I'm Dan O'Malley along with Trey Trenholm. Coming up inside the treehouse today is a doozy. Taped on a plane. Would you die for a bigger? A very important question that we now have to ask. And am I the a-hole for blocking a driver's door? That is all coming up here inside the Treehouse Show today. And if you love what you hear here today, do us a solid.

And together we can grow this little treehouse show. Am I the a-hole for blocking a driver's door? I love a good parking drama. I think mainly because I have seen it. I've seen it so many times in my life and it drives me absolutely crazy because there's deeper seated issues I have here with this. It's not just, oh, that person parked like an a-hole. I think that's how a lot of people see it and then they move on. I, however, look deeper because I have deeper seated issues. I see someone parking like an a-hole and I think, how dare they do that? How dare they inflict their will upon others that have done nothing to justify receiving it? How dare they do that and get away with it without any sort of consequences? This is not right. Now, it's not like I'm picketing and things like that and burning down their house or anything, but still, it really gets under my skin.

2:49 Well, so I too have very strong feelings about this. And because you're being a selfish a-hole when you park poorly and there is generally a residual effect that keeps going. It's not just that you have inconvenience one person, then that person typically has to park badly. And then it's a chain reaction. And when like you're in a bar, a bar, and typically bars have limited parking when you do that, you are literally costing the place money just because you are a lazy, self-centered prick and you can't take enough time to back in and line up and park correctly.

3:41 And everything you just said nails it because the individual that parks that way is inconsiderate and doesn't think about the effects on others. And you took it all the way down the line, like in front of a business, and how it can affect an actual business. And that person's not even thinking about the person next to them, let alone the impact it may actually have on the economic community around them. But it does. And these are the things that keep me up at night. Not necessarily that someone parked wrong and is an a-hole, but because I'll think about things just like, God, it's amazing how just truly shitty some people are in this world. And I know we haven't even gotten into the context of this story. And obviously you and I are on the same page. Although what you may have done and what I may have done may vary greatly. I don't know.

4:36 You might, Trey, be the guy that's like, you know what? I will go bird down their house. So am I in the wrong for blocking a driver's side door with my car? This guy says, I'm actually feeling like a bag of shite now and need an outside opinion. Today, I was struggling to find parking in a busy shopping center. I drove down one lane of parking spaces, not realizing there would be no room to turn around, and it was just a dead end. There was one vacant spot at the very end that had an SUV parked not on, but over the line, making it close to impossible for anyone else to park there. The SUV was hogging two spaces due to poor parking. I won't lie, I was feeling petty. I was flustered because the only way for me to even get out was to pull into the empty spot and reverse out. But once I pulled in, I realized I fit by a few millimeters without touching the other car. I even glanced inside to see how much of a pain it would be for the driver of the other car to get in and scoot over to the passenger side. There was no gear shift in the middle, just the cup holder thingy to scoot over.

5:42 But like I said, I was feeling petty and annoyed. I feel you, brother. So instead of reversing, I parked, went inside for 30 minutes. When I got out, two women were standing with a security guard next to my car looking pissed. One woman asked if I was the car parked next to her. I said, yes. I hope he said it that way. I really do. She started to yell at me and ask why I would do that to her. She kept repeating, you don't do this to people. Hmm. I reiterated that she, in fact, did not park correctly, and she also had the option of getting in the passenger side. She said she couldn't because she had knee surgery. I, in my anger, replied, I don't care about your knee. If you're done being a twat, I'd be happy to move my car and let you in. Trey, I feel like we found your English cousin.

6:46 He didn't drop the C word, so I'll go second cousin. Maybe once or twice removed. She went quiet. I pulled out and left while she glared at me. The other woman and the security guard didn't say a word throughout the entire interaction. Now the more I think about it, the worse I feel. I'm normally not so bold and petty, so I'm not sure if what I did warrants the response she had as if I had caused her harm in some way. Am I in the wrong for parking where I did? No, absolutely not. The irony is thicker than peanut butter in this story, where she says, how could you do this to people parking so close to their door? I appreciate him calling her a twat in that moment, and that's where it really needs to be thrust upon her very, very dramatically. That She's the one that is inflicting her will upon others, not giving a damn how it affects. So at the end of the day, she got a taste of her own medicine and didn't like the flavor.

