Today's Treehouse Show starts with two food controversies that raise some important questions — mainly, what is wrong with people?

First up: OREO GATE. One parent is asking all the other parents to stop putting Oreos in their kids' lunches because she doesn't allow her daughter to eat them. Is that a reasonable request...or has parenting officially gone too far?

Then we head to Reddit for an AITAH involving an office food thief. After coworkers repeatedly helped themselves to one woman's food, she came up with a nuclear solution: she told everyone she had herpes. Suddenly, nobody wanted her food anymore. Problem solved?

We also have some former Dallas Cowboys making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and Florida gives us Crooked Jess — a methhead with a memorable nickname who did exactly the kind of things you'd expect Crooked Jess to do when the police showed up.

And finally, Trey posted a new profile picture and someone accused him of using AI to make himself look OLD. There's just one problem: there was no AI involved.

Oreos, office revenge, Cowboys, Crooked Jess and an accidental AI insult — just another day inside The Treehouse Show.

Do you have a storage unit that you've been holding

2
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.200
onto for months, if not years? Do you tell yourself

3
00:00:05.259 --> 00:00:07.379
that this will be the month you finally go close

4
00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:10.369
it down after that rent payment clears? But it's still there,

5
00:00:10.810 --> 00:00:13.550
month after month. This is Trey from the Treehouse Show,

6
00:00:13.589 --> 00:00:17.050

10
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.420

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.800
the profits with you. so you can finally close the

12
00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:32.960
door on that storage unit and make some money in

00:00:32.979 --> 00:00:36.820
the process. Give them a call or text today at

15
00:00:52.450 --> 00:00:57.039
It is time to leave your worries outside. And laugh

16
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.280
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley, along with

17
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:05.340
Trey Trenholm and Jerry Caldwell. Coming up on the show today,

18
00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:10.650
we have got for you Crooked Jess. Really, dude? You're

19
00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:16.930
playing to the livestream crowd already? Trey, for those that

20
00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:20.280
are listening on the quote-unquote regular audio version of the

21
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.760
Treehouse Show podcast at the end of the week, Trey

22
00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:28.629
has resorted to Pulling up his puppy. Lily, his new

23
00:01:28.670 --> 00:01:31.569
Chihuahua puppy, is now at the microphone in front of Trey.

24
00:01:33.430 --> 00:01:34.909
Osama bin Lily.

25
00:01:35.609 --> 00:01:43.829
Osama bin Lily. Little terrorist puppy. I don't think a

26
00:01:43.870 --> 00:01:46.890
face like that could be a terrorist. That's what she

27
00:01:46.909 --> 00:01:47.590
wants you to think.

28
00:01:50.170 --> 00:01:51.650
Don't sell her shorts, sir.

29
00:01:53.209 --> 00:01:55.250
She's capable of many great things.

30
00:01:56.329 --> 00:01:57.250
Oh, my goodness.

31
00:01:57.469 --> 00:02:00.390
So what she is is a honeypot. She uses her

32
00:02:00.430 --> 00:02:02.569
looks to get in and get everything that she needs.

33
00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:09.219
So in addition to puppy cuteness here inside the treehouse today,

34
00:02:09.289 --> 00:02:14.240
we've got Crooked Jess. Trey is ugly. And the Dallas

35
00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:19.060
Cowboys criminal empire rolls on all today.

36
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:20.000
Trey's not ugly. Trey's old.

37
00:02:24.389 --> 00:02:27.090
For a lot of people, Trey, those two are interchangeable.

38
00:02:28.610 --> 00:02:34.000
We can discuss. Yeah, so that's all coming up today

39
00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:37.240
inside the treehouse. But first, we are going to start

40
00:02:37.340 --> 00:02:42.699
out with one of the most ridiculous internet arguments that

41
00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:46.719
I've seen in a long time. OreoGate. Are you guys

42
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.710
familiar with OreoGate? I first saw this like a week ago,

43
00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:56.870
and it just keeps coming back around. OreoGate is the

44
00:02:56.949 --> 00:03:02.319
Internet's newest parenting war. Can one mom ban Oreos from

45
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.560
every kid's lunch, or does her daughter just need to

46
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:13.219
learn the brutal lesson of adulthood? A school mom group

47
00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:18.729
chat showed a parent asking everyone to stop packing Oreos

48
00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:24.490
because her daughter feels excluded. Another mom answered, essentially, that's life.

49
00:03:25.889 --> 00:03:30.129
Because she's, that mom doesn't allow her daughter to have Oreos.

50
00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:34.110
There's no, this is a really important, there's no food allergy.

51
00:03:35.250 --> 00:03:39.680
There's no risk of harm to this girl. It's just

52
00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:40.819
that mom.

53
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:47.780
Right. It is, Oreos are banned in this house. And

54
00:03:48.020 --> 00:03:51.620
when my daughter goes to school, she's surrounded by Oreos,

55
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:56.759
and now she feels excluded. So because of this, the

56
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:02.939
Oreo Nazi mom is now spreading her beliefs into the

57
00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:06.340
mom group chat saying, you guys need to stop having

58
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.860
Oreos in your kids' lunches because they're tempting my child.

59
00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:13.810
The other moms basically said, tough.

60
00:04:16.230 --> 00:04:17.529
They started their own group chat.

61
00:04:18.250 --> 00:04:25.009
Well, yeah. The 17-post Instagram saga has millions of views,

62
00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:29.019
but the conversations are unverified. And, you know, you never know.

63
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.120
It may not be 100% real, but that's true of

64
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.759
anything on the Internet. But for our purposes in here today,

65
00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:37.949
we're going to assume it's real. Because, honestly, whether or

66
00:04:37.990 --> 00:04:42.589
not the source material is real, people's reactions to it are.

67
00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:47.420
So there are people out there that actually do believe

68
00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:52.279
that other parents should fall in line with the parenting

69
00:04:52.420 --> 00:04:57.050
of one, saying everyone should comply, no one should have Oreos.

70
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.370
If one kid can't have Oreos, then none should have Oreos.

71
00:05:02.069 --> 00:05:06.610
Where are they from? Nazi Stan?

72
00:05:06.930 --> 00:05:07.490
Karenville.

73
00:05:08.430 --> 00:05:10.110
Karenville, yeah.

74
00:05:11.029 --> 00:05:11.470
Now, look.

75
00:05:11.870 --> 00:05:14.350
This is something I find fascinating on a couple of levels.

76
00:05:14.810 --> 00:05:18.110
One is as a fat kid growing up, I wish

77
00:05:18.189 --> 00:05:22.970
my parents would have implemented a little more stringent dietary guidelines,

78
00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:26.540
not just for me, but for our household that didn't happen.

79
00:05:26.660 --> 00:05:28.360
So a little Danny run amok.

80
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:34.180
I never, so that's, I never, we, we never had

81
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.269
a lot of junk food around my house. Like I,

82
00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:40.939
I never liked peanut butter as a kid. Um, I

83
00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:46.149
didn't really like sweets until I quit drinking. Never had Oreos,

84
00:05:46.430 --> 00:05:49.550
never had cookies, nothing like that. I mean, it was

85
00:05:49.569 --> 00:05:51.129
always a treat to go over to friends' houses because

86
00:05:51.149 --> 00:05:51.829
they had that stuff.

87
00:05:53.170 --> 00:05:56.589
It's interesting you bring that up because I don't remember

88
00:05:56.629 --> 00:06:02.399
necessarily my household being filled with Oreo-type things, but I

89
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.600
would just overeat as a kid. I do remember very

90
00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:08.259
much because we're talking about the 80s. The house was

91
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.639
full of good old sugary cereals, which that might as

92
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.240
well be a box of Oreos, honestly. And I ate

93
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.259
cereal like I would never eat it again. Every single

94
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.480
morning I ate a bowl of cereal big enough that

95
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.680
you would probably think I would think that I was

96
00:06:25.819 --> 00:06:27.519
never going to have cereal again.

97
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.300
If I needed to put on if all of a sudden,

98
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.759
for some reason, I needed to put on weight. I

99
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.009
would just go buy a big box of cinnamon toast

100
00:06:37.050 --> 00:06:39.149
crunch and a gallon of milk.

101
00:06:39.790 --> 00:06:43.029
Talk slower. Talk slower, baby.

102
00:06:43.410 --> 00:06:48.980
And just bowl after bowl. All the bowls.

103
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:50.720
Just right.

104
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:55.259
But this is also, Dan, I don't remember if we

105
00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:59.259
had this discussion on or off the air about us

106
00:06:59.339 --> 00:07:00.500
not having kids anymore.

107
00:07:03.259 --> 00:07:05.279
I think it was off the air, but yeah. So yeah.

108
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.410
But this is a reason why it's probably good. I

109
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.930
had never had kids because if I was a parent

110
00:07:11.029 --> 00:07:15.879
in this group, I would stuff my kids bag with a,

111
00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:21.089
with a thing of double stuff Oreos every effing day.

112
00:07:23.290 --> 00:07:24.329
I would take it a step further.

113
00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:25.970
I would give them a couple extra and be like,

114
00:07:26.149 --> 00:07:28.329
give this one to the kid that's missing out.

115
00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:29.120
Oh, absolutely.

116
00:07:29.310 --> 00:07:31.740
Just to have everybody get together, send all of their

117
00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:33.060
kids with one extra Oreo and.

118
00:07:34.589 --> 00:07:37.189
I would go along the premise of, you know, they say, well,

119
00:07:37.209 --> 00:07:39.550
do you have enough to share with the class? Yes,

120
00:07:39.670 --> 00:07:40.829
I do. Here you go.

121
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.660
You two are adorable in your pettiness.

122
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.019
Oh, you would take the high road?

