Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hm, it is time to leave your warriors outside and
- 0:28Speaker 1: come laugh with us inside the tree House. I'm Daniel Malley,
- 0:33Speaker 1: along with Tree Trendholm and Raj Sharma. I am a
- 0:40Speaker 1: firm believer in starting things off with a bang, and
- 0:46Speaker 1: seeing as how we are the experts of stupid, we
- 0:51Speaker 1: are the self almost said self complained, although that's kind
- 0:54Speaker 1: of fitting. We are the self proclaimed experts of all
- 0:59Speaker 1: things stupid, So I think it's important to start each
- 1:03Speaker 1: episode with something truly stupid to hook people in, especially
- 1:09Speaker 1: in case maybe it's your first time experiencing the Treehouse
- 1:15Speaker 1: and of all the things on the list of possible
- 1:19Speaker 1: items to get to in today's show Tuesday, August twenty seventh,
- 1:23Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, I don't think anything could be stupider
- 1:30Speaker 1: than talking about how waffles evolved from an ancient Roman
- 1:34Speaker 1: delicacy to one of the world's most popular treats. Yes,
- 1:39Speaker 1: I mean it when I say that waffles are Italian.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Hmm.
- 1:46Speaker 1: We've all been misled, led as stray down the wrong
- 1:51Speaker 1: rabbit hole into thinking that waffles were from Belgium. Turns
- 1:57Speaker 1: out only Jean Claude van Dam is from Belgium. The
- 2:02Speaker 1: waffles their roots are in Italy.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I didn't know my life was going to change so
- 2:10Speaker 2: much today, I would have prepared differently. Just letting you know.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I think sometimes the surprise is better than the heads up.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Because if I had told you, Raj, your life's going
- 2:23Speaker 1: to change inside the treehouse today, you know, I'm not
- 2:28Speaker 1: sure how you would have responded. So I think being
- 2:31Speaker 1: surprised by this earth shattering information.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Yes, Here's what I'm trying to tell you is you
- 2:40Speaker 2: don't understand like you are now giving people that dine
- 2:43Speaker 2: at the waffle house the ability to say they're at
- 2:45Speaker 2: fine dining is what you're doing now.
- 2:48Speaker 1: So people are like, no, if Mario Batali wants to
- 2:51Speaker 1: have a special section on the waffle house Vendu, it
- 2:55Speaker 1: would actually make sense now, Yes, it would made from
- 3:02Speaker 1: leavened batter or dough cooked between two patterned plates. Waffles
- 3:07Speaker 1: are thought to be one of the oldest desserts around.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Often topped with honey, whipped cream, syrup, or jam, they're
- 3:13Speaker 1: ideal for breakfast or a snack, sometimes savored on the run.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Hugely popular in Northwestern European countries as well as the
- 3:23Speaker 1: United States and Asia. They can be crispy, sweet, or
- 3:26Speaker 1: salty with deep or shallow grooves. This is the section
- 3:31Speaker 1: of the story that I crap you not on CNN
- 3:34Speaker 1: Travel has the sub headline origin story. Yeah, even waffles
- 3:41Speaker 1: have an origin story.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:43Speaker 3: My first question in this, Yeah, what rabbit hole did
- 3:50Speaker 3: you go in that you came to this point?
- 3:55Speaker 2: What did you start at? Crape and uh starting like muffin?
- 4:02Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, were you starting with breakfast ideas and
- 4:04Speaker 3: then you came to this.
- 4:06Speaker 1: That actually would make sense? Maybe I typed into YouTube
- 4:09Speaker 1: how to make a creep, how to do blueberry muffins,
- 4:14Speaker 1: one hundred and one breakfast ideas, all those make perfect sense.
- 4:18Speaker 1: But I did something way stupider. I just went to
- 4:21Speaker 1: see and in oh.
- 4:23Speaker 2: I thought it was like you got the edible again
- 4:24Speaker 2: and you're like, how to make a waffle? Where are
- 4:27Speaker 2: waffles from?
- 4:28Speaker 3: And that's how it started or or this was this
- 4:32Speaker 3: was a tie in to now how we can you know,
- 4:34Speaker 3: get toilet wine into waffle house.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Waffles and ditch.
- 4:43Speaker 1: You may be onto something else their trade, because I mean,
- 4:47Speaker 1: if if one thing we've learned and all of our
- 4:53Speaker 1: combined years of drinking, it's that some alcohol begs to
- 4:58Speaker 1: be paired with fine foods. Wouldn't a nice bottle of
- 5:03Speaker 1: toilet wine or a hot glass of ditch gin hair
- 5:08Speaker 1: perfectly with a waffle?
- 5:13Speaker 2: I like it.
- 5:14Speaker 4: I also said that scattered, smothered, and ditched, that I'd
- 5:20Speaker 4: love to see the waitress's face at waffle house when
- 5:23Speaker 4: she asked, how would you like your hash browns?
- 5:26Speaker 2: And you say ditched, and she goes, gotcha, pulls it
- 5:31Speaker 2: out of her apron.
- 5:33Speaker 5: She knows I'm thinking more of those little airplane bottles in.
- 5:36Speaker 2: The bra You don't worry. Your waitress has been ditched
- 5:40Speaker 2: since this morning. I like. Also said the waffles are
- 5:46Speaker 2: good on the I've never I've never done this, and
- 5:48Speaker 2: I don't know if you have. Have you ever had
- 5:50Speaker 2: a waffle on the go?
- 5:51Speaker 1: I have, I've done to go waffles.
- 5:54Speaker 2: No, no, no, Like you're walking out the door eating a waffle. Yeah, wow, okay.
