Slack-Jawed Earthlings | Friday December 13, 2024 · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:27
Speaker 1: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
0:32
Speaker 1: with us inside the tree house on Friday.
0:38
Speaker 2: December thirteenth, twenty twenty four.
0:41
Speaker 1: I cannot remember the last time I was this excited
0:43
Speaker 1: for Friday the thirteenth, partly because our tree house is full.
0:51
Speaker 1: So you've got me Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm.
0:55
Speaker 1: We also have Raj Sharma and Jerry Caldwell. One more
1:01
Speaker 1: person and our treehouse will run us over. And if
1:11
Speaker 1: there's one thing that our treehouse can certainly get up for,
1:15
Speaker 1: it's a Friday episode. And I like to think our
1:20
Speaker 1: treehouse is strong and hard, unlike the Hawk to a
1:27
Speaker 1: Girl's Mean coin, which is gone limp and did.
1:30
Speaker 2: So in a matter of minutes. Pretty impressive if you
1:33
Speaker 2: think about it.
1:36
Speaker 1: People are actually accusing the Hawk to a Girl Hailey Welch,
1:42
Speaker 1: of a scheme after the launch of her Hawk Mean Coin.
1:50
Speaker 1: I don't even think I had heard the term mean
1:52
Speaker 1: coin until a couple of days ago, but it's apparently
1:57
Speaker 1: a thing, big thing.
2:00
Speaker 3: You've heard like doga coin.
2:05
Speaker 1: Yes, I've yeah, I know, I've heard of bitcoin. I've
2:08
Speaker 1: heard of doge coin and some other things like that,
2:10
Speaker 1: but I had not heard of meme coin before.
2:15
Speaker 2: It's like currency, except it's a bigger joke.
2:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, All I know is that it's under the
2:20
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency umbrella. And according to this article from Vice dot com,
2:26
Speaker 1: meme coins are basically cryptocurrencies inspired by Internet memes, Internet
2:33
Speaker 1: memes or pop culture references and trends, which makes sense
2:39
Speaker 1: if you're Hawktua, because that's how she got famous. She
2:43
Speaker 1: went viral, and part of her extending her fifteen minutes
2:48
Speaker 1: of fame is trying to cash in anywhere and everywhere
2:51
Speaker 1: she can. So she did a number of interviews after
2:55
Speaker 1: the uh the Hoktua moment went viral. She's had some
2:59
Speaker 1: paid appearance is at nightclubs, including one to celebrate her
3:02
Speaker 1: birthday that Shaquille O'Neil was the DJ at It's Very Fun.
3:09
Speaker 3: Has a podcast on Jake Paul's network.
3:13
Speaker 1: Yep, so she's trying her hand at podcasting. Before the
3:18
Speaker 1: launch of her mean coin, though, Halee Welch, the hawktour Girl,
3:22
Speaker 1: said it's not just a cash grab.
3:26
Speaker 3: Yes it is.
3:27
Speaker 1: That's what cryptocurrency is. It's a cash grab anyway.
3:31
Speaker 3: Well she I mean, God bless her, but I am
3:38
Speaker 3: quite sure and I say this. I don't. I would
3:41
Speaker 3: not none of us would be smart enough to do this,
3:44
Speaker 3: but to launch a mean coin and manipulate the market
3:46
Speaker 3: in what they are being accused of. She ain't the
3:49
Speaker 3: mastermind behind that. She just someone said, hey, you want
3:52
Speaker 3: to make a quick ten million dollars here, let us do.
3:55
Speaker 1: This, yep, and then she said okay, yeah. Before its launch,
4:02
Speaker 1: she said it was not just a cash grab. However,
4:05
Speaker 1: quickly after it took off, it crashed with a ninety
4:08
Speaker 1: one percent declined in value. And then that's when investors
4:12
Speaker 1: began accusing the Haktuur girl of taking part.
4:17
Speaker 2: In a pump and dump scheme.
4:22
Speaker 1: You can't make this up is perfect, but look, let's
4:27
Speaker 1: be honest. If you're an investor and you lost a
4:28
Speaker 1: bunch of money, that's on you, because you know, this
4:31
Speaker 1: isn't the first time that the Hoktour Girl has sucked
4:33
Speaker 1: someone dry.
4:36
Speaker 4: Go.
4:40
Speaker 1: According to investors dot Gov, in a pump and dump scheme,
4:45
Speaker 1: fraudster's typically spread false or misleading information to create a
4:48
Speaker 1: buying frenzy that will pump up the price of a
4:51
Speaker 1: stock and then dump shares of it by selling their
4:54
Speaker 1: own shares at the inflated price. Once the fraudsters dump
4:58
Speaker 1: their shares and stop hyping stock, the stock price typically
5:01
Speaker 1: falls and investors lose money.
5:05
Speaker 2: And this Cray help me with this.
5:06
Speaker 1: Isn't that that's sort of like one of the major
5:08
Speaker 1: plot points of the movie Eddie Murphy dan Aykroyd. Trading places, Oh,
5:16
Speaker 1: trading places.
5:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a commodity. But but essentially, yeah, it's this
5:21
Speaker 3: is why in our in like within stock market, an
5:24
Speaker 3: i p O, you're for forbidden from sell. Like if
5:28
Speaker 3: you work for the company and you have stock options,
5:31
Speaker 3: you're forbidden to sell your shares within like six months
5:34
Speaker 3: of an i p O because all of a sudden,
5:36
Speaker 3: you go from your shares are nothing, they're worth a lot,
5:39
Speaker 3: and you could have mass you know, mass selling, and
5:43
Speaker 3: the stock plummets. Yeah. In crypto, it's it's it's largely unregulated.
5:47
Speaker 3: And this isn't even crypto where you have to mine
5:51
Speaker 3: the coins and do all that stuff. It's just it's
5:53
Speaker 3: mean coin. And that's for you know, about probably one
5:58
Speaker 3: in every I I would guess us five hundred mean
6:01
Speaker 3: coins turn out to be worth anything at all.
6:07
Speaker 2: I don't know who it was.
6:09
Speaker 1: There was an investor I saw an article about this
6:12
Speaker 1: he was saying about cryptocurrencies. He's like, don't do it.
