He Got Drunk and POOPED Himself?!Dating Disasters, Dishwasher Drama & Loctober Gone Wrong!
Is Gen Z willing to put up with more relationship nonsense than Gen X? After today's Reddit stories, we're starting to think so.
First, a woman asks if she's overreacting because her boyfriend got drunk and pooped his pants. Dan and Trey have some questions, starting with why she even needs to ask.
Then, another woman considers ending a relationship over a guy's complaints about not having a dishwasher. This one actually splits the room.
In Celebrity Birthdays, we somehow find ourselves debating Stephen A. Smith's place among the greatest sports commentators of all time. GOAT or fraud?
And finally, Loctober is here, and apparently keeping your partner happy has never been more important.
It's relationship drama, generational differences, ridiculous Reddit questions, and plenty of laughs on The Treehouse Show.

0:59 Sorry, I'm choking on my own water. It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh and choke with us here inside the Treehouse. Dan O'Malley along with Trey Trenholm. Thank you for being here at the start of a brand new week inside the Treehouse. Lots of exciting things to get to, not only this week, but also today. And I think we should start, Trey, where any smart journalist would start. You know how they say, like, on the news, if it bleeds, it leads? Yes. Well, if it shits, then... It hits. It hits, yes. If it shits, it hits. That's it, yeah. So that's where we are starting today, inside the treehouse. Am I overreacting? My boyfriend came home so drunk, he vomited and shit on the floor. No, you are not overreacting. I don't care. What follows through the remainder of this story? Nothing you do short of murder.
2:01 Maybe even murdering him may not be overreacting. I did a lot of embarrassing things in 25 years of alcoholism, but I never shat myself. Nor vomited on the floor. I can say that in some of my drunken exploits, I, too, have never shit on the floor, at least that no one's told me. I will say, though, there was one time where I thought the dirty clothes hamper was the bathroom, and I did go number one in it. Talk about putting the relationship to the test with my girlfriend, who's now my wife, so it's on her now.
2:47 I might have peed myself, but I never shat myself. It's a weird line, right? Like, yeah, sure. Peed myself plenty of times. Peed on some things. Maybe even accidentally on another person. But never shit on myself. Number one, we're kind of okay with. Number two, okay, now it's time for rehab. For context, she says, I'm a 25-year-old female. Work mornings in an office. And my boyfriend, who's 27, works nights as a bartender. So tonight I went to bed around 11, only to be woken up by a soaking wet man crawling over me at 3 a.m. I jerk awake. What are you doing? I hear my boyfriend's voice. Going to bed. I'm relieved that it's my boyfriend and not a random man, but still confused about the general wetness. Then I hear gagging, so I turn my phone flashlight on and see he's on his side, propped up on pillows and just drooling on his pillow. I have to pee, so I get up to go to the bathroom. I turn the light on And it's like someone exploded in there. Vomit, poop, towels, a jar of aquifer that's open, and various other bathroom objects, all just on the ground. I've never seen someone get so drunk they shit themselves before. So I start looking up alcohol poisoning syndrome. This is a sign of a good woman. When she's worried about you dying first, before dumping you, that's a sign of a good woman. She goes on to say, for the next two hours, I laid in bed next to him, monitoring his breathing and skin temperature, not knowing if I should take him to
4:18 the hospital. I'm pretty sure he's fine, but definitely going to feel like shit tomorrow. So is Aquifer a lotion? I don't know, Trey. I see it in the stores. I don't know if it's a moisturizing thing or if it's a makeup remover. I don't know. I'm curious what we were doing with lotion. It's a tub of goo. And you're right, Trey. She said it looked like somebody exploded in there and who knows what else he was up to before. He went oopsies. Oh, I can't. Yeah, you're right. No, you're not overreacting. Honest to God, everything she said so far seems like underreacting.
