We start off talking about who would spend a night in a cave with 111,000 spiders for one billion dollars, which leads us to find that rats bother Trey deeply. Then we discuss whether Trey's mom will ever meet his new girlfriend, and Gov. Abbott is running for a 4th term and stomping on rainbows.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at
YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trade Trendholme and Raj Sharma, fresh off of shows in Houston.
Glad to have you back inside the Treehouse. Mister Sharma,
Thank you sir. Also, while we're on the topic, let's
go ahead and point out that you're going to stay
(00:50):
in Houston and any Treehouse listeners in the Houston area
should be making plans for Wednesday night if they don't
already have them with you right, Yes, I believe we're
close to sold out. I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I know people were trying to buy tickets last night
that were in line, like waiting for the meet and
greet with the buddy Adam Ray.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
They could not purchase tickets, so to where the Houston
improv there you go, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
So yeah, they couldn't buy tickets. So I don't know
if that was preferred seating that sold out, or if
the show in general is sold out.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Worst case scenario, just hover around the door and try
to sneak in somewhere and catch. Raj. Yeah, I'll fitch
in somewhere that sounds triable. You can try out of
intriloquous act with a listener. Just sit here and move
your mouth when I stick my hand up your button.
There you go. All right, Let's begin today with something
(01:50):
that you missed, Raj on the tree House Plus episode
on Patreon. On our tree House Plus episode on Patreon,
Trey and I discussed a dark room hidden in Greece
for god knows how many years, and it is covered
floor to ceiling with spiders. And so I posed this
(02:15):
question on social media. Are you ready? Here we go?
You get one billion dollars if you can spend the
night in here alone. Could you do it? The room
I'm talking about is the one that researchers discovered what
appears to be the world's largest spider web.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
This is in a pitch black cave in Greece. Scientists
found a stinking sponge spider web one hundred and eleven
thousand species of spiders, including two that were thought to
be hostile towards one another. They even show cutting away
the web that it reveals several layers underneath. So my
(03:02):
question holds Raj could you spend the night in this
cave for one billion dollars with one hundred eleven thousand spiders,
just you and just them.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, spiders don't bug me, Like, I'm not scared of
spiders at all.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, here's the thing. Whether you're phobic or not about spiders.
Spending the night in a gas filled cave with one
hundred eleven thousand of them, I think you'll become phobic.
They're at the very least, they're going to be annoying.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
So I I only had roommates in college one time,
and I moved in to their place and I woke
up the first day, woke up and this one should
have been a sign. I woke up and there was
a spider in my mouth, A dead spider in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Okay, So now imagine one hundred eleven thousand of them
trying to get in there all at the same time.
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now, Okay, hold on, because if they like are they poisonous?
Because if some of the some of them bite you,
like you can have like a brown recluse or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Like yeah, yeah, I don't know. The the video that
that we played that shows the cave and one hundred
eleven thousand spiders filling it. We don't know if they're
venomous or not. They're just in there. Yeah, gotcha, Yeah,
I think I could do it, Trey, What about you?
For one billion dollars, kid, could you spend the night
(04:34):
in this spider cave in Greece for.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
A billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I I For a billion dollars, I could do just
about anything.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I don't think I clearly Trey's open for business. I'll
let just you know what, Trey's got a good point.
He may let one hundred eleven thousand of just about
anything inside of him for a billion dollars. He's our
Bonnie Blue.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You get a billion dollars, A can afford a lot
of therapy, and B you can disappear.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You know what? That makes sense? I guess for a
bill for that amount of money, Trey would Trey would
pull a Scrooge McDuck into a pile of dicks, so
the spiders would be easy. What's say? I can't unsee
that now? You'll never watch that show the same way again.
(05:34):
I don't think I could. I mean, I would love
to say I tried. Look, I'll be honest, I would try,
Like you said, Trey, I would try just about anything
if you offer me a billion dollars. I don't know
if I could spend the night in that spider cave.
But you have a fear of spiders, right, I mean
it's not like a phobia thing. But I don't want
(05:56):
them crawling on me. Okay, I don't want one crawling
on me, let alone one hundred eleven thousand of them.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah. Now the one caveat of that is if they
are highly poisonous like brown recluse or then no, I
don't not for certain death.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Your next of ken will get a billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
So no, yeah, yeah I want the billion.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But yeah, I'm with Tray on that one.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Like if they're yeah, like black widows or you know,
like we're saying, like like things that can literally kill
you that right there?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Uh no, Yeah, if this cave was in Australia, no,
because I'm just gonna assume that's automatic death.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah. God, can you imagine what a what a death
cave in Australia would look like because Australia is out
in the open about everything that wanted to kill you.
Imagine something finding imagine finding something hidden. How bad that
must be.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Oh yeah, I mean they have jellyfish that are the
size of your like pinky nail that can kill you
in Australia.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, I'm just I'm actually really surprised that you guys
would would do this for a billion dollars. Yeah. Yeah,
I've done a lot worse for a lot less. I
know you're in Houston right now, exactly, I'm not, you know,
(07:34):
for a billion dollars. I'm not sure if i'd rather
be in Houston or inside that spider filled cave.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I don't even know whose room this is, but he
seems nice.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Please tell me his name is Charlotte. Mister Charlotte. He's
not answering, Oh man, I yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I know I've had your wife, can Your wife wouldn't
be able to do it, right, Like, she's got a
huge phobia of like crickets and roaches and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Right, roaches, Yes, there's no way she could she could
do that in a room. I'm not I'm not sure
she could spend the night in a room with one
roach for a billion dollars. Really, yeah, that is how
bad she is, Like she is like a lot of
people will say they're phobic about things when they're really not.
