Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, news came out that radioactive
1:17
Speaker 1: wasps had been found at a Cold War era nuclear
1:20
Speaker 1: site in South Carolina, And now Peter cottontail might be
1:26
Speaker 1: turning into Peter's spike face. Rabbits with horrifying spikes growing

Speaker 1: from their heads are invading the United States.
1:40
Speaker 3: That's right, say that again.

1:56
Speaker 3: Heads up, Doc, I'm gonna stay away from the rhino rabbit.
2:04
Speaker 1: A rapidly spreading virus is causing cottontail rabbits to grow
2:08
Speaker 1: black tentacle like growths out of their heads, warnings to
2:13
Speaker 1: steer clear of the mutated animals. Oh good, bunny mutants.
2:18
Speaker 2: You started with spikes. Now it's tentacles. That's an entirely
2:21
Speaker 2: different thing.
2:22
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like this is all a fluid situation,
2:28
Speaker 1: and people are throwing around different descriptions and different adjectives
2:32
Speaker 1: to describe this virus that's affecting cottontail rabbits, and at
2:38
Speaker 1: the end of the days, it's bad.
2:42
Speaker 2: Spikes scurrying out is scary, but tentacles are gd terrifying.
2:50
Speaker 1: They're also calling them Francin' bunnies. Yeah, yeah, Franken bunnies
2:56
Speaker 1: have been spotted multiple times in Fort Collins, Colorado, oh
3:01
Speaker 1: One resident told the News she saw a rabbit with
3:04
Speaker 1: what looked like black quills or black toothpicks sticking out
3:08
Speaker 1: all around his or her mouth.
3:12
Speaker 4: Yeah. Do you know how good the weed in Colorado is?
3:18
Speaker 4: That's what's happening.
3:20
Speaker 1: Probably pretty good. However, I'm gonna show you a photo
3:24
Speaker 1: of one of these uh fike headed rabbits, and you
3:29
Speaker 1: tell me if this is someone that had too good
3:32
Speaker 1: of a gummy.
3:37
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that is uh okay, that's gonna be a
3:40
Speaker 2: no for me dog.
3:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be. Yeah. You run away from that,
3:45
Speaker 3: that's for sure.
3:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's uh that's one do not pet, no
3:52
Speaker 1: longer friend shaped.
3:56
Speaker 3: That rabbit doesn't eat lettuce.
4:00
Speaker 1: That rabbit eats ass.
4:07
Speaker 4: That's where that virus came from. Yeah, that's the You
4:15
Speaker 4: don't want to die by that. And if you did
4:20
Speaker 4: the obituary, you don't want any mention of it.
4:25
Speaker 1: This lady in Colorado said she thought he would die
4:28
Speaker 1: off during the winter, but he didn't. She said he
4:30
Speaker 1: came back a second year and it had grown. One
4:34
Speaker 1: person described the infected critter as having a scabby ish
4:38
Speaker 1: looking growth over its face. The so called bunny blight
4:42
Speaker 1: is actually a disease called cottontail papaloma virus CrPV, also
4:48
Speaker 1: known as shop papaloma virus, which causes cottontail bunnies to
4:52
Speaker 1: sprout tumors around their head. It's spread by parasites like
4:57
Speaker 1: ticks and fleas, which pass on the ailment through the bites.
5:02
Speaker 1: So just imagine if human papilloma virus looked like this,
5:07
Speaker 1: then we'd all know who had it and we would
5:13
Speaker 1: know not to pet or.
5:15
Speaker 4: They're just gonna be the lead singer of primus.
5:19
Speaker 1: What they all look like?
5:20
Speaker 4: Uh gar, Yeah, that's frightening.
5:26
Speaker 1: Wow, constant tail.
5:30
Speaker 3: It's from flee and texts as always said.
5:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they say. Typically rabbits become infected in the
5:35
Speaker 1: warmer months of summer, when transmitted by being bitten by
5:38
Speaker 1: insects like fleas and ticks. That's according to Colorado Parks
5:42
Speaker 1: and Wildlife spokesperson Caravan, who's she says, well, the recent
5:48
Speaker 1: sightings occurred in Colorado. The disease is most frequently rears
5:52
Speaker 1: its horny head in the Midwest. In twenty thirteen, of
5:56
Speaker 1: Minnesota resident caused a stir after posting a video of
5:59
Speaker 1: a tendril ritten rabbit in his backyard, which he dubbed
6:02
Speaker 1: the Frankenstein bunny and compared it to the mythical jackalope,
6:06
Speaker 1: a hoax that was promulgated by jokesters sewing antlers on
6:09
Speaker 1: the taxidermy rabbits. In light of the rampant CrPV sightings.
