Guys Do Stupid Things: Never Correct Your Wife About Her Weight

Guys do stupid things. That’s pretty much the theme of today’s episode of The Treehouse Show.
We start with a Reddit husband who may have discovered the fastest way possible to get himself in trouble. His wife thought she had lost weight — and instead of smiling, nodding and going on with his day, this genius went out of his way to PROVE HER WRONG. Somehow, he survived long enough to post about it on Reddit.
Then it’s Celebrity Birthdays, where we discover Dan apparently doesn’t know the difference between Doug E. Fresh and Doug E. Doug. Plus, we celebrate the birthday of our very own Jerry Caldwell.
Finally, we close with perhaps the ultimate example of a guy doing something incredibly stupid: a man died in a car crash after authorities say he was masturbating while driving.
Marriage mistakes, confused celebrities, terrible decisions and another reminder that sometimes the biggest threat to men… is men.

1:41 All right, coming up inside The Treehouse Show today. Women cannot have everything. Also, don't jack and drive. And. We are going to start today with a major, major F-up. It's two meanings there, isn't it, Trey? Both are very true. Both are accurate. Which one is it we're talking about? We'll tell you coming up on the show in just a little bit. Today we are going to start with some asshat online who said, The time I effed up by proving to my wife she's heavier than she thought.
2:32 What? Good Lord. I realize this is in the Tfue subreddit, the time I effed up, but they need to create a whole new subreddit account. The time I died. Because I haven't even read the entire story, but just seeing that a man thought it would be a good idea not only to tell his wife that she is heavy, but to take it a step further by saying, yes, you are heavy and you're heavier than you think you are. Like, unless this guy is a height and weight or age and weight barker at the state fair, he should not be anywhere near this arena.
3:32 You really missed one of the key details of this story. Please. She's five months post having a baby. See, I didn't read the whole thing. I'm just going based on the headline here. Five months after having a baby, he tells his wife, A, you're big, and B, you're bigger than you think you are. All right, so here, I'll give you the nuts and bolts of the story. The TLDR? The wife, you know, put on some weight having the kid. Like you do. Yep. And she, five months post having the kid, said she was in a great mood one day and said, that she had, you know, was down to like 70, 77 kilograms from 87 kilograms, 10 pounds. Or no, I'm sorry, 10 kilograms, which is about 21, 22 pounds. Okay. And she had told him her weight a while back. So he knew, and you know, he's, in his mind, he's going, she hasn't lost 22 pounds. So I'm going to, you know, so then they go through this whole deal of she goes and gets on the scale and shows him. And then he has to really examine the scale and realize that it's not on all four stands. It's one stand
5:06 is in a like crack in the tile. And so then he has to balance it out, level it, and then show her that no, she hasn't lost any weight. You see, I'm a firm believer there are two types of people in this world. Those who want to be happy and those who want to be right. You cannot have both at the same time. Oh my God, yes. And it's very difficult if you find yourself in a relationship where one of you just wants to be happy slash at peace together. And the other has to be right. Okay. It's a difficult situation. I'm going to go devil's advocate on this one.
5:47 Oh. And, Dan, I know you. I've known you a long time. We're not talking about a couple pounds. We're talking about 22 pounds. If anyone told you they lost 22 pounds and they clearly haven't, you're going to just let that go. Yes. Ignore switch engaged. Especially if you live with them. If they know where you sleep and how you sleep. Okay. Look, Trey, you're not wrong. All right. Like I, I, I, I get it. Okay.
6:27 I think though, it's like in my brain, I am really weighing the consequences here because if she says I have lost 22 pounds. My first thought is that's great. You look fantastic. But if you know for a fact that they either look the. Same or maybe they actually look like they may have gained weight or like in the case of this guy, the scale was on a crack in the tile. So, you know, the scale was not properly balanced. Then you've got to weigh the consequences of you saying something about it. So, yeah, in the story, he says his wife, she had been working at it and working out and trying to lose weight. And this is, you know, he talks about how she was just so happy and radiant that she lost this weight. Now, at some point, she's going to go to the doctor and find out, no, she hasn't.
