1
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.000
It is time to leave your warriors outside and life

2
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.000
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with

3
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:36.000
Trey Trenholm, Raj Sharma and Jerry Caldwell. Today is right day,

4
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.320
August twenty second, twenty twenty five. You have reached the

5
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.960
end of your week. Hopefully not the end of your rope.

6
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.719
But if you have, then we'll make your exit from

7
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.240
this plane to the other just a little bit funnier.

8
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.200
Could also just be really funny, as if the noose

9
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.759
you've hanged yourself from the ceiling fan snaps and you

10
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:05.400
go flinging across the room into the wall. Man, I

11
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.159
can't even do that, right, Yeah, that's dark, but whatever,

12
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.200
All right, here we go. We're going from dark to light?

13
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:16.319
Am I the dark?

14
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.319
Oh? You're you're gonna be in this pile? Rush? Here

15
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:28.959
we go. Twice a month, six men gather to help

16
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000
each other work through past traumas their chosen method of

17
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:40.439
healing cuddles. That's right. It may seem odd, but members

18
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.079
of the Men's Therapeutic Cuddle Group say the practice is

19
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.120
help them cope with everything from childhood abuse to the

20
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.840
loss of family members when they were young. So in

21
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.159
case you didn't pick up what I was throwing down.

22
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.799
There's a men's cuddling group and they aim to read

23
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.879
a fine masculinity and heal trauma.

24
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.319
There's I mean, yeah you can. It's called the round

25
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:15.800
Up in Dallas. Uh Rattlesnakes, I mean j R's.

26
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.120
Big Men's Cuddling Group.

27
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:20.599
Yeah.

28
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.360
Yeah, there's there's a whole weekend called the tb ru

29
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:25.599
the Texas Bear round Up.

30
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:33.240
I was about to say they're all bears. They called

31
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:34.919
cuddling something called hibernating.

32
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.080
I don't know how. Yeah.

33
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.159
A group of men in a group of men in

34
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.520
Pennsylvania meet twice a month to cuddle. Members of the

35
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.639
Men's Therapeutic Cuddle Group say the practice has helped them

36
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.000
cope with loss and trauma. One cuddle. One cuddle is

37
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.319
called the motorcycle hold. That's where one man sits with

38
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.080
his back against another man's chest as if they were

39
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.879
riding a motors Then there's another cuddle that they referred

40
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:15.439
to as a puppy pile. For those that are curious

41
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.280
about the puppy pile, the puppy pile is where they

42
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:26.039
have their heads in one another's lapse, asking for time,

43
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:27.560
asking for help.

44
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.360
Asking for belly rubs.

45
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.599
And this is why, this is why I hate Eagles

46
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:40.639
fans uh.

47
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.240
Pennsylvania, hold me, hold me while we chan't eat a

48
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.840
g l e Yes, this.

49
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.439
Is where they ca this is where they originated the

50
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:51.800
tush push promise.

51
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:58.360
You all started in a cuddle group now and it's spilled.

52
00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:59.960
Out onto the field after the puppy.

53
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.680
This group is not brand new. This group is two

54
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.719
years old and it's drawn men from various backgrounds. One

55
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.439
of the men in this cuddle group is a thirty

56
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.000
seven year old Mormon who works as an airport gate agent.

57
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:22.319
The other another is a real Yes, another is a

58
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.639
fifty seven year old married father of three. There's also

59
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.480
a sixty two year old retiree that's pretty fantastic being

60
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.279
sixty two and actually retired in this day and age.

61
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.160
Good on here and for everybody to find out you're

62
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:36.959
gay at that age.

63
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.480
I'm glad you said that, Raj, because at a time

64
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.160
when traditional ideas of manhood are facing scrutiny and such

65
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.920
terms as toxic masculinity are becoming more widely known through

66
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.399
the Me Too movement, the Men's Cuddle Group aims to

67
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.360
provide new ways for men to express themselves.

68
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.040
Just look at TRACE's face and you can see what's

69
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:04.639
happening world. And he's in Vegas, where there's a lot

70
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:05.480
of people cuddly.

71
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.600
If there's any city in this country that the cuddle

72
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.399
group would be welcomed with open arms, it's lads Vegas.

73
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.399
I mean, did they all go to the blue Oyster bar?

74
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.040
I mean oil can.

75
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:29.759
Harry's Scott Turner says in this story, so often we're

76
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.120
taught that to be an emotional stoic is the mark

77
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.920
of manhood. Scott is a forty six year old interior

78
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.439
designer and co founder of the group You Don't Say.

79
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.360
He says, if you show any emotional weakness or vulnerability,

80
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.120
that's a failure to your title of a man. But

81
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.759
if we expect men to be emotionally sensitive to the

82
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.000
needs of others, they first need to be able to

83
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.800
build an emotional vocabulary. Part of that involves learning that

84
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.480
physical touch extends beyond aggression or sex. Platonic effect can

85
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.600
be a doorway to emotional closeness or, in this case,

86
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:05.879
a men's cuddle group.

