It's FRIIIDAY! #15: Don Kringle · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:24
Congratulations, you have made it to the end of yet another week, and
0:30
thank you for joining us inside the Treehouse. And as our friend and uh
0:36
newly reacquired T shirt printer Chris Cone from the Pirate Printing LLC stated in the
0:42
Treehouse, there is no knock needed. How what's that tray? I said?
0:53
How did we not think of that? I'm I'm a little mad at
0:58
myself. I have I have like a folder on my phone and the note
1:00
section of different things or marketing slogans or just you know whatever. And I'm
1:08
waiting, I did I not think of knock? And he's like, God,
1:11
damn it, Well we got it now. And I already told him
1:15
I'm stealing it. So I think it's okay to steal something. What you
1:18
told some when you're stealing it, does that? Does that? Does that
1:23
work? It seems like a very white thing that you just said. I
1:26
think it works that way with intellectual property, not like with a car.
1:30
Yeah. I was gonna say if you just walked into a bank and I'm
1:32
I'm gonna steal all your money and they're like, oh, you said it.
1:34
Yeah, So no, that's that's a felony. Okay, good,
1:38
I want to if I tell Yeah, Whereas if I tell the T shirt
1:42
guy I'm stealing the slogan you just said, then it's really not a whole
1:47
lot He could probably do about it. Yeah, is it going on the
1:51
shirt? No, it was. It was a post that he did on
1:55
Facebook and I commented underneath it, I'm stealing that. God. Now,
2:00
I'm sure legal experts everywhere would say, first of all, you shouldn't admit
2:04
that. Second of all, you shouldn't refer to it as stealing. And
2:07
then you left a trail admitting to the theft. Yeah. Yeah, I
2:12
got quite a bit of evidence saying that I stole this thing. Well,
2:16
I think if we end up doing a T shirt that says no secret not
2:20
needed, Chris will be fine with it. Yeah. Well, I think
2:24
he will be as long as we use him to print those shirts. If
2:29
we went with somebody else, Yeah, I think if we called Vista Print
2:34
and put that on there, he's gonna come after us. I'm assuming that's
2:37
where the pirate comes into it, with the printing pirate. So yes,
2:43
you have made it. It is Friday inside the treehouse. Time to leave
2:46
your worries outside, join us inside the treehouse. Me Daniel Malley, along
2:52
with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Here we are. It's Friday. I'm
2:57
not as into it as normally am. I'm not feeling good. We are
2:59
on the eve of our Treehouse podcast Chris Wait Treehouse Podcast, roadshow, Christmas
3:07
Party and roast of Me at Shaker Ten's tomorrow afternoon on a Saturday. We've
3:13
we've moved up in the world, gentleman. No more Friday afternoon roadshows for
3:15
us. Oh no, we are doing the Saturday afternoon thing. Yeah,
3:21
I think Dallas. We've become more responsible. Like we were doing the Fridays
3:28
like like right during happy hour, right when people were getting off work,
3:30
so people were showing up, having a good time, going you know,
3:34
home a little tipsy before the sun went down. Yep. And now we're
3:38
doing it like most soccer moms, like in the middle of the afternoon.
3:42
There's kids around, we're near them all. I like it. And we've
3:45
all we've we've all got our sippy cups, which, speaking of which we
3:47
will be selling the Treehouse Podcast steel cup Tumbler's courtesy of our friends at Spoke
3:53
Custom We'll be selling those in person, giving some away as well, and
3:58
taking orders for more should you want some, in addition to some brand new
4:01
Treehouse Podcast t shirts that we will have a limited quantity of tomorrow at shaker
4:10
Tin's four to seven. Pe very excited about that, although it doesn't seem
4:14
like EU, Raj and Trey are as excited about it as I am,
4:16
because you guys are pretty strategic in our group text. If I send something
4:21
and neither one of you responds, like when I said, Hey, I'm
4:26
gonna wear a Christmas sweater at the party, and I got nothing out of
4:30
the two of you, not a word, not a chirt. No.
4:32
Oh, I didn't know we were supposed to respond. I was looking for
4:35
I've been looking for a good one. Oh really, Yeah, yeah,
4:39
I've been doing I just assumed Trey would show up in a grunch outfit.
4:44
Yeah, I've actually I have something special ordered. I just don't know if
4:48
it's gonna get here today. That sounds like a fine excuse I. If
4:56
it does, you will you'll be impressed. Okay, Yeah, I found
5:01
Look. Look, look, I've been looking forward to this for a while
5:03
since, you know, since even right before we announced it, but even
5:06
more so now because I'm in town. Now, I made it in the
5:11
Airbnb and we got the party tomorrow, the roast as well, and I
5:18
guess the two of you are actually going to be festively dressed, and I
5:21
want to make sure that anyone that comes tomorrow you too can do the same.
