Friday #18 | 2023 Year In Review Part 1 · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:25
Welcome inside the Treehouse. It is the Friday after Christmas, but right before
0:31
New Year's. Yeah, it's a dead week Friday. Don't know why I've
0:37
always referred to this week as a dead week, but oh wait, yeah
0:39
I do. It's because all the businesses and so many things kind of go
0:44
dark during this week. Like if you're stuck at work, no one wants
0:48
to be there and you're just there physically because you have to, but mentally
0:51
you're totally checked out. You're thinking about other stuff. Nothing actually gets done
0:57
on this week. I mean, is there ever in the history of Man
0:59
ever been a major merger, acquisition or a business deal that happened between Christmas
1:04
and New Year's Uh? In India, I'm gonna go yes, Okay,
1:10
yeah, maybe there, but but not in Waspy America, No, North
1:17
America, Europe solid mm hmmm, Southeast Asia, Asia mergers happening, business
1:23
as usual. If anything, it might ramp up because then the Westerners are
1:27
sleeping on it. That's exactly they get a good deal. This is their
1:30
Black Friday. Yeah. Well, welcome those of you South Asians who were
1:38
watching and or listening to The Treehouse podcast on your Black Friday. Congratulations.
1:44
I hope you hope it. I hope it's fruitful for you, and I
1:48
hope it's a positive event for you, unlike apparently what happened to Raj last
1:55
night. Yeah, uh, buddy, okay, I feel I feel solid.
2:04
Well. I think that's due to something called cyclo benza prime Trey.
2:10
You're an amateur pharmacology, pharmacological analysis. Please have that particular medicine. Uh
2:19
any Benzo's you know, Raj is feeling no pain Anzo. I bet I
2:25
could get Raj to like Abba right now. Oh, I'm a fan of
2:30
dancing Quean Buddy write a miracle. I'm telling you they're a highly underrated band.
2:38
That was really easy, Drey, good job. No, they still
2:40
suck even on even on muscles. Uh. Yeah, we still have to
2:46
get We still have to have a therapy session and figure out what happened with
2:49
you and Abba. Uh no, so as you can see, uh broken
2:53
hand, Yeah, you got a what is that an ace bandage around your
2:57
hand there? It's just uh so it's the so where it kind of broke
3:01
is the top here, So it's not it doesn't keep me from doing this.
3:07
It it's like a punchers fracture. Yeah, well it's actually below that,
3:10
because I actually have a puncher's fracture on this pinky, but it's like
3:15
directly below it. So so what happened. You got into a wreck and
3:19
then punched the person that ran into you. No, I would have I
3:23
would never have done that. But I was just I've been driving thirty two
3:28
years, never been in a car accident. And I was going down Frankfurt
3:31
and got to the intersection of Preston and saw the green light and the red
3:39
arrow saying that the people in the turnline couldn't turn, and I just was
3:44
going on through on my way home. Oh and then that music started playing
3:52
in my head. I was just going through the intersection, and this lady
3:57
apparently cut somebody else off to run the red light. And I think they
4:04
I was doing because speaking is forty, so I think I was doing like
4:08
thirty eight. It's a twenty twelve JEP Patriot. I wasn't. I wasn't
4:12
up to forty yet. Yeah, it wasn't downhill, so I think I
4:17
hit her about thirty seven miles an hour. Like I don't say that.
4:20
You were trying to go straight through the intersection, and even though she had
4:24
red arrows on a left turn, she decided to like come around your right
4:30
and turn in front of you. Yeah, she came across from me,
4:32
so wow, and she had she had the red arrows for a hot second
4:38
like, oh wait, I'm sorry. She was coming oncoming towards you.
4:42
So if I'm going straight down, she cut this way like she was going
4:46
directly, Like she hit me so hard that well, I hit her and
4:50
it just moved the cheap So it was one of those things that I mean,
4:56
I was diswarned, like the airbags deployed, and that was frightening,
4:59
and I just kept asking if she was okay. And then this guy,
5:02
this guy who looked like a really fit Santa but still bald, oh,
5:09
came up and it was like don't move, don't move, and I'm like
5:13
I'm not moving, man, I'm not moving. And then I felt something
5:15
wet go down my leg on my leg, and I'm like, oh,
5:18
man, either I have a compound fracture or a peede myself, uh,
5:24
which was uh died coke. It was a die coke in the console.
