Speaker 1 (00:26):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan, O'Malley. Along with
Trey Trendholme and Raj Sharma, there is a new troubling
trend out of China. Adult sized pacifiers are becoming a
(00:47):
trend among young people in China as a way to
cope with stress, anxiety, insomnia, and maybe even to quit smoking.
Psychologists link the habit it to a regression phenomenon where
individuals find comfort in childhood like objects. Couldn't you just
(01:08):
cuddle a teddy rucksman.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Or you don't want to walk? You don't want to
walk around with one of those?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Somehow I would judge you less for walking around with
a teddy ruxsman that's reading to you, versus a pacifier
in your mouth. Health experts caution the prolonged use can
cause dental misalignment, jaw problems, you clastal damage, and even
pose choking or breathing risks during sleep. So if you
are going to go the adult pacifier route, don't sleep
(01:39):
with it in.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
You knows as much as we like to say as
gen X, how soft gen Z is I feeling? If
you're our agent and grew up in China. You really
think this younger generation has it made.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
We had dinnamin square, you have pacifiers.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, that's a solid point, man. That is that is
a hell of a generational drop off right there.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, you're not going to war with a pacifier in
your mouth.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You know, y'all have mobile phones. We didn't have electricity.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Oh and look, this is this is something that I
just know is going to jump across the ocean, because
anything that starts as a trend one place will catch
on thanks to the Internet and social media, and some
people will start doing it here. So now I'm just
setting the clock to see how long it is before
I see my first young adult with a pacifier walking around.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I thought that that we've already done that whole Like
that was a rave thing for a while, as you know,
they had pacifiers in their mouths.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Because yeah, that but that was for drugs. Well yeah,
that was for Gen X and millennials doing drugs at
a rave. That's when they did the passivefiers. Now we're
looking at gen Z doing this new trend just as
a coping mechanism for life.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The pacifier Does it work? Like I don't know how
that would relieve stressing anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Roger, why don't you be our correspondent and give it
a give it a whirl.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I will do it.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'll see, but if it helps me cope with a
life dealer dud, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We're calling nov Yellow. It's been a while since he's
been in here, and now we've got a good dealer
dud for him. We're gonna have you on dealer dud
maybe on the tin as well. And to see whether
or not an adult pacifier works?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Okay, and where can one find one of those?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Uh as an unfault, I'll say Amazon, just.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm sure they've got it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Out.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's an official Amazon product. It's going to be one
of those third party things. But I'll be curious to
see if a not only does Amazon carry it, but
can you get it in twenty four hours? Showing it
to me adult pacifier on Amazon? How quickly can you
get it? Raj? Are you a prime member?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I am a Prime.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Member tomorrow overnight?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, yeah, so you have to suffer through one more day, Raj,
and then tomorrow I'll stress stress and anxiety free with
your brand new adult pacifier.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
They walk around with it too, I want you to
I have no shame.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Put it on a chain so it's around your neck,
so you have it when you need it and then
right there when you got it. Do they have any
certain designs, like certain colors? Are any of them branded?
Like maybe ones like Marvel or DC Like maybe you
want to suck on a hulk Pacifier's.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Say there's a magic.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That it's not the first Avenger. I choose no Johansson woman.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I was gonna say Captain America, but okay.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
America's asked passivefier.
Speaker 2 (05:14):

Uh?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
A white sheet?
