0:45 It is an understatement to say we have a lot to cover on the show today. We've got the White House correspondence, dinner shooting, the fallout from that Birthdays which I'm looking forward to today is it picked me up? And most importantly, we have to say goodbye to a friend in case you missed it on Facebook or Instagram.

1:39 We know for many of this comes as a shock, for others it is not a surprise. Well, we're flooded with thoughts and emotions right now. See, this is what happens when you go to the media. WFAA truncated. They edited my post. Our w FAA edited our post on Facebook and Instagram and took out the part where we said Raj died, which. Is probably insensitive and insensitive of me. Right now, if you didn't see that post and you're just now finding out my apology, All right.

2:28 Hang on, this is throwing me off. Now I gotta pull this act. I have to actually pull it up on our actual post because check channel eight. Screwed it up. Mmmm. All right, now we can say goodbye to Raj. He's loving this. By the way, sad news is never easy to report, especially when it hits so close to home. Our friend ras Charma passed away this morning. Technically it was Friday morning. We know for many this comes as a shock. For others this is not a surprise. Well, we're flooded with thoughts and emotions right now. We choose to celebrate the positive effect Raj had our lives. We remember his laugh and his love. We'll miss the jokes, the laughs, and the occasional tears. But most of all, we will miss our friend. Dressed in page or in October twenty second, nineteen seventy five.

3:40 Has to wait. April twenty fourth, twenty twenty six. Would else like to point out Raj would love the fact that this is gone locally viral, so he gets, you know, one more scoreboard. Yeah, as he heads to the Hindu version of the Pearly Gates. And I meant every word that we posted. Trey and I are not surprised. We knew there were issues, and we hold true to also what we said in that right now, we're choosing to celebrate, you know, all the good stuff that we had with him and that he's left upon this earth.

4:29 For me, I don't feel super guilty about this because I have a really terrible memory, but I don't even remember the first time I met Raj. I think it was in the studio on my Saturday show on one O five three, but I don't remember it specifically. The compliment in there is that once I did know him, it was like he was always there. So it's hard to pinpoint the exact time when we met. At at one point in my life, I probably considered Raj my best friend. And then life happens. He moved to la and you know, we were still in Dallas, and and then you know, you just like happens, You just you don't keep in touch as much as you used to.

5:16 I'm I think that happens with everybody. And then, uh, he moved back and we reconnected some and ironically we reconnected even more after I moved away and he was in Texas and then we had him on this show for a couple of years, and it's this is an obvious thing to say, but it sucks. It sucks to have to say goodbye to someone else sooner than needed. Yeah, it's it is definitely a life gone too soon.

5:56 He was incredibly you know, smart, incredibly funny, had a had a wonderful heart, and uh, you know, I I it's funny you said that I was. Someone asked me and I was like, I know, I met Raj back in our it was back in our one o five three days through you. I don't exactly know the exact moment, but yeah, he was fascinating person and uh, brilliantly funny.

6:37 When when when he was on he was on. Yeah, the Dallas Morning News and Channel eight content partners there owned about the same company. Uh, they did a couple of really good write ups. Headline on w f A, A Dallas comedian Raj Sharma dies at fifty following string of recent high hospitalizations. Tribute to poured in across social media on Friday, as area clubs and comics remembered the well liked local comedian as supportive, kind, and most of all funny. I will say the photo that the Dallas Morning News used, and the reason they used it is because it was from one of their photographers from years ago.

7:23 Unfortunately it was when Raj was in his Wayne Newton era. I would like to point out that I used a good photo of him. He was puffy at the time. Yeah, yeah, But I was actually kind of surprised. The thing that surprised me was the media attention that this garnered, and honestly it should. I just I didn't expect it because. There are to me, there are a group of comedians that are from the Dallas area that to me are the ogs of Dallas comedy.

