- 1:25Speaker 1: Sisters were or are?
- 1:27Speaker 3: So can you?
- 1:28Speaker 1: Yes?
- 1:28Speaker 2: So enlighten you Remember when the Learning Channel had stuff

- 1:35Speaker 1: No, all the all the original all the o G
- 1:38Speaker 1: television channels. Yeah, I'll do vastly different things than what
- 1:42Speaker 1: they started out.
- 1:43Speaker 2: This is all like bariatric surgeries and morbidly obese people.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Is now the Learning channel and sometimes some sort of paranormal.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Isn't isn't TLC doing? Isn't that where doctor pimple popper?
- 1:57Speaker 2: Yes?
- 1:57Speaker 3: Yeah, is this like the my hundred pounds life or
- 2:01Speaker 3: whatever the hell it is and stuff?
- 2:02Speaker 2: Yeah with that with doctor now down in Houston. Yeah,
- 2:05Speaker 2: he's uh, he's falling out of control. He's he's hilarious.
- 2:08Speaker 2: He just tells people they're fat and lazy. And it's
- 2:11Speaker 2: awesome because he says things that you want to say
- 2:13Speaker 2: to people. He's like, he's the reason you are fat?
- 2:17Speaker 2: Is you eats much? And then he just walks out
- 2:18Speaker 2: of the room a lot.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Yes, there's one cliff where you know he's morbidly a
- 2:24Speaker 3: beast woman. He's said something about being a picky eater.
- 2:26Speaker 3: He goes, you are six hundred pounds. You are not
- 2:28Speaker 3: a picky eater. Yeah.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Wow, he must be a hell of a surgeon to
- 2:34Speaker 1: be able to have that bedside manner he is, and
- 2:39Speaker 1: or I guess, actually more accurate would be a trough
- 2:42Speaker 1: side manner.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Yes, he said that to be like he'll just call
- 2:46Speaker 2: him out. They're like, you know, I've been sticking to
- 2:48Speaker 2: the diet and I've been doing the exercise He's like,
- 2:50Speaker 2: why are you lying to me? You're still fat? And
- 2:52Speaker 2: then he just walks out of the room. It's like
- 2:54Speaker 2: I can't, I can't deal with him. Send them home.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I've never I've never even heard of I've never heard
- 2:58Speaker 1: of the thousand pounds Sisters. I have not heard of
- 3:00Speaker 1: doctor Now, which sounds like a weird Austin Powers spoof of.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Yes, doctor Nazzarden is his name, but he goes by
- 3:09Speaker 2: doctor now because nobody can say his last.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Name makes sense. What's the show My six hundred pound life?
- 3:15Speaker 4: Oh?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Okay, okay? And the show I've heard of? I just
- 3:17Speaker 1: didn't know he was the star of it. Yeah, telling
- 3:19Speaker 1: six hundred pound plus people your effect.
- 3:22Speaker 2: And you always Yeah, if you have to wonder, like,
- 3:24Speaker 2: if you start watching the show, you'll never see a
- 3:26Speaker 2: like it's very rare. The where are they now? Like
- 3:29Speaker 2: a follow up? Because most of them die, flash.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Of them makes for a really easy follow up. Yes,
- 3:35Speaker 1: just Graton lies, that's right there.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Yeah, but the thousand pounds Sisters are our sisters. One
- 3:44Speaker 2: of them is over six hundred pounds and the other
- 3:46Speaker 2: one is about four hundred. Dish the one who's over
- 3:49Speaker 2: six hundred pounds she's lost a tremendous amount of weight
- 3:52Speaker 2: with bariatric surgery and exercise and diet change. But she
- 3:55Speaker 2: was so big that when she would gain weight, it
- 3:58Speaker 2: would be like there was like a mass on her
- 4:00Speaker 2: forehead because there was nowhere else for fat to go.
- 4:04Speaker 2: So it's just a huge mass on her forehead of
- 4:07Speaker 2: just fried chicken just boomed right there. But they they
- 4:15Speaker 2: were drinking up to ten to twelve SODA's a day
- 4:18Speaker 2: is what they're on average drinking. But this one of
- 4:22Speaker 2: the sisters of the four hundred pounder was at a
- 4:25Speaker 2: wildlife preserve where she was bitten by a camel and
- 4:29Speaker 2: when the police arrived they found shrooms and weed and.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Was she trying to get on the camel? He was like, well, no.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Well it's either that or it was a drug biting
- 4:42Speaker 1: camel instead of a drug sniffing dog. The Safari Park
- 4:49Speaker 1: has a drug biting camel that they deployed to make
- 4:52Speaker 1: sure that it's a safe space.
- 4:55Speaker 2: I would love to see that camel. Like when they
- 4:58Speaker 2: when she gets out of the car, he's like, you know,
- 5:00Speaker 2: take me back to the desert. I'm good, I'm not.
- 5:03Speaker 2: I didn't sign up for this crap.
- 5:04Speaker 1: It's kind of like in It's like in the cartoons
- 5:07Speaker 1: we all grew up with. When one of the characters
- 5:09Speaker 1: we get hit in the head, the lump would pop up,
- 5:13Speaker 1: and then if he pushes on the lump, another one
- 5:15Speaker 1: would pop up on another spot. So I wonder if
- 5:17Speaker 1: that's what happened. You're right, Like one of the thousand
- 5:19Speaker 1: pounds sisters tried to get on the camel sat on
- 5:21Speaker 1: one of the humps and another hump shot up and
- 5:23Speaker 1: then the camel bit he.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Yes, but then subsequently, after after to add insult to injury.
