Speaker 1 (00:23):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Mackley along with
Trey Trindholm on April tenth, twenty twenty five. Today is Thursday,
almost to Friday, and since it's almost Friday, just about
everybody's favorite day of the week, we decided to celebrate
by bringing on our friend and special guests that also
(00:46):
happens to be most people's favorite. That is Rebecca black Ormerly.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yo, that's not true at all. People do not like me.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh, I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You invited me back.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
No, no, no, I listened to Miles in the morning.
You were the you were the good one.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Where is Miles now, by the way, formerly of k
Love's Mornings.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
They live in Georgia. Now they moved back to Georgia Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, the FW radio hits people hard. Usually when they
come to town, they last for a little bit and then
they get smacked right back to where they came from,
like Georgia.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah. Like I thought they would stay in Dallas, and
then he ended up getting a radio job in Florida
and then you know, right now, everybody left and right
and get cut in Florida, so they moved back to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, uh, we're glad to have you back inside the treehouse.
I'm hoping that your internet works better than mine does,
although since you were just a little digitized there, we
might have a little AI Rebecca going on. But that's okay,
we'll take that.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Sorry. I'm even plugged in with like a hard cable,
like old school.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's the best, right. That's how Internet nerd I've had
to become in recent years is as I'm constantly looking
for a plug. Yeah, because I don't trust the wife,
all right. So very excited to have you on for
two reasons. One because it's you and two because I
(02:23):
saw this a couple of days ago and I kind
of got excited. But I don't know if Trey as
excited as I am about this. And so before we
got you in studio today, I asked you, Rebecca, are
you at all a Goonies fan? And Trey this was
her response.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Hey, you come.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
This is this is one of the most frightening things
I've ever seen in my life. And I've seen some stuff,
but You're welcome, thank you. So all I did was
asked Rebecca do you happen to be a fan of Goonies?
And she sent back some horrific amalgamation of her face
(03:10):
and the face of Sloth from Goonies combined and sent
me the video of her saying, Hey you guys, and
I had to say, I love it.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Very impressive. You a filter.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I would love to say that I created that especially
for you guys, but no, it's just a Snapchat filter.
And I have been rogue sending different versions of this
to all of my friends.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You have a lucky group of friends.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I do right. The first time, I might have been
a little tipsy, Mike.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Do you still have a group of friends or have
they all blocked you?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I'm done. I've got no one like I'm going
to leave you. I'm like, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's also interesting to know how how you'll look if
for some reason, you woke up with whatever syndrome Sloth had.
Now you'll know what to expect.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I am not a pretty bald.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I don't think not having hair is the problem in
that video. Really yeah, I think that's the least of
your worries. I think the nose and the teeth are
gonna be your downfall.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Maybe a little bit, maybe a little bit. But the
bald isn't helping either.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, that just just adds to it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But that's the beauty of sloth though. He's hideous on
the outside and sweet and tender and wonderful.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
On the inside, that is true, and a fierce protector
of his Goonies. Yes, he also had kind of a
point on the top of his head that had like
a little like makings of a wispy top knot.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It was a little it was like a little ginger
care at top.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, it was really really unfortunate. So the thing I
was excited about with the Goonies, and the reason I
asked you if you were at all a Goonies fan,
is because of something else that I saw this week
besides you sending me you looking like sloth, miss If
I can pull this up real quick, uh, the other
(05:08):
day on the Today Show, the Goonies had a bit
of a cast Tree union, and on the Today Show
they asked them about the newer news of a Goonies sequel,
and so they had Sean Aston, Corey Feldman, Martha Plimpton,
(05:30):
Carrie Green, Joe Pantaliano and I believe his name who
played the other brother. The other for Telly brother is
Robert Dove. I think so they had them all on
the Today Show and ask them about the possibility of
a Goonie sequel.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
And we're doing it or not another story.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
But I can tell you for sure Spielberg start this
over doing it. Whether we're doing it or not as
another story, but I can tell you for sure Spielberg
and Chris Columbus have a recipe and they're planning on something.
We wish them well and if they come to us,
we'll consider it.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
At that time, after it came out, Steven Spielberg sent
me a poster saying, I'm still a goony, how about you.
He's wanted to make the sequel, and he's the sole
reason it hasn't been made now because it hasn't been right.
The fact that he is endorsing this next thing is
why we know what's going to happen, and it's why
it has every chance to be spectacular.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So there you have it. I think, based on the
edit in there, I think the cast is excited about
the possibility, although Corey Feldman seems to be playing some
serious hardball with contract negotiations.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Which I'm like, Corey, your music career is not taking
off like I think you think it is, so this
might be a good idea to go ahead and jump
on board and get that little cash grab.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Yeah, he's holding out for an extra case of diet coke.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I did about this, Like, on the one hand, please
don't ruin the original Goonies, But if everybody is on board,
including the cast, Christopher Columbus and Steven Spielberg, like I'm
in one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
True.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I mean, Sean is looking more and more like a hobbit.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He is, and I I wonder if Kerrie Green and
Martha Plimpton feel attacked. It all from the fact that
Sean Aston has had a massive career since Goonies. He
had a career for Goonies, and he has not failed
to find work since. He also doesn't look like he's
failed to find a sandwich in the years since Goonies,
(07:40):
And it's almost like he's showing off how much money
he's made in Hollywood. He can eat whatever he wants,
including possibly sloth, and can still find work He's made.
He's been that successful, and poor Kerry Green is looking
at him like you've bastard I.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Know, I'm shocked that Carrie Green didn't have more after
the Goonies, Like she fit the mold. She fit that
eighties mold, So why did she not go on and
become more successful? And then I thought Martha Plimpton was
going to have like a resurgence in her forties. Oh god,
what was that show? Was by the creators of My
Name Is Earl?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It was the sitcom right, yes, and she was great
in it, and I thought for sure, like, Okay, here
we go. She's having a comeback, but not as much.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And Joe and Joe Pantleono's had a good career's al
He's been on sopranos, he's been at the Bad Boys
movies basically. And I haven't even mentioned Josh Brolin, right,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
He's not hur Thanos.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I mean even a y I can't say. I can't either,
Thank you, Trey. I was just going to be forced
to say data he's had a huge resurgence in the
last couple of years. So I'm with you, Rebecca. I'm
excited about a Goodies sequel.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well you, Trey, Hey, we'll get Travian, the old skeptical one.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well, let's let's let.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
This suck.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Well, let's be let's be honest. Hollywood's track record for
remakes and sequels is not good.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Hold that thought, Trey, Hold that thought, okay, because I
want That's the part I want to dig into in
the next portion. Here inside the Treehouse.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration into
the Treehouse eight three to three. Cook DFW is the
number to use for your free roof inspection the website
cookdfw dot com. Daniel, I saw recently that piece of
ice crashed through the roof of a Florida home and
the FA they came and somehow inspected it, I guess
(10:02):
before it melted and said this did not come from
a plane. So at the end of the day they
don't know what it was. But there's a big hole
in their roof. Obviously they need to call somebody. But
not all problems are that obvious, are they?
Speaker 7 (10:18):
No?
Speaker 10 (10:19):
Unfortunately, I mean a lot of times people call us
because they have a leak that they found out and
they have no clue where it's coming from. So unless
you have a hole in your roof, which hopefully you
don't because that's really bad. And so a lot of
times it's minor leaks that develop over time and then
(10:39):
they become bigger issues because you got to think about
this and all people don't. By the time a leak
gets inside your house, it's probably been leaking for months,
if not years, and it's just taken that long to
ride out the wood, to write out the insulation, to
write out the sheet rock, all those items between the
water outside and inside your house.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
It takes a while to get through.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
So if you're noticing inside your house, it's been there
for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And that right there is why getting your roof inspected
on a regular basis is so important. That way, Daniel
and his team from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration can catch
those problems when they're small before they turn into massive
money sucking problems. So give them in a call for
your free roof inspection today eight three to three Cook
DFW or the website cookdfw dot com.

(12:06):
This is the Treehouse Show. I'm Daniel Malling along with
Trey Turnholme and today's very special returning guest Rebecca Black,
one of our dear friends from DFW Radio Fame currently
of marketing director Semi Fame. Yeah, the uh not to
pick on you too much, Rebecca, And I mean the
pun there for the pick But are you okay? Are
(12:29):
you having about of North Texas allergies?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Totally one. Honestly, I feel like anytime I have to
crack open the mic, this happens during my podcast A
lot snot just starts flowing. I don't know if it's
like an adrenaline reaction or what, but.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yes, that's an interesting Trey with that constitute a Pvlavian
response like a microphone turns on and Rebecca's nose starts running.
I mean, it's an odd one, but it is.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
And I don't know how exactly she trained for that.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
But I know now most morning radio personalities trained for it.
