Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should | Thursday March 26, 2026

0:00 Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at YouTube dot com. Slash at Treehouse on air. It is time believe your worries outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Jerry called Well. Coming up inside the Treehouse today. Tim Scattaboo is a moron. Take the ticket to Nisha and we are going to start with every Man's Nightmare.

0:45 A Texas woman is facing charges after allegedly booking an entire escape room facility and luring her ex boyfriend into what she advertised as a surprise Valentine's experience. Police say he thought he was walking into a normal date night activity instead. The room theme was titled the Truth Will set You Free if you can find it, Oh boy, So she threw him into the middle of her own escape room titled Puzzles of Accountability on Valentine's Day. According to witnesses, I know, I know you're about to burst, aren't you.

1:42 This would be you know, my version of sauw. That's exactly what this is. Yeah, all that's missing is a tiny version of you tre riding around in circles on a little tricycle. You want to play a game. According to witnesses, the accountability puzzles included a locked box labeled Communication that could only be opened by entering the date he forgot their anniversary, a crossword puzzle where every clue was one of his excuses, a wall of red stream connecting printed screenshots labeled just a friend, a countdown timer titled time you said you needed authorities claim. She upgraded to the venue's full immersive drama package, which featured hidden speakers playing voice notes on loop oog machine during the confrontation chamber, and a final door that only unlocked when he correctly answered define accountability.

2:55 I hed, this gives me nightmares because because you're because beyond a date, you're you're dealing with her version of facts, which means you're screwed. Yeah. Yeah, it's like. Because it's the way things she remembers things. So your crossword puzzle isn't what you said, it's what she heard. And the crossword puzzle in front of you isn't about the words you find, it's about the words she thinks are in there. Just a friend, and.

3:37 This is everything my last relationship. She was the queen of this, of the master of deflection. Anytime we're dealing with something in the present, she is going to bring up something from a year ago relationship. What about is. You know? That's yeah, stuff you don't not only is it in fact what you're like, I don't even remember having this discussion, which a lot of times I was convinced we hadn't. She just yeah, taking a fire that I would be like, okay, yeah. Mmmm yeah. That's that's where that's where they can use our poor memories against us. So they could just create something and it doesn't have to be real and it doesn't have to be so convincing that we end up believing it. It just needs to plant the kernel of doubt in our mind.

4:30 It's not even our poor memories, it's also the fact she could have dreamt it and then just believed it was real. Those are even more dangerous. So yeah. A Texas woman has been arrested after renting an escape room. A Texas woman has been arrested after renting an escape room and making her ex solve puzzles of accountability on Valentine's Day? So what was the actual thing she was arrested for? Was a false imprisonment? Well, the truth Jerry like one of her puzzles will set you free? And this man. Because if this seems like an extreme scenario Texas woman arrested after renting an escape room and making her ex soft puzzles of accountability on Valentine's Day, this sounds like it would have been more believable had the roles been reversed, because it sounded odd to me having her challenge him on puzzles of accountability? Trey, what's your favorite line from as good as it gets?

5:45 I took a woman, and. How do you write women? So well? I take a man and I strip away account God, I just forgot the line reason and account of accountability. Yeah. Yeah, So I smelled a stinky on this story. I saw it in a few different places and I was like, you know, this seems this seems pretty extreme. Let me check on this. This story does not seem to be real. This is only a social media news article that has made the rounds and it keeps boomeranging around the social media platforms. There is no credible source to this story. So what you're saying is women just aren't smart enough or to have enough initiative to do this.

6:30 Oh, I didn't say that no sounds like what you said. No god, oh my god, no, the trade shut up? All right, I will end up in an escape room, but which there is no escape. Because you said this would only be believable if situations were reversed. No man is going to remember all this stuff and go to this much trouble to prove a point. So so what you're saying is, you know, women just wouldn't. They just couldn't do something like this. Don't turn this around me. I stepped this up to put you on a corner. Baby. How's that working so far? But not good? You're right all the details stuff. Yeah, but when I saw this headline and I saw Texas person escape room puzzles of accountability, I actually checked on it really quickly to make sure you hadn't been arrested Tree.

