1
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.399
It is time to leave your worries
outside and join me, Dan O'Malley,

2
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:40.799
Trade Trendholm, and Raj Sharma right
here inside the Treehouse. Today is Friday,

3
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:49.960
April twelfth, twenty twenty four.
Today we will cover such topics as

4
00:00:51.880 --> 00:01:04.719
naked with an axe. Sorry,
I'm just thinking into the future, also

5
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.920
a less intense scrabble. But before
we get to any of that, we

6
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.840
must first discuss the biggest thing that
happened this week in all of North Texas,

7
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.680
the Great American Eclipse as I saw
it referred to a few times,

8
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.280
or as Steve Noviello, the very
handsome guest inside the Treehouse occasionally from Fox

9
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:36.439
four said, few things live up
to the hype. This was one of

10
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:42.719
them. And he wasn't just talking
about his dreamy blue wiyes. He was

11
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:49.000
actually talking about the eclipse. Me
here in the US Virgin Islands. I

12
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.040
posted what I saw of the eclipse, which was a bunch of clouds with

13
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.400
the sun behind it, and I
couldn't see anything, Not that I could

14
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.840
have seen it even if there were
no clouds, because there was only going

15
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.000
to be a sliver of it covering
up the sun. We get here,

16
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:08.960
but in North Texas. You guys, you reached totality, and the photos,

17
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:17.800
the videos that I saw from Totality
in North Texas honestly lived up to

18
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.879
the hype. The weather was not
bad. You could see it clearly.

19
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.560
Everything went dark for a while and
it came back on, so we know

20
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:35.560
it wasn't urkhot. So gentlemen,
how was your eclipse? I've caught now

21
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.439
I say this. If I had
traveled or done anything out of the ordinary,

22
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.639
I don't know that I would have
the same thing. But just on

23
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.520
the event itself, I walked outside, had daisy, the neighbors had the

24
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.680
dogs. It was kind of like
a little communal event. It was really

25
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.560
cool. It was the one thing
I remember from the eclipse in seventy nine

26
00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.479
that I is how I think when
the sun goes, you know, the

27
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.560
temperature changed in the middle of the
day. It's just it's a very cool

28
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.240
event. It was fun. I
you know, I would not have traveled

29
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.039
thousands of miles or you know the
fact that I mean a Best Western in

30
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.159
Grand Prairie was going for four hundred
bucks and there were no rental cars in

31
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:20.319
the city. You know, I
don't if I had spent some money like

32
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.439
that. I think I might feel
short changed or but but I don't know.

33
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.639
People really enjoyed it. I mean
I was shocked at the bar We

34
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.599
had people Germany, England, South
America, I mean all over the world.

35
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:37.960
We're here for this event. And
in general everyone enjoyed it. It

36
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.919
was cool, Like I thought,
like I heard people like oath and tears

37
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.319
and I'm like, wait in why, like did you stare at it?

38
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.560
Is that what happened? Yeah?
Actually actually there Uh the immediately after the

39
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:58.280
eclipse, searches on Google for why
do my eyes hurt? Skyrocketed. I'm

40
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.639
not making that up, that's true. Uh. Yeah, And then did

41
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:08.719
release a statement saying that they felt
the effects of the eclipse. Really they

42
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:12.840
did. They did release a statement
saying that the effects of the eclipse were

43
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:17.759
felt direct. Here's a secret.
Yeah, so the power relies on the

44
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:27.279
sun. Don't tell them. If
they don't know, then there's no hope

45
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:31.199
Already. I saw one release and
it really did. It was like Urkott

46
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:38.560
says that power dipped during the eclipse, and I was like, they released,

47
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.439
don't say. One of my favorite
things that I saw was from a

48
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:47.360
congressman I think who had posted on
social media saying how see you can't,

49
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.120
basically saying you can't rely on the
sun. This is why you need to

50
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:57.160
depend on fossil fuels. Oh yeah, you can't, because the sun could

51
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.800
have an eclipse, you can't.
You can't depend on that as a power.

52
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.360
So I guess he didn't stop to
think about how the sun goes down

53
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.360
every single night, but it still
comes up the next day and can power

54
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:10.040
things. But that was I don't
know what it was about the eclipse.

55
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:15.319
It brought out the worst and so
many people. It was sort of like

56
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:19.720
our tree house, which is typically
full of stupid, right, because that's

57
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.600
the stupid is this is the treehouses
where stupid comes to breed. And for

58
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.720
that one day during the total eclipse, it's like the tree house full of

59
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:40.319
stupid spread across North Texas well and
and and made everybody dumber. Now,

60
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.759
But I mean, I can't argue
with that. But I also will say

61
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.399
this, anytime there's an event where
news anchors have to fill automatically, you

62
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:54.319
know, you just need to an
addition for to the treehouse. Yeah yeah,

63
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.040
yeah, they really should. I
mean, I mean it's look,

64
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:03.120
we've been doing this show and in
various forms on various formats with various people

65
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:09.879
for a long time, and we
know stupid and so that's that's that's why

66
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.000
when we see it, we know
it, and that's also why we talk

67
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:18.600
about it. It's actually it's actually
was a perfect timing. It's sort of

68
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:25.000
like Baine versus Batman. We're the
bane of stupid. Batman just kind of

69
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.040
plays with it. But we're bane. We're the ones we were born in

70
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:35.319
the stupid I was watching. I
just this is this is also another thing,

71
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.360
like how lazy have we become?
When they were live streaming and eclipse,

72
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.759
when you could just I mean,
for for a lot of people just

73
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.560
go outside. But they're like,
if you don't want a CNN said this

74
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.480
and it was brilliant. They go, if you don't want to go outside,

75
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.800
just turn on the TV. Like, is this what we're going?

76
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.439
We can't. We're not even encouraging
going outside. Now that's what we're doing.

