Episode 30: Jerry Likes Being Boiled Alive · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:25
Welcome into the Treehouse. I'm Danielmalley, joined by Trey Trent Home and by
0:33
another friend of this here show and at one time associate producer and foot tender,
0:43
Jerry Caldwell. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Jerry's good to have you in
0:48
the Treehouse again, my friend. Yeah, it's good to be here.
0:51
So I've mentioned this before. We mentioned it when we did the road show
0:55
at Tody's in Bedford back in April. Trey, you had told me that
0:59
you actually your time with Jerry never overlapped, and you and I Trey talked
1:03
about this a couple episodes ago, and I just take for granted so many
1:07
things in the Treehouse that I shouldn't and that is that with all this,
1:11
all all the different amazing casts of characters that the show has employed over the
1:17
years, not everyone has overlapped at given times. You left the show in
1:23
at the end of twenty twelve, and Jerry, you were brought on sort
1:26
of not to replace Trey, but to just kind of fill a role because
1:32
when Trey left, everything got readjusted as far as the show structure, and
1:37
so Jerry was brought on. Who was who came first, Kinsey or Jerry
1:44
Kinsey technically Okay, so that wasn't warm Jerry. It was me technically,
1:51
but I didn't get brought in because Kensey showed up. So when Rust decided
1:57
he wanted to I was doing an internet a live in a TV show that
2:01
other certain people had become aware of and started watching other people that was currently
2:08
on the show. Yes, gotcha. Um. So when Russ decided he
2:15
wanted to start doing live video streaming out of the studio, he contacted me,
2:23
and I'm the one that helped us design the setup to you know,
2:29
find the TriCaster and do all that stuff and get all all that all the
2:32
video that we did for the radio show. Yeah, exactly. And then
2:38
I was supposed to come in and operate it after he got all that put
2:40
together. Came in and I helped him like tweak some stuff one day after
2:45
the late after the show was done, and then the next thing I know,
2:50
Kinsey's there. And it was Kinsey until until it wasn't until it wasn't.
2:57
Yeah, it was Kinsey until you know, until Russ rusted her.
3:02
And that's not a sexual thing at all. It was not. That's not
3:06
how I mean it. I mean because I've said this on a number of
3:08
times, and there's only a handful of people that know this the same or
3:16
maybe better than I do. And two of them are in this treehouse with
3:21
me right now. That's Trey and Jerry. Is you're around rust long enough,
3:25
he's eventually gonna bite you. Um. And that's and that's basically what
3:29
happened with with him and Kenzie and then Jerry. Then Jerry got Broun and
3:32
finally to get the job that was dangled in front of him for for a
3:36
period of time. And then September twenty fifteen, and then one day I
3:42
heart made a decision to eliminate an entire position from the company, and that
3:49
got Jerry swept up into the dust pin, into the dustpin. But but
3:54
and one of our one of our last triumphs before were being laid off,
4:03
we were able to get Jerry hired back, got the radio station. Yes,
4:08
and I somewhere deep down, Trey, I bet Jerry hates me for
4:12
it. I'm kidding. Jerry loves radio and he loves the job. Yes,
4:20
yes, I do. And I appreciate that there was a bit of
4:23
a bait and switch there. Oh yeah, come back and you'll get to
4:26
be you get to be a producer on for the Dreehouse come on back.
4:29
And then the day I get there, they let you guys go incident.
4:34
Right by the way, they never told me that you were going to be
4:38
your producer on the show. Oh yeah, Well anyways, the situation is
4:45
what it is. You got a job in radio, Trey and I do
4:47
not. But hey, we're in digital form now we've now joined the Matrix.
4:55
But that's right, you're doing the thing. We're not all digital because
4:59
like we did that show in April in Bedford, we found another another place
5:09
to invite us in person in a room with alcohol and other people. I'm
5:15
getting at another Treehouse podcast live road show that will be happening Jerry on Friday
5:21
July seventh at Daddy Rabbits Pub in Louisville one twenty one in Round Grove in
5:27
Louisville, five to seven pm. So I don't like to just make general
5:33
assumptions about people's lives and schedules. So I'm not assuming you're free. I'm
5:40
just I'm just going to ask you on Friday July seven, from five to
5:44
seven pm, what are you doing if things go according to plan. I
5:50
will be in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Why are you being punished? No?
5:59
I love Hot Springs. Okay. Oh so no one's like trying to
6:03
boil you. No, no, no, no, The boilings all self
6:09
inflicted. You're going on it's you're going on vacation. Yes, wow,
6:16
Yes, staying at the Arlington Hotel. Look at you, mister big time
6:21
radio job. I get vacation. I wouldn't say get vacation. You're gonna
6:28
have to claw out a little hunk of vacation. It's not exactly vacation time.
