That's Not A Toy | Wednesday May 28, 2025 · The Treehouse Show Podcast

• 0:25
  Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside. I'm and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: laugh with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Wednesday, May
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth, two Thy twenty five.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Happy home today.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: All right, we have a lot to get to today,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: one of which is we're going to question how some
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: TV shows.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Get their premises for premises.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: We're also going to delve into the top only fans topics,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the top topics that meant like to talk about with
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: their only fans, benefactors.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Or beneficiaries.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And today we're going to start with something that we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: all need to know. This is hyper educational. This is
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: something that is important and we all need to make
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: sure we're aware of this one thing. This, according to experts,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: this is the one body part you don't want to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: forget to wash. This is the one body part experts
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: say you don't want to forget to wash because it
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: always traps grime and bacteria.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: You guys, have any guesses on what that body part is?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Defeat?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, tray, belly button, that's a good one.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Those are two really really good guesses because both are stinky.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: But those are both wrong.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: According to experts, Dermatologists say behind the ears is the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: one spot most people overlook in their shower routine. This
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: is where dirt, oil, and dead skin cells accumulate quickly.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Left unchecked, the build up can lead to bacterial infections,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: painful skin problems, and a foul, foul odor that lingers
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: long after you have toweled off. This is not surprising
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to me because I grew up in a house where
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they always said, don't forget to wash behind your ears.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't really understand that until I remember as an
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: experiment as a child, Look, I'm not going to do
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that to see what happens.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna rebel.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And then like a few days later, I'm like, I'm
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: rubbing my head and I'm like, oh God, my hants
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: smell terrible. It's because it smells like some funky like
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: blue cheese or gorgon zola type thing was happening behind
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: my ears. And it turns out Grandma was right, wash
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: behind your ears. So I'm happy to say that I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was aware of this answer because when I saw, what's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the one body part you don't want to forget to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: wash behind the ears, especially because it's on your head,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and if you're going to be close with someone, m
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that's a spot that's going to be right near their nose,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So make sure that one's clean.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: There are other ones obviously you need to wash all over.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But that's that's a good it's a good lesson to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: learn inside the treehouse.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Be sure to wash behind your ears. Grandma was right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do every time. And I was reminded of
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: it by the monsters. Every time. Was it Eddie Munster
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the kid was going upstairs? They would always be told
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to wash behind his ears.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It was true.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: A dermatologist are now backing this up. Doctors generally agree
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that your ears do a good job of cleaning themselves,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: so you can probably toss the Q tips, But the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: area around them, that is a different story. According to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: doctor Roger Kapoor, a dermatologist and senior vice president at
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Beloit Memorial Hospital, he said, I always recommend people wash
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the skin behind their ears intentional and specifically to get
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: into the creases of where the ear meets your skin,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: as it can always trap grime. Thank you, doctor Roger Kapoor,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a dermatologist who apparently specializes in ear grime.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: His parents must be so so proud. Well, they're Indians,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: so they are or half Indian, because the Roger is
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: not Indian, but the Kapoor shore is.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: The Kapoor definitely is.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: The Roger might be his birth name or it just
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: might be an english Ist version of his Indian that's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I got.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I got called that a lot because my name is
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Roger r a Ja Roger, and so that got turned.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: That's why the new special. I have a new dry
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Bar special coming out June twentieth, and it's called from
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Roger to Roger.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: That's very, very fitting because we've had numerous listeners over
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the years because when people hear the show and not
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: see it, they don't hear everything, and so they make
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: assumption like we're all white. Yes, because we're being honest.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Raj doesn't sound Indian, but because technically he's not. He's American.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He's from Mesquite, his parents Indian. Raj is American but
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of Indian descent. You were brown, yes, and your name
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is Raj. So a lot of our listeners just assumed
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it was shorty for Roger.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And the reason I changed from Roger to Raj
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: is the first time I ever went on stage. They're like,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: please welcome your first comment, Roja Sharman, and I was like,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: oh my god, it sound like a Jewish holiday. We
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: got to drop the a. I was like, I sound
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: like Rosa Sharma. That's what it sounded like.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You said, Yeah, for some audience members, that might be
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a rocky start. Yes, did you grow up with that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: sort of mentality tray where it was like you had
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the elders telling you to wash certain body parts and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: don't forget here, don't forget there, wash behind your ears,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: don't forget your privates, get all the creases, get all
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the crevices.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, got taught how to to bathe,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: and then I don't remember a lot of coaching thereafter.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: So.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: You didn't need a whole lot of one on one
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: practice time.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, and this.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Is this is where there's something that that will forever,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: and this is where the Penn State Jerry Sandusky thing
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: will ever forever. Take any conversation like this, because that
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: was the premise by which he was like, well, I
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: was teaching him how to bathe because they didn't know
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: how to wash themselves and stuff.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, that's not where the towel goes Jerry.

• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharma.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Today is Wednesday, May twenty eighth, twenty twenty five. We've
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: been having discussions recently here inside the Treehouse Show, a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: lot of which centered around the television show Different Strokes
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and it's premise, and that got me wondering about premises
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: or premises of other well known television shows. And Raj,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you had an interesting thought on TV show reboots.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they should, you know, because they're trying
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: to make everything a little more I don't want to
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: say politically correct, but like inclusive. Like you know, they're
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: changing some characters from reboots that used to be you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: male centric show to you know, females and whatnot. But
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: you know, Different Strokes. If you watch The White Guy,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: the rich white guy pulls up in a limo, snatches
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: two black kids and now they're his, I think it
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: should be the other way around. I think they should
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: have a really rich black person pull up in a
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: limo at a lacrosse practice and take two white kids home,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: and let's just see how that turns out.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: They've done that show before. Really, yeah, it's called America's
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: Most Wanted.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: When it's the rich white guy taking two black kauds,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: it's endearing. When it's a black guy taking two kids
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: from a lacross a field, it's kidnapping.
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: It says a lot, doesn't it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I mean it really does.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Rich white guy kidnapping two black kids from an inner
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: city basketball court gets like seven eight seasons.
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: By the way around, and get your reward.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I just want to see the reboot of Different Strokes.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Where's an Indian guy that just picks up two kids
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: and takes them to a mathnesium.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna that's not going to get picked up
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: by a network.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: That's a pilot thing, huge hid in India.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Uh, you're right, though, because a lot of times when
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they reboot shows, they'll they'll twist them and they'll make
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: them more modern, or they'll update them necessarily, sometimes unnecessarily
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: if we're being honest. But one of the great examples
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: of this, so you're like my garage, you're right, Different
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Strokes has had a bit of a questionable premise where
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: if you remember it in a certain way, it's a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: rich white guy in a limo pulling up to an
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: inner city basketball court and kidnapping to black children. Yes,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: there's another really good example in Hollywood of a questionable
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: premise that turned into a really successful film.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: And the film is Overboard, starring Goldie Han and Kurt Russell.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Did you see this movie, Raj?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: No, but I'm sure you did.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I know Trey did because he's white and that was
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a staple white family eighties movie.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: You've seen it, right, Tray, Okay. So here's the premise
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to Overboard, Raj.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: A rich white woman falls off her yacht and a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: poor white man finds her. She has amnesia. He convinces
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: her because she's so pretty. He convinces her that she
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: had an accident. She can't remember who she is. He
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: convinces her that she's his wife.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: And the mother of all their crazy children.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Gotcha.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Someone went to a Hollywood studio with a script and said,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: here's the idea, and they said, here's a bag of money,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: go have fun, and then they cast Goldie Haun and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Kurt Russell. By today's standards, that's some serious kidnapping, possible enslavement.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't then, I mean it's it's a whore.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: If you saw it in the news, you would be horrified.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Man finds man finds woman with amnesia, claims her as
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: his wife and mother of children, makes her do housework,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: raise the kids, have sex with her, all these things.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: If you saw this in the news, it would spark documentaries.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It would spark numerous podcasts that would never shut up
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: about it, decades of content based on that. Instead, it
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: was a movie someone had for a fund romantic comedy
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in the eighties. Now when they updated it, they did
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a new version of the movie. They updated it and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: they switched the rolls somehow.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I think so it was the the man has the Amnesia.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I believe so.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: And it was still called Overboard? Was it still? And
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: who's who is in the I don't in the reboot?
