Transcript
- 0:25It is time to leave your worries outside and come laugh with us right here
- 0:35inside the treehouse on a frad day. May twenty four, twenty twenty four.
- 0:43Sure, if you're keeping track, that is five twenty four twenty four.
- 0:50Yay for numbers, Raja know you're a bit of a numerologist. Does
- 0:56that date hold any special meaning anything? We should be doing lotto tickets or
- 1:00getting out our tenfoil hats? What's the deal? So it's oh five and
- 1:07then two four six two four six. That's not if you want to do
- 1:11in multiples of three, I would get a lot of your tickets, right,
- 1:17Oh five? What so five may? Yep? May four two plus
- 1:22four six two plus four twenty four six? Okay, so then I should
- 1:27get a pick three of five six six. Yes, Hey, I understood
- 1:33that. For a second there, I thought I was stuck back doing a
- 1:37math problem that I would never understand on my SATs. Yeah, so I
- 1:42would do the five six six, all right? So we all need to
- 1:47do five six six on a pick three. We don't all need to do
- 1:49one of us needs to do. If we all do it, I think
- 1:53the jackpot goes, isn't It isn't it. How many people win? I
- 1:57don't know how it works. Yeah, it's divided amongst So let's just want
- 2:01just one of us do it and then still divide it up three ways,
- 2:06or then we fight over it. Well we murder that's how we like each
- 2:13other. Or do we pick off people we don't like first? Well,
- 2:15we would have to get to you. That's the issue. It's the advantage
- 2:20I have here, That's right. I mean you have no power, but
- 2:23we have to still. Can you buy lottery tickets there? You can?
- 2:27You can buy lottery tickets here? Really? M m Yeah? There is
- 2:30power ball, there is uh Mega millions, there's the VI I lottery is
- 2:37a thing because without it, you never have the dream of owning a generator
- 2:44large enough to where you no longer need the power company. It's a it's
- 2:50not the most sustainable system, but it is a system and it's in place.
- 2:54What does the jackpot of a v I lottery look like? Seventeen bucks
- 3:00eighty six? That's actually, mister smartass. It's a ninety two geog tracker.
- 3:09Two crabs in a storm. I've actually been on a trail before Raj
- 3:17where it was mating season four crabs. It just happened to be Christmas Eve.
- 3:25It's Christmas Eve. We were on the Reef Bay Trail a couple of
- 3:29years ago, and as we're making our way down the path, we slowly
- 3:37recognized that the earth was a moving and within a couple of seconds realized that's
- 3:43not the ground moving, but it was, in fact, hundreds of hermit
- 3:47crabs that I guess we're we interrupted their shelled out orgy. So then they
- 3:55all started dispersing as we came upon them. That was a poor choice of
- 4:01words. That's the exact choice of words I intended. Sir, Then well
- 4:10done, thank you. What is that? If you don't mind me asking
- 4:15what is that? If you could paint a picture of what that looks like,
- 4:20imagine so it's kind of rainy that day, so imagine a lot of
- 4:25leaves on the ground on a hiking trail, but very very beaten down path,
- 4:30right, So it's a good path. It's probably I don't know,
- 4:33it's like five or six feet wide, so it's pretty wide. It's almost
- 4:36a road. It actually may have been a road at one point because I
- 4:40think because there is a sugar mill at the base of the trail next to
- 4:45the water so it was a road of some sort back at the turn of
- 4:47the nineteenth in the twentieth century, okay, before a guy got crushed in
- 4:53the gears. So anyway, it's a fairly wide road. It was wet
- 4:57with leaves because it had rained that morning, and some of some of deering
- 5:00our hike. So then imagine the wet leaves on the road on the path
- 5:08with a bunch of rocks that all of a sudden start moving because the hermit
- 5:13crabs are in their shells and their shells look like rocks. So then they
- 5:15all start moving away, and then you realize, oh, those are all
- 5:17crabs. M m, yeah, gotcha. When you see two or three
- 5:23at first, like heyl crab, then you realize you're surrounded by hundreds,
- 5:27you're like, holy shit, we are outnumbered. Okay, that is ah
- 5:33And and then you continued on the hike. You didn't turn back around.
