Speaker 1 (00:17):
It is time to believe your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trey Trenholm. Trey, you are on the road today joining
us remotely. Where in the world is Trey Trenholme today?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I am in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Ooh, Vegas? How is Las Vegas?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's fine, you know, when you don't drink and you're
not rich. Vegas is very me.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's just a it's just a bunch of bright lights
in the middle of the desert. Uh huh. Just glad
to have running water in a bed, right, Yeah, that's
Vegas has been getting hammered lately, and I'm saying that
is someone that just went through a little bit of
a Category five hurricane over the weekend. I saw a
(01:18):
story recently that tourism is basically in the toilet in
Las Vegas. And it's not just because the economy is
in question in general, but Vegas is kind of in
question and in turmoil because I think the tourists have
finally caught on that they're basically getting ram rotted when
(01:40):
it comes to what things cost, or more specifically, what
they're being charged for things versus what they actually cost,
and it's not brand new, Like everyone knows that if
you go to a pool in Las Vegas, you were
going to be charged out the ass for a cores
or a vodka soda, whatever it is you're buying. I
(02:03):
think I saw a thing, a basket of chicken tenders
was like forty nine dollars, and this is These are
astonishing numbers. But again this I don't think this is
brand new. But because of it, tourists are finally clapping
back and they're not going. They're not showing up to
Vegas like they used to, and when they when when
(02:26):
they do show up, they're apparently not tipping like they
used to because they're fed up with being price gouged.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Like I got up this morning and there's a Starbucks
staying at the Aria, and there's a Starbucks here.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well, my.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Iced cinnamon dulce latte that I normally get, that's normally
I think six seventy five at any other Starbucks is
eleven seventy five here, And yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You know why, it's probably because they think you're a
showgirl without order and they think you can afford it
with all the tips you made last night, not some
blue collar man.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah. Again, I've never claimed to be a manly man.
When it comes to my.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Coffee drinks, I at least say, hey, I don't get
the whip cream.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Also that's your line. Yeah, unless unless that whipped cream
is coming on Ali Larder herself with the coffee drink.
You're a you're a no whip bro yep.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
But yeah, no, everything, Yeah, everything is ridiculously expensive. They've
got a food court here that's somewhat reasonable for for Vegas.
Uh you know, A slice of pizza at one place
was ten bucks and it's a big slice.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I could uh.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You know, I wasn't mad about that. I guess it's
kind of within reason. But now everything here is just ridiculous,
So it doesn't it doesn't shock me that tourism is
down and.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You can kind of tell. Although yo, it's during the week.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I've never really this will be my first time I
think ever really spending any time.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
In Vegas on a weekday. I've always been you know,
Friday through Sunday.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, I think that's how most people are. I found
one of the stories that I did see the once
generous tipping culture of Las Vegas is experiencing a downturn
as visitors push back against soaring prices and declining service
quality across the Strip. According to The New York Post,
servers report that tips have plummeted by as much as
fifty percent compared to previous years. This drop has created
(04:54):
a financial strain for thousands of hospitality workers who depend
on gratuities for their livelihood. One cocktail waitress revealed in
a Reddit forum the subreddit is Vegas Locals that her
average tip per drink has crashed from eighty cents to
just ten cents, while others lament working triple what we
used to do and making a quarter of what we did.
(05:17):
The crisis coincides with an eleven point three percent drop
an overall visitation to Sin City in June compared to
the same month last year. That's according to the Las
Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. International travel to Vegas has
similarly declined by approximately ten percent year over year. Show
(05:37):
it's getting ugly in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, and I think there's something else going on, which
is I think there is a.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Tipping fatigue because.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
And I say this as someone who worked in the
service industry for a very long time. But the fact
that you get asked to tip everywhere is I think
wearing people out, and it's screwing the people that really
do survive on tips. I mean, you're getting asked to
tip people, and most people don't realize it, but a
lot of you know, whether you go to Starbucks or whatever,
(06:16):
they're making a good hourly wage, whereas most like servers
and bartenders are making you know, two thirteen an hour.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Right So, and especially in a place like Vegas that
is so tourism heavy. So I've always loved the way
my wife put it as far as whether or not
you should tip somebody in the service industry, it's basically,
if they touched your food, you should probably tip them.
It's like, Okay, I can wrap my brain around that.
That's good in the broader tourism industry. Though in a
(06:47):
place like Vegas it gets real, you know, heavy, because
you got you've got door people, you've got bell hops
doing luggage, You've like you said, trade, there's so many
people everywhere you turn in Vegas that live on tips.
(07:07):
So it's kind of hard to know, Like, well, who
do you say no to.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Hookers?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well, I wouldn't expect to be on their favorites list
if you ever decide to go back to that particular ranch.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You're in the Treehouse online a treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 6 (07:42):

for people. Kids are now starting to get back to school.
Parents are trying to get back into a new routine
(08:03):
with the kids going back to school. That actually makes
now a great time to get that roof inspection.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Absolutely?
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Dan, We see this every single year.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
You know.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
We come out of our heavy storm season, which is
in the spring, you know, and which usually people you
know associate lasting up until June. Then we get to
summertime and it's kids are out of school, vacations are
going on, relatives and in laws are coming in town.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I got all these other things I'm gonna do, and
then all you know, you forget that crap.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
I had a big storm at my house this year,
and I never had anybody come out and look at it.
But I don't have any leaks, so maybe I got lucky.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Well, then you get.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Through fall, we start having a little bit of cooler weather,
we start getting back in the rainy season, and guess what, poof, you.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Got a leak coming into your roof.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
So this is why it's very critical. It's the perfect
time of the year. Have us come out. We can
check what we haven't looked at yet. Because all those
storms that came through in March, April, May, and then
we had some ones.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Late as June. At the end of June, this.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
Is a perfect time for us to check out and
see how much damage your house actually sustained. Do you
need to worry about it? Is your house okay for
another you know year, until the next springtime. You know,
those are things that you don't want to be surprised about.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Have us come out. It's a perfect time. It's a
free inspection.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
We come out, walk around, take pictures, show you if
you have any concerns.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, and now really is a perfect time to do that.
As the kids go back to school. It's not quite