77
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.319
And they had one of the anchors
was interviewing an astronaut and this was

78
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.480
a direct quote and I was like, you you said that out loud.

79
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.800
She's like, so, what's what's
more? What's more magical? The eclipse

80
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:14.519
that you just witnessed, or the
four spacewalks you did, And I was

81
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.319
like, I was like, is
that a real because you should have seen

82
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.720
the look on his face was like, I'm gonna go with space idiots.

83
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.879
That was a direct quote from this
lady. Oh my god. What was

84
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.120
more magical the eclipse that you just
witnessed in totality? And he was an

85
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.040
older guy, so he's like he
was sweet. He's like, you know,

86
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.600
I'm not going to be around for
the next one, Like yeah,

87
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.360
so was it as magical as space? And he's like that was pretty cool?

88
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:56.639
Like, Mama, was it?
No, he's hilarious. Yeah,

89
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.560
No, it's you mean being strapped, so you know, millions of pounds

90
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.839
of jet fuel being propelled and propelled
into space the waitlessness, not the eclipse

91
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:13.439
by far away or yeah, does
it, sir? Doesn't that comparison to

92
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.319
looking up? Yeah, She's like
he goes. At one point, he

93
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.079
goes, well, you know,
I got to see the Earth from outside

94
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:30.120
the space shuttle, Like yeah,
you win, Bud was all the eclipse.

95
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.080
He's only like out of out of
what tins of people that have done

96
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.960
what he's done. Yeah, Yeah, And that's it's a great example of

97
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.840
the eclipse. It's it not only
dimmed the lights, but it also dimmed

98
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.240
people's brains. Yeah, and you
can tell, like you know, they

99
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.000
have producers in their ears, like
basically like, hey, so go ahead

100
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.279
and ask him right now, like
well, how does this compare to space?

101
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.360
And instead of asking, you know, well, this is kind of,

102
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.879
you know, in another scientific phenomen
on, like how does that?

103
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.759
You know, how does it compare
to your travels into space? She was

104
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.919
like, which one's more magical?
I was like, what if I was

105
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.240
the producer, I'm like, I
didn't say that part. Don't ask him

106
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.360
that. Yeah, trust me as
someone who's dealt with a person who really

107
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.639
didn't like to follow the script.
A lot. Anchors need to follow the

108
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.039
script because there's a reason for it, and sometimes if you go off of

109
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.879
it, bad things happen. And
that's a great example of it, because

110
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:35.000
what you just described is a producer
saying ask this, and the anchor think

111
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.639
you actually, I keep stop right
there, just the anchor thinking is the

112
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.000
problem. And then the anchor thought, oh, I can reword this into

113
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.600
my own words and make it better, and she didn't make it worse.

114
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:52.679
The other thought would be is the
producer just screwing with the anchor by saying

115
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.759
ask him which was more magical?
Oh yeah, that'd be hilarious because maybe

116
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.559
they had maybe yeah, maybe they
got into a fight at the previous news

117
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.320
meeting and the producer didn't appreciate something
that the anchor said, or vice versus.

118
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:15.120
Another producer is just going to feed
bad questions into their ear. I

119
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.320
would just do that, That's I
mean, yeah, I would. As

120
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.200
if I was a producer, I
wouldn't do that. It'd be like,

121
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.600
hey, here's what I need you
to ask him. Uh, don't don't

122
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.320
go off script and just say,
hey, you know, this is like,

123
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.759
this is science and we're you know, we're in the presence of it.

124
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.679
You've done this for You've gone to
space four times, but for us,

125
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.600
this is like, this is a
cool event. What what how do

126
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.440
you feel about it? Instead of
going Which one do you think is better

127
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.840
being in space? That's the dumbest
question I've heard. Which one's better just

128
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.159
writing in a space shuttle? Or
it got cool for it got eight degrees

129
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.600
cooler for two minutes? Which one? Which one did you like better?

130
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.440
I thought it was really neat.
I didn't have that experience that people were

131
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.919
talking about like that were on the
news or people that were chiming in on

132
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.519
social media, like you know,
it brought me to tears, and I

133
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.200
was just so emotional over it.
I was like, okay, I mean

134
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.080
it was pretty it was pretty dope
to watch it, like you know,

135
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.320
actually happen and go the whole thing
and then you could take the glasses off

136
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.399
and look at it for a couple
of minutes. But that was that was

137
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.159
that. When it was done,
I was like, cool, what's for

138
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.120
lunch? This is like a meaningful
moment in my lifetime. I mean,

139
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.840
yeah, how many people I could? I'm with you. It's like,

140
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.440
it's a cool event. I've seen
a couple of eclipses. To me,

141
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:43.480
it's not a it's not necessarily a
life changing thing, but I can understand

142
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.600
how some people maybe maybe some people
are just more in tune with their emotions,

143
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.919
or maybe they're just more in tune
with space. I don't, I

144
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.799
don't, I have no idea.
I don't know anybody that was spiritually or

145
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.600
physically moved by I mean I read
a few people online on different Facebook posts

146
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.080
were like this was just so magical. It brought me to tears, and

147
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.840
I was like, wonderful, Like
is that I want to know the demographic

148
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.080
of the people that cried, Like, is it like people like I'm not

149
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.919
going to be around twenty two years
from now when this happens again. I

150
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.200
think that's it. I think it's
age related because you realize this is going

151
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.639
to be your last eclipse. Kind
of like the dude in fort Worth who's

152
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.799
one hundred and five years old,
and I think this one was like his

153
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.879
thirteenth eclips to witness and he's probably
well aware this was going to be the

154
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.320
last one. He's one hundred and
five and it just went over his house.

