Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everybody, This is Trey Trenholm from The Treehouse Show
podcast and although we're off this week, we didn't want
to leave you completely high and dry, so we picked
out some of our favorite segments throughout the year, and
today you'll get to hear my picks. So you'll learn
about the fabulous story of Dick Tips that can join
twins Carmen and Lupita, a guy whose wife left him
because he thought he was batman, and a story about
(00:20):
gender controversy and women's weightlifting, and we handle it as
delicately as possible.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
As only we can. Laces out einhorn.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hope y'all had a great Christmas and have a happy
new Year, and we will see you back here live
on January sixth. Meanwhile, if you want more information, please

Speaker 3 (00:46):
It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trade Trenholme and Raj Sharma. Today is Wednesday, April thirtieth,
two thousand five. On today's show, everyone talks about the
most popular baby names. Well, Trey has dug up some
(01:08):
of the rarest baby names and awesomely the worst busines
escape you've ever heard of. That's today inside the Treehouse
and we start yay with this. All right, guys, need
(01:31):
you to pay clodstension here. This headline goes hard, so
I need you to brace yourselves. The San Antonio funeral
home mogul named Dick Pips is taking firms and against
his hoa. That's like the headline straight out of the
(01:53):
Onion or the Abalon Tree. But no, no, this is
a San Antonio Express news, an actual behind a paywall
news outlet. So some of the information I have in
this story is dark or murky. But can you believe
(02:16):
Dick Tips woke up one morning wooden hand and said,
I'm gonna build a funeral home empire. Very impressive. His
very full name is Robert Tips. Dick is his nickname,
and he's taking his h away head on.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Now.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I don't know a lot about white people nicknames, but is.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
It Robert, Bob and Richard Dick?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yes, okay, so he picked I'm gonna say it, he
picked Dick.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well, we don't know that Dick may have been thrust
upon him.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
You know, and he's an adult. At any point you
can change it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah you can. You can say no, yeah too, that naps.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
I just want to know, like if they're being invited
to dinner and it's like, you know, you know, it's
a it's another couple, Like, hey, so who are we inviting?
You know, It's like we'll invite a few people. It's
like no, no, just invite you know, just just the tips.
We wanted to be intimate evenings, just us and the tips.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Look, if you didn't need more evidence that we're all
extremely childish in here for middle aged men. YEP, exhibits A, B,
and C. But this is an actual story, believe it
or not. A funeral home mogul Robert Dick Tips is
(03:49):
taking a San Antonio homeowners association to court over its
removal of a billboard from property he owns. Mister Tips
is the chairman and cee of Mission Park Funeral Chapels
and Cemeteries, and he alleges one or more persons believed
to have been acting on behalf of, or in conspiracy with,
the Coronado Enclave Homeowners Association went on to his property
(04:13):
and unlawfully removed a sign while mister Dick Tips doesn't
know who trespassed to remove the billboard. He says, the
association and one of the five individuals and one of
the five individual defendants are likely to have knowledge about
what happened to it. So here we have a big
(04:35):
conspiracy against mister Dick Tips. Look, I realized that career
day in school there wasn't a funeral director in attendance
to talk to us about the profession, let alone becoming
(04:59):
a mogul in the industry. Maybe because they saw his
name and wouldn't let him in the school. I don't know,
but I will say this, if you really want to
get in the head, damn it screw up on punchline,
But I will say this, if you really want to
(05:19):
get ahead in life, I suggest cozying ut to Dick
Tips Dick Tip's funeral home.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know Dick had another business too, what's up? During
COVID H he also became a meltman and uh yeah,
he had to figure out how to buy three thousand
gallons of melt. But then once he secured the load,
(05:56):
he printed a truck and bought it from Tyler to
San Antonio, drove it home.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Then he took it to the streets.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
There's times I'm wondering if Troy started drinking again.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
That's just how much the tree, That's just how much
fun the tree, howse show is. It'll make your question,
It'll make your question a sober man, sobriety.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Just y'all think I'm making that Uphell.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
The link actually sounds very familiar.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Oh you're not kidding. No, I apology.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
My poor memory. I thought it sounded familiar like some
other news story that we had talked about that I
was having a hard time connecting the dots. But I
didn't want to be the only person to say I
don't get it. But now I do because you sent
the link.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Thank you, trem It became a milkman.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
From from services to food delivery. How Dick Tips became
San Antonio's new milkman. Today's going to be so good?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
In a story that I'm sure is going to rock
the Treehouse to its core. Conjoined twins Carmen and Lipita
have lived their entire lives connected at the Torso, but
in twenty twenty four, Carmen made headlines when she married
her longtime boyfriend Daniel. The twist. Loupita, who shares organs
(09:58):
with her conjoined sister, made it clear she's not in
the relationship and still considers herself single. So you know,
if you're looking, Lupita is still single.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Are you guys? Okay? Now, how conjoined are they?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And where at the Torso Torso?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
At the Torso So it's it's the chest. They're they're
they're they're they're connected at the chest and they share organs.
One of them got married last year, but the other
one swears no, no, no, I am still single and
ready to mingle.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
The couple slash trio say they have found a dynamic
that works and refuse to let outsiders define what's normal.
