18
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.280
Year's Eve date in which, and I'm not embellishing any

19
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.799
part of this, the man went to work so other

20
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.359
employees could have a night off and enjoy their New

21
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.400
Year's Eve. Yeah, but that's not all, because Trey also

22
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.719
when he left work, he grabbed a breakfast cast role

23
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.520
that he'd been working on, and then went over to

24
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:26.120
a special lady's house and then then he gave her

25
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.719
some good, good New Year's Eve lovin and then fed

26
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:37.599
her at that cast role afterwards. And I don't know

27
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.479
about her, but I'm pretty shook about it. I know

28
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.080
that if you showed up at my house with a

29
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.360
breakfast cast role at one thirty in the morning, I

30
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.360
ain't kicking you out of bed New Year's Eve, anything

31
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:51.840
can happen.

32
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.199

35
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.080
Yeah yeah, it's.

36
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.759
Every aspect of the story is covered inside the Treehouse

37
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.159
plus episode. So yeah, for New Year's Eve, our very

38
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.479
own Tray brought his New Year's Eve date a breakfast

39
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.919
cast role. And my god, man, hats off to you.

40
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.280
I salute a fist bump. I don't want to pound,

41
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.400
because what unless you bring a cast role. But I

42
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.080
am I am again just thoroughly impressed, and thank you

43
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.000
for sharing that with us.

44
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:31.800
So was she.

45
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.879
I'm curious when when you showed up with that breakfast

46
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:49.840
cast role, what dropped first? Her pants or the oven door? Uh?

47
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.840
The oven door, but then after she had tried it,

48
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.360
it would have been her pants.

49
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.960
There you go nice.

50
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.879
Or perhaps it's as the breakfast cast a roll crossed

51
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.360
the threshold of her front door, it just melted everything

52
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:05.759
on her.

53
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.479
She was she was actually quite impressed how good it was.

54
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.039
So the castle for you, Oh.

55
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.519
Boy, it's a good setup. We're a good team, and

56
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.920
I will help you out, not that apparently you need it.

57
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.040
I'm just saying, like, do you walk in with the

58
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.920
cast role? Are you? Are you clothed?

59
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:30.439
Oh?

60
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.879
Yeah? It was cold? Okay, gotcha? Because I mean I

61
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.199
don't know. Well, I mean in my head, I'm like,

62
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.800
you walk in but naked with a cast role.

63
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.759
And it doesn't matter if it's cold, because you're holding

64
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.639
a hot cast role. And so you know, Saturday Night

65
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.040
Saturday Night Live can say I got you this in

66
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.279
a box, but you Trey can say I got you

67
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:52.480
this in a castle role.

68
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:56.079
Yeah, I don't think you want to put that in

69
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:57.920
the cast role. But I'm saying I'm like.

70
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.680
That's really about the only thing this or he's lacking.

71
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.360
And we don't know that there wasn't any food play involved.

72
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:05.879
We haven't asked.

73
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.319
Absolutely, Okay you didn't. You didn't eat.

74
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.399
Castle off each other. I don't know how white people

75
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.560
do it, Like, shut up, that's not a white people

76
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.720
think that is a white eating castrole off of somebody.

77
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.639
And the eating eating eating something off of somebody. That's

78
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.800
not a white person exclusive thing. That's just horny and hungry.

79
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.879
No, eating a casserole is a white thing like me,

80
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.720
like syrup, chocolate sauce. Okay, that's kind of universal. But

81
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.319
if you're like, hey, here's a breakfast.

82
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.319
A seven layer breakfast.

83
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:44.279
Castrole, Yeah, that's a that's a white person think uh sexy.

84
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.480
And you know it's bad. From the makers of the

85
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:48.480
Kama Sutra.

86
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.240
No point in that book is there a casserole recipe?

87
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.920
Well, it sounds to me like there needs to be

88
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:07.519
a new chapter added the commistuturea according to tree Accord.

