00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:32.240
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:38.079
with us inside the tree house on Friday.
3
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.039
December thirteenth, twenty twenty four.
4
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.840
I cannot remember the last time I was this excited
5
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.520
for Friday the thirteenth, partly because our tree house is full.
6
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.280
So you've got me Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm.
7
00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:01.320
We also have Raj Sharma and Jerry Caldwell. One more
8
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:11.840
person and our treehouse will run us over. And if
9
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.480
there's one thing that our treehouse can certainly get up for,
10
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:20.519
it's a Friday episode. And I like to think our
11
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:27.079
treehouse is strong and hard, unlike the Hawk to a
12
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.400
Girl's Mean coin, which is gone limp and did.
13
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.879
So in a matter of minutes. Pretty impressive if you
14
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:34.560
think about it.
15
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.680
People are actually accusing the Hawk to a Girl Hailey Welch,
16
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.560
of a scheme after the launch of her Hawk Mean Coin.
17
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.599
I don't even think I had heard the term mean
18
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.640
coin until a couple of days ago, but it's apparently
19
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.280
a thing, big thing.
20
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.719
You've heard like doga coin.
21
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.319
Yes, I've yeah, I know, I've heard of bitcoin. I've
22
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.680
heard of doge coin and some other things like that,
23
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.039
but I had not heard of meme coin before.
24
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.599
It's like currency, except it's a bigger joke.
25
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.560
Yeah, yeah, All I know is that it's under the
26
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:26.240
cryptocurrency umbrella. And according to this article from Vice dot com,
27
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:33.199
meme coins are basically cryptocurrencies inspired by Internet memes, Internet
28
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:39.000
memes or pop culture references and trends, which makes sense
29
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.879
if you're Hawktua, because that's how she got famous. She
30
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.400
went viral, and part of her extending her fifteen minutes
31
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.039
of fame is trying to cash in anywhere and everywhere
32
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.719
she can. So she did a number of interviews after
33
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.280
the uh the Hoktua moment went viral. She's had some
34
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.719
paid appearance is at nightclubs, including one to celebrate her
35
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.520
birthday that Shaquille O'Neil was the DJ at It's Very Fun.
36
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.240
Has a podcast on Jake Paul's network.
37
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:18.639
Yep, so she's trying her hand at podcasting. Before the
38
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.159
launch of her mean coin, though, Halee Welch, the hawktour Girl,
39
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.240
said it's not just a cash grab.
40
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:27.400
Yes it is.
41
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.599
That's what cryptocurrency is. It's a cash grab anyway.
42
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:38.319
Well she I mean, God bless her, but I am
43
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.199
quite sure and I say this. I don't. I would
44
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.719
not none of us would be smart enough to do this,
45
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.560
but to launch a mean coin and manipulate the market
46
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.639
in what they are being accused of. She ain't the
47
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.639
mastermind behind that. She just someone said, hey, you want
48
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.039
to make a quick ten million dollars here, let us do.
49
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:02.000
This, yep, and then she said okay, yeah. Before its launch,
50
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.240
she said it was not just a cash grab. However,
51
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.120
quickly after it took off, it crashed with a ninety
52
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.719
one percent declined in value. And then that's when investors
53
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.199
began accusing the Haktuur girl of taking part.
54
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.040
In a pump and dump scheme.
55
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:27.079
You can't make this up is perfect, but look, let's
56
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.920
be honest. If you're an investor and you lost a
57
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.000
bunch of money, that's on you, because you know, this
58
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.839
isn't the first time that the Hoktour Girl has sucked
59
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:34.800
someone dry.
60
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:36.319
Go.
61
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.959
According to investors dot Gov, in a pump and dump scheme,
62
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.800
fraudster's typically spread false or misleading information to create a
63
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.319
buying frenzy that will pump up the price of a
64
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.720
stock and then dump shares of it by selling their
65
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.600
own shares at the inflated price. Once the fraudsters dump
66
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.839
their shares and stop hyping stock, the stock price typically
67
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.160
falls and investors lose money.