But I don't know if Rebecca was big on the
two time for weather.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
No, that was not my scene.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
The only backup in this morning's traffic are these lines.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No, definitely not my scene. I can't even imagine myself
on that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I can't either.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Like I assume, did you guys ever see the movie
Requiem for a Dream. I assume I would be like
the old lady, just vacuuming the walls.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It's a lot better than being part of the ending. Literally, true,
very true.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Love to talk about that scene though.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Okay, Trey, have you seen Requiem for a Dream?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's kind of a metaphor for radio jobs.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Okay, this is when people have not seen this movie.
This is my favorite thing in the world, and it's like,
go and watch it. One time I had a friend
that was like, I don't get it. I don't get
this movie. I don't good A way so good, and
we're all like, wait till the end, till the end,
and then come back and talk to us, So, Trey,
that's your homework. Please go watch way till the end,
and then I fully expect a text from you, yeah,
(14:16):
on your.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Thoughts and if you would tray do us do us
all a favor when you're watching the last say ten minutes,
just bust out your phone, do the mirror record a
video of just your reaction to it watching Please, I
would love to see your reaction to the ending of
(14:37):
Requiem for a Dream. It does start, Jennifer Connley, So yeah,
all right, So back to the important news at hand
about the possibility of a goony sequel, Trey, you brought
up a very very integral point. Do we trust Hollywood
to make a proper sequel based on something so high
(15:00):
nostalgic as the Goonies?
Speaker 8 (15:02):
Well, here in lies another problem is will expectations be
so high because that is a cult classic of our childhood,
that we're going to be disappointed. We're almost setting ourselves
up for disappointment.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And there are plenty of examples of us being disappointed
by Hollywood playing around with what it calls IP, but
what we call our fond childhood memories. They've bastardized. G I, Joe,
I don't know they're in the midst of doing it
with he Man. I don't know if that's going to
(15:39):
be any good or not. Chances are no, chances are
it won't be, but I'm always hopeful because I'm kind
of an optimist. Other examples of note that where they've
taken Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters is a great one. Ghostbusters is near
and dear to our hearts here inside the Treehouse, and
they have ft that up. But they didn't just f
(16:01):
it up once. They've ffed it up with like three
new movies, and none of them are really well.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
The Female remake was trash. I mean, that's just it
was a bad script, bat everything. The Paul rud Ones,
I'm not as down on as you are.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I liked the first Paul one.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
But let's okay with it at best.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Let's let's go away from what the fact is about.
The only thing they've really done right is Top Gun.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I will agree with you. Top Gun. The sequel was perfection.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, And that's the only reason why I wanted to
talk about this, not so much about the Goonies sequel,
but about whether or not we trust Hollywood, Because Top
Gun Maverick is the only example I can think of
where they took a really old favorite film from the eighties, nineties,
whatever era and either redid it or added on to
(16:55):
it to any satisfaction. Is there another example besides Top Gun,
Maverick or a Hollywood actually did good by the reboot?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, I'm trying to Beetlejuice was No. Beetlejuice was garbage.
I got duped by that. I'm very mad about it.
I'm still mad about it. They had a good portion
of the storyline, but then when they added like the
singing and the dancing and the soul train to it,
I was like, No, that's not true to Beetlejuice.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It was weird because it actually, and this is going
to sound really odd to say, but Michael Keaton in
Beetlejuice too seemed like a watered down version of the
original Beetlejuice.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yes, very much so. I agree, Like he didn't curse
as much, he didn't do as many gross things, and
weirdly kind of helped out and became a hero. And
I'm like, I don't know that that's a Beetlejuice characteristic.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I don't I don't necessarily think that Beetlejuice needs the
Darth Vader arc.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Redemption.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Just let him be bad.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I will say. My only hope though for a follow
up to The Goonies is that all of the original
people are still on board.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, right, those who can, because some of course have passed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
And Spielberg I think understands the idea of sticking true
to the characters that were originally created. Tim Burton a
little different because Tim Burton is on a life journey
that is drastically different than Spielberg's.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
So yeah, the and then Christopher Columbus, who was I
think the writer and director or is it Richard Donner?
Tray that was a Donner film, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I amdb it. It's in that group of people that
they've done lots of things that we know are good,
but we know Hollywood people, they don't bat a thousand.
So anyway, it just it again kind of boils down
to do we actually trust Hollywood with our childhood memories?
And I don't think we can.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Well, I mean, I think a shining example.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
Maybe I'm wrong, but like I think the Naked Gun
remake is going to be trash.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I'm so afraid of that one.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Hold on. I do have a theory. So I my
theory is that if I enjoyed the trailer, I'm going
to hate the movie. If I hate the trailer, I'm
gonna love the movie. Interesting, So I hated the trailer
for The Naked Gun. Hated it, So I'm hoping that
I'm gonna love the movie.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
I have a feeling they put the only funny part,
which is the OJ the thing, but they're all talking
to their dads. I think that's going to be the
only funny part of the movie. I just I don't.
People do not give Leslie Nielson enough respect for he
was a comic, like he was a he was a
serious actor. Then he started doing the comedy stuff. But
(19:48):
he was so dry and and and his lines were
just so perfect, and you just I don't think you
can recreate that, especially not Liam Neeson.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I mean, I understand where you're coming from.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I don't. It's not that I don't think Liam Usa
can't do it, because I thought he was great as
the Lego police officer in the Lego movie.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Mm hmm. I thought he was also. I'm sorry he
was also great as he was also great as the
bad guy in A Million Ways to Die in the West,
which is was Seth MacFarland and Seth Macfarland's doing the
naked gun deal.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, so I think if he sticks to those type
of characters, he might nail it. No, Trey don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I can't wait for Halloween. I can't wait to see
your trade costume.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Does that mean I'm nailing the impression?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Oh, You've got it, absolutely nailed. The only thing you're
missing is the little drawing of the Tyrannosaurus wrecks over
your shoulder, and it could be Trey, just with long hair.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I need some glasses too. I feel like that'll set
it off. Oh yeah, I'm sorry, Trey.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I love you in a big glass of you.

Today is Thursday, April tenth, twenty twenty five. We'll jump
(22:37):
back into a little bit of Hollywood sequel news later on,
but we need to dig into some serious news inside
the Treehouse today. And it's not just serious news on
a global level, but even even at a Texas slash
North Texas level. Are did you guys know that dire
(22:57):
wolves were real and not just fabrication of the Game
of Throne show? No, No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I didn't either, And Trey's like I did, Philip Centrey.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
He does know that that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
It was, well, no, I know, and this is this
is a big scam.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Go ahead, okay, all right, here we go.
Speaker 12 (23:28):
We turned out of that remarkable scientific breakthrough. Thirteen thousand
years after the last dire wolf walked the earth, scientists
say they've now brought them back.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Here's our chief national course by all right. I know
this story is about dire wolves, and we're gonna get
to that, but can we first just talk about ABC
News David meir Is, is there a person on the
planet that knows their good side more than he does
because he does not move his head. He's like, the
right side of my face is the good side, and
(23:57):
I'm not effing moving. You will not see the left
side because of that. I wonder if he has some
sort of palsy or if he's had a stroke, Like
it doesn't look as bad at an angle, but if
he was to turn like as his face would turn
towards his bad side, it might actually start melting.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, it might. He probably works out specifically so that
his face will stay in the same position, work out
this side a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You're right, he probably does like face lunges.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh yeah, totally or Guasha, Yes, he does.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
He does that.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Spoken like you guys even know what that is.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Mm hm.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Even Trey doesn't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Okay, for your one percent female audience, they will.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
It's like thirty to forty. Yeah, then.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
All right, I like that. Good for you guys.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But what is it?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'll talk skip on past. It's like
this little weird shaped like I don't want to call
it a crystal or a rock, but like you do
these things to get rid of wrinkles on your face
and to like lymphatic massage, get all the fat out.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Basically, so rub crystals on your nodes.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah kind of yeah, got it.
Speaker 12 (25:21):
Well, let's go back to de extincting animals we turned
out of that remarkable scientific breakthrough. Thirteen thousand years after
the last dire wolf walked the earth, scientists say they've
now brought them back. Oh good, here's our chief national
course by the back up and with the video tonight
possibly go wrong?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Tonight a how thirteen thousand years in the making. In
a first for science, biotech company Colossal Biosciences says it
brought the extinct dire wolf back to life, a species
that hasn't walked the earth since the Stone Age.
Speaker 13 (25:54):
The direwolf is the first extinct species.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well known from HBO's hit show Game of Thrones.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
ABC New's given exclusive access into Colossal's lab in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Or scientists are using genes from gray wolves to create
dire wolves.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
We've taken a gray wolf genome, a gray wolf cell,
which is already genetically ninety nine point five percent identical
to dire wolves, and we've edited those cells at multiple
places in its DNA sequence to contain the dire wolf
version of the DNA. That animal looks like a dire wolf,
It will behave like a dire wolf, and it is
(26:34):
a dire wolf.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Now, all right? If she is that adamant about it.
