Episode 17 - Is Dan Hallucinating Bugs? Maybe, But He Definitely Licked His Cat. · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:00
M welcome in again to the Treehouse along with Trey Trenholme and Alfie coy On.
0:44
Daniel Malley. Now, I'm trying to suppress my excitement just a little
0:49
bit, but it's kind of hard because I've discovered something that is borderline miraculous.
0:56
It's not exactly going to change, you know. I'm not going to
0:58
get a Nobel Prize for it or anything like that. It is certainly not
1:00
going to make me a millionaire. God I wish it would, But I
1:04
have discovered something that is extremely, extremely beneficial. If you ever have really
1:11
bad bug bites. Oh, I thought you were gonna say you finally installed
1:14
a biday. Now, then I would not have tried to suppress my excitement.
1:19
I just wouldn't have been like, guess what, man, Biddays are
1:23
wonderful. I wish they were everywhere so nice walking away after a poop and
1:29
feeling fresh and clean. See. I think it's better that biddays are not
1:33
made available to the public, at least not in the States, because because
1:36
then people would misuse them and then there would be water in bathroom floors everywhere.
1:41
That is true. You do have to be responsible as a Biday operator
1:45
because you can just turn it on and then just spray water everywhere on the
1:48
floor, and as we all know, some prick will do that. But
1:53
in other countries where bidays are common, like let's just stay with the stereotype,
1:57
like in Japan where they have all the really cool bi days, do
2:01
they have the days? And do they have bid days in public bathrooms or
2:05
do they also not trust their public? I don't know. I think they
2:07
probably would. It seems like it's uniquely American thing. It seems like,
2:14
you know, like eating tide pods, because you know, if there were
2:15
public there would be some kid who drowns himself somehow and with a biday.
2:22
H stupid kids? Or do you do you have a biday in solive to
2:27
help your your bug bites? No? No, the bug bites in the
2:30
bidday? Uh, completely not related whatsoever. With the lead up you gave
2:37
it, I thought you were talking about masturbation, I was like, wow,
2:38
you just discovered that. Are you talking about masturbating with a bidday?
2:46
You just you gave it such a lead up of you know, like life
2:51
changing. But it won't make me millions, but it's great, And I'm
2:53
like, man, how I felt discovered masturbation. Godsha, not for a
2:59
second there you were saying that you that you were going to challenge me and
3:01
say, no, you've already trademarked it is that a pun? Dan,
3:07
Did you just try and pun Trey's name to trade mark? Actually, no,
3:13
that's that's all you. That's because you have not guard up. No,
3:16
you have your guard up against the puns or the word play. Sorry,
3:23
I know what to expect from you. Pardon me if if if I
3:28
am a little antsy, no pun with the bug bites, a little antsy
3:32
that you might throw out puns, I still might I still I look,
3:38
look, Alfie, I'll be honest with you. I live to disappoint you.
3:43
I know. No the uh, I'm sure. I'm sure you guys
3:46
have experienced awful bug bites like I'm talking about something, you know, I
3:51
don't mean necessarily painful, but just crazy itchy, whether it's an ant bite
3:54
like you mentioned, Alfie with aunts um serviously, there are. Up until
4:01
recently, I thought I thought chigger bites were among the absolute worst because they
4:06
itched so bad, and also because a lot of times when you get those
4:11
chigger bites, they usually end up in really sensitive areas and it looks really
4:15
bad if you're walking around someplace, like if you're Alfhae at the mall and
4:17
you're constantly scratching your groin and telling people it's chiggers. How do bugs be
4:24
getting you in your crotch? Well, if you're rolling around in the grass,
4:30
I mean, that's what happens y'all. Y'all are rolling around bare ass
4:33
naked in the grass. Not in a really long time. But how do
4:39
they get all up in your crotch? Though? Is what I'm saying.
4:42
If you sit in the grass, you see. This is why I don't
4:46
do outside. This is nope, nope, well wait wait wait wait,
4:51
because I before, before you go off on some sort of outside tangent tray,
4:58
are you, are you familiar with Alfie's aversion to outdoors. Not really,
5:04
It's mostly based in reality, like uh, like he's he's, he's
5:09
I've you know, Terry and I, before we moved, we would invite
5:12
Alphie, you know, to go camping and be like, no, I'm
5:15
not doing that because you know, wild animals and things. Yeah exist.
5:17
Again, not to take it back to the days, but indoor plumbing exists.
5:21
Why would I go somewhere where there's not a place to poop, you
5:28
can let alone a place to poop with air conditioning. And and Trey's kind
5:33
of cut from that same cloth. Alfie like, I've we've invited Tray out
5:36
to go camping before, and he's like, is there air conditioning? No?
