00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.160
It is time believe your worries outside and laugh with
2
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:33.039
us inside the treehouse. I am Daniel Mallley. That is
3
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.880
Trade Trendholm and he is Raj Sharma. On Thursday, March
4
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.679
twenty seventh, two thousand and one. Five Happy Thursday, gentlemen,
5
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:48.960
day before Fridday. Happy Thursday. We don't typically go backwards
6
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.200
on this show, but when we do, it just did
7
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.520
pretty good. I'm gonna go all the way back in time.
8
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.679
So yes, today, when we were talking about the robot
9
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.640
that knows kung Fu's huge advancement in robotics and artificial
10
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.079
intelligence out of a company in China showing off the
11
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.920
capabilities of its new robot, not only can it dance,
12
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.879
but it also knows seamless kung fu. And while that's
13
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.159
cool and all, if you're okay with getting your ass
14
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.760
kicked by a robot and then having him dance on
15
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.959
your grave afterwards, perfectly, I was hit with a different
16
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:37.840
story after we did the show, and that was the
17
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:43.560
story a paralyzed man who was able to walk again
18
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.640
after the world's first artificial intelligence brain spine interface surgery
19
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:56.599
in China. Here's where these two stories intersect. Besides my
20
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:01.959
late night bedroom Doomscrolling. Yesterday we talked about the brand
21
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.879
new Kung Fu robot. Later that night I saw about
22
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.639
a paralyzed man walking again thanks to the advancements in
23
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.840
artificial intelligence and robotics. The problem is the sequence of
24
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.280
the stories. The story about the man learning how to
25
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.080
walk again thanks to robotics and AI is over a
26
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:28.000
year old, from twenty twenty three. The Kung Fu robot
27
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.800
is just from last week. So that means instead of
28
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.319
teaching how instead of teaching a paralyzed man flawless kung
29
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.439
Fu and fox trot, they gave it to a robot.
30
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.479
Skipped right over the poor Chinese man who'd been paralyzed
31
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.280
for years, had been an invalid, and as soon as
32
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.919
they showed him he could walk with assistance, they said,
33
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:56.479
now we're going to take this power and we're going
34
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.439
to give it to a to a robot who will
35
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.879
then do it all better than you. I think what
36
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:08.479
I'm getting at is our priorities are severely screwed.
37
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.879
I mean, Dan, the paralyzed man, even with you know,
38
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.680
working legs, he can only work like sixteen hours a day.
39
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.960
Those robots that Team Factory's got to run twenty four
40
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:24.639
to seven.
41
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.199
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is capitalism in a nutshell,
42
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:36.000
that's communism that too. Basically, that's the global economy saying
43
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.240
as a person, you're not so valuable. It's the amount
44
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.000
of work output we can get out of you. And
45
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:44.360
that's why a lot of us are going to be
46
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.520
replaced by robots. But seriously, I'm okay with you know,
47
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.919
having humanoid, artificial intelligence powered robots doing things, especially if
48
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.120
it's menial tasks that none of us want to do,
49
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.479
so that the rest of us can then advance in
50
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:07.240
other areas. But we have the technology. If I could
51
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:12.879
be so bold and sound like a seventies eighties television show,
52
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:19.120
we've got the technology to make him bigger, stronger, faster.
53
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.639
Let's give it to the dude and not to the robot.
54
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.040
Scientifically, the problem is like, if he's been paralyzed for years,
55
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.560
his muscle in his legs had to have atrophied, so
56
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.480
there's no way he's going to do kung fu for
57
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:40.279
the next.
58
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.920
Give him the robot legs, so it takes.
59
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.399
Away his legs.
60
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.439
Yeah, if his or no good, just give him some
61
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:53.240
robot legs.
62
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.000
They but they'll get better over time if he's walking again.
63
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:04.000
They have exoskeletons that they have been using for paralyzed people.
64
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:04.720
It's just.
65
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.839
The technology isn't one hundred percent yet. But but but
66
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:09.879
it's it's a coming.
67
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:12.639
Yeah, and I shouldn't laugh at that, because it is.
68
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.959
It's a terrible tragedy, but it's kind of like when
69
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.680
the exoskeleton starts short circuiting a little bit. It's really terrible,
70
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.360
but it's also kind of funny to imagine. I don't
71
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.920
I can't feel my legs. I'm sorry, I'm doing it.
72
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.360
That's not me, I swear to God, it's it's I'm
73
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:37.360
so sorry. I have old legs back. It's safer.
74
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.399
Then we had to transplant the legs back.
