1:31
Speaker 3: you to pay clodstension here. This headline goes hard, so
1:35
Speaker 3: I need you to brace yourselves. The San Antonio funeral
1:41
Speaker 3: home mogul named Dick Pips is taking firms and against
1:45
Speaker 3: his hoa. That's like the headline straight out of the
1:53
Speaker 3: Onion or the Abalon Tree. But no, no, this is
1:56
Speaker 3: a San Antonio Express news, an actual behind a paywall
2:02
Speaker 3: news outlet. So some of the information I have in
2:05
Speaker 3: this story is dark or murky. But can you believe
2:16
Speaker 3: Dick Tips woke up one morning wooden hand and said,
2:19
Speaker 3: I'm gonna build a funeral home empire. Very impressive. His
2:26
Speaker 3: very full name is Robert Tips. Dick is his nickname,
2:29
Speaker 3: and he's taking his h away head on.
2:35
Speaker 4: Now.
2:35
Speaker 5: I don't know a lot about white people nicknames, but is.
2:38
Speaker 6: It Robert, Bob and Richard Dick?
2:41
Speaker 2: Yes?
2:42
Speaker 6: Yes, okay, so he picked I'm gonna say it, he
2:47
Speaker 6: picked Dick.
2:48
Speaker 3: Well, we don't know that Dick may have been thrust
2:52
Speaker 3: upon him.
2:55
Speaker 6: You know, and he's an adult. At any point you
2:58
Speaker 6: can change it.
2:59
Speaker 3: Yeah you can. You can say no, yeah too, that naps.
3:06
Speaker 7: I just want to know, like if they're being invited
3:07
Speaker 7: to dinner and it's like, you know, you know, it's
3:09
Speaker 7: a it's another couple, Like, hey, so who are we inviting?
3:12
Speaker 7: You know, It's like we'll invite a few people. It's
3:14
Speaker 7: like no, no, just invite you know, just just the tips.
3:20
Speaker 7: We wanted to be intimate evenings, just us and the tips.
3:27
Speaker 3: Look, if you didn't need more evidence that we're all
3:31
Speaker 3: extremely childish in here for middle aged men. YEP, exhibits A, B,
3:37
Speaker 3: and C. But this is an actual story, believe it
3:41
Speaker 3: or not. A funeral home mogul Robert Dick Tips is
3:49
Speaker 3: taking a San Antonio homeowners association to court over its
3:52
Speaker 3: removal of a billboard from property he owns. Mister Tips
3:58
Speaker 3: is the chairman and cee of Mission Park Funeral Chapels
4:02
Speaker 3: and Cemeteries, and he alleges one or more persons believed
4:05
Speaker 3: to have been acting on behalf of, or in conspiracy with,
4:09
Speaker 3: the Coronado Enclave Homeowners Association went on to his property
4:13
Speaker 3: and unlawfully removed a sign while mister Dick Tips doesn't
4:19
Speaker 3: know who trespassed to remove the billboard. He says, the
4:22
Speaker 3: association and one of the five individuals and one of
4:25
Speaker 3: the five individual defendants are likely to have knowledge about
4:29
Speaker 3: what happened to it. So here we have a big
4:35
Speaker 3: conspiracy against mister Dick Tips. Look, I realized that career
4:48
Speaker 3: day in school there wasn't a funeral director in attendance
4:52
Speaker 3: to talk to us about the profession, let alone becoming
4:59
Speaker 3: a mogul in the industry. Maybe because they saw his
5:05
Speaker 3: name and wouldn't let him in the school. I don't know,
5:10
Speaker 3: but I will say this, if you really want to
5:13
Speaker 3: get in the head, damn it screw up on punchline,
5:17
Speaker 3: But I will say this, if you really want to
5:19
Speaker 3: get ahead in life, I suggest cozying ut to Dick
5:23
Speaker 3: Tips Dick Tip's funeral home.
