  Speaker 2: already have them with you right, Yes, I believe we're

  Speaker 2: close to sold out. I'm not sure.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I know people were trying to buy tickets last night
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: that were in line, like waiting for the meet and
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: greet with the buddy Adam Ray.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: They could not purchase tickets, so to where the Houston
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: improv there you go, Okay.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: So yeah, they couldn't buy tickets. So I don't know
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: if that was preferred seating that sold out, or if
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the show in general is sold out.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Worst case scenario, just hover around the door and try
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to sneak in somewhere and catch. Raj. Yeah, I'll fitch
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: in somewhere that sounds triable. You can try out of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: intriloquous act with a listener. Just sit here and move
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: your mouth when I stick my hand up your button.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: There you go. All right, Let's begin today with something
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that you missed, Raj on the tree House Plus episode
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: on Patreon. On our tree House Plus episode on Patreon,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Trey and I discussed a dark room hidden in Greece
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: for god knows how many years, and it is covered
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: floor to ceiling with spiders. And so I posed this
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: question on social media. Are you ready? Here we go?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You get one billion dollars if you can spend the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: night in here alone. Could you do it? The room
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about is the one that researchers discovered what
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: appears to be the world's largest spider web.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Ugh.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: This is in a pitch black cave in Greece. Scientists
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: found a stinking sponge spider web one hundred and eleven
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: thousand species of spiders, including two that were thought to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: be hostile towards one another. They even show cutting away
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the web that it reveals several layers underneath. So my
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: question holds Raj could you spend the night in this
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: cave for one billion dollars with one hundred eleven thousand spiders,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: just you and just them.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, spiders don't bug me, Like, I'm not scared of
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: spiders at all.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. Whether you're phobic or not about spiders.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Spending the night in a gas filled cave with one
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: hundred eleven thousand of them, I think you'll become phobic.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: They're at the very least, they're going to be annoying.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: So I I only had roommates in college one time,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: and I moved in to their place and I woke
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: up the first day, woke up and this one should
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: have been a sign. I woke up and there was
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: a spider in my mouth, A dead spider in my mouth.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, So now imagine one hundred eleven thousand of them
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: trying to get in there all at the same time.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I'm okay with it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Now, Okay, hold on, because if they like are they poisonous?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Because if some of the some of them bite you,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: like you can have like a brown recluse or something
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, I don't know. The the video that
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that we played that shows the cave and one hundred
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: eleven thousand spiders filling it. We don't know if they're
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: venomous or not. They're just in there. Yeah, gotcha, Yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I think I could do it, Trey, What about you?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: For one billion dollars, kid, could you spend the night
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in this spider cave in Greece for.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: A billion dollars?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I I For a billion dollars, I could do just
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: about anything.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think I clearly Trey's open for business. I'll
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: let just you know what, Trey's got a good point.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: He may let one hundred eleven thousand of just about
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: anything inside of him for a billion dollars. He's our
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Bonnie Blue.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You get a billion dollars, A can afford a lot
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of therapy, and B you can disappear.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: You know what? That makes sense? I guess for a
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: bill for that amount of money, Trey would Trey would
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: pull a Scrooge McDuck into a pile of dicks, so
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the spiders would be easy. What's say? I can't unsee
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that now? You'll never watch that show the same way again.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think I could. I mean, I would love
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to say I tried. Look, I'll be honest, I would try,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Like you said, Trey, I would try just about anything
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: if you offer me a billion dollars. I don't know
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: if I could spend the night in that spider cave.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: But you have a fear of spiders, right, I mean
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: it's not like a phobia thing. But I don't want
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: them crawling on me. Okay, I don't want one crawling
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: on me, let alone one hundred eleven thousand of them.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now the one caveat of that is if they
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: are highly poisonous like brown recluse or then no, I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: don't not for certain death.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Your next of ken will get a billion dollars.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: So no, yeah, yeah I want the billion.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm with Tray on that one.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Like if they're yeah, like black widows or you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: like we're saying, like like things that can literally kill
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you that right there?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Uh no, Yeah, if this cave was in Australia, no,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: because I'm just gonna assume that's automatic death.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. God, can you imagine what a what a death
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: cave in Australia would look like because Australia is out
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: in the open about everything that wanted to kill you.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Imagine something finding imagine finding something hidden. How bad that
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: must be.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean they have jellyfish that are the
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: size of your like pinky nail that can kill you
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: in Australia.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I'm actually really surprised that you guys