87
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.680
Yeah, but riding bitch on a motorcycle with another man

88
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:17.759
is just gay?

89
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.560
Who's Harley, and who's Davidson.

90
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.240
Doesn't really matter as long as you're both in leathers chaps.

91
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:33.759
I assume you just take turns.

92
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:40.000
I don't know who's the old lady. I just I

93
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.160
do like being that this is in Pennsylvania. I do

94
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:43.839
in my head.

95
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.279
I just I envisioned the deal with this. This is

96
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.399
the spot where Steelers and Eagles fans come together.

97
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.240
Right in the middle of the state to watch the giants.

98
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:07.720
Unlike professional cuddling services, which are gaining popularity in cities

99
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.879
across the United States, this men's cuddle group charges no

100
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.560
fees and members are not required to undergo any sort

101
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.240
of training. The meetups are not open to the public.

102
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.279
They the members must first be interviewed and approved. And

103
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.040
in case you're curious, the meetups is actually spelled m

104
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:26.759
E E T, not E A T.

105
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:35.720
And what what members are being interviewed? Because that could

106
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.959
be that could mean something completely different.

107
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:46.920
There's a there's another section of this story in bold

108
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.399
titled a group demonstration, and I don't know if I'm

109
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:51.040
prepared for that.

110
00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.079
No one is till meeting to.

111
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.639
That's more of a second meeting type of thing.

112
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.519
You don't hunk away from that one.

113
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.040
More of a crawling thing.

127
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:30.600
little more broad and perhaps a little less controversial, but

128
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:36.679
still fun. Okay, Trey, if I remember correctly, you went

129
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.799
to sleep away camp as a kid? Right? Yes, raj

130
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:41.200
did you.

131
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:43.879
Go to a camp?

132
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:44.960
Yeah?

133
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:45.200
No?

134
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.039
All right, me and neither I didn't go either, Jerry.

135
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:49.600
Did you ever go to a sleep away camp as

136
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.000
a kid?

137
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:50.679
Nope?

138
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:55.360
All right? Would you go to a sleep away camp

139
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.840
as an adult for adults?

140
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:03.519
No, that's called a cult.

141
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.879
Well let's let's wait here. There might be more to

142
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:14.840
this than than than your cynicism. Okay, okay, Uh, this

143
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.480
is a thing. Overnight camps are increasingly popular in catering

144
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:23.480
to solo travelers who are looking for in person connection.

145
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.279
This goes a little bit to Trey's new found openness

146
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:32.480
to trying different things like doing a dating event, being

147
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:37.159
open to online dating or speed dating. Would you Tray

148
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.399
be open to the idea of going to an adult

149
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:40.279
sleep away camp?

150
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.039
Truth matter is, I actually looked into one and it

151
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.360
was just over. Uh it's actually going on right now.

152
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:53.519
It's a sober camp that they do in California. Uh,

153
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.879
it's like four days and outdoor stuff like that.

154
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.080
So yeah, So this is actually something that's becoming more

155
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:06.200
and more popular, especially in the century of solitude. That's

156
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.399
part of what the twenty first century has been dubbed

157
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:12.240
by some people, because loneliness, according to some experts, isn't epic.

158
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:17.559
Is an't epidemic. At camp, social creating chemistry is everything.

159
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.000
Campers are divided by age, which range from people in

160
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.320
their twenties up to their sixties, and they're divided not

161
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.200
just by age but also into bunks of eight to ten.

162
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.639
Each is staffed with a trained counselor who serves as

163
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:37.200
a camp concierge and bonding facilitator, even tasked with coming

164
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.320
up with a bunk cheer. During the day. The adult

165
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.960
campers get to create their own schedules from a buffet

166
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:48.919
of traditional activities including boating, archery, ropes, courses, bracelet making,

167
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.720
waterfront whatever that is, ti die and tennis I'm sure pickleball,

168
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.960
banks and appearance in there as well, And there are

169
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.960
even some adult embellishments paint and sip and mix. Ala

170
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:05.080
classes can also be chosen, and the standard cost eight

171
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.159
hundred and eighty three dollars for two nights and three days.

172
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.440
Adult sleep away camps are becoming more and more popular

173
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.399
ra as you say.

174
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.039
No, oh, well, I don't want to be around that

175
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:17.799
many white people.

176
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.600
I've seen a photo of one of these camps. It's

177
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.240
not all white people.

178
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.440
Oh. They have to have a counselor.

179
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.200
And or an Indian that owns the cabins.

180
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.480
You'd rather own the adult sleep away camp than attended,

181
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:39.080
is what you're saying.

182
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:40.320
That's correct.

183
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.879
For two nights. Hell yeah, you're in.

184
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.240
I think this is a fascinating thing, because it really is.

185
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:51.399
I mean, this is something that as adults, I think

186
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.240
we all can agree on. It's weird slash difficult to

187
00:12:55.399 --> 00:13:00.039
just make new friends, and doing something like this, I

188
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.279
feel like you'd almost be guaranteed to get at least

189
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:03.399
one new friend out of it.

