3:20
He knows, he knows when to splurge. Yes, but he also
3:23
brings. But he also brings the cheese in his backpack. It's not like
3:25
he's ordering it, He's brought. He brought the cheese from home. Uh
3:29
No, even back in LA because I'm smart. Uh no, even like
3:38
that was the thing, Like even in La. Like we when he when
3:42
he was it is currently it's super successful. We're like, why don't why
3:46
don't you do this? Why don't you do this? And his I loved
3:49
his answer every time. It's like, why I don't, I don't.
3:52
I don't need to do that right now. I don't need to do that
3:53
right now. His business managers were like, we you have to do something.
3:58
You have to buy something because you're gonna end up paying so much in
4:01
taxes. You've got to do something with this money. And he's like and
4:03
by when they told him like, this is how much you could lose if
4:06
you don't. He's like, oh okay. The only thing I've ever seen
4:10
him go crazy on our shoes. There was one room I think that was
4:14
just boxes of shoes. I do, I do? Uh. I actually
4:18
just got rid of about ten twelve pair of shoes and I'm and I'm rest
4:21
restacking now. Oh yeah, because I'm growing down my shoes. I'm buying
4:27
a lot of insoles these days. I'm buying good insults. Do you have
4:30
a sketcher's endorsement in the works? Tell you something. If Snow can get
4:34
one, I should be able to get on skees parroll. So let me
4:41
do a quick rundown of what I can recall off the top of my head.
4:45
Because your credits list tone is long and distinguished. Insert joke here.
4:53
Uh. I mean I've done a lot of mini series, a lot of
4:56
mini Wait have you done a lot of many series or just TV shows that
5:00
were short lived? Series that were many? But I say mini series.
5:06
I think I like the twist. I think that works in your favor.
5:09
You should stick with. Some people want to do ninety episodes and get rich.
5:12
I'm like, give me thirteen and I'm moving on. Well, I
5:18
like how you treat your career like you treat your women. Yeah, that
5:26
is that is very true. That is that's right. I forgot you.
5:28
You are a domestic now, so yeah, yeah, a quick rundown of
5:31
your credit. So we've got most recently are you you're not mentioning it.
5:36
I'm going to mention it because I don't know what you're allowed to promote and
5:39
not promote because I strike the show that I have on Netflix, but you
5:43
can absolutely say the title of it. Yeah. Yeah, the new show
5:46
on Netflix is at Survival of the Thickest, correct. That is that?
5:50
That which I'm not promoting if you watch it because it's out current streaming on
5:54
Netflix. I'm not promoting The new show on Netflix is out, and I
5:59
definitely would not ask you to promote it. I just want to make sure
6:00
I make sure that that I mention it because you're in it and you're damn
6:05
good in it, and yeah, it's really very You're you're you're damn good
6:10
and everything get bastard. So that's the most recent thing you've also, I
6:14
mean, let's see, uh, drink Masters, which drink Masters? Thank
6:18
you Drink Masters, which is also on Netflix. You are the host of
6:23
Drink Masters. Congratulations on that. All right, what else so we've got
6:29
I remember when you first moved to La you got a was it a Miller
6:32
like commercial? Yeah? First thing, I have a book, which which
6:36
I thought was super ironic because when he was living in Dallas, he was
6:40
working for annheuser Busch. So he quit Anheuser Busch and his first gig in
6:44
LA was for Miller. I did not quit. Oh that's right. I'm
6:48
sorry, I'm sorry. Correct me, please, yes, you're right.
6:51
They let me go. You took the package. There was not another package
6:57
to take. I took yet it was that or good fired. But I
7:01
did appreciate and I didn't know this, uh in the very beginning when when
7:08
when I first met town, we started hanging out and like all of us
7:11
would go out to the bars and stuff. I was like, man,
7:14
he is he must be killing it at Anheuser Busch because he will just buy
7:18
drinks for everybody. I'm like this, man is this Not only is he
7:23
brilliantly talented, he's very funny, he's also like very kind. And then
7:28
like one time we were at the Regal Beagle many many months later, he's
7:32
like yeah, and he's like, oh, you can just put it on,
7:35
just put it on me. And I'm like, you know, you
7:36
don't have to. We're cool, Like everybody's good now, Like you don't
7:40
have to. And he's like, no, no, no, this isn't
7:42
I'm not paying for any of this. And I was like, I have
7:46
to spend his money. Yes, he had to spend a certain amount of
7:49
money on promotions or whatever and buying drinks as long as it was an Anheuser
7:56
Busch product. And even then he'd kind of like finagle his way around that
8:01
a little bit, but he was it was true to that. I was
8:03
like, wow, that is uh. He was doing well and he was
8:07
getting people to to buy it, so for them to let him go.