6:33
But you're going to be someplace else that's not work right. I will
6:36
not be chained to the board for at least five days. So you're gone
6:43
out of town. You're taking a trip, You and you and your you
6:46
and your lady going for a romantic weekend in Arkansas. Yes. I think
6:49
we're gonna leave, probably the night of the fourth. It only takes four
6:53
hours to get up there. Um, we're gonna stay at Arlington Hotel.
6:59
We're gonna take advantage of all the bath houses that they've opened. Um places
7:03
hot oh, bath houses, Hot Springs. Never mind, I was thinking
7:06
tawdry. I mean there are places if you go behind the mountain. There
7:13
are places to go to get that if you want. But as long as
7:15
you stay in in uh the magic valley there, valley of vapors, then
7:20
everything's everything's on the up and up, all right. But don't go around
7:25
to the mossy side of the mountain. Yeah, yeah, that's actually what
7:30
they call it. They call it the back side of the mountain. Of
7:34
course they do. Hey, well, you know, if you if you
7:40
want some ass, you got to go to the back side of the mountain.
7:43
So on July seventh, you will not be able to be there at
7:46
the road show. You'll be uh, you'll be in Arkansas with with your
7:51
lady doing romantic things. Yes, well, good, good for you.
7:56
Congratulations. How long the two you've been together now since October of twenty nineteen.
8:03
Wow, now you're just showing off in front of a single Trey.
8:07
Yeah, and you know what, hats off to you? Have you survived
8:13
a fairly new relationship, survived the pandemic. Good on you. Yeah,
8:18
because unfortunately Trey had a relationship that survived the pandemic, but it didn't survive
8:22
much after the pandemic. No, that's the relationship, right, not her
8:31
yes, okay, just making sure although Jerry, keep in mind it wasn't
8:35
a total loss. I mean, Trey's X gotta gotta got a nice porsh
8:37
out of the deal. Yeah, oh really, m yeah, I'm not
8:41
sure. We still haven't figured out whether or not the money Drey had been
8:46
giving her went towards that porch, but we're just assuming that it did.
8:52
Seriously, though, I'm actually really happy for you, Jerry, being able
8:56
to you know, keep a girl, keep a job, get to go
8:58
on vacation. I know, so much different than this time last year.
9:03
This time last year, it was I was looking looking pretty bad. Well,
9:07
this time last year, I had a job in vacation. I'm starting
9:13
to see where it happened here. I see, I think what happened Trey
9:16
is I got Jerry a job back, and then he submarined me, Oh,
9:22
there's a balance, because you do live in paradise, so exactly.
9:26
Yeah, I guess it is kind of a scoreboard type situation. Yeah,
9:31
yeah, it doesn't suck. I'll be honest with you. So what are
9:35
you gonna do on the vacation? What's there to do in Hot Springs?
9:37
So you go around? Do you go to like different tubs or what.
9:39
I've never I've never been to Arkansas intentionally. Arkansas is a beautiful, beautiful,
9:50
beautiful place. Hot Springs is look. Hot Springs is located in the
9:54
middle of the Washitaw Mountains. It's literally, oh sorry, I did the
10:01
thing there. I know. It's it's an old throwback, and that's not
10:05
actually something I say very often. It's uh. They call it like the
10:09
mineral capital of the planet because every single kind of crystal or rock or anything
10:13
that you can find pretty much anywhere in the world, you can find it
10:16
to some degree in Arkansas. Really, so rockhounding is big there, going
10:22
out digging for crystals, big big I've dug big quartz crystals out there and
10:26
the mines around Hot Springs. Man, it's I can just I can just
10:33
feel the excitement coming from your girlfriend's loins when you tell her we're gonna go
10:37
rockhounding. Actually, she's all about it. She's really just like, Yeah,
10:41
she's nerdly just like I am. Dirt for rocks, just like you
10:45
do. Oh yes, yes, pulling Mother Nature apart with your bare hands
10:50
and pulling shiny's out of it. Yeah, that's awesome. How long has
10:54
she been collecting her fingernail trimmings. She has yet to collect any. Well,
11:00
that's probably because you have more more than enough for the two of you.
11:03
It's as a matter of fact, I found it pretty funny. I
11:05
was telling doctor Scott Thornton this at the Trash Bash that when, as usual,
11:13
when we went on our first date, I pulled him out your fingernail
11:18
clippings. Thank you, Ty, I was pulled him out on the first
11:20
date. Here. It's one of those things where it's like you on the
11:26
first date and there's a second one, we're good, you know. Well
11:31
also, not only that, but if if if you pull out your fingernail
11:35
collection on the first date and it doesn't immediately end the first date, that's
11:39
that's a pretty good start for you. And speaking of a good start,
11:43
Trey, this is a good thing that you no longer have to worry about
11:46
when it comes to the road show on July seventh at Daddy Rabbit's Pub in
11:52
Louisville. Is since Jerry won't be there, neither will his fingernails. Because
11:54
I don't think Jerry and the fingernails have ever been separate in the what is
12:00
it eighteen years now that you've been doing a collection, yes, and no,
12:05
we have. We have never been a pot I've always had them in
12:11
some fashion some degree. Actually survived the tornado because they were in my in
12:16
my bag, hanging on the door the coat closet downstairs by the front door,
12:22
which is one of the only parts of the house that didn't get wrecked.
