Getting older sounded a lot cooler when we were kids... right?

On this episode of The Treehouse Show, Trey celebrates another birthday, which sparks a conversation about whether adulthood and aging turned out anything like we imagined. Spoiler alert: probably not.

Then we fully embrace our inner nerds and break down the biggest announcements from San Diego Comic-Con, including the newest Marvel reveals, upcoming movies, and the hidden meaning behind Deadpool's mysterious gray-blue costume that has fans theorizing all over the internet.

During Celebrity Birthdays, we look back at Elizabeth Berkley's incredible rise after Saved by the Bell—and how one movie dramatically changed her career. We also celebrate Pat Morita, wondering if Mr. Miyagi ever got paid what he truly deserved for becoming one of the most beloved movie mentors of all time.

And because no episode is complete without a trip to Florida... a Florida preacher is suing OpenAI after ChatGPT allegedly didn't do exactly what he expected. We'll explain the bizarre lawsuit and why it has everyone talking.

If you love pop culture, Marvel, weird news, celebrity stories, and laughing at life's absurdity, welcome to The Treehouse Show.

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 warriors outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with Trey Trendholm. Coming up on today's show. It's one of my favorite birthdays of the year. Coming up inside Birthdays Inside the Treehouse later today. Also, I think it's very important that you know, we ended the week last week with a very very big discussion about the Avengers Doomsday trailer, and then over the weekend all the Marvel stuff happened at Hall h and I didn't see a bunch of it, but luckily Trey has, so he's going to enlighten me.

0:59 If you love what you hear here today, do us a favor, Share the show with a friend, Hit that share button from your favorite listening platform, send it to a friend, post it on social media, and together let's grow the Treehouse show. Okay, Trey, film me in what did I miss? What did I miss at Hall h over the weekend from the Marvel extravaganza? Oh what did you miss? So? The funniest part probably is uh, Deadpool made an appearance at the I'm guessing it was a comic con thing, but it was at the The Avengers Doomsday. They had all the stars out there, I think except for uh Hensworth, and you know, they call on the guy with the swords, you know, to ask a question, of course, and it's Ryan Reynolds dressed it's Deadpool, but not in the actual Deadpool costume. He is in a denim Deadpool costume.

2:11 Ah, okay, hang on, I believe I've got this for us here, Yeah, here we go. So yeah, Robert Downey Junior's got the microphone on the stage, He's got Chris Evans behind him, ruffle all the people behind him from the cast, and then he points out to the crowd where. A denim Deadpool is awaiting. Who's this guy with the swords and stuff.

2:54 It's pretty cool moment because if I'm surprised at that moment when they show Deadpool in the crowd and everyone might be thinking because it's not the first time that they've had something like this happen where the actual actor who plays the character is in the crowd, but there's still some question about it, like, oh, is it him? Is it not so? And then when he pulls the microphone out and you hear his voice. I'm surprised he didn't get swarmed right then and there. Here's the amazing thing is and he posted this to his run Reynolds his own social media. He was out on the floor of Comic Con in this outfit for about an hour. No one he wasn't really talking, so no one knew it was him. But he's taking pictures with everyone and all this stuff, and of course now everyone's going to go back and go, holy shit, I got a picture with Ryan Reynolds. But the nerds lost their mind on this because what does that mean? Great Deadpool?

3:52 What does that mean? Oh my god? And then they start going off all these series. He's Canadian there there, and maybe maybe that is something that's been lost that there was a joke with us and years ago something called the Canadian tuxedo, which is all denim. Head to toe, mm hmm. On his social media he says, oh, you know, yeah, it's Canadian tuxedo Deadpool out. So there's no hidden meaning, there's no this isn't this isn't an easter egg for doomsday. It's a joke. Yeah. Do you think that the downfall of Victor von Doom is Denim.

4:34 Yeah, he's gonna be so so aghast at what Deadpool is wearing. That he's just gonna forget everything and they're gonna beat him. Yeah, and he actually mentions it here in the hall. Ah huge fan, look at that cast. I thank you. I'm not wearing the Doom mask over this mask because I didn't want to ruin the lines of my Canadian time. My name is Ricky. That's a mononym like cher or Madonna, and I'm just hostplaying hard.

