Speaker 1 (00:16):
It is time for me to get more decongestent. Yeah,
all right, that'll get me through the next few minutes.
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the tree house. I'm Daniel Maalley, along
(00:37):
with a clear chested Trey Trenholm and a face clogged
Raj Sharma. It is Thursday, August seventh, twenty twenty five.
Thank you everyone for being in attendance today, not just us,
but for you listening. Trey. Uh recommendation to get rid
(00:58):
of the chest stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Uh. If it's in your chest, you need to go
see a doctor.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, all right, what else do you got I'm gonna
go with. I'm gonna go with. The other option is doctor.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, you're coughing stuff up.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
A little bit this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
If if you feel like you've got a bunch of
fluid in there but it's not coming up, then I
would get an expectorant like musinex h D. M Okay.
If you want something to dry you up, then you
need to get like the musin x D. When you
have to get from behind the pharmacy counter and you
have to show them your ID.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, that's good stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, but uh, if it's if it's green, then you've
got an active infection going on.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Gotcha. It's interesting because back in my smoking days, it
was hard to tell whether or not you had an
infection because you cough stuff and it was interesting colors anyway,
usually more of the brown tint. Speaking of which, Raj,
is there something.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
There's incense going from my morning prayers?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, got one. That's why I didn't know if you
had some sort of different therapy you were doing with
your face, stuff like like hot vics.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
What IFEL was like, no, it could just be ghosts.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I And I'm also a big advocate of the sinus.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Rents, the netty pot thing.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's it's Doctor Neil's sinus rints, but it's a squeeze bottle,
not the netty pot. But I can't do the netty pot.
It's such an awkward deal, but same principle. It's just
a little more force, but it really cleans out your sinuses.
And I I have been doing it for I don't know,
fourteen fifteen years now, and it's a.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Little more forced, like power washing my sinuses. Yes, Oh,
I've recently come out of the power washing closet. I'm
a big, big fan of that. So if there's a
way to power wash my insides, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I mean it's not as therapeutic because I can't see
the muck and the grime disappearing, but at least i'd
be able to feel it.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh no, no, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You'll see it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh yeah, when you when you when you power wash
your sinuses, the stuff that comes out, especially when you're sick. Oh,
it's a doozy.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Oh where does it come out? I was just thinking
it just like you. I was still get just kind
of drained.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, you squeeze the bottle so it goes up one
side one nostril and down the other. But you're renting
out your sinuses where all this crap is and uh boy,
oh you can get Oh. When I've had some science infections,
I have had stuff come out. I mean you're like,
how does that much stuff fit in there? I mean
it it's and it's usually like that good neon green yeah, inhale,
(04:04):
but it's cleaning those sinuses out, so they it helps
a lot.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Same with like a colon rinse. It'll be.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Interesting you mention that because I've heard of two separate
stories that are huge red flags about certain rinses. One
was a quote unquote influencer who did like five coffee
inemas a day and decided to go with that as
opposed to chemo for the cancer she was diagnosed with. Obviously,
(04:39):
that made news because she died. Uh So on top
of that, there was a Nettie Pot story. I'm pretty
sure it was a Netty Pot thing. I don't remember
with the details of it, but it made the news
and some lady was doing Netty Pot stuff and it
did something bad to her. I don't know if if
she had like a flesh eating bacteria thing that she
(04:59):
was trying, did Nettie Pot flesh out of her or something.
But it's just weird that those two things. Well, actually
it's not weird. We're humans. We can ruin anything we
get our hands on. I can see if I can
find that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I mean, yeah, if you're using a Nettie Pot to
try to teach to treat flesh hitting eating bacteria, yeah,
that's yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
And if you're if you're doing coffee for cancer, that
sounds like a fundraiser, but that's not.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, let's not energize the cancer.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, and that's more like walking up to a three
alarm fire and going.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I got an idea, I'm a fireman, bring me a fan.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I actually had it pretty close to accurate. This is
twenty eighteen when the story happened, but I know I
just saw something about it recently. December twenty eighteen, a
Seattle woman died after becoming infected with a brain eating
a meal. The woman told her doctor she had used
tap water and a nettie pot instead of saline or
(06:06):
something else, so she wasn't trying to wash out the
brain eating amba with the nettie pot. She got the
brain eating amiba from the netti pot tap water, but she.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Didn't use the saline solution, so she'd just put tap
water in there.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, it says she used yeah, instead of saline or still,
instead of saline or sterile water, she used tap water
in the netty pot.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
We'll do it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
The whole purpose of the nettypot is you put the
little saline solution in there, then you put the water in.
But nice you have warm water.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
And uh sterilize everything.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, you know, I'm really glad that this. Okay, I'm
not glad this woman died, but it teaches me a
valuable lesson because if there's anyone on this planet that,
instead of spending money on buying a nettie pot, that
would just shove a garden hose up my nose, it's me. Yeah,
because it's not about necessarily cutting corners. But I feel
(07:00):
like if there's a you know, a cheaper version, I
don't like being taken advantage of. If there's a cheap
version I can do at home that gets the same result,
I'll do that now, keeping in mind, if things are
bad enough, I will go to the doctor. I'm not,
you know, an idiot man about it, but you know,
usually when the netty pot stuff I see it, I don't.
(07:21):
I don't think I even knew that you were supposed
to use a saline thing. Usually when I've seen people
do it, they're using tap water.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
But yeah, she cut corners too and got a flesh
eating amba or a brain eating Ambat packets they come
with little packets of saline solution, and yes, tell wman
to open.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Put it in there. Put you can put tap water
in there and you're fine.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
See there's a neurosurgeon who operated on the sixty nine
year old woman. She arrived in the hospital's er suffering seizures.
Doctors thought she had a tumor previously diagnosed with breast cancer.
Sore on her nose would not go away. When they operated,
he discovered its tumor the size of a dime. He
removed that he thought it looked suspicious for ambit infection.
(08:09):
He said he was pretty shockedcause he had never seen
that before. Her condition quickly deteriorated. After about two weeks,
he performed another surgery removed the mass the size of
a baseball, and pictures disease. Doctors contacted CDC and they
sent medicine for it, but the woman could not be saved.
So I get it doesn't say whether or not she
(08:31):
knew she had the infection from the amibia. I'm guessing
she didn't, But the doctors still say they think her
death was ultimately tied to her use of the nettypot.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Improper use of the nettie pot.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well, yeah, yeah, all right, so I'll take your warnings.
I appreciate it. If me garden hosing and power washing
my lungs doesn't work over the next two days, then
I will go to the doctor. I'm not going to
avoid it entirely.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Okay, And if you get a brain eating amba from
a garden hose in the US Virgin Islands, then it.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Can't be any worse than the brain activity I currently have.
If you are.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Listening to the Treehouse, visit us online at Treehouse on
Air dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Hell, it might it might have the opposite effect. I
might actually restore some brain function in my head. Time
out to talk to Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration.
To get your free roof inspection, call the Man eight
three three cook DFW the website cookdfw dot com.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Daniel.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
How long does it typically take for a small problem
on a roof to turn into a big problem?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Man?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It all depends on the type.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Of roof you have, depends on the age of the roof,
depends on you know where roof the problem is at,
and so all those variables are extremely challenging to try
to put in a time slot. But I will tell
you that's why it's so important to get your roof
checked out at least once a year so those things
are caught because it might not show its head at first,
(10:08):
and then you know, a year goes by and then
all of a sudden you striving a problem. So definitely important.
You know, like we've talked about before, flashings, you know,
penetrations on shingles, you know, scraping from trees, rodents, wear
and tear issues when that you can't see shingles blown
off in parts of your roof because you have a
two story house that you can't see from the ground.
