It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh

4
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.640
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley along with

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.000
Trey Trenholm on today's show, I am going to introduce

6
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.000
you to President hot Tub. It's not a slam on

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.359
our current commander in chief in anyway. It's someone else

8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:33.719
known as President hot Tub. But first we're going to

9
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.799
start with a very tragic story out of Los Angeles.

10
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.960
A man in LA died Friday night after cutting off

11
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.799
his own genitalia. That's according to TMZ. So I have

12
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.039
a number of thoughts on this, the first of which

13
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.439
is I and this is going to sound cruel, but

14
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.960
I hope this was an intended suicide and he wasn't

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.359
just trying to make some sort of a point.

16
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:08.799
Oh no, if you read on, he trying to cut

17
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.799
his own penis off. Then he slashed his throat or

18
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.640
I risked her throat, I don't remember which one, but no, no,

19
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.879
he he was going for it. I don't know why

20
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.319
in the course of offering yourself you think I am

21
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:32.719
going to cut my penis off first just because killing

22
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.120
myself isn't enough. I don't know, as someone who has

23
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.680
battled depression and in thoughts of suicide my whole life,

24
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.599
never ever, ever have I thought of making it prolonged or.

25
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:47.439
Doing it that way.

26
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:47.879
No.

27
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.519
Look, are you familiar with sepo ku? Yeah, that's the

28
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:59.640
traditional samurai execution where you cut yourself and then someone

29
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.319
else off your head. Okay, it's supposed to be very

30
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.200
honorable if you've been chained in some way, and that's

31
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.319
how you regain your honor. At least that's what I've

32
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.759
learned in all the samurai movies. I've seen no actual

33
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.879
cultural research on my part. Man, this is not how

34
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.520
you sepokoup you're supposed to. It's supposed to go across

35
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.199
your belly. Then your buddy chops off your head. You

36
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.719
don't chop off your junk, and then you do your

37
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.479
own net kind of a thing. That's really just yeah, okay,

38
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:34.560
it's gruesome, right anyway, it gets worse in a way.

39
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.479
So man in Los Angeles dies Friday after cutting off

40
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.240
his own junk. Los Angeles Police Department received a call

41
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.719
about a man harming himself in downtown Los Angeles around

42
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.800
three point forty in the morning. After arriving on the scene,

43
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.879
they set up a white tent to keep onlookers from

44
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.719
seeing the body, though a videographer at the scene captured

45
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.879
pools of blood standing in the sidewalk. I'm going to

46
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.879
repeat that, after arriving on the scene, they set up

47
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.439
a white tint to keep onlookers from seeing the body.

48
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.879
Don't ever let anyone tell you police officers don't have

49
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.840
a sense of humor because they let this man pitch

50
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:22.240
a tent one last time. I'm sorry, couldn't just put

51
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.639
a sheet over it? Nope, nope, you gotta go, you know, Hey, sorry,

52
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:31.360
you got an idea? Oh damn it. Anyway, law enforcement

53
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.199
sources tell TMZ the man cut off his wiener, sliced

54
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.599
his throat, and stabbed himself with a sharp instrument better

55
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.039
than a blunt one. I guess. We're told he also

56
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.120
tried to cut off his arm. Okay, he absolutely going crazy. Look,

57
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.919
mental health is a serious problem, and it's a serious

58
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.719
problem in this country, and we're not doing enough to

59
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.639
address it as a country. I don't think, but I'll

60
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.680
never understand why people go in the ways that they

61
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.000
sometimes do. Like even like the people that have set

62
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.439
themselves on fire in like suicide idle protest. It's like God,

63
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.599
it is just awful, And this may be one of

64
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.120
the worst ways I've heard to do this. And part

65
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.000
of the reason I sort of made a quasi joke

66
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.159
earlier about I hope he meant to kill himself. It

67
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.560
wasn't just trying to make a point, because I knew

68
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.959
someone that actually killed themselves and they thought they were

69
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.319
just trying to make a point. The problem is they

70
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.399
were doing it with a handgun, and they made the

71
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:28.439
point too good. That's why I think about that sometimes,

72
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.399
is people will do things and they didn't actually mean

73
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.759
to kill themselves, but they were just trying to make

74
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.560
some sort of a statement and they went a little

75
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.720
too far, or they underestimated their method.

76
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:46.040
Well, yes, there are always two things of people who

77
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.600
are trying to okay, i'll call it a cry for

78
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.959
help attention, and they don't really want to do it,

79
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.079
but they want it's a cry for help, and then

80
00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.000
they obviously it goes too far. On on the flip side,

81
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.079
it's people who want to do it, but they don't

82
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.839
think about this one thing of are you doing it

83
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.319
in a method that if someone finds you that they

84
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.759
can't save you, because the worst thing possible if you

85
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.439
set yourself on fire, but then they before you're dead,

86
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.759
they put you out. Well, you have just you know,

87
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.480
made it yourself a lifetime of absolute horror.

