Speaker 1 (00:18):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley along
with Raz Sharma and Jerry Caldwell on a Fried Day,
August fifteenth, twenty twenty five. Welcome to the end of
(00:38):
your week, hopefully not the end of your roope. Mm
hm oh, hang on, I got I still got some
congestion in my chest, which means I have Friday a
little too hard just then, So now I got a
little broke tickle, so I hain't gonna sip the water.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm totally gonna use that. Would you look like hell guy,
Friday a little too hard?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, anyway, I'm feeling much better now, thank you. Just
a couple of weeks ago, news came out that radioactive
wasps had been found at a Cold War era nuclear
site in South Carolina, And now Peter cottontail might be
(01:26):
turning into Peter's spike face. Rabbits with horrifying spikes growing
from their heads are invading the United States.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
That's right, say that again.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Rabbits with horrifying spikes growing from their heads are invading
the United States, and experts are warning us to stay away.
He thinks appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Heads up, Doc, I'm gonna stay away from the rhino rabbit.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
A rapidly spreading virus is causing cottontail rabbits to grow
black tentacle like growths out of their heads, warnings to
steer clear of the mutated animals. Oh good, bunny mutants.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You started with spikes. Now it's tentacles. That's an entirely
different thing.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I feel I feel like this is all a fluid situation,
and people are throwing around different descriptions and different adjectives
to describe this virus that's affecting cottontail rabbits, and at
the end of the days, it's bad.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Spikes scurrying out is scary, but tentacles are gd terrifying.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
They're also calling them Francin' bunnies. Yeah, yeah, Franken bunnies
have been spotted multiple times in Fort Collins, Colorado, oh
One resident told the News she saw a rabbit with
what looked like black quills or black toothpicks sticking out
all around his or her mouth.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah. Do you know how good the weed in Colorado is?
That's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Probably pretty good. However, I'm gonna show you a photo
of one of these uh fike headed rabbits, and you
tell me if this is someone that had too good
of a gummy.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh wow, that is uh okay, that's gonna be a
no for me dog.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, that's gonna be. Yeah. You run away from that,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah. Yeah, that's uh that's one do not pet, no
longer friend shaped.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
That rabbit doesn't eat lettuce.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That rabbit eats ass.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
That's where that virus came from. Yeah, that's the You
don't want to die by that. And if you did
the obituary, you don't want any mention of it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
This lady in Colorado said she thought he would die
off during the winter, but he didn't. She said he
came back a second year and it had grown. One
person described the infected critter as having a scabby ish
looking growth over its face. The so called bunny blight
is actually a disease called cottontail papaloma virus CrPV, also
(04:48):
known as shop papaloma virus, which causes cottontail bunnies to
sprout tumors around their head. It's spread by parasites like
ticks and fleas, which pass on the ailment through the bites.
So just imagine if human papilloma virus looked like this,
then we'd all know who had it and we would
(05:13):
know not to pet or.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
They're just gonna be the lead singer of primus.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
What they all look like?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Uh gar, Yeah, that's frightening.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Wow, constant tail.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's from flee and texts as always said.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, they say. Typically rabbits become infected in the
warmer months of summer, when transmitted by being bitten by
insects like fleas and ticks. That's according to Colorado Parks
and Wildlife spokesperson Caravan, who's she says, well, the recent
sightings occurred in Colorado. The disease is most frequently rears
(05:52):
its horny head in the Midwest. In twenty thirteen, of
Minnesota resident caused a stir after posting a video of
a tendril ritten rabbit in his backyard, which he dubbed
the Frankenstein bunny and compared it to the mythical jackalope,
a hoax that was promulgated by jokesters sewing antlers on
the taxidermy rabbits. In light of the rampant CrPV sightings.
(06:15):
Wildlife experts have worn people not to approach or handle
any of the affected critters. Yeah. While the virus can
spread between rabbits, it is not known to infect humans
or pets, and is therefore not considered a threat.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
To public health. Okay yet yet?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Good?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Okay, because I've reared my horny head in the Midwest
as well.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
With similar alarmist consequences.

Noticeably missing today is our very own Trey Trendholm, who
last night as far as I know went to the
thirty five plus dating event on the Daity Trail, even
(08:10):
though it was on Greenville in Dallas. Anyway, as far
as I know, Trey went to the dating event last night,
and since he's not here today, I can only assume
things went really really well I told you, or really
really bad. I don't know. The good news is we
get to live in suspense until he shows his face.
(08:31):
Hopefully it is not ridden with papolloma virus tumors like
those poor bunnies in the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
It would be great if it was, though.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I hope he does. At least we wouldn't have to
ask him what happened.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Comes back on the air with mouth sores like so
it is a successful night.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I guess you got in the wrong ass anyway, in
case you didn't realize it based on all your friends'
activity on social media. It's back to school season. Whether
kids have gone back already this week, or they're going
(09:11):
back next week, or some other combination of the two.
It's so many school districts now start at different times.
I think that this week was pretty much the most
common week for kids to go back to school, followed
by probably next week as the next most popular, at
(09:32):
least as far as Texas is concerned. Yeah, but back
to school seasons always kind of fascinating, and someone decided
to do a survey. In a poll, someone decided to
ask more than one thousand adults how they usually felt
about going back to school when they were kids. Thirty
five percent said they were generally happy about it, including
(09:54):
fourteen percent who were very happy.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, on that fourteen percent, I loved going to school.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Let me ask you this, did you love going to
school in general or did you just love the first
day of school.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I loved all of school.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, yeah, because I really enjoyed the first day of school.
I even enjoyed some of the preparations of going back
to school. While keeping in mind I thoroughly loved my
summer vacations. And I I did summer vacations right, you know,
I did all the things. I stayed outside all day,
only came inside when needed for food.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Water was typically garden hose water, like a proud genexer should.