- 5:31Speaker 1: To the camel, Yes, they did this, discover.
- 5:34Speaker 2: A strange odor coming from the car and one of
- 5:39Speaker 2: the police officers went, I know what that smell is,
- 5:42Speaker 2: And they found mushrooms and weed, which is why I'm
- 5:47Speaker 2: guessing she's four hundred pounds.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Ye don't. I don't think she needs extra motivation to
- 5:52Speaker 1: be snacky.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Maybe she was using it to curb her diet. And
- 6:02Speaker 2: mushrooms are vegetable, right.
- 6:05Speaker 1: They're they're the low calorie. They're good for volume, for
- 6:07Speaker 1: taking up space in your in your tummy.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Uh huh.
- 6:10Speaker 1: It's actullently if you're trying to lose weight, mushrooms are phenomenal, Yeah,
- 6:14Speaker 1: but if if hers are the drug type mushrooms, then
- 6:17Speaker 1: I don't know if that curb your appetite or makes
- 6:19Speaker 1: it more because I don't do who losinnogens.
- 6:22Speaker 2: I don't, I've not done them. I would like to try.
- 6:24Speaker 2: I know people that microdose mushrooms, and I've I've heard
- 6:29Speaker 2: really good things about that. I would, I would give
- 6:31Speaker 2: that a whirl. But I'm not just gonna take some
- 6:35Speaker 2: psychedelic and sit in the woods.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Well, I'm certainly not going to take a psychedelic and
- 6:39Speaker 1: go to a safari park because who is God knows
- 6:42Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to those animals in your geek out mind.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I mean, no, I'm not doing that.
- 6:50Speaker 3: I don't. I don't.
- 6:51Speaker 2: I just want to hear the rest of the story
- 6:52Speaker 2: where you find out she'd bit first. Maybe she was
- 6:58Speaker 2: just on mushrooms and just saw it like I got this.
- 7:03Speaker 2: It's like it's like same with those cartoons. While it
- 7:06Speaker 2: just turns into a turkey leg Mmm, it's like I
- 7:08Speaker 2: gotta get got.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Amy Slayton from the reality show One Thousand Pounds Sisters
- 7:16Speaker 1: had an eventful labor day. She went to the Tennessee
- 7:18Speaker 1: Safari Park with her kids, four year old Gauge and
- 7:21Speaker 1: two year old Glenn, plus a man named Brian Scott Lavorne.
- 7:26Speaker 1: At some point during the visit, Amy claims she was
- 7:28Speaker 1: bitten by a camel. While she was being treated, park
- 7:32Speaker 1: employees noticed a suspicious smell and found pot and mushrooms
- 7:36Speaker 1: just sitting in plain sight in the car. Amy and
- 7:39Speaker 1: her companion were arrested on drug possession and child endangerment charges,
- 7:43Speaker 1: and the kids were placed in the custody of family.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Amy shares the kids with her ex husband, who filed
- 7:49Speaker 1: for divorce in March of twenty twenty three. I can
- 7:51Speaker 1: probably see why. And TMZ spoke with one of the
- 7:56Speaker 1: park owners who doubts that Amy was bitten by one
- 7:59Speaker 1: of their camels. Supposedly, the cut in her arm is
- 8:02Speaker 1: not indicative of a camel bite. Oh great, so even
- 8:05Speaker 1: the Safari park people have, you know, camel?
- 8:08Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 8:09Speaker 2: What is What does a Tennessee Safari Park look like?
- 8:12Speaker 2: That's all I want to know, Like, is it a
- 8:14Speaker 2: Safari park or just some dude's backyard.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's a front for the Moonshine Distillery.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Still, I don't realize the prohibition's over.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Sometimes you go so far backwoods the news doesn't doesn't
- 8:28Speaker 1: penetrate how deep into the backwoods you've gone.
- 8:32Speaker 2: In Tennessee, I would not doubt it. Uh but yeah
- 8:35Speaker 2: I would. Who's like, let's get let's trip balls and
- 8:40Speaker 2: go to the preserve.
- 8:43Speaker 1: If anything, based on a lot of the videos I've
- 8:45Speaker 1: seen from some of those safari parks, you want to
- 8:48Speaker 1: keep your wits about you. That's one of the few
- 8:50Speaker 1: places in this world I want to be sober at.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Yes, did you see the one where the giraffe takes
- 8:55Speaker 2: the kid?
- 8:56Speaker 3: Oh?
- 8:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that one.
- 8:57Speaker 2: That was a fantastic one. You want to talk about endangerment.
- 9:01Speaker 1: That's why you don't do the shrooms and stuff, because like,
- 9:04Speaker 1: if if that was my kid and I'm doing the shrooms,
- 9:06Speaker 1: I may just giggle like, yeah, look at that, it's
- 9:10Speaker 1: taking that little money sucker away.
- 9:12Speaker 2: My kid can fly.
- 9:16Speaker 1: It does. Once you see that video, though, it actually
- 9:18Speaker 1: puts into perspective all the other videos you see of
- 9:21Speaker 1: the kids freaking out crying when the when the camel
- 9:24Speaker 1: or the giraffe sticks its head either into the window
- 9:29Speaker 1: or through the sun rip the sounders. One of the
- 9:31Speaker 1: best ones and the tongues come in they start licking
- 9:33Speaker 1: up the feed from the buckets and stuff in this case,
- 9:35Speaker 1: so you got to watch out because if you're one
- 9:37Speaker 1: of the thousand pounds sisters, you can't just randomly get
- 9:39Speaker 1: out of the vehicle and just start sticking your head
- 9:41Speaker 1: in people's food buckets. Although video.