12:24
So you basically made sure to keep your You kept your tonail clippings inside
12:28
your emergency bug out bag kind of, yeah, all the priorities. I'm
12:35
pretty sure FEMA lists that you take all assential items in your bug out bag
12:41
in case of emergency. But yeah, when I showed her showed her the
12:45
collection, she asked me very similar questions that doctor Thornton asked me on the
12:50
show that time when russ I was talking to him about it, which was
12:54
why One of them is what's wrong with you? Is it? Is it
13:03
a compulsion? Can you not do it and not get angry? I was
13:07
like yeah, yeah. He's like, okay, do they bring you any
13:13
sexual pleasure? I was like, no, okay, do you have any
13:18
interest in collecting anyone else's? And I said no, And then doctor Thornton
13:20
looks at him, was like, oh, he's not is he's just fucking
13:22
weird? And she she asked me basically the same questions. I mean,
13:35
that is throwing down the gauntlet on a first date. And if she stays
13:39
around, I'd say you have a keeper. That's yeah, absolutely for both
13:43
theater nerds and creative types and kind of awkward sometimes. Jerry, what because
13:54
I don't know this story? What was the impetus behind you beginning to collect
13:58
your anger nail trimmings? It started out as a simple science experiment. I
14:05
was just interested in seeing how much of that stuff, my fingernails and toenails
14:11
that I grew in a year. It was only supposed to last for a
14:13
year. I started it on my birthday eighteen years ago, when I was
14:18
thirty, on my thirtieth birthday, and I was just going after that was
14:22
done, I was just going to put them all together and weigh it up
14:24
and take some notes. And I was just I was just curious because at
14:28
the time, there wasn't really like a good resource. You know, you
14:31
find online it'll tell you that they grow this much, and you know,
14:35
so on and so forth. But I just wondered, like, empirically,
14:39
how much am I actually producing? And then at the end of the year,
14:43
I couldn't stop here. I am eighteen years later. Have you started
14:48
up a new can yet? I have to get a new can now,
14:52
no more, we're going to fit in there. Have you done? Have
14:56
you done anything else scientific? Like I said, Well, if I take
15:00
this supplement, it gives you extra growth. I've I actually I've never tried
15:05
that before. I've never taken anything specifically for carroton production. And now you've
15:13
got his nails turning tree. Good job, because now he's gonna he's gonna
15:16
start looking into it fine things. So that way he gets to produce more
15:20
and therefore trim more and therefore save more, and then also have more to
15:24
chase you around with. There'll be two in each hand, one in each
15:28
hand. Oh, then it will be like moroccas. I will tell you
15:33
this, and I don't know why I'm telling you this, but collagen supplement
15:39
at least makes my nails grow faster. So okay, you know what this
15:43
reminds me of, Trey. This reminds me of when your dad would tell
15:48
you to go get belt belt. Yeah, so I got my own switch
15:52
exactly, so right there, you just you just played into Jerry's hands and
15:54
toe nails by saying, you know what, I know he's gonna do something
15:58
to me with these things. But here's a way to grow even more of
16:02
the things that make you nauseous. Try you really are gletton for punishment?
16:06
I am, but I have thought of a secret weapon to bring to uh
16:11
keep Jerry from terrorizing me. Garlic. Oh that does work? Crucifix?
16:18
Huh what garlic? CHRISTI m M. The garlic doesn't work. There was
16:23
a when I was growing up, there was a lady that lives He's been
16:27
tested on him. She she hung a big thing of garlic on her front
16:32
porch, try and keep me away. It didn't work. So Trey,
16:33
what do you have to keep Jerry at bay? You want to see it?
16:37
I do, and you can hear it too. Dustbuster your treehouse OnAir
16:52
dot com. Let's welcome into the treehouse our friend and sponsor, Rodney Anderson.
17:06
His phone number, which you are a force going to need his nine
17:08
seven two nine eight five fifty two hundred. The website Rodney Anderson dot com.
17:14
Coming to you live from a Smoothie King drive through Rodney Anderson. There's
17:18
been a lot of hail lately in North Texas, and that means insurance deductibles
17:22
that people are having to pay. But you can actually you can actually help
17:26
with that, can't you. Well, let's talk about a cash out refinance.