- 5:58Speaker 1: It actually if you've never tried it, waffles actually make
- 6:01Speaker 1: a great sandwich, like if you're out of bread. So
- 6:04Speaker 1: in my college days, like you guys, you were probably
- 6:08Speaker 1: poor and it was easier to keep waffles in the
- 6:16Speaker 1: freezer longer than it was a loaf of bread. So
- 6:20Speaker 1: instead of buying bread, I would just buy a box
- 6:22Speaker 1: of waffles and peanut butter and jelly between two waffles.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Oh really, really, you're.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Just now so you're you're just now catching up like
- 6:35Speaker 2: you've always had stoner mentality, but now you're actually doing
- 6:38Speaker 2: the wheat.
- 6:41Speaker 1: And you know what the great irony is, Raj, I
- 6:46Speaker 1: don't think I like the weed because you like a food,
- 6:50Speaker 1: though I love the food. I mean, I was that
- 6:52Speaker 1: kid for a reason. I didn't need weed to eat. Okay, No,
- 6:58Speaker 1: the other day so we had we bought the edible
- 7:00Speaker 1: what last week or whatever? And I'm not sure if
- 7:03Speaker 1: I really dug that. I felt a little, you know,
- 7:05Speaker 1: motion sick. Didn't really like it. It wasn't really sure about it.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So we figured, okay, maybe we talked to some of
- 7:11Speaker 1: our stoner friends and they recommended maybe for go the
- 7:14Speaker 1: edible and just good a good old fashioned joint. So
- 7:16Speaker 1: we went back to the cannabis store here in Seattle
- 7:20Speaker 1: and said, okay, uh, give me some plunge point something
- 7:26Speaker 1: to smoke, Yes, thank you, I need I need some
- 7:29Speaker 1: smoking weed. How about that? Yes? And and can you
- 7:34Speaker 1: roll it for me? Because I'm pathetic. Luckily they deal
- 7:38Speaker 1: with people like me on the regular basis because they
- 7:40Speaker 1: already had in the two pre rolls, two joints perfectly rolled. Like,
- 7:45Speaker 1: oh okay, that works out nicely, So I got the
- 7:48Speaker 1: same strain. It was an Indica something like nineteen point
- 7:52Speaker 1: something percent THC, which is not the very bottom but
- 7:55Speaker 1: pretty low. She said. By the way, Hi, Jennifer from
- 7:58Speaker 1: Fort Worth who lives in Yattle now and works at
- 8:00Speaker 1: the head shop. So two to the tube ten bucks,
- 8:07Speaker 1: that's a pretty good deal. Took it home and Tara
- 8:10Speaker 1: and I we just took like one hit each and
- 8:12Speaker 1: just to see h After one hit, I started feeling nauseous. Mm,
- 8:19Speaker 1: So I guess me and we just don't go together.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Did you eat prior to smoking a little bit? Yeah,
- 8:27Speaker 2: you're noxious because your body was craving the food that
- 8:30Speaker 2: you used to consume without it. So it's like, hey,
- 8:34Speaker 2: where is that waffle with peanut butter and jelly? Where's
- 8:38Speaker 2: that waffle sandwich? Which I've never heard anybody's say out loud, No,
- 8:43Speaker 2: I'm not try it?
- 8:44Speaker 1: Why are you you're so judgy? Try it? It is
- 8:47Speaker 1: good waffles. Throw them in the toaster, pull it out,
- 8:52Speaker 1: put a little peanut butter on there, a little bit
- 8:54Speaker 1: of strawberry jelly. I'm a strawberry jelly. Peanut butter and
- 8:57Speaker 1: jelly guy. Grape is fine, but strawberries strawberry's mind as
- 9:00Speaker 1: well superior. But those two together, you got yourself a
- 9:04Speaker 1: tasty treat.
- 9:05Speaker 3: I've made a breakfast sandwich with waffles, but never PB
- 9:08Speaker 3: and j hell.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Yes, savory or sweet, that's the beauty of waffles. Thanks
- 9:12Speaker 1: for segueing back into our origin story of waffles, Trey.
- 9:17Speaker 1: But where do waffles actually come from? Experts? Yes, Experts
- 9:23Speaker 1: say the origins of this sweet or savory treat date
- 9:26Speaker 1: back millennia, and while their roots can be traced to
- 9:30Speaker 1: ancient Greece, Giorgio friend Ketty, author of the book Dining
- 9:34Speaker 1: with the Ancient Romans, believes waffles are derived from a
- 9:38Speaker 1: particular delicacy of ancient rome Friend Ketty in you in
- 9:43Speaker 1: case you're curious, has you know on career day in
- 9:52Speaker 1: school and there's all these like regular people with regular
- 9:55Speaker 1: jobs telling you about them, usually a copper of fireman.
- 9:58Speaker 1: There's like an accountant and up a business person. You
- 10:01Speaker 1: might you know someone maybe someone's an entrepreneur. You never
- 10:04Speaker 1: really get a really cool job like I like I'm
- 10:08Speaker 1: guessing Giorgio Frank Ketty had at his school because he's
- 10:12Speaker 1: a food scholar of ancient Rome, not just a food
- 10:18Speaker 1: scholar in general, but specifically an ancient Rome food scholar.
- 10:24Speaker 1: He specialized very, which I assume puts him in high demand.
- 10:28Speaker 1: So when CNN called to find out about waffles, he
- 10:31Speaker 1: was rare and to go, he says. And again he
- 10:36Speaker 1: wrote a book about this nighting with the ancient Romans,
- 10:38Speaker 1: and I guess people bought it. So friend Keddy, a
- 10:41Speaker 1: food scholar of ancient Rome, told CNN waffles are very
- 10:45Speaker 1: likely the descendants of the popular crustulum, which were sweet
- 10:51Speaker 1: biscuits adored by the ancient Romans. The term in Latin
- 10:54Speaker 1: clearly suggests that these biscuits were crispy with a crumbly
- 10:57Speaker 1: crust that melted in the mouth. That's a cool to
- 11:01Speaker 1: bring Kenny. There are no known historical documents on how
- 11:04Speaker 1: crustula were shaped, but Frank Kenny believes they were likely
- 11:07Speaker 1: flat biscuits made with the same basic ingredients as waffles
- 11:10Speaker 1: and baked inside two heated iron.
