And The Whistle Goes Wooo | The Treehouse Episode 95 · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:23
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the treehouse.
0:31
I'm Dan O'Malley along with Trade Trendholm and Raj Sharma on a very special
0:37
day, not just in the treehouse, but in the O'Malley house. Because
0:41
not only have we had electricity now for twelve hours plus straight, the only
0:51
thing that could put us on a higher cloud is the joy that my wife
0:59
is currently experiencing. I don't know how it is in your relationship, Raj
1:07
or Tray, in your previous relationships, but there seems to be no greater
1:15
feeling in a home than when the misses is proved right. Oh yeah,
1:26
not that the proof was necessary, but the proof is good and it is
1:30
just, and it is empowering because with every time one is declared correct or
1:40
right, it emboldens you. Right. So, now imagine you are right
1:46
hundreds of times over. You're gonna have quite a bit of confidence in your
1:52
intuition, your suspicions, all these things. Right. Now, imagine you
1:56
are right one hundred plus time's over on just one instance, and you will
2:05
maybe start to understand a sliver of a fraction of a morsel of a nugget
2:10
of the joy my wife is currently experiencing for being right. What were you
2:15
wrong about? Wait you wait, I don't like your assumption, sir.
2:30
I'll stand by it, though. This is one time you should olay that
2:35
that assumption because this, in this instance, I am not wrong. Yeah,
2:43
I mean you said it with confidence, So I am not wrong in
2:46
this instance. I am on her side the whole way through. Okay,
2:49
gotcha. So you're you're you're writing her right, yes, like a magic
2:55
carpet ride. Oh so that's an Indian Wow. Okay, I gotta take
3:02
him where I can. It's yeah. Anyways, so you guys remember all
3:09
the troubles we've had with bats, Right, that's among us bats in our
3:15
bedroom. And by bats, I mean two that we saw fly around the
3:21
bedroom on two separate instances. Right, two separate incidents of bats flying around
3:27
the bedroom. Now, wait, so you had the old place where you
3:30
had bats, and then you had the hitchhiker stowaway bat that came to your
3:35
new place. Yes, okay, yes, as further proof of the infestation
3:40
of bats in our previous home. Right, So that makes three instances of
3:52
bat interactions, right, which led my wife to contact the bat ex spurt
4:00
at the University of the Virgin Islands. They have a department I guess for
4:05
flying rodents, and they they have a professor I swear. This is like
4:12
this is like a like a like a horror movie first act where something happens,
4:17
you get your inciting incident, and to help explain it, you got
4:20
to go to the local university to find the expert that just happens to be
4:25
the expert of that thing in that small town. And that's and that's what
4:30
my wife did. She contacted the bat expert at the University of the Virgin
4:34
Islands and this morning my wife and batwoman drove to the house we used to
4:45
live in to investigate the bat infestation. So she's always scared of them at
4:51
night, my wife, Yes, No, I think she'd be you know,
5:00
afraid of them during the day when they're flying around her head at a
5:02
million miles per hour. Isn't that what they would be doing if you drove
5:05
to them. Well, you have to drive if you're going to investigate the
5:12
bats. You can't do it from you know, four miles away. You
5:15
have to actually go where the bats are. Rah. Yeah, yeah,
5:18
So Tara and the bat expert that I've dubbed Batwoman drive to the house that
5:25
we used to live, where the bats still reside, and they proceed with
5:31
an investigation into the bats. And I know my wife was right because I
5:43
heard the bats, not as loudly as she did over the months that we
5:46
lived there, but I also heard them. They were loud, and you
5:49
could tell that there was more than one. And then you had the three
5:53
different instances of bats flying around our bedroom. And so we needed the expert.
6:00
Need the expert to come out because sometimes these creatures might be protected and
6:03
you don't want to do anything that might get you in trouble. So Tara
6:10
and the bat expert go to where we used to live for the bat investigation
6:14
with the landlord. Okay, and not only does the bat experts say,
6:19
yeah, you got bats, but she says, you don't just have a
6:25
few bats. You don't have a handful of bats. You don't have several
6:30
bats, which is you know, when the treehouse is at seven, you
6:34
have hundreds of bats. It turns out for six months my wife and I
6:41
were living in a bat cave. You are badman. I'm not, at
6:46
least not knowingly. I mean, one could say, you were living in
6:54
a bat cave for years. Yeah, but that was a figurative bat cave.
7:02
Now my life has transitioned from figurative into literal living in a bat cave
7:09
wow, here on the island. So it was very interesting to uh to
7:15
hear the report back as as Tara and the university bat expert say that,
7:20
yeah, you weren't just living with like one family. I made this specific
7:26
note the I was told that they suspect the species of bat that's been tormenting
