We start off the show with this scary thought: Has Florida become self-aware? Because they now have The Florida Man games. Then we learn about a girl suing her school because she graduated but can't read or write, tooth in eye surgery, a woman who marries a man who ran her over, Star Wars, and why Trey is on his way to Czechoslovakia.

1
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.480
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh

2
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.039
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with

3
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:41.039
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharman. Today is Wednesday, March fifth,

4
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:48.759
two thousand twenty five. I don't usually like to start

5
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.640
the show with something scary, but I'm faced with no

6
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:59.479
other choice today. Florida has become self aware.

7
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.480
What we've been worried about this for a while, Just.

8
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:13.040
Like Skynet, Florida has become self aware. And if they

9
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:18.319
figure out time travel, we are all hosed. The Florida

10
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:19.920
Games are real.

11
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:22.079
And they are awesome.

12
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.400
Like, if we're being honest, a lot of people, including us,

13
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.040
we make fun of Florida a lot for how ridiculous

14
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.920
it is, and Florida knows it. And we know this

15
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.560
because the second Annual Florida Games happened this past weekend.

16
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.959
Is it Florida Games or Florida Man Games?

17
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:45.799
Are there two of them?

18
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.959
I don't know, because.

19
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.719
Oh, this is the annual Florida Man Games. Okay, Like,

20
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.159
my god, if there's two of them, I don't if

21
00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.959
we can handle that much awesome at one time, Although

22
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.079
I am curious to see what happens for the Florida

23
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:16.479
Women Games, or heaven forbid the special Florida Games, which aren't.

24
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.319
They all I was about to say it seems redundant,

25
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.879
They're all special. Yeah.

26
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.960
The second annual Florida Games happened this past weekend, which

27
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.159
tells us a couple of things. One Florida is self

28
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:39.560
aware and two there's going to be more of the Yeah,

29
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.080
they're already planning for next year.

30
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.560
Sure. Yeah.

31
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.840
The second annual Florida Man Games were a huge success.

32
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.800
They went down last Saturday near Saint Augustine, Florida. Hey,

33
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.039
I've been there. I was there a couple of years ago,

34
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:02.159
a couple of nights near Christmas. Pretty light. The first

35
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.039
Florida Man Games were February twenty fourth, twenty twenty four,

36
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.479
and they had the second annual this past weekend. They

37
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.439
brought back a few popular events from the first Florida

38
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:23.319
mand Games, like the Evading Arrest Obstacle course. That's where

39
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.080
you escape from handcuffs, throw an alligator through a drive

40
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.120
through window, and steal a catalytic converter, all while being

41
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:34.479
chased by actual police officers. I want it said that

42
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.479
we didn't write this. This is what they're actually doing

43
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.039
in Florida at the Florida Man Games. Also back this

44
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.719
year the weaponized pool noodle mud Duel. It's just like

45
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.520
joust from American Gladiators, but in a baby pool, and

46
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.520
the jousting pools are made of pool noodles and duct tape.

47
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.840
Yes, this sounds about this is this is all tracking?

48
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.360
Oh yeah, that sounds perfect so far.

49
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.960
Also back for the second annual Florida mand Games the

50
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.360
Florida Sumo Cage Match and beer chug. That's where you

51
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.920
wear an inner tube, fight someone while holding a picture

52
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.120
of beer and try not to spill it. The loser

53
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.600
can still get points by chugging the winners remaining beer.

54
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.759
So those are the returning events for the annual Florida

55
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.920
mand Games. Just like the regular Olympics, the Florida Man

56
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.040
Games has added some new events this year. New events

57
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:47.879
this year included Hurricane party prep, the Grocery aisle Brawl. Okay,

58
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.120
it's like medieval jousting, but in shopping carts and if

59
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.600
no one falls, you just fight it out for hurricane supplies.

60
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.160
I remember doing that in the parking lot of an

61
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:07.600
empty food Lion jousting with grocery carts but obviously Florida

62
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.680
takes it to a new level.

63
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.759
Yeah.

64
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:16.079
Another new event this year human beer pong. You're in

65
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.079
a big inflatable bubble and you have to get past someone.

66
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.680
Then you jump in a pool that looks like a

67
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.959
big red solo cup. The loser has to chug beer,

68
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:26.600
whiskey or bong water.

69
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.040
Oh who picks that one?

