And as if the feelings of sadness
and pain weren't bad, enough with the
15
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.079
Cowboys loss to Green Bay on Sunday. I don't know if you guys noticed
16
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:01.680
my post on Instagram over the weekend, but I have another scorpion problem inside
17
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.760
my house. I mentioned how we
found a scorpion a couple of weeks ago,
18
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:14.360
and that scorpion and I went Mono
emano and I won because I somehow
19
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.120
got him into a cup, and
I set the cup outside and never thought
20
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.560
about it again, and I think
Tara disposed of it nicely this time.
21
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:31.080
However, I go to my bedroom
and I look at my my my pjs,
22
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.280
I got my the T shirt,
I sleep in, the shorts I
23
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:40.319
sleep in or hanging on the headboard, and Tara calls me upstairs to the
24
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.560
bedroom, Dan Dan Dan Camary,
Like okay, So I go upstairs and
25
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.479
she's just pointing, and she points
at my sleep shorts. And on my
26
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:54.680
sleep shorts is a scorpion, A
little pale yellowish brown just does beady eyes,
27
00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:00.360
the pinchers, the tail, the
tail. The tail is what terrifies
28
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.000
me because I don't want to be
stung, because I also know the little
29
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.639
brown ones are the ones that hurt
the worst. So here's what I did.
30
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.080
And this is where I need you
guys's input. Okay, So I
31
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.960
got two cups to scoop the scorpion
in, all right. I got a
32
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.759
big Fuzzies cup on the bottom with
a smaller bar cup on top. And
33
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.599
so the plan was to swoop down
on the scorpion that is attached to my
34
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.840
shorts on the headboard and then seal
it with the smaller cup inside the larger
35
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.520
cup. Right, And it worked. It's beautiful, and one swooping motion,
36
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.159
I get the bug into the cup. The cup seals on top.
37
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.039
Now I've got a nice contained scorpion. So I take it outside, go,
38
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.319
you know, about one hundred yards
away so it doesn't roam back into
39
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:52.319
the house. Let it roam into
somebody else's house. And I remove the
40
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.280
top cup and I go to fling
the scorpion out of the cup into the
41
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:03.280
forest. Right. Except when I
went to the flinging motion of the Fuzzies
42
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:09.280
cup, instead of the scorpions shooting
out into the forest, it instead hit
43
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:15.279
the air and fluttered to the ground. Oh. And that's when I got
44
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:23.199
out my phone and googled do scorpions
shed? And Google said yes. And
45
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:30.319
that's when I said, oh,
yeah, inserted expletive here. So not
46
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.079
only do I still have a scorpion
problem, but apparently I have a naked
47
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:46.439
scorpion problem as well. May I
ask, what is your aversion to killing
48
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:54.519
the fuckers? In my defense,
this one was no longer a scorpion.
49
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.839
It was just the skin, but
you didn't know that until you threw it
50
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:03.360
out. This is true because I
think they eat other things that I don't
51
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:09.879
want. I think they do.
Yeah, they're not like spiders. Okay,
52
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.720
look at it this way. I'm
not averse to killing them, Trey.
53
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.639
It's just that I'm afraid that if
I do it in the traditional sense
54
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.519
that I'll still get stung. So
I'm trying to find any method I can
55
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.560
to dispose of the scorpion without getting
myself stung. So if you took a
56
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:31.000
big shoe and smash the piss out
of it, do you think you're going
57
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:36.560
to get stung? And let me
ask this how I don't want to pick
58
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:41.879
up the bug guts because I think
that thing's going to shoot stuff all over
59
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.920
the place and probably get in my
eye. And that's it's that's how it
60
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:55.160
gets me in the end. That's
how it turns update no, those scorpion
61
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.199
facials for Dan, well, they
do say it it's good to find your
62
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:13.199
niche. I didn't know the scorpions
had a bang bus. The uh yeah.
63
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.879
I try to answer your question.
I would love to burn down the
64
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.079
house. As soon as I saw
the first scorpion. My thought was like
65
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.079
most people, all right, got
to burn the place down. Unfortunately I
66
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.600
don't own this house, and my
Colombian landlord, Kiko, would not let
67
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.839
me burn down his house in order
to rid us of the scorpion problem.
68
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:46.079
Yeah, I think the the My
question is you'd rather be homeless burn down
69
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.519
your house. So you see the
scorpion and you go, you know what,
70
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.000
we live on the streets. Now, that's what we get. I
71
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.759
got a house in I got a
house on Saint Thomas. I can go
72
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.279
to the house on Saint Thomas,
kick out one of our tenants and just
73
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:06.319
say scorpions out. What if like
the band no uh uh uh am again?
74
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.480
So instead of killing it, you're
like, we're homeless now. My
75
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.800
theory is you're first scorpion. That's
that's this one now. So you when
76
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.879
you put him in the cup and
you took him outside and you thought you'd
77
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.600
gotten him because you went mano and
mano. I think what you did was
78
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:25.519
she just made him angry and he
went off and he started working out,
79
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.360
and he was working out and he
was working out and he got bigger and
80
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.360
then he just brought his his She
had to shed his skin, and then
81
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.240
he brought it and as it and
as I let you know, hey Ben,
82
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.680
I'm still here. He put it
on your shorts and was like,
83
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.680
yeah, bo, you think you
think you killed me last time. I'm
84
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.720
bigger and I'm better. You're gonna
get more stuff on your face that is
85
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.360
terrifying or or or he's like a
stalker and you know you rejected him and
86
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.360
now he's just he wants you more. Yeah, so you know he's he's
87
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.759
worked out and he's shed his skin
and now he's gonna be buffer and yeah
88
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.240
pretty or for you, Yeah,
bigger, a bigger stinger. I really
89
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:09.079
don't like where this is going,
especially when you factor in sort of a
90
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.279
cape fear aspect to it. It's
gonna, it's gonna it's gonna be your
91
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:22.879
your bbs, your big brown scorpion
Trey. I don't have a good answer
92
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.959
for you as far as uh why
I don't just smash it. The first
93
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.399
one that I saw, I couldn't
get an angle because it was in the
94
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.519
utility closet and there was stuff in
the way and I and I was wearing
95
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.919
I was wearing flip flops and I'm
not about to step on the thing and
96
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.600
it reaches the tail up and still
stabs me in the toe. But there
97
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.279
there was no good way to get
it smashing it at that point. This
98
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.799
one, uh, I was just
gonna do what I would typically do with
99
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.000
a spider, which is capture it
and rehome it down the street, right,
100
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.960
thinking maybe it has some use that
will keep other things I don't want
101
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.600
and you know, around, even
though I've taken it down the street.
102
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.159
So I don't have a good answer
for you why I don't just start squashing
103
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.440
the damn things. Also, you
have found it, also, I have
104
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.879
not found it as much as you
know, as funny it is to say,
105
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:15.759
oh, you just burned on a
house. That's not a reality.
106
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.039
Again, my Colombian landlord will not
let me do that. I've asked,
107
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:28.080
But ultimately I don't know. I
don't know why I don't just squish the
108
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.200
thing unless somewhere I'm worried that it's
going to spark some type of scorpion uprising,
109
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.159
and next thing you know, it's
just me surrounded by a bunch of
110
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.080
pissed off scorpions. And that's that's
what's gonna happen, because your wife is
111
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.159
gonna just go you know what,
Dan, I'm not sleeping with scorpions,
112
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.440
have fun, and so you're gonna
wake up. Oh you're gonna be spooning
113
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.879
with a scorpion. No, I've
seen those videos, but it's not a
114
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:03.559
scorpions. I think you're in those. Uh yeah, I just uh,
115
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.080
I think that it would just be
an easier resolution to your problems if you
116
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:13.120
just went and just stepped on it
and be done. Can can she handle
117
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.559
the the gut stuff? If it's
dead? Can she handle that? Because
118
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.960
you can, you can handle the
killing. Maybe you guys should like scorpion
119
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.200
busters. I don't know what.
I don't know what you guys would be
120
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.399
like, you kill them and then
she cleans it up. It's sort of
121
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.080
like fishing. Yeah, I see
what you mean. It's like you go
122
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.000
catch them and then you take them
home and then you know, the wife
123
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.279
cleans them and cooks them. Yeah. So yeah, that should be a
124
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:43.080
shirt. But uh, could can
she handle the the the cleanup? I
125
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.480
don't know, Yeah, because then
you can find Yeah, I just need
126
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.360
I just need to man up and
squash the thing. Yeah, and but
127
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.480
have her clean it up, and
then you can see if it actually does
128
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.000
sting you after it's dead. I'm
just not sure how. I'm not sure
129
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.919
how she would react if she if
she says, if she calls me into
130
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.039
the room because there's a scorpion,
I take off my flip flop, reach
131
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.639
back and smash it, and then
I turn and walk away and then flip
132
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.320
the flip flop over my shoulder Action
Star style and then say, you clean
133
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.840
up the mess. I'll see her. I just heard her chuckle from the
134
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.200
out the room. I don't think
that's gonna fly. Try try try doing
135
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.240
that and go make me a sandwich. Try. I'd rather I'd rather wake
136
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:41.799
up surrounded by scorpions. You're in
the Treehouse. Visit us online at treehouseonair
137
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:50.039
dot com. Let's get Jacqueline from
Brooks Plumbing into the tree House now,
138
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.159
because I know that she's not busy
doing anything else right now. The number
139
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.759
four Brooks Plumbing for any and all
of you are plumbing ones in need?