To me, it just sounds like and correct me if
I'm wrong. Science Officer Trenholm. They made a gray wolf
white and are calling it a dire wolf.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Agreed.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
That's everything I've read said. Yeah, yeah, yes, it's impressive.
But they have not really brought back a you know,
extinct species. They have just modified a gray wolf.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
You know, there's a zoo in China that's been doing
this for years. They'll just like they'll just take a
dog and spray painted black and white and call it
a panda and it and it cost way less money.
I mean, you're talking about a trip to home depot
for some paint and a Wagner versus millions of dollars
(27:26):
in research dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But it is cute.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Oh they are adorable.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I mean, but it's cute.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
They are cute as puppies, there's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I'm sure t rexes were adorable as babies.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, no, they weren't. In Jurassic Park. When that when
the little little raptor pops out of the egg or
little tea recor, it's like a you know, it's almost
like a It's just like a raspy kitten.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
What what? What? What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I was about to say that means this is not
going to end well, Like somebody is gonna get their
face eaten off by the wolf and then we're all
going to be running from it soon.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I mean, look, and since this lab is based in Dallas,
I couldn't help but think doesn't Dallas have enough problems?
I mean, sitting in traffic on six point thirty five
is bad enough. I shouldn't have to worry about a
thirteen thousand year old dire wolf running through traffic eating people.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, I mean, maybe.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's gonna solve our rampant like the nasty pig problem
that we have.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
The Farrell Hogs, Yeah, the Faral hogs.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Think you couldn't ruer what they were called.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Maybe can they get genetically engineer a quarterback for the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Oh, now we're talking at the dire situation.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You're in the treehouse.

Speaker 4 (28:49):

He's Trey. She is Rebecca Black, our friend from DFW
(29:32):
Radio days. I like to think that somewhere Dak Prescott
is doing something enjoyable. And then he felt a shiver
down his spine at your comment, Trey, good on you.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I nearly went Gary huggaboom.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Holy wow, Rebecca, isn't your husband a football coach?
Speaker 9 (29:55):
He is?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, McKinney North, Yeah, do you.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Know anything about quarterbacks? Is he on Jerry Jones's call
list for next head coach type job? Because we're pretty
desperate at this point, and I'm sure he's good.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I don't think he would want it.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Wow, an offensive line a high school offensive line coach
and look at the Cowboys job and go, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Well, I'm gonna be honest. I think he's got a
better record than the Cowboys do, so it would be
like a step down.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Like, let's be real, they suck, man. They haven't been
good since the nineties, since we won Super Bowl with
Troy Yigman. Jerry Jones trying to save this team.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Because if we can save the team somehow, we were
saving ourselves.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
No, like we already killed the Mavericks. Now we've killed
the Cowboys. Like there's nothing left for us. Let's all
be hockey fans.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, I mean the stars are consistent.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, Like it's hard.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I can't skate, so yeah, to me, that is the
hard one. I stand a better chance at Major League
Baseball than I do Major hockey, and I don't stand
a chance at either. All right, let's jump into something
I was curious about with Rebecca. So like us, we
used to work in Dallas radio.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Now we don't.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Now we're all doing our podcast thing. We're on the
radio in Brownwood, Texas. Yeah for us, but none of
us have had to go through traditional job interview things
for the majority of our careers. So I hear Trey.
Was it yesterday or day before we were talking about
hiring managers at corporations? Now have these new tricks, some new,
(31:44):
some'm old for interviewees to see if they're the proper
fit for a job. It has nothing to do with
your work history, has nothing to do with your qualifications
or references. It's whether or not you pass the salt
and pepper test at a lunch interview, or whether or
not you pass the coffee cup test in the breakroom
(32:04):
for an interview. Rebecca, are you familiar with either of those?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I'm like, what's the coffee cup test?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
The coffee cup test we learned is in an interview,
they will say, hey, before we get started, would you
like a cup of coffee or something from the breakroom?
And then you go whether you get a tea, coffee, water,
but if you use like one of their glasses or mugs,
what the interviewer is looking for after the interview is
whether or not you want to take it back to
(32:31):
the breakroom, Like if you just leave it on the
desk or set it someplace and forget it, they see
that as a sign of not being a team player,
being inconsiderate, and you're not going to get the gig.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Oh man, that's like so judgy. But then also when
you're in someone else's house, like, why would you not
take it to the sink?
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Yeah, Trey, I mean everyone who ever worked in radio
would probably fail at that one, because yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
And now what would happen is me, being the diva
that I am, I'd be like, who the hell's gonna
get me coffee?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I would think the radio version of that would be,
unless you had an intern running baby for you, we'll
just take it back to the breakroom, throw it in
the breakroom somewhere, and wherever a lands is where it
now lives because no one cleans in breakrooms, and I
think that's true at major corporations or radio stations.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Agreed, the microwave is always disgusting at any job that.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You ever go to, and don't steal people's food.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That should wait, that should be on the test. The
microwave thing like are you willing to microwave broccoli or
do you bring fish to work?
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Like?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
If you answer yes to either of those questions, you done.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
See I like the flip side of that, because I'm
okay to bring some fish in microwave. I'm okay to
do something stinky in the breakroom microwave because I'm trying
to eat healthy and you might be having your dale
old pizza that's being warmed up tempting me. So it's
only fair play to Yeah, it's a stretch.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You're the worst one, You're the worst. No, and I'm
not gonna if I'm being honest, I have one brought
tuna fish to work just to get back at people
who have like burned broccoli in the microwave.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, that's actually the reason I do it is because
I don't like people.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
See, that's just we're just petty, that's all.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah. Okay, so now that you know about the saltan
pepper test, oh sorry, the coffee cup test. The salt
and pepper test one was whether or not you season
your food before you taste it. Some hiring managers say
if you're if you're salting food before you eat it,
that's bad. Anyway, when was the last real job interview
(34:53):
you had, Rebecca?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (34:55):
God?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Are you almost two years ago?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Maybe Trey has a little more experience in this realm
than I do, because most of my radio stuff and
interviews haven't really been interviews. It's here and that's pretty
much their their reaction to it. But it did make
me think about what are some of the no nos
at job interviews? Like, what are some of the things
(35:20):
you definitely should not do in a job interview? Because
people are losing jobs left and right, I think some
people might need to know these things. Trey, what would
be what would be a suggestion from you? Something not
to do in a job interview?
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Be late, It's a good one, yeah, and anything service
industry related. Don't drink during the interview. You'll get offered it.
Don't do it?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Is that your test as a bar manager? Will you
ask them if they want a shot? If they say yes,
they don't get the job.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Oh ask them if they want to drink.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I'm out, and so are you asking it from a
general standpoint, like, hey, would you like something to drink?
And if they order alcohol, that's bad. But if they
say yes, I'd like some water, they're good.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
Oh water, Yeah, water, fine, anything good. Don't don't drink
anything alcoholic, gotcha?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Okay, what if you.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Come in with Bailey's already in your coffee.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
You're getting ordered out the door.
Speaker 8 (36:17):
If you show up, if you show up to the
interview tanked, Yeah, no, thanks.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Right right, Like that's an automatic No, it has to be.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
It has to be. Uh So, anyway, based on you know,
the salt and pepper test and the coffee cup test,
there's all these no nos that you're there's all these
things you're not supposed to do for a job interview.
I decided I'll come up with a few of my own.
So the Treehouse shows top five things not to do
in a job interview. Okay, okay. Number five, do not
(36:47):
punch the interviewer in the face and call yourself a disruptor.
I don't know how much. I don't know how much
LinkedIn lurking and scrolling you guys have done in recent years.
I do more of it. Everyone tries to over inflate themselves. Yes,
and calling yourself a disruptor because you do things differently
sounds really really dumb.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I think I've commented like, when I see the word disruptor,
it's immediate anger, like immediate, and I'm like, no, you're not.
You're a loser that found a word, and you're just
gonna hone in on that and try to collect as
much as you can off of it.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
To me, it's like, if you use that word, you
just sound like a douche.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, immediately.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah. Number four, when they ask for references, do not
show them naked photos of yourself.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
What I thought, that's how you got the job?
Speaker 1 (37:41):
No, you know what, that's something ladies can get away
with maybe, but I don't think Trey and A you're
gonna get away without it.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
And there have been some morning shows, oh lord.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Number three, when they ask about career accomplishments, do not
recite Daniel day Lewis's I drink your milkshake speech.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
That's empowering.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, but don't make it your but don't steal it
like you'd said it.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Oh oh that makes sense, Like you what if you
add quotations? And then Daniel J. Lewis like it's a source.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah yeah, uh. Number two. When they ask if you
have any additional skills, do not say only fans and
number one of the top five no nos at a
job interview according to the Treehouse Show, when they ask
if you're a US citizen, do not say see, You're welcome.

