0:57 It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the tree house. I'm Dan O'Malley along with Trey trend home and Jerry Caldwell. And we are also joined. Well, if you're listening to this on the free episode of the tree house show, you can't see it, but we can. Our ultimate tree house subscribers are alive and they are already popping off in the chat. Good to see everybody. Jasmine is in Linda, Mackie, Diego, and more. Great to see you guys this morning. We are going to start today in an interesting place. The time I effed up by using Nair on my butt. Jerry, that is a really loud and what sounds a little bit like a knowing laugh. Do you have experience in Nairing your butt? Oh....

1:58 All right, you know what? That's what this place is all about is embarrassing yourself. Right. Um, not, not, not my butt. No, I was looking for, for, for, yes, for, for an alternative to shaving because that, you know, a couple of days afterwards when it's first starts to grow back in, that is just some itchy, itchy business. And so I thought maybe why not use a debilitary and, um, So it's got skin softening agents and that whole thing. And it's like, all right, well, we'll try that. And then? Don't. From the treehouse to you, our public service announcement, don't Nair your junk.

2:44 No. Well, I have never used Nair, and luckily I don't have to. Yeah. But... I have always understood that timing is everything with Nair. If you leave it on too long, you are likely to get burns. This is true. I know that my sister used it for her legs and stuff growing up, so I'm kind of familiar with Nair. I've tried it many, many, many, many, many years ago. On my back, thank you very much, and the shoulders.

3:25 This was like before like the laser treatment. You shut up, you. I've never put that in my butt. So, yeah, I will say there is like a time there is a window that you need to be within one. You need to go beyond a certain time to make sure it works. And then you want to make sure you don't leave it on too long. So correct. So you don't get the chemical burns. Jerry, did you leave your Nair on your junk on for too long? A little bit. Well, let's see if your experience with Nairing your undercarriage was as bad as this guy's. And the age at which he tried it tracks when you're in that experimental phase of Nair. I'm a 22-year-old male. Yes, you are.

4:19 I decided to use Nair hair remover on my butt a week ago. I usually use it on my pubic area because I like being smooth and just naturally hate body hair. I find it disgusting for some reason. Don't know why. While fiddling with my nads, you know what? Real quick, I'd like to just pull back out of the piece that I'm reading here and just compliment this young feller by keeping up Old World... syntax and language. A 22-year-old saying, while fiddling with my nads. You know, Gen Z is, not all hope is lost. Back to this young man. While fiddling with my nads, which by the way, back out of it now, you can't say that phrase without saying it with some sort of toying.

5:10 That's, yeah. While fiddling with my nads, I figured I'd finally do my backside too because I hate having hair in my crack. And no, not for sexual reasons. Nobody's visiting my back door. Okay, bro. He says, long story short. Yeah, okay. He says, long story short. I left it on way too long. I usually do seven minutes for the front. So I assume the back can handle the same. It could not. I got a terrible chemical burn. That was fine at first after cleaning up, but like 15 minutes later, it randomly started burning like the sun was personally licking my ass crack and I suffered for a couple of days. Uh-huh.

5:56 Uh-huh. Seven minutes? This kid's a good writer. Like the sun was personally licking my ass crack. I can feel it. He says the burn healed and I'm fine now, but my main problem now is my fart. He says, every time I fart, I feel like I just crapped myself because my cheeks are completely smooth now. Every fart feels like a wet fart due to having zero friction. To make matters worse, just when you thought they couldn't get worse, the stakes get raised. To make matters worse, they smell way worse now. It's like the hair was trapping most of the odor before, but now it's just pure shit smell hitting the room immediately.

6:45 Oh, man. And the too-long-didn't-read version of it at the end. Nared my butt crack, got a chemical burn, and now every fart feels wet and smells like a biohazard. I think there's something else at play here, because I don't think your ass hair affects your fart smell. Yeah, it's not like a filter. I mean, unless you look like a gorilla, you're so hairy, maybe that makes a difference. Yeah. The smell. I don't see that being affected. I will say that if, uh, you change a whole lot in there, things will feel differently. That's for sure. That's part of the reason guys started doing the junk shaving and trimming in the first place. It's like, once some of that was gone, you're like, Ooh, I can feel things that I couldn't feel before. And it's not, um, tell us about it, Dan, you know, you baby seal shut up. Um, But now when it comes to the backside, like if you're going all the way back in there, yeah, I mean, some things are going to feel differently if there's less things in there.