7:26 Yes, but then that's not on you. Let the doctor eat it. Yes. Okay. All right. Yes. So... She's going to come home crushed. Yeah, and when she comes home, she tells you what happened. You go, you were angry. You were mad at that medical staff, and you were mad at that scale. You go in the bathroom, you take that scale, and you hold it up, and you scream at it and say, how dare you? And then you throw it out. Well, she's going to ask you, did your weight change at all? And that's when you say, you see, this is why I don't weigh myself. Mm-hmm.
8:08 And why do you have the scale in the bathroom? I've seen you on it. I know you weigh yourself, Dan. So you let me go to the doctor knowing I hadn't lost all this weight. Do you know how embarrassed I was? I was bragging to the nurse how much weight I'd lost. I thought you had. I don't know why. Really? You think the 22 pounds, you let me really think that? You are always beautiful to me. Jerry just died. You just gave up the high ground, Jerry. You're like, you're always beautiful. That's conceding that you were wrong and that it doesn't matter.
8:48 You have to stay with the denial. You cannot give up the denial. You are now in it and you are in it forever. When I got on the scale, I didn't notice any difference because I... But when you got on, I just assumed it was right because my weight seemed the same And yours was down, so why would I question the scale or your beautiful judgment? Did you know the scale was wrong? No, it kept telling me the same thing. Every time I stepped on it. Are you lying to me? Are you really going to lie about this? About the scale?
9:29 Let's go get on the scale and see what you weigh, see if your weight's changed. We can't. I threw it out, remember? Remember? And that's why you throw that out. I am much better at this than Jerry. Uh, look, you may end up dead in the end anyway, but man, I'm going to put up a fight. I'm gonna go down swing that i get it you're right if she says like the scale says i dropped 30 pounds and you're like really you you only have two plausible choices two realistic choices.
10:13 One is you do the the thing where you just like That's great. I'm so happy for you. That's awesome. The other is you say, oh, that's awesome. Oh, wait a second. And you start going towards the scale because you've noticed that it's on a crack in the tile. And you're like, look, just FYI, I love you. I love you with every ounce of my being. but this scale might not be in the right spot. See on this, it's in this crack here. And I, let me just shift this over. And then you step on the scale and you say, it's fucking broken and you throw it out.
10:59 Or you go, my gosh, that is great, honey. I bet we're going to need to get you some new clothes. How many dress sizes have you dropped? Do you have a death wish? Hey, you are excited for her. You don't know. But here's what's going to happen in that scenario. Then she's going to take you out of the scary bathroom and take you into the more terrifying bedroom where she is going to then try stuff on while you sit and wait for her to come out and ask, does this make me look fat? And here's the problem. She goes into that closet. She's going to put it on and know something's not right.
11:41 So she knows what the answer is. Deep down, she's got to know. Again, we're not talking about 5 pounds. We're talking about 20, 22 pounds. So she's got to, in the back of her mind, have some question about it. I think the dress size thing is a really good, safe play. Because then she's going to register, I haven't changed, you know, my dress size hasn't changed. And then maybe she'll leave you on the edge of the bed, leave the closet, and go into the bathroom and re-weigh and then see that maybe. It didn't add up. Look, it's going to be a bad day for you either way. It really is an interesting question of how much delusion do you allow?
12:27 Oh, you get to allow me to feel certain things now, Trey? Thank you. Will you please tell me when it's okay to be happy? This isn't something I'm saying to her. This is something I'm saying to you guys. Exactly. Keep it, keep it. Yeah. This is the inner dialogue. I have been on this earth long enough. Very seldom. Am I going to use the term delusion with a woman at all without having some kind of safety gear? In the, uh, in, in the chat here, double AJ. No, because when, because then she'll ask you, why didn't you say anything? Do you not notice when I do and don't change?