And at the end of a day, maybe sit on
the front porch with a cold icy bee cream soda
root beer, pretending it was a beer. Again, like a good,
proud gen xer. Yeah, and think about my accomplishments throughout
that hot summer day. Now spital that I still enjoyed
(10:56):
the back to school traditions. I actually kind of liked
going back to school shopping, got some new clothes, got
new supplies because the first day of school was the
most organized day of school. I would have the entire
year like the day before, A day or two before,
I'd get all my new supplies put together. I'd color
coordinate all my folders by subject and the binder. Maybe
(11:20):
a new backpack, pencil bag or something maybe, which of
course didn't fit in my trapper keeper because I had
the big pencil.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I was gonna say, you only need one of those
for the entire year.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It was more like a thing strapped to my back,
like a samurai thord. But yeah, no, that really was
like the most organized I would be all year was
that first day of school, and I liked the excitement
of going back seeing friends and stuff. Every day after
the first day of schools I got school sucks.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, see, I don't get like I've heard a lot
of people say that, Like I always besides a man.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It was horribly bullied, but I feel you loved going
back to school.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I loved school just in general, like I I had fun.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It was nice.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It's educational, you're learning. I think I thought that. But
the first day Jitters was kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah, because you're getting you clothes ready, like you were saying,
and yeah, and then you go back and you hope
your duds look good.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I I enjoyed the clothes shopping. I actually enjoyed getting
school supplies. I always thought they were cool. That first
day going back, Hey, everybody, how was your summer vacation?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That's great?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And then from day two forward it was like I
got better things I could be doing.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
And I heard I heard they brought back the trapper Keeper.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, really, yes.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
It is back now.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
It's it's it's made a resurgence with this new generation,
like because they like all the vintage stuff, right, so
they're all using trapper Keepers now.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
So trap Keeper has trapper Keeper updated itself at all? Like,
because no would not hang on. The reason I asked
is because Stanley was like the tried and true, blue
collar lunch pale thing from back in the day, from
the twentieth century twenty first century. Stanley is for steel
(13:13):
cup with a handle in straw touting soccer moms. Yeah,
so things are a little different. Same company, they have
the other products, but they also have expanded a bit.
So I was wondering if trapper keepers doing the same thing,
because trapper keepers mostly plastic stuff, and plastics are bad.
So did they go the stainless steel route? So trapper
keepers should make it likenk type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You know, you know how many people get knocked out
day one with a stainless steel trapper keeper.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Back to school? Day One's just hunger games.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Oh wirst period hurts, and they still will call it
a fold take a folder back.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Steel doesn't fold.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Like like you just did.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But no, I did not know that about trapper keepers.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Can you imagine being the factory, the getting that call
like hey we need one hundred thousand more, like hey,
turn the lights back on, right right, we're back in business.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Bitches.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
That guy had to have been or whoever it is,
that person had to have been so stoked when he's like,
what they they want these again?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, they're coming back. I mean, you're right. You think
about it, man, All they had to do is just
hang on, just long enough and I'm sure like the
head of the company is like, look, I swear to you,
we're gonna be cool again. Just keep making a few
of them here and there, just so people know that
they still kind of exist. And all it all it
takes is for one idiot influencer to be like, look
(14:58):
what I found. The next thing, you know, we're back, baby.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Then God, your mom wasn't the accountant is all that
she would She would have lost all that money, more
and more trapper less keepers.

All right, gentlemen, we haven't done this in a while,
but here we go. It's time for believe it or
(16:11):
not inside the tree House. Inside the tree House today,
it is time for believe it or not. I'm going
to read you, guys, a statement from a news story,
and you tell me whether or not. Well, you believe
it all right? So here we go. Believe it or not?
Inside the tree house. Today, Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious enormous
(16:37):
shoes from an ancient Roman fort. Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious
enormous shoes from an ancient Roman fort. Do you believe
it or not? Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious enormous shoes from
an ancient Roman fort. Do you believe it or not? Rush?
(17:00):
I believe it, okay, Jerry? Do you believe it or not?
You know what, I'll take the other one. Okay, Jerry,
you are wrong, raj you are correct. You must believe it.
Archaeologists have in fact unearthed mysterious enormous shoes from an
(17:22):
ancient Roman fort.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Who hasn't shock Banged.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I had no idea he was an immoral.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Of course he is.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Researchers were shocked to discover a number of enormous leather
shoes that are significantly larger than normal during recent digs
in northern England, and they don't know why they're so big.
The oversized shoes are from Magna, a Roman era fort
along Hadrian's Wall, which is a seventy three miles stone
wall that delineated the northwest edge of the Roman Empire
(18:00):
and was constructed starting in one twenty two CE. The
Roman Army Museum states that the fort was in use
from eighty five until one twenty two CE. Real quick,
what does c E stand for? Common Era? Is that?
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Just?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Is that? Woke initials for uh after for.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Eight basically yeah, and then BCE before common era?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah? Got it? Okay, anyway, I'm just curious. Eight enormous
leather shoes, eight of them, each greater than eleven point
eight inches long, have been discovered by archaeologists since May. Currently,
about twenty five percent of all shoes discovered at the
site so far are extra large specimens. While investigating a
(18:50):
defensive ditch where Roman troops were also known to poop,
researchers found the first enormous shoe. According to Christina Kilgre
of Live Science, the sole of that shoe measured twelve
point six inches, or about the same length as a
men's fourteen in the United States.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
After continuing their excavation, archaeologists discovered thirty three more pairs
of shoes in various sizes, some of which seem to
have been designed for young people. They even discovered a
shoe that is twelve point eight inches long. The soles
are all composed of thinks of cowhide leather that are
secured by iron hobnails. Because to the low oxygen content
(19:33):
of the local soil, the shoes have remained intact for
almost two thousand years. Now, why some of these shoes
are so big is a mystery to researchers. My question
to you is is there something super mysterious going on
or did the Roman Army have a special clown regiment.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Or they just got to keep digging and fund of basketball.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And eventually court. Yeah, it was the Roman Globetrotters.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I'd watched them every day.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
With metal lark alias, always battling the Jews, the little
white guys that just couldn't keep up.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
That's their Washington generals. I didn't know the Romans had
a basketball team. That's pretty awesome. Good for that. Yeah,
and and and the start of the league because they
had shoes for younger kids too.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It's good to know that a development league.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, summer league.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Man, what what couldn't the Romans do.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Keep that bitch from burning down? That's what they couldn't
move well.