6:16
Speaker 1: It's sort of an ethereal thing. It's not a real thing.
6:19
Speaker 1: There was a video I saw the other day from
6:20
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett, and keeping in mind, this is on the internet,
6:23
Speaker 1: so I don't even know if it's real, because I
6:25
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a deep fake Warren Buffet. But
6:28
Speaker 1: according to the video I saw, Warren Buffett is at
6:31
Speaker 1: a conference and he's basically talking saying cryptocurrency. He's like,
6:34
Speaker 1: I'm not putting any money in it because it's not
6:36
Speaker 1: a real thing. I could put money into real estate.
6:38
Speaker 1: That's a real thing. It's a tangible asset. Cryptocurrency is
6:41
Speaker 1: not an asset. And again, that could have been a
6:43
Speaker 1: deep fake video for all I know now at that video,
6:46
Speaker 1: it could have been a room full of black dudes
6:48
Speaker 1: around him.
6:48
Speaker 3: I don't know Warren Buffett. I mean, going back to
6:52
Speaker 3: the dot com boom of the late nineties, he wouldn't
6:55
Speaker 3: invest in Amazon or any of that because he was like,
6:58
Speaker 3: how do you value these internet companies? And he's just
7:01
Speaker 3: very conservative. He then became one of the largest, you know,
7:03
Speaker 3: shareholders of Apple. He's just very conservative. That way, there
7:08
Speaker 3: are some cryptos that are going to eventually be like
7:11
Speaker 3: Bitcoin is going to be around. It's it has enough
7:15
Speaker 3: behind it that it's traded, and as soon as some
7:19
Speaker 3: of them will eventually end up being a method for
7:22
Speaker 3: which you can pay day in and day out.
7:26
Speaker 1: There you can use bitcoin to purchase things, So that
7:31
Speaker 1: that does seem to be some type of currency that
7:34
Speaker 1: is that is going to stick, even though it's not
7:36
Speaker 1: backed by really anything other than uh, desire, I.
7:40
Speaker 3: Mean, neither's at this point. Neither is the dollar.
7:43
Speaker 1: That's true, it's all fake this, but it's kind of
7:46
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like one of my favorite lines
7:48
Speaker 1: in one of the Marvel movies. It was in I
7:49
Speaker 1: think it was in an Infinity War when uh uh
7:54
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt's character star Lord says it's.
7:56
Speaker 2: Like, oh to Thor's like, you just made that up,
7:58
Speaker 2: and he's like, all words are made up. Actually yeah,
8:02
Speaker 2: he's right. Uh, society has made up.
8:05
Speaker 1: Laws are made up, money is made up, currency is
8:07
Speaker 1: made up, and what they're back.
8:09
Speaker 2: But it's all made up.
8:10
Speaker 1: But someone just thought sat around one day and thought
8:12
Speaker 1: it up and said, ah, money and jobs and stuff
8:16
Speaker 1: and cryptocurrency is kind of the same thing, but in
8:19
Speaker 1: order for you to cash in on the cryptocurrency, you
8:22
Speaker 1: have to have someone to buy it. In this case,
8:26
Speaker 1: now you have to wonder about uh uh, you know
8:29
Speaker 1: people as an investor. Of all the possible people in
8:34
Speaker 1: the world that you could or could not invest in,
8:38
Speaker 1: is the girl who who's claim to fame was spitting
8:42
Speaker 1: on that thing the one you want to put your
8:45
Speaker 1: life savings into.
8:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, she said she prefers backshots because she doesn't like
8:50
Speaker 3: eye contact.

11:32
Speaker 1: Trey and Raj and Jerry on a Fridday, and it
11:35
Speaker 1: is the holiday season, and I think it's time that
11:39
Speaker 1: I finally share with you guys my theory. I don't
11:43
Speaker 1: have many theories, but when I do, they're usually pretty stupid.
11:50
Speaker 1: This one, I think is not entirely stupid. It's just
11:53
Speaker 1: kind of silly, but I still think it's true, even
11:56
Speaker 1: though it's not scientifically proven, which means I can only
11:59
Speaker 1: call it a theory, but here it is. My theory
12:03
Speaker 1: is that you can basically take any real life news
12:07
Speaker 1: story and turn it into a Hallmark film so you
12:12
Speaker 1: know how for years, Law and Order would say I
12:14
Speaker 1: think it was Law and Order would say ripped from
12:16
Speaker 1: the headlines. All these stories sound familiar because these are
12:21
Speaker 1: our stories are based on real things that have happened
12:24
Speaker 1: in the real world, Like this bad thing happened in
12:27
Speaker 1: this person. Now we're going to dramatize it for a
12:31
Speaker 1: Law and Order episode. I think you can do the
12:34
Speaker 1: same thing with Hallmark movies. You could take damn near
12:38
Speaker 1: any news story you see and you could use that
12:42
Speaker 1: as a driving point for a Hallmark film.
12:45
Speaker 2: That is my theory. There it is.
12:47
Speaker 1: I've laid it out onto the Treehouse table for you
12:50
Speaker 1: all for the holidays this year. Every time you see
12:53
Speaker 1: a news story, think to yourself, could this be a
12:57
Speaker 1: Hallmark film? And I bet the answer will be yes
13:00
Speaker 1: if you just think it's a little bit.
13:01
Speaker 3: Hard y'all see where Hallmark did a reality show called
13:08
Speaker 3: Finding Mister Christmas.
13:09
Speaker 2: M Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing. Sorry,
13:16
Speaker 2: my light was falling on me.
13:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need the next, you know, their next Hallmark
13:20
Speaker 3: movie star.
13:21
Speaker 1: Yep, sort of like sort of like American Idol, but
13:25
Speaker 1: for Hallmark actors.
13:27
Speaker 3: Yes, But can we test this theory of yours.
13:32
Speaker 7: See.
13:33
Speaker 2: I was just thinking about some of the weird news
13:36
Speaker 2: stories that we've talked about here, being Hallmark Christmas movies.
13:44
Speaker 2: I mean, don't get me wrong, I would probably watch them.