89
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.079

So congratulations Trey. Uh. I'm sorry, Raj. I cannot in

129
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:57.799
any way top pun intended your Breakfast cast role New

130
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.039
Year's Eve date story, so I'm not even gonna try,

131
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.240
but I do just want to let you guys know

132
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.200
I am attempting something that I have heard about for

133
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:12.320
a long time but have never actually attempted. I am

134
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:18.080
trying dry January, or as I've seen a couple of

135
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:25.440
news articles state, I am apparently sober curious, which sounds

136
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.279
weird to say anything about me curious, but I get

137
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.320
that's what some of the news articles say. For many

138
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.360
the New Year means new goals, which may look like

139
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.480
getting back to the gym, cooking more meals at home,

140
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.200
hit tree, or cutting back on sugar, but for many

141
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.799
it's a time to reduce their alcohol intake. For folks

142
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.600
looking to get on the right track, you may be

143
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:50.600
interested in Dry January, a thirty one day challenge thirty

144
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.480
for me, in which participants abstain from drinking alcohol, whether

145
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.639
it be cocktails, wine, and or beer. So here, I

146
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:07.159
am a few days, so far, so good, Okay, all right,

147
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:12.879
So Trey, this this is your area of expertise. You're

148
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.720
you're you're the soberest person in this treehouse and have

149
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.720
been for damn near a decade. You are going on

150
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:25.639
nine years sober now, and I'm I'm just I'm just

151
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:27.240
going to try it for January. I have I have

152
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.600
friends that do it. Yeah, Gray, Trey, You've taken it

153
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.080
to a whole new level. Uh So, I'm just curious

154
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:34.840
about it. I'm using it kind of, like I said

155
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.960
there in the setup, as just sort of a reset,

156
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.000
just going to start the year fresh, get back into

157
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:46.120
a regular routine at the gym, eating right, and to

158
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.519
jump start everything. I'm going to try not drinking for

159
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.200
the entire month of January.

160
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.639
You know, I and and honestly, I think you'll find

161
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:58.240
that you'll like it. Most people figure out, you know,

162
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.480
if they because thirty days is.

163
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.919
In sobriety. Yeah, thirty days.

164
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.600
The first thirty days is always the hardest, you know,

165
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.480
and if you're not shaking or anything else, and you're

166
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.639
fine to begin with, but you'll figure out how alcohol

167
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.600
does affect you in the slightest ways.

168
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.639
So I know, for me, a big part of it

169
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:25.039
is social, so especially in the late afternoon because we

170
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.159
used to do afternoon radio for years, so we never

171
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.159
did happy or anything like that. We would just go

172
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.159
for dinner and then stay out late. But now we're

173
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.120
on a different schedule, so come afternoon time, it's kind

174
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.519
of a slow time and a way to take up

175
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.399
some of that time is to go have a drink

176
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.559
somewhere and that can be an hour or so. You

177
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.360
have a couple of drinks, maybe order some dinner, taken home,

178
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.519
eat dinner, and there you go. That's almost That was

179
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.799
almost a typical day, you know, for me and my wife.

180
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.759
So we're trying some little different try to be a

181
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.159
little healthier, and a big chunk of that is obviously,

182
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:02.679
you know, cutting out the booze for a while.

183
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.799
Now, I'll say this, this is my personal opinion.

184
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:07.840
Uh huh.

185
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:14.279
If you're trying dry January, don't substitute it with you know,

186
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.480
like THCHC or some of the other things. Like if

187
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.120
you're going for sobriety at the end of the day,

188
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.200
sobriety is like pregnancy either our yarn.

189
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.799
Ohs deep, which you have to be to get pregnant.

190
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.000
Also, you know, if you can't go, if you're having

191
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:35.159
trouble going thirty one days without some kind of altered

192
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.759
state toxic Yeah, yeah, then you might want to reevaluate things.

193
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:45.240
Yeah. Luckily for me, I've experimented with marijuana recently, more

194
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.879
so than I have throughout my life. Over the summer,

195
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:51.159
tried it a few times in various forms, and I

196
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.080
found out and now that I know, I found out

197
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.559
that it just makes me motion sick because I'm motion

198
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.240
sickness sensitive, so I don't particularly enjoy it. So I'm

199
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.559
taking that advice to heart. Tray, I'm not going to

200
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.440
supplement any any other sort of intoxic or substance to

201
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:13.279
alter my mood or state of mind or anything. I'm

202
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.200
I'm trying. I'm trying for dry.

203
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.200
Yeah. I started in December.

204
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.960
Oh really yeah, you over achieving Asian.

205
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:27.639
I know that's what we do.

206
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:31.720
The white guys said, I'm gonna try it dry. January,

207
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.799
Raj pops in like a spelling bee champ. I've been

208
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:34.960
doing it since last year.

