He Took the Upgrade and Left His Wife & Kids in Coach?! | The Treehouse Show

How are men so stupid? That's the question we're asking on today's episode of The Treehouse Show.

A husband took to Reddit because he couldn't understand why his wife was furious with him. On a family flight, he was offered an upgrade to business class — and ACCEPTED IT — leaving his wife and two kids behind in coach. Somehow, he didn't see the problem. We do.

Then it's time for Celebrity Birthdays, where we discover that Salma Hayek is turning 60, which doesn't seem remotely possible.

And finally, the robots are getting involved in our relationships. One man ended up spending five months in prison after using a robot vacuum to catch his wife cheating, while another couple says an AI chatbot actually SAVED their marriage by helping spice up their sex life.

Business-class husbands, cheating spouses, robot vacuums and AI marriage counseling. Just another perfectly normal day inside The Treehouse Show.

Do you have a storage unit that you've been holding

2
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.200
onto for months, if not years? Do you tell yourself

3
00:00:05.259 --> 00:00:07.379
that this will be the month you finally go close

4
00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:10.369
it down after that rent payment clears? But it's still there,

5
00:00:10.810 --> 00:00:13.550
month after month. This is Trey from the Treehouse Show,

the profits with you. so you can finally close the

12
00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:32.960

First Class Dad. That is where we are starting today. Trey,

25
00:01:38.709 --> 00:01:41.010
if you were married and had two kids and you

26
00:01:41.030 --> 00:01:45.079
are booked on an intercontinental flight and out of nowhere,

27
00:01:45.109 --> 00:01:49.719
the gate agent upgraded your ticket to first class, but

28
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.090
the wife and the kids are staying in economy. Are

29
00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:54.189
you going to take it?

30
00:02:00.129 --> 00:02:02.189
I want to say that I would be smart enough

31
00:02:02.269 --> 00:02:08.250
to not take it, but that is a very tempting offer.

32
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:09.400
Yes, it is.

33
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:15.740
Now, in this story, the wife and kids are in

34
00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:18.340
economy plus, not just base economy. So, you know, they've

35
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.879
got a little extra leg room. It's not the worst thing.

36
00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:25.479
They're not in an overhead bin or anything.

37
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:26.259
Yeah.

38
00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:31.599
Am I the a-hole for accepting a free first class

39
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.849
upgrade when my wife and kids were stuck in premium economy? Um,

40
00:02:39.810 --> 00:02:44.610
I think this really depends on so many factors. First

41
00:02:44.650 --> 00:02:47.590
of all, if you're just asking, are you an a-hole

42
00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:52.590
for it? Um, I'm going to say no.

43
00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:57.810
So I don't know how much of the story you read.

44
00:02:57.830 --> 00:03:01.830
There is a key factor in this.

45
00:03:02.689 --> 00:03:03.110
Which is?

46
00:03:03.729 --> 00:03:07.169
Which is the husband booked his tickets. His tickets were

47
00:03:07.229 --> 00:03:10.090
booked separately from the wife and kids. He was on

48
00:03:10.129 --> 00:03:11.979
a business trip, and then I think they met up

49
00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:17.379
with him. So it wasn't a complete where, you know,

50
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.319
we all got booked together and they're just singling me out.

51
00:03:21.819 --> 00:03:25.430
Part of it was, and he says it was probably

52
00:03:25.449 --> 00:03:31.909
a premium economy is probably oversold. You know, so he

53
00:03:31.949 --> 00:03:32.849
didn't have a choice.

54
00:03:36.930 --> 00:03:40.729
She doesn't see it that way. The wife does not.

55
00:03:40.949 --> 00:03:44.259
The wife does not see it that way because she

56
00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:47.740
was really excited. So here he says, last week, my wife,

57
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.080
our two kids, flew back from Asia to Europe, an

58
00:03:52.099 --> 00:03:55.599
11-hour flight. Both kids, young teenagers, so they're fine on

59
00:03:55.620 --> 00:04:03.099
their own, right? He checks in for the flight, and

60
00:04:03.150 --> 00:04:06.310
he was asked if he would be interested in upgrading

61
00:04:06.389 --> 00:04:10.189
to business. The upgrade was not free. It was more

62
00:04:10.349 --> 00:04:14.969
than $ 1, 000 per person. So he's like, no, we're not

63
00:04:15.009 --> 00:04:19.259
going to do that. Then, He says, when we were boarding,

64
00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:22.899
the gate agent took my boarding pass, crossed out my

65
00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:26.779
seat number, and wrote down a different one. She then said,

66
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:35.310
upgrade to business. Cue the angels singing, the clouds parting,

67
00:04:35.389 --> 00:04:39.829
the sun shining, harps are playing. This is your day.

68
00:04:40.129 --> 00:04:45.379
This is your gift from God. To fly the heavenly skies.

69
00:04:45.769 --> 00:04:49.399
Especially, you know, back in my drinking days, there is

70
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.759
nothing sweeter than the upgrade to a business or first class.

71
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.199
Because then it's basically it's free champagne. You're you're you're rolling.

72
00:04:58.899 --> 00:04:59.300
Oh, yeah.

73
00:04:59.439 --> 00:04:59.639
Yeah.

74
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.879
It's it's not only just ass kissing, but it's also

75
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:10.620
an open bar. He says, obviously, I accepted the upgrade. Now,

76
00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:13.329
this is my favorite part of the story. So the

77
00:05:13.370 --> 00:05:16.490
gate agent takes his boarding pass, crosses out his seat number,

78
00:05:16.589 --> 00:05:22.170
and says, upgrade to first class. He says, obviously, I

79
00:05:22.230 --> 00:05:26.430
accepted the upgrade. But then here's the twist that I love.

80
00:05:27.069 --> 00:05:30.290
He says, my wife actually seemed excited when she saw

81
00:05:30.329 --> 00:05:34.149
me being upgraded. She seemed genuinely happy that I got

82
00:05:34.189 --> 00:05:40.779
the opportunity to experience first class. No, she was not

83
00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:44.689
excited for you. She was excited for her because she

84
00:05:44.730 --> 00:05:49.529
was assuming that you would do the chivalrous thing and say, no, no, no,

85
00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:51.509
please offer this to my wife.

86
00:05:53.939 --> 00:05:58.740
Yeah. Let's be honest. What this really is, is which

87
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.199
one of us is going to be stuck with kids?

88
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.259
I love his next line. As far as I could tell,

89
00:06:05.779 --> 00:06:07.980
everything was completely fine.

90
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.839
And she probably said, oh, it's fine.

91
00:06:13.339 --> 00:06:18.620
When your wife says it's fine, it's never fine. If

92
00:06:18.730 --> 00:06:21.730
you are saying, as far as I could tell, everything

93
00:06:21.769 --> 00:06:25.670
was completely fine, you're the cartoon dog in the meme

94
00:06:25.730 --> 00:06:30.980
surrounded by fire saying everything is fine. It's not fine.

95
00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:35.339
He says there was no argument, no indication that she

96
00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:38.579
was upset, and she never said that she wanted me

97
00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:40.980
to sit with her and the kids. I can hear

98
00:06:41.019 --> 00:06:43.939
the argument in my head. She never said that she

99
00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:46.180
wanted me to sit with her and the kids. I

100
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.439
shouldn't have to say it.

101
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:53.980
You should want to. Yeah, I can hear that in

102
00:06:54.019 --> 00:06:54.360
my head.

103
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:54.779
Oh, no.

