0:26
Speaker 1: It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh
0:31
Speaker 1: with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
0:35
Speaker 1: Jerry Caldwell and today very special guest inside the Treehouse,
0:41
Speaker 1: the one and only Steve Nobello from Foxford DFW. Yay,
0:48
Speaker 1: you are so good at this, obviously because you do
0:50
Speaker 1: TV stuff all the time. So but you are just
0:52
Speaker 1: aimlessly spinning in your anchor chair and then all of
0:55
Speaker 1: a sudden you heard the click of a microphone switch
1:00
Speaker 1: or a TV switch, and then boom you shot in
1:01
Speaker 1: a position ready to roll, but still looking cool and casual.
1:05
Speaker 2: It's like a Pavlov's dog situation, right, that little red
1:07
Speaker 2: light comes on and you know it's go time. I'd
1:10
Speaker 2: like to know how you. I do enjoy that you
1:12
Speaker 2: retained that music at the beginning of your of your show.
1:16
Speaker 2: That always lets me know that you're on.
1:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, by retaining it, I appreciate you saying it because
1:22
Speaker 1: you'll ripping it off. Yeah, it's called piracy, Steve. It's
1:27
Speaker 1: not just for the Somalis anymore.
1:29
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I mean you live outside of the
1:31
Speaker 2: jurisdiction of the United States, don't you actually know?
1:34
Speaker 1: I don't. It's a misconception. Do I live in the Caribbean. Yes,
1:39
Speaker 1: it's technically the United States Urgent Islands. It's a territory.
1:43
Speaker 1: I couldn't vote in the presidential election, but I'm still
1:47
Speaker 1: a citizen, Okay. That's That's kind of how that works.
1:53
Speaker 1: And we celebrate Christmas here and everything. And one of
1:56
Speaker 1: the main reasons why I love having you on this
1:58
Speaker 1: time of year, Steve, is because every single year now
2:01
Speaker 1: and I believe this is the fifteenth year now that
2:05
Speaker 1: you've put together the Steve Noviello Holiday Guide. It is
2:10
Speaker 1: a massive holiday guide for people when it comes to
2:14
Speaker 1: gift giving. And it's not just like an old Seers
2:17
Speaker 1: catalog that you got to rip through all the pages for,
2:19
Speaker 1: but you actually break it out into different categories and things.
2:23
Speaker 1: And so I'm glad you're joining us. We can talk
2:26
Speaker 1: about it because you have unleashed it again this year.
2:30
Speaker 1: It's available on your website. I'm sure it's available on
2:33
Speaker 1: the Fox four website. Which one would you prefer to give?
2:36
Speaker 2: So, yeah, No, it's Avail's streaming worldwide on Fox Local.
2:40
Speaker 2: We have I think thirty eight runs and eighteen markets
2:42
Speaker 2: across the country this year. You could hop onto my
2:45
Speaker 2: Facebook to get a link. You can hop onto the
2:47
Speaker 2: Fox for News website to get a link to the
2:49
Speaker 2: complete guide. It's actually our sixteenth Pierre. So I'm not
2:51
Speaker 2: sure which of the years you missed, but it was
2:54
Speaker 2: a good one. I guarantee you that.
2:56
Speaker 1: Well, it's okay because I have a brain disorder. I
2:58
Speaker 1: have two brain disorders now, so I meant to say sixteen,
3:01
Speaker 1: but fifteen is what popped up. But I want you
3:03
Speaker 1: to know that I did. I did some research, and
3:06
Speaker 1: I pulled a few of the gifts out of your
3:09
Speaker 1: guide this year that I thought were really really interesting.
3:13
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you got?
3:16
Speaker 1: I realized, by the way, so this is your guide.
3:20
Speaker 1: I didn't put it together, but I pulled a few
3:21
Speaker 1: out that I thought were really innes I.
3:24
Speaker 2: Did the research. You you looked at a list and
3:26
Speaker 2: said that one. It's really the point of the guide,
3:29
Speaker 2: so that it appropriately Yeah, it's not it's not stealing,
3:33
Speaker 2: h Steve. I've curated this list like going to a
3:37
Speaker 2: restaurant of me, Like, well, I came up with all
3:38
Speaker 2: of these options. You read the menu and picked one.
3:42
Speaker 1: Actually, that's what you did. It's almost like you and
3:46
Speaker 1: I have been on a dinner date before. Uh, Okay,
3:48
Speaker 1: so a couple of things that I found from your
3:50
Speaker 1: guide that I thought were outstanding for various reasons. Okay,
3:55
Speaker 1: let me share this with you. Make sure that you'll
3:56
Speaker 1: be able to see this. The first one that stood
3:59
Speaker 1: out to me was, I believe this was in your
4:02
Speaker 1: category of gifts for people who have everything, and you
4:06
Speaker 1: guaranteed you guaranteed that some of these items people would
4:10
Speaker 1: not have. And the first one that jumped out of
4:12
Speaker 1: me is something called the moon Walker.
4:14
Speaker 2: I just had these on not an hour ago. In fact,
4:18
Speaker 2: they're like within one hundred feet of me. I can
4:20
Speaker 2: actually show them to you if you want. Yeah, so
4:23
Speaker 2: these we first saw these at the Consumer Electronic Show
4:25
Speaker 2: back in January. So think of this as you know
4:29
Speaker 2: the moving sidewalk at the airport. Think of this as
4:31
Speaker 2: your own personal moving sidewalk at all times. So they
4:34
Speaker 2: use AI adapter technology to feed energy to your feet, right,
4:39
Speaker 2: So the faster you walk, the more energy they provide.
4:42
Speaker 2: The slower you walk, they'll slow down for you. So
4:44
Speaker 2: it allows you to walk at the pace of a run.
4:48
Speaker 2: They do stop, You can climb stairs. There's a little
4:51
Speaker 2: bit of a learning curve. I had them on actually
4:53
Speaker 2: on the air this morning, kind of demonstrating them, so
4:57
Speaker 2: they take a moment to kind of get used to.
5:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way they describe, like you mentioned the first
5:03
Speaker 1: mobility device allowing you to walk at the speed of
5:05
Speaker 1: a run, and you mentioned adaptive AI drive train, which
5:09
Speaker 1: sounds fun for your feet, just makes me think that
5:11
Speaker 1: at some point the robot's going to take over and
5:13
Speaker 1: just send you someplace you never planned on.
5:17
Speaker 2: The again, a little bit of a learning curve. Raoul
5:21
Speaker 2: who I know, you know, He's like, what are those
5:24
Speaker 2: a couple hundred bucks? And I was like a little
5:26
Speaker 2: more than that, So they're a little on the pricey side.
5:29
Speaker 2: But again, so these items that are like you know
5:32
Speaker 2: that you've never heard of are meant to do one
5:33
Speaker 2: or two things. Either inspire you to think of something
5:36
Speaker 2: to be like, oh you know what, maybe not this,
5:37
Speaker 2: but that reminds me you know such and such on
5:40
Speaker 2: my list loves whatever, or maybe you just clicked the.