8:11
But I also found out that they had beer. They had taps in their
8:13
office, like you could on on front be if they didn't. Yeah,
8:20
I just didn't know. Yeah, but I didn't have to go to the
8:24
office ever. Really, I stopped buying me now and then, but I
8:26
didn't have to go to the office. No, Yeah, there were there
8:31
weren't taps in the office. Plus we had we had some crazy wee could.
8:35
I think I think it was every I don't know if it was every
8:37
two weeks or every month. You could go by the distributor to go pick
8:39
up two cases. Just feel like, you know parties or what I mean,
8:45
you can just go for Yeah, and you gave me the cooler grill
8:52
combo. That was one and the same thing. That it was a cooler
8:56
when he wanted to be a cooler and then a grill when you needed to
8:58
cook out. Yeah, we weren't supposed to say that, Rod, you
9:01
weren't supposed to have that. I think we now know why you had to
9:07
take the package. I gave a lot of stuff away that should have been
9:11
for clients and I okay. So in between Survival of the Thickest, which
9:20
is currently on Netflix that you are certainly not promoting, but I'm just mentioning
9:24
it because it's out there, and in between the Anheuser Busch gig and Dallas
9:28
and starting comedy in Dallas, then you booked a Miller Light spot. In
9:31
between those, you had a work Wife, which is a television movie,
9:37
a movie called Horror Noir where you played Marcus, a black lady sketch show
9:41
appearance in the movie the United States versus Billy Holiday, which which I think
9:48
the last time we had you on was to help promote that American soul as
9:54
Richard Pryor. Yeah, episode of BoJack Horseman, Sylvie's Love, the Tea
10:00
V series fam that's one of your miniseries. Then another film where you had
10:03
had a wonderful supporting role in the movie Little Then the Weekend Dog Days,
10:09
which is damn you. Tone is one of the few times I actually cried
10:13
in a movie theater. That goes to show you how good of an actor
10:18
you are is Terrace sent my wife sent tone of texting you made Dan cry,
10:26
black Ices, Black Ice, disjointed with Kathy Bates, who you're still
10:30
friends with, Woman Child blacked out a short My Time, Your Time,
10:33
Good Fortune, the Flash television show, Hell yeah, that was back when
10:37
that show was good You. You made your appearances on their Truth be Told,
10:41
Bad Judge. All right, I'm out of wind, but so far,
10:43
I think I think your greatest credit right now tone the thing that the
10:48
next time you hit the stage or do a late night appearance and they say
10:52
you might know Tone Bell from all these projects. Your your biggest credit needs
10:56
to be those curtains behind you in your house. Okay, I feel like
11:01
I feel like that is accomplishment because I know how excited you are to buy
11:05
that house before I was so ruly interrupted by technology. Uh, because I'm
11:16
a classy broad. Now that's a valance, Dan, A valance. I'm
11:20
sorry, a valance. So I apologies. I think you own that.
11:24
I mean, I like people associated the curtains with Johnny Carson. I think
11:28
you can own that. You think you think I should just keep this here.
11:31
I think you should take that on the road with you. But this
11:35
is one of those things where like, if I ever have to call the
11:37
police, they're gonna be like, you don't live here. And that's why
11:43
it would be wise to start taking it with you. So people see when
11:46
you're at City Addison improv or at Dallas Comedy Club this weekend, you hang
11:52
it behind you. So people when they see that hideous valance, they see
11:56
you tone bell. So that way, when the inevitable happened and the police
12:00
show up at your house wondering why you live here, you'd be like,
12:03
Oh, it's oh, it's that guy that that's totally his. Some people
12:07
have logo. Some people wear a chain some people have a certain style.
12:11
Yes, I'll roll with a balance. Yeah, just say you know you're
12:16
bringing Decatur with you. Nobody from home. Nobody from home is accepting this.
12:26
I would also like to point out this is the perfect time to plug
12:28
the YouTube channel, so if you're listening audio wise, you can see you
12:33
can see these balances overtone shoulder inside his very very gorgeous hill country mansion.
12:41
Yeah, hideous balances. You can just find us at Treehouse on air on
12:46
YouTube. And it's a balance, Yeah, balance it is. It is
12:54
not only is it a beautiful mention, it's a it's a very nice ranch,
13:00
which I would never in a million years of knowing Tone would ever say
13:03
that he would own a ranch and that his best friend would be Jerry.
13:09
Uh is, No, it's it's Jerry and his wife live next door.
13:16
They're the sweetest human beings you've ever met. And that is legitimately like a
13:20
Tone sits on a porch and and and drinks with an old, old white
13:24
man. If this is not a movie, someday, I don't know what
13:28
I mean. Literally, when I hang up, I'm going over to hang
13:31
out with him. Likes that's what we're doing. Fridays. Man, when
13:35
I'm not busy on Friday, I'm going because he don't call me in a
13:39
minute, he's gonna be like, what are you doing. Let's gonna have
13:39
a drink. He's it's my guy. Man. He does right across the
13:43
street. He's eighty six, he just turned eighty six, and we kick
13:48
him like three four nights a week. Man, it's my it's my guy.
