1:40
And as if the feelings of sadness and pain weren't bad, enough with the
1:49
Cowboys loss to Green Bay on Sunday. I don't know if you guys noticed
1:55
my post on Instagram over the weekend, but I have another scorpion problem inside
2:01
my house. I mentioned how we found a scorpion a couple of weeks ago,
2:07
and that scorpion and I went Mono emano and I won because I somehow
2:14
got him into a cup, and I set the cup outside and never thought
2:17
about it again, and I think Tara disposed of it nicely this time.
2:23
However, I go to my bedroom and I look at my my my pjs,
2:31
I got my the T shirt, I sleep in, the shorts I
2:35
sleep in or hanging on the headboard, and Tara calls me upstairs to the
2:40
bedroom, Dan Dan Dan Camary, Like okay, So I go upstairs and
2:43
she's just pointing, and she points at my sleep shorts. And on my
2:46
sleep shorts is a scorpion, A little pale yellowish brown just does beady eyes,
2:55
the pinchers, the tail, the tail. The tail is what terrifies
3:00
me because I don't want to be stung, because I also know the little
3:04
brown ones are the ones that hurt the worst. So here's what I did.
3:07
And this is where I need you guys's input. Okay, So I
3:13
got two cups to scoop the scorpion in, all right. I got a
3:16
big Fuzzies cup on the bottom with a smaller bar cup on top. And
3:21
so the plan was to swoop down on the scorpion that is attached to my
3:25
shorts on the headboard and then seal it with the smaller cup inside the larger
3:30
cup. Right, And it worked. It's beautiful, and one swooping motion,
3:37
I get the bug into the cup. The cup seals on top.
3:40
Now I've got a nice contained scorpion. So I take it outside, go,
3:45
you know, about one hundred yards away so it doesn't roam back into
3:47
the house. Let it roam into somebody else's house. And I remove the
3:52
top cup and I go to fling the scorpion out of the cup into the
3:58
forest. Right. Except when I went to the flinging motion of the Fuzzies
4:03
cup, instead of the scorpions shooting out into the forest, it instead hit
4:09
the air and fluttered to the ground. Oh. And that's when I got
4:15
out my phone and googled do scorpions shed? And Google said yes. And
4:23
that's when I said, oh, yeah, inserted expletive here. So not
4:30
only do I still have a scorpion problem, but apparently I have a naked
4:34
scorpion problem as well. May I ask, what is your aversion to killing
4:46
the fuckers? In my defense, this one was no longer a scorpion.
4:54
It was just the skin, but you didn't know that until you threw it
4:57
out. This is true because I think they eat other things that I don't
5:03
want. I think they do. Yeah, they're not like spiders. Okay,
5:10
look at it this way. I'm not averse to killing them, Trey.
5:14
It's just that I'm afraid that if I do it in the traditional sense
5:17
that I'll still get stung. So I'm trying to find any method I can
5:20
to dispose of the scorpion without getting myself stung. So if you took a
5:25
big shoe and smash the piss out of it, do you think you're going
5:31
to get stung? And let me ask this how I don't want to pick
5:36
up the bug guts because I think that thing's going to shoot stuff all over
5:41
the place and probably get in my eye. And that's it's that's how it
5:44
gets me in the end. That's how it turns update no, those scorpion
5:55
facials for Dan, well, they do say it it's good to find your
6:01
niche. I didn't know the scorpions had a bang bus. The uh yeah.
6:13
I try to answer your question. I would love to burn down the
6:15
house. As soon as I saw the first scorpion. My thought was like
6:19
most people, all right, got to burn the place down. Unfortunately I
6:24
don't own this house, and my Colombian landlord, Kiko, would not let
6:29
me burn down his house in order to rid us of the scorpion problem.
6:31
Yeah, I think the the My question is you'd rather be homeless burn down
6:46
your house. So you see the scorpion and you go, you know what,
6:48
we live on the streets. Now, that's what we get. I
6:53
got a house in I got a house on Saint Thomas. I can go
6:55
to the house on Saint Thomas, kick out one of our tenants and just
6:58
say scorpions out. What if like the band no uh uh uh am again?