- 5:38Yeah that was fine. Yeah, that's Look, they're not They're not going
- 5:43to kill you. And even if they tried, it would be a very
- 5:47slow assault. They might eventually take you over. It would but it would
- 5:55take hours. I'm pretty sure I could run through them. That's that's my
- 6:00fear. Is the hours is because you were hiking, which is also now
- 6:04you're away from people. Yes, and it's not like those giant Australian crabs
- 6:11that you know, are they coconut crabs or something where Yeah, I don't
- 6:15have a golf club. Oh my god, hermit crab? How big is
- 6:19that? Crabs are tiny? Okay, some are tiny summer that the size
- 6:25of your fist. That's not bad. Yeah, you can kick that.
- 6:30I mean, you're a pretty fit guy. You can kick and run.
- 6:34Well, you can kick one, but hundreds, I mean that's gonna hurt
- 6:39after a while. Yeah. I think you don't want to do is run
- 6:43and trip over one of them and you hit your chin on the shell of
- 6:46another one and now you're knocked out, in which case they could then overrun
- 6:49you and take their time with you. That you don't want that. That's
- 6:53that's see, that's what happens to me. That's and then that's the story.
- 6:57It's like, it's unbelievable. How that's there's a one in ten billion
- 7:01chance that's me. That's why I don't hike, and that's why I don't
- 7:04visit you. So I'm going to tell that to people around the Island.
- 7:11You know the reason why my friend doesn't come to visit. It's not because
- 7:15he's imaginary. It's because he's afraid he's going to be overrun and eaten by
- 7:17hermit crabs. Yeah, what a horrible way. You're not dealing with like
- 7:21crabs of that size. That's the thing right there. That's Australia. Yeah,
- 7:27everything there kills you. That's a nightmare land. Speaking of visiting other
- 7:36places, last week, we were staying on Saint Thomas for a few days
- 7:42for an event. And I don't know about you guys, because Trey,
- 7:47I know you're very busy. You don't travel a whole lot. Raj you
- 7:50travel all the time for work, but you typically get put up in hotels
- 7:55and things. So I don't know what your level of Airbnb experience. Okay,
- 8:01I've never done it. Okay, Well, I know that you both
- 8:05have done ride share a lot. Do you covet your ride share ratings as
- 8:13as a customer as highly as Tara and I covet our Airbnb customer rating?
- 8:22My Uber, I believe, is a four point nine Okay, yeah,
- 8:26I believe mine is in that four eight four nine range. The only reason
- 8:28it's not a full five stars was a severe miscommunication between me and a driver
- 8:33in San Francisco a handful of years ago, and I'm still perturbed by that
- 8:37because that was not my fault, that was his. Yeah, I had
- 8:39one that stopped the ride because he had an emergency, but I got penalized.
- 8:46You got ding for it, that bastard did. I amazingly still have
- 8:50like a four to seven five. And I say amazingly because you have to
- 8:54keep in mind with what I do. I have had to put many a
- 8:58drunk person in an uber and them home on my personal account. Oh that's
- 9:03wrong. You need to have a burner uber. I you know, I
- 9:09since then started, you know, accounts for the different bars I have worked
- 9:11for. So but now what happens if on your dime they throw up in
- 9:18that car? Because isn't that like three hundred four dollars? Don't you have
- 9:20to it's like one hundred and fifty. So, you know, typically if
- 9:28they're bar customers, like I had their credit card or at least their information,
- 9:33so if they did a little light identity theft, no, I mean
- 9:39I've straight up to all of them, like you puke, You're paying for
- 9:41it? Okay, so they're aware. Yes, also Daddy needs some new
- 9:46slippers, and Daisy would like a new chew toy, ironically because she has
- 9:52no teeth. Uh yeah, okay, Yeah, I've never airbnbad because I
- 9:58think and again I think this is a theme of our show for when it
- 10:03comes to me, it's a very white thing to do. No, it's
- 10:09not it. I'm pretty sure Airbnb is on the DEI train. They're very
- 10:16much welcoming of having people of all backgrounds welcomed into the homes of others.
- 10:22Yeah, I think you want people to come in so you can kill them.
