and in for raz Sharma today. Not gonna lie. It's an upgrade comedian,
0:41
television host and friend of the Treehouse for many years. Mister Tombey,
0:47
what's happening fellas? Oh did you just roll out of bed? Yes?
0:55
Thank you for being honest. I appreciate yes, yes, yes. I
0:57
have a very few players today because I get hit the road tomorrow. So
1:02
I was going to do nothing. And when you call me to fill in,
1:04
I go, I'm not going to do anything special. Nothing I wouldn't
1:07
do. I'm not getting dressed. All got today is a haircut and pack
1:11
some bags. So you're getting rogue tone today, Dan, we'll take it.
1:15
Yeah. I figured you either just rolled out of bed or you're just
1:17
coming off of Jedi training. Either way, thank you for taking the time.
1:21
Well, I mean, if I can't take I gotta tell you what
1:23
you might believe, not the truth. I also appreciate that, and have
1:27
and have. I've always appreciated the honesty and our relationship throughout the years.
1:33
M hm, oh man, the I just wish. I hate the fact
1:38
you have a different background today and I turned from I turned from that,
1:42
Well, I forget the background. Oh they have the bottles last time?
1:45
What did I have last time? Last time it was in it was in
1:48
your kitchen with the balance in the background that you were very proud. Yeah
1:51
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Uh, she's gonna be moving around and
1:53
all that today in the in the kitchen, so not cooking, but moving
1:57
around, you know what I mean. So I didn't want to just have
2:00
her in the back and but yeah, next time we do this, I'll
2:04
bring the balance back because it's there. I still like the idea of you
2:07
just taking it with you everywhere your go. It's just always your backdrop.
2:12
I mean, I'm a classy brad man. I'm saying some people don't even
2:15
realize how how distinguished a balance really is. Well one just a name.
2:23
I mean, it's like, uh, it's like a buick you can keep
2:25
with you. And full disclosure, I didn't even know what the hell of
2:31
balance was until until the last time we had you on the show. I
2:38
just thought it was just a small curtain over a window. Turns out there's
2:42
a fancy name for it, and I mean it's a relicant. What it
2:45
is I mean, it's it's hard to find them, but we got what
2:47
we got one. Congratulations. I bet there's a whole section on Pinterest of
2:54
just a balance. Oh it's as it should call them, inside awnings.
3:00
See that's see exactly. It's like, I didn't know the actual name of
3:02
it, so you come up with, you know, descriptive words to describe
3:06
what the hell it is you're talking about. Until someone you know who knows
3:09
more about home decre than you do, like you do. No, no,
3:13
no, you idiot. That's called a balance. Okay, now now
3:15
I'm in the know. Now I'm I've seen the light and I appreciate it.
3:21
No worries, and we're getting rid of it soon. So well not
3:24
not before we do it again, before we do this again. Okay,
3:28
good, Yeah, I guess you could always put it in a museum.
3:31
Let's hope somebody wants it, maybe something. I'm sure there's some there's some
3:36
old white lady out somewhere that would love to have it. Yeah, if
3:39
you see one, I will. If I tell them, they're gonna be
3:45
like, there's no way you have a balance. I promise you, lady,
3:47
I have a balance. I'll tell you what I'll mention it to my
3:50
mother and we'll see what We'll see what she says. So if you if
3:53
you want to do away with that, I got my mom and grend Prairie
3:55
will probably take it off your hand. Next Timmer come to Ballace, we
4:00
meet up, so I try not to peel the curtain back too much.
4:03
Obviously when whenever we record a show, because like people to think that,
4:06
hey, you whenever you hit play, it's like we live in your device.
4:11
We live in the phone waiting for you to hit play, and then
4:13
we just pop up and start doing our thing. But obviously we record stuff.
4:17
Now. The reason I bring that up is because I'm trying to figure
4:20
out, Tom, what were you doing last night that you're still wearing your
4:24
sleepy time robe and everything, because since you just rolled out of bed,
4:30
it's not like seven am that we're recording. I'm not a tyrant. No
4:32
no, so I don't. I don't. I mean I'm usually up late.
4:36
I'm usually up like I Actually I got into bed pretty early compared to
4:39
most nights. I mean I probably get into bed about two two thirty and
4:45
then wake up about ten eleven, depending on like my because I mean,
4:48
we don't have kids yet or anything. So it's like I got time in
4:51
and by some she goes a bit. I can get my writing done at
4:54
late, you know, sketch stuff out. I can. I can u
5:00
getting my notebook. I can look at videos from past shows and all that
5:01
kind of stuff without being bothered. Dogs that bother me. He's already been
5:04
out the pee. And then I wake up whenever I do wake up,
5:08
ten eleven o'clock, and then I put my robe on. It's a little
5:11
chilly today, so put my robe on so I have somewhere to go.
5:13
I'm not I'm here also, damn what I'm really doing to save in the
5:15
environment. I'm not just waisting clothes out of nowhere. I put the robe
5:19
on until it's time for me to get dressed. It all ready. Thank
5:25
you, I thanks, thanks for your helping hand of nothingness. Please tell
5:33
me that's not your assistant. No, I mean, well, I mean
5:36
that's what they kind of are. I mean they like, look, man,
5:40
that's what almost marriage is. Right. Well, I think in most
5:45
marriages it's more like you're you're either the boss or the assistant, and there's
5:48
there's always that everybody becomes a boss and everybody becomes the assistant at some point,
5:53
so it and isn't it fun when the tables turned and you get to
5:57
be the boss? Or am I just that's just my thoughts? Well,
6:01
uh, yes, thank you for feeling that with me. How often does
6:08
that happen? Shut up, Trey? For six times a month? That
6:15
happens for you, That happens to you at least once a week. Yeah,
6:19
I was gonna say like four to six times per year. Oh well,
6:24
I mean you've been in long than I have, then that is true.
