0:56 It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with Trey Trinholt. Great, great, great show to start the week here inside the treehouse. And I don't know if I've ever read a more terrifying sentence than this one. Here we go. I dropped my ex-girlfriend off at a homeless shelter 10 years ago. She found me. I feel like this is the beginning of a new horror franchise. I know what you did last decade. I don't know if there's ever been a better breakup story than I dropped my ex-girlfriend off at a homeless shelter.

1:56 Yeah. You have a place to go? No. All right, then. Oh, that is so fantastic. He, I'm assuming it's a he, I really wish I wasn't making this up. I appreciate And also, there's an update. On this as well. He says on his original post, he says, I dated a girl named Cara about 10 years ago. Things went south. I eventually dropped her off at a homeless shelter. And months later, she showed up at my house uninvited. My roommate had to pretend I had moved to get her to leave. Fast forward to today.

2:42 He says, I'm married. I've moved multiple times, and I haven't spoken to her since. A few days ago, I got a message request from a random account. It was Kara. It says, hey, it's Kara. I know it's been a while. I've been looking for you a long time. Your wife is pretty. Do you ever think about me? I think about you every day. The guy says, hell no. He says, I screenshotted everything, blocked her immediately, and showed my wife. Never responded. The next day, an old acquaintance reached out asking if I'd ever dated someone named Cara. Apparently, they'd recently become friends, and Cara recognized me in an old photo.

3:25 I explained to my coworker, and they said they would block her. I hate this so much. The part that really freaked me out, she's apparently been trying to find me for years. Ten years. Ten years, he says, this woman's been out of my life. Considering she previously showed up at my house uninvited, I'm not brushing this off. I've reported the account, contacted the police, and documented everything. My wife and I have also locked down our social media, so for now we're safe. Nothing beats crazy. Yeah, and the original story is... I'll give you kind of the summation. Please. Met on Tinder, went out, had good chemistry.

4:19 Sure. He hit it like on the second or third date. Immediately after, and she had said that, so they're living in San Antonio at the time, but her goal was to, to move to Orlando to work at Disney World because she loved Disney. So after he hit it, she started talking about their Disney wedding. Oh. And so.... She's clearly goofy. Uh-huh. And he was like, yeah. And he didn't... He wasn't enthusiastic about the idea. She got, you know, she went crazy and stormed out. Didn't see her again for.

5:06 Like three months. Then she calls him. She's 90 minutes away in Kerrville. She met another guy on Tinder, immediately moved in with him. He said he was wealthy and would take care of her. He ended up like taking her ID, taking her keys and holding her hostage. And so she kind of broke free. Then he drives from San Antonio to Kerrville, picks her up. That's when he drops her off at the homeless shelter. And they don't even. They don't even have room in the indoor shelter. And, but he, he smartly was like, yeah, I can't help you. And then the last thing he hears is they bought her a ticket, a bus ticket to Orlando. So she could go chase her dreams.

5:52 So now we have an answer as to how it is. Florida is packed full of crazies because other States ship them to Florida. Yeah. You know, evidently Disney is a, a magnet. That is a strong flag to consider because early on in relationships, there's all sorts of red flags, green flags, right? Obviously, after making sweet, sweet love, she starts talking about your wedding. That's a bit of a red flag. But it's like a double red flag if it's a themed wedding.

6:32 I think... I'll one-up you on this theory of red flags. If you're dating someone who is above, I mean, I will go 18 years old, maybe 20, but I'm really going to go with 18, who thinks it's a dream job to work in an amusement park, that is a sign of batshit crazy. Best case scenario, severe ignorance. Yeah, okay. Incredibly sheltered life. It has a romantic notion of an amusement park in Disney World that simply is not there in reality.

7:22 You're not going to get to Orlando. They're not going to hire you to play Belle at the ball dancing with the Beast all day, every day. That's not how that works. You're probably going to start out, you know, like janitor or something. I mean, you know, best case scenario, goofy. Uh, I will say this, like, uh, obviously I love my wife, but there are, there are two things that, that probably would have been deal breakers for each of us at the beginning of our relationship for her. Had I just happened to have been an Eagles fan, probably would not, would not have worked out not only for her, but.

