It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Thank you for hanging out
with us today. Iowa teen died during a hunting trip
after being mistaken for a squirrel and Iowa teen died
(01:09):
during a hunting trip after being mistaken for a squirrel. Now, look,
we are not a true crime We are not a
true crime podcast, but this sounds a lot like murder.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Did they not tell Billy to take off the squirrel hat?
I mean, you bring up an excellent point.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
How do you mistake a seventeen year old human for
a squirrel? Answer is you don't.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
A bunch of my fraternity brothers, a bunch of my
friends grown up. They're all hunters. I've never been hunting
in my life. I hear there's a lot of drinking
that is involved.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yes, No, it depends on what type of hunting, bird hunting, Yes,
usually there is.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
What about people hunting? Is is alcohol popular among people hunting?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
How small was this kid?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I saw a photo of him. He's a normal size
seventeen year old. So that's a great follow up question
to ask Raj.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, I've my friends have gone deer hunting. They go
every year, they have the deer lease. The big thing
is the they do a little bonfire or fire pit
and everybody gets hammered. And I've been invited multiple times.
I pass every single time. But that the deer hunting,
dove hunting, dove hunting.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Is absolutely you know, because you're yeah, you start drinking
because usually, you know a lot of times you do
two a day, and especially in the afternoon hunt, you're
cracking some beers. Deer hunting the bonfire like, yeah, you're
gonna like people drink the night before, but then you
up at four am getting into a deer blind and
(03:04):
so typically I don't want to be over.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
But yeah, I don't want to be in a deer
blind blackout drunk. That's when Timmy looks like a squirrel.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
And Trey's right.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It depends on the hunting that you're doing, the type
of drinking that you might be doing. Tray's right with
dove hunting. And again I've never done it, but from
what I've seen and what I've been told by numerous
experienced hunters, dove hunting is very much drink and shoot.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
If you choose deer hunting.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Like Trey said, you might enjoy yourself the afternoon to
the early evening the night before.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Then you go night night early. That's why the drinking helps.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So you go to sleep before your normal bedtime, and
you wake up early and you're kind of hungover, and
you sit in a nice dark covered thing for a while,
and then you eventually shoot something.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Maybe. Yeah, that's a deer hunting.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah. For bird hunting, let me pitt you this way.
Bird hunting, they make accessories you can put on your
belt and vest for holding beers.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Wow, look at it this way.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
If you ever played duck Hunt drunk on Nintendo, you're
right there, ready to go out into the wild.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You were a badass twelve year old bro.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
When did the problem start?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Dan Early?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I see that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
No, I've never been hunting. I can't even imagine how
that would happen. But it sounds like there was some
I'm guessing alcohol or something involved with this.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
We don't know, don't have details on that, but I
will say this, Hollywood taught us a valuable lesson years
ago in the movie Hot Shots, when the beginning of
the movie started with a actor slash comedian by the
name of Ryan Styles who grew to some notoriety.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Thinks to whose line is it? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And he played a fighter pilot that gets shot down
and he has to survive, and part of the way
he does that is by blending in and which point
he puts deer antlers on his fighter pilot helmet and
then he eventually gets shot by hunters.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, and I've I've been to Iowa. I do know
they drink a lot. It's a lot of bush don't
Bush Light is like the beer of choice and a
lot of whiskey. So I think this kid all victim
to mistaken identity.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh no, there's there's certainly some mistaken identity. That part
has been confirmed. I mean, when a seventeen year old
dies during a hunting trip, because where it is he
was mistaken for a squirrel. That part we know mistaken identity.
What we don't know is the reason why, because, like
I said, it seems very suspicious to have a seventeen
(06:00):
year old human confused with a teeny tiny squirrel unless
and hear me out on this, remember teen Wolf, what if.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Teen squirrel?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
I mean that would explain this scenario.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Do you know how many great movies we have come
up with on this show. I would watch teen Squirrel tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Well, how that actually could be?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That that actually could be part of the franchise RAJ
Teen Squirrel of Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Do you remember a show called Manimal, Half man, half animal.
Manimal he could transform into a big cat hawk and
I forgot what the third one is.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
It was.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It was kind of the Wonder Twins of eighties TV.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
He didn't have to activate, he just did it on
his own.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean, you're right, Manimal was a magical masterpiece
of a television show.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Art man, part animal and all entertainment.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, or was this guy? You know? I think the
story behind this has got to be interesting because yo,
what was he banging? The shooter's girlfriend? And he was like, hey, buddy,
let's go hunting.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Uh huh, put on the.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Squirrel hat so I know where you are.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And he's seventeen years old. So he's like, hey, you
know what's squirrel seats? And he's like, yeah, all right,
let's go. Yeah, there's no squirrel season, that's every day.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't think the state cares about the squirrel population
and regulating it the way it does deer or you know,
other game.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Typically, most states frown upon a shooting other people, though.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Sometimes has has anybody been charged with anything? Or is
this still ongoing?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
It's still an ongoing investigation.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Was this guy's last name Cheney?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I need to check on the name, not only of
the victim, but of the shooter. Yeah, I will say this,
this part would be an interesting piece of evidence for
the investigation. What caliber of rifle was used to kill
this seventeen year old by accident? Because if you're hunting squirrel,
(08:47):
you really shouldn't be using anything more than a twenty two,
and killing a human with a twenty two caliber is
kind of hard.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
If if you're hunting squirrel with a rifle, you were
not hunting squirrel because hunting squirrel was a shotgun, not
a rifle.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You're hunting a seventeen year old.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yeah, I got my squirrel blaster.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
If I put this on and run, that's what that is.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, if a thirty six was involved, otherwise known as
like an elephant gun, you were not not hunting squirrel.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
That's my point.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And then I guarantee you any investigator worth his weight
is going to say what caliber weapon was used to shoot.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
This poor kid? Because if it's anything more than a
twenty two, we have severe questions.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
If a rifle or handgun were was involved, Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Can't you kill a scroll with a baby gun?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Well placed, It depends on the pressure. I will say
it's maybe not a pellet gun with CO two. It
is possible. I say that because there were kids that
did a drive by when I was in high school.
