Speaker 2 (00:19):
It is time to believe your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma coming up today. Good Gift
or Bad Gift is Trey all of a sudden an optimist.
(00:42):
But first we will start with an actually interesting to
good year in review. This time of year is littered
with year in review lists and stories and research and
data and blah blah blah blah blah, and most of
it's dumb and stupid and it sucks. However, when pornhub
(01:05):
releases some of its year in review, I leaned a
little bit. I'm curious because while they haven't gone so
far as doing a wrapped the way Spotify does, they
are releasing some year in review information. Horn Hub released
its annual year in Review report revealing women are tuning
(01:28):
into X rated videos at record rates, which is a
really good headline because the record rate is it's not
that astounding, it's it's a new record because it's more
than it was last year, which was already a record
and kind of like each subsequent year. It's just like
you're breaking they're breaking their own record. Overall, it appears
(01:50):
there is a one and a half percent proportional growth
in the year twenty twenty five when it comes to
women consuming adult content online, a one and a half
percent increase year over a year. So congratulations to the ladies.
(02:11):
By the way, if you're curious which countries lead the way,
Philippines sixty four percent proportion of female visitors on porn
hub to thirty six percent of men. I just think
that all the other dudes got good VPN access and
therefore Philippines is not getting the credit. Still surprising number
(02:34):
sixty four percent in the Philippines fifty six percent, in Colombia,
Argentina fifty six percent, Mexico forty eight, Chile forty six,
Ukraine out of nowhere with forty six despite being in
the middle of a war. Some of the ladies are
finding time and then back to back to South America
(02:57):
Peru forty four percent, Brazil thirty eight, the United States
all the way down at twenty eight percent, which is
a one percent increase. You're over a year, it's there.
You have it. The porn hub Urine review. The ladies
aren't just flicking, they're clicking.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It seems like a heavy dose of Latin America, very heavy,
very surprising.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Is gonna sound crude, and I don't really mean it
that way. I don't mean it in a mean way.
It's just a general curiosity. Some of these countries did date.
Some of the areas of these countries not have internet
access over the last year or previous years. Maybe that's
part of the reason for the surge.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, or their cellular services imprisoned enough where like they're
four G, five G whatever that.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, And that's why I say it's an honest since
your question not meaning to be a slam for other
countries that you know, don't have this certain infrastructure that
we do in the States when it comes to internet
phone service and therefore having access to the copious amounts
of adult content. So maybe they're just going crazy because
(04:17):
they got a new cell phone.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It doesn't surprise me. Like the last few relationships I
was in, it was just kind of brought up, like
you want to watch you want to watch some porn.
I'm like, we can do that, uh, And it was
it was brought up by them. It wasn't even like
they caught me doing something. It was like, hey, this
is kind of what I kind of like this, and
(04:39):
I'm like cool, let's and I'm not here to judge.
I'm here to help facilitate your joy in any way.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know. That is you, Raj a deliverer of joy,
That's what I like to say. So in those instances that, uh,
that content served as sort of inspir content, yeah, or
in some cases maybe aspirational. I meant that both ways.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Which I was impressed by. I'm like cool. I mean,
it's out in the open, nobody's hiding anything about, you know,
like sneaking around trying to do anything stupid like that,
And it was cool, and I'm like, all right, so
if we want to we can just do this together.
That'd be great. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I mean that is probably the great way to introduce
something to your partner is to be like, Okay, I
just want to show you something and just want to
know what you think, because this is something I might
be into if you are, and as opposed to are
you into gaping? Like, just asking the question out right
can be a little jarring, how do you feel about
(05:46):
my fist?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So that might be the gentler way to introduce certain
things into the bedroom is sort of be a third
party as opposed to the direct, very blunt question.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, and I like it. I find it liberating. You
know that women are cool enough now in this day
and age to be like, hey, this is what i'm
into and that's what I like to watch. So are
you cool with that? Like, I mean, twenty years ago,
I didn't see that happening.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, it's also interesting because I i'd be wondering is
there a setup in this? And what I mean is
if she was to say, oh, you know, I'm kind
of into this, They're like, okay, well I'm not black,
so I'm not really sure how.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Who's that guy in the corner, but he's black, like.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Red, real dark. I didn't know it was there. But yeah,
it all has to do with it and how you
introduce certain things I guess into the relationship. So that's
look at look at this that I want to show
you is probably safer a way to go than i'd
like you to meet Tyrone. Yeah, Reggie.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
And his three brothers and like do I need to
be here?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yes, it's all part of it. I'd need you crying
at the corner. It pulls it all together.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No, my dog wasn't really passing gas.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
So yeah, and this and and you're right, Roger, this
is not a new thing. This has been a year.