7:29 I wouldn't or not that you had been arrested. That, but that you you weren't the one that. Yeah, that you weren't the one that did this or were falsely prison yet. Yeah, I this. I've had some exces that are crazy enough to do this. I would like to think I would be smart enough not to get lured in. It's one thing, if it's your current and like this is her way of making a point. But if my ex invited me to an escape room, mm hmm. All the way off. Yeah, that's a big red flag, you know, you know the big flags one on the edge of Dallas and Irving.

8:12 Bigger than those, oh yeah, all red way bigger. Oh yeah, Clay Cooley would have to get some bigger flags too. Yeah. No. So while this story appears to be false, there is something we need to consider, and that is this is a really good idea and this might inspire someone. Again. You know. I if you are a guy and your ex invites you to an escape room and you go, you have it, you have it coming to you.

8:55 You do not go. I just hope they have some kind of live stream and we can all well. I mean, you know, this is like the Truman Show, like just just and met with some kind of horror movie. Because the only thing it could make it better is like if the room is slowly filling up with water. Oh yeah, yeah, even better. But think it was that way if you wanted to resign yourself, you could just stand there for a little while and it would all be better, or just avail deeply. I was gonna say, or just just go face first into the. Sweet release of death. I believe it's the phrase. He drowned in two inches of water. Yeah, he gave up quick.

9:38 All he was doing was speeding up the inevita. But it is it really is. This is like, this is like a a romantic version of romantic. This is this is a relationship version of saws. Allegedly, Texas woman arrested for renting an escape room and making her ex soft puzzles of accountability on Valentine Today. If you happen to find yourself in that room surrounded by all these puzzles of accountability, I would also be looking for the saw in the middle of the floor so it can go ahead and start trying to saw my foot off. I mean. A woman, you know, creating puzzles of accountability. I mean, did they call the escape room house of irony?

Back inside the Treehouse, I'm Dan along with Tray and Jerry.

12:46 Tanisha Thompson is accusing a Hurst police officer of using excessive force when giving her a citation for speeding in a school zone. She actually released cell phone video that she had recorded from the inside of her vehicle when she was dragged out of her vehicle by the Hearst police officer for her refusal to take a ticket. Well, since that went viral, Hearst PD said, hey, we have cameras too, driving. Through a school zone going forty that's a twenty five through there. Do you have your driver's license group of insurance with you today? Hey?

13:26 And so here you have the body cam of the officer approaching Tanisha and conducting his investigation up the traffic stop. What does it tray? You look like you got a question? So this is the same story like it actually came out like she released the video like a month ago. Yep, okay, and okay, all right, yeah, because I all right, it's just. If only they taste her. That's the only thing this is missing. Swear to god, it's the only thing that it's missing. She released a video about a month ago. It sort of went viral, and Hearst Police did its job, conducted its own internal investigation and said, yeah, we feel like the officer did just fine and in fact followed proper protocols and policies of the Hurst Police Department, and so much so that we decided to share with you his body can so you can see the full video, not just Tanishe's clip job.

14:32 I'll let the video play before I comment because fair. Okay. So here's the Hurst officer approaching Tanisha saying, hey, you you were speeding through a school zone there. First police department corporal chats with Tanisha Thompson. Were you all heading to this afternoon coming from? That's a question. First of all, she's fine, well within her rights to respond that way to the officer. What she doesn't realize is that the reason why the officer is asking her these questions is not because he's being polite or nosy. It's because he wants to see not only what she says, but how she says it. Because if you're going forty through a twenty five mile proper school zone, maybe you're on something, maybe you've been drinking. This is why they talk to you. They want to see if you are slurring, and they also want to see if they smell anything on your breath. But anyway, Tanisia holds for him, I'm sorry, it's not a good okay.

