Latest / The Treehouse Show Podcast / EPISODE 33: Drinking, Driving, and Communism
Transcript
- 0:26All right, welcome into the Treehouse once again. This is I don't know
- 0:33about you, guys, but this is definitely my happy place. Joined in
- 0:37the Treehouse today as always, dear friend and old radio producer and co host
- 0:45all the good stuff from the radio days now in the digital space, Trey
- 0:48Trenholme, and certainly not to be left out, the longest running member of
- 0:53the show, partly because he's not dead or in jail, but mainly because
- 1:00he's the rock and roll attorney that is Everett Newton. Hey, Everett,
- 1:03Hey, Yeah, I'm avoiding the curse. I'm glad you mentioned the cars.
- 1:08I'm glad you mentioned the curse because coming up on our second segment,
- 1:11I know it's not like us to typically tease things, but we're just throwing
- 1:15all sorts of caution to the wind these days. In our second segment,
- 1:19I believe Trey has also broken a portion of the Treehouse curse, so we'll
- 1:23get into that a little bit later. But I am proud of you,
- 1:26Everett, for avoiding that curse, because obviously many have not. It's proven
- 1:34very difficult to sidestep. I feel pretty good so far, but I also
- 1:38don't want to jinx it by feeling too comfortable about it. I do live
- 1:42in a place, by the way that cement trucks coming around the corner down
- 1:47the middle of the road is a very, very common thing. I really
- 1:53don't know why it is so one. I don't know why it is that
- 1:57in the Virgin Islands we drive on the left. Don't know why, but
- 2:01we do. They're various, you know, stories or legends as you know,
- 2:08gossip as the reasons why. And I can't find any practical reason as
- 2:13to why we drive on the left here. The steering wheels and everything are
- 2:15also on the left, so it's normal state side cars. But for whatever
- 2:20reason, we're supposed to drive on the left. Not that it matters,
- 2:22because a lot of the locals here just drive down the middle of the damn
- 2:24road anyway, and they just get over at the last second whenever they just
- 2:28absolutely have to, because most of the roads here are just you know,
- 2:30two lane roads with a yellow stripe if you're lucky, If you're lucky,
- 2:34there's a yellow stripe. I was about to say when I went down there
- 2:37to see about fifty percent of the roads have no such yellow stripe. It's
- 2:42it seems a little more of a free for all. Yeah, if it
- 2:46wasn't for the views, don't the roads look a lot like Leonard, Texas?
- 2:47Tray make some of those roads make Leonard look like they've got a big
- 2:54infrastructure plan, like a top ten municipality. Yeah, lead, Yeah,
- 3:00at least there's some gravel on on the roads. And so I see,
- 3:05Trey, you've been enlisted to help perpetuate the myth. Yes, I've tray.
- 3:14Actually, Trey actually straddles the myths. Sometimes he likes to say,
- 3:17yeah, I've been to Saint Thomas, I've seen Dan's house. He lives
- 3:20there. And other times he likes to throw out nonsensical things like having visited
- 3:24me in Saint Tulsa jerk. Well, at least at least he has a
- 3:31conscience. That's what that tells me, is that he can't he can't support
- 3:36you all the time. His conscience gets the better of him. That are
- 3:39just funnier to you know, make it sound like Dan's in Oklahoma. It
- 3:45is really you're a liar. I think it really is easier for some people
- 3:50to digest. And it's like, oh, he's not living in Paradise,
- 3:53He's just in Oklahoma. Sure, Okay, whatever makes you feel better,
- 3:57well ahead. And it's you can't really it until you've been there and seeing
- 4:03it. You don't really fully appreciate that. Really it is paradise. Although
- 4:09I did see that you know, y'all are going through a heat wave because
- 4:13you know, occasionally when the weather's miserable here, I like to look at
- 4:15the you know, weather in Saint Thomas and usually you know, it's if
- 4:19it's a bad day, you're you're at seventy nine degrees or something like that
- 4:24at night. Yeah. Yeah, at the other the other day, because
- 4:28I mean we were my throng, it was like, temperature is only eighty
- 4:33six, but it felt like a hundred because the humidity has been so bad
- 4:36here. And then I looked over there and it said, you know,
- 4:39you were kind of in the same boat. Yeah, yeah, it's it's
- 4:42it's been kind of a heat wave here. It's so the high temperature might
- 4:45say eighty eight or ninety, but the heat indecks will be one hundred or
- 4:47one hundred and two. Um. So in that regard, it kind of
- 4:51feels like Texas. The good thing is. The good thing is, though,
- 4:55is we still get the trade winds, so that makes it a lot
- 5:00better. So it's not it's it's it's better than Texas as far as the
- 5:08weather goes. But in some days it feels exactly like it because it also
- 5:11is like one hundred and five. At least it feels like it. Yeah,
- 5:15But the other thing it's got to be better for you is you're not
- 5:17sitting there going, well, this is just the beginning of it. That's
- 5:21true. Yeah, you're not looking forward to August when it's one hundred degrees
- 5:27and it feels like one hundred and twelve. And also it's it's I don't
- 5:30mind if it feels like a hundred degrees here because I can look out the
- 5:33window down at the beach and I'm not stuck on six thirty five or I'm
- 5:38not stuck on thirty five and Western Center. All right, that's probably enough
- 5:43bragging for now. I will give you. I will give you this,
- 5:47Dan, your pattern has improved as time is going on. You've refined your
- 5:51act. Thank you, Everett. I take my I take my lying prowess
- 5:58very seriously. Excellent, well well done. And as an attorney, you've
- 6:02you've dealt with tons of liers in your career, so you know a good
- 6:06one. When you when you when you hear one, Oh yeah, now
- 6:10you're good. I'll give you that. So I've even listened tray to help
- 6:14out is genius. So yeah, kudos to both of you. Thank you.
- 6:17It's I guess it's a nice thing to be able to move up in
- 6:20the world to mastermind. Yes. So speaking of roads that are treacherous here,
- 6:28and they're treacherous everywhere. Everyone's a you know, every no matter where
- 6:31you live, there's terrible drivers. Back in the day, we didn't have
- 6:35the laws that we do today. Now, I will say this. In
- 6:39the Virgin Islands, drinking and driving is it is an offense. You can
- 6:45get arrested for it, although apparently it's very rare for the most part.
