0:24
Welcome back into the Treehouse. I'm Dan, O'Malley, joined of course by
0:28
Alfy Coy and also by Trey Trenholm and joining us. I think this actually
0:35
might be our first quote unquote real guest for the first time in a long
0:40
time back in the treehouse. The one and only Katie FW Fox Four's Steve
0:47
Noviello, Good afternoon. Oh you're kind Who was the fake? Who was
0:52
the first fake guest? Other people that are occasional recurring guests on the show,
0:58
like Everard Newton, our attorney Jerry. You remember Jerry? Oh?
1:02
Yes? And I'm familiar with Effort's work, aren't. We all are very
1:10
different? How did you get away with m moving your infro music overhe?
1:15
Did you remember? Consumers? Not not for the big evil record labeled?
1:30
Wow, we are off to a good start. We actually are. We
1:38
just don't call a whole lot of attention. Yeah, how can I edit
1:41
up the first five minutes of the show? Oh? Hello, Well,
1:49
it is nice to hear both of your voices. It's been a minute,
1:52
it has it has? Yeah, I'm not sure what happened. I don't
1:55
I don't think I ever received the uh the sorry you got fire or tips
2:00
treats delivery Alphie, did you get it? Or did Mike Reiner eat it?
2:04
No? He probably ate it. He's the type you see cookies and
2:07
just sent to the station and they were like, well, totally give it
2:10
to them. I was like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. People
2:14
there saying lots of things we're going to talk about today. No, you
2:23
know what I was actually curious about this um is getting fired in television,
2:30
similar to how you get fired in radio. You have to ask somebody who's
2:35
been fired. I knew it. I knew that was going to be the
2:38
answer, and that's the reason why I wrote it down. I've said to
2:39
myself, I bet Steve Novielle is going to say, I don't know,
2:43
Dan, I've never been fired from te I just think if I've ever been
2:46
fired from any job. Yeah, I mean, let's see. I mean
2:53
no, no, no, definitely not there. Uh no, yeah no,
3:00
all right, well let's let's let's go down your your resume. Roald
3:04
Quick, what was your first not your first TV job? What was your
3:07
very first job? I was thirteen years old, flinging frozen yogurt at Yummy
3:13
Yogurt, making two dollars eighty five cents an hour. Oh you and Meghan
3:15
Markle Yes, me and Megan were there together. Yeah. And then I
3:23
left there to become the customer service representative at Marshall's, quickly promoted to customer
3:30
service desk manager at one age fifteen sixteen. Holy, you know there were
3:38
full grown adults who were like, Steve, can I take my fifteen?
3:43
Yeah? Go go for it. I know how you old people need to.
3:47
I was right. I was in charge of returns and exchanges. I
3:51
was also which was my favorite part and I probably can still do it.
3:53
I was in charge of the evening announcements, like to tell me what the
4:00
store was going to closet. Let's say that that that we're in a Marshal's
4:05
and I'm there shopping for fantastic deals and you, Steve Novello, it's it's
4:11
you know, eight fifty eight, and you can tell. But I'm not
4:14
slowing down looking at h just amazing deals on shoes. How would you ask
4:19
me to politely exit the building and a time it up? So first of
4:24
all, I like to do it more than two minutes before closing. I
4:27
like to give you a full half hour warning so I you might hear something
4:30
like this. Okay, ready to I tend to wash your shoppers. The
4:34
time is now eight thirty pm. Our store will be closing an exactly one
4:39
half hour. Please bring your final selections to our registers for a quick,
4:42
kind and courteous check out. We do want to remind you, folks that
4:45
our jewelry counter, our customer service for turncounter, and our fitting rooms will
4:48
close fifteen minutes before the store closinging. We invite you to come back again
4:51
tomorrow for a great day of savings here at Marshall's. And you still got
4:56
it. You're not allowed to take on endorsements as as a journalist. Are
5:00
you actually on my Instagram bio? Says former Marshall's manager, Just because I
5:05
feel like it's so there's got to be so many of us, right,
5:09
Like, what do they always say, if you've ever worked at McDonald's,
5:11
put it on your resume, because chances are the guy across the table or
5:14
the woman across the table um has worked there too. Actually, I like
5:16
that idea. I like of putting on there someplace that seems random that you've
5:20
worked, especially especially if you're known in an industry that's very, very different.
5:27
Yeah, for sure for right now there fired there are Marshall's employees out
5:32
there right now that are listening to this, going, oh, holy crap,
5:36
I wonder where the war stories he could tell. Oh, we used
5:41
to have a woman. It was brilliant. So she would come and shop
5:44
the store. She had you know what Dennis and gun is um the the
5:47
you know, the plastic um, the thing that connects the paper tag to
5:53
the actual fabric tag, like that connects it shoots at a piece of plastic
5:58
right, that connects it right that you can't get the tag off without ripping
6:02
it right. It was called the Dennison gun. And that's that's how you
6:05
So she used to come into the store shop a whole bunch of stuff,
6:10
and because the inventory at Marshalls is so random, like we don't have you
6:13
know, twenty of each thing or like a new season, it's just random
6:16
stuff, she would buy a bunch of stuff, go home, take the
6:20
tags off of everything, take out her Dennison gun tag, like old stuff
6:25
she had around the house, and then come back and bring her receipt that
6:30
she had just you know, acquired by buying new stuff, which now matched
6:33
the tags that she had put on her old stuff and return everything. Um,
6:38
no one say anything for a brief moment. If you can look at
6:42
my face right now, do you see how wide my eyes are? Steve,
6:48
how do you know my sister? I was gonna say, was it
6:50
you? Did she do that? You're not from California? Are you?
6:59
No? The other post? Okay, okay, I don't think my sister
7:02
was by coastal in her in her fraudulent activities. But yeah, as soon
7:09
as you started mentioning the gun and the tags and taking them home, it
7:14
started to hit real close to home for me. Did she return the item?
7:18
Did she return the items to the same store? Oh yeah, oh
7:23
yeah she was no. I mean, and as the fifteen year old,
7:26
but behind the counter, I was like, I don't, I'm not gonna
7:30
hassle you for this lady, Like, I'll take it all back, you
7:33
know what. To my sister's credit, she at least went to different stores.
