We're A Terrible Idea, But Do It Anyways | Tuesday 03.10.26

0:00 Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at YouTube dot com. Slash at Treehouse on air. It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley along with Trey Trenholm on today's show, I am going to introduce you to President hot Tub. It's not a slam on our current commander in chief in anyway. It's someone else known as President hot Tub. But first we're going to start with a very tragic story out of Los Angeles. A man in LA died Friday night after cutting off his own genitalia. That's according to TMZ. So I have a number of thoughts on this, the first of which is I and this is going to sound cruel, but I hope this was an intended suicide and he wasn't just trying to make some sort of a point.

1:03 Oh no, if you read on, he trying to cut his own penis off. Then he slashed his throat or I risked her throat, I don't remember which one, but no, no, he he was going for it. I don't know why in the course of offering yourself you think I am going to cut my penis off first just because killing myself isn't enough. I don't know, as someone who has battled depression and in thoughts of suicide my whole life, never ever, ever have I thought of making it prolonged or.

1:46 Doing it that way. No. Look, are you familiar with sepo ku? Yeah, that's the traditional samurai execution where you cut yourself and then someone else off your head. Okay, it's supposed to be very honorable if you've been chained in some way, and that's how you regain your honor. At least that's what I've learned in all the samurai movies. I've seen no actual cultural research on my part. Man, this is not how you sepokoup you're supposed to. It's supposed to go across your belly. Then your buddy chops off your head. You don't chop off your junk, and then you do your own net kind of a thing. That's really just yeah, okay, it's gruesome, right anyway, it gets worse in a way.

2:36 So man in Los Angeles dies Friday after cutting off his own junk. Los Angeles Police Department received a call about a man harming himself in downtown Los Angeles around three point forty in the morning. After arriving on the scene, they set up a white tent to keep onlookers from seeing the body, though a videographer at the scene captured pools of blood standing in the sidewalk. I'm going to repeat that, after arriving on the scene, they set up a white tint to keep onlookers from seeing the body. Don't ever let anyone tell you police officers don't have a sense of humor because they let this man pitch a tent one last time. I'm sorry, couldn't just put a sheet over it? Nope, nope, you gotta go, you know, Hey, sorry, you got an idea? Oh damn it. Anyway, law enforcement sources tell TMZ the man cut off his wiener, sliced his throat, and stabbed himself with a sharp instrument better than a blunt one. I guess. We're told he also tried to cut off his arm. Okay, he absolutely going crazy. Look, mental health is a serious problem, and it's a serious problem in this country, and we're not doing enough to address it as a country. I don't think, but I'll never understand why people go in the ways that they sometimes do. Like even like the people that have set themselves on fire in like suicide idle protest. It's like God, it is just awful, And this may be one of the worst ways I've heard to do this. And part

4:09 of the reason I sort of made a quasi joke earlier about I hope he meant to kill himself. It wasn't just trying to make a point, because I knew someone that actually killed themselves and they thought they were just trying to make a point. The problem is they were doing it with a handgun, and they made the point too good. That's why I think about that sometimes, is people will do things and they didn't actually mean to kill themselves, but they were just trying to make some sort of a statement and they went a little too far, or they underestimated their method. Well, yes, there are always two things of people who are trying to okay, i'll call it a cry for help attention, and they don't really want to do it, but they want it's a cry for help, and then they obviously it goes too far. On on the flip side, it's people who want to do it, but they don't think about this one thing of are you doing it in a method that if someone finds you that they can't save you, because the worst thing possible if you set yourself on fire, but then they before you're dead, they put you out. Well, you have just you know, made it yourself a lifetime of absolute horror.

5:32 Yeah, you thought you had it bad before. Now imagine your life as a burn victim. So you have all the problems that you already had, you still got those, and now you just piled on. That's a great point. It's obviously we don't we don't encourage suicide or anything like that, but I mean to think about it a little bit like Trade just said. It reminds me like the jumper in Lethal Weapon, the guy standing on the ledge and Riggs goes up there. It's like, do you want to jump? Do you want to then let's jump? And you're right. I mean, that was very much a cry for help, you know, with that guy. And then you get one of the worst officers showing up to lend a hand and he jumps off the building with you.

