Bears LOL | Wednesday 03.18.26

0:00 Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at YouTube dot com. Slash at Treehouse on air. It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Rebecca Black coming up on the show today. When you're in the middle of doing your job and suddenly a bear and we're going to start with gym z is rebranding things yet again. They just can't stop, won't stop, and they can't stop, won't stop. I'm afraid they may get their hands on that and change it up to where we have to learn a new language just to communicate with these kids. Lol is over. According to a new report.

0:56 Generations like us used LOL the show that they were laughing in a text conversation laugh out loud right. Gen Zers say emojis have made it easier to convey when someone's laughing more than texting letters ever could. They're using LOL as a social qu to be sarcastic. Normally, when I use LOL, it's because like I'm annoyed with what you're texting. May sarcastically Now like like lool not actually lack laugh out loud. It just like LOL, Like, yeah, that's like it's it's not funny. So the next time someone says LOL to you, if they're younger, you better think twice because they may be giving you a little bit of shade and thinking you don't understand it.

1:43 Is it just me? Or is gen x? How do I put this? A bunch of little jerks? Yeah? I mean you mean gen Z. Sorry, Yes, we're big jerks as gen X. Let me rephrase Is it just me? Or is a bunch of little jerks? Yes? Absolutely, they're the worst. It's really starting to feel like they're finding they're trying to find different ways, in different angles to make fun of the olds. Like don't they know LOL walked so that their little smiley face laughy face emojibs could run. You're welcome.

2:23 I'm a big fan of perspective, and I've always felt that in order to appreciate the things you have, you need to have started someplace without those things. So in order to appreciate the emoji. When we got our first cell phones, we had you know, I mean we were doing colons, semi colons, hyphens, and parentheses to make our own emoticons. And before that, it was calculators typing out boobs. So you know, back off, kids. If it wasn't for the boobs on the calculator, you wouldn't have LOL to use against us sarcastically your little words correct.

3:10 By the way, I'm not even using LOL like as a Joe. It's it's just easier, it's faster. I'm very lazy. I don't want to have to switch the keyboard over, so I'm just gonna type the LLL rather than get an emoji. Yeah, you're in the habit and I get it. What is it? Trey? I always hated LOL, so I don't mind this one at all. Oh what what's your hatred of LOL? I'm curious, overused, simplistic and and a lot of times I always felt it was condescending. So see, now I got no problem with this one. I mean, I hate gen Z. And it's still all in on that. I love it. Yeah, but I I if LOL is very boomerish to me.

3:57 I actually I agree with Trey to a extent on the LOL. I was anti LOL because I felt like so many people, especially men older than me, overused it, and I don't know why they over used it. One of the great examples is Sean Salisbury. Love Sean Salisbury, very talented man on the ESPN until he showed some photos to people he shouldn't have, and then he ended up on local radio in Dallas and that's where he and I met and hung out for a handful of months. But he was the worst culprit when it came to LOL via text. I'm like, Sean, why are you l oling me? All I sent was I'll see you at nine.

4:38 Oh. He's like, and he's like cool LOL. I'm like, what's stop it? No, that's just inappropriate? You see the LOL that? No, here's the thing. Boomers just don't even know what it means. They don't I don't think they know what it means. So they're like, ah, this is what the kids are doing LOL. And maybe that's what it is. Maybe maybe that's why gen z Is is twisting the LOL and trying to use it again us older generations, because we have bastardized it. What if we just said no, we've been using it sarcastically this whole entire time, and then we got them now. I don't think we have though, Like you're on record just a few minutes ago saying that you loved using lol.

5:21 It's all about spin. It's all about spin, Dan. We got to spend it in our favor so that they realize how stupid they are for trying to steal all of our stuff. Okay, that I'm on board with. It's not necessarily what you said before. It's that you may have evolved on the matter correct, even if it was only two minutes ago. Exactly exactly, shows that I'm open to change. But going back to what you said, Trey, it's like I had seen so many people older or even around our age, millennial and Gen X using lol so much that I just I just didn't want to use it unless it was actually appropriate, because I really felt like so many people were doing it when they weren't actually experiencing laughter.

6:07 Yeah. No, I think it became especially people a little bit older, used it way too much on stuff that really wasn't that funny. And that's where you know, sometimes I would raretimes I would ever type out lol it was kind of of oh yeah that was funny. Uh huh. So essentially we've been using it like it's a courtesy laugh, is what you're saying. Patronizing? Yeah, a little bit yeah, and between those two the it's kind of gray, like it could go a little bit of both ways. Yeah. So in that regard, maybe we were the pioneers of using LOL in this fashion. It's just like you said, Rebecca gen Z has run with it.

