00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.079
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.719
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
3
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:44.679
Trade Trendholm and Jerry Caldwell on Wednesday, January eighth, twenty
4
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.960
twenty five. Frage is still out with the flu. But
5
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.600
that's okay because we're not. We are a flu resistant
6
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:02.840
here inside the treehouse or the and we'll get into
7
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.599
that a little bit more here in just a little bit.
8
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.239
But I wanted to start the show today with some
9
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.959
really really really good news.
10
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:12.640
Excellent.
11
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:17.680
Yeah. I know it's early into the new year, but
12
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.519
every victory we can get we need to take and
13
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:31.159
appreciate and celebrate. Congratulations everyone, We've done it. Murder hornets
14
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.640
have been wiped out in the United States.
15
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:37.120
Good job.
16
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:38.719
That's the wrong.
17
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.560
Kind of fine. Here we go. Good job everybody. Excellent,
18
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:58.840
jaxxcellent because ah h, thank you, thank you.
19
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.040
Not only is that good because they were scary, oh yeah,
20
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.319
but also good for bees. We seem to be doing
21
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.759
a better job of protecting.
22
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:19.000
We're taking better care of bees than ourselves. No, it
23
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.039
really is. It actually is good news. We have wiped
24
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:27.000
out murder hornets in the United States five years after
25
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.599
being spotted for the first time in Washington State near
26
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.000
the Canadian border. The world's largest hornet has been declared
27
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.680
eradicated in the United States. I still remember this five
28
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.759
years ago. It's not quite a Kennedy moment, but I
29
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.960
remember five years ago the first headline I saw that
30
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.400
said murder hornets infiltrate United States. I mean, I just
31
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.520
got a chill thinking about it, Like, my God, remember that,
32
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.479
that's one of the best headlines I've ever seen, because
33
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.759
it really made me not only want to read that story,
34
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.479
but I felt like I needed to. I need to
35
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.439
know what the hell a murder hornet is.
36
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.840
I just remember that that news coming out during COVID,
37
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.520
and it's like, well, jeez, what's next, Oh, murder hornets.
38
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.520
Exactly, as if things weren't as if things were not
39
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.879
bad enough with everything going on in the world with
40
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.400
COVID and masks and mandates and all these things, then
41
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.280
we get murder hornets to deal with that. Honestly, at
42
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.439
that point, that was okay, staying home murder hornets. I'm
43
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.759
sure there was even a conspiracy theorist who said murder
44
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.080
hornets aren't real. It's just to just another way for
45
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.039
the government to keep you in your house. At that point,
46
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:42.919
I was like, fine, they went, I'm staying in the house.
47
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.000
But yeah. Known for its dangerous sting and ability to
48
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:52.520
slaughter a honey beehive in a matter of hours, the
49
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.360
murder hornet, thank god, eradicated in the United States. The
50
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.879
Washington and the United States Departments of Acculture announced the eradication
51
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.319
last week, saying there had been no detections of murder
52
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.280
hornets in Washington since twenty twenty one. Why are they
53
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.199
just not telling us? I feel like that should have
54
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.279
come out before. I guess they just wanted to make sure, right. Yeah,
55
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.279
I got like a remission period kind of thing.
56
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.360
Yeah. Good on them for actually taking some time and
57
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.959
making sure that that information was correct.
58
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.639
It's actually funny when you think about it, because we
59
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.759
were more careful about the eradication and announcement of murder
60
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.279
hornets than we were COVID vacsy. We're like, we got one,
61
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.319
We're pretty sure, it's okay, everyone'll take it. Four years later,
62
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.120
we've wiped out the murder hornets.
63
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.519
Speaking of though, four years later, have you heard the
64
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.360
term quademic? H?
65
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:50.839
No, what is that?
66
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.079
Please tell me there's not four more levels of murder hornets.
67
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:03.120
No, it's some cities are sording a quademic and uh
68
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.360
and some even talking about bringing back mask mandates.
69
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.120
It went so well the first time.
70
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:18.040
Well yeah, so let's so uh Now the quademic is flu, covid, RSV,
71
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.000
and neurovirus.
72
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.959
Uh okay, let's go through those real quick, one by one.
73
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:31.160
The first one again flu okay, know what the flu is.
74
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.439
Then the second one covid.
75
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.079
We all know what covid is. What was the third one?
76
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:41.120
R s V?
77
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.879
I don't know that one by the initials and the
78
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.519
and the last one was norovirus.
79
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:47.480
Uhh.
80
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.560
The nora virus is the one I know of because
81
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.240
that's like the cruise ship illness. That's the one that
82
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.959
usually leads to vomiting and diarrhea on cruise ships. What's
83
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:56.079
the what's the R s v.
