It is time to leave your worries outside and live
10
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.000
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
11
00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:01.880
Terry Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Thank you for joining us today. Well,
12
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:07.319
since we're all attached inside the treehouse now in romantic relationships,
13
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.079
Me married for quite a while, Raj in a new
14
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.760
committed relationship, and Trey has started dating somebody new. They
15
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.599
are now in the fourth or fifth date stage, and
16
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.920
he's already made her dinner at home, so they're on
17
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:25.680
a very good path to commitment. Hood. So this story
18
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.760
doesn't immediately apply to us, but it is going to
19
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:33.560
be something interesting for everybody else that's living in Singletom.
20
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:39.680
All right, there's a new toxic dating trend, a new
21
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:46.480
toxic dating trend. Throning is the heartbreaking new dating trend
22
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.000
which I'm fascinated by because I grew up with it.
23
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.239
I grew up calling it a blumpkin. I don't necessarily
24
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.400
know it's a dating trend. It's more of a sex act.
25
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.640
But admittedly I did not read the entirety of the story.
26
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.239
I stopped at the headline that Tray hent so I
27
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:13.039
might be wrong about what throning actually is. You are,
28
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.560
well damn it. I was. I actually had high hopes.
29
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.879
But now everybody knows. You know what a blumpkin is?
30
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.080
Yeah, but that's it's It's like a lot of things
31
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.520
I've I've found out. It wasn't because I went looking.
32
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.080
It's because I was around a dirty old engineer, dirty
33
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:36.159
old radio engineer.
34
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.479
Yeah, wow, tell us about you.
35
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:40.039
You and Jay?
36
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.879
You know him too? I tell you knew his name
37
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.199
and you knew who I was talking about. One of
38
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.360
the finest engineers I've ever had the pleasure of working
39
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.240
with in my broadcasting career. And what a mouth that
40
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:02.240
came out wrong. He had a very colorful tongue. I'm
41
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.840
gonna read the story now. Throwning is a heartbreaking new
42
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.280
dating trend has social media ruined romance for gen Z.
43
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.800
Beware daters. Not everyone who says they're looking for their
44
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.360
king or queen has good intentions. By the way, someone
45
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.560
write this down as a topic for another day. But
46
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.800
we can't all be kings and queens. So you people
47
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.000
that use those terms need to stop it. You need
48
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.400
to be a little more judicious with throwing around king
49
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.560
and queen. We can't all be that same thing with
50
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.960
alpha male. We can't all be an alpha male because
51
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.120
that gets the whole definition of it. Anyway, the new
52
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.879
dating term called throning, which means dating someone to raise
53
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:46.360
your social status. Oh hmm, I like Jay Walker's version better.
54
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:48.599
That's certainly more entertaining.
55
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.840
Mm hmm, I think I think I think Jay's version
56
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:57.080
would lower your social status. Yeah, but you different kind
57
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.479
of lat dealer as hell on only fans, Yeah.
58
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:02.120
I mean.
59
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.919
We, I mean this was you were climbing the social ladder,
60
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:08.520
gold digging.
61
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.439
I mean, I don't know.
62
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.759
Why does gen Z have to put a name on
63
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.199
every bleep thing? I mean, I get I've thought about
64
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.839
it because as much as I want to say that
65
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.920
their whole language and the words and everything else is stupid.
66
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.560
We did it too, yeah, you know.
67
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.639
I from Valley Girl to all the crap fast Times
68
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.040
at Ridgemont High, all the things. Yeah, we had stupid
69
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.720
words too. I get that. But they label everything with.
70
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:45.360
A positive connotation. There's always positivity to it. Is it
71
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.040
rhyme sounds better than gold digging?
72
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:53.079
Yeah, Raj is right. Now, this doesn't apply to every
73
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.000
single new term that we all have to learn, but
74
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.639
typically they do have a little bit of a positive
75
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.319
slant to it, like quiet quitting, so it's done quietly demrror. Yeah,
76
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.959
they're just like, like you're a throwning here, which is
77
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.959
just gold digging or clout chasing. Those two have negative connotations,
78
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.600
but it's throwing. It's like, oh this is it's a
79
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.000
bad thing, but it's a positive sounding term.
80
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.920
Is it a positive Is it a positive connotation or
81
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.240
is it because they're so fucking passive aggressive that they
82
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.240
they don't want anything that might actually be.