13:47
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, because typically the story is, you know,
13:51
Speaker 1: it's usually it's typically a female has her big city
13:55
Speaker 1: job and then she has to go back to the
13:56
Speaker 1: small town for some reason, and then she meets the
13:59
Speaker 1: down you know, the downtrodden guy, and they kind of
14:02
Speaker 1: save each other whatever, and then they save Christmas in
14:04
Speaker 1: the process.
14:05
Speaker 2: That's the core of it.
14:07
Speaker 1: It's usually girl, big city job and then she's got
14:09
Speaker 1: to get back to back to some type of roots
14:13
Speaker 1: and small town life type of thing. It's very rare
14:16
Speaker 1: that these stories happened in the big cities. Although there
14:18
Speaker 1: was one that happened in the big city. I'm not
14:21
Speaker 1: proud to say I saw a part of that one.
14:22
Speaker 3: But it's true.
14:23
Speaker 2: It's typically small town stuff.
14:25
Speaker 9: Of course you saw part of it.
14:28
Speaker 1: It was years ago and I was high on cold medicine.
14:32
Speaker 1: It was like two in the morning. I woke up,
14:34
Speaker 1: couldn't go to sleep, so I just, instead of tossing
14:37
Speaker 1: and turning, went to the living room tron on the
14:38
Speaker 1: TV and it was a Hallmark Moving on and I
14:41
Speaker 1: watched like an hour of it and I was high
14:43
Speaker 1: on cold medicine.
14:44
Speaker 9: Sure, I was young. I was young and needed the money.
14:52
Speaker 1: That's also a plot point in a Hallmark film.
14:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, you sure didn't know a lot about Hallmark movies.
15:00
Speaker 2: It's really uncanny. Uh, it doesn't take much. You see one,
15:04
Speaker 2: you've seen, you've pretty much seen them all, but you
15:07
Speaker 2: still keep watching.
15:09
Speaker 1: I don't, although I am curious about the one that's
15:13
Speaker 1: uh that the Kansas City Chiefs did that's sort of
15:15
Speaker 1: based on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. But no, my
15:21
Speaker 1: theory is and I think it holds pretty pretty accurate.
15:23
Speaker 1: I think it holds pretty true that you can take
15:25
Speaker 1: just about any news story and it could be a
15:28
Speaker 1: you know, a Hallmark movie, like the the like the
15:34
Speaker 1: Haley Weld story.
15:35
Speaker 2: We just told the Hawk two of thing. Here's the girl.
15:38
Speaker 1: Uh, she starts out in a small town, become super
15:40
Speaker 1: famous for something. Hopefully it's not for the reason she did,
15:43
Speaker 1: because it's a Hallmark movie. But she she becomes really
15:45
Speaker 1: famous and then she loses everything because she did a
15:48
Speaker 1: pump and dump scheme with mean Coin. And then she
15:51
Speaker 1: has to go back to her small town roots and
15:55
Speaker 1: and look at all the people in in the eye
15:57
Speaker 1: that she left behind. And she's got to get back
15:59
Speaker 1: to her roots and then eventually finds uh some new
16:02
Speaker 1: guy to spit on and say Christmas.
16:05
Speaker 9: See.
16:07
Speaker 2: Remember she doesn't like to look people in the eye.
16:09
Speaker 1: It's yeah, well then it'll then then the movie poster
16:13
Speaker 1: will be her turning and looking back.
16:16
Speaker 2: It'll be uh, learn new from Hallmark.
16:23
Speaker 9: Okay, what about like the lady in uh in Thailand
16:27
Speaker 9: or Sri Lanka that fell asleep and was swallowed by
16:31
Speaker 9: a giant python.
16:35
Speaker 2: I want this said.
16:36
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing out this theory because I intentionally want
16:40
Speaker 1: you guys to test it. I'm okay with it, but
16:42
Speaker 1: I just want you to know. I just wanted to
16:44
Speaker 1: share the theory. It's not like I was saying, challenge me.
16:47
Speaker 1: But since you mentioned it, Raj, that one's easy.
16:51
Speaker 2: Uh. It's not about the lady being swallowed by the snake.
16:54
Speaker 1: It's about the widower that's left behind because now he's lonely. Yeah,
16:59
Speaker 1: he's lonely, and he uh it's you know, his wife
17:02
Speaker 1: just got swallowed up by a snake and and that happened,
17:06
Speaker 1: and then he had a horrible It happened right around Christmas,
17:09
Speaker 1: and he hasn't celebrated Christmas since. And then you fast
17:11
Speaker 1: forward to a year later, and then some new woman
17:14
Speaker 1: shows up who has not been swallowed by a snake,
17:16
Speaker 1: and they fall in love and she helps not only
17:18
Speaker 1: save Christmas but also him. You're candily good at this.
17:24
Speaker 1: Are you auditioning for a new job? I'm if if
17:29
Speaker 1: Hallmark wants to hire me as a story developer, I'm
17:31
Speaker 1: all for it.
17:35
Speaker 2: I think I think a lot of people would watch Swallowed.
17:37
Speaker 1: Hole for Christmas, a collaboration with a Hallmark channel and
17:43
Speaker 1: the Sci Fi Network, just.
17:46
Speaker 9: To know if that was the name of the hawk
17:48
Speaker 9: to a girl's movie.
17:52
Speaker 2: For Christmas, not a girl sorry.

Speaker 4: you can want to remodel the bathroom, and that's not pressing,
18:52
Speaker 4: but typically when it comes to service or leak investigations,
18:56
Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. If you've got to stoppage on
18:59
Speaker 4: the main line and you don't know and you keep
19:02
Speaker 4: putting liquid or you know, waste into the drains, if
19:08
Speaker 4: it has nowhere to go, we'll come back in the house.
19:10
Speaker 4: And at that point in time, it's no longer a want,
19:13
Speaker 4: it's a need, and that sort of thing can't wait.
19:17
Speaker 4: When you have those emergencies, you have got to figure
19:20
Speaker 4: out how to manage the crew so that you can
19:23
Speaker 4: have the best response time.
19:24
Speaker 2: That's right, and they'll show up and they'll do it quickly.

