Please and thank you. All right, we have waited all week to talk about the Avengers Doomsday trailer, which I bathed in all week. I am a huge movie trailer dork. I love a good movie trailer, and the older I get, I've realized why because they are full of hope and possibilities and no disappointment. It is rare I've been disappointed by a trailer.
2:12 There have been numerous trailers though that I have loved and then been completely annihilated disappointed by the movie itself. But I don't know if I can ever recall a trailer letting me down. No, that's fair. I mean there are a lot of times you look at a trailer and you go, man, I hope that's not just the best parts. Of the movie, right, Have I seen the movie now? Yeah? And sometimes if you watch enough trailers, I believe that you can tell if the trailer is long enough and has enough good stuff in it, then you probably just watched all the good parts in the movie. If there's a bunch of mystery and clue type things or possible things that could go a couple different ways, and they can be tricky, so it's hard. But yeah, sometimes you can see the movie in the trailer, Like when I went to go see The Odyssey the other day, for some reason, they included a trailer for some new Jason Statham movie. I don't need to see the movie. I saw the two and a half minute trailer. It looked great.
3:15 I enjoyed it ninety percent on Rotten Tomatoes. For me, I don't need to see the movie. Is that the new one with him? I think it's Hannah Waddington in it, Yes, because that's actually, from what I've read, is supposed to be good. It was, it was. Great, But I am not going to spend fifteen twenty thirty dollars in the movie theater for that. I'll happily watch that on my phone or tablet at the gym. I enjoy a Jason Statham movie. I think he is. He's one of my good action star. Yeah. They're light, I mean, you know what you're getting. They're not you know, they're a little campy usually, but I generally I'm good with his movie. Is it something I'm gonna go see in a theater? Probably?
4:03 Not exactly I love almost every movie I've seen Jason Statham in, and You're right, I know exactly what I'm getting when, especially if it's a Jason. If it's a movie starring Jason Statham and the title is anything reminiscent of a job of a job occupation, I will happily watch it on the elliptical at the gym, but I'm probably not gonna spend forty dollars at the movie theater for it. My biggest disappointment of a Jason Statham movie was The Beekeeper, and it wasn't because of him, and it wasn't because of the story. It was fucking Jeremy Irons. That was one of the worst performances. He was so out of place in that movie.
4:46 Did he just mail it in or something? Or was he? Was he too over the top? Have you not seen it? I have not seen that one yet. It's yeah, he's too over the time, He's he is too qualified to be the Jason statem. I would agree with that. There's some there's some actors you're just like, bro, No, come on now. His his portrayal of the evil the kind of because he wasn't the main evil person. He was an accessory kind of but it it was almost Austin Powers. Ish oh man, yeah, And if it had been Austin Powers, you'd have been like, oh yeah, nice, I love that.
5:28 You know, you can lampoon yourself kind of a deal. But yeah, it's really disappointing when you see people in a movie and you're like, oh, look, he's in this movie, and then you see the movie and go like, oh, sir, Anthony Hopkins, why'd you take this? Now? I forget? Did you see the New Naked Gun? I have not seen that yet. Thank you for reminding me, because I that now that's a trailer where I said all the good parts of that movie are in that trailer, and from everything I read, I was one hundred percent correct. Oh, so you haven't seen it yet either. I have no desire to see it, Okay, I need to see I just I feel the need to see it because it's seth MacFarland, Liam Neeson and so I am a curious soul and I want to see it, all right. So, speaking of curious souls and movie trailers, the Avengers Doomsday trailer dropped earlier this week, and in one day it hit five hundred three million views, five hundred three million views in one day for the Avengers Doomsday trailer, which is actually second. It's the second biggest launch in history after Spider Man Brand New Day, So Marvel's about to have a banner here. I think we all knew that already, but now we're getting concrete evidence. Now Again, that was just a first day before we hit record on this episode.
6:49 I tried looking to see how many views the Avengers Doomsday trailer had, and I can't count it because there's so many different accounts that have them. One might have fifty million views, another one might have twenty minutes, So I think they're just kind of adding them all up. Obviously, it's huge, and this is one of those trailers, and Marvel's really good about this. Still don't know a whole lot about the film, but people are dissecting it. They're breaking it down. They are looking at this damn it's two and a half minutes, and they are watching it tenth of a second by tenth of a second. They're watching it frame by frame looking for clues and information. I'm just going to assume we've all seen it at least once this week.
7:33 I just watched it before I got on here because it popped up on my feet again. I was like, why the hell not? So how many times have you seen it this week? Jerry? There's not enough fingers and toes to count it. Okay, Trey, what about you? Four or five times? Surprisingly, I'm right there with you. I will say. One of my favorite jokes that came out of the first day of trailer viewing Avengers Doomsday is the when someone pointed out and made the joke when Thor holds out the hammer to see if Steve Rodgers is actually Steve Rodgers. They said, you know, the MCU is really grounded when Thor is demanding two factor authentication. So I know it's a trailer. And again they're all about hope and it may not ever stick the landing, But what did you think of the trailer? Jerry? Since we saved this topic just to make sure you were in here, you may be getting oh full Chubb full Chubb. Absolutely, were you wielding your tiny meal near and helping Captain America would grab it. He's aged very well, man.
8:52 I've been watching all the little released things that they've been doing, and all of the pirated footage from all the other things and just putting all that together, and then you see this trailer and it's like, you know, it's like you were saying earlier, you hope they haven't screwed it up, and it really doesn't look like they have. But also I hope it's not just because of the density of everything that's going on. You know, like when you actually sit down and watch it all together, you know, is the story going to be cohesive of all that because you've got so many of the original folks, you've got all the new guys that are coming in, there's so much going on. Is there going to be too much going on? You know? Those are really the only questions I have. They have no reason why they should f this thing up, which.