Carmen calls it love, Lupita calls it independence. Online it
sparked a global conversation about consent, identity, and what it
really means to share your life with some one.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, okay that how do you do that? Like?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
I need to talk to this Daniel guy.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
It's a good it's a good question to have. I'm
with you that a lot have it, which is how.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
I mean it's an easy, I guess easy threesome. There's
too many jokes here. That's the wrong it is. But
here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I feel like this is a genie and a bottle
granting wishes that have gone awry, Like like a guy
finds the genie in the sand, or find a guy
finds a bottle and he rubs the lamp. That's what it's. Sorry,
guy finds the lamp and he rubs it. Jeanie pops
out and says, I'm gonna give you three wishes, and
one of the first ones the guy says, I want
two checks at the same time, and the genie says, okay,
(11:55):
But you probably should have tailored your question a little
more carefully because I'm gonna throw you at crackball. Are
you not pleased there's two of them here? Sure they're
connected at the chest. What happens if what's the Lupita
h Carmen and Lupita?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
What happens if Lupita decides to go through a slutty phase?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Good for Daniel? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
That's that's cheap, I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I saw the on what was it TLC or something
that the other girls that I have the two heads
or whatever it is, and they finish their own sentences.
It's so weird, like I can't even imagine. And they're married,
so I can't imagine how that works.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I really don't know either. It's just really I mean,
we all have questions, and I really feel like we
all are wondering the same thing.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I mean, if one of them gets pregnant, do you
know who the father is?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I'd have more questions if you didn't.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I mean, if they you know, had a wild night.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
What.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, there's a lot of questions.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Maybe you're right. I really don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yeah, they're good looking.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I mean, I'm gonna show you I think I found
a photo hear me, so I can show this to
you guys. Maybe just a second here. Uh So they
are connected at the torso they have two heads, but
outside of that, every all the other appendages seem to
be quote unquote normal. They got two arms, two legs,
(14:04):
So I'm I'm guessing the downstairs area is a shared space.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I don't know. I mean, do you do you do
you have to, like, you know, put it on your
calendar like they do. They they have.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
A like a a Google calendar for their privates.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You know, who gets time?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh that's a good question. Well not only that, but
when it comes time, you know, for the one that's
married to the guy, when it's time for them to
be romantic with one another, the other one claims independence
and is not a part of it. So then do
you just like cover her with a sheet? I mean what,
I don't I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I mean, I mean, if you do a really good job,
do they both scream?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Who makes that top?
Speaker 7 (14:57):
That's all I'm looking at.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I think that's that's Grandma. That's that's Grandma was Jesus.
She's met. That's that's custom. That's called the spoke.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
That's a really niche audience.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It really is, it really is. Yeah. But I will
say this, I'm happy that Daniel and which oneman is
it Carmen the one that he married?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Uh yeah, Loupita is the one that is single. Carmen
is married.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Doggie style has got to be really awkward.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
One who do you walk out on in the morning,
you guys, I mean, there's what if the single one
wants to sabbat?
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Who's the single one?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I think it's the one on the right, I really do.
I think it's the one on the right.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Since then at a bar you want to talk to
the one on the right.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Well, at some point, I'm curious. I'm curious how how
they all met, because Daniel and Carmen had are now married,
at some point had to meet, and at some point
someone had to say that they were interested or not,
Like Daniel approaches them as like hi does does Lupitia
(16:41):
immediately say no? And Carmen's like yes.
Speaker 11 (16:45):
I guess they said at a corner, hey, can I
talk to your sister? Where she ad that's not a question.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, I want to know the origin story. I want
to know how they met.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Yeah, and they won't disclose.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
They're like, it's not you know, we don't just you know,
whatever's normal as normal whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
But you say that, but eventually Lupita is gonna go.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Off. What if one of them's a lesbian? What do
you do then?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Well, then Daniel says, that's the second wish that came to.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Days ago, Eonline gave us an update about Carmen and
Lupita Andrade, the conjoined twins, one of which Carmen recently
announced she married twenty eight year old Daniel McCormick. In
the fallout from that matrimony, Lupita, the other sister, swears
she is single and is independent of their relationship and
(17:56):
of their marriage. That being said, when it was time
for a family vacation, they obviously went together because they're
joined at the torso. But two weeks after the TikToker,
who is a conjoined twin with sister Lupita, Carmen announced
that she and husband Daniel McCormick tied the knot, and
(18:17):
she shared a glimpse into their first summer together as
a married couple and her July twenty fourth Instagram post,
the twenty five year old twins enjoyed a relaxing canoe
ride on a lake and their parents also tagged along.
Carmen included a sweet photo of their dad smiling as
he paddled the boat and Daniel, the husband, fishing as
she described the outing last minute late evening con Lafamilia.