5:16 It's great dead Bull. No it's not. It's Canadian tuxedo dead Bull. It's Ryan Reynolds, you know, being actually pretty funny. So and that's and it's interesting because in watching the trailer last week, Deadpool was not in it, and so this was a nice reminder that he is in the movie in some way, and I can't wait for that. That's that's another angle on the. Whole movie that I can't wait for, which is to see Ryan Reynolds Deadpool in the middle of all these heroes and just to see basically the Shenanigans.

5:56 Well, and from everything I've seen, because so they announce like phase seven and eight and everything coming up obviously because he said after Deadpool and Wolverine he would not do another Deadpool, and we all joked that they will back up the cash truck col enough, and especially after you know, the whole thing with he and his wife and the lawsuit with the movie and ever, they kind of got their image tarnished a little bit. So, uh, I'm sure the stupid amount of money that they backed up to pay him for doing another Deadpool. But I've seen it's Deadpool and Spider Man, and I've seen it's just Deadpool. I don't know, but. So what did so what did Marvel and Veila in the phases seven and eight? Did it include? Because I haven't seen this, did it include Deadpool?

6:41 The three? Four? I guess it'd be I guess four. There's a Deadpool an X men, Ryan Gosling ghost Rider. I did see that yesterday as I was going to bed doing my doom scrolling that it was made official that Ryan Gosling is the new ghost writer. Black Panther three, with Talla's son a guy taking over, So they're not gonna do the chick Black Panther. It's gonna be another another guy. And then then you get lost what are the so said another Wolverine movie. And so now I'm curious, is it, Hugh Jackman, Are they gonna because there's an X Men movie, Are we gonna do a whole new cast? Are we gonna try to, you know, do the Cherry patric X Men?

7:40 You know what, you better start getting uh Professor X's stuff done in batches, like you had to do with stan Lee's cameos, because man, Patrick Stewart, I mean, he's old, and like, if you want these guys to keep doing stuff, I mean, either you're gonna have to like AI version them. They've also they've killed Xavier. They've killed Patrick stews Xavier twice. I mean, how many more times they think? I forgot? I saw someone do a little of all the characters that they've somehow killed and have come back. But it's an impressive, impressive thing. I saw what thing where there's gonna And one of the things I was told after the Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness, whatever the hell it was, was that the Scarlet Witch was dead.

8:37 Mm hmm. But now they said there's a Scarlet Witch, and now I've seen that it's a Scarlet Witch movie or it's going back to WandaVision and the WandaVision type show that or whatever. I've seen two reports. I don't know which one, but yeah, I'm I'm very confused as to that. And because there's gonna from what I saw, there's gonna be another Wolverine movie, and there's an X Men movie. What do we get? What are we getting here? Yeah? Are we gonna have.

9:18 A new X Men, new x Men, new Wolverine or I mean Jackmans can still pull it off, but the rest of them, because especially fom Knjensen can't do Jean Gray anymore and that's actually one of the kind of essential characters in X Men, so they need and I from what I understand, she's gonna be in and there's gonna be a new uh Jean Gray Phoenix in Doomsday. But there's so much speculation, you. Don't know, right, And there's also a speculation that the actress Sadie Sink from Stranger Things, Yes, it's gonna be in the New Spider Man movie, is gonna be the Gene Gray and that it ca is getting introduced in the New Spider Man movie. You know, this week basically or next week whatever it.

10:05 Is, which if you're if you're if you're a comic book nerd, And like I said, X Men was as close as I ever came to be a comic book nerd. Jean Gray was one of those you know, they didn't do her do a lot with her in the X Men movies because she was actually one of the more most powerful of the mutants. So it's yeah, it all looks good. It looks like they've got some really good good stuff coming up. But you ask a great question, which is what version of X Men are we going to get? Because we had the first batch, you know, with Patrick Stewart and a younger Hugh Jackman and you know, Halle Berry, and then you got the Days of Future Past cast, which was the younger version on a different timeline. So now are they crossing them over some or are we going to get a brand new X Men? Because I do know at the end of the Marvel's movie you had Kelsey Grammer back as Beast in one of the cut scenes.