20:43
Speaker 1: This is the Treehouse on a frid Day, Dan, Trey,
20:47
Speaker 1: Raj and Jerry and I didn't intend to bring up
20:51
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift in the In the previous segment, we were
20:53
Speaker 1: talking about holiday films and stuff in relation to what
20:57
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about here. It's just kind of
20:58
Speaker 1: a happy accident. But I think it's important that we
21:04
Speaker 1: talk about this just a little bit because there are
21:07
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of really good examples in this
21:10
Speaker 1: world right now of really good people, really good people
21:15
Speaker 1: doing really good things. Most of the stuff we see
21:19
Speaker 1: in here is bad, And in this case, one of
21:23
Speaker 1: the really good people seems to be Taylor Swift.
21:27
Speaker 2: I have learned over the last year.
21:29
Speaker 1: That I'm I've kind of come out of the Swifty
21:32
Speaker 1: closet a little bit.
21:33
Speaker 2: I think she's I think she's a good dude.
21:37
Speaker 1: I like I like a lot of her songs, and
21:39
Speaker 1: what I like better than her songs is the fact
21:43
Speaker 1: that she's actually a decent person as far as we
21:45
Speaker 1: can tell. I don't know if she's got bodies buried somewhere,
21:47
Speaker 1: but until that happens, she seems pretty cool. She just
21:51
Speaker 1: ended her Eras tour, which is a two year long tour,
21:54
Speaker 1: which is already astronomical, and it's brought in over two
22:00
Speaker 1: billion dollars in ticket sales, So two billion dollars gross
22:05
Speaker 1: for Taylor Swift and the Era's Tour, and they put
22:10
Speaker 1: in the work, and she has rewarded all of the
22:14
Speaker 1: people that have worked for her on this tour throughout
22:19
Speaker 1: the tour, I think a year into it she had
22:22
Speaker 1: given them a bunch of bonuses and things like that,
22:25
Speaker 1: as far as all the people that worked on the
22:26
Speaker 1: tour while she's done it again because now that the
22:29
Speaker 1: tour has concluded, someone added up all the receipts and
22:36
Speaker 1: it turns out Taylor Swift gave out one hundred and
22:39
Speaker 1: ninety seven million dollars in bonuses to everyone working on
22:44
Speaker 1: her Era's tour. That includes truck drivers, caterers, dancers, musicians,
22:49
Speaker 1: all of it. And that doesn't include the charitable donations
22:54
Speaker 1: she did in pretty much every city they visited along
22:57
Speaker 1: the way. This is just the bonuses and stuff to
23:00
Speaker 1: the people working for her directly on the tour. But yeah,
23:04
Speaker 1: that includes truck drivers, caterers, instrument technicians, the merch team, lighting,
23:09
Speaker 1: sound production staff, assistants, carpenters, dancers, band security, choreographers, pyrotechnics,
23:16
Speaker 1: hair makeup, wardrobe, physical therapists, and the video team. In
23:22
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, she had given out fifty five million
23:25
Speaker 1: bonuses and then most recently at the end of this tour.
23:30
Speaker 1: They added it all up one hundred and ninety seven
23:32
Speaker 1: million dollars. And I know a lot of people are
23:34
Speaker 1: looking at it, especially here in red state Texas, and
23:37
Speaker 1: she's looked for politics aside. Set the politics aside. By
23:46
Speaker 1: all appearances, this is someone that's a good person who
23:49
Speaker 1: has made a ton of money, made a ton of
23:51
Speaker 1: money on this tour.
23:52
Speaker 2: And what did she do.
23:53
Speaker 1: She gave out bonuses on top of charity. Pays her
23:56
Speaker 1: people pretty well, and she gives out these bonuses everything
24:00
Speaker 1: on top of it. I just think that's kind of
24:01
Speaker 1: a good person, and I think it should be a
24:03
Speaker 1: plauted that's all.
24:03
Speaker 2: That's all I wanted to say.
24:05
Speaker 9: Yeah, she seems Yeah, she seems very.
24:08
Speaker 2: Nice, and and and and again.
24:11
Speaker 1: In a world where a lot of people are bad,
24:13
Speaker 1: say bad things, do bad things, and don't give a
24:17
Speaker 1: damn about anybody else, she's an entire economy saving machine, right.
24:25
Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing. And then on top of that,
24:27
Speaker 1: she's helping the actual people that worked on her tour.
24:30
Speaker 1: I try to think of a lot of wealthy people
24:32
Speaker 1: in the world right now, and I don't see headlines
24:34
Speaker 1: about Elon Musk, you know, shell and out all sorts
24:37
Speaker 1: of money for his employees.
24:39
Speaker 2: Uh.
24:39
Speaker 1: And that can be said for lots of companies.
24:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see a lot of you see, rich people
24:45
Speaker 3: do a lot of charitable giving, but very seldom is
24:48
Speaker 3: it to the you know, Bill Bill Gates has a
24:53
Speaker 3: foundation for.
24:58
Speaker 7: All right.
25:01
Speaker 3: Giving out you know, a bunch of people, you know
25:02
Speaker 3: money to Microsoft. No, a lot of people work for
25:04
Speaker 3: Microsoft made money. But I want to say Taylor Swift
25:08
Speaker 3: gave basically gave most of the merchandise sales to her,
25:12
Speaker 3: all the people that put the tour on. I mean,
25:15
Speaker 3: outstandingly good person.
25:17
Speaker 2: Her personal economy is larger than some countries in the world.
25:20
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
25:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm just kind of like, I'm not frozen or anything.
25:28
Speaker 1: It's it really is kind of an astounding thing for
25:30
Speaker 1: someone to reach a status like that and then still
25:35
Speaker 1: want to actually, you know, help people with Like I said,
25:37
Speaker 1: I think it's great, especially when you think about the
25:40
Speaker 1: number of people when you're rich and successful, no matter
25:44
Speaker 1: how big or how small, if you're successful at all
25:46
Speaker 1: or have any sort of money, your detractors pile up.
25:50
Speaker 1: This is true, ya, Taylor Swift, This is true if
25:52
Speaker 1: you're Elon Musk. Bill Gates like you mentioned Trey or
25:55
Speaker 1: any other number of people. When you have a lot
25:57
Speaker 1: of money, a lot of us pleabs like to you
26:00
Speaker 1: had to spend it. Uh and in this and in
26:04
Speaker 1: this case, you know, it's.
