It's FRIIIDAY! | Friday #24, Friday February 9, 2024 · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:22
It is time to leave your worries outside and do what you're I guess kind
0:30
of already doing now, which is joining us inside the treehouse with me Daniel
0:36
Mallley, Trade Trenholm, Raj Sharma, and the one and only rock and
0:41
roll attorney Everett Newton. Yeah you can hear it still, right, Oh
0:50
yeah, okay, yeah, we got that figured out. We mentioned it
0:55
was yesterday the day before about how this whole set up, This whole you
0:59
know, did you thing has us, you know, trying to act as
1:03
our own engineers, which is very scary. There was a reason why in
1:06
our radio days we were not allowed in the engineer room, and it wasn't
1:10
just because it was very possible we might blow it up on purpose but also
1:15
accidentally. But through no work on our end whatsoever ever, is now able
1:23
to hear us. So yeah, for us, we we all did it.
1:26
Go team. So if nothing else we've accomplished that today we can back.
1:33
Yeah. And all we did was just wait and all of a sudden
1:34
it just started working out of nowhere. So you know what, Sometimes patients
1:38
pays off, and in the case of this week, there has been no
1:42
patients. Because this makes day five in a row. Yes, in a
1:48
row of Treehouse episodes falling out of the Treehouse this week, and that will
1:53
culminate in a sixth day, not in a row. Just as you know,
1:57
on Monday day after the super Bowl, we would normally have an episode,
2:01
but we're really going to have an episode on Monday. That Monday episode
2:06
is going to be live, and I'm still crossing my fingers. Yeah,
2:13
yeah, even for no other reason if you like to see a train wreck,
2:16
Yes, that in and of itself, because we're not sure what we're
2:21
doing. Welcome to my marketing mind. That is integral. That is essential
2:27
to the message that I will be pushing all weekend for the episode on Monday,
2:32
which is it might be great. It might be an absolute train wreck,
2:38
but you'll get to see it live and that'll be That'll be fun in
2:42
and of itself. So I'm looking forward to it. Now, go ahead
2:46
of you. I was gonna ask you if this is a medication issue or
2:51
the reason for the frenetic pace that you've suddenly embraced. You know, it
2:57
was a it's sort of in a something special to do the multiple days in
3:02
a row, And I'd like to mention Alexander Financial Management. They are partially
3:10
responsible because they gave us a little bit of money and so we decided to
3:15
run their spots all week in exchange for that. And so basically it boils
3:21
down to we can and we got paid to. So also shout out to
3:25
cook DFW Roofing and Restoration, the Dallas Comedy Club, which is sponsoring this
3:30
here segment where Raj will be tonight and tomorrow, which is fun to say.
3:36
This is part of the reason we get to do whatever. The main
3:38
reason why we wanted to go five days a week this week is to sort
3:42
of tap into a little bit of that energy leading up to the super Bowl,
3:46
and also because I have a lot of content for the last few weeks
3:51
that has been piling up and I didn't want it all to go to waste.
3:54
And Trey said, well, why don't we just do a show every
3:58
day of the week. And I was like, well, well, okay,
4:02
okay, that's a reasonable Yeah, I was here. It was a
4:08
lack of medication, or maybe too much that that would have been an interesting
4:11
story too. Well, it was coming off of a severe car accident,
4:15
and he does have medical professionals pushing drugs on him harder than a former show
4:21
Doctor of Ours. And uh, I, honest to God, don't know
4:26
if he's been taking them or not, because I'm also used to people on
4:29
this show saying they're not doing things when in fact they are. No,
4:31
I don't. I'm not a I'm not a I'm not a pill guy,
4:35
not a big fan. I don't take Adville for headaches. So like,
4:40
I just I'll just I just yeah, I know, I'd just rather take
4:43
a nap. It's just easier. So I got I got a bad enough
4:46
headache. I cannot sleep really mm hmm. I remember I was telling my
4:54
girlfriend this. I remember when I was a kid or in India, and
4:58
this is how you know to hear throws medication at you. In India,
5:01
I was running. I had a headache and I was running a fever and
5:04
my mom, being a nurse, took me to the doctor that was directly
5:08
across the street from my uncle's house. And she goes, uh, he's
5:13
got a fever in a headache, and goes okay, and my mom is
5:15
gonna give him something, goes yes, advice go to sleep, And that
5:19
was it. That was all he gave me. There was no there was
5:21
no medicine. There was no here's a pill, here's ibuprofen. Nothing.
