1:06
Plus episode, a Treehouse full of tears and laughter. It's an emotional episode
1:11
like an eighties sitcom that got serious once per season. Oh yeah, and
1:19
we all shed some tears, mostly Trey. And it turns out that in
1:26
order to fight his depression, Trey decided to watch WrestleMania to feel better.
1:36
Did it work because seeing you mentioned WrestleMania or Raj mentioned it right before we
1:42
started, and you lit up. You lit up like the rock standing in
1:47
the middle of the ring doing the eyebrow or sniffing the air or whatever.
1:52
Like you lit up. Man, You're like, it's it's almost like you
1:55
saw macho man. Randy Savage back from the dead. You kind of lit
1:59
up doing your impression of the Rock just now, Well, the only thing
2:02
I can do is the sniff. I can't do the independent eyebrow thing that
2:06
that's about as good as I can get, and that's not exactly independent,
2:08
that's still connected to the other side. Yeah, I watched I hadn't watched
2:14
a WrestleMania in ages, like late nineties, early two thousand. I was
2:21
all in, I raw, you know, any pay per view. I
2:25
mean, they were just they were great. It was the name like Stone
2:30
Cold and the Rock and the Undertaker, Triple h and and all these people,
2:34
and yeah, it was just it was fun to watch. It was
2:36
a great storyline, it was great writing. It was it was, you
2:38
know, a soap opera with you know, athleticism thrown in and uh oh,
2:43
I was just going to say men in underwear, but whatever, well
2:46
okay, and uh but like Trey's like, you know, and I don't
2:50
care what they were as long as as long as it has the story behind
2:53
it, you know. And and in reading, if you've read anything about
2:58
it, and not that it's a real shocker that Vince McMahon is a scumbag.
3:01
But I was partly curious because this was you know, Triple H who
3:08
was married to Stephanie McMahon and and you know he is basically and w Dowe
3:13
has been taken over or merged with basically yeah, and uh so I was
3:21
kind of curious what they were gonna do and everything, and man, it
3:23
was they it was like the old days. They did it right. It
3:27
was great, theatrics, great storyline. Uh. You know Cody Rhodes,
3:31
who I mean, I sadly I remember his daddy Rhodes, the American Oh
3:38
it's it's it's Dusty Rhodes boy. Yeah, oh okay, Because I saw
3:43
like a brief clip of some girl with a microphone announcing Cody Rhodes as the
3:47
undisputed champion of sman wrestled me whatever. And I saw it was said Cody
3:53
Rhodes, and I thought it just sounded to me like some guy who wandered
3:55
into the ring thinking it was an open mic in nack and he's trying to
4:00
get his single on the radio. Cody Roads. I didn't realize it was
4:03
son of Dusty, Yeah, the brother of Dustin Roads. And uh he
4:10
uh yeah, So you know, daddy was the American dream and you know,
4:14
Cody is the American Nightmare and incredibly popular, and he is. I
4:19
knew he had been on a long journey in and out of of WWE and
4:25
everything else, but it was just it was a great show. In that
4:28
final match with Roman Reigns, Uh, it was just fantastic. I mean,
4:32
you have the Rock and then the Undertaker appears, in which I was
4:38
the crowd went nuts when that Bell told let me ask you this, I
4:45
just got to chill down my spine bes I can hear it in my head.
4:46
I was like, oh, that's good. Well, the Rock is
4:48
in. The Rock is in the middle of the ring, and he's you
4:51
know, he's got a belt that says Mama Roads and he's he's So the
4:55
Rocks now turned to taking a turn toward as a heel. He's a bad
4:58
guy now, yeah, and so he's And then you didn't pick anybody to
5:02
endorse for president. He's doing it on the w w E side of things.
5:05
He's going to run for president one day. Yeah, that's the thing.
5:10
When he found out the statistic that sixty four percent of the country would
5:13
actually vote for him, I think I'll do that. He should start now.
5:18
He could win. Actually, yeah, what I think I would vote
5:25
for the people's elbow. I'm being I'm just saying, i mean, what
5:29
else do we need to show to the world. We had the guy from
5:30
The Apprentice, and now we've got the Rock. We've already had a wrestler
5:34
be governor. I mean, come on, you know, yeah, but
5:39
at least he was a Navy seal before all that. Yeah, this guy
5:43
worked at a Bally's Fitness. He's also that ship crazy. Oh I'm not.
5:50
When I saw his name on the short list for Robert Kennedy Junior's pick
5:57
of VPS, I was like, I'm out. Oh no, I was
6:00
all that. That made me go all in. I'm like, that's the
6:02
craziest ticket on the planet. Robert, Robert Kennedy and Jesse Ventura. Yeah,
6:10
anyone from the Kennedy clan and Jesse Ventura. That is an interesting match.