5:35
Speaker 1: You know Dick had another business too, what's up? During
5:43
Speaker 1: COVID H he also became a meltman and uh yeah,
5:50
Speaker 1: he had to figure out how to buy three thousand
5:54
Speaker 1: gallons of melt. But then once he secured the load,
5:56
Speaker 1: he printed a truck and bought it from Tyler to
6:00
Speaker 1: San Antonio, drove it home.
6:08
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
6:19
Speaker 2: Then he took it to the streets.
6:25
Speaker 6: There's times I'm wondering if Troy started drinking again.
6:31
Speaker 3: That's just how much the tree, That's just how much
6:33
Speaker 3: fun the tree, howse show is. It'll make your question,
6:38
Speaker 3: It'll make your question a sober man, sobriety.

Speaker 3: The link actually sounds very familiar.
6:52
Speaker 5: Oh you're not kidding. No, I apology.
7:04
Speaker 3: My poor memory. I thought it sounded familiar like some
7:07
Speaker 3: other news story that we had talked about that I
7:08
Speaker 3: was having a hard time connecting the dots. But I

9:39
Speaker 3: the Treehouse to its core. Conjoined twins Carmen and Lipita
9:46

9:49
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, Carmen made headlines when she married
9:52
Speaker 3: her longtime boyfriend Daniel. The twist. Loupita, who shares organs
9:58
Speaker 3: with her conjoined sister, made it clear she's not in
10:00
Speaker 3: the relationship and still considers herself single. So you know,
10:08
Speaker 3: if you're looking, Lupita is still single.
10:14
Speaker 2: Are you guys? Okay? Now, how conjoined are they?
10:24
Speaker 3: And where at the Torso Torso?
10:26
Speaker 5: Yeah?
10:27
Speaker 3: At the Torso So it's it's the chest. They're they're
10:29
Speaker 3: they're they're they're connected at the chest and they share organs.
10:33
Speaker 3: One of them got married last year, but the other
10:35
Speaker 3: one swears no, no, no, I am still single and
10:38
Speaker 3: ready to mingle.
10:40
Speaker 2: Uh.
10:41
Speaker 3: The couple slash trio say they have found a dynamic
10:44
Speaker 3: that works and refuse to let outsiders define what's normal.
10:48
Speaker 3: Carmen calls it love, Lupita calls it independence. Online it
10:54
Speaker 3: sparked a global conversation about consent, identity, and what it
10:57
Speaker 3: really means to share your life with some one.
11:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay that how do you do that? Like?
11:11
Speaker 7: I need to talk to this Daniel guy.
11:15
Speaker 3: It's a good it's a good question to have. I'm
11:17
Speaker 3: with you that a lot have it, which is how.
11:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it.
11:23
Speaker 7: I mean it's an easy, I guess easy threesome. There's
11:26
Speaker 7: too many jokes here. That's the wrong it is. But
11:30
Speaker 7: here's the thing.
11:30
Speaker 3: I feel like this is a genie and a bottle
11:34
Speaker 3: granting wishes that have gone awry, Like like a guy
11:37
Speaker 3: finds the genie in the sand, or find a guy
11:40
Speaker 3: finds a bottle and he rubs the lamp. That's what it's. Sorry,
11:44
Speaker 3: guy finds the lamp and he rubs it. Jeanie pops
11:46
Speaker 3: out and says, I'm gonna give you three wishes, and
11:48
Speaker 3: one of the first ones the guy says, I want
11:49
Speaker 3: two checks at the same time, and the genie says, okay,
11:55
Speaker 3: But you probably should have tailored your question a little
11:57
Speaker 3: more carefully because I'm gonna throw you at crackball. Are
12:02
Speaker 3: you not pleased there's two of them here? Sure they're
12:06
Speaker 3: connected at the chest. What happens if what's the Lupita
12:12
Speaker 3: h Carmen and Lupita?
12:14
Speaker 2: What happens if Lupita decides to go through a slutty phase?
