Speaker 1 (00:24):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. Today is Wednesday, April eighth,
two thy twenty five. I'm Daniel Malley. He is Trey Trendhome.
Happy hump Day, Trey.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
That has to me too many settled meetings with you.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It does typically, But there's nothing weird going on by
me saying happy hump Day, at least not today. I
just mean it generally and authentically, Happy hump Day, Happy
Wednesdays that make you feel better, Happy Wednesday a little bit.
There's nothing loaded in the statement at all. But I
do appreciate the fact that my words have given you
(01:08):
PTSD over the years. You've given me so much power,
and I appreciate it. And now I'm going to use
those words to bludgeon you with massive amounts of stupid today. Yeah,
and I can't think of a better way to start
the show than with this very uplifting story. Hang on,
(01:34):
let me see here already, here we go. There is
a man. There's almost always a man in this case.
It's not Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Though.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
There are many times in my life where I see
a story and I think, yeah, this is a story
I need to share with my buddy tray because it's
going to be a doozy and that's this one. A
man with a lengthy criminal history is facing multiple felony
charges for allegedly shoplifting more than twenty thousand dollars worth
(02:10):
of merchandise from Walmart stores across North Georgia. His name
is Speedy Gonzales. Seriously, yeah, I know I should have
made this a believe it or not, but it was
too good to draw it out that much. Police. Gainesville
(02:32):
Police arrested forty year old Speedy Gonzales Yes that's his
real name, after identifying him on surveillance footage out of
Walmart in March in North Georgia. Speedy is accused of
carrying out a series of thefts at stores in Hall, Barrow, Gwynett, Habersham,
White and Lumpkin Counties. According to Gainesville Police, they say
(02:54):
he does have a criminal history in Gainesville, Georgia, and
again he's someone that we've dealt with numerous times. Investigators
say Speedy Gonzales used a simple but effective method to
conceal his thefts. He allegedly stuffed high priced smaller items
such as nicotine products, diabetic test strips, and gum into
(03:15):
larger containers like trash cans or mailboxes. Then at checkout
he would pay only for the large item and lead
the store with the concealed merchandise, something I think we
all could recognize as the trojan horse method. I mean,
something small inside the big thing to then carry out
your nefarious plan.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
To rack up up to twenty grand in theft by
that method. That's putting in some work.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It is that takes a lot of work. That's a
lot of effort to steal that amount of goods from Walmart,
especially when so much of it's smaller now I think
some of the nicotine products. This is sort of like
a supermarket suite the old game show that used to
come on, and you would have a certain amount of
time to grab as much product as you could to
(04:03):
throw it in your grocery cart, and whoever ended up
with the highest grocery bill would win. That's kind of
like what this guy seemed like he was doing, except
he had never pay for any of them.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Poor Speedy. Kudos to his parents, though.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's a serious sense of humor, and again this is
not speedy. Gonzalez first run in with the law that
came in twenty twenty when Gwinnet County arrested him for
stealing checks from a mailbox and attempting to use them
to purchase three thousand dollars worth of merchandise at home depot,
So clearly he is a retail menace. Following this most
(04:43):
recent arrest, Speedy Gonzales was initially booked into the Hall
County Jail, currently being held in Barrow County as authorities
across North Georgia work together to pursue additional charges. Police
also say his accomplice, Slow Pope Rodriguez, is still.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Along the road but can't catch up to Speedy, but
they can't catch.

Daniel Mallay. Key is Trey Trenholme. Today is Wednesday, April eighth,
two thy twenty five. Tray and I we both have
jobs here inside the Treehouse. We have our treehouse jobs.
I also have a job on the side as a
wedding efficiant, and Trey has his main slash side gig
(07:13):
as a bar manager, a high end bar manager. None
of that nasty stuff, only the good stuff for O
Man Trey. But if we were looking for a new job,
there are some things that we need to be aware of.
So that's what we're going to help you with right
now inside the treehouse. That is, if you are looking
(07:36):
for a new job, you need to listen up, because
there are some new tactics that hiring managers are using
to decide whether or not you get the job. Okay,
one is the salt and pepper test. Have you heard
of the salt and pepper test deciding whether or not
you get a job?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
According to this test, HR managers have used to decide
whether or not to give someone a job based on
whether or not they season their food before they've even
tasted it. So, if you're at a job interview that's
happening over lunch or dinner or even breakfast, if you
season your food before you've even tasted it, some HR
(08:15):
managers see that as a red flag and may not
consider you for the job because of it. They have
their own reasonings for it, but a lot of it
has to do with basically being impulsive, among other things.
But they just see it as it's a red flag
and now you know, so if you're looking for a job,
(08:36):
beware the salt and pepper test. They even go so
far as to say that the test is not new,
but because of social media, people are kind of panicking
over this what they think to be is a new tactic.
One of the original stories that people heard about the
salt and pepper test was two young men applying for
a job at a fortune five hundred company. One of
(08:57):
the men went to Harvard, one went to Yale. They
were both exceptional in every way and numerous references to
vouch for their character. They were both so good the
CEO couldn't decide which one to hire, and since there
was only one job, only one could be hired. So
we invited him to dinner to see if he could
figure out which was the best candidate. When the food arrived,
one of the men put salt and pepper on his food,
(09:18):
while the other man took a small bite of each
on his dish, then added salt and pepper the CEU.
The CEO knew right then in there that the man
who tasted his food first was the one who should
get the job. Does that make sense to you?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, it does. I mean I understand the reasoning behind it.
I mean some people would just go, I know that
food is never salted enough, and that's why they're doing it.
But yeah, in general, you should always try your food
first before you add salt, salt, or pepper to.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It, unless, of course, you're able to check that disability
box and tell them. So you're excluding me because of
my taste bud disability I had.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Sounds like a dumb thing, but honest to God, I
think my brother in law has it because my brother
in law's Vietnamese, and so he grew up on eating
severely spicy food, so spicy that I think he's burned
through a majority of his taste buds to where he
can't eat something and taste it unless it's through the
roof spicy. So like at Thanksgiving, he has a little
(10:21):
side dish of hot peppers. And I don't mean hot
peppers like white guy hot peppers, right, I mean like
Asian dude hot peppers, and he'll have little bits of
it on every single bite of turkey. I tried one
bite once and I still won't touch his food. It's
(10:42):
been years, So if you have a lunch interview, dinner interview,
beware the salt and pepper test. And look, finding a
job nowadays is hard enough without trying to think about
all the sneaky ways that you're being tested. But I
guess it's kind of the reality of things nowadays. It's
not just so much whether or not you're qualified. It's
(11:02):
how you eat your food.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, it seems like a bit much, but it is
what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
There is another test. This one is the coffee test
to decide whether or not you get a job. Okay.
