0:17
Speaker 1: It is time to leave or worries outside and laugh
0:21
Speaker 1: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
0:24
Speaker 1: Trey Trenholm, Raj Sharma and mister Jerry called well, today
0:30
Speaker 1: is bred Day, June fourteenth, twenty twenty five. We're at
0:37
Speaker 1: the end of another week. Blessed to be here. Yes,
0:46
Speaker 1: So Sunday is Father's Day and for most of us
0:50
Speaker 1: here inside the treehouse, it's a little awkward because most
0:52
Speaker 1: of us don't have our dads anymore. Raj, how many
0:56
Speaker 1: years ago did you lose your daddy?
0:58
Speaker 2: Twenty two so? Three years? Oh? Got it?
1:02
Speaker 1: Twenty so three years ago? Trey, how long has it
1:05
Speaker 1: been since mister Trenholm passed? Eleven years eleven? It's it
1:12
Speaker 1: been that long? Yeah, yeah, Jerry, do you still have
1:18
Speaker 1: your dad?
1:19
Speaker 3: I have my biological dad. He's the only one that
1:22
Speaker 3: I have left. My adoption of dad died nineteen years ago.
1:25
Speaker 1: Gotcha. My dad passed away a couple of years ago.
1:31
Speaker 1: So we all we're all part of the dead Dad's club.
1:35
Speaker 1: Although Jerry's showing off because he's got another one. Technically,
1:41
Speaker 1: I have a biological father somewhere, but I don't know
1:46
Speaker 1: his status.
1:48
Speaker 2: I think I've been watching Forensic Files and I think
1:51
Speaker 2: I think I do really yeah, I think I know
1:57
Speaker 2: exactly where it could be. I'm just going on a guest.
2:01
Speaker 1: All right, hang on to that little nugget because I
2:03
Speaker 1: want to. I want to make sure we have plenty
2:05
Speaker 1: of time to hear about that in the meantime before
2:12
Speaker 1: we get to Raj thinking he found my father on
2:15
Speaker 1: an episode of Forensic Files on television. Lucky me. We
2:19
Speaker 1: can actually celebrate Father's Day by doing something especially stupid,
2:26
Speaker 1: and that's celebrating fake dads, because, let's be honest, there
2:33
Speaker 1: are some great great fathers out there, but the running
2:36
Speaker 1: joke is there are so many bad dads that we
2:38
Speaker 1: look to TV dads to really get the good, good wisdom.
2:44
Speaker 1: I loved my dad, Raj, you had a great dad. Tray,
2:47
Speaker 1: you had an amazing dad. Jerry, I'm not sure, but
2:52
Speaker 1: we can all appreciate the TV dad. It's a different
2:56
Speaker 1: it's a different character than the TV husband. Right, TV
3:00
Speaker 1: husband is an idiot usually like a it's like like
3:06
Speaker 1: like in the TV show. According to Jim, you want
3:08
Speaker 1: to talk about the stereotypical TV husband, it was it
3:14
Speaker 1: was Jim Belushi.
3:15
Speaker 2: On that show King of Queens, same thing.
3:17
Speaker 1: King of Queen's very similar. Yeah, but that makes you think, Okay,
3:22
Speaker 1: someone decided to go ask a bunch of people, well,
3:24
Speaker 1: who are the best TV dads of all time? I
3:31
Speaker 1: think we all know the worst. And the irony to uh,
3:36
Speaker 1: doctor Cliff, doctor Heathcliff Huxtable is that he used to top
3:41
Speaker 1: this list, but since it found out that he'd like
3:44
Speaker 1: to drug women and sleep with them against their will
3:47
Speaker 1: in real life, not the character on Cosby, Uh, he
3:51
Speaker 1: no longer makes this list.
3:55
Speaker 2: Yeah. But even on the show, like he was telling
3:57
Speaker 2: people who he was, like he did right, Like what
4:00
Speaker 2: was his job?
4:01
Speaker 1: He's a gynecologist in the basement of his house.
4:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't get creepier than that.
4:10
Speaker 1: Granted it was a very nice home. It was a
4:13
Speaker 1: very technically still technically the basement.
4:18
Speaker 2: And some of the people, some of the accusers were
4:20
Speaker 2: actually guest starters on the show as pregnant women in
4:23
Speaker 2: the basement.
4:24
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, co starring is patient number three but
4:28
Speaker 1: victim number one. Yeah, unfortunately so Yeah, Cosby no longer
4:36
Speaker 1: reigned supreme on the best TV Dads of All Time list.
4:40
Speaker 1: The top twenty five best dads of all time. I'll
4:44
Speaker 1: run through these here. Number twenty five Ward Cleaver from
4:47
Speaker 1: Leave It to Beaver, Okay, excellent. Tony Misscelli from Who's
4:52
Speaker 1: the Boss comes in at twenty four. Tony Danza beat
4:58
Speaker 1: Ward Cleaver.
5:00
Speaker 2: That's kind of awesome.
5:02
Speaker 1: That sounds like a headline he probably did. Yeah. Twenty
5:08
Speaker 1: three Tom Bradford, who is the dad in eight is enough?
