You Can't S#!t On The Lido Deck | Tuesday 03.17.26

0:00 Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air. It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley along with Trey Trnholm. Coming up on today's show. There is a cruise ship crisis. Also, are we as men overly confident? And we are going to start with a truly bananas dwi Yes, I went there. In Plano, Texas, a driver was arrested for driving while intoxicated after colliding with a truck that spilled a whole bunch of bananas on the highway seventy five. Imagine being so drunk that you think you're playing Mario Kart.

1:06 What time did because if it was late at night, it does not surprise me. Seventy five is frightening after midnight and especially after two am. You are correct on both fronts, my friend. Because I nearly moved up north. This is went back when I was still working in bars and I literally I was like, and the toll way isn't much better, And it takes a lot to say it scares me. I tested it out one night. I'm like, I'll get there's no way. I'm doing this every night, I'll get killed, because I mean it's mind boggling the speeds people go, you know, and racing each other and all sorts of dumb shit that I probably would have done thirty years ago.

1:57 But now I'm I'll pass. Yeah, now you're older and no better like they had. The Grand Prix of Arlington was on Sunday, But the Grand Prix of Plano, Frisco Richardson Dallas prosper happens all the time, up and down seventy five, up and down the toll way. Holy god, the toll way. That's a grand Prix right there. That's the Autobahnay. The toll way to me is the North Texas Autobon. Officers responded to an overturned eighteen wheeler carrying a load of bananas around two point fifty am in the northbound lanes of seventy five near the Legacy exit. That's according to the Plano Police Department. First Responders found that a vehicle allegedly changed lanes in front of a semi truck, causing the driver to overcorrect and leave the highway. That's a subtle way of saying flew off the highway. What happened, he left the highway. It's a little more dramatic than that, but whatever.

3:04 The truck then hit a poll and overturned. The driver of the vehicle was arrested for driving while intoxicated. Northbound service or to seventy five from Spring Creek. The Legacy and the Legacy Exxit rent were closed for many hours overnight and officials worked to clear the crash and the trucks load of bananas from the roadway. So the guy that collided with the banana truck didn't know it was carrying bananas. But just imagine you're a few minutes behind that guy taking your way along on seventy five, and you too, probably have had a few, and you see a bunch of nanas in the road. Man, I think it gets time for side streets. Yeah yeah, or I'm gonna start looking for a block with a star in it.

3:52 I've that would be a uh eye opening experience, especially if you've had a couple of one. Oh no, it's also pretty humbling for me because in that type of scenario, I'm the one that's driving. But if that happened and we came across a bunch of bananas in the road that actually does, in fact look like a real life Mario Kart. I'm pulling over and telling Tara it's your show now, baby, because she whips my ass every single time in Mario Kart. Every time I like when you do like the little circuit, I might win one might, and I think that's just because she's tired from kicking my ass. So yeah, if I if I drive, if I'm on a road and I see bananas out of nowhere, I'm pulling over in Tara's driving, I feel confident we'll be we'll be better off. It definitely does bring more truth to the parental statement of nothing good happens after you know a certain time.

4:59 Oh it's the is it nothing good? Especially you say nothing good happens after two am? Absolutely correct, it's. I mean, you look at some of the after hours play the adult establishments that you know they now have to close at two am, and I it's ecstasy over there on thirty five. I forgot what the statistic was, but they are like crimes down, you know, eighty five percent or something like that since they had to close at two am. Q the Nicholas Cage meme, you don't say yeah, it's amazing how that works out. It's interesting also because the older I get, like, like you said, was it after two am? Yes? Was it on one of the major highways in Dallas. Yes? Okay, Well there you go. The older I get, the more I understand while why people older than us do the things they do, because I'm on that path, I know it. We used to think being up at two point fifty in the morning no big deal. That is no big deal when you know, in your early twenties or whatever, and you might even have a freak night in your late twenties or something like that may happen, But once you roll into your thirties, you're really not out that late. Typically. Then when you

6:30 get into your forties, it drops drastically. Then it like drops to like ten pm, maybe nine pm, where you're like, man, I am not gonna be out in this craziness after the sun goes down, because I know only bad stuff's gonna happen. I am now forty six years old. It is weird for me to be out past ten PM. It's weird for me to be out past nine. So when I think about all those old people at Loubi's having dinner at four thirty in the afternoon. I realized that's. Gonna be me. And I judged very harshly when I saw them when I was in my twenties, like old people so dumb.