5:39
Well then I'm not going. All right, I'm fine, and I
5:42
don't blame you for it, um, But we've still, you know,
5:46
going outside in Texas, eventually you're going to run a foul of some type
5:49
of you know, insect bike typically mosquitoes, right, and those those bikes
5:56
really, you know, typically aren't that bad. But where we live now,
6:03
on an island in the Caribbean, twenty two hundred miles away from Texas,
6:06
there's there there are additional insects to be wary of. And specifically they're
6:14
called noseums. What they look like little like super tiny mosquitoes, and they
6:20
have absolutely, by far, if there is a scale of itchiness from from
6:28
a bug bite, they got to be at the top. I can't think
6:30
of anything that's ever bitten me that was was itchier than a noseum bite.
6:36
A noseum, yes, as in you can't see it yes, did you
6:44
just make this crap up right now? No, it's real. Really,
6:48
this sounds like this sounds like a stupid plot device in in Avatar. What
6:54
was it? Unobtainium. It sounds like one of those things. Oh it's
6:59
a spooky mist gold bug you cannot see. But you're right, I remember
7:05
maybe that. I think that's part of the reason I never finished Avatar once
7:09
they said we we have to find more unobtainium. Like, really, that's
7:14
the name you came up with for for the substance that centers around the whole
7:17
plot. Oh god, this is not what y'all got. That's what y'all
7:24
got hung up with an Avatar. I never heard of it. I never
7:27
watched the movie. Like I heard the plot and I read that that they're
7:30
mining for unobtainium, and I was like, you know what, I'll just
7:33
go watch Terminator two again and remember remember James Cameron the way I want to
7:40
when his best dialogue written for film was I'll be back. Yeah, exactly.
7:44
That hits the spot. It it's perfect in its simplicity. But you
7:49
know, unobtainium in the writing. That's what happens when you focus all your
7:54
money and all your efforts on the visuals. You just let the writing go
7:57
to the wayside. Anyway, Sorry, this fake bug that you're talking about,
8:01
it's not a fake bug. No cems are real. Look, Tray,
8:05
you were here not that long ago, did I forget? Did you
8:07
get some no sem bites? No, you never even met you even never
8:11
mentioned anything like that, because he's sand fleas. But the only thing like
8:16
sand fleas, it's the same thing. It's the same bug, sand fleas.
8:18
No sms uh, like you know, nat to the beach nats or
8:24
whatever they're called. But bugs are they? Are they? Please? Are
8:28
they nats? Are they mosquitos? NAT's an unusual side. Well they are.
8:33
They're just really really tiny, so it makes it hard to see them.
8:37
Can you see them or not? How do you know that you're getting
8:39
bit? Occasionally you might feel it, but you really don't know for a
8:46
day or two that you got bit by a no sum based on the wealth
8:50
that comes up and the extreme level of itchiness. You know, cannot oversell
8:54
this enough how itchy these bites are? Dan, I believe you're now no
8:58
cms or deafly a real thing. Will you point out on this doll where
9:03
the no SEMs hurt you. Wow, yes, I will ankles, feet
9:11
toes and behind my knees. This sounds like you have a rash, Dan,
9:16
and you see a dermatologist. It's not a rash. Trust me.
9:20
This is okay. If it's a bug that you don't see and you cannot
9:24
like do you have eggs ema or something like that, and you just blame
9:26
it on this mystical, mythical bug, you know it's real. Google it,
9:31
it's a real bug, and you like look up no SEMs and then
9:35
you can, you know, see like the bites that they leave, and
9:37
it takes like two weeks for the bites to finally go away. It's terrible
9:43
when when when Tara's dad was here visiting, Uh, he didn't spray any
9:48
bugs bray and he got them all up and down his back and he was
9:50
talking. He couldn't sleep very well for two nights because they itched so bad.
9:54
But the reason why I'm so excited, what's up? Is it not
9:58
like ringworm or something like that, Because it sounds like a rash that you're
10:01
spreading, Dan, It's not a rash, it's bug bites, super super
10:07
itchy bug bites. So I was trying to look up different treatments. Right,
10:09
It's like, okay, what can I do to make this better?
10:11
There's got to be something to do to make this itchiness go away. So
10:16
the first thing I saw was like, take benadrol. Okay, fine,
10:18
I can take benadrol. That's fine, I'll do that. But then I
10:20
also saw something that's supposed to help with the itchiness. And this is true
10:24
for apparently all itchy you know, bug bites, so mosquitoes, no cms.