6:15
Speaker 1: Wildlife experts have worn people not to approach or handle
6:18
Speaker 1: any of the affected critters. Yeah. While the virus can
6:23
Speaker 1: spread between rabbits, it is not known to infect humans
6:27
Speaker 1: or pets, and is therefore not considered a threat.
6:30
Speaker 3: To public health. Okay yet yet?
6:36
Speaker 1: Yeah?
6:36
Speaker 3: Good?
6:37
Speaker 4: Okay, because I've reared my horny head in the Midwest
6:39
Speaker 4: as well.
6:44
Speaker 1: With similar alarmist consequences.

7:58
Speaker 1: Noticeably missing today is our very own Trey Trendholm, who
8:03
Speaker 1: last night as far as I know went to the
8:06
Speaker 1: thirty five plus dating event on the Daity Trail, even
8:10
Speaker 1: though it was on Greenville in Dallas. Anyway, as far
8:14
Speaker 1: as I know, Trey went to the dating event last night,
8:17
Speaker 1: and since he's not here today, I can only assume
8:20
Speaker 1: things went really really well I told you, or really
8:24
Speaker 1: really bad. I don't know. The good news is we
8:27
Speaker 1: get to live in suspense until he shows his face.
8:31
Speaker 1: Hopefully it is not ridden with papolloma virus tumors like
8:35
Speaker 1: those poor bunnies in the Midwest.
8:37
Speaker 3: It would be great if it was, though.
8:39
Speaker 1: I hope he does. At least we wouldn't have to
8:43
Speaker 1: ask him what happened.
8:46
Speaker 4: Comes back on the air with mouth sores like so
8:49
Speaker 4: it is a successful night.
8:51
Speaker 1: I guess you got in the wrong ass anyway, in
9:02
Speaker 1: case you didn't realize it based on all your friends'
9:04
Speaker 1: activity on social media. It's back to school season. Whether
9:09
Speaker 1: kids have gone back already this week, or they're going
9:11
Speaker 1: back next week, or some other combination of the two.
9:16
Speaker 1: It's so many school districts now start at different times.
9:20
Speaker 1: I think that this week was pretty much the most
9:24
Speaker 1: common week for kids to go back to school, followed
9:28
Speaker 1: by probably next week as the next most popular, at
9:32
Speaker 1: least as far as Texas is concerned. Yeah, but back
9:36
Speaker 1: to school seasons always kind of fascinating, and someone decided
9:39
Speaker 1: to do a survey. In a poll, someone decided to
9:42
Speaker 1: ask more than one thousand adults how they usually felt
9:46
Speaker 1: about going back to school when they were kids. Thirty
9:50
Speaker 1: five percent said they were generally happy about it, including
9:54
Speaker 1: fourteen percent who were very happy.
9:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, on that fourteen percent, I loved going to school.
10:04
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, did you love going to
10:06
Speaker 1: school in general or did you just love the first
10:09
Speaker 1: day of school.
10:11
Speaker 3: I loved all of school.
10:12
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because I really enjoyed the first day of school.
10:18
Speaker 1: I even enjoyed some of the preparations of going back
10:20
Speaker 1: to school. While keeping in mind I thoroughly loved my
10:22
Speaker 1: summer vacations. And I I did summer vacations right, you know,
10:28
Speaker 1: I did all the things. I stayed outside all day,
10:30
Speaker 1: only came inside when needed for food.
10:34
Speaker 4: Uh.
10:34
Speaker 1: Water was typically garden hose water, like a proud genexer should.
10:40
Speaker 1: And at the end of a day, maybe sit on
10:41
Speaker 1: the front porch with a cold icy bee cream soda
10:45
Speaker 1: root beer, pretending it was a beer. Again, like a good,
10:48
Speaker 1: proud gen xer. Yeah, and think about my accomplishments throughout
10:52
Speaker 1: that hot summer day. Now spital that I still enjoyed
10:56
Speaker 1: the back to school traditions. I actually kind of liked
10:59
Speaker 1: going back to school shopping, got some new clothes, got
11:03
Speaker 1: new supplies because the first day of school was the
11:07
Speaker 1: most organized day of school. I would have the entire
11:10
Speaker 1: year like the day before, A day or two before,
11:13
Speaker 1: I'd get all my new supplies put together. I'd color
11:16
Speaker 1: coordinate all my folders by subject and the binder. Maybe
11:20
Speaker 1: a new backpack, pencil bag or something maybe, which of
11:25
Speaker 1: course didn't fit in my trapper keeper because I had
11:27
Speaker 1: the big pencil.