88
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.920
Yeah, you thought you had it bad before. Now imagine

89
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:37.600
your life as a burn victim. So you have all

90
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.800
the problems that you already had, you still got those,

91
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.480
and now you just piled on. That's a great point.

92
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:50.199
It's obviously we don't we don't encourage suicide or anything

93
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.160
like that, but I mean to think about it a

94
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.639
little bit like Trade just said. It reminds me like

95
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.279
the jumper in Lethal Weapon, the guy standing on the

96
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.800
ledge and Riggs goes up there. It's like, do you

97
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.199
want to jump? Do you want to then let's jump?

98
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:06.680
And you're right. I mean, that was very much a

99
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.000
cry for help, you know, with that guy. And then

100
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.160
you get one of the worst officers showing up to

101
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.439
lend a hand and he jumps off the building with you.

102
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.319
But that's sort of a similar thing. If you're having

103
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.160
that cry for help and you're standing on a ledge,

104
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.160
well do you really want to do it? Because if

105
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.199
you don't, what happens, if augusta wind happens, or a

106
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.040
bird flies by and hit you in the head and

107
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:29.519
you fall and you really didn't want to.

108
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:30.480
Eh.

109
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.759
Yeah, just just think about some of these things before

110
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:36.759
you start, you know, doing them.

111
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:42.319
How tall is that ledge you're on, because if it's

112
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.199
not tall enough, you could just you know, have secured

113
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.680
yourself a bed and traction for six.

114
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:55.839
Months and you thought you were depressed before, Hugh, just

115
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.319
think about it, that is all I'm saying. Just think

116
00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.600
one or two steps ahead, you.

117
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:00.959
Know, don't do it.

118
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:07.319
Get some help. Yeah, instead of going, instead of finding

119
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.680
a building and getting a tape measure, just call somebody.

120
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:10.040
Please.

121
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.120
We encourage that. We want you to do that. And

122
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.040
if you are feeling down in the dumps, I'm going

123
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.800
to tell you about President hot Tub to make you

124
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:27.360
feel better. The Bandido's motorcycle club president President hot Tub,

125
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.000
has been charged after three pounds of meth were found

126
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.439
in a raid in Lubbock. I learned two things about

127
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.560
this story from the headline. A there's a motorcycle club

128
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:40.560
called the Bandidos.

129
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:41.839
You didn't know that.

130
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:48.600
Well, I mean officially, and their president goes by the

131
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:49.639
name of hot Tub.

132
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:50.720
That there.

133
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:58.319
I have questions.

134
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:02.879
That, yes, yes, I have, I have. I mean, is

135
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.240
this the softer, gentler side of motorcycle gangs? Now?

136
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.600
I mean, is the name of the president also the initiation?

137
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.680
You gotta get in the tub if you want to

138
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.600
be a Bandido It just starts patting the water. Come

139
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:30.240
on in, I got met Bendido's chapter president, Stephen hot Tub. Ryles,

140
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.799
was federally charged on Monday for possession with intent to

141
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:38.519
distribute meth in Lubbock. Federal agents seized three point two

142
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.600
pounds of meth and distribution supplies during a February twenty

143
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.039
seventh raid of the club's clubhouse, which also served as

144
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.720
Ryle's home. Of course, it is because if you're the

145
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.840
chapter president of the Bandido's Motorcycle Club and your nickname's

146
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.320
hot Tub, you're absolutely right. Home base is your home

147
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.440
and all the chapter meetings happen in the hot Tub. Hope.

148
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:04.600
But is this guy, like the the the president of

149
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.240
the entire club or is it just the local Was

150
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.039
it just the local chapter because I have a luck Yeah? Sorry,

151
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.679
If he's the president of the entire Bandidos organization, why

152
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:16.600
are you living in Lubbock?

153
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:23.080
I mean bigger at least Amarillo.

154
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.759
No, I take LOVEOC over Amarillo because I mean you

155
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.759
still have Texas Tech and a bunch of hot girls there.

156
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:36.840
But uh, get out of West Texas. I mean, here's

157
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.879
this is bad when Oklahoma City is a better option.

158
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:46.759
Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong about that. Uh, this story

159
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.759
reinforces it. They keep calling him the chapter president, so

160
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.639
I don't I think he's just the local chapter of Lubbock.

161
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.720
I can't wait to see I can't wait to see

162
00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:01.159
this new series from from Tyler Sheridan Lubbock King.

163
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.360
Yeah.

