1:53
the Dallas Comedy Club. The segment is brought to you by the Dallas Comedy
1:57

2:01

2:07
Dimmers this coming weekend December first and second at the Dallas Comedy Club in dp
2:14
Ellam, your new home for comedy in DFW. DJ's been on the Tonight
2:19
Show with Jimmy Fallon, America's Got Talent. Been on Conan O'Brien, talented
2:24
comedian at the Dallas Comedy Club this weekend in d f Ellam. Funny happens
2:29
here Dallas dash Comedy Club dot com. So I ran a poll on Twitter
2:42
the night of Thanksgiving, and that was asking the very very important question who
2:51
looked better the Dallas Cowboys or Dolly Parton. I like how you guys had
3:04
different answers there, because Dolly Dolly Parton's opponent is far more significant in that
3:09
it's age time and age are a far better opponent than the Washington Redskins.
3:15
Yes, can I just say it? Yeah, and I'll be I'll be
3:23
the one to do it. I'll honest. I you know, I don't
3:30
care how how good a shape you're in, just don't wear that outfit at
3:38
seventy seven. Just don't just don't. I don't, it's not I just
3:42
that's I can't un see it now. And for me, like the Donalds
3:46
cow Wood cheerleader uniform is like I see it on Halloween and it's always like,
3:53
you know, not a seventy seven year old. Why was she holding
3:58
onto the wall so? Like? What was going on? Like what she
4:00
having a hard like I'm trying to figure out. The voice was impeccable and
4:04
her singing skill never never questioned, but I just thought like I was worried
4:10
for her because at one point, the reason that she was holding onto the
4:14
mirrored wall is because the stage that was built for her was not eighty eight
4:18
compliant and did not have those metal handy rails that they're supposed to. And
4:30
also even though they couldn't see them, I think that her trying to wear
4:33
the Cowboys cheerleader boots might have been a little too much. She could have
4:39
been wearing white crocs with like the white leather uppers or something just look like
4:46
the cheerleader boots. No one would have ever known. You never saw really
4:48
below her knees anyway. Yeah, I think it would have been awesome,
4:53
Like if there was a chairlift that brought her up onto the state, that
4:55
would have been fantastic too. No, but she, I mean, she
5:00
seems again, she seems in very good health and she looks good, and
5:02
God bless her surgeon and the many people, the team that it takes to
5:09
make all of that happen, the whole thing. But it just Uh,
5:13
I was worried just for her age and holding onto the wall, and she
5:16
was trying, and then uh, here's the thing. And I don't know
5:20
if we can call it out. Don't sing queen, don't, don't do
5:25
it, don't do it, don't don't I know, don't don't do it
5:29
because Freddie and Mercury had a difficult time singing his own songs. Yeah,
5:33
live, because studio when you're doing an album versus live are two vastly different
5:41
things. But the way I typically judge an artist is how much you sound
5:46
like the album version of you in person. If you can sound very close
5:51
to how you sound on the album in person, you get my stamp of
5:56
approval. Whether or not I even like the music, I just want to
5:59
know do you sound close to it. If you do, my hats off
6:01
and take my money. And my girlfriend looked at me and said, you
6:05
know, Freddy would have loved the fact that Dolly Parton was singing his songs.
6:11
And I said no, no, I said no. I said no
6:15
because I said he would want to be the only queen there. And that's
6:17
just a fact. He named the band, so he knew exactly. Like
6:24
I know, there's a lot there's a lot of people that will disagree with
6:29
me, and that's fine. I was just like, that's just not a
6:32
good We are the champions, let's not let's not do that. But that's
6:38
I mean, she's promoting her new album. Yeah, was there not a
6:42
different song? I mean, it's all she's covering rock hits, so I
6:46
I don't know all the content of the album, but yeah, hey,
6:50
you know, well you're seventy seven, and especially you also remember that stage
6:56
is something they erecked and move out there very quickly, so it may not
6:59
have been the most stable of things. That's what I was wondering. Was
7:01
it too, like limited space from where the lights were to where the back
7:06
of the stage was, so she couldn't really move but she was holding onto
7:11
the wall and I was like, well, then just don't move, so
7:15
I don't know her voice. I mean, just incredible. I mean,
7:19
she's always been just such a gifted singer and brilliantly and she's just a good
7:25
human, that's the other thing. She's phenomenal. So she did a very
7:29
brilliant thing before the before the show at halftime Cowboys versus Commanders, which of
7:34
course, obviously the Cowboys kick the crap out of the Commanders forty five to
7:38
ten. Yeah, she donated a million dollars to the Salvation Army. So
7:46
you, in effect, at that point, you're buying any sort of criticism
7:50
away. You like, look, you can criticize me holding onto the wall.
7:55
You can say, ooh, what's you know a seventy seven year old
7:58
woman doing wearing a cheerleader out fit. You can say, which some people
8:01
did, Okay, the lip sinkings over whatever. But at the end of
8:05
the day, she gets to say, I donated a million dollars to the
8:09
Salvation Army. Shut up. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's true.