5:26
It is our Christmas party, after all. When we worked at iHeartRadio
5:29
for years, what was it, it was July twenty ten through It's like
5:35
for twelve years for me and Trey. I don't know if in your tenure
5:42
with us at iHeart, if you if you ever really were subjected to the
5:45
client Christmas parties at IHEARTM No, not a Christmas party, other client events,
5:56
but no. See the CBS parties that we had back in the tho,
6:00
those were Christmas parties, and eventually, as things became more corporate,
6:03
they locked those down a little bit more and eventually it was kind of ho
6:06
hum. I'm sure it had nothing to do at that time that me and
6:12
my fellow promotions guys at kV IL were drinking with Terry King on all the
6:15
drink coupons and drinking twelve year old and fifteen year old Scotch at the Crescent.
6:20
I'm sure. I'm sure that had nothing to do with the clamping down
6:25
of Christmas parties. But at least I had a really really good one under
6:29
the belt before they really started to restrict things. But at iHeart they never
6:34
I don't really recall an actual iHeart Christmas party, like a company Christmas party
6:39
like so many people have at their job. It's like, oh, we're
6:42
gonna have an actual Christmas party and it's fun and everybody lets loose and everyone
6:45
feels awkward and guilty the following Monday. We didn't have that really at iHeart.
6:49
Eventually, it was just like it was a you invite the clients in,
6:53
and it was it was for their enjoyment, their entertainment, and thanking
6:56
them for all the money that they had, you know, paid for our
6:59
services. About the year. Actually the last, the last Christmas party I
7:04
went to, which was really my kind of trude grau with the show.
7:12
I can't remember if that was a client Christmas party or not. I think
7:14
it might have been. Probably was, I don't remember. Well, No,
7:20
it was just that literally that was the night that was when Russ and
7:24
I had our blow up, something that happened right as we were walking in
7:30
and wow, okay, yeah, so lots of drama with those Christmas parties.
7:36
I'm hoping ours is just going to be filled with fun and festivities.
7:41
So if you want to dress up, you know, for the occasion,
7:43
please do. I'm still holding out hope that Raj decides to go as cousin
7:48
Eddie emptying out the chemical toilet, but I'm not sure if that's going to
7:53
happen. I don't think he's still seen the movie. But if you,
7:56
but if anyone else wants to dress up, please do Raj. It is
7:59
literally on TV every day every day, No, I know, I know,
8:03
I was watching. I turned on the TV this morning and Gremlins was
8:07
on, and I was like, oh, I've never seen that either,
8:09
and so I was like, but why watch it now? I made it
8:13
forty some odd years without watching it. When I start now, I'm good.
8:18
I don't know the I don't know the references. It makes me happy
8:20
when I see how happy those references make you guys. So there's my joy.
8:26
I appreciate it because lesser people would say something like I just lesser people
8:31
would would say they don't like seeing other people happy at all. So thank
8:35
you. Yeah. No, when you guys together when you're like, whatever
8:39
the lines are from the movie and you can recite them down. I know
8:41
both of you can verbat them, and I'm pretty sure you guys can go
8:46
through the entire movie and do it. So if I ever wanted to watch
8:48
it, I would just have the two of you reenacted the movie for me.
8:52
I can do that for you. Yes, that's entertainment. That is.
8:56
That's why you forget everything is because your brain is filled with you less
9:00
knowledge, like oh, I know it? Yeah so just And even my
9:05
wife has said that, she's like, you, how was it? You
9:07
know all these other dumb things, but you can't remember the importance of there.
9:11
I don't know. Look, my brain doesn't let me decide what I
9:13
remember and don't remember. Yeah, so uh. The joy that I see
9:18
on y'all on y'all spaces, when you guys crack each other up with references
9:22
you've heard fifty five thousand times makes me happy. So why watch? Why
9:28
spoil it? Why be? Why be part of the group? You know
9:35
what the movie? And what holiday movie? I watched again and first I
9:37
thought I didn't like it, and maybe I was like I was in my
9:41
drinking days. Maybe elf is a crappy movie. Oh oh oh man,
9:48
you and uh you and Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration are cut
9:52
from the same cloth, he says. He says that he judges people if
9:58
they say that's the favorite movie. I don't know. I wouldn't say that
10:03
far. I just it. It's just not a it's predictable. It's just
10:07
not a great movie. Yeah, I don't know what you're expecting from a
10:11
Will Ferrell movie, Like, I don't know. I don't know what kind
10:13
of unpredictability you're expecting out of a Christmas movie? Like did you think that
10:18
eventually that Elf is gonna end up working for the mob? And now,
10:20
granted with James Conna's his dad, it would have been an interesting twist.
10:24
I like it. Yeah, I've been I've been publishing. Yeah, Godfather
10:31
Clause I could, I could, Godfather Christmas? I could? Uh I
10:35
could? I could watched that that would be I mean, unfortunately he's gone,
10:39
but James Gandolfini would have been amazing. Santa Claus as a mob boss.
