2:23
There is controversy that has brewed in North Texas. I am specifically discussing
2:34
the Sherman Independent School District. Okay, it is never good in my experience,
2:39
it is never good for a Texas school district to make national news.
2:45
I don't think a Texas school district has ever made national news for something good.
2:51
The old maybe when they do those solar powered race things at Texas Motor
2:58
Speedway, but I'm not even sure that makes national news. Local news.
3:01
Yes, it's where the kids have like an engineering program and they go and
3:05
make like these solar cars and they see how many times it can go around
3:08
the track at TMS. I've never heard of that. Okay, so then
3:15
that's definitely not national stuff. But then again, you went to Mesquite schools
3:16
rash that that is true. I think that was reserved for like I think
3:22
like the south Lake kids. Yeah for sure, yeah, like now south
3:25
Lake has made national news, but it definitely was not for the engineering students.
3:30
Mosquite just discovered fire. So that's it said it was a national national
3:38
scandal or something happened with the national I just saw the first thing. I
3:43
think when you say that in North Texas, I was like, did Randy
3:46
Travis show up naked and drunk in a church? Again? Look what happened?
3:49
Uh? You know what though, if he did, right now he
3:53
has he has the excuse on his side. Yeah. When you have when
3:57
you have a stroke of that magnitude, you can do anything you want because
4:00
they go, well, it's always Randy Travis stroke. No, I'll set
4:17
them up tree, you knock them down. No, you really can't.
4:36
Uh that I could that. We're gonna see him on the news tomorrows.
4:44
Like Mall said, I can do it podcast that I get away with anything
4:46
I want because I had a massive stroke. Ignorance is not a defense of
4:54
breaking the law. I've learned that from a rock and roll attorney, Evert
4:58
Newton. Yeah, or unless you're a super wealthy, then sometimes I can
5:01
actually work in your favor. I didn't know money laundering and tax evasion,
5:05
and you know insider training was illegal. There is controversy in North Texas.
5:15
If you guys heard about what's going on in Sherman No perfect, Well,
5:23
a transgender Texas student was kicked out of the lead role of his high school
5:27
musical after the principal introduced a new gender casting policy. Yes, I did
5:31
read about this, So the short version, in addition to what I just
5:36
said, the trans student has been kicked out of the lead role of the
5:40
high school production of Oklahoma over a gender policy. You know this. This,
5:46
This is where I go back to saying it's never a good thing when
5:49
a Texas or really any school district goes national. The good stuff stays local,
5:55
the bad stuff goes national, and in this case, it may end
5:58
up going international because news is international these days. But Max high Tower,
6:03
as senior at Sherman High School, learned just last month that he landed the
6:08
starring male role in the school's production of Oklahoma. But the seventeen year old's
6:14
excitement did not last long. Max's father, Phillip says to NBC five,
6:18
I'm not an activist. I'm not highly political. I have both liberal and
6:23
conservative beliefs. I'm just a dad that wants to fight for his kid.
6:27
Two weeks after Max was cast his family was notified by the school's principle of
6:30
a new policy about casting by gender, and High Tower, as well as
6:33
other students, lost their roles in the production. Philip the dad said,
6:40
and he said, we're instituting a new policy where only males can play males
6:44
and only females can play females. The Sherman isd said the performance of Oklahoma
6:48
will be under review and has been postponed to January of next year. The
6:54
district set in a statement there is no policy on how students are assigned to
6:59
roles, although it sounds like there is, so go figure. The district
7:04
explained that the production was under review because it contained mature adult themes, profane
7:09
language, and sexual content. Unfortunately, all aspects of the production need to
7:14
be reviewed, including content, stage, production, and props casting as well
7:16
to ensure that the production is appropriate for the high school stage. They're doing
7:21
Oklahoma. Yeah, yes, I'm trying to think of what's inappropriate in the
7:26
musical Okla. The whole thing it sucks. That's not right, Trey,
7:33
remember the last episode. It's not necessarily that something sucks. It's just not
7:38
your cup of tea, just because it's your homeland. Just because it's your
7:41
homeland. But let's not. No, don't you dare. Don't you dare
7:46
force that on me, Trey. I can't help where I was born.
