00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.800
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.240
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with
3
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:38.960
Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Tuesday, July fifteenth,
4
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.079
two thousand and one. Five. It's roadshow week here inside
5
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.679
the Treehouse. More details on that coming up. But first
6
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.479
today I have to start with a very scary situation
7
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:59.560
in upstate New York. Curtis Jones is going to describe
8
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.799
for us his face to face encounter with a mysterious
9
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.280
large cat in New York.
10
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.159
Wow, I felt, I felt that rour. I know to
11
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:12.280
keep it pushing.
12
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:12.519
I know that.
13
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.120
Curtis Jones says he was walking near Robber Street late
14
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.560
Wednesday when he saw people running from what appeared to
15
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.040
be a large wild cat.
16
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.000
I thought, I see the people. I'll just see something
17
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.319
big just walking just right over here, right everybody, boy,
18
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.280
it went right over here. I swear, I promised him
19
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.040
right over there.
20
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.319
They just it's ww I just I.
21
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:32.159
Just cut walk.
22
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.799
I've seen it, seen me see it, so.
23
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.079
In my head, I might not gotta go, man, I'm out.
24
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.159
Rochester Police say officers became aware of a video on
25
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.560
social media that appears to show a wild cat, which
26
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.040
some people claim is a mountain lion. RPD says it
27
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.920
received numerous calls of reported sightings, including one year North
28
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.799
Clinton Avenue in Robber Street just after midnight about like.
29
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:55.439
This bit.
30
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.359
It was it was it was, it was just walking
31
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:00.400
Slytherin like it was.
32
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:01.719
I don't know, man.
33
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.719
A shelter in place was ordered and then lifted when
34
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.199
RPD was unable to verify the presence of a wild animal.
35
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.400
Police say no reports have been substantiated. Jones tells me
36
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:14.759
he remains on edge.
37
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.240
Gotta keep this bad right here.
38
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.039
I'm gonna keep this bad right here, man.
39
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.360
That's the case. I'm gonna protect this.
40
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:20.599
I ain't gonna let nothing happen.
41
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.240
So it's nothing.
42
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:22.919
Okay, they ain't find it last night.
43
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:23.639
It's still out here.
44
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.560
It could be all heard one of these bushes or something.
45
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.759
You know, I'm mountain like wow, maybe crawling.
46
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:30.599
Serious.
47
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.599
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office assisted the investigation by using
48
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.199
an aerial drone. The Seneca Park because you told thirteen wham,
49
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.080
all of its animals are accounted for.
50
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.840
I don't play with lions, I don't play with tigers, bears.
51
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:44.479
Nothing, with the wild.
52
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.159
I don't play with those, I promise you.
53
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.879
I don't even do roller coasters. I'm good.
54
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.280
And that is Curtis Jones. That is Curtis Jones for
55
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:57.479
a thirteen wham.
56
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.039
In other words, he doesn't do white people.
57
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.120
Yeah, and just and just in case some pops off,
58
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.719
he's got the bat with him to regular in.
59
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.120
Case the roller coaster shows up in his neighborhood.
60
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.120
He will beat up that roller coaster to death with
61
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:17.680
that aluminum baseball bat.
62
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.360
I love this guy.
63
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.800
You don't even need the reporter. Just give the man
64
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.159
the microphone. I mean, that's well, was half the report
65
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.479
right there was him, just eyewitness account of Curtis Jones. Like,
66
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.240
just give the man a microphone, just let him just
67
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.599
he's your new field reporter.
68
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.120
He needs to have his own segment called Curtis Jones. Word,
69
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:42.039
that's what I would watch.
70
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.159
This man's a star. I want it known that we
71
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.680
saw it and we proclaimed it before anybody else. Curtis
72
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:49.520
Jones is a star.
73
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:56.039
I don't know what, but yeah, and really this seems
74
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.599
to I think this is what is has been lost
75
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.879
in modern journalism. It's the probing questions, it's getting the
76
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.360
getting the witnesses to really give you that in depth
77
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:06.759
perspective they had.
78
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.360
That's true because at the end of the day, when
79
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.719
you're when you're a reporter and you're going and getting
80
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.560
eyewitness accounts and you're getting comments from the public, that's
81
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.319
exactly what it is. It's the comments section come to life.
82
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:22.920
And I think this.
83
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.639
Is what the comments section looks like.
84
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.839
She she has this reporter has her finger on the
85
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:30.759
pulse of the community.
86
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.199
I can say that, well, Curtis does too, but he
87
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:35.759
uses a bat instead of a finger.
88
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.920
I still I want to see him fight the mountain
89
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.480
lion with a bat. I just want to see this
90
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.800
when he realizes that don't don't beat mountain lion.
91
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.920
And let's be honest, in that video, that's a big
92
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.839
looking mountain lion. Like that's honestly more like Africa lion size.
93
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:55.639
M hm.
94
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:01.439
That didn't look like just you know, normal mountain lion
95
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.879
kind of a thing. Like I saw a story the
96
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.519
other day that a school went on lockdown because they
97
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.480
thought they saw a mountain lion outside the school. Turned
98
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:14.319
out it was just someone's fat house cat.
99
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.519
I think one of the things is is that like
100
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.800
people get confused between bobcats, mountain lions. Yeah, a lot
101
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.079
of times it just everything comes in like the umbrella
102
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.199
of a mountain lion and there's but that that is
103
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.480
a big cat, Like yeah, I get. For people who
104
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:36.959
are just listening, I would say that's cat was probably
105
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.560
three feet tall, like yeah.
