Speaker 1 (00:18):
It is time I believe your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley along
with Trade Trenholm and Sharma, and we definitely need some
laughs today because the three of us are Cowboys fans.
(00:40):
In a shocking move, the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons
and even though we just started it, we've never needed
Trey's Cowboys Anonymous more.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Oh, such a great video. I bought that thing so hard.
In the very beginning. I thought you were about depression
or alcoholism or something like that. And I'm like, oh,
my fuddy, Trey sad. You know, my dad had it
and he's passed it on to me. And there's a
dark cloud and there's this and I was like, oh,
and I was about to call you we're okay, and like,
(01:15):
I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm a Cowboys fan.
I was like, oh, man, he got me.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
But if you think about it, I mean, Trey has
been sober for nine years, and of all of all
the possible addictions, Trey's had just about all of them.
And the last remaining one really is his sports allegiance
to the Cowboys. Yeah, if we would Trey, can you
(01:44):
recap briefly the first handful of steps that you've shared
with us so far in Cowboys Anonymous?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Step one, we admitted we were powerless over the Cowboys.
Our team and its salary cap have become unmanageable. Step two.
Came to believe that only a power greater than ourselves,
namely an owner GM and head coach, could restore us
to sanity. Three made a decision to turn our fandom
(02:16):
and our falls over to the care of a god
as we understood him, someone who actually knows about football
and talent evaluation. Number four made a searching and fearless
inventory of our roster and the time we've devoted to
deluding ourselves about it.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We are going to share more of Treys thirteen step
program to cure us all of our Cowboys addiction. Leading
up two the first game against the Eagles on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I forgot though there was I actually added a part
Step two.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh you did, uh huh?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Okay, so let me read step two again.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Came to believe that only a power greater than ourselves,
namely an owner GM and head coach, could restore us
to sanity. Someone who cares more about blue Stars than
blue label.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That is solid.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But if you've never had blue label, I mean it's
kind of a toss up. It's pretty smooth.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I'll tell you. What's not smooth is choking on the
blue star and when it's being shoved down your throat
to the Cowboys man, Yeah that's true. Okay, So what
tray are the news steps that you are going to
reveal to us for Cowboys Anonymous?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So step five admitted to our to, admitted to God,
ourselves and another human being that we suck and our
roster is doo doo and Dak is mid at best.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I feel like that was most of last season for me.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
We're entirely ready for God, the NFL, or someone who
knows what they're doing to remove all the defects in
our in our roster.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah all right, so we're halfway there, and we'll delve
into more of Trey's steps.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Do we do we get a do we get like
a weekly chip? How does it work?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
That's actually a pretty good idea. We hadn't discussed chips yet.
We're just trying to get through the list before we
actually start counting whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Well, I think now that we've talked about it. There
are people that will attend these meetings or and or
what they're called games.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I think I think I'll be the first one to
show up and admit that I have a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I love it well trade things. I have the biggest
problem of them all because I posted the other day
that about the about the trade that I didn't hate it.
Let me tell you exactly what I posted, just out
of the sake of, you know, transparency. So Thursday night,
after the news broke that the Cowboys had traded Michael Parsons,
(05:21):
I posted, if you're Big Matt at the Dallas Cowboys
for trading Micah Parsons. You weren't following the story closely enough,
And I threw in a photo of Michah Parsons from
their last preseason game lying on the trainer's table taking
a nappy nap during that game, to which Trey you
said right before we started the show today that that
is a poop poo take mm hmm, well your poo
(05:46):
poo it's lacking.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
If you had given it. There's one piece of context
that that could have made it okay, which is of
the mess that Jerry made of the situation. How he
got out of it was the best option left. It
should never have gotten to that point, but it did.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Now that's where the argument can surface is who's it
fault to get to that point? And I'm not saying
Jerry is blame free in this, by the way. I'm
just simply saying that this is one of those rare
occasions where it's not all Jerry's fault. I in addition
to that post, I also said this is one of
the very few times Jerry Jones acted like an actual
(06:35):
GM The Cowboys reportedly get two first rounders and a
Pro Bowl defensive lineman. It's not the herschel Walker trade,
but it is the closest thing since that the Cowboys
have done. I'm not saying I love it, but I'll
live with it. What are you making a face for.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
It's closer to the Luca trade than it is the
herschel Walker trade.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Oooh no, no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Ohd you've got an aging injured.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The MAVs wove got so little like to me, the
Micah trade and the Luca trade are in nowhere the
same ballpark. The Luca thing was so much worse. It
was worse handled. The trade value for it was abysmal.
At least this you get some workable pieces to build on.
With the Luca thing, it was such a trash trade.
(07:22):
It was like they it was almost personal. It's like,
why did you ask for so little? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I mean so, I mean if the Cowboys, this is
what they get for waiting, you know, as long as
they did.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Had they done this last year, it probably would have
been fine. But Jerry doesn't do that. He likes to
wait for that last almost last year because they they
would have had Mica under control for another couple of
years if they really wanted it. But he waited on
Dak and then had to back up the truck even more,
costing him fifteen to twenty million dollars. Had he done
the Dak deal a year earlier, he would have saved
the team money. Why are you chicking your face right?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Because the DAC was is still one of the worst.
It's one of the worst contracts in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
NFL besides what's the kid from Houston that they traded.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Up the Cleveland Brown's, uh, Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm not saying it's a good contract. I'm just saying,
had Jerry made the deal a year prior, it would
have saved the team a lot of money. But he
waited and it cost him a lot more money per year.
Same thing with the Micah deal. If they had done
this last year, they might have gotten Micah roped in
on lesser dollars per year. They didn't do it for
whatever reason. Now, all that being said, Jerry wants and
(08:39):
I put this on the post. Jerry wants to pay
his guys. He always has. I think back to when
Zeke was doing his whole shenanigans in Mexico holding out.
How many fans were ready to see him go bye bye,
and Jerry still paid him.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
That's you're missing a key, a key perspective on that.
Jerry likes to pay the guys that no one else
would pay.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He overpays for mediocre talent and he lets great talent go.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Sometimes that that is the case, but if it's if
it is a top tier person, he wants to keep them.
Dak in his mind, Dak CD.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Mike in his mind, you know, Dak. At the end
of the year, when they go most you know, the
league does a deal of most overrated players. Dak is
always on the and these are the players voting and keeping.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Again, this is not a Dak thing. I'm not saying
Dak's worth the money that he got. I will say this.
In the NFL, the most important player on your team
is quarterback. They don't have a better option than Dak
right now. So that's why they had to pay him.
That's why they should have paid him a year before.
And it saved themselves a little bit of money. Yes,
and they could have done that too, but they didn't. Yeah,
but but that that goes to show. It's proof that
(09:55):
Jerry wants to pay his guys. And he tried to
get Mike assigned and Mike is like, well, yeah, I'm
good with this. They basically had a verbal agreement, and
then Micah's agent goes, no, you don't, We're not doing
it this way. And keep in mind, Micah said last
year he would happily take less. He said he doesn't
need that amount of money. Until this all started, all
(10:18):
of a sudden, he does need this amount of money.
And then he starts acting like an emo baby on
the sidelines and during a training camp, and I'm sure
that pissed off the team, and as a fan, that
annoyed me, like, it's not my money. But if you
think you're worth a certain dollar amount that you are
demanding and commanding, then you need to act like it
(10:39):
instead of acting like a baby on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
But I also think his stats prior to that gave
him that value, so he can't he can't act like
an emo baby when he's also being devalued by the
guy who said.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Then don't be on the sidelines. If that's going to
be your attitude, just hold out and go bye bye
until something has happened. Don't go to training camp, don't
go to the games and be a distraction the kid
on the sideline.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
But then you would complain about that, like, look at it,
look at him, How disrespectful is that. There's all that.
Now I've seen people's posts were like, well, you know
he's got back issues, so let him go.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
He does not have back issues. You see the video
of him dancing around his living room at the announcement
of him being traded and being signed.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, everybody everybody has their like if they would have
signed him, the conversation would be different, but they didn't,
So another conversation everybody's trying to find the faults in
him and not the fact that Trey's right, Jerry Jones,
you need to put the emphasis on his guys. He
doesn't want to pay all he wants to pay in
(11:44):
his head who he thinks is going to take him
back to those glory days and was.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
One of his guys until it switched.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
But the probably with Dak, Jerry so wants the validation
that he's a football guy and he wants people to
know that he took that what was Dack a third
round pick or fourth round pick?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Fourth?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, he wants that, you know, He's like, he wants
that recognition that, oh I saw that, I saw what
no one else saw. He's never gonna get it he
everyone else saw what what he actually got.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Now, if the Packers win the Super Bowl, I'll laugh
my butt off.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
If the Packers win the Super Bowl, it's not going
to be single handedly at the hands of Micah, because
a Parsons, a Micah Parsons less Packers beat the ever
loving crap out of the Cowboys in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying the irony
would be if he gets traded the Packers and they
win a ring. Oh my, I mean nobody. I mean,
if the.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Packers win the Super Bowl, it's going to because it's
going to be because their quarterback did some amazing things
with help of Micah Parsons.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah, I mean Jerry would have to jump off the
high five. He would have to, he would have to
end it. He would never be able to live it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Down Ross here's the thing. He wouldn't jump. You might
get shoved. You're in the tree House.

