Transcript
- 0:20Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
- 0:25Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
- 0:28Speaker 1: Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Tuesday, April twenty second,
- 0:38Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I'm not sure if you guys heard
- 0:44Speaker 1: the very very very sad yet ultimately unsurprising news yesterday
- 0:50Speaker 1: that an eighty eight year old the South American man died.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you guys heard that massive news
- 1:01Speaker 1: also the Pope's dead. I'm just I'm just, you know,
- 1:07Speaker 1: speaking out of my ass here, but I'm willing to
- 1:09Speaker 1: bet there's another eighty eight year old man from Argentina
- 1:12Speaker 1: that also died yesterday, who is being massively overshadowed by
- 1:18Speaker 1: his fellow eighty eight year old Argentinian who happens to.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Be the Pope.
- 1:24Speaker 1: So, in case you missed it, Saint Francis.
- 1:30Speaker 2: The Pope.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Oh Francis.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's not a Saint Francis. You know what
- 1:36Speaker 2: it was?
- 1:36Speaker 1: I got conflated in my mind because he chose the
- 1:39Speaker 1: name Saint Francis after becoming pope in honor of Now
- 1:44Speaker 1: just Francis not saying say this is why it's getting
- 1:46Speaker 1: lost in my head. He chose the name Francis after
- 1:50Speaker 1: becoming Pope in honor of Saint Francis Oft.
- 1:55Speaker 2: So that's why the saint was stuck in my head.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Gotcha, he had a respiratory problem.
- 2:01Speaker 4: I don't.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Mine's neurological thing that so far hasn't killed me. So
- 2:06Speaker 1: scoreboard on the Pope. Yeah, double pneumonia, double pneumonia. Man,
- 2:13Speaker 1: God was really ready for him.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Now it was far more.
- 2:16Speaker 3: It wasn't just pneumonia, that's what they said him the news.
- 2:22Speaker 5: I mean he had been in the hospital. He's had
- 2:24Speaker 5: a respiratory issue for over a year.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Okay.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Hope Francis, the former Argentinian cardinal who often bucked age
- 2:34Speaker 1: old Vatican traditions in favor of more modern, yet humble approaches,
- 2:39Speaker 1: died after an extended respiratory illness at the age of
- 2:43Speaker 1: eighty eight. The Pope was born Jorge Mario Borgolio in
- 2:49Speaker 1: Buenos Aires to Italian immigrant parents. He was the first
- 2:53Speaker 1: pope from the Americas and the first born outside.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Of Europe in over a millennia.
- 3:01Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, when he was elected in twenty thirteen,
- 3:03Speaker 1: Pope Francis said he chose his name and honor of
- 3:06Speaker 1: Saint Francis of ASSISI, the thirteenth century Italian friar who
- 3:10Speaker 1: renounced his wealth to become a man of peace, a
- 3:12Speaker 1: man of poverty, a man who loved and protected creation.
- 3:20Speaker 4: And if you ever want to see a very.
- 3:23Speaker 5: Interesting story about how he became pope, there is a
- 3:27Speaker 5: movie called The Two Popes and with Anthony Hopkins and
- 3:32Speaker 5: about the last pope who stepped down was a Benedict, Yes,
- 3:41Speaker 5: and how it came to.
- 3:42Speaker 4: Be that because they were too.
- 3:47Speaker 5: Completely polar opposite people when it came to the politics
- 3:54Speaker 5: of the Vatican and the different camps of the church
- 3:57Speaker 5: and people who want more strict traditional ways and the
- 4:01Speaker 5: more progressive people. Benedict was very traditional and Pope Francis
- 4:08Speaker 5: was very liberal as it came to the Catholic Church.
- 4:11Speaker 2: It's interesting when you think about I love to hear that.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I like to know that people of differing opinions and
- 4:19Speaker 1: vastly different backgrounds can both join a Catholic institution and
- 4:23Speaker 1: become buddies.
- 4:25Speaker 5: Well, they became buddies because, to his credit, Benedict realized
- 4:29Speaker 5: that if another traditionalist like himself came to power, that
- 4:34Speaker 5: it was good. It was going to drive off more
- 4:37Speaker 5: people from the church that the church needed to change.
- 4:40Speaker 1: That is interesting, You're right, though, because what little I
- 4:43Speaker 1: know about the two popes.
- 4:47Speaker 2: You hit right there.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I know that Francis was sort of the new Age
- 4:53Speaker 1: and Benedict was sort of the classic rock.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Of the papacy.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Like one was more Steppenwolf and the other one's more
- 5:05Speaker 1: aha in Catholic Church terms, of course.
- 5:10Speaker 5: Well JP two had been there for quite a while,
- 5:12Speaker 5: so they they and they thought he had gotten a
- 5:15Speaker 5: little uh, a little progressive in his later days, so
- 5:18Speaker 5: they wanted a short term strict pope and that's what
- 5:21Speaker 5: they got and Benedict.
- 5:22Speaker 1: And it really is an odd thing. Usually in old
- 5:25Speaker 1: age we get we get way uh crotchety or whereas
- 5:31Speaker 1: JP two went a little uh, he went a little
- 5:34Speaker 1: more like like kind of like my dad did. My
- 5:37Speaker 1: dad was always pretty progressive, but even in his in
- 5:40Speaker 1: his older age, he went even farther into that. So
- 5:44Speaker 1: like he grew out his gandolf beard and was making
- 5:47Speaker 1: you know, pot butter at home, you know nice. Yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 1: I don't think JP two went that route.
- 5:54Speaker 5: Uh No, he when when you know, he acknowledged that, uh,
- 5:59Speaker 5: you know, the Catholic which may have been complicit in
- 6:01Speaker 5: Hitler's horrors.
- 6:05Speaker 4: That that was that was pretty groundbreaking.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Yeah, the church at that point is like, we put
- 6:09Speaker 2: a lid on him.