9:40 Gives me the reason to believe that it's really possible that they will. However, however, I feel like I hope and I do feel like they have watched and they have learned, and they have taken all the criticism and feedback that they've received from everybody over the last few years, and they've shown the ability to pivot. That's why we don't have the Kang situation. Because of the ant Man movie in Quantumnia that flopped hard. Plus Jonathan Major's who had his own issues, well it but it was but trust me, had had had that ant Man movie where he was introduced as the big villain landed and done really well, I think Marvel might have absorbed that or at least strongly considered it. But it didn't. So I think they were like, you know what, let's move away from this.
10:35 But see, they didn't have to do that. That's the whole thing about the multiverse, is that. I mean, yes, I understand he's a exus beings, and the whole thing about if you look the same in all of the all of the various uh universes. You know, that's that's the nexus being thing. But just find somebody that kind of looks like him, have some other folks, you can have anybody play Kang and I that too. And I think that's I think because because of the Jonathan Majors thing, they could have recast that and just like they did with you know, with Roady and Iron Man to Iron Man two and you you know, you go from Terrence Howard to Don Cheatle. You know, Marvel's not above switching out a character here, and they could have done that with Jonathan Major's and I think they might have if that ant Man movie had been better received, but it wasn't, so that they pivoted and said we're going to go to this Doomsday thing, and I think ultimately it worked out because they're they're generating way more buzz and interest with the Doomsday thing than they would have with the King situation.
11:34 You're I disagree with your your premise there Doomsday was gonna go forward whether or not ant Man was a success or flopped. I mean that was that was I mean, this has this is part of their timeline that was released years and years ago. But part of that timeline that was released involved the King, like the Avengers, the King Dynasty, like there was a whole Avengers movie and a couple of projects that scrapped because the King situation and the Jonathan Majors thing and the ant Man movie flopping. Because those things happened, they basically pulled those out and moved Avengers, Doomsday and Secret Wars up. This This the King timeline was going to be the multiversal part of the timeline was going to be necessary to get Doctor Doom in here anyway, So because of that they could cut it off and stitch it together and it's not such a big deal and.
12:31 To sort of fix that. That's the other reason why they're re releasing Avengers endgame with a little bit of additional footage to then make it to where you can go from in game to Doomsday and it'll it'll all make sense. They're re releasing in game as a cash. Grab and additional footage. Oh no, it's absolutely a cash grab. There's no doubt about. That reason of additional footage. Yeah, but the three and a half hour movie, but it'll be like one more cut seat. They did a lot of things, and I think I'm trying to think. I think ant Man movie was probably the biggest flop since in.
13:13 Uh since in game. Maybe I don't. I haven't seen all the box office. Marvel or what missus Marvel or whatever the hell that was the Marvels, the Marvels. That was probably the Marvels. That was disappointing to me. There was a trifecta post end game of three movie flops. I didn't see the box office numbers on this, but for me personally, the three flops were ant Man in Quantumnia, the Marvels, and got just my brain just took a huge cyclist or a dump m M. I'll think of it. The second, the one where the Earth is an egg.
13:57 Fantastic four would be my. See. And this is part of the problem, is there's you could you can just rattle off a handful of the problem. I remember Love and Thunder thor Love and Thunder. Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. To me, That to me was one of the biggest disappointments. I thought they I thought they they let Taika White TD have too much freedom. Yes, there were moments I thought were really good and then some stuff I thought was really like over the top silly. Of all the projects, that was the one I was probably most looking forward to. Therefore most disappointed. The Thor movies to me have been hit or miss, and Love and Thunder fell right into that.
14:41 I like. I mean it was it was campy, but I thought it was funny. Uh uh fat uh fat thor. No fat Russell uh who played sus Russell Crow Russell Crow? Yeah, yeah, that made me laugh. Oh yeah, there's funny stuff in there, don't get me wrong, But I yeah, I. Think I don't think they were ever going to I mean, the Spider Man movie. We knew those have for the most part, always been solid. I don't think they were. I don't think they are going to stick the Avengers name on anything that's going to be a flop, that that's that's their cash cow.
15:23 Mm hmm. And I've also read where they have gone ahead and scrapped any future Fantastic Four movies, and I'm thrilled. With that because I thought it just sucked. I I I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it for a movie at the theater, but it didn't it didn't wow me. I don't know how they have just flubbed that portion of Marble's the Fantastic Four movies, although I thought the first one was fine, but in general. Which first one, like like when Chris Evans was Torch and you have Jessica al But yeah, I thought that was fine too. The weird thing is I never felt a huge pull towards the Fantastic Four characters. I mean, I like the thing Torch was cool because he could fly around, he's on fire, But I was never like, Woo the Fantastic Four, Yeah, that was a cartoon.
16:13 I kind of grew up with. Yeah, of all the Marvel stuff, that that was in my wheelhouse, and they just they have flubbed that that part of the franchise over and over and over again. Which is is kind of mind boggling when you think about it, because it's one of the greatest villains in comics book lore. I don't care whether you're DC, whether you're Marvel or Graphic Novel World off on some other thing. Doom is one of the ultimate batties that you know humans have created with, you know, with just Fantasy. I thought you were talking about the other big bad that they introduced in the his Well, that's the Herald, the big planet eater go his name just leaped out of my ear. Oh Colossus or whatever, or the big dude that they fought in the movie. Yes, the big dude looks.
17:12 I just had it. And then I've seen a lot of things recently. I just I saw The Odyssey this week, so I got a lot of Greek names in my head going as well. I can't keep I can't keep track of all the other names, but a feather. In that because I'm curious about what your thoughts are in that one. So anyway, Avengers dooms Day. It looks really good. It's been interesting with some of the dissecting people have done. So the theory is, the fan theory is that doctor Doom may not necessarily present himself as a villain in this film. So I think there's going to be like two of them, right, He's going to come in saying, look, there's a big, bad situation happening. We have to figure out a way to fix it. And that's supposedly three different universes heading for an incursion and they're all going to collide. So you have the Uni verse that are Fantastic Four people are from allegedly, well, I mean we saw that at the end of Thunderbolts. And then you have our main timeline that we're all used to. That's the Earth six one six, So that's our universe, Fantastic four, the Avenger Universe, Yeah, the Avenger Universe is six one six, and then the X Men universe is the third. And that's how we get all these things together. And that's okay.