10:45
We're writing this movie. We are writing this movie. It's gonna be
10:48
out next year. I promise you. We're writing this movie. You have
10:52
to be careful with that because there are lots of diehard Christmas people that get
10:56
their panties in a bunch whenever some type of Christmas movie is twisted into something
11:03
nefarious, like what is the recent movie It's a Wonderful Knife, I think
11:09
is the newest one. Oh. I saw a clip on Fox News and
11:13
they were, of course complaining about how Christmas is supposed to be about joy
11:18
and happiness and how dare someone turned something so pure into a horror slasher film.
11:24
It's like, I mean, the Bible is kind of slasher. Yeah,
11:30
I mean, but it's for different reasons, Like if you were a
11:31
polyester blend, I can stone you to death. But there's that. But
11:37
that's not really a good movie. I know. I still I'm gonna maintain
11:41
that the greatest holiday Christmas movie is The ref That's a good one. I
11:48
did see that. That was a good Denis Leary, that's a good movie.
11:50
I love that movie. And only because you mentioned it. Trey.
11:54
The reference of Kevin Spacey in that movie with his mother and when they're having
12:01
the fight in the living room and he says, next time you feel unappreciated,
12:11
you go up on that cross and I'll nail get to it. And
12:15
that was one of the things I used to tell Russ all the time whenever
12:16
he would say, no, it appreciates anything I do, and I would
12:20
tell him it's like, well, you know what we actually do, appreciate
12:24
you coming off that cross and helping us out. He never knew how to
12:28
take that, because there's he was kind of blocked in either way. It's
12:31
like, well he really was in a rock and heard place with that one,
12:37
that line and Dennis Larry's line when I cannot think of the female lead
12:41
on that, but when she's rattling off all this stuff and he goes,
12:43
what are we girlfriends? You know what? This family needs a mute.
12:52
I was actually thinking at the road show about doing a interactive poll about the
12:56
best Christmas movies, and I was thinking of doing one online, but I
13:00
haven't had time with traveling and everything seeing what the Treehouse uh uh, you
13:05
know, listeners or Treehouse insiders whatever we're calling everybody now what the what the
13:11
official holiday movie of the Treehouse should be. So it's like I was even
13:15
considering, should Elf be in I'm not Elf? Sorry, sorry, Trey?
13:18
Should the ref be in the consideration of that poll for everyone to vote.
13:22
I'm obviously Diehard is in there because I don't care what you say.
13:26
That's a Christmas movie. It is Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation. The ref
13:31
Elf has to be in there because it is a lot of people's favorite and
13:35
it's a newer classic Bad Santa, Bad Santa. Yeah, that's what I
13:41
need to rewatch. It's been a while since I've seen Bad Santa. Yeah.
13:48
I'm still I'm sorry, I'm still stuck on the I'm writing this movie
13:50
in my head. I'm writing the the Mob Christmas Movie. I just gonna
13:56
give you a god Is it god Clause or Godfather Christmas. We'll figure out.
14:01
We'll figure out that. It's a tentative working title. Sure, but
14:05
the slogan is it's gonna give you a present you can't refuse. Solid.
14:11
I like it. I like it. It's just gonna be murdering Mayhem,
14:15
Like, it's gonna be fantastic. There's gonna be there's gonna be deer.
14:18
There's gonna be like rabid Deer's We'll figure it out. Don Kringle, Oh
14:24
there it is. See how this is how it starts. This is beautiful,
14:30
drop the gun, take the candy cane telling you we got to start
14:37
up Treehouse Productions. We already did a blatant rip off of Jaws with jowls
14:41
the Halloween Special. I don't see why we can't do a Godfather Christmas thing.
14:48
We're doing it. I'm gonna I'm gonna start writing it. It's gonna
14:50
be great. Uh. We're gonna incorporate every Mob movie, so like every
14:56
Mob movie ever made, there's gonna be a scene from from those. It's
14:58
gonna to be fantastic. Oh, I've never never been more excited for Christmas
15:03
as a fun too, because like the irishman, de Niro's character, Uh,
15:07
he says, you know, I paint houses, which meant he painted
15:09
houses with the brains and blood of people he killed or he whacked. You
15:13
could you could still do that in the film. But instead what he does
15:16
is he walks behind, he walks up behind unsuspecting carrollers and paints the houses.
15:22
Yeah, there you go. He's like, I'm any sweep and just
15:26
throwing the bodies in the fireplace. Have an l figures. What do I
15:33
look like a clown? I'm a clown anyways. Yeah, this is gonna
15:43
get so much money thrown at us, it's gonna be fantastic. All right,
15:48

18:36
across the street from the Galleria. As Raj has scouted and reported back to
18:40
us, plenty of parking so good also mentioned earlier, we will have a
18:47
merch available, we'll have some a couple of giveaways that we'll be doing,
18:51
and also in addition to the roast that will happen after the taping of the
18:57
show, we will also be participating in Operation Santa for the Warren Center,
19:07
which helps special needs children or sorry, children with special needs. Yeah,
19:11
pree which way it's supposed to go, but you get what I mean.
