We start off discussing the off broadway rendition of Grumpy Old Men that was the debate. Then we dive into monoliths, bad feet, and why Gene Hackman will regret doing The Birdcage!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:32.520
It is time. It's just it's
Christ. Is it ever a time for

2
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:39.320
you to join us inside the Treehouse? Come laugh with me, Daniel Maley,

3
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.920
Trade Trendholm, and Raj Sharma,
Because even though we had an episode

4
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:51.200
the Friday episode the day after the
presidential debate twenty twenty four, we didn't

5
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.960
really get into it much. I
was still kind of digesting it, and

6
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.320
I think we were all still having
difficulty forming words, and we weren't the

7
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:08.599
only ones. So after the taking
the weekend to process everything that we didn't

8
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:17.760
just see but witnessed in the presidential
debate. In the presidential Debate twenty twenty

9
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.840
four, typically we stay away from
the political side of things inside the Treehouse

10
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.840
because politics is so divisive these days. Not that that's anything new. It's

11
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.799
pretty divisive, you know, even
back when the forefathers were, you know,

12
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:36.000
deciding how to run this thing,
but it's just more so now,

13
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.079
and so we have a tendency to
stay away from it because our point,

14
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.480
our angle, what we like to
do here in the Treehouse on the show

15
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.359
is to bring all of us together
where we can all laugh at the silliness

16
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.680
in the world, all the stupid
that surrounds us. But this is one

17
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:59.719
of those times where you know,
politics and stupid collide and ah head on

18
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:07.560
uh and so we can't ignore a
pile of stupid this big yep uh.

19
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:15.120
But before we get into any substantive
issues of the debate, stupidity, not

20
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:22.080
actual issues, but just the substantive
stupidity of the debate itself, I have

21
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:39.680
one very poignant thing to say.
H Yeah, I have not done that

22
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.439
in a long time. Apparently when
I drink whiskey, I turned into Forest

23
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:53.599
Gump. This also sounds a little
bit like a screaming monkey, like remember

24
00:02:53.639 --> 00:03:00.960
the monkey? Yeah, there is
there is a liquor bran called monkey Shoulder.

25
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.879
But Trey, you remember the monkey
Bash game, the bartop game.

26
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.840
For a while there, Tara and
I would go head to head with Trey

27
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.560
and saying who could rack up the
biggest score on the monkey Bash game?

28
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:20.759
And this actually sounds like the monkey
when you smack him. Anyway, That's

29
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:25.360
all I gotta say about that.
Yeah, again, not wanting to jump

30
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:31.039
in too deep inside the stupid end
of the presidential debate twenty twenty four and

31
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:37.800
honestly the only really coherent time where
it actually felt like an honest to god

32
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:43.120
debate. Was it when they were
arguing over you know, immigration or the

33
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.080
economy, It was their goddamn golf
scores. This is one of the few

34
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.199
times on the entire debate that both
mics were on at the same time.

35
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.400
And this is what we got.
Yeah, just won two club championships,

36
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.719
not even senior, two regular club
championships. To do that, you have

37
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.520
to be quite smart, and you
have to be able to hit the ball

38
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.879
a long way. And I do
it. He doesn't do it. He

39
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.439
can't hit the ball fifty yards.
He challenged me to a golf match.

40
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.159
He can't hit a ball fifty yards. Look, I'd be happy to have

41
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.680
a driving contest him. I got
my handicap, which when I was vice

42
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.720
president, down to a six.
I told you before, I'm happy to

43
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:25.639
play golf if you carry your own
bag. There's a six handicap of all.

44
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.519
I was an eight handicap. I've
seen your swing. I know you

45
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:43.000
swing. It's two. It's two
kids again, right, I can wuk

46
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.600
faster than you. Okay, but
my foot hurt. Let's just settle this.