8:05 Also because her dad also a diehard Cowboys fan. I am of the same opinion. I don't think I could have been in a serious relationship with an Eagles fan. I'm not even sure if I could date one. But an additional layer to that is, had she been a crazy Disney fan, I would have been out. For two reasons. One, because it's kind of a red flag, and two, my mom is crazy into Disney stuff, and I don't want there to be that crossover there. I just. And it didn't have to be Disney. It could have been anything. I'm not obsessed with Star Wars. I'm not running around dressing like Wookiees at premieres or anything. Yeah, I waited in line for the first new movie.

8:53 That came out, but that's, I think, a fair amount of crazy there. Oh, you know you have that Leia costume. And the one from Return of the Jedi. I'm not... The gold bikini. Anyways. And now I'm all distracted. Sorry, I got a good visual there. But like, I'm not crazy into something like that. So I don't think that I could date. I don't think I could have dated her if she was crazy into something like that. Like, even if it was like not Disney, I'm trying to think of something else that people go crazy over.

9:34 But I don't know, like hair bears or something. Oh yeah. A healthy, like, I think it's the fine line between a healthy, like, and an obsession. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know that I want to have date anyone that's has an obsession. I don't, I don't think I could date. And now especially now, but even 20 years ago, I don't know that I could date someone that was an obsessive cowboy fan. I think obsessive fans of anything are hard to date because I'm not obsessive like that.

10:16 Like I get into my teams. Don't get me wrong. I know a lot about the Cowboys. I know a lot about, you know, rank range. I mean, I know a lot about his stuff, but. I might be in a bad mood a little bit if my team loses a tough game, but it really doesn't affect my life overall. You know, I, there was a time that my Saturdays, the outcome of my Saturdays in the fall depended on, on the, the Longhorns game. And But honestly, once, because I got to enjoy such a magical, the 2005 season, I went to almost every game, back to back, Rose Bowls, saw one of the greatest games in college football history.

11:03 And I was like, okay, my dreams have come true. I have seen them win a national championship. And ever since then, I've been like, you know, I watch them. But if they lose, am I going to be throwing things and be inconsolable for the rest of the day? No. Yeah. And that's a healthy attitude to have and to keep. I also did think about you the other day, speaking of red flags, or in this case, a pink one. I don't think I can find the video fast enough, but I was scrolling social. Media and a. Video of a young woman decorating her Christmas tree popped up on my feed. And I thought it was interesting because I guess it was supposed to be a thirst trap type situation.

11:53 Hang on. See if I found this. Hang on a second. I did. All right, here we go. Trey, let's say you're on a date with a girl and she says, Hey, do you want to come back to my place? And you're like, cool, let's do it. You walk in and you see that her Christmas tree is up. That, that, That's borderline. Now, what if that Christmas tree is pink? That's... So, I found the video. I pulled it up.

12:35 Right now, it's just a still image of a girl wearing a full-on pink outfit sitting on top of a ladder next to a bright pink Christmas tree as she's decorating it. Boy, this... the superficial question to this is how hot is she? Well, and not seeing anything blowing me away so far. I mean, she is in good shape. Yeah. Uh, her eyelashes do seem to be competing with the branches of the tree for overall length.

13:16 Which that's number one. I I'm so over. Um, but yeah, this is where it's like, I can tell she's trying to thirst trap this. She's wearing a cute little pink outfit next to her pink tree. So again, I go back to this. If you're on a date and you go back to her place and you walk in and see a glowing pink tree and let's say the outfit she's wearing on the date is also pink. What are you doing? Um, if I, if I think I'm going to get laid, I might stick around just for the sex, but, uh, then I'm going to be on my way as I will go coyote ugly, knock my arm off and get on my way. But first you want to see if you can make it a white Christmas. Uh-huh.

13:58 As someone who is, that is, that is obviously a big red flag on crazy, which we all know I like. So I'm going to, I'm going to roll the dice and think that it might be great sex. It might be so good that I might stick around for a time or two, but eventually I'm getting out of there. Like maybe through the holidays. Yeah, but if you are that into pink, I am going to guess that everything is pink. And I am going to guess at some point, my first inclination is there's some sort of Barbie obsession. Ooh, yeah, didn't think about that. She probably is a pink Corvette.