7:14 And now that I'm older and on the brink of becoming old, I get I absolutely get it. I don't know if I would go that far, but I do fully understand the as you get older, you would rather, you know, be up at five am versus going to bed at five am. It's a weird shift, man, It's a really, really, really weird shift. Yeah, I said, as someone who who you know, worked bars to almost a year ago and was four nights a week. At least, it.

7:55 Wasn't getting home until three am, and it's exhausting. Yeah, that used to not think anything about it, and then. Yeah, you're like, damn, it whips you. There's there's there's some intersection that we reach in our lifetime where we'd rather be up at five am than for how to phrase this, we'd rather be waking up at five am than going to bed at five am. It's that And then I guess it's different for everybody, but that's that's where it's I'm getting to that point. I'm not quite there yet. I do know that I don't want to still be up at five am, but I also don't want to be up at five am if I don't have to. But I feel the shift occurring. It's coming.

8:43 I'm in. I'm in like that transitional phase of it. Are you full on five am? Yet? I'm not five am? I am six six thirty am. That's not bad, that's not bad. I've actually been really trying to figure out, you know, if I have a natural rhythm, and I think that's going to sleep around midnight. Up at six six thirty seems to be the sweet spot. Speaking of sweet spots, you remember the story last week we told you about the North Texas angler who got caught cheating out of bass tournament and because the prize money is over ten thousand dollars, it hit him with a third degree felony. That may have been the dumbest story we did last week. Well, I think I just found that guy's cellmate. Oh, because there's.

9:39 A man. Going to jail for felonious karaoke. Oh. Last week, felony is fishing. This week Felonius karaoke twenty twenty six is pretty unhinged? Is is this a Bubba shot the jeepbox type story? The man who engaged in some gunplay after suffering from a severe case of karaoke rage has pleaded guilty to a pair of felonies, appearing before a Florida judge r O.

10:20 Pal Aaron Jablonski cops to aggravated assault and gun charges in connection with an incident last year outside of a sports bar in clear Water. I believe we have now put a bow on this story because we talked about mister Jablonski last year when he got arrested for his karaoke rage. Now we're talking about the case's conclusion with him saying, yeah it was me, Yeah I did it. I am guilty of a pair of felonies. He'd been free on forty thousand dollars bond. He's taken into custody Tuesday after entering his guilty police. He's scheduled to be sentenced on March thirty. First, he was arrested following a two thirty in the morning there's that dangerous time again.

11:02 A two thirty in the morning disturbance outside the Overtime sports bar. Police reported that he became incensed upon learning that the bar's karaoke machine was broken. Upset about the music, he tried to get mister Jablonski to calm down the heat, being James Emery, one of the attendees at karaoke, but that didn't work because Jablonski pulled the nine millimeter glock from his waistband and pointed at him, saying, I don't effing care. That'll get you some time in prison. So just imagine, just imagine one cell somewhere to federal prison. Of course, system might be state whatever. Imagine a selling a prison. You got the most unimpressive pair of criminals maybe ever. The guy that got arrested for cheating at a fishing tournament and a guy who pulled the gun at karaoke. Do they even make it the end of their sentences? And if so, do we know why? I mean, I mean, that's like instant bitch in prison, right.

12:11 Oh? I I the karaoke guy, I mean I. Think he's gonna do He's gonna do some singing. Oh yeah, I think it's raining. Men will be his uh, his banger. The problem is it's not just men. Uh huh. Yeah. If you put them together, the felonious fisherman and the felonious karaoke guy. If you put them together, would they make a prison version of a billy bass? I mean, I'll have a big mouth and sings.

12:58 Let's say what I yeah, I mean, I guess, so, I mean I guess just to feel like yeah, different ends. You don't typically see fish on a rotisseri, but it's prison. Anything goes.

I'm Dan, He's Trey, which, by the way, last week, I think James on our Patreon spotted this. Last week when we were doing coming back from a break. I think I said I'm Trey and he's Dan. And the reason why I remember that is because I think I almost did it just now. But the weird thing is this, if I did that last week, none of us noticed. You didn't notice. I did notice, Jerry didn't notice, and as far as I can tell, James on our Treehouse plus was the only one that noticed it. Guess it just goes to show how much people pay attention to what I have to say. All right, so what I have to say here here, I have seven statistics that the

16:17 majority of US men believe. So let's see if we fall in line with the majority of our brothers. Trey, Okay, we've talked about this one before, but this is in a new situation. We've talked about this one before. Nearly half of men believe we could land a plane. A UGOV survey found that forty six percent of men believe they could land a commercial jet in an emergency with guidance from air traffic control. Aviation experts say landing is one of the most technically difficult parts of flying, making our confidence surprising. I say, yeah, you think you could land a plane?