7:06
So instead of killing it, you're like, we're homeless now. My
7:10
theory is you're first scorpion. That's that's this one now. So you when
7:15
you put him in the cup and you took him outside and you thought you'd
7:17
gotten him because you went mano and mano. I think what you did was
7:20
she just made him angry and he went off and he started working out,
7:25
and he was working out and he was working out and he got bigger and
7:28
then he just brought his his She had to shed his skin, and then
7:30
he brought it and as it and as I let you know, hey Ben,
7:33
I'm still here. He put it on your shorts and was like,
7:36
yeah, bo, you think you think you killed me last time. I'm
7:40
bigger and I'm better. You're gonna get more stuff on your face that is
7:44
terrifying or or or he's like a stalker and you know you rejected him and
7:48
now he's just he wants you more. Yeah, so you know he's he's
7:53
worked out and he's shed his skin and now he's gonna be buffer and yeah
7:57
pretty or for you, Yeah, bigger, a bigger stinger. I really
8:01
don't like where this is going, especially when you factor in sort of a
8:09
cape fear aspect to it. It's gonna, it's gonna it's gonna be your
8:13
your bbs, your big brown scorpion Trey. I don't have a good answer
8:22
for you as far as uh why I don't just smash it. The first
8:28
one that I saw, I couldn't get an angle because it was in the
8:31
utility closet and there was stuff in the way and I and I was wearing
8:35
I was wearing flip flops and I'm not about to step on the thing and
8:37
it reaches the tail up and still stabs me in the toe. But there
8:41
there was no good way to get it smashing it at that point. This
8:46
one, uh, I was just gonna do what I would typically do with
8:50
a spider, which is capture it and rehome it down the street, right,
8:56
thinking maybe it has some use that will keep other things I don't want
9:00
and you know, around, even though I've taken it down the street.
9:03
So I don't have a good answer for you why I don't just start squashing
9:05
the damn things. Also, you have found it, also, I have
9:09
not found it as much as you know, as funny it is to say,
9:13
oh, you just burned on a house. That's not a reality.
9:15
Again, my Colombian landlord will not let me do that. I've asked,
9:20
But ultimately I don't know. I don't know why I don't just squish the
9:28
thing unless somewhere I'm worried that it's going to spark some type of scorpion uprising,
9:33
and next thing you know, it's just me surrounded by a bunch of
9:37
pissed off scorpions. And that's that's what's gonna happen, because your wife is
9:41
gonna just go you know what, Dan, I'm not sleeping with scorpions,
9:46
have fun, and so you're gonna wake up. Oh you're gonna be spooning
9:50
with a scorpion. No, I've seen those videos, but it's not a
9:56
scorpions. I think you're in those. Uh yeah, I just uh,
10:03
I think that it would just be an easier resolution to your problems if you
10:07
just went and just stepped on it and be done. Can can she handle
10:13
the the gut stuff? If it's dead? Can she handle that? Because
10:16
you can, you can handle the killing. Maybe you guys should like scorpion
10:20
busters. I don't know what. I don't know what you guys would be
10:22
like, you kill them and then she cleans it up. It's sort of
10:26
like fishing. Yeah, I see what you mean. It's like you go
10:28
catch them and then you take them home and then you know, the wife
10:30
cleans them and cooks them. Yeah. So yeah, that should be a
10:35
shirt. But uh, could can she handle the the the cleanup? I
10:43
don't know, Yeah, because then you can find Yeah, I just need
10:46
I just need to man up and squash the thing. Yeah, and but
10:50
have her clean it up, and then you can see if it actually does
10:52
sting you after it's dead. I'm just not sure how. I'm not sure
10:58
how she would react if she if she says, if she calls me into
11:00
the room because there's a scorpion, I take off my flip flop, reach
11:03
back and smash it, and then I turn and walk away and then flip
11:09
the flip flop over my shoulder Action Star style and then say, you clean
11:13
up the mess. I'll see her. I just heard her chuckle from the
11:16
out the room. I don't think that's gonna fly. Try try try doing
11:20
that and go make me a sandwich. Try. I'd rather I'd rather wake
11:26
up surrounded by scorpions. You're in the Treehouse. Visit us online at treehouseonair
11:41
dot com. Let's get Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing into the tree House now,
11:50
because I know that she's not busy doing anything else right now. The number
11:54
four Brooks Plumbing for any and all of you are plumbing ones in need?
11:56
Is of course two one, four, three, six, eight thirty eight
12:00
eight I say that, of course, I'm kidding because it's very cold.