13:50
He and his wife we just get So You've got Tuesdays and Wednesdays and
13:54
Fridays with Jerry. You have no idea. I be out of town and
14:00
I catch him on the camera walking around and make sure the property is good.
14:03
Like he just he just m yeah's he's amazing. Man. Last year
14:09
for their anniversary because they've been married sixty seven years now, yes I got
14:13
sixty six, been married sixty sixty years t shirts and so they warm out.
14:18
We all went to go see a band last year for the for their
14:20
anniversary, and so they do. They still go out and kicking man.
14:24
I mean now, it's hard because every now and then you go, hey,
14:26
man, I should not be riding with this dude. Yeah, when
14:33
you when you it's a beautiful interaction. When when I first met them at
14:37
your house because I saw them at the roast the night before. But when
14:41
I met them at your house, Uh, it was like, I don't
14:45
know who's adopted whom, Like it's the it's the sweetest, like it's the
14:50
sweetest relationship you can see people like, it's it's so it's so kind,
14:54
Like there's just so much joy in watching the two of them, the three
14:56
of them talk. I'm like they tones adopted them. I'm pretty sure it
15:01
kind of sounds that way. We get pedicures together every like three four weeks.
15:07
We go, Linda makes an appointment, we go down. We just
15:11
we go grabbing margarita. Afterwards, we were like, go have wings and
15:13
watch again. We watched the open the night last night. We watched the
15:16
game together last night. And speaking to seeing friends, You're gonna be seeing
15:20
a lot of friends as you headlined Dallas Comedy Club this weekend for Tone.
15:26
Do you know all the ticket info? Roger? Do you know off the
15:28
top of your head? I know I'm there the fifteenth and the sixteenth,
15:31
two shows on Friday, two shows on Saturday. Have no idea what the
15:33
ticket price is because I don't pay for him. But but but I'm working
15:39
on I am molding this new hour right now, so like so you'll get
15:43
this chance to see the stuff that that will be eventually on a platform.
15:46
And I probably can't promote yet, but yeah, yes it is. You
15:50
can call two one four eight one four nineteen eighty or Dallas Dash Comedy Club
15:56

16:00
and clicking by tickets. It's probably twenty five is thirty bucks tickets somewhere in
16:04
there in that region is my guests. I don't know for sure, but
16:07
two and four eight one four nineteen eighty and Dallas Dash Comedy House dot com,
16:12
Dallas Dash Comedy Club dot Sorry, Dallas Dash Comedy Club dot com.
16:17
But make sure I get that crash. Oh. I remember the thing I
16:18
was I was gonna mention before we let you go, tone and that is
16:22
that if you don't have a show in mind yet with you and Jerry,
16:26
some type of depiction of it, you need to do that because obviously you've
16:30
got tons of content there and ideas to from, but it needs to come
16:34
from Tonebell Productions. Do you have a production company yet? I do.
16:40
It's called Bertie Pie Productions. And h yeah, there's we are going to
16:44
do something. I mean, Jerry is I mean you should see people look
16:47
at us when we go because he takes me to an airport sometimes he often
16:52
picks me up and people are like, man, how did they how did
16:55
they know each other? Yes, this is it's it's very And I treat
16:57
him like he we're the same age. And I think that's why, you
17:00
know, we just get along. Well. I just I don't treat him
17:02
like he's eighty six. I just treat him like he one of my boys.
17:04
Man, and we just we just bust balls and like it's it's super
17:07
fun. And so yeah, eventually we do have to figure something out,
17:10
and and I need to figure it out quick. Yeah you do. Yeah,
17:12
yeah, you want to make sure. You want to make sure that
17:15
he gets to see, you know, the fruits of his friendship with you
17:18
come you know. Yeah, yeah I have. I have a few ideas
17:22
of mine. I'll pitch them to you next week when you're here this week,
17:23
when you're in here, Sorry, is that is that? Is that?
17:26
Is that a bad thing? Is that something that gets on your nerves?
