00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.440
It is time believe your warriors outside and laugh with
2
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.719
us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley along with Trey
3
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:32.719
Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Monday, May twenty six,
4
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.200
twenty twenty five, also known this year as Memorial Day.
5
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.719
We'll talk about Memorial Day coming up just a little
6
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.600
bit later. We'll also talk about another reason why today's
7
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:52.119
date is very important inside the Treehouse, and also we
8
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.479
will discuss about whether or not you would save someone
9
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.320
in a very dire situation. Talk more specifically about that
10
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.159
later on, but first today inside the Treehouse. We will
11
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:13.159
start today with this. When you guys were kids, did
12
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.280
your mom or dad ever ask you the classic question
13
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.280
of so if your friends jumped off a bridge, would
14
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:20.319
you do it too?
15
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:20.920
Yep?
16
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:29.840
Well a guy on meth said yes, yes. Say what
17
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.480
you want about alcohol and how it gives you liquid courage.
18
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.000
Meth I think gives you quite a bit of courage
19
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.799
as well. A twenty nine year old man from Vancouver,
20
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.719
British Columbia had to be rescued after he jumped off
21
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.040
a bridge on a dare and he got stranded on
22
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.200
the side of a river. He wasn't trying to offer himself.
23
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.840
He just told police. He told police he was just
24
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.519
on meth and someone dared him to jump. Someone called
25
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.879
it in. A fireboat made contact, gave him a life
26
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.680
jacket and the coastguard had to scramble and pick him up,
27
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.840
and paramedics took him to a hospital. Police talk. Police
28
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.159
spoke with him, thinking he might have been trying to
29
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.080
kill himself, but no, he told him he jumped off
30
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.479
the bridge because someone dared him too. They also believed
31
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.120
that the fact he was on meth might have been
32
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.879
a factor. They treated him for minor injuries. It's not
33
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.280
clear what kind of charges he might be facing because
34
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.080
it's Canada, and they're probably wondering, well, should we should
35
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.360
we not? Should we apologize?
36
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.879
But at least he landed in water, right, Like, Hey,
37
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.759
that's a good thing because if he were to jump
38
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.960
off a bridge here in most places in the United States,
39
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:52.879
this would be a very different story.
40
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.919
Yeah, because we we win at Darwinism.
41
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.199
Clearly, Canada loses.
42
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.159
America always goes for gold.
43
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.400
Hey, they are only three percent populated. They're trying to
44
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:07.639
keep as many people around.
45
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.879
They need all they can get. Yeah, as Americans, we
46
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.360
know we're expendable, so we'll jump off the bridge. We'll
47
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.280
say hold our beer.
48
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.479
Yeah.
49
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.240
I do think though, that we might be onto something here.
50
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.800
I like to look at the positive side of things
51
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.080
on occasion. So if you get a guy that's high
52
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.639
on meth that jumps off a bridge because he was
53
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.199
dared to by somebody, I think there's an opportunity here.
54
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.599
I think there's an opportunity here for a new game show.
55
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.639
Perhaps Double Dare can make a comeback Double Dare Meth
56
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:53.840
Edition mm hm, or better yet, a new game show
57
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.479
titled What's that myth Do? And really all you do
58
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.319
is you get people that are high on met and
59
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.120
just get them to do stuff and see what they do.
60
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.039
I think that would be a nice twist for fear factor.
61
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.599
Yeah really, it would just be like Jackass, but on meth.
62
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.919
Then again, a lot of the guys on Jackass probably
63
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.039
were on meths, So just Jackass three point.
64
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.639
Zero or you know, I think you could revent press
65
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:19.120
your luck.
66
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.959
Oh instead of instead of a whammy, you get a methy.
67
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.240
Is it still pressure luck or is it pressure meth?
68
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.199
You know, shoot your luck? I don't know.
69
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:35.959
Yah.
70
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.319
I like this. I like if we took if we
71
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.000
took a pressure luck and combined it with the Hunger
72
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:48.480
Games on meth. Oh, i'd watch I'm in I would
73
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.759
definitely watch that. But they didn't interview the friend, which
74
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.920
I think is very weird because was there really a
75
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.199
friend there he was, Oh.
