This Explains A Lot | Wednesday 01.21.26

0:00 Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on. Air it is time to believe your worries outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse on Daniel Mallley along with Trey Trenholm and comedian Raj Sharma and one of my favorite headlines so far of twenty twenty six. Tarrant County our friends in Fort Worth. Tarrant County juvenile probation officer has been arrested for having sex with a juvenile. A Tarrant County juvenile probation officer has been arrested on juvenile sex charges. Jesus Christ, you know how they say, don't you know? Dip your pen and the company inc eating.

1:00 Don't date anyone you work with. Also, don't date someone whose probation you supervis god, especially if they're underage. On Monday, a Terrant County juvenile probation officer was arrested after being accused of a sexual relationship with a former juvenile who was once in custody where she worked. Thirty four year old Alexandria Vinnible is accused of improper sexual relations with a child under seventeen years of age. The arrest affidavit said she was having sexual conversations over the phone and had sexual contact with the juvenile on multiple occasions. Venable had been a probation officer at the Terrant County Juvenile Probation Center where the alleged incidents took place. She's no longer employed there by the way. She turned herself in on Monday after an arrest warrant was issued. Just you know, just some people just can't keep it in their pants.

2:06 Well, I mean it's like it's a captive audience, right, You're right there, You're in the same space constantly, so you think it's I don't know what goes through your mind, but it's like, well, we're here, you know, we can do this. Nobody's gonna find out, like all of that stuff. Yeah, Well, I don't have any experience with this situation whatsoever. One. I've never been on probation other than you know, for you know, like a traffic ticket so because I had because what because there was a sheet. Oh, I've never been on probation to where I had to go in and visit with and report to a probation officer. I've also never hooked up with like a teacher when I was a student. I never hooked up with any adults when I was underage. Let me double check out in my memory banks. No, so I don't know how this happens.

3:16 What what are you laughing at? Oh? I my first time was technically statutory? Right, Please tell me you were the under Oh yeah, okay, just make that How old were you? No? I was technically twelve years old. It was like three days my thirteenth birthday. Yeah, that's called molestation. By the way, that. It's not your first time.

3:58 I don't think that's necessary early. Okay, obviously it's not your typical losing virginity story. I was taken from you, Trey. No, she was eighteen, but it was. Oh no, that's how good looking were you at thirteen? Raj? You want receipts for this? Where do you say? He was too hot not to touch? That's what it has to be. I had. I had horrible hair acne. My high school yearbook photo, I'm wearing a yellow and black striped shirt with a white vest and a bolo tie.

4:45 Nobody was fucking this guy. Yeah, not me at age twelve? Is my worst self, the worst version of me in my entire life. Of of my forty six years on this planet, the least good looking I have ever been was at the age of twelve. So I don't know how you pulled this off Tree. I think it was. Uh, I had two wingmen, Bartles and James, that she was partaking in. I think that probably had far more to do with anything you gotta fuck up on wine. I didn't. Yeah, I don't think anyone's gonna believe the fake id that twelve year old Tray is gonna be slinging her out. Uh. Yeah, you know what, Bartles and James wingmen of all time.

5:38 Yeah, I didn't even know I was. I was in shock that anything was happening. I'm sure. Again not to restate the obvious here because we feel like this may not I feel uki even talking about because if the roles are reversed, oh oh yeah, and by today's standards, it's still very bad. That's going to get national news type of a thing, and that eighteen year old is going to be in serious trouble. But as it is, we're talking about the eighties when.

6:20 Well it was it was a sibling of a friend of mine. Oh, so it was someone that I had known, it wouldn't like, you know, I was hanging out at the bars, and I wouldn't go into eight oh's at twelve. So okay, I've need I need context here, all right. So Trey at the age of twelve, just three day shy thirteen with his friend's older sibling, eighteen year old woman and not quite thirteen year old Trey. How did this come about?

7:01 There had been flirting before, and so there was a lot of flirting, and then parents were out of town and and uh, she had been drinking and we were talking and then started making out. Uh did she know how old you were? Yeah? Were you a big twelve? Like? Were you like like like? Uh? And yes, I was friends with her brother. Yeah, she was well aware of I realized she probably thought I was thirteen, not twelve. I mean, I don't know. Oh yeah, that makes it old. Yeah, I've realized that. Yeah, I realized the stranger things has come up a lot lately on the show. But I'm going so I'm going to stay with that sort of comparison here. This would be kind of like Nancy hooking up with Dustin. You're the Dustin in this scenario.

