What could possibly be more terrifying than a Florida Man? A Florida Man with radioactive material.

Welcome back to The Treehouse Show, where we dive headfirst into the weirdest, funniest, and most unbelievable stories on the internet.

To start off the week, we tackle the bizarre story of a Florida man who somehow ended up with a radioactive device. How did he get it? Why does Florida apparently have an entire team dedicated to tracking down radioactive materials? And should the rest of us be concerned?

Then we discuss the unbelievable case of a 36-year-old Brazilian woman who allegedly convinced people she was a 12-year-old child and ended up getting adopted. How does something like this even happen? Could you imagine adopting an adult who claimed to be a kid? We have questions.

Plus:

  • Celebrity Birthdays
  • Dan absolutely butchers a Dick Vitale comparison
  • Trey's upcoming move
  • Do we really need smart refrigerators, Wi-Fi appliances, and every gadget connected to the internet?
  • More weird news, bad decisions, and Treehouse-style commentary
If you enjoy funny news, Florida Man stories, strange true crime, pop culture, and two guys trying to make sense of a very ridiculous world, this episode is for you.

Trey Trenholm coming up today. Moving sucks no way around it. Also,

6
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.200
if you had to guess, how many women do you

7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:39.439
think say they settled in their relationships. But first, today,

8
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:41.560
I'm going to share with you one of the most

9
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.280
frightening thoughts I have ever had, and it came from

10
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:55.039
a headline Florida man goes nuclear. This should terrify us all.

11
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.960
There are various world powers countries on this planet that

12
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.760
have access to nuclear capabilities, some that should shown, some

13
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.000
that should not. But I think we all can agree

14
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:14.519
that Florida Man should not be a nuclear entity. Just

15
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.920
not say for anyone. A Florida man is under arrest

16
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.640
after authorities say he tried to sell a stolen radioactive

17
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.239
device on Facebook marketplace, the new Craigslist.

18
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.799
I was just thinking, you know, you couldn't even do Craigslist.

19
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.400
I think Craigslist is kind of gone in most places now.

20
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.000
It's I don't know if it's even active in most

21
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:45.319
municipalities and locales anymore. But yeah, Facebook marketplaces where you

22
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:51.760
get all the former Craigslist stuff. Investigators say they got

23
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.280
a tip about the listing in late May. The device,

24
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.359
a moisture density gauge used in construction, can haynes a

25
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.719
small amount of radioactive material and is strictly regulated. Florida

26
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.360
State troopers set up a meeting with the seller, but

27
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.599
when he didn't show, they went to his house because

28
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.000
you know, law.

29
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.719
Enforcement, because it's using and you know where they live.

30
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.319
Yeah that helps. Yeah, it wasn't difficult for them to

31
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.560
find him. They just figured let's get him out. Let's

32
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.080
get him out in public, out in the open, and

33
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.400
a controlled environment kind of thing, make it seem legit

34
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.680
as opposed to just raiding his home, which could be

35
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.680
full of all sorts of nasty stuff. So I get

36
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.960
the strategy there. But when he didn't show up, they

37
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:41.639
had to then go find him. Using specialized equipment. They

38
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.759
detected radiation from outside the house and later found the

39
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.840
device inside. Official say the equipment, worth up to twenty

40
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:54.560
thousand dollars, was still intact and safely recovered. Twenty four

41
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.919
year old Marco Antonio Benitez Junior now faces charges including

42
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.120
grand theft and he'll legal possession of a radio of

43
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:08.039
a radiation device. I I don't I've never been to jail.

44
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.879
I've never been to prison. I don't know what certain

45
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.120
crimes give you any credibility inside or not. I have

46
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.639
no idea, but I feel like you're probably gonna be

47
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.240
the only guy in that prison that is there for

48
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.800
trying to sell a radioactive device. So I mean that's

49
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.120
got to count for something, right.

50
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.240
I mean if they give if they give style point,

51
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:32.680
then yeah, absolutely.

52
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.120
Huh.

53
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.439
Authorities say mishandling the device could have posed serious health risks,

54
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.479
including radiation exposure. So no shock there.

55
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.680
Hey Mike, Mike, My question.

56
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.520
Is, uh huh h.

57
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.159
Why aren't we looking at it as to how he

58
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.840
got his hands on said device?

59
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:56.840
Where? Where?

60
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.560
What are we missing regulation wise that that that's floating

61
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.439
about that Florida man could get his hands on it.

62
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.360
Let me see if I can answer that for you.

63
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.159
The investigation began May twenty six, Hey, it's my anniversary.

64
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.759
After fhp's Bureau of Criminal Investigations and Intelligence received a

65
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.920
tip about a private party's sale of the device on

66
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.199
Facebook marketplace. Investigators made the arrangement to buy the thing.

67
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.720
Then they did through all the steps that you and

68
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:31.199
I found troopers with the agency's Preventative Radiological Nuclear Detection Unit.

69
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.279
Holy god, Florida has that? Do we have that in Texas?

70
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.639
Or is that a Florida specific unit?

71
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:45.240
I you know, I'm sure there's some secret organization in

72
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:46.879
Texas that keeps an eye on these.

73
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:47.480
At least I.