7:49
I can help where I live, and I have clearly rectified that. Yeah,
7:54
but you also said St. Thomas, sorry St. John Now Trey,
8:01
not Tulsa. When my mom took me when my parents divorced when I
8:05
was nine and we moved from northeastern Oklahoma to Dallas. At first, I
8:11
was very upset, and after a few years I was still upset because I
8:15
miss my dad. But then I realized this is way better. Texas was
8:18
way better than Oklahoma. Oklahoma, especially the part where I lived for a
8:22
short period of time. The fact that someone made a musical out of the
8:26
state is probably the most shocking thing. But you know, it's been almost
8:28
one hundred years since the play that the musical was inspired by came out.
8:37
Yeah, I mean I thought the first production of Oklahoma was like musically was
8:41
in the fifties. I mean it's for film. Yes, it won an
8:46
Oscar in nineteen fifty five for the first movie adaptation of the musical Oklahoma.
8:52
And because of this story, I now know more about the musical production of
8:54
Oklahoma than I ever wanted to know. But here we are. I learned
8:58
it, and now I'm going to force it upon you. Guys. Well,
9:00
we're not really worried about that. Dan. In about an hour,
9:01
you'll forget it all. So it's all good. While I remember it,
9:05
I'm going to make you hear. So. It was based on a play
9:09
that came out in nineteen thirty one In Oklahoma is a set in pre statehood
9:16
Claire Moore, Oklahoma, and it set in nineteen oh six, and then
9:24
it eventually became a stage production in the forties, and then a movie in
9:30
the fifties which it won an Oscar and countless stuff since then to where either
9:35
you love it or as Trey says, it sucks because it's about Oklahoma.
9:37
I guarantee you. Had it been a musical about the Texas Longhorns, Trey
9:41
would be marching up and down Main Street Oklahoma's you could call it Texas and
9:48
it still would suck. It's just a crappy musical. I mean, and
9:52
I am someone I grew up. My grandmother loved the Dallas summer musicals.
9:56
I grew up. I went to I saw some great. Got to see
10:01
You'll Brenner, Carol Channing. Anyway, Oklahoma is just a awful music.
10:05
I mean, it's just sucks. It's old and it sucks. What is
10:09
your favorite musical? Trade favorite musical? Rent was good based on that answer,
10:22
right, and I based on that Based on the answer of Rent,
10:26
I'm expecting the principle of this Sherman school to come pluck you out of the
10:28
treehouse and say you're not allowed to be in here because of the stage production
10:33
you just mentioned. Having grown up not too far away from Sherman, that
10:37
would not surprise me. I'm yeah, and it does it. Honestly,
10:43
it doesn't surprise me that they're saying they, you know, they need to
10:46
review Oklahoma because it's you know, racy and profane. Yeah, that's what
10:50
I mean. That's what Sherman is right next to Oklahoma. And let's also
10:54
keep in mind, let's let's keep an eye when they're saying, oh,
10:56
well, this is under no, no, no, I know what it
10:58
is. This school district is covering its ass. I have no doubts about
11:01
that. The principal came in and said, we're not having the trans kids
11:05
playing opposite roles and further confirming these you know, gender roles out of the
11:13
norm blah blah blah stuff. He wasn't going to have it happen on his
11:16
watch, and the school district realizes, oh, you screwed up, But
11:20
now we have to come up with a legitimate excuse for your behavior. And
11:22
that is no, no, no, no, no no. It's not
11:24
that the principal didn't want the trans kid, you know, playing curly in
11:28
the in in the musical. Instead, the content of Oklahoma is, oh,
11:33
we got to take a look at this. It's it's it's it's pretty
11:35
sketchy, you know, it's it's I mean, I review the whole thing.
11:39
It's I mean, it's practically born. I'm I will agree with Tree,
11:43
that's it. For Sherman, that would be a really racy musical like
11:48
it's it's it's, I mean, it is what it is like. They
11:50
just need to what they should have done, in my opinion, is asked
11:54
the other actors if they're okay with that person that person playing in that role,
12:01
and if they're not comfortable, then you cast somebody that is, or
12:03
vice versa. But there are there are so many problems with this particular story.
12:11
Not the least of which is when you're when everyone's worried about this,
12:16
you know, uh, you know trans kids, this, trans kids,
12:18
that, trans people in general, they're coming for your kids type of stuff.
12:22
Oh yeah, that type of hysteria has now gotten to the point where
12:24
you can't have a high school student play the role of an opposite gender in
12:30
a school production, while keeping in mind it is extremely commonplace for women to
12:35
play Peter Pan in musicals. Yes, it doesn't mean that you're endorsing the
12:41
gay lifestyle or that you're now flying and wrapping yourself in a rainbow flag.