Speaker 2 (05:43):

to go outside in the backyard and start putting together
some ideas for folks that you know, want to use
their backyard more and they just don't know what to
do with it. They thought they, you know, it was
really cool when they went to some friend's house and
they have, you know, a nice extended patio and it's
got to cover on it and they're able to go
out there and watch TV and they have a little

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Uh, yesterday on the show, we were talking about Jasmine
who had called in and left of less left of
Jesus Christ. Jasmine called left us a voicemail thank you,
Dan h on our Treehouse Talkback asking if you stomp
the broken bar soap down the drain, does that count
(08:59):
as well awful stomping? We all said no, it's pooor
or no got But then Raj, you said there was
something else about that that surprised you.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I would have h look looking at the two
of you, like, Dan, you're a shower gel guy like
I can tell that, and Trey I would have assumed
would have been a bar soap guy.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
No, I can't. You know, when you wear like the
Lufa exfoliating gloves, you have to have the gel soap.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You you have loofa gloves. Oh yeah, oh this is
getting so good.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
It really is. And this is an important lesson for
you to learn. Don't judge a book by its cover.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That is true. I'm guilty of that right now because uh,
he just I mean you look at trade and he's
like manly man right, I want to have some bar soap,
maybe some Irish spring.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
But I do love Irish spring, you know shower gel,
but no, no, no bar soap. Interesting. I actually your
stuff is more moisturizing.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
But to make sure that the Lufa glove does its
job properly.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, well, you know you gotta moisturize your skin.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's that's key.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I have.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I have.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
If you think I'm a bar sup guy, then you
would really be shocked by my skincare routine.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Okay, I think we need to tour. I think we
need a tour of your bathroom and your medicine cabinet
and oh you know what we need. We need trade
to do one of those get Ready with Me trend videos.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh yeah, I gotta see how you, uh, how you
prepare for the for the evening.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, Trey skincare routine. Get Ready with Me?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So do you have a moisturizer that you use?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Okay, of course he does remember the time that that
he told the date that he moisturizes, and she said
she didn't want to date him anymore because he wasn't
manly enough.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Did she know about the Loofah glove or did you
just save that one?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And I think you knew about that one and it's
gotten I've you know after fifty especially, you know there's
there's serums, there's creams, there's all sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That Now do you have two loof of gloves or
do you? Michael Jackson? Just just what it's two?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I know why there's two? What one's for body, for
general body and two is for the undercarriage area?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh gotcha?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah you have one is the general surface glove. Number
two is the crevices glove. Okay am I right?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah? This is so eye open it I would I
with tray. I was like bar soap, washcloth, like that's
what I saw. But he's showered. Jel loofa hands exfoliation
is key? Just put one on and move walk in
the shower. Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Is that is? This?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Is this going to be part of your process for
Thursday night for your Daity Trail event the thirty five
plus singles mixer on the Katie Trail. Are you gonna
use your exfoliating loof of gloves and your skincare routine
before you go out?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I mean I use the exfoliating gloves every time I
shower so yes, and then definitely yeah, I have to.
You have to get ready.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You're gonna have to look your best because you're probably
gonna be one of the older people at the event.
The good news is because of this skincare routine, you're
not gonna look it. Yeah, because I mean look at
look at him right now, Roger's he's he's practically dewey.

That's at Treehouse on Air, and give the Treehouse Show
a follow today. Little People, Big Payday. Okay, Little People
(13:53):
Big Payday. Short OnlyFans creators are stomping their taller ride
with one four foot star earning over one hundred thousand
dollars per month. Little People, Big pay Day. When it
comes to raking in cash on OnlyFans. There's new data
(14:15):
from super Creator. It reveals that shorter women are stomping
all over their taller rivals. They earn up to thirty
four percent more subscribers with fans who spend thirty to
forty five percent more per interaction and stick around nearly
twice as long. Oh the irony. It's pretty impressive when
(14:41):
you think about it. Erica Calabreeze or Calibrasic. Not sure
how she says it, Not sure if anyone else really cares.
But she's a four foot tall Only Fans star, and
she is absolutely raking it in. The twenty five year
old from Tampa, Florida boasts eight hundred and nine thousand
Instagram followers and says her petite stature has a major
factor in a six figure per month business. She says
(15:05):
she says, I had two options. Either use my height
to my advantage and make something of it, or give
into what society has stereotyped little people to be, which
is just which is just a punching bag.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
For comedic relief. Could be a little bit of foreshadowing there.
Nobody's laughing at her now, though. According to the story
from The New York coast. Even as the site becomes
more oversaturated, According to her, she's able to consistently reel
in well over six figures per month. This pint size
powerhouse says the fan requests are just as crazy as
(15:37):
the paychecks.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Are you surprised that little people are hitting big paydays
on OnlyFans?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
No? I mean so my ex her entire family is
little people, And.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm say her entire family was on only fans.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Hindsight's twenty twenty day. They should have been. But no,
I mean and beautiful. I mean, I think that's great.
I mean, some people have a weird fetish thing maybe,
but I don't know. Good for her, man, one hundred
thousand dollars a month, good for her.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I'm at the point now where when you start hearing
about the dollar amounts that some people are making on
these adult sites OnlyFans or whatever else there might be
out there.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Look, I know this stigma has slowly dissipated over the
years about sex workers, adult performers, things like that.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
It's not it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I mean, it's more mainstream than it used to be. Yeah,
right now, granted, we still have guys that have their
companion dolls and when they're done with them. They're too
ashamed to take them to the dump, so they throw
them in the river for the authorities to find. But
still adult content and stuff is more mainstream now we're
all kind of aware of it. We don't adjit as
(17:00):
harshly as we used to, and there's still negative sentiment
out there. But honest to god, when you hear someone
making one hundred grand a month just basically being a
cam model, I mean, my hat kind of goes off
to you. It is like, go for it. Get that bag.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's hard for her to carry that bag, but still
she will counter.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
She can afford a regular hype person to carry it
around for her.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You take that bag and you put it on top
of the fridge and just watch.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Now that's a channel i'd watch. You don't have to
be naked, just just just putting stuff high up where
she can't reach it. Maybe that's part of her content.