13:14 There's no win there. Well put, AJ. Sean's saying, and this is why Trey is single. And Chad, I love this. Chad, nope, you just play dumb and hope it works out. That may actually be the best play. You just play as dumb as you possibly can get away with and just hope for the best. It is. It is a no-win situation. Because sooner or later, it's going to come back and bite you in the ass. Because if she really is delusional and thinks she's lost 22 pounds when she hasn't, again, she's going to go to the doctor at some point and figure it out.
13:54 Yeah. Or that scale is going to get moved back correctly. See, this is the thing where the guy really... So in the story, he re-centers the scale and then tells her to get back on it. That's the dumb move. You just re-center the scale and let her figure it out. You walk in. You just go, hmm. You look down at the scale. You take your foot and you gently nudge it into proper position and then you leave. And you don't say anything. You don't highlight the fact, you know what? You dumb cow. You didn't do it right here. Try it again now. Oh, this may not be big enough. We may have to take you to one of those weigh stations on the side of the interstate to make sure. He might as well be saying all that stuff because it's going to be ugly.
14:43 You fix the scale and let her figure it out. You don't tell her, here, honey. Right. I still feel it's going to be easier for you the more you let her slash someone else help her with that realization. I love Linda in the chat. She says, this is where I lose my girl card. Tell me if I look fat in those jeans. I want to know if I look bad. Yeah, that's what they all say. Uh-uh. We're not falling for it, Linda. We don't fall for it in our relationships, or we're not about to fall for it in the chat inside the treehouse hangout lounge. We're not buying it, Linda. As cool as I know you are, mm-mm. Too old, too wise, we all know better.
15:33 Mm-hmm. And that's our story, and we're sticking to it. All right. That man is lucky to be alive. I don't know. If he makes it to his next birthday, I'll be very surprised. Let's get Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration into the treehouse. 833-COOK-DFW is the phone number to get your free roof inspection and property review scheduled. The website, cookdfw.com. I'm going to say some scary words, Daniel. Super El Nino. And the effect that is going to have on weather, especially in the North Texas area.
16:19 You know, you're right. We just are officially in going into the Super El Nino. The reason why is because it's warmer than a regular El Nino. And it does prelude that we will have a wetter higher rain percentage than a normal year. Or shall we say on El Nino. So there are some differences, speculations, nothing is set in stone. This is not a guarantee that we're going to have a deluge of water for the next year. I mean, that's just not what it means. Scientific data says, hey, we might have a wetter than normal. We could have more storms. It could be just a lot of rain. We all need to go out and build arcs. I don't know.
17:01 But I mean, it Be prepared. The moral of the story is every day you live in North Texas, especially in North Texas, be prepared. Know how your home is sitting. Know how your roof looks. Know how your windows are working. Know if your doors have holes in them. I mean, just know your home. Know your home. Call us out. We want to educate you. We will come around, walk you around, show you things that you should know, and then we can help you with getting them taken care of. And no pressure, all education. And Daniel and his fine team at Cook DFW will take care of you, the homeowner. With very, very gentle hands. I know because I've been in them. 833-COOK-DFW. That sound bad? Sounded bad. 833-COOK-DFW. Get that scheduled today. The website, cookdfw.com. Speaking of birthdays, when this episode comes out, it will be Thursday, September.
17:56 17th, 2026. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. And what could have been a decent segue, but I had to highlight it like an idiot recentering his wife's scale, so she'll step back on it and prove to him and. Her how right he was. Kyle Chandler is 61 today. Kyle Chandler, 61 today. Coach Eric Taylor from TV's Friday Night Lights. Plus, he was in Argo, Super 8, Bloodline. Right now, though, I think Jerry and I know him for if you're watching it, Jerry, the new lanterns show on HBO max.
