Speaker 1 (00:24):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Maley along with
Trey Trendholm. Today is April seventh, twenty twenty five. Welcome
to the beginning of a brand new week right here
inside the treehouse. And I want to start this week
off with a very big moving question.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I love how your eyebrows shot up.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Their trey slash spock because you know that whenever I
set something up, it's always going to be loaded, and
this is no exception. So the moving question for you
to start the week is this. How many hours per
week do you think you spend in the bathroom, not
(01:10):
showering and brushing your teeth, but sitting there on your
throne doing your business?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
How many hours per week do you think you spend
on the toilet?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I less than thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Okay, good on you for being so efficient. I have
a theory as to why your time is that small
on a weekly basis inside your bathroom.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Well, for one thing is because I'm a regular and
I don't I don't go every day.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Oh okay, all right, Well I hadn't thought about the
actual medical reason. I was thinking more of your single
and therefore there's no reason for you to hide in
your bathroom.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I've never fully understood, Like, I hate God, God, this
sounds old back in the days when it actually had newspapers.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I you know it might be inclined to more sit
there for a while and read an article, but at
a certain point it's not really that comfortable of a position.
Your leg's hurt, and generally it smells bad. So I'm not,
you know, really wanted to stay there that long.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I've never understood the true magic of.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It, So you gross yourself out too much to stay
in there for too long. Point taken well, most men
feel differently because, according to a new study, men spend
seven hours a year hiding in the bathroom for peace
and quiet.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
According to a new.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Study, men spend seven hours per year hiding in the
bathroom for peace and quiet. I'm pretty sure I spend
seven hours per week in the bathroom, so this study
seems really weird to me. On the other hand, since Trey,
you just said you don't spend that much time in there,
maybe we balance each other out. For all the time
(03:12):
that I'm in there and all the time that you're not.
It lands in the middle at seven hours per year.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
So.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Is that considered extra time people are just in on
their phones or whatever, are just total bathroom time.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The study has found that men spend an average of
seven hours each year hiding in the bathroom, not for hygiene,
but for solitude.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The research, which polled one thousand men, revealed that the
bathroom serves as a sanctuary from daily stressors like nagging partners,
demanding children, and household chores. Commissioned by bathroom specialists Pebble Gray,
the study also found that men often use the toilet
to scroll through their phones in peace. However, even these
retreats are frequently interrupted. On average, one in ten bathroom
(04:00):
visits is disrupted, adding adding up to more than one
hundred and seventy interruptions annually.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Man, they really went deep on this study.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Researchers say the findings highlight the growing need for personal
space and quiet time in today's busy households. So the
big question, do you think you spend more or less
than seven hours a year?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Going number two?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I know I spend way Well, okay, that's that's a
loaded question because I don't spend that much time per
year at with the actual act of going poo poo.
But I'll just be in there now scrolling. I call
it show prep.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Uh. So yesterday, I want you to know, in case
you weren't sure, that anytime you get a text or
an email for me that has to do with show
related content, I'm going poopy, that's.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Good to know.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, so number one, to me, this doesn't even mean
you're going poop, because I do understand this from when
I lived with somebody and they had kids, that sometimes
you would just say you're in the bathroom just to
get away and get some peace and quiet. So I
totally understand giving those circumstances what this article is talking about,
(05:17):
and it didn't you know, it doesn't really mean you're
actually going to the bathroom. Sometimes you just that's your
only place you can get some piece of quiet.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So you would lie about using the bathroom, but you
would go to the bathroom just to hide, not to
actually use the facilities.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So did you ever hide anything underneath the sink, like
a pillow and a blanket, maybe just kind of ved
out and maybe take a nap in there, Because you're right,
that's the one area of the house that typically no
one will bother you, so that that might be a
good napping spot.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You just need to plan ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
No, I don't think you'd get away with that much
time in the bathroom, But when you need a five
to ten minute respite from chaos, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It is a fortress of solitude.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Hear me out A projector and a screen that dropped
down out of the ceiling in your bathroom that you
only have the remote too, so you're.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The only one that's going to know it's there.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You install it, you wire it, you have it set
up for streaming movies, whatever the case is. You can
sit in there and basically have a movie theater style experience.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But in the bathroom, I.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Mean you want to pop up fridge while you're at it.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's a great idea. We can have that too. See
this is a beautiful idea.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I mean a toilet that transforms into a movie seat.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sure, the big ideas is big.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
It's a money maker.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Yeah, we're all about big ideas here inside the tree.

Thank you to Defender Outdoors. This is the Treehouse Show.
I'm Daniel Mallley.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
He's Trade Trendholme. Today is Monday, April seventh, twenty twenty five.
Now that we've both cleaned out our systems, we're ready
for more show. And that involves a little topic we
were discussing last week about the Texas Senate has passed
a bill, so it's not law yet, it's just come
(09:02):
out of the Senate where it will make soda chips, candy,
things like that not able to You won't be able
to purchase those things through your food stamps or through
your snap benefits. They're trying to crack down on junk
food at a state level in the state of Texas,
and it's an interesting topic because it's kind of polarizing
(09:23):
a lot of people say, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Don't want you know, you know, I don't want to be.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Paying for higher medical costs because that junk food leads
to more obesity and health problems.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Another side of that is, well, why are you punishing
poor people? And also the reality is all the processed
junk food costs less. So if you want people on
food stamps and snap benefits to eat healthier, it's more
difficult because healthy food costs more. And I know that
from a personal level. I know Trey knows that because
(09:56):
we both try to eat healthy and by god, a
chicken breast costs a lot more and then fried chicken
from KFC.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, So I think the solution that we put out
there tray and I think this makes sense for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
This to me is not a political issue. If you
want to make that system better, then make it better
for everybody by making healthy food cheaper.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Make the healthy food cheaper so that.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Way, when you are living on a very tight budget,
whether it's food stamps or not food stamps, it makes
it easier to eat healthy because the.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Food costs less.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That's the big thing we should focus on.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Well, you're right, but the problem is number one, and
let's be honest, healthy food doesn't sell as well like because.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It doesn't taste as good.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It's not full of all the chemicals and things that
make us crave more of it.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yeah, that's fortunately, that is the problem. And we live
in a society where they have put all the effort,
the money, research and effort into making food, you know,
be worse for you, but taste better and for mass consumer.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I mean, it's very much an extremely scientific approach that
these mega food companies use to make it to where psychology, psychiatry,
food science, all these things come together from the mega
food company to tell us and convince our bodies, which
is not a difficult convincing that we would rather have
(11:38):
a potato chip than a potato.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So that's where I fall on the whole you know,
let's not let the food stamp recipients by junk food.
Is there's a larger problem, and if you focus on
the tiny one, you still have a massive problem, and
you haven't really fixed a whole lot of anything.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
No, we still have and.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
I mean, if we're being honest, obesity is one of
the greatest drains on our society and it's taught from
unfortunately unhealthy people pass on their unhealthy habits to their children.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oftentimes that is extremely accurate I know that because I
deal with that on a daily basis, because the stuff
that my parents let me eat as a kid, and
I still want it as an adult, even though I
know it's really bad for me.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Oh, I mean especially our age. When we grew up,
we knew so very little about what we know. It's
very little compared to what we know now about nutrition.
I mean, we had the food pyramid. That was really
about it.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Enter in one of our lovely Brownwood radio listeners from
one O three point five the ex in Brownwood, Texas,
he heard the topic and decided to call the front
desk of the radio station to share his thoughts on
the food stamp issue.
Speaker 11 (13:01):
Okay, as it goes to the two step problem, I'm
feel a neat better moucher. For forty years before that,
I was his story of light, and I don't see
any difference with in taking that away from the stamps
than us having to go in and put all over
(13:22):
ending machines out of all the schools in Texas, if
you work in the grocery business, overall see people totally
scanning the system and it's total. And that's just my
thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You're welcome, thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But he didn't leave his name, so I'm not sure,
but thank you, sir, we appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
So he says, it's no different than taking the vending
machines out of the schools. What do you think, Trey, I'd.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Be more than to go right ahead and take the
venting machines out of schools.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
No problem with that whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, I'm same here.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Now, keep in mind, I still that cafeteria burrito at
Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas. That was more like
a chimney chonga. Granted that was not in the vending machine.
It was in one of the things that they cooked.
But I know that wasn't healthy. I know that wasn't
good for me. I'm pretty sure every item in that
little burrito slash chimmy choga was processed a high heaven.
(14:21):
There may not have been actual food in that burrito,
but by God, was it delicious.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I'd shive you for a slice of that square pizza
we got as kids.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I understand.

