It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse.
0:31
I'm Dan O'Malley, along with Trade Trendhome and Raj Sharman lots to get
0:38
to today. Before we do that, I want to first mention that if
0:44
you have not listened to the Treehouse Plus episode, which is available on Patreon
0:50
dot com slash Treehouse on Air, that is Patreon p A t r e
0:55
o n dot com slash Treehouse on Air, please do so because that is
1:00
our mea culpa, our attempt at clearing our names in the death of Richard
1:06
Simmons. So it's important that you listen or watch the Treehouse Plus episode.
1:14
We did not kill Richard Simmons, and all of our reasons why Raj is
1:17
a little we're not sure on that one. That's that's part of the investigation
1:19
that we put forth in that mini episode. It's also our first step in
1:26
establishing the rights to the story sotflix, I I give them to you.
1:34
Uh. So this is in Texas. It's binding because Trey's dad started that
1:38
president president of a binding thing in Texas. So I give you both the
1:44
rights, uh to the story. I'm not saying how many percentage points to
1:49
the two of you. So you guys fight that out in court. Fair
1:52
enough. See what he's doing, Trey, he's he's still he's still the
1:57
mastermind. That's right. Be careful. We don't want him to Yeah,
2:01
I wish I will on one of us, certainly. Not. No,
2:06
you guys should look you guys both look great. Shut up, you take
2:09
that back. No, you guys look healthy. You shut up that that's
2:14
how you do things. You are aggressively saying something and the person ends up
2:20
injured or dead. Take it all back. I'm telling us we look terrible.
2:23
I can't tell it to take it Aboauck I mean Dan, I mean
2:24
you're always working out. You look great, You eat well. Tray,
2:28
same thing, fit looking great. You both are wearing black T shirts.
2:30
This is this is nice. I mean, you guys look good. That's
2:34
all I'm saying. I think we look John, just tell us we look
2:36
John just No, I'm just you guys look flushed like, full of life
2:38
and energy. And I mean one hundred years more for you guys. All
2:43
right, I gotta make a note now, get insurance policy for terrort.
2:46
Yeah A numbered has said, so yeah, no, No, the only
2:52
reason I'm saying that is you guys' policy just cleared, so good. All
2:54
right, anyway, welcome in the tree house. Let's get stupid. Speaking
3:02
of stupid, is there anything dumber than air travel? And actually I shouldn't
3:07
say dumber than air travel, because air travel itself is amazing, the fact
3:13
that we as a species have found a way to fly, right, But
3:21
then we always balance ourselves out with every accomplishment as a species, right,
3:28
So like we'll create or invent or discover something, and then the rest of
3:37
us will do everything we can to ruin it. And air travel is a
3:40
great example because men, women, child being able to get in a metal
3:47
tube and fly anywhere on the planet is an amazing feat. But then greedy
3:54
a holes decide to charge us an arm and a leg for it and then
3:58
find all these different ways to ruin it, right, So that's that's what
4:03
we do as a species. Will do something great, and then we kneecap
4:06
it right and make it kind of terrible at the same time. Like we've
4:11
got internet. Internet's amazing, and what do we do with it? We
4:14
share stupid memes. Yeah, and that's actually a good part of the what
4:18
we do. I didn't want to go too dark. I'm just like the
4:23
idea of the internet. Back in the nineties when we were all kind of
4:25
learning about what this Internet thing was. It's like, Oh, it's going
4:27
to be this great, It's an information super highway. And then it's and
4:30
then it's me sharing gifts of Kermit the fraud sipping tea. Well, if
4:35
there's if there's anything that humanity does, is we dune it down. Yes,
4:40
that's the And then and then that's what we do. You know what
4:43
it is. We draw on the cave walls because the chief of the tribe
4:46
thousands of years ago said, Hey, instead of sleeping out in the rain,
4:51
let's go in that cave, let's do that. And then and then
4:55
click cluck whatever decided. You know what, that's not good enough. This
4:58
place needs to be decorated. So I'm gonna draw my dick on it.