18:37 Okay. Green about the green lanterns. Yeah. I have not gotten to watch that yet. I think I'm an episode in, I think I finished the first episode. Two questions on TV. Either one of y'all watch silo. Yes. No. Have you finished the third season? I have not. I have not. I've only been through the first so far. It is fantastic. Second and third, just absolutely. It takes a twist that I did not see coming. Real quick, that's a show that stars Rebecca Ferguson from the Mission Impossible movies, right? Yes. Tim Robbins. Tim Robbins is awesome. So I really like her. And do I have the premise of the show right? Is it post-apocalyptic and people live in a silo?
19:25 Something like that, yes. All right. I know it's a show I've wanted to see. I just haven't yet. At the end of season two, it throws in a major plot twist. Okay. And then at the end of the season three, it, that plot twist, it's hard to explain. It's fantastically written. So, and there's, it's a four season, like they've already, four seasons already going to be next summer. And that'll be the final season, but excellent, excellent show. All right.
20:08 And by the way, also one of the things, Stuart tries to say whatever the show is. Stuart fails to save the universe. Pretty good. Yeah. I've been pleasantly surprised. Yeah, we were all worried about that. That's exactly what I was going to say, yeah. Yeah, we were all thinking it was going to be a dud, but so pretty good. Okay, that's good. That makes me happy. The difficulty. Okay, look. You know the saying, careful what you wish for, because you just might get it? Remember back in the day when we were tired of cable paying for 300 something channels and we only watched a handful of them? And well, careful what you wish for because now we got it.
20:50 So now instead of cable, most of us have cut the cord and we started having apps. Well, now there's like a million apps and they're hard to track. And now we wish we could go back to cable where they're all in one place and it's easier to find stuff like Trey has done. I still have my, I've actually cut some of the subscriptions and I just, I have DirecTV and so I get, I can still channel surf, which, and I guess it's an age thing. I genuinely find cathartic just on a Sunday afternoon, Saturday afternoon, just flipping through channels. Oh, hey, that's on. I'll watch movies with commercials. Just, you know, I know I could go watch them without, but I'm like, you know, there's just something about old school. You catch something on, you watch it.
21:39 Yeah, and from wherever it picked up. You don't even try to start it from the beginning or anything. I'm just going to pick it up in the middle because I've seen it enough times. I don't need to start it from the front. But yeah, no, I'm with you on that. But it's so hard now because there's so many apps, there's so many networks and all these things. There's so many shows. This is the problem we have now. We used to say we didn't have enough shows to watch on too many nothing channels. Well, now we've got so many channels and now so many shows to watch. There's still lots of crap out there, but there's enough good stuff that it's hard to catch up. Like the list, the list I have just keeps growing of shows and or movies that I want to watch. And I can't get like we just last night watched the first.
22:21 Episode of the pit. Ah, Katie and I just started watching hacks and we have been binging the crap out of it. It is so good. Jean Smart, the star of that, from Designing Women, you probably remember from that show. She is the first actress in history to win an Emmy for every single season of a show that they're the lead in. It's that good. Goddamn. It's not very often that I get pulled into something based on awards. It might heighten my curiosity for something, especially if I wasn't aware. Of it before. But that little note, Jerry, has me curious about that show, Hacks.
23:05 The Emmys, you know, the other night, I think the show Widow's Bay broke the record for the most Emmy wins with 14. 14 Emmys. Holy crap. I have no idea what the thing is about, but it turned my head when I saw a show winning 14 Emmys in one night, and it's immediately now at the top of my list of curiosity to be like, A, what is it? And B... I feel like I need to see it. 14 Emmys. I've never even heard of it. Yeah. I think I remember seeing like a promotional still for it on one of the apps. I don't know if it was Hulu or what. And that's other things like I'll see a show and I don't know which app it's on. I want to say it's Hulu. I could be wrong, but yeah, it's this show. I saw it when it was first released. It's a show that's called Widows Bay.
