Speaker 1 (00:26):
It is time to believe your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley, along
with Trey Trentholme and Raj Sharma. Thank you for joining
us today. We start with some tragic news. A mountaineer
died in a six hundred and fifty foot fall while
(00:48):
trying to take selfies on a snowy mountaintop.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Take it away, tray, No.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Sorry, Bubba, no no, oh, this is close to home
for you.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Oh no. A thirty one year old A thirty one
year old man was part of a hiking group at
Mount Nama when he slipped nari crevass after reportedly undoing
his safety rope to take selfies. He tragically plunged to
his death whilst attempting to capture a selfie during a trek.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Up the mountain.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
This happened at Mount Nama in Sichuan Province in China.
According to reports, the man known only as mister Hong
lost his footing near a crevass after allegedly removing his
safety rope to snap photographs on the snowy summit on
September twenty fifth. So very very sad news, mister Hong
(01:46):
met with tragedy while just trying to capture the moment
that he was at the peak of a mountain and
his life so sad. Also, we have video. No, this
is awful, This is really terrible, and we should all
(02:08):
be ashamed, but we're going to watch this anyway. Shut
your mouth. There he is top of the mountain. Whoa
(02:29):
like I said, we should all be ashamed, and the
people on that mountain should be ashamed because they did.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Nothing because they know not to undo with their safety rope.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I'm just gonna stand here on top of this mountain
attached to all my friends. Hey, look at that guy.
Oh he looks that. That looks bad. Hmmm, Raj you
can you can yet. You can bet your microphone all
you want, but we can see you're laughing at this tragedy.
(03:04):
This man died.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
There's actually another angle of this where the guy is
even closer and he just it's like just watching the
guy slide down and there's nothing you can do at
that point. I mean, you're you know, they're doing it
for the hype, not for the gram.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
All I would yell like tuck be small. I don't
to yell. But there's a different angle I gotta see that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I didn't see that angle. I don't know, but I
do have this angle.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Okay, I'm gonna show remorse. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Oh this guy in the orange at the front, I
mean he doesn't move, He just he looks like he's
just watching anything like, Oh, there he goes that guy.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You owe twenty two fifteen. Did she just say? Okay?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, that guy owed me ten bucks? Gave him a
power bar at Base Camp.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Ilitest thing i've seen in ages. Oh wait, uh Dan,
check your email?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Oh no, is it from his phone before the service
goes out? Fucking Verizon can't get.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Into work anywhere. Yes, if we're being honest, if you
can't get your phone service to work on top of
a frickin mountain, then we need more towers. Okay, here
is now the view from a different angle.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
No, why would you do this to me? I'm muting
so you can't see, you can't hear me.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You unmute. If you're gonna watch this man die, we're going.
The least you can do is give him your honest reaction.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Hmmm mm hmmm mm hmmm. I think it's this one.
And yeah, that's that one.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I know where this is going down off the cliff.
Who's recording this one?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The guide was like another one? I think, what's another one?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Bites the dust or some Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
No last chance with Mary Jane.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Higher by Creed. All right here, okay, here we go.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh he tried standing up. I didn't notice that before,
wouldn't you. I would have tried harder.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh this is.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, he went. He slid down over there that way. Yeah,
he went that way. It was really tragic and sad.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You know, we need parachutes.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Thank you, Thank you for stating something that I think
needs to be said about mountaineering. I'm not going to
do it without a parachute. I want a major backup.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Hm.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
That was it. I mean it was a closer angle.
I'm guessing they cut it off right as he flew off.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The did you catch yourself? See that's what happens to me,
my brain.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Out of respect for right right right, as right right?
Does he hit right? Does he hit his wily coyote?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Moment help? His guide was like make me and just
kept going.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is the point, this is the point, at our
total lack of disrespect for the dead, that I would
like to point out that he died because he unhooked
his safety harness and was taking selfies. This was his fault.
