No Otter Show Does This | Wednesday 09.18.26 · The Treehouse Show Podcast

• 0:25
  Speaker 1: It is time to believe your warriors outside and join
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: me Daniel Malley and trade Trendholm inside the Treehouse. We
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: are without Raja in today, still figuring out New York City.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Wi FI seems to be very vexing, extremely well. Once again,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we forage ahead because the Treehouse doesn't really stop or
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: slow down for most people. So we will power through
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: as we do in the face of adversity. And I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: don't Trey. Are you familiar with the Nobel Prizes.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Generally? Yeah?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, the did you know that the guy that started
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the Nobel Prizes is of Scandinavian dissent?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I knew the awards are in Norway, I think so,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I assume so, yes.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I learned that recently by going to the Nordic
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Museum here in Ballard, Washington. It's a little suburb or
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: slash town of Seattle that we've been staying in for
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the past six weeks, and before we leave here, I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that we went to this Nordic
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: museum because there's all sorts of Nordic stuff in this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: area and I was wondering why. It turns out it's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: just mass immigration at the turn of the twentieth century.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And you know, I'll just go ahead and say this now,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: because in Raja's absence of nothing is wider than a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Nordic museum.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: It's true. I looked not a single Norwegian of color
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that I saw in that museum, and honestly, I don't.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I don't by choice, I would not want to live
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in Scandinavia. But apparently the climates in Scandinavia and the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest are very similar, okay, or at least similar
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: enough so that at the turn of the century, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: by the turn of the centuries, I mean the nineteenth
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to the twentieth century, Norwegians, Finns, Denmarkians, they all came
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to the Pacific Northwest. They started at around the same
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: time that the Irish did the potato fam and had
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just had a similar effect on Scandinavia. So and there
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was also, you know, the idea of land and farming
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in the New World in America, so that brought a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: lot of people here, and a lot of the people
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: from the Scandinavian countries settled in the Seattle area because
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: very similar climate and terrain. It looked very similar at
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: this Nordic museum, they were showing video of Norway and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it looks very similar to parts of Seattle, which is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: kind of cool. The only reason I bring all this
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: up is because I went to museum. I want to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: brag about it because it had been for ever since
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I've been to one, and also because of the Nobel Prizes,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: because Trey, you're correct. Alfred Nobel was a man who
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: started the Nobel Prizes, and with his immense wealth, he
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: funded the Nobel Prizes. He was an inventor, entrepreneur, scientist,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and businessman who also wrote poetry and drama. His varied
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: interests are reflected in the prize he established, in which
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: he laid the foundation for in eighteen ninety five, when
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: he wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to the establishment of the prize. Pretty cool, right. He
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: was born October twenty first, eighteen thirty three. He died
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: December tenth, eighteen ninety six. He left thirty one million
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Swedish kronor to fund the prizes, So there you go.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Did because I know there's a number of Nobel Prizes
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: from science to peace to arts, medicine. Yeah, did he
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: establish all those or of those since been where there
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: was established after.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I have not read that far down on the Wikipedia
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: profile trade.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So I can find out for you. He specified that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the bulk of his fortune should be divided into five
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: parts and be used for prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: or medicine, literature, and peace, to quote those who during
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the preceding year shall have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: My god, people could write back in those days. So
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to answer your question, Trey, the original Nobel Prizes were
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for physics, chemistry, physiology, or medicine, literature, and peace.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So you did establish them all.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yep, very cool, pretty cool. That's not treehouse style, though
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you know it is tree house style. Have you heard
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of the ig Nobel Prizes?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I have not.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That really warms my heart. The ig Nobel Prizes are
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: very different than the traditional Nobel Prizes because the IG
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Nobel Prizes are for the weirdest and dumbest insight that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: science has offered in twenty twenty four. All right, I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: don't know if this has any affiliation to Alfred Nobel.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I would assume based on his will, probably not. But
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you know what, for all the smart, crazy genius advancements
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we have and all those categories that we just mentioned,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: there's also the other end of the spectrum, and that's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: where the ig Nobel Prizes make their money. So this year,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, the ig Nobel Prize winners have been announced.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: This year's winners include Number one, researchers found many mammal
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Researchers found many mammals are capable of breathing through their butts.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: One study showed doctors might be able to treat things
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like COVID using a special mixture of oxygenated liquid. So