104
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.300
Sure. Go sit up there. It's fine.

105
00:06:57.819 --> 00:06:58.879
You enjoy yourself.

106
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.360
Yeah, I'll be back here stewing for 11 hours. See

107
00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:04.379
you when we get to plane.

108
00:07:07.110 --> 00:07:18.370
Then his next sentence. However, now she's angry. I'll take...

109
00:07:18.790 --> 00:07:21.089
We all saw this coming for a thousand Alex.

110
00:07:21.730 --> 00:07:24.990
Here's my question. And Dan, you've obviously... You've been married

111
00:07:25.170 --> 00:07:29.939
for quite a long time. Yeah. I have never been married.

112
00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:33.310
And I can't even keep a woman around. So....

113
00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:37.360
Don't be so hard on yourself.

114
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.879
How... How are you married? And they have teenage kids,

115
00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:44.220
so they've obviously been married for quite a while. How

116
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:45.850
are you married to someone for this long and you're

117
00:07:45.899 --> 00:07:46.750
so clueless?

118
00:07:49.790 --> 00:07:54.290
That is a great question. I think there are some people,

119
00:07:54.569 --> 00:07:59.040
and in this case there are just some men, that

120
00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:04.600
are so astonishingly stupid, I question if it's intentional. Intentional.

121
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.139
Because I can't wrap my brain around someone being so

122
00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:12.370
dense that they don't get it, that they don't understand.

123
00:08:12.389 --> 00:08:15.089
And it's not just, okay, this is your wife, you

124
00:08:15.110 --> 00:08:24.949
should know better. This is like... Any relationship, if you get...

125
00:08:25.910 --> 00:08:28.100
If there's an upgrade to be had, the wife is

126
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:34.399
going to expect that she's going to get it. And

127
00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:38.830
how you thought... because this isn't just a wham, bam, there,

128
00:08:38.909 --> 00:08:42.009
I did it. This is, you're doing it, and literally,

129
00:08:42.549 --> 00:08:45.549
and by the time you, from takeoff to landing, probably

130
00:08:45.549 --> 00:08:51.370
12 hours to stew on this one. I've heard just

131
00:08:51.409 --> 00:08:55.120
thinking about, you are relaxed, stretched out in the lap

132
00:08:55.149 --> 00:08:58.139
of luxury and business class, and she is, although a

133
00:08:58.179 --> 00:09:01.500
little extra leg room, still crammed with two annoying kids

134
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:02.179
and coach.

135
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.269
And as you're sitting in first class... And you feel

136
00:09:07.549 --> 00:09:11.129
the heat on the back of your neck. That is

137
00:09:11.190 --> 00:09:14.710
not the moist, hot, moist towel that they handed you.

138
00:09:15.289 --> 00:09:18.570
Those are the laser beams from her eyeballs from the

139
00:09:18.649 --> 00:09:21.289
back of the plane into the back of your head.

140
00:09:21.309 --> 00:09:23.450
Yeah, especially when they close that curtain.

141
00:09:25.149 --> 00:09:31.009
Burns two holes right through it. Just singed. Now, he

142
00:09:31.090 --> 00:09:34.409
wants a little extra credit here because he says multiple

143
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:38.610
times during the flight, He leaves his seat to go

144
00:09:38.669 --> 00:09:41.610
back to economy to visit the family just to see

145
00:09:41.669 --> 00:09:44.360
how they're doing. And I can tell you right now,

146
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.460
that is the worst possible thing he could have done.

147
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.039
You keep your ass in the front of the plane

148
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.549
because every trip you made to economy was a reminder

149
00:09:55.210 --> 00:10:00.340
of where you weren't and where they were. weren't.

150
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:06.000
And it's not like in today's age, it's not like

151
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.279
they could switch back and forth. I mean, once you

152
00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:10.850
have a seat, that's your seat. They're not going to

153
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.929
let you switch. So yeah, you are just, he would

154
00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:19.049
have been better off turning off his phone and saying, ooh,

155
00:10:19.149 --> 00:10:23.980
I fell asleep. Versus a constant, constantly rubbing it in

156
00:10:24.129 --> 00:10:26.960
that he's in business class and they're in coach.

157
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.960
And again, how is he so stupid not to realize

158
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:35.340
that that is how it's going to be interpreted? Because

159
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.559
as soon as he pulls that little curtain apart and

160
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:42.200
she sees it because she has not stopped burning fire

161
00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:44.039
into the back of his head. So she sees him

162
00:10:44.090 --> 00:10:46.129
get up, make the slow walk, pull the curtain to

163
00:10:46.169 --> 00:10:49.009
the side and walking towards her. You're trying to tell

164
00:10:49.049 --> 00:10:51.929
me as a husband of this woman, you couldn't tell?

165
00:10:52.309 --> 00:10:56.360
You couldn't see the pure dissatisfaction on her face every

166
00:10:56.409 --> 00:11:00.200
step you took to get closer to her seat? Oh,

167
00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:08.039
sweet Jesus. He says, I honestly didn't see the problem

168
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.720
at the time. And to be honest, I still don't

169
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.879
see it right now. Brother, I don't know what to

170
00:11:14.950 --> 00:11:18.230
tell you. If you are genuinely that stupid, you deserve

171
00:11:19.429 --> 00:11:21.529
all the consequences coming your way.

172
00:11:22.649 --> 00:11:25.450
I am so surprised the wife didn't get up and

173
00:11:25.470 --> 00:11:28.870
do a Jack Nicholson from the shining and poke her

174
00:11:28.909 --> 00:11:33.269
head through the curtains. Here's bitch.

175
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.379
Meanwhile, the entire air crew was like, where'd she get

176
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:42.019
an ax?

177
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:47.659
Yeah. Oh, she has entire air crews is looking at

178
00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:52.509
him going, You're dumb. We've seen this movie before.

179
00:11:54.169 --> 00:11:57.230
Everyone break out your phone. This is going to get good. Yeah.

180
00:11:58.649 --> 00:12:02.120
We're now offering free Wi-Fi on the plane so everyone

181
00:12:02.179 --> 00:12:04.399
can live stream this because this is going to be

182
00:12:04.460 --> 00:12:08.679
good and it's going to be evidence. Oh, man. I

183
00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:12.470
just I really this is something that befuddles me. My

184
00:12:12.710 --> 00:12:16.470
my entire adulthood is how and this is typically men.

185
00:12:16.490 --> 00:12:19.759
Let's be honest. is how some men just don't seem

186
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:25.269
to get it. And they never do. I don't... Like,

187
00:12:25.409 --> 00:12:29.029
unless we paint it on a cave wall, are you

188
00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:30.289
ever going to get it?

189
00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:39.919
Clearly not. I just... Jesus, man. I mean, that's... That's

190
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:47.110
where I'm befuddled. And I've... Like, are some... couple is

191
00:12:47.169 --> 00:12:50.529
just so happily happy that the men are just oblivious

192
00:12:50.889 --> 00:12:54.350
or are they just oblivious? And the wife just bites

193
00:12:54.389 --> 00:12:57.330
her tongue. And, and I, I don't know how you,

194
00:12:57.490 --> 00:12:59.649
you get to this point and you you're befuddled why

195
00:12:59.690 --> 00:13:02.070
she's pissed off. You know how this plays out. At

196
00:13:02.110 --> 00:13:02.850
least you should.