14:42 And yeah, so... porn star sex that comes along with it. Okay. I'll stick around for a little bit, uh, until I think the crazy is going to hurt me. Uh, you'll play Ken for a while. I'll roll the dice. I'll, I'll, I'll play with fire. I'll get burned and then. I'll, uh, you know, be on my way, but, and keep in mind, those dice are going to be fuzzy and pink. Yeah. That's, uh, along with the handcuffs. That's, man, you want to talk about the crazy hot matrix there. Please take us down. Please describe again the crazy hot matrix for those that are.

15:24 So here's a graph. One axis crazy, the other axis hot. And, you know, you draw a line. You go, okay, they do this. They're crazy hot. And then there's a certain section of the crazy hot matrix that you go, okay, that's a dude. I can't do it justice. If you have never seen the Crazy Hot Matrix, go to YouTube, search Crazy Hot Matrix, and watch it. It is classic. But, you know, basically, the notion is that for every level of crazy, it's typically going to be equally hot. Or it lends one side to the other. But typically... the unicorn is very hot, low, low, crazy. Yes. Again. And unicorn. Yeah.

16:16 That's the reason why it's called the unicorn. Yeah. I, I, at one point I thought Brady was in that, that matrix of, of, yeah, it turns out. Nope. I was wrong. Turns out her horn lied. Yeah. Yeah. I was, or she grew. Another one in my, in my phone. She was unicorn. And, uh, so yeah, So if that's your red flag, or if that's a difficult.... I was just really curious to know what you thought about, you know, like, not only on the Crazy Hot Matrix, the whole pink Christmas tree. I mean, I. I have known a few girls that are really into pink, and, you know, they're generally... That is a good sign of crazy.

17:04 Yeah. Or incredibly high maintenance. That would be the other. And or both. Yeah. But good sex. Honestly, you fell right pretty much exactly where I was expecting you to fall. So it shows you how well I know you. Okay. Am I the a-hole for taking over a gym machine from a girl who was hogging three machines at once? No. Oh, Jesus Christ. Gym etiquette. Here we go. Oh. Oh. I need a lot of context on this one. A lot. Let's get Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration in the Treehouse for your free roof inspection and property review.

17:49 Call 833-COOK-DFW today to get that scheduled. 833-COOK-DFW. The website is cookdfw.com. Daniel, part of the roofing process is knowing about ventilation and how important that can be to the life of the roof. That's something you guys look at. It's not just about shingles. Absolutely, Dan. A lot of homeowners underestimate the amount of attic heat buildup that their home has. Affects their AC system, affects their roof condition long term, affects just overall their home. And so when we come out, we make that assessment with the homeowner. We try to educate them, make sure they have the proper ventilation system. There is a calculation of this. We walk them around. If they're interested in going around, we show them what their intakes look like, what their exhaust system looks like, and try to make the best fit for their home. So that's a very common thing that we do, and it should be done every time you have construction done at your property. You need to be educated on what's happening and why.

18:47 And if you've ever dealt with a roofing contractor that didn't have a conversation with you about ventilation underneath that roof, then you need to call Daniel Cook at 833-COOK-DFW. So you get the full customer service experience that comes from Cook DFW. So use that number 833-COOK-DFW. Get that free inspection scheduled today. 833-COOK-DFW and the website cookdfw.com. Here's how gym etiquette should be. Like most things, Go back to your kindergarten days and remember things we were taught. And at the gym, one of the biggest ones is sharing. It's okay to share.

19:33 If you're working out on a piece of equipment at the gym, it is not yours until you're done with it. If someone comes up and says, hey, you mind if I work in with you? They're being polite when in reality, they shouldn't have to ask in the first place. The idea is. if you're physically doing the exercise, obviously no one else is going to do it. But as soon as you rack that weight or slot that pin and you're taking a rest between sets, someone else should be able to use that machine. And then you take turns. That's how it's supposed to go. And the context of this is far different than what we're talking about now. I will say, now there's one caveat to that. And mind you, this is only applicable to free weights. If you are on a machine, you should absolutely share. But if you're on free weights and you are at your last set and someone says, can I work in? And they're going to change the weight.

20:37 I do think it's okay. If you go, Hey, let me get my one last set in. And then, then it's yours. I would agree with that. And you shouldn't ask on like, let's just use the bench. If, if you're working out with a lot of weight and then they want to completely change the weight stack on it and adding a whole lot of time, then that's going to be a pain in the ass for everybody. Don't even mess with it. The only way I would ask someone, like if I saw you working out Trey and I was like, I want to work in, that's the only bench in this place. I'm only going to ask if that's cool with you if we're in the same sort of weight class when it comes to the amount of weight on the bar. Because I don't want you to have to spend a bunch of time or me to have to spend a bunch of time going from, you know, 185 to 85.