- 6:10Speaker 5: Please, you still had that whole sex abuse thing. He
- 6:16Speaker 5: didn't handle really well.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Can we try to distract people from the church sex abuse.
- 6:21Speaker 1: With anything else, anything other than we helped Hitler, Like
- 6:27Speaker 1: just say we went fishing.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Anything, anything would be better than that.
- 6:32Speaker 5: It's sorry, Tell them we serve steak on Friday.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Oh, that'll get the people riled up. See that's a
- 6:40Speaker 2: good distraction.
- 6:42Speaker 1: So yeah, Pope Francis passed away on Monday at the
- 6:48Speaker 1: age of eighty eight after a prolonged respiratory illness.
- 6:51Speaker 2: The Vatican has confirmed.

- 9:45Speaker 1: Daniel Malley along with Trey Turnholm and Raj Sharma. Today
- 9:47Speaker 1: is Tuesday, April twenty second, twenty twenty five. We were
- 9:50Speaker 1: just discussing that Pope Francis has left this earth to
- 9:56Speaker 1: ascend to his spot in heaven, which I imagine pretty cushy.
- 10:00Speaker 1: I imagine you get a pretty big, armed welcome if
- 10:04Speaker 1: you're the pope and you show up and you're like,
- 10:06Speaker 1: what's up, Pete? I mean, I mean, it's gonna be
- 10:11Speaker 1: a better welcome that I'm gonna get. It's gonna be
- 10:13Speaker 1: a better welcome than most of the people that I
- 10:15Speaker 1: know that have died I've gotten.
- 10:18Speaker 2: No, you don't think so.
- 10:20Speaker 4: I mean, it depends where are you what you want
- 10:24Speaker 4: to believe?
- 10:26Speaker 1: I thought you were about to say it depends on
- 10:27Speaker 1: where you get in, Like, do you think there's a
- 10:28Speaker 1: there's a back entrance for the popes. Oh that's a
- 10:31Speaker 1: bad pun. Yeah, that was unintentional.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Let's call it a Freudian slip.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Slip in anyway.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Uh so, Trey, you said it just when you thought
- 10:45Speaker 1: the week was gonna be boring.
- 10:47Speaker 2: We get a conclave.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be full of smoke and all
- 10:51Speaker 1: sorts of intrigue. And if if the church is smart,
- 10:54Speaker 1: if the Catholic Church is smart, and it is because
- 10:57Speaker 1: it's been around for a really long time, despite some
- 11:00Speaker 1: horrible things that it's done. It knows how to how
- 11:03Speaker 1: to play up some publicity. They may already have the
- 11:06Speaker 1: next pope picked. They may have done that through like
- 11:09Speaker 1: a raffle a week ago, once they knew that the
- 11:12Speaker 1: that the current pope was gonna was gonna kick the bucket.
- 11:15Speaker 1: But they know to draw it out in the conclave
- 11:19Speaker 1: for a long time because then the world will be watching.
- 11:22Speaker 1: You'll get CNN, Fox News, maybe even Newsmax and o
- 11:27Speaker 1: NN looking in to see if the color of the
- 11:30Speaker 1: smoke has changed the top of the chimney.
- 11:32Speaker 4: Uh.
- 11:34Speaker 5: The chances of them already having a pope would be
- 11:37Speaker 5: like you letting saying you're gonna let Congress pick the
- 11:42Speaker 5: next president, and that they could come up with a
- 11:44Speaker 5: consensus pick.
- 11:46Speaker 6: It ain't I.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Like the idea of the raffle. That's the lawyer's I'd
- 11:51Speaker 3: buy a couple of tickets. It's not bad to see
- 11:54Speaker 3: if I'm just to see if I win.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Do you remember the movie King Ralph with John Goodman? Oh, oh,
- 12:00Speaker 1: come on, that's a great movie. So here's the premise
- 12:03Speaker 1: for King Ralph.
- 12:04Speaker 2: It's John Goodman. You do quit looking at me like that.
- 12:07Speaker 2: It's a funny movie.
- 12:09Speaker 1: So the royal family England basically there was a horrible
- 12:14Speaker 1: accident and they all die and they have to go
- 12:16Speaker 1: through the entire family tree to find the next of ken,
- 12:21Speaker 1: to find in the line of succession who the next
- 12:24Speaker 1: king of England is going to be. And it's a
- 12:26Speaker 1: dude named Ralph from like Ohio or something. So John Goodman,
- 12:30Speaker 1: blue collar guy, wakes up one day and there's a
- 12:34Speaker 1: really fancy person at his house saying hello, your your highness,
- 12:40Speaker 1: and then he has to go to England.
- 12:41Speaker 2: It's a fish out of water story, but it's John Goodman.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Quit looking at me like that, you two.
- 12:46Speaker 1: All I'm saying is in a very long winded way,
- 12:48Speaker 1: is maybe something like that would be fun?
- 12:51Speaker 2: Pope Ralph? Yeah, this also sounds like an Adam Sandler movie.
- 12:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember the movie. I was just gonna let
- 12:59Speaker 4: you see and that went and explain it and I did.
- 13:03Speaker 2: I just talked and talked and justified and tried to. Yeah.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Anyway, So Conclave, Trey, youre are people expert.
- 13:14Speaker 2: What happens now.
- 13:20Speaker 4: For those that weren't already on their way.
- 13:21Speaker 5: The rest of the cardinals start flying in to Vatican
- 13:25Speaker 5: City and.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Flying nun style. Are on planes, most.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Of them, you know, some some flag commercial. I'm sure
- 13:34Speaker 5: there's a few pj's here and there.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I mean, let's be hotest. It'd be really impressive if
- 13:39Speaker 1: they actually flew in.
- 13:41Speaker 5: Yeah, and then they will they I'll get in in
- 13:48Speaker 5: a dormitory and they're locked away and they have go
- 13:53Speaker 5: into I against Saint Peter's and lock the doors every
- 13:58Speaker 5: day until they vote and debate.