12:45
Sometimes it might be just as simple as we only had so many kids auditioned
12:50
for this production, and because of that sum a year, are going to
12:54
have to cross dress. But you know what, it's called acting. Yeah,
12:56
but what like that's that happens in all boys schools, is what?
13:00
Yeah, they they'll they'll have a male playing a female lead. So,
13:05
and keep in mind it used to be back in the day women weren't even
13:07
allowed on stage. It was all male performers, or as they called it,
13:11
the good old days. I just, I just I don't understand and
13:22
that and the trans issue is one of the more complex issues, and and
13:26
and I understand that that there are legitimate concerns when it comes to athletics.
13:31
I do understand that, yes, yeah, why you muddy the water.
13:37
It's a musical. Let the most talented person. You know, Yes,
13:39
that correct, that right there, that right theratory you hit the nail on
13:43
the head, because that was the other angle of the story that bothers the
13:46
hell out of me, which is the hypocrisy with some of these outrage things.
13:50
Uh, someone who probably believes that affirmative action is bad, they they
13:56
would say, let the person attending university that's the most qualified. Let the
14:01
person get the job who's the most qualified, not because they're a minority or
14:05
they're that. However, don't you dare put that trans kid in the role
14:09
of Curly in Oklahoma? That level of hypocrisy, to me is mind blowing.
14:13
You can believe everything you want to believe, and I don't take beliefs
14:16
away from anybody. You're allowed to believe what you believe, but let's not
14:20
do so in the face of common sense. You know, Yeah, yeah,
14:24
but they can't play a part. Yes, but then and then what
14:28
happens here now? And what people don't understand with this day and age and
14:31
social media and visibility and things like that. Now you've put this kid out
14:37
there, so now he's going to get support from on one side of vision
14:41
and then all the hate and grief from the other side, and it's just
14:46
gonna compound and just land on this kid's head. And it's so unim That's
14:50
why that right there is the reason why the principle screwed up. I don't
14:54
care what your beliefs are on trans rights or anti trans rights. At the
14:58
end of the day, this is a major, not only pr issue,
15:01
but possibly a constitutional issue that this principle has has ripped the lid off of
15:09
because you you gotta have more common sense, you have to have more awareness.
15:16
Thinking before you act is something schools typically teach students. So it's really
15:22
unfortunate when the administrators and the teachers don't use it themselves, because common sense,
15:26
for this principle would have said, if I do this, yeah,
15:31
X y Z will follow consequence. You know, actions have consequences. And
15:35
now it's a world of muck for Sherman isd we and I mean and I
15:41
do. I can assure you that they're some part of this administrator's thought process
15:48
was we're in Sherman, No one's gonna you know, who's who's gonna gives
15:52
it? Rats ask what goes on up here? Not realize you know,
15:54
which even twenty years ago is a would be a legitimate thing because you know,
16:00
only the Sherman Dennison news. Really is that ever gonna come Sherman Dennison.
16:03
And but now with you know, social media, Internet and the you
16:08
know most next to you know, Gaza, probably the most controversial issue we
16:14
face today, you're gonna get some attention and it's unwanted. And not only
16:19
that, but now you're promoting Oklahoma and that's the worst damn part about it.
16:27
Thank you, thank you for understanding this, and thank you for being
16:33
here for my Ted talk. You're listening to the tree House. Visit us
16:47
online that Treehouse on air dot Com. Time now for Rodney Anderson to jump
16:56
in the Treehouse. Nine is his phone number, the website Rodney Anderson dot
17:02
com. You know, I've seen the news lately, Rodney. All the
17:04
financial experts, the big names, you know, it's the Dave Ramseys,
17:07
the Susie Ormands. They're saying, hey, you have got to get out
17:11
of debt. That's what they're telling people. But I want to go to
17:14
my friend and my confidant, and that's you, Rodney, So what do
17:17
you think? Are they right? They're absolutely one hundred percent right, because
17:19
you have to ask yourself do you like making the banks rich or would you
17:23
rather you be rich? And so many people are sitting there in credit card
17:29
debt. Now student loans are getting ready to start up DAN. So many
17:32
people have also consolidated credit card debt into other debt vehicles where they have large
17:37
installment payments every single month. The one thing that I know gets in people's
17:41
way is debt, especially this high interest rate credit card debt. The average
17:45
rate right now in America twenty four percent. Most people are above average in
17:49
that area. We saw a client last week. They had a thirty six
17:52
percent medical card that they owed ten thousand dollars on Maagine that thirty six percent.