47
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.800
Top golf regardless, regardless of your
political affiliation. When Biden said he

48
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:59.439
was a six handicap. Collectively,
every golfer in America did an iceman he

49
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.439
did. He did qualifying when he
was vice president. Even when he was

50
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:08.399
vice president, he was never a
six handy cap. I caught a fish

51
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.199
this big. Yeah, But I
mean also, I mean, Trump's former

52
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.240
caddy calls him Pele because he likes
to kick the ball. You ever read

53
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.439
about Trump playing golf, He like, you know, if you play golf

54
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.319
with Trump, you have to lose, Like that is. That's why he's

55
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.600
like a one two club trick exactly
everyone else would. No one was going

56
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.480
to beat him, no doubt about
that. Yeah, but a six handicap,

57
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.759
like for sure, in his mind
he is a six handicap. Look,

58
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.120
he's just like the difference is wheelchair
after the sixth hole? Well,

59
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.000
no, because he's not playing on
a normal course. He's playing at putt

60
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.680
putt. Yes, it's just in
his mind he thinks it's Tory Pines.

61
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.319
But I mean, and Trey,
you can admit this as well. And

62
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.639
then you see this as well.
Him when he was vice president, far

63
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.360
more energetic and like even if you
want the XIT video for Obama where they

64
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.800
had like Bayiner and and and Biden
and all these guys come in and like

65
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.439
when Obama's trying to get his license
and all that. That was a great

66
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.199
video, but like that was a
completely different Joe Biden than what is present

67
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.160
today because of the toughness of the
job. So I mean, if like

68
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.560
if it was a tan handy cap
what and he wants to lie about it

69
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.800
in front of Trump and whatever,
who cares? But it was just it

70
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.879
was sad to they just went down
to like their eleven year old selves.

71
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.839
That's what happened when you reach that
age is you eventually start to revert and

72
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.920
you just become you know, well, it was just like when watching the

73
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.920
golf thing, I was like,
god like and it's I'm just waiting for

74
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.160
like, but I'm taller, No, I'm taller, but you know I

75
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.279
did like the uh he made a
dig at the at him being two hundred

76
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.480
and twenty five pounds. I did
like that. I was like, okay,

77
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.560
kind of kind of sassy at the
end. That's because you like Biden

78
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.839
though. It rat that that was
what I like. It's like your fat

79
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.360
no, no, you're fat no
no, But I did but I did

80
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.839
like like I was like, he's
trying to He's trying to like he's trying

81
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.519
to match Trump on the snarky shit, right, He's like, well,

82
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.680
you're you're yeah, you're like you
said two hundred and twenty five pounds.

83
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.560
I actually, I don't think it
was an accident. I don't think it

84
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.480
was an accident that in the middle
of all the debate clips and memes and

85
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.560
things that I saw on social media
last night, tucked in the middle of

86
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.199
it was two really old dudes at
a nursing home getting into a fist fight.

87
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.720
It's like, that's had to be
related in the algorithm. Do you

88
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.879
guys remember that episode of Family Guy
where it's the child molester and then there's

89
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.040
the they find out there's a guy, an older guy that's next door that's

90
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.279
a Nazi. No, I missed
that episode. Oh it's so somebody posted

91
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:38.279
that meme as well as as Joe
Biden and Trump after the debate, and

92
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:42.040
it's like the slow motion fight that
they're like he realizes like that was his

93
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.959
arch nemesis from back in World War
Two and now they're old men with walkers,

94
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:47.879
and like they both fall asleep in
the middle of the fight on the

95
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.199
ground. It was like gruppy old
men. You just needed Meredith to come

96
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.959
in there and separate the two.
That would have made the debate so awesome.

97
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.079
Bur Just Meredith would have saved that
debate. God that had been That

98
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.160
would have been a thing of beauty. Also very scary because he's really dead.

99
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:15.720
Well, these two are not far
behind him. You're listening to the

100

to one four three six eight thirty eight

103
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.759
thirty eight the website Brooks Plumbing Texas
dot com. The other day you posted

104
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:46.440
on the Brooks Plumbing Facebook page a
what appears to be a plumber driving his

105
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.440
work van off of the residential street, popping a curb, going through one

106
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:56.840
yard and then ending up crashing through
what looks to be a brick and wood

107
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.879
fence into the backyard of another they
are home to which you smartly captioned same

108
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:07.399
or next day's service, just maybe
not this fast. And it was a

109
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.679
competitor's vehicle, not one of mine, doing said accident wreckage off roading but

110
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.399
all of the plumbers, we all
talk to each other. And that was

111
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.039
posted in a plumbing forum on Facebook, a group called Service Plumbers of Texas.