18:26 And and and that's I've read the same thing where they say they postulate that Doom the friends all of them, and that he's actually trying to get him to destroy their universes. But he's trying to get him to work together, but then they there and puts them against each other fighting blah blah blah. Right battle World. Yeah, yeah, and you mentioned the Battle World thing. I'm unfamiliar with it. I've heard it kicked around online before, because again, I'm not the comic book guy. I'm the movie guy, Jerry, You're all things Marvel and Trays like me is more of the you know, the TV shows and the movies and stuff. So I've I've heard that name thrown around at a lot of the clues people that have broken down the trailer and said, oh, this is just a Battle World thingut that I's like, okay, cool.
19:13 I just I just want it to be good. I find the nerddom of the breaking down the trailer has been absolutely just fantastic to watch because I mean, I admire the people that really know the comic books. X Men were really the only comic book I even was vaguely familiar with it in this world. But you know, like I mean, I think I saw one where they said, oh, no, that's not Steve Rogers, that's the Hydra Steve Rogers. That's not Yeah, that's not Captain America. It's Captain Hydra. Yeah, no, he's worthy, so can't be that, that's right. And then everyone is saying that there's someone behind Steve Rodgers and that's got to be Loki. And that's why Thor looks so stunned. Is it's his brother and his friend that he thought he lost both.
20:01 Yeah, that's the other thing too. It's like, man, Tom Hittleston has got to be thinking. He's like, how many times am I going to play the same character? This is amazing. He's got like three different versions of Loki he has to play. Mm hmmmm. Like you talk about the timeline branches, and there's really at one point, there's like three Lokis that he's playing from three different timelines. He played probably half a dozen in the series alone. I'm sure he's he's contemplating this all the way to the bank. Exactly, Yeah, exactly, he's not. He's not driving. He has someone doing that.
20:42 And every time. I believe it is no coincidence that that Loki's. Color is green, green, and gold. Baby, it is the color of Monney. Uh So, Yeah, the Avengers Doomsday trailer drops and then you know half the world stopped, uh Or a day tough days. Are y'all both on and everything I've read, and Jerry, you'd be the person to really know this. Do we all believe that the timeline incursion it goes back to Steve Rodgers staying in that one timeline and that that's where all the stems from. No, this stems from a combination of when the Avengers went back in time to get the Infinity Stones, brought them forward after they had already been defeated by the Notes, and then the other one is the reason the reason why it was so thin in Spider Man.
21:47 In the last Spider Man movie was because of that, and. That's what actually cracked the shell and started the whole thing. So it's a combination of those two things. So you don't think it could be Steve Rodgers staying in that one timeline that he's didn't have. I mean, it didn't help, but I don't think it's I don't believe was the cause of it. If that was the only thing that had happened, and people. Only I've just read that that's one of the main things that has caused the timelines. To There's really no one main thing. It's it's just a combination of all of it. It's basically, you know, we're all just getting schooled in physics where it's like, Okay, this is the reason why you're not supposed to mess with time and space and stuff.
22:29 Because what was it They even said in Avengers endgame, right before Thanos shows up, It's like, well, when you mess with time, time messes back. And that's what's happening. You know. They they undid the blip by going back and getting the stones, and there are consequences to it, and the other decisions underneath that, like Steve staying with Peggy in the past and whatever else that happened, and Spider Man, you know, telling doctor Strange, Hey make everyone forget about me, and so those things I think I'll add together and that gets us to where we are. And then and then through all of that, we get Robert Downey Junior back in there, not as Iron Man but instead as Victor von Doom.
23:11 Yes, I think Dan and I had this conversation off the air, But what was your your thoughts on on Downey's accent. In the trailer? Holy crap, that was Downy doing the voiceover. We think, so, yes, do I need to play a portion of it. Uh, that's you know what. That accent was atrocious. Whoever the hell it. Was, thank you? Really that was man. That was worse than when Scarlett Johansson started with her Russian accent and had to move out of it. Oh, that was far worse than that. Well okay, now, well we're talking about Marvel accents here. Okay, we could do a quick ranking our DJ's Victor von Doom is a Scarlett Johansson's Russian accent is b C is Elizabeth Olsen's accent as whitch And I'm I'm not gonna pick on her brother. That the guy that played her brother, I'm brain fighting on his name. The guy that's married to the fifty Aaron Taylor Johnson. I'm not gonna pick on Aaron Taylor Johnson's be goes. That dude died in one movie, so whatever. But then she changed her accent within the next movie and a half, it was she was you know, Norman.
24:33 That was all at least explainable because she had gone from was it Romania and then she's now hanging out with English people. So you don't lose your accent in a film and a half. Maybe she studied it, you know, trying to. Finish time in between there. Okay, so if you have to rank the three accents, RDJ as Victor von Doom, Scarlett Johansson is Russian, or Elizabeth Olsen's accent from a of old tron. Which was the best, which was the worst, from worst to best a CB all right, so mhm Robert Downey Jr. Bad, Scarlett Johansson least bad, and in the middle of Elizabeth Olson.
25:16 I told you I thought, uh, Robert Downer Jr's accent in the if that is him and the trailer that it sounds like the the evil guy from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Boris. Yeah, he is. All right, we got I have to I have to have to compare this here let me see, all right, here's the trailer. Your feeling, Yeah, listen to the voice. Something we may not be able to for this day is done. I should be fast with an about decision.
26:09 See there was some Scottish ship there broke. No, I'm sorry we missed out one of the horror really bad accents. And this is what it reminds me of, is uh iron Man two? Uh what's his name's accent? That's that is the level. Of that accent, one of give me my birth is better give me that million dollars. I could have done that terrible accent to me, Robert If this is Robert Downey Jr. And I think it is, it's the lack of an accent that he's doing. It sounds to me like he listened to Arnold Schwarzenegger hypnosis tapes.
