Episode 43: SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT + Gravity is Not a Tragedy · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:25
You've made it Welcome inside the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley, joined by Trey
0:32
Trenholm and by Raj Charmott and by you don't forget this is the place to
0:44
leave all your worries outside and join us here in the treehouse. And I
0:50
want to make sure that we deliver on a small tas from earlier in the
0:56
week, and that is we have a we have a special announcement on the
1:00
show today. And every time we have an announcement in or on or around
1:07
this show, everyone's buttholes pucker up, and rightfully, sot us have been
1:15
made on this on this show over the last handful of years. I mean,
1:21
oh yeah, yeah, it goes one to two ways. Yeah,
1:26
if this is a if this, if this this show was happening on a
1:29
Saturday afternoon, it would have been a different kind of announcement. Yeah.
1:34
Yeah, we've been haderating from the oh Bits or the crime. It really
1:46
is an interesting thing though, because we've had whenever, whenever I post on
1:49
social media that we have an announcement to make. I am very well,
1:53
first of all, I'm usually pretty intentional with everything that I post. Anyway,
1:59
Yeah, I'm one of those people that I don't think will come as
2:01
a surprise to either one of you. But most of the time, I
2:07
choose my words very carefully, very intentionally. It's for a purpose, right,
2:12
very what's that it's your programming. I'm not a robot tray. Yeah,
2:21
you kind of are. In some instances, I can flip the emotional
2:25
switch, can you on? Feelings? Have they have they have they loaded
2:35
that app into you yet? Like I don't know like that it's still uh,
2:38
it's it's still the Spinney circle on me right now. We gotta get
2:44
the O'Malley three point zero. This one cries real tears, still feels nothing,
2:54
but at least it at least it looks the part. No. As
2:59
you guys know, announcements around here are a little little cringey. And the
3:02
good thing is on occasion they've they've they've actually, you know, sometimes been
3:07
a decent announcement, been a fun announcement, I'd like to say. And
3:09
that's why I choose my words very carefully when I post what kind of an
3:14
announcement it is? Yeah, So earlier this week I posted on Thursday,
3:19
ay special announcement, and someone, of course responded, I think it was
3:23
on Twitter saying, wait a minute, your announcement scare me, and I
3:30
understood it because I'm with you. Sometimes those delivering those announcements are not the
3:36
most comfortable things for me either. But I told him nope, it's when
3:40
I say important announcement is when you need to be worried. Oh gotcha.
3:47
Yeah. If I say it's an important announcement, yeah, then probably be
3:52
worried. Special announcement. Like if the word that comes before announcement sounds like
3:57
a positive word in any other context, you should be fine. If it's
4:00
a fun announcement, a special announcement, an exciting announcement. But if it's
4:05
an important announcement, oh got someone's either dead or going to jail again,
4:15
it's important the key word, because then that way I'll pucker up. Last,
4:17
just when I get a text from you, Hey, you got a
4:19
few minutes to talk? Yeah, I don't read anything into that. All
4:26
that means is can I give you a call? Right? Oh gotcha?
4:29
Okay, it's not like the relationship we need to talk phrase. Now,
4:35
if I actually send you in a text we need to talk, it's going
4:38
to be an important announcement. So just keep that in mind. So again,
4:47
without wanting to draw this out any any further unnecessarily, I think it's
4:53
uh. I think it's high time that that that we do something that it's
4:57
really not going to I don't think really be a shocked to anybody. It's
5:00
not going to come as a huge surprise. Although Raj was very sweet when
5:05
I told him the announcement by seeming surprised, which again it was very sweet.
5:14
And that is we would like to announce here in the Treehouse, very
5:19
excited, a special announcement, not important. Sorry Roger, it's not important,
5:24
but it isn't excited. That's a fun, exciting special announcement. And
5:30
that is that as this show continues to grow in all forms audio, video,
5:36
and god knows where else it may take us, because if there's a
5:40
listener or a subscriber or a viewer to be had, we will kick over
5:45
every rock, we will dig holes whatever it takes to find them. But
5:53
to that end, as the show grows, so must the cast. And
5:58
we could think of no one. We think he's a great fit. I'm
6:04
like, really, no one. Not only is he willing, but he's
6:10
able. We'd like to welcome into the Treehouse on a on a permanent basis
6:14
no longer a special guest. Rash Charmah, welcome to thank you. That's
6:21
so excited. We're very excited. Yeah, we're very excited. The downside
6:38
is is that angelic sound effect I just played? Raj has no idea what
6:43
that's from? No? Is that? No? Hold on? I think
6:47
I maybe could guess, and I guess. Let's let's see if you can
6:53
guess this correctly. Hang on, let me see I still find my my
6:56
correct buttons here. Nope, nope, nope, nope, that's a tough
7:00
part. Oh wait wait yeah, okay, got it? What is your
7:06
guess? Uh? Well, if it's you that's played that and you picked
7:12
it, uh, angels in the outfield? What I don't know? Or
7:18
or or what's the movie? Don't I don't think I've ever referenced that movie?