15:32 Thompson, who has her child in the front passenger seat, does not appear to be willing to chat with the corporal who's investigating her for allegedly speeding in a school zone. This all happened back on January sixteenth. The corporal continues to ask questions, any. Reason for the hurry this afternoon. I wasn't in a hurry. I didn't even see school. There's a flashing signal as you were driving through. The corporal heads to his police vehicle, returning minutes later with a traffic citation. Okay, Tanisha, you'll be receiving a citation today for the speed. I just need to get a signature from you. This is not an emission of guilt. It's a promise. You're not gonna sign it. That's fine, I'll just put refuse. The encounter further escalates as you see Thompson throw the ticket back at the officer.

16:17 All right, here's your copy of the citation. This is where it gets interesting, and this is where we'll describe it for you. If you're listening, this would be a good moment to promote our Patreon where you can watch this atreon dot com, slash Treehouse on air. As far as the bills, you know. So he's trying to hander the paper version of the ticket that she won't sign. But I'll like I like he said, all he has to do is just you know, check a little box. She refused to sign. You're still gonna get the ticket, that doesn't matter. So he tries to hand her the ticket and she won't accept it. Take it, boy, it's going to take it because it's your citation. That's your citation. So then he just kind she won't take it. She recoils and he just kind of drops the ticket inside the window. She then grabs it off of her lap and throws it out of her window, to which the officer responds that glittering slip out of the corn. Lady, come on, and oh.

17:14 I don't know whether to give her credit for being honest or stupid. But in her video it shows her doing throwing the ticket back out mm hmmm. Which it's gonna get you one way ticket to jail. Like if you've seen these videos, if you you know, you know, it's okay, you know, crappy attitude with the officer, everything else fine, whatever. But and the video I saw it was obviously edited for social media because it it shows what's about to happen first, then then it goes back and then it shows the rest of the story, one of which is what what preceded the hauling out of the car was she throws the ticket back on the ground.

18:02 Big no, no, don't do that. Here's a hot tip. Here's a pro tip for you. Don't commit a crime in front of the police officer who is conducting the investigation, slash issuing, issuing you a citation for another crime. Let's not dog pile on on ourselves. You know, hand off me, Keep your hand off me. I'm a supervisor. That part is also very important. I understand she doesn't want to get out, she wants a supervisor. But then he calmly responds, I am a supervisor. Well, there's also this big misconception that it started with.

18:47 The sovereign citizen crap. But there's this big misconception that if you ask for a supervisor. They have to send one. They don't. A lot of times they will just for the headache, to avoid the headache, but they don't. So keep that in mind, folks. Yeah mm hmm, just because you ask doesn't mean they're going to do it. Ma'am, chill hand, I'm not letting go. The corporal tries to place Thompson under arrest for nearly three minutes, finally doing so. Once back up arrive. Oh, look who's on the ground next to the ticket? Now roll over? Okay, this is the part of the video where I'm on her side.

19:53 That's a fair question. Every time I see these videos, the cops don't seem to understand it's really difficult for the suspect to get their arm or to roll over when you are fully on top of them. But I understand that's what they're supposed to say. I give her credit for saying, well, I can't because you're on top of me. I had simply tossed a ticket, and. Then he simply tossed you, Trey. Have you seen any of this press conference that she held along with her civil rights attorney Lee Merritt, I have not. All Right, well, let me let me share this with you then, because it just keeps getting better and better. Bear with me just a moment.

20:38 I mean one of the. As he said, the officer sat there for three minutes and did not probably could have really forced you out of the car, but waited for backup so they could do it. Because had you been in Boytant Beach, he would have just tasted your ass a lot. And this this very much has Boyton Beach vibes. Yeah, several times. Mm hmm. She does use the word so here she is here, she is I believe yesterday or a couple of days ago, outside of I think Hurst City Hall with her attorney Lee merrit As she makes a statement about the incident.