trade trendholme.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And do for his I'd say by annual visit. It
is our dear friend, actor, comedian, television show host, eyeglass wearer,
Goodassbeard Donner and wherever the hell you got that hat?
That looks good too, mister tone Bell inside the Treehouse.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Hey, Tone, Yeah, you don't like the hat?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
No, I love the hat. It's just I know what.
I love the hat on you. Okay, Yeah I can't.
I can't pull off that hat.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah. You would need a unicycle to make
this hat work.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And I can't make that work either.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I think that would just be all sorts of all
sorts of bad blood and bones everywhere.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But at least that you know.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's yeah, mister Bell. It's been a while since we've
had you inside the tree Yes, how you been, brother, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Man, I've been good, man, been good, just busy, busy.
Life comes at you fast.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Man.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
So just just you know, one day at a time.
If it's not one thing, it's another, and they all
pile up.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
They really do.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So just I think it was trying to think see
last week or I think almost two weeks ago now
I think it was on March twenty seventh, you had
season two of Survival of the Thickest on Netflix drop.
That's the show that, like I said, season two of
the show that you co star in. Yep, and how
(16:38):
far so I had the new season premiere a couple
of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You've been promoting that you're on the road. How do
you find time to just hang out?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Man, I have not had any time. I mean, this
is probably the busiest I've been in a while, you know,
outside of like when I'm filming, and it's because I'm
doing press and I'm doing stand up and then you know,
house maintenance and ship maintenance and family maintenance and I'm
married now and all these things just compiling on. So
I'm going a little crazy, man. But the date for
(17:11):
me to slow down is April twenty second. I can
now wait. I'm finally going. I'm I'll probably get about
three weeks just to kind of just do me and
start some kind of routine. But man, it's been a lot.
I'm going a little stirt crazy right.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Now, I imagine.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Well, at the same time, it's it's a good problem
to have. It's definitely in the life of an actor comedian.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It's better to be busy than not, I would imagine.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Oh for sure, for sure. Yeah, I mean, you know,
just like you know, hitting the road. I've been on
the road heavy since about October. So this so this
is a I mean in between that married homeownership. Just
I mean, everything is just like I mean it is.
It's I I if you know, I can't believe I'm
(17:56):
talking to you all right now. I really should be
doing nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I appreciate you taking off the house you know, like
the house pajamas or like the bathrobe.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
And I'm not wearing pants right now. I promise you.
I'm not wearing pants right now. I'm I got a
T shirt on and and I'm wearing the hat box
and put the hat on, but it was hat of pants.
And I'm going.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You realize the camera's only like from like the chest up.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
So it is.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I'm with you, you know, it's all you need.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Wait, are you are you telling me, Trey that you
and Tone both are not wearing pants and I don't
need to be looking underneath the console?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Uh huh, okay, just.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Noted at least one of us is in here wearing pants.
I just want that set.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I mean, honestly, you should join us.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, it's it's really nice.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah, I mean it's I mean, I'm sitting on supple
leather like it's it.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Here's the important question. How is your neighbors? Is his
name Jerry?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Is it Jerry Man? He's he's doing all right, man,
you know some light you know, Like I said, life
comes at you fast. So we're dealing with some stuff
right now. But yet he's doing pretty good man. Actually
we actually got a pedicure yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Really, So Jerry's your octagenarian neighbor.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Now keep in mind, while the bulk of your work
is out of Hollywood, produced.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You don't live there.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You live, you live in a normal place, and so
you have a quote unquote normal neighbor, which makes.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
You the abnormal neighbor in the scenario.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
But when you got an eighty something, your old white
guy is a neighbor, and next thing you know, you
guys are paling around town. It really is a beautiful site,
so we wanted to make sure we checked in on
your palate.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Oh yeah, man, we went yesterday. You know, he always
picks the package for which pedicure. You know, they say
they give you the menu. I don't know if you
ever got a pedicure if you listen, but when you
when you when you sit down and hand you the menu,
they usually have like four or five options of you know,
the thirty five dollars option to like the one hundred
and five dollars option. And yesterday Jay for the He
never really goes for the middle. We kind of just
go for the for the base package. And yesterday he goes,
(20:05):
I think I want to do the wax today, which
is you know, they put your foot in the bag
of wax and they kind of I don't know if
it's called paraffin or that's it. Yeah, and uh oh yeah,
I was like, oh look, I was like, look at you, Jerry,
You out here stepping it up a notch. So yeah,
we did that, and we stopped by dunking Donuts and
grab grabbing a little something and uh yeah, man, we
had a happy hour last I'm actually still a little tipsy,
(20:26):
like we went tap.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's hard keeping up with eighty year old white guys knocked.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Out about three bottles of wine. Uh yeah, it's always
a good time, man.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So how much of a culture shock is it?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Did when you're trying to enjoy some downtime at the
house with your eighty year old white guy neighbor Jerry,
and then you go to the set of Survival of
the Thickest and it's very different.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yeah, I mean it's you know, I mean when I
when I am here, you know, it's nice because when
I am here, it's it's uh, it's you know, I
got the you know, the honeydew list is real. Okay,
that's what I learned too. It's like, I mean, it's
there's all what can I curse? I don't know if
I can curse, But I mean it's always a fucking
another thing on this fucking list. I mean it is.
I mean, there's another hyphen with another description of some
(21:10):
ship I need to do on this fucking list, Okay.
And I mean I got home. I mean I was
in New York for eight days doing press and I
get home and it's like, oh, you got to pour
the vinegar and the warm water down the ac thing
and places carbon monoxide detector, and clean out the lint
trap for the for the dryer, and fix the camera
(21:30):
on the side, and also cut this tree down in
the back. I go, can I can I get a minute?
All these bills I pay around here? Can I get
a minute?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Did you say that to Did you say all the
bills I pay around here?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I mean, I often say that I got a reminder
who who really is running shit around here?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
To say?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Because you can't say wearing the pants because you're not.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Right now, Well yeah you can't. Yeah that's but I
can only say it with my pants off.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It really drives the point home.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
It's a I mean, but yeah, it's like I mean
between you know, because when I shoot, when I shoot
the show, which is you know, this is my first
season two of my career.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So I was I was wondering.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I didn't know if I should ask that question, if
you would be mad at me if I asked it,
even though no, no, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Dan, you know I've known you since since the actually
both you guys, probably since the beginning. But it's it's, uh,
it's a dude doing doing over one hundred episodes of
TV eighty plus being a lead and then this is
my first season two, so graduations one. Yeah, man, thank you,
and uh, but you know it was different because you know,
the first six or seven shows were in when I
(22:41):
was living full time in LA and now living not
in l A. And I shoot in New York. So
so when when it's time to shoot the show, I'm
doing twelve weeks three months out in out in New York.
So d you know, basically moving for for the summer
or the winter whenever you shoot. Uh, it's very different.
So you come back and your house is still you
know you want to come back, but I mean, you know,
(23:02):
the weeds are overgrown, and I do I'm my own
yard work, So get a gardener. Go, hey, man, I look,
I just got money.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, you know what, you know what it's spend it
all too fast.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
I'm pulling all these weeds myself. Okay, I'm not about
to pay a garden to come out here. I go.
I grew up doing this. I got it. But yeah,
it's it's actually very dope, and I mean just thankful
for it, but man, it is it is always a
task coming back. I gotta have friends. I mean, luckily
I got Jerry Man because Jerry, you know, I see
him on the cameras walking around the house every day
just checking on my stuff. Man, so you know, he
(23:34):
just he takes care of me. I take care of him.
Speaker 11 (23:36):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know, if the Hollywood thing ever takes a nose dive,
you can always start up the second career, as as
in pantiless landscaping.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Oh, I mean that's it's almost like you reading my diary.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
At the same time, Dan, and I can tell you
a cautionary tale of people with money who.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Get obsessed about yard work. I'll tell you it doesn't
end well.
Speaker 2 (23:57):