112
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.480
And if you do anything in a
plumbing truck, or you do a

113
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:35.600
very bad job, there is no
one that has seen worse craftsmanship than the

114
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.399
craftsman that comes behind the last guy
that was at your house, and we're

115
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.600
all going to talk about it if
it's done wrong. And I have developed

116
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:50.679
a hypothesis that plumbers are like high
school girls in the bathroom. They know

117
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.720
everything about what's going on. And
I saw this post in the group today

118
00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:01.360
and was just like, here is
a marketing gold nugget gifted to me by

119
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.919
the gods. And we will be
sharing this video. And if you haven't

120
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.240
been to our Facebook at least go
look at that. Because I was sitting

121
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.799
at my desk this morning going oh
my god, Oh my god, because

122
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.159
it was just so bad. I
will say I hope that the technician was

123
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.159
not having like a medical episode that
led to this. I hope he had

124
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.200
not fallen asleep, I want to
say, I respectfully for him. I

125
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.320
hope it was the breaks. But
there's a woman in the backyard sitting at

126
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.399
her patio table when he burst through
into the yard. And I don't know

127
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.919
if she heard him coming, but
she had just gotten up from the table

128
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.799
right before he plows right in front
of it. For any and all of

129
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.600

of dipping our toe in the the pool

139
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:39.600
of stupid that was the presidential debate
on Thursday night, there was a major

140
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.639
issue that I was personally offended that
was not brought up by the common not

141
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:50.480
the commentators, by the moderators.
Sure, if that's one way to look

142
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:58.960
at them from CNN. Was the
issues was the issue of the continuing noosance,

143
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:05.159
that is, these monoliths that keep
popping up around the country. I

144
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.919
don't remember if these were popping up
around the world, but I know for

145
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.320
sure they were popping up in,
you know, seemingly random places around the

146
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:18.360
country. And there was one recently. And this is why I was so

147
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.960
deeply personally offended that it was not
asked to either candidate during the debate.

148
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:31.600
Was the one that was just found
recently in Colorado. Another monolith found in

149
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.519
Colorado, this one allegedly resembling more
of the style of monolith that we saw

150
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.960
in Stanley Kubrick's two thousand and one
of Space Odyssey before the monkey started using

151
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:48.159
tools and things. So why are
also aliens were not asked to Trump or

152
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.759
Biden? Why are we not getting
answers to the questions that we most need.

153
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.320
Well, I think it was wasn't
it Clinton that was like, yeah,

154
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.440
Area fifty two is a thing.
And then I think it was somebody

155
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.679
else was like I think it was
Obama that was like, yeah, I'm

156
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.039
gonna look into it, and I
think there's some stuff that we need to

157
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.519
declassify, and it could you know, as soon as I find out more

158
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.279
about it. It's all a little
a bit of a bait and switch when

159
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.879
it comes to the aliens of like
we we're gonna, we're gonna have a

160
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.600
committee, and they did. They
had that one day in front of Congress,

161
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.360
and he's like, I'm telling you, this stuff is real. And

162
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.840
that's why I'm saying. You've got
a guy who supposedly has lots of credibility.

163
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.080
We've talked about him, you know, because because it's important way to

164
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.519
know about this stuff. You have
all the declassified videos, you know,

165
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.639
coming out of the Navy and the
Air Force where they're you know, can't

166
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.200
keep up with strange aircraft and such, and the monoliths and aliens. I

167
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:46.639
want to know, ask ask these
guys that have the clearance. Maybe then

168
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.080
again, the government may have Maybe
the deep state is real, and the

169
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.960
deep state absolutely refuses to tell Trump
or Biden anything about aliens just for the

170
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.799
safety of us all I don't know. Okay, here's my what what if?