- 10:28I don't. I don't see a lot. I don't see a lot
- 10:31of Indian Airbnbs. I mean, we have hotels and motels. We do
- 10:35that, We do that. Are you shunned if you don't stay in a
- 10:41hotel motel? So I'm going to Reno and my buddy has two. So
- 10:50the club is putting me up in Reno next week, so May thirty June
- 10:54second, I'll be in Reno. The hotel the casino is putting me up.
- 10:58But my buddy has two hotels, and I can't tell you how many
- 11:01times I've gotten Well, you know, you're staying here, right, so
- 11:03it is one of those. But we don't people in our homes. We
- 11:09don't. You got to take a shoes off. It smells like curry.
- 11:13It doesn't work. That's why it doesn't make sense for us to airbnb.
- 11:18That's a very wide thing to do. And then I've also been I've seen
- 11:24the lifetime movie of the Airbnb Killer. That's a lifetime movie. Yes,
- 11:30it's based on the true story. I don't know how much of it's true,
- 11:33but I'm good exactly a story is extremely vague as opposed to the plethora
- 11:41of motel murders. Thank you, Trey H. Do you think has more
- 11:48murders per capita the Airbnb on the cliff Side that we stayed or any and
- 11:52all red roof ends. So okay, I'm so surprised that you said red
- 11:58roofins. So all the red roof ins are Indian owned. Every sh'll be
- 12:01surprised. I said it quite intentionally. I did not know that. But
- 12:05it's all Indian owned. It's an Indian owned company. So anyway, Yeah,
- 12:11Tara and I are very protective of our five star Airbnb customer rating,
- 12:16so much so that we're the above and beyond guests. Even when we stay
- 12:22in hotels, we're always really good about trying to clean up after ourselves.
- 12:26Some people will just leave things a mess. Now at airbnbs, sometimes some
- 12:31places will give you some checkout instructions. In addition to the time that you
- 12:35need to check out, they'll also request you do certain things, like like
- 12:39in a hotel, they say, lead the towels on the floor. They
- 12:43may do that. They may tell you, like this place we just stayed
- 12:45in, go ahead and throw that stuff in the washing machine and start a
- 12:50load. Cool, we can do that. Take out the trash. Cool,
- 12:52we can do that. And when you're on an island, they might
- 12:54have a few extra steps to take because things are a little different here.
- 12:58Well, when it comes time for us to take out the trash, we
- 13:01still were going to do that because we protect that five star Airbnb rating.
- 13:07The thing that we roll the dice on with that five star rating is if
- 13:13they decide to look in the trash to see what we disposed of, because
- 13:18if they did, they might have questions. And I do tend to think
- 13:22that if the airbnb host feels the need to call the police to investigate the
- 13:28items that we've just thrown away that might in fact hurt our five star Airbnb
- 13:31rating. For example, this last week, when we stayed on Saint Thomas
- 13:37for an event, we took out the trash and three main things were in
- 13:39the trash. Okay, okay, one hundred foot cat five, ethernet cable,
- 13:46eggs and zip ties. Ethernet cable, eggs, zip ties. This
- 13:54is not a setup for a you know, karnak bit. It sounds like
- 14:00it, but it's not. I mean, that was just actually what was
- 14:01in our trash. So we're hoping I think at this point we're in the
- 14:07clear. I think we already got our five stars. But I'm assuming that's
- 14:11because they didn't sift through the garbage, because I'll admit that's a suspicious refuse.
- 14:20Like what do you what would you glean if if you were the Airbnb
- 14:24person, what would you glean that just happened when you get eggs, zip
- 14:28ties and Ethernet cable. So if I'm the Airbnb host and I see those
- 14:33three items in my trash, I'm going to assume that they use the ethernet
- 14:37cable to hunt down a victim and thought that by disposing of the ethernet cable.
- 14:41It erased all the all the data of the research in finding the victim,
- 14:46and then the zip ties were to tie up the victim right, and
- 14:48then the eggs was just because they made an omelet again. Now I'm going
- 14:54to go back to why I think white people airbnb is you just associated all
- 15:01of that with murder. You know, I'm sorry, But whenever there are
- 15:07a number of zip ties anywhere, in large quantities, that's most people's assumptions,
- 15:15Like with this happened the other day when we were at the hardware store
- 15:18buying those zip ties because Tara's buying multiple bags of the really large zip ties.