Tara really is, in real life actually phobic when it
(08:42):
comes to roaches. Did I tell you about the time
I had to come home from work to save her
from one? No, Luckily for her. It was when I
lived only like five minutes from the radio station. But
it was middle of the days, like around lunchtime, and
Tarah calls me, which was very rare, like she's calling
me at work, so something must be wrong. And I
answered and she's like, you have to come home. There's
(09:03):
a roach. You have to come home. There's a roaches.
I'm like, what what? Trying to gather all the information
being thrust upon me, It's like, okay, I got it.
I was like, okay, do you know where it is?
She's like yeah, I was able to get a cup
on it or something. It's like okay. So I go
down elevator, parking garage, car, drive home and she is
sitting on the edge of the bed. This our apartment
(09:25):
at the time, the open bedroom door could look into
the open bathroom door and you could see sitting on
the edge of the bed with her knees to her chest,
staring at this cup. I think it was a Dicky's
cup that she was able to put over the top
of this roach in the bathroom, and she did not
(09:48):
move her eyes from it the entire time until I
got there to remove the roach.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
What happened when she was growing up? Like, what happened?
Something had to triggered this.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I agree. I think something did happen, But I don't
want to ask her because I feel like at this
point I don't want to open up that old wound.
Or perhaps she has repressed it to such a level
that she doesn't even remember it. It's just in her
subconscious to be that afraid of roaches, so that's definitely
a trauma. I don't want to explore. If she has
(10:25):
repressed it to the point to where she doesn't remember it,
I think it's best to let it stay forgotten.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I'm that way with wasps, like I don't first of all,
I don't understand what they're for, Like, they don't do anything,
They don't contribute to anything.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You're talking about the winged flying insects, not the white
I mean growing up in mis Guie, you have reasons
to be afraid of wasps.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I was allergic to wasp. I wouldn't be on this show.
There's two staring at me right now. No. When I
was a kid, I was attacked by my buddy AJ
lived next door. Here's my best friend, God rest his soul,
but he like there was a huge wasps nest and
(11:12):
he knocked it down with a broom And I remember
going next door and just like ringing the doorbell and
his sister answered.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I was like, h here, and she's like, no, he's
on the side of the house.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So I start walking to the side of the house
and I only hear is run and I get attacked
by like a swarm of wasps to my ear. And
my mother luckily was outside and she was watering the
lawn so she had the hose out, so she actually
got to be like, hose me down.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
But after that, like, I can't if I see a wasp,
I'll freak out.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So I know where my trauma comes from. Yeah, yeah,
the the closest I have to That is a dream
I had as a kid. And this is another great
example of how weird my brain is. Okay, I remember
a dream I had as a kid when I was
like five. This is a dream I remember being at
my grandmother's house in Tulsa. At the time. I'm outside
(12:10):
in the driveway playing and a car pulls up in
the cul de sac and the car doesn't even stop,
but the passenger door just opens, and out of it
crawls a massive spider, like big tarantula spider that just
jumps out of this moving car like it's the fast
and furious, running directly at me. And it was so
(12:31):
terrifying I woke up. But the point is is that
dream shook me so hard at the age of five
that forty one years later, I still remember it like
I had the dream five minutes ago. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You know what surprises me with Tara is because I
used to be really afraid of roaches, But after years
of working in the service industry, which anytime you have
food around, you're going to see roaches like you just
become immune to it. Rats not so much. I like
rats bother me deeply.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I hope they don't bother you deeply, hopefully not too deep.
Just a tip.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Let's talk to Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration
eight three three cook DFW to get your free roof
inspections scheduled, or to get a quote on an interior
or exterior home project that they are capable of doing.
Eight three three cook DFW Daniel. You're on roofs every
single day. You're in people's homes every single day outside
(13:59):
doing all sorts of projects. Any unseen consequences of the job.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Coming every day is a special day in my life.
Sometimes it's smashing your hand in the ladder. Sometimes it's
picking up buckets of debris or something like that and
stepping on a nail.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
You know, it's worked hazards. You know that's as common.
But yesterday I was on a commercial project and actually
was trying to get an inspection passed by the city,
and the installers of the fire sprinkler system missed a
couple of places where they had to add the piping
going through the tilt walls, and you have to fire
(14:38):
block those holes after their cut to prevent you know, obviously,
fire from spreading the one side of the building to
the other. And the canister that I was spraying unfortunately
backfired on me and it got that spray foam all
over my hand, and so my hand looked like it
was a solid orange puff of like like those orange
(14:58):
puffs that you eat, except up it won't come off.
And now now I'm still having to scrape the stuff
off physically. And then my hand was tacky. I couldn't
touch anything for like an hour because it would leave
a residue. So I was trying to drive home single
like opening my door, drive with the home with one
hand while keeping this hand somewhat in the air, trying
(15:21):
to make sure I don't touch anything. So yep, day
to day fun things that happened in the field.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So you glazed your fingers.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
They look like orange glaze.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yep, I'm guessing they don't taste like it.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Accidentally got that. I was trying to gnaw a piece
off and I accident got it. It tastes like WD
forty mm.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Despite those little consequences, Daniel is outstanding at his job
in very thorough. So thorough did he spray that phone
that he got his own hand, so his hand is
now flame. Retard give him a call. He'll make sure
your home and your property are an outstanding shape. Eight

(16:33):
Thanks Daniel Andcerrey. Uh Trey, you are in a new relationship.
How long have you and your girlfriend been together? Now?