- 6:48They just it's kind of like the good old days. They ask you where
- 6:50you're going, how far it is to get there, and they say be
- 6:53careful. Um, I've not experienced that yet, but I've met people have
- 6:58been like, as no big deal. Whereas you get pulled over in North
- 7:02Texas even if they just kind of suspect you for drinking and driving, you're
- 7:08going downtown. But it didn't always used to be that way. So I
- 7:14saw the other day what it was like in the eighties when those new traffic
- 7:21laws were enacted, and those were the drinking and driving laws. And like
- 7:29most laws that get passed today, as soon as a new law gets passed,
- 7:32everybody's mad at it. Everybody hates it and thinks that, oh,
- 7:36we're you know, we're becoming, you know, the Soviet Union because we
- 7:42have too many laws on the books. So I want to share this with
- 7:45you guys. This was a news report in the eighties. I don't know
- 7:48the exact TV station, but it really doesn't matter. It sounds like Texas,
- 7:55I will say that. And this is what some of the folks who
- 8:00were driving around had to say about the new drinking and driving laws in the
- 8:05United States. So Everett, tell me if any of this sounds familiar in
- 8:09your criminal defense career. Well, any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here
- 8:16is viewed by some as downright undemocratic. It's kind of getting common. As
- 8:20one fella king and I put in a hard day's work, put in eleven
- 8:22twelve hours a day, and then getting your truck in the lace running one
- 8:26or two beers. They're making it law. That really does it really is
- 8:33a blessed from the past. It's like, man, I remember those days.
- 8:37I remember those days as a kid looking in the car next to me
- 8:39and seeing, you know, you know, a guy in his truck just
- 8:41chugging a beer. It was no big deal. And you know, we
- 8:45didn't have to worry about paper bags back then. They just you just drink
- 8:48the beer. It didn't matter. No. I was having this discussion the
- 8:50other day because it's kind of a gen X thing, and I was like,
- 8:54you know, I was like, y'all don't understand, I said,
- 8:56I was growing up. I said, Hey, there no car seats,
- 9:01and we didn't really we didn't have to wear seatbelt seatboat. That law didn't
- 9:03even take effect until like eighty or eighty one. And you know, my
- 9:07dad is, you know, we're driving in the car and he's got a
- 9:09Jim Beamon sod to smoke in a Carlton. And that's when you learn,
- 9:13because you know that you're safe. My safe space was in between the back
- 9:18windshield and the back seat, that little sliver right there, because that was
- 9:22a one space. Your dad could not reach back and hit you while he's
- 9:26having a cigarette, smoke or drink and driving a car. But but if
- 9:31the timing worked out that you did something that he needed to swat you for,
- 9:33but he couldn't reach you, and the timing was so that he was
- 9:37almost done with that cigarette, he could turn and just flick it right at
- 9:41you and hits you square in a face. Oh yeah, no he could.
- 9:46But my dad had the other So I don't know any if y'all ever
- 9:50gets you ass whipped on the side of the road, yes, okay,
- 9:54so yeah, my dad had no qualms about I mean, I thought about
- 9:58this today. I have had my ass whipped on I thirty thirty five,
- 10:01seventy five, sixty eight, sixty nine, and seventy eight the roads.
- 10:05I can remember. You're just a just a child, abused vagrant. Usually
- 10:11people can drive. Usually people can drive around North Texas and they'll say things
- 10:18like, oh, I've been to that restaurant or oh I've had sex there,
- 10:22and instead if you're going around town with tray trays, I've had my
- 10:26ass beat there. I've had my ass beat there. Oh yeah, oh
- 10:30I I there. There are multiples, especially for some reason because we used
- 10:33to go to Mountain Vernon and in between Sulfur Springs and Mount Vernon. I
- 10:37could probably pick out about four spots along I thirty that I'd say, yep,
- 10:41I have mass whipped there there there. It'd be awesome if the Department
- 10:46Transportation put up some yellow signs, you know, with a picture of Tray
- 10:52or like asswhipping areas. It's like like one of those brown historical marker signs.
- 11:00Yeah, they could even you know, maybe make a little parking area
- 11:03so you know, other people see those that go ahead. See boy,
- 11:09Yeah, sure, the rest area is coming up in two miles, but
- 11:11before you get to the rest area, you get the whooping area. Yeah,
- 11:18why why wait to two miles? We need to just pull over on
- 11:20the side of the road and get it done now. Area here, Yeah,
- 11:26because you know, back in Tray's day there was no designated area.
- 11:31The entire shoulder of the highway was a designated whooping area. So it would
- 11:35be nice to think, okay, if there's at least a designated whooping area,
- 11:41you can't pull over until you get to it. So maybe Dad will
- 11:43have calmed down a little bit over those next five to ten miles, whereas
- 11:46in Tray's day it's just immediate whooping right then and there it'd be a lot
- 11:52safer for everyone. But what a what a scene that would be if you
- 11:56just happen to just casually pull into the whooping area and you just see like
- 12:01sixty parents whoop and sixty kids asses next to a coke machine and a toilet.
- 12:09How terrible would it be? Just like a like a structure and there's
- 12:11it's uh, instead of a coke machine, maybe gets a belt machine.
- 12:16Yeah, they could dispense belts and kleenexes and you know, monetize the thing
- 12:20so that it's self sustaining and the little sign for afterwards that says, I
- 12:26take no pleasure in this. Yeah, it's just harder. Yeah, Dan,
- 12:33the one thing you said that it's wrong. It wouldn't be a one
- 12:37to one ratio of parents kids because back in those days, you know,
- 12:41your parents had cart launched whip your friends asses too, and you know vice
- 12:46versa. So if you had any friends in the car, cheezes are everyone
- 12:48was gonna get their ass whips. So it's probably about a two to one,
- 12:52you know, kid to parent ratio. Yeah, And when you first
- 12:54drive up on it, you assume the parents are out number, but then
- 12:58you realize what they pulled an extra belt out of the machine. So now
- 13:01they're now they're double twirling. Well, the other thing I don't know that
- 13:05anyone is you were so traumatized at that age that you knew you could run,
- 13:13but you were just you know, at a certain point you learned that
- 13:15was just gonna make it worse. Well, also because you knew if you
- 13:18ran, by the time they caught you, and they would catch you,
- 13:22they would beat you so bad you'd never want to run again. Also because
- 13:26it would hurt too bad to run. Yeah, but when I got to
- 13:30be about, yeah, fourteen, fifteen years old, that's when I finally
- 13:33realized I could outrun my dad, and I could keep going long enough that
- 13:37he was gonna get so exhausted that I could I could win this battle.