DFW Radio Fame and today is Thursday, April tenth. Make
sure I got the correct date, because I got it wrong. Yesterday. Yes,
April tenth, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate with some birthdays
(39:42):
turning thirty three today, She plays Rey. Yeah you didn't.
There we go. I need my woosh, I need my woosh. Otherwise, Birthdays,
Phil Neked turning thirty three today, Gray in the New
Star Wars movies. Her actual name, Daisy Ridley, is the
three today Daisy Ridley, thirty three, Ray in the New
(40:04):
Star Wars movies. Trey and I have talked a lot
about the New Star Wars movies. Rebecca, we're learning about
you today that you're a big movie buff like I am.
What were your thoughts on the New Star Wars movies?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Which one.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Of the new three? Of the ones that Daisy Ridley
was in, you got Force Awakens, then the Red one,
and then the last one where they had the furry horses.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Okay, was the Red one, the one with the big
red war scene.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yes, that was the second one, directed by Ryan Johnson.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
That was the coolest war scene of any war scenes
that I've seen ever. I thought it was awesome because
it looks like blood is everywhere. The movie itself, I
thought was But I did like the first with Daisy Ridley,
the Force Awakens. I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I think you and I are on the same page there.
I liked the Force Awakens. Didn't love it, but I
liked it, but it set me up to have a
lot of hope for the future ones. And then in
that opening part of the second movie, I mean, the
whole first movie is all about getting that lightsaber back
to Luke Skywalker, and the first part of the second one,
Ryan Johnson turns the whole thing on its head and
(41:17):
Luke tosses it. I get why he did it, but
it also just felt like a huge middle finger to
Star Wars fans because he's like, I'm gonna do whatever
the hell I want and you.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Have to suck it, and you're gonna watch it anyway
so I can.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah. And then the third one, to me was it
was just JJ Abrams trying to save whatever he could
and it just it didn't. It didn't work as much
as I wanted it to, it didn't.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
And I don't think I saw the third one.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yeah, you're fine, Okay, Trey, you're kind of on board
with that. I think you may. You may dislike them
a little bit more than me.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
I disliked them a lot more than you, I believe.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I was trying to downplay it a little bit.
Speaker 8 (41:53):
Yeah, the first one is mid at best that the
next two are trash.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
I mean the next, the middle one. Your highlight is Yoda,
and then after that it's just all it's just crap.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
What does it say about me as a person that
I liked the one with that was Darth Vader focused
and he just like is mowing down everybody.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
Oh talking about Rogue one. Yes, that was great. I've
started a standalone that came out before those new ones. Yeah,
that one was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Okay, cool. Then I'm not alone in that world.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
No, No, I think I think most Star Wars fans
are like, oh, this movie's awesome.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Other birthdays today, moving on, Uh, We've got North Texas's own,
I believe from Grand Prairie. Baron Morris turns thirty five Today.
Country singer Baron Morris turns thirty five. Wow, Haley Joel
Osmond turns thirty seven. We were just talking about this
the other day, Trey, about how a lot of those
cute Hollywood actor kids don't always stay cute. Haley Joel
(42:56):
Osmond's one of the great recent examples of that. And
not to pick on the guy, but I mean it.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
He's unrecognizable these days. He's got like the thick beard.
He's a little bit heavier, I mean, like night and
day difference from his cuteness persona.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah, he's got that. It's like it's it's the dirty
neck beard trying to hide the thing.
Speaker 4 (43:20):
Literally, it's like he grew out, not up.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah, you're right, he's probably the same height that he
was in the sixth sense. Uh oh, he's just really Yeah. Sorry,
I know a guy. We're not fat shaming him. We're
just we're just that.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Sorry, Haley, he heard you.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
He's mad.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Yeah, I'm sure he cares. Putting on a pile of money.
Speaker 11 (43:51):
You're in the Treehouse because it is online a Treehouse
on Air dot com.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
M Goods.
Speaker 11 (44:10):
Listen us online at Treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
This is the Treehouse Show. I'm Dan, He's Trey. We've
got just a little bit more left inside the Treehouse
with our friend Rebecca Black from DFW Radio Fame along
with us, also from her Haunted af podcast that you
can get everywhere you get your podcasts, including where you
can get our podcast all the same cool platforms and
(44:35):
also with special content on Patreon. You can also find
Haunted af there Rebecca Black and her friend Julie co host.
So we were talking earlier today about whether or not
we should trust Hollywood with our fond childhood memories as
they remake or reboot or make sequels from movies that
(44:57):
are twenty twenty five, thirty thirty five years old, like
they're doing with Goonies, like they did with Top Gun,
and they've done with so many other things, and really
it seems like the only one that they've really done
well was the Top Gun Maverick sequel. But Rebecca, you
said there's another one coming out that you're hopeful for.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yeah, and that has to be Gremlins. Remember other movie Gremlins.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Of course, both of them.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah. And the only reason why I have high hopes
for this is because they've decided that they're not going
to use CGI and they're going to actually create the
special effects like they did back in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Nice great, Yeah, was that a Jim Henson creature type thing?
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Totally? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (45:41):
So are they doing a Grimlins three or are they
doing like a complete Gremlins remake?
Speaker 2 (45:48):
And you know what, I'm actually not sure. I don't
know that they've come out and said if they're doing
a remake, or if they're going to just can pick up,
you know, X amount of years later. I kind of
hope they just pick up X amount of years later.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I'm okay with that because at least then that way
you're not messing too much with the original stuff. Because
I will say, can you.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Imagine Little Gizmo on his deathbed because he's so old?
Speaker 3 (46:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Oh now I can't. That would sell some serious toys.
It just looks like a fuzzy Yoda. Yes, they may,
they may do that. I mean that's really what Actually,
that's really all Gizmo was was was a fuzzy Yoda.
It's the same years, all right. So yeah, Grimlin's three.
We don't know if it's a reboot or a sequel
or a remake. And there's and that's hard to follow, Hollywood,
(46:35):
so please get that straight.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Be specific when you put out the press release.
Speaker 8 (46:40):
Yeah, there's another, supposely a remake coming out that Dan,
you will be very interested in because you're a big
fan of the original.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Are they doing Are they doing American Ninja six or
Jim Katta two?
Speaker 2 (47:00):
What are those movies?
Speaker 1 (47:01):
I'll tell you later. We don't have enough. Yeah, I
don't have enough time to explain Jim Cotton. Uh, Predator,
Oh wait that you know that I'm all about. That's
Predator bad Lands.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
There's like twelve Predators already though. Yeah, and don't they
all somehow relate to Prometheus or whatever?
Speaker 3 (47:25):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (47:25):
There is a crossover, so in the in the alien
universe where it's the Xenomorphs and the Predators universe, they
do crossover. Got you had the Alien Verse? Predator had
a couple of those, which, honestly, those really weren't that
good of movies. And I was high. I was really
hopeful for those, but most.
Speaker 4 (47:46):
Of the how how were you hopeful for those?
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I was hoping. I was hoping they would be good.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
What's not to love? You have an alien versus a
predator and then they just fight the whole movie. That
sounds amazing, it does they?
Speaker 8 (48:00):
Yeah, Rebecca, you need you. Y'all can talk and watch
Jim Cotta together. You clearly are on the same plane.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Okay, it's a date then, Dan, you and I we're
gonna get together.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
The uh uh, the new the new Predator movie I'm
I'm hopeful for because I've seen all the Predator movies of.
Speaker 4 (48:21):
Course you have.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
They're not bad?
Speaker 4 (48:24):
Quit Oh oh really Predator? Predator two is not bad?
Speaker 1 (48:28):
Which is your Predator too?
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Which is your favorite Predator? The original?
Speaker 1 (48:33):
You you know, it's it's hard to go up against
the original of anything that starts it. But I have
a serious fondness for uh Prey, which was the newest
one that was the Native American Girl versus the Predator.
I loved that. I thought that movie was so much fun.
(48:54):
And that's why they're making this next Predator because that
one was good.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
See enough people watched it, Tray, so shut up.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
Did you see it?
Speaker 2 (49:02):
No?
Speaker 4 (49:03):
Then shut up?
Speaker 1 (49:10):
That would that would be two for two for the
Treehouse and Trey of making DFW radio women. Shut up.
I'm not saying it's a good thing for all things Treehouse.
Go to Treehouse on Air dot com, find and follow
us on social at Treehouse on Air. For me, it's
at the Daniel Maley. For Trey, it's at Trey Turn
Home one. Rebecca, what are your socials?
