches after the event, and
29
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.759
they all go on to you know, give more the science,
30
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.520
like we did the other day, that an augmented suit,
31
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:41.159
even just a couple of centimeters in the crotch area,
32
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.000
can add close to six meters in additional distance when
33
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:47.800
you ski jump.
34
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.439
But also, who's going to tell their coach like, hey,
35
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:56.840
check out my dog.
36
00:02:59.280 --> 00:02:59.800
Shoot up to.
37
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.800
Show well, I mean, they have to measure these suits.
38
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:08.039
So there's someone that's trying to find cheaters by measuring
39
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.240
the amount of material on the suits, including the crouch areas.
40
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.680
So if this picks up enough steam, does that mean
41
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.919
that that team that measures the suits are also going
42
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.120
to have to start measuring.
43
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:27.840
Well, it sounds like the shirts. The suits are uniformly measured.
44
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.520
They body scan everyone and they measure them to fit
45
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:38.759
each person. Yes, why are we talking about ski jumping?
46
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.560
It literally it's a sport that maybe five hundred people
47
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:43.360
in the world care about.
48
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.400
Yeah, but I can't stop talking about it, and neither
49
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.919
can the Internet look anything to get the ratings up
50
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.360
or the Olympics or is it great? Is what?
51
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.599
That's it? Or you're dick or that you know?
52
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.840
They do say that the Olympics are a tental thing
53
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.000
for NBC, so this is I'm sure NBC is loving this.
54
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.080
They're going to try to ignore it to a certain
55
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.399
extent to maintain some air of credibility and whatever, but
56
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:22.000
they'll take the extra eyeballs. Speaking of which, I don't
57
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.959
think it's any coincidence. Hang on, let me get this
58
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.519
accurate here. I like to be accurate.
59
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.040
Since when.
60
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.759
Since always Trey. Unless I'm lying, I don't think it's
61
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.360
any coincidence that we have all the swirling controversy about
62
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:45.759
the possibility of men's ski jumpers injecting substances into their
63
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:50.519
genitals to get extra fabric to fly farther in competition.
64
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:59.759
I don't think it's any coincidence that on Saturday, Valentine's Day,
65
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.800
that's the day that they are doing the men's Large
66
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.240
Hill Individuals ski jumping competition.
67
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.560
Here's what I think this is. We all know that
68
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.439
the Olympic village is a big f fest, and I
69
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.040
think the ski jumpers got together and go, hey, what's
70
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:18.279
going to give us an advantage?
71
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.480
That's right? And also it gave them an advantage in competition.
72
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.079
Let screw the competition. They are like, you know what,
73
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.480
what's gonna get us laid the most?
74
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.959
Yeah? No, I'm with you. I think that was the goal.
75
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:37.720
And then and then they felt additional benefits once they
76
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.160
went back to, you know, practicing. You're like, hey, this
77
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:42.720
works on two levels.
78
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.360
Oh, I'm saying they're not even doing it. I'm saying
79
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.839
this is all made up just to get chicks.
80
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.600
Oh, well, imagine their disappointment.
81
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.160
Well, chances are, while they're already there.
82
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:03.800
You're not wrong.
83
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.800
You're gonna hear a lot of I thought it was
84
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.839
going to be bigger. Should have seen it before the injection.
85
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.199
No, wonder why you didn't win gold?
86
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.800
Oh, you're a qualifier.
87
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.040
I see.
88
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.199
This this. Former ski jumper Casey Larson also said some
89
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.839
athletes may push the limits of acceptable surface area, perhaps
90
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.879
with their uniforms or gloves, but said it's not widespread.
91
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.560
It's also an equipment based sport, which means that every
92
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.720
piece of gear, skis, helmet, boots could have an impact
93
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.120
on the link of a jump, and that sometimes puts
94
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.240
a spotlight on the wrong elements. What is it they say,
95
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.360
if you're not you're not cheating, You're not trying.
96
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.120
Yeah, if you're not cheating, you're not trying to win.
97
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.319
Mm hmm. I mean when you're when you're at this
98
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.319
level of comp petition, every centimeter matters.