(07:55):
I'm I'm not trying to victim blame. Let me take
that back. I'm not trying to victim shame. I'm very
much victim blaming. This was his fault.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Uh h.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But there's a reason why there's the safety harness and
you don't unhook from it when you're on top of
a freaking mountain in China.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Listen, he went viral. He went he went off a cliff.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
First, what if he's not dead? What if he just
shows up at base camp like you motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Who unclipped me?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He holds it up and just been cut?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Did you Cara with a little bit of rope? I was?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I wanted one selfie, you motherfuckers. One selfie?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And you're right. He comes back to base camp bruised
and tattered and bloody, olymping, probably because he's probably got
a broken leg, and his one question for everybody at
base camp is what, Trey, did you find my phone? Any? Uh?
Do you see my phone? I think I got a
(09:12):
pretty good photo. I know how the internet likes their
updates to these viral stories.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Are you in my fucking tent. We haven't even confirmed
my death yet.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh God, so long mister hung Yeah, well, I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Sliding off the cliff and then how far was the
do we know how far the drop was? Like?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
How far did he fall?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah? About six hundred and fifty feet down the mountain
side whilst his fellow hikers looked on in horror. That's
according to the Daily Star story.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Okay, so I mean can you you you could survive that, right?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I mean I guess it depends on what you hit.
I mean the downside is he fell off a mountain
and at the bottom of mountain is more mountains because
this was this peak is five eighty eight meters. Oh
(10:24):
so I mean not exactly a boulder.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And not really I mean, that's not that tall of
a mountain. But uh.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
But yeah, did he at least hit post like when
he took the picture? Like what he did it?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Say to the cloud.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It should be easy. He's right there next to them.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
He is the cloud now.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
The ethereal mountaineer. They I mean, they seem Chinese concerned.
I don't know if you've been to Asia at all,
Like when anything tragic happens, like no, and nobody moves.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
They just do that.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh, I mean no, that's that's exactly what happened in
this video. Let's watch it again for the Chinese reaction.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, so this is what you This is how they
react to tragedy by Doug.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
H hang on, whoa lunch? Is it? Nobody stopped trekking.
I mean, I love my people.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
That's the you can't when you're man. That's why everyone
you die on Everest. You're stuck there because there's there's
nothing thing to do.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I will say with one brutal honesty that the people
on the top of this mountain reacted the exact same
way that I would have, which is nothing, because I
know that self preservation might innate need to survive would
have me locked in place because I am seeing with
(12:13):
my own eyes what happens when I don't do that,
and there he goes.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I don't know. I think I would disagree.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I think stoic would be Trey.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You would be compassionate.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I would be fucking falling out, laughing and I'm the
worst guy in person.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Oh no, I'd be like I think that would be
I'd be like it. I'd be like, is this really happening.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I don't Trey would be yelling at people like who
who unclipped him?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
What was he trying to do? And he's trying to
reason it. You would be like, oh my god, how
can we help me. I'd be like, I will get
up in a second, because I'm dying of.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Laughter right now. He died of that. I died of this.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The downside is the two of us are attached to you.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
The upside is I'm attached to a Sherpa. We're gonna
make it. Yeah, thank God for that.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I speak the language.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
If we ever find ourselves on the top of the mountain,
b I want to know what joke we told that
you got.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Us into this hell, it's probably gonna be this one.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, but be and then one of us on clips
to get a selfie.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I'll miss you, Bubba.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
If we're on top of a mountain and you look
at me like take my wife, please, I will shove.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You off that mountain.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I'll just poke and.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We're gonna miss Tray.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, he had a good run.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Down the hill.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
He's still going look at him the run of a lifetime.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I'm stunned that it was an Asian person. I was
very much Oh it's it's it's you know, ninety nine
percent of the times that's white written all over it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I don't want a white bash. I like, would you
do it?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well? You know that that case he died as a
one percent.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
In China with two point four billion people, I'll go
he was a point one.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
This feels like a good enough time to try to
change gears as much as possible into something different, slightly different, okay,
totally different. This headline was very very unexpected. Florida woman
wins Mortal Kombat tournament playing with newborn baby in arms.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Say that again.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Florida woman wins Mortal Kombat tournament playing with newborn baby
in her arms.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh that is dedication.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Or when you read that headline, the question to ask
might be, was it hers.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Finish him?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I mean, listen to this again. Florida woman wins Mortal
Kombat tournament playing with newborn baby in arms. The headline
didn't say it was hers had a baby.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's like, and it's.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Florida, so you can't exactly just just spell it.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
She just combined Grand Theft, Auto and Mortal Kombat. Like
I'm gonna steal a baby. I'm gonna fight some people.