5:11
Speaker 1: That would be uh, mister Dick van Patten, Tim Taylor
5:15
Speaker 1: from Home Improvement at twenty two. Okay, surprised he's that
5:20
Speaker 1: far down on the list. Well, he was a combination
5:25
Speaker 1: of TV husband, which is kind of an idiot, mixed
5:29
Speaker 1: in with TV dad, and so because of that, he
5:32
Speaker 1: didn't have a whole lot of that TV dad wisdom.
5:34
Speaker 1: He had more of that TV husband idiocy because I
5:37
Speaker 1: mean in almost every episode he's blowing himself up or something.
5:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was also in real life for convicted
5:42
Speaker 2: drug dealer, so he kind of wanted to push past
5:45
Speaker 2: the wisdom.
5:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. Number twenty one Stephen Keaton the Dad and Family Ties. Okay, yeah,
5:53
Speaker 1: Number twenty Red Foreman from that seventies show. Yeah, I
5:57
Speaker 1: love it now. That is a dad. Yeah, that is
6:00
Speaker 1: a tea. That is a quint essential TV dad except
6:03
Speaker 1: for the fact that he was kind of mean, So
6:05
Speaker 1: he really stands out on this list, right. Number nineteen
6:09
Speaker 1: Philip Drummond from Different Strokes, You know, the one that
6:12
Speaker 1: we've talked about in here, that kidnapped a pair of
6:14
Speaker 1: black boys from a basketball court and took them home
6:16
Speaker 1: as his own.
6:19
Speaker 2: White privilege.
6:25
Speaker 1: Number eighteen Philip Banks, the dad in Fresh Prince of
6:29
Speaker 1: bel Air. I'm sorry, but just that one episode, just
6:33
Speaker 1: the one episode between him and Will Smith talking about
6:38
Speaker 1: Will Smith's dad on the show. Oh man, that still
6:44
Speaker 1: kind of cracks me up a little bit. That was
6:46
Speaker 1: some power. That was some powerful stuff for his sitcom.
6:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then the final episode when they start, like
6:51
Speaker 2: the house is empty and it's just Will and Uncle Phil,
6:55
Speaker 2: and he starts reminiscing about all the stuff they did
6:57
Speaker 2: together and that that hug was like, oh okay, yeah,
7:02
Speaker 2: that was really that was really good.
7:06
Speaker 1: Number seventeen Phil Dunfie from Modern Family. He beats out
7:10
Speaker 1: Uncle Phil. We actually went back and rewatched the majority
7:17
Speaker 1: of Modern Family recently, and that show holds up. It
7:21
Speaker 1: has moments where it's really really clever, and then they
7:24
Speaker 1: have a hard time balancing sometimes being clever with being
7:27
Speaker 1: too cute, and near the end it went more too cute,
7:30
Speaker 1: see than clever, and so we usually stop watching somewhere
7:33
Speaker 1: in there. But still a bunch of those seasons are
7:35
Speaker 1: really really funny.
7:36
Speaker 2: But like his physical comedy is just so ty. Barnett's
7:40
Speaker 2: physical comedy is just so good.
7:42
Speaker 1: When he's on that sort of elliptical cross trainer thing
7:48
Speaker 1: going around the neighborhood. Have you've seen this tray? So
7:51
Speaker 1: you know what elliptical is at the gym?
7:53
Speaker 4: Right, I know what you're talking about.
7:55
Speaker 1: And you know the the trike looking thing. It's like
7:58
Speaker 1: your legs spread out wider than an elliptical. Then you're
8:01
Speaker 1: this is what he would. This is a whole episode
8:02
Speaker 1: of him going around the neighborhood. One of these things.
8:05
Speaker 1: I think I saw one one time on the Katie
8:07
Speaker 1: Trail when we lived in Dallas, and I thought, oh wow,
8:10
Speaker 1: that guy's single, and then it will be forever.
8:15
Speaker 2: The episode where he has the flu but doesn't know
8:17
Speaker 2: it and he's at Disneyland and he wants to ride
8:20
Speaker 2: the Riots with his son and he's going through the
8:23
Speaker 2: flu like he passes out on magic Like that.
8:28
Speaker 1: Really was good. He had to actually act out passing
8:31
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the roller coaster. It's phenomenal.
8:34
Speaker 1: Chef's kiss. Okay, So going back to the list, Top
8:37

11:18
Speaker 1: Coming up just a little bit later, we'll finish the
11:23
Speaker 1: best TV dads of all time. But I want to
11:26
Speaker 1: make sure that I want to make sure we check
11:28
Speaker 1: in with Trey, who's sort of like our tree house daddy,
11:31
Speaker 1: and that's because he's the oldest. Now, keeping in mind,
11:34
Speaker 1: it's not my much, but as it is your for
11:40
Speaker 1: the sake of this argument, you are treehouse Daddy. Trey
11:45
Speaker 1: decided to flex his dad muscles this morning by trying
11:50
Speaker 1: a new kettlebell workout. What did you combine with your
11:52
Speaker 1: kettlebell workout? Trey?
11:54
Speaker 4: It was a kettlebell hit workout.
