00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:33.200
It is time believe your worries outside and laugh with
2
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.159
us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Melly, along with Trade Trendhole,
3
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:46.960
Raj Sharma and Jerry Caldwell. Today is Bad Day, February
4
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:54.320
twenty first, twenty twenty five. Welcome inside the Treehouse. I
5
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:56.600
know it's going to be a good day, not just
6
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:01.759
because it's Friday, but because Tray an email with a
7
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:06.400
bunch of news stories. And as if that's not already
8
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:11.040
a good enough sign, it's an even better sign when
9
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.040
the email that Tray sends full of news stories. The
10
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:22.519
first news story talks about a plump beaver.
11
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:25.319
Gotta love a plump beaver?
12
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:31.799
You do? I mean, you're just so warm and cuddly.
13
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.920
I have purposely not read anything about this story. I
14
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:44.239
have only read one, two, three, four, five six seven
15
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.239
words into this story, and that was enough for me
16
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.040
to know this is what we will start the Friday show.
17
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:59.959
Inside the Treehouse with a plump beaver is Chicago's newest
18
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:01.239
viral sensation.
19
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.039
Wow, I'm excited.
20
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:16.919
Yeah, This from WGN in Chicago. Chicagoans love to name animals,
21
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.240
but a new furry friend captivating the city online is
22
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.319
without one environmental nonprofit Urban Rivers hopes to change that.
23
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.159
The organization is seeking the public's help in naming the
24
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.199
south Side semi aquatic rodent that has gone viral on
25
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.560
social media. The unnamed beaver lives along the Chicago River.
26
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:45.520
A beaver researcher named Sammy Clark joined WGN's Evening News
27
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.719
at six on Tuesday to discuss the contest and the
28
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.319
uptick of beaver sightings. Though many suspect the beaver to
29
00:02:52.319 --> 00:03:00.039
be pregnant, Clark consists that researchers are unsure if I
30
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:08.560
wrote it as male or female. According to Sammy, seeing
31
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.560
this individual looking so plump, especially this time of year,
32
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.199
gives us hope that it could be the female pregnant again.
33
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.120
While Urban Rivers official research began last September, Sammy says
34
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.520
the nonprofit has seen various beaver sightings since twenty twenty two,
35
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.759
but is the population growing too early to tell. Sandy says,
36
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.439
hopefully in a year or so, we'll have some published
37
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.919
information for people to follow along with. As for the
38
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:41.280
naming contest, some unique Chicago centric names are already catching on,
39
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.759
such as dam Ryan and Sigourney Beaver.
40
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:48.520
That one gets my vote, YEP.
41
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.800
Still Sammy Clark asks anyone interested to share their beaver
42
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:56.719
names on Urban Rivers, social media pages, and other digital platforms.
43
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.800
So there you have it. City of Chicago has a
44
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.120
plump beaver and it needs a name. Right now, I
45
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.360
really am wishing I had pre read this story.
46
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:20.279
Oh man, we can we can add a segment, you know,
47
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.439
to to help join the cause and call it name
48
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:23.879
that beaver.
49
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.519
Sure, every great beaver needs a name, h because how
50
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.519
else do you be down in the annals of history
51
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.480
without one?
52
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.800
And it's south side, so it should just be a
53
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:40.319
little beaver.
54
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:48.000
Oh danke to beaver. Well, it is plump.
55
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.040
I don't know why this is, you know, plump and androgyness.
56
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:04.839
I was like beaver balanche And if if you're under forty,
57
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.120
I never watched Hollywood squeers, you'll never get that reference.
58
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:12.920
Just go back and watch them old ones on YouTube.
59
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.040
Bruce Valance did look a little bit like a like
60
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:17.879
a blonde beaver.
61
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.120
Just yeah.
62
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:21.000
Uh.
63
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.839
So there you have it. A plump beaver in Chicago
64
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.560
needs a name. And I think I think this is
65
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.959
what I'll be thinking about all weekend. A name or
66
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.120
the plump beaver both, because I think the two go
67
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:52.759
hand in hand, just one hand. How sometimes you really
68
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:58.120
want to leave a mark and look, keep in mind,
69
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.439
just because I don't have a list of names prepared
70
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.839
doesn't mean I'm ill equipped to deliver some serious beaver
71
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:11.360
in you windows. Oh man, No, I will be uh.