Six seven weeks? How long have you and your mother
been around fifty one years and some change. Will your
(16:58):
new girlfriend ever meet your mother? No? Well really why?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Because my mother is a horrible person and would not
only will she not meet my mother, I don't will
not even tell my mother I'm in a relationship because
I know that will uh be a catalyst for her
to just absolutely drive me thatshit crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You don't want to give your mother any more ammunition
for anything to ruin your life?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, I just I have a very long track record
of knowing that when I am in a relationship, my
mother will even though I can't stand her, she feels
threatened by it and then wants to see if she
can monopolize my time and call me, you know, just
come up with the dumbest things to try to take
up my time. Now as years have passed, I have,
(17:55):
I have. When I was younger, I didn't really realize
this pattern and so it created problems. But I'm now
old enough to know better. But no, In fact, I've
already told Brandy. I was like, you will probably never
meet my mother.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Ever. Was she okay with that? Was she kind of relieved?
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I mean, I've told her enough that yeah, probably, But
I mean she at least understands that it's.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Nothing good will come of it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I don't want, you know, I don't like the holidays
because my mother ruined them, and uh like, so I've
explained to her, especially with everything going on with her
right now and the fact that she has now run
out of money and I have to figure stuff out,
I know she's gonna make this last these last. This
year's holiday is absolutely miserable. So I'm like, it's not personal.
(18:49):
I'm like, and thank God, my saving grace with a
lot of this is my stepmother. You know, has been
around long enough that she she's the one person who
can say, you know, yeah, if I hadn't seen it,
I wouldn't believe this either.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
But it's that left up. And keep in mind, Trey's
stepmom is the one that wanted Trey's stepmom is the
one that would rub ground beef on the car when
they would go to the Lion Country Safari, not because
she wanted Trey dead, but because she wanted to help
get a good show for the boy. If Trey's mom
(19:25):
was rubbing, or how about this, if Trey's mom had
a package of ground beef at Lion Country Sofari, she
would rub it on Trey. Say, George Wild rub it
on her as well, adult Trey would do that. Yeah,
Trey's idea of a place for mom is different than
what the commercial says. Very I mean, I can think
(19:56):
of it. I could think of a number of places
that would have a bit of a slant where Trey
would prefer to leave his mother where most people are
told that they're supposed to do with theirs. Interesting, okay,
and she's okay with that. So so.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
She's gonna do the holidays by herself. I guess because
you don't you don't want it. She has family, uh,
you know, around here, and so.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I just explained to her the situation I'm gonna I
was pretty upfront about it on the front end, like
I don't ever want you to I I now have
you know, fifty years of data to go. I don't
need you. You know, you're not missing out anything by
not ever meeting my mom. Yeah, and there's no no best.
(20:48):
The best thing that comes out of it is a
neutral outcome, but the chances are it's a very negative outcome.
It's like, why why screw things up?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, and that makes sense. Why mess with it? And
I'm with you. I do think it's interesting because I'm
sure that there's some women that might see it differently,
that might see it as, ooh, this is a red flag.
He's got a you know, a bad relationship with his
mom or whatever. Uh. That was actually one of the
things that bonded me and Tarror together was difficult relationships
(21:21):
with our mothers. And instead of instead of that being
a red flag in her eyes, it was it was
a green flag. Huh. So at the end of the day,
it's all about you know, just kind of finding your
person whoever you are compatible with. Whereas you Raj, you
(21:41):
had you know, you have a different You had a
different relationship with your mother than the trade does with his.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean we got to be friends a few
years before she passed away. But growing up, you know,
she suffered from severe PTSD from being the war in India.
She was stabbed in both k needs by Pakistani soldiers
and left to die and all this stuff. So she
was horribly abusive and didn't remember anything. And it was
(22:11):
actually the improv in Addison is she came out with
a bunch of her girlfriends and I did this joke
about getting my ass kicked within with an extension cord
and she's like, you can't tell that joke. That's that
didn't happen. I was like that, I can pick it out.
I know exactly which extension court in the garage it is.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Let's go Homember.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, And she like, I remember coming back home the
next day to have lunch with her, and she was
still sitting in the same spot, the same clothes from
the night before, and she's like, I remember remember everything now,
I'm so sorry. And then we became friends so we
would go have lunch like three or four times a week.
But prior to that note, prior to that, we absolutely
(22:52):
had no relationship at all. Like my dad would have
to call me in college and be like, can you
please call your mother?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You haven't talked to her weeks. Here, I'll give you so.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
At one point, I was in seventh grade and I
went to the school counselor to talk about something, and
she noticed that I had welts on my leg from
where my mother had taken a phone cord. If you're
probably under forty, may not remember that, But a phone cord,
the phone cord that went from the wall to the
actual phone ray then.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
A straight one uh huh and uh with absolutely zero
give yeah, and my mom had beaten the crap out
of me with one the night before, where I had
welts all over my leg.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Well, the school counselor saw this and obviously had to
do something about it, as as they do.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And something say something.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah, she had to call CPS and everything else. To
this day, my mother will blame me for having CPS called.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
On Woh, yeah, that is next level. See here's how
gangs to. My mom wants She's like, you want to.
I was like, I'll call CPS. She's like, I'll die
the number. Oh no, that was my dad. My dad
was like, yeah, oh okay, yeah, he goes. That's fine,
he goes because here's the thing. I'll get out sooner
or later. That's what I'm coming back home, all right.
(24:26):
Mother was a nurse, she was a caregiver.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That's actually that actually could then I might actually be
the worst possible scenario, because that means she could heal
you and then and then hurt you all over again,
just in a horrible cycle.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I used to ask her all the time.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I'm like, are you this meat, Like to like, are
you do you treat your patients like you treat me?