5:42
Speaker 1: My button and go from there, have have you? Or
5:45
Speaker 1: Hannah Baitah warned these moonwalkers during the ten on Fox four.
5:49
Speaker 2: This literally within the last hour I had them on
5:53
Speaker 2: my feet on television walking around.
5:55
Speaker 1: That is awesome. I love that I'll be sure to
5:57
Speaker 1: watch that replay of that on the four news dot
6:01
Speaker 1: com website later on today. Another item that I thought
6:04
Speaker 1: was cool in your selection that I then picked through
6:08
Speaker 1: the ugly sweater caps, which I think is great because
6:10
Speaker 1: if you want to do the ugly sweater party, but
6:12
Speaker 1: you don't want to commit to sweating, because in Texas
6:14
Speaker 1: it's hot, so you might be doing an ugly sweater party,
6:17
Speaker 1: but it's still it's still seventy degrees. So the hat,
6:20
Speaker 1: I think it's an awesome option.
6:21
Speaker 2: Maybe you just do the hat instead of the instead
6:23
Speaker 2: of the whole thing. So yeah, ugly sweater caps. They're
6:27
Speaker 2: also golf themed, so people, if you're into, like, you know, golf,
6:31
Speaker 2: kind of a kind of a nice again unique idea
6:33
Speaker 2: that you probably haven't heard of yet.
6:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's exactly like, if you're not watching
6:37
Speaker 1: this right now, you're just listening to it in the
6:39
Speaker 1: old fashioned way, it's exactly what it sounds like. It's
6:42
Speaker 1: a baseball style hat and then the front artwork just
6:45
Speaker 1: looks like a Christmas sweater with a different colors. It's
6:47
Speaker 1: pretty cool.
6:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I feel like this is like a good
6:48
Speaker 2: white elephant gift as well for people.
6:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that would actually be fairly popular at
6:53
Speaker 1: a white elephant thing, like all the booze would still
6:55
Speaker 1: go first, but this will probably come second. And then
6:58
Speaker 1: also this other one would I thought was pretty awesome,
7:01
Speaker 1: partly because I just like saying it. Pizza scissors, you know,
7:05
Speaker 1: it's interesting.
7:06
Speaker 2: I saw this. And by the way, so these are
7:08
Speaker 2: from WILLIAMS Sonoma. They are pizza scissors. My aunt Mary,
7:14
Speaker 2: she was actually my dad's aunt. So this woman is
7:16
Speaker 2: you know far, she's she's no longer with us. She
7:20
Speaker 2: used to make what we call pizza. It was really
7:23
Speaker 2: more like a ficaccio when I was a kid, and
7:25
Speaker 2: she had a pair of those like old school like
7:27
Speaker 2: black handle like teacher scissors. That that's how she used
7:30
Speaker 2: to cut the ficacia to serve it. And I saw
7:33
Speaker 2: these and I was like, son of them, Like poor
7:37
Speaker 2: aunt Mary. I mean, fifty years ago she was doing
7:40
Speaker 2: this and now william Sonoma is selling these things for
7:42
Speaker 2: I forget how much she could have She could have
7:45
Speaker 2: been a millionaire.
7:46
Speaker 1: Well those those are three of my standouts from your
7:49
Speaker 1: holiday guide this year. What is uh? What is your favorite?
7:52
Speaker 1: What is the one thing that of the entire catalog
7:56
Speaker 1: that you have said I want that, or you've already
7:59
Speaker 1: got it.
8:00
Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of hard to pick just one.
8:05
Speaker 2: I think that like okay, so like in the technology
8:08
Speaker 2: section from a company called sky Worth, and I'm gonna
8:12
Speaker 2: get the name wrong, and they actually I got I
8:14
Speaker 2: got a not so happy email from them about getting
8:16
Speaker 2: the name wrong. But they have something called the Lifestyle
8:19
Speaker 2: Portable Display with Google TV built in. Essentially, it's a television,
8:24
Speaker 2: right and you take it anywhere. It's maybe thirty or
8:29
Speaker 2: so inches and it's great. It's got the whole you know,
8:32
Speaker 2: streaming interface on it, just you know, Netflix and everything
8:35
Speaker 2: else on it. And I think it's got so many
8:37
Speaker 2: cool uses, tailgating being in the yacht, so it's you
8:40
Speaker 2: can do it. You can plug it in or you
8:42
Speaker 2: can charge at the batteries, you know, Like I'm thinking
8:44
Speaker 2: like hanging out in the yard with the kids, maybe
8:46
Speaker 2: watching a movie outside, like sitting like the hot tub,
8:50
Speaker 2: you know, and you know, in a kind of a
8:52
Speaker 2: temperate night, you know, with it on and having them
8:54
Speaker 2: watch cartoons or whatever else. I think it'd be cool
8:56
Speaker 2: that I thought was done really well. It's also got
8:58
Speaker 2: a nice Matt finish on display, so there's no reflectivity.
9:02
Speaker 2: So I would say that that's probably one of my
9:04
Speaker 2: favorite things on it for sure.
9:06
Speaker 1: Very cool. So also I always tell you this because
9:09
Speaker 1: you TV people, and I mean that a nice way.
9:11
Speaker 1: I when I say UTV people, when you guys get
9:14
Speaker 1: like hate mail, or you get you know, pissy messages
9:17
Speaker 1: from people or in this case, you know clients or
9:21
Speaker 1: whatever it is people that you know gave you stuff
9:23
Speaker 1: for the guide. You're all very kind in your responses.
9:28
Speaker 1: Those of us on the radio side don't put up
9:30
Speaker 1: with that crap. So if you want someone that is
9:33
Speaker 1: used to getting pissy emails from people and someone and
9:36
Speaker 1: someone to pilford through those for you, just forward them
9:39
Speaker 1: to us. We'll take care of it for You'll be
9:40
Speaker 1: happy to well.
9:41
Speaker 2: And again I will share with you, because this is
9:45
Speaker 2: recorded outside of the jurisdiction of the United States government,
9:48
Speaker 2: kind of what that experience looked like, you know. So
9:51
Speaker 2: here's the thing that I don't tell PR people about
9:53
Speaker 2: Gift Guide. So listen, I get it like it's a
9:55
Speaker 2: big lift to send us stuff and we get probably
9:59
Speaker 2: five times as much stuff as we actually put on TV. Right,
10:03
Speaker 2: there's just we just one hundreds and hundreds of other things.
10:05
Speaker 2: If I'm requesting something, it's because I know I've got
10:07
Speaker 2: a spot for it. But people blindly send us stuff,
10:10
Speaker 2: and sometimes that stuff is like those moon shoes or
10:14
Speaker 2: like twelve hundred bucks. You know, they're like, here you go,
10:17
Speaker 2: and what I don't tell them because I never know
10:19
Speaker 2: how many cities were going to get picked up by.
10:22
Speaker 2: I don't make any guarantees of coverage or anything like that.
10:24
Speaker 2: So like that television person, for example, it was the
10:27
Speaker 2: it was the client's first time trying their hand at television, right.