11:29
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, you only need one of those
11:32
Speaker 4: for the entire year.
11:34
Speaker 1: It was more like a thing strapped to my back,
11:36
Speaker 1: like a samurai thord. But yeah, no, that really was
11:39
Speaker 1: like the most organized I would be all year was
11:41
Speaker 1: that first day of school, and I liked the excitement
11:43
Speaker 1: of going back seeing friends and stuff. Every day after
11:46
Speaker 1: the first day of schools I got school sucks.
11:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, see, I don't get like I've heard a lot
11:52
Speaker 4: of people say that, Like I always besides a man.
11:55
Speaker 3: It was horribly bullied, but I feel you loved going
12:00
Speaker 3: back to school.
12:01
Speaker 4: I loved school just in general, like I I had fun.
12:05
Speaker 1: It was nice.
12:06
Speaker 3: It's educational, you're learning. I think I thought that. But
12:11
Speaker 3: the first day Jitters was kind of cool.
12:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're getting you clothes ready, like you were saying,
12:16
Speaker 4: and yeah, and then you go back and you hope
12:18
Speaker 4: your duds look good.
12:21
Speaker 2: I I enjoyed the clothes shopping. I actually enjoyed getting
12:25
Speaker 2: school supplies. I always thought they were cool. That first
12:28
Speaker 2: day going back, Hey, everybody, how was your summer vacation?
12:31
Speaker 1: That's great?
12:31
Speaker 2: And then from day two forward it was like I
12:35
Speaker 2: got better things I could be doing.
12:37
Speaker 3: And I heard I heard they brought back the trapper Keeper.
12:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, yes.
12:43
Speaker 3: It is back now.
12:44
Speaker 4: It's it's it's made a resurgence with this new generation,
12:47
Speaker 4: like because they like all the vintage stuff, right, so
12:50
Speaker 4: they're all using trapper Keepers now.
12:52
Speaker 1: So trap Keeper has trapper Keeper updated itself at all? Like,
12:56
Speaker 1: because no would not hang on. The reason I asked
12:59
Speaker 1: is because Stanley was like the tried and true, blue
13:04
Speaker 1: collar lunch pale thing from back in the day, from
13:08
Speaker 1: the twentieth century twenty first century. Stanley is for steel
13:13
Speaker 1: cup with a handle in straw touting soccer moms. Yeah,
13:19
Speaker 1: so things are a little different. Same company, they have
13:22
Speaker 1: the other products, but they also have expanded a bit.
13:24
Speaker 1: So I was wondering if trapper keepers doing the same thing,
13:26
Speaker 1: because trapper keepers mostly plastic stuff, and plastics are bad.
13:30
Speaker 1: So did they go the stainless steel route? So trapper
13:32
Speaker 1: keepers should make it likenk type of stuff.
13:35
Speaker 4: You know, you know how many people get knocked out
13:37
Speaker 4: day one with a stainless steel trapper keeper.
13:41
Speaker 1: Back to school? Day One's just hunger games.
13:45
Speaker 3: It's exactly right.
13:50
Speaker 4: Oh wirst period hurts, and they still will call it
13:55
Speaker 4: a fold take a folder back.
13:59
Speaker 1: Steel doesn't fold.
14:03
Speaker 3: Like like you just did.
14:11
Speaker 1: But no, I did not know that about trapper keepers.
14:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
14:13
Speaker 4: Can you imagine being the factory, the getting that call
14:17
Speaker 4: like hey we need one hundred thousand more, like hey,
14:20
Speaker 4: turn the lights back on, right right, we're back in business.
14:24
Speaker 3: Bitches.
14:30
Speaker 4: That guy had to have been or whoever it is,
14:32
Speaker 4: that person had to have been so stoked when he's like,
14:36
Speaker 4: what they they want these again?
14:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're coming back. I mean, you're right. You think
14:41
Speaker 1: about it, man, All they had to do is just
14:43
Speaker 1: hang on, just long enough and I'm sure like the
14:46
Speaker 1: head of the company is like, look, I swear to you,
14:48
Speaker 1: we're gonna be cool again. Just keep making a few
14:51
Speaker 1: of them here and there, just so people know that
14:52
Speaker 1: they still kind of exist. And all it all it
14:55
Speaker 1: takes is for one idiot influencer to be like, look
14:58
Speaker 1: what I found. The next thing, you know, we're back, baby.
15:03
Speaker 4: Then God, your mom wasn't the accountant is all that
15:07
Speaker 4: she would She would have lost all that money, more
15:12
Speaker 4: and more trapper less keepers.