- 11:14Speaker 2: If if I likely believed something, does that can that
- 11:16Speaker 2: make me make me an expert? Like? What's the recipe?
- 11:20Speaker 2: There's not one. How do we believe it was made?
- 11:22Speaker 2: We're not sure it was it round? I have no idea,
- 11:24Speaker 2: but I like to believe the Romans ate it.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Uh, Raj, I think you just described vaccine science over
- 11:31Speaker 1: the last few years.
- 11:36Speaker 2: I'm just saying, well, when it's like when given like, so,
- 11:40Speaker 2: how how were there squares? Well, we don't know. Okay,
- 11:44Speaker 2: was where were there toppings? Not a clue.
- 11:46Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked that question, Raj. Their preparation method
- 11:49Speaker 1: for crustula is thought to be identical to that of
- 11:52Speaker 1: modern day waffles, although it's unclear whether crustula originally had
- 11:58Speaker 1: the iconic grooves of the waters that we know today.
- 12:02Speaker 5: Isn't that a pancake?
- 12:08Speaker 1: Well, Trey, I believe you busted this waffle iron wide open?
- 12:12Speaker 2: Damn you friend Kenny. Somewhere in my head, Frank Kenny
- 12:22Speaker 2: just heard this and he's just putting stuff in a box.
- 12:24Speaker 2: You know, it's like he just got fired.
- 12:29Speaker 1: He lost his grant. I he's gonna have to go deliver.
- 12:37Speaker 1: He's gonna have to work for door Dash deliver up.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Trey, send that man a waffle irony.
- 12:50Speaker 1: See, aren't we glad we now know the origin story
- 12:53Speaker 1: behind waffles.
- 12:57Speaker 6: You're listening to the tree House, Visit us online at
- 13:01Speaker 6: Treahouse on air dot com.
- 13:09Speaker 1: All right, let's get Daniel Cook into the Treehouse now
- 13:12Speaker 1: from Cook DFW roofing and Restoration. I've heard that not
- 13:16Speaker 1: only have you started advertising on our little brother program Offbeat,
- 13:21Speaker 1: the Light Side of Law Enforcement, but we've learned that
- 13:24Speaker 1: retired police officer Steve Rutherford and host of Offbeat, can't
- 13:28Speaker 1: say the word restoration, can he?
- 13:30Speaker 7: He was struggling with that, Dan, I mean, he kept
- 13:32Speaker 7: wanted to take He kept wanting my registration. I kept
- 13:35Speaker 7: telling him, hey, man, it's legal. I'm legal, dude, don't
- 13:37Speaker 7: worry about my registration.
- 13:39Speaker 1: And he's retired, he shouldn't be asking for that stuff anyway.
- 13:42Speaker 7: He was struggling this morning though, So but we were
- 13:45Speaker 7: recording some bits and we started, like you said, we
- 13:48Speaker 7: started advertising on there as well and trying to help
- 13:50Speaker 7: that program get bigger. And he's a character. So yeah,
- 13:54Speaker 7: we had a good time and but I look forward

- 14:01Speaker 7: a found depth of appreciation for our first responders, and
- 14:04Speaker 7: so it kind of go Hayd in the hand. I
- 14:06Speaker 7: was just at a ribbon cutting for a new firefighting
- 14:10Speaker 7: station in Anna today. Matter of fact, we had a
- 14:13Speaker 7: rabbing cutting at nine am this morning. It was hot
- 14:15Speaker 7: as you all get out, and everybody was sweating there
- 14:18Speaker 7: just trying to wait for the chief to finish out
- 14:20Speaker 7: his speech and then the mayor had to speak, and
- 14:22Speaker 7: then of course all the other battalion leaders and stuff
- 14:24Speaker 7: like that, but everybody was sweating. I was like, we're
- 14:27Speaker 7: gonna need a hose out here pretty soon to get
- 14:29Speaker 7: these people cooled off. So but yeah, we have a
- 14:32Speaker 7: really good appreciation for what our first responders do, both
- 14:35Speaker 7: police send fire. So it's it'll be fun to hang
- 14:38Speaker 7: out on that show as well.

- 16:47Speaker 1: us more waffle recipes in the break and among other things.
- 16:51Speaker 2: No, I said. I said, first of all, ego, waffles
- 16:54Speaker 2: are not waffles. They're rose.
- 16:56Speaker 5: That's not a thing.
- 16:58Speaker 2: And I called. I was like, I was not. I
- 17:01Speaker 2: was the guy you wanted to be friends with. My
- 17:03Speaker 2: refrigerator was stocked.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Oh so you had you had money, food, and a car.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I had all the triple threat, but no have
- 17:12Speaker 2: you are you? Are you guys?
- 17:14Speaker 1: I think? I think I think since you had all
- 17:16Speaker 1: three of those, that would make you uh, the quadruple
- 17:19Speaker 1: threat because you had food, money, car, which meant you
- 17:23Speaker 1: also had white women.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Yes I did, no, but I am uh And I
- 17:31Speaker 2: want to know if you guys, are are you an
- 17:33Speaker 2: I'm an uncrustable guy. That is my new thing in
- 17:35Speaker 2: the last like two years, the uncrustable sandwich get at
- 17:40Speaker 2: the store.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I've had them. I wouldn't say I'm a regular.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, then you you are missing out on I.