5:27
He was like, just come, just go to sleep, and you did.
5:30
I slept. I slept for a couple of hours, woke up.
5:31
You still get charged for that office visit because that doesn't seem very doctory to
5:35
me. Uh No, I mean there's the last The last time was in
5:40
India. I had a uh parasite, uh the thing that happened, and
5:46
that doctor was tell me to take a nap for that too. No,
5:48
they actually gave me. They gave me medicine because I was fixing. Uh,
5:53
they gave me coming out both ends and you're in the tub looking like
5:58
this sts uh, they give me. But the doctor's visit was a whopping
6:02
one dollar US so that I got a what year was I came two thousand
6:15
and seventeen? Sorais his rates by now? Yeah, one one US dollar
6:24
seventy five of theirs. Okay, okay, I gotta move really and really
6:30
stretch the dollar out there. Yeah, of course like that. I mean,
6:36
yeah, that's true. You walk in like your guts are hanging out
6:40
thick a nap. But just in a severe car accident, I was run
6:46
over by you know, a crazy Indian cab driver in the middle of Mumbai.
6:51
Help me, help me. My guts are falling out, and this
6:54
advice is taking nap. Can give me a dollar now I think I think
6:58
your guts are hanging out. He can give you two til and and tell
7:03
me not to drink after taking them. They take you to go home,
7:08
you know, get some rest, drink plenty of fluids. And I drink
7:12
the water and it just comes right out from inside of me, because it's
7:15
all it's weird that you guys say that. As many times as I've been
7:18
to Indian and gone and performed and just I've never seen a car accident with
7:25
And if you look at like those crazy videos of how traffic is there,
7:29
I've never seen seen them ever. So speaking of discounts, Everett, I
7:33
don't know if you heard there was a there was a major disturbance in the
7:40
forest this week because we learned that our very own trade Trendholme is now an
7:47
official card carrying member of the National Association for the Advancement of Retired People card
8:00
them for it used to be a ar P, but it kind of it
8:05
like a lot of things when they come into the tree house, they get
8:07
they get to put on the stupid cycle and when it comes out, it
8:11
comes out two different organizations. Yeah, Trey, Trey is now a full
8:16
card carrying member of a a r P. And he hasn't used it yet.
8:22
He's saving it, I think for a special occasion, perhaps for a
8:24
special lady. I'm wondering, do you have yours? Evert hell no?
8:35
So this sold This solidifies my thinking. My thinking is there are two types
8:41
of people in this world. There are the people that are going to embrace
8:43
the a ar P card and and the status and the benefits that come with
8:48
it, and those that will reject it. And we have one of each
8:52
right now, Trey, you embrace, Everett you reject, which I'm surprised.
8:56
Usually you're you're usually the way you guys go would be it would be
9:01
the other way. Well, I mean, unless you're looking for a discount
9:05
to get into the Senior Center. I mean I failed to seize the appeal.
9:09
I know that they have a discount. Oh, here we go.
9:13
You get prescription drug benefits, you get discounts on hotels, car rentals,
9:18
like restaurants, you can you got a certain Asian restaurants. Uh, you
9:26
know, I think it's PF Chain's and like five it's five dollars off of
9:31
twenty five dollars order. You know what, I don't know about you guys,
9:33
but I just recognized everything Trade just mentioned is his ideal first date.