6:15
That is a match, sounds like an actual match, which gets us
6:17
back to WrestleMania. So I must I must admit I I don't know if
6:23
I've ever actually seen a WrestleMania. Now. I watched wrestling. Me and
6:28
my cousin we were a little back when I was into wrestling, that was
6:32
when they had the little wrestling pillow guys. So we had like the rest.
6:39
It was when Hulk Holgan before Hulk Holgan went to the Black Stuff,
6:44
and this was when it was still yellow and red Hulk Holgan shirt, the
6:49
Hulkamania Bacho Mane the and the black was when he was New World Order and
6:57
yeah, so I was out before all that. Back when they had the
7:00
little wrestling buddies that you can wrestle, that's when I was in. The
7:03
Taker Undertaker was there that was loved the Undertaker. That was when I was
7:09
into wrestling. So it was a very small window. But when WrestleMania happened,
7:13
there was no way that my mom or my grandmother was going to fork
7:15
over the money on a pay per view for me to watch WrestleMania. So
7:17
I never saw WrestleMania live. Tray's right, and the writing is back to
7:23
the old days, like the Attitude era is what it was called when Vince
7:26
switched it over, and it's really really clever writing that's really really good.
7:30
It keeps you looped in week after week. And then that WrestleMania was just
7:34
phenomenal, made phenomenal because like I said, I've never seen a WrestleMania to
7:42
my recollection. So one thing was so the match itself, it's been a
7:49
saga with Cody Rhodes for two years, yeah, I mean for this last
7:56
kind of run. Yeah, because he left aw tears ago. Yeah,
7:59
and so the final match is you've got So they wrestled. They did a
8:05
tag team event Saturday night, which Rose correct me if I'm wrong. That
8:09
determined the rules for the Sunday night. Yes, so, and Roman Reigns
8:13
won and so it was blood drawing rules, which basically, yeah, anything
8:16
goes. And so WrestleMania was a two night event. Yes, yeah,
8:20
it's kind you have to understand the best story on the two There was a
8:24
pivot because it was supposed to be The Rock versus Roman Rings, but Cody
8:28
Rhodes won the Royal Rumble and that used to be back in the day that
8:31
whoever won the Rumble was the number one contender, and so they got to
8:35
fight the current champion. Well, they had this whole thing because the Rock
8:39
was coming back and he was going to be a good guy because Roman Reigns
8:43
is a bad guy and he was going to win everything back for the good
8:46
guys and it was gonna be the Rock and Roman reigns Cousin against cousin and
8:50
uh, the Cody wrote, I can't remember what the hashtag was went uber
8:56
viral, like how are you guys ignoring the fact that he won and you
9:01
did this to him last year because he won the Royal rub the last year
9:03
and he didn't get to fight the champion, and like, enough is enough.
9:05
We love the Rock, he's great, but you got to cut this
9:09
crap out, and that's what they So the Rock came out to being booed
9:13
for the first time. Uh. And they made an on stage It was
9:18
brilliant. They made an ons this a couple of weeks ago, a couple
9:20
of months ago. Yes, they made an on stage pivot, and he
9:24
turned against Cody and joined the faction that is the the tri the tribe because
9:30
Rommerains is a tribal chief and their cousins and so on stage they made this
9:35
pivot and that's what made this this WrestleMania bigger than probably most WrestleManias because it
9:43
was the first time the People's Champ was booed at every appearance that he made
9:48
leading up to and then he started to fight with he was like, you're
9:52
you know, you're twenty years younger than your siblings with Cody Rhodes and he's
9:54
like that you were a mistake, like went after the mom and and I
10:00
remember this because he took a heel turn back in the day. He is
10:05
one of the best, biggest, he could be the biggest and best dick.
10:09
I think he's brutally Oh, they showed it on on the jumbo Tron
10:13
where they had kids, Like they had tiktoks that they put up of kids
10:16
crying because the Rock's a bad guy. Yeah, Like that's how good he
10:20
was, Like how believable he was. Like So that's how you're saying the
10:22
w w E is back is it's made its triumphant return making children cry.
10:30
Well, that's what it did a long time ago, and that's what I'm
10:33
saying. It's like, so they brought that element back. And that's why
10:35
you guys are, well what when when ww At the time WWF really took
10:41
off was because Vince McMahon hired soap opera riders to come in and write storylines
10:46
and developed them. And that's yeah, and that's that's when it blew up.