209
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.600
I mean I started September, but then you know, met

210
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.320
up with some friends and had cocktails one afternoon and

211
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.919
then didn't do anything till my birthday in Reno, and

212
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:51.399
then really didn't do anything after that, so kind of

213
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.519
paste it out. But uh yeah, December just kind of

214
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.480
knocked it out. I was like, you know, I'm gonna

215
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.000
stop the the booze. That's why I think Jerry said

216
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.399
I looked weird because I lost weight, and that's.

217
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:05.519
What our Jerry called.

218
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.679
Well, yes, uh.

219
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.960
And that's I mean, you know, when you're you don't

220
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.679
think about it, but a shot of whiskey is one

221
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:17.720
hundred and one calories. Now do that over the afternoon,

222
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:23.679
and uh, if you're me, you're about a thousand calories

223
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:27.200
in so so basically.

224
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.279
What I'm hearing is that you and I are going

225
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.159
to have six packs come summer.

226
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.720
And you're cutting down on the sugar that your body

227
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:36.759
taking you.

228
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.360
But I did. I did. I have to have a

229
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.120
little bowl of.

230
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:46.120
Ice cream the the other night because I was like,

231
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.279
I don't know what it is I need. And I

232
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.279
saw a vanilla ice cream on on the menu over

233
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.279
at Tower Club, and uh got myself a bowl and

234
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.399
I was like, Oh, this is delightable.

235
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.440
Better than any whiskey you can get.

236
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.879
So listen. I always tell this story because I never

237
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.519
had a sweet tooth, Like, yeah, I've really never cared

238
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:16.159
for desserts, candy, chocolate, whatever. First morning I have no alcohol,

239
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.720
so and I woke up and I would have gutted

240
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.279
somebody for a snicker doodle.

241
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.840
I saw it once too. I saw it after like after,

242
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:28.840
after like a couple of weeks, I met up with

243
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.080
Trey and he and I walked past the front of

244
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.320
a grocery store and it was girl Scout season. He

245
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.559
murdered all of them and stole their cookies. It was

246
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:37.399
a horrific sight.

247
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.639
The Thin massacre.

248
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:47.399
Of twenty sixteen. You've heard of it.

249
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:52.039
It was on my ID channel the other day, so.

250
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:53.720
I think it's on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries. They're

251
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.440
still looking for Trey.

252
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.399

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.399
with Trey and Raj, and I can say this, and

264
00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:59.080
this is true. For the very first time in the

265
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:04.599
history of this and all of its iterations, forms and phases,

266
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.160
all three regular cast members of this show are sober

267

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.000
So good all, No, it's good, yeah, good for us.

272
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:34.279
Twenty twenty five starting off right, There is something else

273
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.000
that I know will kick our twenty twenty five off

274
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:42.039
with a hell of a start, and that is it

275
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:46.519
is time for believe it or not. Inside the treehouse

276
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.720
the first of twenty twenty five, I will read a

277
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.240
statement and you, Trey and Raj, you have to tell

278
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:58.880
me whether you believe it or not. Are you ready?

279
00:17:59.400 --> 00:17:59.920
Yep?

280
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:10.960
Graham Crackers Graham Crackers were invented by Sylvester Graham, a

281
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.720
Puritanical nineteenth century minister, in an attempt to tamper the

282
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:20.240
carnal desire for sex. Graham Cracker. I'm gonna say it again.

283
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:25.559
Graham Crackers were invented by Sylvester Graham, a Puritanical nineteenth

284
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.279
century minister, in an attempt to tamper the carnal desire

285
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:35.279
for sex. Believe it or not, Raj, We'll start with

286
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.759
you one hundred percent. You agree you believe it?

287
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:39.160
Ye?

288
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.000
Trey? Do you believe it or not?

289
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.759
You know that sounds just bizarre enough that I'm gonna

290
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:47.920
go in and say, yeah, I'll believe it.

291
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.960
You both have started twenty twenty five correctly.

292
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:55.920
This is true.