5:01
Yeah. Yeah, And then somebody comes somebody like click clack abbot comes by
5:06
and goes, you can't draw dicks, No, no more dicks. And
5:12
then he makes the internet, doesn't you can't have porn in Texas. And
5:15
then and then tum tum from the back of the cave screams out, hey,
5:18
I bet, I'm sorry. I can't, I can't resist, I
5:23
know, but yeah, so, I mean we we do take wonderful creations
5:29
and then poop on them. So and here's another great example of that.
5:34
On Friday, air passengers around the world faced delays, cancelations, and problems
5:42
checking in as airports and airlines were caught up. Then a massive IT outage
5:46
that also affected industries ranging from banks to media companies. Some would say those
5:50
last two were one and the same. Some airlines and airports said they were
5:54
back online, with the US government holding out hopes that the transportation system would
5:58
be back to normal by sat hope. Out of over one hundred and ten
6:02
thousand scheduled commercial flights on Friday two thousand, six hundred ninety one had been
6:08
canceled globally, and more were expected to be called off. This is and
6:13
this is you know from this is an older story from earlier in the day
6:15
on Friday. And I'm sure you're wondering, well, how is it that
6:18
an entire air travel IT system can go so wrong so quickly, all in
6:28
one day, And if you think about it, you know the answer.
6:31
It was a Microsoft update that makes me. That makes me way more happy.
6:43
No, here's I mean, it's not. It's just I'm like,
6:46
hey, well, my people, so Microsoft is a number one tech company
6:51
for hiring Indian people. So you know some guy who just spilled his massolity
6:56
on his keyboard that are secretly the airlines has still been running Windows ninety eight
7:04
when we all know they should have stuck with ninety five. But had they
7:12
been running Windows all the planes would have fallen out of it. Yeah,
7:19
but it really was. It was likely due to a glitch in Microsoft software
7:25
used globally. That should be that should be on the when you when you
7:30
book your flight now from now on, would instead of like would you like
7:34
a you know, a more leg room or you know, do you want
7:39
to in flight meal, it should be like, do you want a plane
7:42
with the updated software? And you know who wouldn't way to charge more for
7:46
that? Yes, spirit, that's right, you can run your risk.
7:54
I mean this could be an updated plane. It might not be an updated
7:57
plane, we don't know, but if you want for fifty five five dollars
8:00
more, you can be on an updated plane. And I think some of
8:03
the other airlines have realized that this model is working well for Spirit, so
8:07
they're trying to take some inspiration and use it on their own systems, like
8:13
all the other airlines that use the Boeing planes, saying, well, if
8:16
you want the plane to get there in one piece, that's gonna be an
8:20
extra fee. Do you want the door to open mid flight, then that's
8:26
you don't okay, thirty five bucks because two Spirit Airlines is credit. Yeah,
8:31
they don't use Boeing aircraft. Right, they still use the right brother's
8:35
plane. They're still using that model, and they're still using their right brother's
8:46
corpses to fly it. That's the only plane. You gotta push start the
8:50
Captain's like you guys, push, I'm gonna pop the clutch. Don't forget
8:56
to done. I mean, I joke. I just flew them to Philadelphia
9:01
on tip. The flight was the only thing was the flight was delayed an
9:03
hour coming back from Philadelphia. Everything else great. Uh see, they got
9:09
you there. That's really all they promise is we'll get you there at some
9:16
point, right, at some point you'll get there. Uh yeah, so
9:20
yeah, so right. The only thing that they can say is we won't
9:26
They will try not to lose your luggage and Uh, well, we'll get
9:28
you there at some point. And I appreciate Spirit for that. They're like,
9:33
hey, our chair suck nothing, leans back, everything costs. I'm
9:39
waiting for them to charge for the bathroom. That's gonna that's gonna be next.
9:43
But yeah, I mean, and keep in mind that it's it's not
9:46
just you know, customers that feel betrayed by the airlines. Sometimes the employees
9:52
themselves don't feel in lockstep with their employer mm hmm, like the gate agents.
10:00
So even so, if you've been frustrated on any airline, especially a
10:05
Spirit Airlines flight, chances are the employees are as well. And I have
10:11
a great example of that that happened recently at the Hollywood Burbank Airport at one
10:18
of the Spirit Airlines gates. Oh yeah, I don't know what aircraft.