(14:19):
Trey in EU raj is this the list of places
that women refuse to go on a first date? Has
gone viral again. It was originally shared in twenty twenty three.
The post sparked wide debate over dating expectations and effort,
and its reappearances once again fueling conversation across social media.
(14:43):
The list of absolute knows from women for first dates,
and some of these might surprise you. For example, sporting
events came in at number twenty eight, number twenty seven,
waffle house twenty six. A bar just for drinks draws
(15:05):
a hard no from women, number twenty five, A hookah bar, nightclubs,
bowling at twenty three. Women say no to bowling now
far High State. Yeah, I feel like that's location specific.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Not in Cleveland. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
For fact, I feel like like a tornado alley would
absolutely be fine with a bowling alley. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Yeah, Texas.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I also think that the bowling thing would probably be
more venue specific, because like in Dallas there are a
couple of nice places you can go bowling that I mean,
they're like.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You take a first date to Penstack, You're going to
be just fine. Yeah, No, number twenty two somewhere that
requires a long drive. Well, you're not going to get
that with Raj anyway or Tray for that. I mean,
Trey will drive for a date. You've done that, You
did that last year. You met someone like pretty far
out for a date. Raj, that's a hard note for you.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Well, I'll drive. I just when I get there, they're
better be parking, but I'll drive right back. I love driving.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I mean, yeah, that's a really so driving to a
date one thing. I would never on a first date
go somewhere that requires a long drive because if they
get on my nerves in the car on the get go, man,
that's going to be a bad date and you're stuck
in a car with them for like an hour.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, but you can also do this. If it's that bad,
you can stop midway and be like, here's fifty bucks
for an uber. Yeah, I'm going the rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You can pull a Tony Romo.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah you can. You can stop it right there.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Number twenty two movie night like Netflix, Hulu, et cetera.
So going to a movie I guess so far in
this list they're still okay with but not at home
Netflix and Hulu. Number twenty family functions. That's a hard
pass for a first date, to be honest, that's one
of the ones I agree with him. I don't know
why for a first date you'd want to do that.
(17:11):
For a family function, I think you're really pretty. Do
you want to go to my godchild Christening? Ice Cream
dates at nineteen? Coffee dates at eighteen? Starbucks is seventeen.
Somehow that's different than coffee dates. So you know women
made this list. I'm going to get there more option
(17:33):
on that list.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
There's more options on Starbucks, right, there's like lattes and
stuff that, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Snacks and such. A church? Okay, you met at church.
Do not do church for a first date.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
If I show up with a chick a church. Do
you know she's hot because I'm Hindu? Yeah, if I'm
like he is my savior, she is hot? Who like
so smoking hot? We're all gonna question of whether or
not you made a deal with the devil, Yes, and
I would have. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Fifteen women say absolutely not to a first date at.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
The gym, Oh good, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Fourteen Denny's thirteen I hop. I don't know why those
are somehow worse than waffle House as far as the
ranking is concerned, but there they are, next to each other.
A buffet at number twelve. Number eleven, Red Lobster draws
a hard pass from ladies on a first date. Now
we're into the top ten. Okay, quickside thing though, If
(18:41):
you want to date my mom, she is single, and
you can take her to Red Lobster. She loves it.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I love a woman that likes a cheddar biscuit.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
What about one that loves all the cheddar biscuits like
own basket kind of thing? And who can blame her?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Here we go the top ten of the places that
women absolutely refuse to go on a first date, as
originally posted in twenty twenty three that has now gone ReViral.
Number ten, Wingstop, number nine, Buffalo Wild Wings really anti
wings here? Number eight any fast food chain. Again, there's
(19:19):
some get I get all those, yeah, but any fast
food chain really just kind of took away half the list.
I've already said, so that this list really could have
been like six or seven as opposed to twenty eight.
Number seven, your house. They don't want a first date
at your house. Okay, someplace in public. I get that.
The movies there it is. Apparently the movies is no
(19:41):
longer first date material. Now we're into the top five.
You remember how any fast food chain was number eight.
The top five is full of fast food chains that
women refuse to go on a first date. Number five,
Olive Garden number four, Chipotle number three, Chili's number two,
apple Bee's number one. What do you think the chain
(20:05):
restaurant of choice is for women to say absolutely not
on a first date.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You hit home like Applebe's, Chilis. You hit those, So
that's what I would have guessed.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
There's a big one along with a big, big menu.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Cheesecake factory.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Cheesecake factory.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, there you go, cheesecake factory. Number one place when
women refuse to go on a first date. So now
that those are the twenty eight places they won't go,
good luck finding one they will go.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I mean, the lady that I'm seeing, we just kind
of we just did. The first date was at her place.
We watched the new episodes of South Park and yeah,
just kind of hung out. So the home thing, I
don't know that was her idea.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
That sounds to me. But you guys already went out one,
so that's more of a second.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
No, different, different, different lady.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I haven't gone out with Oh oh, and we're already
saying we're seeing her.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yes, Oh what happened to the Russian?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
He was very lovely. We had a very nice dinner.
She's just not really my type. She wanted to go
out for cigars afterwards, and I'm like, and I'm out,
so okay, but I'm like, that's what that was a
very Russian thing. I'm like, are we going to an
underground poker room? Like where are you taking me?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yes? But no, we had we had a nice we
had It's very brave of you to decline a second
date with a woman.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I did it in public so she couldn't kill me there.
Uh no. So it was a very nice dinner and
we had some lovely conversation of a lovely hug. When
she's like, do you want to go with me to
the cigar bar here in Madison And I'm like, I will.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
No, Okay, So for the girl that you now claim
you are seeing, it was her idea to come over
and watch South Park ye for me to come to
her place and on a first date. Yeah, okay, but
that's I guess that's different because it was her idea. Now,
had you proposed that she might who knows?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Maybe so yeah, maybe that Maybe that would sound creepy,
but wow.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
That's a groundbreaking concept if she thinks of it. It's okay.

All right, here we go, Frankin Bunnies, zombie squirrels, mutant deer,
and now the first human case of the flesh eating
(23:32):
parasite New World screwworm has been detected in the United States.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say,
the apocalypse won't announce itself, but there will be signs.
And I think we have our first handful. Is there
any doubt that we are in the end times now?
(23:54):
It's just a matter of when the final thing drops?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
This is there a sort of how Dan starts a cult?
The end Times are opponents.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
My friends. I'm just in the corner over here, mixing
kool Aid.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
It wasn't even it was flavoring. That's the worst part
about that.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
It was knocked off kool Aid.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
It was it was generic kool Aid.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh no, God, I don't know if I'm going out,
I'm not going out on dollar store kool Aid.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
That's just.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
The icy pops taken.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Like, I don't know if I'm making you drink Colt juice,
it's gonna be name brand stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
See. And that's why I would join. I like, I
want to be in a boogie cult.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I mean, look, it's it's sure, it's deadly, but it
is delicious.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah. Dan's cult is a little bit below scientology. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Mine actually will be the kool Aid cult. I will
smash my way through your living room wall and give
you all the reasons why the end times are here,
and you can take a sip out of me. Oh yeah, yeah,
have a sip of back Colt juice, which, by the way,
part of our cult before we do this is going
(25:14):
to be making and branding Colt juice and selling it.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
It's so it sounds so hipsteristal if you made that
a vodka right now, it would fly off the shelves.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'd buy it. Like sorry, sorry, snoop, eat your heart
out with nineteen crimes. I'm pumping out some Colt juice.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
We should start this even making it up.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I mean, the Bible has their signs of the apocalypse,
but even the guys that wrote the Bible didn't think
of Frankin Bunny's deer, Bambi, herpes, zombie squirrels, and now
the flesh eating bacteria called the New World screwworm.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, that just sounds like a hip hop group, New
World Screworm or I think more emo, more emo.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Okay, Uh yeah, I got I could see that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
The larva of the New World screw worm fly can
devastate cattle herds and is rife in parts of Central America. See,
that's part of the reason why some of the immigrants
are coming here. They're like, screw worm, We're coming to you.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
What what what?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I have no idea I got. I got stuck somewhere
in Central America and Asia Central and and and and
both were horrific at defensive. And so I'm saying like
it started sort of like Guatemalan and it ended somewhere
like Far East Age and it was just all bad. Anyway,
(26:50):
The first human case of the flesh eating parasite New
World screwworm has been detected in the United States. That's
according to the Department of Health and Human Services, which
I find fascinating. Usually it's the CDC that announces these things,
but because a bunch of them have been fired or
resigned and there's distrust in the CDC from the COVID era,
that now HHS is saddled with announcing these things because
(27:11):
maybe people will believe it more. If we get to
the point where the Secretary of State is pushing vaccines,
you know we've hit a new low. But as it is,
this case involves a person who had recently traveled to
El Salvador, was confirmed to be screw worm by the
CDC and the Maryland Health Department. They said in a
(27:32):
statement that the resident had recovered from the infection and
the investigation confirmed there is no indication of transmission to
any other individuals or animals, which census is coming from
a government agency, there absolutely is. We're all going to die.