190
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:10.000
Well, I think there's something okay, I think there's something

191
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:13.480
to be said for the fact that a lot of

192
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:18.840
it isn't so much people are lonely, But I think

193
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:21.240
there's a difference between lonely and not wanting to be alone.

194
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.000
And I think especially a lot of people our age,

195
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.480
have gotten to a point where and this is and

196
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.519
I know this is probably my biggest problem is I

197
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.480
don't necessarily want to be alone, but I'm very comfortable

198
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.080
being alone. And that's one of the reasons why I'm

199
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:38.960
trying to do this stuff, is get myself out of

200
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.279
that habit, because if it keeps going, I will be

201
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:47.120
just a hermit. Yeah, I mean as far as you know,

202
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.879
give me, you know, a dog or two, and I'm

203
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:50.960
I'm fine.

204
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.519
Yeah, yeah, But eight hundred and eighty three dollars to

205
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.600
make one new friend, I don't I don't like the

206
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:56.600
return on investment.

207
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.759
Well, if you don't just from a transaction, you know, standpoint,

208
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.720
you have to If you're just thinking I'm gonna spend

209
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.360
almost nine hundred dollars to make a new friend, then

210
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.919
that's the wrong way to approach it. Instead, you're spending

211
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.600
that for the experiences and for the lodging in which

212
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.919
you get to share a room with seven to nine

213
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:17.720
other people.

214
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.759
Yes, I'd rather pay the Spirit Airline, you know, three

215
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:24.000
hundred dollars a round trip flight to Pennsylvania and just

216
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.320
cuddle with those guys.

217
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:27.879
The cuddle group is free.

218
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:33.919
It is free the charge, but you're gonna pay it.

219
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.600
But as far as the adult sleep away camp, I

220
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.919
think there's a reason why this is gaining in popularity. Look,

221
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.440
if you have any sort of a club or a

222
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.919
trip type package whatever, you don't need to win over everybody.

223
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.240
You just need to win over enough people to make

224
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:56.120
it worthwhile. And honest to God, there is no doubt

225
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.000
that inside this treehouse, Trey is our biggest cynic about things.

226
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.200
And there's value in that. And if Trey our biggest

227
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:07.039
cynic is like, yeah, I'd do it, we all should

228
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.000
look at ourselves and think, well, what is why are

229
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.480
we being so snarky about it?

230
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.440
Well, I think one of the First of all, I mean,

231
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.279
you say four hundred and forty a night, Like if

232
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:17.960
you think about going on vacation, by the time you

233
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.159
pay for a hotel meals everything else, You're not far

234
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.240
from that as far as it's really cost, especially.

235
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.159
If you're trying to rent something on Airbnb, because it

236
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.720
says one hundred and forty nine per night, but when

237
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.320
you get the bill it for the weekend, it still

238
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.960
ends up being a thousand dollars because of all the fees.

239
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.080
Well, and one of the things I think is, and

240
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.720
I'm finding this out personally, although I've been in an

241
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.120
industry where I was around people all the time, but

242
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.200
on the on the working side of a bar, one

243
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.320
of these things that really they help you do is

244
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.840
kind of retrain yourself to socialize because for a lot

245
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.240
of people, you kind of have been hanging out by yourself.

246
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.919
And it sounds stupid, but it comes harder and harder

247
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.159
the more you're alone to interact with with, especially a

248
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.240
big group of people you don't know.

249
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.519
See now, I never did camp as a kid. A

250
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.000
we couldn't really afford it, and B even if we

251
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.440
could have. That was baseball season for me. I was

252
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.519
playing baseball. I didn't want to take a week or

253
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.799
two or however long some of these camps would be

254
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.480
and miss baseball. That was what I wanted to do.

255
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.639
I just I just figured you weren't defective enough for

256
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:25.279
those camps.

257
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.200
Was a camp big pencil? Is that what it was called.

258
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.919
Yeah, that's a different camp. That's a different camp than

259
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.440
you went to Trey. That's with your normal size head.

260
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.720
That's a camp where nobody knows their own strength.

261
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.200
Or our names. That's why it's written on everything.

269
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:38.519
It wasn't that long ago we were worried about murder hornets.

270
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:42.920
Then we were worried about the crazy large stick insects

271
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:48.000
from Australia. Then it was the bunnies with tentacles growing

272
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:53.440
out of their heads. Then the radioactive wasps found in

273
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:59.599
a Cold War era nuclear facility in South Carolina. Now

274
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:07.279
radioactive shrimp. This is how far we have fallen radioactive shrimp.

275
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.720
The FDA is warning the public not to eat or

276
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.920
serve certain frozen certain frozen shrimp sold at Walmart, saying

277
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:20.079
it may have been contaminated with unsafe levels of radiation that,

278
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:22.680
if consumed, could lead to an elevated risk of cancer.