6:54 No, no, no, no, Rebecca doesn't get off here. She took a stand that she absolutely was four loll and she used it and was defending it. She needs to know you sit down. I am agreeing with you, Trey. I am agreeing with you. You are one hundred percent correct. I said, I don't raise your hands like victory. No, no, no, I'm here for the spin job. I am here for the spin job. Uh uh no, just say, just say you evolved on the matter. I did. I evolved. Now I use it sarcastically, obviously, God lo o L.

7:34 I love that nothing gets Trey. Matter is when you immediately flip on something in the middle of the show. Oh no, no, tray tray tray is an immediate hold feet to the fiery guy. You took a stand. I admire it. Now you have to die on that hill. Why I'm learning I am evolving in real time. That seems a little rigid, because trust me. There's lots of things we used to believe many years ago. That that's a hill I do not not only not want to die on, I don't want to be anywhere near that hill. I have I have died on on hills, you know, stacked high with your stupidity. So I'm I'm not really throwing a stone. I'm just saying, you know.

8:23 I better be willing to just go ahead and fall on the sword. Here is what you're saying. I guess I'm a little more fluid, not in that way. Shut up. What I mean is if there's a hill that I've decided that I might die on, if I look around and see a bunch of corpses around me, I may rethink my position. Yeah, we just got to see it with lightning speed out of Rebecca exactly. I can't know. I turned very quickly. It was it was easy. What can I say? I should be a politician or something. That's all you gotta do. That, that's that's the ultimate political thing. It's like, oh, well you know, oh you said this the other day. Well I've evolved done the issue in two days.

9:04 Yes I have, Yes, I have seen the error of my ways. Lol. Is stupid, and so. Is gin Z. That's the hill. We can all party on raw Yes. In the treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse OnAir dot com.

What would you do if not this job, but your regular job? What would you do if you were at your regular job and suddenly a bear showed up? Tray, I'd assume he'd want a Vouka Sota.

12:07 And you don't discriminate? What about you, Rebecca? What if you're I'm sorry. Coming off Texas Bear Round Off weekend in Dallas. Yeah, that's I didn't even make that connection. I should have. You're right coming off of Texas Texas Bear Round up the old tbr. TB Are you TB? Are you? Rebecca? What about you? I think I'm quitting. I think I'm done. I think the job is over. Goodbye. Well, now you're now. Imagine you're a TV reporter at kt LA in Los Angeles and you're doing a report on a bear attack in a neighborhood, and that's when a bear just happens to show up.

12:52 Good morning. I'm Aaron Myers in Monrovia. A bear attacked a woman walking her dog in this neighborhood, and and now they're trying to determine if it is the same bear that lives underneath the house here behind me, All those details coming up. I'm going to back this up for a moment to the very beginning of the clip. Look over on the right over her shoulder. Mm hmm. What do you see? There's definitely some movement. A bear that's not a dog. Good news is that people back in the studio, do notice this.

13:35 Myers and Monrovia lives underneath the house here behind me. All those details coming up, and yes, we all see that bear off to the right side. We'll get back it with Aaron in just a moment. We all know California. Now do you hear that? The voice over, I see it now, that's Aaron. When she finally pays attention to I'm assuming the little rock that her photographer is pointing at when she's doing this shot, She's like, oh, it is the bear right there. So they do what you should do in television news when you're alive, You go back to the reporter who's in peril. Let's go back to Aaron Myers. We're going back now, Aaron, what are you seeing out there? And be careful?

14:19 Please, Hi you guys, you can see the bear actually walking into the trap or. So here you got the house in the background behind her she's across the street and then in the house behind her there's a trailer which is apparently a trap for the bear, and that's where the bear was hiding, in between the house and between this trailer. So she hasn't even seen the full breadth of the bear yet. But she's about to. No, it was going to do. But now it's walking out. We're gonna step back a little bit. We're told by the man who lives here that this bear has been here for several months and they do believe it has a baby. That's all also living in the house. So it's walking out this way. We may get back in the car, depending on what it does.

15:06 But what do you mean? May that bear is way bigger than I thought it was. It comes around the back of that trailer. I don't know how she's still standing, let alone talking. May get back in No, I'd already be in that van. I can be from the. Vand yes, I'm like, we can roll the window down, crack the window, put the camera lens outside, and stay inside the vehicle so we don't lose. A limb or two if you want, get the boom microphone so you can stick it out and ask the bear for comment. Correct, Why are we still doing this in news? Why are we sending people to a location that is known to have a bear sighting? This is like for this very reason right that we're watching. They want her to be eaten, like we want the ratings of her being eaten.

