Speaker 1 (00:18):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Thursday May twenty second,
two thousand and twenty five. I've been loosely following the
(00:38):
New Orleans jail escape all week and as of right now,
the last story that I saw said five of the
ten New Orleans jail escapees have been caught. So five
out of ten have been caught so far, which means
five are still on the loose. And twenty thirty years
(01:02):
ago this story might have struck fear into the surrounding
areas of a jail or prison escape. But it's modern times,
and instead of most people being fearful of escape convicts
running around loose, we're now taking bets on who's going
(01:24):
to get caught and who's not. A cryptocurrency trading company
called Polymarket started taking bets on Tuesday over which escaped
New Orleans inmates would be captured by Friday, So prisoner
parlays are now a thing.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
My question is if you're if you're one of the guys,
do you bet on yourself then turn yourself in that
way you have money when you get out.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's an interesting, uh way to look at it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, it's a very looking at it.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
What if it's an Indian way of looking at it?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'm like, you know what, what, what's what am I going
for right now?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Is it possible that this is a clever ruse on
the part of the authorities to get them to turn
themselves in, because, like you said, if they bet on
themselves to turn themselves in to have money on the
other side when they eventually get out legally, then maybe
that's a trick by the authorities.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
No, no, no, what you do is you put in
a parlay, you turn your you're other people in.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Do you win some real money?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
See, that's the right way of doing it, right, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It makes sense. I mean, you know we you know
one or two people that get sent off to federal prison,
and we certainly know how to make some money off
of that, don't we. These are all obviously just in theory,
But I like that, And maybe that's the other clever
side of it is authority said, hey, if we say
(03:11):
or have a company announce we're taking bets, then they'll
start turning each other in to try to make money
on the gambling side.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, I really think you'd be able to. I think
you'd be able to figure out who it was that
did it, Like if you're walking past their cell and
I was like, is that four ramens and a kit cat?
Son of a bitch? Does he have real kool aid? Bastard?
That's right, he got us pinched.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
There is new information. By the way, a maintenance worker
was arrested at the New Orleans jail where the ten
inmates escape. He's accused of helping the inmates get out
of the jail. I don't know if any bets were
taken on that, but inmates Jermaine Donald and Derrick Groves
are sitting at twenty two chance of capture by Friday Antwine, Massey,
(04:04):
Leo Tate, and Linton Van Buren are sitting at twenty
three percent. Corey Corey Boyd has the most expensive odds
at ninety nine cents on yes and ninety eight cents
on no. So I guess I guess he's your I
guess Corey Boyd is the long shot.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Okays your he's your seabiscuit?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, how how are they handicapping this?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I knew you'd have questions. I knew at the Gambler
in the tree House Trade turn Home, I knew you
would have questions about this. And I don't have all
the answers I'm with because I want to know money
line and all that.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Do they have like windtail breaks like you know what
what show?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
No, it absolutely makes sense because if you're going to
handicap the inmates from a gambling point of view, how
do you do that? Do you consider their prior?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do you do you consider their criminal history? Are the
more violent guys more likely or less likely to avoid capture?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I mean, is this a new cottage industry? I mean,
is there going to be a norm Hitskis of jail breaks?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Norm's Guide.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You got Steven A. Smith out there telling people how
terrible they are at jail breaking. Yeah, and I can
tell like the reason when Trey started asking these questions,
I'm like, you know, he's gonna call his bookie at
the break the next break. We think it's so sweet, dollar,
like give me void ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
See. Three of the escapees were captured one day after
the escape. A fourth was captured Monday. But this particular
article I have here doesn't really go into the details
on the handicapping or the methodology in the odds of
(06:17):
certain inmates being captured by Friday or not. Maybe it's
just pure luck.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And then the maintenance guy, like, you don't know if
he was like threatened with harm or threatened with like
you know, once we do get out, we're going to
target your family, So you don't know what his motivation was.
So I mean to arrest him immediately. I mean, I'll
take him in for questioning first and see if he
was like complicit in them leaving.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Well, that may have happened. Actually, the inmates escaped on Friday,
and the maintenance worker accused of helping them escape was
arrested Tuesday. He allegedly turned off the water to the
toilet after being instructed by one of the prisoners. They
then ripped off the toilet and escaped through the hole behind.
(07:02):
So if they escape on Friday and the maintenance worker
is arrested on Tuesday, I'm pretty sure they went through
the normal steps and they probably got a confession out
of him.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, let's also from what I read, this jail has
failed inspections, has not passed an inspection since twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, twelve years.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Yeah, Nolan's.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Good old Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Man, I'm surprised I just.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Didn't open the door and walk out. See you guys later,
see your friend, see you Sam.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Just keep walking.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I don't know why some of these look, you don't
need to make jails and prisons, you know, elaborate to
keep the inmates in because in my mind, a jail or,
I guess a prison in Louisiana would be pretty easily
fortified by just sticking it in the middle of a
(08:00):
swamp surrounded by gators. You don't even need walls or fences,
just say, if you feel lucky, it'd be a lot
cheaper than constructing you know certain uh, you know, massive facilities.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, but necessity is the mother of invention. So you
don't know what these guys will will do or create
to escape, Like depending on how long you're in there for.
Like if you're in there for like you know, a
warrant for speeding, and you're out in a couple hours.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well then you don't go to the gator invested prison.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Or prison prison. Yeah that's true. Noough, and uh yeah,
but I mean people, people will go to extreme measures.
So even if you have like one person escaped Alcatraz right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They believe there's been no confirmation on that there were
three guys that that attempted an escape and they were
never found. They were assumed drowned in the San Francisco Bay, except.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
For one guy that they have a picture of years later.
Conspiracies overwhelmed. They have one a picture of a guy
in like the late seventies, like next to like a
camaro that is almost identical to the guy that broke
out in like the late fifties. So you never know.
I'm just saying, gators, I gotcha. That's a that's a
(09:14):
risk I wouldn't want to take. They hurt bad.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Have you ever watched swamp people?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, I don't know that. I think the gator thing
is really all you think it is. You know if
for people from Louisiana, they.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Swamp puppies.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
You're in the tree House.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Time now to get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and
Restoration into the Treehouse for your free roof inspection. Give
him a call eight three three Cook DFW the website,
Cook dfw dot com Daniel, you and I have talked
for a long time now, and I appreciate our talks.