10:28
I guess it would work for chiggers as well. Is you do cold
10:33
packs or cold compress one to help reducing sort of swelling and some and I
10:37
guess the cold was supposed to help with you know, the itchies. So
10:45
what I did was they also mentioned like a cortizone thing like for bug bites,
10:48
like a steroid like little ointment or something. And I used to have
10:54
that, but it didn't really work. But what I did have that I
10:56
decided to try it was a tube woman urine. No, that's a myth
11:01
that that that doesn't actually work. Have you tried it? No? Well,
11:05
this mythical uh tincture of human hurine might work really well on your mythical
11:11
bug dan, I tell you. What if you ever get a bite like
11:15
that, find someone to piss on you, but don't call me. No,
11:18
no, I'm saying you're the one. You're the one that's always getting
11:20
afflicted by these awful, awful bugs that are definitely real. If you come
11:26
to the Caribbean, you will experience it. Deal. I'll be on you
11:28
if I go to the Caribbean. No you won't. That's gonna be a
11:33
really funny vacation video for somebody is watching you chase me up and down the
11:37
beach. Come back, let me pee on you. Hurry, I'm dad.
11:39
I've been drinking. They don't want it to go to waste. I
11:45
can only hold this for so long. I don't as Yeah, oh god,
11:50
that's awful. No, So what I what? I what I decided
11:54
to use that I had a lot of because because I have back problems is
11:58
bio freeze. So it's like the roll on bio free stuff to stuff.
12:03
You shake it up and it's got the little on the tip and you just
12:05
you know. So I decided I'm gonna take the cold thing that that that
12:07
the that Google told me to try, and I'm gonna try bio freeze.
12:11
Yeah, I thinks. Isn't it just like light of cane and bio freeze.
12:16
I'm not sure if there's actual light of cane in it, but it
12:18
definitely makes wherever you put it cold as hell. So I used my old,
12:24
you know, grown man logic. It's like, okay, Google says
12:26
you use cold things. Well, here, I have a substance that is
12:31
really really cold when I put it on. So I'm gonna try this so
12:33
I could apply it directly to the bug bites, right, and it worked.
12:37
Bo It's amazing. Is it that same role of bio freeze, that
12:41
same tube of bio freeze that you stole from my desk at the radio station.
12:46
Perhaps, Yeah, that's what I thought us. Roll up, it's
12:50
not. It's not a felony or anything. I kept it within the states.
12:54
No. In fact, me saying me saying that you stole it is
12:56
probably a mislay bling. It's probably a little misleading because you walked up and
13:03
used it, and I don't want that no more exactly, And that would
13:07
be my defense in court. He said he didn't want it, so to
13:11
me meant he gifted it to him and walk up and stick my finger in
13:13
your mashed potatoes. That happened to me in middle school dessert. No,
13:20
there was actually a kid who would go around and he would because I guess
13:24
he was always hungry, so he'd go around lick his finger sticking in people's
13:28
food and say you're going to eat that? And they, of course would
13:31
say no, and then he got a you know, free lunches out of
13:33
it, until one day he came by my table, licked his finger stuck
13:37
at my mashed potatoes and said, are you going to eat that? And
13:39
I said, yeah, get your finger out of it. And then he
13:41
never bothered me again. He bothered a bunch of other people, but he
13:46
never went back to me. Yeah, I was gonna eat that? Was
13:50
he the poor kid? I don't know. I don't think he was doing
13:54
it out of hunger. I think he was doing it because he was an
13:56
a hole. Oh well then if you're hungry, maybe he's also. Maybe
14:01
he was an ahole because he was hungry. I don't know. Yeah,
14:03
he could have just been poor Dan. You couldn't have been given him your
14:05
taters, Well he could have just he could have just said, hey,
14:09
I'm poor and hungry, he can I have that? Would that would have
14:11
you know, had a better chance, because then he has to admit that
14:13
to himself. He has to admit that to himself in a bunch of you
14:16
know, middle schoolers. So it's just easier to bully people into the mashed
14:20
potatoes. Yeah, it's a defense mechanism, Dan, And you couldn't just
14:24
give him give him some taters. No, I don't like bullies. So
14:30
anyway, bio freeze on bug bites change your life. Thank you, You're
14:37
welcome. I'm telling you this is this is a home remedy, and I
14:39
researched it after the after the fact. It's been like, I'm on day
14:43
three now of using bio freeze on these bites and they're almost gone, whereas
14:48
before they would last for like two weeks and they would itch like crazy for
14:52
days, days in a row. Yeah. The bio freeze is menthol like
14:56
mentholatum or whatever the hell. Yeah, so it's good and cold act works
15:01
on the bug bites. It'll reduce swelling and things like that. I get
15:03
it probably probably overloads your nerves there with a little bit of kind of cooling
15:07
sensation, so it ignores the pain. Just so remember that next time you
15:11
get like you roll around and you know, in a bed of chiggers or
15:16
an ant hill like with fire ants or something. Get get you some bio
15:20
freeze. Use that and you can thank me later. I'm good. See
15:24
And you know one of our listeners are gonna get crabs and try this.
