  Congratulations, you have made it. It is Friday and you have made it.
• 0:29
  Inside the Treehouse, I'm Danilmaley along with Trey Trenholme and no longer Special
• 0:38
  and just fyi, Raj. I'm not the one that said you're a little
• 0:41
  that you're no longer special. Halo Haleen from Pausing the City said that because
• 0:45
  she's already listened to the most recent episode and one of the first things she
• 0:49
  said when she walked in the door is hi, Raj isn't special anymore?
• 0:54
  And she threw a dog at me and ran away. Luckily she felt bad
• 0:58
  for the dog because the dog is blind. She actually has with her today
• 1:02
  from Pause in the City Muggsy that we first heard about all the way back
• 1:04
  at Daddy Rabbits bub in Louisville, and now we get to meet Muggsy in
• 1:10
  person. Yeah, is Muggsy though like wire hair terrier mix that we talked.
• 1:15
  Okay, can you can you hold muggs up just a little bit to
• 1:19
  disturb him? He was quite lumpy in my lap. He's kind of nap
• 1:23
  Oh, he got quite comfy in my lap. He decided to take a
• 1:26
  nap. This is the most Chili's Ben since Vin here, so Muggsy is
• 1:33
  eight years old. Muggsy is eight years old. Has he been blind for
• 1:38
  all eight years? We're not sure if he's been blind for all eight years.
• 1:42
  But honestly, despite the fact that he's blind, he gets around really
• 1:45
  well. And he even has a little bumper hula hoop to put around his
• 1:49
  neck for a new environments so he doesn't bump into stuff too hard. Is
• 1:55
  that like a cone of shame for a blind dog. It's not a cone
• 1:59
  of shame tray, It's a cone of ability. It's the cone of shame.
• 2:04
  It's not the cone of shame tray. If you were wearing it,
• 2:06
  it would be the cone of shame. It's like it's like putting a helmet
• 2:09
  on your drunk buddy. That's what it is. That would be a helmet
• 2:15
  of shame. This dog, Muggsy did nothing wrong other than I don't know
• 2:19
  if he did anything wrong to get blind or not. I don't know if
• 2:21
  he jumped in a pool of acid like the Joker or what. But the
• 2:23
  fact is Muggsy's blind, and Muggsie needs a home, and we're going to
• 2:27
  see if we can get well, see if we can get Muggsy adopted in
• 2:30
  the Treehouse today. But before we do that, we have to do something
• 2:32
  extremely important, more important than getting Muggsy adopted. Sorry, Muggsy, Okay,
• 2:37
  something that we need to address. As a show. We normally steer
• 2:39
  away from super divisive things, but sometimes you just can't ignore certain things that
• 2:46
  need to be addressed. Something that needs to be addressed not only at a
• 2:49
  show level, but as a society. And if I'm being one hundred percent
• 2:53
  honest, we need to address it as humans. Okay, Oh my gosh.
• 2:58
  Okay. And that is whether or not this bear in the zoo in
• 3:01
  China is real or not. There's okay. That the hell of a build
• 3:07
  up, Dan, Thank you, Trey. I've been working for many,
• 3:10
  many years. Turns out I'm really good at letting people down. This is
• 3:19
  divisive. You think it's extremely divisive, do you guys? So first of
• 3:23
  all, this is real rage. I'm not making this up. You see
• 3:24
  that. You see I see that headline that is NBC News read that what
• 3:28
  does it say? Zoo in China denies speculation that it's bears are actually humans
• 3:35
  in disguise. Yeah. See, this is why it's so important we address
• 3:38
  this I mean, Lester Holt from NBC Nightly News can't be the only one
• 3:43
  to be addressing this on a serious level. We need to throw our hats
• 3:46
  in the ring. Okay, So this is not a joking matter. This
• 3:49
  is something that's very serious. Yes, how have you not seen this?
• 3:53
  Rage? I don't know. I don't. I don't know what you guys
• 3:57
  watch. I don't. I don't know. Okay, that's very un't.
• 4:02
  I don't know. I just haven't seen it on the news. I watched
• 4:05
  and Klin you said you've seen this, right, I absolutely have. Yeah,
• 4:10
  I'm watching see you rage. You're the only one that hasn't. But
• 4:13
  it's okay. I'm also pretty sure Muggsy hasn't seen it. That's rude.