is the tree House Show. I'm Daniel Malling along with
Trey Trenholm Raj Sharma popping in the tree House now
(10:35):
as well. Raj, you're a somewhat of a Vegas expert.
You spend a lot of time in Reno as well.
Who are the people that you don't tip.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Who you do not tip meth heads, okay, but everybody else,
I mean, there's really not a door guy anymore. That's
kind of like a few valet you'll have a door guy,
but if you don't like, you don't have to really
worry about that.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
But I'm really angry when it comes to having to
pay for valet at every damn hotel now. And I
don't mean in Vegas. I just mean everywhere, because I'll
still admit this, I've never I've still never been to
Las Vegas. But I can't stand now how every hotel
on the planet now basically says, Okay, the room is
X amount of dollars. Oh, and you have to pay
the park too, whether it's self park or valet, so
good luck with that. It's like what the hell man?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
And sometimes the self park is more expensive than the valet.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And sometimes they don't even give you the option. They
just say, if you want to park with the hotel,
it's valet. There are no other options, or you can
take your you can take your chances with the meth
heads across the street.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
You'll always take the guy that I mean, if you
have a lot of luggage and there's somebody that brings
your bags, you tip them. If there is a door guy,
like in India, like there's door guys, so you tip them.
But in Valet you tip. But outside of that, I
think that's where and wait, staff, I think that's where
it would end.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, well, Vegas isn't sharp. Decline Trey has witnessing it
for us as our Vegas correspondent this week inside the Treehouse.
I don't know if you guys saw this news last month,
but I'm going to share it with you now just
in case you didn't catch it. Scientists are on high
alert as an unidentified object has been detected speeding towards Earth.
(12:26):
The nature of this object remains a mystery, but there's
one expert who is suggesting, yeah, it could be extraterrestrial,
Avi Lobe. It is the professor from Harvard A. VI Lobe.
Professor Lobe has been outspoken about the potential existence of
(12:48):
spaceships in the cosmos and now speculates that this object
could be a mothership.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Despite skepticism from other scientists who argue that the object
is probably just a comet, Professor Lobe cautions that its
appearance might indicate technological design.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, there's one big problem with his theory, and that is,
if it is an extraterrestrial mothership, why is it technically
doing a flyby of Mars? Because its path is it's
close to Mars and it's going to go behind the Sun,
(13:26):
so it's not really supposed to get Now, if it
all of a sudden, you know, makes a left turn
and it comes towards Earth, then yeah, there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
But otherwise, yeah, if it's hanging a Louis in the
middle of the Solar System, then yeah, I think that's
gonna be a bit of a red flag.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yeah, if it flips a bit, we got a problem.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Now, that's an interesting point that you brought up to
the path that it's on, where at one point it
will go behind the Sun, and that's where the mystery
gets well even more mysterious because it was first spotted
on July first. Now, if the object turns out to
be an alien vessel, Professor Lobe estimates that's craft would
arrive on Earth between November twenty first and December fifth
(14:05):
of this year. Okay, so when that Thanksgiving time? And
then what's interesting still about this, Like you mentioned Trey
it's expected that this object will vanish behind the sun
in September and then won't reappear in telescope view until
November or December. I don't know about you, but if
(14:26):
I'm Hollywood, that's how I write this because people are like,
ladie dah, there's an object. But then when it rears
its head, when it comes back around the sun, you're like, oh,
damn aliens.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Oh, I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna go,
why go behind the sun, unless like that's a vacation
spot for them.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I have element of surprise. Maybe they recharge. Maybe there's
a fueling station back there. We don't know about it.
Maybe there's behind the sun.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
But there are things on the other side.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, were just saying, maybe they stop off, get a
little tan m.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Maybe maybe it's it's the enterprise and they're having to
sling shouting around the sun to get back to whatever
time they need to.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I don't know, but according to Professor Lowe, they're coming
and they'll be here sometime between November twenty one and
December fifth, So get your affairs in order.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Huh. Maybe they're on the Epstein list. They're just trying
to get.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Here before those get released. They have plenty of time,
it seems, I.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Mean, maybe maybe maybe it's a it's the new Thanksgiving
and this time we're the Indians.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
And oh no, I'm the Indian tray.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, they just got awkward.

year's Super Bowl halftime show Kendrick Lamar. Now, in the
recent history of Super Bowl halftime performances, when there's an
(17:12):
extreme one way, the pendulum has a tendency to swing
back the other. So in Kendrick Lamar last year, we
had one of the all time great modern rappers. So
would it surprise you at the possibility of a Super
Bowl halftime show this year being led by Taylor Swift?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
No, no, not at all. I mean that's huge ratings.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to book
her five years in a row.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Honestly, it would surprise me if she did it, because
it's not like she needs to now. Granted, most of
the artists that get asked and do play the super
Bowl don't necessarily need it.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I mean, yeah, they don't get it.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, they actually they technically lose money on doing the
super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
It's it's the now.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Again, she doesn't need that either, But and I would
imagine the NFL cough up some money. I mean, did
you see the numbers that New Heights, you know, the
Kelsey Brothers podcast did when she came on there.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Give me, give me the latest numbers you've heard.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I want to say, the last time I heard they
were something like ninety six million views.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The last one I saw was like, and this was
a few days ago, it was sixteen million. I had
may had the most. I think they had the most
live audience in YouTube history at one point, with one
point three million people watching it last Wednesday when it
came out.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Oh, that's when she dropped the new album.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Now, well, yeah, because it was on the show. But yeah, yeah,
I mean it was one point three million people watching
that as it was being released on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So the reason why the super Bowl speculation has popped
up is because, well it's Taylor Swift and her fans
are rabbid and some of the things she discussed on
the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend Travis Kelcey and
his brother Jason was her belief in numerology. Jason also
(19:16):
asked her about Easter eggs.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Go ahead, Trey, I said, across all platforms, it's generated
half a billion views.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Wow, I'm curious to see if I'm curious to see
how high the numbers specifically go on YouTube, because i
think the most watched podcast was Elon Musk's interview on
Rogan's Show on YouTube in I think like twenty eighteen,
and that has somewhere in the neighborhood of sixty five
(19:50):
million views. So I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I thought Trump's Trump's Rogan interviewed.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I think I think all time the Musk when was
a little bit higher, but so Trump one was a
close second.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
If you watched that, so was Elon because he was
a smoking weed with Joe Rogan, so he was higher
for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
So anyway, all the speculation about Taylor Swift and the
Super Bowl is because of what was discussed on the
show with the Kelsey Brothers, numerology and her Easter eggs,
so much so that during the appearance on the show,
she shared that sour dough has taken over her life
(20:33):
and that's what she talks about sixty percent of the time.
Considering she loves baking, the most casual fan probably wouldn't
think much of her saying that, but not the Swifties.
They know Taylor's affinity for inserting Easter eggs into almost
everything and this is no exception. They suspect she might
be the Super Bowl halftime show headliner because number one
(20:55):
super Bowl sixty will go down at Levi's Stadium, home
of the Sarancisco forty nine ers. Their mascot is Sourdough
Sam and her saying that she thinks about sourdough sixty
percent of the time super Bowl sixty.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Also, at the beginning of the episode, Taylor thinks Taylor
thanks Jason Kelcey for screaming like forty seven seconds. Taylor's
forty seventh stop on her Era's tour was none other
than Levi's Stadium. So those put together the Swifties think, ooh,
she's dropping hints.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
And just you know, San Francisco was just known as
the home of sourdough bread just not just so much
the mascot, but still, how depressing is it to be
sourdo Sam?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I mean, you could be, like of all the mascots
in the league, you could be it could be rowdy.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
At least they soward or Sam has a chance for
he's gonna see a Super Bowl long before rowdyever will.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Sad thing is we're probably on like our ninth or
tenth rowdy between super Bowls. I think we've had. I
think we've had fewer rowdies than we have had starting
quarterbacks with the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Rowdy's gonna die, That's what's gonna happen.

