We start off today talking about a story, that although it's an urban myth, is still horrifying:  A girl locks her ex-boyfriend in an escape room and he has to solve her issues to get out.  Next, we talk about Taneisha Thompson, the Hurst woman who got arrested for throwing her school zone speeding ticket on the ground, and Cam Skattebo is a moron.

8
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.840
A Texas woman is facing charges after allegedly booking an

9
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.399
entire escape room facility and luring her ex boyfriend into

10
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:59.399
what she advertised as a surprise Valentine's experience. Police say

11
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.880
he thought he was walking into a normal date night

12
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:08.400
activity instead. The room theme was titled the Truth Will

13
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:17.120
set You Free if you can find it, Oh boy,

14
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.519
So she threw him into the middle of her own

15
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:31.519
escape room titled Puzzles of Accountability on Valentine's Day. According

16
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:36.480
to witnesses, I know, I know you're about to burst,

17
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:36.879
aren't you.

18
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.480
This would be you know, my version of sauw.

19
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.560
That's exactly what this is. Yeah, all that's missing is

20
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.239
a tiny version of you tre riding around in circles

21
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.519
on a little tricycle. You want to play a game.

22
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.760
According to witnesses, the accountability puzzles included a locked box

23
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.120
labeled Communication that could only be opened by entering the

24
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:16.120
date he forgot their anniversary, a crossword puzzle where every

25
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:21.039
clue was one of his excuses, a wall of red

26
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.960
stream connecting printed screenshots labeled just a friend, a countdown

27
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:32.039
timer titled time you said you needed authorities claim. She

28
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.240
upgraded to the venue's full immersive drama package, which featured

29
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.159
hidden speakers playing voice notes on loop oog machine during

30
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.759
the confrontation chamber, and a final door that only unlocked

31
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:54.840
when he correctly answered define accountability.

32
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.280
I hed, this gives me nightmares because because you're because

33
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.039
beyond a date, you're you're dealing with her version of facts,

34
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.439
which means you're screwed.

35
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.960
Yeah.

36
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:12.599
Yeah, it's like.

37
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.879
Because it's the way things she remembers things. So your

38
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.479
crossword puzzle isn't what you said, it's what she heard.

39
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.800
And the crossword puzzle in front of you isn't about

40
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.319
the words you find, it's about the words she thinks

41
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:35.360
are in there. Just a friend, and.

42
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.719
This is everything my last relationship. She was the queen

43
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:47.000
of this, of the master of deflection. Anytime we're dealing

44
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.759
with something in the present, she is going to bring

45
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.159
up something from a year ago relationship.

46
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:52.840
What about is.

47
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:54.479
You know?

48
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.240
That's yeah, stuff you don't not only is it in

49
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.800
fact what you're like, I don't even remember having this discussion,

50
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.719
which a lot of times I was convinced we hadn't.

51
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.000
She just yeah, taking a fire that I would be like, okay, yeah.

52
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.759
Mmmm yeah. That's that's where that's where they can use

53
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.839
our poor memories against us. So they could just create

54
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.000
something and it doesn't have to be real and it

55
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.519
doesn't have to be so convincing that we end up

56
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.160
believing it. It just needs to plant the kernel of

57
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:29.759
doubt in our mind.

58
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.600
It's not even our poor memories, it's also the fact

59
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.319
she could have dreamt it and then just believed it

60
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:36.800
was real.

61
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.959
Those are even more dangerous. So yeah. A Texas woman

62
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.720
has been arrested after renting an escape room. A Texas

63
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.120
woman has been arrested after renting an escape room and

64
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.000
making her ex solve puzzles of accountability on Valentine's Day?

65
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.240
So what was the actual thing she was arrested for?

66
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:03.040
Was a false imprisonment? Well, the truth Jerry like one

67
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.160
of her puzzles will set you free? And this man.

68
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:13.439
Because if this seems like an extreme scenario Texas woman

69
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.279
arrested after renting an escape room and making her ex

70
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:22.560
soft puzzles of accountability on Valentine's Day, this sounds like

71
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:27.839
it would have been more believable had the roles been reversed,

72
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:36.199
because it sounded odd to me having her challenge him

73
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.199
on puzzles of accountability? Trey, what's your favorite line from

74
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:42.160
as good as it gets?

75
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.120
I took a woman, and.

76
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.720
How do you write women? So well?

77
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.519
I take a man and I strip away account God,

78
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.480
I just forgot the line reason and account of accountability.

79
00:05:58.519 --> 00:05:59.240
Yeah.

80
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.839
Yeah, So I smelled a stinky on this story. I

81
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.600
saw it in a few different places and I was like,

82
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.920
you know, this seems this seems pretty extreme. Let me

83
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.800
check on this. This story does not seem to be real.

84
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.040
This is only a social media news article that has

85
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.680
made the rounds and it keeps boomeranging around the social

86
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.279
media platforms. There is no credible source to this story.

87
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.879
So what you're saying is women just aren't smart enough

88
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.240
or to have enough initiative to do this.

89
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.639
Oh, I didn't say that no sounds like what you said.

90
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.000
No god, oh my god, no, the trade shut up?

91
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.759
All right, I will end up in an escape room,

92
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.199
but which there is no escape.

93
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.040
Because you said this would only be believable if situations

94
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.240
were reversed. No man is going to remember all this

95
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.000
stuff and go to this much trouble to prove a point.