9:39
He's going to rent a car. He's gonna rent a car, is going
9:43
to take you to PF chains and a hotel afterwards, and he's going to
9:46
get a discount on all of it. Yeah. I he's going to be
9:50
able to close the deal if he's whipping out his AARP card every time he
9:54
pays for something. It's a very specific type that he'll have to go after
10:00
that would actually be turned on by the discount status. I hate to tell
10:11
you, but Everett's right. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The
10:13
next woman that you date with any sort of serious relationship, her name on
10:16
the show will be Mema because if she's dating you, that means she's not
10:20
only embracing you, she's embracing your AARP status. Now what if she brings
10:26
her own AARP card, Do you guys get the Do you get like a
10:31
double discount? How does it work? Yeah? I guess so or do
10:35
they fight over who gets the points. Yeah. One of the biggest reasons
10:43
I did it is because most golf courses will give you the senior discounts as
10:48
Yeah. So, so how much this membership yearly? I think it's it's
10:56
cheap. I mean it's ninety nine dollars for a year. I think,
11:01
wow. And how long have you been a member? Oh? Of ten
11:05
days? And you've never used it? I already used it, like so
11:11
for instance, I uh, for prescription drugs I was paying for it's like
11:15
good RX, like for their premium subscription. You know, prescription discounts.
11:22
Don't need that anymore. Get that with my ARP and it actually gets a
11:28
better eight, So that alone makes it worth it. So you are using
11:33
it? Yes, I heard you weren't using it? I said, no,
11:37
I used it for at my pharmacy and I haven't whipped it out to
11:39
get a discount. That was actually my bad. I assumed he hadn't used
11:43
it yet. I didn't realize that he was already using it on prescription drugs,
11:48
which also would be a fun a fun mix on a first date.
11:50
Are you hiding your usage? No? You know how to shame No.
11:58
When you went to the pharmacy. Did you did you kick up on the
12:01
front door, like like it's an old West saloon and hold up your AARP
12:05
card and go look look what I got. She was like, oh,
12:07
it'll be this much. I said, oh, hey, I forgot,
12:09
I got I have this And it's like, wow, can tell me what
12:13
how much it is under this plan? And they're like it's like two dollars
12:16
less. I'm like, all right, did they look at did she look
12:18
at you and go ooh oh my, as if it was like a like
12:22
like a black MX card. Yeah, yeah, like, oh, he's
12:30
not Indian. This is just watching you guys talk about discounts for the last
12:35
ten minutes. It's been such a great joy for me because I'm like,
12:39
this is the most Indian conversation I've watched three white people have. Yeah,
12:45
but Raj, you've got You've got Everard who's rejecting the AARP card. He
12:48
is like, I'm not I'm not a member. I'm not doing it now.
12:52
Is that is that purely based on financial reasoning or is it more of
12:56
an emotional because if you have one, then that means you're admit that you're
13:00
old. That's the latter is part of it. Another part of it is
13:05
the relentlessness with which they pursue you once you turn fifty. I mean I
13:09
don't want to know. That's because they know you've slowed down. Yeah,
13:16
because once you show any interest, that means they know that you have slowed
13:20
down enough to where they think they can get you. And they probably can.
13:24
Oh yeah, this car. A lot of old people's out in front
13:26
of your house wall, even these application forms, I mean Treino's. He
13:30
said, I beat him to the punch. I was like, you know,
13:37
went ahead and did it so like they can just drive on bio and
13:41
just put my little my sticker on out front and don't know cars be in
13:46
one of the cars because now you're in. Yeah, you're in. Now
13:50
you're in. You made it too easy on them, trays like you didn't
13:52
even try to run and slow down to where they could get you and and
13:54
make it interesting. You basically just you went to their house and said,
13:58
gimme. You noticed that he's already subtly trying to sell it on us.
14:03
I mean, you guys aren't eligible yet, but you will be getting cloetting
14:09
close. I don't know why you guys, so they dropped it this year,
14:13
they've changed it. Any age can now apply for ARP like they've changed
14:18
it. Yeah, you can look it up. They changed But a lot
14:22
of the benefits you that you're not eligible for until you get to a certain
14:26
age. So what will be the point of having it if you can't get
14:30
any of the benefits is just to be able to say, look at my
14:31
card that I don't get any use out of. I just I have it.