8:07 I think that. There's some big names that came out of Dallas before who I consider to be the OG's, Like I think, like even David Spade may have started in Dallas or something. But when it comes to Dallas comedy, I think of a handful of names I think, and these are all guys that I grew up with, and I would have on We'd have on the radio of one, one oh five three, Paul Varghez, Aaron ari Impor, Mark ag Raj Sharma, Tone Bell, Asher Allen. I mean, there's there's a litany of guys that h really spearhead of the Dallas comedy scene for a number of years, and then eventually they all did what you're supposed to do, which is you moved to New York, you moved to LA and you do the big stuff. Not all of them did, though, which is interesting. Dallas has an odd pull on people.

9:02 It's true in TV, it's true in radio, it's true in sports, and it seemed to be true in comedy. Sports stars may have a career here and lead to go play somewhere else, but they still will raise their kids here, so they. Still come back. And the Dallas comedy seemed it was interesting too, because you had guys that left like Mark A. G. Tom Bell and have had some really good successes. Justin Foster is another name. We've had him on the show. But some of these guys came back. Paul Vargeez never left. He's still here, has a great comedy career. Raj did la for a while, came home, wanted to come home.

9:47 Aaron Arinpour is one of the best comedians I've ever known, and he's never left here. He's a family man. Still does comedy, but he's a family man. Jason James is a name that was up there as part of the that crew as well. I mean, this was a crew that when they walked into a bar, watch. Out, yeah the bar. Then the bar was going chi ching. Yeah, the bar's going chaching, and they're gonna giggle all the way to the bank because they had good jokes and they all took shots. But and it's such a weird thing. And that's what I mean is these guys they stayed or they came back for the most part, just such an interesting thing. And in doing so, those to me, those ogs of Dallas comedy, all those names I just mentioned, and I'm sure there may be a couple more that I'm brain farting at the moment, but they're responsible for the comedy scene that you have now.

10:38 These guys led that charge and helped which doesn't happen in the comedy scene very often. They helped the younger guys because they remembered what it was like for them to be the younger guys, and they always wanted to pay it back, and I'm really happy that Channel eight included that. In their story. They said for more. For more than two decades, uh Raj served as a headliner at comedy clubs across Texas. After having worked in major headliners such as Sebastian Maniscala, Russell, Peter Cheryl Underwood, and Godfrey, he took his act in recent years to California, regular at the Laugh Factory. I believe he was their official host for a number of years. His comedy career took him beyond American borders as well, embarked on tours across the globe, playing clubs in Europe, Australia, and South Asia.

11:27 Along with North Texas comedy peers and collaborators Paul Vargees and Aaron Aaruimphoor, Sharma represented a generation of successful entertainers who not only made a career of comedy, but who also served as elder statesmen and mentors to the acts who followed him. That's the part that stood out to me, and that was very accurate, and I think that's a great legacy to leave behind well. And also I don't know if it was that one or someone else, but I talked about how good Raj was at crowd work, and he was masterful at it. Yeah, if you wanted to heck with somebody, he was the wrong person to do it. Yeah. Yeah, in a weird way. He was also really polite about it.

12:10 Yeah. I mean it's like he could deal with a heckler and swap them away like a tennis match, but wouldn't really ever do it in a mean way like I've seen. I've seen some comedians walk a heckler and it was uncomfortable. Funny, but uncomfortable. That wasn't Raj's style. Raj is still very approachable, friendly and funny. So it's really great to see the outpouring from everyone. And I just want to say, personally, and I know Trey you're probably feeling this too, I appreciate the outpouring of kindness and condolences and sympathy and support from so many people over the loss of our friend.

13:00 This is such a dumb and selfish thing to say. But on top of losing a friend, I hate the aftermath that comes with people caring about it and calling and texting only because I get overwhelmed really easily, and that amount of outpouring was overwhelming and it's appreciated, but it's also like, oh my god, please please please no more. Oh. I had a big to do list on Friday, and I got nothing done and was just by the time five point thirty world around, I was absolutely exhausted and just wanted my phone to quit, just stop.

13:50 Yeah, it was very reminiscent to what it was like after Russ died, with calls, texts, comments on posts. Now, on one hand, that outpouring of support and condolences is a really feel good thing when you're going through it, right, But after a while, once I started getting caught up on responses to those messages, it's when it started becoming clear to me that I had not heard from some people, which is also interesting, also not surprising given who some of them are, But it's just interesting when you lose a friend, and it's really it's really that myriad of emotions.