74
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:54.920
Hope troopers with the agencies Preventative Radiological Nuclear Detection Unit

75
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.000
found the device inside the residents. The agency of the

76
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.839
device still intact, blah blah blah. I told you that,

77
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.399
I actually And now because I went from one place

78
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.079
when I first told you about the story, now I'm

79
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.879
on a Sarasota television station's website, and Trey, you bring

80
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.240
up a great question. I don't see anywhere in this

81
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:22.040
story that it says how mister Benitez Junior got his

82
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.040
hands on this thing.

83
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.000
You know, it's like, I mean, hell, even with with

84
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.560
like TABC, you stamp bottles of liquor so they can

85
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.680
ultimately trace it where it came from. Surely with nuclear devices,

86
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.759
we have some some tracing technology on it.

87
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.399
Because you said it's using construction.

88
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.560
Yeah, FHP said. The gauge is typically used to measure

89
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.560
the density and inner structure of materials, including moisture levels

90
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.000
and soil and asphalt.

91
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.680
So, yeah, it's some kind of like an X ray machine.

92
00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:00.680
Yeah, but it contains CS one thirty seven, a radiological isotop.

93
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.480
Yeah, caesium. Yeah. So yeah, you know, I just.

94
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.560
I would certainly like to think that as a as

95
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.120
a nation, as a whole, and as a state like Florida,

96
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.879
that we have a better handle on where these things are.

97
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:17.680
Yeah.

98
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.360
I don't know if this could be made into some

99
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.519
kind of of dirty bomb, weapons grade anything.

100
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:22.279
But.

101
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.079
Let's let's all strive to keep keep a hand better

102
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.160
tabs on our nuclear stuff.

103
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.439
Yeah, let's not. Let's not allow radiological isotopes to get

104
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.759
into the hands of twenty four year old Florida men.

105
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.399
Yeah, you know, I'll I won't just pin this on Florida.

106
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.040
I'll go ahead and say Texas.

107
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.079
Guy's too, Louisiana, especially anywhere in the South.

108
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:47.199
Let's let's not.

109
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.120
Yeah, I don't I don't want a Cajun caesium deal.

110
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.560
No, because happen the first time, first time LSU loses,

111
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:58.959
that's that goes off.

112
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:00.560
Yeah. No, doubt.

113
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.800
I'm just going to make some grand assumptions here. Since

114
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.839
this is used in some types of construction, I'm going

115
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.439
to assume he worked for a construction company that used

116
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.319
this thing, and I imagine he stole it from the

117
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.399
company he worked for.

118
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.720
That's my guess, and it's Florida.

119
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:22.160
He may not have known what like you know, the

120
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.000
big yellow stickers mint.

121
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:35.439
He doesn't really understand the radiological biohazard emblem, you know what,

122
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.600
You're right. He may not know that that's a dangerous insignia.

123
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.560
He may just think it's sort of like an American

124
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:47.720
version of dollar signs. I'm glad they caught him, and

125
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.120
I learned something new today which I did not expect,

126
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.279
and that is, of course, that Florida has its own

127
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.600
bureau dedicated to radiological nuclear detection.

128
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.480
Good on them. Yeah.

129
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:09.279
See what scares me is this. And as much as

130
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.439
law enforcement wants to be proactive, at the end of

131
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.879
the day, it's a reactive thing. Right, something bad happens,

132
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.879
you called nine to one one then come to help, Right,

133
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.199
It's very difficult for law enforcement to be proactive, otherwise

134
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.240
you end up with something called Minority Report. The movie

135
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.279
I like Okay, we thought you were going to murder someone,

136
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.800
so we you wretched you for the murder didn't happen.

137
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.000
What I'm getting at is this, if there is a

138
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:36.840
unit dedicated to preventing radiological nuclear devices getting in the

139
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.799
hands of the public, that means someone did it, and

140
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.879
there were enough people that have done it to where

141
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.759
Florida Highway Patrol felt the need to have an entire

142
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.159
unit dedicated to it. Makes sense. That's frightening to me,

143
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:55.759
That's what I'm saying.

144
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.120
There we go. Yeah.

145
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:04.960
Meanwhile, while Florida is working on its own nuclear weapon,

146
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.720
there is a woman in Brazil who tried to get adopted.

147
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.840
And now, before you make a bunch of judgments on this,

148
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.159
hear this lady out. Authorities say a thirty seven year

149
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.720
old woman successfully posed as a twelve year old girl

150
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.679
for more than a year in order to be adopted

151
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:30.000
by an unsuspecting family. Investigators say Amanda Maria Susa to

152
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.799
Oliviera first gained trust through a church claiming she was

153
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.320
an abused child, and she eventually was taken in by

154
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:40.240
a local family who believed her story. To keep up

155
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.039
the ruse, she reportedly acted like a child, using a

156
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.120
pacifier to relax, speaking in a high pitched voice, and

157
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.519
faking night terrors, convincing the family she needed care. For

158
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.279
the record, twelve years old is way too old for

159
00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.240
a passy.

160
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.879
But you how did you become an expert on that?