15:28
That's on them. This is not a medical show. There are no doctors
15:33
anywhere in this treehouse, not anymore because most of them are in prison.
15:41
You're in the treehouse. Sweet Dan, O'Malley and Alfie Koy joined again with
16:03
our friend and sponsor Rodney Anderson. Good afternoon, Rodney, Good afternoon,
16:07
Dan. Your phone number, I know you know it, but not everybody
16:11
else does. It's new to some of us. Nine seven two fifty two
16:15
hundred. That is the number, nine seven fifty two hundred. Let's talk
16:18
about something uncomfortable for a minute. Let's talk about divorce. Not yours,
16:22
not mine, none of that, but everybody else's You handled divorce situations quite
16:26
often? Are you seeing that a lot right now? People having to do
16:30
cash out refinances or buying a house due to divorce. Yeah. One thing
16:33
that never seems to go away is divorces. Some of the busiest people out
16:37
there are courts and divorce attorneys. In fact, we have a ton of
16:41
divorce attorneys that refers their clients to do like you said, either cash out
16:47
or buy a home. We had a client that was referred to us by
16:49
a great divorce attorney just yesterday. They owned a home or six hundred thousand
16:55
dollars. They didn't have a mortgage on, but they were getting divorced and
16:59
they have this split up the equity in the property. So life was keeping
17:03
the house and so she is doing a cash out refinance for three hundred thousand
17:07
dollars to pay off her ex husband. So we offer cash out refinances to
17:12
pay off part of the equity in the home. We also offer refinances because
17:18
many times the judges will require that the spouse keeping the home has to refinance
17:22
out of the current loan. And so we'll do those situations and then on
17:27
the buy side. Let's face it, one house turns into two homes,
17:32
and we're doing a loan for a couple right now, they're getting divorced,
17:34
they're selling their house, it's getting ready to close, and then we're doing
17:38
both loans for them. When it comes to buying, here's what people need
17:41
to understand, divorce is complicated. You've got to hold your hand. We
17:47
have to hold your hand walking through this whole thing because you need to know
17:49
all the rules. Do I have to be officially divorced before I can buy
17:52
a house? What is the process? There lots of questions and we just
17:56
tell people pick up the phone. Whether it's you love one of family member
18:00
or a friendless going through a divorce and needs our service. In the situations,
18:06
yeah, it can definitely be overwhelming. Here. You just heard a
18:07
number of examples that Rodney has dealt with throughout his career, and it's important
18:11
to know that he can help you through that process. Like he said,
18:14
he hold your hand, walk you through all of it. It's already a
18:17
daunting situation you're involved in, so you're gonna need some expert help, and
18:21
that is Rodney Anderson. It's who we use here in the Treehouse for all
18:23

19:10
You're in the treehouse with Dan O'Malley and Alfie Corner. I wish it wasn't,
19:23
but today's just been a weird day in our house, is it?
19:29
Because you've been hallucinating bugs? Now, now those are very real, and
19:34
those bites that didn't get them at the house, that was that was at
19:37
a bar uh outside the house. That's why you don't goss that I had
19:45
to deal with no uh no, no cums or whatever you're calling them.
19:52
Well, that's because you know, that's because well that's all. That's because
19:55
you've never come here. Uh yeah, but I mean you're gonna have the
20:00
hallucinations wherever you are, Dan, what kind of bar are you going to?
20:07
Where you getting bitten like that? Well, I don't want to say
20:11
it because it's going to reinforce Alfie's argument. But outside ones, I ain't
20:18
got no magical, mystical hallucination bugs in my house, not unless I've been,
20:23
you know, eating some funny things. But not the point. The
20:27
point is is going outside, that's where you get bit. You ain't gotta
20:30
worry about no bug bites going you know, going to the bathroom watching a
20:34
movie on couch. Hmm that Russ Feller, he had it right. He
20:38
had it right, although up to end, including his untimely demise no we
20:52
can go ahead, Tray know we circled back around to therapy. God,
20:57
no kidding. I googled these these bugs. Are you talking about Sarah tapo
21:06
Gana day? Uh? Sure, it says uh Sarah tapo ghana day as
21:11
a family of flies commonly known as no sums, which is see, I
21:17
didn't make this up. It's a really dumb name. I'm sorry, it's
21:19
it's a stupid, stupid name. I'm not arguing that biting midges generally one
21:26
to three millimeters in length, it says here, I think trade dated a
21:30
chick with that name on midge or bing Serado, Serato, Pagana day.