7:52 Like what, Dan? Hair, Trey. Well, it feels differently. Strap? When you toot, Trey. Thank you very much. He is right about that. It's like, because when you do need to toot, it feels a little differently because you don't have the hair back there. All right. Wouldn't know the difference. I've don't really have any hair back there at all. So try it, put something back there, like grab some of the hair off your dog, shove it in your butt and fart. And then tell me if it feels different. Also don't do it when Katie's at home, Jerry, you don't want her walking in on that. Cause you'll never go back. Yeah. So it, That part, I think he's right.

8:40 The smell thing, I'm with you, Trey. I don't see how that would make any difference whatsoever. Also, don't experiment with Nair. I'm pretty sure it says on the bottle, like, don't use in intimate areas. Yeah, that's chemicals and my junk or my backside or my taint. No, thank you. I'll stay old school and just stick with a razor. Yeah. That area is very tender. It's very thin skin. It's also lots of extra nerves. Let's not put chemicals in there. The worst is if you ever were using Bengay or something of that sort and you didn't wash your hands and you touched your junk. That was excruciating. Cutting jalapenos also, I have found, made that mistake. Also excruciating. So I'll pass on the chance of chemical burns.

9:39 Yep. Let's count off the things. I wish I had my bell, but I'm on the road today. Let's count off the things that we've actually done to our junk because it's something we've done to our hands. Have you ever had spicy junk, i.e. jalapeno junk? Yes, me here. Trey, you've had that, right? Yep. Yep. Wing junk like buffalo junk from the sauce yep yep ding there uh not you jerry. I'm not big on the buffalo sauce on the wings. Well asian zing yeah. I have had hot wings that uh. Uh-huh yeah Spicy crab boil or crawfish party, crawfish boil fingers in junk.

10:26 Cajun burn. Okay. Yeah. Cajun burn. Yep. Also known, gives a new meaning to swamp ass. Okay. What else? The Bengay, like the muscle rub, lidocaine. Yep. Done that. Have you guys ever done it with biofreeze? That's a more recent one I've actually, I've done. Where it's like, I did the bio freeze and I was wiping, either rubbing it in on my back or something, or ironically, like wiping some on my wife's shoulder. And then I went to pee or something. And then I was like, ooh, my junk's really tingly now. I'm trying to think if I'm missing any. I feel like there's more that I'm forgetting, but yeah. Thoroughly wash your hands.

11:13 Do not forget. Yeah, there are two things. You'll forget once. Although I don't think the junk, but there's also, there is a secondary thing of things not to do when you've been touching spicy things or been gay, anything that is take your contacts out. Oh no. I did that after a spicy crab boil and yeah, that was not fun. I'm looking around to see if Tara's anywhere by. It's like, we're saying the things that you shouldn't do with spicy fingers. On the other hand, when you do have spicy fingers, you know. If you really want to see your squirm.

12:07 You dirty dog. Yeah. Got the spicy jerky of Bucky's, did we? Anyways. Okay, good. She didn't hear that. Uh, checking on the chat here. Uh, the Nair, the double AJ, Dan really backed into that one. Yes. Yes, I did. Thank you, AJ, Linda things. I will not be doing. And Mackie brings up a great point. He's like, yeah, I don't have to see the hair back there. So I don't mind if it stays. It's a good point. But if your significant others says it comes at you with a bottle of stuff, say I have to be back here. Therefore, we're going to clean up.

12:49 Then you have a discussion on your hands. Here we go. How does that discussion go, Dan? One-sided, mostly. As it should. All right. We are now going to awkwardly segue from button air to should we normalize sleeping in separate bedrooms? Not separate beds. Separate rooms. Let's get Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration into the treehouse. 833-COOK-DFW is the phone number to get your free roof inspection and property review scheduled. The website, cookdfw.com. I'm going to say some scary words, Daniel.