21:18 I had simply tossed the ticket. Thompson read a statement in front of reporters Tuesday evening before sharing her story with Hurst City Council. Her attorney Lee Merritt answered questions, do. You see this There's a severe disconnect here when she is saying I simply tossed a ticket. Yeah, that's littering. It Does it seem like in the normal course of a day you should be arrested for that. Absolutely, not issued a citation. Maybe, But considering you were speeding through a school zone and then being belligerent with the officer, all you did was give him a reason when you threw the ticket out the window. Gave him a reason to throw cuffs.

22:05 Like speeding a lot, like over twice the speed limit in a school zone. That's I'm surprised she didn't get pulled out of the car for that. Yeah, that's so. I'm this is actually really good. What Lee Merritt her attorney says, here, so listen, here. Would you recommend to clients moving forward that they should not crinkle up a traffic ticket and throw it out the window. I tell my clients, I tell the public in general, is not bess to litigate a case on the side of the road. If you're upset about a police encounter, hold your piece, hire an attorney, viola complaint with the police department. Later. Amen, Mister merritt Well said absolutely, Well said it's important.

22:47 It's important that you hear this because they are considering legal action against the department. They are considering a civil rights lawsuit against the department. Word here is considering. Later, I let the public notes, because this is the law, that you actually have every right to be rude to law enforcement, not best practice. Do you have every right to be rude? Nuts? And I love that there. You have every right to be rude, not best practice, but every right to do it. What he is doing is laying the foundation not for a lawsuit to be filed, but for the conversation he's going to have to have with Tanisha and saying you should have just taken the ticket, Tanisha, and you're gonna owe me some money because this case is not going to move forward. You will not you will not be getting paid on this, which means I'm not getting paid on this in the amount that you think you should be.

23:43 And honestly, if I am the attorney representing Hurst, if this, if they should pursue a trial, my opening statement is this press conference. Yes, you're what. I'm gonna go old school. I'm gonna like like we were in school. I'm gonna wheel in the TV on a stand with the VCR. I'm gonna pomp it in. I'm gonna go here. Ah uh, ladies and like and it's the opening statement, right, ladies and gentlemen of the jury. I present to you evidence exhibit a hit play. And then when it's over, uh, your honor, the prosecution rests. We're all done here. It took about five minutes.

24:30 If necessary, I'll put the TV on the witness stand. That way, you know, Jimmy the Bayliff feels like he's a part of it and gets to swear something in Oh wait, hang on, uh, this is a chief Billy Redle. Attorney Fola complained with the police department later. I let the public not just because this is the law that you actually have every right to be ruled to law enforcement, not best practice. Do you have every right to be ruled?

25:11 Merrett is debating filing a federal civil rights lawsuit. Hurst PD is standing by its officer. Corporal Morgan acted in full accordance with the law and with our department's policies, and the department stands firmly behind his actions. So tonight I spoke with criminologist Alex del Carmen, and he analyzed that body camera footage and based upon what he has seen, he believes the officer's actions were lawful. We will be posting his full quote over our website. That's foxforrenews dot com. So yeah, I believe herst is going to be just fine. But Tanisha, on the other hand, gonna learn a big, big lesson.

25:55 And then after all of that, that ticket has got to be stupid expensive. Well yeah, because not just for the ticket for the speeding, but the ticket for the littering and then the bills she's gonna get from mister Merritt because he ain't cheap. Mmmm. You think this was pro bono? Oh? I think I think a lot of times any time an attorney can get in front of camera, they'll they'll reduce their rates. Oh yeah, yeah, No, I think you may be right, but I also feel like that they'll reduce their rate, especially if they think there's gonna be something on the back end. And I don't think there's gonna be anything on the back end for mister Merritt here, So maybe maybe the payment is just going to be getting on TV saying hey, if you have a real problem, I'll represent you, not Tanisi here.