12:19
Speaker 5: Good for Daniel? Yeah?
12:22
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.
12:28
Speaker 5: That's that's cheap, I guess. I don't know.
12:32
Speaker 7: I saw the on what was it TLC or something
12:35
Speaker 7: that the other girls that I have the two heads
12:38
Speaker 7: or whatever it is, and they finish their own sentences.
12:41
Speaker 7: It's so weird, like I can't even imagine. And they're married,
12:47
Speaker 7: so I can't imagine how that works.
12:52
Speaker 3: I really don't know either. It's just really I mean,
12:57
Speaker 3: we all have questions, and I really feel like we
13:00
Speaker 3: all are wondering the same thing.
13:08
Speaker 2: I mean, if one of them gets pregnant, do you
13:10
Speaker 2: know who the father is?
13:17
Speaker 3: I'd have more questions if you didn't.
13:19
Speaker 2: I mean, if they you know, had a wild night.
13:23
Speaker 7: What.
13:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of questions.
13:31
Speaker 3: Maybe you're right. I really don't know.
13:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're good looking.
13:38
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna show you I think I found
13:39
Speaker 3: a photo hear me, so I can show this to
13:41
Speaker 3: you guys. Maybe just a second here. Uh So they
13:47
Speaker 3: are connected at the torso they have two heads, but
13:52
Speaker 3: outside of that, every all the other appendages seem to
13:56
Speaker 3: be quote unquote normal. They got two arms, two legs,
14:04
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm guessing the downstairs area is a shared space.
14:14
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, do you do you do
14:18
Speaker 2: you have to, like, you know, put it on your
14:19
Speaker 2: calendar like they do. They they have.
14:23
Speaker 1: A like a a Google calendar for their privates.
14:26
Speaker 2: You know, who gets time?
14:28
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good question. Well not only that, but
14:31
Speaker 3: when it comes time, you know, for the one that's
14:33
Speaker 3: married to the guy, when it's time for them to
14:36
Speaker 3: be romantic with one another, the other one claims independence
14:41
Speaker 3: and is not a part of it. So then do
14:43
Speaker 3: you just like cover her with a sheet? I mean what,
14:46
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how.
14:47
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, if you do a really good job,
14:52
Speaker 2: do they both scream?
14:53
Speaker 3: What?
14:55
Speaker 5: Who makes that top?
14:57
Speaker 7: That's all I'm looking at.
15:00
Speaker 3: I think that's that's Grandma. That's that's Grandma was Jesus.
15:03
Speaker 3: She's met. That's that's custom. That's called the spoke.
15:09
Speaker 5: That's a really niche audience.
15:12
Speaker 3: It really is, it really is. Yeah. But I will
15:15
Speaker 3: say this, I'm happy that Daniel and which oneman is
15:20
Speaker 3: it Carmen the one that he married?
15:21
Speaker 5: Yeah?
15:23
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, Loupita is the one that is single. Carmen
15:27
Speaker 3: is married.
15:32
Speaker 2: Doggie style has got to be really awkward.
15:44
Speaker 10: One who do you walk out on in the morning,
15:48
Speaker 10: you guys, I mean, there's what if the single one
15:58
Speaker 10: wants to sabbat?
16:02
Speaker 5: Who's the single one?
16:05
Speaker 3: I think it's the one on the right, I really do.
16:09
Speaker 3: I think it's the one on the right.
16:13
Speaker 5: Since then at a bar you want to talk to
16:15
Speaker 5: the one on the right.
16:18
Speaker 3: Well, at some point, I'm curious. I'm curious how how
16:23
Speaker 3: they all met, because Daniel and Carmen had are now married,
16:26
Speaker 3: at some point had to meet, and at some point
16:30
Speaker 3: someone had to say that they were interested or not,
16:35
Speaker 3: Like Daniel approaches them as like hi does does Lupitia
16:41
Speaker 3: immediately say no? And Carmen's like yes.