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: there's one. You can breathe through your button. You didn't
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: know it. Number two a team in Amsterdam did three
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand flips and found it's not really
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty coins are slightly more likely to land
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: on the same side they started on. See can you
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: hear Alfred Nobel rolling over in his grave repeatedly.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: That and uh sounds like something City of Dallas would fund.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Oh god, it does. Let's see if City of Dallas
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: makes an appearance here in the Ignobel Prizes. Number three,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this year's Peace Prize went to a study that looked
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: at whether you could put pigeons inside missiles to help
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: guide them.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: No.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Look, it's bad enough if you get taken out by
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a missile, right because you know it's it's not the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: glorious end that you might be hoping for in battle,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: but especially not one that's by a pigeon guided warhead.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Because satellites weren't good enough.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: They well, what if the satellites go down? You need
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: something to depend on, like a good old fashioned homing pigeon.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: That sounds like something the Onion would would put up.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Also, if the ig Nobel Prizes did an award for journalism,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the Onion would win every year. Yeah. Number four. The
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Botany ig Nobel Prize went to a study that found
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: some plants will imitate the shapes of fake plastic plants
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: if you put them next to each other. That's actually
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting. I don't think that as a botanist
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: or a scientist in general, that would be the focus
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: of my career's work, but I guess if it was
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a side hustle maybe. The Anatomy Prize went to a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: study that looked at the direction your hair swirls in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and whether it's affected by the hemisphere you're born in.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Basically sort of like the myth that toilets flush in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: opposite in opposite directions.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And what was the conclusion of that study.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't read that far, but see
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you're curious. Yeah, and as someone that's got a little
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I call it a little hurricane swirl right here. I'm
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a chest I got a little chest hair. Looks like
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a little hurricane right there. I wonder how did I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: get that? Where is that from? I don't know. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't born in the Southern hemisphere, so I don't know
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: if it's going the proper direction or if it's the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: correct direction. I don't know.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And I guess that's something to do with the adoption
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: facility and whatever experiments they did on you.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably tossed me in the ocean to see if
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: it float, which is pretty hard to do considering how
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it was born in Oklahoma, so that took some real effort.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Number six, the ig Nobel Prize for Medicine went to
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a study that found Placebo's work better if they cause
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a few painful side effects. I love the Ignobel Prizes.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I had forgotten about these for a couple of years.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to have them back inside the house.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had never heard of these. This is fantastic,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: so it's about to get better, Okay.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: The Chemistry prize went to a study that used a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: process called chromatography to make drunken sober worms race each other.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: The prize for demographics went to a study that found
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: places where people supposedly live the longest tend to have
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: poor record keeping when it comes to when people were born.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: The Biology prize went to an old study from nineteen
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: forty one where researchers popped brown paper bags while a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: cat stood on a cow's back. Why they were trying
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to see if they could scare cows into producing more milk.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know why they needed a cat for that,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: but that's what they did, and finally finding out. The
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: ig Nobel Prizes for twenty twenty four these are the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: weirdest and dumbest things that science has done over the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: previous year. The Physics Prize went to a study that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: looked at the swimming abilities of dead trout. Didn't seem
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: like a hypothesis that would seem too difficult to prove.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: It does, but I'm still stuck on how do you
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: get a worm drunk? And then how do you know
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: that they're drunk.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean breathalyzer right or a or a sobriety test.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: They wiggle in a and they if they yeah, if
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: they don't wiggle in a straight line, then clearly they're drunk.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And what do you dausaman.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Beer see that this is these are these?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Are there? These are the.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Oh that's really important because they may have a higher
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: tolerance absolutely than like an earthworm variables.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: You're listening to the Treehouse, visit us online that Treehouse
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: on air dot com.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get you into a new vehicle. If
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you're nearing the end of your current lease, or you're
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you know you've been trying to buy a car, you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: need to get a hold of our friends at fair Leaves.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: They can save you time and they can save you
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: money in the process. So if you're coming here the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: end of your current lease, fair Leaves can help you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: with the transition into a new one. So if you