Because I would hate to go to your hospital.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah. So look, I don't mean to one up you guys.
I know we're sharing some severe mother issues and trauma,
but I feel compel to rise. Your mom beat you
with electrical cord, tray, your mom beat you with the
straight phone cord, the one that went from you know,
the phone to the wall. My mom actually beat me
with an electrical pole, went outside, ripped it right out
(25:14):
of the ground and just beat me. Stupid. It was
so bad. It was even written into an episode of
Highway to Heaven and Michael Landon gave up halfway through.
(25:36):
What a weird way to reference Highway to Heaven it was.
I loved that show. I thought to myself when I
would watch that show, I wish he'd walk by my house.

(27:10):
All right, here we go, last little bit here inside
the treehouse. I believe it was last week now. Last week,
Texas Governor Greg Abbot announced he will go for a
fourth term as governor of Texas. The announcement is, of
course not a surprise, but the headline that CBS used
(27:32):
on TV last week certainly was because the chiron across
the bottom of the screen reads Governor Greg Abbot to
run for fourth term. If we're being honest, it can't
(27:55):
really be mad at CBS eleven for staying Greg Abbott
is running for a term, especially when his campaign slogan
is let's roll It's just too good. So obviously he's
(28:16):
aware if he's using the campaign slogan let's roll with
I appreciate the font of that being in italics, as
if to show motion forward. It is common for news
stations to say someone is running for election or re election.
But obviously Greg Abbott hasn't run anywhere since that tree
(28:38):
landed on him so many years ago when he was running.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
While running, Yeah, you know how big of an a
hole you have to be for God to throw a
tree at you.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
He didn't throw it at him. He just uprooted it.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I mean, the next thing you should do is buy
a lottery ticket, because the odds of getting hit by
a tree.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
The moment that you run under it, it is small. Yeah,
it is very very small. Yeah. But as Trey helped
helped me with this, because you're a political science expert
here inside the treehouse. I before this, before this, Governor
Abbott running for his fourth term. Before this, I thought
(29:26):
that Texas had a term limit on governor. I thought
it was like three. But I guess there's not.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
There's not, And yeah, I'm kind of with you. I
kind of thought I thought there was one too, but
there there is not. Because the last time I even
remember someone going, Perry had taken over for Bush and
then ran two more times, and I kind of thought
(29:52):
that was it for him.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Uh yeah, no, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised that there's no
there's no term limit for governor of Tech. So I
am actually very curious to see what Abbot will prioritize
in his fourth term, especially on the heels of the
successful campaign to get those dangerous rainbows out of the crosswalks,
(30:16):
standing up for the people. Really, Trey, I expect more
out of you. You're the resident Republican in here. You're
the republican. RAJ is the bleeding heart liberal, and I'm
the even killed independent. Mm hmm okay, on the independent.
(30:44):
We agree on more things Dan than than the train.
I agree on. The thing is though, that I'm really
curious is in his fourth term, is Governor gonna take
his war on rainbows to another level? Like? You know
(31:05):
what this actually? I think this could actually be a treehouse.
Top five The top five rainbow related things Governor Abbott
will get rid of in his fourth term as governor?
All right?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Number one, No more Rainbow care Bear. Oh cares too much,
get rid of it. It's it's it's it's a furry
and doctrinator. That's what the Rainbow care Bear is got
to get rid of. That. Also, no more hits by
the band Rainbow. That's just too dangerous. That's too much fun.
Can't be singing rainbow songs. Also, no more skittles because
(31:42):
they want you to taste the rainbow, and well we
know what that means. Also, is there a deal in
place with the leprechaun so we can't get his lucky
charms because they're at the end of a rainbow. I
thought it was a pot of gold at the end
of a rainbow, right, yeah, that too. Whatever, it's a
(32:03):
rainbow in there and it's on it's on a kid cereal.
I assume Abbot is against it, because then that's just
a doctrination. Owes, it's little Gaye charms.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I figured you were gonna go ahole different direction and
he was just gonna send ice for the leprechauns.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Well, it depends on what color they are secure that border. Yeah.
Also in his fourth term, I assume Governor Abbott will
absolutely positively disallow reading rainbow sorry LeVar Uh. In fact,
no more rainbows at all of any kind anywhere for
any reason in the state of Texas, including the sky.
(32:50):
If you see a rainbow, or god forbid, a double rainbow,
that's when you call ice trade. Okay, you can show
up and they can they can zip cuff the rainbow
and haul it off to rainbow Alcatraz. Oh Greg Abbits,
(33:15):
God bless Texas.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I do like so like you see him in the
in the picture, like he's looks like he's standing, like
he's got the wheelchair that does that like lifts him up,
like to he looks like he's standing, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I've never seen that, always sawt he's just in his
normal chair. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I thought there was just a short I mean, I
hate to say it, a very short electern.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Which like it actually like stands him up, so he
looks like he's standing.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Oh, I know exactly what we were talking about. My
My uncle Milford had one of those Milford I've told
you about him before. He was the one who was
married to my great grandmother Glick, the racist with the
thin lips.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Your uncle was, Uh no, Dan, I think we we
we haven't.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
We haven't talked about this one. Uh I'm confused. What
are you talking about. Your uncle was married to your
great grandmother. That's just what we called him. I don't
know why she He was like her third husband. And
you know what, look you guys, I'm adopted. I didn't
(34:25):
choose this family. I didn't want to go to Pittsburgh,
Texas as a kid. It was thrust on me, kind
of like the incontinence that uncle Milford suffered from because
of the motorized scare would stand him up, it just
come running down his leg side.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Effects of inbreeding.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
It's like your royalty. The worst group of monarchs in history.