7:23
You have? You have many podcast or even ever on that many many
7:28
times you have what? Yeah? Is this? What were you all like
7:31
sharing a glass of chardonnet or something? Or is it? Uh? No?
7:38
Is it? Um? What's the movie? Just because I've seen that
7:43
movie and I know the big star in that movie doesn't mean it's my favorite
7:46
movie. And I don't ever reference it. You have referenced it. I
7:49
didn't say it was your favorite movie. I don't think it's anybody's favorite movie.
7:53
You're not You're not. You're not getting that confused with Field of Dreams,
7:56
are you? No? No, no, No, that's the that's
7:59
concernant, right yeah. Um, if you build it, they will come.
8:01
I think I've seen that one in Totality. Um, yes, I
8:07
think I have seen that one. So this is sad. I think I
8:11
know which I think I know which reference you're thinking, yeah, and it
8:16
ain't that movie. Okay, but I want to see you continue to struggle
8:22
to try to figure out what I asked for. Two guesses. I'm good,
8:26
I'm out. I know my strings and weakness. I'm aware. Yeah,
8:33
but no, it's very exciting and it made no sorry i'm pulling up
8:37
YouTube. Okay, gotcha. No, it's very exciting and it made my
8:41
when you when you when you called me, and it was again it's it's
8:45
very much like Trey said, You're like, hey, man, what are
8:46
you doing? I was like nothing And I didn't hear anything back, like
8:50
you didn't text anything back, And I was like, what was that about?
8:54
Like, what's going on. It's like you got a second and I
8:54
was like, oh no, like, what what happened? And I getting
9:00
fired. It wasn't even on the show officially. God so much in his
9:05
twenty four years at radio he became a full fledged dick, like hr Dan
9:11
just called I don't know, I say, what would have happened radio wise?
9:16
At least the last time, I would have sent you an email or
9:20
something on Friday, late Friday and said, hey, we want to get
9:24
together for a quick update on everything going on, first thing Monday morning,
9:28
and then make me and then make you wait all weekend, knowing you're gonna
9:31
get fired on Monday morning, but not tell you about it until Monday morning.
9:35
Oh man, I just remember when what was the was one of five.
9:41
I didn't even know anything was going on, and I got a phone
9:46
call saying him, Man, what was your radio station playing college fight songs?
9:50
I was like, and I remember I called you, and I this
9:52
is how I knew. I called you, and I could hear you driving
9:56
like the windows were down, and I'm like, you're not supposed to be
9:58
in the car, You're supposed to be in the office, and go,
10:03
hey man, you go yep, that was it. I was like,
10:05
all right, cool man, I just wanted to check that will forever be
10:11
one of the one of the interesting things about when you work in the media,
10:15
whether it's actually not even so much in television, but it's it seems
10:20
like a very specific to radio when when when you get blown out, everyone's
10:24
going to know about it, because when people tune in to hear what they
10:28
expect is your voice or your show or whatever it is, and instead they
10:31
hear something completely different that doesn't fit whatsoever. Yeah, then you start getting
10:35
phone calls, text messages, all that stuff. Whereas most people get fired,
10:41
they have the luxury of going home and telling their family, you know
10:45
what, I decided I didn't like that place anymore. Oh yeah, there
10:48
you go. Yeah. Oh yeah, you can't do that, No you
10:52
can't. No, yeah yeah, because because the radio station, it's not
10:54
like it's not like it's not like I could have gone home and and and
10:58
told my significant other. At the time, I was single, didn't have
11:01
a lot of time. But still if I did, it's not like I
11:03
could have gone home and said, you know what, I didn't like that
11:07
place anymore. I was sick of it. And then and then if she
11:09
was to turn on the station she hears a whole new format, she would
11:13
figure that out pretty quickly because it'd be easy because like, so, let
11:18
me get this straight, they just happen to have a whole new radio station
11:20
format in case you quit. Okay, no one's gonna believe that. So
11:26
so when you get popped in radio, everyone knows it. Yeah, Okay,
11:28
I think I found I think I found the reference that you thought I
11:33
was going with. And by the way, and this is this is really
11:35
going to hit home to Tray. And I'm using that pun intentionally because again
11:39
I use my words intentionally sometimes except when I don't. And that is these
11:43
two sports movies could not be more different in ever, in any regard.
11:50
Tray will understand and appreciate how unlike these two are. And for you rage
11:56
to conflict the two hurts me, not only as as a film buff,
12:01
but as a baseball man. Okay, see Trey, Oh yeah, get
12:20
chills? Look at that ball fly? Oh yeah, not at a boy,
12:31
Roy Roy hob Is that the one you were thinking of? Rage?
12:39
Yes? Well, no, no, I mean I know what this is.
