Speaker 2 (00:26):
Haha, you suck. It is time to leave your worries
(00:56):
outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel
Mallley along with Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Thank you
for joining us today. Today is like our Oscars. We
specialize in stupid here inside the Treehouse. So this is
(01:18):
like our Oscars. The twenty twenty five IG Nobel Prizes
are here. The IG Nobel Prize is like the Nobel Prize,
but it's for the weirdest and dumbest things science did
over the last year. So right up our alley and
this shows.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So it's not the Darwin Awards. This is stupid science.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yes, So the IG Nobel Prizes are very much an
offshoot of the Nobel Prizes some of the same categories
just stupid, which is where, which is where we live.
The Darwin Awards are separate for just general stupidity, this
is stupid the name of science. This year's winners include,
(02:06):
in no particular order, The Nutrition Prize was awarded to
researchers who determined rainbow lizards prefer four cheese to other
varieties of pizza. And yes, pineapple pizza was included in
the study. So not only was this study so specific
(02:29):
they went through various forms of pizza, but it was
so specific that it was limited to just one type
of lizard, the rainbow lizard. I don't think it involved
any other type of lizard.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Which also means somebody funded the study. Mm hm.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's and that's what's beautiful about these things is someone's
going to fund them and all, and there's reasons for it,
legitimate reasons for it. We're just not interested in those
legitimate reasons. We're really interested in the surface level stupid.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, So that just it makes me believe that there's
like a bunch of like scientists in a room that
just got really good weed that they just developed. Right,
They're like, what can we do you want to feed
a lizard pizza? Like, yeah, what kind of lizards a rainbow.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And what kind of pizza?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
All of them? And I like how even rainbow lizards
know that pineapple doesn't go on a pizza. I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Did they Did they try a supreme but.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Possibly pan thin crust, yeah, hand tossed Chicago Detroit dish, Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Detroit style, Oh, the Detroit style? Or did they go
super sacrilegious like cheeseburger pizzas or Mexican pizzas.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
They was going to find out these rainbow lizards were
from Indian and vegetarian, so we'll just take the four
cheese please, please, That's that's all we want.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So yeah, I mean that's just that's just the Nutrition Prize.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
We've also got the Pediatrics Prize. The Pediatrics ig Nobel
Prize went to a team who looked into what a
nursing infant experiences when their mother eats garlic. They could
have gone a number of directions on that, like they
could have gone more severe on what the mother was
(04:36):
eating to see the effects of the child, like Dave's
insanity sauce for something super spicy, or like Raja's mom's vindaloo. Yeah,
but they just they just went garlic and what was.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Do we have the results of that of the study?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Again, you were focusing too much on the science side
of this. I have only dug so deep to get
to the surface of the actual prize winner. I don't
know the point of their research because if I did,
that would ruin the fun. Yeah, I just want to
know if it's like, you know, infant winced when garlic minced.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You know, I don't know. I just want to know
if there was a little doctor suicism in there.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Or maybe or maybe tasting the garlic, the baby, you know,
went up and flames and that's how they found out.
Maybe it was a vampire.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, that's what I was baby vampires.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Maybe that's what it was. You had to test to see.
It's the new test because according to the federal government,
they don't want to test babies for stuff as much anymore.
So now you need more home remedies to test to
see if your baby has vampirism. So you gotta you
gotta find creative ways to do it. Autism, autism, vampisms.
(05:50):
You know, RFK is not giving you a vaccine for
that just not gonna happen. You gotta figure that out
on your own.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Just drive a stake through your kid's hard.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, what do you find out there? Because that would
kill a human. Also, I don't think any of us
elected any president to nominate Blade as the head of
that department.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I would much rather have Blade sling, So yes, he's.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
The Chemistry Prize went to experiments analyzing whether eating teflon
would be an effective way to increase food volume without
extra calories.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Say how this.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Has real world implications? It just sounds horrifically dangerous?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Can can you read that again?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Happily? The twenty twenty five Ignobil Prize for Chemistry went
to experiments alyzing whether eating teflon would be an effective
way to increase food volume without extra calories. This is
how bad the obesity epidemic is in our country.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
So okay, yeah, again you're going to science side. I'm
going to the science side of it because that's just
my Indian nerdy brain, Like it could mean if they
if it's like teflon particles attached to food to increase
the weight of that food without adding calories. Kind of uh,
sounds like a lot of cancer but sounds brilliant at
(07:34):
the same time.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Cancer, but a six pack.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'm full, but I have tumors.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, or it just coats the stomach where you know,
they can't absorb all the fat, and then yeah, immediate
weight loss.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
It just slides right through.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It's like it's like remember when they came out with olestra.
Oh yeah, oh yes, oh yeah on.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
The bag everyone got leaky butt syndrome.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, on the bag it was like it caused anal leakage.
And then it's like recommended to wear dark jeans. I mean,
trus I like potato chips, but I don't putting on
a pound or two if I'm not a duke in
my pants.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, there's a hell of a trade off there.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, it was funny. Fat free chips are, but you
can't eat a lot of them because, no.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That ruins the whole point of it. The whole point
was to be able to eat until we throw up.
That's that's what we want, right, We want to eat
as much as we want until we're full and nauseous,
Like we do want Thanksgiving practically and not have to
worry about any you know, caloric consequences.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, I tried it. I tried. I tried the illustra once.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I think we all did at least once. Oh I
just when I say two thousands were a crazy time.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm just saying I'm very Johnny dangerously when I say
once once. Yeah, because I ate with my with my sandwich,
I was like, you know what, we got fat free chips, baby,
We're living in the future. I got a handful of them,
just like I would do with my regular sandwich, you know.
And a couple of hours later I was like, hmm,
(09:24):
that is a rough feeling there. And then after that
I was like, oh no, I don't need to go
in for an oil change every now and again.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I'm telling you, man, the early two thousands were a
hell of a time. I mean, you had to go
around wearing dark jeans in case you ate too much
o Lester fat free chips and had the anal leakage,
and we were still trying to decide which DVD for
Matt was going to win the day. Was it going
to be Blu Ray or the HD DVD ended up
being Blue Ray?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
M hm, So Teflon doesn't surprise me. I'm thinking, like,
if Olestra gave you wiky butt syndrome. What does teflon
give you.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Hard shiny guts? I mean, if you think about it
from a logical standpoint, I get it right. Teflon is slick, right.
