3
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.800
It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh
4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.879
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan, O'Malley along with
5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:23.920
Trey Trendholm coming up inside the Treehouse today ball kicking
6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:29.920
it really hurts. Also, me and Trey's relationship has hit
7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.200
a new level. Those two things are not related. They're
8
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.799
very much separate, but they are in the same show.
9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:42.560
But first today we start with BUCkies. BUCkies is unhinged.
10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:48.439
More specifically, the Buckies' legal department is on fire because
11
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:54.520
Texas based BUCkies is suing yet another company over copyright claims.
12
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.759
BUCkies is suing an Ohio based rival named Mickey's for
13
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:07.560
an fringing on copyright. It's also a convenience stop that's
14
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.319
a large place, lots of gas pumps, bathrooms, and a
15
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:18.480
cartoon mascot. But this cartoon mascot is a moose, so
16
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.239
it looks nothing like the BUCkies beaver. But BUCkies is
17
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:29.159
not messing around. BUCkies filed a lawsuit against Cohle's IP
18
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.840
Holdings LLC, which owns the Ohio convenience store and gas
19
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.680
station chain Mickey mart In the United States Court for
20
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.760
the Northern District of Ohio. Bucky's is suing for trademark
21
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:44.560
infringement and unfair competition. BUCkies is also trying to cancel
22
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.120
their trademark registrations. The ones who hold the Mickeys deal
23
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:54.599
are process that began in August twenty twenty five. So basically,
24
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.439
Buckis is suing yet another convenience store, this time in Ohio,
25
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.920
for a cheerful mascot that the travel Stop Giant claims
26
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.760
is too similar to its own, and they're worried about
27
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:13.360
it confusing customers. Really, really, Bucky said Mickey Martz smiling
28
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.680
Moose molgo smiling moose logo is too similar to its own,
29
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:26.080
which could confuse consumers. Come on, BUCkies, really you is
30
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.319
there a jury in the on the planet that is
31
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.639
going to think that there's any copyright on this? Like,
32
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:40.159
is Mickey's copying the model? Yeah? But I don't think
33
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.759
this falls into copyright infringement. They have a cartoon mascot,
34
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:48.560
that's that's about. It's a cartoon mascot for a a
35
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.439
convenience store with gas pumps. I don't think you can
36
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.919
sue everybody that does that. Although BUCkies may try.
37
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.599
Does any remember that there used to be a chain
38
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.280
of convenience stores in the seventies and eighties called Woodies.
39
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.400
I forgot Woodies. No, I don't remember Woodies.
40
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.000
So and I think they're predominantly in small towns. But
41
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.919
Leonard had one, and it was like a I don't
42
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.960
know if it was a beaver or a squirrel whatever.
43
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.120
But you know, one could argue that BUCkies ripped them off.
44
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.000
Maybe they did, but they just got bigger than everybody
45
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:30.879
else so fast. And now they've got all this money
46
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.080
to go around suing everyone that comes anywhere near their beaver.
47
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:39.759
Dam Well, you know, it is crazy that for years,
48
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.680
if not decades, BUCkies was just in I think it's
49
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:50.159
Centerville outside of Houston, and then and they refused to expand,
50
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.000
and then all of a sudden, you know, they are
51
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.759
now everywhere, and they seem to be the Metallica of
52
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:56.639
convenience stores.
53
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.599
That's not fair to Metallic. Metallica was right back in
54
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.120
the day, even though at the time I had pirated
55
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.280
lots of music on Napster. I actually agreed with Metallica.
56
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.319
No, but Metallica went I remember, you know, there was
57
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.400
a h Lars handled that very poorly. Well there, but
58
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.360
there were all sorts of places. There was a wheel
59
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.680
shop in California that they sued because it was called Metallica,
60
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.959
and and it had been around as long as them,
61
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.360
but they sued, and you know that they were dicky
62
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:30.519
about about their.
63
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.959
That side of it. I didn't remember the Napster thing.
64
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.120
I always thought, oh, nap Napster's all t thing.
65
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:36.519
Yeah.
66
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.959
Yeah, Metallica was actually right on that, even though college
67
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.439
they were not. You don't you don't think Metallica was
68
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.160
right saying Napster shouldn't be giving away all their music
69
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:46.600
for free.
70
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.160
Let let's know. But but but here's you want to
71
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.000
really think about something free. Yes, but then remember Napster
72
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.319
went to the ninety nine cent model, okay, which they
73
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:05.920
still objected Metallica. Do you realize how much more money
74
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.680
the music industry would have made in the last twenty
75
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.279
five years had they gone with the ninety nine cent model.
