- 3:05Speaker 1: we talked about how you guys and my wife think
- 3:06Speaker 1: this airbnb is haunted. Someone just rang that doorbell and
- 3:10Speaker 1: no one is there.
- 3:14Speaker 4: Did Did you see that article I sent you about
- 3:16Speaker 4: the Yoh it was like titled I'm living in a
- 3:19Speaker 4: murder house.
- 3:20Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about that tray.
- 3:25Speaker 3: It's a fascinating story.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Yeah, so that that you you you've heard singing and music,
- 3:33Speaker 4: but you don't know that anyone's there. TV comes on
- 3:37Speaker 4: and off, throw the doorbell, doors opening and closing, cabinets
- 3:41Speaker 4: opening and closing with no one there.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Don't forget about the tampon and the bathroom.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Oh yeah, tampon and the bathroom.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Which is just what I need. Is a ghost with
- 3:48Speaker 1: PMS can't just be a normal ghost.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Bet you from beyond.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Just waiting for Stephen King to write about it.
- 4:04Speaker 3: There's literally nobody outside that just rang the doorbell.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I don't know. I heard the doorbell ring. The dog
- 4:12Speaker 1: looked up. I kind of looked over. I didn't see
- 4:13Speaker 1: anything immediately. Maybe maybe they ring the doorbell and jumped
- 4:17Speaker 1: over the railing and ran away. Okay, I don't know
- 4:23Speaker 1: what they call that in the Pacific Northwest, but in
- 4:25Speaker 1: the South where we're all from, that's a name we
- 4:27Speaker 1: don't say anymore.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Did you guys order food?
- 4:33Speaker 1: I don't see any out there, so maybe I just
- 4:36Speaker 1: got a big foot knocked.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Okay, Wow, that is what more proof would you need? Like?
- 4:45Speaker 3: Would you need to see the ghost?
- 4:47Speaker 2: Yes? I need to need to.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Sit down and be like, hey, my name is whatever,
- 4:50Speaker 3: and I look.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I don't need to have a conversation with the alleged specter.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I just you know, in order for me to believe
- 4:57Speaker 1: in a ghost, I'm gonna have to see it, gotcha.
- 5:01Speaker 3: But if it did, sit down with you, and it's like,
- 5:02Speaker 3: this is where I haunt. Sometimes I turned the TV on.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Sometimes I ring the doorbell. Sorry about the tampon.
- 5:10Speaker 4: There's gonna be some like Ghostbusters where it's that librarian
- 5:12Speaker 4: that's real, you know, nice and everything, and then all
- 5:15Speaker 4: of a sudden turns into that monster.
- 5:17Speaker 2: And then that's when the tampon drops.
- 5:21Speaker 1: That's when I'll leave. When the tampon drops out of
- 5:27Speaker 1: the ghost, that's when I'll leave. But thank you Trey
- 5:33Speaker 1: for sending me the story about how a man lives
- 5:35Speaker 1: in a murder house. That does remind me that I
- 5:39Speaker 1: need to check the address of this Airbnb where I'm
- 5:41Speaker 1: staying to see if there's anything in the news about
- 5:44Speaker 1: this at particular address that needs to be you know, known,
- 5:50Speaker 1: because that's what the article that you sent me about
- 5:53Speaker 1: that guy said was. It was titled I Live in
- 5:58Speaker 1: a murder House. This is what it's really like. When
- 6:01Speaker 1: Mike Covell's young daughter asked one evening, where's the old
- 6:05Speaker 1: lady who sings to me. His blood ran cold. There
- 6:09Speaker 1: was no elderly woman in their house on Severn Street
- 6:12Speaker 1: in the Hull. This is in England, somewhere. It was
- 6:16Speaker 1: just Mike, his wife, three year old Bradley, and two
- 6:19Speaker 1: year old daughter Alyssa. He said. We moved on to
- 6:21Speaker 1: Severn Street in two thousand and seven. I was born
- 6:22Speaker 1: on the street. My parents still lived there. We wanted
- 6:25Speaker 1: to move closer to them. One morning, my son woke
- 6:27Speaker 1: up and told me there was a man standing at
- 6:29Speaker 1: his door with a bit of wood in his hand.
- 6:32Speaker 1: A few nights later he woke up again, this time screaming.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I ran into his room and leaned in to give
- 6:36Speaker 1: him a hug. As I did, my son whispered, he's
- 6:39Speaker 1: behind you now. I turned around and there was no
- 6:42Speaker 1: one there. Meanwhile, my daughter was adamant. There was an
- 6:45Speaker 1: old lady who sang to her inside the house. The
- 6:50Speaker 1: home is nestled in a quiet residential area, just a
- 6:53Speaker 1: stone's throw away from a busy man road. The tree
- 6:55Speaker 1: lined street, full of twentieth century terraced houses seemed unassuming
- 6:59Speaker 1: enough when Mike moved in. I'd like to point out
- 7:01Speaker 1: that that description of their neighborhood in England's onto a
- 7:04Speaker 1: lot like this one outside my window here in The
- 7:06Speaker 1: self confessed history buff who runs amazing whole tours decided
- 7:12Speaker 1: to research his house after his kid's strange experiences. What
- 7:15Speaker 1: a coincidence a guy that happens to be a history
- 7:18Speaker 1: buff moved into a house that apparently murder took place,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and he runs tours in the neighborhood. What are the
- 7:25Speaker 1: odds of his house being haunted? Could back to the story?
