Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at
YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
Trey Trenholm and Jerry Caldwell, also perhaps joined today by
Raj Shima. I hope you're feeling better.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Bud, as good as I can be, especially.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
If you get that microphone turned on. It's a big
step in the right direction. Glad to see you upright. So,
speaking of individuals that are upright or actually not normally
upright in what sounds like it should be the title
of a new video of hers on OnlyFans, Bonnie Blue
Goes to Jail. Oh, Bonnie Blue, the online OnlyFans porn star,
(01:20):
faces up to fifteen years in jail in Indonesia after
being detained over a bang bus stunt in Bali. Wow,
what happens in Bali can get your ass landed in jail.
I'd like to point out here, while I'm trying not
to be judging about it, sex work is a sometimes
(01:42):
noble profession. It is known as the oldest profession. I'm
not really typically one to slam on anyone for how
they get their bag. But I would like to point
out that if you're going to get that bag in
a foreign nation doing some very tawdry things, it might
be a good idea to check the local laws before
you do them, especially in a place that is at
least partially run by Sharia law.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yeah, it still believes in canings.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yes, we're talking about the country back in like the
early mid two thousands started international furor because it had
sentenced a teenager to a public caning for I think
drug possession or something. I don't even remember what it was,
but it was something extremely innocuous and he was going
to have to endure like one hundred lashes from a
(02:29):
cane type of thing. Right, So I was like, Okay,
this sounds familiar, Like I feel like Indonesia's the place
these types of things happened. So I googled it and
I couldn't even find the original story because it is
littered with a layer of bodies that have come between
the story I was looking for and this one, including
one back in twenty nineteen or a teenager in one
particular province in Indonesia was caned for cuddling cuddling, and
(02:59):
this is the area where she thought it'd be a
good idea to do a bang bus thing with a
bunch of tourists. Seriously, do a Google search before you
go on sex tour. It might save your life. That's
my professional original advice.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
The original kid I think was got busted like graffeeding
a wall.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I think it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I think it was a minor vandalism. Yeah, you're right.
I think that's.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Drug possession in Indonesia is a zero tolerance, so it's
death penalty immediately.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The if prosecuted and found guilty under the law. Bonnie Blue,
who gained fame for having sex with one thy fifty
seven men in twelve hours in a documentary about her career, face,
is up to fifteen years in prison in Indonesia and
finds up to six billion rupeya approximately five hundred and
forty one thousand dollars, which are the maximum penalties. I
(03:56):
like how the headline on Newsweek they show a lot
of deference towards her. Bonnie Blue could face fifteen years
in Bali jail after alleged peign offenses. I think she's
probably guilty of the porn part of it whether or
not you know, legally in indonesia's the question. The UK
national he real named Tia Billinger is twenty six, could
(04:18):
face fifteen years a fine and this one says three
hundred and sixty thousand dollars if convicted. Maybe this is
the adjusted for you know, currency exchange. According to local media,
she was detained after taking part in what police described
as a ranchy game with British and Australian tourists aged
between nineteen and forty. A spokesperson for the police force
(04:41):
told Indonesian news outlets when they were rated, they were
making collab content about a game where the winner would
sleep with Bonnie Blue. No pornographic activities or acts have
been found in the collaborative content. A newsweek reached out
to Bonnie's publicist and the Indonesian Foreign Office for a
comment and so far reverently received that. But you know,
(05:06):
it's going to be an interesting international incident that Bonnie
Blue has opened her legs and cost.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, she's gonna be able to sleep with the fifteen
Indonesian women every day. That's so good for her. You
want to set a record there it is.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, I've really I cannot stress this enough. I get it. Like,
if you want to be controversial, but you we've seen
this so many times with media stunts and things. If
you're going to be controversial, be at least semi aware
of your surroundings when you do it, Like, is the
(05:47):
controversial thing you're doing going to kill you in a
particular country. Like it's one thing like the old Opian
Anthony's stunt with Sam Adams where they're doing the sex
scavenger hunt around New York and they got in major
trouble for a couple doing to bobo dance inside Saint
Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. At least I was America.
(06:11):
Do that in another country and everyone's gonna die. And
that's what Bonnie Blue is now facing. I mean she's
not facing death, but you know, serious imprisonment in a
country where I'm sure she wouldn't want to be in
the normal parts of Is she still in custody She's
still detained.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
She was arrested during a raid at a rented villa
studio in Bali. According to a UK news outlet, she's
since been Oh here we go. She's since been released
from custody, but her passport has been seized and transferred
to immigration authorities for further questioning while the investigation continues.
So she's not necessarily in I guess a normal Indonesian jail.
(06:51):
Maybe she's in Maybe maybe she's in Indonesia's version of
Alligator Alcatraz. I don't know because it's an immigration thing. Uh,
but they got her passport and she's going nowhere.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
She has the money.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
She can get out of there without a passport, Oh, yeah,
for sure, and she would be wise.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, take it all Indonesia. You need you need a
new school, it's you're gonna get it. You need new
water systems in some remote places, She's gonna provide it.
Whatever you need. The leader of the country needs a
new yut yacht, she'll be on it.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, she'll She'll be able to buy a fake passport
or you know, some sort of fake documents to get
out of there, even if it's by ship. But she
needs to go now like this is not gonna she
thinks I'll beat this.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You won't know they'll beat you, Bonnie. Meanwhile, I like
to imagine like the British sas special forces, like their
version of Sealed Team six has got to be druly.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Like, please, please, King, let us go get her. This
would be the ultimate extraction, that would be one of
the greatest military helicopter rides.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh CCR playing in the background. These really are somefortunate sons.
But you're right. I've I have a sneaking suspicion that
it'll just take the right amount of money and she'll
end up buying her freedom and probably be wise to
(08:26):
not go back.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
That's the problem. I mean, she's not gonna get public support.
There's not going to be a ground swell of people
going free Bunny Blue.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
No, there was more ground swell for the kid that
spray painted a wall in Indonesia was going to get
flogged a hundred times by a stick than is going
to be there for her.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I think back then even Clinton intervened on that for
that kid and got the number of lashes down.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
But he's still not lash.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's like the ultimate big WILLI thing helped, aren't you glad?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I yeah, I mean that's all you can do. Because
I think it was like two hundred lashes or like.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That, and then I don't remember, but I do know
that it was. Yeah, it was a ridiculous, like the
punishment definitely did not fit the crime right. But speaking
of speaking of paying for it, A fort Worth steing
arrested twenty men in a human trafficking crackdown and the
(09:30):
story is serious.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
But.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The way the head of the operation speaks is interesting.