So some guys did a drive by at a band party.
There's a band party and people were outside on the
(10:17):
front yard and they drove by and fired with a
CO two powered pellet gun and it penetrated a kid
enough to where it collapsed as lung. So if you
can do that to a human that could probably kill
a squirrel.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Actually, the thing about squirrels is they're almost all muscle,
so you might make it, you know, WinCE, but you're
not going to probably kill one. I mean, you've got
a lot less flesh and muscle getting into between your ribs.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Then you know, it's bad enough that the kid from
it's bad enough that the band kid got shot, but
the call out his lack of muscular chure is really
just insulting.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, because now we know he's not the tuba player.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Hold that thing up, I mean to point out the
fleshy piccolo player.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
That's a French horn pussy right there.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
That's such a blaming.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
You're in the Treehouse.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
If it had been one of those flag people, they
would have killed them.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Eight three three Cook d f W. That's one of
my favorite phone numbers. That's the one I called to
pester Daniel and Carrie Cook whenever I feel like it,
and you can do that as well. They absolutely love it,
especially if you didn't get the last If you didn't
get last night's lotto numbers, they'll tell you that to
eight three three Cook DFW they'd prefer to come out
and check your roof, check your property to see if
(12:01):
there's anything in need, and they'll be honest with you
about it. Eight three three Cook DW.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Daniel.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Do you play the lottery?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Honestly?
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Not really, no, very rarely buy a ticket here and
there when they get really big pots, But no, we're
not a very big gambling family in general at all.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
You just love climbing on roofs and helping people.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
That's it, I mean, And you wake up every morning
you go, where can I go climb today?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
For free?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
I wonder how good of a rock climber I would be.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I've never done that.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You go find out and make sure Carrie's recording it.
Perhaps live streaming it would even be better in case
you fall. And I would start with one of those
I think they call it bouldering. It's where instead of
starting with a mountain, you just start with a really
big rock and see if you can climb that. If
you can climb that, then you can graduate to bigger
and bigger rocks.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I'm pretty confident in that though.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I think that would be kind of fun.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
At first, before going outside, I was thinking about those
rock walls or those wall climbing things.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, I think that's a great idea. I bet you're
part monkey. Well, now we got confirmation. Get this man
on your roof where he feels like he's in his
natural habitat eight three three Cook DFW or the website

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Come.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
There is a phrase so dangerous that I hesitate to
even say it out loud, but I'm going to.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Trey got to thinking.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I did. Doesn't happen often, but it did. So remember
last week we were talking about the uh potentially magical
crossover event of a new night Rider with Airwolf.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Mm hmm, I just got chills.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yes, gotta be thinking what what what crossovers were? We
denied that we deserved in our eighties and nineties TV.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Oh, I just got good.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I just got more chills, and I think my nipples
just got a little hard.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Because yeah, I mean, there's just all sorts of them
that we we we that should have happened. And I
don't know why the crossover thing, why why did it
take to the last twenty years they really started doing crossovers.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You know, that's a great point, because the crossover thing
really didn't start until like the two thousands, and even then,
a lot of times it was within show franchisees like
you get a Law and Order team up with a
Law and Order SVU, or you might get an n
CIS regular with an n CIS New Orleans team up
same CSI.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
All those things. Well, yeah, you're right, they could have
gone further.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
The only one I can think of was like, because technically,
was it nots Landing that was like related to Dallas. Yes,
like I remember occasionally you'd have that, or there was
Dynasty and the Carrington stuff like that. But yeah, you're right,
they were part of the same franchise basically, But.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
No, and then and then they had the one was
it Falcon Crust that nobody knew which one, like why
that one started?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah? Or shows that were spin offs like Liverin and
Shirley was a spin off of Happy Days.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Facts of Life was a spin off of Different Stroke.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Crazier was a spin off of Cheers.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, Uh, Joey's Like I would have liked to have
seen the Living Single Friends cross over so Latifa could
have just beat the shit out of all the white
people and gone, hey, you stole our show.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Yes, I personally would like to see the Bionic Golden Girls.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Oh there there. This really is a world of potential here,
one for action and excitement and two for some slap
stick and maybe some hijinks. For example, take two of
(16:41):
the great eighties car franchises. M take two of the
greatest eighties TV car TV show franchises, Dukes Have Hazard
a night Rider where something happens and they get switched,
like a freaky Friday type of thing, and all of
a sudden, Bow and Luke got to figure out how
to operate Kit.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Or it's funny you and I have the same notes,
or the general Lee can talk and it's like, you know,
the redneck cousin and that Kit is very condescending.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
It looks down on it, don't. We don't need racist
crime solving. It was the eighties.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
It was all acceptable acceptable in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, you don't want to call it also, don't want
to call it the Dukes of Knights, because I think
that it is an actual white supremacist group, you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Know what, You're right, maybe by today's standards they alter
it just a little bit. So instead, when Bowould Luke
get into what they think is the General Lee and
it turns out to be the personality of Kit from
Night Rider, now now the General Lee's god woke.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
They're not jumping into a car. That's I can promise you.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
That's one of the times they jump up the.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
That's when Lance and the other cousin shows up. Would Luke.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Generally it would have been like you know, cousin Eddie.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
So no, I love this idea that we take the
crossover thing and apply it to our nostalgia driven childhoods.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Like you mentioned the Golden Girls, Alf and the Golden Girls,
because you could have just had Alf and Estelle Getty
on a sofa just being snarky.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Honestly, that show would have worked. Honestly, not even from
an absurd point of view. That show would have worked.