140
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.879
Is of course two one, four, three, six, eight thirty eight
141
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.320
eight I say that, of course, I'm kidding because it's very cold.
142
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.360
It has been cold, and is
this in the plumbing business, Jaqueline,
143
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.799
what would be referred to as you
know, like plumbing season or a frozen
144
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.080
pipe season. It's plumbing season.
So because we didn't have a lot any
145
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.759
that I'm aware of rolling blackouts in
Texas, there have been significantly less freeze
146
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:28.559
breaks on water lines. But shockingly, what I'm seeing now is frozen sewer
147
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:35.000
stoppages or frozen pea traps. So
water or let's just go with the stoppage
148
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.360
like so, a stoppage will get
stuck somewhere in a pipe in a second
149
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.440
story of a home and it froze, and that homeowner is trying to drip
150
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.720
their faucets in that upstairs bathroom,
but the sewer drain is just slowly but
151
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.120
surely filling with water. And then
we've been seeing it leaking from up to
152
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.879
down. So it's raining kind of
clean, kind of dirt, dirty water
153
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.279
inside their houses. And that's a
matter of breaking it up with the sewer
154
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.639
machine and attempting to push it through. I've seen two of those this year,
155
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.559
and I'm like, wow, that's
interesting. But I want to talk
156
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.399
about just for two seconds ingenuity.
I went to Walmart on Friday looking for
157
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.279
hose bib covers, couldn't find any, bought a pair of women's muckluck socks.
158
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.240
Sorry that's the baby beagle barking,
and wrapped my hose bibs in the
159
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.360
muckluck socks, and then wrapped the
muckluck socks in grocery bags. And I
160
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.480
was like, yeah, that'll do. And my old nineteen seventies farmhouse is
161
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.480
doing just fine. So you just
be ingenious and think outside of the boxes.
162
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.960
The key to survival. That is
a great one, the muckluck socks.
163
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.480
I like that. There was one. I've also seen people do the
164
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.600
when they couldn't find the regular hose
bib covers. Is I've heard waaburger cups
165
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:54.440
can also do wonders. You can
do that, but you have to surround
166
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.320
it. So if you get the
waterburger cup, shove newspaper or shove like
167
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.279
think like shavings, like would sawdust? Almost gotcha? Okay, I'm busy,
168
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.840

Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration eight three
three Cook dfwor cookdfw dot com. I
189
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.600
did a quick sweep of the house. No scorpions that I can see,
190
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:02.480
but sleeping the last couple of days
has been interesting because like every little like
191
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.159
slight twinge or tickle, like I
feel like whether it's on my foot or
192
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.559
like in my hair, I felt
like, I think, is that one?
193
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.519
Is that? Is that a scorpion? Is that the one that shed
194
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.919
its skin and left it on my
shorts? Yes, yeah, yeah,
195
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:25.159
that's exactly what it is. Thanks. Yeah, it's a really diabolical scorpion
196
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.639
that that shed and then he made
his way into your house put it on
197
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.679
your It's very very like the scorpion
mafia. Like he just left you a
198
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.320
little like hey, here we go, and then he left and it's like
199
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.600
he'll never be able to sleep right
again. I also I think they also
200
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.559
they naturally they shed when they have
babies. Yeah, I've heard that too.
201
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.639
You're not You're not helping my sleep
problems because as it is, we
202
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.679
already we already check under the sheets, you know, just just because where
203
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.799
we live. Yeah, on Saint
John. We're up on Bordeaux Mountain,
204
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:06.480
and we learned recently that the elevation
where we live is called the moist forest,
205
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.680
and that apparently is is popular among
all sorts of critters, and that
206
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.680
includes you know, scorpions, but
you know, anything else. So we
207
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.160
will check under the sheets, under
the under the covers for anything that might
208
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.880
be lying in wait. That forest
has got to be like ninety mail though.
209
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.079
I'm glad you said it because I
was thinking it because it's because it's
210
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:48.079
moist the that's that's that just sounds
like so that a white person named it.
211
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:56.200
That that's what we were told,
we live in the moist forest.
212
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:02.279
That be part of your mailing that
dress, that would be amazing. Number
213
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:11.559
one moist forest Lane, moist Forest. I come from the moist forest.
214
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:22.079
I just walk out looking like swamp
thing. Yeah, I was just looking
215
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:23.920
it up and you check onder the
sheets. That's great, but they're known
216
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.079
and their babies are known to grow
under the other side of the pillow,
217
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.759
the cool side. We check that
too. We also check on we check
218
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.720
under the sheet, we check under
the blanket, we check under the pillows.
219
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.319
I will check under the bed.
The thing is, though, because
220
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:42.359
of all the different critters that we
have seen, I'm now at the point
221
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:52.079
where that I'm even looking for camel
spiders, just because at this point I
222
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.839
think anything is possible. We've heard
over the years being on the radio service
223
00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.839
members coming back from Afghanistan or Iraq, and we've seen photos of the camel
224
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.880
spiders and how freaky those are.
They look like the face huggers and alien.
225
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.319
So I'm really at this point I
don't know what's going to come out
226
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.400
of the moist forest. It will
be a camel spider. I mean,
227
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:17.279
it's the name camel moist. They
don't go together, they don't. That's
228
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.839
a scorpion. Oh ot, you
know, that's match made in heaven.
229
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.799
You know. I don't feel good, but there is something that will make
230
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.880
me feel at least slightly better.
What is that? Dan? That would
231
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:42.559
be birthdays that segue really stunned.
Oh no, yeah, I went there.
232
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.839
That was good. That's so.
Yeah, apparently there's a lot of
233
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.680
brain decay at the moist forest level. All right, Today is Fred Day,
234
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:57.359
January nineteenth, twenty twenty four.
Birthdays today, let's celebrate and say
235
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:04.480
happy birthday to Olympic gold medalist and
Dancing with the Stars champion season eight that
236
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.839
is Sean Johnson. She is thirty
two today. She actually won season eight
237
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:14.559
of Dancing with the Stars when she
was seventeen, which, after being an
238
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.680
Olympic gold medalist, probably seem pretty
damn easy. Why you talk. Not
239
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.880
a whole lot of pressure packed,
you know situations on Dancing with the Stars,
240
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:30.359
at least in comparison to you know, gymnastics. We've also got Stephanie
241
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:36.000
from full House and Fuller House.
Jody Sweeten, she turns forty two today.
242
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.480
Wow, didn't she have like a
meth thing? Didn't she have a
243
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:47.599
She's like, like like many Hollywood
child stars, she's had She's had some,
244
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.839
you know, some struggles. Okay, but specifically it was meth.
245
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:57.920
I don't remember. Yeah, I
don't want to get sued, but maybe
246
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:04.200
maybe meth. Yeah, she would
if it was meth. I will say
247
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.640
she's one of the few people.
She's one of the few people that came
248
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:14.680
out of a meth problem looking better
than when she went in. Okay,
249
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.960
yeah, uh, she she retained
her teeth or got new ones. I
250
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:23.680
have no idea. Okay, she
maintained a heartbeat, so you know that
251
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:33.279
she gives her an edge, asked
Dana Plato. Oh yeah, I drop
252
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.640
on Dana Plato right on her grave. All right. De Drea de Mateo
253
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:44.240
from Amazon's Paradise City. Most of
us remember her as Adriana on The Sopranos.
254
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.640
She was also on Sons of Anarchy. She is fifty two today.
255
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:56.000
Sean Wayans, brother of Damon too
many Williams's sorry, it's Damon Wayne's son,
256
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:03.400
right or nephew. No, Well, Sean is is That's what it
257
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.599
is. Are the brothers. Okay, got it? So Sean Wayans,
258
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.400
he's fifty three today. He was
in White Chicks, Little Man, and
259
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.519
Scary Movie. I believe it was
Scary movie that had one of the more
260
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.720
memorable death scenes. That was one
where he goes into the bathroom uh and
261
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.960
uh sticks his ear up to the
glory hole, and and and the greener
262
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:33.640
shirts through his brain talk about a
memorable death. Well, that's that's the
263
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:41.480
one I definitely remember. Other birthdays
today Marcy Playground singer John Wozniak is fifty
264
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:47.240
three today. Also Paul mccrane.