16:28
Speaker 1: Inside the tree house. Today, Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious enormous
16:37
Speaker 1: shoes from an ancient Roman fort. Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious
16:46
Speaker 1: enormous shoes from an ancient Roman fort. Do you believe
16:52
Speaker 1: it or not? Archaeologists have unearthed mysterious enormous shoes from
16:56
Speaker 1: an ancient Roman fort. Do you believe it or not? Rush?
17:00
Speaker 1: I believe it, okay, Jerry? Do you believe it or not?
17:04
Speaker 1: You know what, I'll take the other one. Okay, Jerry,
17:09
Speaker 1: you are wrong, raj you are correct. You must believe it.
17:15
Speaker 1: Archaeologists have in fact unearthed mysterious enormous shoes from an
17:22
Speaker 1: ancient Roman fort.
17:26
Speaker 3: Who hasn't shock Banged.
17:30
Speaker 1: I had no idea he was an immoral.
17:34
Speaker 3: Of course he is.
17:38
Speaker 1: Researchers were shocked to discover a number of enormous leather
17:42
Speaker 1: shoes that are significantly larger than normal during recent digs
17:46
Speaker 1: in northern England, and they don't know why they're so big.
17:50
Speaker 1: The oversized shoes are from Magna, a Roman era fort
17:54
Speaker 1: along Hadrian's Wall, which is a seventy three miles stone
17:57
Speaker 1: wall that delineated the northwest edge of the Roman Empire
18:00
Speaker 1: and was constructed starting in one twenty two CE. The
18:04
Speaker 1: Roman Army Museum states that the fort was in use
18:08
Speaker 1: from eighty five until one twenty two CE. Real quick,
18:13
Speaker 1: what does c E stand for? Common Era? Is that?
18:17
Speaker 7: Just?
18:19
Speaker 1: Is that? Woke initials for uh after for.
18:23
Speaker 2: Eight basically yeah, and then BCE before common era?
18:28
Speaker 1: Yeah? Got it? Okay, anyway, I'm just curious. Eight enormous
18:34
Speaker 1: leather shoes, eight of them, each greater than eleven point
18:38
Speaker 1: eight inches long, have been discovered by archaeologists since May. Currently,
18:43
Speaker 1: about twenty five percent of all shoes discovered at the
18:45
Speaker 1: site so far are extra large specimens. While investigating a
18:50
Speaker 1: defensive ditch where Roman troops were also known to poop,
18:54
Speaker 1: researchers found the first enormous shoe. According to Christina Kilgre
19:00
Speaker 1: of Live Science, the sole of that shoe measured twelve
19:02
Speaker 1: point six inches, or about the same length as a
19:06
Speaker 1: men's fourteen in the United States.
19:09
Speaker 7: Wow.
19:10
Speaker 1: After continuing their excavation, archaeologists discovered thirty three more pairs
19:14
Speaker 1: of shoes in various sizes, some of which seem to
19:17
Speaker 1: have been designed for young people. They even discovered a
19:20
Speaker 1: shoe that is twelve point eight inches long. The soles
19:25
Speaker 1: are all composed of thinks of cowhide leather that are
19:28
Speaker 1: secured by iron hobnails. Because to the low oxygen content
19:33
Speaker 1: of the local soil, the shoes have remained intact for
19:36
Speaker 1: almost two thousand years. Now, why some of these shoes
19:40
Speaker 1: are so big is a mystery to researchers. My question
19:46
Speaker 1: to you is is there something super mysterious going on
19:50
Speaker 1: or did the Roman Army have a special clown regiment.
19:54
Speaker 3: Or they just got to keep digging and fund of basketball.
19:59
Speaker 1: And eventually court. Yeah, it was the Roman Globetrotters.
20:08
Speaker 3: I'd watched them every day.
20:10
Speaker 8: With metal lark alias, always battling the Jews, the little
20:23
Speaker 8: white guys that just couldn't keep up.
20:28
Speaker 4: That's their Washington generals. I didn't know the Romans had
20:36
Speaker 4: a basketball team. That's pretty awesome. Good for that. Yeah,
20:39
Speaker 4: and and and the start of the league because they
20:41
Speaker 4: had shoes for younger kids too.
20:44
Speaker 1: It's good to know that a development league.
20:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, summer league.
20:51
Speaker 1: Man, what what couldn't the Romans do.
21:00
Speaker 3: Keep that bitch from burning down? That's what they couldn't
21:03
Speaker 3: move well.
21:07
Speaker 1: You can't win them all. Sometimes the little generals get you.

Speaker 1: about to tell you is not breaking news. Okay, it
22:24
Speaker 1: is in no way breaking news, but it is really
22:27
Speaker 1: really funny. A nineteen year old influencer is stranded in
22:31
Speaker 1: the Chilean Antarctic because he landed a plane there without permission.