They could have had alf do a guest appearance as
one of Rose's no, not Rose as one of Blanche's dates,
and it would have worked.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I'm just saying, uh, if Estelle, Geddy and and Alpha
on the couch, I want this on late night Cinemax.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
And that's how Furriedom was born.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, my imagination is running wild on this.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh yeah, another one. Fantasy Island, different strokes, two angry
little drunk people.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Stole my white people.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Oh my god, you're right, because that's one thing the eighties.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It was like a rule in seventies and eighties television
you couldn't have more than one little person on a
show at a time. So you had Gary Coleman on
his and you had what's his name on Fantasy Island.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
They were not allowed to be in the same scene
at the same time.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, yeah, you had.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
And then you had Emmanuel Lewis who was on Webster Right,
So I would like to see your point.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It stands to reason that Emmanuel Lewis and Gary Coleman's
character would have cross pads in the foster system.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I just want to know how bad Gary Coleman felt
that he wasn't the one that Michael Jackson was carrying.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
The one time in his life. He was too big.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
But I would like to see a different Webster, like
different Strokes and Webster combined. And it's just and just
just a TV show with those two, just a man
and You'll lose and Gary Coleman and a fight to
the death.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
That's the season finale.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I got Gary Coleman all day long, not if there's
a coffee table in that ring.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Or a flight stairs or possibly his wife.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Has anybody checked on Emmanuel Lewis? What happened to that guy?
Speaker 5 (20:54):
He's hard to find.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
The last time I saw him, he was he looked
as wide as he is tall.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
He's a perfect circle. Mm hmm. Oh.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
The only downside to this is my imagination is running sold.
I have all these shows in my head in almost
like a TV jumble, and I'm trying to pull and
put him together, which honestly would be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I mean, but could you do TV shows and movies
from the same genre, because that would kind of be cool.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I would have Blue Thunder and Airwolf. Air Wolf could
have just killed Blue Thunder as the cheap knockoff.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And it would have been quick, it would have it
would have been a short film.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So different strokes in Webster.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I was going to say Airwolf and Webster Webster finds
himself at the controls of air Wolf.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
You can't can't see the uh.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I mean, Dominic's gonna play a huge role in that show.
I mean, just imagine the hyjiks low jinks.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I think.

(24:12):
homecoming mums in high school? Oh yeah, remember how big
and gaudy they were? And we're talking for us twenty five,
thirty years ago. Well, uh, twenty twenty five has entered
the chat. These are the mums of today. Those are
(24:35):
not dresses that these young ladies from a North Texas
high school are wearing.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Those are the mums.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
If you look, not even that closely, but if you look,
you can see that the part that used to just
kinda be over one side.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Of the chest a little bit, the little mum.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Part has now found it self and some radioactive ooze
and grown exponentially. Some are now in the shape of hearts.
Some are circles, but they actually go wider than the
body of the girl wearing it. It looks like some
sort of freaky sandwich board display plus all the dangli
(25:18):
accoutrement that flow beneath it.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
This is insane.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I have to say this. The way they have the
faces blurred out. I first look, I thought, well, there's
a bunch of big frozze.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
No to self.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
It was like, is this the time Jackson?