17:57
So we did a cash out, reads put all their debt together into
18:02
one payment, and now they have one mortgage payment. That's it. Lastly,
18:06
DAN, credit card debt is killing people's credit scores. Literally, when
18:10
you have credit card debt, when it's maxed out, are you even close
18:12
to being maxed out. The credit card companies have are the credit barrels have
18:17
changed the algorithm, so there's some bigger emphasis on credit card debt. Don't
18:21
wait until it's too late. The reason why I say that, we've got
18:23
clients calling us for cash out refinances that we can't do their loans down because
18:29
they've waited so long that their credit scores have dropped and now they're not even
18:33
eligible. Don't wait until it's too late. Listen to Rodney. The man
18:36
knows what he's talking about. He's been doing this for more than forty years.

20:25
telling me before we got started to you said, you're having a bit of
20:27
a back issue. Man, I can relate to that. What's going on?
20:30
Oh yeah, my psiatica is just kicking it. Uh it's Roger.
20:37
No, Okay, I'm glad you. I'm glad you haven't because one,
20:41
I'm glad you haven't, and two, I know typically when someone hears someone
20:48
like Trey or myself, because I too have had a sciatic issue Trey,
20:52
when someone like us says my sciatica is acting up, I think a lot
20:56
of people see that and kind of dismiss it, like okay, But when
21:02
you know, when you've experienced it, then your empathy and sympathy goes through
21:08
their Rooks. Yeah, I kind of got a lucky feel for you.
21:11
I got kind of lucky early on in that sense. It was years ago,
21:15
and I think it was nineteen ninety four. I was in Speaking of
21:18
Oklahoma. I wasn't doing musical, but I was in theater at Richland I'll
21:22
give you the U and they were replacing the velvet curtains and they bundled them
21:30
up and I didn't realize just how heavy they were because they were the folding
21:33
theater curtains. Yeah, and I and I just remember they're like, hey,
21:40
we got it. I was a they called it a production assistant,
21:42
but I was just basically making four dollars an hour, four dollars and twenty
21:45
five cents an hour, and I thought I was a millionaire. Uh,
21:48
just working hours a week at the junior college. So I just went over
21:52
and I saw I saw like two guys. They were a little bit smaller,
21:56
but they were two people picking these curtains up. And I was like,
21:57
I got this. And I bent over it and just not from the
22:00
legs, just straight with my back and locked it up pretty bad. And
22:06
so I started doing chiropractic then. And then I had an incident in college
22:15
where I the tailbone is where your cocksis, was running and I was on
22:22
grass and didn't realize there was a pothole, so I went straight leg into
22:26
a pothole and then my my cock sicks shifted. So from the I had
22:33
to go back to chiropractical and after that, like I would just and I
22:36
still do it, like once a month or once every two months. I'll
22:38
go and see a chiropractor and get adjusted. Pray. Have you ever had
22:41
your cocksix adjusted? I've had adjustments. I don't know if they've really focused
22:48
on my cocksis or not. I don't do it in Sherman. Know that
22:53
you will. You'll be flogged for that. In Sherman, you're a having
23:00
worked in a chiropractic clinic for for a few years. In my younger life,
23:03
I've I've had my coxic cosix adjusted. I've also had my pubic bone
23:07
adjusted. That was That was a surprise. I didn't know it could adjust.
23:15
I didn't either, and then I found out, Yeah, so trainata,
23:18
what what? What brought it on? I have no idea. I
23:22
woke up yesterday and it's one of those that I the minute I tried,
23:26
I, you know, set up from bed, it just all of a
23:32
sudden. You know, there's just a burning sensation that starts in your ass
23:36
and it just goes down your leg. Usually it's my right leg, today's
23:40
the left leg. I just called that Friday night. The difference is ras
23:47
you're happy about it. Trade was upset. Some people call that prison No
23:53
one person probably doesn't. I laughed. I laughed because I heard that's what.
