Episode 45: Dogs. Fist-pumping. Nurses. · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:26
It is time to leave your worries outside and join us here in the tree
0:29
House. I'm Daniel Mallley, along with Trey Trenholme and newest tree House member
0:36
Raj Sharma. Hello. Raj. While you may be new to the official
0:42
cast of the show, you're in no way new to the program. That
0:46
is true. You and I started doing radio together back in the mid two
0:53
thousands, a little after Tray and I met each other. We're doing doing
0:57
the show as well on the radio. So while I the reason I say
1:02
this because technically you're a new official member, yes, but you've been hanging
1:08
around the Treehouse for a long yeah. And it was very nice. I
1:12
was just a Dallas comedy club this weekend and a bunch of listeners were just
1:17
happened to be there. Uh, And it was very It was very very
1:19
cool that they came up in the like congratulations on being the a permanent on
1:26
the on the show now, And I was like, oh, that's kind
1:27
of cool. Like they came out and made it a point to say hello
1:30
and uh and and all of those things. So that was a that was
1:34
a nice feeling. Well, I'm glad you got to feel nice, are
1:40
we going to be like a radio station in ten years from now, Rogers
1:42
still going to be the new member. I think we should, yeah,
1:48
I think we should absolutely embrace that kind of like how if I forgot what
1:53
the year was that they finally killed the Edge, but the station that replaced
1:57
it is still referred to as the News Are one O two one. Well,
2:00
I think it was I even though they've switched back, I mean,
2:04
I think I'm Until the day they switched back to the Mix one O two
2:07
nine, it was still the new now one of two nine, and that
2:13
was a sounds redundant and confusing all at the same time. I don't mind.
2:20
I don't mind being the permanent new guy. I don't mind that at
2:23
all. It's the tree House with Daniel Malley, Trey Trendholme, and an
2:30
all new Rash Charma. But all that hits, that's right, including Abba.
2:44
So uh. Speaking of aliens and conspiracy theories, which have been on
2:47
top of mind for us in here recently, Trey Ras shared with me something
2:54
the other day that I never really thought about, and that is he's never
3:00
seen your dog Daisy. Really, No, I mean you you. I
3:06
firmly believe you've made this dog up. Here's why I say that. You
3:13
you you talk about her, uh, and that's very sweet, But I've
3:16
never you keep saying this three pound chihuahua. I have never seen the dog,
3:23
and so I think, uh, you you were making it up.
3:28
That is my conspiracy. I could be. I don't know any There's no
3:32
pictures, no list like I've I have when I, like I said,
3:36
when I had listeners come up and like, oh my god, I think
3:38
this is cool. This was me at the last thing on the last live
3:43
event. And there's always the pictures of you guys. The last one had
3:47
me in it. But there's no Nobody has a picture of Daisy. I've
3:51
never seen. She's not like Jerry's bucket of nails. I don't just carry
3:55
her around in my car with me. Yep. But it's a but it's
3:59
a like never makes a sound, you never hear it, you never see
4:01
her, you never there's I just uh, I think you make I think
4:06
you're making the dog up. See. Here's here's my theory. I am
4:11
also stinged by this trade because by Raj questioning the existence of your tiny Chihuahua
4:18
Daisy. At the same time, he's also questioning my credibility because I state,
4:25
and I state it often, that I have seen Daisy, I have
4:28
held Daisy, I have played with Daisy, that chihuahua. I love Daisy
4:32
like everyone loves Daisy. And now Raj is questioning both of us. No,
4:36
no, I'm not seeing I think it's not questioning any credibility. I
4:40
think, oh, you just think I'm crazy and I see Chihuahua's No.
4:43
I no, I think I think you just think it's a bit. We've
4:46
been doing it for thirteen years. No, I just think that. Well,
4:48
I actually hang on, in Raj's defense, there was a made up
4:53
helicopter for like twenty five years. So I mean your track record, uh
4:59
is as our track record says, do not trust us, all right,
5:02
but this one it's real, we swear. I just think because you are
5:08
such a good friend every time he talks about his dog, you go along
5:12
with it like, yes, she is real, tright, like that's that
5:15
like that's the that's the vibe I get from you, that there's no credibility.
5:19
I think you want Oh, okay, okay, right now, right
5:25
now, Trey, you're holding up what appears to be just the top part
5:29
of Daisy's head, which means the little round head. And then here's oh,
5:32
there's some eyeballs, the slower bill. Wait for it. Here's the
5:38
thing you haven't seen about Daisy yet. Wait for it. Wow, that
5:42
is that is a here's the thing ros that's not even Daisy going full Gene
5:47
Simmons with her tongue. Wow. I have an uncle that looks like that.
