Speaker 1 (00:19):
It is time you leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Thursday, April twenty fourth,
two thousand and five. Trey, If you don't mind, I'd
(00:40):
like to quote you from earlier this week, just when
you thought it was gonna be a boring week, the
pope dies.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You can get a conclave.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I'm gonna skirt it up. Yeah, just when you think
it's gonna be a boring week, we get a conclave. Well,
I forgot that. There's you know, there's the eventual conclave,
which is it's all the cardinals of the Catholic Church
all come together into one room. They get locked inside
(01:13):
of it and they have to decide on who the
new Pope is going to be. But before and then
we all start watching Chimney smoke like crazy. But before
all that happens, I forgot about all the other traditions
that take place. Where where did it go here? It is?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, there's a lot of ancient traditions that really seemed
to be redundant at this point because of modern technology,
but they still do them.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
For example, with the death of Pope Francis. We're learning
about the selection of a new pope, but there are
also some very interesting things they do with the dead pope.
Historic rites and rituals are performed after the death of
a pope, including three blows to the head with a
silver hammer. Well they say it's supposed to be three
(02:15):
gentle taps on the forehead, but the silver hammer part
is accurate. And I know what you're thinking. Are they
checking to see if anyone's home? Is this some really
weird Catholic version of a werewolf test? It's actually the former.
(02:36):
They're making sure he's dead. Look, I like traditions, you know,
I like routine, but I think that's one that you know, Like,
like you said, Trey, technology exists that you can find
out if there's anyone still at home inside the You
(03:01):
don't need to use the silver hammer method, although it
is very entertaining.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well it also it also the other interesting thing about
it is when they're doing that, they use his first
name now, so he's been going by Pope Francis for
it since eleven years, So now they go pack or hey,
(03:28):
you in there.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Frank, Frank, you in there? Frank?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
What if you're a What if you're a really heavy
sleeper and the three taps.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Don't work, well, that's when you, you know, the strength
test at the arcade or or at the state fair
with the really big hammer. Frank in there, Hey, look,
high score, I get a free turkey leg Frank, wake
up the lady in here.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
If he's like, how long have you been? How long
have I been out?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What a miss? No, you're right, yeah, they actually uh,
they tap him on the head. Certain rights and rituals
follow the death of a pope, including tapping his forehead
with a silver hammer. It is the carme lingo's duty
to perform the right, administering three gentle taps on the
(04:40):
pope's forehead and calling him by his first name. It's
the traditional way of making sure a pope has died.
Thank you, Thank you Catholicism for keeping certain traditions alive.
Did they air that, by the way, have they done
that test? Or is that the last thing they do
(05:00):
before they take it out of lying in the state. Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, this is done in his like typically the pontiff
eyes in his quarters and so it's it's all done
while he's in.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
His bed and behind closed doors like hind closed doors.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I want to watch that, the breaking of the seal.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
The I want to see the tapping of the pope
carry that live on cable news.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
They got to crush his ring, like the ring that
he the papal ring that hes.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
They have to break it cruse, you just have to
break it. Then melted down to a new one. But
this pope. Typically those are gold rings. This one shows
sterling silver, which a may prove harder to break.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But uh, which also served as another test that he
was in fact not a werewolf.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yes, but all these all these things happened for a reason.
