Episode 23 - Dan's Been Spending Time With Strange Men Who Own Boats · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:25
Welcome into the treehouse. I'm down Malley, joined of course by Alfie Coy
0:31
Tree Trendholme and very very very special, not just guess, but the longest
0:36
running member of this show in this treehouse, the rock and Roll attorney Ever
0:41
Newton. Yeah, oh thanks, you are welcome, sir. So I'm
0:55
a little distracted this this uh, this go around, not because of anything
1:00
terrible going on, but it is something that you know. I know that
1:06
at least three of you, or at least two of you can can relate
1:08
to um. And I'm talking to you Trey, and to you Everett.
1:17
UM, not so much Alfie, because I've been picking up diarrhea like all
1:21
week. I'm sorry, Why what'd you eat? What'd you do? Where
1:30
you been pooping? Dan? Not pooping a close hamper? No one didn't
1:36
pooping a close hamper? Did you poop outside the close hamper? Okay?
1:40
I should have I should have been more specific. I've been picking up doggy
1:42
diarrhea all week. Okay, that's my fault. I didn't specify. You
1:47
chuckle head just assumed it was me. I'm sorry, and me and I
1:51
was pooping all over the house. Believe me, I would not be telling
1:53
you you should be drunk right now. I don't know. I am not
2:00
drunk right now. And ever, Yeah, I mean, if if something
2:02
bad like that did happen and I got sick and I was, you know,
2:07
crapping all over the house, then yeah, I'd clean that up.
2:09
There's no way I'm gonna ask my wife to do it, although it would
2:13
be fair if I asked the dogs to do it. Would she do it
2:17
if you asked her? I think if I think if she knew that if
2:23
I was really really ill, she might or at least call somebody or at
2:30
least pick it up yourself. Just didn't feel like it. I think tera
2:37
would at least put a diaper on you yours. So just tickled with yourself,
2:43
aren't you? Trey? You just got Yeah, you got you got
2:47
you got it? You got it in your head. Me on the bed
2:50
with my knees up to my ears. Yeah, I wasn't going that far.
2:57
I just had an image. Dan, do you like an extra powder
3:06
on your bum bum when you've done a poopy? Please don't feed into this.
3:13
Trade's gonna turn you know, there's gonna be color in Trey's skin if
3:17
you keep this up. You didn't answer the question do you like extra powder
3:21
on your bum? Bum? I'm gonna I'm gonna take a really long road
3:25
to answer that question. You know how how poor of a memory I have?
3:30
Right? No, I forgot. No, that's my thing. Your
3:37
thing is to remember things and throw them back in my face. You're our
3:40
girlfriend, Alfie. God, who have you been dating? Trade? Jesus
3:46
Man, that sounds like a traumatic response. Oh yeah, No, Trey's
3:52
had that holster for at least two decades. God damn. Uh So.
3:59
I unfortunately have random memories that swim around the back of my brain that I
4:03
have no control over whether or not I actually remember them. Just it just
4:09
is. And unfortunately, there are some memories I have as a very small
4:14
child of being, you know, cleaned up in that fashion and at the
4:23
time, yes, I did like a lot of the powder. Do you
4:28
really have memories of being an infant to where you're still wearing a diaper?
4:32
Well, I don't think it was a diaper. I think it was more
4:34
like toddler or something. And I guess I was having accidents or something.
4:39
I don't know, But you're still wearing a diaper that I don't remember.
4:44
Okay. My earliest memory, I think was when I was two or three.
4:47
I remember like a big blizzard or like a snowstorm or something like that
4:50
that happened right around the time that my little sister was born. But it's
4:58
all fuzzy, hazy, you know, just kind of stuff. But you
5:01
having enough concrete memory of you and a diaper and enjoying extra baby powder on
5:09
your bum boom when you made a poopy, is it's good you should you
5:14
should talk to your neurologist about that. Well, first of all, I
5:18
got to find a new one because last guy I quit, hopefully unrelated to
5:23
my involvement. But again, I don't know if that was when I was,
5:27
you know, diaper age. I just remember, I just remember,
5:30
you know, the post act of whatever whatever happened, and I remember,
5:34
you know, knees up in them powder and stuff. So I don't know
5:39
how old I was, But like you, I actually my earliest memory was
5:43
kind of fuzzy and it felt more like a dream until one time I told
5:46
my dad about it, and I told him I was like, I think
5:47
this actually happened, And it was me getting my very first dog, my
5:53
very first dog, little Docks and and I told my dad one time.
5:57
I was like, this is what I remember. And he's like, oh
6:00
my god, you actually remember that, because he of course didn't remember it.