279
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.119
A post on Walmart's website says that now recalled shrimp

280
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.759
was sold in Walmart stores in thirteen states, including the

281
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.000
Great State of Texas. So keep that in mind. Take

282
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.640
a look at your shrimp if you bought it from Walmart,

283
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.640
and uh, maybe check some barcodes and whatever, or just

284
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.160
turn off the lights and see if it blows.

285
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.279
Or and hear me out on this, take it away,

286
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:50.519
don't buy.

287
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.200
Shrimp at Walmart. There you go.

288
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.400
That's gonna say the same thing.

289
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:56.920
I saw your face.

290
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:58.920
You got this one, brother.

291
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.960
You're saying you don't trust Walmart and their seafood department.

292
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.240
You know I'm gonna say, if I'm gonna splurge on seafood, no,

293
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.519
not gonna go on Walmart.

294
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:10.519
Go to Walmart.

295
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:13.960
I don't want I don't want the prices to keep

296
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:19.720
falling on my seafood, I'll develop.

297
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.240
A shellfish allergy immediately. Like, I'm good.

298
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.200
The thing you want falling at Walmart is the radiation

299
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.839
levels in their seafood department. That is what you want

300
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:29.039
to see fall If you went.

301
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.000
To Okay, here's the thing.

302
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.240
If you went to someone's house and they're like, hey,

303
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.839
we got some shrimp cocktail, I'm like, oh man, where'd

304
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:39.400
you get the shrimp from Walmart?

305
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:40.400
Would you leave?

306
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.079
I know I would, like it was really nice meeting

307
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:46.920
you people. There's something wrong with you guys.

308
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.599
I like how you're passing judgment on this when you're

309
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.279
the guy that bought a turkey from Dollar General.

310
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.920
No, no, the ninety nine cent store. You you.

311
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.359
Get your and it was eleven and a half pounds

312
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:10.920
and we made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.

313
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.039
It wasn't radioactive you're aware of.

314
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:17.200
Did you turn off the lights to see.

315
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.400
If I could see my Do you think I would

316
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:23.200
still stick around?

317
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.839
Did you run a black light over your Dollar Store turkey?

318
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:33.680
No, it's not it's not a it's a Santana poster.

319
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:38.160
I'm just saying, I like, I don't know what the

320
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.400
what the methodologies are to test the shrimp to see

321
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.359
if it is in fact radioactive. My first thoughts are

322
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.200
very rudimentary, and that turn off the lights doesn't glow

323
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:50.200
and run a black light over it to see if

324
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:52.640
anything on it glows. The thing is, even if it's

325
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.960
Walmart shrimp, something may pop in a black light and

326
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.079
it may not be you know, radiation, It just could

327
00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:59.160
be something else disgusting.

328
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.039
If you run a black light in your house today,

329
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.519
how was that like, Buddy, it's gonna look like.

330
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:07.000
A jack you know.

331
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:08.920
I'm glad you brought that up because I remember when

332
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.519
those stories on the news were huge and they're like, oh,

333
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:13.920
we read a black light test at this hotel room

334
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:16.559
and it's it's covered, and stop do that at home.

335
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:20.200
I'm pretty sure just about everybody's house has some interesting

336
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:21.240
and quizzical stains.

337
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:23.279
If you run a black light over the entire place.

338
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.440
I didn't know you liked van go oh, I don't.

339
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:33.440
It's just what this looks like. I'm an impressionist.

340
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:47.440
I'm not just into painting them. I'm also into leaving them.

341
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:50.519
See once again, Well, typically we go for the low

342
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.279
hanging fruit. On occasion, we will swing from the tree

343
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.599
tops with our human because we just took a story

344
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:02.519
about radioactive shrimp and got an impressionist punchline out of it.

345
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.440
I didn't know that's impressive. I don't know you were

346
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.680
in rah No, I'm not uh, I have I b s.

347
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.640
We know the difference between money and mayonnaise.

348
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:26.000
We can end the show now.

349
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:30.839
That was low and highbrow all at the same time.

350
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.680

365
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.200
it you were saying in the break is what's your

366
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:39.400
favorite thing about this show.

367
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.519
I always know when Trey's gonna take it away, Like

368
00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:47.240
there's a look on his face and I kind of

369
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.799
point and subscribe on PATREONAU you can so you can

370
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:53.759
watch the video, but you can see me point. I'm like, yep,

371
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:58.640
this is where take away ray. I'm just saying anything.

372
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:00.559
Yeah, yeah, And I'm with you. I know that face

373
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:02.599
as well. It's like you look, you look over a train,

374
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.000
but like, yeah, he's got something. Let's just all all

375
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.400
back away and let him have his moment.

376
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.319
The one eyebrow goes up and then that that smirk happens,

377
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:12.039
and I'm like, okay, this is about to be a

378
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:13.359
great punch line.

379
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.119
Because he stews in it for a second, Like if

380
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.839
you watch it long enough, he stits in it for

381
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.440
a second. He's like like he's doing the wording in

382
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:25.920
his head.