The tapping of the head that had to happen for
a reason, Like they thought someone was dead.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
There was one time some dude woke up. They're like, okay, yeah, yeah,
did you got to start tapping these guys?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You know, they're like they're putting the holy water on
them and it gets splashed in the and it's like, hey,
what's going on? We thought you were dead?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Isn't that the old uh the old grave uh, like
the old grave worker type thing and where a body
gets buried and then they tie a string or something
somewhere in the hole and then there's a bell that
sits on top of the grave for just in case
they wake up after being buried and be like little
(06:43):
hell please. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
And there have been instances. I believe there was like
one or two where the bell rung and they had
to get this person out of the ground.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Another ritual sees the destruction of a papal symbol known
as the annulus piscatoris or episcatory ring. I feel like
they should have renamed that. But whatever. The ring represents
the first Pope, Saint Peter, who was a fisherman. Usually
the remnants of the destroyed ring are used to make
a new one for a late pope's successor. This is
(07:19):
just lord of the ring stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Now that's as precious.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
When the late Pope Francis assumed the papacy, is it
papacy papacy, Papa papacy. In twenty thirteen, he opted for
a ring made of gilded silver rather than the traditional
ring of yellow gold. Just like you said, there tree,
here you go. This right includes certain steps leading up
to the rings being destroyed. See this is lord of
(07:51):
the Rings. I feel like this Pope's death is being
directed by Peter Jackson be really interesting though, if the
Pope gets to the gates and Saint Peter's St. Peter's
standing there with a big staff and says you shall
not pass, and would he be shocked, like really, not
(08:16):
even me. The destruction symbolizes the end of a pope's rule,
with the creation of a new ring representing a new pope,
assuming the papacy the new ring to rule them all
is my assumption.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's I mean, it's, you know, the the the person
you want to be pope is the person who doesn't
want to be pope. And but the problem is, I
mean it's it's as much as they want to think
it's a holy process, I mean, it's a bunch of
you know, power hungry cardinals that all, you know, jockeying
(08:55):
for position.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
To roomful the dude swearing up down left rights. I
don't want to beat a pulp not at all, or no, no, no,
what to all right? One of you's got at least
say yes, well, and that you've got to say all right,
I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That That is the fascinating thing. The thing about Pope
Francis is he came, like to the story, he was
in the process of resigning when Benedict and he wanted
to be transferred back to it from Argentina. I believe
he wanted to be you know, basically demoted and not
(09:32):
be a cardinal anymore, or or basically go back to
Argentina when Benedict was resigning and Benedict was like, you know,
you need to be pope and he didn't want it.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
See that tells me that the three taps to the
forehead are not gentle taps. He knows he's going to
get smacked in the head with a silver hammer three
times and he doesn't want to have to endure that.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I think, you know, he'll be dead. That's the It's
just one of those like Well was saying, like some
people that that's why they vote. That's why they vote,
because you don't have a choice. Then, so if if
it's a unanimous vote, then it's you. Even if you
don't want it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Even even if you're trying to take the Nazi way
out and run to South America, the Catholic Church will
find you. And you know what, maybe maybe the three
smacks to the head with the silver hammer. Look, it
clearly works. Maybe it's not only a tool to see
Maybe it's not only a test to see if you
are in fact dead, but if you wake up after
(10:37):
the first or second, then then you get two more,
just to make sure the job is finished. Because we've
already started up the smoke and the fire and we're
already printing out little pieces of paper for ballots.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I mean, maybe we're overthinking it. Maybe they just like
the game of.

We got a recent reminder, Daniel that storm season is
no longer one season out of four. It is year
(11:31):
round in North Texas and a severe storm can pop
up anytime, and that means at any moment you may
have some roof damage.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah, Dan, we stopped being uh, you know, springtime storms
years ago and so now and I try to educate
everybody that you shouldn't protect your roof from the storms.
You should protect your roof because it's the thing that
you need to do. Where we live. We've all made
a conscious decision about leott living here in Texas and
exactly the DFW metroplex. We have our strong storms, but
(12:04):
we also have extreme temperatures, we have extreme wins, we
have all kinds of things that our homes take a
beating on. So you really need to protect your roof
year round because it's the right thing to do for
your home. And so it's really easy. You call us out,
We come out, We inspect your roof. If you don't
need anything, we high five each other. We say see
you next year. If you do, we take some pictures,
(12:25):
we take some measurements. We show you what your home needs.
It may not be a whole roof, it may be
just some small repairs that will extend your roof life.
But when you let small things go on your home,
they always turn into larger and that's where it goes
down here really fast. So all you have to do
gives a shout, We'll come out, We'll give you an
honest opinion about it, and then you can make a decision.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Love that about you, guys. No pressure decision is yours,

This is the Treehouse Show. I'm Daniel Maley along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Thursday, April twenty fourth,
twenty twenty five. Do you guys ever miss your school days?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
What about what about substitute teacher school days? Weren't those
the best when they rolled in that television? Oh god? Yeah,
those days are obviously gone for the three of us,
But that doesn't mean substitute teacher days aren't still fun.