15:49 It's they care. They can't officially say they want her to be attacked, but they do want the possibility of it. Yes, roof of it. Yes, if you took away the superfluous live shot out of news, they wouldn't know what to do with themselves. They actually have to go go find news. Would they? Though, Like, we got AI now, that can cover this, no problem. We can make it look like she is about to be attacked by a bear with a green screen. There's a number of ways to do this without actually endangering this poor woman. That is a slippery slope, Rebecca, because if you start putting AI reporters in the field, then you don't need the regular reporters in the field and they will start losing their jobs.

16:34 Well, I meant keep her and then let's do an AI background. Oh gotchak right now? You can see it here in the driveway. They say, he usually or she usually comes out a couple times a day and just hangs out in this neighborhood a lot. And you can see her right there going onto the grass and they don't know, I do want to say, they don't know if this was the bear that attacked the person walking. Odds are I don't think that. Yeah, there's that many bears in the neighborhood. No, that woman did have her dog with her. The bear swiped her leg. We're told she's going to be okay. But this is like around the seven hundred block of Oak Blade Drive, And once again, this bear been here for some time. Residents say they have seen it for quite a while. And you do see fish and wildlife here too. They are out here monitoring the situation.

17:26 That's my favorite part of this, outside of the bear coming around the back of the trailer so you see how large it is is when she mentions that game and wildlife is there monitoring the situation. But you don't see a person. No, you just see the truck because even they know that it's stupid to be outside the vehicle. Like, at the very least, shouldn't the news station have sent her out with like a good pair of running shoes and maybe I don't know. Because that's what you want to do, is run from a bear. Like, clearly we haven't done our research on bears. Hold on, I'm not finished. I know they're very fast, but also with like one of those like the dog attack outfits, so that in the event she does get mauled, she's got some protection.

18:10 The byte suit. Yeah, yeah, the byte suit. That makes an effort here. That I'm sorry, but that would actually make for excellent television to send Aaron Myers out on location. And would you just imagine you're sitting at home having your morning coffee and you're like, I'm gonna watch KTLA today. It's a good day, love, and they're like, now we're gonna go to Aaron Meyers Live. And then when they show her on camera, it's full on byte suit. Yes, yes, i am. I am locked in all morning. I'll just carry that live all day. Maybe a helmet, oh, definitely, a helmet. Screw the byte suit if you're gonna do that, because then it's multipurpose. Put them in a bomb bomb suit, yeah, okay, because then they can go to the you know, potential bombing targets, and then that's for the.

18:56 Story afterwards, it works for both. I agree, that makes sense. Uh. And then if you just want to really go ridiculous, you cut to her and she's in a full like medieval night get up. So then that way she can go through her shift at medieval times. Afterwards with some chain mail. With some chain mail, absolutely you got to protect yourself from the bear. That would make for good TV. It'd be dumb, but that's what I want to watch. And clearly LA does as good of a job at bear traps as they do at fire prevention. Like what Like, I want to know what was in that bear trap to entice the bear that the bear went up to. It was like nah, and it just continued on down the street. And had they just put a twink in there, they would have got them.

19:44 Could have said twinkie, But you stayed with the Texas bear around that breath. Thumbs up, buddy, same okay. So if I was to tell you that in a survey a few years ago done by you govs so very official, that six percent of a Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight, would you believe me? M? Six percent? Yeah? Six percent? You hang on hang on, I just I forgot I have this. Believe it or not. Six percent of Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight. Yeah, I believe that right.

20:27 The only reason I don't believe it is I just think there's a greater chunk of the population that's dumb, so I would think the number would be higher. Balance. That is alarming and it feels right. Uh, Rebecca takes this one. Uh, technically correct. Believe it. Six percent of Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight. But almost half think they could land a jet. Yes, in an emergency. In an emergency, could land a commercial jet. To be fair, there are thousands of experts that could talk you through landing a commercial jet in a crisis. I don't know if there's any quote unquote expert that could talk you through a bear mauling.