83
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.040
Our imply conflict.
84
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.040
Yeah, that's what I mean. That's why they have a
85
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.000
positive spin on everything, and so it's not taken to
86
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.839
that level of Yeah, like I mean, they have a term,
87
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.879
do you know what I'm not It was different in
88
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.600
our day. But do you know what barebacking is.
89
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:48.120
Yes, we've talked about it quite a bit.
90
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.720
Yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah, so I mean that's the
91
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.519
same thing like just going without a backpack.
92
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.319
Yeah, that's I.
93
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.399
Mean that sounds a lot nicer than what we used.
94
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.439
Different, right, same thing with raw dogging. Yeah, like like
95
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.319
and I used this the other day when I was
96
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.519
at my dentist. I was like, yeah, I had to
97
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.560
tell her. It's like you actually you realize you raw
98
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.639
dog that injection. Again, I'm really just full of these
99
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.759
really horrible things I could be saying. When you get
100
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.480
an injection to number your mouth, you're supposed to get
101
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.879
like the little topical jelly, so the needle doesn't hurt
102
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.199
so bad, and when it goes into your gum and
103
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.759
into your face that they forgot to do that, so
104
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.079
they just raw dog the injection. So I got to
105
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.480
use that term in a proper context. But yeah, so
106
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.079
the term might have a more positive sound to it,
107
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.319
but the definition is still typically a negative thing, like
108
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.600
the throning. It's bad to date just to raise your
109
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.439
social status. But at least a term doesn't sound so
110
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.480
so much like an attack m.
111
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.480
But I mean people have done this since the beginning
112
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.680
of time, like dated people with a higher social stature
113
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.959
than yourself. Yeah, I mean that's that's I think fairly
114
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.759
common it is.
115
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.680
But saying it's like a lot of these things that
116
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.279
get these brand new terms, they're not new things, they're
117
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.680
not new scenarios, they're not new examples, they're just given
118
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:08.319
new names.
119
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.839
Well, gen Z thinks they are discovering all this for
120
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.000
the first fucking time, and so they have to put
121
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:15.199
a name for it.
122
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.759
Yeah, it's like they're running around with a brother pea
123
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.519
chutch and they got to label everything that they think
124
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.560
they've discovered. Meanwhile, these things have been around forever.
125
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.120
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you have you guys had the
126
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.120
luxury of talking to somebody that's gen Z.
127
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.759
I have tenants that are gen Z.
128
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.199
I had employees that were gen Z. I work with
129
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.199
gen Z. Yeah, every every day.
130
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.959
That's why that's why Trey's a little more amped up
131
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.519
about this than we are. I mean, I think it
132
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.920
just depends on I think it depends on the representative
133
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.519
of gen Z that you get.
134
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.519
I think Trey one more miracle away from sainthood. If
135
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.360
you had, if you if you had to have them
136
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.399
as employees, and you didn't murder.
137
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.160
Almost all of them. Everyone at Parliament it's gen Z
138
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:01.720
like that.
139
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.279
So yeah, yeah, I can't.
140
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:05.759
I can't do it.
141
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:06.639
I can't.
142
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.759
I can't talk to them. It's just there's just so
143
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:10.920
much stupid happening.
144
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.839
I can't do it. It is interesting, though, because like the
145
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.439
whole new uh the new viral trend sensation thing that's
146
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:23.199
a cultural whatever to not just gen Z, but more
147
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.040
like Jen Alpha, the whole six seven trend is something
148
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.519
that I think the three of us would have difficulty
149
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.360
wrapping our brains around. I've tried for like five minutes,
150
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.399
and I said, you know, I don't need to know
151
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.799
anymore about what I already know. It's basically a nothing thing,
152
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.399
and that's what's made it so popular. I saw a
153
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.519
video this morning of a bunch of kids at an
154
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:49.360
in and out Like I'm talking like that. You just
155
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:54.519
saw that, Yeah, it's on Instagram. Instagram showed me a
156
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.480
real that said, I bet you're gonna be interested in this.