Speaker 2 (49:30):
I am at Haunted Rebecca.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
Yes, at Haunted Rebecca. Rebecca has a k check out
our channels. You can find her through that as well.
We'll see you guys tomorrow. Right here inside the treehouse,
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Mackley along with
Trey Trindholm on April tenth, twenty twenty five. Today is Thursday,
almost to Friday, and since it's almost Friday, just about
everybody's favorite day of the week, we decided to celebrate
by bringing on our friend and special guests that also
(00:46):
happens to be most people's favorite. That is Rebecca black Ormerly.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yo, that's not true at all. People do not like me.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh, I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You invited me back.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
No, no, no, I listened to Miles in the morning.
You were the you were the good one.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Where is Miles now, by the way, formerly of k
Love's Mornings.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
They live in Georgia. Now they moved back to Georgia Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, the FW radio hits people hard. Usually when they
come to town, they last for a little bit and then
they get smacked right back to where they came from,
like Georgia.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah. Like I thought they would stay in Dallas, and
then he ended up getting a radio job in Florida
and then you know, right now, everybody left and right
and get cut in Florida, so they moved back to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, uh, we're glad to have you back inside the treehouse.
I'm hoping that your internet works better than mine does,
although since you were just a little digitized there, we
might have a little AI Rebecca going on. But that's okay,
we'll take that.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Sorry. I'm even plugged in with like a hard cable,
like old school.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's the best, right. That's how Internet nerd I've had
to become in recent years is as I'm constantly looking
for a plug. Yeah, because I don't trust the wife,
all right. So very excited to have you on for
two reasons. One because it's you and two because I
(02:23):
saw this a couple of days ago and I kind
of got excited. But I don't know if Trey as
excited as I am about this. And so before we
got you in studio today, I asked you, Rebecca, are
you at all a Goonies fan? And Trey this was
her response.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Hey, you come.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
This is this is one of the most frightening things
I've ever seen in my life. And I've seen some stuff,
but You're welcome, thank you. So all I did was
asked Rebecca do you happen to be a fan of Goonies?
And she sent back some horrific amalgamation of her face
(03:10):
and the face of Sloth from Goonies combined and sent
me the video of her saying, Hey you guys, and
I had to say, I love it.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Very impressive. You a filter.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I would love to say that I created that especially
for you guys, but no, it's just a Snapchat filter.
And I have been rogue sending different versions of this
to all of my friends.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You have a lucky group of friends.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I do right. The first time, I might have been
a little tipsy, Mike.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Do you still have a group of friends or have
they all blocked you?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I'm done. I've got no one like I'm going
to leave you. I'm like, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's also interesting to know how how you'll look if
for some reason, you woke up with whatever syndrome Sloth had.
Now you'll know what to expect.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I am not a pretty bald.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I don't think not having hair is the problem in
that video. Really yeah, I think that's the least of
your worries. I think the nose and the teeth are
gonna be your downfall.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Maybe a little bit, maybe a little bit. But the
bald isn't helping either.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, that just just adds to it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But that's the beauty of sloth though. He's hideous on
the outside and sweet and tender and wonderful.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
On the inside, that is true, and a fierce protector
of his Goonies. Yes, he also had kind of a
point on the top of his head that had like
a little like makings of a wispy top knot.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It was a little it was like a little ginger
care at top.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, it was really really unfortunate. So the thing I
was excited about with the Goonies, and the reason I
asked you if you were at all a Goonies fan,
is because of something else that I saw this week
besides you sending me you looking like sloth, miss If
I can pull this up real quick, uh, the other
(05:08):
day on the Today Show, the Goonies had a bit
of a cast Tree union, and on the Today Show
they asked them about the newer news of a Goonies sequel,
and so they had Sean Aston, Corey Feldman, Martha Plimpton,
(05:30):
Carrie Green, Joe Pantaliano and I believe his name who
played the other brother. The other for Telly brother is
Robert Dove. I think so they had them all on
the Today Show and ask them about the possibility of
a Goonie sequel.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
And we're doing it or not another story.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
But I can tell you for sure Spielberg start this
over doing it. Whether we're doing it or not as
another story, but I can tell you for sure Spielberg
and Chris Columbus have a recipe and they're planning on something.
We wish them well and if they come to us,
we'll consider it.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
At that time, after it came out, Steven Spielberg sent
me a poster saying, I'm still a goony, how about you.
He's wanted to make the sequel, and he's the sole
reason it hasn't been made now because it hasn't been right.
The fact that he is endorsing this next thing is
why we know what's going to happen, and it's why
it has every chance to be spectacular.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So there you have it. I think, based on the
edit in there, I think the cast is excited about
the possibility, although Corey Feldman seems to be playing some
serious hardball with contract negotiations.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Which I'm like, Corey, your music career is not taking
off like I think you think it is, so this
might be a good idea to go ahead and jump
on board and get that little cash grab.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Yeah, he's holding out for an extra case of diet coke.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I did about this, Like, on the one hand, please
don't ruin the original Goonies, But if everybody is on board,
including the cast, Christopher Columbus and Steven Spielberg, like I'm
in one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
True.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I mean, Sean is looking more and more like a hobbit.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He is, and I I wonder if Kerrie Green and
Martha Plimpton feel attacked. It all from the fact that
Sean Aston has had a massive career since Goonies. He
had a career for Goonies, and he has not failed
to find work since. He also doesn't look like he's
failed to find a sandwich in the years since Goonies,
(07:40):
And it's almost like he's showing off how much money
he's made in Hollywood. He can eat whatever he wants,
including possibly sloth, and can still find work He's made.
He's been that successful, and poor Kerry Green is looking
at him like you've bastard I.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Know, I'm shocked that Carrie Green didn't have more after
the Goonies, Like she fit the mold. She fit that
eighties mold, So why did she not go on and
become more successful? And then I thought Martha Plimpton was
going to have like a resurgence in her forties. Oh god,
what was that show? Was by the creators of My
Name Is Earl?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It was the sitcom right, yes, and she was great
in it, and I thought for sure, like, Okay, here
we go. She's having a comeback, but not as much.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And Joe and Joe Pantleono's had a good career's al
He's been on sopranos, he's been at the Bad Boys
movies basically. And I haven't even mentioned Josh Brolin, right,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
He's not hur Thanos.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I mean even a y I can't say. I can't either,
Thank you, Trey. I was just going to be forced
to say data he's had a huge resurgence in the
last couple of years. So I'm with you, Rebecca. I'm
excited about a Goodies sequel.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well you, Trey, Hey, we'll get Travian, the old skeptical one.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well, let's let's let.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
This suck.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Well, let's be let's be honest. Hollywood's track record for
remakes and sequels is not good.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Hold that thought, Trey, Hold that thought, okay, because I
want That's the part I want to dig into in
the next portion. Here inside the Treehouse.
Speaker 9 (09:34):
You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse
on Air dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration into
the Treehouse eight three to three. Cook DFW is the
number to use for your free roof inspection the website
cookdfw dot com. Daniel, I saw recently that piece of
ice crashed through the roof of a Florida home and
the FA they came and somehow inspected it, I guess
(10:02):
before it melted and said this did not come from
a plane. So at the end of the day they
don't know what it was. But there's a big hole
in their roof. Obviously they need to call somebody. But
not all problems are that obvious, are they?
Speaker 7 (10:18):
No?
Speaker 10 (10:19):
Unfortunately, I mean a lot of times people call us
because they have a leak that they found out and
they have no clue where it's coming from. So unless
you have a hole in your roof, which hopefully you
don't because that's really bad. And so a lot of
times it's minor leaks that develop over time and then
(10:39):
they become bigger issues because you got to think about
this and all people don't. By the time a leak
gets inside your house, it's probably been leaking for months,
if not years, and it's just taken that long to
ride out the wood, to write out the insulation, to
write out the sheet rock, all those items between the
water outside and inside your house.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
It takes a while to get through.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
So if you're noticing inside your house, it's been there
for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And that right there is why getting your roof inspected
on a regular basis is so important. That way, Daniel
and his team from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration can catch
those problems when they're small before they turn into massive
money sucking problems. So give them in a call for
your free roof inspection today eight three to three Cook
DFW or the website cookdfw dot com.

(12:06):
This is the Treehouse Show. I'm Daniel Malling along with
Trey Turnholme and today's very special returning guest Rebecca Black,
one of our dear friends from DFW Radio Fame currently
of marketing director Semi Fame. Yeah, the uh not to
pick on you too much, Rebecca, And I mean the
pun there for the pick But are you okay? Are
(12:29):
you having about of North Texas allergies?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Totally one. Honestly, I feel like anytime I have to
crack open the mic, this happens during my podcast A
lot snot just starts flowing. I don't know if it's
like an adrenaline reaction or what, but.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yes, that's an interesting Trey with that constitute a Pvlavian
response like a microphone turns on and Rebecca's nose starts running.