- 17:47Speaker 5: Haven't had one.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Okay, so you know right, No, okay.
- 17:53Speaker 2: So they're uh pre filled. It's white bread that is
- 17:57Speaker 2: like en closed, like stamped down kind of like not
- 18:01Speaker 2: like I wouldn't say, like a pie. Maybe like a pie,
- 18:03Speaker 2: but without crust. So it's like a peanut butter peanut
- 18:05Speaker 2: butter jelly. This is called an uncrustable. We're in America,
- 18:09Speaker 2: by friend, you and Frank Katy talk about what it's
- 18:12Speaker 2: called over there.
- 18:13Speaker 1: It could be a progie, it could be an banada,
- 18:16Speaker 1: it could be a samosa. Yes, but they're not fried there.
- 18:21Speaker 2: It's just white bread inside stuffed with peanut butter, and
- 18:25Speaker 2: there's grape and or strawberry. I'm a like with Dan,
- 18:27Speaker 2: I'm a strawberry jelly guy. But take it to the
- 18:30Speaker 2: next level. Put a little oil in a pan, fry
- 18:34Speaker 2: it on both signs, Add a little powdered sugar and
- 18:36Speaker 2: some cinnamon, and you have yourself some peanut butter and
- 18:40Speaker 2: strawberry jelly.
- 18:41Speaker 5: French toast a fried pie.
- 18:44Speaker 2: No, it's just French toast, but it's it's peanut butter
- 18:48Speaker 2: and jelly stuffed. And also, if you're on the goggle,
- 18:52Speaker 2: which would you like? You guys, I apparently like to
- 18:54Speaker 2: eat waffles on the go. Put one in the in
- 18:57Speaker 2: the toaster, let it, let it pomp out, and then
- 18:59Speaker 2: put some butter on both signs as you're leaving the
- 19:01Speaker 2: house and you got a grilled cheese toasted like a
- 19:05Speaker 2: grilled peanut, butter and jelly sandwich.
- 19:07Speaker 3: My favorite way to eat a waffle is with a
- 19:10Speaker 3: couple of scoops of ice cream on top of it.
- 19:14Speaker 2: Oh okay, is Gossip Girl on at the same time.
- 19:19Speaker 3: There is a place called Dali Lama. It's like d
- 19:24Speaker 3: o l l y.
- 19:26Speaker 2: They do that fantastic, Yes, they do the I think
- 19:29Speaker 2: they started in the Bay I think in California, and
- 19:32Speaker 2: then they moved down to and there was one in
- 19:34Speaker 2: my neighborhood and I thought they were giving away stuff
- 19:38Speaker 2: at this place every day. I didn't know why. The
- 19:39Speaker 2: line was longer than anything I've ever seen, and it
- 19:42Speaker 2: was for ice cream and waffles.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Well, I guess you know, if you're going to California
- 19:48Speaker 1: or Texas, that's that's not a bad way to go.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm a breakfast like I like like dough, a
- 19:53Speaker 2: little waffle, sausage, eggs, some cheese, bam, another top of
- 19:59Speaker 2: the waffle. I'm okay with that, But Lego, Ego, whatever,
- 20:02Speaker 2: whatever it was, I never had them in my fridge.
- 20:04Speaker 2: That's so.
- 20:06Speaker 1: So what do the waffles you had as a kid,
- 20:08Speaker 1: Were they like homemade your mom was making?
- 20:10Speaker 2: I wouldn't. She would make pancakes on Sunday, so I
- 20:12Speaker 2: was good with that, but I wouldn't eat there. They
- 20:15Speaker 2: were in there in the fridge, they were in the freezer.
- 20:18Speaker 2: My biological brother, the guy who's just an oddball, he
- 20:22Speaker 2: liked those, so we kept them for him because we
- 20:25Speaker 2: just kind of slid them under the door. He slid
- 20:27Speaker 2: the plate back when it was done.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Was was was he captive? I mean like it was
- 20:37Speaker 1: rounded in your house more like some sort.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Of well it was he was locked in, but it
- 20:44Speaker 2: was from the other side, so he could have gotten
- 20:45Speaker 2: out any point.
- 20:47Speaker 1: He's just dumb. So yeah, No, I grew up with
- 20:54Speaker 1: the Lego.
- 20:55Speaker 2: It just didn't cook evenly in the toaster, like the
- 20:59Speaker 2: out side would be kind of cooked harder than the metal. Like,
- 21:02Speaker 2: it just didn't. It made no culinary sense. That's what
- 21:06Speaker 2: I'm trying to say.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Lots of things don't make culinary sense, but they're still delicious.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Like uncrustables.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's true, solid point too.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Se Yeah, you're welcome. So Yeah, I grew up. I
- 21:22Speaker 1: grew up on the ego, the lego, my ego waffles.
- 21:26Speaker 1: That's one of the few things from our childhood that
- 21:29Speaker 1: I don't think has actually been improved upon. Various other
- 21:34Speaker 1: food items have been improved upon. Technology has been improved upon.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Medical advancements have come a long way since since we
- 21:44Speaker 1: were kids. I remember one time I had I had
- 21:49Speaker 1: to get fluid drained out of this elbow when I
- 21:52Speaker 1: was I think eight or nine. And the way they
- 21:57Speaker 1: did it was they they stupid brought in one orderly
- 22:01Speaker 1: to hold me down and have the person who is
- 22:04Speaker 1: going to use the super long syringe that looked like
- 22:06Speaker 1: something that my grandfather used on his cattle. They were
- 22:10Speaker 1: going to insert it into my elbow and then just
- 22:12Speaker 1: suck it out right drink. They soon learned that one
- 22:17Speaker 1: orderly was not going to hold me down. It took
- 22:19Speaker 1: four because that first dude got kicked all the way
- 22:23Speaker 1: to the back wall.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Yeah. He may have his own pencil, but he kicks
- 22:29Speaker 2: like a mule.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Yeah, even I'm sure by today's standards they wouldn't do that.