164
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.320
Uh, it's just every episode begins and ends when a

165
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.080
hot tub.

166
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:11.720
All right now, Yeah, if he's the look, if he's

167
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.960
the the chapter president of the Lubbock chapter, hot Tub

168
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.600
seems like a fitting name, you know, trying to you're

169
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.000
trying to go younger. You're enticing some college students. Yeah,

170
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.240
come on in the water's fine.

171
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:30.600
M Yeah. Yeah. Seventy four year old Stephen Glenn Ryles

172
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:34.159
of Lubbock, also known as Hot Tub, charged by federal

173
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:40.120
complaint on March second with possession with intent to distribute methmfetamine. Yeah,

174
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:44.080
Chapter president of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club President, Hot Tub.

175
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.320
But you know what I wonder if this is a

176
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.639
you know, is this normal in the Bandidos to have

177
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.360
interesting nicknames? I mean like it's like this guy's just

178
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.480
the chapter president. Is the overall president of the Bandidos?

179
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:04.519
Like President's Room or is it President Glory Hall?

180
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:06.399
Huh?

181
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:13.639
I'm just spitballing here. I mean because usually if you're

182
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.879
if you're a part of a drug organization, a cartel

183
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.840
or something, usually I would expect your nickname to be

184
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.679
something intimidating. Hot tub just sounds inviting.

185
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.759
Well, you know, typically it's like, you know, you feel

186
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.399
like you've earned the nickname. I mean, you know, sledgehammer

187
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:35.240
or hacksaw or a killer. But what exactly did you

188
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.360
do to get hot tub? You know?

189
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.120
I mean there again, we have questions and not a

190
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.559
lot of answers. This is another great example of journalism

191
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.519
failing us, because we need to know how did he

192
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.600
get that nickname? Why is he called hot tub? Did

193
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.600
he drop a hot tub on somebody who didn't pay up? Okay?

194
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.240
Or is he just really into hot and wet stuff?

195
00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:58.799
I don't.

196
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:01.879
Is this vice president time machine?

197
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:04.279
God? I hope?

198
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:04.360
So?

199
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:17.799
I love that movie.

200
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:20.519
You're in the Treehouse visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.

201
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:25.679
Storm season is approaching, Slash Well, it's kind of always

202
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.039
storm season in North Texas, so you want to know

203
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.159
that your home and your roof especially are prepared for

204
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.000
the next severe storm. Best way to go about that

205
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.639
is to call Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration

206
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.120
at eight three to three Cook d FW. When someone

207
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.039
calls you Daniel for that free roof inspection, about how

208
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.399
long does it take before you can get out there

209
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:48.720
and you know, take a look around and let them

210
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:49.240
know what they got.

211
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.080
I mean, emergency calls, we try to get out their

212
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.080
same day. So if they call and they need some assistance,

213
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.799
we're going to do everything we can to get out

214
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.440
there and make sure the home is protected. If it's routine,

215
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.080
you know, check up inspections, we try to have those

216
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.440
out twenty four to forty eight hours, depending on the

217
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.919
schedule of the client. Sometimes the client wants to be

218
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.399
out there with us, meet us, talk about their concerns,

219
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.559
and that's great. We do want to meet all of

220
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.240
our clients face to face and so that way we

221
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:14.159
make a good connection.

222
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.960
If the client doesn't care.

223
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:17.840
You know what time we get out there, then we'll

224
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:19.799
schedule that accordingly with one of our guys. We have

225
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.799
a really good group of guys that all are educated,

226
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.159
know what they're looking for, and really want to do

227
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.799
the best thing for the client. So it all depends

228
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.720
on you, but our goal is definitely twenty four to

229
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.240
forty eight hours.

230
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.519

244
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.120
little bit, I want to bring hot tub time machine

245
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.080
back up. But first, uh, we don't typically cover a

246
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:49.600
lot of sad stories in here, but this one, I

247
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:53.960
just I just felt the need to do it for

248
00:14:54.000 --> 00:15:00.559
a couple of reasons. Sheriff the Basonhound was shot killed

249
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:06.720
in his fenced yard in Alvaredo. Four year old Basst

250
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.639
hound named Sheriff was shot three times and killed in

251
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:14.799
his fenced yard in Alvaredo's Stonegate man Or neighborhood. Police

252
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:21.039
and local family are seeking information and on this horrible

253
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:25.440
crime that happened on February twenty fifth, and it happened

254
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.399
between eleven am and four forty five pm. Investigators are

255
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.519
currently searching for a suspect and a motive family is

256
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.480
offering a fifteen hundred dollars reward for any information that

257
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:42.799
leads to an arrest in the case. They also said

258
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.440
that there was another dog in the yard with Sheriff

259
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.519
the Basst Hound that was left unharmed physically, but is

260
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:55.080
nonetheless traumatized by the event. So it's yeah, it's a

261
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.000
horrible story. It's sad, and I don't want to bring

262
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:02.960
everybody down, but this is a very stark reminder to me.