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: are leasing, you know that you can save a good
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: amount of money when you lease. And when you leased
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: from fair Lease, you get some outstanding customer service. Some
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of the great staff there at Fairlea's, including a Treehouse
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: listener Leo Heleo can take great care of you. And
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: if you've leased in the past, were you able to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: do it completely remotely where you didn't go to a
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: dealership to do it. You can do that with fair Lease,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: which will save you a ton of time. Go to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Fairleas dot org. You can correspond with Leo or one
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of the other fine fine fine leasing consultants at Fairleas
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: via email, or you can talk on the phone whatever,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and they'll do what works for you and you never
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: have to go to the dealership, never have to even
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: go to the office. They'll do everything remotely and they'll
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: bring stuff to you, saving you a ton of time,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: which is massive these days. Time is very valuable to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: all of us. Fairleast knows that, so they want to
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: make sure they work around your schedule and work works
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: best for you. And then of course saving a bunch
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of money when you're getting a new vehicle. Leasing is
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: more cost effective than buying a vehicle because when you lease,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you're only leasing the portion of the vehicle for when
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: you have it, whereas when you're buying it, you're buying
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the whole thing the whole time, and unless you're driving
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: that vehicle into the dirt. Then leasing is the right
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: option for you again not only for saving time but
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: also for saving money. And you might even be able
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of no money down and no payments
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: for ninety days when you get ahold of our friends
• 14:18

• 16:10
  Speaker 1: really fun inside the Treehouse or a couple of animal
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: related stories, and there's always always fun to be had
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: when animals are involved inside the Treehouse. And I'm also
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a really big fan of a bait and switch or
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: a head fake or a fake out or a psych
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: type of a thing, and especially when it comes to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: news stories like this one, the headline is just beautiful
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: on its own. An Indiana medical call turned into a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: monkey rescue. I mean, I mean, is there is there
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a better treos headline than that? So in Indiana, emergency
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: responders experience a first when a medical call ended with
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: firefighters rescuing a monkey that got and scale the building.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: The Loose fire Territory set in a Facebook post that
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: firefighters responded alongside Spencer County, Spencer County EMS, and the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Spencer County Sheriff's Office to a call for medical assistance
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and then we're confronted with a first for all three departments.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: The post said, Responders tending to the patient learned their
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: monkey had gotten loose and scaled the building and could
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: not get down on its own. So it's not that
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: there wasn't a medical issue at all and it was
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: like a monkey, you know, prank calling nine to one one.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: That was not the case. There was apparently an actual
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: medical issue and when they got there, they're tending to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the patient and realized, oh my god, their helper monkey
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is running around on the roof and tray. Did you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: notice in their Facebook post that the monkeys were in
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a diaper.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think I saw that.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll be happy to show that to you. In
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: their Facebook post, they said that they showed up trying
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to render aid to the medical emergency and learned that
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the patient's munkey had gotten loose. Firefighters weren't able to
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: safely bring the monkey down and was cared for by
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: deputies while EMS tended to its owner. All in that suite,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and you said, I think, as you said yesterday that
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you watched Friends, so you know what Marcel the monkey
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: looked like when Ross had Marcel. Right, this is like
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a Marcel type monkey running around on the roof of
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: this building. And it's even if you look closely, you
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: can even see it's a little diaper here. Hang on,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: didn't it bother?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Him monkey?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Hey, Bob.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: You know firefighters, first responders, police EMS all. God bless
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the work that you guys do. And and you're play
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: by play when rescuing people and their helper monkeys high monkey.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: So yeah, in that in that video you could see
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the monkey on the on the roof of the building.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: It's got its little diaper on and it's probably really
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: worried about its owner. Who's going through medical emergency, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: it's also got its leash on, so it got away.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Because I'm guessing what happened is that whatever medical issue,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the owner had let go of the leash and the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: monkey's like, well, I got to go to high ground.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the monkey went up and had never
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: had in practice coming back down.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Although I'm very glad to know that when it got
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: up there, it's not like it was throwing its poop
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: at the you know, firefighters or the deputies when they
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: showed up, because it still had its diaper on. So yeah,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: it looked first responder worker is hard enough. You don't