- 13:41I mean, I still had to go home sooner or later, but I
- 13:45knew, you know, given three four hours, chances are he'd calm down
- 13:48a bit. But he was also probably kind of proud of me that we've
- 13:52been running for three or four hours. It's like it's a good thing that
- 13:58it's a good thing you took, it's a good thing you did cross country.
- 14:03I was not a high jumper by any means. But I will say
- 14:09this, if there had been video back in the day, I look damn
- 14:13athletic hopping over fences trying to get away from my dad. That's what you
- 14:16should have done. And back in your track days, uh, cross country
- 14:22was more for training to run away from your father and then the high jump.
- 14:26If he was there behind you trying to whip you, you would just
- 14:30set new personal records, new district records, all sorts of stuff. Thank
- 14:33god my dad had gotten fat at that point, because otherwise it would have
- 14:37been worse. It had been it had been game over. Those Carlton's probably
- 14:41helped your calls too. Try Yeah, that's they most definitely did. Yeah,
- 14:45that's the performance de enhancing of substances. So there's a little bit more
- 14:52on this. I who I want to back up and have fun with.
- 14:54As far as the new drinking and driving laws of the eighties, again,
- 14:58commin is one put in a hard day's work, put in eleven twelve hours
- 15:01a day, and then getting your truck in the lace running one or two
- 15:05beers. They're making it laws where you can't drink when you want to,
- 15:09can't you have to wear a seat belt when you're driving. What I love
- 15:13about this is they're talking to this woman who's who's in the driver's heat of
- 15:16her car, and just like the good old eighties, what's in the front
- 15:20seat next to her the baby, And she's defending not wearing seat belts and
- 15:28being able to drink and drive in your car while next to a baby.
- 15:35It really just goes to show that with enough time, things do have a
- 15:41tendency to, if not change, at least evolve a little bit. Because
- 15:45by today's standards, the vast majority of us are okay with drinking and driving
- 15:50laws. We all agree, even though we may not always abide by them,
- 15:56which is why Everett has such a lucrative career. We at least agree
- 16:00that they should be there. No, and you didn't have to have insurance
- 16:04back then. Really that wasn't mandatory either. When did insurance come into play,
- 16:11I would say that early well maybe not even the early eighties. It
- 16:15might have even been later than that, but yeah, I don't remember well
- 16:19when insurance became mandatory and you know, oh my god, you know we've
- 16:23got to pay money to have insurance because it's illegal not to have insurance.
- 16:30I just find it if you really think about it. It really is fascinating
- 16:36that we're all still standing and have you know, we're not mentally damaged,
- 16:42have some kind of you know, traumatic brain injury, and have both eyes.
- 16:47I mean not only we wrote around you know, our parents were drinking,
- 16:51no seat belt, no car seat, and we had BB gun wars
- 16:53and you know, our parents and we're saying, don't get drush shot out.
- 16:57I mean that's you know, have a metal trash can lid as a
- 17:03shield. And yeah, it's really things with our bicycles. Yeah, all
- 17:11the things, all the things that that you know, And this is part
- 17:14of the problem. Also, it's like people think, well, you you
- 17:15now, you're just you know, like the government, you're making laws where
- 17:18kids can't have fun anymore and adults can't have fun anymore. And you know
- 17:22what we are, we're just we're just turning into a communist country. And
- 17:26there's a reason why you say that, because, uh, the whole communist
- 17:30country thing. Even though it sounds or feels like a new allegation that people
- 17:34throw out when they feel like their freedoms are being um infringed upon, it's
- 17:41it's actually not a new thing. Uh, It actually happened all the way
- 17:44back in the eighties with this mama driving with her baby and defending not wearing
- 17:48a seat belt and drinking and driving. You have to wear a seat belt
- 17:51when you're driving. We're gonna be calmunist country for any pretty soon. Any
- 18:00day now, any day, it's gonna happen. You know what's gonna happen.
- 18:03There's no there's no getting around it. Back in nineteen eighty whatever,
- 18:08before you know it, we're going to be a communist country. Now it's
- 18:11twenty twenty three, and we're still saying that. Some of us are saying
- 18:15that. My whole time favorite comment from a DWI defendant is I had this
- 18:19client one time. He and his wife were with me at court and he'd
- 18:22had a priority to BI and I was representing him on a second DWI and
- 18:27I was explaining to them that, okay, now you know, these have
- 18:32both been misdemeanors, but the next one, it's gonna be a felony if
- 18:37you get another one, just to let you know. And he got this
- 18:40incredulous, incredulous look on his face and said, a felony. I'm gonna
- 18:44have to stop driving your visit us online a treehouse OnAir dot com. Let's
- 19:03welcome into the treehouse now. Rodney Anderson his phone number nine seven two nine
- 19:07eight five fifty two hundred, the website Rodney Anderson dot com. You know,
- 19:11Rodney, I know, for over forty years you've ben helping people with
- 19:14cash out refinances to get out of debt. And debt is getting worse right
- 19:18now because credit card debt, medical debt, interest rates going up. The
- 19:21debt is getting worse for people. So what can you do to help somebody?