21:40
Nope, that's her. It says they're everywhere. It says that they exist
21:45
on all like all land except for arid deserts. I never experienced them.
21:56
I never experienced them in Texas, and I've got, you know, plenty
21:59
of mosquito bites and other bites from bugs in Texas. But here here on
22:03
this island, the noseums thing are a real, real bitch. Yeah,
22:07
I've I've never heard of these before, but their bites are painful and can
22:12
cause intensely itchy lesions. See, their mouthparts are well developed for cutting the
22:18
skin of their hosts. Let's see. Like other blood sucking flies, no
22:25
sums can be vectors of disease causing pathogens. Among the diseases transmitted are parasitic
22:30
nematodes. You got any nematodes? Dan, I hope not. You got
22:33
mansonella? Is that Italian mansonella? Oh it's not a lunch item? No,
22:45
you got that? Okay, you got blue time? I don't think
22:47
so. No, you know you don't got bluetongue disease? No I'm good,
22:52
pretty red. What about Uh, you got African horse sickness, which
22:57
I don't know why they didn't call it zebra sickness. Whatever, No,
23:02
kiddie, you got that. I don't think so I have no stripes.
23:07
Okay, you got epizootic hemorrhagic disease, magic fever, you got arbo virus,
23:18
you turn into a tree. Oh, I thought that was the virus
23:22
that has all the meats, not as the right kind of stupid. I
23:33
loved in that. I loved in that instance, Alphie, you actually laughed,
23:37
truly laughed, and Trey looked ashamed. Oh you have the meat.
23:51
I'm done for today show, so I'm out of my own eyes. Anyway,
24:07
I was actually going someplace eventually with that, which was it's been a
24:11
weird day around the house. Um. So, Alphie, you no longer
24:17
have a cat. You kind of you you were kind of taking care of
24:18
one for a little while. And Trey, you have a cat. You
24:22
have Julius. Um, but Alpha, you still may have an answer to
24:26
this question. Where is the weirdest place you have found? Cat vomit?
24:30
Uh? Cat vomit? M hmmm. Uh. The cat did puke once,
24:36
but it was just like kind of close to where I feed it.
24:38
That's about it. Though I ain't never seen nor heard of no cat vomits
24:45
because I don't own any cats. Although I will say I went to one
24:48
of my friend's house this past weekend and she is adopting, or I guess
24:52
fostering, a bunch of kittens, and um, two of the kittens were
24:59
wonderful. I had had enough allergy meds to where I could pet it and
25:02
not to worry about too much. And you know, there's not a ton
25:04
of dander on them when they're you know, just a few weeks old.
25:10
And it was a joy holding those kittens, just petting them and having them
25:12
fall asleep and all that stuff. But one of them, one of them,
25:18
the little bastard wearing a blue bow tie. This little bastard had the
25:22
most disgusting, awful, nasty kitty farts ever. It was horrendous. Imagine
25:32
like a cloud of thick, rotten lunch meat just attacking you, just attacking.
25:38
And the worst part is, of all three kittens, this little guy,
25:41
he was the most curious, you know, he was the one that
25:45
would explore the most. So while the other two kittens they'd be, you
25:48
know, just hanging out in their little cat blanket or whatever. The third
25:53
guy, the one of the stupid blue bowtie, he would get up in
25:57
your face. He would hop up on the table, climb up on you
26:02
whatever, whatever you were doing, he would want to be involved in it.
26:06
And while he was there, he would just let up just the nastiest
26:08
gross fart. Oh it was awful. The d did this kit can also
26:14
do what a lot of cats do, which is they get up into your
26:17
face and then they immediately turn and you get the be hole. Oh yes,
26:21
immediately he's like, obviously you'd like to see my taint right now,
26:26
I'll go ahead and lift my tail and show you everything I got going on
26:30
and look at that. There you go. And then while i'm here,
26:32
I'll just I'll just go ahead and drop a little one of hold on,
26:37
pull up the sounder. That's for you, buddy, right there. Yeah,
26:41
that's yeah, nothing like a cat that can talk out of both ends.