17:27
Tone? Because I'll be honest with you, I have ideas for you
17:30
know, like like TV shows and things audio things as well in the world
17:34
of podcasting. That's why I wanted to see if you have a production company,
17:37
because if if, if I got ideas, I want to run them
17:41
up your flagpole because I think some of them would be good, because I
17:45
think I think maybe a's prequel. I think I think maybe a prequel to
17:48
the Equalizer films, uh starring a starring Tone Bell would be very And you
17:56
know what, I'd like to point out that was just off the top of
17:59
my head, I got other I mean, did you did you inavertently call
18:02
it the prequelizer again? That's exactly what I called it. Despite all the
18:10
Internet issues we've had trying to get this episode recorded. I'm glad you heard
18:14
that line that I said, the prequelizer series. Yes, I mean,
18:17
I mean, if it's about him not being able to fight yet and save
18:19
people, I'm all in. I think I think with you, it's exactly
18:23
Yet you have to go through it's the origin story where however, the CIA
18:27
finds you, yes, and they have to train you. So it's basically
18:32
just uh thirteen episode running you getting your ass kick. He's real, real
18:37
bad up top. Yes, but here's the thing. Jerry was the original
18:41
CIA agent. Uh, and he's now had we trained you and then the
18:47
bad guys killed Jerry and you, then then you have to learn all the
18:49
skills he doesn't. Yes, but he's terrible. He gets an ass kick
18:55
a lot and uh but he's but he's very, very charming and funny.
18:59
Okay, well they oh see once. If nothing else, we can always
19:04
just do a reboot of Get Smart with tone. We need to do something.
19:10
I'm all in for the prequelizer. That is the greatest name in the
19:12
movie history. I mean, I think it will work. That's that's it's
19:18
gonna be its own franchise. You're gonna be busiest hell man, man,
19:23
hope they'll strike in soon. We can get back to work because because these
19:26
bills don't pay themselves, they don't. And I imagine that you have plans
19:30
to make sure you put a valance like the one that's behind you in every
19:34
room of your of your house. If y'all don't think I'm sending all three
19:37
of y'all a valance, I'm getting everybody getting everybody people getting for Christmas from
19:45
now on. And that's you know what, that's gonna be amazing looking when
19:49
someone tunes into the Treehouse podcast on YouTube and sees our backdrops all with tone
19:55
Bell valances. Yeah, it's not gonna reflect you. It's gonna be this
19:56
one right here. I'm gon replicas of this one right here with a little
20:04
TV signature in the corner of fact. When you're in your car and it
20:07
gets hot, instead of putting a little mirror thing in the windshield, you
20:11
put this in the windshield. Tone Bell car shields. That's how you know.
20:19
That's how you know when tones remodeling is the gifts you get, like

well, then you are super humble today. My friend pool listening to
21:30
the Treehouse, visit us online that Treehouse on air dot com. Let's get
21:41
Rodney Anderson into the Treehouse now. His phone number is nine seven two nine
21:45
eight five fifty two hundred. Very important phone number. You're going to need
21:48
that. And the website also important, Rodney Anderson dot com. So Rodney,
21:52
let's start with this. Self employed today? Are those that want to
21:56
be self employed? Do they have cash out refinance options available to them?
22:00
So let me walk you through this stand. We have a lot of people
22:04
that currently own businesses. Their businesses are thriving, but they want to invest
22:10
in their business. Or we have somebody that has a full time job and
22:15
they want to start being self employeed down the road, but they need some
22:18
capital to raise money and so we're seeing a lot of people do cash out
22:22
refinances just for that. I'll give you an example. We had a gentleman
22:26
that owned a commercial property and he went to his bank to get a loan
22:32
for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. They said, no, we're not
22:36
lending much money right now, so we're not going to do that. Well,
22:38
him and his wife, their home was worth one point three million dollars.
22:41
They only owed two hundred and fifty thousand on it. So we did
22:45
a cash out refinance and gave them the money that they needed. That it
22:49
was going to be a lot better interest rate than the commercial loan because the
22:52
bank wanted to charge of nine percent. And then we had another another client.
22:57
They had full time jobs. They want to invest in a franchise.
23:00
Well, the franchise cost up front was one hundred thousand dollars, so they
23:04
went to their bank to get a small business loan. The bank declined them,
23:08
so we did cash out refinance for them and gave them the one hundred
23:12
thousand dollars so they could go and do that. So if you have good,
23:15
excellent credit, a lot of equity in your home, we talked about
23:18
getting out of debt most of the time on cash outs. But just imagine
23:22
you can invest in your business or start up a new business. It's a
23:26
pretty amazing thing to take all that hard work and effort and money you've put
23:30
into your home and take a little bit out to invest in yourself and to
23:33
your future. And Rodney Anderson and his excellent team can help you do just
23:37
that. Give them McCall nine seven two nine eight five fifty two hundred nine

24:26
out all the technical difficulties with tones Country ass Internet but I, uh,
24:34
it did not give me an opportunity. With all the little the drops and
24:37
stuff of distractions, I did not get the opportunity to make a mention rag
24:42
of your microphone that looks an awful lot like an Angels dick. Yeah,
24:47
I you know when I when I got it, I wasn't on, Like
24:51
there was no visual thing happening. So it was just a really good mike
24:56
and you couldn't see me. And now now that I see it, like,
25:00
yeah, okay, this is uh but it's it's it's yeah, it
25:03
is described accurately. It's it's it looks like it's very angelic and phallic at
25:11
the same time. It looks like something Benny Hinn would use or Benny Hill,
25:15
one of the two either you're either one of those two would use this.