21:21 You know what I mean? So now let's get some context on this story because that's where I come from. You should take turns. And it pisses me off when I've asked people before, hey, man, you mind if I work in? Like, no, man, this is mine. No, it's not yours. You're not. Physically doing it are you doing the standard two minutes between sets that's plenty of time for me to get in and knock mine out before your next. One i i have the scenario that's about to unfold i have seen and it pisses me off to no end all right. Let's see here am i the a-hole for taking over a gym machine from a girl who was hogging three machines at once so i went to the gym today was about to use a machine for rdls rear dead lifts rear dead lifts for those who don't know um I started reaching for a 45-pound plate to unload it when this girl came out of nowhere telling me she was using it. I was confused because I hadn't seen anyone working on it, but I figured maybe I was distracted by my.

22:16 Music and hadn't noticed her, so I apologized and moved to a different machine. A few minutes later, I realized what she was actually doing. She was using three different machines and rotating between them, and these machines weren't even next to each other. One was literally on the opposite side of the room. So when she walked away again, I went back to the RDL machine, started unloading her 45 pounds and 25 pound plates. She came running over from the other side of the gym to tell me she was still using it. At that point, I'd had enough. I told her, no, you can't use both machines and continued unloading the weights. I dropped her 45 and 25 onto the floor and started my sets. She started throwing a fit saying, why can't I use both? Seriously? Because this is a public gym, not your personal training studio.

22:59 And he says, but wait, it gets better. She then decides to do planks on the floor right. Next to the RDL machine, exactly where I needed to stand to load and unload my weights. I told her she needed to move because she was blocking the loading area. She refused. At that point, I was beyond irritated. I kept working out, stepping over her and putting my five and ten plates down next to her. I even bent over her several times as I was saying, kiss my ass. Yes, I know. Not my finest moment. Meanwhile, she's on the floor making a whole production out of a dancing, singing weird. I ended up doing 10 sets on that machine before she finally left. Jesus. And he says, yes, part of me was being petty at this point. I understand supersets and rotating between machines, but I think there's a difference between doing that when the gym is empty and expecting everyone else to stay off three machines while you bounce around the entire gym.

23:50 So am I the a-hole for refusing to let her claim multiple machines and and for how I handled the conversation. Now, on a side note, the first thing that sticks out to me on this story was, it sounds like she can whip your ass if she's working out with 45s and 25s and you're doing 5s and 10s. You might want to tread lightly, brother. I was thinking the same thing as I'm reading through this is like, I mean, she's doing like twice the weight you are. You might want to be careful for it. She's squeezing the life out of you like a walnut. Not twice. It sounds like she'd do it 10 times.

24:34 I mean, it's like you're doing fives and tens, and she's doing 45s and 25s, or at least five times. I mean, there's a big difference there. Yeah. But beyond that point, no, you're not the asshole for this one, because... I have seen this, I have watched it. And that is so irritating when people expect you, you know, are using multiple machines. And it's so often in the gym these days, not only are they, no one, people typically aren't doing HIIT workouts where they're actually going directly from machine to machine and doing it quickly. It's typically they're lollygagging, you know, taking a selfie, playing with their music, checking their email, all the other crap. So no, you don't get to tie up machines just because especially three. Yeah.

25:27 This goes back to the whole sharing thing. Right. So I'll, my workouts typically consist of a super set of like opposing muscle groups. So when I'm doing weights, I'll do a chest exercise followed by a bicep exercise. Right. And then when I'm doing back, I'll do a shoulder. So I'll use two different things, but I'm always open to sharing. Like if you want to work in and take turns, I am all about it because I am all about that gym life etiquette because I've been working out in gyms since I was like 15, 14, especially like 13, if you include when I first started in middle school. But when I was working out in an actual public gym and not just like the workout room at school, right?