It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trade Trendholme and Raj Sharma, fresh off of shows in Houston.
Glad to have you back inside the Treehouse. Mister Sharma,
Thank you sir. Also, while we're on the topic, let's
go ahead and point out that you're going to stay
(00:50):
in Houston and any Treehouse listeners in the Houston area
should be making plans for Wednesday night if they don't
already have them with you right, Yes, I believe we're
close to sold out. I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I know people were trying to buy tickets last night
that were in line, like waiting for the meet and
greet with the buddy Adam Ray.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
They could not purchase tickets, so to where the Houston
improv there you go, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
So yeah, they couldn't buy tickets. So I don't know
if that was preferred seating that sold out, or if
the show in general is sold out.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Worst case scenario, just hover around the door and try
to sneak in somewhere and catch. Raj. Yeah, I'll fitch
in somewhere that sounds triable. You can try out of
intriloquous act with a listener. Just sit here and move
your mouth when I stick my hand up your button.
There you go. All right, Let's begin today with something
(01:50):
that you missed, Raj on the tree House Plus episode
on Patreon. On our tree House Plus episode on Patreon,
Trey and I discussed a dark room hidden in Greece
for god knows how many years, and it is covered
floor to ceiling with spiders. And so I posed this
(02:15):
question on social media. Are you ready? Here we go?
You get one billion dollars if you can spend the
night in here alone. Could you do it? The room
I'm talking about is the one that researchers discovered what
appears to be the world's largest spider web.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
This is in a pitch black cave in Greece. Scientists
found a stinking sponge spider web one hundred and eleven
thousand species of spiders, including two that were thought to
be hostile towards one another. They even show cutting away
the web that it reveals several layers underneath. So my
(03:02):
question holds Raj could you spend the night in this
cave for one billion dollars with one hundred eleven thousand spiders,
just you and just them.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, spiders don't bug me, Like, I'm not scared of
spiders at all.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, here's the thing. Whether you're phobic or not about spiders.
Spending the night in a gas filled cave with one
hundred eleven thousand of them, I think you'll become phobic.
They're at the very least, they're going to be annoying.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
So I I only had roommates in college one time,
and I moved in to their place and I woke
up the first day, woke up and this one should
have been a sign. I woke up and there was
a spider in my mouth, A dead spider in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Okay, So now imagine one hundred eleven thousand of them
trying to get in there all at the same time.
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now, Okay, hold on, because if they like are they poisonous?
Because if some of the some of them bite you,
like you can have like a brown recluse or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Like yeah, yeah, I don't know. The the video that
that we played that shows the cave and one hundred
eleven thousand spiders filling it. We don't know if they're
venomous or not. They're just in there. Yeah, gotcha, Yeah,
I think I could do it, Trey, What about you?
For one billion dollars, kid, could you spend the night
(04:34):
in this spider cave in Greece for.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
A billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I I For a billion dollars, I could do just
about anything.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I don't think I clearly Trey's open for business. I'll
let just you know what, Trey's got a good point.
He may let one hundred eleven thousand of just about
anything inside of him for a billion dollars. He's our
Bonnie Blue.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You get a billion dollars, A can afford a lot
of therapy, and B you can disappear.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You know what? That makes sense? I guess for a
bill for that amount of money, Trey would Trey would
pull a Scrooge McDuck into a pile of dicks, so
the spiders would be easy. What's say? I can't unsee
that now? You'll never watch that show the same way again.
(05:34):
I don't think I could. I mean, I would love
to say I tried. Look, I'll be honest, I would try,
Like you said, Trey, I would try just about anything
if you offer me a billion dollars. I don't know
if I could spend the night in that spider cave.
But you have a fear of spiders, right, I mean
it's not like a phobia thing. But I don't want
(05:56):
them crawling on me. Okay, I don't want one crawling
on me, let alone one hundred eleven thousand of them.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah. Now the one caveat of that is if they
are highly poisonous like brown recluse or then no, I
don't not for certain death.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Your next of ken will get a billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
So no, yeah, yeah I want the billion.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But yeah, I'm with Tray on that one.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Like if they're yeah, like black widows or you know,
like we're saying, like like things that can literally kill
you that right there?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Uh no, Yeah, if this cave was in Australia, no,
because I'm just gonna assume that's automatic death.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah. God, can you imagine what a what a death
cave in Australia would look like because Australia is out
in the open about everything that wanted to kill you.
Imagine something finding imagine finding something hidden. How bad that
must be.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Oh yeah, I mean they have jellyfish that are the
size of your like pinky nail that can kill you
in Australia.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, I'm just I'm actually really surprised that you guys
would would do this for a billion dollars. Yeah. Yeah,
I've done a lot worse for a lot less. I
know you're in Houston right now, exactly, I'm not, you know,
(07:34):
for a billion dollars. I'm not sure if i'd rather
be in Houston or inside that spider filled cave.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I don't even know whose room this is, but he
seems nice.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Please tell me his name is Charlotte. Mister Charlotte. He's
not answering, Oh man, I yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I know I've had your wife, can Your wife wouldn't
be able to do it, right, Like, she's got a
huge phobia of like crickets and roaches and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Right, roaches, Yes, there's no way she could she could
do that in a room. I'm not I'm not sure
she could spend the night in a room with one
roach for a billion dollars. Really, yeah, that is how
bad she is, Like she is like a lot of
people will say they're phobic about things when they're really not.
