Episode 41: Radio Fires the Best People with Angela Chase · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:24
Welcome into the Treehouse. Time to leave your worries outside enjoin us here in
0:31
the Treehouse where we let our stupid all just hang out. I'm Daniel Malley
0:36
along with Trey Trenholme and today's very very very esteemed special guest. We've we've
0:43
missed you, Angela Chase. How have you been. Oh, I've missed
0:46
you. Guys. It's so nice to see you so so long. Isn't
0:51
it nice when old radio friends pop up out of nowhere and be like,
0:54
hey, do you want to do my podcast? Well? Yeah, until
0:58
you start doing the math on how long you've known people, and then you're
1:00
like, oh my god, I'm like really old now. But you know
1:03
you can say you're veterans, so I guess there's that part. Yeah,
1:07
I guess you could. And age is uh, if I'm being honest,
1:11
Angela. Age is kind of a touchy subject around here right now because somebody,
1:18
not me, but somebody has a has a birthday like tomorrow, tomorrow,
1:26
Happy birthday, Trey. Oh yeah, thanks, I'm so excited.
1:33
So you get there aren't enough there's not enough room on a cupcake for all
1:38
the trays candles. Yeah, that's you don't look at Jay over twenty two.
1:45
Oh god bless you. Yeah, it's begins to ring my last year
1:51
of my forties. Oh, which just is painful to even say, Well,
1:56
you still have another year though before before your act fifty. The downside
2:00
is, though if I remember correctly, I believe it's forty nine and a
2:05
half, is around the time when AARP sends you that heads up the card.
2:09
Oh hey, I'm all. If there's one thing I'm excited about,
2:14
it is AARP. Absolutely. I embracing the discount on restaurants and insurance and
2:22
travel and everything else. Car, oh, and golf because you can get
2:29
a senior discount when you golf. Seriously, Oh yeah, that seems like
2:35
cheating because most guys that played golf are over fifty. Oh you know,
2:38
that's how they get them to come in. And you're the ones that are
2:44
always getting those early tea times before the sun comes up, and all the
2:47
ones that are under fifty or melting at one o'clock in the afternoon. Well,
2:51
yeah, that's no want to sweat too much out there. And you
2:55
say that as a as I've got a seven AMT time tomorrow. He's practicing,
3:02
he's practicing for that fiftieth Oh man, he's practicing for his dream to
3:07
join the Senior Tour along with everybody else at his age. I would go
3:10
off clap for that tray. I'll join her. So Angela Chase formerly of
3:20
Everything, Yeah, I think I think we've all done the radio circle jerk
3:24
enough to know that we've You you start at one company, you might go
3:30
to another company, maybe another company after that, and then you somehow you
3:34
end up back at at a previous company or the same station where you start
3:38
at all sorts of things at all full circle. So yeah, I've been
3:45
to all of the white people clusters. I've done all the white people clusters.
3:49
Although I did do some traffic for Radio one, so I really have
3:53
been everywhere. So did did you actually use Angela Chase when you did you
3:59
know, traffic on nine the Beat? I think I had to come up
4:01
with a fake name because I was on the Eagle at the time, so
4:04
they just called me Angela or I think one time they called me Angela Smith
4:09
and I was like, yeah, you can tell I'm white. Huh.
4:13
It's just amazing. It's like, you know, we have to change your
4:15
name because you're going to be on a different station, So Angela, we
4:18
need to make sure we give you a really clever spy name. Yeah,
4:23
going to go with Angela. Yes, yeah, they were. They were
4:27
really making that one difficult for the listeners to figure out. At least none
4:31
would like Angier whatever. Oh yeah, yeah, I think somebody did that
4:36
once as well. So but yeah, that's about the extent of their creativity.
4:41
So how long has it been since you've been forced to abdicate under to
4:46
live under the broadcasting boot of creativity? Wait? The broadcasting boot boot of
4:54
creativity? You mean like since I well, I wasn't booted, I left
4:58
voluntarily. Are you saying like, how long has been since I've been out?
5:01
No, just saying that they stifle creativity basically, Oh oh god,
5:05
oh sorry, Um, well, that was fifteen years that I did that.
5:10
But in the beginning I did get to be creative, so that part
5:13
was fun. And then and then a round I don't know, I guess
5:16
like maybe around in a year, like basically when Chris Ryan was no longer
5:20
the program director, creativity became stifled for me at the Eagle mhmm. Yeah,
5:26
so that was I don't even know what twenty eleven. Okay, well,
5:31
well Trey's got all the receipts in the treehouse. Yeah, well,
5:35
Dan, you should that that that is an obvious one because it was the
5:40
transition from Chris Ryan to Don Davis's program director, which was also our transition
5:44
from mornings to afternoons. Okay, so I remember, I remember twenty eleven
5:48
for being when we went from mornings to afternoons. That's all I recall it.
5:53
I didn't remember when Don Davis became our program director officially, because I
5:59
don't think we ever actually talk to him for months until after he actually had
6:03
the job. I don't remember when our first meeting with him was. Oh
6:08
okay, now that's not necessarily a slam on him. That's more of a
6:11
look inside how dark my brain has become because I don't remember too good.
6:15
Well, I also think that y'all, your show was just so it was
6:18
like its own entity, and so I think all the pds sort of kind
6:21
of kept just kind of let that ship steer itself. I'm guessing. I
6:26
don't know. I mean, I wasn't on the inside, but that's sort
6:28
of how it seemed to me. No, that's accurate. I think they
6:30
all realized, you know what, they know what they're doing. Leave them
6:32
alone. And even if we didn't know what we were doing, don't talk
6:35
to us about it. Right except for the ACDC. Except for the ACDC,
6:42
there's only so many songs that they could add. Yeah, but no,
6:46
I just yeah. Chris Ryan was always really good about just sort of
6:48
like letting you do your thing, but don was. I just remember him
6:53
being like, Okay, this is going to be a local break, so
6:55
you need to talk about sports. That I was like, but everybody knows
6:58
I hate sports. Oh, everybody's going to know I'm lying it, and
7:01
I'll probably give the wrong information. I would have told you to lean into
7:05
the fact that you hate sports. I would have said, okay, well
7:08
you have to mention. It's Monday and you're doing a midday shift. You
7:12
gotta mention what the Cowboys did the day before, and so you lean into
7:15
it. You'd just be like, yeah, I don't care, but my
7:17
boss told may have to mention it, and so I'm mentioning it, and
7:20
now I hate sports more because I have to talk about That would have been
7:24
a lot more fun, and I wouldn't have felt like my creativity was stifled.
7:28
Especially if they had lost, because then you could say, what's there
7:30
to enjoy? Exactly, totally agree with you on that one. They weren't
7:35
even winning back then. Yeah, I would have been able to make that
7:36
comment a whole lot. I would have just had a Lyne ready to go.
7:40
It would have made my workday go a lot faster, and it would
7:43
have been relatable to the audience because they all hated it too, because they
7:45
didn't even if they like sports, they hated watching the you know, their
7:48
team lose. Yeah, that's true, and I do know what that's like,
7:53
Yes, it is. Yeah, Unfortunately, we all do know that.