12:45
What's that? I know what this is? Yeah, it's called a
12:48
natural. This is not Angels in the Outfield. No, but there was
12:52
one that you played ages ago that sounded very much. It was a stadium
12:54
chain for the kid or whatever it was, and I thought it was thought
13:00
it was very similar, uh stadium cheering for a kid. Yeah, you
13:05
played something it was eight ages ago. I don't, but yeah, I
13:07
know what that one is. Would it have been the moment in the Sylvester
13:11
Stallan classic over the Top where he turns his hat backwards so you know he
13:15
means business. I just had he did. I just want to know in
13:20
in that in that movie specifically because in the in the rig he had the
13:24
weight thing for his for his uh crushing hand, but but but nothing for
13:30
his arm wrestling hand. Yeah yeah, but nothing for the other hand.
13:35
So when he came out, like I was always expected, he drove with
13:37
the left hand raj so he could work out the right. But they were
13:41
both the same size, Like one should have been like significantly bigger than the
13:46
other. Like one should be like I drive like you the left arms should
13:50
have been like, hey, I drive a semi big. This one's like
13:54
I turned my hat around and crushed hands big like But no, Yeah,
14:01
So yeah, I know Robert Redford in the Natural right, yes, yeah,
14:05
so yeah, I'm still I've never seen a lot of losses to which
14:09
reference you think I was making. I'll find it. I'll find it at
14:11
some point. Let's not diminish this this beautiful moment. That's way too late
14:16
for that. It is really really just it looks like an oil slick at
14:22
this point. Ah man. Yeah, but uh no, it was really
14:28
exciting. And thank you so much for for for uh including me um in
14:33
in in this in this program because it's it's one of my favorites and your
14:37
two of my favorite people. So uh, this is just kind of a
14:39
lot of fun as it is supposed to be. Ye. So so just
14:46
just so just so you're aware, rise this this noise that's Christmas vacation when
14:52
they find the Christmas tree idea. Oh that's why that that's what's why I
14:56
said. You haven't seen the movie, so there's no way you're you get
15:00
it. But it doesn't matter because you just when you hear that noise,
15:03
you know, that's that's the sound of joy. That's the sound of uh
15:07
and and anticipation and expectations being met with. Isn't that also the same music
15:13
when the Grinch returns, all the presence is not the same where they're using
15:16
the same music as the same conductor, and that it isn't that joyful,
15:22
But isn't it? Isn't it like the same on the same lines. Look,
15:26
I don't have time to pull up all these random ass Christmas movie references
15:31
on the fly. I just think it's hilarious that you think a kid that
15:35
grew up in a very traditional Hindu household watched Christmas movies. Like, we
15:39
didn't do We didn't do that. Like my dad's the guy that told me
15:43
that, Like he didn't come. He's like, yeah, but he called,
15:46
he was too busy. Like, we're not talking about a traditional Christmas
15:50
movie. We're not talking about, you know, a Night before Christmas or
15:56
Scrooge or something. We're talking about a movie that has the line the shitter
16:00
is full. Yeah, I don't I don't know what that the reference to
16:04
that is either, But it's not really a holiday theme. Yeah, but
16:11
I mean, you know what, Trey, you and I really should have
16:14
had a meeting about this. I'm really starting to have buyers or moors here
16:18
now. It feels like home. You're listening to the Treehouse online, a
16:29
Treehouse on air dot com. Let's get Rodney Anderson into the treehouse now.
16:41
His phone number ninety two hundred. The website, which is great all the
16:45
time is Rodney Anderson dot com. Of course, now with Rodney, where've
16:49
I've been hearing that inventory that there are more homes coming onto the market for
16:55
sale. I'm wondering is that actually true or is it just a room or
17:00
what are you seeing out there? Yeah, we're starting to see inventory really
17:03
pick up. In fact, a week ago, Dan it was noted on
17:06
Housing Wire, a leading housing website, that eight thousand homes came on the
17:11
market in one week, which is unheard of nationwide. It has been so
17:15
limited. We're seeing houses come on the market left and right, but we're
17:19
also seeing some houses sit on the market. We're hearing our clients say this
17:25
house has been on the market for twenty five days. This house been on
17:27
the market thirty five days. And they're striking some deals on these because some
17:32
of the sellers have found other houses they want to move, they're moving out
17:36
of state, and they're like, wow, if you'll make me an offer
17:38
on my house, I may accept it. But We had a client the
17:41
other day. They made an offer on a seven hundred and fifty thousand dollar
17:44
house and they made it for seven hundred thousand. They didn't get it at
17:48
that but they got it for seven hundred and twenty thousand and it was listed
17:51
for seven fifty. So we haven't seen some of that before. But you've
17:55
got to be preapproved up front. You've got to know what's important to the
17:57
seller. Do we need to close quick? And our specialty is getting purchases
18:02
done in eight to fifteen days, so we're doing it every single day for
18:04
our customers and that is music to seller's ears. So you want to make
18:08
sure that you're playing the right song. So give Rodney and his team a

19:04
we've got the special announcement out of the way, Yeah, now I think
19:12
that'll actually free raj Uph to start thinking about how how it is he would
19:18
like to celebrate, especially Tray, since we're throwing so much money at him.