17:29
We had a client call that lived in the Lantana area. Their deductibles,
17:33
their cars got roomed to their house, the roof of the house and
17:37
everything. They had a twenty thousand dollars deductible for everything and dan the challenge
17:42
was they had no room on their credit cards. They had a thousand dollars
17:45
in savings. So they get a cash out refinance with US to pay off
17:49
all their credit cards, get the twenty thousand dollars, and now they have
17:53
to have windows in their house as well, so they pulled an additional fifty
17:56
thousand dollars out to do all at one time. They lived in Lantana.
18:00
Like I said, their home value gone up to nine hundred thousand. They
18:03
only o two hundred thousand dollars on their mortgage, so they were able to
18:07
do a cash out refinance, get it all roped into one, and now
18:11
they have breathing room down the road. Because let's face it, life happens
18:14
sometimes. My wife I bought a used car for her two weeks ago.
18:18
We're at a restaurant the other night. She's got eighteen things in her car.
18:22
Because of the hell, bad things happen really good people, and so
18:25
you're just sitting there going, what's my opportunities? What can I do to

20:00
COOKEDFW dot com. Trey, Why, why the hell do you have
20:03
a dustbuster in your bedroom? Like? What is happening in your bedroom?
20:12
Where the way it looked when you reached for the dustbuster, it looked like
20:18
you have the wall mount like it's like spring loaded. It's ready for action
20:22
at a moment's notice in case of an emergency dustball, You've got the dustbuster
20:27
ready to go, like like John Wick of cleaning. Do you want the
20:34
truth? I'll make up an up. Yes, Uh, start with the
20:41
made up reason, right, So if we can guess, scares the crap
20:48
out of girls when you do it to them in the middle of the night.
20:49
Okay, not bad, not bad. That's a lot better than I
20:52
was I was thinking. I thought, I've thought that was funny looking hicky,
20:56
Well, I was afraid that your real doll had been used up so
20:59
much that it was just dry. You just you just wore her out,
21:03
and it's like, oh and times are tight, so you can't buy a
21:07
new one because you know, real dolls are expensive, So you just got
21:11
to keep the dustbuster ready when you are And the real actual reason is the
21:22
cat litter box. Ah, so instead of scooping the kiddy stuff out of
21:32
the cat box, you just use the dustbuster to suck it up into it.
21:36
No. No, I was actually hoping that was the reason, because
21:40
I would love that to be the case. I really, really, and
21:41
I cannot stress this enough, really hate cleaning a cat box. So if
21:45
there's a machine that can just do it in a matter of seconds, I'd
21:49
be all about it. I mean, you could use a shot back,
21:55
I guess you could. It's actually not a bad idea. Ideally I could
22:00
do it to where there's litter left, to where I don't have to replace
22:03
the litter each time. But I just got to shake it a little bit
22:07
up. Yeah, because I've I've I've I have experienced with the the the
22:12
automatic catbox things that once the kitty is done, it leaves and then the
22:18
little machine moves across the box and scoops it for you. That thing never
22:22
works. It always gets it, it just doesn't work. I've never had
22:25
a good experience with set. I think I'm like in the shopback version.
22:30
Yeah. No, my cat just likes to get in the litter box and
22:33
then uh kick it all over the place. And for some reason, and
22:38
after he's done, he can't just stroll out like a normal cat. He
22:42
has to take off like you know, something bit him in the litter box
22:47
and there's a trail of litter everywhere. All right. That makes sense because
22:51
you're probably like me, the last thing you want to do is if because
22:52
you're in your bedroom typically barefoot, hate the feeling of the of the sandy
23:00
ox or the sandy urine crystals out of the cat box on your bare feet.
23:04
Yeah, I mean, yeah, every time you walk around barefoot,
23:08
and you're wiping your feet and you know, a little cat litter pieces are
23:15
falling off. It's gross. So you've got all hardwoods in your house,
23:18
Trey, pretty much? Yeah? Nice? So Trey, when you go
23:25
on when you go on first dates? Not the not the most recent one
23:27
withithstanding that ended abruptly because she found out you moisturize and therefore not mainly enough.
23:34
What oh yeah, sorry, Jerry. So uh. One of the
23:40
briefest dates in the history of Trey's love life occurred recently, and it ended
23:47
abruptly because Trey told her that he moisturizes, and she didn't think that was
23:51
mainly so Tray said, good night. Oh no, no, no,
23:56
but you you don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Brother.
23:59
I am. I am team moisturize right here. I have a whole skin
24:03
routine. I got a shower routine, the whole thing. It's also not
24:07
the first time that Jerry's alluded to it puts the lotion on the skin.
24:11
It's true. He has a special basket for it. Also true to seem
24:18
So anyway, where was that going with that, Trey moisturizer first date?