26:05
Speaker 2: Like girl, do whatever you want.
26:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can be doing pretty good with and and
26:09
Speaker 3: that's it's a hard life to put those tours on. Obvious,
26:11
Speaker 3: it's been going on for two years. I think the
26:13
Speaker 3: only other musician I've ever heard of really doing this
26:16
Speaker 3: was Kenny Chesney on his tours. He he uh really
26:20
Speaker 3: took care of the people that put it on. So
26:23
Speaker 3: and and another person you seldom hear anything bad about.
26:26
Speaker 1: The at the end of the tour. So keeping in
26:32
Speaker 1: mind this was again, uh a two year tour. Second
26:36
Speaker 1: place on the highest gracing on the highest grossing tour
26:40
Speaker 1: was Elton John and he didn't even break a billion dollars.
26:44
Speaker 1: It was like nine hundred something million that that that
26:46
Speaker 1: he took in. So like she crushed that record, you know,
26:50
Speaker 1: doubled it. That's incredible.
26:53
Speaker 7: Yeah.
26:53
Speaker 9: Garth Brooks was very similar to that too, like he
26:55
Speaker 9: takes care of his people as well.
26:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.
26:58
Speaker 9: I think the last big tour that they did when
27:00
Speaker 9: they got back from Ireland to whatever. Like he gifted
27:02
Speaker 9: everybody brand new cars to the entire team, So that
27:07
Speaker 9: was kind of he went to and he did it locally,
27:09
Speaker 9: like he went to the in Stillwater or whatever wherever
27:12
Speaker 9: he lives. He went to the actual local dealership and
27:15
Speaker 9: then bought all the cars and then had them had
27:17
Speaker 9: a big party, and then they all drove up at
27:19
Speaker 9: the same time.
27:20
Speaker 1: Which is did he did he cover the like the tax,
27:23
Speaker 1: title and insurance on that, or did he pull an Opra.
27:25
Speaker 2: And said you get a car, you get a car,
27:27
Speaker 2: You get a car.
27:28
Speaker 1: But then stuck them with, you know, all the additional
27:30
Speaker 1: fees and stuff.
27:33
Speaker 3: I think he might have.
27:34
Speaker 9: I think he might have taken care of everything on
27:36
Speaker 9: the way out the door.
27:37
Speaker 1: I would imagine he would have. Of her Eras Tour,
27:41
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, it was after her one hundred and forty
27:44
Speaker 1: ninth and final show, Wow. Ten million, one hundred and
27:50
Speaker 1: sixty eight eight people attended the Eras Tour and it
27:54
Speaker 1: sold two billion, seventy seven million, six hundred and eighteen
28:00
Speaker 1: seven hundred and twenty five.
28:01
Speaker 2: Dollars in total tickets, best selling.
28:04
Speaker 9: So that's not even birch, No.
28:06
Speaker 2: That's just right. That's just door wow. And I'm sorry.
28:09
Speaker 1: And I hate to be one of those people that
28:11
Speaker 1: looks at a famous, rich person and try to tell
28:13
Speaker 1: them what to do with their life and their money.
28:14
Speaker 1: But when I see it that it was her one
28:16
Speaker 1: hundred and forty ninth and final show, I can't help
28:20
Speaker 1: but think it's like, you couldn't do one fifty.
28:25
Speaker 7: But that's me.
28:25
Speaker 1: I'm anal. I want that nice round number. I can't
28:28
Speaker 1: help Like if I was her, it would drive me crazy. Guy,
28:31
Speaker 1: we can't do one hundred and forty nine. We have
28:33
Speaker 1: to do one hundred and fifty. Otherwise it's just gonna
28:34
Speaker 1: it make my skin crawl.
28:37
Speaker 3: Oh OCD Taylor Swift.
28:44
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why she's doing it. She knows that. You
28:46
Speaker 2: know it's gonna make my skin crawl. You couldn't do
28:48
Speaker 2: one fifty.
28:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you'll never forget it either, Like you'll never
28:51
Speaker 9: forget that number.
28:53
Speaker 3: I won't.
28:54
Speaker 2: I'll know. I'll know that number till the day I die.
28:57
Speaker 2: You just gonna shake it off, and.
29:00
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like Orson Wells
29:02
Speaker 1: at in Citizen Kane on my deathbed.
29:09
Speaker 2: She could have done anyway. Congratulations Taylors to If you're
29:16
Speaker 2: a good Hyeah.

29:55
Speaker 1: While you're at Treehouse on Air dot com, click across
29:58
Speaker 1: the top for the RMS Treehouse Listeners Foundation. You can
30:03
Speaker 1: donate money right then and there to go towards families
30:07
Speaker 1: of fallen police officers and firefighters killed in a line
30:09
Speaker 1: of duty in the DFW area, just like the foundation
30:13
Speaker 1: did this week, or Tarot Police officer Jacob Candenosa, who
30:18
Speaker 1: was killed in the line of duty Sunday night. On Wednesday,
30:23
Speaker 1: the foundation was able to get a check into the
30:26
Speaker 1: department's hands, which then into the hands of officer Candanos's
30:30
Speaker 1: with us.
30:30
Speaker 2: So if you'd like to.
30:31
Speaker 1: Donate to that cause, please do so, and do so
30:35
Speaker 1: in whatever amount you can. We appreciate it so that
30:37
Speaker 1: way we can continue to not only issue checks on
30:42
Speaker 1: your behalf to these families, but also doing so in
30:46
Speaker 1: as much of an amount as possible. So the more
30:48
Speaker 1: you donate, the more we can give, and the more
30:50
Speaker 1: families we can help across DFW and maybe even you know,
30:53
Speaker 1: stretching the boundary someday, but in order for us to
30:55
Speaker 1: do it, we've got to have the money to do it.
30:57
Speaker 1: Treehouse on air dot com. You can don't to the
31:00
Speaker 1: foundation right in there, thank you very much. This is
31:03
Speaker 1: the tree House, and it is, of course Friday. Raj
31:07
Speaker 1: loves it. I love seeing Raj's face whenever I say Friday,
31:09
Speaker 1: like that, Friday the thirteenth, twenty twenty four. Earlier this week,
31:14
Speaker 1: there was some really big news that I just don't
31:15
Speaker 1: have the brain capacity to understand.