Like this substitute teacher day in Florida. It was truly
(14:19):
action packed. A former substitute teacher in Florida. That should
give you a pretty big clue right there. A former
substitute teacher in Florida is facing felony charge just after
she allegedly encouraged two middle school students to fight. Taysha
(14:40):
Holmes is twenty. She was arrested by. Seems kind of
young for a substitute teacher, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
The departments are weird because it's I think you have
to have thirty hours and a like a CEA average
if you want to just be a substitute.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Okay, not sure what the requirements are in Florida, but
that sounds like Texas stuff. Maybe I would assume similar anyway.
Taja Holmes was arrested by Hendry County School Resource officers
on April sixteenth after a parent showed officials a video
on her child's cell phone of an n class altercation
between two students the day before. The censored video appeared
(15:21):
to show Homes, the substitute teacher, holding back one student
who was being taunted by another. As both students continue
to argue, Homes can be heard telling them to deal
with their issues outside of school at the park. One
of the kids wasn't even a student in the class.
(15:41):
I had this kid get in here. That part doesn't
seem to come up again in the story. One of
the kids wasn't a student in the class. Holmes had
requested that the front desk send the student who wasn't
even in the class into her classroom. Although it's unclear
why now they're saying they're really taken aback by the
(16:02):
behavior of what we saw, what we heard on this video.
This is according to police department spokesperson. At one point,
she tells the students in one of the videos that
they need to take it outside or take it off
school campus and take it to the park. That the
police captain went on to say, you don't encourage children
to fight. Yeah, you do. I for one give the
(16:27):
teacher credit. She did not break the first rule of
student fight club, which is, of course you do not
talk about student fight club. I mean, how it was
video evidence that took her down. I mean, Tyler Durden
would be proud. The district says she passed background checks
(16:49):
and has been working in the district for the past
two years, so that means conceivably. She started working at
the district when she was eighteen. The superintendent hold the
local news that the district is continuing to add safety
layers to our schools, had said that Holmes has since
been fired and banned from all Hendry County schools.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
That's so unfortunate. Like that's an old that's an old saying,
Like take it to the yard. Like that's an old
that's an old saying. And that's what she did. She said,
don't do this in my class, take it outside. Yeah,
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You know what I am too. But the truly alarming
thing is when we were in school, the substitute teacher
would roll into television with this substitute teacher, she rolled
in the bully who doesn't even go to the school,
isn't even in the class, to confront the kid, and
then had the gall to say, y'all need to take
this outside.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Where did she find that kid?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I'm wondering did they know each other? Was I mean,
there's so many questions with this story.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I mean sounds like she was running a you know,
undercover fight club, that she had money, she had money
on the on the outside kid, that she did she
had money on the ring.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, we have like a Florida version of Fight Club
which turns into basically a mashup of student fight Club
and student blood Sport at the Kumi te at the Park.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'm sure there's a gator in there somewhere.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's two middle school students and a gator. Can we
put that on TV? Right after the smacking of the
pope with a hammer? ESPN The oo is going to
be great this weekend.

(19:32):
Dan along with Tray and Raj. Today is Thursday, April
twenty fourth, twoenty twenty five. How do you know that
you had a good Easter? I'll tell you how these
Texas residents got a surprise Easter gift packages at Cocaine
washed up on their coastline. Yeah, party time. The packages
(19:56):
were reportedly tossed into the ocean by smugglers hoping to
evade CA during a drug raid. Police urged the public
to contact police immediately if they find anything unusual during
their beach visits. Meanwhile, upon hearing the news, raj Is
Alma Mater Texas State students have declared spring break too
cocaine boogaloo. All right, Yeah, there might be another possibility
(20:24):
to this story and might not have been panicked drug smugglers.
You know, maybe some countries just celebrate Easter differently. Colombian
kids might not have the Easter bunny. Maybe they have
Peter cocaine tail and maybe instead of Easter egg hunts,
maybe they have eight ball searches. Just trying to keep
an open mind.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Maybe it's the Galveston Chamber of Commerce just going, you know,
come enjoy our dirty ass water. But you know, you
might walk away with kelo.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You might. And let's be honest, Texas beaches are not
exactly up there as far as the tourism demand like
other American beaches they they I mean, have you ever
seen advertisements for the Texas coast. It's not close ups
(21:14):
of the beach like in Florida or what is it,
Orange Beach, whatever it is. In Alabama, they'll have nice
pretty photos and videos of up close of the sand
and the water. In Texas, it's usually like a drone
shot a mile high that just shows sand and water.