155
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.840
I'm surprised that he didn't die right
then and there, which would have

156
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.879
been a cool thing. I mean, that's you know. I'm just I

157
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.000
saw Haley's comment when I was I
think five, and I'm just trying to

158
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.919
make it to the next time it
swings back around, so then my life

159
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.200
can be bookended. Would you be
Holly's comment if you saw when you were

160
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.600
five, wouldn't you be seventy seven? Isn't it every seventy two years now?

161
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.519
I believe I'll be like eighty one
or eighty two when it comes back

162
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.480
around seventy six years Yep. Interesting, okay, I will, yeah,

163
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.039
that I was. And now I'm
kind of worried about it because when I

164
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.519
was five years old and Holly's Haley
Holly's, I never know which one it

165
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.600
is. When the comet first came
around when I was five, for the

166
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.320
first time for me to see it. When when Haley's commet first came around

167
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.720
when I was five, it was
a massive worldwide thing for a few days

168
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:26.639
because it took some time, you
know, to go by. We've all

169
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.799
gotten dumber since then. It seems
we made a huge deal out of the

170
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.519
eclipse and said some really stupid things
out of the eclipse, and eclipse has

171
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.200
happened way more often than Haley's comet
comes around. So I'm actually genuinely worried

172
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.320
about when it comes back what we're
gonna make of it, just based on

173
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.080
what we said about this most recent
eclipse. But they did say, like

174
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.879
I was watching when physicists say that
the cosmic lining up of this eclipse probably

175
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.919
will never ever happen again. Yeah, because it's it was the perfect deal

176
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.720
of you know that the fact that
the Sun is four hundred times larger than

177
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.559
the moon, and it was perfectly
four hundred times the distance from the moon,

178
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.360
and so it just lined up perfectly. Said yeah, yes, you

179
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.960
will have other eclipses, but chances
are it won't be like this now with

180
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.399
you. Yeah, I don't understand
the tears, but I also understand.

181
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.879
You know, people lose their mind
for full moons anyways, So people crying.

182
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:28.440
It really wasn't that surprising, and
I don't understand it, but yeah

183
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.799
I did. There's a park then
that's directly behind our place, and that's

184
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.200
where we went to go watch it, and there are people in the park,

185
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.960
and I was like, okay,
this is kind of cool, like

186
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.639
people are gathering for it. There
was one way I was like, she

187
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.039
didn't come out here for no goddamn
eclipse. She came out to talk to

188
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.639
people because she's I don't know if
she had no friends. She literally had

189
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:52.720
her chair like in the cove of
like this set of trees, like there

190
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.679
was a little little area that you
can set it, and it was nowhere,

191
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.320
like you from where she was sitting, you couldn't see the eclipse,

192
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.159
and she was just adding away with
the people in the park. I'm like,

193
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.399
she's not here for the eclipse.
She's lonely, like that's all that

194
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.759
is for the people she's here because
she doesn't talk to folks all day long.

195
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.879
Ago no, if the kids don't
visit anymore. I don't know what

196
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.159
it was, but she was who
I was watching. I was like,

197
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.399
that's hilarious. I was pleasantly surprised
that there were no like, you know,

198
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.360
you didn't find that there was some
secret cult that we know thought that

199
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.960
this eclipse was there, uh you
know, ticket to uh you know space

200
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.799
and you know, some mass suicide
or anything like that that were aware of.

201
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.519
She may just not have been discovered
yet. Oh that'd be so good.

202
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.399
It's like the what the hail Bop
guys, what was Yeah? The

203
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.200
hell, yeah it was. It
was the Heavenly Gate people with the hail

204
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.200
Bop comment. That thing came around
and they thought that was there. That

205
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.159
was their moment. That was the
time to drink the you know, can

206
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.879
I just death juice and lay down
on bunk beds wearing black nikes and purple

207
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.559
shrouds and let's go hook up with
the mother ship. But that's after they

208
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.200
also self cast traded themselves, so
some of them, well the men yes,

209
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.600
well no, no, no,
if you actually there is a few

210
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:15.559
that didn't. Amazing the higher ups
didn't. I just here's my question,

211
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:21.279
and even for listeners, like just
chime and send this to me on my

212
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:26.399
social media whatever. How how charming? Like? How do you convince a

213
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.159
group of people to do this?
Like? I don't know. I would

214
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:33.720
consider myself a charming guy. I
perform on stage, people seem to like

215
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.799
me. I consider myself charming,
But I could never in a million years.

216
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.840
I don't think sit a group of
people down and went, hey,

217
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.279
here's the deal. See those nikes, put them on, so your nuts

218
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.600
to take them off. Let's let's
all jump on this comment that's gonna come

219
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.039
get us and have them go yeah, roch sounds good. I don't know

220
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.600
how you do. Here's the thing. Have you tried I I will show

221
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.360
you the post I did say I
wanted to start a cult on I posted

222
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.039
that on Facebook. I say,
that's that's your first mistake. You can't

223
00:17:03.079 --> 00:17:07.599
you can't. You can't call it
out. You can't tell people that it's

224
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.920
a cult. Oh okay, we'll
you'll do realize. There's a series on

225
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:17.759
Netflix called How to Become a cult
leader. Okay, now I do.

226
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.200
And uh, that's not that's not
a series. That's an instructional video for

227
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:26.599
me. It's there's this whole you
know series and it's all narrated by Peter

228
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.920
Dinklic who actually does fabulous voice work. But it's like how to become a

229
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.160
tyrant, how to become a cult
leader. And there's a couple others they're

230
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.359
fantastic, but this one it goes
through Jim Jones and all the other like

231
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.160
even the hell Bop people. I
got it. I got to see how

232
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.240
the hell Bop people got it,
Like, I don't know how you convince

233
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.920
people to do that. It started
like, you know, twenty five years

234
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.920
earlier, and it was this couple
and it just started taking people in.