Was it a Hispanic lady? Because this makes so much sense,
you know what, I'm not sure. Let's I don't even
know her name. I couldn't get past the headline. Uh
let's see. Oh there it is Legion. That's her gamer tag.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
L E g I zero in Legion is a three
D artist and mother who occasionally plays fighting games when
she has time in between working and taking care of
her newborn daughter SESA.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's A. That's yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
It's just it's just one letter missing from Servesa. It
really is. That's how it's spelled her name. Then the
kid's name is Sisa, spelled like Servesa without the v okay.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Her brothers Modelo and dose EQI stone like that.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Uh one family, though Gills have not dulled a bit
in spite of the new addition to her family, as
evidenced by her viral victory at her local monthly tournament,
Juicy Game Night in Orlando. Juicy Game Night hosts tournaments
for a slew of different fighting games, one of those
being Mortal Kombat x L and on Saturday, September twenty seventh,
(16:53):
the Florida fighting game community gathered together to put their
skills to the test, and the results took social media
buy storm. Baby Siresa was born in September twenty second,
twenty twenty five, via C section. Pregnancy was complicated and
Legion had developed a uterine window, a condition where the
material of the uter so it severely thin from previous
sections to the point where it's nearly transparent. Also, severe
(17:17):
pain leading up to the birth could have ruptured her uterus.
Five days after all that, though, she still went and
won this Mortal Kombat tournament against all her gamer friends,
to which she told all of them, who's your mummy?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Be the Oblasion, I'm gonna put this game on menopause
because all those symptoms actually caused menopause.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Oh okay, yeah, the Mother of All games. That really
isn't it? Really is impressive? Like she was able to
give birth and then five days later she was able
to stay seated and use her thumbs to win a
Mortal Kombat tournament.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Well she should she should be seated, Like it's not
good to move with all of that happening. You're you're
leading up to a hysterectomy, is what?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Or hers. I don't have I don't know the pronouns.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Well, you know what, if this is what she does
after the C section, baby, I can't wait to see
what she accomplishes after that hysterectomy.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I want to see the doctor.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
She's wearing a headset rush and his gamer tag is
doctor d O C T three R.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, good for her.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I saw the picture, and uh, yeah, that's kind of impressive. Yeah,
I've never liked a game that much. I've never like
video game that much.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I didn't. I don't.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I don't have the hand eye coordination to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It's never too late to start. Start with Tetris and
then work your way forward.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I love Tetris, but I'm Indian.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Uh, and so I like the the angles and the yeah,
but I can't do like the the combat stuff, like
the what's the what's the big one?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
That street fighter? Okay, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Do that because I I start looking at the other
person is me, so I'm not looking at myself.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It is odd. You're overly empathetic even in video games.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I I you know, I'm Hindu. That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, I definitely don't play Mortal Kombat. That'll that'll break you.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
No, the Hindu version Immortal Kombat is Uh, it's so great.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
We all we all come back as cows. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
It's nice, it's got a great name. But I bet
it's a boring game.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Finish him again, he's back.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Goddamn it. How many lives does this guy have?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
How many levels? Is this game never hit Nirvana at
this point? All right? And finally, after reading this headline,
we have some serious questions. Australian doc worker reinstated after
telling co workers he put penis in sandwich. Here's my question,
(20:29):
was it his penis or somebody else's?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I don't know how you missed that spit take.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
And then I know Trey has a question about the
headline as well.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, what the fuck does it take to get fired
in Australia.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You're right because he got reinstated.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well you know it wasn't a five dollars foot long.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Oh. Australian doc worker reinstated after telling coworkers he put
penis in sandwich. This is where you need you need
You need a pronoun in here. You need some type
of qualifying term, either his penis or a penis. You
need to put something in there so we know what
was actually in this sandwich. An Australian doc worker won
(21:16):
his job back after he was fired for, among other things,
telling a colleague he put his penis in his subway sandwich.
I don't think that should get you fired if you
put your penis in your own sandwich, Rob Order, Yeah.