I mean we use it for our cooking surfaces already,
So it stands to reason if food doesn't stick to
your teflon coated cooking pan, then what would happen if
(10:29):
your insides were teflon lined? Therefore, the food would not stick,
And like Trey said, your body becomes an intestinal luge.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yes, but it also wouldn't digest, so you're just gonna
eat it and about the same thing, but no calories
and dead in eight days.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
A nonstick colon sounds really dangerous.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Eight three three cook DFW. That's the phone number you
need to contact Daniel Cook to get your free roof
inspection eight three to three cook DFW the website cookdfw
dot com. Now is one of the best times of
the year to get that roof inspection scheduled because it's
not quite as hot. Storm season is waning some and
(11:34):
Daniel and his team have even more time to go
to your home and take a look around to see
the things you may need or even may want.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Right Dan, we talk about this every year.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
This is the perfect opportunity for you to take some time,
call us out, have us look over the roof, your
your it's your windows, your screens, you know, just do
a good once over on your property because you're not
looking at it the same way we do. And so
when we get up there, we're looking at penetration points, flashings.
We're looking at the common wind areas that are going
(12:07):
to get blown off your hips, the edges of your eves.
You know, these are the things that we look at
as professionals that you may never see because you're looking
at a house and all.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
You see is the house. We see the details, and
so that's.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Why it's important.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
It's a perfect time we can come out, do some
repairs if necessary, reseal some items, you know, get you ready,
because believe it or not, here we go. We're fixing
to b in fall and winners right around the corner.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So don't yeah, yeah, keep that in mind. Because Daniel
Cook is sort of like Game of Thrones holding that sword,
looking out into the wilderness and saying brace yourselves. Winter
is coming and he wants to help you get ready
for all that and fix all those imperfections. Now eight
three three cook DFW or that website cookdfw dot com.

This segment of the Treehouse is brought to you by
cook Dfwroofing and Restoration for your free roof inspection which
many people in Colin and Didn't County need. Right now.
Things are the storms that have blown through and all
the hail that came with it. Eight three three cook DFW.

(13:38):
it's absolutely free. They'll be honest with you about what
they find. A three three cook DFW. Right now, back
inside the Treehouse, we are going through the twenty twenty
five ig No Bell Prizes for all the stupidities science
offered up over the last year. So far we have
gone through the Pediatrics Prize, the Biology Prize. All right, No,
(14:01):
we have not done the Biology Prize. We've done the
chemistry prize, the pediatrics prize, and the nutrition prize. Now
let's do the biology prize that went to a study
that determined cows painted with zebra like stripes were fifty
percent less likely to be bitten by flies.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Hmm. Now that's an interesting study, I can.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I mean so a couple layers to that. One, first
of which is they only wanted to see if they
were being bitten by flies, not by anything else. They're
only focused on the flies for some reason, okay. And
then the other part was only the cows that they
had painted to look like zebras.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yes, and that leads me to believe it had more
to do with the paint than the than the configuration
of the stripes. That cow smells like paint, let's not
bite it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And maybe it's maybe that study was not so much
geared towards learning about the cow portion of receiving the
fly bite, but maybe learning about why flies bite at all.
So maybe that's it.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, maybe the flies were like, oh, stripes is not
a good look on you, and they went for the
other ones.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Not after labor day.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
He should have done vertical it's more so. This year's
Literature prize from the IG Nobel Prizes was awarded posthumously
to a man for persistently recording and analyzing the rate
of growth of one of his fingernails over a period
(15:44):
of thirty five years. I feel like that's more of
a lifetime achievement award?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Is it achievement?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I feel like it's more of a lifetime award?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Is Jerry holding something out for us?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I mean, I'm kind of feeling like since Jerry's kept
all of his toenail and fingernail clippings over the past
twenty years, he's kind of going over the top with it.
This guy got a Nick Egg Nobel Prize just on
one nail. Maybe Jerry's doing too much for science.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, I don't know how. How did convince a spouse
that that's what you're gonna do for? Hey, do you need?
You need to get a job? I got one. What
are you gonna do? I'm gonna record my fingernail. It's like,
you need to leave this house. I'm keeping the kids.
You need to stop drinking and leave this house.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, Terry, I hate to break it to you, but
I don't think that's a full time job. I mean
that's really one note per day.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
That's growing, Yeah, not growing.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You just imagine what the door jams in his house must.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Look like my pinky nails all grown up the first
day of school.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Oh man, all right, back to it. The ig Nobel Prizes,
the Engineering Design Prize went to a team who researched
how foul smelling shoes affect the good experience of using
a shoe rack.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
There's a there's a there's a good experience to using
the shoe rack. It's just convenience.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, I guess they want to measure the quality of
experience you have with your shoe rack.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Now would you go, let's say, ad ugly.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I don't even know what to say to that. I mean,
was it sponsored by odor eaters?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
What what I've.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Or even Nordstrom rack?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
But is it like okay, so if it's a public thing,
like would you put your shoes next to someone's that
smelled really awful? Or would you put them in a
different part of the rat I think that's what maybe
they were going for.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I don't wait, yeah, because in the public shoe rack
like so like in like huh, culturally, yeah, culturally, like
if you go to my temple, like there's you can
go inside with shoes on.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, I always new like that, but I've okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Most of us whites keep our shoes on and the
rest of the world is thankful for it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I knew my like I hadn't met my neighbors in ages,
just you know, different timings. And I guess they were
having a birthday party and I was I walked outside,
man my door, and there was all these shoes outside.