21:11 Technically, yes, I could probably land a jet, but it's also gonna flip and roll at the end. It'll reach the ground, Yeah, it'll get there. Ye. Safely is questionable. If landing is a subjective term, then yeah. Absolutely yeah. When you approach the person when you ask that in the survey, like if it was me, and they're asking, could you land a jet? I would respond back, you mean land to jet or air quote land correct. So I don't know what's more alarming on this study the fact that six percent of Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight, or that only sixty one percent of Americans could beat a goose in a fight.

21:55 I don't know. Geese are mean, man, really, I don't think I could beat a goose. They're scary. Are you attacked by one? I've been attacked by a swan and I live to tell the tale. I won that fight sort of sort of sort of asterisk sort of it did and I ran away, or you. Just, you know, just grab it by the neck. I don't know if I could do that, though, that would make me sad. So in the same survey, six percent of Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight. Seventy two percent of Americans think they could take a rat.

22:36 I'm assuming that the twenty eight percent that said they couldn't are just going to be catatonic or phobic and they just wouldn't be able to function. I guess right. Sixty nine percent feel they could take a house cat. Okay, so you know, thirty one percent of people feel like they couldn't. Sixty one percent feel they could take on a goose. Fortn think they could beat a medium sized dog. I think that just depends on the dog. Thir of Americans think they could beat an eagle in a fight. Now, if we're talking about an actual bird of prey, we're talking about the radio station that that numbers should be way higher because everybody's beating them.

23:21 What kind of eagle harpy no, probably gonna lose all? Is that a really big one that can pick up like a dog off the ground. Okay, I'm not familiar with the different breeds of eagle. The only eagles I know of are the bald eagle and I think the golden eagle. So what's a what's a harpy eagle? It's king of the eagles. It's it's got like a I forgot how big. It's like a seven or eight foot wingspan that they can they can pick up like they're they're at slent hunters.

24:02 That's my thing. How much weight can they pick up with their claws? Because if it's like I would say even over thirty pounds. I'm toast. Yeah, are we talking like picking up toddlers? Probably Jesus, Yeah. I don't want to fight that. I'll just let it be. So the one we talked about yesterday Tray was seventeen percent of Americans and specifically twenty two percent of men, think they could take a chimpanzee, which we know is absolute nonsense. Ain't no way, but see that that number is in line with the number of if you said, you know what percentage of people are absolutely a thing stupid twenty percent.

24:46 That's one of me. That's why, that's why the bear numbers surprises me. You know what, I think. I'm kind of with you there, but this one, this one surprises me. The next one. So seventeen percent of Americans, twenty two percent of men think they could take a chimpanzee. Next up on the list the king cobra. No, fifteen percent of Americans think they could take a king cobra in a fight, and I feel like that number should be higher. I could take a king cobra in a fight. I think I feel like I would stand a way better chance at the king cobra than most of the other animals we've mentioned. What's your tactic. I'm curious because those things are freaking fast. They're not I thought they were. Now here's the thing with cobra's. Whereas cobras don't, like a rattle steak, can strike from feet away, the cobras raise up because basically all they can do is fall over on you.

25:35 Oh, I didn't know that. I thought they struck. At They are fast as far as on the ground, but as far as their striking ability, okay, it's it's very different. And we know this from working in radio. The day that we decided to bring a cobra to the radio station to terrorize our program director, it was a great day for us. It was terrible day for Gavin. But that's when that's when I learned that, Yeah, cobras don't act strike, They just kind of fall forward. Of course, we didn't tell our boss. That, or that had been defanged, didn't tell them that either. You are so mean pretty much, aren't you glad we do this show remotely? Rebecca? Yea, thank you, I'll think, but you.

Back inside the Treehouse, Dan Trey and Rebecca coming off the Great Animal Debate, which is still shocking on so many levels. Here's one that is also shocking, but it's not really a debate. It's just a statistic that is alarming. The average date in America. The average date in America now costs one hundred and eighty nine dollars, which is up twelve and a half percent year over year.

28:03 Now that's crazy to me and Rebecca. You and I have been out of the dating pool for a very long time. I have not been on a first date since two thousand and nine. Trey, you are in a relationship, but it is new, which means you've been on a first date in the last year. How do you remember how much your first date with Brandy cost? First date wasn't that? Here's the big X factor on this whole subject is alcohol. But I that that number doesn't surprise me at all. Like, you go on a date, dinner, a few drinks, Yeah, you're easily going to be and you throw in tip, maybe go to a second bar, have another round of drinks. You're easy at that. You bucks.