8:13
And then yeah, you look like Fuddy Mercury left his estate to his cats.
8:16
So you're like, okay, Dolly, part of that million dollars is
8:22
great. But she also she donated a million dollars to the outfit that came
8:26
up with the COVID vaccine, so we can also thank Dolly for that.
8:31
So uh yeah, yeah, I mean, great humanitarian, great artist.
8:37
She was singing over her own track, which I mean, I think we
8:39
all figured that out by the first minute in her singing yeah, And guess
8:45
what, that's totally fine. Every major star does that these days because they
8:48
they pick and choose, they have a live mic, but then they sing
8:52
to their own backing track. It's still them singing. Yeah. That's the
8:56
nature of the game these days because it is so important nowadays to put on
9:01
such a phenomenal concert because that's where the artists makes so much of their money.
9:05
Now it's not so much on the album sales anymore. It's on those
9:07
tours. It's on those individual shows. So you want to put on the
9:11
best show possible. Whereas obviously Dolly's different. She's seventy seven. She's not
9:16
running around doing dance routines the way Beyonce and Taylor Swift are. Yeah,
9:20
so that's why they will sing to their backing tracks, because they're going to
9:24
be out of breath for a good chunk of the concert, but they still
9:28
want to be able to sing at points where they can and talk to the
9:33
audience. Yeah, and so I think it's more accepted nowadays. Yeah,
9:37
uh yeah, one hundred percent. You know, even Michael Jackson, who
9:43
had one of the greatest voices, would sing over his own tracks and sometimes
9:48
he would just mute his mike and lipsing because the dancing was so difficult.
9:50
But no, I mean I thought it was a good halftime show. I
9:54
thought it was. I was. I was worried because I was like,
9:58
I don't know if there's enough room, or if she is just unstable in
10:01
the shoes or it's just age. But overall, yeah, I mean it
10:07
was and regardless you want to talk about brilliant. Could you even monetize the
10:13
amount of social media exposure she's gotten in the last twenty four hours. Nope,
10:20
yeah there's yeah, there's no Yeah, that's yeah. I mean,
10:22
brilliant marketing, brilliant whoever, whoever her PR people are. It was.
10:28
It was great. It was just the whole thing was fantastic. I mean
10:31
overall, I was just worried, like I just didn't like the Queen cover.
10:35
I didn't Nine to five was cool. I've never seen the movie.
10:41
I just know the song at times out. You haven't seen any of the
10:45
major white people's staples, Raj. Yeah, I kind of grew up with
10:48
Indian people, So my mom is that why on your Instagram? Even posting
10:54
all the Bollywood superhero movies that I've only seen at Alamo draft House before the
11:00
actual movie comes on. I it's the Bollywood, It's the Bollywood Batman,
11:05
which, don't get me wrong. Yes, that's an electric dance that that
11:11
Bollywood Batman is doing. Yeah, Bollywood Superman can certainly cut a rug too.
11:18
Yeah. You know, I find I love my people, I love
11:24
the industry. I have friends that are film actors in India and when I
11:33
just see stuff like this and I'm like, what are we doing? Like
11:35
who greenlit this? Like who went here's a bag of money, go make
11:39
that movie. Make sure he's in the Superman costume, get him the But
11:46
what I love is that they don't waste money on the costumes themselves, because
11:50
like the Batman costume, the Superman costume, the things that you that you
11:54
see in the Bollywood versions of these films, those are the same costumes that
11:58
we go by spirit Halloween yes, and and and this is so that's why
12:05
I'm convinced my people came up with Spirit Halloween the store because I see those
12:11
and these are all like eighties and nineties, and I'm like, they had
12:13
this before the store existed. So that was some somewhere there was an Indian
12:16
guys like we got a market, like we can we can sell these?
12:22
Yeah, so that I did. We watched a lot of Bollywood. My
12:24
dad was the first one to show Indian movies in the theater here in in
12:31
North America. It was the first guy to do movies here. So I
12:35
grew up watching a lot of those. My dad never came home like,
12:37
you know what we should watch today? Nine to five? That was not
12:41
a That was not a movie though, Like I would watch the Bollywood version
12:46
of that though, yeah, I mean if there was, If there was
12:48
a Bollywood version of it, I'm sure we watched it. I don't know
12:52
what the movie's about, I do, I do. It probably wasn't nine
12:56
to five because the Indian people don't know forty hour work weeks. It might
13:03
be more like it might be just called Monday through Sunday nine to nine.
13:11
But isn't it Dabney Coleman was Yes, yeah, Tomlin, Jane Fonda.
13:16
It's basically about a misogynist boss who Yeah, I did see, I did
13:22
see the scene where they kill him, like they all fantasize about killing him
13:26
whatever it was. Trey said that again, a misogynist boss whatnot who terrorizes
13:31
say the whole thing again. Well, no, now I don't know what
13:35
I said. No, it's good. I'm not setting you up for anything.