293
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:02.839
The Graham Cracker was invented to make people less horny. Yes,

294
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:10.079
and I guess unsurprisingly, it didn't start out as delicious

295
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:13.400
as it is now, because I've never eaten a gram

296
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:15.599
cracker and gotten horny but I've also never eaten a

297
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:20.240
gram cracker and gotten unhorny. But when I did a

298
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.759
little more reading on this, the cinnamon and the sugar

299
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:28.160
and the sweetness were added later. So the statement that

300
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.720
I read is absolutely true. Gram Crackers were invented by

301
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:36.839
a puritanical nineteenth century minister named Sylvester Graham in his

302
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.960
attempt to tamper the carnal desire for sex. And this

303
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:46.400
is shocking people that the gram cracker started with a

304
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:55.000
sex fueled history. And now Sylvester Graham, this puritanical minister

305
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:59.880
who created the gram Cracker, he believed sex caused every

306
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:05.480
thing from headaches to insanity, and this included masturbation, so

307
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:12.960
any sort of sexual release, touch, whatever. He was completely

308
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.559
against it, so much so he created the Graham Cracker

309
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:16.440
to combat it.

310
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:20.039
Obviously he failed, which is weird because that's why they

311
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:22.240
used to give us a nap time in kindergarten.

312
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:30.720
Times changed, Reverend. Yeah, just imagine, just imagine you're Scott

313
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.839
Bacula in an episode of Quantum Leap, and you go

314
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:36.079
back to this guy and tell him what gram crackers

315
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:40.359
are used for the twentieth century. We use it to

316
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:46.640
put kidney gardeners down for naps. I'd love to see

317
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:47.839
his face on that one.

318
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.000
That's what happens when you go that long. Is a

319
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.359
gram cracker is sexually satisfying to you.

320
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.200
So I guess I'm not the only one going through

321
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:09.519
a dry January tray. Yeah. Instead of simply preaching abstinence,

322
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.680
Pastor Graham created something else entirely in hopes of quenching

323
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:17.799
people's sexual appetite and curing them a bland cracker like snack.

324
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.480
He rose to prominence in the Presbyterian Church, but was

325
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.759
always obsessed with health. After a childhood spent as a

326
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:30.559
frail and sickly child, he realized it was his life's

327
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.079
mission to prevent the evils of sex indulgence and what

328
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.599
he believed to be the unhealthy effects of lust.

329
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.359
Or he just realized, that's the first example of when

330
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:43.920
you eat a cracker in bed, you're gonna piss your

331
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:45.799
woman off because you get crumbs everywhere.

332
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.279
So the anti sex crusade was just sort of a cover.

333
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:57.720
He just knew that the crumbs would turn a woman off.

334
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.240
He just knew the crumbs would lead to an anti.

335
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:05.960
He may have been a genius.

336
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.039
Unless you just are starting to eat gram Crackers off

337
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:11.200
of each other. Now, I don't know how that works either,

338
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:11.960
but I don't.

339
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:17.480
Think so, not the way that his original recipe sounds.

340
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:21.160
Where did it go? In eighteen twenty nine, Graham took

341
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.759
his mission and invented what would later become the gram Cracker.

342
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:28.039
It was tasteless, dry whole wheat, made of finely ground

343
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:32.880
unbleached wheat flour and coarsely ground wheat brand. The gram

344
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.680
Crackers transformation into the sweet honeyed snack we know today

345
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.319
happened after Nabisco got a hold of it in the

346
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:39.200
eighteen nineties.

347
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:43.640
So yeah, yeah, that sounds about right.

348
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:49.480
Yeah, Reverend Graham believed the Reverend Graham believed the original

349
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:53.920
gram crackers blandness would keep sensual urges at bay, especially

350
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.440
in adolescent boys.

351
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:00.599
Okay, that just got creepy.

352
00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:03.920
Well, I mean that is when we're at our horniest.

353
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:09.720
So you get him Graham Cracker. Hey, put that away,

354
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:13.880
here's a cracker. I don't know how that works.

355
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:16.960
It'd be a hell of a be a hell of

356
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:18.599
an advertising campaign from Nbisco.

357
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:21.359
That'd be a great commercial.

358
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.319
Just walk in and you got the kid uh in

359
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.720
bed and he's like here's a cracker.

360
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:30.079
Are you horny?

361
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:30.519
Here?

362
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.359
Scott Bacula went back in time and showed him how

363
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:36.680
to make a breakfast cast role.

364
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:43.240
His ruined, especially with that sweet tea recipe.

365
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.440

00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:44.799
the year twenty twenty five. Happy New Year to all.