(10:31):
These are all reasons why you have to get us
to come out. It's a free visual inspection. We'll take
some pictures, we'll show you what you have wrong, believe
it or not. I would say almost eighty five percent
of the roofs that we jump up on do not
need a roof replacement, and people are shocked when we
come back down. And so it's just education, it's just
protecting your home.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That's what we're here to do.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And giving an honest assessment to people. So give danielan
is very excellent team a call today. They will be
honest with you about what they find. Eight three to
three cook DFWCOKDFW use that today or also hit that

This segment of the Treehouse is brought to you by

to get a quote on a new outdoor space, thus

three Cook DFW. That's eight three three Cook DFW or
(11:42):
their website cookdfw dot com. It's an interesting world we
live in, gentlemen. Case in point. Earlier this year, we
learned that Washington State successfully eradicated their murder hornet threat
in the Pacific northwest right, but now we have a
new nightmare flying around. Radioactive wasps and nests have been
(12:06):
found at a Cold War era nuclear site in South Carolina.
Investigators found hot nests inside a nuclear weapons facility in
South Carolina, with scientists warning it could be evidence of
either a leek or contamination that was not previously detected.
(12:26):
The US Department of Energy said that nests are not
believed to pose their risk to workers or the surrounding community,
which tells us that we should all be terrified.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I would burn I would burn it to the ground,
all of it. There would be no South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I kind of think you have to, don't you.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, No, the whole, the whole, the whole state gone by.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
North Carolina had a good run. You're one of the ogs,
but we got we gotta do what's right for the
rest of the forty.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Nine radioactive wasps. What are we doing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
With babies because these are nests? Yeah? No, no, I
mean I mentioned this earlier, but seriously, as humans, what
can't we ruin?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
I'm allergic to bees. I can't imagine what a radioactive
wasp would do to me.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
At best, turn you into the toxic avenger. That is
best case scenario.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
That would be my punishment. I'd be wasp man.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Baby. Check out my stinger.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
It's radioactive.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You're just a glowing creep. There's no actual power that
comes with it. No, okay, according to doctor According to
doctor Timothy Mousseau, a biologist at the University of South Carolina,
So this is interesting. So the problem is in North Carolina,
but they're having the bro from South Carolina do the research.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I think it's South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, I think what's South Carolina?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It's South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh it was Why did I oh, it was South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
My bad.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I don't know why I was thinking it was North Yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Was trying to knock off North Carolina for no reason.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I guess, so go found no idea why guilt by association? Anyways,
my apologies. Biologists at the University of South Carolina is dead.
This is an indicator that there are contaminants spread across
this area that had not been completely encased and protected.
Oh he's good. He's doctor Timothy Smart, that one, he says.
(14:34):
A total of four contaminated nests have now been found
at the facility near Aiken, around twenty miles east of Augusta, Georgia.
That's according to federal officials. A first nest was discovered
by workers at the Savannah River site, which produced material
for nuclear weapons during the Cold War.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
All right, so Georgia has got to go too, Okay, good,
good enough, just kind.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Of carve out a whole section of the se see
in the a CC. Sorry, guys, Yeah, Georgia's gone. Uh
and the game Cocks are gone. Uh so isn't isn't
it the Charlotte Hornets. Isn't that the team?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But that's North Carolina?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That's yeah, that's gotta go too. It's it's too close.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So this is one of those things, though, I feel
like we're gonna look back and there. Had they just
taken a flamethrower to them and just eradicated them, we'd
all been okay. But something tells me they're not gonna
do it, and they're gonna study him, and this is
where everything goes wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You thought COVID was bad.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
I don't think you can get I don't think you
can get a jab for radioactive wasp.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh they'll give you a jab. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And Raj you said that if radioactive wasps, you know,
radioactive wasps, Jesus Christ, radioactive wasps being found in South
Carolina at a former nuclear site would mean we'd have
to get rid of all the surrounding areas, all the
things in the surrounding areas, like the South Carolina game cocks,
whereas I contend, you may not have to get rid
(16:16):
of them, because, like Trey said, we'll probably just study
these things like a bunch of idiots, which means we'll
be okay with a bunch of radioactive game cocks running around.
Well no, no, no, no, no, hang on. Now, let's not
destroy these yet. This is pretty interesting. You got radioactive
cocks hopping around. Let's take a look at these a
little bit and see what happens.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And here's the thing for South Carolina fans, they would
gladly take radioactive game cocks if it would make them
ten and two.

(17:34):
of every day that you're angry about something, but I'd
say at least once a day something gets under your skin.
So what are the boys?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, am I just once a day?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Well, I'm trying to soft sell a little bit because
you're not You're not like, you're not the full on
stereotypical angry white man or just angry middle aged demand.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Because angry well not like I was, not like not
like I was when I drank.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
So yeah, for those that for those that don't know,
this is laid back.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Tray, yeah's patient trade.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So I'll let this be a surprise Toarase as you
announce it to him. What has gotten under your skin?
Most recently?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
So, I was walking out of Sam's the other day. Boy,
scouts have a table set up. Okay, popcorn. It's like
they're selling popcorn. Okay, I always try to you know,
I'm more than happy to buy something here for the cause.
I look around. They've got ye and just a bag
(18:47):
of white shutar popcorn. Nothing big, like a normal like
you would buy in the store. Right, I'm like, okay,
I'll take one of those twenty five dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
What excuse me?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
How big is this bag?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Like a normal bag of like anything like you would
buy at the grocery store. Okay, I mean, you know,
the big bag, but not not like the jumbo bag
of popcorn or anything like tall. Yeah, I mean, you know,
like the I don't even know how big they are,
but just the big bag of chips you would buy
at the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, Let's compare it to movie popcorn. If you go
to the movie theater for popcorn, we're talking small medium.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm a guess, probably a medium.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay, so you thought movie popcorn was overpriced, cowboy not
cowboys boy scouts are hopping them for twenty five bucks?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Are they making the popcorn right then and there in
front of you. Are they across the street in a
field harvesting the corn and then by hand to get
a badge, of course, making the popcorn themselves. Wow, So
(20:01):
they're just middlemanning this popcorn operation. They're buying it from someplace,
and then they're doing a drastic markup and reeking in,
raking in the profits.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Well then and then they're like, oh, it's a donation.
I'm like no, Like, if you're.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Not fulling me, Like I'm not falling for this like
I did with NPR and that damn coffee mug.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I'm like, you're not your your sugar slinging scout sisters.
You know they can get away with that, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, because they're actually selling drugs. Sugar is a drug.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
They throw out thin minutes. You just give them your card, yep.
You just hope they don't take all your money. But
I'm like, no, y'all, don't go out at the opposite way,
say hey, for a minimum donation, pick your bag of popcorn. Okay,
that sounds like I'm getting something for my donations.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Fra.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, trying to jack me for uh twenty five dollars
for a bag of popcorn.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Well, that is a fun badge that not all boy
Scouts get. It's the Jackmie badge.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Ooh, a lot of them get that.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Maybe that's why the bags of popcorn are twenty five dollars.
They're having to pay off all sorts of lawsuits. You're
not just buying a bag of popcorn. You're also purchasing
therapy for so many victims.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
It's the Jackney corn.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
We also have to pay a little bit into the
housing for Scout Master Kevin, and by housing I mean jail.