5:04 If you're a bartender, it's a great irony that bartenders are some of the worst drinkers because... you see every night what, what your concoctions do to people. And, and, and maybe it has taken years on the other side as being sober to go, yeah, I don't, I don't want to look like I, I am embarrassed that I once was that person that I'm, I'm now, you know, looking. At, it is a weird thing. You're right. Because it is, it's, it's just as constant red flags when you're on the watching side. Yeah. Uh, She goes on to say, I moved to the living room, but I heard him get up and vomit again.
5:46 And the showers running again, too. I've never seen him this bad. He's like a drunk salamander. Now it's 6 a.m. and I'm pissed. This is the second night in a row he's come home from work drunk, vomiting and making a general ruckus. I feel like he's a grown up and he should know when he's hit his limit. How the F did he even get home? His car isn't here. So I guess a coworker dropped him off. I'm not going to be a dick. All right, she says, I'm not trying to be a dick. I know we all have embarrassing nights, but I feel like he needs to get his stuff together. I feel bad that this is icking me out, and I feel bad that I'm mad about this. Am I overreacting? Can I just say real quick that Gen Z's tendency to stop and assess and evaluate is actually quite impressive because that's not how our generations work. If this is you and me, Trey, coming home drunk as a skunk and pooping and vomiting all over the place, Are significant others going to be rightfully very mad? They're not going to stop and think, what my reaction should be to this? No, they're going to start throwing things, probably you, out the door.
6:49 Yeah, or you're going to be sleeping in the mess you've made. Yeah, a Gen X woman will drag you out of the bed by your feet into the bathroom and into the middle of your mess and close the door on you and she will go back to sleep and let you deal with whatever you find the next morning. Yeah. I've... Yeah, you really... The fact that you're even questioning whether you're being the asshole or not shows probably too much thought about it. Especially... And again... In my 20s... Now, I'll say this. We would do that, and then we would get up and go to work the next day.
7:30 But if your partner isn't a part of the festivities and she has to get up for work, yeah, you're totally screwing her over. Oh, yeah. You've kept her up all night, and then she's got to go to work, and that makes for just a really bad day. And if it's two nights in a row, yeah, you should know your limits. That was one thing. I don't know how, I don't know why, but for most of my drinking career, I had one fail safe, which is when I hit a point, it was like a light flashed on. It was like, go home. Do not pass. Go do not collect $ 200. Go home. And when I was faithful to that light, I generally kept me out of trouble when I wasn't. That's when shit went sideways.
8:19 It's interesting. Cause I don't think I have that, but you do. And my wife, Tara, has it. There's been numerous times when she was younger, and her friends have corroborated this, where they'd be out doing something, and then they were like, where did Tara go? She would just hit that moment and be like, got to go, and then, foom, she's gone. For a year, I would tell people, hey, don't be offended by it or anything else. If I disappear, it's just I have hit that point, and I have to go home. I'm not, I'm not going to say goodbye. I may not say goodbye. I may not do anything. I'm just gone. Yeah. And this is also the difference between this scenario is the difference between someone like you, Trey, and like me, a professional drinker versus someone who's just, who doesn't really know their limits because they're letting it rip a few times a week, as opposed to The consistent too much drinking?
9:18 Because when you drink too much consistently, you constantly move the bar, right? And even you, as an alcoholic, you knew when the light hit, it was like, okay, I gotta go. So, while being an alcoholic, you were semi-responsible with it, and you knew what your limit was, but you still would drink enough to kill a small animal. Whereas in this guy's situation, he's just bartending, he's just partying, right? Oh yeah. And because he's just partying, he's not paying attention to any signals. He's, he's not doing it every day where it's, you're drinking a little bit every day and then eventually a little bit every day becomes a lot every day.
9:59 And next thing you know uh you you can you can drink anybody under the table if you need to. But if you're a bartender you should know better you should and and two nights in a row you're probably gonna end up getting fired because god knows how you're. Leaving the bar if you're Oh, yeah, that's very true. And your co-workers probably hate you. Oh, they do. Oh, they hate your guts. Now, I will say this. He's 27, according to this story. So he is right on the precipice. Because when you hit your mid-30s, I'm sorry, when you hit your late 20s and then start creeping up to 30, there is a point at which you can no longer do the things you used to do.