By the way, you have a quota on filling your
number of bottles of cult juice today, so get at it.
They also say this is the first human case of
(27:53):
travel associated New World screw worm biases from an outbreak
affected country identified in the United States. The risk of
public health in the United States from this introduction is
very low. Okay, sure, Jan, nothing to see here. You're fine.
(28:16):
You're not going to be eaten by a screw worm. Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
So is it a worm or is it an infection?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'm it sounds like it can be both. It's fly larva,
So maybe fly lerva gets in you and then it
turns into a screw worm and then eat you maybe
from the inside out.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
But then what wouldn't fly larva turn into a fly
I don't know how that would still be a worm
just scientifically. But oh am I I'm not at the CDC,
but yeah, I mean that would be that would be
hard to at your funeral, Like, well, was it the cancer?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Oh? Was it his die? No?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Here, I don't know why that has anything to do
with this. Okay, screw worms, But well, what did he
die of?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I knew he was int the weird stuff, but what
killed him?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Told him to stay out of neck and fight club.

to the Treehouse Show and let's grow. In the last
week or so, we have mentioned one of our favorite
comedies of all time, Airplane, and that movie came out
all the way back in nineteen eighty and it is
a classic. We may disagree on the Cowboys trading Michael
(30:27):
Parsons and certain details of that, but we all agree
that airplane is a classic comedy. Now, Collider dot com thought,
you know what, let's all get together, put our big
brains in one pile and come up with the ten
funniest movies of the past fifty years.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Oh interesting? Okay?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah? So are these the ten funniest movies of the
last fifty years? Collider dot com thinks, so, I'm curious
to know what you think. Number ten came out in
two thousand and four, Anchor Man, The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
Do you think that is a top ten comedy over
(31:12):
the last fifty years?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Okay, all right. Number nine, A Fish called Wanda Jami
Curtis came out nineteen eighty eight. Line. I will admit
I have seen it, but it's been a very long time,
and I don't remember a whole lot about it. And
I think I was a kid, so don't I didn't
really get a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I think John Cleese was in that as well.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yep, I need that's one I need to watch. I'd say, rewatch,
but I don't necessarily think it should count when I
watched it when I was like, you know, eight, But
you guys agree, Fish called Wanda would be a top
ten over the last fifty years. Okay, number eight in
two thousand and seven, super Bad. No, I'm with you there.
(31:59):
I liked the movie, but I don't think I would
put it in the top ten funniest movies over the
last fifty years. No, No, number seven. I don't take
any fault with this, kind of like the Mica trade.
I don't have a problem with its inclusion in the
top ten from nineteen seventy nine, The Life of Brian.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Oh, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I'm sorry. Just seeing the title it makes me laugh.
I mean, just seeing the title of a movie making
me laugh says a lot about the movie. Yeah, and
just that opening scene, just open up, the shutters scene,
all the way to the end, everyone on the crosses
singing about life, looking on the bright side of life.
(32:47):
That's like twenty dudes are crucified. Oh okay, all right,
Number six, nineteen ninety four Clerks.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Oh, it was good. I'd put in the top twenty. Yeah,
I wouldn't put it in the top ten.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I might. It'd be difficult to make a list like this.
I will admit that, because there were some very funny
movies over the last fifty years, and Clerks was very
different at the time. You were talking about a movie
that was made for like a thousand bucks. Yeah, and
it has some classic lines, not the least of which
is his girlfriend and the things that she did thirty
seven times in a row. Number five, Here we go.
(33:35):
Top five funniest movies over the last fifty years, according
to Collider dot com. Nineteen ninety eight's The Big Lebowski.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I mean a cult classic, brilliant movie. I don't know
about top ten comedy. I agree.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I love that movie. I would not slap it in
the top ten. Yeah, funniest films in the last fifty years.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I would kind of lump that in with Clerks of
if you were doing cultural, yeah, impactful, you know. Yeah,
but top ten funniest No.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Number four from twenty eleven Bridesmaids. I will say it
was certainly toilet humor. But yeah, of movies in the
last fifty years, the scene where they all have food
poisoning is among one of the like the hardest laughing
(34:25):
sessions I've had with a film. And I realized it's
completely low hanging fruit. It's toilet humor and everything. But
I'm sorry when when she wouldn't Melissa McCarthy, even though
she's polarizing, says it's coming out like hot lof I
just lost it. That was a great scene.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, but I don't think that qualifies the movie into
the top five.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Number three, I think Trey is going to be okay
with this one. Nineteen ninety six is the Bird Cage.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Again. That's when I need to go back and rewatch
because that that was a movie. I laughed hard. I mean,
Gene Hackman playing off of just over the top Nathan Lady.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yes, but Hank Khazaria steals that movie.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Oh absolutely, yeah, he's so good.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
The whole movie's so good.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
He steals that movie.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And they did a really good job casting the couple
that brings these two families together, because I can kind
of remember the guy's face. I don't even remember the girl.
And they should be forgettable because you don't want them
taking away from.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
The star power of the parents on both don't remember
Calista Flockhart, that's who it was.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yes, okay, he was a little forgettable and it was fine.
Number two nineteen eighty four's this is Spinal Tap.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Oh for sure, Absolutely, yeah, I agree. I wouldn't put
it at number two. Yeah, I put it in the
top ten. It'd probably be eight for me. But I
do believe they're making Spinal Tap two.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yes they are, and I.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Don't know if they should, but I will go. I
will see it, but because I mean, all the all
the cast is still around, so I will still watch it.
But Spinal Tap great movie.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I am with you. I know I've seen that movie,
but it was an extremely long time ago. I need
to I need to write down my list of the
films that I need to watch slash rewatch because it's
been so long, and Spinal Tap is one of them. Yeah,
and it is one of the most quoted movies of
all time. Would just then turn it up to eleven
and the level will say that and have no idea
(36:39):
of its origin, right, I've seen that.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I've seen like young kids like turn up to eleven
and I'm like, you don't know where that came.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
That gave no fing clue where that came from? Do you?
Number one, According to Collider dot com, the funniest movie
of the last fifty years is Airplane.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yes, I mean, you know, we left out a lot
of I mean, I can't believe nothing from No Brooks
really made it into Blazing Saddles Blazing History of the World.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I'm with you the fact that that's not on there.
I mean, I like, look, i'd love Spaceballs. I wouldn't
put it in the top ten. It might be the
top ten in my heart, yes, but no Blazing Saddles. Honestly,
if you had Blazing Saddles and Airplane one and two
in either order, right, I don't think anyone would be
(37:37):
mad about it. But the fact that Collider dot com
and did not include it is such such a just
it it affects the credibility of the list.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
An Airplane two was actually really good as well. Like,
people don't realize that William Shatner killed me in that movie.
It's just the biggest it was playing William Shatner was him.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Well, look, I mean, if we're being honest, if you're
going to make a list of the top ten funniest
films over the last fifty years and you don't include
Blazing Saddles, your credibility is in question. Also, if you
can't bother to include at least one Police Academy, I'm
looking at you, sideways.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I never found those movies funny and GW. Bailey was
one of my professors in college, and I never had
the ard to tell them I don't find any of
those funny. I thought Michael Winslow was great because I
like the sound effect thing. That's pretty cool. And if
you ever go to lunch with them, he does it.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Any glaring omissions from the list tray for you, I.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Would have put Old School and or Animal House.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Oh yeah. I wonder if they were trying to go
like a politically politically correct route they.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Had to, because if that's the case, then that would
explain why Blazing Saddles and Animal House are not on
the list. Same could be said for Fast Times at
Ridgemont High.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Oh yeah, for sure. Uh you know, and then like
the top ten, I don't know what's out for me.
