We start off today with some exciting news for GenX guys, the reboot of Knight Rider with a potential crossover/reboot of AirWolf. It's what we all needed growing up. Who is going to take over the roles, what are they going to use for KITT? We discuss it all plus the new inductees into the Toy HOF with one very questionable "toy".

Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at
YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trey Trendholm, at Raj Sharma and Jerry Calledwell, very excited
to be with you today inside the Treehouse. We all
four of us here inside the Treehouse are children of
(00:49):
the eighties and if you were a boy who grew
up in the eighties, you're going to absolutely love this story.
A night Writer movie reboot just might bring Airwolf back
to life. Wow, everybody, everybody, Everybody stand back so you
(01:11):
don't get poked in the eye with trays a nostalgia boner, which,
by the way, which by the way, is going to
get bigger as we go through this. Okay, now, Number one,
there is a night Rider movie reboot. Number two, it
could lead to an Airwolf reboot as well. Number three.
(01:33):
This is coming from the Cobra Kai creators, so they
know a thing or two about treating a legacy franchise
with respect, well giving it a modern twist. Believe that's
what this.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
And I think if I read it correctly, isn't there
also a six Billion Dollar Man?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, there's all sorts of crossovers thrown around in here.
So according to Fortress of Solitude, it's a website. Night Writer,
the show about a talking car fighting crime alongside Michael Knight,
is coming back, and this time it's a movie. But
it's not returning alone. According to reports, it's bringing along
a few eighties friends, including Aerowolf and the six Billion
(02:16):
Dollar Man, which is a crossover some people have waited
their entire lives. John Hurwitz, Hayden Sloshburg, and Josh Held
are the brains behind Cobra Kai. They're attached to The
Night Writer's screenplay. But while that alone might make fans
sit up and take notice, some of their plans might
(02:36):
actually shake up the franchise. According to the Takeion Pulse podcast,
the new kit might not even be a Pontiac Firebird
last Are you ready for some controversy? Here we go. Instead,
it could be an electric car. Great, night Writer's gone woke.
None of us can see it now.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, at least it's not a cyber truck.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I mean, there's that hang on. Oh no, obviously, the
old Pontiac Firebird was a classic this is according to
a source, but they're going to have to use an
electric car. Options being kicked around include the Tesla Roadster.
So while it's not the cyber truck at least, which.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yes, by the way, if you look at the I
think it's the the twenty six or twenty seven cyber truck.
They at least redesign this damn thing and it doesn't
look so hidious.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So it no longer looks like a trash can out
of Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Correct, It actually looks like a truck.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't believe you. I'm kidding. I believe you, and
I hope to God that's the case, because that really
is one of the ugliest vehicles to ever rolled.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Over it, I mean, and and it got worse.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Why everyone just goes face down right into the phone.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
It looks like somebody I took a cyber truck it
and it melted a little bit, and then they put
a lift kit on it. This is the redneck cyber truck.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That's what a truck is.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I mean, no trucks were supposed to be for farms
and movies and hauling things.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
This looks like something This looks.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
It looks at least looks like a pickup truck.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It does look a bit more like a pickup truck now, yes,
So what was the excuse for the first version?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Elon Musk was on ketamine.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Well, hey, I also remember at one point people were
outbidding each other to get the first ones paying and
then these figures.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And then they regretted it. Oh yeah, especially because of
all the fingerprints that get left on them. Okay, I'm
seeing this now. This is not bad. That's not bad.
But Raj is holding up a photo on his phone.
I pulled up another one. Hang on, no, you see if.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I can show us to actually looks like a pickup
truck at least Okay, I mean, I didn't say it
was the best looking thing ever, but it at least
is better than the the gen one or whatever you
want to call it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So this version that I've got up on our screen here,
which by the way, is a great time for us
to plug our Patreon. If you want to see this
truck and not just hear the audio, go to patreon
dot com, slash Treehouse on air and subscribe today. The
photo I'm seeing here, it's teal and black and looks
like an updated Avalanche.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, because that's what I want to spend. One hundred
and fifty is an updated Avalanche.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's better than an updated uh Wavelan. It's better than
an updated Pontiac Aztec.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yes, Snoopy Samurai were useful.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And maybe maybe this one can go through a puddle.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Who knows, maybe maybe if for no other reason than
just because it was lifted a bit.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I want to say this, some people are very self aware.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
My girlfriend and I were driving to dinner the other
night and there was a cyber truck and the license
plate was Vanity Plates and it just said ugly truck.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Nice. I was like, very selful, well brother, well done.
Back to the nostalgia story here. So uh. While the
idea is probably to go towards the future with a
futuristic vehicle and having the new kit being an electric car,
the options that are being kicked around are supposedly the
Tesla Roadster, Chrysler's High On X, High On Concept h
(06:51):
IO N, and my favorite, the Dodge Charger E V.
And when you see what the Dodge Charger EV looks like,
I think you'll be on board with me as well
as far as what car the new kit should be.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Here you go.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That looks that looks pretty sweet to me. It should
have the little little red light going back and for
a tray. You're shaking your head. No, what's wrong with
the Dodge charger? Ev?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's Dodge?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh no, oh no, you're saying it needs to be
a Pontiac.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Anything but Dodge or Chrysler.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh but have you seen the Chrysler the house, the
one that he was talking about?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Hi on h I O n oh, this is the
H A L C y O. Na, Well the house
would be there, Okay, that would be fine. That looks sharp.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It's like a sports car. I might I might change
my mind on that one.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
That.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yeah, that's a pretty cool one. Hmm. I like it.