In this this trick was described by an Australian boss
whose name is Trent Ennis, and he said he always
takes prospective employees for a walk to the kitchen to
the break room for a drink. He calls it the
(11:33):
coffee cup test, but it doesn't matter if it's coffee
or not. It could be tee, water whatever. What he's
looking for is what you do with your cup after
the interview. So what he says is we take the
drink back to the office, we have our interview, and
one of the things I'm always looking for at the
end of the interview is does the person doing the interview,
want to take that empty cup back to the kitchen
(11:55):
and clean it, or at least put it back in
the kitchen, He says. The reasoning is because it highlights
whether or not you're a team player, if you're considerate
or not, and if you care about the small things.
Is this too much.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That I understand because just service industry, you interview people,
you know, they get glass of water or whatever. It
is very telling on if they're going to clean up
after themselves or you know, if they're they realize that
if they leave that glass there, they're creating work for
(12:32):
somebody else. So I get that one.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I remember. This reminds me. Early on in his career,
Dak Prescott did something like this on the sideline during
a game he was on He was on the bench
and he had just finished a cup of gatorade and
he wadded it up and threw it over his shoulder
towards the trash can. And this was all cut on television.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It got intercepted.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
No, this was early in his career. Uh, he did
miss the trash can, which is about three feet wide.
He missed the trash can, but instead of leaving it
on the ground in a testament to Dak Prescott's character.
He stood up from the bench, walked over, picked up
the cup and threw it in the trash can, and
that says a lot about his character. Now, you're right, Trey.
(13:19):
He still missed the initial throw and that should have
been a huge red flak for us as Cowboys fan.
But at least we know he's a good person. He
still had hit a wide open trash can with a
gatory cup, but he'll at least pick it up for
you after.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Did Zeke pop out when he threw the trash can
or the cup in?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
He tried, but he got hurt.

The RMS Treehouse Listeners Foundation exists to help the families
of fallen DFW police officers and firefighters killed in the
line of duty, and we've been very fortunate over the
(14:17):
years to partner with some outstanding companies wanting to help,
and today we get to add Cook DFW's name to
that list of excellent sponsors to the foundation because Daniel,
you and your wife Carrie have said, you know what,
we love our community and we want to do something
to give back to our first responders in DFW.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Right, Dan, That's absolutely correct, and you know, truth be known,
Carrie has given to the foundation for quite so many years.
But now at a company level, I think we are
wanting to definitely you know, beef that up and start
giving back to the foundation. And it's unfortunately, this is
a foundation nobody wants to have to donate to, but
(14:56):
it's the real world is that these things do happen,
and it's the type of foundation that you don't want around,
but you definitely want it to be, you know, available
to the families that need it. And so over the
next couple of months, you know, a portion of all
the proceeds from the work done from Treehouse Listeners that
call in and let us know that they heard about
(15:16):
you on the show, we're going to be donating to
the RMS Tree House Listeners Foundation and making sure that
we can keep that very stable in the accounting side
and have funds available that when the families need it
it's going to be there. So we're very fortunate to
be a part of the organization and we look forward
to try and assist and help it as much.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
As we can.

Treehouse Show. I'm Daniel mallyheat is tree Trendholm Today is Wednesday,
April eighth, two thy twenty five. We were just talking
about some of the tests that hiring managers will put
prospective employees through, which I don't know. I've had interviews before,
(16:54):
but in my recent work history, you know, with radio stuff,
it hasn't been so much about how you do in
an interview or whether or not there's an interview. It's
just whether or not the person you're meeting with knows
you already and someone's already recommended you for a job.
Like the previous two radio jobs I had, it wasn't
even an interview. It was more of a formality to
(17:16):
come in and do paperwork because it was already happening. Yeah,
that being said, in my younger career, I thought I
was pretty good at doing job interviews. How about you,
Dre You've had to do them more recently, with you know,
actual interview questions and things.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I think I've always done pretty well. I've try not
to overthink it. I stories like that would would if
I really thought about them too much, then I would
probably really hurt myself and trying to overanalyze everything I
said and did I mean, But I honestly one of
(17:55):
the biggest things, especially in this day and age, when
I interview people. Number one thing, do they show up
on time?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And it seems to us like that would just be
a given and it would be the exception that someone
show up late to an interview. But I kind of
get the idea that's not the case with the people
you've interviewed.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
No, it's it's especially not picking on gen Z, but
they they are not good about being on time.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's not their fault. Tree they can't read clocks.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, that is true, but they can just ask Siri
to set them on alarm.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That is true. There does need to be a fair
amount of accountability. Now. Part of the reason I bring
this up is because I'm always fascinated by people that
work in HR. My previous job at iHeartRadio, I dealt
with HR on a on a few occasions, not because
I was in trouble, but you know, things happen sometimes
(19:06):
you have to answer questions. But an HR lady has
gone viral. A woman who works in HR has gone
viral for listing some of the craziest things that she's
had to fire people for. You want to hear a couple.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I would love to all. Right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
So here is this HR lady who's gone viral sharing
some of the crazy things that she's had to fire
people for.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
The first guy was napping in his car from ten
am till almost one every single day. He had been
doing this for like four months straight. But I ended
up firing him by knocking on his door because we
were trying to find him and he was a wall
and he opened the door and he was so shocked
and he could not believe that he was getting fired
for sleeping three hours every single day.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Real quick. I wouldn't mind defending this guy only because
I'm curious. Was he really not doing his job or
was he doing so much work between nine am and
ten am that he was tired and needed to go sleep.
So maybe he got all his work done, he was
just you know, napping in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, I'm sure that was it. He was so productive
in one hour that, yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Needed to sleep for three Yeah. Here's here's another example
of a reason she had to fire somebody.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
An employee had just gotten a verbal warning so not
even written anything about stealing company supplies because he was
loading cases of toilet paper into his vehicle. He got
really upset and went straight into We had this big
glass meeting room where all the execs for meeting turned around,
dropped his pants and stuck his butt against the window.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I was about to say, I've done some of these
things that she's talking about. I have stolen supplies from
work and taken them home from my personal use. I'd
see what else? What was the first thing she mentioned?