Welcome, sir. Always a pleasure seeing yes.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Saying thank you for not standing up and letting you

So you got the new season two, the first of
your career. Season two again, congratulations. I don't and I
don't mean that sarcastically. I mean they're genuinely Oh yeah,
I know it's real.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
No, it's real.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Season two of Survival of the Thickest is now on
Netflix for your viewing enjoyment. You've trying to remember when
it was you moved to La. Was it around what
like twenty twelve?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I was summer of twenty eleven. Okay, yeah, summer twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
And yeah, yeah, you've had, you've had already such a
great career. Now, granted I'm still waiting on your Marvel announcement.
I truly feel it's going to happen someday there. I mean, look,
there's only so many actors in Hollywood they've already started
repeating actors. Yeah, for characters in the MCU. I just
(26:02):
feel like it's just a matter of time before you're
something in the MCU. But you've enjoyed such a great
career early success, and you've been able to sustain it.
You mentioned all the shows that you've been on and
on sitcoms and things. You've done a number of movies
as well. You've been lucky in the co star ranks
as well, like a lot of really well known names.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Oh yeah, I mean some of the people that I've
got a chance to work with is amazing, which which
kind of it was kind of crazy. Last week. I'm
I'm I'm in New York. I'm doing press for Thickest.
Is I mean, some people call survival. I call it Thickest.
But so I'm doing the whole Netflix press run. And
halfway through the week, I think last Thursday or Friday,
I I mean, I get a bunch of text messages
(26:46):
just kind of coming from new station, news station, podcasts,
podcast and and there's a movie I did about three
years ago that got shelved by Warner Brothers. And at
this point, this is the biggest movie I've ever been
a part of. I mean, I've been a part of
you know, Golden Globe nominated, Oscar nominated, but this one
is like the budget in the reach of this movie
would be massively global. And then Warner Brothers shelves it,
(27:09):
and and this is I mean, I saw it, I
got to I went to the screening of it. They
decided to put it up and I was like, fuck, okay,
this will never come out. And then last week it
got a distribution deal and it's gonna come out. Looks
like in twenty twenty six. So officially I am, like
I said, shot in twenty twenty two, I believe. And
so while he Kyldie versus actme, the Loonie Tunes movie
(27:33):
is coming out now and which I played one of
the lawyers in that. So it's me and Will Forte
and John Cena, Luis Guzman, Lana Condor. Yeah, Martha Kelly,
it's it's.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I didn't even know you were in that.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
You turned yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, you know, I don't
say I'm in it until it comes out. I mean,
like it's like there's no point in and you know.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I get that, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
If I was in your position, I would probably do
the same thing. But I've followed that story a little bit,
probably for the because we all grew up on the
Looney Tune stuff. So the Wiley Coyote movie, I remember
seeing headlines about it on occasion because John seen a
huge name in it and the fact that they weren't
going to release it, and a bunch of the people
involved in it were like, no, you've got to Yeah, yeah,
(28:19):
that's outstanding news.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Congratulations.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, man, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
I mean that's one of those where you like, of course,
I mean you're talking about one hundred million dollars plus budget,
and I go and you know, they're going to distribute
it everywhere. It's gonna go theaters and all that, and
then it you know, because of my first big theatrical release,
I've had three. One came out and did pretty well.
Still you know, it comes on TVs and USA and
it's on Netflix and stuff now. And then one was
(28:46):
super dramatic Billie Holliday biopic that came out during the pandemic,
so it came out on Hulu instead of in theaters. Then,
so you know, oh man, you know, so you get
those like you get those moments and then like it
just it, you know, and it's such an everybody you know,
the the lighting guys, the grips, the dollaries, the pas
and you know, everybody work hard on it. And but
(29:07):
just you know, selfishly, for a second, I go, man,
of course this won't come out, and then and uh, yeah,
as of last week, man, it's a it's like it's coming.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Congratulations, very excited for you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, man, it's selfishly I'm excited to see because I'm
curious about it because group on that show, it's phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
I'll tell you what. After that comes out, I will
make sure that we will we'll hop back on because
do something so funny is at the end of the
movie that my character does that makes no sense because
they changed the piece of it. Okay, we couldn't reshoot.
You will listen. You will know what I'm talking about, because, uh,
we all watched it. Even my agents and managers were like,
(29:44):
why would you do that? And I go, it was
it was supposed to be different and I didn't know
this was changing until right now, and it's it's it
makes zero sense. But the rest of the movie is
the movie is fucking I mean, you laugh, you'll cry
like it's it's actually really it's a great, great film.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Well again, congratulations on that.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Congratulations on season two of Survival of the Thickst available
on uh on Netflix. Right now, you're touring looking forward
to three weeks of downtime, which is obviously well deserved.
You've you've gone back to it, I think three times
now about about being married and house chores. It's starting
to sound like reality is setting in on on your Hollywood.
(30:28):
I guess, not lifestyle because you never really like that,
but it sounds like she's keeping you pretty grounded.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, she doesn't blame me for
for how we got here, so uh it's it's uh yeah,
I let it tell you. Yeah, she gives me a
lot of smoke, man, but you know she deserves it,
and uh no, it's good man. I guess it's nice
going back to because you know, I mean, to me,
that's where the funny comes from, right, I mean, like,
that's that's the if you know you see to me,
(30:57):
especially you see comics that that you know, they make
so much money. They get you know, they start doing
arenas and they do the twenty thirty thousand people arenas,
and not that they're not funny, but it's a different
level of funny. And I mean my thing has always
been like, if I could have a blue collar since
of humor, then it's it'll be relatable forever, right, So
it's like, why put my surround myself with things that
people can't relate to? And it's just actually just more comfortable.
(31:20):
It's more comfortable. Men. I live out in the country,
so it's it's peaceful. It's slow because I mean, you know,
I'm in New York all the time, in LA all
the time, I'm in an airport all the time. I get
all the social cues and and I mean I got
I'm around people all the time, so I don't I
don't want to see who's coming home at five point
thirty in dealing with somebody else's dogs shitting in my yard.
(31:42):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
As if that's not enough to keep you grounded, I
want to do do a quick little like IMDb Google
search on you make sure there wasn't anything popping up
that I didn't know about already. And what pops up
are all the cast photos from Revival of The Thickest
on Netflix and everyone's photo on the cast is gorgeous.
(32:06):
It's a gorgeous headshot. It looks like it's from the premiere,
and then stuck in the middle is your bewildered face,
looking lost, looking like some sort of silver alert guy
walked into the premiere of this show next.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
To all this beautiful cast. What happened? What happened in
that photo?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I mean, don't get me wrong, you're still handsome, you
just look lost as hell.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Yeah, they they don't let you choose that. I mean,
I think, I think when you pay it because I'm
not gonna do I hate press, period, I don't. I'm not.
I'm not a fan of it. I don't like I
kind of just want to do the work and then
hopefully people find it. That's not who I am. I've
decided to try to do it this time. But that's
last that's from last season, and I don't know, I
don't know why the It's almost like everybody's got a
(32:47):
picture and I got to steal shot from video. Yeah,
that's what it's like.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
It really does look like that, which means to me,
it means it looks like you've pissed off somebody at Google.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Dude, look at look at my profile picture on my
IMDb page. I don't know who chose this. It is awkward,
it's it's wild. I don't know. Like I've been trying
to get this change four years. It's a still show.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
It's oh my god.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Ad I've been contacting I m dB for years, my managers,
my agents, my lawyer. Like, they will not change. I'm like, who, Like,
I mean, I would never blow a dude, but I mean,
but but this might be the case. This might go.
I don't know why they won't change it.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Man, hang on, I'm gonna show this to your Trey.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You're not ready for this. Oh man, you you you
you need to mend some bridges. Tone you have fisted
off some people.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
That looks like you're you're about to take the best
pe of your life.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
I think that's I think I'm I think I'm paying
right there.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Uh that's from that's from your Netflix show Disjointed and
which you uh co starred with Kathy Bates.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Yeah, yeah, who I talked to last week. She texted
me last week out of the blue, and yeah we
just talked for a little bit and yeah we still
keep up. Man, I love me some cat KB.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I never asked you to do me anything Hollywood related.
But if you ever feel so inclined and there's a
lull in conversation with Kathy Bates, just tell her Dan
and Trace a hey. And also, on a very personal note,
because you did that lip sync battle with Kathy Bates
years ago.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Every time Tara and I hear that Bruno Mars song,
we think of you.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
And Kathy Bates.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's great because we obviously hear that song much more
than we hear the Eddie Murphy song that you did.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, man, I'm a team player.
You don't think I set Kathy up to win. She
knows that I know it. I mean, it's crazy. I
have the belt. Like we I was hanging out of Kathy's.
Kathy and I used to get together on Saturdays and
just like sit tequila. Like she's a girl, and so
I go over there on Saturdays and we just talked
for a couple hours and then I was leaving one
(34:58):
day and she's like, hey, bro, come take the man.
Take this like this, I want you to have it.
And I was like, KB, I'm not taking your belt,
and she was like, bro, take the fucking belt, And
so I got the belt hanging up. I guess room here.
So it's uh, I mean when people come stay with us, like,
why do you have Kathy Bates medical? First of all,
it's my belt. It just says her name.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
So is that the Kathy Baits Sweet in your house?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Then?
Speaker 5 (35:21):
Yeah, that's the KB sweet Yeah, yeah, on the on
the on the disjointed wing man.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Right next to the honey list.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
That's one of those things. I don't care how nice
she is.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I wouldn't take anything of hers because that scene in
misery would be coming back to haunt me.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
She's the best. She does. She tell like people ask me,
uh you know, I mean, I don't. I have only
really worked like two people that I probably would say
no to work into working with again. And she is
now on to man like. She's the sweetest. I mean,
and she do she you know, it's like it's really
like hanging out with my neighbor Jerry, which is probably
where I learned. It is like I think she was
(36:02):
seventy two seventy three when we were working together. And
when I tell you, she's like, you gotta treat like
she's twenty five. She's like, I don't want to be
treated like I'm old, and that's why I treat Jerry
like he's we're the same age. He's like, it's you
try to be respectful. But then you go, oh, now,
now I'm babying this this mature person and older people
just want to go, hey man, I'm still here, poor
(36:23):
fucking drink and let's talk some shit. And that's that's
that's the best part. Man.
Speaker 4 (36:29):