6:16 But that's sort of a similar thing. If you're having that cry for help and you're standing on a ledge, well do you really want to do it? Because if you don't, what happens, if augusta wind happens, or a bird flies by and hit you in the head and you fall and you really didn't want to. Eh. Yeah, just just think about some of these things before you start, you know, doing them. How tall is that ledge you're on, because if it's not tall enough, you could just you know, have secured yourself a bed and traction for six. Months and you thought you were depressed before, Hugh, just think about it, that is all I'm saying. Just think one or two steps ahead, you.

6:59 Know, don't do it. Get some help. Yeah, instead of going, instead of finding a building and getting a tape measure, just call somebody. Please. We encourage that. We want you to do that. And if you are feeling down in the dumps, I'm going to tell you about President hot Tub to make you feel better. The Bandido's motorcycle club president President hot Tub, has been charged after three pounds of meth were found in a raid in Lubbock. I learned two things about this story from the headline. A there's a motorcycle club called the Bandidos.

7:41 You didn't know that. Well, I mean officially, and their president goes by the name of hot Tub. That there. I have questions. That, yes, yes, I have, I have. I mean, is this the softer, gentler side of motorcycle gangs? Now? I mean, is the name of the president also the initiation? You gotta get in the tub if you want to be a Bandido It just starts patting the water. Come on in, I got met Bendido's chapter president, Stephen hot Tub. Ryles, was federally charged on Monday for possession with intent to distribute meth in Lubbock. Federal agents seized three point two pounds of meth and distribution supplies during a February twenty seventh raid of the club's clubhouse, which also served as Ryle's home. Of course, it is because if you're the chapter president of the Bandido's Motorcycle Club and your nickname's hot Tub, you're absolutely right. Home base is your home and all the chapter meetings happen in the hot Tub. Hope.

9:00 But is this guy, like the the the president of the entire club or is it just the local Was it just the local chapter because I have a luck Yeah? Sorry, If he's the president of the entire Bandidos organization, why are you living in Lubbock? I mean bigger at least Amarillo. No, I take LOVEOC over Amarillo because I mean you still have Texas Tech and a bunch of hot girls there. But uh, get out of West Texas. I mean, here's this is bad when Oklahoma City is a better option. Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong about that. Uh, this story reinforces it. They keep calling him the chapter president, so I don't I think he's just the local chapter of Lubbock.

9:53 I can't wait to see I can't wait to see this new series from from Tyler Sheridan Lubbock King. Yeah. Uh, it's just every episode begins and ends when a hot tub. All right now, Yeah, if he's the look, if he's the the chapter president of the Lubbock chapter, hot Tub seems like a fitting name, you know, trying to you're trying to go younger. You're enticing some college students. Yeah, come on in the water's fine. M Yeah. Yeah. Seventy four year old Stephen Glenn Ryles of Lubbock, also known as Hot Tub, charged by federal complaint on March second with possession with intent to distribute methmfetamine. Yeah, Chapter president of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club President, Hot Tub.

10:44 But you know what I wonder if this is a you know, is this normal in the Bandidos to have interesting nicknames? I mean like it's like this guy's just the chapter president. Is the overall president of the Bandidos? Like President's Room or is it President Glory Hall? Huh? I'm just spitballing here. I mean because usually if you're if you're a part of a drug organization, a cartel or something, usually I would expect your nickname to be something intimidating. Hot tub just sounds inviting. Well, you know, typically it's like, you know, you feel like you've earned the nickname. I mean, you know, sledgehammer or hacksaw or a killer. But what exactly did you do to get hot tub? You know?

11:39 I mean there again, we have questions and not a lot of answers. This is another great example of journalism failing us, because we need to know how did he get that nickname? Why is he called hot tub? Did he drop a hot tub on somebody who didn't pay up? Okay? Or is he just really into hot and wet stuff? I don't. Is this vice president time machine? God? I hope? So? I love that movie. You're in the Treehouse visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.

