00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.679
It is time to believe your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:27.199
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
3
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:34.679
Trey Trenholm, Raj Sharma and Jerry Well. Today is frad Day,
4
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.759
May third, two five. Welcome to the end of your
5
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.920
week right here inside the treehouse. Whether you've got a
6
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.039
good week or a bad week, it's about to get
7
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.399
just a little bit better because you're hanging out with us.
8
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:50.359
And we appreciate it.
9
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.159
Fifty six percent of people say it's totally cool to
10
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.120
use a coupon on a first date. Somebody queue up,
11
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.519
Admiral Akbar because I smell a trap. Fifty six percent
12
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.640
of people say it's totally fine to use a coupon
13
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:16.239
on a first date.
14
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.319
Man, in this economy, whatever you got to do.
15
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.640
Does anybody believe that?
16
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:23.040
Not a bit?
17
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.959
Would anyone do that? Not at all. My dad, my
18
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.760
dad would have done that. My dad was the guy
19
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.040
that used his Senior Citizens discount of Taco bell and
20
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:36.040
I can't make that up.
21
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:38.159
You can do that.
22
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:43.760
Yes, you get either twenty percent off your bill or
23
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:45.359
a free small soda.
24
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.879
Oh, I know what Tray's doing for dinner.
25
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.799
My only way I believe that is if out of
26
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.400
one hundred people, fifty six were men.
27
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.680
Let's dig deeper and find out in a survey, fifty
28
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.840
six percent of people say it's totally acceptable to use
29
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.599
a coupon on a first date. They surveyed all ages,
30
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.240
and in fact, sixty one percent of the people they
31
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.319
surveyed said that frugality is an attractive trait in a partner,
32
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.560
Twenty eight percent went as far as to call it sexy,
33
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.919
and fifty six percent say they've been turned off by
34
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:32.560
a date trying to show off with money. So it
35
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.240
is interesting that they surveyed all ages of people and
36
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.240
found fifty six percent of them say it's fined us
37
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:40.879
a coupon on.
38
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.520
A first day. Where was this survey done Because it
39
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:44.960
was not done in Dallas.
40
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.759
No, Dallas, it was done in New Delhi, India. That's
41
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.439
what was done. And you can see from the results
42
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:53.360
everybody agrees.
43
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.639
I mean, you know, if they did the survey at Applebee's,
44
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.039
no offense, Applebee's, Yeah, okay, maybe I I but you
45
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.639
know it's I can't even think of if I've ever
46
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.240
been on a date somewhere, especially a first date, where
47
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.479
a coupon was a possibility there's also that.
48
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.159
Well, I guess you're not going to Arby's, are you?
49
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.520
Five dollars beef? Was it five for five?
50
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:20.800
You know?
51
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:21.479
I know?
52
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.960
Yeah, I remember the five for five, two for her,
53
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:24.479
three for you.
54
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.479
That's that's why I weigh two hundred and thirty five pounds.
55
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.919
When I left the University of Texas, it was Arby's
56
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:34.719
five for five beef and cheddars.
57
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.680
I still remember the summer of ninety four, I.
58
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.080
Think it actually was was it wasn't ninety I remember
59
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.879
my first five for five Arby's. It was right after
60
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.080
I think I think it was the last day of
61
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:55.400
school eighth grade for me in Plano at Wilson Middle School.
62
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.039
Last day eighth grade, leaving campus after school went out
63
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.080
and went down the street to Custard and fifteenth to
64
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.360
the Arby's that was there, And it was me and
65
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.280
a few friends and we all just went crazy.
66
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.759
Five for five that included beef and cheddars and the
67
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.360
ham and Swiss, which I so of. Me and one
68
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.639
of my tiny brothers would go like at least twice
69
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.279
a week we'd get the five for five. He'd get
70
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.079
three roast beef and cheddar. I'd get the ham and cheddar.
71
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.920
That was that was my jam. So here's what I'm
72
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:24.319
hearing now.
73
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.920
I was only do we need to normalize coupons on
74
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.439
first dates? But first dates at Arby's?
75
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.839
Yes, Rose, were you getting the ham and cheddar because
76
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.240
at that time you were being more strict to the
77
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:36.399
Hindu principles.