376
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:50.720
Lots of things happened over the holiday break This story

377
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:53.240
that I saw was definitely, I think an important piece

378
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.079
of information that I wanted to share with you guys today,

379
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:03.039
and that is being before you exercise apparently has an

380
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:08.119
incredible effect on performance. It's a very important study that

381
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:15.079
was released recently or past. It says, in part, if

382
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.160
you're looking to improve your performance both cognitively and physically,

383
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:23.720
you need to start by giving a crap. Literally. Experts

384
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:25.880
say to go to the toilet and empty your bowels

385
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:28.720
if you're about to compete in a triathlon. It will

386
00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:32.480
make you both faster and smarter. That's according to that's

387
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:36.880
according to two recent studies that were pushed out recently

388
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:38.079
by the medical field.

389
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.880
Yeah, who can can do it on command? Like I

390
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:45.640
think you can just crap on command?

391
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.759
I don't know either. I mean, I wish, I mean

392
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:51.319
I don't.

393
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:54.880
I swear to God, I'm not making this up. There

394
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:56.960
was a time in my life when I toyed with

395
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:01.200
very briefly, with the notion of milit terry, not military,

396
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:02.880
and one of the reasons I didn't want to do it.

397
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.519
There were many others, but one of the reasons I

398
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:06.279
didn't want to do it was because I don't want

399
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.359
to poop in front of anybody. And I also can't

400
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:13.319
speed poop. I am physically unable to speed poop. Like

401
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:14.960
you said, I can't do it on command. I have

402
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:16.160
no idea how people do that.

403
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:20.960
I mean, I'm envious of anyone who can. I mean,

404
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:24.559
I I don't even go every day, So I'm I'm like,

405
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:27.960
you don't go every day?

406
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.799
No, No, Oh, I'm I'm so regular. I'm I'm like

407
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.279
at least three times a day.

408
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:39.400
Wow, that's weird. I'm lucky if I three or four

409
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:39.960
times a week.

410
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.279
See to me, that's it's okay, that's really weird. And

411
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:47.319
you should probably maybe.

412
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:47.839
I just off.

413
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.319
Maybe you'd like cut down on the cheese or something.

414
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:53.960
Yeah, I don't. I don't know what you're doing, buddy,

415
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:56.160
But that's that is is case? So one of your

416
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:56.880
food groups.

417
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:01.680
No, and it's it's always been this way. This isn't

418
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:02.720
anything new.

419
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.720
No. So, I mean your digestive system every twenty four hours, right,

420
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:10.480
so if you have breakfast at eight am, the next

421
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:13.680
day at eight am, you should have a bowel movement.

422
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.039
You said, should that's the most dangerous word in the

423
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:17.920
English language.

424
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:18.839
Yeah.

425
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.039
So, but but I do like when I eat, you know,

426
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:25.359
I breakfast in the morning. The next day, same.

427
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.559
Thing, breakfast, breakfast meets again.

428
00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:28.920
Yeah.

429
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:32.200
So I mean it's every time, every twenty four hours

430
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.119
is when you should have a bowel movement there, buddy,

431
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.960
kind of. I have a friend of mine who's a

432
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.400
gastro and allst in Houston. I might drive you down

433
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.519
there and have you meet him, like, because that doesn't

434
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.640
sound I'm very healthy at all times.

435
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.160
That's not sick. He can drive himself.

436
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:55.759
Oh, it'll be his car.

437
00:27:55.839 --> 00:28:02.640
I'm just saying, I'll just give direct so uh but yeah,

438
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.720
that's kind of uh, that's kind of weird.

439
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:09.079
Man. And before anyone starts giving me tips, I've tried

440
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:09.400
them all.

441
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:11.039
Don't stop. Please, don't.

442
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.359
Oh about about tips on how to go more frequently.

443
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.279
Yes, I'm with you.

444
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:19.920
That's that's one area where I don't need. If my

445
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:24.599
doctor says I'm healthy, then then whatever I'm doing is fine.

446
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:27.319
There's if it ain't broke, don't fix it, whether that's

447
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:31.599
uaje every twenty four hours like clockwork or tray three

448
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:33.880
to four times a week, and that's it. As long

449
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:36.640
as as long as you're given the stamp of healthy

450
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:38.720
by your doctor, then then it's working for you.

451
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:44.000
Yeah, well you've gotten huh what you've gotten?

452
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:49.640
People are like, oh, more fiber. Yeah, and more fiber

453
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.119
will clog me up even worse. And that's so interesting.

454
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:54.359
That's a painful clogging.

455
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:02.200
That's a that's a firm reality that occurs.

456
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:04.160
When it does.