I was like, ah, I've got Indian neighbors.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Could also could also be another Asian because my Vietnamese brother,
I mean he takes his shoes off, you know, every
time by the front door.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
As well, and that that is a good practice because
when you get in the habit of it, you realize
how much dirt you track in with your shoes.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Is it a cleanliness thing raj in the Indian culture
or is it something else?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
It's cleanliness, gotcha, it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah. The downside though, is then you have really skanky feet.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well you keep your socks on, I would hope, like.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Nasty socks. But yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Well, I mean you're not dragging dirt into the house,
so you have to I mean, and you clean your floors,
so when you take your shoes off, it's at the
door and you come inside.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The floors, or you have house shoes.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Now I'm with Trey, I think at that point and
I need to have the house shoes. I need something
on there because after I don't like running around completely
barefoot because then I just feel like I'm just Maybe
it's because we have pets, so if I go barefoot
for more than five minutes, I feel like I'm just
covered in you know, pet hair and them crummies and things.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Isn't isn't barefoot? Just the Oklahoma house shoe.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I don't know if you noticed, but you made Trey
and I both do our Robert de Nero impression at
the same time.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, and Arkansas it's the Oklahoma house shoe and the
razorback flip flop, or just call it the Britney's.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I mean, only if you're going into a public restroom. Yeah,
you know. Uh yeah, So it's just cultural, like we
don't we don't want to drag in dirt and bacteria
and stuff like that. Also, when when the pandemic hit numbers,
like you got to wash your hands. I'm like, that
was the first thing when we came home from school.
My mom's first thing it was wash her hands. So
that was automatically a thing that I just did always. Anyways,
(21:02):
gotcha yep.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
The Aviation Prize from the ig Nobel Prize Board went
to research on how alcohol ingestion affects the ability of
bats to fly and ecolate or echo locate, or if
you read it another way, e chocolate. The Aviation Prize
went to research on how alcohol ingestion affects the ability
(21:27):
of bats to fly and echo locates. So someone studied
drunk bats and I applaud them for it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Yeah, I would like to get.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, I feel like there's some risk involved there.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I just want to hear the drunk conversation with it.
Between So there's a batman, right, doesn't that piss you
off a little bit? Was the cultural appropriation?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
And the battle looks up from his the bat looks
up from his pint glass and cause you're right, I
never thought about that.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
You're never going to be a batman, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And then the researcher has to make a special note.
Alcohol makes bats Talk did not expect this.

(24:18):
is one of my favorite teases that I've written in
a while. Okay, which in itself is a tease. Is
this rock bottom or the pinnacle of achievement? Charlie Sheen
did so much cocaine that he was cut off by
a Mexican drug cartel. So once again I ask you,
is this rock bottom or the pinnacle of achievement?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
And the Lifetime Achievement award goes to Charlie Schuen's nospitals.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It reminds me of the John Pinnett bit, the stand
up comedian who was overweight, and how the Chinese buffet
hated it when he showed up because they would mountain
say you go home, you've been here for hour. That's
what this reminds me of. Except Charlie Sheen walks up
to the Mexican drug cartel and they're like, no, no,
we're out, get go away.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah that's the only Yeah, I was gonna say. The
only reason they cut you off is if they're running low.
So it's like, we can't give you any more, but
we got to give other There's millions of other people
that need it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
And it is pretty bad. It is really bad if
you do so much cocaine that you turn the Mexican
cartel into socialists, like we need to save some for
everybody else.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
They find Jesus, we're just gonna stop. We're gonna turn
this into a church. Literally, hear the devil.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You know what. We've realized that what we're doing is
not so good. We're all ready to turn our lives around.
The thousands of us.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
We're not producing this anymore. We're gonna do more for
the community in Christ. That's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
This this highway adopted by the Mexican drug cartel, the
cartel highway has never been cleaner. And you know they
can go all day.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
That's their beef now is who's got the cleanest highways? Cineloa,
you know out there.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Dragging, They're gonna they're gonna beat out those girl scouts.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I'll tell you that it's l Chapel now instead of.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Oh no, this really is stunning. So Charlie Sheen is
in the middle of his uh press tour for his
new book, The Book of Sheen, and in a recent
interview with an Australian reporter, he dropped the bombshell that
he was once cut off by the Mexican cartel. He
(26:47):
is sixty years old. He sat down with Channel nine
journalist Amelia Adams on the Current Affairs program Sixty Minutes
as he hits the publicity trail for his new tell
all book, The Book of Sheen and the Netflix documentary
Charlie Sheen. The star revealed that at the height of
his drug use, he was cut off from his drug
supply by a Mexican cartel. The reporter, Emelia Adams, stunned,
(27:13):
asked the cartel cut you off? Sheen responded they did.
They had never seen someone acquiring that kind of weight
and so the only other people that they were delivering
that kind of weight to were dealers and they thought
I was dealing on the side.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
He's like, nope, straight into my nose.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah uh, and then I'll throw this in as well.
She then asked Sheen if rumors that he once smoked
seven grams of crack cocaine in one sitting were true.
His response, well, we never like took one out of
the pipe and put it on a scale. However, yeah,
that was the that was the amount that was cooked
to get it into that form. I remember at one
(27:54):
point the Jaws moment saying we're gonna need a bigger pipe.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yes, So and if he wants the Netflix series, he
talks about it. He's got his buddy that was his
bodyguarden that also partied with him and got drugs for him,
and he's like, it's one hundred percent sury. He goes,
I watched it with my own eyes and almost and
it's a big dude. And he wasn't even Charlie's bodyguard
at one point. He was just there to hang out
and Charlie would pay him like ten thousand dollars or
twenty thousand dollars just to party with him, because they
(28:23):
would stay up for nights in a row and it
not even the allure of twenty grand could keep this
guy coming back, because he at one point, he's like
even his wife, who knew what he did for a living,
was like, dude, you got to stop. And he's like,
I have to. I can't keep going over there. He's
like it's too much. He's like, I got to he
(28:43):
because I would sleep for a week after partying with
Charlie Seen, and he's still going. Jesus.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, there was another story I saw. I think this
was from his book that in the early nineties, maybe
around ninety ninety one, somewhere in that time frame, he
had his core group at the time he was partying
with and the only person that apparently gave him a
run for his money as far as the amount of
(29:13):
cocaine and drugs and alcohol ingested was Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
And I don't know if that was his first intervention
or just one of but it was around that time
when he was partying with Nick Cage and he's like, uh,
then they had an intervention and he was like, yeah,
maybe now's a good time to stop because Nick Cage
was doing more than him, which yeah, shocking.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
That was that was the that was in the documentary
as well, because it was his dad's birthday and they
called him at like nine o'clock in the morning, like
we're doing dad's birthday early, and they're like now, and
he showed up and it was an intervention. It wasn't
even it was on his dad's birthday, but it was. Yeah.