16:58 Yes, everything that it says there like you get you get you, you get guidance from air traffic control, Like all the other movies we've seen where it's a passenger, all the pilots are dead and a passenger has to land the plane and they don't know how, or they've only practiced on a on a on a you know, a single engine cessen the kind of thing, but they find a way. I mean with technology, with being able to be coached by air traffic control and other pilots to autopilot, and the technology and the cockpit. Now I think we could do it. The only way you could do it is if it only involved you turning some knobs, setting it to autopilot, and the autopilot can land.

17:46 That should count. Not that does not count. I mean it. You know, the men they surveyed are not thinking that. They're thinking they could actually, you know, grab the stick and control the thrust and land the plane. No, there's not a yet freaking chance. It's because all of us have grown up playing video games and we feel like our joystake game is on point. We feel like we could take the controls of a jet and land it no problem. Yeah. No, many men believe they could survive in the wilderness. Surveys on survival confidence show more than half of men believe they could survive alone in the wilderness for several days. To us, several means seven. I don't know if that's how the other men in this survey felt. Researchers say men consistently rate their outdoor survival abilities higher than average in self assessment studies. Look, I feel like in an emergency, with help, I could land a commercial jet. I do not think I could survive several days in the wilderness three four days? Yes, a week play us, I don't think so. It also depends on the location location.

19:06 What do I have on me? You know? Do I have at least a knife? And I mean if you just if the goal is just staying alive? And yeah, also, are we talking about a couple of days? Yeah, I could probably stay alive for a couple of days, but after that, No, I am not that adept at camper and outdoorsman anything. Do I think I could probably if I had a good enough knife, do something where I could, you know, get a little bit of shelter. But no, I mean if you had some way to start a fire, I feel like that would be key. But do I know how to you know, rub two sticks together and really get a spark.

19:56 No, It's been a while since I've referred to my manual. Yeah, so if I could start a fire if I had a knife, maybe a couple days, but. Ultimately something bad's gonna happen. What if you were dropped into the wilderness bear grills style? So, in other words, you do you think you could survive the wilderness by raw dog in it? You're going it's just the clothes on your back, no knife, no nothing. No bill Bear girls have special Forces training like they It's not like he just started doing that. No, absolutely not.

20:38 While keeping in mind they did all the shooting and then they still went to the resort afterwards, right at the end of the day. That was a TV show. But you're right, if he had to do it, he could because he does know all those things. Many men believe they are above average drivers. Shocker driving studies show about fifty eight percent of men believe we are better than the average driver. I think I am yeah. I mean, considering half the population's women, that's really not that hard. Wow, all of a sudden, I'm really really wishing that the contact email on this show wasn't mine. That's at Trey Trendholme on social media.

21:28 I'm Dan, He's Trey. You knew you shut the up, dude. You know I'm gonna cut this short because I feel the need to go hide you. This online are on their dung. Do you feel restless and anxious?

One of the new things we're doing on our Patreon is tree House Reviews. That's where we pick a film from years ago that we haven't seen in a long time to see if it still holds up. Our very first was Revenge of the Nerds.

23:19 Did that? Next up, we may actually do a live viewing of The Last Dragon so on Patreon. I think we found a way where we can all watch it together. And part of the reason we want to do that is because our dear Jerry Caldwell has never ever seen The Last Dragon, and I don't know if I've ever experienced watching another grown human watch that movie for the first time, and so I'm very excited at the possibility of doing that because I'll have one eye on the movie and the other eye on Jerry to see his reactions to it. Because if you if you have never seen The Last Dragon, it is, Oh, it is a treat.

24:10 Oh and I want to watch Jerry eat that treat. That's kind of our chance to do like a Mystery Science theater three thousand type thing. Oh yeah, so patreon dot com slash Treehouse on air, speaking of which we need to figure out. And we'd like your input on this because we're gonna need it when we should do that live watch of the Last Dragon. So let us know. Back to the seven statistics that most of us men believe we can do. In other words, seven examples of us being overly confident. Many men believe that they can fix most household problems.