6:02
He was like thirty one years old, and he's like, yeah,
6:04
that's exactly what happened. And it wasn't a dream. I kind of thought
6:08
maybe it was a dream and I was just kind of conflating it or something,
6:12
but no, he said that was actually it. So anyway, after
6:15
you made all these poopies around your house because you weren't wearing your diapee,
6:20
Okay, this is really getting out of control. Number One, again,
6:24
I did not poop around the house, and number two, I don't wear
6:27
a diapee. That's why this poop all around the house. Well, I
6:30
really just kicked that door wide open for you, didn't I sorry, you've
6:40
been cleaning up your diarrheas? How do you clean up diarrhea? By the
6:43
way, oh han, the exact phrase you that you used was I've been
6:46
picking up diarrhea. How do you do that? Isn't diaria paper towels?
6:53
Okay, so you've been stopping it up. Yeah I didn't want to go
6:57
that graphic, but yeah, stopping up diarrhea, okay, because I figured
7:00
I had an image of you trying to collect diarrhea with your bare hands and
7:03
it's just liquidly slipping through your fingers. Like, can I carry all this
7:08
diarrhea? Oh God, that just sounds no, that would. I definitely
7:12
know. My whole thing is I probably use too many paper towels because I
7:15
really don't want it on my fingers. Oh, there's no such thing as
7:18
that. There's no such thing as too many paper towels when it comes to
7:20
cleaning up a gross ass mess. M. That's exactly what it's been now
7:28
with a little bit of you know context here, Joel, are our old
7:33
dog who's at least fifteen years old that we did not expect to even make
7:38
it this far. He has, and he was he was sick, you
7:43
know, for a number of days. And it was one of those you
7:47
go to bed at night and you wake up the next day and you just
7:51
kind of walk around the house and count how many, how many, how
7:56
many boot puddles there are, and then you just get all the rolls of
8:00
paper towels and get on your knees and start start wiping. That was gonna
8:05
be My first question is which dog was it, Because if it's the Chihuahua,
8:07
I'm not gonna feel that sorry for you. But Joeli, yeah it's
8:09
a big dog. Yeah, when it's a when it's sixty pound dog pooping
8:13
everywhere, and it's like, yeah, it's it's it's gonna leave a bit
8:16
of a mess and in the middle of a trail. I never fancied you
8:26
a sopper man. I always one of you, Bore is a scoop and
8:31
dab man. Scoop and dab, you know, I think it's I think
8:37
the strategy I use is whatever is you know best for the moment, you
8:41
know, whatever the situation calls for. Well, but sometimes you need to
8:46
sort of it can choose depending upon the situation. Yes, yeah, I
8:52
mean something something's fine sometimes but other times you need to scoop and dab.
9:03
Now I'm not exactly sure what I've been doing because I just I've just been
9:07
soaking it up in a paper towel and kind of wiping it. Was like,
9:09
the dabbing doesn't seem like it would make sense on the floor because then
9:13
you're just kind of just pushing at it. It's not just dabbing, Dan,
9:18
it's scooping, dab scoop and dab guy? Well, to me,
9:20
which you cannot scoop? To me, scooping sounds difficult on hard flooring,
9:28
it's not. You just need the proper tools. All right, I'm going
9:33
to regret this. What tool would you recommend for scooping into dbbing? Everett
9:37
scoop? Yah, he walked into that one. I told you I was
9:45
going to regret that question. A scoop idiot. I love you, Everett
10:01
speaking of dogs and uh and Everett Newton our rock and rolled attorney, criminal
10:09
defense attorney. The website still Dallas attorney dot com. It is so if
10:16
you decide to break the law, then you can call you know, Everett
10:20
and Darren and they'll they'll they'll represent you. Would you Everett have taken this
10:26
case? Trent? Remember this was in Colorado? I think it was last
10:31
week. You've done you've done duys before, right like as an attorney.
10:39
You haven't done them yourself, but you've represented people who've been accused of the
10:41
uys. So would you have taken this case? A twenty eight year old
10:48
guy in Colorado got pulled over on suspicion of DUI at the last minute,
10:54
he decided to switch places with his dog, who was in the passenger seat.
11:03
Okay, I like that, You're not immediately kicking this case to the
11:07
curb. The deputy witnessed the maneuver as he approached the vehicle. The man
11:11
told the deputy he was not driving the car. And then, and I
11:18
guess he felt like the deputy was onto him. He gets out of He
11:20
gets out of the vehicle and tries to make a run for it. He
11:22
got about twenty yards away before being caught and arrested. Now, I'm sorry,
11:26
go ahead. It doesn't seem like the weirdest thing is that he tried
11:31
to blame it on the dog, but the fact that there were actually two
11:35
sober people in the back of the car that you know he could have attempted
11:39
this with, but instead he went with the dog. Did it so absolutely,
11:45
under no circumstances take that case. You don't think soever, You don't
11:48
think it adds just the slightest shadow of a doubt, Like, Hey,
11:54
do you want to know why I wouldn't take that case? Why not?
