Speaker 1 (00:17):
It is time to believe your warriors outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. That is Monday, August twenty fifth,
twenty twenty five. All right, I need your help to

(00:39):
make sure this list is current and accurate. All Right,
here we go a few years ago. Murder hornets then,
and these may not be in order. Murder hornets, radioactive wasps,

(01:04):
the frankin bunnies slash chutulu bunnies with the tentacles growing
out of their heads. Then last week radioactive shrimp at Walmart.
And as if all of that wasn't bad enough, now
we have to worry about zombie squirrels. But not just

(01:26):
any zombie squirrels. Oh No, I'm talking about zombie squirrels
covered in oozing wartz that have been spotted skulking through
America's backyards. Grizzly looking squirrels with puss filled wart like
tumors have been spotted across the United States. What is

(01:51):
this world coming to? Also? I can't help, but wonder
is Mother Nature dropping some hints?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, between tsunami's volcanic volcanic activity.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, hurricanes also m hm, and now zombie squirrels yeah,
which which sounds like night Shamalin's new movie that's going
to be his new crappy movie that he comes up with.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Can't wait for squirrel is it was a chipmunk nightmares.
Squirrels spotted in United States backyards spark concern. I mean,
there's a number of these headlines. Sightings of squirrels with
sores and tumors have sparked concern among users on social

(02:46):
media in recent years, with more disturbing looking squirrels spotted
across the United States and Canada in recent months. Meanwhile,
Mexico's gone given the strange growths on their bodies, these
squirrels have been dubbed zombies squirrels by people online and
other news outlets, like the rabbits with tentacle like growths
that also went viral recently. These squirrels are likely suffering

(03:09):
from a kind of virus. James Parkhurst, is a professor
of wildlife science and extension wildlife specialists at Virginia Tech,
told Newsweek I suspect that current reports of this ailment
have gotten an unrealistic level of attention due to the
grotesque appearance of affected animals, and the ease with which
isolated cases can be blown up to create fear or

(03:30):
anxiety via social media. Shut up, James, that's half the fun.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I just like how they say, and it's supposed to
be comforting. Oh, it's just a virus. Funny.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
You can't ask that.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I mean, it only takes one hungry hill billy and
we got a problem.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
One hungry hill billy's always a problem.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's two is when it becomes the hills have eyes.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
The hills have one eye? Uh is what that ish?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Wow. The appearance of the squirrels has drawn significant concern online,
with some deeming them a new nightmare after strange looking
rabbits last week were compared to something out of the
TV series The Last of Us, where the world is
taken over by a fungal infection. It's not yet clear
what's causing the squirrel's disturbing appearance, with some pointing to
squirrel pox and others thinking it could be squirrel fiber mitosis,

(04:30):
which is believed to be the more likely explanation. Both
conditions are caused by viruses closely associated with squirrels, although
squirrel pox is more common among red squirrels typically in
the United Kingdom. See here's the problem. They're jumping continents now.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
So I thought you were squirrel pox is a thing.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I honestly, Trey, I'm with you. I thought Newsweek was
trying to be cute, but apparently squirrel pox is real.
By the way, Raj, if you, Trey, if you, if
I die of squirrel pox, make fun me until like
come back to life, and then kill me again.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh yeah, there's no doubt your obituary is gonna be terrible.
Just the amount of fun that we will have with you,
because I just want to know how you contracted the
squirrel box.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
How'd you get the how did you get the puss
filled sore virus from the squirrel.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Dan on an Island? Well, really doesn't.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
For me to catch the squirrel pox, I would have
to be stateside.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
You would have had to order it here.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Sued though, with your in your obituary, the squirrel would
have bitten your taint.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
And not my nuts.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
No, I like taint better.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Unexpected.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, just you don't know where it was going.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
He's gonna hide your nuts.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
He did. He The reason why he didn't get my
nuts is I was playing off the state stereotype and
had those covered, and then he surprised me by going
around the backside a little bit. Uh yeah, No, here,
here on Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, there
are no squirrels. We do have mongoose, though, So if
I end up dying from mongoose mange, that at least
sounds slightly cooler.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I don't know if it sounds cooler. It just sounds
like you did something really bad to a mongoose.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
It does, but keeping in mind, mongoose kill snakes. At
least at least at least I would have been taken
out by something that takes out snakes and stuff, not
a squirrel that just you know, hides nuts.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Do you want it to be wiley, O'Malley or.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Meet me.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yes and put on my tombstone? Yikes?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
That's all your tombstone is gonna be. Is a sign
that just says yikes.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Maybe a photo of me with a little inset photo
of the uh, the squirrel, puckst squirrel.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Dan and the mongoose that sounds like a morning that
nobody wants to listen to, or.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
A parable that I should have been read as a kid.