457
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:07.200
But yeah, according to two new studies, pooping before you

458
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.799
exercise has an incredible effect on performance. The latest research

459
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:16.200
involved thirteen triathletes, a cognitive test called the stroop test,

460
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:18.279
which is obviously begging to be called the poop test,

461
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.240
and a magnesium oxide laxative. The result, the athletes performed

462
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:28.119
measurably better on the cognitive test after avoiding their large intestines,

463
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:31.640
a finding that suggests an under explored link between the

464
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:39.160
rectum and cognitive function. Or I guess put another way.

465
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:44.119
You know, the old adage you may have for brains.

466
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:49.559
Science seems to have confirmed it.

467
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:51.759
That's a part of the story.

468
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:53.920
I didn't really is there to given a laxative, So

469
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:55.799
that's okay.

470
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:01.200
Which I think would be dangerous before a triathlon. Yeah,

471
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:03.039
I'm going to be running. I don't want to be

472
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:04.160
running with the runs.

473
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:10.480
That's the part. That's the part where you want to

474
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:11.319
go swimming first.

475
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:16.319
Yeah, well yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah, because then

476
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:18.920
that way it kind of you get cleaned hopefully. Yeah,

477
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.359
but you better make sure you're done because the thing

478
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:25.720
you don't want to do is to swim, and then

479
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.240
you have the runs, and then you've got the runs,

480
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:31.720
more runs while you're running, and then and then you

481
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:33.359
got a bike with more runs.

482
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:36.000
I think, don't you start off biking so like you

483
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.640
basically you don't want to be the person behind you

484
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:49.599
because then you're gonna get you know, s stream.

485
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:47.519
A bit of a trail.

486
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:51.240
Yeah.

487
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:53.279
I guess you go to the water and clean off

488
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:55.759
and then there's anything left, and you know it's just

489
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:56.920
gonna be running down your leg.

490
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:00.960
You're gonna be a hit on the on the on

491
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:06.519
the metal podium, all the all the pretty girls standing

492
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:07.599
behind you just start.

493
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:12.640
That's like, why did he start swimming first?

494
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.039
Like he's going backwards? Did he know something we don't?

495
00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:21.079
This is like ready player one.

To advertise here inside the Treehouse, Dan, Trey and Raj

504
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.720
here with you. There were a few more things about

505
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:18.839
dry January. I wanted to throw at you guys because

506
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:23.440
I thought was interesting. So I'm starting I've started dry January.

507
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.279
So far, so good.

508
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:28.680
I haven't, you know, had any crazy cravings or wanted

509
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:32.000
to kill anybody yet or anything like that. I have noticed,

510
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.640
And this was true for when I quit smoking, with

511
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.759
quitting drinking for the month or however long I'd end

512
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:43.000
up doing it. I'm very much a creature of habit,

513
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:46.039
So when it came time to quit smoking, a lot

514
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:49.519
of it had to do with the whole process, not

515
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:54.359
just the cigarette and the nicotine addiction itself, but the habit,

516
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:59.279
the ritual, packing a new pack of smokes, pulling out,

517
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.480
pulling it out, lighting at the first draw, all of

518
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:05.160
a sudden, I want a cigarette. And then same thing

519
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.200
with drinking, which is and the way I quit smoking

520
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:12.400
initially was not cold turkey, but with a cigarette like

521
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:17.960
vape thing, but it actually looked like and tasted like

522
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:20.720
a cigarette. I just kept in my pocket, but it

523
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:24.079
was like an easig and that helped the going through

524
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.839
the habit and the ritual that helped me quit smoking.

525
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:30.319
Same thing with the not drinking. I typically drink like

526
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:33.319
a vodka soda. So what I what I'm doing now

527
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:35.519
is I'm just making a club soda with no vodkan,

528
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.960
still drinking something. So I'm still going through the process.

529
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:42.839
I'm just I'm not getting the actual substance, but I'm

530
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.160
still going through the ritual, if that makes sense. I

531
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.160
don't know if that's that's good or bad tray.

532
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:50.599
No, it's you know, It's like I was never a

533
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:55.720
big beer drinker, but in the first, especially the first

534
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:59.160
months of sobriety, I would have a non alcoholic beer

535
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:02.640
if I went out to a bar or something, just

536
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.720
because when you get away from it, you realize that

537
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:11.199
so many things in our society, and especially you know,

538
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.320
going like everything, so many things just revolve around drinking.

539
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:18.639
That's just it's a huge part of it. And when

540
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:22.760
you're in those first, you know, beginning days, it makes

541
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.519
the transition easier that just having something in your hand,

542
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:32.920
and that makes you feel like everyone else, you know.