68
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.680
And this Cray help me with this.
69
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.439
Isn't that that's sort of like one of the major
70
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:16.720
plot points of the movie Eddie Murphy dan Aykroyd. Trading places, Oh,
71
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:17.360
trading places.
72
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.959
Yeah, that's a commodity. But but essentially, yeah, it's this
73
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.160
is why in our in like within stock market, an
74
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.360
i p O, you're for forbidden from sell. Like if
75
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.920
you work for the company and you have stock options,
76
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.439
you're forbidden to sell your shares within like six months
77
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.879
of an i p O because all of a sudden,
78
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.360
you go from your shares are nothing, they're worth a lot,
79
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.279
and you could have mass you know, mass selling, and
80
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.879
the stock plummets. Yeah. In crypto, it's it's it's largely unregulated.
81
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.639
And this isn't even crypto where you have to mine
82
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.199
the coins and do all that stuff. It's just it's
83
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:58.399
mean coin. And that's for you know, about probably one
84
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.720
in every I I would guess us five hundred mean
85
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.879
coins turn out to be worth anything at all.
86
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:09.319
I don't know who it was.
87
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.199
There was an investor I saw an article about this
88
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:17.000
he was saying about cryptocurrencies. He's like, don't do it.
89
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.279
It's sort of an ethereal thing. It's not a real thing.
90
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:20.959
There was a video I saw the other day from
91
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.800
Warren Buffett, and keeping in mind, this is on the internet,
92
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.240
so I don't even know if it's real, because I
93
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.920
don't know if it's a deep fake Warren Buffet. But
94
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.120
according to the video I saw, Warren Buffett is at
95
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.600
a conference and he's basically talking saying cryptocurrency. He's like,
96
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.199
I'm not putting any money in it because it's not
97
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.000
a real thing. I could put money into real estate.
98
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.160
That's a real thing. It's a tangible asset. Cryptocurrency is
99
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.399
not an asset. And again, that could have been a
100
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.879
deep fake video for all I know now at that video,
101
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.600
it could have been a room full of black dudes
102
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:48.480
around him.
103
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.560
I don't know Warren Buffett. I mean, going back to
104
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.480
the dot com boom of the late nineties, he wouldn't
105
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.399
invest in Amazon or any of that because he was like,
106
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.040
how do you value these internet companies? And he's just
107
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.319
very conservative. He then became one of the largest, you know,
108
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.199
shareholders of Apple. He's just very conservative. That way, there
109
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.160
are some cryptos that are going to eventually be like
110
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.240
Bitcoin is going to be around. It's it has enough
111
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.360
behind it that it's traded, and as soon as some
112
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.920
of them will eventually end up being a method for
113
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.560
which you can pay day in and day out.
114
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:31.079
There you can use bitcoin to purchase things, So that
115
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.920
that does seem to be some type of currency that
116
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.160
is that is going to stick, even though it's not
117
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.879
backed by really anything other than uh, desire, I.
118
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:42.920
Mean, neither's at this point. Neither is the dollar.
119
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.079
That's true, it's all fake this, but it's kind of
120
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.959
like it's kind of like one of my favorite lines
121
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.759
in one of the Marvel movies. It was in I
122
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.720
think it was in an Infinity War when uh uh
123
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.240
Chris Pratt's character star Lord says it's.
124
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:57.959
Like, oh to Thor's like, you just made that up,
125
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.319
and he's like, all words are made up. Actually yeah,
126
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.120
he's right. Uh, society has made up.
127
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.879
Laws are made up, money is made up, currency is
128
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.439
made up, and what they're back.
129
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:10.480
But it's all made up.