263
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.039
This is why I don't leave my animals outside unattended

264
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.639
because I just don't trust people enough. I have heard

265
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.639
stories about this just enough in my life that I

266
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:25.080
don't trust leaving my my my babies outside unattended like this.

267
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.279
I mean, they had no idea what had happened. I

268
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:28.720
think they were gone for the day. I mean, you're

269
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:30.919
talking about a five hour window where they had no

270
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.679
idea what happened, and they by the time they got

271
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:39.200
home dog was already dead. I just I can't do it.

272
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.759
And this is why, because I hear enough stories about

273
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:48.200
people snatching people's dogs from their yard for god knows

274
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.279
what reason. I try not to think about, and they

275
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:54.919
never see him again, or like in this case, it's killed.

276
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.480
I just I can't. It's I just I can't do it.

277
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:00.480
I don't trust people enough. And this is also a

278
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.919
reason why I have security cameras everywhere in my home.

279
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.039
Outside my home, I want to see stuff, and if

280
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:09.319
you don't, you should get them.

281
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:15.079
I mean I would be looking at the neighbors m M,

282
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:26.000
especially having once had a basset hound. I they bark NonStop,

283
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.799
and it's one of those things you have got to

284
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.680
be cognizant of what's your dog doing. If you're leaving

285
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.160
them outside when you're gone, and I to like, I mean,

286
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.480
it's just a tragic story. And I'm with you. I mean, Jesus,

287
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:43.480
I didn't leave Daisy outside. I was always afraid of

288
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.400
hawk was gonna come down and just swiper away.

289
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:49.039
And that's legitimate because she's she was a tiny, tiny thing.

290
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:52.799
I mean you're talking three pounds easy hawk food. So yeah, like,

291
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.559
like what was it? Was it a Geico commercial where

292
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.559
it showed up like a like a hawk or an

293
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.720
eagle or something picking up someone's dog. That legitimately frightened

294
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.559
me for you, and for days ago, I was like,

295
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:05.640
that's that's Tray's reality. He's got to be careful when

296
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:06.440
he takes her outside.

297
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.000
Oh there's no I mean I've seen a couple of videos. Yeah, no,

298
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:18.079
they that was always absolutely just uh because especially where

299
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.599
I once lived, I witnessed a hawk come down and

300
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.880
get a pigeon, and I'm like, my pigeons about days

301
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.160
no uh uh.

302
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.599
It sounds to me like when you when you got

303
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.559
to be armed and you take your uh you take

304
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.279
the dog out. And also in the area that this happened,

305
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.440
I'm not familiar with that specific neighborhood of Alvaredo. But

306
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:45.079
Alvaredo is parts uh you know, rural, you know, and

307
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.920
parts kind of city. It's been a while since I've

308
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.400
been there. I don't think it's changed that much.

309
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:54.799
It's oh, it's grown so dramatically. I don't know.

310
00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:56.960
I mean, I know it. I know it has subdivisions

311
00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:58.559
and things like that, and that's what this kind of

312
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.039
sounds like where it happened. But it's still country enough

313
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:09.640
because look, so many parts of DFW have wild animals, cougars, bobcats, coyotes,

314
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.279
which is another reason why I don't let my pets

315
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:19.319
stay outside completely unattended, because I don't know what's gonna happen. No,

316
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.759
especially people are one thing, and other other animals are

317
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:23.960
are something as.

318
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:29.680
Well well, especially where I mean the last bar I

319
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:32.960
ran Parliament, which is in the heart of Uptown, concrete Jungle.

320
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.559
There were multiple nights I walked out, you know, at

321
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:40.160
three in the morning, and there are coyotes, coyotes in

322
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:45.000
the streets in Uptown. In Uptown there you go, because

323
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:50.559
you know, with everything that's developed, you now you have

324
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:54.720
man and animal, uh, you know, cohabitating on a smaller

325
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:56.759
piece of property, and so yeah, you never know where

326
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.200
these animals are gonna come and all the I mean, hell,

327
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.039
you see videos all time about new invaders, you know,

328
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:08.079
whether it bobcats, coyotes, whatever. Yeah, I mean, my heart

329
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.039
breaks these people and that is just And but you

330
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:16.599
also when you're in the country, you see people do

331
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:23.319
some awful stuff to animals. Whether it's just simply I hope,

332
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:25.279
I hope this has lessened. But back in the day,

333
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:28.039
it was very common where people would just you would

334
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.160
see them throw a sack out of a vehicle on

335
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.960
the side of the road and it's filled with kittens

336
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:34.599
or puppies.