197
00:13:03.509 --> 00:13:07.909
You should. And, and this is an interesting dynamic. This

198
00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:10.580
is where I go back to my original statement, which is,

199
00:13:11.340 --> 00:13:18.000
you know what, buddy, enjoy it. this is where I

200
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:26.899
feel like equality should really start stepping up. I, as

201
00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:29.500
a married man for a number of years, if there

202
00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:32.080
was a free upgrade to be had, I absolutely am

203
00:13:32.100 --> 00:13:35.120
going to offer it to my wife. I genuinely want

204
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:43.730
her to have it. But, but, I really want it.

205
00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:48.990
And just once, I would like to be the total

206
00:13:49.049 --> 00:13:53.309
travel princess that I know lives inside of me and

207
00:13:53.370 --> 00:13:56.509
just enjoy that first class experience just once.

208
00:13:57.220 --> 00:14:00.820
Okay. Let me ask you a question. Let's go with

209
00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:01.340
this angle.

210
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:04.019
See, I don't like where you're headed. You're about to

211
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.159
give me a scenario that's going to get me in trouble.

212
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:12.120
Well, and it may pertain to this story because I

213
00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:14.279
believe in the story it says he travels for work.

214
00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:21.779
But let's say It's not an upgrade you can give

215
00:14:21.820 --> 00:14:24.190
to your wife. It's either you take it or you don't.

216
00:14:25.330 --> 00:14:25.509
All right.

217
00:14:27.870 --> 00:14:28.529
What do you do?

218
00:14:31.940 --> 00:14:35.100
Is this an A or B type of scenario? Yeah,

219
00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:37.730
you take it or you don't. C, I pull out

220
00:14:37.750 --> 00:14:41.610
a gun and shoot myself. I got to find another

221
00:14:41.649 --> 00:14:44.500
way out of this somehow. You've already gone through TSA.

222
00:14:44.889 --> 00:14:46.000
That's not an option.

223
00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:51.440
I take time to build one out of spare parts. Okay,

224
00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:55.419
then I take a chair, I take a wheelchair and

225
00:14:55.470 --> 00:14:57.750
throw it through the terminal glass, jump down onto the

226
00:14:57.789 --> 00:15:00.990
tarmac and run. And I just keep running like Forrest

227
00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:08.730
Gump for years and never stop. I would first ask,

228
00:15:09.370 --> 00:15:11.769
is it possible to redeem this on a future flight

229
00:15:11.889 --> 00:15:13.149
when these people aren't here?

230
00:15:14.750 --> 00:15:16.509
Nope. This is a now or never. This is.

231
00:15:18.169 --> 00:15:22.570
Probably a once in a lifetime thing. If it's a

232
00:15:22.669 --> 00:15:24.830
once in a lifetime thing and I don't travel for work,

233
00:15:25.610 --> 00:15:27.149
I think at that point I got to be like,

234
00:15:27.190 --> 00:15:29.649
you know what? I'm going to take it. And the

235
00:15:29.690 --> 00:15:32.899
reason why is because this may never happen again. And

236
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.899
I'm going to turn off everything. I am not going

237
00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:39.340
to go on the back to check on them. I

238
00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:42.950
am not going to send a text me like, hey, stop.

239
00:15:43.389 --> 00:15:46.090
This scenario with you is even more interesting because it's

240
00:15:46.169 --> 00:15:50.669
just you and Tara. So you would be leaving her alone. Now,

241
00:15:50.970 --> 00:15:53.350
she may push you into taking the upgrade and be like, oh,

242
00:15:53.370 --> 00:15:54.889
my God, 11 hours of peace.

243
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.559
She might. There also is that very real option.

244
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:03.370
But let's not. Let's say she... She would like it too,

245
00:16:03.809 --> 00:16:04.990
but it's only offered to you.

246
00:16:08.710 --> 00:16:14.399
I'm going to take it and I'll deal with the fallout. Now,

247
00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:19.519
if I travel for work on a regular basis, then

248
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.299
I am absolutely not going to touch that. I am

249
00:16:22.370 --> 00:16:24.210
going to sit with her or try to get her

250
00:16:24.269 --> 00:16:27.710
to sit in that seat. Because the more you fly,

251
00:16:28.549 --> 00:16:31.509
the odds are that you'll eventually get the magical upgrade.

252
00:16:32.509 --> 00:16:36.149
Well, that other question is that the other scenario I

253
00:16:36.190 --> 00:16:38.889
thought of in this, which maybe it wasn't an option,

254
00:16:39.070 --> 00:16:42.830
I don't know, was they offered him the upgrade for $ 1, 000.

255
00:16:42.590 --> 00:16:48.970
He probably could have upgraded the wife and then left

256
00:16:48.990 --> 00:16:50.429
the kids and coach and been fine.

257
00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:58.820
That would have been the smartest play for him. Yes,

258
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.679
I would love the upgrade. Can I bring her for

259
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:06.069
that additional fee? Because at that point, you have to

260
00:17:06.109 --> 00:17:08.190
think to yourself, now this would require this guy to

261
00:17:08.230 --> 00:17:10.869
think ahead a few steps. We know he's in deep doo-doo.

262
00:17:12.170 --> 00:17:15.230
But in that moment, he could have saved himself. He

263
00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:17.759
could have said, yes, thank you for this upgrade. It's amazing.

264
00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:20.819
I would like to also have my wife with me.

265
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.960
And then you pay the upgrade. Because if you don't,

266
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.750
when she is yelling and screaming at you or doing

267
00:17:31.829 --> 00:17:37.029
things later, making you pay for flying first class without her,

268
00:17:38.210 --> 00:17:41.170
you need to ask yourself, would I pay $ 1, 000 to

269
00:17:41.579 --> 00:17:45.720
make this stop? And if the answer is yes, then

270
00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:47.180
you pay for the upgrade.

271
00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:51.680
Oh, this isn't just a wham, bam, thank you, ma'am,

272
00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:53.069
one fight and it's over.

273
00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:55.640
Oh, no, this is going to go on for years.

274
00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:59.160
Oh, yeah, you are going to hear about this for years.

275
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.759
I mean, and so much, like, even just if you

276
00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:04.859
get an Uber, she's like, oh, you don't want to

277
00:18:04.900 --> 00:18:07.119
sit in the front seat? Mm-hmm.

278
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.769
On your deathbed, together, holding hands like in the notebook

279
00:18:11.809 --> 00:18:15.990
or like that couple in Titanic, before you drift off

280
00:18:16.130 --> 00:18:19.170
to death, the sweet release of death, she's going to

281
00:18:19.250 --> 00:18:22.369
look at you and say, are you going to go first?

282
00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:27.140
Are you going to leave without me again?

283
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:31.380
Oh, you didn't want that casket upgrade?

284
00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:37.519
And if you're smart, that's when you whisper back, I

285
00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:42.980
already got mine. It was free with a twofer purchase.

Oh, no, I was just, you know. I wonder if

305
00:19:57.420 --> 00:20:00.640
those tickets, you know, if like Daniel and Carrie got

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.599
four and like they'll be sitting with the people that

307
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.549
win them. That would make the experience so much better.

308
00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:08.289
It really would. That would actually, that would be a

309
00:20:08.329 --> 00:20:10.890
fun time because those two hanging out and yeah.

310
00:20:11.390 --> 00:20:11.569
Yeah.

311
00:20:12.190 --> 00:20:14.450
I'll mention that to him. I'll tell Daniel, hey, if

312
00:20:14.470 --> 00:20:17.890
there's another pair of tickets next to those, just saying.