tree House Today. Thank you very much. So we were
just talking about squirrel pox and how that's a real thing,
and how zombie squirrels are infiltrating the backyards of North
America with pus filled wart like faces and spreading fear
and panic everywhere they go. I do not have, as

(08:40):
far as I know, squirrel pox, but I did recently
learn that my household has COVID.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yes, our first bout of COVID was early twenty twenty one.
Now the second documented cases in the O'Malley household of
COVID two. So you guys remember last week when I
was kind of coffee and stuff. Yeah, it turns out
that's probably COVID. The reason why I know that is

(09:11):
because Tara then got sick just just a few days ago,
and in all fairness, whatever she caught from me, she
got it worse, which I'm sorry when youre in a relationship,
I feel bad about that. I feel guilty. It's like, Okay,
clearly I did something. I got it, and I brought
it home, she got it, and then she got it worse.

(09:31):
Like she's got like one of the symptoms that you
described as, like you know, I have it, Like her
throat is just like like a razor's grating and kind
of a thing.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's exactly like where I think maybe y'all had different things.
Is this new variant of COVID because I've know Tera
would be the third person I know that's come down
with it. Say, it's brutal as far as it just
like you said, said, it feels like you've got razors
in your throat. Like that's how bad it hurts.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah. So she went to the doctor and learned they
gave She gave him all the symptoms and stuff because
she's like, I gotta go to the doctor for this.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
This is bad.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
She goes to the doctor. The doctor's like, let's do
a test. The test comes back, Congratulations, you have COVID,
which means I probably had it and I gave it
to her. So these two variants that she had Gary
look up Gary's chat GPT not the doctor because that'd
be crazy. Gary just put it very succinctly. Two of
these variants one horse or raspy voice, sometimes chest pain

(10:33):
or sleepiness. Common symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue,
body aches. That's the stratus variant. Then there's the Nimbus variant,
which is razor blade sharp sore throat, fever, cough, fatigue,
GI symptoms. This all now makes sense to me. I

(10:56):
didn't have the razor throat thing that she does, but
I definitely had the squirts. So I'd like to tip
my hat to COVID for being the type of virus
that doesn't just screw up one system of your body,
It'll hit multiple all at the same time. Can you
not breathe, Let's make let's give you the squirts and

(11:16):
your guts on top of it.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
The boosters or any because I mean I'm vaccinated with
all the boosters and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
So I mean we got vaccinated back, like right, we
got vaccinated the week before we got COVID, which is
what we think helped us get through it a little
bit easier because we had some fairly bad cases. I
mean obviously not dead and not hospitalized, but bad enough.
Now this bout is interesting, Like Trey, hearing you describe

(11:47):
it from someone else you knew that had one of
these new variants, it sounds like that's what Tara's got.
I had, I think a slightly lesser one, or at
least one that didn't hit me as hard. But it
came with the squirts, which is no fun. But at
least now I know why my body was sort of
revolting because I was trying to figure Okay, did I
change my diet? What did I do? I'm drinking less?
What's the deal?