123
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.769
No, I'd take the much, much worse road. I would

124
00:07:53.810 --> 00:07:55.990
go so low. You'd be like, dude, that seems a

125
00:07:56.009 --> 00:07:59.300
little much. So in this scenario, because I don't like

126
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.430
being told what to do, and if I don't like

127
00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:03.769
being told what to do, I really am not going

128
00:08:03.810 --> 00:08:05.689
to like you telling me, like a lot of parents,

129
00:08:06.029 --> 00:08:07.790
how to parent my child and what I should do

130
00:08:07.850 --> 00:08:10.769
because you're doing something that I think is absolutely freaking crazy.

131
00:08:11.290 --> 00:08:13.970
So what I would do is I would have an

132
00:08:14.230 --> 00:08:18.720
outright Oreo cookie party. I would have Tiff's Treats lined up,

133
00:08:19.939 --> 00:08:23.079
stacked deep in the parent drop-off line, ready to come

134
00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:29.769
in with trays of cookies and treats and not just

135
00:08:29.850 --> 00:08:34.500
Oreo cookies but Oreo cookie cookies and cookies and cream

136
00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:39.860
ice cream all delivered right there for everyone at lunch

137
00:08:41.299 --> 00:08:45.490
everyone these kids are going to be surrounded by Oreos

138
00:08:45.649 --> 00:08:48.929
I might even hire a dancing Oreo to come in

139
00:08:48.950 --> 00:08:56.279
okay So I think I might be going too far

140
00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:59.210
with it. While at the same time, I would not

141
00:08:59.250 --> 00:08:59.649
want my.

142
00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:05.649
I could see myself being the parent that is not

143
00:09:05.690 --> 00:09:09.889
allowing my kid to have Oreos. I would treat them

144
00:09:09.990 --> 00:09:11.990
very much like a treat and be like, you don't

145
00:09:12.029 --> 00:09:14.409
get these whenever you want them. This is a special thing.

146
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.879
Because I was a fat kid and I want to

147
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.980
instill proper food relationships with kids. but I'm not going

148
00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:26.460
to take that militant attitude and make everyone else subscribe

149
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:26.779
to it.

150
00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:30.220
Well, it also gets to the forbidden fruit theory of,

151
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.759
you know, if you make something, you tell your kid.

152
00:09:35.350 --> 00:09:37.590
Clear your throat. I guess you had too many Oreos

153
00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:38.690
for breakfast. Yeah.

154
00:09:39.350 --> 00:09:41.730
If you tell your kid that they can't have something, well,

155
00:09:41.750 --> 00:09:43.190
that's just going to make them want it more.

156
00:09:43.210 --> 00:09:45.970
That's right. And I'm not saying they can't have it

157
00:09:46.009 --> 00:09:47.230
at all, but just.

158
00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:50.909
you know, but much like reason moderation, like with, with

159
00:09:50.950 --> 00:09:54.629
you and what you're talking about, it's not Oreos that

160
00:09:54.669 --> 00:09:56.549
are the issue. It's the moderation. That's an issue.

161
00:09:58.690 --> 00:10:01.299
Moderation is, is a, been a problem with me in

162
00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:04.139
my entire life. It's like if I like something, I

163
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:04.769
want all of it.

164
00:10:05.059 --> 00:10:07.879
Please, tell the recovering alcoholic about problems with moderation.

165
00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:10.850
Oh, yeah. I know who I'm talking to. Trust me.

166
00:10:11.509 --> 00:10:14.370
I read the room. I know there is a level

167
00:10:14.409 --> 00:10:17.070
of relatability between you and me on a whole other level.

168
00:10:18.190 --> 00:10:20.740
But that's also... That's also the same reason why I

169
00:10:20.779 --> 00:10:23.879
never got into drugs is because it's like, look, I

170
00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:26.559
like all the things. Right. So I know it's best

171
00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:27.919
for me to just stay away from that.

172
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.059
Listen, I've never done coke for a reason is because

173
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.330
I always knew I had an addictive personality. Just booze

174
00:10:33.370 --> 00:10:35.269
snuck up on me. But I mean, there's a reason

175
00:10:35.330 --> 00:10:38.450
if I bake cookies, I give 90 percent of them

176
00:10:38.509 --> 00:10:41.450
away because I know I will eat all of them.

177
00:10:41.750 --> 00:10:44.129
That's right. You know what the best thing is? Like

178
00:10:44.169 --> 00:10:48.409
there's a reason why. stereotypically chefs are fat, right? It's

179
00:10:48.450 --> 00:10:51.450
because they have to taste everything as they go. That's

180
00:10:51.490 --> 00:10:54.929
one of my favorite things about cooking, especially holiday cooking.

181
00:10:55.429 --> 00:10:58.340
If I'm smoking a turkey or deep frying the turkey

182
00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:02.360
or steaks on the grill or something, and you're carving

183
00:11:02.419 --> 00:11:05.500
it up afterwards, you get the nibbles before everybody else

184
00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:09.470
gets it. And then when someone says, hey, stop eating that,

185
00:11:09.610 --> 00:11:11.629
I say, oh, whoa, whoa, I cooked it. This is

186
00:11:11.690 --> 00:11:15.730
quality control. And in order to quality control, I need

187
00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:23.039
to eat an entire deep fried turkey thigh. Basically, this

188
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.480
all comes down to, is it okay for you as

189
00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:29.779
a parent to tell all the other parents what to

190
00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:34.100
do with their kids so your kid and you ultimately

191
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:42.169
feel better about your decisions? Absolutely not. It's asinine to

192
00:11:42.190 --> 00:11:44.450
me to think that other people would be like, you

193
00:11:44.490 --> 00:11:48.210
know what, if Karen doesn't want her kid to have

194
00:11:48.350 --> 00:11:53.350
Oreos and therefore doesn't want me to put Oreos in

195
00:11:53.429 --> 00:11:56.769
my kid's lunch, then I'm going to respect that.

196
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:04.840
Yeah, again, and I would at least understand the request

197
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.139
if we were talking about a food allergy that was

198
00:12:07.179 --> 00:12:11.789
potentially harmful to the kid. But otherwise, F all the

199
00:12:11.830 --> 00:12:12.149
way off.

200
00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:17.100
Look, I mean, I get it. I've been on a

201
00:12:17.179 --> 00:12:22.659
plane before where a child was on the plane and

202
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:30.169
the flight crew announced, because of this severe peanut allergy,

203
00:12:30.649 --> 00:12:34.350
we don't have certain snack options available to you.

204
00:12:34.809 --> 00:12:37.990
In the golden age of Southwest Airlines, they just handed

205
00:12:38.049 --> 00:12:40.759
out peanuts. And then the food allergy people put a

206
00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:42.500
stop to that. Yeah.

207
00:12:42.970 --> 00:12:45.789
I know, and this is a weird place to be

208
00:12:45.850 --> 00:12:47.970
in because on one hand, I don't want that kid

209
00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:51.549
to die, but I really wanted some goddamn peanuts.

210
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.320
Especially when they were honey roasted.

211
00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:58.659
I know, it's the good ones. Oh, God, so good.

212
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.620
It'd be like, what is it, American or Delta, they

213
00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:04.279
hand out the little Biscoff cookies or something. If they

214
00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:06.639
were to say, sorry, no Biscoffs because they got peanuts

215
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:07.879
in it and we can't have it, I'd be like,

216
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.039
You show me where they are. I'll come to them.

217
00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:13.610
That's half the reason I booked this airline.

218
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.730
When you're sitting in the big seat on Spirit Airlines,

219
00:13:16.929 --> 00:13:18.750
you could get your pick of their little snack tray,

220
00:13:18.909 --> 00:13:19.669
which wasn't bad.

221
00:13:20.450 --> 00:13:22.330
It really wasn't bad. And I'll tell you right now,

222
00:13:22.370 --> 00:13:25.190
the peanut allergy airline was not Spirit. Spirit did not

223
00:13:25.210 --> 00:13:27.750
give a, pardon the pun, a flying fuck about your

224
00:13:27.809 --> 00:13:28.769
kid's peanut allergy.

225
00:13:29.429 --> 00:13:30.330
They would charge you extra.

226
00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:34.509
That's right. And they would charge you more for the

227
00:13:34.570 --> 00:13:35.470
epinephrine shot.

228
00:13:35.690 --> 00:13:35.970
Huh?

229
00:13:39.049 --> 00:13:41.590
You can't break glass in case of an emergency if

230
00:13:41.649 --> 00:13:47.169
you need an epinephrine shot. Instead, it was swipe, then

231
00:13:47.230 --> 00:13:48.669
you could open the door and take it. You have

232
00:13:48.690 --> 00:13:53.110
to pay for it. Everyone in the chat is saying, yeah, absolutely.

233
00:13:53.149 --> 00:13:54.809
I would send more cookies to school.

234
00:13:57.830 --> 00:14:00.009
Linda's just showing off that she's eating a giant cupcake.

235
00:14:00.769 --> 00:14:03.779
How dare you, Linda? You know what? Real quick, though,

236
00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:06.220
that's the beauty of adulthood, is if one morning you

237
00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:08.320
wake up and you want a cupcake for breakfast, then

238
00:14:08.669 --> 00:14:12.470
By God, you eat it. That's right. There's also kind

239
00:14:12.509 --> 00:14:14.309
of the conundrum, though, for me. It's like.

240
00:14:15.710 --> 00:14:18.610
The age when you're a kid and into your 20s,

241
00:14:19.470 --> 00:14:21.860
that's when you really should be enjoying those things like

242
00:14:21.889 --> 00:14:24.120
Oreo cookies and the fast food and the gym because

243
00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:27.039
that's when your body can handle it the most. Not enough, obviously,

244
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.940
to be detrimental to your health down the road, but

245
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:31.440
that's when you can handle that the best.