337
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:40.640
Yeah, yeah, very You're right, it's very that sort of

338
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:43.000
thing is very common, or at least it used to be,

339
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.720
like you said, in the country. I'm only going to

340
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.759
share this story because as a positive outcome. There was

341
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.279
a story last year. A couple of years ago, someone

342
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:57.640
had taken a cat and put it in a closed

343
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.720
suitcase and dumped it somewhere in I think it was

344
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:04.960
like Irving or in some sort of like an industrial

345
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:08.839
area somewhere in the mid Cities. I think the cat

346
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.079
was fine, but it was in that suitcase for like

347
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:14.799
two three days and they had video of the person

348
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:19.119
like throwing the suitcase out. To this, I mean the

349
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.279
fact that someone found that suitcase and the cat was

350
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.440
still alive and meow, we can trying to claw through it.

351
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:26.160
They open it up and there's a cat in there.

352
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:31.200
It's nothing short of a miracle that that cat survived

353
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.039
and a passerby happened to come by and see it.

354
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.200
So people do awful things to animals, and I hope

355
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:41.680
something awful happens to the person that did this. But again,

356
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.920
this is why I don't leave my animals unattendant, And

357
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.359
this is why I have cameras around my house because

358
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.119
if something happens, I want to see who did it

359
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:56.000
so I can go in them. Because I'll tell you

360
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.400
right now, I'm not entirely sure if this happened to me.

361
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:07.759
If I came home and found my Bella dead shot. Uh,

362
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.559
And that happens where I live too, by the way,

363
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:12.880
because there's lots of stray dogs around and people and

364
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:15.480
they'll talk about it there to shoot this dog. If

365
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:20.480
someone shot my Bella, I'll have video of it. I

366
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:25.839
may not necessarily contact the police directly if I have

367
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.640
any inkling of who you are or where you are.

368
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.039
I don't really see a reason to involve them. That's

369
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:34.640
as much as I'm going to say.

370
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.119
And I'm I am with you.

371
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.519
I don't mind going to prison for that, No, I will.

372
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:46.599
I will be fine.

373
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.720
I wouldn't mind helping you.

374
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:54.400
Mm hmmm, Trey, you feel like a little vacation. Uh.

375
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:56.599
But yeah, it's that that That's how I feel on

376
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.279
the topic. So there you have it. Another word, that's

377
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:01.359
just another reason for me. I guess the main reason

378
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:03.200
I wanted to bring this up on the show not

379
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:05.960
to be a downer, but in reality to try to

380
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.680
get something positive out of it, is please invest in

381
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.119
a couple of cameras for the exterior of your home

382
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.240
and the interior. It doesn't have to be a ton

383
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.519
of them. They're not even that expensive anymore. The Ring

384
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:23.480
cameras are great. Get them please, because if whatever happens

385
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.200
in or around your house, it'd be nice to have

386
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.359
the evidence that you could hand over to the authorities

387
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:31.960
or to me and Trey's Assassins Club to do something

388
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:32.359
about it.

389
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.440
Well, and especially now that Ring has the whole program

390
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.799
where you know your your cameras can help find lost

391
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:42.759
lost pets.

392
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.319
That's right, you told me about that with that Super

393
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:46.559
Bowl ad they ran this year.

394
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:50.759
Yeah, I mean it's brilliant of basically they haven't you know,

395
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:53.359
if you sign up for it, if there's a lost

396
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:56.720
or missing pet in your area, it will I'm guessing.

397
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.480
I'm guessing using AI, it scans through your camera footage

398
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.319
and if it sees, you know, a matching animal, it'll

399
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.400
alert people. And Yeah, what a brilliant way to use

400
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:08.160
the technology.

401
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.240
That's the big Brother I want, Yeah, big Brother made

402
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.079
to death. I want to find my dog, and if

403
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:18.720
someone else's dog, I want them to find it too.

404
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:21.240
And that actually reminds me because I used to do

405
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.440
the spots for DFW Security and they used to say,

406
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:25.400
you know, in these things I had and I had

407
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.119
their cameras, they had the AI technology that would discern

408
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.440
person from animal. I can't remember because it's been a while,

409
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:35.519
I can't remember if they could tell the difference between

410
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:39.720
say like a mountain lion and you know, a coyote,

411
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:43.240
but it would be like person animal whatever. But that

412
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.839
reminded me of like you were saying, there were coyotes

413
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:51.160
in Uptown right when we lived in Carrollton, our neighbor

414
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:53.640
across the street. Our neighbors across the street, Car and

415
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:59.640
Susan wonderful people, and car was Marine. Okay. One night,

416
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.039
he hears something on the roof of their house. And

417
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:04.359
they also have two children. At this time they were

418
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.559
much younger, so they had two small children. Cars Marine.