• 4:19
  Yeah, but at least Muggsy's heart about it. There you go, all
• 4:25
  right, let me have Lesterholt clue you enrage? All right? These technology
• 4:30
  work for me. The curious video from China that has sparked the debate over
• 4:40
  what exactly it is that people are seeing at a zoo, Janice Mackie freyer
• 4:44
  as the Air Necessities the facts about a question igniting the internet. Is this
• 4:50
  sun there at a zoo in China really a bear or is it a human?
• 4:56
  Into star are you watching showing a bear named Angela on hind legs with
• 5:02
  impressive posture, lumpy heads and waving. Yeah, that's see, that's an
• 5:13
  expert ridge fishy, we asked the deputy director, So is the bear real
• 5:20
  or faith? I promise it's real, he says, seeing is believing.
• 5:27
  People can come and see for themselves. But across social media the debate will
• 5:31
  not be tamed. It looks too fishy to me. Despite a statement,
• 5:35
  well there you go, some people thought the way I stand up looks too
• 5:41
  human, so I will stress again. I'm a sun bear bear in mind,
• 5:46
  there is pacedent for impostors here, like in twenty thirteen when a Chinese
• 5:50
  zoo was caught trying to pass off a dog as a lion. With their
• 5:57
  colored chest fur are just smaller as slimmer than most other Bearskins are really important
• 6:03
  adaptation for some guys, so it's actually to avoid predators. Still, the
• 6:08
  zoo is in no rush to escape the spot, but attendance is up thirty
• 6:13
  percent as visitors claw their way to bear witness too behind. This is also
• 6:18
  one of those times in the news business where It's like there there's an over
• 6:23
  under on how many on how many puns they can have in one package.
• 6:28
  Yeah, and this lady, clearly, this reporter clearly has taken the over
• 6:32
  Yes, there's gotta be that guy. When the story like this leaks and
• 6:35
  like you know, uh, Gary and puns, we gotta we gotta go
• 6:41
  give Gary a call. He's he's got he's got all of them. Uh,
• 6:44
  because that was uh, if you don't mind, that was unbearable to
• 6:47
  watch. Uh that that that is not a yeah, But I'm not sure.
• 6:54
  I'm not sure what I'm more ashamed of the Chinese Zoo for trying to
• 6:57
  pass this off as a real bear or your pun that I had one punt.
• 7:03
  I'm so when So when Taram, when my wife first showed me this
• 7:08
  a couple of days ago, I guess when the rest of the world discovered
• 7:11
  it rage except for you. I immediately looked at and said, that's a
• 7:15
  dude. Yeah. But the more I watch it, the more I'm swayed
• 7:18
  to thinking, all I think it's actually just I think it's a bear.
• 7:24
  Okay, So, Trey, where do you fall on this very divisive subject.
• 7:29
  I just like the Chinese China seems to have a new tourist slogan,
• 7:32
  Come see if the bear's real. Yeah, come for the bear, stay
• 7:36
  for the corona. I'm with you, Dan. I first saw it,
• 7:43
  I'm like, Okay, that's not real. And then I, as i've
• 7:46
  watched it more often, I think it's just a very odd looking bear.
• 7:49
  Okay, now, Raj, you've seen what limited? What limited footed?
• 7:53
  You have now seen? Yes, hang on, I'm gonna let you analyze
• 7:57
  that in your mind for a brief more, for a brief moment more,
• 8:00
  Kaylen, where do you fall on this? I think it's definitely a bear.
• 8:03
  The footage I saw was a little bit different. They purposefully like,
• 8:07
  we're pretty far so it looked like the collar of the bear was a person
• 8:11
  peeking through, and then when they zoomed in, it was just the markings.
• 8:13
  I think it's okay. I'd ask Mugsy, but he'd couldn't see anything.
• 8:20
  But I was a dick when I said it. I'm saying I'm innocent.
• 8:26
  There, I'm just I'm just taking back. I just go with this.