You're right, note Tramman, twenty five dollars for a bag
of popcorn is an absolute ripoff, and they should take
a page out of their sugar slinging sisters. Like you said,
(21:51):
the girl Scout. At least the popcorn that they're selling
combine the two worlds, like, get that popcorn that has
like the chocolate and the nuts and clusters and things
like that.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
O the drizzle.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, well, I don't know if the boy Scouts are
allowed to use drizzle in the settlement.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You don't want you don't want Jackmi drizzle.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
But I seriously thought about it, and I'm like, that
is all about how you frame it. Because had they
gone for a twenty dollars donation or whatever, you get
pick your popcorn said like movie, you know, like the
microwave popcorn, actual jar of popcorn, like you would put
in a pan whatever, I'm like, Yeah, if you frame
it that way, it seems like, oh, I'm making a donation,
(22:40):
I'm getting something from it. Other But the way they
did it, it's like, oh, no, you're trying to sell
me a bag of popcorn for twenty five bucks. He'll know.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Yeah, outside of a SAMs that sells bulk popcorn, twenty
five dollars popcorn at Sam's would last you like ten years?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Something else that the boy Scouts need to learn from
the Girl Scouts is go to the go to the
proper places to sling your wares. Yes, look like the
Girl Scouts in Colorado and Washington State who sell thinmets
out in front of uh weed dispensaries.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Yeah, brilliantly.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
At this point, the girl Scouts are nido brown and
we're all pooky.

what was it you were asking Tray in the break
I just.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Wanted to know if he ended up buying the popcorn.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
No? Oh right, at that point I couldn't get over
that again. How you frame it? Because at that point
in my mind, I'm they're trying to sell me a
bag of popcorn for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Whereas had the boy Scouts simply said, we're taking donations
to fund all sorts of scouting activities and as a
thank you gift, we'll give you this bag of popcorn. Yeah,
and you might have done.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That, but you know you can't even like throw them
five bucks. They don't take cash. It's all credit.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Now yeah, that's what got me once with the Girl Scouts.
They were outside of a tomp thumb and I saw
them and they're strategically placed, and I'm like, oh, don't
make eye contact, don't make eye contact. And I did
and they're like, would you like some cookies? And I'm like, hmmm,
I don't have any cash on me. I'm like, oh no, no,
we take we have a Square Reader. Can do this now,
(25:00):
I'm like, you bitches.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, they have removed all excuses for you to give
them money. Yeah, because there's even like back in the day,
the Girl Scouts had like someone that I could give change,
Like I had like one of those uh cash belts,
and then some had the coin belt thing they could
give you change, and then they've evolved now to where
we don't have any cash. Well that's okay, that's okay, daddy,
(25:27):
cause here's the Square Reader. We have Venmo, we have
pay Pal cash out. Yeah yeah, and and if you
somehow try to get out of that, they'll just steal
your h They'll just steal your car.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
So I ended up buying like five boxes of cookies,
which I did not need. And I'm not a sweet sky,
so I just end up just paying these It's like
it's like extortion, Like I just ended up paying these
kids off, Like we'll find out where you live.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, there you go, it's five.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
They really have removed all the friction when it comes
to this, you know, fundraising sales activity for the Boy
Scouts and the Girl Scouts, because it used to be
when we were all kids. Like I remember for baseball
for our league, we had to go out and sell
chocolate bars, which to me is still the dumbest thing
in the world to sell in the middle of hot
(26:24):
ass summer Texas is here are kids, here's a bunch
of boxes of chocolate bars. Why don't you go door
to door when it's one hundred and five and see
how many you can sell to dumb old people?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Okay, and and people bought them. That's the dumber part.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well, that was also back in the time when people
answered their doors. Now, when someone rings the doorbell, everyone
dodges behind the couch and says, who's there. In Texas,
everyone grabs the gun first.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
No, Now the parents post on Facebook, Hey, yes, little
Susie selling chocolate yep.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
And that's part of the evolution of the fundraising sales
with these kids groups because we all had to do
it door to door, and then eventually that became unsafe,
so then parents started doing it for the kids when
they would take the list to work and do the
sign ups, and they would do the selling for the
kids at work and shaming people, shaming their employees, especially
(27:19):
if it was the boss, into buying cookies or popcorn
whatever that they were selling. And then it used to
be going to the storefront like you guys are saying, well,
I have any cash. Well, they removed that obstacle because
they've got the Square readers. Now they got they take chip,
they take PayPal. I guarantee you Girl Scouts are taking
Bitcoin as we speak.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I mean, the Girl Scouts don't sell cookies. They had
they distribute them.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
The cartel, the cartel that is the Girl Scouts.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
It's a network. Really, that's that's brilliant.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
And that's why the Boy Scouts are bankrupt because they're
trying to sell you for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
They just they're yeah, they're stuck in the past. Like
the most that they'll do is they'll get the Square readers.
But again, the Girl Scouts, they they they they take Nope,
they will get their money.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
They wear a parade just like Nino Brown, and they're
slinging it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
After you buy a box like see It, don't want
to be it.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I will say, though, it is really odd to have
a girl scout. Ask me, am I my brother's keeper.

of today, today is Thursday, August seventh, twenty twenty five.
Let's celebrate today with some birthdays, one of Clinton another
(29:45):
let's see Clint Eastwood's daughter one of them, Francesca or
Francesca not sure how she says it. Eastwood is thirty two.
So one of Clint Easwood's daughter, Francesca Eastwood, is thirty two.
She's also an actress. Good old Hollywood nepotism is reigning
supreme yet again. So you've got Eastwood with Francesca Eastwood
(30:06):
as an actress. She was Molly on Heroes Reborn. She
also did a western called Outlaws and Angels. In addition
to that, you've also got to believe it's Allison Eastwood.
She's been in a number of things. Older sister there
of Francesca, and then there is it Scott Eastwood. He's
(30:27):
got a son too, and he's been in a number
of things as well. So the Eastwood name going strong
in Hollywood. Other birthdays today, Angels outfielder Mike Trout is
thirty four. That kind of makes me feel a little
old because I still remember when he first popped into
the league and just immediately started destroying it, and how
(30:48):
envious I was to see someone with that level of talent.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
It's just freakish and sad that he stayed with the
Angels the whole time.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So sad, I mean not entirely sad, because I mean
they've paid him a lot of money in that time,
but it is sad because California has kept most of it.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Oh well, it's.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
But I am stunned. That was the guy that you
thought that would absolutely bolt for one of the major
market teams like the Yankees, the Red Sox, something like that.
But he didn't. He's stayed. He stayed in Anaheim.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And and it's it's sad because, I mean, he's one
of the greatest baseball players we've ever seen, and you
know he'll he'll never win a title, he.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Will never have a World Series, but he cry himself
to sleep in giant bags of money.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I will say this though, that even even when you
do have, like if you want to cosplay Scrooge McDuck,
which he could, he's got that amount of money. It's
great and it feels nice, but as a competitive individual,
it will always eat at him if he does not
win a title. Now, granted, he could wipe his tears
(32:08):
with bags of money, but it still will sting a
little bit, especially when you think about other people that
were a fraction of the talent that he is that
walk around with rings. Because you know that for some
of the guys that have been greats in their sports.
Let's use one of the Let's use a great example.
(32:29):
Dan Marino one of the best quarterbacks of all time
and never won a Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Trent Dilfer is
running around with one. There's no question who's the better player,
who's the better quarterback. But Trent gets to say I
got one, and you know, Dan Marino has to kind
of suck it, and he can cry himself to sleep on,
(32:51):
you know, piles of isotonor gloves, but at least he
has as.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Ventura and Romo can just take his slip on sketchers
and run away.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Is he still good to you guys? Like, do you
still think Romo's a fun watch when he's calling football games?