22:39
Speaker 3: And what is this white kid's name?
22:43
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked Raj.
22:47
Speaker 3: His name is Ethan gu Oh, of course it is.
22:50
Speaker 1: He's nineteen years old and he's of Asian descent, so.
22:58
Speaker 3: That he's adopted. Ok.
23:02
Speaker 1: I was about to say look him up, but damn it.
23:04
Speaker 1: You may be right. I don't know nature versus nurture right.
23:12
Speaker 1: What was intended as a fundraising mission for cancer research
23:15
Speaker 1: has become a nightmare for American teen influencer Ethan Guo.
23:21
Speaker 1: He's been stuck since June in a remote location in
23:24
Speaker 1: Chilean Territory and Antarctica. Authorities say he landed his small
23:31
Speaker 1: plane illegally after providing false flight plan information to officials
23:37
Speaker 1: who opened an investigation. He made headlines last year when
23:40
Speaker 1: the then nineteen year old team began a trip in
23:42
Speaker 1: an attempt to become the youngest person to fly solo
23:45
Speaker 1: to all seven continents and at the time collect donations
23:49
Speaker 1: for research into childhood cancer. So what started out as
23:53
Speaker 1: a very admirable thing turned into a very illegal event.
24:00
Speaker 1: Funny how that happens.
24:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
24:02
Speaker 1: As part of his trip, the teen, who identifies as
24:05
Speaker 1: Asian American, planned to go to the Antarctic, but according
24:08
Speaker 1: to the authorities, he lied to officials providing false flight
24:11
Speaker 1: plan data. Prosecutors said he'd been authorized to fly only
24:15
Speaker 1: over Punta Arenas, but that he kept going south, headlining
24:20
Speaker 1: or heading for Antarctica in his Cessna one eighty two Q,
24:23
Speaker 1: a single engine light aircraft known for its versatility. He
24:26
Speaker 1: was charged on June twenty ninth with handing false information
24:29
Speaker 1: to ground control and landing without authorization, but on Monday,
24:32
Speaker 1: a judge dropped the charges as part of an agreement
24:34
Speaker 1: with his lawyers and Chile's prosecutors. It requires that he
24:40
Speaker 1: give a thirty thousand dollars donation to a children's cancer
24:43
Speaker 1: foundation within thirty days to avoid a trial. He must
24:47
Speaker 1: also leave the country as soon as conditions allow, and
24:50
Speaker 1: is prohibited from re entering Chilean territory for three years.
24:53
Speaker 1: On Monday, after the ruling, he told the AP and
24:55
Speaker 1: a text message that he was relieved by the outcome.
25:00
Speaker 1: For the past six weeks, he's stayed at a military base.
25:03
Speaker 1: He was not forced to stay there, only to remain
25:05
Speaker 1: in Chilean territory, but because of the severe weather in
25:08
Speaker 1: that part of the you know, southern hemisphere known as Antarctica,
25:12
Speaker 1: there haven't been any available flights he could take. Turns
25:15
Speaker 1: out its one place spirit won't go.
25:17
Speaker 3: I wonder how much that big sea costs.
25:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's also been unable to fly his Cessna so
25:30
Speaker 1: Chilean prosecutors on Monday told reporters that the plane does
25:33
Speaker 1: not have the capabilities to make a flight. They didn't
25:37
Speaker 1: provide any additional details. I'm guessing they put a Chilean
25:40
Speaker 1: boot on it, but the American teen influencer said he
25:45
Speaker 1: is talking with his lawyers to see if there's any
25:47
Speaker 1: way he can fly it out of there.
25:52
Speaker 4: A Chilean boot is just a really nice cowboy boot with.
25:56
Speaker 1: A really long pointed two. You know, it really feels
26:03
Speaker 1: like life is starting to imitate jackass. Hi, I'm a
26:06
Speaker 1: nineteen year old idiot. Watch me learn about consequences.
26:10
Speaker 3: And give me a plane.
26:13
Speaker 1: Should we start tagging influencers like endangered species so we
26:17
Speaker 1: can track their movements and study their dumb choices?
26:20
Speaker 2: Yes, that would be fascinating tags. M they're sure, yes, fashion,
26:29
Speaker 2: study and scientific.
26:34
Speaker 3: Who is this kid? Where are his parents?
26:38
Speaker 1: No idea? The story, albeit long, mentions nothing about his parents.
26:45
Speaker 2: Probably because they didn't.
