  Speaker 2: It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Trady Trentholm and Ras Sharma. We have just a couple
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of days before Christmas and I want to make sure
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that we cram in all the Christmas related content that
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we can, including a Christmas tradition out of Spain that
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I had forgotten about until recently. I would like to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: thank my social media algorithm for reminding me about the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Catalan Christmas log or as others know it. Are you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: guys aware of the Catalan Christmas pooping log?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I can't say that I am.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: This is from Spain, sometimes called CagA Teo or Teo,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the Nda dog.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: H interesting.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: If someone put googly eyes in a and a smiling
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: face on a log and a hat and a hat.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So this is the Catalan Christmas pooping log, sometimes
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: called Taga Teo or Teo d Nadal. This is a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Christmas tradition out of areas of Spain that spans a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: few centuries. This is its story. A log is given
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a face, a red catle and hat as you can
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: see there, and stick legs on the front. Children then
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: feed it daily with water, nuts and sweets leading up
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to Christmas. Then on Christmas Eve, families gather. They cover
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the log with a blanket, sing traditional songs and then
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: beat dick out of it with sticks. As they sing,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the log poops out small presents like candies and fruits
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and little presents and gifts from underneath its blanket. Then,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: after the main presence, the log just might drop a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: final less desire riable item like a salted herring or
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a rotten potato if it's been natty. So keep that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: in mind with whatever Christmas tradition you keep alive in
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: your household, that in other parts of the world they
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: have their own.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. My family was from Spain and
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: I was a log because I got beat the same way.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Had pooped out presents.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: That's how it got out of the beating, and a potato, which.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Is odd, uh rotten potato. Yeah, that is so strange. Yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: it was a handful of years ago. I first heard
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: about this, and then, like so many things in my life,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: I had completely forgotten about it, and then it just
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: kind of popped back around.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: On my algorithm. I was like, oh, yeah, because when
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I saw this photo, I was like, I remember this,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, that is a weird, weird
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Christmas tradition. At the same time, if you think about it,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: all Christmas traditions are kind of weird if you really
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: look at him from a different perspective, because a big
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: chunk of the Christmas mythology is that Santa delivers toys
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to all the boys and girls of the world on
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a single night, and he has elves that he keeps
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: his labor and drain deer that fly. I mean, I
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: guess making a pooping gift log is not that far
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: of a stretch.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: But I'm speechless.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: I would say Nick was real, I mean, like Nicholas whatever,
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: what what was his actual name? That was a real thing,
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: and the only reason it was like flying reindeer is
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: because of the snow. So when they were when he
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: was delivering presents, it looked like they were flying.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: In the air, and that was the thing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: So are you saying that Santa is more believable than
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the Christmas pooping or are you saying that perhaps at
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: one point there was an original pooping log.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Yes, I wanna go. I'm gonna go with as a Hindu,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the with Saint Nick.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's interesting though when you think about it, because
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: there's all these stories that come about around different holidays,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: especially Christmas. I mean, you've got things like Rudolph and Frosty,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: things that are completely you know, just made up from
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: someone's you know, creativity, and then it's found its way
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: into the holidays season up to and including the California
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Raisins Christmas Special I remember watching as a kid, which
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I thoroughly loved. By the way, these different traditions are
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: fascinating to me because the stories and the thing that
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: come around and then and then it becomes a franchise
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: like we have Elf on a Shelf has taken off
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and is wildly popular, but here is a missed opportunity
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: for some ip for a movie studio, just waiting to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: happen with the cattle in Christmas pooping log. It's adorable.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, you can put it on a chain, you
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: can call it poop on a loop.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Uh sells itself. But yeah, I mean you have all
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: these stories that that will sell. You know, it sells
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: toys and merchandise and movies and television shows, all these
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: things surrounding. And I'm just can't understand why this one
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: hasn't taken off in the same way as so many others.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: You could have it in a glove and called shit
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: and mint.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And they do think that. I don't you would think
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that the thing that gives you Christmas presents, you wouldn't