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I don't even know. Wow, that is uh, that's so
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: well at the box off?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah really, but it really does bring forward.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It begs the question are there other movies and shows
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that we need to look at again and really question.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: It's premise.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but in my head, like the same people that
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: made Overboard, like when he handed the bag of money
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: off and he's like, ha, wait till you see my
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: next film. Ice pirates.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: You leave them out of this.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: No, but the the I mean or or my favorite
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: or the favorite if you're really going to talk about
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: good eighties pitch, it's the truck driver.
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: He's also an arm wrestler.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Keep going, Jenkins, this is why you're you. Everybody else
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: shut up. Jacobs has got a billion dollar idea. Who's
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: the truck driver?
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: Sylvester Stallone?
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Oh my god? How much do you need? Jenkins?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: How much do you need?
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Does he have a kid that he's trying.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: To get custody?
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: Of course, matter of fact, he does.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Replace the monkey with the kid.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: But that's not all.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Because he has dreams of working for himself. And if
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: he can, if he can just win, if he can
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: just win this Ultimate arm wrestling tournament, the grand prize
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just happens to.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Be a big rick, a big rig.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: How does he how does he guys I'm missing something?
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: How does he train his arm as he's driving and
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: raising the child? Where does he get time to work out?

  Speaker 1: Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. It
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: is hump Day Wednesday, May twenty eighth, twenty twenty five.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: We were talking about the premise of the romantic comedy
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: from the eighties Overboard, starring Goldie Hawn Kurt Russell, where
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: he basically kidnaps a rich woman with amnesia and convinces
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: her that she's his wife and they have children. They
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: did an updated version of that film in twenty eighteen
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: starring Anna Faris.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, now in the original version does the memory come back,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: but she still is in love with the family and
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: the yes.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: By the end of the film, her amnesia goes away.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: She realizes who she is, and at this point Stockholm
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: syndrome has said in so much that she realizes she
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: loves this family wholeheartedly. She loves Kurt Russell, the kidnapper
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and the children who were his tiny accomplices so much
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: that she ditches her jerk of a husband, and they
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: all get to sail off into the sunset, but now
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: realizing that they all are rich.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: It's the ultimate eighties.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: But did they ever touch on where the kids came from?
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I think the mom died?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Oh got show? Okah, the first victim, the first.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Dad's first victim.
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: You're right.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: But in the updated version twenty eighteens Overboard, it starred
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Anna Faris and Eugenio deir bez uh So. Anna Faris
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: plays Kate, a single, working class mother of three who's
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: hired to clean a luxury yacht that belongs to Leonardo,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a selfish, spoiled and wealthy Mexican playboy. After unjustly firing Kate,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Leonardo falls off the boat and wakes up with no
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: memory of who he is. To get payback, Kate shows
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: up at the hospital convinces the confused and amnesiac that
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: they're married. As Leonardo tries to get used to manual
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: labor and his new family, Kate starts to wonder how
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: long she can keep fooling her fake husband.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: And when this.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Movie came out, it actually got met with a fair
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: amount of skepticism because of the premise because of the plot,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: whereas thirty years prior is like, oh really sweet.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Two thumbs up from ciscolineber.
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: I.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I feel like we read as much into movies as
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: we do today. But if you want, I'd like to
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: hear your pitch on.
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: This one a reboot.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, the Toy go.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Hell no, oh god, Bruser's millions go.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Trading places now. The Toys pretty much the worst one.