Or is he waned on you the way he has
a number of people.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
I think he's a genius, Like he calls the play
before it happens, Like that's really kind of cool, But
he doesn't have the charm for the personality of like
a Joe Buck or an Aikman.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
But interesting, I'm I'm kind of lukewarm on Romo. Like
at first I thought it was really cool, especially how
often he would be accurate and the thing that I
like about him doing that is it's so different than
any of the other players that any of the other
players turn commentators. Yeah, I don't know if Troy Aikman
(33:53):
could do that at the same level Romo could simply
because the game has changed since for when Aikman played
versus Tony mm hmm. But I guarantee you with Peyton Manning,
Eli Manning, if those guys wanted to, they could easily
telegraph all those places.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Have you Have you watched their simulcast that huh Yeah,
they've been doing it for a couple of years. They
do a whole Monday night football.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
No, no, no, I know that they do the show.
I just didn't know if they were doing similar to Tony,
like they're basically saying, Okay, they're probably gonna throw the
slantle left here.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
They do it all the time. And Aikman, I mean,
it's if statistically and and the NFL was totally different,
but statistically Aikman is such a mediocre quarterback.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Mm hm m hm.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Now again, and this is my knock with Jerry is
Jerry was great when there was no salary cap. He
created the salary cap and it has forever hamstrung him
because he's never figured out how to get around it.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It is pretty impressive to tie the anchor to your
own leg and then throw it in the ocean. But
that's exactly what Jerry John is done.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
But also Aikman's just I mean, you can watch it.
He's hammered most of the time.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
You know what, if I was him, I would be
because imagine having the level of ability he did in
his body. Yeah, and thinking had he just been born
ten years later. Can you imagine Troy Aikman running the
Rams offense of the early two thousands versus the Cowboys
(35:27):
offense of the nineties. Can you imagine Aikman running an
offense similar to what gets played today? Yeah, oh my god,
it would be I don't even I'm not even sure
if it would be fair. They may have to like
shoot him in the leg before the game, just to
try to make it even for everybody else.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
He's doing plenty of shots by himself, don't worry about.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
But that is one of those times where I really
do think about. Man, if you took this guy from
his era and put him in the current era with
all the advancements and everything, I mean, his physical ability.
I mean, Romo broke all his records, but Romo's physical
ability pales in comparison to Aikman's. If you had Aikman
running the same offense Romo did, they'd have five they'd
(36:15):
have five titles.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Okay, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I mean, well, we'll never know.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Ever, Eikman wasn't the most mobile of quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, no, he was not.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I think that's where the term lumbering came from.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
That was true because Romo a lot of the times
he was running for his life because at times his
offensive line was questionable at best.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Yeah. And then Aikman was just like there was a
great story.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
I think it was Richie Wit that did it where
he put the wrong content tax in and still won
a Super Bowl and couldn't see. So that's how that
was back in the day.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
What it probably was is that he put you know,
like you said, he put the wrong contacts in. He
probably put his normal contacts in as opposed to the
ones that have the radical in it. So we can
with the crossairs.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
That too, That also is very cool. We appreciate that.
Thank you, Trey, and thank you to you for sharing
the show. All right, So earlier today we talked actually
quite a lot about the Boy Scouts the Girl Scouts
and the items that they sell and how different they
are and they're different approaches. I'm now going to segue
(38:33):
that conversation into America's ten most hated foods. The way
I'm going to do that is, I bet you that
if the Girl Scouts applied their methods to any of
these food items that are hated most by Americans, I
still think they would outsell the Boy Scouts popcorn. All right,
So here we go. I have for you now the
ten most hated foods in America. You guys want to
(38:57):
try to guess some of these.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Liver in most huh what is it?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Trey liver?
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Oh, number two.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Liver is the second most hated food in America. Fifty
five percent of people in this survey said.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Yeah, Salisbury steak.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Chitlins.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
There you go trade. Chitland's ninth most hated food in America.
Some people speculate they'd be higher on the list if
more people knew what they actually were. For those that
don't know, Chitlin's are pig guts, pig intestines, intestines?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, I mean, hagis is a Scottish thing, so I
don't think that would make it.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Are gizzards in the same
category as livery? Uh?
Speaker 1 (39:54):
I think that would be different. But that did not
make this list, coming in at number ten of the
the most hated foods in America sushi. Thirty eight percent
of people in this survey said they hate sushi, while
keeping in mind twenty three percent of people in the
survey love it. So I will contend sushi's kind of
a polarizing thing to me. That's either a food you
either love it or you hate it me. I love sushi.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Oh my god. Oh.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Are Brussels sprouts on the list?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Actually no, And I'm surprised by that because I would
think they would be. But those have gotten kind of
cool in recent years. Chefs were able to actually make
Brussels sprouts taste good, which is, honestly, if you think
about it, a true sign of a chef is taking
something that someone hates and pouring enough bacon grease on
it that they like it.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
But they're also hybrids. Now it's not the same Brussels
sprouts like when we were kids.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I don't know about that, because every Brussels sprout that
my mother ever boiled smelled like ass. And that was
another secret of the chefs is just don't boil. Don't
boil the Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Number nine was Chitlin's number eight. Blue cheese. Thirty of
people in this survey said they hate blue cheese.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
I love it. I can't do it, yep, Tray, are.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
You a blue cheese guy?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
It depends that is like just on it on its
own blue cheese. Probably not. It's usually a little like
I'll take a gargonzola over a blue cheese a little milder. Yeah,
but like salad dressing if it's not overpowering. Yes on
certain items, Buffalo wings. I'll take a ranch over blue
(41:38):
cheese every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Hey, there you go. It's a good man right there.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Tara, my wife, She'll will buy blue cheese at the store,
like the little package of it, and she'll just eat
it straight. She loves the pungent stuff like she'll like
she loves pickles. She loves blue cheese. If it may
if there's a food item that turns her face that
guy from the Bitter Beer Face commercials from back in
the day, she loves it.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yeah. Number seven oysters Forty two percent of people in
America said yeah to oysters. That's another thing that I like.
I like oysters. Caviar m Forty three percent of people
said they hate caviard. I'm surprised that many people in
the survey have had caviard.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Number five squid I do like some tentacles. I like squid.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Same, And that's one of the things I miss from
the Loon, the legendary bar in Dallas where Trey and
I did some serious damage and Raj you did too.
They had the calamari that I like. It's not just
the little tubes the rings. It is the rings.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, they had the rings, and they would
have the whole little, you know, little thing.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Yeah, the legs, a little body.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
And that was one of the reasons I liked ordering
the kalamari at the Loon, was because my wife liked
the little ringlets, you know, the little tube portions. She
didn't like the legs and stuff. I did, so all
those are mine.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
Oh that's good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Number five tofu forty six percent of people said that, yeah,
tofood grows. Uh. Tofu's fine because it's really just it's
just a sponge at the end of the day. So
you throw it in whatever already tastes good. It's gonna
taste like that. It's just there.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Number three sardines fifty two percent of people hate or
dislike sardines. Actually not bad on a cracker. A little
bit of mustard, oh god.
Speaker 8 (43:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Number two liver trade you guess that. And number one
fifty six percent of people in this survey said they
absolutely hate or dislike and jovies.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
I don't think I've ever had them.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
I'm fine with them. I mean they're usually ground up
in a proper Caesar addressing.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Oh then I have yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
I mean I've had them on pizza and they're e it,
they taste fine.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Yeah, yeah, I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
It's also the packaging, you know, because I mean, you know,
an chovi says food little salty, little fishy. Not everyone
wants that on something. But if you get a really
attractive woman and you put her on a salad, you'll
eat that. And if we're being honest, it's a similar flavor.