7:57
The good news is, though, is all that stuff is behind us,
8:00
where I'll now living our lives of riches and fantasy. The man who
8:07
lives in paradise, Yeah yeah, he one of us is. It's not
8:13
me. I've got a window unit behind me. Okay, look all right,
8:18
Look, okay, so I planned ahead. So it turns out from
8:22
when the format changed back in the day at CBS from Live one, O,
8:26
five, three to the fan, we were all able to see the
8:28
writing on the wall and we're like, okay, we think something's going on,
8:31
and then it finally happened. Well, that was a huge lesson in
8:35
my career. So then when some of that same writing started to appear on
8:39
the studio walls, in the station walls at the Eagle, I was like,
8:43
I'm not going to be blindsided this time. I'm going to start making
8:46
plans. So that's what I did. I made plans. Uh, still
8:48
did my job, Still still did my job well, but I made plans.
8:52
Yeah. And because I made plans, you know, I find myself,
8:56
you know, splitting time between an island and the Caribbean and here in
9:01
Dallas. Would have been nice for you to have told your friend Trey sitting
9:05
next to you, that you are making plans. You could have gotten a
9:07
little tiky hut next door. Trey. I'm still working on it. I've
9:13
told him. Tray's been Tray. Actually, Trey actually when he was between
9:16
jobs a few months ago, he actually gained to the island and stayed with
9:20
me in Tara and had a blast. Was it like weekend at Bernie's,
9:24
just like the slick It was. It was really embarrassing. It was Trey
9:26
on one side, my wife on the other, and my shoes tied to
9:30
theirs because I got so loaded, they had to walk me around. Do
9:33
you want a quick fun fact, Angela, did you ever see a Weekend
9:37
at Bernie's two? I mean, potentially it could have been running on cable
9:41
and I wasn't aware that that's what I was watching. But if you're asking
9:46
if I'm like really intimately familiar with it, the answer is no. I
9:48
don't think most people are, including the people that starred in it. But
9:52
I will tell you this Weekend at Bernie's too, was filmed on St.
9:58
Thomas US VII, right, so you can, actually you should do like
10:01
a weekend at Bernie's tour. You can make some money like that, just
10:05
bringing guests through and then just getting them loaded and walking them around. It's
10:11
the whole weekend. A weekend at Bernie's extravaganza. Yeah, I'm sure you
10:16
would have some people that would show up to that, you know, you
10:18
know you would, actually, yeah, we probably would, especially when you
10:24
think about how many cruise ships come through St. Thomas. Yes, oh
10:28
yeah, and you just tell them, hey, you want a fun excursion,
10:30
how about the weekended Bernie's excursion. I got you the weekend at Bernie's
10:33
pub crawl, and I end up at the bottom of the ocean with an
10:37
arrow through your head. Yeah, you can make money on both ends because
10:41
you could basically be a matchmaker between a drunk and two you know, sober
10:45
people that you know, wander them around. That is good, but I
10:50
will say this, you have to be careful. You do have to be
10:52
careful though about making money on both ends. That's a different excursion. Yeah,
10:56
that's true. That's fire. You could combine them, but I don't
11:03
know. I'm not sure what the island laws are regarding necrophilia. That took
11:09
a dirty turn, and all of a sudden, Angela's thinking, you know
11:11
what, this show feels dirty and I'm currently on it in and over the
11:16
garage apartment. Yeah, I've got the dirtiest thing going on here. I
11:20
also have a nineteen year old tweenie in this room because it's way too hot
11:24
for her downstairs, and she is pretty gassy. So it smells really amazing
11:30
up here between the old man smell, which really goes with weekend at Bernie's
11:33
team, and then my gassy dog. Yeah, I'm like dying over here,
11:35
but I've got a smile on my face. I'm just I'm rolling with
11:39
it. The show must go on. Oh you know what, though,
11:43
here's the thing. Everything you just described as far as a gassy dog an
11:48
old man smell trust me, Angela, that was the Eagle studio near the
11:52
end. I believe you that, I truly truly believe. So what have
12:00
you been up to since since you hung up your headphones? I know,
12:03
for a while. Uh Like, if we wanted to, we could easily
12:05
shift this treehouse episode into three three real estate professional show if we wanted to,
12:13
because I know you were doing real estate for a while after you get
12:16
out of radio. It would be a short show with some agles in it.
12:20
So I don't know, I don't know. Um yeah, you know
12:24
real Estate was funny and it's like, I mean, like you, I
12:28
did it during COVID. I got my license during COVID, which was not
12:31
awesome, especially with those interest rates, as Trey and I were discussing earlier.
12:35
But um yeah, so I just discovered that people are really mean,
12:41
like really really mean and do not do not respect you at all. I
12:46
mean, I thought it was bad working at the Eagle, but this was
12:50
a whole different level of disrespect. I don't respect you, and damn sure
12:56
they do not respect your time well, and at least at the Eagle they
12:58
paid me a little bit of money. But in real estate, I was
13:01
just paying to work and drive people around. So yeah, I I reached
13:07
a new low when I became a real estate agent. And finally I was
13:09
like, you know what, I have more self respect than this. I'm
13:11
going to go work at my Pilates studio and go on vacation. And even
13:16
if I make less than a thousand dollars a month, that's still more money
13:18
than I make in real estate. So and the good thing is with Pilates,
13:22
it's not like you had to go and buy a bunch of stuff in
13:26
advance or spend thousands of dollars on sales courses or something. Nope, not
13:31
at all. And it's really easy. You just clock in, clock out,
13:35
and once you're gone, you're gone, and that's it, and you
13:37
get to stretch and stuff you do. You do, get to stretch and
13:39
stuff. Get a discount on my workouts, which is nice. I actually
13:43
I enjoyed my time doing real estate and I and I still I still do
13:46
it. I've still got my license. I'm not super active because I'm not
13:52
here. I'm not here in North Texas enough to really do it full time.
13:58
So I'll do like a little bit here and there. But um,
14:01
it's interesting you mentioned as far as people you know treating you like just crap
14:05
sometimes. Yeah, for the most part, I had some pretty good clients.
14:09
Actually, I had some really good clients. I had one set of
14:11
clients that I absolutely wanted to throw on a pire and set on fire.
14:16
Yeah, And they started out really cool and dan as they do, and
14:22
then they turned. I don't know, someone fed them after me after midnight
14:26
or got them what or what the deal was. Um, they turned.
14:30
And so there was there's one woman in our real estate office. I'll give
14:33
it a plug, because why not. It's your home free dot com.
14:35
And in our in our real estate office at your home Free, there's a
14:39
there's there's there's an individual in there who is considered the pitbull of the office.
14:45
She's the one that handles all the contract to close stuff for the other
14:50
Okay, she knows, she knows how to negotiate everything. In the middle
14:54
of an option period when she can negotiate everything, she's the one that you
14:58
send and she's the closer, right And one time we had a call with
15:05
these two clients, myself and our closer, and uh, it's it was.
15:11
It was pretty interesting because she had to calm me down because I about
15:18
because I still remember where I was. I was driving south on the tollway
15:20
at Keller Springs on my way to the radio station, having a phone call
15:24
that I've had a conference call with these real estate clients and they said something
15:28
along the lines of what you work for me and blah blah blah blah blah
15:31
blah blah. And keep in mind they were totally in the wrong and whatever
15:33
the situation was. And and I about invented the technology to crawl through the
15:39
prone to crawl through the phone and strangle some bitches. And again, so
15:43
our office pit bull had to like call me down and take the deed as
15:46
far as like, oh, you know, and we'll figure this out.