24:23
First date? Oh yeah, So when when you go on dates and you
24:26
tell because I know that your biggest angle to getting dates is Daisy, your
24:33
Chihuahua, who I swear to God there you probably have to be careful with
24:37
your dustbuster that you don't suck Daisy into the dustbuster because she is that small
24:44
she is. She is like a three pound panty dropper, there is no
24:48
doubt. But I wonder when you tell the ladies that you also have a
24:52
cat, does that help a little bit or is that sort of a is
24:56
that a non factor? You know, cats are one of those things that
25:03
it's a real fifty fifty proposition. I mean, if you don't like a
25:07
really cute dog, especially it's a three pound dog, then I don't want
25:11
anything to do with you anyways. But cats are like other things that you
25:17
know, some people love them, some people hate them, and uh,
25:18
it's sos is the cat discussion almost like having the politics discussion on a first
25:23
date is going to go one way or the other. And it's going to
25:26
be hard right or hard left. Yeah, pretty pretty much. Cats and
25:32
politics. Man, it's gonna end relationships. I mean the U I usually
25:37
don't I ease that one in because also if I bring a stranger. If
25:45
anyone's strange comes into my place, Julius is hiding for a good twenty four
25:49
hours. He he just doesn't like other people. So I sometimes you can
25:55
get away with that until the second date and then or if they come in
25:59
and then they're like, why do you have cat litter all over the place,
26:00
I'm like, oh, my cats an a hole. The next time
26:03
someone does that and ask why do you have cat litter all over the place,
26:07
you need to tell them all the toilet's broken. So if you need
26:14
to go, let me know. I got you a special box. You
26:19
know what good enough for the Motley crew? Uh chicks. Yeah, if
26:27
it's good at next to it? So anyway, paper roller next to it,
26:41
you just squat over there, let it air dry. Uh, put
26:48
a little bit day on the side of it. But uh but yeah,
26:52
that's uh. Cats are just like I said, they're one of those things.
27:00
Unless you know someone says they're allergic to them, it's like, all
27:03
right, well that's uh, then you're out. Uh you know, because
27:10
I'm I'm not getting rid of the cat. So you know, if I'm
27:15
online dating, that's when you know I I do look for that. If
27:18
someone says, I don't like dogs, I don't like cats. Whatever,
27:21
you know, I don't care how hot you are. I'm You're out.
27:25
It's not gonna work. Yep. Well, your your profile photo on the
27:30
whatever app that you're on for for online dating, is it just of you?
27:36
Or do you incorporate Daisy you'r Chihuala into the photo to you know,
27:40
because you're cheating, or or maybe the cat as well, Like what's what's
27:44
your profile photo? Game? Look like? The profile photo will be just
27:48
me, but I will definitely put pictures of Daisy in any profile because you
27:56
know, I don't have I don't have that much going on to really do
28:00
much, but you know, Daisy will push me over the edge and you
28:03
know, push me into a different weight class, as it were, when
28:06
it comes to dating. It's amazing to think that you add three pounds and
28:10
it sends you right into the next the next tier. Yeah, so I
28:14
have I have a proposition here, and I'm not sure, Trey, you
28:15
may end up hating this, and that's kind of partly My hope is you've
28:21
been singing now for a while. Jerry has not. Jerry has been for
28:25
many years now something of a swordsman when it comes to the ladies, so
28:29
much so that on the radio show when we would mention him, we gave
28:33
him theme music and so it was it was a hot stepper song that would
28:37
come on when Jerry would, you know, open the microphone. So my
28:41
proposition, especially now that we know that Jerry will not be at the road
28:48
show July seventh, we need to start working now because times of the essence.
28:53
My proposition is this, Trey, you are single, Jerry, you
28:59
are not an Even if you were, you'd be. I've been near you
29:03
when you're single. You're just you're successful at it. I think you.
29:07
I think Trey needs a romance coach or a dating coach, and I think
29:11
Jerry you would be the best, worst idea to to to take on that
29:18
role. I'm okay with that. I'm not perfect. This makes me happy,
29:27
This brings me joy. So, Jerry, what would you do?
29:30
What would you do to uh? Because you've navigated you know, twenty first
29:34
century dating. Um, I mean granted Toby, but uh, not nearly
29:40
as recently as you have. So what would you recommend for Trey to start
29:47
doing or to start doing differently? You know, to get him off the
29:51
sidelines and into the game. Uh, well, you know I had the
30:00
radio show behind me, so that was there was there was a lot of
30:03
power there. That does help a lot. We all have experience with that.
30:07
The radio show does does help in that arena. Um, I don't
30:11
feel like Trey, if you put in your your headline or whatever on on
30:18
online dating. Let me tell you about my podcast ISRAELI is gonna be very
30:26
effective. Um. So what do you think then, Jerry? Should we
30:32
just go just start making stuff up or what? Well? I mean,
30:37
eventually you're gonna have to justify that profile. Um. You know, um
30:47
going to the places where people are doing things that don't require a whole lot
30:53
of attention on their part so that they you know, can see who walls
30:57
around them. Um, don't be afraid to like have your swagger tray?