But first, uh, we don't typically cover a lot of sad stories in here, but this one, I just I just felt the need to do it for a couple of reasons. Sheriff the Basonhound was shot killed in his fenced yard in Alvaredo. Four year old Basst hound named Sheriff was shot three times and killed in his fenced yard in Alvaredo's Stonegate man Or neighborhood. Police and local family are seeking information and on this horrible crime that happened on February twenty fifth, and it happened between eleven am and four forty five pm. Investigators are

15:30 currently searching for a suspect and a motive family is offering a fifteen hundred dollars reward for any information that leads to an arrest in the case. They also said that there was another dog in the yard with Sheriff the Basst Hound that was left unharmed physically, but is nonetheless traumatized by the event. So it's yeah, it's a horrible story. It's sad, and I don't want to bring everybody down, but this is a very stark reminder to me. This is why I don't leave my animals outside unattended because I just don't trust people enough. I have heard stories about this just enough in my life that I don't trust leaving my my my babies outside unattended like this.

16:25 I mean, they had no idea what had happened. I think they were gone for the day. I mean, you're talking about a five hour window where they had no idea what happened, and they by the time they got home dog was already dead. I just I can't do it. And this is why, because I hear enough stories about people snatching people's dogs from their yard for god knows what reason. I try not to think about, and they never see him again, or like in this case, it's killed. I just I can't. It's I just I can't do it. I don't trust people enough. And this is also a reason why I have security cameras everywhere in my home. Outside my home, I want to see stuff, and if you don't, you should get them.

17:10 I mean I would be looking at the neighbors m M, especially having once had a basset hound. I they bark NonStop, and it's one of those things you have got to be cognizant of what's your dog doing. If you're leaving them outside when you're gone, and I to like, I mean, it's just a tragic story. And I'm with you. I mean, Jesus, I didn't leave Daisy outside. I was always afraid of hawk was gonna come down and just swiper away. And that's legitimate because she's she was a tiny, tiny thing. I mean you're talking three pounds easy hawk food. So yeah, like, like what was it? Was it a Geico commercial where it showed up like a like a hawk or an eagle or something picking up someone's dog. That legitimately frightened me for you, and for days ago, I was like, that's that's Tray's reality. He's got to be careful when he takes her outside.

18:07 Oh there's no I mean I've seen a couple of videos. Yeah, no, they that was always absolutely just uh because especially where I once lived, I witnessed a hawk come down and get a pigeon, and I'm like, my pigeons about days no uh uh. It sounds to me like when you when you got to be armed and you take your uh you take the dog out. And also in the area that this happened, I'm not familiar with that specific neighborhood of Alvaredo. But Alvaredo is parts uh you know, rural, you know, and parts kind of city. It's been a while since I've been there. I don't think it's changed that much.

18:48 It's oh, it's grown so dramatically. I don't know. I mean, I know it. I know it has subdivisions and things like that, and that's what this kind of sounds like where it happened. But it's still country enough because look, so many parts of DFW have wild animals, cougars, bobcats, coyotes, which is another reason why I don't let my pets stay outside completely unattended, because I don't know what's gonna happen. No, especially people are one thing, and other other animals are are something as. Well well, especially where I mean the last bar I ran Parliament, which is in the heart of Uptown, concrete Jungle.

19:34 There were multiple nights I walked out, you know, at three in the morning, and there are coyotes, coyotes in the streets in Uptown. In Uptown there you go, because you know, with everything that's developed, you now you have man and animal, uh, you know, cohabitating on a smaller piece of property, and so yeah, you never know where these animals are gonna come and all the I mean, hell, you see videos all time about new invaders, you know, whether it bobcats, coyotes, whatever. Yeah, I mean, my heart breaks these people and that is just And but you also when you're in the country, you see people do some awful stuff to animals. Whether it's just simply I hope, I hope this has lessened. But back in the day, it was very common where people would just you would see them throw a sack out of a vehicle on the side of the road and it's filled with kittens or puppies.