99
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.879
That's a horrible philosophy. You're not cheating, you're not trying,
100
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:10.319
says the cheaters.
101
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.319
I think that I think that saying originated in NASCAR
102
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:22.360
just to get really yeah, as some guys chiseling off
103
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.439
a fraction of a centimeter on the hood for whatever
104
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.279
additional bump and aero dynamics. Oh you know that comes
105
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.000
from back in the day. I actually I think it
106
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.360
was Richard Petty that said that. But when when stock
107
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.319
cars were actually stock and you had they had a
108
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.800
lot of range and what they could do to them
109
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.319
to make them faster. Yeah, the gray area of the rules.
110
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.279
Well, and honestly, that was at a time when the
111
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.079
stock car racing was really really interesting because here's your
112
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.480
stock car, and now what's up to you to make
113
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.279
it go fast? And here's a few parameters that you
114
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.839
have to work inside. And then they got really good
115
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:02.759
at it, and they got so good at it that
116
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.959
then NASCAR is like, Okay, we need to do some
117
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.480
actual rules here because you guys are going crazy. And
118
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.560
so they did that. But the tradition of finding ways
119
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:17.480
to skirt the rules or just outright cheat remain, and
120
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:19.720
then it's you know, it's kind of like they just
121
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:20.600
get better at it.
122
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.399
That it comes from NASCAR now makes sense.
123
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.720
If you're if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Yeah,
124
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.720
I think that's I think that's the exact quote. It's
125
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:31.279
two eights.
126
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.039
Yeah, I've never seen I've never seen one NASCAR race
127
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:37.720
in my life.
128
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:44.120
Sure you have, no have you seen possibly, uh, Trey,
129
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:45.759
how many laps are in a typical race?
130
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:46.720
Two?
131
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.159
Have you ever seen two hundred clips of NASCAR race?
132
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.480
Raj Y like just in a bar see it up
133
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.399
on TV and there's a clip and you just see it.
134
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.159
I bet in your lifetime you've seen one race just
135
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.039
wasn't all one raised. They were just together.
136
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.000
I couldn't tell you a single person's name or team
137
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:08.159
or nothing.
138
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.720
You know my name? You know one name from NASCAR?
139
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:13.320
Who's that?
140
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.440
You know? Dick Trickle.
141
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.480
No, but that's a fantastic name.
142
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.759
It wasn't Trery. Wasn't that the name from uh.
143
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:29.879
Days of Thunder?
144
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:34.000
Yeah, Days of Thunder? No, sorry, Cold Trickle.
145
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.919
Dick Trickle was actual racer. And that was the joke
146
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.039
of the old Sports Center with Dan Patrick and Keith Oberman.
147
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:44.720
Dick Trickle.
148
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.519
That's my bad. I got, I got, I got reality
149
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.279
and Hollywood crossed up. Hollywood's like, we can't name this
150
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.919
driver Dick Trickle. No one would believe it. So they
151
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.960
named Tom Cruise's character Cole Trickle, and then lo and behold.
152
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.600
A few years later, an actual Dick Trickle emerged onto
153
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.000
the racing scene.
154
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:06.960
And then into porn.
155
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:13.360
Hey, you lay the groundwork in one industry as you
156
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.159
build a second one down the light.
157
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.519
I've been I've been invited to the NASCAR races at
158
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.759
the Texas Motor Speedway.
159
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.679
But I've never they're fun. They're fun races, man, It's
160
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:27.360
it's at mm hmm.
161
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.679
Yeah. I know a buddy of mine always runs an
162
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.720
RV and goes out there for the whole time and
163
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.559
they partied up and all that, and I've been invited
164
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:42.320
to that, and I'm like, I will pass. I just
165
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.919
can't just watching cars turn left all day. I can't.
166
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:46.840
I can't do it.