(18:40):
True to their love of nature, Carmen and Daniel had
been spending a lot of time together outside. In fact,
the duo who met on Hinge in twenty twenty. That's
when Hinge is more than the name.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, on a boat, I mean they'd be handy on
a boat.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
They've got three to sixty look, but that is that'd
be awkward if they were both on you know, online
dating profiles, you know, and you swiped right on one,
left on the other, you got conjoined.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Fished probably, I mean they are they are, you know, twins,
but they they do look a little different, so yeah,
they're not. They're not identical.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Yeah, that's the issue.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
They have a good side.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
They so there at least we have a little more
info into the backstory of their relationship. They met on
hinge h in twenty twenty. The rest of their romantic
trip or I'm sorry. As for their most romantic trip,
the couple exchanged their vals at the Lover's Leap Bridge
in New Milford, Connecticut, last October. They later gushed over
(20:03):
the experience on the Twins YouTube channel, noting the ceremony
was a small get together with just local family.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Well, there's just lovers Leap?
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Is that what it was called.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
It's a very well known bridge in the area.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Okay, I was gonna say, if you jump, one's not
gonna want to go.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
That's why they call it the Lover's Leap, and not
to conjoin twins Leap because one's still hanging on.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yep. That first dance had to be really awkward.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
It's funny you mentioned that because I believe there was
another couple that this happened. I need to check to
see if this is a different couple or if in
fact actually was the same couple. But uh, there was
a couple that went viral on their first dance. It's
the guy dancing with his wife and her sister that's
conjoined to her is just kind of there. It might
(21:11):
have been this, It might have been these people.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Be you asked to cut in.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
H do they do they receive that question the same way?
Or they think that you're offering your services as a surgeon?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean if they line, if they line dance,
there's gotta be some great choreography there.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
They each learn half the steps the wobble.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Dar.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
We were doing so good at not being offensive.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I have lost my place because I was trying to
remember where I wanted to start today because there's so
much good stuff the news. Let's start with this. A
school bus driver allegedly drove students while drunk, but he
says that's not true because the smell of alcohol on
his breath was actually Nike Will, old school Nike Will. Huh.
(23:41):
I'm not driving your kids drunk around town on a
school bus. I've just effed up on Nike Will.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Just spy.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
How dare you accuse me of something so terrible? I've
been driving these kids around, you know, for years, and
you're gonna that one just actually kicked me right in
the gut. Surprisingly, this was not Florida. This is Maple Lake, Minnesota.
(24:11):
The school bus driver allegedly drove his students to school
while intoxicated, later telling the police the alcohol the students
smelled on him was from niquil. According to documents obtained
by a local outlet, school resource officer for Maple Lake
Schools was notified by his student that their bus driver
smelled like alcohol. I would like to I hope that
they said bus driver smells like mommy.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I really do think that's got to be.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The second visit you make is if you know how
old did it say how all these kids are elementary?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
The officer contacted the bus company to do charging documents.
Multiple students, multiple students under the age of sixteen. Didn't
say how many students. So you're.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
If you're a kid, and you know what alcohol smells like.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Through breath, like not just whiffing it out the top
of the bottle, but mixed in with you know, human biology.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, if you can go, oh, Jack Daniel, single barrel.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
The bus driver smells like my mom Stanley or dad
or dad at football practice. Yeah, it's a bit of
a hint there. So he's in trouble. He's probably not
going to be driving kids around anymore, if ever ever again.
(25:44):
A woman filed for divorce because her husband decided he
was Batman. I tell you you, you show me a
man with a dream, and I'll show you a woman
who wants to squash it. The first month of married
life for this couple went smoothly, but then the husband
started acting completely unhinged. Unhinged he would regularly roam the
(26:09):
house in a Batman costume, force his wife to watch
Batman movies, insist on being called Bruce Wayne, and disappear
at night whenever he saw lights in the sky that
he believed were the bat signal. The last straw came
when the woman woke up in the middle of the
night to find her husband in a Batman suit, standing
in the dark and speaking in a deep, brooding voice.
(26:32):
After that, she packed her things, went to her parents' house,
and filed for divorce. I say for richer, for poorer,
sickness and in health. Meet his superhero energy with your own.
He's Batman, you'd be wonder woman.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
At least she didn't file assault charges on him.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Me.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That may be the best double on hundred joke slash
punchline in the history of this program. And I am
including every iteration of it, Sir, I am, I am
shook right, Damn. Look, I don't know you know how
(27:33):
they say that, Oh, I bet so and so is
rolling over in their grave. Well I don't think you
can roll over in your grave if you've been cremated.
But I would like to think somewhere in a tube
six feet beneath the surface of a cemetery in Garland, Texas,
a little.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Just occurred.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Me.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Man.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
All I want to do now is stop the show,
go back and pull the audio and just listen to
it for the rest of the day, maybe the rest
of Black Friday, maybe the whole weekend.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
All right, well done.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
If I was wearing a hat, I would tip it
to you. If I was wearing a cowl, I would
rip it off and go as it is a couple
more pieces of things to play with. The World's Strongest
(28:47):
Woman is a man.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
It's a man.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That ain't no woman.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
It's a man man.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I love twenty twenty five. I know things like this
shouldn't make my heart happy, but they kind of do.