Speaking of today, today is Tuesday inside the Treehouse, which
means it's time for tree House talk Back Today. We
(23:20):
have just one, but it's a big one and it's
from Joel.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Joel here, just wondering. As a kid, I remember nineteen years.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Old playing football and a cow pasture, and I'm wondering,
have any of y'all Texans done?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Then?
Speaker 10 (23:49):
I grew up in Virginia, Southern Virginia, so just wondering,
is that a just a Virginian thing? I'm glad moved.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, thank you, Joel, Thank you for ending it in
the classic Treehouse talkback fashion with the.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Oh, Joel sounded like he needs to be the cook
in a like a city on the City Slickers, you know,
the little camping deal. And you know he's on the
back of the stage coach. You know, nickname Wheezy.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
No no, no, no, it's Cookie. It's Cookie. The cook
is nicknamed Cookie. Joel is our Cookie.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
He sounds like he was reciting a letter from the
eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I'll do declare, it's almost like you could hear the
rocking chair on the front porch of his plantation. How yes, uh,
all right? He asked, have any of us played football
in a cal pasture as to he did it in
Virginia as a nineteen year old? Did any of us
(25:03):
ever play football in a cow pasture growing up in Texas?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Tray? Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Really?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Hell back in the day playing at Leonard, we visited
some schools that it literally was a cowpastor that they
just fenced.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Off with barbed wire or do they do something a
little more player friendly?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
No barboire, just to keep the cattle from coming in
there during the game.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's why I asked, because as someone that grew up
up until the age of nine next to my grandfather's
cattle ranch, very familiar with calpastures, very familiar with barb wire. However,
never played football there and that was technically Oklahoma. So
as a Texan though, when I started playing football, no,
we played in stadiums Trey. I think I was curious
(25:54):
because I thought you'd be the X factor here, And
it turns out I was right. You actually did play
some football on a cowpatty, But for most of us
that grew up in the cities, for the most part,
our football was played on an actual football field, Rajen,
assuming that was the case for you in Mesquite, Yes,
no cow pastors.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
We actually had facilities, We actually had places where you practiced.
I know Leonard might have been different, but no.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Leonard wasn't different. But you know, when you play places
like Ladonia.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, Leonard. Leonard was sort of the buffer zone between
the big city and Ladonia.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
The I think the worst I had was there was
a baseball field. I think this was in Louisville. I
played on a baseball field in Louisville. I might have
been Lewisville High School. They had and I still to
this day don't know why. It's the only baseball field
I ever saw that had this. They had pecan shells
on the infield dirt, which was awful. If you've ever
(27:01):
played with or been around broken pecan shells, they're they're
almost like glass. They are sharp. And I still, like
I said, to this day, I don't know why they
had pecan shells on that field. It was awful and
I still might have a few chunks stuck in my
right knee. But football wise, the worst I had was
playing in De Soto when they hadn't replaced their turf
(27:26):
and god knows how many years so their astro turf
field when we played there wasn't really astro turf. It
was basically just a painted green parking lot with lights
around it. I mean, there was no cushion, there was
no give. Playing for Arlington lamar we had our road
white jerseys on and they were covered in green because
(27:48):
I guess they had freshly painted the field. That was
the worst I had. So I know, no no cow
pastures for football for me.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think anybody we played
had something like that. But what the one that the
only thing that scared me was is when we played
and Trey will know this, when we played Highland Park,
uh and these guys came out on the field and
I was like, these are men, these are grown ups.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Well they're also they're also rolling up to the game
of their Mercedes buses.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
We're going to lose. He has a he has a beard.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's how I felt when we did the Kickoff Classic
at Texas Stadium, and it was my school, Lamar High
School playing Kimball Dallas Kimball, Okay and so. And in
the movie Friday Night Lights, when those when those kids
from Permian looked across the field when Dallas Carter came
out and like you said, I mean, they're full on
(28:53):
beards and things. You're like, yeah, this, this isn't normal here.
I think I think that offensive Lineman's children are in
the state along with the wide receivers parole officer.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I think the offensive lineman's children are also playing in
the game.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, it's a family affair.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
I mean, we need to check some my d's.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I will say this though, playing because we did that
two years in a row. Is my sophomore and I
think it was sophomore. In junior year, we played Kimball
High School at the Kickoff Classic at Texas Stadium, first
game of the year, and it was so much fun
to watch the Kimball band at the field. Yeah, and
that's when all of us as the team would look
(29:41):
back at our band and go, why can't you guys
do any of that we had.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
We played Wilmore Hutchins once and their cheerleaders were amazing
and I was like, yeah, you guys. I looked at
our cheerleaders. I'm like, we don't have spirit. Yes they do.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Y'all need to step up your game.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I think they're dancing to Llo cool j Like.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I do miss those days, but thankfully I never had
to never had to juke around any any cowflop in
my playing days. A couple of muddy ant hills is
about it.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, your big helmet would have protected you regardless.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Came in real handy at that playoff game against O
d Wyatt.