20:35 Yeah, yeah, very You're right, it's very that sort of thing is very common, or at least it used to be, like you said, in the country. I'm only going to share this story because as a positive outcome. There was a story last year. A couple of years ago, someone had taken a cat and put it in a closed suitcase and dumped it somewhere in I think it was like Irving or in some sort of like an industrial area somewhere in the mid Cities. I think the cat was fine, but it was in that suitcase for like two three days and they had video of the person like throwing the suitcase out. To this, I mean the fact that someone found that suitcase and the cat was still alive and meow, we can trying to claw through it.

21:24 They open it up and there's a cat in there. It's nothing short of a miracle that that cat survived and a passerby happened to come by and see it. So people do awful things to animals, and I hope something awful happens to the person that did this. But again, this is why I don't leave my animals unattendant, And this is why I have cameras around my house because if something happens, I want to see who did it so I can go in them. Because I'll tell you right now, I'm not entirely sure if this happened to me. If I came home and found my Bella dead shot. Uh, And that happens where I live too, by the way, because there's lots of stray dogs around and people and they'll talk about it there to shoot this dog. If someone shot my Bella, I'll have video of it. I may not necessarily contact the police directly if I have any inkling of who you are or where you are.

22:29 I don't really see a reason to involve them. That's as much as I'm going to say. And I'm I am with you. I don't mind going to prison for that, No, I will. I will be fine. I wouldn't mind helping you. Mm hmmm, Trey, you feel like a little vacation. Uh. But yeah, it's that that That's how I feel on the topic. So there you have it. Another word, that's just another reason for me. I guess the main reason I wanted to bring this up on the show not to be a downer, but in reality to try to get something positive out of it, is please invest in a couple of cameras for the exterior of your home and the interior. It doesn't have to be a ton of them. They're not even that expensive anymore. The Ring cameras are great. Get them please, because if whatever happens in or around your house, it'd be nice to have the evidence that you could hand over to the authorities or to me and Trey's Assassins Club to do something about it.

23:33 Well, and especially now that Ring has the whole program where you know your your cameras can help find lost lost pets. That's right, you told me about that with that Super Bowl ad they ran this year. Yeah, I mean it's brilliant of basically they haven't you know, if you sign up for it, if there's a lost or missing pet in your area, it will I'm guessing. I'm guessing using AI, it scans through your camera footage and if it sees, you know, a matching animal, it'll alert people. And Yeah, what a brilliant way to use the technology. That's the big Brother I want, Yeah, big Brother made to death. I want to find my dog, and if someone else's dog, I want them to find it too.

24:19 And that actually reminds me because I used to do the spots for DFW Security and they used to say, you know, in these things I had and I had their cameras, they had the AI technology that would discern person from animal. I can't remember because it's been a while, I can't remember if they could tell the difference between say like a mountain lion and you know, a coyote, but it would be like person animal whatever. But that reminded me of like you were saying, there were coyotes in Uptown right when we lived in Carrollton, our neighbor across the street. Our neighbors across the street, Car and Susan wonderful people, and car was Marine. Okay. One night, he hears something on the roof of their house. And they also have two children. At this time they were much younger, so they had two small children. Cars Marine.

25:09 He hears something on the roof, He does what most Marines do. He goes and gets his firearm, and then he goes hunting. He gets the exterior of the home and he goes around the back strategically to where he feels like it would be sort of from behind whatever is up there. Found he finds a mountain lion. Shortly after seeing the mountain lion, he sees two mountain lion cubs. So the noise that was happening was the mountain lion pawing at the skylight in their living room. Yeah, he didn't shoot him because no one was in danger at that point and he realized there wasn't an intruder or anything, so he didn't have to, you know, just anybody. But I think he contacted the city and maybe they set traps or something. But that's that's another great example of you don't know what's outside just because you think your animal is safe in the yard doesn't mean they necessarily are.

