Speaker 1 (00:02):
Trey, can you play the intro?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Please?

Speaker 1 (00:05):
All right, it is time to leave your worries outside

(00:37):
and laugh with us inside the tree house. I'm Dan
Olmley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Everyone stop
what you're doing and pay attention very very closely, because
I have found it. I have found the stupidest story
of the year. And it's not even close. I realize

(01:00):
we've got almost four months left of this year. I
challenged the stupidest of the stupid among us to do
something stupider than this.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
That's throwing down a gauntlet.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
It's a big, dumb gauntlet. And when you hear this story, Tray,
you're going to be on my side. A Texas man
has been charged with murder after he and his friend
allegedly took turns shooting each other. It doesn't get any
stupider than that, and if it does, I will make

(01:40):
you a plaque into trophy.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Why don't even think that's original, guys, I.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Thought, well, I take that.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I remember there was a story.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I don't know a while ago, but I think it
was at Arkansas and they were taking turns shooting each other.
Now they had kevlar vest On.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Well, these guys kicked it up a notch and did
it with kevlar helmets.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I definitely, I definitely went. I definitely went to high
school with those guys.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, like I said, this happened in Texas, so they
didn't go far raj and if Arkansas, if the Arkansas
pair shot each other in the chest with keV lar vests,
the Texas boys here said, hold our beers. A man
is facing a murder charge over his friend's death after
Texas authorities alleged the two men took turns shooting each other.

(02:41):
Sean O'Donnell, who's forty six, was arrested last week after
his friend was shot in the head at Shawn's house.
That's according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. Deputies first
responded to the home and found an adult male with
a gunshot wound to the head. The man, Aaron Prout,
was taken to the hospital where he died from his injuries.
According to Gonzales, That's the sheriff, The incident was first

(03:03):
believed to be a suicide, but things weren't adding up
upon further investigation. Prout and O'Donnell these are the two
friends allegedly put on a kevlar helmet and took turns
shooting at each other with a rifle inside Shawn's house.
Sean was charged on Thursday with account of murder in
his friend's death, court shows. Court records show a three

(03:25):
hundred thousand dollars bond was set, but he appears to
remain in custody s of Tuesday morning because chances are
he don't got it. A public defender representing him during
his court appearance, and NBC News reached out to Harris
County Public Defender's office for comment, They have not received
one as of yet. In addition to this being probably
the stupidest story of the year, and again I challenge

(03:48):
people to try to not just meet it, but exceed it.
To me, this doesn't feel like a murder case, because
for murder there's supposed to be you know, like premeditation,
sort of malice or something. Right, This is just too
idiot shooting at each other, right, Or are they saying
that actually rises to the level of premeditation when you
tell your buddy put this helmet on and let me

(04:12):
shoot you.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
So my first question is did the guys miss or
or or did the kevlar not not do its job?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Great question? Poor journalism here on the part of NBC News.
That's a great question. I'd like to know that.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Were they waiting on the meth to cook?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
How? And what were their names?

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
It was Sean and Aaron?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, Tray you want to take that?

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Oh yeah, no, there's no let's look at let's just
you know, kevlar, helmet, rifle, SNA.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, that's white.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
It all adds up to white.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
I I don't know how you convinced, Like how charming
you have to be to convince somebody to do this,
like okay.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Hear me out?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Like then, and I walked up to you, like, here's
the deal.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
I've got these helmets, okay, also got these rifles.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, let's take turns shooting each other.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
I'm out, Okay, Fine, you're out, Trey, we got these helmets,
got these rifles.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Dan's out, Let's shoot each other.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
What caliber is the rifle?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's our? Boy, that is our that's the one.

Speaker 6 (05:55):
That's the Leonard talking, Yeah, Highland parks Like I'm out.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Uh, that's the third in his lineage talking. He's been
watered down through the generations.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
That's why the name dies with me.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
You're in the Treehouse.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration into
the Treehouse now. Reason why because it's happy in here.
It's a happy place. It's full of fun and laughs
and friendship. And there's another place, Daniel, that you hang
out at sometimes that is not like that. I'm of
course talking about at and T Stadium in Arlington, where
our Cowboys play. Do you and Carrie have any plans

(06:52):
on seeing any games this year? Are you gonna keep
your suffering to a minimum?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
You know, we go generally.