96
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.160
So so what you're saying is, you know, women just wouldn't.

97
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:56.079
They just couldn't do something like this.

98
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.000
Don't turn this around me. I stepped this up to

99
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.000
put you on a corner.

100
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.240
Baby. How's that working so far?

101
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:14.120
But not good? You're right all the details stuff. Yeah,

102
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.240
but when I saw this headline and I saw Texas

103
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:23.720
person escape room puzzles of accountability, I actually checked on

104
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.160
it really quickly to make sure you hadn't been arrested Tree.

105
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.639
I wouldn't or not that you had been arrested.

106
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.519
That, but that you you weren't the one that.

107
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.079
Yeah, that you weren't the one that did this or

108
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:38.600
were falsely prison yet.

109
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.360
Yeah, I this. I've had some exces that are crazy

110
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:46.040
enough to do this.

111
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.879
I would like to think I would be smart enough

112
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.040
not to get lured in. It's one thing, if it's

113
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.879
your current and like this is her way of making

114
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.319
a point. But if my ex invited me to an

115
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.439
escape room, mm hmm.

116
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.240
All the way off.

117
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.439
Yeah, that's a big red flag, you know, you know

118
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:12.000
the big flags one on the edge of Dallas and Irving.

119
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.639
Bigger than those, oh yeah, all red way bigger.

120
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.920
Oh yeah, Clay Cooley would have to get some bigger

121
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.759
flags too. Yeah.

122
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:24.959
No.

123
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:31.439
So while this story appears to be false, there is

124
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.840
something we need to consider, and that is this is

125
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:41.200
a really good idea and this might inspire someone.

126
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.080
Again. You know.

127
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.720
I if you are a guy and your ex invites

128
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.840
you to an escape room and you go, you have it,

129
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:55.759
you have it coming to you.

130
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.399
You do not go.

131
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.840
I just hope they have some kind of live stream

132
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.200
and we can all well. I mean, you know, this

133
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:10.360
is like the Truman Show, like just just and met

134
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.080
with some kind of horror movie. Because the only thing

135
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.399
it could make it better is like if the room

136
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.720
is slowly filling up with water.

137
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.919
Oh yeah, yeah, even better.

138
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:20.679
But think it was that way if you wanted to

139
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.600
resign yourself, you could just stand there for a little

140
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.759
while and it would all be better, or just avail deeply.

141
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.600
I was gonna say, or just just go face first

142
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.679
into the.

143
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.200
Sweet release of death. I believe it's the phrase.

144
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.039
He drowned in two inches of water. Yeah, he gave

145
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:35.559
up quick.

146
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:42.320
All he was doing was speeding up the inevita. But

147
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.240
it is it really is. This is like, this is

148
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:49.399
like a a romantic version of romantic. This is this

149
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:54.559
is a relationship version of saws. Allegedly, Texas woman arrested

150
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.360
for renting an escape room and making her ex soft

151
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:01.399
puzzles of accountability on Valentine Today. If you happen to

152
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.519
find yourself in that room surrounded by all these puzzles

153
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.440
of accountability, I would also be looking for the saw

154
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.720
in the middle of the floor so it can go

155
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.600
ahead and start trying to saw my foot off.

156
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:14.480
I mean.

157
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.600
A woman, you know, creating puzzles of accountability. I mean,

158
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.799
did they call the escape room house of irony?

159

164
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.639
the next severe storm. Best way to go about that

165
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.960
is to call Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restored

166
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.200
at eight three three Cook d FW. When someone calls you,

167
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.000
Daniel Ford that free roof inspection, about how long does

168
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.279
it date before you can get out there and you know,

169
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:09.919
take a look around and let them know what they got.

170
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:12.720
I mean emergency calls, we try to get out their

171
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.720
same day. So if they call and they need some assistance,

172
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.440
we're going to do everything we can to get out

173
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.559
there and make sure the home is protected. If it's

174
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.480
a routine, you know, check up inspections, we try to

175
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.440
have those out twenty four to forty eight hours, depending

176
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.360
on the schedule of the client. Sometimes the client wants

177
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.360
to be out there with us, meet us talk about

178
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.000
their concerns, and that's great. We do want to meet

179
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:33.600
all of our clients face to face and so that

180
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:34.799
way we make a good connection.

181
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:36.919
If the client doesn't care, you.

182
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.840
Know, what time we get out there, then we'll schedule

183
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.000
that accordingly with one of our guys. We have a

184
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.360
really good group of guys that all are educated, know

185
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.000
what they're looking for and really want to do the

186
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.720
best thing for the client. So it all depends on you,

187
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.480
but our goal is definitely twenty four to forty eight hours.

188
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.159
So get that scheduled today. That way you know if

189
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:59.440
your roof is ready to withstand the next storm to come.

you to our dear friends and sponsors cookdfwof Restoration. Back

200
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.159
inside the Treehouse, I'm Dan along with Tray and Jerry.

201
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.519
Tanisha Thompson is accusing a Hurst police officer of using

202
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:56.000
excessive force when giving her a citation for speeding in

203
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:02.759
a school zone. She actually released cell phone video that

204
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.519
she had recorded from the inside of her vehicle when

205
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.240
she was dragged out of her vehicle by the Hearst

206
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:14.440
police officer for her refusal to take a ticket. Well,

207
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.440
since that went viral, Hearst PD said, hey, we have

208
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.320
cameras too, driving.