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, Actually, you know what, for the sake of
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: authenticity and to make sure that I get it accurate.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: For the sake of accuracy, Okay, I'm going to share
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: with you the plot to the movie The Toy from
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two. Unemployed journalist Jack Brown played by Richard
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Pryor is attempting to make ends meet as the night
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: janitor in a ritzy department store owned by millionaire Us
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Baits played by Jackie Gleeson. On his annual visit to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: his father's store, Bates, his pampered son Eric, is told
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: he can choose one item in the toy department. To
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: everyone's horror, he chooses Jack. The black man played by
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Richard Pryor, paid handsomely to spend one week with a
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: troublesome kid, Jack soon discovers the roots of Eric's bad behavior.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the premise, the plot to the Toy from
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two is rich white guy's white son goes
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to department store pick out a toy.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: In the toy he chooses is a black man. And
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: then that kid gets older and goes to a basketball
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: court and picks two black kids.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: The cycle continues.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I like to think that eventually one of these black
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: children grows up and becomes the main character in Denzel
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Washington's The Equalizer.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And then gets mister Drummond back.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Well done, Trey, I'm really impressed with that. I would
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: love to I would just now. I got to take
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: you to LA with me so we can walk into
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: a general and be like, you know what, we got
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: this great idea, please present him.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But hey, let's be honest. That's what Hollywood is into
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: right now. Hollywood isn't really into a whole bunch of
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: new ideas. They want to repurpose, repackage all their current
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: ip that they already own.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: And this is one of those examples. It's an extreme one.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: If you go back to the studio that happens to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: be that happens to have the copyrights to the toy
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and say, all right, here's what I'm thinking.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I feel like they're going to give that one away.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like we don't need a new idea.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: We've already got a great one.
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: Oh you want this one?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: No you go, we'd no trademarkers.

• 23:16
  Speaker 1: If you were ever curious about when the tree house
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: falls off its wheels, today's one of those examples. Okay,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: today is one of those examples. Wednesday, May twenty eight,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, is when the wheels really came off
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the treehouse.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Because Raj, you're right.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Look, the eighties movies from the eighties were big on
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: merch boys. It wasn't just enough to win at the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: box office, you had to win at the toy store.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Star Wars did this better than any other film franchise
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: and probably the history of ever. But Hollywood wants to
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: make money every where it can on its properties. And
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: so if you have a movie that comes out in
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two like they did called the toy. Mm hmm,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: you're right, they might make some questioning merchandising.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: No, they didn't. They didn't make any It was the
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: only movie that didn't have action figures, like the what's
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the selling point? This kid? This kid picked the black
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: guy out of the department store. You can have your
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: own too, Like, you don't want that, you don't want
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: how you can too, You don't want that marketing campaign.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: There are certain movies you just didn't make action figures
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: with the toy Gandhi like, you didn't do any of those.
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: There was never a Toby action figure, which.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: On one hand is a real shame because he's a hero.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: But on the other it's when there's the you know ownership, Oh.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: My god, when people figured that one out. You're gonna
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: have cars the road.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to be responsible for a number of traffic accidents,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: which reminds me.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: If you like, if you have a go ahead.