- 15:26Even the guy at the hardware store is like, uh, why do
- 15:31you need so many zip ties, to which we immediately responded event planner,
- 15:35and he's like okay, but he was still kind of suspicious, so even
- 15:39I had to tell him, Look, there's there's there's two professions in which
- 15:43someone needs an inordinate amount of zip ties, event planning and murdering or the
- 15:48third. I mean, you could give the guy a wink and hand him
- 15:50your only dance card and you're never gonna let that punchline gore. Ever,
- 16:00it's just zipline to the treehouse trunk. Isn't it a hard zip tire around
- 16:08the whole damn treehouse trunk with a little sign with a little sign and a
- 16:15QR code in case people walk by for my only day. I just assume
- 16:21the eggs is to get like kind of like baby oiled up, like you
- 16:23just cracked the egg open and try to get out of the zip tie.
- 16:26I wouldn't assume that you just cooked it for your victims. And it was
- 16:30like, I'm gonna kill you put these zip ties on. How do you
- 16:33like your omelet? That's a very white way to murder. It's like I'm
- 16:40gonna make you a Denver omelet and then we're gonna fucking kill you. Well,
- 16:45you could go extra and be like, well you're but you're the you're
- 16:48the protein in the omelet. Oh no, that's too far. Oh yeah,

- 19:18If you are watching, I appreciate that. If you're listening, also appreciate
- 19:23it. But specifically, if you're watching over my shoulder, you may see
- 19:26the television behind me, which is currently on the internet. Some people don't
- 19:30realize you can actually use the Internet on your television. It's pain and the
- 19:33ass for most people, but it's there. Anyway, over my shoulder,
- 19:36you can actually see the very new Treehouse on Air dot com website. It's
- 19:41very handy, it's very flashy. Right there on the home page is a
- 19:45player that you can immediately start listening to the latest episode of the show makes

- 19:52also to share it with a friend. So we would appreciate you doing that
- 19:56treehouse on air dot com And if you don't want to listen on that player
- 20:00right there, there's a whole bunch of little icons beneath it of all the
- 20:03places that you can listen to the show, including the Big three, Spotify,
- 20:07Apple, and iHeart. So do all those things listen to the show?
- 20:14Share it? We appreciate it now. I posted the other day.
- 20:22I'm not sure if you guys saw this, but our group chat between me,
- 20:29You, Trey, and EU Raj is entertaining. It's a show within
- 20:33a show, just in text form, right. And so the reason why
- 20:41I bring this up is because the other day before even we were talking about
- 20:47my Bruce Lee Gift and Trey with jokes because my power was out, and
- 20:52he sends a YouTube link to the song I Have the Power by Snap.
- 21:00Before all that exchange happened was one night I can't remember if it was you,
- 21:06Trey or U Raj in our group text had taken a screenshot of your
- 21:11television to a little program on one of the ESPN channels called slippery Stairs.
- 21:18That was me, I thought, so. So I purposely did not click
- 21:26on this one because I thought, let me bring it up on the show
- 21:29and maybe be and maybe have a genuine reaction to it. And two because
- 21:33I didn't want to get sucked into what I thought was you pulling a hose
- 21:37job on being rag trying to convince us that something as stupid as slippery Stairs
- 21:42was actually airing on ESPN. So that's where I am currently. Is it
- 21:51real? It is? It's uh, you know when they do the Oh
- 21:56show that uh they come up with new and and and inventive things and and
- 22:03I'm embarrassed to say that. I actually I watched about five minutes of slippery
- 22:11Stairs. And it's your fault, Tray, it is your fault. We
- 22:15can no longer have good ESPN shows and or talent. They keep laying them
- 22:19off because they're so talented, and they're clouding the air waves for things like
- 22:26slippery Stairs. Yeah, and when one of the guys said, you know,
- 22:34you know, he'd been training for this his whole life because he lives
- 22:38a three story house. Did he underestimate his opponent because the the guy that
- 22:48walks out says, well, I grew up in a three story house with
- 22:53a basement, so I and an attic. I don't know how you get
- 23:06that gig right, Like, how do you get like the color commentary for
- 23:11slipper stairs? Yeah, because typically the color commentator is the person that has
- 23:15played the sport correct and knows a lot about the sport, so you can
- 23:21then give that essential commentary to those of us that are less familiar with the
- 23:26sport we're watching. First of all, let me say, Roger, I'm
- 23:33disappointed you missed this one. Slippery stairs is a wider sport than mountain climbing.