70
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:33.959
I don't know who's in charge of that mix.

71
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.959
Yeah, I'll take the beer.

72
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.639
Other attractions at this year's Florida Man Games included axe throwing,

73
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.959
lawnmower races, a mechanical gator instead of a bull, and

74
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:50.360
the best mullet contest.

75
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.759
Is this Florida Man becoming self aware? Or is this

76
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.360
some just Florida Darwinian survival of the fittest?

77
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.000
Yes? Are they looking for a new leader?

78
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:05.639
Very possible.

79
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.519
This is how they not the herd.

80
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.399
I also feel like I know where we should do

81
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:21.000
our road show next year. Yes, a treehouse trip. Yeah,

82
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.639
we all go to attend the Florida Man Games twenty

83
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.000
twenty six if we're all still here, because let's be honest,

84
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.959
if the State of Florida does figure out time travel,

85
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.720
we're all gonna die.

86
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.560
And I personally want to be the first person of

87
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.800
color at the Florida Mangates because it's it's just all

88
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:43.279
you guys.

89
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.680
It has to be, especially the Mullet.

90
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.920
I don't think so. I think it's very possible that

91
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.360
the Florida Man Games will already have some people of

92
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:54.959
color involved, it just may not be in the capacity

93
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:04.319
you want.

94
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.920
Business online on Treehouse on air dot com.

95
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.399
Time now to talk to Daniel Cook from Cook DFW

96
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.839
Roofing and Restoration to get a free roof inspection. Call

97
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.639
him today eight three three Cook DFW eight three three

98
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:24.639
Cook DFW. Daniel, I'm pretty sure you know what's in

99
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.519
your homeowner's insurance policy because it's a huge part of

100
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.079
your business and your life. But most of us probably

101
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.360
have no idea what our actual coverage is.

102
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.279
Do we Most people have no clue what they pay

103
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.480
for on insurance because they expect that their insurance is insurance.

104
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.199
They expect that they're going to have a base on

105
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.120
insurance that they have to have based on their mortgage

106
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.959
requirements or whatever else are. They went and saw some money,

107
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.279
they say, yeah, we can get you at three thousand

108
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.079
dollars a year for insurance, no problem. What they forget

109
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.360
to tell you sometimes is that well, that means we're

110
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.279
gonna have to take your deductible from one percent to

111
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.600
three percent, or we're gonna have to change your coverage

112
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.480
from replacement costs to actual cash value, or we're going

113
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.879
to take away half of your writing coverage or code upgrade.

114
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.079
And this is this is boring.

115
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.639
Nobody wants to read your policies. Nobody. I mean, it's

116
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.639
thirty two pages of blah blah blah blah blah. So

117
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.879
make sure one, I highly urge everybody get an agent

118
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.360
that's willing to sit down with you and discuss coverages

119
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.079
and how much coverages change your premiums. And two, if

120
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.279
you don't understand it, now, make sure you get that

121
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.639
understanding before something major happens at your home. I mean

122
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.480
just I mean a few months ago, we had a

123
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:32.440
client that called us out.

124
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:33.200
They had a.

125
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.159
Ton of damage. They were shocked that they found out

126
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.799
they had a twelve thousand dollars deductible on their coverages.

127
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.480
Now, you don't want to be that guy.

128
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.480
Don't be shocked. Know what you're walking into, because sometimes

129
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.840
it may not even be worth it to follow claim.

130
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:48.600
You know, maybe you just want to pay out of

131
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.480
the pocket because if you don't have if you have

132
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.879
to have more than twelve thousand dollars worth a damage,

133
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.480
sometimes you won't. So now make sure you know your coverages,

134
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.679
make sure you get an agent that will walk you

135
00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.120
through it.

136
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:03.639
Great advice from Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration

Now that we know about the Florida Games and what

154
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.399
we're going to be doing this time next year, which

155
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.080
is going to the third annual Florida Man Games, and

156
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:21.919
with any luck, we will be the Grand Marshals.

157
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.279
I think mean grand Wizards.

158
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:25.480
I think.

159
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:32.639
All right, well, Trey and I will be there. Raj,

160
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:38.679
I'm not so sure about what you'll be doing. So anyway,

161
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.000
that's what we'll be doing probably around this time next year.

162
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.639
It's important to dream big, folks. Yeah. Meanwhile, there's some

163
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.519
things going on in other states that are equally as crazy.