5:57
Wow, that is a very small dog. Okay, I you know,
6:00
I'm I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. I think that's something you
6:04
should Look at that guy. Yeah, look at that girl. Hey,
6:06
how are you You're a We see she is a real real That is a
6:12
real jaua. That is a real three pounds jaua. I got yeah,
6:16
okay, I stand corrected the dog. So thank you, thank you for
6:26
that. I just thought you were a very I know you're a good friend.
6:30
I thought you were going above and beyond by when when Trey would talk
6:32
about this dog and you kind of had that look on your face like,
6:35
yes, right, she is real, sort of like sort of like I
6:40
had a sort of like Tray's psychotherapist slash asylum manager. As part of his
6:46
agreed release, needed to be in someone's supervision, and somehow that was me,
6:51
which man I had to speak to the doctor and the doctor's like,
6:55
look, we don't want it to be too jarring for Trey. So when
6:59
he says he has a three pound chuawa, just go with it because we
7:03
don't want him to go absolutely insane. Yes, it's very shutter island,
7:09
right, it's very yes, Yes, it's very shutter Island. Like I
7:12
think, like when I when I picture tray walking dog, I just see
7:15
it from the people across the street, just seeing a man with no just
7:18
holding a leash like there's nothing. I had one of those as a kid.
7:21
They sold them at Disney World. It was just like the very strong
7:27
leash, like the rope and then it had like the little collar at the
7:30
end. It just kind of floated in air. I had one of those.
7:32
I saw. I saw that when I was a kid too. It
7:34
was a six flags I saw. Maybe that's what it was, six flags.
7:38
That's right, rights, Your middle image of me is that, you
7:42
know, I'm just a muttering, delusional old man just putzing around the streets,
7:46
you know, holding an empty leash. Yeah, talking to myself.
7:50
I mean, that's a very Okay, yes, that's a fair assessment.
7:57
You said it, not him. This is this is this is the shutter
8:01
Island effect again where we're supposed to go along with that. Yes, Tray,
8:03
I mean we do see that. I didn't say muttering. You did,
8:11
but but you definitely are putzing around. But now I have to take
8:18
that image out. Now there's an actual dog. I don't I don't believe
8:22
you. I don't know if she walks a lot. She's a very small
8:24
dog. But I will, I will, I will take it. I
8:28
will take it back. You're not one of those crazy people that talks about
8:35
their their animal like it's it's real, or like a person like it's real.
8:39
You're you. You're officially a dog owner. Uh. And I apologize
8:45
for any preconceived notion I had of trade Trino, but you're gonna stick with
8:50
a part of him putzing around bumbling to himself. I like muttering. Muttering
8:54
is good muttering. This sounds like you know he's going to mutter one day,
8:58
like he's well that right there. I'm with you on Rogers because everything
9:03
that you described, actually, I'm sorry, everything that Trey described isn't so
9:07
much what I think Trey looks like now, but it definitely sounds like what
9:13
Trey will look like in about twenty twenty five years. Yes, like you're
9:16
gonna have that guy like you're the guy that yells at people to get off
9:18
their lawn. Like I can see that. No, no, no,
9:22
Trey's gonna be wait wait, do you mean Trey's gonna be the guy walking
9:24
by that tells people to get off their own lawn or to get off of
9:28
his lawn. Either one would be hilarious, but to tell people to get
9:33
off their own lawn, this seems like something he would do. Get off
9:39
your lawn, you're killing the grass. Yeah. And the thing is,
9:50
what's the reason why Tray is gonna be saying get off get off the grass,
9:52
or get off your lawn. So it's so my imaginary three pounds chihuahua
9:56
can take a poop on it. I just says he and my like Raj
10:03
sees me is like, you know, uh, you know a character from
10:09
the Carol Carol Burnett show. You know Tim what? Yeah? Tim Conway
10:13
was the butler and he would just you know, puts around and he had
10:16
little steps muttering to himself. I mean, I will actually give you more
10:22
credit than that. You're You're like the bell hop from Faulty Towers, Like
10:28
like he says stuff. He says stuff. Nobody really knows what he's saying,
10:31
but he believes it to be important. Like that's like he's just gonna
10:35
under his breath, is like, you're gonna do this, So somehow,
10:37
somehow, you take it the fact you've never seen my dog to you know,
10:41
some semblance of senility for me, I watch Shutter Island. You're you're
10:48
Lena. I'm giving you Leonardo DiCaprio status because I've never seen your girlfriend.