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: would would do this for a billion dollars. Yeah. Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I've done a lot worse for a lot less. I
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: know you're in Houston right now, exactly, I'm not, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: for a billion dollars. I'm not sure if i'd rather
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: be in Houston or inside that spider filled cave.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I don't even know whose room this is, but he
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: seems nice.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Please tell me his name is Charlotte. Mister Charlotte. He's
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: not answering, Oh man, I yeah, I can't.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I know I've had your wife, can Your wife wouldn't
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: be able to do it, right, Like, she's got a
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: huge phobia of like crickets and roaches and stuff like that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Right, roaches, Yes, there's no way she could she could
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: do that in a room. I'm not I'm not sure
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: she could spend the night in a room with one
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: roach for a billion dollars. Really, yeah, that is how
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: bad she is, Like she is like a lot of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: people will say they're phobic about things when they're really not.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Tara really is, in real life actually phobic when it
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: comes to roaches. Did I tell you about the time
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I had to come home from work to save her
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: from one? No, Luckily for her. It was when I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: lived only like five minutes from the radio station. But
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: it was middle of the days, like around lunchtime, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Tarah calls me, which was very rare, like she's calling
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: me at work, so something must be wrong. And I
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: answered and she's like, you have to come home. There's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a roach. You have to come home. There's a roaches.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what what? Trying to gather all the information
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: being thrust upon me, It's like, okay, I got it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, do you know where it is?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: She's like yeah, I was able to get a cup
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: on it or something. It's like okay. So I go
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: down elevator, parking garage, car, drive home and she is
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: sitting on the edge of the bed. This our apartment
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: at the time, the open bedroom door could look into
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the open bathroom door and you could see sitting on
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the edge of the bed with her knees to her chest,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: staring at this cup. I think it was a Dicky's
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: cup that she was able to put over the top
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: of this roach in the bathroom, and she did not
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: move her eyes from it the entire time until I
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: got there to remove the roach.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: What happened when she was growing up? Like, what happened?
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Something had to triggered this.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I agree. I think something did happen, But I don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: want to ask her because I feel like at this
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: point I don't want to open up that old wound.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Or perhaps she has repressed it to such a level
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: that she doesn't even remember it. It's just in her
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: subconscious to be that afraid of roaches, so that's definitely
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: a trauma. I don't want to explore. If she has
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: repressed it to the point to where she doesn't remember it,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I think it's best to let it stay forgotten.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I'm that way with wasps, like I don't first of all,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I don't understand what they're for, Like, they don't do anything,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: They don't contribute to anything.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: You're talking about the winged flying insects, not the white
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I mean growing up in mis Guie, you have reasons
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to be afraid of wasps.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I was allergic to wasp. I wouldn't be on this show.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: There's two staring at me right now. No. When I
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: was a kid, I was attacked by my buddy AJ
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: lived next door. Here's my best friend, God rest his soul,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: but he like there was a huge wasps nest and
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: he knocked it down with a broom And I remember
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: going next door and just like ringing the doorbell and
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: his sister answered.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I was like, h here, and she's like, no, he's
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: on the side of the house.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: So I start walking to the side of the house
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: and I only hear is run and I get attacked
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: by like a swarm of wasps to my ear. And
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: my mother luckily was outside and she was watering the
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: lawn so she had the hose out, so she actually
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: got to be like, hose me down.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: But after that, like, I can't if I see a wasp,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I'll freak out.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: So I know where my trauma comes from. Yeah, yeah,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the the closest I have to That is a dream
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I had as a kid. And this is another great
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: example of how weird my brain is. Okay, I remember
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: a dream I had as a kid when I was
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: like five. This is a dream I remember being at
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: my grandmother's house in Tulsa. At the time. I'm outside
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: in the driveway playing and a car pulls up in
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the cul de sac and the car doesn't even stop,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: but the passenger door just opens, and out of it
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: crawls a massive spider, like big tarantula spider that just
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: jumps out of this moving car like it's the fast
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and furious, running directly at me. And it was so
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: terrifying I woke up. But the point is is that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: dream shook me so hard at the age of five
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that forty one years later, I still remember it like
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I had the dream five minutes ago. Wow.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: You know what surprises me with Tara is because I
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: used to be really afraid of roaches, But after years
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of working in the service industry, which anytime you have
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: food around, you're going to see roaches like you just
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: become immune to it. Rats not so much. I like
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: rats bother me deeply.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I hope they don't bother you deeply, hopefully not too deep.