- 9:48Speaker 2: She finished hers on the way in.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Drugs make you do weird stuff.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Man.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Yeah, the Dallas Zoo lets you feed the giraffe. They
- 9:56Speaker 2: have a little space where you go up and you
- 9:59Speaker 2: buy lettuce and you feed the giraffes. Let us. So
- 10:01Speaker 2: that's a bit safer. And uh, you know it's when
- 10:05Speaker 2: it's when it's the Dallas Zoo and they're trying to
- 10:07Speaker 2: be safe. Yeah, that says something. So I can't imagine
- 10:11Speaker 2: how this safari park in Tennessee handles the welfare of
- 10:18Speaker 2: its patrons.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Well, I think a good indicator is when the safari
- 10:23Speaker 1: park's name is Jack Daniels Safari Park, Booze and Buffalo's
- 10:37Speaker 1: I mean that actually would get me to go.
- 10:39Speaker 2: I was gonna say I would go to the Jack
- 10:42Speaker 2: Daniels Wildlife.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm actually I'm just going to google
- 10:45Speaker 1: that to see what pops up and then see how
- 10:47Speaker 1: much flights are, and then check out an Airbnb nearby.
- 10:52Speaker 3: I think I have an exhibit there.
- 11:00Speaker 1: It's just Terray in his own enclosure.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Reading, just reading the paper and cussing people out. I
- 11:13Speaker 2: don't know how many tickets that is, but I would
- 11:14Speaker 2: buy it every time.
- 11:18Speaker 1: But it's only it's only special times of the year.
- 11:21Speaker 1: It's not year round because that's how special you are,
- 11:24Speaker 1: because the rest of the year they got to send
- 11:26Speaker 1: you back to the Smithsonian.
- 11:33Speaker 4: You're in the visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I remembered it today two days in a row that
- 11:44Speaker 1: I remember to do the Fairly spot and at least
- 11:46Speaker 1: today is the proper day for me to do it,
- 11:50Speaker 1: not that I've been to the Jack Daniels Safari part
- 11:53Speaker 1: before the show. I thought that it would explain why
- 11:55Speaker 1: I do things on different days. Are you ready for
- 11:58Speaker 1: a new car and would you like to save some
- 12:01Speaker 1: time and money throughout that process? Of course you would,
- 12:05Speaker 1: That's why you need fair Lease. Let me tell you
- 12:08Speaker 1: how they can help you save money. Tell me if
- 12:12Speaker 1: this sounds like you, and whether you're doing this currently
- 12:16Speaker 1: or you've done this in the past. You go to
- 12:17Speaker 1: the dealership and they put you in a deal for
- 12:20Speaker 1: four or five, six, seven years, seven years worth of payments.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Are you ever actually going to pay off that car
- 12:29Speaker 1: and then drive it for a bunch of years after No,
- 12:31Speaker 1: you're probably gonna trade that thing in well before the
- 12:34Speaker 1: end of the term, and you're gonna end up upside
- 12:38Speaker 1: down in that vehicle. That's called negative equity. Well, the
- 12:40Speaker 1: great thing about fair lease is they can get you
- 12:43Speaker 1: out of that. They can get you on the path
- 12:45Speaker 1: of actually saving some money. And the other side of
- 12:49Speaker 1: having those long terms in a car buying process means
- 12:54Speaker 1: you're over paying for that vehicle and you're actually leasing
- 12:57Speaker 1: the vehicle because you've never owned it, never owned it outright,
- 13:01Speaker 1: so you're just paying way more than you need to.
- 13:03Speaker 1: So lease a vehicle on your terms. They have flexible terms,
- 13:06Speaker 1: you know, three years, four years, you know, whatever you want,
- 13:09Speaker 1: maybe not whatever, but I mean something more reasonable. And
- 13:12Speaker 1: they have flexible mileage options to make sure it works
- 13:15Speaker 1: for you and what you need. And then they can
- 13:18Speaker 1: also help you save a much of time because you're
- 13:19Speaker 1: not wasting much of time at a dealership, hours or
- 13:21Speaker 1: even days going through the buying process. Fairlease handles everything
- 13:24Speaker 1: remotely via phone or email, and then when you're ready
- 13:27Speaker 1: for that vehicle, they bring it to you and you
- 13:29Speaker 1: sign on the paperwork electronically, saving time, saving money. So
- 13:33Speaker 1: you're ready for a new car, lease it from fair
- 13:35Speaker 1: lease Save time, save money. Go to fair lease fairlease
- 13:39Speaker 1: dot org based on an Allen fairlease dot org. One

- 14:32Speaker 1: today is Fred Day. September sixth, twenty twenty four. Birthdays today.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Chad Coleman, who played Tyrese on The Walking Dead back
- 14:42Speaker 1: when it was good. He also played Cleiden on The Orvil.
- 14:46Speaker 1: He is fifty today. Idris Elba turns fifty two. He's
- 14:53Speaker 1: Heimdahl in the thor movies Stringer Bell on HBO's The Wire, Nelson, Mandela,
- 14:57Speaker 1: and Mandela Long Walk to Freedom. He's also the voice
- 15:01Speaker 1: of the tiger Sheer Khan the live action Jungle Book movie.
