00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.399
It is time to leave or worries outside and laugh

2
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.280
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with

3
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:30.519
Trey Trenholm, Raj Sharma and mister Jerry called well, today

4
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:37.079
is bred Day, June fourteenth, twenty twenty five. We're at

5
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:45.039
the end of another week. Blessed to be here. Yes,

6
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.079
So Sunday is Father's Day and for most of us

7
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.640
here inside the treehouse, it's a little awkward because most

8
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.679
of us don't have our dads anymore. Raj, how many

9
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.039
years ago did you lose your daddy?

10
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.359
Twenty two so? Three years? Oh? Got it?

11
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.719
Twenty so three years ago? Trey, how long has it

12
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.239
been since mister Trenholm passed? Eleven years eleven? It's it

13
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:18.359
been that long? Yeah, yeah, Jerry, do you still have

14
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:18.920
your dad?

15
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:21.959
I have my biological dad. He's the only one that

16
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.079
I have left. My adoption of dad died nineteen years ago.

17
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.439
Gotcha. My dad passed away a couple of years ago.

18
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.760
So we all we're all part of the dead Dad's club.

19
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:41.359
Although Jerry's showing off because he's got another one. Technically,

20
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.959
I have a biological father somewhere, but I don't know

21
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:46.840
his status.

22
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.719
I think I've been watching Forensic Files and I think

23
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:56.599
I think I do really yeah, I think I know

24
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.599
exactly where it could be. I'm just going on a guest.

25
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.920
All right, hang on to that little nugget because I

26
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.280
want to. I want to make sure we have plenty

27
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:12.479
of time to hear about that in the meantime before

28
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.960
we get to Raj thinking he found my father on

29
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.599
an episode of Forensic Files on television. Lucky me. We

30
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:26.560
can actually celebrate Father's Day by doing something especially stupid,

31
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:32.840
and that's celebrating fake dads, because, let's be honest, there

32
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.039
are some great great fathers out there, but the running

33
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.800
joke is there are so many bad dads that we

34
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.879
look to TV dads to really get the good, good wisdom.

35
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.960
I loved my dad, Raj, you had a great dad. Tray,

36
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:52.000
you had an amazing dad. Jerry, I'm not sure, but

37
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.599
we can all appreciate the TV dad. It's a different

38
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:00.439
it's a different character than the TV husband. Right, TV

39
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:06.039
husband is an idiot usually like a it's like like

40
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.319
like in the TV show. According to Jim, you want

41
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.439
to talk about the stereotypical TV husband, it was it

42
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.800
was Jim Belushi.

43
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.719
On that show King of Queens, same thing.

44
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.159
King of Queen's very similar. Yeah, but that makes you think, Okay,

45
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.199
someone decided to go ask a bunch of people, well,

46
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:31.080
who are the best TV dads of all time? I

47
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:36.280
think we all know the worst. And the irony to uh,

48
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:41.039
doctor Cliff, doctor Heathcliff Huxtable is that he used to top

49
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.439
this list, but since it found out that he'd like

50
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.000
to drug women and sleep with them against their will

51
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.120
in real life, not the character on Cosby, Uh, he

52
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:52.879
no longer makes this list.

53
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.719
Yeah. But even on the show, like he was telling

54
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.639
people who he was, like he did right, Like what

55
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:01.319
was his job?

56
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.800
He's a gynecologist in the basement of his house.

57
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.120
Yeah, it doesn't get creepier than that.

58
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.560
Granted it was a very nice home. It was a

59
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.240
very technically still technically the basement.

60
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.560
And some of the people, some of the accusers were

61
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.720
actually guest starters on the show as pregnant women in

62
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:24.279
the basement.

63
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.360
Oh yeah, yeah, co starring is patient number three but

64
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.879
victim number one. Yeah, unfortunately so Yeah, Cosby no longer

65
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.600
reigned supreme on the best TV Dads of All Time list.

66
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.040
The top twenty five best dads of all time. I'll

67
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.199
run through these here. Number twenty five Ward Cleaver from

68
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:52.199
Leave It to Beaver, Okay, excellent. Tony Misscelli from Who's

69
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.680
the Boss comes in at twenty four. Tony Danza beat

70
00:04:58.720 --> 00:04:59.360
Ward Cleaver.

71
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:01.680
That's kind of awesome.

72
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.120
That sounds like a headline he probably did. Yeah. Twenty

73
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.959
three Tom Bradford, who is the dad in eight is enough?

74
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.120
That would be uh, mister Dick van Patten, Tim Taylor

75
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.720
from Home Improvement at twenty two. Okay, surprised he's that

76
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.319
far down on the list. Well, he was a combination

77
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.759
of TV husband, which is kind of an idiot, mixed

78
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.040
in with TV dad, and so because of that, he

79
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.199
didn't have a whole lot of that TV dad wisdom.

80
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.279
He had more of that TV husband idiocy because I

81
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.759
mean in almost every episode he's blowing himself up or something.

82
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.240
Yeah, and he was also in real life for convicted

83
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.319
drug dealer, so he kind of wanted to push past

84
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.439
the wisdom.