19:22
Yeah, backed up, Yeah, I just I'm assuming there's the stock
19:30
options. Is that where the realm? Is this the back end money kicks
19:36
in? Is that what happens? Uh crash right? He knows about He
19:40
knows about back end stuff. No, I think I'll just take a I'll
19:45
just I'll head up to my my spot and grab somebody eat. It's a
19:48
it's a very nice thing. I don't I'm not. I'm forty seven,
19:52
I'm not. Celebration is a very low key term, like like ce.
19:59
Celebrating sounds exhausting, you know what I mean, Like celebrations like how are
20:02
you gonna celebrate? That? Sounds like I have to I have to work
20:06
to plan something. I just I'm gonna I'll probably go up to Oat uh
20:10
and grab. They have a phenomenal burger so uh, I'll probably while you're
20:14
there hit him up for some advertising. I'm there enough, I probably should
20:19
um. But yeah, nothing nothing crazy. I'm not gonna do anything like
20:23
I don't know. I'm too old to to to celebrate, to celebrate.
20:29
I don't know nothing, nothing wild nothing uh at an age now where Yeah,
20:36
you say celebrate, I'm thinking I'm gonna have a nice steak dinner and
20:40
and then I'm gonna be in bed by ten o'clock. Yeah. I just
20:45
you know, when I think celebrated you, I always look at you YouTube
20:49
and I'm like, they're white people celebrate Like that's like like you guys do
20:55
outlandish stuff. You guys will do like big momentous things. I'm Indian like,
21:00
like even like my dad's sixtieth birthday. I think we went to El
21:03
Phoenix like that, like he hit a milestone or like who wants enchiladas,
21:07
Like that's all it was. Like, I don't think that's necessarily a culturally
21:11
specific thing. I think that's an age related thing where you don't want a
21:15
big deal made out of certain things. But I mean when you're or you
21:18
will celebrate like a wild person, you know, whether it's your birthday or
21:23
you know, life or something. I don't I think it is called like
21:29
like you guys will like will do like to like skydive, or you'll bungee
21:33
jump or you'll And when I say you guys, I mean white people,
21:37
uh specifically, like that's a very that's a very white people thing. Like
21:41
when you're like, who's who's skydiving, I'm like, let's I'm jumping out
21:45
of the plane. Is not something like my body's not designed to do that,
21:49
like I will. I will actually ACQUI us on that because whenever I've
21:53
seen skydiving videos or bungee jumping videos, it's very very rare that it's a
22:00
person of color saying hey watch this. Yeah. I mean it's like like
22:03
I'm not I'm not gonna I'm not climbing Everest, like Everest is in India
22:08
and it's always white people climbing it there's no peoples. Yeah, but but
22:15
even then they're just like, that's that's going to work. Like they're not,
22:19
yeah, that is that's Tuesday for them. They're they're not celebrating being
22:23
cancer free like they're They're they're like, uh, it's Monday, and we
22:29
gotta take these white people up to the top. That's exactly what it is.
22:32
It's like it's like the white people, they they they we get up
22:34
on at the We get it on the top of Everest. Like, take
22:37
a photo of us. We look fantastic. Look at we have done.
22:40
We have made it to the top of Everest. Meanwhile, the poor shirt
22:44
had taken the photos like no, I dragged your ass up here. Yeah.
22:47
Basically, he's like, I gotta do this again today, So can
22:49
we wrap this up? And like that show starts at four people moving.
22:56
I got a four pm Everest at an eight pm for us, like and
23:00
I've got an early K two in the morning. Let's yeah, I got
23:06
a double feature. What's awful? This is like the double insult of the
23:14
sherpas is there's a whole documentary on Prime about this. It's not only they
23:18
risk their lives basically catering to the fantasies of raj is right, it's white
23:23
people. Let's be let's be fully correct. Tray, it's rich white people.
23:30
Oh yeah, yeah's tray and I are not doing it. Let me
23:33
get to the right demographic. My apology. They then they had to go
23:37
up on Everest. It basically risk all their lives to clean Everest up because
23:42
of all the trash all the white people have left on the way up there.
23:45
That and there's also when people don't realize, like if you get hurt,
23:51
they just leave you there. Yeah, so there's people literally, it's
23:55
not it's not just Cliff Bars, it's people. Yeah, it's Cliff.
