Remember the thread someone posted (my apologies to the poster I can't remember).........

The one where the young couple is driving; and the guy asked his wife, "If you're traveling 80 miles per hour, how long does it take you to go 80 miles?" Here's a followup:

Travis Chambers told "Good Morning America" he made the video with no malicious intent and that it was nothing more than "affectionate teasing."

"I asked the question and she started answering and I said, 'I have to film this. Her family is going to think this is so funny,'" he explained today. "It was just so funny to me. We were just kind of goofing off, driving home. I think it looks a little worse than it was. …We tease and joke a lot."

The couple, who are both students at Utah State University in Logan, got married in August and the math problem brain freeze happened just before Christmas. He posted the video on YouTube back in December to share with their family and friends. The video had been sitting there, undiscovered for months, and neither one of them expected it to go viral.

"I honestly had no clue what to think," she said about finding out millions had watched her video. "At first I was shocked and then really mad. … Definitely, it was a roller coaster for a while. My emotions were pretty intense."

What YouTubers didn't see, they say, is that Chelsea had been up all night studying for finals the night before and that her brain was completely fried. Plus, they had no radio on the boring car ride to visit her family in Boise and had to keep one another entertained.

Along with millions of views, the video has racked up a lot of comments, with many wondering whether the husband is in hot water with his spouse.

"I was like, 'How could you do this to me?' I was pretty upset, but I realize that our marriage is deeper than that. I can't let this little thing affect how I feel about my husband," she said. "I love him and our relationship has just kind of grown from this."

Her husband does apologize though for any hurt he might have caused his spouse.

"I definitely do apologize to Chelsea for teasing a little bit," he said today. "I'm sorry for the emotional roller coaster it's put you through. I am glad that you are understanding and such a sweet wife and that we are doing well."