13:29 Super El Nino. And the effect that is going to have on weather, especially in the North Texas area. You know, You're right. We just are officially in going into the Super El Nino. The reason why is because it's warmer than a regular El Nino. And it does prelude that we will have a wetter, higher rain percentage than a normal year, or shall we say on El Nino. So there are. Some differences, speculations. Nothing is set in stone. This is not a guarantee that we're going to have a deluge of water. for the next year. I mean, that's just not what it means. Scientific data says, hey, we might have a wetter than normal. We could have more storms.

14:20 It could be just a. Lot of rain. We all need to go out and build arcs. I don't know. But I mean, be prepared. The moral of the story is every day you live in North Texas, especially in North Texas, be prepared. Know how your home is sitting. Know how your roof looks. Know how your Windows are working. Know if your doors have holes in them. I mean, just know your home. Know your home. Call us out. We want to educate you. We will come around, walk you around, show you things that you should know, and then we can help you with getting them taken care of. And no pressure, all education. And Daniel and his fine team at Cook DFW will take care of you, the homeowner, with very, very gentle hands. I know because I've been in them. 833-COOK-DFW. That sound bad? Sounded bad. 833-COOK-DFW. Get that scheduled today. The website, cookdfw.com. This lady says she's 58 years old. She just had the most romantic weekend in years, and she credits sleeping in separate bedrooms for it.

15:22 Is this what dating in the 50s is going to be like now, Trey? I can, you know, I can see a scenario. OK, well, let's see if the scenario in your head matches up to this real life example. So this lady, 58, she says, I feel like I've discovered something everyone else probably figured out years ago. She says 58 female divorced for six years and have been seeing a lovely man who's 61 for about four months. She says last weekend we went away together for the first time. Nothing fancy, just a little rental cottage about two hours from home, two bedrooms, because that happened to be what was available.

16:04 Friday evening, everything's wonderful. Made dinner together, drank some wine, sat outside until it got cold. Eventually, we went to bed. Then neither of us slept. Because this is night one, they slept in the same room in the same bed. She says, I'm a light sleeper. I run hot and I need a fan going. He snores a little, gets up several times during the night, and apparently sleeps approximately two inches from the edge of the mattress. We spent half the night trying not to disturb each other. Saturday morning, we're sitting there looking like two people who have just survived an international flight in economy. He finally says, can I ask you something without you taking it personally? Oh God, here we go. Would you mind if I slept in the other bedroom tonight? I really like you, but I sleep terribly with another person in the bed. She says, I nearly kissed him across the breakfast table. Turns out he'd been worrying about asking because his ex-wife considered sleeping separately and a sign that something was wrong with the marriage. Meanwhile, I've spent the last six years sleeping diagonally across a queen-size bed with the fan blasting directly at my face.

17:10 I wasn't exactly excited about giving that up either. So Saturday night, a wonderful evening, plenty of affection. And then at some point, he kissed me goodnight and went to his room. I slept eight glorious hours, she says. Sunday morning, he brought me coffee in bed, looking like a man who had also rediscovered the joy of unconsciousness. And somehow that was more romantic to me than waking up tangled together with a numb arm and a headache. She says, I'm not suggesting everyone should do this, but I find it hilarious that at our age, we still sometimes, we are still sometimes afraid to admit perfectly normal things because we think they're not romantic enough. Anyone else discover dating in your 50s gets significantly better when you stop trying to recreate what dating looked like at 25? Trey, how would you feel if this came up in a dating podcast?

18:00 Number one, this is why I have a king size bed. So there's plenty of room for two people that you, you have your own side. Um, I I'm torn on this one, honestly, because like my last relationship, we slept great together, uh, relationship for that, which was terribly dysfunctional. She constantly slept on the sofa or whatever. And I became an issue. Um, so there's a happy medium somewhere. And now a lot of times that was because she was just pissed off and not because we didn't sleep well together. Um, there was a time I, if, if I didn't sleep well, then being in bed with somebody was going to make me, you know, even sleep worse now through the, you know, miracle of modern pharmacology. Um, I, I sleep, I sleep great, uh, regardless.