- 19:25Let me give you an example of Mark and his wife. We have
- 19:27so many people moving forward on cash out refis, but Mark and his wife
- 19:32are a great example. Here's somebody that lives in South Lake. They're homeless,
- 19:36worth about nine hundred and fifty thousand. They only owe four hundred and
- 19:38fifteen thousand dollars on their mortgage. He had some medical issues and those medical
- 19:44issues got financed on credit cards. He lost income for a little while,
- 19:48and now he's got eighty five thousand dollars in debt. But they have some
- 19:52home repairs that they have to do as well, so they're pulling out one
- 19:55hundred and seventy thousand dollars get this. Their current mortgage righteous real in the
- 20:00twos but they're moving up on rate, but they're paying so much interest on
- 20:04credit cards and other loans and all that between their mortgage and their credit cards.
- 20:10Right now, they're paying fifty nine hundred dollars a month. When we
- 20:12do the cash out refi, it's saving them six hundred dollars a month.
- 20:18And all they have is one mortgage now, no credit card, debt,
- 20:21no nothing, and so DAN. A lot of times people have to see
- 20:25the forest through the trees where you're sitting there, going should I refin?

- 22:11member of the show because you first started on on Russ Martin Show back in
- 22:15the late nineties, you were coming on once a week on the show and
- 22:21answering legal questions and you know, just having fun in general on the show.
- 22:26The only other person that at one point out last that had longer tenure
- 22:30was obviously Russ Well, then he stopped showing up to work a few years
- 22:36before before he passed away, and then you surpassed him, and then of
- 22:41course he eventually, you know, died and then you really overtook him as
- 22:45far as longest running show member. And then other things transpired with other people
- 22:51around the show that either died or went to jail, and as it stands
- 22:56now, it's basically you Everett as the lead dog as far as longest tenured
- 23:03member of the show than me. And now because of either death, jail,
- 23:11or just quitting Trey, congratulations, you're now in the third spot.
- 23:18Doesn't it feel good? I'm still alive even with what a nine ten year
- 23:26absence between the show on the radio and the show here on podcast form,
- 23:33You're still sitting pretty on the podium at number three. You're getting the bronze,
- 23:37baby, Yeah. I mean it's a double edged sword because we're the
- 23:44soul survivors. But if the curse in fact is still acting, the question
- 23:49becomes who's next? I don't know, and it scares me to think about
- 23:56it. Um. The good news is, though, since you've clearly you've
- 24:03you've been breaking the curse all along. And granted we didn't know there was
- 24:07a curse to begin with until a handful of years ago. Like there are
- 24:11always things that had happened two people around the show that might have been occasionally
- 24:17on the show here and there, but then once things really started happening to
- 24:21people on the show, it's like, okay, this this feels like a
- 24:23thing now. So you've been beating at the entire time so far. I
- 24:27guess I kind of have two behind you. But now Trey has done something
- 24:33to sort of release any sort of any curse feelings, because Trey was able
- 24:38to accomplish something recently that even I can't say that that I've accomplished in the
- 24:47last you know, eight nine months. Trey, do you feel like bragging?
- 24:49Yeah, I got a job. It's a miracle. Congratulations, that's
- 25:00awesome. Thank you. You're very happy for you to Trey. Thank you.
- 25:06Yes, I'll be working at a place called The Standard Poor on McKenney
- 25:10Avenue. Look at that. It took him all thirty seconds to get that
- 25:12first plug in there, Dance Skinny, The Standard Poor uptown in Dallas.
- 25:22Yep. Love that place. And I'm not just saying that because you're working
- 25:25there now and I expect a drink or two when I get there, but
- 25:27I actually do love that place. They have a great brunch, Yeah,
- 25:30they do. That's great brunch, great, especially great whiskey selection. So
- 25:37it's a cool spot. I'm excited about it. It's a very cool ownership
- 25:42group. And I thank god I found them and had a good interview and
- 25:48actually had people connected with because if I got rejected by No the thirty year
- 25:53old, I was probably gonna just go throw myself off of a building.
- 25:59Yeah. The uh, the service industry tends to be, you know,
- 26:03especially if it's bars that tends to be dominated by by younger folk. Younger
- 26:10folk. Yeah, and I and I they're part of it. I understand.
- 26:15I have a very odd looking resume, but you know it encompasses running
- 26:21bars, owning part of a bar, and then you know radio and real
- 26:23estate and all sorts of other crap and uh, but you know, you
- 26:30have two ways to go with someone with experience. Either you embrace it and
- 26:33a priest think they can add something with this, you know my new bosses
- 26:38saw, or you feel threatened by it and just don't even return a phone
- 26:44call. So is that what the is that what you think the thirty year
- 26:47olds were doing? They were intimidated by your by your resume. I think
- 26:52some of them, I mean not all, I mean they're I mean I
- 26:55met with some people who are really sharp and you know, may just not
- 26:57have wanted the old fart working for him. See that's kind of what I
- 27:02assume, because if if I'm a thirty year old and i'm you know,
- 27:04I'm in the position to hire a general manager of a bar, restaurant whatever,
- 27:08somebody's cool, and then incomes of incomes, what I'm assuming is a
- 27:14boomer even though you're not a boomer, Tray, You're you're like me,
- 27:18You're part of Gen X, and but anyone older you just by now by
- 27:25like today's standards is pretty much like, oh, here comes the boomer coming
- 27:27in for a job interview. So I kind of assumed that there was a
- 27:30little bit of agism at play. So did you try to did you try
- 27:34to battle that agism at all that you decide to go to invest in some
- 27:40just for men before interviews or anything. No, never even crossed your mind.
- 27:47No, I have never, you know, I'm I am grateful to
- 27:51still have hair, so if gray hair has never bothered me one bit,
- 27:56Nor have I ever thought about dyeing my hair or anything like that. Uh
- 28:02No, I mean now I did, Like there was one person I interviewed
- 28:07with that I did make a terminal mistake. And I knew the minute I
- 28:11said something. What was it? Um? We were talking about um efficiency
- 28:23in liquor and and you know what your liquor cost was and everything else.