25:22
ROJ You realized that reference is so lost on probably eighty percent of the
25:26
audience. Yeah, but the twenty percent that get it will drive their car
25:32
off the highway. That absolutely is a Benny Hinn style microphone. And then
25:40
also there also is a halo around that phallic looking thing in front of Rog's
25:44
mouth. Trey, I saw you looking at your watch a couple of times.
25:48
You need to get going soon. No, I was just it was
25:51
getting me an alert that I've hit my stand goal for the day. I'm
25:56
sorry, what, so you're apple, you have different It gives you like
26:00
you have rings that you try to close every day, and there's like an
26:03
exercise ring, like you're gonna burn eight hundred calories, you're gonna exercise for
26:08
thirty minutes or judges it by your heart rate, and then it's a stand
26:12
goal of that every that for a certain amount of hours every day that you're
26:17
going to stand and be moving for at least a couple of minutes. Oh
26:21
that's yeah. That one's new to me because I've got like mine is the
26:25
is a garment deal, so it's you know, it's an activity tracker,
26:27
so I'm familiar with how many steps that they want you to get each day
26:32
or how many activity minutes that you're you know, being tracked on. But
26:34
mine does not have the stand goal. Well just because standing you have to
26:41
be told to stand? Well, yeah, it does it give you an
26:45
alert, Hey, you've been sitting a lot today, Time to stand up?
26:48
Actually, yes, it will every at ten minutes till the top of
26:52
the hour. If you haven't stood that hour, it will give you an
26:53
alert. And you say that this is but think about all of the c
27:00
and the people who sitting in office and they don't move all day because there's
27:03
a there's a new Netflix special, Yeah on living to one hundred, and
27:07
this guy travels around a different you know area the world where people have,
27:11
you know, a much greater longevity than we do. First episode. Just
27:17
just two things before you finish your thought. I don't think with the obesity
27:22
issue in the United States, I don't think alerts or the issue. I
27:26
don't think if they were alerted to stand more, they would. I don't
27:30
think that's the case. I think they need to be motivated on their own
27:33
first. I think in general, I think if you're like you know what
27:37
I don't. I'm not an active person. I don't think a watch uh
27:42
make you go you know Today's you know it's telling me to stand. I
27:47
would take If I was that person, I would just be motivated to take
27:51
this watch off. Uh. You can know he wants to be a hundred.
27:55
Nobody why would you want to? Well, if you have a quality
27:59
of life like like that's all your friends will be dead who hang out with
28:06
younger black guy. And then you know, you see when you say it,
28:11
it sounds criminal. It sounds like gonna abduct the black dude just to
28:18
hang out with. You know what's good? We should probably help Tray finish
28:19
that sentence. What he means is finding younger black guy that moves in next
28:25
to you, that you befriend and now your best friends and do everything together,
28:27
like tone with his neighbor Jerry or his neighbor or yeah, go you
28:33
get the idea. Yeah, he's across the house, across the street.
28:37
And when I say across the street, it's a very it's a very small
28:41
street. It's two lanes, and but the driveway is for tones places.
28:47
When we were going to for his birthday, we've done the roast and we'd
28:51
had another day that we did something else, and on Saturday we went for
28:55
the roast, and then it was the uber was taking me to his house.
28:59
She's like or driving up the driveway and she's like, do you want
29:02
me to drop you off here? And I was like, first she stopped
29:04
at the front, so I do want to drop you off here? And
29:06
I was like, absolutely not. It is it's one hundred and eight degrees
29:10
and I'm I'm not doing that and to walk, yes, exactly. My
29:17
walk alert hasn't started for the day. The heat stroke alert might have started
29:22
outside it, but no. And we got up the driveway and she's like,
29:26
where where? How how much further? And I'm like, you can
29:29
keep keep going until you see door, until you until you see that it's
29:33
round about that turns into the in front of the house. I'm like,
29:36
now we can stop. It's like, oh, that's that would have been
29:37
a long walk. I was like, that is correct, and so that
29:41
would have got my ten thousand steps I know, is it's still ten thousand?
29:42
They keep changing it on people. I don't know how many steps are
29:47
supposed to get, fairies. I think it depends on the celebrity trainer that
29:49
you ask. Although Trey, I'm with you. See, I'm fine.
29:52
I would love to live to one hundred. No, if I have if
29:56
I have a good quality of life, Okay, yeah, that's I mean.