- 22:39Speaker 1: They would probably at least put a bag over the
- 22:41Speaker 1: kid's head before they come at him with a foot
- 22:43Speaker 1: long needle to drain float out of his body. And
- 22:48Speaker 1: I don't when was the last time you guys had stitches?
- 22:53Speaker 2: Oh? Boy, ninety.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Four? Okay, that's been a while.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Four. I don't think i've had now.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Was that actual stitches or was that staples?
- 23:06Speaker 2: No stitches?
- 23:08Speaker 1: Tray? What about you?
- 23:08Speaker 2: Was the last time would.
- 23:14Speaker 5: Uh?
- 23:15Speaker 1: Man, it's a long time.
- 23:16Speaker 5: Twenty ten.
- 23:18Speaker 1: Okay, So that would up until recently would have made
- 23:22Speaker 1: you the member of the treehouse to have had stitches
- 23:25Speaker 1: most recently. But for me, I had stitches up until
- 23:30Speaker 1: a few days ago. Uh, because I had this thing
- 23:32Speaker 1: on my back that when I was in Texas had
- 23:35Speaker 1: to get dug out by doctor and to close me up,
- 23:39Speaker 1: they used stitches. Right the last time I had stitches,
- 23:43Speaker 1: they were staples in my head. So I have not
- 23:45Speaker 1: had the you know, the yarn based or you know,
- 23:50Speaker 1: the thread based stitches. I have not had that in
- 23:53Speaker 1: over twenty.
- 23:54Speaker 5: Years, yarn yarn based stitches.
- 23:58Speaker 2: YEA, well exactly could I just can I can I
- 24:00Speaker 2: expound upon that tray? Uh, the based stitches that you had.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Uh, there's a reason why I've got it's from Oklahoma.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Oh was your doctor in a barn?
- 24:12Speaker 1: Uh? Look, there's a reason why I've got yarn on
- 24:18Speaker 1: the brain. It'll make that what.
- 24:19Speaker 5: They did adopted kids.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Adopted kids got barbed wire. That that that that was
- 24:28Speaker 1: our stitches.
- 24:28Speaker 2: With the Danny hit a wooden box again, break out
- 24:31Speaker 2: the yarn.
- 24:35Speaker 1: No, but I like when I was a kid, uh
- 24:37Speaker 1: and got stitches, the stitches were, you know, like thick thread.
- 24:41Speaker 1: It was almost like piano wire that they used to
- 24:44Speaker 1: close up your skin. Right. No, yeah, that's well, I
- 24:52Speaker 1: mean it was thin, but I mean so was the
- 24:54Speaker 1: high note on it, you know, a piano wire. But
- 24:58Speaker 1: then these stitches I had in my back, they were, honestly,
- 25:04Speaker 1: they felt really soft. Like usually you could feel stitches
- 25:07Speaker 1: when you were a kid, they were hard and like
- 25:09Speaker 1: they're really rough, like you could actually get somebody's throat
- 25:13Speaker 1: with one if you really wanted to. The stitches I
- 25:15Speaker 1: had recently were very soft, like It's like the stitches
- 25:20Speaker 1: when we were kids actually felt like piano wire. But
- 25:22Speaker 1: these stitches that I just had taken out of me
- 25:24Speaker 1: felt like yarn from the snuggle Bear.
- 25:31Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask this question, you know, just based on
- 25:33Speaker 3: the first two segments. Here did you and terror try
- 25:36Speaker 3: that joint? Like right before we started?
- 25:41Speaker 2: Are you nauseous? Now?
- 25:43Speaker 1: I am on nothing but caffeine?
- 25:49Speaker 2: Is that what it's called? Nothing but caffeine? It's not
- 25:56Speaker 2: mountain doobie? Is that? Is that what it's at on
- 25:59Speaker 2: the side the caffeine.
- 26:00Speaker 1: No, it's it's it's a pumpkin spice, uh coffee drink
- 26:07Speaker 1: or stop laughing at me. You guys, go cut yourself,
- 26:13Speaker 1: get some stitches and you'll see for yourself. Stitches these
- 26:16Speaker 1: days are soft now they're they're cutting.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Yes, and something dissolve on their owne Like, you don't
- 26:23Speaker 2: have to go back. Who is this doctor?
- 26:28Speaker 1: Maybe we did have different stitch materials.
- 26:32Speaker 5: When Dan got safe as a kid. They just grabbed.
- 26:39Speaker 1: A medical swing line. My doctors and when it comes
- 26:48Speaker 1: time for my doctor to write the notes, he's doing
- 26:50Speaker 1: it on a big cheap tablet.
- 26:54Speaker 2: This doctor just turns around like that's anyone.
- 26:56Speaker 1: My stapler primary doctor is a kid with doctor Milton
- 27:02Speaker 1: from off the Spaces not exued a whole lot of
- 27:07Speaker 1: confidence when he comes into the room with those big
- 27:10Speaker 1: old glasses.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Oh my lord, poor adopted child.
- 27:17Speaker 3: I'm gonna take his arm out of the cow's ass.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Kids always getting murdered.
- 27:37Speaker 6: You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse
- 27:41Speaker 6: on air dot com.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Let's get Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing into the Treehouse now.