- 15:04Speaker 1: He was also the boss at one point in the office,
- 15:10Speaker 1: overseeing Michael Scott. That was a good run that he
- 15:13Speaker 1: had there. Phenomenal actor. I did not see and the
- 15:19Speaker 1: only reason I want to do is because he was
- 15:20Speaker 1: in it. Was the movie he did recently called Beast,
- 15:23Speaker 1: where it's I think it's him punching lions. I think
- 15:28Speaker 1: what happened was do you remember the movie called Gray
- 15:30Speaker 1: with Liam Neeson? No, Okay, great movie. It was on
- 15:34Speaker 1: Netflix for a while. I'm not sure where it currently is,
- 15:36Speaker 1: but handful of years ago. It was right at the
- 15:39Speaker 1: beginning of Liam Neeson's action period action star right. It
- 15:42Speaker 1: was after Taken, and it's Liam Neeson on his own
- 15:47Speaker 1: and he's trying to fend off attacks from wolves. So
- 15:52Speaker 1: they called it Gray. I alternately titled it Liam Neeson
- 15:56Speaker 1: in Wolf Puncher because part of the trailer is him
- 16:00Speaker 1: putting up his dukes ready to like get into a
- 16:03Speaker 1: fistfight with a wolf, which seemed ridiculous, but in the
- 16:05Speaker 1: context of the film and you see it, it kind
- 16:07Speaker 1: of made sense. So when I saw that Idris Elba
- 16:10Speaker 1: was doing a movie where he's going up against lions
- 16:13Speaker 1: or something, I thought it just kind of reminded me
- 16:15Speaker 1: of that. So it's Idris elbat in Lion Puncher. I
- 16:18Speaker 1: wasn't sure if you guys had seen it.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Have you ever seen Luther?
- 16:22Speaker 1: I have not, but I've heard that's fantastic.
- 16:25Speaker 3: It was a fantastic show, and I think Netflix did
- 16:28Speaker 3: a movie based on it too. And he's great in that.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Is that where he plays like is it a private
- 16:34Speaker 1: detective or something?
- 16:36Speaker 3: He's a London police officer.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Gotcha. He's one of those actors that I had seen
- 16:44Speaker 1: him in a few things and then heard him do
- 16:47Speaker 1: the British accent. I thought, wow, that's really good. Didn't
- 16:50Speaker 1: find out he's actually English.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Yeah. Godfrey has a great bit about that where he's like, man,
- 16:54Speaker 2: I saw it was watching the Wire and they got
- 16:56Speaker 2: string A bell. I, Yes, finally they got somebody talented
- 17:00Speaker 2: out of Baltimore. And then he heard him do an
- 17:04Speaker 2: interview and he's like, really, Baltimore, which is eighty eight
- 17:07Speaker 2: percent black, You couldn't find a one actor I could
- 17:10Speaker 2: play a convincing drug dealer. We had to import this one.
- 17:14Speaker 1: In Yeah, they found him in Baltimore. Sure, but he's
- 17:21Speaker 1: one of my favorite actors. I think he's fantastic. Other
- 17:24Speaker 1: birthdays today Macy Gray fifty seven. Rosie Perez is sixty.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Loved her, absolutely loved her in White Man Can John.
- 17:31Speaker 1: But if I remember it correctly, she either won an
- 17:33Speaker 1: Oscar or was nominated, or maybe that was for Do
- 17:37Speaker 1: the Right Thing, whatever it is. She was a lot
- 17:39Speaker 1: of fun in those movies. And then we've also got
- 17:44Speaker 1: where did It Go? I lost my birthdays? Mark Chestnut
- 17:47Speaker 1: Country singer sixty one. Betsy Russell is also sixty one
- 17:51Speaker 1: from the Saw movies. And then one of my not
- 18:01Speaker 1: necessarily favorite actors, but someone that left a hell of
- 18:05Speaker 1: an impression on me. How about this? Michael Winslow is
- 18:09Speaker 1: sixty six today. He played Larvel Jones and the Police
- 18:13Speaker 1: Academy movies. He's the one that does all the sound
- 18:15Speaker 1: effects with his mouth. And then if you're a fan
- 18:18Speaker 1: of Spaceballs like Trey and I are, you also know
- 18:20Speaker 1: him from that because he was the radar technician.
- 18:24Speaker 2: And he's still a touring comedian.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Is he really Yes, that's one person I don't get
- 18:30Speaker 1: starstruck by many people. He's one of those people that
- 18:33Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily be starstruck by. Yeah, but I'd be
- 18:36Speaker 1: super excited to meet because of how big of an
- 18:40Speaker 1: influence he had on me as a child. I got
- 18:42Speaker 1: so much joy out of him from the Police Academy
- 18:45Speaker 1: movies and the little bit in Spaceballs. I would love
- 18:47Speaker 1: to meet Michael Winslow.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:49Speaker 2: He comes to the Addison Club quite a bit, So
- 18:51Speaker 2: the next time he's there, I'll make sure to let
- 18:53Speaker 2: you know. Maybe you guys can come in. Absolutely, I
- 18:55Speaker 2: do something like that, But I don't think he makes
- 18:57Speaker 2: it out to the Islands, but like, yeah, it is
- 18:59Speaker 2: pretty cool to be in the same space because you're like, hi, man,
- 19:02Speaker 2: I remember watching you. And then even weirder was when
- 19:04Speaker 2: I went to Texas State. One of my professors was GW. Bailey,
- 19:08Speaker 2: who's the police chief in Police Academy Movies.
- 19:13Speaker 3: Wow.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you get anything done at Texas State.
- 19:18Speaker 2: And my other professor was Larry Hovas was harder on
- 19:20Speaker 2: Hogan's heroes.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Jesus.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Texas State really collecting the professors.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Telling you, I think, speaking of eighties movies, Revenge of
- 19:32Speaker 3: the Nerds is like I answer, fortieth anniversary. So they
- 19:37Speaker 3: had I saw a deal where they got the cast together.