7:58 Now, this is where it does get nuanced. Did she park that way because someone else had parked that way? This is true. This is where it has saved many a car and many... Because we've all seen this and been in this situation. And if I know the person who pulled in there did it on their own, yeah, I would do the exact same thing. Don't care. And I would take pictures. So if I came out and my car was damaged, I would know exactly who to come after. Yeah.

8:41 That being said... if you run the risk that they were just responding because another selfish twat actually, you know, parked badly, then you are the a-hole. You are doing the thing that I do, which is considering all the possibilities before I decide on my course of action, right? So I had this exact problem in the apartment that my wife and I lived in in Uptown. When we were basically neighbors years ago, Trey, And we lived in that little condo off of Travis Street near Uptown in Dallas. It had an underground garage and we had an assigned parking space.

9:22 Okay. When you're looking at the parking spaces, our spot was right here in front of you. And then there was a bunch of open spots to the right. The spot directly to our left had a support column on the driver's side of the parking spot. Because of that, the person that was assigned that spot would typically pull into that parking spot and a lot of times be hanging over into our parking space to the right. They're double parked. But I know they were a twat because no one was blocking them. No one was following. Them over. It's just because they wanted more room to get out of their car because of the support column next to them. So in that case, I knew exactly they were being dicks and not giving a damn about anyone else down the line. So we got into a lovely note war. Um, But you're right. When you're in a public parking lot type situation, you don't know if someone else did it before, and you have to consider that.

10:23 The other possibility you have to consider, and this is a big one to me, which is, do you feel... Is their infraction so egregious that you do something, therefore jeopardizing your car? Because if you do that, you need to consider the possibility that they may F up your car. Mm-hmm. So the other thing you need to consider when you're in this situation is, who's got the nicer car? If they're driving an 88 Oldsmobile, you let them do whatever they want.

11:03 This is where the wisdom of Dalton comes into play. Dalton as in? Roadhouse. Amen, brother. Preach to me. He had that nice Mercedes, but that's not what he drove. He went and bought, bought the beater. And that's, there are times I have often, you know, if you, if I could go find an old like Cadillac or Lincoln, you know, a big boat, I even put some tires on the sides, just, you know, and I would wreak havoc. Every day, every single day driving around town. It's like fury effing road. You are Mad Max driving around and you don't give a damn.

11:53 I would be the avenging angel of bad Parkers. Trey, not all heroes wear capes, my friend. Some drive around really old cars with V8s. Covered in dings and dents and probably the occasional patch of hair in a tooth. Yep. Solid steel. Chances are you're not going to hurt it, but you can give it a shot. So I've been getting some weird stuff on my social media algorithm lately. I showed some interest in some classic cars. And by classic, I mean odd classic. I just happened to see on an Explorer page, I was about to search for something. And in the Explorer page, social media got me. It was a video of a restored F-150 wide body from like the 80s or late 70s or something pickup. And it was shiny and immaculate. It had a lift on it and off-road tires. And man, it just spoke to my testosterone-fueled soul. And because I showed interest in that, now I get shown other accounts with older vehicles. So yesterday... I got showed some account that had a photo of a 96 station wagon. I can't remember if it was a Buick or an Oldsmobile or

13:24 whatever it was. But it was a 1996 station wagon, the last of its kind. It ceased production after this. The wood grain down the side, one owner, only like 30-something thousand miles on it for sale in Fort Worth. For under $ 25, 000. And I thought, oh, my God. Can you imagine driving that thing around town? One, because it's not your typical classic. It's not like you're driving around a 30s pickup. You're not driving around a 57 Vette. It's a 96 station wagon with the full original wood trim down the side. But it looked so clean. Anyway.