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: beat it with a stick. But that's part of the tradition.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: In some of the research I did into this, Yes,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I did little research into this. It's reminiscent of a pinata.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: So this is kind of like a Christmas pinata type
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: of a scenario, except in an actual pinata, you beat
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: it so much it opens up and spills out all
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: of its gifts and not its enterds. But here it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: just a it's a log and it's got a happy,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: smiley face on it, and that it pooped out your presence.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Congratulations, I got beat with a stick. It wasn't a
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: holiday tradition. It was just a Tuesday. But yeah, I mean.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Although although there were a few times that I got
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: beat so bad I thought I was gonna shit.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: It wasn't. It wasn't a good beating. If you didn't.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: That that that's how my mom knew I was done anymore.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be a good Christmas story for me if ultimately,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you know, the log got taken away and your heart broken,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and then it comes back as a paddle.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: It's your dad just carving up the Christmas log into
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a paddle and then changes you around the tree.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Still have the eyes. Yeah, come back, have the eyes
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and smiley face. Just time. It's the architect of your destruction.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Which is a little strange because my parents or Hindu,
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: so I don't even know why we did this.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: That's the only time my mother believed in Jesus.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It is is fascinating though, sometimes when you're getting beat
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: like that as a kid and you're like, why do
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you have me? If all you want to do is
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: hurt me?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, my dad had an answer for that question. It
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: was like, that's what kids are for, you know, I'll
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: take out your frustration.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, that is horrific.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: See, don't you feel a little normal because we have
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: the same thing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I still don't. I don't feel normal. No, No,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I think, I think. I think. What we've all come
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to realize here is that while we have some shared experiences,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: that doesn't make them okay.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Child abuse is a universal language.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: It really is, and the three of us are fluent.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: I knew in mathematically is nine one one.
• 10:01

  Speaker 4: Daniel?
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Not naked, but we have had a couple of doors
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: answering that have been risque. I would say it's a
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: good term maybe like almost brawl and panties kind of
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: deal one time and they probably were shorts, but they
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: definitely weren't shorts. Maybe I think one time a lady.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Answered in a towel.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, so I mean, I guess that happens. One time
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: a guy answered and all he had on was a
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: pair and he did not have a very flattering fasique.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah he had what did he have on?
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: Just like a pair of shorts, like one of those
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: like shorty shorts, like from the nineteen seventies.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, yeah, and not.
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: Flattering at all. So that was kind of like.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: In a moment like that, do you look around to
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: see it? Am I in the right place for the
• 11:35

  Speaker 2: free property review eight three three cook DFW or the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: website cookdfw dot com. ROJ you said you think that
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: all the beatings we all got is the reason why
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: we don't have kids.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: My mother used to say this.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you ever got this, but it
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: was like, when you have your own kids, you can
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: do this too. I never got that, and I was
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: like well, that's why I don't have kids.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: That's actually one of the main reasons I don't is
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: because there's a little bit of a cycle breaking mentality
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: going on with me where it's like, you know what,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I think it's probably best because I wasn't shown the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: best way to parent, I probably wouldn't be the best parent.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, I'm go ahead.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Well, they say you parent like you were parented, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I mean my parents were not good parents. You know that,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: And the world really doesn't need another bipolar addict.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: So you know, well you told that to Los Angeles,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: my friend.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: I'm really good with kids, like kids love me, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: I love I love children like I I'll buy gifts,
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: I'll go out of my way to do things. But
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: I don't want any more of this DNA in the
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: world at all.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: And I'm kind of an enigma because I'm I'm very
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: much a question mark as far as when it comes
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: to nature versus nurture because I'm adopted, right, and I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: don't know my biological family, so I don't know what
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: sort of screwed up recessive jeans are in that gene
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: pool that I have somewhere lurking inside me. All I
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: know is how I was raised and what was modeled
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: for me, and how I was raised and what was
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: modeled for me was not stellar. So I think it's
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: probably for the best that we just not, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: tempt fade on that front, or like Trey said, it's
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: like the world doesn't need another bipolar addict. And even
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: on Christmas, most of our Christmases were absolutely fantastic. But