11:57
Speaker 1: So the kettlebell workout wasn't difficult to know off for
12:00
Speaker 1: our daddy Tray that he needed to combine it with
12:03
Speaker 1: a high intensity interval training element.
12:07
Speaker 2: Do we not? Do we not remember two weeks AGO's lunge?
12:11
Speaker 1: Thank you, Raj. Two weeks ago you thought you tore
12:14
Speaker 1: your quadricep muscle doing a lunge. Now you're doing high intensity,
12:20
Speaker 1: high intensity interval kettlebell training.
12:23
Speaker 4: But but but doing a nine minute warm up stretch
12:27
Speaker 4: thing beforehand?
12:30
Speaker 1: I don't know if you doing that workout would be
12:32
Speaker 1: wise with a nine day warm up.
12:36
Speaker 2: You should try the one I'm on, it's excellent. It's
12:38
Speaker 2: the kettle chip workout. It is oh so good, so
12:42
Speaker 2: many different flavors, different.
12:46
Speaker 1: Lots of yeah, oh yeah, cream and onion.
12:50
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there you go, cracked.
12:53
Speaker 1: That's a good one.
12:54
Speaker 2: So that's that's my leg day.
12:58
Speaker 1: Funky fusion that it did. Yeah, I mean this with
13:06
Speaker 1: all sincerity, Trey. Kettlebell workouts are hard enough. Why do
13:09
Speaker 1: you feel the need to add more intensity by combining
13:12
Speaker 1: it with a hit workout?
13:14
Speaker 8: So I follow this guy and that does the workouts,
13:18
Speaker 8: And that was one of the things that popped up
13:21
Speaker 8: was just I was really looking at it more for
13:24
Speaker 8: time and I was like, all right, what the hell?
13:28
Speaker 8: And and make the mistake It hit whipped my ass.
13:33
Speaker 8: It was a thirty one minute workout. It took me
13:34
Speaker 8: actually about thirty eight minutes to get through because I
13:37
Speaker 8: had to hit some pauses here and there just to
13:39
Speaker 8: catch my breath.
13:43
Speaker 9: In that.
13:43
Speaker 2: I picture how Trey got into this, and this is
13:47
Speaker 2: just how the movie Brain of Mine works is. After
13:50
Speaker 2: the quad scare, Trey was in my head is like
13:55
Speaker 2: in a dark room, like staring at his quad and
13:57
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, so you think you can take me down?
14:02
Speaker 2: Kettlebell like and that's all it was said. And then
14:04
Speaker 2: the next thing, that intense workout. There's a montageous foreigner
14:08
Speaker 2: song that plays. Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.
14:11
Speaker 1: I just think it's so scary that, as a fifty
14:14
Speaker 1: year old man, you're combining a kettlebell workout with a
14:17
Speaker 1: hit workout. If I was to do that, it would
14:21
Speaker 1: just be hitting myself in the head with the kettlebell.
14:27
Speaker 2: I need kettle bell.
14:30
Speaker 9: All right, let me let me.
14:30
Speaker 1: Try this new TikTok workout.
14:32
Speaker 9: And go.
14:37
Speaker 1: All right, that's that's my first rep. All right, I mean,
14:41
Speaker 1: let me let me try my next one. Oh how
14:45
Speaker 1: many sets of this do I have to do? Oh?
14:51
Speaker 2: And then Dan's new new series, The Best e rs
14:53
Speaker 2: in Town.
14:59
Speaker 1: How to hit your deductible in one day.
15:06
Speaker 2: CT. It's not it's not over time anymore.
15:09
Speaker 1: That's right.
15:11
Speaker 2: You can do it in one the danil Malley workout
15:13
Speaker 2: CT in one session.
15:18
Speaker 1: You remember seven minute abs, here's five minutes C.
15:25
Speaker 2: That's right. Oh, fill out the form with this big pencil.
15:33
Speaker 1: I can't. My grip strength is shot. That's probably why
15:40
Speaker 1: they That's probably why they invented the big pencil. Because
15:42
Speaker 1: the guy that did the hit workout combined with the kettlebells.
15:46
Speaker 1: His hand was cramped around the kettlebell handle, and the
15:49
Speaker 1: only writing utensil that would fit is a big pencil.
15:54
Speaker 2: Does he always fart when he blinks his right eye?
15:56
Speaker 9: That's weird?
15:58
Speaker 1: All right? Second set? Oh extrap, Oh it hurts alright,
16:08
Speaker 1: let me try this again. That'll give me just enough
16:16
Speaker 1: for the last set. Here we go. Oh, I put
16:24
Speaker 1: my finger in the wrong spot.
16:28
Speaker 2: Shouldn't have car bloaded.
16:35
Speaker 1: Sorry, ma'am. It's totally involuntary at this point.
16:42
Speaker 2: The only workout series not on DVD.
16:50
Speaker 1: I have an idea. Let's do a hit cattlebell workout
16:53
Speaker 1: to the oldie training. Richard Simmons comes bouncing out this
17:02
Speaker 1: training session. This training session sponsored by Depends.
17:10
Speaker 4: And your local er.
17:16
Speaker 1: Oh, the TikTok influencers. The fitness industry is gonna just
17:19
Speaker 1: really hate you, but the big farm is gonna love you.