14:08 Not a chance. Yeah. There is... I cannot think of any nostalgia I would ever have for a station wagon. I have positive memories from my family's station wagon as a kid, but not so much to where I'd want to own one. Ours was a green Pontiac station wagon. Dark green, but the wood trimmed down the side. The only reason I have positive memories of it is because That was our road trip, you know, the family truckster or whatever, like Clark Griswold would refer to. We'd fold down the seats, and my sister and I had the entire back to us. And that meant whenever they would take a turn too hard, we'd roll around the back because all the seats were folded down. But, I mean, if I saw that somewhere on the tollway, I would get out of its way because that car's out for blood.

15:09 And if they're parked like an a-hole, they're getting away with it. See, there's just nothing about a station wagon that's going to strike fear into you. Sorry. No, I mean like in this parking situation, if I pull in with my Jeep and that car's taking up two spots, they win. Oh, yeah. Because they will F up my ride in a heartbeat if I do anything. Oh, if someone's driving a beater and they do that, yeah, you're getting into the wrong pissing contest there because they don't give a F. Mm-mm. Absolutely not. That's why you have to consider how you approach these situations. So when someone's very obviously double parked being an a-hole, you have to think about, okay, well, if I do something, what could they possibly do? And if they're driving around a Dalton beater, like you said, then I'm not messing with them because they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll F up my car and not think twice about it.

16:03 Yeah. It's like, this is the other thing is really become annoying to me. If you're driving around, especially in a big F-250. Ooh, yeah. But even a nice F-150. Silverado 2500. You know, if you're driving around a nice pickup truck, especially if you're on the big diesel version. And you take a bump like you're in a lowered... Mazda, Miata.

16:47 And you go over it like, you know, you're just a pussy. Stop. Just gingerly go over the two-inch speed bump. If you are in a lifted four-wheel drive vehicle and you are afraid of a speed bump, you really, why do you have a lifted truck? Why do you have a four-wheel drive truck? Yeah, you didn't watch enough Bigfoot back in the day. Bigfoot, the truck, never took a speed bump gingerly. It sped up. Well, you've clearly, and I'll say this, this is probably the case for 70% of people who drive four-wheel drive trucks. They have never actually used the four-wheel drive.

17:31 No, I'm 100% with you. When you've got a vehicle that is that jacked up and meant for off-road just kick-assery, you're not using it for that. Yeah, most people. Because it looks too nice. Yeah, and you can tell how they drive it. If you're a farm ranch guy and you're driving around in an F-250, you know that thing will run over a small Miata. Absolutely. The people equivalent to this... So it's like you have that beautiful big jacked up truck, but it's shiny and nice. You're not taking that thing out and doing work with it. You're not taking that thing out to the woods and going mudding or anything like that. The people equivalent would be a bodybuilder in the gym versus a wrestler. If they get into an altercation, you've got your bodybuilder that looks the part because he's jacked up and he's got his showy gym muscles. But then you got a wrestler half his size with the cauliflower ears that looks like he's seen some stuff. You know who my money's on.

18:46 Oh. Take the... I don't even care if the wrestler's half the size. That wrestler is going to, you know, have that guy twisted like a knot. And he'll never get out because he's not flexible enough. No. Do you remember in this... there was a time and I was serious that Russ was like, you know, our old radio boss, Russ Martin. And we had a promotions director named Rob and Rob was a big roided out guy. Oh yeah.

19:26 But Rob also got his ass kicked quite a bit. He did. Cause he was a roided out bodybuilder guy. He spent so much time in the gym lifting weights. He never bothered to learn how to fight. Well, here's the other thing. When you're that roided up and muscled out, you don't, there are physics to a punch. You don't have, dude never stretched. So his range of motion to actually throw a punch was very limited. And, you know, Russ was always, oh, he'd knock you down. No, he wouldn't. Like, I can take... I will take a punch from him. Happily. Yeah.

20:07 I would have rather taken a punch... from Rob, our old producer, who was bodybuilder guy, then from big gay Steven from the morning show on Hot 100. Or Vedra. Do you feel restless and anxious?