26:17 Take turns. Just take turns. And I hate the whole mentality of sitting there camping out on something and then claiming it is yours. Or like what this chick is doing, using multiple stations and saying they're yours and no one else can. Do anything with them. It's like, no, just take turns, people. Why is it so hard? Hold each other's hands when you're walking in line to the bathroom like we did in kindergarten and take turns. Everyone will be really so much happier. Well, and maybe this is something I don't know if they still do or not. when I was in high school and even in college, I actually took a weightlifting class in college. You were paired up with somebody a lot of times. So someone was spotting you, you were spotting them and it didn't always mean you were going to be in the same weight class. So, you know, taking plates off on and off of the bars was something that you just did. It's really not that big of a deal, especially if you're in the gym to lift weights. Um, so yeah, you shouldn't be bothered and you should not, especially trying to hog three machines.

27:26 Look to me, one machine is not yours. So certainly three are not either. I think when I think, and I think this is true of pretty much anybody, whether it's a bench that's free weights or like the leg curl machine, I don't know what it is with the leg curl machine, but this is, or the leg extension. This is where people camp. They'll do a set and then they, sit there on the thing. And what do they do? Trey fill up the phone. Yep. Next thing you know, it's been five minutes between sets and they realize, Oh, I got to do another set. And then next thing you know, they've been on that machine for half an hour and they've done like two sets or something. It's insane. Like extension, leg curls, sled, the sled where you're on your back and you're pushing up. Yeah.

28:11 Leg press. And it happens on the regular bench as well. A guy will do a set, then he'll sit on the end of the bench, pull his phone up, and he's sitting there forever. Yeah, but you're right. But those three, especially leg extension, leg curls, absolutely people camp out. And then we get into, okay, if you're really, are you here to really work out or are you here just to be seen? Because if you're here to work out, you shouldn't go more than a minute in between your reps. Really, it should probably be about 30 seconds at most. Depending on how you're lifting. Okay. Some science now is saying, like, to wait up to... Like, wait three minutes between heavy sets.

28:55 If you're doing heavy sets, okay. Yeah. But. If you're doing, like you're saying, like a HIIT-type workout or something, and you're trying to keep moving through all of it, end point is this. You should not be going more than three or four minutes between sets, no matter what workout you're doing in the gym. Right. And I could argue... with like leg extensions wrong wrong machine to really go super heavy sets because of your knees and chances are i can watch your form and you're not doing it right and you'd be better off isolating one leg at a time yeah uh but yeah that's oh god i'd forgotten about that la fitness oh it used to drive me crazy because and you know a lot of times it's like if you're doing a rotation you'd be like, okay, I'm watching that person that's on the leg extension. And I've done a whole three sets, and they haven't moved.

29:53 Yeah. Haven't moved, haven't lifted, haven't done nothing, haven't done a thing. And you time it out. It's like, oh, you just sat on that machine for 15 frigging minutes. And the only exercise you got was your thumb going swipe, swipe, swipe. The gym, man. The gym is one of the places that is both a place of love and hate for me. I love being there. I love working out. but I also hate a lot of the people that are there at the same time. And, you know, I think about it and maybe that's why I really love kettlebell so much as just me.

30:36 And I, I don't have to mess with anybody else. No. And because you need so much room, no one's really going to encroach on your space with those things. Cause you're swinging them around. Also, no one's going to be an a-hole to you because you're holding deadly weapons. Yeah. This segment of The Treehouse is brought to you by Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. To get your free roof inspection and property review, call the cooks today at 833-COOK-DFW. Now is a great time to get that done because, you know, I mean, it's cooler outside. Everybody's in a better mood. And that includes the cooks because it's not 115 degrees on the roof right now. So they're really happy to jump up there this time of year and check to see if you've got any major problems.

31:23 And it's just a good time to do it because it's not in the middle of prime time storm season. So it's a great time to get that roof looked at to see how it fared through the previous year and to see if it's going to hold up for the next storm season. Well, and also get it checked out before we get a freeze and like some ice that will do further damage. That's right. 833-COOK-DFW or the website cookdfw.com. All right, today is Tuesday, November 10th, 2026. Let's celebrate today with some celebrity birthdays.

32:03 Oh, okay, not bad. Mackenzie Foy is 26 today. Mackenzie Foy played young Murph in Interstellar. Did you ever see Interstellar, Trey? McConaughey? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good movie. Yeah. So the little girl that played young Murph is now 26. Wow. Another young female Hollywood star. Kiernan Shipka is 27. She most famously played Sally Draper on Mad Men. She was also Sabrina on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

32:45 And I'm trying to remember. Trey, can you look this up real quick? IMDb or Google. I think it was red notice, uh, was the rock Christmas movie from a couple of years ago. I can't remember if Kiernan Shipka played the bad girl or the bad guy in that, or if it was, um, the other girl who's super popular right now that I can't remember. No red notice was. So wait, what red notice is the rock and, and Ryan Reynolds. Uh, I thought that was The Rock and Chris Evans. No, that's... Okay, yeah.