It feels good to get that out there. What I'm
about to tell you is not breaking news. Okay, it
is in no way breaking news, but it is really
really funny. A nineteen year old influencer is stranded in
(22:31):
the Chilean Antarctic because he landed a plane there without permission.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
And what is this white kid's name?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm glad you asked Raj.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
His name is Ethan gu Oh, of course it is.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
He's nineteen years old and he's of Asian descent, so.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
That he's adopted. Ok.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I was about to say look him up, but damn it.
You may be right. I don't know nature versus nurture right.
What was intended as a fundraising mission for cancer research
has become a nightmare for American teen influencer Ethan Guo.
He's been stuck since June in a remote location in
(23:24):
Chilean Territory and Antarctica. Authorities say he landed his small
plane illegally after providing false flight plan information to officials
who opened an investigation. He made headlines last year when
the then nineteen year old team began a trip in
an attempt to become the youngest person to fly solo
(23:45):
to all seven continents and at the time collect donations
for research into childhood cancer. So what started out as
a very admirable thing turned into a very illegal event.
Funny how that happens.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
As part of his trip, the teen, who identifies as
Asian American, planned to go to the Antarctic, but according
to the authorities, he lied to officials providing false flight
plan data. Prosecutors said he'd been authorized to fly only
over Punta Arenas, but that he kept going south, headlining
or heading for Antarctica in his Cessna one eighty two Q,
(24:23):
a single engine light aircraft known for its versatility. He
was charged on June twenty ninth with handing false information
to ground control and landing without authorization, but on Monday,
a judge dropped the charges as part of an agreement
with his lawyers and Chile's prosecutors. It requires that he
give a thirty thousand dollars donation to a children's cancer
(24:43):
foundation within thirty days to avoid a trial. He must
also leave the country as soon as conditions allow, and
is prohibited from re entering Chilean territory for three years.
On Monday, after the ruling, he told the AP and
a text message that he was relieved by the outcome.
For the past six weeks, he's stayed at a military base.
He was not forced to stay there, only to remain
(25:05):
in Chilean territory, but because of the severe weather in
that part of the you know, southern hemisphere known as Antarctica,
there haven't been any available flights he could take. Turns
out its one place spirit won't go.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I wonder how much that big sea costs.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, he's also been unable to fly his Cessna so
Chilean prosecutors on Monday told reporters that the plane does
not have the capabilities to make a flight. They didn't
provide any additional details. I'm guessing they put a Chilean
boot on it, but the American teen influencer said he
(25:45):
is talking with his lawyers to see if there's any
way he can fly it out of there.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
A Chilean boot is just a really nice cowboy boot with.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
A really long pointed two. You know, it really feels
like life is starting to imitate jackass. Hi, I'm a
nineteen year old idiot. Watch me learn about consequences.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
And give me a plane.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Should we start tagging influencers like endangered species so we
can track their movements and study their dumb choices?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yes, that would be fascinating tags. M they're sure, yes, fashion,
study and scientific.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Who is this kid? Where are his parents?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
No idea? The story, albeit long, mentions nothing about his parents.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Probably because they didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
They're like, look, leave us out of this. So I
know what they said. They said he's adopted.

(27:43):
twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. This
is a name I always need to be careful when
I say it. Chief Keef is thirty years old. Today,
chiefkey is thirty. I say I have to be careful
when I say his name because whenever I say it,
(28:05):
I want to say Chief Quef because it just feels
more natural to say it that. I don't know why
Chief Quef comes out easier than Chief Keith.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
That's his sister.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Anyway. Chief Keith is thirty today. Jennifer Lawrence turns thirty five.
Many many notable roles catmus Everdeen in the Hunger Games movies.
She wanted an oscar for silver Lining's playbook. She was
mystique in the Young X Men movies.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Called it's just kind of what I call them mm
hm x Men first class right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
mean tons and tons of film roles at this point.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Phenomenal actors too. I think she's really really good and
I don't know if it's an underrated role of hers
or not, but I'm a big fan of the movie
Passengers with her and Chris Pratt.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Okay, I never sun.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, really interesting premise for a film that's set in
the future, Jerry, have you seen it? I have not.
So the premise for the film is a spaceship is
leaving Earth and it's going to a new planet a
couple of galaxies away, and it's going to take like
ninety years for it to get there, so all the
(29:22):
people have to be have to basically be asleep in
cold stasis whatever, cryogenically frozen until they arrive to populate
this new planet. Okay, on the way there, the ship
runs into a little bit of trouble and Chris Pratt's
cryo tube pops open and wakes him up about eighty
(29:44):
three years too early, so it's just him on a
ship by himself.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
One thing leads to another. He sees Jennifer Lawrence's tube
and says, I'd like to get with that, and he
figures out how to pop it open, and he does
tube the tube her and eventually her.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Yeah, is anybody else hearing the Final countdown by Europe
in your head?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
It's interesting too, because, like I think it was gen
Z got a hold of the premise of this film
and they're like, oh my god, this, it's this horrible
he he did that without consent. And Hollywood's making money
on this, Like people watch the film, that's what it's about.