Jammy Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the
competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington
over the weekend. The Official Games took place number twenty
(29:24):
through twenty third in Arlington, featured hundreds of athletes across
multiple divisions and competitions, with one of the biggest ones
being the twenty twenty five World Strongest Woman. Jammy Booker,
an alleged transgender athlete, was the one who came out
on top. However, Jammy was disqualified after the competition, making
Andrea Thompson the overall champion because it turns out Jammy
(29:49):
was born a man and In the rules and regulations
for the competition, it expressly states you have to compete
with the gender of your birth. I know this is
a hot topic in the world nowadays, and for some reason,
this is you know, split along political ideologies, like everything
(30:09):
seems to be these days. I have a simple solution,
and please, Tray Jerry tell me if this is half cocked.
You've got the male division, you've got the female division.
And the controversy in these competitions arises when you've got
someone that was a man at some point, or was
born a man, transitions or is in the process of transitioning,
(30:33):
and then competes in the woman's side and just destroys
all the female competitors to take the top spot.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I don't think there's any examples of a female's you know,
switching sides and dominating the men, at least not in
competitive sports. Can we just have a third category, just
have the trans category and let the trans athlete compete
against themselves. And if you know what, because and here's
the other thing to keep in mind across the world
(31:01):
and competitions that happen every single day, the number of
trans athletes competing in the opposite division of their birth
is extremely small. So if you create a trans division
for these competitions, you may have absolutely zero people in it,
or you may have one. But at least that's the spot.
(31:24):
I feel like that's a compromise. It's a solution for everybody,
and we can get back to debating things that truly matter,
and that is whether or not to wear crocs on
an airline.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
That has been proposed and soundly rejected by the trans community.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Because they don't want to be seen as something other
than what they're wanting to be. Yes, well, I mean
at a certain point you just got to face reality.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Well, I think everyone is entitled to be happy. And
I can't even imagine what it's like to be born
and not feel comfortable in your own skin and feel
like you want to be someone else.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
And but one of.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
The things and quite frankly, it's really one of the
things that is now, especially in the LGBT community, there
has been a trend of you know, because most most
trans people want to blend in, They want to be
seen as normal, not and and I think this is
(32:25):
an unfortunate deal of our age of the time we
live in that there are a lot of people who
want attention, but toss out the big One of the
biggest bullshit things of the last ten years was the
notion that there is no difference between sexes.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yes, there is. Everyone knows it absolutely.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
And to say that, you know, oh, you know, you
grow you grow up as you know, a biological male,
and then you decide to switch, well, you still have
the benefits, especially if you're post pubescent, and quite frankly,
no one prepubescent. Really, kids shouldn't be making this decision.
You're you have the all the biological effects of being
(33:02):
a male, which there is a difference, you know, I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Good and bad by the way, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But when it comes to the physical traits. Serena Williams
is the greatest female athlete ever and and one of
the top athletes of all time. But you know when
she sat there and said, yeah, I would get smoked
in straight sex sets by you know, my male counterparts,
you have to know that there's a difference.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, she's not putting down her entire gender. She's just
speaking honestly about something that for the most part, well
basically kind of know. And I'll tell you this right now,
Like I love it when like idiot sports guys or
just idiot guys in general say something as stupid as, oh,
I could beat Serena Williams in a tennis match because
I'm a guy. Bubba ba No, no, you couldn't. Joe Schlub, No,
(33:52):
you couldn't. You know Andy Roddick, Yeah, he probably could.
Pete Sampras would probably beat you know, the will him sisters.
I'm not. No, I'm not gonna beat I'm not going
to beat the lowest seed tennis player in the world.
On the female side, I'm not. And so there are
exceptions to these rules. But at the end of the day,
(34:13):
when you're you know, talking about elite versus non and
just male versus female, come on, common sense. Common sense
can still be a thing without it being against somebody's thing.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Sorry, but yeah, I saw you know, and the woman
who has now been declared champion.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Uh yeah, she walked off the podium.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
After this because and she was she was you could tell,
just absolutely kind of disgusted. And you know, they worked
their ass off for this and then all of a
sudden you get outdone by someone who has a biological.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I just drive, yeah, thank.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
You, you mean it, because look and this is the
side of the show that we have to bring up
because this is this is what we do. We'll talk
about something kind of seriously, but then we have to
bring our own twist to stupid on it. And that's
what we're going to do here because I have these
thoughts and I'm sure other people do as well. When
you hear about a story like this where the World's
Strongest Woman wins, where the person that won the World's
(35:21):
Strongest Woman competition is a man, how'd they do that?
Has this person who was born a male that competed
in the female division of the World's Strongest Man? Have
they gone through the complete change? Has has the wiener
been extracted or is it still there?
Speaker 5 (35:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I don't know if you know how closely they're checking,
are they giving are they giving physicals before they lift
weights on stage? But I know in these events they're extremely,
extremely difficult, and I just wonder, like some of these athletes,
like how do you keep it contained if you're not
full switched like when you do Like one of these
(36:04):
events in this competition was a log lift press, which
is basically I think it's like a like a clean
and jerk type of thing, And so you're picking up
the log like a dead lift, and then you're kind
of snatching it onto your thighs, and then you're standing
up and then pressing it over your head. How do
you keep your from flopping out at some point during
(36:24):
that heavy lift?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
You never saw ace Ventura.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
That's a hell of a ton of tray. Neither Einhorn
nor Pinkle. We're doing snatching cleans during the movie, basically
just walking around.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Really tight legged gut tape.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Then that needs to be the next rog Man sponsor,
because holy that's some good tape.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
It works for NASA.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
If it works for NASA, it'll keep your in place.