26:44 She should have just taken you know what, I would hire him because common sense absolutely, I mean everything what he said is absolutely Yes, you have every right to be rude of the officer. I wouldn't advise it. I also wouldn't advise litigating the case at the scene of the crime. And don't mess with Texas. Amen. Yeah, you're in the treehouse. Visit us online.

I did want to share with you Tanisha's full statement fool, because it's important that you hear this. I want us to be balanced here on this show. So while I feel confident that we all agree that Tanisha should just take the f and ticket, I want to be I want to be fair to her. In in her press conference with her very shrewd attorney, she says, I am speaking today after a Violet arrest that I never could have imagined I could have. I've seen this a lot.

28:47 I've seen I've seen I've seen rest videos like this countless times. I know exactly what was going to happen. Honestly, the only thing I'm surprised about is that you didn't get lit up by a taser. She also says during the arrest she sustained a black eye, a busted lip, eating stitches, and severe bruises all over my body. That's what happens when you get tossed to the ground. I get that unfortunate, yes, but it's a byproduct of your own actions. She says. Since that day, I have lived in constant fear every time I see a police officer. I have faced cruel backlash for simply seeking accountability. That means she got hate in the comments. The incident happened in January, but did not come to light until the video was posted this month and went viral. According to Hirst PD, it happened January sixteenth, twenty twenty six, when Hurst arrived at the traffic stop involving Tanisha Thompson. The footage captured on her phone showed the moments having the encounter escalated after she refused to accept the ticket. One day after WFAA reported the story, the Hurst Police Department released their body camera footage that we just went through and said that we stand firmly behind our officer and his actions.

30:03 Bravo Hurst for doing so, But I how old is. Tanisha did it say I don't think this story mentions yeah, yeah, she's got a fifteen year old son, so I'll assume thirties, maybe forties. I'm gonna guess she has social media, so to say say, you don't you can't imagine anything like this. There are thousands of videos of this scenario, and quite frankly, the officer showed a good deal of restraint in waiting for like he could have chosen to get her out himself, and that would have probably been much worse and or involved voltage.

30:58 I should have been better off just going you know what, I had a bad day. I screwed up, and you know what the officer would have been like, Okay, m. Yeah, but you want to put your toes right there on the precipice and then hurl yourself over the edge. Wonder where your bruising battered at the bottom of the cliff. Just look at his waist. There are multiple reasons why you're not gonna win this. Battle, And like a video game, each level gets harder and harder across that mid section.

31:44 And the power up isn't gonna be what you think. It really is not. I mean, you might see some mushrooms. You might see some freaky turtles. Yeah. Anyway, that's. As I was watching that video, because the first time I saw it, I'm just saying, over and over, take the ticket, Tanisha, Tanisha, Tanisha, Tanisha, take the ticket, Tannisia. Nope, she didn't take it well. And listen, there's a lot of things where there might be some gray area, but especially you're in a school zone, there's the one thing that you're you're not gonna.

32:25 Get any leeway on. That's yeah, like the biggest note. And you've got a kid. You shouldn't know that. And I think that's one of the biggest areas of uh non sympathy for her is the fact that this all started because she was speeding through a school zone and then she got indignant about it about getting the citation and the whole scenario. It's just listen, he's not he's not making it up. Her attorney really, I mean, it was the most sound advice. Don't don't try to let it the matter on the side of the road. I mean, yeah, yeah, you can be rude to the officer.

33:07 Wouldn't advise it, because then when you drop that ticket they drop you. Yeah, and I her video showed it even better. It wasn't a oops I dropped the ticket. It was I threw it out the window. Oh yeah, yeah, No, there was some serious attitude. It's like I don't want that. It's like, okay, here we go. Time for the fun, right and and you, honestly, that's not it. This isn't a deal where you say I'm black, black, white, red polka dot. You pull that crap with. An officer, especially we're talking about speeding in a school zone, You're gonna get cuff slapped on you.