5:29
Did I see that coming? But are we talking about like the rock in
5:32
a Santa outfit or uh no, uh no, that was not not not
5:38
that sexy of a Sanna No, talk about like a five foot five but
5:43
fit but had the the beginnings of the beard, uh glasses, the bulky
5:48
red sweater. I was like, oh this is this is not So it's
5:53
sort of like either bodybuilder Santa or CrossFit Santa. Yeah, definitely CrossFit Santa.
5:59
Our bald tom cruse Santa. Yes, but without the chunky hands because
6:03
he was like pride open the door. But yeah, the lady admitted she
6:08
was like I was confused. I'm like, and I kind of joked with
6:10
the police. I was like confused with green light, red light. I'm
6:15
like, I know it's around Christmas and like those colors can be confusing.
6:19
But yeah, she totally admitted like she ran the red light and she read
6:25
it by a mile. I mean she cut a person off to run it
6:29
and then claimed to be confused. So was she like, actually, not
6:31
only did she run the red light, but was she almost like turning out
6:34
of the wrong lane. Yes, that's yeah, you need to own her.
6:48
I was just more concerned that she was okay, like I don't know,
6:51
Like I just kept and I kept asking him, like is that the
6:55
light was green. Right, the light was green, And this guy knocked
6:58
on the ambulance and he's like, and I saw the whole thing. She
7:00
cut me off, and it's the guy that she cut off. Was like,
7:04
and he goes, I'm in insurance, so I had to stop and
7:08
give you this information. I was like, oh, thank you so much.
7:13
But yeah, the then we the paramedics. Now those guys, I
7:17
think there's a prerequisite between Addison and Dallas County that they all have to be
7:23
stupid good looking like it was. It was just unfair, Like I'm just
7:28
sitting there gonna make that Buddy Daniel, who's a paramedic in Terren County,
7:31
extremely jealous. Yeah. I mean one guy was from LA. I'm like,
7:36
what are you doing? Here? Is a gut hired by Dallas.
7:39
I'm like, of course you did you send a headshot in what do you
7:42
Yeah? They don't bother asking if you know how to how to run an
7:44
ivy or you know, do any actual trauma work. They just got like,
7:48
look at that smile, man, we need him is in our fleet.
7:51
I mean, I'm not gonna like crystal blue eyes was like, come
7:56
on, buddy, what are you doing and he's like, hey, man,
7:58
I'm just glad you're okay. I'm look, I'm glad you're okay.
8:03
I think this car returned to Gate. But I'm just saying you're a fellow.
8:07
Well, congratulations, Roger. I mean, it's you playing football in
8:11
high school. You saw Jesus after you got hit really hard, and now
8:13
you're getting your first car accident, and and you and you've seen an angel.
8:18
He was he was just living a Hallmark movie. I came back to
8:26
my hometown and got in an accident. Yeah, yeah you did. And
8:30
you fell in love in the most unexpected place, yeah, the most unexpected.
8:35
Man. Does Hallmark have a gay channel? It's okay, that makes
8:43
sense, But it's always funny when they're like, can you give me we
8:48
have to send like the police report to your email address, and I'm like,
8:50
here's my email address. It's comedian Roger. You know. I was
8:52
like, I'm gonna go out on a limb. Here are you a comedian?
8:56
I'm like, you know, I do have a show coming up January
8:58
twenty fifty. Probably. Well, and when I say that, everybody turned
9:01
around that we'll be there. I'm like, that's a lot of comps.
9:03
There's a lot of people here, and now I'm like, I have to
9:07
because these guys kind of save them a life, So I feel obligated to
9:11
have and please come twenty fifth because I think four out of the twelve months
9:16
of the calendar are going to be at that show. Whatever the police firefighter
9:20
calendar is. Oh yeah, they're they're they're gonna be there far shorter than
9:26
I thought, but they're very fit. I'd be I'd be curious though,
9:30
if instead of comedian, had you told them like if it was uh a
9:35
Raj at Treehouse on air dot com, Well what do you do? Well,
9:39
I'm a podcaster, and then instead of them flocking to you, they
9:43
all scatter. They just open the doors push you out back. I did
9:50
have a dumb moment though, and I will say this and we could be
9:52
done with it. But as we're going to the hospital, I'm like,
9:56
who's who's behind us? And I'm like, what do you mean to these
10:00
sirens? Who's behind us? Like? Uh, the sirens are us?