209
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:21.799
Through a school zone going forty that's a twenty five

210
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.480
through there. Do you have your driver's license group of

211
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.440
insurance with you today?

212
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:25.720
Hey?

213
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.519
And so here you have the body cam of the

214
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:36.960
officer approaching Tanisha and conducting his investigation up the traffic stop.

215
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.159
What does it tray? You look like you got a question?

216
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:44.039
So this is the same story like it actually came

217
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.519
out like she released the video like a month ago. Yep, okay,

218
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:55.000
and okay, all right, yeah, because I all right, it's just.

219
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.080
If only they taste her.

220
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.120
That's the only thing this is missing. Swear to god,

221
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.799
it's the only thing that it's missing. She released a

222
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.159
video about a month ago. It sort of went viral,

223
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.519
and Hearst Police did its job, conducted its own internal

224
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.600
investigation and said, yeah, we feel like the officer did

225
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.440
just fine and in fact followed proper protocols and policies

226
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.039
of the Hurst Police Department, and so much so that

227
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.879
we decided to share with you his body can so

228
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:30.360
you can see the full video, not just Tanishe's clip job.

229
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.159
I'll let the video play before I comment because fair. Okay.

230
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:42.480
So here's the Hurst officer approaching Tanisha saying, hey, you

231
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.399
you were speeding through a school zone there.

232
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:48.720
First police department corporal chats with Tanisha Thompson.

233
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:53.919
Were you all heading to this afternoon coming from?

234
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:54.679
That's a question.

235
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.600
First of all, she's fine, well within her rights to

236
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.200
respond that way to the officer. What she doesn't realize

237
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.159
is that the reason why the officer is asking her

238
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.840
these questions is not because he's being polite or nosy.

239
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.279
It's because he wants to see not only what she says,

240
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.480
but how she says it. Because if you're going forty

241
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:17.480
through a twenty five mile proper school zone, maybe you're

242
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.279
on something, maybe you've been drinking. This is why they

243
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.480
talk to you. They want to see if you are slurring,

244
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.639
and they also want to see if they smell anything

245
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.120
on your breath. But anyway, Tanisia holds for him, I'm sorry,

246
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.080
it's not a good okay.

247
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.279
Thompson, who has her child in the front passenger seat,

248
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.720
does not appear to be willing to chat with the

249
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:42.679
corporal who's investigating her for allegedly speeding in a school zone.

250
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:46.840
This all happened back on January sixteenth. The corporal continues

251
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.519
to ask questions, any.

252
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.240
Reason for the hurry this afternoon. I wasn't in a hurry.

253
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.120
I didn't even see school. There's a flashing signal as

254
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.919
you were driving through.

255
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.600
The corporal heads to his police vehicle, returning minutes later

256
00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.840
with a traffic citation.

257
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.519
Okay, Tanisha, you'll be receiving a citation today for the speed.

258
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.360
I just need to get a signature from you. This

259
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.039
is not an emission of guilt. It's a promise. You're

260
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.639
not gonna sign it. That's fine, I'll just put refuse.

261
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.960
The encounter further escalates as you see Thompson throw the

262
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:16.720
ticket back at the officer.

263
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.879
All right, here's your copy of the citation.

264
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.440
This is where it gets interesting, and this is where

265
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.480
we'll describe it for you. If you're listening, this would

266
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.919
be a good moment to promote our Patreon where you

267
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.720
can watch this atreon dot com, slash Treehouse on air.

268
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.480
As far as the bills, you know. So he's trying

269
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.159
to hander the paper version of the ticket that she

270
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.000
won't sign. But I'll like I like he said, all

271
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.080
he has to do is just you know, check a

272
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.320
little box. She refused to sign. You're still gonna get

273
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.240
the ticket, that doesn't matter. So he tries to hand

274
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.879
her the ticket and she won't accept it.

275
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:48.360
Take it, boy, it's going to take it because it's

276
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:48.919
your citation.

277
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:50.720
That's your citation.

278
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.399
So then he just kind she won't take it. She

279
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:56.840
recoils and he just kind of drops the ticket inside

280
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.759
the window. She then grabs it off of her lap

281
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.960
and throws it out of her window, to which the

282
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:10.680
officer responds that glittering slip out of the corn. Lady,

283
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:12.680
come on, and oh.

284
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.920
I don't know whether to give her credit for being

285
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.680
honest or stupid. But in her video it shows her

286
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:29.240
doing throwing the ticket back out mm hmmm. Which it's

287
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:35.519
gonna get you one way ticket to jail. Like if

288
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:40.920
you've seen these videos, if you you know, you know,

289
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:43.640
it's okay, you know, crappy attitude with the officer, everything

290
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:48.240
else fine, whatever. But and the video I saw it

291
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.279
was obviously edited for social media because it it shows

292
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.240
what's about to happen first, then then it goes back

293
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.039
and then it shows the rest of the story, one

294
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:59.119
of which is what what preceded the hauling out of

295
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.920
the car was she throws the ticket back on the ground.

296
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.359
Big no, no, don't do that. Here's a hot tip.

297
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.920
Here's a pro tip for you. Don't commit a crime

298
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.799
in front of the police officer who is conducting the investigation,

299
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.599
slash issuing, issuing you a citation for another crime. Let's

300
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.279
not dog pile on on ourselves.