33:51 You are. And I will say this though, I think it's important to mention that this is why I'm not a police officer, because he showed something called restraint before putting on restraints. As soon as as soon as that piece of paper goes crumple crumple, fund I am. I am. I'm like, my eyes are gonna widen as I reach for the taser. I'm like, we I'm gonna make a Christmas tree in the middle of January. I didn't take my lights down. And here's why. Well, the good news for Tanisha here is that she's not the only moron on the planet. And she's also not the only moron who's making an appearance today inside the treehouse. Uh Trey, Jerry, I'd like to offer this piece of evidence on New York Giants running back Cam Skuttaboo showing us all how stupid he is on a podcast, which is a perfect spot to do it. I think CT is a real thing. No, that's an excuse. Do you think CTE is a real thing? No?

35:08 I think CT is a real thing. No, that's an excuse. I think wow. Uh me thinks Cam may already have some ct E if he's stupid enough to think that. Mmm, wow, I know right, But he's not done. This is this is here a professional football player saying CT isn't real, it's an excuse. And that's not the dumbest thing he says in this clip. ASTHMA is an excuse too. Yeah? Is that a hot take? No, that's a good take.

35:49 Is there anything ASTHMA is fake? Wait? Can you can you start this over? The clip? Over? I I I need to soak it all in. Okay, here we go. I will hit play and leave it uninterrupted for New York Giants running back Cam Skiddabo is here to tell us how stupid he is. I think CT is a real thing. No, that's an excuse. I think asthma is an excuse too. Yeah. Is that a hot take? No, that's a good tides. Is there anything worse than when you're in fourth grade and someone's huffing and puffing you're just soft? Yeah? Just literally be better there, touchdown. Never underestimate a man's willingness to show you how stupid he is. And this is the cam Skettaboo addition. Yep, yep, wow.

36:46 I have just. You know, it has been said that, especially in for the New York Giants, is whom he along with his quarterback Jackson Dart that happened. They happened to both be white and. Quite exciting to watch, and fans really have gotten behind them. But good god, man, like you're you're you're not that popular, You're not that good. You haven't won a super Bowl, you you know, Aaron Rodgers went off the deep end after he won a Super Bowl and was generally regarded as one of the best quarterbacks ever.

37:32 You, sir, are not. You had a flash of a breakout year, then you got hurt. Yeah, and not only I mean, I can't even have I can't even fathom what the NFLPA, who has fought for, you know, players to get compensation and taken care of. Going back, you. Know, to the eighties, My godfather played for the Chiefs. The most he ever played, I mean, the most he ever made in a year, and he was good at one point, voided one of the top ten toughest players playing in the NFL. Played with broken bones everything else.

38:13 The most he ever made in a season is year he won the Super Bowl, went to the Pro Bowl, and I think he made sixty or sixty five thousand, And it wasn't until the strike in the eighties and then like he made more money when they finally started taking care of players than he ever did playing and he was crippled. And so you're just crapping all over all the work that they have done for years on CTE, I mean, and it's just common since when you're getting your head busted around NonStop for years, your brain's.

38:54 Probably gonna have a little damage, especially when you think about and we'll get back to the silliness side of this and making fun of Cam for being an abject moron, but. From a human side of it, there have been numerous former players, not just NFL college all of it, but there have been numerous former football players that have killed themselves as a result of CTE. One of the ones that has stayed with me the longest and has been the most poignant was Junior Sayou's death. Junior saw as a Cowboys fan, was one of my favorite non Cowboys players when he was playing. I loved watching him play for the Chargers, absolutely loved watching him play. And he didn't just kill himself because of CTE, but he put a lot of thought into how he did it. He was so convinced that he had this new rumored int alopathy thing that when he took his own life with a gun a shotgun, I believe he didn't do it the way most did. He took it in the chest so he could preserve his brain to be examined posthumously, because he knew in order to confirm it that's the only way to confirm it was with by inspecting the brain, and there's no way to do it while you're alive.