84
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:06.480
U respiratory sink sink yell virus? Basically, it's uh the
85
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.480
crud pneumonia, It's it's a respiratory illness.
86
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.639
Okay, I was gonna ask is it is it the
87
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.079
pukes or the poops? But it's in the middle.
88
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.480
Yeah. Yeah, the neuro virus. You're absolutely cracked. That's the
89
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.480
they call it the winter vomiting disease.
90
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.560
Just fire, fire up the uh the Game of Thrones.
91
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:34.560
Mem now winter is coming. No, I did not realize
92
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.360
now we have a quademic to to worry. To me
93
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.240
that just again scare tactics. It sounds like they're just
94
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:48.279
you know, trying to scare us all. Look, can't we
95
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.800
just be happy that there are no more murder hornets.
96
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.480
Can't we just appreciate a w instead of focusing on
97
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:56.560
the four ls we're.
98
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.720
About to be handed, not with a a arp around.
99
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:09.839
Doom and gloom. Okay, well go ahead, dy.
100
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.879
I just I mean, we look back on it now,
101
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.199
and I realize at the time the government was doing
102
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.720
the best they could and what they thought, but obviously,
103
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:27.800
in hindsight, a lot of bad decisions. And I say
104
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.560
that because they're gonna have a hard time when the
105
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.519
next time something truly serious comes around in getting anyone
106
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.040
to lock down, wear a mask, or do anything like that.
107
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:38.480
Right.
108
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.759
I still remember thinking seeing people postings like, uh, oh
109
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.519
it was lockdown and it'll all be gone and now
110
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.000
it's worse. Well, the guy that's saying that is the
111
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.360
guy that was running all around town who didn't do lockdown.
112
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.360
If we all actually had stayed in our houses and stuff,
113
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:04.120
it might have been. But whatever, you can't you can't
114
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.000
tell us all what to do. We're all we're all rebels,
115
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.600
but no one, no one likes being told what to do.
116
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.279
Well, I think they've pretty much figured out that the
117
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:15.519
lockdowns really didn't do.
118
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:17.920
Because no one did it.
119
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.079
No, that's not true, because it was air.
120
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.079
Some people did it, but a lot of people also
121
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:24.759
didn't do it.
122
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:29.399
So but the death rates really weren't changed. I mean
123
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:34.039
it was especially in those beginning the beginning variants of COVID.
124
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.679
It just it was everywhere. Even people that were locked down,
125
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.120
they got it like it was just it seems like
126
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.360
some people just had a predisposition to get it. And unfortunately,
127
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.799
but then like the schools, kids weren't getting it the
128
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.080
school thing, because that really screwed up a generation that
129
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.399
they lost a year of schooling.
130
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.519
But at least they didn't get stung by any murder horne.
131
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:02.919
They might have.
132
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.039
You know why they didn't because they stayed therest at home.
133
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:12.840

That's Treehouse on Air at gmail dot com to advertise
140
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.480
right here inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan along with Trey
141
00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:00.279
and Jerry. Today on Wednesday, January eighth, twenty twenty we
142
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.559
started out in some good news about how murder hornets
143
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.960
have been eradicated in the United States. There's now a
144
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:10.159
quademic that's being reported with the four illnesses that we
145
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.080
all have to be watching out for. And while I
146
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.080
started with some good news, there is a fair amount
147
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.879
of bad news because while the murder hornets are gone
148
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.799
and scary illnesses are still around that can kill us,
149
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.600
that's not the only thing that can kill us in
150
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:30.120
this fair world. Because recently the twenty twenty four statistics
151
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:36.200
were compiled of the deadliest animals in the world. The
152
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:40.360
deadliest animals in the world, ranked by the number of
153
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:45.440
people they kill each year. Okay, are you ready ready?
154
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:55.159
Here we go shark ten deaths per year. Ten deaths
155
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.120
per year via Shark. I would like to point out
156
00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:59.600
that is one of the ways in which I hope
157
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.279
I don't I don't want to. I do not want
158
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.440
to get eaten. I really, I really cannot stress that enough.
159
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.639
It's not necessarily an illogical fear, because it is possible
160
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.240
I do spend some time in the ocean. I'm really
161
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.799
afraid of going to Africa at all because of all
162
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:18.879
the things there that want to eat me, some of
163
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.559
which will be on this list. I really really really
164
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.879
not that you guys get any say in this, but
165
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.360
I really really really don't want to get eaten. Okay,
166
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.440
if I get eaten while snorkeling, don't you dare say
167
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.360
at my funeral that I die doing what I love.