A two day undercover sting targeting men trying to buy
sex in North Texas resulted in twenty arrests at a
fort Worth hotel. This was in November and it highlights
the strong local demand for commercial sex. At first, I thought,
(09:57):
at first I thought that was Fox four's weird word
in the news story, but then as I read down
into the actual story, they were just paraphrasing the leader
of the operation, the commander who leads the county's human
trafficking team, says it's unimaginable how much there is out
there of human trafficking. He went on to say, it
(10:19):
shows how strong the demand for commercial sex is here
in North Texas. Look, he is a peace officer by trade.
I would hope that maybe he phrases it differently in
the future, because honestly, he's just making a case for,
you know, brothels in North Texas. Not that I'm opposed
to that, because I mean, if it helps the situation
(10:43):
and it is an actual place of consent everyone wants
to be there kind of a thing, then maybe that
is where we should be. But until then, maybe word
it slightly differently. Demand is huge. We're stacking him cheap
and hoarn him cheap.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
We can't get weed legalized, and you're talking about whoores.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Now you know what. This might be controversial to say,
but I have a feeling that we could get we
could get the women. I feel like you could get uh,
you know, prostitution legal before weed.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I agree, you're you're you're shaking your head like that tray.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
But do you all remember how long it took just
to get the lottery approved.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
There's a long time.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
That's different. You're talking about trying to get prostitution passed
by senators, like people in Congress and in state Congress.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
They'll they'll they'll bite, they'll.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Say no, no, no, but eventually go like, just just
attach some really good amendments to it. It'll sneak through.
It's like, look, this thing is bad, but look at
all the good stuff that's in there. Look, it's going
to fund schools.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Not good ones, but schools.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
But schools.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, the charter schools are going to be completely clean
and nice, but yeah, the public ones, yeah, completely hord out.
You don't look I think or at the point, especially
in Texas, I don't think any of it's going to
be legalized anytime soon. And that's the part that makes
me sad because I really thought, like you know, ten
twenty years ago, we would at least have freer weed
(12:29):
laws than we do now. But I really do when
you see stories like this as far as the human
trafficking more drug stuff, I start to go more towards
the side of maybe we should just start legalizing to
a certain extent just about everything and then at least
having the funds fund other things.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Right, we've already seen what happens when you try to
legalize hard drugs.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's been a I'm not saying let it be a
I'm not saying let it be a free for all.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But and yeah, I think we'll probably get past the
next legislative session in some.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
What's uh or was it Ken Paxton that made the
video where he's picking up everything all the Oh, look
at all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's making us sick?
Speaker 6 (13:18):
And Dan Patrick, Dan Patrick, what the hell's he going
to do?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
If that happens, He's gonna be beside himself. He'll have
a hissy fit.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, which he's gonna do anyways.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I mean, yeah, it doesn't matter. He's gonna be mad
no matter what.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Every two years you can count on Dan Patrick having
something he's going to grandstand about. You know, maybe that's
not now he can he can go to the worse.
You know, you go start picking him up, going putting.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And I helped.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse

Has anyone ever answered the door naked for you?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Daniel?
Speaker 7 (14:25):
Not naked, but we have had a couple of doors
answering that have been risque. I would say it's a
good term maybe like almost brawl and pandies kind of
deal one time, and they probably were shorts, but they
(14:46):
definitely weren't shorts.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Maybe I think one time a lady answered in a towel.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Okay, so I mean I guess that happens. One time
a guy answered and all he had on was a
pair and he did not have a very flattering fasique.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah he had what did he have on?
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Just like a pair of shorts like one of those
like shorty shorts like from the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh wow, okay yeah, and not flattering at all.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
So that was kind of like in a moment.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Like that, do you look around to see it? Am
I in the right place for the service call? And
did I interrupt a key party? No?
Speaker 7 (15:36):
It's kind of one of those things, man. And this
happened like three or four years ago. But honestly, it
was a really nice neighborhood and we had got called
out for the inspection, and obviously when he answered the door,
for instinct is look and then you look down at
the ground like like, oh, I'm here to do your
(15:57):
your property inspection, and he's and he's just so casualized.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm in expecting you.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Hey man, good see man, you know he wants to
shake your hand.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
I'm like Jesus man, you know, but.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
At least he's only wanting you to shake his hand.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Well, like y'all said earlier, for a billion dollars.

(17:24):
I believe it was yesterday, Trey, we were talking about
according to IMDb rankings. So according to IMDb list not listener,
IMDb people voting on what they think are their favorite
movies like the ranking the.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Was it IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes? I don't remember, it
was IMDb.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, So the best Christmas movies of all time? Ranked
by IMDb score. We talked about that a little bit yesterday, Uh,
Raj and Jerry, you guys weren't here, I'll recap it
briefly for you. So so, based on IMDb score, the
best Christmas movies of all time Love actually National Lampoon's
(18:07):
Christmas Vacation, The Bishop's Wife at number eight, White Christmas
at number seven, Home Alone, six Night Mayor Before Christmas
at five, A Christmas Story, four Miracle on thirty Fourth Street,
the nineteen forty seven version in third nineteen fifty one's
a Christmas Carol, which Trey and I've never even seen.
I don't even know who's in that, because that's before
the Georgey's Scott one that we are aware of. And
(18:29):
then number one, No Shocker, It's a Wonderful Life, with
an eight point six IMDb score coming out of nineteen
forty six as the best Christmas movie of all time,
ranked by IMDb score. Real quick, before I needle tray
a little bit more on this, Jerry, what is your
favorite Christmas movie of all time? Raj, We'll go to you. Well,
(18:54):
Jerry thinks for me, uh, is it a Hollywood Christmas Story?
I'd love to see that version.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yes, but in that one, everybody knows how to spell
pronounce words. I think I would go with die Hard
die Hard.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay. If, by the way, if you wanted to include
die Hard as a Christmas movie on this list, it
would actually come in second, right behind It's a Wonderful Life.