10:49 I didn't get that. That's probably why I ended up in AA. Yeah. It's because you are a consistent hard drinker. That's the difference. But when you don't do it on a regular daily basis and you just kind of blow it out every so often, you do it one more time right before you turn 30 or right when you turn 30, and then you swear you'll never do it again because you can't recover the way you used to in your early 20s. And then it happens again, like 10 years later. Yeah. I didn't really get that until I started getting into the end of my drinking career in my forties. And then, and then I was actually drinking less, but it was taking its toll on me. But, uh, and that was like, yeah, I, I should have been hung over a lot more than I was. And I think my one saving grace throughout all of it is I always drink a lot of water. Yeah.
11:46 It does help by the way. Mm-hmm. I can't fathom what a hangover would feel like in my 50s. I just can't. Okay, well, it's not only just a normal hangover in your 50s, especially since it's been over a decade since you've had alcohol. Now imagine that you didn't just fall off the wagon. It ran over me. You took a running start off of it, and then it turned around and ran you over like what happened to this guy. where you get so hammered, you puke and you poop yourself in the bathroom. Now imagine that level of a hangover in your early fifties. I.
12:32 I mean, and sadly at this point it would probably be three drinks and that would, that's what would happen. It might actually be, it wouldn't take much to get you to that point. No. Oh, I, yeah. All I can see is just, you know, just, sitting in the shower, just sobbing and in my own mess. And calling up your sponsor and being like, can AA come to me today? Please don't make me go there. I know I need a meeting, but can it please come to my home? Oh, I can't, I can't, I can't even, if I had to go back into AA and get a desire chip and start over.
13:12 Oh, well, Well, and not only that, but that level of a hangover in your early 50s isn't going to be just one day. I mean, that's at least two. Oh, I fully would expect, if I had to do that, I would have to go to one of those IV places just to make it stop. Or have them come to my place and just be like, stick me. Yeah. And that's the thing, too, is you got to be real clear in your messaging. It's like, Do you want IV fluids, or do you want us to end it all for you? Yeah. Which bag would you like? We have two services here at the IV drop-by place.
13:55 We can save you, or we can end it for you. The euthanasia special, yeah, take that, please. Oh, man. That is... I hadn't thought about that. You're right. I mean, like that level of hangover in your fifties, especially in your case, not having had a drink in that amount of time, ungodly to think of. So no young lady, you are not overreacting. You need to have a talk with this man. Yeah. Ultimatum should be thrown down at this point for, and listen, and I'll say this for his own good too, because he, I wish someone in my, especially in my late twenties would have set me down and go, Hey, knock it off. And might've, you know, so yeah, for his, for his sake and yours, put your foot down.
14:51 Yeah. Just not in that mess that he made. Yeah. Yeah. Am I overreacting for ending things with a guy because he complained that his apartment didn't have a dishwasher. She says, I'm a 21-year-old female, live off campus in my college town. I met this guy who's 23, lives in an apartment complex close to campus. I was looking for housing next year, and I really liked his apartment. After we finished doing what adults do, I asked him how much he liked the place, and he started talking about things that don't really matter to this story. Then he started complaining about the kitchen. He said the leasing agency told him he would get a full kitchen, but he doesn't have one because there's no dishwasher. And he had his parents call the leasing agency to complain about the lack of a dishwasher because they thought the term full kitchen was misleading.
15:47 She goes on. I've been looking at city codes on housing stuff because I've had a lot of problems with my own leasing agency. So I know our city defines a full kitchen as having a sink, a range, or a built-in stovetop, an oven, and a fridge. So I told him a dishwasher would be an amenity, not a requirement, and was just ready to laugh it off. He continued saying he thinks a full kitchen includes a dishwasher and his parents do too. He then said, sorry, I wasn't raised poor. I've always had a dishwasher. So I just thought it was included in every kitchen. He said this in a mocking tone mixed with disgust. She says, I was and still am appalled that a 22 year old man would be so out of touch with reality. And the fact that he had his parents fight his battles for him didn't help my impression of him.