75
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.839
Switching back, switching back. Uh no, it really did it.
76
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.279
It just it just hit me like an unfortunate ton
77
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:49.920
of bricks. It's like, Okay, this is really cool. We
78
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.040
saw this. You know, We've got we've got you know,
79
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.000
robot dogs that can spit fire and electrocute home invaders.
80
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.800
We've got robe that know kung fu. And the guy
81
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.839
that they helped walk again who's been paralyzed for years,
82
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.439
is over a year and a half ago. I'm just saying,
83
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.000
maybe he wants to spit fire and do some you
84
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.439
know kung fu on people.
85
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.319
Are you trying to make your own robocomp? Is this
86
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.199
what's happening?
87
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.519
I realized that's what it sounds like, and the more
88
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.959
I say it out loud, it really does sound like
89
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:33.439
that's where I'm headed. But okay, yeah, Look, if the
90
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:38.000
technology is there and we're not erasing the man's soul
91
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.079
or his memories and trying to turn him into an actual,
92
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:47.079
you know, android for the police state, I'm all for.
93
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.279
Look if I'm still me, but and I had a
94
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.519
tragic accident. If I have a tragic accident and you
95
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.680
can still keep me me, but then body parts that
96
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:02.000
got destroyed are robotic in some way, then all right cool.
97
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.720
I'm just saying, if there's no other option, then you know,
98
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.959
let's let's explore the robotic options.
99
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.120
Okay, uh, you said it out loud, and it's on
100
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.120
the show now. So if something happens to you, we're
101
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:21.600
gonna turn you into a robot.
102
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.680
I still have to be me. It's not some AI
103
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.600
version of me. It's still got to be me.
104
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:30.839
Just know we'll have an override.
105
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:38.519
I have thought poorly.
106
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.720
You're listening to the tree House. Visit us online a
107

111
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.000
Daniel Cook into the Treehouse now. Now we talk a
112
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.680
lot about the roofing side of your business. That's probably
113
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.439
the bulk of it, but you guys also do a
114
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.920
lot of interior work. You do a lot of remodeling,
115
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.560
and you don't just do it for your clients, you
116
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.399
do it for yourself as well. Because you were just
117
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.480
telling me that you and Carrie got you a new
118
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:21.759
badass kitchen, right.
119
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.439
Dan, it's been pretty crazy.
120
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.319
We're doing a lot of work both in our house
121
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.639
and of course for our clients, and so juggling all
122
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.240
of those projects has been stressful. So we started with
123
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.759
a full master bathroom remodel. I went ahead and did
124
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.360
a custom walk in shower that's nine feet long and
125
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:45.960
four feet wide. Holy all marble tile and tile everywhere
126
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:49.480
and it looks really great. And cabinets, and then we
127
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.919
decided to come out and do all new flooring all
128
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.799
the way through the whole downstairs and then upstairs replace
129
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.919
all the carpet. We did a whole bunch of all
130
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.840
new baseboard upgrades and trim, and then I said, you
131
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.639
know what, we're already got all this done.
132
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:03.840
I guess let's do the kitchen too. So we ripped
133
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.600
out the entire kitchen down to the studs and redid
134
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.399
new cabinets and new countertops, put new courts, farm sink in,
135
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.600
new undercounting lighting, new lighting, and the halos and the top. So, yeah,
136
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.240
it's been a pretty aggressive freemodel here at the.
137
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.080
Cook Household, and they can do the same for you.
138
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:22.600
So that goes to show you sort of like the
139
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.759
old Men's Warehouse spokesperson where he would say he's not
140
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.200
only the president, but he's also a client. That's Daniel.
141
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.000
He's going to take that same level of expertise and
142
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.679
quality craftsmanship that he puts into his home and he's
143
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.360
going to put it into yours. Eight three to three.

Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Trey, RAJM.
154
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:21.440
Not sure if you guys have noticed, but there have
155
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.399
been a lot of problems on planes recently.
156
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.440
Yes, staying in one piece.