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: Trey mom, why does he look like Lieutenant LaForge?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: If you know of a traffic attorney, a personal injury
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: attorney that would like to advertise here at the tree house,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: some people are gonna need it treehouse on era at
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: gmail dot com. This is a fascinating conversation.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty two, the film The Toy came out in theaters,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: which means beforehand someone had the idea. Someone wrote the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: script where a rich white man and his rich white
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: son go on a shopping spree and he tells me,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: you can buy anything store and the kid chooses the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Black Knight Janitor. Someone went into a boardroom at a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: movie studio and said, here's the idea, to which one
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of them said, I love it. Now let's go to
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the toy department. What do you think. Let's go to merchandising.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Guys, We've got we've got action figures, we've
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: got t shirts. No, let's just bock.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: This up, Uh sir. We feel like this is an
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: opportunity to say that less is more.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Like the HR Department if it existed in the eighties,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: going no, don't do it. The Legal Department's going like, yeah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I just want to know was the Was the movie
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: successful and they didn't do it back then? But I
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: would love to see the demographic of the viewer, just
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: to see who.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Let's start Richard Fryer, It was a pretty solid cross
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: section of America.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know. I don't know about that.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I think Richard did it. This might have been during the
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: freebasing days. You could pitch him anything at that point
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: and he's like, I'll do it Jack.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people say it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: People have said it a lot in recent years because
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of can because of canceled culture and social justice warriors.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: They just don't make movies anymore like they used to.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And there's probably a reason for it when you look
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: at what some of those movies were.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I just like how Trey had that off the Dome.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I got a movie to pitch toy Go. He've been
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: sitting on that one for a second, and I appreciate that. Uh. Yeah,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: it would be interesting to see how you would get
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: away with that today, Like you can't unless Yeah, I
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: don't even know what the juxtaposition would be.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you'd have to you'd have to flip that
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: plot around so much it wouldn't even necessarily be reminiscent
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: of the original.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's probably a good thing.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: That's where you know, we've grown as a culture in
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: this society, I'd like to believe.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now keep in mind, if you if you look
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: at this one level, deeper. It's an interesting glimpse into
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the career of Jackie Gleeson. Jackie Gleeson plays the rich
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: white guy who lets his kid choose the black knight
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: janitor at the toy store for a week to play with.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: This is also the guy who got his big start
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in television making weekly punchlines about punching his wife to
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the moon.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, so domestic violence.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's two great examples from Jackie Gleeson's filmography
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and resume that we got to be like, you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: they just can't make.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Him like that anymore.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Also, wasn't he like the racist sheriff in uh the
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Burt Reynolds.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Smoking a bandit?
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Yep?
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, yeah, so you know it's type casting.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: We're being honest that when at times seemed like an
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: accurate portrayal of southern sheriffs.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, and that was all basically, they just that was
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: a free for all. They were making it up as
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: they go along.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: That's because that's because no writers wanted to claim it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: Well, no, that's because originally when they.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: It was a friend of Burt Reynolds who did the script,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: and he was doing it as a favorite and knowing
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: that it was just bad and he had he pitched
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: it to Jackie glees and they were out having drinks
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: just as a joke, and Jackie Gleason was like, yeah,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: it sounds like fun, but here's it. So in nineteen
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: eighty two, the toy did forty seven million in the
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: box office, which that oh that's not bad for Yeah,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: that's really good. Yeah, but I mean that was right
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: after I mean that was right in the wheelhouse of
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Richard Pryor was what was one of the Jane Wilder yep, yeah,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: and then Brewsters millions and.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was when he was at his uh like
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: his peak viability for getting into films because it was
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: a draw. And what was the budget for the movie?
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Do you know? Like was it like three million dollars
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: to make the movie and made forty seven?
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about it, I had a
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: really strong cast. You got Jackie Gleeson who would have
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: commanded a big salary, Richard Fryer, who was in high demand.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, interesting, and the kid.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: And the kid that played the kid was Scott Schwartzman,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: who was the kid that got his tongue stuck to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the ice pole in a Christmas story.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, gotcha. Okay, Wow, so they were just kind of
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: using the same Yeah. I guess back then they were
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: just kind of using the same people over and over again.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: That's why the Corries were in every other movie back
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: in those days. They were just using the same people
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: to generate the same box office numbers. Smart. Yeah, I
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: like it. I like it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but a lot of those guys were broken.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: No, if the formula's not oh, gotcha, you break the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: people left and right, and then when they're spent, you
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: just insert new people.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that that makes sense. I would like to see
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: a reboot of Friends with at least one, yeah, person
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: of color.