Speaker 8 (06:58):
He wants to hear to watch a game. We get
lucky occasionally, like a couple of years ago they were
like eight and one at home or something like that.
But then they were like two and six on the
road or something like that. So we got lucky one year.
We saw a couple of games that year. It just
depends on how much of a bad mood do we
want to be and when we leave. That's really what

(07:20):
it's about. And you know, we try to get out
there early. We do a little bit of tailgating. We
meet some folks you know, we have a good time.
I know some people that work out there, so we
try to meet up with them sometimes. But watching the
game has definitely been hard to do in the last
couple of years because your expectations are just not being met.
And I know so many people want to blame different

(07:41):
people about it, but at the end of the day,
there's thirty two teams that have to start every year
the same way, and it just seems like the Cowboys
find a way of not being there. And so I
don't know what to expect this year. I'm very concerned
Dak coming off the injury year. You know, our backup
quarterback that was supposed to be really good, I don't

(08:01):
feel good about him. We let well Cooper rush. You know,
We're running backs are still not decided. Really, our line
doesn't look like it's the best it could be. We're
getting pushed around. I mean, just the key fundamentals that
we learned in sixth and seventh grade. It seems like
these guys are still struggling to find out what what
wins the game. So I don't know, We'll see. We'll
probably will go to one game. We're glutton for punishment,

(08:23):
so we'll give it one shot.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Probably the most important thing that you said in there, Daniel,
was that was expectations. While our cowboys may fail to
meet our expectations and have for many many years, you
deliver and sometimes over deliver on expectations when it comes
to Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration called Daniel and his
outstanding team. Today eight three to three Cook DFW or

(08:47):
the website cookdfw dot com.

Speaker 9 (08:58):
You're listening to the true visit us online at Treehouseonair
dot com.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
This segment of the Treehouse is brought to you by
COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration to get your free roof inspection
called eight three three cook DFW. And you have just
a few days left to get that free estimate on
a brand new outdoor space provided by cook DFW. And
when you get that, you will be entered into a
contest to win a big green egg once again courtesy

(09:28):
of our friends at COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration. Eight three
three COOKDFW or the website cookdfw dot com. Today is
the day. It is NFL Kickoff Day, which means it
is the culmination of Trey's thirteen step program to help
US Cowboys fans addicted to the most toxic team in

(09:52):
the NFL. And yes, that is, of course the Dallas Cowboys,
of which we've all been lifelong fans. But there is
a shift and helping because Trey, while you've been addicted
to pretty much everything on the planet and you have
kicked those nasty habits and been sober for nine years,
your last great addiction has been the Dallas Cowboys. So

(10:14):
I would like to thank you for your efforts in
leading this charge and leading this group. Whereas today, since
it's kickoff day, we will finish with the final three
steps of your Cowboys Anonymous program.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, and let me just say this because.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
A lot of people are going to relapse tonight, and
but you know there's still a seat for you tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
So you're saying, if the Cowboys were to win, don't
get too far ahead of ourselves. That's like Cowboys Anonymous.
Cowboys Anonymous will still be meeting.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I feel like.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
It's going to be more of just the the mass
disappointment because there's a delusion men out there that Dak
owns the Eagles.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, I mean record wise, he does. Okay, it may
not pass the eye test, but record wise all right,
So let's quickly recap the previous steps inside Trey's recovery program.
Cowboys anonymous leading us to Trey unveiling his final three

(11:25):
steps leading up to the kickoff tonight between our Dallas
Cowboys and those mighty mighty Eagles, bless all right. Number one,
we admitted we were powerless over the Cowboys, Our team
and at salary cap have become unmanageable. Step number two
came to believe that only a power greater than ourselves,
namely an owner GM and head coach, could restore us

(11:45):
to sanity. Number three made a decision to turn our
fandomand our falls over to the care of a God
as we understand him, someone who actually knows football and talent.
Number four made a searching and fearless inventory of our
roster and the time we've devoted to it. Five admitted God,
ourselves and another human being that we suck and our
roster is doo doo and dak is mid at best.
That's my favorite one to read. By the way, if