11:09 Right, and he's he is definitely in doomsday. Yeah, So I just I'm with you, man, I don't know, and I do, but one thing I do know is if they do recast everything, then we're gonna have all the hoopla again over who who who do we think is right to play Wolverine? And keep in mind, a bunch of people didn't think Hugh Jackman was a good choice. They're like, he's too tall and he's too thin and blah blah blah. And then you saw him do it and you're like, holy shit, this guy's good and now you're thinking, well, who can replace him as wolf Man? I have no idea. Uh, well, they've killed Wolverine twice, I think, mm hmmm. I mean, I guess you you have a lot of leeway with with timelines, but damn uh because I think actually they killed Patrick Stewart three times, because they killed him in one of the X Men movie and then in Logan and in Doctor Strange.

12:09 Yeah, that's right. So it's amazing. I'm curious about it, that's for sure. I'm excited for the new movie to come out. I'm excited to see all these things come together and if they actually pull it off. But the other thing I'm excited about, And while I didn't see a ton of the Marvel stuff over the weekend, I did see something else that also happened around Hall h I believe, and that was the unveiling of the Spaceball's phases. Look, I've already had high hopes for the new Spaceball's movie, right, I am hoping beyond hope that it is good, and we just we won't know until it comes out, right, but based on at least a little bit of the promotion that they've done so far, my hopes are still pretty high. So Spaceballs managed to spoof the entire Marvel DC phase stuff in their own way, and it was really really, it's really funny. So you start with Spaceball's the New One, and then you slide over into Spaceball's The Schwartz Awakens, and then that'll lead into Spaceball's The Franchise Menace, and then there's also around twenty thirty two ish you'll get

13:39 Dark Helmet Origins a Spaceball story, and then after that, at some point they don't know when you'll get Dark Helmet Origins too, even younger, and then in twenty thirty you get Spaceballs whin a Bago Knights, along with in twenty thirty one Baseball Super Duper Secret Wars, and then in Phase two you get Dark Helmet Origins three the Youngest, and then sometime after that Dark Helmet Origins Origins where it all began.

14:23 Oh my god, it's so brilliant. I love it. There was more than that. There there was yeah, and then a yogurt won and yeah, you get yogurt so coming out in twenty thirty three, Yogurt Schwartz and all and then and then I think this may be my favorite part. For the Spaceball saga. In two thousand and eight, you'll get Spaceballs the animated series, and then now you'll get Spaceballs the Animated series, reboot someday Spaceballs the Animated Series live action, and then after that where it says, please stopped, Spaceballs the Animated series, the. Musical All next to time is a flat circle.

15:12 And then you're gonna get in twenty thirty five Heroes of Druidia, Rogue Dumb, Oh, Spaceballs for Kids. I just, oh god, it's so good. I I have to think, because mel Brooks hadn't made a movie in years, and chances are this is his last one, so I have to assume he really liked the script in order to do this. Yeah, so I have very high hopes for it. I mean that he seems to still be have all his faculties. Yeah, let's hope. Yeah.

16:09 And the fact and hell, the fact that Rick moranis came out of retirement. I have to have a feeling that getting all those people together, the script had to be good. Yeah. And you also get uh, you know Bill Pullman, who of course plays Lone Star his kid is now a bona fide actor, and he's also in the Marvel Cinematic Universe because he's the Sentinel guy from Thunderbolts. And he's also i'm assuming playing Lone Star Junior in Spaceball. So he gets the fun, he gets the fun trip of a career to be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and then also in a film that's going to rip it to shreds.

16:59 I can't wait for it. I'm so excited. In the meantime, let's just hope the new Spider Man's. Good fingers cross baby fingers all the way crossed. Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration in the Treehouse for your free roof inspection and property review called eight three three cook DFW today to get that scheduled eight three three COOKDFW.

It's not just about shingles.

17:41 Absolutely, Dan. A lot of homeowners underestimate the amount of attic heat build up that their home has, affects their AC system, affects their roof condition long term, affects just overall their home. And so when we come out we make that assessment with the homeowner, we try to educate them, make sure they have the proper ventilation. There is a calculation of this. We walk them around if they're interested in going around, we show them what their intakes look like, what their exhaust system looks like, and try to make the best fit for their home. So that's a very common thing that we do, and it should be done every time you have construction done at your property. You need to be educated on what's happening and why. And if you've ever dealt with a roofing contractor that didn't have a conversation with you about ventilation underneath that roof, then you need to call Daniel Cook at eight three three Cook DFW.