301
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:24.839
You know, hand off me, Keep your hand off me.

302
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.039
I'm a supervisor.

303
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:31.799
That part is also very important. I understand she doesn't

304
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:33.720
want to get out, she wants a supervisor. But then

305
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.119
he calmly responds, I am a supervisor.

306
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:44.519
Well, there's also this big misconception that it started with.

307
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.640
The sovereign citizen crap.

308
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.880
But there's this big misconception that if you ask for

309
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.480
a supervisor.

310
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.920
They have to send one. They don't. A lot of

311
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.799
times they will just for the headache, to avoid the headache,

312
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:09.680
but they don't. So keep that in mind, folks.

313
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.319
Yeah mm hmm, just because you ask doesn't mean they're

314
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:15.279
going to do it.

315
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.400
Ma'am, chill hand, I'm not letting go.

316
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.880
The corporal tries to place Thompson under arrest for nearly

317
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.960
three minutes, finally doing so.

318
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:35.000
Once back up arrive. Oh, look who's on the ground

319
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:50.680
next to the ticket? Now roll over? Okay, this is

320
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.440
the part of the video where I'm on her side.

321
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.359
That's a fair question. Every time I see these videos,

322
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.599
the cops don't seem to understand it's really difficult for

323
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:01.359
the suspect to get their arm or to roll over

324
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.640
when you are fully on top of them. But I

325
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:06.920
understand that's what they're supposed to say. I give her

326
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.400
credit for saying, well, I can't because you're on top

327
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.960
of me.

328
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:15.720
I had simply tossed a ticket, and.

329
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:20.920
Then he simply tossed you, Trey. Have you seen any

330
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:23.559
of this press conference that she held along with her

331
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:30.000
civil rights attorney Lee Merritt, I have not. All Right, well,

332
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.480
let me let me share this with you then, because

333
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.640
it just keeps getting better and better. Bear with me

334
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:37.279
just a moment.

335
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:39.920
I mean one of the.

336
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.200
As he said, the officer sat there for three minutes

337
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.200
and did not probably could have really forced you out

338
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.880
of the car, but waited for backup so they could

339
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.440
do it. Because had you been in Boytant Beach, he

340
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.359
would have just tasted your ass a lot.

341
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.079
And this this very much has Boyton Beach vibes.

342
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:00.599
Yeah, several times.

343
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:06.039
Mm hmm. She does use the word so here she

344
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:11.480
is here, she is I believe yesterday or a couple

345
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.519
of days ago, outside of I think Hurst City Hall

346
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:16.880
with her attorney Lee merrit As she makes a statement

347
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:17.720
about the incident.

348
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.079
I had simply tossed the ticket.

349
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:23.640
Thompson read a statement in front of reporters Tuesday evening

350
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:27.599
before sharing her story with Hurst City Council. Her attorney

351
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:31.079
Lee Merritt answered questions, do.

352
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:34.960
You see this There's a severe disconnect here when she

353
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:39.680
is saying I simply tossed a ticket. Yeah, that's littering.

354
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:42.559
It Does it seem like in the normal course of

355
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.359
a day you should be arrested for that. Absolutely, not

356
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:50.680
issued a citation. Maybe, But considering you were speeding through

357
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.880
a school zone and then being belligerent with the officer,

358
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:58.160
all you did was give him a reason when you

359
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.160
threw the ticket out the window. Gave him a reason

360
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.200
to throw cuffs.

361
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:09.160
Like speeding a lot, like over twice the speed limit

362
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.240
in a school zone. That's I'm surprised she didn't get

363
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:13.440
pulled out of the car for that.

364
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:18.319
Yeah, that's so. I'm this is actually really good. What

365
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:20.839
Lee Merritt her attorney says, here, so listen, here.

366
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.920
Would you recommend to clients moving forward that they should

367
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.440
not crinkle up a traffic ticket and throw it out

368
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:29.200
the window.

369
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:32.720
I tell my clients, I tell the public in general,

370
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:35.000
is not bess to litigate a case on the side

371
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.119
of the road. If you're upset about a police encounter,

372
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.319
hold your piece, hire an attorney, viola complaint with the

373
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:40.960
police department.

374
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.200
Later.

375
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:46.720
Amen, Mister merritt Well said absolutely, Well said it's important.

376
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:51.559
It's important that you hear this because they are considering

377
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:56.880
legal action against the department. They are considering a civil

378
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:02.440
rights lawsuit against the department. Word here is considering.

379
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.880
Later, I let the public notes, because this is the law,

380
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:08.039
that you actually have every right to be rude to

381
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:09.880
law enforcement, not best practice.

382
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:11.480
Do you have every right to be rude?

383
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:14.440
Nuts? And I love that there. You have every right

384
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.599
to be rude, not best practice, but every right to

385
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.039
do it. What he is doing is laying the foundation

386
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:24.119
not for a lawsuit to be filed, but for the

387
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.160
conversation he's going to have to have with Tanisha and

388
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.799
saying you should have just taken the ticket, Tanisha, and

389
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.519
you're gonna owe me some money because this case is

390
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.200
not going to move forward. You will not you will

391
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.799
not be getting paid on this, which means I'm not

392
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.400
getting paid on this in the amount that you think

393
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:43.000
you should be.