10:31
Speaker 2: I really liked it. I knew it was going to
10:32
Speaker 2: be in the guide. I put it in. It's on
10:34
Speaker 2: the online version, it's in the television version. It'll be
10:38
Speaker 2: in a breakout segment as well. And I send right
10:42
Speaker 2: before the day before Thanksgiving. I send a note, which
10:44
Speaker 2: is also a big pain in the neck because you've
10:46
Speaker 2: got to now curate this list of one hundred people
10:48
Speaker 2: to send emails to. I say, hey, thank you so
10:50
Speaker 2: much for being part of the guide. You know, I
10:52
Speaker 2: appreciate you. Here's the you know, better news we've been
10:57
Speaker 2: picked up by you know, you know, thirty eight runs
10:59
Speaker 2: and teen markets from New York to California blah bla
11:02
Speaker 2: blah blah. So all these pr people who think like,
11:05
Speaker 2: you know, like, hey, you're like, oh yeah, I got
11:07
Speaker 2: my client on TV in Dallas, like and then the
11:09
Speaker 2: day before things saving they find out actually, you're going
11:11
Speaker 2: to be on all over the country, you know, multiple times,
11:14
Speaker 2: Like it's a nice feather in their cap.
11:16
Speaker 3: Right.
11:16
Speaker 2: So when this person contacted me and was not pleased
11:20
Speaker 2: that I had written freestyle instead of lifestyle, I was like, well, hey,
11:24
Speaker 2: I hope the coast to coast coverage was helpful for
11:28
Speaker 2: your client. And then she like doubled down on like, well,
11:35
Speaker 2: here's what the warning. I was like, okay, you know what, Okay,
11:38
Speaker 2: I get it, Like, you know, are people are funny
11:41
Speaker 2: that way, right, Like at the end of the day
11:43
Speaker 2: we showed the product, I said, I loved it. There's
11:45
Speaker 2: a shopping link that actually allows people to buy it.
11:47
Speaker 2: Like does the average consumer really care that I misspoke
11:51
Speaker 2: on the second or third word of the twelve word name.
11:56
Speaker 2: They do not, right, they really don't. But I get
11:58
Speaker 2: it as a you know, your client probably putting pressure
12:00
Speaker 2: on you to be like, oh that's not precisely you know,
12:03
Speaker 2: like I'm sure that that name was workshopped in. However,
12:07
Speaker 2: things are done, and you know there's will be a
12:09
Speaker 2: battle of what we're gonna call this and that.
12:11
Speaker 1: Well, that's also the reality of life that they need
12:13
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. You can, you know, pour over
12:16
Speaker 1: the minutia on things like that till you're blue in
12:18
Speaker 1: the face. But some people are still gonna call it,
12:20
Speaker 1: you know, moonshoes versus moonwalkers or whatever else, lifestyle versus freestyle.
12:25
Speaker 1: That's why I say, just forward me that I'll send
12:27
Speaker 1: back the response to whom it may concerns. Steve Noviello says,
12:32
Speaker 1: you sign Steve Noviello's email checker. Wow.
12:36
Speaker 2: Is that in real time or is that some sort
12:38
Speaker 2: of AI that blocks that hour?
12:39
Speaker 4: Oh?
12:40
Speaker 1: That's all me baby, Wow. But don't go anywhere real quick.
12:45

Speaker 1: of your holiday guide that we've decided to include in
16:07
Speaker 1: our Treouse Christmas Catalog that I think people would enjoy,
16:12
Speaker 1: and I'll send you links from which you can buy
16:15
Speaker 1: these items for your family.
16:16
Speaker 2: Steve, can I open the links at work? Or do
16:18
Speaker 2: I should I show that at home?
16:21
Speaker 1: You know what, I think your search history is probably
16:23
Speaker 1: going to be similar to mine, so I think the
16:26
Speaker 1: company is going to know it's like, oh that's Steve
16:28
Speaker 1: or that's day and again, it's fine. Just let them
16:30
Speaker 1: do what they're doing. They're doing just at the end
16:32
Speaker 1: of the day, they trust you, right, Okay, So yeah,
16:35
Speaker 1: these these Yeah, there's nothing on here that's like dark
16:37
Speaker 1: web related that you can't open at work. Okay, so
16:42
Speaker 1: the first one here is an item that my wife
16:44
Speaker 1: actually found on Amazon and she couldn't resist sending me
16:47
Speaker 1: a link to. They were even on an episode of
16:50
Speaker 1: Shark Tank a couple of years ago. And these guys
16:51
Speaker 1: are from North Texas Steve Noviello. The first item up
16:56
Speaker 1: for well, not bids, but you can find one in
17:00
Speaker 1: the Treehouse Christmas catalog is the crap strap. This is
17:03
Speaker 1: a real item. You can type it in. It's available
17:07
Speaker 1: on Amazon, and I'm not kidding, this was available on
17:09
Speaker 1: Shark Tank. It is an outdoor pooping accessory. So that
17:13
Speaker 1: way you don't have to, like if you're old and
17:15
Speaker 1: got bad knees or bad hips and you have a
17:18
Speaker 1: hard time, you know, standing up from a squatting position.
17:20
Speaker 1: This way you don't have to worry about it. You
17:21
Speaker 1: just tie the strap around the tree, lean up against
17:23
Speaker 1: the padded backrest, and do your business in nature. It
17:27
Speaker 1: also hooks up to a trailer hitch in case you
17:30
Speaker 1: can't find a tree.
17:31
Speaker 5: You know.
17:32
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, I mean, one does want to be
17:34
Speaker 2: relaxed when you know expelling their bowels. But that tree,
17:39
Speaker 2: and I know not everybody can see it. I don't
17:42
Speaker 2: know that I would trust that tree versus how big
17:44
Speaker 2: that name is.
17:45
Speaker 1: I with you, especially when in the background there's a
17:47
Speaker 1: tree that's easily doubled the size exactly on a trunk. Yeah,
17:52
Speaker 1: that's not the tree I would have picked out of
17:53
Speaker 1: those two in the frame. I do say though, that
17:57
Speaker 1: while another photo had the option of strapping this thing too,
18:00
Speaker 1: trailer hitch. Just what's that?
18:03
Speaker 2: I said, Look who's here by the way, Oh this
18:05
Speaker 2: is great.
18:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what you need to get. This is
18:07
Speaker 1: what you need to get, Hannah for Christmas. One of
18:09
Speaker 1: these one of these outdoor pooping straps.
18:12
Speaker 2: That's the crap strap you. They're doing their own gift guide.
18:17
Speaker 2: So when you and Kevin are out in the wiles,
18:19
Speaker 2: is there a hammock in there?
18:20
Speaker 1: That's what I need for you, Hannah. I'm sure they
18:23
Speaker 1: throw it in. Yeah, but be careful if you got
18:28
Speaker 1: a buddy that's in the truck, you don't want him
18:30
Speaker 1: driving off when you're attached to the trailer hitch. All right,
18:34
Speaker 1: So the next item that available in the Treos Christmas
18:37
Speaker 1: catalog that I think Hannah will be thoroughly interested in.