18:57 So, but yeah. I know this sounds stupid, but at a certain point, if you didn't sleep well together, I would be all in favor of kind of go to bed together, but at a certain point, one of you goes off and sleeps in the other room. Yeah, I think that's fine. Because we are at an age now where the romance and intimacy of waking up next to somebody, gone. I feel like I've accomplished more if I got a good night's sleep than if whether or not we wake up dreamy eyed across from one another. Cause I don't know when that stops in a relationship, but I don't know if, I mean, I'm, I don't sleep like that anyway.

19:42 So it's like, I can be affectionate, but I'm not affectionate in that way where it's like, and this is what happens with Hollywood. We get lied to, right? It's, oh, we're, we're falling asleep in one another's arms. When in reality, it's like, all right, you may cuddle a little bit before you go to sleep. Then it's like, are you separate? Get to your side and you go to sleep. Cause now, now I got, I've got, I've got something to do now. I need to sleep and I can't sleep like this. I mean, having the option is great. You know, I mean, I snore sometimes. And. You know, her having another actual bed to go to, that's that's a good thing. That makes sense. And that's that's where it's like every every situation is going to be a little bit different.

20:26 And maybe there's a unique situation that is so extreme that maybe it makes sense for you to sleep, not just in separate beds, but in completely separate rooms. Like if suddenly I had horrific sleep apnea as opposed to the mild version that I currently have. and I needed to wear a CPAP that was made for Darth freaking Vader, I would absolutely be like, are you sure? Do you want me to sleep in another room? Because this thing sounds like a compressor. I do not understand how people sleep with CPAPs. I don't either. Both sides. The one having it on and the person next to them. No. I'm afraid in my sleep, I'll reach over and crank it. Yeah. I don't know if that's how they work.

21:09 If that cuts off all airflow. Um, but, uh, it is interesting though, because this is a new extreme because it used to be handful of years ago. People were talking about sleeping in separate beds, kind of like the old school television shows, like in the fifties or something, you know, uh, like Dick Van Dyke, they go to bed and they're in separate beds. Not because that's how people actually slept, but because of TV standards and practices, they, for some reason, weren't allowed to kiss for more than a second and a half. And they had to be in separate beds. That, No, that was fairly common. In real life? The separate bed thing? Oh, yeah. I always thought that was just for TV purposes. No, my grandparents, yeah, they absolutely slept in separate beds.

21:51 Maybe they were onto something. Yeah, I mean... The. Bedroom looks more like a hotel room with a nightstand in between you. Maybe that is a secret sauce. That is exactly how theirs was. So how did we all end up in the same bed? Is it big mattress? Was it a conspiracy to sell big mattresses for inordinate amounts of money? Because he could sell one King for 5,000 versus two twins for 500. I know we'll get them. We'll make them all sleep in the same bed. Well, I mean, at a certain point you have to remember, I don't. And it, I think they probably didn't... Did they make king-size beds back then?

22:41 I don't know. No idea. I just don't know at what point the shift happened. But you also... There's a time and a generation where, for the most part, for a lot of people, sex was for procreation, and that was about it. That's true. It's like, all right, and then go to your bed and sleep. Now, see, for me, I have a tendency to kick in my sleep, as Terry reminded me this morning. Uh, thankfully I remembered this morning. Why? Like when she woke me up, she's like smack, smack, smack. Uh, you're, you're kicking. I was like, okay, sorry. Um, I was chasing something. I was, I was either chasing like a dog or a gerbil or something. Uh, but that's why my legs were moving. I guess I was running in the dream. I was trying to get after it.