419
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:12.799
He hears something on the roof, He does what most

420
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:16.160
Marines do. He goes and gets his firearm, and then

421
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:20.119
he goes hunting. He gets the exterior of the home

422
00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:24.279
and he goes around the back strategically to where he

423
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.960
feels like it would be sort of from behind whatever

424
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:31.880
is up there. Found he finds a mountain lion. Shortly

425
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.559
after seeing the mountain lion, he sees two mountain lion cubs.

426
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:40.119
So the noise that was happening was the mountain lion

427
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:49.720
pawing at the skylight in their living room. Yeah, he

428
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.559
didn't shoot him because no one was in danger at

429
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:58.599
that point and he realized there wasn't an intruder or anything,

430
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:01.440
so he didn't have to, you know, just anybody. But

431
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:03.720
I think he contacted the city and maybe they set

432
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:06.960
traps or something. But that's that's another great example of

433
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.519
you don't know what's outside just because you think your

434
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:13.279
animal is safe in the yard doesn't mean they necessarily are.

435
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.240
There are mountain lions out there, and they're hungry, they're bobcats,

436
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:19.640
and they're coyotes and all these things, and not every

437
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:25.319
house has has a marine in it. Yeah, I asked him.

438
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.119
Though I asked him, I said, car were you were

439
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.400
you a little disappointed it wasn't a person And he

440
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:37.039
looked around and he's like, yeah, I guess he didn't

441
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:47.599
get enough action in Desert Store. You're listening to the Treehouse.

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.480
he's Dan Trey. You mentioned a hot Tub time Machine

460
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.119
earlier and real quick. One of our new features on

461
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.440
our Patreon is the Treehouse Reviews. We just had our

462
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:13.279
first episode last week where we went back and reviewed

463
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:16.720
Revenge of the Nerds from nineteen eighty four, and we

464
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:19.000
had a lot of fun doing it, And on our

465
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:23.319
Treehouse Plus episode that we just released this week, we're

466
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:29.960
now taking suggestions for the next one, and there's tons

467
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.440
that we want to go back and review. So if

468
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.000
you wanted to join, watch that Revenge of the Nerds episode.

469
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.039
Suggest others to us. Hot Tub time Machine, though I

470
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.359
don't know if that's old enough yet for us to

471
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:49.319
need to go back and review, and honestly, I'm pretty

472
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:51.279
sure that's gonna hold up. I have seen that movie,

473
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.720
I believe three times, and now I know I have

474
00:28:53.839 --> 00:29:00.400
not seen it in many years. But when I try

475
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.759
to think about a movie that was so surprising, I

476
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:05.559
don't know if I can think of a movie that

477
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:10.200
was a bigger surprise than Hot Tub Time Machine. It

478
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:14.519
was really really good and not good in my sense

479
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:16.559
where like it's so bad it's good. I mean, it's

480
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:22.160
actually a legitimately good movie with an idiotic title. But

481
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:24.160
it made sense and it fit and I love that

482
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.680
movie for my weird.

483
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:29.400
I don't know. I've never seen it all the way through.

484
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.519
Do you hate it? No? And why haven't you finished it?

485
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:36.240
You need to know the end to get so touching.

486
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.200
Like it's just I've caught bits and pieces of it.

487
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.559
I've never sat down and watched it, So I'll put

488
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:44.799
that on my list of do things.

489
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.039
Dude, watch the Hot Tub Time Machine.

490
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:54.039
I just watched. I just watched the Equalizer movies.

491
00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:59.119
I just got chills. I love those movies.

492
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:00.559
Oh my god, I love those movies.

493
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:04.200
Congratulations Tray for having seen the equal Oh my god.

494
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:07.599
But we got to talk. I mean, don't get me wrong,

495
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:09.359
I want to talk about the Taco Bell fifty K

496
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:12.920
and we will. But I really this needs to be celebrated. Trey,

497
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.599
you have finally reached manhood having seen the Equalizer movies

498
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:17.799
starring Denzel Washington.

499
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:21.680
Yeah, love Denzel that they were great movies.

500
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.079
Turns out there's more than one use for a shot glass.

501
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.200
Yeah, I mean you talk about creative ways to kill people,

502
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:35.839
you know, a plus on that. Yeah, yeah, as it

503
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:42.000
happened one. So I still and this is this is

504
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:48.000
my age, Like I still have direct TV. I like

505
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:53.039
having I like thumbing through channels. It's just I like

506
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.960
hitting the guide and just seeing what's on. The number

507
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.240
of times I will sit down, I'll watch something thing

508
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.960
with the commercials that I could go on another platform

509
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:04.240
and watch without.