Speaker 5 (25:42):
All right, no, no to self.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
The next time I blur out kids' faces in Canva,
don't use the blurry black spot.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Not at all too.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I was like, they are fresh, you know what.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I guess it oddly would work better if they were
all African American.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
It's like this act they can pull that off. Not
the white kids, though.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
It looks like they're going on the Diana Ross Show,
like that's this is from the seventies. I'm like, I
didn't know LaToya and Bibie were allowed.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I didn't even know.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Or something Chaer would have worn.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
She's our median, or or Liberai who knew he had
nine kids. He didn't know.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
No one was as shocked as he was.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
It was a different time.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You could also set this to like this looks like
something Elvis would wear, like in the later years. Yeah,
but that's I can't even imagine what that what that
would cost.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It is amazing to think about because I remember I
remember in high school going to Michaels and having to
pick out certain things. Because I don't know about you guys,
but when I was in high school at Lamar and Arlington,
the Michaels had the Lamar and Arlington High School, the
(27:14):
two schools in the general area had your colors and
all your trinkets and things that you go in and
buy and build it and do all the things. Now
this looks so elaborate, like you would have to have
your own store. Like this isn't even just like a
table at Michael's anymore. It's its own place.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I mean the base, I guess is what you would
call it.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
The thing that you dangle all the things from, is
like three feet wide.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And the things that they're dangling from it look like
the furry legs that Tom Hanks and dan Ackroyd wore
in Dragnet.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
They look like coats, yes, thick winter coats.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And this is this is hanging from them like they're
wearing clothing like normal clothes underneath this. This is just
what's on front, like in front of them. I mean,
they're all gonna have serious back issues when they're older
carrying these things around.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Tony Small had a store that would actually you would
just go in and place your order. You would pick
out what you wanted and they would make your mom
and it was ready I think either that day or
the next day, so you didn't have to like go
to you could you could go to Michael's and do
what you like what you guys did.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
But this.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
I don't even know where you would Uh. Is there
somebody that comes up behind like they used to do
for James Brown and just like just put put it
over you. When you're done dancing, when.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's time for a photograph, you get draped and then
when the photographs are over, they pull it off again
and you know, keep it safe.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Yeah, I still can't go. I still can't get over.
Oh why did you do it to that picture too? Dan?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Because these girls I don't know how old they are,
So when I changed the photo here, I need to
blur out their faces because I believe they're mostly underage,
So I can't just show there. Even though these are
photos that are circulating online. I'm not going to be
the responsible party of uh taking underage kids and putting
their faces on the show, because that's not the focus.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
The focus is the ridiculous month.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Yes, but but if you look in the background, nobody
else is wearing any of these.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well, in this photo, no one else is wearing them
because two of the people in the background are cheerleaders.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
And you can't.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
You cannot intentionally tumble with these with this type of
mum strapped to your chest.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Oh you'll tumble, for sure, It's just he'll be part
of the routine.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Yeah, that's why I said, Yeah, you cannot intentionally.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Yeah, wow, that is Uh, that's gotta be three four
hundred bucks pop easy.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I mean, I mean, look, things have progressed in the
years in the decade since we've been in high school.
I this looks like a parody. This is so ridiculous.
It looks like a spoo or something that would have
happened on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Like, yeah, it looks like what was the top secret?
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Yeah with Val Kilmer.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, the giant like post of the magnifying glass away
and his eyes a real big Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Did they Okay, do you ask the girl like, because
I just made the standard mom, you know, whatever went
on it? You know, football and what little trinkets and
footballs that went on it, and like we have those
theater masks as we're in theater. Do they ask these
girls like how, like what do you want on it?
And that's what they decided on.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
These guys just do it.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I think when you have a mom this large, what
you do is you just have your mom to make
one and then you find the girl that you like
and you just throw it on her and then she's
basically yours because there's no way she could take that
off herself.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
M Okay, sounds like an anchor.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, you will come to homecoming dance with me because
you have no other choice.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
These are girls just getting wheeled in uh huh.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Like you don't see it, but the girls on the
bottom row, they're not kneeling. They're in wheelchairs.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Make a wish, mums.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
And the girls in the back that appear to be
standing are actually propped up like mannequins.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I saw one in high school that actually was so
big it came with like an easel, and that girl
had to take it from class to class.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Everybody else's had the one that you know, would just
pin on your clothes. Yeah, and this poor girl and
everybody made fun of her. So I guess she was
ahead of her time.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
She was, she was a trailblazer.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
If she was in school now, she'd probably be homecoming queen.
But it's a difficult thing because once people raise that bar,
then it's difficult for everybody else. Because I remember in
high school the homecoming days. Go to the store, see
the moms. See how elaborate some were. Now granted, none
of them were like this were They're three feet across
(32:54):
and you know, anchoring, you know, teenage girls to the
gym floor. But you could tell the difference there were
the smaller ones, the medium, the large, extra large, but
they were.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
All pretty much within the same range.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Now for a poor kid like me, became a real
delicate balance to try to hit because it's like, Okay,
I like you, and I'm glad you're my homecoming date,
but I'm not loaded. My dad's not an anesthesiologist, so
I need to find a way to get you the
cheapest mom I can but still have some impact.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
They just threw glitter on a uh carnation.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
It was like, that's yours.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
That's it, not even a rose, just one small carnation.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
And one trinket sticking out of it that said school.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
And your jersey number. Cause you got to make it
about you for a little.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Bit, you know, well, I mean that's how I mean,
that's Isn't that the whole reason for the thing. It's
like you're you're claiming this person is yours, this is
my day, my number one.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah, in India, when we claim something is ours, you
wouldn't have married to that person. So that's not uh,
that's not homecoming, that's home wrecking.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
That could be.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Dan where your trinkets just really big helmets and pencils.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Just said Danny.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
First of all, Yes. Second of all, it said Danny's.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
He was on a budget, so it said Denny's.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
That's how I asked her out. I said, you are
my grand Slam Homecoming.