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: need monkeys throwing their you know, their crap at you.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: What does it take to get a helper monkey? That's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: it's a great question. I went to a Seattle Mariners
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: game the other day. My old apprentice, like some sort
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: of Sith lord or Jedi, Tye. Tye was kind of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: attached to the show for a little while. He was
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: doing a school project and so we had him, you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: on the show for a while, and he since moved
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: up to Seattle, and Tara and I met up with
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: him and his boyfriend at a Seattle Mariners game against
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the Rangers, which, by the way, the Rangers won one
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of the few, say, one of the few games they
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: won this year. They weren't terrible, terrible, but they were bad,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: but they won that game. But he told me that
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the Mariners left fielder has a monkey, so he's playing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Not while he was playing, it wasn't. Speaking of friends,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: it wasn't the the Baseball Classic starring Matt LeBlanc ed,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't it the chimpanzee playing third base or
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: something in that movie? I think, so, man, you really
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: think you on Friends and you don't have to take
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the first movie role that comes along, Matt LeBlanc, don't
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: don't go straight to the monkey movies, as tempting as
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: they might be. I hope he got paid more than
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the Monkey did.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, it made enough off Friends. That doesn't matter.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. But I'm sure he looks back on
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: his career and thinks, man, I shouldn't have made that one.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: But very happy to know that the monkey is okay.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I think the the owner that was undergoing the medical
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: emergency is also okay.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: So it's a happy story.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It's a that is a happy story. And speaking of
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: happy stories and animals, there's another one inside the treehouse
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that we need to cover, and that is Splash. Splash
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: is an Arizona otter being trained to sniff out evidence
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and victims underwater, and he's already helping to solve crimes.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Did not know that otters are believed to be the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: only mammals that can detect sense underwater, and because of that,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Arizona police help are training the otter to help them
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: in their duties. Now we know that dogs are often
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: used to help in search and rescue missions. Their noses
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: can pick up a human scent from as far away
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: as a half mile, sometimes even more, And one Arizona
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: otter is now being trained to sniff out evidence and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: victims in underwater settings. How is it possible Otters are
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: believed to be the only mammals that can smell underwater.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Not only is it possible, but it's working. Splash is
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: an otter born in Arizona that was recently donated to
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Peace River Search and Rescue in Florida. He's still being trained,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: but he's already helping solve crimes while at an active scene. Recently,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: they put Splash in the water to hell. He sniffed
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: out the scent and went down to it through a marker,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and the diver went in and there it was. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: actually don't know what there it was is, but they
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: actually said, here we have If a body gets into
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a canal or a river and an alligator gets in
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: them before we do, it's a reality of Florida. The
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: gator will take the remains and stuff that's somewhere. It
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: makes it very difficult to find. The dogs get us
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: into the area, but they can't get us from the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: boat to the bottom. That's according to Mike Hadsel, a
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: veteran search and rescue diver and president of Peace River
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Search and Rescue. He said, the otters get us from
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the boat to the bottom to show us exactly where
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the remains are located. So that's what they found. The
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: otter can up and find the remains that Florida gators
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: hide to save for later, which is both terrifying and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: disgusting and well a reality of living in Florida.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I've it's cool. I mean, I can't teaching my dog
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: to sit.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: But I think that's your fault, daisies. Oh yeah, absolutely,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: that just shows a lack of commitment on your part.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: But I think I think this is fantastic. I love
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the idea of a police order. His name is Splash,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: an Arizona otter being trained to sniff out evidence and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: victims underwater and is already helping to solve crimes. Look,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I know we already have a number of you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: police dramas on TV, including a ton from Dick Wolf,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: but I think I would watch Knew this fall on
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: NBC Law and Otter.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Mhm hm get it?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got it, Law and Otter.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna take you to be proud of yourself for
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: You're in the tree House. Visit us online at Treehouse
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: on air dot com.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: You're listening to the Treehouse Visit us online at Treehouse
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: on air dot com.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: That's what happens when Raj can't figure out his Hotel
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Wi Fi. He misses out on all the new shows
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: this fall on NBC. Aw and Yeah, I'd like to
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: point out something real quick before we get into another
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: animal story that actually has a local flare to it.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So we have a Florida rescue otter, and before that