171
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.919
And just go with me on this
what if? This is like whatever

172
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.720
planet they're on. This is their
banksy and this is what he does.

173
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:11.399
He just he just randomly he does
these monoliths, and they're like, what

174
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.200
do you got going on now?
And he's like, Oh, I'm gonna

175
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.360
go down and put these monoliths on
Earth. They won't know what hit him.

176
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.080
And so in the middle of the
night he comes in he's like,

177
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.799
because I think there's one in Vegas
that's like all shiny and metal. Yeah,

178
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.320
like, oh, this is gonna
because Vegas is all shiny and there's

179
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.679
a lot of metal there bamp in
the middle of the desert. And then

180
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:37.240
he just flew off another strange another
strange monolith, this one more reminiscent of

181
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.600
the one of the movie two thousand
and one of Space Odyssey, appeared in

182
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:46.480
Colorado, northwest of Fort Collins.
Nearly two hundred and fifty mysterious monoliths,

183
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.480
many of them three sided and prism
shaped prism not prison, have been discovered

184
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.759
around the world since twenty twenty.
Another was found last week or two weeks

185
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.600
ago near Las Vegas. That's the
one you're talking about, raj. The

186
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:05.080
Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said it was
removed on June twentieth due to public safety

187
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:11.919
and environmental concerns. This Colorado specimen, which is rectangular and reflective, was

188
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.720
found on a hill outside Bellevue,
Colorado, stands about eight feet tall,

189
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.840
four feet wide and is bolted into
a concrete pad. Yeah. See that's

190
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.240
what I'm saying, Like, this
is their this is their vanguard artist from

191
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:30.080
whatever planet they are, like borgone
nine and he's he's there, he's their

192
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.000
dude, and this is what he
does. And if you can get your

193
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.039
hands on it, it's gonna be
worth millions one day if that's the currency

194
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.679
that they trade, sure or or
or it's gonna be worth natural gas.

195
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.840
I mean, most of them sound
like there was a strip club that went

196
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.039
out of business and they just didn't
know what to do with the stuff.

197
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.840
I think, I think, I
think we found. I think the mystery

198
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:03.200
has been solved. I want to
go to that. I want to go

199
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.200
to the strip club though, where
they're just instead of pole dancing, they're

200
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:11.879
a monolith swinging. It's hard to
go around them when they're rectangular shaped.

201
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:18.000
That's where the extra money comes.
Yeah, it's the challenge any ho can

202
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:37.679
swing around the ball that has to
be a shirt Yeah, anyhow, it

203
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:44.279
takes a special hoade. It's going
run a monolith. Well, like they

204
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.799
said, it's it's it's bolted into
a concrete slab, so it doesn't have

205
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:55.600
any give. I mean, you
hit that thing at full tilt. You

206
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:00.840
ain't getting back up. What are
you doing right now wiping the monolith,

207
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:08.519
always leaving a snail trail? Yeah, at that point you wouldn't think it

208
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:26.200
was such a mystery. Just follow
the trail. You're listening to the Treehouse.

220
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.680
I'm great at that, but other
people suck. I mean a couple things

221
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:23.440
I guess I stand out. If
you ask Carrie. She always really gives

222
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.720
me a lot of crap about my
spelling. And I try to spell really

223
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:33.039
well, but I guess sometimes easy
words, I sometimes flip flop letters and

224
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.359
it's it's just something small, and
I catch myself and thank Goodness for spell

225
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.160
check now and everything, so it
doesn't make me look like a complete idiot.

226
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:41.880
Well, as long as you get
the roof on right side up,

227
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:48.319
I think that's the main thing.
And also you you you missed an opportunity.

228
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.839
So I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna
pose the question to you again.

229
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.559
Is there something you're really good at
but others suck at? Well? Well,

230
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.880
of course it's roofing, man rufing, construction in general, detail,

231
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.519
spelling, not so much. Everything
else you got down every time, no

232
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.240
problem at all. Give the man

242
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.519
image of the tripper's reflection in the
monoliths. Let's you know, they go

243
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:14.319
around. It's hot to two point
zero intergalactic. That's not milk in the

244
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:27.119
milky way. This while a sad
story, there is a stupid spin I

245
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.519
can put on it, Okay,
so bear with me when you hear this.