10:05
I was like, my bad, I forgot ambulance. Yeah? Or did
10:09
they did they give you the official concussion diagnosis? Or am I just doing
10:11
it right now? You're doing it right now. They said, uh,
10:15
they didn't say concussed, they said, uh, highly disoriented. I was
10:18
like, I think I'm pretty sure that by NFL terms, that gets you
10:22
in the blue tent and you're questionable to return. No, I'm like to
10:26
hug you who got popped and then came back into the game. You're just
10:31
throwing balls left and right like the football players I do football good. Listen
10:39
to my podcast Raja we make the stupid dot com. You're in the tree
10:52
house. Visit us online a treehouse on air dot com. Eight three to
11:01
three Cook dfw' is the phone number to reach Daniel Cook from Cook df W
11:05
Roofing and Restoration to get your free roof inspection. The good thing about a
11:09
roofing business, Daniel, is you really don't have to force analysis paralysis on
11:15
your customers, right because you come out, they think they have a problem
11:18
with the roof, and you fix the roof. It's pretty simple, very
11:20
straightforward. But I wanted to throw this at you. I saw a news
11:22
story that gen Z is apparently terrified least some of them are about going out
11:28
to eat because they have to make such a huge choice of what to eat
11:33
for dinner and possibly the scariest part of all, they have to interact with
11:37
a person, the waiter. The problems that we have got ourselves into in
11:46
the world, Wow, I mean, who knows. I mean, growing
11:52
up, we didn't have an idea of not communicating with each other and not
11:58
talking to each other. I mean, it was just what you You've learned
12:01
it so young, it was ingrained into you. And so now for these
12:05
generations that have been so and I can't say it's about video games and everybody
12:09
complains about people playing video games all the time and people, you know,
12:13
not getting out and talking to people is the reason why, I don't know,
12:16
I think it has more to do with that. But for food though,
12:18
come on, now, you get hungry, you know, you don't
12:22
want to eat the same stuff all the time. You just want to go
12:24
out and pick a new stuff. That's the part of life that's so fun
12:26
is the adventure of trying new stuff and getting to see new things, and
12:31
when you travel, eating stuff that you can't have at home. And I
12:35
mean, I couldn't imagine being afraid to go out to a restaurant because I
12:39
didn't want to interact with people that just I can't. That blows my mind
12:41
right now. I'm just I'm with you. I'm with you. And the
12:45
good news is is I know that that your daughters, they're part of that.
12:48
I believe gen z encompasses at least one of them at least seventeen year
12:54
old, and I'm probably your oldest one, who's twenty three. Yeah,
12:58
so I like to think that they're capable of such things. Yeah. No,
13:01
they enjoy going out. A matter of fact, my oldest is out
13:05
in downtown Dallas all the time interacting with people. I mean, she'sus social
13:09
butterfly. And then my youngest is same way. I mean, she walks
13:13
up to people all the time and just starts talking. And I love that
13:16
about them. I mean it's just like you know, they don't meet strangers,
13:20
and sometimes it's a bad thing, but for the most part, I
13:24
mean, yeah, no, I think it's good for people to go out
13:26
and try new things and have a good time. And I hope that I
13:28
hope somehow we get away from that. I hope somehow that they change their
13:33
gears and we figure out how to make these generations better, you know,
13:37
before us or after us. You know, I just well, it sounds
13:41
like your daughters are sort of leading the way. Maybe they'll take some of
13:43
these closeted gen z ers who are afraid to go out to eat, and
13:46
they'll they'll take them out and help them, help them along and into this
13:48
big, bright, scary world, just like Daniel Cook will do for you
13:54
and your roof. Bring it out into the big bright, scary world and
13:56
make it all better. Eight three three Cook DFW for that free roof inspection

15:56
I mean that knows down over time, I'm good. It's just annoying.
16:02
Like it's like when you get a like Dan, I don't think you
16:04
have any Do you have tattoos? Dan? I got one? Oh yeah,
16:07
So it's like you've never hit that spot until you get a tattoo,
16:11
Like you've never nobody's ever like grabbed you by the arm or hit you or
16:15
whatever. So it's the same thing. Like I kept bumping my hand into
16:18
things and I'm like, ah, right, okay, this is annoying.