- 23:42I don't know, it sounds a little Japanese game showy. It kind
- 23:47of does right up there with that mx P or whatever the show was,
- 23:51where you'd have you'd have three doors or four doors, and you know one
- 23:56or two of them. Actually, I think if you had, like if
- 24:00you had three doors in front of you, you had to pick which one
- 24:03to run through at full speed, two of them had paper and one of
- 24:07them had like a brick wall behind it. I think if it was a
- 24:10Japanese show, that the difference is they be throwing things down the stairs at
- 24:12you. Oh, this is a white show, so they give you a
- 24:17chance. This just needed a marshmallow sponsorship. This is brought to you by
- 24:30Swiss miss u ra Should you ever watch the brown it can't be sponsored by
- 24:41Coco Raj. Did you ever watch the show wipe Out and think why didn't
- 24:48they just call it white out again? You walk? You help me with
- 24:53this so much. I appreciate that you do this because I've had listeners go,
- 24:57you do a lot of race stuff, and I'm like, you,
- 25:00guys, do I don't we serve it up? Wipe Out is a white
- 25:06persons sport or whatever that it's a white person show. Uh. I love
- 25:11that show. Yeah, of course you do, just like you like staying
- 25:15in airbnbs, Like it's the same thing. There's the same level of like
- 25:21of extreme possibility, Like you can you can be on wipe Out and get
- 25:26hit by whatever that wand thing is, or you can stay in Airbnb and
- 25:30get hit by one of those wan things whatever that is. Like well,
- 25:36I mean, look, wipe Out is just American ninja without any of the
- 25:40possibility of winning, yes, or a ninja. Just just call it American
- 25:47people falling down that's what slippery stairs is. Thank you for bringing it back
- 25:52to slippery stairs. So Trey slippery stairs? Is it a sport? Or
- 25:59is it? How do you win slippery stairs? I'm pretty sure I got
- 26:04the handle on how you lose. You get to the top of the stairs.
- 26:10So it's very slippery, so it looks like an oil pig. Okay,
- 26:21that's another. I think that's another white sport or or like you know,
- 26:26they just everyone took a bath in k Y and then tried to,
- 26:30you know, climb the stairs. So it's King of the Mountain with lube,
- 26:36yeah and stairs. Okay, it's astroblied with stairs. That's that's what
- 26:44it is. I mean, it's I mean, we just rattled off a
- 26:48handful of really obvious sponsorship opportunities that if ESPN is not taking advantage of their
- 26:53people need to be fired. I don't know how, I mean, I
- 26:56mean, how do you not have the astro glide to hundred? I don't
- 27:02know how cornhole isn't sponsored by stroke. Look, there's a very there's a
- 27:08very popular spot on Saint Thomas, very historic called ninety nine Steps. They
- 27:14could do this like Grand Prix does, like the F one does and go
- 27:18around different famous steps around the world. The Great Wall of China, Hello,
- 27:23and Astroglide missed out on cornhole because Johnsonville wanted got their meat sponsorship.
- 27:33Explain explain bushes baked beans. I don't know how that works with cornhole,
- 27:37but they seemed to sponsored. Also, I'll tell you why, Raj,
- 27:41because the cornhole board is very reminiscent of a port. I mean that's where
- 27:48if you eat enough bushes baked beans, you're going to squad over the corn
- 27:52hole. Yes, that makes sense. Now, Meanwhile, Johnsonville saw a
- 27:57hole, figured there braught wars would be perfect to fit it, and there
- 28:03was no lub like, hey we need to lube up this brought to put
- 28:07it in. I don't know. I just know that there's a guy that
- 28:11plays cornhole that has no arms. And if you can do that sport and
- 28:18he's sponsored, I'm like, if, okay, that's that's white people sport.