7:35
Yeah, real quick, I don't know if you guys have ever met
7:41
before, if I'm being rude, So inside the tree House, Steve Nove
7:45
Yellow Fox four Trey Tren home from of course the tree House. I think
7:48
we had Steve on I mean one time, maybe when I'm back in my
7:53
days. So, well, it's good to see you again. Nice see
7:56
You've we've actually grown an interesting bond with Steve over these recent years, since
8:05
since you left the radio show Trey, and not the least of which is
8:09
apparently him digging into my family history and presenting it in a fashion that seems
8:13
a little a little fishy to me. But we're just going to roll with
8:16
it for now. Yeah, a little a little familiar, a little familiar.
8:22
Okay. So, since you've never been fired from television because you're all
8:26
of them, what's it like when you've seen other people get canned? So,
8:31
oh god, you're gonna get me in trouble. Um. So it
8:35
doesn't happen often. I can tell you without naming stations that the process is
8:41
usually like, you know, uh, there's usually a ramp up because the
8:48
station would be like, Okay, we are now pre preparing for any resulting
8:54
lawsuit, so we need to document the heck out of this person's performance,
9:00
um, and make them miserable for the next six months until they either quit
9:03
or we've got enough on them to be able to say, hey, we
9:07
warned you for six months, you know. Um. So there's that.
9:11
Um, I've never really seen a whole lot of like, gosh, we
9:15
don't feel like this is working out? What can we do to help you
9:16
become more successful? There's not there's not a whole lot of that is there
9:22
is there in television? So in radio, this there's a thing that happens
9:26
fairly often. And I think this happens in other industries as well, But
9:28
I'm curious if it happens in television. You'll have someone in management that wasn't
9:33
very successful and for whatever reason, they get promoted that it's like someone above
9:39
them recognizes, Okay, you're not really good at this job. Let me
9:43
give you a better wood is see if you're see if you're better at this
9:46
job. Does that happen in TV? I feel like, um, you
9:50
are not making up this storyline. No, this is purely purely the dance
9:56
scabbing right now, he's scabbing. This is just in the middle of the
9:58
writer strike. This is all fake right exactly. You're just making this up.
10:05
I think that there's always you know, people who you're like, how
10:09
did this happen? Um? At least I've heard can we talk about something
10:15
else? I mean, this is very I'm sorry, Steve, I'm sorry.
10:18
I I you know, I'm not going to apologize. I love I
10:22
love hearing and watching you score them a little bit. Yeah, like like
10:26
to I'd like to maintain my never been fired track record. Please? Did
10:30
you have one clear management coming on with us? Do you have to clear
10:33
with management again? Because we're no longer on the radio station, it's sort
10:37
of a separate entity. I figured, well, maybe you go to management
10:41
and this and all that. Luckily our promotions guys a fan of yours and
10:46
you've always been. I'll tell I mean, I mean, if we're I
10:50
mean, way back in the day when I first moved into the market,
10:52
I was like, there's absolutely no way I would ever go on that show.
10:56
Because I used to do somebody's show in your building at the time when
11:00
you guys were back over off of STEMMENSUM and I was a pretty regular guest
11:03
on their show and they were on right before you UM, and I was
11:07
like, no, there's absolutely no way I would ever step put into that
11:11
studio. Never say never say never. Know here we are best buddies.
11:16
I got longer exists. I'm gonna throw out a name and this is just
11:22
completely obscure, but promo Joe isn't still there is. Oh my gosh,
11:26
I wish he was. So he was the best. Yeah he was.
11:30
He was the best. I mean you don't. They don't just hand that
11:33
name out, No, you have to earn that. It's a title,
11:35
there's a coronation and everything. Yeahs ancient Rock for sure. I mean he
11:41
and he loved I mean loved um. You know, it was not.
11:46
I mean sometimes I've been in situations, um, in my past years where
11:50
you know, you're working on something and you're like, oh my god,
11:52
and here's all the elements and here's you know, you know, for your
11:54
and they're like, you know, and then they come back with the most
11:58
generic like you know, to night at you know, eleven blah blah blah,
12:03
and you're like that really that's but Joe, I mean, I mean
12:05
everyone was like he was like Spielberg. I mean it was like every past
12:11
thirty seconds that everybody saw the promo voice guy. Now we're talking about the
12:16
different guy. He's hits in his like pajamas somewhere. I think in La
12:20
Promo Joe was one of our producers that was was in charge of like writing
12:24
and sometimes shooting promotional campaigns, either for like a whole campaign or for simply
12:30
like a special report that sometimes see see yeah, So like a lot of
12:33
times the television stations, the news, the TV news local, they'll do
12:39
like the big sweeping uh well, we'll do the package like you're talking about.
12:43
It might be like thirty seconds after air and it'll be like this sweeping
12:46
thing they're doing, like a helicopter U photography of downtown Dallas, you know,
12:52
Fort Worth over at the time, you know, you know Texas Stadium
12:56
or whatever, all these grand landmarks that are for milliar and then they zoom
13:01
in with a from a low angle because they're want to be Michael Bay,
13:05
directors of the of the News at ten anchor team, basically everything that the
13:11
movie Anchorman made fun of those promos right there, Yeah we did. Those
13:16
are image campaigns, we don't we. Yes, I have definitely been been
13:20
part of that in my past lives, for sure. But sometimes they just
13:26
write themselves, like that story we did years ago that I know you'll remember,
13:28
where the woman stole my identity and I was like, I've got an
13:31
amazing promo. There wasn't even a voice over for it. It was like
13:35
just like the sound it was like words on the screen like tonight at nine
13:41
Steve Noviello face to face, you know, with his identity thief, and
13:46
then you hear like the sound bite you picked the wrong guy, you know,
13:50
with this like really dramatic music. It was an awesome promo in fact,
13:54
because I shot it with my iPhone unknowingly actually got nominated for a photography
13:58
Emmy for that promo, which I always Raoul. I'm always like, yeah,
14:03
I'm an Emmy nominated photographer. Also. So by the way, Trey,
14:09
I don't know if in the conversation you had with no Viello back in
14:11
the day, but he's also a master at inserting all his Emmy awards in
14:18
yeah, have you won anymore in the last like six eight months since we
14:20
talked to you. I think he won one just now. No, I
14:26
have not. Um I I set it aside for a minute, you know
14:31
why, because now he just wins them passively like like he's a landlord.
14:35
Oh no no, no no no no no no no certainly not certainly not.
14:41
So I'm your how's your Marconi coming? Does that include podcasts? Now?