24:02
You canna have to walk around Cliff. There's like there's people there, like
24:04
there's there are very few people who have like there's like one hundred and seventy
24:08
people up there dead, and very few of them actually just fell and died
24:14
instantly. Most of them, you know, it's a sprained ankle or something
24:15
where they can't get down and there there is no like unless the conditions are
24:21
just perfect and you got like a one percent chance you're staying up here,
24:25
that's your Yeah, it's like this I was reading. I was just reading
24:29
about this, we we've we lost another another white person. Uh of the
24:36
French persuasion. He was a daredevil and he's now dead at thirty. Because
24:41
if you're known as a French daredevil, you're you're euro Bits coming early.
24:48
I'm just saying, I thought, friend, there's something the French won't wave
24:51
a white flag. App I just fitted French and Daredevil's like, oh,
24:57
he's gluten free. I don't know that. I don't know. I don't
25:02
know what that is. But he felt like he felt as this happened yesterday.
25:04
I believe that he felt to his death. He was on the sixty
25:08
eighth floor of a building in Hong Kong and and he at thirty and I'm
25:14
like, what, like, how bored are you with life by thirty that
25:18
you're like, let me climb stuff, let me like, let me climb
25:22
to the top of this build. And then here's the funniest part of that
25:25
story. And I know he's dead and it's nothing. You can't laugh at
25:27
that. He can't. Here's why, yeah you can. It's it's not
25:30
like it's not like he was abducted and someone put him on the edge of
25:36
the building. That's my thought. When they go because it says here has
25:40
tragically passed away. I'm like tragically no, no, no, he just
25:45
died tragically. Is if like one of us falls out of a sixty eighth
25:48
story building, that's tragic? Why? Because we didn't want to? Yeah,
25:53
there's why. If the story ends up that I fell from a sixty
25:57
eighth story there's a five part Netflix series on how I got to that point,
26:06
and it's gonna be some creepy too. To make sure that not only
26:12
is his death an in depth Netflix docuseries, but it's also at least two
26:18
seasons of a podcast, the Rise and Fall of dread Home. Yeah,
26:27
like, what did they put him through to get him up sixty eight floor?
26:30
That's what I'm saying. Like people are like, hey, did you
26:33
ever go a skiing? I'm like, hey man, I'm Indian. If
26:37
you see me sliding down a mountain on wooden planks, I owed somebody money,
26:41
Like that's why that's the only reason you want to go skydiving. No,
26:48
I don't want to do any of those things. You want to go
26:49
bunch. That's why I like whenever I hear stuff like when they go you
26:52
know what, he fell out of a sixty eighth, So he was climbing
26:56
the sixty eight on the sixtieth floor of this building. That he climbed,
27:00
I'm like, well, then he died. Okay, you'll never read that
27:03
about me. You'll you'll be like, man, he choked, it oaked,
27:07
like that's what. That's what. That's that's the clue. That's the
27:10
most tragic thing you're gonna read. He's like on the whiskey bacon. Oh
27:12
man, that sucks. That's it. Nothing yet that you died doing what
27:18
you love. And I hope they first of all, as a as a
27:25
hindude, please don't put hamburger in my obituary. Like, let's just leave
27:30
that part out. I'm not supposed to be eating that. But like,
27:34
this guy's like and the story ends with and I'm not making this up.
27:38
Uh he was. He was stuck on the outside of the building and he's
27:44
banging on the window for help. Uh. And a housekeeper saw it went
27:49
to get help, and he fell before the police could get there. This
27:53
part is my poor housekeeper. That's what I remember. One tragic part of
27:59
this story. That's where a housekeeper because not only did she have to witness
28:03
this man quote unquote stuck outside in the building, but she had to go
28:07
find help, and when she gets back, he's not there, which is
28:11
a problem, which is a twofold problem there, first of which is her
28:15
credibility is instantly questioned by the by the authorities that she brought to. They're
28:22
like really, really again again, rita, okay, whatever. And then
28:27
after the fact, she has to find out that the guy died. So
28:30
now she's probably gonna have some guilt about the fact that she didn't get help
28:34
fast enough, or that she wasn't able to properly convince the help that no,
28:38
really, there's a crazy white there's a crazy white guy out outside and
28:42
he needs help. Yeah, And it says the best part of the story.
28:47
It says police are still investigating. I'm like, what we can wrap
28:52
this crime up? Guys, like this would be over before lunch, Like
28:56
what happened? I really? I think the only investigation is is just checked
29:00
the phone because they usually record that stuff. And if he's they found his
29:04
camera at the scene. They found his camera and he was performing little stunts
29:11
on top of the sixty eighth floor and then he locked himself out. Um
29:17
so if then if you want to call that part tragic. He locked himself
29:22
out again, I don't think that's tragic. Like if it was, I
29:26
don't either. But my own theory is like when you're when you're planning,
29:32
Like when you're planning, I'm I'm thirty, I'm French. Um, I'm
29:37
gonna climb a building that I think that's the three part process. I'm white,
29:42
white, French and thirty. Go do this at some point you go,
29:47
can I lock myself out? Like, that's not part of the plant.
29:49
I don't know how it works because it will never happen to me.