15:48
It's okay, And she smoothed things over. I never saw them again,
15:52
and it was a good thing I didn't. Yeah, how about you,
15:56
Trey, Have you had any nightmare stories train nightmare stories? Oh? I've
16:04
got. And the thing that really where I just was my burnout of real
16:10
estate was I had basically and this is I mean, this is over fifteen
16:15
years ago. But it was three million dollars in title on two separate transactions,
16:21
and but they were tied together. And basically it all came down to
16:27
that the sellers and buyers on one of them, they were gotten a pissing
16:33
contest over fifteen hundred dollars drapes. And I tried, like, I was
16:40
like, I'll pay for the draft here, you know, I'm and but
16:45
you couldn't do it, and like and that, you know, three million
16:51
dollars then was you know, probably five six million now, So I mean
16:56
it gives a lot of money. And and that's when I remember I I
17:00
threw my phone on my car. You know, the floorboard next to me
17:04
broke it, which was just you know, the cherry on top of oh
17:08
yeah, saying you know, ninety thousand dollars go down the drain, and
17:14
uh, I'm assuming it broke the phone, not through the phone so hard
17:18
it broke the car. No, it broke the phone. That's where you
17:22
needed that technology to be able to crawl through the phone. Oh yeah,
17:26
I'm been able to get on the other side instead of breaking. Well yeah,
17:30
okay, maybe that's maybe that's a good thing. Maybe it's a good
17:32
thing. That that technology hasn't been created then Dan, Yeah, but I'm
17:34
still working on it. I mean not with my hands, because I'm terrible.
17:38
I'm terrible engineering and actually physically inventing something. But I'm I got ideas.
17:45
Yeah, I got the ideas. I've got the vision. I just
17:48
need someone to actually do the you know, the knowledge based stuff. You
17:53
just need to rent somebody with Asperger's you know, just like you know,
17:56
it's like an eight hour day and just be like, Okay, here's my
17:59
ideas. I need you to figure out how to implement them. Well,
18:03
the biggest thing you figure out is that in real estate and then you just
18:07
realize it. It's pervasive and everything is people are stupid and there's just no
18:11
getting around it. Well, I think that they just think that they know
18:15
because they have the Zilo app. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
18:21
that's that's that's one of the most dangerous things in the world today is people
18:26
thinking they know more than they actually do. Yeah, and a lot of
18:30
them think that. But yeah, by the way, it's it's not it's
18:33
not a disease that is limited to you know, Dallas, Fort Worth or
18:37
Texas or the United States. I mean there's there's plenty of stupid people on
18:41
the island where I live. The differences they're just all smiling. Well,
18:47
that's because they're in paradise. There are the simpler They're right. Most of
18:55
the time, it is. Most of the time it is much simpler.
18:56
And that's one of the reasons why we wanted to go, you know,
19:00
a business opportunity for my wife, and also because you know, I was
19:04
I was just kind of sick at stuff and a little bit of change of
19:07
pace. I thought, yeah, this sounds nice. I don't mind it.
19:11
You know, if I wanted to every day, if I want to
19:12
go stick my feet in the ocean, I can. Have you taken up
19:15
any new hobbies since you've been there? Podcasting, Yeah, but no,
19:21
like scuba diving or anything like that. I am not a scuba guy.
19:25
I don't know if I'll ever do that. And like I know, Trey,
19:29
you're a scuba guy. I don't. I have an irrational fear of
19:36
heights, and me too. Actually I shouldn't. I shouldn't say a fear
19:40
of heights is irrational to me, that's rational. The irrational fear I have
19:45
is when I'm in water. That's really really deep, especially if I can't
19:48
see the bottom. It's the same feeling I get as if I'm if I'm
19:52
up on something really high, and it's irrational because I'm not going to fall
19:56
down that deep dark abyss in the ocean. Because float My anxiety doesn't seem
20:03
to recognize, you know, reason I get that. I had a hard
20:07
time getting scuba certified. I actually had, like the scuba instructor, I
20:11
had to, like during the lunch break, go separately with him and I
20:15
held his hand and the entire I was like, do not let go of
20:18
my hand because I was so it freaked me out. The idea like we
20:22
had to descend and like go twenty five feet down and then they were like
20:26
okay, and then wait on this platform, And the idea of just waiting
20:29
down there freaked me out like like no other. It was just that waiting
20:33
and waiting and waiting and then like what if I need to like scratch or
20:37
you know, and it's like and I can't, I can't. It just
20:40
felt so suffocating. You do in those situations. I cope with it.
20:48
I mean, you have to. The platform is just to teach you,
20:52
so you don't get the bins when you come up. Basically, what's also
20:56
a scuba ranch. That's all that's there. It's just like a platform feet
21:00
It's a lot better than it's a lot better than that lake. I think
21:03
it's it's either in Michigan or Minnesota, somewhere up north where it's like at
21:07
a certain depth in a lake where it's very popular to get scuba certified.
21:11
Someone stuck a big statue of Jason Vorhees at the bottom of the lake.
21:17
Oh god, no, no, no, no, that's awesome. Yeah,
21:25
So like, how many, how many? What kind of certification do
21:27
you have, Trey, I've got. I'm a master diver. Oh so
21:33
you've done like the deep dark, nighttime dives and all that. Yes,
21:37
we only thing I will never do again is cave diving. Oh you've done
21:42
that? That is I I have, Like I am claustrophobic. That is
21:48
that is my biggest phobia. And I did cave dive and it was in
21:52
Florida. It was spring water. But part of this cave, like you
21:57
you just we were on a rope and you had to like basically pull yourself
22:00
through. And you're talking about there's no light one way or the other.
22:03
That is the one time and although you're not, it's not even wide enough
22:10
for you to get turned around the fact that you don't, you don't really
22:15
you lose track of where you're you know, going where you came from.
22:19
It. I started, you know, hyperventilating and going through my oxygen,
22:22
and I turn around and think like there there's no way around it, Like
22:27
I will snortle, I will stay at the top. I might need to
22:30
go down a few feet and swim with a couple of fishes or something and
22:33
poke around in a hole here and there. But I'm not doing a cave
22:37
dive. I'm not doing a cave dive. If I have to pull myself
22:38
on a rope, I'm not going in any room or I can't see anything
22:42
that you Hell no, And also, by the way, trade that doesn't
22:48
make you a master diver, that makes you, h what's the turn?