31:18
Speaker 2: And I don't know.
31:19
Speaker 1: I think of all of us inside the treehouse right now.
31:22
Speaker 1: My guess is that Trey might be able to help
31:25
Speaker 1: us here, although stereotypically speaking, I should be asking Raj,
31:29
Speaker 1: but he's unfortunately not helpful in this whatsoever. Google has
31:35
Speaker 1: unveiled its quantum chip. A quantum chip, a computer chip
31:40
Speaker 1: that solves ten billion year problems in minutes. I don't
31:46
Speaker 1: even know what a ten billion year problem is. I
31:51
Speaker 1: can't wrap my brain around that. I don't know, and
31:54
Speaker 1: of course Raj is looking at me. Look, h Google
31:57
Speaker 1: has unveiled its quantum chip. It's called Willow, capable of
32:01
Speaker 1: completing a task in under five minutes that would take
32:04
Speaker 1: a super computer up to ten septillion years.
32:07
Speaker 2: I can't see, I don't know.
32:09
Speaker 1: It features one hundred five cubits qub I T S.
32:16
Speaker 2: That is the quantum equivalent of a regular computer bit
32:21
Speaker 2: so one hundred and five cubits.
32:23
Speaker 7: Is that?
32:24
Speaker 2: Is that the little arcade character that hops up and
32:26
Speaker 2: down the blox? No, that was Cubert cube Bert. Thank you, Trey,
32:30
Speaker 2: appreciate that. You know who else thought that? RAJ? But
32:36
Speaker 2: thank you.
32:37
Speaker 9: I know I know everything that's being said right now.
32:40
Speaker 9: I know I understand all of it.
32:43
Speaker 2: Do you not at all? Thank you very much.
32:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred five cubits and represents a breakthrough in
32:52
Speaker 1: error production. I'm sorry, error reduction a major hurdle in
32:55
Speaker 1: quantum computing. By adding more cubits and correcting errors in
33:00
Speaker 1: real time, researchers achieved below threshold error rates, a milestone
33:05
Speaker 1: in the field. Google's next goal is to perform a
33:09
Speaker 1: real world computation beyond the reach of classical computers. The companies, oh,
33:13
Speaker 1: does this mean we're getting metal computers. The company sees
33:20
Speaker 1: quantum technology as key to advancing artificial intelligence, developing new medicines,
33:25
Speaker 1: creating better ev batteries and accelerating clean energy solutions. It's
33:34
Speaker 1: casable of solving problems in minutes that would take classical
33:37
Speaker 1: supercomputers trillions of years to complete. Yes, all I know
33:41
Speaker 1: is will it make me better at call of duty?
33:43
Speaker 1: That's all I want to know.
33:46
Speaker 3: My lafe time whip your ass.
33:50
Speaker 9: Yeah, it would beat the game in seconds.
33:59
Speaker 2: Well that's no fun, or you would have AI that
34:04
Speaker 2: acted just like actual people.
34:07
Speaker 1: Well I saw the other day that even in AI,
34:09
Speaker 1: there's some other thing that was set up that from
34:11
Speaker 1: a text prompt, an AI computer can design in a
34:17
Speaker 1: matter of minutes an entire three D virtual world.
34:21
Speaker 9: M yeah, this is how it starts.
34:27
Speaker 2: How what started?
34:28
Speaker 7: We go.
34:32
Speaker 2: The AI takeover?
34:33
Speaker 9: This is how we uh, this is how civilization ends.
34:39
Speaker 1: It's gonna takeover. We're humans, We were going to do
34:42
Speaker 1: that on our own anyway. All this does is just
34:45
Speaker 1: accelerated a little bit.
34:49
Speaker 3: Yeah.
34:49
Speaker 9: But I mean instead of real people taking us over,
34:51
Speaker 9: we're just gonna have the artificial intelligence. And then that's
34:56
Speaker 9: when we become enslaved to the AI aready enslaved?
35:00
Speaker 2: Have you seen people on their phones?
35:03
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yeah, Rogie, you're gonna be a matrix like
35:08
Speaker 3: world where we're all just basically used for are you
35:11
Speaker 3: know energy?
35:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just kept in gooey jelly pods for as
35:16
Speaker 1: batteries for the UH, for our sentient AI overlords. Yes,
35:23
Speaker 1: Irony is gonna be in that is they're gonna show
35:24
Speaker 1: Matrix all the Matrix movies.
35:27
Speaker 2: On repeat.
35:32
Speaker 9: Than one Hallmark movie.
35:33
Speaker 1: For Dan, it'll be a Matrix Christmas.
35:44
Speaker 2: I don't want that one.
35:45
Speaker 7: Right now, you're in the tree House.

36:20
Speaker 1: Don't forget to give us a follow on social media
36:22

36:26
Speaker 1: on Air. Always fun things going on on our social
36:30
Speaker 1: media channels at Treehouse on Air. Back inside the Treehouse now, Dan, Trey,
36:35
Speaker 1: Raj and Jerry coming off the very deep, deep discussion
36:39
Speaker 1: about quantum computing that I understood none of. But thankfully
36:43
Speaker 1: Jerry you were during that break giving us a little
36:46
Speaker 1: more information and context about how huge this quantum computer
36:53
Speaker 1: chip from Google is.
36:56
Speaker 2: Right, it's it's like the difference between technology pre and
37:00
Speaker 2: post the nuclear age. You know, we figured out how
37:03
Speaker 2: to split the ad and it's like, great, there's all
37:05
Speaker 2: these wonderful things that you can do if you understand
37:08
Speaker 2: enough physics to be able to split an atom, and
37:10
Speaker 2: think of all the wonderful things we can do. Boom,
37:12
Speaker 2: we make a bomb. You know, so we came so
37:15
Speaker 2: close to killing ourselves with it, and we're still kind
37:20
Speaker 2: of on the precipice of that. And the quantum computing
37:23
Speaker 2: chip is the same sort of a thing for computing.
37:27
Speaker 2: It's it's it just it goes so far forward with
37:33
Speaker 2: new technology and new uses and new things that open
37:38
Speaker 2: up to us. It's like, are we ready for it yet?