- 28:30And they were telling me, oh, you know ours is and the liquor
- 28:33cost is basically the amount you paid for a product divided by the amount you
- 28:41sold said product for and you come up with a number, and so there
- 28:45there's factors in there. What are you charging, how much you pouring everything
- 28:48else? But this person said, oh, no, you know, and
- 28:53despite what you hear other some people say like most places you run around twenty
- 28:59percent, especially when you factor in everything is a lot of waste and draft
- 29:03beer and everything else. But this person said, oh no, we you
- 29:06know have fifteen percent lookuor costs. And I've kind of looked at them funny,
- 29:10really, and then they told me. They're like, I go,
- 29:12well, how much is your poor? And they're like, oh, we
- 29:15poor this amount and I said, huh, I said, sorry, your
- 29:18bartenders and they were pouring this amount. And so you know, if you
- 29:22were to say we're pouring two ounces and you really only pouring ounce and a
- 29:26half, it makes your numbers look a lot better than they actually are because
- 29:30you know, technically you're saving a quarter ounce every poor versus your report.
- 29:37So anyways, I learned I shouldn't correct people in an interview or even have
- 29:44a look on my face like, yeah, you're an idiot. Next time,
- 29:47lead with that. Yeah, so you didn't try just for men.
- 29:56But but I'm thinking maybe it's some different Maybe you change your look like something
- 30:00mod, maybe some platform shoes and a nehru jacket, just go full disguise.
- 30:08Can I wear a monocle too? I would strongly encourage a monocle people
- 30:15underestimate the power of the monocle. You laugh, but I think it gives
- 30:21an air of aristocracy. I mean, look at mister Peanut. Yeah,
- 30:27you know, mister Peanut has never been rejected for a job. No,
- 30:32he rose straight about the top. We had one interview and that was as
- 30:34mister Peanut. He put on the he put on the monocle and boomed.
- 30:37The job was his and he's never had to look back. He's been there
- 30:41ever since, probably like sixty seventy years. What about a pipe? A
- 30:48pipe is good, but a monocle is better? Okay? Is being rejected
- 30:55by a bunch of thirty year olds? Is that why you've been telling us
- 30:57all about moisturizing Trey, trying to trying to keep that youthful appearance. It's
- 31:03like, sure there's some gray up here, but yeah, but look at
- 31:06look at the baby smooth face. Um, you know, I guess kind
- 31:14of. I that's just one of those things I've I mean, being that
- 31:18I'm starting to look fifty. I mean, I'm it's our fifties less a
- 31:26little more than a year away. I just I see people my age and
- 31:29I'm like, oh crap, your aging really badly and I don't want to
- 31:32do that next thing. You know, you're diving face first into a into
- 31:34a tub of dove. Oh and yeah, but uh so, yeah,
- 31:41that's and honestly, that's one of those things I've wish I could go back,
- 31:45you know, twenty years ago and find my younger self, slap the
- 31:49crap out of him and say, you know, go to AA and start
- 31:52moisturizing. You know, most people would take the back to the future route
- 31:57where they say, Okay, you're gonna bet on the MAVs in twenty eleven.
- 32:05You know, if I was going to do that, I'd be like,
- 32:07you know, go buy bitcoin and oh eight. Yeah, there's sort
- 32:12of a laundry list of things that we could then go back and tell our
- 32:15younger selves. The problem with that would be is, at least for me,
- 32:19I'd have to go back to tell my younger self things to invest in.
- 32:22But in order to do it, I'd have to give myself money because
- 32:24I didn't have any at the time. I remember this. We were at
- 32:27Yeah, I was at the truck yard over Greenville Avenue and talking to this
- 32:31girl and she was adamant, said, and this is like twenty twelve,
- 32:36and she said, if you give me five thousand dollars right now, you
- 32:39will be a multimillionaire in ten years. And man, she was right,
- 32:45because I think I figured it out that would have it would have been something
- 32:52like, I mean, well over one hundred million dollars. How did she
- 33:00how did she at the time say she was going to take your five thousand
- 33:02dollars and turn you into multi millionaire. She was trading bitcoin like she was
- 33:07doing like she was one of the like had It was just becoming a thing,
- 33:13and she was she knew more about cryptocurrency than and but she was at
- 33:17and she's like, if you invest in it right now, she goes,
- 33:21you'll be you know, set for the rest of your life if you give
- 33:23it ten years. And it wouldn't even that. I think really it was
- 33:25about six or seven before it just went through the roof. Now is she
- 33:31is she a multi millionaire or did she hang onto her crypto and now she's
- 33:36And now she's out behind the bar that you work out asking for scraps.
- 33:40You know. I don't know what happened to her, but I would be
- 33:44willing to bet she is retired, living off an island in an island,
- 33:49well I'm halfway there, you know. I well, there were I you
- 33:53read stories. I mean I forgot who it was saying about how they let
- 33:58someone pay him in bitcoin and and like they paid for a like Domino's pizza
- 34:05and managed to give the delivery driver talk him into taking bitcoin. It paid
- 34:09him like five thousand you know, bitcoins or something. I mean, at
- 34:15the other time, it was like a penny or whatever for a pizza.
- 34:19If that guy still had those bitcoins, oh my god, he'd probably owned
- 34:22Dominoes at least a lot of franchises. I mean, you would take it.
- 34:30When it hit ten thousand, so yeah, I mean that's you know,
- 34:34fifty million right there. Yeah, that's not a bad day, Yeah,
- 34:38considering it. Really it went up to sixty three thousand, any idea
- 34:42where it is now twenty in the mid twenties, I believe. Wow,
- 34:47I'm still surprised by that because to me, the whole thing and I realized
- 34:51this, uh, not the most recent super Bowl, but I think the
- 34:53Super Bowl prior where all those crypto ads were like Matt Damon telling you it's
- 34:59like, hey, this is this at the future you got to jump on
- 35:00and what was it? Fortune favors the bold it's like no fortune favor.