12:03
It has been cold, and is this in the plumbing business, Jaqueline,
12:07
what would be referred to as you know, like plumbing season or a frozen
12:11
pipe season. It's plumbing season. So because we didn't have a lot any
12:16
that I'm aware of rolling blackouts in Texas, there have been significantly less freeze
12:20
breaks on water lines. But shockingly, what I'm seeing now is frozen sewer
12:28
stoppages or frozen pea traps. So water or let's just go with the stoppage
12:35
like so, a stoppage will get stuck somewhere in a pipe in a second
12:39
story of a home and it froze, and that homeowner is trying to drip
12:43
their faucets in that upstairs bathroom, but the sewer drain is just slowly but
12:48
surely filling with water. And then we've been seeing it leaking from up to
12:52
down. So it's raining kind of clean, kind of dirt, dirty water
12:58
inside their houses. And that's a matter of breaking it up with the sewer
13:03
machine and attempting to push it through. I've seen two of those this year,
13:07
and I'm like, wow, that's interesting. But I want to talk
13:09
about just for two seconds ingenuity. I went to Walmart on Friday looking for
13:15
hose bib covers, couldn't find any, bought a pair of women's muckluck socks.
13:20
Sorry that's the baby beagle barking, and wrapped my hose bibs in the
13:24
muckluck socks, and then wrapped the muckluck socks in grocery bags. And I
13:28
was like, yeah, that'll do. And my old nineteen seventies farmhouse is
13:31
doing just fine. So you just be ingenious and think outside of the boxes.
13:37
The key to survival. That is a great one, the muckluck socks.
13:41
I like that. There was one. I've also seen people do the
13:43
when they couldn't find the regular hose bib covers. Is I've heard waaburger cups
13:48
can also do wonders. You can do that, but you have to surround
13:54
it. So if you get the waterburger cup, shove newspaper or shove like
14:00
think like shavings, like would sawdust? Almost gotcha? Okay, I'm busy,
14:05
Yes you are. She's not too busy for you to give Brooks Plumbing
14:09
a call right now for any of those plumbing once and needs, especially if
14:13

15:54
did a quick sweep of the house. No scorpions that I can see,
15:56
but sleeping the last couple of days has been interesting because like every little like
16:02
slight twinge or tickle, like I feel like whether it's on my foot or
16:07
like in my hair, I felt like, I think, is that one?
16:11
Is that? Is that a scorpion? Is that the one that shed
16:14
its skin and left it on my shorts? Yes, yeah, yeah,
16:17
that's exactly what it is. Thanks. Yeah, it's a really diabolical scorpion
16:25
that that shed and then he made his way into your house put it on
16:27
your It's very very like the scorpion mafia. Like he just left you a
16:32
little like hey, here we go, and then he left and it's like
16:34
he'll never be able to sleep right again. I also I think they also
16:37
they naturally they shed when they have babies. Yeah, I've heard that too.
16:45
You're not You're not helping my sleep problems because as it is, we
16:48
already we already check under the sheets, you know, just just because where
16:52
we live. Yeah, on Saint John. We're up on Bordeaux Mountain,
16:57
and we learned recently that the elevation where we live is called the moist forest,
17:07
and that apparently is is popular among all sorts of critters, and that
17:12
includes you know, scorpions, but you know, anything else. So we
17:17
will check under the sheets, under the under the covers for anything that might
17:22
be lying in wait. That forest has got to be like ninety mail though.
17:30
I'm glad you said it because I was thinking it because it's because it's
17:36
moist the that's that's that just sounds like so that a white person named it.
17:48
That that's what we were told, we live in the moist forest.
17:56
That be part of your mailing that dress, that would be amazing. Number
18:02
one moist forest Lane, moist Forest. I come from the moist forest.
18:15
I just walk out looking like swamp thing. Yeah, I was just looking
18:22
it up and you check onder the sheets. That's great, but they're known
18:25
and their babies are known to grow under the other side of the pillow,
18:27
the cool side. We check that too. We also check on we check
18:30
under the sheet, we check under the blanket, we check under the pillows.
18:34
I will check under the bed. The thing is, though, because
18:38
of all the different critters that we have seen, I'm now at the point
18:42
where that I'm even looking for camel spiders, just because at this point I
18:52
think anything is possible. We've heard over the years being on the radio service
18:55
members coming back from Afghanistan or Iraq, and we've seen photos of the camel
19:00
spiders and how freaky those are. They look like the face huggers and alien.