And if you can outparty Nicholas Cage, like, Nicholas Cage
(29:59):
is the reason we have Johnny Depp because Johnny Depp
was in a band back in the day and they
put him Nicholas Cage was a buddy and they partied
too hard one night and n Nicholas Cage was too
hungover to go to an audition and sent Johnny Depp
instead and it was Mike Mare on Numstreet. Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, well, you know, sometimes say yes to the drugs.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah. See, that's what I'm saying. It's like your six
degrees of separation from Ma Sheene gave us Johnny Depp.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, that's uh. I mean, just the realization that must
have sunk in or maybe it didn't with Charlie Sheen
when your dealer tells you, but it's not just a dealer.
I mean, it's an entire network. It's a car tell
that says, we think you need to pump the brakes
of bit here.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
But yeah, that order has to come from the top,
you know. So it's like the head of this, like
let's say it's the Cineloa's like, it's the head is
like who is this?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Like the actor. It's like trying to buy a used
car at a at a at a at a lot
at a car lot and the salesman's like, I don't know,
I need to go check with the manager on this one.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
You've bought too many of these.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
They're making for hell a T shirt like Pablo Escobar
cut me off and that's got it. You know, you
think about it, that's got to be a pretty because
you think about the brat Pack era where they all
partied their ass off.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Oh yeah, Rob Low, Emelia Astevez.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, Christian Slater like all those, Like I mean there's
some heavy hitters in there.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah, River Phoenix rip.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yeah. But the brat Pack were like they retired early,
Like if you look like Boblow like in the late nineties,
was like, yeah, I'm not I can't. I can't function
like this anymore. And she's like, cool, I got you.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, just just give me his. I'll take it. Just
give me his. And really, if you think about it,
because like with Charlie Sheen, he's he his life has
been in cycles like reading a very reading various stories
about the book and and hearing things from the documentary.
It's he does this every few years. He's like the Olympics.
He'll do a bunch of drugs, then he'll get clean
(32:14):
for a little while, and then they'll come back around again,
and then he's standing on top of the podium with
white stuff all over his face.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
John Cryer said, exactly what you just said at the
really end. Yeah, at the very end of the it's
not a spoiler. John Cryer doesn't like him. He's just like,
this is what he does. He does all this horrific stuff,
and then he stops, and they give him a project
that makes him millions and millions of dollars, and he
does it again, and then he stops and then he
(32:41):
can give him another one. And now they've given him
a book and let's just wait and see. That's kind
of his attitude.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, I was. I saw an interview with Cryer there
ask him about it, and I forgot how he put it,
But basically it was like, you know, he goes maybe
one day, but he had no interest in talking to
Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yeah, I mean he says it in the same thing
he says it that he's like, but he goes, I
got to give him credit. He was like, he never
missed a rehears Like in the beginning, he never missed
a rehearsal, and he always knew his lines. Everything was great,
easy to work with on the set, hard to deal
with off And then he's like, I knew it was
really bad when he started missing like rehearsals, but he
(33:25):
would show up on the day of the shoot and
know every single thing had his timing was still on.
And he's like, so, I gotta give him credit for that.
But that's about it.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
As someone who's worked in an environment very similar to this,
Eventually they start flubbing their lines, but that's also in
conjunction with not showing up, or if they do show
up it's laughably late, and just doing the absolute bear
(34:00):
minimum so they could get through whatever is required of
them that particular day and make sure they're back in
the car by seven oh five. Next to a handle
of Tito's I may I may have said too much,
but whatever. And so it's interesting because like the John
Cryer sentiment, I understand that because like you don't necessarily
(34:23):
have to be mad at the person. But there's all
these enablers that make this situation so volatile. And eventually
Charlie Sheen got axed from the show, and they're like,
this is it. We're done, We're not going to entertain
the Shenanigans any longer. It doesn't always work out that way, Yeah,
(34:46):
Sometimes they just keep dragging them through or other people
drag them along, and then eventually they die. So the
fact that and I'm with you, the fact that Charlie
Sheen is a live at all is stunning.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, even his doctors said that the like we can't
you're you're cut from a different cloth. But Crier was
talking about he's like the only reason that he got
acted from that show is when he called out Chuck Lory.
That's it. He's like, if he wouldn't have said anything
about him, but he was in his you know, crop
fueled tiger blood phase. But if he's like, had he
not said anything about him, it would have been fine.
(35:23):
He was making two million dollars an episode. He was like,
and Crier's like, I was making a third of that.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
You know why because in those situations, they have a
tendency to throw money at problems because if you throw
money at a problem, then they don't have to worry
about it. You just put it on somebody else. Yes,
a production crew, the co stars, the directors, all the
people at the deal with that on the daily basis.
It's like, Hey, I gave him much money, he should
be happy. Well, of course, you just gave him a
(35:49):
bunch of money to shove up his nose.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Yeah, and that and that's what we call Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
It really is. Definitely really it really really is. But yeah,
I mean, if you think about it, the fact that
Charlie Sheen is still alive and none of these scientists
that have won prizes from the ig Nobel Prize have
studied him at length like they should. Because if you're
doing studies on drunk bats and what they do, how
(36:16):
are you not doing this with Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, the study should be the effects of cocaine, the
effect of what happens with cocaine when Charlie Sheen happens
to cocaine.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
That's right. What are the effects of Charlie Sheen on cocaine?
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I mean, yeah, that's an economic study.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Also, yeah, you could win an actual Nobel Prize in
Science and economics if you can figure out how it
is Charlie Sheen does so much drugs.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Hey, Columbia, want to increase your GDP and more inflation,
here's one buddy, Charlie Sheen. That's right.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Look, he's gonna fix the economy. It may not be
the economy you want in your schools, but we're all
gonna be driving Laborghinis, even the kids in school. That's right.