14:41
There's the there's the reveal. You have an RP card. I have
14:46
AARP and I've had it for the last five months. I was really hoping
14:52
you were going to say the last five years. Damn, this is a
14:56
this is a coordinated effort look out. It's starting to feel like it.
15:00
And and this makes me even happier now that I have Everett, my attorney
15:03
in my presence, to keep an eye out for me. You don't want
15:09
to go down this path. I think I know that that that's that's who
15:13
who you're trusting. Now, how men owl's you got, That's none of
15:20
your business. Number two, Hey you get I think you get a discount
15:26
at hardware store. So maybe you know you can take some bird house building
15:31
classes. I've got an owl house built by a professional. It's not my
15:35
fault that they're extinct, the professionals or the owls both. Well, if
15:43
the owls are extinct, then there's no reason to have an owl house building
15:46
expert. So I'm sure they they went on to do other things like maybe
15:50
drive for Uber. I'm hoping to house an outlier. But Everett, I'm
15:56
with you here. It's starting to be apparent to me since Trey is a
16:00
new card carrying member of AARP, Raj has just admitted to us that he's
16:04
been a card carrying AARP member for five months. It is starting to feel
16:11
like a coordinated effort to get us to also join. And now I'm wondering
16:15
if AARP is missing, like an additional letter A for army. Raj.
16:23
I'm just I'm just proud of you for coming out of that the elderly closet.
16:30
It's it's there's no age restructure now. So it was offered and I
16:34
was like, you know what, they have really good roadside assistance. I
16:40
travel a lot, so I don't know why Dumbledore is laughing not effort.
16:51
So apparently not only not only are Rag and Trey old, but just like
16:55
a pair of old men. They're surly. Yeah, I'm kidding. I'm
16:59
just waiting for an owl to just swoop and just land on your shoulder like
17:02
that would be the greatest moment. And that may actually be the reason why
17:04
Everett has gone long hair, long beard? Is that what it is?
17:08
Ever? You're trying to attract owls to your person. Yes, you're a
17:12
spot on dan, Thank you, welcome. I just want him to turn
17:21
the camera and there just be owls just like just staring. I bought this,
17:27
I got this great owl house and no owls. You have an owl
17:32
house. I guess you should. Yeah, say that's the problem. So
17:38
Raj, you're thinking that Everett looks like a mythical creature from Harry Potter,
17:45
Whereas yes, he's he's been on the hunt for owls. He had an
17:51
owl house. He wanted owls to come live in his owl house and they
17:53
refuse. He even has an owl cam. Wow, well it's not quite
18:03
an OL cam yet they have actually been an owl I think, Yeah,
18:07
I think right now is just a backyard camera. It's an owl house cam.
18:11
Yes, exactly, a little vacancy sign. Got a great shot of
18:18
some sawdust. Yeah, this is what happened. This is what happens when
18:21
white people have too much money. This is exactly what happened. You know
18:26
what. I actually helped Everett find that house. And you're not wrong when
18:38
white people should be a show when white people have too much money, and
18:41
it's just ever zone the Owl House being built. They already did. It
18:47
was the Rich and Famous. I think it was just h g TV.
18:52
Yeah that's not a show, that's just the whole network and starring next week
19:00
on Owl House Nation Chip and you go in a Gains figured out that a
19:03
long time ago, I was gonna be a pair of owl silos along with
19:17
a store and a bakery, probably a school. It's pretty much a cult
19:22
now, right. Oh yeah, like that's people. But there's been no
19:30
sighting trip you go to Magnolia whatever. Yeah, but there's been no sightings
19:34
of owls at your at your at your home. No, no, yeah,
19:41
you're they do not exist. I do not have them. Very white
19:47
angry. Why is it gonna be all racist? Man? I'm not sitting
19:52
here calling you an Indian because I have never I've never seen a black person
19:56
be like, man, you know what happened last week? No, owls
19:59
like that's never that's just because you haven't seen it, Raj, doesn't mean
20:03
it doesn't exist. And that's also kind of how Everett is living. He's
20:08
he's you know, teetering on you know, the brink of you know,
20:12
are there actually owls or is you know, truly of the mindset that they're
20:17
extinct? And I like to think he's holding out a shred of hope.