It's perfect marketing for all things Treehouse.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trade Trenholme and Raj Sharma. Today is Wednesday, April thirtieth,
two thousand five. On today's show, everyone talks about the
most popular baby names. Well, Trey has dug up some
(01:08):
of the rarest baby names and awesomely the worst busines
escape you've ever heard of. That's today inside the Treehouse
and we start yay with this. All right, guys, need
(01:31):
you to pay clodstension here. This headline goes hard, so
I need you to brace yourselves. The San Antonio funeral
home mogul named Dick Pips is taking firms and against
his hoa. That's like the headline straight out of the
(01:53):
Onion or the Abalon Tree. But no, no, this is
a San Antonio Express news, an actual behind a paywall
news outlet. So some of the information I have in
this story is dark or murky. But can you believe
(02:16):
Dick Tips woke up one morning wooden hand and said,
I'm gonna build a funeral home empire. Very impressive. His
very full name is Robert Tips. Dick is his nickname,
and he's taking his h away head on.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Now.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I don't know a lot about white people nicknames, but is.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
It Robert, Bob and Richard Dick?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yes, okay, so he picked I'm gonna say it, he
picked Dick.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well, we don't know that Dick may have been thrust
upon him.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
You know, and he's an adult. At any point you
can change it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah you can. You can say no, yeah too, that naps.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
I just want to know, like if they're being invited
to dinner and it's like, you know, you know, it's
a it's another couple, Like, hey, so who are we inviting?
You know, It's like we'll invite a few people. It's
like no, no, just invite you know, just just the tips.
We wanted to be intimate evenings, just us and the tips.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Look, if you didn't need more evidence that we're all
extremely childish in here for middle aged men. YEP, exhibits A, B,
and C. But this is an actual story, believe it
or not. A funeral home mogul Robert Dick Tips is
(03:49):
taking a San Antonio homeowners association to court over its
removal of a billboard from property he owns. Mister Tips
is the chairman and cee of Mission Park Funeral Chapels
and Cemeteries, and he alleges one or more persons believed
to have been acting on behalf of, or in conspiracy with,
the Coronado Enclave Homeowners Association went on to his property
(04:13):
and unlawfully removed a sign while mister Dick Tips doesn't
know who trespassed to remove the billboard. He says, the
association and one of the five individuals and one of
the five individual defendants are likely to have knowledge about
what happened to it. So here we have a big
(04:35):
conspiracy against mister Dick Tips. Look, I realized that career
day in school there wasn't a funeral director in attendance
to talk to us about the profession, let alone becoming
(04:59):
a mogul in the industry. Maybe because they saw his
name and wouldn't let him in the school. I don't know,
but I will say this, if you really want to
get in the head, damn it screw up on punchline,
But I will say this, if you really want to
(05:19):
get ahead in life, I suggest cozying ut to Dick
Tips Dick Tip's funeral home.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know Dick had another business too, what's up? During
COVID H he also became a meltman and uh yeah,
he had to figure out how to buy three thousand
gallons of melt. But then once he secured the load,
(05:56):
he printed a truck and bought it from Tyler to
San Antonio, drove it home.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Then he took it to the streets.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
There's times I'm wondering if Troy started drinking again.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
That's just how much the tree, That's just how much
fun the tree, howse show is. It'll make your question,
It'll make your question a sober man, sobriety.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Just y'all think I'm making that Uphell.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
The link actually sounds very familiar.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Oh you're not kidding. No, I apology.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
My poor memory. I thought it sounded familiar like some
other news story that we had talked about that I
was having a hard time connecting the dots. But I
didn't want to be the only person to say I
don't get it. But now I do because you sent
the link.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Thank you, trem It became a milkman.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
From from services to food delivery. How Dick Tips became
San Antonio's new milkman. Today's going to be so good?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
In a story that I'm sure is going to rock
the Treehouse to its core. Conjoined twins Carmen and Lipita
have lived their entire lives connected at the Torso, but
in twenty twenty four, Carmen made headlines when she married
her longtime boyfriend Daniel. The twist. Loupita, who shares organs
(09:58):
with her conjoined sister, made it clear she's not in
the relationship and still considers herself single. So you know,
if you're looking, Lupita is still single.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Are you guys? Okay? Now, how conjoined are they?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And where at the Torso Torso?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
At the Torso So it's it's the chest. They're they're
they're they're they're connected at the chest and they share organs.
One of them got married last year, but the other
one swears no, no, no, I am still single and
ready to mingle.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
The couple slash trio say they have found a dynamic
that works and refuse to let outsiders define what's normal.