Over a year. More and more women are being more
open about it, being like, yeah, I'm into some adult stuff.
And there's even more and more female oriented adult content.
It used to be back in the day that it
was all male centered and the women were stars and
(08:00):
they made lots of money. But they finally jumped into
the production side of it, a bunch of the female
stars did, where they then started their own production companies.
They started directing and producing and taking over the industry,
which is really theirs should have been theirs in the
first place, because it's kind of all built around them.
(08:24):
So now you have more like female content for females. Yeah,
Tray got excited. Now, keep in mind, just because women
at a one and a half percent year over year
growth when it comes to consuming adult content around the
world doesn't mean the guys have stopped. In fact, it's
(08:49):
kind of gotten worse in some regard, especially in our
great state of Texas. The cities of Houston, Dallas, and
Austin are among Texas cities spending major dollars on only fans. Really, yeah,
Americans overall spent two point six billion dollars on only
(09:10):
fans in twenty twenty six, something like fifty sixty seventy five.
Uh wait, what did I say twenty twenty six, Yes,
twenty twenty five. Sorry, I'm pulling this from Fox twenty
six in Houston. Yeah, Americans spent over two point six
billion dollars on only fans in twenty twenty five. And
(09:32):
I don't know, fifty sixty seventy million to that is
just from that Sophie rain girl. Anyway, that number makes
the United States the top spending country by a significant margin. Interesting, USA,
Now you know why the bald eagle is scowling.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, a lot of that isn't subscriptions per se. It's
basically guys hanging for time, like private time with those girls.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Mm hmm. Yeah. Now so these Americans, Oh, it's interesting, Okay, Yeah, Americans.
And like I said, two point six billion, But two
major cities, Houston and Dallas, ranked among the top twenty
cities globally in total spending on only fans. Dallas spent
twenty six million dollars, Houston a little bit more at
(10:27):
thirty two million dollars. Austin was bringing up the rear
at seventeen and a half million, but all three made
the top twenty spending cities across North and South America.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
That is interesting, Okay. I thought it was just like
pictures and am I wrong? Pictures and videos and stuff
like that that they post. I didn't know you could
actually like message somebody and like you could get total Yeah.
I didn't know that was the thing. Okay, good on them.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, And that's where and that's where a lot of
the guys that are spending money on only fans need
to maybe they don't care, need to realize that a
lot of the times, the person that they think they're
chatting with is not the person they're chatting with. A
lot of times it's another dude. Really, because some of
these only fans models, they'll be filming and doing their
(11:17):
content right, they'll be doing ungodly things in front of
a you know, three or four ring lights. So when
you're in the middle of doing that, you don't necessarily
have time to always pop in the chat and chat with,
you know, Kevin. So that's where you would hire someone
(11:37):
to do that for you. And a lot of times
it's it's it's a dude, because dudes know how to
talk to other dudes.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Some of them basically, you know, they got guys have
become their sugar daddies.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And then it's.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'd say a bridged escorting. But that's I mean for
some of them, that's kind of what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's digital escorting.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
None of them turns into real life.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
No, no, no, I know, I'm just saying, but it's
it's definitely digital escorting, and they can move over into
the real world.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
But the top why the outer stuff?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh sure?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Oh interesting, okay, book, I mean, hey, making money? When
are you making money?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah? The top twenty cities with the highest total spend
on only fans here we go at twenty is Helsinki, Finland.
I just love saying that name. Nineteen is Singapore, eighteen
is Santiago, Chile, Chiles really into built stuff, seventeen Madrid, Spain,
sixteen Rome. They put Italy on there just just so
(12:39):
you don't mistake it. For you know, Texas fifteen is Dallas, fourteen,
Atlanta thirteen, Bangkok, twelve is Toronto, eleven is Houston, Paris
at ten, Mexico City at nine, Brisbane Australia or is
it Brisbane? That's at eight right in front of it
is a sister city Melbourne seven, Chicago is six, Sydney
(13:02):
is five. Man Australia's got three in the top ten.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Dirty Aussies.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, four is Milan, three is London, two is Los
Angeles and number one no surprise here, spending eighty seven
million dollars on only fans last year New York City.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
All right, go big Apple.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So there's our year in review for the adult industry. Now,

residents of Dallas on only fans, let's take a quick
and be honest survey inside the Treehouse. How much money

(16:28):
you told me something recently and I'm still processing it.
So let's let's let's dig into this a little bit.