It's like they we got it, but it's not very pretty,
(21:37):
but it's there. That's kind of it's I don't know
what the Texas beach you know slogan is for tourism,
but it's got to be up there with the one
from the eighties. Oklahoma is okay? Texas beaches, Yes.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
We have some.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I mean, Florida has some beautiful beaches with white sand
and greenish turn turquoise ish waters. You're right, Trey, I mean,
come to the coast. You might get a kilo of
drugs to sell. You might, you might, you might, you
might make it rich.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Come for the beach, stay for the blow.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, you don't even need the metal detector. You don't
have to look like a nerd. You can actually just
comb the beach and like, look at you what I found?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Texas beaches. You have no idea what our street value is.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And since and since the beaches are not white powdery sand,
you won't be able to see the cocaine very clearly.
The problem is it's Texas and you've got to get
there before Michael Irvin and any other NFL players here
about it.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Come to the beach. It's like living living living a
scratch off, get a shark bite, might get a k.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You might get both. In the story, I saw one
of the packages that had supposedly washed up on the beach.
It's big. I mean, this is this is not like
you know, this is not like a random party in
Addison on a on a Thursday night type of thing.
(23:22):
I mean, this is It's not an eight ball No, no,
this is like it's the whole table. Yeah, it's the
whole table. And yeah, it absolutely is. That is outstanding.
This is not the first time packages of cocaine have
washed up on the shores of coastal communities. Last year,
more than one hundred pounds of narcotics were discovered along
(23:46):
Florida's shores in the wake of Hurricane Debbie. See that's
one way a hurricane is not so bad, because you
go outside and your house might be gone, but it
might have been replaced by a whole lot of cocaine.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, then you sell the cocaine and you build a
new house.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I wonder if this is has sparked a industry of
you know, especially post storm people rushing down to the
beaches to see if they can find drugs better than
a metal detector.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yes, you don't have to look like a nerd with
a metal detector. You can go down there, like what
are the Japanese sandgarden things that you're supposed to keep
on your desk. You just go down there with like
a big, big rake and you just do that and
like look here, here, there's what I found.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
And who do you sell it? Like, okay, let's see
you do pick up a kilo of cocaine?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Uh huh, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I mean you and you don't do cocaine because if
you do cocaine, you're set for a while, you're solid. Yeah,
but who do you sell it to?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Here's what you do if you love drugs, if you
love cocaine and you find a huge, huge shipment of
it that has washed up on the Texas coast, you
take it to Brenham, Texas, which is home to blue
Bell because blue Bell has the slogan we eat all
we can and we sell the rest. Use the same
(25:09):
mentality with your drugs. Okay, I snored all I could
and you can have the red all the rest also
would make a hell of an interesting flavor out of
blue Bell. I don't know what it is on the
top of my head, but it's gonna.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Be fun confetti cocaine. Un like confetti cake cocaine flavor paths,
that's always a half pine of partying.
Speaker 2 (25:43):

(26:41):
He's Trey. That is Raj. Today is Thursday, April twenty fourth,
twenty twenty five. I saw something alarming this morning and
I realized, yep, I should probably share that with the
guys and everyone here inside the treehouse. Are you guys
(27:02):
familiar with the video game slash television show The Last
of Us?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah? Yes, fact I just started watching season two last night.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
All right, good, well, uh let's see. Hang on a second,
there is I need to find my bleep here.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Here's something that should absolutely scare the out of you.
The science behind the Last of Us is real. The
wildly successful video game and hit TV show is based
on actual science and we have proof. Okay, hang on
a second. When you show you something very, very troubling.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Across something truly incredible. Tonight in front of me is
a transula that, unfortunately for it, has become infected by
forty steps.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
So Raj and you have not seen or played The
Last of Us. It's a zombie a post apocalyptic movie, right,
but it's not traditional zombies, and zombies that are made
out of fungus spores from the fungus known as cortyceps.