with us today. Iowa teen died during a hunting trip
after being mistaken for a squirrel and Iowa teen died
(01:09):
during a hunting trip after being mistaken for a squirrel. Now, look,
we are not a true crime We are not a
true crime podcast, but this sounds a lot like murder.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Did they not tell Billy to take off the squirrel hat?
I mean, you bring up an excellent point.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
How do you mistake a seventeen year old human for
a squirrel? Answer is you don't.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
A bunch of my fraternity brothers, a bunch of my
friends grown up. They're all hunters. I've never been hunting
in my life. I hear there's a lot of drinking
that is involved.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yes, No, it depends on what type of hunting, bird hunting, Yes,
usually there is.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
What about people hunting? Is is alcohol popular among people hunting?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
How small was this kid?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I saw a photo of him. He's a normal size
seventeen year old. So that's a great follow up question
to ask Raj.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, I've my friends have gone deer hunting. They go
every year, they have the deer lease. The big thing
is the they do a little bonfire or fire pit
and everybody gets hammered. And I've been invited multiple times.
I pass every single time. But that the deer hunting,
dove hunting, dove hunting.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Is absolutely you know, because you're yeah, you start drinking
because usually, you know a lot of times you do
two a day, and especially in the afternoon hunt, you're
cracking some beers. Deer hunting the bonfire like, yeah, you're
gonna like people drink the night before, but then you
up at four am getting into a deer blind and
(03:04):
so typically I don't want to be over.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
But yeah, I don't want to be in a deer
blind blackout drunk. That's when Timmy looks like a squirrel.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
And Trey's right.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It depends on the hunting that you're doing, the type
of drinking that you might be doing. Tray's right with
dove hunting. And again I've never done it, but from
what I've seen and what I've been told by numerous
experienced hunters, dove hunting is very much drink and shoot.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
If you choose deer hunting.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Like Trey said, you might enjoy yourself the afternoon to
the early evening the night before.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Then you go night night early. That's why the drinking helps.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So you go to sleep before your normal bedtime, and
you wake up early and you're kind of hungover, and
you sit in a nice dark covered thing for a while,
and then you eventually shoot something.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Maybe. Yeah, that's a deer hunting.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah. For bird hunting, let me pitt you this way.
Bird hunting, they make accessories you can put on your
belt and vest for holding beers.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Wow, look at it this way.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
If you ever played duck Hunt drunk on Nintendo, you're
right there, ready to go out into the wild.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You were a badass twelve year old bro.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
When did the problem start?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Dan Early?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I see that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
No, I've never been hunting. I can't even imagine how
that would happen. But it sounds like there was some
I'm guessing alcohol or something involved with this.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
We don't know, don't have details on that, but I
will say this, Hollywood taught us a valuable lesson years
ago in the movie Hot Shots, when the beginning of
the movie started with a actor slash comedian by the
name of Ryan Styles who grew to some notoriety.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Thinks to whose line is it? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And he played a fighter pilot that gets shot down
and he has to survive, and part of the way
he does that is by blending in and which point
he puts deer antlers on his fighter pilot helmet and
then he eventually gets shot by hunters.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, and I've I've been to Iowa. I do know
they drink a lot. It's a lot of bush don't
Bush Light is like the beer of choice and a
lot of whiskey. So I think this kid all victim
to mistaken identity.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh no, there's there's certainly some mistaken identity. That part
has been confirmed. I mean, when a seventeen year old
dies during a hunting trip, because where it is he
was mistaken for a squirrel. That part we know mistaken identity.
What we don't know is the reason why, because, like
I said, it seems very suspicious to have a seventeen
(06:00):
year old human confused with a teeny tiny squirrel unless
and hear me out on this, remember teen Wolf, what if.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Teen squirrel?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
I mean that would explain this scenario.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Do you know how many great movies we have come
up with on this show. I would watch teen Squirrel tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Well, how that actually could be?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That that actually could be part of the franchise RAJ
Teen Squirrel of Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Do you remember a show called Manimal, Half man, half animal.