But even now you can surprise me. I had no
(10:11):
idea you could finance a roof. It's a good thing,
especially if for some reason insurance is not involved and
you don't have you know, twenty thirty forty thousand dollars
just lying around. Maybe you want to explore some options
and you guys have that ability.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Yeah, Dan, we brought that on a couple of years back,
and believe it or not, it really has helped some
folks protect their home, make sure it doesn't leak, and
keep it from having large, large expenses from interior and
attic problems. So the financing is there. We have a
unique link on our website you can go, you put
(10:47):
your information in. It actually is a soft inquiry, so
it doesn't hit your credit with a hard you know,
credit hit that some people are scared of. And it
can gives you you know, five six, eight options, whichever
one helps you the best. So it gives you different terms,
gives you different interest rates, different payments. Some of them
are zero interests for a certain amount of time, so
(11:09):
you may qualify for paying it out and you don't
have to worry about interest. So all kinds of options there.
And it also helps with deductibles. Everybody's deductibles are high
right now. They're ten thousand dollars, eighty five hundred dollars.
I saw one yesterday it was seventeen thousand dollars. So
these helps you know, so if you have to pay
out your deductible, it gives you a perfect option of
(11:30):
doing that as well.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, so it's great. So that way you have that
piece of mind that even if you can't afford that
deductible or you can't afford the cash payment of a
whole new roof, you got options when you get a
hold of cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. So do that,
do yourself a favor. Do that right now, go to

He's trade. That's Raj And that was one of the
most terrifying commercial breaks I've had in quite a long time.
Have you have you, guys, ever had to sneeze while
you're going to the bathroom? Does it frighten you as
much as it does me?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
No, I can honestly say I have never put that
much thought into it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, I just did because I went to the bathroom
and I'm going pp and I start to feel a
little tickle in my left nostril, the indication that I
am about to sneeze, and it scared the hell out
of me because there's a number of things that could
happen if the sneeze gets out. One is I peel
(13:19):
over the bathroom and that's gonna be embarrassing. I gotta
clean that up. Number Two is I cut off the
pee and sneeze. And because I've cut off the front end,
that pressure is gonna have to go somewhere, and the
sneeze could force open the back valve and something worse
may happen. Or if I try to swallow and keep
(13:42):
the sneeze in, I'm worried about then my throat exploding,
which has happened by the way people have This has
been documented when someone tries to like muffle a sneeze,
their throat will basically blow out. So I'm the only
one that gets afraid when sneezing going to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I say this as the oldest person on this show.
What the is happening to your body?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Do you go to a doctor that's not in a
public storage unit?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Like?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Look, I have random thoughts, and I have a tendency
to share my random thoughts with you guys. And the
more times that I do it, the more times I
regret it, because you guys always make it seem like
there's something wrong with me. All I'm saying is all
I'm confessing is that I was going to the bathroom
and I felt the knees coming on, and I was
worried what would happen if I tried to quell the knees.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So why wouldn't you just immediately sit down.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Because then I still got to cut off the peepie
and that hurts.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
What if you're sitting down on the toilet and you
have to sneeze, why would you have to cut things off?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
You could?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I was going number one, so I was standing.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, but if you felt the sneeze coming on, you're like, oh,
to sit down, then I.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Would have had to cut off my peepee stream to
turn and then sit.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You could.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Cutting off the stream hurts. You want me to do
you want me to say that again? You can a
c slater it and sit on the toilet backwards. Yeah,
I'm giving a toilet a lap dance.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now, Yeah, get a book, put it on the on
the back of the toilet.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
First of all, cutting off your stream is actually good
for you.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's how you know.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It's called the bladder exercise, and it's actually good for you.
The only time I have ever really been vexed by
a sneeze is when I had diarrhea.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, now there you can you have a somewhat of
a conundrum. Yeah, but just peeing, No, I I I'm
worried about you.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Ultimately, what I'm sharing with you is I don't like sneezing.
I really don't know, joke, no bit. In all honesty,
I do not like sneezing because I lose control of
my body temporarily, and I don't like losing control of
my body, and so I try to avoid sneezing when
and where I can, and if I'm in the middle
of going to the bathroom, I really want to avoid
(16:17):
the sneeze for fear of what other things may happen.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
That is so weird. I'm learning, and I've known you
for twenty plus years and we're learning something new about you,
and very you might want to you might want to
go to an E and T and be like, I
have some legitimate concerns. I think I'm gonna blow something out.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I am a powerful sneezer, so that's part of the concern.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, I sneeze pretty loud too, But I mean I
don't I don't hold it in. I don't do that
thing like you've heard of people like the back of
your head can explode. It's like eight thousand pounds of
pressure per square inch every time you hold it and sneeze, right,
So it's the same thing with like the throat blowing out.
But I've never blew out the back valve on a
on a sneeze, and I've never peed all over the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Have you ever sneezed while peeing?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Maybe you wouldn't know it.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
If you had, you'd remember it. It would be burned
into your memory.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I may have I've coughed before. I don't know if
that's in the same realm, but uh no, that's uh
that's you might want to guess. You might want to
go get some stuff looked at in order.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I hope you never have to sneeze while Tara is
pegging you.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Jeez, that's a cleanup you don't want to do.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
That's actually my greatest defense.

bad as the thought of sneezing while going to the
bathroom scared me earlier, but this headline is still pretty scary.
When you've seen as many movies as I have. A
(18:57):
mysterious bacteria with unique abilities was to discovered on a
Chinese space station. I would like to go ahead and
formally send condolences to their families because I think the
only thing we can and should be doing is torching
that thing and until there's nothing left. I've seen enough
movies to know what happens. That space station can never
(19:20):
be allowed to return to this planet.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The space stations, yeah, the people inside do, well, they
shouldn't either. That's why I'm offering their families condolences now,
because not only should that space station ever come back
to Earth, the people on it shouldn't either. And I'm sorry,
but that's just how I feel about it. And by
the way, plenty of space chunk ends up back on Earth.