I mean, it's an odd one, but it is.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
And I don't know how exactly she trained for that.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
But I know now most morning radio personalities trained for it.
But I don't know if Rebecca was big on the
two time for weather.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
No, that was not my scene.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
The only backup in this morning's traffic are these lines.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No, definitely not my scene. I can't even imagine myself
on that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I can't either.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Like I assume, did you guys ever see the movie
Requiem for a Dream. I assume I would be like
the old lady, just vacuuming the walls.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It's a lot better than being part of the ending. Literally, true,
very true.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Love to talk about that scene though.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Okay, Trey, have you seen Requiem for a Dream?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's kind of a metaphor for radio jobs.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Okay, this is when people have not seen this movie.
This is my favorite thing in the world, and it's like,
go and watch it. One time I had a friend
that was like, I don't get it. I don't get
this movie. I don't good A way so good, and
we're all like, wait till the end, till the end,
and then come back and talk to us, So, Trey,
that's your homework. Please go watch way till the end,
and then I fully expect a text from you, yeah,
(14:16):
on your.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Thoughts and if you would tray do us do us
all a favor when you're watching the last say ten minutes,
just bust out your phone, do the mirror record a
video of just your reaction to it watching Please, I
would love to see your reaction to the ending of
(14:37):
Requiem for a Dream. It does start, Jennifer Connley, So yeah,
all right, So back to the important news at hand
about the possibility of a goony sequel, Trey, you brought
up a very very integral point. Do we trust Hollywood
to make a proper sequel based on something so high
(15:00):
nostalgic as the Goonies?
Speaker 8 (15:02):
Well, here in lies another problem is will expectations be
so high because that is a cult classic of our childhood,
that we're going to be disappointed. We're almost setting ourselves
up for disappointment.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And there are plenty of examples of us being disappointed
by Hollywood playing around with what it calls IP, but
what we call our fond childhood memories. They've bastardized. G I, Joe,
I don't know they're in the midst of doing it
with he Man. I don't know if that's going to
(15:39):
be any good or not. Chances are no, chances are
it won't be, but I'm always hopeful because I'm kind
of an optimist. Other examples of note that where they've
taken Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters is a great one. Ghostbusters is near
and dear to our hearts here inside the Treehouse, and
they have ft that up. But they didn't just f
(16:01):
it up once. They've ffed it up with like three
new movies, and none of them are really well.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
The Female remake was trash. I mean, that's just it
was a bad script, bat everything. The Paul rud Ones,
I'm not as down on as you are.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I liked the first Paul one.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
But let's okay with it at best.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Let's let's go away from what the fact is about.
The only thing they've really done right is Top Gun.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I will agree with you. Top Gun. The sequel was perfection.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, And that's the only reason why I wanted to
talk about this, not so much about the Goonies sequel,
but about whether or not we trust Hollywood, Because Top
Gun Maverick is the only example I can think of
where they took a really old favorite film from the eighties, nineties,
whatever era and either redid it or added on to
(16:55):
it to any satisfaction. Is there another example besides Top Gun,
Maverick or a Hollywood actually did good by the reboot?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, I'm trying to Beetlejuice was No. Beetlejuice was garbage.
I got duped by that. I'm very mad about it.
I'm still mad about it. They had a good portion
of the storyline, but then when they added like the
singing and the dancing and the soul train to it,
I was like, No, that's not true to Beetlejuice.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It was weird because it actually, and this is going
to sound really odd to say, but Michael Keaton in
Beetlejuice too seemed like a watered down version of the
original Beetlejuice.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yes, very much so. I agree, Like he didn't curse
as much, he didn't do as many gross things, and
weirdly kind of helped out and became a hero. And
I'm like, I don't know that that's a Beetlejuice characteristic.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I don't I don't necessarily think that Beetlejuice needs the
Darth Vader arc.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Redemption.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Just let him be bad.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I will say. My only hope though for a follow
up to The Goonies is that all of the original
people are still on board.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, right, those who can, because some of course have passed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
And Spielberg I think understands the idea of sticking true
to the characters that were originally created. Tim Burton a
little different because Tim Burton is on a life journey
that is drastically different than Spielberg's.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
So yeah, the and then Christopher Columbus, who was I
think the writer and director or is it Richard Donner?
Tray that was a Donner film, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I amdb it. It's in that group of people that
they've done lots of things that we know are good,
but we know Hollywood people, they don't bat a thousand.
So anyway, it just it again kind of boils down
to do we actually trust Hollywood with our childhood memories?
And I don't think we can.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Well, I mean, I think a shining example.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
Maybe I'm wrong, but like I think the Naked Gun
remake is going to be trash.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I'm so afraid of that one.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Hold on. I do have a theory. So I my
theory is that if I enjoyed the trailer, I'm going
to hate the movie. If I hate the trailer, I'm
gonna love the movie. Interesting, So I hated the trailer
for The Naked Gun. Hated it, So I'm hoping that
I'm gonna love the movie.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
I have a feeling they put the only funny part,
which is the OJ the thing, but they're all talking
to their dads. I think that's going to be the
only funny part of the movie. I just I don't.
People do not give Leslie Nielson enough respect for he
was a comic, like he was a he was a
serious actor. Then he started doing the comedy stuff. But
(19:48):
he was so dry and and and his lines were
just so perfect, and you just I don't think you
can recreate that, especially not Liam Neeson.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I mean, I understand where you're coming from.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I don't. It's not that I don't think Liam Usa
can't do it, because I thought he was great as
the Lego police officer in the Lego movie.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Mm hmm. I thought he was also. I'm sorry he
was also great as he was also great as the
bad guy in A Million Ways to Die in the West,
which is was Seth MacFarland and Seth Macfarland's doing the
naked gun deal.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, so I think if he sticks to those type
of characters, he might nail it. No, Trey don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I can't wait for Halloween. I can't wait to see
your trade costume.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Does that mean I'm nailing the impression?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Oh, You've got it, absolutely nailed. The only thing you're
missing is the little drawing of the Tyrannosaurus wrecks over
your shoulder, and it could be Trey, just with long hair.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I need some glasses too. I feel like that'll set
it off. Oh yeah, I'm sorry, Trey.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I love you in a big glass of you.

Today is Thursday, April tenth, twenty twenty five. We'll jump
(22:37):
back into a little bit of Hollywood sequel news later on,
but we need to dig into some serious news inside
the Treehouse today. And it's not just serious news on
a global level, but even even at a Texas slash
North Texas level. Are did you guys know that dire
(22:57):
wolves were real and not just fabrication of the Game
of Throne show? No, No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I didn't either, And Trey's like I did, Philip Centrey.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
He does know that that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
It was, well, no, I know, and this is this
is a big scam.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Go ahead, okay, all right, here we go.
Speaker 12 (23:28):
We turned out of that remarkable scientific breakthrough. Thirteen thousand
years after the last dire wolf walked the earth, scientists
say they've now brought them back.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Here's our chief national course by all right. I know
this story is about dire wolves, and we're gonna get
to that, but can we first just talk about ABC
News David meir Is, is there a person on the
planet that knows their good side more than he does
because he does not move his head. He's like, the
right side of my face is the good side, and
(23:57):
I'm not effing moving. You will not see the left
side because of that. I wonder if he has some
sort of palsy or if he's had a stroke, Like
it doesn't look as bad at an angle, but if
he was to turn like as his face would turn
towards his bad side, it might actually start melting.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, it might. He probably works out specifically so that
his face will stay in the same position, work out
this side a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You're right, he probably does like face lunges.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh yeah, totally or Guasha, Yes, he does.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
He does that.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Spoken like you guys even know what that is.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Mm hm.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Even Trey doesn't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Okay, for your one percent female audience, they will.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
It's like thirty to forty. Yeah, then.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
All right, I like that. Good for you guys.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But what is it?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'll talk skip on past. It's like
this little weird shaped like I don't want to call
it a crystal or a rock, but like you do
these things to get rid of wrinkles on your face
and to like lymphatic massage, get all the fat out.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Basically, so rub crystals on your nodes.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah kind of yeah, got it.
Speaker 12 (25:21):
Well, let's go back to de extincting animals we turned
out of that remarkable scientific breakthrough. Thirteen thousand years after
the last dire wolf walked the earth, scientists say they've
now brought them back. Oh good, here's our chief national
course by the back up and with the video tonight
possibly go wrong?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Tonight a how thirteen thousand years in the making. In
a first for science, biotech company Colossal Biosciences says it
brought the extinct dire wolf back to life, a species
that hasn't walked the earth since the Stone Age.