And in the show, it is very freaky looking because
it's basically zombies that got mushroom stems and stuff popping
(28:20):
out of them. So it's very freaky. That's a real thing,
and this is proof of it, because this is a
guy in a jungle somewhere who has found courtceps that
has taken over a tarantula and killed it. And just
like you see in the television show and in the
video game, the courtceps sprouts are popping out of it
(28:43):
to spread the deadly fungus. Sorr, here we go.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
Bumbled across something truly incredible. Tonight. In front of me
is a transula that, unfortunately for it, has become infected
by cordyceps. Now, for those of you who don't know
what Cordyceps says, this is the zombie fungus that's the
inspiration for the hit video game and TV show The
Last of Us. And well, this unfortunate transula is a
character in his own movie Here Tonight. Now he was
(29:08):
infected by this fungus and it's Gover's nervous system and
forced him to come to this location. And then as
he died, the fungus sprouted out of his body, allowing
the spores to spread to another unsuspecting transula. And this
is actually a very rare species of cordisaps. We rarely
encounter trenschills like this, and when I say species of cordyspps,
(29:29):
it's true. Each group of invertebrates has their own species
of Cordyceps which infects them. So this is truly horrific
but also incredible thing for our team to have found tonight.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
And that guy is Chris Kittolap. He's the head field
research coordinator for Wilderness International. And that's his head right
there next to that fun guy sports viewing tarantula, sucking
it all in.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
It's not gonna it won't infect him, will it?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Not yet?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
No? Oh, what's that tray said?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Not yet?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Not yet? But this means everything that happens in the
Last of Us could conceivably happen in real life. And
that means and that means if you want to survive,
you need to find yourself a hairy survivalist and take
his gay virginity. Granted I've only seen season one, but
that's a solid example on how to survive unless you
(30:28):
want to become a cannibal. But either way, you're kind
of eat some meat.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, that's a There were certain things I never needed
to see in my life.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And one of them is episode three, season one of
the Last of Us. Yeah, it's very sweet, very endearing,
lots of touching and touching.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, nick Offerman, if I had never seen I mean,
and this is not you know, there was just there's
some things I never needed to see, and Nick Offerman
kissing another guy was one of them.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
It's just you know, and that's okay. So I'm lost.
That's how you saved yourself.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's that's how. That's how two particular men in the
story at very very seemingly enjoyable lives in the in
the apocalypse one one one felt. It's pretty It's pretty
interesting when you think about it, because you have a
you have a survivalist who has his own compound and
he's by himself until a really attractive stranger falls in
(31:43):
his hole, and then.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
We're either one of them gay at first I mean,
or is it just lack of options and eventually it happens.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I actually, So we have not started watching season two yet.
We're rewatching season one and we just rewatched that episode.
So I'll be happy to feel you in Drey, it
is fresh in her mind. Yes, but uh, the guy
(32:14):
that falls in the hole, uh is is gay and
the survivalist who made the hole that hadn't been filled
as a trap, had never been with a man, but
he knew he was. And then this handsome stranger I.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Thought he was married and like he lost his wife
and kids.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Now Offferman's character lived in the house with his mama,
and then he had his survivalist basement stuff, and then
mom had passed away and he had he had never
been with a dude.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
And by the way, unless they figure out a way
to tie that back in, that episode was completely superfluous
to the series.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I look both times I've seen that episode and I've
been left wondering, was that in the the original video game?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Because what if It's like I listen, like the whole
thing is like gay dudes can't be infected by forty steps.
What if that's the if that baby.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
That's the tie in. Yeah, I think some of us
are going to have a real hard decision to make.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
But not you, Dan, I'm going to.

That is Roz Scharmer. This is the Treehouse Show. Today
is Thursday, April twenty fourth, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate
with some birthdays. But first I had to do a
(34:42):
quick Google. All I did was type we were just
talking about season one, episode three of The Last of
Us right where it's is the story of Frank and Bill.
If you've seen it, you know. If you don't know,
then you've already heard more than you may or may
not have wanted to. But it is what it is.
(35:03):
So I went to Google to find out because even
the second time watching season one, I wondered, is it
like this in the video game or was it something
completely as they would say, you know, Inductor Nation type
of stuff. So I went to Google and just typed
(35:24):
in where Frank and Bill, and then I stopped to
see what the suggestions would come up to see what
other people were searching. Those suggestions were franken Bill in
the game where Frank and Bill gay? In the Game
where Frank and Bill gay? Our Frank and Billy Ocean related?