17:24
Speaker 1: So you managed to go? Oh yeah, so did you
17:28
Speaker 1: manage to get through the entire kettlebell slash hit work
17:31
Speaker 1: out without hitting yourself in the head or dropping a
17:34
Speaker 1: kettlebell on your foot?
17:36
Speaker 2: H wow?
17:38
Speaker 1: Okay, well then well done.
17:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I guess the question remains what did happen?
17:46
Speaker 1: Tree?
17:48
Speaker 8: I mean, there are a couple of times I was,
17:51
Speaker 8: you know, on the ground, trying to catch my breath,
17:54
Speaker 8: pondering what the hell am I doing?
17:58
Speaker 1: What got you off the floor like a twenty five
18:04
Speaker 1: year old wearing Lululemons.
18:06
Speaker 4: No, I do try to.
18:09
Speaker 8: There's a little like yoga workout room on the side
18:13
Speaker 8: of the gym and the complex I live, and I
18:16
Speaker 8: try to go in there so.
18:18
Speaker 4: You know, my old my old man.
18:20
Speaker 8: You know, workouts aren't distracting to anyone else, but you can't.
18:28
Speaker 8: You can't look out by the pool and go.
18:30
Speaker 1: Oh, you know that's smart though, because that reminds you
18:34
Speaker 1: why you're working out in the first place.
18:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, a bunch of girls I'm too old for.
18:38
Speaker 2: It's I love about Jerry's like, so what went wrong?
18:41
Speaker 2: So it's like nothing and then just he just wheels away.
18:48
Speaker 8: There's some you know, definitely some times where thank god,
18:51
Speaker 8: I am in a room by myself, because especially when
18:53
Speaker 8: trying to do like some of the ab stuff where
18:55
Speaker 8: you know you're doing a like roll up and then
18:59
Speaker 8: thrust your hips the air and stuffy little gas my
19:02
Speaker 8: escape here and there.
19:02
Speaker 4: Because uh huh, you just that point.
19:06
Speaker 8: That is something I have noticed with age, like especially
19:08
Speaker 8: for some reason, climbing the stairs, like going upstairs for
19:11
Speaker 8: some reason, it's like, you know.
19:13
Speaker 2: You don't need to work out, you need a proctologist. Buddy.
19:18
Speaker 1: Let me get a look in here. Let's see me
19:21
Speaker 1: take a look. Take that weird number one number one.
19:31
Speaker 2: Now I know why you always live on the first floor.

Speaker 4: It seems like a low bar.
21:29
Speaker 1: That is some quality dad advice though, Yeah, and you
21:33
Speaker 1: know the episode, Like, I love that show.
21:37
Speaker 8: I think Jeffrey Tambor was one of the most underrated
21:40
Speaker 8: between that and Larry Sanders show. I think he's just
21:42
Speaker 8: absolutely brilliant. But there is one the first season. I
21:45
Speaker 8: think it's like episode six where it's the conjugal Visit
21:47
Speaker 8: one where Michael Bluth is trying to get you know something,
21:51
Speaker 8: so he's getting like a hooker for his dad. Yeah,
21:54
Speaker 8: so there there'd be another reason why I kind of
21:57
Speaker 8: questioned the list.
22:00
Speaker 2: Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
22:05
Speaker 1: So in that case, there were some surprises as far
22:08
Speaker 1: as the top twenty five best TV dads of all time.
22:11
Speaker 1: That's one I think we'd all agree. We're really wondering
22:15
Speaker 1: how it is. Peter Griffin from Family Guy came in
22:18
Speaker 1: at number sixteen on this list, so it's an entertaining list,
22:22
Speaker 1: no doubt. And that's just twenty five to eleven. So
22:26
Speaker 1: let's now do the top ten best TV dads of
22:32
Speaker 1: all time. Number ten from The Munsters Herman Munster excellent.
22:38
Speaker 1: You're talking about the heyday of Hollywood TV black and white.
22:45
Speaker 1: That was a kind of a controversial show for the
22:48
Speaker 1: time because you're talking about a family show where family
22:53
Speaker 1: was very very vanilla on TV, and the Monsters obviously
23:00
Speaker 1: stood out quite a bit.
23:03
Speaker 8: I'm surprised something of that age made the list because.
23:06
Speaker 1: I am too. They had leave it to Beaver on
23:13
Speaker 1: spot number twenty five.
23:14
Speaker 4: Well, but and that low I kind of understand.
23:18
Speaker 1: But if this list was done twenty years ago, Ward
23:21
Speaker 1: Cleaver is probably in the top ten. Keeping that in mind.
23:25
Speaker 1: At number nine of the best TV dads of all time,
23:29
Speaker 1: Fred Sandford from Sandford and Son excellent. Yeah, not so
23:36
Speaker 1: much for the self esteem building for his son there,
23:39
Speaker 1: but still great TV dad, Classic TV Dad number eight
23:45
Speaker 1: from Step by Step Frank Lambert. Okay, how in the
23:50
Speaker 1: actual does Patrick Duffy, who portrays the dad and step
23:56
Speaker 1: by Step make this list?
23:59
Speaker 2: Talented actor, a brilliant human being, a practicing book.