164
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:56.080
I'm talking about the state of Connecticut. A high school

165
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:59.519
honors graduate is suing the school district because she can't

166
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:08.279
read or I'm gonna say that again. A high school

167
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:16.200
honors student is suing her school district because she's illiterate. Wow,

168
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.519
this is from Connecticut. She graduated in June and she's

169
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.399
now suing her former high school, claiming she cannot read

170
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.120
or write and is failing college as a result of

171
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.080
her alma maters or curriculum. Her name is Alicia Ortiz.

172
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.919
She was born in Puerto Rico moved with her family

173
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.759
to Hartford, Connecticut when she was five years old. This

174
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.120
is a good time to remind people that Puerto Rico

175
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.240
is a United States territory. So if your first thought was, well,

176
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.759
legals need to need to learn language, Puerto Rico is

177
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.519
part of the United States. Now that you know that,

178
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:59.279
backwards ass hat, someone needed to hear that. We all

179
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.840
know it. Here's one guy that needed to hear that. Now,

180
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.759
moving back, moving on. She was born in Puerto Rico,

181
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.600
moved with her family to Hartford, Connecticut when she was five.

182
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.519
She graduated through the school program despite reading at a

183
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:22.240
kindergarten or maybe first grade level. Wow as a sixth grader. Yeah,

184
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.840
as a sixth grader she was reading at a kindergarten

185
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.200
or first grade level. And during her last month at

186
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.919
Hartford Public High School, after she disclosed she was attending

187
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.639
the University of Connecticut in the fall, she completed additional

188
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.080
testing that revealed she had dyslexia and required explicitly taught phonics, fluency,

189
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:47.120
and reading comprehension, the first of which is taught in kindergarten.

190
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.840
By the way, she says, I didn't know English very well.

191
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.960
I didn't know the rules of the schools. There were

192
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.440
a lot of things that they would tell me, and

193
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.720
I let myself go by what the teachers would tell

194
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.720
me because I didn't understand anything. She said. She used

195
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.840
at apps to translate text to speech and speech to

196
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.720
text to complete her assignments.

197
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:10.679
Wow, how did she apply for college?

198
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:11.000
Ay?

199
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:17.399
I probably there's an app for everything, and there's AI

200
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.240
for all that stuff these days. After testifying about her

201
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.279
experience as an illiterate high school student during a May

202
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.799
twenty twenty four city council meeting, she said officials began

203
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.679
clamoring to ensure she received her diploma. Man, they really

204
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.120
take that no child left behind, you know, to the

205
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.600
next level. She and her family are now suing the

206
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.200
school district for negligence, as well as her special education

207
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.480
case manager for negligent infliction of emotional distress. Well, there's

208
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.600
always that, she says. I'm a very passionate person and

209
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:54.159
I like to learn. Call me crazy, But if you're

210
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.799
a passionate person and you like to learn, and you

211
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.639
graduate high school without knowing how to re or write,

212
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.080
I think a little bit of personal accountability is in

213
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:08.840
store for you, okay, because you are in the one

214
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:20.679
place where learning is welcomed. Okay, just saying sometimes you

215
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.799
have to want to learn. The learning cannot be forced

216
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:24.480
upon you.

217
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:25.960
Okay.

218
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.519
She says, people took that opportunity away for me to learn,

219
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.039
and now I'm in college and I want to take

220
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.360
advantage of that because this is my education. But she

221
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.080
can't read or write, so she says she's failing college.

222
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:45.639
Oh that'll do it. Yeah, that'll that'll get the job done.

223
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.720
It really does. At a certain point when you're in class,

224
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.360
if you don't understand something, there really does need to

225
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.799
be some personal responsibility. You need to raise your hand

226
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.960
and say I don't get it. Yes, now, if you

227
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:00.879
say that you would teach, you're a bunch of times

228
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.159
in a row. It's going to be very annoying. But

229
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.360
you need to press them on the issue.

230
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.440
Yeah, but I think there might be a little, you know,

231
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:09.799
embarrassment behind it.

232
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:11.600
Maybe that's why nothing was said.

233
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.639
Like I remember, years and years and years ago, Dexter Manley,

234
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.960
who used to play for the Commanders.

235
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.679
Now I guess Washington.

236
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:23.879
He was presented an award and they asked him to

237
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.600
read the inscription and he couldn't read it right.