16:33 She's not looking at this the correct way. How so? He's giving her a hint. By repeatedly saying he doesn't have a dishwasher? Yes! Get busy, sweetie! Didn't bring you here just for the sex, you know. Hang it out, make him a sandwich, and go get on those dishes. Because obviously they don't clean themselves. Yeah. Come on. Oh. She says, I've also always grown up with a dishwasher, but I know not everyone has or needs one. I have friends and family. I can't believe this entire post is about a freaking dishwasher.
17:28 Yeah, she was called mom. She says, I left his apartment feeling so icked out by his comment about not being raised poor, and the next day I texted him to say I didn't want to keep seeing him because I didn't feel a spark. You know what else there's not a spark in? His dishwasher. Gone. Yeah, you ever notice that the dishwashing liquid isn't named Doug? Uh-huh. Oh, man. She ends it by saying, I just don't want to be with someone who talks about people being less fortunate than him the way he did, so am I overreacting for ending things with him, or are my housemates right? Her housemates basically say it's no big deal. See, once again, you have another young person trying to look in the mirror and see if something they did was wrong when it's very obvious this guy's a giant prick.
18:36 No, she just needs to get the don and a sponge and get to work. And if she wants to be bougie about it, some of those yellow gloves will go up to the elbow. Sure. If you ask nice, he'll get you a drying rack. Starting to see why you've been single so long.

The website is cookdfw.com. Daniel, part of the roofing process is knowing about ventilation and how important that can be to the life of the roof. That's something you guys look at.
19:28 It's not just about shingles. Absolutely, Dan. A lot of homeowners underestimate the amount of attic heat buildup that their home has. Affects their AC system, affects their roof condition long term, affects just overall their home. And so when we come out, we make that assessment with the homeowner. We try to educate them, make sure that... they have the proper ventilation. There is a calculation of this. We walk them around. If they're interested in going around, we show them what their intakes look like, what their exhaust system looks like, and try to make the best fit for their home. So that's a very common thing that we do. And it should be done every time you have construction done at your property. You need to be educated on what's happening and why.
20:09 And if you've ever dealt with a roofing contractor that didn't have a conversation with you about ventilation underneath that roof, then you need to call Daniel Cook at 833-COOK-DFW so you get the full customer service experience that comes from Cook DFW.

They can come assess to see what happened over the summer to your roof, especially with storms and heat, and get a look at it before we get some really wonky winter temperatures. Just a good time to do it.
21:21 Everybody wins. You do. They do. 833-COOK-DFW to get that free roof inspection and property review scheduled. Call them today and tell them you heard about it right here inside the treehouse. 833-COOK-DFW. All right, Trey. Today is Tuesday. October 27th, 2026. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Troy Gentile is 33. I think I'm saying that right. He is Barry Goldberg on The Goldbergs, one of the best modern sitcoms for 80s nostalgia. That's one of those shows I've always heard good things about, and I haven't watched it, and I don't know why.
22:02 Same. Same. Maybe I keep forgetting about it, but it's supposed to be great. I need to watch it. Add that to my list. For some reason, the Ball family is still mentioned in some pop culture things. Lonzo Ball is 29, is an NBA guard and former number two overall draft pick. Are any of the Ball kids good that play Ball? One of them, I believe, is actually turned out to be pretty lamello, I want to say, is the one that's Um, I know one of them is actually solid. Okay. But if I remember right, it was daddy. He was telling anyone who would listen, how his sons are going to revolutionize the game. And they were the greatest ever or something.