6:28
You've been able to be a boss longer than me. Yeah. Well
6:30
no, that's kind of the other one, thet the way around there.
6:34
No, well, that's not how I take my six times a month as
6:39
the boss. Okay, gotch Okay, we were on the same page.
6:42
A good. The The interesting thing is, at least it's better. It's
6:47
not like I'm the boss only when the Olympics come around or or or like
6:51
World Cup or something like that. At least it's a little more than that
6:56
that that she lets me, you know, thank it? Yeah? Yeah,
6:59
I I so wait, you get to be a boss every four years?
7:04
Or no? No, no, I said, it's not that bad.
7:06
It's it's it's more like quarterly okay, oh yeah, I mean that's
7:13
still sad, but like the yeah, that's uh yeah, I get to
7:19
punch in. I get the clock in more often than that. But also
7:23
I put in a nice uh double triple shift whenever I get the clock in,
7:29
and uh so that my presence is felt throughout my next my next shift,
7:34
you know, smart yeah residual boss. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well
7:41
does it does it matter at all in your relationship that when when when she's
7:46
being the boss and you're being the assistant, do you ever try to force
7:48
the issue and say no, no, no, no, no, no,
7:49
hey, hey, one of us in this relationship was nominated for n
7:55
double a c P Image Award, and that's not you. Uh yeah,
8:00
but because it's be honest, the assistant knows more than the boss ever knows
8:03
that it really is way more important to be the assistance. That is true.
8:09
It is. Yeah, however we delude ourselves to get through the day
8:13
is really a testament to our resolve. Like you know what, get these
8:20
titles out of here, whatever whatever it is, I'm still in charge,
8:28
I think. I usually I usually hang on the uh no, no,
8:30
no, we're a team. We're a team. Yeah, go ahead.
8:37
I want is terror there because I'd like her to hear this. You know,
8:39
you're saying, you know about the assistant really being smarter than the boss
8:43
and everything else that has no bearing on the conversation, the fact that she
8:50
is upstairs on a conference call with clients, and all of a sudden,
8:54
I'm growing a parent talking about how I make decisions around here that has nothing
8:58
one has nothing to do the other, and I don't appreciate the insinuation.
9:01
Also, lower your voice. The best part is I get a chance to
9:05
say this on stage live all the time. So this is this is common.
9:09
This is common banter in my house. Yeah, this is a I
9:13
mean I talk all this kind of I mean, it's very rude to other
9:18
people when they go, I can't believe you get away with that. I
9:20
go, it's the only way some go down around here. Baby. Yeah,
9:24
Because when you go on stage and talk about that stuff, that's an
9:26
outlet, because otherwise it's not like you're walking around the living room saying that
9:30
stuff because you'll get hurt. No. No, I say, I got
9:33
to try to the living room and then I say it on stage. Oh
9:35
so she's your test audience as well. Absolutely hates it. But then like
9:41
then she's donn play with it. So like if you get something thrown at
9:46
you, is that when you know it's really good? Oh man, there's
9:48
a lot of crying in the closet for her for you. Yeah, well,
9:52
it depends on which closet you're talking about. She'll go cry in the
9:56
closet, and then I will go just sleeping together room, which sometimes is
10:01
my plan all along because I just want to get a good, nice sleep.
10:03
You just want to stretch out. Sometimes I just go, oh man,
10:07
I just get mad. M Air quotes at nothing just so she's like,
10:13
what happened? And then I'm like, you know what, just I
10:15
need. I need to get a good, nice sleep. I will sleep.
10:16
I will see you in the morning. And I wasn't mad at anything
10:20
at all. Good old fashioned, good old fashion of relationship manipulation. Yeah,
10:24
what do you call it? A gaslight? And I don't know what
10:26
these terms mean these days, but everything's got to Everything has a label and
10:31
a term these days. It all just falls under the umbrella bullshit. Yeah.
10:35
Yeah. I was doing another show recently and some some host was asking
10:41
me about trauma and anxiety and gaslight and I was like, I'm sorry,
10:45
I haven't graduated to those words yet. I just go worried. Bad experience,
10:52
you know, I don't have. I don't I'm not mature enough to
10:56
move on from uh yo, man, some shit, just it wasn't good
11:00
today. Yeah, And I and I think because we're all about we're all
11:03
about the same age, and we we grew up in that time as as
11:07
gen X. We grew up in the time that you fall down, you
11:11
scrape your knee, you you you blow on it with some bactine or something,
11:16
if you had that luxury, and you go about the rest of your
11:18
day, and that's all it was. Is it broken? And also the
11:24
uh the the words we use to describe our feelings or our day were mostly
11:31
monosyllabic, like you're saying tone, It's like, how was your day good?
11:33
How was your day sad? Bad, good, fun, whatever.
11:37
Now it's more like, well with a gas lighting experience, You're right,
11:41
I mean it's all these turns. Yeah, it's also exhausting learning all the
11:46
new words. Somebody ghastly me today, somebody pissed you off? Mm hmm,
11:52
you mean someone lied to you, to you, it's okay, that's
11:56
gonna happen. You guess what, they're gonna stop happening. You're gonna be
11:58
gasling. You're about to burn up about this gas you know what. The
12:03
one thing I really do think you're talking about, like falling down, scraping
12:07
your knee, whatever. When we were kids, it wasn't even the pain
12:11
so much of the scratch or the cut or whatever that would really get you
12:16
or and like get you to start crying. It was the thought, like
12:20
my dad, if I gotta cut, he had this stuff. It was
12:22
called methiolate. It was basically iodine. It's this orangeish red stuff and it
12:28
stings like alcohol times ten. Like if you put alcohol in a wound,
12:33
take that times ten. That's mythiolate. And that was his cure. All
12:37
Jesus, you gotta cut, Slap some mathiolate on it, like I know.