Robert Smith, sixty two was fired from his job in
(21:36):
Melbourne in January. His employer accused him of showing male
co workers bikini clad photos of female colleagues, telling one
he had spat and put his look in his subway sandwich,
and calling a colleague a useless piece of shit and
a condescending punt.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
But it's Australia, so that's.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
That's the way far down the list compared to putting
your dick in a sandwich.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
The worker, Trey Tronholm, said, that's it's Trey's day job.
This is his double ganger in Australia's just putting Dixon say,
which isn't calling people cuts.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
He took his former employer to the Australian Fair Work
Commission arguing unreasonable dismissal, with the Commission ultimately ruling in
his favor once again hang on. Commissioner Scott Connolly said
determination was harsh, unjust and unreasonable. He said the company
is to reinstate mister Robert Smith by reappointing him to
(22:44):
the position in which he was employed immediately before the dismissal,
which begs the question again that Trey.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Had What the fuck does it take to get fired
in Australia, Dad, damn it?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I guess. I guess maybe at that point if he
had put his penis in somebody else's sandwich, then maybe
the firing would have stuck.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So that's not egregious enough to get fired. By putting
your own penis in your sandwich, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And calling your fellow employees a C word, yeah yeah yeah,
But by Australian standards, you're that's nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
But if you put it in somebody else's sandwich, that
might be grounds for termination.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Might be.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It also depends on your employer. The Australian Fair Work
Commission didn't see this or these acts as heinous enough
to warrant being terminated, so I can only surmise that
the Australian Fair Work Commission has the same firing and
termination guidelines that I heart radio does Oh do you
(23:59):
pissed in the studio? That's fine, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I mean, I bet if they had ordered a vegemite
sandwich and they got a penis by mistake, then you
know that's fireable.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Now yeah, now you're being put to death. I actually
like vegemite. I've had it. It's it's delightful. I've not
had a penis, so I.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Don't know the difference.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
They sound very similar.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Though they were both black.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Oh that's dolomite, named after a mountain. By the way.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
All that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
For all things Treehouse hit us up on Treehouse on
Air dot com. You can also find and follow the
show on social media at Treehouse on Air. For me,
it's at the Dan O'Malley, For Trey, it's at tree
Trimhome one, and Foraj it's at Comedian Raj. See you
next time right here inside the Treehouse
It is time to believe your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley, along
with Trey Trentholme and Raj Sharma. Thank you for joining
us today. We start with some tragic news. A mountaineer
died in a six hundred and fifty foot fall while
(00:48):
trying to take selfies on a snowy mountaintop.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Take it away, tray, No.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Sorry, Bubba, no no, oh, this is close to home
for you.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Oh no. A thirty one year old A thirty one
year old man was part of a hiking group at
Mount Nama when he slipped nari crevass after reportedly undoing
his safety rope to take selfies. He tragically plunged to
his death whilst attempting to capture a selfie during a trek.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Up the mountain.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
This happened at Mount Nama in Sichuan Province in China.
According to reports, the man known only as mister Hong
lost his footing near a crevass after allegedly removing his
safety rope to snap photographs on the snowy summit on
September twenty fifth. So very very sad news, mister Hong
(01:46):
met with tragedy while just trying to capture the moment
that he was at the peak of a mountain and
his life so sad. Also, we have video. No, this
is awful, This is really terrible, and we should all
(02:08):
be ashamed, but we're going to watch this anyway. Shut
your mouth. There he is top of the mountain. Whoa
(02:29):
like I said, we should all be ashamed, and the
people on that mountain should be ashamed because they did.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Nothing because they know not to undo with their safety rope.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I'm just gonna stand here on top of this mountain
attached to all my friends. Hey, look at that guy.
Oh he looks that. That looks bad. Hmmm, Raj you
can you can yet. You can bet your microphone all
you want, but we can see you're laughing at this tragedy.