14:48
Or how does that? When does that work. You know, there's
14:52
there are podcast awards, and ironically enough I heard is one that that that
14:54
gives some of those out Um but mel An Award? Yeah, yeah,
15:01
that's that's not what you're smelling, Steve Um. The are we are we
15:05
discussing that at all? Or like? Is that? I'll just have to
15:09
text you later to figure out what happened? Figure out what? Like what
15:13
why we're not on the radio right now because people made some decisions that we
15:18
would not have made and they have to now live with the ramifications of those
15:22
decisions. Oh I dare you speak to truth? Alphie? That's too much
15:26
truth. Wow. I'm not speaking disparagingly of anyone or any of my former
15:31
co workers, nor would I want anyone to speak disparagingly of them. But
15:35
none of us here would have made the same decisions that were made. Well
15:39
for sure, all right, I wouldn't have fired me either. It does
15:43
go back to the original question about management. You know you fail in another
15:48
market. Oh okay, well let's give you a bigger market, because then
15:50
you'll succeed. Yeah. I do see that in other industries. I will
15:54
say, like friends of mine who work in like finance, let's say,
15:58
or you know some other kind of like again, TV is such a weird
16:03
we don't really have a traditional office life. Um there there is a more
16:07
of a traditional management hierarchy, but it's more so like in I'll see a
16:12
lot of friends in other in other industries that are like, what, like
16:15
this person just got promoted to like a director or a VP or you know
16:18
something, and they're like they you know what, how did how did that
16:22
happen? Who do they have photos of? Is really the kidding lask well
16:26
that that question gets asked in radio stations as well. Often Yeah, the
16:32
um so, the very short version like this even shorter version of what Alfie
16:37
gave is is something that happens in radio fairly often, but rarely happens in
16:41
television, which is the radio station change formats. And we were on the
16:45
way, Yeah, that was it, even though I would think premiere show
16:49
that you'd want on that format, but hey, not our decisions. You
16:53
guys were on for I mean again not to you know, blow smoke up,
16:56
you know, but um, you held it for a really long time.
17:00
I mean I remember way back in the day, like again when I
17:03
used to go and then like do pugs and Kelly and like that era.
17:07
It was like this week we're a sports station, and this week we're indie
17:10
rock, and this week we're going to be a you know, classic rock
17:12
station, and this week we're going to be you know. And it was
17:14
I mean, it was really obviously do Jagger Show as well, and it
17:18
was it it really. I feel like the format change happened pretty frequently.
17:23
I mean, you guys were there for quite a while, and I do
17:27
have to say would would shift its focus every so often. Then eventually it
17:32
straight up changed the format into a more focused one, which was just sports.
17:37
And that's pretty much what happened with with ninety seven one. It was
17:41
it was one format, then they started changing to some different things, and
17:44
then then they decided to switch to one thing. Yeah, and so it
17:47
was not a disparaging This is not a disparaging statement at all. But uh,
17:52
the only people that have ever beat in the ratings, Uh everyone on
17:56
that station now is us. That's it. How did you speak more true?
18:03
You've got to keep black Thunder or whatever I got, I got it
18:06
right here. Oh that's Alphie's totally Alphie's and it's in your on your lawn
18:10
er yes, you're sitting right there. I'm looking at it. It's up
18:11
on blocks and Alphie, you might want to preface that is the people who
18:21
had beaten those those other the current lineup in the ratings before they made the
18:26
format correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because now like you could say
18:30
that about w r R, that's true. Yeah, yeah, I think
18:33
KCBI can say that they still are KCBI. Steve dr Are you familiar with
18:38
KCYBI. I'm like, I think we're getting a little esoteric here, so
18:44
I'm more familiar with it because I don't know if it's still there. But
18:47
KCBI is a small Christian radio station that was at least when I was in
18:52
high school in Arlington. It's studio was right off of I thirty in the
18:56
middle of Arlington and you'd drive past it frequently. And full disclosure, the
19:03
minister that that officiated my wedding to my wife, Tara Is was a weekend
19:11
host at KCBI. Oh my god, are you kidding me? Dan?
19:14
And that guy has had more rating success. How have I never heard this?
19:18
How have I never heard that you had another radio host officiate your wedding?
19:23
So I didn't know it for o So here's the very brief story.
19:30
Tara had found somewhere researched a place to find wedding officients because neither one of
19:36
us or hardcore churchgoers, so we needed someone performed the ceremony, something simple,
19:40
something basic. She found this company and they recommended this guy that they
19:45
worked with, and we met with him. I forget where we met with
19:48
him. It was like a diner or something. And within the first two
19:51
minutes all we've done is introduced ourselves. This is Tara, I'm Dan,
19:55
we're getting married on this date. What kind of ceremony do you want?
19:57
Blah blah blah. That was really about it until he says, because I
20:02
just want to let you guys know, like I'm you know, I'm very
20:04
comfortable speak in front of a crowd. I actually I actually do radio.
20:10
I have a weekend show on CASEYBI, to which I looked at him.
20:15
I just went, that's great. Well, you know, I'm something of
20:19
a radio man myself. Myself, well, you know what, I just
20:23
kept that to myself, despite the fact that I'd say a strong thirty percent
20:27
of the attendees at our wedding. We're also in media, and this guy
20:33
was he was talking about mad I got a weekend Joe on CASEYBI. It's
20:37
like, that's awesome, dude. Did it make it difficult to have a
20:40
wedding on the weekend as well? I mean, did he have to get
20:42
the day off of work or yeah, he had to run dust of I
20:45
kind of felt bad, but the officiating gig paid better than CACYBI from my
20:52
hat in the ring that you were looking for an efficient but I guess it's
20:55
too late now. If you ever renew, let me know. No,
20:57
you are too tall and way too good looking to be standing there. I
21:02
need to be the pretty ones. Steve and the folks at Casey B I
21:07
Dan, don't worry about him and having to run best of that one time.
21:08
They're doing fine. They are pretty much a ratings juggernaut at this point.
21:12
With who they're beating and where are they they are, I think,
21:21
well and they may maybe maybe they're tied for twenty third on the quarter hour.
21:29
You'd think the best of God would at least break the top twenty And
21:37
this is when we all went to hell. Is anybody you're in the treehouse,
21:44
Swet, Dan O'Malley and Alfie Coy Rodney Anderson joins us in the treehouse
22:06
right now. His phone number that you'll need right now, nine seven two
22:08
nine eight fifty two hundred, that's nine seven two nine eight five fifty two
22:12
hundred, or his website anytime, Rodney Anderson dot com. Rodney on this
22:17
today, let's start homeowners. Obviously, it's very important for us and for
22:22
people in general to own our homes. And I'm wondering if you could share
22:25
with us today the top three reasons why people are buying homes right now.