168
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:39.159
I do not love being eaten. I like snorkeling. But
169
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.399
at no time in my life did I ever think
170
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.519
I don't care if I die doing this. No, that's
171
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:48.360
that's I don't want to know. Are we all clear?
172
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.519
If I get eaten, I was unhappy about it. Okay,
173
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.720
So sharks are responsible for ten human deaths per year.
174
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.639
I keep in mind some of those aren't necessarily because
175
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.440
they got eaten. That's just you know, one bite and
176
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.200
you know blood loss. They may maybe maybe they made
177
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.039
it back to shore, but they still died. Also, at
178
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:14.679
ten deaths per year, wolves wolves still still making a
179
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.440
name for themselves, killing ten people per year.
180
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:18.720
I find that surprising.
181
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:23.360
I don't.
182
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:25.519
I don't either. I mean, if you're out in the
183
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.320
wilderness somewhere, I mean, it's it's not one you gotta
184
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:29.440
worry about it. It's the fifty.
185
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.519
Well. Also, I don't think people realize how big wolves are.
186
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.759
I don't. I'm with I don't.
187
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:44.600
Yeah, Like wolves are more great Dane sized than so. Yeah,
188
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.720
and they hunt and pack. They're very smart.
189
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.919
Unless you're Liam Neeson. Unless you're Liam Neeson, in which
190
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.440
case you stand a chance you can just you know,
191
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.360
put some put on, strap some glass to your to
192
00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:00.480
your fists and go wolf punching. You're gonna say, Kevin Costner, No,
193
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:04.840
he dances with wolves in uh. In Liam Neeson's movie,
194
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.279
he punches wolves. That one's called gray. They called it gray,
195
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:16.320
But had they called it punches Wolves, Oscar or wolf Puncher,
196
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.840
that's what it should have been called. Liam Neeson is
197
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.480
wolf Puncher. See Oh, I get chills. For the record,
198
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.679
I'm being I am being silly, but it's actually a
199
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.120
really good movie. It's called gray.
200
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:27.919
It's good.
201
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:34.480
One hundred deaths per year attributed to lions. Again, I
202
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.399
don't want to get eaten. I don't want to get
203
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:38.879
eaten by a shark. I don't want to get eaten
204
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.519
by wolves, and I definitely don't want to get it
205
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:47.240
eaten by by lions. Okay, lions one hundred deaths per year. Hippos.
206
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.440
Hippos are extremely dangerous. This is what the numbers really escalate. Again.
207
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.440
I don't know if you noticed, but other than the wolves,
208
00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:01.039
every creature I've mentioned is in and around Africa. Hippopotamus
209
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.600
five hundred deaths per year. Five hundred deaths per year
210
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:11.679
via hippopotamus. Another creature on this list that is calling
211
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.519
Africa home crocodiles. Crocodiles, how many deaths a year do
212
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.919
you think crocodiles are given credit for?
213
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.840
I don't know, because hippos for the longest time word
214
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:30.120
number one on the list of taking Yeah, taking live
215
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:35.879
so and crocs are everywhere. So I.
216
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:43.440
One thousand, wow, one thousand, one thousand people killed per
217
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:44.720
year by crocodiles.
218
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:45.600
Wow.
219
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:53.039
I don't want to get eaten rolled right now, this
220
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:54.559
one might come as a bit of a shock, but
221
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.559
when you think about it, it makes sense. Twenty five
222
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:04.799
thousand people are killed every year by dogs, more than wolves,
223
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:08.120
more than hippos, more than crocodiles, more than lions, more
224
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.960
than sharks. The dog is extremely deadly. Twenty five thousand
225
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:18.360
humans killed per year by dog. Then there's snake. Fifty
226
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:23.960
thousand deaths per year from snakes.
227
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:26.120
That's surprising.
228
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.159
I was.
229
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:29.200
I'm with you, I was a little surprised by that
230
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.679
by that number as well. Is this worldwide? Yeah, this
231
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.440
is definitely worldwide. Yet No, it's what do you think
232
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.759
you think this is the Hill Country numbers, Jerry?
233
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:45.799
I mean, Frederick Burg's got some serious.
234
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:52.960
Serious uh, you know, lions, but yees, snake's fifty thousand
235
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.919
deaths per year, and then four hundred and seventy five
236
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:01.600
thousand people killed each year by this What do you
237
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:06.519
think it is mosquitoes?
238
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.519
No, I think that's a four higher number.
239
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.240
Humans, humans killing humans. Four hundred and seventy five thousand
240
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:19.159
deaths per year.
241
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.320
I find that hard to believe. But in the other.
242
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.720
Direction, yeah, that seems like a low number.
243
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:31.399
One seventy five. Wow, we've been behaving ourselves lately.