20:52 This segment of the Treehouse Show is brought to you by Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration to get your free roof inspection and property review. 833-COOK-DFW. And when you call right now, between now and the end of the month, For that free roof inspection and for a free estimate on interior and exterior work, you will be entered to win the Cooks Cowboys tickets. Yes. Be excited now before we see how bad they may be to go see them Thursday, October 8th, taking on Tampa Bay in Arlington, courtesy of the Cooks. 833-COOK-DFW or the website cookdfw.com. October 8th. So that's going to be the fifth game, fourth or fifth game?

21:36 Yeah, something like that. People are still deluded and have hope at that point. Oh yeah, Daniel was very smart. He didn't buy tickets for a December game. The Cowboys don't even show up for those games. But yeah, by the fourth or fifth game, unless they just start off horrifically, which typically is not their style. They like to start off Start off with promise and then just slowly erode. Fizzle out like a good relationship does. Yeah, the only... You know, it's sad, again. I can't...

22:21 I don't even really... I don't even know about the NFC East. I'm sure the Redskins are still going to be questionable. That's not their name. Oh, yeah. Sorry, the Commanders. The Giants... I doubt they're going to be very good, even with probably a better head coach. Eagles are going to be the Eagles. And the Cowboys will still somehow be the Cowboys and not be very good. At least they're consistent. Yeah, I mean, 30 years.

23:02 And we've had some stinkers in there of seasons, mainly because of injury and extenuating circumstances. Because in those 30, well, hang on. In the 30 years since the Cowboys have done anything remarkable in the NFL, they had the lean years post-Troy Aikman, where they were like, all right, there was like a. The Quincy Carter years? Yeah, the Quincy Carter years. but remember before we settled on Quincy Carter, there was a few other, you know, people that got thrown in there that were even worse. Um, because you're, because after, you know, in the late nineties, we still had Troikman there, but then that's when we started getting into the, the random coach stuff, you know, where we had Dave Campo, we had Chan Gailey. I'm saying we, a bunch like I played, um, Parcells. Then you get into Parcells and he settles on Quincy Carter.

24:02 And then eventually out of that, we got Tony Romo. Once we got, you know, in the Parcells era and he got established after a couple of years, then the team started showing promise, doing well, but never really, you know, nothing really happened, obviously. I will still say the best team out of all those years That the team, I really, going into the season, I believe they had a chance, was the year, I want to say it's 16, it's the year Romo got hurt and then Dak took over. To me, there are three years. There are three seasons that the Cowboys, I genuinely thought, not just as a Cowboys fan, this is our year, but genuinely, not just the beginning of the year, but going through the entire course of the season, there were three years they had legitimate shot at the Super Bowl. 07? when they lost in the divisional round to the Giants. That was the game they ultimately probably should not have trailed, and people blame Romo on that. But on, I think it was a fourth down play, he hits Patrick Creighton right in the hands. He catches it. It's a first down. The drive continues. Instead, he drops it. Game over. The other one was 14. The Dez caught it here. Two things in that game. Two major things in that game. That was a legitimate year that they had a shot to win the Super Bowl. Obviously, if Dez caught it or not,

25:33 if that goes the other way, they win that game. I think they go to the Super Bowl. The other play in that game was if DeMarco Murray doesn't fumble, there's a play in there where he fumbles and the Cowboys lose the ball. If he doesn't fumble, he has got open turf all the way to the end zone. And the third season, real quick, was the same one you're saying was Romo's last year when he got hurt. That was the third one that I felt like, had he not been hurt, that was an excellent team. That was, to me, the most complete team they had had. The thing about the 14th season that I kind of... If I remember correctly, didn't Favre beat us on one leg in that game? There was a playoff game where Favre beats us and... There were a lot of excuses, but at the end of the day, it's like he was hobbling around on one leg, and they still won.