7:34
us is the really terrifyingly named velvety free tailed bat. Sounds vicious, thank
7:48
you. Trey was adorably lovable. Taken Yeah, maybe silky smooth. They
7:59
went with velvety Yeah, velvety free tailed bat. Yeah, it doesn't sound
8:03
like a menacing bat. It sounds like if Berry White was a bat y
8:09
so velvety vicious, something that might make this seem more. That's a great
8:15
pimp name, by the way, velvety vishal what's that, baby, I'm
8:20
velvety visious. That's what I'm going on. As for Halloween this year,
8:28
oh so, uh, the terrifyingly named velvety free tailed bat is believed to
8:37
be the species that was tormenting us during our sleep. And again, this
8:41
wasn't just a couple of the bats that we saw, and not just one
8:46
family, but the bat expert believes that this is a colony of hundreds of
8:50
bats, likely all to be females with their babies. In other words,
8:56
not only were we living in a bat cave, but it was a batman
9:00
tternity ward as she called it. Wow, so what is she going to
9:03
do with it? Like, how do you? Is she going to remove
9:05
them? And then the next see the next step for the bat expert is
9:11
she's now going to pull a Jane Goodall and she's going to go live with
9:15
them for a bit. Oh, so she just needs some place to stay.
9:22
Yeah, it turns out bad experts don't make a ton of money.
9:24
She just needs a place to crash. Yeah. Were they all residing in
9:31
the attic? Yes, so our suspicion. In addition to there being a
9:37
lot of bats therefore terra being right, there was also our suspicion that they
9:41
were residing in between the corrugated roof and the actual wood ceiling, you know
9:50
rafters, right, So they gap between those two, the gap between the
9:54
ceiling and the roof and that is in fact where they were, because they
9:58
even got a pinhole type camera. The landlord did this and snaked it up
10:03
in between in that gap and found what did she say, generations of batpoop
10:11
of guana, generations of guano wow in the ceiling. Yeah, generations.
10:20
That's insane. Okay, So she's gonna stay with them for a second.
10:24
Yeah. So the next thing she's going to do is she's going to go
10:28
back and she is going to observe them in their natural habitat of the house
10:35
we used to live in. And uh, and so she's gonna, you
10:41
know, observe them coming and going. Everything that Tara told her checked all
10:46
the boxes for you. Yeah, these are bats because they would come and
10:48
go at a certain time, they'd make noises. And the expert was saying,
10:52
yeah, this is you know this, everything you're saying makes sense to
10:56
when the mama bats would come and go and then come home and feed the
10:58
baby. Yeah, and they would ship everywhere. Yeah. Luckily none of
11:05
it seeped through the ceiling, so we didn't see it, although it was
11:09
really interesting. Tara was saying, as the bat expert uh climbed up the
11:13
house steps she's not also a spider woman. Tara said she could smell the
11:22
bat expert could smell of the bats. Yes, what's gonna do? What
11:28
is she accomplished by living with them? Nothing? Rent free? It's hard
11:37
to find long term rentals here. Frankly, they're quite expensive. So I'm
11:43
surprised this lady is not Indian David them indefinitely and generations of shit that we
11:52
have generations of. So uh so, again, Tara wasn't just right about
12:00
a handful of bats. She was in fact right, yeah, hundreds of
12:03
times over on one thing. And now she's basically going to be the next
12:11
villain in the Avengers franchise. That's how powerful she's now become on being right
12:18
so many times in in her life, but especially with this one exponential moment.
12:24
She's Kane's rash right. This is gonna be the next Netflix special Curry
12:30
and Guano, and you'll be right there to watch it with Daisy Dray.
12:41
She's gonna lean over one night, And like, I was born in darkness,
12:45
and I hope, I hope that that expert actually does go around telling
12:56
people that she was born in darkness. And this is the University of the
13:03
Virgin Islands. Is that what you said? Yeah, real school, it's
13:07
not. But okay, it's a real it's a real building. How about
13:11
that boy and hey, it's at least as real as Walden University. It's
13:26
right next to Debrye. That's good. I don't think I ever had a
13:31
bat program. Neither does the University of the Virgin Islands. That just sounds
13:39
like it comes with the Margarita machine. It's on the it's on the opposite
13:45
end of the island from Margaritaville. So no, it's actually yeah, okay,
13:50
so it's a it's a private island. It's nice. It's an all
13:52
inclusive it's an all inclusive university. Seven nights in a degree. Don't forget
14:05
about the shows every night. It's a place where mixology is actually a degree
14:13
in shots at the swim up bar mixology from the University of the Vision Islands.
14:20
Seriously, where was that school when it came time to look up universities
14:24
when we were all into high school. It's like that would have been the
14:26
same place it is now. Not real. It's at the table next to
14:33
Hogwarts. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at treehouse on air