29:52
You'll never hear that. You'll never like, man, he locked himself out
29:56
where the seventieth floor? No, no, No, that doesn't happen to
30:00
never, Like, how do you not think of that? Like the contingencies
30:04
right and wait? Lock you're how if you lock yourself out, you're on
30:11
a balcony, You wait for someone to come, you know, show up,
30:14
scream for your neighbors. Yeah, I mean again, clearly, clearly
30:19
gravity was holding a gun to his head, and it's it's all of that.
30:23
It's like, but I have friends at surfing in LA and you want
30:26
to go surfing. No, Well, there's you know how it's impossible.
30:32
It's almost impossible to get bit by a shark. We'll tell not to the
30:33
girl who made a movie where she was missing an arm. I don't want
30:37
to. I don't. I don't want to. I don't want her to
30:38
be the raj Arma story where you're like it was the first time he surfed
30:41
and he lost his leg. I don't. I don't need any of them.
30:45
I'm good. I'm gonna be a great it'd be a great stand up
30:48
special though it would be yeah wow, I mean he's I mean in his
30:56
it's not so much as stand up special as it is a lean to.
31:03
I would call it lean on me, I mean, or don't lean on
31:14
God damn this show on foot. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us

on Dan's face. Time not a welcome into the treehouse. Daniel Cook from

Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. The phone number that you can use to get
31:49
that free roof inspection is eight three three cook DFW. The website cook dfw
31:53
dot com. So Daniel, I know you're outside a lot as a roofer.
31:57
That means you're on roofs a lot in this heat. Ever had anybody
32:01
call you because they're roof melted dan Not exactly, but pretty close. We've
32:07
been on some roofs that you would not leave how much the shingles have cracked
32:12
and separate it and started to literally disintegrate on some of these homes. And
32:16
it's scary because a lot of people had no idea that actually heat can ruin
32:22
your roof. Just like you know, everybody's always panicking about hail and wind,
32:25
but the sun and the heat that we get here in North Texas is
32:30
damaging very much to our roofs. And so even if you do not think
32:34
you have damage, you need to get your roof inspected annually. And that
32:37
was one of the biggest reasons. Why is the heat that we have here.
32:40
Nothing can sustain it long term. So you got to protect your home
32:45
and do yourself a favor. Call us out. We love to check it.
32:47
If you have these type of damages, we can at least alert you
32:51
to them before they get worse. And that's why it's such a great thing
32:53
that cook DFW Roofing and Restoration offers that free roof inspection, Like Daniel said,
32:59
they'll come out take a look and not cost you anything to do so,
33:02
so give them a call eight three three cook DFW. That's eight three
33:06
three cook DFW or that website cookdfw dot com, us online, that treehouse

33:17
phone number is two one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight. The
33:22
website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com for any and all of your plumbing needs.
33:27
Have you ever had this happened where someone calls you and says, well,
33:30
I tried to do it myself, can you fix it? I see this
33:34
all the time, and I see it a lot of times when the homeowner
33:37
wants to save money and they want to try and alleviate the problem by themselves.
33:43
Most recently, I had a homeowner who went to one of the places
33:46
like home depot and rented a sewer snake or an augur, whatever you want
33:50
to call it, and they were trying to unstop the sewer, but they
33:53
got the cable stuck and they broke the cable in the sewer system. And
34:00
does happen every way, It's happened to us before, but we know how
34:02
to get it out, and it's a it's a time consuming effort. I've
34:07
also had homeowners who tried to do really simple things like repipe underneath the bathroom
34:10
vanity sink, and they go and they buy these flexible drains, which are
34:15
awesome to work with because they're so easy to install, but they're not always
34:20
the best material and it's easy to miss maybe an air gap or getting things
34:24
at the right angle so that they can drain properly, and then all of
34:28
a sudden, the sink's overflowing and you've left to go to work, and
34:30
now it's all over the floor when you get home, and you had no
34:32
idea it was even happening. I always say best to leave power and water
34:37
to the professionals, because those are two things you don't want to screw up,
34:40
because if you screw them up, then that makes it worse. It's
34:43
going to cost you more money. That's why I call Rooks Plumbing two one
34:46
four thirty eight thirty eight. That's two one four three six eight thirty eight
34:50

that as well. They do it all at Brooks Plumbing two one four three
35:38
six eight thirty eight thirty eight or Brooksplumbing Texas dot com. So I think
35:42
one of the major takeaways out of that that previous segment was at gravity is
35:52
not a tragedy, right, Gravity is under quote unquote death. Define that
36:00
has to do with dangling yourself out the window or a balcony or off the
36:04
edge of a sixty eight story of a building. That's pretty much just gonna
36:08
be on you. Yeah, if you fall up sixty eight floors, that's
36:13
a tragedy. Yeah, if you get sucked up and in fall that's sad.
