23
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.519
from Houston today. He will be at the Addison Improv tonight.

24
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.120
Thank you for that. I appreciate that I have a

25
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.879
hard enough time keeping my own schedule, let alone his,

26
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.239
especially when he tells me the morning of what it is.

27
00:01:58.319 --> 00:01:58.959
Yes, it's.

28
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.079
Even though he's known for weeks, you and I never

29
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.920
find out until the morning of. So yeah, so thank

30
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.120
you for the correction. I didn't see the newly updated

31
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:14.479
travel form from RAG. All Right, today is June twenty six,

32
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.240
twenty twenty five. Today is Thursday. We're right there, right

33
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.400
near the end of the week and right on the

34
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:25.840
cusp of a new month. And this is not necessarily

35
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.199
a seasonal announcement. It's just a major announcement that I

36
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.800
think some people might be excited to hear. But I

37
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.080
need you to brace yourselves for it, because this is

38
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.479
an announcement that I don't think most people can truly

39
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:47.479
prepare themselves for. All Right, so here we go, A

40
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:54.960
new best place to have herpes has been named. Finally,

41
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.400
I mean, I didn't know there was a good place

42
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.960
to have have herpes. I just they were all bad.

43
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.400
I assumed it was Texas State and San Marcos, But

44
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:03.919
you know.

45
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:05.919
Is it sad?

46
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:06.080
Though?

47
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.840
When I first saw the headline best place to have herpes,

48
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.280
I wondered, is there another spot on the body besides

49
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.120
you know, the groin and the mouth, Like, do you

50
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:22.599
want a fingertip herpes? I don't really want I herpes?

51
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:25.919
Do you want nipple herpes? I mean, there's all sorts

52
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.159
of locations on the body where you don't want herpes,

53
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.280
And honestly, you don't want herpes anywhere. But the more

54
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.879
the human race continues humping each other, we're all basically

55
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.000
going to have every possible STD all at the same time. Anyway,

56
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.240
So you know what, if you're out there and you're

57
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.360
swinging it around and you're slinging that around, just get

58
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:48.240
it all out of the way.

59
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:48.800
Just get it.

60
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:55.159
But if you're curious, I am, the best place to

61
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:04.639
have herpes on planet Earth is New Zealand. Okay, yeah,

62
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.800
much like herpes. I didn't see that coming.

63
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.919
I didn't. Yeah, that's uh, that's surprising.

64
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.680
And here's the thing, it's self admitted. It's not like

65
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.759
someone just posted it in a weird forum online that

66
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.000
people found out about, or an awkward comment on a

67
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:26.000
Facebook post New Zealand. New Zealand has said we are

68
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.600
the best place in the world to have herpes, so

69
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.959
much so they actually started a website, the best place

70
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:36.639
in the World to have herpes dot com. Honest to god,

71
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.600
I bet they had no problem registering that domain name.

72
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.000
They didn't have to worry about saying damn it, someone

73
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.720
already got that. We're gonna have to go with a

74
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.560
dot net or a dot info. Nope, that one was

75
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.560
free and available, or.

76
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.519
Back in the old days, were to be dot n z.

77
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:58.079
Yeah. Uh and this is this is actually a somewhat

78
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.839
of a stunt by the New Zealand Herpees Foundation.

79
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:07.639
Wile herpes has a foundation, I am learning something new

80
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:09.279
every minute today.

81
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:14.000
I'm hoping that the New Zealand Herpes Foundation is simply

82
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.279
spreading awareness and not more herpees. I'd like to see

83
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:22.839
what their mission statement is. But according to the New

84
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:28.360
Zealand Herpes Foundation, to fix our national pride, the solution

85
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.639
is obvious herpes. That was the pitch made by the

86
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.480
charity New Zealand Herpes Foundation last October when it launched

87
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.519
a campaign to make the country the best place to

88
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.720
have the infection. That campaign has been a roaring success,

89
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.720
winning a top prize at this year's can Lyons Awards,

90
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.600
which recognize excellence in the creative industry. So I guess

91
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.199
it's just basically advertising campaign. The campaign, which aimed to

92
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:01.199
destigmatize herpes via a faux tourism ad, was awarded the

93
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.639
Grand Prix for Good, a category that seeks to highlight

94
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.040
work by nonprofit organizations and charities. The video starred Sir

95
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.040
Graham Henry, the former head coach of the national rugby

96
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.079
union team. In it, he touted the past successes of

97
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.279
New Zealand and lamented its diminishing sources of national pride,

98
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.720
such as an embarrassingly low sheep to human ratio and

99
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.079
pies that are pushing seven bucks. He said, we need

100
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.560
something new to be proud of, something big and brave,

101
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.759
to put us back on the map. That's what he

102
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.319
said as he scrawled the words herpies in all capital

103
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.199
letters on a chalkboard. It's time for New Zealand to

104
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.199
become the best place in the world to have herpes.

105
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.040
Congratulations New Zealand, you won the Big Advertising Award.