- 7:31Speaker 1: Could something have happened there which led to his children's
- 7:34Speaker 1: experiences with ghosts? Was the house haunted? A few weeks
- 7:38Speaker 1: after moving in, the data too went to his city's
- 7:40Speaker 1: archives and started to search for his street name and number.
- 7:42Speaker 1: One article from the Whole Time's newspaper soon caught his
- 7:45Speaker 1: eye Murder on Severn Street. He read on discovered that
- 7:49Speaker 1: on April first, nineteen forty five, a former owner of
- 7:52Speaker 1: the home, forty nine year old Emily Garbett, had been
- 7:55Speaker 1: bludgeoned to death with an axe by her lodger of
- 7:58Speaker 1: fifteen years sixty nine year old Fred Watson. Mike says,
- 8:02Speaker 1: I kept going through the articles. Basically Emily was at
- 8:04Speaker 1: home in a rocking chair, in the room I'm speaking
- 8:06Speaker 1: from now. When Watson came back from work, he grabbed
- 8:09Speaker 1: an axe, put it through her head six times, and
- 8:10Speaker 1: drag her body into a room at the back of
- 8:12Speaker 1: the property. He switched on the gas and took a
- 8:15Speaker 1: rusty knife to try to end his own life. Neighbors
- 8:18Speaker 1: heard the noise called police, who knocked down the door
- 8:20Speaker 1: and took Watson to the hospital. He was found guilty
- 8:22Speaker 1: of Emily's murder. Deemed to be insane, he was spared
- 8:26Speaker 1: from execution. Instead, he was sent to De La Pole Hospital,
- 8:30Speaker 1: a former psychiatric unit, and there he killed himself.
- 8:36Speaker 3: So that would have been like the little piece of
- 8:37Speaker 3: wood that he was holding in his hand was the axe.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Handle, probably. And this is the owner of the home, Mike,
- 8:45Speaker 1: pointing to the corner in which Emily was alleged to
- 8:48Speaker 1: have been murdered in his house. So he's very serious
- 8:51Speaker 1: there as he points to that ugly wallpaper. So in
- 8:56Speaker 1: order to make me feel better about the staying in
- 8:59Speaker 1: an alleged haunted Airbnb, my good buddy Trey sent me
- 9:05Speaker 1: a article talking about how a dude lives in a
- 9:08Speaker 1: murder house and what it's like.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Thank you, well, you can write a part too.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I'm stuck with the sequel. Yeah, sequels are are rarely
- 9:23Speaker 1: better than the.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Original sequel in Seattle. That's uh, that's what you can
- 9:28Speaker 3: do now.
- 9:30Speaker 1: This actually would be titled Sleepless in Seattle too, just
- 9:32Speaker 1: for two very different reasons.
- 9:34Speaker 3: I I think it's a ballsy Did they still live there?
- 9:39Speaker 3: They still stay They're still staying in the Murder House.
- 9:43Speaker 3: That's I mean, I don't want to go with stereotypes,
- 9:47Speaker 3: but I'm just saying, like the white people didn't leave
- 9:51Speaker 3: the Murder House, like I would have left my kids
- 9:54Speaker 3: like they like look like the minute that kid was like,
- 9:57Speaker 3: he's behind you and be like, I'll miss you.
- 9:59Speaker 1: And then for swaking you, you as a person of color,
- 10:02Speaker 1: said you would leave your kids, and you're saying you
- 10:04Speaker 1: don't want to lean into stereotypes.
- 10:07Speaker 3: I'm just saying, if he says he's behind you, that's
- 10:10Speaker 3: when I'm like, I love you, but I have to
- 10:13Speaker 3: go now.
- 10:14Speaker 1: And when Timmy says he's behind you and you turn
- 10:16Speaker 1: around and nothing's there, that's when that's when you're leaving that.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I'm not even I'm not even taking a bag. I'm
- 10:22Speaker 3: just gonna I'm just gonna leave. They can all stay
- 10:24Speaker 3: if they want to come, start walking down the street
- 10:26Speaker 3: with me.
- 10:26Speaker 2: But no, you wouldn't.
- 10:28Speaker 1: You wouldn't be concerned and think that maybe maybe your
- 10:31Speaker 1: child is schizophrenic as opposed to maybe seeing a ghost.
- 10:37Speaker 3: So I so I would have to like evaluate his
- 10:39Speaker 3: mental health. Uh at that, like at four o'clock in
- 10:42Speaker 3: the morning, when he's screaming he's behind.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Me, saying if if if I have a kid and
- 10:46Speaker 1: he says he's behind you and I turn around, there's
- 10:48Speaker 1: nothing there. I'm going to jump to a logical uh
- 10:52Speaker 1: you know, hypothesis and think that my kid is suffering
- 10:55Speaker 1: some some from some sort of mental illness, not that
- 10:58Speaker 1: there was an AX me during Ghost in the House.