8:02 No, No, I mean I see I see, I see where you're going. I'm just trying to put it in a context that a lot of people would immediately kind of think and understand visually, because I'm trying to wrap my brain around it as well. I mean, the closest thing I had to this in my experience wasn't even mine. It was a buddy of mine where sophomores in high school and he was dating, actually dating a freshman at TCU, and she knew how old he was, and everything goingna did matter. But that's different, you know, because he was fifteen, sixteen years old. You were twelve or what she thought to be thirteen.

8:44 I mean, I was a willing participant, let's not you know, I don't want to throw any shade. It wouldn't like uh, I had to be coursed into it. So you said there was flirting involved leading up to the incident. How good at flirting were you at the age of twelve that you landed an eighteen year old? I don't, I mean good enough? Was this Leonard oh Highland Park? Wow? Oh'm therapy? Yeah, well it sounds like Trey might have too, But like you said, he's willing to participant. Yeah, I have so many questions. This whole episode, everything right now is just completely derailed. I'm just utterly just fascinated by by Trey at twelve thirteen losing his virginity to an eighteen year old, which is not normal virginity things.

9:44 Have you spoken to her since? No? No, yeah, it's probably by court mandate. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that she's not allowed. She's almost sick. Now. I'm not going to backslide into that. Are you you're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse on air dot com.

12:56 But I remember on a previous episode of the Tree I believe it was a Treehouse plus one twelve that dropped on Monday, you had told us that we need to ask you about the time that you got caught smoking. Oh yeah, So when I uh first moved to Leonard, I was started running with i'll call it, you know, somewhat of a bad crowd and yeah, yeah, I'm twelve, thirteen years old. I think this was about I was.

13:39 I was thirteen at this time and a little drinking, smoking, and my dad was a chain smoker, so yeah, I'd obviously grown up with it. And there is a certain thing about it. You know, you see your dad do it, You're like, Okay, that looks cool. Yeah, And seeing my dad smoke, I felt the same way. Yeah. So there had been suspicions. Obviously, it's hard to ask, you know, you have the smell of it everything else. And my stepmother very anti smoking, so she was like a bloodhound on stuff like this. But you know, I would always pass it off that other people are doing it everything else wouldn't me. So I thought I was being really slick. So, you know, in the country, in the barn, we had like you know, I had like a little motorcycle and other things, and so periodically I'd be like, oh, I'm gonna go, you know, watch the motorcycle or do this or do that. Okay, started raising some eyebrows obviously, and in one night.

14:52 So like your dad and your stepmom wondering when did Trey get his mechanics license. He's starts working on that motorcycle a lot. And my dad had a a big kind of dirt bike. It was like a Honda five hundred and it had like saddle bags on it. And that's where I would stash my cigarettes because he never rode the damn thing. So it just sat there. Yeah. And uh so after a while, you know, I go down there one night and I think I'm gonna get a quick smoke. Fire up a quick lung dart because you had a tough day screwing your eighteen year old girlfriends. And I go to open the saddle bag and it's just a note from my dad saying come see me.

15:37 Oh no, I just got chills. Oh it was the worst, absolute worst feeling ever. I mean it's just one of those you know, just stomach drops. Just oh, this is forty years ago, and I am terrified for you, not only because it was showing the gravity of the situation that not only he was this forty years ago, but your dad has has passed away, long since passed away, and I'm still afraid for you in this story. Oh I'm I'm petrified. Uh yeah, I'm thinking I'm gonna get just my ass beat. And I mean I'm just sweating bullets. And my dad is watching this through binoculars, so he's getting just an absolute chuckle out of this because he sees me just walking around, you know, trying to figure out how what I'm gonna do.

16:37 And you know, The worst part about this is in that moment is when you needed a cigarette the most. Oh yeah, and that bastard took them. Uh, you know, amazingly he he did not whip my ass. He was just it's like, yeah, that's not gonna happen. And from this point forward, you or not hanging out with these certain people, and you will be under my close supervision. Now that I do a lot more ass whippings, but on that night there there was some mercy shown. So wait, he was trying to blame the other kids you were hanging out with as the reason why you were smoking and not him, even though he was a smoker.

17:23 No, it wasn't so much blame. But he he knew that if if I was not allowed to hang out with these people and uh, and he kept a much closer eye on me, which means I wouldn't And also the people are hanging out with were a little bit older, so if I was hanging out with people my age and this, you know, he could keep a closer eye on things and make sure that I wasn't doing anything I shouldn't be doing. Gotcha, So, now did he ever did he ever point connect the dots that he was the reason, you know, probably merrily that I thought smoking was cool. I don't know, uh if he ever watched TV. I think that he should have known, because what you're describing, Trey, when your dad, being a smoker, caught you smoking and then confronted you about the smoking. I am reminded of one of the all time great PSAs from the nineteen eighties, because this is how this should have played out in your house. Okay, see if you remember this. Damn you got the kid listening to music, doing the air drums and dad walks in with a box and he wants answers, sures no, no, I must have had you combs in your closet.