106
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.160
Are the achillies that desperate.

107
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.560
I mean, just maybe they want to challenge, because, honest

108
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.279
to God, when someone asks, you know, hey, what's one

109
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.639
of the most beautiful places on Earth, I'd probably say

110
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.800
New zer because a good chunk of the fun and

111
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.519
interesting things that came out of the Hobbit movies was

112
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.319
all the different locations that they shot in New Zealand, Like,

113
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.560
that's a beautiful place. And those movies were so popular

114
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.800
that New Zealand even built a true life Hobbit village

115
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.800
just like that you saw in the films. Now, I

116
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.199
gotta wonder if the Hobbitses have the herpeses.

117
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.759
Yeah, I mean, if Frodo and Samwise had cult sores.

118
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.839
I mean, it would have made that frolicking on the

119
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.160
bed a little h little more odd.

120
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.680
And now we know I saw Ron was keeping such

121
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:43.439
an eye on them, I would too, cut off my mountain.

122
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:54.920

126
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.560
Cook DFW. The website COOKDFW dot com. Daniel, is it

127
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.920
possible to completely hail proof your house?

128
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.120
Unfortunately, Dan, No, that that's you know, they haven't come

129
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.720
out with any products that's going to be, you know,

130
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.319
be able to withstand all hell. Now they have come

131
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.000
out with a lot of products that are hail resistant,

132
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.600
and it does increase your likelihood of not having to

133
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:26.439
replace your roof.

134
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:26.839
As long.

135
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.839
Promotion that we're doing right now for June is we're

136
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:34.919
upgrading clients to a class for shingles for this whole

137
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:36.759
purpose is to try to extend the life of the

138
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.440
roof and hopefully they don't have to go through as

139
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:39.440
many insurance claims.

140
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:40.759
And so those are.

141
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.200
Things that you know you can do.

142
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:43.559
You can put metal roof.

143
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.080
On it, but they get dense and they don't cosmetically

144
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.919
look that good after a couple of hell storms. And

145
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:52.159
so there's other materials out there that are rubberized, but

146
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.320
there's nothing that truly hailproof, and especially in certain parts

147
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.679
of the of the area that gets super large hell.

148
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.720
So a lot of options though, we can definitely come

149
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.519
out and give those to you because you can get

150
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.600
insurance premium discounts and different things like that. So definitely

151
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.840
a good a good road to go down and educate

152
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:09.360

153
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.600

168
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.960
We've both used them here inside the Treehouse, not only

169
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.440
for ourselves, but friends and family recommend them to you

170
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.240
as well. Eight three to three COOKDFW or that website

171
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.720
cookdfw dot com. This is the Treehouse Show. I'm Daniel

172
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.960
Malley along with Trey Trenholm. Today's Thursday, June twenty six,

173
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:25.000
twenty twenty five. Going back to New Zealand claiming itself

174
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.440
as the best place in the world to have herpes.

175
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:29.879
The story that I read it was more about the

176
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.480
ad campaign and how it was a faux ad campaign

177
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:36.440
for tourism. But they don't really get into the actual

178
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:41.879
nuts and bolts as to why they think New Zealand

179
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.440
is a great place to have herpes, other than they

180
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.200
just want a new source of national pride or it's

181
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.360
just because the views are really pretty. So I'm still

182
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.320
kind of confused as to why they would want to

183
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.080
champion that of all things to you know. But they did,

184
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.080
and it got and it made a which is great

185
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.879
for them. But I'm still left with questions.

186
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.320
If you had said Australia, I would have been like, Okay, yeah,

187
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.960
that lines up dirty Aussies. I get it, sure, But

188
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.679
yeah I don't. I don't understand the point. You know,

189
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.799
you say they're championing, championing the cause of herpes. I mean,

190
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.519
are are they advocating for more people to get it?

191
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.039
Again? I have questions and you too. And that's what

192
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.360
happens when you see some of these types of stories,

193
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:39.240
is it begs more questions than I have ever had.

194
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.879
I mean it does, like if I guess, like if

195
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.440
you're I think it's like I think I've seen like

196
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.039
the herpes medication commercials, and it's usually whenever like those

197
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.919
medication commercials come on, there's usually someone taking a hike

198
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.519
somewhere and they're in nature and doing something. I mean,

199
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.960
there's few places on Earth more beautiful than New Zealand.

200
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:00.879
So if your plan is to go on a hike

201
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.879
in New Zealand and you have herpes or I'm sorry,

202
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:05.960
if you have herpes and you want to go someplace

203
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.039
pretty for a hike, I guess New Zealand is saying,

204
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:09.639
what better place than here?

205
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.679
Yeah, if you just feel like I guess there's missing something,

206
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.320
you know, something's missing in your life and it's herpes,

207
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:24.399
and there's where you go, Like I I've read that

208
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:29.840
there's a rise of STDs because, uh, you know, when

209
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:35.559
we were in high school and growing up, AIDS was terrifying,

210
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:42.000
and you know, we were just absolutely hit over the

211
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:46.000
head of safe sex, safe sex, safe sex, and yeah,

212
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.720
you don't see that anymore. There's no because you know,

213
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.519
even HIV is not really uh, I mean, it's treatable

214
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:56.840
at this.