shows you can find and enjoy h some of which

little biased, but I also think I can be somewhat
(38:10):
objective film as well, and one of the best I
m dB profile photos you will ever see, as long
as you are not Tone Bell, because that really is horrific.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Man, It's awful. Man. I remember when they changed it.
I had a good one for for years and then
out of nowhere, like four years ago, it switched to
that and we cannot figure it out. Man. But I
mean hopeing next time I visit you guys on the show,
it'll it'll it'll be different. But I've been making Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, no, no, I'm gonna let Jerry do chain So
I'm gonna stand there and uh uh, he's better at
it than me.
Speaker 2 (39:32):

No playing around here, baby, it's all it's.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
All work, okay, work, you guys.
Speaker 5 (39:40):

on his own. He won't. He actually, it's a new chainsaw.
I'll tell you this before I head out. It's a
new chainsaw. It's about six months old. But uh, he
got it and I went into the kitchen and he
was like, hey, have you seen a new chainsaw? And
I picked it up. He goes, man, start it. I go, well,

He's trade. That was tone uh great to visit with him.
(41:59):
As always, once again, you can check out the second
season of Survival of the Thickest on Netflix. I've actually
lost count of how many sitcoms he's been on, but
I'm glad he brought it up that this is his
first season two of his career. He had the Disjointed
series on Netflix. That's when he met Kathy Bates and
(42:20):
guess they became buddies.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
As you heard. There was the first show his first
sitcom that he was on, I believe was Whitney. He
was on like the second time that show got brought
on and he was on as RJ. The Bartender.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
There was a show that he co starred with Nina Dobrev.
It was a sitcom. I can't remember the name of it,
but that one had a great cast as well, and
it didn't work, including not Gary Cooper, Gary Cole, Ricky Bobby's.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Dad and.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
It's okay Darling, I'm a volunteer fireman and also from VA.
That yeah, Talladeg and I thinking he was on that
show anyway, he's He's worked with some great people. It
just goes to show that a lot of times in Hollywood,
sitcoms don't make it, and it's not always the sitcom's fault.
They can be studio, they can be they didn't market
it right, various things. I'm just glad that he's finally
getting a second season.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Yeah of something well, and that that Warner Brothers things
that sounds like, you know, talk about fickle nature of Hollywood.
With that cast, John Cena and all those other people.
They shelved it so good. Yeah, I'm there releasing that now.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
I'm fascinated anytime that Hollywood shelves a movie in today's
you know, in present day, because nowadays studios spend so
much money on movies, for them to shelve one is
almost never other than the Wiley Coyote movie. The only
other one I can think of was Batgirl. And it
(43:56):
sounds like they probably should have shelved the new snow
White movie. Yeah, because it's done so bad at the
box office. I saw I saw this morning. I saw
a headline that the next Disney Princess live action movie
that Disney was going to do, they're putting on ice
because of how poorly snow White performed.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
I've that that is just a debacle. And I've you again.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
It always goes back to for us when back in
our radio days, when you know that big, mega, multi
billion dollar corporations don't always make great decisions, because for us,
it was always when Howard Stern left Terrestrial Radio and
they replaced him with David Lee Roth. This is CBS
(44:49):
by economy, big multi billion dollar company and all the
talent to select from, and they choose that imbecile. So
sometimes the people in charge are just as stupid as
you can imagine.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
Well said, and I had that conversation with Tara just
the other day. The older I get, the more I
realize that the things that I assumed as a child
were wrong. Like when I was a kid, I thought
elected officials were statesmanlike and honorable for the most part,
with some exceptions, and highly intelligent. Same thing with CEOs,
(45:28):
people of authority and positions of power. I wrongly thought
that they were all super intelligent quality individuals, when in
reality they seem to not be by and large. Instead,
instead of the exception being a bad person, now the
(45:48):
exception seems to be a decent person in power or
an intelligent one.
Speaker 11 (45:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (45:54):
Yeah, we used to think that the government was smart.
We know that not to be the case. And people
in entertainment, there was a time that we thought they
were intelligent. We have certainly proved that incorrect.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yeah, and some of that's are on personal fault. Yes,
we're willing to accept some of the We're not above
accountability here.
Speaker 7 (46:18):
Inside of the trio.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
We pulled back the curtain.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
We hang it up the trap door.