W roofing and restoration specific Daniel Cook and carry Cook and you can get a
15:01
free roof inspection. And speaking of that free roof inspection, I know if
15:05
someone wants to sell their house, the roof can be a bit of an
15:09
issue when it comes to selling that property. So probably a good idea to
15:13
have you come out and look at it before the house gets listed, right

15:20
tough. We already know that the houses are you know, they have to

offer service that not many, not many companies do. We come out,
15:35
we inspect not just your roof, but we we look at your house as
15:39
a whole and we say these are some things that might come up when a
15:41
buyer comes along and their inspector comes out and looks at your house. Because
15:46
when an inspector comes out on the buyer side, they're going to come out
15:48
and they're going to nitpick that home from one side to the other. And
15:52
you have only two or three days to make a decision. How much money
15:56
you're going to give the buyer to get those things repared. Are are some
16:00
type of money back to them? And so would you not rather be on
16:04
the side of already knowing what your house looks like before you go into option
16:08
period. And that's the thing we do. We come out and look at
16:11
the roof, the gutters, the garage door, the siding, the windows,
16:15
the fence. We'd give you an analysis of your home and so that
16:18
way you know before you even put your house on the market what it looks

Network, because that's how I started the business. That's what it is.
17:47
I started it as Treehouse Podcast Network, not just singular, but a whole
17:52
network because I've got a vision. I want us to be big at more
17:56
than one show, and in order to be a network, you have to
17:59
have more than one show. We now have more than one show. Trey
18:03
Raj, I know you have met Farmers Branch police officer Steve Rutherford a few
18:10
times over the years, and we hung out with him and his wife and
18:15
other police friends at the most recent Treehouse road show at Shaker Times in Addison
18:21
for Christmas and not long after that, Steve and I started discussing the possibility
18:26
of doing a show, and I think in order to truly release this show
18:34
into the wild, let's bring Steve now. Steve Rutherford from Offbeat The Light
18:41

That's why I ask because you are a hard charger. As soon as
19:12
as soon as Steve and I started talking about, you know, doing a
19:15
show, doing a podcast, he started buying stuff before I could even tell
19:18
him what to get. I think there was that that's that studio that he's
19:23
in right now is I believe a bedroom that he kicked one of the kids
19:29
out of just so they could put the podcast studio in there. But you
19:32
know they have to learn somehow, right, Yeah, it's a real world.
19:36

19:38
Dad, he's got a podcast so Steve and I started talking about because he
19:45
is newly retired, and it's not that he's not busy, because the man
19:48