You don't You probably don't know him by
265
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:51.279
his name, but you'll know him
by his face. He's sixty three today.
266
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.000
He was doctor Romano on er he's
on with the red hair and bald
267
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.839
I guess side red hair and bald
on top. But I I'm not sure,
268
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.559
Raj, if you saw this movie
or not. But I know Trey
269
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.079
and I have. We know him
best as the guy that RoboCop melted.
270
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.160
Did not see it. He was
one of the bad guys. He was
271
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:19.160
one of the henchmen that killed Murphy
in RoboCop. And then when RoboCop started
272
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.680
to become more sentient and realizing that, oh I was, I was a
273
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:30.720
person once and he goes back and
eliminates the entire gang that murdered him.
274
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:37.599
Birthday boy was the one that was
the one that RoboCop melted. Was he
275
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.599
on twenty four as well? Was
he in the season of twenty four?
276
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.440
He might have been, He might
have been. He was also He was
277
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:52.400
also in the classic nineteen eighty film
Fame. Yes, yes, he wasn't
278
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.319
twenty four. He wasn't twenty four. I know he's he always plays like
279
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.799
on Er. He was like the
super arrogant. He was the one that
280
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.559
everybody hated. And then he I
think he lost his arm. I think
281
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:04.920
in one of the episodes. Oh, you're right, I see it here
282
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:10.400
he was Jack Bauer's brother Gream on
twenty four. That's right. Yeah,
283
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.599
So Paul mccrane died in Er.
Like the way he was killed made it
284
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.960
seem like he was in a contract
dispute with the producers and they decided,
285
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.680
not only are we not giving you
that raise, we're gonna kill you dead,
286
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.640
dead dead, And they went to
the writers and said kill him dead.
287
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:30.680
And so he was killed off in
Er by a helicopter that crashed on
288
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.480
top of him. Yes, yeah, that's uh, that's when you've pissed
289
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:40.359
off the writers. It's like what's
her name on Gray's Anatomy, the the
290
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.519
pretty the girl who was in Knocked
Up. Yeah, I can't remember her
291
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.400
name, but she she did an
interview where she was talking about the writers,
292
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:49.920
and so they're like, oh,
okay, We're gonna give you a
293
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:56.640
brain to her that makes you have
sex with the ghost enjoy, and then
294
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:03.839
they killed her off. That was
it was a believable scene. We're gonna
295
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:08.680
Paul mcgrade's IMDb. The thing that
really stands out on that that really it's
296
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:15.599
a forgotten blunder of TV history.
Cop Rock. Oh oh, Stephen Bochko,
297
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.640
No, what was cop Rock?
Was it a musical? Remember,
298
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.559
I believe correctly, Trey check this
on the IMDb. As you're looking at
299
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:29.000
it. I want to say this
came out. It was either eighty nine
300
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.680
or ninety. I'm gonna go ninety. I'm gonna go the Fall of ninety.
301
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.400
It was cop Rock. So it
was it was sort of like,
302
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.279
so you know Law and Order,
right, the first part of the show
303
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.440
is the detectives, and the second
that's the law, and the second half
304
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:48.960
is the order where they're all in
court and the cases decided. That's what
305
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.680
cop Rock was before Law and Order
existed. They had the police and they
306
00:25:52.680 --> 00:26:00.200
had the courts. But they sang
it was a musical. No, this
307
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:06.000
is what happens when Hollywood gives too
much power to one person. Stephen Botchko,
308
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:11.079
I forgot what else he had done
he was so successful, might have
309
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.240
been Hill Story Blues. He was
so successful that that Hollywood said, yes,
310
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.839
you can do cop Rock. Yeah, maybe he was ahead of his
311
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:30.680
time. Maybe it could have aired
after Glee. You know sometimes sometimes what
312
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.359
do they say, not only in
real estate, but maybe in Hollywood location
313
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.000
location location. Maybe it's like if
it was ABC or whatever it was that
314
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.000
was uh that had cop Rock,
it was just the wrong channel. If
315
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.640
they had it on like the Disney
Channel after you know, the High School
316
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.480
Musical, or on Fox after Glee, Like ro just had a shot Glee
317
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.839
cop Rock the voice like it would
have been beautiful, Like it would have
318
00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:00.400
been just a marriage of horribleness.
Uh cop Rock. You know That's that's
319
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.640
again what makes me laugh about Hollywood
is he wanted to do a meeting with
320
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.960
executives that were sitting around the table
and then what do you got there,
321
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:07.640
Stephen? I'm sure they just called
him botch? What do you got botch?
322
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:12.119
And he's like, all right,
cops that sing and they went take
323
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.359
a bagload of money, get out
of here. That's why that's why you're
324
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.400
doing I am I am with you. I don't understand how it is some
325
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:23.039
things ever get greenlit in Hollywood unless
it is some sort of coked out fever
326
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:33.960
dream. So here are here are
some of the Stephen Botchko successes right before
327
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.400
Cop Rock. Are you ready?
You have Hill Street Blues eighty one to
328
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.279
eighty seven, La Law eighty six
to ninety four, So he was still
329
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:47.559
in the height of La Law when
Cop Rock hit the air. He also
330
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:52.599
had one year of Doogie Howser MD
under his belt because that started the year
331
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:59.160
before Cop Rock, so he was
on a good run. They were like,
332
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.599
yeah, you want to do a
cop musical TV show. Here's like
333
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.200
you said, ros, here's your
here's you a bag of money to do
334
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:11.839
it. Get out of here.
But what's next? Uh less unless the
335
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:18.319
studio person or the network whatever it
was, had a beef with him and
336
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.839
said no you, and for whatever
reason, Boko comes like I got a
337
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.359
new idea, and instead of saying
no, he just like, go for
338
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:33.119
it. No one, No one
remembers the studio executive that greenlit Cop Rock.
339
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.720
But I mean I remember that it
was a Botchko baby. Yeah,
340
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.160
I'm gonna have my own show.
It's gonna be it's gonna be uh singing
341
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.880
doctors, and it's gonna be it's
it's yeah, it's gonna it's. It's
342
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.000
called singer. But at the end
the e r is capitalized. Oh you're
343
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.119
not ready for it? Oh I
get it? Singing in the er uh
344
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.880
huh. Yeah, that's right,
because that's exactly what you would want in
345
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:02.240
a medical emergency song and and and
patients busting out into song. I wish
346
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.960
I was a dead man, What
killed you? Scorpions in my bed?
347
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.240
That would be fantastic. Sing you
or singer, That's what it's gonna be.
348
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.119
It's good. I can only I
feel like they've already sent the money.
349
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.400
I'm just waiting for it to arrive
at my doorstop. I'll let you
350
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.839
guys know. I kind of think
though that maybe that's what ABC did with
351
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.000
their show Good Doctor, with you
know, the special needs doctor. The
352
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.759
I guess he's just playing an autistic
doctor. It's like, did they try
353
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.240
to get away with spelling it doctor
with an er as well? Or and
354
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:47.880
they were corrected? Ah, that
would have been good too. You're onto
355
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.839
something we should collaborate on more show
ideas. Hey, we can't do any
356
00:29:52.839 --> 00:30:03.839
worse than cop Rock. I'm not
sure. I wouldn't speak so fast.

Time out to talk to Carrie Cook
from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. I
359
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.680
guess I wore out my welcome with
Daniel and he's now seeking you on me.
360
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:29.240
Carrie, What did I do to
deserve you think? Did anything?
361
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:30.640
Well? I don't know, man, It guess it depends you might have
362
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.400
done something. Let's start with this. The number to call you at COOKDFW
363
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.640
Roofing and Restoration is, of course
eight three three Cook DFW. Get that
364
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:44.720
free roof inspection, especially after all
the cold weather we had. Those cold
365
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.759
temperatures can do some numbers on the
roof. You want to have it checked
366
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.400
out to see if it's in good
shape or not. You give Carrie and
367
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:53.920
Daniel a call eight three three Cook
DFW. They'll come out and check it
368
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.039
for you for free. Outside of
that, I'm curious. The big news
369
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:02.920
in Dallas this week is, of
course, Mike McCarthy is keeping his job
370
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.000
as head coach of the Cowboys.
And I know you and Daniel are big
371
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:11.599
Cowboys fans just like we are.
So box feelings. I'm okay with it.
372
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.960
I don't think that he should be
fired. Interesting And why is that?
373
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.680
Well, I mean killing Moore called
plays for how long? And he
374
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:19.799
got to keep his job for how
long? Mmm? Okay, you know.