I mean, Monty Python's a holy grail. I don't know
how long that didn't make it same.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
I'm right there with you, Yeah, mel Brooks, Monty Python,
holy grail, Come on, man.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Now they may not have intended it to be funny,
but if you go and you watch American Ninja four,
you don't laugh.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
The annihilation.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
You're listening to the Treehouse visit us online a Treehouse
on air dot com.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
You're in the treehouse US online, a Treehouse on air
dot Com.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Today is September first, twenty twenty five. Hope you're having
an outstanding labor day and we're going to celebrate with
some birthdays. September first birthday babies. Zindaiya, Zandia whatever. Zindeia
is twenty eight years old today. She is whatever, however
(40:29):
you say her name, and the Dune movies, the New
Dune movies. She's also Rue Bennett on HBO's Euphoria and
Michelle Jones mj in the New Spider Man movies. In
the MCU quick question, I've either of you seen the
New Dune movie with Zendia and Timothy Sallame.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
It's part one. I have not seen part two.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I've seen both. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I mean, it's star studded cast, there's no doubt. I guess.
I just I don't. I don't for some reason that movie,
with the premise of it, even though it's very it's
kind of similar to you, like Star Wars type stuff,
sci fi and all that, it just doesn't really pull
me in. Although I will say I am fascinated by
the arc of Timothy Chalameange's character where it's like he's
(41:16):
supposed to be a freedom fighter and he's out for
revenge because they killed his family, and then he basically
is going to turn into a really bad dude. That
part's interesting.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
I thought they did an excellent job with part one,
and like I just I don't know why I never
watched part two, just the.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Way I look at it. If you if you saw
part one, then you should absolutely see part Like if
you saw part one and you at least liked it,
then you should definitely see the second one. Other birthdays today,
let's see here JD Fortune. He won rock Star in
excess to replace the late Michael Hutchins as lead singer.
(41:56):
He is fifty two today. However, he's not been with
him since twenty eleven for vastly different reasons than Michael
Hutchins is no longer with them.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah, didn't they replaced him with because Michael Hutchinson has
a brother that looks just like him, and I.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Really that's yes. Now, did they not get him in
the first place?
Speaker 2 (42:15):
That was the whole thing. I'm sure it was like
we got this new reality show that we're going to
do and when you win, you can be the frontman
for in Access And he's like, uh, hello, I can
do that now.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Like he's in the front row and they're just looking
above him, like over his head, like anyone anyone in here.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Like, yeah, I believe it's I think they almost look similar.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Interesting. My still my my favorite though, as far as
replacing a lead singer in a band, My favorite story
is Steve Perry leaving Journey and then Journey finding its
new frontman had a karaoke bar in the Philippines. Dude
sounds just like Steve Perry.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
I found him on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, yeah, on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Arnell Perneda is his name, and the two bartenders at
the laugh Actory you're both Filipino. And then when he
got the gig they were it was like it was
like India won the World Cup. Like that's like like
that's how they acted like Philippine, Like can you believe it?
I was like, he's a karaoke singer. The best part
of what did they say is the greatest form of
(43:18):
flattery's imitation, right, And that's what it is. And I
would never go but I did like when they get
inducted in the Hall of Fames. Steve Perry didn't stand
up and walk on stage with them. He's still sat
in the front and then after they were done with
their speech, he went up and spoke, and I thought
that was classic because like, let him have his moment.
What was the what?
Speaker 1 (43:40):
What was what happened there?
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Steve Perry lost his voice?
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Okay, well he also had an he was good. They
wanted to go on tour. Steve was like, I don't
want to go yet, and everybody was fighting to go
on tour. So he was training because the front man
like just because of how much work you have to
do on stage. So he was like running near his
house and whole and he got to the top of
a hill and he couldn't move and he had to
have a hip replacement. They found it out later and
(44:07):
simultaneously with what Tray said, like he had to have
like vocal lessons and I think he had like pull
ups on his vocal cord or something like that. So
he's like, I'm gonna be out for another six months.
When when I'm done, we'll resume the tour. And the
band was like, you're fired, because they so jacked up Yeah,
they just wanted to go back out on the road
and make money. Well they found this kid.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
I think, I think, because I don't think he's still
like I think it was I might be able to
sing again. And they were like, yeah, sorry, we're not
waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
And I don't know how long of a time frame
it was from when they fired Steve Perry when they
got the Filipino YouTuber. But it wasn't immediate like it
it took some time.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Anyway, that's just such a fascinating story. Just to have
greed takeover that much. It's like, but sucks for you, Steve.
We're gonna We're just gonna find some somebody and keep
on going.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
The best part of it is he wrote the majority
of their songs, so when they go out and perform,
like I think it's him, one other guy that writes
the songs for it, Like he still gets paid. Yeah,
so he's like when they went up there to accept
the award, you know, the deduction of the Hall of Fame,
you could have seen the smile on his face, like Graskins,
(45:19):
he should have.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Said thank you. In Filipino, you're listening to.

All right, we have just a couple of minutes left
for the show today, Tray, is there any more taking
to task you would like to do to me over
(46:12):
the Micah Parsons trade away from the Cowboys to the Packers. Again,
let me just reiterate, I don't love the trade. I
don't love the situation, but based on what happened, I
can live with what they got for him.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Then, like I told you, I'm gonna save a chair
for you when you're when you're ready to quit your
addiction you have, there's a spot spot for you.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
At Cowboys Anonymous.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
I'll be your sponsor.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Can it can be next to the coffee and the
donuts so I can just kind of reach over and
just absolutely plenty.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
If you can call me anytime day or night, and
I'll explain to you what happened during the game.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
I don't feel like that's a good sponsor.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I just don't want you to relapse to nineteen ninety
six or nineteen ninety three. They actually won a championship.
I don't want you to revert back to then.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
I will say this, I was thinking that my my
worst nightmare was going to be that if Micah left
and whatever was that he would have tried everything within
his power and his agent's power to land in Washington
to be reunited with what's his nuts. And you're talking
(47:33):
about a team that's just that just came off of
going to the NFC title game and then acquiring Micah.
I thought, oh man, that would be that would be
an ideal situation. I would think if you're Micah. But
instead they shipped him off to Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
Yeah. I don't think there was any chance Jerry was
going to trade him in conference in divisions.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Yeah no, although it's Jerry, you never know. Yeah, I
mean maybe if he called, like if he quick hypothetical.
I usually hate these in sports stock but whatever, I'll
do this one. If Okay, so we get the Cowboys
get two first rounders and a Pro Bowl defensive tackle
(48:14):
for micro Parsons. That's what they get from Green Bay.
Would you have been okay with sending Micah to Washington
if you got three first round picks.
Speaker 3 (48:25):
Yes, I would have been fine sending them anywhere. The
Cowboys are gonna suck regardless.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
So it just doesn't matter where for how much.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
No, Yeah, I'll take the more of the picks, but
as long as that, as long as they have that
d contract. I mean, here's how I messed up the
that contract is most quarterback contracts, you're the highest paid
quarterback for less than a year because there's always some more.
They'll do a dollar more DAK. A year later, it's
still the highest paid quarterback.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Yeah. And and thank you to Jerry Jones for inventing
the salary cap.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
An idiot, the architect of his destruction.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
That's right, just because you can make it doesn't mean
you can operate it.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
Yeah, he's he's neuro with the nets.
Speaker 3 (49:09):
And I will always contend the start where Jerry starts off,
and it absolutely he you're basically you're one or year
two of the salary cap completely screws the team and
everything else. When he signed Don Sanders. Yeah, because you
could have signed a lot of core players instead of
that contract.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
And Roger, you said, Jerry's, Jerry's what Jerry's He's near
Nero with his fiddle.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
You know, he's just watching Rome Burn.
Speaker 1 (49:36):
Eventually he looks around and goes, ah, Welcome to the
world of cowboys fans, Jerry for all things Treehouse, go
to Treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 3 (49:55):
Yes, I did think of one, or actually two movies
that really got should have been on that list. The
top ten. Dumb and Dumber.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Interestingly, a scene that would compete with how hard I
laughed at the diarrhea scene in Bride'smaids would certainly be
Jeff Daniels diarrhea scene in Dumb and Dumber and.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
Dan I'm surprised you didn't catch this one. Either Vacation
or Christmas Vacation.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Oh no, I'm with you. They might be in my
top ten, and Christmas Vacation is in my top ten,
but I don't expect everyone else to agree with that one.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
Then you have to go with Fletch. I do love Fletch.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
I even like Fletch Lives.
Speaker 6 (50:39):
No, you need to end this show now, I mean,
come on, it had Randall text Cobb and jail, wearing makeup,
saying he was in jail for molesting a dead horse.
Speaker 1 (51:01):
Chevy Chase dressed up as a televangelist. All right, whatever,
Treehouse on Air dot com, find and follow us on
social media for the show. It's at Treehouse on Air.