10:41
I know what I have. I'm gonna be honest, I don't know what
10:43
aircraft. I don't know what's going on. You guys won't give me a
10:46
minute. Please give me a minute. Oh I think trade just fell in
10:54
love. Look at his face. That's my kind of lady. Frustrated and
11:01
angry, m crazy enough to talk to a gate full of airline passengers that
11:09
you don't know what they have in their bags. Yeah, she's taking chances.
11:13
She's about to start spinning and levitate. Well, then some of the
11:18
passengers could ride her to their destination. She's go see word away from an
11:24
interncontinental flight, and we don't mean Concord. Eight three three Cook df W
11:46
is the phone number to reach Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration for
11:50
your free roof inspection. Let's get Daniel into the treehouse now. And I'm
11:54
going to ask you a question that I asked Raj and Tray not that long
11:56
ago, and that is, if you had to fight to the death,
12:01
either a meth field attack squirrel or Gary Busey, choose wisely, we'll both
12:07
scare the hell out of me. They should. I've seen some recent pictures
12:13
of Gary Busey, and goodness, gracious, man, I don't know what
12:16
he's done, but I'm like, this is a prime example why I'm gonna
12:20
quit drinking. I mean, and wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle.
12:24
Yes, so, oh man, you know those squirrels are Those squirrels are
12:30
nasty, and especially a meth field squirrel. You know, those are big
12:35
rodents and people just if they think they're fluffy and cute. But people don't
12:37
look at them like they're rats. You know. People look at a rat,
12:41
they're like, oh, disgusting. At the squirrel like, oh,
12:43
oh cute, They're like, no, they're the same thing. One just
12:46
has a big fluffy tae. Yeah, And I'm thinking that they could jump
12:50
and maybe get me in some places I don't want to get I'm gonna take
12:52
Gary. I'm gonna take Gary Busey on if you if you have issues with
12:56
your roof, whether it's a meth field attack, squirrels making holes in your

14:03
On the heels of the super frustrated Spirit Airlines gate agents, which I
14:09
understand because I experienced that myself recently when I tried to come to Vermifest last
14:16
month and I couldn't get there. I could tell the gate agents themselves were
14:20
frustrated because they weren't being told what was happening yet all these flights around us
14:24
being canceled and they were told, we're delayed, we're waiting on flight crew,
14:28
We're just delayed. We're just waiting on the flight crew. As soon
14:31
as they get here, we'll get everybody on board and we'll get you on
14:33
your way. And then like fifteen minutes later they said they just told us
14:35
the flight's canceled. We're very sorry everybody. So these companies seem to leave
14:39
the gate agents in the dark, and I get it as a traveler,
14:41
you're mad, you want to scream at somebody, but I would. I'm
14:46
making a big assumption here, But it's not the gate agent's fault. They're
14:52
not the ones deciding whether or not you get to travel. They are literally
14:56
the messenger that you're trying to kill. Is this you backpedaling kind of sucking
15:01
up a little bit because you're traveling next week and you know, yeah,
15:03
so I couldn't change my Spirit Airlines flight to Texas next week. I'm sorry
15:09
this week. See that's how jacked up my am mumbrane, because it's like,
15:13
Okay, we're moving and we're coming to Texas and doing all these things
15:16
at the same time. I'm not even sure what day it is. I'm
15:20
not even gonna ask. It doesn't matter. I'm not even sure what day
15:22
it is. But I fly this week, and because of the crap I
15:24
went through with the last time I tried flying Spirit, we already had these
15:28
tickets books, so we couldn't change them becacause, of course, if you
15:31
want to change your flight from Spirit, you got to pay extra for that.
15:35
So yeah, I get to fly again this week and hopefully I actually
15:37
get there before you get on that plane. You need to do whatever you
15:48
need to do. I don't know if it's church, what, cleanse yourself,
15:54
but you need to leave your power issues on the island. Don't bring
15:58
that juju back to Texas. Urkott Orkott won't have it. How is all
16:07
the islands not island islands wide power generation issues my fault? How is that
16:14
my fault? Don't put that on meatrin home the same way you know,
16:18
Roch kills people, you kill grids. Okay, Look, just because my
16:23
house in Carrollton when we were living in Texas got frozen out by ice apocalypse
16:30
back in twenty twenty one, doesn't mean I had anything to do with it.