The pickup line's gonna be baller.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
It's amazing. Though it's messed up as he was, he
still didn't end up with two batmobiles.

Haha, you suck. It is time to leave your worries
(00:56):
outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel
Mallley along with Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Thank you
for joining us today. Today is like our Oscars. We
specialize in stupid here inside the Treehouse. So this is
(01:18):
like our Oscars. The twenty twenty five IG Nobel Prizes
are here. The IG Nobel Prize is like the Nobel Prize,
but it's for the weirdest and dumbest things science did
over the last year. So right up our alley and
this shows.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So it's not the Darwin Awards. This is stupid science.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yes, So the IG Nobel Prizes are very much an
offshoot of the Nobel Prizes some of the same categories
just stupid, which is where, which is where we live.
The Darwin Awards are separate for just general stupidity, this
is stupid the name of science. This year's winners include,
(02:06):
in no particular order, The Nutrition Prize was awarded to
researchers who determined rainbow lizards prefer four cheese to other
varieties of pizza. And yes, pineapple pizza was included in
the study. So not only was this study so specific
(02:29):
they went through various forms of pizza, but it was
so specific that it was limited to just one type
of lizard, the rainbow lizard. I don't think it involved
any other type of lizard.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Which also means somebody funded the study. Mm hm.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's and that's what's beautiful about these things is someone's
going to fund them and all, and there's reasons for it,
legitimate reasons for it. We're just not interested in those
legitimate reasons. We're really interested in the surface level stupid.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, So that just it makes me believe that there's
like a bunch of like scientists in a room that
just got really good weed that they just developed. Right,
They're like, what can we do you want to feed
a lizard pizza? Like, yeah, what kind of lizards a rainbow.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And what kind of pizza?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
All of them? And I like how even rainbow lizards
know that pineapple doesn't go on a pizza. I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Did they Did they try a supreme but.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Possibly pan thin crust, yeah, hand tossed Chicago Detroit dish, Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Detroit style, Oh, the Detroit style? Or did they go
super sacrilegious like cheeseburger pizzas or Mexican pizzas.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
They was going to find out these rainbow lizards were
from Indian and vegetarian, so we'll just take the four
cheese please, please, That's that's all we want.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So yeah, I mean that's just that's just the Nutrition Prize.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
We've also got the Pediatrics Prize. The Pediatrics ig Nobel
Prize went to a team who looked into what a
nursing infant experiences when their mother eats garlic. They could
have gone a number of directions on that, like they
could have gone more severe on what the mother was
(04:36):
eating to see the effects of the child, like Dave's
insanity sauce for something super spicy, or like Raja's mom's vindaloo. Yeah,
but they just they just went garlic and what was.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Do we have the results of that of the study?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Again, you were focusing too much on the science side
of this. I have only dug so deep to get
to the surface of the actual prize winner. I don't
know the point of their research because if I did,
that would ruin the fun. Yeah, I just want to
know if it's like, you know, infant winced when garlic minced.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You know, I don't know. I just want to know
if there was a little doctor suicism in there.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Or maybe or maybe tasting the garlic, the baby, you know,
went up and flames and that's how they found out.
Maybe it was a vampire.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, that's what I was baby vampires.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Maybe that's what it was. You had to test to see.
It's the new test because according to the federal government,
they don't want to test babies for stuff as much anymore.
So now you need more home remedies to test to
see if your baby has vampirism. So you gotta you
gotta find creative ways to do it. Autism, autism, vampisms.
(05:50):
You know, RFK is not giving you a vaccine for
that just not gonna happen. You gotta figure that out
on your own.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Just drive a stake through your kid's hard.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, what do you find out there? Because that would
kill a human. Also, I don't think any of us
elected any president to nominate Blade as the head of
that department.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I would much rather have Blade sling, So yes, he's.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
The Chemistry Prize went to experiments analyzing whether eating teflon
would be an effective way to increase food volume without
extra calories.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Say how this.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Has real world implications? It just sounds horrifically dangerous?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Can can you read that again?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Happily? The twenty twenty five Ignobil Prize for Chemistry went
to experiments alyzing whether eating teflon would be an effective
way to increase food volume without extra calories. This is
how bad the obesity epidemic is in our country.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
So okay, yeah, again you're going to science side. I'm
going to the science side of it because that's just
my Indian nerdy brain, Like it could mean if they
if it's like teflon particles attached to food to increase
the weight of that food without adding calories. Kind of uh,
sounds like a lot of cancer but sounds brilliant at
(07:34):
the same time.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Cancer, but a six pack.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'm full, but I have tumors.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, or it just coats the stomach where you know,
they can't absorb all the fat, and then yeah, immediate
weight loss.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
It just slides right through.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It's like it's like remember when they came out with olestra.
Oh yeah, oh yes, oh yeah on.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
The bag everyone got leaky butt syndrome.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, on the bag it was like it caused anal leakage.
And then it's like recommended to wear dark jeans. I mean,
trus I like potato chips, but I don't putting on
a pound or two if I'm not a duke in
my pants.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, there's a hell of a trade off there.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, it was funny. Fat free chips are, but you
can't eat a lot of them because, no.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That ruins the whole point of it. The whole point
was to be able to eat until we throw up.
That's that's what we want, right, We want to eat
as much as we want until we're full and nauseous,
Like we do want Thanksgiving practically and not have to
worry about any you know, caloric consequences.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, I tried it. I tried. I tried the illustra once.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I think we all did at least once. Oh I
just when I say two thousands were a crazy time.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm just saying I'm very Johnny dangerously when I say
once once. Yeah, because I ate with my with my sandwich,
I was like, you know what, we got fat free chips, baby,
We're living in the future. I got a handful of them,
just like I would do with my regular sandwich, you know.
And a couple of hours later I was like, hmm,
(09:24):
that is a rough feeling there. And then after that
I was like, oh no, I don't need to go
in for an oil change every now and again.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I'm telling you, man, the early two thousands were a
hell of a time. I mean, you had to go
around wearing dark jeans in case you ate too much
o Lester fat free chips and had the anal leakage,
and we were still trying to decide which DVD for
Matt was going to win the day. Was it going
to be Blu Ray or the HD DVD ended up
being Blue Ray?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
M hm, So Teflon doesn't surprise me. I'm thinking, like,
if Olestra gave you wiky butt syndrome. What does teflon
give you.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Hard shiny guts? I mean, if you think about it
from a logical standpoint, I get it right. Teflon is slick, right.