Speaker 2 (12:08):
So Anyway, I somehow still have never gotten COVID as
far as you know, I've every time I've been sick
since COVID started, like i've and they came out with
a test, but I know I never got sick in
the initial first year. Yeah, and then after that after

(12:30):
they came out of test, every time I've been sick,
I've been tested and.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
We took we got sick the one time in twenty
twenty one, and then any subsequent times we were sick,
we would take a test just to see. And I
think this is the most recent test that I can
recall as having because honestly, when I was sick, it
really just kind of felt like my annual head slash
chest cold and again like I usually got that. I

(12:56):
usually get that once a year, and I figure, okay,
it was time. But reading about some of these other symptoms, like, okay,
that explains.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
The yeah, the one time I.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Rea and why I drink all the peptio in the house.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Which was it was New Year's Eve twenty three, twenty
four that I was so sick. I thought, okay, this
must be COVID, and I got tested and it was
the flu.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Which knock on wood for me, I've never had the flu.
I don't know how that is. All we gotta do,
Trey is combine our genes and we will be super
impervious to some of these viruses. I can't say that
about squirrel pox that may get us. Anyway.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
I was gonna say, you're just gonna die of mongoose range.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Ricky Ricky, Ricky TV Tavy got me, little bastard.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
But you've had the flu. I guarantee it. There's there's
no way you've gone through life without the flu. That's
an impossibility.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
You can say that all you want, doctor Sharmah, But no,
I have never had the flu.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Maybe when you were younger, and you probably don't remember it,
because you know.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
I asked. I asked. I asked my mom and she
was like, no, I don't think you ever had the flu.
Partly because I was so sick with other stuff up
until the age of five. I think the flu may
have looked at me and go, oh, those kid's got problems,
just leave him alone.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Flu was like, he's too stupid to know what this is.
He's gonna die of this.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Seriously. Up until like, because I think I was like
five or six, was when I started getting allergy shots
because I went to the doctor because I had all
these issues. I couldn't keep food down. Okay, here's how
bad I was as a kid when it came to
eating and then throwing up. And I still remember this,
so it's not like this is just a false memory.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
I'm making it up.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
I would throw up in the middle of the night
so often in my bed that I eventually stopped waking
up my parents to help clean it up. I just
saw what they did and did that. Now. Granted, they
got sick of it after a while, ironically, and they
would just put down a bath towel underneath me, and
here you go. So that's what I would do when

(15:11):
I would throw up my dinner a few hours later
in my bunk bed. Like we all they're going to
do is go to the bathroom and throw a bath
towel on it. So That's what I'm just gonna do,
and then I'll tell them about it in the morning.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
He isn't the other bunk.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
That was Timmy John, my imaginary friend.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I mean, could it be that you were you were
an orphan? I mean, what what what did the guys
in the white lab coats say? When when they're observing you, was.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
It the oatmeal that you keep asking for?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Look at that kid again. Oh he's all over the
walls again. Good lords seal him up because the lab
coats were white mistakenly. I'm sure they learned that lesson
once and like put him in a box.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, but I guarantee you you've had flu like symptoms before.
It has to have happened. You may not like you,
I would think, so you may not have like joint
you could think. Also, I mean, you don't have to
have all the symptoms. You don't have to have joint
pain or high fever, but you could have like a
cold and it could be the flu as well.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
I guess if that's the case, and then it would
certainly be possible because I've had plenty of colds in
my life. But whenever I hear someone describe the flu,
I have never had all those symptoms like so many
people describe.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
No. I So I had it last week and the
joint pain was just I think twelve hours and then
the joint pain was gone. And I'm immune compromised, so
it would be it would last longer for me. So
you probably get it, you know. Two three hours. Joints
hurt for a second, you get a little headache, you
get a little sweaty. Then you get there.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Just describing a hangover, I just a hangover, and a
middle aged hangover is everything you just described. That's that's
all that.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
And you get mongoose mange and then you know, and then.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Calling to work, Yeah, it's totally the flu.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
You're still drumm from the night before. I didn't have
a flu, so I think damn had a stroke. I
don't know why it's talking like that.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
At least I bother to come up with a half
decent excuse as opposed to, you know, not showing up
to work and having the boss call and go like,
what's going on?

Speaker 3 (17:25):
I have cotton mar We'll just put a studio in
your house.