(12:06):
you couldn't tell number six, we're entirely ready for God,
the NFL, or someone who knows what they're doing to
remove all the defects in our roster. Number seven, humbling
asked them to remove all the shortcomings from our roster
and get rid of all the contracts no other team
would have signed. Number eight made a list of all
the people who had harmed with who we had harmed
with our delusional this is our year beliefs, and became

(12:27):
willing to make amends to them. Number nine made direct
amends to such people wherever possible, including fans of other teams,
except Philly fans because they can still suck it. Number
ten continue to take roster and team inventory and realize
that it is hopeless that in reality, the only time
the Cowboys look good is against prevent defenses and clock
killing offenses. Those are the ten steps so far. It

(12:49):
is time for the final three steps of Tray's Cowboys
Anonymous Program.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Step eleven sought through prayer, study, and meditation to improve
our consciousness and understanding of good football. Praying for knowledge
to understand how good teams play and are run.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Ugh, it is.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
It is tough. It is tough, especially because we're all
from Texas and we all played football, so I feel
like we as fans typically know a little bit more
but that's the delusion I think that they pull us into.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
No, it's I mean, there are a lot of very
successful high school programs that are run better than the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yes, ironically, a lot of Jerry's kids and grandkids went
to Highland Park, so you should know this is the
model right there.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Hy Step twelve.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps,
we try to carry these messages to other Cowboy holics
and pour our energy into teams that are worthy of
our time and hope, unless they're Aggie, they require more
help than we offer.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's a cult thing.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
And then the final step, step thirteen, free ourselves to
cheer for a team that actually has a chance of
winning a super Bowl and make our sundays enjoyable again.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Oh man, that's definitely the toughest step of them all.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Go Kansas City, you know That's I find That's really
the beautiful thing is you're just kind of like a
free agent. You can just you can be whimsical with
your your you can root for different teams.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Just that's so hard for me to do, and I
feel like that's a generational thing that that should be
hard for all of us to do because we grew
up cheering for the team, right Because while it shifted
into free agency and all these things, you grew up
really married to your team and that was your team,
ride or die type of thing.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Well, then when free agency hit, all the younger generations like,
why would I care about this team? I'm more of
a fan of a player, and I'll follow that.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
But we grew up when the Cowboys were successful.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I know, I know, And and that's what's difficult about
commitment is commitment means you're there in good times and
in bad. Actually, I'm just describing marriage. I'm not married
to the Cowboys. That's if that were the case, then
if we get a divorce, I want half.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
You're Dan, Dan, You're you're talking. It's like an abusive relationship.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Then you're going to change. He won't do it again.
He won't smack Jerry, won't smack me around like a bit.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
He'll take the playoffs after his second bottle of Johnny
Walker blue.

Speaker 6 (15:36):
But I mean the Kansas City Chiefs, I mean Lamar
Hunt took them from here.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
There were the Texans, right, m m.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
That they were Actually Dallas's are og in fl team.
It was the Dallas Texans that he moved to Kansas
City and renamed him the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, so let's all work for the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
You know what? Right now, I'm a big fan of
of of of Taylor and Travis, So I'm okay with that,
you know, I'm I'm a fan of Joy and if
I'm being honest, I actually do really enjoy the old
Dallas Texans logo that the Chiefs will occasionally pull out.
Like I remember the first time they pulled out that
that original Dallas Texans logo on the sidelines of a

(16:17):
Chiefs game. I was like, look at them pulling up
the Texas hats.

Speaker 7 (16:21):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
Yeah, it's like occasionally, like when the Titans busted out
the oilers old oh yeah logo, I was like.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh that just that just felt like a big oily
middle finger.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
There had been enough separation where I was like, oh,
you know what, I missed those.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
But I'm also I'm a big fan of powder blue uniforms,
like that's.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
It was a sucker for baby blue. All right, so
you're you're switching to Chiefs now, since this is your program.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'm a free listen I'm not bound.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Oh he's free.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Yeah, I mean I I there's part of me that's
gonna root for the commanders, just to put just to
give the middle.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Finger to the cowboys.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
But no, never the okay, yeah, well okank God you
have substandards too.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I don't want to come to that group meeting now.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, I'm a cowboy aholic, not a moron.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
I took two.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
I took shots at two teams that I will never
root for, Eagles and Aggie.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
What if it's an Aggie cowboy combination. What if they
come into the program seeking your help, because.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
I said, if they're Aggie, they have to go to
like there's a scientology cowboy group.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
They need to go to.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Two doors down, and they make you pay for the
coffee and donuts.