26:28 I think that was an Aaron Rodgers team. I'm sorry. I meant Aaron Rodgers, not Favre. Sorry. Yes. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that was one-legged Aaron Rodgers. Okay, that's where I disagree with you on the 14 season, because Favre was out there on one leg, still completing passes. You know, even the Dez catch, it shouldn't have been that close. Yeah. Yeah, you are right about that. I will say that we don't know what would have happened in that 14 game, but if the Dez actually catches it, if that stands, and also especially if DeMarco Murray doesn't fumble, I would love to see how that game plays out. Even, like you said, even with a lights-out, one-legged Aaron Rodgers. See, for those that don't know, we're actually really smart about sports.

27:18 But we're also smart about other stuff, unlike other folks. All right, so this is the Treehouse Show. I'm Dan, he's Trey. Today is Wednesday, September 9th, 2026. Celebrate today with some birthdays. All right. It's kind of a. Weird birthday day, but we'll slog through this. It's actually pretty good. We're going to start with David Steele. He is 66. He is the songwriter and the bassist from Fine Young Cannibals. Two important things about David Steele turning 66 from the Fine Young Cannibals. Number one, very wise on his part as a bassist to be a songwriter because you are the most expendable member of a band if you were the bassist. If you don't believe me, ask Jason Newsted. So he managed to show his worth to the band by being a songwriter. Smart on his part.

28:14 The second important thing for David Steele turning 66 as a member of the Fine Young Cannibals is they gave us an all-time banger, She Drives Me Crazy. And then that song was paired up in a movie with Jennifer Connelly where she rides a little coin-operated horse straight into our hearts and our memories. And our loins. Mm-hmm. Jennifer Connelly. Oh yeah. Anyway, uh, David Steele, 66. And that is why we do birthdays because we will find some stuff in there.

28:56 Even if it seems like just an innocuous guy turning 66, uh, pink is 47. Good for her singer, songwriter, uh, and, uh, someone that they wanted to try to turn into Britney Spears and she wouldn't have it. It's, it is so funny. It's, um, I was on YouTube, and there's a famous video of her watching this girl do a cover of What About Us? And the girl, it's like Davina or something. She's remarkable. And even Pink's like, she sings this better than I ever could. But, you know, Pink's first song, and I can't even remember the name, but she came off, she was kind of like the tough.

29:43 She was on a motorcycle. She's in leather, tough. Yeah, she was not going to be Britney Spears, but she had that hit. And then, yeah, she was kind of like, F all of you, I'll do it my own way. And God knows she's talented enough that she did. That woman can sing. She was pop, but she was like this sort of a pop punk ish hybrid, you know, not like not so much punk music, but sort of a punk attitude and voice was that style. Kind of like what when Christina Aguilera, when they had her coming up right behind Britney Spears and then they're alongside, they're the pop princesses and then Pink is there. She was sort of the alternate version of them. She was sort of like the harder edge, the more rock style. And then eventually Christina Aguilera tried to go that route a little bit and somewhat successfully because that dirty video sure was dirty at the time.

30:35 Well, this is the thing I'll always say about if you ever want to understand why music is so weird. You can go back and look at the talent in the late 90s. Britney, Christina, Pink. Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, uh, Jessica Simpson, uh, Brandy, Monica, all these things. Britney's the worst singer out of all of them by far. Yeah. By leaps and bounds, but the biggest. Star because, uh, Beyonce coming out of, you know, destiny's child. That was a little Beyonce's a little bit after destiny's child is late nineties, but then that's kind of a group.

31:17 I mean, I will never, never forget though. Uh, when Wyclef Jean does the remix of no, no, no. And it's their video and they're on like swings and you're like, Oh, who is that? She's hot. And yeah, Beyonce, but of the, of the, I'll call them the pop princesses of the, of the nineties. Britney is by far and away the biggest star and by far and away the least talented. Vocally. She shouldn't be in the same stadium with those other names that you mentioned. not even close. No, not yet. Not even close. She, but she was hot and packet just the right time that oops. I did it again.

32:02 School girl video. If that, if she doesn't do that video, we, she is in a trailer in. Louisiana forever and we will have never heard of her. Oh, the only way you would have heard of her is Mickey mouse club. That's true. I do forget about the Mickey Mouse Club. She would have been one of the sad Mickey Mouse Club kid stories who still ended up in the trailer, you know, next to a swamp. And if I remember this correctly, Oops, I Did It Again, Britney Spears, would not, I hope, get made today. Because if I remember right. Oh, I'm sorry. Oops, I Did It... No, was it Hit Me Baby One More Time was her first hit? Yeah, that was her score. Yeah.