I saw a story and I thought there's no way
this can be true. And then I saw the video

(18:22):
and found out it is, in fact true. A woman
took to TikTok to apologize after her severe diarrhea forced
an entire flight to be canceled. Put another way, you've
probably had diarrhea, But have you ever had diarrhea so

(18:44):
bad that it canceled a whole ass flight.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
I can't. I can't say that I have.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I haven't either, And as far as I know, there's
only one because she admitted to it. She took to
TikTok and admitted her severe diarrhea forced an entire United
Airlines flight to be canceled. Her name is Megan Reinertson.
She's an actress and a nanny. She says it all
started with an undercooked burger in Portugal, which left her

(19:14):
battling intense food poisoning. After flying back to the United States,
she boarded another flight from Indianapolis. When the situation escalated
mid takeoff. Ignoring the seat belt sign, she rushed to
the lavatory and endured twenty minutes of non stop diarrhea

(19:34):
full body sweating and cramping, followed by vomiting into a
bag provided by a flight attendant. Just imagine the joy
that flight attendant had to open that door and said here, and.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
She got on social media to admit this.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
In a full video front facing. This is how badly
she felt, because again this canceled the entire flight. That's
how bad this situation was. Her diarrhea was so bad
it canceled the flight mid air. The mess was so
bad that the plane's next departure was scrapped and a

(20:17):
hazmat team in full protective gear was brought in to
deep clean the bathroom. Her story, which was viewed over
twenty million times, apologized to anyone whose travel plans she ruined, saying,
I am a biohazard patient zero.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I mean there was a day where these are things
that you know, you just hope no one ever recognizes
you and you bury.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, And honestly, if that's me, if my diarrhea is
so bad that it's canceling connecting flights because they have
to scrub the plane, I am not coming out of
that bathroom until we've landed and everyone on board is gone,
and you put a hood over my face like I'm
being kidnapped, so no one can identify me.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, but you fly spirits, so all you have to
do is just pay a little extra. Just just take that.
That's why I called the big seat.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
I'm gonna poop in style.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
I'm gonna use the big seat in there. I'm gonna
stand in there the whole time. Yeah, that's a I
can't imagine if it got that bad that the pilot
could smell it in the cockpit. Yeah, And it was like,
you know what, we're going back to Indianapolis. Who wants

(21:42):
to see the Colts. Let's go watch some football. We're
not doing this one. This lady is gonna get off
this plane.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Isn't where the cults play? Is it still called Lucas
Oil Stadium?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
It's Castro ol Stadium.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Now.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
I can't imagine. She's got to be single right like this.
You don't take the social media and talk to this
with a husband behind you.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
I don't know if she is single or not, but
I will say this, she's a cute girl. Oh uh oh,
let me have the video because she is certainly a
little tainted.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Did you see Trade's face and goes that's all right.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
I mean, look, I like some people get marked for
certain things, and she got skid marked.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Could wear the.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Brown letter for the rest of her life. Knowing that
she had diarrheas so bad she canceled flights.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
I can't wait to see trade her on the first
date when trade in hazmat suit. I don't know how
this is going to out here.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
I'll pull up a photo for you guys real quick.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
There are some things I do not will not ever
discuss talk about with. Is she crazy?

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Oh? Yeah, she's dead behind the eyes. Do you see that?

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Well, it's that photo was taken. It's a screenshot of
her video that she posted on TikTok.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, but still you can see the I mean trace
said it before the picture came up. Fully, it's such
a crazy Yeah, she's dead behind the eyes.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Well, Megan here swear she's not a monster. The blonde
is simply a frequent flyer whose sudden bout with uncontrollable
diarrhea allegedly caused United Airlines to call off a takeoff
so that has Matt specialists could clean up her massive
blow up. An apologetic Reinderdson announced over twenty million TikTok
views I single handedly got a flight out of Indianapolis canceled.

(23:55):
And this is my favorite part of what she says
in this nearly ten minute long video. She says, and
I quote, if that flight cancelation changed the trajectory of
your life in a really negative way, I'm so sorry,
and she adds, but it wasn't without pain and suffering.

(24:15):
So not just I'm sorry that your flight plans got canceled,
but changed the trajectory of your life. How bad is
that diarrhea?