Tara really is, in real life actually phobic when it
(08:42):
comes to roaches. Did I tell you about the time
I had to come home from work to save her
from one? No, Luckily for her. It was when I
lived only like five minutes from the radio station. But
it was middle of the days, like around lunchtime, and
Tarah calls me, which was very rare, like she's calling
me at work, so something must be wrong. And I
answered and she's like, you have to come home. There's
(09:03):
a roach. You have to come home. There's a roaches.
I'm like, what what? Trying to gather all the information
being thrust upon me, It's like, okay, I got it.
I was like, okay, do you know where it is?
She's like yeah, I was able to get a cup
on it or something. It's like okay. So I go
down elevator, parking garage, car, drive home and she is
sitting on the edge of the bed. This our apartment
(09:25):
at the time, the open bedroom door could look into
the open bathroom door and you could see sitting on
the edge of the bed with her knees to her chest,
staring at this cup. I think it was a Dicky's
cup that she was able to put over the top
of this roach in the bathroom, and she did not
(09:48):
move her eyes from it the entire time until I
got there to remove the roach.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
What happened when she was growing up? Like, what happened?
Something had to triggered this.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I agree. I think something did happen, But I don't
want to ask her because I feel like at this
point I don't want to open up that old wound.
Or perhaps she has repressed it to such a level
that she doesn't even remember it. It's just in her
subconscious to be that afraid of roaches, so that's definitely
a trauma. I don't want to explore. If she has
(10:25):
repressed it to the point to where she doesn't remember it,
I think it's best to let it stay forgotten.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I'm that way with wasps, like I don't first of all,
I don't understand what they're for, Like, they don't do anything,
They don't contribute to anything.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You're talking about the winged flying insects, not the white
I mean growing up in mis Guie, you have reasons
to be afraid of wasps.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I was allergic to wasp. I wouldn't be on this show.
There's two staring at me right now. No. When I
was a kid, I was attacked by my buddy AJ
lived next door. Here's my best friend, God rest his soul,
but he like there was a huge wasps nest and
(11:12):
he knocked it down with a broom And I remember
going next door and just like ringing the doorbell and
his sister answered.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I was like, h here, and she's like, no, he's
on the side of the house.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So I start walking to the side of the house
and I only hear is run and I get attacked
by like a swarm of wasps to my ear. And
my mother luckily was outside and she was watering the
lawn so she had the hose out, so she actually
got to be like, hose me down.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
But after that, like, I can't if I see a wasp,
I'll freak out.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So I know where my trauma comes from. Yeah, yeah,
the the closest I have to That is a dream
I had as a kid. And this is another great
example of how weird my brain is. Okay, I remember
a dream I had as a kid when I was
like five. This is a dream I remember being at
my grandmother's house in Tulsa. At the time. I'm outside
(12:10):
in the driveway playing and a car pulls up in
the cul de sac and the car doesn't even stop,
but the passenger door just opens, and out of it
crawls a massive spider, like big tarantula spider that just
jumps out of this moving car like it's the fast
and furious, running directly at me. And it was so
(12:31):
terrifying I woke up. But the point is is that
dream shook me so hard at the age of five
that forty one years later, I still remember it like
I had the dream five minutes ago. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You know what surprises me with Tara is because I
used to be really afraid of roaches, But after years
of working in the service industry, which anytime you have
food around, you're going to see roaches like you just
become immune to it. Rats not so much. I like
rats bother me deeply.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I hope they don't bother you deeply, hopefully not too deep.
Just a tip.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Let's talk to Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration
eight three three cook DFW to get your free roof
inspections scheduled, or to get a quote on an interior
or exterior home project that they are capable of doing.
Eight three three cook DFW Daniel. You're on roofs every
single day. You're in people's homes every single day outside
(13:59):
doing all sorts of projects. Any unseen consequences of the job.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Coming every day is a special day in my life.
Sometimes it's smashing your hand in the ladder. Sometimes it's
picking up buckets of debris or something like that and
stepping on a nail.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
You know, it's worked hazards. You know that's as common.
But yesterday I was on a commercial project and actually
was trying to get an inspection passed by the city,
and the installers of the fire sprinkler system missed a
couple of places where they had to add the piping
going through the tilt walls, and you have to fire
(14:38):
block those holes after their cut to prevent you know, obviously,
fire from spreading the one side of the building to
the other. And the canister that I was spraying unfortunately
backfired on me and it got that spray foam all
over my hand, and so my hand looked like it
was a solid orange puff of like like those orange
(14:58):
puffs that you eat, except up it won't come off.
And now now I'm still having to scrape the stuff
off physically. And then my hand was tacky. I couldn't
touch anything for like an hour because it would leave
a residue. So I was trying to drive home single
like opening my door, drive with the home with one
hand while keeping this hand somewhat in the air, trying
(15:21):
to make sure I don't touch anything. So yep, day
to day fun things that happened in the field.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So you glazed your fingers.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
They look like orange glaze.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yep, I'm guessing they don't taste like it.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Accidentally got that. I was trying to gnaw a piece
off and I accident got it. It tastes like WD
forty mm.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Despite those little consequences, Daniel is outstanding at his job
in very thorough. So thorough did he spray that phone
that he got his own hand, so his hand is
now flame. Retard give him a call. He'll make sure
your home and your property are an outstanding shape. Eight

(16:33):
Thanks Daniel Andcerrey. Uh Trey, you are in a new relationship.
How long have you and your girlfriend been together? Now?