72
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:12.759
I will be thinking you at this quite a bit
73
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:19.839
over the weekend. And you know what, what deep thoughts
74
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:21.639
I have in the middle of the night when I
75
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.079
can't sleep is typically my own business, but in this case,
76
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.639
I'll make an exception. I'll be sure to share some
77
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.000
of those three a M thoughts with you.
78
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:32.800
I'm gonna be thinking about names too.
79
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.360
I know, Dan strappy beaver doesn't sound you know it.
80
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.000
No, it doesn't have the oomph that you would hope.
81
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:51.120
Called Peggy Peggy the beaver.
82
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:58.639
Come on, no, that's uh, that's the name for the apparatus.
83
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:11.079
You love naming things, apparently just the obvious things. Uh
84
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.959
sort of uh but yeah, so like uh. There have
85
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.480
been other great naming contests in recent years. But I
86
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.600
forget where it was. But there was a boat that
87
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.800
needed a new name and they mistakenly left it up
88
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.519
to people online to come up with it. And what
89
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.199
the name ended up being Boaty mcboat face.
90
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.959
It was a school naming thing. I think it was
91
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.759
in Houston, and those names were very interesting. I can't
92
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.600
remember the names of them, but some of them were really,
93
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.560
really clever, and some of them were just downright hilarious.
94
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.279
I know, I know one of them was schooly mcschool face.
95
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.879
I have no doubt because that one always gets thrown
96
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.279
in to the mix whenever these naming situations happened.
97
00:07:52.879 --> 00:08:03.120
Freddie Beavery don't so it's a queen. I like it.

Maley Trade Turnholm, Ras Sharma and Jerry called well with
125
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:06.200
you inside the Treehouse today. Oh, very exciting news. Do
126
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:12.200
you guys remember a young lady from a few months ago.
127
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:17.279
She was a Hooters girl and she was pulled over
128
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:23.600
by police for a suspected DUI and she went a
129
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:31.039
little viral. I remember she went a little viral in
130
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:36.840
her altercation We're not really altercation, but in the conversation
131
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.279
she had with the officer that stopped her on suspicion
132
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:47.200
of DUI. Her name was Sophia Sophia Ross I believe
133
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.519
is her name, and I'm going to play for you
134
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.279
now a reminder. This was the interaction that the Hooters
135
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.720
waitress had with an officer who suspected her of having
136
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:03.799
a d You why uh some few some months ago,
137
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.240
I swear to God I talked for a living. It
138
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.759
just doesn't sound like it right now. So I'm trying
139
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.600
to find the damn video.
140
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:10.480
Uh.
141
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:11.799
But yeah, no I found it.
142
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:12.320
Uh.
143
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.440
So, the Hooters waitress that went viral for her interaction
144
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.879
with a police officer who stopped her for a suspected
145
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.399
d u Y is back in the news. But here's
146
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.600
the reminder of that interaction with the officer.
147
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:37.919
Wake out here, we're gonna make out there. I got heat, bro, bro,
148
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:38.799
I got a.
149
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.519
Now that part right there, while entertaining, is not the
150
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:47.679
part that made her Internet famous. The part that really
151
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.600
makes her Internet famous is coming up right here.
152
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.720
Okay, do you want to try this first exercise for me?
153
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:59.000
I will do anything for you. Daddy, God damn.
154
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:03.279
All right, yeah, buddy.
155
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.399
Now once again, we said it when we first played
156
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:07.799
this video.
157
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.720
I'm going to say it again.
158
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.360
The amount of restraint that this officer has is staggering.
159
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.000
Okay, do you want to try this first exercise for me?
160
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:24.639
I will do anything for you, Daddy, God damn, give
161
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:29.919
in that suit anything for you?
162
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:39.759
Can you put your feet together? Okay, now it's grabbing
163
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:40.559
my flash.
164
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.639
Whatever you want, daddy.
165
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:49.120
Okay, before we start, before we start, Hey, are you wearing?