Speaker 3 (24:27):
I missed my mom's funeral? And can you imagine being
the pilot, uh, your captain speaking, We're gonna go ahead
and turn around because that lady's gross.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Sorry to tell you this, folks, but perhaps you've noticed
the slight disturbance in the front of the aircraft.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
There's been a mild explosion, but it's mostly from her.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I mean, I'd love to give you more information, but
if I'm being honest, I think I'm partly barred due
to hippop regulations.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
She couldn't wait to get on her carnival clue cruise.

You mentioned it. You said the magic phrase of the day,
Carnival Cruise. I'm only hoping that one of you has

(26:31):
not seen or heard about the most recent kerfuffle aboard Carnival.
Are you familiar with the wild brawl that broke out
on the Carnival Cruise ship over chicken tenders?

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I am not.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Well, then that's just kissmet Trey. Because you teased something
that you had no idea was out there. It's a
very very real thing that happened. A disturbing video captured
the moment that wild Carnival cruise ship brawl broke out
over chicken tenders.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
I mean outbreaks on a Carnival cruise are like shootings
in Tulsa.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Why I'll be there four and a half hours. I
just brought some tenders too.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Has the two shows at the Looney bind also known
as Carnival Cruise Midwest, Disturbing footage captured the moment a
massive melee broke out aboard a Carnival cruise ship among
fuming passengers seemingly upset over chicken tenders. The violence among
about two dozen brawlers erupted aboard the Sunshine at around

(27:50):
two am Monday. How your parents said nothing good happens
after midnight. Now apply that to a Carnival cruise and
last call.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Carnival Cruz is now the waffle House of the ocean,
all right.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
I think we're starting to be unfair for these other
businesses being lumped. You know, It's like Carnival Cruise is
the waffle house of the ocean. Carnival Cruise is the
spirit Airlines of the ocean. I think the common denominator
here is Carnival Cruise, and we need to reverse this stereotype.
Spirit Airlines might be the Carnival cruise of the skies,

(28:31):
waffle House might be the carnival cruise of diners. I
think it's unfair for some of these other entities to
be lumped in in this fashion when clearly the worst
culprit is carnival cruise.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Somebody's gonna get smothered and covered, and we're comparing that
with waffle House.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
At least in waffle House, the cooks fight back.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
It's the Tulsa of the ocean.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
I don't think that's fair. I think it's I think
it's more fair to say that Tulsa is the Carnival
cruise of Oklahoma or the Midwest.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
I've always gone on Norwegian, so I don't I've never
had an experience with Carnival. But it's in the namee.
You don't know what you're gonna get. You're on the Midway,
That's what this is.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Footage that was released online, someone can be heard saying
where the is security.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Asleep?

Speaker 1 (29:41):
That was said as passengers traded blows and slammed each
other to the cruise ship floor. Multiple security guards actually
could be seen trying to break up the fight, with
one overwhelmed officer fleeing the chaos and reaching for his
radio as shoes went flying. So just imagine one day
you're like, you know what I'd like to do. I'd

(30:03):
like to I'd like to work on a cruise ship.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
That sounds like fun.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm gonna I'm going to go for the easiest job
possible security. What easier job could there possibly be in
the world than a security guard on people's vacation. Everyone's
in a great mood.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
I mean, what's you know how easy it would be
to throw someone in the ocean. You don't want to
have anybody, I.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Would imagine then maybe your main objective as cruise ship
security is to establish a perimeter to make sure no
one gets thrown overboard. Because they ran out of chicken
tenders at two am. You need to keep it contained,
keep it in front of you.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
How good were those tenders.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Also a very valid question.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
They're tenders, They're they're their second rate.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Just you don't know that I do.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
There is listen when it comes to fry chicken bone in.
That is the only way it's true, Like tinders are
just just horrible of imitations.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
I wonder what you're saying is chicken tenders are just
long nuggets.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
M h. And he agreed with you.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
He's nodding like like the light bulb. But I'm like, yeah,
that is what they are.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
I'm opening a news store called long Nuggets.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
What are you doing today? I'm going to war with
who raising canes? What are you selling long long nuggets?
L FN. I can't wait to see your mascot.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
We're right next to the long John Silvers. I'm roight
from Long Nuggets. Like you would never have me back
on this show again?