(35:45):
How that got in there? But it is our Frank
and Bill in the Last of Us? How long we're
frankn Build together? How old we're franken Bill when they died?
How old we're frankn Bill? How long we're franken built together?
In the Last of Us? Was Frank Bill's boyfriend? So
almost all of those people were curious, although now I'm
really curious about a Billy Ocean tie in. But to
(36:07):
answer the question as to whether or not Bill and
Frank were in the game, and then if the TV
show played it up or whatever, Yes, Frank and Bill
were in the game. Bill's character is implied to have
had a romantic relationship with his partner, Frank, who lived
with him in Lincoln for some time after the outbreak.
(36:29):
In the games, they say, we recognize that Bill is gay. However,
in the show we see how he struggled with that
and overcame it, resulting in probably one of the most
important episodes of television I've ever seen. That was according
to somebody on Reddit. In the game, they say Bill
only says he was my partner, and they also mentioned
(36:50):
that Ellie finds a certain magazine in Bill's trash can
or or in a basement.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Basically, Frank Ocean is a I think he is an
R and B singer or a rapper. That is, it's
implied that he's gay. Okay, so that's where the Frank
and Billy Ocean come from.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I think Frank Ocean and Frank Ocean related to Billy Ocean.
I don't know if that needs sexuality. I think people
are probably just curious.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah, I think they just got wrapped up in this
one drag.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Yeah, I think that on collateral damage a stray.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Anyway, So now you know birthdays today inside the Treehouse,
we've got Steve Harrington on Stranger Things. The actor is
Joe Keery. He is thirty three years old today. Joe Keery,
who plays Steve Harrington on Stranger Things, thirty three today.
Another one of those great examples of old people playing
(37:53):
high school kids. Of course, at this point, as we've
talked about before, when Stranger Things Season five comes out,
pretty much all these kids that started out as kids
are all like in their twenties and thirties, some of
them maybe in their forties. How some of these kids
may may actually be retired, but they're still having to
play high school kids in the series. They're probably just
gonna end up having to dage them all, you know,
(38:15):
in post.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I'm pretty sure after the fifth season all of them
will be able to retire.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
I think you're right, Although I did see that us Gatton,
Gayton Matazarro. He's the one of the stranger things kids
that had he had to messed up teeth, had the
curly hair. Okay, he just want to play Dusty or Dustin.
He is. He's just been cast in the Animal Farm
(38:44):
that is being produced by Andy serkis. So he just
joined a superstar studded cast that's going to be an
animated film of the George Orwell famous book Animal Farm.
Andy serkis, Glenn Close, Gayton Matazzarro's in it, Tody Harrelson
is in it, and also going to be, you know,
on the producing staff. It's a hell of a cast
(39:06):
they're going to have for that. If you're a or
a Weller Animal Farm fan, just there you go. Something
I saw and I'm sharing.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
I don't know that anyone is going to enjoy a
modern Hollywood take on Animal Farm.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
What's going to be interesting is to see how many
parents unwittingly take their children, yeah to a cartoon movie
and they're going to see some things. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Well, if you want to know what the next Lightning
Rod will be of twenty twenty six, there you go.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Yeah, that'll be it for sure. Other birthdays today, Carly
Pearce is thirty five. Tyson Ritter, the lead singer of
the All American Rejects, is forty one. North Texas is owned.
Kelly Clarkson is forty three. Today voice judge, talk show
host and American Idol winner.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Sat and former Hyena's waitress.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
That's right. I always I forgot about that, was that
the Arlington Hyens or the Dallas.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Hyenas, Arlington Hyenas, And when when she got passed to
go to Hollywood whatever, they changed the story because they
didn't want people to see her like being in a
CD night, you know, a city club with you know,
comics and drugs and.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Oka all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Stuff. They gave her the they gave her the movie
theater thing that she had in high school.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
That's so stupid. Look, uh, Hyenas Arlington, It's just a
comedy club. I lived in Arlington for many, many years.