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: we talked about the monkey rescue. Right, So there's they're
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: right there. We have two new shows that would be
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: possible to be on TV this fall. We have Law
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and Otter and part of the nine one one franchise.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Why not Monkey Rescue nine one one? I know, I know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: lone Star nine one one. It's in its last season
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: because I think they've demolished all of hill Country that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: they possibly can in like four seasons. I would watch
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Monkey Rescue nine to one one well before the Baywatch ripoff,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the high surf show that's being pushed on TV on
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Fox so much during all the NFL games. Uh, you
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: know what, give me, give me a Monkey Rescue nine
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: one one.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Think about the crossover, Oh.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: My god, monkey Monkey high Surf.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Well, no Law and Otter, it's Monkey Rescue, so.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: It could be law Law and our Law. And it's
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: tough to say the crossover that no one asked for.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Law and Order, Monkey VU or s VM Special Victims
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and Monkeys.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Our s m us my Special Monkey Unit.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: R TCU listeners are loving that one.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I I hope SNL takes this inspiration that we have
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: offered and takes the story about the Otter and does
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: one of their skits Lawn Otter. That's my hope. That's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: our gift to them for this weekend. The gift to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: us in North Texas is from the Fort Worth Zoo.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Did you see this trade the Fort Worth Zoo. This
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: debuted their new baby giraffe.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Oh baby giraffes so cute on Twitter x ex Twitter,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell it's called this week before it's repolled
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: by the banks from the Fort Worth Zoo. Surprise, another
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: new baby giraffe has joined the herd. Meet the little
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: guy our keepers are affectionately calling Finnegan. The male calf
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: was born on the morning of August eighteenth, standing five
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: foot nine weighing one hundred and fifty eight pounds at birth.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: How about that the little baby giraffe gets born and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: it's already taller than I am. Here you want to
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: see it come out? Make it so debut. Here we go.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Here's Finnagan. Oh adorable baby giraffe five foot nine next
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to mama, so sweet, playing running around. Get used to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: its new long legs. Thin again now at the Fort
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Worth Zoo. I'm gonna say this, and I mean this
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: when I say it. I hope it doesn't break its neck.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh. Having the last the last calf at Dallas.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: You do, now, have you ever seen a draft being born?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I have not. I'm going to assume that it looks
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: similar to a cow being born, because Trey, you and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I have witnessed that as children, we saw calves being born.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's going to look like that, but a
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: little ganglier.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Well, but also it so the mom doesn't get on
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: the ground. It just it's a drop.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's just splash there you go. Couldn't
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: do like a like crawl into the pond and do
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a water birth or something something a little gentler as
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: opposed to thud. It's so surprised they don't name the
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: draft Thud. But you're right. That is one of the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: first thoughts I had when and when I saw that
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Fortward Zoo's unveiling its new baby giraffe named Finnegan. I
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: hope that they don't soon have Finnegan's wake because the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: baby runs headfirst into a wall. Because that's some what
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I think of what happened in Dallas a handful of
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: years ago. They had a baby giraffe and the poor
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: thing died because it ran into a wall and broke
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: its neck yep, And I don't know if that was
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: because it didn't know any better, maybe because it wasn't
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: all there when it was born, because it maybe it
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: landed the head first when being born, or perhaps it
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: was trying to make a great escape to Fort Worth
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: saying I hear it's much better there, and it tried
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to escape the Dallas Zoo and it just failed.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: It heard the legend of the gorilla and wanted to
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: give it a shot.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Me too. Yeah. See, that's difference is gorillas are made
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: for jumping drafts or not.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: But that.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: If I had to ask you, if I was to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: ask you, there was another zoo in the cuntree where
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: a draft, a baby draft, poor baby draft unfortunately died
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: by breaking its neck. Where do you think that zoo
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: would be for Laurel the States? Yeah, that's exactly what.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: So congratulations Dallas. You're now on par with Florida, counting
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: trees for millions of dollars, spending hundreds of thousands of
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: dollars to find out how a gorilla got loose in
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: two thousand and four. Shocker, it ran and jumped. Can't
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: get the skyline right on your pamphlets and your baby
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: drafts commit suicide. Florida is looking down at you. Let
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: that sink in. When was the last time you went
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to the zoo?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: It's been ages. I keep meaning to go. It seems
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: like a fun thing to do on an afternoon, and
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I I just always forget about it. How about you?