- 11:01Speaker 3: Well, I'm leaving the mom behind too, so she might
- 11:03Speaker 3: find out. I didn't say she was coming with Look
- 11:14Speaker 3: a monster do you think he is? I don't want
- 11:17Speaker 3: to find out.
- 11:19Speaker 1: And now I know why you've never been married.
- 11:27Speaker 5: Visit us online House on air dot com.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I take it back, I'm wrong about that. Now I
- 11:33Speaker 1: know why you're divorced.

- 11:51Speaker 1: Very happy to welcome inside the Treehouse our newest sponsor,
- 11:55Speaker 1: Fair Lease you know, there are two things that we
- 11:57Speaker 1: can never have enough of, time and money, and fair
- 12:01Speaker 1: Least can help you save both. For one, here's how
- 12:05Speaker 1: fair leaves can save you time the car buying process.
- 12:08Speaker 1: It is absolutely grueling when you go to a dealership,
- 12:11Speaker 1: hours wasted. Sometimes you don't even get the car the
- 12:14Speaker 1: same day, even though you're staring at it right there
- 12:17Speaker 1: in the lot. Fairlease handles everything online or over the phone,
- 12:22Speaker 1: no wasting hours in a dealership waiting room or a
- 12:25Speaker 1: sales office. God forbid. You can actually browse the entire
- 12:28Speaker 1: inventory online. Or if there's a specific vehicle you're wanting,
- 12:32Speaker 1: you can ask fair Lease and they will go get
- 12:35Speaker 1: it for you, and then they bring it right to you.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Not you going to the dealership and wandering around or
- 12:40Speaker 1: any of that. No fair Lease and your leasing consultant
- 12:43Speaker 1: will bring the vehicle you want right to you, and
- 12:45Speaker 1: you can sign all the documents online, no wasted time. Now,
- 12:50Speaker 1: this is how fair lease can save you money. Leasing
- 12:53Speaker 1: costs less than buying. Instead of paying for the whole
- 12:56Speaker 1: vehicle like you do when you buy, you only pay
- 12:59Speaker 1: for the least when you lease. What that means is
- 13:02Speaker 1: if the vehicle's fifty thousand dollars and you buy it,
- 13:03Speaker 1: you're gonna spend fifty thousand dollars, actually more when you
- 13:06Speaker 1: factor in the interest. But when you lease, if that
- 13:08Speaker 1: vehicle's gonna have ten thousand dollars of residual value when
- 13:11Speaker 1: you turn it in when the lease term is up,
- 13:14Speaker 1: that's forty thousand dollars, you're only leasing the forty thousand
- 13:16Speaker 1: dollars portion. So there you go. You're saving ten thousand
- 13:19Speaker 1: dollars right then and there. So, unless you're driving your
- 13:21Speaker 1: vehicles into the dirt, you're already leasing. You're just paying
- 13:25Speaker 1: more than you should. So you should call fair Lease
- 13:27Speaker 1: and you can see the difference leasing can make to
- 13:30Speaker 1: you and your budget. Fair lease any make any model
- 13:34Speaker 1: brought to you and for less. That's not just fair,
- 13:37Speaker 1: it's fairlease. Find them online fairlease dot org. That's fairlease
- 13:42Speaker 1: dot Org. The phone number to call or email the
- 13:45Speaker 1: leasing consultant is there right there on the website. Go

- 14:31Speaker 1: Rag? You started to say it in the break and
- 14:33Speaker 1: I need you to I need you to reset it
- 14:38Speaker 1: for us briefly. Okay, okay, So your fraternity house in
- 14:43Speaker 1: college was haunted.
- 14:45Speaker 3: Yes, it's if you look it up, the Pike House
- 14:47Speaker 3: at Southwest Texas State's and haunted Texas legends. The house
- 14:51Speaker 3: is built in nineteen oh six where it was the
- 14:55Speaker 3: boys dormitory for a military school, and then it turned
- 14:58Speaker 3: into an Army Navy veterans hospital. Then it was an
- 15:00Speaker 3: insane asylum.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Yep.
- 15:04Speaker 3: And there's a morg downstairs fully functioning. We had to
- 15:07Speaker 3: block it off because kids, like you know, college kids
- 15:12Speaker 3: will put pledges and stuff in the lockers and leave
- 15:15Speaker 3: them in there.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Oh, I just assume that's where you took, you know,
- 15:19Speaker 1: girls to the morgue. Well, I mean, isn't Texas State
- 15:26Speaker 1: where virgin souls go to die?
- 15:29Speaker 3: They do say, there's there's a statue of the horses
- 15:33Speaker 3: that are in the quad, and it says if a
- 15:34Speaker 3: virgin ever graduates from Southwest Texas or Texas State, that
- 15:37Speaker 3: the horses will sprout wings and fly away.
