It’s been a while since we had a genuine Treehouse challenge. So, today I stumbled upon an excellent opportunity for each Treeper to test their mental stamina, and the contest has benefits.
Yesterday Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was asked on Fox News, essentially, why he could not relate to people [video segment below fold]. Ron responded by saying, essentially, ‘hey, who cares, did you see how much money we’re raising‘. People immediately started being snarky and discussing it. However, the real answer can be found in this Treehouse challenge below.
♦ Here’s the rules: (1) Watch the video below which is prompted to start at 2:14. (2) You cannot walk away for a break, you cannot pause the video, you must sit and watch it without the assistance of alcohol, medication or any other cognitive numbing substance. (3) How long were you able to watch the video? (4) Everything is on the honor system. (5) Respond in the comments with your honest answer of how long you were able to watch. (6) Whoever lasts the longest is the winner.
Turn off any other distractions. Get yourself mentally prepared. Ready?
Okay. WATCH:
Be honest.
How many seconds did you last before you just couldn’t take it any longer?
Respond with your honest assessment of your stamina in the comments.

Here was Ron DeSantis being asked why he cannot relate to people.
I made it to the 4:39 mark. How ironic her daughter is obsessed with Disney “Princesses” (which is not unusual IMO as many young girls these days go thru that phase-pretty normal) yet her husband the “gov” is in a major battle with Disney & what they are doing for the progress of wokeness…
quite the conundrum there
In my opinionThis interview ruined her. Her silly goose , air-headed chatter came across vapid and banal.
I had read that she had a decent career as a newscaster so I was wanting to be open minded, give her benefit of doubt . But now my guess is maybe she only read a teleprompter in that role because she does not come across as thoughtful , interesting , or trustworthy like a successful newscaster.
In my view She is not helping her husband’s campaign. In fact hurting him bc America would dread putting up with 4 years of listening to her
Just a couple of minutes, and I jumped ahead a couple of times, just to see if things improved—nope.
I lasted 5 minutes. I quit when you see the guy getting up in the audience. Even Mom’s had to be bored to tears.
I am the mother of 4 grown children.
I homeschooled those children for 25 years.
I organized homeschool picnics, parties, even conventions.
I thought, I got this – doesn’t matter how annoying.
Dayum. I last – and I counted precisely – 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
I don’t know how long it lasted beyond that. I am truly in shock that this was every bit as bad as I had heard it was. That’s all, folks.
Kudos on your homeschooling works. People like you are what Makes America Great!
2 minutes 6 seconds
Three kids one is a girl and yade Yada Yada. I had a baby in the Govenors mansion Yada Yada yadA then I I I I I aye yie yie
60 seconds…life is too short!
Wow, she sure sounds like one of us doesn’t she! Now I get why those 2 are together. Didn’t get very far for both videos.
2:43
About 3 1/2 minutes. She’s terrible.
I made to “five year old on my lap.”
It was on 9:20
I got the brilliant idea….stopped at 4:17
1 minute 13 seconds. …ughhh, unbearable
3 minutes 15 seconds without puking.
When does she breathe?
Christ!!!
That’s what I said at 3:38 and he did not intercede. So I took that as a sign to stop the video.
3:13… sad thing is seems most women voters love this stuff. Can’t imagine being a guy in that audience.
Don’t underestimate women. It is claimed women are the ones who got Trump elected.
Okay, so having to be honest, I couldn’t even get my finger to click and start the video. Nope, just couldn’t.
68 seconds- that was insane. Tie the suspect to a chair and make him watch, he’ll confess in no time.
5:40. Typical young mother boring story about her wonderful kids as if everyone is so interested. Does she get into any serious issues which young mothers would be interested in?
I’m wondering what happened to my gov, Kim Reynolds. Has she been abducted or something?