246
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.720
You guys have seen the notebook,
right, Yes, yeah, Trey

247
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.640
has. Trey's been subjective to it, RAJ, you have not. I

248
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.079
haven't seen it all the way.
I've seen the end, and I've seen

249
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.640
like most of the like, there's
a bit in the middle that I'm missing.

250
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.079
Okay, now, did did you
fall asleep or did you escape?

251
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.680
No? I think I got up
to cook. Oh that's a smart idea.

252
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.200
Yeah, it's come on, baby, I'm gonna go make us.

253
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.640
I'm I'm gonna make us some pasta
prima feria. I'll be right. I

254
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.960
actually think I was making spaghetti.
I think it was I made pasta from

255
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.680
scratch. That's gonna take a long
time. I gotta, you know,

256
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:15.480
I gotta make I gotta get the
good stuff. Uh. So, the

257
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.440
gist of the film is it's a
love story. It's one of the epic

258
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:23.119
love stories. It's uh one that
most of us as men get subjected to

259
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:33.400
in our romantic relationships. And it's
always uh an interesting thing when life imitates

260
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.720
art. So in the film The
Notebook, it's the struggle for this these

261
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.359
two people to finally get together,
and when they do, at the end

262
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:48.480
of their lives, she has dementia
or Alzheimer's and she doesn't remember things the

263
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.160
way she used to, and so
James Garner uh and Gina Rowlands, those

264
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.759
are the actors portraying the old couple. He retells her, I think every

265
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:03.759
single day of their life together and
the story of their love, and then

266
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:08.839
at the end of the film they
both die. Well, this is where

267
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.799
life imitates art and it's kind of
sad, but again, bear with me.

268
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:19.160
Gina Rowlands, the actress from the
Notebook, has Alzheimer's, just like

269
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:25.440
her character did. Her son,
Nick Cassavetti's, did not realize by the

270
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.119
way her son was. Nick Cassavetti's, who also directed the movie, says,

271
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.720
it's so crazy. We lived it, she acted it, and now

272
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.559
it's on us. He also apologized
for being the one who spilled the beans

273
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.839
years ago about Rachel McAdams and Ryan
Gossling hating each other on the set.

274
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.640
He claims the interviewer caught him on
a bad day. It all worked out,

275
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.759
Rachel and Ryan ended up dating.
So so back to Gina Rowlands from

276
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:55.640
The Notebook, her actual self imitating
the character she portrayed in the Notebook,

277
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.799
she has come down with Alzheimer's.
Now the stupid spin on this for us

278
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:06.160
in the Treehouse is what other actors
are now looking over their shoulders, thinking,

279
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:08.279
oh God, what role is going
to get me? Like, is

280
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.480
Liam Neeson looking at his as kids
going to you guys, don't leave the

281
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.720
house anymore? Oh gotcha? I
thought you were saying, who would who

282
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.119
would be fearful of having Alzheimer's my
favorite one? No? I mean like,

283
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.599
like, if you're an actor,
what's the one role you're now worried

284
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:23.759
about? Oh? God, what
if this role? What if one of

285
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:29.799
these roles is what kills me?
Yes? So if it's any of the

286
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:34.160
Italian actors, they're all just going
to get hit, mob hit. Everybody's

287
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.839
going to get whacked and end up
in a trunk that will actually be fitting

288
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:44.000
for those dudes. Though, Well, Patino and de Niro have very young

289
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.519
children. Have to worry about those
kids. They'll be fine. Yeah,

290
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.359
okay, so who Yeah, Liam
Neeson needs to worry about his kids.

291
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.880
I would think m H. Mel
Brooks that have a ton of stuff to

292
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:06.319
worry about. And he just turned
ninety eight, so I mean he knows

293
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:12.279
his as it is. He's at
the age where he thinks he is Moses.