161
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.679
Because my wife is a child development expert. My ex

162
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.840
wife is a speech language pathologist, and they both said

163
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.879
at a certain point, children should not have passes. I

164
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.200
know you're trying to go for me being pegged type situation,

165
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.960
but I'm not going to allow it right here. I

166
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.440
was not a baby tray.

167
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:26.519
More of a ballgag joke.

168
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.840
A ballgag is different from a passy tray, That's what

169
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:33.679
I've been told.

170
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:37.600
Better.

171
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.559
Yeah, it doesn't affect your speech that way, or it

172
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.799
doesn't affect your motor function of your mouth the way that.

173
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.559
Never mind, I'm speaking too much here anyway, she convinced

174
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.000
the family she needed care. She also claimed to have

175
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.519
been given hormones as a young child, which explained why

176
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:59.039
she appeared to look much older than twelve. I can't

177
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.039
wait for this documentary on Netflix. The deception went on

178
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.960
for fourteen months. Fourteen months, You've got a thirty seven

179
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.960
year old woman convincing a family that she was twelve

180
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.559
when and during that time, the family was planning to

181
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:22.200
legally adopt her until a suspicious relative tipped off. Police.

182
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.679
Authorities later discovered the woman had carried out similar scams before,

183
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.480
and she ultimately confessed. She now faces charges for fraud

184
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.399
and identity theft, and her lawyer is seeking a psychiatric evaluation.

185
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.960
That's probably a good idea.

186
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.320
I mean, hats off to her.

187
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:50.440
If you're thirty seven and you somehow convinced anyone you're twelve, hey,

188
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.000
you know, good on you.

189
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.879
I guess at a certain point you kind of need

190
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.240
to give a little credit because that's hard. That's got

191
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:07.840
to be hard. Here's an alternate angle. I think that

192
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:15.159
is worth exploring, just, you know, briefly, If it were

193
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:21.360
legally possible for you, as an adult to be adopted

194
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:25.519
by other adults, would you do it? And I don't

195
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.799
mean where you're posing as a twelve year old like this.

196
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.000
What I mean is, I think a lot of this

197
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.279
will look back at our childhoods for the most part

198
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.799
fondly and thank god. I miss that. I miss the

199
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.200
simpler time. I miss not having to go to work,

200
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.159
I miss not having to worry about bills. I was

201
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.399
just a kid. I just had to worry about figuring

202
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:47.279
out some homework, going outside and playing doing kid things right,

203
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.879
Because adulting is hard. Adult thing is really really hard.

204
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.120
So if there was a legal way that you could

205
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:57.240
put yourself up to be adopted by some older people

206
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:01.320
or even same age whatever, I think some people would

207
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:06.159
do it. I mean, you're basically just a kept individual.

208
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.559
I don't know what the scenarios would really look like.

209
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.000
This is more of off the top of my head,

210
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.080
kind of a sick, twisted black mirror, Twilight Zone type

211
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.399
of thought, but I think if it were legally possible,

212
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.480
I think there would be a number of people that

213
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:22.759
would that would absolutely sign up for the kid treatment. Again,

214
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.440
even as full grown adults.

215
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:26.240
I mean.

216
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:30.440
If if, if it was a plan that would that

217
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.240
would get you out of work for the rest of

218
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:33.759
your life.

219
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:38.200
Yeah, that's what I'm That's what I'm saying. I mean,

220
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.759
you really like you were, You're like, like, look for us,

221
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.279
we're not going to be pick of the littertory. We're

222
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.600
older guys, right, But if you're in your twenties and thirties,

223
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.519
it might be a little more attractive. And again I

224
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.240
don't mean this in like some sort of trafficking way.

225
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.679
I mean and like in a purely wholesome way. It's like,

226
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.399
you know what, maybe maybe there's a couple out there

227
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:01.480
or a single parent that lost a child and they're

228
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.720
now childless. Like, you know what, I would love to

229
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.840
adopt a kid. My kid would be around thirty. Now,

230
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.679
let me see what kind of thirty year olds are

231
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.759
out there looking to be adopted. And you get one

232
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.080
and everybody wins. You get a child. The thirty year

233
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.519
old doesn't have to worry about working anymore. You can

234
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.480
just be you know what you want. I really think

235
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.799
a lot of people would find that option very attractive.

236
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.080
It's just a matter of finding people that would be

237
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.200
willing to take on that, you know, quote unquote parental role.

238
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.759
Never have to work again. You could probably inherit whatever

239
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.399
they got that.

240
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:38.559
They leave you. I mean, it really didn't need to

241
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.720
be a parental role.

242
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.080
Just you know, you're older and you either he didn't

243
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.039
have kids or kids don't talk to you, and you

244
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.919
want the companionship and someone to look after you.

245
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.440
Sounds pretty good. Yeah, that beats a shit out of

246
00:14:58.440 --> 00:14:59.240
paying taxes.

247
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.879

289
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:54.039
twenty six. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Michael J.

290
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.519
Fox sixty five today, best known as, of course, Marty

291
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.559
McFly from the Back to the Future movies and probably

292
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:07.880
the world's most famous Parkinson's patient A Trey. There is

293
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.720
a show I have not watched, but I mean to,

294
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.000
and I wonder if you have. It's called Shrinking. I

295
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:20.920
think it's on Apple stars Harrison Ford, and I'm now

296
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:22.279
brain farting on his name.

