Would you ever ride a roller coaster again after hearing about the tragedy at Six Flags Over Georgia? Dan and Trey aren't taking any chances!

Today's Treehouse Show starts with the horrifying Goliath roller coaster incident and why we're perfectly happy keeping our feet on the ground.

Then it's time for another Reddit AITA relationship debate. A woman inherited a house and charges her husband rent to live there. Is that completely reasonable or absolutely ridiculous? Dan and Trey are on opposite sides of this one, and we're pretty sure you will be too.

In Celebrity Birthdays, we celebrate Formula 1 driver Gabriel Bortoleto and discuss the perks of being an F1 star. Then we revisit TV heartthrob Greg Evigan and wonder why he never became a gay icon after his two hit shows.

Finally, things have gotten completely out of hand in Nepal, where gangs of macaque monkeys are invading homes, attacking residents, and terrorizing a town. Apparently, the monkeys have decided they're in charge now.

From serious headlines to ridiculous relationship arguments and bizarre animal news, it's another unpredictable episode of The Treehouse Show with Dan and Trey.

Would you charge your spouse rent? And are you still willing to ride roller coasters?

a row, Trey hit the wrong button. All good, man.

8
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:27.109
All good.

9
00:00:28.070 --> 00:00:28.140
Uh.

10
00:00:29.949 --> 00:00:35.899
Look, we are typically stay away from horrific, tragic, sad news,

11
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.520
but sometimes it just cannot be ignored. What the hell

12
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.420
happened at Six Flags over Georgia?

13
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:53.780
Man, that. Like we have discussed, obviously, for a while now,

14
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:55.500
your feelings about roller coasters.

15
00:00:56.780 --> 00:00:59.200
They have changed through the years. I used to be

16
00:00:59.229 --> 00:01:02.630
a roller coaster addict as a kid. I couldn't wait

17
00:01:02.729 --> 00:01:04.950
to be this tall to ride.

18
00:01:05.189 --> 00:01:05.430
Right.

19
00:01:05.870 --> 00:01:07.950
And as soon as I was, I rode and I

20
00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:10.530
rode like the wind and all the rides loved them.

21
00:01:11.370 --> 00:01:13.409
And then at a certain point, I hit a certain

22
00:01:13.629 --> 00:01:16.030
age and I couldn't do it anymore. I hit my

23
00:01:16.109 --> 00:01:19.049
last I hit my last roller coaster and I couldn't

24
00:01:19.069 --> 00:01:22.969
keep my eyes open. I felt immense dread the entire time.

25
00:01:23.049 --> 00:01:24.629
And I said, I'll never do that again.

26
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.079
Do you think it's when you really come to understand

27
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.319
gravity is when you question roller coasters?

28
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:37.109
Well, I mean, I always understood gravity, but I think

29
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:43.709
it's having that severe respect for not testing its powers.

30
00:01:45.409 --> 00:01:46.450
Gravity is undefeated.

31
00:01:46.469 --> 00:01:50.310
I mean, that's really, really is like Newton was really

32
00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:51.340
onto something there.

33
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.200
Oh man. Yeah.

34
00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:57.560
It's, I don't know if it's like, recognizing your own

35
00:01:57.670 --> 00:02:01.000
mortality and not wanting to do anything to jeopardize it.

36
00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:03.329
I don't know. And roller coaster fit the bill.

37
00:02:03.390 --> 00:02:08.949
But something so horrific happened on the Goliath roller coaster

38
00:02:09.069 --> 00:02:13.250
at Six Flags, Georgia, that they shut down all of

39
00:02:13.330 --> 00:02:15.610
those versions of the ride around the country.

40
00:02:16.229 --> 00:02:17.389
Have you read the story?

41
00:02:18.849 --> 00:02:22.810
I have, and I can't quite piece together what actually happened.

42
00:02:24.710 --> 00:02:29.990
Let me just say this. Very seldom does something happen

43
00:02:30.009 --> 00:02:33.129
where it really makes me rethink my position on everything

44
00:02:33.189 --> 00:02:36.120
across the board when it comes to something. This story

45
00:02:36.189 --> 00:02:38.819
has really made me rethink whether I will ever get

46
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:45.259
on a roller coaster again. It's one thing, like when

47
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.639
you read this, it's one thing when you hear someone

48
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.719
falling out, something like seats come loose. Like this one,

49
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:56.699
the guy fell out, but then he hit the cars

50
00:02:56.740 --> 00:02:59.610
and the people behind him. They all ended up with

51
00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:03.139
his blood and stuff all over them.

52
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.840
Yeah, see, I guess because I don't know what the

53
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.759
ride looks like. I don't know how you fall out. Like,

54
00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:12.849
I'll read the story, see if you can piece it together.

55
00:03:14.030 --> 00:03:18.250
Six Flags said it has temporarily closed nine rides across

56
00:03:18.289 --> 00:03:20.949
the country after a man died and several others were

57
00:03:21.050 --> 00:03:24.110
injured on Monday. in a roller coaster incident at an

58
00:03:24.150 --> 00:03:26.449
amusement park in Georgia. Police did not say how the

59
00:03:26.490 --> 00:03:29.090
man died or how many people were injured, but witnesses

60
00:03:29.129 --> 00:03:32.210
say a man fell from the Goliath roller coaster at

61
00:03:32.289 --> 00:03:36.449
Six Flags over Georgia, which is 10 miles west of

62
00:03:36.490 --> 00:03:42.500
downtown Atlanta. According to one witness, he fell and hit

63
00:03:42.530 --> 00:03:46.580
the car three different times before falling onto the roof

64
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.719
of a haunted house attraction below.

65
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.400
God, that's even more disturbing.

66
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.979
The 210-second ride reaches a top speed of 70 miles

67
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.199
per hour and an elevation of 200 feet. The park,

68
00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:01.300
one of the largest in Georgia and a popular attraction

69
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.300
for families and kids, operates on weekends in October, but

70
00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:06.479
was open on Monday for the Columbus Day holiday, a

71
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.139
time when many schools in the area celebrate their fall break.

72
00:04:10.939 --> 00:04:14.620
Nine other coasters across Six Flags have been temporarily closed

73
00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:17.600
out of an abundance of caution. So, witness says the

74
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.649
man fell and hit three different... Or the man... fell

75
00:04:21.810 --> 00:04:25.389
and hit the car three different times. And that's, I guess,

76
00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:27.310
I don't understand how the ride works, how you fall

77
00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:29.569
out of a roller coaster and hit the cars behind

78
00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:30.310
you kind of a thing.

79
00:04:30.649 --> 00:04:32.040
I guess, I don't know if it's in a loop

80
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.480
section that he fell and then hit the people below him.

81
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:36.120
I don't know.

82
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.480
I mean, it's also kind of a morbid curiosity to think, okay,

83
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.720
a guy fell out of his roller coaster seat and

84
00:04:43.899 --> 00:04:47.060
still managed to get hit by the car like three times.

85
00:04:47.930 --> 00:04:52.959
I just don't know how physically that happens. but I

86
00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:56.519
also don't want to completely know either because it sounds

87
00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:03.350
truly gruesome and the stuff that nightmares are made of.