14:45 It's it's all the things all happening kind of all at once. And this is gonna sound weird, but I got lucky on Friday because, like you, Trey, I had a laundry list of things I had to. Do on Friday. One of them was to perform a ceremony and marry a couple on Saint Thomas, and I wondered, as I'm going through their ceremony and everything beforehand, like, oh, there's a couple spots in here that might kind of hitch my gidda up a little bit because I'm coming off of like, I'm doing this wedding at like four four point thirty in the afternoon on Friday, when it was just hours before we had heard that Raj had died.

15:35 And so for the first time in like three four years, I'm in the middle of performing a wedding ceremony and I almost get choked up, which makes me look really good to the couple because they're like, oh my god, he's overcome with emotion because of us. No, but sure, yeah, you could think that all you want, but you know, so for. Me, my Friday was on my to do list. Couldn't completely just he chucked out the window as much as I wanted it to. But I was actually at the end of the day, I was really glad I had that distraction. Yeah, that's as hard as I tried every time I would try to throw myself into a project, I would get sidetracked. And you're absolutely you know it was It's it's sweet, it's wonderful, but it was also very overwhelming and uh and even we knew, we knew Raj was in very poor health. Like, it was not a complete shock to us.

16:49 We don't want to give out too many details because it's not our place to do so, but we did know that Raj had been hospitalized a couple of weeks before he passed, and from that hospitalization he never recovered enough to get back out. And for those couple of weeks. The last couple of weeks, Trey and I have been going about our daily lives, going about this show knowing that we might get a text at any moment. With the bad news. And Friday morning, we got it. And it doesn't really make it any It definitely didn't make it any better. It was just not completely blindsided, I guess would be the most appropriate term I can come up with. Still a shock, but not as bad.

17:40 I mean, obviously, some people who weren't familiar with everything, it was Joe completely out of the blue. I know, I know some people were curious about a service, memorial or something if that was going to have and they wanted to know, so we can let you know. About that right now. We have. So this is a complicated Families are complicated, right, So if you knew Raj, Raj would tell you that he had a complicated family life. He and his brother had a falling out many years ago. From what we can gather, it seemed like they were able to reconcile that falling out a little bit before he passed. So, as far as we know, Raj's brother is handling everything, and so a service has been planned for Monday, May fourth, from one to three pm at Hughes's Funeral Home ninety seven hundred Webchapel Road in Dallas. Can I just point something out real quick, and this is not a slam on Raj's brother. This is a slam on the funeral industry as a whole. Why are these things always at the most inconvenient times.

19:01 You know, at that middle of the day on a Monday. Yeah, that that's something I mean. It was like, why are funeral homes keeping bankers. Hours although you know they'll do it at any time. I think it's part funeral home I think it's part people whatever fits into their life the best. Yeah, it could be. And honestly, with like when my dad passed away, we did it on a Saturday because it was going to be out and Lenard, it was a drive for people.

19:49 Knew people had to work, wanted to make it as easy as possible, and honestly, you know, in this day and age, being that most of the people are around here, you know, everyone can take off a little bit and I guess you know, include their lunch break in it and go and pay their respects. Yeah, and for a lot of us, of a lot of Raj's friends don't keep normal hours anyway. Yeah, actually one to three makes sense for a lot of the comedians. It's like it's not too early and it's not so late to where they wouldn't be able to make it if they had an open mic or a gig to get to. So yeah, if now we have not been told this is any sort of a private thing or anything at all, So that's just it is what it is.

20:37 I'm just letting you know. And what sucks about this is, I know, Trey, you mentioned that you'll probably go me being twenty two hundred miles away, and I have an event on that day that I'm already committed to for work, so I won't be able to make it. Unfortunately, Raj's passing didn't fit into my schedule conveniently or the service for that matter. And it sucks because also, kind of like Russ, I couldn't go to his either, those for vastly different reasons.