30:02
And you're now okay, go ahead. You're assuming everybody around you is
30:06
also living to a hundred. Well, luckily I don't form strong attachments with
30:08
others. Robots good to know show we're on look, I love you guys.
30:22
Okay, but if you you know, and I would love to I
30:25
would love to be you know, ninety eight ninety nine years old, and
30:27
the three of us, well, I guess you guys would be over one
30:30
hundred at that point if I make it to ninety eight nine. But basically
30:33
we could be we could be the you know, the one hundred club in
30:37
the treehouse, and it's just it's just three really really old guys still talking
30:41
about stupid stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what the age like,
30:45
I'm my knees hurt. Now, look I'm good, like I'm like
30:48
like if it was like, if it was my time to go, I'd
30:52
be like cool man, I did some really interesting stuff. But don't get
30:55
me wrong, if I make it to one hundred, everyone of my joints
30:57
is going to be more mminiscent of Wolverine than it is. If I will,
31:03
I will be rebuilt. We have the technology. Yeah, I don't
31:08
like I there's I was watching something similar document not to Live to one hundred,
31:12
But it was a documentary on the oldest person and he outlived all of
31:17
his children, and then all of his friends and then every everybody, Like
31:21
he was married twice everybody, so he didn't know anybody. I'm like,
31:25
I don't want to Like that sounds not fun. I don't want to know.
31:30
Okay, here's the here's all I'll say. I don't want to make
31:30
new friends at nineties. At ninety nine, mmm, I don't want to
31:37
meet I don't want to meet new people. That. Yeah, I don't
31:38
want to meet new people. I don't want to start dating at ninety six.
31:42
I don't. I don't think most people want to start dating after forty.
31:47
But yeah, I just I just don't want to. I don't know
31:52
that. I don't see the appeal. I'm like, just like, sixty
31:55
five seems good. I don't know. I don't know sixty five. I'm
31:59
like, seventeen away from that, I'm solid. That's good. I've seen
32:01
enough Summer Olympics India doesn't qualify for anything. Okay, Like, I'm good,
32:07
I'm not gonna you know, all all the jokes will have been written
32:10
by then, and AI was taken over. So so Trey, what was
32:14
the secret in the show? What was the Netflix documentary called It's called something
32:20
like Living to one hundred? And what did they say? The secret was?
32:22
Well, so I haven't even finished. So, like I said,
32:25
the first episode, the guy went to Okinawa, where they have four times
32:30
likely a chance to live to be one hundred and a greater quality of life,
32:32
less disease less all. Let's briefly, let's keep it in context.
32:37
It you can live to one hundred and equal and you can live to one
32:39
hundred in Okinawa now, partly because we're no longer bombing them, yes,
32:45
And that's actually one of the things that they say, because they're One of
32:49
the things is that their diet is this like purple sweet potato. That was
32:53
something that was one of the few things that was abundant after World War two,
32:58
and but that's a big part of their diet and they say it helps.
33:00
But one of the biggest things they say, and you know it goes
33:02
back to standing and everything else, is that they sit on the floor and
33:07
so they are up and down, you know, all their lives. And
33:12
that's one thing that we get very sedentary, and you don't. I mean,
33:16
they're probably most sixty year olds can't even touch their toes. Oh I
33:22
can't touch my toes with straight legs. So you're saying, both my hamstrings
33:27
would shoot across the room. If I tried that, The secret if I
33:30
get this, if I get this right, the secret to live into one
33:35
hundred is criss cross apple sauce. Can you sit? Can you sit criss
33:42
cross apple sauce? I can. I can sit in yoga posh. Most
33:45
people can't lotus position. I can do that. So it sounds to me.
33:50
Then I was like, you're going to live to be a hundred?
33:52
I will, I will end it? Is going to live with a one
33:55
hundred and fifteen, I'll, I'll end it. Ill if I see,
34:00
if I see my trajectory getting that way, I'm stealing a plane and I'm
34:02
finding a mountain. That's all. That's going to be your story for every
34:07
single day post sixty five is you trying to find a way to kill yourself,
34:14
but the universe and other people find ways to stop you. Yeah,
34:17
that's that's my movie, Unwilling. That's another one of the projects that we
34:22
need Tone Bells Production Company. Unwilling to Live to a hundred. It's basically
34:30
the opposite of of of you know, the road Runner and Coyote. Yes,
34:36
yes, every you're trying, you're trying to rocket yourself into the side
34:42
of a mountain. But there comes the road runner just to to like pinch
34:45
out the the actual tunnel. I'm driving full speed at the at the looks
34:52
like a tunnel, and then it turns out it's a tunnel. We saved
34:57
him again, Everyone put, I just don't want to start every story with
35:01
I had a friend named Dan once, Like, I don't want to start
35:06
what happened him? Well, they're all dead. What do you mean I'm
35:07
on fifteen, Like the seventy year old that I'm talking to it is about
35:13
to die from this story. I don't know. I don't know. I'm
35:17
good. I'm not sixty five. I'm out. I'm just like you guys.