12:43
Some way we had insurance and then so many times I should have gone
12:46
to the hospital. Oh yeah, we just did not go to the doctor
12:50
at all. I mean I got a broken finger still because of it.
12:54
Like it's it's wild, but it's at the same time, you go,
12:56
all right, man, it is. It is what it is. And
13:00
then you see these soft ass kids out here who got I mean maybe we
13:05
didn't get enough hugs, but these this generation got too many. And there
13:07
you go. I mean, then he splut the difference on these hugs.
13:11
Yeah, yeah, I think train and I've talked about this before. It's
13:13
basically generational overcorrection. Is like we grew up as somewhat like like latch key
13:22
kids, Like we were trusted from an early age, arguably too early,
13:26
but we were trusted at an early age to get ourselves to and from school,
13:31
to and from the property. Yeah. Yeah, because like the next
13:35
two hours you were in charge of the domain of the homestead. Did they
13:41
really trust us or was it just they didn't give a shit in bad parenting?
13:46
No, they it was cheaper, Like there's no other option. That's
13:48
two hours. That's too hour. Period was hell for a parent to go.
13:54
Man, from three thirty to five thirty. I need to figure out
13:56
what to do with this motherfucker right here. Wait, what school has free
14:01
after school care? My parents used to just tell me to get the attention.
14:05
Look that's free. We can't pick you up. Yeah, detention is
14:09
free childcare. I caire, we gotta pay board attentions, free talk during
14:13
English class, Okay, you get your homework done in there. It was
14:16
the I mean after my parents, I mean everybody was getting attention just I
14:20
mean the school finally caught on and be like, you can't just get an
14:22
attention. You're like, no, that's not the rule. Yes we can.
14:26
It's like the most most jacked up version of the Breakfast Club. There's
14:31
like seventy five children in detention. Everybody got it. That's a good hack,
14:39
though, man, because that's what all the parents got together and said,
14:41
hey, you know what you can do. Just tell your kid get
14:43
detention, parents, get attention today or something. My parents can just get
14:48
attention today. Yeah, I'll see what I can do. Yeah. See,
14:54
I truly feel like that. That's how I know you and I grew
14:56
up in slightly different circumstances tone because you were forced to get detention, whereas
15:03
my school actually had the free after school care that my parents would do before
15:07
picking me up on their way home from work. Because if I ever got
15:09
detention, oh my god, I'd be dead. My mother would have killed
15:13
me. I would this point out at a private school that like no whoever
15:18
was doing like that free after care or was doing aftercare nicol and Diamond.
15:22
You're giving them twenty bucks for the day or whatever like that. That teacher
15:26
that stayed after was making money like cash, and so our parents were like
15:33
if they don't have basketball practice or because it was like it was like they
15:37
used to even do that thing where in between, like school would be over
15:39
three fifteen, three thirty, and then basketball practice wouldn't start till five,
15:46
so you got to go somewhere for an hour and a half and they make
15:50
you go, well, you can't just wander around the school, so you
15:52
got to go here, so so cost you twenty bucks. And then if
15:56
you don't have a car yet, you can't just leave and then come back.
15:58
So it's like the tension that's free. But now I gotta lead attention
16:04
because I got basketball practice. So you only spend like forty five minutes of
16:07
detention, Like it was great, great, Yeah, I don't. I
16:15
don't think Trey and I his households we were approving of the detention. I
16:18
mean, hell, you're talking like Trey got a cut in his knee and
16:21
his dad's putting you know, the the han on it yeah, like that's
16:26
one that the cut what is it tray? What was it called the silt?
16:30
Isn't that the stuff that they used on cattle? Like, I'm pretty
16:33
sure my grandfather used that on heifer's. Probably it's I mean, a lot
16:37
of stuff got used on heifer's in the last you know, sixty eighty years.
16:41
We don't treat them like that anymore though. They also they also get
16:45
hugs. Yeah, and that's how we get Kobe beef. You want to
16:52
talking about, you know this stuff. My parents didn't care if they if
16:55
there was going to be a gap between school getting out and they get they're
16:59
getting home, ride your bike, Yeah, muscles too far from that,
17:04
but yeah, I mean there was a lot of kids that got that chance
17:07
and that and that's that right. There is an interesting switch, like the
17:11
overcorrection from one generation to the next. Kids today are not allowed to wander
17:17
or roam anywhere. When we were, you know, of a certain age,
17:21
we weren't allowed to wander the school. Instead, the principal would tell
17:25
you go wander around the neighborhood and that was okay. Yeah, And the
17:30
other place you weren't gonna wander around was your own house. Because your mom
17:33
would kick your ass out. So I mean, like comparison, today,
17:37
if you see a child wandering the neighborhood, CPS gets called. Well,
17:41
I mean like even if I saw if I saw a I mean, I'd
17:44
be more worried about. Man, what's I hope there's not a new trend
17:49
that'll know about. So somebody's gonna try to break my ship for TikTok,
17:53
Like I hope somebody doesn't try to spray my mailbox or take my mail challenge
18:00
or you know some sort of dig up dig up is succulent challenge. Yeah,
18:10
our challenges were just surviving. It's everyday survival, hot slides, rusty
18:17
nails on a playground, being being beaten by your teachers and your parents all
18:22
in the same day. But also the other thing, not getting caught.