88
00:05:05.889 --> 00:05:09.449
Detectives from the Cobb County Police's Major Crimes Unit are

89
00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:15.050
investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. Six Flags Over Georgia

90
00:05:15.089 --> 00:05:17.370
said in the statement, we're deeply saddened by the guest

91
00:05:17.490 --> 00:05:20.420
incident at our park. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are

92
00:05:20.459 --> 00:05:22.720
with the guests, family, friends, and loved ones. The incident

93
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.519
comes nearly two weeks after Six Flags Magic Mountain in

94
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.939
California announced it would permanently close its world-famous ride X2

95
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.990
following an investigation that documented reports of serious injuries and

96
00:05:34.050 --> 00:05:39.329
deaths associated with that ride. Police said this incident occurred

97
00:05:39.389 --> 00:05:41.850
shortly before 4 p.m. Officers assigned to the park as

98
00:05:41.870 --> 00:05:46.250
well as uniformed patrol officers responded to the scene. A

99
00:05:46.329 --> 00:05:49.399
couple who were also on the ride said they saw

100
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.500
the man strike the coaster three times, saying we were

101
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.819
having a great time and just screaming then, oh my God,

102
00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:58.829
what is happening? She said workers checked their safety harnesses

103
00:05:58.910 --> 00:06:01.870
before the ride. Another witness who was also on the

104
00:06:01.930 --> 00:06:05.730
ride said the man fell onto a girl two rows

105
00:06:05.910 --> 00:06:09.089
ahead of her. She said the man appeared to be

106
00:06:09.269 --> 00:06:11.259
on the ride with his son while his wife and

107
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.120
daughter were watching from the ground. Oh God, this just

108
00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:15.019
gets worse and worse.

109
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:15.660
Yeah.

110
00:06:17.579 --> 00:06:17.639
It.

111
00:06:19.189 --> 00:06:21.930
I'm guessing maybe, from what I read about the description,

112
00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:25.430
it makes some sharp bank turns, and maybe he came

113
00:06:25.470 --> 00:06:28.110
loose there. Because it sounds like he came loose and

114
00:06:28.129 --> 00:06:33.709
then just fell back against the cars behind them. I mean,

115
00:06:33.810 --> 00:06:42.910
it is truly just an awful story. The first thing

116
00:06:42.930 --> 00:06:45.170
that came to mind when I first read the story

117
00:06:45.470 --> 00:06:49.240
was that like that bungee jumping story out of Brazil

118
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.740
where they didn't attach the bungee jump. I mean, it's like,

119
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.620
did they really, did they check this guy that he

120
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.480
was really secured in? Cause you know, it's either that

121
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.550
or there was just a complete failure of all the

122
00:07:01.610 --> 00:07:03.509
safety equipment. Yeah.

123
00:07:05.949 --> 00:07:08.509
There was, I remember one time riding a coaster. This

124
00:07:08.569 --> 00:07:11.209
is many years ago before I had my moment of

125
00:07:11.350 --> 00:07:13.810
clarity where it's like, I'm not doing these ever again.

126
00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:17.459
There was one time I rode a coaster where, It

127
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.680
felt like the bar that's keeping you in. It felt

128
00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:22.399
a little loose.

129
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.899
I don't know, but to me at the time, it

130
00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:30.819
felt looser than it should. So I had a death

131
00:07:30.860 --> 00:07:35.129
grip on that thing for obvious reasons. To this day,

132
00:07:35.250 --> 00:07:37.569
I still don't know if that was the way it

133
00:07:37.610 --> 00:07:40.050
was supposed to be. But I never got on that

134
00:07:40.110 --> 00:07:42.350
coaster again. I don't even remember exactly where it was.

135
00:07:42.389 --> 00:07:43.730
I think my brain has kind of blocked some of

136
00:07:43.769 --> 00:07:44.089
it out, but.

137
00:07:44.810 --> 00:07:47.029
I remember being genuinely terrified in that time, just like

138
00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:48.850
I'm not letting go of this bar until I am

139
00:07:49.410 --> 00:07:51.110
absolutely done with the ride.

140
00:07:55.610 --> 00:07:58.949
And it always it also it kind of amazes me that.

141
00:08:01.339 --> 00:08:04.740
And I'm sure it did. I don't remember these things happening.

142
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:07.360
In our childhood.

143
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.720
No, there seem to be so many more of them lately.

144
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.680
Well, and yet it's like we, the technology has increased

145
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.540
tenfold and yet we're having, and now obviously the roller

146
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.779
coasters to go faster, they're bigger, faster, stronger of everything.

147
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:29.040
But it is remarkable that these happen more and more.

148
00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:33.399
And when technology and safety has, you know, quadrupled.

149
00:08:34.820 --> 00:08:35.039
Yeah.

150
00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:37.500
The, I was having a conversation with a guy a

151
00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:40.490
couple of days ago and he too has recently had

152
00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:43.740
that moment of clarity about, Where he no longer wants

153
00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:44.899
to ride roller coasters.

154
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.149
As a kid, loved him. He couldn't, just like me,

155
00:08:49.210 --> 00:08:49.950
couldn't wait to ride.

156
00:08:51.529 --> 00:08:53.600
It's almost, it's kind of like being a, like a,

157
00:08:54.029 --> 00:08:56.590
it's kind of like being a professional athlete. You have

158
00:08:56.610 --> 00:08:59.370
your heyday and then eventually you're just too old for

159
00:08:59.429 --> 00:09:01.470
it and you have to retire. To me, that's kind

160
00:09:01.509 --> 00:09:03.549
of how riding the big rides and the scary roller

161
00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:06.029
coasters are now. At a certain point, you reach a

162
00:09:06.070 --> 00:09:08.529
certain age and you say, I'm going to retire from

163
00:09:08.570 --> 00:09:09.029
these now.

164
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.139
I'm not doing this ever again. I'm too old for this. Mm-hmm.

165
00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:14.870
Uh, and it was just interesting to talk to a

166
00:09:14.909 --> 00:09:17.490
guy younger than me who had just recently crossed over

167
00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:17.990
into that.

168
00:09:18.029 --> 00:09:19.809
And he's like, yeah, I just, I can't do it anymore.

169
00:09:20.730 --> 00:09:22.049
And then I told him, it's like, yeah, but you,

170
00:09:22.190 --> 00:09:25.000
it's like, we see and hear about so many more

171
00:09:25.029 --> 00:09:31.000
of these coasters. Like this one is a very tragic outlier.

172
00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:34.399
This does this, someone dying on a roller coaster really

173
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.740
doesn't happen often, but lately you've been hearing more and

174
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.399
more stories about the coasters just getting stuck. And a

175
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.259
lot of times that's a safety precaution, like something's wrong

176
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.710
and then it just stops just out of precaution.

177
00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:50.350
So maybe that's a good thing. But I just like

178
00:09:50.370 --> 00:09:50.909
you're right, Trey.

179
00:09:50.970 --> 00:09:54.110
I don't remember our childhood hearing about this many catastrophes

180
00:09:54.629 --> 00:09:55.309
with coasters.

181
00:09:56.309 --> 00:09:59.789
I just don't know why. I just know I'm not

182
00:09:59.809 --> 00:10:00.350
getting on one.