- 35:05Like, what you're doing is you're telling me someone that owns a bunch of
- 35:08bitcoin or cryptocurrency that an order for your cryptocurrency to be worth it, damn,
- 35:14you need the general public to buy into it as well, because if
- 35:17they don't, then it's not worked nearly as much. It's just more of
- 35:20like, Okay, fine, you own a few things over there, but
- 35:22that's really no big deal to me because I think it's you know, fake
- 35:25or whatever. So that always to me, it's sort of seemed like it,
- 35:30only it wasn't a straight up scam. But in order for it to
- 35:32make sense, in order for it to actually be a real thing, a
- 35:37bunch of other people got to buy into it. Kind of like the New
- 35:39York Stock Exchange. You can say, hey, I have a stock exchange
- 35:43now, but if no one buys into it, then you're just adud to
- 35:46a kiosk. The money now in crypto is not in the buying and selling
- 35:51of it, but in the mining of it. I have a friend who
- 35:53went in with another friend and bough an abandoned prison in West Texas so that
- 36:01they could set up a bitcoin mining operation. They have all this space,
- 36:05and he explaining to be how it works, and it just sounds insane,
- 36:12But basically, you enter these collectives with other people who are also mining bitcoins,
- 36:15and your computers have to answer some sort of question and if they answer
- 36:22the question correctly, then they get a certain percentage of the profit of bitcoin.
- 36:25I mean, it's I'm not explaining it exactly, but it's something along
- 36:30those lines, and it just seems to make no sense. But that's how
- 36:35money for bitcoin that is being mined is apparently somehow apportioned among the people that
- 36:40are actually mining it. And the cost of the cost of the computers to
- 36:45mine it goes up and down with the cost of bitcoin. So part of
- 36:49the secret, he said, is to wait until the price of bitcoin goes
- 36:53low to stock up on the computers that mine it, because the computers become
- 36:59more valuable as the prices of bitcoin rises, because you can make more money
- 37:04mining it during those times. I mean, it's just I mean, he
- 37:07knows what he's doing. He's a tech entrepreneur, and yeah, or you
- 37:10have to you have to know a computer person smart enough to solve the problem.
- 37:16The equation that you have to do to get to that point. But
- 37:20the biggest thing, you know, you can you can go get a trailer
- 37:23and like a a railcar type trailer and you just need to air condition and
- 37:30you stock it with servers and if you if you know how to do it.
- 37:34The biggest thing with mining for bitcoin, yeah you do get a percentage
- 37:37of what you mind, I forgot what it was. But but the power,
- 37:42the electricity you have to you go through to mine bitcoin is enormous and
- 37:47that's been the challenge that he's had that in cooling the prison, right,
- 37:52because you've got to keep the servers cool. For a second there, I
- 37:55forgot that he actually put all the servers in the computer in a prison.
- 38:00It just I just thought normal prison there in West Texas for it for a
- 38:04very brief moment. Also, what about the good old you know, you
- 38:07know when a trailer was just you know, it was like breaking bad.
- 38:09You use an RV, you drive out the middle of the desert, you
- 38:12cook some method, then you go back home. Now it's just like,
- 38:15what's the trailer for I'm I'm mining some bitcoin? I asked, are you
- 38:21sure you're not making this up? This just sounds made up? But no,
- 38:24I mean well, I mean, you know it is because bitcoin's made
- 38:28up right, right, But the idea that there's you know, big money
- 38:32to be made doing this process that he describes just sounded outlandish to me.
- 38:37But apparently it's a thing. Yeah, they're nowhere near smart enough to try
- 38:44to figure that stuff out, and I at least I'm aware of that.
- 38:47What is it tray? Oh, there's so many of the cryptocurrencies out there
- 38:52now, and like whichever one is actually gains enough momentum that is will be
- 39:01traded between people. A lot of people think it's gonna the gaming community is
- 39:07what's going to really dictate the next big thing in cryptocurrency, because what if
- 39:14they ever latch onto something that can be traded amongst them, or who wins
- 39:19a game? Who you know, basically betting gambling, but it's you really
- 39:24can't regulate it. That's going to be the next crypto that goes through the
- 39:28roof. Well that's interesting because I've got thirty two hundred Call of Duty points
- 39:31just sitting just sitting there in my PlayStation account ready to be invested. But
- 39:37trust me, I am nowhere good enough to be able to actually bet it
- 39:40and win. I'm that's that's not that's not gonna be smart on my part.
- 39:44But if I could, like if there was going to be like you're
- 39:46saying, betting, because you can bet on sports, you can bet on
- 39:51boxing and football and all these things, I'd be okay with doing a little
- 39:54esports betting. I can take some of those some of those you know internet
- 39:58coins that I've got saved up my seat heat coins, and then I can
- 40:01uh put those on, you know, someone who I think is gonna win
- 40:06the next Call of Duty or maddened tournament, and then boom, I'm I'm
- 40:08making money. Try to be a better way, probably the overall better way
- 40:17is to go back in time and uh slap yourself. Well, this is
- 40:23what probably what I would do. I go back in time, slap myself
- 40:27and say go to law school. So then that way I can live the
- 40:31life that that Everett lead leads to be a better way. Well, look,
- 40:39since you did that, it seems like not fun or not exciting,
- 40:43But to a bunch of other people, it's like, ah, that's that's
- 40:45was clearly a successful path to take. No, no, no, I
- 40:50mean it's I'm not I'm not complaining about it, but you know there,
- 40:54I think, no matter what you do, you always think, well,
- 40:57what if I've done something else? So you know I have those thoughts too.