22:51
I just I just looked up Nightmare Certified. That's true. I could,
22:57
like you want to talk about I actually giving me anxiety. I watched one
23:02
of the documentary or the movies they made about the Thailand the soccer team,
23:06
the Good I saw that, Yes, the one with Vigo Mortensen, and
23:08
yes, all right, you want to talk about I can't even fathom how
23:14
those guys. Absolutely not. I'd have to the closest thing. If I
23:18
was the only person nearby with like a paraffins and a snorkel tube, I
23:22
would not have gone in there. All I would have been able to do
23:25
is to possibly send a laminated note card on the rope. Yeah, on
23:32
the rope saying sorry, you're you're just gonna can die. At least you
23:37
say you're in my thoughts and prayers. That right there, that seems to
23:41
help all horrible situations, doesn't it, thoughts and prayers. I'll just send
23:45
that on the on the laminated card. Just send a little hammer and chizzle
23:48
just to drill your way out. That's right. And the hammer's name thoughts
23:52
and the chiles name prayers. You're listening to the treehouse. Visit us online

hundred. His website Rodney Anderson dot com. Can you walk us through a
24:27
couple of the benefits of a cash out refinance for someone to get out of
24:32
debt? Yeah? Number one day, and credit card companies are raising people's
24:36
rates every time. The Federal reserved US and the average interest right down our
24:40
credit cards over twenty four percent. But we've seen people recently that have credit
24:44
cards rates up to thirty five percent. You can never get ahead with those
24:48
hyper rays are rates because you can't walk into your boss and say, give
24:52
me a thirty percent raise this year to offset your credit card debt. So
24:56
credit card debt is really a big thing right now. And we've seen to
25:00
pull him out of our pocket all the time, and it just hey,
25:03
let's keep pulling him out, Let's keep adding balances, and we're just making
25:06
the minimum payments. And then dan also medical debt. I want to talk
25:10
about this. We had a gentleman the other day that's doing a cash out
25:12
right now because he said he got a redneck manicure our pedicare excuse me,
25:17
redneck pedicare. He was out mowing his yard and cut three toes off.
25:21
Oh god, and guess what they had to remove the other ones as well.
25:25
So think about the medical bills, the loss of work. You know,
25:27
it's not funny whatsoever, but people are dealing with meal debt all the
25:32
time. He's the one that said that, so we kind of laughed about
25:34
it. But those are things that really get into people's way. So if
25:37
it's student loan debt, payments are starting October first, don't mess around with
25:42
that stuff. So you've got student loans, medical debt, credit card debt,
25:45
consolidation loan debt. We see a lot of people paying off auto loans
25:49
because the payments are so expensive. So pick up the phone and give us
25:52
a call. Let's talk about a cash out refinance and the reasons why you're
25:57
looking at getting in improving your finances. Last thing, dann credit scores.
26:03
When you have credit card debt, you have lower credit scores, and within
26:07
thirty days of paying off that debt, you'll see a huge increase in your
26:11
score. Do yourself a favor instead of the redneck pedicure, give Rodney Anderson
26:17

27:18
Angela Chase Hi. So the other thing I was going to throw at your
27:22
real quick real estate wise is because there's another thread in your, as you
27:29
said, brief real estate career. But it was very It was a very
27:33
impactful one because you got to work with someone who's well respected in the real
27:40
estate industry but has also widely feared amongst the general public. That is doing
27:47
something wrong. That is that is true. But we're talking about Becky Oliver,
27:52
who used to be the investigative reporter at Fox four for many, many,
27:56
many many years, and she did such a good job of it that
28:00
she's still instill's fear wherever she goes unless you know her. And like Angela,
28:07
you were saying, oh my god, before we got started that you
28:11
say, she's just just a sweet old gal. She is just like heart
28:15
of gold. I love her so much, like so so much. Actually
28:19
went on a ski trip with her in February. She has a condo and
28:23
Copper Mountain and she was like, do you want to come? And I
28:27
mean, but she's just she raised six children, so I mean, she's
28:30
just got this like total mama bear instinct. She's just the kindest, you
28:36
know, she's very religious and so she's just like you know, everything that
28:40
she really like, she's like the true Christian. You know, she's like
28:42
a good, good, good as gold person. I love her so much.
28:48
It's amazing because we spent so many years watching everything that she did on
28:53
Fox Four. Because you're right, I mean, if you weren't doing anything
28:56
wrong, you had nothing to worry about, right, however, she was
29:02
so good at it. And when you only see one side of a person,
29:07
I actually have seen Becky Oliver in person handful of times. None of
29:14
them were in bad situations. I think one was at a radio station lobby,
29:18
and that kind of made sense because she was there promoting something. But
29:22
I also saw her once at ihop, and many years ago I saw her
29:30
at iehop and then I thought, what's wrong with this ihop? Even though,
29:34
like you were saying, she was not on duty, she was with
29:37
her family, There was nothing wrong. She seemed to be enjoying herself.
29:41
But I happened to be sitting kind of facing her, and I'm like,
29:45
is she about to pop up with a camera crew? Like who's in trouble?
29:49
And then another time I saw her at a grocery store, same thing.
29:52
I was like, Okay, someone about to get in trouble. What's
29:55
going on? Please? Just don't let it be me? What have I
29:59
done any thing that could remotely be construed as bad? You know, she
30:04
she has so much energy. It's insane to me that she could raise the
30:07
kids and work full time and then she's still running around doing her hands and
30:11
you know she is she or at least at the time. I'm sure she
30:14
probably still is now. But in the we'll give her, We'll give them
30:18
a plug if I can't. I don't know, but she's with Briggs Freeman
30:21
and in the Lakewood office at least I don't know about like for the whole
30:22
like DFW area. But she she is number one in sales I mean,
30:26
and she she will bend over backwards to advocate for people. I mean,
30:32
she just she is amazing. You shouldn't be afraid of her. You should
30:36
go up to her and be like, hey, I'm friends, I'm sorry.
30:40
Remember I ran in her I at a restaurant years ago, and I
30:45
there are very few things that strike fear and to me, but she did
30:48
it. I was like, we've made a lot of jokes about her.
30:51
This is where I die. Yeah, I kind of the good news is
30:57
though. The good news is, though, is I like I could.
31:00
I don't know why I'd feel weird going up to Becky Oliver going like hey,
31:03
Becky um, but if I did see her, I would be very
31:07
tempted to say hi. And the good news is now I could say,
31:11
you know, you know, the guy that made all those jokes totally dead.
31:14
Now, wasn't he not my fault? I was an unwitting accomplice.
31:18
It was funny at the time, but no, that was the other guy.
31:21
And angel Angelo to answer your question, one of the like we used
31:22
to laugh or like, you know, they keep her in the basement at
31:26
Fox four, in a cage and they just, you know, kind of
31:27
taze her, and then when sweet as Sweets get there, they just get
31:30
her more and more agitated than sweet start. They just open up the cage
31:34
and she is unleashed. I bet she would laugh at that. She's had
31:38
a good sense of humor. She whever, she's still scary. Only if
31:44
you're doing something wrong. But if you are the wronged one, who better
31:49
to have in your corner? Absolutely no, I'm with you, Yeah,
31:52
and honestly, try really and I think Angela is right. It's like,
31:56
only if you were doing something wrong would you fall under the the microscope of
32:00
Becky Oliver. And if you were, if you somehow are able to trap
32:05
Becky Oliver and keep her in a cage in the basement of a TV studio,
32:07
you know she's going to gnaw through those bars and come get you,
32:13
and all you've done, she'll find a way out without gnawing. She is
32:16
one of the sharpest people I know. You hear that tray she's made of
32:22
knives exactly? She probably is. She's God have tucked away somewhere. I
32:29
will say this though, if I was to not use any actual personal friends
32:34
in a real estate transaction, I would have Becky Oliver on my side because
32:37
I think she'll she'll absolutely terrify the other agent into whatever I want. I
32:43
mean, and she just is so supportive, Like the things that I have
32:45
seen her do for her clients is just above and beyond, and I don't
32:50
want to say what they are because I don't want people being like, oh
32:52
cool, I'll just get my real estate agent to do that, because I
32:54
feel like she does get taken advantage of because I think she you know,
32:58
she has this like you know, she's blustery, and she's tall, and
33:01
you know she's like you know when she's got charisma, like you know,
33:05
when she's in a room, and um, so I think that she's like
33:08
she's such a teddy bear on the inside. She's so soft on the inside.