18:41
Speaker 1: Is the is the Lake Cuomo Air Show.
18:47
Speaker 2: For the air in the can of air from Lake Pomo?
18:49
Speaker 1: Yemhm show? That's right. Yeah, we do a lot of
18:53
Speaker 1: there's a lot of overlapping between the programs here, mainly
18:56
Speaker 1: because Steve steals from me and the nice steel from
18:58
Speaker 1: him lies. So this is the Lake Como Canaver only
19:02
Speaker 1: eleven dollars and you can get that if you don't
19:04
Speaker 1: already have multiples sent to you, guys. But that's one
19:07
Speaker 1: that should have been in your guide, Steve. And if
19:10
Speaker 1: you don't want that, there's always the Klandal, which I'm
19:15
Speaker 1: sure you guys.
19:15
Speaker 5: Talked about on last call.
19:18
Speaker 2: Man, are you stalking me?
19:20
Speaker 1: Are you no? Because Steve, this is a story. This
19:22
Speaker 1: is a story that actually came out months ago that
19:25
Speaker 1: you were slow to pick up on until after I
19:28
Speaker 1: talked about it in the treehouse first, then you did
19:30
Speaker 1: it on last call, and now I'm doing it again,
19:33
Speaker 1: and this is how it all works out. It's all accesstuous.
19:35
Speaker 2: Fine. We do it to move though, because Hannah has
19:37
Speaker 2: to start the new news, so I need to say
19:39
Speaker 2: I'm gonna walk.
19:39
Speaker 1: I could do the new News with Hannah just throw
19:41
Speaker 1: me out.
19:41
Speaker 2: You're good, We're good, we have we have image.
19:46
Speaker 1: How about that now?
19:47
Speaker 2: The clandal, I mean, but come on, like you had
19:49
Speaker 2: one job? Like, who thought that that was? Okay? Is
19:52
Speaker 2: my question to me.
19:53
Speaker 1: It's so obvious. How do you not see it?
19:56
Speaker 2: Well, So in the segment that we did, we showed
19:59
Speaker 2: the clan and we also then showed other unfortunate logo
20:04
Speaker 2: fails which really make for a for a fund for
20:08
Speaker 2: a fun segment.
20:09
Speaker 1: Okay, and that's available on the foxfour News dot com
20:12
Speaker 1: website as well. You know what we actually, oh, Steve
20:17
Speaker 1: walked around too much and froze up on us.
20:18
Speaker 2: I believe it was on this week.
20:20
Speaker 1: Oh okay, cool, Yeah, all right, a couple more clickings
20:23
Speaker 1: and I'll let you go. Okay. Also, we've got the
20:27
Speaker 1: the cow onesie soaked in meth amphetamines, which I have
20:31
Speaker 1: called the meth pajamas.
20:33
Speaker 3: Uh.
20:33
Speaker 1: Actually a man was just busted recently in la at
20:37
Speaker 1: Lax trying to smuggle uh meth soaked pajamas to Sydney, Australia.
20:44
Speaker 1: And so this is a meth soaked cow onesie that
20:48
Speaker 1: you could have, Steve.
20:52
Speaker 3: And.
20:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the better signal area.
20:59
Speaker 1: Did you're a care right there? Nop, No, it was not.
21:04
Speaker 7: I like it.
21:04
Speaker 1: We're getting a guid to a personalized the four studios.
21:08
Speaker 2: There we are there right? Okay?
21:10
Speaker 1: All right? So you see the the it's the the
21:14
Speaker 1: meth pajamas. It is a methamphetamine soaked cow Onesie. A
21:20
Speaker 1: guy from California was just busted at Lax with this
21:23
Speaker 1: what he was trying to check it to go to Sydney, Australia.
21:29
Speaker 1: Oh my, okay people, I mean, well, yeah, that's pretty impressive.
21:36
Speaker 1: And then finally, I'm not sure if you saw this before.
21:38
Speaker 1: It is political in nature, but we don't get too
21:39
Speaker 1: political on the show. And that is the Trumpy Trout
21:43
Speaker 1: Limited Edition fifty promises to make fishing great again. The
21:49
Speaker 1: Trumpy Trout. I swear to god this is real. It
21:52
Speaker 1: is a real product with a real commercial and a
21:54
Speaker 1: real website and you can have one it hangs on
21:56
Speaker 1: your wall or the Deluxe edition that can sit on
21:59
Speaker 1: your day.
22:01
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it for it. I mean
22:03
Speaker 2: looks like you might want to sit under your desk.
22:04
Speaker 1: Frankly, yes, I think that that. Also when we first
22:12
Speaker 1: talked about the Trump Bet Trout was mentioned as as
22:16
Speaker 1: something that we feel like some people might think of doing.
22:18
Speaker 1: Whether or not they do it, it's totally up to
22:20
Speaker 1: them what you do with the trumpet trout. That's between
22:23
Speaker 1: you and the fish. So there you go. There's the
22:25
Speaker 1: Treehouse Christmas catalog ideas. There's a few others, but I
22:28
Speaker 1: don't know if you're much of a drinker. I was
22:30
Speaker 1: gonna I don't have any photos of ditch Gin, but
22:33
Speaker 1: if I do, I'll throw it at you.

23:25
Speaker 1: When I had my house in Dallas, Jacqueline, you came
23:28
Speaker 1: out a few times to help us with some issues,
23:30
Speaker 1: and your response time was phenomenal. And it wasn't just
23:34
Speaker 1: because it was me. It was because that's the kind
23:37
Speaker 1: of company you run. You go out of your way
23:39
Speaker 1: trying to help every client and try to get there
23:41
Speaker 1: as soon as you can.
23:42
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, the reality of it is is that
23:45
Speaker 8: plumbing is unfortunately a need and not so much a want. Yes,
23:48
Speaker 8: you can want to remodel the bathroom and that's not pressing,
23:52
Speaker 8: but typically when it comes to service or leak investigations,
23:55
Speaker 8: et cetera, et cetera. If you've got to stoppage on
23:58
Speaker 8: the mainline and you don't know and you keep putting
24:02
Speaker 8: liquid or you know, waste into the drains, if it
24:08
Speaker 8: has nowhere to go, it will come back in the
24:10
Speaker 8: house and at that point in time, it's no longer
24:13
Speaker 8: a want, it's a need, and that sort of thing
24:15
Speaker 8: can't wait. When you have those emergencies, you have got
24:20
Speaker 8: to figure out how to manage the crew so that
24:22

Speaker 1: And we are back inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley
25:21
Speaker 1: along with Jerry Caldwell on Fred Day, December sixth, twenty
25:26
Speaker 1: twenty four. I almost forgot to say it the right
25:28
Speaker 1: way today, but I rectified it.
25:30
Speaker 5: Uh.