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yes, I would, because you would be our title sponsor.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
This part of the Treehouse is brought by the Long Nuggets.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Look Raisin Canes, super chicks and long Nuggets. I can't
wait to try the special.

good spot to spread the word, spread awareness about your
new chicken product. Will happily promote your long nuggets here

(33:47):
inside the treehouse.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Colonel Sanders, can I be like General Charma, Sergeant Sergeant sergeant.

Speaker 1 (33:57):

It's that it's just the oration.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Okay, that's what I said, Sergeant Sharma. Sergeant Sharma's long nuggets.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Brown with with with with Danny's dipping.

that you get with them.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Or Tray's twat waffles. Yeah, so that's actually a pretty
interesting restaurant. Cons have you got long nuggets on the right,
Tray's twat waffles on the left, and Danny's dips is
the sauce to combine the two to bridge the gap.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
That's not a good that's not that's not a gap
you want to bridge, brother, that just sounds really gross.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, but at two a m oh yeah, on a
carnival arm. We will have a line around the boat
without a doubt, So be sure to advertise right here
inside the tree House. If you're interested, shoot us an email.
Treehouse on Air at gmail dot com. That's Treehouse on

(35:18):
Air at gmail dot com. Today is Monday, August twenty fifth,
twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. These
people share birthdays with the invention of the long nugget.
Lucky then the star of the live action Mulan movie.

(35:41):
Ifelu is thirty seven today, I realize that Disney's got
a lot of flak lately from their remakes of the
animated films into live action things, and some people, you know,
I'm like, oh, it's too wild. Well, Muland really didn't
change much from the anime version to the live action one.

(36:03):
It was already a story about a daughter doing something
in a man's world, and then they just carried that
through into the film. And because of Disney doing certain things,
I feel like almost all of these remakes have had
some sort of issue.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
I like the Lion King is the exception.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I liked the live action. I just I don't know
that I understood the purpose of it money. Well, I mean,
but the first one I like, The Lion King is.
And I'm not a big cartoon person like as far
as but the Lion King to me is one of
the classic Disney films.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
It is. Yeah, I've never seen it. I've never seen it.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (36:48):
How are you a stay at community? How did you
ever live in Hollywood and you haven't seen some of
the classics.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yeah, I think the only one of besides you know,
as a kid, my dad like took a Fantasia. I
remember seeing that in the theater. I think I was
like two or three years old.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
I was going to say, too young to understand that
you need to see that movie on drugs, as far
as that's what I've heard. While keeping in mind, that
movie kind of freaked me out. Along with the drunk
scene in Pinocchio. Those mess me up to the point
where I didn't want to do drugs and watch those movies.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
My dad's favorite movie was The Jungle Book, so we
would go almost every week when he had I think
it was a Friday he had off, yeah, and we'd
go see The Jungle Book. But then after that, I
think Aladdin was the last thing I saw only because
the Tiger and Aladdin has my name. The Tiger's name
is Roger Yep.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
So all the Disney live action remakes of the animated
classics is the fault of The Jungle Book. When Jon
Favreau did it years ago, he went to Disney or whatever,
it was like, Hey, I want to do a live
action thing at the Jungle Book. They're like okay, And
a lot of the stuff that they did on that
film carried over into the Mandala or like certain production
elements and things and how they did and how they

(38:02):
shot certain things. But that movie was so successful as
a live action remake, Disney's like, let's do that.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
With all of them. Yeah, people should like not like
Disney because of the anti semitism Walt Disney had. That's
where we should start.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
You mean, but like you mean like the O G
blackface characters in Mickey's World, Yes, going down to mississ
Hip our uncle Remus.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
I mean, there's a song on the South that's still
out there.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Man, you gotta look, you gotta look for it.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yeah. So if you if you want to find a
reason to not like Disney, live action remakes should shouldn't
be the reason.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, and the irony is like, if you really want
to find and you know, an original version of the
Song of the South. In order to find it, Disney's
probably hidden it somewhere extremely deep and a cotton.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Pat We're in the back of the Trump Bible.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
So anyway, a happy birthday to ye Felu. She is
thirty eight today. Actually sorry, she is thirty eight. She
was the star of the Mulan remake. And I want
to make sure that I throw this birthday in because, man,
you talk about someone that's had a very interesting twelve months.
Blake Lively is thirty eight years old today, not only
the star of Gossip Girl, she's married to Ryan Reynolds