22:30
Well, Number one is to build equity, because as home values continue to
22:33
move higher, and as you pay your mortgage down, you create what's called
22:37
equity, and that equity can be used for a lot of different things.
22:41
You could do a cash out refinance if you get to the fight financial trouble.
22:45
You could sell a house down the road if you grow out of your
22:47
house, and use that as a substantial down payment. So building equity is
22:51
very important. Number two stability. People never talk about this, but owning
22:55
a home can provide a lot of stability and a sense of security for you
23:00
in your family, you know, versus the neighbors having their music up as
23:04
loud as they want in the apartment complict like, and there's tax benefits.
23:08
You can have tax benefits for many times when you own a home because you
23:14
may be able to deduct more and the interest in the taxes on the property.
23:18
And I'll throw a fourth one in here. It's called personalization. We
23:22
had a buyer just close on their house that wrote as a great email and
23:25
said, I love that I can personalize my house now. I can paint
23:29
the walls the way I want to and don't have rental situations down the road
23:33
when I move out and added expenses, and I can personalize my house.
23:38
I can put my own paintings up, I can have my own furniture in
23:41
there. It's a lot different than renting, and a lot of people like
23:45
that whole idea. Plus, it's great to raise a family in a home
23:48
versus an apartment. Definitely. And it's amazing because I remember when I first
23:52
bought my home with you working as my lender. People said, well,
23:56
you know, you're not gonna have that same freedom that you had kind of
24:00
come and go whenever you want. It's like, no, actually, I'm
24:02
going to have more freedom because, like you said, I can do whatever
24:04
I want in my house. I don't have a landlord or an apartment company
24:07
to answer to. And that's one of the great benefits that that that sometimes
24:11
I think people forget. Well. The first thing is in the first step,
24:15
though, Dan, before you go out and do all that, you've
24:17
got to be preapproved up front. Definitely, you Oh, what price range
24:19
are you looking at? What are my payments going to be? How much
24:22
money am I going to need? What mortgage options are best for yourself.
24:26
Don't set yourself up for a failure looking for a seven hundred thousand dollar home
24:30
if you only qualify or your payment and your budget only fits a five hundred
24:34
thousand or home. Yeah, so this is there one of the many reasons
24:38
why you need to call Rodney and his team when you're ready to buy that
24:41
home called nine seven two nine eighty five fifty two hundred nine seven eight five
24:45
fifty hundred or again anytime Rodney Anderson dot Com. Thanks Rodney, Thanks yea,
24:51
And if M Lending is an equal housing lender three thousand, Village Parkway
24:52
Stite, four hundred Hihland Village, Texas and MLS two three two nine.
25:03
You're in Luke Treehouse with Dan O'Malley and Alfie Cord. That is correct,
25:11
you are back in the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley, Alfie Cooi is here,
25:15
Trey Trenholm is here, and somehow we didn't scare him off yet,
25:18
although I'm sure it's inevitable. Fox Fours Steve Nova Yellow is in the treehouse
25:23
today. We love, we absolutely love having you, Steve, so thank
25:26
you for being back with us. Well, I appreciate you asking me back
25:30
real quick before we jump in with everything you've been up to lately. This
25:36
segment is brought to you by Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration, the website cookedfw
25:41
dot com. That is cook dfw dot com. You can schedule a free
25:45
roof inspection right now if you just go to cook dfw dot com give them
25:49
a call. It's storm season. It's only a matter of time before you're
25:52
going to need someone to come take a look at your roof to see if
25:55
you have any damage or how bad the damage is. We in the Treehouse
25:57
recommend cook dfw dot com. See Steve, we're actually finding a way to
26:03
uh you know, uh well, not make a total living at this when
26:07
we still have to panhandle some but still not bad, right, I'm sorry?
26:11
What was that website again? Was it cook dfw dot com? God,
26:15
you are a professional at this. That is correct, Steve. If
26:18
you want, we'll wait for you to get a pin. But while you
26:19
get a pin so you can write down, I'll tell you again it is
26:22
cook dfw dot com. What kind of roof do you guys have on the
26:26
treehouse? I'd have to ask h Daniel cook that because he's the one that
26:32
installed it. And it's a bunch of fancy words that I didn't know,
26:33
but I think it's one of those thatched. Yeah, well it was that
26:40
beforehand, but then we got a roofing company to sponsors, and now now
26:44
we got something fancy. Oh mightbe like a clay tile. Yes, very
26:48
Spanish. Yeah, yeah, we've gone Mediterranean and yet very big in my
26:53
neighborhood. All right, So we we sort of caught up a little bit
26:59
early year as far as what we've been up to, which is kind of
27:02
obvious, and then what sort of happened? It sounds so pathetic, Dan,
27:07
What what do you say we've been up to, which is pretty obviously
27:11
sitting around and just eating nothing but leftoor pizzas and sadness, just been wallowing
27:18
in our own depression, and well we didn't say it specifically, but it
27:22
was certainly implied. Well, I mean, but doing it all with the
27:26
absolute assurance that you don't have to worry about a leaky roof. So,
27:30
I mean, there's the plans of the plus side right there. Thank you
27:33
Steve for bringing us back on time, and you don't have to worry about
27:37
the mortgage for it, su treehouse, especially with braids today. Man,
27:42
that's that's that's a good deal. That's a good deal. Now we just
27:45
decided to go with squatters rights. We're just on the back of somebody's property
27:51
and they just don't know it yet. So what have you been up to
27:55
lately, Steve? Know? A yellow from Fox for you know. So
27:57
it's been kind of crazy. I've been actually filling in quite about. I'm
28:00
working mornings quite a bit lately because everyone on the morning she was getting married,
28:04
Yes, well Hannah and Shannon both. Shannon just had her wedding,
28:08
so that was two weeks for the wedding and then her and her now husband
28:14
went to the Maldives for their animoon. I saw a couple of photos of
28:21
that were there did anyone from Fox four get an invitation or did she just
28:23
stiff everybody? Oh? No, I was invited. I mean Alex Boyer
28:27
was there, Hannah was there. Nice. Yeah, we could make it,
28:32
you know. It was that in Austin. It's a really cool outdoor
28:34
venue m with a really beautiful wedding. It was just kind of a lot
28:40
with us and the kids, and we couldn't get you know, we would
28:41
need to sit her and all that other kind of stuff. So we just
28:45
we just sent a gift. But uh yeah, So she was out,
28:48
so I was in for her. And now Hannah is out. She's away
28:53
for her birthday, and then in a couple of weeks she'll be away again
28:59
because actually both of them will be away because now it's Hannah's wedding. I
29:03
believe it's in June. That is a lot of time off. Are y'all
29:07
one of those companies that has quote unquote unlimited time off? No? No,
29:12
no, no no no, you just did you just pause and count
29:15
all your vacation days? And um we I will say Fox does have a
29:23
really nice um vacation schedule for us, but it's not unlimited. No,
29:27
we don't, Okay, Yeah, do you know about that whole scam,
29:32
right, but when they do unlimited PTO, yes, yeah, So Doug
29:36
and I were talking about that because his We actually were at dinner the other
29:40
night with an executive from another credit union. They were talking about that,
29:44
and it's interesting and that you kind of refer to it that way because what
29:49
happens generally is when you give people unlimited time off, they tend to take
29:53
less time off than they do. So if you say to something you've got
29:56
three weeks, you're like, oh, my gosh, I better take the
29:59
full three weeks before lose it. But if you're like, oh, you've
30:00
got an unlimited time off, next thing, you know, the year has
30:03
passed and you've only taken two and you're like, okay, cool, that
30:06
was fun. Yeah, I've never left I have never left vacation time on
30:10
the table. Oh god, no, no, I'm taking it. And
30:12
I will say this though, I totally screwed up on my sick leave because
30:15
there is that guilty conscience thing that you get conditioned in America that you have
30:21
to, you know, just to show up to work no matter what,
30:23
like unless you're dead, you still go to work. So like when we
30:26
all got let go. When the station changed formats last year, I had
30:32
over thirty days of sick days piled up that I got nothing for same,
30:38
nothing for in California. We have to pay you out a percentage of that.