294
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.000
And like I said, it's one
of those weird, unfortunate things where

295
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.759
life imitates art and I just I
just I know I'm putting you guys on

296
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.559
the spot, trying to think about, well, what's what's another actor after

297
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.079
hearing about Gina Rowlands, thinking like, oh god, this role may be

298
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.480
what what gets me And if we're
being honest, I mean it kind of

299
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:41.759
happened first to Heath Ledger. Jeane
Hat's gonna regret doing the bird cage,

300
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:59.920
but Nathan Lane's going to be very
happy, super excited. Visit us online

303
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:40.279
pool of stupid today, this is
an important story to share with you because

304
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.079
the medical industry is a challenging one, to say the least. It's difficult

305
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:52.759
to get into as it should be, and it can be a difficult occupation

306
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.400
for all involved. I don't care
what job you have within the healthcare industry,

307
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.680
it's a challenging one. Whether it's
you know, the janitor in the

308
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:06.279
hospital that's not an easy gig,
all the way up to you know,

309
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:11.240
the person who heads up a hospital. Nurses, doctors, uh, physicians,

310
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.119
all all the jobs in between,
they're all very difficult except dermatology.

311
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.720
I think they're they're they're they're Okay, there's not a there's not a high

312
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:25.200
stress situation where you're like that goddamn
mole. Well, it may not be

313
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.480
a high stress situation, but it's
a high icky factor. Yes, there

314
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:33.720
is a there's a lot of puss. Yeah, and it's not always puss.

315
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.279
Sometimes they pull critters out of there, they do. Yeah. Some

316
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.839
of the nastiest stuff I have seen
online has been from dermatology videos. Yeah,

317
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.640
those are the good ones, are
they? Yeah? I love those?

318
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:51.119
Haven't I showed you the explosive syst
Oh, I'm sure I I uh

319
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:56.319
yeah, I'm sure those are fantastic. My doctor pimple popper all day long.

320
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:03.920
Within that it's actually the pediatrist.
Oh yeah, the overgrown toenails and

321
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.559
stuff like killing me. That's the
show. That's a great name, by

322
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:10.839
the way, because we've all said
that at one point, man, my

323
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:14.279
feet are killing me, and somebody's
like, yeah, now I'm gonna find

324
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:17.319
that's the one. Oh man,
when you get there, like the toenails

325
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:22.640
that are going like that and they're
like hedge trimmers to them. I have

326
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.319
seen so being as I live on
an island in the middle of the Caribbean.

327
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.240
I see a lot more feet than
than the average Texan does because most

328
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:36.039
people are walking around and flip flops, and I I would kindly request that

329
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:41.119
before you come on vacation a pedicure. Yeah, some trim some of these

330
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:48.240
things because they they look like a
low triming commercial gone bad. Here's this

331
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.960
is just a public service announcement from
the treehouse. If you don't have flip

332
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.440
flop feet, don't put your feet
in them. There are some people.

333
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.640
I remember I was in Austin with
my buddy on a boat. There was

334
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.920
a bunch of us and I looked
down and his pinky toe was the saddest

335
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:08.680
toe I've ever seen. Like that
that piggy didn't we all the way home?

336
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:14.160
That that one. That one it
looked like it committed suicide. Uh.

337
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:15.599
It was hanging off the side of
the flip flop. I'm like,

338
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.720
your toe, your pinky toe looks
like it's trying to get away from the

339
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:23.480
rest of your foot like and the
rest of his foot. I was like,

340
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:27.559
are your toenails gray? Like what
is happening? Uh? And he's

341
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:30.279
like yeah, man. So sometimes
it just it's a blood float thing.

342
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:34.000
I was like, put socks on
and and tennis. Shit, you're a

343
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.200
white dude. Put on some new
balance. Nobody's gonna question than the full

344
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:44.440
transition. Yes, boat shoes,
buddy, That's that's why they're called them.