- 14:01Speaker 2: And do a hardcore game of pe knuckle.
- 14:04Speaker 5: And then they they write their name their car, you know,
- 14:08Speaker 5: votes on a card goes up, they count the votes,
- 14:11Speaker 5: then they put them in the little incinerator thing and
- 14:16Speaker 5: let the black smoke go until they actually have a pope.
- 14:18Speaker 5: And then they put something that makes the smoke white.
- 14:22Speaker 5: Everyone cheers and bemos pop thembemos pop them.
- 14:25Speaker 4: You know, they have a we have a pope.
- 14:28Speaker 1: I've heard a guy yelling at a beach before, but
- 14:30Speaker 1: I don't think it was because it was for a guy.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Well, I mean it might have been drug.
- 14:34Speaker 4: That's the big person comes out on the balcony and
- 14:38Speaker 4: obamos popping.
- 14:40Speaker 2: We have a pope.
- 14:41Speaker 4: We have a pope. We have we have a father.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Okay, we got a the pope. That's my Italian in
- 14:48Speaker 1: case you couldn't tell.
- 14:49Speaker 3: Uh.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Yeah, the only thing I remember from when I guess
- 14:52Speaker 1: it was from John Paul second to Ben Addict. That's
- 14:58Speaker 1: the one I really remember. I remember us following that
- 15:01Speaker 1: pretty well on the radio show back in the day
- 15:03Speaker 1: that well that that was early two thousands, wasn't it.
- 15:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, uh, that was our first conclave, and
- 15:12Speaker 5: I think JB two was in seventy nine somewhere around there.
- 15:16Speaker 2: For me, it was my first period in my lifetime.
- 15:19Speaker 5: For the Yeah, for almost everyone, So yeah, that was
- 15:22Speaker 5: that was what I kind of must watch TV because
- 15:24Speaker 5: you just hadn't seen one in ages.
- 15:26Speaker 2: And it back then there wasn't as much on TV.
- 15:29Speaker 1: No, it wasn't like you know the fifties where there's
- 15:31Speaker 1: only three channels and they were black and white. But
- 15:33Speaker 1: it was still you know, early two thousands, you had
- 15:35Speaker 1: cable and stuff, but it wasn't a whole lot on
- 15:38Speaker 1: at that time. It was usually just reruns of shows
- 15:40Speaker 1: you've already seen, like on you know, Nickelodeon, So you'd
- 15:43Speaker 1: put it on CNN or Fox News or something, and
- 15:45Speaker 1: then they just had they had the smoke tracker, just
- 15:48Speaker 1: like in the corner.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Other news would happen. That might be the main box.
- 15:51Speaker 2: But then you had picture in picture, always a shot.
- 15:54Speaker 4: They had a tight.
- 15:56Speaker 11: Yeah, you couldn't even dering commercials. They had the camera
- 16:02Speaker 11: shot of the chimney at Saint Peter's Basilica to see
- 16:06Speaker 11: the moment that the smoke changed.
- 16:09Speaker 1: And we've got a d pulp. Okay, So they all
- 16:13Speaker 1: get locked in a room. They vote over and over
- 16:15Speaker 1: and over again until they reach a majority decision on
- 16:20Speaker 1: which new dude becomes the new pope.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Yes, okay, you.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Know it's that strict. Or do they have some fun
- 16:28Speaker 2: in there along the way?
- 16:30Speaker 5: I mean, did they look like a group of party people?
- 16:34Speaker 5: You think they put you buy closed doors and.
- 16:37Speaker 4: You think you think the hats get tilted a little bit.
- 16:39Speaker 2: They might, they.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Might turn those bitches around and they just have some fun.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Like what happens if they get into you know, the
- 16:46Speaker 1: holy sacrament and they drink a little bit of it,
- 16:49Speaker 1: and they drink a little bit too much of the
- 16:51Speaker 1: sacrament and someone decides to have some fun with the
- 16:55Speaker 1: fire pit. That someone decides to have some fun with
- 16:58Speaker 1: the smoke because it's black smoke until they get a
- 17:01Speaker 1: new pope, and the new pope it gets the white smoke. Right,
- 17:03Speaker 1: what happens if they decide to play with the colors
- 17:05Speaker 1: in between, just to have some fun with the rest
- 17:07Speaker 1: of us because we're watching it non stop on on
- 17:10Speaker 1: on the Chimney camp. Like what if they uh throw
- 17:13Speaker 1: in some pink or some blue or some other you
- 17:15Speaker 1: know ROYGBIV things just to mess with us to see
- 17:17Speaker 1: if we know what that means.
- 17:21Speaker 5: I mean, I if they would send up pink smoke,
- 17:24Speaker 5: that would that would be entertaining. M it would just
- 17:29Speaker 5: just to watch the pundits go, what does this mean exactly?
- 17:34Speaker 2: That's what this is.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Why you can't have me in a conclave because I'd
- 17:38Speaker 1: be the guy changing the color of the smoke just
- 17:39Speaker 1: to mess with the outside world.
- 17:40Speaker 2: But like purple smoke, let's see what they do to that.
- 17:44Speaker 1: That's in honor of Prince it is We're just we're
- 17:47Speaker 1: just it's it's intermission for voting and we're just playing
- 17:50Speaker 1: purple rain. So purple smoke goes up. But the outside
- 17:53Speaker 1: world wouldn't know that.
- 17:56Speaker 5: I mean, I guess the ultimate symbol of irony would
- 18:00Speaker 5: be that, uh you get white smoke and they elected
- 18:03Speaker 5: a black pope.
- 18:12Speaker 1: This is why we're not in the conclave, but it's
- 18:16Speaker 1: also why we should be.
- 18:20Speaker 2: That would be a fun conclave.