183
00:10:02.049 --> 00:10:04.370
Especially not the ones that pop up overnight on the

184
00:10:04.409 --> 00:10:09.139
side of the highway.

185
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.519
Like, no, uh-uh. There was not a ride on the

186
00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:16.440
side of 635 yesterday. I'm not getting on that thing

187
00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:19.159
today if you just bolted it in like an hour ago.

188
00:10:19.730 --> 00:10:22.549
They still do that? Those used to pop up. I

189
00:10:24.009 --> 00:10:28.590
always remember them being in Plano for some reason. God,

190
00:10:28.610 --> 00:10:31.830
I remember that one. Happy the Clown.

191
00:10:32.070 --> 00:10:33.629
Oh, no. God, don't get me started.

192
00:10:34.649 --> 00:10:34.850
Yeah.

193
00:10:36.070 --> 00:10:40.820
The roadside pop-up carnivals? Hell no. I am not doing that.

194
00:10:41.009 --> 00:10:43.779
I am not getting on one of those rides that

195
00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:47.860
was just put up the day before, and I don't

196
00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:49.539
even know if it's actually bolted in.

197
00:10:50.690 --> 00:10:52.659
Or how sober the guy was that did it.

198
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:55.879
All right.

199
00:10:56.860 --> 00:11:00.879
Uh, Oh, uh, and while it is rare, there was

200
00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:03.879
the lady that fell out of the Texas giant at

201
00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:07.519
six flags over Texas years ago. And that was another

202
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:08.399
horrific story.

203
00:11:09.179 --> 00:11:12.700
Um, so, and then also at six flags over Texas,

204
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.700
you had the time, it was the whitewater Rapids ride

205
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:23.850
where like it tumped over and somebody drowned. Um, it's

206
00:11:23.889 --> 00:11:26.450
supposed to be a death defying ride, but it's not

207
00:11:26.509 --> 00:11:28.649
supposed to be literally death defying.

208
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:29.220
Yeah.

209
00:11:29.389 --> 00:11:31.019
It's supposed to be like, you know, just kind of

210
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:37.360
fun and exciting. Not final desk, not the opening of

211
00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:44.240
final destination three in real life. Let's change gears to

212
00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:45.559
something a little different.

213
00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:50.600
Um, Should you make your husband pay rent? That seems

214
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.720
like a nice distraction from horrific rollercoaster tragedies.

215
00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:58.299
I don't know how you find these things, Trey.

216
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.759
I scour Reddit. I spend a lot of time on Reddit.

217
00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:09.710
Thumbing through headlines. Subreddits.

218
00:12:10.710 --> 00:12:14.470
Oh, my God. Some of these headlines really are just

219
00:12:14.490 --> 00:12:18.909
true classics. Am I the a-hole for asking my husband

220
00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:23.120
to pay me rent for living in the house I inherited?

221
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.919
These really are fantastic headlines. She says, so I'm assuming

222
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.840
it's a she. So two years ago, my parents passed away,

223
00:12:31.990 --> 00:12:34.409
left me a fully paid off three bedroom house in

224
00:12:34.429 --> 00:12:36.690
a great neighborhood. My husband and I were renting a

225
00:12:36.730 --> 00:12:41.519
small apartment at the time, split 50-50. When we moved

226
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.820
into the inherited house, I told him he should pay

227
00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:48.740
me $ 1, 000 a month in rent, which is actually way

228
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.899
below market value for our area, so I can put

229
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.379
it into an emergency slash maintenance fund for the house.

230
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:58.960
He thinks this is completely unfair.

231
00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:01.620
His argument is that since the mortgage is zero, he

232
00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:04.740
shouldn't have to pay rent to his own spouse. He

233
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:10.659
offered to split utilities and property taxes, but I said no. Maintenance, repairs,

234
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.600
property taxes, and long-term equity are my responsibilities since the

235
00:13:14.659 --> 00:13:17.559
deed is 100% in my name.

236
00:13:19.580 --> 00:13:21.519
There's a little bit more to this still. Should we

237
00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:23.779
go ahead and start dissecting now, Trey, or do you

238
00:13:23.820 --> 00:13:24.440
want me to finish?

239
00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:25.840
Go ahead and finish.

240
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.610
Last week, the water heater burst and cost $ 2, 500 to replace.

241
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.330
I paid for it entirely out of the maintenance fund

242
00:13:35.610 --> 00:13:39.330
saved from his payments. He saw the invoice and snapped,

243
00:13:39.429 --> 00:13:42.769
saying I'm acting like his landlord instead of his partner

244
00:13:43.149 --> 00:13:46.610
and that I'm profiting off of our marriage.

245
00:13:47.350 --> 00:13:50.620
But my view is if we weren't living here, he'd

246
00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:53.259
easily be paying $ 1, 800 plus elsewhere.

247
00:13:53.860 --> 00:13:57.159
So he's still saving money. Now he's giving me the

248
00:13:57.220 --> 00:14:00.440
silent treatment and his family is calling me selfish. So

249
00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:03.000
am I the a-hole?

250
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:03.899
Trey, you're up first.

251
00:14:08.289 --> 00:14:12.129
This is so nuanced. In general, I'm going to say no,

252
00:14:12.730 --> 00:14:13.309
you're not.

253
00:14:14.730 --> 00:14:18.929
Yes, she is. Yes, she is. You're supposed to be

254
00:14:18.970 --> 00:14:21.870
in a marriage as a partnership, not treat them like

255
00:14:21.929 --> 00:14:22.490
a renter.

256
00:14:24.049 --> 00:14:30.740
Okay. In that partnership. So if you called it something else,

257
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.600
you know, if you said equitable, you know, You are

258
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:42.159
living in a much nicer place for less money than

259
00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:53.509
you'd be paying in rent. If you were splitting rent before,

260
00:14:53.590 --> 00:14:57.029
why do you have a problem splitting stuff now?

261
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:00.519
Because.

262
00:15:01.629 --> 00:15:05.440
You're playing the if game and completely changing the scenario.

263
00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:09.019
I can't remember what the actual saying is. If my

264
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.240
cat was my uncle, he'd be your brother. Whatever dumb

265
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.120
saying that is. You're just throwing random scenarios out. The

266
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:19.279
reality is you are in a marriage and she's not

267
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.019
acting like they are in a marriage.

268
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.580
You could just hear it in the wording. She keeps

269
00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:27.559
talking about how he is living here. He is doing this.

270
00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:32.190
There's no we in any of this. Now, I get it.

271
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.110
I understand a little bit of the property law here

272
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.669
because her parents died, left it to her. That is

273
00:15:39.789 --> 00:15:43.649
not community property. That is her property. Yes, I understand that.

274
00:15:43.830 --> 00:15:47.570
Totally get it. But they're in a marriage.

275
00:15:49.250 --> 00:15:53.639
The moment you start treating your spouse like a renter, that's.

276
00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:54.259
Not a marriage.

277
00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:58.779
Now you're in a landlord-renter relationship, not a marriage.

278
00:16:01.529 --> 00:16:06.250
But there's still bills to pay. There's still maintenance, upkeep.

279
00:16:06.350 --> 00:16:09.370
Sure. And we should pay those bills.