Speaker 13 (25:54):
The direwolf is the first extinct species.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well known from HBO's hit show Game of Thrones.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
ABC New's given exclusive access into Colossal's lab in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Or scientists are using genes from gray wolves to create
dire wolves.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
We've taken a gray wolf genome, a gray wolf cell,
which is already genetically ninety nine point five percent identical
to dire wolves, and we've edited those cells at multiple
places in its DNA sequence to contain the dire wolf
version of the DNA. That animal looks like a dire wolf,
It will behave like a dire wolf, and it is
(26:34):
a dire wolf.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Now, all right? If she is that adamant about it.
To me, it just sounds like and correct me if
I'm wrong. Science Officer Trenholm. They made a gray wolf
white and are calling it a dire wolf.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Agreed.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
That's everything I've read said. Yeah, yeah, yes, it's impressive.
But they have not really brought back a you know,
extinct species. They have just modified a gray wolf.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
You know, there's a zoo in China that's been doing
this for years. They'll just like they'll just take a
dog and spray painted black and white and call it
a panda and it and it cost way less money.
I mean, you're talking about a trip to home depot
for some paint and a Wagner versus millions of dollars
(27:26):
in research dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But it is cute.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Oh they are adorable.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I mean, but it's cute.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
They are cute as puppies, there's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I'm sure t rexes were adorable as babies.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, no, they weren't. In Jurassic Park. When that when
the little little raptor pops out of the egg or
little tea recor, it's like a you know, it's almost
like a It's just like a raspy kitten.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
What what? What? What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I was about to say that means this is not
going to end well, Like somebody is gonna get their
face eaten off by the wolf and then we're all
going to be running from it soon.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I mean, look, and since this lab is based in Dallas,
I couldn't help but think doesn't Dallas have enough problems?
I mean, sitting in traffic on six point thirty five
is bad enough. I shouldn't have to worry about a
thirteen thousand year old dire wolf running through traffic eating people.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, I mean, maybe.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's gonna solve our rampant like the nasty pig problem
that we have.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
The Farrell Hogs, Yeah, the Faral hogs.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Think you couldn't ruer what they were called.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Maybe can they get genetically engineer a quarterback for the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Oh, now we're talking at the dire situation.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You're in the treehouse.

He's Trey. She is Rebecca Black, our friend from DFW
(29:32):
Radio days. I like to think that somewhere Dak Prescott
is doing something enjoyable. And then he felt a shiver
down his spine at your comment, Trey, good on you.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I nearly went Gary huggaboom.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Holy wow, Rebecca, isn't your husband a football coach?
Speaker 9 (29:55):
He is?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, McKinney North, Yeah, do you.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Know anything about quarterbacks? Is he on Jerry Jones's call
list for next head coach type job? Because we're pretty
desperate at this point, and I'm sure he's good.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I don't think he would want it.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Wow, an offensive line a high school offensive line coach
and look at the Cowboys job and go, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Well, I'm gonna be honest. I think he's got a
better record than the Cowboys do, so it would be
like a step down.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Like, let's be real, they suck, man. They haven't been
good since the nineties, since we won Super Bowl with
Troy Yigman. Jerry Jones trying to save this team.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Because if we can save the team somehow, we were
saving ourselves.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
No, like we already killed the Mavericks. Now we've killed
the Cowboys. Like there's nothing left for us. Let's all
be hockey fans.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, I mean the stars are consistent.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, Like it's hard.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I can't skate, so yeah, to me, that is the
hard one. I stand a better chance at Major League
Baseball than I do Major hockey, and I don't stand
a chance at either. All right, let's jump into something
I was curious about with Rebecca. So like us, we
used to work in Dallas radio.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Now we don't.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Now we're all doing our podcast thing. We're on the
radio in Brownwood, Texas. Yeah for us, but none of
us have had to go through traditional job interview things
for the majority of our careers. So I hear Trey.
Was it yesterday or day before we were talking about
hiring managers at corporations? Now have these new tricks, some new,
(31:44):
some'm old for interviewees to see if they're the proper
fit for a job. It has nothing to do with
your work history, has nothing to do with your qualifications
or references. It's whether or not you pass the salt
and pepper test at a lunch interview, or whether or
not you pass the coffee cup test in the breakroom
(32:04):
for an interview. Rebecca, are you familiar with either of those?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I'm like, what's the coffee cup test?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
The coffee cup test we learned is in an interview,
they will say, hey, before we get started, would you
like a cup of coffee or something from the breakroom?
And then you go whether you get a tea, coffee, water,
but if you use like one of their glasses or mugs,
what the interviewer is looking for after the interview is
whether or not you want to take it back to
(32:31):
the breakroom, Like if you just leave it on the
desk or set it someplace and forget it, they see
that as a sign of not being a team player,
being inconsiderate, and you're not going to get the gig.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Oh man, that's like so judgy. But then also when
you're in someone else's house, like, why would you not
take it to the sink?
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Yeah, Trey, I mean everyone who ever worked in radio
would probably fail at that one, because yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
And now what would happen is me, being the diva
that I am, I'd be like, who the hell's gonna
get me coffee?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I would think the radio version of that would be,
unless you had an intern running baby for you, we'll
just take it back to the breakroom, throw it in
the breakroom somewhere, and wherever a lands is where it
now lives because no one cleans in breakrooms, and I
think that's true at major corporations or radio stations.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Agreed, the microwave is always disgusting at any job that.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You ever go to, and don't steal people's food.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That should wait, that should be on the test. The
microwave thing like are you willing to microwave broccoli or
do you bring fish to work?
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Like?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
If you answer yes to either of those questions, you done.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
See I like the flip side of that, because I'm
okay to bring some fish in microwave. I'm okay to
do something stinky in the breakroom microwave because I'm trying
to eat healthy and you might be having your dale
old pizza that's being warmed up tempting me. So it's
only fair play to Yeah, it's a stretch.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You're the worst one, You're the worst. No, and I'm
not gonna if I'm being honest, I have one brought
tuna fish to work just to get back at people
who have like burned broccoli in the microwave.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, that's actually the reason I do it is because
I don't like people.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
See, that's just we're just petty, that's all.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah. Okay, so now that you know about the saltan
pepper test, oh sorry, the coffee cup test. The salt
and pepper test one was whether or not you season
your food before you taste it. Some hiring managers say
if you're if you're salting food before you eat it,
that's bad. Anyway, when was the last real job interview
(34:53):
you had, Rebecca?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (34:55):
God?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Are you almost two years ago?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Maybe Trey has a little more experience in this realm
than I do, because most of my radio stuff and
interviews haven't really been interviews. It's here and that's pretty
much their their reaction to it. But it did make
me think about what are some of the no nos
at job interviews? Like, what are some of the things
(35:20):
you definitely should not do in a job interview? Because
people are losing jobs left and right, I think some
people might need to know these things. Trey, what would
be what would be a suggestion from you? Something not
to do in a job interview?
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Be late, It's a good one, yeah, and anything service
industry related. Don't drink during the interview. You'll get offered it.
Don't do it?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Is that your test as a bar manager? Will you
ask them if they want a shot? If they say yes,
they don't get the job.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Oh ask them if they want to drink.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I'm out, and so are you asking it from a
general standpoint, like, hey, would you like something to drink?
And if they order alcohol, that's bad. But if they
say yes, I'd like some water, they're good.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
Oh water, Yeah, water, fine, anything good. Don't don't drink
anything alcoholic, gotcha?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Okay, what if you.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Come in with Bailey's already in your coffee.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
You're getting ordered out the door.
Speaker 8 (36:17):
If you show up, if you show up to the
interview tanked, Yeah, no, thanks.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Right right, Like that's an automatic No, it has to be.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
It has to be. Uh So, anyway, based on you know,
the salt and pepper test and the coffee cup test,
there's all these no nos that you're there's all these
things you're not supposed to do for a job interview.
I decided I'll come up with a few of my own.
So the Treehouse shows top five things not to do
in a job interview. Okay, okay. Number five, do not
(36:47):
punch the interviewer in the face and call yourself a disruptor.
I don't know how much. I don't know how much
LinkedIn lurking and scrolling you guys have done in recent years.
I do more of it. Everyone tries to over inflate themselves. Yes,
and calling yourself a disruptor because you do things differently
sounds really really dumb.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I think I've commented like, when I see the word disruptor,
it's immediate anger, like immediate, and I'm like, no, you're not.
You're a loser that found a word, and you're just
gonna hone in on that and try to collect as
much as you can off of it.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
To me, it's like, if you use that word, you
just sound like a douche.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, immediately.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah. Number four, when they ask for references, do not
show them naked photos of yourself.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
What I thought, that's how you got the job?