31:08
How is your swagger limited? All right? Jerry, I think we found
31:15
an area of concern. No, brother, sell it. It sounds like
31:21
it sounds like we need to get Trey swag back. Yeah. I think
31:26
my swagger get uh taken from me? Um, who took your swag tray?
31:32
What's her life? I understand? Yeah, that will happen. Uh,
31:38
Jerry, did you meet your girl like online or out? I met
31:44
her at the pool hall that I frequent. She was the waitress. Interesting,
31:52
yeah, and she had so you had like you, she had been
31:56
waiting on you for a while and then you worked your way up or just
32:02
or just wore her down. I'm curious to see which way this goes.
32:08
Actually I was she first started working there at the at the bull hall.
32:15
I uh, the guy that was my roommate, he was the bouncer,
32:22
and uh, he introduced me to her just briefly, and I sent her
32:27
a Facebook friend request. Oh yeah, sexy so and that I'm sorry,
32:31
go ahead. That sat there for about eight months unrequited. Wow. Now
32:39
then do you know did she just not check Facebook that often? Or you
32:44
were just she wasn't sure. I was just accepting it. I was just
32:49
another one of the many. You know, she's one of the man like
32:53
it like it did. Was she used to like pulling trains or are you
32:58
talking? Like lots of guys sent her requests a lot, so she just
33:01
ignored them all. I mean, there's just a lot lots of guys sent
33:04
her friend requests. Okay, that was my hell book A good yes,
33:07
yes, she's she's very popular up there. Um, I mean, I
33:15
let me. I'll give you. I'll give you a lot of credit,
33:16
Jerry, because anyone, you know, females that work in the service industry,
33:22
Dan, your wife did, and they get hit on all the time.
33:24
So you have to have a fairly you know, you have that fairly
33:29
good BS to get through. Yeah, because they've pretty much heard it all.
33:31
Well that's the thing. There was no bs. I don't I really,
33:36
I really don't. So Jerry's game is to not spit game exactly.
33:43
Just talk to them, engage them like you would anybody else in any situation.
33:49
And you know, just while occasionally making Crewe gestures, yeah, you
33:58
know, one or two just on acsion, just so they know that you're
34:00
not going for the friend zone. And I mean, that's that That's always
34:06
my biggest thing. Just do whatever it is that you're gonna do. You
34:12
know, even if that's you know, I want to talk to you got
34:15
to you know, buy a drink. In her case, you want to
34:17
go see Willie Nelson. Um, that that was what you and that that
34:24
was what you threw at her to ask her out for the first time.
34:27
Is do you want to go see Willie Nelson. Yes, when he came
34:30
back to uh, damn it, what is it? In Fort Worth?
34:36
Billy Bob's. He was celebrating the anniversary of his live album at Billy Bob's
34:43
and I had tickets to that, and I asked her, was like,
34:44
hey, I want to go see Billy Bob's. And we sat there and
34:47
chit chatted for a few minutes, and she said, I'm going to give
34:51
you the hardest maybe I have ever given anyone. I was like, all
34:54
right, that's fair, and I got up and I went to talk to
35:00
Quinn, who was my roommate, and I said, we're going to see
35:02
Willie, even though even though she had just said maybe, right, all
35:07
right, so we're playing fast and loose, fast and loose with the with
35:10
consent here. No, I was just I was. I was like,
35:15
you're playing you're playing fast and loose with consent. It's like, oh no,
35:17
she's going no, no, no. I wouldn't like that at all.
35:23
So then what finally pushed her over the edge to go to see Willie.
35:28
I just kept going in there and taking an opportunity to talk to her,
35:31
and you know, I asked her about a bastard about herself, and
35:37
she actually accepted my friend's request. And I found out that we were both
35:40
theater nerds, and we both like musical theater, and you know, so
35:44
we hit chatted about that a lot. We both have the same favorite musical
35:49
Sweetie Todd. So, Trey, I understand this sounds like none of this
35:55
would ever possibly work and and and in it it shouldn't, but it's Jerry
36:00
and it does. So the thing is, though, to keep in mind,
36:04
she's not right for you, Trey, because I know Trey that you
36:07
don't give a damn about Sweeney Todd and a barber of Seville. But that
36:15
was something that he's the demon barber of Fleet Street where we're Saville's an opera.
36:21
Ah, look are you getting schooled? Dan? Is he a barber?
36:28
You could say that, yes, well, then close enough. The
36:32
point is Trey doesn't care about the musical side of that of that side.