The sleeping. I've slept at work before. Now again, working
in radio and entertainment, things we can get away with more.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You can.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Like I had an office and there were times where
I didn't feel good, so I would close the door,
lock it, turn the line off, and take a little
power nap.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Well, I think a power nap is one thing. Three
hour three hour sleep is totally different.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, I never slept through the job.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's like if we were on the air at three o'clock,
I might sleep till about two forty five, then get
up and do my thing. I wouldn't sleep till four.
I've also never mooned. I've never mooned everybody in the
conference room. So that's one thing I haven't done that
she mentioned there. But as I go through the as
I go through my work history, my work experience, and
(21:35):
I think about the people that I've worked with over
the years, things that they've done, things that I've done.
Some of these things that she's going viral for really
aren't that crazy to me?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean, no, there's no firearms involved.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
There's no firearms involved.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You know what is crazy, though? Peeing in the corner,
not once, but twice and not getting fired, that's crazy.
Calling management idiots and not getting fired. That's crazy. Pissing
off clients and not getting fired. I think that would count.
Cutting your own internet line when working remotely and not
(22:10):
getting fired. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Not showing up for eight months straight and not getting fired.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's sleeping through a month of work.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He had the best job in the world and he
ruined it by dying.

He's Trey Trendheld. This is the Treehouse Show. It's Wednesday,
April eighth, twenty twenty five. Happy hump Day with no
loaded sentiment behind it whatsoever. Just happy Wednesday. See Trey,
there's nothing loaded in there. You're fine. Sure, we've got
(23:38):
to work on our trust issues. You know what you need?
You need an emotional support animal. Maybe that'll help you
with your PTSD and dealing with me. Over the twenty
years we've known each other. Would Daisy or chihuahua? Would
she do you have emotional support papers on her? Or
(24:00):
do you just hold her up? And everyone just kind
of says, yeah, okay, go ahead, because she's that adorable.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I've never had anyone really give me any grief about her.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I feel like Daisy is everyone's emotional support chihuahua.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, if Daisy doesn't bring a smile to your face
and there's just something wrong.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
With you that is the ultimate litmus test.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
If you don't smile when you see Daisy, there's something
severely wrong with you.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, or I'll say this. Over the years, she has
been one hundred percent. The very few people she's ever
coming across she did not like. They turned out to
not be good people.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Who was it?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Can you tell me? Do I know who it was?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Now?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You don't know any of them? All right? Damn it?
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well, it's good to know that there actually are people
out there, so it really does work as an actual
red flag test. Speaking of emotional support animals and Nevada
man was a avdaman got in trouble recently because of
his emotional support tigers. Yeah, you heard that correctly. A
(25:13):
avda man was arrested after officials seized seven tigers that
he claimed as his emotional support tigers. I would have
a difficult time trying to think of a worse animal
(25:35):
to have as an emotional support animal than a tiger.
Maybe emotional support moose. I mean, because if you're talking
about whether it's dangerous or just completely ridiculous, I mean,
there's you're not You're going to be hard pressed to
find something dumber than a tiger.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Well, I really feel like that an emotional support cat
of any type is an oxymoron at best, because they
don't care about your feelings. Oh, they're not here to
support your emotions.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
No, animal welfare workers recovered the tigers in cages at
Pa Rump, the home of longtime big cat handler Carl Mitchell,
last Wednesday. Pa Rump is a real town and it's
just outside Death Valley National Park. Now. Mister Mitchell claimed
he had obtained six of the seven large cats from
(26:29):
incarcerated zoo keeper Joseph Allen Maldonado. And if that name
sounds familiar to you, that's because he's better known as
Joe Exotic from the Netflix Docuseriies the Tiger King that
was so popular during the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You know, I knew as you're reading the story, I'm like,
that's Tiger King has got to be tied in somewhere
to this.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Now, here's an interesting twist, as if keeping seven emotional
support tigers on your property, on your property legally in
Nevada wasn't a twist enough. Joe Exotic himself has come
out publicly to denounce any involvement with this man and
his tigers from jail at the Federal Medical Facility in
(27:17):
Fort Worth. Joe Exotic denied giving anyone tigers. He said,
you need to quit slandering me on television before you
do your research. None of these tigers came from me,
he said. This is what he released on X slash Twitter.
He says, until you want a real story, leave my
name out of it. The sixty two year old Kansas
(27:38):
native is currently serving a twenty one year sentence at
the Federal Medical Facility in Fort Worth. In twenty nineteen,
he was convicted of nineteen counts of wildlife crimes and
two counts relating to a murder for higher case of
rival zoo operator Carol Baskin. So seven tigers seized from
a man in Parumph, Nevada. He claims they were emotion
(28:00):
will support tigers he got from Joe Exotic. Joe Exotic,
from federal prison publicly states, nuh uh, this has nothing
to do with me.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Why does a prisoner have an X account?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Great question? Great question? Why is he tweeting yea or
ex singer whatever it is that that Elon calls it
from his platform? But yeah, no, he's he says no, no, no,
these are these have nothing to do with me. I
want nothing. This is no connection to me whatsoever, vehemently
denying it. I'm not sure he denied the murder for
(28:38):
higher plot against Carol is as hard as he's denying this,
which would explain the reason why he's in jail for
twenty one years. But again, I'm gonna I'm gonna go
back to my original point. Of all the animals on
this planet, this man chose tigers to be his emotional
support animals. I mean, there, that's that's a level of
(29:01):
ridiculous that even you and I tray here inside the
Treehouse can respect and appreciate.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Again, I mean, if you're looking for emotional support from
a cat, you you have, you have. You have issues
that are so much deeper you are beyond help. Yeah,
and the cat's going no, God of the alligator.

Today is April eighth, twoenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today
(30:17):
hump day with some what what are you looking at
me like that?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
For today's the ninth? Is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh man, I've been saying the wrong date all day.
Thanks for catching it five segments in. You know, all right,
today is Wednesday, April ninth, twenty twenty five. So gen
Z can't read clocks and me, as gen X, I
can't read a calendar.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You're of an age. Now you just blame it on
your I sight.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
All right, it's because of my eyes, that's the problem.
Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Wednesday April ninth, two
thy twenty five. He played Brand Stark on Game of Thrones.
His actual name is Isaac Hempstead. Right, he's twenty six today, Trey.
(31:15):
You said you watched what was it the first season
to Game of Thrones? But no more. Yeah, there's I
don't know what account does it, but I've seen a
few videos online where someone will take from some AI
platform they'll take an established show and turn it on
its head, and someone did that with Game of Thrones.
(31:39):
They did an AI generated Game of Thrones intro, but
as like a like a sitcom, I think, and so
it had all the AI generated images of all the
characters in their faces. It was really really good. And actually,
because Game of Thrones is so high drama, high stakes,
people dying left and right, it's extremely gory and violent
(32:04):
and just not kid friendly whatsoever. So taking that show
and making it look like a sitcom pretty funny, especially
knowing some of the storylines that happened with some of
those people. So if you ever get a chance to
see some of those watch them. They're very very good.
Other birthdays today, El Fanning turns twenty seven. That is
Dakota Fanning's younger sister. Elle Fanning is Princess Aurora on
(32:27):
Maleficent and the sequel, and she's also Katherine the Great
on Hulu's The Great. Elle Fanning turns twenty seven today.
Stone faced Kristin Stewart is thirty five. She's probably best
known as what's her name in the Twilight movies.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We did this last time?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Did we?
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
We can never remember.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Her character Belle. She played bell or Bella. Is that
my dog's name, Bella?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Bella?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Now I regret naming my dog Bella anyway. Kristen Stewart,
the actress, is thirty five. Waitn me double check, yeah,
thirty five today. Christin Stewart thirty five today. There was
another movie she was in. I can't remember the name
of it and didn't see it, and I don't think
anybody else did. Where it was her in some sort
of research facility at the bottom of the ocean and
(33:21):
a scary monster thing is happening. I don't know about you,
but I've seen that. I've seen a version of that
movie no less than three times, and Hollywood seems to
revisit that trope on a pretty regular basis.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
All right, speaking of complete sidebar, because the number one
of those movies for me, it's kind of Abyss.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay, Number two for me is Leviathan.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I think. Okay, but have you ever read how awful
shooting The Abyss was like, to the point where the
cast will not talk about it.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, I'm not sure if I knew this? So this
was this was James Cameron directed The Abyss?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Right, I think so? But uh, oh, what's his name?
Played Ed Harris, like nearly died because of one of
the swimming scenes and holding his breath too long, and
how cold and miserable it was, and like, evidently that
scarred that cast for life.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
That really speaks volumes to me, because Ed Harris is
no wimpy man. That is a that is a man's man.
He is a manly actor. It's it's it's Ed freaking Harris.
So if Ed Harris won't talk about it it was
that bad and he had issues with things on the set,
(34:47):
then you know it must have been bad.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
If you ever want it. It's an interesting read to
go go read the like and it's just bits and
pieces because again the cast really won't talk about it,
but evidently filming that movie was quite traumatic.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Interesting And again we're talking about James Cameron who directed
The Abyss, and it seems I guess it kind of
makes sense. I mean, you're talking about a guy that
spent a lot of his life at the bottom of
the ocean floor, so maybe that that's where he feels
most comfortable, away from people and on the bottom of
(35:23):
the ocean.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I mean, I can relate to the man, but you
don't have to kill other people that do it, And
DiCaprio would have died if that was the case.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Oh, yeah, that is very true.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
But yeah, if you show up to work and you're
looking around at all the people that you're in charge
of that day and say, you know what, after this
is done, I think I'm going to take a vacation
two miles to the bottom of the ocean floor just
to look for stuff. I think that says some things
about you. Yeah, it says some things about us that
we think that. What's it like this time of year?

He's trade turn home Today is still Wednesday, April ninth,
twenty twenty five, now that I've got that correct. There
was a really, really fun story that happened the other day,
fun for us, not necessarily for the people involved in it.
(37:16):
And yeah, it happened in Florida. A man flipped out
after being denied a free refill at a kid's lemonade stand.
I mean, come on. A forty five year old man
in Florida named Stephen Cussomano stopped at a kid's lemonade
stand on Tuesday last week. He bought one glass of lemonade,
(37:37):
downed it, and then got mad when they wouldn't give
him a free refill. There was an adult woman at
the stand with several of these kids, and Stephen, the suspect,
confronted her and grabbed her by the wrist aggressively, according
to the police report, and was standing in a fighting
stance threatening to beat her up. He eventually walked away
and the woman called the police. They tracked him down
(37:59):
and arrested him. He confirmed the woman's story, but he
felt justified because he said he grabbed her because she
was talking crap to him. He didn't use the word crap,
he said something else, But he felt justified that since
she was speaking all sorts of things to him, that
he was allowed to grab her in an aggressive manner
and get into a fighting stance and threatened to beat
(38:20):
her up in front of a bunch of kids after
being denied a free refill at the kid's lemonade stand.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Probably paid like a dollar for a glass of lemonade,
and then he added his free refills.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yep, okay, the two things. Number one, What was in
that lemonade? I mean that sounds good. If you're willing
to fight people, If you're willing to fight children for
a free refill, that's got to be some good lemonade.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah. Well, I mean, is it because it was that
good when you just paid for the refill?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Maybe? Unless there's some of lemonade tariff going on that
I'm not aware of driving up the cost of lemonade. Look,
if it's forty five dollars for a cup of lemonade,
I can understand demanding a free refill.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Fair enough.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Yeah, but you're right if it's a dollar and it's
just these little kids, you know, doing their kid lemonade
stand Come on, man, yeah, I mean I don't know
if I don't know if kids lemonade stands do shot specials. Yeah,
although although if they did, Florida would be the place.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Oh yeah, there'd be a line. Yeah, that's just go Hey,
would you do that at a waffle house? I don't
think so. Oh here's the test, Trey.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
You've just touched on something new. Because when I was
a kid, it was it was the wristband? What would
Jesus do?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Test?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
So I like the new twenty first century version of
it is, would you do this at a waffle house?
Let that be the barometer by which you live your life.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Go lay hands on the waffle house person, see what happens.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Did you ever hear the story about the man that
laid hands on the waffle house cook? No you haven't. Okay,
I think we should get some wristbands made. For all

the treehouse.