Manimal he could transform into a big cat hawk and
I forgot what the third one is.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
It was.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It was kind of the Wonder Twins of eighties TV.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
He didn't have to activate, he just did it on
his own.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean, you're right, Manimal was a magical masterpiece
of a television show.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Art man, part animal and all entertainment.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, or was this guy? You know? I think the
story behind this has got to be interesting because yo,
what was he banging? The shooter's girlfriend? And he was like, hey, buddy,
let's go hunting.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Uh huh, put on the.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Squirrel hat so I know where you are.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And he's seventeen years old. So he's like, hey, you
know what's squirrel seats? And he's like, yeah, all right,
let's go. Yeah, there's no squirrel season, that's every day.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't think the state cares about the squirrel population
and regulating it the way it does deer or you know,
other game.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Typically, most states frown upon a shooting other people, though.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Sometimes has has anybody been charged with anything? Or is
this still ongoing?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
It's still an ongoing investigation.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Was this guy's last name Cheney?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I need to check on the name, not only of
the victim, but of the shooter. Yeah, I will say this,
this part would be an interesting piece of evidence for
the investigation. What caliber of rifle was used to kill
this seventeen year old by accident? Because if you're hunting squirrel,
(08:47):
you really shouldn't be using anything more than a twenty two,
and killing a human with a twenty two caliber is
kind of hard.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
If if you're hunting squirrel with a rifle, you were
not hunting squirrel because hunting squirrel was a shotgun, not
a rifle.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You're hunting a seventeen year old.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yeah, I got my squirrel blaster.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
If I put this on and run, that's what that is.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, if a thirty six was involved, otherwise known as
like an elephant gun, you were not not hunting squirrel.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
That's my point.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And then I guarantee you any investigator worth his weight
is going to say what caliber weapon was used to shoot.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
This poor kid? Because if it's anything more than a
twenty two, we have severe questions.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
If a rifle or handgun were was involved, Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Can't you kill a scroll with a baby gun?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Well placed, It depends on the pressure. I will say
it's maybe not a pellet gun with CO two. It
is possible. I say that because there were kids that
did a drive by when I was in high school.
So some guys did a drive by at a band party.
There's a band party and people were outside on the
(10:17):
front yard and they drove by and fired with a
CO two powered pellet gun and it penetrated a kid
enough to where it collapsed as lung. So if you
can do that to a human that could probably kill
a squirrel.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Actually, the thing about squirrels is they're almost all muscle,
so you might make it, you know, WinCE, but you're
not going to probably kill one. I mean, you've got
a lot less flesh and muscle getting into between your ribs.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Then you know, it's bad enough that the kid from
it's bad enough that the band kid got shot, but
the call out his lack of muscular chure is really
just insulting.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, because now we know he's not the tuba player.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Hold that thing up, I mean to point out the
fleshy piccolo player.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
That's a French horn pussy right there.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
That's such a blaming.

would have killed them.

Do you play the lottery?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Honestly?
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Not really, no, very rarely buy a ticket here and
there when they get really big pots, But no, we're
not a very big gambling family in general at all.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
You just love climbing on roofs and helping people.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
That's it, I mean, And you wake up every morning
you go, where can I go climb today?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
For free?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
I wonder how good of a rock climber I would be.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I've never done that.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You go find out and make sure Carrie's recording it.
Perhaps live streaming it would even be better in case
you fall. And I would start with one of those
I think they call it bouldering. It's where instead of
starting with a mountain, you just start with a really
big rock and see if you can climb that. If
you can climb that, then you can graduate to bigger
and bigger rocks.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I'm pretty confident in that though.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I think that would be kind of fun.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
At first, before going outside, I was thinking about those
rock walls or those wall climbing things.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, I think that's a great idea. I bet you're

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Come.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
There is a phrase so dangerous that I hesitate to
even say it out loud, but I'm going to.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Trey got to thinking.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I did. Doesn't happen often, but it did. So remember
last week we were talking about the uh potentially magical
crossover event of a new night Rider with Airwolf.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Mm hmm, I just got chills.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yes, gotta be thinking what what what crossovers were? We
denied that we deserved in our eighties and nineties TV.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Oh, I just got good.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I just got more chills, and I think my nipples
just got a little hard.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Because yeah, I mean, there's just all sorts of them
that we we we that should have happened. And I
don't know why the crossover thing, why why did it
take to the last twenty years they really started doing crossovers.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You know, that's a great point, because the crossover thing
really didn't start until like the two thousands, and even then,
a lot of times it was within show franchisees like
you get a Law and Order team up with a
Law and Order SVU, or you might get an n
CIS regular with an n CIS New Orleans team up
same CSI.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
All those things. Well, yeah, you're right, they could have
gone further.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
The only one I can think of was like, because technically,
was it nots Landing that was like related to Dallas. Yes,
like I remember occasionally you'd have that, or there was
Dynasty and the Carrington stuff like that. But yeah, you're right,
they were part of the same franchise basically, But.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
No, and then and then they had the one was
it Falcon Crust that nobody knew which one, like why
that one started?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah? Or shows that were spin offs like Liverin and
Shirley was a spin off of Happy Days.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Facts of Life was a spin off of Different Stroke.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Crazier was a spin off of Cheers.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, Uh, Joey's Like I would have liked to have
seen the Living Single Friends cross over so Latifa could
have just beat the shit out of all the white
people and gone, hey, you stole our show.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Yes, I personally would like to see the Bionic Golden Girls.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Oh there there. This really is a world of potential here,
one for action and excitement and two for some slap
stick and maybe some hijinks. For example, take two of
(16:41):
the great eighties car franchises. M take two of the
greatest eighties TV car TV show franchises, Dukes Have Hazard
a night Rider where something happens and they get switched,
like a freaky Friday type of thing, and all of
a sudden, Bow and Luke got to figure out how
to operate Kit.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Or it's funny you and I have the same notes,
or the general Lee can talk and it's like, you know,
the redneck cousin and that Kit is very condescending.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
It looks down on it, don't. We don't need racist
crime solving. It was the eighties.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
It was all acceptable acceptable in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, you don't want to call it also, don't want
to call it the Dukes of Knights, because I think
that it is an actual white supremacist group, you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Know what, You're right, maybe by today's standards they alter
it just a little bit. So instead, when Bowould Luke
get into what they think is the General Lee and
it turns out to be the personality of Kit from
Night Rider, now now the General Lee's god woke.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
They're not jumping into a car. That's I can promise you.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
That's one of the times they jump up the.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
That's when Lance and the other cousin shows up. Would Luke.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Generally it would have been like you know, cousin Eddie.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
So no, I love this idea that we take the
crossover thing and apply it to our nostalgia driven childhoods.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Like you mentioned the Golden Girls, Alf and the Golden Girls,
because you could have just had Alf and Estelle Getty
on a sofa just being snarky.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Honestly, that show would have worked. Honestly, not even from
an absurd point of view. That show would have worked.