Thanks for hanging out with us here inside the Treeouse.
We'll see it tomorrow right here inside the Treos
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Maley along with
Trey Trendholm. Today is April seventh, twenty twenty five. Welcome
to the beginning of a brand new week right here
inside the treehouse. And I want to start this week
off with a very big moving question.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I love how your eyebrows shot up.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Their trey slash spock because you know that whenever I
set something up, it's always going to be loaded, and
this is no exception. So the moving question for you
to start the week is this. How many hours per
week do you think you spend in the bathroom, not
(01:10):
showering and brushing your teeth, but sitting there on your
throne doing your business?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
How many hours per week do you think you spend
on the toilet?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I less than thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Okay, good on you for being so efficient. I have
a theory as to why your time is that small
on a weekly basis inside your bathroom.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Well, for one thing is because I'm a regular and
I don't I don't go every day.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Oh okay, all right, Well I hadn't thought about the
actual medical reason. I was thinking more of your single
and therefore there's no reason for you to hide in
your bathroom.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I've never fully understood, Like, I hate God, God, this
sounds old back in the days when it actually had newspapers.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I you know it might be inclined to more sit
there for a while and read an article, but at
a certain point it's not really that comfortable of a position.
Your leg's hurt, and generally it smells bad. So I'm not,
you know, really wanted to stay there that long.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I've never understood the true magic of.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It, So you gross yourself out too much to stay
in there for too long. Point taken well, most men
feel differently because, according to a new study, men spend
seven hours a year hiding in the bathroom for peace
and quiet.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
According to a new.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Study, men spend seven hours per year hiding in the
bathroom for peace and quiet. I'm pretty sure I spend
seven hours per week in the bathroom, so this study
seems really weird to me. On the other hand, since Trey,
you just said you don't spend that much time in there,
maybe we balance each other out. For all the time
(03:12):
that I'm in there and all the time that you're not.
It lands in the middle at seven hours per year.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
So.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Is that considered extra time people are just in on
their phones or whatever, are just total bathroom time.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The study has found that men spend an average of
seven hours each year hiding in the bathroom, not for hygiene,
but for solitude.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The research, which polled one thousand men, revealed that the
bathroom serves as a sanctuary from daily stressors like nagging partners,
demanding children, and household chores. Commissioned by bathroom specialists Pebble Gray,
the study also found that men often use the toilet
to scroll through their phones in peace. However, even these
retreats are frequently interrupted. On average, one in ten bathroom
(04:00):
visits is disrupted, adding adding up to more than one
hundred and seventy interruptions annually.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Man, they really went deep on this study.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Researchers say the findings highlight the growing need for personal
space and quiet time in today's busy households. So the
big question, do you think you spend more or less
than seven hours a year?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Going number two?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I know I spend way Well, okay, that's that's a
loaded question because I don't spend that much time per
year at with the actual act of going poo poo.
But I'll just be in there now scrolling. I call
it show prep.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Uh. So yesterday, I want you to know, in case
you weren't sure, that anytime you get a text or
an email for me that has to do with show
related content, I'm going poopy, that's.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Good to know.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, so number one, to me, this doesn't even mean
you're going poop, because I do understand this from when
I lived with somebody and they had kids, that sometimes
you would just say you're in the bathroom just to
get away and get some peace and quiet. So I
totally understand giving those circumstances what this article is talking about,
(05:17):
and it didn't you know, it doesn't really mean you're
actually going to the bathroom. Sometimes you just that's your
only place you can get some piece of quiet.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So you would lie about using the bathroom, but you
would go to the bathroom just to hide, not to
actually use the facilities.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So did you ever hide anything underneath the sink, like
a pillow and a blanket, maybe just kind of ved
out and maybe take a nap in there, Because you're right,
that's the one area of the house that typically no
one will bother you, so that that might be a
good napping spot.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You just need to plan ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
No, I don't think you'd get away with that much
time in the bathroom, But when you need a five
to ten minute respite from chaos, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It is a fortress of solitude.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Hear me out A projector and a screen that dropped
down out of the ceiling in your bathroom that you
only have the remote too, so you're.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The only one that's going to know it's there.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You install it, you wire it, you have it set
up for streaming movies, whatever the case is. You can
sit in there and basically have a movie theater style experience.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But in the bathroom, I.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Mean you want to pop up fridge while you're at it.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's a great idea. We can have that too. See
this is a beautiful idea.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I mean a toilet that transforms into a movie seat.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sure, the big ideas is big.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
It's a money maker.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Yeah, we're all about big ideas here inside the tree.

I'm Daniel Mallley.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
He's Trade Trendholme. Today is Monday, April seventh, twenty twenty five.
Now that we've both cleaned out our systems, we're ready
for more show. And that involves a little topic we
were discussing last week about the Texas Senate has passed
a bill, so it's not law yet, it's just come
(09:02):
out of the Senate where it will make soda chips, candy,
things like that not able to You won't be able
to purchase those things through your food stamps or through
your snap benefits. They're trying to crack down on junk
food at a state level in the state of Texas,
and it's an interesting topic because it's kind of polarizing
(09:23):
a lot of people say, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Don't want you know, you know, I don't want to be.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Paying for higher medical costs because that junk food leads
to more obesity and health problems.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Another side of that is, well, why are you punishing
poor people? And also the reality is all the processed
junk food costs less. So if you want people on
food stamps and snap benefits to eat healthier, it's more
difficult because healthy food costs more. And I know that
from a personal level. I know Trey knows that because
(09:56):
we both try to eat healthy and by god, a
chicken breast costs a lot more and then fried chicken
from KFC.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, So I think the solution that we put out
there tray and I think this makes sense for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
This to me is not a political issue. If you
want to make that system better, then make it better
for everybody by making healthy food cheaper.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Make the healthy food cheaper so that.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Way, when you are living on a very tight budget,
whether it's food stamps or not food stamps, it makes
it easier to eat healthy because the.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Food costs less.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That's the big thing we should focus on.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Well, you're right, but the problem is number one, and
let's be honest, healthy food doesn't sell as well like because.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It doesn't taste as good.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It's not full of all the chemicals and things that
make us crave more of it.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yeah, that's fortunately, that is the problem. And we live
in a society where they have put all the effort,
the money, research and effort into making food, you know,
be worse for you, but taste better and for mass consumer.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I mean, it's very much an extremely scientific approach that
these mega food companies use to make it to where psychology, psychiatry,
food science, all these things come together from the mega
food company to tell us and convince our bodies, which
is not a difficult convincing that we would rather have
(11:38):
a potato chip than a potato.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So that's where I fall on the whole you know,
let's not let the food stamp recipients by junk food.
Is there's a larger problem, and if you focus on
the tiny one, you still have a massive problem, and
you haven't really fixed a whole lot of anything.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
No, we still have and.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
I mean, if we're being honest, obesity is one of
the greatest drains on our society and it's taught from
unfortunately unhealthy people pass on their unhealthy habits to their children.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oftentimes that is extremely accurate I know that because I
deal with that on a daily basis, because the stuff
that my parents let me eat as a kid, and
I still want it as an adult, even though I
know it's really bad for me.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Oh, I mean especially our age. When we grew up,
we knew so very little about what we know. It's
very little compared to what we know now about nutrition.
I mean, we had the food pyramid. That was really
about it.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Enter in one of our lovely Brownwood radio listeners from
one O three point five the ex in Brownwood, Texas,
he heard the topic and decided to call the front
desk of the radio station to share his thoughts on
the food stamp issue.
Speaker 11 (13:01):
Okay, as it goes to the two step problem, I'm
feel a neat better moucher. For forty years before that,
I was his story of light, and I don't see
any difference with in taking that away from the stamps
than us having to go in and put all over
(13:22):
ending machines out of all the schools in Texas, if
you work in the grocery business, overall see people totally
scanning the system and it's total. And that's just my
thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You're welcome, thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But he didn't leave his name, so I'm not sure,
but thank you, sir, we appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
So he says, it's no different than taking the vending
machines out of the schools. What do you think, Trey, I'd.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Be more than to go right ahead and take the
venting machines out of schools.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
No problem with that whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, I'm same here.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Now, keep in mind, I still that cafeteria burrito at
Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas. That was more like
a chimney chonga. Granted that was not in the vending machine.
It was in one of the things that they cooked.
But I know that wasn't healthy. I know that wasn't
good for me. I'm pretty sure every item in that
little burrito slash chimmy choga was processed a high heaven.
(14:21):
There may not have been actual food in that burrito,
but by God, was it delicious.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I'd shive you for a slice of that square pizza
we got as kids.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I understand.