21:19 I couldn't go to Russ's because I had COVID. This is obviously a little different. It's you know, prior business commitment and the distance involved. So I'm sad I'm not gonna be able to go, but I'm glad you'll be able to. Yeah, I'm trying to think that there's anything else with that that I just felt the need or desire to cover other than other than we'll miss our friend. That's really about it. That's I'll keep making fun of white people in memory of Raj. He would appreciate that. Yeah, you know what, that's what we can do. That's what we can do. I remember a friend of mine who passed away from COVID. His name was Alan Hollis.

22:05 He was a Carrollton police officer. He had retired and then went into the private sector. And he had unfortunately passed away. His lasting legacy was telling people he loved them, and that's one of the things they said at his memorial was tell someone that you love him. And you can do that with Raj as well. But I think with Raj, I want you to think. I want you to remember every time a white person does something stupid like fall off of Mount Everest, I want you to think of Raj and know that he is up there somewhere laughing his ass off, and we'll be laughing with him.

25:13 Oh Man, all right, so a lot of stuff happened over the weekend. There was a little PEPW incident at the White House correspondence dinner. Shooter identified as Cole Thomas Allen, thirty one, accused of rushing a security checkpoint armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives and exchanging gunfire with law enforcement. I know one officer was hit in the vest and is okay, and the shooter was arrested pretty promptly, and it gave everyone a pretty good scare at the dinner, and the fallout has been interesting on it. So, I mean the situation there's whenever something like this happens, there's so much to dissect and to go through. And because there's so much, please help me trade because I don't even know where I was. I don't know if I was still wrapped up and thinking about fallout from events the night before, I mean like actual like wedding events that we had also thinking and dealing with and trying to put my phone down for a while after responding to people for their messages of support about RAJ. So it wasn't until later I was in bed Saturday night.

26:31 I opened up my phone. I'm like, what the hell just happened? Yeah, I was kind of the same way. I I was watching TV. I turned everything off. Then I was watching a show. I got Netflix or something, and and then I opened up Facebook before I went to bed, or was going to bed at the time, and I saw some post about shooters, you know, that captured, possibly shooter killed. And I was like, oh, crap. And so then i open up you know news and then I'm like, oh great, And I found out about it just in time.

27:17 When I actually turned on TV. Trump was giving a news conference about it. Yeah, it's interesting, uh. In the aftermath of the White House Correspondence dinner shooting, it's really interesting to see Trump's reaction afterwards at the press conference basically boiled down to man, this man really wants that ballroom. To say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room, and it's much more secure. It's got it's drone proof, it's bulletproof glass.

27:58 We need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for one hundred and fifty years for lots of different reasons. But today's a little bit different, because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before. I don't know if anyone's wanted a ballroom more than what Trump does. He has been obsessed with this ballroom since he got back into office. I don't know if anyone's wanted anything more than Trump wants this ballroom. I would contend that in the late eighties, me wanting the Castle of Grayskull from Masters of the Universe, the letter I wrote Santa might pale in comparison to how much Trump wants this ballroom.

28:45 And he may get it now. I mean he should, and he's not wrong. This has been something they has been talked about for decades, and especially security concerns. No other place generally will have yea, the leader of the free world, just going into a hotel and with all the dignitaries that come in everything else. The White House. Everyone thinks the White House is so huge, but there is no place to have a function like this. So and the fact, I mean he raised the money privately. It's everyone. If any other president had done it, and I'm just no one would would think twice about it.

29:30 But because it's Trump, everyone you know has a heart on for it. That's not true. The opposing party is going to have an issue with whatever the guy in charge is doing. That is modern politics. No, not like Trump. I will, I will, I will. I'll fight you on that one. I think. Do you remember how bad it was when Obama put a basketball court in on Fox News or wore a tan suit. I'm sorry to bring that up, but they they treated that like it was some sort of something catastrophic that he wore a light colored suit that was the color of a suit they were picking apart. Okay, Oh, it's not. That that that that that is that is a horrible example.