23:23 Now I just, I see you like a puppy, you know, they're chasing a rabbit. Apparently that's what I do. It's like, I'm dreaming and my legs, my little legs are going and I have like the cutest little barks. Like I was about to say, yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Yeah, I'm a puppy sleeper. How about that? So, look, if it was really bad and I was kicking her constantly in the middle of the night, it would probably make sense if we did the separate bed thing. But I will say, I can't imagine sleeping in an entirely separate room and thinking our relationship is okay. Well, I know, you know, it's still pretty commonplace if, and usually it's the guy, is a bad snore that someone's going to go, in the other room.

24:07 Yeah. I mean, I've been on trips with guys that I'm like, how the, do your wives put up with that? I mean, it's, I felt the same way. There was one night when I was 15, my dad and my grandfather, uh, drove to Arlington from Oklahoma. They drove to Arlington and watched me play in a baseball game. And then that night we stayed in the hotel off of I 30 and then drove back to Oklahoma for the summer. That one night in that hotel room with three generations of men who all snored and who all could probably win trophies at a snoring competition. I don't know how my mom did it. I don't know how my grandfather's three wives put up with it. I didn't sleep a lick that night in that hotel room. Not one second. Not one second. Those two guys sounded like snoring in stereo at a Metallica meets a Megadeth concert. And Jesus.

25:13 I had one friend that traveled with. And I mean, this is back in my drinking days. I couldn't get drunk enough to sleep through his snoring. You couldn't get so drunk to pass out. Oh, my God. Jesus. Linda in the chat, she says, I sleep talk when I wake up and my husband is on the couch. I know I was having conversations. I don't do that as much as I used to when I was younger, but I used to sleep talk. Like when I was in college, my roommate, Brian, I had the computer in my bedroom. So I might be asleep and he would go in and like, I don't know, doing homework or paper or something on the computer and I'd just be asleep next to him. But I would freak him out because I'd start saying weird stuff in my sleep. And it got so bad where one night, He just started typing on the notepad weird shit I was saying.

26:09 I used to have night terror, so that was a whole other level. Yeah, that's even worse on your part. I have a little bit of sleep apnea. I have a deviated septum. And so one side is worse than the other. And when my allergies are bad or I've had a little too much to drink, my snoring can be really bad. But it's mostly when I sleep on one side as opposed to the other. Sometimes I'll get the soft, gentle hand in my back. Just like a little, hey. Just wake up, roll over, roll over. And then by the third time.

26:54 Sorry. Anyway. All right. So that's a good talk to start off the day. Let's roll into our next deal. Let's do some birthdays, Trey. Okay. Today is Thursday, November 12, 2026. Celebrate today with some celebrity birthdays. Hooray birthdays. Thank you, Jerry. Hey, Steve Huffman is 43. The reason why you should know his name is because he is the co-founder and CEO of Reddit, one of the great online communities in the world. Other birthdays today. Anne Hathaway, who is having herself a hell of a year, is 44. The Princess Diaries, Devil Wears Prada, Les Miserables, and Interstellar. That's all before this year. She was also Catwoman in the Christopher Nolan Batman movies.

27:49 Yeah, she was. Just this year, she had Devil Wears Prada 2, a movie called Verity, which I think kind of tanked. And then she was also opposite Matt Damon in The Odyssey. and I feel like there's something else I'm forgetting. She's had a big. Well, she announced she's going to be in Days of Thunder 2. Yeah, that's another one. She's going to be in Days of Thunder 2 with Tom Cruise. I mean, she's on a run, and it's not like she was on a bad run. It is interesting, though, because I think she was one of those in Hollywood that had gotten a problematic label or something at one point in her career, and I don't really think there was much evidence to point towards it, And now it's like, everybody loves her.

28:32 She's great. And then like, there was no problem at all. I don't know. Maybe it was lies or something. I have no idea, but, uh, phenomenal actors. I'm a big fan. I know there was one, one actor. She really clashed with, but I, I can't think of who it was or what movie it was. But same here. Um, and there's plenty of examples of that around Hollywood where people just clash on set for various reasons. I mean, one of the big examples is Ryan Gosling and, uh, uh, you know, uh, in the notebook Reese. No, that was, uh, um, Rachel McAdams. Yeah. Uh, supposedly the two of them did not get along at all during filming. I think they're okay now. Um, and one of the best worst examples is, uh, Tom Hardy in Mad Max Fury Road opposite Charlize Theron. Apparently those two clashed hard. And I think it's still a problem.