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. Today is Wednesday, April eighth,
two thy twenty five. I'm Daniel Malley. He is Trey Trendhome.
Happy hump Day, Trey.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
That has to me too many settled meetings with you.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It does typically, But there's nothing weird going on by
me saying happy hump Day, at least not today. I
just mean it generally and authentically, Happy hump Day, Happy
Wednesdays that make you feel better, Happy Wednesday a little bit.
There's nothing loaded in the statement at all. But I
do appreciate the fact that my words have given you
(01:08):
PTSD over the years. You've given me so much power,
and I appreciate it. And now I'm going to use
those words to bludgeon you with massive amounts of stupid today. Yeah,
and I can't think of a better way to start
the show than with this very uplifting story. Hang on,
(01:34):
let me see here already, here we go. There is
a man. There's almost always a man in this case.
It's not Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Though.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
There are many times in my life where I see
a story and I think, yeah, this is a story
I need to share with my buddy tray because it's
going to be a doozy and that's this one. A
man with a lengthy criminal history is facing multiple felony
charges for allegedly shoplifting more than twenty thousand dollars worth
(02:10):
of merchandise from Walmart stores across North Georgia. His name
is Speedy Gonzales. Seriously, yeah, I know I should have
made this a believe it or not, but it was
too good to draw it out that much. Police. Gainesville
(02:32):
Police arrested forty year old Speedy Gonzales Yes that's his
real name, after identifying him on surveillance footage out of
Walmart in March in North Georgia. Speedy is accused of
carrying out a series of thefts at stores in Hall, Barrow, Gwynett, Habersham,
White and Lumpkin Counties. According to Gainesville Police, they say
(02:54):
he does have a criminal history in Gainesville, Georgia, and
again he's someone that we've dealt with numerous times. Investigators
say Speedy Gonzales used a simple but effective method to
conceal his thefts. He allegedly stuffed high priced smaller items
such as nicotine products, diabetic test strips, and gum into
(03:15):
larger containers like trash cans or mailboxes. Then at checkout
he would pay only for the large item and lead
the store with the concealed merchandise, something I think we
all could recognize as the trojan horse method. I mean,
something small inside the big thing to then carry out
your nefarious plan.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
To rack up up to twenty grand in theft by
that method. That's putting in some work.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It is that takes a lot of work. That's a
lot of effort to steal that amount of goods from Walmart,
especially when so much of it's smaller now I think
some of the nicotine products. This is sort of like
a supermarket suite the old game show that used to
come on, and you would have a certain amount of
time to grab as much product as you could to
(04:03):
throw it in your grocery cart, and whoever ended up
with the highest grocery bill would win. That's kind of
like what this guy seemed like he was doing, except
he had never pay for any of them.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Poor Speedy. Kudos to his parents, though.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's a serious sense of humor, and again this is
not speedy. Gonzalez first run in with the law that
came in twenty twenty when Gwinnet County arrested him for
stealing checks from a mailbox and attempting to use them
to purchase three thousand dollars worth of merchandise at home depot,
So clearly he is a retail menace. Following this most
(04:43):
recent arrest, Speedy Gonzales was initially booked into the Hall
County Jail, currently being held in Barrow County as authorities
across North Georgia work together to pursue additional charges. Police
also say his accomplice, Slow Pope Rodriguez, is still.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Along the road but can't catch up to Speedy, but
they can't catch.

Daniel Mallay. Key is Trey Trenholme. Today is Wednesday, April eighth,
two thy twenty five. Tray and I we both have
jobs here inside the Treehouse. We have our treehouse jobs.
I also have a job on the side as a
wedding efficiant, and Trey has his main slash side gig
(07:13):
as a bar manager, a high end bar manager. None
of that nasty stuff, only the good stuff for O
Man Trey. But if we were looking for a new job,
there are some things that we need to be aware of.
So that's what we're going to help you with right
now inside the treehouse. That is, if you are looking
(07:36):
for a new job, you need to listen up, because
there are some new tactics that hiring managers are using
to decide whether or not you get the job. Okay,
one is the salt and pepper test. Have you heard
of the salt and pepper test deciding whether or not
you get a job?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
According to this test, HR managers have used to decide
whether or not to give someone a job based on
whether or not they season their food before they've even
tasted it. So, if you're at a job interview that's
happening over lunch or dinner or even breakfast, if you
season your food before you've even tasted it, some HR
(08:15):
managers see that as a red flag and may not
consider you for the job because of it. They have
their own reasonings for it, but a lot of it
has to do with basically being impulsive, among other things.
But they just see it as it's a red flag
and now you know, so if you're looking for a job,
(08:36):
beware the salt and pepper test. They even go so
far as to say that the test is not new,
but because of social media, people are kind of panicking
over this what they think to be is a new tactic.
One of the original stories that people heard about the
salt and pepper test was two young men applying for
a job at a fortune five hundred company. One of
(08:57):
the men went to Harvard, one went to Yale. They
were both exceptional in every way and numerous references to
vouch for their character. They were both so good the
CEO couldn't decide which one to hire, and since there
was only one job, only one could be hired. So
we invited him to dinner to see if he could
figure out which was the best candidate. When the food arrived,
one of the men put salt and pepper on his food,
(09:18):
while the other man took a small bite of each
on his dish, then added salt and pepper the CEU.
The CEO knew right then in there that the man
who tasted his food first was the one who should
get the job. Does that make sense to you?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, it does. I mean I understand the reasoning behind it.
I mean some people would just go, I know that
food is never salted enough, and that's why they're doing it.
But yeah, in general, you should always try your food
first before you add salt, salt, or pepper to.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It, unless, of course, you're able to check that disability
box and tell them. So you're excluding me because of
my taste bud disability I had.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Sounds like a dumb thing, but honest to God, I
think my brother in law has it because my brother
in law's Vietnamese, and so he grew up on eating
severely spicy food, so spicy that I think he's burned
through a majority of his taste buds to where he
can't eat something and taste it unless it's through the
roof spicy. So like at Thanksgiving, he has a little
(10:21):
side dish of hot peppers. And I don't mean hot
peppers like white guy hot peppers, right, I mean like
Asian dude hot peppers, and he'll have little bits of
it on every single bite of turkey. I tried one
bite once and I still won't touch his food. It's
(10:42):
been years, So if you have a lunch interview, dinner interview,
beware the salt and pepper test. And look, finding a
job nowadays is hard enough without trying to think about
all the sneaky ways that you're being tested. But I
guess it's kind of the reality of things nowadays. It's
not just so much whether or not you're qualified. It's
(11:02):
how you eat your food.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, it seems like a bit much, but it is
what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
There is another test. This one is the coffee test
to decide whether or not you get a job. Okay.