76
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.000
Oh, I have no idea, but probably a lot.
77
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:14.560
I've had billions.
78
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.199
Yeah. When I say Metallica is right on the Napster front,
79
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.319
what I mean was it Metallica took the hit because
80
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.439
for all the other artists that couldn't afford to take
81
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:31.439
on Napster for basically stealing their music and them not
82
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.759
getting paid any royalties for it. Like Metallica is the
83
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:36.639
ones that said, we're gonna take the bullet on this
84
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.439
for all these other artists, all these other bands that
85
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.399
can't afford to Taylor Swift did the same thing with
86
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.600
the streamers and everything, you know, twenty years later, fifteen
87
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.079
twenty years later, and it was at So that's when
88
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.240
I say Metallica was right about the other stuff you
89
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.240
just mentioned. Yeah, no, that's that's dicky. But yeah, in
90
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.319
the content of this story, you got BUCkies going after
91
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:07.279
yet another gas station for claiming that it's going to
92
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.920
confuse people, as if the general public can't tell the
93
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:17.399
difference between a toothy beaver and a cartoon moose. If anything,
94
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.720
especially with the moose named Mickey's mart I'm surprised Disney.
95
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.920
I feel like Disney would have more of a standing
96
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.079
to go after these guys than BUCkies would. So now
97
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.920
I'm thinking what should happen is if we want the
98
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:33.399
ultimate litigious showdown, what we need to do is we
99
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:40.279
need to give BUCkies its ultimate uh, it's ultimate foe.
100
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.319
And that is Disney needs to get into the gas
101
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.480
station game with Mickey Mouse on their logo and then
102
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:53.360
let BUCkies come knocking. That's that's two massive empires right there,
103
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.240
going toe to toe as far as like, Okay, let's
104
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.920
see who's got the bigger cartoon, Dick, and.
105
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.879
I'd be willing to bet it's BUCkies because Bucky's got
106
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:05.199
has cash. Disney does not.
107
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.639
Yeah, Disney's got it, they don't have it. They're not
108
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.279
as liquid.
109
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.519
No, since the pandemic, Disney's had issues. But yeah, no,
110
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.399
it's I mean I said they have become in the
111
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.120
last I don't think they started expanding till about ten
112
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:24.680
years ago.
113
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:26.560
I mean, I think what happened was I don't know
114
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.879
if it was private equity that got involved, or if
115
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.920
it's if BUCkies went public in some way somehow Wall
116
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:38.800
Street or some large entity got involved, because I think
117
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:39.800
that's what happened was.
118
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.199
Is they're still owned by the same family.
119
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.160
It hasn't changed owners or investors or anything. Because it
120
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.879
just seems crazy to me that all of a sudden
121
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.879
they're expanding like crazy, which, by the way, right after
122
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.519
this story he hit about Bucki's suing Mickey's in Ohio.
123
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.279
Bucky's also announced that they're going to be opening up
124
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.240
stops in Arizona and I think New Mexican. So, I mean,
125
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.160
Bucky's is going to be nationwide and at some point
126
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.319
there's going to be BUCkies in China and stuff.
127
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:10.160
Well, they you know, at first they started expanding, there
128
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.000
was just going to be Texas, but I think enough
129
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.199
people finally were like, you've got a gold mine here,
130
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.240
and I mean, it's kind of look at AGB the
131
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.839
last ten years. HGB forever would not touch the DFW
132
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.279
Metroplex basically, I mean, the some a few stores on
133
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.240
the outskirts. But and when I was in you know,
134
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.840
in the nineties, AGB was a crappy grocery store in Austin.
135
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.879
I remember first hearing people talk about the greatness of AGB,
136
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:42.320
and I remember thinking, what hgb's story have you been?
137
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.679
You've got to be confusing it with some other place,
138
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.039
because the HB of my youth was not the place
139
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.720
I wanted to go. I'd rather go to Minyards.
140
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.720
Oh yeah, no, it was. It was awful. But then
141
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.200
you fast forward and I was the same way. And
142
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.240
then I went to Houston to see my mom, you know,
143
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.519
fifteen years ago and they're like, oh, you've got to
144
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.000
go to CHIB and I'm like what And then you win.
145
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.320
I'm like, holy shit, h yeah, a good stat at all.
146
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.080
And now they don't there's no stopping.