30:15 I mean the fact that the fact that you have airtime to fill. There were no lawsuits filed over the fact that Obama put a basketball court in. Uh there were there. No one was trying to enact, you know, acts of Congress to stop it. It was something, Yeah, people complained about it, but it was in a new cycle. It probably went away in two days. I'm talking about the media coverage on it, and it sounds like you're talking about it from like a legal standpoint. I'm just talking about the the the efforts. Yes, there was a lot of partisanship with Obama, but there wasn't the vitriolic hate. Republicans did not hate Obama the way the left hates Trump.

31:01 Based on a lot of the stuff I see and still see. I'll disagree with you on that because I think both men are hated by people, and I think once you're hated by other people for reasons degrees of hate, you know you can you can dissect all day. But the fact is people hate Obama. Trump hates Obama and people hate Trump. No one of the people that hate those people can see no good in either of them. First of all, you didn't have three attempts on Obama's life. You did not have people after set attempts bemoaning the fact that they didn't get them. I mean, it's there was a lot of Yeah, people did not like Obama, but that was also far more on just political ideology, not just they hated.

31:58 It was also a lot of race. I'm not you know race was definitely a. Factor, But and you and I have talked about this before, there really is like the the the initials TDS, Trump derangement syndrome. It's a real thing and it goes both ways. There are people that love everything he does and there are people that hate everything he does. I, however, am a person of common sense. I've long said that I'm not a fan of Trump. I don't think he's a good person. But if he does something good, like his first term, I wanted him to do good because if he does good, country does good, I do good. I'm happy. It's a simple equation for me, and I still feel that way. If he does something bad, I will say I think that is bad. If he does something good, I will say I think that is good. And you're not wrong. I mean, the attempts on his life are alarming.

32:53 And the other thing about the attempts on his life that is also fascinating is. How you get the. I don't even necessarily know if it goes to I guess it's a conspiracy theory. People pumping out thoughts and ideas about whether or not this was staged, and people said the same thing about the incident and Butler. Like, Okay, well all this stuff was too good. That's all these conspiracy theories saying that that Trump's doing it himself or whatever. Yeah, I've seen and you and I that's what they You and I have agreed. I do not understand the vitriolic hate uh for Trump, and I don't understand the undying love. I don't think I am with you. I don't think he's a great human being. I don't think he's a great person. But he does not move me in a way that that that it moves a lot of people. But the fact and obviously the fact that you have h this was what was It cracked me up because again everyone everyone becomes a sleuth on these things.

34:10 You know. It wasn't twenty minutes after the event had happened, and the first time they showed the photo of the guy on the ground and people are like, oh, that has to be stage. How it's could a photographer be right there? Well, here's it's the it's the White House correspond correspond it's dinner. Yeah, they're all there, botogs everywhere that mind you, And like I I there's one girl who I know, she was a fucking wedding photographer, and you know, she's like, well that's it, you know, blah blah blah. These are people that have been in war situations, a lot of them. So they they and go watch the other the ancillary. You know, i'd call it b roll footage. They're all hitting the ground, but they all have their cameras in hand.

34:54 That that's part of what they do. They're all trying to get that bulletser like, you know, they want that photo of the year. So that's how they had that shot is he was there was another you know, photographer on the ground who was like, oh, hey, I'm at the right angle. Boom, look you what's right in front of me? Yeah, yeah, I got I gotta quote the suspect to and carpet. So now that we've now that we've covered the seriousness of the White House correspondence there, there are a couple of points. Here that I think have to be made that are absolutely. Comical, not and laughable, not necessarily in a haha funny some of it is, but then some of it's more like laughable, like shocking. Right the video when the shots ring out of the Secret Service rushing the day is to get to the president. Why'd they grab the Vice president JD Vance first?

35:54 So it's a sore the vice president to go that's that guy. Well, he has his own detail and then there's a presidential detail, okay. Then then then then then what what there's the detail doing if the VPS detail. Is faster there, there's there's a lot of questions of why was he you know, still up there. Why was there not like a human shield around him? Why? And I understand they said he fought it and everything else. At a certain point the Secret Service supposed to just drag his ass and and and get him to safety. Yeah, the Secret Service has one job when it comes to the president, that is to protect him, and they don't really listen to the president.