19:06
So I'm really at this point I don't know what's going to come out
19:08
of the moist forest. It will be a camel spider. I mean,
19:11
it's the name camel moist. They don't go together, they don't. That's
19:17
a scorpion. Oh ot, you know, that's match made in heaven.
19:23
You know. I don't feel good, but there is something that will make
19:26
me feel at least slightly better. What is that? Dan? That would
19:30
be birthdays that segue really stunned. Oh no, yeah, I went there.
19:42
That was good. That's so. Yeah, apparently there's a lot of
19:45
brain decay at the moist forest level. All right, Today is Fred Day,
19:52
January nineteenth, twenty twenty four. Birthdays today, let's celebrate and say
19:57
happy birthday to Olympic gold medalist and Dancing with the Stars champion season eight that
20:04
is Sean Johnson. She is thirty two today. She actually won season eight
20:08
of Dancing with the Stars when she was seventeen, which, after being an
20:14
Olympic gold medalist, probably seem pretty damn easy. Why you talk. Not
20:18
a whole lot of pressure packed, you know situations on Dancing with the Stars,
20:22
at least in comparison to you know, gymnastics. We've also got Stephanie
20:30
from full House and Fuller House. Jody Sweeten, she turns forty two today.
20:36
Wow, didn't she have like a meth thing? Didn't she have a
20:41
She's like, like like many Hollywood child stars, she's had She's had some,
20:47
you know, some struggles. Okay, but specifically it was meth.
20:52
I don't remember. Yeah, I don't want to get sued, but maybe
20:57
maybe meth. Yeah, she would if it was meth. I will say
21:04
she's one of the few people. She's one of the few people that came
21:07
out of a meth problem looking better than when she went in. Okay,
21:15
yeah, uh, she she retained her teeth or got new ones. I
21:19
have no idea. Okay, she maintained a heartbeat, so you know that
21:25
she gives her an edge, asked Dana Plato. Oh yeah, I drop
21:33
on Dana Plato right on her grave. All right. De Drea de Mateo
21:37
from Amazon's Paradise City. Most of us remember her as Adriana on The Sopranos.
21:44
She was also on Sons of Anarchy. She is fifty two today.
21:48
Sean Wayans, brother of Damon too many Williams's sorry, it's Damon Wayne's son,
21:56
right or nephew. No, Well, Sean is is That's what it
22:03
is. Are the brothers. Okay, got it? So Sean Wayans,
22:08
he's fifty three today. He was in White Chicks, Little Man, and
22:12
Scary Movie. I believe it was Scary movie that had one of the more
22:15
memorable death scenes. That was one where he goes into the bathroom uh and
22:22
uh sticks his ear up to the glory hole, and and and the greener
22:26
shirts through his brain talk about a memorable death. Well, that's that's the
22:33
one I definitely remember. Other birthdays today Marcy Playground singer John Wozniak is fifty
22:41
three today. Also Paul mccrane. You don't You probably don't know him by
22:47
his name, but you'll know him by his face. He's sixty three today.
22:51
He was doctor Romano on er he's on with the red hair and bald
22:56
I guess side red hair and bald on top. But I I'm not sure,
23:00
Raj, if you saw this movie or not. But I know Trey
23:03
and I have. We know him best as the guy that RoboCop melted.
23:10
Did not see it. He was one of the bad guys. He was
23:14
one of the henchmen that killed Murphy in RoboCop. And then when RoboCop started
23:19
to become more sentient and realizing that, oh I was, I was a
23:22
person once and he goes back and eliminates the entire gang that murdered him.
23:30
Birthday boy was the one that was the one that RoboCop melted. Was he
23:37
on twenty four as well? Was he in the season of twenty four?
23:41
He might have been, He might have been. He was also He was
23:45
also in the classic nineteen eighty film Fame. Yes, yes, he wasn't
23:52
twenty four. He wasn't twenty four. I know he's he always plays like
23:56
on Er. He was like the super arrogant. He was the one that
24:00
everybody hated. And then he I think he lost his arm. I think
24:03
in one of the episodes. Oh, you're right, I see it here
24:06
he was Jack Bauer's brother Gream on twenty four. That's right. Yeah,
24:11
So Paul mccrane died in Er. Like the way he was killed made it
24:14
seem like he was in a contract dispute with the producers and they decided,
24:18
not only are we not giving you that raise, we're gonna kill you dead,
24:21
dead dead, And they went to the writers and said kill him dead.