25:30
Speaker 1: Speaking of rectifying things, Jerry, would you want an extra
25:36
Speaker 1: finger if you could nothing happens to your existing ones,
25:43
Speaker 1: you just get an extra finger. What about what about
25:46
Speaker 1: a third thumb? Would you like a third thumb.
25:51
Speaker 7: That might not be terrible.
25:53
Speaker 1: Now, what if I told you the third thumb is
25:57
Speaker 1: a robot thumb? Would you like a would you like
25:59
Speaker 1: a robot Jerry?
26:01
Speaker 7: Hell?
26:01
Speaker 1: Yes, Well it's that dream may soon become a reality
26:06
Speaker 1: because thanks to my doom scrolling this week, I discovered
26:10
Speaker 1: something that I think is being touted as a third thumb.
26:14
Speaker 1: It is a robotic finger attachment for your hand. Okay,
26:20
Speaker 1: so here we go. I'm gonna show this to you
26:21
Speaker 1: real quick. It is the third thumb, robotic finger. It's good.
26:27
Speaker 1: It's it's a appendage that attaches to your hand, and
26:31
Speaker 1: it's got like you know, like if you open your
26:33
Speaker 1: hand up, why, like you spread all your fingers out
26:36
Speaker 1: like you like one of those like kindergarten turkeys. You
26:39
Speaker 1: see where your thumb is, now, imagine across the your
26:42
Speaker 1: palm where there's nothing, it's just palm. Imagine there was
26:46
Speaker 1: another thumb there that was attached through some robotic type
26:50
Speaker 1: thingies and what looks to be some silicone that would
26:53
Speaker 1: give you this third thumb, which then you could use
26:56
Speaker 1: for various things like they show in the video, such as, oh,
27:02
Speaker 1: making fists, grabbing four oranges, grabbing a bottle and making
27:08
Speaker 1: put the cap with the same handgressive right, and other
27:14
Speaker 1: uses for the for the third thumb, you could, uh,
27:18
Speaker 1: I guess it would take your solitaire game to the
27:20
Speaker 1: next level because you can hold and deal with one
27:23
Speaker 1: hand with that extra thumb.
27:26
Speaker 7: And great for uno too, and you've got a fist
27:28
Speaker 7: full of cards.
27:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, fistful of uno. Mm hmmmmm pretty sure. That's my
27:35
Speaker 1: nickname when I was thirteen. Uh. Also you can take
27:40
Speaker 1: you can hold a marker and take the cap off
27:42
Speaker 1: of it with one hand. If you have a third thumb,
27:45
Speaker 1: that's a robot And then you could peel and eat
27:50
Speaker 1: in a banana all with one hand if you have
27:54
Speaker 1: a robot thumb in addition to your other ones. Now,
27:58
Speaker 1: part of what they say about this is true. They
28:00
Speaker 1: you know, they mentioned that while it's a third thumb,
28:03
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's it's not just for the
28:07
Speaker 1: able bodied. Because this is from researchers from the University
28:11
Speaker 1: of Cambridge. They developed this third thumb. It's a robotic
28:14
Speaker 1: prosthetic that significantly enhances hand functionality. The third thumb exemplifies
28:20
Speaker 1: the potential of human augmentation technologies to integrate seamlessly into
28:24
Speaker 1: daily life. I also feel like this should have been
28:27
Speaker 1: included on Steve Novilla's Holiday Guide. Well, I guess we
28:30
Speaker 1: can throw it into ours to our Christmas catalog. And
28:33
Speaker 1: this third thumb would offer new possibilities for both disabled
28:36
Speaker 1: and able bodied individuals. So that's the nice benefit here.
28:42
Speaker 1: This works if maybe you're missing a finger, or if
28:45
Speaker 1: you just want an extra one and feel like showing off,
28:49
Speaker 1: so you can peel and eat a banana with one hand,
28:51
Speaker 1: and also you can stir and hold a cup of
28:57
Speaker 1: coffee at the same time. And I feel like there
29:04
Speaker 1: are other uses as well when you've got a hand
29:06
Speaker 1: that's got an additional finger. I think I think you
29:11
Speaker 1: know where I'm going with this. I mean it starts
29:16
Speaker 1: with a third thumb, but eventually we're gonna want to
29:24
Speaker 1: right because then that way you you can tell you
29:27
Speaker 1: can tell your significant others like hey, or maybe it'd
29:30
Speaker 1: be more like on a Hinge profile. It's like everybody
29:34
Speaker 1: else got one. I got two, and the second one
29:37
Speaker 1: is robotic.
29:43
Speaker 7: So where the first one out, Yeah, that's true. The
29:46
Speaker 7: other one can spell you.
29:50
Speaker 1: That's something else would be really interesting is uh for spelling,
29:53
Speaker 1: like for uh for for a sign language. Oh, if
29:59
Speaker 1: you can throw an addition words or something if you
30:01
Speaker 1: haven't if you have an additional finger on there. Although
30:04
Speaker 1: I have seen that as well. They actually have now
30:06
Speaker 1: there and they've invented this and this is this is
30:08
Speaker 1: really awesome. It's hands that when you do the signs
30:12
Speaker 1: for sign language, it says the words out loud, so
30:18
Speaker 1: that way someone that is signing who may be deaf
30:21
Speaker 1: can talk to someone like you or me, Jerry, if
30:24
Speaker 1: we don't know sign language, we can then hear the
30:26
Speaker 1: words that are being spoken with their hands.
30:30
Speaker 7: That's very cool. It's like Babbelfish for sign language.
30:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, going back to this robotic thumb, the
30:37
Speaker 1: extra finger, the third thumb as they're calling it. We're
30:41
Speaker 1: all we're all familiar with the shocker, right, oh yeah,
30:45
Speaker 1: two in the two in the front, one in the back.
30:47
Speaker 1: But now imagine you've got another another finger. I mean,
30:53
Speaker 1: is that is that then going to be the super shocker?
30:55
Speaker 1: I it's sort of it's sort of like the first
31:00
Speaker 1: It's sort of like the first kid in the neighborhood
31:01
Speaker 1: that got the Nintendo Power glove that put it on
31:04
Speaker 1: and showed everybody.
31:05
Speaker 7: Right right, that extra thumb. You know that that'll give
31:08
Speaker 7: you some extra fingers to, you know, be a little
31:10
Speaker 7: more creative with.
31:13
Speaker 1: Hey, baby, have I got a surprise for you?
31:15
Speaker 7: That's right. Let's just hope it doesn't like start short
31:19
Speaker 7: circuiting and going crazy.
31:22
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think some people might be into that.

32:22
Speaker 1: my cousin in law I med barucha, but in in
32:24
Speaker 1: fact prescial little treat from him that he has shared
32:29
Speaker 1: with the world that I think it's important that we
32:32
Speaker 1: use this introduce him to our Treehouse family. So here
32:36
Speaker 1: we go. Take it it too far. With cows, we
32:42
Speaker 1: kill them, we eat them, we wear them.
32:44
Speaker 9: That's on par with most animals. With cows, we also
32:48
Speaker 9: eat veal, which are their children.
32:51
Speaker 2: Then we drink their milk.