29:32 Tom Hardy has clashed with more than. that. I think that might be a him issue. Yeah. I don't think that's a personality conflict between those two. It's just a Tom Hardy problem. Yeah. Um, and speaking of Ryan Gosling, Ryan Gosling is 46 today. Huh? Yeah. Talk about being on a run. He's on a good run right now. Yeah. And really kind of unlikely action star. I'm a huge fan of Ryan Gosling. Yeah. The Fall Guy movie, every chance I get, I will tell people, if you have not seen the Fall Guy movie, I don't know what happened. I don't know if it was the marketing of it or what. That movie is fantastic.

30:16 It's so much fun and it's funny and it's good action. It's a love letter to Hollywood stuntmen and it's beautiful. Watch the Fall Guy. All right. Speaking of the run that Gosling is on, as Ken in the Barbie movie. It's really, really hard to be Ken in the Barbie movie and kind of steal the movie. And he got real close to it. He's also in the Starfighter movie. That's a Star Wars movie coming out next year. Project Hail Mary was really good. He just had Project Hail Mary, which was fantastic, which made me fall in love with a tiny rock alien.

30:58 You can go back and watch that. dirty dirty um uh and then there's others i'm brain farting on but yeah i mean ryan gosling is on a hell of a run uh and he's married to ava mendez so double thumbs up there other birthdays today oh a scars guard is 46 gustav scars guard i don't know if uh this is from the hollywood scars guard clan where it's stellan and uh bill and is it daddy scars guard who played Eric in the MCU. So I don't know if this is like their cousin Skarsgård or if Skarsgård is like Smith in Sweden. I have no idea. Uh, but this one played Floki on Vikings and he also appeared in Westworld.

31:45 He is part of that Skarsgård clan. That clan, yeah. Yeah, he is. Is he like immediate family or is he like a second Skarsgård? I think he's one of the sons. Okay. Yes. Uh, speaking of, uh, sons and families in Hollywood, uh, Does anyone else have a really hard time typing things in on their phone? It is unreal how many typos I do when I'm just trying to search something. There was an update lately here that made it hard for me to hit the space bar. Yeah, I'm way worse. So in the new season of Terminal List, Luke Hemsworth... reprises his role as Jules Landry that he carried in one of the previous seasons. So the other Hemsworth. This Hemsworth did something that I don't believe the other two Hemsworths have done. Trey, have you seen any of the new season of Terminal List?

32:49 I have not. Well, I don't know if it's Hollywood magic or not, but Luke Hemsworth goes a little full frontal. But not in the sexy way. Okay. More of a Terminalist way. I will say this. The new season of The Terminalist is outstanding. And I actually read the book before I saw the show so far, and it follows the book very, very closely, including how that guy dies. Anyway, highly recommend the new season of Terminalist. And as I get back to birthdays, Gustav Skarsgård, 46. It's got to be an interesting Thanksgiving table.

33:41 They're from a foreign country. I don't think they celebrate Thanksgiving. Well, that really makes it interesting. I think that's just a Thursday. Yeah, just a Thursday in a Skarsgård house. Fair enough. Other birthdays today. Tanya Harding is 56. Wow. Yeah. Sammy Sosa is 58. And for those that don't know, he's kind of white now. Uh, movie documentarian, Michael Moore is 59. Wait, nope. Sorry. Sorry. That's Michael Moore. Michael Moore is the former world heavyweight boxing champion. That's my bad. Was he the one that got knocked out by George Foreman?

34:36 I'm trying to think the last person I could tell you that held the heavyweight boxing title. And then you've got the 10 different ones. The last one I remember was one of the Klitschko's. And that was not recent. Yeah. All right. Other birthdays. Megan Mullally from Will and Grace is 68. She's also from Parks and Rec and Party Down. She's also married to Ron from Parks and Rec. I'm brain farting on his name right now. Damn it. You guys know what I'm talking about. My brain can only hold so much. Jerry, please tell me before I peel my skin off.