- 15:40Speaker 1: And where are those horses now.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Still in the quad, safe and sound.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Undefeated, unlike the virgins at the bottom of the pike house.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Yes, but I like, we couldn't errate the lawn because
- 15:54Speaker 3: there was like limbs and like stillborn babies like they
- 15:57Speaker 3: put like, yeah, so we couldn't like the lawn half
- 16:00Speaker 3: the time was dead because we couldn't put like, we
- 16:02Speaker 3: couldn't do anything to maintain it because if bones came up,
- 16:06Speaker 3: the family members of those people could ask for those
- 16:10Speaker 3: remains back.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Wow, And obviously you didn't want to dig up your
- 16:14Speaker 1: freshly laid sawd because winner rye doesn't just plant itself.
- 16:25Speaker 3: But yeah, so, I mean I understand, like I had
- 16:27Speaker 3: to live there because I had to fill out like
- 16:28Speaker 3: a commitment, like I signed a letter saying I'd stay
- 16:30Speaker 3: there for like twelve months or fourteen months, whatever it was.
- 16:33Speaker 3: But I mean there were there were times I I
- 16:36Speaker 3: wanted to leave because it was just that haunted, Like
- 16:39Speaker 3: I don't know why this guy stays in a murder
- 16:41Speaker 3: house unless it's helping him with his tours.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Oh, that's exactly what it is. This guy's making money
- 16:46Speaker 1: off his family living in a murder house in England,
- 16:48Speaker 1: So of course they're going to stay. Whereas you at
- 16:51Speaker 1: your haunted fraternity house at Texas State, didn't want to
- 16:55Speaker 1: mow the lawn because you were afraid you'd run over
- 16:58Speaker 1: a limb.
- 16:59Speaker 3: Yes, we like we had a little girl that ran
- 17:01Speaker 3: up and down the hallways. That was you just hear
- 17:04Speaker 3: a little girl giggle and then you can it goes.
- 17:06Speaker 2: And that just from rush weekend.
- 17:11Speaker 3: We're meeting the new sorority.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Yeah you sure that wasn't just a tried up pledge.
- 17:20Speaker 2: High school senior years that come for a visit.
- 17:24Speaker 3: We have to show them the library. But no, we
- 17:29Speaker 3: had a like lady in the rocking chair. Like there
- 17:31Speaker 3: was a rocking show that was in one of the
- 17:32Speaker 3: rooms that just rocked back and forth on its own.
- 17:35Speaker 6: Uh.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Nobody had the courage to take it out of the
- 17:38Speaker 3: room and put it in the storage storage room that
- 17:41Speaker 3: we had, but it just kept rocking back and forth.
- 17:44Speaker 1: So there was that a house full of college aged
- 17:48Speaker 1: males with god knows how much alcohol and illicit drugs
- 17:53Speaker 1: flowing through their property. Yes, and not one of you
- 17:57Speaker 1: had the balls to move a self rocking rocking chair.
- 18:01Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how much. I've never done it,
- 18:03Speaker 3: but I don't know how much cocaine you have to
- 18:05Speaker 3: do to take a haunted chair out of a room.
- 18:07Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. I wasn't trying to
- 18:10Speaker 3: find out. But there's no amount of alcohol that can
- 18:12Speaker 3: when you see a rocking chair just going by itself. Yeah,
- 18:15Speaker 3: you'll shut the door. You're not gonna go have a
- 18:18Speaker 3: couple of shots in man up.
- 18:20Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen, or or cocaine.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Like you said, that's and a lot of there was
- 18:25Speaker 3: a lot of weed.
- 18:25Speaker 1: There was a lot of you know, so you're saying
- 18:27Speaker 1: that you don't know where that line is.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Go correct or lines. Yeah, but I mean our fire
- 18:35Speaker 3: marshal capacity was eight hundred and forty seven people, Like
- 18:37Speaker 3: we had the largest attorney house in Texas.
- 18:41Speaker 1: But so you good bodies in the front yard.
- 18:43Speaker 3: One hundred percent, one hundred percent, like and limbs some
- 18:48Speaker 3: people had like amputated limbs and stuff that were buried
- 18:52Speaker 3: in the front lawn.
- 18:53Speaker 1: So did you guys have the best Halloween party on
- 18:58Speaker 1: campus one hundred percent because I've I've heard, I've heard
- 19:03Speaker 1: legendary tales about the Delta Upsilon House at UTA because
- 19:07Speaker 1: and as far as I know, they still do it.
- 19:09Speaker 1: I was only at UTA for a year and a half,
- 19:11Speaker 1: but going to high school in Arlington, we all knew
- 19:13Speaker 1: about the du House and their haunted house that they
- 19:17Speaker 1: ran as part of their you know, philanthropy every single
- 19:22Speaker 1: year for Halloween, like they would do the chainsaw thing,
- 19:25Speaker 1: chasing people down the street towards campus.