(39:30):
and had a little little dust up with her co
stars slash Director from the movie she put out last
year right after the dead Pool and Wolverine movie came out,
which is still ongoing by the way, and in that
time managed to become really really, really really good friends
with Taylor Swift and end up as a track on
Taylor Swift's new album We're assuming it's about her that's

(39:51):
titled Ruin the Friendship Hell ofvi Here Blake.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Okay, so they're not friends anymore.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
I don't think so. I think Taylor from what I read,
Taylor got mad about feeling like Blake kind of used
her in a PR stunt.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Yeah. Oh no, an actress used a singer in a
PR stunt. Oh when has that ever happened? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Okay, So Blake Lively thirty eight years old today. Other birthdays, say,
if there's anything else really worth Mitchell's she played Summer
on the OC. Rachel Bilson is forty four. Kel Mitchell
from keenanan Kel is forty seven.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
He still looks like he's twenty one.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Good for him.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Alexander Scar's Guard forty nine today. He was one of
the true Blood vampire guys. After that, he had a
very interesting role as his take in a Tarzan movie.
I think was it called Gray Skull or maybe it
was just Tarzan whatever. It's actually of all the Tarzan movies,
I'm not I've seen pretty much all of them, even
though I don't love the film. I don't know why

(41:01):
I keep watching them. When they came out. I liked
his version. It was interesting.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah, but you can say that about a lot of
movies that you watch. I don't know why I keep
watching them. But I do. That's kind of your motto.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
And he's also he's one of John scars Guard's kids.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
The scars Guard clan.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
That sounds like something I should be frightened by.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
It's just on the name. We all should.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
You know the scars Guards.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
It is interesting though, because you're talking about like like
the like the two sons. I mean they're playing some
interesting roles, like when they all get together for things giving.
You know, you've got Alexander Scar's guard. He can say, well,
I played Tarzan. Well, then his brother Bill can be like,
I played penny Wise, the clown.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
It's like.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
And Dad goes Dad, and Dad just whips it out
on the table and goes Marvel.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Uh and what did he whip out? The check?

Speaker 6 (42:02):
And his.

Uh raj I apologize. I probably should have started this
show today with this, but I got sidetracked by zombie

(42:55):
squirrels and COVID and what happens all these things. How
was your big date? Uh?

Speaker 3 (43:02):
It was. It was lovely. Uh, it was very nice.
We had nice dinner and nice conversation. It was a yeah.
I mean, I don't think there were like tremendous sparks flying,
but it was very uh casual, comfortable and and and
I really enjoyed it. So we're gonna We're gonna do
it again.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Was there a bill at the end of the date,
the Russian or from the restaurant either one?

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Uh? Yes, there was a I paid the dinner bill. Okay, good, Yeah,
she didn't ask for anything, all right.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Well, because there were some questions because of the way
that the two of you met, in the place that
you met, and the way you described her. And again,
I love you, you're you're a great friend. I've known
you for over twenty years. But from everything you described,
this woman had no business going out with you.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
That is correct. Uh, to the to the point where
like we went to we went to this place that
I frequent here in Addison, and even one of the guys.
That was we run out on the patio by the
on the bar, and one of the guys was like,
that's she's with you and I was like, yes, I
don't know why either, but uh yeah, so okay.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Let me see if I can guess. Let me see
if I can guess the date here. So you met
at Stadium Cafe and Addison, one of the most romantic
bar in all of North Texas. Yes, I'm pretty sure
the carpet in that place, which I love, by the way,
not the carpet. I love Stadium Cafe, but I'm pretty
sure the carpet, what little of it is left, is
older than all three of us combined.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
I do love that bar. Uh, that's where you met.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Mm I just want him to go watch the X Games.
And I was just talking to this young kid who
was like, I was saying, who wants to get into
producing and music and stuff like this, And this lady
just kept bumping into me with her boobs, with her boots.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
And she's extremely attractive and Russian. And she came to
one of your shows and brought her also attractive in
Russian friends, to which I just started assuming Trey that
she's an escort gotta be because why is she missing
with raj H. So anyway, uh, we still don't know
for sure that she's not, but at least she didn't
charge you for the hangout. So the date that you