280
00:16:15.110 --> 00:16:18.730
Damn, it's really hard to stick to this one. Yeah,

281
00:16:18.850 --> 00:16:20.629
I'm sorry.

282
00:16:20.649 --> 00:16:22.549
It really gave me much of an option to take

283
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:23.149
the other side.

284
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.980
We is benefiting from my loss of my parents. Yes.

285
00:16:31.830 --> 00:16:35.690
Yes, we are. That's just the way life goes.

286
00:16:36.090 --> 00:16:36.529
You know what?

287
00:16:36.590 --> 00:16:39.389
Your parents died, left us a house. We benefit on

288
00:16:39.429 --> 00:16:40.980
that because we are married.

289
00:16:44.179 --> 00:16:50.200
But then, is we going to pay for the water heater? Yes,

290
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.500
we will. Seriously, the way I look at it is this.

291
00:16:55.860 --> 00:17:01.120
She is very much driving a wedge into the marriage

292
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:06.589
by saying, You, hubby, need to pay me $ 1, 000 a

293
00:17:06.769 --> 00:17:11.069
month so I can pay for the maintenance of the house.

294
00:17:12.789 --> 00:17:15.319
What is she putting in that same fund?

295
00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:19.640
The house. Not fair.

296
00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:25.279
She's not doing anything for that. She's demanding $ 1, 000 from

297
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:28.779
him to do this. What is she doing? What is

298
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:30.420
she contributing other than.

299
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:31.119
The house.

300
00:17:31.890 --> 00:17:35.750
You inherited something that's, that's you inheriting something is not

301
00:17:35.789 --> 00:17:38.150
the same as you contributing to something.

302
00:17:40.950 --> 00:17:45.799
Okay. So let me ask you this question. All right.

303
00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:49.839
Let's say she inherited the house and sold it, her money.

304
00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:55.500
And you still were renting. Would you then think you

305
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.180
don't need to pay rent because she got all that

306
00:17:57.220 --> 00:18:03.650
money from the sale of the house? Wait, what? Okay.

307
00:18:04.950 --> 00:18:06.210
So she inherited the house.

308
00:18:07.130 --> 00:18:07.369
Yeah.

309
00:18:07.529 --> 00:18:09.799
Let's say, let's say instead of moving in there, she

310
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.960
sold it. Got it.

311
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:12.339
Okay.

312
00:18:12.859 --> 00:18:16.140
Okay. That all that money goes to her. As you said,

313
00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:17.339
it is not community property.

314
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:18.299
Right.

315
00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:22.400
And they continue renting and they were splitting rent.

316
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.920
At the house or the place they currently lived?

317
00:18:26.619 --> 00:18:28.910
The place they currently, they never bought, they never moved

318
00:18:28.930 --> 00:18:30.799
into the house. So they're She said they were renting

319
00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:33.279
and I think they said they each were paying like $ 1, 800

320
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.039
a month.

321
00:18:33.819 --> 00:18:34.019
Yeah.

322
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:39.450
Okay. So if she sold the house and got all

323
00:18:39.470 --> 00:18:44.769
that money, would the husband then still, would he still

324
00:18:44.789 --> 00:18:47.630
be okay with paying rent? Even though she just had

325
00:18:47.670 --> 00:18:51.920
a windfall of a bunch of cash? Yes.

326
00:18:53.579 --> 00:18:56.619
Because you're both still renting the place. So she's still

327
00:18:56.660 --> 00:18:58.980
going to contribute to the rent the same as you are.

328
00:18:59.099 --> 00:19:01.500
Because like she said in the thing, they're splitting the

329
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.880
rent 50-50. Just because she gets a windfall of money

330
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.059
from having sold the house doesn't mean that she doesn't

331
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.470
have to still pay rent. So they, as a unit,

332
00:19:11.509 --> 00:19:13.849
still have to pay the rent just because she's had

333
00:19:14.049 --> 00:19:14.309
a bump.

334
00:19:14.329 --> 00:19:16.029
You don't think the husband would want her to cover

335
00:19:16.069 --> 00:19:17.690
the rent because she just got all that cash?

336
00:19:20.329 --> 00:19:23.250
Not unless he's a lazy entitled POS. Okay.

337
00:19:23.269 --> 00:19:23.349
Okay.

338
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.059
So because he's moving, he's moving into a nicer place

339
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:34.980
for less money than what they were renting for. Why, why, why, why, where,

340
00:19:35.059 --> 00:19:37.880
where is the problem? I mean, he's benefiting and he's

341
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.029
only paying, he's saving $ 800 a month.

342
00:19:40.789 --> 00:19:41.089
Oh yeah.

343
00:19:41.150 --> 00:19:44.650
No, it's a good gig for him, but it's how

344
00:19:44.710 --> 00:19:50.410
it's being framed Because she is saying, like, you know.

345
00:19:50.450 --> 00:19:52.650
Let's make this easy. Let's make this a Dan and

346
00:19:52.670 --> 00:19:55.849
Trey situation. Let's say we're together. We're in our bromance, right?

347
00:19:56.789 --> 00:20:00.410
And your mom just died. I'm very sorry. And now

348
00:20:00.430 --> 00:20:01.490
we're moving into this house.

349
00:20:02.309 --> 00:20:05.190
And you tell me, all right, Danny boy, you're going

350
00:20:05.210 --> 00:20:07.089
to pay me a thousand dollars in rent. And I'm

351
00:20:07.109 --> 00:20:09.079
going to say, okay, well, how much are you putting in?

352
00:20:09.130 --> 00:20:12.519
Well, nothing. Well, then that ain't fair. And you're going

353
00:20:12.539 --> 00:20:13.779
to sleep on the couch, right?

354
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:16.680
Oh, not that.

355
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:32.259
None of this for you tonight. Well, there's it's, It

356
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:38.630
needs to be a we scenario. Why is she saying

357
00:20:38.730 --> 00:20:40.049
you have to do this now?

358
00:20:40.329 --> 00:20:44.470
Here's the thing. At $ 1, 000 a month, that's not going

359
00:20:44.490 --> 00:20:51.180
to cover all the utilities, property tax, maintenance. There's no way.

360
00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:52.180
No.

361
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:55.700
So she is contributing something.

362
00:21:02.170 --> 00:21:05.369
Where? Well, you're right.

363
00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:07.839
So maybe she is also putting money in this account,

364
00:21:07.859 --> 00:21:10.059
but she doesn't mention that in the story. If she

365
00:21:10.140 --> 00:21:13.859
is doing that, then it's fine. If she says, hey, honey.

366
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.279
We need to put X amount of dollars away per

367
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:20.480
month for the house. Totally cool.

368
00:21:21.309 --> 00:21:23.430
But the way she has it framed in her story

369
00:21:23.690 --> 00:21:26.829
is I told him he has to pay me rent

370
00:21:26.890 --> 00:21:27.990
for blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

371
00:21:28.589 --> 00:21:30.910
But she's not also saying I'm going to assess you

372
00:21:31.210 --> 00:21:34.039
like she. she's saying that's like a general fund. So

373
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.480
we don't know if he's been paying rent long enough

374
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:41.819
to cover even the water heater, but let's say after

375
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.569
the water heater, something happens and they need a new

376
00:21:43.609 --> 00:21:46.390
roof and they call, you know, cook and the cook

377
00:21:46.410 --> 00:21:48.730
comes out and goes, yes. Daniel says, yes, you need

378
00:21:48.750 --> 00:21:50.109
a new roof. Yes.

