- 0:27Speaker 2: It is time to believe your worries outside and laugh with
- 0:32Speaker 2: us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Maley along with Trey
- 0:37Speaker 2: Trenholm and Jerry Caldwell and Raj Sharma. Raj, I saved
- 0:43Speaker 2: you for last because apparently you didn't get the blue
- 0:45Speaker 2: shirt memo. I did not this. This is completely by accident.
- 0:52Speaker 2: We didn't plan this. It just kind of sometimes happens. Women,
- 0:56Speaker 2: if they spend enough time together, can sync up on
- 0:59Speaker 2: their periods. Apparently, with us inside the treehouse, we'll sync
- 1:03Speaker 2: up on colors of shirt. Light blue is the theme
- 1:07Speaker 2: of the day. Apparently except for you, Raj, you got
- 1:09Speaker 2: the black hoodie. Yes again not intentional, but here we
- 1:16Speaker 2: are like minded.
- 1:17Speaker 3: I guess.
- 1:19Speaker 2: We are going to start today with something we have
- 1:21Speaker 2: not done in just a little while, and.
- 1:25Speaker 4: That is.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Total side note. I just saw that. I think CBS
- 1:49Speaker 1: said they we're going to have that reboot. I was
- 1:52Speaker 1: just about late this year.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Really, the last thing I saw was that there was
- 1:57Speaker 2: it was a dead show and it didn't have any hope.
- 2:02Speaker 2: So that's good news, thank you, Trey.
- 2:04Speaker 3: The pilot didn't get picked up because they had changed
- 2:07Speaker 3: it to where it was a girl that was, But
- 2:11Speaker 3: now they've gone back to the original format and looks
- 2:15Speaker 3: like it's happening.
- 2:18Speaker 2: All right, brown girl, No, is it a white guy? Yes,
- 2:22Speaker 2: there you go, Hollywood back in back in traditional form. No,
- 2:28Speaker 2: So that's unrelated to the story I'm going to share
- 2:30Speaker 2: with you, and you have to guess about whether or
- 2:32Speaker 2: not you believe it. But believe it or not coming back,
- 2:35Speaker 2: I think the time is right for it. It was
- 2:38Speaker 2: it was a fun show back in the day. It
- 2:41Speaker 2: can be a fun show today, especially with all the
- 2:44Speaker 2: superhero stuff you can make fun of, which is what
- 2:46Speaker 2: the whole point of the show was in the first place.
- 2:48Speaker 2: So yay, good news. All right, believe it or not,
- 2:55Speaker 2: science has finally proved that girl farts are worse than guys.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Do you believe it or not? Trey, We'll start with you, Uh,
- 3:10Speaker 2: don't believe it? Okay, Jerry, do you believe it or
- 3:14Speaker 2: not believe it? Believe it? And Raj do you believe
- 3:19Speaker 2: that girl farts are worse than men according to science? Uh?
- 3:26Speaker 3: I'll go with.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Yes, Trey, you are wrong. According to science, women's farts
- 3:34Speaker 2: really do tend to smell worse than men's, and there's
- 3:37Speaker 2: a reason behind it. According to research, women's farts contain
- 3:43Speaker 2: higher concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and superiority complex. The superiority
- 3:52Speaker 2: thing was my.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Addition that was, where was this research done?