Before we jump into birthdays, I wanted to mention one other thing about Spaceball's The New One. One of the last slides that they had posted over the weekend was Baseball's the New One. The almighty Schwartz saga ass that don't underneath it. They have an important note that says nothing is canon. Everything is canon, and that's canon.

19:59 I cannot wait for that movie. Yeah. Twenty twenty seven. Man, it's going to be a fun year, all right. Today is Tuesday, July twenty eighth, twenty twenty six. Let's celebrate today. What's some birthdays? Celebrating a belated birthday, our very own Trey Trendhole, just a couple of days ago turned is it fifty two? Yep, you don't look. At you look great, buddy years fifty two years young? Yeah, something like.

20:41 That, isn't it? Isn't it a kick in the balls to think back to when you were in your twenties? And or maybe this was just me. I don't know if you did this, but when I was in my twenties, I would occasionally think ahead to be like, I wonder what it's going to be like when i'm such and such age. It's hard to wrap my brain around the age of fiftyfty two when I'm twenty two. But now that you're fifty two, I'm like, you know, I'm not because you're a little bit older than me. I'm not, you know, dreading it the way that I probably would have when I was younger, probably partly because I'm not that far behind you, and it's like, hey, if I make it to fifty two, that's that's doing good. It's a privilege to age.

21:21 This is nothing like Hio I imagined it would be. But I have no one to blame but myself for that, So. I will say that. And then part of this is Hollywood's fault, you know. Being quote unquote middle aged, I was really expecting flying cars and things. I would say flying cars are one of the few things that we really have thought we would get by now, and they're slowly coming along. But yeah, I would say that. It's I think probably the most fascinating thing, if we really look back on it, is our concept of aging has changed so dramatically because our parents, and especially our grandparents, you were tired at fifty five and you basically did nothing. No, some people, a few people traveled. But you can go back and look at cook Like I said, the cast of Cookoo Wilford Brimley, I think was forty nine or fifty when they filmed Cocoon. They all looked old. You look at some of the Golden girls, they were all in their late forties early fifties. It just none of us look like that, which thank god. Yeah, and I think we, you know, at some point figured out that, you know, maybe you officially retire, but like if you just quit doing stuff, you're just you're gonna die.

22:54 Yeah, yeah, I mean part of it is a sad realization that when you reach fifty five, when I reach fifty five, retirement is not going to be an option that is not on the table. Whereas, like you said, for our grandparents and for our grandparents, yeah, that was kind of like the age, like you hit fifty five, it's like, boy, it's time to hang them up. We're in retirement stage now. But even like even our parents, you know, my dad wanted to retire at a certain point. I think, I think in his fifties is when he wanted to. But like in two thousand and eight, when the like market, like the bubble burst market crash a little bit whatever, and it set his retirement date back a few years, but he was still able to retire in his early sixties. That's not on the table for most of us. It's like we didn't, you know, make that same amount of money and things. Money doesn't go as far as he used to. But you're right, at least physically, we look a hell of a lot better.

24:02 Yeah, I mean, I mean I I made such poor decisions being an alcoholic that I, like I said, I to blame myself, and I certainly could have made choices where I don't. I can't even fathom retiring even if I could. I could certainly be doing a lot more fun things right now than what I'm doing. But it is what it is. But it's like I was talking with my stepmom yesterday, and the sad thing is, in my two years of my fifties, I have exercised more than my dad did from fifty to seventy nine when he died. And that's the other thing. And I watched it with my dad, I watched it with my mom.

24:54 Of being sedentary is just a you were writing your your own death certificate. Yeah, And that's we know so much more now about the body and aging and exercise and everything else that makes a huge difference. Yeah, it's very much a use it or lose it situation. That's true for your brain and it's true for your body. And having watched some of our previous generations decline in that way has been a good lesson for us to learn, those of us that were paying attention, Like you mentioned your mom and your dad, My grandmother like once once she like true, like full on retired.