There are way way, way worse clubs than Hyenas. I
know because I've been to them, especially the ones off
of one fifty seven in that little bit of no
man's land between fort Worth and Arlington. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
She they when she left, like she didn't even take
her last paycheck and they just taped it to the wall.
So yeah, that was pretty weld good on her.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
From Berlissen to Hollywood, it's pretty sad if you think
about it. Like, the most you would think got a
comedy club. The most famous person to come through a
comedy club you would think would be a comedian, and
instead it turned out to be a pop singer who
just happened to be a server there.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Uh, let's see who else do we have? Uh, let's see.
Derek Luke is fifty one. He was the star of
Antwine Fisher. David Lindeloff is fifty two. He's the one
that created Lost. He also helped to write Star Trek,
Into Darkness, Tomorrowland and Prometheus. Rory McCann, who's the hound
on The Game of Thrones is fifty six. Cedric the

Entertainer speaking of comedians is sixty one, also sixty one.
Prolific actor Jaimin Huntshu sixty one. He's this is the
guy who's been going back and forth between DC and

goes from like DC to Marvel project back and forth.
Speaker 6 (42:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
He was He's the Wizard in Shazam which is DC,
the Fisherman King and Aquaman which is DC, Korath in
both Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel that's Marvel. Uh.
And he was also in Gladiator, Blood Diamond and one
of the bad guys in Furious seven and one of

(42:25):
lead in Amistada Not a Bad Birthday Day. Also, uh

He's Trey that ear is that there is RAJ. Today's Thursday,
(43:30):
April twenty fourth, twoenty twenty five. We have the NFL
Draft is tonight. Round one of the NFL Draft is tonight. Now, granted,
we're all a little biased here because we're long suffering
Cowboys fans, But unless there's a new blue chip owner
on the board, I don't know if I'm really looking
(43:52):
forward to the draft tonight and the Cowboys pick at.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Twelve, Yeah, they'll screw it up.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Yeah, for sure, they'll get a kicker, the one thing
we don't need, and they would spend that in the
first round.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
That actually would Yeah, that would actually be a MAVs
type blunder.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
I mean yeah, I think the most intriguing thing about
the draft will be where shit or Sanders goes. Yeah,
and other than that, it seemed to be a fairly
lackluster draft.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
That's what I thought was interesting. I was listening, uh,
listening to our Old Buddies station, Old Buddy Gavin Spittle station,
one to five through the fan and they were they
were saying something about they were saying something similar that
most of the consensus around the NFL, at least as
far as quarterbacks are concerned, is there's not really a
great one in here. But where it is is that
(44:53):
Tennessee is still going to take a quarterback at number one,
which makes me think it's like, this is this is
why the NFL is so stupid. Sometimes everyone pretty much
agrees there doesn't seem to be a phenomenal quarterback in here,
but they're still gonna take one just to see, especially
when I also especially think the NFL is kind of
stupid in this regard because they don't have the greatest
(45:17):
track record of being right when it comes to draft picks.
I mean, look at how many quarterbacks get taken in
the first round, first couple of rounds, and how many
of them turn out to be busts. The whole Ryan
Leaf versus Peyton Manning thing. You know how many draft
experts are saying, take Ryan Leaf, there's more talent, blah
blah blah. Well, now look at those two in their careers.
(45:38):
Love him or hate him. Dak Prescott is a top
flight quarterback in the NFL, and he was taken in
the fourth round. He's top, he's tops, he's top flight.
I didn't say he's top two or three, or four or.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Five, top fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Maybe definitely top fifty, easily top twenty five percent. Uh.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
Tom Brady was the sixth round pick of the New
England Patriots. He is now considered to be the greatest
quarterback in the history of NF and of the NFL,
at least arguably.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
I agreed. And you know, it's what everyone It's what
Jerry has always wanted. It's why you explained some of
the quarterback drafts and from Quincy Carter to that is,
he's always wanted to find that that jewel, that pearl
in the late rounds that he could go look at me.
(46:33):
I am so genius. I drafted this person when no
everyone else was sleeping on him.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Yeah, hang on, Quincy Carter, Dak Prescott, you think Jerry
Jones is looking for his black pearl.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
I think he's looking for just the.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
Yes, you might want to dig up the Pirates of
the Caribbean. See they have the inside that Melkiber doesn't.