- 19:40Speaker 3: I didn't think anything an age worse than the movie itself.
- 19:47Speaker 2: And a couple of those guys are still working actors,
- 19:50Speaker 2: like you'll see them like randomly on TV shows. And
- 19:53Speaker 2: I think there's the guy who played Booger, did a
- 19:55Speaker 2: couple of episodes of Psych.
- 19:57Speaker 1: He was he was also a new Girl. He's been
- 19:59Speaker 1: in bunch of stuff randomly.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Yeah, Anthony Edwards is like probably the only one that yes,
- 20:05Speaker 3: And he was not at the reunion.
- 20:09Speaker 2: He was busy working. These guys just had to call
- 20:14Speaker 2: in sick to a wieners.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Rash who was it? Was there another birthday that I missed?
- 20:21Speaker 2: That did one of one of my people, one of
- 20:24Speaker 2: one of the most talented Indian people. People don't realize
- 20:28Speaker 2: is Indian. Uh. Freddie Mercury or Faruk Bulsara was his
- 20:33Speaker 2: real name, then he changed it to Freddy Mercury. I
- 20:36Speaker 2: believe his birthday is today.
- 20:38Speaker 1: No, that was yesterday.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Yesterday?
- 20:41Speaker 1: Yeah, that was yesterday. I remember seeing that.
- 20:45Speaker 2: How old would you have it's gonna be the seventies.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Hang on, let me see, let me see me pull
- 20:50Speaker 1: it up real quick. If not early eighties, let's see maybe.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Freddy Mercury birthday September fifth, so yesterday. He died back
- 21:01Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one, and he was born in nineteen
- 21:05Speaker 1: forty six.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Wow, okay, nineteen forty six, so that would be seventy eight.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Yeah, So I remember because I'm a big Queen fan.
- 21:15Speaker 1: My dad turned me on to Queen from a young age,
- 21:18Speaker 1: and I loved the band, and so when the movie
- 21:20Speaker 1: Bohemian Rhapsody came out, love that as well. And I'm
- 21:25Speaker 1: not even really sure how much I knew about the
- 21:28Speaker 1: different band members, including Freddie Mercury, Like I didn't realize,
- 21:32Speaker 1: like in the movie it focuses on his family life
- 21:34Speaker 1: and everything. Had no idea that he was You said
- 21:38Speaker 1: he's Indian. I thought that like in the movie, I
- 21:40Speaker 1: thought it said something else of his.
- 21:42Speaker 2: They moved from India to Zanzibar, and then from Zanzibar
- 21:46Speaker 2: when there was an uprising and there was a military coup,
- 21:51Speaker 2: they moved a lot of people moved from Zanzibar to London.
- 21:54Speaker 2: So he went to boarding school in India. His nickname
- 21:58Speaker 2: in boarding school because of his teeth was Bucky because
- 22:01Speaker 2: he had the buck teeth and when he died. I
- 22:05Speaker 2: don't know if you guys are are aware of how
- 22:08Speaker 2: the Zoroastrians treat the dead. But they put them a
- 22:15Speaker 2: in a it's called the Tower of Silence, which's also
- 22:19Speaker 2: a well, but it's also a big giant tower where
- 22:21Speaker 2: they are left to get picked on by scavenging birds
- 22:25Speaker 2: like vultures and crows and whatever for seven days and
- 22:28Speaker 2: then they're.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Buried seven days. That's the kind of stuff I've seen.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Wasn't that like medieval stuff back in the day, where
- 22:37Speaker 1: they they would someone got executed, they put him in
- 22:39Speaker 1: that steel cage after they were executed or while they
- 22:42Speaker 1: were alive and then getting packed on by birds.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Yeah, in the medieval times, they were alive, while they
- 22:49Speaker 2: were packed on by vultures. They were just usually covered
- 22:53Speaker 2: in some sort of thing that would attract the birds.
- 22:55Speaker 2: But this is this is what they did with their
- 22:58Speaker 2: the dead. They put them in. It's to give back
- 23:01Speaker 2: to the earth and give back to the give back
- 23:04Speaker 2: to nature, being one with nature. So they just leave
- 23:06Speaker 2: them in this. You just bury him, No, silly, put
- 23:14Speaker 2: them in the ground that is back. You gotta feed
- 23:20Speaker 2: the birds so.
- 23:22Speaker 1: So before so as so, before you can be buried,
- 23:27Speaker 1: you first have to be uh like human sharma.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Well I mean you kind of yes, uh, just you're
- 23:36Speaker 2: a big giant kabab. Yeah, they just kind of hang
- 23:42Speaker 2: you in this it's called the Tower of Silence or
- 23:44Speaker 2: I think it's called a dakma or damka something like that.
- 23:48Speaker 5: Uh.
- 23:48Speaker 3: And they do they do a like blood letting first
- 23:51Speaker 3: and get this stuff out or do they just hang
- 23:53Speaker 3: you because it seems like everything would just you'd explode.
- 23:58Speaker 2: I guess it's build up and well I think when
- 24:00Speaker 2: the birds are picking out that they can release that way.
- 24:04Speaker 2: But yeah, they just kind of leave you there for
- 24:06Speaker 2: seven After seven days they collect the remains and bury that.
- 24:10Speaker 1: How do they collect the remains are shot back?
- 24:14Speaker 2: It's like a delta flight. You just kind of it's
- 24:21Speaker 2: kind of throw some plastic.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Covering over like the toy crane at the you know,
- 24:24Speaker 3: you get the ball and look.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Yeah kind of yes, they just go and the Zoroastrian
- 24:35Speaker 2: priest will go and collect whatever is left.