- 28:23Do you have no arms? Somehow I have missed somehow I have missed
- 28:27the stump man. You have the internet behind you on your TV just very
- 28:33quickly, so there is a stump man that is professional. Yes, in
- 28:40the cornhole league. I've told you guys before that Arnold Schwarzenegger's bastard son is
- 28:47also pro in that len Is he really? Yeah? Wow, Okay,
- 28:56that's you know, the one that looks like really looks like Arnold. Yeah,
- 29:02he's the one that looks exactly like Arnold Schwarzeneger got it on with his
- 29:04homely maid and instead of getting into the family business of either politics from the
- 29:14Kennedy's, well, no, he couldn't do politics on the Kennedy side because
- 29:17that wasn't his mom. Uh instead of getting into the movie business or I
- 29:22guess he could have done politics. And that's what you know Arnold did you
- 29:25know was governor of California? Uh so, and so instead he's he's blazing
- 29:29his own path to corn start them and you can check your check your phones.
- 29:37Oh good, we're adding more fun to our group chat quadruple Amputee and
- 29:44acl pro. Dayton Weber is an unstoppable cornhole player. I give up.
- 29:48I just he is unstoppable, guys? Is he unstoppable? Really? He's
- 29:56very stoppable. I can speak of it. I think you know what,
- 30:00how good would he be on Slippery Stairs? He wins? You know that
- 30:11he'd be the best in that too, wouldn't he It's hard to slip on
- 30:17slippery stairs if you got no letters. I don't know how you get to
- 30:22the top with no arms, But god damn, I'd watch it's a lot
- 30:26of gumption, Raj the determinations alone. I would watch that man try to
- 30:33goli. Well, let's see. It's either a lot of determination or you
- 30:36get Arnold schwartzen Anger's bastard son to put you in a papoose and the baby
- 30:45born take you to the top, so you both foll okay, Yeah,
- 30:52yeah, it's very much a you go, we go situation. Roger,

- 32:07do. I don't typically do it for homeowners, but I have in the
- 32:12past done classes for investors. So there's an investor. It's a group and
- 32:20it's called Oh God, what are the LifeStyle's Unlimited and they're out of Irving
- 32:23and they teach people, not millionaires, not by any means, but they
- 32:27teach the average Joe how to invest in real estate. And then we do
- 32:30what we call essentially road trips, where they bring out contractors on site to
- 32:36talk about things that you should keep an eye on and think about when you're
- 32:38buying something, to renovate it, to build equity. And so I talked
- 32:44to them. But I've got two classes coming up later this month. On
- 32:46Tuesday next week, they're onboarding a bunch of new insurance adjusters at one of
- 32:52the larger insurance firms that works here in Texas, and they want those adjusters
- 32:57to understand the functionality of plumbing from claims perspective. So I'm gonna teach I
- 33:00call it plumbing one on one for adjusters, and then I'm teaching a class
- 33:06for a bunch of Briggs, Freeman and sotherby realtors talking about what buyers and
- 33:10sellers need to be thinking out about from a perspective when it comes to homes.

- 33:42the Treehouse listen us online at Treehouseonair dot com. This segment of the tree
- 33:49House is brought to us by Brooks Plumbing, which is a good thing because
- 33:54usually this show is for the for you, the listener, to enjoy,
- 33:58leave your warriors outside and let us, you know, make your day a
- 34:00little bit better by dipping our toes and the big pool of stupid. Instead,
- 34:06we have jumped all in, We've belly flopped right into the middle of
- 34:09it. And it's less about the enjoyment of the listener today and more for
- 34:14the enjoyment of Raj and Trey. So this segment of the show brought to
- 34:17us by Brooks Plumbing. Let me get this out, Trey uh six eight
- 34:22thirty eight thirty eight two one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight huttub
- 34:25Brash and the website Brooks Plumbing, Texas for any and all of your plumbing
- 34:30wants and needs, especially if you know you have a hard time wrenching and
- 34:37tightening and loosening things yourself because you have no opiniages because you're a stump person.