30:41
Yeah, well we don't live in California. Ah. Yeah, we
30:45
used to have unlimited sick which changed. But what one of the nice things
30:49
is that our vacation didn't roll over until several years ago. Now it does,
30:56
which is nice. But also we just like you guys. I mean,
30:57
we're not closed on Christmas, were not closed on m Okay, we're
31:00
not closed on President's Day. We're not closed on the fourth of July.
31:03
We're not you know, so all of that kind of racks up pretty quickly
31:06
as well. If you work. There's also trade days, and it's all
31:11
it's all sorts of you know, it's it's it's we're treated well, which
31:15
is nice that And so what they like to do is when everyone, like
31:18
when these anchors on at Fox four gone vacation or they get married or birthdays
31:23
or you know, they lost a tooth, it seems they got to call
31:26
you to come in and do the early morning anchor desks stuff because you know
31:32
they're off, you know, gallivanting. So how does how do you like
31:36
having to shift to that morning show schedule? You know what? It's actually,
31:40
Um, it's not terrible. So one of the things I will say
31:42
is that I've been really fortunate over I mean, I've been there for it's
31:45
going to be twenty years in October, which is insane. And I have
31:52
done all of the shows. I mean I do good day, I do
31:52
mid days, I do the five, six, and nine. I've done
31:56
weekends, I've done weekend mornings. So it's nice. You know, I
32:00
feel like I'm kind of the only person who does that. Like you would
32:04
have never seen, you know, Tim Ryan filling in for Steve Eager.
32:07
You know, um, it just wouldn't happen, right, Um, So
32:10
I really kind of enjoy that because at that point it would have looked like
32:14
that Steve Eager's wish expired at midnight. Wow. Wow, Look I'm not
32:25
you won't lose your job, Steve. That joke is all about perspective.
32:30
If if if you think that was an ugly slam on Tim Ryan, that's
32:34
on you. To me, that joke is more about how pretty Steve Eager
32:37
is. I mean, so pretty. Let's I mean, I have to
32:40
wear sunglasses when he's on TV and he smiles because his teeth reflect brighter than
32:45
the sun. I mean Eager, I think he's sixty and he looks great.
32:51
Really, I mean yeah, yeah, he does that make him?
32:57
Is he a granddad? Is he a guilt He's definitely a grand factor.
33:04
I won't make me try to answer. The question is to you Dan,
33:07
If you think he's a guilt Dan, than he is. Yeah, that
33:09
is true. Again, that's all about kind of a really question for me.
33:13
But if you think so, then you know he's got some serious juice.
33:19
I don't want to know about Steve Eager's juice. Okay, Yeah,
33:23
anyways, ovulation rates elevate during the nine PM newscast, and this is why
33:30
Fox four it didn't want Steve coming on the show. Oh God, I'm
33:36
gonna throw you a life preserver. Okay, I'm gonna throw you a life
33:38
preserver. So how else? How else has your schedule been so crazy lately?
33:44
What else have you been up to? Yeah? No, so it's
33:45
been good. Honestly. I get up at two in the morning, I'm
33:47
at the station by three. The newscast starts at four, UM, I
33:52
because I have my regular job that I have to do. Also, I'm
33:54
really fortunate that they allow me to then do that job, which means I
34:00
can also be home before my kids even wake up for the day, UM,
34:04
get them ready, to get them off to school, and then kind
34:06
of return to work. UM. So it's actually, um, it's it's
34:09
it's it's been great um. And it's a really nice it's a nice place
34:14
to visit right like you get the itch scratch. I don't know that I,
34:17
you know, would want that is my permanent schedule because you know that
34:21
the sleep situation does become a little cumbersome. But it's it's fun. It's
34:24
a fun morning. And you know, Shannon and Hannah are both are both
34:28
super fun to work with. UM. I honestly think that we um.
34:31
I mean the best stuff is during the commercial breaks. I mean, because
34:35
we just are like a couple of Yenta's out there, you know, catching
34:37
up on you know whatever else. So UM, but yeah, no,
34:40
it's the it's been good. I was just actually doing a charity event with
34:45
Shannon on UM when Wednesday last week. It was for Reliant Energy. They
34:51
do a home run derby, So the yend liners are the Dallas Cowboys.
34:57
Um, that's like what the people show up for. Right before that starts,
35:00
they have like a media league where all of these media people, um
35:05
go up in batum. So it was like this year, I don't know,
35:08
do you know Bree and Ranthus from Sports Illustrated, Um, Shannon,
35:14
the sports guy from Channel five, the weather guy from Channel eight, whether
35:17
one of the other meteorologist from URNE eleven Hawkeye was one of the people.