What's wrong with It's where a TV show?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
What's wrong with Dodge? Why did Why did Dodge quit
making the internal combustion engine? Because no one would buy
their cars anymore? So that you know, all I'm trying
to do is say, evs, and.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Your anger is so very guided. I like people have
misguided anger. It's like combustible engines.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Well, no, it's just so. Dodge just became known for cheap,
cheap horsepower and poorly designed cars and that literally that's
why they they have quit making engines and everything is
evs Now, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Pretty amazing if you think about it, If you know,
it's like a car manufacturer said, you know what, we're
not very good at making these engine things. So we're
just gonna We're gonna pivot New from Dodge the hell
Fire Printer.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
When when listen here here is here's the point in
which you have failed at a car company, when rental
car companies stopped buying your cars.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Ooh, that is yeah, that is pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
New from New from Dodge the Espressial Machine, an espresso hellcat,
the fastest coffee you'll ever drink.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Anyway, the new kit will not look as cool. It's uh,
I'm sorry, but the new Kit won't just look cool.
It's supposed to be packed with artificial intelligence technology, tying
it to a broader universe that could include Aerowolf and
the six Billion Dollar Man. Apparently, all three franchises could
eventually cross paths fighting AI villains in a shared story world.
(09:44):
Thank of it as a Marvel style team up with
AI vehicles and machines. All it's missing is the skibbity
toilet guy.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
From million to billion on the six.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yeah, it's a six billion dollar man and that's just
his cope. So inflation is a bitch.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
And and so then now that is it the ten
billion dollar woman.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yes, I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
That's not even keeping up with inflation.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So yeah, it will be thanks to inflation and tariffs,
it'll be the six billion dollar man the ten billion
dollar woman. But she'll still only make sixty percent of
the six billion dollar man because not everything's gonna change.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Oh god, She'll finally be able to break through the
glass ceiling though, So that's nice.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Just with one punch no no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Quantity.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
All you have to do is say you can break
that ceiling. But you have to pick what'st free, eat,
what's deep.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I don't think she's gonna be running on food. She
runs on bitching.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
She's just running to the next manager.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
You're in the Treehouse, visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It's like Frankenstein meets the six billion dollar woman. What
have I done? Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing
and Restoration into the Treehouse now for your free roof
inspection called eight three three cook DFW the website cookdfw
(11:48):
dot com. Daniel. I am in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It's
the peninsula to the east of Boston, and obviously things
are a little bit different here compared to Texas and
certainly compared to say Thomas, where I normally live. The
architecture on the homes is different, the roofs are different,
the sighting is different. It's these wooden square type things
(12:11):
on the sides of the houses and on the roofs
as well.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Do you know anything about this very popular roofing.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Aerial called wood shake, and that was super abundant as
far as the type of homes you know made at first,
woodshake was a very common application. They literally by hand
used to make those wood pieces and chop them up,
and then they would use tenpenny nails after they laid
(12:42):
down the base layer, they would lay those over the
top and it would be very effective as far as
roofing material. And so a lot of the up north,
I would say, Midwest even some areas very common and
it's amazing how well it works. I think they used
to lay like a barrier of like grass or some
(13:06):
type of like a weather barrier below those so that way,
it was almost acting like insulation. But it's amazing the
engineering that these folks when these homes were built in
the seventeen hundreds and eighteen hundreds and even now, I mean,
it's a lot easier to do these roots, and people
do replace these roofs with the upgraded versions of wood shake,
(13:27):
which is totally different now. I mean it's like an
engineered material now, but it has the same looks, it's
more statics.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
So not only for all your roofing and housing needs
in North Texas, but if you just want some good
old fashioned house knowledge, at the drop of a tenpenny,
you called Daniel Cook eight three to three Cook DFW
or the website cookdfw dot com.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
You're in the Treehouse.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
This segment of the Treehouse is brought to you by
COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration. The storms this week are a
very very stark reminder that need to get your roof
checked eight three to three Cook DFW to schedule that
free roof inspection to make sure you don't have any
damage and if you do, hopefully it's small and then
that way you can catch it and repair it before
(14:21):
it becomes major. And if it is major, hopefully you've
already called Daniel Cook eight three to three Cook DFW
or that website, cookdfw dot com. Do you guys know
the origin story of Michael Knight from night Rider back
in the eighties, Yes, tell me, Jerry, Well, Michael Knight was.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
He was a police officer, kind of operated on the
outskirts of what you should be doing.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Umm, he.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Had something happened into him and then he was in
a coma for a bit. When he woke up, he
didn't know who he was. So the guy who was
the head of night Industries gave him the name Michael
Knight and told him.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Who you were.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
The skills that you have that you don't understand, you
can use those to help us in our crusade. And
that's how he started operating.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, I totally forgot about the origin story of Michael
Knight on Night Writer and this story. We were just
reading about the night Writer reboot at the hands of
the Cobra Kai guys. It actually said the Michael Knight's
origin story was already wild. A cop shot in the face,
surgically rebuilt and looked like David Hasselhoff.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
That's an alp a plastic surgeon.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It really is. I mean the only plastic surgeon that
might be on the same level is whoever does the
Kardashian clan. So top notch work.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Could be worse. It could be worse. He could look
like Adrian's med.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He is an angel.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Because he's dead. Uh no, no, he's not. I'm not dead.
He's an angel. I'm like, well, because he's died. Oh well,
his career is an angel whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Uh, all of our careers have ups and downs.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Uh. Anyway, we were excited because the night Rider reboot
might introduce the possibility of an Airwolf crossover leading to
a reboot, six billion dollar man all that fun stuff.