157
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.759
It was an in and out full of Gen Alpha
158
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.320
kids waiting for that special order to be announced, and
159
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.320
when demand in the little paper had it in and
160
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.080
out says order sixty seven. The whole crowd in the
161
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.159
restaurant just goes ballistic and they love it. And at
162
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.320
first I was pretty, you know, cantankerous about it, being
163
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.720
old crotchy, the old man, old gen X guy, like
164
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.120
this is just stupid. And I was like, you know what,
165
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.440
We're in a really rough time or rough period in
166
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.080
our country. If this is something so stupid and it
167
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.080
brings them joy, who am I to judge, especially when
168
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.320
that's the basis of our show here. So I applaud it.
169
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.519
And then I also recognized that while this video had
170
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.559
a bunch of kids going crazy and happy just because
171
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.879
the in and out order said sixty seven, we also
172
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.279
had the DVD video hitting the corner boxes on the screens,
173
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.559
so I can't really fault them too much.
174
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.919
I don't know what the DVD thing is.
175
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:02.840
Seriously, yeah, okay, I feel so lost here. So you
176
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.720
don't remember the DVD video icon when it would go
177
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.000
to like a screen saver and it would just float
178
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.600
around the screen kind of like Pong would do. Okay,
179
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.759
I am so, did you guys ever watch The Office?
180
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:18.039
Not?
181
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:18.399
Really?
182
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:18.600
No?
183
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:23.879
Okay, well if you did, you probably I've never felt
184
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.519
so alone on this show. I can't believe you guys
185
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:26.559
don't aren't aware of that.
186
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.799
You you would just you would just follow the icon
187
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:34.000
for the DVD. Yeah, and watch it and see if
188
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:35.039
it hit all the corners.
189
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.360
Did you point your big pencil at it and and
190
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:38.879
like follow it around?
191
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.879
No, no, no, no, you can't. You can't look at
192
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.919
it too closely because then it knows you're watching it.
193
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.919
You have to let it happen as organically as possible.
194
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.480
So you would just watch it and then wait to
195
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:54.840
see if the icon perfectly in the corner. If it does,
196
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.879
it's a it's a special special day.
197
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:05.480
Was this? Was this right before night meds? Is this
198
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.480
right before they gave you the good stuff to go
199
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:07.879
to sleep?
200
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.600
And I guarantee you you two guys are in the
201
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.000
minority on this. You might you might be in the
202
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.919
majority inside the treehouse right now, but I guarantee you
203
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.879
more people know what I'm talking about outside of this
204
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.000
recording session than you you.
205
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.120
So, it had a screensaver that had the logo and
206
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.159
it bounced around. You watched it to see if it
207
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.559
hit the corner perfectly.
208
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.559
Yeah, it was before social media. Man. You know, little
209
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.399
things you find different ways to kill time.
210
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.480
Did you end up actually watching the DVD that was
211
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.840
in the DVD player or were we just no?
212
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.039
There was too much excitement. After it hit the corner,
213
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.080
you had to go party. You're like, whoa you hit?
214
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.080
You guys just don't know joy.
215
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.159
No, I'm pretty sure I do.
216
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.039
If you've never seen if you've never watched the DVD
217
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.720
video icon bounce around the screen and hit the corner,
218
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.639
then then you haven't experienced something that is just pure.
219
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:09.720
Joy, like maybe watching the DVD itself and hopefully it
220
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:10.480
was a good movie.
221
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.799
Huh, That's what I would go with. But you you
222
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.559
were so fascinated by the loads screen.
223
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.720
You can do both and I did.
224
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:24.279
God, the fish must have absolutely made me mogasmic.
225
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.240
Yeah, and you can have the aquarium. How about how
226
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:32.480
about the fake fire? Do you do you lose your
227
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.360
ship on that? Oh? It looks like a fire, but
228
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:36.039
it's not one.
229
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:46.039
I love the Roku screen Saver, The Little City, the
230
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.840
whole the Roku City. Absolutely. I watched that for an hour.
231
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.799
It's my favorite show. It's interactive though, because you get
232
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:54.879
to try to guess, Okay, what are all the movies
233
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.159
and things that are embedded on the Roku screen saver,
234
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.360
obviously just operating at a different level than you do.
235
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.919
Yeah, I mean I think the third grade or a
236
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.120
fourth grade, but you're reading it at six.
237
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:11.679
Now.
238
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.000
Now, now we know what Tara does when she has
239
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:14.879
to run errands.
240
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.200
She plops me in front of the rope's screensaber and
241
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:27.480
I'm good.
242
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:29.399
You're threehouse on air dot.
243
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:35.000
Com eight three three cook d f W. That's one