- 24:37Speaker 1: And that's really horrific. Yeah, it really this doesn't sound
- 24:42Speaker 1: like an honor that I would want bestowed upon me
- 24:44Speaker 1: and death. It's like, no, I just give me the
- 24:47Speaker 1: turnhole method, just go just take me straight in the ground.
- 24:49Speaker 3: I don't want to be.
- 24:50Speaker 1: I don't want to be a hanging schwarma thing for birds.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh. It's very uh small culture of Zoroastrians,
- 25:00Speaker 2: but they still abide by that. What they used to
- 25:02Speaker 2: do back in the day is feed the birds.
- 25:04Speaker 1: So it's you said it's a small group. It's a
- 25:06Speaker 1: small culture. Now I think we know why. It's because
- 25:10Speaker 1: no one wants to be buried that way.
- 25:13Speaker 2: People are hard to get people to read that part
- 25:16Speaker 2: of the pamphlet.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and then at the end you'll become bird feed.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sure they line the place with newspaper or
- 25:27Speaker 2: some sort of mulch on the ground. I don't know
- 25:30Speaker 2: how it goes, but I'm assuming something around you to.
- 25:43Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
- 25:45Speaker 2: You know, you just kind of put it into a
- 25:47Speaker 2: wood chipper or whatever they do. I don't know.
- 25:50Speaker 3: I guess it's how you spin it, because it definitely
- 25:52Speaker 3: would be a cheap burial.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Yeah, that's also how you get around to the good
- 25:57Speaker 1: side of the meat. You got to spin it around.
- 26:03Speaker 1: That's awful. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online
- 26:15Speaker 1: that Treehouse on air dot com. I'm never gonna look
- 26:19Speaker 1: at Sharma the same way. Just gonna mercury just ruined
- 26:25Speaker 1: whull all guys for me. Let's get Daniel Cook into
- 26:33Speaker 1: the Treehouse eight three three Cook DFW the website cook
- 26:37Speaker 1: dfw dot com for your free roof inspection. Obviously, it's
- 26:40Speaker 1: easy to do roof inspections when it's nice outside, but
- 26:43Speaker 1: when it's a little rainy and the weather's not as nice,
- 26:47Speaker 1: especially with the rain, as a homeowner, you can look
- 26:50Speaker 1: up and almost do your own roof inspection because if
- 26:52Speaker 1: you're seeing something that wasn't there before, then they need
- 26:55Speaker 1: to give you a call.
- 26:56Speaker 5: Right absolutely, And that just happened today. Actually we were
- 27:00Speaker 5: called out. A person is selling their home. They had
- 27:05Speaker 5: somebody come out and check it out last week, of course,
- 27:07Speaker 5: when it was bright and beautiful and sunny, and they
- 27:10Speaker 5: thought they had found some damage that was going to
- 27:12Speaker 5: be consistent of weather and an insurance claim. And so
- 27:17Speaker 5: they the cellar called us out because they trusted us
- 27:20Speaker 5: and they used us before, and they said, hey, can
- 27:23Speaker 5: you come out and check my roof out. I know
- 27:24Speaker 5: you do a lot of roofing, and I like you
- 27:26Speaker 5: to see it and see what happened. So as well,
- 27:27Speaker 5: we got out there, lo and behold, it's not weather
- 27:30Speaker 5: damage that the other company found. They were hanging up
- 27:34Speaker 5: Christmas lights on their roof every year, and whoever they
- 27:38Speaker 5: used to do that, were scooting around the edge of
- 27:41Speaker 5: the roof, the entire around the edge, and it scooted
- 27:45Speaker 5: off pretty much all the shingle granulars around the entire
- 27:48Speaker 5: edge of the roof where they're how you hanging Christmas
- 27:51Speaker 5: lights up, So it made it look like the shingles
- 27:53Speaker 5: were in terrible condition. But if the person that inspected
- 27:56Speaker 5: at first would have gone up the roof about another
- 27:58Speaker 5: eight or ten feet, the roof is in great shape.
- 28:01Speaker 5: So all around the whole sides and edges are tore up,
- 28:04Speaker 5: but it's gonna be some repairs.
- 28:06Speaker 3: That's it.
- 28:07Speaker 5: That's all they need to have done.
- 28:08Speaker 1: And I think that's an important thing to really shine
- 28:11Speaker 1: a light on, because you're not gonna come in there
- 28:14Speaker 1: and just tell someone, oh, you need a new roof.
- 28:16Speaker 1: You're gonna go in there and assess the situation for
- 28:18Speaker 1: as it is and tell them exactly what needs to happen,
- 28:22Speaker 1: not what you want to happen, so you can end
- 28:24Speaker 1: up on a megayacht retired by the time you're sixty.
- 28:27Speaker 1: You're gonna do the right thing, as tempting as that is.
- 28:29Speaker 1: You're gonna do the right thing for the client. I
- 28:32Speaker 1: don't want to be on that mega yacht that just
- 28:34Speaker 1: think though. No, you want to make sure you get
- 28:35Speaker 1: the good captains.
- 28:37Speaker 5: Right right, not the one that jumps off first.