13:39
Oh, it's a misogynist boss who terrorizes his three uh female employees.
13:45
Basically, if I remember, I haven't seen nine to five in years,
13:48
but had you not said female, we all would really identify with that film.
13:50
Well, that's that's why I wanted you to restart it. I got
13:56
it back looking at looking at Dolly Parton's rock Star album, which I remember
14:01
hearing about this, uh maybe a couple of years ago, at least at
14:07
least a year and a half ago, when the when the news came out
14:09
that she was going to be doing a rock album because at the time,
14:13
working at you know, ninety seven to one The Eagle in Dallas, it's
14:16
a rock station. Dolly Parton's going to do an entire album of massive rock
14:20
hits. We heard about it, right me take it to the track list,
14:24
because RAJ, you were saying that she had no business, you know,
14:26
trying to cover Queen, trying to do Friddy Mercury's voice, which,
14:31
by the way, very few people in the world could do that. I
14:35
didn't say she had no business. I said I didn't like, Oh you
14:39
did, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't like that she covered Queen.
14:43
It was it was it's just you just don't like there's certain songs you
14:46
get it's difficult, right, and another and you know who else you know,
14:48
another singer that I would throw into that pantheon of unless you have equal
14:54
vocal talent, don't even try, would be a Steve Perry from Journey,
14:58
Right. Yes, that's one of the other things that she covers on her
15:01
album. She actually does open Arms by Steve Perry other other So let's as
15:11
much as I love Steve Perry, let's not forget he got replaced by you
15:15
know, some tie guy that they've you know, saw on YouTube doing karaoke.
15:20
First, first of all, Trey, he's still a pen oh my
15:22
bad. Second of all, all that proves is there are only two people
15:28
were aware of on this planet that confront for journey two Yeah, two people
15:35
out of like seven something billions. Still pretty good? Is Steve Perry still
15:39
maybe crying in a corner into his piles of casual maybe a little bit,
15:45
but still that's that's one other guy his voice. But he lost his voice.
15:50
No, that wasn't true. That was a big, big smear tactic
15:56
from the rest of the band. He was. They were going on tour
15:58
because they wanted. So he wrote a lot of the songs, right,
16:02
I think almost all of them. So the royalties, he gets a bigger
16:06
chunk right than the rest of the band. So the rest of the mend
16:08
you make your money, like you were saying, Dan, touring and making
16:11
sure the concerts are amazing. And he was working out in Hawaii getting ready
16:17
for this tour because they are exhausting. So these guys do like Cardio and
16:21
they get in the gym and they work out. He was he was running,
16:26
luckily, he was near his house. He was running up the side
16:30
of a small mountain and his hip locked and he couldn't move, and turned
16:37
out he has a degenerative bone disease or whatever it was for his hip.
16:42
So he had to have a hip replacement, which was going to delay the
16:45
tour another six to eight months, and the band was like, fu,
16:49
we need to make money and found Arnell Pernaeda is the guy's name, and
16:56
he's a karaoke He was just a karaoke guy in the Philippine who made his
17:00
money, uh doing the voice of Steve Perry. So that's how they replaced
17:07
him. So uh yeah, that's other tracks on Yeah, some other tracks
17:11
on Dolly's rock album. Freebird by Lynyrd Skinnard. Okay, that's fine,
17:17
Magic Man by Ann Wilson, Let it be Paul McCartney Ringo Star, Every
17:22
Breath You Take by Sting. That's not a vocally challenging song necessarily compared to
17:26
some of these others either or by kid Rock. Oh no, definitely not
17:33
an operatic version. What else hit? I've never heard of that particular song.
17:41
I mean, honestly, if I'm going to, you know, if
17:45
I'm going to pay for Dolly parton covering a kid rock song, we all
17:48
can agree it's gonna it's got to be Bob with THEBA, right yeah,
17:52
yeah, or just don't do anything with kid Rock he's terrible, or she
17:59
can sing to Bob while she shoots cases of bud light with an automatic weapon
18:03
and then gets spotted probably drink. Yeah, my money is on Doling Dolly
18:08
being more accurate than than Kid Rock. Absolutely, is there any doubt that
18:14
you give an automatic weapon to Dolly Parton, She's going to be more accurate
18:17
with it than she used to shoot muskets. So yeah, most people don't
18:29
realize that that she was. She was the songs to set the front of
18:33
of pickets charge you're listening to. The Treehouse is online. That Treehouse on
18:45
air dot com this week at the Dallas Comedy Club from the Tonight Show Conan
18:55
O'Brien and America's Got Talent, it's DJ Dimmers. I love when I'm in
18:59
a public place and I do something amazing and somebody sees it. You have
19:03
like a random moment of greatness and there's witnesses. Doesn't even have to be
19:07
anything vague like you have you like a knock your hat off your head and
19:10
you like catch it behind your bag. Somebody sees it, like whatever.