78
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.519
No, I was eating beef. I just didn't like. I don't.
79
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.439
I'm not a big roast beef guy. Okay, So I
80
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.319
just didn't didn't care for it. But they had the
81
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.000
ham and Swiss and I could switch it with the
82
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.439
to the cheese sauce, the cheddar cheese sauce, and it
83
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.120
was delightful. And now they're getting sneaky with it. Right,
84
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.399
they're putting digital coupons so you can you can use
85
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.079
a coupon on the sly if you wanted to, Oh yeah,
86
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.040
through the app, so they won't even have to know,
87
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.160
Like when the bill comes, it's already taken off.
88
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.759
Right, if you're taking your date to Arby's. I think
89
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:07.319
they're gonna know.
90
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.120
If you're taking your first date to Arby's, you marry
91
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.399
that woman. She has the lowest expectations in life ever.
92
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:22.439
Speaking of which, Raj does the Hindu religion look down
93
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.839
on more negatively you for eating red meat or white women.
94

over there is mister Jerry called well, happy Friday to everybody.
120
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.360
As if saving money on first dates isn't already good enough,
121
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.160
We're now going to give you some other money saving tips.
122
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.560
What were your family vacations like as a kid. Were
123
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:28.160
they money saving endeavors or was it just balls to
124
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.279
the wall and spend all the cash if you got it.
125
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.240
We would every four years or so we would go
126
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.240
back to India for the summer because that's when you
127
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:44.240
want to go. Yeah, that's where I get the heat tolerance,
128
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.319
because you know, when you're chilling and it's one hundred
129
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.879
and eighteen degrees in the shade, you learn to when
130
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.199
you come back to Texas like it's a scorching one
131
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.680
on one, I'm like, this is this is chili. But
132
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.319
they would bring you. They would do like extravagant things
133
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.839
like we would go like we'd bring all our cousins
134
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.560
gifts and stuff like that, and then we would go
135
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.399
on like two different sight seeing parts of the country.
136
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.040
So we did that, and yeah, there were some like
137
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.839
we well, like I said, we went to Disneyland and
138
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.160
all that stuff and really didn't ride any rides.
139
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.399
You had you had any extravagant summer vacations, Yeah, tray,
140
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.040
what about you.
141
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.759
Did not have a lot of vacations. I can honestly.
142
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:27.000
It took two trips uh in my childhood, both to
143
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.399
uh Colorado.
144
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.600
I guess, I guess you're not counting the dangerous trips
145
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:35.960
to land Country Safari.
146
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.840
No, okay, we're in Colorado. Was it fun? Were you skiing? We?
147
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.519
No, it was in the summer.
148
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:48.759
It was in typically uh winter park and the uh,
149
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.799
the best thing about it was they had it was
150
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.919
called the Alpine Slide. It was like a summer you
151
00:08:55.960 --> 00:09:01.840
could go up the ski slopes, but it was a.
152
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.320
I guess this is like a mini luge kind of thing.
153
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.080
Like you said. It was like on a plastic thing
154
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:07.519
and you just hit go and.
155
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.399
You it was good along like a water ride, but
156
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.120
down down, the mountain and uh, I mean it was fun.
157
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.480
So your family's idea of a summer vacation was to
158
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.039
take you to Colorado and throw you.
159
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:20.919
Down a mountain something like that.
160
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:25.200
Okay, just check Jerry. What about you extravagant or frugal
161
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.360
summer family vacations?
162
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.600
My family took fewer summer vacations than trays.
163
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:37.200
Got it all right? So wow, you we probably not
164
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:42.120
so much, Raj. But Trey, Jerry and myself grew up
165
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.679
with some frugal family vacations, so we probably have some
166
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.559
tips on how you can save some money on your
167
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.759
summer vacation coming up. Before we get to ours, let
168
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.120
me tell you what the experts say. If you're trying
169
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.080
to save money on your summer vacation this year, be
170
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.080
flexible with your dates. If you're locked into traveling on
171
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.000
July fourth weekend, it's going to be a lot more
172
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.120
expensive than if you, you know, went on June twenty eighth.