16:21
So they put the little extra padding on the thing and then I'm like,
16:25
I'm good, and they gave me a whole thing of muscle actions. I'm
16:27
like, you guys are awesome. I don't want to be I don't want
16:33
to be on the corner of the tollway and Frankfort like, I'll do whatever
16:36
you need for some muscle reaction. I was gonna say, I used to
16:41
know a guy that would write your prescription, but that got him into turns
16:48
out that's not a good or legal thing to do. And well, Merry
16:55
Christmas to him in prison. Oh, speaking of sex, we're doing a
17:10
couple of shows in this dead week one because we want to it keeps,
17:15
you know, cause they say like idle hands or work of the devil,
17:18
or whatever the hell the saying is. It's like, we like to stay
17:21
busy within reason, and we want to give give you and the treehouse something
17:25
fun to do over the dead week and something to look forward to. So
17:30
all we decided to do was look around and scour the treehouse floor and look
17:37
for some things like news stories or various you know, content pieces, whatever
17:41
it is that we had planned for previous in the year, but we just
17:44
never got around to it because other things, you know, took precedence.
17:48
So there are some things that we'd like to now share with you before the
17:53
end of the year when they sort of expire. And one of those,
17:59
and I'm surprise we didn't get to this in a timely fashion, one of
18:03
those is, according to the website Clips, the number four sale clips for
18:11
sale dot com. What the what the top fetishes of twenty twenty three were.
18:18
Okay, yeah, I didn't know they changed by year, but all
18:23
right, well, I mean tastes change, you know, from year to
18:27
year. Some people maybe from month to month or minute to minute. But
18:30
in this case, they decided to put together all their big searches for the
18:37
year and break them up, you know, by you know, various categories.
18:42
And it turns out the most popular fetish of twenty twenty three giant test
18:49
porn. What yeah, giant test giant s giant s so big women?
19:00
Okay, yeah, like like the fifty foot tall woman like that movie.
19:06
But yeah. Clips for Sale just posted their top searches of twenty twenty three
19:10
and number one the top kink Giant test porn. Giant porn basically, now,
19:15
I actually say this doesn't it's not just tall. What they do is
19:19
they use you know, camera tricks and angles and other effects to create the
19:26
illusion that someone is a giant. Okay, and I guess the smaller person
19:30
is crawling around on top of them or something. I I, for one,
19:33
I typically like to research my news topics very thoroughly. This is one
19:40
I thought, you know, it's better. I don't. I think.
19:41
I think the imagination will suffice here. You know, is this why you
19:47
bought those hul cans for your hand site? Busted, I'm busted. Giant
19:59
porn in India's anybody over five to five. So, according to the website,
20:07
giant test porn was their top search in the United States. But not
20:11
limited to the United States. It was also the Tope in Australia, Mexico,
20:17
and the fetish experts in Japan. We just lost him, lost it.
20:22
They even decided to post a map. Hey Dan, I do love
20:26
a good map. They posted a map of the search fetishes for the year.
20:33
And if you're curious, I don't think this is one of the nineteen
20:37
states leading the charge for giant porn. Can you can you hear us?
20:48
Can you hear me? Trey? I can hear you can hear me?
20:49
He can't hear it. He can't hear us. He looks like he's looking
20:55
around the corner. Can can you hear us? Whatddy? We can edit
21:08
this right, hey roj Yeah, laugh. You're listening to the Treehouse one
21:30

22:03
stay home. Fiance is on call. It's his on call that weekend,
22:07
and if I can't go out with him, I don't really want to go

out without him. Now on New Year's not when you want to be with
22:12
your person. So we'll stay home. We'll watch movies, make dinner,
22:17
and just have a very relaxing evening. It's amazing how the older we get
22:21
the nicer. That sounds like. Hearing you describe that sounds like, oh,
22:23
that sounds really really good. Yeah, you still got the Christmas tree
22:29
up, so it's got a soft glow in the house of the lights in
22:30
the fireplace. And just stay warm. It's cold here. I don't like
22:34
the cold. I'm going to do that. Well, if you ever change
22:38
your mind on living in a cold place, you know, I know a
22:41
good spot. Just I'm just saying I do too. We're I would.