36:40 And in a shooting situation. There are and it's finally even because he Trump admitted, you know, he was like I was fighting him. I wanted to say, I want to do this, and they're like, they're protocols, sir. And their protocols for a reason is that there's no questions. It's like this happens, you do this right. And I think I think there's some definite questions about the Secret Service. And I mean, obviously there have been three attempts on his life. We probably need to have a reevaluation of the entire program. Maybe it needs to go back under the Treasury Department instead of Homeland Security. They seem to do a better job. But yeah, I think there's a lot of questions that need to be in and the thing that really is mind boggling more than anything else, and this is something the press has talked about both sides of they're like, yeah, they were hardly even checking tickets, like they just you showed a picture of the ticket on your phone. They were letting you in.

37:50 Now that right there. So the quite the security concerns at the White House correspondence dinner are valid because on one hand you have people saying security was laxed. What's going on with security when it comes to the Secret Service and event security, you know for the White House, the President, the Cabinet, all of that in general, we need to look at that. The other side is because it seems so laxed, that's when the conspiracy people pop in and go it's got to be a stage thing because this security is supposed to be the best in the world and these guys are running around looking like the Keystone cops. And they're not wrong, like there's because you look at the people that were there there there's some designated survivor crap right there of you know, if the guy had had a bomb or something, this turns really really bad, really fast. But yeah, I definitely think they need to look at some things as to why why security was so lax.

38:55 There's a guy they need to speak to, and I don't know if they've done it yet, and that is the guy that was caught on camera on CNN during the entire aftermath of the shooting at the White House correspondence dinner sitting. He is sitting at his table in front of the day is where the president and Vice president were, and he is just chaling down on his plate of food. Did you see this, oh, Trey, It's it's weird to say, my favorite thing about it, my favorite thing about a presidential assassination attempt. That's just a weird sentence to say. But it's true. The guy that was eating at one of the tables in the aftermath, he was like nothing was going to stand between him and his appetizer. And here's what I hope happened, because what I saw as CNN has a wide shot kind of to the left of the dais, So it's like one of those cameras that they had set up, and you could see the entire dais on the stage, and you could see some of those front row tables in the foreground. In the lower left, there's a guy who's standing and he's looking around and he just sits back down, tucks in his napkins, starts eating food, and he just sits there. There there's there is a guy from Home Land Security. He's got his rifle across his chest. He's standing there right where the President was just minutes before and just holding security right and this guy is just challenging down on first course, looking like there is not a worry in the world. And my hope is that he went from table to table and.

40:22 Ate everybody's food. So if you want to look into some conspiracy stuff, someone to talk to that guy who was so comfortable in the middle of this emergency situation. He was eating everybody's first courses. You know. At one point, uh like evidently Trump was being so belligerent. He you know, was talking to you, telling him, yeah, you know, stay and sit back down. We're gonna serve. Yeah, we're gonna have dinner. They're like, no, sir, it's the moment's. Gone, but I'm hungry. Stop at McDonald's on the way to the White House. Well that was gonna happen anyway. Yeah, you're listening to the Treehouse.

There was one other random story I saw that I wanted to share with you, Trey that really stood out from the White House. Correspondent Stinner In addition to the man who would not let an active shooter situation deter him from his first course, there was also the woman in the aftermath of the shooting who was seen snatching wine bottles from the tables. A woman was caught on camera blissfully snatching bottles of wine during the chaotic aftermath of the shooting at the White House, correspondent Stinner. While throngs of reporters and other guests fled the White fled the Washington Hilton ballroom, an unknown blond woman wearing pash fur went straight for a table to stockpile booze.

42:55 She and the dude eating stuff. Those are people you need to look at. If there's any sort of a conspiracy going on, you need to talk to them, because I don't know if they're just being opportunist or if they actually knew that something wasn't quite right with this whole situation. But uh, some people are just people. Some people are not gonna let a man with a with a few weapons get in between them and a play actators or a bottle of wine. I mean that woman went in there knowing she was probably gonna knock back two bottles, and she wasn't gonna, let you know, an emergency stop her from that. And it was already opened, it was gonna get used, it needed. You know, they're gonna throw it out. If not, you know, she just took it. Hey, I understood it as as a as a recovering alcoholic.