trade trendholme.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And do for his I'd say by annual visit. It
is our dear friend, actor, comedian, television show host, eyeglass wearer,
Goodassbeard Donner and wherever the hell you got that hat?
That looks good too, mister tone Bell inside the Treehouse.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Hey, Tone, Yeah, you don't like the hat?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
No, I love the hat. It's just I know what.
I love the hat on you. Okay, Yeah I can't.
I can't pull off that hat.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah. You would need a unicycle to make
this hat work.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And I can't make that work either.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I think that would just be all sorts of all
sorts of bad blood and bones everywhere.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But at least that you know.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's yeah, mister Bell. It's been a while since we've
had you inside the tree Yes, how you been, brother, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Man, I've been good, man, been good, just busy, busy.
Life comes at you fast.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Man.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
So just just you know, one day at a time.
If it's not one thing, it's another, and they all
pile up.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
They really do.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So just I think it was trying to think see
last week or I think almost two weeks ago now
I think it was on March twenty seventh, you had
season two of Survival of the Thickest on Netflix drop.
That's the show that, like I said, season two of
the show that you co star in. Yep, and how
(16:38):
far so I had the new season premiere a couple
of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You've been promoting that you're on the road. How do
you find time to just hang out?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Man, I have not had any time. I mean, this
is probably the busiest I've been in a while, you know,
outside of like when I'm filming, and it's because I'm
doing press and I'm doing stand up and then you know,
house maintenance and ship maintenance and family maintenance and I'm
married now and all these things just compiling on. So
I'm going a little crazy, man. But the date for
(17:11):
me to slow down is April twenty second. I can
now wait. I'm finally going. I'm I'll probably get about
three weeks just to kind of just do me and
start some kind of routine. But man, it's been a lot.
I'm going a little stirt crazy right.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Now, I imagine.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Well, at the same time, it's it's a good problem
to have. It's definitely in the life of an actor comedian.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It's better to be busy than not, I would imagine.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Oh for sure, for sure. Yeah, I mean, you know,
just like you know, hitting the road. I've been on
the road heavy since about October. So this so this
is a I mean in between that married homeownership. Just
I mean, everything is just like I mean it is.
It's I I if you know, I can't believe I'm
(17:56):
talking to you all right now. I really should be
doing nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I appreciate you taking off the house you know, like
the house pajamas or like the bathrobe.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
And I'm not wearing pants right now. I promise you.
I'm not wearing pants right now. I'm I got a
T shirt on and and I'm wearing the hat box
and put the hat on, but it was hat of pants.
And I'm going.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You realize the camera's only like from like the chest up.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
So it is.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I'm with you, you know, it's all you need.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Wait, are you are you telling me, Trey that you
and Tone both are not wearing pants and I don't
need to be looking underneath the console?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Uh huh, okay, just.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Noted at least one of us is in here wearing pants.
I just want that set.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I mean, honestly, you should join us.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, it's it's really nice.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah, I mean it's I mean, I'm sitting on supple
leather like it's it.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Here's the important question. How is your neighbors? Is his
name Jerry?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Is it Jerry Man? He's he's doing all right, man,
you know some light you know, Like I said, life
comes at you fast. So we're dealing with some stuff
right now. But yet he's doing pretty good man. Actually
we actually got a pedicure yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Really, So Jerry's your octagenarian neighbor.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Now keep in mind, while the bulk of your work
is out of Hollywood, produced.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You don't live there.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You live, you live in a normal place, and so
you have a quote unquote normal neighbor, which makes.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
You the abnormal neighbor in the scenario.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
But when you got an eighty something, your old white
guy is a neighbor, and next thing you know, you
guys are paling around town. It really is a beautiful site,
so we wanted to make sure we checked in on
your palate.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Oh yeah, man, we went yesterday. You know, he always
picks the package for which pedicure. You know, they say
they give you the menu. I don't know if you
ever got a pedicure if you listen, but when you
when you when you sit down and hand you the menu,
they usually have like four or five options of you know,
the thirty five dollars option to like the one hundred
and five dollars option. And yesterday Jay for the He
never really goes for the middle. We kind of just
go for the for the base package. And yesterday he goes,
(20:05):
I think I want to do the wax today, which
is you know, they put your foot in the bag
of wax and they kind of I don't know if
it's called paraffin or that's it. Yeah, and uh oh yeah,
I was like, oh look, I was like, look at you, Jerry,
You out here stepping it up a notch. So yeah,
we did that, and we stopped by dunking Donuts and
grab grabbing a little something and uh yeah, man, we
had a happy hour last I'm actually still a little tipsy,
(20:26):
like we went tap.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's hard keeping up with eighty year old white guys knocked.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Out about three bottles of wine. Uh yeah, it's always
a good time, man.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So how much of a culture shock is it?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Did when you're trying to enjoy some downtime at the
house with your eighty year old white guy neighbor Jerry,
and then you go to the set of Survival of
the Thickest and it's very different.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yeah, I mean it's you know, I mean when I
when I am here, you know, it's nice because when
I am here, it's it's uh, it's you know, I
got the you know, the honeydew list is real. Okay,
that's what I learned too. It's like, I mean, it's
there's all what can I curse? I don't know if
I can curse, But I mean it's always a fucking
another thing on this fucking list. I mean it is.
I mean, there's another hyphen with another description of some
(21:10):
ship I need to do on this fucking list, Okay.
And I mean I got home. I mean I was
in New York for eight days doing press and I
get home and it's like, oh, you got to pour
the vinegar and the warm water down the ac thing
and places carbon monoxide detector, and clean out the lint
trap for the for the dryer, and fix the camera
(21:30):
on the side, and also cut this tree down in
the back. I go, can I can I get a minute?
All these bills I pay around here? Can I get
a minute?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Did you say that to Did you say all the
bills I pay around here?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I mean, I often say that I got a reminder
who who really is running shit around here?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
To say?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Because you can't say wearing the pants because you're not.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Right now, Well yeah you can't. Yeah that's but I
can only say it with my pants off.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It really drives the point home.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
It's a I mean, but yeah, it's like I mean
between you know, because when I shoot, when I shoot
the show, which is you know, this is my first
season two of my career.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So I was I was wondering.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I didn't know if I should ask that question, if
you would be mad at me if I asked it,
even though no, no, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Dan, you know I've known you since since the actually
both you guys, probably since the beginning. But it's it's, uh,
it's a dude doing doing over one hundred episodes of
TV eighty plus being a lead and then this is
my first season two, so graduations one. Yeah, man, thank you,
and uh, but you know it was different because you know,
the first six or seven shows were in when I
(22:41):
was living full time in LA and now living not
in l A. And I shoot in New York. So
so when when it's time to shoot the show, I'm
doing twelve weeks three months out in out in New York.
So d you know, basically moving for for the summer
or the winter whenever you shoot. Uh, it's very different.
So you come back and your house is still you
know you want to come back, but I mean, you know,
(23:02):
the weeds are overgrown, and I do I'm my own
yard work, So get a gardener. Go, hey, man, I look,
I just got money.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, you know what, you know what it's spend it
all too fast.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
I'm pulling all these weeds myself. Okay, I'm not about
to pay a garden to come out here. I go.
I grew up doing this. I got it. But yeah,
it's it's actually very dope, and I mean just thankful
for it, but man, it is it is always a
task coming back. I gotta have friends. I mean, luckily
I got Jerry Man because Jerry, you know, I see
him on the cameras walking around the house every day
just checking on my stuff. Man, so you know, he
(23:34):
just he takes care of me. I take care of him.
Speaker 11 (23:36):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know, if the Hollywood thing ever takes a nose dive,
you can always start up the second career, as as
in pantiless landscaping.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Oh, I mean that's it's almost like you reading my diary.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
At the same time, Dan, and I can tell you
a cautionary tale of people with money who.
Speaker 3 (23:51):