I don't know. I don't know what her content consists
of because only fans. While it has the sexual connotation
and implication, it doesn't have to always be that. When
it started, it was just supposed to be a way
(17:57):
for people to connect this actually famous people to connect
with fans and things. And then of course, you know,
the adult industry quickly saw an opening and decided to
fill it. And that's based what's that air tight?
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Air tight?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah? Perfect seal? Uh but yeah, I mean, I mean again,
like when you see that amount of money going, you know,
exchanging hands or whatnot, it really is it's like, that's
I'm partly stunned by how many people are willing to
pay for whatever content that is. And then maybe some
(18:37):
of the content is silly, like maybe she is doing
you know, very tawdry adult themed things, but also maybe
there's bloopers where someone does put the toy she was
using on top of the refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Is it because she's a little person, There's got to
be a gag reel. I'm sorry that was a bad one.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I guarantee you that would get some clicks.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
View it as.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Although on only fans if you have a button that
says check out my gag reel, you may not know
which version you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
That's an ext one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
A damn sure, I don't want to see the spit.

Speaking of appreciation, I appreciate my friendships, and I appreciate
my friend Trey. And when he sends me texts things
that are just very simply put like sorority talk, t okay,
(20:38):
not t a LK sorority talk. I don't need to
ask any more follow ups. I know I'll just save
it for the show and then I'll just He'll just
lay it on me. So Trey, What is sorority talk?
What have you discovered?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
So I think it started he started a couple of
years ago with sororities going into Rush. They put out
these they do these elaborate kind of dance videos, and
it's now like a competition amongst the sororities and for
(21:12):
attention and everything else. And you know, if you're a
guy over I don't know, probably twenty five. It's just
it's the best time of year because your your four
year you page just college girls just doing you know,
all sorts of dancing and shaking things.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I think you should lead with that. When you talk
to someone at the daity trail, would they ask you
have any hobbies You're like, yes, I'm big on sorority.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Talk, or or can you start shaking things?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
No, you're right. This is this is something that started
a handful of years ago at least, where sororities started
doing these recruitment videos. I want to say, Raj, did
we see one on YouTube all the way back in
like eight or something. Someone did one. It was some
sorority somewhere and they did some elaborate recruitment video for Rush,
(22:06):
and then that sort of set the tone and others
started doing it. Now, you're right, Trey, I saw I
saw this a couple of days ago. Didn't realize that
this is part of the new trend where it's the
the TikTok dances and stuff, but it's sorority recruitment videos.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah, they've done the videos for ages like that. They
send a potential you know people they want to rush whatever.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
But the dancing and the elaborate choreography is I think
has grown as TikTok has emerged.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But and I and if you're talking about choreography and
video shooting and editing on that level, that scale, that's
some serious time effort and money just to get some
new you know.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Recruits college sorority girls. They have all three of those.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, solid point and.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, if you're over especially if you're over thirty and
you're watching that, you're just kind of like, is this legal?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
And then though, but it puts a lot of pressure
on some of the recruits because look, we all know
at some schools, some sororities have certain look that they
go for. Some sororities have a certain type, like some
sororities are the ones that are actually involved in the
community wholeheartedly as opposed you're just kind of doing it
on the surface. Some are more the smart kids, some
(23:33):
are more the partiers and like whatever their sort of
stereotype is. But it puts a lot of pressure on
you if you want to join like one specific sorority
and then you realize, oh my god, I'm not that
good of a dancer.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well that's why all the girls are standing in the background.
Is not all of them are, yes.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But every sorority needs a good video editor, is what
you're saying.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Well, no, there's always if they're a hundred girls, there's
ten dancing and the rest of them are you know,
just in the background them on.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Okay, that makes sense. And then and then maybe you
want to be uh, maybe you want to be the
social media manager for the try Dels.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Well the other I mean, some of these girls parlay
this into being social media. I mean they get huge followings,
especially like there's always a couple of girls from Alabama
because that's oh yeah, a whole thing. But you know,
they end up with hundreds of thousands of followers just
because they start doing their you know, get ready with me,
you know, for rush day one and ever and yeah,
(24:29):
they they make a they end up monetizing it, so
good for them.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, you're right, I didn't think about that. To get
ready with me trend for getting ready for rush for sorority.