246
00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:33.379
And so, you know, telling the.

247
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.039
Kid, I want you to have Oreo cookies because I'm

248
00:14:36.059 --> 00:14:37.480
trying to instill in you healthy eating.

249
00:14:40.490 --> 00:14:41.950
You've got to make up for that sometime.

250
00:14:42.250 --> 00:14:49.600
But here's the thing. In reality, an Oreo cookie has

251
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.559
so little to do with healthy eating. That's such a

252
00:14:53.980 --> 00:15:00.379
much broader subject. We just now changed the food pyramid

253
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:04.509
from what was completely just stupid. I'm not trying to

254
00:15:04.990 --> 00:15:06.429
get political one way or the other, but the old

255
00:15:06.450 --> 00:15:08.570
food pyramid was absolutely ridiculous.

256
00:15:09.169 --> 00:15:11.110
Ketchup counts as a serving of vegetables.

257
00:15:11.590 --> 00:15:11.809
Yeah.

258
00:15:12.110 --> 00:15:15.870
Well, and not only that, and to me, the food

259
00:15:15.929 --> 00:15:21.509
pyramid was political in nature, but not in a, you know,

260
00:15:21.889 --> 00:15:24.879
right and left type of way. Everyone got to share

261
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:26.820
the blame on that one because it was straight up

262
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:32.720
the food industry. Yeah. Lobbying and saying, here's your new

263
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.899
food guide. And all the politicians, all of them, R's

264
00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:39.519
and D's and I's and F up's. All of them

265
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.759
are like, okay. And the next thing you know, we

266
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.419
have this upside down food pyramid.

267
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.330
You looked at what the majority of crops were and

268
00:15:46.350 --> 00:15:50.950
then what was the base of the food pyramid? You know, wheat, corn, bread,

269
00:15:51.009 --> 00:15:53.769
all the, all the stuff, which I love, but that's not,

270
00:15:54.210 --> 00:15:57.389
that's not the foundation for a healthy diet. And seriously,

271
00:15:57.429 --> 00:16:03.549
you look, go look. I mean, I was at Kroger

272
00:16:03.590 --> 00:16:06.750
yesterday and And I hate to see it, but you

273
00:16:07.149 --> 00:16:10.120
go follow a fat person around the grocery store and

274
00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:11.899
you'll understand why they're overweight.

275
00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:17.860
I've heard somebody say it, that one of the best

276
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.600
ways to shop healthily at the grocery store is to

277
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.200
stay out of the.

278
00:16:21.139 --> 00:16:24.629
Middle of it. Yeah, you stay on the perimeter. On

279
00:16:24.649 --> 00:16:28.250
the outside perimeter, yeah. Also, the best tip I can

280
00:16:28.289 --> 00:16:31.750
give you is don't go hungry. And look, I know

281
00:16:31.789 --> 00:16:34.490
we all should know this at a certain age. And

282
00:16:34.529 --> 00:16:36.450
we've all made the mistake, even as an adult. I

283
00:16:36.490 --> 00:16:38.669
occasionally still make the mistake, and I leave the store

284
00:16:38.730 --> 00:16:42.029
regretting it. I'm like, God damn it. Don't ever go

285
00:16:42.049 --> 00:16:44.929
to the store hungry. And if you haven't eaten something,

286
00:16:45.250 --> 00:16:47.820
here's another additional little trick. When you go to the store,

287
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:50.100
if it just wasn't possible, the first thing you do,

288
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:51.879
go in there and buy like a liter of water

289
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.679
and chug that. Chug the water so your belly will

290
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.600
feel a little full, and you won't be as tempted

291
00:16:58.659 --> 00:17:02.759
to get the stuff you don't actually need. At least

292
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:07.269
it not only hydrates you, but it also fills your

293
00:17:07.349 --> 00:17:11.210
willpower bank just a little bit. It's one of the

294
00:17:11.230 --> 00:17:12.190
great things about Costco.

295
00:17:12.210 --> 00:17:13.410
You can pop in there and eat a couple of

296
00:17:13.430 --> 00:17:15.150
slices of pizza or have a dog, and then you

297
00:17:15.190 --> 00:17:19.470
can shop. And that way you're not hungry because you

298
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.539
go to Costco hungry, you're in trouble. On the other hand,

299
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.059
I've gone to Costco hungry on purpose because I'm going

300
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:26.759
to eat today.

301
00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:32.160
Oh, yeah, the sandwich. Yeah, exactly. Going on Sunday at

302
00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:36.700
about 11 a.m. I also noticed this the other day.

303
00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:39.259
So you know the show My 600-lb Life?

304
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:40.059
Mm-hmm.

305
00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:42.579
Now there's a new one I just saw on my

306
00:17:42.779 --> 00:17:46.369
guide on my TV, My 1,000-lb Sister. It's like, Jesus Christ,

307
00:17:46.529 --> 00:17:48.910
did no one talk to them yet about healthy eating?

308
00:17:49.690 --> 00:17:52.109
These shows are getting more extreme. It's like it started

309
00:17:52.130 --> 00:17:55.029
with 600-lb Life. Now we're going to 1,000-lb Sister. There's 1,000-lb Sisters.

310
00:17:55.849 --> 00:18:07.839
There's 1,000-lb Roommates. Like I it's we glamorize. I mean, there,

311
00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:11.240
there is a guy, uh, on Tik TOK. His name

312
00:18:11.349 --> 00:18:16.369
is like James Bola, I think. And anyone familiar with

313
00:18:16.410 --> 00:18:18.369
big pun, the rapper that died.

314
00:18:18.430 --> 00:18:19.329
Yeah. Okay.

315
00:18:19.509 --> 00:18:21.349
Did you ever see what he looked like before he

316
00:18:21.390 --> 00:18:21.829
got fat?

317
00:18:23.250 --> 00:18:23.789
I don't remember.

318
00:18:24.329 --> 00:18:27.349
You should Google it. He, he actually played linebacker. I

319
00:18:27.369 --> 00:18:30.450
think he played linebacker at Miami. Or he was drafted. Like,

320
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.140
he was built. Damn. This guy's the same way. This

321
00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:37.160
guy used to be, you know, in shape, everything else.

322
00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:40.359
And then, and this is where, and it speaks to

323
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.599
so many other social issues. People don't give enough credence

324
00:18:45.619 --> 00:18:48.359
to the fact that people will do anything to be

325
00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:52.460
popular on social media. Because this guy has a ton

326
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:58.980
of followers now. He eats butter straight. His breakfast, he

327
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:04.299
will eat two packages of Oreos in a bowl with

328
00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:05.900
whole milk. Like it's cereal.

329
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.880
All right. That sounds good.

330
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:13.619
Like they they've, they've counted in one meal. This guy

331
00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:16.609
will consume like 7,000 calories.

332
00:19:19.109 --> 00:19:21.369
Except he's not jumping in the pool like Michael Phelps.

333
00:19:22.029 --> 00:19:22.230
Right.

334
00:19:23.789 --> 00:19:27.589
Um, Yeah. And look, you're 100% right, Trey. Now, I

335
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.690
will say this, that goes back to some type of

336
00:19:30.750 --> 00:19:34.410
a mental health thing. And it's almost like you were saying,

337
00:19:34.430 --> 00:19:39.829
like with alcohol, alcoholism kind of snuck up on you, right?

338
00:19:40.309 --> 00:19:44.910
And I think the food thing and the social media

339
00:19:44.930 --> 00:19:48.369
thing is similar to alcoholism. The door opens a little

340
00:19:48.410 --> 00:19:51.049
bit and you go through and then you get the

341
00:19:51.089 --> 00:19:54.730
feel good dopamine stuff. And then it grows over time.

342
00:19:55.130 --> 00:19:57.880
And then you end up basically addicted to it.

343
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.400
I don't think it's, I think it's, I think a

344
00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:02.660
lot of, for a lot of people, it's a decision.

345
00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:05.480
I don't think it sneaks up on them. Like this guy,

346
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:10.019
he started doing food videos, like, the hashtag mukbang, I

347
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.089
think is what it was. And, uh, and then he

348
00:20:14.109 --> 00:20:18.730
got more and more popular for basically overeating and obviously

349
00:20:18.769 --> 00:20:23.069
he monetized it. So instead of doing it responsibly or

350
00:20:23.109 --> 00:20:25.750
anything else, I mean, hell there's, there's a chick on

351
00:20:25.849 --> 00:20:29.009
Tik TOK that does eating competitions where she goes to

352
00:20:29.049 --> 00:20:32.369
these places that, you know, like the 72 ounce steak

353
00:20:32.430 --> 00:20:36.829
and Amarillo and, uh, She just travels the country doing that.

354
00:20:36.849 --> 00:20:39.309
I mean, she's got a ton of followers, but she's skinny.

355
00:20:40.990 --> 00:20:41.390
I've seen her.

356
00:20:41.849 --> 00:20:46.450
Yeah. This guy, I mean, it's just, it's disgusting to

357
00:20:46.490 --> 00:20:46.950
watch him eat.

358
00:20:49.849 --> 00:20:56.119
So let's go from Mama Karen in the Oreo, you know,

359
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.740
group chat. And now let's shift over to another discussion

360
00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:04.400
of food. And that is, how to deal with people

361
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:10.339
stealing your food at work. Now, this is something that

362
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:13.599
we've all dealt with numerous times in our professional lives,

363
00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:19.569
especially because a radio station break room is a cesspool

364
00:21:19.630 --> 00:21:26.910
for free food and food lurkers, food murchers. Sorry, food moochers.