20:19
Maybe these black people are just hiding it from you, like you've been hiding
20:22
your artmiss for the past five months. Hey, that actually sounds like something
20:30
you contract. You're listening to The Treehouse. Visit us online That Treehouse on
20:49
air dot com this week at the Dallas Comedy Club and Deep Elm. You've
20:59
seen him on FX, Comedy Central and NBC's Last Comic Standing, where he
21:03
was runner up in a field of over one thousand comedians. It's Lachlan Patterson.
21:07
Man. I love football. Wish it was there on that day when
21:10
they're trying to figure out how to start the game. That's an interesting rule
21:12
that probably the quarterback in the center figured that one out just staring at the
21:15
ball, all right, pretty much ready to go. How do you want
21:18
to start? This game. I tell you, why, why don't you
21:21
just hand me that ball through your butt and we'll get going. Excuse me,
21:26
just give me that ball through your button and we'll play football. Well,
21:29
this seems ridiculous. I mean, for one thing, I can't even
21:32
see you facing the exact opposite way. How will I know when to give
21:36
it to you? Tell you what I'll do. I'll get right behind you
21:38
and I'll gently rest my hands in between your legs, and when I want
21:44
the ball, just tap you on the nuts a couple of times, will
21:45
you? That's Lachlan Patterson this Friday and Saturday, February ninth and tenth at

page. I don't know about him, but you and I definitely are.
22:26
Definitely. I'm curious if you are going to put any money on the big
22:30
game on Sunday or are you just gonna sit back and enjoy the commercials both.
22:36
I'm playing squares all right. I'n't put any money on the game though,
22:40
but then absolutely commercials, love them. The squares is a good kind
22:42
of dip your toe into the gambling world without really gambling, you know,
22:47
because it's not like you're calling up a bookie or you're you know, trying
22:49
to call somebody in Vegas to place a bet for in your entire future and
22:55
life is riding on the game and the outcome. So the squares thing is
22:57
a fun way to go. But just emotionally, who's your team in the
23:00
game this weekend? Cheez without a doubt? Well? Good. I hope
23:04
you, uh, I hope your squares come in, and I hope you
23:07
enjoy all the commercials and enjoy the game. And if you get too rowdy
23:11
at your Super Bowl party, know that you need to call Kerry Cook from

other people do. So it's smart to have someone in your corner to help
25:04
you do that. And Alexander Financial has been in business for like thirty years
25:10
and they have a special place in their heart for our first responders. So
25:17
our old buddy in pal Steve Rutherford now formerly Farmers Branch Police Department because he
25:25
retired, but he is working with Alexander Financial Management and he's going around to
25:30
different departments in Texas saying, hey, you need some help with your financial
25:34
planning. These are the guys to do it for you. They've got retired
25:37
police and fire that work there and they've helped people that the Foundation has helped
25:45
in the past with their finances, so we figure, if it's good enough
25:49
for the popo and the firefighters, good enough for us, good enough for
25:53
you right here inside the treehouse. You can find him on Facebook, Alexander
25:56
Financial Management, the website alex FM dot com. Everett you are And I'm
26:04
not trying to kiss your ass here. I just it's it's true. You
26:08
are, in fact, one of the smartest people that I know. And
26:14
I was curious because the other day we heard about this thirteen year old kid
26:18
from Oklahoma that beat Tetris in thirty eight minutes. So my question for you
26:27
is a two parter. One have you ever played Tetris? And two did
26:33
you beat it? No? And no? Okay, Well that that makes
26:37
that simple. Raj is of the belief that this kid is somehow fake.