(44:30):
So think about that the next time you're with someone
that says they really really really love anchovies on their pizza.

(44:51):
right back here inside the Treehouse
It is time for me to get more decongestent. Yeah,
all right, that'll get me through the next few minutes.
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the tree house. I'm Daniel Maalley, along
(00:37):
with a clear chested Trey Trenholm and a face clogged
Raj Sharma. It is Thursday, August seventh, twenty twenty five.
Thank you everyone for being in attendance today, not just us,
but for you listening. Trey. Uh recommendation to get rid
(00:58):
of the chest stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Uh. If it's in your chest, you need to go
see a doctor.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, all right, what else do you got I'm gonna
go with. I'm gonna go with. The other option is doctor.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, you're coughing stuff up.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
A little bit this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
If if you feel like you've got a bunch of
fluid in there but it's not coming up, then I
would get an expectorant like musinex h D. M Okay.
If you want something to dry you up, then you
need to get like the musin x D. When you
have to get from behind the pharmacy counter and you
have to show them your ID.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, that's good stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, but uh, if it's if it's green, then you've
got an active infection going on.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Gotcha. It's interesting because back in my smoking days, it
was hard to tell whether or not you had an
infection because you cough stuff and it was interesting colors anyway,
usually more of the brown tint. Speaking of which, Raj,
is there something.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
There's incense going from my morning prayers?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, got one. That's why I didn't know if you
had some sort of different therapy you were doing with
your face, stuff like like hot vics.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
What IFEL was like, no, it could just be ghosts.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I And I'm also a big advocate of the sinus.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Rents, the netty pot thing.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's it's Doctor Neil's sinus rints, but it's a squeeze bottle,
not the netty pot. But I can't do the netty pot.
It's such an awkward deal, but same principle. It's just
a little more force, but it really cleans out your sinuses.
And I I have been doing it for I don't know,
fourteen fifteen years now, and it's a.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Little more forced, like power washing my sinuses. Yes, Oh,
I've recently come out of the power washing closet. I'm
a big, big fan of that. So if there's a
way to power wash my insides, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I mean it's not as therapeutic because I can't see
the muck and the grime disappearing, but at least i'd
be able to feel it.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh no, no, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You'll see it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh yeah, when you when you when you power wash
your sinuses, the stuff that comes out, especially when you're sick. Oh,
it's a doozy.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Oh where does it come out? I was just thinking
it just like you. I was still get just kind
of drained.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, you squeeze the bottle so it goes up one
side one nostril and down the other. But you're renting
out your sinuses where all this crap is and uh boy,
oh you can get Oh. When I've had some science infections,
I have had stuff come out. I mean you're like,
how does that much stuff fit in there? I mean
it it's and it's usually like that good neon green yeah, inhale,
(04:04):
but it's cleaning those sinuses out, so they it helps
a lot.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Same with like a colon rinse. It'll be.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Interesting you mention that because I've heard of two separate
stories that are huge red flags about certain rinses. One
was a quote unquote influencer who did like five coffee
inemas a day and decided to go with that as
opposed to chemo for the cancer she was diagnosed with. Obviously,
(04:39):
that made news because she died. Uh So on top
of that, there was a Nettie Pot story. I'm pretty
sure it was a Netty Pot thing. I don't remember
with the details of it, but it made the news
and some lady was doing Netty Pot stuff and it
did something bad to her. I don't know if if
she had like a flesh eating bacteria thing that she
(04:59):
was trying, did Nettie Pot flesh out of her or something.
But it's just weird that those two things. Well, actually
it's not weird. We're humans. We can ruin anything we
get our hands on. I can see if I can
find that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I mean, yeah, if you're using a Nettie Pot to
try to teach to treat flesh hitting eating bacteria, yeah,
that's yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
And if you're if you're doing coffee for cancer, that
sounds like a fundraiser, but that's not.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, let's not energize the cancer.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, and that's more like walking up to a three
alarm fire and going.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I got an idea, I'm a fireman, bring me a fan.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I actually had it pretty close to accurate. This is
twenty eighteen when the story happened, but I know I
just saw something about it recently. December twenty eighteen, a
Seattle woman died after becoming infected with a brain eating
a meal. The woman told her doctor she had used
tap water and a nettie pot instead of saline or
(06:06):
something else, so she wasn't trying to wash out the
brain eating amba with the nettie pot. She got the
brain eating amiba from the netti pot tap water, but she.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Didn't use the saline solution, so she'd just put tap
water in there.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, it says she used yeah, instead of saline or still,
instead of saline or sterile water, she used tap water
in the netty pot.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
We'll do it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
The whole purpose of the nettypot is you put the
little saline solution in there, then you put the water in.
But nice you have warm water.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
And uh sterilize everything.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, you know, I'm really glad that this. Okay, I'm
not glad this woman died, but it teaches me a
valuable lesson because if there's anyone on this planet that,
instead of spending money on buying a nettie pot, that
would just shove a garden hose up my nose, it's me. Yeah,
because it's not about necessarily cutting corners. But I feel
(07:00):
like if there's a you know, a cheaper version, I
don't like being taken advantage of. If there's a cheap
version I can do at home that gets the same result,
I'll do that now, keeping in mind, if things are
bad enough, I will go to the doctor. I'm not,
you know, an idiot man about it, but you know,
usually when the netty pot stuff I see it, I don't.
(07:21):
I don't think I even knew that you were supposed
to use a saline thing. Usually when I've seen people
do it, they're using tap water.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
But yeah, she cut corners too and got a flesh
eating amba or a brain eating Ambat packets they come
with little packets of saline solution, and yes, tell wman
to open.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Put it in there. Put you can put tap water
in there and you're fine.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
See there's a neurosurgeon who operated on the sixty nine
year old woman. She arrived in the hospital's er suffering seizures.
Doctors thought she had a tumor previously diagnosed with breast cancer.
Sore on her nose would not go away. When they operated,
he discovered its tumor the size of a dime. He
removed that he thought it looked suspicious for ambit infection.
(08:09):
He said he was pretty shockedcause he had never seen
that before. Her condition quickly deteriorated. After about two weeks,
he performed another surgery removed the mass the size of
a baseball, and pictures disease. Doctors contacted CDC and they
sent medicine for it, but the woman could not be saved.
So I get it doesn't say whether or not she
(08:31):
knew she had the infection from the amibia. I'm guessing
she didn't, But the doctors still say they think her
death was ultimately tied to her use of the nettypot.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Improper use of the nettie pot.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well, yeah, yeah, all right, so I'll take your warnings.
I appreciate it. If me garden hosing and power washing
my lungs doesn't work over the next two days, then
I will go to the doctor. I'm not going to
avoid it entirely.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Okay, And if you get a brain eating amba from
a garden hose in the US Virgin Islands, then it.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Can't be any worse than the brain activity I currently have.
If you are.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Listening to the Treehouse, visit us online at Treehouse on

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Hell, it might it might have the opposite effect. I
might actually restore some brain function in my head. Time
out to talk to Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration.
To get your free roof inspection, call the Man eight
three three cook DFW the website cookdfw dot com.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Daniel.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
How long does it typically take for a small problem
on a roof to turn into a big problem?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Man?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It all depends on the type.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Of roof you have, depends on the age of the roof,
depends on you know where roof the problem is at,
and so all those variables are extremely challenging to try
to put in a time slot. But I will tell
you that's why it's so important to get your roof
checked out at least once a year so those things
are caught because it might not show its head at first,
(10:08):
and then you know, a year goes by and then
all of a sudden you striving a problem. So definitely important.