215
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:02.120
Point, very treatable. Kids these days are getting the HPV

216
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:06.399
vaccination like around I think originally it was twelve. Now

217
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.960
I think they can get it as early as like

218
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:12.200
nine or ten. So yeah, that's where you know, the

219
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.360
science part comes in, and the vaccinations and treatments of

220
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.559
various things, you know, certainly help. I did see in

221
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:23.960
here that here it is in that story talking about

222
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.799
New Zealand saying we're the best place in the world

223
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.639
for herpes. Around one in three sexually active adults in

224
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.840
New Zealand has the virus that causes genital herpes, though

225
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.840
most have mild or no symptoms and can lead ordinary lives.

226
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:41.360
That's according to the New Zealand Herpes Foundation. So the

227
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.240
idea is is partly to destigmatize the herpes infection among

228
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.440
people one in three. That sounds high.

229
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.919
That sounds that sounds very high.

230
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.720
I mean, maybe now we know why the Tasmanian devil

231
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:06.399
is so angry, just rampant herpes infections. Yeah, I don't

232
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.320
know what it currently is in the United States. I

233
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.519
think I remember hearing that it's like one in five

234
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:17.320
or one in six with HPV. But that's not herpes.

235
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:19.120
That's different. So I have no idea.

236
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.960
Oral herpes. This is this is a ten year old data.

237
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.120
But they said oral herpes forty seven point eight percent of.

238
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.360
Adults general states.

239
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:36.879
Yes, okay, genital herpes eleven point nine percent.

240
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:38.799
That's a big swing.

241
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.240
Yeah.

242
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.399
Well, if you're any fun, one of those numbers is

243
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.000
going to go up a lot higher.

244
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.000
I mean it sounds like New Zealand is, you know,

245
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:52.960
trying to be the new age version of a leper

246
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.799
colony is just a lot more fun because it's just herpes.

247
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.679
Or they're really taking that herd immunity thing to heart.

248
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.840
Just someone popping up out of the bush, like all right,

249
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:08.159
I got an idea, hear me out.

250
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.519
And that does raise a question, you know, are the

251
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.159
sheep okay?

252
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.759
They did say the human to sheep ratio has dwindled.

253
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.320
That was the most perfectly untum in.

254

Well, we have something in common with New Zealand. We

258
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.519
have a foundation. We have a charity, not not not

259
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.600
not not the Herpes thing. We have our own foundation.

260
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:05.039
It's very different than the Herpes one in New Zealand.

261
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.039
In fact, the RMS tree House Listeners Foundation benefits the

262
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.679

is the Treehouse Show. I'm Dan. He's Trey. Today is Thursday,

268
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.320
June twenty six, two thy twenty five. Trey. Do you

269
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.519
remember your graduation presence? Do you remember a really good

270
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:44.879
graduation present for high school? Gosh, it's okay to say no,

271
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:49.159
because I can't. Yeah, all I remember was my high

272
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.960
school graduation happened in Arlington. It happened at that new

273
00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.200
museum I guess is what. It was, just north of

274
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.920
the ballpark in Arlington, across that body of water. Not

275
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:06.880
even sure if it's still there after all the development

276
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.920
that's happened in that area. But the only thing I

277
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.119
really remember about my graduation was a little bit of

278
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:16.640
the graduation details, the location, and I remember my family

279
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.599
being split because my mom and dad were not going

280
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.759
to sit anywhere near each other, so they were at

281
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:28.200
opposite seats in the arena. And that's really about it.

282
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.480
We went to dinner afterwards. That's all I remember. I

283
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:35.039
don't really remember a bunch of graduation gifts. We had

284
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:40.480
a party. There was a graduation party.

285
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.759
That was like supervised, like you once you got there,

286
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.599
it was after the ceremony and everything else. You had

287
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.480
to be in there by like ten o'clock and then

288
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:53.519
you weren't going to leave until the next day or

289
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.519
at least early in the morning. So they knew kids

290
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.559
are gonna be drinking and stuff, and so yeah, they

291
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.440
made it a safe as possible. But I I don't

292
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.319
really even I don't even remember that.

293
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.680
I well, you also graduated college, and that's that's a

294
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.200
whole other level of graduation honors and maybe parties and

295
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.960
gifts and such.

296
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:16.079
You know.

297
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.640
The only gift I got that I truly remember is

298
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:26.160
a very good friend of mine I was older. Forrest

299
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.680
got me a some sessions with a financial planner, and

300
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.200
I just look back now and go had I just

301
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.720
listened to that guy, I would, you know, be in

302
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:39.359
great shape. But because everything he told me not to do,

303
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:39.799
I did.

304
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.440
It's amazing how we hear some of the best advice,

305
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.599
especially money advice, when we're young, and I heard I

306
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.440
heard a lot of great money advice when I was young.