11:58
I am not licensed to like this law in Colorado. Now he's got you,
12:07
alfhie. But what if it was Texas, and what if they had
12:13
charged the dog? Would you defend the dog? You know, I've I
12:18
have very little experience in canine court, but you know, I guess it
12:26
depends on what sort of payment arrangements we could come up with, your honor,
12:31
who's a good boy. My client is a good boy. Clearly I
12:39
have a dog trying to rob Jack in the box. Ought to pay the
12:43
legal bills the Dan defense, which is well, your honor, this dog
12:52
has clearly been traumatized by the fact that Dan is not a scooping dad man.
13:00
This is not my dog. I'm not the one that got pulled over,
13:01
and then I'm blamed it on the dog. This is somebody else,
13:03
entirely in a totally different state. It's not unlike you, though, Dan,
13:07
because didn't you it is. I would not blame the dog in that
13:11
situation. You blame anyone else other than you when it comes to any sort
13:13
of traffic incidents or any roadway accidents, like that time that you backed into
13:20
a jeep and blamed it on some other nebulous, non existent as far as
13:26
I know, bus or tour bus or something like that. Yeah, it
13:30
was a Safari cab. He tried backing up. I backed up to avoid
13:33
him backing into me. And when I backed up a jeep that was turning
13:39
onto the road to my left perpendicular to me, I ran into. It
13:45
was this Safari cab there when the police showed up, of course not I
13:50
wonder why, because they knew they were in trouble okay, or they knew
13:56
they had nothing to worry about, and they just left and left the guilt
14:00
your party at the scene. That's it. They're like, Wow, what
14:03
an idiot they take off on their suffire. I really hate that we all
14:07
learned a dogpile from such an early age. I wonder where are we learned
14:11
that from? So And also not even in all seriousness ever, but I
14:18
am I am curious that is that the case where the guy gets accused,
14:22
where the guy tries to blame the dui on the dog, is that one.
14:26
Let's say it happened in Texas. Is that Acacia that you'd be all
14:28
over or would you just be like no, get out, No, no,
14:33
I mean I would I would take it because in reality, the police
14:37
have to be able to wheel the driver, they have to be able to
14:39
identify who it was that was driving and you know there's a chance that could
14:45
have been the dog. Hey, you might have to fancy and if the
14:50
guy had money to pay you, Oh yeah, yeah, that would certainly
14:54
help. Do you think do you think in that scenario is there I don't
15:07
know. I just lost my train of thought. I just started thinking again
15:09
about again. I just started thinking again about the guy with the dog and
15:11
just you know, switching places and pushing the dog into the driver's seat and
15:15
trying to act as normal as possible. Yeah. I mean I've had clients
15:18
who've done the old switch ald with the front seat passenger, but the passenger
15:22
has always been human. Does that make it easier? Yeah? Yeah,
15:28
it does it? Does you know trying to suggest that a dog was driving
15:31
is you know, a little bit more of an uphill battle, but not
15:35
impossible. That's what I was I was trying to express just a minute ago,
15:39
was with this case intrigue you just because it's something you've probably never dealt
15:43
with before. You're like, you know, you've been an attorney for many,
15:46
many years. Maybe you're holding out to take only the interesting cases.
15:50
Well yeah, and I mean that's part of what makes criminal defense fun is
15:54
the factual patterns behind whatever it is brings people to see me because I mean
16:00
there's just all kinds of craziness that you just you know, how the hell
16:03
did you get into this? I mean, how could this possibly happen?
16:10
You're right, because every case is there's certainly a story behind it. Yes,
16:15
and it's also gone on the fun side, knowing that you're the you're
16:19
the you're the attorney, you're not the one being accused of anything. Yeah,
16:23
that's always nice, man, I'm glad that's not happened to me.
16:29
I usually try to tell my clients that too. I'm like, wow,
16:32
it doesn't always really doesn't know as much as as much as you can tell
16:38
them what if it had been a cat? What I represent person had had
16:52
it been a cat? Yeah, I don't know. I'm so right down.
17:00
You go ahead, Everett. Oh well, you know absolutely. I
17:04
uh but anything out of outside of the mammalian world, I would have to
17:11
defer to a reptilian attorney. Assuming it's a reptile. I mean, if
17:17
it's an amphibian, you know, that would be a horse of a different
17:19
color. Oh God, I don't want to laugh at that pun. But
17:27
it's real hard isn't it. It's real hard. Does anyone else feel like
17:33
we've devolved? You're listening to the Treehouse visitors online, a Treehouse on air
17:42
dot com. Let's welcome now into the Treehouse. Rodney Anderson his phone number
18:02
nine seven two fifty two hundred, his website Rodney Anderson dot com. Obviously,
18:07
summer is almost here. It's a big season for moving. So I'm
18:11
wondering if someone finds a house that they want, what's the first thing they
18:15
should do? Well? Number one, you have to be preapproved up front.