I'm I'm I am intrigued anytime you tell me I
really think this will this one will work. And I
say that because you've never told me that in regards
(16:50):
to your new relationship. You said, I really think this
one might work.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
It definitely has a chance.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Because all others know.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
This.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, yeah, this is Tray the optimist.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
When I look back on previous relationships, I can pinpoint
things very early on in the relationship that should have
let me know this one is not going to work.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Oh yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I can appreciate that. You'll go back and analyze the
relationship the way you know an athlete does, like a
football player does, go back and watch game till and be.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Like, yeah, there it is all. I had one. I
had one, like I knew the minute happened. I was like,
let's just let this run through. When I knew the
minute happened, I was living in Los Angeles and I
flew out and I talk about this on stage. I
flew out to LA and she got in the car
and I was like, uh, you know, you go you're tired.
She's like no, I'm fine. I was like, do you
(17:53):
want to go in? You know you don't want to
stay in and you want to go out? And then
I asked her this ago was your flight full? And
she respond did at takeoff? And I was like, yep,
this is over, this is this is finished.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Have you been on many flights where it filled up midway?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Was the guy sitting next to you like, do you
think we're over Denver?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You get a mid air connection and a bunch of
new people hopped on.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
A direct flight.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
No, they just it's so pretty all.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Right, Trey, I you've you've absolutely got my attention. What
is it about this relationship? What happened recently that has
you thinking that this one has a chance of making it?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, we talked about this, I think it was last
week of you it's it better to love the same
things or hate the same things. And she and I
have have a good We kind of disliked the same things.
But the other day she she had been to like
family function and came back and and was I could
(19:08):
tell something was bothering her. And she said, you know,
she started with my mother and I go say.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Less.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Springing girl a little bit.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I no one can relate more to just those two words.
My mother got it.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I'm surprising. Response was I know mine too, No explanation needed.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, Trey is experiencing his own METWO movement, shared trauma
with mom. Uh so that was it?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Just I mean, and I don't mean that's it, Like
it's not a big one that is a big one
because that that that shared.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Well trauma.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah yeah, it goes a long way.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I mean there's a level of relatability there that you
can have with somebody else. That is, you can't fully
explain it. You just got to be there to know it.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Well.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's hard, especially if someone has a functional and positive
and good relationship with their parents and they don't understand why, yeah,
how it could be otherwise.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Then it makes things difficult.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
And they have to see things firsthand that a lot
of times you don't really want them to see.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah. Yeah, it would be very difficult if you were to.
And I'm sure you've been because you've been in relationships.
I mean, you're fifty one year old man. I am
sure that you've had relationships with women who had good
relationships with their moms and there is a disconnect there
because she can't relate to you on that level and
you can't relate to her on that level because it
(21:02):
is just polar opposites and there's no way without I
don't I don't know how you find middle ground on
that scenario because I don't think for someone that has
a truly positive, loving everything positive relationship with their mama
is going to understand where you're coming from with yours, Drey, No, No.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I mean there are things that Thank God my stepmother
is still around because she's the only person who can
really validate some of the things I say, because otherwise
you would think I'm crazy. No one could act like
no mother could act like that until I go but
(21:49):
here you go.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
There it is right there there.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't know if I'm at an advantage in this,
Like my girlfriend gets along famously with her family, like
they like each other, very strange. And both my parents
have passed, so I don't have like there's no reference point,
Like I get to witness that, and I'm like, oh,
that's kind of cool. So I get to see that,
but I don't have a reference point anymore because it's
(22:19):
been so long since my parents both passed away.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, and then with you, because you had you had
a troubled relationship with your mom, but you guys, uh,
Salvage did and you guys ended up with a great relationship.
And yeah, and I'm glad for you for that. Uh,
that is not Trey's journey. And we were watching Tara
(22:42):
and I were watching the first couple episodes of the
Taylor Swift documentary that just came out, And in one
of them, what really really, Trey, I was just singing
your praise is about being Cray the Optimist and I
you're gonna dog on me for watching the Taylor Swift
The End of Virus.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Yeah, I'm glad he did it before I could.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Anyway. So one of her dancers is.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Wisdom.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
One of the segments of the documentary, one of her
dancers is having this conversation with his mom and he's
talking about how great she was and he and his
brother growing up. Uh, his brother went on to play
defensive line for the Kansas City Chiefs and he's a
dancer on Taylor Swift's tour. And it's just the relationship
between him and his mom and it was so sweet
and loving and he's like, you sacrifice so much and
(23:40):
I love you and she's like, I love you too, baby,
and all this it was just great. And and you're
I'm watching and going like, man, that looks nice.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Yeah, which which part dan.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
The part about being a dancer on Taylor Swift's tour.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yeah, I was gonna say the same. I'll embrace it.