26:13 There are mountain lions out there, and they're hungry, they're bobcats, and they're coyotes and all these things, and not every house has has a marine in it. Yeah, I asked him. Though I asked him, I said, car were you were you a little disappointed it wasn't a person And he looked around and he's like, yeah, I guess he didn't get enough action in Desert Store.

28:29 that we want to go back and review. So if you wanted to join, watch that Revenge of the Nerds episode. Suggest others to us. Hot Tub time Machine, though I don't know if that's old enough yet for us to need to go back and review, and honestly, I'm pretty sure that's gonna hold up. I have seen that movie, I believe three times, and now I know I have not seen it in many years. But when I try to think about a movie that was so surprising, I don't know if I can think of a movie that was a bigger surprise than Hot Tub Time Machine. It was really really good and not good in my sense where like it's so bad it's good. I mean, it's actually a legitimately good movie with an idiotic title. But it made sense and it fit and I love that movie for my weird.

29:27 I don't know. I've never seen it all the way through. Do you hate it? No? And why haven't you finished it? You need to know the end to get so touching. Like it's just I've caught bits and pieces of it. I've never sat down and watched it, So I'll put that on my list of do things. Dude, watch the Hot Tub Time Machine. I just watched. I just watched the Equalizer movies. I just got chills. I love those movies. Oh my god, I love those movies. Congratulations Tray for having seen the equal Oh my god. But we got to talk. I mean, don't get me wrong, I want to talk about the Taco Bell fifty K and we will. But I really this needs to be celebrated. Trey, you have finally reached manhood having seen the Equalizer movies starring Denzel Washington.

30:19 Yeah, love Denzel that they were great movies. Turns out there's more than one use for a shot glass. Yeah, I mean you talk about creative ways to kill people, you know, a plus on that. Yeah, yeah, as it happened one. So I still and this is this is my age, Like I still have direct TV. I like having I like thumbing through channels. It's just I like hitting the guide and just seeing what's on. The number of times I will sit down, I'll watch something thing with the commercials that I could go on another platform and watch without.

31:04 Just the cable guide. Was the original doom scrolling? Yeah, just and you know what, when you get to when you get to the music channels, you speed through those and start back up channel two at the beginning and go through it again because maybe in the last four minutes something new has slid in there that will catch your eye and that's what you want to watch. It really was the original doom scrolling. Yeah. So I watched Uh happen to catch that one? And then Uh, Brandy was here and she had seen the first one. She's like, no, it's really good. And then you know it's like, all right, well, then we'll watch the second one, and then night later it was just the third one. Did you did you fall into a an Equalizer marathon on one of the channels or did you just watch the first one because it was on and then you went to a streaming deal?

31:51 So first one was on, then then it was a marathon because then the second one was coming on, and then Brandy's like, hey, why don't we you see if we find it without commercials. It's like, okay, uh, I love you, baby, Yes, let's let's let's watch Denzel Washington kill everyone for like eight hours. That sounds great. Yeah? First two great? Third good? Not. Yeah. They they could have done more. They could, they could. That's one of the few movies I'll say it could have been thirty minutes longer and they could have gone into some more character development and I would have enjoyed it. Uh, but it was still good.

32:35 That I still remember in that first uh, the first time when you see him unleashed in the first equalizer, just like, god damn Denzel. Very gratifying. Yeah, and then when he sits down with that one, dude, as he's bleeding out and he's like, you got about sixty seconds. I'm gonna tell you all the all the ways that you could have lived, but you're gonna die. I'm gonna talk you through great movies. Okay, So, Hot Tub Time Machine is probably the most surprised I've ever been from a movie. My expectations were extremely low, and obviously it's surpassing.

33:19 But part of our Treehouse reviews. I'm curious if you've ever seen the movie Ski Patrol. This is a movie I've seen a few times, and I don't think i've seen it this century, but I remember certain parts of it very well. It's very much a B comedy kind of a thing. Do you remember Summer School with Mark Harmon? Yes? Do you remember the guys who wanted to be the horror filmmakers? One of those guys is one of the is also in Ski Patrol. It's a I'm sure it's a bad movie, and it's another one of those that I like that is just silly. But if you haven't, I need defined it to rewatch it myself. I'm just curious to know if anyone else has seen it, and if so, if they like it as much as I remember liking it.