76
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.680
That's a great question. For all we know was imagined
77
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.839
and it might have just been his imaginary meth friend.
78
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:05.560
Yeah, that's his Tyler Durden.
79
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.680
When I was a kid, I had Little Timmy John.
80
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.879
That was my imaginary friend. I wasn't on meth that
81
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.600
I'm aware of. I did live in rural Oklahoma at
82
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.519
the time, but yeah, I didn't have a Tyler Durden
83
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.720
as an adult. I just had Little Timmy John. And
84
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.639
Little Timmy John never tried to get me to jump
85
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:24.319
off a bridge.
86
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.240
Yes, because when Timmy John was alive, bridges weren't built
87
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:33.879
back then. That was science fiction.
88
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:44.079
Oh so, anyway, new game show right here inside the treehouse. Uh,
89
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:45.839
just to see what you can get someone high on
90
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.199
meth to do. And it doesn't even have to be
91
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.480
for money because they're on math. What does it matter.
92
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.079
Yeah, you can just dare. You can just dare them
93
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:55.839
and walk away. Exactly.
94
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.079
It's just just see what they do.
95
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.319
Just throw a twinkie down and let it see what happens.
96
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.279
Then it will be like the Hunger Games.
97
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.720
There's a knife, a switch blade, and a twinkie and
98
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:18.079
that's what.
99
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.319
Then that's when Wesley Snipes pops up. It's like always
100
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:23.959
bet on men.
101
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.680
Yeah, but then John Wick shows up and kills a
102
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:34.639
man with a twinkie.
103
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.839

is the Treehouse Show. I'm Daniel Mally. That straight Trenholm.
129
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.920
Right there is Raj Sharma. On Memorial Day, May twenty six,
130
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.759
twenty twenty five, I have a troubling study for you
131
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.519
about Memorial Day. What percentage of people do you think
132
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.480
truly know what Memorial Day is about?
133
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:38.080
Interesting? I didn't know what it was about until many
134
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:43.720
years ago, but I'm gonna go with fifteen percent.
135
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:52.159
Fifteen okay, tray six, all right. I'm actually glad to
136
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.039
report that the numbers higher than the ones you guys
137
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.000
just guessed. It's still on the low side of where
138
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.720
I would like to see you, though, fifty of Americans
139
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:10.000
think Memorial Day has lost its original meaning. Okay, According
140
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.360
to a new pole half of Americans think Memorial Day
141
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.799
has lost its original meaning. Fifty two percent think it's true,
142
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.559
and they might be right. Forty percent say remembering America's
143
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:23.440
fallen troops is not the first thing they associate with
144
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:27.639
Memorial Day anymore. Sixty percent say it still is so
145
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:32.240
in reality, sixty percent of people in this study still
146
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.799
know what Memorial Day is supposed to be about and
147
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:42.000
what it is about. Not surprisingly, age plays a major
148
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:46.759
factor in this. Only forty eight percent of gen Z's
149
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:54.639
say Memorial Day is still about fallen soldiers. Seventy six
150
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:59.039
percent of baby boomers, however, realize what it's meant for.
151
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.360
So what is it that people are confusing Memorial Day with?
152
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.759
It's just a three day weekend. To a lot of people,
153
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.320
Memorial Day is barbecues and drownings. But it's actually more
154
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.720
than that. It's supposed to commemorate and honor the one
155
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:23.399
point two million people that served and sacrificed in the
156
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.200
over two hundred and fifty years of military service in
157
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:28.000
the United States.
158
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.159
Yeah, see like when I was like, that's why I said,
159
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:32.879
I didn't figure out what it was. Like, I didn't
160
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.360
realize what it was for until many years ago, because
161
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.200
you know, growing up as a kid, there were block
162
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.279
parties and cookouts and I'm like, oh, this must be
163
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.440
a very joyous occasion and that's what you equate it to.