33:12
And I well, I was like I was saying too earlier. Really,
33:15
the best way to describe her is like my great Pyrenees puppy. Seriously,
33:19
she's tall, long legs. She just wants you to love her.
33:22
She peers down at you and is like looking at you like, oh,
33:25
look at how cute, Like like my great Pyrenees looks at my little dog
33:29
like she thinks it's so cute. Becky thinks everybody's so cute because she's taller
33:32
than everyone. You know. She's just so nice. Though. Does does
33:37
she also lean up against you the way a pyrenees does? Sometimes? Sometimes
33:42
she does? Absolutely she does. No, we got a long grade.
33:45
I felt really really lucky to have her as my mentor, and they did
33:50
Paris up because we were we were media. But she was just cool.
33:52
Great, Yeah, I'm glad up. Put a smile on my face.
33:58
If you if you needed her realtor, I mean, yeah, Becky,
34:00
especially like if you want to you're buying a house and you wanted in Asia,
34:04
because when comes down to negotiation, you just strap a camera on her
34:07
and send her in there and go. So you don't want to switch to
34:09
fix the shower pad? Why not? It's right? What are you hiding?
34:15
For sure? Someone So she's someone that was able to tap into her
34:21
talents. Right, she was able to tap into her talent and excel in
34:24
you know, television, also excel in real estate and her kids schools.
34:30
I mean, she's just incredible. They earn it or did she just send
34:32
a strongly worded video. I think they earned it. I think they earned
34:38
it. Well good, I'm glad for her and those kids. But the
34:43
the we like to deal more in stupid around here. So, um,
34:47
what's the opposite of a talent is something that you're something you're terrible at,
34:52
But then there's an additional twist on there that I've recognized recently, you know,
34:57
from myself and my wife, and that is an unwanted talent. And
35:00
an unwanted talent is something that you're good at but you wish you weren't.
35:06
So I'll give you I'll give you two really good examples of unwanted talents that
35:10
I have. I wished I didn't the first one and this is the most
35:15
important one by far. I am extremely talented in forgetting almost everything my wife
35:21
says, and it makes it makes navigating a relationship difficult at times. I'm
35:25
not gonna lie. And well, here's the other thing. I know.
35:30
The old joke is oh selective memory, mendo listen to their wives, blah
35:35
blah blah. No that that that's not the case. I listen. I
35:37
do listen, I just don't remember it, which still at the end of
35:44
the day, it makes it seem like you're not listening. But I swear
35:45
I do listen. I just I'm really, I'm really forgetful o things.
35:52
Yes, I forget stuff I've done and said. So it's so that's why
35:55
I try to lean on and telling Tea. It's like, it's not just
35:59
you. I forget stuff I say as well, but my other unwanted talent.
36:04
And this is when I recognized, years and years and years ago,
36:07
I really really wish I was not so good at walking through spiderwebs. I
36:14
cannot, I really cannot embellish to you how many times I have been walking
36:21
single file in line, third, fourth, fifth person back and I'm the
36:25
one that walks through the spiderweb. I still remember one time at Lake Louisville.
36:30
This was on the Lake Dallas side, behind Barflies. It was behind
36:37
Barflies, and it was with the owner of Barflies at the time, Jeremy,
36:40
and there was like four or five of us who were going out.
36:45
I think to Jeremy's boat, and Jeremy was a tall guy. He was
36:49
in front of me. I think Raj was there. He's also a tall
36:52
guy, He's like six ft one. I was third behind them. So
36:55
I'm behind two over six foot tall men, and I'm the one whose face
37:00
finds the spiderweb in the marina. Maybe there's no way to look cool when
37:06
you walk through a spiderweb. I would just call that chivalry. You're just
37:09
making sure you get it for everyone else. There were no women behind me.
37:15
Hey, these days, it doesn't matter. There were no romantic interests
37:21
behind me. I want to see you start pulling the chair out forage.
37:25
Yeah, nice, help him with his coat. You know what, as
37:31
long as as long as I'm guaranteed not to go face first into a spider
37:35
web, I would actually consider it. But it is it is kind of
37:37
a freakish thing. If like there was times in you know, in our
37:40
like getting out of their car in the garage, terror would like, I'll
37:45
do the chivalrous thing and have her walk in front of me going the door
37:47
first. She goes in the door first, I go through second. I'm
37:51
the one with a face full of cobweb. So do you have the same
37:54
fear of spiders as you do heights? No, I don't have. I
37:59
don't have a real fear of spiders. I don't. I don't want them
38:01
crawling on me or anything. But I think that's normal. But I wouldn't
38:06
say I'm phobic about them, right. But it's funny. That's my wife.
38:10
You want to know her unwanted talent. Yes, seeing old men peeing?
38:21
And where has this happened? Well, uh, pretty much anytime we've
38:27
ever gone camping. Uh. You know, we've never gone anywhere like super
38:30
remote camping. It's usually been more of a glamping scenario. But if there's
38:34
a guy who's sneak enough to go to go take a leak in the woods,
38:37
she'll see it. And it's not like she's looking for it. It
38:39
just happens more recently though, Uh, Trey will know this. There's a
38:45
where we live, down on the beach. There's a couple of bars down
38:49
there on the beach, I know, shocker, and one of them has
38:52
really nice bathrooms. The other one does not, And you don't want to
38:55
use their porta potti. So what do most guys do? They go off,
39:00
walk a little bit to the tree line, and then they or between
39:02
a couple of Toyota tacomas and they'll take a leak on the edge of the
39:07
beach. I hardly ever see that. My wife though, as soon as
39:10
she gets one foot out of the car, there's a guy pan. Maybe
39:15
it's like magnetic polls. It's like, as a dude, there's just some
39:19
sort of innate sense that you just know it's like, oh, north to
39:22
north, I gotta go the other way, whereas you know, could be
39:25
like a north to south situation with your wife and random urinating men. The
39:30
good news is, for the most part, their backs are usually toured.
39:35
Yeah, yeah, that is definitely the upside. I think it's better.
39:38
She knows the body language though, she's got it down. She knows he
39:42
knows, he knows the stance and all of it. So she's got like
39:45
a good reaction time on it. It's just like a millisecond for her to
39:49
see it, whereas for some other unsuspecting female it might take some time.
39:54
Yeah. So like I don't know, I don't know about you, Angela,
39:58
but if you were to see a guy in the stance from behind,
40:00
you know, going number one, it might take you a second one to
40:04
be like, am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? And number two
40:08
is that guy really doing that in public? Oh? My god, what's
40:12
wrong? So it may take you a little bit longer. Her, she
40:15
has it immediately. She just knows she's eliminated the first part. She doesn't
40:17
have to go, am I seeing what I'm seeing like? She's just like,
40:20
I'm seeing that, So she can just get straight to the meat of
40:22
the situation. Yeah, she is such a skilled veteran at it now.
40:25
She knows it immediately. Well, that could come in handy one day.
40:30
You know, you never know as you get old, that as I get
40:36
old, and she knows that I have a hard time holding it because my
40:37
prostates the size of a baseball. SE's we get out of the car.