- 3:57Speaker 2: I haven't gotten to that yet.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Stuck on the headline, science proves girl farts are worse,
- 4:04Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, it is. This is a classic case
- 4:06Speaker 2: of confirmation bias. I have long since believed that girl
- 4:10Speaker 2: farts are way worse than men's and science has now
- 4:13Speaker 2: proven it, and I saw a headline that backed it up,
- 4:16Speaker 2: So I'm going to stay with that. I'll try to
- 4:18Speaker 2: give you a little more info here. According to research,
- 4:21Speaker 2: women's flatulence contains higher concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. The sulfur
- 4:26Speaker 2: based compound behind the classic rotten egg smell, which makes
- 4:30Speaker 2: it smell stronger even if they pass gas less often
- 4:34Speaker 2: than dudes. But here's the twist. That smell of your
- 4:38Speaker 2: gas might not be all bad. Oh god, seriously, they
- 4:42Speaker 2: get to be right even when they fart. This isn't right.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide have been linked in studies
- 4:51Speaker 2: to potential brain protective effects, including helping nerve cells communicate
- 4:55Speaker 2: and possibly reducing risks associated with aging and Alzheimer's. Oh god,
- 5:00Speaker 2: no one showed my wife this story, because if this
- 5:03Speaker 2: is true, that means the more she farts, the more
- 5:05Speaker 2: I remember, and we can't have that. Well, that also
- 5:08Speaker 2: justifies us for all those times we gave them Dutch evans. Well,
- 5:14Speaker 2: see the difference there is. We're doing it just to
- 5:16Speaker 2: be funny or crude. Now if they start doing it's
- 5:20Speaker 2: because they're trying to change us and make us better.
- 5:23Speaker 2: So we've just given them another way to do that.
- 5:26Speaker 2: This is actually bad news. I now hate this story.
- 5:30Speaker 3: It prevents them from getting Alzheimer's, not us, I don't know.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide LinkedIn studies to potential brain
- 5:39Speaker 2: protective effects, including helping nerve cells communicate and possibly reducing
- 5:42Speaker 2: risk associated with aging and Alzheimer's. It doesn't specify there
- 5:48Speaker 2: if it's your own gas or if taking in somebody
- 5:51Speaker 2: else's does it or does it even matter? I mean
- 5:58Speaker 2: gas is gas, right, well it is. But there is
- 6:04Speaker 2: definitely a difference between smelling your own fart and somebody
- 6:09Speaker 2: else's because I'm pretty sure I've seen this somewhere that
- 6:12Speaker 2: science has also proven that the smell of your own
- 6:17Speaker 2: farts is not bad to you. It's not as bad
- 6:22Speaker 2: to you as it is compared to somebody else's because
- 6:25Speaker 2: it's your smell and for some reason, you don't mind
- 6:28Speaker 2: it as much. But if it's somebody else, you're like,
- 6:31Speaker 2: oh my god, what is that.
- 6:35Speaker 3: I've I've I've I've farted before, like I shouldn't be alive,
- 6:41Speaker 3: Like it's this is terrible. Uh yeah, yeah.
- 6:45Speaker 2: It doesn't happen often, but there have been a couple
- 6:47Speaker 2: of times where I've also let one go and thought,
- 6:52Speaker 2: oh god, what what if I been eating? Like it's
- 6:55Speaker 2: a it's a frightening thing when you fart and it
- 6:59Speaker 2: actually smells like somebody else. It's like, that's not someone
- 7:03Speaker 2: like just sneak in here like that that doesn't smell
- 7:05Speaker 2: like one of mine. You stret looking around because they're
- 7:07Speaker 2: an intruder, and that's when you know you're like, Okay,
- 7:12Speaker 2: something needs to change. I need to go to the doctor,
- 7:14Speaker 2: need to change my diet. Something doesn't happen often, but
- 7:16Speaker 2: when it does, it is kind of alarming. As you
- 7:18Speaker 2: just pointed out, right, yeah, I've had one more or
- 7:23Speaker 2: I was like, I need to go to the hospital.
- 7:26Speaker 3: There's something dead inside me.
- 7:29Speaker 2: What just happened. I don't need to know now if
- 7:32Speaker 2: there's a if there's an easier way to get it
- 7:34Speaker 2: out of me than it bursting through my chest. Also,
- 7:39Speaker 2: I need to stop eating cabbage like that. I mean,
- 7:46Speaker 2: so yeah, so I don't. I don't technically know if
- 7:50Speaker 2: if the girl smoke, if if that makes her brain
- 7:55Speaker 2: protected from Alzheimer's, or if she's just every time she
- 7:59Speaker 2: lets one go protecting everyone that inhales it. I don't
- 8:03Speaker 2: know that part.