379
00:21:51.950 --> 00:21:53.990
And don't pull me in the middle of your weird

380
00:21:54.529 --> 00:21:58.829
financial situation. Just, yeah, I'm here to fix the roof,

381
00:21:58.950 --> 00:21:59.890
not your relationship.

382
00:22:00.890 --> 00:22:05.009
So, And that's going to be, let's say you've got

383
00:22:05.049 --> 00:22:08.069
a deductible. That's going to be five, $ 10, 000 out of

384
00:22:08.089 --> 00:22:08.490
your pocket.

385
00:22:09.210 --> 00:22:09.369
Yeah.

386
00:22:09.410 --> 00:22:13.779
Well, now if she goes to him and says, Hey,

387
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:16.660
you need to pay that, then there's a problem. But

388
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:22.440
if she is covering whatever is remaining from her fund

389
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.940
of his thousand dollars a month, then it is a

390
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:25.940
fair and equitable.

391
00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:29.440
And then it's probably even, but that's, but that's a

392
00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:33.950
conditional circumstance. it's if.

393
00:22:35.930 --> 00:22:38.799
The, what I mean is like in order for, in

394
00:22:38.859 --> 00:22:41.839
order for it to be equitable, something has to happen.

395
00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:43.920
So she then has to kick something.

396
00:22:43.660 --> 00:22:48.960
In for it, but something will happen. Yeah.

397
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.099
But until then, he's the only one paying in. And

398
00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:57.079
I mean, unless she is actively also giving and participating

399
00:22:57.299 --> 00:23:02.210
in said emergency fund, then she's... Yes, she is an a-hole.

400
00:23:02.390 --> 00:23:05.950
If she's not doing it herself and just making him

401
00:23:05.990 --> 00:23:06.910
do it, she's a jerk.

402
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:15.759
And this is where there is some nuance to the story. Because... Again,

403
00:23:15.819 --> 00:23:19.259
he is getting... He has upgraded his life for less money.

404
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:21.079
And so has she.

405
00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:29.430
But... Again... If something big happens and then, you know,

406
00:23:29.589 --> 00:23:31.619
she goes, well, not only are you paying rent, but

407
00:23:31.650 --> 00:23:33.779
here's your HOA assessment.

408
00:23:37.420 --> 00:23:38.880
Now you're just a mega a-hole.

409
00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:46.559
Then he can go. Do you feel restless and anxious?

410
00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:49.559
Feel like something's missing in your life? Maybe you just

426
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:39.579
I think Carrie would be more than happy to give

427
00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:42.000
you relationship advice. You know what?

428
00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:44.799
You're right. She would, but just not, not in an

429
00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:50.789
official capacity. Yeah. Daniel will be off on the side going, Carrie, no.

430
00:24:51.829 --> 00:24:54.259
And she'll ignore him, like she does, and be like, no, no,

431
00:24:54.269 --> 00:24:55.599
I'm going to tell them. They need to know this.

432
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:00.539
So, officially, help you with your roof and issues around

433
00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:04.400
the house. Unofficially, Trey's right.

434
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:06.420
I think Carrie Cook would be more than happy to

435
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:08.480
offer up her opinion on the state of your relationship.

436
00:25:10.230 --> 00:25:10.450
All right.

437
00:25:10.930 --> 00:25:16.069
Today is Wednesday, October 14th, 2026.

438
00:25:16.849 --> 00:25:18.089
Let's celebrate today with some birthdays.

439
00:25:25.450 --> 00:25:31.880
Gabriel Bortoletto is 22 today. He is a Brazilian Formula

440
00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:37.400
One driver who won the Formula Two championship in 2024.

441
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.180
Pretty big name in the F1 world, and he's only 22.

442
00:25:40.180 --> 00:25:42.400
These damn kids.

443
00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:47.819
Being a big name in the F1 world isn't, I mean,

444
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:48.819
there's only 22 of them.

445
00:25:50.690 --> 00:25:52.890
And that's what I mean by it's a big name

446
00:25:52.930 --> 00:25:54.910
in the F1 world, because if there's only so many

447
00:25:54.970 --> 00:25:57.019
of you, then you're automatically a big name in it.

448
00:25:57.150 --> 00:26:00.349
You may not necessarily be the most prominent driver, but, man,

449
00:26:00.390 --> 00:26:03.670
being one of only 22 in the world at anything is, whew.

450
00:26:05.069 --> 00:26:09.759
Yeah, the jury's still out on how good he's going

451
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:16.220
to be. But, man, if you can get it, that's

452
00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:17.319
a good gig. Yeah.

453
00:26:18.059 --> 00:26:19.160
Oh, it's the best gig.

454
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:21.140
I mean, really, I can't think of anything else on

455
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:28.819
the planet, sports or really otherwise, that is more elite.

456
00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:30.200
Like, I think we talked about this before.

457
00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:33.240
It's like, I don't know how many exactly, but I mean,

458
00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:35.720
there's like, what, a few thousand Navy SEALs, maybe?

459
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:37.000
Maybe a couple thousand?

460
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.539
There's only 22 F1 drivers. I don't know how many

461
00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:42.750
Delta operators there are, but it's more than 22.

462
00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:48.759
Oh, yeah. you know, quarterbacks in the NFL. There's 32

463
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.480
of them starting anyway.

464
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:58.670
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, and you're talking about

465
00:26:58.710 --> 00:27:04.430
a sport where seats do not even open up that often.

466
00:27:04.730 --> 00:27:09.630
You get one or two, usually new drivers a year.

467
00:27:10.390 --> 00:27:13.950
And a lot of times then they immediately, if they

468
00:27:14.190 --> 00:27:18.990
crash or, literally and figuratively, then they'll get sent back

469
00:27:19.029 --> 00:27:24.099
down to F2 or go to another circuit. And you, yeah, there,

470
00:27:24.140 --> 00:27:27.500
there are still, I mean, Lewis Hamilton's still on top

471
00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:29.599
of his game and he's 41.

472
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:34.119
I think, uh, is there a typical age where the

473
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.369
F1 guys have like, there's a decline. And so you'll

474
00:27:37.390 --> 00:27:39.210
see them start to retire or is it kind of

475
00:27:39.269 --> 00:27:40.049
different for everybody?

476
00:27:40.849 --> 00:27:45.369
Um, Fernando Alonso's in his forties. Uh, Lewis is in

477
00:27:45.390 --> 00:27:49.529
his forties. That is rare. Typically you are by mid thirties. You,

478
00:27:49.690 --> 00:27:50.630
you are, are done.

479
00:27:52.089 --> 00:27:53.819
So that actually kind of falls in line with some

480
00:27:53.859 --> 00:27:56.460
of the other major sports that we follow all the

481
00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:58.420
time in America. Like if you're in your mid thirties,

482
00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:02.339
you're probably on your decline in all the major sports, basketball, football, baseball.