You know, like we've talked about before, flashings, you know,
penetrations on shingles, you know, scraping from trees, rodents, wear
and tear issues when that you can't see shingles blown
off in parts of your roof because you have a
two story house that you can't see from the ground.
(10:31):
These are all reasons why you have to get us
to come out. It's a free visual inspection. We'll take
some pictures, we'll show you what you have wrong, believe
it or not. I would say almost eighty five percent
of the roofs that we jump up on do not
need a roof replacement, and people are shocked when we
come back down. And so it's just education, it's just
protecting your home.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That's what we're here to do.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And giving an honest assessment to people. So give danielan
is very excellent team a call today. They will be
honest with you about what they find. Eight three to
three cook DFWCOKDFW use that today or also hit that

(11:42):
their website cookdfw dot com. It's an interesting world we
live in, gentlemen. Case in point. Earlier this year, we
learned that Washington State successfully eradicated their murder hornet threat
in the Pacific northwest right, but now we have a
new nightmare flying around. Radioactive wasps and nests have been
(12:06):
found at a Cold War era nuclear site in South Carolina.
Investigators found hot nests inside a nuclear weapons facility in
South Carolina, with scientists warning it could be evidence of
either a leek or contamination that was not previously detected.
(12:26):
The US Department of Energy said that nests are not
believed to pose their risk to workers or the surrounding community,
which tells us that we should all be terrified.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I would burn I would burn it to the ground,
all of it. There would be no South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I kind of think you have to, don't you.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, No, the whole, the whole, the whole state gone by.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
North Carolina had a good run. You're one of the ogs,
but we got we gotta do what's right for the
rest of the forty.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Nine radioactive wasps. What are we doing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
With babies because these are nests? Yeah? No, no, I
mean I mentioned this earlier, but seriously, as humans, what
can't we ruin?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
I'm allergic to bees. I can't imagine what a radioactive
wasp would do to me.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
At best, turn you into the toxic avenger. That is
best case scenario.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
That would be my punishment. I'd be wasp man.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Baby. Check out my stinger.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
It's radioactive.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You're just a glowing creep. There's no actual power that
comes with it. No, okay, according to doctor According to
doctor Timothy Mousseau, a biologist at the University of South Carolina,
So this is interesting. So the problem is in North Carolina,
but they're having the bro from South Carolina do the research.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I think it's South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, I think what's South Carolina?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It's South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh it was Why did I oh, it was South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
My bad.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I don't know why I was thinking it was North Yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Was trying to knock off North Carolina for no reason.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I guess, so go found no idea why guilt by association? Anyways,
my apologies. Biologists at the University of South Carolina is dead.
This is an indicator that there are contaminants spread across
this area that had not been completely encased and protected.
Oh he's good. He's doctor Timothy Smart, that one, he says.
(14:34):
A total of four contaminated nests have now been found
at the facility near Aiken, around twenty miles east of Augusta, Georgia.
That's according to federal officials. A first nest was discovered
by workers at the Savannah River site, which produced material
for nuclear weapons during the Cold War.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
All right, so Georgia has got to go too, Okay, good,
good enough, just kind.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Of carve out a whole section of the se see
in the a CC. Sorry, guys, Yeah, Georgia's gone. Uh
and the game Cocks are gone. Uh so isn't isn't
it the Charlotte Hornets. Isn't that the team?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But that's North Carolina?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That's yeah, that's gotta go too. It's it's too close.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So this is one of those things, though, I feel
like we're gonna look back and there. Had they just
taken a flamethrower to them and just eradicated them, we'd
all been okay. But something tells me they're not gonna
do it, and they're gonna study him, and this is
where everything goes wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You thought COVID was bad.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
I don't think you can get I don't think you
can get a jab for radioactive wasp.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh they'll give you a jab. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And Raj you said that if radioactive wasps, you know,
radioactive wasps, Jesus Christ, radioactive wasps being found in South
Carolina at a former nuclear site would mean we'd have
to get rid of all the surrounding areas, all the
things in the surrounding areas, like the South Carolina game cocks,
whereas I contend, you may not have to get rid
(16:16):
of them, because, like Trey said, we'll probably just study
these things like a bunch of idiots, which means we'll
be okay with a bunch of radioactive game cocks running around.
Well no, no, no, no, no, hang on. Now, let's not
destroy these yet. This is pretty interesting. You got radioactive
cocks hopping around. Let's take a look at these a
little bit and see what happens.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And here's the thing for South Carolina fans, they would
gladly take radioactive game cocks if it would make them
ten and two.

(17:34):
of every day that you're angry about something, but I'd
say at least once a day something gets under your skin.
So what are the boys?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, am I just once a day?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Well, I'm trying to soft sell a little bit because
you're not You're not like, you're not the full on
stereotypical angry white man or just angry middle aged demand.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Because angry well not like I was, not like not
like I was when I drank.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
So yeah, for those that for those that don't know,
this is laid back.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Tray, yeah's patient trade.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So I'll let this be a surprise Toarase as you
announce it to him. What has gotten under your skin?
Most recently?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
So, I was walking out of Sam's the other day. Boy,
scouts have a table set up. Okay, popcorn. It's like
they're selling popcorn. Okay, I always try to you know,
I'm more than happy to buy something here for the cause.
I look around. They've got ye and just a bag
(18:47):
of white shutar popcorn. Nothing big, like a normal like
you would buy in the store. Right, I'm like, okay,
I'll take one of those twenty five dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
What excuse me?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
How big is this bag?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Like a normal bag of like anything like you would
buy at the grocery store. Okay, I mean, you know,
the big bag, but not not like the jumbo bag
of popcorn or anything like tall. Yeah, I mean, you know,
like the I don't even know how big they are,
but just the big bag of chips you would buy
at the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, Let's compare it to movie popcorn. If you go
to the movie theater for popcorn, we're talking small medium.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm a guess, probably a medium.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay, so you thought movie popcorn was overpriced, cowboy not
cowboys boy scouts are hopping them for twenty five bucks?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Are they making the popcorn right then and there in
front of you. Are they across the street in a
field harvesting the corn and then by hand to get
a badge, of course, making the popcorn themselves. Wow, So
(20:01):
they're just middlemanning this popcorn operation. They're buying it from someplace,
and then they're doing a drastic markup and reeking in,
raking in the profits.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Well then and then they're like, oh, it's a donation.
I'm like no, Like, if you're.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Not fulling me, Like I'm not falling for this like
I did with NPR and that damn coffee mug.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I'm like, you're not your your sugar slinging scout sisters.
You know they can get away with that, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, because they're actually selling drugs. Sugar is a drug.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
They throw out thin minutes. You just give them your card, yep.
You just hope they don't take all your money. But
I'm like, no, y'all, don't go out at the opposite way,
say hey, for a minimum donation, pick your bag of popcorn. Okay,
that sounds like I'm getting something for my donations.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Fra.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, trying to jack me for uh twenty five dollars
for a bag of popcorn.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Well, that is a fun badge that not all boy
Scouts get. It's the Jackmie badge.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Ooh, a lot of them get that.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Maybe that's why the bags of popcorn are twenty five dollars.
They're having to pay off all sorts of lawsuits. You're
not just buying a bag of popcorn. You're also purchasing
therapy for so many victims.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
It's the Jackney corn.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
We also have to pay a little bit into the
housing for Scout Master Kevin, and by housing I mean jail.