It is proven that the Treehouse Show makes everything better.
Good day, The Treehouse Show make it a great day.
Having a bad day, well, the Treehouse Show will make
it a good day. Sounds like the Fox fourth thing,
but still you get the idea. Share the show with
a friend today, make their day just a little bit
better from your favorite listening platform, hit that share button
and send the show to a friend today, or better yet,

(18:42):
share that on social media so all of your friends
and family know you listen and laugh to the Treehouse show.
Let's grow. AI is taking over And while this sounds
a little bit like Black Mirror, the AI powered romance
era may be close, then, we think. The founder of
Bumble says, the future of dating is having your AI

(19:06):
date other people's AI and then have it recommend the
best matches for you to meet. Trey as a single man,
Raj as a somewhere in between single and taken, would
you be open to the idea of having an AI
dating bot to pre screen somebody else's AI dating bot

(19:31):
and then you can figure out this stuff once they
go through whatever parameters that you need. Are you ready
to have AI take over your romantic life?

Speaker 3 (19:42):
You can't do worse.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
It was the best of times, it was the worst
of times inside the Treehouse. Yeah, that was actually perfectly
said by both of you, because Raj, you are very
ardent against AI, and Trey at this point has has
obviously given up. So sure, let the bot take over
all right, you know what, I commend you both. Trey,

(20:08):
I commend you for keeping an open mind. Ra I
commend you for sticking to your guns.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah, this is how, this is how it starts. I'm
telling you, they're like, hey, we're just helping you out, buddy.
We want we want you to find love. And then
that's when the takeover starts.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, and it might start as no, no, I'm let
me help you, Raj, buddy, old pal, I'm your AI
bought and I'm going to go out I'm going to
go out there into the world. I'm gonna find you somebody,
somebody worth your time, right, and eventually it's gonna get
it's gonna get rough out there, and then I'm just
gonna select someone that's going to be genetically worthy of you.

(20:47):
So then we're just gonna take over with a whole
new genetic program that AI is orchestrated.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
My first big yes, the big red flag that that
comes with this is if your AI knows you that well,
you've been spending way too much time with your AI,

(21:13):
and what comes with that.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Oh, I'm pretty sure he did. We're not gonna edit
that out. We're gonna leave it right there, which is
a great time to mention. If you are not currently
subscribed to our Patreon, you need to be so you
can see the exact moment locked up on screen Patreon
dot com slash Treehouse on air.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, I may.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Just what we should do is just we should get
a screen grab of Raj's face and just use that
as like the episode U photo. That's uh, but it's
kind of distracting, it says a lot without hearing him

(21:57):
say anything.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
But yeah, I mean, and AI, what are they basing
it off of? Because I just are are they basing
it off the way people answer the dating questions?

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Because that's a bunch of bs.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I don't know. Bumble founder Whitney Wolf heard, that's a
great last name. Whitney Wolf heard.

Speaker 7 (22:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
She imagines a future where AI manages your love life,
interacting with other AIS to find the perfect match. Her
dating concierge could scan hundreds of profiles, picking only the
best for you. So there you go. So you'd have
your own personal AI romance bot, sifting through profiles and

(22:43):
doing the tedious task of swiping one direction or the
other on your behalf, freeing you up to do other things.
What I don't know.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah, so then you're basically going to have a blind
date with that AI has set up.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
M hmm.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
I mean, like I said, it'd be hard to do
any worse than I do, so I guess I have
to be open to it. But it just seems like
it's fraught with problems and you. The other thing is,
I don't care how good AI is. A I can't
spot the crazy like I can.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
That is how you know AI will not completely take
over because it definitely takes a human touch and experience
to know crazy when he sees it.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Yeah, ay, I don't know crazy. A. I can't find
a punchline. There are some things A I just really
you know, maybe one day, but not probably not in
our lifetime.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Well, it's not fault AI completely. It's not like we
always find a punchline. Just most of the time.