26:48
It was gross, dude, And like you, you, you wouldn't
26:52
see him for a bit and so you'd forget about the fart. And the
26:56
first time I smelled it too, I was like it was that somebody or
27:00
was that the cat? Like I didn't want to immediately like call attention to
27:03
it, because then I'm gonna get blamed for it and be like, oh,
27:06
yeah, true if he was the cat. But the second or third
27:11
time it happened, I had I had enough. I was like, what
27:15
the f is that it? The best descriptor that I could find for it
27:19
is thick rotten lunch meat. Like imagine some like hyper thick cut turkey breast
27:26
or something like that that has just been sitting out in the sun in the
27:29
back of a pickup truck for two to three weeks and you open up the
27:33
container that it's in, and that's that smell. I don't know what in
27:37
God's name that cat had been eating, but it was spawn of the devil
27:41
type stuff. I will say this because of you know, growing up with
27:45
cats, having cats currently their kittie pooh is some of the most sour,
27:52
just ranked smell there is. And I will say this my experience with with
27:57
with cat fartstead apparently you got dealt alfie is. I don't know if I've
28:03
ever truly experienced it that because yeah, like I said, the other two
28:07
kittens perfectly fine, adorable. It was wonderful. You could pick them up
28:12
and they didn't have like super sharp claws just yet. Like they had the
28:17
thumb claw that would pop out every once in a while, and that mother
28:19
was a razor sharp. But they just, you know, adorable little kittens.
28:25
And you can sit there and you pet them. You kind of pet
28:26
them, not not hard, but you just kind of give them a firm
28:30
pet, kind of simulate the mama cat, like you know how you do
28:33
with your cat. Damn with the tongue. You got the tongue thing.
28:36
You know, I'm talking about you right one time? Now, did you
28:38
still do it right? It's therapeutic for your cats. Can you fill me
28:42
in on this please. You don't have it with you. I honestly don't
28:55
know where that that tongue thing is. I'm hoping it's still in Texas in
29:00
a box in a garage. So I found at one point Trey a therapy
29:07
device because Dan's one of Dan's cats is a little neurotic. Is it Warren?
29:10
Is he the neurotic one? Yeah? Yeah, And we're looking online
29:15
to kind of, you know, help find some sort of remedy for that.
29:18
And one of the things that I found was an appendage. I guess
29:22
it is the best way to put it. It's a simulated mama cat tongue
29:32
that you, as the cat owner, put in your mouth and it hangs
29:37
out of your mouth and you walk up to your kitten and it's a silicone
29:41
tongue with like bumps on it, and you just rub it against the cat
29:45
and do like a mama cat thing. It's supposed to help with it with
29:48
anxiety in animals, in this case, specifically cats. Alphee. I really
29:53
want to see your search history when you quote unquote just stumbled upon this.
29:57
I found I found it by searching cat anxiety remedies. So he was doing
30:04
it. The guys of you mean only pause. It's sold on Amazon here.
30:14
I'll link it to you if you want. I think I can go
30:19
the rest of my life and I have an artificial cat tongue. You say
30:23
it couldn't Dan, Yeah, Dan could not? He the call of the
30:26
fake cat tongue. Uh, what's too much rope? Oh my god,
30:32
I forgot you put this on TikTok Okay, you gotta send that to me.
30:38
Let me see what can I play this? Oh? Please tell me
30:41
I can play this book. Click there. Yeah, okay, I don't
30:48
want to log in, just let me let me see a stupid thing.
30:52
Which, by the way, when I posted this on TikTok, I believe
30:56
this is still my most viewed video. Is this like a teaser video for
31:04
Only Dan's I hate you? I hate this show. I hate this facade
31:18
of a treehouse that we've built. It all feels like it's crumbling around me.
31:33
Okay, hold on, I'd love to say it was. I only
31:37
did it for the show, and so that's what I'm gonna say. I
31:41
only did it for the show. Okay, sure, So I bought one
31:45
off Amazon and then tried it on the cat as it was intended. Dan
31:56
down. What Dan's rubbing it against the cat. He's lying down on the
32:09
concrete. Weird, Oh cats enjoyment. I didn't think. Don't come he
32:24
liked it? Oh my god, oh chess from now so the little dog
32:36
came over wanting zum as well see her. No, no, no,
32:42
no, it was it was purely for the Don't act like that's out of
32:44
the realm, like a cat. What are you trying to accuse me of
32:50
having no standards? I'm just saying you go both ways. Don't be ridiculous
32:54
trade This is a cat tongue, only the dog tongue got delayed. And
33:01
ship. By the way, Trey, if you want, Alphie was kind
33:09
enough to post it in our general tab if you want to see it.
33:13
Okay, let's say kind enough, But in reality, I mean giant a
33:17
hole. What's your TikTok so people can find us? Like most of my
33:25
social media, it's at the dan O'Malley. Ah, I'm glad you're on
33:34
TikTok. One because I ain't gonna be I don't mess with that. And
33:37
two because that way the world gets to experience this. Oh you know you
33:45
got Sometimes you gotta gotta make sure you reach out to the younger demographic and
33:53
this was the way that I chose to do it. I think we just
34:01
lost Trey. I'm not sure where you're end today. Hopefully he's not on
34:07
Amazon ordering one for himself and his cat say in a wonderful that's did you
34:15
find it? I found it? And it looks like those like big red
34:24
fake lips that you would get like like almost like mister potato head. It
34:29
didn't has a big tongue coming out of it. Yeah, with studs like
34:31
wax Yeah yeah, ribbed for his pleasure. The cat is a boy.