end well.

Welcome, sir. Always a pleasure seeing yes.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Saying thank you for not standing up and letting you

So you got the new season two, the first of
your career. Season two again, congratulations. I don't and I
don't mean that sarcastically. I mean they're genuinely Oh yeah,
I know it's real.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
No, it's real.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Season two of Survival of the Thickest is now on
Netflix for your viewing enjoyment. You've trying to remember when
it was you moved to La. Was it around what
like twenty twelve?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I was summer of twenty eleven. Okay, yeah, summer twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
And yeah, yeah, you've had, you've had already such a
great career. Now, granted I'm still waiting on your Marvel announcement.
I truly feel it's going to happen someday there. I mean, look,
there's only so many actors in Hollywood they've already started
repeating actors. Yeah, for characters in the MCU. I just
(26:02):
feel like it's just a matter of time before you're
something in the MCU. But you've enjoyed such a great
career early success, and you've been able to sustain it.
You mentioned all the shows that you've been on and
on sitcoms and things. You've done a number of movies
as well. You've been lucky in the co star ranks
as well, like a lot of really well known names.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Oh yeah, I mean some of the people that I've
got a chance to work with is amazing, which which
kind of it was kind of crazy. Last week. I'm
I'm I'm in New York. I'm doing press for Thickest.
Is I mean, some people call survival. I call it Thickest.
But so I'm doing the whole Netflix press run. And
halfway through the week, I think last Thursday or Friday,
I I mean, I get a bunch of text messages
(26:46):
just kind of coming from new station, news station, podcasts,
podcast and and there's a movie I did about three
years ago that got shelved by Warner Brothers. And at
this point, this is the biggest movie I've ever been
a part of. I mean, I've been a part of
you know, Golden Globe nominated, Oscar nominated, but this one
is like the budget in the reach of this movie
would be massively global. And then Warner Brothers shelves it,
(27:09):
and and this is I mean, I saw it, I
got to I went to the screening of it. They
decided to put it up and I was like, fuck, okay,
this will never come out. And then last week it
got a distribution deal and it's gonna come out. Looks
like in twenty twenty six. So officially I am, like
I said, shot in twenty twenty two, I believe. And
so while he Kyldie versus actme, the Loonie Tunes movie
(27:33):
is coming out now and which I played one of
the lawyers in that. So it's me and Will Forte
and John Cena, Luis Guzman, Lana Condor. Yeah, Martha Kelly,
it's it's.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I didn't even know you were in that.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
You turned yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, you know, I don't
say I'm in it until it comes out. I mean,
like it's like there's no point in and you know.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I get that, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
If I was in your position, I would probably do
the same thing. But I've followed that story a little bit,
probably for the because we all grew up on the
Looney Tune stuff. So the Wiley Coyote movie, I remember
seeing headlines about it on occasion because John seen a
huge name in it and the fact that they weren't
going to release it, and a bunch of the people
involved in it were like, no, you've got to Yeah, yeah,
(28:19):
that's outstanding news.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Congratulations.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, man, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
I mean that's one of those where you like, of course,
I mean you're talking about one hundred million dollars plus budget,
and I go and you know, they're going to distribute
it everywhere. It's gonna go theaters and all that, and
then it you know, because of my first big theatrical release,
I've had three. One came out and did pretty well.
Still you know, it comes on TVs and USA and
it's on Netflix and stuff now. And then one was
(28:46):
super dramatic Billie Holliday biopic that came out during the pandemic,
so it came out on Hulu instead of in theaters. Then,
so you know, oh man, you know, so you get
those like you get those moments and then like it
just it, you know, and it's such an everybody you know,
the the lighting guys, the grips, the dollaries, the pas
and you know, everybody work hard on it. And but
(29:07):
just you know, selfishly, for a second, I go, man,
of course this won't come out, and then and uh, yeah,
as of last week, man, it's a it's like it's coming.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Congratulations, very excited for you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, man, it's selfishly I'm excited to see because I'm
curious about it because group on that show, it's phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
I'll tell you what. After that comes out, I will
make sure that we will we'll hop back on because
do something so funny is at the end of the
movie that my character does that makes no sense because
they changed the piece of it. Okay, we couldn't reshoot.
You will listen. You will know what I'm talking about, because, uh,
we all watched it. Even my agents and managers were like,
(29:44):
why would you do that? And I go, it was
it was supposed to be different and I didn't know
this was changing until right now, and it's it's it
makes zero sense. But the rest of the movie is
the movie is fucking I mean, you laugh, you'll cry
like it's it's actually really it's a great, great film.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Well again, congratulations on that.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Congratulations on season two of Survival of the Thickst available
on uh on Netflix. Right now, you're touring looking forward
to three weeks of downtime, which is obviously well deserved.
You've you've gone back to it, I think three times
now about about being married and house chores. It's starting
to sound like reality is setting in on on your Hollywood.
(30:28):
I guess, not lifestyle because you never really like that,
but it sounds like she's keeping you pretty grounded.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, she doesn't blame me for
for how we got here, so uh it's it's uh yeah,
I let it tell you. Yeah, she gives me a
lot of smoke, man, but you know she deserves it,
and uh no, it's good man. I guess it's nice
going back to because you know, I mean, to me,
that's where the funny comes from, right, I mean, like,
that's that's the if you know you see to me,
(30:57):
especially you see comics that that you know, they make
so much money. They get you know, they start doing
arenas and they do the twenty thirty thousand people arenas,
and not that they're not funny, but it's a different
level of funny. And I mean my thing has always
been like, if I could have a blue collar since
of humor, then it's it'll be relatable forever, right, So
it's like, why put my surround myself with things that
people can't relate to? And it's just actually just more comfortable.
(31:20):
It's more comfortable. Men. I live out in the country,
so it's it's peaceful. It's slow because I mean, you know,
I'm in New York all the time, in LA all
the time, I'm in an airport all the time. I get
all the social cues and and I mean I got
I'm around people all the time, so I don't I
don't want to see who's coming home at five point
thirty in dealing with somebody else's dogs shitting in my yard.
(31:42):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
As if that's not enough to keep you grounded, I
want to do do a quick little like IMDb Google
search on you make sure there wasn't anything popping up
that I didn't know about already. And what pops up
are all the cast photos from Revival of The Thickest
on Netflix and everyone's photo on the cast is gorgeous.
(32:06):
It's a gorgeous headshot. It looks like it's from the premiere,
and then stuck in the middle is your bewildered face,
looking lost, looking like some sort of silver alert guy
walked into the premiere of this show next.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
To all this beautiful cast. What happened? What happened in
that photo?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I mean, don't get me wrong, you're still handsome, you
just look lost as hell.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Yeah, they they don't let you choose that. I mean,
I think, I think when you pay it because I'm
not gonna do I hate press, period, I don't. I'm not.
I'm not a fan of it. I don't like I
kind of just want to do the work and then
hopefully people find it. That's not who I am. I've
decided to try to do it this time. But that's
last that's from last season, and I don't know, I
don't know why the It's almost like everybody's got a
(32:47):
picture and I got to steal shot from video. Yeah,
that's what it's like.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
It really does look like that, which means to me,
it means it looks like you've pissed off somebody at Google.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Dude, look at look at my profile picture on my
IMDb page. I don't know who chose this. It is awkward,
it's it's wild. I don't know. Like I've been trying
to get this change four years. It's a still show.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
It's oh my god.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Ad I've been contacting I m dB for years, my managers,
my agents, my lawyer. Like, they will not change. I'm like, who, Like,
I mean, I would never blow a dude, but I mean,
but but this might be the case. This might go.
I don't know why they won't change it.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Man, hang on, I'm gonna show this to your Trey.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You're not ready for this. Oh man, you you you
you need to mend some bridges. Tone you have fisted
off some people.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
That looks like you're you're about to take the best
pe of your life.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
I think that's I think I'm I think I'm paying
right there.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Uh that's from that's from your Netflix show Disjointed and
which you uh co starred with Kathy Bates.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Yeah, yeah, who I talked to last week. She texted
me last week out of the blue, and yeah we
just talked for a little bit and yeah we still
keep up. Man, I love me some cat KB.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I never asked you to do me anything Hollywood related.
But if you ever feel so inclined and there's a
lull in conversation with Kathy Bates, just tell her Dan
and Trace a hey. And also, on a very personal note,
because you did that lip sync battle with Kathy Bates
years ago.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Every time Tara and I hear that Bruno Mars song,
we think of you.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
And Kathy Bates.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's great because we obviously hear that song much more
than we hear the Eddie Murphy song that you did.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, man, I'm a team player.
You don't think I set Kathy up to win. She
knows that I know it. I mean, it's crazy. I
have the belt. Like we I was hanging out of Kathy's.
Kathy and I used to get together on Saturdays and
just like sit tequila. Like she's a girl, and so
I go over there on Saturdays and we just talked
for a couple hours and then I was leaving one
(34:58):
day and she's like, hey, bro, come take the man.
Take this like this, I want you to have it.
And I was like, KB, I'm not taking your belt,
and she was like, bro, take the fucking belt, And
so I got the belt hanging up. I guess room here.
So it's uh, I mean when people come stay with us, like,
why do you have Kathy Bates medical? First of all,
it's my belt. It just says her name.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
So is that the Kathy Baits Sweet in your house?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Then?
Speaker 5 (35:21):
Yeah, that's the KB sweet Yeah, yeah, on the on
the on the disjointed wing man.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Right next to the honey list.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
That's one of those things. I don't care how nice
she is.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I wouldn't take anything of hers because that scene in
misery would be coming back to haunt me.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
She's the best. She does. She tell like people ask me,
uh you know, I mean, I don't. I have only
really worked like two people that I probably would say
no to work into working with again. And she is
now on to man like. She's the sweetest. I mean,
and she do she you know, it's like it's really
like hanging out with my neighbor Jerry, which is probably
where I learned. It is like I think she was
(36:02):
seventy two seventy three when we were working together. And
when I tell you, she's like, you gotta treat like
she's twenty five. She's like, I don't want to be
treated like I'm old, and that's why I treat Jerry
like he's we're the same age. He's like, it's you
try to be respectful. But then you go, oh, now,
now I'm babying this this mature person and older people
just want to go, hey man, I'm still here, poor
(36:23):
fucking drink and let's talk some shit. And that's that's
that's the best part. Man.
Speaker 4 (36:29):