375
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:22.480
I mean, if you're gonna fire
because the play call is going to
376
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.759
be bys, I think you need
to revisit your players. It's it's not
377
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.000
so much the coaching, it's the
execution on the player's side. It wasn't
378
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.240
really pretty the other night. It
definitely there. You were at the game.
379
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:40.680
Yes, well did you boo?
We left? Wow? You didn't
380
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.119
even waste time booing. You just
said, screw it, we're out.
381
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.720
It was it was just it was
embarrassing. I was actually hoping, I
382
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.680
said this on the Football podcast.
I was actually hoping. I wish that
383
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:53.599
all the fans had been so angry
they booed so and would have booed so
384
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:59.519
loudly it would have made an actual
hole in the roof as opposed to a
385
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.480
planned one. And then that way
you and Daniel could have slipped Jerry a
386
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.920
couple of business cards. There you
go, Right, come on, Jerry,
387
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.359
we'll give you that free roof inspection. There you go. I like
388
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.960

care of your roof while they wait on

eight thirty eight thirty eight four Brooks

dot com. I took a quick look.
400
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:14.680
We were talking about cop Rock creator
Stephen Botchko, and there was a
401
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.359
couple of other shows that were also
misses. Even he even though he's had
402
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:23.519
some obvious successes with Hillstory Blues La
Law NYPD Blue Doogie Howser. There was
403
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:31.119
another show called Raising the Bar that
only lasted one year two thousand and eight
404
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:36.319
to two thousand and nine. Based
on the photo and the title Raising the
405
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:40.319
Bar, I'm guessing it was a
legal drama, although based on our mashup
406
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:47.319
history, I'm guessing it could have
been lawyers doing ballet, which I mean
407
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:52.640
if for the guy that had,
you know, cops singing in the streets,
408
00:33:52.640 --> 00:34:00.000
then why why would legal ballet be
you know, a stretch? Just
409
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:06.039
realized the pun there. But there
was another show on here that I remember
410
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.159
watching that did not last very long, And when I give you the title
411
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:12.840
and the premise of it, you're
going to understand why, because it's another
412
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:17.639
great example of why did Hollywood think
this was going to work? That is
413
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:24.079
the show that came and went in
two thousand and five called Blind Justice,
414
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.760
And I remember watching this show.
I don't know why, but this was
415
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:37.360
a NYPD detective who gets injured in
the line of duty and is blinded,
416
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:43.719
but he returns to work with his
disability to still solve crimes, despite his
417
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.800
fellow detectives being wary of working with
him because he may not see the bad
418
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:52.559
guys coming. That's not me saying
that. That was the blurb on Google
419
00:34:54.679 --> 00:35:00.519
and it actually what's that tray?
Blind Justice is what it was called Blind
420
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.199
Justice, and I remember the I
like the actor who starred in and maybe
421
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.719
that's why I watched it. His
name is Ron Elderd and he was in
422
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:08.679
He's been in a number of things. I don't know if you guys have
423
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:12.239
seen Deep Impact as many times as
I have. He played one of the
424
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.840
astronauts and Deep Impact. He was
also in Super eight Blackhawk Down. He
425
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:21.079
was also in Sleepers back in ninety
six. But looking at the other cast
426
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:25.360
members of Blind Justice won Frank Grillo, who went on to some Marvel success
427
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:31.440
as Captain America's nemesis. Oh okay, yeah, and he also had a
428
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:40.280
turn as the Punisher. Oh who
didn't. So they made Blind Justice and
429
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:46.039
it failed, and they still put
out Ben affleckt as Daredevil. See again
430
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:52.880
ahead of its time? What year
was this? Blind Justice was two thousand
431
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:59.559
and five? Oh so a year
ahead of its time? Now, because
432
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.719
I don't think personally Ben Affleck is
Daredevil not my favorite. I thought that
433
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.840
actually came out in two thousand and
three, So that that actually came out
434
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.599
before Blind just so they saw it
and they still did it stupid. Yeah,
435
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.159
well they were trying. They were
probably trying to capitalize on it,
436
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:19.320
right, and so they're like,
hey, they made a movie, why
437
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:22.440
don't we make a serious I got
into a discussion with the Hollywood execs about
438
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:23.880
this. I'm like, how do
you guys come up with? What is
439
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:28.159
it? Like? You have n
CIS and then you'll have whatever the other
440
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:31.239
one was the they're ones, Oh
yeah, the other ones, and they're
441
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:36.800
like c n CIS Louise, New
Orleans. Yeah, but then like they
442
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.360
had CSI and then they had something
else. And I asked in Chase if
443
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:43.599
they go to city to city Yeah, yeah, And then I asked I
444
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:45.599
was like I was asking one of
the execs at CBS. I was like,
445
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:46.960
hey, so how does it work? They go, we watched like
446
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:52.000
if there's some groundbreaking new thing like
Brianca Chopra and Quantico. Right, They're
447
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.559
like, well, let's see if
it works. And then if that works,
448
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:58.800
the next year, they flew in
all these actors from India. We're
449
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:01.239
in Hollywood because they were trying to
read Every network was trying to recreate it
450
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:05.559
because of how well it did.
So that's how it goes. So if
451
00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.039
they saw this, you know,
they saw Daredevil and it was like,
452
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.280
oh my god, it made so
much money. Okay, let's put it
453
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:13.159
into a TV show. So that's
how, you know. I don't know
454
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:19.000
how cop Rock happened. I don't
know that's the same. I'm sure there
455
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:23.119
was another something musically that was very
popular at that time. And because,
456
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:30.639
like you said, with a chopra
Quantico. Yeah yeah, well then they
457
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:32.880
put her she's the one who married
the Jonas brother, right, yes,
458
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:36.880
yeah, So then they did Citadel, which I don't know if you saw
459
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:40.599
that, Yeah, not great,
Okay, yeah, but they which is
460
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:44.760
kind of like basically spin off of
Quantico. Well yeah, it's basically,
461
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.360
you know, take one good idea
and we'll beat the crap out of it
462
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:52.000
and you go get nine other shows
that are horrible. Man, are you
463
00:37:52.039 --> 00:38:01.159
still talking about Hollywood? Are you
talking about radio? Well? Uh,
464
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:09.199
speaking of bad television. Trey sent
me a link that I'm not quite sure
465
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:16.800
how to explain or even set this
up, because this is so stupid that
466
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:22.480
it belongs squarely here in the treehouse, and I am ashamed that we haven't
467
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:27.840
had it in here sooner it is. It's probably I will say that it's
468
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.760
probably the most unscripted. Who's on
first interaction? I think I've ever seen
469
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:45.039
Trey? If you could set this
clip up for us so I can't remember
470
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.800
the guy's name. He's a contributor
on Fox News and he's on Laura Ingram
471
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.800
show. He oftentimes I believe he's
an attorney, and it'll come in and
472
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.639
you know, we just make different
points about culture and you know, things
473
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.519
that are going on. Okay,
and this is Laura Ingram, Laura Ingram
474
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:09.079
on her ship. Yeah, okay, hang on, watchuring an episode of
475
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.800
You where measles came up? Wait
wait, wait when did I mention measles?
476
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:22.360
I don't know it was on you? What? What was on me?
477
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:28.000
What are you talking about? Right? I never was on you.
478
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:34.000
We never did a we never did
a measles in vaccine episode of my Is
479
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.639
this a joke? I don't know
what you're talking about. It was on
480
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.960
you, it was on you.
I've never had Raymond, I've never had
481
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.559
measles. What are you talking about? It's stupid. It was an episode
482
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:51.119
of a show, Laura. What's
it called you? It's called you?
483
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:55.320
I've never done a show on measles. I just completely give up up called
484
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.519
you on Netflix. There's a show
called Laura on an f Oh my god,
485
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.519
I'm moving on to a Dell.
I can't explain this to it.
486
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:07.559
You know, I was watching an
episode. I love that. That's it.
487
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.440
I'm moving on to a Dell.
I just I mean she I can't
488
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:15.079
even did she ever? That is
That's the saddest ship I've ever heard.
489
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:20.239
You know, you know it was
bad because you could actually see facial expressions
490
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:27.920
on her boatox ridden face. Yeah, when frustration can cut through the botox.
491
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:35.039
Yeah, that that was. That
was those stupid botulism gave up.
492
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:45.440
Yeah, I can't just test.
Oh man, I needed that after this
493
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:52.719
week. Oh man, god,
can you please send to me. I
494
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:57.280
will happily send that to you once
again. I mean this, this is
495
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:00.559
the place you come for stupid.