32:52
Speaker 9: Doesn't sound as bad, but it's the milk intended for
32:56
Speaker 9: their children. We eat their babies, and then we eat
33:02
Speaker 9: their babies food.
33:06
Speaker 1: With cookies. Don't get cookies in there.
33:17
Speaker 9: But then on top of all of that, we take
33:21
Speaker 9: pictures of our missing children.
33:34
Speaker 5: Put them on their meth.
33:37
Speaker 1: Hey started to killing your kid. Haven't seen my kid though,
33:43
Speaker 1: So he's not just my cousin in law at least
33:44
Speaker 1: I think that's how we're technically related. He is a
33:47
Speaker 1: outstanding touring professional comedian. Ahmed Barucha actor as well, joining
33:52
Speaker 1: us from the Left Coast. Ahmed, Great, it's great to
33:55
Speaker 1: have you inside the tree for the first time.
33:57
Speaker 5: Yeay, Hey, thanks for having me.
34:00
Speaker 1: It's only been years in the making. Yeah. So I
34:03
Speaker 1: say that, and I uh, I say that you're my
34:06
Speaker 1: cousin in law, and I think that's actually technically how
34:08
Speaker 1: we're related because my wife, Tara, her cousin. Yeah, is
34:14
Speaker 1: your wife.
34:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's that's the only way we can
34:17
Speaker 5: call it.
34:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's correct. I'm not good at genealogy
34:21
Speaker 1: and family tree, so I think that's what we're technically
34:25
Speaker 1: have to.
34:25
Speaker 5: Do, like a twenty three and meters or something to
34:27
Speaker 5: figure out.
34:28
Speaker 1: I'm gonna laugh if we come up like, yeah, I
34:32
Speaker 1: am adopted, So who knows why I would you?
34:34
Speaker 5: I'm half Irish? Where are you Irish?
34:36
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oklahoma Irish?
34:37
Speaker 10: Okay, I'm a Rhode Island Irish.
34:41
Speaker 1: Maybe our families crossed paths somewhere in tennesse here or something.
34:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably Tennessee.
34:46
Speaker 1: The uh so I mentioned it? You are? You are
34:48
Speaker 1: a touring comedian. How how many days out of the
34:50
Speaker 1: year you on the road?
34:52
Speaker 7: Oh?
34:52
Speaker 5: Man, lately I haven't been doing much touring.
34:54
Speaker 10: Just have a kid's now, so doing a lot of
34:57
Speaker 10: like just stuff around LA. But yeah, you know I
35:01
Speaker 10: get out every once in a while, trying to go
35:03
Speaker 10: out too far.
35:04
Speaker 1: Well, I will say this that, whenever you want to
35:07
Speaker 1: come back to Texas, we'll be happy to help you
35:10
Speaker 1: promote those gigs, whether it's you know, df W, Houston,
35:15
Speaker 1: Austin area, whatever the case is, be happy to do
35:17
Speaker 1: that for you. So you're also I mean, you're kind
35:21
Speaker 1: of a Hollywood guy, but not like crazy Hollywood guy.
35:24
Speaker 1: So occasionally what happens is Tara and I'll be watching
35:28
Speaker 1: TV and we'll see you on TV. Yeah, and Jerry
35:33
Speaker 1: you may have seen him as well and maybe not
35:34
Speaker 1: even realized it. So have you ever seen a Skittles
35:37
Speaker 1: commercial where it's like some dudes hanging off the side
35:39
Speaker 1: of a cliff. I think, yes, one of those guys
35:43
Speaker 1: is I ed. Yeah, Tittles my favorite candy. How long
35:51
Speaker 1: ago did you actually shoot that spot?
35:53
Speaker 10: That was actually the first commercial I ever shot. It
35:55
Speaker 10: was like over ten years ago. Now it was the
35:58
Speaker 10: best paying one. I honestly, after that, I was like,
36:01
Speaker 10: all I need is another commercial and I'll be set.
36:03
Speaker 5: But that was just misleading. So I think, like, you know.
36:06
Speaker 10: It's actually Starburst, but everyone thinks the skills because there's
36:09
Speaker 10: like roundless sears coming out of the dragon's eyes in it.
36:13
Speaker 10: But I think it's like candies, like drugs for kids.
36:16
Speaker 5: That's why I paid so well. I gotta get more
36:20
Speaker 5: candy commercials, I think is the key.
36:23
Speaker 1: No, you're right, I mean it is. It is sort
36:24
Speaker 1: of government you know endorsed yea, you know addiction because
36:29
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever saw this, but I
36:30
Speaker 1: remember years ago they did a study where they actually
36:34
Speaker 1: got it was either rice, either rice, it was either
36:37
Speaker 1: mice or rats. And they had got two groups. One
36:42
Speaker 1: they got hooked on heroin and another one they got
36:44
Speaker 1: hooked on sugar. Yeah, and they found that the rats,
36:49
Speaker 1: when the sugar went away or however they did the experiment,
36:52
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly because my brain don't work too good,
36:55
Speaker 1: they were more addicted to the sugar than they were heroin.
36:59
Speaker 4: Wow.
37:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I've been trying to switch over to
37:01
Speaker 5: heroin myself.
37:05
Speaker 1: It's more exciting, right, Yeah you know. Noah, you're right.
37:09
Speaker 1: So it was a Starburs commercial, but you're right, your
37:11
Speaker 1: little tears coming out. That's why my brain I was
37:13
Speaker 1: thinking skittles, But.
37:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would have.
37:15
Speaker 10: I almost didn't even shoot that one because I have
37:17
Speaker 10: a sketch group and we were like shooting sketches like
37:20
Speaker 10: the same day, and I just moved to LA and
37:22
Speaker 10: just not too long before that, and I was like, oh,
37:26
Speaker 10: I can't do this. I got to shoot some sketches
37:28
Speaker 10: and they're like someone who is more in the no,
37:30
Speaker 10: was like, no, you have to do the commercial.
37:34
Speaker 5: For like ten years.
37:35
Speaker 1: God, so on a commercial like that, because you know,
37:39
Speaker 1: we only have like occasionally people were like one degree
37:43
Speaker 1: of separation from Hollywood. One because I know you, another
37:47
Speaker 1: because we have other Our buddy Raj who's on the
37:49
Speaker 1: show lived in La rosch Armor. He lived in La
37:52
Speaker 1: for a number of years, did a lot of hosting
37:54
Speaker 1: at the Laugh Factory. He's back in Texas now. He
37:56
Speaker 1: does the show regularly. Our buddy tone Bell that we
38:00
Speaker 1: known for years, so we were all in the same
38:03
Speaker 1: sort of we know a lot of the same people,
38:06
Speaker 1: and so I am not in Hollywood. Jerry is not
38:08
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, but we know a few people that are.
38:10
Speaker 1: So it makes us feel special. But when you shoot
38:13
Speaker 1: a commercial like that Starbus commercial, like you said, it's
38:15
Speaker 1: ten years ago, Yeah, and I saw it like I've
38:19
Speaker 1: seen it within the last year.