10:54
That is true. That is that we're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us

11:35
how you do a cash out refinance to help people get out of credit card
11:39
debt. But I'm wondering if you can give a couple of other reasons that
11:41
a cash out refinance might help someone Yeah, we're doing a lot of cash
11:46
our refinances for people buying land, buying second homes, buying investment properties,
11:52
paying off the irs, paying out, paying off an ex spouse when it
11:56
comes to divorce. Those are just several reasons why Dan and one thing people
12:00
need to be aware of. Land loans right now are running incredibly high.
12:05
Credit cards are running incredibly high. Construction loans are running incredibly high. So
12:09
there's a lot of people out there looking to borrow money and they're looking to
12:13
tappen to their equity. We're experts at cash out refinances and best of all
12:16
our goals to get it closed closed in fifteen days or less. And Rodney's
12:20
been doing this for over forty years and he's the person that I trust when
12:24
it comes to all things mortgage, and that's the person you can trust as

DFW and the website cook dfw dot com. The parts of that last segment
13:24
are a a good time to throw out the reminder that the show was now
13:30
available on YouTube, So if you two like to see the slow reveal of
13:35
Daisy on Trey's camera, you can enjoy that much like RAJ got to,
13:43
Oh, there's the twelve pound cat looking at Trey like, put me down,
13:48
you j a hole. That's that's all cats think. Lester Shows would
13:56
have made a tray holding a pussy joke for the first time in months,
14:00
but we're not that show. I'm convinced my cat like although a lot of
14:07
times he's dumb as a boxer, rocks. Then at night, though,
14:09
I wake up the next morning and I see how he's he moves all his
14:13
toys around and everything else, and I'm like, you know, it's like
14:18
he's playing risk and he figured out how to hold china. It's like,
14:24
what are you doing at night? Like dogs playing checkers? He's you know,
14:28
conquering the world. Yeah, that's that's uh. I like how the
14:35
uh the daytime is for for him. I guess to rest up. Oh
14:39
yeah, and then and then at night he's like, now, yeah,
14:43
well, well well while the world is sleeping, I will make my moves
14:46
exactly. It makes sense. See the rest of us, the rest of
14:48
us watched Pinky in the Brain as children thinking oh, what a funny,
14:52
cute show, or or actually with our age group, we watched Pinky in
14:56
the Brain like, this is a fun show to watch. I don't care
14:58
if you're a kid or a old Tray's cat watches it for ideas on how
15:05
to take over the world. Oh yeah, I'm allergic to cats, but
15:13
it seems your cat seems lovely. It's just like when you picked it up
15:16
and then you put it down and you started scratching your chest and that made
15:20
me start a chick. Oh I just I was just brushing some the hair
15:24
off. That's just Tray's not used to having pussy all over him. Remember
15:31
earlier when I said, a lesser show sometimes you gotta take them. Where
15:37
are they give it given? I think that's a solid slug line. The
15:43
Treehouse a lesser show, better than your lesser show. I would, I
15:52
would, I'd listen to it, I'd watch it. Yeah, I'd put
15:56
that on a sticker. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway it is. It
16:00
is a good time to remind you that we are on YouTube if you'd like
16:03
to actually watch the show. The three new words that we've sort of associated
16:07
with the show now are listen, watch, follow. There's a bunch of
16:11
other words that fall into all of those, including like and subscribe and stalk
16:15
and all these other types of things. The main thing is we just hope
16:18
you enjoy the Show's that's the main thing. And if you don't, f
16:22
off to do pretty simple. It's a very simple calculus. So speaking of
16:29
a calculus, I'm not going to make a student math because dear God,
16:33
if I don't have to do it, I don't want to do it.
16:34
Not that I'm bad at it, it just like anything, if you don't
16:37
have a passion for it, then why why bother. So as far as
16:41
a formula goes. Trey told me something the other day and I'm curious to
16:47
hear more about it, and that is that your energy drink usage is related
16:53
to your age. And I'm wondering how that is. Trey, Oh yeah,
16:57
all right. So I work at this place, standard Port, and
17:03
and I was talking to one of the servers, and you know, nights
17:06
that I close, I've typically going from six pm too somewhere between three four
17:11
am. So old man needs an energy drink to get them through the night.
17:15
And I bought a couple Celsius. And I was talking to one of
17:18
the servers and and she's twenty two and energy drink. The energy drink,
17:25
yes, So I'm a big fan of those. And she's like, oh
17:29
my gosh, I wish I had one. I said, well, I
17:30
got an extra one. You can have it. And this is like nine
17:33
thirty. I'm like, yeah, I'm about to have my noun so h
17:37
And she's like, oh, oh, I appreciate it, but now I
17:40
can't drink it. Now. I'll wait till like twelve one o'clock. That
17:42
way i'll have the energy to get through the night. And I'm like there
17:45
is the difference. Like I am trying to backtime my energy drinking to where
17:51
the anything it gives me. It gies down right about three three thirty in
17:55
the morning, so by the time I get home, I am ready to
17:57
go to bed. In your twenties, your thing of that energy drink is
18:02
the key to it gets you through the night. You can see the sunrise.