26:46
Speaker 1: They're like, look, leave us out of this. So I
26:49
Speaker 1: know what they said. They said he's adopted.

27:43
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. This
27:49
Speaker 1: is a name I always need to be careful when
27:52
Speaker 1: I say it. Chief Keef is thirty years old. Today,
27:59
Speaker 1: chiefkey is thirty. I say I have to be careful
28:02
Speaker 1: when I say his name because whenever I say it,
28:05
Speaker 1: I want to say Chief Quef because it just feels
28:09
Speaker 1: more natural to say it that. I don't know why
28:12
Speaker 1: Chief Quef comes out easier than Chief Keith.
28:17
Speaker 3: That's his sister.
28:22
Speaker 1: Anyway. Chief Keith is thirty today. Jennifer Lawrence turns thirty five.
28:29
Speaker 1: Many many notable roles catmus Everdeen in the Hunger Games movies.
28:33
Speaker 1: She wanted an oscar for silver Lining's playbook. She was
28:36
Speaker 1: mystique in the Young X Men movies.
28:40
Speaker 7: Called it's just kind of what I call them mm
28:42
Speaker 7: hm x Men first class right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
28:48
Speaker 7: mean tons and tons of film roles at this point.
28:51
Speaker 1: Phenomenal actors too. I think she's really really good and
28:54
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an underrated role of hers
28:56
Speaker 1: or not, but I'm a big fan of the movie
28:58
Speaker 1: Passengers with her and Chris Pratt.
29:01
Speaker 3: Okay, I never sun.
29:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, really interesting premise for a film that's set in
29:06
Speaker 1: the future, Jerry, have you seen it? I have not.
29:09
Speaker 1: So the premise for the film is a spaceship is
29:14
Speaker 1: leaving Earth and it's going to a new planet a
29:17
Speaker 1: couple of galaxies away, and it's going to take like
29:20
Speaker 1: ninety years for it to get there, so all the
29:22
Speaker 1: people have to be have to basically be asleep in
29:26
Speaker 1: cold stasis whatever, cryogenically frozen until they arrive to populate
29:31
Speaker 1: this new planet. Okay, on the way there, the ship
29:35
Speaker 1: runs into a little bit of trouble and Chris Pratt's
29:40
Speaker 1: cryo tube pops open and wakes him up about eighty
29:44
Speaker 1: three years too early, so it's just him on a
29:47
Speaker 1: ship by himself.
29:50
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
29:50
Speaker 1: One thing leads to another. He sees Jennifer Lawrence's tube
29:53
Speaker 1: and says, I'd like to get with that, and he
29:55
Speaker 1: figures out how to pop it open, and he does
30:00
Speaker 1: tube the tube her and eventually her.
30:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, is anybody else hearing the Final countdown by Europe
30:09
Speaker 4: in your head?
30:12
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because, like I think it was gen
30:14
Speaker 1: Z got a hold of the premise of this film
30:16
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh my god, this, it's this horrible
30:19
Speaker 1: he he did that without consent. And Hollywood's making money
30:22
Speaker 1: on this, Like people watch the film, that's what it's about.
30:28
Speaker 1: This is one of the things I can't stand about
30:29
Speaker 1: movie controversies. And this is a good example of social
30:35
Speaker 1: justice woke mob warriors going crazy. And the other most
30:40
Speaker 1: recent example of the far right fascist people going crazy
30:45
Speaker 1: is the Superman being an immigrant thing and they don't
30:48
Speaker 1: like that, and that Superman's two woke everyone on both
30:51
Speaker 1: extremes Calm the f down, because those extreme takes about
30:57
Speaker 1: these films have nothing to do or everything to do
31:02
Speaker 1: with the film in and of itself. Like the extreme
31:05
Speaker 1: leftists like, oh my god, Chris Pratt's character doing that
31:07
Speaker 1: against her consent. Yeah, that's the whole point of the film. Yeah,
31:12
Speaker 1: that's the whole point of the film. Go see the
31:14
Speaker 1: movie and you'll shut up. You'd be like, oh, I
31:15
Speaker 1: get it now, Okay, there you go. And then on
31:17
Speaker 1: the flip side, you get people like Dean Kane who
31:20
Speaker 1: was Superman, and Lois and Clark saying Superman's two woke
31:24
Speaker 1: because the director said it's an immigrant story blah blah
31:26
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. Go see the movie, Dean, Yeah,
31:29
Speaker 1: because if you see the movie, it's not like that
31:31
Speaker 1: at all.
31:32
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:33
Speaker 4: And also, I would like to see Ice try to
31:35
Speaker 4: deport somebody back to Kryptop.
31:38
Speaker 1: Good luck with that. It's no longer there.