383
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.960
And I'm like, oh yeah, because because once the eyebrow,

384
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.599
once the eyebrow hits its peak, that's when the light

385
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:33.559
bulb goes and he's got it.

386
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:36.079
Yeah, And I can see it, and you'll you'll see

387
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:36.680
me leaning back.

388
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.920
I'll just be like, take away buddy, Oh you my friend,

389
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:46.000
I don't know, just smit bulling here. Maybe don't buy shrimp,

390
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:46.880
but war.

391
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:52.119
Why is your word?

392
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.440
And I'll stand but I'll stand by that.

393
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:57.119
In general.

394
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:00.200
Yeah, hill trade.

395
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:09.079
Something fish sticks, fish sticks, right, that's the Gordon's fisherman rights.

396
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:12.079
That's what we're But if somebody was, like, if you

397
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.480
went to a party and somebody's walking by with a

398
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.799
plate of Walmart crab cakes, are you are you staying.

399
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:23.839
I'm not going near the crab cakes.

400
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.319
It funny you say that, because like when I go

401
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:28.240
when I go to the store, and in the seafood

402
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:30.680
section where there's the frozen seafood, it's like the big

403
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.480
box store, you know, like if you go into a

404
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:36.319
Costco or whatever. The one I go to in the

405
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:39.119
frozen food section, which is right next to the meat,

406
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:40.839
that's why I see it. I don't typically I'm not

407
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.440
going towards the frozen seafood, but I see it. In

408
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:49.039
the frozen seafood section, there's bags of various types of

409
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.480
fish and shellfish, and I'll see the name on it.

410
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:59.119
The name says see Best. But every time I see it,

411
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.119
my brain reads it as sea beast, and that's what

412
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:06.720
I assume they serve in those individually packaged frozen pieces

413
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.039
of fish.

414
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:16.119
Take away.

415
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:25.440
You live on an island surrounded by the sea.

416
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:32.240
You can just fish.

417
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:36.839
Yes, you are in the frozen food section because, like

418
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:40.039
I said, it's in the same aisle with the meat.

419
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:44.960
Like you go down the aisle at costumeless on the left,

420
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.759
and the left is like the ground meat, the steaks,

421
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.759
the chicken, the pork. On the right it's the frozen

422
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.759
seafood cabinet.

423
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:57.839
You also live on the isle. You live on an island,

424
00:26:58.519 --> 00:26:59.000
and I'm.

425
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:01.680
Going to share something with you that is very, very

426
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.599
catastrophic to common sense. When living on an island in

427
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:10.440
the Caribbean like I do, seafood, especially cheap seafood, is

428
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.079
actually difficult to come by.

429
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:15.480
Uh you mean the ocean.

430
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:19.640
Yes, right, it is. Now, I believe me. I'm with you.

431
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:23.759
The first, the first entree I ever ordered in these

432
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:29.000
islands was was blackened mahi with rice and vegetables. It

433
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:30.319
cost me twenty eight dollars.

434
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:33.279
Yeah, that was shamed of yourself.

435
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:35.400
That was in twenty fifteen.

436
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:37.759
You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.

437
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:43.200
As much as reasons for this, please joy, as.

438
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:44.799
Much as I hate to do this and bail Dan

439
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.359
out having visited him on the Island. I will have

440
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.640
to say I was shocked at the lack of seafood

441
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.279
options available.

442
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:56.680
Yeah, and there are a couple of reasons why. Number One,

443
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.039
the main fish in the Caribbean waters around here is mahi,

444
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.559
which is a generic white fish. It's just it's just

445
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.920
a white fish. It's there. It's like, okay, outside of that,

446
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:11.599
you get some snapper and.

447
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:16.759
The Kansas fish.

448
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:23.799
It is, it really is. It's the basic white fish.

449
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:25.119
Maybe a little math.

450
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:34.759
It's on all but but the mahi here really is.

451
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.400
I mean, it's like Caribbean waters, they're warm, and because

452
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.079
the water, because the water temperatures are warm, you don't

453
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:43.839
get as much good diversity with the marine life.

454
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:44.119
Right.

455
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.160
You go to some place like Alaska, a Maine, that's

456
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.039
where you get those big, crazy sized lobsters because that

457
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.720
water is dark and dingy and full of nutrients. Here

458
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.799
it's just pretty clear water, which is kind of ironic.

459
00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:59.759
When you see people snorkeling, it's like, you're not gonna

460
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.200
see it whole lot up up at the shore. It's

461
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.200
like a couple of white fish. That's it. You want

462
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:05.759
to see some stuff, you got to go out beat

463
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.240
and if you want to go fishing. To catch your

464
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:11.079
own fish, you need a really big pole.

465
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:15.200
There's so much irony.

466
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.680
It really is. It really is. You gotta go so

467
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.400
deep and keeping in mind rags when you buy some

468
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:24.680
when you buy stuff. And this goes back to what

469
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:27.279
I was saying. Paying almost thirty dollars for a plate

470
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:29.279
of fish that was caught in the water next to

471
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.680
the place I was ordering it, I realized, I'm not

472
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.279
paying just for the fish. I'm not paying just for

473
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:39.200
the cook to cook it. What we're paying for is

474
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:43.039
the astronomical price of electricity here is to be able

475
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.079
to eat that plate of food with the lights on.