35:24 That's Nick Offerman. Nick Offerman, thank you very much. Who, by the way, not only is he a phenomenal actor, he's also a highly skilled... carpenter yes he is yes I mean phenomenal like the dude makes canoes. And oh he makes yeah no he's incredibly talented but I also and just gonna say this is someone that I could have gone without ever seeing them in a gay love scene. Yes season two of the last of us May it go down in infamy. Kind of like Nick Offerman. Was that season two?

36:08 I think that was season one. I thought it was season two. Or wait. No, it was season one. Yeah, you're right. It was season one, but it felt like its own season because it was one dedicated episode to those two guys. Yeah. Man, that.... Did any of y'all finish that? Like... I finished season two, yeah. I haven't seen any of it. I did not enjoy it, but I did finish season two. When they killed off Pedro. And that's the thing. When that happened, we talked a lot about it. It's not like they just killed him off.

36:52 It was sourced in the original gameplay, but that's also part of what made the original video game take a hit on its... sequel is that they killed him and then people hated the game like it sucks and then the tv show did it and the same thing happened. Well and the you just didn't you needed another you needed someone else to really carry the show and none of the other actors actresses were compelling enough to to keep me. Interested yeah not even dad other birthdays neil young is 81 Booker T. Jones is 82, leader of Booker T.

37:35 and the MGs, famous for the instrumental Green Onions. I know I should know that, but. Just. Look it up later. You'll recognize it when you hear it. And finally, last birthday we'll mention today, sports broadcasting legend Al Michaels is 82. Do you believe in miracles? Not just the miracle on ice, but the fact that he's 82 and still calling games. Um, yeah, I mean, I mean, he gets paid a lot to do one game a week. Uh, and, uh, it was noticeably absent actually on Sunday. Um, but yeah, he's, I mean, he's one of the best there is. So you get to that point, you can work as long as.

38:24 You want, especially in, in his case, it's a good idea to keep doing it because it's about the only thing that kind of like I feel like there's a point that you can retire and have a good retirement and not immediately die. But if you go past that point, then you have to keep working. Because if you stop after that point, then you will die very, very, very, very soon. And in his case, he's well past that spot. So he needs to keep working if he wants to keep living. Okay. That does birthdays for us today. Speaking of retirement, I don't know.

39:07 Ernie Johnson, you know, inside the NBA, been on that show. For like 30 years. You know, he announced his retirement at the beginning of the basketball season. Kudos to him. I would never have guessed he was 70. You know what? I kind of believe it because... I don't know if it's having to corral Shaq and Chuck and everyone on that set. I feel like he's aged a lot the last few years. I mean, I remember when he had hair. Yeah. You know, but I forgot he's been doing that show. I think it was like 34 years or so. It's some amazing run.

39:55 I didn't even know that show had been on the air for that many years. It's crazy. Good for him. Talk about a job well done and good luck being the guy that comes in after that. Yeah. Because that is some serious chemistry on that set. Well, they feel like Barkley's already hinted that this will probably be his last season too. He's been saying that for like five years. Yeah, but none of them have seemed to be as happy at ESPN as they were at TNT. I mean, they had full reign at TNT. Yeah, exactly. There is only one happy person at ESPN, and that is Pat McAfee. Man, you even hear stories about him pissing and moaning. Yeah, but he cashes those good checks. Joe Buck probably is pretty happy there, too.

40:45 You know, I forgot. Yeah, Joe Buck pretty happy at ESPN. But that's the reason why everybody... Exactly. That's why everyone else at ESPN is pissed off because ESPN keeps doing the dumb stuff about backing the Brinks truck up to just a handful of people and leaving all the other people that do all the work going like, I can't even get a cost of living increase. Well, no. Like Linda Cohn said at the end, she was making 80% less than what she was at her peak. And then unceremoniously axing Susie Colbert I mean, she's like you talk like ESPN right now is up there with one of the worst broadcasting corporations on the planet. And that's saying something because Trey and I worked at iHeart. And that's a good fight to be had. But ESPN has been letting people go like crazy in recent years, despite signing huge deals to certain talent like a Joe Buck, who's who broke away from Aikman is like, I'm going to get I'm going to get my own bag. And Aikman is not, I mean, you talk about a terrible, terrible breakup.