I'm glad that you're comfortable in your own skin and
you know you can talk about it and uh see.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
You guys are saying the right things. But it still
makes me want to say you to both of you
because because I hear the tone and I see your faces.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Oh don't we don't judge here. We love and and
will always be here to love you.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
No, you love to judge. That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I mean, what a what a wonderful way to spend
your time is I mean, now, does it get into
their she and Travis's relationship?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I mean not in the first two episodes, Oh okay,
but later on I'm sure it will.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Now when you're watching that, does Tara have your ball
her hands?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Does she? Is she rotating him around? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I would like No, I would like to break a
couple of barriers here.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
David Bowie Labyrinth.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It is okay to be a man, a straight man,
and be a fan of Taylor Swift. It is one okay.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
You're to be a fan.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Absolutely, yeah. I think she says so as well.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
So you have that, So why why why would me
watching the documentary make me less of a man?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Tree?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Because you're watching the documentary, you're actually spending time. It's
not being a fan of the music. It's one thing. Yeah,
you want to you want to shake it off, go ahead,
But when you're actually going to devote hours of your
time to a documentary, then you know, I think I
think eyebrow these questions.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
You know form.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Okay, you, sir, should not be casting stones from your
translucent mansion, because aren't you the one that's watched documentaries
are about OCTOPI?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Okay, yet nature documentaries, Dan, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Why is that so? Why is that better than a
documentary about people?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Huh, Well, it's not just people, Dana.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
You know, I watched documentaries about serial kill serial killers,
not tayte I.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Mean yeah, I didn't even know there was a documentary
out about Taylors. You said something, I had no clue.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
All right, Look, I am a little bit of a
closeted SWIFTYE. It's been it's been my journey this year,
and I'm kind of on that path and I'm okay
with it. I really like her music. I've always liked
her music. The documentary side of stuff though, to me
is fascinating because it's the highest grossing tour of all time,
and I don't remember seeing a documentary about whatever the
(28:29):
tour was before it as far as grossing that amount
of money. It was a damn good concert. Watched the
concert last year that came out, and no, it was
on like Disney Plus, so you just watch it home,
and we didn't go to the actual concert. But there
(28:50):
was a genuine curiosity. It's like, okay, by news reports
and everything, the greatest tour of all time. I'm curious
watch it and it's phenomenal curious As someone who grew yeah,
well yeah, curiosity is not a bad thing trick, and
as someone who grew up in a theater family, I'm
also fascinated by the stage production. You two were just
(29:14):
I can't talk you guys. You know what this is
all I have to say to you, guys.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
What's your favorite song by the Swift.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
One of my favorites is long Live Okay?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, that's awesome, man.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Your favorite song.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
The main one? I don't know the name of the song,
but I actually can hear it in my head.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Sure you can?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yeah? How moved? Were you like cats? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Here's the other thing you guys need. I don't need
to justify myself, but I'm going to because I feel
the need to justify myself. In addition to the other stuff,
I'm also fascinated at how she runs her business. Like
from a standpoint, you're talking about so much. She gave
over one hundred and ninety seven million dollars in bonuses
to everyone on her tour. From a million dollar piece,
(30:21):
there was one hundred thousand dollars bonuses at one point
to pretty much everybody, and then others may have gotten
more along the way, like even like one of the
one of the big stories that came out during the
tour was she gave one hundred thousand dollars bonuses to
pretty much everybody, and that includes the truck drivers who
were just hauling stuff around. And I'm fascinated by her
(30:41):
as a business leader. As a.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
He freezes up again.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yep, I wonder what we're getting for our bonuses this year.
I don't think it's one hundred grand.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, I don't think so either, But you know it's
it's fascinating because he could have because I believe she shared,
like all the sales from the merchandise with everyone that
worked on the tour.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
But so does Kenny Chesney. You know, he could have
followed that silence.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
He does the same thing. Yeah, oh that's very cool.
I know kenu Reeves did like all the royalties from
the matrix. I think he gave to the crew, right,
something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I mean, yeah, but yeah, Kenny Chesney has been because
he tours almost non stop.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
So yeah, he takes care of everyone.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
So interesting. Okay, well, good dude.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I like hearing stuff like that. But you know, that's
that's always nice because I mean, they make just such
a grip just off ticket sales and such, so to
see that they'll give that back to the people that
are actually running the show behind the show, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I wonder if I wonder if Tera makes Dan dress
up to watch the show. I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Eyes shadowed, lipstick.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Do you have like a sequent outfit you wear when
you're when you're watching.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
He wig, feather bolo, anything, high heel boots tu say
o Mally.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It is time to believe your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma coming up today. Good Gift
or Bad Gift is Trey all of a sudden an optimist.