38:20
Speaker 10: Yeah.
38:21
Speaker 1: Is that a residual thing for you or did you
38:23
Speaker 1: get paid one time and it was just good one
38:26
Speaker 1: pay check and then they own it forever.
38:28
Speaker 10: No, that was residuals And I've never even gotten residuals
38:31
Speaker 10: close to that. Like that was definitely like my I'm
38:33
Speaker 10: always chasing that that commercial. That one, it was like
38:37
Speaker 10: it was crazy, Like they started playing in China and
38:40
Speaker 10: like they like re up to the contract, so that
38:43
Speaker 10: was cool. Every time that one gets played all that,
38:46
Speaker 10: I haven't seen money from that one a while, so
38:47
Speaker 10: now I'm like, hey.
38:48
Speaker 5: You saw it recently.
38:48
Speaker 10: I got to figure they're also like really easily able
38:52
Speaker 10: to like just not pay me, I think because I
38:54
Speaker 10: have no idea.
38:56
Speaker 1: Especially especially through all the streaming stuff, because I think
38:58
Speaker 1: that's the most recent time and I saw it. It might
39:00
Speaker 1: might have been on like a Hulu ad.
39:02
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's all these like sneaky stuff they do with
39:04
Speaker 10: contracts and stuff, and I'm too dumb to figure that out.
39:07
Speaker 10: Like I was on a TV show for a while,
39:09
Speaker 10: and someone who's way more like in the in Hollywood
39:13
Speaker 10: they kind of noticed like, hey, this money's not adding up,
39:15
Speaker 10: but I would never I'm like, hey, two dollars thanks.
39:20
Speaker 1: And you laugh, Jerry. But sometimes that's the residual check
39:23
Speaker 1: that you get, like in case, I can't remember who
39:25
Speaker 1: it is, but occasionally actors will show their residual check
39:28
Speaker 1: from a movie or a TV show and it'll be
39:31
Speaker 1: for sins literal sense that they get issued to check.
39:34
Speaker 1: It cost more to print and ship the check to
39:37
Speaker 1: the individual than the amount of the check itself. Yeah,
39:41
Speaker 1: I've been there.
39:41
Speaker 7: I've seen those checks. I've filmed a few commercials before,
39:45
Speaker 7: and oddly enough, the one that I got paid the
39:46
Speaker 7: most for was from the Gaylord, Texan and that was
39:49
Speaker 7: a commercial that was shot basically to be shown inside
39:52
Speaker 7: the hotel and you know, to other businesses and stuff.
39:57
Speaker 7: It wasn't really out on television.
39:59
Speaker 5: Just that screen and that's on when you turn on
40:01
Speaker 5: the TV.
40:02
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just always imagine you though. I always forget
40:06
Speaker 1: that you were an actor, Jerry, but I sometimes think that,
40:08
Speaker 1: like your biggest roles were in like those coin operated
40:11
Speaker 1: adult jacks. I mean, do you notice how he's not
40:17
Speaker 1: denying that at all, not at all.
40:21
Speaker 7: Fifty I got you, baby, don't google me too hard.
40:25
Speaker 1: I always forget this and I meant to look it
40:27
Speaker 1: up beforehand. The TV show that you mentioned, what was
40:31
Speaker 1: the TV show that you were.
40:32
Speaker 5: On, Dream Corp LLC.
40:34
Speaker 10: That's like, yeah, that's my my favorite thing I've done.
40:38
Speaker 1: I remember when that was going on. It is just
40:41
Speaker 1: you know, it was years ago and I'm seeing you
40:43
Speaker 1: post different things about it and seeing the show, and
40:46
Speaker 1: it was like that is that is a cool concert
40:48
Speaker 1: for a show, and it's it's like anyone that ever
40:50
Speaker 1: gets to LA if they have dreams of not necessarily stardom,
40:55
Speaker 1: which it might be just that, but from an artist's standpoint,
40:58
Speaker 1: from a comedian or an actors standpoint, just getting something,
41:01
Speaker 1: being a part of something that gets made, it's got
41:03
Speaker 1: to be a great feeling, especially if you also love
41:05
Speaker 1: the actual material.
41:06
Speaker 5: Yeah.
41:07
Speaker 10: That that was just yea all around the coolest thing
41:10
Speaker 10: I And uh, the director is like he was pretty
41:12
Speaker 10: trusting of me, So I didn't have a lot of
41:14
Speaker 10: lines in the show, but I would just make up
41:16
Speaker 10: a lot of stuff, like like before we shoot and
41:20
Speaker 10: we you know, we had three seasons, so by like
41:22
Speaker 10: season three, I got pretty good at like knowing when
41:24
Speaker 10: to like shoot my shot. You know, like in the beginning,
41:28
Speaker 10: I'd do some dumb thing in the background. They'd be
41:29
Speaker 10: like stop doing that. Uh, But then I'd figure out,
41:33
Speaker 10: like wait, like weight three takes when everyone's bored of
41:35
Speaker 10: what's happening, and I'll like fall in the background or something.
41:39
Speaker 7: Whatever you guys were doing. You got one hundred percent
41:42
Speaker 7: rating on Rotten Tomatoes, So yeah.
41:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was.
41:45
Speaker 10: I mean, it's it's I really love that show. It
41:48
Speaker 10: was really artistic and beautiful, but lots of dick jokes.
41:53
Speaker 10: Kind of like a good mix of uh, being artsy
41:55
Speaker 10: and not too full of it, like too serious in itself. Uh.
42:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like you've you've kind of described our show.
42:02
Speaker 1: Yeah yours, Yours actually sounds a little more high brow
42:06
Speaker 1: than Yeah.
42:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was some kind of like message somewhere in there.
42:11
Speaker 1: It's Ahmed Barucha right here inside the Treehouse. Back with
42:14
Speaker 1: more after this.
42:17
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse
42:22
Speaker 4: on Air dot com.
42:32
Speaker 3: Your visit us online a Treehouse on air dot com.
42:46
Speaker 1: This is the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with Jerry Caldwell,
42:49
Speaker 1: and our special little treat today is a man actually, uh,
42:55
Speaker 1: I think it is an actor comedian, Ahmed Barut Chip
43:01
Speaker 1: and we're not having him on just because of nepotism,
43:03
Speaker 1: because he's my cousin in law, but also because he's
43:05
Speaker 1: actually a genuinely funny and talented man. So thank you
43:09
Speaker 1: for taking the time and hopping on with us. And
43:11
Speaker 1: speaking of being a man and talented and funny, you've
43:15
Speaker 1: decided recently to share those talents with those who need guidance. Yes,
43:20
Speaker 1: so you're you're taking on pupils. Now you're actually you're
43:23
Speaker 1: doing something that very few dare and that is teaching
43:28
Speaker 1: comedy to the masses.
43:29
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I've been starting starting to teach stand up comedy.
43:32
Speaker 5: I've been stand up for twenty years.