365
00:21:28.009 --> 00:21:33.839
That being said, we're talking 20 years ago. When I'm

366
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.980
starting out in radio, 20, 25 years ago, almost 30

367
00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:40.400
years ago now, a good portion of my diet where

368
00:21:40.619 --> 00:21:43.660
I got food was in the radio station break room

369
00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:46.539
because back in the day, food places were dropping food

370
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.240
off in the radio station all the time. That's how

371
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:51.960
Chipotle got big, by the way. They kept dropping off

372
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.900
those mega-sized burritos at the radio stations, and we all

373
00:21:55.940 --> 00:21:57.579
got on the air and talked about how big these

374
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.500
burritos were. And that was how I had food in

375
00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:02.539
my belly some days.

376
00:22:03.170 --> 00:22:03.710
Mm-hmm.

377
00:22:03.950 --> 00:22:07.369
I remember that. The good old days. But yeah, yeah.

378
00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:13.539
Now it's a little more sparse. Anyway, so let's get

379
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:17.460
Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration into the treehouse.

380
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.799
833-COOK-DFW is the phone number to get your free roof

381
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:27.480
inspection and property review scheduled. The website, cookdfw.com. I'm going

382
00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:35.980
to say some scary words, Daniel. Super L- And the

383
00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:40.819
effect that is going to have on weather, especially in

384
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.039
the North Texas area. You know, you're right.

385
00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:48.869
We just are officially in going into the Super El Nino.

386
00:22:49.369 --> 00:22:51.849
The reason why is because it's warmer than a regular

387
00:22:51.910 --> 00:22:56.170
El Nino. And it does prelude that we will have

388
00:22:56.250 --> 00:23:01.119
a wetter, higher rain percentage than than a normal year.

389
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:05.140
Or should we say on El Nino? So there are

390
00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:09.569
some differences, speculations. Nothing is set in stone. This is

391
00:23:09.609 --> 00:23:11.390
not a guarantee that we're going to have a deluge

392
00:23:11.430 --> 00:23:13.910
of water for the next year. I mean, that's just

393
00:23:13.930 --> 00:23:17.880
not what it means. Scientific data says, hey, we might

394
00:23:17.890 --> 00:23:19.240
have a wetter than normal.

395
00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:22.000
We could have more storms. It could be just a

396
00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:23.559
lot of rain. We all need to go out and

397
00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:24.740
build arcs. I don't know.

398
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:25.900
But, I mean.

399
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.579
Be prepared. The moral of the story is every day

400
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.799
you live in North Texas, especially in North Texas, be prepared.

401
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.859
Know how your home is sitting. Know how your roof looks.

402
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:39.420
Know how your windows are working. Know if your doors

403
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:41.519
have holes in them. I mean, just know your home.

404
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:42.019
Know your home.

405
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:42.779
Call us out.

406
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:44.039
We want to educate you.

407
00:23:44.539 --> 00:23:46.740
We will come around, walk you around, show you things

408
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:48.240
that you should know, and then we can help you

409
00:23:48.309 --> 00:23:49.470
with getting them taken care of.

410
00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:53.589
And no pressure, all education. And Daniel and his fine

411
00:23:53.630 --> 00:23:56.430
team at Cook DFW will take care of you, the homeowner.

412
00:23:57.049 --> 00:23:59.519
With very, very gentle hands. I know because I've been

413
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:05.160
in them. 833-COOK-DFW. That sound bad? Sounded bad. 833-COOK-DFW. Get

414
00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:13.799
that scheduled today. The website, cookdfw.com. In those break rooms,

415
00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:17.640
if you had something good coming in, the mass email

416
00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:21.279
would go out. and everyone showed up in the blink

417
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.069
of an eye. It was like Doctor Strange with the

418
00:24:25.130 --> 00:24:29.309
sparkle circles in Endgame. Everyone just showed up at the

419
00:24:29.410 --> 00:24:32.890
same frickin' time. It was like Food Avengers assemble in

420
00:24:32.910 --> 00:24:33.490
the break room.

421
00:24:33.589 --> 00:24:38.900
People you couldn't find with a scout team any other

422
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:40.700
time of the day, but when food got to the

423
00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:43.500
break room, appeared, like you said, yeah.

424
00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:44.720
Like.

425
00:24:46.210 --> 00:24:49.380
The end scene in Endgame where all the portals open

426
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:51.160
up and they all rush in.

427
00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:53.640
And it really was like you're looking around at these

428
00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:56.279
people you haven't seen in months and you're saying, Hargett,

429
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:04.089
I thought you died. Uh-huh. And he's just back. It's like, oh,

430
00:25:04.109 --> 00:25:06.839
it's a bluebell ice cream party. Everybody shows up.

431
00:25:08.109 --> 00:25:08.289
But.

432
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:11.460
And then just regular break room stuff, though. It's like

433
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.170
you've got, like, if you're trying to eat healthy or whatever,

434
00:25:15.009 --> 00:25:16.930
you've got your food, you're bringing your lunch because you're

435
00:25:16.950 --> 00:25:19.089
working in radio or you work in a corporate job,

436
00:25:19.109 --> 00:25:21.710
you haven't had a raise in years, so maybe you're

437
00:25:21.750 --> 00:25:24.250
bringing your lunch. You're trying to eat healthy or save money.

438
00:25:24.269 --> 00:25:27.079
You bring your food to work and then some a-hole

439
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:31.460
eats it. Which is exactly the story that Trey has

440
00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:32.019
for us today.

441
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.440
So, yeah, this woman, she posted on Reddit. Evidently, it's

442
00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:39.490
since been taken down, but She said, you know, am I...

443
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:44.779
This was an am I the asshole section. Said she

444
00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:46.420
works at a fairly large company, but they have their

445
00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:50.359
own little, you know, refrigerator. And said never had a

446
00:25:50.380 --> 00:25:55.740
problem with people taking my stuff until there was like

447
00:25:55.769 --> 00:25:58.869
a merger and like these 10 people came in to

448
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:05.309
their group. And all of a sudden, things started disappearing.

449
00:26:05.390 --> 00:26:10.490
And so one day... one lady told her, oh, hey,

450
00:26:10.569 --> 00:26:18.210
I saw so-and-so eating your strawberry jam. And she goes, oh.

451
00:26:19.029 --> 00:26:22.930
She goes, oh, that's a shame. And the woman goes, well,

452
00:26:22.950 --> 00:26:23.890
just because you're stealing your food?

453
00:26:23.910 --> 00:26:24.529
She goes, no.

454
00:26:24.650 --> 00:26:27.279
She goes, well, I double dip and I have herpes.

455
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:32.579
I think she's sorry. She goes, I get cold sores

456
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:33.099
all the time.

457
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:34.839
Yeah, you got herpes.

458
00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:35.400
Right.

459
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:35.779
Yeah.

460
00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:41.420
And She basically was asking, and obviously that got around,

461
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:43.440
and she was like, what am I to ask? She goes,

462
00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:46.690
I really don't have cold sores, but I wanted it

463
00:26:46.710 --> 00:26:49.289
to stop. And I'm like, hey, bravo to you. How

464
00:26:49.309 --> 00:26:50.309
did we never think of that?

465
00:26:52.349 --> 00:26:59.069
That is awesome. I love that. Good on her.

466
00:27:00.450 --> 00:27:01.430
How did we never think of that?

467
00:27:03.410 --> 00:27:04.329
I don't know.

468
00:27:04.450 --> 00:27:06.529
I did it with office supplies. I don't know why

469
00:27:06.549 --> 00:27:09.539
I never thought about that. I mean, obviously not the

470
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:11.700
herpes thing. You just write this as a left-handed thing

471
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:13.170
on something and nobody will ever touch it.

472
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:14.400
That is true.

473
00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:17.099
That is absolutely true. I labeled all my stuff left-handed.

474
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:21.079
Left-handed scissors, left-handed pens, left-handed stapler. I'd leave it out

475
00:27:21.099 --> 00:27:25.640
on my desk. Nobody would ever touch it. I don't

476
00:27:25.660 --> 00:27:28.480
typically do this, but I can't resist. Is that how

477
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:31.440
Ben and Skin stay employed? They just put left-handed on

478
00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:31.839
their show?

479
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:34.859
Left-handed microphone.

480
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:40.420
Left-handed microphone. We can't. No, that's just too much. That's

481
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:40.980
too much trouble.

482
00:27:41.259 --> 00:27:42.519
Left-handed content.

483
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:50.180
I do love this, though, in the chat. People stealing

484
00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:53.369
your food out of the break room, right? Double AJ

485
00:27:53.430 --> 00:27:55.730
in the chat says, I never had this problem. It

486
00:27:55.750 --> 00:27:58.609
sounds like something that would be easily resolved with a claymore.

487
00:28:05.380 --> 00:28:15.980
Is that pie? Oh, good lord. I take no issue

488
00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:18.859
with how she handled that. I think you absolutely, you know,

489
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:23.690
if someone takes something that is not theirs, stealing, They

490
00:28:23.730 --> 00:28:28.029
need to be taught a lesson. That simple. I remember

491
00:28:28.150 --> 00:28:30.410
one time in the radio station break room, I had these,

492
00:28:30.750 --> 00:28:34.509
the Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast sandwiches, right? Because I'm trying

493
00:28:34.529 --> 00:28:37.190
to eat well. It's not the normal Jimmy Dean breakfast

494
00:28:37.210 --> 00:28:41.160
sandwiches in the freezer. It's the light ones. And I

495
00:28:41.180 --> 00:28:43.420
have my name on them and everything. So everyone knows

496
00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:49.900
they're mine. I go in one morning to get my

497
00:28:49.940 --> 00:28:56.369
breakfast sandwich for breakfast. And the box is empty. The

498
00:28:56.430 --> 00:29:01.349
box is left in the freezer. Empty. Just to add

499
00:29:01.410 --> 00:29:05.900
insult to injury. Except for the note. On the inside

500
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:11.140
of the box. Hey, Dan, I'm sorry. I was starving

501
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:16.230
last night. And this was the only thing in here. Torres.