19:17
I was at an airport and I was going through security and they wouldn't let
19:19
me take my water through. Very dangerous and so I chrugged my water and
19:25
then I was looking around for the nearest recycle bin. I found it was
19:27
like fifteen feet away, and I was like, I'm going for it,
19:33
and so I started aiming at There was no water left in this, you
19:36
know, it required a lot of precision, very light, and then the
19:38
actual bin just had a tiny little circle, just big enough for a can
19:41
or a bottle to go into a high degree of difficulty. But I'm like,
19:45
I'm doing this, I'm going for it. I throw it, perfect
19:47
rotation right in the hole just disappeared, and I mean they were like everybody
19:52
in line saw the whole thing go down, and uh, you know,
19:56
yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you. Yeah. I don't I
20:03
don't want to make up a story and say they all started clapping or something,
20:06
but uh, they wanted to. What a rash. That was eight
20:15
years ago. I still think about it every day. That's DJ Dimmers this

21:36
or cookdfw dot com. So we need to, uh, we need to
21:41
address the snoop in the room because last week, last week, we got
21:48
bamboozled, we got snookered or snoopered into believing the announcement that Snoop Dogg posted
21:56
on Instagram, saying that he was quick smoke and asked for privacy at this
22:03
time. Yeah, he was not actually quitting marijuana. He's just promoting a
22:12
smokeless fire pit. It was pretty good I got when he said, please
22:19
respect my privacy, my fani. No, no, don't give him credit.
22:22
He made fools out of us. We have to be angry. I
22:26
am mad, but if we're being psychologically accurate here, I'm not mad at
22:30
him. Deep down, I'm mad at myself for believing it and not looking
22:34
at it with more, you know, with a with a more discerning eye,
22:38
without suspicion. Because the idea that someone, as we discussed at length
22:45
last week, a man that smokes in the neighborhood of eighty one joints a
22:48
day and employees a small country for people to keep him supplied with marijuana,
22:55
which would have a massive effect not only on the California economy, but the
22:59
US as a whole. It was silly of us and me to buy hook
23:06
Line and singer that that he was quitting marijuana overnight. Instead, He's basically
23:11
pitching a smokeless fire pit. And I'm stupid. Yeah, but you get
23:17
me think about where it really is it is remarkable that he has come to
23:22
a point that a mid fifties rapper has become such a cultural icon that he
23:29
just puts out that little video and it's all everyone can talk about. I
23:33
mean it's on every national newscast, it's everywhere. Yeah. But the thing
23:38
I still can't grasp and I have, you know, I have friends,
23:41
as I'm sure you all do that that are big smokers of of the weed
23:48
we do. His name is. You don't have to pretend you can't hear
23:53
you a half pound a day as much beard animal yay weed. I mean
24:06
that's an enormous amount. Yeah that I imagine Snoop Dogg would say that about
24:12
you if he heard how much you would drink in a day. Well and
24:18
fair enough and yeah, but I mean even a half pound, that's a
24:22
lot. Like yeah, I mean even even the big smokers. I have
24:27
to be like, yeah, no, I'd be dead. Yeah no.
24:30
I mean I you have to basically be successful enough to where you're like,
24:37
I don't need to work anymore, so now I can dedicate all of my
24:40
day to smoking weed. That's what that is. You don't you got to
24:44
put in an eighteen hour day yeah, it really probably is the hardest he's
24:48
ever worked. Yeah, there's a there's a Bollywood actor who smokes. They
24:52
say, they say, uh, it's been He's known to smoke four packs
24:56
of cigarettes a day. And I'm like, when do you get time to
24:59
act more doable? Okay, I guess I've never done that, trying to
25:08
smoke four packs of cigars in a day. But yeah, and I will
25:12
give credit to Trey. He was trying to like he found this sounds stupid,
25:18
but the softer side of snoop uh, He's like, you know,
25:22
he's a grandpa. Maybe he wants to be a little more in tune with
25:26
his grandchildren, Like Trey was trying to justify. He Actually he has talked
25:30
about stuff like that. Like I said, there was a brief period where
25:34
he did quit, and but it wasn't he didn't make an announce or anything
25:40
else like I said. It was. I want to say it was one
25:41
of the guys from Earth Wind and Fire that had to talk to him.
25:45
It was talking to him. It was like, you know, you need
25:47
to knock that off. I used to do the same thing, and definitely
25:55
not the Wind either. I don't really think it could be earth either,
26:02
because you got to grow it somewhere. What's the other element that we're missing?
26:10
Water for the dry mouth, you can, you know. But yeah,
26:18
I mean like Trey was trying to find these and it was very sweet.