43:34
Speaker 10: So I was, you know, trying to think a way
43:36
Speaker 10: to make money during the day, and I was like,
43:38
Speaker 10: I should become a teacher. And I was gonna be
43:40
Speaker 10: like get a history degree and a geography degree. I
43:43
Speaker 10: was like, wait, I shouldn't teach the thing I've been
43:45
Speaker 10: spending my whole life doing.
43:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, because because the other way that made you have
43:48
Speaker 1: to actually learn stuff.
43:49
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly.
43:51
Speaker 10: I was like it was like a month where I
43:53
Speaker 10: was like, I don't even know how to write a paper,
43:55
Speaker 10: but I guess I'll.
43:55
Speaker 5: Try to try to learn history. I do a lot
43:59
Speaker 5: of YouTube history. I could figure it out.
44:02
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that. You're right, because, I mean
44:04
Speaker 1: people make jokes all the time about YouTube university, but
44:07
Speaker 1: it is a real thing. I mean anywhere from learning
44:09
Speaker 1: how to change out on electrical socket to probably learning
44:13
Speaker 1: how to how to become a history teacher or just
44:15
Speaker 1: learn about history. Period it's all available there. That makes sense.
44:20
Speaker 10: Yeah, but say I've been teaching class and really loving it,
44:22
Speaker 10: and I do offer a zoom one too, So anyone
44:24
Speaker 10: out there can can also learn from from anywhere they are.
44:28
Speaker 1: Well, that's cool. So where can where can someone go? H?
44:32
Speaker 1: I know some radio people that need to learn about comedy.
44:35
Speaker 1: So what what website can I send them to to
44:38
Speaker 1: help them in their careers?
44:40
Speaker 5: Sure, it's Ahmed'scomedyschool dot com.
44:43
Speaker 1: Ahmed'scomedyschool dot com. Uh and uh and just so it's
44:49
Speaker 1: also out there as well. What are your socials?
44:52
Speaker 10: Ahmed Barucha on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, a little bit, Twitter,
44:58
Speaker 10: I never tweet, but mostly Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
45:03
Speaker 1: I guess you sound like us because I mean, at
45:05
Speaker 1: a certain point, there's so many platforms. Hey, which one
45:08
Speaker 1: am I going to actually work on? Because yeah, they're
45:10
Speaker 1: all different exactly.
45:12
Speaker 10: Instagram is probably the one I'm most active on, and
45:14
Speaker 10: I put out sketches on YouTube.
45:16
Speaker 5: Under Dead Kevin is my sketch group name.
45:19
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. We'll do that as well on our Instagram.
45:21
Speaker 1: That's probably where we're most active. Facebook and Instagram are
45:24
Speaker 1: a top two. Twitter was for a while and then
45:28
Speaker 1: I kind of fell off of that and then Trey,
45:30
Speaker 1: ironically enough, our co host, who's fifty years old, is
45:34
Speaker 1: the biggest TikToker among us. Oh we let him do that.
45:37
Speaker 5: Yeah.
45:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, so kind of like you were there, but it's not,
45:42
Speaker 1: yeah exactly, but yeah, if it's cool with you, we'll
45:45
Speaker 1: share some of your stuff on our Instagram as well. Yeah,
45:48
Speaker 1: that'll be awesome at Treehouse on air.
45:52
Speaker 5: Oh, I also have a dry bar special that they
45:54
Speaker 5: want me to promote.
45:54
Speaker 1: So go to drive Yeah do that.
45:56
Speaker 10: Yeah, drive Barcomedy dot com. I think, and you put
45:59
Speaker 10: my name in and I think I get some money
46:01
Speaker 10: for that.
46:03
Speaker 1: Anything we can do to help you in your growing
46:05
Speaker 1: family because we are we are technically family.
46:09
Speaker 4: Uh.
46:09
Speaker 1: My wife is married. So I almost said it again.
46:12
Speaker 7: I've done this before.
46:13
Speaker 1: And I've tried to describe it to people. My wife
46:15
Speaker 1: is married to his wife. No, that's a totally different Uh.
46:23
Speaker 1: Your wife and my wife are cousins, and we are
46:27
Speaker 1: tom slip again and make it even worse, But.
46:30
Speaker 5: We have different wives and they are related.
46:33
Speaker 1: Yes, and there's no crossing over anyway. That's how that's
46:37
Speaker 1: how we are related. And and the first time we met,
46:43
Speaker 1: do you remember that because I want Jerry to hear
46:45
Speaker 1: this story. I believe it was that, and it's very
46:51
Speaker 1: important that I ask you do you remember that? Because Jerry,
46:55
Speaker 1: that was a night that I played bartender, and when
46:57
Speaker 1: I played bartender, I have I have a problem.
47:03
Speaker 7: And so does everyone else.
47:05
Speaker 3: Yeah.
47:06
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not even sure if mom had remembered that night.
47:08
Speaker 1: Did we meet some people family?
47:12
Speaker 5: Who was that guy?
47:15
Speaker 1: I just knuck in? Yeah, No, we did, like it was.
47:19
Speaker 1: It was at their nana's house. So it was uh
47:22
Speaker 1: nana who was an amazing lady. Yeah, uh from the
47:25
Speaker 1: from the my check clan. And she lived into her nineties. Ever, yeah,
47:34
Speaker 1: by herself lived into her nineties. The house that she
47:38
Speaker 1: lived in and eventually passed away in was in Port Austin, Michigan.
47:42
Speaker 1: The tip of the thumb, as as my wife likes
47:44
Speaker 1: to say, and it's right. It was a beach house
47:46
Speaker 1: because it's a great lake. You can't see Canada at all.
47:49
Speaker 1: It's just it looks like the ocean.
47:50
Speaker 2: Ye.
47:51
Speaker 1: She and her husband built that house literally by hand.
47:55
Speaker 1: They have photos of it in the photo albums where
47:57
Speaker 1: she's like handing him the stones and he's setting them.
48:00
Speaker 1: So in that house is where Ahmed and I first met,
48:02
Speaker 1: and that's when I played bartender and we were on
48:04
Speaker 1: the top floor playing shuffle board for way too long,
48:05
Speaker 1: drinking way too.
48:07
Speaker 10: Okay, now I remember that.
48:10
Speaker 5: It's all coming back.
48:12
Speaker 1: It's still fuzzy, isn't it.
48:13
Speaker 5: You taste?
48:17
Speaker 1: That was not his fault.
48:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was not.
48:22
Speaker 1: So that's how that's that's the first time that we
48:24
Speaker 1: actually met. And then again for Ahmed and Abbey's wedding
48:28
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, which was very cool.
48:30
Speaker 5: That was fun.
48:33
Speaker 1: I didn't bartend that one, so good thing. You remember,
48:35
Speaker 1: you had the money and now now you and Abby
48:40
Speaker 1: you got a couple of kids, and and I saw
48:44
Speaker 1: this story and you were going to be on today.
48:45
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, this is perfect because, uh, how old
48:48
Speaker 1: is you? How old is your son now? Seven seven
48:51
Speaker 1: years old? Eventually he's going to be twelve and then