18:29
That was our goal. Well that's gone. They record it like I have,
18:37
Like I work with a lot of twenty somethings in the bar business and
18:41
everything else, and I'm always and I have had to talk to so many
18:44
of them about the principle of fly below the radar. When you're in trouble,
18:51
what you want to do is just come in, keep your head down,
18:55
do your job, go home, don't cause any problem, fly below
18:57
the radar, don't get seen. They don't understand that everybody's like they have
19:03
a like some pedestal to stand going to go. This is like pride and
19:11
justification of my actions. So you go. You better get fired. And
19:17
the only people don't care is he's you better get fired, and people that
19:21
you don't know are gonna uh, that's bullshit. On TikTok. You still
19:25
have to find another job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because all those
19:29
unless unless somehow whatever happened to you so egregious that someone you know fires up
19:33
a GoFundMe for you or something, and you can make a bunch of money
19:37
off of it. At the end of the day, you're right, you're
19:40
gonna have to go out and get a new job. It doesn't matter how
19:41
many followers you pick up on TikTok or how many likes you get on your
19:45
post saying that you've been so wronged. I mean that, Look, man,
19:48
that trend's gonna last for four days. You'll be finding then by next
19:53
month, rent still dom Yeah, t XU still wants their money, even
19:57
though they're not necessarily any good at it. They I don't want their cash.
20:00
Oh but I'm not mad they don't have ring because they still living with
20:03
their parents. Because they parents allow this. This is and this is this
20:11
is another overcorrection from generation to generation. So like everything we're talking about is
20:15
part like part of the reason I don't have kids is I don't think I'd
20:19
be able to handle it. Like we were out yesterday, just getting some
20:22
dinner to go. We're sitting at the bar waiting on her to go food
20:26
and this kid, I don't know, three years old, just starts shrieking,
20:33
just shrieking for attention, throwing a little tantrum, and he's just doing
20:36
it for the attention, because it's not like he's hurt himself or anything.
20:40
He's screaming in mom's face. And the guy at the bar had a beautiful
20:45
idea on how to deal with this tantruming child, and that was a stand
20:49
up at the bar, point at the child behind him and say get this
20:52
kid to Jamison. And that kid stopped and just went huh away from Yeah,
21:00
yeah, all the attention away. And Mom was so either embarrassed or
21:06
afraid that the bar might actually give her a kid a shot of Irish whiskey,
21:08
grabbed the kid, took him out in the parking lot to calm him
21:11
down. Oh my god, that's great, but that's all you know,
21:15
like you know that that comes from like not so so we have a I
21:19
mean, they'll never see this, but the our neighbor down the street has
21:25
a single mom daughter who's three. In their neighborhood, they have a her
21:30
best friend's a little three year old and her mom and dad. So they're
21:34
all friends. Like they played they together, two little girls with two little
21:37
three year olds, and one is Asian, the other one is white Asian
21:44
baby, so well behaved. It's like it's what you expect from Asian baby.
21:48
Okay, this little blond hair, white girl. Let me tell you
21:52
something. Now this has nothing to do with right, but this is also
21:55
just like so we can separate the two just so you know, the two
21:57
different kids. Man, you could tell the parents are like, if she
22:03
wasn't mine, we'd give her up. Like they go, she a lot,
22:10
she is a lot. I mean but like there you go, oh,
22:11
I probably wouldn't want to take her to restaurants. No, that's like
22:15
that's like that's one of those kids where you get I mean we all grew
22:18
up seeing like the kids who just flipped, I mean flip the hell out
22:19
anywhere. But then oh man, that that is scary where you go.
22:23
If they can't keep this in check at home, I definitely can't keep it
22:26
in check out. Yeah, And that's what Oh yeah, absolutely, And
22:32
that was one of the things I worried about because babysitter's I mean, that's
22:34
oh yeah, I hard to keep anything. I mean, I immediately put
22:37
myself in that in that mom's shoes with a shrieking child, and I in
22:42
the moment just putting myself in her shoes. Ever so briefly, I was
22:48
worried for the safety of that child because I think I'd still be beating him
22:51
in the parking lot. Yeah, it's like but also it's like, I
22:53
mean, hopefully we're getting back to that point where other parents go like,
22:57
I got you, I'll block you, like let me, let me help,
23:00
let me, I'll let you know if anybody coming beat that kid's ass.
23:04
Basically, everyone's set up. Everyone set up a parent wall, like
23:08
like the bikers would do it at Westboro for a funeral with Westboro would be
23:14
there, they just create a wall absolutely like to beat your kid. Wall
23:21
went in the solidary to be like but we all agree with you, bro,
23:25
and occasionally took your foot out to kick him if he's trying to sneak
23:29
between the legs. Look like the Soul trained dance line, you know.
23:34
Yeah, the uh And then and then Trey's dad, you know, pops
23:38
up out of nowhere with some matthiah late to rub on the kid afterwards to
23:42
treat all the wounds. Hey, you shouldn't have runch because you were trying
23:45
to run. You should have just taken it. But Tony, you've you've
23:49
met my mom. Yeah, I think you said that exact same thing to
23:55
me as a child. One of the things you don't see anymore, talking
23:57
about all like especially restaurants in public, you don't see parents just whipped,
24:03
you know, grab their kids and just whip them out to the parking lot
24:06
like my dad would grab me by the neck and drag my ass out if
24:10
I did anything. No, you're right, that is a huge thing missing
24:14
from today's children. The public beatings are all gone, Yeah, because there's
24:18
no such thing as embarrassment, like it's I don't want to look like this.