Carmen calls it love, Lupita calls it independence. Online it
sparked a global conversation about consent, identity, and what it
really means to share your life with some one.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, okay that how do you do that? Like?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
I need to talk to this Daniel guy.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
It's a good it's a good question to have. I'm
with you that a lot have it, which is how.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
I mean it's an easy, I guess easy threesome. There's
too many jokes here. That's the wrong it is. But
here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I feel like this is a genie and a bottle
granting wishes that have gone awry, Like like a guy
finds the genie in the sand, or find a guy
finds a bottle and he rubs the lamp. That's what it's. Sorry,
guy finds the lamp and he rubs it. Jeanie pops
out and says, I'm gonna give you three wishes, and
one of the first ones the guy says, I want
two checks at the same time, and the genie says, okay,
(11:55):
But you probably should have tailored your question a little
more carefully because I'm gonna throw you at crackball. Are
you not pleased there's two of them here? Sure they're
connected at the chest. What happens if what's the Lupita
h Carmen and Lupita?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
What happens if Lupita decides to go through a slutty phase?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Good for Daniel? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
That's that's cheap, I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I saw the on what was it TLC or something
that the other girls that I have the two heads
or whatever it is, and they finish their own sentences.
It's so weird, like I can't even imagine. And they're married,
so I can't imagine how that works.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I really don't know either. It's just really I mean,
we all have questions, and I really feel like we
all are wondering the same thing.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I mean, if one of them gets pregnant, do you
know who the father is?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I'd have more questions if you didn't.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I mean, if they you know, had a wild night.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
What.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, there's a lot of questions.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Maybe you're right. I really don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yeah, they're good looking.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I mean, I'm gonna show you I think I found
a photo hear me, so I can show this to
you guys. Maybe just a second here. Uh So they
are connected at the torso they have two heads, but
outside of that, every all the other appendages seem to
be quote unquote normal. They got two arms, two legs,
(14:04):
So I'm I'm guessing the downstairs area is a shared space.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I don't know. I mean, do you do you do
you have to, like, you know, put it on your
calendar like they do. They they have.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
A like a a Google calendar for their privates.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You know, who gets time?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh that's a good question. Well not only that, but
when it comes time, you know, for the one that's
married to the guy, when it's time for them to
be romantic with one another, the other one claims independence
and is not a part of it. So then do
you just like cover her with a sheet? I mean what,
I don't I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I mean, I mean, if you do a really good job,
do they both scream?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Who makes that top?
Speaker 7 (14:57):
That's all I'm looking at.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I think that's that's Grandma. That's that's Grandma was Jesus.
She's met. That's that's custom. That's called the spoke.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
That's a really niche audience.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It really is, it really is. Yeah. But I will
say this, I'm happy that Daniel and which oneman is
it Carmen the one that he married?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Uh yeah, Loupita is the one that is single. Carmen
is married.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Doggie style has got to be really awkward.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
One who do you walk out on in the morning,
you guys, I mean, there's what if the single one
wants to sabbat?
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Who's the single one?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I think it's the one on the right, I really do.
I think it's the one on the right.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Since then at a bar you want to talk to
the one on the right.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Well, at some point, I'm curious. I'm curious how how
they all met, because Daniel and Carmen had are now married,
at some point had to meet, and at some point
someone had to say that they were interested or not,
Like Daniel approaches them as like hi does does Lupitia
(16:41):
immediately say no? And Carmen's like yes.
Speaker 11 (16:45):
I guess they said at a corner, hey, can I
talk to your sister? Where she ad that's not a question.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, I want to know the origin story. I want
to know how they met.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Yeah, and they won't disclose.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
They're like, it's not you know, we don't just you know,
whatever's normal as normal whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
But you say that, but eventually Lupita is gonna go.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Off. What if one of them's a lesbian? What do
you do then?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Well, then Daniel says, that's the second wish that came to.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Days ago, Eonline gave us an update about Carmen and
Lupita Andrade, the conjoined twins, one of which Carmen recently
announced she married twenty eight year old Daniel McCormick. In
the fallout from that matrimony, Lupita, the other sister, swears
she is single and is independent of their relationship and
(17:56):
of their marriage. That being said, when it was time
for a family vacation, they obviously went together because they're
joined at the torso. But two weeks after the TikToker,
who is a conjoined twin with sister Lupita, Carmen announced
that she and husband Daniel McCormick tied the knot, and
(18:17):
she shared a glimpse into their first summer together as
a married couple and her July twenty fourth Instagram post,
the twenty five year old twins enjoyed a relaxing canoe
ride on a lake and their parents also tagged along.
Carmen included a sweet photo of their dad smiling as
he paddled the boat and Daniel, the husband, fishing as
she described the outing last minute late evening con Lafamilia.
(18:40):
True to their love of nature, Carmen and Daniel had
been spending a lot of time together outside. In fact,
the duo who met on Hinge in twenty twenty. That's
when Hinge is more than the name.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, on a boat, I mean they'd be handy on
a boat.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
They've got three to sixty look, but that is that'd
be awkward if they were both on you know, online
dating profiles, you know, and you swiped right on one,
left on the other, you got conjoined.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Fished probably, I mean they are they are, you know, twins,
but they they do look a little different, so yeah,
they're not. They're not identical.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Yeah, that's the issue.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
They have a good side.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
They so there at least we have a little more
info into the backstory of their relationship. They met on
hinge h in twenty twenty. The rest of their romantic
trip or I'm sorry. As for their most romantic trip,
the couple exchanged their vals at the Lover's Leap Bridge
in New Milford, Connecticut, last October. They later gushed over
(20:03):
the experience on the Twins YouTube channel, noting the ceremony
was a small get together with just local family.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Well, there's just lovers Leap?