August nineteenth, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays.
I say celebrate, but we're starting off with a sad one.
Matthew Perry would have been fifty six today, but he
(31:44):
left this world in a ketamine fueled not bathtub hot
tub back in twenty twenty three. Legendarily known as Chandler
on Friends, Matthew Perry would have been fifty six today.
And for those that have not seen it, his movie
Fools Rush In with Samahayak. He was one of the
(32:05):
first Friends cast members to really really try to use
the show to jump off into films, and it didn't
really go well for most of them, at least not
for a while. But Fools Rush In, starring Matthew Perry,
Samahayak holds up whenever I am really really hot and
(32:31):
I'm working one of my wife's weddings outside and it's hot,
I still think of the line that he says in
that film, the white people are melting. I mean, you
talk about a line to stick with somebody, and it
really did. That movie really, really really is funny, and
(32:55):
if you haven't seen it, I recommend it. Trey, have
you seen it?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I have seen it. Yeah, it is a good movie.
But you know that was also you talk about the crossover.
That was at a time when there was a distinct difference.
I mean there were if you were a movie star,
there were actors that would give you the advice don't
ever do television.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah sure.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
So you know, it was kind of a different thing
where you know, now I think it's all kind of
jumbled together.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
It is, but it isn't at least maybe depends on
the individual because I don't know. If you guys watch
Welcome to Wrection, it's you know, the documentary following the Wrecksham,
you know soccer team that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny
purchased a handful of years ago and they've now had
amazing success. But on that show, which by the way,
(33:42):
even if you don't like soccer, it's it's a phenomenal
show to watch, Yeah, Welcome Torection, And in it, Rob
mclelhenny will say many many times that he's TV money
and Ryan's movie money, and that's it's like he's like,
and Rob mcelelhenny was like, look, I wanted to do
this thing, but I knew in order to do this thing,
I can't afford it. I only have TV money. So
(34:04):
I called Ryan, who has movie money and other business money,
and then we can make it happen. So it is
still a difference.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Now Ryan doesn't just have movie money. He's got Marvel money.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, now he's got Marvel money money. But even before that,
I mean, he did the thing that is the ideal thing,
if you can do it. The blueprint is if you can,
you know, have some level of success in whatever your
day job is, take some of that money and then
try to put it into other things so then you're
not reliant on the one thing. He did that. He
did that with mint Mobile, he did that with Aviation Jin,
(34:40):
He's done it with I think a couple of other things.
He's even you know, he and McIlhenny are getting involved
in F one. But having one thing funded these other
things and then those other things also do really well.
And now you've got yourself, you know, a billion dollar
plus empire.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
But I think Deadpool gave him the funds to uh diversify.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Uh huh, I think it was. I think it was
the dead the first Deadpool check is uh probably what
allowed him to go. You know what F one does?
Sound like fun?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Yeah, what's in your portfolio? Deadpool?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
And to be honest with you, that's one of the
reasons why I bought Disney stock many years ago was
because of the Marvel movies and and you know, it's
it's been solid. I mean it's no Netflix, it's no Nvidia,
but it's there, it's doing its thing. I also bought
Netflix that same day, so I'm not doing too chabby
as far as retirement goes. I just didn't have Deadpool
(35:42):
money to buy all the Netflix stock I could. But
you know what was what what did Ryan, our financial guy,
would he tell me something like a four hundred percent something?
I don't know whatever it was. It basically we bought
Netflix at like ninety thing.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Okay, and it's up four now. Wow, now you can
you can literally Netflix and chill.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah. The downside is is I don't get a break
on my subscription fee. Like if if everyone else's fees
go up, so to my But at least at least
it stings a little bit less.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Other birthdays today, so rip to Chandler. Matthew Perry. Today
would have been his fifty sixth birthday. Some other birthdays today.
Jonathan Fraakes gotta be one of Trey's favorites. Who is
Commander Riker on Star Trek the Next Generation. He is
seventy three today.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Wow, you're you're a Star Trek the Next Generation fan?
Oh yeah, oh? Why?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Oh? I got I love that show. God, I've seen
every episode twice.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Okay, well it's good. It's like Dan with bad movies,
bad TV shows.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
That was a great TV show that was At the
time it went off the air, it was the most
syndicated show in history.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
That breaks my heart. And most people don't realize the
original Star Trek was only two seasons.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Two seasons.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Yeah that yeah, I mean it's still on the air,
like you can still watch it.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
And speaking of Star Trek, the creator of Star Trek,
Geene Roddenberry. Today is his birthday, but he passed away
all the way back in nineteen ninety one, so he
was only too he was only able to witness some
level of the success that Star Trek the Next Generation
carried into the nineties.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
And isn't William Shatner like ninety three now or something
weird like that?
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I thinking maybe older than that, But yeah, he's he's
very old and still still going.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah, I see him almost every day on Instagram because
of some underwear ad that someone made him do.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
And then.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Most people don't realize that it was Gene Roddenberry's wife.
Nigel Barrett was the voice of the computer on All
the Star Treks.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Oh okay, but have you seen the William Shatner Rocket Man?
When you have to watch it if you get a chance.
He does his own version because he had an album
that came out. I don't know if you guys know, Oh,
I don't know how an album came out come out,
and he did rocket Man and it is hands down
(38:29):
the funniest thing you will ever see.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Also, he's also one of the most hated people that
you know. No one who ever worked with him likes him?
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Oh really?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Oh well, right about that?
Speaker 4 (38:41):
No I thought Leonard Nimoy did.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
No, the Leonard Nimoy tolerated him. The rest of the
Star Trek crew couldn't stand him.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
T J.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Hooker people couldn't stand him.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
You know you've fed up when when you can't get
along with Adrian's med. Yeah, that man is a jim.

Treehouse on Air at gmail dot com to advertise right
here inside the Treehouse. Yeah, Raj, It's true. What Trey
is saying is absolutely factually accurate. William Shatner is one
(40:03):
of the most hated actors in Hollywood by other actors
people that have worked with him. It's almost unanimous that
they cannot stand him.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
Is it just ego or is it it's just difficult
to work with them and all of it.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Like the Star Trek crew hated him because they said
he would always steal scenes, improvise his own, just put
himself right in the center. I mean, I think James
Dohan and Walter Koenig, I don't think even ever spoke
to him after they were done with the movies.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
And James and James doing that was Scott Scotty Scotty yeah,
and Walter Kanig was.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
What's the guy's name? It was Sulu. I just drawn
George George.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Of all the people of all the Star Trek cast
that hated William Shatner, George de Kay may have hated.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Him the most.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Really, did you ever see the roast of m.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
No, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Go watch George kas roast of William Shatner.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
You just have to. If you get it, Like, just
look up his album and it spoke, so he does
all these yeah spoken.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Word We've heard some of it.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Oh yeah, Russ Russ discovered that. But uh yeah, Mischelle
Nichols couldn't stand him. Yeah, No, literally, I don't remember.
I don't think the Boston I think by the time
he got to Boston Legal, everyone kind of knew what
they were getting and so there wasn't any big surprise.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
And wasn't his character in Boston Legal kind of similar
to that in something? Because I never watched Boston Legal,
so I think they just kind of leaned into it,
so he didn't have to really act that much, and
since that was the character, everyone kind of knew what
to expect him just like, all right, it is what
it is, and we'll just deal with it.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Yeah, no, that that character was written like almost written
for him, because yeah, you never knew what he was
gonna do.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
Denny Crane, he would just I love that he would
just say his name radimly, I'm Danny Crane.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Yeah, he shoots somebody, Denny Crane.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
And he is good. Because look, I never I never
really watched any episodes of Boston Legal, but I know
the Danny Crane thing.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Yeah, And if you also want to see something funny,
watch the Family Guy version of them doing well, of
Stewie doing William Shatner's version of Rocketman as well, just
just put him side by side.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Man. I don't I don't think I've seen that, and
that surprises me because I've seen just about everything Family Guy.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Yes, Stewie Stewie does William Shatner's version of rocket Man,
and it's in that version, like it's just William Shatner
on a stool smoking a cigarette, just doing Rocket Man
and it's the it's the hands down, the dumbest thing ever.
But his popularity was so his popularity was there, so
(43:02):
they're like, hey, let's give him an album. Look, that's
when they would do that back in the day. It's like, hey,
you know who needs an album, Scott Bayo like, let's
give it one.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Nimoy had an album. Nimoy had an album and he
actually sang he had a hit when the bill bo
Baggins dropping. I think that may have gone double platinum
in Middle Earth.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
You know who's got a banger?
Speaker 12 (43:27):
Nimoy said, no one ever.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
All right, so we all have some homework. We need
to go watch uh, William Shatner's Rocketman thing and the
Baby Stewie version. And Raj, you need to see the
roast of William Shatner. You don't even have to watch
the whole thing, Yeah, but you should. If if nothing else,
just watch George Taka's takedown of William Shatner. It'll be
(44:00):
worth all of our time for all things Treehouse, Treehouse