Speaker 7 (23:52):
You're in the Treehouse.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
By the way, Raj is blaming AI for kicking him
off the internet conspiracy theories.

Speaker 10 (24:04):
Jesus, you're listening to the tree House.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
It is time to advertise right here inside the Treehouse.
Sponsorship opportunities are available if you're interested to shoot us
an email Treehouse on Air at gmail dot com. That's
Treehouse on Air at gmail dot com to advertise right
here inside the Treehouse. Welcome back, RAJ. Hopefully the AI
and you have made somewhat of enough piece for you

(24:44):
to be here for the remainder of the show.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
I hope.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
So this is not the first time, though, that technology
has bitten someone right in the ass. Case in Point,
a scientist who helped design breathalyzers to catch drunk drivers
was arrested for drunk driving after failing a breathalyzer. That's
pretty good, right, It's poetic justice. It really really is,

(25:12):
kind of but it does get a little bit better.
Retired doctor Richard Lacey mounted around about in his car. Seriously,
big thumbs up to the Daily Mail for coming up
with that gym mounted around about. That's something that we
would never come up with in America. That's definitely an

(25:33):
English thing. I like that.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Mounted a roundabout.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Uh huh?

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Did he drive through the center of it?

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Or yeah? Sorry, I probably should have. I probably should
have thrown in that additional prepositional phrase. He mounted a
roundabout in his car. It wasn't like he was just
dry humping the big thing in the middle as people
drove around him. This was after drinking an entire bottle
of wine and pints with his lunch. He is one
of the scientists who helped design breathalyzers to catch drunken motorists,

(26:09):
so good on him. It's you know, it's kind of
like Frankenstein's monster, but Frankenstein's breathalyzer.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Kind of like a Jerry and the salary cap.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
That's very true, destroyed by the thing he created.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Yeah, I've I've asked for a breathalyzer before. I wasn't
drinking at all. I was leaving the Dolls Comedy Club
and my lights had been turned off by the valet.
And if they don't calibrate it right, this was comical
to me. They're they're like, we have to do a
field sobriety test. I was like, can I just have
the breathalyzer and we can get this over with right now?
And he's like sure, And I blew into it zero

(26:51):
point four to three. Like I was like, I think
the max by the way, I don't.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
I don't think those go higher than that.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yeah, I was like, I think, I'm I think that
would be dead, sir. Can I get one that's calibrated?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Can you like give that a smack or something to
say that thing?

Speaker 6 (27:08):
Young younger kid came over and gave me the breather
lyzer point oh oh one.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
I was like, Eah, that's that's a lot better than
being in an alcohol induced coma.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
The ultimate, the ultimate dick cop thing though, would have
been all right, Well, we got to take the average
of the two, so that means you're a point to two,
one five and behind your back, sir.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Three times the legal limit. Oh uh so yeah, a
poor guy.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
I mean, did they did they offer him the did
they offer him a breathalyzer? Is that?

Speaker 3 (27:42):
We said?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oh yeah, absolutely?

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Oh wow yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Man uh. Doctor Lacey said, I'm retired. I designed breathalyzers
and used to work with the police. I had a
couple of glasses of wine with lunch and a few
pints of beer. The court heard his breath was measured
at forty one micrograms, exceeding the legal limit of thirty
five micrograms. And since I'm American and don't do well

(28:06):
with the metric system, I don't know if that's a
lot more or not. It sounds like not a whole
lot because it's micrograms. But I don't efen know.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, I mean it's enough to be impaired. But I mean,
he but I want to go to lunch with this
stut it does?