18:04
Now that that actually makes sense, especially with her midnight timing, because
18:10
she sees it as like you said, Trey, she needs an energy drink
18:12
to get her over the hump, to make sure she feels just as awake
18:17
at twelve oh one am as she did at eleven fifty nine PM. Yeah,
18:21
yeah, I don't. I don't do the I don't do the energy
18:23
drinks. I don't do coffee or tea or the the energy drinks. So
18:32
but it's like then, no, I mean, what was a My ex
18:37
wife had the best sense. She goes so you just kind of what wake
18:40
up? I'm like, yep, that's kind of yep. I just kind
18:41
of get up. Uh. And I usually beat my alarm. Uh.
18:45
So like today was eight thirty eight thirty, I was up. I usually
18:51
beat my alarm too. It's usually with a baseball back. Yeah, I
18:56
just I've never had never been a needed a cup like needed a cup of
19:03
coffee in the morning. I'm not that guy. I have never had to
19:04
do that. I've never I've never purchased. I can say this with so
19:11
much confidence. I have never purchased coffee from Starbucks. Never, not one
19:15
time. Just like I've never had Chipotlin. I've never had Starbucks. I've
19:19
had I've had bottled water from the Starbucks because it feeds, uh like build
19:25
small villages, like it brings clean water to villages in Africa, according to
19:29
the ad on the bottle. But I've never had I don't. I've never
19:33
had the coffee or the tea or like even when we did back in the
19:37
day when we did Saturday nights and was nine to midnight. I think it
19:40
is what it was. I never had a coffee out of the break room.
19:42
I never had I've never had a I've never had a I've never I've
19:45
had Red Bull one time, and I will never do that again. What
19:51
did it do? Yeah, I slept for about fifteen hours, like I
19:55
crashed, like I had I had I was doing a show. This will
19:57
let you know how did it at least get you, Like, did it
20:00
initially give you wings and then you crashed? Or did you it just immediately
20:04
knocked you out. I was here's how old, Here's how long ago?
20:08
Was are you ready? I was doing a show at the Bronco Bowl.
20:11
Wow, who are you? There's only one? Uh no, it was
20:30
it was a local show and uh it was sponsored by red Bull, So
20:34
that's all. And I when I say sponsored by red Bull, that's all
20:38
they had. So in the Greenland there was these giant silver and blue drums
20:44
that had just i mean filled at the top with Red Bull. And I
20:48
was like, I hear it's a here, it's all the rage, so
20:51
I will give it a shot. And I had one and I was like,
20:53
I don't really like the flavor of it, but okay, this is
20:56
supposed to nothing happened, and it's like it's it's for me. It was
21:00
like the weed gummy right, like the edible, Like you're trying to go,
21:04
nothing's happening right now, so let me just eat more. So I
21:07
had the one and I was like, nothing's happening. So I had one
21:11
immediately after that and I finished. Yeah, I finished my set, and
21:15
I got home and I was on the couch and I woke up the next
21:18
day fifteen hours later on the couch in the same spot. I was like,
21:23
this energy stuff is not good for me. Well, Roger doesn't sound
21:26
to me like you got red Bull And it sounds to me like, is
21:29
you got GHB that was packaged in a Red Bull can? Uh? Yeah,
21:36
I have. I have been slipped. Uh. I got slipped GHB
21:38
while I was in a bar in Houston. That did happen. And I
21:41
should have I should have kind of known when because I thought that we just
21:45
got an extra beer. Uh, like like like the bartenders do that,
21:49
they just give you an extra beer. And the guy who when I go,
21:52
hey, I extra beer, and I cheered a buddy of mine and
21:56
he's like, did you order that? I was like, I thought you
21:57
ordered and I'd already started drinking. The guy whose beer was that was sitting
22:02
next to me was so bombed. Uh, he couldn't speak, but with
22:06
his eyes, I was like, this is not gonna be fun for you.
22:11
Even even through his fog, even through his haze, he knew that
22:15
that you were going to go down in flames. And I did, like,
22:18
here was the weirdest thing about it is in my like coherent like I
22:22
could see I'm about to walk into this wall. I'm about to walk into
22:26
this wall. I can't stop it, but I can like literally talking to
22:30
myself, going, I'm about I'm about to walk into this wall. Face
22:32
first, I'm gonna walk into this wall. You gotta stop. And I
22:34
couldn't do anything about it, So I just gotta stood there. And I
22:37
was like, Oh, that's what that dude was feeling the whole time.