You're right, note Tramman, twenty five dollars for a bag
of popcorn is an absolute ripoff, and they should take
a page out of their sugar slinging sisters. Like you said,
(21:51):
the girl Scout. At least the popcorn that they're selling
combine the two worlds, like, get that popcorn that has
like the chocolate and the nuts and clusters and things
like that.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
O the drizzle.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, well, I don't know if the boy Scouts are
allowed to use drizzle in the settlement.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You don't want you don't want Jackmi drizzle.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
But I seriously thought about it, and I'm like, that
is all about how you frame it. Because had they
gone for a twenty dollars donation or whatever, you get
pick your popcorn said like movie, you know, like the
microwave popcorn, actual jar of popcorn, like you would put
in a pan whatever, I'm like, Yeah, if you frame
it that way, it seems like, oh, I'm making a donation,
(22:40):
I'm getting something from it. Other But the way they
did it, it's like, oh, no, you're trying to sell
me a bag of popcorn for twenty five bucks. He'll know.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Yeah, outside of a SAMs that sells bulk popcorn, twenty
five dollars popcorn at Sam's would last you like ten years?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Something else that the boy Scouts need to learn from
the Girl Scouts is go to the go to the
proper places to sling your wares. Yes, look like the
Girl Scouts in Colorado and Washington State who sell thinmets
out in front of uh weed dispensaries.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Yeah, brilliantly.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
At this point, the girl Scouts are nido brown and
we're all pooky.

That's at Treehouse on Air. Give us a follow today, Raj,
what was it you were asking Tray in the break
I just.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Wanted to know if he ended up buying the popcorn.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
No? Oh right, at that point I couldn't get over
that again. How you frame it? Because at that point
in my mind, I'm they're trying to sell me a
bag of popcorn for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Whereas had the boy Scouts simply said, we're taking donations
to fund all sorts of scouting activities and as a
thank you gift, we'll give you this bag of popcorn. Yeah,
and you might have done.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That, but you know you can't even like throw them
five bucks. They don't take cash. It's all credit.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Now yeah, that's what got me once with the Girl Scouts.
They were outside of a tomp thumb and I saw
them and they're strategically placed, and I'm like, oh, don't
make eye contact, don't make eye contact. And I did
and they're like, would you like some cookies? And I'm like, hmmm,
I don't have any cash on me. I'm like, oh no, no,
we take we have a Square Reader. Can do this now,
(25:00):
I'm like, you bitches.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, they have removed all excuses for you to give
them money. Yeah, because there's even like back in the day,
the Girl Scouts had like someone that I could give change,
Like I had like one of those uh cash belts,
and then some had the coin belt thing they could
give you change, and then they've evolved now to where
we don't have any cash. Well that's okay, that's okay, daddy,
(25:27):
cause here's the Square Reader. We have Venmo, we have
pay Pal cash out. Yeah yeah, and and if you
somehow try to get out of that, they'll just steal
your h They'll just steal your car.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
So I ended up buying like five boxes of cookies,
which I did not need. And I'm not a sweet sky,
so I just end up just paying these It's like
it's like extortion, Like I just ended up paying these
kids off, Like we'll find out where you live.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, there you go, it's five.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
They really have removed all the friction when it comes
to this, you know, fundraising sales activity for the Boy
Scouts and the Girl Scouts, because it used to be
when we were all kids. Like I remember for baseball
for our league, we had to go out and sell
chocolate bars, which to me is still the dumbest thing
in the world to sell in the middle of hot
(26:24):
ass summer Texas is here are kids, here's a bunch
of boxes of chocolate bars. Why don't you go door
to door when it's one hundred and five and see
how many you can sell to dumb old people?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Okay, and and people bought them. That's the dumber part.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well, that was also back in the time when people
answered their doors. Now, when someone rings the doorbell, everyone
dodges behind the couch and says, who's there. In Texas,
everyone grabs the gun first.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
No, Now the parents post on Facebook, Hey, yes, little
Susie selling chocolate yep.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
And that's part of the evolution of the fundraising sales
with these kids groups because we all had to do
it door to door, and then eventually that became unsafe,
so then parents started doing it for the kids when
they would take the list to work and do the
sign ups, and they would do the selling for the
kids at work and shaming people, shaming their employees, especially
(27:19):
if it was the boss, into buying cookies or popcorn
whatever that they were selling. And then it used to
be going to the storefront like you guys are saying, well,
I have any cash. Well, they removed that obstacle because
they've got the Square readers. Now they got they take chip,
they take PayPal. I guarantee you Girl Scouts are taking
Bitcoin as we speak.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I mean, the Girl Scouts don't sell cookies. They had
they distribute them.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
The cartel, the cartel that is the Girl Scouts.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
It's a network. Really, that's that's brilliant.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
And that's why the Boy Scouts are bankrupt because they're
trying to sell you for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
They just they're yeah, they're stuck in the past. Like
the most that they'll do is they'll get the Square readers.
But again, the Girl Scouts, they they they they take Nope,
they will get their money.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
They wear a parade just like Nino Brown, and they're
slinging it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
After you buy a box like see It, don't want
to be it.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I will say, though, it is really odd to have
a girl scout. Ask me, am I my brother's keeper.

Let's celebrate today with some birthdays, one of Clinton another
(29:45):
let's see Clint Eastwood's daughter one of them, Francesca or
Francesca not sure how she says it. Eastwood is thirty two.
So one of Clint Easwood's daughter, Francesca Eastwood, is thirty two.
She's also an actress. Good old Hollywood nepotism is reigning
supreme yet again. So you've got Eastwood with Francesca Eastwood
(30:06):
as an actress. She was Molly on Heroes Reborn. She
also did a western called Outlaws and Angels. In addition
to that, you've also got to believe it's Allison Eastwood.
She's been in a number of things. Older sister there
of Francesca, and then there is it Scott Eastwood. He's
(30:27):
got a son too, and he's been in a number
of things as well. So the Eastwood name going strong
in Hollywood. Other birthdays today, Angels outfielder Mike Trout is
thirty four. That kind of makes me feel a little
old because I still remember when he first popped into
the league and just immediately started destroying it, and how
(30:48):
envious I was to see someone with that level of talent.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
It's just freakish and sad that he stayed with the
Angels the whole time.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So sad, I mean not entirely sad, because I mean
they've paid him a lot of money in that time,
but it is sad because California has kept most of it.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Oh well, it's.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
But I am stunned. That was the guy that you
thought that would absolutely bolt for one of the major
market teams like the Yankees, the Red Sox, something like that.
But he didn't. He's stayed. He stayed in Anaheim.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And and it's it's sad because, I mean, he's one
of the greatest baseball players we've ever seen, and you
know he'll he'll never win a title, he.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Will never have a World Series, but he cry himself
to sleep in giant bags of money.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I will say this though, that even even when you
do have, like if you want to cosplay Scrooge McDuck,
which he could, he's got that amount of money. It's
great and it feels nice, but as a competitive individual,
it will always eat at him if he does not
win a title. Now, granted, he could wipe his tears
(32:08):
with bags of money, but it still will sting a
little bit, especially when you think about other people that
were a fraction of the talent that he is that
walk around with rings. Because you know that for some
of the guys that have been greats in their sports.
Let's use one of the Let's use a great example.
(32:29):
Dan Marino one of the best quarterbacks of all time
and never won a Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Trent Dilfer is
running around with one. There's no question who's the better player,
who's the better quarterback. But Trent gets to say I
got one, and you know, Dan Marino has to kind
of suck it, and he can cry himself to sleep on,
(32:51):
you know, piles of isotonor gloves, but at least he
has as.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Ventura and Romo can just take his slip on sketchers
and run away.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Is he still good to you guys? Like, do you
still think Romo's a fun watch when he's calling football games?