(03:04):
This man died.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
There's actually another angle of this where the guy is
even closer and he just it's like just watching the
guy slide down and there's nothing you can do at
that point. I mean, you're you know, they're doing it
for the hype, not for the gram.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
All I would yell like tuck be small. I don't
to yell. But there's a different angle I gotta see that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I didn't see that angle. I don't know, but I
do have this angle.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Okay, I'm gonna show remorse. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Oh this guy in the orange at the front, I
mean he doesn't move, He just he looks like he's
just watching anything like, Oh, there he goes that guy.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You owe twenty two fifteen. Did she just say? Okay?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, that guy owed me ten bucks? Gave him a
power bar at Base Camp.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Ilitest thing i've seen in ages. Oh wait, uh Dan,
check your email?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Oh no, is it from his phone before the service
goes out? Fucking Verizon can't get.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Into work anywhere. Yes, if we're being honest, if you
can't get your phone service to work on top of
a frickin mountain, then we need more towers. Okay, here
is now the view from a different angle.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
No, why would you do this to me? I'm muting
so you can't see, you can't hear me.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You unmute. If you're gonna watch this man die, we're going.
The least you can do is give him your honest reaction.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Hmmm mm hmmm mm hmmm. I think it's this one.
And yeah, that's that one.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I know where this is going down off the cliff.
Who's recording this one?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The guide was like another one? I think, what's another one?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Bites the dust or some Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
No last chance with Mary Jane.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Higher by Creed. All right here, okay, here we go.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh he tried standing up. I didn't notice that before,
wouldn't you. I would have tried harder.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh this is.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, he went. He slid down over there that way. Yeah,
he went that way. It was really tragic and sad.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You know, we need parachutes.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Thank you, Thank you for stating something that I think
needs to be said about mountaineering. I'm not going to
do it without a parachute. I want a major backup.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Hm.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
That was it. I mean it was a closer angle.
I'm guessing they cut it off right as he flew off.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The did you catch yourself? See that's what happens to me,
my brain.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Out of respect for right right right, as right right?
Does he hit right? Does he hit his wily coyote?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Moment help? His guide was like make me and just
kept going.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is the point, this is the point, at our
total lack of disrespect for the dead, that I would
like to point out that he died because he unhooked
his safety harness and was taking selfies. This was his fault.
(07:55):
I'm I'm not trying to victim blame. Let me take
that back. I'm not trying to victim shame. I'm very
much victim blaming. This was his fault.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Uh h.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But there's a reason why there's the safety harness and
you don't unhook from it when you're on top of
a freaking mountain in China.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Listen, he went viral. He went he went off a cliff.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
First, what if he's not dead? What if he just
shows up at base camp like you motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Who unclipped me?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He holds it up and just been cut?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Did you Cara with a little bit of rope? I was?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I wanted one selfie, you motherfuckers. One selfie?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And you're right. He comes back to base camp bruised
and tattered and bloody, olymping, probably because he's probably got
a broken leg, and his one question for everybody at
base camp is what, Trey, did you find my phone? Any? Uh?
Do you see my phone? I think I got a
(09:12):
pretty good photo. I know how the internet likes their
updates to these viral stories.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Are you in my fucking tent. We haven't even confirmed
my death yet.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh God, so long mister hung Yeah, well, I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Sliding off the cliff and then how far was the
do we know how far the drop was? Like?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
How far did he fall?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah? About six hundred and fifty feet down the mountain
side whilst his fellow hikers looked on in horror. That's
according to the Daily Star story.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Okay, so I mean can you you you could survive that, right?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I mean I guess it depends on what you hit.
I mean the downside is he fell off a mountain
and at the bottom of mountain is more mountains because
this was this peak is five eighty eight meters. Oh
(10:24):
so I mean not exactly a boulder.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And not really I mean, that's not that tall of
a mountain. But uh.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
But yeah, did he at least hit post like when
he took the picture? Like what he did it?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Say to the cloud.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It should be easy. He's right there next to them.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
He is the cloud now.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
The ethereal mountaineer. They I mean, they seem Chinese concerned.
I don't know if you've been to Asia at all,
Like when anything tragic happens, like no, and nobody moves.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
They just do that.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh, I mean no, that's that's exactly what happened in
this video. Let's watch it again for the Chinese reaction.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, so this is what you This is how they
react to tragedy by Doug.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
H hang on, whoa lunch? Is it? Nobody stopped trekking.