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: if I saw this teo didn't a doll cattle in
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Christmas pooping doll underneath the tree on Christmas morning, I
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: would be worried that it looks a little too easy,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: too wheeled in my mother's hand, like she could pick
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: that up and chase me around the tree with it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: I would just wake up and be like my dad
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: had too much Johnny walkmerd and shit under the tree
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: and then drew.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: A face on it and put a hat on it
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: and covered it up with a red rug so you
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: wouldn't see it.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I mean the rug would be Persian. But yes, anyway, yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Uh so, Merry Christmas do us And and I'm with you,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Roger Meane. I like kids. I've never had anything against them.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: It's just the the older I got the more I
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: thought about it, and I was like, you know what,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I think, it's probably it's it's best for me and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: my life and lifestyle, and probably for the benefit of
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the child. That's probably not good.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: He's one I always wanted kids. I'm like, even when
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: when I was married, Like, we didn't not try. Uh
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: But I guess that was the universe going, hey, just
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: be a good uncle and and and buy cool stuff.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Uh So I'm okay doing that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: That's a good spot to be in.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because I can also not show up the next year.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fine. Speaking of good spots to be in. Right,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: if you are flying over the holidays, keep your eyes
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: open because you might just see a miracle or two.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: According to the International Air Transport Association, airlines have reported
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a more than thirty percent surge in wheelchair assistance requests
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: at airports, with larger airports reporting even higher numbers. Flight
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: attendants say many are able bodied passengers seeking wheelchairs for
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: a so called VIP experience, an escorted trip down the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: jetway that skips lines and secures early access to overhead
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: bin space. However, a large number miraculously stand and walk
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: unaided upon arrival, leading many to credit a divine intervention
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: known as Jetway Jesus for their sudden return to mobility.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because they like it because you get to
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: board first.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: But if you need wheelchair assistants and you're last off
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the plane and they don't like that. So yeah, amazingly
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: they can walk. I saw that the last three times
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I've flown, Like it's mind boggling.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: The same for me. I would see people get pushed
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: through the terminal by the attendants in their wheelchairs. Then
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: they get right to the front of the line, doesn't
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: matter what group number they're supposed to be for whatever
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: they paid for, because they need the special assistance. They're
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: in the wheelchair. They get on first, and then you're
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: right trey. Once once the plane gets to where it's going, boo,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: up they are and they're grabbing stuff out of the
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: overhead bin and they're ready to get off that plane
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: and go. It's a it's a it's a holy divine intervention,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and it's just lucky that we've been able to witness it.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Oh. My father, I can't even make this up.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: He would always ask for a wheelchair and I was like,
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: what because diabetic? Right, But this was before any of
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: the congestive heart failure and any of the dimensions stuff.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: He would always request because of his age. He's like,
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: watch this, We're gonna go right through security. And I'm like,
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: I will take And I did this because I guess morality.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: I would go in the other line and he's like, no,
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: just come with me, just walk to walk with me,
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: pretend you have my nurse.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I was like, I look like you, what are the odds?
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that man I watched him walk off a
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: plane one time carrying four bottles of Shivis.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: The wheelchair was still waiting at the jetway.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was that was my father, So he
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: was he was one of those people.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're right, I have I have witnessed this tray,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: and especially when it's someone that's younger and you see
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: them being pushed by the wheelchair and it's like, really,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: are you kind of a thing? Now, I have learned
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: that if we're talking like a handicap parking spot and
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: someone parks there and they walk out of the car
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: and they look completely fine physically, not everyone's handicaps are visible.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: So I've learned that over the years. So you can't
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: just assume that someone is gaming the system if they
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: park in a handicap spot and they have the thing.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Although keep in mind that was something my family was
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: really big on. My grandmother had a handicap thing once
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: after a surgery, and it was supposed to be it
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: was supposed to expire after a certain amount of time.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, that thing kept getting renewed
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: and renewed. I don't know how. And next thing you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: my aunt had one and my mom has one.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Because once they issue him typically there for life. But