- 34:42As I say, we damn sure didn't swan dive into this. What's
- 34:45the what's the Rodney Dangerfield movie? It's the triple of the Triple Lindy that
- 34:52is back to School. It's a quadruple or like Pong. Yeah, I
- 35:07believe if there is a video game character that quadruple amputee professional cornhole player Dayton
- 35:15Weber resembles the most, it's Pong, Definitely. He's kind of cubridish.
- 35:24Hubert's got legs. Sonic has arms and legs, although when he goes really
- 35:36fast, he's just rolling. So Trey, I get that. Tell everybody
- 35:43what we're doing. Oh, trust me, they know they know that if
- 35:47they've already made it into the third segment of this show, they know what
- 35:51happened in the second. They know we're talking about Stumpy. I'm sorry,
- 35:53Dayton Weber, the professional cornhole player that I didn't even know existed. And
- 35:59look, I didn't know until you know, I don't know about twenty minutes
- 36:02or so ago, that there was a sport I'm going to use that term
- 36:06loosely called slippery Stairs airing on one of the ESPN channels, which further which
- 36:15gives us more evidence as to the theory that life truly does seem to imitate
- 36:20art, because all the way back in Dodgeball, the movie it would Dodgeball,
- 36:25the Dodgeball tournament taking place in Vegas was happening on ESPN and The O
- 36:30Show. And now it really feels like ESPN watched that movie and said,
- 36:35man, that's a good idea for a channel, and now they're doing it.
- 36:37Except it's not being, you know, shown all the way down on
- 36:43ESPN The Oh Show. It's actually up on one of the top three channels
- 36:45of ESPN. It might be it's probably on after pardon the interruption, slippery
- 36:52Stairs into around the Horn Hard in the interruption followed by professional Cornhole. It's
- 37:00the new ESPN. I just I just think the whole background of Cornple was
- 37:07this guy's make a wish, give him one thing that he can win,
- 37:13the guy with no arms and no legs, the champion. The champion told
- 37:17him his secrets, and then oh shit, he's gonna live Johnsonville. You
- 37:32know, it seems like we're all going to be going to hell, and
- 37:37clearly Hell is full of slippery stairs. Let's just let's just embrace it,
- 37:44or as or as Dayton Weber does with everything, lean into it. So
- 37:51I am now going to go over to share screen mode and take a look
- 37:54at this video that Trey sent us on YouTube, and that is very aptly
- 38:01titled Quadruple Amputee and acl pro Dayton Weber is unstoppable. Okay, you know,
- 38:20up until that line right there, tre I thought, you know what,
- 38:24we should extend an invitation for mister Webber to come on the show and
- 38:30talk to us about his journey. You can't be that far. But now
- 38:37I'm pretty sure that opportunity is gone away. Okay, I just want to
- 38:45watch I just want people to watch this. I'm afraid to watch this because
- 38:50I'm afraid you two are gonna silence my microbuck. Don't you dare you leave
- 38:57that thing on? All right, so here we go. Let's watch this
- 39:00quadruple amputee and ACL pro Dayton Weber is unstoppable. One minute of gameplay the
- 39:08All Cornhole Tournament. It looks like sponsored by Johnsonville. All right, So
- 39:13there he is. He's got his jersey on. It looks like okay,
- 39:15yeah, so he's definitely a quadruple amputee. He's got he does have two
- 39:20arms, but they're both looking to be amputated around the elbow and legs also
- 39:25amputated what looks to be upper thigh. So okay, here we go for
- 39:32years. There he goes one cost. He's already better than I am.
- 39:38He put his two elbow stumps together with the bean bag and tossed it right
- 39:45into the ACL red zone on the Johnsonville brought board, and he's cocky about
- 39:52it. He goes right in the hole and he's smiling. He's like,
- 39:55yeah, right, right, he's mostly cocky, Dan, Well, you
- 40:04gotta go with what's left for years. Right in the hole, his competitor
- 40:15next to him with two arms and two legs, missus, a couple of
- 40:22outs of the right can date whoever take advantage your back to gona be good.
- 40:25Second toss. Dayton Weber's back in the hole and he's he's making the
- 40:30face you make when you're really really good at something, like you purse your
- 40:32lips like you're like, yeah, take that. Meanwhile, his competitor now
- 40:39has to has to actually walk back into position. He's up four points in
- 40:44the round out for two bags from each. Your competitor steps up. He
- 40:50tosses, and it does not go in the hole. Before he's got a
- 40:55lot of room to work with. Dayton Webber up right in the hole again.