22:52 And he came out with their, their shoes that sucked that were like $ 500 a pop. Dad also said he was better than Jordan. Uh, so, you know, Full-on hype machine. But, you know, the Ball family, especially Daddy Ball, is a great example of, and there's a number of them, but he's a great example of, you can say some of the most outlandish, stupid stuff, and people will listen to it because it is so stupid and outlandish. Stephen A. Smith is another one. Oh, I think Stephen A. Smith is a completely different category. Like, he's not in the same category as the balls, but he says outlandish things, uh, for attention.
23:37 He's mastered it. I mean, that's, he is his own hype man. I mean, he, he is a masterclass in, uh, self-promotion and always keeping his name relevant. Dude's a troll. Very, very rich troll. He has about an ounce of credibility. Whereas daddy ball has none. Oh, I think he has more. I disagree with you there on Stephen A. I used to agree with what you're saying, and then I see him putting on a cowboy hat and trolling Cowboys fans, and it's like... Oh, well, how are you ever a respected journalist?
24:20 Well, number one, it's because he has Michael Irvin on his first take every Monday, so he absolutely trolls Irvin every time. And... he is, I'll at least give him consistency. It's not like he just started hating the Cowboys. He's always been on that bandwagon. That is true. Yeah. That's not a brand new thing. He couldn't stand it forever. Yeah. I just always think about how someone that's on a national show there, I've seen compilation videos of, of him just messing things up left and right. As far as, you know, certain basic facts and figures and things that he would cite during some of his arguments, getting names of players wrongs is like, it is bad. He's, listen, he's very good at what he does. I give the other, he's like Colin Coward. He can say one thing one day and he'll say the opposite thing the next day and never care that he's contradicting himself or anything else. Whatever, because he realizes the news cycle, it changes every day. I mean, they've mastered the news cycle where no one cares what they said yesterday. It's all about what they say today.
25:28 Yeah. And it drives people like me crazy because I remember what they said yesterday and I'm apparently in the minority and they change it today. So they change on a whim. They have no real. They have no authenticity. Right. And so for me, that's nails on a chalkboard. But it works because enough of the masses soak it in that they get buckets of money thrown at them, even though. They kind of suck. Well, and there's some sport, like Stephen A. Smith, like basketball, he is, I would consider, very knowledgeable. I think he's also really knowledgeable about, like, boxing. Other sports, I think he's more hot air.
26:18 Yeah. But, you know, like I said, he's mastered it. Dude got paid. Exactly. So it's... Yes, there is a certain amount of envy in there, but also because it's also in my mind, there's also a fair amount of like. Like, I don't typically begrudge anyone for making money like it's very rare that you will hear me say somebody sold out. Like, I always hated it when like fans of bands would say, oh, such and such band sold out. I'm like, no, they're making a living. Let them make a living. That's OK. It's fine. If they're making a living, then they can make more music that we all love. Why are you hating on this? It's like, why does your favorite band have to live in a van for you to care about? Right.
27:01 Yeah, just because they made a song that they're not a secret anymore and other people like doesn't mean they sold out. No, it just means that they want their kids to go to a nice school. So, yeah. But on the other hand, if you do it where you just like you actually do sell out and you're doing something like just morally reprehensible or something. Like if you built your name on being a credible journalist and then you, I don't know, it just rubs my skin the wrong way when someone's clearly just taking advantage of the situation and, and people don't see it. I don't think, you know, I think that's just part of our society now. They just don't care. It's, it's literally everyone. I mean, it's, this isn't new. but it's from sports to politics, everything people realize it was, I always say Bill Clinton revolutionized politics. And one of the ways he revolutionized politics is George Stephanopoulos. And some of those guys realized that they could say one thing one day and another thing the next day. And if they sold it the right way, no one was going to look back and go, Oh, Hey, what about that? They just kept moving forward. And Stephen A. Smith, I mean, first take is a, and let's be honest, how he got really good at this was being opposite. And now you want to talk about someone I can't stand is Skip Bayless.