18:18
Sellers want to know are you for real? And the big thing is
18:22
right now is can you qualify for the house that you're buying without selling yours
18:26
because most sellers are not accepting contingent offers right now, meaning that they won't
18:33
wait for you to sell your house they want and to offer without you doing
18:37
that. So the first step is getting pre approved. Number two, knowing
18:41
what you can afford. Is this payment going to be affordable? How much
18:45
money am I going to need? And Dan, we're seeing a lot of
18:48
relocations right now. This is a huge time of year, and so we
18:52
tell people, let's get you pre approved up front. Out shopping today,
18:56
and therefore you're a bulletproof situation when it comes to the seller. And what's
19:02
the fastest that you can close one of those new purchases right now? Yeah,
19:06
by federal law, can't close for eight days. But right now,
19:08
Dan, we're closing our purchases in eight to ten days, and we're doing
19:11
it every single day, which gives a buyer advantage if the if the house
19:17
is vacant, I mean, if somebody wants to a seller wants to move
19:19
quickly, we can do just that for the buyer. So if you see
19:23
smoke somewhere in DFW, it's not necessarily a house fire, just because Rodney
19:27
and his team are doing things so quickly, their hair is on fire.
19:30
So it's actually a good sign. So give him a call. Nine seven

20:40
you, gentlemen, Um, is it okay to tell another guy, Hey,
20:45
you smell good? Yeah? Just stay yeah, Alpha, you're right
20:57
on top of that trey. Seems a little uncertain, and I think Everett's
21:03
still processing. Is it a friend or I mean just someone walking past you
21:07
on the street. I wouldn't do it to a complete stranger. If it
21:11
was like if it was any one of you, Like if I walked in
21:15
the treehouse here and I was just like, oh, man, trade,
21:18
hey, you smell really good. You get like a new cologne or you
21:21
know something, I'd have no problem with that, but someone that's more of
21:23
an acquaintance, so not a stranger, because I would not ask a stranger
21:29
a good friend like one of you guys would, I would have no problem
21:32
asking, but sort of that in between stage, like I know the person,
21:37
but I don't know them so well that I'm comfortable completely asking them,
21:44
you know, what's your scent? But I'm really I'm really curious. I
21:49
think if it's just an acquaintance, they may there's always the risk that they're
21:55
going to misperceive your motive. So if I just say, hey, you
22:03
smell nice, they may see that as I'm hitting on them. Possibly,
22:10
Okay, So maybe it's in how I frame what I say, Like if
22:15
I was to say, hey, what's that cologne you're wearing? It smells
22:21
really familiar, Or there's someone I used to know that smelled like that and
22:26
I've always wondered what it was, something along those lines, or is that's
22:27
still going to be weird? Maybe I'm not hitting on you unless sure I
22:36
want me to, or just go I think my wife would really like that
22:41
sent what are you wearing? Yeah, but then I don't want him thinking
22:45
that I'm trying to set him up with my wife. Well, it's better
22:48
than him thinking you're trying to set him up with you. No, I'd
22:52
rather him think I'm hitting on him as opposed to trying to set him up
22:56
with my wife. I'm much more comfortable with him thinking I'm hitting on him.
23:00
Maybe you could slip in a note, dear stranger, I am not
23:03
hitting on you. I simply must know what smell you're wearing right now,
23:08
But you smell divine, positively intoxicating. Do you have a boat we can
23:17
go back to Now? I'm wondering whether or not I tell everything story or
23:27
just let it sit there. You gotta tell me, what do you mean?
23:30
You can't not tell me? All right? So I guess a handful
23:36
of months ago, Tera and I are sitting at sitting at a bar as
23:40
we do, and there's a gentleman there I'd say mid to late I'd say
23:48
mid sixties or so, so I mean he's he's older than us, and
23:52
we destrick up a conversation. It's your small talk out of bars, kind
23:56
of like what happens. And he tells us he's an artists. He makes
24:03
this jewelry by hand, and so he leaves the bar which, by the
24:07
way, this bar is at a marina. So he leaves, goes to
24:11
his boat and grabs a couple of these pieces of jewelry and brings them back
24:15
for us that he makes like, here, I'll give these two to you,
24:18
guys, please my treat for me to you enjoy. And then a
24:22
little while, a little time goes by, and then at some point he
24:30
seems to think, Hey, maybe they'd like to come see my boat,
24:33
at which point he asked, you one comes him a boat, to which
24:37
we immediately said, hey, bartender, can you close us out? It
24:40
was so nice to meet you, but no, thank you. At the
24:47
end of the story, yeah, are you sure? Well, I haven't
24:55
seen him since, and unless he's floating by my house and with a pair
25:00
of binoculars, that's so far. The end of the story is we talked
25:03
to a guy. We thought he was just being nice, and then we
25:06
got the feeling he was hitting on us. How did he smell actually nice?