- 19:11Speaker 1: pope news into other actually extremely exciting news. Maybe or
- 19:17Speaker 1: it's once again a build up of hope that will
- 19:19Speaker 1: be crushed under the weight of massive expectations. Star Wars
- 19:24Speaker 1: Celebration is the massive event that happens each year, and
- 19:27Speaker 1: it happened last week in Tokyo, Japan. This is where
- 19:30Speaker 1: Disney and Lucasfilm come together in front of a bunch
- 19:32Speaker 1: of fans and promise to make good shows and good
- 19:36Speaker 1: movies and then we're usually disappointed at it, but last
- 19:40Speaker 1: week actually had some again things that give us some
- 19:44Speaker 1: actual good hope, not the least of which is we
- 19:48Speaker 1: got a release date for the Mandalorian and Grogu movie,
- 19:52Speaker 1: which is the Mandalorian movie. And in case you didn't know,
- 19:54Speaker 1: Baby Yoda has a name, and it's Grogu. So they've
- 19:58Speaker 1: got three seasons of the Mandalorian done on Disney Plus
- 20:01Speaker 1: and now they're making a movie that will come out
- 20:04Speaker 1: May of next year May twenty second, twenty twenty six.
- 20:08Speaker 1: The Mandalorian and Grogu movie.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Got announced at Star Wars celebration last week.
- 20:13Speaker 1: In addition to that, fans are also really excited because
- 20:19Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling is joining the Star Wars universe in a
- 20:25Speaker 1: movie that's going to be directed by Deadpool and Wolverine
- 20:29Speaker 1: director Sean Levy. Star Wars Starfighter is going to be
- 20:33Speaker 1: in theaters in twenty twenty seven.
- 20:37Speaker 2: I believe.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I don't know for sure, but I believe that this
- 20:40Speaker 1: will be based on a video game that came out
- 20:44Speaker 1: all the way back in two thousand and one, and
- 20:48Speaker 1: the Starfighters the game was based on right before the
- 20:52Speaker 1: Battle of Naboo.
- 20:53Speaker 2: In the prequel movies.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Right before the Battle of Nio in the prequel movies.
- 21:01Speaker 1: In the video game, the Starfighter pilot jumps in and
- 21:04Speaker 1: has access to all these different aircraft and you basically
- 21:07Speaker 1: just aerial fight bad guys. So the story is going
- 21:10Speaker 1: to be based on that. We believe in some manner.
- 21:14Speaker 1: But it's Ryan Gosling and Sean Levy who's done some
- 21:16Speaker 1: really great stuff lately. So you feel good about that
- 21:21Speaker 1: one Trey as bad as we felt about the other
- 21:23Speaker 1: Star Wars stuff recently.
- 21:25Speaker 5: I mean, anything Star Wars I've guarded optimism is bad
- 21:31Speaker 5: as good as you're gonna get from me. And Ryan
- 21:34Speaker 5: Gosling doesn't really blow my skirt up as far as
- 21:38Speaker 5: uh making me all excited for anything Star Wars.
- 21:41Speaker 4: I mean that's.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Because if you were Tina, you would love it.
- 21:47Speaker 5: I can see where he like, he has a look
- 21:51Speaker 5: and everything else very some Luke Skywalker vibes.
- 21:55Speaker 4: So I'm, like I said, guarded optimism the only thing.
- 22:00Speaker 5: Uh the Uh So you said there's three seasons of
- 22:04Speaker 5: the Mandalorian m hm, Yes, that's right, okay, and then
- 22:10Speaker 5: so then they're gonna do a movie and that's it,
- 22:12Speaker 5: all right, So I'm excited about that. Hopefully they they
- 22:19Speaker 5: don't screw that one up.
- 22:20Speaker 1: It's uh, that movie Mandalorian Grogu is going to be
- 22:24Speaker 1: written and directed by Jon Favreau and it's co written
- 22:27Speaker 1: by Dave Filoni, who's the other Star Wars guru.
- 22:30Speaker 4: Then you know it's gonna be good.
- 22:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I have.
- 22:32Speaker 2: My I I have high hopes for that one. Uh.
- 22:36Speaker 1: And I like to say I have the guarded optimism,
- 22:40Speaker 1: but the Starfighter thing, I actually have kind of high
- 22:42Speaker 1: hopes because it's Sean Levy directing it again from Dead
- 22:45Speaker 1: Bull Wolverine, also the Adam Project and Free Guy. He
- 22:48Speaker 1: did those movies with Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling. I think
- 22:50Speaker 1: he's great. So I'm excited. My fingers are crossed, but
- 22:53Speaker 1: my but my bee holes puckered?
- 22:54Speaker 2: How about me?
- 22:56Speaker 5: And I know, I know there's talk that they're working
- 22:58Speaker 5: on another trilogy.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 23:03Speaker 5: But that would be the because I believe all nine
- 23:08Speaker 5: of the Star Wars books were written.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Years and years ago.
- 23:13Speaker 2: I think I think Disney's scared.
- 23:15Speaker 1: I think they are terrified to do try to do
- 23:17Speaker 1: a new trilogy.
- 23:18Speaker 2: They should because the last three.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Yeah, because the last three did they like, Yeah, they
- 23:22Speaker 1: made a lot of money, but they weren't that good.
- 23:25Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think, like I said, I think those
- 23:27Speaker 5: were even the last three were based on a set
- 23:31Speaker 5: of the books, like I think, if I remember, there
- 23:34Speaker 5: were nine books, so and that's what they made the
- 23:39Speaker 5: movies on. So this would be a whole new like rewriting.
- 23:42Speaker 5: It's kind of like, you know, when Amazon decided to
- 23:45Speaker 5: do more Lord of the Rings. Well, Tolkien's dead, so
- 23:48Speaker 5: you're you're basically starting from scratch.
- 23:50Speaker 2: H No pressure to a writer.
- 23:53Speaker 1: By the way, Hey, so the source material and author
- 23:57Speaker 1: is dead, so do us a favor recreate go.