22:41
But no, I've never had to do like that's the only time did that
22:42
happen. But I never did like, I've never had the like the monster.
22:45
I think that was a rage for a while, and then like still
22:48
is still his energy drinks are are a huge or a huge billion dollar industry.
22:52
Are they still doing the vodka energy drink stuff? Some people still do.
22:57
Some people still do vodka. Red Bull is up the thing. I
23:00
still I still on inccasion hear people order that it's not as common as it
23:06
used to be. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it's it's I
23:10
don't know, if it was more of a fad drink for a while.
23:11
Trey, you're the one that works in the service industry right now? Are
23:14
people still ordering that a lot? Oh yeah, people fill order of vodka
23:17
Red Bull all the time. Yeah, you know, that actually makes sense
23:19
because I don't hang around with people that want the vodka red Bull anymore.
23:26
Like I had a certain age group, you might have wanted it. But
23:29
then in like Treys saying, at a certain point, you're you're back timing
23:33
when you want to go to bed, and so if I'm doing vodka Red
23:36
Bull and it's like, well, that's that's kind of a that's a gray
23:40
area there. Either I'm gonna pass out in five minutes or I'm gonna be
23:41
awake for five days. Yeah, that's the weird Like I've never I know,
23:45
they outlawed, not outlawed, but like a lot of clubs in the
23:49
UK don't serve vodka Red Bull because it does exactly what you're saying, like
23:55
it'll hype you up, but then the liquors of the pressant. Yeah,
23:57
it's kind of like taking a Viking in while doing you know, like a
24:00
bump a blow. Yeah, So and your body's like, what what happens
24:06
at that point? What does your body do? Did it? Did it
24:08
just stay flat then because you've taken both at the same time. And I
24:11
don't know. I don't. I've never I've never had I've never done the
24:15
it scientific. What it does is is that basically the part of the brain
24:18
that would keep like put you to sleep, stays awake, so you keep
24:22
drinking, and so you just get a more intense drunk. Uh. I
24:27
mean that's buying any of the in any of those things. Yeah. Now
24:33
the consumer side of it is I just stay awake longer so I can just
24:37
keep partying, right And Dan, you don't see it because I've been out
24:42
with you and you and your wife on the islands. You're in bed by
24:45
ten o'clock. I don't need your judgment. I've not. It's not really
24:51
a judgment. And sometimes it's envy. But I'm just saying, you know,
24:55
people you know, no, no, no, couples are going to
24:59
Loubi's for dinner thirty and then popping a vodka Red Bull so they can stay
25:02
up till ten o'clock. Well, you don't know. Perhaps there's a there's
25:06
a there's a perhaps there's a dark corner of the island that not only has
25:11
a Loubi's but serves vodka Red Bulls. So if that way you're really feeling
25:15
like having a fist pumping good time, you can go next door to the
25:18
Golden Corral and and and chew on the chocolate fountain until ten. Yeah.
25:23
Well, I mean, I guess they can stay awake so they can catch
25:26
the Blue Buds. It comes on at nine o'clock and then they'll be passed
25:30
out at ten. Uh. Yeah, I think it is. I'm I'm
25:34
a big fan. I don't know if you guys know this about me.
25:37
I am a fan of the Loubi's. I'm a big fan. I tried
25:42
to go get their dinner one night. It was about three months ago.
25:45
Do you know they close at eight? I don't know if you knew that.
25:48
I thought they were all just closed. I'm more stunned by the fact
25:52
that you found it open Louby's at all. Oh. Yes, they're midway
25:56
and six thirty five. Yep, oh that one, okay, Yeah,
26:00
yeah, I think that's one of the few that's still holding strong. And
26:03
I'm surprised they're even open until eight. I mean, they're They're dinner rush
26:07
is literally four to six. Yeah. Yeah, So I went and I'm
26:11
you know, I'm not I'm not at that of that age group. I
26:15
was like, you know, it's about eight thirty I could use I could
26:17
use uh some turkey breast and dressing. And I went and there were no
26:22
cars in the parking lot. I was like, Oh, this is gonna
26:25
be easy. And then I got to the doormans eight thirty nine, ten
26:30
maybe uh, and They're like, nope, we've been closed for an hour.