85
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.399
Yeah. Number twenty one Stephen Keaton the Dad and Family Ties. Okay, yeah,

86
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.519
Number twenty Red Foreman from that seventies show. Yeah, I

87
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.879
love it now. That is a dad. Yeah, that is

88
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.839
a tea. That is a quint essential TV dad except

89
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.639
for the fact that he was kind of mean, So

90
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.800
he really stands out on this list, right. Number nineteen

91
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.360
Philip Drummond from Different Strokes, You know, the one that

92
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.160
we've talked about in here, that kidnapped a pair of

93
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.800
black boys from a basketball court and took them home

94
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:17.600
as his own.

95
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.879
White privilege.

96
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.480
Number eighteen Philip Banks, the dad in Fresh Prince of

97
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.920
bel Air. I'm sorry, but just that one episode, just

98
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.800
the one episode between him and Will Smith talking about

99
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:44.199
Will Smith's dad on the show. Oh man, that still

100
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.040
kind of cracks me up a little bit. That was

101
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.279
some power. That was some powerful stuff for his sitcom.

102
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.600
Yeah, And then the final episode when they start, like

103
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.199
the house is empty and it's just Will and Uncle Phil,

104
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.600
and he starts reminiscing about all the stuff they did

105
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:02.839
together and that that hug was like, oh okay, yeah,

106
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.879
that was really that was really good.

107
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.399
Number seventeen Phil Dunfie from Modern Family. He beats out

108
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:17.240
Uncle Phil. We actually went back and rewatched the majority

109
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.519
of Modern Family recently, and that show holds up. It

110
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.800
has moments where it's really really clever, and then they

111
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.560
have a hard time balancing sometimes being clever with being

112
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.560
too cute, and near the end it went more too cute,

113
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.680
see than clever, and so we usually stop watching somewhere

114
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.519
in there. But still a bunch of those seasons are

115
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:36.399
really really funny.

116
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.319
But like his physical comedy is just so ty. Barnett's

117
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.040
physical comedy is just so good.

118
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:48.120
When he's on that sort of elliptical cross trainer thing

119
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.800
going around the neighborhood. Have you've seen this tray? So

120
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:53.279
you know what elliptical is at the gym?

121
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:54.759
Right, I know what you're talking about.

122
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.680
And you know the the trike looking thing. It's like

123
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.160
your legs spread out wider than an elliptical. Then you're

124
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:02.839
this is what he would. This is a whole episode

125
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.920
of him going around the neighborhood. One of these things.

126
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.519
I think I saw one one time on the Katie

127
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.079
Trail when we lived in Dallas, and I thought, oh wow,

128
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.639
that guy's single, and then it will be forever.

129
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.040
The episode where he has the flu but doesn't know

130
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.879
it and he's at Disneyland and he wants to ride

131
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.199
the Riots with his son and he's going through the

132
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:28.439
flu like he passes out on magic Like that.

133
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.360
Really was good. He had to actually act out passing

134
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.799
out in the middle of the roller coaster. It's phenomenal.

135
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.679
Chef's kiss. Okay, So going back to the list, Top

136
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.840

Outdoors in Fort Worth. This is the Treehouse Show. I'm

173
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.519
Daniel Malley, along with Trey Trenholm, Raj Sharma and Jerry Caldwell.

174
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.960
Coming up just a little bit later, we'll finish the

175
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.759
best TV dads of all time. But I want to

176
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.679
make sure that I want to make sure we check

177
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.600
in with Trey, who's sort of like our tree house daddy,

178
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.679
and that's because he's the oldest. Now, keeping in mind,

179
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:40.320
it's not my much, but as it is your for

180
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:45.919
the sake of this argument, you are treehouse Daddy. Trey

181
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:50.279
decided to flex his dad muscles this morning by trying

182
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.440
a new kettlebell workout. What did you combine with your

183
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.639
kettlebell workout? Trey?

184
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.679
It was a kettlebell hit workout.

185
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.480
So the kettlebell workout wasn't difficult to know off for

186
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.799
our daddy Tray that he needed to combine it with

187
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.480
a high intensity interval training element.

188
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.960
Do we not? Do we not remember two weeks AGO's lunge?

189
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.399
Thank you, Raj. Two weeks ago you thought you tore

190
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:19.159
your quadricep muscle doing a lunge. Now you're doing high intensity,

191
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.720
high intensity interval kettlebell training.

192
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.600
But but but doing a nine minute warm up stretch

193
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.440
thing beforehand?

194
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.519
I don't know if you doing that workout would be

195
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.639
wise with a nine day warm up.

196
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.919
You should try the one I'm on, it's excellent. It's

197
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.879
the kettle chip workout. It is oh so good, so

198
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.000
many different flavors, different.

199
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.120
Lots of yeah, oh yeah, cream and onion.

200
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.039
Oh yeah, there you go, cracked.

201
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.519
That's a good one.

202
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:00.120
So that's that's my leg day.