It's a Wonderful Life is eight point six. Die Hard's
IMDb scores eight point two. The Christmas Carol from nineteen
fifty one was an eight point one. Okay, so if
(19:35):
you include die Hard as a Christmas movie, it comes
in second behind It's a Wonderful Life. Jerry, what is
your favorite Christmas movie? Well?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Mine is die Hard also, but since that one's already
been chosen, my next favorite is Iron Man three.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Oh you aren't going.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You are playing fast and loose with the Christmas movie
situation there.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
By the way, background where we were decorating the tree.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Nice. I mean, look, I'm pretty liberal when it comes
to what's a Christmas movie versus what's not? So much
so that not only do I believe that Diehard is
a Christmas movie, but I also believe so is Lethal Weapon.
And I finally crossed over that threshold this year I was.
I thought about it. The more I thought about it,
(20:26):
the more I realized Christmas plays an integral part in
the story and the character development of Lethal Weapon one.
But Jerry, I cannot jump on board with Ironman three
being a Christmas movie.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I just can't.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And again I'm liberal when it comes to what's a
Christmas movie.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I barely want to call that a Marvel movie.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I like three better than two. Oh yeah, But I
will say Marvel's done a hell of a job trying
to change things around that happened in iron Man three, Like,
for example, it was Ben Kingsley playing the Mandarin in
iron Man three, and then by the end of her
like no, no, no, he's just an actor and his name's Trevor,
(21:12):
and he was so good in that they put Trevor
ben Kingsley in chang Chi, which is actually really really funny.
And then the real Mandarin was in shang Chi because
everyone's like, okay, so you kind of appropriated the whole
shang Chi thing, and all the comic book nerds like,
we didn't get a real Mandarin like we deserved, so
(21:32):
they tried to correct it in shang Chi and I've
gone too far down the wormhole anyway.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Ben Kingsley is going to be an integral part of
the new wonder Man series.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Two good. Trey's like, what's that? Honestly, Trey, I don't
really know either. I'm aware of it because it's a
Marvel project, but I don't really know much.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Is it wonder Man not like a wonder Woman spit off?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I mean he's entirely different as far as like origin
and power set and all that.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
The thing about him is that he's the closest thing
to the boys, uh, as as Marvel kind of gets
because he's an actor that plays superheroes in movies who
is also actually a superhero.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Okay, yeah, the whole thing is different.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
But the outfit same.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Got the got the boosti A and theots still.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Still has the tol.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
He's not He's not wonder Man. He's wonder Man. He's
just casually walking around West Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Jazz fingers really sell it.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Jazz fingers of truth.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I'll diddle the truth out of you. You'll have some
bad guys lining up to be tortured and others like
I'll tell anything you want to know. Just get that
hand away from me. That could be an interesting series.
Now I'm fascinated.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
So another movie that I have rediscovered as a Christmas
movie that nobody talks about, by the way, is die
Hard Too.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Also, it happened in the scheme of things. I can
the story of that Diehard universe. It was one year
or two years later, but yeah, later Christmas. It's Christmas again,
but this time at Washington Dulles International Airport, co starring
future Senator Fred Thompson. So I'm with you. And by
(23:40):
the way, die Hard Too also happens to have one
of my favorite lines in a movie that is very
underappreciated across the spectrum of outstanding movie lines because it
also co starred Dennis France as the police chief of
the airport police. And then in one someone says something
(24:02):
and then Dennis Francis response is I'm stunned. I gotta
lie down, and it's delivered just like that, and his
act is perfect anyway. So the reason why I actually
wanted to bring this back up was because I wanted
to check in with Trey, because Trey does not like
some of the traditional Christmas movies, and Raj, you're in
that group with him. As far as your your joint
(24:25):
hatred for a Christmas story. Trey is also very anti
Elf because he can't stand Will Ferrell and I get it.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, I love Will Ferrell and a lot of projects.
That one he's just he's like Steve Carell. To me,
there's you cross a point, there's too much and he
is over the top in ELF, and I like old
school any like step Brothers, Talladega Knights great, especially when
he has someone to play off of, okay, but when
(24:55):
when he is basically the sole lead now got it?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Okay? I stand corrected thinking for that, which, by the way,
have you seen the other guys yet where he's opposite
of Mark Wahlberg, I have not. That one might be
worth it for you because he's not over the top
Wolf Ferrel. And it really has a great scene with
rog you know what I'm talking about. It's Wilf Ferrel,
Mark Wahlberg and even Mendeza that got That movie is
(25:20):
so good just for that, if nothing else, Trey, so
your favorite Christmas movies Scrooged and The Ref sort of
an anti Christmas movie, sort of like there's an anti
hero but you have a new lady this Christmas so
I'm wondering where does she fall on the Christmas movie spectrum.
Is she anti the same Christmas movies you are, or
(25:41):
does she love some of them? Is there going to
be some Christmas strife in the Trindholme House.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
No, we both really just aren't big Christmas fans, so
it's just not a big issue. I actually we watched
the Ref. She had never seen it. We watched the
Ref the other night, so she really enjoyed that. Uh So,
I have a feeling we're gonna be, you know, somewhat
sympatico on this one.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
This is awesome. It's a great feeling to be on
the same level with someone when it comes to certain things.
Movies is a big one. But part of the reason
I wanted to open this can of worms a little
bit on you, Tray, wasn't just because Christmas movies. That's
just you know, what gets me in the door. My
ultimate question is, hang, I had it written down because
I didn't want to screw this up. I put it. Yeah,
(26:28):
hang on, see I lost it, but it's in my
heads here somewhere in a in a Oh wait, wait,
hang on, No, I still a lot of.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
The reason they invented posted notes.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
You should see everything, you should see everything around my
screen and I wrote it down, but now I can't
find it. In a relationship, is it more important to
love the same things or hate the same things?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Hate the same things? I knew it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I knew that's what you would say, Raj, what about it?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I think that's an individual thing. Like I'm not going
to make you like or dislike anything that I like
or dislike.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well, I'm not saying comes down to I'm just saying
that if if a relationship is going to work, what
do you think is more important that you love the
same things or you hate the same things?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
And I would go with like the same things, if
you enjoy doing the same things, or watching the same things,
or eating the same foods, I think that helps any.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But I think it's healthy to have two different kind
of a set of interest.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I mean, like she was saying, you have to love
and hate all the same things. I'm just saying which
one is more important?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, but I think it's a lot harder if you
hate something she loves versus you know, you can love
two different things and are two you know, theres have
different areas of interest and it's cool. It's like, all right,
you do you, I'll do me, and then we'll meet
back in the middle when we're done.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
But you know, if like, hell, here's a good one.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
If I have had problems in the past and relationships,
if that other person is a really big it's really
really big into Christmas because I'm just not there and
I'm never going to be there. It was never I
have no fond memories of Christmas. It's always just a
miserable time of my life. So I'm never going to
be there. So having someone who is equally indifferent about
(28:32):
it is quite helpful.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I love that answer. I mean, it took us a
while to get there. But when I asked in a relationship,
is it more important to love the same things or
hate the same things? And your response, in essence is
it's important to be equally indifferent. Why beautiful that needs
to be on a T shirt? It really does. We
are equally indifferent, and it's it's oh, you two are
(28:56):
like just walking into Golden hour sunset, but you don't
care ye.