24:22
And then also to me, like you said earlier. Tray. Everybody
24:25
got a everybody got a phone, so everybody's snitching on you. My mom
24:29
used to grab it you either by the ear by, like that little piece
24:30
of meat right here. If I was just acting up in a store and
24:33
just above the y elbow right here, it just I mean, just gripple
24:37
you and be like and that was just a warning till we get to the
24:40
car. That was I think, I think we've got the solution. Now.
24:44
We just need parents to band together, link arms and the just formed
24:48
the beating wall. If we all agree it's not abuse, Like that's the
24:51
thing. We all have to agree that this is not abuse. It's character
24:56
building. It's like it's like those like those already eight to fifty six year
25:02
olds that kind of really because the sixty plus they beat, they whooped ass.
25:07
Yeah, with that small segment and you know, like that kind of
25:11
eight year gap that goes like should we and all of us kind of around.
25:15
I go like, I mean, I think, I mean, there's
25:18
a couple that got out of hand, but for the most of them,
25:19
I needed them. A couple a couple were a little you know extreme.
25:25
Yeah, you know, we got we were going I don't know. We
25:29
got the red, but we were orange. Yeah, no, some were
25:32
red, some were red, and those of us that had had the occasional
25:37
red scare of have overcorrected. And that's where maybe too. But you're right.
25:42
I think if we can live somewhere in the orange for the most across
25:47
the line to see where it is, you go, okay, yeah,
25:48
yeah, they shouldn't pass out afterwards, like there we go. Just make
25:52
sure they still you know, are you talking about the beat or or beat?
25:57
I think both because my dad worked well big tones. Try it needs
26:04
to be both. You shouldn't be tired. Neither one of us should be
26:10
exhausted. Really afterwards, yeah yeah, if there's an official calling for halftime,
26:26

29:42
to mention it in that first segment, but I need to because it's so
29:45
important that today is Freddy see I feel better? Do you feel better now?
29:52
Because I know I do feel better. Yeah, because if I didn't
29:53
say it, some people are just gonna feel off. It felt like there
30:00
was something missing, and I'm sure that was it also Raj, but mainly
30:06
just you know, singing out Friday in a stupid fashion. That's that's certainly
30:11
needed every single Friday, especially after some of the dark and gloomy and terrible
30:15
news of the week that we had you know, with the shipping container ramming
30:22
the bridge in Baltimore. And because of that, I now know way more
30:26
about the shipping industry on the East Coast than I ever thought I would or
30:30
needed to. Yeah, shipping industry. And that video, damn just it
30:38
really looks like a It made that bridge look like just a bunch of shiny
30:48
toothpicks just coming down. Yeah. Yeah, it was like a lego set
30:52
or something that you just crashed through. And yeah, that was just just
31:00
tragic. And I think it'll be fascinating to see, you know, when
31:04
they figure it out. You know, did the ship lose power? Yeah?
31:08
What what happened? Because and that wouldn't even you know, when I
31:12
first heard about it, I thought, Okay, you know, a ship
31:15
clipped the bridge, they had it stack too high, something like that.
31:19
Not no, huhm, dead on into one of the pillars, just taking
31:23
the damn thing out. Yeah, And and this is how much that nine
31:29
to eleven still affects us, at least it does. It does to me,
31:33
and I think it does to you as well. Tray. That is
31:36
when this type of thing happens, one of the first thoughts we have and
31:40
is one of the first questions that reporters ask of authorities when they do a
31:45
press conference is do you suspect terrorism? It's a question now that wasn't asked
31:49
Green nine to eleven typically, but it is now. It's part of the
31:53
every you know, every major occurrence like this. Used to be it was
31:59
clearly an accident, or we assume it is. But now that my first
32:02
thought is was a terrorist? You know, it's funny. I didn't normally,
32:08
Yes, that is one of my first thoughts is was it terrorism?
32:12
This one? I I didn't really think about it, Uh, just because
32:17
it wouldn't have I guess I didn't think terrorism because it didn't have the big
32:22
splash that I think a terrorist attack wants. Now, that is a really
32:25
poor pun. You're right, that really was a bad pun. Wow.
32:30
Uh yeah, Somewhere somewhere Fox Fores Steve Noviella, who loves a good pun
32:37
and uses them on TV a lot, is rolling his eyes going ooh,
32:40
oh that's not a good That's that's poor timing, mister tru Yeah, that's
32:44
a that was not a good one. Anyways. But I just don't think
32:50
terrorism because yes, the economic impact of this is huge and and will be
32:57
and will be for months to come. I mean I think they said that
33:00
port eight hundred basically eight hundred and fifty thousand new cars come through there.
33:04
M and you know, millions and millions of dollars of losses will be daily.
33:13
Yeah. And somewhere you know that there is a Karen bitching at a
33:16
car dealership wondering where her new Buick is, not realizing that it's there.
33:22
Yeah, but yeah, that'll be au. It will be interesting to see
33:30
what the what the outcome is. It'd also be very interesting to see if
33:34
it was the ship's fault of how we go about I mean, that's going
33:39
to bankrupt an insurance company because you have to go after them and try to
33:45
get recoup some of I'm assuming a bridge costs one hundred million dollars something like
33:52
that. I mean it's a lot of money. Yeah, I have no
33:57
idea. I don't know what that bridge had originally cost when it was built
34:00
and what it would cost to replace it today. And going back to the
34:05
terrorism thing, really briefly, the reason why I thought that was when I
34:07
first saw the video is because the ship goes right at that that support pillar.