with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trey Trenholm. Trey, you are on the road today joining
us remotely. Where in the world is Trey Trenholme today?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I am in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Ooh, Vegas? How is Las Vegas?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's fine, you know, when you don't drink and you're
not rich. Vegas is very me.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's just a it's just a bunch of bright lights
in the middle of the desert. Uh huh. Just glad
to have running water in a bed, right, Yeah, that's
Vegas has been getting hammered lately, and I'm saying that
is someone that just went through a little bit of
a Category five hurricane over the weekend. I saw a
(01:18):
story recently that tourism is basically in the toilet in
Las Vegas. And it's not just because the economy is
in question in general, but Vegas is kind of in
question and in turmoil because I think the tourists have
finally caught on that they're basically getting ram rotted when
(01:40):
it comes to what things cost, or more specifically, what
they're being charged for things versus what they actually cost,
and it's not brand new, Like everyone knows that if
you go to a pool in Las Vegas, you were
going to be charged out the ass for a cores
or a vodka soda, whatever it is you're buying. I
(02:03):
think I saw a thing, a basket of chicken tenders
was like forty nine dollars, and this is These are
astonishing numbers. But again this I don't think this is
brand new. But because of it, tourists are finally clapping
back and they're not going. They're not showing up to
Vegas like they used to, and when they when when
(02:26):
they do show up, they're apparently not tipping like they
used to because they're fed up with being price gouged.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Like I got up this morning and there's a Starbucks
staying at the Aria, and there's a Starbucks here.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well, my.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Iced cinnamon dulce latte that I normally get, that's normally
I think six seventy five at any other Starbucks is
eleven seventy five here, And yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You know why, it's probably because they think you're a
showgirl without order and they think you can afford it
with all the tips you made last night, not some
blue collar man.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah. Again, I've never claimed to be a manly man.
When it comes to my.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Coffee drinks, I at least say, hey, I don't get
the whip cream.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Also that's your line. Yeah, unless unless that whipped cream
is coming on Ali Larder herself with the coffee drink.
You're a you're a no whip bro yep.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
But yeah, no, everything, Yeah, everything is ridiculously expensive. They've
got a food court here that's somewhat reasonable for for Vegas.
Uh you know, A slice of pizza at one place
was ten bucks and it's a big slice.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I could uh.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You know, I wasn't mad about that. I guess it's
kind of within reason. But now everything here is just ridiculous,
So it doesn't it doesn't shock me that tourism is
down and.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You can kind of tell. Although yo, it's during the week.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I've never really this will be my first time I
think ever really spending any time.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
In Vegas on a weekday. I've always been you know,
Friday through Sunday.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, I think that's how most people are. I found
one of the stories that I did see the once
generous tipping culture of Las Vegas is experiencing a downturn
as visitors push back against soaring prices and declining service
quality across the Strip. According to The New York Post,
servers report that tips have plummeted by as much as
fifty percent compared to previous years. This drop has created
(04:54):
a financial strain for thousands of hospitality workers who depend
on gratuities for their livelihood. One cocktail waitress revealed in
a Reddit forum the subreddit is Vegas Locals that her
average tip per drink has crashed from eighty cents to
just ten cents, while others lament working triple what we
used to do and making a quarter of what we did.
(05:17):
The crisis coincides with an eleven point three percent drop
an overall visitation to Sin City in June compared to
the same month last year. That's according to the Las
Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. International travel to Vegas has
similarly declined by approximately ten percent year over year. Show
(05:37):
it's getting ugly in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, and I think there's something else going on, which
is I think there is a.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Tipping fatigue because.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
And I say this as someone who worked in the
service industry for a very long time. But the fact
that you get asked to tip everywhere is I think
wearing people out, and it's screwing the people that really
do survive on tips. I mean, you're getting asked to
tip people, and most people don't realize it, but a
lot of you know, whether you go to Starbucks or whatever,
(06:16):
they're making a good hourly wage, whereas most like servers
and bartenders are making you know, two thirteen an hour.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Right So, and especially in a place like Vegas that
is so tourism heavy. So I've always loved the way
my wife put it as far as whether or not
you should tip somebody in the service industry, it's basically,
if they touched your food, you should probably tip them.
It's like, Okay, I can wrap my brain around that.
That's good in the broader tourism industry. Though in a
(06:47):
place like Vegas it gets real, you know, heavy, because
you got you've got door people, you've got bell hops
doing luggage, You've like you said, trade, there's so many
people everywhere you turn in Vegas that live on tips.
(07:07):
So it's kind of hard to know, Like, well, who
do you say no to.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Hookers?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well, I wouldn't expect to be on their favorites list
if you ever decide to go back to that particular ranch.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You're in the Treehouse online a treehouse on air dot com.

Well, then you get.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Through fall, we start having a little bit of cooler weather,
we start getting back in the rainy season, and guess what, poof, you.

storms that came through in March, April, May, and then
we had some ones.