They could have had alf do a guest appearance as
one of Rose's no, not Rose as one of Blanche's dates,
and it would have worked.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I'm just saying, uh, if Estelle, Geddy and and Alpha
on the couch, I want this on late night Cinemax.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
And that's how Furriedom was born.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, my imagination is running wild on this.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh yeah, another one. Fantasy Island, different strokes, two angry
little drunk people.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Stole my white people.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Oh my god, you're right, because that's one thing the eighties.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It was like a rule in seventies and eighties television
you couldn't have more than one little person on a
show at a time. So you had Gary Coleman on
his and you had what's his name on Fantasy Island.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
They were not allowed to be in the same scene
at the same time.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, yeah, you had.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
And then you had Emmanuel Lewis who was on Webster Right,
So I would like to see your point.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It stands to reason that Emmanuel Lewis and Gary Coleman's
character would have cross pads in the foster system.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I just want to know how bad Gary Coleman felt
that he wasn't the one that Michael Jackson was carrying.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
The one time in his life. He was too big.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
But I would like to see a different Webster, like
different Strokes and Webster combined. And it's just and just
just a TV show with those two, just a man
and You'll lose and Gary Coleman and a fight to
the death.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
That's the season finale.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I got Gary Coleman all day long, not if there's
a coffee table in that ring.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Or a flight stairs or possibly his wife.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Has anybody checked on Emmanuel Lewis? What happened to that guy?
Speaker 5 (20:54):
He's hard to find.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
The last time I saw him, he was he looked
as wide as he is tall.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
He's a perfect circle. Mm hmm. Oh.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
The only downside to this is my imagination is running sold.
I have all these shows in my head in almost
like a TV jumble, and I'm trying to pull and
put him together, which honestly would be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I mean, but could you do TV shows and movies
from the same genre, because that would kind of be cool.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I would have Blue Thunder and Airwolf. Air Wolf could
have just killed Blue Thunder as the cheap knockoff.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And it would have been quick, it would have it
would have been a short film.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So different strokes in Webster.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I was going to say Airwolf and Webster Webster finds
himself at the controls of air Wolf.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
You can't can't see the uh.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I mean, Dominic's gonna play a huge role in that show.
I mean, just imagine the hyjiks low jinks.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I think.

(24:12):
homecoming mums in high school? Oh yeah, remember how big
and gaudy they were? And we're talking for us twenty five,
thirty years ago. Well, uh, twenty twenty five has entered
the chat. These are the mums of today. Those are
(24:35):
not dresses that these young ladies from a North Texas
high school are wearing.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Those are the mums.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
If you look, not even that closely, but if you look,
you can see that the part that used to just
kinda be over one side.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Of the chest a little bit, the little mum.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Part has now found it self and some radioactive ooze
and grown exponentially. Some are now in the shape of hearts.
Some are circles, but they actually go wider than the
body of the girl wearing it. It looks like some
sort of freaky sandwich board display plus all the dangli
(25:18):
accoutrement that flow beneath it.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
This is insane.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I have to say this. The way they have the
faces blurred out. I first look, I thought, well, there's
a bunch of big frozze.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
No to self.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
It was like, is this the time Jackson?