19:14
So we're asking you to please help us make a great Christmas for those in
19:18
need, in this case, developmentally challenged children. I posted on social media
19:23
if you need some ideas of gifts to bring. They have an Amazon wish
19:29
list that I've posted and you can check that out online or just search for
19:33
the Warren Center and then there are ways on that you can find their Amazon
19:37
wish lists. So I'll give you an idea of the kind of stuff that
19:41
they want for these kiddos for Christmas. Yeah, that was easy. That
19:44
was so I think I saw your think your wife posted it first before I
19:48
saw yours, and I just went on there and I was like, that's
19:51
just so easy, and so I went ahead and knocked out a couple of
19:52
things. So even if you can't make it to the event, you can
19:56
go on the wishless thing. It's not like you have to bring it there.
20:00
You go on the Amazon wish list, order it. It goes directly
20:02
to them. It's really simple. It's really cool. Yeah, and it's
20:06
really reasonably Almost everything there's or everything there was pretty reasonably priced. I think,
20:10
like I said, from ten to thirty dollars, where most of the
20:12
gifts were in between that range. So, uh yeah, very cool.
20:17
I'm excited about that. So I was traveling yesterday, coming to town for
20:23
that road show on Saturday, right and coming from the Islands flying Spirit.
20:33
You usually stop in one of two cities in Florida. One is Miami,
20:37
I'm sorry, one is Fort Lauderdale right next to Miami, and the other
20:41
one less often but still happens on occasion is Orlando, And while at the
20:48
Orlando Airport yesterday, I came this close to witnessing a Florida Man news story.
20:57
This ink and close in the middle of the Orlando Airport, there's like
21:06
a a trium and it has a big Christmas tree in the middle, and
21:10
it's got it's sort of like a like a wheel with spokes that come off
21:15
of it. So in the center wheel, like where the hubcap would be,
21:18
is the area where we were that sort of like the food court area,
21:21
and then the spokes shoot off into the various terminals. Right while we're
21:23
trying to kill a little bit of time, we started walking down one of
21:27
the spokes towards another terminal, and we didn't even make it halfway down that
21:32
hallway before we stopped and said, I have not seen this in person,
21:37
but I've seen it in print and it starts with Florida Man. So we
21:42
turned around. So what I saw was a shirtless man getting into a verbal
21:48
altercation with the handicapped special assistance wheelchair dude. Nice. I mean, the
21:56
only thing missing was the actual action to turn that into a headline. It
22:00
was right there, right there. Yeah, I just already liked the fact
22:06
that you can be shirtless in the Orlando Airport like that, like that old
22:11
like that guy came prepared for the metal detector came. It's like, I
22:15
got nothing on, buddy, and they let him through. That should let
22:18
you know. So here's what I think happened. So for some reason,
22:22
I don't know if it's because if you're in enough fights, you know,
22:23
to remove your shirt so you don't get the the hockey player treatment, you
22:29
know, or they pull it up over your head and then they punch in
22:30
the face a bunch because you can't see anything. Maybe that's why guys take
22:33
off their shirts before they get into a fight. But I think that's what
22:36
happened because when we came across the scene, he was shirtless, but when
22:41
everything calmed down, he was starting to put his shirt back on. So
22:45
I don't know, you're right roight. He may have come in like that
22:48
and then he decided to wait to put his shirt on until he got through
22:52
security or something. I don't know, But when we first saw him,
22:55
he was shirtless and yelling at the wheelchair assistance to do and the wheelchair assistance
23:02
dude was yelling back, and you know who the hero of the day was
23:06
this little old lady not in the wheelchair thing. God because I hadn't made
23:11
it even better. But she also was part of the special Assistance wheelchair team
23:15
at the Orlando Airport, and she basically grabbed the younger fella who was about
23:19
to get into the fight with the shirtless Florida man and dragged him away.
23:22
Okay, I like the in my head, the slogan outside the Florida Orlando
23:27
Airport says, no shirt, no shoes, no problem. But God bless
23:34
the older lady for uh, you know, having a cooler head and getting
23:40
the person away. Like I just don't. I'm I'm glad that that's a
23:45
happy ending for Florida. Like that really, like that's a happy ending of
23:48
the story. I was done, Like I actually told Tera, it's like,
23:52
we need to walk away. This will be a news story tomorrow and
23:55
I'll be reading it. Yeah. But it's just one of those few times
23:59
where I could actually say, just like Brian Williams once did and I was
24:03
there, only you're telling the truth this time, Yeah, I actually be
24:08
factual. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. It seems like that, you
24:14
know, it needs like a pet alligator and a bush light or something you
24:17
know, really to to give it the full essence of Florida bush if it
24:22
makes you feel any better. About half an hour before that, one of
24:26
the handicapped special Assistance wheelchair people was wheeling two older ladies down the terminal and
24:33
I guess he's right handed, so the right the lady on his right wheelchair
24:37
was going really well, and on his left he ran her into the wall.
24:48
That's one of those things where it's like you have to stop and think,
24:51
Okay, do I want to stop and help or is it better to
24:53
pretend I saw nothing. That's when you go up and try to help,
24:57
and the guy's like, no, no, no. The one on the
25:00
left and coach, that's just part of the Florida treatment. She couldn't make
25:07
it to Disneylands, so we're given the roller coaster treatment. It's pretty bad.