22:48
I would definitely relocate to Saint John. That's a beautiful island. And trust
22:52
me, there are plenty of plumbing projects that would need your attention if you
22:56
chose to go that route. As it is, you as you're staying busy
23:00

23:40
not bring me new Internet yet for the new year, so I'm I'm holding
23:44
out hope that maybe it'll be a late edition, like he'll swing back around
23:48
and be like, oh, I forgot Dan's house and you know, shoved
23:51
less talking. Uh, but uh, thank you for bailing me out there.
23:57
Gentlemen, there is another story that found its way to the floor of
24:03
the Treehouse that is essential that we bring up before it expires at the end
24:10
of the year, and that is the story that is truly terrifying. Typically
24:18
we deal with stupid. And I think in this case, this is something
24:22
that is so gruesome and glory and frightening that it kind of turns the corner
24:29
into stupid. Like it's it's so like a Dahmer would look at this and
24:33
go, that's fed up. Yeah, And I really don't think I'm I'm
24:38
you know, overstating it at all. So come right and and tell you
24:42
about this. Okay, you're ready, You're not a bloods covered, naked
24:51
New Jersey man was found on top of his mom's headless body. Okay,
25:00
you still think you're ready? No, No, you're noteless. I will
25:06
say this though, Trey, I know you have a complicated relationship with your
25:10
mother, so I'm really curious to know your thoughts on this particular story.
25:15
Clearly, what he did was wrong. There's a button there. I can
25:22
feel it. But I understand. I knew it. I knew it.
25:30
I knew it. Oh, I'll give you a little more detail here.
25:36
When police arrived to an apartment after receiving a call from a man claiming he
25:40
had just killed his mother, they found Jeffrey's surgeant naked and covered in blood
25:45
on top of the headless body of his mother. Look, he's forty six.
25:49
She was seventy four. He's charged with murder in connection with the death
25:53
of his mother. He called police around four pm on December eighth to tell
25:57
them he was bipolar and that he had just killed his mom. The line
26:00
remained open and said nothing more. Surveillance footage showed a head roll out of
26:07
the apartment at a high rate of speed and the head hit a wall enrolled
26:11
to where it was later found by police. So it sounds like a little
26:15
bit of a light bowling ensued after the murder. He could also be seen.
26:21
The suspect could also be seen peeking out of the apartment than pulling his
26:25
mother's body into the hallway. He was naked and laid on top of it.
26:30
And that's how police discovered him. Wow, that way. Police handcuffed
26:36
him, took him out of the building. He screamed over and over he
26:38
had killed his mom and that he was sorry, and then he began to
26:41
sing Jesus loves me. Yeah. Wow, that is a that's a lot.
26:49
That's a lot to take in, isn't it. And if you don't
26:55
think police deserve more money, this is the case where you're like, just
26:59
pay them what they're work because I love the it sounds weird, but the
27:06
you said had the bowling thing, I'm like, okay, well that just
27:10
a that sounds about right. Uh with this guy, that sounds about part
27:15
for the course. Uh. And this is one of those great examples.
27:19
That's the reason why I could not be a police officer, nor would I
27:22
want to be, because if I'm the responding officer, the first responding officer
27:26
on that scene. Yeah, I get to the top of the steps and
27:30
I see that dude laying there on top of the headland, and then and
27:33
then and the thing and the other thing and the bullet. Yeah, I'm
27:34
just gonna slowly back down the stairs, turn off my flashlight, put my
27:37
hand over my body cam, get back in the car, and I'm gonna
27:41
go to Denny's and say I saw nothing, dispatch and just wait for them
27:47
to pass them off to the next cour soul or you have your trustee,
27:53
you throw down he tossed it at him, shoot the guy, and just
27:57
go I'll wrapped up here. But we still go to Denny's for the grand
28:06
slam. Oh yeah, just make it sure. Well, he was naked,
28:11
so might as well get the moons over my hammi. Oh no,
28:18
no, I'm not saying no, but I'm not gonna say yes. See
28:33
again, this is one of those great examples where we can take a truly
28:37
horrific story and find some humor in it. Oh man, Yeah, let's
28:45
put that one back down on the floor of the treehouse and never discuss it
28:48
again, just like her head. I'm leaving you, Secrest Inns