34:46
I could hear the regret and Dad's boys anyway, I had a weird morning.
34:53
Can y'all believe that we were the show they got rid of? Yes,
34:59
yes I can't. It was my idea. It's Dan O'Malley and Alfie
35:07
Cord. We are joined once again by a new friend, a new sponsor
35:22
of the Treehouse, Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing Texas dot Com. Good afternoon,
35:27
Jacqueline, Good afternoon. How are you guys today? Doing very well?
35:30
Thank you. So we've spoken a little bit before and we found some common
35:35
ground, and that is we here in the Treehouse hate scams, and you,
35:39
as the owner of a plumbing business, also hate scams, especially those
35:43
in the plumbing industry. So I'm wondering if you can give us an example
35:45
of a big scam that's in your plumbing industry that we need to know about.
35:50
I'll give you two really quick. Personally, it's a pet peeve of
35:53
mine. If you hire a plumbing company and they come into your house and
35:58
they say I can do the job for you for X amount of dollars.
36:00
But if you pay ninety nine dollars today right now, and join our Friends
36:05
and Family plan or the recurring service plan, whatever they want to call it,
36:10
no matter how they call it. In my opinion, I think that
36:14
it's a scam because if they'll say, oh, you pay ninety nine dollars
36:16
today, but that'll bring your total for the repair that I just quoted you
36:21
down by X amount one hundred or x amount of thousands of dollars. If
36:24
they're willing to go down on their price just because you pay a one time
36:27
fee fifty dollars ninety nine dollars, even if it's a recurring monthly fee of
36:30
twenty dollars, that means that their bottom price is actually that lower one that
36:35
you would be getting. You don't need, in my opinion, to join
36:38
that plan. It's it's just fluff. It's just another way for people to
36:42
pad their pockets. Now. Secondarily, the other biggest thing is that you
36:45
have a warranty on most of the fixtures or things in your house, like
36:49
your water heater. So something happens to your water heater, your plumber,
36:52
the first thing they should say to you is, let me look at the
36:53
warranty, let me pull that serial number, and see if these materials are
36:58
under the manufacturer's warranty. It could be would be they could be getting those
37:01
replacement parts sent to them by the manufacturer and then charging you for them despite
37:06
the fact that your materials are still under warranty. Faucets come with warranties,
37:09
water heaters come with warranties. Depends on where you get it, of course,
37:13
but that should be the first thing that your plumber is checking on for
37:15
you. Don't pay extra for something that should come at no cost to you.
37:20
That's the bottom line. And there you have it. There's two great
37:22
examples of scams that I wasn't aware of. I'm not sure if you know
37:25
anyone else in here was, but now we know, and so now you
37:29
know what to be on the lookout for. Or you can just do yourself
37:30
a huge, huge favor and only call Brooks Plumbing. It's really simple.
37:34

40:04
You're in the treehouse, switt, Dan, O'Malley, and Alfie Koy.
40:13
Anyway, I found cat vombit on top of the refrigerator this morning, not
40:19
because of anything I did. See. Alfie, you had mentioned that when
40:28
you had your cat, your cat would sometimes puke next to its food bowl.
40:32
Yeah, I found puke next to its food bowl once, So that's
40:36
kind of what happened to me this morning. So I don't normally spend much
40:40
time above the refrigerator. Um, but that's where we keep our binoculars.
40:46
Has like the binocular's case. We keep that on top of the refrigerator,
40:50
next to the sort of like the kitchen cabinet. So it's us sitting there.
40:54
Why do you got binoculars just sitting there? They're in a case and
40:59
okay, conected, that's not the point. Why are they sitting on top
41:00
of your fridge? Because I don't want any of the animals, you know,
41:05
uh, grabbing it and eating of them. Okay, but okay,
41:08
I think you're missing my point. Why are binoculars in a location with such
41:14
easy access? What are you doing? Are you spying on people? Yes?
41:19
Well no, So here's the thing though, Alfie. So we have
41:22
these really big windows right off of our kitchen. Right so there's like the
41:25
kitchen and there's like a like a like a little dining table, and then
41:30
next to that is the sliding glass doors that go out to the balcony in
41:32
which case it looks out, you know, onto the ocean. And we
41:37
got these binoculars a long time ago, really good ones. Actually got it
41:40
from Sheelds so we could see whales out in the water outside our window.