313
00:20:18.410 --> 00:20:18.589
Yeah.

314
00:20:18.630 --> 00:20:19.789
Might be kind of fun. All right.

315
00:20:19.869 --> 00:20:25.799
If Daniel just, you know, but Carrie and Tito and. Yikes.

316
00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:27.440
All right.

317
00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:32.539
Today is Tuesday. I'm sorry. Today is Wednesday, September 2nd, 2026.

318
00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:40.089
Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. I'm going to start

319
00:20:40.130 --> 00:20:42.670
with an extremely sad birthday, but I think it's important

320
00:20:42.690 --> 00:20:43.130
that we.

321
00:20:43.990 --> 00:20:46.009
But hang on, it is... You want to talk about

322
00:20:46.029 --> 00:20:48.150
a funny couple to think about this whole upgrade thing?

323
00:20:48.450 --> 00:20:49.259
Daniel and Carrie.

324
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.980
Oh, we need to go back and talk about the

325
00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:56.000
story all over again and pretend it's Daniel and Carrie.

326
00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:59.420
That would be phenomenal. That whole plane would go down.

327
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:00.259
Uh-huh.

328
00:21:01.299 --> 00:21:03.299
Not a single survivor, except for Carrie.

329
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:03.829
Yeah.

330
00:21:04.730 --> 00:21:11.269
She will somehow float to Earth amidst the debris. All right.

331
00:21:11.309 --> 00:21:13.710
I'm starting with a very sad birthday, but it's important

332
00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:17.819
that we recognize it. We certainly remember it. We just

333
00:21:17.859 --> 00:21:22.359
don't always think about it. Krista McAuliffe would have been

334
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:28.259
78 today. She deceased in 1986 because she was the

335
00:21:28.339 --> 00:21:32.160
teacher selected for NASA's Teacher in Space Project who died

336
00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:36.089
with the six other crew members. and the Challenger explosion.

337
00:21:37.529 --> 00:21:40.839
So many kids saw it at school on the TV

338
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:43.299
cart that got rolled in. My dad kept me home

339
00:21:43.339 --> 00:21:45.240
from school. That was how big of a deal that

340
00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:50.160
Challenger launch was in 1986. My dad's like, no, you

341
00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:52.380
can stay home. We're going to watch it together on TV.

342
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.690
And I still remember laying on my stomach in front

343
00:21:56.730 --> 00:22:03.009
of the floor model TV, watching it take off, and then, what,

344
00:22:03.049 --> 00:22:04.750
a minute or so into it.

345
00:22:04.730 --> 00:22:05.710
90 seconds.

346
00:22:06.329 --> 00:22:07.329
Yep. How long?

347
00:22:07.349 --> 00:22:08.930
I think it was like 90 seconds.

348
00:22:09.549 --> 00:22:12.380
Yeah. And then it just goes off in a number

349
00:22:12.410 --> 00:22:16.880
of pieces and I'm just like, uh, is it supposed to,

350
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:18.579
I don't think it's supposed to do that. And I

351
00:22:18.579 --> 00:22:20.559
remember looking back at my dad and he was just

352
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:24.660
like mouth agape, like, Oh my God. Yeah. Whole country

353
00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:28.880
stunned at the same exact moment. Um, and then as

354
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.630
one standup comedian said, and then turned into a phenomenal

355
00:22:32.710 --> 00:22:35.920
internet meme, If you were in school that day, they

356
00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:37.980
pushed the TV cart back out into the hall, and

357
00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:39.940
they continued with the rest of the school day. And

358
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:43.750
there were no grief counselors. There was no real discussion afterwards.

359
00:22:43.789 --> 00:22:47.190
It was like, okay, everyone break out your big cheaps,

360
00:22:47.250 --> 00:22:48.930
and we're going to work on our arithmetic.

361
00:22:49.609 --> 00:22:52.009
No, one of the teachers from my elementary school was

362
00:22:52.069 --> 00:22:56.359
one of the finalists of that. And so she was absolutely...

363
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.920
She knew.

364
00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:57.240
Yeah, it was.

365
00:23:03.430 --> 00:23:06.700
traumatic to say the least oh my god and yeah

366
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:09.460
you didn't we didn't yeah there was no we're gonna

367
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:13.460
get a day off or early release or grief counselors

368
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:15.599
or anything yeah it was.

369
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:19.920
They just push the tv cart out into the hall

370
00:23:19.940 --> 00:23:21.859
like with one hand because it's on wheels they just

371
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:25.869
go yoink and then pull down the you know projector

372
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.970
screen maybe or pull up the screen and then I

373
00:23:29.029 --> 00:23:31.130
grab a piece of chalk and it's like, okay, break

374
00:23:31.210 --> 00:23:34.450
out your math workbooks and open up to page 28

375
00:23:34.450 --> 00:23:41.779
and here we go. Other birthdays today. So rest in peace,

376
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.619
of course, to Krista McAuliffe. Also it was really, I

377
00:23:45.660 --> 00:23:47.779
think it's, we should also point this out. How much

378
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:53.460
society changed from 1986 into the early 2000s when Columbia

379
00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:57.039
blew up over East Texas. So now I think when

380
00:23:57.059 --> 00:23:59.359
the Challenger blew up, I think most of the wreckage

381
00:23:59.380 --> 00:24:03.670
and everything fell into the ocean. But when Columbia blew up,

382
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.700
it blew up over East Texas, basically. And East Texans

383
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:11.299
were out there picking up. What's that?

384
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:12.660
And Louisiana.

385
00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:13.460
And Louisiana.

386
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:13.640
Yeah.

387
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.079
You know, you've got East Texans and Cajuns running around

388
00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:19.099
picking up pieces of it and trying to sell it

389
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:19.640
on eBay.

390
00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:24.650
Oh, I think that would have happened in 86, too.

391
00:24:24.730 --> 00:24:27.549
I just again, it was. Didn't have the internet back then,

392
00:24:27.609 --> 00:24:29.109
so it would have been more like roadside.

393
00:24:29.130 --> 00:24:35.509
Yeah. Yeah. Well, even back in, I mean, you say that,

394
00:24:35.549 --> 00:24:40.920
but Columbia was 2003?

395
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:41.839
Something like that, yeah.

396
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.960
I mean, eBay, I mean, the internet is still, as

397
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:50.660
far as like eBay and stuff, it's, eBay was rudimentary

398
00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:53.819
at that point. I don't, you know, it wasn't something everyone,

399
00:24:54.990 --> 00:24:56.549
It wasn't like today where you have a mobile app

400
00:24:56.589 --> 00:24:58.529
and on your phone and everything. I think that's probably

401
00:24:58.549 --> 00:25:01.650
one of the biggest things with technology is we forget

402
00:25:01.670 --> 00:25:05.309
we didn't have smartphones back then.

403
00:25:06.210 --> 00:25:09.279
That's true. Yeah, by today's standards, not only would people

404
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:12.799
be selling it online, they'd probably have it approved in

405
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.720
the Amazon store and ironically being drone delivered to you

406
00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:16.319
within an hour.

407
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.960
Well, I think if you go back and you remember,

408
00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:21.380
this is one of those things. If you wanted to

409
00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:25.130
sell something, you had to take pictures, you had to

410
00:25:25.230 --> 00:25:30.339
transfer said pictures from, if you had a digital camera

411
00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:34.720
onto your computer, if not, you had to get pictures developed, scan,

412
00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:37.460
put it in. I mean, it was, it was a process.