33:37 I think you're right. I think I'm confusing two Christmas movies. Hang on, let me. Yeah, you are. But... Similar titles. Okay, yeah. So Red Notice was. uh, Ryan Reynolds and the rock, not Christmas, but that was the one where they had like the red notices going about them. And that also had what's her name from as wonder woman. But then it was the red Santa Claus, whatever it was with the rock. Red one, red one. Okay. Does it say, uh, the girl's name in that, who the bad guy was in that one?

34:18 Uh, Karen Shipka. Uh, it's her. Yep. Got it. Okay, cool. Well, that was a lot of work. Just to placate my brain. Thank you, Trey. I appreciate you very, very much. You're a good friend. So in addition to the two things I already told you that she's been in, she was also in that, that I just needed. That was an itch I needed scratched. Thank you, buddy. Other birthdays today. Let's see here. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Remember this name? Teddy Bridgewater is 34 today. I think he's still playing. Is he? He barely played after that knee injury. NFL quarterback and former Minnesota Vikings first-round draft pick blew out his knee in horrific fashion.

35:05 And then I think Minnesota or was it Baltimore? Or even the Raiders. Some team picked him back up after he got a really good... He stayed on the team with the Vikings for a while, and they took good care of him. They kept him on payroll, on medical, and everything, and then he eventually gets cut or medically cut, whatever, and then I think another team picked him up for a little while. So it says he retired in 23, was coaching at a high school, and then got picked back up, and he's currently on the roster of the Buccaneers. Really? Good for him. Oh, it is the Buccaneers. They're pretty desperate right now.

35:52 Yeah, especially when... What's his name? Went down. I think when they beat the Cowboys, he was the backup for whoever No Name played when Mayfield was out. Gotcha. Other birthdays today. Taron Edgerton is 37. I hate this kid. I hate him because... He's really, really talented, and I'm super envious of him. So he's an actor, a model. This is one of those guys that has absolutely hit the genetic lottery. He is the star of the Kingsman movies.

36:33 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he's a total prick. It's bad enough that he's just stupid good-looking, but this kid can sing, Trey. Did you know he could sing? Oh, my God. It's just not. There are some people that you just... hate to love. And this is one of them for me. Cause like he really is. He's, he's got, he's hit everything. In the genetic lottery and he's, and by all accounts, I think he's also like a pretty good dude, which you better be. Cause I, cause I can't handle it. If you have all the package and you're an a-hole, like it's like, come on, man, you got all these other great things.

37:15 Just be cool. Be cool too. Don't be a prick. But I remember when, uh, we saw Sing 2, and I think he was in both movies. And I was like, oh, it's that guy singing that stuff? I was like, damn, I hate him. Josh Peck turns 40. He is Josh Nichols on Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh, and former The Amanda Show cast member. And I think, was he the one that was... Was he the object of the obsession in the movie Swim Fan? You have listed two shows in a movie that I don't even know they exist.

37:57 There's a movie called Swim Fan where a guy's a swimmer and he's got a girl stalker. I mean, if you really want to know, there are five years between us. One thing that probably really stands out is Nickelodeon. Because I was already an adult, basically, when Nickelodeon came out. No, I lived on Nickelodeon, absolutely. I got it wrong, actually. In Swimfan, so the Josh Peck is not, so the guy who I think is Josh Peck is Josh Peck, but I got him confused with Jesse Bradford, who was in Swimfan. And that was the one where his stalker is Erica Christensen from 2002.

38:40 And then I have also, I think I figured out, something that's a real dividing line between Gen X and millennials Dawson's Creek. That is a big one. Absolutely. It is because, because, uh, now this is weird though, because this is where the line gets drawn, especially between Gen X and the Zennial, not just the millennial. Cause like they say the Zennial is the overlap from like, I don't know, 78 to 83 or something. Gen X technically ends in 1980. I was born in 79, so technically I'm Gen X. But then there's that little subset called Xenial where you have traits of both, I guess.