Just ask the entire Russian Space Agency. There's stuff's been
(19:52):
falling out of the skies for decades.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
But being that it hits temperatures of like thirty five
hundred degrees, I think, yeah, yeah, the bacteria, but the people,
but it's China, so I mean they probably won't mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah. But I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I I agree with your sentiment that a rare bacteria
found in space is not something to be trifled with.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
No, it's not. We have trouble with Earth bacteria. You
thought COVID was bad, how about space covid.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
What if it was a bacteria that was on the
space station when it went up and it's now mutated
even worse. Yeah, there you go, not worse than space.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Look anything that we have on Earth. That if there's
any sort of a virus or a bacteria that we
have on Earth, and then while in space we discover
a space version of that virus or bacteria, you know
it's going to be way worse. Just like just like herpes,
(20:53):
there's Earth herpes and then there's space herpes. You know,
space herpes is going to be way, way worse. I
know that because I saw it in Ice Pirates, the movie.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Okay, was Ice Pirates too about Space Aids?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
They they couldn't they couldn't quite get the story right
for Ice Pirates too.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Space Crabs would have been far scarier.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
By the way. Ice Pirates starred Bob Ulrich.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh Spencer yeah, oh yeah, okay the eighties Spencer for higher, Yeah,
Spencer for hire from the eighties TV.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Show and uh, what was this other show, Dantana?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh maybe, yeah, yeah, I think it's right.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah, look at you, look at us being old.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I know, uh and you you what was the excuse
now for watching Ice Pirates.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
It was the eighties and it was a space kind
of a movie that looked a little like Star Wars.
And I was a child.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
There still okay, there's still nokes. No, no, I'm not
letting you dismiss this with child like being in even
me for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
This is not the first time I've brought up the
movie Ice Pirates in face.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
He was an orphan. I mean, it's not like they
got the good movies.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, My Foster Care was a television I.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Mean, that's true. And Annie was about as good as
it got.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I did did for his own Daddy war Bucks.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, I never had a Daddy war Bucks. I'm I'm
still waiting for my son to come up tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Did you did they give Did they give your family
a VHS copy of Ice Pirates when they traded you
at the Walmart? Because I like, well, that's the consolation price, Like,
here's your baby and a copy of Bob Orrick's Pirates
on on data. Look a track to go with it.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Ice Pirates had Bob Urick from Spencer for Hire. Okay,
also had uh, let's see John Matusac who played Sloth
in Goonies and NFL Great, he was in that as well.
So with a special appearance by Space Herpes.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, those two guys were in it because that's the
point in their career. They're like, we need cash now.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Look, it's either this ord or paid a advance loan. Yeah,
so they went with the.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Movie at that point. It was that our Circus of
the Star with the Stars.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Hey, Dick Van Patton ruled that, just to let you
know it was not enough.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Okay, I watched Circus with the Stars, but I don't
remember Dick Van Patton doing the Trapees.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Oh then you missed that year.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
He didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I want to go back and watch that.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
They need to bring that back. I just want to
see that again. Those are some good times, and you know,
and it gave Charro work. If you want to show being.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Old, Charo is still out there shaking her Cucci Coucci
follow her on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
She still looks the same she does. It's so creepy.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I'm like, probably, I think she probably looks the same
because she stayed so active on certain.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
That hip don't break. Yes, I wonder can we look
up with the the the Rotten Tomatoes is on Ice Pirates.
I just I'm just curious.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, we can do that. Hang on, let's see Ice
Pirates Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
If it just has f you, that'll be the best one.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
All right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The Ice Pirates, starring Bob Urick, came out in March
of nineteen eighty four, rated PG sci fi space raider
Jason played by Robert Urick and his sidekick Michael D. Roberts,
help a princess played by Mary Crosby, Finder Father and
explorers seeking Water. Critics give it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
US seventeen seventeen seventeen Oh, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Seventeen percent is the critics score for Ice Pirates. The
audience score is fifty. Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Okay, and as you fair in fairness, this is how
this is what a blockbuster Ice Pirates was. There are
only twelve critics reviews. Did it in a time where
every there were newspapers in every town across the country
(26:05):
and everyone had a movie reviewer.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
There's still only twelve reviews.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, that's the twelve people that just got hired as
a critic. Hey, you're covering Ice Pirates like son of
a Bitch.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah. Cisco and Ebert didn't even give any thumbs for
this one because they.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Didn't bother Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Okay, So that's it's a hell of a film.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I'm telling you. If you ever want to waste an
hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, no, I'll just take your word for it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah, I've already given you the good parts.

That's Treehouse on Air at gmail dot com. To advertise
right here inside the Treehouse Show, I'm Daniel Maley along
with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Thursday May
(27:29):
twenty second, twenty twenty five. It's been a while since
I've been in therapy, and I've decided that I want
to go back to therapy because I have lots of
stuff on my mind, lots of stuff in my heart,
and so I've decided to start seeing a new therapist.
It's a controversial therapist with controversial methods, but I'm willing
(27:53):
to explore for the sake of you know, mental wellbeing
and mental health. So I would now like to share
with you my new therapist. Give me just a moment.
Mm hmmmmmmm uh, Trey, Raj, I would like you to
meet my new therapist.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Okay, me wish me knew when me was just a little.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Monster cookie monster.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, he's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
He's one of my favorites too. Look, mental health is
an important thing and I feel like everyone can benefit
with some form of therapy. And seeing as how therapy
is very expensive these days, I've decided to try him
up at therapy on social media, and who better to
go to than Cookie Monster And this is the first session.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Three things me wish me knew when me was just
a little monster. One things not always go you away
and that okay, yeah, it's just how the cookie crumbles. Mmmm,
cookie crumbles me. Two self care, Yeah, that that's very important. Yeah,
(29:06):
make sure you treat yourself to you know, maybe like
a like a little bubble bath or an eye mask, yeah,
or some delicious cookies m me nam. And three just
because something look like a cookie doesn't mean that it
(29:27):
is cookie.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Ooh um.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Numb, but it still tastes pretty good.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
So at the end there he is drawing a picture
of a cookie and he eats it because it looks
like a cookie. That's pretty profound advice.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I have a couple of observations. Number one, he was
painting a cookie and then he ate the paint. Your
therapist is also suffering from a severe addiction to cookies,
so he has obsessive compulsive disorder. And it also sounds
like this is where the inspiration for how mister Miagi
spoke could be.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Look, I think it's important that you go to a
therapist that understands your problems and has had problems that
they too have overcome, and that's why they want to
share their knowledge and skills with others. I like to
think that because of Cookie Monster, I will have better
mental health. The downside is I'm going to also need
(30:39):
a nutrition coach because because a lot of his a
lot of Cookie Monster's solutions to mental health are cookies. Yes,
But at the same time, when I saw this the
other day, I was like, you know what this. I
feel just as good after thirty seconds of watching Cookie
Monster than thirty minutes with an honest to god therapist.