35:21
Are you not allowed to say the names of personalities other news stations? Like
35:23
when you say that, like the sports guy at Channel five, do you
35:27
mean NEWI scrugs, No, well Newie works. I mean a minute,
35:30
is he still here? Yeah? I got him? Um No, Actually,
35:35
you know what, So I butchered this guy's name. It took me
35:37
until like the tenth his tenth swing for someone to like, somebody shouted it
35:43
enough times that I finally heard it. I don't know why I thought Pat's
35:45
last name was Doooney. Uh, it's not. Um, it's And I'm
35:52
so tripped up in my mind about it that I still don't know if it's
35:54
Donnie or Donnie. UM, I believe it any way, He wons Um,
36:00
he probably thinks that he probably thinks that you hate him. No,
36:05
we actually had a nice moment talking about his son and his charity and whatever.
36:07
Super nice guy. UM. And then the meteorologists from UH eight whether
36:14
guy Kyle I think his name was UM. Really it just goes by Kyle.
36:19
But I don't just say that to be shady. But like people were
36:22
always like, oh, you know, like like so the media all just
36:25
from KTVT. We were talking about um, you know, being up early,
36:29
Shannon and I, UM, and I was like, we should give
36:30
Shannon an extra thousand dollars because she got up so early, and she was
36:34
the girl was like, I do mornings also, and I was like,
36:37
oh, I mean I'm either on the air or I'm sleeping, so I
36:40
don't really tune in, you know, to the other shows to see,
36:45
you know, like what like who's on the air. You know, it's
36:47
an a thing to say, Yeah, you have to say, I can't
36:52
watch, right, I can't watch. Her eyes are all bloodshot, she's
36:55
shaking because she's overcaffeinated, wishing for an extra thousand dollars you know, Um,
37:00
yeah, no, but it was good, so I, uh,
37:04
you know, I I think you're familiar with my sports prowess. I did
37:07
not that, Um, but I did not, you know. I mean,
37:10
that's a lot of trauma. Let's let's just call it. I mean
37:14
that's like, oh god, I mean that's like you're supposed to be hitting
37:19
the baseball but instead you're taking swings at the meteorologists at other stations. Like
37:23
I'm supposed to be hitting the baseball, but instead I'm like picking flowers in
37:27
the outfield. I mean, this is my childhood, right, you know,
37:30
you know your place is behind a microphone. Oh right, Like let's
37:34
you know you you you know your skill set and that's that. But what
37:37
was funny about it was so I didn't realize that I would also be responsible
37:42
for like color commentary during the home run derby, and there's a lot of
37:47
downtime, Like there's a lot of filler like between like swinging and the next
37:52
pitch. And you know what, you found out the hard way. The
37:57
one thing that's more difficult than playing baseball is talking baseball. Yeah, I
38:01
mean, and I don't at least it was baseball football. My god,
38:05
I would have been totally lost, But luckily Doug has made me watch Major
38:08
League like a thousand times. So I was pretty much holding all of my
38:13
color commentary. Too bad half that movie you can't say on TV right exactly?
38:17
You know, swayamous? You know so well, the next time they
38:22
do something like that and they try to make you do something sports, you
38:24
give us a call. We'll give you hand. We'll come in there and
38:27
give you some color commentary and give get a great that very nice jersey they
38:30
gave you, like a reliant baseball jersey. So I'm feeling pretty special.
38:34
Um And of course, so I was there on behalf of Grant Haliburton Foundation,
38:37
which is an amazing charity that deals with team suicide and mental health.
38:43
UM. So they were kind enough to donate money to them as well,
38:45
even though I was not one of the people because the media folks who were
38:50
there, um, you bat and based on the never hits you get and
38:52
where they end up, you get certain increments of cash for your charity.
38:57
So it was a pretty cool event. Competition a check. Why do they
39:02
do that? Why do they tie it to competition? Why not just you
39:05
know, cut everyone a big ass check, like it's It's always kind of
39:07
struck on me. It's sad. Like, you know, somebody goes on
39:10
wheel of Fortune and you know, does horribly and now their charity gets gets
39:16
you know, less than than the guy who was over there kicking ass on
39:20
the other side. I know what you mean. He's like, like,
39:22
if if someone's out there and they're trying to compete and they're they're you know,
39:25
participating on behalf of the kids from Shiners or Shriners, and that kid
39:29
from Shriners doesn't get the new arm. Well, everyone did get money for
39:34
showing up, and then there was kind of money on top of you know,
39:37
so um yeah, it was a cool and if it was that um
39:40
where the rough Riders play, which is a really beautiful facility. Um,
39:45
so it was nice to be able to to be up there and uh in
39:47
Frisco. That was go ahead, stee, No, that's it. How
39:52
did you get started with the Grant Haliburton Foundation? By the way, you
39:54
know that I went to high school with the founder of that, right Amy,
39:59
with Vanita? Oh well with her daughter Amy. Um yeah, no,
40:04
yeah, Amy, who is like Alphie help old dark one. Vanita?
40:08
Um yeah, no, a friend of mine actually does. And I'm
40:13
going to butcher his title, but I think he does like development for them
40:17
and he had asked me years ago, Hey, would you m see an
40:20
event for us, and I was like, yeah, sure, like of
40:22
course. Um. And I've gotten to know Amy and Vanita and their family
40:27
Grants um, you know, sister and mom um, over the years and
40:31
they it is one of the most well organized charities. And it's it's such
40:37
boots on the ground action. I mean, they are in the schools,
40:39
they are helping kids, they are helping families there. I mean, it
40:44
really is amazing. And of course the story about Grant and how he died
40:46
and you know by you know, by suicide. UM, I mean we
40:51
just had there. So so I've am seed a bunch of their events.
40:54
UM. The most one, the one most recently was the Beacon of Hope
40:58
luncheon and Dak Prescott and Solomon Thomas were the special guests, um, you
41:02
know, because both of them have you know, mental health stuff in their
41:06
families. UM. It was great. The sports anchor from CBS eleven was
41:10
kind of the moderator for that part of the conversation. UM. I think
41:15
we had like seven hundred people for lunch at the Omni. It was really
41:17
a beautiful Um. Event and it raised a ton of money. So I've
41:22
been with them for a long time. Are you worried that Scott Murray is
41:24
going to take a hit out on you? You know, I haven't seen
41:29
Scott Murray in a long time. Um, but I see him. I
41:34
see him like once a week. It eats. He's oh do you he's
41:39
thinner, but his tu pay is fuller? So wait does so if you're
41:43
seeing if you're seeing Scott Murray, it eats, he's does eats. He's
41:45
like need an MC all the time? Is either like announcing people's sandwiches as
41:50
they're coming through. That's not an MC. That just means you worked there,
41:54
Scott. I mean talk about people who it's like looking at the sun.
