Speaker 1 (00:17):
It is time to leave your warriors outside and life
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
Trey Trenholm, Raj Sharma and Jerry Caldwell. Today is right day,
August twenty second, twenty twenty five. You have reached the
(00:40):
end of your week. Hopefully not the end of your rope.
But if you have, then we'll make your exit from
this plane to the other just a little bit funnier.
Could also just be really funny, as if the noose
you've hanged yourself from the ceiling fan snaps and you
go flinging across the room into the wall. Man, I
(01:05):
can't even do that, right, Yeah, that's dark, but whatever,
All right, here we go. We're going from dark to light?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Am I the dark?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Oh? You're you're gonna be in this pile? Rush? Here
we go. Twice a month, six men gather to help
each other work through past traumas their chosen method of
healing cuddles. That's right. It may seem odd, but members
(01:40):
of the Men's Therapeutic Cuddle Group say the practice is
help them cope with everything from childhood abuse to the
loss of family members when they were young. So in
case you didn't pick up what I was throwing down.
There's a men's cuddling group and they aim to read
a fine masculinity and heal trauma.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
There's I mean, yeah you can. It's called the round
Up in Dallas. Uh Rattlesnakes, I mean j R's.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Big Men's Cuddling Group.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, there's there's a whole weekend called the tb ru
the Texas Bear round Up.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I was about to say they're all bears. They called
cuddling something called hibernating.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I don't know how. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
A group of men in a group of men in
Pennsylvania meet twice a month to cuddle. Members of the
Men's Therapeutic Cuddle Group say the practice has helped them
cope with loss and trauma. One cuddle. One cuddle is
called the motorcycle hold. That's where one man sits with
his back against another man's chest as if they were
(02:59):
riding a motors Then there's another cuddle that they referred
to as a puppy pile. For those that are curious
about the puppy pile, the puppy pile is where they
(03:20):
have their heads in one another's lapse, asking for time,
asking for help.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Asking for belly rubs.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And this is why, this is why I hate Eagles
fans uh.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Pennsylvania, hold me, hold me while we chan't eat a
g l e Yes, this.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Is where they ca this is where they originated the
tush push promise.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You all started in a cuddle group now and it's spilled.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Out onto the field after the puppy.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
This group is not brand new. This group is two
years old and it's drawn men from various backgrounds. One
of the men in this cuddle group is a thirty
seven year old Mormon who works as an airport gate agent.
The other another is a real Yes, another is a
fifty seven year old married father of three. There's also
(04:25):
a sixty two year old retiree that's pretty fantastic being
sixty two and actually retired in this day and age.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Good on here and for everybody to find out you're
gay at that age.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'm glad you said that, Raj, because at a time
when traditional ideas of manhood are facing scrutiny and such
terms as toxic masculinity are becoming more widely known through
the Me Too movement, the Men's Cuddle Group aims to
provide new ways for men to express themselves.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Just look at TRACE's face and you can see what's
happening world. And he's in Vegas, where there's a lot
of people cuddly.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
If there's any city in this country that the cuddle
group would be welcomed with open arms, it's lads Vegas.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I mean, did they all go to the blue Oyster bar?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I mean oil can.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Harry's Scott Turner says in this story, so often we're
taught that to be an emotional stoic is the mark
of manhood. Scott is a forty six year old interior
designer and co founder of the group You Don't Say.
(05:40):
He says, if you show any emotional weakness or vulnerability,
that's a failure to your title of a man. But
if we expect men to be emotionally sensitive to the
needs of others, they first need to be able to
build an emotional vocabulary. Part of that involves learning that
physical touch extends beyond aggression or sex. Platonic effect can
be a doorway to emotional closeness or, in this case,
(06:04):
a men's cuddle group.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, but riding bitch on a motorcycle with another man
is just gay?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Who's Harley, and who's Davidson.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Doesn't really matter as long as you're both in leathers chaps.