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, Well, look he's retired. It's not like he's going
back to the lab. I mean, look, I'll tell you
right now, when I'm retired and I go to lunch,
this is going to sound similar. I might have a
very similar menu.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
I mean, if point three to five in micrograms is
the legal limit, then he is a point four to one.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Forget the points. I don't, I don't. I don't know
how that works.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, I don't know how.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
I don't know how. I don't know how that compares
to what we know of the breathalyzer. They're just saying
thirty five micrograms is the legal limit. He was forty one.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Well, I know, but if that's the case, it doesn't
take rocket science figure out he was barely over the limit.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
Yeah, but I also who goes from wine to beer? Doctors, pilots,
we just start naming professions.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Well, no, I mean it makes sense because I'm a doctor.
I'm going to start with the wine. And then after
he's had enough wine, he's like, and I.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Want a beer.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
A retired Englishman.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Actually yeah, he started out. He tried to be fancy,
but all that schooling I couldn't mask the inner Englishman.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Still still pop, the carb.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Still mounted around about How drunk are you mounted around
about in his car or with his genitals car? All right, probation.
If it was genitals, you're going to jail.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
I just uh yeah again, Like I said, I just
want to see, like I would love to have lunch
and to see what like what what? What was he
eating or was it just a liquid lunch.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
I don't know if he had food with that or not.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, does that would soak up some of it?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I would assume, although if you want to go super
stereotypical Englishman, the food might have been the pints of
beer and the wine was the pairing.

Do that today. Speaking of today, Today is Thursday, September fourth,

(31:07):
twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Comedian
and actress and producer Whitney Cummings is forty three today.
Whitney Cummings is forty three. She's the creator of Two
Broke Girls. She's also had her show, Whitney, which was

(31:32):
I believe the television show debut for our good buddy
Tone bell Is. In Yeah, season two of Whitney, he
appeared as the black guy on the show as RJ
the Bartender. It's so nice to see how far our
buddy Tone has come as starting out as RJ the

(31:53):
Bartender on whitney Comings show and now becoming a bartender
on Netflix as the host as the host of Drink Masters,
and a lot of other good stuff in between.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I can't remember if we talked about this, but.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
The show he's on, Survival of the Thickest mm hmm,
Like he is so good in that.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Oh, he's really good.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
I mean, I was blown away.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
It really does give it really does give you an
insight into his actual acting chops, because that character is
not like him at all, and you can see the
deviation from his personality to playing that character all the
way down to with the interesting hairstyles. But you're right,

(32:43):
I mean that is it shows great range.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, and it really is.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
You're right, he really is. He's very, very good in
that show.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
There's one episode I can't remember the designer of the
jacket that he was wearing, but when I went to
his fortieth birthday down bass Drop walked in and he
was literally wearing the same jacket.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
I was like, did you just steal that from wardrobe?
And he's like, absolutely, yes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Look I've never acted in Hollywood, but I mean I've
been around stage life a lot. When no one's looking.
You take your wardrobe when and where you can.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
When I did the travel show for Amazon, I took
almost all of it.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
The important thing to do is if you're not super
high up on the celebrity letter scale, you know, like
A A list, D list, whatever. If you're not on
that top two or three, if you're not at least
a C list, if you're below sea list celebrity in Hollywood,
then you better grease the costume people to let you
walk out the door with that wardrobe piece that you

(33:45):
want to keep. It's just my pro tip. Other birthdays today,
Beyonce's forty four, go for her. Max Greenfield is I
don't know why this says in the prep service forty
five or six. It seems kind of silly. He is
Schmidt on the show New Girl. He was also I

(34:05):
think it was the Neighborhood show he was on with
the blonde actors who was also on Two Broke Girls,
and the Neighborhood was a show with him and Cedric
the entertainer.

Speaker 7 (34:15):
I remember.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Uh, he's actually he's very funny, very good. Max Greenfield.
Wes Bentley is forty seven. He is Detective John.

Speaker 6 (34:25):
Ro He's Detective John. Yeah. And this time that this
time it's not me.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
But Dan gave an equally great your your expression when
he froze mm hmm.

Speaker 7 (34:47):
It was.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
Absolutely just an amazing still of you that.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
You will say again, I will yes.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yes, okay, good, okay.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
If I if I told you, if I told you
it was a face, if you were imitating a crazy
white woman by giving a face, that would it would
have been the face that frowz.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
That's when see, I'm telling you AI is coming to
get me. I keep I keep exposing it. This is
what's gonna happen. I'm telling you, I keep exposing it.
I keep telling you the downsides of it. And it's like, okay,
is that the fact? Stop freeze now I'm gonna kick
you off. Now, restart everything. And I literally said AI

(35:36):
and apologized and everything started again.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
If I told you to give a face like you
were a mad Karen and your son Declan had been disrespected,
and that's the face.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Gareth, Gareth, Gareth, somebody spoke ill of Gareth.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah it was Karen at a PTA meeting face.