16:45
Speaker 11: I guess they said at a corner, hey, can I
16:53
Speaker 11: talk to your sister? Where she ad that's not a question.
17:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to know the origin story. I want
17:04
Speaker 3: to know how they met.
17:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they won't disclose.
17:08
Speaker 7: They're like, it's not you know, we don't just you know,
17:10
Speaker 7: whatever's normal as normal whatever.
17:12
Speaker 3: But you say that, but eventually Lupita is gonna go.
17:16
Speaker 7: Off. What if one of them's a lesbian? What do
17:20
Speaker 7: you do then?
17:22

17:32

17:33
Speaker 3: Days ago, Eonline gave us an update about Carmen and
17:37
Speaker 3: Lupita Andrade, the conjoined twins, one of which Carmen recently
17:42
Speaker 3: announced she married twenty eight year old Daniel McCormick. In
17:47
Speaker 3: the fallout from that matrimony, Lupita, the other sister, swears
17:52
Speaker 3: she is single and is independent of their relationship and
17:56
Speaker 3: of their marriage. That being said, when it was time
18:00
Speaker 3: for a family vacation, they obviously went together because they're
18:05
Speaker 3: joined at the torso. But two weeks after the TikToker,
18:10
Speaker 3: who is a conjoined twin with sister Lupita, Carmen announced
18:14
Speaker 3: that she and husband Daniel McCormick tied the knot, and
18:17
Speaker 3: she shared a glimpse into their first summer together as
18:19
Speaker 3: a married couple and her July twenty fourth Instagram post,
18:23
Speaker 3: the twenty five year old twins enjoyed a relaxing canoe
18:26
Speaker 3: ride on a lake and their parents also tagged along.
18:29
Speaker 3: Carmen included a sweet photo of their dad smiling as
18:32
Speaker 3: he paddled the boat and Daniel, the husband, fishing as
18:35
Speaker 3: she described the outing last minute late evening con Lafamilia.
18:40
Speaker 3: True to their love of nature, Carmen and Daniel had
18:42
Speaker 3: been spending a lot of time together outside. In fact,
18:44
Speaker 3: the duo who met on Hinge in twenty twenty. That's
18:52
Speaker 3: when Hinge is more than the name.
18:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, on a boat, I mean they'd be handy on
18:58
Speaker 2: a boat.
18:58
Speaker 1: They've got three to sixty look, but that is that'd
19:04
Speaker 1: be awkward if they were both on you know, online
19:06
Speaker 1: dating profiles, you know, and you swiped right on one,
19:09
Speaker 1: left on the other, you got conjoined.
19:12
Speaker 3: Fished probably, I mean they are they are, you know, twins,
19:23
Speaker 3: but they they do look a little different, so yeah,
19:25
Speaker 3: they're not. They're not identical.
19:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the issue.
19:32
Speaker 2: They have a good side.
19:40
Speaker 3: They so there at least we have a little more
19:42
Speaker 3: info into the backstory of their relationship. They met on
19:45
Speaker 3: hinge h in twenty twenty. The rest of their romantic
19:53
Speaker 3: trip or I'm sorry. As for their most romantic trip,
19:57
Speaker 3: the couple exchanged their vals at the Lover's Leap Bridge
19:59
Speaker 3: in New Milford, Connecticut, last October. They later gushed over
20:03
Speaker 3: the experience on the Twins YouTube channel, noting the ceremony
20:05
Speaker 3: was a small get together with just local family.
20:14
Speaker 6: Well, there's just lovers Leap?
20:16
Speaker 5: Is that what it was called.
20:19
Speaker 3: It's a very well known bridge in the area.
20:21
Speaker 7: Okay, I was gonna say, if you jump, one's not
20:26
Speaker 7: gonna want to go.
20:30
Speaker 3: That's why they call it the Lover's Leap, and not
20:32
Speaker 3: to conjoin twins Leap because one's still hanging on.