so I will pose it to you now. In a relationship.
(30:33):
Is it more important to love the same things or
hate the same things?
Speaker 6 (30:37):
This is a fascinating question, and I find myself agreeing
totally with Trey. I think it is far more important
to hate the same things because it's timed.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I really thought you were going to be, you know,
the the positive Polly on this one, like, oh, we
have to love you w the thing stuff.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah, I mean that's that's a nice thought. But I
really think along with what Trey said, you know, if
the two if you absolutely despise something that the other
person and they're constantly being exposed to it, that could
be greating. But if the two of you love two
different things, then that's just going to broaden both of you.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
M you know.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
So, so where that ven diagram intersects, you just got
to make sure that it's in the right area, right,
got it? And honestly, a great great I'm sorry, Drake,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, no, I'll give you a great example of where.
You know they're going to re release Lord of the
Lord of the Rings trilogy next month.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
In theaters.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Oh, I know I'll be going to watch those alone.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Number one, I'm excited for you. Number two, I feel
a little Sorry for you. And number three, when you
go to the theater to watch those, are you going
to cosplay as.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Gollum column No, Gandalf.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Gray Tray The gray has a better sound to it
than than the Tray and his gray undies.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I think the white really, but it's.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Tray the translucent, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And it's the other beautiful thing about that is I
know I won't be the only single guy there himself.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
That's true.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
You could form your own little fellowship right there in
the theater with a bunch of other guys whose women
didn't want to go with them, just like the actual
Fellowship of the Ring that only had one woman.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
And that's you know, later on in the year, when
they re release uh uh yeah, end Game, Marvel the Avengers,
Endgame again, I know I'll go see that alone.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I love that you brought that up because when you
brought up the Lord of the Ring things that reminded
me because I didn't know they were re releasing in
game until I think yesterday I saw a thing on
social media.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
They just came out with it like last week.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Okay, so I mean it's new information. So I think
it's September of twenty twenty six, they're going to re
release Avengers in game and what they might as well
call it for what it is, cash grab and status,
because they're going to want to re release it to
try to overtake Avatar as the highest grossing film of
all time.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Well, well it's also leading up to Avengers, which so
but yeah, they're brilliant in this. They're going to put
a new end scene in the scene on an in
game to lead into doomsday.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
Got that post credit?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah, so they had those easter eggs at the end.
They're putting a new one on there. So yeah, it's
it's brilliant on their end. They're going to redo thirty
seconds and make another two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah my birthday. Yeah, someone in office, Yeah, someone in
office did have an absolutely brilliant idea. And that is
why waste a brand new credit scene or a post
credit scene or some deleted thing. Why waste that on
some sort of special purchase of the film itself when
(34:29):
we can re release the entire film and stick this
thirty second blurp at the end of it and like
and like you said, Trey make another quarter of a
billion dollars. That's yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
And by the way, Trey, uh, I'll be there with you.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
That'll be the third.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
But yeah, when I saw that that was coming back
into theaters, I was like, I'll go back to that.
And now that it gives me a target and I'm
going to be this guy. And I'm a feeling Jerry,
You're gonna do it as well. I've been thinking about
starting it all over again from the beginning for funzies.
Now that I can actually do it again with the culmination,
I'm getting chillises thinking about it, the culmination of once
(35:18):
again being in the theater when the Avengers a symbol
an in game. My nipples are so hard. Yes, So
now I know what I'll be doing in twenty twenty six.
I'll be rewatching the entirety of the MCU up to
in game.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Thank you, mar nipples are so hard. That is how
wonder Man starts, right.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
I really hope it does. Actually, Oh, I need now
or some battery cables and.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Uh oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
It's autorotic aphyxiation with the lasso of truth.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I'm part of the not so ambiguously gay duo team
up all right, One last thing inside the treehouse today,
before we cut you loose and what maybe and I
say this a lot, but you know, people and newsmakers
keep doing things to one up themselves, and that is this.
(36:20):
This might be my favorite headline of the year. And
we're getting near the end of the year, so there's
only so much time left for these headlines to eclipse
one another. This one truly is fantastic. Twenty twenty six
World Cup Pride Match will feature Egypt and Iran.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
And if that were just the headline and it was
this leading, it'd be one thing.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
But no, that is exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup Pride Match, where they
celebrate and feature LGBTQ plus members and soccer fans around
the world, will feature the very open, armed, embracing nations
of homosexuality, Egypt and Iran. God for the love of God.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Wait, nobody comes running out of the tunnel.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
I just I mean it's.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
And this is so FIFA just to completely screw something
up so badly. It's like, you know you're gonna have
a Pride match, wait till the draw and then find,
you know, an opening match that is suitable, you know,
or at least doesn't feature two countries that outlaw homosexuality.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
M H, place your bets, everyone, place your bets.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah, I think a better country to find asylum in
that too.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I mean it just makes better sense. You're right, Tray,
because the draw is going to happen. Wait to assign
the Pride match until there's a more favorable pairing, like
something that at halftime, you could feature an actual scissoring
at midfield. But it's it's it's not any sort of
punishment show.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
I'm sorry. This is the Men's World Cup. The Ladies
World Cup is next year.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Well, in that case, there's an opportunity here for the ladies.