(30:59):
So I'm just going to lean into the muppet therapy
for a while.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Was was Oscar not available?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He's full, He's not accepting new patients right now.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Also, picture you just listening to this as a sage
of therapeutic advice. And then the next thing I just
see is stand in a bubble bath with an eye
mask and a chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's living my best life.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
That sounds like great self care.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
It does.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I can dig that.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
And by the way, I don't even know if Oscar
the Grouch does therapy, but I do know his life
coaching business is really taken off.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
You know, He's he was the first one to have
like a mobile service because you can you can take
that trash can anywhere. Yeah, I would go with Muppet therapy.
That sounds like something you know, we grew up watching it.
It made sense. I wouldn't like, I wouldn't want to
go to snuffle up I guess for advice. He just
seems severely depressed and should be the top of Cookie
(32:05):
Monsters client list.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, if Sesame Street has a suicide helpline, you don't
want snuffle Upagus on the receiving end.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Although that episode would be hilarious.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
At that point, I'm pretty sure public broadcasting would absolutely
be defunded.

(33:16):
I'm dan, he's trade. That's raj. I don't think I
ever knew that about Snufhalophagus Trey.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Yeah, you know, he was considered a figment of big
birds imagination. And then I remember that at some point, uh,
other people could see him, and then they had to
apologize to Big Bird for thinking he was like making
it up m h, and that that was the whole
thing of Uh, you know, I forgot what the I
forgot what the lesson was, but there was a lesson there.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
The idea is that sesame streets full of enablers.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
They're just always given, always given Cookie Monster the cookies.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah, Cookie Monster gets the cookies. They let Oscar say
all the mean things to him without any sort of consequences,
and they go on letting bid and they keep letting
Big Bird think that he's got a big, fluffy, prehistoric
looking friend.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Well I think it was designed, if I'm right, it's
for kids that had imaginary friends to not feel isolated.
Like that's like big Bird has one too, so it's
okay that I have one. And then everybody could see him.
I don't know what the catalyst for that was. And
then there's Missus snuffle up with us as well. They
brought that in. So he's got he's got a part
(34:29):
of like a wife and so.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
So Big Bird didn't just have an imaginary friend. He
had an imaginary friend with an imaginary family.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
I think it's just the life.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I don't think they I don't think they conceived during
the run.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
The imaginary friend and his wife couldn't conceive. That's sad.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
It's Sesame Street. Combat had so many problems, it really did.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
And so yeah, I didn't. I don't know if I
ever knew or realized because I was so young when
I watched Sesame Street that snuffleuff I guess was Big
Bird's imaginary friend. Uh, I don't. There's lots of things
I don't remember since I was a child, so that's
really not a shock. But I mean I had an imagine.
I remember I had an imaginary friends as a small child.
He did not look like a muppet. He just looked
(35:14):
like another kid, which I'm now realizing I should never
share things with you too. That the way you two
are looking at me right now, I just need to
shut up and never talk again to you.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Got.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yes, I had an imaginary friend. I lived in the
country and I was the only kid in my age
bracket within ten miles.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
What was his name?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I think it was Timmy, Timmy, Yeah, it was a Johnny.
Maybe it was johnn Oh, I have to I'd have
to ask my mom or my sister. I'm pretty sure
that they they remember his name.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, and where would you? Did you see him all
the time? Just what I was playing, just when you're
playing on like on out on the land of the
uh the rural. Yeah? Yeah, so he could have possibly
been murdered. And that's who you're saying.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
So you're saying I didn't have an imaginary friend, but
that I had a ghost friend.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yes. Yes.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
The sad thing is is I can't immediately say that's
stupid because.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I don't know how was he, how was he dressed? Dan?
Speaker 4 (36:16):
What? What? What did?
Speaker 2 (36:17):
What did little Johnny?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Little?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
What did a little Timmy Johnny where?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I don't know, I don't know we're talking about this
was this is forty years ago. I don't remember what
the kid wore.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah you do, I can see it on your face.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
No, I really don't.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Was there like an axe in his head?
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Or no, he.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Didn't want have scared me? Did you play that fun
game of Where are My parents?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
That was the thing he and I had in common.
That's how we found each other in the field. That's
when you know it's bad. When the ghost feel sad
for you. It's like, yo, that's he probably did. That's
probably why he's stuck around. He's like, man, I may
be dead, but I feel bad for this a live kid.
Me hang out with him? Blake g I Joe's and stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
You played g I Jos with an imaginary friend? All right, You.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Guys didn't have an imaginary friend.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I couldn't even tray see. I figured Trey might because
he was an only kid. I wasn't an only kid.
My sister, though, was so much older than me that
we didn't typically play together. So I figured, if of
all of us, I thought Trey, you would have an
imaginary friend as well.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
No, I had friends Dan.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Rubbing in.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
They weren't wearing eighteenth century clothes and blue forming the
land name Timmy Johnny, Timmy john John.
Speaker 1 (37:56):

I have divulged way too much to you inside the
(38:50):
Treehouse today, so I'm gonna stop and instead I'm going
to share something not personal but instead just really kind
of funny and interesting and perhaps a bit shocking. You
guys are familiar with Oscar Meyer, right, the food company.
That means you're probably familiar with the Wiener Mobile, the
(39:11):
Wiener Mobile. Yes, okay, Well, the Indy five hundred is
this Sunday, and there are lots of festivities that surround
that famous race, including the Weenie five hundred. The Weeni
five hundred is the first competitive race for the entire
(39:32):
Wiener Mobile fleet. All six Wiener mobiles will be in
the same place at the Indy five hundred on Sunday,
competing in the Weeni five hundred. Just let that soak in.