307
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.920
Problem is, I don't have any So even if I

308
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.240
wanted to do all those things, I couldn't do most

309
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.559
of them. I couldn't do most any sensible money saving

310
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:04.519
anythings until I was around thirty. Well, not all graduation

311
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.680
presents are created equal. Just ask one kid from Taiwan

312
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:13.079
whose parents hired sexy pole dancers for his graduation presence.

313
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:13.960
Yeah.

314
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.720
Yeah, I'm wondering how good they were, because apparently they

315
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:23.400
were so good or bad it prompted police action. The

316
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.519
boy's mother says her desire for a graduation gift that

317
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:34.839
would be unforgettable and different from typical graduation celebrations drove her. Uh.

318
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:40.319
The parents hired not one, but two pole dancers to

319
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:45.920
perform outside their son's secondary school as a celebration of

320
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.400
his graduation.

321
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:51.759
Secondary So that's like junior high.

322
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.039
This is Taiwan. So I'm I'm I don't know for sure,

323
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:01.680
but maybe the performance took place outside Taichung Municipal one,

324
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.759
a junior high school in mid June. There you have it,

325
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.720
Junior High. That was right after the graduation ceremony concluded

326
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.200
and students exited the building. Many shock students and parents

327
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.279
gathered to watch their performance of the two female dancers. Okay,

328
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.000
that's a good thing to point out. I just assumed

329
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:24.440
they were female dancers, and they were. It would have

330
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.240
been interesting if if it had been one and one.

331
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:31.400
Well it's Thailand, so uh Taiwan, Oh Taiwan. Sorry my bad.

332
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:35.960
Yeah, you get pole dancers from for a Thailand junior

333
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.400
high graduation? You know it's you know what that's gonna be.

334
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.359
That's gonna be a box of chocolates.

335
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:46.279
That's with nuts.

336
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.480
Oh man. Many shock students and parents gathered to watch it.

337
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.359
This created a buzz of disbelief in the crowd. A

338
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.839
young boy who was invited to stand between their performers

339
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:03.319
appeared visibly embarrassed during the minute long show. The dancers

340
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:06.759
later climbed onto the roofs of two SUVs, where separate

341
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:12.440
polls were installed, and continued their performance from there. One

342
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.039
of these poles on one of these vehicles on an SUV.

343
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:20.079
They're both jeeps. One of the jeeps is a jeep

344
00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:26.160
decorated with Leelo and Stitch Jesus. The boy's mother told

345
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:28.279
the media that the pole dance was sponsored by a

346
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.839
friend and choreographed by herself, aiming to stand out among

347
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.160
various graduation activities. Congratulations, Mom, you nailed it.

348
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.960
Yeah, stood out globally.

349
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.960
Yeah, she said, I hope this will be an unforgettable

350
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.880
graduation gift for my son. Well, considering how much he

351
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.240
was probably standing out, I imagine it was.

352
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:53.599
Oh.

353
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:59.920
The only thing bigger than his standoutedness at the show

354
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.200
of love and appreciation for graduating Junior High. The only

355
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:05.599
thing bigger than that is the amount of my envy,

356
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:10.880
because you know what I did after graduating Junior High.

357
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.000
Went to Arby's Good five for five. And that's not

358
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.720
a euphemism. We just actually walked to Arby's.

359
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.119
There was no you know that's that is something that

360
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:25.720
that progressed as I don't even think there was a

361
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:30.000
quote unquote graduation ceremony from Junior High, like you graduated

362
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.160
high school. There was no like this deal of your

363
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.240
elementary school ceremony and everything else. And I think we

364
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.400
did have a ceremony at the end of elementary school,

365
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.440
but that's after, you know, that was also five years,

366
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:46.400
you know, five grades and uh, you know, but the

367
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:48.680
whole junior high graduation. I don't even think that was

368
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.160
a thing.

369
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:51.200
No, I think I was just told to get out.

370
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.799
What I am especially here in Texas. I am shocked, though.

371
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:01.920
I am shocked that I have never and this guy

372
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:06.759
includes NASCAR races everything else, I have never seen a

373
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.920
pickup with a stripper pole in the back. Well, partner,

374
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:17.759
you put that in with some truck nuts and you

375
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:18.680
have got a party.

376
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:25.720
Oh yes, real quick. If anyone's curious what the boy

377
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.559
had to say about his parents' exciting graduation gift of

378
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:35.200
pole dancers outside the junior high graduation, the boys said

379
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:38.880
to the media he was stunned and speechless seeing the

380
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:43.160
pole dancing that was arranged by his parents. He added, However,

381
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:46.680
considering my parents' intentions, I chose not to object.

382
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.640
Ever, since then, he's been taking two hour showers.

383
00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:58.359
And he has not been seen since.

384

Talkback on Tuesdays right here inside the Treehouse show, He's Trey,

395
00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:56.119
I am Dan. Today is Thursday, June twenty six, twenty five.