25:11
Even Florida Wheelchair Assistance gives rough rides. Anyway, I was this close
25:22
to witnessing a Florida Man news story in the flesh, and I gotta say
25:26
I was a little disappointed. I'm surprised no one called security. I was
25:30
expecting just to see h sheriff's deputies or city police airport Police General security.
25:40
I wanted to see that dude get tased. That would have made my holidays
25:44
perfect. You know, the cops, I mean the shirtless guy. You
25:49
think that's gonna cause them to, you know, put down their coffee and
25:53
come running. Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure he was the airport security.
25:59
They would I didn't realize it was an hr issue that we were witnessing
26:03
in the terminal. He didn't get his holiday bonus. I don't expect anything
26:12
less. Like when when you said when you said bush Light Trey, I
26:17
was like immediately, I was like, that's the official beer of Florida.
26:19
Like when your governor's name is Ron, like I expect everybody in your airport
26:26
to be shirtless. Like when your governor has a bro name, what's up
26:33
Ron? Like, Like, no, is that a bro name? I
26:36
feel like for Florida? Yeah, I feel like a bro name for him
26:38
would just be just DeSantis. Yeah. Well no, I mean like we
26:41
can go by his middle name is Dion. Why is he not going by
26:48
that diantis? Like I'm assuming his full name is Ronald Dion DeSantis. That's
26:52
right. How do you not go by Dion de Santas? You sound immediately
26:56
cool. I know then it won't his face. So you know what,
27:03
you don't let anybody see him. You basically take the entire plot of Eddie
27:06
Murphy's Distinguished Gentleman and you run. You run on the name alone, and
27:10
you never let anyone see him. So you get the you get the quote
27:14
unquote urban democrat vote trick ye into voting for a far right wing white dude.
27:21
Yeah, I like, we got we got too many movies to write,
27:25
so it'd be bush light. But it's just b u s h bush
27:30
Light. I dig it, I dig it. But if a if a
27:34
crappy light beer was to ever become a state, it would be Florida.
27:40
That's what it would be. Florida just does something to people. I mean
27:44
even Bob Iger, who generally respected is really a great CEO. Like this
27:52
week he even, you know, just Florida out and he just said one
27:56
of the dumbest things ever. They were talking about the Marvels. You know,
28:00
it was a big box office bomb and first Disney announced it. I
28:03
mean, it's so bad. They're like, it's at the end of its
28:06
run. We're no longer going to report box office sales. Yeah, but
28:11
then Eiger goes, yeah, one of the problems was we didn't have enough
28:14
executives on set. Didn't you ever see Star Wars, Dickhead. Honestly,
28:21
that's spoken like a true CEO. You know, you know what the answer
28:23
to this company is more executives or this creative enterprise. What we need is
28:37
a building full of suited up, wing tipped MBA turds telling creatives how to
28:45
do what they do, and then we'll just call it. iHeart, I
28:56
want it on the record. I didn't say that. I laugh. You're
29:12
listening to The Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse on air dot com.
29:22
Time now for a fun conversation in the Treehouse with our friend and sponsor Daniel
29:26
Cook from Cook Dfwroofing and Restoration. Give him a call for your free roof
29:29
inspection that number eight three three cook DFW or the website cookdfw dot com.
29:36
So, Daniel, you were telling me there was a fifty nine million dollar
29:40
wedding this last month, and obviously it's been viral and lots of comment Harry
29:48
about spending that much money on a wedding and all the social drama surrounding it.
29:52
So I'm curious as a father yourself, did would you ever consider throwing
29:56
down a six, seven or eight figure wedding? Dan, I don't even
30:04
know where to start. I really don't. I don't think I could throw
30:07
down a five figure wedding. I mean, I don't know. I mean
30:11
when me and Carrie got married, we kind of handled everything ourselves, and
30:15
we really were on a tight budget and we didn't try to waste any money,
30:19
but we wanted to be able to invite our friends and family and have
30:23
a good time. And I think we were just so worried about the cost.
30:27
Just like going to college. It's like, how much money do you
30:30
want to spend on this degree and then not have and then have to pay
30:33
it back? You know. And it's just like not saying weddings aren't important.
30:37
I just feel like, you know, if you're going to be spending
30:40
fifty sixty eight hundred thousand, in this case, fifty nine million dollars in
30:45
a wedding, man, that's a one day event. I mean, I
30:48
just I don't get it. But yeah, I mean I've seen people do
30:49
it, and I know I personally have known friends that have spent one hundred
30:53
thousand dollars on their weddings. Yea, and that's that. I've been to
30:56
a wedding like that where I know it was six figures spent, and you
31:00
know what, my favorite thing at that wedding was the mash potato bar.