26:42
It's not real, because there's no way a thirteen year old kid from Oklahoma
26:48
beat Tetris that wasn't Asian. Why does that? Why does that? Everything's
26:57
I swear everything's racist. It's and the Asians and the Indians. Come on,
27:03
man, I'm just saying he didn't beat the game. He crashed the
27:11
system, so it ended because he overloaded the system in thirty eight minutes.
27:17
That's what happened. He didn't beat Tetris. Okay, then, so if
27:21
this, if this child from Oklahoma had been Asian, let's say specifically Indian,
27:30
sure, would you then have said that he beat the game? Or
27:34
would you still be saying one, he beat the game? Now? What
27:45
if he was Pakistani? That no, that crashed the system, crashed the
27:49
system? Only Indian? Okay, it's only it's not a spelling bee,
27:53
Roger. See now, who's being racist? Ever? Yeah, it's more
27:59
fun over here. Ever, come on, the water's murky, the waters
28:06
brown, get in and that's how Roger got that parasite. I will say
28:15
this though, Yeah, I would actually, I would actually say this.
28:18
There's there. You know how people will watch celebrities do pretty much anything.
28:23
I'll give you. I'll give you know some great examples. The Kardashians.
28:26
They don't really do anything, but millions of people have watched them. Uh,
28:30
they haven't really done anything since Kim did Rage, and everything since then
28:37
has just been sort of existing with a camera in front of them. They
28:42
seem to have ruined a lot of men's lives. Yes, that is correct.
28:49
You know Kim Kardashians an attorney now, like she is a lawyer,
28:56
like the pass the bar. I think she went to law school. I
29:00
think I thought she passed the bar. I thought so. I was like,
29:04
I wanted to ask about that, like, yeah, what your feelings
29:10
were about about that? Well, I have none. It's it's just I
29:19
don't think everyone's worried about it because he's not going to run into her at
29:23
the Dallas County Court. Yeah, that'd be weird. Yeah, more power
29:29
tour. I mean, I think it's great if that's what she wants to
29:30
do. So anyway, it's very clear that that we as a massive people
29:37
will watch celebrities do pretty much anything. The Kardashians obviously. Uh like the
29:44
most successful podcasts what we do here are done by famous people, not and
29:48
their their podcasts are successful not necessarily because the podcast is great, it's because
29:53
they're famous. We'll watch We'll watch famous people do pretty much anything. Circus
30:02
of the Stars comes to mind. I love that growing up as a kid.
30:03
Oh yeah, that was great. Dancing with the stars today, you
30:08
know, that's that's still a thing. We want to see famous people do
30:11
stuff. I want to see famous people play tetras Okay Kim Kardashian update,
30:21
Oh, she has not passed the bar and in fact it's not going to
30:25
law school. Apparently, California has an apprenticeship program that allows you to work
30:29
for a law firm and study for the bar. Texas actually did many many
30:33
years ago, they did away with it, But in California you don't have
30:37
to apparently go to law school. You can work at a law firm and
30:45
if you can pass the bar, then you're a lawyer. The tricky part
30:48
is, though, from what I recall, their their bar pass rate is
30:49
very low, and I think that's in part because you don't have to go
30:53
to law school to take the bar. This is this is very eye opening.
30:59
Slash mean to me that in the state of California you can just go
31:03
be a lawyer without any real registration. Yeah, well you've got to pass
31:07
the bar. That's the tricky part. There are a number of unaccredited law
31:11
schools in California because you don't have to go to an accredited law school to
31:15
take the bar. I knew there was I knew there was a state,
31:19
and not to be stereotypical, I honestly thought it was West Virginia that had
31:23
that same thing where you didn't actually have to go to law school, but
31:27
if you could pass the bar and show some kind of apprenticeship that you could
31:32
actually become an attorney. But you thought West Virginia like that was I know
31:38
there's a state on the east coast that has a similar deal. I did
31:42
not. I did not know California was like that. That seems odd for
31:48
that state. It's basically a tooth count in West Virginia, so that the
32:00
IQ and the teeth are Commensurate's sixteen or more and you're in the teeth or
32:09
not the IQ right, yes, yes, although there is an intersection at
32:15
some point of those two lines six sixteen teeth and three branches on your family
32:21
tree. And you're a oh god, okay, sorry, I am I
32:30
actually, I am serious. I would Actually, it might it might push
32:34
the limits of what we'd be willing to watch celebrities do. But I'd watch
32:37
some famous people play tetris. I'll give you a really strong example that I
32:42
think would be fun that people would tune in for. I think I think
32:45
people would watch Christopher Walking play tetris. I mean, I've watched Christopher Walking
32:51
cook chicken before, so trust me, I'll watch him do damn near anything?