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I just can't imagine, I, okay, you're gaming the system.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: You get the wheel. I would be so embarrassed. I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: would at least have to wait and get wheeled off.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: That's it. I would pretend to have polio and that's
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: not even a thing.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Now, don't worry, it's coming back.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Okay, I would. I would pretend that I would
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: walk up like if I got out of the car.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: I would limp, just so everybody looking is like, oh,
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: well that makes sense.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Well that's the thing that's that's so disgusting about people
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: these days is they don't even try to hide it
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: until they absolutely have to. You raj you Trey I
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: get it. If you're going to fake it, you are
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: going to fake it in its entirety. You are going
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to go with that bit from beginning to end. As
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: soon as you park at the airport, you got the cart,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: you're limping, you're limping into the terminal, you're limping through security,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: your butts in the wheelchair, and you carry it all
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the way through to the end. And then you wait
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: for the wheelchair, like you said, trade to take you
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: off the plane as well. So you've maintained the lie
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the entire time. And I applaud that work ethic. So
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: many people don't have it these days. They only do
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: it for as much time as they absolutely have to
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: to get what they want, and then they're gone.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I think I would go as far if I really
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: were going to do it. I still have a boot
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: from what I broke my ankle. I would probably slap
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: that thing on just to give it some authenticity.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Even if it was on your army. Why do you
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: have a boot on your arm I'm not well.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: You know what, This gives me a great idea for
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: a store at the airport, at the airport outside of security.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: But you get your wheelchair right then and there.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: What's the there's.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: A luggage store that's like right when you go through security,
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: there's to me.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Is that the name of the uh that sounds right? Yeah?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean you can have little little medical
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: you know, appendage detachment. You can have medical accessories. You
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: can have a little gas tank wheel wheeling around. You
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: can get slings, you should. You can get knee braces,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: ankle braces. You can get one of those halo things
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: for your head. I'd be great what you want.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: You don't even need to pay the rent.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: You just need a car, and like it's like the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you know, remember the eighties, Like you people open up
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: their vests and they have watches and stuff.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: You pop the truck.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: You've got bootslings, crutches, walkers, the whole nine yards.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: And if someone ask you what sort of career you're in,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: you're like, I'm in medical sales.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: You can have some X rays you get you know doctor,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I say, oh, yeah, this is yours.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Here and I'm Indian. I'll help you with those.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Hot in my mobile MRI van here. All it is
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: is just a printer just popping out MRI stuff with
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: circles on a go. Look, herniation or whatever neck braces
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: two for two for one.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Fuck clear? Uh clear?
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: I think it's ninety nine dollars a month. I'll so
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: you a boot for twenty.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: That's right, and I'll be sold out by lunch.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: On every boot it just says pay it forward, so
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: when you get done, when you get off your flight,
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: you just give it to the next person.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And also I'll have a separate line of those
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: medical accessories. Uh, we'll have the one where you can
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: also hide a flask.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: God damn, we're a mix of the Downies and the Kardashians.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know what's happening right now.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Roger.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in you. No, you don't pay it forward.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: You make those things where they fall apart after one use.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Goddamn right, Hey brother, I'm still I'm still eBay not tu.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you can have like the uh god,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to get five stars. You're just trying

• 26:40
  Speaker 2: you live on an island like I do on St.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Thomas and the US Virgin Islands. There's like fifty thousand
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: people here, so I mean it's not a tiny town,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: but it is a small area and it's got a
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: small town field because you see a lot of the
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: same people you know when you go places, and your
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: option aren't limited when it comes to a number of industries.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: What I'm beating around the Christmas pooping log here is
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: that I'm afraid I'm going to need a new plumber.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: And there aren't many really good plumbers on this island
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: that I have found yet. And I found one, found
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: a really good one, and I can understand what he says.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: He does really good work. He was a marine and
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: he's also going through a difficult time with his girlfriend.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: And I'm now going to tell you how I know
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: about this. So yesterday is his name? Probably shouldn't have
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: said that. Hang on, let me let me just do
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: this here. I can fix it, all right? Is his name?