24:58 I'm fairly handy. Uh, most is a big term. That's dangerous. Yeah, I mean basic plumbing, not not too bad. Electrical Nope. I try to avoid water and electrical where I where I should. I if I can get to a fuse box, turn something off and know that I'm not gonna zap myself. Okay, Like you know, I can replace an outlet. I can do stuff like that. Do not mess with natural gas anything with natural gas. And yeah, plumbing, I mean I can fix a running toilet and a lot of times, a leaky you know this or that, but anything major, noah, I I I'd rather pay someone to make sure it's done right then do something stupid and cause more problems.

25:54 Home improvement surveys show around sixty five percent of men believe they can handle most household repairs themselves. Researchers say this confidence is strongly linked to cultural expectations around do it your self skills. This is still really really broad as far as what most is and what are considered household problems, because that's that's all kind of shifting. It's it's different for everyone. Like what you see as a fixable problem might be out of my realm of expertise, or say like Daniel Cook from cook DFW Roofing and Restoration, his idea of a DIY is my sell the house and move. Oh, no doubt.

26:43 I mean the only thing that lends some credibility to that one is in in today's world, there's very few things you can't You can't go on YouTube and find find a video of how to. Yeah, and you know, you know, if you have a basic skill set, yeah, you could do a lot. It's just I said, for me personally, always have to look at what happens if I screw this up? Exactly, if you screw it up, do you know how to stop it from getting worse? Because if you don't, then you shouldn't be doing it. That's the reason why typically with plumbing stuff, I'm real, real antsy about that, because the only way I'll do something is if by knowing.

27:33 It's like, hey, where's my water shut off? In case something really bad happens, I have to go turn this thing off and call somebody. Many men believe that they would handle what is it. Many men believe they would handle emergencies well. Research on risk perception shows more than half of men believe they would respond effectively in a physical emergency. Studies also show men tend to rate their responsibilities higher in crisis situation. You good in a crisis. In general? Yeah? Yeah. Many men believe they would take charge in a crisis. Would you be the leader.

28:17 If I needed to be? I mean again, a lot of it depends on what are the circumstances. If it's something I had some knowledge of what to do and how to do it. Sure, Studies on confidence show roughly fifty five percent of men believe they would remain calm and lead during a crisis. Psychologists say men often report higher confidence in leadership under pressure. So there's a weird game I play when I'm on a plane, like whenever we fly somewhere, I look around and think, Okay, if the worst thing happened, this plane goes down and most of us survive, who do I think are going to be the reliable people who might be problems? And who do I think might be leader types.

29:04 It's just a weird game I play. And I also look around to see what shoes people are wearing. It's also the reason why I don't wear flip flops on planes, just in case, Just in case, I want some clothes, towed. Shoes, solid, rational rationale. The sad part of that equation is I also do the same thing when I go to the movies now, because I can't trust being in a movie theater without someone coming in and shooting up the place. So I don't typically wear flip flops in places like that anymore. I don't I don't worry about so much shooting up the place. I look for the nearest exit just in case something stupid goes down. I mean, you know, probably one of the biggest things. And I guess this probably comes with age. On this scenario is do I want to try to herd cats or do I want to just save myself and get out.

30:06 Well, I'll tell you this, Hurting cats and flip flops ain't gonna happen. You're gonna want some. Shoes because, in my mind, especially in today's world, if there's some sort of crisis, half the people are gonna be sitting there with their phones trying to film stuff. That's true, you'll have the paparazzi trying to record everything. Yeah, last one and then the cruise ship crisis. Speaking of crises, some men believe they could beat a chimpanzee in a fight. No, you're not. Yeah, look guys, I will have your back and a lot of stuff. This is one I cannot and will not and do not support. If you somehow end up in a fight against a chimpanzee, you are going to die and it's going to be ugly.

31:01 Yes, like I if you've never if you've never touched a chimpanzee and felt them, maybe I understand that. But if you have and you know that, they're literally just nothing but muscle and they can rip you limb from limb, literally, no, no, where do you? Where do you go to feel? Chimpanzees? Trey? I we have talked about this before that when I was a kid, I had there were chimpanzees Lulu and Deeler that my dad was friends with their owner trainer, and they would come to my birthday party. Now I can get you a picture if you want.

31:45 I would love to see that photo. Okay, one moment. Oh, we have it like right now. Oh, this is gonna be good. Well, he's collecting that survey data on animal combat confidence. Jesus, I can't believe that's a thing shows a number of men believe they could defeat a chimpanzee unarmed. Experts note chimpanzees are several times stronger than humans pound for pound, making that belief unrealistic. Oh my god, that's little tray with a monkey. I don't know what I love more the smile on that monkey's face or the socks you're wearing, or maybe it's just the whole package.