24:03
Yeah, so it's just is it in a night terror thing or is
24:06
it a heredity? My both my parents had bad backs and fusions, and
24:15
between that football and like my neck, I will have to have either a
24:22
fusion or disreplacement. And that's from football and uh and headbutting things. Right,
24:30
let's back up for a second. I get the football. I understand
24:33
that you just randomly head butt things. Yeah, define Well, in more
24:40
than a couple occasions, been in fights where I've had butted people. We
24:44
had a bid in the studio way back in the day where we had a
24:47
frying pan in there that I would hit myself in the head with the head
24:51
with a frying pan. Well we all did. Rise. Don't act like,
24:53
don't act like you wouldn't have hidden there, Yeah I wouldn't. I
24:57
just did it with greater gusto and really was the most prolific headPan smasher,
25:04
which led led to my you know, the orthopedic looking at my x rays
25:10
going wow, you must have been in a really bad car wreck. I'm
25:11
like, no, no, it is on a really stupid radio show.
25:19
Your neck is shows it, you know, looks like what would happen if
25:22
you were in a high impact collision the way and it's like, yeah,
25:26
no, just a lot of low impact. I had a similar experience at
25:30
a chiropractor and they looked at my X ray and they said, man,
25:34
what have you been carrying? Jesus wow. And though it was a radio
25:41
show, I was for about five years. Yeah, in that weight got
25:49
a lot bigger, increased over time, that is for sure. This is
25:56
solving so many mysteries for me. Why Dan's so forgetful. You've left out
26:03
the fact that you would smash yourself in the head with a frying pan.
26:07
Yeah. So when I went to that neurologist on the referral appointment, did
26:11
you save that a heavy before the heavy battery of tests? I did not
26:15
mention the multiple hits to the head with the frying pan. I mainly focused
26:19
on traditional head injuries football, the occasional baseball thing. There's a couple of
26:29
times as a kid, I just run into things head first, you know,
26:30
normal stuff, and I absolutely purposely left off. You know. There
26:34
was for about six or seven months there it was almost a daily thing.
26:37
We'd hit ourselves in the forehead with frying pans, Like right, Like,
26:41
were you the kid with a big pencil. Were you the kid that had
26:45
the big jumbo pencil that you had to write with? Because you said as
26:48
a kid running head first into things that we had that kid too, his
26:52
name was Billy, and he had his name on his belt and I and
26:56
I don't think that was for anything other than he didn't know that that there's
27:00
another belt like he had to Billy had to put Billy's belt on and he
27:04
was having his name on his belt. Wasn't an achievement like he had won
27:07
the rodeo? Is like it was so he knew it was his. So
27:11
how big big pencil? My grandmother took me sometimes she drove the bus.
27:26
Now it was a Lincoln Town card on the on the on the event,
27:30
on the on the occasions that I rode the bus. It was of normal
27:36
size. But let's get back to the to the pencil size that you mentioned.
27:41
Would you say, were you the kid that had the big pencil?
27:42
What do you like? How big of the pencil or the big jumbo pencil
27:47
for the kid that you know, Billy one that was roughly the same size
27:51
as John Holmes crank. Yes, basically, you know, I'd love to
27:56
say I'd love to say I didn't have one of those, but because I
27:59
know the exact ex scize and circumference of the pencil compared to a legendary male
28:03
porn star's genitalia, Yeah I did. I had the big This is making
28:08
so much sense now, hang on, hang on, hang on, it
28:11
gets better. Not only did I have the big red pencil, ye,
28:15
it also had my name as if, as if by chance there'd be some
28:30
other kid in the class that also had a pencil of unusual size to get
28:34
them crossed up, my parents made sure to put Danny on mine. This
28:41
makes so much sense now. So when you listen to this, go back
28:44
and listen to the plus episode, and all of this will make sense.