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Is that what it was called.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
It's a very well known bridge in the area.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Okay, I was gonna say, if you jump, one's not
gonna want to go.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
That's why they call it the Lover's Leap, and not
to conjoin twins Leap because one's still hanging on.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yep. That first dance had to be really awkward.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
It's funny you mentioned that because I believe there was
another couple that this happened. I need to check to
see if this is a different couple or if in
fact actually was the same couple. But uh, there was
a couple that went viral on their first dance. It's
the guy dancing with his wife and her sister that's
conjoined to her is just kind of there. It might
(21:11):
have been this, It might have been these people.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Be you asked to cut in.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
H do they do they receive that question the same way?
Or they think that you're offering your services as a surgeon?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean if they line, if they line dance,
there's gotta be some great choreography there.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
They each learn half the steps the wobble.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Dar.

I have lost my place because I was trying to
remember where I wanted to start today because there's so
much good stuff the news. Let's start with this. A
school bus driver allegedly drove students while drunk, but he
says that's not true because the smell of alcohol on
his breath was actually Nike Will, old school Nike Will. Huh.
(23:41):
I'm not driving your kids drunk around town on a
school bus. I've just effed up on Nike Will.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Just spy.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
How dare you accuse me of something so terrible? I've
been driving these kids around, you know, for years, and
you're gonna that one just actually kicked me right in
the gut. Surprisingly, this was not Florida. This is Maple Lake, Minnesota.
(24:11):
The school bus driver allegedly drove his students to school
while intoxicated, later telling the police the alcohol the students
smelled on him was from niquil. According to documents obtained
by a local outlet, school resource officer for Maple Lake
Schools was notified by his student that their bus driver
smelled like alcohol. I would like to I hope that
they said bus driver smells like mommy.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I really do think that's got to be.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The second visit you make is if you know how
old did it say how all these kids are elementary?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
The officer contacted the bus company to do charging documents.
Multiple students, multiple students under the age of sixteen. Didn't
say how many students. So you're.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
If you're a kid, and you know what alcohol smells like.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Through breath, like not just whiffing it out the top
of the bottle, but mixed in with you know, human biology.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, if you can go, oh, Jack Daniel, single barrel.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
The bus driver smells like my mom Stanley or dad
or dad at football practice. Yeah, it's a bit of
a hint there. So he's in trouble. He's probably not
going to be driving kids around anymore, if ever ever again.
(25:44):
A woman filed for divorce because her husband decided he
was Batman. I tell you you, you show me a
man with a dream, and I'll show you a woman
who wants to squash it. The first month of married
life for this couple went smoothly, but then the husband
started acting completely unhinged. Unhinged he would regularly roam the
(26:09):
house in a Batman costume, force his wife to watch
Batman movies, insist on being called Bruce Wayne, and disappear
at night whenever he saw lights in the sky that
he believed were the bat signal. The last straw came
when the woman woke up in the middle of the
night to find her husband in a Batman suit, standing
in the dark and speaking in a deep, brooding voice.
(26:32):
After that, she packed her things, went to her parents' house,
and filed for divorce. I say for richer, for poorer,
sickness and in health. Meet his superhero energy with your own.
He's Batman, you'd be wonder woman.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
At least she didn't file assault charges on him.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Me.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That may be the best double on hundred joke slash
punchline in the history of this program. And I am
including every iteration of it, Sir, I am, I am
shook right, Damn. Look, I don't know you know how
(27:33):
they say that, Oh, I bet so and so is
rolling over in their grave. Well I don't think you
can roll over in your grave if you've been cremated.
But I would like to think somewhere in a tube
six feet beneath the surface of a cemetery in Garland, Texas,
a little.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Just occurred.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Me.
Speaker 5 (27:58):

Speaker 3 (28:00):
All I want to do now is stop the show,
go back and pull the audio and just listen to
it for the rest of the day, maybe the rest
of Black Friday, maybe the whole weekend.

All right, well done.

to you. If I was wearing a cowl, I would

(28:47):
Woman is a man.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
It's a man.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That ain't no woman.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
It's a man man.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I love twenty twenty five. I know things like this
shouldn't make my heart happy, but they kind of do.
Jammy Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the
competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington
over the weekend. The Official Games took place number twenty
(29:24):
through twenty third in Arlington, featured hundreds of athletes across
multiple divisions and competitions, with one of the biggest ones
being the twenty twenty five World Strongest Woman. Jammy Booker,
an alleged transgender athlete, was the one who came out
on top. However, Jammy was disqualified after the competition, making
Andrea Thompson the overall champion because it turns out Jammy
(29:49):
was born a man and In the rules and regulations
for the competition, it expressly states you have to compete
with the gender of your birth. I know this is
a hot topic in the world nowadays, and for some reason,
this is you know, split along political ideologies, like everything
(30:09):
seems to be these days. I have a simple solution,
and please, Tray Jerry tell me if this is half cocked.