203
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:06.360
Funky fusion that it did. Yeah, I mean this with

204
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.679
all sincerity, Trey. Kettlebell workouts are hard enough. Why do

205
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.879
you feel the need to add more intensity by combining

206
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:13.879
it with a hit workout?

207
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:18.000
So I follow this guy and that does the workouts,

208
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.600
And that was one of the things that popped up

209
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.200
was just I was really looking at it more for

210
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.360
time and I was like, all right, what the hell?

211
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.799
And and make the mistake It hit whipped my ass.

212
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.919
It was a thirty one minute workout. It took me

213
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.000
actually about thirty eight minutes to get through because I

214
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.240
had to hit some pauses here and there just to

215
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.000
catch my breath.

216
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:43.279
In that.

217
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.960
I picture how Trey got into this, and this is

218
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.240
just how the movie Brain of Mine works is. After

219
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:55.399
the quad scare, Trey was in my head is like

220
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.200
in a dark room, like staring at his quad and

221
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.639
it's like, oh, so you think you can take me down?

222
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.960
Kettlebell like and that's all it was said. And then

223
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:08.000
the next thing, that intense workout. There's a montageous foreigner

224
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.720
song that plays. Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.

225
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.279
I just think it's so scary that, as a fifty

226
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.919
year old man, you're combining a kettlebell workout with a

227
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:21.159
hit workout. If I was to do that, it would

228
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.159
just be hitting myself in the head with the kettlebell.

229
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:28.679
I need kettle bell.

230
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:30.960
All right, let me let me.

231
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:32.840
Try this new TikTok workout.

232
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:32.759
And go.

233
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.720
All right, that's that's my first rep. All right, I mean,

234
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.360
let me let me try my next one. Oh how

235
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:51.159
many sets of this do I have to do? Oh?

236
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.840
And then Dan's new new series, The Best e rs

237
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:54.480
in Town.

238
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.840
How to hit your deductible in one day.

239
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.480
CT. It's not it's not over time anymore.

240
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:10.360
That's right.

241
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.559
You can do it in one the danil Malley workout

242
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:15.279
CT in one session.

243
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.279
You remember seven minute abs, here's five minutes C.

244
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:31.360
That's right. Oh, fill out the form with this big pencil.

245
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:40.320
I can't. My grip strength is shot. That's probably why

246
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.720
they That's probably why they invented the big pencil. Because

247
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:46.440
the guy that did the hit workout combined with the kettlebells.

248
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.879
His hand was cramped around the kettlebell handle, and the

249
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:52.799
only writing utensil that would fit is a big pencil.

250
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.200
Does he always fart when he blinks his right eye?

251
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:56.759
That's weird?

252
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:07.840
All right? Second set? Oh extrap, Oh it hurts alright,

253
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:16.080
let me try this again. That'll give me just enough

254
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:24.960
for the last set. Here we go. Oh, I put

255
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.240
my finger in the wrong spot.

256
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:29.840
Shouldn't have car bloaded.

257
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:40.000
Sorry, ma'am. It's totally involuntary at this point.

258
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.519
The only workout series not on DVD.

259
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:53.200
I have an idea. Let's do a hit cattlebell workout

260
00:16:53.679 --> 00:17:02.799
to the oldie training. Richard Simmons comes bouncing out this

261
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.839
training session. This training session sponsored by Depends.

262
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.039
And your local er.

263
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.799
Oh, the TikTok influencers. The fitness industry is gonna just

264
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.279
really hate you, but the big farm is gonna love you.

265
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.480
So you managed to go? Oh yeah, so did you

266
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.720
manage to get through the entire kettlebell slash hit work

267
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.759
out without hitting yourself in the head or dropping a

268
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:35.880
kettlebell on your foot?

269
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.759
H wow?

270
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.359
Okay, well then well done.

271
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.960
Yeah, so I guess the question remains what did happen?

272
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:46.240
Tree?

273
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.839
I mean, there are a couple of times I was,

274
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.160
you know, on the ground, trying to catch my breath,

275
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.880
pondering what the hell am I doing?

276
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:04.319
What got you off the floor like a twenty five

277
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:05.640
year old wearing Lululemons.

278
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:09.039
No, I do try to.

279
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:13.200
There's a little like yoga workout room on the side

280
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.000
of the gym and the complex I live, and I

281
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:17.079
try to go in there so.

282
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.279
You know, my old my old man.

283
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:28.759
You know, workouts aren't distracting to anyone else, but you can't.

284
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:30.559
You can't look out by the pool and go.

285
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.480
Oh, you know that's smart though, because that reminds you

286
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:36.240
why you're working out in the first place.

287
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.440
Yeah, a bunch of girls I'm too old for.

288
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.599
It's I love about Jerry's like, so what went wrong?

289
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.559
So it's like nothing and then just he just wheels away.

290
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.240
There's some you know, definitely some times where thank god,

291
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.720
I am in a room by myself, because especially when

292
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.519
trying to do like some of the ab stuff where

293
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.880
you know you're doing a like roll up and then

294
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:01.839
thrust your hips the air and stuffy little gas my

295
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:03.039
escape here and there.