I mean we use it for our cooking surfaces already,
So it stands to reason if food doesn't stick to
your teflon coated cooking pan, then what would happen if
(10:29):
your insides were teflon lined? Therefore, the food would not stick,
And like Trey said, your body becomes an intestinal luge.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yes, but it also wouldn't digest, so you're just gonna
eat it and about the same thing, but no calories
and dead in eight days.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
A nonstick colon sounds really dangerous.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse
on Air dot com.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Eight three three cook DFW. That's the phone number you
need to contact Daniel Cook to get your free roof
inspection eight three to three cook DFW the website cookdfw
dot com. Now is one of the best times of
the year to get that roof inspection scheduled because it's
not quite as hot. Storm season is waning some and
(11:34):
Daniel and his team have even more time to go
to your home and take a look around to see
the things you may need or even may want.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Right Dan, we talk about this every year.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
This is the perfect opportunity for you to take some time,
call us out, have us look over the roof, your
your it's your windows, your screens, you know, just do
a good once over on your property because you're not
looking at it the same way we do. And so
when we get up there, we're looking at penetration points, flashings.
We're looking at the common wind areas that are going
(12:07):
to get blown off your hips, the edges of your eves.
You know, these are the things that we look at
as professionals that you may never see because you're looking
at a house and all.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
You see is the house. We see the details, and
so that's.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Why it's important.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
It's a perfect time we can come out, do some
repairs if necessary, reseal some items, you know, get you ready,
because believe it or not, here we go. We're fixing
to b in fall and winners right around the corner.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So don't yeah, yeah, keep that in mind. Because Daniel
Cook is sort of like Game of Thrones holding that sword,
looking out into the wilderness and saying brace yourselves. Winter
is coming and he wants to help you get ready
for all that and fix all those imperfections. Now eight

(13:38):
it's absolutely free. They'll be honest with you about what
they find. A three three cook DFW. Right now, back
inside the Treehouse, we are going through the twenty twenty
five ig No Bell Prizes for all the stupidities science
offered up over the last year. So far we have
gone through the Pediatrics Prize, the Biology Prize. All right, No,
(14:01):
we have not done the Biology Prize. We've done the
chemistry prize, the pediatrics prize, and the nutrition prize. Now
let's do the biology prize that went to a study
that determined cows painted with zebra like stripes were fifty
percent less likely to be bitten by flies.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Hmm. Now that's an interesting study, I can.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I mean so a couple layers to that. One, first
of which is they only wanted to see if they
were being bitten by flies, not by anything else. They're
only focused on the flies for some reason, okay. And
then the other part was only the cows that they
had painted to look like zebras.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yes, and that leads me to believe it had more
to do with the paint than the than the configuration
of the stripes. That cow smells like paint, let's not
bite it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And maybe it's maybe that study was not so much
geared towards learning about the cow portion of receiving the
fly bite, but maybe learning about why flies bite at all.
So maybe that's it.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, maybe the flies were like, oh, stripes is not
a good look on you, and they went for the
other ones.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Not after labor day.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
He should have done vertical it's more so. This year's
Literature prize from the IG Nobel Prizes was awarded posthumously
to a man for persistently recording and analyzing the rate
of growth of one of his fingernails over a period
(15:44):
of thirty five years. I feel like that's more of
a lifetime achievement award?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Is it achievement?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I feel like it's more of a lifetime award?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Is Jerry holding something out for us?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I mean, I'm kind of feeling like since Jerry's kept
all of his toenail and fingernail clippings over the past
twenty years, he's kind of going over the top with it.
This guy got a Nick Egg Nobel Prize just on
one nail. Maybe Jerry's doing too much for science.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, I don't know how. How did convince a spouse
that that's what you're gonna do for? Hey, do you need?
You need to get a job? I got one. What
are you gonna do? I'm gonna record my fingernail. It's like,
you need to leave this house. I'm keeping the kids.
You need to stop drinking and leave this house.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, Terry, I hate to break it to you, but
I don't think that's a full time job. I mean
that's really one note per day.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
That's growing, Yeah, not growing.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You just imagine what the door jams in his house must.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Look like my pinky nails all grown up the first
day of school.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Oh man, all right, back to it. The ig Nobel Prizes,
the Engineering Design Prize went to a team who researched
how foul smelling shoes affect the good experience of using
a shoe rack.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
There's a there's a there's a good experience to using
the shoe rack. It's just convenience.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, I guess they want to measure the quality of
experience you have with your shoe rack.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Now would you go, let's say, ad ugly.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I don't even know what to say to that. I mean,
was it sponsored by odor eaters?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
What what I've.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Or even Nordstrom rack?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
But is it like okay, so if it's a public thing,
like would you put your shoes next to someone's that
smelled really awful? Or would you put them in a
different part of the rat I think that's what maybe
they were going for.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I don't wait, yeah, because in the public shoe rack
like so like in like huh, culturally, yeah, culturally, like
if you go to my temple, like there's you can
go inside with shoes on.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, I always new like that, but I've okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Most of us whites keep our shoes on and the
rest of the world is thankful for it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I knew my like I hadn't met my neighbors in ages,
just you know, different timings. And I guess they were
having a birthday party and I was I walked outside,
man my door, and there was all these shoes outside.