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: It was called a Living Single I think was the
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: name of.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: The well that was the original Friends. Yeah, that's that's
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: where they stole the idea, like, let's just make it
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: six white people in a coffee shop, right, that's exactly.

  Speaker 1: celebrate today this hump day with some birthdays, celebrating his
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: thirty ninth birthday. Is a former NFL lineman and the
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: subject of the Oscar winning film The blind Side. Michael
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Orr is thirty nine today. Michael Or is thirty nine today, which,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: as we've learned from the last couple episodes here of
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the tree House, sort of maybe maybe the Tuys who
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: adopted Michael Or maybe they were inspired by watching Different
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Strokes MM.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: The TV show.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: And and the and the missus Tooyes said she sees
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: this this poor large black man child and says, I've
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: seen different strokes. I have an idea.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he just filed a lawsuit against them
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: last year because they wrote the idea for the screenplay
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: and then didn't give him any of the money.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's been an unfortunate situation that I've that is
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: really really sad and for from everything that I had
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: seen they have and had a very loving family relationship
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and you know, all that kind of stuff, and then.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: It's just a satitution.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's not like either side needed the money.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was he was a very successful NFL
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: player for many many years. Uh, and the Tooies were
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: already loaded. It's not like they needed.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: The movie money. They had. They had fast food franchise money.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But then Hollywood comes knock and then goes, hey,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: let's talk over here for a second. Yeah, you go
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: play football. What's the story? Okay, write it up, pitch it,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: and then we'll give you, you know, seven figures. And
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: then they left, Uh left that guy and they gave
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: him a little bit. And then when he found out
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the total that they made off the movie is when
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: I believe he filed a lawsuit. I think it got
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: thrown out. I'm not sure. I don't know whatever happened
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to it. They didn't really cover it very much.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Well, if memory serves, there there was a question as
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: to because you're right, it was within the last couple
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: of years. And I think the big question was that
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: movie came out in two thousand and nine and I
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: believe a lot of there there was questions because I

  Speaker 1: it came out he cheated on his wife with a
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Latin woman from Argentina.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he was. That was the thing where apparently
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: he went hiking and he then was declared missing because
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: his phone was found on the hike. What it was, yeah,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: and so when he he went missing, he had to
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: come clean, like, oh my bad. I sent my assistant
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: out with my phone with instructions to leave it there.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't think anybody was gonna notice. I wouldn't had
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: a fling with my and he married that lady. I
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: believe it's also the same. You know the Malaysia flight
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: that went that went missing, like he still hasn't been found.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: There was a guy who said he was on that flight,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: but he had gone to Vegas with his buddies for
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: a bachelor for a bachelor party because his future wife
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: didn't want him doing that. So he's like, no, no,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going here, and so he was booked two flights
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: so he's on both manifests, and so he had to
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: come clean or never come home again. One of the two.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: He had to either come clean about what happened or
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: stay missing.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Wow, how committed to the lie?
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Are you?
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: He's a blackjack dealer circus circus now the Bachelor Party
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: that Never ended?
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Baseball legend.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Kirk Gibson turned sixty eight to day one of the
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: most iconic images of World Series Baseball at night teen
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: eighty eighty one Baseball's MVP. As a member of the Dodgers,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: they made it to the World Series, where he hit
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: one of the most memorable home runs in baseball history,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: fist pumping his way around second base and probably doing
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: the same around a number of hotel rooms that night.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't know who that. I'm really not
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: a big baseball guy. So what was the iconic home run?
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: What did he do? Did he like point? Did he
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: do that thing like the Baby Ruth thing where he
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: it was a.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Pinch hit home run. He played for the Dodgers. He
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: was injured and it was a tie game and slim
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Fast spokesperson slash Dodgers manager Tommy Lesorda called him up
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to pinch hit smacked a home run over the right
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: field wall to I think win that game and then
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: force an additional game that the Dodgers ended up winning
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: the World Series.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Huh? Is that where I got the like the Tom
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Behringer character in whatever that baseball movie was, Major League,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: I could be like kind of So.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: It might have been a little inspiration in that, because
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I think Major League came out ninety and the World
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Series home run Kirk Gibson did was eighty eight, So
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: there might have been a little bit of inspiration there.