is the tree House Show. I'm Daniel Malling along with
Trey Trenholm Raj Sharma popping in the tree House now
(10:35):
as well. Raj, you're a somewhat of a Vegas expert.
You spend a lot of time in Reno as well.
Who are the people that you don't tip.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Who you do not tip meth heads, okay, but everybody else,
I mean, there's really not a door guy anymore. That's
kind of like a few valet you'll have a door guy,
but if you don't like, you don't have to really
worry about that.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
But I'm really angry when it comes to having to
pay for valet at every damn hotel now. And I
don't mean in Vegas. I just mean everywhere, because I'll
still admit this, I've never I've still never been to
Las Vegas. But I can't stand now how every hotel
on the planet now basically says, Okay, the room is
X amount of dollars. Oh, and you have to pay
the park too, whether it's self park or valet, so
good luck with that. It's like what the hell man?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
And sometimes the self park is more expensive than the valet.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And sometimes they don't even give you the option. They
just say, if you want to park with the hotel,
it's valet. There are no other options, or you can
take your you can take your chances with the meth
heads across the street.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
You'll always take the guy that I mean, if you
have a lot of luggage and there's somebody that brings
your bags, you tip them. If there is a door guy,
like in India, like there's door guys, so you tip them.
But in Valet you tip. But outside of that, I
think that's where and wait, staff, I think that's where
it would end.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, well, Vegas isn't sharp. Decline Trey has witnessing it
for us as our Vegas correspondent this week inside the Treehouse.
I don't know if you guys saw this news last month,
but I'm going to share it with you now just
in case you didn't catch it. Scientists are on high
alert as an unidentified object has been detected speeding towards Earth.
(12:26):
The nature of this object remains a mystery, but there's
one expert who is suggesting, yeah, it could be extraterrestrial,
Avi Lobe. It is the professor from Harvard A. VI Lobe.
Professor Lobe has been outspoken about the potential existence of
(12:48):
spaceships in the cosmos and now speculates that this object
could be a mothership.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Despite skepticism from other scientists who argue that the object
is probably just a comet, Professor Lobe cautions that its
appearance might indicate technological design.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, there's one big problem with his theory, and that is,
if it is an extraterrestrial mothership, why is it technically
doing a flyby of Mars? Because its path is it's
close to Mars and it's going to go behind the Sun,
(13:26):
so it's not really supposed to get Now, if it
all of a sudden, you know, makes a left turn
and it comes towards Earth, then yeah, there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
But otherwise, yeah, if it's hanging a Louis in the
middle of the Solar System, then yeah, I think that's
gonna be a bit of a red flag.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yeah, if it flips a bit, we got a problem.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Now, that's an interesting point that you brought up to
the path that it's on, where at one point it
will go behind the Sun, and that's where the mystery
gets well even more mysterious because it was first spotted
on July first. Now, if the object turns out to
be an alien vessel, Professor Lobe estimates that's craft would
arrive on Earth between November twenty first and December fifth
(14:05):
of this year. Okay, so when that Thanksgiving time? And
then what's interesting still about this, Like you mentioned Trey
it's expected that this object will vanish behind the sun
in September and then won't reappear in telescope view until
November or December. I don't know about you, but if
(14:26):
I'm Hollywood, that's how I write this because people are like,
ladie dah, there's an object. But then when it rears
its head, when it comes back around the sun, you're like, oh,
damn aliens.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Oh, I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna go,
why go behind the sun, unless like that's a vacation
spot for them.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I have element of surprise. Maybe they recharge. Maybe there's
a fueling station back there. We don't know about it.
Maybe there's behind the sun.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
But there are things on the other side.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, were just saying, maybe they stop off, get a
little tan m.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Maybe maybe it's it's the enterprise and they're having to
sling shouting around the sun to get back to whatever
time they need to.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I don't know, but according to Professor Lowe, they're coming
and they'll be here sometime between November twenty one and
December fifth, So get your affairs in order.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Huh. Maybe they're on the Epstein list. They're just trying
to get.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Here before those get released. They have plenty of time,
it seems, I.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Mean, maybe maybe maybe it's a it's the new Thanksgiving
and this time we're the Indians.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
And oh no, I'm the Indian tray.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, they just got awkward.

year's Super Bowl halftime show Kendrick Lamar. Now, in the
recent history of Super Bowl halftime performances, when there's an
(17:12):
extreme one way, the pendulum has a tendency to swing
back the other. So in Kendrick Lamar last year, we
had one of the all time great modern rappers. So
would it surprise you at the possibility of a Super
Bowl halftime show this year being led by Taylor Swift?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
No, no, not at all. I mean that's huge ratings.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to book
her five years in a row.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Honestly, it would surprise me if she did it, because
it's not like she needs to now. Granted, most of
the artists that get asked and do play the super
Bowl don't necessarily need it.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I mean, yeah, they don't get it.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, they actually they technically lose money on doing the
super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
It's it's the now.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Again, she doesn't need that either, But and I would
imagine the NFL cough up some money. I mean, did
you see the numbers that New Heights, you know, the
Kelsey Brothers podcast did when she came on there.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Give me, give me the latest numbers you've heard.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I want to say, the last time I heard they
were something like ninety six million views.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The last one I saw was like, and this was
a few days ago, it was sixteen million. I had
may had the most. I think they had the most
live audience in YouTube history at one point, with one
point three million people watching it last Wednesday when it
came out.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Oh, that's when she dropped the new album.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Now, well, yeah, because it was on the show. But yeah, yeah,
I mean it was one point three million people watching
that as it was being released on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So the reason why the super Bowl speculation has popped
up is because, well it's Taylor Swift and her fans
are rabbid and some of the things she discussed on
the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend Travis Kelcey and
his brother Jason was her belief in numerology. Jason also
(19:16):
asked her about Easter eggs.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Go ahead, Trey, I said, across all platforms, it's generated
half a billion views.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Wow, I'm curious to see if I'm curious to see
how high the numbers specifically go on YouTube, because i
think the most watched podcast was Elon Musk's interview on
Rogan's Show on YouTube in I think like twenty eighteen,
and that has somewhere in the neighborhood of sixty five
(19:50):
million views. So I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I thought Trump's Trump's Rogan interviewed.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I think I think all time the Musk when was
a little bit higher, but so Trump one was a
close second.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
If you watched that, so was Elon because he was
a smoking weed with Joe Rogan, so he was higher
for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
So anyway, all the speculation about Taylor Swift and the
Super Bowl is because of what was discussed on the
show with the Kelsey Brothers, numerology and her Easter eggs,
so much so that during the appearance on the show,
she shared that sour dough has taken over her life
(20:33):
and that's what she talks about sixty percent of the time.
Considering she loves baking, the most casual fan probably wouldn't
think much of her saying that, but not the Swifties.
They know Taylor's affinity for inserting Easter eggs into almost
everything and this is no exception. They suspect she might
be the Super Bowl halftime show headliner because number one
(20:55):
super Bowl sixty will go down at Levi's Stadium, home
of the Sarancisco forty nine ers. Their mascot is Sourdough
Sam and her saying that she thinks about sourdough sixty
percent of the time super Bowl sixty.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Also, at the beginning of the episode, Taylor thinks Taylor
thanks Jason Kelcey for screaming like forty seven seconds. Taylor's
forty seventh stop on her Era's tour was none other
than Levi's Stadium. So those put together the Swifties think, ooh,
she's dropping hints.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
And just you know, San Francisco was just known as
the home of sourdough bread just not just so much
the mascot, but still, how depressing is it to be
sourdo Sam?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I mean, you could be, like of all the mascots
in the league, you could be it could be rowdy.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
At least they soward or Sam has a chance for
he's gonna see a Super Bowl long before rowdyever will.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Sad thing is we're probably on like our ninth or
tenth rowdy between super Bowls. I think we've had. I
think we've had fewer rowdies than we have had starting
quarterbacks with the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Rowdy's gonna die, That's what's gonna happen.