(00:42):
But first we will start with an actually interesting to
good year in review. This time of year is littered
with year in review lists and stories and research and
data and blah blah blah blah blah, and most of
it's dumb and stupid and it sucks. However, when pornhub
(01:05):
releases some of its year in review, I leaned a
little bit. I'm curious because while they haven't gone so
far as doing a wrapped the way Spotify does, they
are releasing some year in review information. Horn Hub released
its annual year in Review report revealing women are tuning
(01:28):
into X rated videos at record rates, which is a
really good headline because the record rate is it's not
that astounding, it's it's a new record because it's more
than it was last year, which was already a record
and kind of like each subsequent year. It's just like
you're breaking they're breaking their own record. Overall, it appears
(01:50):
there is a one and a half percent proportional growth
in the year twenty twenty five when it comes to
women consuming adult content online, a one and a half
percent increase year over a year. So congratulations to the ladies.
(02:11):
By the way, if you're curious which countries lead the way,
Philippines sixty four percent proportion of female visitors on porn
hub to thirty six percent of men. I just think
that all the other dudes got good VPN access and
therefore Philippines is not getting the credit. Still surprising number
(02:34):
sixty four percent in the Philippines fifty six percent, in Colombia,
Argentina fifty six percent, Mexico forty eight, Chile forty six,
Ukraine out of nowhere with forty six despite being in
the middle of a war. Some of the ladies are
finding time and then back to back to South America
(02:57):
Peru forty four percent, Brazil thirty eight, the United States
all the way down at twenty eight percent, which is
a one percent increase. You're over a year, it's there.
You have it. The porn hub Urine review. The ladies
aren't just flicking, they're clicking.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It seems like a heavy dose of Latin America, very heavy,
very surprising.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Is gonna sound crude, and I don't really mean it
that way. I don't mean it in a mean way.
It's just a general curiosity. Some of these countries did date.
Some of the areas of these countries not have internet
access over the last year or previous years. Maybe that's
part of the reason for the surge.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, or their cellular services imprisoned enough where like they're
four G, five G whatever that.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, And that's why I say it's an honest since
your question not meaning to be a slam for other
countries that you know, don't have this certain infrastructure that
we do in the States when it comes to internet
phone service and therefore having access to the copious amounts
of adult content. So maybe they're just going crazy because
(04:17):
they got a new cell phone.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It doesn't surprise me. Like the last few relationships I
was in, it was just kind of brought up, like
you want to watch you want to watch some porn.
I'm like, we can do that, uh, And it was
it was brought up by them. It wasn't even like
they caught me doing something. It was like, hey, this
is kind of what I kind of like this, and
(04:39):
I'm like cool, let's and I'm not here to judge.
I'm here to help facilitate your joy in any way.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know. That is you, Raj a deliverer of joy,
That's what I like to say. So in those instances that, uh,
that content served as sort of inspir content, yeah, or
in some cases maybe aspirational. I meant that both ways.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Which I was impressed by. I'm like cool. I mean,
it's out in the open, nobody's hiding anything about, you know,
like sneaking around trying to do anything stupid like that,
And it was cool, and I'm like, all right, so
if we want to we can just do this together.
That'd be great. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I mean that is probably the great way to introduce
something to your partner is to be like, Okay, I
just want to show you something and just want to
know what you think, because this is something I might
be into if you are, and as opposed to are
you into gaping? Like, just asking the question out right
can be a little jarring, how do you feel about
(05:46):
my fist?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So that might be the gentler way to introduce certain
things into the bedroom is sort of be a third
party as opposed to the direct, very blunt question.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, and I like it. I find it liberating. You
know that women are cool enough now in this day
and age to be like, hey, this is what i'm
into and that's what I like to watch. So are
you cool with that? Like, I mean, twenty years ago,
I didn't see that happening.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, it's also interesting because I i'd be wondering is
there a setup in this? And what I mean is
if she was to say, oh, you know, I'm kind
of into this, They're like, okay, well I'm not black,
so I'm not really sure how.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Who's that guy in the corner, but he's black, like.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Red, real dark. I didn't know it was there. But yeah,
it all has to do with it and how you
introduce certain things I guess into the relationship. So that's
look at look at this that I want to show
you is probably safer a way to go than i'd
like you to meet Tyrone. Yeah, Reggie.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
And his three brothers and like do I need to
be here?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yes, it's all part of it. I'd need you crying
at the corner. It pulls it all together.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No, my dog wasn't really passing gas.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
So yeah, and this and and you're right, Roger, this
is not a new thing. This has been a year.