543
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:34.320
And then after a while you get to the point

544
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:39.360
you're like, yeah, I'm I'm drinking water. Go after yourself.

545
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:43.559
You know. It's when people are like, well, why'd you drinking?

546
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:44.920
I don't.

547
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:49.880
Because because if your Trey, your response to that could

548
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:54.840
be because I was full. Yeah, Trey had no more

549
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:56.440
room left. He had taken it all.

550
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.840
A buddy mind did ginger all with a splash of coked,

551
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.360
so it looked like a whiskey in his glass.

552
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.000
We stage, we do it all the time.

553
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:10.039
Like, you know, there's times people come in and like, hey,

554
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:14.320
can you make me you know, a tail a soda

555
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:16.400
with a slash splash of cranberry so it looks like

556
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.599
you're drinking a vodka cranberry or you know, things like

557
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:22.719
that that or even just sometimes just a coke and

558
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:27.119
a cocktail glass. So you know, no one thinks twice

559
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:27.559
about it.

560
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:32.800
Yeah, it is interesting while attempting the dry January thing,

561
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:37.239
not really experiencing necessarily any withdrawals. I feel pretty much

562
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.159
the same. I sleep a little bit heavier when I.

563
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:44.039
Do sleep, but at weird weird dreams.

564
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:49.239
I have weird dreams anyway, because I take melatonin, so

565
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:51.599
melotonin give gives me weird dreams.

566
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:51.719
As it is.

567
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:54.519
So there's not a huge change that I've seen so far.

568
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:59.519
The the Dry January Challenge, it began in twenty thirteen.

569
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.920
It was start by alcohol change in the United Kingdom.

570
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.039
And some of the benefits of dry January that I'm

571
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:11.280
looking forward to are improved sleep, weight loss, and increased energy.

572
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:14.840
And it also says that people struggling with heavy alcohol

573
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:19.760
use should consult a medical professional before participating. I didn't

574
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:22.639
do that. I'm just talking to you, Trey, because Trey,

575
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.639
you're the bones of the tree House. You're like from

576
00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:30.519
Star Trek. Yeah, you're the bones of the Treehouse. I'm

577
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:33.719
Captain Kirk, your bones, the ship's doctor.

578
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:40.480
Really, the white guy is the doctor. Indian guys not

579
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:40.960
the doctor.

580
00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:43.360
This show doesn't follow stereotype.

581
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:47.719
Rush, It's not really a stereotype at this point.

582
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:52.920
Indian guy. In Star Trek, you'd be wearing a red uniform.

583
00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:59.639
In the Treehouse, I'm the one that doesn't beam up.

584
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:02.840
You're on that first away team.

595
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:03.800
you said there was something else you needed to mention

596
00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:04.760
about dry January.

597
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:07.559
Yeah, it's something you kind of touched on. And this

598
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.920
is kind of a just a PSA. If you have

599
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:14.920
been drinking heavily, do not quit cold turkey. Wean yourself off.

600
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:18.800
Consult a doctor. You can do heroin every day for

601
00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:21.079
twenty years and quit cold turkey and it'll hurt, but

602
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:24.400
it won't kill you. Alcohol will can kill you if

603
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:25.480
you quit cold turkey.

604
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:26.400
Really.

605
00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:29.360
Yeah, absolutely, the seizures that can cause.

606
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:33.000
Absolutely can kill you. Huh, I did not know that.

607
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:36.159
Yeah, alcohols what are the few things that permeates the

608
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.679
blood brain barrier and uh so, well, you know, you

609
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:41.679
hear the term. You've heard the term wet brain before

610
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:46.199
for alcoholics. That's because it really does get into the brain.

611
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:51.360
And so if you have been a prolonged drinking heavy drinking,

612
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:56.679
consult a physician. If nothing else, wean yourself off. Like

613
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:59.840
and basically here's how you do it. When you start shaking,

614
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:03.800
drink something you hate, like for me, it was either

615
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:08.119
warm vodka or warm jin warm gin, but you take it, Yeah, exactly.

616
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:13.159
It's not for pleasure, hot zambuca. Yeah, and that's just

617
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:14.559
to make the shakes go away.

618
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.960
Room temperature to waka oh good.

619
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:18.880
Low man.

620
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:23.079
The sad thing is is every every drink we just mentioned,

621
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:26.079
we all would have down in a blink of an eye.