16:33
And we have it. We in Texas have not had any grid issues
16:37
since you departed for the islands. Now, since you've got to the islands,
16:41
you've had plenty of power issues. That is not my fault. These
16:45
islands had power issues long before I got here. They only just seem to
16:48
coincidentally have gotten worse since my arrival. I've never heard about anything before,
16:52
but now you know, you make fun of WAPA and everything else, and
16:57
it just keeps getting worse and worse. You need to make peace with the
17:00
cut, say you're sorry, sacrifice a chicken. I don't know, just
17:06
do something. Go see the goat Man. Yes, there anything else I
17:11
can do besides a public apology to rkot, Like, like, is there
17:15
some other cleansing I can do that that doesn't involve that. Look, I'd
17:19
be willing to bring in that little old lady from the Poltergeist. I'm happy
17:23
to do that. You want me cleanse? Do you want me to go
17:29
through a river of poop and stuff like Andy Duframe did in Shah Shank and
17:34
come out the other and clean and arriving in Dallas. I just want you,
17:40
I I just want you to make peace with the power gods so we
17:44
don't have because right now I feel like the minute you get here blackout.
17:48
Mm hmm. What if I took the fire hose like Rambo did in First
17:52
Blood? Would that would that cleanse me? To your satisfaction? I think
17:56
Roger's right. Go see the goat Man. Yeah, yeah, by uh?
18:00
Or one of the you know, one of the I don't chicken lady,
18:03
a chicken lady or yeah, goat man, the swinger guy on the
18:07
boat that makes jewelry. You know, that's that. That was nothing about
18:14
that tray was going to be clean. That was that was going to be
18:18
a very dirty thing. Uh what if? What? What if this?
18:25
What if I found a way to divert our connecting flight up north so that
18:32
way I could cleanse myself in the in the waters of Lake Minnetonka before flying
18:38
to df W Are you are you flying into Florida again? Ye? Yeah,
18:44
knock their power out just just you. Yeah, and Florida for us.
18:48
But when and then when you're taking that connecting flight to here, you
18:53
leave that behind, You leave all the power outages in Florida. Yeah,
18:57
Well, while you're in Florida, smoke some meth, run naked through a
19:00
trailer park, you know, scream at the gods, and then and then
19:04
come to Dallas and you clean Yeah, absolutely, or just shed all of
19:10
it in Florida. That's right, that's right, like the pythons in the
19:14
Everglades do. Yeah, you're gonna get baptized in bath salts like that's what
19:18
you're gonna That's what you gotta do. And you got to feed a squirrel
19:25
meth. That's what you have to do right there, that's your penance.
19:29
You have to dunk yourself in bath salts, feed a feed a squirrel meth
19:33
naked h and then run through the airport under your onto the flight yelling I'm
19:41
free, I'm Danny, I'm free. And then don't hit the door with
19:45
your head as hard as you can because you don't understand height and like you
19:51
may have grown, we don't know those the doors may have gotten smaller.
19:53
I'm just combining all of your childhood things and every news story we have into
19:57
one cleansing ritual. We'll hang on. There's one more here, because we
20:02
are making our connecting flight in Fort Lauderdale. And there's anything that is possible
20:08
to happen in Florida at the Fort Lauderdale Airport, it will happen. It's
20:14
like Murphy's Law is an airport, right. So just last week there was
20:19
an altercation at the Fort Lauderdale Airport. I'm not sure if you guys heard
20:25
this or saw this. I have not heard this audio. I've only saved
20:29
it on my phone. I've seen the video, but I have not heard
20:33
the actual audio of this. But this was actual audio. Of a girlfriend
20:37
screaming at her boyfriend at the Fort Lauderdale Airport after going through security. Now,
21:10
keep in mind that this little altercation is happening in my living room.