35:22
All right, well we well remember that. So Trey, when when
35:25
rage hit or right before rage hit sixty five, we'll put a help wanted
35:30
sign in the three house window sixty listen to me sixty on my sixty fifth.
35:37
We'll have a party on my sixty fifth birthday. And then when we
35:39
come to log onto the show and you're like everybody copy and then you don't
35:44
see me, like yep, it'll just be a black screen with a little
35:47
candlelit. Right they're sat you're listening to the treehouse. Listen us online that
36:13
treehouse on air dot com. Eight three three. Cook DFW is the phone
36:25
number four Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. That's eight three three cook DFW the
36:30
website cook dfw dot com. So, Daniel, I'm curious as a homeowner,
36:36
what should I look for in a roofer. Well, first of all,
36:38
you should look for a logo that has cook DFW embedded in the center
36:43
of it and it's through out of the state of Texas around it. So
36:45
if you find that, you are good to go. No more further passes
36:50
at any other searching you need. But let's say for some reason you are
36:54
out there and you see some signs from another roofing company or somebody says another,
37:00
then there are several things you need to research. One are they local?
37:04
Do they have a storefront? Are they going to be here? Are
37:07
they a part of the community. Are they just passing through from state to
37:10
state and they're trying to find some roos to do because they can go down
37:14
to home Depot or lows and find some guys that can put the shingles on
37:16
and they can go buying from the store down you know, somewhere else.
37:20
So those are somethings. Are they BBB? Do they have that accurate you
37:23
know, you know, affiliation with BBB making sure that they have been trusted.
37:28
Those BBB guys, they're like a lot of people overlook that, but
37:30
they background check you. They make sure that your business is valid. They
37:35
take any complaints and they and they address those. So if if the company's
37:38
not BBB endorsed, that can lead to some other big problems. And then
37:42
are they insured? Do they show a copy of their general you know,
37:45
liability insurance? Are they bonded? You know? And what kind of cruise
37:49
do they use? How long have they had the same cruise? What are
37:51
they capable of doing? You know? What materials do they use? Are
37:53
they able to allow the warranty to get transferred from the manufacturer? There are
37:58
so many things that you need to do search on before you allow somebody to
38:01
work on your very expensive investment, which is our homes. Our homes are
38:05
worth so much money now, so why would you risk blowing it and having
38:09
more problems? I don't know, I can't get it through my head.
38:12
Man. It's like riding a tract or drunk, right, I mean,
38:15
why would you do that? It's just to give the moose. But no,
38:17
we're talking about at home here. We can't do these things in our
38:21
homes. What Daniel Cook is saying is if you if you see his name

39:09
I could use thirteen thousand dollars. I'm probably just going to turn around and
39:14
invest it somewhere because life is expensive, or honestly, nowadays it might go
39:16
to my property taxes. But I entered and I was accepted a couple of
39:22
months later, which came as a complete shock because I have a memory issue
39:24
and totally forgot I had registered. And it's gonna run for the think the
39:29
next nine weeks. Right now, I'm in first place in my group,

who you are familiar with? I am. I was around him once many
40:21
many years ago at a radio event and my boss was making googly eyes at
40:25
his girlfriend or wife, and for some reason, mister Hotter thought I was
40:30
the one doing it, so he gave me the ultimate Jason Vorhe's stare down
40:35
and my boss at the time just thought it was hysterical that he wanted me
40:39

41:29
were you just practicing your your standing from criss cross apple sauce position, Because
41:35
one of the things you do every single week that we record is like right
41:40
now, Roji's doing it. Right now, We're looking through his camera and
41:44
always see is the microphone, the ceiling in and the television off to the
41:47
side, but no Trey. And then all of a sudden he just look
41:52
pops up. Yeah. Hello. The first time I think I said it
41:59
out. The first time I thought I was like Tray fell because it looks
42:04
like if you like, you'll be there. And then I'll look at my
42:06
phone to see messages or emails. I'll look back, I'm like, oh,
42:08
got Tray call. Well I still and this goes this goes back to
42:16
the days in the studio Dan with is I still stand when we're doing these
42:21
recordings, and so like sometimes we're in between recordings or whatever, I sit
42:25
down, especially days like today we're just tired, and so yeah, then
42:30
it looks like I fell down and then pop back up. But the good
42:34
you are getting back up, that is the important thing. Yeah, yeah,
42:37
hundred here we come. You just you just keep falling down and getting
42:42
back up, and then the next thing, you know, all your friends
42:45
are dead. And there's you speaking of speaking of everybody being dead. Okay,
42:52
okay. A couple of episodes ago, we were talking about the white
42:59
people climbing Mount Everest. Yes, I'm Raj. I have some very very
43:05
bad news for you. It's not all white people. It's not. It's
43:09
not. If you are to google Green Boots Mount Everest, that is the
43:15
nickname of one of the climbers that is still there near the summit of Mount
43:20
Everest, just lying there, frozen dead, just a dead sickle, still
43:27
wearing all the ironically protective clothing, including green like neon green boots that I
43:35
guess occasionally when there's snow, it's the boots that stick out, and then
43:38
sometimes when some of that snow thaws, then you see the rest of him.