Let you process a lot of information right there. Each
(39:57):
Wiener mobile will represent a is stinct regional hot Dogs
is starting to sound like the Hunger Games. Number one
is the Shy Dog. That's the the Wienermobile, representing the Midwest.
Representing the East Coast will be the New York Dog,
the Southeast is the Slaw Dog, the Southwest will be
the Sonoran Dog, the South will be represented by the
(40:19):
Chili Dog, and representing the Northwest will be the Seattle Dog,
also known as the Homeless Dog. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
They say. It's also going to include custom hot dogger
racing suits and a finish line celebration in the Wieners Circle.
I bet that's going to be an amazing finish.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Line and the person will be.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Because it probably won't be milk that they're dousing themselves
with at the end.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
The five, or as Bonnie Blue calls it, Saturday.

Comedian Raj. We'll see you back in here tomorrow for
a frid Date edition of the Treehouse
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Thursday May twenty second,
two thousand and twenty five. I've been loosely following the
(00:38):
New Orleans jail escape all week and as of right now,
the last story that I saw said five of the
ten New Orleans jail escapees have been caught. So five
out of ten have been caught so far, which means
five are still on the loose. And twenty thirty years
(01:02):
ago this story might have struck fear into the surrounding
areas of a jail or prison escape. But it's modern times,
and instead of most people being fearful of escape convicts
running around loose, we're now taking bets on who's going
(01:24):
to get caught and who's not. A cryptocurrency trading company
called Polymarket started taking bets on Tuesday over which escaped
New Orleans inmates would be captured by Friday, So prisoner
parlays are now a thing.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
My question is if you're if you're one of the guys,
do you bet on yourself then turn yourself in that
way you have money when you get out.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's an interesting, uh way to look at it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, it's a very looking at it.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
What if it's an Indian way of looking at it?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'm like, you know what, what, what's what am I going
for right now?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Is it possible that this is a clever ruse on
the part of the authorities to get them to turn
themselves in, because, like you said, if they bet on
themselves to turn themselves in to have money on the
other side when they eventually get out legally, then maybe
that's a trick by the authorities.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
No, no, no, what you do is you put in
a parlay, you turn your you're other people in.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Do you win some real money?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
See, that's the right way of doing it, right, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It makes sense. I mean, you know we you know
one or two people that get sent off to federal prison,
and we certainly know how to make some money off
of that, don't we. These are all obviously just in theory,
But I like that, And maybe that's the other clever
side of it is authority said, hey, if we say
(03:11):
or have a company announce we're taking bets, then they'll
start turning each other in to try to make money
on the gambling side.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, I really think you'd be able to. I think
you'd be able to figure out who it was that
did it, Like if you're walking past their cell and
I was like, is that four ramens and a kit cat?
Son of a bitch? Does he have real kool aid? Bastard?
That's right, he got us pinched.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
There is new information. By the way, a maintenance worker
was arrested at the New Orleans jail where the ten
inmates escape. He's accused of helping the inmates get out
of the jail. I don't know if any bets were
taken on that, but inmates Jermaine Donald and Derrick Groves
are sitting at twenty two chance of capture by Friday Antwine, Massey,
(04:04):
Leo Tate, and Linton Van Buren are sitting at twenty
three percent. Corey Corey Boyd has the most expensive odds
at ninety nine cents on yes and ninety eight cents
on no. So I guess I guess he's your I
guess Corey Boyd is the long shot.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Okays your he's your seabiscuit?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, how how are they handicapping this?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I knew you'd have questions. I knew at the Gambler
in the tree House Trade turn Home, I knew you
would have questions about this. And I don't have all
the answers I'm with because I want to know money
line and all that.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Do they have like windtail breaks like you know what
what show?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
No, it absolutely makes sense because if you're going to
handicap the inmates from a gambling point of view, how
do you do that? Do you consider their prior?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do you do you consider their criminal history? Are the
more violent guys more likely or less likely to avoid capture?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I mean, is this a new cottage industry? I mean,
is there going to be a norm Hitskis of jail breaks?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Norm's Guide.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You got Steven A. Smith out there telling people how
terrible they are at jail breaking. Yeah, and I can
tell like the reason when Trey started asking these questions,
I'm like, you know, he's gonna call his bookie at
the break the next break. We think it's so sweet, dollar,
like give me void ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
See. Three of the escapees were captured one day after
the escape. A fourth was captured Monday. But this particular
article I have here doesn't really go into the details
on the handicapping or the methodology in the odds of
(06:17):
certain inmates being captured by Friday or not. Maybe it's
just pure luck.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And then the maintenance guy, like, you don't know if
he was like threatened with harm or threatened with like
you know, once we do get out, we're going to
target your family, So you don't know what his motivation was.
So I mean to arrest him immediately. I mean, I'll
take him in for questioning first and see if he
was like complicit in them leaving.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Well, that may have happened. Actually, the inmates escaped on Friday,
and the maintenance worker accused of helping them escape was
arrested Tuesday. He allegedly turned off the water to the
toilet after being instructed by one of the prisoners. They
then ripped off the toilet and escaped through the hole behind.
(07:02):
So if they escape on Friday and the maintenance worker
is arrested on Tuesday, I'm pretty sure they went through
the normal steps and they probably got a confession out
of him.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, let's also from what I read, this jail has
failed inspections, has not passed an inspection since twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, twelve years.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Yeah, Nolan's.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Good old Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Man, I'm surprised I just.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Didn't open the door and walk out. See you guys later,
see your friend, see you Sam.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Just keep walking.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I don't know why some of these look, you don't
need to make jails and prisons, you know, elaborate to
keep the inmates in because in my mind, a jail or,
I guess a prison in Louisiana would be pretty easily
fortified by just sticking it in the middle of a
(08:00):
swamp surrounded by gators. You don't even need walls or fences,
just say, if you feel lucky, it'd be a lot
cheaper than constructing you know certain uh, you know, massive facilities.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, but necessity is the mother of invention. So you
don't know what these guys will will do or create
to escape, Like depending on how long you're in there for.
Like if you're in there for like you know, a
warrant for speeding, and you're out in a couple hours.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well then you don't go to the gator invested prison.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Or prison prison. Yeah that's true. Noough, and uh yeah,
but I mean people, people will go to extreme measures.