• 13:26

  Speaker 2: Let's talk to Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: eight three three cook DFW to get your free roof
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: inspections scheduled, or to get a quote on an interior
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: or exterior home project that they are capable of doing.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Eight three three cook DFW Daniel. You're on roofs every
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: single day. You're in people's homes every single day outside
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: doing all sorts of projects. Any unseen consequences of the job.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Coming every day is a special day in my life.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Sometimes it's smashing your hand in the ladder. Sometimes it's
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: picking up buckets of debris or something like that and
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: stepping on a nail.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: You know, it's worked hazards. You know that's as common.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: But yesterday I was on a commercial project and actually
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: was trying to get an inspection passed by the city,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: and the installers of the fire sprinkler system missed a
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: couple of places where they had to add the piping
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: going through the tilt walls, and you have to fire
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: block those holes after their cut to prevent you know, obviously,
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: fire from spreading the one side of the building to
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: the other. And the canister that I was spraying unfortunately
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: backfired on me and it got that spray foam all
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: over my hand, and so my hand looked like it
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: was a solid orange puff of like like those orange
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: puffs that you eat, except up it won't come off.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: And now now I'm still having to scrape the stuff
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: off physically. And then my hand was tacky. I couldn't
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: touch anything for like an hour because it would leave
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: a residue. So I was trying to drive home single
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: like opening my door, drive with the home with one
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: hand while keeping this hand somewhat in the air, trying
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: to make sure I don't touch anything. So yep, day
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: to day fun things that happened in the field.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: So you glazed your fingers.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: They look like orange glaze.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Yep, I'm guessing they don't taste like it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Accidentally got that. I was trying to gnaw a piece
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: off and I accident got it. It tastes like WD
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: forty mm.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Despite those little consequences, Daniel is outstanding at his job
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: in very thorough. So thorough did he spray that phone
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: that he got his own hand, so his hand is
• 15:50

• 16:38
  Speaker 2: How long have you and your girlfriend been together? Now?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Six seven weeks? How long have you and your mother
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: been around fifty one years and some change. Will your
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: new girlfriend ever meet your mother? No? Well really why?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Because my mother is a horrible person and would not
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: only will she not meet my mother, I don't will
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: not even tell my mother I'm in a relationship because
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I know that will uh be a catalyst for her
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to just absolutely drive me thatshit crazy.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: You don't want to give your mother any more ammunition
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: for anything to ruin your life?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I just I have a very long track record
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: of knowing that when I am in a relationship, my
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: mother will even though I can't stand her, she feels
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: threatened by it and then wants to see if she
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: can monopolize my time and call me, you know, just
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: come up with the dumbest things to try to take
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: up my time. Now as years have passed, I have,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I have. When I was younger, I didn't really realize
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this pattern and so it created problems. But I'm now
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: old enough to know better. But no, In fact, I've
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: already told Brandy. I was like, you will probably never
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: meet my mother.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Ever. Was she okay with that? Was she kind of relieved?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've told her enough that yeah, probably, But
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I mean she at least understands that it's.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Nothing good will come of it.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want, you know, I don't like the holidays
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: because my mother ruined them, and uh like, so I've
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: explained to her, especially with everything going on with her
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: right now and the fact that she has now run
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: out of money and I have to figure stuff out,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I know she's gonna make this last these last. This
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: year's holiday is absolutely miserable. So I'm like, it's not personal.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I'm like, and thank God, my saving grace with a
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: lot of this is my stepmother. You know, has been
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: around long enough that she she's the one person who
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: can say, you know, yeah, if I hadn't seen it,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe this either.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: But it's that left up. And keep in mind, Trey's
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: stepmom is the one that wanted Trey's stepmom is the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: one that would rub ground beef on the car when
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: they would go to the Lion Country Safari, not because
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: she wanted Trey dead, but because she wanted to help
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: get a good show for the boy. If Trey's mom
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: was rubbing, or how about this, if Trey's mom had
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: a package of ground beef at Lion Country Sofari, she
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: would rub it on Trey. Say, George Wild rub it
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: on her as well, adult Trey would do that. Yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Trey's idea of a place for mom is different than
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: what the commercial says. Very I mean, I can think
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: of it. I could think of a number of places
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: that would have a bit of a slant where Trey
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: would prefer to leave his mother where most people are