I don't even know. I don't know
496
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:06.760
how recent that was, doesn't matter. The stupid is forever. And speaking
497
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.519
of that, we will see you
for the next episode right here in the Trios

And as if the feelings of sadness
and pain weren't bad, enough with the
15
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.079
Cowboys loss to Green Bay on Sunday. I don't know if you guys noticed
16
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:01.680
my post on Instagram over the weekend, but I have another scorpion problem inside
17
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.760
my house. I mentioned how we
found a scorpion a couple of weeks ago,
18
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:14.360
and that scorpion and I went Mono
emano and I won because I somehow
19
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.120
got him into a cup, and
I set the cup outside and never thought
20
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.560
about it again, and I think
Tara disposed of it nicely this time.
21
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:31.080
However, I go to my bedroom
and I look at my my my pjs,
22
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.280
I got my the T shirt,
I sleep in, the shorts I
23
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:40.319
sleep in or hanging on the headboard, and Tara calls me upstairs to the
24
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.560
bedroom, Dan Dan Dan Camary,
Like okay, So I go upstairs and
25
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.479
she's just pointing, and she points
at my sleep shorts. And on my
26
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:54.680
sleep shorts is a scorpion, A
little pale yellowish brown just does beady eyes,
27
00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:00.360
the pinchers, the tail, the
tail. The tail is what terrifies
28
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.000
me because I don't want to be
stung, because I also know the little
29
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.639
brown ones are the ones that hurt
the worst. So here's what I did.
30
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.080
And this is where I need you
guys's input. Okay, So I
31
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.960
got two cups to scoop the scorpion
in, all right. I got a
32
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.759
big Fuzzies cup on the bottom with
a smaller bar cup on top. And
33
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.599
so the plan was to swoop down
on the scorpion that is attached to my
34
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.840
shorts on the headboard and then seal
it with the smaller cup inside the larger
35
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.520
cup. Right, And it worked. It's beautiful, and one swooping motion,
36
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.159
I get the bug into the cup. The cup seals on top.
37
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.039
Now I've got a nice contained scorpion. So I take it outside, go,
38
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.319
you know, about one hundred yards
away so it doesn't roam back into
39
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:52.319
the house. Let it roam into
somebody else's house. And I remove the
40
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.280
top cup and I go to fling
the scorpion out of the cup into the
41
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:03.280
forest. Right. Except when I
went to the flinging motion of the Fuzzies
42
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:09.280
cup, instead of the scorpions shooting
out into the forest, it instead hit
43
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:15.279
the air and fluttered to the ground. Oh. And that's when I got
44
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:23.199
out my phone and googled do scorpions
shed? And Google said yes. And
45
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:30.319
that's when I said, oh,
yeah, inserted expletive here. So not
46
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.079
only do I still have a scorpion
problem, but apparently I have a naked
47
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:46.439
scorpion problem as well. May I
ask, what is your aversion to killing
48
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:54.519
the fuckers? In my defense,
this one was no longer a scorpion.
49
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.839
It was just the skin, but
you didn't know that until you threw it
50
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:03.360
out. This is true because I
think they eat other things that I don't
51
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:09.879
want. I think they do.
Yeah, they're not like spiders. Okay,
52
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.720
look at it this way. I'm
not averse to killing them, Trey.
53
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.639
It's just that I'm afraid that if
I do it in the traditional sense
54
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.519
that I'll still get stung. So
I'm trying to find any method I can
55
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.560
to dispose of the scorpion without getting
myself stung. So if you took a
56
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:31.000
big shoe and smash the piss out
of it, do you think you're going
57
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:36.560
to get stung? And let me
ask this how I don't want to pick
58
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:41.879
up the bug guts because I think
that thing's going to shoot stuff all over
59
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.920
the place and probably get in my
eye. And that's it's that's how it
60
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:55.160
gets me in the end. That's
how it turns update no, those scorpion
61
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.199
facials for Dan, well, they
do say it it's good to find your
62
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:13.199
niche. I didn't know the scorpions
had a bang bus. The uh yeah.
63
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.879
I try to answer your question.
I would love to burn down the
64
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.079
house. As soon as I saw
the first scorpion. My thought was like
65
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.079
most people, all right, got
to burn the place down. Unfortunately I
66
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.600
don't own this house, and my
Colombian landlord, Kiko, would not let
67
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.839
me burn down his house in order
to rid us of the scorpion problem.
68
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:46.079
Yeah, I think the the My
question is you'd rather be homeless burn down
69
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.519
your house. So you see the
scorpion and you go, you know what,
70
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.000
we live on the streets. Now, that's what we get. I
71
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.759
got a house in I got a
house on Saint Thomas. I can go
72
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.279
to the house on Saint Thomas,
kick out one of our tenants and just
73
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:06.319
say scorpions out. What if like
the band no uh uh uh am again?
74
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.480
So instead of killing it, you're
like, we're homeless now. My
75
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.800
theory is you're first scorpion. That's
that's this one now. So you when
76
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.879
you put him in the cup and
you took him outside and you thought you'd
77
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.600
gotten him because you went mano and
mano. I think what you did was
78
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:25.519
she just made him angry and he
went off and he started working out,
79
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.360
and he was working out and he
was working out and he got bigger and
80
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.360
then he just brought his his She
had to shed his skin, and then
81
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.240
he brought it and as it and
as I let you know, hey Ben,
82
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.680
I'm still here. He put it
on your shorts and was like,
83
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.680
yeah, bo, you think you
think you killed me last time. I'm
84
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.720
bigger and I'm better. You're gonna
get more stuff on your face that is
85
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.360
terrifying or or or he's like a
stalker and you know you rejected him and
86
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.360
now he's just he wants you more. Yeah, so you know he's he's
87
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.759
worked out and he's shed his skin
and now he's gonna be buffer and yeah
88
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.240
pretty or for you, Yeah,
bigger, a bigger stinger. I really
89
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:09.079
don't like where this is going,
especially when you factor in sort of a
90
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.279
cape fear aspect to it. It's
gonna, it's gonna it's gonna be your
91
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:22.879
your bbs, your big brown scorpion
Trey. I don't have a good answer
92
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.959
for you as far as uh why
I don't just smash it. The first
93
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.399
one that I saw, I couldn't
get an angle because it was in the
94
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.519
utility closet and there was stuff in
the way and I and I was wearing
95
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.919
I was wearing flip flops and I'm
not about to step on the thing and
96
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.600
it reaches the tail up and still
stabs me in the toe. But there
97
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.279
there was no good way to get
it smashing it at that point. This
98
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.799
one, uh, I was just
gonna do what I would typically do with
99
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.000
a spider, which is capture it
and rehome it down the street, right,
100
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.960
thinking maybe it has some use that
will keep other things I don't want
101
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.600
and you know, around, even
though I've taken it down the street.
102
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.159
So I don't have a good answer
for you why I don't just start squashing
103
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.440
the damn things. Also, you
have found it, also, I have
104
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.879
not found it as much as you
know, as funny it is to say,
105
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:15.759
oh, you just burned on a
house. That's not a reality.
106
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.039
Again, my Colombian landlord will not
let me do that. I've asked,
107
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:28.080
But ultimately I don't know. I
don't know why I don't just squish the
108
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.200
thing unless somewhere I'm worried that it's
going to spark some type of scorpion uprising,
109
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.159
and next thing you know, it's
just me surrounded by a bunch of
110
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.080
pissed off scorpions. And that's that's
what's gonna happen, because your wife is
111
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.159
gonna just go you know what,
Dan, I'm not sleeping with scorpions,
112
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.440
have fun, and so you're gonna
wake up. Oh you're gonna be spooning
113
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.879
with a scorpion. No, I've
seen those videos, but it's not a
114
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:03.559
scorpions. I think you're in those. Uh yeah, I just uh,
115
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.080
I think that it would just be
an easier resolution to your problems if you
116
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:13.120
just went and just stepped on it
and be done. Can can she handle
117
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.559
the the gut stuff? If it's
dead? Can she handle that? Because
118
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.960
you can, you can handle the
killing. Maybe you guys should like scorpion
119
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.200
busters. I don't know what.
I don't know what you guys would be
120
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.399
like, you kill them and then
she cleans it up. It's sort of
121
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.080
like fishing. Yeah, I see
what you mean. It's like you go
122
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.000
catch them and then you take them
home and then you know, the wife
123
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.279
cleans them and cooks them. Yeah. So yeah, that should be a
124
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:43.080
shirt. But uh, could can
she handle the the the cleanup? I
125
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.480
don't know, Yeah, because then
you can find Yeah, I just need
126
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.360
I just need to man up and
squash the thing. Yeah, and but
127
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.480
have her clean it up, and
then you can see if it actually does
128
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.000
sting you after it's dead. I'm
just not sure how. I'm not sure
129
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.919
how she would react if she if
she says, if she calls me into
130
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.039
the room because there's a scorpion,
I take off my flip flop, reach
131
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.639
back and smash it, and then
I turn and walk away and then flip
132
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.320
the flip flop over my shoulder Action
Star style and then say, you clean
133
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.840
up the mess. I'll see her. I just heard her chuckle from the
134
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.200
out the room. I don't think
that's gonna fly. Try try try doing
135
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.240
that and go make me a sandwich. Try. I'd rather I'd rather wake
136
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:41.799
up surrounded by scorpions. You're in
the Treehouse. Visit us online at treehouseonair
137

Brooks Plumbing into the tree House now,
138
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.159
because I know that she's not busy
doing anything else right now. The number
139
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.759
four Brooks Plumbing for any and all
of you are plumbing ones in need?