32:55
Dan. Yeah, yes, hey guys doing or are we close enough
33:02
now? Or we can actually call you Chris? Yeah, you called me
33:07
chicken shoes for years? Tetris? Can I watch you play Tetris? I
33:14
beat the game, Dan, I beat you did? Wait thirty six minutes?
33:20
Thirty six minutes, that's right, two minutes faster than that kid from
33:23
Oklahoma? Yeah? Are you Asian? Asian? Christopher Walking would be the
33:31
greatest thing I've ever seen in my life. If you can actually pull that
33:35
off, you you could retire. I would just love like it's the game,
33:39
Dan, the T too small, the Z too big, that's just
33:45
the letters in the game. But I would I would like to watch Luke
33:52
Bryant. Huh, I would like to when you do? Or Christopher Walking
33:57
does chph Walking wants to see Luke Bryan Why Datris h? I'm Luke Bryani
34:10
Okay, I'm ready? Are you playing? You want me to do?
34:16
What? Play? The game? Is that the one with the moving blocks?
34:23
That is blocks, squares, all of it? Now? You don't
34:28
want me doing that? I'm I'm not good at that. I'm not good
34:30
at putting blocks in places. I'm good at putting my truck in a pond.
34:34
I did that one that fit I think. I think actually one of
34:45
the one of the one of the vagrants that I that I took, I
34:49
think he was he was a gamer uh, and I took it upon myself
34:54
to change his gamer tag to dead because you see Roj, I don't.
35:02
I don't have time for video games because I'm an international country rock star with
35:08
magical the most magical hips since Elvis. I don't have time. Yeah,
35:16
I don't have time for video games. I'm too busy playing the ultimate game.
35:22
One is the old Hunting People. I think that's called Murder Tomato Tomorrow
35:38
on my ranch. It's hunting on your ranch. You could call it whatever
35:46
you want. He's called the Hunger Games. That was last year's theme.
35:57
Uh. This year, it's gonna be full and Slow. That's also the
36:05
name of your new album. Yeah, my life is full of double loan.
36:17
Anyone else want to throw in their impersonation to play Tetris. If I
36:23
still drank, I'd do a mean Michael J. Fox And the best part
36:30

37:21
month in general. But I'm really excited to talk about my friends now friends,
37:24
Chris and Lana, and they we did a sewer repair for them because
37:29
they had a sewer break, but they also needed to replace their water heater,
37:31
and they had gotten a quote from a competitor, not sure who it
37:35
was, and we came in about two thousand dollars less than our competitor,
37:39
and so while we were fixing their sewer leak, we actually installed a water
37:44
heater. I'm rounding up, but it was approximately two thousand dollars saved with
37:49
the exact same materials and installation service, and I think I could go on

39:52
just in an interview, Yes, I watched some of it Yesterday's Uh he's
39:59
celebrating thirty years of sobriety. So he has been clean and sober. Yeah,
40:04
clean sober for for thirty years. That's impressive. I mean, you
40:07
gotta let's I have I think we're all thinking the same thing. So I'm
40:14
just gonna go ahead and ask it is is he sober by choice? Or
40:24
or or or is it because can't can't uh get Yeah, he couldn't keep
40:35
the booze in the glass? Yeah, thank you drank. I didn't want
40:39
to fully say it. So it's hard to get drunk on an ice cube.
40:50
I like how that stayed in the glass. That's that's one of the
40:53
big ones. Is Yeah, but at least someone we want advocating for sobriety.