173
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:07.919
Okay. Also, try to.
174
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.279
Avoid flying on Sundays and Mondays. They see those are
175
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:14.559
expensive days. Number two, don't assume vacation rentals are cheapest.
176
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.480
There was a time where vacation rentals like airbnbs were
177
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.559
usually cheaper than a regular hotel, but that's not always
178
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.000
the case anymore. Check on the hotel rates as well.
179
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.679
Number three, don't stay in a specific city, stay in
180
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.639
the outskirts where it's cheaper. And number four, if you
181
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.440
have them, pay with credit card points, because that can
182
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.480
work in your favor and reduce the cost.
183
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:38.639
For me.
184
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.639
When it came to summer family trips, it was typical
185
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.799
for us to get in the nineteen seventy something Pontiac
186
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.320
station wagon that was green with the wood paneling.
187
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:52.639
Ah, the family truckster.
188
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.360
Yeah, we'd hop in the family truckster and my parents
189
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.000
would be in the front, my sister and I in
190
00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.840
the back with the back seat folded down so it
191
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:02.200
was just one long bed in the back of that
192
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.600
station wagon. And we had a cooler full of snacks
193
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:10.039
and drinks. And we drove to great Grandma's house.
194
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.840
Yay, And this is in Pittsburgh, Texas or something like that.
195
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.919
We would drive from Bartlesville, Oklahoma to sunny Pittsburgh, Texas
196
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.000
to see my racist great grandmother Glick.
197
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.840
Now that sounds like a vacation I would have loved.
198
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.600
It's also when I became That's also when I formed
199
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:39.360
my theory on vacation versus trip. Okay, yes, there's a
200
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.360
difference between a family trip and a family vacation, and
201
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:48.480
a trip is typically where you're going to see family
202
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.360
and all that kind of stuff. A vacation is when
203
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.759
you get an escape from everybody and everything and you
204
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.759
actually get a chance to relax. Family vacations, to me,
205
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:56.480
aren't even real.
206
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:57.399
To me.
207
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.320
The ultimate money saving tip that I can give you
208
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.320
if you're trying to plan a summer vacation for the
209
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.519
family is don't make it a family vacation.
210
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:10.679
Leave the kids at home. I mean, I think that's
211
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.279
against the law, but depending on how old the kids are.
212
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.000
Depending on how old the kids are, and you know what,
213
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.519
drop them off at Grandma and Grandpa's house, let them
214
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.679
have fun, and then then you go enjoy a real
215
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.480
vacation away from anyone and everything, and you don't have
216
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:24.759
to worry about feeding them.
217
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.480
So using that logic, you would have been okay with
218
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.039
your parents dropping you off at great Grandma Glick's house
219
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.080
for a couple of weeks while they went and bast
220
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.480
in the sun and say the beach of California or
221
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.360
Saint John, where you are Saint Thomas.
222
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.240
I believe they did. And that's also the summer that
223
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:47.759
I got in trouble for throwing rocks at cars. Eat
224
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.200
you to leave me with these people, I will turn
225
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:51.919
into a vandal.
226
00:12:55.960 --> 00:13:00.279
Yeah yeah, but you I mean there's fun family vacations
227
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.759
that you can do. I mean there's certain like Vegas
228
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.440
started like catering to that, Like you got the Circus
229
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.120
Circus where you could leave the kids like the I.
230
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.480
Think Vegas has already has.
231
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.200
Already gone through that stage and decided it was not
232
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.919
for them, and they have now reverted back to it's
233
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.159
more adults only.
234
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.799
Yeah, but that's why rooms at Circus Circus are like
235
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.799
eleven dollars, Like you can that if you want to
236
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.080
be frugal and take a family vacation, like they're twenty
237
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:26.720
nine dollars.
238
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.759
But they imploded Circus Circus.
239
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:33.000
No, you wish they did. That's why I stay there.
240
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:40.039
Welcome to the new open air Circus Circus. I can
241
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.919
understand why why Las Vegas would pivot to trying to
242
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.960
be a family destination to compete for you know, tourism dollars.
243
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:53.080
But I thoroughly believe in pivoting back to focusing on adults,