- 8:03Speaker 1: I mean, you make it sound like if if it
- 8:05Speaker 1: was protecting you, that you would all of a sudden
- 8:07Speaker 1: be able to remember your birth.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Well, I guess it depends on the fart.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, well, you you don't you Uhara
- 8:19Speaker 1: in a good light in this one.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Well, they do say with great power, it comes great responsibility.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I mean, you could freak out a lot of people
- 8:31Speaker 2: if you just start crop dusting everyone you come across
- 8:34Speaker 2: and they all all of a sudden remember their birth.
- 8:36Speaker 2: That would be traumatic and hysterical. If you're the one doing.
- 8:41Speaker 3: It, you're going to turn into rain Man. At one point.
- 8:48Speaker 3: You're just gonna start counting cards in Vegas.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Like if I'm around someone that a female that farts
- 8:56Speaker 2: enough and I've got an identic memory, or if you'll
- 9:03Speaker 2: ever get enough of them together and you inhale it,
- 9:05Speaker 2: then you can play out your own version of Back
- 9:08Speaker 2: to the Future too where you're biff. I think there's
- 9:12Speaker 2: a category on Pornhub by the way, spelling parts. Yeah, oh,
- 9:18Speaker 2: I'm sure of course it is.
- 9:20Speaker 1: I feel like at some point you're gonna be able
- 9:21Speaker 1: to identify the second gunman on the grassy note.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 9:29Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the look on the CIA
- 9:31Speaker 2: agent's face when I come forwards.
- 9:36Speaker 5: You're in the visit us online a treehouseonair dot Com.

- 9:58Speaker 2: that you're offering, Daniel, the property review, and it's a
- 10:02Speaker 2: great one because, I mean, other roofing companies will offer
- 10:05Speaker 2: a free roof inspection, but I don't know of any
- 10:07Speaker 2: company that, when they're there to do that, will walk
- 10:10Speaker 2: around the rest of their property and point out any
- 10:13Speaker 2: issues you may have and potentially saving you a ton
- 10:17Speaker 2: of money.
- 10:17Speaker 6: Dan, It's amazing by no other contractors really focus on that.
- 10:22Speaker 6: But our whole goal is to help the homeowner protect
- 10:25Speaker 6: their home, protect their family, make sure they don't have
- 10:28Speaker 6: really costly mistakes down the road. And so yeah, if
- 10:31Speaker 6: we come out, you can ask us to do the
- 10:33Speaker 6: roof inspection. Absolutely, that's our primary concern. Everything starts at
- 10:37Speaker 6: the top. But you'll be amazed when you start walking
- 10:39Speaker 6: around your property what you will see and water some
- 10:42Speaker 6: items that could be failing around your home that will
- 10:44Speaker 6: literally cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars if
- 10:48Speaker 6: you let them go. So yeah, call us out, let
- 10:50Speaker 6: us come around. We have a nice little checklist. We
- 10:53Speaker 6: can walk around the property. We invite you to walk
- 10:55Speaker 6: around with us. We love to educate you. There's a
- 10:57Speaker 6: lot of first time home buyers out there that have
- 10:59Speaker 6: had a home for a couple of years, or maybe
- 11:01Speaker 6: they bought a pre owned home and around the area,
- 11:04Speaker 6: and those homes need some maintenance and they need some TLC.
- 11:07Speaker 6: And just like a good woman, if you don't give
- 11:10Speaker 6: her enough TLC, some bad things are gonna happen down
- 11:13Speaker 6: the line, So make sure you don't do that.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure your house doesn't turn into a poltergeist

- 11:57Speaker 2: dfw dot com. On the heels of science, proving that
- 12:05Speaker 2: girl farts are worse than ours. We have a new
- 12:10Speaker 2: word alert I believe this one is attributed to Jin Alpha.
- 12:16Speaker 1: No Boy.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Teens have officially found a new way to throw shade,
- 12:22Speaker 2: and parents are actually kind of loving how funny it is.
- 12:25Speaker 2: The new word is chopel ganger. This is the latest
- 12:29Speaker 2: slang taking over middle school classrooms. But what does it mean?
- 12:33Speaker 2: Does anyone know? Right now? Do you know it yet? No?
- 12:39Speaker 3: I know actual words?