502
00:29:19.970 --> 00:29:22.880
And I was immediately... I was immediately okay with it

503
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:27.880
because I knew he got paid dirt and he was

504
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.829
desperate and he left a note. So on one hand,

505
00:29:33.930 --> 00:29:36.289
I was pissed because now I had to figure out

506
00:29:36.349 --> 00:29:40.160
my breakfast, but I gave him credit for leaving. a

507
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:43.059
note and I knew that he did it out of

508
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.980
desperation and I totally understood it. I was like, you

509
00:29:46.019 --> 00:29:49.299
know what? That's the only choice he had. That's fine.

510
00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:52.509
Good for him leaving the note. So I was, I

511
00:29:52.549 --> 00:29:55.230
was mostly fine with it. And I thought it was

512
00:29:55.269 --> 00:29:58.269
hysterical because he left such a sad note and he

513
00:29:58.329 --> 00:30:00.170
signed his name to it, but he left it in

514
00:30:00.230 --> 00:30:02.230
the box. It's like I told him, it's like, dude,

515
00:30:02.289 --> 00:30:05.430
you could have just sent a text message giving me

516
00:30:05.470 --> 00:30:07.319
the heads up. He's like, well, I didn't think about

517
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:08.839
that because it was late. He was doing like a

518
00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:10.839
late night shift. I think that was when we were

519
00:30:10.859 --> 00:30:11.400
doing mornings.

520
00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:14.440
Yeah, but that had been Ted McKay. You probably would

521
00:30:14.460 --> 00:30:15.480
have popped a cap in his ass.

522
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:21.470
No, Ted McKay could do whatever he wanted. Oh, had

523
00:30:21.549 --> 00:30:23.910
Torres taken the food from Ted McKay? No.

524
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:26.740
I had Ted McKay taking it from you. What about Domino?

525
00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:33.990
Oh, I'd have chucked him off the roof. Along with

526
00:30:34.009 --> 00:30:40.930
his leather vest. Yeah, no, there are some people that

527
00:30:40.950 --> 00:30:43.160
would have done it. Note or not, you're going off

528
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:43.539
the roof.

529
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.880
The random burrito eater.

530
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:48.599
There was one day, I'm not sure if you were

531
00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:51.980
still there when this happened, but God, what's his name?

532
00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:56.329
He did He was sort of a side character. He

533
00:30:56.349 --> 00:30:59.509
did traffic on the ticket for a while. His name

534
00:30:59.630 --> 00:31:06.890
started with a D. He worked for TTN. Doyle. Doyle King.

535
00:31:08.390 --> 00:31:12.130
I had an issue with Doyle King. I'm trying to

536
00:31:12.150 --> 00:31:14.390
remember the specifics of it, but one day in the

537
00:31:14.430 --> 00:31:18.279
break room, he had come in and he had thrown

538
00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:22.579
all the food in the break room away. He took

539
00:31:22.619 --> 00:31:27.390
it upon himself to clean the break room. Which would

540
00:31:27.410 --> 00:31:30.319
have been nice had that stuff been there for a

541
00:31:30.380 --> 00:31:35.680
really long time. But see, what had happened was Bluebell

542
00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:39.480
had come in with their new flavor for us to try.

543
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:42.019
And for us, I mean those of us on the show.

544
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:48.289
We did it separately so Dr. Strange's sparkle circles wouldn't

545
00:31:48.349 --> 00:31:50.710
show up and everyone rushes it and then we can't

546
00:31:50.750 --> 00:31:54.190
taste what we're supposed to taste, right? So we did

547
00:31:54.210 --> 00:31:56.910
it in phases. Phase one, Those of us on the

548
00:31:56.970 --> 00:32:01.130
show tried the ice cream. Phase two, Golden Perry, the

549
00:32:01.210 --> 00:32:05.150
executive assistant for iHeartDFW, would send out the mass email

550
00:32:05.250 --> 00:32:08.569
inviting everyone to the break room to enjoy the ice

551
00:32:08.609 --> 00:32:14.220
cream party from Blue Bell. In that time, Doyle had

552
00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:16.579
gone to the break room and thrown all of it

553
00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:21.700
in the trash. So then all these people show up

554
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.069
and there's no ice cream. And I went on a

555
00:32:25.109 --> 00:32:29.809
war path. Like, who did this? And then they said

556
00:32:29.849 --> 00:32:33.390
it was Doyle King. And I went into TTWN's offices

557
00:32:34.109 --> 00:32:37.329
like I was on SWAT. Like, I'm kicking in their

558
00:32:37.369 --> 00:32:45.109
dorm like, where's Doyle? Where is this Jack? And I

559
00:32:45.130 --> 00:32:46.829
don't think he was there or something like that. So

560
00:32:46.869 --> 00:32:48.450
I don't even think I ever got a chance to

561
00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:52.779
actually visually confront him. And because of that, I took

562
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:56.240
his photo from his ID badge and I printed it off.

563
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.599
And I posted it around the break room. And then

564
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.740
I posted it around the entire radio station offices saying,

565
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:10.839
do not feed this man. This man gets nothing. It

566
00:33:10.859 --> 00:33:13.240
may have been something else on there, but that's the

567
00:33:13.289 --> 00:33:18.069
general gist of it. He was persona non grata in

568
00:33:18.109 --> 00:33:18.730
the tree house.

569
00:33:19.230 --> 00:33:21.970
Wasn't there also an ice cream party where he was

570
00:33:22.029 --> 00:33:23.269
specifically not invited?

571
00:33:23.289 --> 00:33:25.630
Thank you for that reminder, Jerry.

572
00:33:25.690 --> 00:33:25.910
Yes.

573
00:33:26.529 --> 00:33:30.559
And in honor of Mr. Doyle King, we threw a

574
00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:35.519
second ice cream party for everybody except for Doyle King.

575
00:33:37.299 --> 00:33:39.960
And that was a mass email I sent out. That

576
00:33:40.019 --> 00:33:47.230
was how petty I went on that MF. Man, it

577
00:33:47.250 --> 00:33:51.390
felt good. How dare you throw away God's greatest ice

578
00:33:51.430 --> 00:33:55.470
cream gift to this planet. and the thing is he

579
00:33:55.529 --> 00:33:58.630
did it out of spite because he was so mad

580
00:33:58.670 --> 00:34:01.109
at people not cleaning up in the break room he

581
00:34:01.150 --> 00:34:02.880
just thought we all left it and just threw it

582
00:34:02.930 --> 00:34:05.279
away just made a huge assumption despite the fact that

583
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:07.940
my office is right next to the break room he

584
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.199
could have just come and said hey what are you

585
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.159
doing and that I could have told him people are

586
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.039
coming don't touch it but instead he was spiteful about

587
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:16.860
it and then I double spited him back.

588
00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:23.360
So you were the Kendrick Lamar at Bluebell he was No,

589
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:23.699
you were.

590
00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:26.599
I don't get it.

591
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:28.880
Never mind.

592
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:30.000
Oh, wait.

593
00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:30.300
Sorry.

594
00:34:30.340 --> 00:34:31.760
Yes. Now I get it. Yes, I was.

595
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:33.300
Yes. Mm-hmm.

596
00:34:33.590 --> 00:34:40.829
Mm-hmm. They ain't like us. I had a different person

597
00:34:40.849 --> 00:34:41.710
in my head for some reason.

598
00:34:42.150 --> 00:34:42.349
All right.

599
00:34:42.690 --> 00:34:45.510
So that's the level of my pettiness. That was probably

600
00:34:45.530 --> 00:34:50.570
the biggest one in radio. So still to this day,

601
00:34:50.590 --> 00:34:52.349
F you, Doyle King, and you're throwing away of stuff.

602
00:34:53.769 --> 00:34:55.489
He never came and talked to me about it either.

603
00:34:57.769 --> 00:35:01.170
Let's move on. Today is, for those that are hearing

604
00:35:01.210 --> 00:35:03.610
this on the regular audio version of the Treehouse Show,

605
00:35:03.670 --> 00:35:08.880
today is Thursday, September 3rd, 2026. Let's celebrate today with

606
00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:09.800
some birthdays.

607
00:35:11.300 --> 00:35:20.469
One second.

608
00:35:21.010 --> 00:35:22.510
Hang on, I got to scroll down to my birthdays.

609
00:35:26.070 --> 00:35:26.429
All right.

610
00:35:27.949 --> 00:35:31.469
Still scrolling, still scrolling. Jesus, the prep service is hot today. Oh, wait,

611
00:35:31.489 --> 00:35:34.889
that's today's birthdays. Hang on. Stall for a second. We're

612
00:35:34.909 --> 00:35:37.289
doing the live stream and I need to do tomorrow's birthdays.

613
00:35:37.630 --> 00:35:42.119
You know, typically when one segues to another segment, they

614
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:43.320
have said segment ready.

615
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:48.219
Well, see, I thought I did, but then I didn't.

616
00:35:49.219 --> 00:35:50.920
So that's what happened.

617
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.949
I mean, we have people watching the show that expect

618
00:35:54.989 --> 00:35:55.750
us to be slick.

619
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:05.320
Oh, they haven't been around very long. That right there

620
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:07.840
is up there with Jerry saying, have fun in Mordor.

621
00:36:11.389 --> 00:36:12.510
All right, hang on.

622
00:36:18.369 --> 00:36:18.710
Okay.

623
00:36:19.730 --> 00:36:23.019
Now it's time for birthdays here inside the treehouse. Thursday.

624
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:23.480
Thursday.