- 27:53Speaker 1: For any and all of your plumbing wants and needs,
- 27:55Speaker 1: give her a call to one four three six eight
- 27:57Speaker 1: thirty eight thirty eight the website Brooks Plumbing, Texas. We've
- 28:01Speaker 1: talked about this before, Jacqueline, but I always feel that
- 28:03Speaker 1: it bears repeating, and that is someone trying to cut
- 28:06Speaker 1: corners when it comes to plumbing. And I will freely
- 28:08Speaker 1: admit I've been guilty of this. Our house in the Island,
- 28:11Speaker 1: we had a handyman come in do some plumbing stuff
- 28:13Speaker 1: and he completely food barred it and we had to
- 28:15Speaker 1: have a plumber come in and fix it. And that's
- 28:17Speaker 1: mainly because you don't have an office there. But that's
- 28:20Speaker 1: why it's so important that if you have a plumbing issue,
- 28:22Speaker 1: whether it's want or a need, to contact a reputable,
- 28:26Speaker 1: license bonded insured plumber for a multitude of reasons.
- 28:30Speaker 9: So let me give you an example. And I think
- 28:33Speaker 9: I'm kind of like the middle ground. We're not a
- 28:34Speaker 9: commissioned company. We're not going to sell you something you
- 28:36Speaker 9: don't need. We're not going to mark the price up.
- 28:40Speaker 9: And the expression in our office is you're selling the
- 28:43Speaker 9: sizzle and not the steak. And like I said, at
- 28:45Speaker 9: the end of the day, it's kind of about the
- 28:46Speaker 9: meat and the potatoes of the job. Did you do it,
- 28:49Speaker 9: did you fix the problem? Did you use the right materials?
- 28:53Speaker 9: And at some point in time you have to ask yourself,
- 28:55Speaker 9: if I've got two plumbers that are going to do
- 28:57Speaker 9: the exact same scope of work and one of them
- 28:59Speaker 9: is almost twice expensive, am I being sold just the sizzle?
- 29:02Speaker 9: And that's what I want to walk away from myself
- 29:05Speaker 9: is as a consumer, because I have to go through
- 29:07Speaker 9: that too, because I only do plumbing. But to that
- 29:10Speaker 9: point when you're talking about when you're no longer looking
- 29:14Speaker 9: for the sizzle, and you've moved away from the insanely
- 29:16Speaker 9: high priced people and you're looking for a really good deal.
- 29:19Speaker 9: Now what you've come down to is you're looking for
- 29:21Speaker 9: a very affordably priced plumber. But you also have the
- 29:24Speaker 9: option to work with a handyman. And like I said,
- 29:26Speaker 9: there are handymen who can come in and air quotes
- 29:28Speaker 9: fix the problem, but the question becomes do they understand
- 29:32Speaker 9: the eccentricities that we understand. So, for example, we had
- 29:37Speaker 9: a house that had been all the hot water lines
- 29:39Speaker 9: had been repiped, but they repiped it with a sort
- 29:43Speaker 9: of pipe that cannot withstand high temperatures, and so it
- 29:48Speaker 9: couldn't over a long period of time, withstand the hot
- 29:50Speaker 9: water running through it, and so ultimately the fittings on
- 29:54Speaker 9: the pipe or two sections of pipe would come together
- 29:56Speaker 9: kind of melted away, and so they had multiple leaks
- 29:59Speaker 9: all across the house after they had redone this entire house,
- 30:02Speaker 9: and it took my high license technician five minutes in
- 30:05Speaker 9: the job because he walked in somebody had already dimmed
- 30:07Speaker 9: all the walls open and they said, well, this is
- 30:09Speaker 9: the wrong kind of pipe. It can't you can't use
- 30:11Speaker 9: this for hot water. And we asked, you know, how
- 30:13Speaker 9: long did it work and they said, oh, it was
- 30:15Speaker 9: you know, a couple months, maybe a year before things
- 30:17Speaker 9: just started literally disintegrating. And they probably got a great
- 30:21Speaker 9: price for that. But the problem is is that now
- 30:23Speaker 9: they have to pay to do it twice.
- 30:26Speaker 1: So not only are you paying to get that knowledge
- 30:28Speaker 1: and expertise, that Brooks Plumbing possesses. They're going to take

- 31:24Speaker 1: for some news. A daycare provider has been arrested after
- 31:33Speaker 1: allegedly restraining children with tate.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Is this is this like the newsletter you get from
- 31:47Speaker 3: your elementary school?
- 31:51Speaker 1: All right? I think that took about four seconds for
- 31:53Speaker 1: you to tie that back into my.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Childhood yarn days are over.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Yeah. See in your schools, you got moved up in
- 32:03Speaker 1: grade levels. I got moved up in restraint materials. See
- 32:09Speaker 1: you had first grade, I had tape. You had second grade.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Yarn.
- 32:16Speaker 1: I had yarn. You had third grade. I had barbed wire.
- 32:24Speaker 1: And let's be honest, look, daycare workers they have it really,
- 32:27Speaker 1: really hard. And I can imagine if if the three
- 32:34Speaker 1: of us had ever worked in daycare, we would not
- 32:38Speaker 1: be thinking judgmentally whatsoever about a daycare provider thinking about
- 32:45Speaker 1: restraining children in various methods. Hopefully we would never actually
- 32:50Speaker 1: do it, but I think we would certainly show some
- 32:53Speaker 1: empathy and understand why one would want to do it, because,
- 32:56Speaker 1: let's be honest, kids kind of suck.
- 33:00Speaker 2: So that's what nap time it like, you just call
- 33:02Speaker 2: a nap time. Those kids are, I mean, they're like, hey, yeah,
- 33:04Speaker 2: just a juice box and some nap time.
- 33:06Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 33:07Speaker 1: See, I don't most of the I never really wanted
- 33:10Speaker 1: a nap as a kid. Yeah, most of my friends
- 33:13Speaker 1: didn't either. It was a struggle for our teachers to
- 33:15Speaker 1: actually put us down for a nap. Now. I don't
- 33:18Speaker 1: know what your teachers did, but at my adopted Kids school,
- 33:21Speaker 1: I got the blow dart in the neck, so I'd
- 33:25Speaker 1: be out for a solid hour.