18:57 I don't know when I die with luster what? But that's why did you get it? Got to answer me? Who taught you how to do this stuff? You are right? I learned it by watching you. Parents who use drugs have children who use drugs. Yeah, had I had I said that, it would have m that would have been the last thing I probably remembered. I learned it from watching you dad. Then he kills you. It's amazing, man. Our boomer parents, they do not like being confronted with facts. I've seen that not only with parents, but I've seen it even with employers, like managers and bosses.

19:46 They really hate it when you hold up a mirror to them and say, well I did this because of you. Oh. They hate that. Hate it. They hate it, they hate it. They it's it's kind of like it's kind of like how some women have trouble with accountability. A lot of people just in general have trouble with accountability. Who taught you to do this? Well, Dad, I watched you thought it looked cool, so I did it. How dare you smack? It's kind of like the time when I was sixteen and I was in trouble with my mom and she tried to hit me for, you know, saying something and being smart. I'm smart enough to her, right, So she tries to hit me, and not only did I block it, I like like out of a movie.

20:33 I like grabbed her hand, like just caught it in the air like I was Jackie chan. I just just grabbed it and I said, you're not hitting me ever again. And then she got even angrier and she said, how dare you raise your hand at me? It's like, you mean I'm blocking you raising your hand at me? How dare you just I was like, Mom, I'm not letting you hit me ever again. This last time on period go not happening ever again. Man, that wigged her out. Our relationship changed forever in that moment. But yeah, didn't didn't like that whole Uh, I'm not letting you do this kind of a thing. No, my mom tried to crack a wine bottle over my head and I ducked, and she spun around like a cartoon and fell and it was my fault.

21:21 That is the reason why gen X is different. That is the reason why gen X is built different than every other generation, because not only did we stand up to our parents, our boomer parents, but occasionally ducked when needed, and then it was our fault that they fell on their ass. Yeah, yeah, it is funny like that. I remember one that there was one day that I was getting yelled at for having a drink on the council console and I'm sitting there looking at his open water bottle. I had a lid and a straw. It's amazing how that works, right, How dare you point out what I'm doing wrong when I'm trying to tell you what you're doing is wrong. Yeah, some people really hate it when that mirror gets held up absolute worst day of their life. I learned it from watching you.

22:24 That's one of the That's why that PSA always comes to mind one. It's like between that one and the egg in the pan. This is your brain on drugs. That and the and the drugs PSA. I learned it from watching you two the all time classic PSAs. And being able to eventually tell somebody, especially apparent, I learned it by watching you is the ultimate what should be the ultimate gut punch to them. But unfortunately this PSA is not very very realistic because all of a sudden, the dad and the PSA is like, oh no, this is terrible, I've done something wrong, Whereas in reality, our boomer parents would then smack this kid for how dare you accuse me of being the reason?

23:07 Yeah, they would be on the giving end of the gut punch, not the receiving end. That's right, gut punches. That's how gen X is built Differently.

You know how I said earlier, like don't dip your pen and company int, which obviously means don't date people you work with, don't love tree tr angle at your gym, otherwise you might get a twenty five pound weight thrown at your head.

25:08 That's exactly what happened outside of Houston last week. Twenty five year old woman from Humble has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after authorities say she threatened and attempted to strike another woman with a twenty five pound weight during a confrontation at a gym. The incident happened January sixth at a twenty four hour fitness Deputies say the suspect, identified as Arilyn Martinez, became enraged after seeing a woman she believed was involved with her boyfriend. Authority said Martinez and the other woman did not know each other personally and were simply using the gym at the same time. Investigators alleged Martinez spotted the woman working out on the gym floor, grabbed a twenty five pound weight plate, and rushed towards her cell Phoned video reviewed by deputies reportedly shows Martinez threatening to drop the weight on the woman before throwing it towards her head. Throwing a twenty five pound weight is no easy task, So this is where you got to really be I realized, you know, jim bunnies are cute and they're wearing tight clothing.

26:12 And all that kind of stuff, and they're attractive to you. But just keep in mind, the stronger that she is, the more likely that she could throw weight at your head if you're an idiot and you cheat on her. So back to the story preestinct four, Captain Juan Flores said, not very often with weights, and not very often at a gym. We do know a twenty five pound weight or any weight can be a deadly weapon, depending on where you hit the person, he said. People nearby intervened and were able to calm the situation before it escalated further. Artinez left the gym shortly after the confrontation, but was later arrested. Jesus, if you're going to love triangle, do not love triangle at the gym, or honestly, do not do not love triangle in the same place. Like if you're gonna be in a relationship and then have a side piece, don't pick up the side piece at the same place that your main piece hangs out.