43:42
But his nickname is Green Boots. And when you google Green Boots Mount
43:46
Everest, it comes up that while technically they don't know the identity of Green
43:54
Boots, they suspect that he is an Indian climber. I disagree. They
44:05
can't prove it, so they don't want it to They don't want it to
44:07
all be a bunch of kiles up there. And diversity and death and look,
44:20
Tray, he was sitting down the whole time, and he's gonna be
44:30
frozen till one hundred. No. I think this is a story perpetuated by
44:38
a white family who who wants to just try to make it to where it
44:45
wasn't their kid doing dumb white kids stuff that goes. You see that mountain
44:50
that looks like no one can climb it, let's do that like that?
44:52
Nobody, No, okay, here's how okay. I've been to India many
44:57
times. I've been to Nepal, I've been the lay I've been to where
45:00
I mean, I've been to where I can see the Himalayas. And then
45:05
nobody, No, nobody in my group, nobody in the market, nobody
45:08
in the in the in the like the courtyards or the little grassy areas where
45:14
all the kids are playing and the parents are picnicking. At no point did
45:16
anybody turn at any point. And I've been there multiple times ago. Do
45:20
you want to see if we can climb that? Nobody ever said that.
45:23
Nobody ever said it. When the sherpas would come in, if you'd see
45:29
them come down, and they always bring them bring the people to the marketplace
45:34
and lay and Ladoc to buy like the coats and and and all that stuff,
45:37
like, and I have a couple of beautiful wool coats that are made
45:42
by the Nepalese people that are there. They're amazingly warm. I have two
45:47
of them that I bought. Every time they bring in, it's all always
45:52
a whole bunch of white people right behind them, and they're like, this
45:57
is where you buy all the gear. They're like, all right, because
45:59
we're climbing out Everest. And I was like, looked, I feel like
46:01
the college professor. I'm like, look to your left, look to your
46:05
right, the people, these people will not be coming down. So you're
46:09
trying to tell me that if you want to climb out Everest, you're not
46:12
going to find everything you need at RDI No, you will not off a
46:15
Northwest tide. YEA, yeah, now I'll go I'll go to I'll go
46:27
to Schrpa's Outdoor World next to the base camp at Mount Everest. But like,
46:32
like, I don't think Oshman's was ever gonna have this if you needed
46:37
to get to the top of Everest. Yeah if if if if Green boots
46:39
bottom from Dicks, there's a reason he died what happened it that's under snow
46:52
armor. So that guy is According according to Wikipedia, green Boots is the
46:57
name given to the unidentified body of a climber that became a landmark on the
47:01
main northeast ridge route of Mount Everest. The body has not been The body
47:07
has not been officially identified, but he's believed to be. I'm gonna butcher
47:12
this name. Raj should help me if if you can, uh to so
47:15
long Paul Jour. It's T S, E, W, A and G.
47:21
So he's it would be Nepalese. Is what the that's the background of
47:25
that name? I believe is it? Well? They then Paul Jour is
47:29
the last name p. A. L. J O R an Indian climber
47:31
who died on Everest in nineteen ninety six. And I don't know. They
47:37
don't know for sure. They're just it's it's suspected. That sounds the beginning
47:43
of the name. Uh, that's it's a ts. It's usually Nepalese,
47:47
but it could be a Nepalese person of Nepalese descent living in India. Oh
47:52
so they're so they're giving the wrong so they're giving credit to the wrong country
47:57
of origin. So he may have been let's an Indian, oh yeah,
48:01
the resident, or or he may have lived in India, but he may
48:05
have been you know, been born in Nepal. Yeah, or his family's
48:07
from Nepal. And he they said client, I thought he might have been
48:10
a sherp, but that is possible. They don't really, they don't very
48:14
often die up there. So but I was like, Okay, and maybe
48:17
my theory now that you said that it could be of Indian descent and he
48:22
is the only one that they've nicknamed, you know, his green boots,
48:24
and it could be him. I'm guessing what happened was he got to the
48:28
north east facing side of the mountain and got the call that he did not
48:32
make it to med school, and and then just sat down and because someone
48:45
was gonna kill him, telling him if he had just had that stand Alert