- 12:42Speaker 2: Man if I may, I would like to take this
- 12:45Speaker 2: opportunity to quote Thor in Avengers Infinity War when he
- 12:52Speaker 2: said all words are made up. It really is one
- 12:58Speaker 2: of the most brilliant lines in cinema history, and it
- 13:02Speaker 2: was sort of a throwaway in the middle of that
- 13:05Speaker 2: epic saga. And it really was Thors on the spaceship
- 13:08Speaker 2: with the Guardians of the Galaxy and they're like, you
- 13:11Speaker 2: just made that up. All the words it made up,
- 13:13Speaker 2: and then right into the next line, and he was right,
- 13:15Speaker 2: because they are. Choppel Ganger is the new term from teenagers,
- 13:21Speaker 2: and it's meaning it's pretty damn good. Actually, choppel Ganger
- 13:26Speaker 2: is a noun and it describes someone who looks like
- 13:29Speaker 2: another person, except they're the downgraded off brand version. Think
- 13:35Speaker 2: t MoU doppelganger. That is choppel ganger. It is a
- 13:40Speaker 2: mashup of two words, chopped and doppelganger. I guess chopped
- 13:45Speaker 2: is a gin alpha term for I guess like a
- 13:50Speaker 2: cutoff version, a chopped up version of the real thing
- 13:53Speaker 2: that that word. I don't exactly know, but I had
- 13:55Speaker 2: the definition here for choppel ganger, and that's what they say.
- 13:59Speaker 1: I mean, Gary Busey. Gary Busey is the poor man's nicky.
- 14:10Speaker 3: Nicky is the poor man's ripped horn.
- 14:18Speaker 2: And two of those gave us two of the best
- 14:20Speaker 2: mugshots of all freaking time. Absolutely, does Gary Busey not
- 14:26Speaker 2: have a mugshot. He's got to have one somewhere. I
- 14:30Speaker 2: don't think buy is a mug shot.
- 14:33Speaker 3: I don't think the camera takes his picture.
- 14:35Speaker 2: No that if it does, it does so silently because
- 14:42Speaker 2: it knows what's good for it.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Mugshots aside, that was always you know, Gary Busey, you
- 14:52Speaker 1: know you're the poor man's nick nolty, You're a knockoff.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I never really thought about that, but I
- 14:59Speaker 2: guess you're right. I guess they look similar. I just
- 15:01Speaker 2: did a quick search. I don't see I just oh,
- 15:03Speaker 2: I did Gary mugshot? No wonder I got some weird results.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Me tried Gary Busey instead, But yeah, Rip Torn and
- 15:11Speaker 2: Nick Nolty had two of the most classic mug shots
- 15:16Speaker 2: in history. There's no doubt about that. But here I'm
- 15:19Speaker 2: trying to see I don't see a Gary Busey mugshot. Interestingly, though,
- 15:25Speaker 2: when you type in Gary Busey mugshot and look up
- 15:28Speaker 2: an image result, you get the Nick Nolty mugshot. That's
- 15:35Speaker 2: how good of a mugshot. Nick Nolty's was back in
- 15:38Speaker 2: the day. Not only is it his, but he also
- 15:40Speaker 2: gets attributed for Gary Busey, who doesn't even have one.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Go back and compare their their late eighties pictures. There
- 15:49Speaker 1: there's strikingly similar.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say this. Does everyone know who mel
- 15:57Speaker 2: Kiper is? The NFL draft expert on his for years?
- 16:01Speaker 2: Mm hmm, Well, Jerry, he's the NFL draft expert for years,
- 16:06Speaker 2: And for those that don't know who he is, I'm
- 16:11Speaker 2: going to show you what he looks like.
- 16:13Speaker 1: He's responsible for the business of the NFL draft the
- 16:17Speaker 1: entertainment side.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that is that is very, very accurate. I'm
- 16:27Speaker 2: trying to get a photo pulled up of him here,
- 16:29Speaker 2: but it is true. Trey has a choppel ganger, a
- 16:35Speaker 2: less good looking version of him, and it actually is
- 16:40Speaker 2: mel Kiper, the NFL draft expert from ESPN. I stand
- 16:45Speaker 2: by that wholeheartedly, Raj, you know what I'm talking about
- 16:51Speaker 2: right now that you said it. Yes, I didn't know
- 16:55Speaker 2: his name, but yes, so quick, look here you go.