140
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.879
Is of course two one, four, three, six, eight thirty eight
141
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.320
eight I say that, of course, I'm kidding because it's very cold.
142
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.360
It has been cold, and is
this in the plumbing business, Jaqueline,
143
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.799
what would be referred to as you
know, like plumbing season or a frozen
144
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.080
pipe season. It's plumbing season.
So because we didn't have a lot any
145
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.759
that I'm aware of rolling blackouts in
Texas, there have been significantly less freeze
146
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:28.559
breaks on water lines. But shockingly, what I'm seeing now is frozen sewer
147
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:35.000
stoppages or frozen pea traps. So
water or let's just go with the stoppage
148
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.360
like so, a stoppage will get
stuck somewhere in a pipe in a second
149
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.440
story of a home and it froze, and that homeowner is trying to drip
150
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.720
their faucets in that upstairs bathroom,
but the sewer drain is just slowly but
151
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.120
surely filling with water. And then
we've been seeing it leaking from up to
152
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.879
down. So it's raining kind of
clean, kind of dirt, dirty water
153
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.279
inside their houses. And that's a
matter of breaking it up with the sewer
154
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.639
machine and attempting to push it through. I've seen two of those this year,
155
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.559
and I'm like, wow, that's
interesting. But I want to talk
156
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.399
about just for two seconds ingenuity.
I went to Walmart on Friday looking for
157
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.279
hose bib covers, couldn't find any, bought a pair of women's muckluck socks.
158
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.240
Sorry that's the baby beagle barking,
and wrapped my hose bibs in the
159
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.360
muckluck socks, and then wrapped the
muckluck socks in grocery bags. And I
160
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.480
was like, yeah, that'll do. And my old nineteen seventies farmhouse is
161
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.480
doing just fine. So you just
be ingenious and think outside of the boxes.
162
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.960
The key to survival. That is
a great one, the muckluck socks.
163
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.480
I like that. There was one. I've also seen people do the
164
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.600
when they couldn't find the regular hose
bib covers. Is I've heard waaburger cups
165
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:54.440
can also do wonders. You can
do that, but you have to surround
166
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.320
it. So if you get the
waterburger cup, shove newspaper or shove like
167
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.279
think like shavings, like would sawdust? Almost gotcha? Okay, I'm busy,
168
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.840
Yes you are. She's not too
busy for you to give Brooks Plumbing

189
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.600
did a quick sweep of the house. No scorpions that I can see,
190
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:02.480
but sleeping the last couple of days
has been interesting because like every little like
191
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.159
slight twinge or tickle, like I
feel like whether it's on my foot or
192
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.559
like in my hair, I felt
like, I think, is that one?
193
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.519
Is that? Is that a scorpion? Is that the one that shed
194
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.919
its skin and left it on my
shorts? Yes, yeah, yeah,
195
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:25.159
that's exactly what it is. Thanks. Yeah, it's a really diabolical scorpion
196
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.639
that that shed and then he made
his way into your house put it on
197
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.679
your It's very very like the scorpion
mafia. Like he just left you a
198
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.320
little like hey, here we go, and then he left and it's like
199
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.600
he'll never be able to sleep right
again. I also I think they also
200
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.559
they naturally they shed when they have
babies. Yeah, I've heard that too.
201
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.639
You're not You're not helping my sleep
problems because as it is, we
202
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.679
already we already check under the sheets, you know, just just because where
203
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.799
we live. Yeah, on Saint
John. We're up on Bordeaux Mountain,
204
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:06.480
and we learned recently that the elevation
where we live is called the moist forest,
205
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.680
and that apparently is is popular among
all sorts of critters, and that
206
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.680
includes you know, scorpions, but
you know, anything else. So we
207
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.160
will check under the sheets, under
the under the covers for anything that might
208
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.880
be lying in wait. That forest
has got to be like ninety mail though.
209
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.079
I'm glad you said it because I
was thinking it because it's because it's
210
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:48.079
moist the that's that's that just sounds
like so that a white person named it.
211
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:56.200
That that's what we were told,
we live in the moist forest.
212
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:02.279
That be part of your mailing that
dress, that would be amazing. Number
213
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:11.559
one moist forest Lane, moist Forest. I come from the moist forest.
214
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:22.079
I just walk out looking like swamp
thing. Yeah, I was just looking
215
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:23.920
it up and you check onder the
sheets. That's great, but they're known
216
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.079
and their babies are known to grow
under the other side of the pillow,
217
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.759
the cool side. We check that
too. We also check on we check
218
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.720
under the sheet, we check under
the blanket, we check under the pillows.
219
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.319
I will check under the bed.
The thing is, though, because
220
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:42.359
of all the different critters that we
have seen, I'm now at the point
221
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:52.079
where that I'm even looking for camel
spiders, just because at this point I
222
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.839
think anything is possible. We've heard
over the years being on the radio service
223
00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.839
members coming back from Afghanistan or Iraq, and we've seen photos of the camel
224
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.880
spiders and how freaky those are.
They look like the face huggers and alien.
225
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.319
So I'm really at this point I
don't know what's going to come out
226
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.400
of the moist forest. It will
be a camel spider. I mean,
227
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:17.279
it's the name camel moist. They
don't go together, they don't. That's
228
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.839
a scorpion. Oh ot, you
know, that's match made in heaven.
229
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.799
You know. I don't feel good, but there is something that will make
230
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.880
me feel at least slightly better.
What is that? Dan? That would
231
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:42.559
be birthdays that segue really stunned.
Oh no, yeah, I went there.
232
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.839
That was good. That's so.
Yeah, apparently there's a lot of
233
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.680
brain decay at the moist forest level. All right, Today is Fred Day,
234
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:57.359
January nineteenth, twenty twenty four.
Birthdays today, let's celebrate and say
235
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:04.480
happy birthday to Olympic gold medalist and
Dancing with the Stars champion season eight that
236
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.839
is Sean Johnson. She is thirty
two today. She actually won season eight
237
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:14.559
of Dancing with the Stars when she
was seventeen, which, after being an
238
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.680
Olympic gold medalist, probably seem pretty
damn easy. Why you talk. Not
239
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.880
a whole lot of pressure packed,
you know situations on Dancing with the Stars,
240
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:30.359
at least in comparison to you know, gymnastics. We've also got Stephanie
241
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:36.000
from full House and Fuller House.
Jody Sweeten, she turns forty two today.
242
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.480
Wow, didn't she have like a
meth thing? Didn't she have a
243
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:47.599
She's like, like like many Hollywood
child stars, she's had She's had some,
244
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.839
you know, some struggles. Okay, but specifically it was meth.
245
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:57.920
I don't remember. Yeah, I
don't want to get sued, but maybe
246
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:04.200
maybe meth. Yeah, she would
if it was meth. I will say
247
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.640
she's one of the few people.
She's one of the few people that came
248
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:14.680
out of a meth problem looking better
than when she went in. Okay,
249
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.960
yeah, uh, she she retained
her teeth or got new ones. I
250
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:23.680
have no idea. Okay, she
maintained a heartbeat, so you know that
251
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:33.279
she gives her an edge, asked
Dana Plato. Oh yeah, I drop
252
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.640
on Dana Plato right on her grave. All right. De Drea de Mateo
253
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:44.240
from Amazon's Paradise City. Most of
us remember her as Adriana on The Sopranos.
254
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.640
She was also on Sons of Anarchy. She is fifty two today.
255
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:56.000
Sean Wayans, brother of Damon too
many Williams's sorry, it's Damon Wayne's son,
256
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:03.400
right or nephew. No, Well, Sean is is That's what it
257
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.599
is. Are the brothers. Okay, got it? So Sean Wayans,
258
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.400
he's fifty three today. He was
in White Chicks, Little Man, and
259
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.519
Scary Movie. I believe it was
Scary movie that had one of the more
260
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.720
memorable death scenes. That was one
where he goes into the bathroom uh and
261
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.960
uh sticks his ear up to the
glory hole, and and and the greener
262
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:33.640
shirts through his brain talk about a
memorable death. Well, that's that's the
263
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:41.480
one I definitely remember. Other birthdays
today Marcy Playground singer John Wozniak is fifty
264
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:47.240
three today. Also Paul mccrane.