483
00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:05.480
If I was going to compare it to really, if

484
00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:11.640
you think about it, um, would be NFL quarterbacks is,

485
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:17.240
is probably the, the other group where you would say, okay,

486
00:28:17.259 --> 00:28:18.859
that's about as exclusive as F1.

487
00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:21.880
Drivers.

488
00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:24.569
Cause there's just not that many. Yeah.

489
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:27.460
Because like, like you're saying, there's how many F1 drivers,

490
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:32.549
like 22 of them in the NFL, there's 32 starting quarterbacks.

491
00:28:32.829 --> 00:28:35.829
But if we're being honest, there's really only about 15

492
00:28:35.829 --> 00:28:41.339
that are in the conversation as far as being top 10.

493
00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:44.680
And then who do you consider to be the elite

494
00:28:44.900 --> 00:28:48.559
of that elite group? There's what five to seven. I, yeah,

495
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:51.140
I think there's, I think, Oh, I don't, I think

496
00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:58.069
if you really elite is one group good and then.

497
00:29:00.349 --> 00:29:04.509
Serviceable. Yeah. And then, then you have, you're just, you're,

498
00:29:05.789 --> 00:29:11.029
I mean, think about it. If you're a– Colt McCoy

499
00:29:11.049 --> 00:29:13.809
always comes to mind for this one. If you're a

500
00:29:13.990 --> 00:29:18.150
serviceable backup, you can stay in the league for 15

501
00:29:18.150 --> 00:29:21.069
years and make– I mean, I think Colt made over

502
00:29:21.069 --> 00:29:27.259
$ 50 million, hardly taking that many snaps. Yeah. Because that's

503
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:31.079
how– it means you're not great. You're not good enough

504
00:29:31.099 --> 00:29:34.140
to be a starter, but you're good enough to come

505
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.180
in and not lose the game if the starter goes out.

506
00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:39.890
Backup quarterback in the NFL.

507
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.660
Is one of the greatest jobs in the world because

508
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:46.180
not only are you already technically an elite athlete, but

509
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:49.089
you're making a good living and you're not getting... The

510
00:29:49.190 --> 00:29:52.109
odds of you getting murdered every Sunday are not high.

511
00:29:52.430 --> 00:29:53.730
For the starters, very high.

512
00:29:55.769 --> 00:29:56.150
But yeah, I mean.

513
00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:58.269
You can be engaged.

514
00:29:58.369 --> 00:30:01.369
You can know everything, be mentally locked in, but you

515
00:30:01.410 --> 00:30:04.089
don't have to physically go out there and get killed.

516
00:30:04.490 --> 00:30:05.109
Pretty good gig.

517
00:30:05.829 --> 00:30:08.950
And honestly, you don't even practice that much.

518
00:30:09.609 --> 00:30:12.130
No, you barely break a sweat all week.

519
00:30:12.569 --> 00:30:14.769
The only time you break a sweat as a backup

520
00:30:14.809 --> 00:30:17.109
quarterback is if the sauna was too hot that day

521
00:30:19.069 --> 00:30:21.450
or if you felt like going for a run for

522
00:30:21.509 --> 00:30:25.130
funsies or if it was just really hot on the

523
00:30:25.190 --> 00:30:25.710
back nine.

524
00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:30.180
Backup quarterback is really one of the sweetest gigs.

525
00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:33.000
And because you're so mentally with it, with the game,

526
00:30:33.059 --> 00:30:35.000
because you have to be because you can't, you're not

527
00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:36.259
running and taking all the snaps.

528
00:30:36.819 --> 00:30:39.299
You also have a really bright future as a coach

529
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:44.740
if you want it. Yep. Speaking of NFL quarterbacks, Jared

530
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:45.940
Goff is 32 today.

531
00:30:49.700 --> 00:30:53.160
Had one bright, shining year.

532
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.990
And has ridden that wave all the way to the bank.

533
00:30:57.430 --> 00:30:57.609
Mm-hmm.

534
00:30:59.259 --> 00:31:00.400
Other birthdays today.

535
00:31:00.740 --> 00:31:05.869
Stacey Keebler, formerly of the WWE and WCW, is 47,

536
00:31:05.869 --> 00:31:08.809
also formerly of being underneath George Clooney.

537
00:31:12.089 --> 00:31:14.470
He had a good run before he finally tied the knot.

538
00:31:16.009 --> 00:31:16.509
Yes, he did.

539
00:31:16.529 --> 00:31:21.960
It's one of the all-time... It's an all-timer. It's like, oh,

540
00:31:21.980 --> 00:31:22.980
you're finally getting married?

541
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.039
We understand. Clooney is Sinatra level in.

542
00:31:28.329 --> 00:31:34.910
those regards uh-huh uh also sinatra level not so much

543
00:31:35.210 --> 00:31:39.329
in attitude or talent but size natalie mains.

544
00:31:38.910 --> 00:31:44.089
Is 56 from the chicks no longer the dixie chicks

545
00:31:44.109 --> 00:31:46.609
because dixie is offensive she.

546
00:31:46.529 --> 00:31:53.480
Ate dixie i that i honestly and i that was

547
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:55.460
one of the more shocking things i when i saw

548
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.279
a picture of her i don't know by six months

549
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.819
ago for I was like, holy, because she was hot.

550
00:32:03.430 --> 00:32:06.589
Look, I'm all for you do you.

551
00:32:07.230 --> 00:32:10.049
I will stop just short of just outright across the

552
00:32:10.089 --> 00:32:14.480
board body positivity. I think that you can love who

553
00:32:14.500 --> 00:32:16.660
you are in your own skin, but ultimately there's a

554
00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:18.740
conversation that you have to have with your doctor.

555
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:20.539
If your doctor says you're healthy, then cool.

556
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:25.420
If not, then your body positivity thing needs to get

557
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:28.380
checked a little bit. I don't know her situation other

558
00:32:28.420 --> 00:32:30.769
than to say what Trey said. She looks very different

559
00:32:30.809 --> 00:32:33.910
now than when they were first breaking out onto the scene.

560
00:32:34.450 --> 00:32:34.609
Yeah.

561
00:32:35.710 --> 00:32:39.950
And I hope she's healthy. But she also needs some

562
00:32:40.069 --> 00:32:48.630
very wide open spaces. Actor and comedian Steve Coogan is 61.

563
00:32:48.630 --> 00:32:52.140
You may not recognize him instantly by his name, but

564
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:54.079
when I tell you who he's played.

565
00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:56.750
In certain things, you'll be like, oh yeah, that guy. Uh,

566
00:32:56.910 --> 00:32:57.849
he is, if I.

567
00:32:57.809 --> 00:33:00.569
Remember correctly, the little Roman soldier in night at the

568
00:33:00.609 --> 00:33:08.859
museum movies. He's also the director in tropic thunder. That's

569
00:33:08.890 --> 00:33:09.890
how I know Trey will know him.

570
00:33:10.019 --> 00:33:10.230
Yeah.

571
00:33:10.259 --> 00:33:12.680
See, Trey started to go to his phone and I

572
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.440
was like, director, tropic thunder. Trey knows exactly who the

573
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:15.920
guy is.

574
00:33:16.140 --> 00:33:19.900
Yeah. That really is the movie that keeps on giving.

575
00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:21.859
And I haven't, I have not watched it in so

576
00:33:21.900 --> 00:33:29.589
long and I need to, I, oh, Jim Rome is 62.