- 17:02Speaker 2: This is mel Kiper. That's Trey right here. So here's
- 17:14Speaker 2: Trey and we've sorry, now I'm just playing with buttons.
- 17:25Speaker 2: So Trey and mel Kiper and I and I mean
- 17:28Speaker 2: this as a compliment to you. Trey, mel Kiper is
- 17:31Speaker 2: your chappel ganger. You are there better looking version. Yes, yes,
- 17:36Speaker 2: there's the.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Ganger.
- 17:39Speaker 1: I'll take that over the one most people say so,
- 17:42Speaker 1: which is head Cruz.
- 17:46Speaker 5: Oh.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Oh that's not right.
- 17:50Speaker 3: I mean that kind of is.
- 17:58Speaker 2: No. No, I'm no, I'm not gonna do it to you, Trey.
- 18:01Speaker 2: I'm not. Oh. On the other hand, hang on, let
- 18:04Speaker 2: me go old school, yeah, before the beard. Yeah, ship,
- 18:12Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Trey. You know what, Let's just stay with
- 18:23Speaker 2: mel Kiper. How about that?
- 18:24Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do that.
- 18:26Speaker 2: But again again, actually, you know what, there's there's still
- 18:29Speaker 2: there's still a positive angle to keep in mind on
- 18:31Speaker 2: this I'm gonna I'm gonna pull that up in a second.
- 18:37Speaker 2: But it's still true. You are still the better looking
- 18:41Speaker 2: version of you and the Ted Cruz doppelganger thing. So
- 18:45Speaker 2: I still I still believe that you are Trey Prime
- 18:51Speaker 2: and your chappel gangers happened to be mel Kiper from
- 18:54Speaker 2: the NFL draft and Ted Cruz, us Senator for our
- 19:00Speaker 2: state of Texas. And you're right, there is a third
- 19:07Speaker 2: that wouldn't it? This is not it.
- 19:10Speaker 3: You're such a dick.
- 19:15Speaker 2: I thought that was it. That was a dick move. Look,
- 19:20Speaker 2: I just see it as Trey has a built in
- 19:23Speaker 2: easy Halloween costume year in, year out. If he so chooses,
- 19:26Speaker 2: just go as Grandpa Munster. That's fucked up, Trey. Who's
- 19:35Speaker 2: who is your third?
- 19:38Speaker 1: I said, I people have said it, and I don't
- 19:40Speaker 1: see it at John Cusack.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I can see that.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Okay, Uh all right, Oh you know what that's That's
- 19:50Speaker 2: not bad Trey. I feel like that's a loose, a
- 19:53Speaker 2: looser interpretation, but I could see that. I see the resemblance.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Yeah, no, much to my I just absolutely disdain Ted
- 20:03Speaker 1: Cruz is the one that just cuts me.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Okay, So that was going to be my next question
- 20:08Speaker 2: of your four possible chapel gangers being mel Kiper, John Cusack,
- 20:14Speaker 2: Senator Ted Cruz, and Grandpa Munster. Which is the one
- 20:17Speaker 2: that angers you the most?
- 20:22Speaker 3: It angers him so much he flies to Mexico when
- 20:24Speaker 3: it gets cold.
- 20:26Speaker 2: And keep in mind Trey is an ardent conservative, so
- 20:30Speaker 2: it might hurt him in two ways.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Yeah. And if you ever freestyle rap, Trey Prime is
- 20:38Speaker 3: your name, bro.
- 20:42Speaker 2: And now, so this is one of those gin alpha
- 20:45Speaker 2: terms that I think all of us are actually like, Okay,
- 20:47Speaker 2: this is one we can kind of get on board with.
- 20:49Speaker 2: It's funny. It's not something stupid like a lot of
- 20:54Speaker 2: their terms are. I mean, it was only a couple
- 20:56Speaker 2: of months ago that I learned the actual horse word,
- 21:00Speaker 2: the origin word for riz. Do you guys know what
- 21:04Speaker 2: that is? Yeah, charisma, Trey got it.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Uh it took me forever to figure that out. And
- 21:14Speaker 2: to be there, someone had to tell me.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Figure out the source word for fucking skivity And then
- 21:18Speaker 1: you let me know there is one for that.