So even if you have like one person escaped Alcatraz right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They believe there's been no confirmation on that there were
three guys that that attempted an escape and they were
never found. They were assumed drowned in the San Francisco Bay, except.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
For one guy that they have a picture of years later.
Conspiracies overwhelmed. They have one a picture of a guy
in like the late seventies, like next to like a
camaro that is almost identical to the guy that broke
out in like the late fifties. So you never know.
I'm just saying, gators, I gotcha. That's a that's a
(09:14):
risk I wouldn't want to take. They hurt bad.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Have you ever watched swamp people?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, I don't know that. I think the gator thing
is really all you think it is. You know if
for people from Louisiana, they.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Swamp puppies.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
You're in the tree House.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Visit us online at the Treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Time now to get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and
Restoration into the Treehouse for your free roof inspection. Give
him a call eight three three Cook DFW the website,
Cook dfw dot com Daniel, you and I have talked
for a long time now, and I appreciate our talks.
But even now you can surprise me. I had no
(10:11):
idea you could finance a roof. It's a good thing,
especially if for some reason insurance is not involved and
you don't have you know, twenty thirty forty thousand dollars
just lying around. Maybe you want to explore some options
and you guys have that ability.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Yeah, Dan, we brought that on a couple of years back,
and believe it or not, it really has helped some
folks protect their home, make sure it doesn't leak, and
keep it from having large, large expenses from interior and
attic problems. So the financing is there. We have a
unique link on our website you can go, you put
(10:47):
your information in. It actually is a soft inquiry, so
it doesn't hit your credit with a hard you know,
credit hit that some people are scared of. And it
can gives you you know, five six, eight options, whichever
one helps you the best. So it gives you different terms,
gives you different interest rates, different payments. Some of them
are zero interests for a certain amount of time, so
(11:09):
you may qualify for paying it out and you don't
have to worry about interest. So all kinds of options there.
And it also helps with deductibles. Everybody's deductibles are high
right now. They're ten thousand dollars, eighty five hundred dollars.
I saw one yesterday it was seventeen thousand dollars. So
these helps you know, so if you have to pay
out your deductible, it gives you a perfect option of
(11:30):
doing that as well.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, so it's great. So that way you have that
piece of mind that even if you can't afford that
deductible or you can't afford the cash payment of a
whole new roof, you got options when you get a
hold of cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. So do that,

most terrifying commercial breaks I've had in quite a long time.
Have you have you, guys, ever had to sneeze while
you're going to the bathroom? Does it frighten you as
much as it does me?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
No, I can honestly say I have never put that
much thought into it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, I just did because I went to the bathroom
and I'm going pp and I start to feel a
little tickle in my left nostril, the indication that I
am about to sneeze, and it scared the hell out
of me because there's a number of things that could
happen if the sneeze gets out. One is I peel
(13:19):
over the bathroom and that's gonna be embarrassing. I gotta
clean that up. Number Two is I cut off the
pee and sneeze. And because I've cut off the front end,
that pressure is gonna have to go somewhere, and the
sneeze could force open the back valve and something worse
may happen. Or if I try to swallow and keep
(13:42):
the sneeze in, I'm worried about then my throat exploding,
which has happened by the way people have This has
been documented when someone tries to like muffle a sneeze,
their throat will basically blow out. So I'm the only
one that gets afraid when sneezing going to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I say this as the oldest person on this show.
What the is happening to your body?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Do you go to a doctor that's not in a
public storage unit?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Like?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Look, I have random thoughts, and I have a tendency
to share my random thoughts with you guys. And the
more times that I do it, the more times I
regret it, because you guys always make it seem like
there's something wrong with me. All I'm saying is all
I'm confessing is that I was going to the bathroom
and I felt the knees coming on, and I was
worried what would happen if I tried to quell the knees.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So why wouldn't you just immediately sit down.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Because then I still got to cut off the peepie
and that hurts.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
What if you're sitting down on the toilet and you
have to sneeze, why would you have to cut things off?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
You could?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I was going number one, so I was standing.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, but if you felt the sneeze coming on, you're like, oh,
to sit down, then I.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Would have had to cut off my peepee stream to
turn and then sit.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You could.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Cutting off the stream hurts. You want me to do
you want me to say that again? You can a
c slater it and sit on the toilet backwards. Yeah,
I'm giving a toilet a lap dance.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now, Yeah, get a book, put it on the on
the back of the toilet.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
First of all, cutting off your stream is actually good
for you.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's how you know.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It's called the bladder exercise, and it's actually good for you.
The only time I have ever really been vexed by
a sneeze is when I had diarrhea.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, now there you can you have a somewhat of
a conundrum. Yeah, but just peeing, No, I I I'm
worried about you.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Ultimately, what I'm sharing with you is I don't like sneezing.
I really don't know, joke, no bit. In all honesty,
I do not like sneezing because I lose control of
my body temporarily, and I don't like losing control of
my body, and so I try to avoid sneezing when
and where I can, and if I'm in the middle
of going to the bathroom, I really want to avoid
(16:17):
the sneeze for fear of what other things may happen.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
That is so weird. I'm learning, and I've known you
for twenty plus years and we're learning something new about you,
and very you might want to you might want to
go to an E and T and be like, I
have some legitimate concerns. I think I'm gonna blow something out.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I am a powerful sneezer, so that's part of the concern.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, I sneeze pretty loud too, But I mean I
don't I don't hold it in. I don't do that
thing like you've heard of people like the back of
your head can explode. It's like eight thousand pounds of
pressure per square inch every time you hold it and sneeze, right,
So it's the same thing with like the throat blowing out.
But I've never blew out the back valve on a
on a sneeze, and I've never peed all over the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Have you ever sneezed while peeing?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Maybe you wouldn't know it.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
If you had, you'd remember it. It would be burned
into your memory.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I may have I've coughed before. I don't know if
that's in the same realm, but uh no, that's uh
that's you might want to guess. You might want to
go get some stuff looked at in order.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I hope you never have to sneeze while Tara is
pegging you.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Jeez, that's a cleanup you don't want to do.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
That's actually my greatest defense.

bad as the thought of sneezing while going to the
bathroom scared me earlier, but this headline is still pretty scary.