The men can have the Pride Match, but I'm gonna
hold out for the Scissor match.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
The Rainbows will be a shooting everywhere. They'll even have
a Hall of Fame game for that one.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
They're all coming out for that one. For all things Treehouse,

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Bud, as good as I can be, especially.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
If you get that microphone turned on. It's a big
step in the right direction. Glad to see you upright. So,
speaking of individuals that are upright or actually not normally
upright in what sounds like it should be the title
of a new video of hers on OnlyFans, Bonnie Blue
Goes to Jail. Oh, Bonnie Blue, the online OnlyFans porn star,
(01:20):
faces up to fifteen years in jail in Indonesia after
being detained over a bang bus stunt in Bali. Wow,
what happens in Bali can get your ass landed in jail.
I'd like to point out here, while I'm trying not
to be judging about it, sex work is a sometimes
(01:42):
noble profession. It is known as the oldest profession. I'm
not really typically one to slam on anyone for how
they get their bag. But I would like to point
out that if you're going to get that bag in
a foreign nation doing some very tawdry things, it might
be a good idea to check the local laws before
you do them, especially in a place that is at
least partially run by Sharia law.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yeah, it still believes in canings.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yes, we're talking about the country back in like the
early mid two thousands started international furor because it had
sentenced a teenager to a public caning for I think
drug possession or something. I don't even remember what it was,
but it was something extremely innocuous and he was going
to have to endure like one hundred lashes from a
(02:29):
cane type of thing. Right, So I was like, Okay,
this sounds familiar, Like I feel like Indonesia's the place
these types of things happened. So I googled it and
I couldn't even find the original story because it is
littered with a layer of bodies that have come between
the story I was looking for and this one, including
one back in twenty nineteen or a teenager in one
particular province in Indonesia was caned for cuddling cuddling, and
(02:59):
this is the area where she thought it'd be a
good idea to do a bang bus thing with a
bunch of tourists. Seriously, do a Google search before you
go on sex tour. It might save your life. That's
my professional original advice.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
The original kid I think was got busted like graffeeding
a wall.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I think it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I think it was a minor vandalism. Yeah, you're right.
I think that's.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Drug possession in Indonesia is a zero tolerance, so it's
death penalty immediately.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The if prosecuted and found guilty under the law. Bonnie Blue,
who gained fame for having sex with one thy fifty
seven men in twelve hours in a documentary about her career, face,
is up to fifteen years in prison in Indonesia and
finds up to six billion rupeya approximately five hundred and
forty one thousand dollars, which are the maximum penalties. I
(03:56):
like how the headline on Newsweek they show a lot
of deference towards her. Bonnie Blue could face fifteen years
in Bali jail after alleged peign offenses. I think she's
probably guilty of the porn part of it whether or
not you know, legally in indonesia's the question. The UK
national he real named Tia Billinger is twenty six, could
(04:18):
face fifteen years a fine and this one says three
hundred and sixty thousand dollars if convicted. Maybe this is
the adjusted for you know, currency exchange. According to local media,
she was detained after taking part in what police described
as a ranchy game with British and Australian tourists aged
between nineteen and forty. A spokesperson for the police force
(04:41):
told Indonesian news outlets when they were rated, they were
making collab content about a game where the winner would
sleep with Bonnie Blue. No pornographic activities or acts have
been found in the collaborative content. A newsweek reached out
to Bonnie's publicist and the Indonesian Foreign Office for a
comment and so far reverently received that. But you know,
(05:06):
it's going to be an interesting international incident that Bonnie
Blue has opened her legs and cost.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, she's gonna be able to sleep with the fifteen
Indonesian women every day. That's so good for her. You
want to set a record there it is.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, I've really I cannot stress this enough. I get it. Like,
if you want to be controversial, but you we've seen
this so many times with media stunts and things. If
you're going to be controversial, be at least semi aware
of your surroundings when you do it, Like, is the
(05:47):
controversial thing you're doing going to kill you in a
particular country. Like it's one thing like the old Opian
Anthony's stunt with Sam Adams where they're doing the sex
scavenger hunt around New York and they got in major
trouble for a couple doing to bobo dance inside Saint
Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. At least I was America.
(06:11):
Do that in another country and everyone's gonna die. And
that's what Bonnie Blue is now facing. I mean she's
not facing death, but you know, serious imprisonment in a
country where I'm sure she wouldn't want to be in
the normal parts of Is she still in custody She's
still detained.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
She was arrested during a raid at a rented villa
studio in Bali. According to a UK news outlet, she's
since been Oh here we go. She's since been released
from custody, but her passport has been seized and transferred
to immigration authorities for further questioning while the investigation continues.
So she's not necessarily in I guess a normal Indonesian jail.
(06:51):
Maybe she's in Maybe maybe she's in Indonesia's version of
Alligator Alcatraz. I don't know because it's an immigration thing. Uh,
but they got her passport and she's going nowhere.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
She has the money.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
She can get out of there without a passport, Oh, yeah,
for sure, and she would be wise.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, take it all Indonesia. You need you need a
new school, it's you're gonna get it. You need new
water systems in some remote places, She's gonna provide it.
Whatever you need. The leader of the country needs a
new yut yacht, she'll be on it.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, she'll She'll be able to buy a fake passport
or you know, some sort of fake documents to get
out of there, even if it's by ship. But she
needs to go now like this is not gonna she
thinks I'll beat this.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You won't know they'll beat you, Bonnie. Meanwhile, I like
to imagine like the British sas special forces, like their
version of Sealed Team six has got to be druly.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Like, please, please, King, let us go get her. This
would be the ultimate extraction, that would be one of
the greatest military helicopter rides.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh CCR playing in the background. These really are somefortunate sons.
But you're right. I've I have a sneaking suspicion that
it'll just take the right amount of money and she'll
end up buying her freedom and probably be wise to
(08:26):
not go back.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
That's the problem. I mean, she's not gonna get public support.
There's not going to be a ground swell of people
going free Bunny Blue.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
No, there was more ground swell for the kid that
spray painted a wall in Indonesia was going to get
flogged a hundred times by a stick than is going
to be there for her.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I think back then even Clinton intervened on that for
that kid and got the number of lashes down.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
But he's still not lash.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's like the ultimate big WILLI thing helped, aren't you glad?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I yeah, I mean that's all you can do. Because
I think it was like two hundred lashes or like.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That, and then I don't remember, but I do know
that it was. Yeah, it was a ridiculous, like the
punishment definitely did not fit the crime right. But speaking
of speaking of paying for it, A fort Worth steing
arrested twenty men in a human trafficking crackdown and the
(09:30):
story is serious.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
But.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The way the head of the operation speaks is interesting.