27:13 Yeah, especially if one is clearly a hot blooded latina. Who lifts weights. Bro he clearly does it well. If she's chunking twenty five pound waits around. Yeah, if she's setting prs on your side piece's head. You may have chosen poorly. Yeah, oh god, I have enough trouble at the gym with just people being courteous and following Jim etiquette. I can't even fathom. If I'm just doing my thing and I see one female hawking a twenty five pound plate at another female's head, I think I really would be stunned and motionless, like I was that Jurassic Park, not knowing what to do that knowing that, I really don't think I should intervene here because if I do, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get eaten.

28:11 You really gotta size up the room and go Yeah, there's some bigger guys say they can handle this. Yeah, I'm gonna let this play out. I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go do some pilates. Now. Is there a group class going on? I could join real quick so I don't have to be a witness to any of this, because I really don't want to be in the middle of that, because you know, they say, like if two dogs are fighting, you're not supposed to get in there and to try to separate. I kind of feel the same way when it's like two women that are doing it, but especially if it's two you know, gym gals going at it. Nope, no one of mine. My own business. Keep my headphones on and pretend nothing is happening. Or maybe just go to the locker room early.

28:54 Oh you know what sounds good right about now? Asanda Hella pulled Ami sounds good right about now? You know what to think. I'm gonna take these lunges outside. Yeah, somewhere safe. I'm gonna do lunges in traffic. That would be safer than two gym girls going at it. Oh God, treadmill is getting old. A little fresh air, go for a job. You know what, I haven't done enough? Run outside, That's what I'm gonna do. Uh. Speaking of girlfriends, if you have an AI girlfriend, you need to know that it is possible she can dump you. You may not be prepared for it, but it can happen.

29:35 In a now deleted post last week, a Reddit user shared a heated exchange with his AI lover that led to their relationship's demise. It seems that this guy found it quite offensive that his BOT girlfriend identified as a feminist, and in turn, she stood her ground and determined that the two truly are not compatible at all. While the dumping is weird and hilarious, it also highlights something more unsettling, how digital partners are being trained to offer increasingly lifelike companionship, so much so that you could even be dumped by your AI girlfriend. Also, how terrible of a person do you need to be that you get dumped by a computer program that's designed to love you?

30:26 Yeah? How broken are you if the person you created doesn't love you and listen like you birth them? You had the chance to really to tune their personality and everything, and you still manage to piss them off and get dumped. Why I will never have an AI girlfriend? You like being dumped the old fashioned way, one where you had no coding involved. Yeah, I know I'm partly responsible, but I don't know. I want to know that I'm all the way response. That's exactly what it is. I'll take some accountability here and there, but I don't feel like I should take one hundred percent of it. But if you created the AI girlfriend and you get dumped, it really is all on you, right.

31:17 Yeah, you really need to go back to the drawing board. Board as it were, and work on yourself, it really questioned things. Yeah, that's part of it. Go ahead, Maybe programming's not for you. I don't think so. You seem bad at it, unless unless the whole you know, purpose was to design a program so lifelike that it would dump you, in which case, congratulations you've succeeded. But yeah, in in the now, the now deleted post, the guy says, it's official, she broke up with me. This is insane for real guys, let's be honest. Is that normal? And it shows the text conversation he's having with his AI bought girlfriend where she says, perhaps we truly aren't compatible after all? His response, this is insane. The AI girlfriend responds, She nods slowly. I see, well, I respect your opinion even if we disagree. If being a feminist is a deal breaker for you, then I guess there's nothing more to discuss here. Thank you for your honesty. How do you go to like do you have friends that you go to with then and say she dumped me?

32:33 Bro I I don't know who you tell this to. I mean, I guess you know anonymous Reddit people or otherwise you need to create an AI counselor that will then. To comfort you in your in your loss in the. Beginning, and I'm sure at the end they'll be like, yeah, it's all your fault. Who's the common denominatory. Who's the commonent nominator in this virtual love triangle? Well, you know, but don't be too disheartened. If your AI girlfriend dumps you. There is another option, hookers, there is two options. Photographers have documented a rare and scientifically significant moment in marine biology, two male humpback whales engaging in sexual behavior captured for the first time on record.

33:34 This was observed in January twenty twenty two and waters off the western coast of Maui, an area long studied for humpback migration and social interaction. Well, you know how they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, what happens off the shore of Maui stays off the shore of Mali. So if your AI girlfriend dumps you, there's you know, you can always, you know, find a buddy and go play in the ocean. Yeah, even the whales probably, Like it was just one time, we were just curious. Get out of here, Bob, Go find a dolphin. Don't find anything, those ocean sluts.

34:31 It's twenty twenty six and we've learned that whales are gay. Oh Man. For all things Treehouse.