24:04
Speaker 1: He wasn't even the best dad on things on TG
24:07
Speaker 1: I have.
24:09
Speaker 2: Abby Ewing. Yeah, it's still part of a dynasty. He
24:17
Speaker 2: makes the list always, all.
24:19
Speaker 1: Right, Well, speaking of TG, if he actually is not
24:22
Speaker 1: the best dad on TG, if that was the thank goodness,
24:26
Speaker 1: it's Friday lined up back in the day at number seven.
24:29
Speaker 1: Danny Tanner from Full House. Okay, yeah, but not if
24:34
Speaker 1: you saw not if you saw his stand up.
24:36
Speaker 2: That is correct.
24:38
Speaker 1: That's a very very different man. Yes, just goes to
24:42
Speaker 1: show how good of an actor Bob Sagett is that
24:44
Speaker 1: he can play one of the sweetest, most innocent seeming
24:48
Speaker 1: fathers in television history but be one of the most
24:52
Speaker 1: foul mouth stand up comedians in history.
24:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had to, They used to have to put
24:55
Speaker 2: out a notice at comedy clubs when Full House came out,
25:00
Speaker 2: said this comedy show is blue and he would open
25:03
Speaker 2: with this joke and it was one of my favorites.
25:05
Speaker 2: And he said his daughter came up to him after
25:07
Speaker 2: she saw a few episodes of the show Full House
25:10
Speaker 2: and said, Dad, you're just nothing but a sweet, sweet
25:14
Speaker 2: old actor. And he said, on, thank you, honey, and
25:17
Speaker 2: you're out of the wheel, bitch. And then he would go,
25:22
Speaker 2: it's not it's it's it's not ABC TV. Buckle up,
25:26
Speaker 2: and that's how he would start his sets. So that
25:30
Speaker 2: was pretty awesome.
25:32
Speaker 1: Coming in at number six Best TV Dads of all
25:34
Speaker 1: Time from Roseanne dan Connor about that, I have no
25:39
Speaker 1: issues with that. Not only am I a massive, massive
25:42
Speaker 1: fan of his as an actor, but the character. Yeah,
25:47
Speaker 1: it was good TV dad. Number five Carl Winslow from
25:50
Speaker 1: Family Matters, which gives me an excuse to bring up
25:55
Speaker 1: the Carl Winslow theory. Carl Winslow, the dad from Family Ties,
26:02
Speaker 1: is also Officer Al Powell from the Diehard Universe because
26:07
Speaker 1: it's the same actor, Reginald vil Johnson, and same job,
26:11
Speaker 1: same job, same city. I think, no, no, no, I
26:13
Speaker 1: think Family Matters with Chicago whatever, it's the same thing.
26:17
Speaker 1: It's Reginald vel Johnson theory.
26:19
Speaker 2: And I think he got a transfer.
26:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was trying to get away from John McLean.
26:25
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I've had enough of this. Okay,
26:28
Speaker 1: now that now we get into the top four from
26:30
Speaker 1: Bob's Burgers Bob Belcher Top TV Dads of all Time?
26:33
Speaker 1: I never I have not seen enough episodes to put
26:35
Speaker 1: him anywhere on the list.
26:37
Speaker 9: I can.
26:38
Speaker 1: I can concur with that one. That's a good one, Okay, Yeah,
26:40
Speaker 1: he's a good job. Number three Archie Bunker from All
26:43
Speaker 1: in the Family was no or just really really memorable.
26:48
Speaker 2: No, we're a giant racist.
26:49
Speaker 1: It's a giant racist.
26:52
Speaker 2: So for the seventies, really memorable. Yeah.
26:57
Speaker 1: Number two, Number two for the best TV dads of
27:01
Speaker 1: all time? Andy Taylor The Andy Griffith Show. Wow, now
27:06
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. Who could they have possibly
27:10
Speaker 1: put in the top spot over Andy Taylor from the
27:16
Speaker 1: Andy Griffith Show. And if you said Al Bundy from
27:20
Speaker 1: Married with Children, you would be.
27:22
Speaker 2: Correct, and that would be our generation.
27:33
Speaker 1: Just like our generation. This list has its flaws, but
27:38
Speaker 1: for the most part, I'm okay with them.
27:41
Speaker 3: When he really needed to show up, he did, you know,
27:43
Speaker 3: when he beat the crap out of that guy that
27:45
Speaker 3: hurt Kelly, and you know all those times he did
27:49
Speaker 3: step in to stand up for his wife and his
27:51
Speaker 3: family and all that. But it really really mattered. He
27:54
Speaker 3: was there.
27:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, the satellite Dish. Fantastic episode. He gets electrocuted and
28:02
Speaker 2: falls off the roof, but still loves his family.
28:07
Speaker 1: And let's not forget his four touchdown game whole high
28:10
Speaker 1: school rise. Maybe that's what got in the top slot.

29:08
Speaker 1: is Jerry called well. Today is Friday, June fourteenth, twenty
29:10
Speaker 1: twenty five. Then a father centric show today because Father's
29:15
Speaker 1: Day is coming up on Sunday. Raj, we need to
29:18
Speaker 1: go back to this you mentioned it earlier. Why is
29:20
Speaker 1: it you think you found my biolog How is it
29:23
Speaker 1: you think you found my biological father.