19:55

25:11
to them. You retired to do T shirts. Yeah that's pretty awesome.
25:18
I'm done. I'm done catching bad people. Yeah, but imagine, imagine
25:22
how many ideas for shirts he must have I mean, every arrest is a
25:27
potential T shirt. I don't know why you guys don't have shirts that said
25:30
what had happened was or just allegedly. I actually wanted the shirt off duty
25:38
on the bottle. I think that describes it perfectly. So how long have
25:45
you been retired now, Steve? Since January so a few months. And
25:51
how long were you with the to retire I'm assuming it's a lifelong thing.
25:56
How long were you with the police department. I was in law enforcement for
26:00
right around twenty two years. Good God, I've been doing stand up to
26:03
sink I feel I feel your pain. Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure of
26:10
the two of you, Raj obviously on only one of you have died doing
26:14
your job, and that would be you, the stand up comedian. Yes,
26:18
I uh know. I was like you you catch bad guys, I
26:22
told dick jokes. So now we get to know the tables exactly. He
26:29
gets to gets to enjoy the dick and poopy jokes as well as you heard
26:33
there in the promo. It's like they didn't they didn't waste too much time
26:36
jumping right into the bathroom humor. It's usually that's episode episode one. I
26:41
think we went to the bathroom. Yes, yep, I just I would
26:45
blame that on Joanne Joe the potty mouth. So in that first episode,
26:56
you've got Josh Jackson, a retired police officer from a few different agencies.
27:03
He's got his start in Neil Campo. I don't want to give away too
27:06
much out of Steve's show the first episode. But then you've also got Curtis,
27:11
who is a current police officer. I forget, did you guys say
27:15
what department he is with on the show? Yeah? Yeah, he had
27:18
no shame on that one. He's a very proud Panther City police officer.
27:25
But Panther City of course, fort Worth? What the what? You didn't
27:30
know that Panther City? You know what, Raj, don't feel bad.
27:34
I didn't know fort Worth was known as the Panther City until like five six
27:37
years ago. Panther Island and what Panther Island at the whole like complex over
27:45
there? Yeah, what brewery everything? Okay? Sure, does anyone know
27:52
the stories so we can tell ra or we're not just making this up.
27:56
We're not just this. This isn't a host job, Raj. Fort Worth
27:59
is known as as the as the Panther City, kind of like Dallas has
28:03
Pegasus. Oh okay, I'm in Addison, so that's like more Cougartown.
28:07
So whatever your city is made up. That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
28:18
It's right next to Trophy Wife Club first go okay, got no,
28:26
it really is. Does anyone actually know the backstory because I I don't know
28:30
it very well, but I kind of fort Worth Panthers City. Okay,
28:34
So I guess it was so hot one summer in fort Worth they said they
28:38
was so hot they saw a panther sleeping on the courthouse steps or something.
28:44
I may have that completely wrong, but it's something along those lines. And
28:47
then fort Worth was known as Panther City. Okay, wow, Panther City,
28:56
all right, yes, Panther Island. I would love to go to
29:00
Anthon Island. It's it's they're turning it into like a high end like Deep
29:04
album and it really is a thing. They're about to build like a high
29:10
rise on it. And lord, okay, at least at least fort Worth's
29:15
mascot animal is real. I mean, Dallas is Pegasus the horse with wings.
29:22
Yeah, uh okay, I didn't know. Now we do anthro eve.
29:30
Did since you you did the bulk of your law enforcement career with Farmers
29:34
Branch, did Farmer's Branch have a animal mascot? First? Yeah, express
29:45
you know, thinking about it, No, we never had anything. But
29:48
but going back to the history of Farmer's Branch, it's called Farmer's Branch now,
29:52
but way back in the early nineteen hundreds it was called Mustang Branch.
29:56
Why we switched a Farmer's Branch, no idea, but I guess if we
29:59
would kept the old name, we could have had a Mustang. That would
30:00
have been okay, yeah, that would have major police patches way cooler.
30:04
Oh yeah, would it sound a lot better? Where do you work Farmer's
30:07
Branch? Everyone thinks we're out and you know, out in the fields working
30:10
the crops and stuff, and they think your side arm is a scythe right
30:15
right, you're just off marsh. You protect god damn junior college kids cigarette
30:34
butts on the squad cars. I will say the the hardest part of working
30:41
in Farmers Branch was protecting that that building what is the over the Reathery toll
30:47
Way. Yeah, yeah, the iHeartRadio station. We were a huge pain
30:51
in your ass. Exactly. I mean, I think you may have spent
30:55
more time at our station than you did at yours. Oh high Absolutely,
31:02
Farmer's Branch is the only place I've ever seen a hospital close. It really
31:08
was interesting though, when you think about our time at the radio station at
31:12
iHeartRadio right there uf the toll way in Spring Valley. The toll way the
31:18
east side ish of the building was technically City of Dallas, but City of
31:23
Dallas on the rare occasion, really didn't want anything to do with us.
31:29
So the building was kind of in a no man's land and it just kind
31:32
of got stuck on Farmer's Branch. The irony in that is this one of
31:37
the first times Farmers Farmer's Branch police officers had to come do security for us
31:41
was because of a stalker. And then they never left. So they started
31:47
out protecting us from stalker, and then they became the stalkers themselves. And
31:52
now Steve has come full circle pulling his baby Reindeer routine, and now he's
31:59
got a show on the Treehouse Podcast Network. See see it all worked out
32:02
right? Hang around long enough, the guys would be like, hey,

away from work take a little trip. Where did you and Colby go?
33:05
We went to Memphis and we stayed at the world's largest bass pro shops because
33:12
Colby is my little redneck prints and nothing thrills him more than outside stuff,
33:17
fishing, hunting, guns, boats, whatever. But this place is obscene,
33:23
the largest in the world. Yeah, it's huge. It's got three
33:28
restaurants in it, it's got a bowling alley, the boat. Let me
33:31
put it to you this way. The boats are inside the building, in
33:36
their own channels of water. It's massive. When you walk around a place
33:40
like that, does the plumber inside you think, wow, thanks a lot
33:45
of plumbing here. No, but I frequently find myself looking at pipes in
33:51
parking garages. The last time you were in town and you were in Addison
33:54
somewhere, I parked in a parking garage and when I was walking to the
33:57
car, I found myself looking up. I'll be visited me and we had
34:00
a whole discussion about plumbing before leaving. I have no life at all.
34:05
I just eat, breathe, sleep plumbing all the time. Put all that

knowledge and dedication to work for you in your home or even your small business.