476
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:48.839
The US Virgin Islands is in the top five places

477
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.119
in the world for electricity cost And I mean that's

478
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:54.240
why half the time our lights are out because the

479
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:56.240
company that runs it don't feel like turning it on

480
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:57.160
because it's pricey.

481
00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:59.440
I'm just saying, I'm Indian. I'll eat fish sticks in

482
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:05.119
the dark. I know where the catchup is.

483
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.319
So I mean the same thing could be said to you.

484
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:13.359
It's like you go to go to a seafood place

485
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:15.039
to get some fish when you could go to Lake

486
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.200
Louisville and you know, rip it out of an alligator's mouth,

487
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:19.440
just like anybody else.

488
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:26.920
First of all, do you think I fish.

489
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.000
You've known me, I get manicures.

490
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:36.200
You can take care of yourself and still go fishing.

491
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:38.200
That's not true at all.

492
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:43.440
Those two sentences have never happened together ever.

493
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:44.319
No, no, no.

494
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:46.880
My mother used to hold my hand and go, you'll

495
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:50.519
never do a hard day's work because your hands are

496
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:51.079
so soft.

497
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:53.279
That's correct, mama.

498
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:56.960
Maybe maybe we should normalize that hanging out with the guys,

499
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.200
drinking some beer, going fishing, and then ending the day

500
00:30:59.240 --> 00:30:59.960
with a manny patty.

501
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:05.400
I call going fishing going to nates. Uh. That's that's

502
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:07.640
pretty good. That's what I know.

503
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:10.839
In some places they will combine the two worlds, and

504
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:12.920
that's where you get the tiny fish. They eat all

505
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.440
the gunk off of your feet, you get the fishy pedicure.

506
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:21.319
I have done that in Bangkok. That it is very interesting.

507
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:23.920
I'm gonna take those two things you two just said

508
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:27.200
and isolate them and take them wildly out of context. Yes,

509
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.359
because in Bangkok it tickled.

510
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:34.079
Yeah, I was talking about the fish. I don't know

511
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:35.160
what Jerry was talking about.

512
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:37.119
It doesn't matter what you say here. I have those

513
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:42.000
two clips that will be isolated in perpetuity. No one

514
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:43.759
will know what you were referring to.

515
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:46.680
Notice how quiet I stayed on that one.

516
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.200
He's like, wants good clean audio on this was like

517
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:57.319
I did that in Leonard and you're like, I don't

518
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:05.039
think them was fish.

519
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:07.519

00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:06.400
Fred Day August twenty second, twenty twenty five, the day

533
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:10.400
we learned that that Raj had a fish pedicure.

534
00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:15.200
And it's also a pedicure. What that's a I'll tell you.

535
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.240
You almost said fist pedicure and I.

536
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:20.400
Was like, almost dead. Look, you went to Bangkok and

537
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.000
whatever happened happened.

538
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.079
I mean that that that did happen as well, but

539
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:25.599
that was not what I was talking about.

540
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:28.920
You had fish suck on your feet and you had

541
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.400
a fist do something whatever. It's Bangkok, I imagine, you know,

542
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:34.759
anything goes.

543
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:35.599
Yeah.

544
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:39.440
Anyway, today is Fred Day August twenty second, twenty twenty four,

545
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:44.720
I'm sorry, twenty twenty five birthdays today. British singer du

546
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:50.240
Aalipa turns thirty. If she couldn't sing, The good news

547
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.240
is if she couldn't sing, she'd still make a phenomenal

548
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:56.759
topless dancer, because I mean she kind of already is

549
00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:59.240
at her shows. I've seen a few clips online and

550
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:03.359
the she good.

551
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:09.360
Oh yeah, she's beautiful. Is she still dating Trevor and Noah?

552
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:10.559
I don't think she is at all.

553
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:12.400
Last she did before.

554
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.000
Yeah, I saw something a while back. It was like,

555
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:16.960
oh do it. It's like a TMZ thing that you

556
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:19.639
sent Raj. You sent a story to TMZ and then

557
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:21.599
over off on the side. It was like, do Alipa

558
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:24.119
on vacation with such and such boyfriend? But what.

559
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:30.840
Callum Turner? Okay whoever that is?

560
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:34.679
Well, uh, you know what hats off to him.

561
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:38.639
And Dua means blessings. It's a Muslim name. Book, Muslim

562
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.000
name means blessing.

563
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:46.679
Well, blessings upon her and anyone who's who's looking onto it.

564
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:49.880
Do.