396
00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.839
Last week inside the Treehouse we debuted a new feature

397
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.839
called Trey's Twatts, and originally it was designed as a

398
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:11.240
way for Trey to channel some of his thoughts, opinions,

399
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:18.079
strongly held beliefs at certain people's I would like to

400
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:23.960
amend the feature ever so slightly if it pleases you,

401
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:30.680
mister Trendholm. Okay, okay, thank you. I have a submission

402
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:36.599
for Trey's twats. It's just an idea. I'm throwing it

403
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:43.720
at you. You are still judge jury and well not executioner,

404
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:47.400
but inductor. You have the final say on whether or

405
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:52.200
not any submission by me, Raj, Jerry or a Treehouse

406
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:59.200
listener will be included and or will be enshrined into

407
00:25:59.200 --> 00:25:59.880
Trey's twats.

408
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.480
Okay, I like it. I've got two in mind, so I'm.

409
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:08.440
Oh, well, let's see, let's see where my submission falls. Okay.

410
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:14.559
So my first submission up for your approval tray into

411
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:19.960
Trey's TWATS is doctor Natasha Fernando from the United Kingdom.

412
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.880
The reason why I think she should be included and

413
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:30.039
inducted into Trey's twats is because doctor Natasha Fernando is

414
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.240
telling people the best thing to drink during a heat

415
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:42.359
wave is milk. There's still a disgusting pile in an

416
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:46.640
end zone in a middle school in Plano where a

417
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:48.960
bunch of us thought milk would be a good idea

418
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:56.000
before football practice, and we all heartily disagree with doctor Fernando.

419
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:02.640
I can't remember before four obviously, no, but after if

420
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:06.880
you're really think you're dehydrated, I can can see where

421
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:08.480
they would think milk would be good.

422
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:09.039
Yeah.

423
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.039
I got a lot of vitamins, nutrients, stuff like that.

424
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:17.599
The thing is, I still remember that morning workout. I

425
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.000
think it was it was eighth grade, and it was

426
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:22.559
actually before football practice. It was just we had eighth

427
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.160
grade first period football whatever, that was air quotes, and

428
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:31.440
it was just conditioning and stuff. So that first day

429
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:36.119
of school of eighth grade, first period involved a bunch

430
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:39.000
of running. And the reason why is because all our

431
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:42.519
coaches knew we ate cereal and they wanted to change that.

432
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.720
And what better way to change dietary habits of you know,

433
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.559
thirteen and fourteen year olds than by making them puke

434
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:50.920
their guts out. So that's what we did. We ran

435
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:54.319
until we were all throwing up in the end zone.

436
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.920
By the way, gen Z, if you're hearing this, this

437
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:01.079
is why we're better than you. It's not just physical trauma.

438
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:04.920
It's the mental trauma that goes along with these things.

439
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:07.920
And it also makes for a great funny story when

440
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:09.200
you're you know, middle aged.

441
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:15.319
Yeah, running running like that. Bear crawls, I'm sure that

442
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:16.319
is something that isn't.

443
00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:18.519
Oh that was involved. Yep, it was. It was a

444
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.880
whole bunch of stuff disguised as just you know, exercises

445
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:22.920
to make everybody puke it.

446
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:27.880
Bear crawls like that was punishment. Uh, you know, if

447
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:30.000
you really screwed up in a game or just were

448
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:32.119
late or whatever, you know, you could end up doing

449
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.640
bear crawls around the field. Uh always fun in the

450
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:37.319
Texas heat.

451
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.839
You know what's bad is uh. I still have the

452
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.880
occasional nightmare where I show up for football practice in

453
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.559
high school and I don't have my pads because I

454
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.440
left them at home in the washer. I did that,

455
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:54.440
I think twice, and I had to like drive home

456
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:56.400
real fast and go get him and come back before

457
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.799
practice started. And one time I was late and I

458
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:03.000
had to do bear crawls after practice. That affected me

459
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:05.279
so much as a forty five year old man. I

460
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.519
still have dreams about forgetting my pads at home.

461
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:14.640
What still amazes me about We're close enough in age

462
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.480
you probably had the same thing, but that more of

463
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.359
us didn't die because water was not something that you

464
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.720
just had access to whenever you wanted. When we were

465
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:28.759
doing especially two a day's or just practice in general,

466
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:31.200
you got water when the coach said you could get water,

467
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:33.519
and if you were really had a bad practice, they

468
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:34.680
weren't giving you any water.

469
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:39.079
It was withheld. Yeah. Yeah, I was part of the

470
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:43.319
generation that came just long enough after you Trey to

471
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:47.440
where we actually had water delivery systems in place. Like

472
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:49.920
some coach in his off time decided to put together

473
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:54.599
some elaborate PVC thing, so we could all get to

474
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:57.519
the water station at the same time and drink water.

475
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.400
But it was still it was still under lock and

476
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:04.400
key by the coaches. You couldn't just go over there

477
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:06.920
and get it whenever you felt like it. It was

478
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:09.559
when they allotted it or you begged.