I assume you just take turns.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't know who's the old lady. I just I
do like being that this is in Pennsylvania. I do
in my head.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
I just I envisioned the deal with this. This is
the spot where Steelers and Eagles fans come together.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Right in the middle of the state to watch the giants.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Unlike professional cuddling services, which are gaining popularity in cities
across the United States, this men's cuddle group charges no
fees and members are not required to undergo any sort
of training. The meetups are not open to the public.
They the members must first be interviewed and approved. And
in case you're curious, the meetups is actually spelled m
(07:25):
E E T, not E A T.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And what what members are being interviewed? Because that could
be that could mean something completely different.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
There's a there's another section of this story in bold
titled a group demonstration, and I don't know if I'm
prepared for that.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No one is till meeting to.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
That's more of a second meeting type of thing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You don't hunk away from that one.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
More of a crawling thing.

now transition from the men's cuddle club to something a
little more broad and perhaps a little less controversial, but
still fun. Okay, Trey, if I remember correctly, you went
to sleep away camp as a kid? Right? Yes, raj
(09:40):
did you.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Go to a camp?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
All right, me and neither I didn't go either, Jerry.
Did you ever go to a sleep away camp as
a kid?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
All right? Would you go to a sleep away camp
as an adult for adults?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, that's called a cult.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well let's let's wait here. There might be more to
this than than than your cynicism. Okay, okay, Uh, this
is a thing. Overnight camps are increasingly popular in catering
to solo travelers who are looking for in person connection.
This goes a little bit to Trey's new found openness
(10:28):
to trying different things like doing a dating event, being
open to online dating or speed dating. Would you Tray
be open to the idea of going to an adult
sleep away camp?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Truth matter is, I actually looked into one and it
was just over. Uh it's actually going on right now.
It's a sober camp that they do in California. Uh,
it's like four days and outdoor stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So yeah, So this is actually something that's becoming more
and more popular, especially in the century of solitude. That's
part of what the twenty first century has been dubbed
by some people, because loneliness, according to some experts, isn't epic.
Is an't epidemic. At camp, social creating chemistry is everything.
(11:17):
Campers are divided by age, which range from people in
their twenties up to their sixties, and they're divided not
just by age but also into bunks of eight to ten.
Each is staffed with a trained counselor who serves as
a camp concierge and bonding facilitator, even tasked with coming
up with a bunk cheer. During the day. The adult
(11:41):
campers get to create their own schedules from a buffet
of traditional activities including boating, archery, ropes, courses, bracelet making,
waterfront whatever that is, ti die and tennis I'm sure pickleball,
banks and appearance in there as well, And there are
even some adult embellishments paint and sip and mix. Ala
classes can also be chosen, and the standard cost eight
(12:05):
hundred and eighty three dollars for two nights and three days.
Adult sleep away camps are becoming more and more popular
ra as you say.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
No, oh, well, I don't want to be around that
many white people.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I've seen a photo of one of these camps. It's
not all white people.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh. They have to have a counselor.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And or an Indian that owns the cabins.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You'd rather own the adult sleep away camp than attended,
is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
That's correct.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
For two nights. Hell yeah, you're in.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think this is a fascinating thing, because it really is.
I mean, this is something that as adults, I think
we all can agree on. It's weird slash difficult to
just make new friends, and doing something like this, I
feel like you'd almost be guaranteed to get at least
one new friend out of it.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Well, I think there's something okay, I think there's something
to be said for the fact that a lot of
it isn't so much people are lonely, But I think
there's a difference between lonely and not wanting to be alone.
And I think especially a lot of people our age,
have gotten to a point where and this is and
(13:26):
I know this is probably my biggest problem is I
don't necessarily want to be alone, but I'm very comfortable
being alone. And that's one of the reasons why I'm
trying to do this stuff, is get myself out of
that habit, because if it keeps going, I will be
just a hermit. Yeah, I mean as far as you know,
(13:47):
give me, you know, a dog or two, and I'm
I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, yeah, But eight hundred and eighty three dollars to
make one new friend, I don't I don't like the
return on investment.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Well, if you don't just from a transaction, you know, standpoint,
you have to If you're just thinking I'm gonna spend
almost nine hundred dollars to make a new friend, then
that's the wrong way to approach it. Instead, you're spending
that for the experiences and for the lodging in which
you get to share a room with seven to nine
other people.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yes, I'd rather pay the Spirit Airline, you know, three
hundred dollars a round trip flight to Pennsylvania and just
cuddle with those guys.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
The cuddle group is free.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
It is free the charge, but you're gonna pay it.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But as far as the adult sleep away camp, I
think there's a reason why this is gaining in popularity. Look,
if you have any sort of a club or a
trip type package whatever, you don't need to win over everybody.