166
00:12:50.200 --> 00:13:07.879
Are you wearing? I am wearing conta. I am wearing contacts.
167
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:13.240
Just stop it to fiah, well, we have an update.
168
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:14.279
What's that?
169
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.159
I was like, she backs the blue?
170
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:25.200
No, she backs up to the blue. Uh. So there
171
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.279
is an update on this Hooters girl being pulled over
172
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.679
for a duy a few months ago. Sophia Gabrielle Ross.
173
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.120
That is the Hooters waitress who went viral for shamelessly
174
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:38.480
flirting with a police officer during her DUI rest in
175
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:42.480
Sarah sort of Florida. She just got a lucky break.
176
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:47.200
She has dodged jail time. Her REP says, first of all,
177
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:49.559
I'm shocked she has a rep. But uh, we have
178
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:53.639
learned that Sophia Ross faced a judge last Thursday, and
179
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:57.039
luck was on her side. She escaped the sixty day
180
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:02.720
jail sentence prosecutors were hoping for. Instead, she's walking away
181
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:06.840
with a year of probation, random drug tests, and fifty
182
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:13.200
hours of community service. Sophia is beyond grateful to have
183
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.120
avoided jail time, according to her representative, and is relieved
184
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.960
to be able to put it all behind her, calling
185
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:28.120
the whole situation super stressful. It's just really really dumb,
186
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:30.279
and it's about to get just a little bit dumber
187
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:34.600
here because here she is talking to TMZ a short
188
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:37.639
you know, a little while back about the arrest.
189
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.679
I can really say is that.
190
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.159
I really want people to learn from my mistake. I
191
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.360
do have a lot of people, you know, reiterating the
192
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:53.840
fact that it.
193
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.559
Was a stupid decision. It was a poor choice.
194
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:02.320
But I think it's really important to you know, I've
195
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:04.559
been trying to stay positive. I think it's important to
196
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.480
stay positive about the entire thing. And you know, I
197
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.960
do have a really good support system, friends and family,
198
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.440
everybody just kind of telling me to use this opportunity
199
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:21.799
to send a positive message out there. Like uh, I
200
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.519
was dealing with a lot of mental health issues led
201
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.919
me to spot. You know, inspiraling doesn't always look like,
202
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.399
you know, hiding out in your room and being depressed,
203
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.600
and you know, sometimes it looks like being a party
204
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:35.879
girl and having the time of your life.
205
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:43.200
And you know, and offering arresting police officers. I am
206
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:49.159
so sick. I am so sick of people using their
207
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.759
behavior as an excuse or using mental health as an
208
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.159
excuse for their behavior. That's what it is. I'm sick
209
00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:57.960
of people using mental health as an excuse for their
210
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.600
poor behavior. Just stop it. It stop. It delegitimizes people
211
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:10.320
with actual, real problems, right, sometimes you just stop.
212
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.279
That horror.
213
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:26.120
Yeah, sometimes you're just that's okay, that's okay. And based
214
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.440
on that, I want to show you real quick how
215
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.559
much restraint this officer had, because not only did he
216
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.799
have show restraint in the interaction with young Sophia there
217
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.000
in the traffic stop, the suspicion of a duy. But
218
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.279
I don't know if you guys have seen photos of
219
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.639
her during the day, But I don't know, if you
220
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:50.159
were her arresting officer, if you be able to deny
221
00:16:50.799 --> 00:17:00.039
her advances. Hello, okay, now, if she just crazy yeah,
222
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.600
and calling you Daddy Tree.
223
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:04.559
Yes, please.
224
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:13.720
Trey's moving to Sarasota and stopping by Costume World to
225
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:15.359

the Treehouse, Tray, I'd like to personally thank you for

00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.519
waiting until after the show is over to make your
238
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:19.039
love quest to Florida to try to woo Hooter's waitress,
239
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.400
Sofia Ross. Now that you know that she's not going
240
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.039
to have to spend any time in jail from her
241
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:30.960
arrest on Duy, I must say, though, briefly, that I'm
242
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.160
really disappointed in our judicial system that they did not
243
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.240
give Sophia Ross any jail time for this duy because