I mean, I love my people.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
That's the you can't when you're man. That's why everyone
you die on Everest. You're stuck there because there's there's
nothing thing to do.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I will say with one brutal honesty that the people
on the top of this mountain reacted the exact same
way that I would have, which is nothing, because I
know that self preservation might innate need to survive would
have me locked in place because I am seeing with
(12:13):
my own eyes what happens when I don't do that,
and there he goes.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I don't know. I think I would disagree.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I think stoic would be Trey.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You would be compassionate.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I would be fucking falling out, laughing and I'm the
worst guy in person.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Oh no, I'd be like I think that would be
I'd be like it. I'd be like, is this really happening.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I don't Trey would be yelling at people like who
who unclipped him?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
What was he trying to do? And he's trying to
reason it. You would be like, oh my god, how
can we help me. I'd be like, I will get
up in a second, because I'm dying of.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Laughter right now. He died of that. I died of this.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The downside is the two of us are attached to you.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
The upside is I'm attached to a Sherpa. We're gonna
make it. Yeah, thank God for that.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I speak the language.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
If we ever find ourselves on the top of the mountain,
b I want to know what joke we told that
you got.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Us into this hell, it's probably gonna be this one.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, but be and then one of us on clips
to get a selfie.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I'll miss you, Bubba.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
If we're on top of a mountain and you look
at me like take my wife, please, I will shove.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You off that mountain.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I'll just poke and.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We're gonna miss Tray.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, he had a good run.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Down the hill.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
He's still going look at him the run of a lifetime.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I'm stunned that it was an Asian person. I was
very much Oh it's it's it's you know, ninety nine
percent of the times that's white written all over it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I don't want a white bash. I like, would you
do it?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well? You know that that case he died as a
one percent.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
In China with two point four billion people, I'll go
he was a point one.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
This feels like a good enough time to try to
change gears as much as possible into something different, slightly different, okay,
totally different. This headline was very very unexpected. Florida woman
wins Mortal Kombat tournament playing with newborn baby in arms.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Say that again.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Florida woman wins Mortal Kombat tournament playing with newborn baby
in her arms.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh that is dedication.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Or when you read that headline, the question to ask
might be, was it hers.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Finish him?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I mean, listen to this again. Florida woman wins Mortal
Kombat tournament playing with newborn baby in arms. The headline
didn't say it was hers had a baby.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's like, and it's.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Florida, so you can't exactly just just spell it.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
She just combined Grand Theft, Auto and Mortal Kombat. Like
I'm gonna steal a baby. I'm gonna fight some people.
Was it a Hispanic lady? Because this makes so much sense,
you know what, I'm not sure. Let's I don't even
know her name. I couldn't get past the headline. Uh
let's see. Oh there it is Legion. That's her gamer tag.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
L E g I zero in Legion is a three
D artist and mother who occasionally plays fighting games when
she has time in between working and taking care of
her newborn daughter SESA.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's A. That's yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
It's just it's just one letter missing from Servesa. It
really is. That's how it's spelled her name. Then the
kid's name is Sisa, spelled like Servesa without the v okay.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Her brothers Modelo and dose EQI stone like that.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Uh one family, though Gills have not dulled a bit
in spite of the new addition to her family, as
evidenced by her viral victory at her local monthly tournament,
Juicy Game Night in Orlando. Juicy Game Night hosts tournaments
for a slew of different fighting games, one of those
being Mortal Kombat x L and on Saturday, September twenty seventh,
(16:53):
the Florida fighting game community gathered together to put their
skills to the test, and the results took social media
buy storm. Baby Siresa was born in September twenty second,
twenty twenty five, via C section. Pregnancy was complicated and
Legion had developed a uterine window, a condition where the
material of the uter so it severely thin from previous
sections to the point where it's nearly transparent. Also, severe
(17:17):
pain leading up to the birth could have ruptured her uterus.