- 19:27Speaker 3: And yeah, we uh, we had. We did a haunted
- 19:31Speaker 3: house one year and there was a group of kids
- 19:33Speaker 3: right at the beginning of the night, with about eight
- 19:35Speaker 3: o'clock and they all started crying. And that was the
- 19:39Speaker 3: last time we ever did a haunted house because we
- 19:42Speaker 3: would just take the trucks down the driveway and sit
- 19:44Speaker 3: up outside and just basically hand out candy kids walking
- 19:47Speaker 3: down the street because nobody wanted to go inside the house.
- 19:51Speaker 1: So a bunch of people started crying all at the
- 19:53Speaker 1: same time. Yes, did they did they all find out
- 19:59Speaker 1: that they got that Texas state strain of chlamydia.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Yes, we told him that it's not always just candy. Uh,
- 20:13Speaker 3: they just this kid's group of kids came down the
- 20:14Speaker 3: street and they walked into the house and we did
- 20:16Speaker 3: the whole strobe blinds and the sheets and you know,
- 20:19Speaker 3: the fake blood and all that stuff, and all the
- 20:21Speaker 3: kids started crying, and we're.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Like, I think you could have just made it real
- 20:23Speaker 1: easy and just given the kids a little hand shovel
- 20:26Speaker 1: and and say all go have fun in the yard.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Go get you an arm who needs a leg, go
- 20:35Speaker 3: up there and get.
- 20:38Speaker 1: You want a little scavenger hunt.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Yeah, but so that was the last time we did
- 20:43Speaker 3: a haunted house there because we're like, legitimately it was haunted.
- 20:46Speaker 3: So I think the kids knew, I.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Knew that it was haunted or just avoid I mean
- 20:53Speaker 1: they knew that.
- 20:54Speaker 3: I think they knew there were ghosts in the house.
- 20:56Speaker 3: And so when they came through, like they again, like
- 20:57Speaker 3: I said, that, all started crying and that was the
- 21:00Speaker 3: we can't do this anymore, like the parents. We had
- 21:02Speaker 3: to apologize to the parents.
- 21:03Speaker 4: I mean, what was it really a good idea to
- 21:05Speaker 4: open a fraternity house to kids.
- 21:09Speaker 3: We were eighteen, We weren't really known for good ideas.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Yeah, if there's ever a demographic that has never been
- 21:19Speaker 1: synonymous with good ideas. It's eighteen to twenty four.
- 21:23Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it wasn't the It wasn't the brightest thing
- 21:31Speaker 7: we've I mean, the idea was good, like let's have
- 21:34Speaker 7: a hunted house for the.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Kids and then we'll give them candy. And then it
- 21:38Speaker 3: just scared everybody and the kids started crying, the parents
- 21:40Speaker 3: were mad, so we had to stop.
- 21:43Speaker 1: I think at a certain point the parents need to
- 21:45Speaker 1: accept some responsibility on that, because, I mean, come on.
- 21:49Speaker 3: We also did have the Baptist minister who lived next door,
- 21:51Speaker 3: so that was creepy as well, Like he would stand
- 21:54Speaker 3: out on his porch on Halloween and he gave out Bibles.
- 21:58Speaker 3: He gave out the Little Green New Time Testaments.
- 22:00Speaker 2: That's what and what are you doing? During parties, he.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Would invite us over at five am to have breakfast
- 22:07Speaker 3: with him and his wife and his kids, and we're
- 22:09Speaker 3: just all hungover, just still drunk from the night before,
- 22:13Speaker 3: just trying to eat pancakes in this man's house. On
- 22:16Speaker 3: making this up.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Okay, look, if it's me, I'm going to assume at
- 22:21Speaker 1: Texas State formerly Southwest Texas, if the minister next door
- 22:27Speaker 1: to the fraternity house is handing out Bibles. I'm going
- 22:31Speaker 1: to assume those Bibles pages are cut out with little
- 22:35Speaker 1: bottles of Jaeger shoved in them. That's the type of
- 22:38Speaker 1: minister I expect in Bobcat Country.
- 22:42Speaker 3: And that's the kind of Bible I can get behind.
- 22:48Speaker 1: You'll wear an oath on.
- 22:53Speaker 3: As long as they are still in there.
- 22:54Speaker 2: I'm never drinking. Yeah, you're again, I swear please got uh.

- 23:53Speaker 1: of some terrifying uh college experience reliving from raj uh,
- 23:59Speaker 1: there is something else terrifying in the news, and that
- 24:05Speaker 1: is the news about the new Starbucks CEO formerly of Chipotle.
- 24:12Speaker 1: And how he is receiving a one hundred and thirteen
- 24:15Speaker 1: million dollars sign on bonus and he gets to work
- 24:20Speaker 1: from home. Wow, good gig if you can get it.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Brian Nickel, the current CEO of Chipotle, is set to
- 24:30Speaker 1: become Starbucks next CEO. This move could earn up to
- 24:35Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen million dollars. According to an SEC filing.