29:26
Speaker 2: Well before we came on the air, I was watching
29:30
Speaker 2: as I do HLN, and they have forensic Files on
29:34
Speaker 2: and I don't know if it was forensic files, but
29:36
Speaker 2: it's one of the shows where they're talking about, you know,
29:38
Speaker 2: small town this and small town And there was a
29:41
Speaker 2: baby boy who was in the eighties kidnapped and taken
29:45
Speaker 2: to more, Oklahoma. And I don't know how far that's
29:48
Speaker 2: from where you were traded in the walmart, but I
29:53
Speaker 2: am glad that those of the other family had the receipt.
29:57
Speaker 1: Real quick, let me fill in the gap here. I
30:00
Speaker 1: was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and for three months I
30:02
Speaker 1: was in foster care. And when my parents came to
30:05
Speaker 1: pick me up from the State of Oklahoma Health and
30:08
Speaker 1: Human Services in Oklahoma City, they were given the wrong baby.
30:14
Speaker 1: Another couple had taken me somewhere south or west of
30:19
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City to their town, and my dad and my
30:25
Speaker 1: mom had waited years to get matched with a baby,
30:28
Speaker 1: which was me. They wanted me. They didn't want this
30:30
Speaker 1: other kid that somebody else been matched with, So they
30:33
Speaker 1: decided to meet halfway between Oklahoma City and the town
30:36
Speaker 1: where these people had already gotten me home, and it
30:38
Speaker 1: happened to be in a Walmart parking lot. They made
30:40
Speaker 1: the switch, and that's all she wrote. I don't know
30:43
Speaker 1: what town that was in, and my Oklahoma geography is fuzzy,
30:49
Speaker 1: like my memories when I was three months old, so
30:51
Speaker 1: I don't know which Walmart in Oklahoma they did the swap.
30:56
Speaker 1: I don't know if More, Oklahoma is west or southwest
30:59
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma City.
31:00
Speaker 8: If it is, then More Oklahoma's south of Oklahoma City,
31:03
Speaker 8: right smack Dad between Norman and Oklahoma.
31:05
Speaker 1: City, so it could have been more. Tell me more
31:09
Speaker 1: about who you think might be my biological daddy.
31:11
Speaker 2: Well, they actually exchanged you and not for store credit,
31:14
Speaker 2: so that's good. But the husband and wife abducted a child.
31:23
Speaker 2: And that's why I think it's your dad, because they
31:26
Speaker 2: went to the hotel motel that they were hold up in,
31:30
Speaker 2: and as the police surrounded the motel, they banged on
31:34
Speaker 2: the door and yelled for the father. I can't remember
31:36
Speaker 2: his name, but they yelled for the dad to come out,
31:39
Speaker 2: and he wouldn't and they kept banging on the door
31:41
Speaker 2: and he kept going, what what like you need to
31:44
Speaker 2: come out? We're checking on your welfare. And he goes,
31:46
Speaker 2: they didn't ask anything. They said, come out, we're checking
31:49
Speaker 2: on your welfare. And he says out loud, I ain't got.
31:52
Speaker 9: No baby in here.
31:55
Speaker 1: Dad.
32:00
Speaker 2: They didn't even ask that man if he had abducted
32:02
Speaker 2: a child. He just yells out the first communication he
32:05
Speaker 2: has and goes, I ain't got no baby in here.
32:07
Speaker 2: And the way he said it, I was like, that's
32:09
Speaker 2: dand's dead.
32:10
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound anything like me.
32:14
Speaker 2: I know, but it does sound like you're dad. He
32:19
Speaker 2: just automatically gave forth information for no reason.
32:24
Speaker 1: Nobody asked did you get a name? Like, did you
32:27
Speaker 1: get a last name for him or the or the lady?
32:31
Speaker 2: The last name. I didn't get the first name, but
32:33
Speaker 2: the last name was Walter Walters. Is what I got
32:37
Speaker 2: was the last name.
32:38
Speaker 1: And so here's one of the mysteries of my youth.
32:41
Speaker 1: All right, So, uh, my birth certificate, like Obama, is
32:47
Speaker 1: not an actual birth certificate. It's a certificate of live
32:50
Speaker 1: birth because I guess they didn't hand him out to
32:55
Speaker 1: the rescue babies. I don't know. So so on my
33:02
Speaker 1: on on my adoption decree, Okay, my adoption decree that
33:08
Speaker 1: my parents got when they when they got me where
33:10
Speaker 1: it changes my name to their name?
33:13
Speaker 2: Right?
33:15
Speaker 1: My given name was baby boy Guffy. Oh so I
33:21
Speaker 1: didn't even get a first name.
33:23
Speaker 2: What if that was your first name? You're so lucky.
33:27
Speaker 2: What if you was just Guffy O'Malley.
33:29
Speaker 1: So so, I'm just assumed for forty five years that
33:32
Speaker 1: my given that my first name as a baby, baby
33:36
Speaker 1: boy Guffy. I just assumed it was a placeholder, and
33:40
Speaker 1: Guffey was the surname of probably my mom.