When you've seen as many movies as I have. A
(18:57):
mysterious bacteria with unique abilities was to discovered on a
Chinese space station. I would like to go ahead and
formally send condolences to their families because I think the
only thing we can and should be doing is torching
that thing and until there's nothing left. I've seen enough
movies to know what happens. That space station can never
(19:20):
be allowed to return to this planet.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The space stations, yeah, the people inside do, well, they
shouldn't either. That's why I'm offering their families condolences now,
because not only should that space station ever come back
to Earth, the people on it shouldn't either. And I'm sorry,
but that's just how I feel about it. And by
the way, plenty of space chunk ends up back on Earth.
Just ask the entire Russian Space Agency. There's stuff's been
(19:52):
falling out of the skies for decades.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
But being that it hits temperatures of like thirty five
hundred degrees, I think, yeah, yeah, the bacteria, but the people,
but it's China, so I mean they probably won't mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah. But I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I I agree with your sentiment that a rare bacteria
found in space is not something to be trifled with.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
No, it's not. We have trouble with Earth bacteria. You
thought COVID was bad, how about space covid.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
What if it was a bacteria that was on the
space station when it went up and it's now mutated
even worse. Yeah, there you go, not worse than space.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Look anything that we have on Earth. That if there's
any sort of a virus or a bacteria that we
have on Earth, and then while in space we discover
a space version of that virus or bacteria, you know
it's going to be way worse. Just like just like herpes,
(20:53):
there's Earth herpes and then there's space herpes. You know,
space herpes is going to be way, way worse. I
know that because I saw it in Ice Pirates, the movie.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Okay, was Ice Pirates too about Space Aids?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
They they couldn't they couldn't quite get the story right
for Ice Pirates too.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Space Crabs would have been far scarier.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
By the way. Ice Pirates starred Bob Ulrich.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh Spencer yeah, oh yeah, okay the eighties Spencer for higher, Yeah,
Spencer for hire from the eighties TV.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Show and uh, what was this other show, Dantana?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh maybe, yeah, yeah, I think it's right.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah, look at you, look at us being old.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I know, uh and you you what was the excuse
now for watching Ice Pirates.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
It was the eighties and it was a space kind
of a movie that looked a little like Star Wars.
And I was a child.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
There still okay, there's still nokes. No, no, I'm not
letting you dismiss this with child like being in even
me for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
This is not the first time I've brought up the
movie Ice Pirates in face.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
He was an orphan. I mean, it's not like they
got the good movies.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, My Foster Care was a television I.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Mean, that's true. And Annie was about as good as
it got.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I did did for his own Daddy war Bucks.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, I never had a Daddy war Bucks. I'm I'm
still waiting for my son to come up tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Did you did they give Did they give your family
a VHS copy of Ice Pirates when they traded you
at the Walmart? Because I like, well, that's the consolation price, Like,
here's your baby and a copy of Bob Orrick's Pirates
on on data. Look a track to go with it.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Ice Pirates had Bob Urick from Spencer for Hire. Okay,
also had uh, let's see John Matusac who played Sloth
in Goonies and NFL Great, he was in that as well.
So with a special appearance by Space Herpes.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, those two guys were in it because that's the
point in their career. They're like, we need cash now.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Look, it's either this ord or paid a advance loan. Yeah,
so they went with the.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Movie at that point. It was that our Circus of
the Star with the Stars.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Hey, Dick Van Patton ruled that, just to let you
know it was not enough.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Okay, I watched Circus with the Stars, but I don't
remember Dick Van Patton doing the Trapees.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Oh then you missed that year.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
He didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I want to go back and watch that.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
They need to bring that back. I just want to
see that again. Those are some good times, and you know,
and it gave Charro work. If you want to show being.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Old, Charo is still out there shaking her Cucci Coucci
follow her on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
She still looks the same she does. It's so creepy.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I'm like, probably, I think she probably looks the same
because she stayed so active on certain.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
That hip don't break. Yes, I wonder can we look
up with the the the Rotten Tomatoes is on Ice Pirates.
I just I'm just curious.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, we can do that. Hang on, let's see Ice
Pirates Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
If it just has f you, that'll be the best one.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
All right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The Ice Pirates, starring Bob Urick, came out in March
of nineteen eighty four, rated PG sci fi space raider
Jason played by Robert Urick and his sidekick Michael D. Roberts,
help a princess played by Mary Crosby, Finder Father and
explorers seeking Water. Critics give it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
US seventeen seventeen seventeen Oh, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Seventeen percent is the critics score for Ice Pirates. The
audience score is fifty. Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Okay, and as you fair in fairness, this is how
this is what a blockbuster Ice Pirates was. There are
only twelve critics reviews. Did it in a time where
every there were newspapers in every town across the country
(26:05):
and everyone had a movie reviewer.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
There's still only twelve reviews.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, that's the twelve people that just got hired as
a critic. Hey, you're covering Ice Pirates like son of
a Bitch.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah. Cisco and Ebert didn't even give any thumbs for
this one because they.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Didn't bother Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Okay, So that's it's a hell of a film.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I'm telling you. If you ever want to waste an
hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, no, I'll just take your word for it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah, I've already given you the good parts.
Speaker 3 (26:40):

That's Treehouse on Air at gmail dot com. To advertise
right here inside the Treehouse Show, I'm Daniel Maley along
with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Thursday May
(27:29):
twenty second, twenty twenty five. It's been a while since
I've been in therapy, and I've decided that I want
to go back to therapy because I have lots of
stuff on my mind, lots of stuff in my heart,
and so I've decided to start seeing a new therapist.
It's a controversial therapist with controversial methods, but I'm willing
(27:53):
to explore for the sake of you know, mental wellbeing
and mental health. So I would now like to share
with you my new therapist. Give me just a moment.