- 28:40Speaker 1: No, all right, give Daniel a call for all that

- 29:15Speaker 1: Now we've got birthdays under our belt and gonna not
- 29:20Speaker 1: gonna forget those anytime soon. Thanks to Freddy Mercury and
- 29:23Speaker 1: the traditional Zoroastrian burial program. I think if you had
- 29:28Speaker 1: the option like if Zoroastrians were door to door salespeople
- 29:32Speaker 1: the way that the Jehovah's Witnesses are, and you have
- 29:34Speaker 1: two pamphlets in front of you, Yeah, the traditional burial
- 29:38Speaker 1: of Jehovah's witnesses, which I think is just in the
- 29:40Speaker 1: ground versus the schwarma style from the Zoroastrians. I think
- 29:46Speaker 1: I'll go with the Jehovah's Witnesses.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Yeah. You know when the pamphlets, you know, they they
- 29:50Speaker 2: put them, the two of them out. One's called the
- 29:51Speaker 2: watch Tower and the other one's called the Tower of Silence.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Uh read the Watchtower.
- 29:58Speaker 1: It's a I think it's a wise move there. Well,
- 30:04Speaker 1: there's a name we have not mentioned a while inside
- 30:06Speaker 1: the Treehouse, and that is the name of one Haley Welch.
- 30:09Speaker 1: And if you don't know her by her name, you
- 30:12Speaker 1: know her for sure by her nickname, which is the
- 30:16Speaker 1: Hawktua Girl. Things have been silent on the Hawkta front
- 30:20Speaker 1: for a while. The last time I think we heard
- 30:25Speaker 1: about her was her celebrating her own birthday with a
- 30:28Speaker 1: club appearance that she got paid for that I think
- 30:33Speaker 1: was being DJ'd by Shaquille O'Neil. That was the last
- 30:35Speaker 1: big thing that I saw I think the Hawk to
- 30:37Speaker 1: a girl.
- 30:37Speaker 3: She threw a first pitch out at a Mets game
- 30:42Speaker 3: that pissed off a lot of people.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Although it's right, why are they so mad?
- 30:48Speaker 3: I don't know if she was doing it. It was like
- 30:50Speaker 3: to raise. The sponsor was like a Hope Animal Shelter
- 30:54Speaker 3: or something like that. I mean it was there was
- 30:56Speaker 3: nothing wrong with it, but yeah, the Mets fans got
- 31:00Speaker 3: mighty pissed.
- 31:01Speaker 2: I figured should be sponsored by an E and t
- 31:09Speaker 2: mostly the tea. Yeah yeah, And then she just signed
- 31:14Speaker 2: She's got a new podcast.
- 31:15Speaker 1: That's right, she will be doing Yeah the Hawk Tua girl.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Hailey Welch is getting her own podcast, Talk Tua is
- 31:24Speaker 1: the name, and it premieres next Tuesday. Her first guest
- 31:29Speaker 1: is comedian Whitney Cummings. That actually works for a couple
- 31:35Speaker 1: different levels, it does. Yeah. So, Hailey Welch was actually
- 31:44Speaker 1: just on Whitney Cummings's podcast, and that's where she dropped
- 31:49Speaker 1: some sage advice for women, at least according to this article,
- 31:52Speaker 1: saying things like what's good for the whole is not
- 31:54Speaker 1: always good for the soul.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that one.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Jake Paul's media company Better b e. T R is
- 32:02Speaker 1: producing the podcast. He also is slated to appear as
- 32:05Speaker 1: a guest. There's a teaser for it where Hayley tells
- 32:08Speaker 1: her haters she's not going anywhere and that she's just
- 32:12Speaker 1: getting started. So does that mean she's just salivating.
- 32:18Speaker 2: She's just she's just listening her job.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Remember remember those remember those old reach toothbrush commercials.
- 32:28Speaker 2: See now that's a sponsor.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think we can have a resurgence
- 32:33Speaker 1: of the Reach Toothbrush brand by being a title sponsor
- 32:38Speaker 1: on the haktoa Girl podcast Talk.
- 32:40Speaker 2: To a Yes. And she did reveal on Whitney Cummings
- 32:43Speaker 2: that she was a crack baby. She was born, I believe,
- 32:47Speaker 2: addicted to some sort of opiate or speed or something.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Her mom was a drug addict. Jesus, so she she
- 32:54Speaker 2: admitted that on the Whitney Cummings podcast.
- 32:58Speaker 1: You know, we all overcome childhood in different ways. She
- 33:03Speaker 1: seems to have found hers.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Yes, she she she did a different kind of therapy,
- 33:11Speaker 2: she found her calling. Yes. Yes, And it just sounds
- 33:16Speaker 2: like we live in a weird world when you're like, oh,
- 33:18Speaker 2: the Hawk to a Girl was at a party that
- 33:19Speaker 2: was being DJed by Shaquille O'Neil, like, what where are
- 33:22Speaker 2: we living?
- 33:23Speaker 1: You know, most the most normal part of this entire
- 33:26Speaker 1: Haktua scenario is is her ending up with a podcast that,
- 33:30Speaker 1: to me is the thing that makes the most sense
- 33:33Speaker 1: out of all of it.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, and she'll get some decent guests. I
- 33:37Speaker 2: guess Whitney Cummings. She's gonna be great, I'm sure. And
- 33:40Speaker 2: then Jake Paul and his like his team of people.
- 33:43Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll get some so it'll be good. I mean,
- 33:45Speaker 2: I think it'll be okay for a while, and then
- 33:47Speaker 2: it'll run its course and she'll be back to just again.
- 33:52Speaker 1: She'll eventually run out of spit.
- 33:55Speaker 6: She'll dry up, just dust flies out.
- 34:11Speaker 1: It's kind of like when Forrest Gump gets to the
- 34:13Speaker 1: end of the road. I'm pretty tired.
- 34:17Speaker 2: I'm tired of blowing.