Speaking of today, today is Tuesday inside the Treehouse, which
means it's time for tree House talk Back Today. We
(23:20):
have just one, but it's a big one and it's
from Joel.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Joel here, just wondering. As a kid, I remember nineteen years.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Old playing football and a cow pasture, and I'm wondering,
have any of y'all Texans done?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Then?
Speaker 10 (23:49):
I grew up in Virginia, Southern Virginia, so just wondering,
is that a just a Virginian thing? I'm glad moved.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, thank you, Joel, Thank you for ending it in
the classic Treehouse talkback fashion with the.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Oh, Joel sounded like he needs to be the cook
in a like a city on the City Slickers, you know,
the little camping deal. And you know he's on the
back of the stage coach. You know, nickname Wheezy.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
No no, no, no, it's Cookie. It's Cookie. The cook
is nicknamed Cookie. Joel is our Cookie.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
He sounds like he was reciting a letter from the
eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I'll do declare, it's almost like you could hear the
rocking chair on the front porch of his plantation. How yes, uh,
all right? He asked, have any of us played football
in a cal pasture as to he did it in
Virginia as a nineteen year old? Did any of us
(25:03):
ever play football in a cow pasture growing up in Texas?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Tray? Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Really?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Hell back in the day playing at Leonard, we visited
some schools that it literally was a cowpastor that they
just fenced.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Off with barbed wire or do they do something a
little more player friendly?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
No barboire, just to keep the cattle from coming in
there during the game.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's why I asked, because as someone that grew up
up until the age of nine next to my grandfather's
cattle ranch, very familiar with calpastures, very familiar with barb wire. However,
never played football there and that was technically Oklahoma. So
as a Texan though, when I started playing football, no,
we played in stadiums Trey. I think I was curious
(25:54):
because I thought you'd be the X factor here, And
it turns out I was right. You actually did play
some football on a cowpatty, But for most of us
that grew up in the cities, for the most part,
our football was played on an actual football field, Rajen,
assuming that was the case for you in Mesquite, Yes,
no cow pastors.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
We actually had facilities, We actually had places where you practiced.
I know Leonard might have been different, but no.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Leonard wasn't different. But you know, when you play places
like Ladonia.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, Leonard. Leonard was sort of the buffer zone between
the big city and Ladonia.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
The I think the worst I had was there was
a baseball field. I think this was in Louisville. I
played on a baseball field in Louisville. I might have
been Lewisville High School. They had and I still to
this day don't know why. It's the only baseball field
I ever saw that had this. They had pecan shells
on the infield dirt, which was awful. If you've ever
(27:01):
played with or been around broken pecan shells, they're they're
almost like glass. They are sharp. And I still, like
I said, to this day, I don't know why they
had pecan shells on that field. It was awful and
I still might have a few chunks stuck in my
right knee. But football wise, the worst I had was
playing in De Soto when they hadn't replaced their turf
(27:26):
and god knows how many years so their astro turf
field when we played there wasn't really astro turf. It
was basically just a painted green parking lot with lights
around it. I mean, there was no cushion, there was
no give. Playing for Arlington lamar we had our road
white jerseys on and they were covered in green because
(27:48):
I guess they had freshly painted the field. That was
the worst I had. So I know, no no cow
pastures for football for me.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think anybody we played
had something like that. But what the one that the
only thing that scared me was is when we played
and Trey will know this, when we played Highland Park,
uh and these guys came out on the field and
I was like, these are men, these are grown ups.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Well they're also they're also rolling up to the game
of their Mercedes buses.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
We're going to lose. He has a he has a beard.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's how I felt when we did the Kickoff Classic
at Texas Stadium, and it was my school, Lamar High
School playing Kimball Dallas Kimball, Okay and so. And in
the movie Friday Night Lights, when those when those kids
from Permian looked across the field when Dallas Carter came
out and like you said, I mean, they're full on
(28:53):
beards and things. You're like, yeah, this, this isn't normal here.
I think I think that offensive Lineman's children are in
the state along with the wide receivers parole officer.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I think the offensive lineman's children are also playing in
the game.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, it's a family affair.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
I mean, we need to check some my d's.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I will say this though, playing because we did that
two years in a row. Is my sophomore and I
think it was sophomore. In junior year, we played Kimball
High School at the Kickoff Classic at Texas Stadium, first
game of the year, and it was so much fun
to watch the Kimball band at the field. Yeah, and
that's when all of us as the team would look
(29:41):
back at our band and go, why can't you guys
do any of that we had.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
We played Wilmore Hutchins once and their cheerleaders were amazing
and I was like, yeah, you guys. I looked at
our cheerleaders. I'm like, we don't have spirit. Yes they do.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Y'all need to step up your game.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I think they're dancing to Llo cool j Like.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I do miss those days, but thankfully I never had
to never had to juke around any any cowflop in
my playing days. A couple of muddy ant hills is
about it.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, your big helmet would have protected you regardless.
Speaker 1 (30:28):

d Wyatt.