43:41 I understand, of course you do, because you'll see her at a meeting someday. And look, if it's already paid for, is it really stealing because she was gonna drink it anyway? You know that, especially if any bottles are red, they basically gonna get trashed, so they'd already been opened as might as well. Hey, waste not want. Not, that's right. Look, this is a scary situation I've I've been involved in. I'm gonna need a way to self soothe. So I figure five or six bottles are red, will do it tucked under my fur coat?

44:24 Oh god, people, people, I mean, And you know, listen, hey, if a gunman got through security coming in, she's probably knew she was gonna be good with getting some wine bottles out. She ain't wrong, all right. Today is Tuesday, April twenty eighth, twenty twenty six birthdays today. It's pretty good day, too short. Turn sixty man, that hurts. Wow. Yeah, Jessica turns forty five. I would like to thank our I would like to thank our buddy Tone Bell for being the one step link between us and Jessica Alba.

45:12 They did a little movie that was released on Netflix. I think it was called Trigger Warning and. Tone. Our buddy tone was in that movie starring Jessica Alba. So thank you Tone, which, by the way, did you see I'm sorry, go ahead, d she's married a Timberlake. No, no, that's Jessica Alba. I mean sorry, that was Jessica biellel Okay or getting a divorce now, Jessica Alba Timberlake. Yeah, Jessica Bile and Timberlake are getting a divorce. Yeah, justin Timberlake. Yeah. So if there's something, if there's something you need to tell Brandy, now that Jessica Bile is available, now is probably the best time.

45:59 You leave that alone. Yeah all right. Actually, but Jessica Alba is also about to be divorced. She's back on the single market. Sheeing her husband, Cash Warren. I think it filed for divorce. I just saw something talking about you know. Oh, and I just drew a blank. Jamie Gertz, you remember her. M hmm, yeah, from Twister, I Gotta go, We've Got Cows? Right, you know, she's worth twelve billion dollars. Say what.

46:40 So she and her husband, her husband's in finance, but uh, they bought the Atlanta Hawks and for like seven hundred million or something, and then that's like quadrupled. But yeah, I just saw I was reading a deal about her because there was she was at one of the basketball games, so that she's seldom seen, but you know, said her estimated net worth is twelve billion dollars. She took that Twister money and. She didn't good. She parlayed that shit. She went from We've Got cows to own I own basketball. That's pretty solid. That's actually that that reminds me of Julia Luis Dreyfus. Her father, I believe, is a shipping magnet and is worth billions. So it sounds like Jamie Gertz married into kind of her situation.

47:34 No, that's one of the things that he wasn't that wealthy like when they but evidently she made and they give her a lot of credit. She made a lot of really good financial investments. Then more Power Tour and Good Credit Tour then yeah, but yeah, Julia Luis Dreyff is her her family. Her dad is a like a Mediterranean shipping magnate or something like that, worth billions, and because of that, she was able to pursue an acting dream. She didn't need daddy's money. She went and made her own kick ass career and she's still doing it. Oh yeah. So, speaking of Jessica Albert turning forty five today, our buddy Tone Bell was in that movie with her.

48:17 I think it was called Trigger Warning. Speaking of our buddy Tone Acme versus Wiley Coyote trailer, the. Movie finally is going to be released. This is a movie that they shot a couple of years ago and it just got shelved by Warner Brothers and now it's actually going to come out. They released a trailer for it last week, and I remember Tone telling us, yeah, we got this thing. It's it's finally going to come out when he told us what it was. But I don't think I remember him telling me how stacked that cast is John Cena, Tone, I need to pull it up. I mean, this is one of those it's it's where it takes the cartoon into the real world.