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I think the last time I went to a zoo
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: was when I bannered it when I worked at Caveil
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: back in the early two thousands. The Dallas Zoo when
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it was closed the day before like Dollar Day.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: My buddy Brian and I went out. We were doing
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: promotions at KVL. We took a big roll of banners,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: went to the Dallas Zoo while it was closed. They
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: led us in a couple of twenty one year old
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: guys into the zoo after hours to banner it for
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the radio station. Guess where there weren't any banners.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: At the zoo. No, there were.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: We bannered all the good spots, but you know the
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: little tunnel that goes where the spiders and snakes are
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: not a single banner in there. Nope, it didn't happen
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: because it was too dark. It was at night and
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: we're not going in that dark tunnel at night. No way,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: no how ain't gonna happen. No banners in there.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: It's the city of Dallas. You don't know what gate
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: got left open.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: And the scary thing about that is you don't know
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: not only what got out, you also don't know what
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: came in.
• 33:11

  Speaker 1: Treehouse on Air. At Treehouse on Air, I'm going to
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: get the animals a break here in the treehouse because
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: we've written them pretty hard today. One of the scariest
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: things to me about Halloween season is the candy. Not
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: because I don't have willpower or anything like that. It's
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: because certain types of candy come out this time of
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: year that I absolutely hate, and I specifically mean candy corn.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Candy corn is the devil. I am more afraid of
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: candy corn than any other candy that I can think of,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and that includes candy with razor blades. I would rather eat.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I would rather take the chance of eating a bowl
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: full of bite sized Snickers bars where one might have
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a razor blade in it, than any candy corn.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Is there a reason that you have such a malice
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: towards a candy corn?
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's disgusting, Okay, I hate it. It's just yeah,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: it's a sugary there's a I don't know what it is.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a corn taste afterwards, because look,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I've obviously sugar things. We as people, we like the
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: sweet stuff, but there's something about the candy corn. It's
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: like the aftertaste in it. It's just I just hate it. So, yeah,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of candy corn. So when
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I saw this story, I was truly terrified. And that
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: is Brocks, you know, the candy company. H They're giving
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: people the opportunity to book an elaborate candy corn themed
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: hotel suite this fall. If you stay at one of them,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: you'll also get a year's supply of candy corn. And
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: if you listen real closely, you can hear my wife
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: screaming with joy because one of the biggest ways that
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Tara and I are different, it's her love and my
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: hate for candy corn. Yet our marriage has sustained despite that.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, So in either Pennsylvania or Illinois, Brox is
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: giving people the opportunity to stay in an elaborate candy
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: corn themed hotel suite. The rooms are exclusively offered at
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: two Great Wolf Lodge locations, one in the Pocono Mountains
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania and one in Gurney, Illinois. You can book
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: your stay now, but only while there's availability. Between September
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: twenty second, which is the first day of fall, and Halloween.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: The rooms are being offered on a first come, first
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: served basis. They sleep five to six guests and the
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: rates start at three hundred and forty nine night Blood.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: The seat is the sweetest, decked out top to bottom
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: in orange, yellow, and white, along with actual candy corn designs,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and yeah, you do get candy corn with it. In fact,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: every booking comes with a one year supply of candy corn,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: which is an eleven ounce bag that will be shipped
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: to your house once a week for fifty two weeks.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: That sounds disgusting. That is a hotel room I will
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: never stay in.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: What's your besides what's your nightmare hotel room filled with?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Besides candy corn? Yeah, that's a really good question. I
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: think my nightmare hotel room would be full of anything
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that Indiana Jones has been in a room of. In
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Raiders of the Lost Dark, it was the room full
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: of snakes. I there's like, I'm not necessarily typically I'm
• 37:59