(45:23):
actually went on was in Addison. You said you're at
a bar and you were sitting on a patio. Did
you take her? Was it? Did you take her to quarterbar?

Speaker 2 (45:30):
I did not.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
We went to Love and Tana.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Okay, monkey Duck was going to be my next answer
because they got a little patio area in the back.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
We went to Love and Tana. I had some uh
she had I had diet coke. She had a couple
of margarita's and some street tapos. And yeah, it was
about two hours long. It was a lovely, great conversation.
So at the end, I said, uh, you know, I
gotta run. I gotta go meet somebody else to do

(45:58):
some stuff for like, because I do go back for
the homeless. So I was meeting up with somebody else
to get some I give cards that they were offering,
and I was like, hey, I got to run and
go do something else, but I'll be I'll be back
on Sunday. Do you want to do this again. And
she gave me a very sweet kiss on the cheek
and said absolutely dah. And I kissed her on the

(46:19):
cheek and she's like, so that's and she said it.
She goes, so that's it. I go till Sunday.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
You're either very stupid or you're brilliant.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
I would like to think brilliant, my friend.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
You're either very stupid or very sinister.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Oh I'm sinister. I know, I knew, I knew exactly
what I did. Like, that's it. I was like, till Sunday.
People want more.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Yeah. Well, then also you get the element of danger
thrown in because you're telling her I'll be back on Sunday,
even though I'm going to Tulsa.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
I might not be you might speak at my funeral.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
But she knows if you come back from Tulsa. She's like, oh,
he survived Bratva.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
I mean she's also from Ukraine. So she was like,
Tulsa's nothing, buddy.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Keith, Tulsa whatever.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
I mean, Yeah, you could have, you know, like the
soldier going off to war, going I might not be back,
making a night to remember.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Gosh, just playing the long game.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
But you can't say that when you're going to Tulsa.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Yeah you can.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah, really to.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
The lady from Ukraine like, no, you can't.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
You just send her episodes of the first forty eight.
By the time you get back, she'll jump on you
like you've you've made it.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
She can show me clips from CNN, like you have
fun in Tulsa. I'm like, but no, she was very sweet.
It was it was lovely. We had a great time. Yeah,
overall I thought, she.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
Can't wait to see you again.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
That's what That's what she said. So and then she
you know, we've texted back and forth, so there's still
you know, the interest is still there. So let's see
what happens.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
Fingers are crossed for you, for her and for traveling
to Tulsa.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
So let's see. We're gonna have dinner on again next week,
So let's see what happens. It might it might move
to something else, or it could be just a really
lovely friendship.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
If it is Trey, I can already see Trey's face
and his thoughts behind his eyes. If this turns out
to be a beautiful friendship, then you got introduced to Trey.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Oh and her friends that came out with her. I mean,
they're all and everybody would be right to be like
I think they're escorts. They're not. They're not escorts.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
But how do they feel about fifty one year old
men with a three pound huaha?

Speaker 3 (48:54):
Oh, I'm sure there's two of them that are. I
don't know, Trey's tight, Like, are you like brunette blonde?
Which one's I'm a blonde, big boob guy and that's
what she is. And then there's her two friends were
brunettes also from Ukraine. Beautiful, beautiful ladies. So maybe we

(49:18):
could triple date. You can find somebody who can bring Daisy,
and somebody can have a date with Daisy Knew and
me and an Italian. Yeah, I'm in all right.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
I can't wait. I can't wait to hear about.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Any of this.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
This is fun.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
See I'm your Daiity trail.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Worst case scenario. I'll just bring a bunch of pizzas