35:00
sending it, so I'm the invitation goes out to all of you. I
35:07
get these trips every I've never taken them up on it because I didn't think

it was real, because it's like we're flying out of long View. I'm
35:13
like, okay, sure you are. So I decided, you know,
35:17
a buddy of mine I grew up with, he's one of my best friends.
35:22
I was like, let's see if this is real. And it turns

37:14
Law enforcement promo that I put together. We'll see if did you catch this,
37:19

37:22
bits there? Did you catch one of them? Trey, the the woo
37:27
second talking about maybe like like the silent killer for police. And that's not
37:30
high cholesterol or heart that's flatulence in the car. WHOA Trey does? Uh?
37:38
Does that ring a bell to you? Yeah? Are you are you
37:45
familiar with uh with that noise? I am not? Whoa Steve? Are
37:52
you familiar with the woo woo? I am not. Well, I'm about
37:57
to educate you. Okay. Many years ago, in a radio study in
38:04
a radio studio far far away, we came across this little bit on YouTube
38:12
when it was in its infancy of a news report of some interesting muffler whistles
38:21
going on in Oakland, California, where all things classy are born. Yes,
38:30
so here I will now share with you the whistles go woo. From
38:35
kro N four dot com. The latest rage for kids is driving parents and
38:42
entire neighborhoods crazy. It's called a whistle tip, and it's welded inside a
38:46
car's muffler to make the car screechingly. Loud for nearly a mile. Well
38:52
tomorrow night, Oakland residents will be complaining officially to city hall officials. Crown
38:57
Force. Mark Jones has the story live in Oakland. To see nay Mark
39:00
a Pama. City residents have been told this noise is perfectly legal, so
39:04
tomorrow they hope to start the process to change the law. Nearly every muffler
39:10
shop in Oakland is installing whistler tips. It's a piece of metal welded inside
39:15
the exhaust pipes that makes the car audible for almost a mile. Tell me
39:22
about the Wizzards, the whistles got Wood? Why Why that's the only person
39:32
you can find the interview. Why I'll back this up here just a little
39:46
bit. Tell me about the Wizzars, the whistles got woo. Anybody that
39:53
has it in their neighborhood, it's going to be totally driven crazy. Well
39:59
you want to it's that whoa whoo. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
40:02
Then you got the flows the Floe Mas decorations decoration that's in. That's
40:08
all man, we do it for decorations. Yr. It was being installed
40:14
on their car. Roxanne Bruns is the high pitched tone like the squeal of
40:20
a bark train that doesn't stop is keeping her awake at night. Police have
40:23
told her it is legal. They think it's a sad it's gonna go away.
40:27
It's not going away, and it's driving you nuts. It's driving me
40:32
nuts. I work at home. Uh, I can't concentrate when it goes
40:37
on for for you know hours. Some neighbors are saying way too loud.
40:42
That's only in the moment he pulls me up cooking breakfast of somebody. And
40:45
so that's like a alarm clock. Bob Rub and Little Cis we're proud to
40:53
show it off. That needs to be everyone's ring tone for their alarm clock.
41:00
And I need I think we need to make that happen. I don't
41:04
I don't I don't have I don't have the words. That's okay, Big
41:08
Ron does, Bob Roub and Little Sis We're proud to show it off,
41:15
all right. It's bub Rub. His name is bub yeah, and little
41:20
Rub and and little Sis. H see if it actually says it on the
41:25
chiron here, it just actually call him bub Rub. Tell me about the
41:30
whistles. The whistles got woo. Anybody that has it in their neighborhood's going
41:36
to be totally driven crazy. It does, right there, bub rub whistle
41:43
fan, Oh with two bees? I'm sorry, yeah, bub rub Yeah,
41:53
that's bub with two bees. By the way, somebody asked him and
41:58
how did we spell this? Well? Actually Bub is three bees and Rub
42:01
is two bees, so a total of five bees. That's a lot of
42:07
bees. Now, now I need to see if it actually gives on the
42:10
on the on the screen, on the graphic, if it says little cis
42:14
when she comes in to say it's just for decoration, Hang on here,
42:17
it's that whoa, whoa, you know what I'm saying. Then you got
42:21
the flow decoration man, just for decoration. That's that's all man. We
42:27
do it for decoration. Yeah, yep, No, they don't put a
42:31
little cis on? Is it little with an apostrophe? I'm guessing. I
42:37
mean this was before the Me Too movement. Hey, Steve, I'm going
42:45