479
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.200
If you were on the sideline like it during practice,

480
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:14.720
you had to sneak, you know, you were hiding behind

481
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.319
somebody if you were like getting hit from the water bottle, and.

482
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:19.680
That's what we would do. We would get like some

483
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:21.559
of the biggest guys. So like, I'm not the tallest guy,

484
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:23.720
never never was, but back then I was actually a

485
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:27.240
little bit taller. That's what happens when you don't have

486
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:31.119
any more discs in your vertebrae. Anyway, what you could

487
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.160
do is you could stand behind the really big guys,

488
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.960
or if you were, you know, well liked enough, you

489
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:39.480
could tell some of the big guys, hey, Jason moved

490
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:41.640
like three feet to your right, and then you could

491
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:43.759
just kind of hide behind him and then just sip

492
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:45.880
some water then put it back. Now, because if you

493
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:50.279
were not given the approval for a water break, there

494
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:52.799
was always one coach that knew. It's like he could

495
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.039
hear it flowing. It's like he would look over and

496
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:58.559
be like, hey, no water for you. What have you

497
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:04.599
done to deserve that water? Yeah? Anyway, my submission for

498
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:08.039
trace twats this week is doctor Natasha Fernando from the

499
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.839
United Kingdom, because she says milk is the best thing

500
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.559
to drink during a heat wave. The reasoning eighty seven

501
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:18.799
percent water and it's loaded with electrolytes, so it keeps

502
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:23.759
you hydrated longer than water does, and it has sodium

503
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:26.599
to help your body hold on to the water. Well

504
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:27.480
that's the electrolytes.

505
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.319
While while a noble submission, I have to reject.

506
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:36.400
That one, I'm all for one on my first trade

507
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:37.119
you are.

508
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.720
I'm sorry, but uh no, today's you know, trace twats

509
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.200
is going to have to be the Texas legislature.

510
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.079
Oh what they do now, I can't keep up.

511
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.880
It's what they didn't do. So, you know, we were

512
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:53.640
talking about the whole greb Abbot surprised everyone of vedoing

513
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:56.519
the THHC bill and then it turns out, well, it's

514
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.559
just because like he didn't like a lot of the language,

515
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.480
and they're calling us legislative session because there's like five

516
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.839
things they didn't get done. All you guys you have

517
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.920
time to have a leaping mariachi band at the end

518
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:13.400
of session, celebrating yourselves, but yet you didn't get crap done,

519
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:15.160
and then you got to come back to a special

520
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:20.079
legislative session costs a taxpayer money just because if all

521
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:22.480
you have, you have two years to prepare or a

522
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:26.079
year and a half for five months of work, how

523
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:33.599
can y'all not get your crap done. It's it's ridiculous.

524
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:36.839
It always has been, you know. They And the sad

525
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:39.880
thing now is calling a special session used to be

526
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:43.319
a huge deal, Like governors really were very reluctant to

527
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:45.839
do it because of the cost, because of everything else.

528
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:49.759
It had to been. Like school funding back in the

529
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:51.559
day was like the one thing, like they would call

530
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.119
a special session, try to work it out. Now, like

531
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:57.599
five things they didn't get done? What are you twats

532
00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:58.359
doing down there?

533
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:01.160
Well, they're they're too busy making sure that the Ten

534
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:05.160
Commandments are going to be displayed in schools. Irony there

535
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.039
is maybe they should have started. If you're going to

536
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.000
display rules places for people to follow, maybe you should

537
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:13.440
have started with the Constitution in the capital. You know,

538
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.960
that's and the other thing is this if and this

539
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:20.400
is my thing. I'm all for freedom of religion. I'm

540
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.920
also for freedom from religion. But allow me to say

541
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:28.359
this about the state of Texas passing legislation mandating the

542
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:35.839
Ten Commandments be displayed in schools. You first display them

543
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.960
in the capital and follow them. If you can do that,

544
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:45.599
then you can sit in a position of superiority and

545
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.799
dictate to the rest of the state on how you

546
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:51.359
think they should behave. That's how I feel about it.

547
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:57.960
I think it's just it's it's pandering to an absurd

548
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:02.119
base at times that uh, it is ridiculous. Of all

549
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:04.720
the things we have going on and the things we

550
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:09.159
have to worry about, real significant issues, the Ten Commandments, uh,

551
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:12.360
you know, especially for a state that loves the death

552
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:22.480
penalty is a bit much. And you know, just the

553
00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:25.639
general rules, love my neighbor, respect.

554
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:25.519
You know.

555
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.360
Yeah, you could just put the Golden rule up, just

556
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.639
one right there across the top. That pretty much settles

557
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:32.159
all the rest.

558
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:36.039
Yeah, when when you have everything else figured out, then

559
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:39.119
let's let's let's let's worry then about the Ten Commandments.

560
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:40.840
But until then, shut them up.

561
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:44.239
That's what's on the Treehouse Wall.