- 33:27Speaker 2: I thought you guys were just tired from the no
- 33:29Speaker 2: food famine. Naps is what I think you guys called them.
- 33:37Speaker 2: No we would get we would get like a chocolate milk,
- 33:39Speaker 2: Like that was the incentive. Like, hey, we got like
- 33:43Speaker 2: gram crackers and chocolate milk. And that's if you you
- 33:47Speaker 2: gotta lay down. And if you don't lay down, you
- 33:49Speaker 2: don't get your gram cracking and like boom, everybody down
- 33:51Speaker 2: and even if you didn't sleep, everybody was till it
- 33:54Speaker 2: was done. And then you get to go back up
- 33:56Speaker 2: and play and then they would you know, louther rinse
- 33:58Speaker 2: repeat like and I think there was. It was the
- 34:01Speaker 2: very beginning and then at the end.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Yeah. And in my school that at the end of
- 34:04Speaker 1: nap time. We knew it because the teachers came back
- 34:07Speaker 1: inside smelling lake cigarettes. Or we also knew because they
- 34:13Speaker 1: woke They woke me up by putting them out on me.
- 34:18Speaker 2: It was the only day it's only daycare where the
- 34:20Speaker 2: kids have to clock in and out. That's why it
- 34:25Speaker 2: was your and you guys were busy making blankets and
- 34:27Speaker 2: such for the for the school to sell.
- 34:32Speaker 3: I imagine they'll just take a drag off the cigarette before
- 34:34Speaker 3: they put it out on you.
- 34:36Speaker 2: They were bumming from the kids, like Danny, can I
- 34:42Speaker 2: get his smokes? Like all I got his Menthols.
- 34:45Speaker 1: It's been a slow week.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Dan's Daycare, also known as Sweatshop. Uh.
- 34:55Speaker 1: This actually happened in Fairfax County, Virginia, a forty seven
- 34:59Speaker 1: year old woman arrested for allegedly assaulting two children in
- 35:03Speaker 1: her at home daycare. Officers responded on August first to
- 35:11Speaker 1: the home of Sumi Shaw. Officials say she was running
- 35:15Speaker 1: a county licensed at home daycare where she, on multiple occasions,
- 35:19Speaker 1: restrained children using tape. She turned herself in on August twentieth.
- 35:25Speaker 1: She's been charged with two counts of misdemeanor assaultant two
- 35:27Speaker 1: counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. I'm
- 35:31Speaker 1: not sure how restraining children with tape is contributing to
- 35:36Speaker 1: the delinquency of a miner unless she's giving them booze first.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Well, they treated like a a pre BDSM.
- 35:49Speaker 1: I know this doesn't make sense now, but one day
- 35:52Speaker 1: you're going to be really into this.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Your safe word is naptime. Could you spell her name
- 36:03Speaker 2: for me really quick.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Uh sure, give me one moment here it is uh wait, wait, wait,
- 36:10Speaker 1: hang on. Her last name is s h a h
- 36:15Speaker 1: Sumi s u m y shaw s h a.
- 36:20Speaker 2: People. Do you think so? Yeah?
- 36:23Speaker 1: Did your mom ever in your Indian household? Did your
- 36:26Speaker 1: mom raj ever restrain you with tape?
- 36:29Speaker 2: No, we were usually knocked out, so there was no
- 36:31Speaker 2: need to need to be restrained. She just would knock
- 36:35Speaker 2: you out cold, just kind of wake up whenever you
- 36:38Speaker 2: did and food was ready, so we're good, Like, no,
- 36:41Speaker 2: there was no there's no need to do that.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Well, it's just another great example of how of the
- 36:46Speaker 1: soft upbringing it that our children are experiencing very much.
- 36:49Speaker 2: So I'm like, you knew it was time.
- 36:51Speaker 1: For dinner because you woke up.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. And sometimes you woke up and
- 36:56Speaker 2: it was like, oh waffles. Uh, that's how long you
- 36:59Speaker 2: were out. But because some of you guys see a
- 37:02Speaker 2: rolling pin and go, oh that's how we that's how
- 37:04Speaker 2: we roll out though, and I see it, I'm like, oh,
- 37:07Speaker 2: that's what used to whoop.
- 37:08Speaker 1: My ass, I'm with you. Yeah, whenever the whenever, the
- 37:13Speaker 1: the the baking accessories came out of the cabinets. I
- 37:17Speaker 1: wasn't thinking, oh yeah, it's time for cookies. I was
- 37:20Speaker 1: taking like, oh god, it's time to run.
- 37:25Speaker 2: Oh she found my report card?
- 37:27Speaker 1: Because yeah, I mean.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Uh.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Like, uh huh. Do you ever watch the TV show
- 37:33Speaker 1: The Shield? You know how they would beat suspects with
- 37:36Speaker 1: phone books. Yeah, they learned from their mothers using baking sheets.
- 37:41Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's uh dispatchelo. Some of you guys see
- 37:44Speaker 2: that to turn over a pancake, and I see that
- 37:47Speaker 2: to turn over my ass.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Wooden spoons were not just made for stirring iced tea
- 37:53Speaker 1: in my house.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Yeah, and today, like there's still a little bit of PTSD,
- 37:59Speaker 2: Like I see a spatch, go to reach for a
- 38:00Speaker 2: spatche a lot, I'm like, oh no, I'm I'm making omelets.
- 38:03Speaker 2: I'm not trying to whoop my own ass.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Get a cold shiver down your spine.