For me, it's at the Daniel Maley Portray. It's at
Tree turn Home one and forage, it's at Comedian Raj.
Have a fantastic what's left of your labor day. We'll
see you tomorrow, right back here inside the Treehouse
It is time I believe your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley along
with Trade Trenholm and Sharma, and we definitely need some
laughs today because the three of us are Cowboys fans.
(00:40):
In a shocking move, the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons
and even though we just started it, we've never needed
Trey's Cowboys Anonymous more.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Oh, such a great video. I bought that thing so hard.
In the very beginning. I thought you were about depression
or alcoholism or something like that. And I'm like, oh,
my fuddy, Trey sad. You know, my dad had it
and he's passed it on to me. And there's a
dark cloud and there's this and I was like, oh,
and I was about to call you we're okay, and like,
(01:15):
I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm a Cowboys fan.
I was like, oh, man, he got me.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
But if you think about it, I mean, Trey has
been sober for nine years, and of all of all
the possible addictions, Trey's had just about all of them.
And the last remaining one really is his sports allegiance
to the Cowboys. Yeah, if we would Trey, can you
(01:44):
recap briefly the first handful of steps that you've shared
with us so far in Cowboys Anonymous?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Step one, we admitted we were powerless over the Cowboys.
Our team and its salary cap have become unmanageable. Step two.
Came to believe that only a power greater than ourselves,
namely an owner GM and head coach, could restore us
to sanity. Three made a decision to turn our fandom
(02:16):
and our falls over to the care of a god
as we understood him, someone who actually knows about football
and talent evaluation. Number four made a searching and fearless
inventory of our roster and the time we've devoted to
deluding ourselves about it.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We are going to share more of Treys thirteen step
program to cure us all of our Cowboys addiction. Leading
up two the first game against the Eagles on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I forgot though there was I actually added a part
Step two.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh you did, uh huh?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Okay, so let me read step two again.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Came to believe that only a power greater than ourselves,
namely an owner GM and head coach, could restore us
to sanity. Someone who cares more about blue Stars than
blue label.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That is solid.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But if you've never had blue label, I mean it's
kind of a toss up. It's pretty smooth.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I'll tell you. What's not smooth is choking on the
blue star and when it's being shoved down your throat
to the Cowboys man, Yeah that's true. Okay, So what
tray are the news steps that you are going to
reveal to us for Cowboys Anonymous?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So step five admitted to our to, admitted to God,
ourselves and another human being that we suck and our
roster is doo doo and Dak is mid at best.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I feel like that was most of last season for me.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
We're entirely ready for God, the NFL, or someone who
knows what they're doing to remove all the defects in
our in our roster.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah all right, so we're halfway there, and we'll delve
into more of Trey's steps.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Do we do we get a do we get like
a weekly chip? How does it work?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
That's actually a pretty good idea. We hadn't discussed chips yet.
We're just trying to get through the list before we
actually start counting whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Well, I think now that we've talked about it. There
are people that will attend these meetings or and or
what they're called games.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I think I think I'll be the first one to
show up and admit that I have a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I love it well trade things. I have the biggest
problem of them all because I posted the other day
that about the about the trade that I didn't hate it.
Let me tell you exactly what I posted, just out
of the sake of, you know, transparency. So Thursday night,
after the news broke that the Cowboys had traded Michael Parsons,
(05:21):
I posted, if you're Big Matt at the Dallas Cowboys
for trading Micah Parsons. You weren't following the story closely enough,
And I threw in a photo of Michah Parsons from
their last preseason game lying on the trainer's table taking
a nappy nap during that game, to which Trey you
said right before we started the show today that that
is a poop poo take mm hmm, well your poo
(05:46):
poo it's lacking.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
If you had given it. There's one piece of context
that that could have made it okay, which is of
the mess that Jerry made of the situation. How he
got out of it was the best option left. It
should never have gotten to that point, but it did.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Now that's where the argument can surface is who's it
fault to get to that point? And I'm not saying
Jerry is blame free in this, by the way. I'm
just simply saying that this is one of those rare
occasions where it's not all Jerry's fault. I in addition
to that post, I also said this is one of
the very few times Jerry Jones acted like an actual
(06:35):
GM The Cowboys reportedly get two first rounders and a
Pro Bowl defensive lineman. It's not the herschel Walker trade,
but it is the closest thing since that the Cowboys
have done. I'm not saying I love it, but I'll
live with it. What are you making a face for.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
It's closer to the Luca trade than it is the
herschel Walker trade.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Oooh no, no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Ohd you've got an aging injured.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The MAVs wove got so little like to me, the
Micah trade and the Luca trade are in nowhere the
same ballpark. The Luca thing was so much worse. It
was worse handled. The trade value for it was abysmal.
At least this you get some workable pieces to build on.
With the Luca thing, it was such a trash trade.
(07:22):
It was like they it was almost personal. It's like,
why did you ask for so little? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I mean so, I mean if the Cowboys, this is
what they get for waiting, you know, as long as
they did.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Had they done this last year, it probably would have
been fine. But Jerry doesn't do that. He likes to
wait for that last almost last year because they they
would have had Mica under control for another couple of
years if they really wanted it. But he waited on
Dak and then had to back up the truck even more,
costing him fifteen to twenty million dollars. Had he done
the Dak deal a year earlier, he would have saved
the team money. Why are you chicking your face right?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Because the DAC was is still one of the worst.
It's one of the worst contracts in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
NFL besides what's the kid from Houston that they traded.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Up the Cleveland Brown's, uh, Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm not saying it's a good contract. I'm just saying,
had Jerry made the deal a year prior, it would
have saved the team a lot of money. But he
waited and it cost him a lot more money per year.
Same thing with the Micah deal. If they had done
this last year, they might have gotten Micah roped in
on lesser dollars per year. They didn't do it for
whatever reason. Now, all that being said, Jerry wants and
(08:39):
I put this on the post. Jerry wants to pay
his guys. He always has. I think back to when
Zeke was doing his whole shenanigans in Mexico holding out.
How many fans were ready to see him go bye bye,
and Jerry still paid him.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
That's you're missing a key, a key perspective on that.
Jerry likes to pay the guys that no one else
would pay.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He overpays for mediocre talent and he lets great talent go.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Sometimes that that is the case, but if it's if
it is a top tier person, he wants to keep them.
Dak in his mind, Dak CD.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Mike in his mind, you know, Dak. At the end
of the year, when they go most you know, the
league does a deal of most overrated players. Dak is
always on the and these are the players voting and keeping.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Again, this is not a Dak thing. I'm not saying
Dak's worth the money that he got. I will say this.
In the NFL, the most important player on your team
is quarterback. They don't have a better option than Dak
right now. So that's why they had to pay him.
That's why they should have paid him a year before.
And it saved themselves a little bit of money. Yes,
and they could have done that too, but they didn't. Yeah,
but but that that goes to show. It's proof that
(09:55):
Jerry wants to pay his guys. And he tried to
get Mike assigned and Mike is like, well, yeah, I'm
good with this. They basically had a verbal agreement, and
then Micah's agent goes, no, you don't, We're not doing
it this way. And keep in mind, Micah said last
year he would happily take less. He said he doesn't
need that amount of money. Until this all started, all
(10:18):
of a sudden, he does need this amount of money.
And then he starts acting like an emo baby on
the sidelines and during a training camp, and I'm sure
that pissed off the team, and as a fan, that
annoyed me, like, it's not my money. But if you
think you're worth a certain dollar amount that you are
demanding and commanding, then you need to act like it
(10:39):
instead of acting like a baby on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
But I also think his stats prior to that gave
him that value, so he can't he can't act like
an emo baby when he's also being devalued by the
guy who said.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Then don't be on the sidelines. If that's going to
be your attitude, just hold out and go bye bye
until something has happened. Don't go to training camp, don't
go to the games and be a distraction the kid
on the sideline.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
But then you would complain about that, like, look at it,
look at him, How disrespectful is that. There's all that.
Now I've seen people's posts were like, well, you know
he's got back issues, so let him go.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
He does not have back issues. You see the video
of him dancing around his living room at the announcement
of him being traded and being signed.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, everybody everybody has their like if they would have
signed him, the conversation would be different, but they didn't,
So another conversation everybody's trying to find the faults in
him and not the fact that Trey's right, Jerry Jones,
you need to put the emphasis on his guys. He
doesn't want to pay all he wants to pay in
(11:44):
his head who he thinks is going to take him
back to those glory days and was.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
One of his guys until it switched.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
But the probably with Dak, Jerry so wants the validation
that he's a football guy and he wants people to
know that he took that what was Dack a third
round pick or fourth round pick?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Fourth?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, he wants that, you know, He's like, he wants
that recognition that, oh I saw that, I saw what
no one else saw. He's never gonna get it he
everyone else saw what what he actually got.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Now, if the Packers win the Super Bowl, I'll laugh
my butt off.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
If the Packers win the Super Bowl, it's not going
to be single handedly at the hands of Micah, because
a Parsons, a Micah Parsons less Packers beat the ever
loving crap out of the Cowboys in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying the irony
would be if he gets traded the Packers and they
win a ring. Oh my, I mean nobody. I mean,
if the.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Packers win the Super Bowl, it's going to because it's
going to be because their quarterback did some amazing things
with help of Micah Parsons.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah, I mean Jerry would have to jump off the
high five. He would have to, he would have to
end it. He would never be able to live it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Down Ross here's the thing. He wouldn't jump. You might
get shoved. You're in the tree House.