10:50
It's because all of a sudden, you have wrestling mixed with a soap
10:54
opera element. Yeah, And but you also had it was a very kid
10:56
friendly, like you had a wrestling buddy, right, you had one of
10:58
those the little you know, the Undertaker, the or the little pillow and
11:03
it was and it was yeah, and it was it was you know,
11:07
say your prayers and eat your vitamins. And they had a legit bad guy
11:09
and that's who you were like, no, he's not good. And then
11:13
when you're a good guy would turn bad. You're like, this is the
11:15
worst day of my life. And they've brought this back, but to another
11:18
level where you have the guy who's one of the most likable people in the
11:22
world, one of the most generous people in the world in the Rock now
11:24
turns so devastatingly bad. Like it hooked you in, like it made you
11:28
watch every week just in case he showed up. And now, I mean
11:31
he said on Monday night after the rest Man, he's like, I got
11:35
to go away for a while because he's got to go back to making movies
11:37
and he's got to go back to doing all the other stuff that he does.
11:39
But he's also on the board now of Yes w w E and and
11:45
and helping the decision making process of storylines and everything else. And that's so
11:50
now Vince really made it as time went on about himself and and Vince is
11:56
just a horrible human being. And so now that they've got him out of
11:58
there, and Triple H, who was his son in law, has taken
12:03
over, and everyone I have yet to read anyone who said he's doing a
12:07
bad job, like everyone has said he is a has been. Look who's
12:09
look who's got I mean, he has Shawn Michaels that's in the scouting and
12:13
in training, his old DX partner, uh and good old San Antonio boy.
12:18
And then he's got himself who was in every storyline back in the day.
12:22
And you've got the Rock. So you have three of the top guys
12:26
that ever wrestled in WWE on a on a position of power in some way
12:31
to make that, I mean, you can't go wrong with him. Well
12:33
and then and then Vince just started to look like Dick dastardly at the end.
12:37
I don't know what that was. Well that was I was just wait
12:41
waiting for him to tie a girl to a trend track, like that's what
12:43
he looked like the last time he was seen on TV. No no go,
12:48
look it up. Like he's got like the mustache that's cut here,
12:52
but he has got the jet black hair and he's seventy eight and he's still
12:56
on steroids, so he just looks terrible. Like heteroids is once you start,
13:03
you really you really can't. It's it's sort of like pringles. Once
13:05
you start, you can't start. But Dan Dance to answer your ultimate question
13:09
about what made it so good is so this final match, you have the
13:15
crowd favorite Cody Rhoads Roman Reigns, who has been had the title for three
13:20
plus years and and I wouldn't say he's disliked, he's just good back.
13:24
Yeah, well he's he's been on top so long people are rooting for him
13:28
to fall and and Cody Roads is a great foil for that. But you
13:33
had and this is also a testament to Triple H and the Rock. You
13:35
know, you have the Rock that makes an appearance in the final match,
13:39
John Cena, who are both you know, big movie stars who don't need
13:43
to do w WE anymore. And then you have the Undertaker comeback, which
13:46
that was probably the most fascinating thing is for all of it when that bell
13:52
told, and it's right at the time where the Rock is, you know,
13:56
looking like he's just gonna end the match for Roman reigns. The bell
14:00
tolls, the crowd goes, bananas, lights go out, bell toes again,
14:05
come back up the rock is I mean the Undertaker standing behind the Rock
14:09
and everyone I lost. I was like, yeah, here's here's why you're
14:15
dais. He must have been traumatized. But here's what Here's why the fans
14:18
went so because the rumor was it was going to Nobody had any idea the
14:24
Undertaker was going to be there because he had his Hall of Fame thing last
14:26
year here in doubt. Yeah, he retired and he's gone for a while.
14:30
The rumor was it was supposed to be Stone Cold Steve Austin. So
14:33
everybody's waiting for that glass to shatter and the Stone Cold to come out.
14:37
And so we I remember standing with Ja McClintock, the gm over at to
14:41
be improperb We watched it at his house and we're all like gathered around the
14:45
TV. There's couches, there's chairs, were gathered around the TV when we
14:48
saw Sena and we just kept whisper like waiting for the glass of shatter.
14:52
When's the glass and shatterer? When's the glass and shot? And like we
14:56
didn't hear it? And then that bell went. I was like, oh,
15:00
water, great twist because they leaked. They leaked that on their own
15:03
rumor Stone Cold's coming. Yeah, it was. It was the old the
15:05
old baby switches. So it's interesting because what I'm getting out of this from
15:11
you guys is, look, I was a casual wrestling fan when I was
15:15
little. You guys have carried that into adulthood, and at some points in
15:20
my life as an adult, I've judged other adult men like, really,
15:24
you're still into that, partly because it turned me off a little bit because
15:30
at a certain age when I realized that it was fake, I felt lied
15:33
to, I felt betrayed. Uh. And then I started seeing some of
15:37
those storylines getting more ridiculous, and it's like, how are people still believing
15:43
this? Now? I realize that most people just they know it's a show.
15:48
They don't care. They just accept it for the show that it is.
15:50
But I would, I would dare you to tell them that it's fake.