20:43
Speaker 2: Yep. That first dance had to be really awkward.
20:47
Speaker 3: It's funny you mentioned that because I believe there was
20:51
Speaker 3: another couple that this happened. I need to check to
20:55
Speaker 3: see if this is a different couple or if in
20:57
Speaker 3: fact actually was the same couple. But uh, there was
21:01
Speaker 3: a couple that went viral on their first dance. It's
21:04
Speaker 3: the guy dancing with his wife and her sister that's
21:07
Speaker 3: conjoined to her is just kind of there. It might
21:11
Speaker 3: have been this, It might have been these people.
21:13
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
21:16
Speaker 5: Be you asked to cut in.
21:28
Speaker 3: H do they do they receive that question the same way?
21:37
Speaker 3: Or they think that you're offering your services as a surgeon?
21:47
Speaker 2: Wow?
21:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if they line, if they line dance,
21:51
Speaker 1: there's gotta be some great choreography there.

23:08
Speaker 3: I have lost my place because I was trying to
23:10
Speaker 3: remember where I wanted to start today because there's so
23:13
Speaker 3: much good stuff the news. Let's start with this. A
23:18
Speaker 3: school bus driver allegedly drove students while drunk, but he
23:24
Speaker 3: says that's not true because the smell of alcohol on
23:27
Speaker 3: his breath was actually Nike Will, old school Nike Will. Huh.
23:41
Speaker 3: I'm not driving your kids drunk around town on a
23:43
Speaker 3: school bus. I've just effed up on Nike Will.
23:47
Speaker 2: Just spy.
23:48
Speaker 3: How dare you accuse me of something so terrible? I've
23:57
Speaker 3: been driving these kids around, you know, for years, and
24:00
Speaker 3: you're gonna that one just actually kicked me right in
24:07
Speaker 3: the gut. Surprisingly, this was not Florida. This is Maple Lake, Minnesota.
24:11
Speaker 3: The school bus driver allegedly drove his students to school
24:14
Speaker 3: while intoxicated, later telling the police the alcohol the students
24:17
Speaker 3: smelled on him was from niquil. According to documents obtained
24:20
Speaker 3: by a local outlet, school resource officer for Maple Lake
24:24
Speaker 3: Schools was notified by his student that their bus driver
24:27
Speaker 3: smelled like alcohol. I would like to I hope that
24:30
Speaker 3: they said bus driver smells like mommy.
24:36
Speaker 2: I really do think that's got to be.
24:38
Speaker 1: The second visit you make is if you know how
24:43
Speaker 1: old did it say how all these kids are elementary?
24:47
Speaker 3: The officer contacted the bus company to do charging documents.
24:52
Speaker 3: Multiple students, multiple students under the age of sixteen. Didn't
24:56
Speaker 3: say how many students. So you're.
25:00
Speaker 2: If you're a kid, and you know what alcohol smells like.
25:04
Speaker 3: Through breath, like not just whiffing it out the top
25:08
Speaker 3: of the bottle, but mixed in with you know, human biology.
25:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can go, oh, Jack Daniel, single barrel.
25:24
Speaker 3: The bus driver smells like my mom Stanley or dad
25:32
Speaker 3: or dad at football practice. Yeah, it's a bit of
25:36
Speaker 3: a hint there. So he's in trouble. He's probably not
25:38
Speaker 3: going to be driving kids around anymore, if ever ever again.