A two day undercover sting targeting men trying to buy
sex in North Texas resulted in twenty arrests at a
fort Worth hotel. This was in November and it highlights
the strong local demand for commercial sex. At first, I thought,
(09:57):
at first I thought that was Fox four's weird word
in the news story, but then as I read down
into the actual story, they were just paraphrasing the leader
of the operation, the commander who leads the county's human
trafficking team, says it's unimaginable how much there is out
there of human trafficking. He went on to say, it
(10:19):
shows how strong the demand for commercial sex is here
in North Texas. Look, he is a peace officer by trade.
I would hope that maybe he phrases it differently in
the future, because honestly, he's just making a case for,
you know, brothels in North Texas. Not that I'm opposed
to that, because I mean, if it helps the situation
(10:43):
and it is an actual place of consent everyone wants
to be there kind of a thing, then maybe that
is where we should be. But until then, maybe word
it slightly differently. Demand is huge. We're stacking him cheap
and hoarn him cheap.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
We can't get weed legalized, and you're talking about whoores.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Now you know what. This might be controversial to say,
but I have a feeling that we could get we
could get the women. I feel like you could get uh,
you know, prostitution legal before weed.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I agree, you're you're you're shaking your head like that tray.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
But do you all remember how long it took just
to get the lottery approved.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
There's a long time.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
That's different. You're talking about trying to get prostitution passed
by senators, like people in Congress and in state Congress.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
They'll they'll they'll bite, they'll.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Say no, no, no, but eventually go like, just just
attach some really good amendments to it. It'll sneak through.
It's like, look, this thing is bad, but look at
all the good stuff that's in there. Look, it's going
to fund schools.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Not good ones, but schools.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
But schools.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, the charter schools are going to be completely clean
and nice, but yeah, the public ones, yeah, completely hord out.
You don't look I think or at the point, especially
in Texas, I don't think any of it's going to
be legalized anytime soon. And that's the part that makes
me sad because I really thought, like you know, ten
twenty years ago, we would at least have freer weed
(12:29):
laws than we do now. But I really do when
you see stories like this as far as the human
trafficking more drug stuff, I start to go more towards
the side of maybe we should just start legalizing to
a certain extent just about everything and then at least
having the funds fund other things.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Right, we've already seen what happens when you try to
legalize hard drugs.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's been a I'm not saying let it be a
I'm not saying let it be a free for all.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But and yeah, I think we'll probably get past the
next legislative session in some.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
What's uh or was it Ken Paxton that made the
video where he's picking up everything all the Oh, look
at all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's making us sick?
Speaker 6 (13:18):
And Dan Patrick, Dan Patrick, what the hell's he going
to do?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
If that happens, He's gonna be beside himself. He'll have
a hissy fit.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, which he's gonna do anyways.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I mean, yeah, it doesn't matter. He's gonna be mad
no matter what.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Every two years you can count on Dan Patrick having
something he's going to grandstand about. You know, maybe that's
not now he can he can go to the worse.
You know, you go start picking him up, going putting.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And I helped.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse
on air dot com.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration into
the Treehouse for your free roof inspection and free property review.
Eight three three COOKDFW. Use that number to get that
scheduled eight three three COOKDFW. The website is cookdfw dot com.
Has anyone ever answered the door naked for you?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Daniel?
Speaker 7 (14:25):
Not naked, but we have had a couple of doors
answering that have been risque. I would say it's a
good term maybe like almost brawl and pandies kind of
deal one time, and they probably were shorts, but they
(14:46):
definitely weren't shorts.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Maybe I think one time a lady answered in a towel.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Okay, so I mean I guess that happens. One time
a guy answered and all he had on was a
pair and he did not have a very flattering fasique.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah he had what did he have on?
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Just like a pair of shorts like one of those
like shorty shorts like from the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh wow, okay yeah, and not flattering at all.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
So that was kind of like in a moment.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Like that, do you look around to see it? Am
I in the right place for the service call? And
did I interrupt a key party? No?
Speaker 7 (15:36):
It's kind of one of those things, man. And this
happened like three or four years ago. But honestly, it
was a really nice neighborhood and we had got called
out for the inspection, and obviously when he answered the door,
for instinct is look and then you look down at
the ground like like, oh, I'm here to do your
(15:57):
your property inspection, and he's and he's just so casualized.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm in expecting you.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Hey man, good see man, you know he wants to
shake your hand.

(17:24):
I believe it was yesterday, Trey, we were talking about
according to IMDb rankings. So according to IMDb list not listener,
IMDb people voting on what they think are their favorite
movies like the ranking the.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Was it IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes? I don't remember, it
was IMDb.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, So the best Christmas movies of all time? Ranked
by IMDb score. We talked about that a little bit yesterday, Uh,
Raj and Jerry, you guys weren't here, I'll recap it
briefly for you. So so, based on IMDb score, the
best Christmas movies of all time Love actually National Lampoon's
(18:07):
Christmas Vacation, The Bishop's Wife at number eight, White Christmas
at number seven, Home Alone, six Night Mayor Before Christmas
at five, A Christmas Story, four Miracle on thirty Fourth Street,
the nineteen forty seven version in third nineteen fifty one's
a Christmas Carol, which Trey and I've never even seen.
I don't even know who's in that, because that's before
the Georgey's Scott one that we are aware of. And
(18:29):
then number one, No Shocker, It's a Wonderful Life, with
an eight point six IMDb score coming out of nineteen
forty six as the best Christmas movie of all time,
ranked by IMDb score. Real quick, before I needle tray
a little bit more on this, Jerry, what is your
favorite Christmas movie of all time? Raj, We'll go to you. Well,
(18:54):
Jerry thinks for me, uh, is it a Hollywood Christmas Story?
I'd love to see that version.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yes, but in that one, everybody knows how to spell
pronounce words. I think I would go with die Hard
die Hard.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay. If, by the way, if you wanted to include
die Hard as a Christmas movie on this list, it
would actually come in second, right behind It's a Wonderful Life.
