Welcome back to The Jack Black Show.
I'm Jack Black.
Before the break,
we were talking to Maggie from Magnolia.
So, let me get this straight, Maggie.
From an evolutionary point of view.
men have basically outserved their function
as hunter/providers.
and according to you,
testosterone is going to destroy the world?
Look, all I'm saying is.
after five marriages, I think I know
something about men, you know?
Ditz.
I mean, there is a difference
between men and women.
So you're saying.
What I'm saying is
that even when we're kids.
girls are nurturers,
boys are aggressors, that's all.
Girls want to play with dolls,
and boys want to play with.
- Themselves?
- . A go n A s A.
Men are what's wrong with the world.
Well, ma'am, speaking as Jack Black,
your radio therapist.
I have just two words of advice:
- Stop whining!
- Stop whining!
- Next caller.
- Next caller.
I don't know how you can even call yourself
a therapist.
when you don't believe people should talk.
about their problems.
Isn't modern therapy.
Hey, modern therapy is the problem.
People wallowing in their own
pathetic guilt at $100 an hour.
instead of just getting on with it.
If more people listened to me,
fewer people would listen to me.
But the work I've done on my inner child.
has really helped.
Sir, I've two words of advice
for your inner child:
Grow up!
Next caller.
Yeah, hi.
Go ahead, caller.
I need you to help me,
to explain someone to me.
Ashley, do you know what time it is?
Go ahead, Bubba from Richmond Beach.
DAD:
Yeah, I just wanted to call and say
that your show really offends me.
Where you calling from?
I'm at home.
Has someone got a gun to your head?
I've been doing it for three years.
Three words of advice, my friend:
- Get a life!
- Get a life!
- Next caller.
- Hi.
Hello, Rochelle from Rhode Island.
Ashley, honey.
You wanna give me a hand
with the groceries?
And please don't listen to that garbage.
But it's Daddy's show.
I know.
Joshua, when I said
grab a bag out of the car.
I meant something a bit bigger.
Rachel, Gwendolyn, Consuelo,
whatever you want to call yourself.
Okay, guys, let's go.
Your father's gonna be here any minute.
I just have two words of advice for you:
- Stop whining!
- Stop whining!
Next caller.
Don't worry. He'll be here.
Dad!
- Hi, Joshua.
- Dad.
You guys ready to cruise?
What's with this research stuff?
They've been really looking forward to this.
They haven't spent any quality time
with you since last summer.
- It's not gonna be a problem. I promise.
- Right.
Come here. I love you guys.
You have a good time, okay? Come here.
"Interstate five."
"Exit 176."
"Exit 177."
U.S.-CANADA CUSTOMS - 5 Miles
How long is this ride, Dad?
Just a second, Josh. Yeah, Albert.
You have my numbers, right?
You can reach me on my cell,
or if that's busy, fax me in the car.
"Exit 301."
"Watch for falling rock."
"Welcome to Glenorky, home of Orky."
GLENORKY - ORKY It's about time.
Dad, who's Orky?
I know it is only four weeks,
Albert, but I will get it done.
You have my word.
Dad?
Honey, can you get that, please?
It's somewhere in the back.
They can give you brain cancer, you know.
Well, you can call me then.
He has my numbers, right?
Major roadkill.
Dad, I got a close-up using the image.
Two words of advice AI: Re-lax.
Did you say something, honey?
I just wanted to know who Orky was.
He's a stupid tourist attraction,
like the Loch Ness monster, O Vacant One.
Am I the only one who hears that?

Reviews for "The Magic Tree House YouTube: An Educational Treasure Trove for Kids"
1. Amanda - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the "Magic Tree House" YouTube channel. I was excited to watch videos related to the popular book series, but it didn't meet my expectations. The videos were poorly produced and lacked the magic and excitement that I felt when reading the books. The animation was basic and the storytelling was not engaging enough. Overall, it felt like a cheap attempt to cash in on the popularity of the books without putting in much effort. I won't be watching any more videos from this channel.
2. Jason - 1/5 - I found the "Magic Tree House" YouTube channel to be extremely boring. The videos were slow-paced and lacked any real substance. They felt more like a slideshow with voiceovers rather than an engaging visual experience. The topics covered in the videos were also not as interesting as I expected. I was hoping for more adventures and mysteries, but most of the videos were about historical events and non-fiction subjects. I don't think I'll be tuning in again.
3. Sarah - 3/5 - I was a fan of the "Magic Tree House" books, so I decided to give the YouTube channel a try. However, I found the videos to be quite repetitive. Each episode seemed to follow a similar formula, with Jack and Annie going on an adventure and learning a lesson. While this may work for the books, it didn't translate well to the screen. The videos became predictable and lost the charm and excitement of the original stories. I think the channel would benefit from more variety and creativity in their content.
4. Michael - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the "Magic Tree House" YouTube channel, but it fell flat for me. The videos lacked depth and didn't provide enough educational value. It felt like a missed opportunity to engage young viewers with fascinating historical and scientific concepts. The visuals were also quite simplistic and didn't capture my attention. Overall, I think the channel needs to invest more in creating high-quality content that both entertains and educates its audience.