- 41:00Sure, Yeah, because I know that you're a you know, deep
- 41:04down you're you want to be a you know, a rock star, you
- 41:07know, a metal god. But at least you get good stories out of
- 41:10the lawyer thing, like having a guy who's on the verge of getting his
- 41:15third duy, which will be a felony, and he hits the realization that
- 41:19he's gonna have to stop driving. Yeah, you know, that sort of
- 41:22wisdom is not imparted in everyday life, ordinarily to most people. Yeah,
- 41:30I'm not sure if you get that same story if you're if you're the lead
- 41:32guitarist of Nun Puncher, that's true, that's true, although you know,
- 41:38you know, I guess it depends on well they're not you hang out with
- 41:42this guy. Yeah, maybe maybe if this guy's your roadie, yes,
- 41:47yeah, because he's certainly not driving. No, no, no, Insance
- 41:52would never go for that. On the flip side, one of the most
- 41:54successful people we've known was, you know, barely a high school graduate from
- 42:00Pleasant Grove And look at him. Now you're listening to the treehouse visitors online
- 42:09that Treehouse on air dot com. Thanks for the setup, Dre. That's
- 42:19stung. Time now to welcome into the treehouse. Daniel Cook from Cook DFW
- 42:25Roofing and Restoration the phone number eight three three Cook DFW, the website Cook
- 42:30dfw dot com. You know, one of the most important services you offer,
- 42:34Daniel is a free roof inspection. It's amazing, one of the most
- 42:37important services you offer you actually give away for free. But that's because with
- 42:43all the storms coming and going. As a homeowner, you don't really know
- 42:45what shape your roof is in. No, Dan, You're right, and
- 42:49we get on some roofs and people are shocked to find out the pictures that
- 42:52we bring back down and show them. You know, did you know you
- 42:55have this or did you see that the part of your chimney was coming off,
- 42:59or did you know that you had a boot that had you know,
- 43:01blown off of one of your pipe Jackson. So all of these things are
- 43:05critical to the integrity of the roof, and people do not take the chances,
- 43:09you know, to go up on their own roof hopefully, and we
- 43:13need and we don't want you to. So that's why you need us to
- 43:15come out. We're gonna walk that roof. We're gonna get up there,
- 43:17we're gonna give you some pictures. We're gonna give you a report and show
- 43:21you exactly what you need to have done on your roof to protect your home
- 43:24because you do not want to have a leak in the middle of the night
- 43:27or the next rainstorm that comes through. And figure out why I wish I
- 43:31had checked that roof before something like this had happened, because I'm telling you,
- 43:35these water damages are big. Use that phone number to get ahold of
- 43:37COOKEDFW Roofing and restoration and schedule that free roof inspection for yourself right now.
- 43:43Eight three three cook DFW eight three three cook DFW or cookedfw dot com.
- 43:49Business online at Treehouse on air dot com. Let's welcome into the treehouse.
- 43:53Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing, the website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com, the phone
- 43:58number two one four three six eighty eight thirty eight. You've mentioned this before,
- 44:01but I think it's important that we bring it up again. Getting your
- 44:05plumbing inspected when you're trying to buy a house, because while a home inspection
- 44:09is great and necessary, they're not plumbers, and I think it's a great
- 44:13thing that you offered those plumbing inspections for people. Okay, so your general
- 44:17home inspector is going to look at most things above your slab level, so
- 44:22they'll know if you've got a kitchen sink that's leaking in the cabinet, they'll
- 44:24know if you've got a slow drain, and absolutely email me that inspection report
- 44:29and I'll ballpark everything it's going to take to get those little things fixed.
- 44:32Which you should know that in advance anyways, But those inspectors do not have
- 44:37X ray vision. They can't tell you what's happening below the slab, and
- 44:39so if you've got a leak of some sort, the best thing you can
- 44:42do is know in advance so you can try to negotiate down the sale price
- 44:45of that house. I went and actually protested my property taxes yesterday, and
- 44:49I cited that fact because I've owned my house for less than a year.
- 44:52Hey, look there was a sewer leak. I argued my property taxes down
- 44:54by so much yesterday because I was an informed buyer. The more you know,
- 44:59the farther you'll go. So you want to be in the noth and
- 45:01called Jacqueline and her team at Brooks Plumbing two one four three six eight thirty
- 45:06eight thirty eight. That's two one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight.

- 46:30on there. Um, But speaking of bars, do you think Standard and
- 46:36Poor would ever entertain the idea of of having this treehouse traveled to their respectable
- 46:42establishment and doing a doing a live road show. Yes, I believe they
- 46:45would. Good to know us. I've already, I've already, I've already
- 46:50mentioned it to the owner. Oh, I had a boy, look at
- 46:52you work in it? Yes, So, speaking of that, Everett,
- 46:55I'm not sure if you've noticed on social media, but we did book ourselves

- 48:01You get to see it before anybody else does. And we're also going to
- 48:07have some giveaways. We're gonna have a handful of giveaways and some prizes,
- 48:13and of course drinks and which is you know, no value to Everett or
- 48:16Trey, but I'll have some. You can have ours, that's right.
- 48:22I feel like I did at the last one. All of a sudden,
- 48:25I looked down and I've got like six shots in front of me. And
- 48:29it's mainly because Trey and Everett don't drink, so they just you guys just
- 48:32kept passing him down to the middle to me. Well it should, you
- 48:37know, somebody should make you so. Absolutely, I've got this. Uh,
- 48:42I've got this Blacksmithing hacks webinarum the afternoon of the set up. Let
- 48:51me see if I can move that, and if I can, I'll be
- 48:54there. You have a blacksmithing blacksmithing hacks you know, I mean there's some
- 49:05things you can do apparently when blacksmithing that really help make the process much more
- 49:10efficient and profitable. How long have you been um studying blacksmithing? Cool for
- 49:17the past six years? Oh so six years? But you still need some
- 49:21hacks. Well you can always learn more. You've gotta stay on top of
- 49:27your craft or you're you're gonna fall behind. All right, Well, if
- 49:30if you can, if you can squeeze us in after your Blacksmithing hacks seminar,
- 49:37we'd we'd really appreciate it, and I know the listeners would would once
- 49:39again love to see you and I watch it while I'm there. Sure,
- 49:46yeah, absolutely, maybe we can all learn something while did you did you
- 49:51use your blacksmithing talents to build your owl house. I'm not. I don't
- 49:57want to talk about that. Oh is there like a blacksmith in code?
- 50:00Owls or extincts? Let me just say that I'm not even sure they still
- 50:05exist. Well, they certainly don't seem to exist in your backyard. That
- 50:10answers my follow up. Maybe we'll have an answer to that. Trey July
- 50:16seventh, that Daddy Rabbits Pub in Louisville five to seven pm. I mean,
- 50:22did you did? Did you make the owl house out of wood?
- 50:24Maybe that's your problem. Maybe maybe need to craft it out of iron?
- 50:29Now I had he was. He got spive to the owl guy, which
- 50:31could be a misnumber. At this point, I'm thinking they will. Do
- 50:37you think you've got a little deceptive trade practices claim against this guy? There's
- 50:43something amiss, But no, he built it and I mean it. Oh.