Over a year. More and more women are being more
open about it, being like, yeah, I'm into some adult stuff.
And there's even more and more female oriented adult content.
It used to be back in the day that it
was all male centered and the women were stars and
(08:00):
they made lots of money. But they finally jumped into
the production side of it, a bunch of the female
stars did, where they then started their own production companies.
They started directing and producing and taking over the industry,
which is really theirs should have been theirs in the
first place, because it's kind of all built around them.
(08:24):
So now you have more like female content for females. Yeah,
Tray got excited. Now, keep in mind, just because women
at a one and a half percent year over year
growth when it comes to consuming adult content around the
world doesn't mean the guys have stopped. In fact, it's
(08:49):
kind of gotten worse in some regard, especially in our
great state of Texas. The cities of Houston, Dallas, and
Austin are among Texas cities spending major dollars on only fans. Really, yeah,
Americans overall spent two point six billion dollars on only
(09:10):
fans in twenty twenty six, something like fifty sixty seventy five.
Uh wait, what did I say twenty twenty six, Yes,
twenty twenty five. Sorry, I'm pulling this from Fox twenty
six in Houston. Yeah, Americans spent over two point six
billion dollars on only fans in twenty twenty five. And
(09:32):
I don't know, fifty sixty seventy million to that is
just from that Sophie rain girl. Anyway, that number makes
the United States the top spending country by a significant margin. Interesting, USA,
Now you know why the bald eagle is scowling.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, a lot of that isn't subscriptions per se. It's
basically guys hanging for time, like private time with those girls.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Mm hmm. Yeah. Now so these Americans, Oh, it's interesting, Okay, Yeah, Americans.
And like I said, two point six billion, But two
major cities, Houston and Dallas, ranked among the top twenty
cities globally in total spending on only fans. Dallas spent
twenty six million dollars, Houston a little bit more at
(10:27):
thirty two million dollars. Austin was bringing up the rear
at seventeen and a half million, but all three made
the top twenty spending cities across North and South America.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
That is interesting, Okay. I thought it was just like
pictures and am I wrong? Pictures and videos and stuff
like that that they post. I didn't know you could
actually like message somebody and like you could get total Yeah.
I didn't know that was the thing. Okay, good on them.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, And that's where and that's where a lot of
the guys that are spending money on only fans need
to maybe they don't care, need to realize that a
lot of the times, the person that they think they're
chatting with is not the person they're chatting with. A
lot of times it's another dude. Really, because some of
these only fans models, they'll be filming and doing their
(11:17):
content right, they'll be doing ungodly things in front of
a you know, three or four ring lights. So when
you're in the middle of doing that, you don't necessarily
have time to always pop in the chat and chat with,
you know, Kevin. So that's where you would hire someone
(11:37):
to do that for you. And a lot of times
it's it's it's a dude, because dudes know how to
talk to other dudes.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Some of them basically, you know, they got guys have
become their sugar daddies.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And then it's.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'd say a bridged escorting. But that's I mean for
some of them, that's kind of what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's digital escorting.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
None of them turns into real life.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
No, no, no, I know, I'm just saying, but it's
it's definitely digital escorting, and they can move over into
the real world.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
But the top why the outer stuff?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh sure?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Oh interesting, okay, book, I mean, hey, making money? When
are you making money?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah? The top twenty cities with the highest total spend
on only fans here we go at twenty is Helsinki, Finland.
I just love saying that name. Nineteen is Singapore, eighteen
is Santiago, Chile, Chiles really into built stuff, seventeen Madrid, Spain,
sixteen Rome. They put Italy on there just just so
(12:39):
you don't mistake it. For you know, Texas fifteen is Dallas, fourteen,
Atlanta thirteen, Bangkok, twelve is Toronto, eleven is Houston, Paris
at ten, Mexico City at nine, Brisbane Australia or is
it Brisbane? That's at eight right in front of it
is a sister city Melbourne seven, Chicago is six, Sydney
(13:02):
is five. Man Australia's got three in the top ten.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Dirty Aussies.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, four is Milan, three is London, two is Los
Angeles and number one no surprise here, spending eighty seven
million dollars on only fans last year New York City.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
All right, go big Apple.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So there's our year in review for the adult industry. Now,
now that we've mentioned twenty six million dollars spent by
residents of Dallas on only fans, let's take a quick
and be honest survey inside the Treehouse. How much money

(16:28):
you told me something recently and I'm still processing it.
So let's let's let's dig into this a little bit.