297
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:24.480
Co star.

298
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:28.079
He was on How I Met Your Mother Mother Jace

299
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.799
Jason Siegel. Yes, I think he created this show. I'm

300
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.680
not sure if you're or whatever, but it's it's Jason

301
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.359
Siegel from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, How I Met Your Mother

302
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.839
him and Harrison Ford, and it's I Guess about a relationship.

303
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:44.640
It's like a group therapy type of thing. It's it's

304
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.920
a show about therapy and I guess figuring out your

305
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.400
life whatever.

306
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:53.599
It's so it's funny.

307
00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:01.119
I've actually started watching that. Yeah, Jason Siegel, his wife

308
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:02.799
has died and he's a mess.

309
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.039
He is a therapist.

310
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.640
He works for a group of at which Harrison Ford

311
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.319
is like the head therapist.

312
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:16.119
Okay, now, since you just started watching it, I don't

313
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.480
know about the rest of the cast, but I think

314
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:24.480
Michael J. Fox is in it at some point, maybe

315
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.839
in a like a recent season. I'm not sure how

316
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.400
it works. The reason I know that, or maybe it

317
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.319
was a guest spot. The reason I know that is

318
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.359
because there was a clip of the show, I think

319
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.640
from its most recent season that made the rounds on

320
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.680
social media and I saw it of Harrison Ford giving

321
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.599
the speech and it was very moving and it was beautiful.

322
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:50.720
It was beautifully written, perfectly acted, and it's Harrison Ford's

323
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.480
character talking to like this group therapy session, and his

324
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:59.039
character has been diagnosed with Parkinson's And in this episode,

325
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:01.559
I think Michael J. Fox, if he's not a full

326
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:04.839
on recurring character on the show, it's a guest spot

327
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.799
for him, but I think he's in this scene. And

328
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.720
part of what makes it so poignant is you have

329
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:15.160
Harrison Ford giving this very emotional speech, having this disease

330
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.799
with Parkinson's in front of Michael J.

331
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:18.279
Fox.

332
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.680
And word is that almost every word of that speech

333
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:26.359
that he gives is a speech that Michael J. Fox

334
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:32.960
gave to his cast and crew on Spin City. So

335
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:34.799
I mean, if if you got a couple of minutes,

336
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.000
dig it up on social media. It's really great stuff.

337
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:39.640
And the reason why I brought it up is, of course,

338
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:44.160
Michael J. Fox Today's birthday. He's sixty five, and I

339
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:45.799
think he's a national treasure.

340
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:53.759
Alex P. Keaton, Marty McFly. It's actually.

341
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:02.960
Actually tragic that he, uh, his career got cut so

342
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:04.599
short because of Parkinson's.

343
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:07.400
Yeah, because it was on spin City, which was a

344
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.920
great show on its own as well. I loved Spin City.

345
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.400
Uh it was during that show when he got diagnosed,

346
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:15.319
and then that was part of what caused that show

347
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:20.000
released his role on it to end. And it was

348
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.559
interesting also that he shares a birthday with somebody else

349
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.440
that I think that they are actually very connected. So

350
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:31.759
Spin City was sort of a comic version of the

351
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:36.240
movie to me, of the movie The American President or

352
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:38.759
The West Wing, because.

353
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.319
I think before all of those.

354
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:47.279
I thought was it Yeah, No, I thought Spin City

355
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:50.400
was after he did. I thought Spin City was after

356
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:56.519
he did The American President. Almost positive, because that's I

357
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:57.680
think we got him that role.

358
00:21:58.440 --> 00:21:58.559
Uh.

359
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:00.480
Anyway, the way the reason I bring that up is

360
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.440
because Aaron Sorkin is sixty five today. He's the creator, writer,

361
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.119
and creator of The American President and the West Wing

362
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.319
and a Few Good Men. For those that don't know,

363
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.640
he actually wrote the play A Few Good Men and

364
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.759
then turned around and wrote the screenplay for it. Aaron

365
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:20.640
Sorkin also sixty five. So those two guys share a birthday.

366
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.119
I'm gonna guess they happened right on top of one

367
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:26.200
another because American President was ninety five, Spin City was

368
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:26.799
ninety six.

369
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.559
I don't know that you would have enough to like.

370
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.720
The West Wing started after that. I do know that

371
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:36.880
West Wings started in like ninety eight, ninety nine, two thousand,

372
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.319
somewhere in that vicinity. But yeah, so you had birthday boys,

373
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.640
Michael J. Fox Aaron Sorkin sharing the same birthday, same age,

374
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:49.720
doing west doing the American President. Then Michael J. Fox

375
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:52.559
sort of was able to parlay that role into Spin City,

376
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:54.680
which is a great show. Happy birthday to them other

377
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:59.599
birthdays today. Natalie Portman forty five. It's amazing how she

378
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.880
was a to not have any Star Wars stink on her.