26:21
And then I saw the announcement. It was like, oh, for
26:22
a fire pit, hilarious. And then I started thinking about Trey when he's
26:26
like, you know, maybe he just wants to hang out with his grandkids,
26:27
and I was like, and it turns out, though, we don't
26:30
have to take that sweetness away from Tray Raj. And this is what I
26:33
mean by that. What Trey said about the softer, gentler side of Snoop
26:37
Dogg's still accurate by promoting a smokeless fire pit, because then that way,
26:45
you know, Snoop can still enjoy his marijuana around the fire pit. And
26:51
what good is a fire pit if it's just you. You need to have
26:53
friends and families surrounding it. So it's Snoop smoking his weed, showing his
26:59
great kids how to properly you know, roll joints. Yeah, but it's
27:04
it's without the irritation of a smoke from a fire pit getting in the way.
27:10
Yeah, that's what I think the smoke was fire pit, except for
27:12
when you add Snoop then it's just it's just a fire pit with with different
27:17
kind of smoke. I mean, this is this is the guy that was
27:19
the face of gangster rap thirty years ago and is now. You know,
27:25
he's still married to his high school sweetheart, dad granddad, buddies with mar
27:30
I mean, he's besties with Martha Stewart. Like, yeah, you are
27:33
talking about I mean, like I said in the in the early nineties,
27:38
I mean I never forgot like MTV News would cut in and do specials back
27:42
if anyone remembers when you know Kurt Loder all about you know, Snoop's murder
27:48
trial everything else. I mean, he was the face of gangster rap.
27:51
He was like enemy number one. Now he's best he's with the whitest woman
27:55
of white women. And when you say and when you say gangster rap,
27:57
it's just it's so white. I appreciate its time. That is what it
28:06
what it was filed under. I agree with you. It's an automated term,
28:10
but at the time, that's what it was. Yeah, yeah,
28:12
yeah, I mean in Trey's defense, there was there was one other white
28:17
man that would say gangster rap with way more whiteness, and it was in
28:19
fact Kurt Loader. Yeah, that is true. Uh he was he was
28:26
old then he was. I don't know if was the A of MTV,
28:33
yes, but I don't know. If you know this, Kurt Loader was
28:37
the story runner for Walter Cronkite. If that if if you want to age
28:41
yourself like I just did right now, he was the story runner for Walter
28:45
Cronkite. I'm like, how do you get the job at MTV when you're
28:47
like, what's your resume? I used to work for Walter Cronkite, you
28:51
know what? Getting here? Loader? You know what, though, I
28:55
can understand why, I can understand why Bob Pittman, who's you know,
28:57
the current you know, head of I heart Radio, iHeart Media and at
29:02
the time helped to create MTV, I could see why it passed down to
29:07
let's get a Kurt Loader in here to give us, to give this network
29:11
some credibility. He was the guy that that tore the news off of the
29:15
eight p printer and took it to Walter Cronkite. That's all the credibility we
29:18
need. Throwing him on TV and just make sure he loves guns and Roses.
29:25
Yeah, bre Straits, I'll make sure you bump Paul Short. You
29:34
know. It was him and Tabitha Sworn. Tabitha Sworn, Yeah, and
29:40
they were like two MTV news. I wonder what happened to them. I
29:44
don't may have died recently, did he really? I don't think so.
29:48
I think I think he's no, maybe he's like seventy or I think maybe
29:53
maybe or something. He's either dead or I know I saw his name.
30:02
You know, it's just one of those names I haven't seen. And you're
30:03
and if you're of our age that like no one else would give two rats
30:08
ass about Kurt Loder, but for us, we grew up on that crap.
30:12
But he also was there for so many years. He was also the
30:15
one that broke the news, broke all the major breaking news on MTV,
30:19
including things like Kurt Cobain being dead. Yep, yeah, he's not dead.
30:26
He's just seventy eight. Coincidentally, just one year older than Dolly Parton.
30:33
Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking at the I'm looking at his up not
30:41
even updated headshot, his headshot from twenty fifteen. Yeah, Dolly's fine.
30:49
Kurt Loader looks like he's the cryptkeeper. He was. Yeah. So at
30:53
this point, anyone complaining that Dolly Parton at seventy seven shouldn't be wearing a
30:57
Dallas Cowboys cheerleader costume should think, well, the alternative could be Kurt Loder,
31:03
and I don't Here's one thing I've always wondered about Dolly Parton. How
31:07
is her plastic surgeon not the number one? Like? How does everyone in
31:11
Hollywood not go? Can I have his number? Uh? I'm sure she's
31:15
got several. I'm sure, I'm sure that she's all. I mean,
31:19
you look at some of the people that have had bad work, and she's
31:22
been had like, she's had work done, I would saying, yeah,
31:26
and still looks good compared. And then you look some of the people,
31:32
i mean, Meg Ryan comes to mine, or just some of the people
31:34
that have bad bad If there was ever a time that I would consider plastic
31:41
surgery, the people as much as I despise them, that I would go
31:45
to to try to find out who their surgeons slash surgeons are is the Kardashians.