21:23
D It's happening in my dreams. This this, this would be from your
21:30
bedroom. Let's be I happen to know exactly where this young lady is screaming
21:38
at her boyfriend inside the Fort Lauderdale Airport. I've been to that airport enough
21:42
times that I know the exact chairs they're sitting in. I know that just
21:48
off camera to the right is a very lovely display of artwork done by airport
21:55
employees and their children. I'm pretty sure the little cleaning person down the hallway
22:04
headed towards Terminal G by the way I've seen her. But this is the
22:11
kind of stuff that happens in the Fort Lauderdale Airport. That poor boyfriend,
22:25
and that's her screaming at somebody recording that poor man. Yeah, I would
22:48
just love it if he just looked at him, was like, I don't
22:48
know you are you? Maybe that's where he should go to T s A
22:57
and say, uh uh, some someone packed this thing. I was unaware
23:04
for Mesa'd be like that's on you, man. We don't get paid enough
23:11
for this. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online a treehouse on
23:29
air dot com. Let's get Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing into the Treehouse now phone
23:41
number two one four thirty six, eight thirty eight thirty eight for any and
23:44
all of those plumbing wants and needs and the website of course, Brooks Plumbing
23:47
Texas dot com. Now. Jacqueline is a dog lover, she's a horse
23:51
lover, she's a plumbing lover when it comes to the business world, and
23:55
she also loves to give back. What did you do recently, Jacqueline,
23:59
to help about your community? We filled a horse trailer because that's what we
24:04
had access to at the time, full of blankets, pillows, umbrellas,
24:10
ponchos, and towels and took them to the Dallas Veterans Resource Center on Lancaster
24:17
and donated to them. The Veterans Resource Center the VRC has a bunch of
24:23
different kind of arms of what it does, and one of the things that
24:26
it does is it has an outreach for homeless veterans in the Dallas part of
24:32
the Metroplex. There's kind of a similar facility in Arrant County, but really
24:37
cool. I like that organization a lot. And it all started with this
24:40
guy. His name is Kenneth, and Kenneth spent his time as a retiree
24:45
just volunteering to give rides to physically disabled veterans from their homes to the VA
24:49
for their appointments. And it grew from Kenneth in a very sketchy looking van
24:55
to a whole facility that now offers free of charge. Well, they certificate
25:00
training two veterans that are struggling so they can go out and get a job.
25:03
So this facility feeds and has facilities for homeless veterans to shower and come
25:10
get things that they need, all the way down to welding training, and
25:14
they also have for any veterans in the in the audience. It's very hard
25:18
to get a hold of the VA, and they have full time employees that
25:21
do nothing but bridge the gap and help you get through to the right department
25:23
in the VA to get the benefits that you need. So they're great advocates
25:27
for veterans who are both struggling and who just need help on the phone,
25:32
because being on hold at the VA makes you want to throw your phone out
25:34
of the window, just gone. I did it. It's terrible. Schuld.
25:37
Not only make sure you're taken care of, but her community as well.

27:02
I like it. This is Lagrange, Illinois. A person urinated on a
27:08
Lagrange, Illinois church statue then twice rammed a bicyclist who was taking a photo
27:14
of the incident. The suspect was identified as forty three year old Leelu Reader
27:19
of Chicago Ridge. The suspect, whose gender was listed as unknown, probably
27:25
because the officers didn't want to check, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated
27:30
battery, and criminal property damage. Yeah, it really is a full day,
27:37
you're right, tri Yeah, I mean they do say bad things come
27:41
in threes. I don't know there was a statue of the Virgin of Guadaloupe
27:49
in Lagrange like that. Oh, I don't know if it's the statue of
27:55
Guadeloupe, but I mean it's a Virgin Mary statue. Virgin Mary statue,
27:57
I don't know. I didn't know that there was one of them? Was
28:00
there? And look Range at a Catholic church? Sure, yeah, Mary's
28:06
statues all over the place. They also got them in the stained glass up
28:07
with the apostles. Yeah, oh yeah, Okay, I mean I don't.
28:11
I don't. I don't frequent the churches there or or peon things outside.
28:17
So well then you ain't living. Having gone to Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic
28:25
School in Dallas for fourth and fifth grade, I can tell you that there
28:29
are churches outside of Mexico, especially the Catholic ones, that have Virgin Mary
28:33
statues in them. Gotcha. Okay, although it does seem to be the
28:38
closer you get to the equator, is is where those statues have a tendency
28:42
to cry, especially tears of blood. Okay, I don't think there's been
28:47
a Virgin Mary statue crying tears of blood in Ohio that I'm aware of.