167
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.679
Oh, it's it is cool when you get in the
168
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:54.639
stands and you know, you you can feel the cars. Uh,
169
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.399
But it's the the event as a whole. The race
170
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.320
For a lot of people, the race is second. Darry
171
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.279
did the big party that takes place all weekend, gotch
172
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.279
I mean we used to be part of a group
173
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:10.240
that we rent like five RVs and basically take up
174
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:14.960
this big section of campground. And I mean even to
175
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.000
the point these guys literally went out there in the
176
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.879
off season and poured the concrete so they could put
177
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.240
the stripper pull in and then you know, big crawfish
178
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.080
boil and it's it was fun.
179
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:33.559
Oh, crawfish and strippers, That's the American dream.
180
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.840
And raised a couple thousand dollars for charity in the process.
181
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.000
Oh, I'm glad she made some money. That's good.
182
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.279
Laugh all you want. But I went to middle school
183
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.279
with a girl named Charity.
184
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.440
Yeah, I went to school to a girl Charity in
185
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.240
one with Chastity. That was That was my favorite one.
186
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.080
I bet they had a good double feature at the
187
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:04.440
Platinum Club. I will say the uh, the NASCAR events
188
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.200
are a lot of fun I've had. There were some
189
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.159
people that would really the race, like not even secondary.
190
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.759
They didn't even care about the race. They would just
191
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.399
go for the campground party on the infield stuff they had.
192
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:17.679
The race was just whatever they might leave before the
193
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.480
race even happened, just to beat traffic.
194
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.519
Do you have to do you have to pay for
195
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:24.600
the campground stuff?
196
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.919
Mm hmm, it's not. I mean if for the actual sites,
197
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.440
I forgot what it is. It's not. It's not terribly expensive,
198
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.480
but I mean it's listen, people put out throw out
199
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.360
a lot of money. I mean, and the RVs and
200
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.840
everything else that go out there, and the setups. It's
201
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:45.440
like I said, it's a it's a fun time.
202
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.519
My buddy, my buddy Brut's been going twenty five years.
203
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:55.399
He's been going out there every single year, and it
204
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.320
says a blast, and I again been invited, and I.
205
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.440
Just I don't know.
206
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:02.879
I'm not going to tell you that you should go,
207
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.639
but you know, if you've been invited that many times,
208
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.919
it's an experience that you can add to your you know,
209
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.000
not necessarily a bucket list item you may currently have,
210
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:15.759
but you could just write it down then check it out.
211
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:17.399
But hey, I did this thing, now now I know
212
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.519
what it is, and maybe you get material out of
213
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:25.039
it as well. That's think of it as a work trip.
214
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:29.120
Raj okay, go out there for a night, have fun,
215
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.480
get drunk, see a bunch of boobs, and then uh
216
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.320
go for the start of the race, the pageantry, everything
217
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.639
else to fly over when you feel when they fire
218
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.240
up the engines and you can literally feel it, and then.
219
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.679
Leave when they're all distracted.
220
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.480
See this isn't in the stands. A buddy of mine
221
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.679
has a box there, and that's what that doesn't sound
222
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.600
like a lot of fun because I know he told
223
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.080
me himself, like he goes just for the same thing,
224
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.159
but everybody's watching it on the TVs inside the box.
225
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:02.000
They're not even watching the actual phrase.
226
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.519
Then pay for a cheap seat in the stands for
227
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.799
the start, you know it won't be that much. And uh,
228
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.440
like I said, feel, hell, you could just walk out
229
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:19.200
there and in the stands, feel that it's really cool
230
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.720
when they fire up the engines and you feel it
231
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.559
because ah and steam go buy a couple of times
232
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.759
it's cool. And then especially a Texas Motor Speedway, a
233
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.840
lot of times you get one car that just checks
234
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.000
out after about five ten laps. Take off if you're not,
235
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:40.600
if you're not enjoying org and then go up to
236
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.960
the box and eat and drink and be with the
237
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.639
fancy people.
238
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.279
Yeah.
239
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.720
Yeah, I will say this. Boxes are not as fun
240
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.200
as being in the stands.
241
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:55.000
Oh yeah, they have a box at and T and
242
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:57.679
I went and watched the game with them one time,
243
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.879
and literally everybody is watching the games from inside the