Speaker 1 (37:41):
No, you know what, that's something ladies can get away
with maybe, but I don't think Trey and A you're
gonna get away without it.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
And there have been some morning shows, oh lord.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Number three, when they ask about career accomplishments, do not
recite Daniel day Lewis's I drink your milkshake speech.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
That's empowering.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, but don't make it your but don't steal it
like you'd said it.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Oh oh that makes sense, Like you what if you
add quotations? And then Daniel J. Lewis like it's a source.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah yeah, uh. Number two. When they ask if you
have any additional skills, do not say only fans and
number one of the top five no nos at a
job interview according to the Treehouse Show, when they ask
if you're a US citizen, do not say see, You're welcome.

DFW Radio Fame and today is Thursday, April tenth. Make
sure I got the correct date, because I got it wrong. Yesterday. Yes,
April tenth, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate with some birthdays
(39:42):
turning thirty three today, She plays Rey. Yeah you didn't.
There we go. I need my woosh, I need my woosh. Otherwise, Birthdays,
Phil Neked turning thirty three today, Gray in the New
Star Wars movies. Her actual name, Daisy Ridley, is the
three today Daisy Ridley, thirty three, Ray in the New
(40:04):
Star Wars movies. Trey and I have talked a lot
about the New Star Wars movies. Rebecca, we're learning about
you today that you're a big movie buff like I am.
What were your thoughts on the New Star Wars movies?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Which one.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Of the new three? Of the ones that Daisy Ridley
was in, you got Force Awakens, then the Red one,
and then the last one where they had the furry horses.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Okay, was the Red one, the one with the big
red war scene.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yes, that was the second one, directed by Ryan Johnson.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
That was the coolest war scene of any war scenes
that I've seen ever. I thought it was awesome because
it looks like blood is everywhere. The movie itself, I
thought was But I did like the first with Daisy Ridley,
the Force Awakens. I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I think you and I are on the same page there.
I liked the Force Awakens. Didn't love it, but I
liked it, but it set me up to have a
lot of hope for the future ones. And then in
that opening part of the second movie, I mean, the
whole first movie is all about getting that lightsaber back
to Luke Skywalker, and the first part of the second one,
Ryan Johnson turns the whole thing on its head and
(41:17):
Luke tosses it. I get why he did it, but
it also just felt like a huge middle finger to
Star Wars fans because he's like, I'm gonna do whatever
the hell I want and you.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Have to suck it, and you're gonna watch it anyway
so I can.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah. And then the third one, to me was it
was just JJ Abrams trying to save whatever he could
and it just it didn't. It didn't work as much
as I wanted it to, it didn't.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
And I don't think I saw the third one.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yeah, you're fine, Okay, Trey, you're kind of on board
with that. I think you may. You may dislike them
a little bit more than me.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
I disliked them a lot more than you, I believe.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I was trying to downplay it a little bit.
Speaker 8 (41:53):
Yeah, the first one is mid at best that the
next two are trash.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
I mean the next, the middle one. Your highlight is Yoda,
and then after that it's just all it's just crap.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
What does it say about me as a person that
I liked the one with that was Darth Vader focused
and he just like is mowing down everybody.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
Oh talking about Rogue one. Yes, that was great. I've
started a standalone that came out before those new ones. Yeah,
that one was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Okay, cool. Then I'm not alone in that world.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
No, No, I think I think most Star Wars fans
are like, oh, this movie's awesome.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Other birthdays today, moving on, Uh, We've got North Texas's own,
I believe from Grand Prairie. Baron Morris turns thirty five Today.
Country singer Baron Morris turns thirty five. Wow, Haley Joel
Osmond turns thirty seven. We were just talking about this
the other day, Trey, about how a lot of those
cute Hollywood actor kids don't always stay cute. Haley Joel
(42:56):
Osmond's one of the great recent examples of that. And
not to pick on the guy, but I mean it.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
He's unrecognizable these days. He's got like the thick beard.
He's a little bit heavier, I mean, like night and
day difference from his cuteness persona.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah, he's got that. It's like it's it's the dirty
neck beard trying to hide the thing.
Speaker 4 (43:20):
Literally, it's like he grew out, not up.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah, you're right, he's probably the same height that he
was in the sixth sense. Uh oh, he's just really Yeah. Sorry,
I know a guy. We're not fat shaming him. We're
just we're just that.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Sorry, Haley, he heard you.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
He's mad.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Yeah, I'm sure he cares. Putting on a pile of money.
Speaker 11 (43:51):
You're in the Treehouse because it is online a Treehouse
on Air dot com.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
M Goods.
Speaker 11 (44:10):
Listen us online at Treehouse on air dot com.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
This is the Treehouse Show. I'm Dan, He's Trey. We've
got just a little bit more left inside the Treehouse
with our friend Rebecca Black from DFW Radio Fame along
with us, also from her Haunted af podcast that you
can get everywhere you get your podcasts, including where you
can get our podcast all the same cool platforms and
(44:35):
also with special content on Patreon. You can also find
Haunted af there Rebecca Black and her friend Julie co host.
So we were talking earlier today about whether or not
we should trust Hollywood with our fond childhood memories as
they remake or reboot or make sequels from movies that
(44:57):
are twenty twenty five, thirty thirty five years old, like
they're doing with Goonies, like they did with Top Gun,
and they've done with so many other things, and really
it seems like the only one that they've really done
well was the Top Gun Maverick sequel. But Rebecca, you
said there's another one coming out that you're hopeful for.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yeah, and that has to be Gremlins. Remember other movie Gremlins.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Of course, both of them.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah. And the only reason why I have high hopes
for this is because they've decided that they're not going
to use CGI and they're going to actually create the
special effects like they did back in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Nice great, Yeah, was that a Jim Henson creature type thing?
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Totally? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (45:41):
So are they doing a Grimlins three or are they
doing like a complete Gremlins remake?
Speaker 2 (45:48):
And you know what, I'm actually not sure. I don't
know that they've come out and said if they're doing
a remake, or if they're going to just can pick up,
you know, X amount of years later. I kind of
hope they just pick up X amount of years later.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I'm okay with that because at least then that way
you're not messing too much with the original stuff. Because
I will say, can you.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Imagine Little Gizmo on his deathbed because he's so old?
Speaker 3 (46:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Oh now I can't. That would sell some serious toys.
It just looks like a fuzzy Yoda. Yes, they may,
they may do that. I mean that's really what Actually,
that's really all Gizmo was was was a fuzzy Yoda.
It's the same years, all right. So yeah, Grimlin's three.
We don't know if it's a reboot or a sequel
or a remake. And there's and that's hard to follow, Hollywood,
(46:35):
so please get that straight.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Be specific when you put out the press release.
Speaker 8 (46:40):
Yeah, there's another, supposely a remake coming out that Dan,
you will be very interested in because you're a big
fan of the original.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Are they doing Are they doing American Ninja six or
Jim Katta two?
Speaker 2 (47:00):
What are those movies?
Speaker 1 (47:01):
I'll tell you later. We don't have enough. Yeah, I
don't have enough time to explain Jim Cotton. Uh, Predator,
Oh wait that you know that I'm all about. That's
Predator bad Lands.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
There's like twelve Predators already though. Yeah, and don't they
all somehow relate to Prometheus or whatever?
Speaker 3 (47:25):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (47:25):
There is a crossover, so in the in the alien
universe where it's the Xenomorphs and the Predators universe, they
do crossover. Got you had the Alien Verse? Predator had
a couple of those, which, honestly, those really weren't that
good of movies. And I was high. I was really
hopeful for those, but most.
Speaker 4 (47:46):
Of the how how were you hopeful for those?
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I was hoping. I was hoping they would be good.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
What's not to love? You have an alien versus a
predator and then they just fight the whole movie. That
sounds amazing, it does they?
Speaker 8 (48:00):
Yeah, Rebecca, you need you. Y'all can talk and watch
Jim Cotta together. You clearly are on the same plane.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Okay, it's a date then, Dan, you and I we're
gonna get together.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
The uh uh, the new the new Predator movie I'm
I'm hopeful for because I've seen all the Predator movies of.
Speaker 4 (48:21):
Course you have.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
They're not bad?
Speaker 4 (48:24):
Quit Oh oh really Predator? Predator two is not bad?
Speaker 1 (48:28):
Which is your Predator too?
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Which is your favorite Predator? The original?
Speaker 1 (48:33):
You you know, it's it's hard to go up against
the original of anything that starts it. But I have
a serious fondness for uh Prey, which was the newest
one that was the Native American Girl versus the Predator.
I loved that. I thought that movie was so much fun.
(48:54):
And that's why they're making this next Predator because that
one was good.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
See enough people watched it, Tray, so shut up.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
Did you see it?
Speaker 2 (49:02):
No?
Speaker 4 (49:03):
Then shut up?
Speaker 1 (49:10):
That would that would be two for two for the
Treehouse and Trey of making DFW radio women. Shut up.
I'm not saying it's a good thing for all things Treehouse.