130
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.759
But someone just thought sat around one day and thought
131
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.079
it up and said, ah, money and jobs and stuff
132
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.680
and cryptocurrency is kind of the same thing, but in
133
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.040
order for you to cash in on the cryptocurrency, you
134
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.279
have to have someone to buy it. In this case,
135
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.439
now you have to wonder about uh uh, you know
136
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:34.600
people as an investor. Of all the possible people in
137
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.679
the world that you could or could not invest in,
138
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.679
is the girl who who's claim to fame was spitting
139
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.240
on that thing the one you want to put your
140
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.240
life savings into.
141
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.840
Yeah, she said she prefers backshots because she doesn't like
142
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:51.600
eye contact.
143
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:08.200
Perfect for the banking industry. Warren Buffett, you're listening to
144
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:09.080

Yeah, Dan, That's something that we talked about for a
156
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.759
while now, and we decided to go ahead and just
157
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.279

Back it up.
164
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.159
When I was growing up and I told somebody who's
165
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.639
gonna kick their ass, you got to back it up. Well,
166
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.679
now that I'm a grown man and we're doing professional
167
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.759
services on people's homes and I tell them that they're
168
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.399
never going to have a better experience, I'm backing it up.
169
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.120
We're gonna take care of your home because we want

This is the Treehouse. I'm Dan along with.
190

Trey and Raj and Jerry on a Fridday, and it
191
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.080
is the holiday season, and I think it's time that
192
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.799
I finally share with you guys my theory. I don't
193
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:49.320
have many theories, but when I do, they're usually pretty stupid.
194
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.679
This one, I think is not entirely stupid. It's just
195
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.279
kind of silly, but I still think it's true, even
196
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.279
though it's not scientifically proven, which means I can only
197
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.360
call it a theory, but here it is. My theory
198
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.799
is that you can basically take any real life news
199
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:12.279
story and turn it into a Hallmark film so you
200
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.799
know how for years, Law and Order would say I
201
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.720
think it was Law and Order would say ripped from
202
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.519
the headlines. All these stories sound familiar because these are
203
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.840
our stories are based on real things that have happened
204
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.120
in the real world, Like this bad thing happened in
205
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:31.440
this person. Now we're going to dramatize it for a
206
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.679
Law and Order episode. I think you can do the
207
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:38.720
same thing with Hallmark movies. You could take damn near
208
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:42.039
any news story you see and you could use that
209
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.440
as a driving point for a Hallmark film.
210
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:47.679
That is my theory. There it is.
211
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.080
I've laid it out onto the Treehouse table for you
212
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:53.000
all for the holidays this year. Every time you see
213
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:57.399
a news story, think to yourself, could this be a
214
00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.919
Hallmark film? And I bet the answer will be yes
215
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.320
if you just think it's a little bit.
216
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:08.120
Hard y'all see where Hallmark did a reality show called
217
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:09.960
Finding Mister Christmas.
218
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.960
M Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing. Sorry,
219
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:16.879
my light was falling on me.
220
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.440
Yeah, they need the next, you know, their next Hallmark
221
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:20.960
movie star.
222
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.080
Yep, sort of like sort of like American Idol, but
223
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.600
for Hallmark actors.
224
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:32.279
Yes, But can we test this theory of yours.
225
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:33.159
See.
226
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.799
I was just thinking about some of the weird news
227
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:42.559
stories that we've talked about here, being Hallmark Christmas movies.
228
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.960
I mean, don't get me wrong, I would probably watch them.
229
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:51.039
But yeah, well, because typically the story is, you know,
230
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:55.080
it's usually it's typically a female has her big city
231
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:56.759
job and then she has to go back to the
232
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.559
small town for some reason, and then she meets the
233
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.559
down you know, the downtrodden guy, and they kind of
234
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.519
save each other whatever, and then they save Christmas in
235
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:05.200
the process.
236
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.039
That's the core of it.
237
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.960
It's usually girl, big city job and then she's got
238
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.679
to get back to back to some type of roots
239
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.120
and small town life type of thing. It's very rare
240
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.840
that these stories happened in the big cities. Although there
241
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.320
was one that happened in the big city. I'm not
242
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.559
proud to say I saw a part of that one.
243
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:22.919
But it's true.