(14:19):
Trey in EU raj is this the list of places
that women refuse to go on a first date? Has
gone viral again. It was originally shared in twenty twenty three.
The post sparked wide debate over dating expectations and effort,
and its reappearances once again fueling conversation across social media.
(14:43):
The list of absolute knows from women for first dates,
and some of these might surprise you. For example, sporting
events came in at number twenty eight, number twenty seven,
waffle house twenty six. A bar just for drinks draws
(15:05):
a hard no from women, number twenty five, A hookah bar, nightclubs,
bowling at twenty three. Women say no to bowling now
far High State. Yeah, I feel like that's location specific.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Not in Cleveland. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
For fact, I feel like like a tornado alley would
absolutely be fine with a bowling alley. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Yeah, Texas.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I also think that the bowling thing would probably be
more venue specific, because like in Dallas there are a
couple of nice places you can go bowling that I mean,
they're like.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You take a first date to Penstack, You're going to
be just fine. Yeah, No, number twenty two somewhere that
requires a long drive. Well, you're not going to get
that with Raj anyway or Tray for that. I mean,
Trey will drive for a date. You've done that, You
did that last year. You met someone like pretty far
out for a date. Raj, that's a hard note for you.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Well, I'll drive. I just when I get there, they're
better be parking, but I'll drive right back. I love driving.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I mean, yeah, that's a really so driving to a
date one thing. I would never on a first date
go somewhere that requires a long drive because if they
get on my nerves in the car on the get go, man,
that's going to be a bad date and you're stuck
in a car with them for like an hour.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, but you can also do this. If it's that bad,
you can stop midway and be like, here's fifty bucks
for an uber. Yeah, I'm going the rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You can pull a Tony Romo.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah you can. You can stop it right there.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Number twenty two movie night like Netflix, Hulu, et cetera.
So going to a movie I guess so far in
this list they're still okay with but not at home
Netflix and Hulu. Number twenty family functions. That's a hard
pass for a first date, to be honest, that's one
of the ones I agree with him. I don't know
why for a first date you'd want to do that.
(17:11):
For a family function, I think you're really pretty. Do
you want to go to my godchild Christening? Ice Cream
dates at nineteen? Coffee dates at eighteen? Starbucks is seventeen.
Somehow that's different than coffee dates. So you know women
made this list. I'm going to get there more option
(17:33):
on that list.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
There's more options on Starbucks, right, there's like lattes and
stuff that, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Snacks and such. A church? Okay, you met at church.
Do not do church for a first date.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
If I show up with a chick a church. Do
you know she's hot because I'm Hindu? Yeah, if I'm
like he is my savior, she is hot? Who like
so smoking hot? We're all gonna question of whether or
not you made a deal with the devil, Yes, and
I would have. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Fifteen women say absolutely not to a first date at.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
The gym, Oh good, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Fourteen Denny's thirteen I hop. I don't know why those
are somehow worse than waffle House as far as the
ranking is concerned, but there they are, next to each other.
A buffet at number twelve. Number eleven, Red Lobster draws
a hard pass from ladies on a first date. Now
we're into the top ten. Okay, quickside thing though, If
(18:41):
you want to date my mom, she is single, and
you can take her to Red Lobster. She loves it.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I love a woman that likes a cheddar biscuit.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
What about one that loves all the cheddar biscuits like
own basket kind of thing? And who can blame her?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Here we go the top ten of the places that
women absolutely refuse to go on a first date, as
originally posted in twenty twenty three that has now gone ReViral.
Number ten, Wingstop, number nine, Buffalo Wild Wings really anti
wings here? Number eight any fast food chain. Again, there's
(19:19):
some get I get all those, yeah, but any fast
food chain really just kind of took away half the list.
I've already said, so that this list really could have
been like six or seven as opposed to twenty eight.
Number seven, your house. They don't want a first date
at your house. Okay, someplace in public. I get that.
The movies there it is. Apparently the movies is no
(19:41):
longer first date material. Now we're into the top five.
You remember how any fast food chain was number eight.
The top five is full of fast food chains that
women refuse to go on a first date. Number five,
Olive Garden number four, Chipotle number three, Chili's number two,
apple Bee's number one. What do you think the chain
(20:05):
restaurant of choice is for women to say absolutely not
on a first date.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You hit home like Applebe's, Chilis. You hit those, So
that's what I would have guessed.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
There's a big one along with a big, big menu.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Cheesecake factory.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Cheesecake factory.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, there you go, cheesecake factory. Number one place when
women refuse to go on a first date. So now
that those are the twenty eight places they won't go,
good luck finding one they will go.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I mean, the lady that I'm seeing, we just kind
of we just did. The first date was at her place.
We watched the new episodes of South Park and yeah,
just kind of hung out. So the home thing, I
don't know that was her idea.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
That sounds to me. But you guys already went out one,
so that's more of a second.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
No, different, different, different lady.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I haven't gone out with Oh oh, and we're already
saying we're seeing her.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yes, Oh what happened to the Russian?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
He was very lovely. We had a very nice dinner.
She's just not really my type. She wanted to go
out for cigars afterwards, and I'm like, and I'm out,
so okay, but I'm like, that's what that was a
very Russian thing. I'm like, are we going to an
underground poker room? Like where are you taking me?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yes? But no, we had we had a nice we
had It's very brave of you to decline a second
date with a woman.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I did it in public so she couldn't kill me there.
Uh no. So it was a very nice dinner and
we had some lovely conversation of a lovely hug. When
she's like, do you want to go with me to
the cigar bar here in Madison And I'm like, I will.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
No, Okay, So for the girl that you now claim
you are seeing, it was her idea to come over
and watch South Park ye for me to come to
her place and on a first date. Yeah, okay, but
that's I guess that's different because it was her idea. Now,
had you proposed that she might who knows?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Maybe so yeah, maybe that Maybe that would sound creepy,
but wow.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
That's a groundbreaking concept if she thinks of it. It's okay.

because I have a lot to throw out right here.
All right, here we go, Frankin Bunnies, zombie squirrels, mutant deer,
and now the first human case of the flesh eating
(23:32):
parasite New World screwworm has been detected in the United States.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say,
the apocalypse won't announce itself, but there will be signs.
And I think we have our first handful. Is there
any doubt that we are in the end times now?
(23:54):
It's just a matter of when the final thing drops?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
This is there a sort of how Dan starts a cult?
The end Times are opponents.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
My friends. I'm just in the corner over here, mixing
kool Aid.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
It wasn't even it was flavoring. That's the worst part
about that.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
It was knocked off kool Aid.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
It was it was generic kool Aid.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh no, God, I don't know if I'm going out,
I'm not going out on dollar store kool Aid.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
That's just.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
The icy pops taken.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Like, I don't know if I'm making you drink Colt juice,
it's gonna be name brand stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
See. And that's why I would join. I like, I
want to be in a boogie cult.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I mean, look, it's it's sure, it's deadly, but it
is delicious.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah. Dan's cult is a little bit below scientology. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Mine actually will be the kool Aid cult. I will
smash my way through your living room wall and give
you all the reasons why the end times are here,
and you can take a sip out of me. Oh yeah, yeah,
have a sip of back Colt juice, which, by the way,
part of our cult before we do this is going
(25:14):
to be making and branding Colt juice and selling it.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
It's so it sounds so hipsteristal if you made that
a vodka right now, it would fly off the shelves.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'd buy it. Like sorry, sorry, snoop, eat your heart
out with nineteen crimes. I'm pumping out some Colt juice.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
We should start this even making it up.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I mean, the Bible has their signs of the apocalypse,
but even the guys that wrote the Bible didn't think
of Frankin Bunny's deer, Bambi, herpes, zombie squirrels, and now
the flesh eating bacteria called the New World screwworm.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, that just sounds like a hip hop group, New
World Screworm or I think more emo, more emo.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Okay, Uh yeah, I got I could see that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
The larva of the New World screw worm fly can
devastate cattle herds and is rife in parts of Central America. See,
that's part of the reason why some of the immigrants
are coming here. They're like, screw worm, We're coming to you.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
What what what?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I have no idea I got. I got stuck somewhere
in Central America and Asia Central and and and and
both were horrific at defensive. And so I'm saying like
it started sort of like Guatemalan and it ended somewhere
like Far East Age and it was just all bad. Anyway,
(26:50):
The first human case of the flesh eating parasite New
World screwworm has been detected in the United States. That's
according to the Department of Health and Human Services, which
I find fascinating. Usually it's the CDC that announces these things,
but because a bunch of them have been fired or
resigned and there's distrust in the CDC from the COVID era,
that now HHS is saddled with announcing these things because
(27:11):
maybe people will believe it more. If we get to
the point where the Secretary of State is pushing vaccines,
you know we've hit a new low. But as it is,
this case involves a person who had recently traveled to
El Salvador, was confirmed to be screw worm by the
CDC and the Maryland Health Department. They said in a
(27:32):
statement that the resident had recovered from the infection and
the investigation confirmed there is no indication of transmission to
any other individuals or animals, which census is coming from
a government agency, there absolutely is. We're all going to die.
