Aliens possess the world's machines, sending a convoy of sentient trucks to terrorize a band of gas station dumb dumbs. All to the tune of AC/DC and directed by Stephen King. Sounds like a blast! Well... don't drink and drive, folks. We're getting under the hood to assess this 80s highway to hell: behind-the-scenes turmoil, lost eyes, substance abuse, and even George Romero's rumored shadow direction. Plus, why Evil Dead II owes its existence to the film, King's work & legacy, and more Simpson's references than you'd expect. Now get in - we're putting this baby into maximum overdrive!

The world seems obsessed with America right now—but Americans themselves may not be getting the memo.On this episode of The Treehouse Show, we dive into the strange contrast happening across social media. Foreign tourists are posting videos celebrating American food, road trips, sports, and culture. Japanese baseball fans are famously cleaning up stadiums after games, while back here at home, some fans celebrated the New York Knicks championship by fighting, rioting, and even shooting each other. What gives? Why do outsiders seem to appreciate America more than Americans do?We also jump into today's celebrity birthdays, which somehow leads us down a rabbit hole celebrating the greatness of Karl Urban. From The Boys to Lord of the Rings and Dredd, is Karl Urban one of the most underrated actors working today?Plus:

Simmons for a deep dive into his journey through the South Florida music scene of the 1980s and early 1990s.Chris reflects on growing up in Hollywood, Florida, and how discovering bands like KISS inspired him to pick up a guitar, write songs, and begin performing at a young age.

Big brains are very useful, but they cost ENERGY and RESOURCES, at least for mammals and birds. Now a new study has shed light on what determines whether reptiles and amphibian species have evolved to be clever, or nice but dim. We also discuss cannibalism by snakes, which is actually pretty common albeit difficult to document due to their secretive lifestyles.

A band of brave, and very furry, pirate hamsters, set sail with one mission: find enough nuts to fill their rumbling tummies. Their quest takes a wild turn when they stumble upon a gigantic macadamia nut on an uninhabited island. Even stranger, no matter how much they nibble, crunch, or chomp each day, the nut mysteriously returns to its full size every single morning. Life is wonderful for the crew—until their colossal treasure suddenly disappears. Determined to reclaim their beloved macadamia, the three pirate hamsters launch a colossal search, leaving no hamster wheel unturned. Set sail with us to see just how far these three tiny pirates will go to recover their lost treasure. Along the way, we'll discover how God and His angels rejoice when even one sinner turns back to Him.Learn more about Ms. Adventure's Treehouse by joining our ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠Instagram⁠ communities or connect with Charity at ⁠⁠⁠msadventurestreehouse@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠.

Starwood Hotels builds 1 Hotels, Treehouse, and Baccarat around one idea: products need emotion and soul, not templates. While hosting Starwood's annual conference, I talked with Raul Leal, CEO of Starwood Hotels, about differentiation through nature-led design, human experience, and AI-driven personalization that stays human.

What are the weirdest shows on TLC right now? We went down the rabbit hole—and it gets strange fast.Welcome to Dear Treehouse #21, where we break down the most bizarre reality TV moments we could find. From an Amish guy with pierced nipples to the viral trend of “perineum sunning,” this episode dives into the weird side of modern TV and internet culture.If you like funny podcasts, strange news stories, and ridiculous real-life moments, this episode is for you. In this episode: The wildest shows currently on TLC Reality TV gone too far Pierced nipples & Amish culture crossover

What's the ONE thing you can say in a relationship that instantly starts a fight?