577
00:33:29.589 --> 00:33:36.380
Still just an amazing example of someone who I think

578
00:33:36.579 --> 00:33:42.440
is so mediocre but has such a mega career. I

579
00:33:42.700 --> 00:33:45.980
never liked this guy. Because I never knew who he was.

580
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.430
He was a radio personality. None of us knew who

581
00:33:48.490 --> 00:33:52.049
he was, like in DFW, until he was on ESPN2.

582
00:33:52.650 --> 00:33:56.009
And he had his talk show, right? And I always thought, like,

583
00:33:56.440 --> 00:34:00.009
this guy is just a grade a jerk. And then

584
00:34:00.049 --> 00:34:03.069
he had that moment with Chris Everett, the old quarterback

585
00:34:03.109 --> 00:34:06.930
of the Rams where, where it was actually Jim Everett,

586
00:34:06.970 --> 00:34:09.570
but he called him Chris Everett, the female tennis player.

587
00:34:09.949 --> 00:34:11.630
And he kept doing it to his face. And Jim

588
00:34:11.690 --> 00:34:13.460
Everett's like, call me Chris again.

589
00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:15.000
And he did.

590
00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:17.860
Jim Everett stood up and knocked that little man off

591
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.079
of his seat and they had to be separated.

592
00:34:21.179 --> 00:34:22.699
And he's ridden that wave to the bank.

593
00:34:25.389 --> 00:34:28.519
I just, it, You are absolutely, I mean, I know

594
00:34:28.579 --> 00:34:30.980
he was a big on the West coast as far,

595
00:34:31.019 --> 00:34:34.440
I believe as far as his talk show, not something, uh,

596
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:42.019
I had ever heard of. And, you know, he, he

597
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:45.079
was sports hot takes. I mean, he was, I'll give

598
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:46.920
him this. He's like an OG of the, of the,

599
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.719
of the sport talk, hot take, uh, just kind of

600
00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:54.860
outlandish stuff, but yeah, incredibly popular. But, yeah, I think

601
00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:00.039
the show was like Rome is Burning or something like that. But, yeah,

602
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.559
that Jim Everett is really what put him on the map.

603
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.670
And I know he's still out there. I don't ever

604
00:35:07.829 --> 00:35:10.349
see– hell, I don't even see any clips of him.

605
00:35:10.829 --> 00:35:13.030
But I know he's still going. But I'll be honest

606
00:35:13.070 --> 00:35:15.809
with you. As long as he's been around– you said

607
00:35:15.829 --> 00:35:20.570
he's only 62? Yeah. I feel– I would have thought

608
00:35:20.590 --> 00:35:23.110
he was in his 70s just by longevity.

609
00:35:24.110 --> 00:35:29.210
No, you're right about that. Lori Petty is 63 today.

610
00:35:30.030 --> 00:35:33.710
Had a hell of a 90s run. She was in

611
00:35:33.750 --> 00:35:37.239
A League of Their Own. She was in Tank Girl.

612
00:35:37.510 --> 00:35:39.380
I love that movie. That was a fun one. And

613
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:42.659
she was also the love interest opposite Keanu Reeves in

614
00:35:42.699 --> 00:35:43.219
Point Break.

615
00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:52.539
See, in Point Break, I thought she was attractive, and

616
00:35:52.579 --> 00:35:57.030
then She's one of those very, depending on the role,

617
00:35:57.050 --> 00:35:59.949
whether you think she was attractive or not.

618
00:36:01.210 --> 00:36:03.030
That's another way of saying it depends on the lighting.

619
00:36:04.989 --> 00:36:05.889
Like in the right lighting?

620
00:36:06.010 --> 00:36:06.489
Woo!

621
00:36:06.630 --> 00:36:07.389
In the wrong lighting?

622
00:36:08.949 --> 00:36:09.449
But you're right.

623
00:36:11.010 --> 00:36:15.480
Greg Evigan turned 73 today. Do you know him best

624
00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:20.730
as BJN the Bear or My Two Dads? This is

625
00:36:20.769 --> 00:36:21.530
an age test.

626
00:36:21.590 --> 00:36:22.030
Are you ready?

627
00:36:22.070 --> 00:36:25.699
Greg Avigan is 73. Do you remember him as the

628
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.679
bearded dad in My Two Dads or from BJ and

629
00:36:28.699 --> 00:36:28.980
the Bear?

630
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:30.599
My Two Dads.

631
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:31.960
Same here.

632
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:36.579
BJ and the Bear is a little before my time.

633
00:36:37.579 --> 00:36:38.619
I know, but let's be honest.

634
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:42.050
If I'm given the choice of two shows to watch,

635
00:36:42.730 --> 00:36:45.050
I get to watch just by synopsis.

636
00:36:45.090 --> 00:36:46.170
Do I want to watch a show.

637
00:36:46.869 --> 00:36:49.300
about a girl who has to go live with two

638
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:51.800
dads because they don't take a DNA test and she

639
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.119
doesn't know which one is her dad.

640
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:54.960
So they both raise her.

641
00:36:55.619 --> 00:36:57.889
Or do you want to watch a television show about

642
00:36:57.929 --> 00:37:00.429
a trucker with a chimpanzee as a sidekick?

643
00:37:02.449 --> 00:37:06.289
Well, a trucker with a chimpanzee as a sidekick, but

644
00:37:06.849 --> 00:37:11.619
looking back, looking back on the titles of those two shows,

645
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:13.320
you would think he's a gay icon.

646
00:37:22.690 --> 00:37:25.909
You are not wrong. And I don't think it's any

647
00:37:25.969 --> 00:37:34.349
coincidence that he looks a lot like George Michael. Happy birthday.

648
00:37:36.489 --> 00:37:37.190
You're fabulous.

649
00:37:39.969 --> 00:37:42.829

661
00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:22.840
Speaking of monkeys... How's that for a segue, Trey?

662
00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:28.619
A hospital is running out of beds after evil monkey

663
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:31.340
gangs have sent 40 victims to the infirmary.

664
00:38:36.010 --> 00:38:36.489
Oh, man.

665
00:38:37.380 --> 00:38:39.519
If you ever wonder how great of a country we

666
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:42.159
live in, you just need to read the occasional headline

667
00:38:42.260 --> 00:38:47.079
from some other countries to appreciate where we live. Residents

668
00:38:47.460 --> 00:38:50.480
in a town in Nepal are scared to be in

669
00:38:50.500 --> 00:38:54.219
their own homes after a massive surge in monkey gang

670
00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:58.099
attacks where the monkeys enter properties.

671
00:38:57.699 --> 00:39:00.289
And cause carnage. Jesus Christ.

672
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.190
Now they're ramping up security to deal with the onslaught

673
00:39:07.869 --> 00:39:11.969
of apes who reportedly break into homes and shops. Once

674
00:39:12.010 --> 00:39:16.530
they're inside, they cause havoc, biting and scratching terrified victims.