- 38:12Speaker 2: As God intended it. Yes, assuming sha that's assume. He's
- 38:18Speaker 2: probably short for something s h a h usually is.
- 38:23Speaker 2: It's usually Godrati like the potails and shaws, and they're
- 38:26Speaker 2: all from the same region.
- 38:27Speaker 1: So that's a the region of Pe, that part of
- 38:31Speaker 1: India okay, and the region that's okay with restraining children
- 38:35Speaker 1: with tape. Yes, I mean, look, if we're being honest,
- 38:39Speaker 1: she she has other methods at her disposable. She has
- 38:44Speaker 1: other methods at her disposal that could have been way
- 38:46Speaker 1: worse than tape.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm assuming it was like a duct of some sort.
- 38:53Speaker 2: It wasn't. Probably it wasn't scotch tape. Kids can get
- 38:55Speaker 2: out of that, I mean here, I mean.
- 39:00Speaker 1: But you know what, they have a really hard time
- 39:02Speaker 1: getting out of staples.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Mixed with the orn.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Just get staple to your nap map. See, you should
- 39:14Speaker 1: want to take care. I don't know you, mister, I
- 39:18Speaker 1: can't wait. I'm sure the county can't wait to see
- 39:20Speaker 1: my application.

- 41:16Speaker 1: hang on second, I had it up? Where did it go?
- 41:20Speaker 1: M give me one moment, I will find it.
- 41:27Speaker 2: It makes sense now that you don't remember things with
- 41:29Speaker 2: the staples. It's just the rust from just that just
- 41:35Speaker 2: got into your brain.
- 41:36Speaker 1: It was I had one two three one two three four.
- 41:41Speaker 1: I think I had four or five staples in my
- 41:43Speaker 1: head back during COVID, What what Why?
- 41:49Speaker 5: What happened?
- 41:53Speaker 1: Someone make a note and I'll show you the video
- 41:55Speaker 1: of what happened. But basically the short story is I
- 41:58Speaker 1: was working out in the driveway because the gym was
- 42:00Speaker 1: closed due to COVID and the piece of gym equipment
- 42:03Speaker 1: I was using shot off the fence and hit me
- 42:05Speaker 1: on top of the head.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Yes that I don't know how we haven't. If you
- 42:11Speaker 2: pay five dollars for our Patreon you need that video
- 42:16Speaker 2: like you've earned it, You've paid into it. I can't
- 42:20Speaker 2: see it.
- 42:20Speaker 1: I posted it years ago, like the day or two
- 42:23Speaker 1: after it happened, because it also worked out as a
- 42:27Speaker 1: plug for the security company I was doing endorsements for
- 42:29Speaker 1: at the time, because you could see blood running down
- 42:31Speaker 1: my face really really well. So remind me and I'll
- 42:35Speaker 1: dig up that video and show you guys. In the meantime,
- 42:44Speaker 1: a Texas man called police after his hooker stole his money.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Is this a new Luke Bryan song?
- 42:55Speaker 1: A good idea? That's a really good idea. I'm going
- 43:00Speaker 1: to make another note on that Bran's new hit single,
- 43:03Speaker 1: My hooker Stole My Money. A high school gym teacher
- 43:10Speaker 1: in Laredo got arrested after he called the police to
- 43:14Speaker 1: tell them he'd hired a hooker and that that hooker
- 43:16Speaker 1: ran off with his money. His name is Rolando Ramos.
- 43:22Speaker 1: He's a gym teacher at sigaroa High School in Laredo, Texas,
- 43:26Speaker 1: near the Mexico border. He's also the quarterbacks coach for
- 43:29Speaker 1: the football team. Not sure why that's necessary for the story,
- 43:32Speaker 1: but they included it, so I'm going to do as well.
- 43:37Speaker 1: Police showed up and that's when he told them he
- 43:39Speaker 1: tried to pay a prostitute for sexual services. He said
- 43:42Speaker 1: the worker took his one hundred dollars and ran away.
- 43:49Speaker 1: He wanted them to track her down and get him
- 43:52Speaker 1: his money back, but instead they arrested him for soliciting
- 43:54Speaker 1: a prostitute. They did eventually find the hooker nearby. It's
- 43:58Speaker 1: not clear though, if Rolando, also known as Coach Ramos,
- 44:02Speaker 1: got his money back or not. The school that he
- 44:05Speaker 1: works for, Cigaroo High School in the Rado said they
- 44:08Speaker 1: immediately put him on administrative leave pending the outcome of
- 44:11Speaker 1: the investigation.
- 44:14Speaker 2: So she took off with his money. He should have
- 44:17Speaker 2: been the running back coach.
- 44:20Speaker 1: That's pretty sad. If you're the quarterbacks coach and you
- 44:22Speaker 1: got intercepted by the hooker.
- 44:29Speaker 2: I don't know what the It can't be sober, right,
- 44:32Speaker 2: That can't be a sober phone call, like, you know,
- 44:35Speaker 2: the hooker stole my money, so let me call the police.
- 44:38Speaker 2: I don't understand.
- 44:39Speaker 1: It is interesting to watch your run back at pick six.
- 44:47Speaker 2: I wonder if you'd just backpedaled the whole way.
- 44:52Speaker 1: It's probably good. The Dion high step right in the
- 44:58Speaker 1: end zone.
- 45:01Speaker 2: That's her own end zone dance.
- 45:02Speaker 3: Yeah, the hooker shuffle.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Actually, you know what, she could have done her own
- 45:14Speaker 1: version of the Ikey shuffle and not needed to change
- 45:16Speaker 1: the name. I feel bad for Ikey woulds though he
- 45:28Speaker 1: wouldn't able to use it again. Thanks for hanging out

- 45:38Speaker 1: with us tomorrow Inside the Treehouse for episode one Wednesday,