562
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:51.119

566
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:14.119
All right, right, this is the Treehouse Show. I'm Dan, O'Malley.

567
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:19.360
He's Trey Trenholm. Today is Thursday, June twenty sixth, twenty

568
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:27.639
twenty five. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays before we

569
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:31.599
jump into today's birthdays. I somehow missed one yesterday that

570
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:38.119
I wanted to celebrate and comment on, turning twenty three yesterday.

571
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:45.480
Actually today's Thursday yesterday. Yeah, okay, Benson Boone yesterday turned

572
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:50.920
twenty three. That little bastard. I say little because don't

573
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.880
think he's actually that little. He's just young. But that

574
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:58.039
is one talented twenty three year old. I am not

575
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:02.880
typically envious of many people. I might be a tad

576
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:08.159
jealous of some. When someone's got just outstanding, remarkable talent,

577
00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:11.199
I'll be a little jealous of that, and Benson Boone

578
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:13.000
is one of them. He's one of my new favorite

579
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:18.719
musical artists of this year because that kid can sing.

580
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:23.800
I believe he's already done a set with Queen and

581
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:26.360
they don't invite just anybody up on stage to sing

582
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:29.039
with them because you're living in a serious shadow there.

583
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:36.159
Yeah yeah, I mean even Adam Lambert was proven himself

584
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:41.199
quite adapted. I mean there's no Freddie Mercury, but uh yeah, Benson.

585
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:43.400
But the amazing the thing that just amazes me with

586
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:50.400
him because when I first heard that song with oh,

587
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:51.880
I can't even think of the name of the song whatever.

588
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.960
His big hit was Beautiful Things, Beautiful Things, I thought

589
00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:00.960
it was Stephen Tyler, And when when you have that

590
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:03.920
kind of range and voice, people don't realize what an

591
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:08.679
amazing vocalist Stephen Tyler was. And so yeah, that man,

592
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:10.039
it's good to be that kid.

593
00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:14.320
God, it's so happy birthday yesterday to him. Benson boone

594
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.519
twenty three, little bastard.

595
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:17.360
All right.

596
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:22.119
Today's birthdays for June twenty six, twenty twenty five include

597
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:26.320
Ariana Grande. Speaking of young people with kick ass voices,

598
00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:32.000
Ariana Grande is thirty two today. It's amazing what a huge,

599
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:36.000
powerful voice can come out of such a tiny package.

600
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:39.360
Yeah. She and Christina Aguilera that like they're so tiny

601
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:40.480
and yet can belt it.

602
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:42.639
And you look at them and go like how is

603
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:48.679
that coming out of that very impressive Aubrey Plaza turns

604
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:51.480
forty one today. She's probably best known as April on

605
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:55.079
Parks and Wreck. She's also in the WandaVision spinoff Agatha

606
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:59.159
All Along. Jason Schwarzman is forty five today. Is Max

607
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:02.800
Fisher and Russian Or. He's also Talia Shier's son, Francis

608
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.440
Ford Coppola's nephew, and Nicholas Cage's cousin. The Coppola family

609
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:14.519
is really really entrenched in Hollywood and turning forty five today.

610
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:18.760
Michael Vick. Michael Vick is forty five today, and that

611
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:21.480
is in case you're curious, three hundred and eight in

612
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:26.280
Tortured Dog Gears, someone did the math. I remember being

613
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:29.000
on one oh five three the Fan when Michael Vick

614
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:33.320
got out of prison and the inevitable conversation came up

615
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.199
about whether or not the Cowboys should sign Michael Vick,

616
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:39.880
and I remember saying at the time like, no, absolutely not,

617
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:43.440
I've not forgiven him, and phone lines lit up. Ah, yeah, yeah,

618
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:45.440
pay this price, society blah blah bah bah blahs it.

619
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:48.800
I don't give a damn. I don't care about what

620
00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:50.840
you pay your price to society. You do what he

621
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:55.920
did to that many animals. I will never forget, and

622
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:01.440
I will never forgive. It's that simple. And that is

623
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:04.360
absolutely the reason why I do not watch Fox's pre

624
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.719
pregame because he's on it. I will not support, in

625
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.960
any form or fashion anything his fed up fingers touch.

626
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:15.559
I don't care if he truly has, you know, turned

627
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:18.039
over a leaf. I just I can't do it. If

628
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:19.239
you had it in you to do it in the

629
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.079
first place, I can't see how you can turn that

630
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:25.519
around and understand the wrongs that you committed.

631
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:31.480
I'd love to throw a counterpoint at you, but I

632
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.440
get I know you can't. I ain't got one.

633
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:36.920
No, I know you're right here with me. You know

634
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:39.760
what the least safe space in the world is for

635
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:43.119
Michael Vick, it's right here inside this treehouse. Yeah, that's

636
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:45.599
I mean, Oh, come knocking on our door, because we'll

637
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:46.320
drag you in.