I'm I'm I am intrigued anytime you tell me I
really think this will this one will work. And I
say that because you've never told me that in regards
(16:50):
to your new relationship. You said, I really think this
one might work.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
It definitely has a chance.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Because all others know.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
This.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, yeah, this is Tray the optimist.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
When I look back on previous relationships, I can pinpoint
things very early on in the relationship that should have
let me know this one is not going to work.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Oh yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I can appreciate that. You'll go back and analyze the
relationship the way you know an athlete does, like a
football player does, go back and watch game till and be.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Like, yeah, there it is all. I had one. I
had one, like I knew the minute happened. I was like,
let's just let this run through. When I knew the
minute happened, I was living in Los Angeles and I
flew out and I talk about this on stage. I
flew out to LA and she got in the car
and I was like, uh, you know, you go you're tired.
She's like no, I'm fine. I was like, do you
(17:53):
want to go in? You know you don't want to
stay in and you want to go out? And then
I asked her this ago was your flight full? And
she respond did at takeoff? And I was like, yep,
this is over, this is this is finished.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Have you been on many flights where it filled up midway?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Was the guy sitting next to you like, do you
think we're over Denver?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You get a mid air connection and a bunch of
new people hopped on.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
A direct flight.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
No, they just it's so pretty all.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Right, Trey, I you've you've absolutely got my attention. What
is it about this relationship? What happened recently that has
you thinking that this one has a chance of making it?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, we talked about this, I think it was last
week of you it's it better to love the same
things or hate the same things. And she and I
have have a good We kind of disliked the same things.
But the other day she she had been to like
family function and came back and and was I could
(19:08):
tell something was bothering her. And she said, you know,
she started with my mother and I go say.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Less.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Springing girl a little bit.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I no one can relate more to just those two words.
My mother got it.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I'm surprising. Response was I know mine too, No explanation needed.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, Trey is experiencing his own METWO movement, shared trauma
with mom. Uh so that was it?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Just I mean, and I don't mean that's it, Like
it's not a big one that is a big one
because that that that shared.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Well trauma.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah yeah, it goes a long way.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I mean there's a level of relatability there that you
can have with somebody else. That is, you can't fully
explain it. You just got to be there to know it.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Well.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's hard, especially if someone has a functional and positive
and good relationship with their parents and they don't understand why, yeah,
how it could be otherwise.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Then it makes things difficult.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
And they have to see things firsthand that a lot
of times you don't really want them to see.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah. Yeah, it would be very difficult if you were to.
And I'm sure you've been because you've been in relationships.
I mean, you're fifty one year old man. I am
sure that you've had relationships with women who had good
relationships with their moms and there is a disconnect there
because she can't relate to you on that level and
you can't relate to her on that level because it
(21:02):
is just polar opposites and there's no way without I
don't I don't know how you find middle ground on
that scenario because I don't think for someone that has
a truly positive, loving everything positive relationship with their mama
is going to understand where you're coming from with yours, Drey, No, No.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I mean there are things that Thank God my stepmother
is still around because she's the only person who can
really validate some of the things I say, because otherwise
you would think I'm crazy. No one could act like
no mother could act like that until I go but
(21:49):
here you go.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
There it is right there there.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't know if I'm at an advantage in this,
Like my girlfriend gets along famously with her family, like
they like each other, very strange. And both my parents
have passed, so I don't have like there's no reference point,
Like I get to witness that, and I'm like, oh,
that's kind of cool. So I get to see that,
but I don't have a reference point anymore because it's
(22:19):
been so long since my parents both passed away.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, and then with you, because you had you had
a troubled relationship with your mom, but you guys, uh,
Salvage did and you guys ended up with a great relationship.
And yeah, and I'm glad for you for that. Uh,
that is not Trey's journey. And we were watching Tara
(22:42):
and I were watching the first couple episodes of the
Taylor Swift documentary that just came out, And in one
of them, what really really, Trey, I was just singing
your praise is about being Cray the Optimist and I
you're gonna dog on me for watching the Taylor Swift
The End of Virus.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Yeah, I'm glad he did it before I could.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Anyway. So one of her dancers is.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Wisdom.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
One of the segments of the documentary, one of her
dancers is having this conversation with his mom and he's
talking about how great she was and he and his
brother growing up. Uh, his brother went on to play
defensive line for the Kansas City Chiefs and he's a
dancer on Taylor Swift's tour. And it's just the relationship
between him and his mom and it was so sweet
and loving and he's like, you sacrifice so much and
(23:40):
I love you and she's like, I love you too, baby,
and all this it was just great. And and you're
I'm watching and going like, man, that looks nice.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Yeah, which which part dan.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
The part about being a dancer on Taylor Swift's tour.