31:49
You go to them first. They have the most experience, they have
31:53
the most obviously a wonderful success rate. Yes, but see, but this
32:00
is with Dolly, Unlike the Kardashians, there is a time element there that
32:05
we don't have. You don't have the full study on the Kardashians yet,
32:07
But Dolly, you're talking about a good thirty forty years of work and she's
32:12
still and you if you didn't really know who she was, you would not
32:15
go, oh my god, she's been reconstructed. Yeah. I think she
32:21
had that fight a little bit. I think she had the first boob job
32:24
ever I want to give her. I think she I think she invented them.
32:30
She's just like, figure out how to put these in me? You
32:32
know what, that's actually not a bad theory. Maybe, Yeah, I
32:37
don't know anybody else. Herself was her own searcheon. She didn't trust anybody
32:44
else. She puts her musket down and fills up a water balloon, takes
32:51
the billy knife out. You know what, I'm not ever going to try
33:01
to verify that. That, to me is the new history. You're listening
33:16
to The Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse on air dot com. Let's
33:25
talk to Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration eight three three COOKDFW for your
33:30
free roof inspection the website to see all the fantastic work that they do is
33:35
COOKDFW dot com. Daniel, you were telling me a little while ago that
33:38
you saw that the actual bar from the set of Cheers sold at auction for
33:44
some huge amount. So I'm curious if there was something for sale from one
33:49
of your favorite TV shows, what would it be that you would actually bid
33:52
on at an auction. Oh my gosh, Dan, it has to be
33:54
Star Wars. I mean, just the age I am and going to the
34:00
original Star Wars I still remember because I grew up in Denton. I still
34:02
remember going to the theater in Downtown on Downtown and watching Star Wars in the
34:08
theater. I can still remember doing that, and that was something that stayed
34:13
with me. And then every episode that ever came out, Empire Strikes Back,
34:15
returned to the Jedi, and then I met several of those actors when
34:20
they were doing their little tours. I met Shebaka, I met the guy
34:22
that did Darth. I mean, so I met all and have to be
34:25
Star Wars, I would have to say, man, and that stuff goes
34:29
for a lot of money. I think somewhere that like one of the x
34:34
Wing x Wings or something like that just sold an auction for like a million
34:38
dollars that was on a set. That's one of those things where if I
34:42
had like Elon Musk money, instead of wasting it on a social media platform,
34:45
I'd go buy an X Wing and then take it to Lockheed Martin and
34:49
say make it fly. Yes, that'd be so freaking off. I almost
34:53
want to go to Disney World just to go and look at the Star Wars
34:58
thing. Dude, I think that would be so awesome. I'm with you.
35:00
So I was really excited when they announced the the Star Wars you know,
35:04
attractions stuff at at Disneyland and Disney World. And one of the first
35:07
things I wanted to do, uh and I will do someday is I want
35:12
to get a drink at the Cantina bar, the one from the original Star
35:15
Wars. I think that's awesome. You still got that ring tone, don't
35:20
you? Absolutely that is my ring tone. The Cantina song from Star Wars
35:24
is absolutely my ring tone. When I have my volume on, when I
35:30
send a text message, it's the It's the x It's the X Wing shooting
35:35
noises. When I get a when I get an email, it's Chewbacca doing
35:37
the roar. Yeah, all of it. Love it man. By the
35:42
way, Daniels, since part of your business is restoration, you do a
35:45
lot of remodeling inside the home, Like you could build yourself the cantina bar
35:50
if you wanted to and just don't tell your wife. I would think that,
35:52
or I was also thinking maybe like a facade of like the Millennium Falcon
35:57
or something. I would like a Millennium Falcon themed bathroom and the toilet is
36:00
Han Solo's seat that I will then use, and then when I flush the
36:06
toilet, you go into hyperdrive. Oh god, all right, I'm gonna
36:13
looking. We're gonna figure out how alight I smell a team up here?
36:16
All right? Be sure to give Daniel Cook a coffee, a free roof
36:20
inspection, or if you too want a Millennium Falcon themed bathroom to see if
36:22
you can figure it out for you. Eight three three cookdfw orcookdfw dot com.

36:31
That is the phone number to reach Brooks Plumbing. I know some people
36:35
know that phone number pretty well because Jacqueline, If I'm being honest, I've
36:37
heard that your plumber is really get around. They do. They're very popular.
36:42
I have a story. So today I get a phone call from a
36:45
homeowner and he says, I need an appointment. I'm having issues with my
36:47
sewer. I've only lived in the house two months and it is backing up
36:51
everywhere. He gives me his address and I said, oh, we've been
36:53
to your house and he says no, I've only owned the house for two
36:55
months. And I go, oh, well, let's see what we did
36:58
the first time we were there for the other guy. Come to find out,
37:01
just five months prior, we looked at the sewer and it leaked badly.