31:43
Speaker 3: You're gonna need Elon Musk again one of his.
31:46
Speaker 1: Rockets, because at the end of the day, where do
31:51
Speaker 1: you send him? Wereville?
31:58
Speaker 2: Where these people's outrage with Sleeping Beauty, it's.
32:03
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, Some of those people have out have
32:05
Speaker 1: voiced their outrage about that as well. That's why some
32:08
Speaker 1: of the Disney films are having to update some of
32:10
Speaker 1: their stories two more modern times, because you know, it's like, well,
32:14
Speaker 1: why does a man have to save her maybe she
32:16
Speaker 1: can save herself, or why is it dependent on a
32:19
Speaker 1: kiss from a man or you know, it's like this
32:21
Speaker 1: is you know, it's it's the patriarchy.
32:22
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. I mean I would I would watch
32:24
Speaker 3: it if it was a kiss from a woman.
32:27
Speaker 1: See that's the angle I thought of too. It's like, okay, well,
32:31
Speaker 1: I'm open to exploring new ideas.
32:33
Speaker 3: We can make this unnecessarily hot.
32:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, we we could do a crossover of sleeping beauty
32:41
Speaker 1: and caged heat. Let's all meet in the middle.
32:52
Speaker 5: Visit us online a Treehouse on Air dot com.
33:09
Speaker 1: You're in good Treehouse.
33:11

33:25
Speaker 1: past shows, linked, contact info, and for all available on
33:29
Speaker 1: our website Treehouse on Air dot com. Have nah yeah
33:57
Speaker 1: you actually it really is. It really is frustrating as
34:01
Speaker 1: a normal thinking person to have people on the extremes
34:08
Speaker 1: of our society right and left, and some that go
34:11
Speaker 1: so far even beyond those extremes, they somehow end up
34:14
Speaker 1: on the like the dark side of the moon type
34:16
Speaker 1: of thinking that you can't just enjoy a movie anymore.
34:20
Speaker 1: It's got to have some over arcing, nasty political message
34:25
Speaker 1: in it or it's you know, it's it's it's fascist
34:28
Speaker 1: or it's racist. You know, it's like when it may
34:30
Speaker 1: not be, it may not have been intended that way,
34:34
Speaker 1: but you're right, I mean, Jerry, Like people were or
34:36
Speaker 1: have started voicing concerns about some of these older children's
34:40
Speaker 1: stories that turned into Disney films and saying, well, you know,
34:44
Speaker 1: some of these tropes need to go away, because you know,
34:48
Speaker 1: women shouldn't be dependent on a man to save them
34:51
Speaker 1: or an unconsented kiss to get them. And then that
34:55
Speaker 1: leaves those of us who are having fun in the
34:57
Speaker 1: middle to say, well, you know what, Okay, well we're
35:00
Speaker 1: open to a woman delivering that same kiss. Yeah, we
35:04
Speaker 1: would think of ourselves as open minded. Here inside the treehouse,
35:07
Speaker 1: let's see where he goes.
35:08
Speaker 4: I would be there opening day for scissoring Beauty Popcorn,
35:20
Speaker 4: ready to go, Yeah.
35:22
Speaker 1: Drive off into the sunset and there's new in their
35:25
Speaker 1: new super up. And at the same time, people getting mad,
35:38
Speaker 1: like on the extreme right saying how it's like, oh, well,
35:41
Speaker 1: the Superman's woke because he's it's an immigrant story and
35:45
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Well that's not new. He's always been
35:47
Speaker 1: an illegal alien.
35:55
Speaker 4: I mean he's he's a dreamer. His parents sent him
35:59
Speaker 4: here like he did right, right, so.
36:02
Speaker 1: He didn't have a choice in the matter. He's just
36:04
Speaker 1: making the most of his circumstances.
36:06
Speaker 4: I would love to see him in line for his papers, right,
36:11
Speaker 4: just waiting with everybody else to get natural natural.
36:18
Speaker 3: Raise your right hand, Superman.
36:22
Speaker 1: Except in this newest version, he's going to have to
36:24
Speaker 1: be detained by Ice, and Ice is wearing their masks,
36:27
Speaker 1: to which Superman's like, really, I can see right through that.
36:30
Speaker 1: I did this with Batman, going to do this. I
36:36
Speaker 1: totally know what youre.
36:40
Speaker 3: Hey, Dean Kane.
36:42
Speaker 1: Everyone knows to make fun of my glasses and think
36:44
Speaker 1: that they can't recognize me versus Clark Camp. But come on, dude,
36:48
Speaker 1: everyone knows your mouth.