- 24:40Speaker 1: His annual base pay will be a paltry one point
- 24:43Speaker 1: six million dollars, with a potential yearly bonus of up
- 24:47Speaker 1: to seven point two million, plus a ten million dollars
- 24:51Speaker 1: sign on bonus. The bulk of his compensation will come
- 24:54Speaker 1: from stock grants worth seventy five to eighty million dollars,
- 24:58Speaker 1: with an additional annual stock grant of twenty three million
- 25:02Speaker 1: dollars starting in the next fiscal year. These stock awards
- 25:06Speaker 1: will vest over four years. By contrast, the average annual
- 25:11Speaker 1: salary for a Starbucks barista in the United States is
- 25:14Speaker 1: just shy of fifty thousand dollars, according to glass Door.
- 25:19Speaker 1: But I'm also wondering, is he going to have to
- 25:21Speaker 1: pay for his own coffee?
- 25:27Speaker 8: Do you look what he did with Chipotle? Yeah, And honestly,
- 25:31Speaker 8: I've eaten what he did to Chipotle. He he made
- 25:34Speaker 8: it stingy on the meat and and way too much sower.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Cream, and their stock price went through the roof.
- 25:42Speaker 4: And that's I mean, you know what, Honestly, you look
- 25:46Speaker 4: at his compensation package, I mean that's largely based on
- 25:48Speaker 4: the stock price, and if he kills it like he
- 25:50Speaker 4: did at Chipotle.
- 25:51Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but still one hundred and how much one
- 25:55Speaker 3: hundred and thirteen million.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Dollars potential sign on bonus so as it is, his
- 26:01Speaker 1: base salary is one point six million dollars, how do
- 26:04Speaker 1: you live? And a ten million dollars sign on bonus,
- 26:09Speaker 1: So in his first year it's going to be eleven
- 26:12Speaker 1: point six million dollars.
- 26:14Speaker 3: That's incredible just for coming over from Chipotle. Okay, wasn't
- 26:18Speaker 3: the former CEO of Starbucks? Wasn't that an Indian guy?
- 26:21Speaker 1: I believe that is correct?
- 26:22Speaker 3: Yes, okay, so interesting. Well that's uh yeah, I don't
- 26:26Speaker 3: drink to your coffee, so I don't know the appeal.
- 26:30Speaker 3: But nobody goes to Starbucks like that's not a thing anymore, right,
- 26:33Speaker 3: It's I mean.
- 26:33Speaker 2: No, it still is.
- 26:34Speaker 1: People still go to Starbucks all the damn time. They
- 26:36Speaker 1: sit there all damn day. The thing I'm fascinated by
- 26:39Speaker 1: is how you can justify one individual making that much money.
- 26:47Speaker 1: And I think I figured it out. It's this he
- 26:51Speaker 1: was the head of Chipotle and now he's taking over Starbucks. Raj.
- 26:57Speaker 1: You to this day have never eaten at Chipotle, and
- 27:01Speaker 1: you don't drink coffee, so you're not a Starbucks customer.
- 27:04Speaker 1: If this CEO finds a way to get you to
- 27:08Speaker 1: start drinking Starbucks coffee, then maybe we can justify one
- 27:13Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen million dollars potential sign on bonus?
- 27:17Speaker 3: Would what would I order?
- 27:18Speaker 2: Like?
- 27:18Speaker 3: What? Like? When you go there? What do you what
- 27:20Speaker 3: do you get?
- 27:23Speaker 1: I have to ask Tara because she's got it on
- 27:24Speaker 1: the app. Okay, but I think in summer months like now,
- 27:28Speaker 1: I believe it's a venty sugar free danilla iced latte.
- 27:36Speaker 3: Oh I already hate it.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Why do you hate it?
- 27:40Speaker 3: It's a venty large large unsweet.
- 27:46Speaker 1: No, No, it's sweet. I also add a it's just
- 27:49Speaker 1: sugar free vanilla, so it's it's sweet, but it's chemical sweetness,
- 27:54Speaker 1: not natural sweetness.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Yes, And then when usually I throw a couple.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Of splendors in there because it's not sweet enough.
- 27:59Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, so that's what you would recommend that I order.
- 28:03Speaker 1: No, oh, you ask me what you asked me what
- 28:05Speaker 1: I get right now during the summer, That's what I've
- 28:07Speaker 1: been getting. And I also get an extra shot or
- 28:09Speaker 1: two of espresso in that.
- 28:12Speaker 3: Oh wow. Okay, So you're just gaped out on coffee starting.
- 28:15Speaker 1: It like sugar and caffeine.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Yep, that's what runs you now.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I'm just I'm mainlighting caffeine and and fake sugar.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Are you?
- 28:24Speaker 3: Are you a coffee guy trying? Are you?
- 28:26Speaker 2: No? Not really?
- 28:28Speaker 1: Okay, I am also a traditional coffee guy. So I'll
- 28:34Speaker 1: do like my normal coffee in the morning and then
- 28:36Speaker 1: maybe later in the day I'll do the uh the
- 28:40Speaker 1: iced coffee type thing, gotcha?
- 28:43Speaker 2: Okay?
- 28:44Speaker 3: I did when I had an office job, like back
- 28:47Speaker 3: in the day, we had a little coffee maker or
- 28:51Speaker 3: whatever it was, and so I did, I did drink
- 28:53Speaker 3: coffee and I will have tea in India, but uh,
- 28:57Speaker 3: I got I. I was drinking like three or four
- 28:59Speaker 3: cups a day at the office and when I stopped,
- 29:02Speaker 3: horrible headaches. So and they said that it was caffeine withdrawal,
- 29:06Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, don't want to do that anymore.