36:20
Look if you go up there, my whole thing again in my head,
36:22
I'm like, can I lock myself out? How did I get there?
36:29
Do I have a key? Maybe? You know, Roger, you
36:30
mentioned how the authorities, like in the story, authorities said they're still investigating.
36:35
Maybe that's what they're doing, is they're investigating to see did he bring
36:38
a door jam? And right, maybe so if he did, maybe there
36:44
was some foul play. Maybe maybe someone saw him out there and it's like
36:49
ooh, and then they go upstairs and see, I don't know, they
36:52
see the door jam and like, well, this door is not supposed to
36:53
be open, and they just pull it. I mean, who knows.
36:55
Wouldn't that wouldn't that just be qualified as occupationalzard right? Like you could fall
37:02
like my thing is oh as a as a daredevil, yes, Like what
37:07
can future daredevils learn from this? And I'm thinking daredevil in the buddy system
37:13
need to kind of like have have a friend there in case the door shuts
37:16
like that, like maybe your friend isn't the daredevil, maybe you are,
37:21
and he's scared and he's like, you know what, I'll watch the door.
37:24
That makes sense. I'd absolutely makes sense. Yeah, because even like
37:29
like you were saying, I would do that for you, I'll do that
37:30
for you, guys. For you is I'm not ever going to be dangling
37:35
myself off the edge of a sixty eight story tall building. Good, I'm
37:39
not going to do it on eight stories. That's why. That's why we're
37:43
friends. We all like the ground. But like, but like even with
37:46
the diving thing, with scuba diving and saying or what or surfing or something
37:51
and you get nibbled on by a shark. Those are two activities where typically
37:54
they suggest take a friend with you just in case. Yeah, I mean
37:59
I don't, yeah, I just uh, if I'm in your hood,
38:02
like I'm not going I'm not going swimming in the ocean. That's your place.
38:06
Like why if like, now a different story, like if I'm sitting
38:09
in a restaurant on on uh in Santa Monica or Malibu and a shark walks
38:15
in and bites me, that's kind of a dick move. Yeah, that's
38:21
fair, you know what I mean, Like that's a solid like, hey
38:22
man, what the flip side is if you if you go into their soup
38:24
bowl and stick your leg in, well yeah, yeah, then fair,
38:30
that's fair when people are like that they lost an arm. No, it's
38:35
not sad that you were there. He was like, you know what,
38:37
it's time for lunch. Lunch is swimming by a lot, so I'm hungry.
38:44
Let me. It's it's like being at the revolving It's all these items.
38:50
You're like, Oh, that looks cool, that looks like the that
38:52
looks new and interesting. That must be the monthly special. I'm gonna flip
38:54
the lid and try that for your predator. That's the other thing is your
39:00
predator has really bad eyesight. Do you have anything? Do you have anything?
39:07
In a white tourist, This has been fun. It's been able to
39:15
actually uh like most things that happened with this show, not just for listeners,
39:21
but also for us. It helps it. It serves as a as
39:24
a distraction for the for the real things going on in our lives. Like,
39:28
for example, Uh, I can't hang hang around too much longer because
39:32
I've I've got a contractor coming over to the house and just a little bit
39:36
that you know, I've got to do stuff with for what But what's so
39:42
important? Yeah, what's more important than this? Dan? Well, my
39:47
wife's sanity and therefore my sanity the gou. So I think you two both
39:54
know that that that tera my wife is and I'm not exaggerating this at all.
40:00
She is phobic when it comes to roaches, okay, and she's gotten
40:07
better over the years, meaning how she stopped burning down the places that we've
40:10
lived, I'm kidding there. Uh, there's only actually been one place that
40:20
we have lived where we were like where we had to move, and that
40:23
was that was an apartment in Addison we lived in. And typically, you
40:28
know, when there's roaches around, people like, oh, you're dirty.
40:30
I agree with that, except this one place we lived in and Addison.
40:35
It was where it was a first floor apartment the very back of the complex.
40:38
It was shaded, it was wet, everything that a roach loves,
40:42
and whatever we did like, they were there when we got there. We
40:45
couldn't get rid of them. So we moved and had the apartment complex transfer
40:49
us to a different spot. We found a sunny spot on the third floor
40:52
and never saw a roach again. But everywhere we've lived, we've you know,
40:57
we've we've been clean and we've never really had a roach problem except that
41:00
apartment and until now so so the house we're in right now. Clearly the
41:07
people that were here before it was I don't know if it was clutter or
41:12
they had food particles left out or what. But we didn't have the problem
41:16
before. And now we have this problem where roaches keep coming out and it's
41:22
like clockwork the first and it's like around it's sunsets, around eight eight thirty
41:28
they start coming out from underneath the kitchen stove. Yeah, and and living
41:36
with someone who is phobic when it comes to roaches, we can't have an
41:39
enjoyable evening watching a Top Chef or Shitt's Creek or yellow Stone or whatever it
41:45
is, because she's always side eyeing that kitchen because she can see any little
41:51
movement which is not little. They're they're they're the big em efforts or they're
41:54
the big Texas roaches. Any little movement she's she's looking ship. She would
42:01
have made a hell of a cornerback in the NFL if because the football looks
42:05
like a roach. Oh my god. Anyway, and when when she has
42:10
affected that much, I am affected that much because then in the middle of
42:14
the night she wakes up and now she's thinking, oh my god, and
42:16
this is what happens in someone's brain when they're this messed up when it comes
42:21
to something that they're phobic about. Is she's assuming that since she's seen one,
42:27
there's thousands and they all wait to come out until she closes her eyes.