41:51 Unless they decide to pay Aikman. Right. Yeah, and that's if at this point, if Aikman even wants to be in the booth with Buck. You think he's got a price at this point? He may not. Troy don't need money. No. Right? At a certain point, you need to make a certain amount of money just because it's what you're worth. Not, not because you need it. There are two other people that are very happy at ESPN, Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreet. They may be the happiest because they got it good. I mean, Herbstreet, and now he works his ass off. Cause I mean, I follow him and with his dog, you know, he's, everything's a private jet. It's, he does the Thursday night game on Amazon and, Then he flies to college to get game day. Then sometimes he has to fly to call the game at someplace else on Saturdays.

42:43 But I know he makes just a shit ton. He is making a disgusting amount of money. And Fowler loves his job and he gets to call the best college football games. And then his first love really is tennis. So he just calls all the major majors in tennis. So it's a good gig. I don't know if everyone else feels this way because maybe only because he's really mainly only called college football stuff at the highest level. Chris Fowler is probably the greatest broadcaster of our generation. I mean, to me, Joe Buck shouldn't be in the same bathroom in the same stadium with Chris Fowler when it comes to play-by-play.

43:28 The only other person, and technically it would not be our generation, Keith Jackson for college football was... the goat. And, you know, he went out with that Texas USC game. That was his last call. But I would agree with you. Fowler is second to none. So smooth. And, and it comes down to like, there, there is a, a warmth and, but he also, they've started now with social media, releasing some of the footage of he and Herbstreet in the booth, calling the plays as they happen. And they're into it like everyone else. It's fun to watch.

44:10 You should do that more often. All right, let's crack open a case of ridiculousness here inside the treehouse. And we'll start with... Hang on, let me just get down here. What in the Pokemon is going on? An Orlando woman was charged with battery and witness tampering after a Pokemon card dispute. Police say Nadia Hussein grabbed Pokemon cards during an argument with her significant other and then returned to the apartment to retrieve a bong. She forgot to grab the important stuff first.

44:54 And as if that wasn't bad enough in Pokemon world. Last week, a dad was arrested after leaving his sleeping six-year-old in line at Target for Pokemon cards. I'm not a Pokemon person, so I don't know the lure. Wow. I know they're valuable. I don't know why, other than the whole standard scarcity and supply and demand type of stuff. But crimes being committed. Over Pokemon cards. My dad would, if my dad had been a collector of something, he would have done that to me all day long. And I probably would have gotten my ass whipped when he got caught.

45:43 It's your fault that he got caught? Tell on me, boy. I don't raise snitches. Yeah. Your dad, this is what your dad would have done, Trey. . You know, I mean, my dad had me drive to town, which was seven miles away, when I was 12 years old.

46:25 So go pick him up cigarettes. Yeah. That is country. That's a fucking addict. And really poor parenting. Yeah, but also country. At least my dad drove me to the liquor store. That's carpool, Jerry. Dan, you're going on the assumption that even if we had lived in the heart of Dallas, my dad wouldn't have sent me driving to 7-Eleven. He'd just hold up the keys and say, Seagulls. Oh, man.

47:06 All right, that does it for us here inside the Treehouse today. For those of you that are Super Plus subscribers, Ultimate Treehouse subscribers, you're going to really love the Super Plus show this week. And if you aren't, consider this your sign to consider joining, at the very least, the Super Plus level of Treehouse because the end of the Super Plus episode this week is also slightly controversial. He always sent me with his business card because that was going to do the trick, and it actually usually did. Isn't that amazing? Call me at work. I'm totally fine with my boy getting all the stuff for me. All right.

47:51 That takes care of us inside the treehouse today. If you loved what you heard, share it with a friend. Together we can grow the treehouse show. We'll see you next time right here inside the treehouse.