- 24:01Speaker 5: Which I you know, a a an excitable fan base
- 24:09Speaker 5: and self. But the pressure of trying to redo a
- 24:12Speaker 5: Star Wars to write new Star Wars, especially after the
- 24:16Speaker 5: last three and not I don't know, is that at
- 24:19Speaker 5: least you're not following You're.
- 24:20Speaker 4: Not the guy, you're the guy following the guy.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Yeah, so slatest clean expectations are low. Yeah, So I
- 24:29Speaker 1: mean it really is. It's a great time to come
- 24:31Speaker 1: in and do one. And the way I look at
- 24:33Speaker 1: it is this, if you get tapped to be the
- 24:37Speaker 1: new Star Wars writer director, just keep it simple, man,
- 24:41Speaker 1: Just look at the blank page and just start with
- 24:44Speaker 1: a lightsaber. Start with the lightsaber, have a little bit
- 24:48Speaker 1: of stuff in the middle with some more lightsabers, and
- 24:50Speaker 1: then end with some lightsabers.
- 24:51Speaker 4: You're good.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Just fill in the gaps.
- 24:54Speaker 5: Now you need you need a big, big planetary thing
- 24:57Speaker 5: that that can kill everybody. That's the other you need lightsaber,
- 25:02Speaker 5: big planetary death star.
- 25:04Speaker 2: That's what they did. And then the last trilogy it's like, okay,
- 25:07Speaker 2: you know the death Star. Now we're gonna make a
- 25:09Speaker 2: bigger death Star.
- 25:10Speaker 5: Well that's it's if the story hadn't sucked all the
- 25:14Speaker 5: way up until then, they should have been okay. But
- 25:16Speaker 5: that's I mean, the most successful franchise the Middle three,
- 25:23Speaker 5: that was it always a death Star.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Raj as someone who's not into Star Wars, I'm not
- 25:28Speaker 1: even sure if you've seen any of the films. Are
- 25:32Speaker 1: you looking forward to Ryan Gosling in a Starfighter role?
- 25:37Speaker 3: I'm excited for you, guys. I will not be watching.
- 25:44Speaker 3: I don't I didn't watch any of the I watched
- 25:46Speaker 3: the old ones in the you know, seventies and eighties.
- 25:50Speaker 3: I watched those. Wow, I think I makely went to
- 25:52Speaker 3: a drive.
- 25:53Speaker 2: In for one.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Oh hell, Dad took us to a drive in to
- 25:56Speaker 3: watch one of them, and then the other ones we
- 25:59Speaker 3: saw in the theater.
- 26:00Speaker 1: In that case, what you should do is you would
- 26:02Speaker 1: like Rogue one because Rogue one takes place right before
- 26:07Speaker 1: the very first Star Wars movie.
- 26:09Speaker 2: That just all so you might actually enjoy that one. Yeah,
- 26:13Speaker 2: don't watch anything else.
- 26:15Speaker 3: I'm probably not gonna watch that.
- 26:16Speaker 2: One, honestly. What you could do, here's what I'm gonna do.
- 26:19Speaker 1: I'm just gonna send you some links on YouTube for
- 26:21Speaker 1: some really cool fan made lightsaber duels. They're actually better
- 26:27Speaker 1: than some of the ones in the movies. And you're
- 26:28Speaker 1: gonna that's that's all you need.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Yeah, here's what I just thought that I'm not the
- 26:37Speaker 3: not in the room for once.
- 26:41Speaker 5: The Starfighter though with Gossling have a scene oh with
- 26:49Speaker 5: his you two you know is a R two D
- 26:51Speaker 5: two unit in the back and the Starfighter.
- 26:55Speaker 4: What do you want?
- 26:58Speaker 2: Trying to figure out what the Hefford dinner? What do
- 27:04Speaker 2: you want?
- 27:05Speaker 4: Damn it?
- 27:06Speaker 2: What do you want? And then R two D two
- 27:09Speaker 2: beefy poppy boop. It's not that simple, you pick? We
- 27:16Speaker 2: had that last night.
- 27:23Speaker 9: You're listening to the tree House.

- 28:09Speaker 1: I'm Daniel Malley along with Trade, Turnhome and Raj Sharma.
- 28:13Speaker 1: We were just talking about.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Star Wars celebration yay uh.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Last week in Japan, where Disney and Lucasfilm announced a
- 28:19Speaker 1: new film starring Ryan Gosling directed by Sean Levy called
- 28:24Speaker 1: Star Wars Starfighter. Not the most creative title, but who cares?
- 28:29Speaker 1: But it did lead me in Trade down an obvious
- 28:32Speaker 1: path to us to think, okay, will they draw upon
- 28:35Speaker 1: some of Ryan Gosling's past projects and incorporate it into
- 28:40Speaker 1: the Star Wars universe? For example, because we know that
- 28:45Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling, one of his most famous roles was in
- 28:49Speaker 1: the notebook.
- 28:52Speaker 4: What what do you want? It's not that SIMPLETT do
- 28:58Speaker 4: you want?
- 29:01Speaker 1: Damn?
- 29:02Speaker 4: What do you want?
- 29:06Speaker 8: I have to go?
- 29:11Speaker 1: Yeah, can't wait right?
- 29:19Speaker 2: Get chills.
- 29:25Speaker 4: And you're right.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Trade Just replace Rachel McAdams with R two D two
- 29:29Speaker 1: and that's it's just back up the money truck.
- 29:33Speaker 3: Huh.
- 29:35Speaker 4: Just just the just the memes.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Alone, I mean, just Ryan Gosling Starfighter character arguing with
- 29:43Speaker 1: an R two D two about where they're gonna get dinner.
- 29:45Speaker 1: I think I think it works because look, when you're
- 29:48Speaker 1: in a galaxy far far away, you've gotta have a
- 29:51Speaker 1: lot of options and you're gonna need to make a decision,
- 29:54Speaker 1: and that's gonna be hard.
- 29:55Speaker 2: That's gonna be a long conversation.