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Whatever?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Already said anyway, I might need a new plumber because
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: he's having a difficult time with his girlfriend. Yesterday he
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: came over to help me switch out some cistern filters okay,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: and also sink stuff. Then this morning when I wake up,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: he has sent a few texts.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, we've seen these movies. Dan.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: This is the reason why I debated even telling you
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: guys about this, because I knew you were gonna twist
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: it and turn it into something that it's not.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I just don't know why. I think like Tray sometimes.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: But he saw his face and I was like, I'll wait.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: So Renee comes over because I needed a couple of
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: things changed. The plumber comes over. I needed a couple
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: of things changed, and then the idea was for him
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: to come back, and then I needed a quote on
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: some other work okay, and then he was going to
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: come back today to finish it. Right. The problem is
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: he sent a couple of texts last night, and I
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: don't know if I'm ever going to hear from him again,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: because he sent texts that were not intended for me.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: In fact, they said, mm hmm. Up here, babe, I'm
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: still the same person you've loved. It was a bad day,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: but know that I love you and I miss you.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Let me show you how much I miss you. And
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: then a photograph. Uh uh. I have now seen way
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: more of my plumber than anyone ever should.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: And take it away.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: And it is not lost on me that he was
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: supposed to come back today to replace my p trap.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Or you're ovalbum like that.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: But here's the thing, the greatest thing in the world.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing. There aren't that many really good
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: plumbers on the island. So I found a good one
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: and I don't want him to be embarrassed. I want,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I need him to come back and do the work.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Also, how many dance does Rene love? So?
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get it, it's awkward, but bro, I
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: need some help.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Uh can So he thought he was messaging his girlfriend.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or he thought he and I have a way
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: different relationship than I thought.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: God, I hope it's the latter.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: At any point, did you uh scream?
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Didn't scream? If these pipes are clean?
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: No, don't you victim blame me. This is not my fault.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I woke up this morning and I saw a couple
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: of texts from him, expecting them to say something along
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: the lines of I'll be over at eight am or
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: stopping to get parts, then I'll be on my way,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: And instead it's him telling his girlfriend he loves her
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: and that he misses her, and he wants to show
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: her how much he misses her by sending me a
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: photo of his pipe.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: PBC or copper copper. So he's pierced, good to know.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Oh no, he's just he's very tan.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: Oh hence renee. Oh wow, Well, I mean, now, how
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: do you okay? So let's say he comes back, even
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: if he's the best plumber in the world, he comes
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: back tomorrow to.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: I hate to say, finish the job, because Trey's gonna
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: laugh before we.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: You know, he comes over to right and then you
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: have to look at him and go, what do I
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: owe you? He can't charge you after that.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I know. So that's why it's kind of a good
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: news bad news rock and a hard place type situation
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: for me, it is we're really going to stop walking into.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Those You have the worst LinkedIn profile.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Or the best that'll stand out on LinkedIn let me
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: tell you, or porn hub. I don't know which one
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: you use to get you can copy and paste both profiles.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Now, okay, so do you call him again? Do you
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: have to.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Go another shot and go, hey, man, I think you
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: messed up. You got to tell him right as a
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: as a dude. Okay, man, I think you messed up,
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: and that was that was me and Stuf you. I
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: know you're trying to send it to a girl. You're
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: having a rough day. I get that.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I should say anything. If anything,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I want to send something to him that like takes
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: up the text screen, like a link to a dumb
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: you know, video or a dumb TikTok or something. So
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: that way, maybe just maybe in his own mind, he
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: can think maybe maybe maybe this guy didn't see it
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: and it's pushed to the top. Or if I send
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: him something that's a video like a TikTok thing, it'll
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: push his text above mine, So then that way maybe
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: he won't then realize that he sent me those texts
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: although not that I'm saying that it's it's already middle
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: of the day here. It's far too late. He knows
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: what he did, and I don't think he's going to
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: be coming today, and I but.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I I think he is.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I just I don't want to call more attention to
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: it than than then. I know he knows that it
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: already has been.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: And what kind of videos would you be sending him?
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not sending any videos.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: You said you wanted to send him a video to you,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: that's what you just said.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh god, sorry, yes, yeah, I would do I
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: would do something like that, like I don't care what
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: it is. It could be like the dog chasing a squirrel.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I don't There's something completely I don't know, just something
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: to push the text up to where he might think
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: that I didn't see it, or he won't know that
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: he sent it.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: So in your community, dog chasing a squirrel, what does
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: that actual video look like?
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't know, because we don't have squirrels here.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: It have to be like a dog chasing on iguana
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: or a hermit crab or something.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: I'm just wondering in the docking or a rooster.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: And can you dress up as in a Star Trek
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: uniform so we can have h spot on a cock.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: That would be great. Uh.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I know I'm going to regret this, but I'm going
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: to tell you anyway that the name of his company
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: is Rooster Plumbing.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah it is, and we're out now right happy.
• 35:26