238
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.679
Whoops. So I mean and he was I.

239
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.840
Mean their football legend. Yeah, there were plenty of especially

240
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:45.360
athletes going back eighties, nineties, early two thousands that they

241
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.039
didn't crack a book in high school or college. And

242
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.440
uh so yeah, I mean that's it's sad.

243
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.919
But but it's like Charles Barkley is famous for, I

244
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:57.360
didn't come to Auburn to go to school.

245
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.759
Came to Auburn to play basketball.

246
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:05.120
And who's said I didn't go to i host Ohio

247
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:06.120
State to play school.

248
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.080
It's very difficult for a lot of us when people

249
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:16.639
say they're quiet, part out loud. Yes, because there was

250
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.080
at my high school, there was a bit of a controversy.

251
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:19.879
Mm.

252
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.679
That surprised none of us on the football team because

253
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.960
there was a there was an outstanding athlete at our

254
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.080
school when I was a sophomore, he was a senior.

255
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:32.919
He was an.

256
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:41.559
Amazing athlete, and we were all pretty surprised that let me,

257
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.679
let me start this over. We weren't surprised that he

258
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:50.440
had a bunch of scholarship offers. We were surprised that

259
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.720
his s a T score was high enough to get

260
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:58.480
into some of them like Baylor. Wow, because a lot

261
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:02.399
of schools, even tho they may offer an athletic scholarship,

262
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.720
still have those minimum requirements that you have to pass

263
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.480
to even be able to accept an athletic scholarship. I

264
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.599
don't know what the threshold was at the time for Baylor,

265
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.440
but whatever it was, we were shocked that he had

266
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:19.200
tested above it.

267
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.240
Well, there was always a minimum of a seven hundred

268
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.680
on the SAT for college admission.

269
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.680
Baylor was no different, and.

270
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.759
We were all surprised that he hit more than that.

271
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.079
You get like five point fifty for you getting your

272
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.119
name right or something.

273
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.480
We were all surprised that he even got that right.

274
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.480
So when the news broke that someone was busted taking

275
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.480
the test for him, after the fact, none of us

276
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:51.839
were surprised. Everyone in the locker room goes knew it.

277
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:53.119
We knew that that out.

278
00:17:53.160 --> 00:18:02.079

Proud new sponsor of the Treehouse Show, I'm Daniel Malley,

302
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:36.960
along with Trade Trenholm and Raj Sharma. There's been lots

303
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.200
of strife between the United States and Canada lately. And

304
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.839
we're not going to get into that specifically, but we

305
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.880
are going to get into something very specific about Canada

306
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:51.119
and its eye surgeons that is very troubling. We have

307
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.759
trade a thing for this story. By the way, I

308
00:19:52.799 --> 00:20:00.920
just want that said. Hang on, I just lost my note.

309
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:01.559
Where did it go?

310
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:02.319
Hang on? There?

311
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:06.240
It is from that that doesn't go their files. Canadian

312
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.240
surgeons have implanted teeth into eyes to restore sight.

313
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:15.000
Explain.

314
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:20.519
Please, Yeah, I knew there'd be some curiosity that came

315
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:25.519
with that headline. I'm going to do my best to

316
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:31.160
shed some light on this for you, ROJ. Last week,

317
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.960
Brent Chapman underwent one of Canada's first ever tooth in

318
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:39.880
eye surgeries. For the record, I'm pretty sure I did

319
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.440
that in kindergarten, but it wasn't because of a surgery.

320
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:46.799
It was because of an ill placed two by four anyway,

321
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.440
Brent Chapman underwent one of Canada's first ever tooth and

322
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.400
eye surgeries. While it might sound like something straight out

323
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.680
of science fiction, this jaw dropping procedure has been restoring

324
00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:59.880
sight in other parts of the world for decades. Doctor

325
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.559
Greg Maloney, an ophthalmologist and surgeon at Mount Saint Joseph

326
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.720
Hospital in Vancouver told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation it is

327
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.240
a rare operation that most people haven't heard of, even

328
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:16.799
if you are an eye surgeon. H It's called osteo

329
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:25.119
odonto karatoprothesis, also known as O. This uses a patient's

330
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:29.400
own tooth to craft a support structure for an artificial cornea.