26:34
I was like, wow, you know, because of so few Luby's
26:37
locations left and the possibilities they're in with open places, Trey, I think
26:45
I think your bar could take advantage here of a gaping hole in the service
26:48
industry, and that is at the standard poor in Dallas. In Uptown on
26:55
McKinney Avenue, free idea. Here you do a vodka Red Bull happy hour
27:00
m paired with a lovely luan platter. So not only do you get everything
27:10
that comes with both of those items, one beverage and one drink, but
27:14
you also get to cross the demographic threshold of twenty one to about sixty four.
27:22
So you will have one of the most diverse age groups anywhere in Dallas,
27:29
all coming for the Vodka Red Bull Luen platter pair the hottest spot from
27:34
like seven to nine, because that's when they're getting turned up. So take
27:41
me home and watch the news at ten. J's asleep by eleven. You
27:52
gotta you gotta put a little sock on on the old fist pumper. Go
27:56
to bed J compression side. You're in the treehouse, visit us online at

from cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. The phone number that you can use to
28:30
get that free roof inspection is eight three three cook DFW. The website cook
28:34
dfw dot com. So, Daniel, I know you're outside a lot as
28:37
a roofer. That means you're on roofs a lot in this heat. Ever
28:42
had anybody call you because they're roof melted? Dan, Not exactly, but
28:45
pretty close. We've been on some roofs that you would not leave how much
28:51
the shingles have cracked and separated and started to literally disintegrate on some of these
28:56
homes. And it's scary because a lot of people had no idea that actually
29:00
heat can ruin your roof. Just like you know, everybody's always panicking about
29:04
hail and wind, but the sun and the heat that we get here in
29:08
North Texas is damaging very much to our roofs. And so even if you
29:14
do not think you have damage, you need to get your roof inspected annually.
29:18
And that was one of the biggest reasons. Why is the heat that
29:21
we have here, nothing can sustain it long term. So you gotta protect
29:26
your home and do yourself a favor. Call us out. We love to
29:29
check it. If you have these type of damages, we can at least
29:32
alert you to them before they get worse. And that's why it's such a
29:34
great thing that cook DFW Roofing and Restoration offers that free roof inspection. Like
29:40
Daniel said, they'll come out take a look and not cost you anything to
29:42
do so, so give them a call eight three three cook DFW. That's

29:59
now their phone number two one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight.
30:02
The Websitebrooks Plumbing Texas dot com. The other day we were discussing Oliver,
30:06
who's your journeyman plumbers? And I think most people don't understand what that means.
30:10
They hear journeyman that they think you're just kind of running around company.
30:12
The company is almost like a freelance. But that's not the case, right,
30:15
No. I mean, if you want to go into the trade,
30:18
any trade, especially if it's is a license trade, the first thing you
30:21
should do is find the governing department. We're governed by the Texas State Board
30:26
of Plumbing Examiners, which is a department of the Texas government, and you
30:30
have to have a certain amount of hours in the field hands on experience to
30:33
qualify, to go to state to take the test to essentially level up.
30:37
It's kind of like catching a mushroom or a star and I'm playing Mario.
30:41
To become a licensed plumber, I've said this before, you actually have to
30:45
have more time in the field to test than you do to become a commercial
30:49
airline pilot. And a lot of plumbers just kind of get stuck. They'll
30:53
fill out the apprentice card and they'll never apply to go test anywhere. They'll
30:57
they'll never move up. Journeyman plumber is the sweet spot because a lot of
31:02
people are nervous about working with the master plumber because they're nervous that they're going
31:06
to overpay. But every plumbing company in the state of Texas has to have
31:08
a responsible master plumber to be operational. So if you don't see what I
31:14
call an M number on the truck, it's going to be M and then
31:18
some series of numbers either four or five. That means that they're they're not
31:22
licensed. And so you should be weary of somebody's truck who pulls up to
31:25
your house that doesn't have an M number on it. Jacqueline will teach me
31:29
and you anything and everything about plumbing given the opportunity. And this is why
31:32
I love having her in the Treehouse, because I like knowing things, and
31:36
I like to make sure that I'm not being taken advantage of or I'm not
31:38
having the wrong person or the wrong company into my home. And that's why
31:41
we recommend them here in the Treehouse. Give him a call two one,

32:20
thank you to Jacklin and also the Oliver, the plumber that came to my
32:25
house the other day with the other plumber to crawl underneath my house lay some
32:32
pipe so that way we no longer have any more roaches in the house.
32:42
So thank you to Brooks Plumber. You are way too hard at that.