235
00:17:53.039 --> 00:18:00.279
And then it's watched that special.
Yeah. I mean I've had House Guess

236
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.640
before too, but nobody's like,
hey, I've never been able to go

237
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.240
what are these clothes? Rip your
nuts off and let's go, let's go,

238
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.799
let's get on that's right, that's
my phone. And then and then

239
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.440
hand them the bottle of something and
say here, drink this, drink this,

240
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.960
and nobody goes, what are we
doing? Get out? We need

241
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.880
to get out of this man's house. I think there's something wrong with this.

242
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.039
Uh yeah, so, I mean
I don't. I'm surprised there wasn't

243
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.160
one. I would be I'd be
stunned if they don't come out with something

244
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:32.200
like the we found fifteen bodies in
Buenos Aires and it's because they were all

245
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:36.240
about to jump on the eclipse.
But yeah, it was cool. I

246
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:41.160
thought it was a fantastic phenomenon.
Like I was like this when I was

247
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.079
watching it. Pretty rad. Not
gonna lie, but yeah, I mean

248
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:51.640
I didn't have the the the tears
in my eyes as some some folk did.

249
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.279
Well, that's because you got surrounded
by a whole lot as stupid,

250
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:59.000
Like a lot of the conspiracy theories
leading up to the eclipse, people claiming

251
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.920
they were going to be mass of
power outages, there were going to be

252
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:08.599
cell service interruptions, that you had
elected officials saying it was God sending us

253
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:15.119
messages to repent for our sins.
Alex Jones even said the government was going

254
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:19.920
to use it as an excuse to
declare martial law or or or to practice

255
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:27.839
for declaring martial law. Wow.
Again, So the eclipse brought out all

256
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:33.160
this nonsense and you know what's funny
is what I enjoyed about it more than

257
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.559
anything else, is like for a
weekend, for a day, you could

258
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.920
turn on the news and it wasn't
you know, politics and war and anything

259
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.400
else else. You know, it
was It's nice. There's no there's no

260
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.000
you know, the no updates on
the Middle East, so there were no

261
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.839
what's China doing to Taiwan? None, none of that was happening. It

262
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.079
was just like, hey, the
sun's about to go away for a minute.

263
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:00.359
That's because you were watching the wrong
channel. Tray. Yeah, I

264
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.759
uh, but you should have been
watching was Alex Jones. Yeah, I

265
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.119
don't. How how do you how
do you find like, oh, Darius,

266
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.599
no, you were you were watching
your own television show, Trey.

267
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:19.559
Oh no, Christ Jones. Here, I'll have to say you you got

268
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.440
an old picture of I saw a
recent picture of Alex Jones, and you

269
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:30.319
are fifty pounds lighter. I'm a
man, Trey. To take all these

270
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.480
info war supplements, I thought you're
gonna I thought you were gonna say that

271
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:38.559
was a government conspiracy just to make
you look fat. She like, yeah,

272
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:47.640
let's go with it. By the
way, I'm Alex Jones and the

273
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:53.599
eclipse. Was it real? It
was a false moon operation. The government

274
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.559
just wants you to think of science. Science ain't real. It's hope.

275
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:03.519
I'm meant to scare you in control. Oh you it's big balls full of

276
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.839
gas and dust up there, But
that ain't true. I'm the only big

277
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:15.079
ball of gas and dust. Pay
my legal bills. What do you think

278
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:19.079
space lasers have been doing. They're
juicing up the moon. They're juicing up

279
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.839
the moon. And all those people
standing around you staring up at the sky

280
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.599
like a bunch of TikTokers on the
phones, all paid actors. They're not

281
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.160
real. They fold you. Even
the ones in your family, your wife,

282
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:40.039
your kids, not real, paid
actors, just like mine. I'm

283
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:44.000
surprised you were left with a video
camera and a mic to talk into.

284
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:52.880
The lawyers can't take it all.
It clips my ass. It's actually Obama

285
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.960
in this weather machine blotting out the
sun. He wants the Earth to be

286
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:04.720
as dark as he is. Okay, Alex, you remember darper Right,

287
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:11.880
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA Obama. They got the same number of letters

288
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:17.920
and they rhyme it's so obvious.
Okay. Well, and that didn't end

289
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.960
when Obama left office, he kept
it in his bathroom and he hit it

290
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:27.920
until Biden snuck into power. Neither're
alltogether, Obama, Darper Biden five letters

291
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:33.119
each, and they all rhyme.
I'm a genius by my supplements. Isn't

292
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:53.599
isn't Trump? Five letters as well. Oh shit, you're listening to the

293
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.640
Treehouse during this break. I need
to go apologize to my dog and my

294
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:03.960
wife. I didn't give them the
heads up. Alex Jones was calling it.

295
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.000
Let's get Daniel Cook into the Treehouse
now. From Cook DFW Roofing and

296
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:14.799
Restoration. Give this man a call

three Cook DFW the website, cookdfw
dot com. Daniel, what is it

298
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.440
that gives contractors such a bad name? Dan? That's a good question,

299
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.759
And there's just one thing. I
think. There's a couple that stand out

300
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:32.119
that we hear the most common ones, one being a communication. I can't

301
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.480
I try to call them, they
don't come me back, or they don't

302
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.759
give me the answers to the questions
I really wanted to have two. They

303
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.960
don't give you a timeline. I
didn't know what to expect. The project

304
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.039
started and we were kind of blind
and then and then they say, well,

305
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:49.279
this is normal, and so I
didn't know that going into it.