106
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.720
And even Curtis did it in the video. He's like, man,
107
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.920
it's like this tall and he's holding it up. It's
108
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.079
like four feet that he's holding up. His arm is
109
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.879
like even with his arm pit. So yeah, I don't
110
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.319
It was smart of the news team to check with
111
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.560
the local zoo to make sure they didn't have any
112
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.759
big cats that had gotten out, because that's what it
113
00:05:58.800 --> 00:05:59.240
looks like.
114
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.680
That's somebody that bought a cub off of like Craigslist,
115
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.720
and now it's too big for the house, so you
116
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.079
let it roam around at night because it's too expensive
117
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:13.600
to feed. So whatever you get, you can.
118
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.360
Come back somethingn some some white lady is missing. Prissy
119
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:31.639
Chrissy the murder kitty, Christy versus Curtis.
120

how the cat goes. Raj, what was it you were
163
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.960
telling us about Mumbai.
164
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.480
Most people don't realize that it's in a national forest.
165
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.919
Like the actual city is in the middle of a
166
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.279
national forest, so there are national forest style creatures that
167
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:21.200
dwell there as well.
168
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.519
And there was also not like not like just outside
169
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:25.519
the city, but in it.
170
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.000
Oh yeah, okay, uh huh yeah, so much to the
171
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.639
surprise of this bus driver who got on at seven
172
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.600
o'clock in the morning to start his shift and was
173
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.519
just making sure, checking the mirrors and everything, and looked
174
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:40.440
in the back and asleep was a black panther was
175
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.840
asleep in the back, just spread out. And my favorite,
176
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.240
he didn't say much when the when the reporter asked him,
177
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.120
you know, what's the first thing he did? He's like,
178
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.759
I got off the bus. That was it.
179
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.039
It's a wise man, I mean seriously, I mean it's
180
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.759
really selfish for India to birth two great mind two
181
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:07.639
great generational minds, Gandhi and this bus driver. I got
182
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:08.159
off the bus.
183
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:12.039
Okay, makes sense, that was pretty simple. What was the
184
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:13.559
first thing I did? And got off the bus?
185
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.000
But that goes back to what Trey was saying earlier
186
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.200
when we were hearing about Curtis Jones seeing a big
187
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.120
murder Kitty in Rochester, New York. The journalist kept asking
188
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.240
probing questions of this eyewitness, and that's where you get
189
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.879
the good information. And really it is. I mean, there
190
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.279
are certain times as a reporter that you hate to
191
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.240
ask the question, can you tell me what you were thinking?
192
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.639
Or how do you how did what did you feel
193
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.279
when your house got blown away by this tornado? Or
194
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.240
in this case, how did you feel when you saw
195
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.039
the large cat across the street or the big black
196
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.080
panther at the back of your bus, which, by the way,
197
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.159
that's just wrong. They should be able to sleep anywhere
198
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:55.080
they want on the bus.
199
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:59.120
Yes, it shouldn't be all the way in the back,
200
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:03.440
because that was you're so progressive I am.
201
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.039
Someone called me lib and that's just you know whatever,
202
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.240
I just I believe in equality. Black panthers should be
203
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.559
forced to sleep in the back of the bus wherever
204
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:12.919
they want.
205
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:23.320
Keep it reeled in right, ye word, I just in
206
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.840
my head like it's a casting call, right, Like I see,
207
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.159
like the reporters show up, they've got the story. They
208
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.039
lined a couple of people up and they're like, so
209
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:35.159
what sounded? What sound did the mountain lion make? And
210
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.360
Curtis was the first one to go ra and they're
211
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.440
like him, he's the one, He's the one.
212
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.480
It's the same thing like that, we need that guy
213
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:42.919
on TV right now.
214
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:44.879
It's like when they go to Oklahoma. It's like, so,
215
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.000
how did you know, They're like, oh, hey, I'll tell
216
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.960
you right now. We knew right then. It's like, that's
217
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.320
the guy that's our chuck.
218
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.960
Cut in live, now, cut in live. I got a
219
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:52.360
hot one.
220
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:54.759
It's like, when.
221
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.039
We can't waste tape on this, we need to go
222
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.480
live for the next twenty four hours. It's all Curtis
223
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:01.000
all the time.
224
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.960
The moonshine is going to wear off. Please now.
225
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.240
When the Space Shuttle broke up over Texas, oh uh,
226
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.840
you know, we swore up and down and that they
227
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.120
they were going out and finding the you know, just
228
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.320
most ignorant sounding East Texas person to interview, you know,
229
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:21.399
the one that was actually going to go look for scrap,
230
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:22.919
you know, to sell in their yard sale.
231
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:23.759
Yeah.
232
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.519
In fact, we got banned from CNN at the time
233
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.000
from the radio show we were working on because we
234
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.759
asked the one the reporters, are you going just trying
235
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:33.679
to find the dumbest people possible.
236
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.279
Right, and Ed Lavendara has not forgiven us honestly, honestly,
237
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.559
And I think that was very unfair of CNN ED
238
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.759
and Ed Lavendara to do that to us, because they,
239
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.000
as reporters, are going to ask questions, and sometimes you
240
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.840
have to speak truth to power and ask difficult questions.
241
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.240
It was as Texans we felt it to be our
242
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.799
duty to ask the reporter, are you only airing the idiots?
243
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.559
I know they're smart people in the Tyler Longview area,