In this this trick was described by an Australian boss
whose name is Trent Ennis, and he said he always
takes prospective employees for a walk to the kitchen to
the break room for a drink. He calls it the
(11:33):
coffee cup test, but it doesn't matter if it's coffee
or not. It could be tee, water whatever. What he's
looking for is what you do with your cup after
the interview. So what he says is we take the
drink back to the office, we have our interview, and
one of the things I'm always looking for at the
end of the interview is does the person doing the interview,
want to take that empty cup back to the kitchen
(11:55):
and clean it, or at least put it back in
the kitchen, He says. The reasoning is because it highlights
whether or not you're a team player, if you're considerate
or not, and if you care about the small things.
Is this too much.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That I understand because just service industry, you interview people,
you know, they get glass of water or whatever. It
is very telling on if they're going to clean up
after themselves or you know, if they're they realize that
if they leave that glass there, they're creating work for
(12:32):
somebody else. So I get that one.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I remember. This reminds me. Early on in his career,
Dak Prescott did something like this on the sideline during
a game he was on He was on the bench
and he had just finished a cup of gatorade and
he wadded it up and threw it over his shoulder
towards the trash can. And this was all cut on television.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It got intercepted.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
No, this was early in his career. Uh, he did
miss the trash can, which is about three feet wide.
He missed the trash can, but instead of leaving it
on the ground in a testament to Dak Prescott's character.
He stood up from the bench, walked over, picked up
the cup and threw it in the trash can, and
that says a lot about his character. Now, you're right, Trey.
(13:19):
He still missed the initial throw and that should have
been a huge red flak for us as Cowboys fan.
But at least we know he's a good person. He
still had hit a wide open trash can with a
gatory cup, but he'll at least pick it up for
you after.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Did Zeke pop out when he threw the trash can
or the cup in?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
He tried, but he got hurt.

line of duty, and we've been very fortunate over the
(14:17):
years to partner with some outstanding companies wanting to help,
and today we get to add Cook DFW's name to
that list of excellent sponsors to the foundation because Daniel,
you and your wife Carrie have said, you know what,
we love our community and we want to do something
to give back to our first responders in DFW.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Right, Dan, That's absolutely correct, and you know, truth be known,
Carrie has given to the foundation for quite so many years.
But now at a company level, I think we are
wanting to definitely you know, beef that up and start
giving back to the foundation. And it's unfortunately, this is
a foundation nobody wants to have to donate to, but
(14:56):
it's the real world is that these things do happen,
and it's the type of foundation that you don't want around,
but you definitely want it to be, you know, available
to the families that need it. And so over the
next couple of months, you know, a portion of all
the proceeds from the work done from Treehouse Listeners that
call in and let us know that they heard about
(15:16):
you on the show, we're going to be donating to
the RMS Tree House Listeners Foundation and making sure that
we can keep that very stable in the accounting side
and have funds available that when the families need it
it's going to be there. So we're very fortunate to
be a part of the organization and we look forward
to try and assist and help it as much.

(16:33):
DFW or the website cookdfw dot com. This is the
Treehouse Show. I'm Daniel mallyheat is tree Trendholm Today is Wednesday,
April eighth, two thy twenty five. We were just talking
about some of the tests that hiring managers will put
prospective employees through, which I don't know. I've had interviews before,
(16:54):
but in my recent work history, you know, with radio stuff,
it hasn't been so much about how you do in
an interview or whether or not there's an interview. It's
just whether or not the person you're meeting with knows
you already and someone's already recommended you for a job.
Like the previous two radio jobs I had, it wasn't
even an interview. It was more of a formality to
(17:16):
come in and do paperwork because it was already happening. Yeah,
that being said, in my younger career, I thought I
was pretty good at doing job interviews. How about you,
Dre You've had to do them more recently, with you know,
actual interview questions and things.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I think I've always done pretty well. I've try not
to overthink it. I stories like that would would if
I really thought about them too much, then I would
probably really hurt myself and trying to overanalyze everything I
said and did I mean, But I honestly one of
(17:55):
the biggest things, especially in this day and age, when
I interview people. Number one thing, do they show up
on time?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And it seems to us like that would just be
a given and it would be the exception that someone
show up late to an interview. But I kind of
get the idea that's not the case with the people
you've interviewed.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
No, it's it's especially not picking on gen Z, but
they they are not good about being on time.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's not their fault. Tree they can't read clocks.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, that is true, but they can just ask Siri
to set them on alarm.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That is true. There does need to be a fair
amount of accountability. Now. Part of the reason I bring
this up is because I'm always fascinated by people that
work in HR. My previous job at iHeartRadio, I dealt
with HR on a on a few occasions, not because
I was in trouble, but you know, things happen sometimes
(19:06):
you have to answer questions. But an HR lady has
gone viral. A woman who works in HR has gone
viral for listing some of the craziest things that she's
had to fire people for. You want to hear a couple.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I would love to all. Right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
So here is this HR lady who's gone viral sharing
some of the crazy things that she's had to fire
people for.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
The first guy was napping in his car from ten
am till almost one every single day. He had been
doing this for like four months straight. But I ended
up firing him by knocking on his door because we
were trying to find him and he was a wall
and he opened the door and he was so shocked
and he could not believe that he was getting fired
for sleeping three hours every single day.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Real quick. I wouldn't mind defending this guy only because
I'm curious. Was he really not doing his job or
was he doing so much work between nine am and
ten am that he was tired and needed to go sleep.
So maybe he got all his work done, he was
just you know, napping in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, I'm sure that was it. He was so productive
in one hour that, yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Needed to sleep for three Yeah. Here's here's another example
of a reason she had to fire somebody.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
An employee had just gotten a verbal warning so not
even written anything about stealing company supplies because he was
loading cases of toilet paper into his vehicle. He got
really upset and went straight into We had this big
glass meeting room where all the execs for meeting turned around,
dropped his pants and stuck his butt against the window.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I was about to say, I've done some of these
things that she's talking about. I have stolen supplies from
work and taken them home from my personal use. I'd
see what else? What was the first thing she mentioned?