28:32 Yes, that is a piece of human trash. Yeah, he is an absolute piece of shit. And that goes back to him working for. Dallas Times-Herald. Yeah, I was about to say, was it Morning News or Times-Herald? And, you know, saying shit like Troy Aikman was gay and stuff like that. So, I mean, he's been he is a fucking troll. So I realize this, that I am probably in the minority on these types of things. I'm the person that remembers the thing you said yesterday. And now today you're completely changing and pretend like you didn't say the thing from the day before. And so that is, I guess, something that I have to contend with because it absolutely drives me nuts. there's a lack of accountability it's like if you said uh two days ago that up was down and then now you're saying down is up i remember that why are you getting why are people letting you get away with this because they don't remember it drives me crazy you.
29:37 Know they're they're in in the moment they're listening to what you say and then it's in one ear out the other they they're scrolling on to the next. Thing yeah speaking of scrolling on to the next thing kelly osborne is 42 have you seen her lately I think the last time I saw her was at some award show where she and the Osbournes were doing some sort of thing in remembrance of Ozzy. And some people thought that she looked more like Ozzy's bones. Skeletons? Yeah. You were talking about the news cycle and everything else.
30:20 This is where I simply don't... it piques my curiosity, but that I, not enough that I'm actually going to go investigate it and see why, because I remember she looked skeletal. I mean, look, and I don't know if it was that she has a health problem or Ozipic gone too far. And again, I don't care enough to really go research it. So it just. Remains a question in my head. And, you know, it's fine. It's fine for it to be that way, because there's also a fine line with modern culture. Right. So on one hand, we're supposed to care about one another and be concerned about someone. If you see some sort of drastic physical change. Right. Like when Chadwick Boseman was all of a sudden drastically thin.
31:08 And then we learned he had stomach cancer, then he died. Then we see Kelly Osbourne and we're like, oh, no. She looks really, really bad. Is something wrong? And then some people are like, whoa, whoa, whoa. It is not okay for you to be commenting on a woman's body, her body, her business. Okay, but some of us worry that she might be ill. No. Okay. Then there's another segment. It's like, clearly her GLP-1 meds have gone too far and someone needs to be investigated. And so you never really know what you're allowed to comment on. And then other times people are like, well, if you didn't say anything, then you don't care. You're basically screwed no matter what. I, you know, I, I.
31:48 Don't, I could give two craps because, and I think you and I would agree on this. When you look unhealthy and it can go, you're too thin or you're too fat, but when you look unhealthy, uh, it raises questions like Ariana Grande. I am a senior label. Last time I saw her skeletal, it's like what beautiful girl, what happened? Yep. Uh, You know, and I'm like, why? Is it peptides? Is it GLP-1s? What is happening? And she's not the only one where you look and go, okay, you've taken weight loss too far.
32:30 And now granted, this is a personal thing, but I think you and I would easily agree Ariana Grande was not someone that you saw and like, oh yeah, girl needs to lose some weight. She was thin. She was already thin. Yeah. Anyway. Kelly Osbourne, 42 other birthdays today. This is a fun one. Patrick Fugit is 44. This, this is a, he was a star of a movie that I need to reevaluate that. It's not that I didn't love it. I love almost famous, but that may be like a top 10 movie of mine. Like it's not one that I want to rewatch all the time, but I love that movie. It is so good.
33:17 He was the star of Almost Famous. He is now 44. Played the teenage rock journalist. I don't know if I've ever seen that movie. Oh, Trey, do yourself a favor. It's based on some true events. So the movie is Almost Famous. In the movie, you got Billy Crudup. So Patrick Fugit plays a teenage freelance journalist doing a story on an up-and-coming band for the Rolling Stones, for the magazines. Rolling Stone. Kate Hudson in this movie? Yes, she is. It's got a stellar cast. Frances McDormand is in it. Zooey Deschanel is in it. Billy Crudup.