34:13
Yeah, and knowing that that is a shipping lane. It's those ships
34:20
are supposed to go back and forth with no problem, so if one happens
34:23
to hit the bridge right at the support pillar, it seems suspicious. Once
34:28
I started reading more about it, though, it has all the indications of
34:30
some type of power failure on board, because they said lights were flickering before
34:37
it veered off course. But that left me wondering, is there not a
34:42
manual setting on these fucking things? Well, and maybe that's what saved me
34:45
from it is the first time I saw the video, which it was probably
34:52
it was like, you know, I would say, eight hours after it
34:53
had happened. And so when I finally saw the video, it was with
35:00
someone talking about how they showed the ship losing like all the lights went off
35:04
right before it happened, and they, you know, they were talking about
35:07
it's probably an indication that ship lost power, and that's you know it.
35:12
So I don't know it really is. That is a just a it's a
35:15
horrible thing. It is a terrible thing. They I did see that they've
35:20
recovered the black box, so we're going to find out everything that happened.
35:23
But in the meantime, it is ah another example of our world has changed,
35:34
you know, and then that when something bad like this happens. One
35:36
of the first thoughts I have is was was that al Qaeda? And in
35:42
this case, if it wasn't al Qaeda, somewhere is hiding in a cave,
35:45
going it was a good idea, I guess we'd have thought of it.
35:51
It's still it. I don't know about you. It actually still amazes
35:54
me that we have gone twenty three years without having another terrorist attack. I'm
36:00
with you, I'm stunned by that because I the thing I've always thought that
36:07
someone would do, and just because it would cripple our country, like you
36:12
know, if they decided to do you know, a suicide bomber at a
36:14
mall. Yeah, you would cripple the economy because all of a sudden,
36:19
you know, people are afraid to go to it go out. Now.
36:22
Would it be as bad as it would have been fifteen years ago? No,
36:24
because you can buy everything online now. But well, and the weird
36:28
thing is not to completely go off on this, but I think you know,
36:30
we're feeling it, So let's go with it. Anyone from another country
36:36
or whatever terrorist organization that wants to do America harm it doesn't really have to
36:44
do anything because we're doing it to ourselves. Yeah, movie theaters, malls,
36:50
car dealerships, everywhere you go. I mean, we're shooting each other
36:53
all the time. Terrorists don't have room, they don't have room to do
37:00
is any harm because we're doing it all to ourselves. We can't we can't
37:02
even agree on who we think should be our leaders, let alone uh,
37:07
you know, coming together in a in a post terrorist you know, action
37:14
and then and it's so sad. We can't even like we we are,
37:19
so we can't even let two successful kids have a relationship without questioning whether you
37:24
know it's an NFL conspiracy and this and that. I mean, it's yeah,
37:30
we're we're we're fucked. I'm gonna stick that in our new trailer.
37:36
That's I mean, but there is something go ahead and try. No,
37:44
it's we have so many problems and it really is what he's I don't know
37:46
why. It just hit me, But then you step back and look at
37:49
the absurdity of what we focus on. It is absolutely we deserve it.
37:52
We deserve everything we get. And that's also part of the reason why I
37:58
don't even even though it's your response of me as a quote unquote news director.
38:02
Don't. I don't pay attention to a whole lot of hardcore news anymore
38:06
because it's so troubling. Instead, I get fed on Instagram things like how
38:10
to clean a stain out of a cutting board or Chihuahua videos Thanks to You
38:15
and my dog Bella, which, by the way, if you want a
38:19
good Jiuahua account to follow, little Chee Chee's Little Chee Chee. I gotta
38:23
sell you this. There's this one dog account I've got to I'll send you.
38:28
It's this dog and they dress him up and just all sorts of outfits
38:32
and I couldn't even tell you what kind of dog it is, but it's
38:35
just got the big orange poofy. It almost looks like a doggy afro,
38:38
and he's got sunglasses and god, it's great. And he always leaning up
38:43
against the wall like yeah, it's like a seventies porn vid. They're so
38:46
good. I feel better, Thank you, Trey. You're welcome. I
38:52
haven't even seen it yet, and I feel better. This is awesome.
38:57
And there is something else that will also make us feel better, and that's
38:59
birthday, but not yet. Oh you're in the Treehouse. Visit us online
39:13
at treehouseonair dot com. Let's get Jacqueline into the treehouse now from Brooks Plumbing
39:27
for any and all of your plumbing wants and needs. Give her a call
39:30
to one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight the website Brooks Plumbingtexas dot
39:35
com. Jacqueline, I've used your services a few times, and I've noticed
39:38
that your pricing is extremely competitive, and I wonder does that scare some people
39:45
about how affordable your services can be. I've had a handful of people use
39:51
the adjective scary. I think smart homeowners want to get quotes for bigger jobs.
39:57
And I'm gonna, of course divert back to slab leaks, a leak
40:00
below the foundation. It's the most expensive thing you can run into as a
40:04
homeowner. And those homeowners that get multiple bids are always saying you were thousands,
40:13
multiple thousands of dollars less expensive than everybody else. And I've had a
40:16
handful of them say and that's scary to me because we can't understand why two
40:21
out of three are within a couple hundred dollars ballpark of each other, but
40:25
you are not. And there's a simple and easy way to explain this,
40:30
and it's the simple fact that my guys don't work off of commission. Those
40:34
commission guys benefit by selling you more, and so they're gonna the prices are
40:38
higher because that's how those companies pay their technicians. The other downfall for those
40:44
guys is that those big companies can't tend to maintain in house excavation crews,
40:49
and we do. We have multiple, so we're not subcontracting that work to
40:52
anyone else, so we're not having to mark it up to remain profitable.