40:42
She SE's a guy taking a leak. She's like, when you when you
40:44
need to go later, let's go over there. That's apparently the outdoor bathroom.
40:50
Oh, I know, I'm kind of putting you on the spot,
40:52
but I'm curious, Trey or Angela any unwanted talents. I think I've got
40:57
one for Trey, but I'll see if if if you have one for yourself
41:00
at some point. Uh, making up stupid songs from my dog. Oh,
41:09
my husband does that. It's really sweet when you listening to your dog.
41:14
You can't bring that up and not share. Huh. Yeah, No,
41:19
I mean my last one. It's just because the Barbie movie and all
41:22
the promos. You know, it's you know, the Barbie song, Come
41:24
on, Barbie, Let's go party. That's the song I sing to my
41:28
dog. I say, come on, Daisy, let's go potty. Okay,
41:32
so mine is please tell me tail that is no fight. That is
41:42
the song that I sing to my dog. But it had nothing to do
41:44
with the Barbie movie. But I say, she's a baby girl in her
41:46
baby world because she you know, her house is kind of small and she's
41:50
so big, and she's just you know, it's baby world, baby world,
41:53
baby girl. I think, I think both of you. What you
41:57
need to do now is when you take when you take your dogs outside,
42:00
which by the way, could be the next casting for the dog version of
42:02
Twins, a Great Pyrenees and a three pound Daisy Chihuahua. You actually need
42:07
to play on your phone full blast Akwa's Barbie Girl. Yeah, except that
42:13
poor Daisy will be terrified of Lexey because Lexie will do the Becky Oliver on
42:16
her. She'll just like stoop over her, like you're so few, and
42:20
it's just, you know, we all over for poor Daisy. Actually,
42:22
if anything, Daisy is not afraid of big dogs, big dogs at all.
42:25
It's actually other small dogs she's far more cautious with. Okay, so
42:30
she maybe does need to meet Lexi because I feel like Lexi's self esteem is
42:36
really hurting because she's like nobody wants to be her friend and she's the sweetest
42:39
dog in the whole world. Yeah that is Oh, that's terrible. It
42:45
is. Well, I take her to the White Rock Dog Park, but
42:46
it's been it's been close for some renovations, so she's been a little lonely.
42:52
How many renovations as a dog park, deed, isn't it just some
42:53
grass of fence and some like little uh, you know, poopy stations.
42:58
I think you're putting some agility of men in there. Real Wow, Yeah,
43:02
it's pretty cool. So I don't know, we'll find out on the
43:06
first because it's open or it's closed to the end of the month. Do
43:09
you think it'll actually open on time? I hope so I really hope so,
43:15
because I have to walk her, and it's much easier to just sit
43:19
under a shade tree than it is to walk a dog that weighs eighty pounds
43:22
and wants to befriend everyone. Yeah, I think with Trey, I think
43:25
all he has to do is just hang Daisy over the balcony and just kind
43:29
of give a gentle squeek her little pause, just kind of run in motion.
43:36
I would imagine like getting Daisy to go number one, you just hold
43:38
her over the like the edge of the balcony railing train, and it's just
43:42
like like just give it like a little squeeze of a kitchen. See.
43:49
I wish that would work, as though. What. Yeah, she does
43:52
not like fake grass for some reason. And of course when it's raining and
43:55
there's like fake grass in my little apartment building under some covered areas, which
44:00
would be really handy if she would ever use it when it's raining, but
44:04
of course she will have none of it. And of course she didn't like
44:07
getting wett either. She looks at me like, let's hurry the f up,
44:13
get the umbrella, let's go. So Angela, any any possible unwanted
44:17
talents and with you well, I'm really good at being brutally honest. I
44:24
guess it's a talent that you wish you didn't have, like because it gotten
44:31
you in trouble where you said something You're like, oh, I should not
44:34
have said that. My entire life, Dan, my entire life. I
44:37
feel like I am just constantly doing some sort of a wako shame. And
44:40
then the worst part is it that all say something that I think is funny,
44:45
and then particularly like in twenty twenty three, because see I'm like even
44:52
afraid to tell you the story, but you know how certain words when we
44:55
were kids, it was okay to use those words, and now it's not.
44:59
It's it's yes, So like I'll say something and not that I'm so
45:02
socially unaware that I know, I don't know which words are off limits,
45:07
although sometimes I'm like, wait, wait, what's like did you did you
45:10
know that algebra is racist? Now? Apparently algebra is racist. I'm like,
45:15
I'm like, it's math, Like I don't. Yeah, it's very
45:19
confusing to me. So anyway, I just feel like we live in a
45:22
very PC world now, So I just I feel like I'm constantly inserting my
45:27
foot into my mouth but when I'm by myself, I think it's fun.
45:31
Just let all the racist stuff fly. No, not racist, but like
45:37
like math, I am studying for the GRA so I'm doing a lot of
45:40
a lot of algebra. So that's practicing a lot of racism right now.
45:44
Yeah, if that's what it is, that's the equation right there, turns
45:47
up at Agareean's theorem was started at at a cross burning something like that.
45:52
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah they were, they were trying to figure
45:53
out the hypoth noose of something. But no, watch, somebody's gonna take
45:58
like that sound clip and then all of a sudden, it's going to be
46:00
like just just that one thing I said, it is going to be turned
46:02
into something completely different. But people like I'll say something that I think is
46:07
kind of funny, and then people are will think it's mean. So I'm
46:12
like I was, and then and then but it's like I feel bad.
46:15
I'm like, oh, okay, well I'm sorry. But then a lot
46:16
of times people don't want accept your apology. Is it because you you can't
46:20
control yourself and you just keep you like throwing out midget jokes in front of
46:24
little people. No, it's not even that extreme, Dan, It's not
46:29
even that extreme. Okay, it's just like no, I can't um honestly,
46:38
Yeah, how uncomfortable you are is is all the effect I need?
46:44
Yeah? Yeah, clear clearly being an told was new to you. If
46:47
you need any advice, let me know, because that was my number one
46:51
of my hidden talents is just being an awl, yeah said. The thing
46:53
is Tray? Is that that one's not hidden? Yeah? No, it's
46:57
not hidden, And I'm not really ashamed of it. It's just you're not
47:00
but I was yeah, yeah, no, you're yeah, no with you.
47:04
To me, your unwanted talent, Tray is just good old fashioned staying
47:07
single. Oh yeah, being alone. Yes, that's you're You're like,
47:14
you're like the forever alone meme personified. He's got Daisy. I'll always have
47:20
a love of daisy. You know. I remember years ago, I mean
47:24
like ten years ago or more like like driving my car like uptown and like
47:30
I just see this guy in this little Chihuahua and I look and I'm like,
47:34
oh, it's Tray and Daisy. It was like the sweetest thing,
47:37
and it was nice. Tray would like come to the studio whenever he had
47:40
Daisy. So that I could see her look at that tongue is not little.
47:46
She's like the Gene Simmons, but sweeter, way sweeter. You know.