28:48
This is why you're that you were that they knew that when you were a
28:52
kid, like they knew this, Uh, they knew how this was gonna
28:56
turn out. Or perhaps ra perhaps my parents were thinking, it is possible
29:03
that a coven of vampires may descend upon the kindergarten, and it's gonna be
29:10
our little Danny that's going to defend the classroom with his big pencil with his
29:14
name on it. You not only is it, not only is it used
29:19
for solving arithmetic and writing your name and learning cursive. But it's also really
29:23
good at murdering the curse, the damned, the vampires. Maybe did you
29:32
ever ever sent a note home? Like, Hey, everybody else in class
29:36
has a pencil. Why does Dan have a steak? Keep in mind,
29:41
is it is it day in or Danny? What are we talking about right
29:44
now? Like Bill, keep in mind where I went to kindergarten was Oklahoma,
29:49
So let us going to school and having a Bible and a cursive FIXI
29:52
in your backpack was going to be pretty run of the mill because sometimes you
30:03
gotta shoot your lunch. Not today, Satan, Not today. You were
30:11
listening to the Treehouse visit us online that Treehouse on air dot com. Yeah,
30:15
when it came time to you know, make trades at lunch, no
30:18
one wanted my squirrel meat sandwhich a three three cook DFW. That is the
30:27
phone number to reach Daniel Cook and Cook DFW. Roofing and Restoration for your
30:32
free roof inspection. And also if there's been a storm, you know you
30:36
want to check to see if that roof survived it there's any damage. If
30:38
it's major damage, you'll know in which case you definitely should be calling Daniel
30:41
Cook at E three to three Cook DFW. Daniel was curious about this.
30:47
I don't know if it's an age thing for some people, but for me,
30:48
I've never been a birthday guy. I had my birthday recently and people
30:52
keep bringing it up and throwing it in my face. But even fro when
30:55
I was one year old, everyone started singing happy birthday, Like that's not
30:59
for me. I started screaming and crying, throwing a tantrum. I hate
31:02
the cake. That's a different thing. But you know, being sung to
31:04
is not my thing. What about you? Where do you fall on your
31:07
birthday? Are you like birthday month guy? Or you just go away?
31:11
Leave me alone? Guy, I stop selling birthdays. I think I don't
31:15
know twenty one, twenty yeah, somewhere around there. So yeah, that
31:18
actually makes sense. Trey even said the last great birthday you get is twenty
31:22
five because your insurance drops. And he's not wrong. No, that's exactly
31:26
a happening. So no, I mean, you know, I turned fifty
31:29
this year, and so it was kind of a big deal. I didn't
31:33
really care about the number, because it's guys, you really don't care about
31:36
the number. Anymore. If I can get out of bed without snap,
31:38
crackling and pop and break anything, that's a successful day for me now.
31:44
And then on top of that, you know, I've been extremely blessed.
31:47
I feel very very well overall. So I don't really think of the numbers
31:52
anymore. I know it hurts women, you know, mental about thinking about
31:56
they're getting old. I don't think men really care. As long as were
32:00
able to function and have a good life and do some stuff that we enjoy
32:02
still, I think that's all it matters. And so yeah, I mean,
32:05
as long as you're still labeled to swing a golf club without you know,
32:07
doubling over in pain, and do your job to a good enough ability
32:12
to be able to afford to play golf, you're you're having a good time.
32:14
So I think that makes sense. It's a perfect world right there.
32:16
So and then you know, the big thing is, I told my guys
32:20
all the time, Hey, if I can scale these roofs and I can
32:22
get up here off these ladders and jump around, then you can see that
32:25
it can physically be done. Still at fifty, y'all young bucks need to
32:29
buck up, un let's get going. So that's exactly right. He can
32:32
still get on the roof, so can you, and he will be happy
32:35
to jump on yours. Take a look at it for free to see if
32:37
there's any damages from the previous storms, or see if it's ready for the

do. We do fun stuff. You know what for me as a woman,
33:31
For me, I want a pot filler over my stove. That's my
33:35
fun project. You need me to run a little bit extra water line so
33:38
your wife doesn't have to lift that heavy pot to make her pasta every Sunday
33:44
pasta sauce. You know, that's the fun project for me a woman.
33:46
Get yourself a pot filler, men, I guess, get yourself a garbage

disposal, and get rid of those tree branches. We're here for both.

34:59
six one of the Treehouse podcast be a Choose your own adventure, Trey,
35:02
And would you rather hear about the misuse of sex dolls or or crazy ouder
35:16
attack? Oh? Man, that is that is difficult? All right,
35:22
I understand it's crazy attack, yes, or misuse of sex dolls? Yeah,
35:29
I choose choose, choose wisely because we're only going to do one.
35:34
I'll do the other one on the next podcast, but still, but for
35:36
now, I'm gonna go outer attack, auto attack, Trey. I'm I'm
35:42
gonna I'm with Raj. I want to go about you know, crazy otters?
35:46
Yeah, all right, crazy otters? It is. I have to
35:53
pull up my phone here because there's audio that goes along with this story.