- 29:56Speaker 1: We're talking probably three four hour film here, just trying
- 29:59Speaker 1: to figure out what to eat.
- 30:01Speaker 5: Well, if you don't stop at this planet, don't know
- 30:04Speaker 5: when the next stop is gonna be or what don't got.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Here, the only option left is going to be the huts.
- 30:11Speaker 3: You know what they eat. Guys, you're just so nerdy.
- 30:18Speaker 3: It's fantastic.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Shut up rash.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Growing up, I was always the nerd, and now I
- 30:24Speaker 3: get to watch you too, nerding out or Star Wars.
- 30:28Speaker 12: That doesn't make you cool, by the way, Okay, I've
- 30:37Speaker 12: never been sitting around with my Indian buddies just having a.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Discussion about Ryan Gosling and the Starfighter. So I know
- 30:44Speaker 3: you guys are the nerds.
- 30:45Speaker 1: We are damaged goods. Star Wars has hurt us. We
- 30:50Speaker 1: need some redemption. They need to I mean Star Wars itself,
- 30:53Speaker 1: lucasfilm needs needs a redemption.
- 30:55Speaker 2: But we grew up on these things. We love them.
- 30:58Speaker 1: They're close to our hearts. It's you know, nostalgia type stuff.
- 31:02Speaker 1: It needs to get good again before we die.
- 31:05Speaker 4: Wait wait, wait, hang on, hay on, hang on, Raj.
- 31:08Speaker 4: Have you ever seen The Notebook?
- 31:11Speaker 3: Not all the way through?
- 31:13Speaker 4: Oh you haven't been tortured then?
- 31:16Speaker 3: No?
- 31:18Speaker 2: How how do you skate by all this stuff?
- 31:21Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 31:23Speaker 4: You date white women's it's not you.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not due to a lack of trying on
- 31:28Speaker 1: their part.
- 31:30Speaker 4: Claire.
- 31:31Speaker 3: When we were married, we went to I think two
- 31:34Speaker 3: movies the entire time that we were married, in the
- 31:38Speaker 3: five six years, whatever it was. Because she falls asleep
- 31:42Speaker 3: almost immediately, doesn't matter what Unless she's really interested in
- 31:46Speaker 3: that movie, then she'll stay away. So we saw It
- 31:49Speaker 3: and Inferno in the theater. Other than that, she wasn't
- 31:55Speaker 3: a movie person.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Isn't she an.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Agent mhm for comedy?
- 32:02Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, clearly because movies wouldn't be her thing.
- 32:07Speaker 3: And we were in Hollywood, I mean, and she did
- 32:10Speaker 3: like premieres and stuff like. We would go to those,
- 32:14Speaker 3: but we would leave right after the red carpet. She's
- 32:17Speaker 3: always yeah, and that's a bad look for her. No
- 32:22Speaker 3: one escapes the note but even.
- 32:27Speaker 5: It's it's everyone suffers this fate for two hours, gay straight.
- 32:33Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. Everyone ends up having to sit through
- 32:35Speaker 4: this movie. Thank you. Damn.
- 32:40Speaker 2: I got you, bro.
- 32:42Speaker 1: You know you know you know how I know you

- 32:59Speaker 1: close secont it.

- 34:33Speaker 1: April twenty second, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with
- 34:38Speaker 1: some birthdays. Machine Gun Kelly is turning thirty six today?
- 34:45Speaker 2: Thirty six today? Is he still with Megan Fox?
- 34:48Speaker 4: No?
- 34:49Speaker 2: Okay, So they're.
- 34:50Speaker 4: Going through I believe a fairly ugly divorce.
- 34:53Speaker 6: Are are they?
- 34:54Speaker 3: I don't think they were married. I thought they were.
- 34:58Speaker 3: I don't believe so. I know he was like she
- 35:00Speaker 3: found some questionable stuff on his phone.
- 35:02Speaker 4: Well, I believe they have a kids. They have a
- 35:05Speaker 4: kid together don't.
- 35:06Speaker 3: They They just have a baby, but they were, they
- 35:09Speaker 3: were on vacation and she something popped up on his
- 35:12Speaker 3: phone and there was a lot of it and she
- 35:16Speaker 3: left and that was that was how questionable.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Because she's a pretty forward thinking gal.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder what it was as well. But I'm
- 35:27Speaker 3: guessing it's like, you know, women sending pics or something.
- 35:31Speaker 3: I'm guessing or he sent picks to women something of
- 35:35Speaker 3: that effect.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Mind, I'm wondering, is it's something worse. I don't know.
- 35:41Speaker 2: I'm just saying I'm wondering.
- 35:43Speaker 1: But they had a interesting relationship, like remember Angelina Jolie
- 35:48Speaker 1: and Billy Bob Thornton and.
- 35:49Speaker 2: How crazy sexual and just crazy.
- 35:51Speaker 1: It kind of was like they had each other's blood
- 35:54Speaker 1: and a vial that you know, was around each other's necks.
- 35:58Speaker 1: Machine gun Kelly and Megan Fox basically kicked it up
- 36:01Speaker 1: and notched and just just really in your face with
- 36:06Speaker 1: how much they were into each other.
- 36:09Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 36:10Speaker 3: I mean, I've caught some of Brian Austin Green's podcast
- 36:14Speaker 3: where he was, you know, he was very complimentary. He's like,
- 36:16Speaker 3: I just want her to be happy, and then like
- 36:18Speaker 3: all the weird stuff started happening.
- 36:20Speaker 2: He's he's Megan Fox's ex husband.
- 36:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think they have three kids together.