25:14
Honestly, he didn't smell like a guy who lived on a boat by
25:17
himself. I'm just thinking I'd like this story so much more if the ending,
25:23
if the beginning of the ending was I said, yes, I'd love
25:27
to see your boat. No, no, no, thank you. I've
25:33
I've seen enough boats. I am curious about seeing boats from the inside.
25:37
But I didn't feel like that was the right situation. Have you seen his
25:41
boat? What type of boat would it have been? Let's start there.
25:47
I have no idea, Everett, I didn't. I didn't see it.
25:49
I don't want to presume to think about what kind of boat I think he
25:52
would have. You can think of a catamaran. Well, I mean,
25:59
is that the one with the floaties, the floaty things. That's a pontoon.
26:03
Okay, well, technically that's it's all boats. No, some boats
26:07
are just buoyant, but I'm talking about the floaty like the floaty tubes,
26:12
trainers. What I'm talking about. It's a pontoon. Yeah, yeah,
26:17
which one turns you want? The catamaran is similar to that. Yeah,
26:18
it's got the it's a it's a two holes. Basically, there's a catamaran.
26:26
Did you find it sexier, Dan, the catamaran because it's got more
26:29
syllables? I don't. I don't. I don't have a preference sounds more
26:33
exotic. I was just curious to ask, is it weird to tell a
26:38
guy, hey, you smell good, or to say, hey, what
26:44
is what is that scent that you're wearing. I'm curious because I have been
26:45
curious about that with a couple of guys I've been around, Like, I'm
26:48
kind of curious, but I don't want to make them feel weird, and
26:52
I don't want to feel weird, So I figured I'll just make it awkward
26:53
in here for all of us, and I wanted to get your input.
26:56
Just do it. You made the association. I like how you made the
27:00
association between telling men wondering if it's okay to tell other men that they smell
27:07
good, and suddenly you went from that to the to the catamaran invitation.
27:15
I didn't do that. Ty did that. That was Trey. Oh good
27:18
job, Tray. So so connection, what's the connection? Trey brought it
27:33
up? You ask him to me. There's no connection. He said something
27:36
that either we wanted to explain or didn't. And you you said you wanted
27:38
to know. So I told you I'm with ever, there's a connection here.
27:41
You wouldn't have brought up to the boat guy smelled good if there wasn't
27:45
something I didn't And honestly, I didn't know what he smelled like because I
27:48
wasn't that close to him. I said what I said, just you know,
27:49
for the sake of the story, have you run one at a time.
27:55
Gentlemen, let's not forget we also started this with you know, talking
27:59
to about you know, Dan getting extra a baby powder on his bum bump,
28:02
so you know he might have been feeling frisky as well. I was
28:04
a toddler. Thank you planning this for decades. I think it's very important
28:11
that we all make and agreed to the rule that we keep things within context
28:15
for one another and by one another. I mean me. So you were
28:22
feeling frisky and your bum bum was smelling good, and then you want to
28:26
go tell another guy that he smelled good? Were you looking for a compliment
28:30
in return? No, the compliment should be genuine. Maybe you did smell
28:36
good. I don't know. I didn't ask Dan to answer your initial question.
28:41
There's nothing weird about asking somebody what they're wearing, what sort of smell
28:45
or cologne or perfume or whatever. If you like it, you like it
28:48
to say, hey, sorry for the weird question, what are you wearing?
28:52
Cool? Thanks? I'll google it. Appreciate you that's it. That's
28:55
as far as it needs to go. The real question here is have you
29:00
met with Boatman again? No? I have not have not seen him since
29:06
that night. That was this morning, one and done. I bet he
29:15
used He probably felt like that that I, you know, not okay.
29:26
So I need to be careful because I had like two different phrases in my
29:30
mind that we're both going to come back and bite me, and I don't
29:32
want to say them. But basically, I bet he was disappointed that he
29:34
gave us jewelry and we didn't give him anything in return. Usually, working
29:41
about that, I forgot that part of the story. Did he gave you
29:48
jewelry? M hmm, yeah, I remember that the beads punchline, but
29:55
Terry clearly still does. I thought that was just a funny punchline. He
30:00
actually gave you jewelry, Wasn't he just like, Hey, you guys want
30:03
to see what I'm doing. No, what he said is that he's a
30:08
he's an artist and he makes jewels. He makes, you know, a
30:11
hand design jewelry, and he gave you some of this sounds like you're indebted
30:18
to him some. I'm not saying you gotta you gotta open up the damn
30:22
portal to him. But you know, you don't want to be indebted to
30:27
this man, So buy him a couple of beers and say thanks for the
30:30
jewelry. That way you don't feel obligated to go back to his boat.