622
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:28.119
In college and before I.

623
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:30.360
Would have never done gin. I was never a fan.

624
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:33.280
I tried it once and one day and that was it.

625
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:34.159
But so.

626
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:40.320
You just give yourself, like you start you start feeling

627
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:44.920
the withdrawal or like, I don't know how that works.

628
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:48.880
If you start having the shakes, and I mean like

629
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:53.599
you're having withdrawals, that means you've got you do not

630
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:56.840
need to go cold turkey and you need to wean

631
00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:57.599
yourself off.

632
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:00.599
Now you if you know how many how many would

633
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:03.880
you like if you start shaking, you take one and

634
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:07.719
then just kind of like just for the people listening,

635
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:10.320
like if you if if it starts again, then you

636
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:10.960
take another one.

637
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:12.440
I don't know how that, Yeah.

638
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:14.159
That's basically I mean, I like how it was for

639
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:19.119
me is I had to start with you know, I

640
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:23.400
probably did ten shots a day just you know, and.

641
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:29.559
That was you well, yeah, holy wow, okay man, I

642
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:30.880
did not know it was like that.

643
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.800
Yeah, I mean it was. I sweated through my sheets

644
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:40.360
every night for thirty days, the shakes. It took, God,

645
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:43.000
it took probably sixty days for the shakes to finally

646
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:47.559
go away. Now, I but it took me nine days

647
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:52.079
to wean off and to day for nine days. No,

648
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:56.679
you tape her down, so okay, ten nine eight, But

649
00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:58.440
but I did it too fast. At one point, and

650
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.000
at an AA meeting there was a guy who ran

651
00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:03.440
a treatment center who told my friends, like, you need

652
00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:05.039
to take him to Parkland right now.

653
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:07.480
Oh no, you thought you're gonna say. He handed you

654
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:10.440
a flask and I was like, no, no, but that'd

655
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:11.119
be looked down on it.

656
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:13.679
Now. That was probably my third day, and that was

657
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:15.400
the worst of it. And then I got through that

658
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:18.239
day and it got better. But yeah, consult the doctor.

659
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:18.960
I was lucky.

660
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:20.199
I had a friend who was a doctor kind of

661
00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:22.119
helped me through it. But you know, if you can

662
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:26.280
go to a doctor and that they can give you things, man,

663
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:28.280
it makes it so much easier. Doing it on your

664
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:29.400
own sucks.

665
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:34.159
Yeah, Drinking uh is can be a dangerous thing if

666
00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:37.320
you're at a certain level. Trey knows that level. I

667
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:40.760
know that level mainly because I've seen it. You mentioned

668
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:45.559
wet brain as a thing I've seen that. I had

669
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:48.199
a friend in the hospital once and he wasn't allowed

670
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:51.679
to drink obviously in the hospital because he was there

671
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:59.039
for allegedly something unrelated, but they gave him medication to

672
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:04.039
help with the DTS from not having booze, to which

673
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:05.920
he of course said that I didn't need that. It's

674
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:10.320
like they don't typically prescribe something unless you need it.

675
00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:15.079
I the first so in in December, when I was like,

676
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:17.119
you know what, I'm I'm just gonna see how this goes.

677
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:19.079
I did get headaches.

678
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:24.639
Pretty frequently, and I don't normally get them, but I

679
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:28.199
did get like two or three days in a row

680
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:31.960
pretty bad headaches, and I just proven for that, and

681
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:33.199
I just thought I would.

682
00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:35.159
Imagine Trey and correct me if I'm wrong here. But

683
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.360
that might be two different things. I mean, it could

684
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:41.360
be from alcohol or if depending on your drink preference,

685
00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:43.639
like if you had a lot of caffeine mixed into

686
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:47.079
your alcohol, maybe the caffeine DTS was giving you the

687
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:47.639
headache as well.

688
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:49.639
I guess it could because I do die.

689
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:57.480
Yeah. Absolutely, Also, it just your body's withdraw from sugar. Yeah,

690
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.119
It's a number of things. But it's like I I

691
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:04.000
have had a couple of friends that tried cold turkey

692
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.360
and ended up in the hospital and in very bad

693
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:10.519
shape because of the seizures that came on. So I

694
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:14.480
just can't stress that enough. If consult a doctor if

695
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:18.280
you can. But yeah, don't don't quit cold turkey.

696
00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:22.079
Yeah, okay, we we appreciate that information and take that