25:44
Speaker 3: A woman filed for divorce because her husband decided he
25:48
Speaker 3: was Batman. I tell you you, you show me a
25:53
Speaker 3: man with a dream, and I'll show you a woman
25:55
Speaker 3: who wants to squash it. The first month of married
26:00
Speaker 3: life for this couple went smoothly, but then the husband
26:03
Speaker 3: started acting completely unhinged. Unhinged he would regularly roam the
26:09
Speaker 3: house in a Batman costume, force his wife to watch
26:12
Speaker 3: Batman movies, insist on being called Bruce Wayne, and disappear
26:16
Speaker 3: at night whenever he saw lights in the sky that
26:19
Speaker 3: he believed were the bat signal. The last straw came
26:23
Speaker 3: when the woman woke up in the middle of the
26:25
Speaker 3: night to find her husband in a Batman suit, standing
26:28
Speaker 3: in the dark and speaking in a deep, brooding voice.
26:32
Speaker 3: After that, she packed her things, went to her parents' house,
26:34
Speaker 3: and filed for divorce. I say for richer, for poorer,
26:38
Speaker 3: sickness and in health. Meet his superhero energy with your own.
26:43
Speaker 3: He's Batman, you'd be wonder woman.
26:48
Speaker 1: At least she didn't file assault charges on him.
26:56
Speaker 5: Me.
27:02
Speaker 3: That may be the best double on hundred joke slash
27:05
Speaker 3: punchline in the history of this program. And I am
27:08
Speaker 3: including every iteration of it, Sir, I am, I am
27:20
Speaker 3: shook right, Damn. Look, I don't know you know how
27:33
Speaker 3: they say that, Oh, I bet so and so is
27:35
Speaker 3: rolling over in their grave. Well I don't think you
27:38
Speaker 3: can roll over in your grave if you've been cremated.
27:40
Speaker 3: But I would like to think somewhere in a tube
27:43
Speaker 3: six feet beneath the surface of a cemetery in Garland, Texas,
27:48
Speaker 3: a little.
27:51
Speaker 2: Just occurred.
27:57
Speaker 3: Me.
27:58
Speaker 5: Man.
28:00
Speaker 3: All I want to do now is stop the show,
28:01
Speaker 3: go back and pull the audio and just listen to
28:04
Speaker 3: it for the rest of the day, maybe the rest
28:06
Speaker 3: of Black Friday, maybe the whole weekend.
28:13
Speaker 5: All right, well done.
28:21
Speaker 3: If I was wearing a hat, I would tip it
28:22
Speaker 3: to you. If I was wearing a cowl, I would
28:24
Speaker 3: rip it off and go as it is a couple
28:30
Speaker 3: more pieces of things to play with. The World's Strongest
28:47
Speaker 3: Woman is a man.
28:52
Speaker 5: It's a man.
28:53
Speaker 3: Man.
28:57
Speaker 2: That ain't no woman.
28:58
Speaker 8: It's a man man.
29:02
Speaker 3: I love twenty twenty five. I know things like this
29:06
Speaker 3: shouldn't make my heart happy, but they kind of do.
29:08
Speaker 3: Jammy Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the
29:13
Speaker 3: competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington
29:19
Speaker 3: over the weekend. The Official Games took place number twenty
29:24
Speaker 3: through twenty third in Arlington, featured hundreds of athletes across
29:27
Speaker 3: multiple divisions and competitions, with one of the biggest ones
29:30
Speaker 3: being the twenty twenty five World Strongest Woman. Jammy Booker,
29:34
Speaker 3: an alleged transgender athlete, was the one who came out
29:37
Speaker 3: on top. However, Jammy was disqualified after the competition, making
29:42
Speaker 3: Andrea Thompson the overall champion because it turns out Jammy
29:49
Speaker 3: was born a man and In the rules and regulations
29:52
Speaker 3: for the competition, it expressly states you have to compete
29:58
Speaker 3: with the gender of your birth. I know this is
30:01
Speaker 3: a hot topic in the world nowadays, and for some reason,
30:05
Speaker 3: this is you know, split along political ideologies, like everything
30:09
Speaker 3: seems to be these days. I have a simple solution,
30:12
Speaker 3: and please, Tray Jerry tell me if this is half cocked.
30:19
Speaker 3: You've got the male division, you've got the female division.