- 36:27Speaker 5: Dan, I, you know, all this time we've been doing
- 36:31Speaker 5: the podcast, I now understand it and realize we have
- 36:36Speaker 5: been missing out on a really what should be a
- 36:38Speaker 5: crucial segment. And that's like you recap what what's in
- 36:42Speaker 5: the you know, your weekly issue of US magazine, so
- 36:46Speaker 5: we we have a better understanding of of of pop
- 36:49Speaker 5: culture and and and you know, things like I because
- 36:52Speaker 5: I didn't know that there was a yea Megan or
- 36:58Speaker 5: machine Gun Kelly and and or yeah, that they had
- 37:02Speaker 5: some you know, big N's toward love affair, and we're
- 37:05Speaker 5: showing stuff in public so you can, oh, yeah, you
- 37:07Speaker 5: can give us you know, the celebrity gossip.
- 37:11Speaker 1: See it's interesting you say that because my wife says
- 37:12Speaker 1: stuff to me like that as well. And other people
- 37:15Speaker 1: have said, like, how do you know this stuff? Because
- 37:17Speaker 1: I've I've been prepping for a radio show for twenty
- 37:20Speaker 1: five plus years. The stuff you see or hear on
- 37:25Speaker 1: the show right now is a very tiny amount of
- 37:29Speaker 1: the crap that I have to wade through to get
- 37:32Speaker 1: to that stuff.
- 37:33Speaker 4: So what's you know, the daily what's the tea.
- 37:39Speaker 5: With the Tea, the gossip, the you know it's the.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Oh, the tea.
- 37:43Speaker 1: I thought like, like testosterone or letter. Dude, what are
- 37:47Speaker 1: you saying?
- 37:48Speaker 4: The Tea Bag with Dave.
- 37:52Speaker 1: As much as I'd love to say no to that
- 37:54Speaker 1: segment name, but it's actually really good.
- 37:57Speaker 2: The Hollywood Tea Bag with Daniel Malley.
- 38:03Speaker 3: And Team Bagging with Dan.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Tea bagger o matic.
- 38:10Speaker 1: I honestly because of a poor memory, and I haven't
- 38:13Speaker 1: seen anything recently about Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.
- 38:17Speaker 1: They were hyper, hyper sexual and extremely out there with it.
- 38:22Speaker 1: So not only like on red carpets and stuff where
- 38:24Speaker 1: they're second on each other's tongues, but she's, you know,
- 38:27Speaker 1: wearing next to nothing and he's hanging all over her
- 38:30Speaker 1: because he grew up she was his dream girl, all
- 38:34Speaker 1: the guys that watched Transformers and saw her in Transformers.
- 38:38Speaker 1: He's the guy that got her, right, so he was
- 38:40Speaker 1: living his best life and she and they were out
- 38:45Speaker 1: there with it saying, yeah, we do this, we do that,
- 38:47Speaker 1: And they just had an open book kind of relationship.
- 38:50Speaker 1: And that was the kind of stuff while doing show
- 38:51Speaker 1: prep that I would have to wade through.

- 40:19Speaker 1: The Treehouse Talkback segment, which we are about to do
- 40:22Speaker 1: because it is Tuesday and radio people love alliteration, so
- 40:26Speaker 1: we feel like doing Treehouse Talkback Tuesday. But before we
- 40:29Speaker 1: get to that, I can tell Trey has something on
- 40:32Speaker 1: his tongue that he wants to spit out at me.
- 40:35Speaker 2: You've got something I should do.
- 40:36Speaker 4: I'm damn sure not making a tea bagging joke with
- 40:38Speaker 4: that intro.
- 40:40Speaker 1: I tried to set you up for it, or I've
- 40:43Speaker 1: really tried to set myself up to hit you back
- 40:45Speaker 1: with something. But anyway, you snuffed it up or sniffed
- 40:48Speaker 1: it out. Actually you did both, so good on you.
- 40:51Speaker 1: So it is Tuesday. Let's do Treehouse Talkback Tuesday. Here
- 40:55Speaker 1: inside the Treehouse messages that came in over the last
- 40:59Speaker 1: I don't know a week and a half, so, and
- 41:00Speaker 1: we're going to start with Robert, our dear Puddy and
- 41:03Speaker 1: old Palell. Robert Powell, who was called into this show
- 41:06Speaker 1: for many, many.
- 41:07Speaker 13: Years, a show about EBT and food stamp benefits.
- 41:12Speaker 2: Let me start him over just a little bit.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Cut him off there.
- 41:15Speaker 13: The Friday show about EBT and food stamp benefits.
- 41:21Speaker 6: Got me to thinking, By the way, this is Robert Kyll.
- 41:24Speaker 14: Before they switched over to electronic benefits transfer with an
- 41:28Speaker 14: actual physical card, there was no junk food being bought
- 41:34Speaker 14: on paper hoopy tims.
- 41:36Speaker 9: It was impossible. So all we're doing is reregulating that.
- 41:43Speaker 14: From about nineteen ninety coming back, hey guys.
- 41:52Speaker 1: To catch you up, RAJ, because I think you missed
- 41:54Speaker 1: that show. The state of Texas in the Senate has passed.
- 41:59Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's because.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Oh okay, well my bad.
- 42:05Speaker 1: Well then you know so, uh I don't remember back then,
- 42:08Speaker 1: you know that the paper you know, eb T stuff.
- 42:11Speaker 1: Does that sound right you guys that uh they're called
- 42:16Speaker 1: food stamps for a reason.
- 42:17Speaker 4: Is they there were actual stamps and yeah, you got.
- 42:20Speaker 2: I remember that. What I mean is that, uh, you
- 42:23Speaker 2: were limited.
- 42:23Speaker 1: As far as the purchases that the that the physical
- 42:26Speaker 1: food stamps could make.
- 42:27Speaker 5: I think that is correct because I think literally it
- 42:29Speaker 5: was like there were meat, cheese, vegetables, and uh dairy.
- 42:34Speaker 5: I think that was uh like it was very it was.
- 42:40Speaker 5: It was very limited. I don't remember how limited. But
- 42:43Speaker 5: and then they went to the the card system just
- 42:46Speaker 5: to uh well for two reasons, one to you know,
- 42:50Speaker 5: take some of the stigma away from it, but also
- 42:53Speaker 5: because as technology was progressing, grocery stores are like, we
- 42:57Speaker 5: really don't want to have to mess with yeah this
- 43:00Speaker 5: paper stuff.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:01Speaker 1: Plus it gets confusing when McDonald's is doing its monopoly thing.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't put a whipsnap on Pennsylvania Railroad.