379
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.960
And I don't mean that's not an excuse to like

380
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:09.680
drag the prequels what I mean is like a lot

381
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:11.680
of people get in those Star Wars movies and sometimes

382
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:13.759
you just kind of get type cast and have a

383
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:15.359
hard time getting their way out of it. She had

384
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.160
no problems, like she did the big movies and went

385
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.640
right back to everything else that she was doing without

386
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:20.319
any issues.

387
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:23.559
Well, the funny thing about her is her.

388
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.160
The first two movies I remember her and she's kind

389
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:32.920
of the I mean she plays the Lolita from the

390
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:38.200
Professional and then a movie called Beautiful Girls.

391
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.440
Uh huh. I don't know if you've ever seen.

392
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.720
I have not seen that.

393
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.640
I'm aware of it, but I'm not a fantastic movie.

394
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:51.920
But her whole, especially in Beautiful Girls, like she's i

395
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:57.920
mean eleven twelve years old, but in both those movies

396
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.000
she kind of plays this kind of.

397
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.880
Not so innocent innocent, but not so innocent.

398
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:11.480
It's it's like a somewhat sexualized girl. And she did

399
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:13.839
a bunch of other stuff even before the Star Wars movies,

400
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:15.759
other in you know, other movies and things, and then

401
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.640
she did Star Wars. She did those. She also has

402
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:21.440
a starring role in a movie that is one of

403
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:23.759
my biggest movies. When it comes to if someone tells you,

404
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.319
what's a movie that freaked you out that's not a

405
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.119
horror movie. I see this question get asked sometimes, what's

406
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.480
a movie that freaked you out that was not a

407
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:38.200
horror slasher film? And I have two answers. One of

408
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:43.960
them starred Natalie Portman, and that was Annihilation. That's the

409
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.039
one where it's she's a female scientist and she's trying

410
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.599
to figure out what happened to her husband. He got

411
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:54.680
pulled into some mysterious visual anomaly, and things that go

412
00:24:54.759 --> 00:25:00.559
into this mysterious visual anomaly don't come out. I highly

413
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.279
recommend it, but it will freak you out. The part

414
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.119
that will freak you out, you'll know when it happens

415
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.839
and you'll be like, oh my god, I'm never gonna

416
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:11.640
hear that type of noise or see that type of

417
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.319
thing ever again, and not be freaked out by it.

418
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.880
But I highly recommend Annihilation with Natalie Portman because it'll

419
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.079
have some It's got some weird, freaky stuff in it.

420
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:24.480
How about that the other movie that would freak me

421
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:30.319
out and does to this day, Event Horizon. I saw

422
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.119
that in the theater and it jacked me up for

423
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:39.880
two hours straight afterwards. I can't remember if it came

424
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:44.000
out in the late nineties, like ninety eight, ninety nine.

425
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:49.720
Maybe somewhere in there starred Sam Neil from Jurassic Park.

426
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:56.119
I think Lawrence Fishburne might have been in it. The

427
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.880
female lead, I'm brain fighting on her name. I can

428
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:00.200
see her face, but I can't think of what her

429
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.319
name is. But that movie me up. That is a

430
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:08.279
freaky ass movie. Event Horizon another one I highly recommend.

431
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:14.200
Other birthdays today. Johnny Depp is sixty three. The opposite

432
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:16.720
of freak out movies. The Pirates of the Caribbean. Those

433
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.559
are just kind of fun.

434
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:19.519
I've never seen any of those.

435
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:22.799
I have not seen all of them. Here's the thing. So,

436
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:25.559
the Pirates of the Caribbean movies to me are similar

437
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:28.039
to the Harry Potter movies in that I have not

438
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:30.440
seen all of them. But when I try to pick

439
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.000
up one midway, I don't know which one I'm watching.

440
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:34.240
They all seem so similar.

441
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.400
Oh, I disagree with you about Harry Potter movies, but

442
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:43.279
I mean that's funny. There was a.

443
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:46.079
Marathon all weekend and I found myself watching the Harry

444
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:47.160
Potter movies quite a bit.

445
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:50.279
I need to ask you this question. Have you read

446
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:51.079
any of the books.

447
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.000
No, I'm actually once I get moved. That's actually next

448
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:58.480
on my reading list are the Harry Potter movies, because

449
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:05.039
one of the reasons why HBO is doing a Harry

450
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:09.640
Potter show is because evidently a lot of people feel

451
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:13.000
like the books left out a lot. I mean, I'm

452
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.559
sorry the movies left out a lot.

453
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:19.839
Of what the books contained. Interesting, so but I have.

454
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:24.880
I haven't anyone who has read them as said they

455
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:30.119
are fantastic books, and that is like the Tolkien books

456
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:32.279
were probably my favorite books of all time to read.

457
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.839
The reason I ask is because I am a forty

458
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.160
six year old man and I feel compelled to read

459
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:45.440
some Harry Potter. And I don't know if it's not

460
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.119
like I read in public ever, but it's just thinking.

461
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:49.920
It's like, is it weird for a middle aged man

462
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:53.920
to read Harry Potter or is it I've seen most

463
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.480
of the movies and I've liked them, and I've when

464
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:58.720
I go to the bookstore, I'll see a Harry Potter

465
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:00.599
book and think, I wonder if I should read. So I

466
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:07.079
was just wondering if it's something that other bros. Have done.