Mm hmmmmmmm uh, Trey, Raj, I would like you to
meet my new therapist.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Okay, me wish me knew when me was just a little.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Monster cookie monster.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, he's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
He's one of my favorites too. Look, mental health is
an important thing and I feel like everyone can benefit
with some form of therapy. And seeing as how therapy
is very expensive these days, I've decided to try him
up at therapy on social media, and who better to
go to than Cookie Monster And this is the first session.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Three things me wish me knew when me was just
a little monster. One things not always go you away
and that okay, yeah, it's just how the cookie crumbles. Mmmm,
cookie crumbles me. Two self care, Yeah, that that's very important. Yeah,
(29:06):
make sure you treat yourself to you know, maybe like
a like a little bubble bath or an eye mask, yeah,
or some delicious cookies m me nam. And three just
because something look like a cookie doesn't mean that it
(29:27):
is cookie.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Ooh um.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Numb, but it still tastes pretty good.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
So at the end there he is drawing a picture
of a cookie and he eats it because it looks
like a cookie. That's pretty profound advice.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I have a couple of observations. Number one, he was
painting a cookie and then he ate the paint. Your
therapist is also suffering from a severe addiction to cookies,
so he has obsessive compulsive disorder. And it also sounds
like this is where the inspiration for how mister Miagi
spoke could be.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Look, I think it's important that you go to a
therapist that understands your problems and has had problems that
they too have overcome, and that's why they want to
share their knowledge and skills with others. I like to
think that because of Cookie Monster, I will have better
mental health. The downside is I'm going to also need
(30:39):
a nutrition coach because because a lot of his a
lot of Cookie Monster's solutions to mental health are cookies. Yes,
But at the same time, when I saw this the
other day, I was like, you know what this. I
feel just as good after thirty seconds of watching Cookie
Monster than thirty minutes with an honest to god therapist.
(30:59):
So I'm just going to lean into the muppet therapy
for a while.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Was was Oscar not available?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He's full, He's not accepting new patients right now.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Also, picture you just listening to this as a sage
of therapeutic advice. And then the next thing I just
see is stand in a bubble bath with an eye
mask and a chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's living my best life.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
That sounds like great self care.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
It does.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I can dig that.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
And by the way, I don't even know if Oscar
the Grouch does therapy, but I do know his life
coaching business is really taken off.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
You know, He's he was the first one to have
like a mobile service because you can you can take
that trash can anywhere. Yeah, I would go with Muppet therapy.
That sounds like something you know, we grew up watching it.
It made sense. I wouldn't like, I wouldn't want to
go to snuffle up I guess for advice. He just
seems severely depressed and should be the top of Cookie
(32:05):
Monsters client list.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, if Sesame Street has a suicide helpline, you don't
want snuffle Upagus on the receiving end.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Although that episode would be hilarious.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
At that point, I'm pretty sure public broadcasting would absolutely
be defunded.

(33:16):
I'm dan, he's trade. That's raj. I don't think I
ever knew that about Snufhalophagus Trey.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Yeah, you know, he was considered a figment of big
birds imagination. And then I remember that at some point, uh,
other people could see him, and then they had to
apologize to Big Bird for thinking he was like making
it up m h, and that that was the whole
thing of Uh, you know, I forgot what the I
forgot what the lesson was, but there was a lesson there.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
The idea is that sesame streets full of enablers.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
They're just always given, always given Cookie Monster the cookies.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah, Cookie Monster gets the cookies. They let Oscar say
all the mean things to him without any sort of consequences,
and they go on letting bid and they keep letting
Big Bird think that he's got a big, fluffy, prehistoric
looking friend.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Well I think it was designed, if I'm right, it's
for kids that had imaginary friends to not feel isolated.
Like that's like big Bird has one too, so it's
okay that I have one. And then everybody could see him.
I don't know what the catalyst for that was. And
then there's Missus snuffle up with us as well. They
brought that in. So he's got he's got a part
(34:29):
of like a wife and so.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
So Big Bird didn't just have an imaginary friend. He
had an imaginary friend with an imaginary family.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
I think it's just the life.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I don't think they I don't think they conceived during
the run.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
The imaginary friend and his wife couldn't conceive. That's sad.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
It's Sesame Street. Combat had so many problems, it really did.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
And so yeah, I didn't. I don't know if I
ever knew or realized because I was so young when
I watched Sesame Street that snuffleuff I guess was Big
Bird's imaginary friend. Uh, I don't. There's lots of things
I don't remember since I was a child, so that's
really not a shock. But I mean I had an imagine.
I remember I had an imaginary friends as a small child.
He did not look like a muppet. He just looked
(35:14):
like another kid, which I'm now realizing I should never
share things with you too. That the way you two
are looking at me right now, I just need to
shut up and never talk again to you.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Got.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yes, I had an imaginary friend. I lived in the
country and I was the only kid in my age
bracket within ten miles.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
What was his name?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I think it was Timmy, Timmy, Yeah, it was a Johnny.
Maybe it was johnn Oh, I have to I'd have
to ask my mom or my sister. I'm pretty sure
that they they remember his name.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, and where would you? Did you see him all
the time? Just what I was playing, just when you're
playing on like on out on the land of the
uh the rural. Yeah? Yeah, so he could have possibly
been murdered. And that's who you're saying.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
So you're saying I didn't have an imaginary friend, but
that I had a ghost friend.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yes. Yes.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
The sad thing is is I can't immediately say that's
stupid because.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I don't know how was he, how was he dressed? Dan?
Speaker 4 (36:16):
What? What? What did?
Speaker 2 (36:17):
What did little Johnny?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Little?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
What did a little Timmy Johnny where?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I don't know, I don't know we're talking about this
was this is forty years ago. I don't remember what
the kid wore.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah you do, I can see it on your face.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
No, I really don't.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Was there like an axe in his head?
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Or no, he.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Didn't want have scared me? Did you play that fun
game of Where are My parents?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
That was the thing he and I had in common.
That's how we found each other in the field. That's
when you know it's bad. When the ghost feel sad
for you. It's like, yo, that's he probably did. That's
probably why he's stuck around. He's like, man, I may
be dead, but I feel bad for this a live kid.
Me hang out with him? Blake g I Joe's and stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
You played g I Jos with an imaginary friend? All right, You.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Guys didn't have an imaginary friend.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I couldn't even tray see. I figured Trey might because
he was an only kid. I wasn't an only kid.
My sister, though, was so much older than me that
we didn't typically play together. So I figured, if of
all of us, I thought Trey, you would have an
imaginary friend as well.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
No, I had friends Dan.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Rubbing in.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
They weren't wearing eighteenth century clothes and blue forming the
land name Timmy Johnny, Timmy john John.

of funny and interesting and perhaps a bit shocking. You