This is one of the things I can't stand about
movie controversies. And this is a good example of social
(30:35):
justice woke mob warriors going crazy. And the other most
recent example of the far right fascist people going crazy
is the Superman being an immigrant thing and they don't
like that, and that Superman's two woke everyone on both
extremes Calm the f down, because those extreme takes about
(30:57):
these films have nothing to do or everything to do
with the film in and of itself. Like the extreme
leftists like, oh my god, Chris Pratt's character doing that
against her consent. Yeah, that's the whole point of the film. Yeah,
that's the whole point of the film. Go see the
movie and you'll shut up. You'd be like, oh, I
get it now, Okay, there you go. And then on
(31:17):
the flip side, you get people like Dean Kane who
was Superman, and Lois and Clark saying Superman's two woke
because the director said it's an immigrant story blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah. Go see the movie, Dean, Yeah,
because if you see the movie, it's not like that
at all.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
And also, I would like to see Ice try to
deport somebody back to Kryptop.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Good luck with that. It's no longer there.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
You're gonna need Elon Musk again one of his.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Rockets, because at the end of the day, where do
you send him? Wereville?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Where these people's outrage with Sleeping Beauty, it's.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Oh no, no, Some of those people have out have
voiced their outrage about that as well. That's why some
of the Disney films are having to update some of
their stories two more modern times, because you know, it's like, well,
why does a man have to save her maybe she
can save herself, or why is it dependent on a
kiss from a man or you know, it's like this
is you know, it's it's the patriarchy.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Blah blah blah. I mean I would I would watch
it if it was a kiss from a woman.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
See that's the angle I thought of too. It's like, okay, well,
I'm open to exploring new ideas.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
We can make this unnecessarily hot.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, we we could do a crossover of sleeping beauty
and caged heat. Let's all meet in the middle.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Visit us online a Treehouse on Air dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
You're in good Treehouse.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Visit us online at Treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
For all things Treehouse, go to Treehouse on Air dot com,
past shows, linked, contact info, and for all available on
our website Treehouse on Air dot com. Have nah yeah
(33:57):
you actually it really is. It really is frustrating as
a normal thinking person to have people on the extremes
of our society right and left, and some that go
so far even beyond those extremes, they somehow end up
on the like the dark side of the moon type
of thinking that you can't just enjoy a movie anymore.
(34:20):
It's got to have some over arcing, nasty political message
in it or it's you know, it's it's it's fascist
or it's racist. You know, it's like when it may
not be, it may not have been intended that way,
but you're right, I mean, Jerry, Like people were or
have started voicing concerns about some of these older children's
stories that turned into Disney films and saying, well, you know,
(34:44):
some of these tropes need to go away, because you know,
women shouldn't be dependent on a man to save them
or an unconsented kiss to get them. And then that
leaves those of us who are having fun in the
middle to say, well, you know what, Okay, well we're
open to a woman delivering that same kiss. Yeah, we
would think of ourselves as open minded. Here inside the treehouse,
(35:07):
let's see where he goes.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I would be there opening day for scissoring Beauty Popcorn,
ready to go, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Drive off into the sunset and there's new in their
new super up. And at the same time, people getting mad,
like on the extreme right saying how it's like, oh, well,
the Superman's woke because he's it's an immigrant story and
(35:45):
blah blah blah. Well that's not new. He's always been
an illegal alien.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I mean he's he's a dreamer. His parents sent him
here like he did right, right, so.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
He didn't have a choice in the matter. He's just
making the most of his circumstances.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
I would love to see him in line for his papers, right,
just waiting with everybody else to get natural natural.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Raise your right hand, Superman.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Except in this newest version, he's going to have to
be detained by Ice, and Ice is wearing their masks,
to which Superman's like, really, I can see right through that.
I did this with Batman, going to do this. I
totally know what youre.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Hey, Dean Kane.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Everyone knows to make fun of my glasses and think
that they can't recognize me versus Clark Camp. But come on, dude,
everyone knows your mouth.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Detain somebody with heat vision.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Okay, let's see how that pans out.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
All right, go ahead and Cuffy.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Watch this.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
I'm not even a magician. What else you got?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Are you actually? Are you actually shooting me?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
I will say that is one of the really cool
things about the quasi forgotten Superman movie. In the middle
of all the Superman stuff is the one that starred
Brandon Routh. I think it was Superman Returns is what
it was called. I still remember that one thing in
that movie that was really really cool is someone's firing
an automatic weapon at him and he's just slowly walking
(37:36):
towards them, not bleaking, and a bullet bounces off his eyeball.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Yeah, yeah, that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yeah, it flattens against his eyeball and then just falls
to the ground. Leg That was a badass scene.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
That's when I that's when I that's when I quit
ice be like, you know what I tried.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It flew off his eye.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I'll speak guys later.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Sorry, man, I started with Eleon Gonzales. I can't handle this.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Put that kid back on a raft.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yeah. I made six year old Cubans I got you,
not thirty year old Kryptonians. Not thirty year old Kryptonians
that can flatten bullets with their eyelids.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Who wants lunch?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I mean it was bad enough. He looked through my
mask and he whispered into my ear.
Speaker 8 (38:32):
I know where your family lives, I know who you are,
and you're.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Not wearing underwear x ra vision.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah. That was the other thing about the Superman Returns
movie starring Brendan Rauth that was a little weird at
the time. Was he was the one that wore the uh,
the bikini brief, like the low rise bikini brief under
rus as part of his costume. Because if you think
about it, the underwear stuff really like the trends follow
(39:07):
under the underwear that Superman wears on the outside, right,
because back in the day, was it the guy that
did Superman on TV's like George Reeve or whatever. It
was like the high waisted, like the swim trunks, the
swim trunk almost up to his chest type stuff. Then
you get Christopher Reeve in the movies in the seventies
and the eighties, and it's a kind of belly button
(39:30):
height on the red underwear outside. Yeah, not quite Speedo.
But then when you get to Brandon Routh's Superman Superman Returns,
that's when you do get sort of that Speedo look
because at the time, the low rise bikini brief was
kind of a thing. It was available in stores, and
so that was Superman's underwear at the time. But then
(39:51):
we had a hell of a leap between Superman Returns
with Brandon Routh and his low rise bikini brief underwear
to Henry Cavel's not wearing a damn thing.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
So, like for this brand new movie, people were wondering, well,
is he gonna have the red under rus on or not.
Is it gonna be like Henry Cavils with nothing, or
is it gonna be like Christopher Reeves. It turned out
to be more like Christopher Reeves. But honestly, I thought
they could have easily have gone the thong route because
that's what's popular now.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Male thongs.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Well, just like, oh you like them.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
We we know this already. This is a well established fact.