675
00:39:16.550 --> 00:39:20.190
That's according to reports. And they also say they travel

676
00:39:20.250 --> 00:39:24.849
in gangs. And the government is currently developing a plan

677
00:39:24.969 --> 00:39:31.070
to deal with the growing monkey menace. This hospital reported

678
00:39:31.070 --> 00:39:33.889
40 people have sought medical treatment after being bitten by

679
00:39:33.969 --> 00:39:38.000
monkeys over the past month and a half alone. And

680
00:39:38.059 --> 00:39:43.739
I'm having a hard time placing what exact species of

681
00:39:43.900 --> 00:39:46.960
monkeys or apes we're talking about.

682
00:39:46.980 --> 00:39:48.599
Because like in the photos....

683
00:39:49.380 --> 00:39:54.199
They're not capuchin cute monkeys, but they're not marauding chimpanzees.

684
00:39:54.260 --> 00:39:56.639
If they were chimpanzees, the people wouldn't make it to

685
00:39:56.659 --> 00:39:57.119
the hospital.

686
00:39:57.139 --> 00:39:59.000
They'd be dead. They're smaller monkey types.

687
00:39:59.820 --> 00:40:00.760
It's a gang of macaques.

688
00:40:03.070 --> 00:40:03.289
Really?

689
00:40:03.309 --> 00:40:06.250
I'm pretty sure.

690
00:40:07.170 --> 00:40:07.949
It's a macaque gang?

691
00:40:09.010 --> 00:40:09.449
It has to be.

692
00:40:10.309 --> 00:40:10.630
Of course.

693
00:40:12.010 --> 00:40:19.469
Roving violent macaques. Hide your wife, hide your daughters.

694
00:40:23.230 --> 00:40:29.469
Because macaques are on the prowl. There's one photo of

695
00:40:29.489 --> 00:40:33.670
the macaques leaping over fences before attacking. There's one of

696
00:40:33.690 --> 00:40:36.250
the doctors who works at the hospital said the rise

697
00:40:36.289 --> 00:40:39.469
in the incidence of macaques entering homes to bite people

698
00:40:40.269 --> 00:40:41.469
is a concerning new trend.

699
00:40:41.929 --> 00:40:43.650
Oh, I can't wait for next season of The Pit.

700
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:49.480
This is also one of those things where you realize

701
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:57.719
there's a video going around about how California deals with

702
00:40:57.739 --> 00:41:01.170
the hog problem versus how Texas deals with the hog problem. California,

703
00:41:01.369 --> 00:41:04.889
it's this reporter saying, well, you can build an extra fence.

704
00:41:05.750 --> 00:41:09.389
Try shooting them with paintballs. Do this and that to

705
00:41:09.610 --> 00:41:12.010
ward them off. Then it shows Texas where you've got

706
00:41:12.050 --> 00:41:16.199
helicopters and four-wheelers and automatic guns. They're just mowing them down.

707
00:41:17.710 --> 00:41:24.010
Because yeah the hogs do billions of dollars of damage

708
00:41:24.070 --> 00:41:27.110
every year there's yeah feral hogs are a horrible problem

709
00:41:28.369 --> 00:41:29.550
and you quickly realize.

710
00:41:30.010 --> 00:41:36.989
It's like i love that meanwhile in texas.

711
00:41:35.019 --> 00:41:37.360
It shows a four-wheeler with what looks like you know

712
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:42.280
like gatling gun you know exactly yeah just yeah A

713
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:43.110
turbine going.

714
00:41:43.489 --> 00:41:48.929
Yeah. You've, you've got a mounted Gatling gun on top

715
00:41:48.969 --> 00:41:49.969
of a four wheeler.

716
00:41:50.769 --> 00:41:54.530
Yeah. It's exactly, that's exactly what it is. And, you know,

717
00:41:54.570 --> 00:41:57.469
and then, you know, someone in a helicopter and you're like, yeah,

718
00:41:59.130 --> 00:42:00.030
this is one of those stories.

719
00:42:00.090 --> 00:42:05.960
It's like, if this were Texas, the story would be

720
00:42:06.019 --> 00:42:07.420
over real fast. Yeah.

721
00:42:11.789 --> 00:42:14.070
The macaques got shot. Uh-huh.

722
00:42:14.289 --> 00:42:14.650
A lot.

723
00:42:15.670 --> 00:42:19.170
The hospital's medical superintendent said the urban monkey attacks are

724
00:42:19.190 --> 00:42:21.869
an unusual occurrence for the facility, which is struggling to

725
00:42:21.929 --> 00:42:25.579
keep up with the cases. One resident told the Nepal

726
00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:27.679
News a group of monkeys entered his home and attacked

727
00:42:27.699 --> 00:42:29.920
three of his family members when they tried to drive

728
00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:33.199
them away. Another local said he was injured while trying

729
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:35.760
to remove a pack of monkeys, which had just come

730
00:42:35.820 --> 00:42:39.519
from wrecking a nearby shop. The city's fearful residents are

731
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:42.489
now pleading with authorities to do something about the monkey menace,

732
00:42:42.550 --> 00:42:44.650
which shows no signs of slowing.

733
00:42:45.190 --> 00:42:45.610
You know what?

734
00:42:45.889 --> 00:42:49.630
It's really hard to get those macaques down when they're

735
00:42:49.690 --> 00:42:49.880
on it.

736
00:42:51.969 --> 00:42:55.590
I mean, are you just supposed to, instead of fighting them,

737
00:42:55.610 --> 00:42:57.610
just lay back and take it from the macaques?

738
00:43:01.949 --> 00:43:07.690
That is not recommended, despite what a former... gubernatorial candidate

739
00:43:07.730 --> 00:43:09.449
of the state of Texas would have you believe.

740
00:43:09.469 --> 00:43:15.510
There you go, Clayton Williams. You haven't been mentioned in

741
00:43:15.510 --> 00:43:17.170
20 years. There you go.

742
00:43:17.989 --> 00:43:19.449
You're still on our minds, though, pal.

743
00:43:19.550 --> 00:43:24.829
Still on our minds. Look, it's either that or you

744
00:43:24.849 --> 00:43:26.849
just show him a photo. Either that or you show

745
00:43:26.869 --> 00:43:27.969
him a current photo.

746
00:43:27.750 --> 00:43:31.820
Of Natalie Mays. I don't know about that.

747
00:43:33.659 --> 00:43:35.119
It might just go crazy. You never know.

748
00:43:35.139 --> 00:43:35.840
You know what I'm talking about.

749
00:43:39.530 --> 00:43:42.369
Might wind them up more. All right. I think that's

750
00:43:42.409 --> 00:43:44.809
a solid wrap up on this here edition of the

751
00:43:44.849 --> 00:43:46.329
Treehouse Show. Thank you for being here.

752
00:43:46.489 --> 00:43:49.289
If you loved what you heard here today, or even

753
00:43:49.349 --> 00:43:51.190
if you just kind of liked it, share it with

754
00:43:51.250 --> 00:43:52.469
a friend and we all can have a lot of

755
00:43:52.530 --> 00:43:56.449
fun inside the treehouse almost each and every day.

756
00:43:57.250 --> 00:44:00.050
And then we can grow the Treehouse Show all together.

757
00:44:00.110 --> 00:44:00.699
That's how we do it.

758
00:44:00.699 --> 00:44:01.820
All right.

759
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:09.429
We'll see you next time right here inside the treehouse. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