25:39 She didn't do much. I mean, she just kind of hung out in her bedroom like she you know, a big day for her was maybe going to the grocery store. And you know, she just didn't do much. And I just it just and then at a certain point, you can't get around, you physically, can't lift yourself out of a bathtub or something. It's like man, for most of us, especially you and me, we don't want to be like that. No, you know, it's like I don't need to be you know, buff grandpa or anything like that. But my god, I I want to I don't want to be the guy in the life Alert commercial who can't get up. Yeah. That's uh. That That is the whole key of it is is keep moving. Keep like you said, keep using your brain, keep using your body, because the minute you stop, it goes it. It goes so fast it's just unbelievable. And I mean and it goes in ways.

26:40 My mom just I mean her mental and physical decline. You know, she said on her ass and watched TV. Yeah, and to the point where even as of like two three years ago, she could hardly read. She she could, she could type and you know, like and sort of. But I asked her one time to like read something and read it out loud. I couldn't do it, Jesus. And it wasn't anything. It wasn't like, you know, an article on quantum physics. It was something very simple, but that her brain had just turned to mush.

27:22 All right, well, let's celebrate some other people's birthdays. I mentioned earlier that today is uh uh. Today has a birthday that is one of my favorites each and every year. We'll get to that one shortly. The first birthdays I will mention. Afroman is fifty two, best known for his hit because I Got High. You know what, if you're going to be a one hit wonder, that's a hell of that's a hell of a one to have. And that was probably still back in the day where he's living living all right, just off one hit. Mm hmm, Like he may not necessarily like that song is not to the level of you know, Mariah Carey's All I Want. For Christmas type of situation. But I'm sure the residuals on because I got high aren't bad.

28:05 I think it's been sampled enough though that I I bet he's doing all right. Yeah. Another singer, I use that loosely. Another artist, Soldier Boys thirty six. Okay, Soldier Boy thirty six. According to the according to the description I have here from the prep service, viral music pioneer who's crank that dance became one of YouTube's earliest Internet crazes. Yeah. Oh, it's the only thing I know him from. Yeah. Lori Laughlin is sixty two. This is one of my favorite birthdays. This is one of my favorite birthdays. But it's not the ultimate birthday that I've been teasing today.

28:51 But I love Lori Laughlin. I think she's phenomenal. She has been kind of ageless as well. He's best known for Full House. But then she was also caught up, if I remember right in the scandal where they were basically like powers players of Yeah, the big tuition scandal, paying to get her and her husband's kid into Ivy League schools and stuff. That's the last thing I've heard out of her. I know one of them went to jail, and I can't remember, I don't think it was her. It was Damn, I have to look it up, but yeah, I yes.

29:35 That's my last recollection of her too, is that she got caught up in that, and at the very least I want to say she got some probation. She maybe even had to do a little bit of jail time. I think it may be right. It's been a minute since I've thought about that, but yeah, she's also if I remember this correctly, I believe her first feature film is one of my guilty pleasures from all the way back in the day in the eighties. She was in a little movie called Rad. And when I say it's a guilty pleasure movie, of mind and you know. Is a bad movie.

30:16 Yeah. So in this film called Rad, it's a kid whose dream, I guess is to be a competitive BMX racer and he starts his own company like Rad Racing, and he's got to take on the Ultimate guy from Team Mongoose played by Olympic gold medalist Bart Connerson, and the girl, the love interest in this movie, was played by Lori Laughlin and instead of a traditional love scene in the film, instead the guy and Lori Laughlin's characters go would dance, and they dance on their bicycles.

31:06 Was this film in Portland? It wouldn't surprise me they were not naked for this bike ride though. Let's go ahead. Well, now here's this. I saw this the other day and I meant to ask you about this as I was flipping through the channels. There is one channel on direct TV which a Jillian nine year like, how is that a channel? But clearly its whole purpose is just showing bad movies. How many American Ninja movies did they make? Because I'm pretty sure I saw American Ninja five in the guide. Oh wow.

31:46 So I don't know if they made a fifth one. I know they had four because the fourth one was called American Ninja four The Annihilation, and and Michael they did? Who's in it? Because there's really technically only two American Ninjas that I that I grew up with you at the original, which was Michael Dudakov, And then the next guy that I think did it in American Ninja three I believe was a new guy. So and then they were both in four.