31:03
And I guarantee you that mashed potato bar is not what's sent it into six
31:07
figures. No, it's not. I mean, there's some of these women
31:12
when they get married, and I understand it's a umongous deal for you to
31:17
get married. I mean that's a big thing. But I've seen some of
31:19
these dresses that these women are wearing, and they're in they're in, you
31:22
know, just a dress by itself. In some cases it's ten thousand,
31:25
fifteen thousand dollars one pair of shoes that they're gonna wear one nine is fifteen
31:30
hundred dollars. You know, there's some elaborate items that you can start packing
31:34
on the dollars with. At the same time, when you're spending that amount
31:37
of money on a wedding, don't you and I as entrepreneurs, think,
31:41
hmm, how can I get a piece of that pie? For example,
31:45
maybe this family needs a roof inspection, and you don't you don't spend fifty
31:49
nine million dollars on a wedding without getting some stuff for free on occasion.
31:53
Dan, I think that's a hell of a wedding gift right there. Let's
31:56
get let's us go ahead and put this out there. If you are a
31:59
part of the Brockways wedding, you are entitled to a free roof inspection from
32:02
Cook DFW. Is one of your wedding gifts. How about that, folks,
32:07
It pays to be rich. Give Daniel Cook a call at COOKDFW Roofing
32:10
and Restoration eight three three COOKDFW or cookdfw dot com. It's the Treehouse.
32:17
Two one, four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight is the phone number
32:21
four Brooks Plumbing, and you too can talk to Jacqueline just like I do
32:23
each and every week here in the Treehouse, and you can get some of
32:28
that amazing customer service from Jacqueline and her family and all the guys at Brooks
32:32
Plumbing. This time of year, it's the holiday season. I'm curious,
32:35
speaking of your guys and you and your family and the family business, what's
32:38
your favorite part of the holiday season. I would I would like to strap
32:44
a GoPro to my chest and let everybody watch Holidays of my family because we're
32:49
Italian and Grandma and Grandpa like to do one thing and one thing only.
32:52
And apparently that was just reproduced. And so my mom's one of nine kids,
32:55
and everybody's married, and everybody has like five more kids. So it's
32:59
a huge family. And so you know, you've got those little clicks within
33:01
the family. You've got all the cousins that are really close, and you've
33:05
got the siblings that are fighting this quarter of the year and then the next
33:07
quarter next year it'll be completely different. But my family, my favorite thing
33:12
in the world is the recap when the first half of the family exits from
33:15
the family gathering and then the intimate circle of the family sits down and has
33:21
a play by play of everything they heard and saw as a group with the
33:24
whole family. Does your family do that where you sit down and you have
33:28
like a mini meeting about everything that was discussed. No, no, I
33:31
just usually just would would run away and like leave Grand Prairie and run back
33:37
to Dallas and usually go straight to a bar. So, actually, you
33:39
know what, you're right, I guess we did sort of recap it was
33:42
just usually like me and Tara doing our recap over over some vodka or something.
33:45
Yes. And then so being Italian, we do on Christmas Eve the
33:51
Feast of the Seven Fishes. Have you ever heard about that before? I've
33:53
heard of it, but I've never experienced It's that's totally a thing. And
33:59
then my last favorite thing I'll mention is somebody made an Italian version of the
34:05
song Dominic the Donkey and I love it. I'll send it to you in
34:08
a link. It's so cheesy, but it's so on the nose and can't
34:14
be about just Italians at Christmas, and it's my favorite thing in the world.
34:19
I look forward to hearing that, and I look forward to the new
34:22
year with Brooks Plumbing here inside the tree House and you too, if you,
34:29
you know, have family over and they do a number on your pipes
34:32
and you see and they will, then you know the people to call that
34:36
is, of course Brook's Plumbing two one four, three six eight thirty eight
34:38
thirty eight two one four, three six eight thirty eight thirty eight or Brooks
34:42
Plumbing Texas dot com. You're in the tree house, visit us online at
34:50
Treehouseonair dot com. No, it's just really bad stomach pains. Started feeling
35:00
them yesterday, got worse overnight. I've been chugging pepto and chewing gas acts
35:12
just because the part of the pain reminds me of when I ate an entire
35:16
bag of frozen broccoli and the gas pain that was released from eating too much
35:21
broccoli was devastating. Really, yeah, why did you do that? The
35:29
bag of broccoli. Yes, it's basically calorie free. I can eat a
35:32
whole thing. I eat a bunch of broccoli to fill up, and then
35:36
you eat some other protein and then you're good. You got a meal there.
35:38
Yeah, but just horrible, horrible gas, horrible gas. Oh it
35:45
happened. Well, that was one of those times where had it gotten just
35:51
one tick worse, I would have said, take me to the hospital and
35:53
have them like poke a hole in my tummy or something. Hilarious. Okay,
35:58
it's pretty I knew I knew what it was. I knew it.
36:00
I also googled it to make sure, but I knew what it was.