15:54
No, no, no, I'm not saying the action is fake.
15:56
I'm just saying the storylines like trace, they were by riders, so the
16:00
storylines were contrived. Well they even they even said that is real. Yeah,
16:06
they even said after the match because Samantha Irwin, who is the ring
16:10
announcer, and she just amazing. Yeah, they were like she'd said she
16:15
did not want to know the outcome beforehand. So so that's the clip I
16:18
saw of the ring. So she was the ring announcer, all emotional when
16:22
she announces Cody Road new camp. Okay, I just normally they know they
16:26
were screwing. I don't know, no, no, no that they normally
16:30
know the drop, they know who's gonna get it so they can prepare whatever.
16:33
Uh but I mean, I my buddy Johnny Lacusta is a great comic
16:37
and he's also a commentator for an x T. He uh he said,
16:41
like this, it's choreographed combat. That's that's what it is. Like they
16:45
legitimate My buddy Lance Lance was wrestling. John Moxley used to be Dan Ambrose
16:49
at the w W and at one points just lacing up his boots and Moxley
16:53
is John Moxley. Now Moxley walked in with a fork and goes, uh
16:56
amen and just looks up. He goes, I'm gonna use this, and
17:00
they went okay, didn't say how, didn't say what he was gonna do.
17:03
And then he they get in the ring and he just starts stabbing Lance
17:07
in the head with a fork. Uh yeah, I'll say this if you
17:11
saw, if you look at a picture of Cody Roads after that match,
17:14
yeah, it ain't fair. I mean like he literally I kept watching.
17:18
It happened early in the match. He had a gash on his shoulder and
17:19
I'm like, he needs Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say I was.
17:22
I was like that bump went wrong. I was like, oh that
17:25
went wrong. I was like, this is over. If they're gonna drop
17:27
it now, I mean he had welt and I mean it was it was
17:30
just it's when it's done right that it's just fun to watch, and it's
17:37
it's stupid and fun, and that's that's really what makes it. I don't
17:42
know if you've ever been to a match, but they have a lot of
17:45
very good looking ladies that go as well that are that are big wrestling fans.
17:49
So that's that's always nice when you're at the concession stand. I'll mention
17:53
that when when she asked me what I want to do when we come back
17:56
to Texas. We're like, oh, well, you know, they have
17:59
lots of Roger, they have lots of hot women at these things, so
18:02
you know, yeah, I do. Like how what you're saying, though,
18:04
it's like, what what WWE did in order to make it good and
18:11
really great and come back into its own Like you're saying it sounds like what
18:15
they did was they took out the evil CEO and brought in their really talented
18:22
people that carried the entire organization for years and let them do what they do
18:30
best without the interference of an a hole CEO. And I think now I'm
18:41
brought back into the fall and I'm back inside the wrestling arena. I identify
18:49
with these people so much. I as a wrestler now I think I do.
18:55
Maybe not a wrestler, but yeah, I feel like I've been stabbed
18:57
in the head with a fork multiple times. W W Dick, you guys
19:03
drunkstardly. But no, that's a storyline I can certainly relate to. How
19:11
about that? Yes, I'm gonna be quadruple A. So you now,

22:22
Big news from the other Day dead at the age of seventy six from prostate
22:30
cancer, OJ Simpson and based on a photo that you initially shared Raj,
22:37
and then we shared it collectively from the Treehouse on air account. I do
22:45
think there is a massive opportunity here for a white broncohearse to lead the processional
22:56
for OJ's funeral and internment or whatever way in which he has finished off from
23:00
the planet. I mean, it wouldn't be his first time at the police
23:04
escort. But I hope the song, like I said, I hope the
23:08
song playing on the radio in his power, in his verse is a highway
23:12
to hell. That's the whole OJ thing is such a it's such an interesting
23:21
pop culture political thing. And it's like his name to say it's polarizing,
23:33
is it's only like half the story saying his name is more of a lightning
23:37
rod because it brings out so many thoughts. It's almost like someone that has
23:41
lived four five different lives and most of us have seen every different version of
23:48
them. I shouldn't be surprised anymore when when you know news breaks of a
23:55
quote unquote celebrity or a well known individual dies, But for some reason,
24:00
it surprised me a little bit seeing that he died after battling prostate cancer at
24:06
the age of seventy six. And there's so much to dissect there. I
24:15
hardly know where to start other than OJ died, and we all think it'd
24:18
be great if his funeral procession was led by a white Bronco hearst. And
24:22
that's and that's kind of my jumping off point. Yeah, and I'm glad
24:29
it's it's I don't know how you say. You know, I lost my
24:33
mother to cancer. So my heart goes out to his family because that's got
24:37
to be tough because they were still family did so that's still their dad or
24:41
their uncle or their whatever. Yeah, and you know, they had to
24:45
figure out in life how to look past what he was charged with. And
24:49
I guess the only solace could be, well he was found not guilty.