306
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.680
Or the worst one is obviously they
took half the money up front, they

307
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.480
did a little bit of work,
and then they stopped coming back. So

308
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.400
yeah, I mean there's several things
out there. I wish you guys could

309
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.839
do my taxes as well, because
we love you, guys and we trust

the conspiracy theories, whether or not
the rapture was gonna happen and Jesus was

turning, it moved forward, and we've

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.200
now found ourselves square in the middle
of Friday, which means, of course,

325
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:37.160
we need to do some birthdays.
Today is Friday, April twelfth,

326
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:44.839
twenty twenty four. Birthdays today Sirrcey
Runin turns thirty. She is from Hannah

the Lovely Bones and Joe in the
twenty nineteen Little Women Remake. Happy Birthday,

328

wide receiver. Decker is thirty six
Today. Brooklyn Decker is thirty seven.

330
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:10.960
Unrelated to the other Deckers, this
one was the Sports Illustrated cover model who

331
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.240
also turned actress. She's married to
tennis star Andy Roddick, and I believe

332
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:19.400
they live in the Austin area.
Other birthdays today from panic at the disco.

333
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:26.920
Brendan Eerie is thirty seven. Country
singer Easton Corbyn forty two, Claire

334
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:33.519
Danes from the Homeland is forty five. And I don't know why I'm brain

335
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.240
farting on the show My Soul Called
Life. That was when she became a

336
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.640
star. Her and Jared Leto all
the way back in My Soul Called Life.

337
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.079
Yeah. Other birthday, Shannon Doherty, one of Raj's favorites, is

338
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:51.200
fifty three today. She famously played
Brenda Walsh on nine oh two one Oh

339
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:55.839
did you ever? Raj as a
fan of Shannon Doherty and a fan of

340
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:59.039
nine oh two one oh, ever, watch did you ever watch Shannon Doherty

341
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.880
in Charmed? I wasn't. I
wasn't a fan of the Shannan Doherty.

342
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.400
Oh it was. I mean,
Brenda was just annoying. So you were

343
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.960
team Kelly, I was very much
so, yeah, I was very much

344
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:17.279
the team Jenny Garth on that side. And then she was very difficult to

345
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:19.160
work with, and then same thing, Aaron Spelling gave her a shot and

346
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:22.119
brought her back on Charmed, and
then she was again very difficult to work

347
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.279
with, and so they fired her
again. But I you know, my

348
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.200
heart does go out to her.
She's suffering from my think stage four cancer.

349
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.240
So God Blusterer, happy birthday.
But yeah, I uh, you

350
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:34.880
know, I was. I was
a Brandon Walsh guy. I was my

351
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.200
you know, it wasn't really a
Dylan McKay dude. Ye I watched.

352
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.279
I watched a fair amount of nine
oh two and oh h when it was

353
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.640
on because I felt like I had
to because that was around the time that

354
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.200
I was in high school and middle
school, and if you weren't watching it,

355
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.559
then you you didn't know a lot
of the stuff that people were talking

356
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.279
about. Yeah, so it's I
kind of felt like I had to watch

357
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.680
the show to I understand certain conversations. And you got to give them credit.

358
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:00.839
They were ahead of their times.
They covered AIDS, they covered homosexuality,

359
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.839
they covered drug use. Uh,
they were I mean Spelling was a

360
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:07.799
Spelling wasn't ahead of his time.
Well, they did it. They did

361
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.839
a solid solid because our age group
grew up on the shows like that,

362
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:17.519
because we started out with Jesse On
Saved by the Bell and her caffeine pill

363
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:22.200
addiction, and then that and then
Aaron Spelling moved us into harder hitting things

364
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.920
like actual drug addiction. Uh in
nine O two one, oh and such,

365
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.960
I mean, and then they rolled
into peach Bit after dark and it

366
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.000
was just you know, off the
rails at that point. I'm sorry,

367
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.640
but I think y'all are the facts
of life. Had had a show about,

368
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.640
you know, caffeine pills too,
let's not let's not. Yeah,

369
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.279
did the caffeine pills get Trudy like
it was Joe? Oh, of course

370
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:52.200
it was Joe. That's so.
That's so Joe Tooty didn't get And then

371
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:57.920
you have remember don't remember Family uh
Family Ties, but Michael J. Fox

372
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.960
Yep, that's it. And you
know the very young Tom Hanks as the

373
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.039
alcoholic uncle. He was drinking the
vanilla extract in the cupboard. I do

374
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:12.200
not remember that episode. I don't
either. Yes, Wow, Okay,

375
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.079
I have to go back and say
Tom Hanks was on Family Ties. Yes,

376
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:19.519
he was. He was. Was
one of his first roles. Was

377
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:26.440
was this before or after Bosom Buddies? I think this was before. Wow.

378
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:32.880
So someone saw Tom Hanks in a
guest role as an alcoholic on Family

379
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:38.079
Ties and said that there is one
half of the star that I need to

380
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:42.839
cross dress in prime time. That
man look pretty address. That's what I

381
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.200
like. If he's drink drinking vanilla
extract, he'll put on some dresses and

382
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.880
you know what put You can put
Bosom Buddies in a category along with so

383
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:59.359
many other things that Hollywood produced that
would not be able to be on TV

384
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.160
today because it would make so many
people angry that two dudes were living in

385
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:10.200
a women's only apartment building and cross
dressing. Yeah, I think it's a

386
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:12.759
It was a great show. I
really enjoyed watching it because, on one

387
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:18.680
hand, around the same time frame, around the same era, Archie wouldn't

388
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.599
work today. All in the family
wouldn't work today because Archie would be Archie

389
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.720
would be seen as too harsh,
and Bosom Buddies wouldn't work because the other

390
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:33.160
side would see Bosom Buddies as too
woke. Yes, well, also you

391
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:38.000
have to look at it is in
the almost juvenile way. You know,

392
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:44.599
we looked at things like transvestite,
transsexual we didn't understand, and everything else.

393
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.839
But also, let me before we
the original, the og show that

394
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:51.839
addressed most of this stuff that people
don't really give it credit for. It

395
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:56.559
was brilliant. It was soap.
Billy Crystal was a Gaman character in late

396
00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.720
seventies like that that was unheard of. Yeah, and that show spawned Benson.