24:00 I don't know. I think I saw like a like the image that it showed was just a like a like a rowboat or something in front of a lighthouse. Widow's Bay. I have no idea what that is. And then like a month later, they've won 14 Emmys. That is the subscription that I am torn on whether I want to cancel or not is my Hulu Disney ESPN bundle. I don't have the ESPN bundle. I just got the ES. I just had the Disney Hulu combo. and I keep it, if for nothing else, the Marvel stuff, because this year I went through and re-watched all the Marvel, so I needed it. I cut Paramount. I cut Peacock. Netflix and HBO are probably my big two. Apple TV, I have a bundle with music, TV, all the crap. Um, and then prime because, well, prime TV is just a ancillary bonus.
25:06 Yeah, that's true. It comes with a subscription. Yeah. And for me, like watching a reacher right now. Um, so yeah, Kyle Chandler is 61 today. Um, I can't remember. So yeah, I'm only one episode into lanterns. It's okay so far. We'll see. I have no idea. Other birthdays today. Bobby Lee is 55. He is a comedian. He's also a podcaster, former Mad TV cast member. He and the guy he does the show with, I honestly don't know, the podcast is called Bad Friends. One of the top podcasts in the world. Good for them. So Bobby Lee, 55. Director Baz Luhrmann is 64. Some of his movies include Moulin Rouge, The Great Gatsby, Elvis, And Romeo and Juliet, the Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, Claire Danes.
26:03 90s classic Romeo and Juliet. Great soundtrack. John Ritter would have been 78, but he had a aortic heart attack situation that killed him dead in 2003 at just the age of 54. So keep that in mind. We're all right there at the age of John Ritter died. Get your tickers checked, boys. Speaking of which, I'm about to say one of the oldest man things I've ever said. The last time I went to the doctor, they told me about a blood test that we can now do that gives you sort of a genetic probability for heart attack.
26:45 Wait. Was it genetic or just based on lipid something? Whatever the test was. Went to the doctor and she told me, yeah, the odds of you having a heart attack are like minuscule. It was like a point something percent. And I was like, oh, that's good to know. Which she doesn't realize that's kind of like opening the door for me because now I. Feel like that means I can eat and drink whatever I want. But yeah, it was some test she did. I don't know if it was a lipid thing. It was in the blood work. Yeah, we can do this test now and see. like the likelihood of you having a major heart attack. I was like, that's kind of cool technology. Thank you for that. So if you boys being in the similar age group that I'm in, next time you get your stuff done, just ask about that.
27:33 Let's see. Roddy McDowell is another deceased birthday. He would have been 98 today from Planet of the Apes. And a little 80s movie that I recall fondly, Fright Night. He played a TV version of Van Helsing in a movie called Fright Night. The guy that played Dracula was Chris Sarandon, who was from Princess Bride. To this day, it's one of the scariest vampire mouths. So like in all the vampire movies, they have like different sort of teeth versions. Fright Night had one of the scariest from what I remember as a kid. So do you guys remember this movie at all?
28:16 Absolutely. Trey, no. Good movie, right, Jerry? Mm-hmm. So you got a teenage boy, neighbor moves in, the neighbor's Dracula, okay? And the neighbor's girlfriend's very cute, and Dracula has his eyes on her, and then he realizes, oh, my God, my neighbor's Dracula, and he's trying to protect his girlfriend, and so he tracks down TV's Van Helsing. And it's Roddy McDowell. And he's telling him, he's like, I'm not a real Van Helsing. I'm just an actor. And so they basically just do that whole thing. And it's a fun movie, man. It was creepy as hell in the 80s. I still remember, and Jerry, since you've seen it, I want to know if this sticks in your memory banks as hard as it does in mine. The guy's best friend gets bitten by Dracula and turned, right? He's kind of a scrawny dude with a high-pitched... quirky voice. And there was like a, in one scene, it's completely black and red eyes pop up and he starts laughing with this weird voice that his best friend had, but he's a vampire.
29:26 It's creepy as hell. Fright night. It's a fun movie. Absolutely. Absolutely. And you're right. That vampire mouth was good grief. It was gnarly to, to, take away the nice, clean, you know, symmetrical. Yeah. Now this, this was not the sexy interview with the vampire vampire fangs. No, this was like, Oh shit. This was like meth vampire. Yes. Okay. Yes. If, if Dracula moved to Florida, which I now feel like that needs to be on the sci-fi network, uh, uh. Meth pyre.