638
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:53.360
I I understood the argument that, you know, there was

639
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:55.880
a cultural aspect to it. People don't look at all

640
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:58.280
dogs the same and everything else, and and and it's

641
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.280
all until you hear a dog and per cry from

642
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:04.840
you know, the pain. Then when you can hear that

643
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:07.400
and continue to do it. There is something fundamentally wrong

644
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:12.199
with you. And you know I I don't think the

645
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.360
world would would be worse off if you took people

646
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:17.760
that abused animals and kids and just put them down.

647
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:20.840
I'm good with that.

648
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:26.280
Yeah, And on that note, I feel good. How about you?

649
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:31.199
Happy birthday, Vick. You want to come in here and celebrate.

650

00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:33.920
been rolled out in Austin and they've been using quote

664
00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:39.440
unquote select guests getting some introductory rides, and in one

665
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:43.039
of those rides, it went so well that it let

666
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:45.639
its special guests off in the middle of an intersection

667
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:54.079
at Austin. You surprised, I'm not surprised.

668
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:57.960
I'm not surprised. I actually they had I don't think

669
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:06.039
they're Tesla, but they had the robotaxes in Vegas.

670
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.079
And they're.

671
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:14.079
Kind of creepy. Uh they're kind of creepy looking, and uh,

672
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:19.239
I can't they just and evidently they said they haven't

673
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:21.400
had many. Biggest problem is like one of them like

674
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:26.079
stalled out right in the middle of an intersection. But yeah,

675
00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:30.199
they look like they look like a capsule.

676
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:35.280
Really, yeah, like a capsule.

677
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:37.679
Kind of you know, they're they're they're more oval shaped

678
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:40.800
than uh, I mean, they're there, they're they're round, like

679
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:42.880
they have rounded edges, not like a car where you know,

680
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.719
it's kind of more rectangular, and uh yeah, it's just

681
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:49.079
it's kind of creepy to look over and there's just

682
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.719
something driving down the road with no one driving. Weird.

683
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.800
Yeah, the ones in Austin, the Tesla rope bug taxis

684
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.320
are actually Tesla's. They look like text Tesla's they have

685
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:01.039
that round ship but they just you know, they look

686
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:03.639
like they look like a Tesla and it says Robotaxi

687
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:07.159
and some graffiti style riding on the side. But in

688
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:11.519
some of these introductory rides. Tesla's robo taxi services been

689
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:14.960
introduced in Austin, and they had one test ride ended

690
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:17.920
up dropping off its guests in the middle of an intersection,

691
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:22.199
blocking traffic in all directions for about forty five seconds.

692
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:26.360
They're lucky that happened in Austin because that wouldn't have

693
00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:30.320
blocked traffic in Houston, and it wouldn't have blocked traffic

694
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:36.840
in Dallas or Grapevine or Katie or Conroe. You just

695
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:38.960
would have had a bunch of flat people stepping out

696
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:42.760
of a Tesla. In Austin, they actually kind of pay

697
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:45.199
attention to the pedestrians.

698
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:49.840
Yeah, that's but well that or someone would have just

699
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:51.360
come behind it and just pushed it out of the

700
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:53.800
way with their vehicle and just.

701
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:54.480
The cattle guard.

702
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:58.920
Yeah, but you know, it's I hate the thought of

703
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:06.639
automated driving. But then at the same time, every time

704
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:12.800
I am in traffic and it's because people can't merge,

705
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:16.079
I'm like, all right, fine, just let it. Let it happen.

706
00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:20.199
It's funny you mentioned that, because as soon as autonomous

707
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:25.360
driving perfects itself, I'm going to be all for it.

708
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:28.360
That is one area where I feel like, as humans

709
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:31.800
we have not mastered it. We have not done well

710
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:34.840
with it overall, at least not well enough to where

711
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:39.159
I feel that humans should be able to be driving

712
00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:41.800
more so than the robots. I kind of have a

713
00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:44.119
feeling robots will end up doing it better. It may

714
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:47.960
not be perfect in the early stages, but eventually I

715
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.000
think they'll get a better handle on it than we

716
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:54.000
do as people driving. And You're right. Once once the

717
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:57.760
robots figure out merging, it's game over for human driving,

718
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.519
and I'm okay with that because we assume and suck

719
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:00.840
at it.

720
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:06.559
That or.

721
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:12.519
If they just went back to manual transmissions, cause you

722
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.000
can't text and drive. You can't, you have to You

723
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:15.719
cannot do that.

724
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.159
No, No, you cannot. And I want nothing to do

725
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:22.719
with manual transmission ever, again.

726
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:24.639
Why it sucks.

727
00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:27.559
I knew I didn't want to have anything to do

728
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:31.159
with manual transmission when my mom's eighty six Honda, when

729
00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:34.920
we were driving from Plano to Fort Worth in an

730
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:39.159
eighty six Honda as she's shifting the entire hour and

731
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:39.920
a half drive.

732
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:43.440
Yeah, it would take gen Z off the road.

733
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:56.039
Keep talking, tell me more. For all things Treehouse, go