157
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.799
Yeah, yeah, and not just that, There's been other issues
158
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.200
as well. There have been way too many problems on
159
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.360
planes and they keep stacking up like a Kardashian's first
160
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:43.240
trip to a plastic surgeon. Three that have really jumped
161
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.799
out at me. One an Air France plane was forced
162
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.519
to return home two hours into its journey after a
163
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:56.639
passenger lost their phone midflight. Okay, that's apparently a big
164
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.480
problem because if they can't find their phone, the phones
165
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.600
with the lithium batteries have a tendency to go boom,
166
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.559
and they want to find that plane. They want to
167
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.240
find that phone on the plane before it goes boom,
168
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:10.559
so they had to turn around and go back so
169
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:15.840
they could find the damn phone. Number two, a United
170
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.480
Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai had to turn
171
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.559
around last weekend because one of the pilots had taken
172
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:31.039
off without his passport. That's number two, number three of
173
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:36.080
the plane problems. According to a new federal lawsuit, a
174
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.840
United Airlines pilot broke the lock to a bathroom door
175
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.159
and forcibly removed a man for spending too much time
176
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.200
in the bathroom. According to the lawsuit, the man says
177
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.360
not only was he humiliated because the pilot dragged him
178
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.919
out of the bathroom with his pants around his ankles,
179
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.639
he was in there for so long, he claims, because
180
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:01.679
of constipation, and then because he's an Orthodox Jew, he
181
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.200
claims that the pilot hurled anti Semitic rhetoric and comments
182
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:11.240
and slurs at him while dragging him out of the bathroom. So, yeah,
183
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.240
I'm a little wary about flying right now. And that
184
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.919
didn't even bring up the planes that are landing upside
185
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.799
down or just flat out falling out of the sky.
186
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.440
Yeah, or like the sixteen hundred flights that had to
187
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.639
be diverted because he throw lost power.
188
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:32.159
Because even the airports are catching fire. You know what,
189
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:33.960
you know what this is? You know what this is
190
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.559
really uh shining an important light on the fact that
191
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.679
if you can maybe just drive, just drive wherever it
192
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:41.440
is you want to go.
193
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:48.440
Yeah, that's a that's that's a long way it is.
194
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.759
But you know what with and I'm being serious here,
195
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:59.080
if I was traveling somewhere and I guess let me,
196
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.399
let me I'm trying to like put this into perspective here.
197
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.879
If I was going to travel somewhere, I would only
198
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:08.000
consider traveling places that I could that I'd have options
199
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:12.440
in order to get there, kind of like the movie Planes, Trains, automobiles,
200
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:16.200
there's my top three and if I really need to walk,
201
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:19.519
but that'll take forever. But I really would consider all
202
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:20.559
modes of transportation.
203
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:28.559
I mean, air travel is still the safest. Means, yes,
204
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.600
I mean it's supposed to be. Even everything you listed,
205
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.120
no one died.
206
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.080
That's true. That is very very true. Nobody died there.
207
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.039
There have been some where that has happened, but the
208
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.840
ones that I that we focused on here, yeah, you know,
209
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.440
no one died because the pilot forgot his passport. No
210
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:51.639
one died because a passenger lost their phone mid flight.
211
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.159
Those two planeses had to turn around. No one died
212
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.440
because the poor Jewish man was constipated and it was
213
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.759
yanked out of the bathroom by the pilot. You're right,
214
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.399
nobody died an event. Actually, all those people got to
215
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:06.720
where they wanted to be, just maybe a little delayed. Serious.
216
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.240
You know what if I if I if I'm driving
217
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.360
somewhere and I lose my phone, that's okay. It's probably
218
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:12.960
in a car somewhere. I don't need to turn around.
219
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.919
Same thing if I'm on a train, which, by the way,
220
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.320
I feel like a broken record here. I've traveled enough
221
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:23.840
by train now, which is to say twice. Traveling by
222
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:25.039
train is really nice.
223
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.840
Mm hmm, very scenic. Yeah.
224
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:30.720
Growing up, I was afraid of it because they kept
225
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.720
flying off the tracks. But now they seem pretty good because.
226
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.639
Andre really going out of business.
227
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:42.159
So I'm gonna say this, Some of them still come
228
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.720
off the tracks. It happens. They just don't report it
229
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:46.720
on the news anymore.
230
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:55.000
I go whatever, and and and if you were going
231
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.360
on a road trip, let's say you were going on
232
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.320
a road trip, you were you had been in the
233
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.600
car an hour and you thought you had lost your phone.
234
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.919
And let's say this is like seven day road trip.
235
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.759
You're telling me you wouldn't turn around and go back.
236
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.320
First of all, if I'm on a road trip and
237
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.480
it took me an hour to notice I've lost my phone,
238
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.240
that's not me. Because if I'm on a road trip,
239
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.360
I'm playing something through my phone, whether it's music or
240
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.759
the Treehouse Show, I'm gonna know in way less time
241
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.320
than an hour if I've misplaced my phone.
242
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.480
You'll find out an hour that you don't have friends
243
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:33.120
that are checking on you.