28:53
Well, let this girl hit it with her car. Let's see what happens.
28:57
See, I don't know if it's a girl. That could be a
29:00
guy. Isn't it the name of the girl on the Fifth Element or whatever
29:04
that was? Yeah, that was definitely a girl. Yeah, because based
29:10
on the mugshot of this individual, you don't want to see him wearing that
29:12
Fifth Element outfit. But it wouldn't be shocking, It would not be shock
29:19
yet, So I'll tell you. I'm going to show you the mug shot
29:22
of Leelu Reader, the forty three year old attempted murder suspect who pissed on
29:27
the statue of the Virgin Mary and then ran over a cyclist twice. But
29:32
I'm not sure if you're prepared for it. All right, okay, all
29:34
right, could be just a moment. We pull up said mug shot of
29:38
the murder suspect and here we go. Oh yeah, is it just me
29:47
or does this look like our buddy Jerry called? Well, if he made
29:49
a few different life decisions, that's what he looked like, if he would
29:56
have stopped collecting his toenails, to which Jerry would say, this is why
30:00
he must continue. Do we know if Jerry's adopted? We just found his
30:07
dad, but must run in the family, because I mean, it was
30:12
through the show that his son found him, so I think it would make
30:21
sense. Although I'm actually pretty sure Jerry's older than forty three, so that
30:27
would make Leelu here younger than him his offspring. Maybe he's got another kid
30:34
running around he didn't know about. Wow, that is a good God.
30:41
He's yeah, he's mad, he's made some rough decisions or is it a
30:47
he I can't tell. Well. Again, the police officers left gender unknown
30:52
because again I don't think they wanted to. I searched that much. It
30:56
probably depends on who he's getting the mes from and how bad he needs it.
31:07
Talk about gender roles fluid. Also, there's fluid on the groundle louse
31:25
whatever you need it to be leaking? Oh lord, oh boy. Now
31:38
I'll say because Lee Lou's by bar. But what if what if that was
31:45
its plan all along? Yeah, that's when you know what's bad. When
31:51
the inmates are like, please know leelud today, please no, please give
31:56
me solitary. We can't be in here with that ding just peas on everything.
32:07
It's like a cat and heat that smells like you gets on everything.
32:24
You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online, that Treehouse on air dot
32:30
com. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online, that Treehouse on
32:46
air dot com. Don't forget about the Treehouse pool party this Saturday at the
32:53
Fraternal Order of Eagles. That's this Saturday, July twenty seventh, at the
33:00
Foe Pull on our Turo Drive in Dallas for with people. I promise we
33:05
will do a road show closer to you. But I don't know of any
33:08
any fun public pools or semi private public pools like the Foe in Fort Worth.
33:15
If you know of one, please let me know. We'll see if
33:16
we can set something up another time. But this road show because it's hot
33:22
and because I like the Foe pool and they have good setup with food and
33:27
drinks and stuff, and they were willing to take us. So that's uh.
33:30
Those are those are some of the big you know, requirements that we
33:32
have for doing a road show. Is one that had to be we need
33:35
consent. Location comes after that. They have to be able to want us,
33:43
yes, and we too have to want them. You know. It's
33:45
I gotcha. Yeah. Okay, So I told you about the Lagrange,
33:52
Illinois man who pissed on the Virgin Mary and then ran over a bicyclist twice.
33:55
So that is option number one as far as best worry of the day.
34:00
M h Are you prepared for option number two? Mm hmm. Okay,
34:07
it's gonna beat LEELU. Sounds like something that happens often, but let's
34:17
find out. Disney has changed the name of one of its decades old characters
34:29
after being deemed offensive and derogatory. All right, now, this is one
34:34
of the characters that is a lesser known in the Disney universe. It's not
34:39
you know, Ariel the Mermaid, it's not Sleeping Beauty, it's not Cinder
34:43
Well and none of those m This is farther down the chain of Disney characters.