36:00
A state trooper in Montana was recently awarded the Medal of Valor after rescuing a
36:07
woman who was being attacked by otters. Yes, I love this story already.
36:15
That's gonna be good and it's Montana, so yeah, yeah. Here
36:23
is the trooper who was awarded the Medal of Valor after rescuing a woman who
36:29
was attacked by otters, describing the events that ensued. Honestly, I had
36:36
never even heard of anybody getting attacked by an honor before, so being familiar
36:38
with the area, I knew how remote it was, and so I thought,
36:42
well, I could at least go and help get them loaded in the
36:44
ambulance. Once we got up to her, she was basically covered headstone and
36:47
blood, and then once life Flight landed, they immediately got out and started
36:52
giving her care. And for me, it was just more of feeling empathetic
36:54
with the woman and wanting to get her the help that she needed, and
36:58
she was in a situation that nobody ever expect for her to be in.
37:00
Little one herself. You never when you when you're wandering Montana, you never
37:06
stop and think, mmmm that it could be your day to be attacked by
37:12
marauding otters. All right, that's the name of our band. Hang on
37:20
if you left it out that you didn't say where this was from, not
37:23
because Montana is kind of a dead giveaway. But is there any question in
37:29
anyone's mind that this is a white lady, because you know exactly how I
37:39
look at that. If I say it, it's racist, if you say
37:45
it, it's adorable. Look, Trey and I are white. We don't
37:52
get these opportunities off and just let us have this one. I have been
37:55
to Montana. Trust me, it was a white person. That's what I
38:01
said. Take out Montana. That's a dead giveaway. Yeah, you could
38:07
put this in Florida. It's still a white lady, like it doesn't matter.
38:09
Well, no, this is what this is. It's like if you
38:13
die on Everest. You know it's a white person. That's exactly right.
38:16
You're about a lady getting malled by some wild animal. You know it was
38:20
a white lady and she was trying to feed it. See there, that's
38:22
exactly See. I'm glad you said it like that because if it would have
38:25
just been me, you like a few of my other comic friends of color,
38:30
when if I would have been like, hey man, jel here about
38:31
the lady got attacked by an otter. My buddy Laurent would go, huh,
38:37
white lady. I'd be like, you're right, and we'd high five,
38:39
and then that would be that's the end of the story. Like we
38:43
don't even need audio. Like. Part of what you need to keep in
38:45
mind here is that it wasn't one otter. It was a room. And
38:51
I looked it up. The correct biological term for a group of otters is
38:57
called a romp. A romp. She got wronged, all right, that
39:04
is and I and and there was no doubt when when the lady who got
39:07
the Metal of Valor, the state trooper that was also a white lady that
39:13
was talking, right, that's there we correct. Yeah, that's how she
39:17
knew another white lady was in trouble. She was flailing about. It's like,
39:21
this is clearly this is the the the unspoken thing of white ladies in
39:29
Montana, the deadly otter. Aren't these the things that fall asleep holding each
39:34
other's hands, Like isn't that one? So they don't know why they fall
39:37
asleep holding each other's hands because they're because they're cleansing each other of the white
39:42
lady that they have recently and there's actually a place in Waco. I forget
39:50
the name of it off the top of my head, but I've seen it
39:52
on Instagram. Uh, there's a place in Waco that you can go and
39:55
stay. It's like a ranch type of place. I know, you can
39:59
actually swim and or take a bath with otters. Yes, they're they're known
40:05
to be very docile creachers. So what was this bitch doing? Which which
40:10
what Trey had said, which you know, this white lady had it coming.
40:15
Yeah, she she showed up with the wrong food, is my guess.
40:19
These otters were like, bitch, I will eat you. And they
40:22
all looked at each other and we should then, and that's what that.
40:27
Then they proceeded to eat this lady. And just just the luck of this
40:32
lady, the misfortune of being eaten by otters, but the luck that a
40:37
state trooper was driving by and recognized because she says it, she goes and
40:40
I realized at that moment there was an OTTO attack, And I was like,
40:45
how many, Well that's you said. The trooper wasn't driving by,
40:49
It wasn't. I mean, this was the call came in about a rock
40:52
of otters attacking someone in Montana and this Montana State trooper answered the call,
41:00
she said, I must go help. No, she literally answered the call.