Or is he waned on you the way he has
a number of people.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
I think he's a genius, Like he calls the play
before it happens, Like that's really kind of cool, But
he doesn't have the charm for the personality of like
a Joe Buck or an Aikman.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
But interesting, I'm I'm kind of lukewarm on Romo. Like
at first I thought it was really cool, especially how
often he would be accurate and the thing that I
like about him doing that is it's so different than
any of the other players that any of the other
players turn commentators. Yeah, I don't know if Troy Aikman
(33:53):
could do that at the same level Romo could simply
because the game has changed since for when Aikman played
versus Tony mm hmm. But I guarantee you with Peyton Manning,
Eli Manning, if those guys wanted to, they could easily
telegraph all those places.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Have you Have you watched their simulcast that huh Yeah,
they've been doing it for a couple of years. They
do a whole Monday night football.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
No, no, no, I know that they do the show.
I just didn't know if they were doing similar to Tony,
like they're basically saying, Okay, they're probably gonna throw the
slantle left here.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
They do it all the time. And Aikman, I mean,
it's if statistically and and the NFL was totally different,
but statistically Aikman is such a mediocre quarterback.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Mm hm m hm.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Now again, and this is my knock with Jerry is
Jerry was great when there was no salary cap. He
created the salary cap and it has forever hamstrung him
because he's never figured out how to get around it.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It is pretty impressive to tie the anchor to your
own leg and then throw it in the ocean. But
that's exactly what Jerry John is done.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
But also Aikman's just I mean, you can watch it.
He's hammered most of the time.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
You know what, if I was him, I would be
because imagine having the level of ability he did in
his body. Yeah, and thinking had he just been born
ten years later. Can you imagine Troy Aikman running the
Rams offense of the early two thousands versus the Cowboys
(35:27):
offense of the nineties. Can you imagine Aikman running an
offense similar to what gets played today? Yeah, oh my god,
it would be I don't even I'm not even sure
if it would be fair. They may have to like
shoot him in the leg before the game, just to
try to make it even for everybody else.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
He's doing plenty of shots by himself, don't worry about.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
But that is one of those times where I really
do think about. Man, if you took this guy from
his era and put him in the current era with
all the advancements and everything, I mean, his physical ability.
I mean, Romo broke all his records, but Romo's physical
ability pales in comparison to Aikman's. If you had Aikman
running the same offense Romo did, they'd have five they'd
(36:15):
have five titles.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Okay, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I mean, well, we'll never know.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Ever, Eikman wasn't the most mobile of quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, no, he was not.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I think that's where the term lumbering came from.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
That was true because Romo a lot of the times
he was running for his life because at times his
offensive line was questionable at best.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Yeah. And then Aikman was just like there was a
great story.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
I think it was Richie Wit that did it where
he put the wrong content tax in and still won
a Super Bowl and couldn't see. So that's how that
was back in the day.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
What it probably was is that he put you know,
like you said, he put the wrong contacts in. He
probably put his normal contacts in as opposed to the
ones that have the radical in it. So we can
with the crossairs.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
That too, That also is very cool. We appreciate that.
Thank you, Trey, and thank you to you for sharing
the show. All right, So earlier today we talked actually
quite a lot about the Boy Scouts the Girl Scouts
and the items that they sell and how different they
are and they're different approaches. I'm now going to segue
(38:33):
that conversation into America's ten most hated foods. The way
I'm going to do that is, I bet you that
if the Girl Scouts applied their methods to any of
these food items that are hated most by Americans, I
still think they would outsell the Boy Scouts popcorn. All right,
So here we go. I have for you now the
ten most hated foods in America. You guys want to
(38:57):
try to guess some of these.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Liver in most huh what is it?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Trey liver?
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Oh, number two.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Liver is the second most hated food in America. Fifty
five percent of people in this survey said.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Yeah, Salisbury steak.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Chitlins.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
There you go trade. Chitland's ninth most hated food in America.
Some people speculate they'd be higher on the list if
more people knew what they actually were. For those that
don't know, Chitlin's are pig guts, pig intestines, intestines?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, I mean, hagis is a Scottish thing, so I
don't think that would make it.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Are gizzards in the same
category as livery? Uh?
Speaker 1 (39:54):
I think that would be different. But that did not
make this list, coming in at number ten of the
the most hated foods in America sushi. Thirty eight percent
of people in this survey said they hate sushi, while
keeping in mind twenty three percent of people in the
survey love it. So I will contend sushi's kind of
a polarizing thing to me. That's either a food you
either love it or you hate it me. I love sushi.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Oh my god. Oh.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Are Brussels sprouts on the list?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Actually no, And I'm surprised by that because I would
think they would be. But those have gotten kind of
cool in recent years. Chefs were able to actually make
Brussels sprouts taste good, which is, honestly, if you think
about it, a true sign of a chef is taking
something that someone hates and pouring enough bacon grease on
it that they like it.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
But they're also hybrids. Now it's not the same Brussels
sprouts like when we were kids.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I don't know about that, because every Brussels sprout that
my mother ever boiled smelled like ass. And that was
another secret of the chefs is just don't boil. Don't
boil the Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Number nine was Chitlin's number eight. Blue cheese. Thirty of
people in this survey said they hate blue cheese.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
I love it. I can't do it, yep, Tray, are.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
You a blue cheese guy?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
It depends that is like just on it on its
own blue cheese. Probably not. It's usually a little like
I'll take a gargonzola over a blue cheese a little milder. Yeah,
but like salad dressing if it's not overpowering. Yes on
certain items, Buffalo wings. I'll take a ranch over blue
(41:38):
cheese every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Hey, there you go. It's a good man right there.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Tara, my wife, She'll will buy blue cheese at the store,
like the little package of it, and she'll just eat
it straight. She loves the pungent stuff like she'll like
she loves pickles. She loves blue cheese. If it may
if there's a food item that turns her face that
guy from the Bitter Beer Face commercials from back in
the day, she loves it.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yeah. Number seven oysters Forty two percent of people in
America said yeah to oysters. That's another thing that I like.
I like oysters. Caviar m Forty three percent of people
said they hate caviard. I'm surprised that many people in
the survey have had caviard.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Number five squid I do like some tentacles. I like squid.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Same, And that's one of the things I miss from
the Loon, the legendary bar in Dallas where Trey and
I did some serious damage and Raj you did too.
They had the calamari that I like. It's not just
the little tubes the rings. It is the rings.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, they had the rings, and they would
have the whole little, you know, little thing.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Yeah, the legs, a little body.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
And that was one of the reasons I liked ordering
the kalamari at the Loon, was because my wife liked
the little ringlets, you know, the little tube portions. She
didn't like the legs and stuff. I did, so all
those are mine.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
Oh that's good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Number five tofu forty six percent of people said that, yeah,
tofood grows. Uh. Tofu's fine because it's really just it's
just a sponge at the end of the day. So
you throw it in whatever already tastes good. It's gonna
taste like that. It's just there.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Number three sardines fifty two percent of people hate or
dislike sardines. Actually not bad on a cracker. A little
bit of mustard, oh god.
Speaker 8 (43:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Number two liver trade you guess that. And number one
fifty six percent of people in this survey said they
absolutely hate or dislike and jovies.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
I don't think I've ever had them.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
I'm fine with them. I mean they're usually ground up
in a proper Caesar addressing.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Oh then I have yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
I mean I've had them on pizza and they're e it,
they taste fine.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Yeah, yeah, I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
It's also the packaging, you know, because I mean, you know,
an chovi says food little salty, little fishy. Not everyone
wants that on something. But if you get a really
attractive woman and you put her on a salad, you'll
eat that. And if we're being honest, it's a similar flavor.
(44:30):
So think about that the next time you're with someone
that says they really really really love anchovies on their pizza.