29:01 I think the first date I had with Brandy, neither one of us drank, so it was probably, you know, still seven eight bucks forty five dollars. Yeah, okay, because I'm assuming you went to a decent restaurant. I'm sure you get actually to like someplace crazy fancy, but it's not like you took her to Applebee's. Actually we went to this, uh, this great little Mexican joint called the Villa's and but still you get a couple of you know, ordered some caeso and a couple of entrees you're still looking at and with tip, I probably close to sixty bucks.

29:41 I mean still, that's a lot better than you know, nearly two. Hundred f sixty is more normal than one hundred and eighty. Like, yeah, but that's no drinks like eighties, like. Anniversary type date like Milestone, right? Or am I just that old and cheap? I think Trey's right. I think it's a combination of age. Yeah, and that's how long it's been since we've been out on a early in the relationship date. Think about it, especially if you have drinks, like a drink right now, and this is why restaurants and bars are going under so fast. A drink right now probably averages any place you go. I mean, beer is probably going to be seven eight bucks. A mixed drink is probably going to be around fourteen. Yeah, so you throw in to a piece, you're now at another sixty bucks and that's just one spot.

30:41 Sorry, daters, that sucks. Oh, it's it's yet another reason I love, Yes, yes, our budget loves being married. Right. Look, look, if we're being honest, dating's always been expensive. It's just I think with the times that we're living in and training. You and I've talked about this a lot, everything's getting more expensive, but wages haven't necessarily kept up, So everything is more expensive and feels more expensive because we're not all making the same money we were. So like when I went last went on a first date in two thousand and nine, Well, no, I was poor then too, So.

31:23 No, what listen, it's it's the biggest thing is after COVID and all these places got shut down, then everyone came back, and you have a combination of people trying to make their money back from being shut down and inflation. At the time, prices skyrocketed. And now they haven't, you know, as no one thought they would. They haven't come back down. And but yeah, no, it is ridiculously. I spent I got takeout there's from a Mexican place around me that I hadn't been to before. Ordered some Caeso chicken, flottas and chips and salsa. Okay, I went and picked it up.

32:06 No delivery, okay, forty five dollars. No. Give me that. Give me that order again. Queso Chicken floutas and. Chips and salsa chips with a fifteen percent tip forty five dollars. This is where I'm like Costco Costco hot dog dollar fifty with a soda. Ultimate date, Sam's better hot dog? Oh, I like Sam's too. Don't get either one either. Hot dog is delicious for me. I will take either. Oh why aye, ladies, if you want, if you want him to put a ring on it, you go on that first date, go on that first date, and you just let you focus on the chemistry. Yeah, and not worried, not worried about all the other crap. Then that's yeah, what happened to like.

32:53 The coffee first date where you're just going and you're getting coffee and it costs you, like less than twenty dollars and you get to know each other? What happened to that? So that's where I'm wondering if maybe this study might be a little off because different people have different ideas of a first date. Yeah, So. Is your actual first date when you actually go and get the cup of coffee or do you consider your first real date to be the time you go out after you've had the cup of coffee? Yeah? I think the coffee is more of a meet and get to know you, not really a date. That's what dating is like. The coffee the coffee date is sort of a pre date.

33:35 Yeah, but you got to remember though, most people dating now, if you're thinking about going back to when we were in our twenties, that was you probably met in a bar and so you actually hadn't met and then you know, maybe yeah, you consider that a first date. Now most of them are meeting online, so the first interaction is more of a let's go someplace in public and let's feel each other out. So that's where I think the coffee is. The let's get a cup of coffee comes into play. And I wonder if if that and this is kind of going back to like a gen Z type mindset I'm imagining, actually no any age group, because you meet people these days. You meet people these days more commonly online, so it's usually through a dating app or whatever. So a lot of the stuff you might talk about on a coffee date you're talking about via text through the app or actual text through your phone. So maybe so the first time you meet up, you don't need the coffee date, so you go straight to dinner in a movie or whatever for a few hours, so that that could be why the first date. Another reason why the first date is more expensive because you're skipping over certain you know, earlier dates.

34:48 Chances are a first date if if you like the person, especially for guys, you're going to try to show off a little bit, take into someplace memorable, and and you have a memorable night. Memory cost is so memorable. I'm wither Rebecka on that. One, like I would remember that forever. And honestly, it's like, it doesn't have to be, you know, a Costco or a Sam's hot Dog date night. Oh, but you can find the date that is sort of your red flag green flag date. It's a litmus test date, so it's your standard thing. I'm gonna see if this person is really my person by taking them to what I think they're either gonna love or hate. If they hate it, then we both know that there's no reason for date number two. If we both love it, then green flags all around and everyone eats a hot dog.