33:44
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
33:45
Speaker 1: But you're saying, what if they actually named me baby boy?
33:50
Speaker 1: Oh god? I can never watch Dirty.
33:52
Speaker 2: Dancing again, at least not in the corner.
34:00
Speaker 1: Or is that the only place I should watch it
34:02
Speaker 1: and just just patiently wait for the ghost of Patrick
34:05
Speaker 1: Swayzee to come get me.
34:07
Speaker 2: He would never have a show in a million years.
34:09
Speaker 2: If your name was Guffy O'Malley, you would be a
34:14
Speaker 2: bandito or some like in the petty And you know
34:17
Speaker 2: who shot first, Guffie o'melly.
34:20
Speaker 1: I feel like that would be better than baby O'Malley.
34:24
Speaker 2: Baby O'Malley sounds like a gangster in the twenties. No
34:27
Speaker 2: one to get there, Oh, baby O'Malley.
34:29
Speaker 1: I'll knock off this Walmart's here, I'll find him. Yeah,
34:37
Speaker 1: so I assume the Guffy last name. I'm assuming that
34:41
Speaker 1: was my mom's last name, because what little information I
34:44
Speaker 1: have about my biological parents was that they were not married.
34:47
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming the last name I would get on
34:49
Speaker 1: that initial paperwork would be my mom's, not my dad's.
34:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure they weren't married, because he
34:55
Speaker 2: ended up doing twenty two years in Oklahoma City Jail
35:00
Speaker 2: Oklahoma Penitentiary. She was also being held housted because he
35:04
Speaker 2: wanted to give her a baby, so she ended up
35:08
Speaker 2: getting the child, and they rescued her and arrested him.
35:12
Speaker 2: She was not part of the abduction plot, and then
35:14
Speaker 2: the baby was returned to its rightful owners or parents,
35:18
Speaker 2: whatever you want.
35:20
Speaker 1: Technically, I don't know what there's I think they do.
35:23
Speaker 2: I don't know, do you do? You still have to
35:25
Speaker 2: feed them? I don't know how it works, but yeah,
35:27
Speaker 2: they were returned to the people that were in the
35:30
Speaker 2: Walmart parking lot. I don't know how it works.
35:32
Speaker 1: You know what, Raj, It's possible, It's possible. Maybe I
35:35
Speaker 1: maybe I was the baby in that episode of Forensic
35:37
Speaker 1: Files you were watching. I have no way of knowing.
35:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, well every time, you know, if you you know,
35:42
Speaker 2: if you see sirens and and hear sirens and see
35:45
Speaker 2: the red, white and blues and you kind of flinch,
35:48
Speaker 2: maybe that's because that's who saved you in Oklahoma and
35:51
Speaker 2: took you to your now parents or then parents. I
35:54
Speaker 2: don't know how it works, but yeah, that's they. It
35:57
Speaker 2: all came to a wonderful conclusion. Everybody got the maybe
36:00
Speaker 2: she got on with her life and he ended up
36:02
Speaker 2: being someone's bride in prison.
36:04
Speaker 1: It would actually be pretty fitting for me because normal
36:08
Speaker 1: kids get delivered by stork and then I got dropped
36:10
Speaker 1: off by swat.
36:14
Speaker 8: And honestly, you know, if if you were to say
36:17
Speaker 8: baby boy Guffy and you saw a man with a
36:20
Speaker 8: helmet and a big pencil, you would the name would
36:22
Speaker 8: be fitting.
36:24
Speaker 2: Unlike the helmet.

37:18
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with birthdays. He is Kickass.
37:26
Speaker 1: He's also Quicksilver in Avengers Age of Ultron. He's Aaron
37:31
Speaker 1: Taylor Johnson, thirty five years old today. He's thirty five
37:35
Speaker 1: years old today, Aaron Taylor Johnson. Let's see, he was
37:41
Speaker 1: also he was also on Bullet Train and he is
37:46
Speaker 1: also rumored to be up for the new James Bond role.
37:52
Speaker 1: Aaron Taylor Johnson started out as Kickass and could end
37:56
Speaker 1: up as the next James Bond.
37:58
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
38:00
Speaker 1: And for those that don't know, while he is thirty
38:03
Speaker 1: five today, his wife is Hollywood director Sam Taylor Wood.
38:10
Speaker 1: She is fifty eight.
38:14
Speaker 4: Yeah.
38:15
Speaker 2: Interesting.
38:16
Speaker 1: So when they got married, he was Aaron Johnson and
38:20
Speaker 1: she was Sam Wood and or something like that, and
38:23
Speaker 1: they combined like they co hyphenated their last names. So
38:27
Speaker 1: he's Aaron Taylor Johnson, she's Sam Taylor Wood. And there's
38:32
Speaker 1: also if you're on Instagram long enough, like I've been
38:35
Speaker 1: some nights, regrettably, you'll see a little suggested real and
38:38
Speaker 1: it'll be of because I follow a lot of Marvel
38:41
Speaker 1: stuff and he's been in Marvel stuff. He's also Craven
38:44
Speaker 1: the Hunter and that one that flopped recently. There's a
38:49
Speaker 1: video of him on the red carpet for one of
38:52
Speaker 1: his movie premieres. And his right side is his wife,
38:57
Speaker 1: who's fifty eight. She directed fifty s Age to Gray,
39:00
Speaker 1: by the way, and on his left is her daughter,
39:04
Speaker 1: his stepdaughter. And when you see the three of them
39:08
Speaker 1: all standing together, it doesn't look very obvious as to
39:12
Speaker 1: who the actual wife is.