• 8:31
  Uh if if a zoo, there's gonna go, Hey, we don't
• 8:33
  have a lion. Can we borrow your dog. It wasn't that wasn't that
• 8:39
  zoo. That was just a zoo in China. Okay, yeah, sorry,
• 8:43
  ro Not all zoos in China are the same. Yeah, because the
• 8:48
  and you guys have been Now how many I don't No, I don't know
• 8:50
  how mean there are. But China is a big country. I know they
• 8:54
  have more than one zoo. I'm just saying, if the if the trend
• 8:58
  for China is a we don't have that animal, what can we do to
• 9:03
  make people believe we have that animal? I'm gonna go with that is not
• 9:07
  I've never seen a bear, okay, I mean outside of like Disney,
• 9:11
  I've never seen a bear wave like that. I've never seen you bring up
• 9:16
  a solid point because this is this is the argument my wife and I got
• 9:20
  into earlier today when we revisited this very divisive topic and she's like, like
• 9:26
  you just said, She's like, bears don't wave. I said, well,
• 9:30
  of course, not not bears in the wild. That would be weird.
• 9:33
  However, if ones in captivity, animals have shown, not just bear,
• 9:37
  but other animals have shown to sort of mimic the actions and mirror the
• 9:41
  people at them. So if a bunch of people are waving at them.
• 9:45
  The animal kind of are like, okay, I can do that too,
• 9:48
  without realizing what they're doing. Um no, I'm gonna go with no.
• 9:56
  Did you never watch Grizzly Atoms? Uh? He never waved by to him?
• 10:03
  Bears just you come along. I just wish, I just wish if
• 10:11
  Hulu were smart, they would redo that clip and then all of a sudden,
• 10:15
  Jeremy Allen White would pop out and go watch The Bear season two.
• 10:20
  Yeah, I'm okay, I'm I'm watching. Uh the clip from here that
• 10:24
  is not that's not a bear. That that's somebody that answered the wrong LinkedIn
• 10:30
  AD. I would love to see that LinkedIn AD though. That's somebody with
• 10:37
  a terrible agent. I was like, hey, man, I got you
• 10:41
  this gig. You're gonna be the new Bear in Channon's Like. So,
• 10:45
  for those for those that are in the know, in the movie Trading Places,
• 10:48
  uh in the gorilla suit and the movie Trading Places, that was very
• 10:52
  obviously a man in a gorilla suit. That was actually Jim Belushi, who
• 10:56
  went on to star in. According to Jim, so do you think that
• 11:01
  there's there's a hidden star inside of this bear, inside of China. I'm
• 11:05
  just saying, it's the union's on strike. I don't know what people are
• 11:09
  doing, so that makes sense. So this is a scab and a bear
• 11:11
  costing No, because they didn't have to. They didn't have to cross the
• 11:16
  line. They just like to cross timelines, is what they had to do.
• 11:20
  They're like, you know what, I can't work there. It's an
• 11:22
  actor from here. That's like, you know what, I can't get a
• 11:26
  gig. He went onto his Chinese LinkedIn account. It's China, it's non
• 11:30
  union. Isn't a commune? Yeah, uh yeah it is. Uh,
• 11:39
  that's not that's not a that's a cool Okay. If I'm watching it again,
• 11:46
  If that's a bear, that's a cool ass bear. Man that is.
• 11:50
  I would love to see it next to the Lion Dog. That would
• 11:52
  be cool. Uh maybe that's next. Is because now now that you have
• 11:58
  the two origin stories, they're following the superhero movies. So now you have
• 12:01
  the Lion Dog and the man bear in a team up. Now, see,
• 12:05
  I would watch that. I would have watched that as a series.
• 12:11
  But yeah, I'm watching this again, and it's also it's China, and
• 12:16
  so it makes sense that they probably didn't they probably built the exhibit with no
• 12:22
  bear and they're like, ah, what were we missing? They're like,
• 12:24
  oh the bear. Do you think they build zoos like they do cities.
• 12:30
  There's the ghost zoos of China. Yes, actually it makes sense because there
• 12:33
  are. It's because you're right, because China has these cities everywhere that have
• 12:35
  been built with no people. And it makes sense if you're gonna, like,
• 12:37
  if you're gonna do a real world sim city like the video game,
• 12:43
  you would put a zoo in the middle of it, wouldn't you. Yeah,
• 12:46
  I mean And by the way, for everyone listening, if you haven't
• 12:48
  heard of them, google Ghost Cities of China and this will all make sense.