- 21:20Speaker 3: I just word for that is marijuana.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Laced with some stuff. Yeah. Uh so, Trey, We've that's
- 21:30Speaker 2: so funnyt your expense and I appreciate it, and I
- 21:31Speaker 2: mean that in a good way at your expense. But
- 21:34Speaker 2: you're the easy mark in here when it comes to
- 21:36Speaker 2: finding celebrity lookalikes. Like there's right there, there's four and
- 21:39Speaker 2: I only knew of three, so you gave me the fourth.
- 21:41Speaker 2: And again, apologies to cruise. Look like contest winnings that
- 21:45Speaker 2: you could get if somebody ever threw that party. Uh
- 21:48Speaker 2: do the rest of us have famous lookalikes at all? Like,
- 21:52Speaker 2: I don't think I do. Raj, I'm not sure if
- 21:54Speaker 2: you do. And Jerry is Jerry, so I have no idea.
- 21:57Speaker 2: I mean, right now, Terry looks more like Kurt Cobain
- 22:02Speaker 2: at the moment with his current look with the long
- 22:03Speaker 2: hair and goatee.
- 22:05Speaker 3: Uh, Jerry looks like Chad Croger from Nickelback.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Uh, that's it, Yes, all right, you pulled this up?
- 22:12Speaker 1: Or if he shaved and put on a suit, you know,
- 22:15Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill from the Silence of the Lambs.
- 22:17Speaker 2: That is one that we've that's a yeah, that's a
- 22:20Speaker 2: comparison we've We've drawn quite a bit.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Mine would be the worst one. I can't remember the
- 22:28Speaker 3: guy that killed the kid in Florida.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I'm sorry you're gonna have to narrow that down.
- 22:39Speaker 3: The standard ground the first Oh this is.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Oh gosh, he lives in now Oh.
- 22:54Speaker 3: I got that a lot a couple of times when
- 22:57Speaker 3: I was on stage at the Laugh Factory, George Zimmerman. Yes,
- 23:01Speaker 3: that's what I'm you can when I was a lot heavier,
- 23:05Speaker 3: when my beard was all black and I was a
- 23:08Speaker 3: little heavier, I got him a lot. They would post
- 23:13Speaker 3: my videos on the Love Factory website. I would get
- 23:16Speaker 3: that quite a bit.
- 23:20Speaker 1: When he first said that, I was like, Casey Anthony, that.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Would be an interesting one.
- 23:33Speaker 3: Yeah, So I got that quite a bit. So I
- 23:36Speaker 3: think mine's the worst of all of us.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Being George Zimmerman. I would have to agree with you
- 23:43Speaker 2: as far as who it is. And so yeah, my
- 23:47Speaker 2: apologies there.
- 23:52Speaker 1: At least George Zimmerman's gone away. Ted Cruise is a
- 23:55Speaker 1: hangs hang upon me for years.
- 24:00Speaker 2: He's he's a he's a hangnail on your side. Uh,
- 24:05Speaker 2: let me see here if I can pull this up.
- 24:09Speaker 2: So here's Jerry as Chad Kreeger. Okay, yep, currently pretty solid. Yep,
- 24:16Speaker 2: all right, Jerry, you your chappel Ganger is Chad Kreeger.
- 24:20Speaker 2: This is again this is good news because I would say,
- 24:23Speaker 2: as that straight guy, you are the better looking version
- 24:26Speaker 2: of him. So congratulations, he is your chapel ganger, you
- 24:29Speaker 2: are not his. And then, Raj, this really does just
- 24:34Speaker 2: suck for you because yes, yep, I told you. Sorry
- 24:41Speaker 2: there it is that that that laughs not for you Russia.
- 24:44Speaker 3: I know, man, if they do the biopic, I know
- 24:46Speaker 3: I'm getting the I know I'm getting the part. There's
- 24:48Speaker 3: nobody else getting it.