24:52
That might be some solace on their part. I've also come to think that
24:56
over the decades, you really didn't have to worry about catching the wrath of
25:02
OJ as long as you were not romantically involved with him, romantically involved with
25:07
someone he was romantically involved with. Or or stole his memorabilia or taking some
25:14
of his stuff or purchased it off of someone that stole it from him.
25:18
If you're not falling in one of those two categories, he was probably a
25:22
swell dude. Yeah. My favorite part of the memorabilia thing that when he
25:29
when he held the guy up a gun point, he in court goes,
25:32
I didn't know I wasn't doing anything illegal. Well, because he said that
25:36
he didn't know that they had guns, he had a gun. See,
25:41
this is this is part of the this is I think this is like the
25:44
whole OJ thing was sort of the start of information misinformation type stuff, because
25:51
you know, we kind of followed that story a little bit with the hold
25:53
up in the Vegas hotel. OJ is trying to get his memorabilia back.
25:57
Yeah. My my recollect of it was not that he had a gun,
26:02
but a couple of these guys in his posse did and he tried claiming that
26:06
he didn't know they had guns. Well, he was like one of the
26:10
guys came out, he was smart. Before they went in the room,
26:12
he gave his gun to one of the guys. Other guys had guns as
26:15
well, but he gave his to the other guy because like, I'm gonna
26:18
do the talking, gotcha. So what he went in in front of a
26:22
corner, in the front of the judge, Like, I didn't do anything,
26:26
So how is it? Then this this is what this is part of
26:27
what this is fascinating to me about because it's racial stuff, it's domestic violence
26:37
stuff, it's systemic racism, possibly within police forces. You've also got the
26:47
entire justice system. You've also got the culture of being a celebrity athlete and
26:52
the effects that has on the rest of society and everything I just said before
26:57
it Yeah, that's why it's so layered in this and that is the life
27:03
of OJ. Yeah, and it's you know, there's there's the thing you
27:07
know when you're talking about the l A PD already had an issue with Rodney
27:11
King, and then you have this happened where Mark Furman, the notorious racist
27:15
at one point and then there was one point where they drew blood from OJ
27:21
to test against what they were going to find if they were forensics might have
27:25
found it the scene, and then that officer goes with the vial of blood
27:30
to the crime scene and so that's how they disproved that as They're like,
27:33
well, he took the he could have dropped it all there, So there's
27:37
all that they didn't disprove it, they gave it, gave reasonable possible the
27:42
probably if we if we, if that trials held the day OJ's convicted,
27:48
because the DNA evidence is there, they just and this is one of those
27:51
things they didn't DNA was so new at the time they didn't know how to
27:55
deal with it. I mean, and that's one of the most bungled prosecutions
27:57
ever. Do wonder did SNL ever take the OJ trial the trial of the
28:04
century and cross it over with one of my favorite Phil Hartman sketches, The
28:10
Caveman Lawyer, because there were times that it seemed like the prosecution was acting
28:15
like the Caveman lawyers, saying, yeah, you know, I was frozen
28:18
and ice for thousands of years. I don't even know this DNA stuff,
28:22
but it seems whack. You get the idea. I just my favorite.
28:27
And I watched so much of that trial because I mean, that was we
28:33
all did. Yeah, but I sit there and watched like an hour of
28:37
it in the afternoon when I get home from school with my grandmother. There
28:41
was this one. It was judge Eto, and it was Christopher Darden for
28:47
the prosecution, and this is what you know, this trial had already gone
28:51
on for so long, and Ito goes, listen, you need to ask
28:56
him this, this, and this. That's it. Three hours later and
29:03
you know what I think, And I think that's one of the one.
29:06
Again, there's so many takeaways from the life of oj but that trial is
29:11
like an onion. It's just layer after layer. That was one of the
29:14
first times I realized that the people I thought in this world that were leaders
29:21
or statesmen, people that are supposed to be of high intelligence and high character
29:27
and integrity and all these things, seems like a lot of them are just
29:33
fucking stupid. And that's a great example. It's like, here's the judge
29:37
telling you you can't ask this, this, and this, and then what
29:40
happens. He doesn't listen to any of it, and it's three more hours
29:42
of it. Wouldn't say you can't ask this, He was literally, these
29:47
are the three questions you need to ask this witness. That's it. But
29:52
that's just I mean. But then, so you know that's the thing,
29:55
right, the burden of proof lies on the state, Right, who's brought
29:57
these charges again, so they just had to pick it apart and that's all
30:00
they did. Uh. You know, there's conspiracy theories that that I have
30:06
followed that I can follow conspiracy theories that one of them is is plausible to
30:12
me. I could see, there's a couple of scenarios that I could see
30:18
briefly let me hear that he didn't do it. I think one of the
30:22
big reasons was it was widely known that they both had an affinity for the
30:30
nose candy. Who's who's who's them? Both oh J and cole Bron Simpson.