Rizz is officially out of the building, which means the rest of us are left unsupervised—and that's never gone well for anyone. This comedy podcast episode kicks off with big “dad's out of town” energy, and it only gets more unhinged from there.We're celebrating 4/20 the only way we know how: by learning way too much about weed culture while simultaneously making terrible decisions. Lern steps in as the show's self-appointed cannabis correspondent with stats, history, and facts that range from “huh, interesting” to “we probably didn't need to know that.” Meanwhile, we debate legalization, grandma gummies, and why weed went from illegal to basically a grocery store side quest.But the real chaos? Travel stories.Rafe returns from Texas after dropping $178 on BBQ (yes, you read that right), dealing with flight delays, and getting stuck in TSA purgatory while trying to meet Brooks & Dunn. Spoiler: he did NOT get the picture, and yes, he's still bitter about it. Add in a suspicious hotel room soy sauce incident that absolutely looked like something else, and you've got a weekend that housekeeping will never forget.Moon? Oh, Moon had a completely different kind of trauma—getting trapped on a flight next to what might be the worst-smelling human being in recorded history. We're talking full sensory shutdown, emergency coping strategies, and a story that will make you reconsider ever flying again.Elsewhere in this daily comedy, we cover raccoon encounters, Coachella-from-the-couch fashion, delayed flights, airline nonsense, and why modern air travel feels like a social experiment designed to test your patience.It's messy. It's ridiculous. It's exactly what happens when nobody responsible is around.If you're here for a comedy podcast that mixes real-life disasters, sarcastic humor, and stories that spiral way out of control, congrats—you found it. This comedy podcast episode is peak Rizz Show energy… just with less supervision and more regret.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How honest should you be in a relationship? And what do you do if your kid is… kind of a nightmare?

Host Steve Turk introduces an archived 2022 Hospitality Mentor Podcast episode featuring Raul Leal, then CEO of SH Hotels & Resorts (now CEO of Starwood). Leal recounts starting at Miami's Everglades Hotel working with his Cuban-immigrant father, setting early goals to become a GM, and progressing through front desk and food-and-beverage roles, including managing a Sheraton with a major nightclub, before becoming a GM in La Jolla and later leading larger Sheraton properties in Denver, Chicago, Cleveland, and Miami. He describes launching and scaling Teton Hospitality and its boutique arm, Desires Hotels, driven by frustration with legacy-brand sameness and belief in internet-driven distribution. Leal shares how meeting Richard Branson led him to build Virgin Hotels from scratch, and why he later joined Starwood/SH Hotels to lead brands including 1 Hotels, Baccarat Hotels, and Treehouse, emphasizing sustainability, better back-of-house spaces, mentorship, clear goals, and kindness in leadership.Try Lodgify with a 60 percent discount on all their yearly and bi-yearly plans with our code THM60 , and that's THM6000:00 Podcast Welcome00:33 Sponsor Lodgify01:38 Archive Episode Setup02:10 First Hospitality Job04:12 Choosing Hospitality Career05:18 Learning Without College05:55 Climbing Into Management08:21 First GM Move West09:27 Mentors And GM Life10:24 Big Hotels Career Ladder11:59 Entrepreneurial Leap14:10 Building Boutique Portfolio15:47 Travel Reality Check17:40 Why Launch Desires20:26 First Boutique Wins21:43 Lifestyle Hotel Edge23:00 Richard Branson Connection23:43 Meeting Richard Branson25:12 Consulting Turns Into Leadership26:41 Inside Virgin Culture28:45 Building Virgin Hotels From Scratch31:00 Choosing The First Property32:24 Chicago Launch And Expansion34:20 Leaving Virgin For SH Hotels36:16 SH Brands And Sustainability40:31 Growth Plans And Openings41:28 Reimagining Back Of House44:04 Advice For Young Leaders45:46 Closing And Sponsor Message

This week we're diving into two reptile papers: the first is about desert lizards being secret nutritional strategists, timing what they eat across the year to nail mating season and prep for hibernation. Then we stumble into the chaotic world of rattlesnake seed dispersal, where a snake eats a rodent that ate a seed, and thanks to the snake, a tree grows.

Bradykinin is a hormone that is released naturally in response to tissue damage, so if you hurt yourself, it makes it hurt. Quite a few animals from wildly different evolutionary histories have defensive toxins which are fake copies of this hormone. We discover which animals have them, when these defences evolved, and ultimately, how they are used for defence.  For our Species of the Bi-Week there have been multiple new rock monitors discovered - slender predators of Australia's rocky outcroppings.