It's a Wonderful Life is eight point six. Die Hard's
IMDb scores eight point two. The Christmas Carol from nineteen
fifty one was an eight point one. Okay, so if
(19:35):
you include die Hard as a Christmas movie, it comes
in second behind It's a Wonderful Life. Jerry, what is
your favorite Christmas movie? Well?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Mine is die Hard also, but since that one's already
been chosen, my next favorite is Iron Man three.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Oh you aren't going.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You are playing fast and loose with the Christmas movie
situation there.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
By the way, background where we were decorating the tree.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Nice. I mean, look, I'm pretty liberal when it comes
to what's a Christmas movie versus what's not? So much
so that not only do I believe that Diehard is
a Christmas movie, but I also believe so is Lethal Weapon.
And I finally crossed over that threshold this year I was.
I thought about it. The more I thought about it,
(20:26):
the more I realized Christmas plays an integral part in
the story and the character development of Lethal Weapon one.
But Jerry, I cannot jump on board with Ironman three
being a Christmas movie.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I just can't.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And again I'm liberal when it comes to what's a
Christmas movie.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I barely want to call that a Marvel movie.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I like three better than two. Oh yeah, But I
will say Marvel's done a hell of a job trying
to change things around that happened in iron Man three, Like,
for example, it was Ben Kingsley playing the Mandarin in
iron Man three, and then by the end of her
like no, no, no, he's just an actor and his name's Trevor,
(21:12):
and he was so good in that they put Trevor
ben Kingsley in chang Chi, which is actually really really funny.
And then the real Mandarin was in shang Chi because
everyone's like, okay, so you kind of appropriated the whole
shang Chi thing, and all the comic book nerds like,
we didn't get a real Mandarin like we deserved, so
(21:32):
they tried to correct it in shang Chi and I've
gone too far down the wormhole anyway.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Ben Kingsley is going to be an integral part of
the new wonder Man series.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Two good. Trey's like, what's that? Honestly, Trey, I don't
really know either. I'm aware of it because it's a
Marvel project, but I don't really know much.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Is it wonder Man not like a wonder Woman spit off?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I mean he's entirely different as far as like origin
and power set and all that.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
The thing about him is that he's the closest thing
to the boys, uh, as as Marvel kind of gets
because he's an actor that plays superheroes in movies who
is also actually a superhero.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Okay, yeah, the whole thing is different.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
But the outfit same.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Got the got the boosti A and theots still.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Still has the tol.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
He's not He's not wonder Man. He's wonder Man. He's
just casually walking around West Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Jazz fingers really sell it.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Jazz fingers of truth.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I'll diddle the truth out of you. You'll have some
bad guys lining up to be tortured and others like
I'll tell anything you want to know. Just get that
hand away from me. That could be an interesting series.
Now I'm fascinated.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
So another movie that I have rediscovered as a Christmas
movie that nobody talks about, by the way, is die
Hard Too.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Also, it happened in the scheme of things. I can
the story of that Diehard universe. It was one year
or two years later, but yeah, later Christmas. It's Christmas again,
but this time at Washington Dulles International Airport, co starring
future Senator Fred Thompson. So I'm with you. And by
(23:40):
the way, die Hard Too also happens to have one
of my favorite lines in a movie that is very
underappreciated across the spectrum of outstanding movie lines because it
also co starred Dennis France as the police chief of
the airport police. And then in one someone says something
(24:02):
and then Dennis Francis response is I'm stunned. I gotta
lie down, and it's delivered just like that, and his
act is perfect anyway. So the reason why I actually
wanted to bring this back up was because I wanted
to check in with Trey, because Trey does not like
some of the traditional Christmas movies, and Raj, you're in
that group with him. As far as your your joint
(24:25):
hatred for a Christmas story. Trey is also very anti
Elf because he can't stand Will Ferrell and I get it.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, I love Will Ferrell and a lot of projects.
That one he's just he's like Steve Carell. To me,
there's you cross a point, there's too much and he
is over the top in ELF, and I like old
school any like step Brothers, Talladega Knights great, especially when
he has someone to play off of, okay, but when
(24:55):
when he is basically the sole lead now got it?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Okay? I stand corrected thinking for that, which, by the way,
have you seen the other guys yet where he's opposite
of Mark Wahlberg, I have not. That one might be
worth it for you because he's not over the top
Wolf Ferrel. And it really has a great scene with
rog you know what I'm talking about. It's Wilf Ferrel,
Mark Wahlberg and even Mendeza that got That movie is
(25:20):
so good just for that, if nothing else, Trey, so
your favorite Christmas movies Scrooged and The Ref sort of
an anti Christmas movie, sort of like there's an anti
hero but you have a new lady this Christmas so
I'm wondering where does she fall on the Christmas movie spectrum.
Is she anti the same Christmas movies you are, or
(25:41):
does she love some of them? Is there going to
be some Christmas strife in the Trindholme House.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
No, we both really just aren't big Christmas fans, so
it's just not a big issue. I actually we watched
the Ref. She had never seen it. We watched the
Ref the other night, so she really enjoyed that. Uh So,
I have a feeling we're gonna be, you know, somewhat
sympatico on this one.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
This is awesome. It's a great feeling to be on
the same level with someone when it comes to certain things.
Movies is a big one. But part of the reason
I wanted to open this can of worms a little
bit on you, Tray, wasn't just because Christmas movies. That's
just you know, what gets me in the door. My
ultimate question is, hang, I had it written down because
I didn't want to screw this up. I put it. Yeah,
(26:28):
hang on, see I lost it, but it's in my
heads here somewhere in a in a Oh wait, wait,
hang on, No, I still a lot of.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
The reason they invented posted notes.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
You should see everything, you should see everything around my
screen and I wrote it down, but now I can't
find it. In a relationship, is it more important to
love the same things or hate the same things?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Hate the same things? I knew it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I knew that's what you would say, Raj, what about it?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I think that's an individual thing. Like I'm not going
to make you like or dislike anything that I like
or dislike.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well, I'm not saying comes down to I'm just saying
that if if a relationship is going to work, what
do you think is more important that you love the
same things or you hate the same things?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
And I would go with like the same things, if
you enjoy doing the same things, or watching the same things,
or eating the same foods, I think that helps any.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But I think it's healthy to have two different kind
of a set of interest.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I mean, like she was saying, you have to love
and hate all the same things. I'm just saying which
one is more important?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, but I think it's a lot harder if you
hate something she loves versus you know, you can love
two different things and are two you know, theres have
different areas of interest and it's cool. It's like, all right,
you do you, I'll do me, and then we'll meet
back in the middle when we're done.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
But you know, if like, hell, here's a good one.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
If I have had problems in the past and relationships,
if that other person is a really big it's really
really big into Christmas because I'm just not there and
I'm never going to be there. It was never I
have no fond memories of Christmas. It's always just a
miserable time of my life. So I'm never going to
be there. So having someone who is equally indifferent about
(28:32):
it is quite helpful.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I love that answer. I mean, it took us a
while to get there. But when I asked in a relationship,
is it more important to love the same things or
hate the same things? And your response, in essence is
it's important to be equally indifferent. Why beautiful that needs
to be on a T shirt? It really does. We
are equally indifferent, and it's it's oh, you two are
(28:56):
like just walking into Golden hour sunset, but you don't
care ye.