296
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.440
Because uh huh, you just that point.

297
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.319
That is something I have noticed with age, like especially

298
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.480
for some reason, climbing the stairs, like going upstairs for

299
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:12.559
some reason, it's like, you know.

300
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:17.759
You don't need to work out, you need a proctologist. Buddy.

301
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.279
Let me get a look in here. Let's see me

302
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:29.039
take a look. Take that weird number one number one.

303
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.920
Now I know why you always live on the first floor.

304
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.279
H whoops, I forgot to disarm before I started my workout.

318
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.519
That is Jerry. Today is Friday, June fourteenth, two thousand

319
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.359
twenty five. We started the show talking about the top

320
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:59.920
twenty five best TV dads of all time, and it's

321
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.880
it's interesting which one of the first fifteen that we

322
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.599
went through stood out to you guys the most. And

323
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:10.279
it sounds like Michael Bluth, the dad in Arrested Development,

324
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.920
coming in at number fourteen, is the one that has

325
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.039
surprised you, Trey and Raj the most.

326
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:20.839
Yeah, why did you watch the show?

327
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.680
Because don't Sleep with your cousin doesn't seem like certainly great.

328
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:27.279
It seems like a low bar.

329
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.160
That is some quality dad advice though, Yeah, and you

330
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.039
know the episode, Like, I love that show.

331
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.000
I think Jeffrey Tambor was one of the most underrated

332
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.319
between that and Larry Sanders show. I think he's just

333
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.240
absolutely brilliant. But there is one the first season. I

334
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:47.759
think it's like episode six where it's the conjugal Visit

335
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.200
one where Michael Bluth is trying to get you know something,

336
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.519
so he's getting like a hooker for his dad. Yeah,

337
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.799
so there there'd be another reason why I kind of

338
00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.880
questioned the list.

339
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.640
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

340
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.319
So in that case, there were some surprises as far

341
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:11.039
as the top twenty five best TV dads of all time.

342
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.759
That's one I think we'd all agree. We're really wondering

343
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.720
how it is. Peter Griffin from Family Guy came in

344
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.920
at number sixteen on this list, so it's an entertaining list,

345
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.359
no doubt. And that's just twenty five to eleven. So

346
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:31.960
let's now do the top ten best TV dads of

347
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:37.640
all time. Number ten from The Munsters Herman Munster excellent.

348
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:44.880
You're talking about the heyday of Hollywood TV black and white.

349
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.440
That was a kind of a controversial show for the

350
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.960
time because you're talking about a family show where family

351
00:22:53.160 --> 00:23:00.519
was very very vanilla on TV, and the Monsters obviously

352
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.880
stood out quite a bit.

353
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.759
I'm surprised something of that age made the list because.

354
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:12.400
I am too. They had leave it to Beaver on

355
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:14.119
spot number twenty five.

356
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.559
Well, but and that low I kind of understand.

357
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:21.640
But if this list was done twenty years ago, Ward

358
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.559
Cleaver is probably in the top ten. Keeping that in mind.

359
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.640
At number nine of the best TV dads of all time,

360
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:36.480
Fred Sandford from Sandford and Son excellent. Yeah, not so

361
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.839
much for the self esteem building for his son there,

362
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:45.640
but still great TV dad, Classic TV Dad number eight

363
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:50.359
from Step by Step Frank Lambert. Okay, how in the

364
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:56.359
actual does Patrick Duffy, who portrays the dad and step

365
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.720
by Step make this list?

366
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:04.200
Talented actor, a brilliant human being, a practicing book.

367
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:06.839
He wasn't even the best dad on things on TG

368
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:07.279
I have.

369
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:17.000
Abby Ewing. Yeah, it's still part of a dynasty. He

370
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.039
makes the list always, all.

371
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.480
Right, Well, speaking of TG, if he actually is not

372
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.359
the best dad on TG, if that was the thank goodness,

373
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.599
it's Friday lined up back in the day at number seven.

374
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:34.519
Danny Tanner from Full House. Okay, yeah, but not if

375
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:36.519
you saw not if you saw his stand up.

376
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:37.640
That is correct.

377
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:42.279
That's a very very different man. Yes, just goes to

378
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.599
show how good of an actor Bob Sagett is that

379
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:48.680
he can play one of the sweetest, most innocent seeming

380
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.039
fathers in television history but be one of the most

381
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.160
foul mouth stand up comedians in history.

382
00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:55.960
Yeah, they had to, They used to have to put

383
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.440
out a notice at comedy clubs when Full House came out,

384
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.039
said this comedy show is blue and he would open

385
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:05.039
with this joke and it was one of my favorites.

386
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:07.039
And he said his daughter came up to him after

387
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.559
she saw a few episodes of the show Full House

388
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.400
and said, Dad, you're just nothing but a sweet, sweet

389
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.319
old actor. And he said, on, thank you, honey, and

390
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.759
you're out of the wheel, bitch. And then he would go,

391
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.079
it's not it's it's it's not ABC TV. Buckle up,

392
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.759
and that's how he would start his sets. So that

393
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.960
was pretty awesome.