34:50
And when you have as many characters as Disney does, it can take
34:52
a long time to go through the list of offenses and then try to right
34:58
those wrongs. Mm hm. So they've managed now to go down the list
35:02
all the way to the Country Bear Jamboree bears, and now they're starting to
35:08
write some of those wrongs. Okay. Following a seven month refurbishment at Disney
35:15
World, one of the bears from the Country Bear Jamboree, named liver Lips
35:22
mcgrawl, has gone under a name change. The attraction first opened its doors
35:37
back in nineteen seventy one, featuring eighteen bears performing old country songs, and
35:43
according to the Disney Inside the Magic blog, the bear's name was considered derogatory
35:47
to alcoholics. Yes that I was waiting the decision to remove liver Lips mcgowl.
36:00
Sorry, I messed that up. The decision to remove Liverlips mcgrowel was
36:04
driven by concerns over the character's name. Liver lips is said to be associated
36:08
with excessive alcohol consumption leading to liver damage. And just to see if you
36:15
think there's any truth to this, I'm going to show you a photo of
36:21
lizard Lips mcgrowl from the Country Bear Jamboree band to see if you think there's
36:24
any accuracy to the physical appearance to the name liver lips mcgrowl. Okay,
36:40
and the name was offensive. It's funny to see a bear playing a ukulele
36:51
that's an animatronic, especially hysterical. When I look at the lips in question
36:55
and think I've seen this on a human before. I don't understand what do
37:07
you mean? I don't understand how this is offensive because liver lips is derogatory
37:14
towards alcoholics. I mean, Trey, are you offended right now? You're
37:20
the You're the closest person I can ask. The last guy died, so
37:30
I don't know if he'd be offended if I called him liver lips mcgrawl or
37:35
not. That might have been the first step Dan to get them help.
37:55
Uh you know, I know, I because I didn't know if this was
38:00
animatronics, people in costume, furry gay guys so liver lips no, I
38:08
mean, uh, I have noticed you started licking your lips a lot in
38:14
the last minute or so, I mean slurry mcbear, Like, what are
38:22
the other names in the country bear Jamboree? Is Hepsie McGee one when you
38:28
look at as well, pancreat, Titus Pete, Jaundice, Jerry, Ladies
38:40
and gentlemen cross Steve are they is the whole Jamboree drunk? I mean,
38:52
that's kind of the assumption maybe on somebody's but maybe that was just maybe that
38:59
was just limit deliver lips. I'm not sure how Lupus o'furrey feels about it.
39:08
And they're worried about that. They still have that whole song of the
39:14
South thing. Yeah, there is that, some of them. Yeah,
39:20
nobody gonnaddress the Donald Duck still doesn't wear pants. Some of the other bears
39:27
in the country Bear Jamboree. Uh, there's the sunbonnets. Okay, there's
39:34
Tricksy Saint Clair. Oh, that's offensive tors. There's a there's Wendell Well
39:45
that's just offensive. There's Melvin Buff and Max. There's Henry liver Lips mcgrowl,
39:57
who, by the way, his name has been that hairpiece that liver
40:01
Lips wears. It's far more offensive. Yeah, so they changed his name
40:07
to Romeo mcgrow But I feel like it should have been Conway because it looks
40:14
a lot like a Conway twitty pompador type of thing. Yeah. Uh,
40:17
but I do wonder though, one of the other Country Bear Jamboree bears,
40:22
if they're gonna look at changing its name because it's offensive, is the one
40:24
named big Awl. Should we ask him? Tray? So there you have
40:52
it. The Country Bear Jamboree ride at disney World is gone woke. Thank
40:59
god that problem solved. We can all go about our lives now, all
41:04
right. Thanks for hanging out with us inside the Treehouse. We will see
41:07
you Saturday at the Treehouse Pool Party at the Fraternal Order of Eagles on our
41:10
turo Drive in Dallas one to four pm live taping of this here show from
41:15
one to three. We will have merch hats, shirts, koozies, stickers,
41:20
and we will be there hanging out with you. Come have some fun
41:22
with us. Bathing suit's options. Wait, no, swimming is optional,
41:25
bathing suiter mandatory. Make sure to get that proper said. Come, hang
41:31
out, jump in the pool if you want, don't. Drinks if you
41:35
want, don't if you don't, because I don't know if anyone wants to
41:37
be confused with old liver lips. But just in case you don't have to,
41:43
we will see you on Saturday at the Treehouse pool party.