Six seven weeks? How long have you and your mother
been around fifty one years and some change. Will your
(16:58):
new girlfriend ever meet your mother? No? Well really why?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Because my mother is a horrible person and would not
only will she not meet my mother, I don't will
not even tell my mother I'm in a relationship because
I know that will uh be a catalyst for her
to just absolutely drive me thatshit crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You don't want to give your mother any more ammunition
for anything to ruin your life?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, I just I have a very long track record
of knowing that when I am in a relationship, my
mother will even though I can't stand her, she feels
threatened by it and then wants to see if she
can monopolize my time and call me, you know, just
come up with the dumbest things to try to take
up my time. Now as years have passed, I have,
(17:55):
I have. When I was younger, I didn't really realize
this pattern and so it created problems. But I'm now
old enough to know better. But no, In fact, I've
already told Brandy. I was like, you will probably never
meet my mother.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Ever. Was she okay with that? Was she kind of relieved?
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I mean, I've told her enough that yeah, probably, But
I mean she at least understands that it's.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Nothing good will come of it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I don't want, you know, I don't like the holidays
because my mother ruined them, and uh like, so I've
explained to her, especially with everything going on with her
right now and the fact that she has now run
out of money and I have to figure stuff out,
I know she's gonna make this last these last. This
year's holiday is absolutely miserable. So I'm like, it's not personal.
(18:49):
I'm like, and thank God, my saving grace with a
lot of this is my stepmother. You know, has been
around long enough that she she's the one person who
can say, you know, yeah, if I hadn't seen it,
I wouldn't believe this either.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
But it's that left up. And keep in mind, Trey's
stepmom is the one that wanted Trey's stepmom is the
one that would rub ground beef on the car when
they would go to the Lion Country Safari, not because
she wanted Trey dead, but because she wanted to help
get a good show for the boy. If Trey's mom
(19:25):
was rubbing, or how about this, if Trey's mom had
a package of ground beef at Lion Country Sofari, she
would rub it on Trey. Say, George Wild rub it
on her as well, adult Trey would do that. Yeah,
Trey's idea of a place for mom is different than
what the commercial says. Very I mean, I can think
(19:56):
of it. I could think of a number of places
that would have a bit of a slant where Trey
would prefer to leave his mother where most people are
told that they're supposed to do with theirs. Interesting, okay,
and she's okay with that. So so.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
She's gonna do the holidays by herself. I guess because
you don't you don't want it. She has family, uh,
you know, around here, and so.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I just explained to her the situation I'm gonna I
was pretty upfront about it on the front end, like
I don't ever want you to I I now have
you know, fifty years of data to go. I don't
need you. You know, you're not missing out anything by
not ever meeting my mom. Yeah, and there's no no best.
(20:48):
The best thing that comes out of it is a
neutral outcome, but the chances are it's a very negative outcome.
It's like, why why screw things up?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, and that makes sense. Why mess with it? And
I'm with you. I do think it's interesting because I'm
sure that there's some women that might see it differently,
that might see it as, ooh, this is a red flag.
He's got a you know, a bad relationship with his
mom or whatever. Uh. That was actually one of the
things that bonded me and Tarror together was difficult relationships
(21:21):
with our mothers. And instead of instead of that being
a red flag in her eyes, it was it was
a green flag. Huh. So at the end of the day,
it's all about you know, just kind of finding your
person whoever you are compatible with. Whereas you Raj, you
(21:41):
had you know, you have a different You had a
different relationship with your mother than the trade does with his.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean we got to be friends a few
years before she passed away. But growing up, you know,
she suffered from severe PTSD from being the war in India.
She was stabbed in both k needs by Pakistani soldiers
and left to die and all this stuff. So she
was horribly abusive and didn't remember anything. And it was
(22:11):
actually the improv in Addison is she came out with
a bunch of her girlfriends and I did this joke
about getting my ass kicked within with an extension cord
and she's like, you can't tell that joke. That's that
didn't happen. I was like that, I can pick it out.
I know exactly which extension court in the garage it is.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Let's go Homember.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, And she like, I remember coming back home the
next day to have lunch with her, and she was
still sitting in the same spot, the same clothes from
the night before, and she's like, I remember remember everything now,
I'm so sorry. And then we became friends so we
would go have lunch like three or four times a week.
But prior to that note, prior to that, we absolutely
(22:52):
had no relationship at all. Like my dad would have
to call me in college and be like, can you
please call your mother?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You haven't talked to her weeks. Here, I'll give you so.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
At one point, I was in seventh grade and I
went to the school counselor to talk about something, and
she noticed that I had welts on my leg from
where my mother had taken a phone cord. If you're
probably under forty, may not remember that, But a phone cord,
the phone cord that went from the wall to the
actual phone ray then.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
A straight one uh huh and uh with absolutely zero
give yeah, and my mom had beaten the crap out
of me with one the night before, where I had
welts all over my leg.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Well, the school counselor saw this and obviously had to
do something about it, as as they do.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And something say something.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah, she had to call CPS and everything else. To
this day, my mother will blame me for having CPS called.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
On Woh, yeah, that is next level. See here's how
gangs to. My mom wants She's like, you want to.
I was like, I'll call CPS. She's like, I'll die
the number. Oh no, that was my dad. My dad
was like, yeah, oh okay, yeah, he goes. That's fine,
he goes because here's the thing. I'll get out sooner
or later. That's what I'm coming back home, all right.
(24:26):
Mother was a nurse, she was a caregiver.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That's actually that actually could then I might actually be
the worst possible scenario, because that means she could heal
you and then and then hurt you all over again,
just in a horrible cycle.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I used to ask her all the time.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I'm like, are you this meat, Like to like, are
you do you treat your patients like you treat me?
Because I would hate to go to your hospital.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah. So look, I don't mean to one up you guys.