147
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.519
Them, no, And AGB is so big and they have
148
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.320
such good stuff. It's like like kind of like Traders Joe's,
149
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.799
like like Trader Joe's. People love Trader Joe's products. People
150
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:25.679
love AGB products so much so that here on Saint John,
151
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.279
where I am right now, Uh, there's there's a lady
152
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.240
who lives here from Texas, from the Austin area. Her
153
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.919
name's Casey. She's the one that makes the down South
154
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.799
in your Mouth hot sauce, which, by the way, I
155
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.559
think you can find at Chib's stores and has on
156
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.200
the label proudly made in the USBI. Anyway, I bring
157
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.320
this up because she's from Texas. She goes home every year.
158
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.279
She goes to Texas for like a month, and she
159
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.559
brings an extra suitcase that's empty and she fills it
160
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.639
up with CHIB products to bring back to the island
161
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.840
that we can't get here. So when she comes back
162
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:04.799
from Austin on her annual trip. She's offering us packages
163
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.320
of the butter tortillas and we happily accept where, like, yes,
164
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.559
please the HB butter tortillas. My God, get them in
165
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.279
my mouth. They are so good. But yeah, as a kid,
166
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.120
HB was like the store and that my great grandmother
167
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.159
Glick went to in Pittsburgh, Texas, and I wanted nothing
168
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.720
to do with that place. It was lit. Yeah, but
169
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.000
now it's amazing.
170
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:29.960
Uh.
171
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.360
Speaking of amazing, there is a headline that I saw
172
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.480
going into last weekend that I was absolutely one hundred
173
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:42.120
percent not prepared for. And make sure I get this
174
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.840
correct here, because it uh, Like I said, it stood
175
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.720
out and it shocked me to my core. And that
176
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.360
was Amanda siphered where a prosthetic butthole for her new
177
00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:06.960
movie Testament of Anne Lee. I why why do we
178
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.759
need what? Amanda Seyfried had a cool and exciting time
179
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.360
using a prosthetic butthole filming The Testament of Ann Lee
180
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.159
the actress. The actress explained that quote this movie needed
181
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.240
to be graphic. She clarified by saying, you cannot see
182
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.080
my butthole in the scene, but I swear there is
183
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:32.320
a prosthetic butthole there. This was a part of a
184
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.679
murkin she was wearing for some graphic scene in this movie.
185
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.360
She says, I was pregnant and naked, but I wasn't
186
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.639
naked at all. At the end of the movie, I'm
187
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.639
standing in front of a burning building with just a murkin.
188
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:51.159
She said she felt so free wearing only an artificial
189
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.679
hair covering in that moment, as she portrayed real life
190
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.919
Shakers founder Ann Lee. She says at the end of
191
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.559
the interview, you can not see my butthole in the scene,
192
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:06.200
but I swear there's a prosthetic butthole there. The host
193
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.639
of the podcast she was on asked, why did they
194
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.759
have one if we don't see it? Excellent question, Scott.
195
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:22.080
She said it was a just in case precaution if
196
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.120
the camera operator gets a little too aggressive or on
197
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.480
the push in eh anyway.
198
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.360
So, I mean, is that like, you know, an ask Pasty,
199
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.799
what is it? Yeah?
200
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.600
Kind of it's like, Okay, we're going to We're gonna
201
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:43.559
make you a prosthetic butthole to go over your buttthole, Like,
202
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.279
what's wrong with her buttthole? I mean, are we really
203
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.440
at the point now where it's like, Okay, we don't
204
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.240
want it to be your butthole because maybe there's something
205
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.679
wrong with it, or we don't want you to feel exposed,
206
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.320
so we're going to put a fake butthole on you.
207
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.440
But again, she's saying in the interview that no one's
208
00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.399
supposed to see it, but just in case they catch
209
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.279
a glimpse of it, Like unless you're trying to brown
210
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.320
eye somebody in front of this building in the middle
211
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.080
of a movie, I don't think the chances of anyone
212
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:18.639
seeing her butthole are high. It's it's prosthetic butthole. That's
213
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.840
what that's that's what makes you speechless.
214
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.759
I I yeah, I I I the how? Why?
215
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:27.519
Uh?
216
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:34.360
What again? You know is this part of the murkin
217
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.639
where it really it's just like a a butthole on
218
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.159
some cloth that that covers it up or.
219
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:41.879
Yeah, I mean according to what she was saying, or
220
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.480
she's got American on and then included a prosthetic butthole,
221
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.679
So I think it's all one piece that kind of
222
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.720
wrapped around and goes up to the backside, which means
223
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:56.440
someone somewhere got paid a lot of money to hand
224
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:02.399
stitch a prosthetic butthole for Amanda siphered and I'm sure
225
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:18.919
Jim Henson is so glad he's dead. You're listening to
