Graham's Number used to be the biggest number I could name, but now I understand that TREE(3) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal%27s_tree_theorem ) is bigger still by a truly incredible amount (and TREE(1) = 1, and TREE(2) = 3).

Unfortunately I don't understand that Wiki page.

The page links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman%27s_SSCG_function , which is supposedly even bigger but I can't follow the text of the first page so won't attempt to read that.