394
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:49.839
And honestly, if I am the attorney representing Hurst, if this,

395
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.519
if they should pursue a trial, my opening statement is

396
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:54.519
this press conference.

397
00:23:54.920 --> 00:24:01.920
Yes, you're what.

398
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:04.799
I'm gonna go old school. I'm gonna like like we

399
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:06.920
were in school. I'm gonna wheel in the TV on

400
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.200
a stand with the VCR.

401
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.839
I'm gonna pomp it in. I'm gonna go here.

402
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:16.079
Ah uh, ladies and like and it's the opening statement, right,

403
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:19.720
ladies and gentlemen of the jury. I present to you

404
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:25.119
evidence exhibit a hit play. And then when it's over, uh,

405
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:28.519
your honor, the prosecution rests. We're all done here. It

406
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:29.839
took about five minutes.

407
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.319
If necessary, I'll put the TV on the witness stand.

408
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:39.400
That way, you know, Jimmy the Bayliff feels like he's

409
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:41.359
a part of it and gets to swear something in

410
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:56.720
Oh wait, hang on, uh, this is a chief Billy Redle.

411
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.279
Attorney Fola complained with the police department later. I let

412
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.559
the public not just because this is the law that

413
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:08.319
you actually have every right to be ruled to law enforcement,

414
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:09.400
not best practice.

415
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.039
Do you have every right to be ruled?

416
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.319
Merrett is debating filing a federal civil rights lawsuit. Hurst

417
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:17.319
PD is standing by its officer.

418
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.960
Corporal Morgan acted in full accordance with the law and

419
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:25.079
with our department's policies, and the department stands firmly behind

420
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:25.759
his actions.

421
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:31.880
So tonight I spoke with criminologist Alex del Carmen, and

422
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.119
he analyzed that body camera footage and based upon what

423
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.880
he has seen, he believes the officer's actions were lawful.

424
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:42.119
We will be posting his full quote over our website.

425
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.400
That's foxforrenews dot com.

426
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:50.000
So yeah, I believe herst is going to be just fine.

427
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:53.799
But Tanisha, on the other hand, gonna learn a big,

428
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.359
big lesson.

429
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:58.079
And then after all of that, that ticket has got

430
00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:59.839
to be stupid expensive.

431
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.799
Well yeah, because not just for the ticket for the speeding,

432
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.920
but the ticket for the littering and then the bills

433
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.960
she's gonna get from mister Merritt because he ain't cheap. Mmmm.

434
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:15.680
You think this was pro bono?

435
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:17.599
Oh?

436
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.839
I think I think a lot of times any time

437
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:21.720
an attorney can get in front of camera, they'll they'll

438
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.480
reduce their rates.

439
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.359
Oh yeah, yeah, No, I think you may be right,

440
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.880
but I also feel like that they'll reduce their rate,

441
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.400
especially if they think there's gonna be something on the

442
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.039
back end. And I don't think there's gonna be anything

443
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.319
on the back end for mister Merritt here, So maybe

444
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:40.039
maybe the payment is just going to be getting on

445
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.480
TV saying hey, if you have a real problem, I'll

446
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:44.039
represent you, not Tanisi here.

447
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:49.319
She should have just taken you know what, I would

448
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:55.400
hire him because common sense absolutely, I mean everything what

449
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:58.799
he said is absolutely Yes, you have every right to

450
00:26:58.839 --> 00:26:59.759
be rude of the officer.

451
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:01.079
I wouldn't advise it.

452
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:08.119
I also wouldn't advise litigating the case at the scene

453
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:08.720
of the crime.

454
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:12.240
And don't mess with Texas.

455
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:15.440

468
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.480
Who calls us? That's too creepy? Jerry? Back inside the

469
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.079
tree House, I'm Danna Malley along with Trey Trendholm and

470
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:18.279
the star of Hot Girls in Love, Jerry Caldwell. I

471
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.880
did want to share with you Tanisha's full statement fool,

472
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:24.839
because it's important that you hear this. I want us

473
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.079
to be balanced here on this show. So while I

474
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:31.480
feel confident that we all agree that Tanisha should just

475
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.240
take the f and ticket, I want to be I

476
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.960
want to be fair to her. In in her press

477
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:41.359
conference with her very shrewd attorney, she says, I am

478
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.599
speaking today after a Violet arrest that I never could

479
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.200
have imagined I could have. I've seen this a lot.

480
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:49.839
I've seen I've seen I've seen rest videos like this

481
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.720
countless times. I know exactly what was going to happen. Honestly,

482
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:54.839
the only thing I'm surprised about is that you didn't

483
00:28:54.839 --> 00:29:00.559
get lit up by a taser. She also says during

484
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:02.960
the arrest she sustained a black eye, a busted lip,

485
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:06.359
eating stitches, and severe bruises all over my body. That's

486
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.240
what happens when you get tossed to the ground. I

487
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.319
get that unfortunate, yes, but it's a byproduct of your

488
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:14.599
own actions. She says. Since that day, I have lived

489
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.680
in constant fear every time I see a police officer.