37:07
We very rarely recommend that you replace everything, but the sewer system was
37:13
so defective we were suggesting a whole home reroute. The seller sold the house
37:19
knowing it was defective and made it the new guy's problem. But we've been
37:23
around since nineteen fifty six, strong chance, especially if it's an established house,
37:29
not necessarily a new build. Maybe we've been there before. So I
37:31
was able to look at the buyer and go, hey, look, I
37:34
can tell you you own this property. I can tell you what we found
37:37
the first time we were there. And so I was able to say,
37:39
you need to get with your realtor, you need to see if your disclosure
37:43
paperwork said all of this stuff that your seller maybe didn't bother to tell you.
37:49
Now here's the thing. The seller of this home was a licensed real
37:53
estate agent, meaning they should have known better. They bought the house with
37:58
the intention to flip it. Flipped it, and because I'm nosy, I
38:01
got into the Dallas Permit Department and looked, and they never pulled any permits
38:07
for the remodel that they did. So I was able to screenshot that and
38:09
send it to the buyer, my nice young man, and go, I'm
38:13
your biggest cheerleader. You need me, you call me. That is outstanding
38:16
service. That's why we love and promote Brooks Plumbing. So you give Jacqueline
38:21
a call. She will fight for you. Sounds like a lawyer, I
38:23
but she's you know, she's the queen of plumbing in Dallas, and she's

to Hawk's Nest Beach wearing cowboy boots and jeans, okay, and a King
39:37

40:52
coming up Saturday, December ninth, another road show, but not just any
40:58
Treehouse Podcast roadshow. Ow. Oh, we don't just do the same thing
41:01
over and over and hope that you keep coming out because we're desperate for ratings,
41:07
I mean downloads. What we want you to do is come have an
41:09
actual good time and get something new and different with each time that you come
41:15
see us in person. So for this Treehouse Podcast roadshow, you're not only
41:22
getting just one new thing, You're gonna get a couple of new and different
41:24
things. Number one, it is our Christmas party. It is the Treehouse
41:30
Podcast Christmas road show party at Shaker Tins in Dallas, across the street from
41:37
the Galleria. Go to Shakertins dot com. You can find out the location
41:43
info or obviously just thrown into your maps app type in Shaker Tins. It's
41:46
the midtown location. That is Saturday, December ninth, from four to seven
41:51
pm. Part of that road show will include since it's a Christmas party,
41:57
it will include a toy drive benefiting the war Center, which is just a
42:01
couple of miles west of that Shaker Tins. They serve a very underserved community,
42:07
which is special needs children. And so what we're asking for you to
42:10
do, and I say underserved because the state really likes slashing state budgets for
42:16
taking care of special needs kids. If you don't believe me, look it
42:20
up. It's true. So places like the Warren Center help to fill that
42:24
gap from the lack of funding at the state level and getting families to help
42:29
they need for their special needs children. So what we're asking you to do
42:34
at the Treehouse Podcast roadshow on Saturday, December ninth, four to seven pm
42:38
at Shaker Tins. Midtemp is bringing a toy, a developmental toy for special
42:46
needs kids birth to age three, Earth to age three. So whatever toy
42:52
you bring, they will find a place for. But if you can think
42:57
about, you know, like the things that would really help a child develop,
43:01
so that you know from birth to age three and those there are some
43:06
great places you can go to. You can look on Amazon as well.
43:09
Is it lake Shore? The lake Shore stores have great options. What is
43:15
what we're talking about? What kind of gifts are they? Because I've never
43:20
had the children, so I don't know what that is. So it's a
43:23
lot of things that were building blocks type things. Yes, ros, you're
43:28
right on top of You're right there. Basically all the a lot of the
43:30
toys I had to play with with my recent neurological pathology testing are the toys
43:37
that we're asking you to bring to this road show. I really wish I
43:43
was kidding and they were making that up. That made my day. So
43:49
just imagine developmentally challenged two year old sitting next to me as I'm going through
43:53
my testing and the child beating me. Yeah, just a two year old
43:59
going to this guy needs help. You can give them my spot in mind.
44:04
He clearly needs so anyway, bring bring a new toy for for a
44:10
child birthday age three that can help them learn and help them to progress on
44:15
their on their on their journey, and we'll take those to the Warren Center
44:21
for those children that he didn't want them, which would be great. And
44:23
another aspect of the road show that we will be doing at Shakerton's is a
44:30
roast of me, which still sounds weird to say because I don't even like
44:34
celebrating my birthday. But Roger's like, no, we should roast you.
44:36
And I think it's really just an excuse for Roger to say mean things about
44:38
me. Yes, but I'm a team player. If it put but if
44:44
it puts butts in seats, I'm for it. Just all I ask is
44:47
is please don't be cruel. No, it's all it's all in good fun.
44:53
See they say that, but I also know that I've seen the roasts
44:57
on Comedy Central, and those a lot of those were not in quote unquote
45:00
good fun. They wanted to destroy William Shatner, they wanted to destroy Chevy
45:07
Chase, and they did well, I mean where we're going for the persona
45:13
helps me a little bit. I hope we're going for more of the Dean
45:16
Martin type roast. I would like that. Let's all get drunk and enjoy
45:21
each other's company. We give each other a hard time the way that we
45:22
do normally, and no one is left crying in the corner afterwards. Yeah.