625
00:36:24.780 --> 00:36:31.119
September 3rd 2026 despite his best efforts charlie sheen is

626
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:36.199
61 today that's impressive at a certain point you just

627
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:37.760
kind of got to tip your hat and be like

628
00:36:37.929 --> 00:36:38.929
i'm good on you.

629
00:36:39.289 --> 00:36:43.210
Did anyone anyone watch the documentary he came out with

630
00:36:43.409 --> 00:36:44.449
a year or two ago.

631
00:36:46.150 --> 00:36:49.219
I did not i just i i didn't care I

632
00:36:49.260 --> 00:36:53.389
got sucked into the whole tiger blood nonsense when he

633
00:36:53.409 --> 00:36:57.070
was going through that drug fuel phase. We all went

634
00:36:57.150 --> 00:37:00.510
to American Airlines Center to see the traveling circus that

635
00:37:00.590 --> 00:37:04.889
was that show. And I don't even think we stayed, what, 30,

636
00:37:04.889 --> 00:37:06.599
45 minutes? We were like, this is dumb. We're leaving.

637
00:37:08.820 --> 00:37:12.579
But yeah, I mean, it's such a weird thing because

638
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:17.300
you're talking about someone who is extremely talented. from an

639
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:21.139
amazing Hollywood family, his dad, Martin Sheen. He's done some

640
00:37:21.179 --> 00:37:28.610
of my favorite projects in Hollywood history. Garbage Man. Minute Work, Trey.

641
00:37:28.619 --> 00:37:29.269
Minute Work, sorry.

642
00:37:30.369 --> 00:37:31.829
Minute Work is a phenomenal movie.

643
00:37:32.889 --> 00:37:33.869
I don't disagree with you there.

644
00:37:34.449 --> 00:37:36.110
And that is a trash heap I will die on.

645
00:37:38.469 --> 00:37:40.389
He also was in one of the greatest baseball movies

646
00:37:40.429 --> 00:37:41.570
of all time, Major League.

647
00:37:44.349 --> 00:37:44.789
Young Guns.

648
00:37:45.949 --> 00:37:46.530
Young Guns.

649
00:37:48.030 --> 00:37:50.690
And, I mean, I never really watched it, but his sitcom,

650
00:37:51.889 --> 00:37:56.650
Two and a Half Men, obviously incredibly popular. I mean,

651
00:37:56.670 --> 00:38:00.260
he pissed, talking about pissing away, you know, a run.

652
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:04.199
And a fortune. The, I'm actually surprised because I would

653
00:38:04.219 --> 00:38:05.579
have figured Two and a Half Men would have been

654
00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:07.599
like right up your alley, Trey. You might, you should

655
00:38:07.619 --> 00:38:10.099
watch it. It's very good. It's crass in a lot

656
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:14.590
of areas, which, which we like a lot. I.

657
00:38:14.929 --> 00:38:19.639
It's not a, Not like a decision I made to

658
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.480
not watch it. I just have never really taken the

659
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.659
time to watch it. Yeah, I might give it a whirl.

660
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.099
So I'll give you the quick premise of the show.

661
00:38:28.340 --> 00:38:34.489
Charlie Sheen's character lives in L.A. He's a womanizing jingle writer.

662
00:38:35.550 --> 00:38:40.190
And his desperate chiropractor brother and kid come to live

663
00:38:40.230 --> 00:38:48.239
with him. It's pretty good. Then he ruined it. and then, uh,

664
00:38:48.340 --> 00:38:50.969
and then he was able to have a semi successful

665
00:38:51.050 --> 00:38:55.449
followup with anger management. Uh, I think that was on FX. Uh,

666
00:38:56.090 --> 00:38:58.389
but yeah, this is, it's interesting. You see a different

667
00:38:58.449 --> 00:39:00.590
careers are up, down, up, down, up, down. And Charlie

668
00:39:00.610 --> 00:39:02.690
Sheens is obviously one of those. And then earlier in

669
00:39:02.730 --> 00:39:04.639
his career, also one of the greatest war movies of

670
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:08.480
all time, platoon, and then opposite Michael Douglas and wall street.

671
00:39:10.539 --> 00:39:12.820
That to me, by the way, is I think probably

672
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:16.199
the greatest example of what the eighties were like.

673
00:39:16.219 --> 00:39:20.260
Uh, Well, what are the other great 80s movies? Navy Seals.

674
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:26.030
Oh, amen, brother. Oh, I love that movie. That is

675
00:39:26.130 --> 00:39:26.670
so good.

676
00:39:27.429 --> 00:39:29.369
Trust me with your money and your life, not your wife.

677
00:39:35.449 --> 00:39:37.949
I'm pretty sure that the actual Navy SEALs probably have

678
00:39:37.989 --> 00:39:43.699
that stapled to a wall somewhere. Garrett Hedlund is 42 today.

679
00:39:45.530 --> 00:39:48.679
He was one of the running backs in Friday Night Lights.

680
00:39:48.860 --> 00:39:53.000
He was in Tron Legacy, Four Brothers, and he was

681
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:54.679
in Country Song. This is one of those guys, if

682
00:39:54.699 --> 00:39:57.380
you don't recognize his name and his face immediately, when

683
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:01.110
you see his face, you'll be like, oh, okay. If

684
00:40:01.130 --> 00:40:04.010
you saw the Friday Night Lights movie, he was the

685
00:40:04.050 --> 00:40:06.869
kid that played Tim McGraw's son.

686
00:40:08.349 --> 00:40:08.570
Okay.

687
00:40:12.610 --> 00:40:16.110
Costas Mandalore is 61. He's best known as Mark Hoffman

688
00:40:16.150 --> 00:40:18.860
in the Saw franchise, but some of us know him

689
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.880
also as the guy who was almost Joey in Friends.

690
00:40:24.699 --> 00:40:27.000
If you remember in one of the episodes of Friends

691
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.219
where Joey decides to go in for an experiment with

692
00:40:30.260 --> 00:40:32.550
a twin, he grabs one of these other actors at

693
00:40:32.610 --> 00:40:34.269
one of his auditions that looks like him, and it

694
00:40:34.289 --> 00:40:37.059
was Costas Mandalore. The reason why they had him on

695
00:40:37.099 --> 00:40:39.260
their radar for Friends is because this was a guy

696
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:41.059
that I think had the role or was up for

697
00:40:41.099 --> 00:40:48.469
it alongside Matt LeBlanc. Matt LeBlanc got the role. His

698
00:40:48.530 --> 00:40:52.030
career and life took off. Costas Mandalore, eh, not as much.

699
00:40:52.070 --> 00:40:53.670
But then he ended up in the Saw franchise, so

700
00:40:53.690 --> 00:40:59.860
it wasn't totally terrible. Kaia Gerber is 25. She, in

701
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.980
her own right, is a model and actress, partly because

702
00:41:03.019 --> 00:41:05.460
she is the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber.

703
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:08.980
Hollywood looks so much like her mom.

704
00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:10.039
It's unbelievable.

705
00:41:10.659 --> 00:41:12.269
I think I saw a video of her getting out

706
00:41:12.289 --> 00:41:14.750
of a car on social media last night. And I

707
00:41:14.789 --> 00:41:16.789
genuinely thought it was Cindy Crawford. I was like, Oh

708
00:41:16.809 --> 00:41:18.849
my God, Cindy Crawford looks amazing. It was like, Oh,

709
00:41:18.869 --> 00:41:20.570
Cindy Crawford's daughter is like, Oh, okay.

710
00:41:20.909 --> 00:41:23.090
And Cindy Crawford does still look amazing.

711
00:41:24.659 --> 00:41:26.719
They could easily put her in front of a Pepsi

712
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:28.599
machine again and Pepsi sales will go up.

713
00:41:29.219 --> 00:41:32.300
Yeah. She, we were talking about Salma Hayek yesterday. Cindy

714
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:35.739
Crawford's another one where, And she's in her 60s now.

715
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:42.719
She still looks fantastic. Clearly, that skin cream she's been

716
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.559
pimping for years works. Yep.

717
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:48.920
Or it doesn't, and it's just because it's going on

718
00:41:49.059 --> 00:41:51.860
freaking Cindy Crawford. Meanwhile, the skin cream is like, man,

719
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:56.500
that really paid off, guys. Good job. Meanwhile, the ones

720
00:41:56.539 --> 00:41:59.360
that were doing stuff with Kathy Ireland, like, ooh, I

721
00:41:59.380 --> 00:42:02.460
think that was a myth. Yeah. It's a good thing

722
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:11.460
we put her face on furniture. That's actually it for

723
00:42:11.500 --> 00:42:13.460
some of the big birthdays. Oh, actually, there are actually

724
00:42:13.500 --> 00:42:17.699
a couple of interesting birthdays here in the sports world.

725
00:42:17.739 --> 00:42:22.460
Jenny Finch, Olympic softball gold medalist, is 46. Sean White

726
00:42:23.940 --> 00:42:28.739
turns 40. Three-time Olympic snowboarding gold medalist, also known as

727
00:42:28.780 --> 00:42:33.070
the Flying Tomato. He turns 40 today. Good for him.

728
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:39.909
as I do one more scan, and Damon Stoudemire, just

729
00:42:39.929 --> 00:42:42.949
for the hell of it, Damon Stoudemire is 53 today,

730
00:42:43.070 --> 00:42:44.989
and that just, for some reason, makes me feel old.

731
00:42:45.050 --> 00:42:48.010
It's like, how is Damon Stoudemire 53?

732
00:42:48.010 --> 00:42:48.269
Damn.

733
00:42:49.170 --> 00:42:52.190
Former NBA Rookie of the Year, nicknamed Mighty Mouse.