34:02 Even though you just said her name and I can see her face, my brain just went blank. Kate Hudson's in it. Phenomenal movie. It's loosely based on things that actually happened to writer-director Cameron Crowe, who who wrote and directed the movie. He was a teenage freelance writer for Rolling Stone back in the day. So this is a movie that's kind of loosely based on some stuff that happened to him. Phenomenal movie. God, it's good. It's also where you get the scene in the movie where Billy Crudup is on top of a house or a garage and screams, I'm a golden god, and then jumps into a pool. It's so good. I think I've seen parts of that movie. I just don't think I've ever sat down and watched it, the full thing.
34:44 Go for it. God, it's good. Matt Drudge is 60, founder of the Drudge Report. Is that still a thing? I don't know. That's part of the reason I wanted to read it. It was a staple of our show prep back in the early 2000s radio days. Yeah, it's still a thing. All right, well, good for him. Yeah, that, I mean. He was kind of a pioneer, uh, in, I don't even know how you would describe that, that site, uh, kind of a conglomeration of news stories.
35:30 Yeah. It was sort of a cross between the smoking gun and like the, like whatever the, whatever the political version of it would be like daily beast or something. The Huffington post maybe. I mean, yeah, I, I, It was political, but it wasn't... It was kind of, yeah, it was kind of a little TMZ, a little this, a little that. But, I mean, it was a force to be reckoned with at one point. Yeah. And then I don't know what happened. Then it was just like, then one day we woke up and it wasn't. Kind of like the smoking, I mean, the smoking gun's still around, but it's not.
36:11 I think TMZ, I swear, I think TMZ just. Beat them all. You know, I think you may be right on that one. It became the mainstream, and those other ones just kind of fell down, fell by the wayside. Marla Maples is 63, one of Donald Trump's ex-wives, mother of Tiffany Trump. Dallas Mavericks former head coach Rick Carlisle is 67. He was the coach of the Mavericks when they won their title in 2011. Good job. You can still coach it. Pacers. I think so. Uh, then, uh, two more and I think we'll be done. All right. So, uh, Lee Greenwood, best known for God bless the USA. 84.
36:53 He is writing that song all the way to the cemetery. He has written that. You want to talk about, cause that song I think came out in the eighties. It's old. Uh, like I, I feel like I first remember that song around Desert Storm, which was 90. Yeah, yeah, Desert Storm was 90, 91. Yeah. And then, yeah, I mean, he has, and that's one of those things, that's an old school, I mean, there's no telling how much he's made off that song.
37:40 I want to do a search to find out. I think I know the answer, but I'm curious. I bet it's... Who do you think has made more money off of one song? Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA or Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas? Oh, Mariah Carey on that one. Yeah, I mean, she makes like $ 6 million every year based on that one song. Yeah, but... That would be... But... God bless... I mean... How. I'm willing to bet Lee Greenwood's God bless the USA has made him more money than tub thumping has made Chumbawamba.
38:20 Oh, that is. Oh, that's actually... I'm shocked at how low that is. What? Tell me. He said this, you know, Said no, nothing is public, especially because he is the sole songwriter and primary recording artist, but that they estimate between $ 5 and $ 8 million since 1984. That's it? That's... I... Well, you know what? Now that I'm thinking about it, it kind of makes sense because that's a song that doesn't get a ton of radio play, unlike Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. So there's not a whole lot of royalties coming in there from BMI ASCAP.
39:11 But that's not, I mean, well, BMI ASCAP died, I guess, 10 years ago. Because, yeah, that's one of those things. Bars used to pay thousands and thousands a month if you had a jukebox. And now it's like 30 bucks. Yeah. But that's also, unlike Mariah Carey's song that comes around every year, Lee Greenwood's song comes around wars and election years. And it never stops. Yeah.

As it is, this is one of our free slash regular episodes of the Treehouse. We're happy to have you here. We have heard of No Shave November. We have heard of Dry January. We have heard of, there's probably some other ones, but now there's a new month to think about, Trey. Have you heard of Locktober?