34:07 I'm I am ninety percent sure I saw that back in the day. Uh, but yeah, I would have to go back and take a look at and but yeah, that'd be worth a watch. Summer school. God, that would be interesting. That's actually a good one too. See. There's so many great options for Treehouse reviews. So if you want to get in on the Treehouse Reviews party, join Treehouse Plus today, Patreon dot com, slash Treehouse on Air. There was another one that was like a like a snow border type movie.

34:49 I'm trying to remember the name of it. It was with Zach Galifanakis. I think it was might have been one of his first movies. And I think that's the one where he got his he got his junk caught in a hot a jet. Oh, I can't remember the name of it. I'll think of it later. I'll look it up. That was a good one too. Anyway, I've seen too many movies and I've shared too much. The Taco Bell fifty k Oh Boy one second. The Taco Bell fifty k is back for some reason. It's a fast food ultra marathon and you can run it in November.

35:31 The Taco Bell fifty K, the novelty ultra marathon, whose participants run thirty one point oh seven miles while eating at least nine Taco Bell menu items, will be back in twenty twenty six. Why because apparently people really liked it. Last fall, the race drew around five hundred runners, four hundred and twenty nine of whom finished. One finisher was nine years old. I want to know what happened to the people that didn't finish, and why did the Taco Bell get to them? You know? This year the race will be held on November twenty seventh, the day after Thanksgiving. The website urges anyone who is interested in trying out something really stupid to sign up. Props to Taco Bell for leaning into that, by the way, and they promise survivors earn eternal glory and maybe heartburn. Completing the Taco Bell fifty k takes between four and eleven hours, which includes stops at nine Taco Bell locations across DC and Virginia.

36:34 By the fourth stop, runners must have eaten at least one crunch Wrap Supreme or Chaloupa Supreme. By the eighth runners must have also eaten a Nacho's bel grande or a burrito supreme. Pepto bismal is banned. Reports of nausea are about. Oh so they they pick there are required. I was and it said he had a nine menu item. I was like, okay, uh, you know, if you're running a race, you get a soft taco you could you know, it's carbs and energy. But all right, if you're talking about burrito supremes.

37:15 And crunch traps, man, that's serious menu items right there. A local endurance athlete, Mike Wardion said it's back and maybe bigger than ever. He's one of the events organizers. He called last year's race a roving party and said he loved the community, particularly the number of first time ultra marathoners for whom this was an on ramp to the sport. Co organizer Phil Hargus texted that despite the taco bell fifty k being a terrible idea, this year's race will be a pinata of fun and deliciousness. There's also a charity component. Last year had benefited the DC Chapter of Achilles International. Not sure who it's benefiting this year, but at least they got a charity tie in there.

38:03 So if you're gonna have the runners sports. At least it'll be for a good cause. I mean, and the sponsorship ideas seem endless, I mean, especially for charity. Depends stands out. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't. I think that would be a required underneath your shorts there. Yeah. I mean I I've run a ten k, I never a marathon, just absolutely. I I don't really like driving twenty six miles, much less running. Spoken like a true middle aged demand that's outside my bubble.

38:46 I'm not driving it. I'm sure as hell not gonna run it. Well even I mean even before, I mean, if I had two good knees, I just know, an ultra marathon sounds just positively dreadful. It's important to remember that the first guy that ever ran the marathon died. I'm going to let his sacrifice be my lesson learned, which is I'm not gonna do that. But it is amazing the world we live in because a food that was once really most associated with either being drunk or high is now sponsoring a LTI marathon.

39:33 Go figure. At least they do call it a terrible idea, but they do it anyway. And and and also, I mean, look at it this way. If you're in the middle of a really long book, that. Could be their new slogan. We're a terrible idea, but do it anyway. Yeah, i'd still I'm lining up h truth and advertising. Yeah we're a terrible idea the next morning, but at the moment.