There are pictures of me on the internet.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Okay, well that's news to me.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Jerry, you're gonna You're not gonna You're not gonna be
my favorite superman, but you'll be my favorite wonder woman.

It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley along
with Raz Sharma and Jerry Caldwell on a Fried Day,
August fifteenth, twenty twenty five. Welcome to the end of
(00:38):
your week, hopefully not the end of your roope. Mm
hm oh, hang on, I got I still got some
congestion in my chest, which means I have Friday a
little too hard just then, So now I got a
little broke tickle, so I hain't gonna sip the water.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm totally gonna use that. Would you look like hell guy,
Friday a little too hard?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, anyway, I'm feeling much better now, thank you. Just
a couple of weeks ago, news came out that radioactive
wasps had been found at a Cold War era nuclear
site in South Carolina, And now Peter cottontail might be
(01:26):
turning into Peter's spike face. Rabbits with horrifying spikes growing
from their heads are invading the United States.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
That's right, say that again.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Rabbits with horrifying spikes growing from their heads are invading
the United States, and experts are warning us to stay away.
He thinks appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Heads up, Doc, I'm gonna stay away from the rhino rabbit.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
A rapidly spreading virus is causing cottontail rabbits to grow
black tentacle like growths out of their heads, warnings to
steer clear of the mutated animals. Oh good, bunny mutants.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You started with spikes. Now it's tentacles. That's an entirely
different thing.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I feel I feel like this is all a fluid situation,
and people are throwing around different descriptions and different adjectives
to describe this virus that's affecting cottontail rabbits, and at
the end of the days, it's bad.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Spikes scurrying out is scary, but tentacles are gd terrifying.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
They're also calling them Francin' bunnies. Yeah, yeah, Franken bunnies
have been spotted multiple times in Fort Collins, Colorado, oh
One resident told the News she saw a rabbit with
what looked like black quills or black toothpicks sticking out
all around his or her mouth.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah. Do you know how good the weed in Colorado is?
That's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Probably pretty good. However, I'm gonna show you a photo
of one of these uh fike headed rabbits, and you
tell me if this is someone that had too good
of a gummy.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh wow, that is uh okay, that's gonna be a
no for me dog.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, that's gonna be. Yeah. You run away from that,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah. Yeah, that's uh that's one do not pet, no
longer friend shaped.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
That rabbit doesn't eat lettuce.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That rabbit eats ass.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
That's where that virus came from. Yeah, that's the You
don't want to die by that. And if you did
the obituary, you don't want any mention of it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
This lady in Colorado said she thought he would die
off during the winter, but he didn't. She said he
came back a second year and it had grown. One
person described the infected critter as having a scabby ish
looking growth over its face. The so called bunny blight
is actually a disease called cottontail papaloma virus CrPV, also
(04:48):
known as shop papaloma virus, which causes cottontail bunnies to
sprout tumors around their head. It's spread by parasites like
ticks and fleas, which pass on the ailment through the bites.
So just imagine if human papilloma virus looked like this,
then we'd all know who had it and we would
(05:13):
know not to pet or.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
They're just gonna be the lead singer of primus.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
What they all look like?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Uh gar, Yeah, that's frightening.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Wow, constant tail.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's from flee and texts as always said.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, they say. Typically rabbits become infected in the
warmer months of summer, when transmitted by being bitten by
insects like fleas and ticks. That's according to Colorado Parks
and Wildlife spokesperson Caravan, who's she says, well, the recent
sightings occurred in Colorado. The disease is most frequently rears
(05:52):
its horny head in the Midwest. In twenty thirteen, of
Minnesota resident caused a stir after posting a video of
a tendril ritten rabbit in his backyard, which he dubbed
the Frankenstein bunny and compared it to the mythical jackalope,
a hoax that was promulgated by jokesters sewing antlers on
the taxidermy rabbits. In light of the rampant CrPV sightings.
(06:15):
Wildlife experts have worn people not to approach or handle
any of the affected critters. Yeah. While the virus can
spread between rabbits, it is not known to infect humans
or pets, and is therefore not considered a threat.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
To public health. Okay yet yet?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Good?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Okay, because I've reared my horny head in the Midwest
as well.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
With similar alarmist consequences.

Noticeably missing today is our very own Trey Trendholm, who
last night as far as I know went to the
thirty five plus dating event on the Daity Trail, even
(08:10):
though it was on Greenville in Dallas. Anyway, as far
as I know, Trey went to the dating event last night,
and since he's not here today, I can only assume
things went really really well I told you, or really
really bad. I don't know. The good news is we
get to live in suspense until he shows his face.
(08:31):
Hopefully it is not ridden with papolloma virus tumors like
those poor bunnies in the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
It would be great if it was, though.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I hope he does. At least we wouldn't have to
ask him what happened.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Comes back on the air with mouth sores like so
it is a successful night.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I guess you got in the wrong ass anyway, in
case you didn't realize it based on all your friends'
activity on social media. It's back to school season. Whether
kids have gone back already this week, or they're going
(09:11):
back next week, or some other combination of the two.
It's so many school districts now start at different times.
I think that this week was pretty much the most
common week for kids to go back to school, followed
by probably next week as the next most popular, at
(09:32):
least as far as Texas is concerned. Yeah, but back
to school seasons always kind of fascinating, and someone decided
to do a survey. In a poll, someone decided to
ask more than one thousand adults how they usually felt
about going back to school when they were kids. Thirty
five percent said they were generally happy about it, including
(09:54):
fourteen percent who were very happy.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, on that fourteen percent, I loved going to school.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Let me ask you this, did you love going to
school in general or did you just love the first
day of school.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I loved all of school.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, yeah, because I really enjoyed the first day of school.
I even enjoyed some of the preparations of going back
to school. While keeping in mind I thoroughly loved my
summer vacations. And I I did summer vacations right, you know,
I did all the things. I stayed outside all day,
only came inside when needed for food.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Water was typically garden hose water, like a proud genexer should.