394
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.559
Coming in at number six Best TV Dads of all

395
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:38.960
Time from Roseanne dan Connor about that, I have no

396
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:42.559
issues with that. Not only am I a massive, massive

397
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:47.480
fan of his as an actor, but the character. Yeah,

398
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.960
it was good TV dad. Number five Carl Winslow from

399
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:54.039
Family Matters, which gives me an excuse to bring up

400
00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:01.359
the Carl Winslow theory. Carl Winslow, the dad from Family Ties,

401
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:07.119
is also Officer Al Powell from the Diehard Universe because

402
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.720
it's the same actor, Reginald vil Johnson, and same job,

403
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:13.960
same job, same city. I think, no, no, no, I

404
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.240
think Family Matters with Chicago whatever, it's the same thing.

405
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.240
It's Reginald vel Johnson theory.

406
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:21.480
And I think he got a transfer.

407
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:24.799
Yeah, he was trying to get away from John McLean.

408
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:28.119
I was like, man, I've had enough of this. Okay,

409
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:30.079
now that now we get into the top four from

410
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.200
Bob's Burgers Bob Belcher Top TV Dads of all Time?

411
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:35.720
I never I have not seen enough episodes to put

412
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:36.680
him anywhere on the list.

413
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:37.960
I can.

414
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.440
I can concur with that one. That's a good one, Okay, Yeah,

415
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:43.359
he's a good job. Number three Archie Bunker from All

416
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:47.720
in the Family was no or just really really memorable.

417
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:49.559
No, we're a giant racist.

418
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.759
It's a giant racist.

419
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.279
So for the seventies, really memorable. Yeah.

420
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:01.279
Number two, Number two for the best TV dads of

421
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:06.559
all time? Andy Taylor The Andy Griffith Show. Wow, now

422
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:10.279
I know what you're thinking. Who could they have possibly

423
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:16.160
put in the top spot over Andy Taylor from the

424
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:20.640
Andy Griffith Show. And if you said Al Bundy from

425
00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:22.079
Married with Children, you would be.

426
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:29.799
Correct, and that would be our generation.

427
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:38.359
Just like our generation. This list has its flaws, but

428
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:40.960
for the most part, I'm okay with them.

429
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.200
When he really needed to show up, he did, you know,

430
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:44.759
when he beat the crap out of that guy that

431
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.960
hurt Kelly, and you know all those times he did

432
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.640
step in to stand up for his wife and his

433
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:54.359
family and all that. But it really really mattered. He

434
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:54.720
was there.

435
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:02.839
Yeah, the satellite Dish. Fantastic episode. He gets electrocuted and

436
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:05.160
falls off the roof, but still loves his family.

437
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.960
And let's not forget his four touchdown game whole high

438
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:16.720
school rise. Maybe that's what got in the top slot.

is Jerry called well. Today is Friday, June fourteenth, twenty

452
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:15.720
twenty five. Then a father centric show today because Father's

453
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.119
Day is coming up on Sunday. Raj, we need to

454
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.880
go back to this you mentioned it earlier. Why is

455
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.440
it you think you found my biolog How is it

456
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:25.759
you think you found my biological father.

457
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.960
Well before we came on the air, I was watching

458
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.640
as I do HLN, and they have forensic Files on

459
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:36.119
and I don't know if it was forensic files, but

460
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:38.039
it's one of the shows where they're talking about, you know,

461
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.160
small town this and small town And there was a

462
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.640
baby boy who was in the eighties kidnapped and taken

463
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.599
to more, Oklahoma. And I don't know how far that's

464
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:53.279
from where you were traded in the walmart, but I

465
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.119
am glad that those of the other family had the receipt.

466
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.079
Real quick, let me fill in the gap here. I

467
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.880
was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and for three months I

468
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.400
was in foster care. And when my parents came to

469
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:08.119
pick me up from the State of Oklahoma Health and

470
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:13.839
Human Services in Oklahoma City, they were given the wrong baby.

471
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:19.160
Another couple had taken me somewhere south or west of

472
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:25.559
Oklahoma City to their town, and my dad and my

473
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:28.119
mom had waited years to get matched with a baby,

474
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:30.000
which was me. They wanted me. They didn't want this

475
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.079
other kid that somebody else been matched with, So they

476
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:36.039
decided to meet halfway between Oklahoma City and the town

477
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.200
where these people had already gotten me home, and it

478
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.039
happened to be in a Walmart parking lot. They made

479
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:43.839
the switch, and that's all she wrote. I don't know

480
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:48.720
what town that was in, and my Oklahoma geography is fuzzy,

481
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:51.880
like my memories when I was three months old, so

482
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.160
I don't know which Walmart in Oklahoma they did the swap.

483
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.400
I don't know if More, Oklahoma is west or southwest

484
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:00.279
of Oklahoma City.

485
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.359
If it is, then More Oklahoma's south of Oklahoma City,

486
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.359
right smack Dad between Norman and Oklahoma.