Next thing, you know, you got to maybe lean brand deal.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Are the guys doing things like this at all? Are
there are the fraternities doing elaborate videos to recruit or
are they just sticking with the the basics of come
get drunk with us?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I think that's that's pretty much.
Speaker 3 (24:57):

twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. This
(25:59):
is one of the day's per year where it's very
very short on birthdays, so just kind of go with
it here Lennon Stella is twenty six. That is Raina's
talented daughter Maddie on Nashville, I mean Nashville. Hey, watchers here, No,
(26:20):
that's not really our thing, Okay, Sebastian Stand here we go.
This is a good one. The Winter Soldier in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sebastian stand is forty three, turning into
I don't know about turning into, but just is actually
a really phenomenal actor, not just as the Winter Soldier,
but he was the one that completely transformed himself to
(26:42):
play Tommy Lee in that Tommy Lee Pamela Anderson show
on whatever it was a couple of years ago. I
think he's been in a couple other things too, But
I'm brain farting off the top of my head. But
Sebastian Stan the Winter Soldier, very fine actor. Which, by
the way, the Thunderbolts movie I had seen in a
(27:03):
few different places online that said that the Thunderbolts movie
that he was in from Marvel was a flop, but
only because it didn't make a billion dollars. And now
all the superhero you know, studios need to sort of
reevaluate what a quote unquote successful box office looks like
because I think that movie still made like two or
three hundred million dollars, but people were saying, ah, it's
(27:24):
kind of a flop. It's like it made money. It
was critically acclaimed. I think it's one of the best
Marvel movies in recent years.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I can tell you what's not. Oh really what the
New Fantastic four movie is garbage, absolute garbage. It is
probably the worst Marvel movie they have put out.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Wow, worse than the other Fantastic for adaptations. Yeah, okay,
it is hot take from Trey.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
It is disjointed. They it's setting this like it's like
it's set in the sixties, but it's got futuristic technology
and it's it's all over the place. It's predictable. You
can see the ending coming from a mile away.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's Oh, Dan's going to the theater. As soon as
we're done, I'm.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Gonna walk into your living room like Galactus and defend
this film to the core.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Is a Sebastians Is he a tall felt? Because Tommy
Lee's a tall guy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I mean, I don't know, he's at least six foot
I don't.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Know, Okay, because like Tommy Lee's like six four something
weird like that.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
It's movies. They can make anyone look tall, just look
at Tom Kers. But as far as the Fantastic four thing,
the reason why I brought up the Thunderbolts is because
I knew you'd bring up Fantastic four. Tre I saw
your thing on on Instagram the other day. It's sort
of like it's like, you know, how was it was
it Roosevelt? Or who was it that did the fireside chats?
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Roosevelt?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Roosevelt? So Roosevelt did the fireside chats. Trey's doing conversations
from his recliner, and I'm I'm loving them because you
put Fantastic four on blast?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
What did you watch it?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You know, I generally enjoy Marvel movies. I mean I
even some of the ones they are bad, I I
enjoy them. It's they're usually a nice escape, you know,
just they're fun to watch. This was just it's just bad.
It's a bad story. It's it's like, I I don't know,
(29:36):
I can't figure out what they were going for because
usually in these especially now with the Marvel universe, they're
going somewhere with it, like it's all they're all leading
into something else. This movie just all over the place,
and with the story and and and like I said,
(29:57):
you can see the ending coming a mile away, and
then you know everyone already knows Doctor Doom makes an
appearance at the at the end, you know in the.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Credits, and that right there is the whole reason for
the film, because Doctor Doom is the Fantastic four villain,
and in order for him to make his appearance into
the MCU, it has the road for Doctor Doom goes
through Fantastic Four. And I will give you this Dray.
I liked Fantastic Four, but it definitely felt like a
(30:24):
necessity film, just so they could get Doom into the
MCU and then onto the next Avengers Doomsday movie. So
it did kind of feel rushed.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I just they've been talking about that movie like it's
not like they have been First of all, John Krasinsky
and I like Pedro Pascal. I still say John Krasinsky
would have been a better choice. But I just thought
the story was just boring, predictable. There were usually in
(30:56):
a Marvel movie, there's some moments where you're like, yeah, whatever,
this one is just.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And doctor Doom is being now being played by Robert
Downey Junior. Yes, yeah, I mean so, I think I think.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
That's one of the problems that that the MTU's has,
that the MCU is run into, is that it's it's
so big now and once they I mean honestly, it's
like Ryan Reynolds called it out in Deadpool and Wolverine
when he's like, uh, the whole multiverse thing not great? Well, yeah,
and that's what this Fantastic Four movie is. It's a complete,
completely separate Earth, a different dimension, a different universe, and
(31:31):
in that universe it is set in the sixties, but
on that Earth, the sixties has futuristic technology available to
do space travel, and so there's a lot of suspension
of disbelief when it comes to, oh, we're just gonna
casually fly around space now and take on a space god.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Well, that's the Fantastic Four in reality or in it
was not in some alternate, you know, universe, and that
that's I think what makes it very weird is they
they have gone but like clearly they were going for
the whole multiverse thing. They failed at it every time.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Stop it doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, I think part of the reason why that I've
I loved all the Marvel movies is because and they're
really getting kind of knee deep into this is what
they call the street level superhero stuff, where it's this
is gonna sound dumb, and I know it is a
realistic feeling superhero film. Like I know there's no Super Soldier,
(32:26):
Captain America, I know there's no Iron Man, I know
there's no Thor, but even those original movies still felt
kind of real ish, like it could happen. We know
it can't, but it feels sort of like it could.