490
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.519
I have faced cruel backlash for simply seeking accountability. That

491
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:28.160
means she got hate in the comments. The incident happened

492
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:29.839
in January, but did not come to light until the

493
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.039
video was posted this month and went viral. According to

494
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:35.759
Hirst PD, it happened January sixteenth, twenty twenty six, when

495
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:40.319
Hurst arrived at the traffic stop involving Tanisha Thompson. The

496
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:43.480
footage captured on her phone showed the moments having the

497
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:49.400
encounter escalated after she refused to accept the ticket. One

498
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:53.079
day after WFAA reported the story, the Hurst Police Department

499
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.400
released their body camera footage that we just went through

500
00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:01.319
and said that we stand firmly behind our officer and

501
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:02.279
his actions.

502
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:10.119
Bravo Hurst for doing so, But I how old is.

503
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:17.839
Tanisha did it say I don't think this story mentions yeah, yeah,

504
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:21.039
she's got a fifteen year old son, so I'll assume thirties,

505
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:22.799
maybe forties.

506
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:30.200
I'm gonna guess she has social media, so to say say,

507
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:34.319
you don't you can't imagine anything like this. There are

508
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:41.880
thousands of videos of this scenario, and quite frankly, the

509
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:46.759
officer showed a good deal of restraint in waiting for

510
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:50.799
like he could have chosen to get her out himself,

511
00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:53.480
and that would have probably been much worse and or

512
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:56.680
involved voltage.

513
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:01.920
I should have been better off just going you know what,

514
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:02.680
I had a bad day.

515
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:08.480
I screwed up, and you know what the officer would

516
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:11.039
have been like, Okay, m.

517
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:16.400
Yeah, but you want to put your toes right there

518
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:21.799
on the precipice and then hurl yourself over the edge.

519
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:25.079
Wonder where your bruising battered at the bottom of the cliff.

520
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.519
Just look at his waist. There are multiple reasons why

521
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:32.480
you're not gonna win this.

522
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:40.279
Battle, And like a video game, each level gets harder

523
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.559
and harder across that mid section.

524
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:46.440
And the power up isn't gonna be what you think.

525
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:51.759
It really is not. I mean, you might see some mushrooms.

526
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:57.839
You might see some freaky turtles. Yeah.

527
00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:59.759
Anyway, that's.

528
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:03.480
As I was watching that video, because the first time

529
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:05.279
I saw it, I'm just saying, over and over, take

530
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:09.079
the ticket, Tanisha, Tanisha, Tanisha, Tanisha, take the ticket, Tannisia. Nope,

531
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:10.119
she didn't take it well.

532
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:18.480
And listen, there's a lot of things where there might

533
00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:22.119
be some gray area, but especially you're in a school zone,

534
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:26.160
there's the one thing that you're you're not gonna.

535
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:30.519
Get any leeway on. That's yeah, like the biggest note.

536
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:32.440
And you've got a kid. You shouldn't know that.

537
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:35.319
And I think that's one of the biggest areas of

538
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.480
uh non sympathy for her is the fact that this

539
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:43.559
all started because she was speeding through a school zone

540
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:46.759
and then she got indignant about it about getting the

541
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:53.400
citation and the whole scenario. It's just listen, he's not

542
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:54.519
he's not making it up.

543
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:58.480
Her attorney really, I mean, it was the most sound advice.

544
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.440
Don't don't try to let it the matter on the

545
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:06.200
side of the road. I mean, yeah, yeah, you can

546
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:07.279
be rude to the officer.

547
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:14.720
Wouldn't advise it, because then when you drop that ticket

548
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:15.720
they drop you.

549
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:23.119
Yeah, and I her video showed it even better. It

550
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:26.559
wasn't a oops I dropped the ticket. It was I

551
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:27.680
threw it out the window.

552
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:31.000
Oh yeah, yeah, No, there was some serious attitude. It's

553
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:34.319
like I don't want that. It's like, okay, here we go.

554
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:39.480
Time for the fun, right and and you, honestly, that's

555
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:39.720
not it.

556
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:43.240
This isn't a deal where you say I'm black, black, white,

557
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:44.359
red polka dot.

558
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:46.160
You pull that crap with.

559
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.799
An officer, especially we're talking about speeding in a school zone,

560
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:51.519
You're gonna get cuff slapped on you.

561
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:51.799
You are.

562
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:53.920
And I will say this though, I think it's important

563
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:56.319
to mention that this is why I'm not a police officer,

564
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:04.799
because he showed something called restraint before putting on restraints.

565
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:07.039
As soon as as soon as that piece of paper

566
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:09.159
goes crumple crumple, fund I am.

567
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:09.559
I am.

568
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:12.679
I'm like, my eyes are gonna widen as I reach

569
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.920
for the taser. I'm like, we I'm gonna make a

570
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.599
Christmas tree in the middle of January. I didn't take

571
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:25.880
my lights down. And here's why. Well, the good news

572
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.559
for Tanisha here is that she's not the only moron

573
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:33.760
on the planet. And she's also not the only moron

574
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:39.039
who's making an appearance today inside the treehouse. Uh Trey, Jerry,

575
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:43.559
I'd like to offer this piece of evidence on New

576
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:48.880
York Giants running back Cam Skuttaboo showing us all how

577
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:54.079
stupid he is on a podcast, which is a perfect

578
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:59.760
spot to do it. I think CT is a real thing. No,

579
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:07.639
that's an excuse. Do you think CTE is a real thing? No?

580
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:12.679
I think CT is a real thing. No, that's an excuse.