41:04 Surprisingly, yes. Are we talking about where men put themselves in chastity? Belts. Not a woman named Chastity. Got it, yeah. I needed to say that because I knew a girl in Heist named Chassid. They're... Locked themselves up in Chassid. I have heard of this. I did not know it was... And I couldn't even tell you where I read about this, but years ago I heard something about it. And... Or I saw something...
41:44 I swear it was like Tumblr. So they're... You know what? This easily seems like something that would have originated on Tumblr years ago. It is Lock Up Your Junk Month in October, also known as Locktober. So for most people, October signals the arrival of fall weather, apple cider, maybe some Halloween parties. But for a section of people, the month goes by another name, Locktober. And its meaning is definitely R-rated. Locktober is an annual month-long celebration around chastity observed by many in the BDSM community. Participants wear a chastity cage around their junk that prohibits them from having sex, often under the stewardship of a dominant partner who holds the key. So if you're at the gym and you hear like a clink, clank, clink, clank coming from somewhere, that might be a Locktober participant. I, I try, I don't ever want to really fetish shame, but I, why? I, I am, I'm right there with you.
42:59 Um, I, cause you, you can't even get an erection in these things. I don't think, I think it's like, you're, if. You did, it'd be real uncomfortable, real fast. Right. All I know is this, um, Okay. First of all, never going to happen. I will not do this. Second of all, even if I was one of those people that did, I have to know where the key is at all times. I need to see it at all times. There is no way I'd ever feel comfortable that key being out of sight. Cause I swear to God, if we lose that key. There, yeah, there is. So yeah, this is one of those, we talked about this on the radio show years ago and probably throughout the years of, would you trust your partner enough to handcuff you?
43:58 Look, I trust my wife. I love my wife. I'm not going to let her handcuff me. Not because I don't trust her, but because I can't handle it. Yeah. And it's one thing if you're talking about just being handcuffed, but if you're locking up your junk And I'm assuming these have like little padlocks or I don't. I, I think so. Like the story that I saw, it has a little padlock on the side kind of a thing, but I think it's also like one of those smaller luggage locks. So yeah. What, what do you do if, if she loses the key or if, if he loses the key, if someone loses the key, what do you do? Cause, uh, finesse is required when you're dealing with stuff down there. Yeah.
44:55 I mean, you better know a really good locksmith. Yeah. That, you know, and, and have an NBA. Like, you know how they're saying these days, it's really popular and wise to maybe skip higher education and go into the trades because there's really good money to have in it. You can be your own boss. It's skill-based labor, all these great things with it. If you want to go into locksmithing, just keep in mind that Locktober may not be what you want it to be in the locksmith industry. It might be like a freeze in Texas for plumbers.
45:39 When they call you up and you go, okay, yeah, that'll be $ 500, are they going to argue with you? Yeah. It's kind of like the workers at the state fair who really only work. the fair and then they're off the rest of the year because that's how much money they make during the run of the fair that's that's the type of locksmith you could be just go to a go to go to a city or a place that was really into locktober san francisco and then you can just make a living one month out of the year just unlocking wieners charging a thousand dollars And you could live in Tahiti the rest of the year. You could make $ 600, 000 unlocking junk in one month.
46:23 What happens? And I'm assuming that gay, straight, whatever. What happens when, because I would assume if you're a man and you're subjecting yourself through this, you're going to get real cranky. Chances, you know, you get in a fight. You have no power. You have no power. You will be on your best behavior because if you get into a fight and you say the wrong thing, what happens if he or she goes outside and throws those keys down the storm drain? Or drops them in the disposal and turns it on? Or wraps it in peanut butter and cheese and feeds it to the dog?
47:08 I mean, these things could go real sideways real fast. Oh, yeah, because then she can also go, oh, oh, really? I'm going to go out to the bars. What are you going to do? You can't even stay at home and play with yourself. Just wait till I get home. That is awful. Honey, meet Tyrone. There ain't a lock big enough for him. Oh, God.
47:48 All right. That'll do it for this episode of The Treehouse. I think we've done some good work here, Trey. Good job, buddy. We will see you next time right here inside The Treehouse.