You just need to win over enough people to make
it worthwhile. And honest to God, there is no doubt
that inside this treehouse, Trey is our biggest cynic about things.
(15:00):
And there's value in that. And if Trey our biggest
cynic is like, yeah, I'd do it, we all should
look at ourselves and think, well, what is why are
we being so snarky about it?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Well, I think one of the First of all, I mean,
you say four hundred and forty a night, Like if
you think about going on vacation, by the time you
pay for a hotel meals everything else, You're not far
from that as far as it's really cost, especially.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
If you're trying to rent something on Airbnb, because it
says one hundred and forty nine per night, but when
you get the bill it for the weekend, it still
ends up being a thousand dollars because of all the fees.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Well, and one of the things I think is, and
I'm finding this out personally, although I've been in an
industry where I was around people all the time, but
on the on the working side of a bar, one
of these things that really they help you do is
kind of retrain yourself to socialize because for a lot
(15:54):
of people, you kind of have been hanging out by yourself.
And it sounds stupid, but it comes harder and harder
the more you're alone to interact with with, especially a
big group of people you don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
See now, I never did camp as a kid. A
we couldn't really afford it, and B even if we
could have. That was baseball season for me. I was
playing baseball. I didn't want to take a week or
two or however long some of these camps would be
and miss baseball. That was what I wanted to do.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
I just I just figured you weren't defective enough for
those camps.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Was a camp big pencil? Is that what it was called.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, that's a different camp. That's a different camp than
you went to Trey. That's with your normal size head.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That's a camp where nobody knows their own strength.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Or our names. That's why it's written on everything.

It wasn't that long ago we were worried about murder hornets.
Then we were worried about the crazy large stick insects
(17:43):
from Australia. Then it was the bunnies with tentacles growing
out of their heads. Then the radioactive wasps found in
a Cold War era nuclear facility in South Carolina. Now
radioactive shrimp. This is how far we have fallen radioactive shrimp.
(18:07):
The FDA is warning the public not to eat or
serve certain frozen certain frozen shrimp sold at Walmart, saying
it may have been contaminated with unsafe levels of radiation that,
if consumed, could lead to an elevated risk of cancer.
A post on Walmart's website says that now recalled shrimp
was sold in Walmart stores in thirteen states, including the
(18:29):
Great State of Texas. So keep that in mind. Take
a look at your shrimp if you bought it from Walmart,
and uh, maybe check some barcodes and whatever, or just
turn off the lights and see if it blows.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Or and hear me out on this, take it away,
don't buy.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
Shrimp at Walmart. There you go.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That's gonna say the same thing.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I saw your face.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You got this one, brother.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You're saying you don't trust Walmart and their seafood department.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
You know I'm gonna say, if I'm gonna splurge on seafood, no,
not gonna go on Walmart.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Go to Walmart.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I don't want I don't want the prices to keep
falling on my seafood, I'll develop.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
A shellfish allergy immediately. Like, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The thing you want falling at Walmart is the radiation
levels in their seafood department. That is what you want
to see fall If you went.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
To Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
If you went to someone's house and they're like, hey,
we got some shrimp cocktail, I'm like, oh man, where'd
you get the shrimp from Walmart?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Would you leave?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I know I would, like it was really nice meeting
you people. There's something wrong with you guys.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I like how you're passing judgment on this when you're
the guy that bought a turkey from Dollar General.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
No, no, the ninety nine cent store. You you.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Get your and it was eleven and a half pounds
and we made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It wasn't radioactive you're aware of.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Did you turn off the lights to see.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
If I could see my Do you think I would
still stick around?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Did you run a black light over your Dollar Store turkey?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
No, it's not it's not a it's a Santana poster.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm just saying, I like, I don't know what the
what the methodologies are to test the shrimp to see
if it is in fact radioactive. My first thoughts are
very rudimentary, and that turn off the lights doesn't glow
and run a black light over it to see if
anything on it glows. The thing is, even if it's
Walmart shrimp, something may pop in a black light and
it may not be you know, radiation, It just could
(20:58):
be something else disgusting.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
If you run a black light in your house today,
how was that like, Buddy, it's gonna look like.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
A jack you know.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'm glad you brought that up because I remember when
those stories on the news were huge and they're like, oh,
we read a black light test at this hotel room
and it's it's covered, and stop do that at home.