397
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:11.880
There you go, Thank you so
forgiving us Benson. Robert gillm was

398
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.759
was one of the true national treasures
that people really didn't appreciate his he was

399
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:19.720
so good like Sports Night. I
don't know if you'll ever saw that Oh

400
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.359
Love show. Oh that's one of
my favorites. That that show died when

401
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:29.240
he had his stroke. Yeah,
yeah, I'm, by the way,

402
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:34.920
convinced ABC did gave him a stroke. Yes, that was a phenomenal show

403
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.759
that shouldn't have been treated the way
it was. And I think that ABC

404
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:45.440
had Robert can stroked. I didn't
know that was I thought that was just

405
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:52.200
arterial blockete. But maybe maybe it
could be a giant network conspiracy. Why

406
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:59.559
do you think they always had cheeseburgers
there for craft services? That all makes

407
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.720
sense. Thank you now, Now
now you see what I'm talking about.

408
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.559
I'm not doing it again. I
had to tell my dog about It's okay,

409
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:12.519
I'm not doing it again. See
other birthdays today lost my spot and

410
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:19.000

Ye. It's pretty good, pretty good

414
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.920
set of birthdays today, So happy
birthday to all of those people. And

415
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:43.920
whenever Robert Giholm's birthday is, I
feel like we should light a candle,

416
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:58.480
but not on a cheeseburger right now. I think that's too soon. Oh

417
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:00.119
boy, you know, uh oh, there's a story here that I'm going

418
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:06.000
to let the actual news anchors tell
the story because sometimes I think it's fitting

419
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.799
that they that they do it wearing
no clothes. Hang on one second,

420
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:15.440
Hang on one second, I need
to restart this. This is one of

421
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.640
those stories that I think it's important
to have the anchors tell it as opposed

422
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:24.720
to me just doing it for them. Mm hmmm. In tonight's crime report,

423
00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:30.200
a woman is accused of wearing no
clothes and threatening a man with an

424
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:34.400
axe. This woman allegedly chased the
man through the woods in the slight Ol

425
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:42.359
area. So if anyone's curious what
trade did this past week, I was

426
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.000
gonna say that take it was a
bad breakup. I didn't even go have

427
00:33:45.039 --> 00:34:02.519
a date this weekend the one I
want Treehouse on air dot com. Sure

428
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:07.759
he had a day, had a
road trip, and then and then managed

429
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:21.119
to get a run in. Let's
get Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing into the Treehouse

430
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.079
now. For any and all of
your plumbing wants and needs, give her

431
00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:27.280
a call to one fourth thirty six, eight thirty eight thirty eight, the

432
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:31.039
website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com.
Jacqueline, what is your favorite thing about

433
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:37.000
running a plumbing company that is really
hard for me? I'm gonna tell you.

434
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.719
I am super adhd and I'm like
the squirrel from ice Age. I'm

435
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:46.920
all over the place, and so
I like that when I have an idea,

436
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:52.639
I can kind of run with things
because there's only one other boss and

437
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.880
it's my dad, and he's a
little bit of a softie for me,

438
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:59.679
not maybe not for other people.
And I love I said I've said it

439
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:01.079
before. I swear to God,
I'm nut lying. It's not all marketing.

440
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:06.960
I love my team. I love
them all so much, and that's

441
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:08.559
I think that's my favorite. I
like being able to run with ideas,

442
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:13.719
and I like my team. I
love my customers, especially the treehouse customers,

443
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:16.159
because they're so easy to deal with, because some people are just so

people. Please don't make naked hikes
a thing. We don't need this.

459
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:36.000
Just because Dan said it doesn't mean
you gotta make it a thing. Don't

460
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:38.639
do it. It's no, you
don't. You don't know. We're gonna

461
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:45.159
hashtag this. Yeah, yeah,
naked ikes. Oh. I wanted to

462
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:51.800
do some a new exercise program,
so I took a date, took it

463
00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:55.440
to the woods, called her the
C word, and ran it's a hell

464
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.000
of a workout. You can call
it the see word, toss and acts,

465
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:08.840
and then took off. Trey beat
every Kenyon in the woods. Screw

466
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:16.920
Hunger games. It's crazy games and
Trey is always the victor where it's called

467
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:22.639
the C word games. Yeah,
I can't wait to see that movie.

468
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:32.159
Posters can't wait to see the gold
Medalist. Oh Marrier, and that will

469
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:40.039
be the second eclipse within a week. Okay, here we go. In

470
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:45.199
tonight's crime report, a woman is
accused of wearing no clothes and threatening a

471
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:50.199
man with an axe. This woman
allegedly chased the man through the woods in

472
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:53.480
the Slight l area. W go's
Mellory Smith is there with By the way,

473
00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:59.719
this is uh New Orleans w g
n O. The rest of the

474
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:07.119
Mallory, Well, Kurt and Susie. It all happened right here this past

475
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.840
Saturday, and just hours ago.
Police were able to track down the suspect

476
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:14.400
and to rest her, and they
say it's not the first time they've received

477
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:19.719
reports of the woman walking around naked, but it is the first time with

478
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:30.639
an axe that was reported. She's
escalating. At a certain point, you

479
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:37.119
have to recognize that it's getting worse
and something needs to be done. I

480
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:44.519
mean, come on, I mean, let's let's all there is that we

481
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:49.079
make fun of Florida, but we
we kind of you know, our deep

482
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:59.039
dark secret is Louisiana. We're kind
of afraid. Let's be honest. Yeah,

483
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:04.039
there's a reason why we don't China
spotlight on because then we'll find things

484
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:08.039
a neked woman, an axe,
or an alligator, either one it might

485
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:13.679
be the same. I mean,
you get into some of those swampy areas

486
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:19.000
and things have a tendency to this
kind of crossed. Anyway, I'm gonna

487
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.840
switch this over to video modes so
you can see so he can see the

488
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:29.039
report from WGNO here and this is
I believe they said it was Mallory Smith

489
00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:37.119
reporting on this. So here we
go or a woman is accused of wearing

490
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:42.840
no clothes and threatening a man with
an axe. This woman allegedly chased the

491
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:46.360
man through the woods in the Slight
l area. W Geno's Mallory Smith is

492
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:52.039
there with the rest of the story. Mallory, Well, Kurt and Susie.