487
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:08.839
City, so it could have been more. Tell me more

488
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:11.279
about who you think might be my biological daddy.

489
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.559
Well, they actually exchanged you and not for store credit,

490
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:23.000
so that's good. But the husband and wife abducted a child.

491
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.160
And that's why I think it's your dad, because they

492
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.000
went to the hotel motel that they were hold up in,

493
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.079
and as the police surrounded the motel, they banged on

494
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:36.960
the door and yelled for the father. I can't remember

495
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:39.279
his name, but they yelled for the dad to come out,

496
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:41.400
and he wouldn't and they kept banging on the door

497
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:44.119
and he kept going, what what like you need to

498
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:45.799
come out? We're checking on your welfare. And he goes,

499
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.160
they didn't ask anything. They said, come out, we're checking

500
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:52.720
on your welfare. And he says out loud, I ain't got.

501
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.319
No baby in here.

502
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:55.640
Dad.

503
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.200
They didn't even ask that man if he had abducted

504
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.359
a child. He just yells out the first communication he

505
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.480
has and goes, I ain't got no baby in here.

506
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.680
And the way he said it, I was like, that's

507
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.279
dand's dead.

508
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:14.400
That doesn't sound anything like me.

509
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:19.119
I know, but it does sound like you're dad. He

510
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.240
just automatically gave forth information for no reason.

511
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:27.960
Nobody asked did you get a name? Like, did you

512
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.359
get a last name for him or the or the lady?

513
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.039
The last name. I didn't get the first name, but

514
00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:37.559
the last name was Walter Walters. Is what I got

515
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:38.359
was the last name.

516
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:41.720
And so here's one of the mysteries of my youth.

517
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:47.240
All right, So, uh, my birth certificate, like Obama, is

518
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:49.920
not an actual birth certificate. It's a certificate of live

519
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:55.119
birth because I guess they didn't hand him out to

520
00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:02.400
the rescue babies. I don't know. So so on my

521
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:08.039
on on my adoption decree, Okay, my adoption decree that

522
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.799
my parents got when they when they got me where

523
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:13.240
it changes my name to their name?

524
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:13.720
Right?

525
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:21.279
My given name was baby boy Guffy. Oh so I

526
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:23.000
didn't even get a first name.

527
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.759
What if that was your first name? You're so lucky.

528
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:29.319
What if you was just Guffy O'Malley.

529
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.640
So so, I'm just assumed for forty five years that

530
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:36.279
my given that my first name as a baby, baby

531
00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:40.319
boy Guffy. I just assumed it was a placeholder, and

532
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:43.480
Guffey was the surname of probably my mom.

533
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:44.440
Mm hmm.

534
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:48.079
But you're saying, what if they actually named me baby boy?

535
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:52.720
Oh god? I can never watch Dirty.

536
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:57.839
Dancing again, at least not in the corner.

537
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:02.200
Or is that the only place I should watch it

538
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.200
and just just patiently wait for the ghost of Patrick

539
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:06.319
Swayzee to come get me.

540
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:09.320
He would never have a show in a million years.

541
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.360
If your name was Guffy O'Malley, you would be a

542
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:17.119
bandito or some like in the petty And you know

543
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:19.239
who shot first, Guffie o'melly.

544
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.159
I feel like that would be better than baby O'Malley.

545
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:26.639
Baby O'Malley sounds like a gangster in the twenties. No

546
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:29.760
one to get there, Oh, baby O'Malley.

547
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:37.559
I'll knock off this Walmart's here, I'll find him. Yeah,

548
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:41.239
so I assume the Guffy last name. I'm assuming that

549
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:44.239
was my mom's last name, because what little information I

550
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.280
have about my biological parents was that they were not married.

551
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:49.519
So I'm assuming the last name I would get on

552
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.119
that initial paperwork would be my mom's, not my dad's.

553
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.159
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure they weren't married, because he

554
00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:59.639
ended up doing twenty two years in Oklahoma City Jail

555
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:04.760
Oklahoma Penitentiary. She was also being held housted because he

556
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:08.360
wanted to give her a baby, so she ended up

557
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:12.079
getting the child, and they rescued her and arrested him.

558
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:14.800
She was not part of the abduction plot, and then

559
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:18.800
the baby was returned to its rightful owners or parents,

560
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:19.679
whatever you want.

561
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:23.119
Technically, I don't know what there's I think they do.

562
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:25.000
I don't know, do you do? You still have to

563
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.840
feed them? I don't know how it works, but yeah,

564
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.679
they were returned to the people that were in the

565
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:32.519
Walmart parking lot. I don't know how it works.

566
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:35.079
You know what, Raj, It's possible, It's possible. Maybe I

567
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.639
maybe I was the baby in that episode of Forensic

568
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.559
Files you were watching. I have no way of knowing.