I'm pretty sure just about everybody's house has some interesting
and quizzical stains.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
If you run a black light over the entire place.
I didn't know you liked van go oh, I don't.
It's just what this looks like. I'm an impressionist.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I'm not just into painting them. I'm also into leaving them.
See once again, Well, typically we go for the low
hanging fruit. On occasion, we will swing from the tree
tops with our human because we just took a story
about radioactive shrimp and got an impressionist punchline out of it.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I didn't know that's impressive. I don't know you were
in rah No, I'm not uh, I have I b s.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
We know the difference between money and mayonnaise.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
We can end the show now.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
That was low and highbrow all at the same time.

it you were saying in the break is what's your
favorite thing about this show.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I always know when Trey's gonna take it away, Like
there's a look on his face and I kind of
point and subscribe on PATREONAU you can so you can
watch the video, but you can see me point. I'm like, yep,
this is where take away ray. I'm just saying anything.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, yeah, And I'm with you. I know that face
as well. It's like you look, you look over a train,
but like, yeah, he's got something. Let's just all all
back away and let him have his moment.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The one eyebrow goes up and then that that smirk happens,
and I'm like, okay, this is about to be a
great punch line.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Because he stews in it for a second, Like if
you watch it long enough, he stits in it for
a second. He's like like he's doing the wording in
his head.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And I'm like, oh yeah, because because once the eyebrow,
once the eyebrow hits its peak, that's when the light
bulb goes and he's got it.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, And I can see it, and you'll you'll see
me leaning back.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I'll just be like, take away buddy, Oh you my friend,
I don't know, just smit bulling here. Maybe don't buy shrimp,
but war.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Why is your word?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
And I'll stand but I'll stand by that.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
In general.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, hill trade.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Something fish sticks, fish sticks, right, that's the Gordon's fisherman rights.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
That's what we're But if somebody was, like, if you
went to a party and somebody's walking by with a
plate of Walmart crab cakes, are you are you staying.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I'm not going near the crab cakes.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It funny you say that, because like when I go
when I go to the store, and in the seafood
section where there's the frozen seafood, it's like the big
box store, you know, like if you go into a
Costco or whatever. The one I go to in the
frozen food section, which is right next to the meat,
that's why I see it. I don't typically I'm not
going towards the frozen seafood, but I see it. In
(25:44):
the frozen seafood section, there's bags of various types of
fish and shellfish, and I'll see the name on it.
The name says see Best. But every time I see it,
my brain reads it as sea beast, and that's what
I assume they serve in those individually packaged frozen pieces
(26:06):
of fish.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Take away.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
You live on an island surrounded by the sea.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You can just fish.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yes, you are in the frozen food section because, like
I said, it's in the same aisle with the meat.
Like you go down the aisle at costumeless on the left,
and the left is like the ground meat, the steaks,
the chicken, the pork. On the right it's the frozen
(26:52):
seafood cabinet.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
You also live on the isle. You live on an island,
and I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Going to share something with you that is very, very
catastrophic to common sense. When living on an island in
the Caribbean like I do, seafood, especially cheap seafood, is
actually difficult to come by.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Uh you mean the ocean.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yes, right, it is. Now, I believe me. I'm with you.