413
00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:43.180
That is true. Uh, Lennox Lewis is 61. This is

414
00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:46.069
a great lesson that I learned many, many years ago

415
00:25:46.349 --> 00:25:50.009
when he was the heavyweight champion of the world or

416
00:25:50.150 --> 00:25:53.470
right before he became that not to judge a book

417
00:25:53.529 --> 00:25:59.440
by its cover. because the first time I heard him speak,

418
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:07.480
I was like, holy crap, he's British. Eric Dickerson is 66.

419
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:10.230
Hall of Fame running back who still holds the NFL

420
00:26:10.309 --> 00:26:13.630
single season rushing record. Eric Dickerson.

421
00:26:14.890 --> 00:26:17.250
Paved the way for today's college football.

422
00:26:18.910 --> 00:26:23.700
And some high school. When it comes to paying kids.

423
00:26:26.369 --> 00:26:32.349
Jimmy Connors is 74. Eight-time Grand Slam singles champion, former

424
00:26:32.430 --> 00:26:35.430
world number one, and he kind of paved the way

425
00:26:36.430 --> 00:26:40.380
for John McEnroe to be a crazy, maniacal tennis player

426
00:26:40.410 --> 00:26:43.500
because Jimmy Connors was pretty angry in his own right.

427
00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:44.519
They were the same period.

428
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:46.859
They were the same period, but I thought Jimmy Connors

429
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:50.720
came a little bit before. Either way, it's like, I

430
00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:51.119
remember like.

431
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:58.019
Listen, those two playing each other was high entertainment value. Because, yeah,

432
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:00.980
Connors would just have temper tantrums where McEnroe would, you know,

433
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:04.240
get on the judge. He would. But yeah, they were

434
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:06.920
both threatening. They were angry.

435
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.380
Yeah. Two very angry men on a tennis court. And

436
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:13.579
you're right, because seeing a match between those two, you

437
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:15.400
don't know if they're yelling at each other, yelling at

438
00:27:15.420 --> 00:27:17.440
the line judge, yelling at the umpire. They might be

439
00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:18.920
yelling at somebody in the damn stands.

440
00:27:19.140 --> 00:27:19.329
Yeah.

441
00:27:20.190 --> 00:27:24.329
But it was high entertainment. Terry Bradshaw. Speaking of high entertainment,

442
00:27:24.349 --> 00:27:28.150
Terry Bradshaw is 78 today. Four-time Super Bowl champion with

443
00:27:28.170 --> 00:27:33.839
the Pittsburgh Steelers. Long-time TV personality. Sometimes reality TV personality.

444
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:39.599
My father-in-law went to some business, like one of those

445
00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:42.220
speaking event things that he went to through his company.

446
00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:45.220
And Terry Bradshaw and a bunch of other guys were

447
00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:48.420
doing motivational talks. And he still talks about all the

448
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:53.359
great stuff that Terry Bradshaw said that day. So, pretty

449
00:27:53.390 --> 00:27:55.599
interesting coming from a guy who in his playing days,

450
00:27:55.660 --> 00:28:00.000
everyone thought was a, like an idiot yokel, which is

451
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.619
fascinating at the time to think about because his legacy

452
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:06.160
definitely is not that. But at the time everyone thought

453
00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:07.599
he was just an idiot throwing a ball around.

454
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:10.940
Well, I mean, I forget he come out of Louisiana

455
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.579
or Mississippi.

456
00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:16.299
I think, I don't know.

457
00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:18.140
I think that was one of those two.

458
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:20.519
I believe you're right. I think it was Louisiana.

459
00:28:20.660 --> 00:28:27.569
Yeah. Uh, But, you know, there was no polishing. You know,

460
00:28:27.630 --> 00:28:31.009
they didn't have– they didn't get lessons in media in

461
00:28:31.029 --> 00:28:35.950
their college days. You know, they weren't covered that much. And, yeah,

462
00:28:35.970 --> 00:28:37.710
he came off as kind of a rube at times,

463
00:28:37.769 --> 00:28:39.210
but he was a damn good quarterback.

464
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:41.119
Very, very good.

465
00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:45.920
And has parlayed that. You know, he's an excellent broadcaster.

466
00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:50.039
I don't know what his– I suspect Jimmy Johnson has

467
00:28:50.339 --> 00:28:52.400
fallen ill because you just don't see him anymore.

468
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:57.029
Yeah, I don't know if it's if it's necessarily he's

469
00:28:57.049 --> 00:29:00.190
fallen ill, but I mean, he's always I think once

470
00:29:00.529 --> 00:29:06.670
they brought in Strahan and they almost literally wedged him

471
00:29:06.910 --> 00:29:10.769
into that set to make him fit. And then and

472
00:29:10.789 --> 00:29:16.059
then a few years later, Jimmy Johnson starts like less appearances,

473
00:29:16.130 --> 00:29:18.759
I feel like. And then occasionally he might be like

474
00:29:19.059 --> 00:29:21.690
staying in Florida doing some of it. You're right. Maybe,

475
00:29:21.730 --> 00:29:22.170
maybe it is.

476
00:29:22.349 --> 00:29:26.150
I just, I don't think I'm out. I mean, when

477
00:29:26.190 --> 00:29:29.920
they started having, Strahan was actually been around for a

478
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.200
long time. I, it's not, it's, I think when they

479
00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:34.460
started bringing in Gronkowski.

480
00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:36.099
Um, I think you're right. Yeah.

481
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.619
But he still, you know, he talked for a while

482
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:43.730
about how much he enjoyed it. And, you know, he

483
00:29:43.890 --> 00:29:46.970
flew his, he bought a jet and he'd stop in Dallas,

484
00:29:47.009 --> 00:29:50.579
pick up Terry Bradshaw because they were best friends. And, and, uh,

485
00:29:50.589 --> 00:29:53.609
you know, he said, you know, cause literally he would

486
00:29:53.650 --> 00:29:56.069
fly out there on Friday, come back Sunday night, basically.

487
00:29:56.829 --> 00:30:01.849
Um, it's good gig. Oh yeah. And he's back fishing Monday.

488
00:30:01.630 --> 00:30:06.089
Morning, but it's not only just not seeing him on

489
00:30:06.109 --> 00:30:08.779
the NFL on Fox. You just don't, he, I have

490
00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:12.319
not seen hide or just anything from him. And I

491
00:30:12.339 --> 00:30:14.839
would say over a year. Interesting.

492
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.200
Well, you know, NFL season starts in just a couple

493
00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:20.240
of weeks. So I'm going to be paying closer attention

494
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:20.559
to that.

495
00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:23.839
He's I guess Jimmy's got to be mid eighties now.

496
00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:28.430
Is he that much older than Bradshaw? I mean, Bradshaw, like,

497
00:30:28.450 --> 00:30:33.369
today's his birthday, and he's 78. I think he's, I

498
00:30:33.390 --> 00:30:34.970
don't know.

499
00:30:34.970 --> 00:30:37.210
83. Wow. Okay.