734
00:42:54.070 --> 00:42:55.170
Ah, yeah.

735
00:42:56.849 --> 00:43:02.409
Okay, speaking of sports, a pair of former Dallas Cowboys

736
00:43:02.449 --> 00:43:05.090
have made news, not because of anything good, but all

737
00:43:05.130 --> 00:43:08.989
because of things bad. So Tony Romo was arrested for

738
00:43:09.610 --> 00:43:15.670
operating while intoxicated a while back. And he initially denied

739
00:43:15.730 --> 00:43:19.190
any wrongdoing, heavily denied it in the body cam video.

740
00:43:19.730 --> 00:43:21.670
And then when more body cam video came out of

741
00:43:21.730 --> 00:43:25.519
him doing stretches in the garage for his roadside sobriety testing,

742
00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:31.719
we all thought, oh, that man's going to jail. And

743
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:39.429
so he pled no contest to his operating while intoxicated

744
00:43:39.690 --> 00:43:45.269
charge in Wisconsin, which was probably for the best. His

745
00:43:45.329 --> 00:43:48.610
attorneys probably said, Tony, we watched that tape and we

746
00:43:48.650 --> 00:43:51.849
think it's best that you plead no contest. And so

747
00:43:51.889 --> 00:43:54.030
he did. But he also did the other smart thing,

748
00:43:54.150 --> 00:43:57.539
and that is he made sure to post a long

749
00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:01.829
missive on social media talking about the reason why. he

750
00:44:01.869 --> 00:44:05.280
was drinking that day. And that is because of multiple

751
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:08.800
back surgeries from his NFL days. He had gained an

752
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:12.360
addiction to pain pills and to help get off the

753
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:17.139
pain pill addiction. He overcompensated with alcohol, something Trey knows

754
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.210
all too well, being sober for 10 years. These are

755
00:44:20.250 --> 00:44:23.170
things I'm sure you hear about in Alcoholics Anonymous all

756
00:44:23.190 --> 00:44:23.530
the time.

757
00:44:25.110 --> 00:44:26.030
Yeah.

758
00:44:26.809 --> 00:44:33.179
That being said, that being said, uh, problems do not

759
00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:37.019
equal excuses. He is taking responsibility for it.

760
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:43.070
It's funny. Tiger Woods just pled out his DUI this morning.

761
00:44:44.849 --> 00:44:49.150
Talk about someone who is... You can tell back surgeries

762
00:44:49.170 --> 00:44:49.829
have wrecked him.

763
00:44:51.250 --> 00:44:54.010
The painkill thing, like you were about to say, that

764
00:44:54.889 --> 00:44:58.159
is a serious blight on this country. The medical industry,

765
00:44:58.420 --> 00:45:03.449
health insurance, and the pain pill, the prescription first mentality.

766
00:45:04.030 --> 00:45:07.409
It's dangerous. And as you can see, it leads to

767
00:45:07.489 --> 00:45:13.610
other problems in addition to its own problem. Did you

768
00:45:13.630 --> 00:45:15.510
guys read Tony's statement?

769
00:45:17.690 --> 00:45:18.110
I did not.

770
00:45:19.489 --> 00:45:22.570
It's really long. I won't bore you with all the details,

771
00:45:22.630 --> 00:45:26.329
but basically he takes responsibility, says, hey, look, playing football hurts.

772
00:45:26.949 --> 00:45:29.170
And I took pills and then I tried to stop

773
00:45:29.190 --> 00:45:31.429
taking the pills. So I drank some. And now I'm

774
00:45:31.469 --> 00:45:34.329
working with a team of doctors to get me the

775
00:45:34.349 --> 00:45:36.190
help I need. Thank you very much, Tony Romo.

776
00:45:36.929 --> 00:45:42.449
Well, the other thing about that is which. His other passion,

777
00:45:42.469 --> 00:45:44.369
which is golf, not good for the back either.

778
00:45:47.969 --> 00:45:50.809
Look, it's been like three or four years since I've

779
00:45:50.849 --> 00:45:56.900
gone to Topgolf because of a back issue. And I

780
00:45:56.940 --> 00:45:59.260
didn't play quarterback in the NFL for as long as

781
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:03.519
he did. Like, I'm a little stiff getting out of

782
00:46:03.579 --> 00:46:06.340
bed in the morning, but I mean, I wouldn't even

783
00:46:06.409 --> 00:46:08.969
just pick up a sand wedge at Topgolf because my

784
00:46:09.010 --> 00:46:11.329
lower back was killing me so much a few years ago.

785
00:46:11.690 --> 00:46:14.150
I can't imagine what it takes to actually play golf

786
00:46:14.190 --> 00:46:16.730
at a high level that he does in order to

787
00:46:16.809 --> 00:46:20.280
get to your baseline to take the pain pills to

788
00:46:20.300 --> 00:46:23.559
be able to swing like that. So I get it.

789
00:46:24.070 --> 00:46:26.050
I hope he gets the help that he needs, and

790
00:46:26.110 --> 00:46:29.320
I think he will. That being said, he's not the

791
00:46:29.380 --> 00:46:34.639
only former Dallas Cowboy making headlines in bad ways. Emmitt Smith,

792
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:39.880
NFL legend, Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor member, all-time leading

793
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:44.340
rusher in the NFL, has been implicated in a Ponzi scheme. Oh, no.

794
00:46:46.829 --> 00:46:50.190
This one fascinates me because the first thought you have is,

795
00:46:51.329 --> 00:46:54.739
you shouldn't need money, dude. Why are you doing a

796
00:46:54.780 --> 00:46:57.619
Ponzi scheme? And then when you get a little more

797
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.579
of the details on it, you start to think, well,

798
00:47:00.820 --> 00:47:04.840
maybe it's not so much him directly. It might be

799
00:47:04.980 --> 00:47:12.849
an association type of a thing. So there's a I'm

800
00:47:12.869 --> 00:47:14.130
trying to stall here. I'm trying to pull up the

801
00:47:14.170 --> 00:47:18.110
link here. He was implicated in like a two and

802
00:47:18.130 --> 00:47:23.250
a half or three million dollar Ponzi scheme that I

803
00:47:23.309 --> 00:47:26.949
believe they're saying they were using him as an endorser

804
00:47:26.969 --> 00:47:31.659
slash spokesperson to then use to get others to join

805
00:47:31.820 --> 00:47:36.920
into the scheme. Right. So now this is not a

806
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:42.380
criminal thing. This is purely a civil deal right now. Yes, Trey.

807
00:47:43.059 --> 00:47:47.380
I honestly, as far as Ponzi schemes go, you say

808
00:47:47.420 --> 00:47:51.949
two and a half, three million. That's really nothing. Mm hmm.

809
00:47:52.369 --> 00:47:52.670
I know.

810
00:47:52.809 --> 00:47:55.659
I'm used to the Bernie Madoff stuff. If you're not

811
00:47:55.699 --> 00:48:01.019
pushing hundreds of millions of dollars, is it really a

812
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:03.320
Ponzi scheme? Or is it just like, I'm just trying

813
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:04.260
some pyramid scheme?

814
00:48:04.889 --> 00:48:07.230
Yeah, you're Amway. Exactly.

815
00:48:10.170 --> 00:48:18.679
Who wants pampered chef? But yeah, I mean... I'm always

816
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:21.679
fascinated when former athletes who made lots of money in

817
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:28.159
their careers get implicated in certain things that's money-related. Because

818
00:48:28.219 --> 00:48:32.039
those of us who never had that level of fame, success,

819
00:48:32.179 --> 00:48:35.670
and money, we're like, why would you do something so

820
00:48:36.710 --> 00:48:38.409
seemingly stupid with it?

821
00:48:42.349 --> 00:48:44.610
Now, granted, he did not make the money that they

822
00:48:44.630 --> 00:48:48.579
do now, but he still... you feel like should have

823
00:48:48.599 --> 00:48:54.699
been well off. And, and he's, I can't, I can't

824
00:48:54.739 --> 00:48:57.409
see him actually taking part in a Ponzi scheme, but

825
00:48:57.449 --> 00:49:00.789
I can certainly see him like so many other celebrities, athletes, whatever,

826
00:49:01.230 --> 00:49:05.210
that their entourage, you know, put him in the middle

827
00:49:05.250 --> 00:49:06.909
of something that he didn't really know what he was

828
00:49:06.949 --> 00:49:07.469
getting into.

829
00:49:08.170 --> 00:49:11.659
Yeah. Emmett Smith is accused of cheating a native American

830
00:49:11.699 --> 00:49:14.150
investor out of two and a half million dollars. He

831
00:49:14.210 --> 00:49:17.960
allegedly used money meant to fund a Texas solar project

832
00:49:18.429 --> 00:49:21.900
to instead pay back a company that had previously invested

833
00:49:22.099 --> 00:49:26.360
in his ventures. The lawsuit filed Monday in Delaware's Chancery

834
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:32.110
Court from Kittewa LLC, the tribally owned investment and economic

835
00:49:32.150 --> 00:49:34.869
development arm of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. It

836
00:49:34.909 --> 00:49:38.090
claims the former Cowboys running back is longtime business partner

837
00:49:38.130 --> 00:49:42.380
David Mosley. and their commercial real estate company, 413 Solutions, Inc.,

838
00:49:42.489 --> 00:49:47.110
convinced Kitawa to provide a $ 2. 5 million loan for the

839
00:49:47.139 --> 00:49:51.539
purported solar project. However, Kitawa says it has not received

840
00:49:51.579 --> 00:49:53.739
a penny despite the loan being more than two years

841
00:49:53.800 --> 00:50:00.440
past due and numerous requests for repayment. So again, this

842
00:50:00.460 --> 00:50:02.739
is a civil thing. It's a lawsuit. He's not being

843
00:50:02.780 --> 00:50:09.320
implicated criminally in this. But, you know, Emmett Smith, Ponzi scheme, $ 2. 5 million.