You don't You probably don't know him by
265
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:51.279
his name, but you'll know him
by his face. He's sixty three today.
266
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.000
He was doctor Romano on er he's
on with the red hair and bald
267
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.839
I guess side red hair and bald
on top. But I I'm not sure,
268
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.559
Raj, if you saw this movie
or not. But I know Trey
269
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.079
and I have. We know him
best as the guy that RoboCop melted.
270
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.160
Did not see it. He was
one of the bad guys. He was
271
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:19.160
one of the henchmen that killed Murphy
in RoboCop. And then when RoboCop started
272
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.680
to become more sentient and realizing that, oh I was, I was a
273
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:30.720
person once and he goes back and
eliminates the entire gang that murdered him.
274
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:37.599
Birthday boy was the one that was
the one that RoboCop melted. Was he
275
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.599
on twenty four as well? Was
he in the season of twenty four?
276
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.440
He might have been, He might
have been. He was also He was
277
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:52.400
also in the classic nineteen eighty film
Fame. Yes, yes, he wasn't
278
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.319
twenty four. He wasn't twenty four. I know he's he always plays like
279
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.799
on Er. He was like the
super arrogant. He was the one that
280
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.559
everybody hated. And then he I
think he lost his arm. I think
281
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:04.920
in one of the episodes. Oh, you're right, I see it here
282
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:10.400
he was Jack Bauer's brother Gream on
twenty four. That's right. Yeah,
283
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.599
So Paul mccrane died in Er.
Like the way he was killed made it
284
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.960
seem like he was in a contract
dispute with the producers and they decided,
285
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.680
not only are we not giving you
that raise, we're gonna kill you dead,
286
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.640
dead dead, And they went to
the writers and said kill him dead.
287
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:30.680
And so he was killed off in
Er by a helicopter that crashed on
288
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.480
top of him. Yes, yeah, that's uh, that's when you've pissed
289
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:40.359
off the writers. It's like what's
her name on Gray's Anatomy, the the
290
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.519
pretty the girl who was in Knocked
Up. Yeah, I can't remember her
291
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.400
name, but she she did an
interview where she was talking about the writers,
292
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:49.920
and so they're like, oh,
okay, We're gonna give you a
293
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:56.640
brain to her that makes you have
sex with the ghost enjoy, and then
294
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:03.839
they killed her off. That was
it was a believable scene. We're gonna
295
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:08.680
Paul mcgrade's IMDb. The thing that
really stands out on that that really it's
296
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:15.599
a forgotten blunder of TV history.
Cop Rock. Oh oh, Stephen Bochko,
297
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.640
No, what was cop Rock?
Was it a musical? Remember,
298
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.559
I believe correctly, Trey check this
on the IMDb. As you're looking at
299
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:29.000
it. I want to say this
came out. It was either eighty nine
300
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.680
or ninety. I'm gonna go ninety. I'm gonna go the Fall of ninety.
301
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.400
It was cop Rock. So it
was it was sort of like,
302
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.279
so you know Law and Order,
right, the first part of the show
303
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.440
is the detectives, and the second
that's the law, and the second half
304
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:48.960
is the order where they're all in
court and the cases decided. That's what
305
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.680
cop Rock was before Law and Order
existed. They had the police and they
306
00:25:52.680 --> 00:26:00.200
had the courts. But they sang
it was a musical. No, this
307
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:06.000
is what happens when Hollywood gives too
much power to one person. Stephen Botchko,
308
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:11.079
I forgot what else he had done
he was so successful, might have
309
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.240
been Hill Story Blues. He was
so successful that that Hollywood said, yes,
310
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.839
you can do cop Rock. Yeah, maybe he was ahead of his
311
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:30.680
time. Maybe it could have aired
after Glee. You know sometimes sometimes what
312
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.359
do they say, not only in
real estate, but maybe in Hollywood location
313
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.000
location location. Maybe it's like if
it was ABC or whatever it was that
314
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.000
was uh that had cop Rock,
it was just the wrong channel. If
315
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.640
they had it on like the Disney
Channel after you know, the High School
316
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.480
Musical, or on Fox after Glee, Like ro just had a shot Glee
317
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.839
cop Rock the voice like it would
have been beautiful, Like it would have
318
00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:00.400
been just a marriage of horribleness.
Uh cop Rock. You know That's that's
319
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.640
again what makes me laugh about Hollywood
is he wanted to do a meeting with
320
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.960
executives that were sitting around the table
and then what do you got there,
321
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:07.640
Stephen? I'm sure they just called
him botch? What do you got botch?
322
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:12.119
And he's like, all right,
cops that sing and they went take
323
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.359
a bagload of money, get out
of here. That's why that's why you're
324
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.400
doing I am I am with you. I don't understand how it is some
325
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:23.039
things ever get greenlit in Hollywood unless
it is some sort of coked out fever
326
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:33.960
dream. So here are here are
some of the Stephen Botchko successes right before
327
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.400
Cop Rock. Are you ready?
You have Hill Street Blues eighty one to
328
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.279
eighty seven, La Law eighty six
to ninety four, So he was still
329
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:47.559
in the height of La Law when
Cop Rock hit the air. He also
330
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:52.599
had one year of Doogie Howser MD
under his belt because that started the year
331
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:59.160
before Cop Rock, so he was
on a good run. They were like,
332
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.599
yeah, you want to do a
cop musical TV show. Here's like
333
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.200
you said, ros, here's your
here's you a bag of money to do
334
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:11.839
it. Get out of here.
But what's next? Uh less unless the
335
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:18.319
studio person or the network whatever it
was, had a beef with him and
336
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.839
said no you, and for whatever
reason, Boko comes like I got a
337
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.359
new idea, and instead of saying
no, he just like, go for
338
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:33.119
it. No one, No one
remembers the studio executive that greenlit Cop Rock.
339
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.720
But I mean I remember that it
was a Botchko baby. Yeah,
340
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.160
I'm gonna have my own show.
It's gonna be it's gonna be uh singing
341
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.880
doctors, and it's gonna be it's
it's yeah, it's gonna it's. It's
342
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.000
called singer. But at the end
the e r is capitalized. Oh you're
343
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.119
not ready for it? Oh I
get it? Singing in the er uh
344
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.880
huh. Yeah, that's right,
because that's exactly what you would want in
345
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:02.240
a medical emergency song and and and
patients busting out into song. I wish
346
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.960
I was a dead man, What
killed you? Scorpions in my bed?
347
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.240
That would be fantastic. Sing you
or singer, That's what it's gonna be.
348
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.119
It's good. I can only I
feel like they've already sent the money.
349
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.400
I'm just waiting for it to arrive
at my doorstop. I'll let you
350
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.839
guys know. I kind of think
though that maybe that's what ABC did with
351
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.000
their show Good Doctor, with you
know, the special needs doctor. The
352
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.759
I guess he's just playing an autistic
doctor. It's like, did they try
353
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.240
to get away with spelling it doctor
with an er as well? Or and
354
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:47.880
they were corrected? Ah, that
would have been good too. You're onto
355
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.839
something we should collaborate on more show
ideas. Hey, we can't do any
356
00:29:52.839 --> 00:30:03.839
worse than cop Rock. I'm not
sure. I wouldn't speak so fast.
357
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:15.319
You're in the treehouse. Visit is
online at freehouse on air dot com.
358
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:21.400
Time out to talk to Carrie Cook
from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. I
359
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.680
guess I wore out my welcome with
Daniel and he's now seeking you on me.
360
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:29.240
Carrie, What did I do to
deserve you think? Did anything?
361
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:30.640
Well? I don't know, man, It guess it depends you might have
362
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.400
done something. Let's start with this. The number to call you at COOKDFW
363
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.640
Roofing and Restoration is, of course
eight three three Cook DFW. Get that
364
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:44.720
free roof inspection, especially after all
the cold weather we had. Those cold
365
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.759
temperatures can do some numbers on the
roof. You want to have it checked
366
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.400
out to see if it's in good
shape or not. You give Carrie and
367
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:53.920
Daniel a call eight three three Cook
DFW. They'll come out and check it
368
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.039
for you for free. Outside of
that, I'm curious. The big news
369
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:02.920
in Dallas this week is, of
course, Mike McCarthy is keeping his job
370
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.000
as head coach of the Cowboys.
And I know you and Daniel are big
371
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:11.599
Cowboys fans just like we are.
So box feelings. I'm okay with it.
372
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.960
I don't think that he should be
fired. Interesting And why is that?