36:04
Yeah, And at a certain point the pain was so bad I didn't care
36:08
what the what what The doctors and the nurses and whoever else would have said
36:13
in the emergency room, was like, I know it's gas, but it's
36:15
bat and hurts like health knock me out or poke a hole in me something
36:20
to let this out. Yeah, I thought I've got kind of a similar
36:25
pain right now, but it comes and goes. I haven't had the sphinx,
36:30
so that's that's good. There was there was one point around four thirty
36:36
this morning. I wasn't real sure, like I thought I may have to
36:39
gotcha. But it's subsided. Yeah, like when I had the parasite when
36:45
I was in in Mumbai, there was no pain. It was just it
36:49
just was a it was just all It was constant release and there was no
36:53
there was no hurting. It was just dehydration and couldn't hold anything down.
36:58
So that that was the only thing. Well, first time I went to
37:00
drink from a bottle of water and I immediately threw that up and I was
37:06
like, okay, we're not going to be able to hold anything down.
37:08
But there was no pain because I just saw you like double over just a
37:10
second ago, and that it's that bad. That's wild is on one side.
37:17
No right now, it's mainly lower. Last night in the middle of
37:22
the night is That's part of the reason I'm so damn tired is because the
37:24
last two nights I've gotten very little sleep. But last night was because of
37:30
the stomach pain, and it was kind of all over. It was kind
37:32
of high up on the right side, middle, right side, down low.
37:37
I'm not pulling on Mike McCarthy. I don't think it's appendicitis because I
37:40
think that's a very localized pain that's actually not It can actually be just to
37:47
one side of your because you're saying it's low and but it's onto one because
37:52
when you doubled over, you doubled over to one side to ease the pain.
37:55
That's because that's the side I've got room. If I go to the
37:58
left, I'll smack my head on my roadcaster. I'm already positioned this way.
38:05
If I go this way, I'm gonna tweak something else that doesn't need
38:07
to be tweaked. I don't know if I don't know if it was because
38:10
of the jerk chicken wrap I ate at the Saint Thomas Airport. Okay,
38:15
you start there, you don't. You don't start with tummy paine. You
38:20
start with a jerk chicken wrap in an airport that's where you like, what
38:22
was what was gas station sushi not available? Like what are you doing?
38:27
Like? What what is happening? I've only eaten gas station sushi once and
38:30
I was but I had the jerk chicken wrap in St. Thomas and I
38:37
felt fine and it and how many hours? How many hours after you ate
38:43
it? Did you start feeling sad, like really bad? Around eight to
38:47
twelve somewhere there solid But then again, I mean we were also killing time
38:52
in the Orlando airport, so I don't know if there was something I got
38:57
there. What did you eat? I gotta think what did you touch?
39:05
Did you touch the shirtless guy? I did not get close enough to the
39:09
Florida man to actually catch Florida man dysentery? Thank god? I mean I
39:16
did drink the water. I don't know if that has anything. I mean,
39:21
I know they say to be careful of that when you go to Mexico,
39:23
but really, you gotta watch that Florida water, and Florida is the
39:27
Mexico of the United States. You can't trust that dirty water. You mean
39:35
the gator piss water. That's exactly right. So yeah, I think that's
39:40
not at that's that's there. That's the reason why if you're wondering there was
39:44
no football show yesterday, it's because because it's because I got like a bad
39:49
dummy babe. I feel so bad way, but I don't know the pediat
39:52
Are you doing any the pickle juice to alleviate the cramping? Uh? Pepto
39:59
gasc slots of water? Okay you might because you with that, there is
40:04
a depletion of sodium, so you might wanna get some pickle juice in you.
40:08
We had some Indian food for lunch, so I think my sodium level
40:14
is solid. Yeah, that's good. What did you what do you where
40:17
you getting your Indian food from? Buddy? Do you our place in Irving?
40:21
Oh? Gotcha? Okay, I know that's on your list of approved
40:23
places. It is very much so, yeah, we love that place.
40:27
Shockingly, we wanted. We decided to go there first before we got barbecue
40:30
while in town, because you know, when you come to Texas, you
40:36
get the Indian food when you come to North Texas. Yes, yes,
40:40
Irving play you know lost Calean this s which is where that place is.
40:45
Yeah, yeah, that's great, okay, good. What did you?
40:47
What did you? What did you? What's your go to are you.
40:51
Are you a chicken Tika massala guy? Is that what I like that?
40:53
No, it's a buffet. We get a little bit of everything. Okay,
40:55
gotcha, because I was just gonna break everybody's heart and let everybody know
40:59
chicken Tika massalas no Indian. So it's Scottish Now. I love the Uh.
41:05
That's why at the london Er they had it on the menu and I
41:07
was always confused. I thought it was just good old fashioned appropriation. It
41:12
is a combination of both. It's a combination of like, how do we
41:15
give everybody a little piece of actual London uh Indian food? So, but
41:21
it's it was developed by an Indian guy and it was originated in Glasgow.