Speaker 6 (35:59):
Oh yeah, I gotta see this one. Welcome back then.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Thank you. Don't know what happened, but AI.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Maybe telling you that's onto us.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
I didn't say anything disparaging about AI. I think I'm
pretty well on record here inside the treehouse that I'm
fine with them taking over as long as I get to,
you know, hang out and have some say in who
they squash and don't.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
So you want to be the sidekick to AI.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Wouldn't be the first time in my life I've been
a sidekick and a damn good one.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
At least ay I will show up for work.

a little bit left inside the Treehouse Show for today,
and Trey, thank you for mentioning the name Declin, because

(37:56):
that seamlessly segues us into our story where a cheerleader
has turned into a murder leader. From cheerleader to murder leader.
This story about a South Carolina love triangle is tragic,
but there is more to the story, all right, So

(38:17):
hang in. A high school cheerleader in South Carolina is
accused of instigating a fight that led to her boyfriend's death.
That's according to multiple reports. The shooting happened June twenty fifth,
round midnight of Florence County Sheriff's Office deputy noticed or
noted arriving at a chaotic scene. The deputy found sixteen
year old Trey Wright lying in the road, several people

(38:38):
standing around screaming and crying. He also saw two close
ranged gunshot wounds to the chest. He later died from
those injuries. Authorities say Trey's girlfriend, seventeen year old Gianna Kristenmacher,
was arrested in charge with accessory before the fact to
a felony. She allegedly drove nineteen year old Devon Raper

(38:58):
to the place where the shooting happened, knowing he was
armed and that there would be a violent altercation. The
two allegedly You've Got Devin and Trey got into a
conflict over Gianna, followed by a series of snapchat messages
that led to the shooting. Witnesses told sheriffs that the
guy was armed and warned about potential danger. Suspecting people

(39:22):
inside Mazda were armed. The witness also reported seeing one
of the suspects wearing a ski mask and holding a gun.
In total, the Sheriff's office has arrested nine people in
connection with Trey Wright's death. All right, seven of those
nine people have been arrested.

Speaker 7 (39:43):
Why are you.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Laughing, Raj, It's just.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
I'll hand it over to Trey.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
We'll wait because there's, like I said, there's going to
be more to this story.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Okay, I'm sure. I'm just saying so I here are.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Here are seven of the murder suspects that have been arrested,
and thank you. Some of their names. Some of the
suspects names also grabbed our attention Jaden Braylin, Sidney, Karen Hunter,

(40:22):
and Devon. And obviously those names are so white sounding,
and they're so white in fact, that I have dubbed
them the pumpkin spice latte.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Gag, which with the orange jumpsuits, very nice.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
It is all colors. They're ready.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
They're going to be around every fall for at least
eight to ten at least. Wow, that is the that is.
Look at the hairstyles, can.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
We oh you want to look at those again?

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (40:58):
Just the guys.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yeah, the girls happen pretty yeah, the girls look fairly
normal other than the one that looks like the girl
from the last of us on the lower left. They
all look pretty normal as far as the girl's hair.
But the guys, the two on the top left or
it's it's like they put a bowl on their head
and then did a blowout for what was hanging out.
The guy in the far left looks a little bit

(41:22):
like ace Ventura in aceh Ventura too when he's with
the tribe.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
But the guy at the bottom in the middle between
the girl and the other guy on the right, that
guy looks like he's done time before, like.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
He yeah, he's ready, he's ready to go in. He's ready,
he's ready for prison. He's fine. He also took expect However,
young Devin Raper, who is the shooting suspect on the
lower right that you see there. I mean, it's one
thing to go into prison with the last name Raper,
but I'm pretty sure that will be.

Speaker 6 (41:55):
Rape E before He's like, last names like happen like
to sometimes it could be like what your professionals like
blacksmith or goldsmith, stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
So Raper, that family got that name from somewhere.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Oh God Jesus, Yeah, that's one of those you change.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
They're gonna be Somebody's little PSL. Treat the dsls on
the PSLs.