- 43:12Speaker 3: I believe they deregulated that for a few years where
- 43:16Speaker 3: you could get like you can go into McDonald's will
- 43:19Speaker 3: say EBT, welcome here, or you know, Chicken Express or
- 43:23Speaker 3: whatever it is, and I think they deregulate. I think
- 43:26Speaker 3: they're bringing it back now to where you can't buy
- 43:27Speaker 3: jump food. I think there was a period where you could.
- 43:30Speaker 1: It's still and to me, it's it's still pretty subjective
- 43:33Speaker 1: as far as what's considered junk food what isn't.
- 43:35Speaker 5: So that's yeah, this isn't about McDonald's or anything like that.
- 43:37Speaker 5: That but this is about whether you can buy you know,
- 43:40Speaker 5: potato chips and stuff like that and.
- 43:42Speaker 2: Soda and candy. Yeah.
- 43:43Speaker 1: I do find it interesting on that front, because look,
- 43:47Speaker 1: I don't I don't. I really don't have that big
- 43:48Speaker 1: of a problem regulating what you know, the people that
- 43:51Speaker 1: are on those programs can and cannot buy. It's just
- 43:54Speaker 1: I have more of a concern about the overall problem
- 43:57Speaker 1: that healthy food quote unquote healthy food is more expensive
- 44:01Speaker 1: and the junk food is cheaper, and we keep promoting
- 44:04Speaker 1: the stuff that's bad for you type stuff because it's
- 44:08Speaker 1: because there are big corporations that make it, and big
- 44:10Speaker 1: corporations run the damn country. That's my problem overall with
- 44:13Speaker 1: the whole food stamp and whether or not, you know,
- 44:15Speaker 1: people on the wickers, you know, snap benefits should be
- 44:18Speaker 1: allowed to buy a PEPSI.
- 44:26Speaker 2: I guess that's where I stand.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Yeah, And then I just want the stuff I buy
- 44:31Speaker 1: to be cheaper, Like if I if I'm buying some
- 44:33Speaker 1: chicken breast, I'd like it to be, you know, cheaper
- 44:35Speaker 1: than a twelve pack of doctor pepper.
- 44:39Speaker 4: Yeah, where are you buying chicken that it's not?
- 44:44Speaker 2: I was making a bad example.
- 44:51Speaker 3: That's something that's gonna be some really good chicken.
- 44:56Speaker 2: All right, Back to Treehouse talk back, coming back.
- 45:01Speaker 8: Hey guys, longtime listener, second time talkbacker.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Uh, what happened? I haven't heard him in a while. Hey,

- 45:18Speaker 3: still sick now, but I'm back.
- 45:22Speaker 2: When he's traveling, he's not talking. That's how it goes.
- 45:25Speaker 2: That was justin by the way.
- 45:27Speaker 15: Oh okay, So on Friday, I show you guys. We're
- 45:29Speaker 15: talking about how the moon's got and.
- 45:31Speaker 2: I believe this is Linda.
- 45:33Speaker 15: Hey, so on Friday, I show you, guys, we're talking
- 45:35Speaker 15: about how the moon's got all their names and everything.
- 45:38Speaker 15: I can tell you exactly how that happened. Basic white girl.
- 45:43Speaker 15: There's one day that she's sitting there all in her
- 45:45Speaker 15: feelings saying how the Maximus Turtle moon is making her happy,
- 45:48Speaker 15: and somebody's like, yep, that's it. What's next, Why we're
- 45:52Speaker 15: caving to basic white girls? The world may never know anyway, Thanks, guys.
- 46:00Speaker 2: I had a lot of it that way, but I'm
- 46:02Speaker 2: glad she did.
- 46:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 46:04Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, if I you know, living in Los Angeles,
- 46:06Speaker 3: if I had, if I heard one more time, how
- 46:09Speaker 3: you know something was in retrograde and what was making
- 46:13Speaker 3: you know, these girls happy or sad? I was gonna
- 46:17Speaker 3: I was going to kill someone or myself. One of
- 46:19Speaker 3: the two was always say, you know, always in retrograde.
- 46:24Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh my god, the.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Moon has nothing to do with your mood.
- 46:27Speaker 2: How about that? Oh oh, let's let's try that.
- 46:30Speaker 5: Yeah, go tell that to any police officer or emergency
- 46:35Speaker 5: room worker or bartender that the moon has no effect
- 46:37Speaker 5: on people.
- 46:38Speaker 4: Please be my guest.
- 46:41Speaker 1: I think you're using it as an excuse. It's a
- 46:43Speaker 1: super moon and an excuse to do super crimes.
- 46:46Speaker 5: You the amount of the crazy that comes out, especially,
- 46:50Speaker 5: go ask any er worker if the moon doesn't have
- 46:54Speaker 5: an effect on people.
- 46:56Speaker 1: So when there's a new moon which means no moon,
- 46:59Speaker 1: is there no active.
- 47:01Speaker 4: It isn't more full moon or is it worse?
- 47:04Speaker 5: But the whole planet there is something planets in different
- 47:09Speaker 5: alignments mercury and retrograde.
- 47:11Speaker 14: But it.
- 47:14Speaker 5: Amazingly that crap really does have an effect on people.
- 47:17Speaker 2: So Trey is part basic white girl according to Linda.
- 47:20Speaker 5: No, I mean, and I think the names go back
- 47:23Speaker 5: a lot farther than basic White Girls.
- 47:24Speaker 13: But but yeah, answer to the question on Monday show
- 47:32Speaker 13: about Fort Worth Alliance Airport, it is strictly a cargo airport,
- 47:37Speaker 13: mainly as the hub for FedEx and EPs.