41:59
I mean you said Steve Eager earlier. I mean I feel like Scott's
42:01
Scott's he has that, like, you know, the charisma of like a
42:06
William Shatner and miss congeniality. I mean, you know, I actually I
42:12
number one, I agree with you. Number two. I actually saw Scott
42:14
Murray at a at a Blockbuster on two years ago, and and you're right,
42:17
it really was. It's like, man, he's walking around the store,
42:21
you know, pointing out Ethernet cables like they just won the swimsuit competition,
42:24
right, Um, yeah, yeah, he's a he's a good guy
42:30
and does quite a bit for for charity as well, which is nice.
42:32
Yeah. So that's that's that where we know we're working on some stuff Raoul
42:36
as well, He says, Hi, Um, we don't get to spend
42:37
as much time together right now because of our differing schedules, but all all
42:42
as well. Uh, it's a real quick trey. Raoul is Steve Novaeo,
42:47
Steve Noviello's personal photographer. He's he's the one that I work with most
42:53
often and that I prefer to work with because he's the one that doesn't get
42:58
to work unless Novaello calls him out of the cave. And he's really funny,
43:04
Like we just have a really fun time. We spent a lot of
43:07
time together. It's like having it's like being a cop and having like a
43:09
partner, you know what I mean. Like you spent a lot of time
43:12
in the car, a lot of time talking about stuff. I mean,
43:15
it's it's a pretty you know. Um. And he's he's really funny and
43:19
he's a good guy. He's a very good dude. Yeah, so you
43:22
had mentioned I think you went you went to the zoo recently with with your
43:25
family. Did you bring Raoul along or did you make him stay in the
43:30
car. No, So this was a field I was shap running a field
43:32
trip for my son's kindergarten class. And uh, it was great, it
43:37
was I didn't well. So first of all, I didn't realize it was
43:39
like when I was a kid, like you went on a field trip and
43:42
like the whole class hung out together, and they were like several parents there
43:45
that like made sure nothing out of a hand. So this was like we
43:49
got as signed a couple of kids each. Um. And not only was
43:52
it just my son's class, but it was the entire kindergarten. And apparently
43:55
it was like field trip day at the zoo because they were like hundreds of
44:00
kids there from all sorts of schools. But it was a good time.
44:02
Um. And I'll tell you the I mean, in full disclosure. The
44:06
only thing more annoying than your child asking you to buy the ice cream every
44:09
five seconds is somebody else's kid asking you about the ice cream. Oh god,
44:14
other people's kids, Like I don't know, Like I don't know,
44:17
like I mean for all I know, like I worked the cafeteria line at
44:21
the school, like I volunteer there. Like it'll come up like you know,
44:24
no gluten, you know, and the kids got like a peanut butter
44:28
and jelly sandwich. I'm like, hey, like it says you're not supposed
44:30
to eat that. And I'll be like, now you're fine, Like I
44:32
mean eating away child that is not mine right, like I you know,
44:37
I mean if it was a peanut allergy, then maybe I would be a
44:39
little bit more. But I was like yeah, I so you know again,
44:45
So like when a kid's like, oh, will you buy me?
44:47
You know whatever, I'm like, I don't like it. I don't know
44:51
if your mom wants you having such Like I'm not your parents. That's not
44:53
the decision I can make for you. Yeah. Now, was there a
44:57
did your kids have a favorite animal at the zoo or if favor exhibit?
45:00
Um, So there's like a play it was really hot. So there was
45:05
like a playground with water that they really liked. They we did feed the
45:07
giraffe. We paid the six dollars for a piece of lettuce and fed the
45:10
giraffe. Uh So they liked that certainly, see did you see the nude
45:17
uh dinosaur exhibit? We did. We went through the dinosaur exhibit. That
45:22
was pretty cool about I kept telling you because they were like petting them,
45:27
which you're not really supposed to do. So I was saying to them that
45:30
there's one of them that's actually real, and you won't figure it out until
45:34
you touch the wrong one and it bites your hand off. I love how
45:37
you parents immediately stopped the petting of the dinosaur, and then at the end
45:44
they were like, which one was it? Like you said one of them
45:46
was alive. I don't know. They don't tell the parents either. We
45:50
it's all a surprise for all of I don't know. I guess you know
45:53
you should go ask that kid with the one armed, see which one it
45:57
was? One from Shriner's exactly. Did you did you see the hippo exhibit?
46:02
You know what? We didn't, although one of the kids was like,
46:05
I want to see the hippos and I was like, they're not here
46:07
today. It was so hot. We were like four hours in at this
46:12
point. I was like, we're we're good, buddy. Oh. I
46:15
would have should have taken the kids there because then you could explain to the
46:17
I'm watching the hippo's poop. How that works? Did they have you?
46:22
Have you differently than other animals? Oh? My gosh. If y'all never
46:25
seen the so hippo's large, you know, huge animals. They have a
46:30
little tiny tail and when they poop, that tail goes wild and it looks
46:36
like, you know, a spreader, like if you were fertilizing your yard.
46:38
That's what they do with their poop. And that tail goes wild and
46:42
it just spreads all over the place. It's a fascinating and gross. Are
46:45
they like a pellet like a deer? Or are they more of Ah?
46:51
Wow? Is it? Is it more like? What? Okay? Why
46:53
am I asking this? Is it more like a spray? Yes? Is
46:59
it like kids in the middle of Hill's kitchen in the summer and like popping
47:01
a fire extinguisher. It's like if you were ever really hung over in eight
47:05
taco bell the night before. I know exactly what you mean. I know
47:12
that all too well. If you're in the treehouse, sweet Dan, O'Malley
47:15
and Alfie Koy, time now to welcome into the treehouse. Jacqueline from Brooks

47:40
you. The phone number for Brooks Plumbing two one four three six eight thirty

47:47

47:52
So I was wondering, I think you told me this before. What percentage
47:57
of homes have a leak and the homeowner just doesn't know about it? Oh?