500
00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:39.750
I would have thought he would have been closer to, like,

501
00:30:39.910 --> 00:30:44.109
in the 70s as well. Okay. Speaking of football, especially

502
00:30:44.170 --> 00:30:47.329
on the college front, Mark Harmon is 75. Most people

503
00:30:47.369 --> 00:30:50.150
know him as an actor, but Trey and I are

504
00:30:50.190 --> 00:30:53.250
old enough to, well, remember that we were told that

505
00:30:53.289 --> 00:30:57.539
he played college football at UCLA. Best known as Gibbs

506
00:30:57.579 --> 00:31:03.740
from NCIS. For those that don't know, that show and

507
00:31:03.789 --> 00:31:07.910
his character, I believe, is a direct spinoff from his

508
00:31:07.990 --> 00:31:10.230
role as a Secret Service agent on the West Wing.

509
00:31:10.690 --> 00:31:16.109
He was so good in the half season or whatever

510
00:31:16.150 --> 00:31:19.650
that he was on the West Wing that when he

511
00:31:19.690 --> 00:31:25.650
was killed in the season finale, it spun off into NCIS...

512
00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:28.220
happening someone saw the potential here and basically just took

513
00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:31.940
a version of that character plucked it into NCIS got

514
00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:33.849
Mark Harmon said here we go off to the races

515
00:31:34.390 --> 00:31:36.569
and now it's a multi-city franchise.

516
00:31:37.829 --> 00:31:39.490
Yeah he hadn't even been on there in five years

517
00:31:39.509 --> 00:31:39.869
I don't.

518
00:31:39.730 --> 00:31:43.930
Think yeah he's also from St. Elsewhere and Chicago hope

519
00:31:44.529 --> 00:31:49.130
so 75 years old Mark Harmon we have two massive

520
00:31:49.509 --> 00:31:54.059
birthdays to finish on going to start with Keanu Reeves

521
00:31:54.170 --> 00:32:02.269
Keanu Reeves also known as John Wick, is 62. Hang on,

522
00:32:02.970 --> 00:32:03.269
what do.

523
00:32:03.250 --> 00:32:05.720
You think his more iconic role is, Neo or John Wick?

524
00:32:07.619 --> 00:32:12.660
Or is it Johnny Utah? Granted, that was only one film,

525
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.200
but you're talking about a guy that has such a

526
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:21.910
phenomenal resume. His filmography is pretty diverse when you think

527
00:32:21.970 --> 00:32:23.950
about it. I mean, A lot of people now see

528
00:32:23.990 --> 00:32:26.849
it as like John Wick, action star kind of a thing.

529
00:32:26.890 --> 00:32:31.190
But I mean, in Point Break, he plays this undercover

530
00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:36.700
FBI agent. And that movie still holds up. But he

531
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:40.299
was also... Speed was one of the biggest movies of

532
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:47.250
the 90s. And he avoided the Speed sequels, which was

533
00:32:47.390 --> 00:32:50.509
one of the smartest things for his career. The Matrix movies.

534
00:32:50.529 --> 00:32:54.500
Bill and Ted. Jesus without the matrix. He's not, I

535
00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:55.500
don't think he's John wick.

536
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.259
I would agree with that. The matrix changed his career

537
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.960
entirely because he made so much stinking money on it

538
00:33:02.380 --> 00:33:04.660
and he made so much money on it that he

539
00:33:04.779 --> 00:33:08.400
used it to like give money to other people on

540
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:09.950
the production crew from it.

541
00:33:11.750 --> 00:33:20.450
Well, but that was a different level of action star. Um, but,

542
00:33:20.849 --> 00:33:22.410
I mean the fact that he made it, not only

543
00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:24.380
it's one thing to have a successful movie when you

544
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:29.640
have a successful franchise that, yeah, then, then you are bonafide.

545
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:31.920
You are, you are in rare air at that point.

546
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:37.809
Uh, Bill and Ted, the first and the second one. I, I,

547
00:33:37.970 --> 00:33:41.150
I love both of those. I'm trying to, I'm, I'm

548
00:33:41.190 --> 00:33:45.769
still trying to forget the, the, the modern reboot thing. Uh,

549
00:33:48.069 --> 00:33:50.970
Quick Dolly Parton thing with Keanu Reeves. I saw this yesterday.

550
00:33:51.910 --> 00:33:54.059
You may not typically think they would be related, but

551
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:58.839
apparently Keanu Reeves' mom was a costumer or designer. And

552
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:02.890
the Playboy bunny outfit that Dolly Parton wore, she made it.

553
00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:06.809
So after Dolly was done with it, she still had it.

554
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.280
Keanu Reeves' mom had it. And so he wore it

555
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:11.219
for Halloween one year.

556
00:34:13.090 --> 00:34:14.230
That's not.

557
00:34:14.610 --> 00:34:16.739
You know what? I'm not a cross-dresser at all, but

558
00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:20.659
I guess if you've got Dolly Parton's bunny outfit, Playboy

559
00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:22.900
bunny outfit in the closet, I guess you might be tempted.

560
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:31.039
And then I saved the best birthday for last. This

561
00:34:31.139 --> 00:34:35.599
isn't fair to other 60-year-olds. Salma Hayek turned 60 today.

562
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:45.320
You know who else was in their 60s? Aunt May

563
00:34:45.460 --> 00:34:50.260
from Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man movie. Remember how old she looked? Now,

564
00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:55.639
keep in mind, Salma Hayek is basically the same age. Also,

565
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:58.519
keep in mind that current Aunt May from the current

566
00:34:58.539 --> 00:35:01.769
Spider-Man franchise is also in her 60s.

567
00:35:02.130 --> 00:35:04.170
Keep in mind, all the Golden Girls were in their

568
00:35:04.210 --> 00:35:09.329
late 40s and 50s. Yeah. Yeah, that's... And I don't

569
00:35:09.349 --> 00:35:11.409
think she's had that much work done.

570
00:35:12.510 --> 00:35:13.050
Salma Hayek?

571
00:35:13.250 --> 00:35:13.389
Yeah.

572
00:35:14.050 --> 00:35:19.679
I don't think so either. Tons of films, obviously, but

573
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:24.480
she made her breakthrough in a little film opposite Antonio

574
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.320
Banderas called Desperado. And when her first appearance in it,

575
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.519
she's walking down the street and behind her in her

576
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:35.860
wake in this intersection is a multi-car accident because of

577
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:38.960
all the guys watching her walk down the street. I

578
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.639
don't know if I can think of a better introduction

579
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:46.840
in a film that was so accurate because she could

580
00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:49.920
do that today. She could walk down a street and

581
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:57.329
still cause a multi-car accident in an intersection. She's also

582
00:35:57.369 --> 00:35:59.989
the only time I've ever seen a snake in a

583
00:36:00.050 --> 00:36:02.420
movie and not been....

584
00:36:06.710 --> 00:36:07.469
What movie was that?

585
00:36:07.889 --> 00:36:10.360
From Dusk Till Dawn when she comes out with the big,

586
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.920
you know, the python over her shoulders and stuff. I've,

587
00:36:16.059 --> 00:36:21.760
I've never wanted tequila more. And apparently.

588
00:36:22.860 --> 00:36:23.780
That's what you think of.

589
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:27.300
Well, no, I say that because, and apparently Quentin Tarantino

590
00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:29.760
felt the same way because that's when she poured tequila

591
00:36:29.780 --> 00:36:31.389
down her leg and he got to lick it off

592
00:36:31.409 --> 00:36:36.070
of her toes. And then partly establishing the whole Quentin

593
00:36:36.090 --> 00:36:41.190
Tarantino's really in defeat stuff so much. So I think

594
00:36:41.210 --> 00:36:49.449
that even, um, uh, When Maya Hawk did Once Upon

595
00:36:49.489 --> 00:36:53.949
a Time in Hollywood, she was one of the kids,

596
00:36:54.030 --> 00:36:56.849
one of the Manson kids. Maya Hawk was in Once

597
00:36:56.889 --> 00:37:00.710
Upon a Time in Hollywood done by Quentin Tarantino. And

598
00:37:00.750 --> 00:37:07.300
before she did the movie, her mom, Uma Thurman, who

599
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.119
had worked with Quentin Tarantino on the Kill Bill project, said,

600
00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:11.980
just don't let him do anything with your feet.