36:37
What you're saying holds true is that basically Jerry's your tactic was too h wear
36:45
her down over time and take genuine interest in her. Yes, I don't
36:54
even wearing down part. I mean I can take no it sounds like you
37:01
can, but you don't. I'm going to say that I don't have to
37:06
take it very often. All of a sudden, you sounded like you got
37:09
in the middle of a deposition. It kind of felt like that a little
37:15
bit, a little bit of sweat start to come across the brow. Well,
37:22
I just, hey, I'm I'm not good especially you know, my
37:29
life has has been for the last five years running a bar and tried not
37:34
to crap where I eat as it were, and do a lot of picking
37:38
up of women there and so. But my problem is is I just I
37:45
have one one big negative and you know it's hard to overcome that, and
37:53
that is I'm an assule. This is true, it's very feat accurate.
38:00
Yeah about you little listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse on
38:07
air dot com. All right, let's welcome into the Treehouse. Daniel Cook
38:22
from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. Their phone number eight three three Cook DFW.
38:28
The website is, of course cook dfw dot com. So, Daniel,
38:31
I know things have been pretty pretty hectic lately because all that hail that
38:37
everyone got in North Texas really did a number on some roofs. Right,
38:40
Dan, you are not kidding Man, we have been really, really busy
38:44
this year. Unfortunately, we have seen some traumatic damage all through the metroplex.
38:50
We've had some large hails. You know, probably since twenty sixteen,
38:53
I haven't seen hells this size. So this is a big year. Um.
38:58
You know, we had some speculation in the beginning that we are going
39:00
to have a mount monster year because of the La Nina and El Nino kind
39:05
of phase and the temperatures of the ocean warming up. And I tell you
39:09
they are right. We are having a record year. And it's really good
39:13
to get your homes protected. We're seeing a ton of leaks, a ton
39:15
of shingles being flown off of homes, just multiple damages everywhere, man,
39:21
And it is really smart. Even if someone thinks that they don't have any
39:23
visible damage, there's no water coming through the roof, there's no shingles in
39:27
the yard. If a severe storm hit and you saw hail on the ground,
39:30
especially of a decent size, it's a good idea to go ahead and
39:32
give you a call at eight through three Cook at the FW to take advantage
39:37
of that free roof inspection. Right, absolutely, Dan. We've had probably
39:40
one hundred calls in the last you know, a couple of weeks and and
39:44
believe it or not, you know, maybe only thirty percent of those are
39:47
calls that probably need a roof. So there's a lot of roofs out there
39:51
that don't need to be replaced, that just maybe need to repair to.
39:53
But it's a piece of mind because you don't want to be behind the eight
39:58
ball later on you have the leaks happening in the middle of your party at
40:01
your house, probably give Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration a call to make sure
40:06
your roof is ready to withstand everything mother nature will throw at it. Eight

eight. The website is Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com. Now, Jacqueline,
40:32
there were lots of storms over the last week, and I know typically when
40:36
people really need a plumber it's after the winter storms because pipes are frozen.
40:38
But you know, when it gets hotter, and after even summer storms,
40:43
people realize, you know what, I got plumbing problems in the summer as
40:45
well. That's really true. Last night, after hours, I was walking
40:50
around my own house doing laundry, cleaning up and my phone rang and I
40:52
had a phone call from a very distressed gentleman and he said, Hey,
40:55
I just went to use my garden host for the first time this summer because
41:00
it's so hot and it's leaking in the wall when I turn it on.
41:02
And I asked him, you know, is this the first time you've tried
41:06
to use this hook up since the last freeze we had, and he said
41:09
yes, And I said, well, I said, honestly, it probably
41:12
bursts during that freeze and you didn't know because it only leaks when you turn
41:16
it on, and this is the first time you've gone to use it,
41:19
And no big deal. We can fix it. We're actually going to fix
41:22
it while he's at work on Monday, so it doesn't even have to be
41:24
there. We're going to do everything from outside. But honestly, I know
41:28
we're way in advance. But the best piece of advice I can give to
41:30
anybody in prepping for a freeze is unhook your garden hoses from your hose bibs.
41:35
Just unhook them. That's one of the bare minimum things you need to
41:37
do. But he just found out in June, so people still are finding
41:40
the fallout from all these freezes we've been having. So this is another great
41:45
reason to contact Rooks Plumbing because not only their knowledge, but they're gonna get
41:47
you ready for the next wave of things, so maybe you don't have to
41:52
call them in the future. Kind of a weird business model, but it
41:54
works for so give them a call for any and all of your plumbing needs.

a long time. What's that Jerry known Jacqueline for a long time. That's
43:02
right, Jacqueline is the big boss lady there at Brooks Plumbing, And like
43:09
most people that know you, Jerry, no joking here, she speaks very
43:13
highly of you. And I also don't think anyone holds it against you either,
43:16
right, No one holds it against her. I don't hold it against
43:19
her that she knows you. What about that she speaks highly of him,
43:25
that's a different story altogether. It's it's still a new sponsor, Tray.