I don't hold anything against you, Dan, I'm I'll always
support your journey.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yeah, I was gonna say the same. I'll embrace it.
I'm glad that you're comfortable in your own skin and
you know you can talk about it and uh see.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
You guys are saying the right things. But it still
makes me want to say you to both of you
because because I hear the tone and I see your faces.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Oh don't we don't judge here. We love and and
will always be here to love you.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
No, you love to judge. That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I mean, what a what a wonderful way to spend
your time is I mean, now, does it get into
their she and Travis's relationship?

Speaker 3 (26:45):
David Bowie Labyrinth.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It is okay to be a man, a straight man,
and be a fan of Taylor Swift. It is one okay.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
You're to be a fan.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Absolutely, yeah. I think she says so as well.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
So you have that, So why why why would me
watching the documentary make me less of a man?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Tree?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Because you're watching the documentary, you're actually spending time. It's
not being a fan of the music. It's one thing. Yeah,
you want to you want to shake it off, go ahead,
But when you're actually going to devote hours of your
time to a documentary, then you know, I think I
think eyebrow these questions.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
You know form.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Okay, you, sir, should not be casting stones from your
translucent mansion, because aren't you the one that's watched documentaries
are about OCTOPI?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Okay, yet nature documentaries, Dan, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Why is that so? Why is that better than a
documentary about people?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Huh, Well, it's not just people, Dana.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
You know, I watched documentaries about serial kill serial killers,
not tayte I.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Mean yeah, I didn't even know there was a documentary
out about Taylors. You said something, I had no clue.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
All right, Look, I am a little bit of a
closeted SWIFTYE. It's been it's been my journey this year,
and I'm kind of on that path and I'm okay
with it. I really like her music. I've always liked
her music. The documentary side of stuff though, to me
is fascinating because it's the highest grossing tour of all time,
and I don't remember seeing a documentary about whatever the
(28:29):
tour was before it as far as grossing that amount
of money. It was a damn good concert. Watched the
concert last year that came out, and no, it was
on like Disney Plus, so you just watch it home,
and we didn't go to the actual concert. But there
(28:50):
was a genuine curiosity. It's like, okay, by news reports
and everything, the greatest tour of all time. I'm curious
watch it and it's phenomenal curious As someone who grew yeah,
well yeah, curiosity is not a bad thing trick, and
as someone who grew up in a theater family, I'm
also fascinated by the stage production. You two were just
(29:14):
I can't talk you guys. You know what this is
all I have to say to you, guys.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
What's your favorite song by the Swift.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
One of my favorites is long Live Okay?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, that's awesome, man.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Your favorite song.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
The main one? I don't know the name of the song,
but I actually can hear it in my head.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Sure you can?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yeah? How moved? Were you like cats? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Here's the other thing you guys need. I don't need
to justify myself, but I'm going to because I feel
the need to justify myself. In addition to the other stuff,
I'm also fascinated at how she runs her business. Like
from a standpoint, you're talking about so much. She gave
over one hundred and ninety seven million dollars in bonuses
to everyone on her tour. From a million dollar piece,
(30:21):
there was one hundred thousand dollars bonuses at one point
to pretty much everybody, and then others may have gotten
more along the way, like even like one of the
one of the big stories that came out during the
tour was she gave one hundred thousand dollars bonuses to
pretty much everybody, and that includes the truck drivers who
were just hauling stuff around. And I'm fascinated by her
(30:41):
as a business leader. As a.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
He freezes up again.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yep, I wonder what we're getting for our bonuses this year.
I don't think it's one hundred grand.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, I don't think so either, But you know it's
it's fascinating because he could have because I believe she shared,
like all the sales from the merchandise with everyone that
worked on the tour.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
But so does Kenny Chesney. You know, he could have
followed that silence.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
He does the same thing. Yeah, oh that's very cool.
I know kenu Reeves did like all the royalties from
the matrix. I think he gave to the crew, right,
something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I mean, yeah, but yeah, Kenny Chesney has been because
he tours almost non stop.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
So yeah, he takes care of everyone.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
So interesting. Okay, well, good dude.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I like hearing stuff like that. But you know, that's
that's always nice because I mean, they make just such
a grip just off ticket sales and such, so to
see that they'll give that back to the people that
are actually running the show behind the show, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I wonder if I wonder if Tera makes Dan dress
up to watch the show. I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Eyes shadowed, lipstick.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Do you have like a sequent outfit you wear when
you're when you're watching.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
He wig, feather bolo, anything, high heel boots tu say
o Mally.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