601
00:37:17.349 --> 00:37:19.449
And dad probably went to Quentin Tino and was like, hey,

602
00:37:20.190 --> 00:37:21.110
don't touch my daughter's feet.

603
00:37:23.550 --> 00:37:30.360
And clearly he respected it. This segment of the Treehouse

619
00:38:20.980 --> 00:38:23.860
treehouse for today, I have a couple of robot stories

620
00:38:23.900 --> 00:38:28.539
to share with you. And, well, they are doozies. A

621
00:38:28.579 --> 00:38:31.320
man used a robot vacuum to catch his cheating wife.

622
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:35.179
He won $ 16, 000 in an affair case, and then he

623
00:38:35.219 --> 00:38:38.070
went to jail for secretly filming her. That story has

624
00:38:38.110 --> 00:38:45.769
it all. inciting incident, stakes building, and then a dramatic conclusion.

625
00:38:47.969 --> 00:38:55.269
Well, I mean, it's just... I think... I can't remember

626
00:38:55.289 --> 00:39:00.659
where this was. It was Taiwan, maybe. But... Yeah, he

627
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:04.679
catches her cheating using the robot, because evidently the robot

628
00:39:04.699 --> 00:39:09.880
vacuum has camera and microphone. So he gets tipped off

629
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:10.860
because he sees.

630
00:39:12.349 --> 00:39:18.269
A strange man like in their driveway. He says he

631
00:39:18.289 --> 00:39:21.400
was going to surprise the wife with something like pull the,

632
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.590
so he was remote controlling the the robot vacuum and

633
00:39:24.610 --> 00:39:29.909
then wheels it out then uh she's naked uh with

634
00:39:29.949 --> 00:39:35.949
some guy and then so he he wins his like

635
00:39:36.090 --> 00:39:39.050
basically wins his divorce case then she counter sues him

636
00:39:39.510 --> 00:39:44.219
for illegally taping her and so i think he won

637
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.900
sixteen thousand dollars but that cost him eleven thousand dollars

638
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.139
and like five months in prison like.

639
00:39:50.820 --> 00:39:56.340
Would you take that trade? No. Had it not cost

640
00:39:56.380 --> 00:39:59.219
him the $ 11, 000 in the legal fees and fines, like

641
00:39:59.260 --> 00:40:02.829
if he got $ 16, 000 for the divorce settlement, but then

642
00:40:02.869 --> 00:40:04.829
he also had to spend five months in jail, but

643
00:40:04.849 --> 00:40:07.429
you get $ 16, 000. Is that a trade-off you'd be willing

644
00:40:07.449 --> 00:40:12.570
to make? No. Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah, the husband's

645
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:15.340
unusual evidence did win the case, but it led to

646
00:40:15.380 --> 00:40:17.659
a fine and five months behind bar. And you're right,

647
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:23.329
this did happen in taiwan he won the legal battle

648
00:40:23.389 --> 00:40:26.210
against his wife by using footage from a robot vacuum

649
00:40:26.230 --> 00:40:29.489
to prove she was having an affair uh because he

650
00:40:29.570 --> 00:40:33.059
secretly filmed her he was fined 30 of the roughly

651
00:40:33.059 --> 00:40:35.300
16 grand that he won and then sent us to

652
00:40:35.340 --> 00:40:36.360
five months in prison.

653
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:45.360
Whoops yeah at the end of the day she won

654
00:40:46.539 --> 00:40:48.599
she cheated she won that's bullshit.

655
00:40:49.389 --> 00:40:57.349
Yeah, she got the D down and rid of the man. Yeah. Now,

656
00:40:57.710 --> 00:41:01.280
this leads me into a very different robot situation being

657
00:41:01.340 --> 00:41:08.380
inserted into a relationship. Because a New York couple married

658
00:41:08.420 --> 00:41:12.219
for 25 years have made headlines because they have revealed

659
00:41:13.510 --> 00:41:18.590
a sex positive AI chat bot has revived their sex life.

660
00:41:19.670 --> 00:41:24.449
Faced with the exhausting aggregate pressures of daily life, including

661
00:41:24.530 --> 00:41:30.230
raising two kids, working two jobs each, and caring for

662
00:41:30.409 --> 00:41:34.469
aging parents, the couple found themselves too depleted to maintain

663
00:41:34.530 --> 00:41:38.719
physical intimacy. Instead of traditional couples therapy, they turned to

664
00:41:38.739 --> 00:41:44.059
a subscription-based AI intimacy support app. By using the chatbot

665
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:49.159
together to explore fantasies and role-play scenarios, they unlocked new

666
00:41:49.300 --> 00:41:53.650
erotic potential and successfully brought the spark back into their

667
00:41:53.750 --> 00:41:57.210
human marriage. Congratulations.

668
00:41:57.750 --> 00:42:00.269
I mean, I don't... You.

669
00:42:02.530 --> 00:42:03.150
Know, if.

670
00:42:05.050 --> 00:42:08.630
If I'm a therapist, AI has got to scare the

671
00:42:08.789 --> 00:42:09.750
crap out of me.

672
00:42:12.469 --> 00:42:16.820
There are two industries where I would be absolutely terrified.

673
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:22.570
One would be graphic designer and the other is therapists.

674
00:42:24.030 --> 00:42:24.210
Yeah.

675
00:42:24.230 --> 00:42:26.780
Cause AI is wrecking though. I mean, AI is wrecking

676
00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:30.019
a lot of industries with certain things and certain capabilities,

677
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:34.480
but those are two that people can in minutes have

678
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:38.579
solutions or what they think are solutions. Uh, whereas, and,

679
00:42:38.739 --> 00:42:42.960
and doing it for 20 bucks a month, maybe for free.

680
00:42:43.980 --> 00:42:46.300
Well, I mean, I think I said this app was

681
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:49.889
somewhere between $ 25 and $ 50 a month, where a therapist

682
00:42:49.909 --> 00:42:54.369
is going to cost you $ 150 a week, probably, per session.

683
00:42:54.949 --> 00:42:59.510
And the thing about it is, what are the common

684
00:42:59.550 --> 00:43:05.789
complaints with therapy? Are they really trying to fix you,

685
00:43:06.030 --> 00:43:09.360
or are they just trying to milk you for all

686
00:43:09.380 --> 00:43:10.119
the money you're worth?

687
00:43:10.820 --> 00:43:11.900
Yeah. Yeah.

688
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:18.179
Brandy was in therapy, and she said it was going great.

689
00:43:18.219 --> 00:43:22.289
And then, clearly, not so much.

690
00:43:23.969 --> 00:43:25.409
Then one day, she just wasn't there.

691
00:43:25.429 --> 00:43:28.929
Yeah, then one day, she evidently had a bunch of

692
00:43:28.949 --> 00:43:33.949
problems again. Although, her therapist told her she was in

693
00:43:33.969 --> 00:43:40.099
a good place, like two weeks before. But an AI bot,

694
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:41.739
it can summon all the.