32:46 Hit Me Baby One More Time, yeah. Or whichever one it was. We know the one you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. If I remember correctly, she wasn't even 16 when they shot that. I don't think that even gets released today. At least I hope not. Oh, I think it does. You think so? Yeah. Schoolgirl outfit, dripping sexuality kind of thing. I feel like today's climate, I feel like they'd be like, hey, that's a little, you know, for someone underage. I mean, we didn't care at the time because we were within a few years of her age. We're like, that's on the table. Yeah. But if you're 40, but if you're our age right now, looking back at her, then it's just like, Ooh, that's, that's like, that's, that's like my buddy's daughter.

33:34 Yeah, maybe. I don't know that that's a tough one, but for as big of a nut job as she turned out to be, you know, that's, but again, and that's, I have said this over and over because I've had, especially running bars, people who come in and sing and you're like, how do you not have a recording contract? You are so good. But it's just the fickle nature of the music business. Just because you're the most talented does not mean you are going to be a star. Nope. David Arquette is 55 from the Arquette family. We were speaking yesterday about the Hollywood nepotism Um, uh, very strong, uh, in its roots. And the Arquette family is one that's been around for a long time. I mean, those, all those siblings, you had David Arquette, Rosanna Arquette, Patricia, Patricia Arquette.

34:33 Thank you. Uh, all those siblings. I mean, uh, David Arquette, best known as, uh, uh, the not Dudley do right. But you know, the, the, whatever deputy and scream. He was best known as Mr. Courtney Cox. And not the WCW champion at one time. It's instead it's Mr. Courtney Cox. His acting is questionable. Yeah. I mean, his sisters, I generally think are pretty talented, but yeah, I, I think he, he is a Nepo baby who, uh, pulled at the time, one of the hottest women in the world. Okay. You mentioned Russ earlier and we don't typically talk about Russ too much on the show because I mean, he's been dead a long time and whatever. Um, But this is this is an interesting tie in back to our old radio show. So we had David Arquette on. We were on the Eagle, you know, back when Russ was still half cognizant. And they sort of had like this brief friendship. And then, of course, Russ got drunk and made it weird. And then he never heard from him again.

35:40 But David Arquette's current wife. Do you know who she is? I do not. It's Christina something. Do you remember back in the early two thousands from the CW 33 across the street when we were at live one Oh five, three, there was an entertainment reporter that did a package on Russ. I do remember that brunette girl young in her twenties. Okay. Yeah. Now, now that I've pulled it up, I know exactly who you're talking about. Yes. That is David Arquette's wife. That's that was the full circle involving, you know, Russ and the show. This Christina McLarty, that was her name, Christina McLarty, who was working at the CW 33 across the street from our radio station at the time, did this package on Russ. Russ is, of course, doing it because he wanted to get in her pants. I don't think he ever did. Trey, you would know better than I did in that little era.

36:36 And then down the line, she eventually moves to L.A. She ends up married to David Arquette. David Arquette ends up on the show in like the 20 teens. And that was their little link. How's that for random? It's random. And it's funny. Speaking of a quick Russ story, we were talking yesterday about Russ and guests. And ruining them. One of the funnier times, and this is back when we were on 105.3, and the midday show, Tonya Harding was making the rounds as a boxer, if you remember.

37:20 That's right. Part of the celebrity boxing stuff that was big at the time. But, you know, she was actually trying to, like, act like she was going to be a legitimate boxer. And. One of the prerequisites, because they had offered her to us, one of the prerequisites of the interview was she will not talk about the Nancy Kerrigan issue. No. What's the point? If you can't ask about the biggest thing, there's no point in having you in the room. And I was like, pass. And then Russ comes, sees her on Pugs and Kelly, and he comes in, he's screaming at me, why the F do it? And then... Inevitably, they ask her about it, and she storms out of the studio, and I go, that is why I said no.