And at the end of a day, maybe sit on
the front porch with a cold icy bee cream soda
root beer, pretending it was a beer. Again, like a good,
proud gen xer. Yeah, and think about my accomplishments throughout
that hot summer day. Now spital that I still enjoyed
(10:56):
the back to school traditions. I actually kind of liked
going back to school shopping, got some new clothes, got
new supplies because the first day of school was the
most organized day of school. I would have the entire
year like the day before, A day or two before,
I'd get all my new supplies put together. I'd color
coordinate all my folders by subject and the binder. Maybe
(11:20):
a new backpack, pencil bag or something maybe, which of
course didn't fit in my trapper keeper because I had
the big pencil.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I was gonna say, you only need one of those
for the entire year.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It was more like a thing strapped to my back,
like a samurai thord. But yeah, no, that really was
like the most organized I would be all year was
that first day of school, and I liked the excitement
of going back seeing friends and stuff. Every day after
the first day of schools I got school sucks.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, see, I don't get like I've heard a lot
of people say that, Like I always besides a man.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It was horribly bullied, but I feel you loved going
back to school.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I loved school just in general, like I I had fun.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It was nice.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It's educational, you're learning. I think I thought that. But
the first day Jitters was kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah, because you're getting you clothes ready, like you were saying,
and yeah, and then you go back and you hope
your duds look good.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I I enjoyed the clothes shopping. I actually enjoyed getting
school supplies. I always thought they were cool. That first
day going back, Hey, everybody, how was your summer vacation?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That's great?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And then from day two forward it was like I
got better things I could be doing.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
And I heard I heard they brought back the trapper Keeper.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, really, yes.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
It is back now.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
It's it's it's made a resurgence with this new generation,
like because they like all the vintage stuff, right, so
they're all using trapper Keepers now.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
So trap Keeper has trapper Keeper updated itself at all? Like,
because no would not hang on. The reason I asked
is because Stanley was like the tried and true, blue
collar lunch pale thing from back in the day, from
the twentieth century twenty first century. Stanley is for steel
(13:13):
cup with a handle in straw touting soccer moms. Yeah,
so things are a little different. Same company, they have
the other products, but they also have expanded a bit.
So I was wondering if trapper keepers doing the same thing,
because trapper keepers mostly plastic stuff, and plastics are bad.
So did they go the stainless steel route? So trapper
keepers should make it likenk type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You know, you know how many people get knocked out
day one with a stainless steel trapper keeper.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Back to school? Day One's just hunger games.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Oh wirst period hurts, and they still will call it
a fold take a folder back.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Steel doesn't fold.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Like like you just did.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But no, I did not know that about trapper keepers.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Can you imagine being the factory, the getting that call
like hey we need one hundred thousand more, like hey,
turn the lights back on, right right, we're back in business.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Bitches.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
That guy had to have been or whoever it is,
that person had to have been so stoked when he's like,
what they they want these again?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, they're coming back. I mean, you're right. You think
about it, man, All they had to do is just
hang on, just long enough and I'm sure like the
head of the company is like, look, I swear to you,
we're gonna be cool again. Just keep making a few
of them here and there, just so people know that
they still kind of exist. And all it all it
takes is for one idiot influencer to be like, look
(14:58):
what I found. The next thing, you know, we're back, baby.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Then God, your mom wasn't the accountant is all that
she would She would have lost all that money, more
and more trapper less keepers.

it is time for believe it or not. I'm going
to read you, guys, a statement from a news story,
and you tell me whether or not. Well, you believe
it all right? So here we go. Believe it or not?
Inside the tree house. Today, Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious enormous
(16:37):
shoes from an ancient Roman fort. Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious
enormous shoes from an ancient Roman fort. Do you believe
it or not? Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious enormous shoes from
an ancient Roman fort. Do you believe it or not? Rush?
(17:00):
I believe it, okay, Jerry? Do you believe it or not?
You know what, I'll take the other one. Okay, Jerry,
you are wrong, raj you are correct. You must believe it.
Archaeologists have in fact unearthed mysterious enormous shoes from an
(17:22):
ancient Roman fort.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Who hasn't shock Banged.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I had no idea he was an immoral.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Of course he is.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Researchers were shocked to discover a number of enormous leather
shoes that are significantly larger than normal during recent digs
in northern England, and they don't know why they're so big.
The oversized shoes are from Magna, a Roman era fort
along Hadrian's Wall, which is a seventy three miles stone
wall that delineated the northwest edge of the Roman Empire
(18:00):
and was constructed starting in one twenty two CE. The
Roman Army Museum states that the fort was in use
from eighty five until one twenty two CE. Real quick,
what does c E stand for? Common Era? Is that?
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Just?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Is that? Woke initials for uh after for.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Eight basically yeah, and then BCE before common era?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah? Got it? Okay, anyway, I'm just curious. Eight enormous
leather shoes, eight of them, each greater than eleven point
eight inches long, have been discovered by archaeologists since May. Currently,
about twenty five percent of all shoes discovered at the
site so far are extra large specimens. While investigating a
(18:50):
defensive ditch where Roman troops were also known to poop,
researchers found the first enormous shoe. According to Christina Kilgre
of Live Science, the sole of that shoe measured twelve
point six inches, or about the same length as a
men's fourteen in the United States.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
After continuing their excavation, archaeologists discovered thirty three more pairs
of shoes in various sizes, some of which seem to
have been designed for young people. They even discovered a
shoe that is twelve point eight inches long. The soles
are all composed of thinks of cowhide leather that are
secured by iron hobnails. Because to the low oxygen content
(19:33):
of the local soil, the shoes have remained intact for
almost two thousand years. Now, why some of these shoes
are so big is a mystery to researchers. My question
to you is is there something super mysterious going on
or did the Roman Army have a special clown regiment.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Or they just got to keep digging and fund of basketball.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And eventually court. Yeah, it was the Roman Globetrotters.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I'd watched them every day.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
With metal lark alias, always battling the Jews, the little
white guys that just couldn't keep up.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
That's their Washington generals. I didn't know the Romans had
a basketball team. That's pretty awesome. Good for that. Yeah,
and and and the start of the league because they
had shoes for younger kids too.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It's good to know that a development league.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, summer league.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Man, what what couldn't the Romans do.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Keep that bitch from burning down? That's what they couldn't
move well.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
You can't win them all. Sometimes the little generals get you.