By the way, you have a quota on filling your
number of bottles of cult juice today, so get at it.
They also say this is the first human case of
(27:53):
travel associated New World screw worm biases from an outbreak
affected country identified in the United States. The risk of
public health in the United States from this introduction is
very low. Okay, sure, Jan, nothing to see here. You're fine.
(28:16):
You're not going to be eaten by a screw worm. Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
So is it a worm or is it an infection?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'm it sounds like it can be both. It's fly larva,
So maybe fly lerva gets in you and then it
turns into a screw worm and then eat you maybe
from the inside out.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
But then what wouldn't fly larva turn into a fly
I don't know how that would still be a worm
just scientifically. But oh am I I'm not at the CDC,
but yeah, I mean that would be that would be
hard to at your funeral, Like, well, was it the cancer?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Oh? Was it his die? No?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Here, I don't know why that has anything to do
with this. Okay, screw worms, But well, what did he
die of?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I knew he was int the weird stuff, but what
killed him?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Told him to stay out of neck and fight club.

to the Treehouse Show and let's grow. In the last
week or so, we have mentioned one of our favorite
comedies of all time, Airplane, and that movie came out
all the way back in nineteen eighty and it is
a classic. We may disagree on the Cowboys trading Michael
(30:27):
Parsons and certain details of that, but we all agree
that airplane is a classic comedy. Now, Collider dot com thought,
you know what, let's all get together, put our big
brains in one pile and come up with the ten
funniest movies of the past fifty years.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Oh interesting? Okay?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah? So are these the ten funniest movies of the
last fifty years? Collider dot com thinks, so, I'm curious
to know what you think. Number ten came out in
two thousand and four, Anchor Man, The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
Do you think that is a top ten comedy over
(31:12):
the last fifty years?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Okay, all right. Number nine, A Fish called Wanda Jami
Curtis came out nineteen eighty eight. Line. I will admit
I have seen it, but it's been a very long time,
and I don't remember a whole lot about it. And
I think I was a kid, so don't I didn't
really get a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I think John Cleese was in that as well.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yep, I need that's one I need to watch. I'd say, rewatch,
but I don't necessarily think it should count when I
watched it when I was like, you know, eight, But
you guys agree, Fish called Wanda would be a top
ten over the last fifty years. Okay, number eight in
two thousand and seven, super Bad. No, I'm with you there.
(31:59):
I liked the movie, but I don't think I would
put it in the top ten funniest movies over the
last fifty years. No, No, number seven. I don't take
any fault with this, kind of like the Mica trade.
I don't have a problem with its inclusion in the
top ten from nineteen seventy nine, The Life of Brian.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Oh, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I'm sorry. Just seeing the title it makes me laugh.
I mean, just seeing the title of a movie making
me laugh says a lot about the movie. Yeah, and
just that opening scene, just open up, the shutters scene,
all the way to the end, everyone on the crosses
singing about life, looking on the bright side of life.
(32:47):
That's like twenty dudes are crucified. Oh okay, all right,
Number six, nineteen ninety four Clerks.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Oh, it was good. I'd put in the top twenty. Yeah,
I wouldn't put it in the top ten.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I might. It'd be difficult to make a list like this.
I will admit that, because there were some very funny
movies over the last fifty years, and Clerks was very
different at the time. You were talking about a movie
that was made for like a thousand bucks. Yeah, and
it has some classic lines, not the least of which
is his girlfriend and the things that she did thirty
seven times in a row. Number five, Here we go.
(33:35):
Top five funniest movies over the last fifty years, according
to Collider dot com. Nineteen ninety eight's The Big Lebowski.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I mean a cult classic, brilliant movie. I don't know
about top ten comedy. I agree.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I love that movie. I would not slap it in
the top ten. Yeah, funniest films in the last fifty years.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I would kind of lump that in with Clerks of
if you were doing cultural, yeah, impactful, you know. Yeah,
but top ten funniest No.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Number four from twenty eleven Bridesmaids. I will say it
was certainly toilet humor. But yeah, of movies in the
last fifty years, the scene where they all have food
poisoning is among one of the like the hardest laughing
(34:25):
sessions I've had with a film. And I realized it's
completely low hanging fruit. It's toilet humor and everything. But
I'm sorry when when she wouldn't Melissa McCarthy, even though
she's polarizing, says it's coming out like hot lof I
just lost it. That was a great scene.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, but I don't think that qualifies the movie into
the top five.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Number three, I think Trey is going to be okay
with this one. Nineteen ninety six is the Bird Cage.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Again. That's when I need to go back and rewatch
because that that was a movie. I laughed hard. I mean,
Gene Hackman playing off of just over the top Nathan Lady.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yes, but Hank Khazaria steals that movie.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Oh absolutely, yeah, he's so good.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
The whole movie's so good.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
He steals that movie.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And they did a really good job casting the couple
that brings these two families together, because I can kind
of remember the guy's face. I don't even remember the girl.
And they should be forgettable because you don't want them
taking away from.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
The star power of the parents on both don't remember
Calista Flockhart, that's who it was.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yes, okay, he was a little forgettable and it was fine.
Number two nineteen eighty four's this is Spinal Tap.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Oh for sure, Absolutely, yeah, I agree. I wouldn't put
it at number two. Yeah, I put it in the
top ten. It'd probably be eight for me. But I
do believe they're making Spinal Tap two.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yes they are, and I.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Don't know if they should, but I will go. I
will see it, but because I mean, all the all
the cast is still around, so I will still watch it.
But Spinal Tap great movie.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I am with you. I know I've seen that movie,
but it was an extremely long time ago. I need
to I need to write down my list of the
films that I need to watch slash rewatch because it's
been so long, and Spinal Tap is one of them. Yeah,
and it is one of the most quoted movies of
all time. Would just then turn it up to eleven
and the level will say that and have no idea
(36:39):
of its origin, right, I've seen that.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I've seen like young kids like turn up to eleven
and I'm like, you don't know where that came.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
That gave no fing clue where that came from? Do you?
Number one, According to Collider dot com, the funniest movie
of the last fifty years is Airplane.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yes, I mean, you know, we left out a lot
of I mean, I can't believe nothing from No Brooks
really made it into Blazing Saddles Blazing History of the World.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I'm with you the fact that that's not on there.
I mean, I like, look, i'd love Spaceballs. I wouldn't
put it in the top ten. It might be the
top ten in my heart, yes, but no Blazing Saddles. Honestly,
if you had Blazing Saddles and Airplane one and two
in either order, right, I don't think anyone would be
(37:37):
mad about it. But the fact that Collider dot com
and did not include it is such such a just
it it affects the credibility of the list.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
An Airplane two was actually really good as well. Like,
people don't realize that William Shatner killed me in that movie.
It's just the biggest it was playing William Shatner was him.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Well, look, I mean, if we're being honest, if you're
going to make a list of the top ten funniest
films over the last fifty years and you don't include
Blazing Saddles, your credibility is in question. Also, if you
can't bother to include at least one Police Academy, I'm
looking at you, sideways.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I never found those movies funny and GW. Bailey was
one of my professors in college, and I never had
the ard to tell them I don't find any of
those funny. I thought Michael Winslow was great because I
like the sound effect thing. That's pretty cool. And if
you ever go to lunch with them, he does it.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Any glaring omissions from the list tray for you, I.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Would have put Old School and or Animal House.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Oh yeah. I wonder if they were trying to go
like a politically politically correct route they.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Had to, because if that's the case, then that would
explain why Blazing Saddles and Animal House are not on
the list. Same could be said for Fast Times at
Ridgemont High.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Oh yeah, for sure. Uh you know, and then like
the top ten, I don't know what's out for me.