30:36
We absolutely did buy him a drink to say thank you for the to say
30:40
thank you for the jewelry, so that way we didn't feel indebted, and
30:42
also so that way we wouldn't feel like there's there's some sort of open loop
30:48
where we owe him something. Oh, you know, you're likely to run
30:52
into him again. Oklahoma is not that big of a steak. No,
31:00
it's it's not, but it's not very dense population wise. I just like
31:11
to go into him once before go to Trey. I mean, I just
31:18
find it funny that it seems to be universal. You know, you give
31:21
someone jewelry, they give you a beer in return, you just feel like
31:25
you got screwed. That's one of the phrases I was trying to avoid saying
31:29
earlier, because in this case he didn't. But what kind of jewelry?
31:37
Artist jewelry? It was actually a pirate glass. Pirate glass glass that they
31:47
found from you know, pirate ships or privateering ships that have you know,
31:52
washed onto shore over the over the centuries. So he gave you a piece
31:57
of glass, that's what it is. It's like a Heineken bottle. It's
32:01
just, oh, no, this is pirate glass, and I come back
32:04
to my boat and shut up. Honestly, That's one of the things I
32:07
always think when someone shows me a green a green piece of broken glass on
32:12
the beach and it looks kind of old because it's weathered, and then they
32:15
say, look if I'm pirate glass, Like, man, that's that's that's
32:17
I's a Heineken bottle from from right over there. But I mean it wasn't
32:23
like a brooch or a necklace or anything like that. Fashion didn't you know,
32:29
I don't know. No, it actually was. It was. It
32:31
was. It was sort of almost a triangle shape piece of what he said
32:35
was pirate glass um on a necklace with a sterling design around it. It
32:43
looks like you're wearing it now, No, are you what's underneath your shirt?
32:49
Or do you have that button button? It's the different necklace. That's
32:52
that's the other one he gave you. No, I didn't take no,
32:57
he only gave me one, and that one's in the car, so you
33:00
carry it with you always. It may have it may have been adorned on
33:10
my rearview mirror for a period of time. Is that like the upside down
33:15
pineapple for the swingers thing? You leave it on your car so that way
33:20
he spots you easily in the parking lot, and that's how he knows I'm
33:24
game. Yeah, that's that's like your parking pass to the marina. The
33:28
marina guard knows to let you in because you've got the pirate glass. Pirate
33:31
glass for pirate ass. Just so you know, I'm using the idea promo.
33:45
And you know, you may be right. That may be that may
33:46
be his his sneaky way of claiming people in the marina as his, like
33:52
those are his his people. When you're displaying it prominently from your rear view
33:59
mirror, the thought actually crossed my mind. And that's and that's why I
34:02
took it down. What is it? Is it in your car or is
34:07
it taken down the console? Okay, so it's a little harder a spot.
34:10
Somebody has to me walking into the parking lot to see. I mean,
34:14
is it just like a reminder of opportunity lost. No, it's just
34:21
it's just a necklace that I got from some old guy who said, you
34:23
want to come see my boat? And I said, no, thank you.
34:29
You're feeling anxious. Do you look down in your console and you see
34:31
it and you suddenly feel comfort? No, especially especially now, because I
34:42
look at that necklace and I now think of the two times i've I've told
34:45
you guys about it, and it makes me want to throw it back into
34:49
the ocean. You're going to be like Rose from Titanic, and you want
34:52
to get on a boat and toss it off while Celine Dion sings in the
34:58
background, all the missed opportunity of love Dan on clear nights, Do you
35:05
hold the necklace and stare up at the moon and wonder if he's looking at
35:08
the same moon you are, while knowing that all three of us could fit
35:15
on that boat? Well, I certainly am. Now how did we get
35:27
off of this? Please don't say get off right now? You're listening to
35:36
the Treehouse because it goes online at Treehouse on air dot com. Let's walk
35:59
in into the Treehouse. Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing the website Rooks Plumbing, Texas
36:04
dot Com. Their phone number. What you're gonna need at some point is
36:06
two one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight. That's two one four
36:09
three six eight thirty eight thirty eight. So for this one, JACKL,
36:13
I'm gonna throw a quick curveball at you. See if you can think on
36:15
your feet here, do me a favorite name all of the plumbers on your
36:20
staff. Um, I have Carlos, Pete, Wrangler, Philip Lewis,
36:28
Roy, Oliver, Jose, Javier, Sean, Jerry Laudio, Chewy is
36:35
a nickname, but his name is Chewey and Manuel, and I have a
36:37
favorite story about all of them. Um. Pete rides with Jerry and we
36:42
call them Pete and repeat. And then Wrangler applee name is my resident cowboy.