So it really is has Bro. If if you can
buy stock in Hasbro, now's the time because they're about
to sell some freaking toys.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It does leave one Yeah, just huge question. Who are
they going to get to play the Ernest borgnine character?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Oh that is a great, great question. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And the voice of Kit from the original is still alive,
so I wonder if they'll bring him back. He was
the he was a teacher on Boy Meets World.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, absolutely, and The thing about that is, since the
show is centered on an AI vehicle, I mean, all
you gotta do is ask and pay for permission to
use his voice, clone it, and then you can still
have the same voice, the same actor. So if he dies,
you still got him in the car.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Yeah. I just looked at he's ninety eight. I don't
think we need him.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And I'm gonna guess that some money still owns the
rights to that, so don't.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yeah, I'd have to.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Do a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I will say, though, a ninety eight year old version
of Kit might be funny.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I think it'd be hilarious.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
All it'll just keep all little, just keep telling Michael
Knight is rerouting, rerouting, rerouting.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
It would be funny if you have, Yeah, the old
kid with the ninety eight year old voice kind of
passing the torch to the new one.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Can we reboot this? Let's like, not only the show, but.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
The car just keeps telling Michael Knight to slow down earlier.
We should have left earlier. That's right.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, you don't want the reboot of night Rider to
just be one long silver alert.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That that is gonna be a.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Take out of that one.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's gonna be a tough one. Who are you gonna
get to play the Hasselhoff character? Who you need to
play Michael Knight because you've got to have some of
the cheesiness of Hasselhoff to make it work.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yes, So here's the thing. It has to be someone young,
I think, and I don't really know a whole lot
of the younger actors of today's generation, and I don't
think a lot of people do because we keep the
same guys that are around our age in things. Because
my first thought would be Ryan Gosling, which, by the way,
(19:07):
he was already cult sever in the Fall Guy movie reboot,
which I still say is a fantastic and fun movie.
If you have not seen it, see it. It is
so good him and Emily Blunt.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Fantastic, No is it. It's it's a good watch, I'll
give it.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
But fantastically fun. I mean it's again it's not high
cinema here, but it treats the original story of cult
Sever with respect. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And it's funny.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's funny, deserves.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's a good movie, not great good no.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Uh. And the thing is with you know, like the
younger generation, they already have perms, so it'd be easy
to slide into the Michael Knight perm of the eighties.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Do we have to do that part?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You don't have to, but I think you're just going
to because I mean, what's what's what's old.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
We're gonna We're gonna stick to the black leather jacket
and the black leather pants because you know he he
mainly wore jeans. Yeah, it was jeans in the leather
jacket and yeah, but the in the in the promo
pictures and he's wearing leather pants and a black leather jacket.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Well, there's also promo photos of David Hasselhoff and a
leather jacket and leather underwear. So let's not get too
carried away.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Well that's how I fight crime, chafing me damned.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's how he and Kit truly became one.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Who could play it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm trying to think, well, the irony is both Michael
Knight and the guy from Airwolf.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
As Jan Michael vin Vincent.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Jan Michael Vincent not characters in the show, but in
real life were horrific alcoholics. Yes, so maybe that's you're so,
maybe that's your starting point.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
There's only two people in the world that know Jan
Michael Vincent's name, and Tray's one of them.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know, it's ironic.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
It's not Jan Michael Vincent. Also, he's a dude named Jan.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I believe it's Yawn, which I just got a yawn
out of trade just saying the word Yon. Anyway, it
could be a very exciting reboot. I mean, and I'm
with you, Trey, because the casting options are really are
(21:35):
are fascinating, because who's gonna play Michael Knight? Who's gonna
are they? What are they gonna do with the voice
of kit If there is the Airwolf thing? Okay, well,
who's gonna play was it, uh Hawk string or string
fellow whatever? Fellow Hawk, Stringfellow Hawk, which is a kick
cast name by the way, from Airwolf? And then the
(21:56):
old fat guy that Ernest Borgna had played so beautifully, Domin. Yeah,
who's who's gonna be dominant? J Philip can be Dominic? No,
We're not doing that. Don't stay too much, Jack Black. No,
we got we got enough of him over the last week. Yeah,
we got enough of him over the last week from
the Anaconda trailer. Uh if Philip, if Philip Seymour Hoffman
(22:18):
had not passed away, I think He would have made
an excellent dominic in the air Wolf movie.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Danny DeVito.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I'd watch that, eh, I'm just watching him trying to
get the in the helicopter.

money has Bro is standing to make with all these
eighties reboots and bringing back new toys from night Rider
and Airwolf and the six billion dollar Man action figures,
(25:12):
and so I can segue from that to this. All right,
if you start a hall of fame, you are inviting controversy.
And the latest example of this are this year's inductees
for the National Toy Hall of Fame. They do this
every year, and they've been doing this for a number
of years now. Someone created the National Toy Hall of Fame.
(25:36):
And there's a very controversial choice that I need to mention. First.
The other ones board Games, Battleship Catan. I think I'm
saying that right, c at a n and Trivial Pursuit
connect four Cornhole Ferbies, the Scooter, the spirograph, A, Star Wars, Lightsaber,
(25:58):
and Tickle Me Elmo are all inductees for the National
Toy Hall of Fame this year. But that's not all.