24:25
And so he was killed off in Er by a helicopter that crashed on
24:30
top of him. Yes, yeah, that's uh, that's when you've pissed
24:34
off the writers. It's like what's her name on Gray's Anatomy, the the
24:40
pretty the girl who was in Knocked Up. Yeah, I can't remember her
24:45
name, but she she did an interview where she was talking about the writers,
24:48
and so they're like, oh, okay, We're gonna give you a
24:49
brain to her that makes you have sex with the ghost enjoy, and then
24:56
they killed her off. That was it was a believable scene. We're gonna
25:04
Paul mcgrade's IMDb. The thing that really stands out on that that really it's
25:08
a forgotten blunder of TV history. Cop Rock. Oh oh, Stephen Bochko,
25:15
No, what was cop Rock? Was it a musical? Remember,
25:19
I believe correctly, Trey check this on the IMDb. As you're looking at
25:23
it. I want to say this came out. It was either eighty nine
25:29
or ninety. I'm gonna go ninety. I'm gonna go the Fall of ninety.
25:33
It was cop Rock. So it was it was sort of like,
25:37
so you know Law and Order, right, the first part of the show
25:40
is the detectives, and the second that's the law, and the second half
25:44
is the order where they're all in court and the cases decided. That's what
25:48
cop Rock was before Law and Order existed. They had the police and they
25:52
had the courts. But they sang it was a musical. No, this
26:00
is what happens when Hollywood gives too much power to one person. Stephen Botchko,
26:06
I forgot what else he had done he was so successful, might have
26:11
been Hill Story Blues. He was so successful that that Hollywood said, yes,
26:15
you can do cop Rock. Yeah, maybe he was ahead of his
26:19
time. Maybe it could have aired after Glee. You know sometimes sometimes what
26:30
do they say, not only in real estate, but maybe in Hollywood location
26:33
location location. Maybe it's like if it was ABC or whatever it was that
26:37
was uh that had cop Rock, it was just the wrong channel. If
26:41
they had it on like the Disney Channel after you know, the High School
26:45
Musical, or on Fox after Glee, Like ro just had a shot Glee
26:49
cop Rock the voice like it would have been beautiful, Like it would have
26:52
been just a marriage of horribleness. Uh cop Rock. You know That's that's
27:00
again what makes me laugh about Hollywood is he wanted to do a meeting with
27:03
executives that were sitting around the table and then what do you got there,
27:06
Stephen? I'm sure they just called him botch? What do you got botch?
27:07
And he's like, all right, cops that sing and they went take
27:12
a bagload of money, get out of here. That's why that's why you're
27:15
doing I am I am with you. I don't understand how it is some
27:18
things ever get greenlit in Hollywood unless it is some sort of coked out fever
27:23
dream. So here are here are some of the Stephen Botchko successes right before
27:33
Cop Rock. Are you ready? You have Hill Street Blues eighty one to
27:37
eighty seven, La Law eighty six to ninety four, So he was still
27:41
in the height of La Law when Cop Rock hit the air. He also
27:47
had one year of Doogie Howser MD under his belt because that started the year
27:52
before Cop Rock, so he was on a good run. They were like,
27:59
yeah, you want to do a cop musical TV show. Here's like
28:03
you said, ros, here's your here's you a bag of money to do
28:06
it. Get out of here. But what's next? Uh less unless the
28:11
studio person or the network whatever it was, had a beef with him and
28:18
said no you, and for whatever reason, Boko comes like I got a
28:22
new idea, and instead of saying no, he just like, go for
28:26
it. No one, No one remembers the studio executive that greenlit Cop Rock.
28:33
But I mean I remember that it was a Botchko baby. Yeah,
28:37
I'm gonna have my own show. It's gonna be it's gonna be uh singing
28:41
doctors, and it's gonna be it's it's yeah, it's gonna it's. It's
28:44
called singer. But at the end the e r is capitalized. Oh you're
28:48
not ready for it? Oh I get it? Singing in the er uh
28:52
huh. Yeah, that's right, because that's exactly what you would want in
28:55
a medical emergency song and and and patients busting out into song. I wish
29:02
I was a dead man, What killed you? Scorpions in my bed?