510
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:11.880
Just the cable guide. Was the original doom scrolling? Yeah,

511
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:14.240
just and you know what, when you get to when

512
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:16.240
you get to the music channels, you speed through those

513
00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:18.160
and start back up channel two at the beginning and

514
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.920
go through it again because maybe in the last four

515
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.000
minutes something new has slid in there that will catch

516
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:25.960
your eye and that's what you want to watch. It

517
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.519
really was the original doom scrolling.

518
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:31.160
Yeah. So I watched Uh happen to catch that one?

519
00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:36.240
And then Uh, Brandy was here and she had seen

520
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:37.559
the first one. She's like, no, it's really good. And

521
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:39.640
then you know it's like, all right, well, then we'll

522
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:41.400
watch the second one, and then night later it was

523
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:42.119
just the third one.

524
00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:46.480
Did you did you fall into a an Equalizer marathon

525
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:48.319
on one of the channels or did you just watch

526
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:49.799
the first one because it was on and then you

527
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:51.160
went to a streaming deal?

528
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.119
So first one was on, then then it was a

529
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.400
marathon because then the second one was coming on, and

530
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.920
then Brandy's like, hey, why don't we you see if

531
00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:01.119
we find it without commercials.

532
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:06.319
It's like, okay, uh, I love you, baby, Yes, let's

533
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:10.519
let's let's watch Denzel Washington kill everyone for like eight hours.

534
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:11.160
That sounds great.

535
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:22.720
Yeah? First two great? Third good? Not. Yeah. They they

536
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.880
could have done more. They could, they could. That's one

537
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:27.359
of the few movies I'll say it could have been

538
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:29.039
thirty minutes longer and they could have gone into some

539
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:32.079
more character development and I would have enjoyed it. Uh,

540
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:33.759
but it was still good.

541
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:39.119
That I still remember in that first uh, the first

542
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:42.240
time when you see him unleashed in the first equalizer,

543
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:49.279
just like, god damn Denzel. Very gratifying. Yeah, and then

544
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:52.359
when he sits down with that one, dude, as he's

545
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.119
bleeding out and he's like, you got about sixty seconds.

546
00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:56.960
I'm gonna tell you all the all the ways that

547
00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:58.880
you could have lived, but you're gonna die. I'm gonna

548
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:06.240
talk you through great movies. Okay, So, Hot Tub Time

549
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:10.599
Machine is probably the most surprised I've ever been from

550
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:16.720
a movie. My expectations were extremely low, and obviously it's surpassing.

551
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.599
But part of our Treehouse reviews. I'm curious if you've

552
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:26.799
ever seen the movie Ski Patrol. This is a movie

553
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:29.240
I've seen a few times, and I don't think i've

554
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.720
seen it this century, but I remember certain parts of

555
00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:35.720
it very well. It's very much a B comedy kind

556
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:39.359
of a thing. Do you remember Summer School with Mark Harmon?

557
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:40.039
Yes?

558
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:43.880
Do you remember the guys who wanted to be the

559
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:48.279
horror filmmakers? One of those guys is one of the

560
00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:53.359
is also in Ski Patrol. It's a I'm sure it's

561
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:55.599
a bad movie, and it's another one of those that

562
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:58.920
I like that is just silly. But if you haven't,

563
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.319
I need defined it to rewatch it myself. I'm just

564
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:04.279
curious to know if anyone else has seen it, and

565
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:06.039
if so, if they like it as much as I

566
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:06.960
remember liking it.

567
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:14.840
I'm I am ninety percent sure I saw that back

568
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:21.000
in the day. Uh, but yeah, I would have to

569
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:27.960
go back and take a look at and but yeah,

570
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:32.559
that'd be worth a watch. Summer school. God, that would

571
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:33.400
be interesting.

572
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.639
That's actually a good one too. See. There's so many

573
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.599
great options for Treehouse reviews. So if you want to

574
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.679
get in on the Treehouse Reviews party, join Treehouse Plus today,

575
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.199
Patreon dot com, slash Treehouse on Air. There was another

576
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:48.400
one that was like a like a snow border type movie.

577
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.920
I'm trying to remember the name of it. It was

578
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:54.559
with Zach Galifanakis. I think it was might have been

579
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:57.480
one of his first movies. And I think that's the

580
00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:59.559
one where he got his he got his junk caught

581
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:05.400
in a hot a jet. Oh, I can't remember the

582
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:06.920
name of it. I'll think of it later. I'll look

583
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:09.239
it up. That was a good one too. Anyway, I've

584
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:11.880
seen too many movies and I've shared too much. The

585
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:20.400
Taco Bell fifty k Oh Boy one second. The Taco

586
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:26.320
Bell fifty k is back for some reason. It's a

587
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:30.199
fast food ultra marathon and you can run it in November.