38:05 And he's like, oh, okay. Yeah. Eat it, you big jerk. Yeah. I don't know how many times you had to do that. He would make some gross assumption and then come in screaming and hollering and blah, blah, blah, and be like, this is your fault. What? What do you mean? We said no because of A, B, and C, because of the rules you laid out. Okay. Yeah. Rule number one is we don't negotiate. Yeah. Brooke Burke is 55 as well. TV host, fitness personality. You know, I haven't seen her in a couple of years since she did it. She did a Skechers commercial, though, not long ago and still look good.

38:48 The best Skechers have ever looked. Mm hmm. Kennedy is 54. Former MTV VJ. She's a television radio personality. I think now you can find her on the Fox News quite a bit. She's on Fox Business and Fox News. And interesting. She's a very interesting person. I forgot what song. I think it's a Goo Goo Dolls song that's based on her. Really? Yeah. Ooh, I'll have to look that one up. Something as... I don't know your name or whatever. Cause no one, something about her. She seldom divulged her last name.

39:28 Oh yeah. Just Kennedy. Sometimes one name's all you need. Wiz Khalifa is 39. Martin Freeman is also 55. A trio of 55-year-olds today. Martin Freeman from The Original Office, from The Hobbit, from Sherlock. He was also CIA Agent Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I couldn't do the Hobbit movies. Not because I think they're good or bad or anything, but I feel like I was so physically tired after the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Return of the King movie, because I watched the director's cut of that, which I think was like three days long.

40:16 And after that, I was so burned out on the hobbitses that by the time the Hobbit movie started coming out, I was like, I'm, I'm spent. I don't have the, I don't have the energy for these right now. They might be great. I have no idea. I think I have mixed feelings about that. It was not near the movie that the Lord of the Rings were. The books were, the book is fantastic, but I think they stretched it too much. I think you could have done the Hobbit in one movie. the bigger bigger question is so that you know they're coming out with a another Lord of the Rings movie oh sweet Jesus and it's it's before it's basically about Smeagol.

41:10 Oh yeah I think this one's supposed to be like actually it's going to star and then I think it's also being directed By that guy. Peter Jackson? No, no, no, no, no. The guy that actually plays Gollum. Oh, maybe. God, I know his name. I'm brain farting. I sort of got to know it. But A, it's going to be because it's Ian McKellen and like the cast is, some of the cast is returning, but they're, it's before the Lord of the Rings and they're all 25 years older. Yeah. Yeah. I have a hard time with certain prequel stuff. Andy Serkis.

41:53 Andy Serkis. Yeah. I have a hard time with certain prequel stuff because I already know the ending. Right. So like Game of Thrones, when House of Dragon came out, I really had no interest in it. And I don't know if I'm the only one that thinks or feels this way. When House of Dragon came out, I really didn't care because I still know the ultimate ending, which to me means whatever happens in this story doesn't really matter. It's not going to change the ending that I already know, right? So that doesn't typically interest me. I don't know if I'm unique in that. It's just something, I mean, I think House of Dragon has done fairly well. So I just, I don't know. It just doesn't pull me in. Yeah.

42:42 Maybe I'm the weirdo there. A few more quick birthdays. I don't know if you say it. Is it Gaten or Gaten? Matazaro. Matarazzo. Sorry. I'm just butchering his name all over the place. Guy's a bigger star than I'll ever dream to be. He's the kid with the funny teeth in Stranger Things. Gaten Matarazzo. Gaten Matarazzo is 24 today from Stranger Things. Very talented kid, by the way. Very, very good actor. And finally, this one's just going to make you feel old. From Home Improvement, Jonathan Taylor Thomas is 45. 45. Ugh.