569
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:42.199
Yeah, well every time, you know, if you you know,

570
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.079
if you see sirens and and hear sirens and see

571
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.079
the red, white and blues and you kind of flinch,

572
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:51.360
maybe that's because that's who saved you in Oklahoma and

573
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:54.679
took you to your now parents or then parents. I

574
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:57.800
don't know how it works, but yeah, that's they. It

575
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.280
all came to a wonderful conclusion. Everybody got the maybe

576
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.119
she got on with her life and he ended up

577
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:03.920
being someone's bride in prison.

578
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:08.119
It would actually be pretty fitting for me because normal

579
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:10.679
kids get delivered by stork and then I got dropped

580
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:11.480
off by swat.

581
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:17.760
And honestly, you know, if if you were to say

582
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:20.159
baby boy Guffy and you saw a man with a

583
00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:22.639
helmet and a big pencil, you would the name would

584
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:23.360
be fitting.

585
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:34.639
Unlike the helmet.

This is the Treehouse show. I'm Dan, He's Trade. There's Raj.

594
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:18.199
That is Jerry Caldwell. Today is Fred Day, June fourteenth,

595
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:26.119
twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with birthdays. He is Kickass.

596
00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:31.480
He's also Quicksilver in Avengers Age of Ultron. He's Aaron

597
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:35.760
Taylor Johnson, thirty five years old today. He's thirty five

598
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:41.360
years old today, Aaron Taylor Johnson. Let's see, he was

599
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:45.840
also he was also on Bullet Train and he is

600
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:51.239
also rumored to be up for the new James Bond role.

601
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:56.239
Aaron Taylor Johnson started out as Kickass and could end

602
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:58.280
up as the next James Bond.

603
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:00.639
It's pretty cool.

604
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:03.760
And for those that don't know, while he is thirty

605
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:09.280
five today, his wife is Hollywood director Sam Taylor Wood.

606
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:11.800
She is fifty eight.

607
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:14.840
Yeah.

608
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:15.800
Interesting.

609
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:20.039
So when they got married, he was Aaron Johnson and

610
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:23.760
she was Sam Wood and or something like that, and

611
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:27.559
they combined like they co hyphenated their last names. So

612
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:32.480
he's Aaron Taylor Johnson, she's Sam Taylor Wood. And there's

613
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:34.719
also if you're on Instagram long enough, like I've been

614
00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:38.840
some nights, regrettably, you'll see a little suggested real and

615
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:41.320
it'll be of because I follow a lot of Marvel

616
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:44.079
stuff and he's been in Marvel stuff. He's also Craven

617
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:48.920
the Hunter and that one that flopped recently. There's a

618
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.519
video of him on the red carpet for one of

619
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:57.159
his movie premieres. And his right side is his wife,

620
00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.480
who's fifty eight. She directed fifty s Age to Gray,

621
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:03.400
by the way, and on his left is her daughter,

622
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:08.360
his stepdaughter. And when you see the three of them

623
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:12.599
all standing together, it doesn't look very obvious as to

624
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:13.920
who the actual wife is.

625
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:17.480
It's the one eating soup.

626
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:25.239
You want some more soup, mama?

627
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:26.280
Okay?

628
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.480
Anyway, other birthdays today we were talking about the best

629
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:33.079
dads of all time. Danny Tanner from Full House was

630
00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:37.199
on the list. Today is Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's birthdays.

631
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:39.840
They are thirty nine today, the twins from Full House

632
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.840
thirty nine.

633
00:39:41.639 --> 00:39:44.079
No, that's also how much they weigh. That's also how

634
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:48.000
much they weigh individually, nine pounds.

635
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.159
That is actually a good question to ask. I wonder

636
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:53.679
what weighs more Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, or the

637
00:39:53.719 --> 00:40:01.639
carton of cigarettes they each smoke a day.

638
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:02.400
Or how their sister ended up having a better career.

639
00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:05.079
Yeah, speaking of Marvel people.

640
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:09.400
Uh, but god, that makes I mean I remember the

641
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:12.199
Olsen countdown clock to eighteen.

642
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:19.519
Yeah, yeah, God's just god, that was a long time ago. Yeah, man,

643
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:23.880
were we were something back then? Yeah, and so were they.

644
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:28.440
I'm not sure which one, Mary Kate or Ashley, but

645
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:31.880
one of them got married to some French guy years ago.

646
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.760
And when you go to weddings, sometimes as a guest

647
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:40.679
of the wedding, you'll get a favor, a party favor,

648
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:43.719
wedding favor. It's a tiny gift from the bride and

649
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:49.159
groom for their guests. For Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen's wedding,

650
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:53.440
whichever one it was. Their their wedding favorite was cigarettes

651
00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:00.000
on every table at the reception. Oh wow, I mean.

652
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:03.119
His name, who's his name, Philippe Morris.

653
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:04.880
Probably.

654
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:10.800
Oh that's so that's so gross. I'm so fitting. I

655
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.119
love it.