- 24:51Speaker 2: I mean again, you're the better looking version. At least
- 24:57Speaker 2: you're not at least people don't see you as George
- 25:00Speaker 2: Zimmerman's chopolganger.
- 25:04Speaker 4: He's a murderer like you guys, star television star, senator,
- 25:13Speaker 4: Uh you know job.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Yeah, but George Zimmerman's more well like than Ted Cruz.

- 26:00Speaker 2: or we want to get to here inside the treehouse today.
- 26:02Speaker 2: But I did want to you know, make sure I
- 26:03Speaker 2: open this up for the possibility of you guys being
- 26:07Speaker 2: able to run me through the ringer here, because look,
- 26:12Speaker 2: when it comes to chapel gangers, I please tell me
- 26:16Speaker 2: if I've got one, because I spent all morning trying
- 26:19Speaker 2: to think. Okay, Trey was easy with you know, with
- 26:26Speaker 2: mel Kiper I didn't realize the Ted Cruz thing. Again. Apologies,
- 26:30Speaker 2: Jerry absolutely is Chad. Chad Kreeger from Nickelback is his
- 26:35Speaker 2: chapel ganger Kroger. I think it's Kreeger.
- 26:40Speaker 3: It's Kroger.
- 26:43Speaker 2: I'll let him assume me uh. And then Raj yours
- 26:47Speaker 2: being George Zimmerman, I think, you know, might be the
- 26:50Speaker 2: worst of all of us. Do I have one?
- 26:53Speaker 3: Do I?
- 26:54Speaker 2: Because you know, is there any semi semi Is there
- 26:59Speaker 2: any semi fan this person that I look like that
- 27:01Speaker 2: you could be like you're the uglier version of this
- 27:04Speaker 2: person or vice versa. Not that I can just bring
- 27:10Speaker 2: up to mind, but I am sure there is an
- 27:12Speaker 2: app for that. So yeah, I thought about putting my
- 27:17Speaker 2: like putting a photo into pat GPT and saying, Hey,
- 27:20Speaker 2: who's who's my celebrity lookalike? And I haven't had a
- 27:23Speaker 2: chance to do that yet, Yeah, I don't see one. Yeah,
- 27:28Speaker 2: like like even our buddy Asher, because I'm just like,
- 27:32Speaker 2: he looks like Matt Damon. Uh, so many of our
- 27:34Speaker 2: friends that you'd be like, ah, this person looks like that,
- 27:37Speaker 2: Like my wife looks a little bit like Sandra Bullock,
- 27:41Speaker 2: and so most people have if you do like the
- 27:43Speaker 2: side by side, like, okay, yeah, I can see similarities here.
- 27:47Speaker 2: I don't have one, not even a female one. I
- 27:52Speaker 2: don't think.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't see it.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I just just in case I wanted to
- 28:00Speaker 2: be fair. But let me get back to you. You're
- 28:06Speaker 2: gonna do something really, really bad. I can feel it
- 28:12Speaker 2: if you think a one, let me know. In the meantime,
- 28:18Speaker 2: speaking of not being able to tell one thing from another,
- 28:24Speaker 2: a Filipino woman was worshiping a green statue for four
- 28:28Speaker 2: years thinking it was Buddha. Turns out it's Shrek. Talk
- 28:36Speaker 2: about a chapel ganger, And to be fair, like a
- 28:51Speaker 2: little green statue of Shrek that's made to look sort
- 28:55Speaker 2: of like the Buddha does look like the Buddha except
- 28:59Speaker 2: for the you know, very shrek ogre like ears. You guys,
- 29:06Speaker 2: can't see that right there, can you? All right, well,
- 29:09Speaker 2: just believe me there for a moment. Yeah, just look
- 29:17Speaker 2: it up on your phone. Just imagine your head, little
- 29:22Speaker 2: fat green Shrek as boot to boom. So this I'll
- 29:24Speaker 2: start over. The Filipino woman was worshiping a green statue
- 29:27Speaker 2: for four years and she found out recently it's just
- 29:30Speaker 2: the animated character Shrek, and she treated the green ogre
- 29:34Speaker 2: figure with great reverence, saying she will continue to worship
- 29:38Speaker 2: the kind hearted cartoon statue. I feel like this is
- 29:44Speaker 2: an indictment on society as a whole, where a lot
- 29:47Speaker 2: of us these days are backed into a corner and
- 29:51Speaker 2: feel like, instead of admitting we were wrong about something,
- 29:53Speaker 2: more than doubling and tripling down on it. So like
- 29:56Speaker 2: in this lady's case, she's been praying to this little
- 30:00Speaker 2: green statue of Shrek thinking it was Buddha. But she
- 30:04Speaker 2: feels better overall, so does it really matter. I mean,
- 30:08Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's sort of a
- 30:12Speaker 2: cathartic process for prayer, reflection, meditation, whatever, you know, whatever
- 30:17Speaker 2: you do, And if she feels better praying to little
- 30:21Speaker 2: Green Shrek, then I guess more power to her.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean at least it wasn't. At least it wasn't.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Donkey, and I wouldn't expect any miracles. Yeah, but yeah,
- 30:41Speaker 2: if you're just like sharing some stuff with a little
- 30:43Speaker 2: green statue or whatever, then that makes you feel better. Fine.