42:31
And now it's like a sea of nasty roaches around the bed. And
42:35
so she wake up the middle of the night. She's turning her phone on,
42:37
she's looking the flashlights, she's looking around. Wow. And so I've
42:43
spent a good chunk of my time the last few evenings killing roaches, looking
42:49
like an idiot, bouncing around on the hardwood floors because those in mephors are
42:52
fast. Can't can't you do the Does they have stuff for that, like
42:58
the little roach that. Yeah, so there's the roach baits and things.
43:02
But I've seen those roach bits and I don't think they're big enough for the
43:06
ones we got. Oh really, they're like that big that bit. Yeah,
43:08
they're where they're like they're like the two to three inches. Oh no,
43:13
yeah, I'm not even phobic and making my skin crawl. You don't
43:15
have your you know how your pets with you see just bomb the house.
43:20
Yeah that's what. So we we have an exterminator coming today, and that's
43:23
gonna be my thing, is to tell him fix this because this morning,
43:32
this morning, at like four thirty in the morning, Uh, I go
43:39
to the bathroom and I come out of the bathroom and all the lights in
43:42
the bedroom are on because I got up and will tear it up. And
43:45
now she's she's looking around for the roaches, which, of course what happens
43:47
in the middle of the night. If you're looking for roaches and you've had
43:50
a roach problem, you can find some. Yeah, So at like like
43:53
four thirty in the morning, I had to kill a bear of roaches and
43:57
try to go back to sleep. Wow, the the exterminator man cannot come
44:01
here fast enough, as has Tara had the thought yet that she better inspect
44:08
you all stuff really well before you go back to the islands, so you're
44:12
not carrying a roach with you. Oh yeah, no, that's that's that's
44:15
already been happening. Everything will be everything will be turned upside down. And
44:21
that's actually I'm glad you brought that up, Trey. So, uh,
44:24
islands have lots of roaches, like Hawaii has the really big hissing cockroaches.
44:31
Where we live on St. Thomas has lots of roaches, and they're just
44:35
roaches everywhere. It's a water bug. It's where we live, it's human,
44:37
it's moist, it's a perfect environment for them. It's been I think
44:42
we've seen one roach maybe two inside of our house since in the year that
44:47
we've been living there. So that gives you an idea. We're not like
44:51
roach attractors. God, so the roaches on the islands have better manners.
44:58
Maybe maybe that's what it is. They're just they're just Yeah, they've got
45:01
they've got they're well behaved. They they stay outside. They know, let's
45:06
not bother the people inside made them. When they come out, it's pretty
45:09
outside. I'm sure there's some great views. So if you're going to be
45:15
an island roach, you might as well live the island style, right,
45:17
I guess that makes sense. Yeah, I think that where they can stay
45:20
outside, enjoy the enjoy the trade winds, whereas in Texas there is no
45:23
trade wind it's just blast furnace, and so they want to come inside where
45:27
there's hair conditioning. Yeah, isn't there wasn't there a horror movie where it
45:30
was just all attack of the roaches or what. Yeah, it's called My
45:34
Life raj No. But I just in the horror movie like the I think
45:38
there's one scene if I remember this correctly, as a kid, like the
45:42
guy opens the closet door and it's just a billion of them come out,
45:46
and it's like, how this whole like everybody, It's like the attack of
45:50
I don't know what the movie was called, but um can't in the movie,
45:52
I think they can. They can like bour into your like they can
45:57
have eggs in your ears and stuff not. You know what the good thing
46:00
is is I can actually put a warning on this episode, and I think
46:05
I might be able to lock my wife from absolutely listening to this. I'm
46:10
just saying, I mean, they can lay eggs in your in then they
46:14
just grow in your head. Shut up, rag, I'm saying in the
46:19
movie. I'm not saying in real life. That's not going to hear in
46:23
the movie. She didn't hear that in the movie. Disclaimer, she heard
46:28
the roaches are gonna lay eggs in my ears. But I will say this,
46:31
there is there. I always like to try to find at least some
46:35
silver lining. A positive twist is something negative going on, you know,
46:38
okay, And that is despite all the issues we've had with roaches around dinner
46:44
time and overnight and having to kill them in the middle of the night,
46:47
which, by the way, I had to run around the backyard last night