467
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.480
I had a big movie weekend this and it's a

468
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.160
lot of Harry Potter watched The Town.

469
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:19.519
That's good. It was good. I watched Hell or High Water.

470
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.559
M hmm, man, you had a good weekend despite all

471
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:23.960
the moving.

472
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:28.680
I was just packing this weekend. But uh, yeah, not

473
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:30.559
a fan of Hell or High Water. I just I

474
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:32.799
In fact, I I I didn't even finish it because

475
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:33.839
I just.

476
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.079
I just I just didn't get into it.

477
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.559
That's the train one right where they're making train tracks

478
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:42.000
and stuff.

479
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:46.319
No, it's Jeff Bridges and they're bank robbers, and uh

480
00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:46.880
it's a.

481
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:51.440
Oh oh my bad, I'm thinking of Hell on wheels.

482
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:51.960
Never mind.

483
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:54.680
Yeah, Chris Pine, that.

484
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:55.920
His name, gotcha.

485
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:56.319
Yeah.

486
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.559
Uh. Speaking of Jeff Bridges, the True Grip remake was

487
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:05.960
actually really good with him.

488
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:11.559
Other bird he's an interesting one because uh sometimes especially

489
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:14.319
like when he's he's trying to do a Texas accent

490
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:16.440
and everything else in this movie, and it greats on me.

491
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:20.000
Oh yeah, I think he's a phenomenal actor. And but yeah,

492
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.720
I mean even phenomenal actors will have a role and

493
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:24.359
be like, nah, that wouldn't hear that didn't quite hit.

494
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.640
Other birthdays today, Dick vi tal is eighty seven still

495
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:35.880
kicking it unreal, eighty seven years old. He's up there

496
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:38.359
with Abe Vigoda. He looks very similar to a Vagoda.

497
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:40.799
Dick Vital is one of those guys. It seems like

498
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:42.880
he's been old his entire life.

499
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.680
Oh yeah, I wouldn't put him in the Abe Vagoda category.

500
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:52.319
That's just cold man.

501
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:55.799
Storry to need to be a dick on your birthday.

502
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.519
Dick has been fighting cancer and everything.

503
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:01.480

524
00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:26.279
Slash Treehouse on Air mentioned it in that last segment tray,

525
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.440
you haven't moved yet, but you've begun the packing process.

526
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:32.920
You've got a handful of days left before you actually

527
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:36.480
make the physical move. How's it going. You're doing all right?

528
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:45.480
It's moving, I mean, it's it's very bittersweet.

529
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.440
I mean, I thought i'd be moving in with Brandy and.

530
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.920
Uh obviously instead you're moving on.

531
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:58.960
Yeah, instead I'm moving by myself, and uh so you know,

532
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:00.759
it's a pain in the ass.

533
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.119
I hate moving.

534
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:06.559
It's kind of good to purge all a crappy.

535
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:12.240
Collect but you know, it'll be It's.

536
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:17.440
I've had a lot of loss lately, and so it'll

537
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:18.960
probably be good to get out of this place.

538
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.359
That does make sense. It's it's somewhat clean slate feeling,

539
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:27.359
makes some new memories in a new place. But there's

540
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:30.920
no way around it. Moving sucks. There's nothing enjoyable about it.

541
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.079
The entire process is awful. It costs money and time

542
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:40.839
and it's there's the only good thing about it is

543
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:44.960
that hopefully when you move, you're moving into a either

544
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:48.160
a better place or a better situation, just so that

545
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:51.880
way there's some silver lining to all the crap you

546
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:53.400
gotta do with moving.

547
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:55.799
I am very much looking forward to the fact that

548
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:58.200
I am moving into a two bedroom, so.

549
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.240
I will have where I am now.

550
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.720
I have this set up right in my living room,

551
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:06.440
so I will be able to have a room dedicated

552
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:11.400
to the treehouse and work and it'll be acoustically better,

553
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:15.920
it will be. And also moving into a place that

554
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:22.319
has so both bedrooms have huge closets, so I will

555
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:29.759
have place to store stuff and hopefully it'll be just cleaner,

556
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:35.960
looking nicer. One of the things that's I have not

557
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:44.039
bought a washer and dryer in decades, so I'm trying

558
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.880
to find a washer and dryer I'm trying to find

559
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.440
I've actually been looking on Facebook Marketplace trying to find

560
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:50.279
just a used one.

561
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:54.200
And sure, but it's like front loading top loading.

562
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:59.440
It's just there's it's an ass whipping in and of itself.

563
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.160
It's too many options, isn't it? And you're having to

564
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:06.319
learn about the differences between top load front load digital,

565
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.480
this analog that how many settings does it have? How

566
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:12.960
many settings do you want or need? Really? All these things?

567
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:17.239
Do I need my washer and dryer to be Wi

568
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.119
Fi compatible? Is there really say? I have gone almost

569
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.360
fifty two years of my life never having to worry

570
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.559
you remotely connecting to my washer or dryer? Is that

571
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:28.719
something I really need?

572
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:32.960
I'm with you, brother, between that and refrigerators saying like

573
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:37.519
it's like Bluetooth capable. I envision your imagine this tray.