little biased, but I also think I can be somewhat
(38:10):
objective film as well, and one of the best I
m dB profile photos you will ever see, as long
as you are not Tone Bell, because that really is horrific.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Man, It's awful. Man. I remember when they changed it.
I had a good one for for years and then
out of nowhere, like four years ago, it switched to
that and we cannot figure it out. Man. But I

No playing around here, baby, it's all it's.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
All work, okay, work, you guys.

on his own. He won't. He actually, it's a new chainsaw.
I'll tell you this before I head out. It's a
new chainsaw. It's about six months old. But uh, he
got it and I went into the kitchen and he
was like, hey, have you seen a new chainsaw? And
I picked it up. He goes, man, start it. I go, well,

He's trade. That was tone uh great to visit with him.
(41:59):
As always, once again, you can check out the second
season of Survival of the Thickest on Netflix. I've actually
lost count of how many sitcoms he's been on, but
I'm glad he brought it up that this is his
first season two of his career. He had the Disjointed
series on Netflix. That's when he met Kathy Bates and
(42:20):
guess they became buddies.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
As you heard. There was the first show his first
sitcom that he was on, I believe was Whitney. He
was on like the second time that show got brought
on and he was on as RJ. The Bartender.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
There was a show that he co starred with Nina Dobrev.
It was a sitcom. I can't remember the name of it,
but that one had a great cast as well, and
it didn't work, including not Gary Cooper, Gary Cole, Ricky Bobby's.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Dad and.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
It's okay Darling, I'm a volunteer fireman and also from VA.
That yeah, Talladeg and I thinking he was on that
show anyway, he's He's worked with some great people. It
just goes to show that a lot of times in Hollywood,
sitcoms don't make it, and it's not always the sitcom's fault.
They can be studio, they can be they didn't market
it right, various things. I'm just glad that he's finally
getting a second season.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Yeah of something well, and that that Warner Brothers things
that sounds like, you know, talk about fickle nature of Hollywood.
With that cast, John Cena and all those other people.
They shelved it so good. Yeah, I'm there releasing that now.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
I'm fascinated anytime that Hollywood shelves a movie in today's
you know, in present day, because nowadays studios spend so
much money on movies, for them to shelve one is
almost never other than the Wiley Coyote movie. The only
other one I can think of was Batgirl. And it
(43:56):
sounds like they probably should have shelved the new snow
White movie. Yeah, because it's done so bad at the
box office. I saw I saw this morning. I saw
a headline that the next Disney Princess live action movie
that Disney was going to do, they're putting on ice
because of how poorly snow White performed.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
I've that that is just a debacle. And I've you again.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
It always goes back to for us when back in
our radio days, when you know that big, mega, multi
billion dollar corporations don't always make great decisions, because for us,
it was always when Howard Stern left Terrestrial Radio and
they replaced him with David Lee Roth. This is CBS
(44:49):
by economy, big multi billion dollar company and all the
talent to select from, and they choose that imbecile. So
sometimes the people in charge are just as stupid as
you can imagine.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
Well said, and I had that conversation with Tara just
the other day. The older I get, the more I
realize that the things that I assumed as a child
were wrong. Like when I was a kid, I thought
elected officials were statesmanlike and honorable for the most part,
with some exceptions, and highly intelligent. Same thing with CEOs,
(45:28):
people of authority and positions of power. I wrongly thought
that they were all super intelligent quality individuals, when in
reality they seem to not be by and large. Instead,
instead of the exception being a bad person, now the
(45:48):
exception seems to be a decent person in power or
an intelligent one.
Speaker 11 (45:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (45:54):
Yeah, we used to think that the government was smart.
We know that not to be the case. And people
in entertainment, there was a time that we thought they
were intelligent. We have certainly proved that incorrect.