331
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.559
The operation is broken down into two parts. First, the themologist,

332
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.440
doctor Maloney, and his team removed one of Chapman's teeth,

333
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.559
shaved it down into a rectangle, drilled a hole, and

334
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.039
popped a plastic optical lens in the side of it.

335
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.759
The tooth then got a temporary home in his cheek,

336
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:53.279
where it's going to stay for about three months. There's

337
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:59.200
some really really weird going on north of the border.

338
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.319
The tooth what is it rush?

339
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:07.799
See, that's what you get for free health care. You

340
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:08.799
get a tooth in your eye.

341
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.400
Yeah well yeah, but before it goes in your eye,

342
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:12.359
it's going to live in your cheek.

343
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.799
Yeah three months, okay.

344
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.559
Doctor Maloney says the tooth doesn't have any connective tissue

345
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:21.200
that I can actually pass a suture through to connect

346
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.799
it to the eyeball, so the point of implanting it

347
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.200
for three months in the cheek is for it to

348
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:28.960
gain the layer of supporting tissue. During the same procedure,

349
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:31.240
Doctor Maloney prepared the eye by removing the top layer

350
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.400
of the eye surface and replacing it with a soft

351
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.559
tissue grapt from inside Chapman's cheek. He's just opening up

352
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:41.519
this dude's whole head. God, it's sort of like when

353
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.160
they open up the Alien bios suit an Independence Day.

354
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.440
Just you're gonna find out this guy's not a doctor.

355
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.759
On his business card, that doctor is in quotations.

356
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:01.880
No no license to practice any of this.

357
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:05.400
He's not a Canadian doctor. He's just a guy that

358
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:09.839
says he's a doctor and happens to be in Canada.

359
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:12.839
The U.

360
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.839
He says the graft needs. Doctor Maloney says the graft

361
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.279
needs a few months to heal so it can support

362
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:23.079
the implant. Doctor Maloney he said the initial procedure went

363
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:26.000
smoothly and the patient will be monitored closely over the

364
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.279
next few months. When it's time for the second surgery,

365
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.519
the patient's tooth will be removed from his cheek and

366
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:35.519
then placed into his eyeball. Then his team pulled back

367
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:37.839
the graft, remove the damaged iris and lens, so the

368
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.759
tooth with its new optical lens into the eye. The

369
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.000
graft is then resown over the eye, leaving a small

370
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:45.599
hole for the lens to peek through.

371
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:47.799
Wow.

372
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.960
The end result is a pink eye with a small

373
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.559
black circle through which Chapman will hopefully be able to

374
00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.119
finally see again. So there you have it.

375
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:04.000
That's a lot lot. That's a lot to want to see.

376
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:09.799
If that's the option. Like, Hey, we're gonna take a tooth,

377
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.240
put it in your cheek. Three months later you might

378
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:13.799
be able to see through this. I'm like, you know what,

379
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:14.880
I'll stick with blind.

380
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:16.720
It's easy.

381
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:19.039
Just sounds like a lot of work.

382
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:23.200
It's easier to get chicks when you know when you're

383
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.279
blind versus when you have a bicuspid sticking out of

384
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.599
your eye or heaven forbid, a moler in your cheek

385
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.279
on your cheek, I should say.

386
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.279
Yeah, that's just it just sounds like a fake, Like

387
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:42.279
it just sounds like a scam. Like we know we're

388
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.400
gonna give you your vision back, but you.

389
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.200
Know what does butt lift surgery is real? Why not tooth?

390
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:53.680
And I do cure blindness.

391
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:55.599
That's I don't have an argument for that.

392
00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:01.200
I know you can't Brazilian butt lift tooth in your eye.

393
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:07.680
Okay, uh, experts you can. The doctor does say, don't

394
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.519
get too excited just yet. The procedure is not risk free,

395
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.440
he says, with any ocular surgery of any kind, it's

396
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:16.480
a chance that we could introduce infection and lose all

397
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.079
of our vision along with that one tooth.

398
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:30.160
You're still blind and you're toothless. Now let insult to injury.

399
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:31.680
Again.

400
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:33.839

Treehouse on Air. I'm Danil Malley along with Trey Trenholm

414
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.640
and Rod Sharmer. We were just talking about the Canadian

415
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:40.319
surgeon who took a blind man's tooth, put a visual

416
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.839
apparatus in it, stuck it in his cheek to ferment

417
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:47.480
basically for three months, and then is going to stick

418
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:53.359
it in the guy's eye, thus reportedly curing his blindness.