30:21
Speaker 3: And the controversy in these competitions arises when you've got
30:25
Speaker 3: someone that was a man at some point, or was
30:29
Speaker 3: born a man, transitions or is in the process of transitioning,
30:33
Speaker 3: and then competes in the woman's side and just destroys
30:36
Speaker 3: all the female competitors to take the top spot.
30:39
Speaker 5: Right.
30:40
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any examples of a female's you know,
30:43
Speaker 3: switching sides and dominating the men, at least not in
30:46
Speaker 3: competitive sports. Can we just have a third category, just
30:51
Speaker 3: have the trans category and let the trans athlete compete
30:55
Speaker 3: against themselves. And if you know what, because and here's
30:57
Speaker 3: the other thing to keep in mind across the world
31:01
Speaker 3: and competitions that happen every single day, the number of
31:05
Speaker 3: trans athletes competing in the opposite division of their birth
31:11
Speaker 3: is extremely small. So if you create a trans division
31:14
Speaker 3: for these competitions, you may have absolutely zero people in it,
31:19
Speaker 3: or you may have one. But at least that's the spot.
31:24
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a compromise. It's a solution for everybody,
31:28
Speaker 3: and we can get back to debating things that truly matter,
31:32
Speaker 3: and that is whether or not to wear crocs on
31:34
Speaker 3: an airline.
31:36
Speaker 1: That has been proposed and soundly rejected by the trans community.
31:40
Speaker 3: Because they don't want to be seen as something other
31:44
Speaker 3: than what they're wanting to be. Yes, well, I mean
31:47
Speaker 3: at a certain point you just got to face reality.
31:49
Speaker 1: Well, I think everyone is entitled to be happy. And
31:54
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what it's like to be born
31:56
Speaker 1: and not feel comfortable in your own skin and feel
31:58
Speaker 1: like you want to be someone else.
32:01
Speaker 2: And but one of.
32:04
Speaker 1: The things and quite frankly, it's really one of the
32:07
Speaker 1: things that is now, especially in the LGBT community, there
32:11
Speaker 1: has been a trend of you know, because most most
32:18
Speaker 1: trans people want to blend in, They want to be
32:21
Speaker 1: seen as normal, not and and I think this is
32:25
Speaker 1: an unfortunate deal of our age of the time we
32:28
Speaker 1: live in that there are a lot of people who
32:29
Speaker 1: want attention, but toss out the big One of the
32:33
Speaker 1: biggest bullshit things of the last ten years was the
32:36
Speaker 1: notion that there is no difference between sexes.
32:39
Speaker 3: Yes, there is. Everyone knows it absolutely.
32:42
Speaker 1: And to say that, you know, oh, you know, you
32:46
Speaker 1: grow you grow up as you know, a biological male,
32:49
Speaker 1: and then you decide to switch, well, you still have
32:51
Speaker 1: the benefits, especially if you're post pubescent, and quite frankly,
32:55
Speaker 1: no one prepubescent. Really, kids shouldn't be making this decision.
32:59
Speaker 1: You're you have the all the biological effects of being
33:02
Speaker 1: a male, which there is a difference, you know, I mean.
33:07
Speaker 3: Good and bad by the way, absolutely.
33:09
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the physical traits. Serena Williams
33:14
Speaker 1: is the greatest female athlete ever and and one of
33:17
Speaker 1: the top athletes of all time. But you know when
33:21
Speaker 1: she sat there and said, yeah, I would get smoked
33:23
Speaker 1: in straight sex sets by you know, my male counterparts,
33:28
Speaker 1: you have to know that there's a difference.
33:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's not putting down her entire gender. She's just
33:34
Speaker 3: speaking honestly about something that for the most part, well
33:37
Speaker 3: basically kind of know. And I'll tell you this right now,
33:40
Speaker 3: Like I love it when like idiot sports guys or
33:42
Speaker 3: just idiot guys in general say something as stupid as, oh,
33:47
Speaker 3: I could beat Serena Williams in a tennis match because
33:49
Speaker 3: I'm a guy. Bubba ba No, no, you couldn't. Joe Schlub, No,
33:52
Speaker 3: you couldn't. You know Andy Roddick, Yeah, he probably could.