581
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:18.280
I think wow. Uh me thinks Cam may already have

582
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:24.360
some ct E if he's stupid enough to think that. Mmm, wow,

583
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:30.320
I know right, But he's not done. This is this

584
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:36.559
is here a professional football player saying CT isn't real,

585
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.800
it's an excuse. And that's not the dumbest thing he

586
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:43.800
says in this clip. ASTHMA is an excuse too.

587
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:44.679
Yeah?

588
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.239
Is that a hot take? No, that's a good take.

589
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.000
Is there anything ASTHMA is fake?

590
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.920
Wait? Can you can you start this over? The clip?

591
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:55.119
Over?

592
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.119
I I I need to soak it all in.

593
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.440
Okay, here we go. I will hit play and leave

594
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:04.599
it uninterrupted for New York Giants running back Cam Skiddabo

595
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.280
is here to tell us how stupid he is. I

596
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:11.679
think CT is a real thing. No, that's an excuse.

597
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:13.639
I think asthma is an excuse too.

598
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:14.480
Yeah.

599
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.880
Is that a hot take? No, that's a good tides.

600
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:21.280
Is there anything worse than when you're in fourth grade

601
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:25.440
and someone's huffing and puffing you're just soft? Yeah? Just

602
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:35.480
literally be better there, touchdown. Never underestimate a man's willingness

603
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.800
to show you how stupid he is. And this is

604
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:44.880
the cam Skettaboo addition. Yep, yep, wow.

605
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:47.400
I have just.

606
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:58.400
You know, it has been said that, especially in for

607
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.119
the New York Giants, is whom he along with his

608
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:03.440
quarterback Jackson Dart that happened.

609
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:05.440
They happened to both be white and.

610
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:14.719
Quite exciting to watch, and fans really have gotten behind them.

611
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:19.639
But good god, man, like you're you're you're not that popular,

612
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:22.679
You're not that good. You haven't won a super Bowl,

613
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.639
you you know, Aaron Rodgers went off the deep end

614
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:29.719
after he won a Super Bowl and was generally regarded

615
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:31.559
as one of the best quarterbacks ever.

616
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:35.400
You, sir, are not. You had a flash of a

617
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:36.840
breakout year, then you got hurt.

618
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:45.000
Yeah, and not only I mean, I can't even have

619
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:50.840
I can't even fathom what the NFLPA, who has fought for,

620
00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:54.840
you know, players to get compensation and taken care of.

621
00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:58.800
Going back, you.

622
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:02.239
Know, to the eighties, My godfather played for the Chiefs.

623
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:06.280
The most he ever played, I mean, the most he

624
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:08.199
ever made in a year, and he was good at

625
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:10.440
one point, voided one of the top ten toughest players

626
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:13.280
playing in the NFL. Played with broken bones everything else.

627
00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:17.079
The most he ever made in a season is year

628
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.039
he won the Super Bowl, went to the Pro Bowl,

629
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:26.159
and I think he made sixty or sixty five thousand,

630
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:29.840
And it wasn't until the strike in the eighties and

631
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.719
then like he made more money when they finally started

632
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:35.159
taking care of players than he ever did playing and

633
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:40.880
he was crippled. And so you're just crapping all over

634
00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:44.679
all the work that they have done for years on CTE,

635
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:49.320
I mean, and it's just common since when you're getting

636
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:54.719
your head busted around NonStop for years, your brain's.

637
00:38:54.400 --> 00:39:00.440
Probably gonna have a little damage, especially when you think

638
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:02.840
about and we'll get back to the silliness side of

639
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:08.079
this and making fun of Cam for being an abject moron, but.

640
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:13.679
From a human side of it, there have been numerous

641
00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:18.960
former players, not just NFL college all of it, but

642
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:23.079
there have been numerous former football players that have killed

643
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:28.719
themselves as a result of CTE. One of the ones

644
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.000
that has stayed with me the longest and has been

645
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:36.480
the most poignant was Junior Sayou's death. Junior saw as

646
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.400
a Cowboys fan, was one of my favorite non Cowboys

647
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:42.599
players when he was playing. I loved watching him play

648
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:48.280
for the Chargers, absolutely loved watching him play. And he

649
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:52.000
didn't just kill himself because of CTE, but he put

650
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:55.639
a lot of thought into how he did it. He

651
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.920
was so convinced that he had this new rumored int

652
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.519
alopathy thing that when he took his own life with

653
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.679
a gun a shotgun, I believe he didn't do it

654
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:11.199
the way most did. He took it in the chest

655
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:16.119
so he could preserve his brain to be examined posthumously,

656
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:20.079
because he knew in order to confirm it that's the

657
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:23.719
only way to confirm it was with by inspecting the brain,

658
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:25.239
and there's no way to do it while you're alive.

659
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:26.599
So he killed.

660
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:29.480
Himself by taking a shotgun blast to the chest and

661
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.800
they confirmed it, Yes, he had CTE. The suicide was

662
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:35.360
a direct cause of it. And then you got this

663
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:40.719
idiot running back who hasn't even done the normal NFL

664
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:44.280
thing of be great, then you can get away with

665
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:49.400
some stupid stuff. He's just starting out stupid. You are

666
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:53.719
pissing and laughing on the graves of players that came before.

667
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:58.280
You say that to set, Say that to Junior Seal's family,

668
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:00.960
along with a number of other former football players that

669
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:03.400
have dealt with this and their families. Not on a

670
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:07.039
podcast with your bro who's dressed up like a Master's winner.