373
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.680
Well, I mean killing Moore called
plays for how long? And he
374
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:19.799
got to keep his job for how
long? Mmm? Okay, you know.
375
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:22.480
I mean, if you're gonna fire
because the play call is going to
376
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.759
be bys, I think you need
to revisit your players. It's it's not
377
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.000
so much the coaching, it's the
execution on the player's side. It wasn't
378
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.240
really pretty the other night. It
definitely there. You were at the game.
379
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:40.680
Yes, well did you boo?
We left? Wow? You didn't
380
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.119
even waste time booing. You just
said, screw it, we're out.
381
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.720
It was it was just it was
embarrassing. I was actually hoping, I
382
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.680
said this on the Football podcast.
I was actually hoping. I wish that
383
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:53.599
all the fans had been so angry
they booed so and would have booed so
384
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:59.519
loudly it would have made an actual
hole in the roof as opposed to a
385
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.480
planned one. And then that way
you and Daniel could have slipped Jerry a
386
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.920
couple of business cards. There you
go, Right, come on, Jerry,
387
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.359
we'll give you that free roof inspection. There you go. I like
388
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.960
it, so they will come take

400
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:14.680
We were talking about cop Rock creator
Stephen Botchko, and there was a
401
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.359
couple of other shows that were also
misses. Even he even though he's had
402
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:23.519
some obvious successes with Hillstory Blues La
Law NYPD Blue Doogie Howser. There was
403
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:31.119
another show called Raising the Bar that
only lasted one year two thousand and eight
404
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:36.319
to two thousand and nine. Based
on the photo and the title Raising the
405
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:40.319
Bar, I'm guessing it was a
legal drama, although based on our mashup
406
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:47.319
history, I'm guessing it could have
been lawyers doing ballet, which I mean
407
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:52.640
if for the guy that had,
you know, cops singing in the streets,
408
00:33:52.640 --> 00:34:00.000
then why why would legal ballet be
you know, a stretch? Just
409
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:06.039
realized the pun there. But there
was another show on here that I remember
410
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.159
watching that did not last very long, And when I give you the title
411
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:12.840
and the premise of it, you're
going to understand why, because it's another
412
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:17.639
great example of why did Hollywood think
this was going to work? That is
413
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:24.079
the show that came and went in
two thousand and five called Blind Justice,
414
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.760
And I remember watching this show.
I don't know why, but this was
415
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:37.360
a NYPD detective who gets injured in
the line of duty and is blinded,
416
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:43.719
but he returns to work with his
disability to still solve crimes, despite his
417
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.800
fellow detectives being wary of working with
him because he may not see the bad
418
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:52.559
guys coming. That's not me saying
that. That was the blurb on Google
419
00:34:54.679 --> 00:35:00.519
and it actually what's that tray?
Blind Justice is what it was called Blind
420
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.199
Justice, and I remember the I
like the actor who starred in and maybe
421
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.719
that's why I watched it. His
name is Ron Elderd and he was in
422
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:08.679
He's been in a number of things. I don't know if you guys have
423
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:12.239
seen Deep Impact as many times as
I have. He played one of the
424
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.840
astronauts and Deep Impact. He was
also in Super eight Blackhawk Down. He
425
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:21.079
was also in Sleepers back in ninety
six. But looking at the other cast
426
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:25.360
members of Blind Justice won Frank Grillo, who went on to some Marvel success
427
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:31.440
as Captain America's nemesis. Oh okay, yeah, and he also had a
428
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:40.280
turn as the Punisher. Oh who
didn't. So they made Blind Justice and
429
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:46.039
it failed, and they still put
out Ben affleckt as Daredevil. See again
430
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:52.880
ahead of its time? What year
was this? Blind Justice was two thousand
431
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:59.559
and five? Oh so a year
ahead of its time? Now, because
432
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.719
I don't think personally Ben Affleck is
Daredevil not my favorite. I thought that
433
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.840
actually came out in two thousand and
three, So that that actually came out
434
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.599
before Blind just so they saw it
and they still did it stupid. Yeah,
435
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.159
well they were trying. They were
probably trying to capitalize on it,
436
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:19.320
right, and so they're like,
hey, they made a movie, why
437
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:22.440
don't we make a serious I got
into a discussion with the Hollywood execs about
438
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:23.880
this. I'm like, how do
you guys come up with? What is
439
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:28.159
it? Like? You have n
CIS and then you'll have whatever the other
440
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:31.239
one was the they're ones, Oh
yeah, the other ones, and they're
441
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:36.800
like c n CIS Louise, New
Orleans. Yeah, but then like they
442
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.360
had CSI and then they had something
else. And I asked in Chase if
443
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:43.599
they go to city to city Yeah, yeah, And then I asked I
444
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:45.599
was like I was asking one of
the execs at CBS. I was like,
445
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:46.960
hey, so how does it work? They go, we watched like
446
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:52.000
if there's some groundbreaking new thing like
Brianca Chopra and Quantico. Right, They're
447
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.559
like, well, let's see if
it works. And then if that works,
448
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:58.800
the next year, they flew in
all these actors from India. We're
449
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:01.239
in Hollywood because they were trying to
read Every network was trying to recreate it
450
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:05.559
because of how well it did.
So that's how it goes. So if
451
00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.039
they saw this, you know,
they saw Daredevil and it was like,
452
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.280
oh my god, it made so
much money. Okay, let's put it
453
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:13.159
into a TV show. So that's
how, you know. I don't know
454
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:19.000
how cop Rock happened. I don't
know that's the same. I'm sure there
455
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:23.119
was another something musically that was very
popular at that time. And because,
456
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:30.639
like you said, with a chopra
Quantico. Yeah yeah, well then they
457
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:32.880
put her she's the one who married
the Jonas brother, right, yes,
458
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:36.880
yeah, So then they did Citadel, which I don't know if you saw
459
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:40.599
that, Yeah, not great,
Okay, yeah, but they which is
460
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:44.760
kind of like basically spin off of
Quantico. Well yeah, it's basically,
461
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.360
you know, take one good idea
and we'll beat the crap out of it
462
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:52.000
and you go get nine other shows
that are horrible. Man, are you
463
00:37:52.039 --> 00:38:01.159
still talking about Hollywood? Are you
talking about radio? Well? Uh,
464
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:09.199
speaking of bad television. Trey sent
me a link that I'm not quite sure
465
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:16.800
how to explain or even set this
up, because this is so stupid that
466
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:22.480
it belongs squarely here in the treehouse, and I am ashamed that we haven't
467
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:27.840
had it in here sooner it is. It's probably I will say that it's
468
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.760
probably the most unscripted. Who's on
first interaction? I think I've ever seen
469
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:45.039
Trey? If you could set this
clip up for us so I can't remember
470
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.800
the guy's name. He's a contributor
on Fox News and he's on Laura Ingram
471
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.800
show. He oftentimes I believe he's
an attorney, and it'll come in and
472
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.639
you know, we just make different
points about culture and you know, things
473
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.519
that are going on. Okay,
and this is Laura Ingram, Laura Ingram
474
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:09.079
on her ship. Yeah, okay, hang on, watchuring an episode of
475
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.800
You where measles came up? Wait
wait, wait when did I mention measles?
476
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:22.360
I don't know it was on you? What? What was on me?
477
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:28.000
What are you talking about? Right? I never was on you.
478
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:34.000
We never did a we never did
a measles in vaccine episode of my Is
479
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.639

what you're talking about. It was on
480
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.960
you, it was on you.
I've never had Raymond, I've never had
481
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.559
measles. What are you talking about? It's stupid. It was an episode
482
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:51.119
of a show, Laura. What's
it called you? It's called you?
483
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:55.320
I've never done a show on measles. I just completely give up up called
484
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.519
you on Netflix. There's a show
called Laura on an f Oh my god,
485
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.519
I'm moving on to a Dell.
I can't explain this to it.
486
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:07.559
You know, I was watching an
episode. I love that. That's it.
487
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.440
I'm moving on to a Dell.
I just I mean she I can't
488
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:15.079
even did she ever? That is
That's the saddest ship I've ever heard.
489
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:20.239
You know, you know it was
bad because you could actually see facial expressions
490
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:27.920
on her boatox ridden face. Yeah, when frustration can cut through the botox.
491
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:35.039
Yeah, that that was. That
was those stupid botulism gave up.
492
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:45.440
Yeah, I can't just test.
Oh man, I needed that after this
493
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:52.719
week. Oh man, god,
can you please send to me. I
494
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:57.280
will happily send that to you once
again. I mean this, this is
495
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:00.559
the place you come for stupid.
I don't even know. I don't know
496
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:06.760
how recent that was, doesn't matter. The stupid is forever. And speaking
497
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.519
of that, we will see you
for the next episode right here in the Trios