493
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:57.239
It all happened right here this past
Saturday, and just hours ago.

494
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.119
Police were able to track down the
suspect to rest her, and they say

495
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:04.920
it's not the first time they've received
reports of the woman walking around naked.

496
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:09.280
In the evening hours of Saturday,
April sixth, slides out, police receive

497
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:14.880
a frightening call reporting a naked woman
allegedly chasing a man through the woods with

498
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.280
an axe. You can't make this
stuff up. It's just a crazy storyline.

499
00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:20.840
It's something that you probably see out
of a horror movie. Police arrive

500
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:24.039
on scene within minutes, but the
woman, who investigators have now identified as

501
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:29.519
Angela Wagner, was already gone.
After talking to the man she was allegedly

502
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:32.840
chasing, officers determined it was a
random act. The two had never seen

503
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:37.280
each other. Before the encounter,
the man told police he was in the

504
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:39.960
woods helping a homeless man get back
on his feet, but to his surprise,

505
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:45.199
an enraged woman with no clothes and
a rusty axe charged at him.

506
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:50.800
Is no way that that is true. He's just trying to save face.

507
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:54.079
Yeah, he was doing he was
doing something terrible in the woods to that

508
00:40:54.119 --> 00:41:01.559
homeless guy. There was no homeless
guy. Guy and and naked Angela Wagner

509
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:07.480
with her rusty axe in the woods? Things? What things would sour with

510
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:08.480
that guy? And he's trying to
you know, he didn't want to go.

511
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:12.360
Yeah, we were on a date
and I was about to propose.

512
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:20.119
Turns out she had a different proposal. She wanted to play hide the axe,

513
00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:22.280
and it wasn't a place that you
know, he was comfortable with.

514
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:30.719
In my head, yeah, that
is a uh how old is this story?

515
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:35.679
It's just uh, just a couple
because I'm just looking at it.

516
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:37.760
I'm just looking what the anchors are
wearing, and I'm like, what years

517
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:44.599
that go back to slide down?
Leuis in. I mean, honestly,

518
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:49.000
I didn't think about that. You're
right, if I correct that male anchor,

519
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.639
it looks like, you know,
that was the swamp thing of Scott

520
00:41:51.719 --> 00:42:04.320
van Pelt. You don't get a
lot of Scott van Pelt references, though,

521
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:10.679
well done her, thank you.
I've surely looked at him, because

522
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:17.519
hey, he looks huge behind that
desk. And the other anchor, that

523
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.960
outfit just looks like she they just
woke her up out of a coma from

524
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:28.440
nineteen seventy eight. I think Trey's
right, that looks like a Scott Scott

525
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:36.440
swamp thing van Pelt, and then
they and then the anchor looks a little

526
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:43.599
bit like, I don't know,
nineteen eighty two, Nancy Lieberman, that's

527
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:49.360
not even the poor man Scott van
Pelt. That's like the it's like missing

528
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:59.239
a chromosome, Scott Maanel, like
we're ones to talk. Scott van Pelt

529
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:08.239
slid down. Oh, speaking of
being short a few chromosomes. Have you

530
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:17.639
guys ever been intimidated by scrabble?
I want to say I've never really played

531
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:22.960
it, but you know what it
is. Yes, So Mattel is launching

532
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:28.280
a new, less intimidating version of
scrabble because I guess letters and blocks are

533
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:35.880
too scary for kids today. I
really wish I was making this up Scrabble,

534
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.000
one of the world's best loved word
games, is getting a new,

535
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:44.159
collaborative and accessible version. The game's
been around for more than seventy five years,

536
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:47.760
entertaining and infuriating players and families.
If I my dad an equal measure

537
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:52.039
with the simple premise of competing to
see who can make the highest scoring words

538
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:57.280
from a random selection of letters.
Now, an updated game named Scrabble Together,

539
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:00.800
adds a second side to the board
that is collaborative and faster paced to

540
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:06.719
make gameplay more accessible for anyone who
finds word games intimidating. That's according to

541
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:13.159
a statement that Mattel published earlier this
week. Instead of competing, players collaborate

542
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:17.760
to complete goal cards, and there
are helper cards if assistance is required to

543
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:23.000
aim is that the new game brings
people together. What did they call words

544
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:29.960
with friends? Words with idiots?
I mean that was dumb death scrabble.

545
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:34.320
Yes, now they've Now they've made
it a board like you don't have to

546
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:38.239
They've made a dumber I just,
uh, yeah, I don't know what

547
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:45.559
we're doing to kids today. I
don't I don't understand. It's uh scrabble,

548
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:51.400
that's what we're doing. Making a
collaborative. Okay, spelling is hard.

549
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:55.280
What are they going to do to
Monopoly? I want to see what

550
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:59.000
they do now. It's like it's
going to be habitat for humanity. Everybody's

551
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:04.840
going to help build houses on their
property. Who can build the best co

552
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:15.880
op? No one goes to jail. It's always free parking and there's free

553
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:21.199
healthcare for everybody. Actually, it's
kind of nice. They gentrified Baltic and

554
00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:35.159
Mediterranean. Everyone actually reads on the
reading railroad. Oh yeah, I think

555
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:39.840
we just get on the new game. Wow, it's a It's sad.