26:51 It's not even gee, no, it really does. It really sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger talking. It just it moves in and out to like he said a word in there that utterly switched over to brogue, Like you could isolate those two words and you think you're listening to a Scotsman. And then just it's so inconsistent. It sounds it sounds like it's hard. I am hoping that he is masking his true voice because they'll realize that it's Tony Stark. That that's my hope. I pray that this is not what we have to listen to for the entire Doomsday movie.
27:32 I think I want now I wanted to be. When he starts talking in the dooms like he's he comes out, he reveals himself. It's the first time we see Victor von Doom. I want him to sound like Nathan Lane at a cross at a drag brunch. That would that would be the shock of the century.

Usually this is the part where we would do birthdays. I'll kind of put that on the shelf for a moment because we're kind of caught up in Avengers Doomsday stuff, and Trey, you asked a really good question during that break, which.
31:44 What are the what is the what are the essential viewing? What are the essential movies you need to watch to get ready for doomsday? Obviously endgame right. If it were me, I would do a little mini marathon watch all of the Avenger movies, the first four Loki seasons one and two. Uh, Doctor Strange, the Multiverse of Madness, Fantastic four, so you know who they are. That was another stinker, Yeah, that one. That one was man oh Multiverse of Madness. Yeah yeah, yeah, that that was one of those. It had some really great moments, especially when they go to the other universe and you've got John Krazinski as you know Stretch from Fantastic Four. You get that, Yeah, and then you get that flip around stuff and then she comes and kills her.
32:43 That whole scene was phenomenal, but the whole movie felt rushed. Also, sorry, watch uh Wolverine and Deadpool and uh the original X Men series just so you understand who you're looking at im. You can watch Days of Future Past too. I don't know if any of them are actually going to be involved in it. I think just the original X Men cast, which. One is the horrible one of the X Men? Oh, lot of the origin movies. What's the one where where it's like a pyramid, It's it's just it's awful. The rest of them, I like that. There's one that is just awful. I think it was the last one they did.
33:29 Oh you're talking about Apocalypse X Men. Yes, Oh that was just atrocious. Yeah. I think that was one where Olivia Munn, who was in that Jerry what was her character's name by Stake? No, no, no, not mistique. Olivia Munn was the one that had the double katana swords and the thigh highs. Oh oh yes me anyway, see what I mean, there's so many character names. She even when it came out and said that Brian and Singer, the director of X Men Apocalypse. She came out and said later on she was like, that dude totally mailed it in. She was like, he was like he was barely paying attention on set and he was just silo, siloc thank you. Okay. I did a quick look as well.
34:15 I saw someone post I think it was on threads. You know, hey, what should I watch in preparation for Doomsday? And a comic book? Nerd got in the comments and was actually very nice about it, which everyone said, thank you for not being a comic birden a comic book Meani and being nice about it and just being like, yeah, here's your explanation, here's what you need to know. They said the same thing you did. Jerry Loki seasons one and two, which honestly, that was one of those things. When season one came out, I watched it as it came out. My expectations were pretty low, but they didn't have anything else out at the time. I was going I needed something to watch at the gym. I loved those.
34:57 I loved those. I love that show. Those two seasons of Loki I thought were so great. I'll forever love the day when we got Alligator Loki. That was what I was just like, Oh so yeah, Loki's Loki wanted to fantastic fo you kind of have to know for that universe. The Doctor Strange thing, Dead Pull and Wolverine was also mentioned in one of the lists that I saw just now, and what the guy said on Threads Infinity War if you need a refresher, and then obviously the new in game. Most of that stuff should get you out now. Also, you can go and watch Shang Chi because Shang Che's a character in this like Taylor in the In the trailer, he's fighting Gambit, and Gambit was introduced through Dead Pull and Wolverine.
35:46 And I'm sure the the new No Way Home Spider Man movie is going to be required as well. Yeah, so it was interesting watching this trailer for Doomsday and seeing the people that were in it. But what's just as interesting are the people you don't see in it, Like where is Spider Man in this one? What about you know? Is you know, is Frank Castle's Punisher going to be in there at all? Even though it doesn't seem like he would because it'd be like I think he'd be like just blinked out of existence. Uh, where's the Hult, Where's the Hulk? He's in He's in the New Spider Man movie, but we don't see him in this trailer. So there's lots of characters that you don't see in the Doomsday trailer. But that doesn't mean na ain't in it.
36:28 Ruffalo's name was on one of the chairs and that long thing there, so he's he's got to be in it somewhere. Yeah. I mean, at this point, I think we all you know, like you know how you play six degrees at Kevin Bacon with movies and actors. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has made that game so easy. Well, they're also very good at they think you think they're giving you a lot, but they always keep something hidden, and you know there'll be another trailer that they'll you know, let out a little bit more. And I would be willing to bet there's going to be some surprise appearances that you didn't expect. H Scarlett, which being one of them. I'll be very curious if they they said they weren't going to resurrect her, but then I have read that yeah they will.
37:13 I think they will. Yeah, And that's you bring that up. Her along with doctor Strange. I don't remember seeing either of them in the trailer unless they were somehow fuzzy in a background or something. So yeah, I mean, look, they called it the first trailer, and in essence, this to me was just a it's a teaser trailer. Really. I mean there's there's clues and stuff in there, but I mean it's it's sort of like a setup trailer for another trailer that you know is going to come. Right. Ah, Sure, am excited if I may quote, if I may quote one of my favorite movie characters of all time, cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation. I'm excited about it too, Clark.
37:53 Uh, one quick little thing before we move on that I would like to point out. Please, Uh you can play six degrees from Jerry Caldwell with the Marvel Universe. Okay, tell us how in Quantum Mania there was a character named Klaus. He was the freedom Fighter. He was played by a gentleman named William Jackson Harper. William Jackson Harper used to work at the Half Priced Books on Northwest Highway with one Jerry Caldwell. I have pictures of him in my backyard of my thirtieth birthday.