39:29 But there's... that little limbo area. And you are right. That is a huge cutoff point, Dawson. Because, so, randomly, a friend of mine was like, hey, you want to go see Paula Cole? Hmm. And I'm like, I'm like, where have all the Cowboys gone? Paula Cole. Right. Yeah. And he's like, well, yeah, he goes, but, uh, or the theme to Dawson's Creek. And I was like, I don't want to wait. Yeah. Nate's 13 years younger than me. I'm like, there is such there, you know, same person known for, I know her for something completely different. Yeah. And, uh, Good show, though.

40:23 I mean, incredibly talented. Weird. But, man, she is... I'm always amazed by people that are that musically talented, because she can play multiple instruments and plays the piano, but an incredible vocal range. You are right, though, because if, as Gen X, I'm trying to think what the comparison show would be. So, millennial, zennial... had Dawson's Creek, Gen X had, I'm trying to think what, um, we didn't really have, I don't think we really teenage drama.

41:04 I really can't think of, I think. We had moved. I mean, I think ours is pretty in pink breakfast club. I think it's more movie based. Uh, you're right. I mean, not, I, I, I, and I, I never watched Dawson's Creek, but I, or I take that back. 90210 would probably be. Yeah, I think you're right. That's probably the closest the, uh, cause I was. More 90210 than I was Dawson's Creek. Cause when Dawson's Creek was huge, I was a senior in high school. So now granted, so are all the characters I think in the movie. So I should have been, I was just like, it was a little too melodramatic even for me.

41:45 And as a high school senior, that's, but like the middle school kids. Yeah, I could see that. Hmm. Don't get me wrong. I know all those characters. And I know all the actors when I see them. I just didn't watch the show. Okay, other birthdays today. Miranda Lambert turns 43. Recently announced as the halftime performer of the Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game, kicking off the Salvation Army kettle season. Brittany Murphy would have been 49. Still a shot. She's been dead since 2009. She was in Clueless, 8 Mile, Just Married, Girl Interrupted, and The Voice of Luann on King of the Hill.

42:30 Incredibly talented. And if I remember correctly, kind of shady circumstances on her death? I think it was an overdose, but I don't remember if it was any questions. I know there's been a couple of documentaries on it. Yeah, tragic. Warren G is 56. Wow. Yeah. Regulators. Tracy Morgan is 58 from Saturday night live and 30 rock fame. He has a show out now that I've never seen, but I mean, I guess it's good enough. I got a second season.

43:13 Um, I'm looking ahead to see if there's anything else on here that needs to be said. Uh, God, there's today, there's some big birthdays. I can't just skip. Uh, Former Cowboys head coach, Mike McCarthy is 63. One of my favorite guys, Michael Jai White is 59. If you have never seen the movie Black Dynamite, then you have not lived. Do yourself a favor, watch Black Dynamite tonight, and you can understand why we mentioned Michael Jai White is 59 today. That is such a phenomenal movie. Oh, He wrote it on a plane.

43:56 Okay, I know. Now I know who this is. Okay. Yeah, that seems right up your alley. It is. Black Dynamite. Have you seen it? No. Buddy, come on. You've got to see it. Trey, you've got to watch Black Dynamite. No, I don't. Yeah, you do. Buddy is so good. I know. Buddy is so good. It's really, really good. If I find, at some point in the next however long I have left, If I find myself just completely absent of anything to watch, then I'll tune that in. Coincidentally, Tommy Davidson is 63 today, and I'm pretty sure he's in it. But that was a fun birthday day on set.

44:40 Underrated cast member of In Living Color. That show does not get enough credit for as groundbreaking as it was. I need, is that on streaming anywhere? I want to go, I want to rewatch in living color. I, some of the, I mean, there's one sketch that's kind of, it's, it's like how PCU was a spoof at the time and has now turned into reality. There's a couple of, of Jim Carrey skits that are like, Oh man, that, that turned out real. Uh, What was the one where he plays the transgender weightlifter?

45:24 Yeah, I mean. He's like Olga something. Or Damon Wayans as Homie the Clown. There's one where Jim Carrey's like a vegan protester. A vegan environmental protester. And the police try to move him. I mean, it's priceless. So In Living Color is available to stream on the Black-owned streaming service, The Brick TV. Never heard of it. Well, consider me bricked up. I want to watch it. I love that show, man. Well, but another underappreciated movie with Tommy Davidson and Jamie Foxx.