- 29:10Speaker 1: That is a very real thing. And I've been drinking
- 29:13Speaker 1: so much caffeine lately that I'm actually worried about stopping.
- 29:18Speaker 1: It's like Trey because he just celebrated eight years of sobriety.
- 29:21Speaker 1: When he stopped drinking. He had to wean himself off
- 29:24Speaker 1: of alcohol because he could just stop cold turkey, right,
- 29:27Speaker 1: So if I was too.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Because that's dangerous if you did that, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 29:33Speaker 3: essentially life.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Threatening right now when it comes to caffeine, not life threatening,
- 29:37Speaker 1: but it can definitely affect your body chemistry. And you
- 29:43Speaker 1: can get withdrawals from caffeine. So I would have to
- 29:46Speaker 1: baby step down on the caffeine to avoid the caffeine
- 29:48Speaker 1: free headaches.
- 29:49Speaker 3: You'd have to go from a venty to a tall tall,
- 29:54Speaker 3: and that's smaller venting.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Or a Grande, which is in between the tall and
- 29:58Speaker 1: the Venti. Look, all the jokes have been made on
- 29:59Speaker 1: this sizes and what's large.
- 30:01Speaker 2: And what's not.
- 30:02Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know, I've never like again, I've been
- 30:04Speaker 3: there a couple of times, and I just got the
- 30:05Speaker 3: bottle of water because apparently all the money goes to
- 30:08Speaker 3: the rainforest or whatever whatever lie they're selling on the bottle.
- 30:12Speaker 1: It doesn't go to the rainforest. It goes to help
- 30:14Speaker 1: Starbucks fight unionizing. Oh okay, which I'm sure that the
- 30:21Speaker 1: new CEO will bring from Chipotle over to Starbucks. So
- 30:25Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna make one hundred and thirteen million dollars,
- 30:28Speaker 1: not because it's a great product or because of his
- 30:30Speaker 1: keen business acumen, but it's mainly going to be just
- 30:32Speaker 1: to keep them, just to keep Starbucks from union hesing.
- 30:36Speaker 3: And have you been to the original one, because you're
- 30:38Speaker 3: in Seattle. Now there's the I have.
- 30:40Speaker 1: We actually did Airbnb does experiences as opposed to just
- 30:43Speaker 1: places to stay, and years ago when we came to visit,
- 30:46Speaker 1: we did a chef guided Airbnb experience experience of the
- 30:50Speaker 1: Pike Public Market, and he told us this Starbucks that
- 30:56Speaker 1: everyone thinks is the original where you see this huge
- 30:58Speaker 1: line is not the actual star Our Bucks's actually like
- 31:00Speaker 1: a couple of doors down and it's now like a
- 31:02Speaker 1: patissi read or something. But they call it the original
- 31:05Speaker 1: Starbucks and that's not actually it. Okay, well you have
- 31:08Speaker 1: been there to that Starbucks. I've not been in it,
- 31:11Speaker 1: but I've I've been pasted.
- 31:13Speaker 2: It like a sightseeing tour. You drive you past it.
- 31:16Speaker 1: We walked, we walked past, and then he took us
- 31:19Speaker 1: to what he claimed to be a real coffee shop.
- 31:23Speaker 3: The chef did yeah okay, and.
- 31:27Speaker 1: The coffee was terrible. I wanted my sugar for e
- 31:31Speaker 1: vanilla a lotus And if you've never had the frozen
- 31:39Speaker 1: caramel machiato, oh yeah, no.
- 31:43Speaker 3: Are you a pumpkin spice guy, because I know they
- 31:47Speaker 3: introduced that every year sometime.
- 31:49Speaker 1: To shut up tray, Here's what I'll do. I'll get
- 31:53Speaker 1: the same coffee drink. I mean then usually in Texas
- 31:55Speaker 1: because it's still one hundred degrees in October for pumpkin
- 31:58Speaker 1: spice season. I'll get the same coffee drink and I'll
- 32:00Speaker 1: just haven't put the pumpkin spice powder on top. That's it.
- 32:03Speaker 2: And then you go home and put on your uggs.
- 32:08Speaker 3: Watch a Tom Brady documentary Gray.
- 32:13Speaker 1: In order to go full fall and full pumpkin spice,
- 32:16Speaker 1: you have to wear the uggs to the Starbucks.
- 32:21Speaker 3: But still short shorts.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Right of course, network i'd be hot.

- 33:45Speaker 1: I understand that, Trey, as you are eight years sober.
- 33:50Speaker 1: We learned in the Treehouse plus episode number forty on
- 33:54Speaker 1: Monday that you have become a sugar fiend, which is
- 33:59Speaker 1: very common when people quit drinking. Their body is used
- 34:03Speaker 1: to taking in a certain amount of alcohol, which has
- 34:06Speaker 1: then broken down into sugars. And while you can eventually
- 34:10Speaker 1: beat back the wild boar that is Jack Daniels and
- 34:14Speaker 1: Diet Coke for you, your body still craves that sugar,
- 34:19Speaker 1: and so you've turned into a sugar fiend. And so
- 34:21Speaker 1: That's why when I saw this story, I had questions.