32:50
I'm just saying that it's a very very thorough company. It is. They
32:57
went to the deepest, darkest places and laid laid the good pipe. They
33:02
did look out the old nasty pipe and put it a good one. You
33:10
know, as a plumber, they it's got to get old, all the
33:13
jokes that they must hear, or all the nonsense and like rights sort of
33:17
like sort of like you as a stand up comedian. Anytime you get a
33:22
heckler, you've been doing it so long, I'm sure every heckler thinks they're
33:24
the first one to think of this particular heckle, like, I bet he
33:29
hadn't you know he because they think no one's ever come before them. But
33:31
they're wrong. Same thing probably that the plumber has to go through. It's
33:35
like, really another pipe joke. Great they make they make. I didn't
33:40
really as a kid, you don't think, like when you get older,
33:44
you're like, oh, I had no idea that how much money they actually
33:46
make, like they yes, they do very very very well. I did
33:52
not know that. I just thought like a buddy of mine, one of
33:54
my frams college actually like quit school to go into to apprentice with plumbing and
34:00
pipe fitting. That's what he That's what he did because of how much money
34:06
was on the table. And this is back in ninety sixty seven, but
34:09
how much money was on the table for him. And he's like, I
34:13
can't justify any more student loans, so I'm gonna go do this, and
34:15
then he started. It was unbelievable. I you when you're a kid,
34:21
I'm like, oh, I guess you just figure out you can fix pipes.
34:23
I don't think. I don't know how. I don't know how that
34:27
works. Again, how you get you know, you know, snaked down
34:30
a certain path. But I don't want to get on too much of a
34:37
high horse here. But I know I've told you guys over the years in
34:38
the past, I'm not anti college at all, but I'm anti the college
34:45
racket that has been forced on the last couple of generations, saying you have
34:52
to go to college, you have to get a degree, otherwise you can't
34:55
get, let alone a good job. Now nowadays it's been extended to you
35:00
really can't get any job without a college degree, or at least not a
35:05
job that you'd want, when the reality is there are plenty of great other
35:10
options, like going into the trades, and going into the trades for some
35:15
reason, started to be looked down upon when in the reality of it is,
35:21
you can make a very very lovely life for yourself being a tradesman,
35:27
whether it's as a plumber or a contractor. I mean think of all like
35:32
HGTV as an entire channel, yeah, built on trades. Yeah. Yeah.
35:40
And so that the college thing always has been, It's like, and
35:43
I think I think this most I think this most current generation. I'm not
35:46
sure if it's why or double Z or whatever. It is, like the
35:51
college age eighteen to twenty four year olds right now are starting to realize life
35:55
is shorter than everyone has told us. So we're not going to screw around
36:00
and waste a bunch of time doing things we don't want to do. And
36:04
for some of them that means going to work, but for some of them
36:07
it also means that they don't want to take on a bunch of debt and
36:09
they'd rather go do something else. Yeah, well that's that's that. It
36:15
absolutely has been a racket that you know. I mean when we were growing
36:19
up, we were the age like you had to go to college, and
36:22
it's ridiculous because we all went to school with people, know people whatever.
36:25
It's like, man, that guy didn't need to go to college. What
36:29
he needed is you know, he doesn't need calculus or trigonometry. But starting
36:34
in high school, had he taught him how to be an electrician, a
36:36
plumber, a mechanic, something like that, he goes on and he's got
36:39
a vocation that in this day and age, you can easily earn six figures
36:45
being a plumber, a mechanic, whatever, and and carve out a very
36:49
nice life for yourself. Yeah, I just you know, it's again,
36:52
it's one of those things like you don't like nobody gives you that as an
36:55
option, nobody presents itself, and going, you know what I think you
36:59
you might be you might be really good at like he said, an electrician
37:02
or a carpenter or a mechanic, like you might be that inclined in that
37:07
way. Like, but that's and that's, and that's and and then part
37:10
of the problem with school when we all went it was those things were looked
37:15
down upon, though, because the smart kids were in the AP classes doing
37:19
those things, and the dumb kids keep using finger quotes a lot. Sorry,
37:22
but it's it's for effect here or not just for effect, it's for
37:27
a reason. And then and then the dumb kids were the ones that were
37:30
in wood shop or whatever, and when in reality, those things are are
37:37
skills that everyone would be nice if everyone had some more knowledge in. But
37:42
yeah, so the hypocrisy in it is you would look down on, say
37:47
the kids that went into wood shop or something and hold up on a pedestal
37:51
the kids that you know took the AP classes and go to college. But
37:58
I lost my train of thought, damn it. You know, if you
38:01
really read something had come back on that MRI if you want a great a
38:08
great example when we had a high storm in February of twenty twenty one,
38:15
like all the all the people with college degrees were going, oh crap and
38:20
calling the guys that you know, you made to look down. I'm going
38:22
and they're going, you'd be a thousand an hour and I'll get tea in
38:25
about a week and yeah, And all of a sudden, people realize that
38:30
there's something called a water meter or a water main that needs to be turned
38:35
off, and they what that is. Yeah, you know, and you
38:37
and you kind of hit the nail on the head on like everybody the wood
38:43
shop and and all that stuff was wherever, Like you just automatically have that
38:46
picture in your head. It's just a bunch of potheads or a bunch of
38:49
drugs, you know whatever. Kids that were weren't. We're gonna graduate at
38:53
the top of the class. Yeah, but they get to come home with
38:57
a really badass bird house. Yeah. And you're like, that's what the
39:02
stigma was. And I remember now where where it was. I got lost
39:06
in my thought, which was the stigma from some people from the elitists or
39:10
whatever about the wood shop or Hollmack or whatever versus AP classes. When who
39:17
shows up on career day it's the doctor, it's the lawyer, it's it's
39:22
the high falutin job. I don't ever remember on career day someone's dad or
39:28
uncle coming in that was say a contractor or a plumber, because it was
39:32
kind of looked down. Not even the kids would be like, I don't
39:35
want my dad to come. You use the plumber. Yeah, and that's
39:38
sad. Yeah, And it wasn't like again, it wasn't until one of
39:43
my Mike Evans, Uh Mike said he's like, you know what, I'm
39:45
just gonna quit school. And I was like, oh, you can't.