August nineteenth, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays.
I say celebrate, but we're starting off with a sad one.
Matthew Perry would have been fifty six today, but he
(31:44):
left this world in a ketamine fueled not bathtub hot
tub back in twenty twenty three. Legendarily known as Chandler
on Friends, Matthew Perry would have been fifty six today.
And for those that have not seen it, his movie
Fools Rush In with Samahayak. He was one of the
(32:05):
first Friends cast members to really really try to use
the show to jump off into films, and it didn't
really go well for most of them, at least not
for a while. But Fools Rush In, starring Matthew Perry,
Samahayak holds up whenever I am really really hot and
(32:31):
I'm working one of my wife's weddings outside and it's hot,
I still think of the line that he says in
that film, the white people are melting. I mean, you
talk about a line to stick with somebody, and it
really did. That movie really, really really is funny, and
(32:55):
if you haven't seen it, I recommend it. Trey, have
you seen it?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I have seen it. Yeah, it is a good movie.
But you know that was also you talk about the crossover.
That was at a time when there was a distinct difference.
I mean there were if you were a movie star,
there were actors that would give you the advice don't
ever do television.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah sure.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
So you know, it was kind of a different thing
where you know, now I think it's all kind of
jumbled together.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
It is, but it isn't at least maybe depends on
the individual because I don't know. If you guys watch
Welcome to Wrection, it's you know, the documentary following the Wrecksham,
you know soccer team that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny
purchased a handful of years ago and they've now had
amazing success. But on that show, which by the way,
(33:42):
even if you don't like soccer, it's it's a phenomenal
show to watch, Yeah, Welcome Torection, And in it, Rob
mclelhenny will say many many times that he's TV money
and Ryan's movie money, and that's it's like he's like,
and Rob mcelelhenny was like, look, I wanted to do
this thing, but I knew in order to do this thing,
I can't afford it. I only have TV money. So
(34:04):
I called Ryan, who has movie money and other business money,
and then we can make it happen. So it is
still a difference.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Now Ryan doesn't just have movie money. He's got Marvel money.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, now he's got Marvel money money. But even before that,
I mean, he did the thing that is the ideal thing,
if you can do it. The blueprint is if you can,
you know, have some level of success in whatever your
day job is, take some of that money and then
try to put it into other things so then you're
not reliant on the one thing. He did that. He
did that with mint Mobile, he did that with Aviation Jin,
(34:40):
He's done it with I think a couple of other things.
He's even you know, he and McIlhenny are getting involved
in F one. But having one thing funded these other
things and then those other things also do really well.
And now you've got yourself, you know, a billion dollar
plus empire.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
But I think Deadpool gave him the funds to uh diversify.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Uh huh, I think it was. I think it was
the dead the first Deadpool check is uh probably what
allowed him to go. You know what F one does?
Sound like fun?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Yeah, what's in your portfolio? Deadpool?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
And to be honest with you, that's one of the
reasons why I bought Disney stock many years ago was
because of the Marvel movies and and you know, it's
it's been solid. I mean it's no Netflix, it's no Nvidia,
but it's there, it's doing its thing. I also bought
Netflix that same day, so I'm not doing too chabby
as far as retirement goes. I just didn't have Deadpool
(35:42):
money to buy all the Netflix stock I could. But
you know what was what what did Ryan, our financial guy,
would he tell me something like a four hundred percent something?
I don't know whatever it was. It basically we bought
Netflix at like ninety thing.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Okay, and it's up four now. Wow, now you can
you can literally Netflix and chill.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah. The downside is is I don't get a break
on my subscription fee. Like if if everyone else's fees
go up, so to my But at least at least
it stings a little bit less.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Other birthdays today, so rip to Chandler. Matthew Perry. Today
would have been his fifty sixth birthday. Some other birthdays today.
Jonathan Fraakes gotta be one of Trey's favorites. Who is
Commander Riker on Star Trek the Next Generation. He is
seventy three today.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Wow, you're you're a Star Trek the Next Generation fan?
Oh yeah, oh? Why?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Oh? I got I love that show. God, I've seen
every episode twice.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Okay, well it's good. It's like Dan with bad movies,
bad TV shows.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
That was a great TV show that was At the
time it went off the air, it was the most
syndicated show in history.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
That breaks my heart. And most people don't realize the
original Star Trek was only two seasons.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Two seasons.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Yeah that yeah, I mean it's still on the air,
like you can still watch it.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
And speaking of Star Trek, the creator of Star Trek,
Geene Roddenberry. Today is his birthday, but he passed away
all the way back in nineteen ninety one, so he
was only too he was only able to witness some
level of the success that Star Trek the Next Generation
carried into the nineties.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
And isn't William Shatner like ninety three now or something
weird like that?
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I thinking maybe older than that, But yeah, he's he's
very old and still still going.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah, I see him almost every day on Instagram because
of some underwear ad that someone made him do.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
And then.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Most people don't realize that it was Gene Roddenberry's wife.
Nigel Barrett was the voice of the computer on All
the Star Treks.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Oh okay, but have you seen the William Shatner Rocket Man?
When you have to watch it if you get a chance.
He does his own version because he had an album
that came out. I don't know if you guys know, Oh,
I don't know how an album came out come out,
and he did rocket Man and it is hands down
(38:29):
the funniest thing you will ever see.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Also, he's also one of the most hated people that
you know. No one who ever worked with him likes him?
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Oh really?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Oh well, right about that?
Speaker 4 (38:41):
No I thought Leonard Nimoy did.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
No, the Leonard Nimoy tolerated him. The rest of the
Star Trek crew couldn't stand him.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
T J.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Hooker people couldn't stand him.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (38:52):

is saying is absolutely factually accurate. William Shatner is one
(40:03):
of the most hated actors in Hollywood by other actors
people that have worked with him. It's almost unanimous that
they cannot stand him.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
Is it just ego or is it it's just difficult
to work with them and all of it.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Like the Star Trek crew hated him because they said
he would always steal scenes, improvise his own, just put
himself right in the center. I mean, I think James
Dohan and Walter Koenig, I don't think even ever spoke
to him after they were done with the movies.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
And James and James doing that was Scott Scotty Scotty yeah,
and Walter Kanig was.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
What's the guy's name? It was Sulu. I just drawn
George George.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Of all the people of all the Star Trek cast
that hated William Shatner, George de Kay may have hated.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Him the most.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Really, did you ever see the roast of m.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
No, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Go watch George kas roast of William Shatner.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
You just have to. If you get it, Like, just
look up his album and it spoke, so he does
all these yeah spoken.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Word We've heard some of it.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Oh yeah, Russ Russ discovered that. But uh yeah, Mischelle
Nichols couldn't stand him. Yeah, No, literally, I don't remember.
I don't think the Boston I think by the time
he got to Boston Legal, everyone kind of knew what
they were getting and so there wasn't any big surprise.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
And wasn't his character in Boston Legal kind of similar
to that in something? Because I never watched Boston Legal,
so I think they just kind of leaned into it,
so he didn't have to really act that much, and
since that was the character, everyone kind of knew what
to expect him just like, all right, it is what
it is, and we'll just deal with it.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Yeah, no, that that character was written like almost written
for him, because yeah, you never knew what he was
gonna do.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
Denny Crane, he would just I love that he would
just say his name radimly, I'm Danny Crane.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Yeah, he shoots somebody, Denny Crane.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
And he is good. Because look, I never I never
really watched any episodes of Boston Legal, but I know
the Danny Crane thing.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Yeah, And if you also want to see something funny,
watch the Family Guy version of them doing well, of
Stewie doing William Shatner's version of Rocketman as well, just
just put him side by side.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Man. I don't I don't think I've seen that, and
that surprises me because I've seen just about everything Family Guy.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Yes, Stewie Stewie does William Shatner's version of rocket Man,
and it's in that version, like it's just William Shatner
on a stool smoking a cigarette, just doing Rocket Man
and it's the it's the hands down, the dumbest thing ever.
But his popularity was so his popularity was there, so
(43:02):
they're like, hey, let's give him an album. Look, that's
when they would do that back in the day. It's like, hey,
you know who needs an album, Scott Bayo like, let's
give it one.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Nimoy had an album. Nimoy had an album and he
actually sang he had a hit when the bill bo
Baggins dropping. I think that may have gone double platinum
in Middle Earth.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
You know who's got a banger?
Speaker 12 (43:27):
Nimoy said, no one ever.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
All right, so we all have some homework. We need
to go watch uh, William Shatner's Rocketman thing and the
Baby Stewie version. And Raj, you need to see the
roast of William Shatner. You don't even have to watch
the whole thing, Yeah, but you should. If if nothing else,
just watch George Taka's takedown of William Shatner. It'll be
(44:00):
worth all of our time for all things Treehouse, Treehouse

Treehouse on Air. For me, it's at the Daniel Mallley.
For Trey it's at Trede Turn Home one. And for
Raj at comedian Raj, we will see you back in