Five days after all that, though, she still went and
won this Mortal Kombat tournament against all her gamer friends,
to which she told all of them, who's your mummy?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Be the Oblasion, I'm gonna put this game on menopause
because all those symptoms actually caused menopause.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Oh okay, yeah, the Mother of All games. That really
isn't it? Really is impressive? Like she was able to
give birth and then five days later she was able
to stay seated and use her thumbs to win a
Mortal Kombat tournament.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Well she should she should be seated, Like it's not
good to move with all of that happening. You're you're
leading up to a hysterectomy, is what?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Or hers. I don't have I don't know the pronouns.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Well, you know what, if this is what she does
after the C section, baby, I can't wait to see
what she accomplishes after that hysterectomy.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I want to see the doctor.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
She's wearing a headset rush and his gamer tag is
doctor d O C T three R.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, good for her.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I saw the picture, and uh, yeah, that's kind of impressive. Yeah,
I've never liked a game that much. I've never like
video game that much.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I didn't. I don't.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I don't have the hand eye coordination to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It's never too late to start. Start with Tetris and
then work your way forward.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I love Tetris, but I'm Indian.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Uh, and so I like the the angles and the yeah,
but I can't do like the the combat stuff, like
the what's the what's the big one?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
That street fighter? Okay, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Do that because I I start looking at the other
person is me, so I'm not looking at myself.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It is odd. You're overly empathetic even in video games.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I I you know, I'm Hindu. That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, I definitely don't play Mortal Kombat. That'll that'll break you.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
No, the Hindu version Immortal Kombat is Uh, it's so great.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
We all we all come back as cows. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
It's nice, it's got a great name. But I bet
it's a boring game.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Finish him again, he's back.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Goddamn it. How many lives does this guy have?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
How many levels? Is this game never hit Nirvana at
this point? All right? And finally, after reading this headline,
we have some serious questions. Australian doc worker reinstated after
telling co workers he put penis in sandwich. Here's my question,
(20:29):
was it his penis or somebody else's?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I don't know how you missed that spit take.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
And then I know Trey has a question about the
headline as well.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, what the fuck does it take to get fired
in Australia.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You're right because he got reinstated.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well you know it wasn't a five dollars foot long.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Oh. Australian doc worker reinstated after telling coworkers he put
penis in sandwich. This is where you need you need
You need a pronoun in here. You need some type
of qualifying term, either his penis or a penis. You
need to put something in there so we know what
was actually in this sandwich. An Australian doc worker won
(21:16):
his job back after he was fired for, among other things,
telling a colleague he put his penis in his subway sandwich.
I don't think that should get you fired if you
put your penis in your own sandwich, Rob Order, Yeah.
Robert Smith, sixty two was fired from his job in
(21:36):
Melbourne in January. His employer accused him of showing male
co workers bikini clad photos of female colleagues, telling one
he had spat and put his look in his subway sandwich,
and calling a colleague a useless piece of shit and
a condescending punt.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
But it's Australia, so that's.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
That's the way far down the list compared to putting
your dick in a sandwich.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
The worker, Trey Tronholm, said, that's it's Trey's day job.
This is his double ganger in Australia's just putting Dixon say,
which isn't calling people cuts.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
He took his former employer to the Australian Fair Work
Commission arguing unreasonable dismissal, with the Commission ultimately ruling in
his favor once again hang on. Commissioner Scott Connolly said
determination was harsh, unjust and unreasonable. He said the company
is to reinstate mister Robert Smith by reappointing him to
(22:44):
the position in which he was employed immediately before the dismissal,
which begs the question again that Trey.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Had What the fuck does it take to get fired
in Australia, Dad, damn it?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I guess. I guess maybe at that point if he
had put his penis in somebody else's sandwich, then maybe
the firing would have stuck.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So that's not egregious enough to get fired. By putting
your own penis in your sandwich, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And calling your fellow employees a C word, yeah yeah yeah,
But by Australian standards, you're that's nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
But if you put it in somebody else's sandwich, that
might be grounds for termination.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Might be.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It also depends on your employer. The Australian Fair Work
Commission didn't see this or these acts as heinous enough
to warrant being terminated, so I can only surmise that
the Australian Fair Work Commission has the same firing and
termination guidelines that I heart radio does Oh do you
(23:59):
pissed in the studio? That's fine, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I mean, I bet if they had ordered a vegemite
sandwich and they got a penis by mistake, then you
know that's fireable.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Now yeah, now you're being put to death. I actually
like vegemite. I've had it. It's it's delightful. I've not
had a penis, so I.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Don't know the difference.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
They sound very similar.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Though they were both black.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Oh that's dolomite, named after a mountain. By the way.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
All that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