844
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:10.739
It does make a lot of headlines.

845
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:14.719
I mean, is it a Ponzi scheme or just a

846
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:15.539
bad investment?

847
00:50:15.659 --> 00:50:19.480
That's what it sounds like to me, yeah. That's a

848
00:50:19.500 --> 00:50:25.250
fair question. Speaking of bad decisions, I think it's probably

849
00:50:25.570 --> 00:50:28.929
in your best interest, everyone, not just you, Trey, not

850
00:50:28.949 --> 00:50:32.150
just you, Jerry, not to do business with someone called

851
00:50:32.269 --> 00:50:37.650
Crooked Jess. if you're going into any sort of a

852
00:50:37.789 --> 00:50:40.909
deal and the person you're going into that deal with

853
00:50:40.989 --> 00:50:44.389
is known as crooked Jess, anything you do, I feel

854
00:50:44.409 --> 00:50:46.110
like is, is kind of your fault here.

855
00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:54.019
Especially if, uh, where does crooked Jess reside?

856
00:50:54.739 --> 00:51:00.739
Florida. Yeah. I, I am. Yeah, a buy and bust

857
00:51:00.860 --> 00:51:05.320
operation went bust after Florida police entrusted Jessica Crooked Jess

858
00:51:05.500 --> 00:51:10.780
Straubel with $ 60 to score some crack cocaine. As an

859
00:51:10.820 --> 00:51:14.840
undercover officer watched, Crooked Jess walked over to a St.

860
00:51:14.889 --> 00:51:18.690
Petersburg residence that facilitates transactions for illicit narcotics and disappeared

861
00:51:18.710 --> 00:51:22.849
into the property's backyard. Surprisingly, Crooked Jess did not return

862
00:51:22.909 --> 00:51:28.449
with the crack. After an hour... The deputy concluded that

863
00:51:28.489 --> 00:51:31.590
Crooked Jess had no intentions of coming back to facilitate

864
00:51:31.630 --> 00:51:34.289
the transaction and had deprived me of my money for

865
00:51:34.329 --> 00:51:38.929
her own use. Come on, officer.

866
00:51:39.349 --> 00:51:44.309
Well, here's my... Okay, I understand they're doing an undercover sting,

867
00:51:44.349 --> 00:51:47.260
and we're just talking about $ 60, but it really doesn't

868
00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:52.679
look good on the police department that they lost the

869
00:51:52.739 --> 00:51:58.159
person that they gave the money to. for months. It

870
00:51:58.179 --> 00:52:01.739
took them months to track down Crooked Jess.

871
00:52:02.300 --> 00:52:05.780
How? How does it take that mug to track down

872
00:52:05.860 --> 00:52:06.519
Crooked Jess?

873
00:52:06.739 --> 00:52:09.119
When you see her mugshot, you would think, even though

874
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:11.440
it's Florida, she would stand out.

875
00:52:12.179 --> 00:52:13.590
A little bit, and I'm going to show you the

876
00:52:13.619 --> 00:52:17.190
mugshot here. Give me just a second. Here's this, and that,

877
00:52:17.730 --> 00:52:24.539
and here. Here's Crooked Jess. Okay, first of all, How

878
00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:28.380
do you have a hard time tracking that down? I

879
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:31.000
feel like it'd be easy to track her down because

880
00:52:31.420 --> 00:52:34.110
she would leave a wake of cracked and broken flock

881
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:35.260
cameras behind her.

882
00:52:38.550 --> 00:52:44.210
Yeah, I think just go to wherever the local meth

883
00:52:44.789 --> 00:52:47.230
park is. You're going to find Crooked Jets.

884
00:52:47.570 --> 00:52:48.909
The local meth park?

885
00:52:50.250 --> 00:52:53.289
I'm just assuming Florida, they've got, you know, meth crack parks.

886
00:52:53.780 --> 00:52:56.760
Look, it is interesting how the U.S. is developing. I mean,

887
00:52:56.860 --> 00:53:01.329
in our Super Plus episode, we're talking about California publicly

888
00:53:01.409 --> 00:53:08.949
funding jerk-off huts, and in Florida, they've got meth parks. Now,

889
00:53:08.989 --> 00:53:12.110
I will say this. Crooked Jess is not an attractive

890
00:53:12.530 --> 00:53:15.530
photo taker. She might be beautiful in real life. Sorry,

891
00:53:15.550 --> 00:53:18.469
I couldn't finish the sentence. This is obviously not a

892
00:53:18.510 --> 00:53:20.489
glamour shot of her. She didn't choose this. This is

893
00:53:20.550 --> 00:53:24.750
a mug shot. She may look completely different in the

894
00:53:24.789 --> 00:53:29.090
light of day. I don't know. But I do know, Trey,

895
00:53:29.659 --> 00:53:34.179
that you're a pretty good looking fella. And so when

896
00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:39.059
you updated your profile photo recently, I thought, oh, Trey

897
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:41.820
looks pretty good. He looks professional. He's wearing a polo.

898
00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:46.239
He has unveiled his new one person's treasure business. And

899
00:53:46.289 --> 00:53:48.969
he's got a new professional profile photo to go along

900
00:53:49.010 --> 00:53:52.429
with it. And then someone deep down in the comments

901
00:53:52.650 --> 00:53:55.179
couldn't help but say, Ooh.

902
00:53:56.360 --> 00:54:06.130
Yeah, that was, uh, they, uh, I forgot exactly what

903
00:54:06.150 --> 00:54:06.449
they said.

904
00:54:06.469 --> 00:54:07.650
It's Katie.

905
00:54:07.670 --> 00:54:09.010
Yeah. Katie Muck.

906
00:54:09.030 --> 00:54:09.230
Yeah.

907
00:54:09.269 --> 00:54:12.090
She goes, you know, you're better looking, you know, AI

908
00:54:12.130 --> 00:54:14.809
didn't do you justice. You need to take a better picture.

909
00:54:15.750 --> 00:54:20.230
Your skincare. I know your skincare routines better. Like, damn. No, I, I,

910
00:54:21.610 --> 00:54:23.309
Only thing I had AI do to that picture was

911
00:54:23.329 --> 00:54:28.050
take the background out. And like, you know, Katie, I

912
00:54:28.110 --> 00:54:29.829
am painfully well aware. I have aged a lot in

913
00:54:29.849 --> 00:54:33.829
the last six months. You know, sorrow does that to you,

914
00:54:34.309 --> 00:54:36.610
but didn't need you telling me that.

915
00:54:39.489 --> 00:54:43.360
To me, that's right up there with like, whenever someone says, sorry,

916
00:54:43.389 --> 00:54:47.920
if you find this offensive or sorry, sorry, if it's like, don't, don't,

917
00:54:47.980 --> 00:54:49.739
you're going to say it anyway. Don't apologize on the

918
00:54:49.780 --> 00:54:52.440
front end. But she didn't even. Did she say sorry

919
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:56.380
first or she just go like, oh, no, she.

920
00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:59.750
Didn't hear all. See if I can pull this up

921
00:54:59.809 --> 00:55:01.170
so I can show the class.

922
00:55:03.710 --> 00:55:05.969
I mean, she did. Everyone's everyone in the comments on

923
00:55:06.030 --> 00:55:10.409
Trey's announcement with his profile photo and his new business venture.

924
00:55:11.190 --> 00:55:12.429
And everyone's like, yeah, this.

925
00:55:12.369 --> 00:55:12.869
Is a great idea.

926
00:55:12.889 --> 00:55:14.409
I'm going to call you for this. And then out

927
00:55:14.449 --> 00:55:18.260
of nowhere, Katie slides into the comments, tags Trey. This

928
00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:20.989
is a fabulous idea and hope to be in contact soon.

929
00:55:21.869 --> 00:55:24.409
But this is a horrible picture of you, darling, because

930
00:55:24.590 --> 00:55:26.650
I know from everything else that you take very good

931
00:55:26.690 --> 00:55:37.940
care of your skin and this is not you. Man,

932
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:39.880
you just got bodied in the comments.

933
00:55:40.059 --> 00:55:44.119
Oh yeah. I was really, I don't take good pictures.

934
00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:46.199
And when I, so I took that picture and it was,

935
00:55:47.570 --> 00:55:52.269
I was fairly pleased with it. It was okay. Yeah. Katie.

936
00:55:52.869 --> 00:55:55.250
Katie from the top turnbuckle.

937
00:55:58.750 --> 00:56:01.010
We call this the humble elbow.

938
00:56:01.210 --> 00:56:05.550
Yeah. The elbow of age.

939
00:56:12.150 --> 00:56:15.070
That'd be a good episode title. Katie from the top turnbuckle.

940
00:56:17.349 --> 00:56:19.769
Thanks for hanging out with us today inside the treehouse,

941
00:56:19.849 --> 00:56:22.829
especially to our ultimate treehouse subscribers hanging out in the

942
00:56:22.869 --> 00:56:29.539
chat live. Double AJ's on fire this morning for Crooked

943
00:56:29.579 --> 00:56:32.820
Jess's mugshot. He says, Olin Mills couldn't find lighting soft

944
00:56:32.900 --> 00:56:33.460
enough for her.

945
00:56:34.300 --> 00:56:35.389
Are we talking about her or me?

946
00:56:39.510 --> 00:56:42.929
You know what? Good question. We'll see if you get

947
00:56:42.969 --> 00:56:45.559
bodied in the chat yet again. We'll see you next

948
00:56:45.619 --> 00:56:47.079
time right here.

949
00:56:50.380 --> 00:56:51.239
Oh, good luck, Diego.