I know we're sharing some severe mother issues and trauma,
but I feel compel to rise. Your mom beat you
with electrical cord, tray, your mom beat you with the
straight phone cord, the one that went from you know,
the phone to the wall. My mom actually beat me
with an electrical pole, went outside, ripped it right out
(25:14):
of the ground and just beat me. Stupid. It was
so bad. It was even written into an episode of
Highway to Heaven and Michael Landon gave up halfway through.
(25:36):
What a weird way to reference Highway to Heaven it was.
I loved that show. I thought to myself when I
would watch that show, I wish he'd walk by my house.

(27:10):
All right, here we go, last little bit here inside
the treehouse. I believe it was last week now. Last week,
Texas Governor Greg Abbot announced he will go for a
fourth term as governor of Texas. The announcement is, of
course not a surprise, but the headline that CBS used
(27:32):
on TV last week certainly was because the chiron across
the bottom of the screen reads Governor Greg Abbot to
run for fourth term. If we're being honest, it can't
(27:55):
really be mad at CBS eleven for staying Greg Abbott
is running for a term, especially when his campaign slogan
is let's roll It's just too good. So obviously he's
(28:16):
aware if he's using the campaign slogan let's roll with
I appreciate the font of that being in italics, as
if to show motion forward. It is common for news
stations to say someone is running for election or re election.
But obviously Greg Abbott hasn't run anywhere since that tree
(28:38):
landed on him so many years ago when he was running.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
While running, Yeah, you know how big of an a
hole you have to be for God to throw a
tree at you.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
He didn't throw it at him. He just uprooted it.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I mean, the next thing you should do is buy
a lottery ticket, because the odds of getting hit by
a tree.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
The moment that you run under it, it is small. Yeah,
it is very very small. Yeah. But as Trey helped
helped me with this, because you're a political science expert
here inside the treehouse. I before this, before this, Governor
Abbott running for his fourth term. Before this, I thought
(29:26):
that Texas had a term limit on governor. I thought
it was like three. But I guess there's not.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
There's not, And yeah, I'm kind of with you. I
kind of thought I thought there was one too, but
there there is not. Because the last time I even
remember someone going, Perry had taken over for Bush and
then ran two more times, and I kind of thought
(29:52):
that was it for him.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Uh yeah, no, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised that there's no
there's no term limit for governor of Tech. So I
am actually very curious to see what Abbot will prioritize
in his fourth term, especially on the heels of the
successful campaign to get those dangerous rainbows out of the crosswalks,
(30:16):
standing up for the people. Really, Trey, I expect more
out of you. You're the resident Republican in here. You're
the republican. RAJ is the bleeding heart liberal, and I'm
the even killed independent. Mm hmm okay, on the independent.
(30:44):
We agree on more things Dan than than the train.
I agree on. The thing is though, that I'm really
curious is in his fourth term, is Governor gonna take
his war on rainbows to another level? Like? You know
(31:05):
what this actually? I think this could actually be a treehouse.
Top five The top five rainbow related things Governor Abbott
will get rid of in his fourth term as governor?
All right?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Number one, No more Rainbow care Bear. Oh cares too much,
get rid of it. It's it's it's it's a furry
and doctrinator. That's what the Rainbow care Bear is got
to get rid of. That. Also, no more hits by
the band Rainbow. That's just too dangerous. That's too much fun.
Can't be singing rainbow songs. Also, no more skittles because
(31:42):
they want you to taste the rainbow, and well we
know what that means. Also, is there a deal in
place with the leprechaun so we can't get his lucky
charms because they're at the end of a rainbow. I
thought it was a pot of gold at the end
of a rainbow, right, yeah, that too. Whatever, it's a
(32:03):
rainbow in there and it's on it's on a kid cereal.
I assume Abbot is against it, because then that's just
a doctrination. Owes, it's little Gaye charms.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I figured you were gonna go ahole different direction and
he was just gonna send ice for the leprechauns.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Well, it depends on what color they are secure that border. Yeah.
Also in his fourth term, I assume Governor Abbott will
absolutely positively disallow reading rainbow sorry LeVar Uh. In fact,
no more rainbows at all of any kind anywhere for
any reason in the state of Texas, including the sky.
(32:50):
If you see a rainbow, or god forbid, a double rainbow,
that's when you call ice trade. Okay, you can show
up and they can they can zip cuff the rainbow
and haul it off to rainbow Alcatraz. Oh Greg Abbits,
(33:15):
God bless Texas.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I do like so like you see him in the
in the picture, like he's looks like he's standing, like
he's got the wheelchair that does that like lifts him up,
like to he looks like he's standing, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I've never seen that, always sawt he's just in his
normal chair. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I thought there was just a short I mean, I
hate to say it, a very short electern.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Which like it actually like stands him up, so he
looks like he's standing.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Oh, I know exactly what we were talking about. My
My uncle Milford had one of those Milford I've told
you about him before. He was the one who was
married to my great grandmother Glick, the racist with the
thin lips.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Your uncle was, Uh no, Dan, I think we we
we haven't.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
We haven't talked about this one. Uh I'm confused. What
are you talking about. Your uncle was married to your
great grandmother. That's just what we called him. I don't
know why she He was like her third husband. And
you know what, look you guys, I'm adopted. I didn't
(34:25):
choose this family. I didn't want to go to Pittsburgh,
Texas as a kid. It was thrust on me, kind
of like the incontinence that uncle Milford suffered from because
of the motorized scare would stand him up, it just
come running down his leg side.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Effects of inbreeding.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
It's like your royalty. The worst group of monarchs in history.