40:57
You're only working with one contractor. When you're working with us, I'm capable
41:00
of beating anybody that you're gonna see advertising for. And it's because we've kind
41:06
of figured out the secret. We don't have a lot of overhead. We
41:08
don't have a huge office. We have just enough office space. We don't
41:13
advertise on billboards. We stick to the treehouse and swing around like monkeys inside
41:17
of it. So you just have to market and keep your expenses low so
41:21
you're not passing your cost off to anyone else. Doing business the smart way,
41:25
the right way, taking care of the customers first and being smart about
41:30
everything else in between. That's why we use Brooks Plumbing inside the treehouse,
41:34
including when we're swinging around from the pipes and we bust one. We call
41:37

42:12
All right, Trey, what did you send me? Oh? I send
42:15
you a send you a reel of the dog in the seventies outfits. Oh
42:22
my god, irning to see here. It's one of my new favorite accounts,
42:32
dogs of Instagram wearing throwback like disco and this is this is a specific
42:37
dog at It's funny because his name the account is Agador. It's oh my
42:44
god, this this this looks like a fluffy e walk wearing Aviator sunglasses.
42:52
But it's just all of the videos are this just him and different out these
42:58
outfits and it's priceless. So this one sees it's this, what kind of
43:04
dog is this? It's a fluffy ewok looking dog. I don't know.
43:07
All right, well, it's a fluffy e walk looking dog. I'm pretty
43:10
sure that's the official AKC registration. So if you want to, you know,
43:15
get in on the dog show circuit. He's wearing what looks to be
43:19
like a hipster man bag or purse, a herringbone button up shirt jacket,
43:28
thing with a sweater pant and the Aviator's sunglasses. But I mean, the
43:36
whole the whole account is nothing but this dog in different outfits. I mean,
43:44
oh, with a Justin Bieber song. I don't know it by the
43:47
sound. I know it just because it's labeled up there. Yeah sure,
43:52
shut up. Oh my god, six four thousand followers for Poocha of NYC
44:01
Ye, oh god, yes see. We're we're we're we're doing social media
44:06
wrong, Trey, We're we're over here trying to do long form podcast content
44:09
when dogs wearing clothes have over half a million followers. Although this one,
44:15
my god swam so this is the same dog wearing aviator eyeglasses. Not sunglasses
44:29
but just eyeglasses or they're see through. And he's got a bunch of roses
44:31
in his mouth. As the bedroom door opens, and it's Lionel Richie playing
44:38
and I think he's in a robe. He's in a row with golden mate
44:44
pants. Clearly an outfit that tone Bell should be copying any day now.
44:49
I'll send this to him, and he's he's doing some seducing here. I
44:55
have to watch the rest of this. Here we go. And he's also
45:07
got a huge gold chain around his neck. But they also so many times
45:13
they pose him where he's like leaning against the doorway, but he's got one
45:19
paw up high above his head like he's leaning you know that way. It's
45:27
it's a masterpiece of an account, it is. And the sad thing is
45:32
is I've tried doing that same seduction technique and it just it just falls,
45:37
It just falls fat. I can't pull it off. Did you have the
45:40
gold chain? Yeah, it turns out it's the it's the fluffy hairiness that
45:46
is. That is what I'm lacking. That's what's catching you. Yeah,
45:52
that's that's the thing that gets catch it. Yeah, tripped me right up,
45:55
all right. As I mentioned earlier. Today is fred Y Mark twenty
46:00
ninth, twenty twenty four birthdays today. This will be a short one We've
46:06
got celebrating her fifty sixth birthday today. Zena also known by her real name
46:14

46:22
Warrior princess, She was also one of the pylon models on Battlestar Galactica.
46:27
She was Lucretia on the Stars television show Spartacus. Did you ever see that
46:31
series Tray Spartacus on Stars? Wow? Man, there are not many television
46:39
shows, and this show is not even recent. I mean this is that's
46:43
probably fifteen years ago at this point. You talk about television shows that really
46:46
need I don't care if it's on cable or like pay cable subscription whatever,
46:52
needing a parental advisory, that's one of them. I mean everyone's naked and
46:54
everyone's screwing, and it's it's basically a soft core when they do it,
47:00
and it's violent as well, So I mean it's all the good stuff you
47:04
want, which is you know, hardcore, you know, sex and violence,
47:07
like like The Boys. Like The Boys is a show that I don't
47:13
care how many warnings they put it at the beginning, you still sometimes like
47:16
some of the scenes you weren't prepared for. Yeah, that's on a different
47:21
level, because The Boys is meant to shock in awe and and be outrageous,
47:25
whereas Spartacus was more of like within the within the realm of the story.
47:30
You know, it's like because it's you know, it's old Roman days,
47:32
so it's you know, it's it's orgies and things. It's it's gladiators
47:37
having sex with women and because there they were, you know, to be
47:42
had as you know, prizes by the aristocracy type of stuff. And so
47:46
yeah, so lots of nudity, lots of sex, and that was accurate
47:50
to the time. The Boys is just on a completely different level. I
47:52
mean, I mean, when you got a tiny little man crawling inside his
47:55
boyfriend Urethra and then sneezing, therefore destroying the top half of his boyfriend,
48:02
it's really hard to forget that. Yeah, and I have it clearly.
48:13
You know. The worst thing about that scene in the Boy's Tray is the
48:15
first time I saw it, I didn't realize he went in the front.
48:17
I thought he went in the back. Yeah, I don't know that.
48:25
I think that's that much worse. But yeah, okay, that's still bad.