419
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:58.559
If I were in that patient's shoes, after the doctor

420
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:02.319
described the procedure to restore my sight by putting a

421
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:05.039
lens into one of my teeth, taking the tooth out

422
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.279
of my head, putting a lens in it, and then

423
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:09.480
grafting it to my face for three months, and then

424
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:13.240
after three months, sticking it in my eye, my only

425
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:16.079
question would be, can't I just get a dog?

426
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:20.960
How's the other eye?

427
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.799
There's something to be said about that patch, but yeah,

428
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:31.799
I mean, after hearing that surgery description, can I just

429
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:32.799
get to see an eye dog?

430
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:33.559
Yeah?

431
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.799
I would just also be like, can I I have

432
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:37.279
one eye?

433
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:39.960
I'm okay, I don't have deut perception, but it's okay.

434
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:43.759
Face.

435
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:51.799
Yeah, anyway, just weird to me.

436
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.880
Are you guys, uh, Trey Raj, are you guys big

437
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:58.880
on forgiveness? Do you believe in forgiveness.

438
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.799
Depends.

439
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:11.079
Okay, Well, one woman believes in forgiveness very fiercely. A

440
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.799
woman not only forgave the man who ran her over

441
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:19.079
with his car, but she also married him.

442
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.200
That's love, is it.

443
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:31.359
A twenty three year old Chinese woman was hit by

444
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:34.519
a speeding car driven by a thirty six year old

445
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:39.440
man named Lee in the Hunan province. Despite breaking her collarbone,

446
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:43.559
she forgave him and her family chose not to press charges.

447
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:47.359
The man visited her daily in the hospital and they

448
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:52.480
grew very close. Three weeks later, she confessed her love

449
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:58.079
for him. He actually initially declined her advances because he

450
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:02.000
was worried about their age gap. He's thirty six, she's

451
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:13.680
twenty three. But he eventually acquiesced and they eventually married. Look,

452
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:16.359
I know the Hallmark channel gets a lot of flak

453
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:19.359
for its films, but I don't know if I've seen

454
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:24.039
one where the driver runs over the bride to be.

455
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:28.200
There is a new movie though, that's based on this

456
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:34.799
exact scenario. It stars Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, and

457
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:41.000
the difference is she runs over him. Okay, And I'm

458
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:43.279
now wondering, is that where they got the idea for

459
00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:47.519
the film is from this Chinese couple. Thirty six year

460
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:50.319
old guy runs over this chick. She's in the hospital

461
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.599
for weeks, and because he visits every day, she eventually

462
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.000
falls in love with him, and now they're married.

463
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.200
Oh.

464
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:00.079
Twenty three and likes it rough.

465
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:04.720
Thirty six with an extended warranty.

466
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:09.839
I like, how you guys are picking up what I'm

467
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:13.960
throwing down, because we're about to say some really shameful

468
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:16.960
things in here about this story, not the least of

469
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:20.119
which is clearly they met by accident.

470
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:25.519
Oh oh, was so bad? It was good.

471
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.400
You could say he really swept her off her feet.

472
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:40.119
She fell head over heels. Dude, you're supposed to hit

473
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:47.119
on her. And finally he appears to have sideswiped right.

474
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:54.440
I like, how, Raj, you're backing away from your microphone

475
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:57.039
as if you want to disassociate from the program and

476
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:00.880
trade shaking his head, going a negative judge, thinking I

477
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:05.000
could be reading stories about the Pope, the Black Pope,

478
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.519
all right, in all fairness, that's where I want to

479
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:11.960
be now to.

Maley Trade Trendholm Rosharma with you inside the tree House Today.

490
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:03.319
I was just thinking a little bit more about that

491
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:06.880
story out of China where the young woman was run

492
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:12.559
over by a guy. I got lost in my prepositions.

493
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:14.160
I was just thinking about the story in China where

494
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:16.559
a guy ran over a woman and not only did

495
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:20.160
she forgive him, but now they're married. And I couldn't

496
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.599
help but think if that same situation happened in Texas,

497
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.519
would it be any different? Would they still fall in love?

498
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:31.599
Would they still get married? Would Jim Adler officiate the wedding?

499
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:35.519
Are you in love?

500
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:45.079
Call me Jim Adler the Texas love Hammer. I put

501
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:46.480
a husband in your pocket.