It feels good to get that out there. What I'm
about to tell you is not breaking news. Okay, it
is in no way breaking news, but it is really
really funny. A nineteen year old influencer is stranded in
(22:31):
the Chilean Antarctic because he landed a plane there without permission.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
And what is this white kid's name?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm glad you asked Raj.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
His name is Ethan gu Oh, of course it is.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
He's nineteen years old and he's of Asian descent, so.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
That he's adopted. Ok.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I was about to say look him up, but damn it.
You may be right. I don't know nature versus nurture right.
What was intended as a fundraising mission for cancer research
has become a nightmare for American teen influencer Ethan Guo.
He's been stuck since June in a remote location in
(23:24):
Chilean Territory and Antarctica. Authorities say he landed his small
plane illegally after providing false flight plan information to officials
who opened an investigation. He made headlines last year when
the then nineteen year old team began a trip in
an attempt to become the youngest person to fly solo
(23:45):
to all seven continents and at the time collect donations
for research into childhood cancer. So what started out as
a very admirable thing turned into a very illegal event.
Funny how that happens.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
As part of his trip, the teen, who identifies as
Asian American, planned to go to the Antarctic, but according
to the authorities, he lied to officials providing false flight
plan data. Prosecutors said he'd been authorized to fly only
over Punta Arenas, but that he kept going south, headlining
or heading for Antarctica in his Cessna one eighty two Q,
(24:23):
a single engine light aircraft known for its versatility. He
was charged on June twenty ninth with handing false information
to ground control and landing without authorization, but on Monday,
a judge dropped the charges as part of an agreement
with his lawyers and Chile's prosecutors. It requires that he
give a thirty thousand dollars donation to a children's cancer
(24:43):
foundation within thirty days to avoid a trial. He must
also leave the country as soon as conditions allow, and
is prohibited from re entering Chilean territory for three years.
On Monday, after the ruling, he told the AP and
a text message that he was relieved by the outcome.
For the past six weeks, he's stayed at a military base.
He was not forced to stay there, only to remain
(25:05):
in Chilean territory, but because of the severe weather in
that part of the you know, southern hemisphere known as Antarctica,
there haven't been any available flights he could take. Turns
out its one place spirit won't go.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I wonder how much that big sea costs.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, he's also been unable to fly his Cessna so
Chilean prosecutors on Monday told reporters that the plane does
not have the capabilities to make a flight. They didn't
provide any additional details. I'm guessing they put a Chilean
boot on it, but the American teen influencer said he
(25:45):
is talking with his lawyers to see if there's any
way he can fly it out of there.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
A Chilean boot is just a really nice cowboy boot with.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
A really long pointed two. You know, it really feels
like life is starting to imitate jackass. Hi, I'm a
nineteen year old idiot. Watch me learn about consequences.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
And give me a plane.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Should we start tagging influencers like endangered species so we
can track their movements and study their dumb choices?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yes, that would be fascinating tags. M they're sure, yes, fashion,
study and scientific.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Who is this kid? Where are his parents?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
No idea? The story, albeit long, mentions nothing about his parents.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Probably because they didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
They're like, look, leave us out of this. So I
know what they said. They said he's adopted.

(27:43):
twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. This
is a name I always need to be careful when
I say it. Chief Keef is thirty years old. Today,
chiefkey is thirty. I say I have to be careful
when I say his name because whenever I say it,
(28:05):
I want to say Chief Quef because it just feels
more natural to say it that. I don't know why
Chief Quef comes out easier than Chief Keith.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
That's his sister.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Anyway. Chief Keith is thirty today. Jennifer Lawrence turns thirty five.
Many many notable roles catmus Everdeen in the Hunger Games movies.
She wanted an oscar for silver Lining's playbook. She was
mystique in the Young X Men movies.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Called it's just kind of what I call them mm
hm x Men first class right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
mean tons and tons of film roles at this point.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Phenomenal actors too. I think she's really really good and
I don't know if it's an underrated role of hers
or not, but I'm a big fan of the movie
Passengers with her and Chris Pratt.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Okay, I never sun.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, really interesting premise for a film that's set in
the future, Jerry, have you seen it? I have not.
So the premise for the film is a spaceship is
leaving Earth and it's going to a new planet a
couple of galaxies away, and it's going to take like
ninety years for it to get there, so all the
(29:22):
people have to be have to basically be asleep in
cold stasis whatever, cryogenically frozen until they arrive to populate
this new planet. Okay, on the way there, the ship
runs into a little bit of trouble and Chris Pratt's
cryo tube pops open and wakes him up about eighty
(29:44):
three years too early, so it's just him on a
ship by himself.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
One thing leads to another. He sees Jennifer Lawrence's tube
and says, I'd like to get with that, and he
figures out how to pop it open, and he does
tube the tube her and eventually her.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Yeah, is anybody else hearing the Final countdown by Europe
in your head?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
It's interesting too, because, like I think it was gen
Z got a hold of the premise of this film
and they're like, oh my god, this, it's this horrible
he he did that without consent. And Hollywood's making money
on this, Like people watch the film, that's what it's about.