The first, the first entree I ever ordered in these
islands was was blackened mahi with rice and vegetables. It
cost me twenty eight dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, that was shamed of yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
That was in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
As much as reasons for this, please joy, as.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Much as I hate to do this and bail Dan
out having visited him on the Island. I will have
to say I was shocked at the lack of seafood
options available.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, and there are a couple of reasons why. Number One,
the main fish in the Caribbean waters around here is mahi,
which is a generic white fish. It's just it's just
a white fish. It's there. It's like, okay, outside of that,
you get some snapper and.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
The Kansas fish.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
It is, it really is. It's the basic white fish.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Maybe a little math.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's on all but but the mahi here really is.
I mean, it's like Caribbean waters, they're warm, and because
the water, because the water temperatures are warm, you don't
get as much good diversity with the marine life.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
You go to some place like Alaska, a Maine, that's
where you get those big, crazy sized lobsters because that
water is dark and dingy and full of nutrients. Here
it's just pretty clear water, which is kind of ironic.
When you see people snorkeling, it's like, you're not gonna
see it whole lot up up at the shore. It's
like a couple of white fish. That's it. You want
to see some stuff, you got to go out beat
(29:07):
and if you want to go fishing. To catch your
own fish, you need a really big pole.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
There's so much irony.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It really is. It really is. You gotta go so
deep and keeping in mind rags when you buy some
when you buy stuff. And this goes back to what
I was saying. Paying almost thirty dollars for a plate
of fish that was caught in the water next to
the place I was ordering it, I realized, I'm not
paying just for the fish. I'm not paying just for
the cook to cook it. What we're paying for is
(29:39):
the astronomical price of electricity here is to be able
to eat that plate of food with the lights on.
The US Virgin Islands is in the top five places
in the world for electricity cost And I mean that's
why half the time our lights are out because the
company that runs it don't feel like turning it on
because it's pricey.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
I'm just saying, I'm Indian. I'll eat fish sticks in
the dark. I know where the catchup is.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
So I mean the same thing could be said to you.
It's like you go to go to a seafood place
to get some fish when you could go to Lake
Louisville and you know, rip it out of an alligator's mouth,
just like anybody else.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
First of all, do you think I fish.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
You've known me, I get manicures.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
You can take care of yourself and still go fishing.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
That's not true at all.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Those two sentences have never happened together ever.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
My mother used to hold my hand and go, you'll
never do a hard day's work because your hands are
so soft.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
That's correct, mama.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Maybe maybe we should normalize that hanging out with the guys,
drinking some beer, going fishing, and then ending the day
with a manny patty.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I call going fishing going to nates. Uh. That's that's
pretty good. That's what I know.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
In some places they will combine the two worlds, and
that's where you get the tiny fish. They eat all
the gunk off of your feet, you get the fishy pedicure.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I have done that in Bangkok. That it is very interesting.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I'm gonna take those two things you two just said
and isolate them and take them wildly out of context. Yes,
because in Bangkok it tickled.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah, I was talking about the fish. I don't know
what Jerry was talking about.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
It doesn't matter what you say here. I have those
two clips that will be isolated in perpetuity. No one
will know what you were referring to.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Notice how quiet I stayed on that one.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
He's like, wants good clean audio on this was like
I did that in Leonard and you're like, I don't
think them was fish.

Fred Day August twenty second, twenty twenty five, the day
we learned that that Raj had a fish pedicure.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
And it's also a pedicure. What that's a I'll tell you.