565
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:53.519
Alipa turns thirty today. Ross Markwand is forty four. He

566
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:58.840
played Aaron in The Walking Dead. Does a phenomenal Matthew

567
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:05.000
McConaughey impersonation. And I always forget the actor's name. He

568
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:09.199
played the Red Skull in the first Captain America movie,

569
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:12.840
and I think it's the same actor who played Agent

570
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:18.679
Smith in the Matrix movies. Yes, So, Ross Markwand does

571
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:22.880
such a good impression of that actor that he's the

572
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.440
one voicing the Red Skeleton in Infinity War and Endgame,

573
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:30.480
not the actual actor that did it in the first

574
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:31.920
Captain America movie.

575
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:34.000
I was Hugo Weaving.

576
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:35.880
Hugo Weaving, thank you, Thank you, Jerry.

577
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:36.280
Yeah.

578
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:39.920
Ross markwan does such a good Hugo Weaving impersonation that

579
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:43.800
he took Hugo Weaving's role in the MCU or he's.

580
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.599
The only person that does a Hugo Weaving impersonation.

581
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:49.559
Yeah, And I think part of the reason why is

582
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:51.880
because Hugo Weaving was like I'm going to need more

583
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:56.480
money to reprise my role as the Red Skull, and

584
00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:59.719
they said, oh, I got bad news because there's this

585
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:03.000
other bro who does you for a lot cheaper.

586
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.880
It's in Iron Man.

587
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:08.840
It was Don Cheedle. Uh, We're good with you, buddy.

588
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:10.599
We can find somebody else through.

589
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:14.360
Marvel will find a way. Marvel is like life. Marvel

590
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:15.320
will find a way.

591
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.280
Yes.

592
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:19.800
The Another good example of that is Jerry helped me

593
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:26.039
with her name in Avengers Infinity War, the little like

594
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:29.599
the Warriors that Thanos sends out, the female one that

595
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:34.440
fights Captain America and Scarlett Johansson right, the female warrior.

596
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:38.480
I think it's Proximo whatever. A certain actress played that

597
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:43.159
role in Infinity War. When it came time for her

598
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:48.320
contract for Endgame, she wanted more money and Marvel said not,

599
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:51.800
We're good. So that's why she has no speaking role

600
00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:54.519
or anything it Avengers End Game. When she gets brought

601
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:57.760
back with Thanos's army, she's just there and immediately gets

602
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.199
smoked by the lady. From what it.

603
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:05.920
Started out as Carrie Coon and then she was replaced

604
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:07.519
with Carrie Woolgren.

605
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:10.280
With Hugo Weaving.

606
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:13.800
Keep in mind he's you know, following it from the

607
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:16.519
matrix and then Lord of the Rings. He wasn't hurting

608
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:17.880
for cash.

609
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:20.840
No you no, definitely not. It was just like, look,

610
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:23.679
here's here's here's here's my rate, and Marvel said no,

611
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:26.679
and he's like okay, And then they got some other

612
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:29.320
guy who just happened to have an impression of him.

613
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:31.880
Yeah, Hobbit money might be one of the few moneys

614
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:34.159
that's equal to Marvel money.

615
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:37.920
Yes, Harry Potter too.

616
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:49.239
I mean he might be the Lord of the Rings.

617
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:56.880
You're listening to the Treehouse visitors online that Treehouse on

618
00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:58.920
Air dot com.

619
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:00.880
What is it? RAJ looked like you had something.

620
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:04.320
Oh no, I'm sorry. I was thinking about something else.

621
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:05.800
Okay, all right, well, nothing to see here.

622
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:22.719
Then you're in the Treehouse.

623
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:34.119

625

Past shows, links, Contactic banboord in it all the day

626
00:38:42.559 --> 00:39:14.239
a Treehouse on Air dot com. All right, there actually

627
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:16.400
are a couple of other birthdays I want to throw

628
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:20.519
out before we take off for the end of the week.

629
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:26.800
Here inside the Treehouse, loosely related to the conversation we

630
00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:30.280
were having about Hugo Weaving not only being in the

631
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:35.320
MCU then replaced, he was also in the Hobbit movies.

632
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:40.840
Well he's not by himself. Richard Armitage is fifty four today.

633
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:48.239
He played Hydra assassin Heinz Krueger in Captain America and

634
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:56.679
Thorn Oakenshield, leader of the Dwarfs in the Hobbit movies. Yeah,

635
00:39:57.239 --> 00:39:58.880
we got both those checks.

636
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:01.119
Yep, ye nice.

637
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:03.159
That's one of those that I don't even know what

638
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:08.119
sort of royalties the original Lord of the Rings cast

639
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:13.000
members got from those films. But seeing as how they

640
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:19.320
all got out and got tattoos together, I don't know why.

641
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:21.239
I mean, sure it was a bonding thing, but I'm

642
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.039
also thinking that they're like, I'm assuming it was a

643
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:27.679
dollar sign that they got tattooed themselves.

644
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:29.920
Yeah. You really haven't seen a lot of Sean Aston

645
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:31.159
since then, And.

646
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:36.280
When I have seen him, I've seen a lot of

647
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:41.880
him because he looks like Aston, because he got that

648
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.599
Hobbit money. He's like, you got that Hobbit money. You

649
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:45.559
you're going to Sizzler.