29:15
That would be fantastic. Sing you or singer, That's what it's gonna be.
29:18
It's good. I can only I feel like they've already sent the money.
29:22
I'm just waiting for it to arrive at my doorstop. I'll let you
29:25
guys know. I kind of think though that maybe that's what ABC did with
29:29
their show Good Doctor, with you know, the special needs doctor. The
29:33
I guess he's just playing an autistic doctor. It's like, did they try
29:37
to get away with spelling it doctor with an er as well? Or and
29:41
they were corrected? Ah, that would have been good too. You're onto
29:47
something we should collaborate on more show ideas. Hey, we can't do any
29:52
worse than cop Rock. I'm not sure. I wouldn't speak so fast.

30:15
Time out to talk to Carrie Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. I
30:21
guess I wore out my welcome with Daniel and he's now seeking you on me.
30:23
Carrie, What did I do to deserve you think? Did anything?
30:29
Well? I don't know, man, It guess it depends you might have
30:30
done something. Let's start with this. The number to call you at COOKDFW
30:37
Roofing and Restoration is, of course eight three three Cook DFW. Get that
30:40
free roof inspection, especially after all the cold weather we had. Those cold
30:44
temperatures can do some numbers on the roof. You want to have it checked
30:48
out to see if it's in good shape or not. You give Carrie and
30:51
Daniel a call eight three three Cook DFW. They'll come out and check it
30:53
for you for free. Outside of that, I'm curious. The big news
30:57
in Dallas this week is, of course, Mike McCarthy is keeping his job
31:03
as head coach of the Cowboys. And I know you and Daniel are big
31:06
Cowboys fans just like we are. So box feelings. I'm okay with it.
31:11
I don't think that he should be fired. Interesting And why is that?
31:15
Well, I mean killing Moore called plays for how long? And he
31:17
got to keep his job for how long? Mmm? Okay, you know.
31:21
I mean, if you're gonna fire because the play call is going to
31:22
be bys, I think you need to revisit your players. It's it's not
31:26
so much the coaching, it's the execution on the player's side. It wasn't
31:30
really pretty the other night. It definitely there. You were at the game.
31:34
Yes, well did you boo? We left? Wow? You didn't
31:40
even waste time booing. You just said, screw it, we're out.
31:42
It was it was just it was embarrassing. I was actually hoping, I
31:45
said this on the Football podcast. I was actually hoping. I wish that
31:48
all the fans had been so angry they booed so and would have booed so
31:53
loudly it would have made an actual hole in the roof as opposed to a
31:59
planned one. And then that way you and Daniel could have slipped Jerry a
32:02
couple of business cards. There you go, Right, come on, Jerry,
32:06
we'll give you that free roof inspection. There you go. I like
32:09

33:04
Plumbing or the website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com. I took a quick look.
33:08
We were talking about cop Rock creator Stephen Botchko, and there was a
33:14
couple of other shows that were also misses. Even he even though he's had
33:17
some obvious successes with Hillstory Blues La Law NYPD Blue Doogie Howser. There was
33:23
another show called Raising the Bar that only lasted one year two thousand and eight
33:31
to two thousand and nine. Based on the photo and the title Raising the
33:36
Bar, I'm guessing it was a legal drama, although based on our mashup
33:40
history, I'm guessing it could have been lawyers doing ballet, which I mean
33:47
if for the guy that had, you know, cops singing in the streets,
33:52
then why why would legal ballet be you know, a stretch? Just
34:00
realized the pun there. But there was another show on here that I remember
34:06
watching that did not last very long, And when I give you the title
34:09
and the premise of it, you're going to understand why, because it's another
34:12
great example of why did Hollywood think this was going to work? That is
34:17
the show that came and went in two thousand and five called Blind Justice,
34:25
And I remember watching this show. I don't know why, but this was
34:30
a NYPD detective who gets injured in the line of duty and is blinded,
34:37
but he returns to work with his disability to still solve crimes, despite his
34:43
fellow detectives being wary of working with him because he may not see the bad
34:46
guys coming. That's not me saying that. That was the blurb on Google
34:54