574
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:41.519
Imagine you're on a first date with somebody and you're

575
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.280
making small talk. Do you think at any point if

576
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.239
you pulled out your phone and told her you know

577
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:49.679
what I can do? I can I can turn on

578
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.639
my laundry with my phone. Do you think that's gonna

579
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:53.639
make them panties drop?

580
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:53.920
No?

581
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:56.840
If you tell her that you can make ice with

582
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:59.159
the touch of a button from your phone, is that

583
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.960
going to impress anybody? Or is that just another something

584
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:02.639
that could fail?

585
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:11.199
I'm unless there was some way to remotely now and

586
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:13.519
they do make all in ones, but they take forever.

587
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:15.079
Yeah, uh.

588
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:18.880
Yeah, unless there was something that it's somehow it could

589
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:21.880
transfer itself from the washer to the dryer because or

590
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:24.199
take the stuff out of the dryer and fold it.

591
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:26.599
Yes, yes, now we're talking.

592
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.760
Yeah, then then I'd feel like I was really cool.

593
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.079
But otherwise, like what are the washers? I was looking

594
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:35.320
at it as the main washer, but then it's got

595
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:37.320
a little thing on top that I guess, I don't know,

596
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.920
for steam or whatever. I have gotten along just fine,

597
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:44.800
which the plain old washer and dryer, and that's really

598
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.119
probably the route I should go. But yet I am

599
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:50.199
fascinated by the ones that have all the lights and

600
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:53.960
knobs and everything, and it's like, well, what am I

601
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.719
missing out on?

602
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:57.440
I know, is there some sort of technology I haven't

603
00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:59.920
heard about yet? Is there AI in this washer dry

604
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.480
or setup to where maybe all I gotta do is

605
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:05.920
dump the dirty clothes into the washer and then I

606
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.440
can leave. Then with a touch of a button on

607
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:10.800
my phone, I can hit the start process. It can

608
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.199
wash the clothing and then either dry it in the

609
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.199
same machine or slide it over transfer it into an

610
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:23.599
adjoining machine to then dry the stuff and then fold

611
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:25.679
it for me, so that way I could go to

612
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:30.000
a movie, come home, and my laundry's done. Now you've

613
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:32.719
got my attention when it comes to all the new

614
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:38.519
technology and the bells and whistles. Short of that, man,

615
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.320
just wash my clothes without shrinking it. That's really all

616
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:42.760
I need.

617
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:46.519
Yeah, I'm now.

618
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:49.320
All that being said, If you can get your hands

619
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:53.599
on an oven that you can delay start, that's pretty

620
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:57.760
cool because then, like if you've got a roaster or

621
00:36:57.800 --> 00:36:59.840
something that takes all day, you can set that and

622
00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:02.280
go do stuff and it can have a delayed start

623
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:04.679
and then you come home and it'll have been in

624
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:07.000
there for an hour, like you need. That's about the

625
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:14.639
only super fancy thing I've needed. But like, like, what

626
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:19.320
is it the refrigerators that have a touch feature that

627
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.559
can it's like a disappearing deal, Like it looks like

628
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.599
a normal refrigerator, but the other touch it you can

629
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:29.320
see inside. I don't need that. I'll just open it.

630
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:32.800
I don't I don't need to see through my refrigerator door.

631
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:39.119
I just I'll just open it. Yeah, I think only

632
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.320
I take it back. Ghostbusters would have been an entirely

633
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:47.400
different movie if Sigourney Weaver's character just was able to

634
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:49.639
see through the door without having to open it and

635
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:51.519
see the dog.

636
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:56.280
I am sure all this is.

637
00:37:56.360 --> 00:38:00.880
It's all fantastic, and uh maybe one day I'll have

638
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.000
the money to buy appliances like that and and really

639
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:04.840
enjoy them.

640
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:06.360
But for now, I.

641
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.679
You know, refrigerator keeps stuff cold, freezer keep stuff really cold,

642
00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:17.079
oven hold your just whole timp just it is in

643
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:20.760
a range. I mean, the fancies I get with a

644
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:24.679
dishwasher is is I'll do it on a delay where

645
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:27.159
it'll you know, run in the middle.

646
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:27.320
Of the night.

647
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:31.199
Absolutely, that's really all I need. That's that's really all

648
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:32.920
the technology that we need, right.

649
00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:34.199
So I am.

650
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:37.360
But somehow I have to get this washer and dryer

651
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:44.880
purchase this week and and it's just it's going through

652
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.559
Facebook marketplace. Is just nerve wracking in and of itself

653
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:50.679
because because you don't know, you have no idea what

654
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:51.159
you're getting.

655
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:51.960
Yeah.

656
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:56.000
Uh, if you haven't done this already, just check appliance warehouse.

657
00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:59.960
I think they sell pre uh like use used machines,

658
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:03.400
because that's the common place does all the apartments and stuff.

659
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:09.079
The refurbished stuff. Yeah, so.

660
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:13.639
That's one option. Moving sucks. There's no way around it.