48:29
I mean, that's like like that. Either way. When I saw
48:31
the episode the first time and thought he went in the backside, I was
48:36
like, Oh my god, this is shocking. This is the most shocking
48:38
thing my eyes have ever seen in person or on television. And then I
48:45
was informed that no, no, no, he went in the front side,
48:50
and then I relived it all again, and so then I had to
48:52
go back and rewatch that scene. And that's when I realized, oh,
48:55
I can see it now. Yeah, that's that's clearly that that's clearly the
48:59
the that's clearly the p hole. I mean, but then it made that
49:02
scene even worse. Yeah, about that show should really shock, being that
49:08
the opening scene of the entire series is a guy holding hands with a girl
49:13
and the next thing you know, he's just holding her hand. It is.
49:19
They set the tone really well at the beginning of the Boys, and
49:22
then you realize, as other things happen, other things transpire, him holding
49:31
her hands is actually pretty tame by comparison. Yeah, but other birthdays today,
49:38
So Lucy law is happy birthday fifty six today, also celebrating a birthday
49:43
today. Former Australian supermodels. She's still Australian, I'm sure, El McPherson.
49:47
She is sixty today. Christopher Lambert turned sixty seven. One of the
49:55
great Hollywood stretches that has ever been And this is one of those things I
50:00
wish I would have thought about to ask tone if remember I'll remember this from
50:06
when we have him on again, and help me remember Trey is. Christopher
50:10
Lambert, a French actor, got the starring role in Highlander as a Scotsman
50:19
with I don't even think he even bothered to try a Scottish accent. Meanwhile,
50:23
the same film had Sean Connery, an actual Scotsman, playing a Spaniard,
50:29
and he also didn't make any sort of an attempt to go with a
50:31
Spanish accent. He just basically was Scottish with a Spanish goateee, but also
50:38
had a Samurai sword. It's one of the all time great movies, but
50:42
it's also one of the all time great hunt when you think about Hollywood casting,
50:47
I have never ever ever put Highlander and given him that much thought.
50:55
But what you're telling me it's like kind of like Scarface and no way,
51:00
this is way worse. I mean really, I'll give it to you again.
51:07
Yeah. The lead in the film is a Scottish Highlander played by a
51:13
French actor whose mentor is supposed to be Spanish played by a Scottish actor.
51:19
Okay, yeah, all right, you're right that it's worse. I mean,
51:22
now I gotta go back and watch that movie. Yeah you do.
51:24
I mean you really talk about the height of Hollywood stupidity. That's a good
51:28
one. And uh, Trey, as you are a Star Trek the Next
51:34
Generation fan, I would be remiss if I did not mention a hearty happy
51:37
birthday to Marina Sertis. She is a very sexy sixty nine today. She
51:43
of course plays Deanna Troy and Star Trek the Next Generation. I didn't realize
51:49
she was that. I mean, so they just finished Picard last year.
51:54
She didn't look I would never have guessed her to be that old. I
51:59
didn't watch the card series, but some promotional things I saw that I saw
52:04
of her, I was like, my god, she is. She's one
52:07
of those types that has held up very well and she must be very happy.
52:10
Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be surprised because Brent Spiner is like seventy
52:16
m I mean that show was and it's Heyday thirty. God, damn it
52:22
thirty five years ago. Fuck that sucks. Done it? Really? It's
52:25
it's I don't know if it's it's the the fact that fifty is just staring
52:31
me, you know, straight in the face, just a crooked finger,
52:37
just hooking me, going come on, you can't avoid it. Come on.
52:43
It's like my dad with belt, come on. So so it's not
52:47
quite the Grim Reaper. It's just the over the Hill man. Is is
52:52
fish hooking you? Yeah, he's got a belt in matthiolate. I wonder
53:00
if that's why all the old men in the locker room have those rust stains
53:04
between their legs. It's just methiolate just slowly just got all over. Oh
53:15
that's a god, it's funny. I actually looked for it at CBS it's
53:21
probably been a year ago, just to see if they still made it,
53:22
and I couldn't find it. You know, it's very troubling to think about.
53:28
And I didn't realize it until I just started to type it into Google
53:30
to get a little more information on methiolate that your dad used on you as
53:36
an antibacterial whenever you'd scrape your knee. You know what, you know what
53:42
the root word is in methiolate, meth Yeah, absolutely, I mean that
53:51
should tell you everything you need to know about growing up as an X.
53:54
Okay, no, no, oh no, So I just googled mythiolate.
54:00
This is even worse, worse than you thought. Yeah, it's a pharmaceutical
54:06
compound that is forty nine point five percent mercury. That explains a lot of
54:13
my fucked upness. I'd say, so that's the wrong button. It works.
54:30
It's a half mercury, I am not. That's what your dad rubbed
54:37
on you for for open wounds, Yes, and open wounds. And it
54:44
was sold over the counter, Yeah it was. Oh but now it's mercury
54:52
free. Pussy's. Oh this is you need to get the good stuff.
55:00
This is kind of like what the bottle used to look like, just this
55:07
orange. Oh yeah, yep, I remember that, except the stuff that
55:14
I think. I think my grandfather actually had that in his bathroom. Except
55:17
it was such an old bottle that I assumed never went bad, probably because
55:22
I would it. It was such an old bottle. The label was rubbed
55:27
off, so it was just like patches of labels. You couldn't tell what
55:30
it was. You knew what it was, but you didn't know what it
55:32
was called. Right, And now we know it's because the mercury was eating
55:36
through the label. But let's rub it on open wounds. Don't ingest it.
55:46
But you know, open wounds just fine. All of a sudden,
55:52
I'm starting to understand the anti vaccinine group. You could survive the thila.
56:02
What's a little covid? Yeah, means a little spell bringing back polio.
56:13
All right. Thanks to Tone Bell for hanging out with us in the treehouse,
56:15
and of course thanks to you for hanging out with us in the treehouse
56:19
as well. We appreciate it. We'll check you out next time in the treehouse.