556
00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:45.280
I've never uh, I've never really
played scrabble, like like, it's not

557
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:47.119
a We never had that game.
We had Monopoly grown up, but that

558
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:52.920
was just because Indians do hotels.
But that's it was more of an instructional

559
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:55.360
board game than anything else. But
we did have Monopoly. We played that

560
00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:00.000
and that was man that that would
start fights. So I can't imagine what's

561
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:06.360
spelling would do. My family played
a lot of scrabble. We also played

562
00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:14.480
a lot of trivial pursuit and I
never found it intimidating. It's like,

563
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.400
if anything, it was good for
me. It's how I probably know that

564
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:22.400
the word key is an actual word. QI. The only time I've ever

565
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.559
needed to use it was in scrabble, and to this day, I still

566
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:29.719
don't know what the hell it means. But by god, that's you know,

567
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:31.519
if that's a triple letter score.
They were talking about thirty one points.

568
00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:37.400
Wow, Okay, we have to
find out what game means. But

569
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.679
yeah, we just had the Uh
we had a monopoly in operation. Like

570
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:44.760
if you don't, it doesn't get
more Indian than that. And like you

571
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:46.559
could tell, like when we were
playing it as kids, like the one

572
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:50.400
that just kept bumping it against the
side, You're like, Oh, dermatology,

573
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:53.159
that's what they're gonna be. That's
what they're going to specialize in.

574
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:55.760
You could tell. But yeah,
we didn't have the We didn't have that.

575
00:46:55.800 --> 00:47:00.400
We had we had a hungry,
hungry hippos. I don't think you

576
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.719
can have one today. Isn't that
fast shaming? I don't know what that

577
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:12.960
game would do well balanced tippos.
I don't know how that's candy Land just

578
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:23.400
promoting diabetes. Also a fantastic name
for a strip club, and Battleship was

579
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:29.880
just a way for the Navy to
uh, you know, work on indoctrinating

580
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:32.480
you as a child and getting you
to enlist in the future. Yeah,

581
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:37.880
that's exactly. Maybe that's all it
was. All board games is really just

582
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:43.960
you know, training for the actual
life ahead. Yeah. And you know

583
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:47.239
the kid that brought in, like
the brought in cookies from the easy bakeup

584
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:52.360
and you just you just don't she's
not going to cook. That's they're just

585
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:54.840
not going to cook it. And
uh, but yeah, that's wild.

586
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:59.039
I can't believe they're doing that to
board games because it's I don't know,

587
00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:01.440
maybe it's causing a lot of fights
because we didn't play it, so I

588
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:06.519
don't know. The only reason whatever
cause any fights is this is because you

589
00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:09.519
don't have a decent enough vocabulary to
have a chance at winning. Therefore,

590
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:14.320
you play the game more and you
learn more words and you get better.

591
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:20.679
Yeah, but that's the that's the
thing now is uh it has to be

592
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:25.400
super inclusive, right, and you
can't because you can't. Everybody has to

593
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:28.480
be on the same page. Isn't
that right? Is that what it is?

594
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:30.320
I don't know. I'm just why. I'm glad to doing it.

595
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:35.079
But that's the case, then how
the hell do you play clue? Does

596
00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:37.800
anybody still, That's what I want
to know. Does anybody still you can't

597
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:40.559
play a game where there's you're solving
a murder, can you? Is that?

598
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:44.639
Like, isn't that too much for
today? Yeah? I mean if

599
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:51.639
if scrabble with tiles and letters is
intimidating, then then how do you how

600
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:55.079
do you fix clue? Is everybody
the murderer? Or is nobody the murderer?

601
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:59.400
Or is it in Instead of there's
been a murder, there's there's been

602
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:04.400
a there's been a hugging. We
having to find out we have to find

603
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:07.559
out who the who the hugger is
in the house and which room they hugged

604
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:10.559
somebody? Now was it a consensual
hug? Is the question? That's when

605
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:15.840
you're getting into the you're getting into
the rule book. Ah, Yes,

606
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:20.039
that's the game. I can see
in thirty years people will be doing a

607
00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:25.199
podcast like this somewhere in space,
feeling nostalgic about the game of consent.

608
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:32.039
Yeah. I mean, what's next? I mean, they're gonna take grand

609
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:35.079
theft auto and like all of a
sudden, you're gonna you know, pick

610
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.239
the hooker up and you know,
you know, fix her up and get

611
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:42.880
her you know, on a solid
life, get off the streets. Grand

612
00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:50.599
the Grand Theft Auto Pretty Woman version. He cleaned that hooker right up,

613
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:53.519
I tell you, and she got
him to stop selling drugs. It's a

614
00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:59.719
it's a it's a fairy tale story. Okay. So what you're saying is

615
00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:01.920
maybe maybe changing up some of the
some of the games isn't all bad.

616
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:07.360
I mean I don't want to.
I don't want to feel like there was

617
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:12.199
a heartwarming moment when I'm playing Grand
Theft Auto. I mean, if it

618
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:15.079
does happen, I'm just saying like, I wouldn't know that actually is a

619
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:20.519
solid point if you're intimidated by scrabble. Oh yeah, how do you feel

620
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:23.280
when you pick up a controller and
start playing Grand Theft Auto? Yeah,

621
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:25.840
what do you do? Like,
how do you call him? Duty's going

622
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:42.079
to be terrible? Are gonna fuck
up? Solitaire? Connect four is gonna

623
00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:52.440
be all chanked up. What they're
gonna do that bad boy? Make you

624
00:50:52.480 --> 00:51:02.280
play it with somebody. You have
to play Solitaire with a friend. Now,

625
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:08.880
that's a new game for your phone. Solitaire with friends. Now.

626
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:14.079
I think that's going to be the
episode title of this. Yeah, all

627
00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:16.519