30:36
They both like their their party drugs. And he had had it's like
30:41
a medical skill or whatever. But he got sober so he stopped doing all
30:45
of it. She did not, but he was paying the bill for it
30:48
and he stopped. So this is one of the theories is he got That's
30:51
why he left for that flight randomly for no reason, to Chicago and then
30:56
came back the next day. Was the drug The drug dealers were like,
31:00
hey, this is how much we're owed and he's like, I'm not paying
31:02
it and they're like, well, if you don't, we're gonna take care
31:06
of business. And he's like I don't know shit, I'm not saying anything.
31:10
I didn't see anything. See y'all later. And he got on a
31:11
plane for no reason. I know. I know. One theory that I
31:15
heard that at one point seemed plausible if you were to go the angle that
31:21
he did not do it was that his son had son did it. Yeah,
31:23
so that's why his his brunal molly footprint. I saw that one as
31:26
well. That was believable, like, and then there's the other very obvious
31:30
thing. And if you were to dig up my grandmother she'd happily scream at
31:33
the TV. Once again he did it. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
31:37
The one the one that the reason why his bloody footprints was there is
31:41
his son's hat had fallen off in the in the murder, and so he
31:45
went to retrieve his hat so his son didn't get popped for it because there
31:48
was a big I think the thing I think the thing that's really hard because
31:55
I said, yeah, the people who were you know, my staff is
31:57
they're all in their twenties. They don't know, they don't know anything about
32:01
like just what they've read or anything else. OJ was the first in my
32:08
unless I'm can think of someone else first black athlete. I mean, I
32:12
mean, he was truly great. I mean, but he was the first
32:15
crossover where you know, he's doing AVOs was it as or Hurts but yeah,
32:20
her car rental commercials, and then he's in the neked Gun movies.
32:22
And he was a true crossover star and just seemed lovable and at that time,
32:30
and yes, this is just deeply rooted in racism. Of he was
32:34
the lovable black guy, right, and that was one thing. One of
32:37
one of his most famous quotes was that I'm not black, I'm oj Yeah,
32:43
And it's kind of hard to argue that because he was he was one
32:47
he was universally liked. And and then obviously his wife ends up practically decapitated
32:53
with her friend Ron and we're all wondering why, I like how they're saying
32:58
that now with her friend, because when the trial started, he was just
33:00
a random whiter that was bringing back glasses because she had left him at the
33:05
restaurant. And that was a pile of ship because they were they were hooking
33:08
up because she walked. They had there was ice cream on the counter that
33:12
when they when the police shut up, that was melted. Uh. There
33:15
was a movie that was rented. Uh and she was. Now I have
33:19
also hang on, now I have also there is a that that was not
33:22
like he was actually gay, and that's that they were just friends. That
33:27
that that's another theory I heard as well. But and that's why maybe she
33:30
was comfortable in the lingerie to watch a movie and need some ice cream.
33:34
You know what, at the end of the day, all three of those
33:36
people are are now gone to obviously uh uh you know, sooner and against
33:42
their will. And that was OJ, you know, was against his will.
33:45
I'm sure. But yeah, it's like I said, it's just it's
33:52
it's a fascinating individual because it affected so many people's lives. It was the
33:58
beginning of where like to me, every single courtroom drama that is successful now
34:05
has a portion to think, a portion of their success to think the the
34:09
O. J. Simpson trial. I also blame OJ Simpson for the birth
34:15
of the Hollywood clan, that is, the Kardashians. Without without his situation,
34:21
they may not exist. Kylie might not only not be a billionaire,
34:25
but she might be stuck with the face she was born with along with the
34:29
rest of them. Basically, the ripple effects of OJ throughout society despite what
34:37
he did or didn't do, are really impressive but also terrifying. But I
34:42
mean, Chloe's still his, right, I mean, that's that's the thing.
34:44
That's another conspiracy. We don't know. Was she his? Was she
34:47
she won't take us, she won't take a DNA test. That's fine.
34:51
But if you look at them, they all that entire legal council. I
34:54
believe all die to cancer. Johnny Cochran had brand cancer, Okaylee Bailey had
35:00
prostate cancers, while I believe oj had cancer. And I can't believe.
35:04
What's the other guy. Robert Kardashian, No, yeah, he had brain
35:08
cancer. Same thing. Uh so, Robert Kardashian brain cancer. Johnny Cochran,
35:14
I think, had brain cancer. And then Aflee Bailey was old.