so I will pose it to you now. In a relationship.
(30:33):
Is it more important to love the same things or
hate the same things?
Speaker 6 (30:37):
This is a fascinating question, and I find myself agreeing
totally with Trey. I think it is far more important
to hate the same things because it's timed.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I really thought you were going to be, you know,
the the positive Polly on this one, like, oh, we
have to love you w the thing stuff.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah, I mean that's that's a nice thought. But I
really think along with what Trey said, you know, if
the two if you absolutely despise something that the other
person and they're constantly being exposed to it, that could
be greating. But if the two of you love two
different things, then that's just going to broaden both of you.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
M you know.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
So, so where that ven diagram intersects, you just got
to make sure that it's in the right area, right,
got it? And honestly, a great great I'm sorry, Drake,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, no, I'll give you a great example of where.
You know they're going to re release Lord of the
Lord of the Rings trilogy next month.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
In theaters.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Oh, I know I'll be going to watch those alone.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Number one, I'm excited for you. Number two, I feel
a little Sorry for you. And number three, when you
go to the theater to watch those, are you going
to cosplay as.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Gollum column No, Gandalf.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Gray Tray The gray has a better sound to it
than than the Tray and his gray undies.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I think the white really, but it's.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Tray the translucent, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And it's the other beautiful thing about that is I
know I won't be the only single guy there himself.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
That's true.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
You could form your own little fellowship right there in
the theater with a bunch of other guys whose women
didn't want to go with them, just like the actual
Fellowship of the Ring that only had one woman.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
And that's you know, later on in the year, when
they re release uh uh yeah, end Game, Marvel the Avengers,
Endgame again, I know I'll go see that alone.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I love that you brought that up because when you
brought up the Lord of the Ring things that reminded
me because I didn't know they were re releasing in
game until I think yesterday I saw a thing on
social media.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
They just came out with it like last week.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Okay, so I mean it's new information. So I think
it's September of twenty twenty six, they're going to re
release Avengers in game and what they might as well
call it for what it is, cash grab and status,
because they're going to want to re release it to
try to overtake Avatar as the highest grossing film of
all time.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Well, well it's also leading up to Avengers, which so
but yeah, they're brilliant in this. They're going to put
a new end scene in the scene on an in
game to lead into doomsday.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
Got that post credit?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah, so they had those easter eggs at the end.
They're putting a new one on there. So yeah, it's
it's brilliant on their end. They're going to redo thirty
seconds and make another two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah my birthday. Yeah, someone in office, Yeah, someone in
office did have an absolutely brilliant idea. And that is
why waste a brand new credit scene or a post
credit scene or some deleted thing. Why waste that on
some sort of special purchase of the film itself when
(34:29):
we can re release the entire film and stick this
thirty second blurp at the end of it and like
and like you said, Trey make another quarter of a
billion dollars. That's yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
And by the way, Trey, uh, I'll be there with you.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
That'll be the third.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
But yeah, when I saw that that was coming back
into theaters, I was like, I'll go back to that.
And now that it gives me a target and I'm
going to be this guy. And I'm a feeling Jerry,
You're gonna do it as well. I've been thinking about
starting it all over again from the beginning for funzies.
Now that I can actually do it again with the culmination,
I'm getting chillises thinking about it, the culmination of once
(35:18):
again being in the theater when the Avengers a symbol
an in game. My nipples are so hard. Yes, So
now I know what I'll be doing in twenty twenty six.
I'll be rewatching the entirety of the MCU up to
in game.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Thank you, mar nipples are so hard. That is how
wonder Man starts, right.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
I really hope it does. Actually, Oh, I need now
or some battery cables and.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Uh oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
It's autorotic aphyxiation with the lasso of truth.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I'm part of the not so ambiguously gay duo team
up all right, One last thing inside the treehouse today,
before we cut you loose and what maybe and I
say this a lot, but you know, people and newsmakers
keep doing things to one up themselves, and that is this.
(36:20):
This might be my favorite headline of the year. And
we're getting near the end of the year, so there's
only so much time left for these headlines to eclipse
one another. This one truly is fantastic. Twenty twenty six
World Cup Pride Match will feature Egypt and Iran.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
And if that were just the headline and it was
this leading, it'd be one thing.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
But no, that is exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup Pride Match, where they
celebrate and feature LGBTQ plus members and soccer fans around
the world, will feature the very open, armed, embracing nations
of homosexuality, Egypt and Iran. God for the love of God.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Wait, nobody comes running out of the tunnel.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
I just I mean it's.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
And this is so FIFA just to completely screw something
up so badly. It's like, you know you're gonna have
a Pride match, wait till the draw and then find,
you know, an opening match that is suitable, you know,
or at least doesn't feature two countries that outlaw homosexuality.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
M H, place your bets, everyone, place your bets.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah, I think a better country to find asylum in
that too.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I mean it just makes better sense. You're right, Tray,
because the draw is going to happen. Wait to assign
the Pride match until there's a more favorable pairing, like
something that at halftime, you could feature an actual scissoring
at midfield. But it's it's it's not any sort of
punishment show.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
I'm sorry. This is the Men's World Cup. The Ladies
World Cup is next year.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Well, in that case, there's an opportunity here for the ladies.
The men can have the Pride Match, but I'm gonna
hold out for the Scissor match.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
The Rainbows will be a shooting everywhere. They'll even have
a Hall of Fame game for that one.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
They're all coming out for that one. For all things Treehouse,

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