- 34:21Speaker 1: I'll go no. H Have I told you guys recently
- 34:37Speaker 1: how much I love doing this show, But if I
- 34:42Speaker 1: also mentioned to you any moment recently that I'm actually
- 34:46Speaker 1: going to be a little bit jealous of the Hawk
- 34:48Speaker 1: to a girl, knowing that in her premiere episode she's
- 34:50Speaker 1: going to have more downloads than we've had in our
- 34:53Speaker 1: entirety of this program. What I'm getting at is one
- 34:56Speaker 1: of us needs to start warming up our salivary glands.
- 35:00Speaker 2: But she's used to lots of loads downloads. Sorry, you
- 35:06Speaker 2: know what?
- 35:07Speaker 1: There you go right there. Sure, my ladies and gentlemen

- 40:58Speaker 1: need to share with you. Probably despite the sea of
- 41:04Speaker 1: stupid that we've been swimming through all week, this may
- 41:08Speaker 1: be my favorite stupid news story of the week. Raj,
- 41:15Speaker 1: you've never been to prison. Trey, you've never been to prison.
- 41:19Speaker 1: I've never been to prison. But according to some people,
- 41:25Speaker 1: there's been something lacking inside the prisons of the United States,
- 41:31Speaker 1: and that is pickleball. Yes, someone took a long, hard
- 41:35Speaker 1: look at our criminal justice system and recognized a hole
- 41:40Speaker 1: that needed to be filled and the only way to
- 41:42Speaker 1: fill it was with pickleball. This sounds like something This
- 41:48Speaker 1: sounds like something that you would see in the Onion,
- 41:51Speaker 1: but it's not. This is real life. Pickleball is coming
- 41:55Speaker 1: to US prisons. There's even a league Pickleball for Incarcerated
- 42:04Speaker 1: Communities League, which of course stands for Pickle Pico. That
- 42:11Speaker 1: is the national organization that's bringing the widely popular sport
- 42:15Speaker 1: to America's prisons to help rehabilitate those who are incarcerated.
- 42:21Speaker 1: In one specific example, inmates play pickleball at the McDougall
- 42:32Speaker 1: Walker Correctional Institution, which is a maximum security prison in Connecticut.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Maximum security prison inmates playing pickleball for rehabilitation, for rehabilitation purposes.
- 42:51Speaker 2: I used to murder bitches before pickleball.
- 42:56Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I mean the PSA's are going to write
- 43:00Speaker 1: to themselves right. It's like, you know, I had a
- 43:02Speaker 1: choice to make them an early age. Do I want
- 43:04Speaker 1: to get into slinging smack or do I want to
- 43:06Speaker 1: sling you know, pickle paddles.
- 43:11Speaker 2: I just love how this I don't want to call
- 43:13Speaker 2: it a sport has caught on if anybody knew the origin,
- 43:16Speaker 2: it was to help the elderly move. That's all it's for.
- 43:20Speaker 2: That's why it's just a smaller tennis court. But now
- 43:23Speaker 2: we're just going let's give it to hardened criminals. I
- 43:32Speaker 2: was I used to spend my days raping my cell mate,
- 43:35Speaker 2: but now pickleball.
- 43:39Speaker 1: I don't know who's happy, or me or him. I
- 43:45Speaker 1: do think it was a serious twist of fate though,
- 43:47Speaker 1: that when Warden decided to pair us up in the
- 43:50Speaker 1: pickle ball doubles matches, he said, it looked like we
- 43:54Speaker 1: had good chemistry.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Lucky knew my every move.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Mainly because I told it to him.
- 44:07Speaker 2: I would hate to be somebody's pickleball bitch. That's the
- 44:11Speaker 2: lowest rung in person that you think.
- 44:14Speaker 3: About, the poor bastard that has to be the.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Judge, the line judge for pickle.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Yeah, the this This may be one of my favorite
- 44:29Speaker 1: lines in this entire story. Not only are incarcerated people
- 44:33Speaker 1: learning how to play pickleball, but they're learning life lessons
- 44:37Speaker 1: as well.
- 44:45Speaker 2: It turns out attempted murder doesn't just hurt the other person,
- 44:49Speaker 2: it hurts me as well.
- 44:53Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be a weird day though,
- 44:55Speaker 1: when they they realize that some of these inmates are
- 44:58Speaker 1: actually sharpening the edge pickleball paddles.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a horrible weighted die shank by pickleball paddle.
- 45:12Speaker 2: His last words were, why, oh no, she was a
- 45:21Speaker 2: real shive. Oh that's great, good, good for them.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Yeah, the one of the they. In this story, they
- 45:29Speaker 1: also talk about one of the coaches for pickleball inside
- 45:33Speaker 1: the prisons and uh Sarah Gerston is one of these coaches,
- 45:39Speaker 1: along with another coach, and she said coaching those who
- 45:43Speaker 1: are locked up is no different than coaching those who
- 45:46Speaker 1: are not, but there are some differences. For one, Sarah Gerston,
- 45:51Speaker 1: one of the pickleball coaches, can't get too close to
- 45:53Speaker 1: the inmates due to security concern.
- 46:02Speaker 2: It's like it's like regular people, but not.
- 46:09Speaker 1: In any way.
- 46:15Speaker 2: That's the most diplomatic way I've ever heard something put.
- 46:19Speaker 2: You know, when I coached the inmates, it's like regular people,
- 46:22Speaker 2: but with rules.
- 46:25Speaker 3: And a metal detector, really really really strict rule.
- 46:44Speaker 1: That told just my favorite story of the way. That
- 46:47Speaker 1: saved it for last baby. Oh god, all right, thanks
- 46:51Speaker 1: for hanging out with us inside the treehouse. In case
- 46:53Speaker 1: you missed it. The little announcement coming up next they