30:08 They, uh, did a remake of that movie in 2011. Any good? Uh, I've only seen bits and pieces of it. It's got, it stars Colin Farrell and the guy that plays the, uh, Ben Helsing character is, um, uh, What's his name? A tenant. Um, got to play Dr. Who. Ah, crap. I can't remember that guy's tenant. Uh, something tenant. Yeah. David. Anyway. Yes. David. Yeah. Yep. All right. Other birthdays today. Patrick Mahomes is 31 living a pretty good life. NBA Zen coach, Phil Jackson, 81.
30:51 God, haven't seen him in a long time. Yeah, it's been a while. It's weird to think that he's already 81, but it makes sense. And I think this is probably the best birthday of today. Doug E. Fresh is 60. Doug E. Fresh. Doug E. Fresh is 60. Hip-hop pioneer known as a human beatbox. And if I remember correctly, one of the stars. Of Cool Runnings. I believe he was the one in Cool Runnings where he's telling John Candy as he's in the bobsled, I can't get my helmet on, Coach. John Candy comes over, smashes the top of the helmet onto his head, and he's like, thanks, Coach.
31:41 I know I remember Cool Runnings as a funny movie, but I don't really remember any bits and pieces of it. Oh, yeah. I mean, the part, thanks, Coach, where he smashes the helmet onto his head. Starring John Candy and Leon, who was also the star of the Living on a Prayer video by Madonna. He was like the head Jamaican bobsledder. And then I think it was Doug E. Fresh that played the one with the short dreads. Living on a Prayer was Bon Jovi. Yeah. Sorry, not Living on a Prayer. Like a Prayer. Like a Prayer. Oh, I got it wrong. Mackie got me. He's like, no, Dan, that's Doug E. Doug.
32:25 See, this is why you have to have different, like, differing names. Man, I think I just really insulted Doug E. Fresh. I thought Doug E. Fresh and Doug E. Doug were the same guy. I need to brush up on my hip-hop. Yeah, I don't know. Either one of them would be happy with that. Probably not. My apologies to the Doug E's from the bottom of my heart. I was just saying it as a birthday because it's an excuse. Where I get to bring up Cool Runnings and what a great movie it is. What is it, Jerry? I said, I know this is not a today thing, but there's another notable birthday happening this weekend.
33:06 Oh, what's that? You don't know? Hang on. I'm looking at the date. Let's see. We're recording this on September 16th. The episode drops on September 17th. Okay. Raj's birthday was October. Is it yours? Yes. Is it your birthday this weekend, Jerry? Yes. I mean, surprise. 51 to 52. Yeah. That's a real barn burner of a birthday. Hmm.
33:50 Yeah, I blew it out on the 50th. We are 0 for 3 here inside the treehouse with wishing you a happy birthday, Jerry. Number one, I didn't even know it was your birthday. Number two, Trey didn't know how old you were. And in the chat, Linda just said, happy birthday, jerk. I was off by a year. That's a compliment to Jerry. I thought he was younger. Happy birthday, jerk. I mean, that is one of the nicest things I've been called, actually. It's better to have a T on the end than a K.
34:31 That's right. I'm sorry, Jerry. Happy birthday, man. In my defense, I'm terrible with birthdays because I'm not big on my birthday, so it has to be drilled into my head anybody else's. Your birthday is your own personal holiday. Even if you don't subscribe to a government-mandated holiday or religious holiday, there is one day out of the year that is for you, and that's your birthday. It is an arbitrary marker of time. What day is your birthday, Jerry? September 20th, the day after International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and the day before the first day of autumn.
35:16 Man, they sandwiched you in between those perfectly. All right, September 20th. Tara, can you make a note of that, please? September 20th, Jerry's... Yeah, Jerry's birthday. September 20th. Yeah, I know I should know it, but I... Tara has reprimanded me. I'm sorry, Jerry. September 20th, Jert's birthday. That's how I'm actually going to put it in there now, I think. Happy birthday, Jerry. The big five, too. Anything special planned? Perfect. That sounds exactly correct and proper for a 52nd birthday.