39:16
Speaker 2: It's the one eating soup.
39:23
Speaker 1: You want some more soup, mama?
39:25
Speaker 2: Okay?
39:27
Speaker 1: Anyway, other birthdays today we were talking about the best
39:30
Speaker 1: dads of all time. Danny Tanner from Full House was
39:33
Speaker 1: on the list. Today is Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's birthdays.
39:37
Speaker 1: They are thirty nine today, the twins from Full House
39:40
Speaker 1: thirty nine.
39:41
Speaker 2: No, that's also how much they weigh. That's also how
39:44
Speaker 2: much they weigh individually, nine pounds.
39:48
Speaker 1: That is actually a good question to ask. I wonder
39:50
Speaker 1: what weighs more Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, or the
39:53
Speaker 1: carton of cigarettes they each smoke a day.
40:00
Speaker 4: Or how their sister ended up having a better career.
40:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of Marvel people.
40:05
Speaker 8: Uh, but god, that makes I mean I remember the
40:09
Speaker 8: Olsen countdown clock to eighteen.
40:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, God's just god, that was a long time ago. Yeah, man,
40:19
Speaker 1: were we were something back then? Yeah, and so were they.
40:24
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which one, Mary Kate or Ashley, but
40:28
Speaker 1: one of them got married to some French guy years ago.
40:32
Speaker 1: And when you go to weddings, sometimes as a guest
40:37

Speaker 1: who plays Eric Selvig in the Thor and Avengers movies.
41:54
Speaker 1: And by the way, just for a little quick, you
41:56
Speaker 1: know thing, because we'll occasionally talk about Star Wars on

Speaker 1: of the rebellion in Star Wars on the show. And
42:07
Speaker 1: or he is so good. The show is really good.
42:13
Speaker 1: It's it's it's you know, it's very character driven heavy,
42:17
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it doesn't really have any lightsabers,
42:21
Speaker 1: but it's just a really quality show. And he is
42:23
Speaker 1: phenomenal in it.
42:25
Speaker 2: Has he related to the other stars Guard the other two?

42:32
Speaker 1: know if he's daddy or if he's uncle, or if
42:36
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, if it's actually just coincidence, and
42:38
Speaker 1: maybe where they're from. Scars Guard is like Smith in America,
42:43

46:19
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's let's let's revisit our best TV Dads
46:22
Speaker 1: of All Time? H Is there a name that we
46:27
Speaker 1: didn't mention? Was there name that was glaringly omitted from
46:31
Speaker 1: the Best TV Dads of All Time? List?
46:33
Speaker 2: Yes? And I'm appalled at this list that Jim Walsh
46:39
Speaker 2: James Eckhouse was not from nine oh two one oh
46:41
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills nine o two one oh was not on
46:44
Speaker 2: the list.
46:44
Speaker 9: He shouldn't be.
46:45
Speaker 1: Do you see all the problems his kid has or
46:48
Speaker 1: his kids had? Was it one of his daughters played
46:51
Speaker 1: by Shannon Doherty immediately exclusion from the Best Dad's list?
46:55
Speaker 2: No? No, I mean he saved her so many times.
46:58
Speaker 2: And Brandon when he had his gambling problem and his
47:00
Speaker 2: drinking problem. Jim was there.
47:03
Speaker 1: I think you should have been there more. Maybe he
47:05
Speaker 1: would have been able to have the children avoid these problems.
47:08
Speaker 2: You wanted to give them their independence. He's a loving father.
47:13
Speaker 4: Was Alan Thick on there for growing Pains?
47:16
Speaker 2: Yes he was okay, but not John Schneider Jonathan Kent
47:20
Speaker 2: from Smallville?
47:21
Speaker 1: No? Really, he had to raise Superman. Yeah he did
47:24
Speaker 1: not Ultimate Dad. Well, not only that, but it was
47:27
Speaker 1: teenage Superman and you know those I mean, it's I mean,
47:30
Speaker 1: you think about it, that show had some amazing potential
47:33
Speaker 1: for other storylines because they just focused on high school Superman,
47:37
Speaker 1: when really it could have been a combination of Superman
47:40
Speaker 1: meets the Wonder Years, and you could have had some
47:43
Speaker 1: really interesting questions asked that we've all wondered about, like
47:46
Speaker 1: what's it like to hook up with Superman? Because I
47:49
Speaker 1: think the conversation's always had where it's like what happens
47:52
Speaker 1: when he goes? Oh, like what happens to her? Does
47:54
Speaker 1: does she go? And then you know, does she go?
47:59
Speaker 2: I think they cover it when they say he's faster
48:01
Speaker 2: than a speeding bullet.
48:06
Speaker 1: That answers all the questions right there. For all things Treehouse,