38:37 That has got to be the least cool game of six degrees of separation I have ever experienced. He used to take a lot more steps to get me there, but I've got that one, especially with you flipping your hair, knowing that a bridge from the Treehouse Show into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the half priced books on Northwest Highway and a flip of your golden locks makes me want to leave. I prefer my version of events, which would go like this. We inside the Treehouse are good friends with Tone Bell, who is an actual actor in Hollywood who's been in other projects with a number of these other characters, and these other actors, one of which is Jessica Alba, who was the original Sioux Storm in the MCU. And if I had more time to think about it, I'm sure I could pick through a number of other people he has worked with to get us into the MCU in a much.
39:40 Cooler and you have to Jessica Albo, Chris Evans, and then Darry right there. But I'm willing to bet because he's done enough with so many people. If I was to go through sort of his filmography, I bet I could find someone he's been in something with that is probably also in the MCU. Okay, no offense, Jerry, I love half price books. No you, Jerry, that full offense. It is cool though that that is your journey to the MCU. I I hope someday that you get to play some sort of like a stunt double for Thor's third cousin Sign me Up, I'm here, or maybe like the little Jello guy from Quantumnia, which I actually thought.
40:32 I didn't hate that movie. Just take Auto Mania, yeah, which the ant Man or. Yeah, the ant Man question. I didn't hate it. It was it was about what I expected. Mm hmmm, yeah exactly. And there was also there's one thing we all have to give them, got them a little slack is you had COVID in between all of that, which it screwed up production on everything and something's got rushed and weren't the quality you would have expected. Secret Wars cough. My brain doesn't have room to start analyzing anything with that. All right. Today is Thursday, July twenty third, twenty twenty six. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays, starting with Daniel Radcliffe, the star of his own movie franchise, Universe Forever known as Harry Potter. He is thirty seven today, So this is your moment of the week to feel really effing old. Harry Potter is thirty seven today, which, by the way, he was a highlight to me in I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was with Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock where she's like an author. They have to go and do some adventure thing and Daniel Radcliffe plays the bad guy. It was.
42:02 He was really good in that. It's fun. Woody Harrelson is sixty five today. Woody from Cheers is sixty five. Going back as I've done and rewatching Cheers. Seeing all the talented cast members on that show, I never would have thought that Woody would have been one of the breakout stars from it. It just seemed like such a one note, dumb character from Indiana. But by god, he's the one that arguably blew up the most. I was about to say, I don't think you can argue that he was the biggest star come out of that. I mean for a very short period of time. You know, Kirsty Ally was pretty big for a few minutes.
42:45 With not with with with Look who's talking one and two. I mean ted Danson never. I mean, it took him years to have something else he had. He had three men and a baby, and that's. Really but I think that was wasn't that during Cheers? I think that was during Cheers? Yeah, So you're right. Actually, of all those talented people on that cast, I think it really was Woody Harrelson's one that came out most ahead. Ted Danson also was in The Good Place. Oh, which is a fantastic show. Starring next to William Jackson herper as cheaty. Uh, who you worked with at Half Price Books? And I know, I take it back that is now my favorite connection for for the Treehouse to Hollywood is through you, Jerry and Half Price Books.
43:42 And after The Good Place, he's done another series with Mike Sure on Netflix and I'm drawing a blank on the name, but it's also it's pretty good. Uh. And he was on CSI for a while. Oh, that's right, Yeah, but he had that gap in there, you right. I mean as far as everyone, yeah, but as far as everyone, it really was what Woody Harrelson is the one that's had the biggest career out of every one coming out of the regular cast on Cheers, so happy birthday to him. This is a big birthday. You talk about pop culture nineties references, there are not big There are not many bigger names than Monica Lewinsky. And she is fifty three today. I mean that's a name where you say it, you know exactly what happened, you know what time, you kind of know where you were when all that was going down. And yeah, she's fifty three today. Blue dress and that blue dress, and.
44:37 What I marvel about is and you know, at the time that was such a big deal. And now looking back, you're like, Man, wouldn't that be nice if that was our only problem? Yes, it really would be. I mean that's all those days. That's how good we had it in the nineties. Uh And and honestly, that's also how good we had it on Saturday Night Live when they were making fun of it, because that's because when they started making fun of the whole Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton White House situation, that's what gave us John Goodman as Linda Trip. Oh yeah, I remember that. Oh that was so good talking about Well do you have any evidence of this mistrip? I have address covered in evidence. I'm sorry, just whenever that's this is what happens, you know, in my brain, you get that association. And when I think of Monica Lewinsky, I think of Saturday Night Live, and I think of John Goodman as Linda Tripp.
45:42 And one of the all time great photos, great presidential photos is the Clinton's getting out of Marine one and at Hillary and Chelsea and the dog and Bill Clinton is behind them because no. One will talk to him, even the dog. And the dog is like screwed. But that was an uncomfortable chopper, right, Oh god? All right? Other birthdays today. Catherine Hahn is fifty three. She is an Emmy nominated actress known for Wan Division, which, by the way, we're talking a lot about Marvel stuff on here, and I think it's worthy. She was also in Agatha All Along. Her character was so good. She did such a great job in wand Division that they're like, we need to spin off. I have not yet seen Agatha All Along, but I want to. It's good, Jerry, is it really good? Okay, it.
46:35 Does a big pivot in the middle of the season and they did it really well. It's it's it's pretty good. Catherine Han, I think is one of my I hadn't really thought about it till right now. I think she's one of my underrated best actresses. She can do damn near anything. Yeah. Yeah, in Bad Moms one and two. I think she's hysterical. She was great in WandaVision and Wanda Vision was one of the sort of those off projects that Marvel did. I have not gone back to rewatch it, but as I was watching it and thinking back on it, I actually kind of loved it. I think it was so it was such a different, smart, cool thing, like dealing with her grief and she's going through these different eras as if they're a television show. That was that to me was a fun swing. That was Marvel taking a chance.