35:37 That was listen the Old Loon. That was my best first date spot because either they girls would turn up their nose and be like ooh, or if they sit down and enjoy it. They're like, oh, the food's great, and you know it's a strong drink and a good time. That was a great litmus test. Those days are long. Gone, I know. I think it's wild that everybody expects the first date to be just something ridiculous and insane and spend all of this money. And I'm like, you're not here for the food. You're here to get to know somebody else. That's what it should be about, not all the other stuff. So what does it matter where you're at. Right. Unless maybe you really are just out for a free meal. I mean, which I have definitely heard some ladies do that, trying to get the most expensive meal they can possibly get and eat free.

36:23 For a week. So yeah, but you know what, for for every ten of those, there's there's gonna be one guy that's doing the same thing. Haha. Turn the tables on your lady, I. Mean, and it is probably it's probably a good lesson. It is all probably overboard. And if you're a guy, you know, taking them to someplace just normal. Yeah, and again if they turn up their nose at it, then you know, all right, she's gonna be a high maintenance pain in the ass. Like, Yeah, you could easily do Chili's, Olive Garden, any of the regular eating establishments. They don't have to be the fanciest of the fancist. Oh and I'm just thinking about what I might have accomplished if I had taken my wife to Olive Garden on our first date. Oh wait, no, she's given me the scal I forgot she worked there for many, many years.

37:11 That would have been bad. I was about to ask if your first date with your wife is it a step up from Olive Garden or was it a step down from Olive Garden? It was definitely a step up as far as as far as I'm trying to think of the word. You're trying to think of the word because she's in the room show. Yes, tray is correct. No, it is not correct. No, Oh, you have to be all careful around the wife right now. No, it's because I can't think of the exact word I want. What I'm trying to say is this, for our first date, it was better than Olive Garden. It had more pizazz than Olive Garden, but we still it was actually cheaper than Olive Garden.

37:56 Oh okay, so. Here's what I was able to do. I had for our first date. I had just started working at one O five to three the Fan. So for our first date, we went to a Frisco Roughriders game. Oh fun, tickets free from the radio station. That's great and better than Olive Garden. And the tickets that we got came with a pregame buffet at inside the Diamond Club, which also included hot dogs. So more pizazz than Olive Garden, yeah, but cheaper. I like it. Well done, Yeah, well done, Dan, good. Job, thank you very much. So on you Tree and you know what on YouTube, Rebecca for dog piling whatever, I'll take it.

38:41 I don't care. That that that to me. I think that that was. To me. That's kind of an all time first date because, like I said, you get to have something like a fun, memorable experience and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg, which is great because I had just gotten that job. So I mean, I was just coming off of unemployment. You needed some help, and so it worked out. Yeah yeah, and then I got choked and then I got choked out by the mascot. Oh nice on purpose. Well not on my part, that's what I mean. I had brought a blanket just in it May. It was May fourth, two thousand and nine, and so I didn't know if it was going to be cold, so I brought a blanket just in case. And then one of the mascots came over and then, I guess was making fun of me, picked up the blanket that was sitting on the seat next to me and put it over me as if to say, oh, you must be cold, and in doing so.

39:37 Was cutting off the circulation into my neck. So technically I got choked out on my first date with my wife, just you know, not by her. That was the second date. I knew you'd have something. Hang, I'm curious, Rebecca, what was your first day with your husband? It technically was like on Valentine's and it was in the afternoon, early lunch at Louby's. I paid. By the way, Oh, there need to be there need to be statues in honor of your husband. He loves loubies. We love lubies.

40:20 Well, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying the fact that a late lunch at Louby's and you paid for it, and you guys are married. Yep, we've been married for God it'll be almost in nineteen years, twenty years. Yeah, yeah, your husband, Oh my god, he is. Well. I don't think we've yeah, I don't know if we've ever done this inside the Treehouse, but I think it's time that we goat our first person, and it is mister black. Oh thank you for saying that. That's not his last name. He hates it when he gets called mister Black.

41:01 Well, I don't want to piss him off. Because any man, any man that takes a potential, any man that takes a date to Lubies when the sun is up and is not to be messed with. Yeah, wow, what did you say, Trey and gets her to pay and get her to pay, Yeah, I paid. That's right. It's a player. He was that day, that day. One time. Uh huh. That's all it takes, man, One time. All it takes is one ring to forever be known as a champion, and that is your husband. For all things Treehouse Treehouse on air dot com.