32:27 The the truly the only name you are gonna know unless you David Bradley looks like he is he's the star. Uh. And then the only other name you're gonna know is Pat Marita. Oh yeah, mister Migi. I think at that point he had been typecast. Yeah, man, I I kind of feel bad for mister Miyagi based on the fact that he basically ceased to be Pat Marita and became mister Miyagi. This is a guy that does not sound at all like like mister Migi.

33:10 He doesn't sound like the character at all. If you didn't see his face, you would think he looked like one of us just hearing his voice. But then he did such a good, you know, stereotypical Asian Japanese man accent that that just kind of basically became what he was known for. And so when people heard him talk in his voice, they were like, how do you sound like that? He's like, I've always sounded like this. I mean, I don't feel too bad for him, because I'm sure, especially for Karate Kid two, he got a healthy check. But no, if you go back, and I mean, the only other thing I really remember Pat Marina in his happy days m h and yeah, he sounds nothing like mister Miyagi.

33:58 No, I really hope he got paid really really paid for karate Kid four because three was the one that was the girl. I believe that was Hillary Swank. And then I think they made a fourth one, but they bring back Daniel LaRusso for that one. See, now we've gone from American inn Ja five to trying to see how many American are trying to see how many karate kids they made. I know it was three. I think maybe a fourth. I'm sure he got paid for two and three pretty well, let's hope. So yeah, wait, hang on, so you had one, two, three, maybe it was okay, four was Hillary Swank. Three was Daniel LaRusso, because that's when you got the ponytail bad guy.

34:57 I remember one and two. I think I saw three of it. It does not does not state number one. Number one was the All Valley Tournament. Number two is Karate Hand. Two Daniel goes to Japan. And then three was new bad guy Terry Crane or whatever. It was, the long ponytailed guy who is Cleases like war Buddy from Nam and he was bringing back Cobra Kai and he basically beat the crap out of Daniel Russo through that one, and then you got the fourth one, which was karate Kid for the Hillary Swank version.

35:40 I have too much useless information rattling around in my brain. Oh we all do. Your ears just happens to center around really bad eighties and nineties movies. Yeah, speaking of which, let me go and throw this out. This is my favorite, one of my favorite birthdays to read every single year. Forever enshrined and remembered as Jesse Spano from Saved by the Bell. Elizabeth Berkeley is fifty four in her career, Elizabeth Berkeley has overcome caffeine addiction and getting a really good effing in a pool in Showgirls.

36:26 One of the most fascinating Hollywood careers I can think is Elizabeth Berkeley from Saved by the Bell to Showgirls. And then, well, I mean you talk about where choices? That just because she wanted to get out of the image of Jesse from Saved by the Bell. So and at the time she was a hot star, and man, she chose poorly, like if she if she if she's offered something like basic instinct. Her career trajectory trajectory totally different.

37:07 Probably, but absolutely that one. Uh, life is all of life is all about choices. Yeah, and clearly she didn't read the script to show Girls or was so used to can't be saved by the bell scripts. Thought it was good. Yeah, she may have. It is weird though, when you think about it, because when you think about the other people that were in Showgirls that I that I recall, right, the main three people that I remember from the movie, You've got Elizabeth Berkley, I think, Gina gershon and the guy was Kyle McLoughlin.

37:50 Didn't hurt Kyle McLoughlin's career at all. That dude has been a Hollywood mainstay. Gina Gershaan, she's I don't think that movie hurt her career at all, but it absolutely sunk Elizabeth Berkeley's well. Gina Gershaan already kind of she was the I would say borderline b list. I always liked her, but she was in some iffy movies, Comicgloughlin had enough of career that he could. But the thing about it is that that whole movie, it was it was all pinned on Elizabeth Berkeley. That was gonna be that was her at the time. They would call it her coming out role, like it was so much hype on that movie, and then it just bombed because it was bad. Her acting was bad. Surely somebody okay, we got to do something.

38:52 There was a screening somewhere where they're like, are we really gonna do this? Yeah? It really makes you one her about Hollywood and speaking of choices that get made, because there are movies that have been made that have never been released. Uh, but someone decided to still release Showgirls. I you know, I think they thought that again, that was at a time that was right after like Basic Instinct, and I think they thought that Elizabeth Berkeley could just be the new you know it girl, and she just it was a bad, bad script that she couldn't act.