36:47
He just competed at the the NFR Finals in Las Vegas as a team
36:52
roper. Feel him since he was an infant. Philip, we call him
36:57
Philly Cheesesteak, because why not. And then We've got two wands, big
37:01
one and little one. And so I'm always trying to get the ladies at
37:05
home Depot to differentiate for me which one it is. If we run to
37:07
Home Depot, I'm like the big one. We call him Big Sexy.
37:09
The little one, he's Paquita one. You know, I just I love
37:13
them, and I'm proud of I'm proud of all of them because they work
37:17
so hard and very they're earning their hours. You go in the field and
37:22
you earn your hours as a plumber, and you have to test up.
37:24
You have to be licensed at the state level. So I've seen some of
37:28
them start as apprentices and go up to journeyman, apprentice, tradesmen, journeyman
37:30
master. I had one gentleman out at this Texas State Board testing yesterday.
37:35
So I just love them. I'm their biggest cheerleader for sure. The reason
37:37
why I wanted to ask you that is because I know that myself included that
37:42
if I have that if anyone has a contractor coming into their home, they
37:45
want to make sure that that contractor is safe. And that's why I think
37:49
it's so great to work with a company like Brooks Plumbing that you have.
37:54
I think I counted like fifteen plumbers on your staff. Maybe I missed one
37:59
or two and this was big one, one or two. I feel bad.
38:01
Well, we won't tell him that he's probably new anyway. But the
38:05
important thing is they're all safe. Jacqueline knows all of them, loves all
38:08
of them, and she trusts them to go into your home as well as
38:12
hers mine everyone's. So you have a plumbing issue, give Brooks Plumbing a
38:15
call. Maybe you'll get lucky and you'll get you know, big one and
38:19
little one at the same time. It is two one four three six eight

didn't call you before I called the insurance company like you've told us that
39:14
we should do. But now I'm having an issue with the adjuster. Is
39:16
that something that you can help with. Absolutely. Our first attempt would be
39:22
to try to get the adjuster to come back out with us so we can
39:23
go through it and point out what we find. If that doesn't work,
39:28
then we hire a public adjuster that will do the same thing, but much
39:30
more in depth. And it cost us money. So we're not going to
39:35
hire someone to go out if we don't think you can file a claiming get
39:37

41:07
one asked. But I'm just going to tell you Joel is fine now from
41:12
all the diarrhea problems that he was having before. It's such a weird feeling,
41:15
though, when you go from you know, picking up you know,
41:19
diarrhea every day for almost a week and then and then you get the the
41:25
turnaround pat happens, and then he doesn't poop for almost two whole days,
41:30
and you're like, Okay, we've overcorrected because the medicine he's on has now
41:35
done too good of a job. Or maybe I shouldn't given him a whole
41:38
bowl of kase so to stop him up. But it really is such an
41:43
odd feeling. This is why I figured, you know, Trey and Everett
41:47
being being doggy parents, you'll you'll appreciate whenever the dog is sick, and
41:52
then all especially with diarrhea, and then that first time that they go number
41:55
two and it's solid again. Oh, and you're so happy, good boy,
42:01
good boy, Yeah, beyond elated. You were like, want to
42:05
just roll around in a grass with him. Good job, except there's poop
42:07
in there. But that's how good you feel. It's like, think,
42:09
good job, Yes, you're solid again. I don't know this, joy
42:16
Dan, because I don't own a dog. When when you are celebrating the
42:22
the solid poops, do you grab it and pick it up and hold it
42:25
up to the sun like a lion king or something like that, slid to
42:32
start shouting it so the entire island. Can hear me it's important. Oh,
42:43
I was just gonna say, I think it's important to sort of root
42:45
around in it with a stick test the integrity of it makes sense. Everything's
42:51
okay. Well yeah, I mean on the surface it could look solid,
42:53
but it could be you know, liquid filled. It could be a doggy
43:00
gusher. Is it is not molten dog poop? A dog Claire God.
43:10
Speaking of animals, I'm was curious when we did our road show last month
43:17
at Toady's in Bedford, ever you brought up something that is just kind of
43:22
like up your alley, something completely random, out of left field. Do
43:29
you have any owls yet in your backyard? No? Oh, I'm sorry,
43:36
didn't happen to your owl feeder? No? No, I still have
43:39
the owl house and I've got a camera inside. The only thing that's gone
43:42
in there about a month and a half ago, there was a squirrel that
43:45
went inside for about three and a half seconds. But aside from that,
43:49
there's been no activity. Although we did hear an owl, a screech owl,
43:53
which is what we're looking for in our neighbor's yard, who doesn't even
43:58
have a house an owl house, by the way, So I'm like,
44:01
come on, man, anything you think yeah, do you think maybe it's
44:06
it's just being cautious like he sees it, but he doesn't want to move
44:07
in entirely thinking well, maybe it's a trap. It's not fantastic owl house.