Speaker 5 (25:42):
All right, no, no to self.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
The next time I blur out kids' faces in Canva,
don't use the blurry black spot.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Not at all too.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I was like, they are fresh, you know what.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I guess it oddly would work better if they were
all African American.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
It's like this act they can pull that off. Not
the white kids, though.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
It looks like they're going on the Diana Ross Show,
like that's this is from the seventies. I'm like, I
didn't know LaToya and Bibie were allowed.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I didn't even know.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Or something Chaer would have worn.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
She's our median, or or Liberai who knew he had
nine kids. He didn't know.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
No one was as shocked as he was.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
It was a different time.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You could also set this to like this looks like
something Elvis would wear, like in the later years. Yeah,
but that's I can't even imagine what that what that
would cost.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It is amazing to think about because I remember I
remember in high school going to Michaels and having to
pick out certain things. Because I don't know about you guys,
but when I was in high school at Lamar and Arlington,
the Michaels had the Lamar and Arlington High School, the
(27:14):
two schools in the general area had your colors and
all your trinkets and things that you go in and
buy and build it and do all the things. Now
this looks so elaborate, like you would have to have
your own store. Like this isn't even just like a
table at Michael's anymore. It's its own place.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I mean the base, I guess is what you would
call it.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
The thing that you dangle all the things from, is
like three feet wide.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And the things that they're dangling from it look like
the furry legs that Tom Hanks and dan Ackroyd wore
in Dragnet.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
They look like coats, yes, thick winter coats.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And this is this is hanging from them like they're
wearing clothing like normal clothes underneath this. This is just
what's on front, like in front of them. I mean,
they're all gonna have serious back issues when they're older
carrying these things around.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Tony Small had a store that would actually you would
just go in and place your order. You would pick
out what you wanted and they would make your mom
and it was ready I think either that day or
the next day, so you didn't have to like go
to you could you could go to Michael's and do
what you like what you guys did.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
But this.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
I don't even know where you would Uh. Is there
somebody that comes up behind like they used to do
for James Brown and just like just put put it
over you. When you're done dancing, when.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's time for a photograph, you get draped and then
when the photographs are over, they pull it off again
and you know, keep it safe.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Yeah, I still can't go. I still can't get over.
Oh why did you do it to that picture too? Dan?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Because these girls I don't know how old they are,
So when I changed the photo here, I need to
blur out their faces because I believe they're mostly underage,
So I can't just show there. Even though these are
photos that are circulating online. I'm not going to be
the responsible party of uh taking underage kids and putting
their faces on the show, because that's not the focus.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
The focus is the ridiculous month.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Yes, but but if you look in the background, nobody
else is wearing any of these.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well, in this photo, no one else is wearing them
because two of the people in the background are cheerleaders.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
And you can't.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
You cannot intentionally tumble with these with this type of
mum strapped to your chest.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Oh you'll tumble, for sure, It's just he'll be part
of the routine.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Yeah, that's why I said, Yeah, you cannot intentionally.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Yeah, wow, that is Uh, that's gotta be three four
hundred bucks pop easy.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I mean, I mean, look, things have progressed in the
years in the decade since we've been in high school.
I this looks like a parody. This is so ridiculous.
It looks like a spoo or something that would have
happened on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Like, yeah, it looks like what was the top secret?
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Yeah with Val Kilmer.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, the giant like post of the magnifying glass away
and his eyes a real big Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Did they Okay, do you ask the girl like, because
I just made the standard mom, you know, whatever went
on it? You know, football and what little trinkets and
footballs that went on it, and like we have those
theater masks as we're in theater. Do they ask these
girls like how, like what do you want on it?
And that's what they decided on.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
These guys just do it.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I think when you have a mom this large, what
you do is you just have your mom to make
one and then you find the girl that you like
and you just throw it on her and then she's
basically yours because there's no way she could take that
off herself.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
M Okay, sounds like an anchor.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, you will come to homecoming dance with me because
you have no other choice.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
These are girls just getting wheeled in uh huh.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Like you don't see it, but the girls on the
bottom row, they're not kneeling. They're in wheelchairs.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Make a wish, mums.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
And the girls in the back that appear to be
standing are actually propped up like mannequins.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I saw one in high school that actually was so
big it came with like an easel, and that girl
had to take it from class to class.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Everybody else's had the one that you know, would just
pin on your clothes. Yeah, and this poor girl and
everybody made fun of her. So I guess she was
ahead of her time.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
She was, she was a trailblazer.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
If she was in school now, she'd probably be homecoming queen.
But it's a difficult thing because once people raise that bar,
then it's difficult for everybody else. Because I remember in
high school the homecoming days. Go to the store, see
the moms. See how elaborate some were. Now granted, none
of them were like this were They're three feet across
(32:54):
and you know, anchoring, you know, teenage girls to the
gym floor. But you could tell the difference there were
the smaller ones, the medium, the large, extra large, but
they were.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
All pretty much within the same range.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Now for a poor kid like me, became a real
delicate balance to try to hit because it's like, Okay,
I like you, and I'm glad you're my homecoming date,
but I'm not loaded. My dad's not an anesthesiologist, so
I need to find a way to get you the
cheapest mom I can but still have some impact.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
They just threw glitter on a uh carnation.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
It was like, that's yours.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
That's it, not even a rose, just one small carnation.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
And one trinket sticking out of it that said school.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
And your jersey number. Cause you got to make it
about you for a little.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Bit, you know, well, I mean that's how I mean,
that's Isn't that the whole reason for the thing. It's
like you're you're claiming this person is yours, this is
my day, my number one.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah, in India, when we claim something is ours, you
wouldn't have married to that person. So that's not uh,
that's not homecoming, that's home wrecking.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
That could be.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Dan where your trinkets just really big helmets and pencils.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Just said Danny.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
First of all, Yes. Second of all, it said Danny's.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
He was on a budget, so it said Denny's.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
That's how I asked her out. I said, you are
my grand Slam Homecoming.