661
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:18.199
I will say one of my favorite moving experiences was

662
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:21.239
when there was next to no planning because we had

663
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.880
no stuff. That was when me and my buddy Brian

664
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.079
moved in together, and I had just started working in

665
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.320
radio and was my first promotions job working for ninety

666
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:36.320
two to five KZPS. This is nineteen ninety nine, okay,

667
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:41.880
the beginning of nineteen ninety nine, and I borrowed the

668
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:46.920
KZPS station van at around two am, went to Brian's house,

669
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.000
packed all his stuff in trash bags. Then we went

670
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.199
to my place through my stuff in a couple of

671
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:58.079
boxes and trash bags, from Richardson to from Addison to

672
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:03.480
Richardson to Arlington to South Arlington, moving into our place

673
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:09.719
in the middle of the night using an unrequested station vehicle.

674
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:12.239
That was fun right in the middle of the night.

675
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:13.920
And then I had it back by morning when Bo

676
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:15.039
and Jim needed to use it.

677
00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:21.199
Barbecue, Bob, thanks you.

678
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:26.599
All right? Did you settle? A surprising new survey suggests

679
00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.280
that more than one in three women regret who they

680
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:34.440
chose as a romantic partner, or at least feel like

681
00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:38.760
they settled. Thirty three percent of adults overall, so not

682
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.679
just women. Thirty three percent of adults overall said they

683
00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:46.639
compromised their standards in their relationship. No surprise, Women are

684
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:49.360
more more likely than men to feel that way. That's

685
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:51.840
thirty five percent to thirty one, So it's not a

686
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:55.400
big swing. It's very small in there. Women between the

687
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:58.039
ages of twenty five to thirty four were most likely

688
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:02.360
to say they had doubts about long term compatibility, forty

689
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:05.639
one percent of those saying they questioned if they had

690
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:09.280
chosen the right partner. So there you have it. One

691
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:12.199
in three adults feel like they have settled when it

692
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:18.000
comes to their relationship. Are you surprised by that number? No,

693
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:21.519
not really. I think if people were being more honest

694
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:24.199
with themselves, I think that number might actually be higher

695
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:28.519
because because the way I see it is most of

696
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:33.199
your early relationships you're still figuring out who you are, right,

697
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:38.119
so it's difficult to operate within a relationship. But when

698
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:41.320
you're in that phase, it's all about learning not just

699
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:43.599
about who you are and what you want what you

700
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:47.760
expect in a relationship, but you're also learning what you

701
00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:50.280
want and what you expect out of somebody else in

702
00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:53.000
a relationship. And when you're young, you don't know any better.

703
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:56.280
You're doing dumb stuff all the time. I think at

704
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:57.800
that point you're just trying to learn. And then by

705
00:41:57.800 --> 00:41:59.800
the time you get around a certain age, you're like, Okay,

706
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.679
think I got it figured out, but you really don't.

707
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:04.960
No, you think you do, and then she ups and

708
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:06.559
leaves you and doesn't tell you why.

709
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:10.280
Uh, And you're fifty two years old moving into a

710
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:11.280
new place with a cat.

711
00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:13.320
Yeah.

712
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:17.960
I've always looked at it back in my real estate days,

713
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:22.320
and you may have come across this as a lot

714
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:23.840
of times you would have to tell people when they're

715
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.280
looking for a house. It's like, if you can find

716
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:28.599
something that meets eighty five to ninety percent of your

717
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:32.679
wants and needs, that's a great fit. You're never going

718
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:35.480
to get one hundred percent, even even if you build.

719
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:40.719
The chances are by the time you build it five

720
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:42.599
years later there are gonna be things you wish you

721
00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:45.599
had done differently. So if you can hit that eighty

722
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:48.719
five ninety percent, you're doing really well.

723
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:51.079
And that's you know, that's a keeper.

724
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:58.039
You just put a very impractical thought in my head.

725
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:04.159
Wouldould you rather? Would you rather get into a romantic

726
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:07.320
relationship with someone who fits about eighty five to ninety

727
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:12.880
percent of your wants and needs, or would you rather

728
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:17.159
build one using AI in a three D printer that

729
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:19.760
meets what you think are one hundred percent of your

730
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:28.559
ones and needs. So basically, would you rather have a

731
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:31.679
real woman or a really hot bot?

732
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:38.440
I would go with a real woman because I know

733
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:40.920
without a shadow of a doubt, and this would be

734
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:44.440
the real pisser is I know, I'd really forget something major,

735
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:46.760
building something, and then I would be pissed off at

736
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:48.360
myself for eternity.

737
00:43:48.360 --> 00:43:51.960
That you know, or what I was.

738
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:54.480
I was thinking short term at the time and not

739
00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:58.639
long term, and I would screw myself.

740
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:02.239
And you've and you've built your own demise. You are

741
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:08.480
doctor Frankenstein. That's I think my thinking is, I'll if

742
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:10.480
you were to go with the hot bot, it's like, well,

743
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:13.920
it's it's I'm an idiot. It's eventually gonna turn on

744
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:14.480
being kill me.

745
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:19.000
I mean, at this point, you know I've either one

746
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:20.599
is probably gonna leave me. So I'm.

747
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:28.880
That's both funny and sad. I'm sorry, but at least

748
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:34.760
you got me. Yeah, we don't forget stroke Dan goes

749
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:38.320
to China. You've got that look to look forward to