When you're having intergalactic space babies on your spike shaped
(32:46):
ship and Fantastic four roaming around black holes. I can
understand how some people just don't go that far with
the story. It's like, you know what, I'm not quite
buying into this.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Well, another thing is, you know anything with mass cannot
travel the speed of light.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
This is the nerdiest conversation.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I just I just didn't know. You know, Dan wore
Hawkeye under rus.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Don't underestipate it.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
He's bad.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
You're in the Treehouse visit us online at Treehouse on
air dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
And Hawkeye was one of the few good Marvel series.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
Okay, you're listening to the tree House, visit us online
a Treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
No, I am not gonna do it. I am not
going to apologize for nerding out inside the tree house.
It doesn't happen very often. And by god, Trey and
I just completely put our you know, Marvel under us
on and and had a good old nerd fest.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah. That was want to watch.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah, Yeah, But my experience going to the Fantastic I
mean the Kude Gras was the fact that the movie
popcorn was cold and stale. That that was a fitting,
just fitting for the whole experience.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Gotta go to Alamo Draft House. It's the best popcorn,
is it?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
M Okay? I thought Imax had the best popcorn, but
I'll check it out.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I haven't been to an Imax. I think, oh maybe
since a school field trip.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
And honestly, that's so far back. They may not even
have been called Imax back then. Whatever, it was just
the really big screen at the museum. I'm afraid to
go see a movie in IMAX because I'm so motion
sickness sensitive. I'm afraid I'm gonna throw up in the
middle of the film. And I don't want to be
that guy.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, and I have a fear of heights. So if
there's anything that yeah, yeah, the I went and saw
The First Dark Night and it's that scene where he's
you know, the opening scene where they're going over Gotham
City and he's on top of the building and I
was staring down on my feet the whole time. I
can't do it.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I mean, there are many reasons why I could not
be a superhero. Number one on that list is afraid heights.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yeah, that's my thing. I was like, you can't be
street level Batman. Now you just look like you're going
to a kids really Yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
M you cannot be afraid of heights and be a
superhero just period.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Now, granted, if I was Superman with the with the
ability to fly, then okay, then I'm sure I'd get
I would get used to it.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
But what if he had a fear heights too, That
would be hilarious. I gotta fly again. That Superman taking dramamine.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Saving people and throwing up on them at the same time.
I'd watch that movie super Dud. That actually sounds a
little bit like what would be a good premise for
a remake of Greatest American Hero, which they were going
to do. And we've talked about this, I think very
briefly before. The girl that played CC on New Girl
(36:19):
was slated to be the new version of Greatest American Hero.
Greatest American Hero was that was it? Stephen Cat? Was
that the actor's name back in the late seventies early eighties.
That's the whole right, it's William Katt, William Cat.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
That was sure. I'm sure you can call the waffle
house that he works at find out.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
But helped me with this trade because it was a
long time ago. So the premise of Greatest American Hero
is normal dude somehow comes across some alien suit and
this suit gives him superpowers, and it's kind of a
slapstick comedy because he's trying to figure out how to
use these powers and so he's it's kind of stumbling superhero.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Well, he throws away the instructions.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, he threw away the he threw away the pamphlet.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah, that is such, that is such an that is
such an earth dude thing.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Super suit. I don't need the instructions.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, that's a man guy, that's a man thing, right.
I know how to work this alien technology.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I got it.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Uh, but yeah, no, I I yeah, superhero status may
be very very poor because I would not be able
to handle the heights.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Must have crushed your crushed your soul when you realize
you couldn't be wonder Woman.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Oh Invisible Jet.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yeah, he had the bracelets and everything.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
I was so ready then so disappointed. Well that's the
other too, is I can't twirl because I get sick.