37:40
Speaker 3: You know?
37:42
Speaker 2: With go ahead?
37:44
Speaker 3: Well, classic computer is zero's and ones, like you always
37:49
Speaker 3: remember that a cubit can be both, so it's zero,
37:52
Speaker 3: one or both. So it quantumly ex it makes it
38:02
Speaker 3: increases with what it can do. I forgot what the percentages.
38:06
Speaker 2: But exponentially.
38:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, see no pun intended. I really don't mean it.
38:13
Speaker 1: This is just I'm being honest here. My brain can't
38:15
Speaker 1: process that, Like I can't process that those numbers into
38:20
Speaker 1: that realm.
38:21
Speaker 2: I just can't.
38:21
Speaker 1: Like, well, the only thing I understand when I hear
38:24
Speaker 1: the word quantum is in relation to the Marvel movies,
38:27
Speaker 1: and even then I don't necessarily understand how they were
38:29
Speaker 1: able to use the quantum realm and go back and
38:31
Speaker 1: kill Thanos and change stuff. I get it in the
38:33
Speaker 1: context of the films because it time worked differently, But
38:36
Speaker 1: that's all I got. If it's in a comic movie,
38:39
Speaker 1: I kind of understand it. In the real world, I
38:42
Speaker 1: have no effing clue how to properly comprehend or understand
38:47
Speaker 1: what it all means and what it could actually do.
38:48
Speaker 3: I'm so disappointed in you, becau Scott Bacula would have
38:51
Speaker 3: been a much better punchline.
38:53
Speaker 9: That's what I was gonna do.
38:54
Speaker 2: I was going for that one as well, son of
38:59
Speaker 2: a bit. How could I not make the leap to
39:05
Speaker 2: quantum leap? Yeah?
39:15
Speaker 7: I was.
39:15
Speaker 9: That was my that was gonna be How did you
39:18
Speaker 9: miss that one? That was the easiest one.
39:26
Speaker 2: Me. I'm gonna be pissed about that. Oh God, that weekend.
39:33
Speaker 3: That doesn't understand.
39:34
Speaker 2: I don't understand quantum anything.
39:36
Speaker 1: I didn't even get a good quantum leaps got Bacula reference.
39:40
Speaker 1: I'll just stick with things I know, like birthdays. Let
39:47
Speaker 1: me pull up birthdays here real quick, all right? Today
39:49
Speaker 1: is fred Day, December thirteenth, twenty twenty four. This was
39:53
Speaker 1: not planned. I swear to God this I did Taylor.
39:58
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is thirty five today. I was not intentional.
40:03
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I never Trey knows this. I
40:06
Speaker 1: never Jerry knows this as well. I never look at
40:08
Speaker 1: birthdays before I actually do it. But Taylor Swift is
40:11
Speaker 1: thirty five today. Catherine Schwarzenegger turns thirty five as well.
40:17
Speaker 2: Not only is.
40:18
Speaker 1: She the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shreiver, but
40:22
Speaker 1: she's also married to Chris Pratt. She is thirty five today.
40:26
Speaker 1: Evan Essence lead singer Amy Lee is forty three. Big
40:30
Speaker 1: fan of her in the Evanescence. Tom DeLong from Blink
40:34
Speaker 1: twin eighty two is forty nine. He's also really big
40:37
Speaker 1: into UFOs, and it turns out that well he may
40:40
Speaker 1: be right based on some of the news that we've
40:43
Speaker 1: seen recently. Who would have thought that the guy from
40:46
Speaker 1: Blank Gwin eighty two is going to be at the
40:48
Speaker 1: forefront of well uncovering the truth behind aliens. Jamie Fox
40:54
Speaker 1: turns fifty seven today, and he almost didn't make it
40:58
Speaker 1: because news has finally come out I think just a
41:00
Speaker 1: couple of days ago that last year or earlier this year,
41:04
Speaker 1: he had a brain believe that led to a stroke
41:07
Speaker 1: and that was whatever health issue he was having that.
41:12
Speaker 1: You know, he was just you know, we didn't hear
41:14
Speaker 1: anything from him from a long time. It's because he
41:16
Speaker 1: almost died, but he didn't.
41:19
Speaker 2: He made it. He made it to fifty seven, So
41:21
Speaker 2: good on him.
41:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that we're incorporating some new fun bumpers back
41:28
Speaker 1: into the show, here's one that we need to do.
41:29
Speaker 2: Morris Day is sixty seven. You got to get some
41:31
Speaker 2: jungle love back on the show. Oh yeah, love me
41:34
Speaker 2: somemorrist Day in the time. No, you got to say
41:37
Speaker 2: it right. You got to say it right. It's Morris
41:39
Speaker 2: Day and the Mother Time. That's right.
41:44
Speaker 1: Steve Bishimi is sixty seven from a Ton of Fun,
41:49
Speaker 1: Ton of Fun films. The singer for Alabama turns seventy five.
41:54
Speaker 1: Randy Owens Randy Owen singular. Apparently he is seventy five today, Randy.
42:02
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you really want to put
42:04
Speaker 3: a nice little bit tie everything in y you're talking
42:06
Speaker 3: about Blink one, A two and UFOs. Allegedly, NASA shut
42:11
Speaker 3: down their quantum computer because they were afraid it had
42:13
Speaker 3: made tell and made contact with an alien or you know,
42:18
Speaker 3: another intelligence.
42:20
Speaker 1: So an alien ring the doorbell and we turned off
42:23
Speaker 1: the lights and hit on the floor.
42:26
Speaker 2: Like they sent a text message, we goes to the aliens.
42:33
Speaker 2: M Forest theory.
42:36
Speaker 1: It's a no we we we ding dong ditched the aliens.
42:43
Speaker 2: That's kind of rude.
42:48
Speaker 9: Treated the aliens like Jehovah's witnesses.
43:00
Speaker 7: You're in this US online a treehouse on hair.
43:05
Speaker 2: Do my look, it's aliens. Wait, they got Watchtower magazines.
43:10
Speaker 2: Get on the floor.
43:27
Speaker 7: You're in the tree house.
43:29
Speaker 8: This is U is online at treehouse on air dot com.