44:14
It's perfectly decked out. Any owl would would love to live there,
44:19
and and you know it's, let's face it, it's it's a place where
44:23
owls get down. You know, they have chicks and you know, offspring,
44:28
and and it's it's great for that. I've made a really nice little
44:31
betting inside the owl house for you know, so they can get busy.
44:37
And yet all owls seem to have forsaken my owl house. Do you think
44:43
that the owls might uh see the wonderful owl house that's there for them and
44:47
think, oh no, that's that's too nice for me. I I that's
44:52
obviously somebody starts to rent for that. Yeah. Yeah, I think some
44:57
of the owls may feel unworthy. So that's why I put up the sign.
45:06
So someone asked, what's the signs? Say? Thank you, Drey,
45:10
you're worthy? Have you have you thought about putting any jewelry in there?
45:20
I'd considered it, but I think Dan's pretty well married to that necklace
45:23
that he's gotten his console. I'd be happy to donate it if do you
45:29
think if it'll produce some owls? All right, I'm gonna duly noted.
45:34
I want that piece of jewelry. I want the pirate glass so I can
45:37
put it inside the owl House and people will be able to see it because
45:39
I can stream it online whether or not it's in there. So the clock
45:45
is ticking Dan, all right, Well, when I when I, when
45:47
I come in July, I will, I will bring you some some of
45:50
that pirate glass and you can dangle it in there and see if it is
45:52
enticing to have some owls. Get in there and get it on for your
45:57
ol porn. So you got mail service in Oklahoma? Right, yes,
46:05
yeah, they have mail here. You could you could send it to me.
46:07
You could send to me today. Well, I gotta wait till July
46:12
because you know your game. You just want to hang on to it as
46:14
long as you possibly can, clinging to it like grim death and hopes that
46:17
I'll forget between that and July, which I won't. But again I say,
46:22
wail it to me. It's mainly because shipping, shipping is kind of
46:25
crazy here. How much would it cost to send it a lot? How
46:30
much? I don't know. See this is just all made up. It's
46:37
gonna be really expensive. How much is it gonna cost? I don't know.
46:38
I don't know. It's tough. Costs more to ship, you know,
46:42
back to the States from here than than than you would expect. I
46:45
think you can do one of those that you go to the post office and
46:46
get one of those boxes that if it fits its ships, it might it
46:50
might work that way. Those things are ten bucks. Dan. In Dan's
46:57
defense, he has another month and a half on the island. What if
47:00
he runs into that guy. I think it's sentimental. I think Dan doesn't
47:05
want to get rid of the necklace because it's it's special to him, represents
47:08
a special night. How awkward would that be? Oh? Sorry, I
47:12
gave your jewelry to an owl. Thank you for having my backtray. You're
47:17
welcome. I think i'll pay shipping. You just tell me what it is.
47:22
I'll ven mo you. Okay. Although I am curious about this everytt
47:28
the owl thing? How did that come about? Is because something happened to
47:30
me recently and I'm wondering if it's an age related thing, like you reach
47:35
a certain age and you start not necessarily bird watching, but noticing birds more
47:42
often than I than I used to. And I thought about you with the
47:45
owls, and I thought, is this sort of like the next step in
47:49
an aging process or maturity is you start looking at birds more and you're like,
47:52
I think I'd like to see more of them. And then next thing
47:54
you know, you have an outfit for you know, bird watching, and
47:58
you've got special you know, bnockillers and whatnot. Yes, increasingly noticing birds
48:04
as part of aging. Well, there's another one that I've noticed. And
48:10
it wasn't because I was curious or I was looking to notice any sort of
48:15
a new bird. This one just made its presence known. So it seems
48:22
that one of our neighbors nearby has I'm assuming it's a bird, has some
48:28
type of new pet. And it's kind of terrifying sounding. So I decided
48:34
i'd send the audio to Alphie for you know, further deep treehouse analysis.
48:38
And so I want you guys to hear this and let me know if you
48:42
know what kind of a animal this could be. Okay, Dan, that's
48:57
a crackhead. What the f was that. I don't know. Again,
49:15
tell me that that thing is like the stuff of nightmares. I mean,
49:17
Alphie said crackhead. I would have said the kraken. This is in your
49:30
neighbor's yard. Yes, I don't know which one, because we're up on
49:35
a hill and you can see you know, ten twelve other houses kind of
49:42
below us, and I know it's coming. I know the general vicinity that
49:45
it's coming from, you know, because audio, you know, bounces off
49:49
of things. But you can kind of get an idea, but you can't
49:52
quite pinpoint it because it's bouncing off of so many objects. But it's outside,
49:59
like that's not inside somebody's house. They've got it, and it's brand
50:01
new. This is brand new to just this past week. So it sounds