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and he was he was in definitely in the
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: latter years of his career.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: See, I know some stuff there we go, look at you.
• 40:19

  Speaker 1: A little bit left inside the Treehouse Today Wednesday, May
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth, twenty twenty five. Movies have been a big
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: topic on the show today, so let's stay with that.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you some new ish movie news.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: All right, are you ready for more? Lethal Weapon?
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: No? I thought he was too old for this.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: He was Danny Glover's character, Detective Roger Murtau was too
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: old for this and the very first Lethal Weapon that
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: came out in like eighty eight or eighty nine. Now
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: they're gearing up for Lethal Weapon five, and I feel
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: like Detective Murtaw is going to need a new catchphrase
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: because that one's just old.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: But it's true.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: So they've decided here that they're not too old for it.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Lethal Weapon co stars Mel Gibson, who's sixty nine, and
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Danny Glover, who is seventy eight, reminded fans of the
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: iconic catchphrase featured in all four films, and they reunited
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: over the weekend thirty eight years after the first movie launch.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: The reunion happened at a fan expo in Philadelphia, where
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: the legendary duo fielded questions about the long delayed fifth
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Lethal Weapon installment, so it still looks like it's happening.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they're waiting on. It's not like
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: you need a really gripping plot at this point.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Lethal Weapon five retirement party.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: That's the irony in this is Danny Glover's character, Detective
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Richard Murtau in the first Lethal Weapon movie thirty eight
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: years ago, was on the Cusper retirement. Do you know
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: how old he was in that Trey's Trey's age fifty?
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you wow.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: I think well, Danny Glover when he that first role,
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: he was forty two, I think yeah. Like, but yeah,
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: they've been talking about this for honestly, if memory serves,
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: they were talking about this before Mel Gibson gotten all
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: that hot water, and then it got shelved and then
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: now like, yeah, it's.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: It is interesting how their lives have somewhat how the
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: actors' lives have kind of paralleled the characters and Lethal
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Weapon loosely. But hear me out, So Danny Glover's character
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: was too old for this stuff in the first movie.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Now he really is too old for this role. Mel
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Gibson on the other hand, who played the crazy cop
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Rigs and the first one has himself.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Kind of gone crazy. Yeah, real life. So it's been interesting.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: You've had their lives to kind of paralleled a little
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: bit with their characters.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know he's sober now, so he doesn't
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: that's what Bell Gibson's Yeah, yeah, very sober. But his
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: great quote at Sunset Tower. But he was having meeting
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: with him and the waitress asked if he wanted something
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: to drink, and he said, you don't want me to
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: do that, and she didn't know who he was, but
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: she wasn't aware. She was young. She's like, and why
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: is that? He goes, because I'll drink every bottle and
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: bang every models by the time I leave.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: He got his start, yes, as mad Max, because he
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: had been on a bender in a bar fight and
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: got out of the hospital, had like a ok and
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: collar bone lacerations, went to the audition and they looked
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: at him like, you're perfect.
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean at this point, the lethal weapon
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: is going to be the hip replacement.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of been the that was that was
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: sort of the premise of some of the movies as
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: it was then it really is they really are too
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: old for it.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Where else can.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: They possibly go unless they actually do embrace the drink,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: every bottle bang, every model.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: And that's what lethal Weapon five.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Is based on. I think there's it's like legal Weapon
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: five icy Hot.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: It's like lethal Weapon five meets what the ice cube
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: and r V I.
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: Leath the Weapon five. They got their meds mixed up?
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: How sad is it that I watched that? I'm curious
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Riggs and Murtau take on Big Pharma.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Wrong Blue Pill, Rigs.