43:26 Never really watched Home Improvement, so it doesn't... Now, was he the one that got in trouble with the law, or is that the other one? That was the older blonde kid, Zachary Taylor Ty four-name kid. I don't know. I mean. At this point in my life, getting out of bed makes me feel older, so birthdays really just. Fair point. I know one... Wait, wait, I forgot. There's one more birthday I was saving for last. This one will get you out of bed. Heather Thomas is 69. From the Fall Guy TV show in that blue bikini opening up those saloon doors in the intro. The times of the Heathers. Locklear and Thomas. Ooh, I wonder how she looks.

44:12 It's not good, buddy. It's not? It's not good. Remember the Fall Guy movie with Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling? There was a credit scene where Lee Majors, the original Fall Guy, and Heather Thomas make an appearance at the very end of the movie. I had to look it up to make sure it was actually Heather Thomas because it did not look like her because that lady had a lot of work done. You know what? She looks okay. Have you seen Bridget Fonda? I have not.

44:53 I'll tell you what. Let's go to break. We'll Google that and then we'll come back with that. That's a great tease. Want more Treehouse?

All right, so we went to that break. Trey said you need to look up what Bridget Fonda looks like now. She was in a remake of La Femme Nikita back in the day, and she looked damn good.

45:48 I mean, from mid-90s to early 2000, she was phenomenal. Great actress, and I have a thing for redheads, but just gorgeous. Okay, so I have not seen her in forever. She left Hollywood to raise a family, have kids. No one had really seen her, like very few public appearances, but She recently made one because, yeah, well. So I typed in Bridget Fonda now. I have not seen it yet, so you're going to get my honest first reaction. I haven't even had a chance to hit images or anything, but we'll see what I get here.

46:29 No. No. That's not her. You want to believe that. Then you look closely at the facial features and you go, no, that is her. Especially the nose. It's her. No. She looks like Henry. Actually, no, Henry aged better. No. Oh, buddy, no. It's hard to look at. And the reason picture is, one of the reasons is because she's lost weight because of like, I think she's on a GLP-1 or something.

47:14 I don't know if you'll be able to see this very good from there, but how does that go to that? I have looked and I... I mean, clearly, she did not give an F. You said she left Hollywood to have a family and raise kids or to build a house and lure and eat kids? Clearly, you know, she fed her. I assume she fed her kids, and she may have fed on them or their friends. I don't know. It also looks like she's been eating some demons. Look, I'm not one to judge. I've had to weight battle my entire life, but at the same time, I didn't have the fond of name and resources that she's had.

48:06 You know what? As long as she's happy, that's all that matters. Whether or not when I see her walking down the street, if if I'm scared or, or titillated, that's, that's really not her concern. I mean, but that is one of her underrated roles. I think underrated movie, maybe of the nineties, but doc Hollywood. She was in doc Hollywood. Yeah. She was the daughter of the mayor. But she wasn't the main love interest that came out of the lake. No. Remember, she and Woody Harrelson go to Hollywood. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

48:52 That's right. It's been so long since I've seen that movie, I'd forgotten her role in that. That's right. It holds up. It's still a good movie. That's one I want to go back and rewatch. That's one of those movies I thought about randomly like a few weeks ago where I remember back when it came out, and I also remember, I can't remember the name of the actress who played the love interest opposite Michael J. Fox in Doc Hollywood. But we're talking about a movie that's basically just, you know, it's a comedy, right? It's not supposed to be this. hard R type of film. Julie Warner. Julie Warner. She makes a hell of an entrance in this film because Doc Hollywood, he's lost. He goes down to this lake or river and this beautiful woman comes walking out of the water completely naked and it's full frontal.

49:38 I mean, that 90s Bush is out there. And I remember it in the movie, and I even remember interviews with her on Entertainment Tonight and stuff, going like, so you went all out for this role, didn't you? And even at the time I'm watching this movie, keep in mind, I'm at the height of puberty, so I was all about it. But even then, at the height of puberty, I was like, this seems a little strong for this movie. That doesn't really seem to be necessary, you know? And now I look back on it and I was like, that was extremely gratuitous. Don't get me wrong. Like 12, 13 year old me loved it, but that was a.

50:19 PG 13 movie. I don't remember the full nudity. Oh God, I do. I felt like a booger in revenge of the nerds in the theater.