656
00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:14.960
I'm realizing now that today is actually a very Marvel

657
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.000
heavy birthday day. So you got the Olsen twins who

658
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.239
were not in Marvel, but their sister Elizabeth is as

659
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:24.719
a scarlet witch. Aaron Taylor Johnson was Quicksilver in Age

660
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:28.800
of Oltron. Kat Dinnings is thirty eight. She's from Two

661
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.840
Broke Girls, The Forty year Old Virgin, and she was

662
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:37.639
in the Thor movies. Chris Evans, Captain America is forty

663
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:46.239
four today. Oh yeah, okay, I'm not yep. Stellin Scarsguard

664
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:49.920
is seventy four today. He is the phenomenal Swedish actor

665
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:53.880
who plays Eric Selvig in the Thor and Avengers movies.

666
00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:56.480
And by the way, just for a little quick, you

667
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:59.119
know thing, because we'll occasionally talk about Star Wars on

668
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:04.320
the show, he plays a rebel spy handler. It's part

669
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.320
of the rebellion in Star Wars on the show. And

670
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:13.000
or he is so good. The show is really good.

671
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:17.719
It's it's it's you know, it's very character driven heavy,

672
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:20.760
and you know, it's it doesn't really have any lightsabers,

673
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:23.440
but it's just a really quality show. And he is

674
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:25.320
phenomenal in it.

675
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:29.039
Has he related to the other stars Guard the other two?

676
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:32.599
Yes, although I don't know in which manner. I don't

677
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:35.960
know if he's daddy or if he's uncle, or if

678
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:38.719
if I'm being honest, if it's actually just coincidence, and

679
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:41.559
maybe where they're from. Scars Guard is like Smith in America,

680
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.920
because no actor though, I mean, what's that?

681
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:48.519
So he's just he's a phenomenal actor.

682
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:51.800
Yeah, going back to like I remember Goodwill hunting is

683
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:53.159
I think is where I probably.

684
00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:01.159
Yes, okay, gotcha, Yeah he is great. Yeah, okay, I

685
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:03.960
didn't know he was a stars Guard. Yes, that's just

686
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.840
there's the there's uh. Then there's the two younger Scars guards.

687
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:13.519
One of them, one of them played Tarzan in a

688
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:16.239
in a Tarzan remake that was actually pretty good if

689
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:16.880
I'm being honest.

690
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:17.679
Uh.

691
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:20.960
And the other one, uh Bill plays penny Wise, the

692
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:23.000
clown and the new it Uh stuff.

693
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:26.320
Oh, very cool. That should be like, that should be

694
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:28.880
They should hold up that name when they're giving you

695
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.599
a field sobriety test. And if you can say stars

696
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:34.800
Guard correctly, you can go home. Uh.

697
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:38.440

724
00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:59.239
Yeah, but the one that just got named Bill like

725
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:00.440
they didn't care anymore.

726
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:08.280
Maybe that's his nickname. Yeah, maybe his name is Vilhelm. Yeah,

727
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:09.320
he just goes by Bill.

728
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:13.559
I'm Gustav. This is my brother Bill.

729
00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:22.440
Okay, so let's let's let's revisit our best TV Dads

730
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:27.000
of All Time? H Is there a name that we

731
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:31.159
didn't mention? Was there name that was glaringly omitted from

732
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:33.079
the Best TV Dads of All Time? List?

733
00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:38.440
Yes? And I'm appalled at this list that Jim Walsh

734
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:41.559
James Eckhouse was not from nine oh two one oh

735
00:46:41.559 --> 00:46:44.320
Beverly Hills nine o two one oh was not on

736
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:44.800
the list.

737
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:45.840
He shouldn't be.

738
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:48.480
Do you see all the problems his kid has or

739
00:46:48.519 --> 00:46:51.639
his kids had? Was it one of his daughters played

740
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:55.239
by Shannon Doherty immediately exclusion from the Best Dad's list?

741
00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:58.119
No? No, I mean he saved her so many times.

742
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.599
And Brandon when he had his gambling problem and his

743
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:02.719
drinking problem. Jim was there.

744
00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:05.360
I think you should have been there more. Maybe he

745
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:08.360
would have been able to have the children avoid these problems.

746
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:12.320
You wanted to give them their independence. He's a loving father.

747
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:15.679
Was Alan Thick on there for growing Pains?

748
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:20.039
Yes he was okay, but not John Schneider Jonathan Kent

749
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:21.079
from Smallville?

750
00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:24.800
No? Really, he had to raise Superman. Yeah he did

751
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:27.440
not Ultimate Dad. Well, not only that, but it was

752
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:30.119
teenage Superman and you know those I mean, it's I mean,

753
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:33.280
you think about it, that show had some amazing potential

754
00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:36.719
for other storylines because they just focused on high school Superman,

755
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:40.280
when really it could have been a combination of Superman

756
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:43.320
meets the Wonder Years, and you could have had some

757
00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:46.840
really interesting questions asked that we've all wondered about, like

758
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:49.760
what's it like to hook up with Superman? Because I

759
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.199
think the conversation's always had where it's like what happens

760
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:54.559
when he goes? Oh, like what happens to her? Does

761
00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:57.400
does she go? And then you know, does she go?

762
00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:01.599
I think they cover it when they say he's faster

763
00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:02.480
than a speeding bullet.

764
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:11.119