36:02 Yeah. I think I'm going to go eat Tex-Mex with the fam. But other than that, we'll party. There's not a lot to celebrate. No. I used to do the big birthday parties on like the tens, you know, like the 30th or the 40th. Then get to 50 and it's like, maybe we should do the big parties every five just to make sure. Makes sense. Get them all in. Look, there are different landmark birthdays in our lives, right? I mean, 16, you get your license. 18, you can vote or join the military. 21, you can drink. 25, you can rent a car. Uh, yeah.
36:47 And the insurance comes down a little bit. Um, then there's, then there's the mile marker birthdays, like 30 and. 40, 50. But after you turn 50, there are not a whole lot of, you know, celebratory birthdays or noteworthy birthdays. There's, 55 used to be one because that's when people could retire, but that's not happening for our generation or any that we're going to see. Um, so what are, so then, yeah, you're right. Then you're just kind of noting the major birthdays. Like after you turned 50, it's like, Hey, what's the next big one? I made it to 55. Cool.
37:27 Uh, then I make it to 60. After 60, it's like, you're just happy that you made it to another one. Yeah. Are there any like noteworthy birthdays after you turned 50 that, I'm forgetting. Social Security birthday? 65. I mean... 72 now? 64. That was in the Beatles song. Everybody gets to sing that Beatles song to you. Will you still need me? Will you still feed me when I'm 64? See, even they thought 64 was old back then. Do you think they sing that song now and they think. Oh, mate, we're really old now. Yeah, because.
38:08 After you hit whatever age you're going to pull social security, there's no noteworthy birthdays, right? You're still alive. Every day is the birthday. I mean, that's why Jerry's right. It's like high school reunions. You do it every 10 years, and then after 30, you do it every five years, because then it's like, well, who's alive and who's dead? Yeah, right. And we've already lost a lot of people in my graduating class. Really? Yeah. We lost, we lost a lot during COVID and just for other reasons, it's been, it's been rough on the 93 skaters.
38:48 Jesus. Uh, 98 Vikings, uh, got an early start. I think there was a girl that died like a couple of months after graduation. And then within a year, within a year of graduating, we had a guy, uh, wakeboarding in Lake Arlington drowned. So 98 Vikings started early. I don't know where everyone else has ended up since, but. We were overachievers. There's no doubt about that. I married four people out of my senior year, senior year to freshman year in college. Four? Were they on the same boat or something, or is it all different stuff.
39:29 All different three car wrecks one a freak accident one a suicide actually there was. Five Jesus that reminds me you need to watch the final destination movie holy shit i'm sorry i did not expect that to hit that hard. I say that because i was thinking about it in the terms of like when you're when you're graduating high school and the valedictorian is doing the speech and everything They get up there and they talk about hope and the future.
40:20 They never get up there and say, some of us are going to be dead soon. If I'd seen the movie, it would probably hit a lot harder. Oh, it will. You'll be one of the weirdos watching Final Destination laughing your ass off. As opposed to being absolutely mortified. Okay, last little bit here inside the treehouse for today. We promised that we would teach you some important life lessons. One of those is here. Don't jack and drive. A pantsless driver in Detroit died in a car wreck.
41:03 While watching porn. Speaking of Final Destination. This dude... Let's be honest. This dude went out on top. What I mean by that is He leveled up in death. This is a new level of distracted driving. A 58-year-old man who could clearly still get it up was preoccupied by porn on his phone when he crashed his car, rolled his vehicle, all while. Not wearing pants. And he died. Wasn't he ejected?
41:56 You remember earlier when i said share this show with a friend if you loved what you heard here today share it with a friend. And together we can grow really big and strong the treehouse show. And possibly avoid. Any premature ejections. We'll see you next time right here inside the treehouse. And he really was.