The sleeping. I've slept at work before. Now again, working
in radio and entertainment, things we can get away with more.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You can.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Like I had an office and there were times where
I didn't feel good, so I would close the door,
lock it, turn the line off, and take a little
power nap.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Well, I think a power nap is one thing. Three
hour three hour sleep is totally different.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, I never slept through the job.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's like if we were on the air at three o'clock,
I might sleep till about two forty five, then get
up and do my thing. I wouldn't sleep till four.
I've also never mooned. I've never mooned everybody in the
conference room. So that's one thing I haven't done that
she mentioned there. But as I go through the as
I go through my work history, my work experience, and
(21:35):
I think about the people that I've worked with over
the years, things that they've done, things that I've done.
Some of these things that she's going viral for really
aren't that crazy to me?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean, no, there's no firearms involved.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
There's no firearms involved.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You know what is crazy, though? Peeing in the corner,
not once, but twice and not getting fired, that's crazy.
Calling management idiots and not getting fired. That's crazy. Pissing
off clients and not getting fired. I think that would count.
Cutting your own internet line when working remotely and not
(22:10):
getting fired. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Not showing up for eight months straight and not getting fired.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's sleeping through a month of work.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He had the best job in the world and he
ruined it by dying.

He's Trey Trendheld. This is the Treehouse Show. It's Wednesday,
April eighth, twenty twenty five. Happy hump Day with no
loaded sentiment behind it whatsoever. Just happy Wednesday. See Trey,
there's nothing loaded in there. You're fine. Sure, we've got
(23:38):
to work on our trust issues. You know what you need?
You need an emotional support animal. Maybe that'll help you
with your PTSD and dealing with me. Over the twenty
years we've known each other. Would Daisy or chihuahua? Would
she do you have emotional support papers on her? Or
(24:00):
do you just hold her up? And everyone just kind
of says, yeah, okay, go ahead, because she's that adorable.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I've never had anyone really give me any grief about her.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I feel like Daisy is everyone's emotional support chihuahua.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, if Daisy doesn't bring a smile to your face
and there's just something wrong.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
With you that is the ultimate litmus test.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
If you don't smile when you see Daisy, there's something
severely wrong with you.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, or I'll say this. Over the years, she has
been one hundred percent. The very few people she's ever
coming across she did not like. They turned out to
not be good people.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Who was it?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Can you tell me? Do I know who it was?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Now?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You don't know any of them? All right? Damn it?
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well, it's good to know that there actually are people
out there, so it really does work as an actual
red flag test. Speaking of emotional support animals and Nevada
man was a avdaman got in trouble recently because of
his emotional support tigers. Yeah, you heard that correctly. A
(25:13):
avda man was arrested after officials seized seven tigers that
he claimed as his emotional support tigers. I would have
a difficult time trying to think of a worse animal
(25:35):
to have as an emotional support animal than a tiger.
Maybe emotional support moose. I mean, because if you're talking
about whether it's dangerous or just completely ridiculous, I mean,
there's you're not You're going to be hard pressed to
find something dumber than a tiger.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Well, I really feel like that an emotional support cat
of any type is an oxymoron at best, because they
don't care about your feelings. Oh, they're not here to
support your emotions.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
No, animal welfare workers recovered the tigers in cages at
Pa Rump, the home of longtime big cat handler Carl Mitchell,
last Wednesday. Pa Rump is a real town and it's
just outside Death Valley National Park. Now. Mister Mitchell claimed
he had obtained six of the seven large cats from
(26:29):
incarcerated zoo keeper Joseph Allen Maldonado. And if that name
sounds familiar to you, that's because he's better known as
Joe Exotic from the Netflix Docuseriies the Tiger King that
was so popular during the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You know, I knew as you're reading the story, I'm like,
that's Tiger King has got to be tied in somewhere
to this.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Now, here's an interesting twist, as if keeping seven emotional
support tigers on your property, on your property legally in
Nevada wasn't a twist enough. Joe Exotic himself has come
out publicly to denounce any involvement with this man and
his tigers from jail at the Federal Medical Facility in
(27:17):
Fort Worth. Joe Exotic denied giving anyone tigers. He said,
you need to quit slandering me on television before you
do your research. None of these tigers came from me,
he said. This is what he released on X slash Twitter.
He says, until you want a real story, leave my
name out of it. The sixty two year old Kansas
(27:38):
native is currently serving a twenty one year sentence at
the Federal Medical Facility in Fort Worth. In twenty nineteen,
he was convicted of nineteen counts of wildlife crimes and
two counts relating to a murder for higher case of
rival zoo operator Carol Baskin. So seven tigers seized from
a man in Parumph, Nevada. He claims they were emotion
(28:00):
will support tigers he got from Joe Exotic. Joe Exotic,
from federal prison publicly states, nuh uh, this has nothing
to do with me.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Why does a prisoner have an X account?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Great question? Great question? Why is he tweeting yea or
ex singer whatever it is that that Elon calls it
from his platform? But yeah, no, he's he says no, no, no,
these are these have nothing to do with me. I
want nothing. This is no connection to me whatsoever, vehemently
denying it. I'm not sure he denied the murder for
(28:38):
higher plot against Carol is as hard as he's denying this,
which would explain the reason why he's in jail for
twenty one years. But again, I'm gonna I'm gonna go
back to my original point. Of all the animals on
this planet, this man chose tigers to be his emotional
support animals. I mean, there, that's that's a level of
(29:01):
ridiculous that even you and I tray here inside the
Treehouse can respect and appreciate.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Again, I mean, if you're looking for emotional support from
a cat, you you have, you have. You have issues
that are so much deeper you are beyond help. Yeah,
and the cat's going no, God of the alligator.

Today is April eighth, twoenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today
(30:17):
hump day with some what what are you looking at
me like that?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
For today's the ninth? Is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh man, I've been saying the wrong date all day.
Thanks for catching it five segments in. You know, all right,
today is Wednesday, April ninth, twenty twenty five. So gen
Z can't read clocks and me, as gen X, I
can't read a calendar.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You're of an age. Now you just blame it on
your I sight.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
All right, it's because of my eyes, that's the problem.
Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Wednesday April ninth, two
thy twenty five. He played Brand Stark on Game of Thrones.
His actual name is Isaac Hempstead. Right, he's twenty six today, Trey.
(31:15):
You said you watched what was it the first season
to Game of Thrones? But no more. Yeah, there's I
don't know what account does it, but I've seen a
few videos online where someone will take from some AI
platform they'll take an established show and turn it on
its head, and someone did that with Game of Thrones.
(31:39):
They did an AI generated Game of Thrones intro, but
as like a like a sitcom, I think, and so
it had all the AI generated images of all the
characters in their faces. It was really really good. And actually,
because Game of Thrones is so high drama, high stakes,
people dying left and right, it's extremely gory and violent
(32:04):
and just not kid friendly whatsoever. So taking that show
and making it look like a sitcom pretty funny, especially
knowing some of the storylines that happened with some of
those people. So if you ever get a chance to
see some of those watch them. They're very very good.
Other birthdays today, El Fanning turns twenty seven. That is
Dakota Fanning's younger sister. Elle Fanning is Princess Aurora on
(32:27):
Maleficent and the sequel, and she's also Katherine the Great
on Hulu's The Great. Elle Fanning turns twenty seven today.
Stone faced Kristin Stewart is thirty five. She's probably best
known as what's her name in the Twilight movies.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We did this last time?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Did we?
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
We can never remember.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Her character Belle. She played bell or Bella. Is that
my dog's name, Bella?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Bella?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Now I regret naming my dog Bella anyway. Kristen Stewart,
the actress, is thirty five. Waitn me double check, yeah,
thirty five today. Christin Stewart thirty five today. There was
another movie she was in. I can't remember the name
of it and didn't see it, and I don't think
anybody else did. Where it was her in some sort
of research facility at the bottom of the ocean and
(33:21):
a scary monster thing is happening. I don't know about you,
but I've seen that. I've seen a version of that
movie no less than three times, and Hollywood seems to
revisit that trope on a pretty regular basis.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
All right, speaking of complete sidebar, because the number one
of those movies for me, it's kind of Abyss.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay, Number two for me is Leviathan.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I think. Okay, but have you ever read how awful
shooting The Abyss was like, to the point where the
cast will not talk about it.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, I'm not sure if I knew this? So this
was this was James Cameron directed The Abyss?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Right, I think so? But uh, oh, what's his name?
Played Ed Harris, like nearly died because of one of
the swimming scenes and holding his breath too long, and
how cold and miserable it was, and like, evidently that
scarred that cast for life.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
That really speaks volumes to me, because Ed Harris is
no wimpy man. That is a that is a man's man.
He is a manly actor. It's it's it's Ed freaking Harris.
So if Ed Harris won't talk about it it was
that bad and he had issues with things on the set,
(34:47):
then you know it must have been bad.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
If you ever want it. It's an interesting read to
go go read the like and it's just bits and
pieces because again the cast really won't talk about it,
but evidently filming that movie was quite traumatic.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Interesting And again we're talking about James Cameron who directed
The Abyss, and it seems I guess it kind of
makes sense. I mean, you're talking about a guy that
spent a lot of his life at the bottom of
the ocean floor, so maybe that that's where he feels
most comfortable, away from people and on the bottom of
(35:23):
the ocean.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I mean, I can relate to the man, but you
don't have to kill other people that do it, And
DiCaprio would have died if that was the case.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Oh, yeah, that is very true.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
But yeah, if you show up to work and you're
looking around at all the people that you're in charge
of that day and say, you know what, after this
is done, I think I'm going to take a vacation
two miles to the bottom of the ocean floor just
to look for stuff. I think that says some things
about you. Yeah, it says some things about us that
we think that. What's it like this time of year?

He's trade turn home Today is still Wednesday, April ninth,
twenty twenty five, now that I've got that correct. There
was a really, really fun story that happened the other day,
fun for us, not necessarily for the people involved in it.
(37:16):
And yeah, it happened in Florida. A man flipped out
after being denied a free refill at a kid's lemonade stand.
I mean, come on. A forty five year old man
in Florida named Stephen Cussomano stopped at a kid's lemonade
stand on Tuesday last week. He bought one glass of lemonade,
(37:37):
downed it, and then got mad when they wouldn't give
him a free refill. There was an adult woman at
the stand with several of these kids, and Stephen, the suspect,
confronted her and grabbed her by the wrist aggressively, according
to the police report, and was standing in a fighting
stance threatening to beat her up. He eventually walked away
and the woman called the police. They tracked him down
(37:59):
and arrested him. He confirmed the woman's story, but he
felt justified because he said he grabbed her because she
was talking crap to him. He didn't use the word crap,
he said something else, But he felt justified that since
she was speaking all sorts of things to him, that
he was allowed to grab her in an aggressive manner
and get into a fighting stance and threatened to beat
(38:20):
her up in front of a bunch of kids after
being denied a free refill at the kid's lemonade stand.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Probably paid like a dollar for a glass of lemonade,
and then he added his free refills.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yep, okay, the two things. Number one, What was in
that lemonade? I mean that sounds good. If you're willing
to fight people, If you're willing to fight children for
a free refill, that's got to be some good lemonade.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah. Well, I mean, is it because it was that
good when you just paid for the refill?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Maybe? Unless there's some of lemonade tariff going on that
I'm not aware of driving up the cost of lemonade. Look,
if it's forty five dollars for a cup of lemonade,
I can understand demanding a free refill.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Fair enough.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Yeah, but you're right if it's a dollar and it's
just these little kids, you know, doing their kid lemonade
stand Come on, man, yeah, I mean I don't know
if I don't know if kids lemonade stands do shot specials. Yeah,
although although if they did, Florida would be the place.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Oh yeah, there'd be a line. Yeah, that's just go Hey,
would you do that at a waffle house? I don't
think so. Oh here's the test, Trey.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
You've just touched on something new. Because when I was
a kid, it was it was the wristband? What would
Jesus do?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Test?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
So I like the new twenty first century version of
it is, would you do this at a waffle house?
Let that be the barometer by which you live your life.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Go lay hands on the waffle house person, see what happens.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Did you ever hear the story about the man that
laid hands on the waffle house cook? No you haven't. Okay,
I think we should get some wristbands made. For all