502
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:57.440
The hammer. I like that. That's what I'm gonna call

503
00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:58.119
it from now on.

504
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:07.480
Love Hammer all right. Today is Wednesday, March fifth, twenty

505
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:13.200
twenty five, let's celebrate with some birthdays. Madison Beer turns

506
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:17.960
twenty five. How is that a real name? I guess.

507
00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:21.039
Madison Beer is a singer. She's got singles on her

508
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:26.160
debut album, good In Goodbye, also Selfish, and she's got

509
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:28.240
a song that apparently a number of people know called

510
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:32.200
Hurts Like Hell. The name is Madison Beer b E

511
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:38.279
E R. And she is twenty five today. Okay, as

512
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:45.400
country music just completely leaned into everything, like, is the

513
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.559
next hot singer gonna be hey bail.

514
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:57.240
With Madison Beer. I didn't know she was country. I

515
00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:58.680
didn't even I don't know who that is.

516
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:00.880
I don't either. I'm just I mean she's country.

517
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:06.720
Yeah, that's just where I'm old now twenty five.

518
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:10.199
She has no credibility in my eyes if.

519
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:15.519
You don't know enough to sing about. Yeah, turning thirty

520
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.920
five today is that?

521
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.400
Thirty five?

522
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:21.599
No, I'm sorry. Thirty six Turning thirty six today is

523
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.519
Jake Lloyd. He's the poor kid that played Anakin Skywalker

524
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:28.719
in Star Wars The Phantom Menace and Man that movie

525
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:33.719
and the fallout from it him up. He's just now

526
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:36.360
coming out of that darkness. Wow.

527
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:38.599
Okay, so he just didn't get cast in anything else

528
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:38.960
after that.

529
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.239
Ooh, you know why? He was terrible? Oh okay, And

530
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.440
I feel bad saying that. Go back and watch the movie.

531
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.800
He was terrible. Now, let's keep in mind it was

532
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:50.679
probably not his fault. First of all, the writing was

533
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:53.920
very poor. That's George Lucas's fault. Also, George Lucas directed it,

534
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.880
and that's also kind of his fault, not Jake Lloyd's fault.

535
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:01.639
He's a cute kid. You're just very stiff as an actor.

536
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:07.079
The Phantom Menace, especially after the last three Star Wars movies,

537
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:08.280
is not that bad.

538
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:13.440
When the last time you watched.

539
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.840
It it's been a minute. Usually, when I go back

540
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:18.039
and watch The Phantom Menace, I'm doing what most Star

541
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:20.159
Wars nerds do. We just watched the last fifteen to

542
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:23.239
twenty minutes and just get our lightsaber bonus and go

543
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:26.400
on about our days.

544
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:30.360
It was unfair. It was unfairly.

545
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.320
Harshly criticized because it was the first one after the

546
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:40.119
original three.

547
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:41.440
I never saw it.

548
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:46.960
I just yeah, I'm I hated it.

549
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:50.079
I hated it at first as well, but then over

550
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:55.599
time and as bad as the last three were, gave

551
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:56.480
me new perspective.

552
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:58.760
It is not a bad movie, all right.

553
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:01.920
I'm going to throw two words at you.

554
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:04.239
You can not even that bad of a character.

555
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.440
Jar Jar.

556
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:10.360
It's slightly annoying, but there have been far worse.

557
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:20.039
The Trade Federation guys who had the stereotypical Asian accents

558
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.440
was not well received at that time. I don't know,

559
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.559
you may be honest. Something I will say, like when

560
00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:30.559
you the three recent Star Wars movies take taken as

561
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:35.559
a whole, all three of them. There is an argument

562
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:40.320
as to which trilogy is worse, the Newest trilogy or

563
00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:43.679
the middle trilogy. Everyone should agree across the board. The

564
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:48.320
original trilogy is is the tops right, But the Phantom

565
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.320
Menace and then the awkward love story of the second

566
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:54.599
one between Padma and Anakin was just weird and dumb.

567
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:57.800
You could tell George Lucas and rarely been with a

568
00:36:57.800 --> 00:36:59.800
girl the way he wrote that romance stuff.

569
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:07.599
Well remember those they were based on books that were

570
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:08.400
already written.

571
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:13.320
Uh huh.

572
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:15.119
I'm just just saying.