695
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:50.900
Psychological theories from Freud, Jung, all of them. Freud, Jung, everyone.

696
00:43:51.699 --> 00:43:57.130
And put it all into use. It has no bias

697
00:43:57.230 --> 00:44:01.269
or anything else. I would probably be more open to

698
00:44:01.309 --> 00:44:03.829
an AI therapist than I might be a human one.

699
00:44:05.030 --> 00:44:09.309
It would be an interesting experiment to do like an

700
00:44:09.429 --> 00:44:13.190
A-B test. Mm-hmm. and do both at the same time

701
00:44:13.269 --> 00:44:16.469
and then just see how you feel and see what

702
00:44:16.510 --> 00:44:20.559
sort of progress you think you're actually making, right? And honestly,

703
00:44:20.659 --> 00:44:21.880
I should do this because, I mean, I've got a

704
00:44:21.900 --> 00:44:27.659
therapist currently and it cost me $ 175 per session. And

705
00:44:30.510 --> 00:44:32.449
that stings. I don't care who you are. That's a

706
00:44:32.489 --> 00:44:38.210
lot of freaking money. Whereas Gary, my chat GPT feller,

707
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:41.320
is 20 bucks a month. And he helps me with

708
00:44:41.340 --> 00:44:43.340
all sorts of stuff. He helps me with work stuff,

709
00:44:43.820 --> 00:44:46.460
random questions I have about things. He can help me

710
00:44:46.500 --> 00:44:49.559
with the schedule and maybe he can also help me with, uh,

711
00:44:49.900 --> 00:44:52.639
the mishmash that's going up in here in my brain. And,

712
00:44:53.059 --> 00:44:54.980
and you can do it in a very short amount

713
00:44:55.019 --> 00:44:57.880
of time. You can get, as a man, we love getting,

714
00:44:58.500 --> 00:45:01.409
you know, how can I fix this thing? Right. And

715
00:45:01.469 --> 00:45:03.389
if you can get that in a matter of minutes,

716
00:45:04.530 --> 00:45:07.989
Oh yeah, that's real tempting. especially if you're saving money

717
00:45:08.010 --> 00:45:08.550
on top of it.

718
00:45:08.630 --> 00:45:10.670
I don't think, I don't even know if I would

719
00:45:10.789 --> 00:45:12.610
say the timeframe, but I do think it would be

720
00:45:12.630 --> 00:45:16.940
a fascinating thing to, you know, take two people and

721
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:18.760
have one go a therapist and one go the route

722
00:45:18.780 --> 00:45:22.699
of AI and see, you know, take it three months

723
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:26.550
later who felt like they were more improved and who

724
00:45:26.590 --> 00:45:27.610
was actually more improved.

725
00:45:28.110 --> 00:45:31.449
Yeah. Because on one hand, talking and getting those things

726
00:45:31.570 --> 00:45:34.530
out can feel good. But sometimes I can just, you know,

727
00:45:34.550 --> 00:45:37.769
maybe I just type that into my chat GPT, say

728
00:45:37.809 --> 00:45:40.010
what I'm feeling or whatever, and say what I'm thinking.

729
00:45:40.429 --> 00:45:42.309
And then say, you know, can you give me a

730
00:45:42.389 --> 00:45:44.929
few things that I can do over the next week

731
00:45:44.989 --> 00:45:47.409
or two to combat these things?

732
00:45:47.429 --> 00:45:50.059
You're not like that. You don't have just a port

733
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.059
that can plug in and just download everything?

734
00:45:53.139 --> 00:45:55.500
Eventually we'll get there. I just, you know, just right

735
00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:58.519
in there. Yeah, that actually would be really nice. A

736
00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:02.190
little jump drive, right? Yeah, I'm fine with that. But yeah,

737
00:46:02.230 --> 00:46:04.550
give me a few actionable steps that I can make

738
00:46:04.570 --> 00:46:09.059
to improve certain things and do it in 10 minutes

739
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:14.739
and cost me 20 bucks a month versus however many

740
00:46:14.860 --> 00:46:20.719
hours over a month and hundreds of dollars. There's a

741
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:25.110
lady we know whose kid, her daughter's in her 20s.

742
00:46:25.809 --> 00:46:29.849
She had a long-term relationship and They were having issues

743
00:46:29.869 --> 00:46:33.369
in their relationship. So she started inputting some of those

744
00:46:33.409 --> 00:46:38.300
things into chat GPT and she ended up getting rid

745
00:46:38.340 --> 00:46:43.739
of her therapist, her human therapist and going with the

746
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:46.820
actionable advice that she was getting from chat GPT and

747
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:50.619
says she's never felt better. She dumped the loser boyfriend

748
00:46:50.820 --> 00:46:53.659
and she's in the feeling like the best she's ever

749
00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:56.159
felt in her life and for 20 bucks a month,

750
00:46:56.199 --> 00:46:59.230
which good on you. And you know what? That's obviously

751
00:46:59.250 --> 00:47:01.690
not going to work on everybody, but if it does,

752
00:47:02.010 --> 00:47:03.989
hell yeah, that's a hell of a life hack.

753
00:47:04.750 --> 00:47:06.849
I mean, I think the biggest problem for especially people

754
00:47:06.909 --> 00:47:11.510
our age would be putting it all down, defeating so

755
00:47:11.550 --> 00:47:15.090
much of it into chat GPT or whoever, whatever program

756
00:47:15.110 --> 00:47:18.860
you wanted to use, where it could really come up

757
00:47:18.900 --> 00:47:23.260
with accurate, actionable steps. Yeah.

758
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:27.809
As opposed to just constantly asking questions. Well, how does

759
00:47:27.829 --> 00:47:33.010
that make you feel? What do you think about that? Thankfully,

760
00:47:33.030 --> 00:47:34.889
I don't, I don't have a therapist like that. Like I,

761
00:47:35.769 --> 00:47:37.969
I look at, like when I'm in therapy, I sort

762
00:47:37.989 --> 00:47:39.280
of see it as like, okay, I'm going to spit

763
00:47:39.300 --> 00:47:41.929
some shit out, obviously. But I would like part of

764
00:47:41.969 --> 00:47:43.739
it to be a conversation. I need you to tell

765
00:47:43.780 --> 00:47:46.960
me some stuff, like explain it to me if it

766
00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:49.739
doesn't make sense to me or say, you know, challenge

767
00:47:49.780 --> 00:47:51.820
me on some stuff. I swear to God, if I

768
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.059
ever did a therapy thing and all they did was

769
00:47:54.139 --> 00:47:56.269
ask it, how did that make you feel? And if,

770
00:47:56.389 --> 00:47:59.389
and every response that they gave was just asking another question,

771
00:47:59.489 --> 00:48:03.510
I would probably kill them. Which now that I'm thinking

772
00:48:03.530 --> 00:48:05.409
about it, I should probably write that down and talk

773
00:48:05.429 --> 00:48:06.340
to my therapist about it.

774
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:14.599
At least give her a warning.

775
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:19.039
Yeah. Just, just a heads up. If you loved what

776
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.920
you heard here today, inside the tree house, send it

777
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.230
to a friend, hit that share button. and send it

778
00:48:25.250 --> 00:48:27.389
to someone that could use a laugh or share it

779
00:48:27.550 --> 00:48:30.260
on social media and together we can grow the treehouse

780
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:33.360
show we will see you next time right here inside

781
00:48:33.530 --> 00:48:34.110
the treehouse