I was like, ah, I've got Indian neighbors.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Could also could also be another Asian because my Vietnamese brother,
I mean he takes his shoes off, you know, every
time by the front door.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
As well, and that that is a good practice because
when you get in the habit of it, you realize
how much dirt you track in with your shoes.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Is it a cleanliness thing raj in the Indian culture
or is it something else?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
It's cleanliness, gotcha, it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah. The downside though, is then you have really skanky feet.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well you keep your socks on, I would hope, like.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Nasty socks. But yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Well, I mean you're not dragging dirt into the house,
so you have to I mean, and you clean your floors,
so when you take your shoes off, it's at the
door and you come inside.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The floors, or you have house shoes.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Now I'm with Trey, I think at that point and
I need to have the house shoes. I need something
on there because after I don't like running around completely
barefoot because then I just feel like I'm just Maybe
it's because we have pets, so if I go barefoot
for more than five minutes, I feel like I'm just
covered in you know, pet hair and them crummies and things.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Isn't isn't barefoot? Just the Oklahoma house shoe.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I don't know if you noticed, but you made Trey
and I both do our Robert de Nero impression at
the same time.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, and Arkansas it's the Oklahoma house shoe and the
razorback flip flop, or just call it the Britney's.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I mean, only if you're going into a public restroom. Yeah,
you know. Uh yeah, So it's just cultural, like we
don't we don't want to drag in dirt and bacteria
and stuff like that. Also, when when the pandemic hit numbers,
like you got to wash your hands. I'm like, that
was the first thing when we came home from school.
My mom's first thing it was wash her hands. So
that was automatically a thing that I just did always. Anyways,
(21:02):
gotcha yep.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
The Aviation Prize from the ig Nobel Prize Board went
to research on how alcohol ingestion affects the ability of
bats to fly and ecolate or echo locate, or if
you read it another way, e chocolate. The Aviation Prize
went to research on how alcohol ingestion affects the ability
(21:27):
of bats to fly and echo locates. So someone studied
drunk bats and I applaud them for it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Yeah, I would like to get.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, I feel like there's some risk involved there.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I just want to hear the drunk conversation with it.
Between So there's a batman, right, doesn't that piss you
off a little bit? Was the cultural appropriation?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
And the battle looks up from his the bat looks
up from his pint glass and cause you're right, I
never thought about that.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
You're never going to be a batman, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And then the researcher has to make a special note.
Alcohol makes bats Talk did not expect this.

(24:18):
is one of my favorite teases that I've written in
a while. Okay, which in itself is a tease. Is
this rock bottom or the pinnacle of achievement? Charlie Sheen
did so much cocaine that he was cut off by
a Mexican drug cartel. So once again I ask you,
is this rock bottom or the pinnacle of achievement?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
And the Lifetime Achievement award goes to Charlie Schuen's nospitals.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It reminds me of the John Pinnett bit, the stand
up comedian who was overweight, and how the Chinese buffet
hated it when he showed up because they would mountain
say you go home, you've been here for hour. That's
what this reminds me of. Except Charlie Sheen walks up
to the Mexican drug cartel and they're like, no, no,
we're out, get go away.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah that's the only Yeah, I was gonna say. The
only reason they cut you off is if they're running low.
So it's like, we can't give you any more, but
we got to give other There's millions of other people
that need it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
And it is pretty bad. It is really bad if
you do so much cocaine that you turn the Mexican
cartel into socialists, like we need to save some for
everybody else.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
They find Jesus, we're just gonna stop. We're gonna turn
this into a church. Literally, hear the devil.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You know what. We've realized that what we're doing is
not so good. We're all ready to turn our lives around.
The thousands of us.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
We're not producing this anymore. We're gonna do more for
the community in Christ. That's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
This this highway adopted by the Mexican drug cartel, the
cartel highway has never been cleaner. And you know they
can go all day.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
That's their beef now is who's got the cleanest highways? Cineloa,
you know out there.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Dragging, They're gonna they're gonna beat out those girl scouts.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I'll tell you that it's l Chapel now instead of.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Oh no, this really is stunning. So Charlie Sheen is
in the middle of his uh press tour for his
new book, The Book of Sheen, and in a recent
interview with an Australian reporter, he dropped the bombshell that
he was once cut off by the Mexican cartel. He
(26:47):
is sixty years old. He sat down with Channel nine
journalist Amelia Adams on the Current Affairs program Sixty Minutes
as he hits the publicity trail for his new tell
all book, The Book of Sheen and the Netflix documentary
Charlie Sheen. The star revealed that at the height of
his drug use, he was cut off from his drug
supply by a Mexican cartel. The reporter, Emelia Adams, stunned,
(27:13):
asked the cartel cut you off? Sheen responded they did.
They had never seen someone acquiring that kind of weight
and so the only other people that they were delivering
that kind of weight to were dealers and they thought
I was dealing on the side.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
He's like, nope, straight into my nose.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah uh, and then I'll throw this in as well.
She then asked Sheen if rumors that he once smoked
seven grams of crack cocaine in one sitting were true.
His response, well, we never like took one out of
the pipe and put it on a scale. However, yeah,
that was the that was the amount that was cooked
to get it into that form. I remember at one
(27:54):
point the Jaws moment saying we're gonna need a bigger pipe.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yes, So and if he wants the Netflix series, he
talks about it. He's got his buddy that was his
bodyguarden that also partied with him and got drugs for him,
and he's like, it's one hundred percent sury. He goes,
I watched it with my own eyes and almost and
it's a big dude. And he wasn't even Charlie's bodyguard
at one point. He was just there to hang out
and Charlie would pay him like ten thousand dollars or
twenty thousand dollars just to party with him, because they
(28:23):
would stay up for nights in a row and it
not even the allure of twenty grand could keep this
guy coming back, because he at one point, he's like
even his wife, who knew what he did for a living,
was like, dude, you got to stop. And he's like,
I have to. I can't keep going over there. He's
like it's too much. He's like, I got to he
(28:43):
because I would sleep for a week after partying with
Charlie Seen, and he's still going. Jesus.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, there was another story I saw. I think this
was from his book that in the early nineties, maybe
around ninety ninety one, somewhere in that time frame, he
had his core group at the time he was partying
with and the only person that apparently gave him a
run for his money as far as the amount of
(29:13):
cocaine and drugs and alcohol ingested was Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
And I don't know if that was his first intervention
or just one of but it was around that time
when he was partying with Nick Cage and he's like, uh,
then they had an intervention and he was like, yeah,
maybe now's a good time to stop because Nick Cage
was doing more than him, which yeah, shocking.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
That was that was the that was in the documentary
as well, because it was his dad's birthday and they
called him at like nine o'clock in the morning, like
we're doing dad's birthday early, and they're like now, and
he showed up and it was an intervention. It wasn't
even it was on his dad's birthday, but it was. Yeah.