The National Toy Hall of Fame might also induct Snow.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
The Rapper. At least he's getting inducted somewhere.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
He can't even get his way into the National Toy
Hall of Fame. They mean the precipitation Snow. And this
is what I mean when I say, if you're going
to start a hall of fame, you're going to invite
some controversy here, Because I'm not sorry when I say
snow is not a toy, that's precipitations, that's that's weather
(26:40):
that just because you play with it doesn't make it
a toy. Okay, I was I played with barbed wire
as a kid. That's definitely not a toy. I was about.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Well, I mean, yeah, if you're gonna induct snow, then
you have to induct myself.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, if you play with it. If that was the case,
in the first and possibly only inductee needed for the
National Toy Hall of Fame would have been our weenies.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I'll be writing my speech now in the snow.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Oh but yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Can snowball fights and stuff like that. I get to
Bacon building a snowman like that's kind of I can
see it.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, I'm not saying it's not a fun thing. I'm
just saying, like a toy is something to me. It's
like it's a thing you go and buy it. It's
specifically meant for child's enjoyment.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's manufactured.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yes, it's a manufactured thing specific for the enjoyment of
a child, not just stuff you find lying around and
you decided to play with it, Like Dad's gunn.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I'm sure that was the first inductee.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And the last. What if it was like snow in
a can, because they have that as well, that would
have been fine. That would make sense because like Trey said,
then that would be a manufactured thing meant for someone
to play with.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, because then you can, you know, still any time
of the year, you can build a snowman if you
have enough cans. And then also the underlying cancer that
comes with it. There's a lot of toys that they
give people in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
And that, to me is another trait of a toy
is whether or not there are any warnings attached to it.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yes, and you said the lightsaber? Yeah, yeah, which one
I mean? I mean I had a toy lightsaber when
I was a kid. There was just basically a flashlight
with a plastic thing you cook to the top. I
don't know, I mean it was that's the case. It
seems long overdue, but I'm wondering if there was a
(28:59):
newer version.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And the other thing is I don't I don't know,
I don't know what the you know, qualifications are for
the National Toy Hall of Fame, like for the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame and for Sports Hall of Fames.
You have to have been in the industry for a
certain period of time, or in sports Hall of Fames
you have to have been retired for a certain amount
of time to be eligible for toys. I don't know
(29:21):
what those requirements are.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
And do you have any siblings? No, So you just
had a lightsaber and no one to fight.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I had an extra one. That's actually how I made
my one of my first childhood friends.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
But yeah, okay, was gonna say, that's probably why you
disagree with it'st.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
This thing doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well, no, that's why I'm said it's long overdue. If
that's if that's oh, because I mean, yeah, I had
that forty years ago.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, yeah, and I would trade because I was technically
not an only child. But when my parents split up,
my sister stayed with my dad, I went with my mom.
Just broke the whole family right on the middle, real
real a hole, judge.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
And so.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I had a lightsaber thing. But I've really only played
with with with myself occasionally my cousin who's two years older.
We might you know, we were sort of you know,
playmates or whatever. But yeah, to Tray, it was mostly
me running around with a lightsaber toy by myself just
looking weird.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I feel you were playing more Spaceball than you were
Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It probably looked that way. Yeah, big help, but yeah
with my own ass.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Extra large lightsaber, da.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
That way. No other Jedi accidentally pick up my lightsaber.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
It's mine.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
It was Danny Kin Skywalker. Did you fight your imaginary friend?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yes? Uh, Timmy John was a hell of a sith
Lord Timmy John also known as Darth TJ.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Redneck Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Flying around his Tai tractor. I would watch that, remember
the old show on YouTube, Chad Vader.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah, I love that show.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Old school YouTube was a lot of fun for those
that don't know. If you want to go back old school,
then there's some good things to watch on old school YouTube,
not the least of which is Chad Vader, which is
Darth Vader's store manager brother on Earth grocery store manager.
And then there's also what was the police officer's named
(31:48):
Trey the retarded policeman, Yeah him. Great shows on old.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
YouTube, just you know, Redneck Star Wars. I just want
to see what princess is wearing, that's all. I would
watch it.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
For Daisy Dukes and like that little like halter top
thing that just covers the boobs, and.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I just see the gold bikini the whole time like that,
not even a Job of the Hut captive, just the
whole time, that's what she wears.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, the irony is for Redneck star Wars is. You
wouldn't have to change that movie that much with Job
of the Hut and her in the bikini, except instead
of it being a cult, instead of it being a
gold bikini, it would just have American flags on it.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
And then you can find Job of the Hut on
any episode of six hundred Pounds Life.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
While chugging cases of Natty light.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
That is the dark side.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, yeah, but I agree snow, I guess not because
it's not manufactured.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I agree with that.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Yeah, that is snow beat out snow beat out mud.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I don't know where mud falls on this list. And
you're right because I've played with a lot of mud
as a kid too, played with snow, played with mud sticks,
lots of sticks.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Yeah, okay, mud and sticks? Were you guys? It is
making bricks. What were you doing?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
No, silly mud pies?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Exactly what pies? Please explain?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Well, what you do is you go to the kitchen
and you get you one of those aluminum tins that
you put pies in, and you just put mud in
it and maybe decorated with a couple of pebbles.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Oh, because that's just sad. One day you'll be a
real pie.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Raj. Making a mud pie is not what's sad. It's eating.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
It tastes like Terry.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Cobbler if you close your eyes and wish really hard.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Don't forget. He was adopted.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
And there was a reason I came out and the
doctors recognized it immediately, like this kid's gonna eat mud.
Just go ahead, you don't want this one. Let's see
if you get lucky on the next one. Oh thanks, doc,
We really dodged a bullet there. For all things Treehouse,
(34:26):
go to Treehouse on their dot com. They were really
pretty after If you got you got good at it, right,
Jerry making the mud pies?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And if you really wanted to get creative, you could
turn it into a practical joke and put it in
the oven and switch it out for your grandma's pies
and see how long it takes anyone to notice. I
think that was probably close to a death sentence if
you did that. Yeah, that's when mom hit me with
my toy sticks. Uh find him, follow the show on
uh social media at Treehouse on air. For me, it's
(34:57):
at the Daniel Mallley. For Trey, it's at tree Turnhome
one for Rage at Comedian Rage. And for Jerry, it's
at that Jerry guy. We'll see next time right here
inside the Treehouse.
Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at
YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
Trey Trendholm, at Raj Sharma and Jerry Calledwell, very excited
to be with you today inside the Treehouse. We all
four of us here inside the Treehouse are children of
(00:49):
the eighties and if you were a boy who grew
up in the eighties, you're going to absolutely love this story.
A night Writer movie reboot just might bring Airwolf back
to life. Wow, everybody, everybody, Everybody stand back so you
(01:11):
don't get poked in the eye with trays a nostalgia boner, which,
by the way, which by the way, is going to
get bigger as we go through this. Okay, now, Number one,
there is a night Rider movie reboot. Number two, it
could lead to an Airwolf reboot as well. Number three.
(01:33):
This is coming from the Cobra Kai creators, so they
know a thing or two about treating a legacy franchise
with respect, well giving it a modern twist. Believe that's
what this.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
And I think if I read it correctly, isn't there
also a six Billion Dollar Man?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, there's all sorts of crossovers thrown around in here.
So according to Fortress of Solitude, it's a website. Night Writer,
the show about a talking car fighting crime alongside Michael Knight,
is coming back, and this time it's a movie. But
it's not returning alone. According to reports, it's bringing along
a few eighties friends, including Aerowolf and the six Billion
(02:16):
Dollar Man, which is a crossover some people have waited
their entire lives. John Hurwitz, Hayden Sloshburg, and Josh Held
are the brains behind Cobra Kai. They're attached to The
Night Writer's screenplay. But while that alone might make fans
sit up and take notice, some of their plans might
(02:36):
actually shake up the franchise. According to the Takeion Pulse podcast,
the new kit might not even be a Pontiac Firebird
last Are you ready for some controversy? Here we go. Instead,
it could be an electric car. Great, night Writer's gone woke.
None of us can see it now.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, at least it's not a cyber truck.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I mean, there's that hang on. Oh no, obviously, the
old Pontiac Firebird was a classic this is according to
a source, but they're going to have to use an
electric car. Options being kicked around include the Tesla Roadster.
So while it's not the cyber truck at least, which.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yes, by the way, if you look at the I
think it's the the twenty six or twenty seven cyber truck.
They at least redesign this damn thing and it doesn't
look so hidious.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So it no longer looks like a trash can out
of Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Correct, It actually looks like a truck.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't believe you. I'm kidding. I believe you, and
I hope to God that's the case, because that really
is one of the ugliest vehicles to ever rolled.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Over it, I mean, and and it got worse.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Why everyone just goes face down right into the phone.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
It looks like somebody I took a cyber truck it
and it melted a little bit, and then they put
a lift kit on it. This is the redneck cyber truck.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That's what a truck is.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I mean, no trucks were supposed to be for farms
and movies and hauling things.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
This looks like something This looks.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
It looks at least looks like a pickup truck.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It does look a bit more like a pickup truck now, yes,
So what was the excuse for the first version?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Elon Musk was on ketamine.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Well, hey, I also remember at one point people were
outbidding each other to get the first ones paying and
then these figures.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And then they regretted it. Oh yeah, especially because of
all the fingerprints that get left on them. Okay, I'm
seeing this now. This is not bad. That's not bad.
But Raj is holding up a photo on his phone.
I pulled up another one. Hang on, no, you see if.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I can show us to actually looks like a pickup
truck at least Okay, I mean, I didn't say it
was the best looking thing ever, but it at least
is better than the the gen one or whatever you
want to call it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So this version that I've got up on our screen here,
which by the way, is a great time for us
to plug our Patreon. If you want to see this
truck and not just hear the audio, go to patreon
dot com, slash Treehouse on air and subscribe today. The
photo I'm seeing here, it's teal and black and looks
like an updated Avalanche.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, because that's what I want to spend. One hundred
and fifty is an updated Avalanche.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's better than an updated uh Wavelan. It's better than
an updated Pontiac Aztec.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yes, Snoopy Samurai were useful.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And maybe maybe this one can go through a puddle.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Who knows, maybe maybe if for no other reason than
just because it was lifted a bit.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I want to say this, some people are very self aware.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
My girlfriend and I were driving to dinner the other
night and there was a cyber truck and the license
plate was Vanity Plates and it just said ugly truck.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Nice. I was like, very selful, well brother, well done.
Back to the nostalgia story here. So uh. While the
idea is probably to go towards the future with a
futuristic vehicle and having the new kit being an electric car,
the options that are being kicked around are supposedly the
Tesla Roadster, Chrysler's High On X, High On Concept h
(06:51):
IO N, and my favorite, the Dodge Charger E V.
And when you see what the Dodge Charger EV looks like,
I think you'll be on board with me as well
as far as what car the new kit should be.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Here you go.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That looks that looks pretty sweet to me. It should
have the little little red light going back and for
a tray. You're shaking your head. No, what's wrong with
the Dodge charger? Ev?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's Dodge?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh no, oh no, you're saying it needs to be
a Pontiac.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Anything but Dodge or Chrysler.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh but have you seen the Chrysler the house, the
one that he was talking about?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Hi on h I O n oh, this is the
H A L C y O. Na, Well the house
would be there, Okay, that would be fine. That looks sharp.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It's like a sports car. I might I might change
my mind on that one.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
That.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yeah, that's a pretty cool one. Hmm. I like it.