47:26 And you know, I'm sure not everyone loved it, but I think it landed too. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I thought it got a little campy towards the end, but all in all, yeah, I thought it was good and I'd watch it again. If you said, hey, there's some nuggets in there you really have to see for doomsday, Yeah, I get back and watch it. Because where is he? Where is White Vision? That's that's the MC name for him. It was just Vision. Well, at the end of Wanda Vision, it's actually it's it's it's al By no Vision a Vision. Is he going to be pink Eye Vision? That would be creepy.
48:17 Uh yeah, that. But the other part of WandaVision that was cool was, uh you get her brother that had died reintroduced to her in that show, right, But it wasn't the Aaron Taylor Johnson speedster that was her brother from Ultron, but it was that it was the X Men Days of Future Past, uh Speedster Evan Peters as her brother. So that was when I think we had our first uh x Men and scissoring happening, you. Know, And they've never they have not confirmed that, but they also have not denied it either.
48:58 So that's why Philip Seymour Hoffman would have been fifty nine today. That is the guy that is That is again you talk about phenomenal actors. I loved him. I thought he was so good. One of my favorite roles of his, and I think it might have been one of his first film roles, was as Dusty in the first Twister movie. Yes Love That Slash is sixty one today, guitarist from g. It's one of the few times, I'll say this, he's only sixty one. I had the same thought. Brother, I'm right there with you. I thought he was way older. Yeah, I think that's about it.
49:42 Karl Malone sixty three, the Mailman, one of the guys that really, really, really He and John Stockton. You talk about playing in the wrong era. Those two guys. Those Utah Jazz teams deserved a title, but they just couldn't get it there. And but I mean, you know, the Bulls and Michael Jordan were in their way for some of that, so mm hm. And the Pistons, Yeah, that's. And the Pistons. Yeah, And ultimately they didn't win, not because they weren't great, they were just out gunned. I mean, the Utah Jazz had Karl Malone and John Stockton, the Bulls had Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and like four other people, and then the Pistons were just stacked top to bottom.
50:28 Did Malone play for the Knicks before or after he was in. I honestly don't recall him playing for another I thought he played for the Knicks. It doesn't matter, but yeah, it's stop. I mean, they both were great players, but just you happen to run across a couple of players that were way better. That's pretty much it. And oh but this this one's an interesting just just because we mentioned it somewhat earlier. With old old timey things. This is a birthday deep cut. Julius Caesar would have been two twenty six today, but he got stabbed a hell of a lot of times at work one day.

You said you saw the Odyssey. Yes, thoughts, many, many, many, many thoughts. I have heard. What I have read and I have from people is visually stunning epic, Yes, but story was crappy. It's homer. A lot of people question whether Christopher Nolan even read it.
52:20 So so here was my takeaway, and this and this was this was my wife's take as well. It was interesting because usually the way what happens is we'll go see a movie, especially if it's a big movie. We'll go see a movie, we leave the theater, go to the bathroom, and then maybe go somewhere and get a drink or a snack, and then we'll talk about what we saw. If it was a big movie, a big enough movie to do it. This is one of those movies where we did that. My wife and I had the same take, which was really really good, but it didn't wow us. Now, many people that have seen The Odyssey left the theater wowed. I have seen comments and reviews. I've I've heard some people say, oh my god, that's the best movie I've ever seen before. So we saw it on Sunday afternoon, and before we went into the theater. On Rotten Tomatoes it was ninety five and ninety seven. I don't know if I've ever seen a movie with those high numbers after it's been released. So I think to a certain degree, we may have had some really high expectations based on a lot of the stuff we saw before seeing the movie, that is a possibility.
53:30 That being said, it is definitely a visually stunning movie. It hold like I think a lot of times in Hollywood, the word epic gets thrown around too much. This is a Hollywood epic. But I still left a little underwhelmed. It was great and this is an interesting so my separate from my wife, my overall takeaway was it is a phenomenal film, but I was a little underwhelmed, if that makes sense, because I can see a move and be like, yeah, I can see why this is magnificent.
54:14 But there were a few things where I was like, why where do you think it deflated? Where? So a couple things. I still don't know why it is telemicus Tom Holland's character, Why is he calling the dad he's never met dad? It just it sticks out like a weird hangnail. Why is he calling his mom mom? Why is he calling his dad dad? Like and to me, in a formal type of time, things are long ago, it would have sounded more natural if he's like, I don't know my father, as opposed to I don't know my dad. That just seems weird to me. But I think one of the biggest things was there's not a lot of logic in the film, and it's and some of this is going to go back to home or the source material. So after they leave Troy and they get on their ships to go home, instead of going home the known way, they're like, you know what, let's go this other direction away from everybody else. We'll just pop on the land and provision as we go. And then after the second time you do that where you pop on the land and some really bad shit happened, maybe stop doing that, right, keep doing it. It's it's it's I think part of it is it's like it's it's sort of a story of a number of follies in a row where I'm just kind of like, oh, come on now. So that's where I didn't love it. Well.
55:45 One of the things, i mean, one person said it and it sounded right on from all the other reviews I've read is Christopher Nolan said it's an epic visually visual movie, but he was so well, so in love with that part of it that he did not focus as much on script and continuity as he could have. And there are some gaps in there that make it not not a great movie overall, is what. Okay, Jerry, Jerry, have you seen it? I have not. Yeah, So where we are right now, we're in Brighton, Michigan. The closest Imax theater is in an arbor that's like thirty forty minutes away, so we just elected to see it on a normal theater. I mean, it's still great sound and stuff, but so we didn't see the Imax version.