39:47
And I was that guy. I'm like, well you can't do that.
39:51
You gotta you gotta finish school. Yeah, like, well I'm gonna be
39:52
I'm gonna go ahead an apprentice and do this plumbing and pipe fit. And
39:55
I was like, okay, seriously, how much money can you? And
39:59
then he told to me. I've ran into him a couple of years later
40:01
and he's like this what I make now? And I'm like You've got to
40:04
be eff and kidding me like and he's like, don't think about it,
40:07
dude. I'm like you don't. It's until you need somebody. It's until
40:12
you have a nice storm. It's until you have something where you're like,
40:14
oh, now, it's they can charge me whatever they want to because the
40:20
balls in their court. Now I'm like, oh that makes so much sense.
40:23
Now, I'm I'm not I'm not very mechanically inclined form like I can.
40:28
I can maybe maybe, you know, I can reset the time on
40:31
the microwave. Uh. And my mom would every time. Uh yep,
40:37
I know, ye, thank you, but my mother, my my my
40:40
mother got Russia soul would go, you know, you should be engineer because
40:45
I changed the time on the microwave. I think there's a lot more to
40:47
it, uh than said you should be in an engineer engineer. Yeah,
40:52
you should be an engineer. And I was like, really, because I
40:55
changed the clock time on the microwave. I think there's like if I walked
40:59
into school, if I was an engineering college and it was just a room
41:02
full of microwaves, I'm like, ah, scam got it. Yeah.
41:07
Yeah. It sounds to me like their career Day Pathway test that your mom
41:13
took was far different than the ones we took. They need to bring like
41:19
for career day, like they need to bring Like my mom was a nurse,
41:21
so they're like they need to bring them in just because just the stories.
41:25
I mean like people should get into like get into nursing. I'm gonna
41:30
be a I'm gonna be a caregiver and a provider and I'm gonna heal the
41:34
sit the stories that my mom would tell you. I'm like, this is
41:37
why you got into it. This is why you got into nursing. Had
41:40
nothing to do with caring for people. It was literally like she would always
41:44
come back to you know who I had something in that bum. I was
41:46
like, oh no, I was like, where do you work? That
41:55
is? That is actually an interesting twist on that, because yeah, I
41:59
think the idea or the secret that everyone that goes into like the medical field
42:05
or especially nursing, you know, the great secret or the scam is I
42:09
got into nursing because I really feel I want to help people, want to
42:13
heal people. I want to have them feel as much comfort as they can
42:17
in their most difficult of times. Yeah, that's what they tell everybody.
42:21
Accept all their friends and family when they come home and do what your mom
42:23
did, It's like, guess who had something stuck in their butt today,
42:28
I don't know why people do drugs and put things in their bump. I'm
42:30
like, I don't, don't. I'm nine, I don't really. Honestly
42:36
though, it sounds like it worked really well on you, though, rage
42:38
because your mom would come home every day and say, I don't know why
42:42
people do drugs and stick things in their bum And you took those lessons to
42:46
heart so much that to this day you won't even touch a cup of coffee.
42:54
I don't. Yeah, I don't. I don't want to. I
42:55
don't want to go to Starbucks. And the next thing you know, I
42:58
got a light bulb in my butt. That's a VENTI I believe that is
43:13
what they call rock bottom. If you're still willing to listen, watch,