You almost said fist pedicure and I.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Was like, almost dead. Look, you went to Bangkok and
whatever happened happened.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I mean that that that did happen as well, but
that was not what I was talking about.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
You had fish suck on your feet and you had
a fist do something whatever. It's Bangkok, I imagine, you know,
anything goes.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Anyway, today is Fred Day August twenty second, twenty twenty four,
I'm sorry, twenty twenty five birthdays today. British singer du
Aalipa turns thirty. If she couldn't sing, The good news
is if she couldn't sing, she'd still make a phenomenal
topless dancer, because I mean she kind of already is
(33:56):
at her shows. I've seen a few clips online and
the she good.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Oh yeah, she's beautiful. Is she still dating Trevor and Noah?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I don't think she is at all.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Last she did before.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah, I saw something a while back. It was like,
oh do it. It's like a TMZ thing that you
sent Raj. You sent a story to TMZ and then
over off on the side. It was like, do Alipa
on vacation with such and such boyfriend? But what.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Callum Turner? Okay whoever that is?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Well, uh, you know what hats off to him.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And Dua means blessings. It's a Muslim name. Book, Muslim
name means blessing.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Well, blessings upon her and anyone who's who's looking onto it.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Do.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Alipa turns thirty today. Ross Markwand is forty four. He
played Aaron in The Walking Dead. Does a phenomenal Matthew
McConaughey impersonation. And I always forget the actor's name. He
played the Red Skull in the first Captain America movie,
and I think it's the same actor who played Agent
(35:13):
Smith in the Matrix movies. Yes, So, Ross Markwand does
such a good impression of that actor that he's the
one voicing the Red Skeleton in Infinity War and Endgame,
not the actual actor that did it in the first
Captain America movie.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
I was Hugo Weaving.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Hugo Weaving, thank you, Thank you, Jerry.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Ross markwan does such a good Hugo Weaving impersonation that
he took Hugo Weaving's role in the MCU or he's.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
The only person that does a Hugo Weaving impersonation.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah, And I think part of the reason why is
because Hugo Weaving was like I'm going to need more
money to reprise my role as the Red Skull, and
they said, oh, I got bad news because there's this
other bro who does you for a lot cheaper.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
It's in Iron Man.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
It was Don Cheedle. Uh, We're good with you, buddy.
We can find somebody else through.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Marvel will find a way. Marvel is like life. Marvel
will find a way.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
The Another good example of that is Jerry helped me
with her name in Avengers Infinity War, the little like
the Warriors that Thanos sends out, the female one that
fights Captain America and Scarlett Johansson right, the female warrior.
I think it's Proximo whatever. A certain actress played that
(36:38):
role in Infinity War. When it came time for her
contract for Endgame, she wanted more money and Marvel said not,
We're good. So that's why she has no speaking role
or anything it Avengers End Game. When she gets brought
back with Thanos's army, she's just there and immediately gets
smoked by the lady. From what it.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Started out as Carrie Coon and then she was replaced
with Carrie Woolgren.
Speaker 8 (37:09):
With Hugo Weaving.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Keep in mind he's you know, following it from the
matrix and then Lord of the Rings. He wasn't hurting
for cash.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
No you no, definitely not. It was just like, look,
here's here's here's here's my rate, and Marvel said no,
and he's like okay, And then they got some other
guy who just happened to have an impression of him.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Yeah, Hobbit money might be one of the few moneys
that's equal to Marvel money.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yes, Harry Potter too.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
I mean he might be the Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
You're listening to the Treehouse visitors online that Treehouse on
Air dot com.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
What is it? RAJ looked like you had something.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Oh no, I'm sorry. I was thinking about something else.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Okay, all right, well, nothing to see here.
Speaker 8 (38:05):
Then you're in the Treehouse.
Speaker 7 (38:23):
Visit us online at Treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
We're all days Treehouse. Go to Treehouse on Air dot com.
Past shows, links, Contactic banboord in it all the day
a Treehouse on Air dot com. All right, there actually
(39:14):
are a couple of other birthdays I want to throw
out before we take off for the end of the week.
Here inside the Treehouse, loosely related to the conversation we
were having about Hugo Weaving not only being in the
MCU then replaced, he was also in the Hobbit movies.
(39:36):
Well he's not by himself. Richard Armitage is fifty four today.
He played Hydra assassin Heinz Krueger in Captain America and
Thorn Oakenshield, leader of the Dwarfs in the Hobbit movies. Yeah,
(39:57):
we got both those checks.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yep, ye nice.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
That's one of those that I don't even know what
sort of royalties the original Lord of the Rings cast
members got from those films. But seeing as how they
all got out and got tattoos together, I don't know why.