56:37 So if you've seen a lot of the Odyssey content online like we have, you can see a very clear visual difference in the Imax version versus regular thirty five millimeter. And because we've done we've ingested a lot of this Odyssey content. This is the first movie that's ever been shot and from beginning to end and its entirety on Imax film. Uh, And that's a huge that's a huge process and it's really interesting how they did that. And Trey kind of like what you were saying, maybe maybe there was some on Christopher Nolan's part, so obsessed with the mechanics and the visuals of the film that some of the story and the dialogue to me felt a little Yeah. So yeah, I mean, it's absolutely worth it to go see it though, and it's I mean, I think it made all of its money back in one weekend.
57:36 So and and and the other thing I'll throw in is this, there's a reason why people don't typically do the Odyssey because it's so long, there's so much in it. The fact that he was able to do it in just under three hours is somewhat of an accomplishment. It's considered it, right. Yeah, and it's also part two. Yeah. And that's the other thing too, because it didn't even include the entirety of the Trojan War because you get all these flashbacks and things that they're doing in the film. So technically this film takes place over a twenty year period, but I recommend going see it absolutely. All Right, let's jump into some birthdays, or not birthdays. You've already done plenty of birthdays. Let's jump into some stories that we did not get to this week. So we've had a jam packed treehouse this week as far as all sorts of things to talk about and laugh about. There have been a handful of news stories though we have not had a chance to play with yet. So we're going to do that right now, starting with the turf War in New Jersey. Oh dear God, New Jersey lawmakers want to impose a restraining order on FIFA for selling its World Cup grass. FIFA is an organization that is never going to miss an opportunity to make a few bucks, and that includes.
59:04 So they don't make just a few bucks, they don't miss an opportunity to make millions. This is true and almost a literal last ditch effort to make even more money on the World Cup, FIFA has been cutting sections of the turf in New Jersey where the where the final match was played and selling them online for four hundred and fifty bucks a pop. And because of that, the state of New Jersey is saying, ah, that's our grass, and FIFA is saying, no, it's our grass. You better read the contract. I promise you it's FIFA's grass much much like it. You know.
59:47 It's like when they covered up the names of stadiums when AT and T Stadium became Dallas Stadium. There are some people who are like, well, how does a because this was already you know, written in If AT and T wanted to, they could have been a sponsor if they wanted to pay the billions or hundreds of millions of dollars, but they didn't. So yep, and Trey, You're right, I believe there is. There is kind of a smaller f in FIFA that stands for fine print. Oh, I mean said FIFA is known as the most corrupt organization. Yes there is, and. I mean look at the last World Cup was in Qatar. They literally lost over five there were five thousand I'm talking about because current slavery does still exist.
1:00:32 And Qatar is a great example of it. There was over five thousand people died and just building the facilities for that last one. But hats off to America though, record setting World Cup and they most people really believe that for the first time ever, we will host it again in twenty thirty eight, which no country has ever done because it was such a success. Yeah really in this time. Good job everybody, Fuck Mexico and Canada. Keep it all in the United States because that's the thing people don't realize is, you know, all these other places have to build stadiums. The country is already big enough. Man, Well, well we know, but you think we didn't use a twentieth of the stadiums that you could possibly use.
1:01:13 That's what I'm saying our country is already so big we didn't need to go into the others. Texas alone pretty much has the enough stadiums to do the World Cup. You know, that's a great idea. I would love to see Spain and Senegal play a match at Permian Stadium. But you have you're okay, Royal Memorial Stadium, you have Kyle Field, you have Houston. Hell, you have the Wake of the Baylor Stadium. It's not flood Casey anymore. Yeah, No, you're right, Texas could do the World Cup on its own. Yeah, so, you know, hopefully, And for everything I've read, most people said of the United States facilities, Dallas was the best one.
1:01:54 So maybe next time we'll get the championship game. That'd be sweet. So good job America. And on a more local level, good job Jerry Jones and the voters of Arlington, which includes me from way back when I helped to approve that stadium. Me I helped, oh and talk about everything done right. I mean, I think they're five years ahead on the bond repayment and they said the US got a surplus or like may twenty billion on. The the event. So yeah, good on everybody, and we got some good advertising worldwide.
1:02:36 Oh great, great advertising worldwide. And soccer will be big again in America for a while, which is also a good thing. Okay, so we've heard stories recently about how Gen Z aren't the drinkers that we are Gen X boomers. And for the record, someone has said, now they really are. The person who's worked in bars said yeah, I said, no, that's that's really. Not because I keep seeing the same study boomerang around social media where it says gen Z is falling far behind alcohol consumption compared to its you know, previous generations like Millennials, Boomers and Gen X. But like Trey is making the face right now, it's like, yeah, but I'm in bars quite a bit. They're still drinking well.
1:03:28 And I mean millennials and Gen x's quite the drinkers, so that that's just if they fall off a little bit, that doesn't mean they're not drinking a lot. I know the Millennials are drinkers. Yeah, yeah, gen X is for sure. But now this there, now there's some new information coming out that it's actually the boomers, not Gen Z, that are the generation cutting back most on alcohol. New research overturns the assumption that abstinate younger drinkers are behind weak demanded. They're saying it's seventy one percent of boomers born between nineteen forty six and nineteen sixty four consumed alcohol in the past six months, the lowest drinking rate of any generation, and down two percentage points from three years ago. By contrast, seventy four percent of Gen Z who are at the legal drinking age, reported drinking in the past six months, up from sixty six percent three years ago.
1:04:22 Yeah, could this statistic be because the boomers are getting old? I mean, the boomers are getting old. But the other thing that really people have not factored into all these drinking numbers that come out. It's COVID alcohol sales. Although bars were closed, alcohol sales went through the roof during COVID and they started coming back down to a normal level. Bar sales in general have been really good. You can look at the numbers and a lot of bars have had record years in the last year. So, yeah, a lot of it is the boomers are getting older and they're starting to figure out they're getting heating. The warnings of it doesn't help with aging. I mean, it really meant especially mentally, it's not good for you.