32:26 Please God, take a photo of that and send it to me. Okay, No, seriously, we can't risk any sort of a fire in your apartment and that thing goes up in flames. That thing needs to live forever. I will scan it. Thank you. Terror looked over, so she's like, let me see that. So what I was telling, what I was saying as you were gone. Survey data on animal combat confidence shows a number of men believe they could defeat a chimpanzee unarmed, and experts note that chimpanzees are several times stronger than we are, and that's very unrealistic to think that. I always always remember the story from years and years ago.

33:15 There was a woman she was having some interaction with a chimpanzee. I don't know if it was at a zoo or whatever, a birthday party that you know, like you had. Whatever, the scenario is, there's a woman in a chimpanzee. The chimpanzee went crazy and or she did something I don't know, and the chimpanzee ripped off her face. Yeah, just snatched it, just with a fingertips, just snatched her face off her head. I thought there was biting involved, but yeah, that's. There might have been that too, but I mean it just face gone. Yeah I think that happened in Ohio, but yeah, that's no. You are not going to defeat a chimpanzee. They will absolutely tear you limb from limb if they do not, and they're force is unbelievable. So yo, pick how you want to die? Yeah, getting you one with your own arm, Yeah, I think. I think that's the one that I think the monkey would do. It's gonna rip your arm off and then beat you with it till you're dead. So no, I don't think you're going to beat up a chimpanzee, dudes.

34:20 I maybe a macock like some of the smaller monkeys, maybe have a chance. Sure you think you'd win a battle with a maccock. Well, I've got practice, all right. And finally today inside the treehouse, the cruise ship crisis that is happening. Oh hang on, I lost it. More than one hundred and fifty people on board Princess Cruises ship became ill with NARA virus during a Caribbean voyage this week. That's according to the CDC. The outbreak occurred aboard the Star Princess during a voyage from March seven to March fourteenth. That's according to the CDC's Vessel Sanitation program.

35:15 Didn't know that was a thing, now, I know that that program monitors illness on cruise ships. On this cruise ship, those reported sick included one hundred four passengers, forty nine crew members out of the forty out of the forty three hundred passengers, and fifteen hundred crew members in total. According to the CDC, the most commonly reported symptoms of norovirus diarrhea and vomiting, or as we call it here in the Treehouse, sphinxing because you're doing both at the same time. The best thing you can do is get in a tub and just let it happen. In response to the outbreak, Princess Cruises increased cleaning and disinfection procedures, isolated sick passengers and crew members, and collected stool samples from sick individuals. That's the part of the story I hadn't heard before. I've heard of neurovirus on cruise ships a lot. It usually happens a few times a year.

36:12 I didn't know, though, that someone has to go around and collect some of those samples for testing, which can't be fun because diarrhea. I You could have also titled this story the number one reason why Trey doesn't want to go on a cruise. This fear right here because I think about the crap that happened, you know, at the beginning of COVID and all the other times you hear about these stories where these cruise ships get you know, this virus that just runs through the ship and it's just you know, people having gastro intestinal issues and no, uh. Huh, and it's and it's in it's in small spaces, it's in tight quarters because like in reality, your quarters were your standing. Your room on cruise ships is small.

37:04 And the whole idea is it's not that big of a deal having a small room because you're gonna be doing so much stuff. You're only gonna be in your room just to sleep and like clean up, and then you're back out doing activities. You're eating, you're gambling, you're at the pool, you're watching a movie, you're doing the water whatever, all the all the cruise ship activities. Now, imagine when you book a cruise, imagine you get sick with noravirus and now you have to stay in that room. So keep that in mind when you book your next cruise, because they're not going to let you out that that is your personal cell the rest of the time, and someone's gonna come in looking like it's one of the bad guys at the end of et and they're gonna be, you know, picking up stool samples from you.

37:49 You can do a lot on a cruise ship. You just can't shit on the lido deck. And let that be known. That's the reason why we don't do cruises. We want to do it anywhere we want. The Lido deck is where we go to get crazy for all things Treehouse Treehouse on air, dot com, from your favorite listening platform, hit that share button, send it to a friend today. We appreciate it, and together let's grow the Treehouse show. We will see you next time right here inside the Treehouse where anything goes on the Lido deck.