671
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:12.159
And not only in Junior Seyow.

672
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:18.000
Left instructions, basically left details of why he did it

673
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:23.000
this way and instructed them to get his brain too.

674
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:25.440
I forgot that where where he wanted it sent. But

675
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:27.920
it was the one doing the majority of the research

676
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:28.800
on CTE.

677
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:31.400
Yeah, and when you find my body do this.

678
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:34.920
Yeah. And he's not the only person who's done that.

679
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:36.039
Yeah.

680
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:37.000
And I mean.

681
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:40.599
You look at I mean I have seen some former

682
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:44.119
players lately where you go, oh, that's I mean Tony

683
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:47.039
Dorsett has said like sometimes he can't remember how to.

684
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.800
Get home mm hm.

685
00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:51.239
And you know you're talking about the the encephalitis and

686
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:56.960
off of the ct well, yeah, but like I have

687
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.280
a friend that had got encephalitis, and I've watched her

688
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:05.440
struggle with it, and uh, you know it's she works

689
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:07.280
her ass off, but you know that's still.

690
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:12.639
It's just tragic. I mean that the asthma thing, that's.

691
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:14.960
Just stupid breath.

692
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:18.119
And the guy's going, you know, your fourth grade you're huffing.

693
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.079
That is something a fourth grader would say, Oh, you're

694
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:24.159
just trying to get out out of you know, sprints

695
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:24.559
or whatever.

696
00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:28.159
Right, Yeah, and.

697
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:30.719
What a jack off?

698
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:37.280
Well said thanks, And yeah the host too. You didn't

699
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:38.039
win the masters?

700
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:45.119
Uh if your cause playing a Master's champion for your podcast,

701
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:47.039
that's that's kind of that's kind of sad.

702
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:49.840
I forget is he in a gold jacket or a

703
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:50.480
green jacket?

704
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:56.639
It's green? Okay? Yeah, and just been the height of irony.

705
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.880
Uh but you know what, and here's going kind of

706
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:06.920
back to the silliness aspect of this. I've enjoyed watching

707
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:11.199
the cams getaboo play talking about a guy who did

708
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:16.440
all things miraculous when he was at Arizona State, the

709
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:21.159
bastion of Scientific Research University Arizona State, in which he

710
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:25.199
got his degree in twenty twenty four in Liberal Studies

711
00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:31.760
so basically just a bunch of stuff, just took a

712
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:34.840
bunch of classes, took a bunch of classes that would

713
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:39.880
amount to enough hours to attain a degree. I think

714
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:41.960
it would have done him well. It would have served

715
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:48.480
him better had he actually gone to class some just

716
00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:52.760
one class, just intro to science.

717
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:58.119
It would serve him well to run the stuff by

718
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:01.360
an agent, an advisor something.

719
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:05.079
I'm sure. I'm sure the Giants front office is thrilled.

720
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:15.199
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean that that's just it.

721
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:19.000
What point are you trying to make?

722
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:20.840
Exactly? That was my thought.

723
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:25.559
What's the endgame of of saying this?

724
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:29.480
That theme is that he's going to share his The

725
00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:31.880
end game is he is sharing his immense knowledge with

726
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:33.480
the rest of us, and we all need to be

727
00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:37.800
grateful for it, because clearly he's right.

728
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:42.280
I mean, well, yeah, this isn't if this was twenty

729
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:43.760
five years ago.

730
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:48.519
I'll say, when this when we were first starting to

731
00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:52.639
discuss CTE and long term damage. I'm sure there were

732
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:55.920
some people who said this, Yeah, but we're now talking

733
00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:03.199
about again billions of dollar later of research of hard evidence,

734
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.840
and you're pulling this. I mean, I guess maybe he

735
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:12.559
thinks he's gonna appeal to his tough guy working man.

736
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:18.000
They just gotta do it. You just got to persevere.

737
00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:20.880
There is nothing between you and your goal except you.

738
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:28.480
Well, look, it's America, and America is a wonderful place

739
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:32.960
where America will allow you to say any stupid thing

740
00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:38.639
you want. Yay free speech. And in the spirit of that,

741
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:43.199
on the heels of Camp Skattaboo, saying CT is fake

742
00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:47.320
and asthma is an excuse. I would like to share

743
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:53.159
my own medical knowledge with you. My extensive research has

744
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:58.079
led me to believe that an open right angle, that

745
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:02.000
an open right ankle, this location, a fractured fibula, and

746
00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:05.760
ruptured deltoid ligament are fake. I don't think they're real.

747
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:08.679
I think it's an excuse. I think it makes you

748
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:12.320
softer than the snuggle Bear. I think it makes you

749
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.199
softer than an entire roll of charm and you big

750
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:23.519
giant pussy. Cool science, that's science for you.

751
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:25.679
What's that, I said, Tape an aspirin to it and

752
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:26.400
get back in there.

753
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:36.800
Yeah, you bitch, God what moron?

754
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:39.880
Yeah, that's special.

755
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:42.239
It is so special. But again, you know what, I

756
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:43.960
on the flip side of that, while I get to

757
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:48.199
comment on it and rate it. I actually appreciate when

758
00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:51.679
my fellow man announces his stupidity to the world, because

759
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:57.199
at least now we know that whatever he says next,

760
00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:03.039
we don't have to pay much attention to it. For