and it actually what's that tray? Blind Justice is what it was called Blind
35:00
Justice, and I remember the I like the actor who starred in and maybe
35:02
that's why I watched it. His name is Ron Elderd and he was in
35:07
He's been in a number of things. I don't know if you guys have
35:08
seen Deep Impact as many times as I have. He played one of the
35:12
astronauts and Deep Impact. He was also in Super eight Blackhawk Down. He
35:15
was also in Sleepers back in ninety six. But looking at the other cast
35:21
members of Blind Justice won Frank Grillo, who went on to some Marvel success
35:25
as Captain America's nemesis. Oh okay, yeah, and he also had a
35:31
turn as the Punisher. Oh who didn't. So they made Blind Justice and
35:40
it failed, and they still put out Ben affleckt as Daredevil. See again
35:46
ahead of its time? What year was this? Blind Justice was two thousand
35:52
and five? Oh so a year ahead of its time? Now, because
36:00
I don't think personally Ben Affleck is Daredevil not my favorite. I thought that
36:05
actually came out in two thousand and three, So that that actually came out
36:07
before Blind just so they saw it and they still did it stupid. Yeah,
36:13
well they were trying. They were probably trying to capitalize on it,
36:16
right, and so they're like, hey, they made a movie, why
36:19
don't we make a serious I got into a discussion with the Hollywood execs about
36:22
this. I'm like, how do you guys come up with? What is
36:23
it? Like? You have n CIS and then you'll have whatever the other
36:28
one was the they're ones, Oh yeah, the other ones, and they're
36:31
like c n CIS Louise, New Orleans. Yeah, but then like they
36:36
had CSI and then they had something else. And I asked in Chase if
36:40
they go to city to city Yeah, yeah, And then I asked I
36:43
was like I was asking one of the execs at CBS. I was like,
36:45
hey, so how does it work? They go, we watched like
36:47
if there's some groundbreaking new thing like Brianca Chopra and Quantico. Right, They're
36:52
like, well, let's see if it works. And then if that works,
36:54
the next year, they flew in all these actors from India. We're
36:58
in Hollywood because they were trying to read Every network was trying to recreate it
37:01
because of how well it did. So that's how it goes. So if
37:05
they saw this, you know, they saw Daredevil and it was like,
37:07
oh my god, it made so much money. Okay, let's put it
37:09
into a TV show. So that's how, you know. I don't know
37:13
how cop Rock happened. I don't know that's the same. I'm sure there
37:19
was another something musically that was very popular at that time. And because,
37:23
like you said, with a chopra Quantico. Yeah yeah, well then they
37:30
put her she's the one who married the Jonas brother, right, yes,
37:34
yeah, So then they did Citadel, which I don't know if you saw
37:36
that, Yeah, not great, Okay, yeah, but they which is
37:40
kind of like basically spin off of Quantico. Well yeah, it's basically,
37:44
you know, take one good idea and we'll beat the crap out of it
37:46
and you go get nine other shows that are horrible. Man, are you
37:52
still talking about Hollywood? Are you talking about radio? Well? Uh,
38:01
speaking of bad television. Trey sent me a link that I'm not quite sure
38:09
how to explain or even set this up, because this is so stupid that
38:16
it belongs squarely here in the treehouse, and I am ashamed that we haven't
38:22
had it in here sooner it is. It's probably I will say that it's
38:27
probably the most unscripted. Who's on first interaction? I think I've ever seen
38:35
Trey? If you could set this clip up for us so I can't remember
38:45
the guy's name. He's a contributor on Fox News and he's on Laura Ingram
38:49
show. He oftentimes I believe he's an attorney, and it'll come in and
38:52
you know, we just make different points about culture and you know, things
38:57
that are going on. Okay, and this is Laura Ingram, Laura Ingram
39:01
on her ship. Yeah, okay, hang on, watchuring an episode of

39:51

40:04
You know, I was watching an episode. I love that. That's it.
40:07
I'm moving on to a Dell. I just I mean she I can't
40:10
even did she ever? That is That's the saddest ship I've ever heard.
40:15
You know, you know it was bad because you could actually see facial expressions
40:20
on her boatox ridden face. Yeah, when frustration can cut through the botox.
40:29
Yeah, that that was. That was those stupid botulism gave up.
40:37

41:06
of that, we will see you for the next episode right here in the Trios