47:52
Jean Simmons, he like ran me into an easel one time. He
47:57
is of the rudest celebrities I've ever met. He was the rudest. He
48:01
was at the American Idol finales when he was a judge, and like,
48:07
We're all in the media room and like people are taking pictures and the fake
48:12
Ace freely was stopping to take pictures with people, and so I'm like looking
48:15
around and it's all these pop people and so I'm like, oh, I
48:16
know who the real rock star is. I know I know which one to
48:20
get like the good picture with. And so Gene comes through and I was
48:23
like hi, and I'm like trying to keep up with him, and He's
48:27
got his heels on. So I'm looking way up here and I'm like,
48:30
Hi, can I get a picture with you? And I've got my phone
48:32
up everything, and he's like and I was like huh, and He's like
48:37
sure, and I was like, oh, okay, and I'm expecting him
48:40
to stop, and he doesn't. He just keeps going. And so I'm
48:43
like, oh okay, so I'm like trying to get this picture. Meanwhile,
48:45
everybody from like all forty stations and their assistance, you know that we're
48:51
helping. Everybody's in there, and there's an easel that's got like a poster
48:54
on it, and he just runs me right into it. It was the
48:59
most embarrassing thing. And then the guy from the station, Sammy, that
49:02
had come with us, he was just like, oh my god, Angela,
49:06
I was so embarrassed for you. I was like, thanks, Sammy,
49:08
I need to go get drunk now. Like it was just all It
49:13
would have been nicer if he said, are you okay, but instead he
49:15
immediately just does I'm embarrassed for you. This isn't oh yeah yeah. But
49:21
like Gene Simmons just kept dumb walking, just kept unfortunately. I'm not I'm
49:28
not that surprised. It's like whenever someone I hear someone talk about an unfortunate
49:31
you know, running with a celebrity, I'm I'm not surprised anymore. Um.
49:35
The weird thing though, to me about Gene Simmons is how he put
49:40
himself on this pedestal bragging about how many women he had slept with and and
49:45
and then just basically making it seem like he was God's gift to women until
49:51
the day that it it got leaked, that sex tape of him with someone
49:57
and all all that stuff on a pedestal. The luster of him being just
50:01
some fantastic rock star swordsman with the ladies all went out the window because you
50:07
basically saw him and in this video and it was such a letdown. I
50:13
felt bad not only for the girl. I felt bad. I felt bad
50:16
for the bed, I felt bad for the camera. I felt bad for
50:21
the guests, like the front desk person had to check them into that hotel.
50:24
Well, I mean, what was it that was so bad? It's
50:28
about seven seconds, oh, basically about about the length of one of Kisses
50:35
intros on their songs. So Jean doesn't rock and roll all night, no
50:38
no, no, but he can hit the post. Visit us online at

Treehouse OnAir dot com. Eight three three Cook DFWS the phone number you're going
51:04
to need to call Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration for your free roof inspection.
51:07
You want to make sure your roof survived the last torment is ready for the
51:10
next one. Give our guys a cook DFW Roofing and Restoration a call.
51:14
Let's get Daniel Cook in here, and Daniel, I'm curious if a homeowners
51:17
out there, they had some damage to the roof, they had the insurance
51:21
come out, an insurance sent them a nice big check for twenty five thousand
51:23
dollars, but they've decided now, ooh, maybe I can shop this around
51:28
and try to get some estimates, see if I can find someone willing to
51:30
do the job for twenty and pocket five Grants had a good idea. Hey,
51:34
Dan, Hey, no, it's not at all because a lot of
51:36
times people will get that first check and they start thinking, well, I'm
51:39
sure I can get this done cheaper, and what happens is like everything in
51:43
life. You know, if you got a check from your health insurance provider
51:46
to get a back operation for fifty thousand, and you found another doctor that
51:50
was going to do it for thirty I don't know if I let that doctor
51:52
do my back operation. And that's the same thing in your house too.
51:57
When you're dealing with an expensive item much your house, it's worth four or
52:00
five six hundred thousand dollars, and your roof sometimes could be worth thirty or
52:05
forty thousand, and you find another roofing company that says, yeah, we'll
52:07
do it for twenty five. There's some red flags there, Dan. They're
52:10
not going to put a quality product on your house for twenty five thousand dollars.
52:15
That's not going to happen. You think, if it does, everybody
52:17
out there would be doing it. And that's just not how you do it.
52:21
So the quality products, quality craftsmanship, you know, workmanship, warranties
52:25
that are going to be there long after the trucks pulling away from your curb.
52:30
We don't do tell light warranties. And I know there's a lot of
52:31
companies out there that do telllight warranties. Dan, do you know what a
52:35
tail light warranty is? I do not. Once you see the tail lights
52:38
leave the neighborhood, your warranty is gone, sir. So that's the biggest
52:42
difference is we have a store that you can walk into, you can come
52:45
see us. We're going to stand behind our products, our workmanship, our
52:49
name. Everything is going to be there for you because we want you to
52:52
have a long term success with your roof, not just something fly by night
52:57
just save you money. Yeah, and then lesson in there. Don't cut
53:00
corners, especially when it comes to doing things that are on your house.

53:31
it's hot as hell outside. I'm wondering. Has anyone called you guys
53:36
yet to complain about their pipes melting? No, but I did have a
53:39
woman call me last week. She's from California. She's a transplant. I
53:44
don't know what's happening. All of a sudden, my upstairs bathroom sink is
53:47
overflowing and nobody even uses it. I'm let me stop you. It's probably
53:52
hotter here right now than it is normally. I don't know. I've never
53:55
lived in California. Over the course of a summer, and for most people,
54:00
when you start seeing a sync overflowing that you never use it, it's
54:04
typically because your ac condensate drainline has gotten stopped up, and it's just it
54:07
probably dumps into that vanity drainline. And that's exactly what was going on at
54:12
her house. Oh, I just don't understand how you could know that.
54:15
I'm like, well, you know, one, It's happened at my house
54:17
too. You know, after a while, you can only come up with
54:21
so many new problems and plumbing, but we try to make the necessary adjustments
54:24
and not predict your issues, but to be smart about them so I can
54:30
send you the right technician with the right materials. You know, if you've
54:32
got a water heater in the attic and it's time to replace it, we're
54:36
only booking those first thing in the morning because it gets hotter in the attic
54:39
as the day goes on, and I have to take care of my guys
54:42
too, so I'm not gonna respectfully book anybody's water heater replacement in the attic
54:46
at three thirty in the afternoon, when it's reading one hundred and forty two
54:50
degrees in the attic. It's not good for you if my guy falls through
54:52
the rafters and you know, lands on the first floor because he's passed out
54:55
due to heat exhaustion. So you just gotta plan for the worst. And
55:00
what do the Marines say? Planned for the best and prepare for the worst.
55:05
That's what they say. I thought it was adapt and overcome. Yeah,
55:07
that too. Whatever, simplify whatever. Two one four three six eight

55:16
eight. Jacqueline and Brooks Plumbing will take care of not only you, but
55:20
also the guys are to come out and fix your stuff, which is also

For any and all of your plumbing once and needs. Give our friends
55:57
at Brooks Plumbing a call. The website Rooks Plumbing Texas dot com It's been
56:04
a lot of fun catching up with Euangel. It's been been far too long,
56:07
it has been, but I'm glad to do it at at you know,
56:14
at some point, because I know that it gets weird when when you're
56:16
in radio for so many years it becomes your life and everything. I think
56:21
this is true for most people's jobs. It's like most of their you know,
56:23
life kind of revolves around their work if they're really committed to it.