33:56
Speaker 3: Pete Sampras would probably beat you know, the will him sisters.
34:01
Speaker 3: I'm not. No, I'm not gonna beat I'm not going
34:05
Speaker 3: to beat the lowest seed tennis player in the world.
34:08
Speaker 3: On the female side, I'm not. And so there are
34:10
Speaker 3: exceptions to these rules. But at the end of the day,
34:13
Speaker 3: when you're you know, talking about elite versus non and
34:18
Speaker 3: just male versus female, come on, common sense. Common sense
34:21
Speaker 3: can still be a thing without it being against somebody's thing.
34:26
Speaker 1: Sorry, but yeah, I saw you know, and the woman
34:32
Speaker 1: who has now been declared champion.
34:36
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, she walked off the podium.
34:39
Speaker 1: After this because and she was she was you could tell,
34:42
Speaker 1: just absolutely kind of disgusted. And you know, they worked
34:46
Speaker 1: their ass off for this and then all of a
34:48
Speaker 1: sudden you get outdone by someone who has a biological.
34:56
Speaker 2: I just drive, yeah, thank.
34:58
Speaker 3: You, you mean it, because look and this is the
35:04
Speaker 3: side of the show that we have to bring up
35:06
Speaker 3: because this is this is what we do. We'll talk
35:07
Speaker 3: about something kind of seriously, but then we have to
35:09
Speaker 3: bring our own twist to stupid on it. And that's
35:10
Speaker 3: what we're going to do here because I have these
35:13
Speaker 3: thoughts and I'm sure other people do as well. When
35:15
Speaker 3: you hear about a story like this where the World's
35:17
Speaker 3: Strongest Woman wins, where the person that won the World's
35:21
Speaker 3: Strongest Woman competition is a man, how'd they do that?
35:26
Speaker 3: Has this person who was born a male that competed
35:29
Speaker 3: in the female division of the World's Strongest Man? Have
35:31
Speaker 3: they gone through the complete change? Has has the wiener
35:34
Speaker 3: been extracted or is it still there?
35:38
Speaker 5: I don't know.
35:40
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know how closely they're checking,
35:42
Speaker 3: are they giving are they giving physicals before they lift
35:45
Speaker 3: weights on stage? But I know in these events they're extremely,
35:49
Speaker 3: extremely difficult, and I just wonder, like some of these athletes,
35:56
Speaker 3: like how do you keep it contained if you're not
35:59
Speaker 3: full switched like when you do Like one of these
36:04
Speaker 3: events in this competition was a log lift press, which
36:08
Speaker 3: is basically I think it's like a like a clean
36:10
Speaker 3: and jerk type of thing, And so you're picking up
36:13
Speaker 3: the log like a dead lift, and then you're kind
36:16
Speaker 3: of snatching it onto your thighs, and then you're standing
36:18
Speaker 3: up and then pressing it over your head. How do
36:21
Speaker 3: you keep your from flopping out at some point during
36:24
Speaker 3: that heavy lift?
36:26
Speaker 2: You never saw ace Ventura.
36:28
Speaker 3: That's a hell of a ton of tray. Neither Einhorn
36:35
Speaker 3: nor Pinkle. We're doing snatching cleans during the movie, basically
36:39
Speaker 3: just walking around.
36:39
Speaker 2: Really tight legged gut tape.
36:44
Speaker 3: Then that needs to be the next rog Man sponsor,
36:46
Speaker 3: because holy that's some good tape.
36:51
Speaker 2: It works for NASA.
36:55
Speaker 3: If it works for NASA, it'll keep your in place.
36:59
Speaker 3: It's perfect marketing for all things Treehouse.