41:47
Okay, haven't seen any whales yet, but that's what we initially bought them
41:52
for. Um. But like I did see I did see a naked dude
41:57
once. That's exactly what I was calling you and tear us sit there with
42:00
the binocular its going tear Kamar some dudes hanging doll. No, I think
42:07
it would be more like tal because he has that cat tongue in his mouth.
42:21
Once again. No, So there was something going out. There was
42:28
some commotion out in the water today. So I went up to grab the
42:30
binoculars and I grabed the binocular case and I pulled it off the top of
42:35
the refrigerator and cat vomit falls off the side of it. We U say,
42:38
cat vomit? Is it not just like flake pool of cat vomit?
42:42
Or is it liquid? Still? No? This was thankfully, this was
42:45
more solid. It was almost like the other cat, not not the one
42:49
that I've liked. You've never given ZeVA the business. No, it would
42:58
bring the two of you closer together. And that's why she's throwing up.
43:00
She's chucked. So anyway, I mean, I get a little revelatory show
43:13
by the way you once again admit to the world, because like last time
43:19
when you when you did it on the air, we're just localized to DFW
43:22
only DFW. Really could hear you at the time that you were broadcasting saying
43:28
that that you licked your cat with the prosthetic tongue? Now its global?
43:34
Does sound that really does sound weird? Out of context. You've seen the
43:37
map that we have of all the downloads that were getting all around the world,
43:39
right there's dudes in Denmark listening to this. There's dudes in Japan listening
43:44
to this, and they're going, man, what the f is wrong with
43:45
Dan? Not only do fight all their trouble, Sudan is on the map
43:50
yep. Not only is he keeping his binoculars on the on the fridge top
43:54
like a like some sort of rear window creeper, but he's licking. He's
44:00
licking his cat before he does it. So I grabbed the binocular case and
44:05
like some dried food, vomit falls off of it. And that's that's the
44:07
reason why we keep them in the case. And uh so I get up
44:13
on a step stool and I see there's a nice big pile of cat vomit
44:16
next to where the case normally goes. But similarly to your situation, Alfie,
44:22
the reason that it was up there was because that's typically where we feed
44:24
the other cat, because that's where the other cat can go to get away
44:28
from the other cat. I see, because that's why I has an attitude,
44:35
because you've licked it, it's superior. No, no, Trey,
44:38
it was the opposite. The cat had an attitude, So so then I
44:42
licked it. Hopefully I really got to stop talking about it. He feels
44:47
like I'm making it worse. You are anyways, licking the cat was supposed
44:53
to help the situation. Well I haven't. I haven't stuck with it.
45:00
So maybe with some consistency. I don't know what you feel awkward, mainly
45:10
because I didn't expect him to like it, because I really thought he was
45:14
going to scratch my face off. So you're feeling vulnerable, yeah, and
45:22
I'm not comfortable being quite that vulnerable. Then you probably shouldn't record it.
45:32
Well, see I didn't. That's that's where that's where holy matrimony plays a
45:37
very big role, because when you're dow vows, it's like to have and
45:42
to hold sickness and in health richer for poor when you're looking a cat.
45:49
See if you noticed that part's not typically in the vows, but at any
45:53
opportunity, I think perhaps for a strong relationship, it's important to record your
46:00
spouse doing embarrassing things to hold them accountable. I was gonna say, you'd
46:04
better, h you'd better put that in your vowel, your vowel, damn
46:07
it, your vowel renewals. Next time you and terror renew vows, say
46:14
Hey, no more hilarious tiktoks of me looking looking anything other than barn animals.
46:22
I really feel like that's covered under the umbrella. It's better for worse.
46:30
Yeah, I think I think maybe it should be, because I'm not
46:36
sure which one it is. Well, it depends if you're herd or the
46:39
cat. Uh. This is another reason why technology has gone too far.
46:52
Once we have the ability to record our spouse is doing shockingly embarrassing things and
46:57
then sharing it with the world, it just it's just really unfair. I
47:05
got terribly unfair because I'm quite sure if they had recording devices twenty five years
47:10
ago, i'd have to be I don't even know if they let me on
47:15
the island. Why what did you lick twenty five years ago? Dan?
47:22
You've already beat down Trey on his exes for the last three weeks. You
47:27
couldn't cut the man a break for one week. No, I am where
47:31
this is where I have a nice It's called alcohol alcoholism, Dan, I
47:36
don't remember. Well, that's not fair. You're taking all the good excuses.
47:44
Yeah, what's your excuse? Dan? You was stone cold sober when
47:46
you were licking that cat. You're right, I was but it's why I
47:54
drink since and I don't think it really helps at all. But is it
48:05
just to get the taste out of your mouth? Don't mind me, I'm
48:16
gonna go pull. A star is born out in the ocean. Follow all