I mean, Monty Python's a holy grail. I don't know
how long that didn't make it same.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
I'm right there with you, Yeah, mel Brooks, Monty Python,
holy grail, Come on, man.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Now they may not have intended it to be funny,
but if you go and you watch American Ninja four,
you don't laugh.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
The annihilation.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
You're listening to the Treehouse visit us online a Treehouse
on air dot com.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
You're in the treehouse US online, a Treehouse on air
dot Com.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Today is September first, twenty twenty five. Hope you're having
an outstanding labor day and we're going to celebrate with
some birthdays. September first birthday babies. Zindaiya, Zandia whatever. Zindeia
is twenty eight years old today. She is whatever, however
(40:29):
you say her name, and the Dune movies, the New
Dune movies. She's also Rue Bennett on HBO's Euphoria and
Michelle Jones mj in the New Spider Man movies. In
the MCU quick question, I've either of you seen the
New Dune movie with Zendia and Timothy Sallame.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
It's part one. I have not seen part two.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I've seen both. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I mean, it's star studded cast, there's no doubt. I guess.
I just I don't. I don't for some reason that movie,
with the premise of it, even though it's very it's
kind of similar to you, like Star Wars type stuff,
sci fi and all that, it just doesn't really pull
me in. Although I will say I am fascinated by
the arc of Timothy Chalameange's character where it's like he's
(41:16):
supposed to be a freedom fighter and he's out for
revenge because they killed his family, and then he basically
is going to turn into a really bad dude. That
part's interesting.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
I thought they did an excellent job with part one,
and like I just I don't know why I never
watched part two, just the.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Way I look at it. If you if you saw
part one, then you should absolutely see part Like if
you saw part one and you at least liked it,
then you should definitely see the second one. Other birthdays today,
let's see here JD Fortune. He won rock Star in
excess to replace the late Michael Hutchins as lead singer.
(41:56):
He is fifty two today. However, he's not been with
him since twenty eleven for vastly different reasons than Michael
Hutchins is no longer with them.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah, didn't they replaced him with because Michael Hutchinson has
a brother that looks just like him, and I.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Really that's yes. Now, did they not get him in
the first place?
Speaker 2 (42:15):
That was the whole thing. I'm sure it was like
we got this new reality show that we're going to
do and when you win, you can be the frontman
for in Access And he's like, uh, hello, I can
do that now.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Like he's in the front row and they're just looking
above him, like over his head, like anyone anyone in here.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Like, yeah, I believe it's I think they almost look similar.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Interesting. My still my my favorite though, as far as
replacing a lead singer in a band, My favorite story
is Steve Perry leaving Journey and then Journey finding its
new frontman had a karaoke bar in the Philippines. Dude
sounds just like Steve Perry.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
I found him on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, yeah, on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Arnell Perneda is his name, and the two bartenders at
the laugh Actory you're both Filipino. And then when he
got the gig they were it was like it was
like India won the World Cup. Like that's like like
that's how they acted like Philippine, Like can you believe it?
I was like, he's a karaoke singer. The best part
of what did they say is the greatest form of
(43:18):
flattery's imitation, right, And that's what it is. And I
would never go but I did like when they get
inducted in the Hall of Fames. Steve Perry didn't stand
up and walk on stage with them. He's still sat
in the front and then after they were done with
their speech, he went up and spoke, and I thought
that was classic because like, let him have his moment.
What was the what?
Speaker 1 (43:40):
What was what happened there?
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Steve Perry lost his voice?
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Okay, well he also had an he was good. They
wanted to go on tour. Steve was like, I don't
want to go yet, and everybody was fighting to go
on tour. So he was training because the front man
like just because of how much work you have to
do on stage. So he was like running near his
house and whole and he got to the top of
a hill and he couldn't move and he had to
have a hip replacement. They found it out later and
(44:07):
simultaneously with what Tray said, like he had to have
like vocal lessons and I think he had like pull
ups on his vocal cord or something like that. So
he's like, I'm gonna be out for another six months.
When when I'm done, we'll resume the tour. And the
band was like, you're fired, because they so jacked up Yeah,
they just wanted to go back out on the road
and make money. Well they found this kid.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
I think, I think, because I don't think he's still
like I think it was I might be able to
sing again. And they were like, yeah, sorry, we're not
waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
And I don't know how long of a time frame
it was from when they fired Steve Perry when they
got the Filipino YouTuber. But it wasn't immediate like it
it took some time.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Anyway, that's just such a fascinating story. Just to have
greed takeover that much. It's like, but sucks for you, Steve.
We're gonna We're just gonna find some somebody and keep
on going.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
The best part of it is he wrote the majority
of their songs, so when they go out and perform,
like I think it's him, one other guy that writes
the songs for it, Like he still gets paid. Yeah,
so he's like when they went up there to accept
the award, you know, the deduction of the Hall of Fame,
you could have seen the smile on his face, like Graskins,
(45:19):
he should have.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Said thank you. In Filipino, you're listening to.

All right, we have just a couple of minutes left
for the show today, Tray, is there any more taking
to task you would like to do to me over
(46:12):
the Micah Parsons trade away from the Cowboys to the Packers. Again,
let me just reiterate, I don't love the trade. I
don't love the situation, but based on what happened, I
can live with what they got for him.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
Then, like I told you, I'm gonna save a chair
for you when you're when you're ready to quit your
addiction you have, there's a spot spot for you.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
At Cowboys Anonymous.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
I'll be your sponsor.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Can it can be next to the coffee and the
donuts so I can just kind of reach over and
just absolutely plenty.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
If you can call me anytime day or night, and
I'll explain to you what happened during the game.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
I don't feel like that's a good sponsor.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I just don't want you to relapse to nineteen ninety
six or nineteen ninety three. They actually won a championship.
I don't want you to revert back to then.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
I will say this, I was thinking that my my
worst nightmare was going to be that if Micah left
and whatever was that he would have tried everything within
his power and his agent's power to land in Washington
to be reunited with what's his nuts. And you're talking
(47:33):
about a team that's just that just came off of
going to the NFC title game and then acquiring Micah.
I thought, oh man, that would be that would be
an ideal situation. I would think if you're Micah. But
instead they shipped him off to Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
Yeah. I don't think there was any chance Jerry was
going to trade him in conference in divisions.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Yeah no, although it's Jerry, you never know. Yeah, I
mean maybe if he called, like if he quick hypothetical.
I usually hate these in sports stock but whatever, I'll
do this one. If Okay, so we get the Cowboys
get two first rounders and a Pro Bowl defensive tackle
(48:14):
for micro Parsons. That's what they get from Green Bay.
Would you have been okay with sending Micah to Washington
if you got three first round picks.
Speaker 3 (48:25):
Yes, I would have been fine sending them anywhere. The
Cowboys are gonna suck regardless.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
So it just doesn't matter where for how much.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
No, Yeah, I'll take the more of the picks, but
as long as that, as long as they have that
d contract. I mean, here's how I messed up the
that contract is most quarterback contracts, you're the highest paid
quarterback for less than a year because there's always some more.
They'll do a dollar more DAK. A year later, it's
still the highest paid quarterback.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Yeah. And and thank you to Jerry Jones for inventing
the salary cap.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
An idiot, the architect of his destruction.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
That's right, just because you can make it doesn't mean
you can operate it.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
Yeah, he's he's neuro with the nets.
Speaker 3 (49:09):
And I will always contend the start where Jerry starts off,
and it absolutely he you're basically you're one or year
two of the salary cap completely screws the team and
everything else. When he signed Don Sanders. Yeah, because you
could have signed a lot of core players instead of
that contract.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
And Roger, you said, Jerry's, Jerry's what Jerry's He's near
Nero with his fiddle.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
You know, he's just watching Rome Burn.
Speaker 1 (49:36):
Eventually he looks around and goes, ah, Welcome to the
world of cowboys fans, Jerry for all things Treehouse, go
to Treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 3 (49:55):
Yes, I did think of one, or actually two movies
that really got should have been on that list. The
top ten. Dumb and Dumber.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Interestingly, a scene that would compete with how hard I
laughed at the diarrhea scene in Bride'smaids would certainly be
Jeff Daniels diarrhea scene in Dumb and Dumber and.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
Dan I'm surprised you didn't catch this one. Either Vacation
or Christmas Vacation.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Oh no, I'm with you. They might be in my
top ten, and Christmas Vacation is in my top ten,
but I don't expect everyone else to agree with that one.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
Then you have to go with Fletch. I do love Fletch.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
I even like Fletch Lives.
Speaker 6 (50:39):
No, you need to end this show now, I mean,
come on, it had Randall text Cobb and jail, wearing makeup,
saying he was in jail for molesting a dead horse.
Speaker 1 (51:01):