This is one of the things I can't stand about
movie controversies. And this is a good example of social
(30:35):
justice woke mob warriors going crazy. And the other most
recent example of the far right fascist people going crazy
is the Superman being an immigrant thing and they don't
like that, and that Superman's two woke everyone on both
extremes Calm the f down, because those extreme takes about
(30:57):
these films have nothing to do or everything to do
with the film in and of itself. Like the extreme
leftists like, oh my god, Chris Pratt's character doing that
against her consent. Yeah, that's the whole point of the film. Yeah,
that's the whole point of the film. Go see the
movie and you'll shut up. You'd be like, oh, I
get it now, Okay, there you go. And then on
(31:17):
the flip side, you get people like Dean Kane who
was Superman, and Lois and Clark saying Superman's two woke
because the director said it's an immigrant story blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah. Go see the movie, Dean, Yeah,
because if you see the movie, it's not like that
at all.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
And also, I would like to see Ice try to
deport somebody back to Kryptop.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Good luck with that. It's no longer there.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
You're gonna need Elon Musk again one of his.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Rockets, because at the end of the day, where do
you send him? Wereville?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Where these people's outrage with Sleeping Beauty, it's.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Oh no, no, Some of those people have out have
voiced their outrage about that as well. That's why some
of the Disney films are having to update some of
their stories two more modern times, because you know, it's like, well,
why does a man have to save her maybe she
can save herself, or why is it dependent on a
kiss from a man or you know, it's like this
is you know, it's it's the patriarchy.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Blah blah blah. I mean I would I would watch
it if it was a kiss from a woman.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
See that's the angle I thought of too. It's like, okay, well,
I'm open to exploring new ideas.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
We can make this unnecessarily hot.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, we we could do a crossover of sleeping beauty
and caged heat. Let's all meet in the middle.

past shows, linked, contact info, and for all available on
our website Treehouse on Air dot com. Have nah yeah
(33:57):
you actually it really is. It really is frustrating as
a normal thinking person to have people on the extremes
of our society right and left, and some that go
so far even beyond those extremes, they somehow end up
on the like the dark side of the moon type
of thinking that you can't just enjoy a movie anymore.
(34:20):
It's got to have some over arcing, nasty political message
in it or it's you know, it's it's it's fascist
or it's racist. You know, it's like when it may
not be, it may not have been intended that way,
but you're right, I mean, Jerry, Like people were or
have started voicing concerns about some of these older children's
stories that turned into Disney films and saying, well, you know,
(34:44):
some of these tropes need to go away, because you know,
women shouldn't be dependent on a man to save them
or an unconsented kiss to get them. And then that
leaves those of us who are having fun in the
middle to say, well, you know what, Okay, well we're
open to a woman delivering that same kiss. Yeah, we
would think of ourselves as open minded. Here inside the treehouse,
(35:07):
let's see where he goes.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I would be there opening day for scissoring Beauty Popcorn,
ready to go, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Drive off into the sunset and there's new in their
new super up. And at the same time, people getting mad,
like on the extreme right saying how it's like, oh, well,
the Superman's woke because he's it's an immigrant story and
(35:45):
blah blah blah. Well that's not new. He's always been
an illegal alien.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I mean he's he's a dreamer. His parents sent him
here like he did right, right, so.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
He didn't have a choice in the matter. He's just
making the most of his circumstances.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
I would love to see him in line for his papers, right,
just waiting with everybody else to get natural natural.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Raise your right hand, Superman.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Except in this newest version, he's going to have to
be detained by Ice, and Ice is wearing their masks,
to which Superman's like, really, I can see right through that.
I did this with Batman, going to do this. I
totally know what youre.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Hey, Dean Kane.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Everyone knows to make fun of my glasses and think
that they can't recognize me versus Clark Camp. But come on, dude,
everyone knows your mouth.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Detain somebody with heat vision.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Okay, let's see how that pans out.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
All right, go ahead and Cuffy.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Watch this.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
I'm not even a magician. What else you got?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Are you actually? Are you actually shooting me?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
I will say that is one of the really cool
things about the quasi forgotten Superman movie. In the middle
of all the Superman stuff is the one that starred
Brandon Routh. I think it was Superman Returns is what
it was called. I still remember that one thing in
that movie that was really really cool is someone's firing
an automatic weapon at him and he's just slowly walking
(37:36):
towards them, not bleaking, and a bullet bounces off his eyeball.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Yeah, yeah, that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yeah, it flattens against his eyeball and then just falls
to the ground. Leg That was a badass scene.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
That's when I that's when I that's when I quit
ice be like, you know what I tried.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It flew off his eye.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I'll speak guys later.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Sorry, man, I started with Eleon Gonzales. I can't handle this.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Put that kid back on a raft.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yeah. I made six year old Cubans I got you,
not thirty year old Kryptonians. Not thirty year old Kryptonians
that can flatten bullets with their eyelids.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Who wants lunch?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I mean it was bad enough. He looked through my
mask and he whispered into my ear.
Speaker 8 (38:32):
I know where your family lives, I know who you are,
and you're.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Not wearing underwear x ra vision.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah. That was the other thing about the Superman Returns
movie starring Brendan Rauth that was a little weird at
the time. Was he was the one that wore the uh,
the bikini brief, like the low rise bikini brief under
rus as part of his costume. Because if you think
about it, the underwear stuff really like the trends follow
(39:07):
under the underwear that Superman wears on the outside, right,
because back in the day, was it the guy that
did Superman on TV's like George Reeve or whatever. It
was like the high waisted, like the swim trunks, the
swim trunk almost up to his chest type stuff. Then
you get Christopher Reeve in the movies in the seventies
and the eighties, and it's a kind of belly button
(39:30):
height on the red underwear outside. Yeah, not quite Speedo.
But then when you get to Brandon Routh's Superman Superman Returns,
that's when you do get sort of that Speedo look
because at the time, the low rise bikini brief was
kind of a thing. It was available in stores, and
so that was Superman's underwear at the time. But then
(39:51):
we had a hell of a leap between Superman Returns
with Brandon Routh and his low rise bikini brief underwear
to Henry Cavel's not wearing a damn thing.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
So, like for this brand new movie, people were wondering, well,
is he gonna have the red under rus on or not.
Is it gonna be like Henry Cavils with nothing, or
is it gonna be like Christopher Reeves. It turned out
to be more like Christopher Reeves. But honestly, I thought
they could have easily have gone the thong route because
that's what's popular now.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Male thongs.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Well, just like, oh you like them.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
We we know this already. This is a well established fact.
There are pictures of me on the internet.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Okay, well that's news to me.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Jerry, you're gonna You're not gonna You're not gonna be
my favorite superman, but you'll be my favorite wonder woman.