- 30:46Speaker 2: But yeah, like a lot of people pray to Jesus
- 30:49Speaker 2: and say, you know, can you change my luck? Can
- 30:52Speaker 2: I you know, please protect this sick fame remember, or
- 30:55Speaker 2: something like that, and maybe it works. Sometimes it does,
- 30:58Speaker 2: sometimes it doesn't. You don't really know. But in this case,
- 31:01Speaker 2: you can pray to the little green Shrek and he's
- 31:03Speaker 2: not going to cure your cat's cancer because it's Shrek.
- 31:08Speaker 3: No, but he he would eat the cat.
- 31:12Speaker 2: That's the problem if he was real. The woman's misplaced faith,
- 31:19Speaker 2: of course, sparked amusement across social media. The story actually
- 31:22Speaker 2: began four years ago when the unidentified woman from Manila
- 31:26Speaker 2: bought a Buddhist statue from a local shop. With its
- 31:29Speaker 2: round shape and gentle expression, she believed it to be
- 31:32Speaker 2: a depiction of Buddha and treated it with great, great reverence.
- 31:39Speaker 2: She placed it in a prominent spot in her home
- 31:41Speaker 2: altar and began worshiping it daily, offering incense and praying
- 31:45Speaker 2: in the hope of receiving blessings. However, a visiting friend
- 31:49Speaker 2: noticed that the color and facial features of the statue
- 31:51Speaker 2: looked quite different from a typical Buddha. Upon closer inspection,
- 31:55Speaker 2: they discovered that the figure she had been devoutly worshiping
- 31:58Speaker 2: was actually a three D print model of Shrek, the
- 32:01Speaker 2: fictional green ogre from the animated film Shrek, known for
- 32:04Speaker 2: his intimidating appearance but kind heart. On learning the truth,
- 32:09Speaker 2: the woman was both amused and speechless, and rather than
- 32:12Speaker 2: feeling embarrassed or upset, she laughed and said that what
- 32:15Speaker 2: truly mattered was the sincerity of her prayers, not the
- 32:19Speaker 2: figure itself. She added that faith with good intentions mattered
- 32:23Speaker 2: more than appearances. Is she right?
- 32:27Speaker 3: Well, I mean she should have known, you know, when
- 32:29Speaker 3: she was praying that, you know, when it was answering
- 32:31Speaker 3: back that Buddha's not Scottish.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Uh, that's the statue doesn't talk. I don't think, Like,
- 32:41Speaker 2: how amazing would it be if had a poll string
- 32:42Speaker 2: and you know, to talk to her, right? That would
- 32:46Speaker 2: have been the other clue I believe.
- 32:49Speaker 3: Don't care if your buddhast statue has a pull string.
- 32:53Speaker 3: We got a problem.
- 32:58Speaker 1: We'd at least know what Mike Myers is doing for
- 33:00Speaker 1: the last five years.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Staying creative but just cashing those royalty checks for all