- 41:02Now the competitor and this next throw he gets one. All right,
- 41:15it is It is pretty cool when you're trying to hype up the crowd and
- 41:19you do the arms like everybody makes some boys type of thing and yeah,
- 41:23they responded, it's not like you needed all the arms to get them to
- 41:28cheer. Instead of finger guns, he gives them elbow guns. Finger guns.
- 41:39I think I could still do it if he would like, instead of
- 41:43finger guns, if he would blow out both stumps like yeah, yeah,
- 41:49it's like you know what it's instead of finger guns. It's more like stumpy
- 41:52muskets. But I'm with you. I think you absolutely go that route like
- 42:02I would if I was, Yeah, I'd on him like, yeah,
- 42:07I see what I did there, because it's it really is rubbing rubbing salt
- 42:10in the wound of your competitor that's got two arms and two legs that you
- 42:14just kicked the everleven crap out of. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
- 42:17I as that the other guy. I don't know how you like he's so
- 42:23good, like he really kicked him. Yeah, if if if you're dating
- 42:37Weber, are you insulted if the competitor reaches his hand out to shake you
- 42:40to say good game, and then says, man, you really kicked the
- 42:43ship out of me. I would just I would just put my hand up
- 42:49like a high five. But I don't think it matters because then this guy
- 42:52can then roll away, uh to the trophy presentation and then take the check
- 42:58for all the money he just by beating your ass in professional corn hole?
- 43:02Okay, how much money? And how much money is he winning? Do
- 43:08we know? Look they're on TV. They got sponsors, multiple sponsors.
- 43:15Okay, I just want to I mean, I don't know what his I
- 43:20don't know what his actual winnings are, but I bet he's also got some
- 43:22personal sponsorship opportunities there. I'd also like to point out, as I'm about
- 43:28to type into Google, I just on MSN just got a thing for a
- 43:31pop up for a Dodgeball movie thing. So the internet's listening in real time.
- 43:37Uh huh. I just uh collect the checks, he just can't endorse
- 43:42them. The ACL Pro division will be the only skill level within the ACL
- 43:58that will have a guarantee prize pool. The minimum ACL Pro guaranteed prize pool
- 44:06is one million dollars spread across all ACL Pro events, doubled from twenty twenty
- 44:12one to twenty twenty four. So the people also ask how much do ACL
- 44:20Pro players make? According to the twenty twenty three money list, only one
- 44:23ACL Pro earned more than that. Only fourteen ACL pros earned more than thirty
- 44:29thousand dollars. Only about thirty of those pros earned more than someone working a
- 44:34full time minimum wage job. The average cornhole earnings of the ACL pros on
- 44:38the list was a little over seven thousand dollars. Man, that dude is
- 44:44doing that for seven grand, Although it does say here for the twenty twenty
- 44:51one ACL World Championships, there will be a guaranteed minimum payout of one hundred
- 44:55and fifty thousand dollars. That's one. Sure, it's it's balloon since then
- 45:07ballooned a win for the balloon joke. I am too. You just can't
- 45:16tie it to that guy. There it is, you found it, okay,
- 45:28yeah, so, I mean it's one Trey. What do you think
- 45:31is more difficult to find that punchline or Dayton Weber in a ballpit. You're
- 45:45you're going straight to hell for that one. I don't know where the fucking
- 45:50your brain that came out of. I'm so proud of you, a very
- 45:55very dark I'll tell you this though, You'll never look at a ball bit
- 46:02the same way again. Good luck the next time you're a chucky cheese,
- 46:10you gotta be careful on those. You know what you should do, because
- 46:14this means now you've got to tell your kids when you go to chuck e
- 46:15cheese before they get in the ball bit. You have to tell them to
- 46:19watch out for this scary date and Weber in there. It's the best episode
- 46:30ever. I bet Date Weber disagrees. We will see you next time inside
- 46:37the tree house, unless we all go down the slip slippery stairs of death
- 46:40to Hell. I've been doing it