- 34:27Speaker 1: And that is a man is accused of holding a
- 34:31Speaker 1: candy store and its workers at gunpoint over a return dispute,
- 34:37Speaker 1: and because recovering alcoholics are known to be sugar fiends, Trey,
- 34:42Speaker 1: I must ask you, have you been to Myrtle Beach,
- 34:48Speaker 1: South Carolina recently?
- 34:52Speaker 2: I have not.
- 34:54Speaker 4: I went to Myrtle Beach one time. It was probably
- 34:57Speaker 4: twenty years ago, and the most memorable thing about it
- 35:00Speaker 4: as there was a bumper sticker that said LI surrendered.
- 35:03Speaker 2: I didn't. That.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Uh, that sounds like a very uh, southern Southeastern coastal
- 35:14Speaker 1: thing to say.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:16Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also the same place that calls themselves South Caakilaki.
- 35:20Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's just dumb.
- 35:24Speaker 1: It's also dumb to have this sign up that says
- 35:27Speaker 1: LI surrendered.
- 35:27Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 35:28Speaker 1: It's like, well, you aren't even alive during the Civil War.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Like if you had that sign on your property, you know,
- 35:34Speaker 1: next door to Appomattox when they were discussing the you know,
- 35:38Speaker 1: the end of the Civil War, then that would make
- 35:40Speaker 1: more sense. But having it on your front porch along
- 35:43Speaker 1: with a we don't call nine to one one sign
- 35:48Speaker 1: in the twenty first century doesn't carry the same amount
- 35:51Speaker 1: of weight as it would have all the way back
- 35:52Speaker 1: in the nineteenth century.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw in Reno. I was at
- 35:58Speaker 3: a bar and it they had the we don't call
- 36:01Speaker 3: nine one one, and it had an actual pistol attached
- 36:05Speaker 3: to it like voaded. It was also with a very drunk,
- 36:10Speaker 3: pregnant bartender.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Uh uh so Reno, Okay, now all it all makes
- 36:18Speaker 1: sense because I thought it was. I figure the name
- 36:21Speaker 1: of the bar was the Continental, and your bartender was
- 36:23Speaker 1: John Wick.
- 36:25Speaker 3: It might as well happen. But this is, you know,
- 36:27Speaker 3: to Reno. It's the South Carolina of the West. So.
- 36:31Speaker 1: But a man is accused of holding candy store workers
- 36:34Speaker 1: at gunpoint over a return dispute in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Joshua Kim, who thirty six, went into sugar Life ice
- 36:41Speaker 1: cream and candy bar and argued with two employees over
- 36:44Speaker 1: returning candy. When one of the employees told him that
- 36:47Speaker 1: he could not have a refund, he pulled out a
- 36:49Speaker 1: gun and threatened to shoot the two workers. A manager
- 36:52Speaker 1: at sugar Life said they don't do returns on candy,
- 36:55Speaker 1: and they make that very clear. During the checkout process.
- 36:58Speaker 1: I'm sure they probably point to a sign that says
- 37:00Speaker 1: you lick at you buy it. According to one of
- 37:05Speaker 1: the employee victims, they said that the man with the
- 37:09Speaker 1: gun said, I put a chunk in your head if
- 37:11Speaker 1: you don't bring me back my money right now. It's
- 37:13Speaker 1: no lie, it's no lie. Management said the incident happened
- 37:17Speaker 1: in front of other customers, including children. Oh no, the
- 37:21Speaker 1: employee said, this is a candy store for families for kids,
- 37:25Speaker 1: as if it's okay, Like if it was an adult's
- 37:28Speaker 1: only candy store, somehow would be better if a gun
- 37:31Speaker 1: was being pointed at people, but heaven forbid kids saw it.
- 37:35Speaker 3: I also would love to see an adult's only candy store.
- 37:40Speaker 4: If you look at you buy it has a only
- 37:42Speaker 4: new meeting on that one.
- 37:46Speaker 1: And now that layric from fifty cent where he says
- 37:48Speaker 1: I'll take it to the candy shop makes a whole
- 37:51Speaker 1: lot more.
- 37:54Speaker 3: You look at you buy as the shirt the employees.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Wear employees or trafficked peoples.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Has that along with their Vinmo QR code.
- 38:11Speaker 3: So yeah, the only fans on the back the.
- 38:15Speaker 1: QR code in the middle of it has the tongue. Yeah.
- 38:19Speaker 1: So anyway the along police searched. Officers are wordy, go
- 38:24Speaker 1: hang on, hang on, I messed it up. Management said
- 38:26Speaker 1: the incident did happen in front of other customers, including children.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Police said they reviewed surveillance footage at the scene and
- 38:31Speaker 1: it corroborated what employees had told them, So yeah, uh,