43:47
Speaker 1: All right, you're telling me NASA was afraid of of
43:50
Speaker 1: the aliens and that's why they shut off their quantum computer.
43:55
Speaker 3: They were afraid that it had had it, it was
43:59
Speaker 3: in touch with an alien intelligence and it could affect things.
44:05
Speaker 3: It was there. It was hypothetical or.
44:09
Speaker 2: Hold on, okay, continue.
44:17
Speaker 3: I don't remember the full story, but I want to
44:19
Speaker 3: say they were encountering some kind of anomaly in one
44:22
Speaker 3: of someone said what if and they went, oh crap,
44:26
Speaker 3: and that's started off. Turn that thing off or a.
44:30
Speaker 1: Bit right, like okay, I understand, Like if it was me,
44:35
Speaker 1: I would probably turn that thing off. We're talking about NASA.
44:37
Speaker 1: They're not supposed to be a bunch of pussy's. They're
44:39
Speaker 1: supposed to be like explo explorers. I mean, I mean
44:43
Speaker 1: when when the when uh Columbus and all the explorers
44:49
Speaker 1: that explored the New World, they didn't turn the ship
44:52
Speaker 1: around when when they saw Indians they go like, hey,
44:55
Speaker 1: let's go talk to them and kill them. Of course,
44:58
Speaker 1: then again, what if we were the native and the
45:01
Speaker 1: all right, maybe it doesn't make sense exactly.
45:04
Speaker 2: We just started, you know, quantum computers and just started
45:07
Speaker 2: getting into that technology. And here you've got aliens out there.
45:10
Speaker 2: They're like, isn't that cute? My kindergartener made one of
45:12
Speaker 2: those with a radio check project board.
45:14
Speaker 1: Oh god, where the macaroni art? Of the of the
45:17
Speaker 1: Solar system, it's right, you know.
45:21
Speaker 3: Let's even say, what's the saddest part is the one
45:25
Speaker 3: thing that has gone farther and lasted longer was a
45:29
Speaker 3: technology we put together fifty years ago and voyager that's
45:33
Speaker 3: still somehow going and sending back you know, basic radio communications.
45:38
Speaker 1: Right, Well, you know what that's back when we built
45:42
Speaker 1: stuff to last now now, we don't build stuff to
45:47
Speaker 1: last anymore because you want to make sure that you're
45:49
Speaker 1: forced to get a new phone before the contract end.
45:51
Speaker 1: So you're you're so you're you're in servitude in perpetuity
45:56
Speaker 1: to the cell phone companies. Although, now that I think
46:00
Speaker 1: about it, Earth being the Macaroni Art of the universe
46:04
Speaker 1: is not exactly a you know, slam because it may
46:09
Speaker 1: be kind of accurate. So maybe NASA's right to turn
46:13
Speaker 1: off the quantum computer if they think they actually talked
46:15
Speaker 1: or made contact with an alien force, alien population, whatever,
46:22
Speaker 1: because we probably can't handle it.
46:25
Speaker 2: That's right. There's a reason why they don't land here,
46:27
Speaker 2: and it's probably because they're afraid we're gonna like stop
46:29
Speaker 2: them and ask him for change or something.
46:31
Speaker 1: Because we're the butt toothed locals on the side of
46:34
Speaker 1: the road.
46:34
Speaker 3: That's why we're the Florida of the universe.
46:40
Speaker 2: That one.
46:40
Speaker 9: So we're not even we're not even the macaroni arc
46:43
Speaker 9: or the or the kid that eats the glue.
46:46
Speaker 1: We're the kid that's eating the macaroni off the art.
46:51
Speaker 1: Although to be fair, you know what, maybe NASA was right,
46:54
Speaker 1: Maybe they were Maybe it's better off that they do
46:56
Speaker 1: shut that thing off, and we don't make actual contact
46:59
Speaker 1: with with an a you know, civilization, because not only
47:03
Speaker 1: we may not be able to handle it mentally, emotionally, spiritually,
47:08
Speaker 1: all those things, physically maybe even, but I mean, we
47:14
Speaker 1: are kind of the idiots of the universe.
47:16
Speaker 2: I'm as am.
47:17
Speaker 1: I I'm assuming that that's going to be true. But
47:20
Speaker 1: when I see headlines like this, I think it's very
47:23
Speaker 1: accurate because Oregon is trying to find a vandal and
47:28
Speaker 1: stop him. You know why, because there's a vandal running
47:32
Speaker 1: around putting googly eyes on everything, and the entire state
47:35
Speaker 1: of Oregon doesn't want that. And I'm over here saying,
47:39
Speaker 1: put the googly eyes on everything.
47:42
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think that's hysterical.
47:44
Speaker 1: You know, it'd be great put some googly eyes on
47:46
Speaker 1: the front end of a space shuttle and send that
47:48
Speaker 1: bitch to Mars, so that way the entire universe knows
47:52
Speaker 1: what they're dealing.
47:52
Speaker 9: But that's when the aliens just look out and go
47:58
Speaker 9: something from Oregon just lit.
48:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I actually think googly eyes on everything would
48:09
Speaker 1: make everything better. You can just put two big googly
48:13
Speaker 1: eyes on the planet.
48:17
Speaker 3: At least give him a heads up of what they're
48:18
Speaker 3: about to get into.
48:23
Speaker 1: Let there'd be no doubt about what you're gonna find
48:25
Speaker 1: on this planet. But just slack job Earthlings for everything Treehouse,
48:34
Speaker 1: go to Treehouse on Air dot com. That should be
48:37
Speaker 1: the title for the episode, slack job Earthlings Treehouse on
48:42
Speaker 1: Air dot Com. Be sure to follow us on social
48:44
Speaker 1: media as well. For me, it's at the Danil Maley.
48:46
Speaker 1: For Trey, it's at Trade turnd Home one and Forage,
48:49
Speaker 1: it's at Comedian Rage for Jerry, our science expert. At
48:53
Speaker 1: that Jerry guy there it is.
48:57
Speaker 2: That's the Treehouse for this week. Thanks for hanging out
48:59
Speaker 2: with us, shit it.
49:00
Speaker 1: We'll see you back Monday right here inside the Treehouse.