45:28
I mean, they went after William Shatner, as they should, for
45:31
just having released the album that he released in the seventies. Well, Shatner's
45:37
always been known as an ahole, Like everyone hates them that one, but
45:40
some of the other I don't care who it is, they're just mean.
45:44
I mean, there is a fine line between funny and mean. I mean,
45:49
Chevy Chase is also an a whole. Yeah, well, and it's
45:52
very hard to work with. And that's why I'm saying, please don't do
45:54
that to me, because I don't think i'm those guys. No. I
45:58
mean, oh, that wouldn't even sound like fun. That would just sound
46:04
like you'd have to go out of your way to do something like that,
46:07
and we wouldn't be able to have on the Fly or the roast of Dan
46:10
O'Malley. Instead, it would just be we're just gonna make Dann cry.
46:14
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure some people would show up to
46:15
witness that I have to be there, and I don't. I don't.
46:19
I don't want to. I don't I don't want to cry. No,
46:22
that doesn't sound like fun. We're just gonna hang out, have some cocktails
46:25
and uh and and and make fun of you with the jumbo pencil. You
46:31
know. The good news is though, as you can say, and you
46:34
can write this one down for later is or maybe I'll use it. You
46:37
could actually say all the terrible things you want about me, but by the
46:40
next morning, I'm not gonna remember that anyway. Yeah, so anyway.
46:45
Treehouse Podcast road shows Saturday, December ninth at Shaker ten's four to seven pm.
46:49
Another new aspect of this that we're excited about is the fact that it's
46:52
on a Saturday, so we don't have to worry about really rush hour or
46:53
anything. You don't have to worry about getting out of work early. You
46:57
can make plans to come enjoy the entire show. So the show will for
47:00
basically four to six. They will do the roast immediately afterwards, bring a
47:04
toy for a special needs child birth to age three. So we got the
47:09
charity component obviously, and it's our Christmas party. There are other companies in
47:16
this world that their idea of a Christmas party is simply to tell the employees
47:22
they have to show up to entertain the clients. It's no longer a company
47:24
party. It's a client party, which is no fun. We here in
47:30
the Treehouse like to bring everybody in and have a party and have a good
47:34
time and commiserate and enjoy the holidays or as Raj refers to them, December.
47:38
Yeah, that's it was just it's a Thursday, but Mary Thursday.
47:45
T you guys, Thank you, Roch, You're welcome. And there's and
47:50
if you're like me, and we've discussed this before, there is plenty of
47:53
parking like me that I'm telling you. If if you invite me somewhere and
47:59
I have to, I'm on my second loop, I'm going home. I
48:04
don't care what it is. I understand, I understand, I've been there.
48:07
Yeah. The other night I met some friends over at the sidecar social
48:10
uh, and I said, I'm gonna give it two laps, guys,
48:13
And it was all my buddies before the Thanksgiving, Holidays and want and Christmas
48:17
coming up, and you know, everybody's gonna be busy with their families.
48:21
And I said, I'll do two loops and they're like, what happens after
48:23
that? I'm like, I will leave, but it's all of us.
48:25
And I was like, send me pictures. I'm out side. Yeah,
48:30
I was somewhere else. Yeah, I'm that. I'm that old where I'm
48:34
like it used to be like, so, who all's going? What kind
48:37
of music is it? What? What the how's the food? Now I'm
48:40
just like, is there parking? And if there's not. If there's not
48:44
parking, I'm not coming. Uh. And So when I went to Shaker
48:46
Tins to evaluate the the joint, I was casing the joint for Dan.
48:53
I specifically walked around the parking garage to make sure that it was all parking,
48:59
and then behind to the building is because it's Saturday, it's all parking
49:02
back there as well. So yeah, there you go. Ample Parking.
49:07
We should have we should have Brad from Shaker Tin's add that to the flyer,
49:12
Ample Parking. Ample park Yeah, that's the name of my old people
49:15
band. That's what we call Ample Parking. I do think I have one
49:21
request for our Christmas party slash Treehouse Podcast roadshow at Shaker Tins on December ninth,
49:30
and that is in our group text. Raj, you sent a photo
49:35
of your turkey on Thanksgiving, Trey, we mentioned it in the Treehouse Plus
49:39
episode. You sent a photo of the tenderloin that you made for your family,
49:45
and I was very impressed. It's been a long time since I've had
49:50
a good tenderloin so well, and Dan, you can testify this. Raj
49:54
doesn't know that my meat is delicious. Jesus ch yes, but I was
50:00
the tender look. I think I just realized another phrase we need to add
50:07
to the flyer for the for the road show. We just added a meet
50:15
and greet. I can't anymore. No, that would actually be hysterical.
50:37
Trey's meat on a tray shaking hands. Remember the old Bachelor party movie the
50:52
appetizers. I'm pretty sure that the main course. God bless us. Everyone.