What's wrong with It's where a TV show?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
What's wrong with Dodge? Why did Why did Dodge quit
making the internal combustion engine? Because no one would buy
their cars anymore? So that you know, all I'm trying
to do is say, evs, and.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Your anger is so very guided. I like people have
misguided anger. It's like combustible engines.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Well, no, it's just so. Dodge just became known for cheap,
cheap horsepower and poorly designed cars and that literally that's
why they they have quit making engines and everything is
evs Now, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Pretty amazing if you think about it, If you know,
it's like a car manufacturer said, you know what, we're
not very good at making these engine things. So we're
just gonna We're gonna pivot New from Dodge the hell
Fire Printer.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
When when listen here here is here's the point in
which you have failed at a car company, when rental
car companies stopped buying your cars.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Ooh, that is yeah, that is pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
New from New from Dodge the Espressial Machine, an espresso hellcat,
the fastest coffee you'll ever drink.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Anyway, the new kit will not look as cool. It's uh,
I'm sorry, but the new Kit won't just look cool.
It's supposed to be packed with artificial intelligence technology, tying
it to a broader universe that could include Aerowolf and
the six Billion Dollar Man. Apparently, all three franchises could
eventually cross paths fighting AI villains in a shared story world.
(09:44):
Thank of it as a Marvel style team up with
AI vehicles and machines. All it's missing is the skibbity
toilet guy.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
From million to billion on the six.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yeah, it's a six billion dollar man and that's just
his cope. So inflation is a bitch.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
And and so then now that is it the ten
billion dollar woman.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yes, I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
That's not even keeping up with inflation.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So yeah, it will be thanks to inflation and tariffs,
it'll be the six billion dollar man the ten billion
dollar woman. But she'll still only make sixty percent of
the six billion dollar man because not everything's gonna change.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Oh god, She'll finally be able to break through the
glass ceiling though, So that's nice.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Just with one punch no no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Quantity.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
All you have to do is say you can break
that ceiling. But you have to pick what'st free, eat,
what's deep.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I don't think she's gonna be running on food. She
runs on bitching.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
She's just running to the next manager.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
You're in the Treehouse, visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It's like Frankenstein meets the six billion dollar woman. What
have I done? Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing
and Restoration into the Treehouse now for your free roof
inspection called eight three three cook DFW the website cookdfw
(11:48):
dot com. Daniel. I am in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It's
the peninsula to the east of Boston, and obviously things
are a little bit different here compared to Texas and
certainly compared to say Thomas, where I normally live. The
architecture on the homes is different, the roofs are different,
the sighting is different. It's these wooden square type things
(12:11):
on the sides of the houses and on the roofs
as well.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Do you know anything about this very popular roofing.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Aerial called wood shake, and that was super abundant as
far as the type of homes you know made at first,
woodshake was a very common application. They literally by hand
used to make those wood pieces and chop them up,
and then they would use tenpenny nails after they laid
(12:42):
down the base layer, they would lay those over the
top and it would be very effective as far as
roofing material. And so a lot of the up north,
I would say, Midwest even some areas very common and
it's amazing how well it works. I think they used
to lay like a barrier of like grass or some
(13:06):
type of like a weather barrier below those so that way,
it was almost acting like insulation. But it's amazing the
engineering that these folks when these homes were built in
the seventeen hundreds and eighteen hundreds and even now, I mean,
it's a lot easier to do these roots, and people
do replace these roofs with the upgraded versions of wood shake,
(13:27):
which is totally different now. I mean it's like an
engineered material now, but it has the same looks, it's
more statics.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
So not only for all your roofing and housing needs
in North Texas, but if you just want some good
old fashioned house knowledge, at the drop of a tenpenny,
you called Daniel Cook eight three to three Cook DFW
or the website cookdfw dot com.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
You're in the Treehouse.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
This segment of the Treehouse is brought to you by
COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration. The storms this week are a
very very stark reminder that need to get your roof
checked eight three to three Cook DFW to schedule that
free roof inspection to make sure you don't have any
damage and if you do, hopefully it's small and then
that way you can catch it and repair it before
(14:21):
it becomes major. And if it is major, hopefully you've
already called Daniel Cook eight three to three Cook DFW
or that website, cookdfw dot com. Do you guys know
the origin story of Michael Knight from night Rider back
in the eighties, Yes, tell me, Jerry, Well, Michael Knight was.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
He was a police officer, kind of operated on the
outskirts of what you should be doing.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Umm, he.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Had something happened into him and then he was in
a coma for a bit. When he woke up, he
didn't know who he was. So the guy who was
the head of night Industries gave him the name Michael
Knight and told him.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Who you were.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
The skills that you have that you don't understand, you
can use those to help us in our crusade. And
that's how he started operating.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, I totally forgot about the origin story of Michael
Knight on Night Writer and this story. We were just
reading about the night Writer reboot at the hands of
the Cobra Kai guys. It actually said the Michael Knight's
origin story was already wild. A cop shot in the face,
surgically rebuilt and looked like David Hasselhoff.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
That's an alp a plastic surgeon.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It really is. I mean the only plastic surgeon that
might be on the same level is whoever does the
Kardashian clan. So top notch work.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Could be worse. It could be worse. He could look
like Adrian's med.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He is an angel.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Because he's dead. Uh no, no, he's not. I'm not dead.
He's an angel. I'm like, well, because he's died. Oh well,
his career is an angel whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Uh, all of our careers have ups and downs.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Uh. Anyway, we were excited because the night Rider reboot
might introduce the possibility of an Airwolf crossover leading to
a reboot, six billion dollar man all that fun stuff.