• 12:52
  It's real. Also the name of a band. That would be awesome
• 12:56
  if we just would called ourselves the Ghost Cities of China. But I would
• 13:01
  believe that they would. Uh. Because they said it's up thirty That says
• 13:05
  tourism to that particular zoos now up thirty percent because of the controversy. I
• 13:11
  think the zoo needed revenue. Uh. And they put Glenn Um in a
• 13:16
  bear suit uh, and Glenn waves uh that nobody's stand. Have you ever
• 13:22
  seen a bear stand like this? It's just like he's whispering, head,
• 13:28
  what happened? Black bears do it all the time. Grizzlies do it.
• 13:31
  You've seen grizzlies get up really big. I mean that's he's not big.
• 13:35
  He's cold, chilling. I don't know if you have ever seen I don't
• 13:39
  know if you've ever seen a like if I just want him to like reach
• 13:41
  into his bear pocket and grab it back of smokes and just like one upclock
• 13:48
  cocaine. Yeah that's yeah, that's the bear that cuts it up and like
• 13:56
  that's the cocaine bear that gets busted for distribution. Like that's well, he's
• 14:01
  well, he's he's he's got he's got the job on LinkedIn and China.
• 14:05
  He's got to find, you know, additional income. All Right, I
• 14:07
  think we've done enough stupid stuff for now. Let's come back and get a
• 14:11
  lion adopted. Okay, let's do it. You're listening to the Treehouse.
• 14:20
  Visit us online, that treehouse OnAir dot com. You're listening to the Treehouse.
• 14:39
  Visit us online, that Treehouse OnAir dot com. All right, let's
• 14:48
  leave that controversy about the bear in the Chinese zoom behind him. Let's see
• 14:50
  if we can get so we can get Muggsy from Pause in the City adopted.
• 14:54
  If you're interested in Muggsy or any of the wonderful animals available for adoption
• 14:58
  three Pause in the City, go to their website Pause in the City dot
• 15:01
  org and here. How to tell us a little more about Muggsy is,
• 15:05
  of course Kalin from Pause in the City. That was an abrupt bumper end.
• 15:09
  And since we're on camera, Muggsie, I'm gonna need you to actually
• 15:11
  mug for the camera a little bit. Okay. Oh, I don't know
• 15:16
  if we'll be able to get him to actually look into the camera very well.
• 15:20
  It might be difficult to see, but he's definitely Yeah. I didn't
• 15:24
  mean that as an insult. Tray a minute, because because he is blind,
• 15:26
  you can actually the dogs right there, and he's not deaf. You're
• 15:31
  hurting his feelings. I was definitely kind of snapping to get him to point
• 15:35
  that direction, and he got mad and nudge my elbow like, no,
• 15:39
  bring your hand back here. Oh. So he is eight years old,
• 15:43
  so he knows how to how to boss people around a little bit, so
• 15:46
  Muggy. Yeah, so Muggsie's eight years old. He is blind, you
• 15:48
  might be able to see a little bit in the camera. So he's got
• 15:50
  like the the wided out eyes. So it's it's not just making up a
• 15:54
  story to get him adopted. In surprise, he actually can see he's he's
• 15:58
  actually and I also this goes you can see how happy he is. Yeah,
• 16:04
  and that's everything. A second there, I wasn't here. He was
• 16:07
  actually blind because he was looking right into my eyes. Yeah, and I
• 16:11
  realized he was just looking into my soul. He's got the perfect gig.
• 16:15
  He's right up against her boobs and and everyone's loving on him. That's just
• 16:19
  a puppy spot. It just happens, is what we'll call him. Dog
• 16:25
  Dogs love boobs. Everyone loves boobs. Bob aba. There you go.
• 16:32
  That's I thought we established Roger was not an Abba fan in the last episode.
• 16:37
  We're going to work on that. That's going to be more important.
• 16:40
  Part is the Tit is absolutely Yeah, that's the name of Trey's autobiography.
• 16:45
  He's just boobs and Abba booe. Uh yeah, I'm Muggsy's cool, like
• 16:52
  he looks like he should be voiced over by Christopher Lloyd. Oh, that's
• 16:56
  actually really good. I could I can I can not only see it,
• 17:00
  but I can hear it. Yeah, and now I'm aline because I thought
• 17:03
  you're saying I can do it. No. No, Now, if rog
• 17:06
  had said that he looks like Christopher walking should being him that Rag can do
• 17:11
  that I can do. But he looks more of alloy than a walk out.