345
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.160
Uh I uh have I have good
feet, like my my pinky toe

346
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.359
has the full nail, like I
don't have that weird little that thing that

347
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.519
some people get that's gross. Well. The thing you don't want is if

348
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.359
you are, you know, on
a boat for the day, is you

349
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.759
don't want people to be able to
hear you coming as you walk across the

350
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.400
hole. If you're walking on the
deck of the boat and people can hear

351
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.119
you coming up from feet away over
the outboard, that's a problem. You

352
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.359
need to trim those things. Yeah, if you can, If you can,

353
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.680
like hand me something with your foot, you know what it's like,

354
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:18.920
Hey man, can you have me
those plyers and you just grab them with

355
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.759
your toes like that? Put those
in shoes. I don't need to see

356
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:30.200
your hand foot. It's also dangerous
on the like if you're doing the tube

357
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.039
dragging behind the boat, you don't
want you don't want the toes to pop

358
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:37.039
the tube and you know, the
kids and everybody drowns. Yeah, but

359
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.680
it can also slow your It can
slow you down if you just put them

360
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.880
in the water and then act like
an anchor. And it's gonna slow you

361
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.440
down because you have gross feet.
Not everybody you know this, Not everybody

362
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.559
dispers And here's the thing I'm I'm
not I'm not big on like, hey,

363
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.319
you need to get a pet.
I'm just like, if they're gross,

364
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:56.599
just clean them up a little bit. Yeah, I mean it,

365
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.680
paint your toenails. I'm guys and
girls, we can all do that now.

366
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.799
It's it's twenty twenty four. Get
a wagner that way, it feels

367
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:10.000
manlier when you when you do it, you just spray across. Just get

368
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:19.000
the blue tape. What color are
your nails? Black and decker? Yeah,

369
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.279
So have have have good feet and
if you don't, and if if

370
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.359
you're aware you know you have good
feet or not, and if you don't,

371
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:32.480
let's not all feel Yeah. So
the medical profession is pretty difficult unless

372
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:37.519
you're a pediatrist, as we've now
established, heart surgeons though that's a pretty

373
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.960
tough gig, right, And I
don't know if it's a light that is

374
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:48.480
befallen the heart surgeons of Texas,
or if this is just a you know,

375
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:56.279
specific problem in one hospital chain,
but there's been a fifteen million dollars

376
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:02.839
settlement that has been reached after doctors
a leg left heart surgeries to perform other

377
00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:07.920
operations. If there's one thing I
don't want in a surgeon, it's a

378
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:19.240
multitasker or your side hustle. Yeah, if my heart surgeon walks in with

379
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:30.119
my uber eats order, I would
like your second opinion. I got a

380
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:37.440
pepperoni, extra cheese and an appendectomy
for damn. Although it actually would be

381
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:42.279
pretty helpful if it was a I
think it's a gastroentrologist that does the stomach

382
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.799
stapling, So that would actually be
cool because then you can get one last

383
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.599
really big carbon heavy meal and then
after you eat it, they can just

384
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.880
cut it out. Yeah, because
a large Pepperoni pizza to a bypass is

385
00:31:55.920 --> 00:32:13.359
just ironic. Yeah, Oh god, I love this show. There it

386
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:20.359
is Treehouse episode one two, coming
off the heels at the stupidest presidential debate

387
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.000
I've ever seen. I feel better
about it. I'm not sure I totally

388
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:28.240
feel better about the direction our country's
headed in but it's like being on the

389
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:30.480
It's like being on the front seat
of a roller coaster on fire with no

390
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:36.880
track ahead. Stay on the island, Dan, We're all coming. We're

July twenty seventh at the Foe Pool

398

in Dallas, the Fraternal Order of
Eagles in Dallas. That's the Treehouse and

399
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:17.359
the Foe Saturday July twenty seventh,
not only celebrating summer and heat, but

400
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:22.400
also our very own trade Trendholmes fiftieth
birthday. We're going to celebrate by seeing

401
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:29.039
if you can survive in one hundred
and ten degree, whether it's now or

402
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:35.240
if I look like I need to
be on a presidential debate stage. That

403
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.440
actually gives me an idea for a
bit that we could do at the show

404
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.079
July twenty seventh at the Foe Treehouse
on air dot com see later