So it really is has Bro. If if you can
buy stock in Hasbro, now's the time because they're about
to sell some freaking toys.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It does leave one Yeah, just huge question. Who are
they going to get to play the Ernest borgnine character?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Oh that is a great, great question. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And the voice of Kit from the original is still alive,
so I wonder if they'll bring him back. He was
the he was a teacher on Boy Meets World.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, absolutely, and The thing about that is, since the
show is centered on an AI vehicle, I mean, all
you gotta do is ask and pay for permission to
use his voice, clone it, and then you can still
have the same voice, the same actor. So if he dies,
you still got him in the car.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Yeah. I just looked at he's ninety eight. I don't
think we need him.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And I'm gonna guess that some money still owns the
rights to that, so don't.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yeah, I'd have to.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Do a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I will say, though, a ninety eight year old version
of Kit might be funny.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I think it'd be hilarious.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
All it'll just keep all little, just keep telling Michael
Knight is rerouting, rerouting, rerouting.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
It would be funny if you have, Yeah, the old
kid with the ninety eight year old voice kind of
passing the torch to the new one.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Can we reboot this? Let's like, not only the show, but.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
The car just keeps telling Michael Knight to slow down earlier.
We should have left earlier. That's right.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, you don't want the reboot of night Rider to
just be one long silver alert.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That that is gonna be a.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Take out of that one.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's gonna be a tough one. Who are you gonna
get to play the Hasselhoff character? Who you need to
play Michael Knight because you've got to have some of
the cheesiness of Hasselhoff to make it work.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yes, So here's the thing. It has to be someone young,
I think, and I don't really know a whole lot
of the younger actors of today's generation, and I don't
think a lot of people do because we keep the
same guys that are around our age in things. Because
my first thought would be Ryan Gosling, which, by the way,
(19:07):
he was already cult sever in the Fall Guy movie reboot,
which I still say is a fantastic and fun movie.
If you have not seen it, see it. It is
so good him and Emily Blunt.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Fantastic, No is it. It's it's a good watch, I'll
give it.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
But fantastically fun. I mean it's again it's not high
cinema here, but it treats the original story of cult
Sever with respect. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And it's funny.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's funny, deserves.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's a good movie, not great good no.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Uh. And the thing is with you know, like the
younger generation, they already have perms, so it'd be easy
to slide into the Michael Knight perm of the eighties.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Do we have to do that part?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You don't have to, but I think you're just going
to because I mean, what's what's what's old.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
We're gonna We're gonna stick to the black leather jacket
and the black leather pants because you know he he
mainly wore jeans. Yeah, it was jeans in the leather
jacket and yeah, but the in the in the promo
pictures and he's wearing leather pants and a black leather jacket.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Well, there's also promo photos of David Hasselhoff and a
leather jacket and leather underwear. So let's not get too
carried away.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Well that's how I fight crime, chafing me damned.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's how he and Kit truly became one.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Who could play it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm trying to think, well, the irony is both Michael
Knight and the guy from Airwolf.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
As Jan Michael vin Vincent.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Jan Michael Vincent not characters in the show, but in
real life were horrific alcoholics. Yes, so maybe that's you're so,
maybe that's your starting point.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
There's only two people in the world that know Jan
Michael Vincent's name, and Tray's one of them.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know, it's ironic.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
It's not Jan Michael Vincent. Also, he's a dude named Jan.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I believe it's Yawn, which I just got a yawn
out of trade just saying the word Yon. Anyway, it
could be a very exciting reboot. I mean, and I'm
with you, Trey, because the casting options are really are
(21:35):
are fascinating, because who's gonna play Michael Knight? Who's gonna
are they? What are they gonna do with the voice
of kit If there is the Airwolf thing? Okay, well,
who's gonna play was it, uh Hawk string or string
fellow whatever? Fellow Hawk, Stringfellow Hawk, which is a kick
cast name by the way, from Airwolf? And then the
(21:56):
old fat guy that Ernest Borgna had played so beautifully, Domin. Yeah,
who's who's gonna be dominant? J Philip can be Dominic? No,
We're not doing that. Don't stay too much, Jack Black. No,
we got we got enough of him over the last week. Yeah,
we got enough of him over the last week from
the Anaconda trailer. Uh if Philip, if Philip Seymour Hoffman
(22:18):
had not passed away, I think He would have made
an excellent dominic in the air Wolf movie.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Danny DeVito.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I'd watch that, eh, I'm just watching him trying to
get the in the helicopter.
Speaker 2 (22:38):

money has Bro is standing to make with all these
eighties reboots and bringing back new toys from night Rider
and Airwolf and the six billion dollar Man action figures,
(25:12):
and so I can segue from that to this. All right,
if you start a hall of fame, you are inviting controversy.
And the latest example of this are this year's inductees
for the National Toy Hall of Fame. They do this
every year, and they've been doing this for a number
of years now. Someone created the National Toy Hall of Fame.
(25:36):
And there's a very controversial choice that I need to mention. First.
The other ones board Games, Battleship Catan. I think I'm
saying that right, c at a n and Trivial Pursuit
connect four Cornhole Ferbies, the Scooter, the spirograph, A, Star Wars, Lightsaber,
(25:58):
and Tickle Me Elmo are all inductees for the National
Toy Hall of Fame this year. But that's not all.