39:37 Uh. Well, yeah, and you know, our buddy Tone Bells had been in the Looney Tunes Roadrunner movie that they're finally going to release. That's what do they actually did that? It was pre COVID. I think, yeah, it's. At that movie's old and then it just got shelved for some reason. And the and the cast in that movie is stacked, and yeah, our buddy Tone is in him. It's got John Cena and it's and it looks good at least based on the trailer. I'll tell you this much. I bet it's better than Showgirls.

40:19 If it's not Neim, we'll probably be able to get no tone on the show more. I think he may need to join the show at that point. Back inside the Treehouse, Dan and Trey a couple quick hitters before we leave for today, the first of which is a Florida man is suing Open Ai because he says that the company's chat bot chat GPT, gave him incorrect and dangerous medical advice. Oh my goodness, there's an extra special aspect.

40:59 To this story. According to the lawsuit, Scott Winters, a fifty five year old pastor, often turned to chat gpt for medical advice when he experienced health problems. The pseud alleges that chatbot eventually diagnosed him with dysautonomia, a nervous system disorder, and developed a personalized recovery plan what specific constructions for him to follow on how to heal his body. But when he had a massive pulmonary embolism in July of twenty five due to multiple blood clots in both of his lungs that brought him to the brink of death, he was pretty miffed. When it turns out that he had been misdiagnosed by chat GPT.

41:43 Man of God, trust godless machine to give him medical diagnosis? What can go wrong? And you read the story, A part of it was based on the fact because he used chat gp or. I don't know if chat GBT or open air or whatever, but he used it a lot, and so chat GPT knew he was a pastor and framed some of the answers to go along with his faith. It's like, but, yeah, what's at a certain point You've just you've you've you're now a Christian scientist two point oh where they they won't go to the doctor, but instead of so instead of going to a doctor, you've gone full circle and now you're trusting the godless you know, machine to give you medical advice. You you have no one but to blame, you know, I have no sympathy for you whatsoever, sir.

42:47 That's just so stupid. Uh yeah, what do you? What do you? What do you? How? How how are you getting? What do you say to your congregation trusting God? Well you didn't. Yeah, It's like, well, what happened to praying? Well? I just I stopped praying and just decided to ask chat GPT what it thought. Uh doctor's notes later vastly contradicted chat GPT's alleged diagnosis. The suit alleges that chat gpt went beyond its scope by providing medical advice, and that the chatbot should have escalated crisis safeguards and directed him to medical personnel. Instead, it allegedly dissuaded him from seeking that help and instead offered him unqualified diagnoses and personalized treatment plans. According to open Ai spokesperson, they said that chat gpt is not a doctor and should never be used as a substitute for medical care, diagnosis, or treatment.

43:54 Treating chatbots as the whole story behind people's medical decisions or outcomes oversimplifies a much bigger challenge and risks getting in the way of people accessing powerful new tools that can aid them in their health journey. And just as a side note on this story, I don't know if you in your whatever you pulled up, if it says that where he is Florida, and and you know, now we it's making me look at AI in a new a new light, because maybe AI is going to be Darwinism two point zero. It could it's gonna thin the herd yes in a totally different way.

44:42 Yeah, it's like, all of a sudden, natural selection isn't so natural. It's more self imposed. Yeah, it's self inflicted. I mean we we we fear AI that is going to take us out on a mass level. Maybe it's going to start from the bottom and work its way up and it's just going to call the herd of the idiots. And I'm a okay with that. I am absolutely here for it and I'll enjoy the show. Just make sure you document it and we get the stories. Please video at times. M like if you type in you've got a runny nose into chat GPT and it says, hey, you have a serious illness and you're going to die, and you then decide to throw yourself off of a roof to do it yourself, well then.

45:24 Okay, yeah. I mean. If you ask chat GBT, hey play me a song and it doesn't go you know where you are and you know, all of a sudden, if you're cruising through oak Cliff and it chooses n w A, You're going to die. And I'm going to enjoy the show. Thanks for hanging out with us inside the Treehouse today. Hope you enjoyed it. If you did.