164
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.679
And especially with my parents being from India, like it
165
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.120
was like, Okay, let's just go out and join the party.
166
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.519
And you hear party enough times you're like, oh, this
167
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.600
has got to be And then years later, you know,
168
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.840
when I was talking to a buddy of mine's dad
169
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.399
who was in Vietnam, he really didn't ever participate in
170
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.120
like the block parties and stuff, and I kind of
171
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.200
asked he was a sniper, and I was asking him, like,
172
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.799
you know, what's the you know, you make the best
173
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.679
burger on the blog, Like why aren't you out there?
174
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.679
And he's like, that's not really what it's abount. He's like,
175
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.440
I'll go out there later, but you know, he's gonna
176
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.759
remember his buddies. And he then explained to me what
177
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.240
it was and I was like, oh, okay, I think
178
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.320
we're getting a little like off track because everybody out
179
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:27.240
there is just hammered eating hot dogs. That's that's all
180
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.840
they were doing. Yeah, lots of music.
181
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.759
I would have honestly bet that, especially gen Z, if
182
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.919
you gave them a choice of what is Memorial Day,
183
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.759
you know, you know, to honor the people that have
184
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.960
lost their lives fighting for our country or the weekend
185
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.120
the Lake opens, I would have Yeah, I guess the
186
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.519
Lake opens would have been a more popular answer.
187
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.480
Absolutely, And that's that really is. It's become sort of
188
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.799
the unofficial start of summer is Memorial Weekend, and then
189
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:04.720
the unofficial is the Labor Day weekend in September. So
190
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.440
and it's not their fault. I only know what they
191
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.039
get brought up with. So it's a lot of what
192
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.279
we have a tendency to do, which is take our
193
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:19.679
holidays and morph them into other things for a lot
194
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.159
of people. I've made this joke for years, and it's
195
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.080
a sad one. I think a number of people think
196
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.519
the memoriam part of Memorial Day is remembering all the
197
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:36.279
people that died over the three day weekend in lakes
198
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.759
as opposed to the actual military service members for the
199
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:45.240
United States. Sad, but I think that's accurate. For a
200
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.320
number of people, but I am glad that the number
201
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:53.200
is higher than all suspected it would be. So there
202
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.279
is that little bit of you know, silver lighting there,
203
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.399
but we certainly know what we reckonognize it. And one
204
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.919
of the things I've always thought is interesting about Memorial
205
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:07.759
Day is you can you can do both. You honor
206
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:13.480
and remember and appreciate all those sacrifices that make it
207
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.919
possible for us to have a barbecue, drink a beer
208
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.519
and enjoy being with people around us.
209
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.639
Yeah, and do that.
210
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.080
Many people think if those I think if those service
211
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.240
members were here, that's what they'd want to do. They'd
212
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.600
be like, man, I want to go. I want a burger.
213
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:36.440
Yeah, but also going back to do that. Many people
214
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.480
drown over this. I mean I haven't seen the numbers,
215
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:43.120
but is it a really high number of people drowning.
216
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:57.039
I believe it's an annual event at Lake Louisville.
217
00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:59.279
You guys going to the drowning this year?
218
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:06.200

229
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:04.120
is Monday, MA twenty twenty five. A day that has
230
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.679
lived in infamy for thirteen years because it was thirteen
231
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:14.080
years ago today that my wife became my wife. Thirteen
232
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.919
years ago Tara and I got married.
233
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:23.679
Ya, congratulations, thirteen years ago.
234
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:32.720
Relationships were forged, relationships were broken, memories were made, and
235
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:37.919
memories were broken underneath a white tent in Johnson County,
236
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.720
thirteen years ago on Tara's parents property. My god, what
237
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.080
a day. That was fine and I appreciate the fact
238
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.159
that you were there.
239
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.240
Yeah, Tray just leaves.
240
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.679
I don't know where where Trey went going to get
241
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.440
my anniversary gift or like he didn't even say he
242
00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.879
was going here. He just walked out, Like where do
243
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:05.879
you go? Yeah, Trey, are you by my anniversary?