And if you can outparty Nicholas Cage, like, Nicholas Cage
(29:59):
is the reason we have Johnny Depp because Johnny Depp
was in a band back in the day and they
put him Nicholas Cage was a buddy and they partied
too hard one night and n Nicholas Cage was too
hungover to go to an audition and sent Johnny Depp
instead and it was Mike Mare on Numstreet. Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, well, you know, sometimes say yes to the drugs.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah. See, that's what I'm saying. It's like your six
degrees of separation from Ma Sheene gave us Johnny Depp.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, that's uh. I mean, just the realization that must
have sunk in or maybe it didn't with Charlie Sheen
when your dealer tells you, but it's not just a dealer.
I mean, it's an entire network. It's a car tell
that says, we think you need to pump the brakes
of bit here.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
But yeah, that order has to come from the top,
you know. So it's like the head of this, like
let's say it's the Cineloa's like, it's the head is
like who is this?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Like the actor. It's like trying to buy a used
car at a at a at a at a lot
at a car lot and the salesman's like, I don't know,
I need to go check with the manager on this one.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
You've bought too many of these.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
They're making for hell a T shirt like Pablo Escobar
cut me off and that's got it. You know, you
think about it, that's got to be a pretty because
you think about the brat Pack era where they all
partied their ass off.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Oh yeah, Rob Low, Emelia Astevez.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, Christian Slater like all those, Like I mean there's
some heavy hitters in there.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah, River Phoenix rip.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yeah. But the brat Pack were like they retired early,
Like if you look like Boblow like in the late nineties,
was like, yeah, I'm not I can't. I can't function
like this anymore. And she's like, cool, I got you.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, just just give me his. I'll take it. Just
give me his. And really, if you think about it,
because like with Charlie Sheen, he's he his life has
been in cycles like reading a very reading various stories
about the book and and hearing things from the documentary.
It's he does this every few years. He's like the Olympics.
He'll do a bunch of drugs, then he'll get clean
(32:14):
for a little while, and then they'll come back around again,
and then he's standing on top of the podium with
white stuff all over his face.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
John Cryer said, exactly what you just said at the
really end. Yeah, at the very end of the it's
not a spoiler. John Cryer doesn't like him. He's just like,
this is what he does. He does all this horrific stuff,
and then he stops, and they give him a project
that makes him millions and millions of dollars, and he
does it again, and then he stops and then he
(32:41):
can give him another one. And now they've given him
a book and let's just wait and see. That's kind
of his attitude.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, I was. I saw an interview with Cryer there
ask him about it, and I forgot how he put it,
But basically it was like, you know, he goes maybe
one day, but he had no interest in talking to
Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yeah, I mean he says it in the same thing
he says it that he's like, but he goes, I
got to give him credit. He was like, he never
missed a rehears Like in the beginning, he never missed
a rehearsal, and he always knew his lines. Everything was great,
easy to work with on the set, hard to deal
with off And then he's like, I knew it was
really bad when he started missing like rehearsals, but he
(33:25):
would show up on the day of the shoot and
know every single thing had his timing was still on.
And he's like, so, I gotta give him credit for that.
But that's about it.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
As someone who's worked in an environment very similar to this,
Eventually they start flubbing their lines, but that's also in
conjunction with not showing up, or if they do show
up it's laughably late, and just doing the absolute bear
(34:00):
minimum so they could get through whatever is required of
them that particular day and make sure they're back in
the car by seven oh five. Next to a handle
of Tito's I may I may have said too much,
but whatever. And so it's interesting because like the John
Cryer sentiment, I understand that because like you don't necessarily
(34:23):
have to be mad at the person. But there's all
these enablers that make this situation so volatile. And eventually
Charlie Sheen got axed from the show, and they're like,
this is it. We're done, We're not going to entertain
the Shenanigans any longer. It doesn't always work out that way, Yeah,
(34:46):
Sometimes they just keep dragging them through or other people
drag them along, and then eventually they die. So the
fact that and I'm with you, the fact that Charlie
Sheen is a live at all is stunning.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, even his doctors said that the like we can't
you're you're cut from a different cloth. But Crier was
talking about he's like the only reason that he got
acted from that show is when he called out Chuck Lory.
That's it. He's like, if he wouldn't have said anything
about him, but he was in his you know, crop
fueled tiger blood phase. But if he's like, had he
not said anything about him, it would have been fine.
(35:23):
He was making two million dollars an episode. He was like,
and Crier's like, I was making a third of that.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
You know why because in those situations, they have a
tendency to throw money at problems because if you throw
money at a problem, then they don't have to worry
about it. You just put it on somebody else. Yes,
a production crew, the co stars, the directors, all the
people at the deal with that on the daily basis.
It's like, Hey, I gave him much money, he should
be happy. Well, of course, you just gave him a
(35:49):
bunch of money to shove up his nose.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Yeah, and that and that's what we call Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
It really is. Definitely really it really really is. But yeah,
I mean, if you think about it, the fact that
Charlie Sheen is still alive and none of these scientists
that have won prizes from the ig Nobel Prize have
studied him at length like they should. Because if you're
doing studies on drunk bats and what they do, how
(36:16):
are you not doing this with Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, the study should be the effects of cocaine, the
effect of what happens with cocaine when Charlie Sheen happens
to cocaine.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
That's right. What are the effects of Charlie Sheen on cocaine?
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I mean, yeah, that's an economic study.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Also, yeah, you could win an actual Nobel Prize in
Science and economics if you can figure out how it
is Charlie Sheen does so much drugs.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Hey, Columbia, want to increase your GDP and more inflation,
here's one buddy, Charlie Sheen. That's right.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Look, he's gonna fix the economy. It may not be
the economy you want in your schools, but we're all
gonna be driving Laborghinis, even the kids in school. That's right.
The pickup line's gonna be baller.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
It's amazing. Though it's messed up as he was, he
still didn't end up with two batmobiles.