46:06 Booty call. Vivica Foxx. I mean, great cast. But yeah. That is also a good, that's a good callback to, you know, that'd be a hell of a double feature booty call. And black dynamite. I would, I would do the double feature. You should, you should absolutely do the double feature. And I'm pretty sure after you watch both those movies in the same night, you'll get your NAACP membership application in the mail. They're handing those things out like art now. It's ironic, but they're trying to diversify.

46:48 It's like this white guy in Texas watched both movies in the same night. Send him a card. That's good enough. This last segment of The Treehouse is brought to you by us.

47:53 Probably. Yeah. Or they would think it was so funny. Yeah. No. That reminds me, uh, if, if you're okay with it, I forgot to timestamp that to turn that into a promo for social media. So if you remember when that was, please let me know. I can do that. I, it is, uh, I want to mention two more of these birthdays cause they're just fun ones to mention. And then we'll, we'll tell you about a horrific Florida man story. Uh, Along the lines of Tommy Davidson turning 63, Sinbad is 70 today.

48:35 Is he still alive? I believe so. Okay. Stand-up comedian, star of A Different World, house guest, jingle all the way. Man, he just cannot escape that one. Also, also, in one of the underappreciated great football movies, He was in Necessary Roughness along with Scott Bakula. That's right. He was the one that went from teacher. He had one year left of eligibility to play. So he went from being a professor in the classroom to being a student athlete. Oh, God, what a great movie. Along with Kathy Ireland. And finally, Roland Emmerich is 71. The reason why I bring this up is because this guy loves disaster movies, and I love disaster movies. He has directed two of the best disaster movies. Sorry, three of the best disaster movies. He directed Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, And 2012. I mean, honestly, just Independence Day is strong enough, in my opinion. He also directed Stargate.

49:49 The original. Yeah, that's a solid. That's a very solid resume. Yeah. And look, honestly, every single one of those movies is one that if I was just skimming TV, I'll stop down and watch it. So good. All right. Well, that's birthdays for today. Okay, Trey, what is worse than one Florida man? Two? That is correct. The only thing worse than one Florida man is two Florida men. Case in point. Where did I put it? Here we have two men are accused of stealing light poles during St. Lucie County flooding emergencies.

50:38 What a pair of a-holes. Stealing light poles? Yeah. Two South Florida men were arrested on Friday after deputies say they stole 34 aluminum light poles from a Fort Pierce property while St. Lucie County was under a state of emergency due to flooding. Deputies and the South Florida criminal apprehension team investigated suspicious activity. With the help from the police department, investigators used a drone to confirm two people were removing property and loading it into a truck. They tracked the truck as it left the area. Suspects identified as Pablo Rojas Castro of Pembroke Pines and Alberto Guia Hernandez of Miami were taken into custody without incident.

51:26 They said they had stolen 34 aluminum light poles valued at $ 6, 800. They were booked into county jail. Like they're pulling them out of the ground. And I mean, that seems like a lot of work for six grand. I agree. It doesn't seem like it would really pay off. Also, how do you even get that in the pawn shop? How do you get them in the back of a truck? I mean, I feel like this is a Smokey and the Bandit type caper where you need, you know, an 18 wheeler and someone running point.

52:06 Yeah, you really do need a convoy. It's like these two idiots. The names are Castro Hernandez. The first names were Pablo and Alberto. So at one point, they're both hanging out. And I'm just going to go. I'm just going to say Alberto goes, hey, Pablo, you want to go steal some light poles? And Pablo goes, see, Alberto. And then off they went. Like, did they not know that there's not a whole lot of value in these things? Were they just being pricks? Because if you run off with a bunch of light poles, then people can't see where they're going in the floodwaters.

52:48 Is there copper wire hidden inside these things that we're unaware of? Or maybe the aluminum. I mean, I feel like before they asked each other if they want to go do this, I feel like before that they had heard the term last call time to go. Now, now the logic is setting in. If they take all the lights away, they can't turn them on to make it last call. There you go. Florida man logic.

53:31 Thanks for hanging out with us today inside the tree house. It's clearly been a doozy. If you love what you heard here today, share it with a friend, and together we can grow the Treehouse Show. And we will see you next time right here inside the Treehouse.