588
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:35.360
The Taco Bell fifty K, the novelty ultra marathon, whose

589
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:39.480
participants run thirty one point oh seven miles while eating

590
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:42.960
at least nine Taco Bell menu items, will be back

591
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:46.320
in twenty twenty six. Why because apparently people really liked it.

592
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:50.719
Last fall, the race drew around five hundred runners, four

593
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:53.920
hundred and twenty nine of whom finished. One finisher was

594
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:59.400
nine years old. I want to know what happened to

595
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:02.440
the people that didn't finish, and why did the Taco

596
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.039
Bell get to them? You know? This year the race

597
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.199
will be held on November twenty seventh, the day after Thanksgiving.

598
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:13.400
The website urges anyone who is interested in trying out

599
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:16.599
something really stupid to sign up. Props to Taco Bell

600
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:19.559
for leaning into that, by the way, and they promise

601
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:24.599
survivors earn eternal glory and maybe heartburn. Completing the Taco

602
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.719
Bell fifty k takes between four and eleven hours, which

603
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:33.519
includes stops at nine Taco Bell locations across DC and Virginia.

604
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:37.440
By the fourth stop, runners must have eaten at least

605
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:42.639
one crunch Wrap Supreme or Chaloupa Supreme. By the eighth

606
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.320
runners must have also eaten a Nacho's bel grande or

607
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:50.719
a burrito supreme. Pepto bismal is banned. Reports of nausea

608
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.760
are about.

609
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:57.199
Oh so they they pick there are required. I was

610
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.159
and it said he had a nine menu item. I

611
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:06.400
was like, okay, uh, you know, if you're running a race,

612
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:10.840
you get a soft taco you could you know, it's

613
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:13.519
carbs and energy. But all right, if you're talking about

614
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:15.599
burrito supremes.

615
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.760
And crunch traps, man, that's serious menu items right there.

616
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:24.039
A local endurance athlete, Mike Wardion said it's back and

617
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:27.760
maybe bigger than ever. He's one of the events organizers.

618
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.760
He called last year's race a roving party and said

619
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.239
he loved the community, particularly the number of first time

620
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:36.800
ultra marathoners for whom this was an on ramp to

621
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.840
the sport. Co organizer Phil Hargus texted that despite the

622
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:45.559
taco bell fifty k being a terrible idea, this year's

623
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:51.719
race will be a pinata of fun and deliciousness. There's

624
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:55.559
also a charity component. Last year had benefited the DC

625
00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:59.840
Chapter of Achilles International. Not sure who it's benefiting this year,

626
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:02.000
but at least they got a charity tie in there.

627
00:38:03.719 --> 00:38:05.719
So if you're gonna have the runners sports. At least

628
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:06.800
it'll be for a good cause.

629
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:11.920
I mean, and the sponsorship ideas seem endless, I mean,

630
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.159
especially for charity. Depends stands out.

631
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:21.239
Oh yeah, yeah, I don't. I think that would be

632
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.239
a required underneath your shorts there.

633
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:33.000
Yeah. I mean I I've run a ten k, I

634
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:38.400
never a marathon, just absolutely. I I don't really like

635
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:41.519
driving twenty six miles, much less running.

636
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.039
Spoken like a true middle aged demand that's outside my bubble.

637
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:48.360
I'm not driving it. I'm sure as hell not gonna

638
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:48.760
run it.

639
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:51.199
Well even I mean even before, I mean, if I

640
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:55.440
had two good knees, I just know, an ultra marathon

641
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:58.519
sounds just positively dreadful.

642
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.559
It's important to remember that the first guy that ever

643
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:09.920
ran the marathon died. I'm going to let his sacrifice

644
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:13.400
be my lesson learned, which is I'm not gonna do that.

645
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:21.239
But it is amazing the world we live in because

646
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:27.360
a food that was once really most associated with either

647
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:32.320
being drunk or high is now sponsoring a LTI marathon.

648
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:36.159
Go figure. At least they do call it a terrible idea,

649
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:40.639
but they do it anyway. And and and also, I mean,

650
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:41.920
look at it this way. If you're in the middle

651
00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:43.960
of a really long book, that.

652
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.239
Could be their new slogan. We're a terrible idea, but

653
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:48.320
do it anyway.

654
00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:03.480
Yeah, i'd still I'm lining up h truth and advertising.

655
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:07.519
Yeah we're a terrible idea the next morning, but at

656
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:08.239
the moment.

657
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.280
Oh, nothing better. For all things Treehouse, go to Treehouse

658
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:16.639