You've got the male division, you've got the female division.
And the controversy in these competitions arises when you've got
someone that was a man at some point, or was
born a man, transitions or is in the process of transitioning,
(30:33):
and then competes in the woman's side and just destroys
all the female competitors to take the top spot.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I don't think there's any examples of a female's you know,
switching sides and dominating the men, at least not in
competitive sports. Can we just have a third category, just
have the trans category and let the trans athlete compete
against themselves. And if you know what, because and here's
the other thing to keep in mind across the world
(31:01):
and competitions that happen every single day, the number of
trans athletes competing in the opposite division of their birth
is extremely small. So if you create a trans division
for these competitions, you may have absolutely zero people in it,
or you may have one. But at least that's the spot.
(31:24):
I feel like that's a compromise. It's a solution for everybody,
and we can get back to debating things that truly matter,
and that is whether or not to wear crocs on
an airline.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
That has been proposed and soundly rejected by the trans community.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Because they don't want to be seen as something other
than what they're wanting to be. Yes, well, I mean
at a certain point you just got to face reality.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Well, I think everyone is entitled to be happy. And
I can't even imagine what it's like to be born
and not feel comfortable in your own skin and feel
like you want to be someone else.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
And but one of.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
The things and quite frankly, it's really one of the
things that is now, especially in the LGBT community, there
has been a trend of you know, because most most
trans people want to blend in, They want to be
seen as normal, not and and I think this is
(32:25):
an unfortunate deal of our age of the time we
live in that there are a lot of people who
want attention, but toss out the big One of the
biggest bullshit things of the last ten years was the
notion that there is no difference between sexes.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yes, there is. Everyone knows it absolutely.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
And to say that, you know, oh, you know, you
grow you grow up as you know, a biological male,
and then you decide to switch, well, you still have
the benefits, especially if you're post pubescent, and quite frankly,
no one prepubescent. Really, kids shouldn't be making this decision.
You're you have the all the biological effects of being
(33:02):
a male, which there is a difference, you know, I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Good and bad by the way, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But when it comes to the physical traits. Serena Williams
is the greatest female athlete ever and and one of
the top athletes of all time. But you know when
she sat there and said, yeah, I would get smoked
in straight sex sets by you know, my male counterparts,
you have to know that there's a difference.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, she's not putting down her entire gender. She's just
speaking honestly about something that for the most part, well
basically kind of know. And I'll tell you this right now,
Like I love it when like idiot sports guys or
just idiot guys in general say something as stupid as, oh,
I could beat Serena Williams in a tennis match because
I'm a guy. Bubba ba No, no, you couldn't. Joe Schlub, No,
(33:52):
you couldn't. You know Andy Roddick, Yeah, he probably could.
Pete Sampras would probably beat you know, the will him sisters.
I'm not. No, I'm not gonna beat I'm not going
to beat the lowest seed tennis player in the world.
On the female side, I'm not. And so there are
exceptions to these rules. But at the end of the day,
(34:13):
when you're you know, talking about elite versus non and
just male versus female, come on, common sense. Common sense
can still be a thing without it being against somebody's thing.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Sorry, but yeah, I saw you know, and the woman
who has now been declared champion.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Uh yeah, she walked off the podium.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
After this because and she was she was you could tell,
just absolutely kind of disgusted. And you know, they worked
their ass off for this and then all of a
sudden you get outdone by someone who has a biological.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I just drive, yeah, thank.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
You, you mean it, because look and this is the
side of the show that we have to bring up
because this is this is what we do. We'll talk
about something kind of seriously, but then we have to
bring our own twist to stupid on it. And that's
what we're going to do here because I have these
thoughts and I'm sure other people do as well. When
you hear about a story like this where the World's
Strongest Woman wins, where the person that won the World's
(35:21):
Strongest Woman competition is a man, how'd they do that?
Has this person who was born a male that competed
in the female division of the World's Strongest Man? Have
they gone through the complete change? Has has the wiener
been extracted or is it still there?
Speaker 5 (35:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I don't know if you know how closely they're checking,
are they giving are they giving physicals before they lift
weights on stage? But I know in these events they're extremely,
extremely difficult, and I just wonder, like some of these athletes,
like how do you keep it contained if you're not
full switched like when you do Like one of these
(36:04):
events in this competition was a log lift press, which
is basically I think it's like a like a clean
and jerk type of thing, And so you're picking up
the log like a dead lift, and then you're kind
of snatching it onto your thighs, and then you're standing
up and then pressing it over your head. How do
you keep your from flopping out at some point during
(36:24):
that heavy lift?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
You never saw ace Ventura.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
That's a hell of a ton of tray. Neither Einhorn
nor Pinkle. We're doing snatching cleans during the movie, basically
just walking around.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Really tight legged gut tape.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Then that needs to be the next rog Man sponsor,
because holy that's some good tape.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
It works for NASA.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
If it works for NASA, it'll keep your in place.
It's perfect marketing for all things Treehouse.