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: told that they're supposed to do with theirs. Interesting, okay,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: and she's okay with that. So so.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: She's gonna do the holidays by herself. I guess because
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: you don't you don't want it. She has family, uh,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: you know, around here, and so.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I just explained to her the situation I'm gonna I
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was pretty upfront about it on the front end, like
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I don't ever want you to I I now have
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you know, fifty years of data to go. I don't
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: need you. You know, you're not missing out anything by
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: not ever meeting my mom. Yeah, and there's no no best.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: The best thing that comes out of it is a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: neutral outcome, but the chances are it's a very negative outcome.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: It's like, why why screw things up?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that makes sense. Why mess with it? And
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I do think it's interesting because I'm
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: sure that there's some women that might see it differently,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that might see it as, ooh, this is a red flag.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: He's got a you know, a bad relationship with his
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: mom or whatever. Uh. That was actually one of the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: things that bonded me and Tarror together was difficult relationships
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: with our mothers. And instead of instead of that being
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: a red flag in her eyes, it was it was
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: a green flag. Huh. So at the end of the day,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: it's all about you know, just kind of finding your
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: person whoever you are compatible with. Whereas you Raj, you
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: had you know, you have a different You had a
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: different relationship with your mother than the trade does with his.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we got to be friends a few
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: years before she passed away. But growing up, you know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: she suffered from severe PTSD from being the war in India.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: She was stabbed in both k needs by Pakistani soldiers
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and left to die and all this stuff. So she
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: was horribly abusive and didn't remember anything. And it was
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: actually the improv in Addison is she came out with
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: a bunch of her girlfriends and I did this joke
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: about getting my ass kicked within with an extension cord
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: and she's like, you can't tell that joke. That's that
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: didn't happen. I was like that, I can pick it out.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I know exactly which extension court in the garage it is.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Let's go Homember.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And she like, I remember coming back home the
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: next day to have lunch with her, and she was
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: still sitting in the same spot, the same clothes from
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: the night before, and she's like, I remember remember everything now,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. And then we became friends so we
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: would go have lunch like three or four times a week.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: But prior to that note, prior to that, we absolutely
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: had no relationship at all. Like my dad would have
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: to call me in college and be like, can you
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: please call your mother?
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: You haven't talked to her weeks. Here, I'll give you so.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: At one point, I was in seventh grade and I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: went to the school counselor to talk about something, and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: she noticed that I had welts on my leg from
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: where my mother had taken a phone cord. If you're
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: probably under forty, may not remember that, But a phone cord,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the phone cord that went from the wall to the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: actual phone ray then.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: A straight one uh huh and uh with absolutely zero
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: give yeah, and my mom had beaten the crap out
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: of me with one the night before, where I had
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: welts all over my leg.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Well, the school counselor saw this and obviously had to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: do something about it, as as they do.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And something say something.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she had to call CPS and everything else. To
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: this day, my mother will blame me for having CPS called.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: On Woh, yeah, that is next level. See here's how
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: gangs to. My mom wants She's like, you want to.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'll call CPS. She's like, I'll die
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: the number. Oh no, that was my dad. My dad
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, oh okay, yeah, he goes. That's fine,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: he goes because here's the thing. I'll get out sooner
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: or later. That's what I'm coming back home, all right.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Mother was a nurse, she was a caregiver.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: That's actually that actually could then I might actually be
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the worst possible scenario, because that means she could heal
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: you and then and then hurt you all over again,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: just in a horrible cycle.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I used to ask her all the time.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like, are you this meat, Like to like, are
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: you do you treat your patients like you treat me?
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Because I would hate to go to your hospital.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So look, I don't mean to one up you guys.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I know we're sharing some severe mother issues and trauma,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: but I feel compel to rise. Your mom beat you
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: with electrical cord, tray, your mom beat you with the
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: straight phone cord, the one that went from you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the phone to the wall. My mom actually beat me
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: with an electrical pole, went outside, ripped it right out
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: of the ground and just beat me. Stupid. It was
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: so bad. It was even written into an episode of
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Highway to Heaven and Michael Landon gave up halfway through.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: What a weird way to reference Highway to Heaven it was.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I loved that show. I thought to myself when I
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: would watch that show, I wish he'd walk by my house.