• 17:15
  He's got a little more. He's got more of a frenetic look about
• 17:18
  him. Does he looks like a mad scientist would tell a story about a
• 17:25
  watch? What? He does look like he would. But he does look
• 17:32
  like he would build a time machine out of a DeLorean. That's what he
• 17:34
  does look like that. Oh, yeah, definitely does. He's super sweet.
• 17:41
  He is just like really loving. Um. I walked in the door,
• 17:44
  and you know, I think he could obviously smell my dogs on me,
• 17:47
  but it was like, okay, you're a dog person. And he
• 17:48
  came and he said in my lap and just collapsed like started rolling to get
• 17:52
  his belly rubbed. And he hasn't had his halo on here. Um,
• 17:57
  he navigated it pretty well. Oh okay, Yeah, there's gotta mean there's
• 18:02
  gotta be something about this dog because my dog has never come into the room
• 18:04
  when I'm recording and both of them are on the bed, So you're saying,
• 18:10
  your dogs know that you're cheating on them visually. I think they know
• 18:12
  there's a super cool dog that I'm talking to and they want to see what.
• 18:17
  It's got to be weird for them to think that, because dogs do
• 18:18
  get jealous. I've I've seen it. I've seen it many many times,
• 18:22
  and it makes sense that dogs would also, because you know, they can
• 18:26
  perceive things very well. So what they're doing is they're watching you, yes,
• 18:30
  emotionally cheat on them through the internet with another dog. Well, I
• 18:37
  think, but I've given them their own actors that should have their voices.
• 18:41
  So there, I think they were trying to see which actor I gave to
• 18:45
  Mugsy here and they're like, okay, cool. Now they're both asleep,
• 18:48
  so they're like, all right, cool, Okay, he's not just using
• 18:49
  the same actor for every dog. Okay, that's good. So real quick,
• 18:52
  what are your dogs actors portrayal? So? Uh so I have too.
• 18:56
  So the youngest is sweet boy Sam and uh he's Ving Rhimes, Okay,
• 19:04
  okay, not like pulp fiction, Ving Raimes, not like Arby's.
• 19:08
  We got to meet Ving Rhimes. Okay, that's good to know. Uh
• 19:12
  and then uh, Hugh Grant does uh. Ess that's good to have a
• 19:18
  British accent thrown in. It offers credibility to the role. I'm just wondering.
• 19:23
  I'm just wondering. So and it's so we got Muggy here, who
• 19:26
  would be voiced by Christopher Lloyd. I'm wondering what trays dog Daisy? Who
• 19:30
  would who would voice Daisy Phyllis Phyllis Diller, Carol Channing about four pack a
• 19:41
  day on now on that three pound Yeah, I don't know. My toothless
• 19:48
  dog just saw in a Denter commercials A really old reference but still a solid
• 19:56
  one. So is there anything else you can tell as Kaylin about Muggsy or
• 20:00
  any of the other dogs available for adoption trou Pause in the City. I
• 20:03
  mean, we've got a great set of dogs right now. I know,
• 20:06
  last time we also talked about Pugsley. I got to meet him in person.
• 20:08
  Hello, we got to meet him in person when we did the Pause
• 20:12
  in the City event at Holy Girl and Plano, and he was super chill
• 20:18
  as well. So, um, you know, don't forget where We're going
• 20:21
  to start introducing some more dogs here soon. But because We've got such great
• 20:23
  feedback show when the photos at the live event for Muggsy. Um, you
• 20:27
  know, we wanted to make sure that you could actually get a little piece
• 20:30
  of his personality since we're on YouTube. Now. Oh he's great. It
• 20:34
  seems like his personality is just to hang out with Kaylin. Yeah. Yeah,
• 20:44
  he's definitely been a bit of a doll crow dog since I've gotten me
• 20:47
  here. Yeah. Well, so if you have any interest in fostering or
• 20:53
  adopting Muggsie or any of the wonderful dogs at Pause in the City, just
• 20:57
  go to the website Pause in the City Dog or she does not come with
• 21:00
  the dog. Guys, I'm just saying that's just so a disclaimer. She
• 21:04
  doesn't go just because you dot Muggsy doesn't mean you get her as well.
• 21:08
  We have to put that. Yeah. Yeah, so it's the same rule
• 21:11
  as before. We've had this rule before. Well no, actually, if
• 21:18
  I'm actually being honest, in the past, you probably would have gotten Mark
• 21:22
  Vermont and the dog or just Mark. That's how we got Mark. Be