43:30
I don't want to piss her off right away, all right. So yes,
43:35
here we are back in the treehouse with Jerry caldwellf are one of our
43:39
former associate producers of the radio show that we did back in the day,
43:44
and he still likes to pop in the treehouse on occasion to gloat about still
43:47
having a job in radio. And then he'll he'll leave the treehouse and run
43:52
away with his girlfriend Arkansas to make Trey feel bad about himself, and then
43:57
won't be attending the road show, which makes us sad, but that's okay.
44:00
We want you to be able to enjoy your life, Jerry, enjoy
44:04
your life. Speaking of the road show, that will be Friday, July
44:07
seven, from five to seven pm at Daddy Rabbits Pub in Louisville. That's
44:14
pretty much it right now. I mean, well, we'll be getting lots
44:16
of fun things planned for the day itself. It'll be we'll be doing a
44:22
live recording there at the Daddy Rabbits Pub in Louisville, and then that's on
44:27
Friday five to seven, and then that episode will then drop the following Monday,
44:32
so that's how that works. It'll be a lot of fun, So
44:35
market on your calendars be sure to come and see us do the show live,
44:38
and you'll be in the show in the background and or maybe even on
44:43
it somehow. I haven't figured out all the details of all the things that
44:45
we'll be doing, but it'll be fun. And of course they've got food
44:49
and drink, so that makes everything better as well. If you're single and
44:52
you think Trey is hot, we can probably work something out there as well.
44:59
Oh god, yeah, so this doesn't apply to any of us.
45:07
But I saw something interesting and I wanted to share it with you guys,
45:09
because it's you know, we're friends. You find you find something interesting,
45:14
you want to share it with your buddy. So that's what I'm gonna do
45:15
right now. Did you guys know that in nineteen twenty the United States Post
45:23
Office decided that children may not be sent in the mail I do in the
45:32
twenties. Yeah, okay, yeah, that's uh should be pretty obvious.
45:38
Then at this point, if if the Post Office had to come out and
45:42
say you can't mail your children, that means somebody did right, like,
45:46
no exceptions. It wasn't like you can't mail them unless there's a certain number
45:51
of air holes or I don't know if they were some kind of padding or
45:54
something. I don't know if they were that considerate back then. This from
45:59
Ships This from the Smithsonian. One of the most overlooked yet most significant innovations
46:04
of the early twentieth century might be the Post Office's decision to start shipping large
46:08
parcels and packages through the mail. While private delivery companies flourished during the nineteenth
46:15
century, the parcel post dramatically expanded their reach of mail order companies to America's
46:21
many rural communities, as well as the demand for their products. When the
46:23
post Offices parcel post officially began on January one, nineteen thirteen, the news
46:29
service suddenly allowed millions of Americans great access to all kinds of goods and services.
46:34
But almost immediately it had some unintended consequences, and some parents tried to
46:39
send their children through the mail. According to the United States Postal Service historian
46:47
Jenny Lynch, she told The Smithsonian it got some headlines when it happened,
46:52
probably because it was so cute. Just a few weeks after the parcel post
46:58
began, an Ohio couple named Jesse and Matilda Beagle mailed their eight month old
47:04
son James to his grandmother, who lived a few miles away. According to
47:09
Lynch, baby James was just shy of the eleven pound weight limit for packages
47:15
sent via parcel post, so his delivery cost his parents only fifteen cents in
47:20
postage, although they did ensure him for fifty dollars. Oh that's good,
47:24
that's good. They could have head there. The story soon made newspapers,
47:30
and for the next several years, similar stories would occasionally surface as other parents
47:36
followed suit by mailing their children places and the next few years, stories about
47:44
children being mailed through rural routes would crop up from time to time as people
47:46
pushed the limits of what could be sent through the mail. In one famous
47:51
case, February nineteen, nineteen fourteen, a four year old girl named Charlotte
47:55
May Pierstaff was mailed via train from her home in Rangeville, Idaho, to
48:00
her grandparents' house, around seventy three miles away. Her story became so legendary
48:07
that it was even made into a children's book, Mailing May I smell a
48:15
Netflix reboot. Oh Jesus, things like this, when you hear about it,
48:23
or when you see okay, hey, on this date in history,
48:28
it was decided you can't do this. You know, it's because someone did
48:31
it, and this is one of the great and terrible examples of it.
48:38
But I get it. I like to think that even back in the early
48:43
in the early nineteen hundreds, like that, kids were driving their parents so
48:45
crazy that they threatened them with mailing them to their grandparents. Let's play a
48:52
game. Get in the box, see t you, Trey. It was
48:59
a game. To May it was real life. Be sure to follow all