41:24
He just died a couple of months ago, the owner of the founder of
41:28
the creator of Chicken tick Massala. But he was used it for the marinade
41:31
for the tendery chicken and he's like, I have to keep throwing this marinate
41:36
out territory chicken. I love Yes. So it's basically the same marinade and
41:40
then they just add a little heavy cream uh and some other spices to it
41:45
and it becomes the chicken tik masalt. It's why it's it used to be
41:47
like bright red, like tendery chicken, gotcha because of the Yeah, okay,
41:52
good, so you get a little bit of everything, all right?
41:54
You want to do? You know that there is other than you know,
41:59
some electrolytes and and some sodium level type stuff. There is something else that
42:02
will make me feel a little bit better. Birthdays, other people's birthdays make
42:14
it feel better, Okay they do? Yeah, all right, Today is
42:17
of course fred Day December eighth, my god, December eighth, and birthdays
42:23
today. Tanner Buchanan is twenty five. He plays Robbie Keane, Johnny's son
42:31
on Cobra Kai. I'm not sure if you guys have watched that series.
42:37
We started watching it, we haven't finished it. I think part of the
42:39
reason why is at a certain point you're like, are they ever going to
42:44
call the police? Where's their school resource officer? Yeah? It's the greatest
42:51
show. It is the greatest show on television ever. And I'll the Sopranos
42:57
and then and then Cobraka heard dead like dead, I'm gonna go with that,
43:00
and then that seems a bit extreme to me. It's really like,
43:04
wait, wait, what season are you in? Uh? Oh, it's
43:10
the season where there I think we're like one or two episodes before the big
43:16
All Valley Karate tournament. Oh, it's about to get good. It's all
43:22
right. Maybe just because of that, I go back and finish that season.
43:25
Yeah, it's the best show like and it's so brilliantly done. And
43:29
who knew how great of an actor William Zapka really is. He's really really
43:32
talented. And I loved him not only in the movies that he did in
43:36
the eighties because he played a really good jerk, but when he played himself
43:40
on How I Met Your Mother, he was phenomenal in that. Yeah.
43:45
Other birthdays today, let's see here. Nicki Minaj is forty one. Retired
43:52
NFL quarterback Philip Rivers is forty two. He may be retired from football,
43:54
but he's not retired from impregnating his wife. I think they're up to like
43:59
thirty two kids now that really that would actually make just fifteen more children.
44:06
And he has a full dress roster for an NFL team in reality, I
44:13
think he's got eleven right, yeah, yeah, say eleven or twelve,
44:17
so yeah, one more and he's got a full NBA roster. Yeah,
44:22
but that's what I mean, you reforded that luxury when you have that much
44:23
money, when you have I mean, like if you're I don't know if
44:27
it's a religion thing or if it's just a a whatever it is for him,
44:30
I guess he just doesn't believe in in contraception, and he certainly doesn't
44:35
believe in pulling out. Isn't he Mormon? I thought he was. I
44:39
don't know because when he Yeah, yeah, I believe he is. I
44:44
could be wrong, but yeah, he's got the eleven or twelve kids now,
44:49
and that's just that's just you need to leave that lady alone. That
44:52
is enough. No, he's actually he's the other side of the coin when
44:55
it comes to have as many children as possible. He is hardcore Roman Catholic.
45:00
That's what it is. Okay. So that explains why he's a he's
45:01
not using contraception, he's certainly not pulling out. And that explains why nobody's
45:07
ever seen his wife in public. Uh, you can't. She's she's always
45:10
delivering a baby. She's never upright. No, she's not, whether it's
45:16
giving birth or making a new kid, she's never upright. Yeah, and
45:21
it's sad too because look, I understand, you know you're trying. You're
45:23
trying to you know, make more children and you know, proliferate the way
45:28
God said to do to some degree in the Bible. As a Roman Catholic
45:31
that Philip Rivers is. But I think at the end of the day,
45:35
it's because no one showed him videos of how much fun pulling out can be.
45:42
And also that the whole be fruitful thing in the Bible was when the
45:46
earth had nine people, and that's when what you needed people to sustain.
45:51
We have an Indian has proven we have enough people. India hit one point
45:55
four billion. We're like when they littally cheered, they showed it on the
46:00
Indian news, like we beat China. I'm like, is this the race
46:01
we want to win? Not not to the moon, non finding a cure
46:06
for cancer babies, that's what we want to win. Uh and uh and
46:10
and yeah, one point four billion and for the point four Philip Rivers uh
46:15
dead. Uh. So we appreciate him. It's nice of him to contribute.
46:21
He did a small tour of India and the four hundred million kids were
46:24
born. He's his own sacred river. It's like you go back to India
46:34
for a comedy show or a tour. It's just gonna have You're gonna be
46:37
crossing the Philip River. There's the Ganges and then the Philip. Oh God.
46:50
Other birthdays today, Dominic Monahan. He played Charlie on Lost and the
46:52
Hobbit Mehdi in the Lord of the Rings movies. He is forty seven today
46:58
from Slip Knot and Stones Hour, Corey Taylor is fifty and Terry Hatcher turns
47:02
fifty nine today. Wow. Probably my favorite Lois Lane. Okay, interesting,
47:13
I like I liked her. I like I'm a big Erica Durance fan.
47:15