35:15
Yeah, Afte Bailey was. I can't count that because that's one of those
35:20
you live long enough, you're going to get if you're a man, you're
35:22
gonna get prostate cancer. Yeah. So, and then who's the who's the
35:24
main guy? What was it? I can't remember whose name? The black
35:28
hair Johnny Cochran, No, no, no, no, there was four
35:31
of them. There was Cochran, Kardashian, Bailey, and there was one.
35:35
I can't remember the other. I know you'll get it somebody, let's
35:39
look it up. Defense team. So anyway, so the whole defense team,
35:44
including OJ have all died of some some form of cancer, I believe.
35:46
So he's still kicking. Now, he's got he's got serious problems of
35:53
his own. Yeah, I think he's got like it does, doesn't he
35:58
do like some law commercials, like for the online law stuff that you can
36:02
do. I think he's does that. One of Ja's lawyers, very shock.
36:07
I think it's still alive. But like, how many Robert Shapiro?
36:14
Robert Shapiro, that's right, Yeah, yeah, how did I forget that?
36:16
Yeah, Roberts. I don't know if he's still alive, but if
36:19
you look it up, like almost all of them died of cancer. And
36:21
I'm like, that's a little telly, Like that's the deal they like that.
36:28
It's starting to sound like cancer's vindictive. Yeah, it's like, like
36:32
I said, it's the deal that they made with the devils, Like,
36:34
hey, uh yeah, I'm gonna get you acquitted, not guilty. You're
36:37
als gonna lose your ass in the civil trial. But every one of you
36:39
guys, not now, but every one of you guys couldn't die of cancer
36:44
and they're like, cool, let's because they're all like, yeah, we'll
36:51
beat it. They did not. But Brad Williams, I will have to
36:54
say he won the He won the Internet yesterday with his post. I think
36:59
a bunch of people have stolen it since then, but he if you look
37:01
at the timestamp, he's the one who posted the joke on Twitter. He
37:05
said, well, now oj can rest in peace knowing that the murderer of
37:09
his wife has died, because he was like, I'm not going to rest
37:15
until I find it. Well, you can rest in peace now because he's
37:19
dead. Uh. Yeah. He searched every golf course in America. I
37:29
feel like Crase one. Now you're in the visit us online a treehouseonair dot

37:58
Jacqueline, I hear you have some big news to share. I do so
38:01
I am looking at buying another house right now. It's not a good time
38:06
with the interest rates, but it's a house in the neighborhood where my grandparents
38:12
lived when I was first born, so it's neighborhood I lived in growing up,
38:15
and it's a neighborhood where my dad was a custom home builder when I
38:17
was really little. And I have already contacted the cooks. They're going to
38:21
come look at my roof when I go into my option period, and of
38:23
course my guys are going to look at the plumbing when we go into the
38:27
option period. And then I've got a new customer who we've been doing back
38:30
and forth business with. He's actually a home inspector, but he hired us
38:34
to fix his plumbing, so I'm going to hire him when the time comes
38:37
and we go into that inspection period. And prices are really high right now,
38:39
and they're going to continue raising because hypothetically the FED is supposed to drop
38:44
the interest rate later this year, and when that happens, prices are going
38:46
to go up even more, and so will competition, and so one of
38:50
the things that's going to bring down your ultimate price once you've made your offer,
38:52
and it's been received is how you negotiate the findings in the inspections.
38:58
So I want everybody to remember both meat and the cooks when when they're buying
39:02
when something needs to get investigated. So I preach it all the time.
39:07
You have to be very diligent during your inspections because it saves so much money.
39:10
Most plumbing companies don't do that, but Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing does.

tray. I know you're still feeling in your feels a little bit right now,
40:02
but there's some there's a bone that Raj has to pick with you.
40:05
Ro go ahead, what what was the what was the name of the movies?
40:08
That Ojison response? In naked gun, it's okay. See that's not
40:15
that's not a word. You don't mean naked gun? Do you? Naked
40:22
gun? Okay, it's closer. How's that word spelled when you saw it
40:29
spelled? When you saw it spelled out for the first time, the word
40:31
naked with an A? You went that A isn't the wrong place. It
40:37
needs to be an e. And it's naked gun, naked gun, naked
40:42
there he got it. Does it sound weird when you say it like that?
40:45
I one of those words I just never really Yeah, I thought about
40:52
that much. Naked gun, naked gun? Okay, Gray, you say
40:58
it however you want to say it. If you want to say it's naked
41:00
gun, then you call it the naked gun. Look I look at it
41:04
this way. I see that there's you know, the word, there's the
41:07
word naked, and then there's the word naked. Yeah, they are essentially
41:10
the same word, but naked. You can look this up anywhere. Uh,
41:17
when I'm not looking. The definition of naked is more naked. It's
41:25
like it's like it's like an additional layer of naked. So it's like someone
41:30
so naked they were naked. Oh gotcha? Okay, all right, how
41:35
about this? He was in those movies from the Files of the Police Squad.