48:02
Okay, so there's I don't think that there's a real statistic out there,
48:07
but in the DFW metroplex, I my assumption, my guestimate would be
48:10
probably about fifty fifty. And it's actually a really fun story because I just
48:15
bought a new house for myself in July of last year, and I asked
48:20
the seller. I said, I really want to take a look at the
48:22
sewer system specifically, because if you're gonna have a leak in Texas, it's
48:25
more likely that you've got a sewer leak that you don't know about versus a
48:29
water leak, because if you had a water leak, your water bell would
48:30
be high et cetera, et cetera. But so he gave me permission to
48:35
test the sewer and it came back and there was a leak. Well,
48:37
there was actually a leak smack dab in the middle of the house. And
48:43
they were like, well, it's just not possible. It's all PVC,
48:45
it's already been replaced because it was originally cast iron. I'm like, no,
48:49
it leaks, and they did not believe it. They got their own
48:52
company to come out there and take a look at it. Their company confirmed,
48:55
indeed there was a leak, and we were able to actually negotiate a
49:00
handful of money off the final sale price of that house. But these these
49:04
sellers had been in that house, living in it for years, had no
49:06
idea there was a leak. And most people don't don't find out they've got
49:10
a leak until all of a sudden there's a backup. You do not want
49:14
to be ankle deep in sewage. But if you end up ankle deep in
49:16
sewage, I can fix it. So don't don't let it ruin your day.
49:21
Yeah, you want you want your andy do frame story to be your
49:24
idea as opposed to it just kind of happening to you and next thing you
49:30
know, you're next to a poop fountain. So uh, I don't know
49:32
if you want to use this on the side of your vans or anything,
49:35
but avoid the poop fountain called Brooks Plumbing at two one four three six eight

52:28
Steve, have you ever heard of a game that we've played on the show
52:30
for many, many years? Why are you afraid? What? What did
52:34
I say? God? Okay, are you familiar with the little game on
52:39
the show that we've played for years called could the answer BC now perfect?
52:45
It doesn't matter because the answer is always see there's no trick to this.
52:51
That's really just the rules of the game. It's the world's dumbest game.
52:54
That's why we play it's it's easy. So I'm going to ask you a
52:59
series of multiple questions. I'm going to read all the multiple choices, and
53:01
the answer is always going to be C. Okay, okay, all right,
53:06
Alphie, you have the fancy intro. So it looks like we're slick.
53:08
Ye ready you'll it's time to play the game that it wasn't slick.
53:15
It wasn't slick. Now it's time to play the game that even a dumb,
53:20
dipsh fucking moron could win. Let's play. Could the answer be C?
53:25
And now here's your host, Dad, old Mally. Thank you,
53:30
thank you, thank you very much. Yes, any of those descriptions are
53:34
obviously qualifying you to play this game, including you, Steve Nova Yellow.
53:37
You might be you might be really hitting below the Mendoza line on this one,
53:42
but that's a baseball reference, by the way, Yeah over my head,
53:46
I didn't get it. Huh. All right, So here we are
53:51
again. I'm going to read you a number of multiple choice questions. You
53:53

54:00
here we go. There are number one. There are some ridiculously hot
54:06
anchors and reporters who work at Fox four. But the one, the one
54:10
who is the most attractive, is clearly a Steve Eager, B Knabata or
54:16
C. Steve Noviello. I'm gonna go with C. Johnny. That is
54:22
correct, Manin' not Johnny. I feel like it should be for this segment.
54:25
I'm just gonna fine. If you want to role play with me,
54:30
Steve, we can do. Dan O'Malley, that's me. Dan O'Malley keeps
54:35
adding things to his resume. His newest addition is a broadcaster that's cold B
54:42
wedding efficient or C catalingus master with Dan Lex's cat from time to time.
54:52
I'm gonna go with D. It's best Steve that you don't ask eat it.
55:00
No, no, no, no, you're good, you're good.
55:01
No. I don't want Steve. Yeah, Steve doesn't need any extra context
55:05
to that. No, No, that's it's better because we want to make
55:07
sure he leaves the treehouse with a Job's still it Fox. For number three,
55:13
Trey, Trey is a good son, such a good son. He
55:15
took his Trey, how old is your mom? Seventy eight? Trey is
55:21
a good son, so good. In fact, he took his seventy eight
55:23
year old mother to the doctor recently to make sure that she is a healthy,
55:28
B, cancer free or C not pregnant. I'm gonna go with C.
55:34
Not that is correct, but it's technically true. When he's not podcasting,
55:38
Daniel Malley spends his time a relaxing on the beach, be exercising,
55:44
and writing his memoirs or see photoshopping iguanas in the pictures of his double wide
55:50

56:07
by using amatch dot com, b meeting women in bars or see his ex's
56:14
phone numbers, and the hopes that maybe he can lend some pity sex.
56:21
That's a that's a tough one. I thought. I'm gonna go with C.
56:23
That's correct him. I'm glad, see, I know, I know
56:25
that every time the answer see, but we still try to make it,
56:29
you know, difficult. It could be different one of these days. It
56:31
could maybe any of them. Rodney Anderson my lender for life, Rodney Anderson
56:37
from Rodney Anderson dot Com. Rodney Anderson is A the official lender of the
56:43
Treehouse, B A juggernaut in the lending realm. Or see the subject of

56:53
with C. And for everyone that's ever wondered how do I make money and
57:00
podcasting, that's it right there. You just gotta hol yourself out. A
57:02
new study has found that this is the quickest way to go to prison.
57:07
Is it a selling fittil B human trafficking or C being a doctor on this
57:14
show. I'm sorry being a what on this show? A doctor? Doctor?
57:21
C? Absolutely that is correct, Thank you, thank you. It
57:27
appears Trey what's wrong about his ex girlfriend being bad with money? Because A,
57:32
well she's no good, dirty liar. B she put money in her
57:36
kid's college fund, or C she saved up all the money Trey gave her
57:40
over the years and used that money to buy her new Porsche. Let's go
57:45
with the Porsche. C. That is correct, and that is a little
57:51
true, little true. Nothing turns Dan on more. Oh God, nothing
57:57
turns Dan on more than hearing a the sweet voice of his wife, b
58:00
having a great show, or ce cat got your tom. See that is
58:15
good. Yet we'll explain that to you one of these days. Alfie did
58:22
not put much effort into writing this joke because A he's supporting the w g
58:27
A writer strike and doesn't want to be called a scab. B he used
58:30
all his funny on the iguana joke. Or see he learned at the Russ
58:34
Martin School of lazy punch lines. That is true. We all we all
58:46
went to the same school. Trey has been in an unusually good mood lately,
58:53
making everyone wonder if A he got laid, b he found another job,
58:59
or c has anyone seen his mother lately? I'm gonna go with the
59:05
not pregnant mother. See that is that is correct? Very good? Uh?
59:09

1:00:23
blackmailing, and everybody at foxs for congratulations. Steve Noviella, you have absolutely