49:06 Wiley E. Coyote is filing a class action suit against the ACME Corporation. So it's it's a crossover kind of like how who Framed Roger Rabbit was a crossover between the animation and the live action world. And that's what this looks like. So you have cartoon Wiley E. Coyote in court suing the actual ACME Corporation for all of its faulty products. But the trailer actually looks really good and it's one of those I can't figure out why they didn't release it. I don't know if it just got stuck in corporate limbo and production and distribution stuff because there was companies changing hands or what.

49:50 I I don't think tone really was sure. I think it just but you said a couple of years ago, I want to say that they worked on like that was something like they've did prior to COVID. Yeah, you may be right, And then I think maybe because of COVID it got lost in the shuffle. So starring John Cena, Lanta Condor, Will Forte, PJ. Burn, a bunch of people you would recognize, and it, like I said, watched the trailer a couple of times. Looked really good. I'm excited for it, and I'm excited for a buddy. Other birthdays today, you go back to my service. Penelope Cruz is fifty two and Margaret eighty five. Man, she is still kicking.

50:40 Wow. Oh, Bridget Monahan turns fifty five today. A lot of people forget she was that. Tom Brady is her baby daddy. Okay, Yeah, she's factorous, fifty five years old. She has aged really really well. It's unfair that some people have that advantage. Yeah at TB twelve mm hmm. Apparently it does the body good. Yeah. Tom Brady was with Bridget moynahan, had a child with her before he hooked up with what's her name, the Victoria's Secret Model. So Bridget Mornahan fifty five, probably best known for her roll in Blue Bloods. Other birthdays today, shortstop Barry Larkin from Cincinnati Red's Fame. He's sixty two and that's pretty much it. The other random was that that service likes to throw out is James Monroe. Obviously he's passed long since past, but today is his birthday.

51:47 If he was still alive and doing things for the country, he would be two hundred and sixty eight, and then Harper Lee would be one hundred if Harper Lee were still kicking. Kill a mockingbird. That's right, huh, look at. Me, very good trade, nicely done. Trey sent me this, and I wanted to make sure we got on it because this is a great headline. We started having sex. Then he facetimed his friend, Benji, the man I was sleeping with, leapt from the bed to catch his phone, which had been propped up on the bedside table. With a vigorous rhythm from our sex, the phone had dislodged and hurtled to the ground. It usually wouldn't have been a big deal. The floor was carpeted and the table wasn't very high, but it wasn't the phone that mattered. Benji caught it and laughed, placing it back on the table. A face on the screen looked back at me, and I smiled. We weren't watching born instead, we were the ones being watched. Despite it being new to me, everyone involved was having a brilliant at time. She didn't realize that the buddy was on the phone.

53:07 This is kind of troubling. Yeah, this is a bromance. Taken way too far. Yeah, this turns real fast, finn Is. I guess. The guy on the other end of the phone says not to worry. All part of the show. As he grabbed her, ready to continue with what he was doing on his end of the phone. So basically, you got a guy who's having sex with his girlfriend, but before they started having sex, he facetimed his buddy and put him on the nightstand so his buddy could watch and enjoy. Yeah, there are some things I just don't want to see, and one of them is my friends having sex nor flip it around. Do I ever want my friends to watch me jerk off?

54:05 Thank you for putting that in perspective, because I was this close to saying, what's wrong with watching me have sex? I'm pretty good at it. You might learn a thing or two. But then when it's flipped around and you're enjoying yourself while I'm doing Yeah, I don't want to be any part of that equation of it. And you know, you and I have known each other a long time. I consider you one of my best friends. But I know, huh huh, at no point do we need to know each other? No boundaries? People boundaries are very important in life and in friendships. I'm also pretty sure this particular situation is illegal, so keep that part in mind for all things Treehouse, Treehouse on Air, dot com. Give us a follow on social media as well at Treehouse on Air. On the show funny, please send it to a friend or all your friends.

54:59 Maybe get permission before you FaceTime them in the middle of it or whatever, but send the show to my friend. We needed a little pick me up today losing our buddy Raj and so Trey. Thank you for helping me through that. We all kind of get through this together. We will see you next time, right here inside the Treehouse, with consent.