  Speaker 2: All right, here we go, last little bit here inside
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: the treehouse. I believe it was last week now. Last week,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Texas Governor Greg Abbot announced he will go for a
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: fourth term as governor of Texas. The announcement is, of
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: course not a surprise, but the headline that CBS used
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: on TV last week certainly was because the chiron across
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the screen reads Governor Greg Abbot to
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: run for fourth term. If we're being honest, it can't
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: really be mad at CBS eleven for staying Greg Abbott
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: is running for a term, especially when his campaign slogan
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: is let's roll It's just too good. So obviously he's
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: aware if he's using the campaign slogan let's roll with
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the font of that being in italics, as
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: if to show motion forward. It is common for news
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: stations to say someone is running for election or re election.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: But obviously Greg Abbott hasn't run anywhere since that tree
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: landed on him so many years ago when he was running.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: While running, Yeah, you know how big of an a
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: hole you have to be for God to throw a
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: tree at you.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: He didn't throw it at him. He just uprooted it.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, the next thing you should do is buy
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: a lottery ticket, because the odds of getting hit by
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: a tree.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: The moment that you run under it, it is small. Yeah,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: it is very very small. Yeah. But as Trey helped
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: helped me with this, because you're a political science expert
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: here inside the treehouse. I before this, before this, Governor
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Abbott running for his fourth term. Before this, I thought
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: that Texas had a term limit on governor. I thought
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: it was like three. But I guess there's not.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: There's not, And yeah, I'm kind of with you. I
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: kind of thought I thought there was one too, but
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: there there is not. Because the last time I even
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: remember someone going, Perry had taken over for Bush and
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: then ran two more times, and I kind of thought
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: that was it for him.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, no, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised that there's no
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: there's no term limit for governor of Tech. So I
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: am actually very curious to see what Abbot will prioritize
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: in his fourth term, especially on the heels of the
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: successful campaign to get those dangerous rainbows out of the crosswalks,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: standing up for the people. Really, Trey, I expect more
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: out of you. You're the resident Republican in here. You're
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the republican. RAJ is the bleeding heart liberal, and I'm
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: the even killed independent. Mm hmm okay, on the independent.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: We agree on more things Dan than than the train.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I agree on. The thing is though, that I'm really
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: curious is in his fourth term, is Governor gonna take
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: his war on rainbows to another level? Like? You know
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: what this actually? I think this could actually be a treehouse.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Top five The top five rainbow related things Governor Abbott
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: will get rid of in his fourth term as governor?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Number one, No more Rainbow care Bear. Oh cares too much,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: get rid of it. It's it's it's it's a furry
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: and doctrinator. That's what the Rainbow care Bear is got
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: to get rid of. That. Also, no more hits by
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the band Rainbow. That's just too dangerous. That's too much fun.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Can't be singing rainbow songs. Also, no more skittles because
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: they want you to taste the rainbow, and well we
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: know what that means. Also, is there a deal in
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: place with the leprechaun so we can't get his lucky
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: charms because they're at the end of a rainbow. I
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: thought it was a pot of gold at the end
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: of a rainbow, right, yeah, that too. Whatever, it's a
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: rainbow in there and it's on it's on a kid cereal.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I assume Abbot is against it, because then that's just
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: a doctrination. Owes, it's little Gaye charms.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I figured you were gonna go ahole different direction and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: he was just gonna send ice for the leprechauns.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Well, it depends on what color they are secure that border. Yeah.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Also in his fourth term, I assume Governor Abbott will
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: absolutely positively disallow reading rainbow sorry LeVar Uh. In fact,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: no more rainbows at all of any kind anywhere for
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: any reason in the state of Texas, including the sky.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: If you see a rainbow, or god forbid, a double rainbow,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: that's when you call ice trade. Okay, you can show
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: up and they can they can zip cuff the rainbow
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: and haul it off to rainbow Alcatraz. Oh Greg Abbits,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: God bless Texas.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I do like so like you see him in the
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: in the picture, like he's looks like he's standing, like
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: he's got the wheelchair that does that like lifts him up,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: like to he looks like he's standing, doesn't.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I've never seen that, always sawt he's just in his
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: normal chair. Yeah.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I thought there was just a short I mean, I
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: hate to say it, a very short electern.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Which like it actually like stands him up, so he
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: looks like he's standing.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know exactly what we were talking about. My
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: My uncle Milford had one of those Milford I've told
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: you about him before. He was the one who was
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: married to my great grandmother Glick, the racist with the
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: thin lips.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Your uncle was, Uh no, Dan, I think we we
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: we haven't.

• 34:14
  Speaker 2: great grandmother. That's just what we called him. I don't
• 34:17

• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Texas as a kid. It was thrust on me, kind
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: of like the incontinence that uncle Milford suffered from because
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: of the motorized scare would stand him up, it just
• 34:40