41:04
She was the only person working that day, like when she When I
41:08
hear that and I in combined with the story and we know she got the
41:13
Medal of Valor, my only thought is who didn't get it? That's no,
41:17
You're right because I was thinking the same thing based on what this state
41:22
trooper said. I'm gonna play this again. Yes, I'm gonna let her
41:25
tell you in her own words how it is she was or what she did.
41:31
I'll let the state trooper tell you in her own words what she did
41:36
that led to her receiving the Montana Metal of Valor. Yes, honestly,
41:42
I'd never even heard of anybody getting attacked by an honor before, so being
41:45
familiar with the area, I knew how remote it was, and so I
41:47
thought, well, I could at least go and help get them loaded in
41:50
ambulance. Once we got up to her, she was basically covered headstone and
41:53
blood, and then once life Flight landed, they immediately got out and started
41:58
giving her care. And for me, it was just more feeling empathetic to
42:00
the woman and wanting to get her the help that she needed, and she
42:04
was in a situation that nobody ever expected for her to be in. Little
42:07
one herself, so there, the state Troopers says. What she did which
42:12
led to her receiving the Medal of Valor from the State of Montana was help
42:15
load this blood soaked woman into an ambulance and then let CareFlight do all the
42:22
heavy lifting. And she also showed empathy for the lady for being the victim
42:27
of a romp of otters attacking her. I h how low is the bar
42:35
for issuing medals in the state of Montana that you only had to show up
42:42
to get a medal. The last recipient was the one who responded to the
42:46
Great Beaver massacre. And if we're being honest, I thought, I thought,
42:53
I really thought that it was just the Dallas Police Department that was having
42:58
issues with their response time. I want to know who made the call,
43:06
Like who was called? Who was watching some lady getting attacked by an otters?
43:08
Like, oh, it was it was It was clearly it was clearly
43:12
the lead otter. He wanted to make an example and show the world that
43:20
otters are not to be trifled with in Montana. Yeah, I just,
43:23
uh, this is this is I'm so glad I could. I don't know
43:27
what the sex doll story is, but it's not better than this at all,
43:30
because I would never Oh, it might be, It just might be.
43:34
But you'll have to tune into the Friday episode of The Treehouse podcast that
43:38
will be out later this week on Hint Hint Friday. But I also think
43:44
it's possible. I also think it's possible that maybe these Otters have watched one
43:51
too many seasons of Yellowstone so that they don't want outsiders coming into their land
44:00
doing whatever the hell it is that they want to do, and they decide
44:01
they're going to take action and do what they need to do as as a
44:06
family of Otters to protect their otter ranch. Yeah, I like it.
44:10
I Uh, it was like the what was those the not muskrat? What
44:17
was the thing that was on Discovery for the longest time? Meerkat meerkats?
44:22
We have we have to have our own version. Discovery Channel presents, uh,
44:30
the Gangs of the animal Gangs of Montana, and then the Otters have
44:34
to be like they're they're the bloods uh white ladies, or they're just their
44:39
crips, you know. Trunce run through their hood like you just don't do
44:45
it. Like and she's like, I'm gonna feed j'all and they're like,
44:46
we're gonna eat you. That's the problem that a lot of people have,
44:52
is they they underestimate their opponent, you know. And and and here's again
44:57
how my mind works. Like everybody's focusing on this lovely state trooper that won
45:00
the Medal of valor because I guess nobody else they just had a medal to
45:06
give away. Uh. But there's a lady somewhere in a hospital that's having
45:09
to explain to every nurse that changes shifts why she's there. And she's gonna
45:16
be like, yep, I got fed up by a bunch of otters and
45:21
people. Is it gonna be when it's the day in the hospital where the
45:28
emotional support animals show up and the nurse is holding good or you have PTSD
45:38
from one of the most adorable creatures ever. The new headline is outer attack
45:46
victim leaps from hospital window and guess and guess and guess which state troopers showed
45:57
up to answer that you medals? Got two medals? All or no?
46:13
They just give her the same Yeah, it turns out they only had one
46:20
extra from the trophy place. Don't forget Wes we mentioned here. You want
46:23
to hear about the sex doll stories, and you need to be here for
46:27
the Friday episode of the Treehouse podcast coming out later this week. Before that,
46:30
you can enjoy the Treehouse Football podcast that will drop on Thursday. We'll
46:36
see you next time, right here in the Treehouse