1:05:18 And I've always been of the mindset with with gen Z quote allegedly drinking less, it's like they'll catch up. Just let them come across. Like I will say, I see more gen Z people not drinking. And this is just anecdotally just stuff I've seen. I do see on occasion a gen Z person's like, yeah, I don't drink. It's like, okay, cool. But I still see plenty of gen Z people that are that still remind me of when I was that age, So I don't think that's yeah. I also think here's the more interesting thing that I'm sure someone will study. It will not surprise me one bit if they say the biggest leap in cannabis use is the boomers. Also, they're slowing down on drinking, but they're finding.
1:06:05 H yes, oh yes. If you want to find if you want to find some common ground, if you want to see where the Boomer VENN diagram intersects with the gen Z is going to be over a bowl. All right. So while this study says it's boomers that are drinking less, don't tell that to an eighty two year old grandma who wants to have a law changed so she can keep having happy hour at her care home. Grandmother of five, Anita Lebrun has always loved a good glass of pinogriggio and her family's tradition of kicking off five pm happy hours at their lake house, and now she wants it to be law that she's allowed to do it. She couldn't believe it when she found out last year that her Minnesota assisted living facility was prohibited from serving thanks to residents because it didn't have a license. Already something of a social butterfly, she agreed to become the face and voice of a mission to change the law. After testifying twice before the state legislature, she shared a toast with Governor Tim Waltz this week for a ceremonial signing of what's been nicknamed the Grandparents' Happy Hour Bill at the very facility she calls home. Don't ever let someone tell you you can't make change happen in your community.
1:07:28 Because almost every state has this ban, and so many states in their next legislative session will see legislation come through about changing this law. Because yeahs as. The boomers are going to retirement centers, they're going to want to change that, or they're gonna want to, or they're going to make new retirement facilities, assisted living that aren't run by the state and play in their own rules. Absolutely because and here's what's going to. It's the next business for the Indian Reservation to watch. Ooh chick cass nursing homes. Mm hm, sign me up, brother, because here's what I think is gonna happen. You have lady, you have people.
1:08:12 You have boomers like this eighty two year old granny who's like, I want my happy hour at my nursing home, and so she gets the law changed. So some boomers are blazing a path on this. It's gonna it's gonna turn into a wildfire when gen X starts making that transition into some of these assisted living facilities, because we're all gonna change the template. We've laughed about this over the over the recent years about what gen X is nursing homes are going to look like. I fully expect them to have video game rooms and hell yes, a bar and all these types of things. These are things we don't just want, we will damn demand it because at that point, man put me in the whole man this sounds great, sounds like going back to college, and I never really, I never had the dorm experience in college. Man, give it to me when you know, when I'm pissing myself.
1:09:11 They got what like twelve fifteen years before that that transition starts, Yeah, maybe ten. So let them start getting these laws changed. So when it comes time for us to wheel ourselves into the facility, we're not going to be so torn up about it. We're going to be like, yeah, let's go playing Marios smoking a blunt, got your glass of wine, and Jerry. It's we are technically four years away from the first Gen xers being sixty five, so it's not a decade away. It's more five to seven years. Yeah it's coming, Yeah, Yeah, it's coming. All right. The body Wash heist for the century. I know the century is early, but I feel confident in saying I don't think we're going to hear a story quite like this one until twenty two.
1:10:04 This story was so gross I didn't even send it to you, Daniel. Do we lose you? All right? Try to say that again, my internet hecta. This story was so gross. I saw it and I didn't even send it to you. Because I was like you, I don't even I don't want to even think about this again. Do we need to catch Jerry up? Just yeah, I think so? Okay, So I'll try to tell this briefly. Earlier this week, Jerry, we read a story about a young lady who was being romantic with her fella, and her fella goes downstairs and he comes back up and says, ooh, you've got cheese down there. Oh, and she had to.
1:11:00 Edit her post to say sorry, I didn't mean cheese, I meant discharge. She said, English was not her first language. I'm going to tell you this right now. If I ever go to another country, I am not going to mess up discharge with a food item. She did. I mean I understood what cheese meant in that particular instance. Understand fully. Now, we were big on mentioning while discussing that story earlier this week that nine times out of ten you eat cheese. This is that one time that you don't.
1:11:43 That's right, So anyway, instead, now we get a story out of Lakeland, I believe Lakeland, Florida. Yep. So on the heels of the girl whose boyfriend told her you've got cheese down there we have a bizarre body wash heist at a Walgreens in Lakeland, Florida. Hang on one second. A forty seven year old man has been arrested yet again after a body wash heist was reported late last month. That's to the Polk County Sheriff's Office and the illustrious state of Florida. In a release, deputy said the incident happened on June twenty ninth at a Walgreens store along Lakeland Highlands Road. Upon arrival, deputies learned that three suspects had entered the Walgreens together, with one distracting the store clerk and the other two filled bags with several containers of body wash. Of all the things at a Walgreens, you can take, body wash is an interesting choice.
1:12:45 Maybe one of the few left that's not behind lock. Cabinets they are at mine? Are that the body washes? Yeah? Jesus, just just turn all the stores into just one big lock box they are well, I mean, just one big one, like just like pay a five dollars cover to get in and then you just you can actually just go in to shop for stuff. Just turn it into a vending machine. Yeah, basically afterward The trio left the store together without paying for the stolen items, which were valued at nearly six hundred and fifty dollars. That's a lot of body wash. Upon review of the surveillance footage, investigator said, they recognized one of the female suspects. So you have three suspects in here looking like ladies, but not so much. They recognized one of these female suspects as forty seven year old Jerald Cobbs.
1:13:37 They recognized him due to his extensive history of previous arrests. The release says Gerald is known to dress as a female. They say cobs here, but it's just funny to say Gerald. Gerald is known to dress as a female. Further investigation revealed that Gerald had recently been arrested by the Lakeland Police Department on an active warrant and was all ready being held in the county jail. How convenient is that you go and look at the surveillance footage of these three dude ladies stealing body wash at Walgreens and one of them's already in the clinker. I said, can I ask you a question?