41:43
I'm kind of surprised you could say files not the only F word.
41:52
I can say, no, it's not. Yeah, so Raj's girlfriend apparently
42:00
neked is the time. And then she says and so, okay, it's
42:02
monster, right she says, yeah, so it's you know, I was
42:06
always scared of monsters when I was a kid. I was like the TV
42:08
show the Monsters and she's like, no, like real monsters, and I
42:13
was like, monsters, Yeah, monsters. I was like, what are
42:16
we doing right now? What? What? What skin are we doing?
42:20
Because yeah, that sounds like a troubling communicative relationship. Yeah, naked and
42:27
monster, And I'm like, that's it. I kind of hope there's not
42:29
a naked monster anywhere. I won't know what she's talking about. There's the
42:34
nicked monster. I don't know there's a nicked monster. When Fred Grant Fred
42:43
Gwinn, wasn't that impressive? Kind of small for a big guy, but
42:51
Grandpa speaking of Grandpa, Okay, thank you for the segue. Our buddy
43:04
Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration sit me this the other day and he
43:07
wanted to make sure that I shared it with you, Trey and Raj since
43:10
you guys are also card carrying members of AARP, are you aware of sex
43:16
furniture that can be done right? It can be all furniture. Well,
43:23
what you need to do is open up your AARP newsletter email a little more
43:28
often, because, according to AARP, sex furniture adds zing and support to
43:34
aging bodies. From benches to wedge pillows, sex furniture can take love making
43:39
to the next level. AARP is clearly gone to the next level. Yeah.
43:47
Sexual wellness experts say sex furniture is beneficial for two reasons. Not only
43:52
does it push sex play beyond same old, same old, meaning eighty three
43:57
percent of adult survey by AARP said they have sexual fantasies. It serves as
44:01
an adaptive It serves as adaptive equipment that provides support for body parts that may
44:07
no longer be limber. See it's beneficial sex furniture ranging from hammocks to wedge
44:15
pillows and tantra chairs may not be a part of your current array, but
44:22
it's more mainstream than you might think, even sold by major companies like Amazon,
44:27
Etsy, Wayfair, and Ikea. So you're getting more than meatballs at
44:30
Ikea. A hammock, Yeah, to me, a hammock's far too dangerous
44:36
for even able bodied people. But I think it's specifically a sex hammock.
44:43
Any hammock is a sex hammock if you used properly. It said. It's
44:47
available on Amazon, so you guys talk and I will order. I'm more
44:57
curious to know what the sex furniture on Etsy looks like. Clearly I'm on
45:04
the younger demo for ARP, because when you say sex furniture, I'm thinking,
45:07
you know, a bondage cross and uh, hooks in the ceiling or
45:12
something like that. No, I totally get what you mean. And I'm
45:15
kind of the same way when like, when I saw this story talking about
45:17
sex furniture, I wasn't thinking about wedge pillows or something like that. I
45:22
was thinking more like, well, there's a reason why they call it a
45:24
pull out couch hold up to three hundred pounds over the door swing. Sex
45:32
adults well sorry, over the door sex adult swing. Now that's a sex
45:37
swing. Yeah, over the door. Yeah, see that's specific they're talking
45:42
like when they that, because that's just dangerous. I mean you're dealing with
45:47
old people. You're talking about, you know, a fall risk Jesus yeah
45:52
on with one. Yeah, you've absolutely got to be careful. I mean,
45:57
you can't just run around doing the happy Dolphin on the autumn and without
46:00
some concern for safety. You can't walk into someone's living room and just start
46:06
playing hide the lamp. Did you say lamp or lamb? Lamp? Okay,
46:15
sex furniture not. Not one of those is inappropriate. I think that's
46:20
important that we mentioned that because you don't want people getting the wrong impression when
46:23
they hear sex furniture, because you don't want them doing the Luca door off
46:27
the arm walk. What uh? What is a I see it? I
46:30
still don't know what I'm seeing, but it is a sex slingshot. That's
46:37
when you're done. Good to know they're selling it now and we're out or
47:02
it's just a whole new role play of David and versus Goliath. All right,
47:08
thanks for hanging out with us Inside the Treehouse, episode ninety one.
47:12
We appreciate it. We'll be back in here on Friday. And I hope
47:15
whatever you do in your hammock is safe. Close to the ground, I'm
47:22
close to the ground, but it's Yeah, you don't want to do the
47:27
sex a zipline. See you next time inside the treehouse. That is the
47:42
sex sling shot. That just looks like someone tied up. Yeah on a
47:49
trampoline. Yeah, but she's the trampoline bouncing on her when the old kangaroo
47:59
on the trampoline got it, except