- 50:46If I were an owl, I'd be proud to live there, But
- 50:50I'm not an owl sou But serious question. Have you guys seen any owls
- 50:57lately in person? Not just on TV or on the in or not?
- 51:07I mean an actual owl? You know you're right. I think the only
- 51:08place I've seen any owls has has been on Twitter, and as I mean,
- 51:13I think we know that not everything online is real and deep fakes,
- 51:15deep fakes are a real thing. So maybe the owls I've seen on Twitter
- 51:19or deep fakes. Oh but a I anything's possible visually, So yeah,
- 51:24I'm pretty sure they're extant. You think there's a big cover up conspiracy about
- 51:30owls? Absolutely? What what other possible explanation could there be? You haven't
- 51:36seen any owls, have you, Trevor? Not not in Dallas where I
- 51:40mean, I've go out in the country. I see him. But but
- 51:44when was that the last time you saw an Now it's it's been a minute.
- 51:47I could not tell you exactly how long it's been, but it's definitely
- 51:52been a while. But I mean, maybe maybe they just don't like your
- 51:55house. No, they're extant. Well, perhaps then if you ever decide
- 52:04to retire from lawyering, Everett, maybe you could maybe you could start up
- 52:07an owl hunting business. Now it interview with my blacksmithing. All right,
- 52:15fine, fine, fine, all right? So speaking of jobs, so
- 52:17Trey, do you think your job at standard is at standard poor or standard
- 52:22and port just standard poor? At standard poor, which is something that you
- 52:28never had during your drinking days. Oh, I had a standard. It
- 52:34was a full glass. Your standard was everyone else's all of it. Yeah,
- 52:38your in your days, your standard was everyone else's call for help.
- 52:44Yeah. So, anyway, there's a I think it's an adult toy website.
- 52:49It's I think it's lovehoney dot com. They they asked a bunch of
- 52:52their customers what some of the sexiest jobs are for people to have, and
- 53:00and it's it's not it's not bad as far as what some of these occupations
- 53:07are. And honestly, some of them are, you know, kind of
- 53:10easy to guess. So the top sexiest according to women, the top sexiest
- 53:16professions are firefighter, builder, police officer, doctor, mechanic, paramedic,
- 53:23musician, electrician, farmer, and lawyer. Yeah, right, there you
- 53:30go. Everett was at the bottom of the list, though. No,
- 53:34that's the top ten sexiest professions according to women, So it's number ten.
- 53:37But yeah, it's it's in the top ten, which I think you could
- 53:42then divide that list up into two categories of women were saying sexy jobs by
- 53:46amount of money you make, and then sexy jobs by either danger or just
- 53:52mystique or the uniform. Yeah, on the flip side, the top sexiest
- 53:57professions according to men, light attendant, nurse, secretary, teacher, actor,
- 54:02police officer, doctor, maid, singer, and Trey, here's yours
- 54:08bartender. So according to this, you're you're you're sexiest among men. Trey,
- 54:15congratulations. Lingerie model didn't make the list, No, it didn't,
- 54:19And I'm with you. It's like, is that too obvious of an answer,
- 54:22because you know, I kind of came up with my own list of
- 54:24sexiest you know professions, And if I'm being honest, I think mine seems
- 54:31I think mine seems better than this one. And on end, hooker slash
- 54:37stripper. How is that not making the top ten of sexiest professions. That's
- 54:40that's one of the that's these, that's these sexy you know profession or even
- 54:45only fans model. That should be an easy one. But a few of
- 54:52the other jobs I have on here that I think are really sexy. Uh,
- 54:55there's the floor scrubber at an adult theater, and and why do you
- 55:04think that's sexy? I mean, having a clean place to to to jerk
- 55:09off around strangers? Is how is that not a turn on? Trey?
- 55:14But you want a dirt you want a dirty, sticky floor. You know
- 55:16what, I hadn't thought of it, and that that perspective you're you're absolutely
- 55:21corrects a woman who believes in the greater good. Um, Let's see what
- 55:30else did I have? Oh? Podcast host? Podcast host I think is
- 55:34super super super super sexy. Right, I mean, come on, right,
- 55:37Trey. I mean this means you now get on two lists. You
- 55:40not only are you a bartender but also a podcast host. I mean,
- 55:45come on, who some other some other jobs I think are super sexy.
- 55:51Uh, roofer, plumber. I think plumbers are very sexy. Roofers are
- 55:55very sexy getting on there fixing shingles and things. Hums lay in pipe pillow.
- 56:00Uh. And then probably the sexiest would be, uh would be mortgage
- 56:05lender. I think mortgage lender is extremely sexy. Wow, so you think
- 56:10so? You think all our sponsors are really sexy? Yes? I do.
- 56:15They are. They are very very very sexy. They are sexy people
- 56:20promoting a very sexy podcast. I mean, we all knew Rodney, but
- 56:24I you know, Rodney of course is sexy. But glad to know you
- 56:30think the other two are sexy professions they are? Mean? I mean,
- 56:36didn't you're the I mean rufer plumber. I mean that's that was on the
- 56:42list. What the original list, I mean handy like people who build stuff.
- 56:46That's people like that, I guess, so I went more specific.
- 56:50I think it's I think it's you need to be I think you're just trying
- 56:52to kiss the sponsors ass. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Yeah,
- 56:57if I'm being honest, is my list a little tainted? Yes, yes
- 57:00it is. It's a little tainted because I'm clearly biased and I'm okay,
- 57:02I'll admit it. That also reminds me taint scrubber. Taint scrubber is an
- 57:07extremely sexy profession. Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, yeah, because you
- 57:16don't you don't want what was the term of the the news guy from Houston,
- 57:22the crotch something or whatever, Oh the gooch grease, gooch grease.
- 57:27Yeah, because I mean that's clearly that's bad. So a good taint scrubber,
- 57:32that is, that is a sexy position. Uh huh. It is
- 57:36like you you want to make millions in life, you go to Houston and
- 57:38you start up a good taint scrubbing business and you can help cure all the
- 57:42gooch grease in and around the Houston area. There's a lot of it.