650
00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:51.119
You got the second Breakfast Lunch in.

651
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:59.480
The Breakfast Club four fourth meal, ninth Lunch Night Lunch

652
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:02.800
I mean he did, he did do the was it

653
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.800
Stranger Things season? Yeah, two, two or three, whichever one

654
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:11.639
it was. But again, that's one of the things. He's

655
00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:14.119
doing it because he wants to. It's certainly not because

656
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:16.719
he needs to. And this is a guy who has

657
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:18.840
had a hell of a career, one of the few

658
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:22.760
Hollywood stars that started out as a child star and

659
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:28.960
survived it. Maybe partly do because he's from you know,

660
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:33.559
one of those Hollywood NEPO kids. Maybe they're better equipped

661
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:37.679
to deal with that stuff if their parents are also stars.

662
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:42.440
Maybe the training from Rudy helped, maybe you know, get

663
00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:45.119
get get him into the you know regiment of book

664
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.639
a diet and exercience.

665
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:49.360
And yeah, well you know what might have gotten him

666
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:52.599
in shape to play Rudy was the role he played

667
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:59.880
in nineteen ninety one's action packed epic Toy Soldiers that you.

668
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:01.639
And eight other people saw.

669
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:09.440
Ryan and Will Wheaton with whe and Jerry m.

670
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:15.239
Yeah, he started out with that Goonies money he did.

671
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:18.719
That's what that's true. It was one of he's one

672
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:21.639
of the few Hollywood, you know, child actors that has

673
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:25.679
not really had any major blips along his career. He's

674
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:28.920
actually seemed to be pretty normal as much as you

675
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:29.320
can be.

676
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:33.159
Well, it's I was just googling it, and he only

677
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:36.320
technically made two hundred and fifty thousand for the Lord

678
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:36.960
of the Rings.

679
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:38.639
But also there's a.

680
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:41.440
Deal that says none of the cast they all agreed

681
00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:44.360
to not disclose what they made off that third and

682
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.440
final Lord of the Rings the Return of the King.

683
00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:50.440
And I'm guessing if they if he was working for

684
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.400
two hundred and fifty thousand, he was getting points on

685
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:53.000
the back end.

686
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:57.639
Oh for sure, he's oh, yeah, suck he good.

687
00:42:58.159 --> 00:42:58.480
Yeah.

688
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:02.000
I mean it's like Keanu Reeves gave the Matrix. I

689
00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:05.199
think the last Matrix. He gave his money to the

690
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:06.760
cast outside the crew.

691
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:07.679
Mm hmm.

692
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:11.039
Because he made so much backend money on the first two.

693
00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:13.159
He's like, do you guys keep this?

694
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:16.760
Yeah, I don't know. He's he's very giving. It's like,

695
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:18.679
I don't need all this. Besides, I'm about to go

696
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:20.679
make six john Wick films.

697
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:26.800
Which Ballerina came out, and it's like, I'll make that

698
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:27.280
one too.

699
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:28.880
Sure sounds good.

700
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:32.119
But have you ever seen the deal where they were

701
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:37.039
about to nix the john Wick the first one? Oh yeah,

702
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:41.000
and Eva Longoria like showed six million dollars to keep

703
00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:41.400
it going.

704
00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:43.239
She's the producer.

705
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:46.679
Yeah, well and now she owns a soccer team, so.

706
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:51.119
Now she owns Manchester United.

707
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.440
Yeah, it just really goes to show. I mean, you

708
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:57.760
can invest in the video all you want, but if

709
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.079
you can buy a couple of shares a key ONU

710
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:01.519
reves you doing good.

711
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:02.639
Yeah.

712
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:04.400
They were going to shut it down and he kind

713
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:07.440
of went to her and was like, you know, the

714
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:11.639
movie's over, and she Trey said, pulled out six million

715
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:12.639
dollars and was like.

716
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.559
To me, that's also odd because it's not like Keanu

717
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:18.079
didn't have it. I don't know why he didn't fork

718
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:18.440
it over.

719
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:21.440
Oh he put in some of his That's why he's

720
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:23.119
also one of the executive producers.

721
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:26.480
So he put man they just still needed more.

722
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:30.559
Yes, yeah, so uh and now they own the world.

723
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:34.880
They're the rothschilds. That's who they are. They're the Illuminati,

724
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:36.400
that's they are.

725
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.000
Yeah, it turns out the Illuminati isn't as bad as

726
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:43.599
you think it is. The Illuminati can't do anything geopolitically

727
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:46.559
because they're too busy making john Wick Films.

728
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:49.119
Also goes WHOA.

729
00:44:50.239 --> 00:45:04.360
So that's actually the slogan for the Illuminati. Now for

730
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.400
all things Treehouse, go to Treehouse on air, dot com,

And just and to just put a boat's eye on

733

the entire week. And clearly the Illuminati love hot latinas too.

735

736
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:40.840