56:27
You know, Yeah, and you're in radio and you lasted more than two
56:30
seconds, you were absolutely because it'll it'll, it'll find the herd real fast,
56:35
whether or not you want to be there doing it. Yeah, and
56:40
uh so. It's it's interesting when you're no longer doing radio, all of
56:45
a sudden, the people that you don't talk to anymore who were still in
56:50
radio, because sometimes you start to think, like do I have the plague
56:52
or something? Why don't they talk And then you realize, oh, it's
56:55
nothing to do with me. It's just because you know they're a holes and
57:00
they probably really weren't your friend in the first place. If you know,
57:04
if things, if if situations change, and all of a sudden you don't
57:07
ever hear from from people anymore, or they're just so busy doing the jobs
57:13
of eighteen people that they don't have time to communicate with anybody that they don't
57:16
work with. And that is the flip side and the differences. Those people
57:21
still find time to contact you, even though they're doing the jobs of eighteen
57:27
freaking people. Know that. And and once you're let go, you're you're
57:31
an unfortunate reminder of the reality of the business, which is, you know,
57:36
for people that are still in it, you're you're so disposable. Oh
57:39
you are. That's something to keep in mind, especially you know, with
57:43
with our situations trade. It's like, you know, uh, when we
57:46
were at CBS, the show was still doing really well in the ratings,
57:51
and uh, we still go all got let go. Yeah, so it's
57:53
sort of like, if it can happen to us, it can happen to
57:57
you. Um. And then at The Eagle, it was a somewhat similar
58:00
situation. The show was doing really well until outside forces started, you know,
58:07
acting upon it. Um, you know, having the show cut in
58:10
half, having you know, basketball cutting into our limited showtime affected our ratings,
58:19
and um, and the and the craft cut all around you. I
58:23
didn't say that I did. I liked the guy from DC who did night
58:37
I got a snort out of tray that made the day work. See,
58:44
I'm so out of it. I don't even know who that is. Like
58:45
I I actually had a clinger. His name was Clinger. Yeah, So
58:52
I just I stopped listening to well after, so did everyone else. So
58:58
I was listening to you earlier podcast when you were talking It's true, Angela,
59:04
don't mind him, he's just craping up. No. You mentioned a
59:07
certain program director in one of the podcasts that I listened to to prep for
59:12
this that was the one who let me go. And um, let's just
59:16
say I enjoyed hearing the story about the stolen burritos. Yeah, I just
59:29
I don't know when I would see people get laid off. It was just
59:30
kind of like, okay, is there is there gonna be a round three?
59:34
It's kind of it's like boxing, you know, It's like, okay,
59:36
you're gonna be up for another round. And I think after my last
59:39
like gig where I made a lot of money, well I shouldn't say a
59:43
lot of it. I made a lot of money relative to every other radio
59:45
job I had, and the amount of work that I had to do relative
59:50
to the amount of work that he had done the past for less money.
59:53
But my last good like you know, gig, you know, I mean,
59:59
it wasn't anything personal. It was it was something that I can't discuss
1:00:01
here um, but it was just like, I was just like, I
1:00:05
don't have the energy to try to start all over again at fifteen dollars an
1:00:08
hour, working two hours a week. I mean, it's just not worth
1:00:13
it too manymore So, I was just like, you know, I kind
1:00:15
of want to leave on my own accord and just at least have that that
1:00:19
bit of control I can at least say that, you know, yeah,
1:00:22
And then and and I think that that's I think that's great. And it's
1:00:24
not like and unfortunately your situation, our situation is not entirely unique. I
1:00:30
mean almost exactly what you said was something that Jagger said when when his time
1:00:37
came up and his and his card got punched at iHeartRadio, and it was
1:00:43
a similar thing. He was like, you know what, I'm hanging up
1:00:45
the headphones. I don't have the energy for this anymore. I'm tired of
1:00:46
it. I'm it's like and you get it. And then Trey you're also
1:00:50
right, Um, the people that are still there doing it, they don't
1:00:53
want to see you or think about you, because it is a reminder thinking
1:00:57
that, my god, if they let that person go, you know,
1:01:00
and they're good at what they Yeah, and the flip side is someone who
1:01:05
is actually really good at what they do, like you said, Angela,
1:01:08
you know, being you know, not just asked, but being commanded to
1:01:13
do the jobs of multiple people and care whereas so many others don't. It's
1:01:19
it is. It's taxing, to say the least. I'm pretty sure I
1:01:23
got laid off from one of my jobs for asking for a raise. Oh.
1:01:29
I don't doubt that at all. Yeah. Yeah, but oh well,
1:01:34
how dare you? Oh? I know, And every time they'd be
1:01:37
like, hey, do you want to do this, and I'd be like,
1:01:38
sure, am I going to get more money? They were like,
1:01:39
well, this is an opportunity. I was like, well, I've been
1:01:43
doing this for ten years now, so I'd really rather just have the money,
1:01:46
less opportunities and more money. Yeah, that works for me. Yeah.
1:01:52
At that point, I think I would have responded, you're right,
1:01:53
it is an opportunity for you to pay me more money. Yeah. Oh,
1:01:57
and I don't want to be paid in tickets either, because I've been
1:01:59
to every show at least five times, so I really just want the money,
1:02:01
just want the money. That would be great, although now concert tickets
1:02:06
are so expensive. If I were given permission to be able to sell said
1:02:09
tickets, that might be better than the money, honestly. And that's the
1:02:14
reason why so many people have really popped out of radio, because they were
1:02:17
paid so little. They got in trouble for selling those tickets to people.
1:02:22
Do you remember my best friend in radio whenever I first started out and did
1:02:27
promotions, you were half of Yes, I remember Erica, of course,
1:02:31
I remember you guy. You guys went everywhere together. We were Angierica.
1:02:36
That was my MySpace name, half of Agierica. How many times did y'all
1:02:40
get laid off? Just the two? Just the two for the two format
1:02:49
flips. Okay, see, I've been laid I was laid off three times,
1:02:52
but one of them was like doing traffic, like from a traffic network,
1:02:55
and you know, those things were always getting bought and sold and going
1:02:58
out of business. So but they asked me come back, So that's good.
1:03:04
But you know, uh, so you know I worked at Carold and
1:03:10
my husband's aunt started Restaurant Week. She was a sales rep at Carold and
1:03:15
she was when who started Restaurant Week in Dallas. And yes, did she
1:03:20
have to start that because they didn't pay her enough so she had to go
1:03:22
to restaurants for plug Ola to be able to eat. Well, she did.
1:03:25
She did sales. So she has a very lovely home on Swiss Avenue.
1:03:30
So no, she she did just fine. Yeah, she's fabulous.
1:03:32
I love her. But she actually she and some of the other people that
1:03:37
have retired from Carold they did a reunion. It was a CAROLDI reunion and
1:03:43
they had it at El Phoenix down or up No Victory Park, El Phoenix
1:03:46
and running out this whole room and I mean, you know that station has
1:03:50
been around for like ninety years or whatever, so it was like, I
1:03:53
mean tons and tons and tons of people. I mean there were over one
1:03:57
hundred people there. It was really really cool. So maybe somebody should end
1:04:00
up doing an Eagle reunion. I think she locked up really bad. Station
1:04:08
has been around forever it has and it's probably because they have better technical ability
1:04:15
than we do. See that that's what happens when you have just enough money