The National Toy Hall of Fame might also induct Snow.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
The Rapper. At least he's getting inducted somewhere.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
He can't even get his way into the National Toy
Hall of Fame. They mean the precipitation Snow. And this
is what I mean when I say, if you're going
to start a hall of fame, you're going to invite
some controversy here, Because I'm not sorry when I say
snow is not a toy, that's precipitations, that's that's weather
(26:40):
that just because you play with it doesn't make it
a toy. Okay, I was I played with barbed wire
as a kid. That's definitely not a toy. I was about.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Well, I mean, yeah, if you're gonna induct snow, then
you have to induct myself.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, if you play with it. If that was the case,
in the first and possibly only inductee needed for the
National Toy Hall of Fame would have been our weenies.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I'll be writing my speech now in the snow.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Oh but yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Can snowball fights and stuff like that. I get to
Bacon building a snowman like that's kind of I can
see it.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, I'm not saying it's not a fun thing. I'm
just saying, like a toy is something to me. It's
like it's a thing you go and buy it. It's
specifically meant for child's enjoyment.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's manufactured.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yes, it's a manufactured thing specific for the enjoyment of
a child, not just stuff you find lying around and
you decided to play with it, Like Dad's gunn.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I'm sure that was the first inductee.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And the last. What if it was like snow in
a can, because they have that as well, that would
have been fine. That would make sense because like Trey said,
then that would be a manufactured thing meant for someone
to play with.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, because then you can, you know, still any time
of the year, you can build a snowman if you
have enough cans. And then also the underlying cancer that
comes with it. There's a lot of toys that they
give people in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
And that, to me is another trait of a toy
is whether or not there are any warnings attached to it.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yes, and you said the lightsaber? Yeah, yeah, which one
I mean? I mean I had a toy lightsaber when
I was a kid. There was just basically a flashlight
with a plastic thing you cook to the top. I
don't know, I mean it was that's the case. It
seems long overdue, but I'm wondering if there was a
(28:59):
newer version.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And the other thing is I don't I don't know,
I don't know what the you know, qualifications are for
the National Toy Hall of Fame, like for the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame and for Sports Hall of Fames.
You have to have been in the industry for a
certain period of time, or in sports Hall of Fames
you have to have been retired for a certain amount
of time to be eligible for toys. I don't know
(29:21):
what those requirements are.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
And do you have any siblings? No, So you just
had a lightsaber and no one to fight.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I had an extra one. That's actually how I made
my one of my first childhood friends.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
But yeah, okay, was gonna say, that's probably why you
disagree with it'st.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
This thing doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well, no, that's why I'm said it's long overdue. If
that's if that's oh, because I mean, yeah, I had
that forty years ago.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, yeah, and I would trade because I was technically
not an only child. But when my parents split up,
my sister stayed with my dad, I went with my mom.
Just broke the whole family right on the middle, real
real a hole, judge.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
And so.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I had a lightsaber thing. But I've really only played
with with with myself occasionally my cousin who's two years older.
We might you know, we were sort of you know,
playmates or whatever. But yeah, to Tray, it was mostly
me running around with a lightsaber toy by myself just
looking weird.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I feel you were playing more Spaceball than you were
Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It probably looked that way. Yeah, big help, but yeah
with my own ass.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Extra large lightsaber, da.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
That way. No other Jedi accidentally pick up my lightsaber.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
It's mine.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
It was Danny Kin Skywalker. Did you fight your imaginary friend?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yes? Uh, Timmy John was a hell of a sith
Lord Timmy John also known as Darth TJ.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Redneck Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Flying around his Tai tractor. I would watch that, remember
the old show on YouTube, Chad Vader.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah, I love that show.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Old school YouTube was a lot of fun for those
that don't know. If you want to go back old school,
then there's some good things to watch on old school YouTube,
not the least of which is Chad Vader, which is
Darth Vader's store manager brother on Earth grocery store manager.
And then there's also what was the police officer's named
(31:48):
Trey the retarded policeman, Yeah him. Great shows on old.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
YouTube, just you know, Redneck Star Wars. I just want
to see what princess is wearing, that's all. I would
watch it.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
For Daisy Dukes and like that little like halter top
thing that just covers the boobs, and.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I just see the gold bikini the whole time like that,
not even a Job of the Hut captive, just the
whole time, that's what she wears.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, the irony is for Redneck star Wars is. You
wouldn't have to change that movie that much with Job
of the Hut and her in the bikini, except instead
of it being a cult, instead of it being a
gold bikini, it would just have American flags on it.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
And then you can find Job of the Hut on
any episode of six hundred Pounds Life.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
While chugging cases of Natty light.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
That is the dark side.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, yeah, but I agree snow, I guess not because
it's not manufactured.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I agree with that.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Yeah, that is snow beat out snow beat out mud.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I don't know where mud falls on this list. And
you're right because I've played with a lot of mud
as a kid too, played with snow, played with mud sticks,
lots of sticks.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Yeah, okay, mud and sticks? Were you guys? It is
making bricks. What were you doing?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
No, silly mud pies?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Exactly what pies? Please explain?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Well, what you do is you go to the kitchen
and you get you one of those aluminum tins that
you put pies in, and you just put mud in
it and maybe decorated with a couple of pebbles.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Oh, because that's just sad. One day you'll be a
real pie.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Raj. Making a mud pie is not what's sad. It's eating.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
It tastes like Terry.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Cobbler if you close your eyes and wish really hard.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Don't forget. He was adopted.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
And there was a reason I came out and the
doctors recognized it immediately, like this kid's gonna eat mud.
Just go ahead, you don't want this one. Let's see
if you get lucky on the next one. Oh thanks, doc,
We really dodged a bullet there. For all things Treehouse,
(34:26):
go to Treehouse on their dot com. They were really
pretty after If you got you got good at it, right,
Jerry making the mud pies?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And if you really wanted to get creative, you could
turn it into a practical joke and put it in
the oven and switch it out for your grandma's pies
and see how long it takes anyone to notice. I
think that was probably close to a death sentence if
you did that. Yeah, that's when mom hit me with
my toy sticks. Uh find him, follow the show on
uh social media at Treehouse on air. For me, it's
(34:57):
at the Daniel Mallley. For Trey, it's at tree Turnhome
one for Rage at Comedian Rage. And for Jerry, it's
at that Jerry guy. We'll see next time right here
inside the Treehouse.