40:25 So he killed. Himself by taking a shotgun blast to the chest and they confirmed it, Yes, he had CTE. The suicide was a direct cause of it. And then you got this idiot running back who hasn't even done the normal NFL thing of be great, then you can get away with some stupid stuff. He's just starting out stupid. You are pissing and laughing on the graves of players that came before. You say that to set, Say that to Junior Seal's family, along with a number of other former football players that have dealt with this and their families. Not on a podcast with your bro who's dressed up like a Master's winner.

41:10 And not only in Junior Seyow. Left instructions, basically left details of why he did it this way and instructed them to get his brain too. I forgot that where where he wanted it sent. But it was the one doing the majority of the research on CTE. Yeah, and when you find my body do this. Yeah. And he's not the only person who's done that. Yeah. And I mean. You look at I mean I have seen some former players lately where you go, oh, that's I mean Tony Dorsett has said like sometimes he can't remember how to. Get home mm hm. And you know you're talking about the the encephalitis and off of the ct well, yeah, but like I have a friend that had got encephalitis, and I've watched her struggle with it, and uh, you know it's she works her ass off, but you know that's still.

42:09 It's just tragic. I mean that the asthma thing, that's. Just stupid breath. And the guy's going, you know, your fourth grade you're huffing. That is something a fourth grader would say, Oh, you're just trying to get out out of you know, sprints or whatever. Right, Yeah, and. What a jack off? Well said thanks, And yeah the host too. You didn't win the masters? Uh if your cause playing a Master's champion for your podcast, that's that's kind of that's kind of sad. I forget is he in a gold jacket or a green jacket?

42:50 It's green? Okay? Yeah, and just been the height of irony. Uh but you know what, and here's going kind of back to the silliness aspect of this. I've enjoyed watching the cams getaboo play talking about a guy who did all things miraculous when he was at Arizona State, the bastion of Scientific Research University Arizona State, in which he got his degree in twenty twenty four in Liberal Studies so basically just a bunch of stuff, just took a bunch of classes, took a bunch of classes that would amount to enough hours to attain a degree. I think it would have done him well. It would have served him better had he actually gone to class some just one class, just intro to science.

43:53 It would serve him well to run the stuff by an agent, an advisor something. I'm sure. I'm sure the Giants front office is thrilled. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean that that's just it. What point are you trying to make? Exactly? That was my thought. What's the endgame of of saying this? That theme is that he's going to share his The end game is he is sharing his immense knowledge with the rest of us, and we all need to be grateful for it, because clearly he's right.

44:38 I mean, well, yeah, this isn't if this was twenty five years ago. I'll say, when this when we were first starting to discuss CTE and long term damage. I'm sure there were some people who said this, Yeah, but we're now talking about again billions of dollar later of research of hard evidence, and you're pulling this. I mean, I guess maybe he thinks he's gonna appeal to his tough guy working man. They just gotta do it. You just got to persevere. There is nothing between you and your goal except you.

45:23 Well, look, it's America, and America is a wonderful place where America will allow you to say any stupid thing you want. Yay free speech. And in the spirit of that, on the heels of Camp Skattaboo, saying CT is fake and asthma is an excuse. I would like to share my own medical knowledge with you. My extensive research has led me to believe that an open right angle, that an open right ankle, this location, a fractured fibula, and ruptured deltoid ligament are fake. I don't think they're real.

46:05 I think it's an excuse. I think it makes you softer than the snuggle Bear. I think it makes you softer than an entire roll of charm and you big giant pussy. Cool science, that's science for you. What's that, I said, Tape an aspirin to it and get back in there. Yeah, you bitch, God what moron? Yeah, that's special. It is so special. But again, you know what, I on the flip side of that, while I get to comment on it and rate it. I actually appreciate when my fellow man announces his stupidity to the world, because at least now we know that whatever he says next, we don't have to pay much attention to it.