I mean, sure it was a bonding thing, but I'm
also thinking that they're like, I'm assuming it was a
(40:24):
dollar sign that they got tattooed themselves.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah. You really haven't seen a lot of Sean Aston
since then, And.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
When I have seen him, I've seen a lot of
him because he looks like Aston, because he got that
Hobbit money. He's like, you got that Hobbit money. You
you're going to Sizzler.
Speaker 5 (40:46):
You got the second Breakfast Lunch in.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
The Breakfast Club four fourth meal, ninth Lunch Night Lunch
I mean he did, he did do the was it
Stranger Things season? Yeah, two, two or three, whichever one
it was. But again, that's one of the things. He's
(41:11):
doing it because he wants to. It's certainly not because
he needs to. And this is a guy who has
had a hell of a career, one of the few
Hollywood stars that started out as a child star and
survived it. Maybe partly do because he's from you know,
one of those Hollywood NEPO kids. Maybe they're better equipped
(41:33):
to deal with that stuff if their parents are also stars.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Maybe the training from Rudy helped, maybe you know, get
get get him into the you know regiment of book
a diet and exercience.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
And yeah, well you know what might have gotten him
in shape to play Rudy was the role he played
in nineteen ninety one's action packed epic Toy Soldiers that you.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
And eight other people saw.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Ryan and Will Wheaton with whe and Jerry m.
Speaker 5 (42:12):
Yeah, he started out with that Goonies money he did.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
That's what that's true. It was one of he's one
of the few Hollywood, you know, child actors that has
not really had any major blips along his career. He's
actually seemed to be pretty normal as much as you
can be.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
Well, it's I was just googling it, and he only
technically made two hundred and fifty thousand for the Lord
of the Rings.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
But also there's a.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
Deal that says none of the cast they all agreed
to not disclose what they made off that third and
final Lord of the Rings the Return of the King.
And I'm guessing if they if he was working for
two hundred and fifty thousand, he was getting points on
the back end.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Oh for sure, he's oh, yeah, suck he good.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
I mean it's like Keanu Reeves gave the Matrix. I
think the last Matrix. He gave his money to the
cast outside the crew.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Because he made so much backend money on the first two.
He's like, do you guys keep this?
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah, I don't know. He's he's very giving. It's like,
I don't need all this. Besides, I'm about to go
make six john Wick films.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Which Ballerina came out, and it's like, I'll make that
one too.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Sure sounds good.
Speaker 4 (43:29):
But have you ever seen the deal where they were
about to nix the john Wick the first one? Oh yeah,
and Eva Longoria like showed six million dollars to keep
it going.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
She's the producer.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Yeah, well and now she owns a soccer team, so.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Now she owns Manchester United.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Yeah, it just really goes to show. I mean, you
can invest in the video all you want, but if
you can buy a couple of shares a key ONU
reves you doing good.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
They were going to shut it down and he kind
of went to her and was like, you know, the
movie's over, and she Trey said, pulled out six million
dollars and was like.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
To me, that's also odd because it's not like Keanu
didn't have it. I don't know why he didn't fork
it over.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Oh he put in some of his That's why he's
also one of the executive producers.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
So he put man they just still needed more.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Yes, yeah, so uh and now they own the world.
They're the rothschilds. That's who they are. They're the Illuminati,
that's they are.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Yeah, it turns out the Illuminati isn't as bad as
you think it is. The Illuminati can't do anything geopolitically
because they're too busy making john Wick Films.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Also goes WHOA.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
So that's actually the slogan for the Illuminati. Now for
all things Treehouse, go to Treehouse on air, dot com,
find and follow us on social.
Speaker 4 (45:13):
And just and to just put a boat's eye on
the entire week. And clearly the Illuminati love hot latinas too.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Well done, sir.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
I see that face, I'm like, you've got it.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
A empty cinnamon Latina football