573
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:21.719
It doesn't excuse go back and watch that second one

574
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:26.159
where it's Anak in the field. I have I swear

575
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:29.440
to God, I think you can see. Uh. Natalie Portman's

576
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:33.440
soul leave her body in those scenes, because I mean,

577
00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:34.960
she is such a better actress than that.

578
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.239
I'm not saying there weren't bad parts, but now, what're

579
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:39.960
you're talking about?

580
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:43.360
The second one? And yes, like Anakin was a pussy.

581
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:49.719
But but as a whole, especially the Phantom Menace was

582
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:54.440
really unfairly judged because it was the first movie after

583
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:58.400
the original three, and especially as you watch the crap

584
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:00.840
of the last three, and to me there it's not

585
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:03.599
even close on the trilogies of which one is the

586
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:07.480
bad one. Like, there's the original three that we grew

587
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:11.800
up on, there's one, two, and three, which I'll give

588
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:13.480
on a scale of one to ten a six and

589
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.480
a half. I'll give the first three and nine six

590
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:19.000
and a half, then the last three a three.

591
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:24.239
Yeah, after the most recent trilogy, I'm surprised George Lucas

592
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:26.199
didn't come out of the hedge he's been hiding in

593
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:27.880
and go you miss me.

594
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:33.039
I'm just so glad that I'm not the nerd in

595
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:33.880
this conversation.

596
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:35.599
This is so fascinating to watch.

597
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.000
You're the nerd and the rest of the conversations though,

598
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:40.519
so yeah, you better enjoy this.

599

I'm Danil Maley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma

611
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.079
with you just a little bit more left inside the

612
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:43.760
Treehouse before we close up today. I was very excited

613
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:47.480
when I saw this on YouTube the other day and Trey,

614
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:50.599
I immediately thought of you. So I'm excited to see.

615
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.920
You, know, you setting yourself up for a strap on

616
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:56.960
joke and then man, you killed it when you said

617
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:57.519
you thought of me.

618
00:39:59.440 --> 00:39:59.960
I'm learning.

619
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:06.920
I'm learning. I'm learning how to block and defend both

620
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:08.440
in the bedroom and in the treehouse.

621
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:10.960
No.

622
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:14.199
I saw a video recently and I thought of you, Trey,

623
00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:16.920
and I thought you know what, Trey would really appreciate this,

624
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:20.280
because Trey, you're a single guy, and I know that

625
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:23.480
you don't go out much on the prow looking for women,

626
00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:26.679
looking for dates. So I want to do my part

627
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:30.760
as your matchmaker here inside the treehouse. Okay, I'm going

628
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.519
to show you a video of a young woman and

629
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:39.440
there's the account that posted this. As a photographer, he'll

630
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:42.679
take photos of people and then print them out and

631
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:45.599
then give them to them. It's very sweet, very wholesome

632
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:50.280
until you see this, and I mean, it is sweet

633
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.280
and wholesome, but I think you know, there's I think

634
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:56.199
there's an opportunity here for you, Trey. All right, so

635
00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:59.599
here we go. This is a guy taking a photo

636
00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:01.719
of some onto then giving the photo to the person

637
00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:09.920
at an airport in Czechoslovakia. So he's taken a photo

638
00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:14.760
of a Czechoslovakian police officer holding a machine gun inside

639
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:19.440
the airport. He takes her photo, she smiles, and then

640
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.119
he leaves and prints the photo and he comes back

641
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:30.000
to the airport to give her the photo. Hey, ma'am,

642
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:44.519
here's your photo. Oh so, Trey, what do you think

643
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:49.960
about the Czechoslovakian police officer at the airport. That is

644
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.320
that your kind of woman? She looks to be I

645
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:54.119
don't want to say petit. I don't know how tall

646
00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:56.519
she is. I mean she's probably like five five, let's

647
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:57.480
say five six.

648
00:41:59.000 --> 00:41:59.920
She's hot. She carries a.

649
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:07.519
We'll see you, say see, we're going to check on Sabakia.

650
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:16.559
Get a rest, Trey, come back. I'm going to where

651
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:18.039
are you going? Where are you going?

652
00:42:18.280 --> 00:42:20.480
I'm gonna be his accomplice.

653
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:36.519
All right, we'll call me when you guys get there. Crap,

654
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:37.239
they really left?

655
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:38.400
All right?

656
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:41.519

Bye.

665
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:14.440
Yeah, I