36:50
Speaker 3: Detain somebody with heat vision.
36:52
Speaker 4: Okay, let's see how that pans out.
36:58
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead and Cuffy.
37:02
Speaker 3: Watch this.
37:05
Speaker 1: I'm not even a magician. What else you got?
37:10
Speaker 3: Are you actually? Are you actually shooting me?
37:14
Speaker 1: I will say that is one of the really cool
37:16
Speaker 1: things about the quasi forgotten Superman movie. In the middle
37:21
Speaker 1: of all the Superman stuff is the one that starred
37:24
Speaker 1: Brandon Routh. I think it was Superman Returns is what
37:26
Speaker 1: it was called. I still remember that one thing in
37:29
Speaker 1: that movie that was really really cool is someone's firing
37:34
Speaker 1: an automatic weapon at him and he's just slowly walking
37:36
Speaker 1: towards them, not bleaking, and a bullet bounces off his eyeball.
37:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was awesome.
37:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, it flattens against his eyeball and then just falls
37:49
Speaker 1: to the ground. Leg That was a badass scene.
37:52
Speaker 4: That's when I that's when I that's when I quit
37:55
Speaker 4: ice be like, you know what I tried.
37:58
Speaker 3: It flew off his eye.
37:59
Speaker 1: Guys.
38:00
Speaker 3: I'll speak guys later.
38:01
Speaker 1: Sorry, man, I started with Eleon Gonzales. I can't handle this.
38:09
Speaker 3: Put that kid back on a raft.
38:11
Speaker 1: Yeah. I made six year old Cubans I got you,
38:14
Speaker 1: not thirty year old Kryptonians. Not thirty year old Kryptonians
38:20
Speaker 1: that can flatten bullets with their eyelids.
38:24
Speaker 3: Who wants lunch?
38:28
Speaker 1: I mean it was bad enough. He looked through my
38:30
Speaker 1: mask and he whispered into my ear.
38:32
Speaker 8: I know where your family lives, I know who you are,
38:36
Speaker 8: and you're.
38:37
Speaker 3: Not wearing underwear x ra vision.
38:44
Speaker 1: Yeah. That was the other thing about the Superman Returns
38:46
Speaker 1: movie starring Brendan Rauth that was a little weird at
38:49
Speaker 1: the time. Was he was the one that wore the uh,
38:53
Speaker 1: the bikini brief, like the low rise bikini brief under
38:57
Speaker 1: rus as part of his costume. Because if you think
39:02
Speaker 1: about it, the underwear stuff really like the trends follow
39:07
Speaker 1: under the underwear that Superman wears on the outside, right,
39:11
Speaker 1: because back in the day, was it the guy that
39:13
Speaker 1: did Superman on TV's like George Reeve or whatever. It
39:16
Speaker 1: was like the high waisted, like the swim trunks, the
39:20
Speaker 1: swim trunk almost up to his chest type stuff. Then
39:24
Speaker 1: you get Christopher Reeve in the movies in the seventies
39:27
Speaker 1: and the eighties, and it's a kind of belly button
39:30
Speaker 1: height on the red underwear outside. Yeah, not quite Speedo.
39:35
Speaker 1: But then when you get to Brandon Routh's Superman Superman Returns,
39:38
Speaker 1: that's when you do get sort of that Speedo look
39:41
Speaker 1: because at the time, the low rise bikini brief was
39:45
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. It was available in stores, and
39:48
Speaker 1: so that was Superman's underwear at the time. But then
39:51
Speaker 1: we had a hell of a leap between Superman Returns
39:54
Speaker 1: with Brandon Routh and his low rise bikini brief underwear
39:59
Speaker 1: to Henry Cavel's not wearing a damn thing.
40:10
Speaker 3: Yeah.
40:10
Speaker 1: So, like for this brand new movie, people were wondering, well,
40:13
Speaker 1: is he gonna have the red under rus on or not.
40:15
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be like Henry Cavils with nothing, or
40:18
Speaker 1: is it gonna be like Christopher Reeves. It turned out
40:21
Speaker 1: to be more like Christopher Reeves. But honestly, I thought
40:23
Speaker 1: they could have easily have gone the thong route because
40:26
Speaker 1: that's what's popular now.
40:28
Speaker 3: Male thongs.
40:30
Speaker 4: Well, just like, oh you like them.
40:35
Speaker 2: We we know this already. This is a well established fact.
40:38
Speaker 2: There are pictures of me on the internet.
40:41
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's news to me.
40:43
Speaker 4: Jerry, you're gonna You're not gonna You're not gonna be
40:49
Speaker 4: my favorite superman, but you'll be my favorite wonder woman.