41:02
What do you mean? This is how healthy you can be? If
41:07
that's right, you can have this, you would stop drinking. You you
41:15
could be just like me. I can. I can see how that might
41:22
put off a couple of folks. But apparently apparently, I mean, I
41:24
give him credit for this. Apparently raging who knew this, Marty McFly raging
41:31
alcoholic back in the day, Like that was like that was his thing,
41:36
Like he that's how he figured out the Parkinson's is he had gone out.
41:42
That's how he figured out the Parkinson's or that's how he got the Parkinson's.
41:45
No no, so that could be both. But he went out. It
41:49
was Doc Hollywood. He went out drinking with Woody Harrelson and they got so
41:52
hammered in the morning. He was so hung over he thought there was a
41:54
butterfly on his face and it was his hand. And that's how he discovered
42:00
because so hungover, his hand was on his face, and his involuntary movements
42:08
of his hand is what se Now in this scenario, I feel like the
42:13
alcoholic inside of me is coming out because I feel like maybe he was giving
42:17
the alcohol too much credit when in reality, maybe what he should have stopped
42:22
was hanging out with Woody Arrels. I forally just get high, but apparently
42:30
Fox was like apparently could put down a lot about for his height and his
42:37
weight and all that, like drink you under the table like that was what
42:40
he That was his game. Uh, and it would still show up to
42:44
a Well that's not fair because he could just walk under the table. That
42:52
game's rigged. Yeah. I was really just watching the interview, like I
42:57
was impressed with like the amount of alcohol he was like two bottles of wine
43:01
before dinner kind of guy like that's not including what he'd drink during dinner after,
43:07
but two bottles of wine is what he would before he sat down for
43:12
I knew someone like that once. How they doing not so good? If
43:28
I'm being honest? All right? Today is Fred Day? Actual Friday,
43:37
February ninth, twenty twenty four Earth days today. Hell, yes, we've
43:43
got Michael B. Jordan turns thirty seven days, the star of the Creed
43:47
franchise. He was also Killmonger in Black Panther and the MCU. Very talented
43:52
actor. He is thirty seven today. Tom Hittleston, also of the Marvel
43:59
Cinematic Unit, he is Loki. He is forty three today, and some
44:04
people don't know still that he originally auditioned for the role of Thor, which,
44:09
knowing what we know about Thor now, seems kind of weird because you
44:13
have to be huge and muscular to play Thor and Tom Hindleston is a lanky
44:17
guy, but he's also extremely talented actor. And MTU has taken a lot
44:23
of hits recently. But the Loki series, that's really really good. That's
44:29
good stuff, Okay, Raj. You'll be a fan of this actress,
44:34
I guess just because she's Asian. Ziji zig Ziang is forty five. She
44:39
is from Memoirs of a Gisha, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Rush Hour
44:44
Too, and House of Flying Daggers. Charlie Day from char from It's Always
44:50
Sunny in Philadelphia. He is forty eight today. Also plays Benny in the
44:53
Lego movies. We've also got Jim J. Bullock is sixty nine today,
45:01
What Squares Hollywood Squares and Too Close for Comfort Star Jim J. Bullock is
45:08
sixty nine today. Yeah, he's It's truly amazing how many people are left
45:15
on this planet that are, you know, really essential to society and Jim
45:21
J. Bullock is just hanging in there. Yeah, he's again a very
45:25
interesting read. When it comes to the Jim J. Bullock, he arrested
45:31
multiple This is before TMZ, so they got away with it, but arrested
45:36
multiple times for his his love of the booze and drugs. I'm noticing a
45:42
theme, and I think Everett's thinking he's getting He's got a couple of leads
45:45
here for his law clients. Speaking of which, if you're on the same
45:51
page, as Michael J. Fox was or Jim J. Bullock might still
45:55
be, I don't know, or the path of others that have ended so
46:00
terribly and you've found yourself in Dutch with the law. Then you call Berloff
46:04
and Newton. It's Dallas, Yes, Tom, Yes you do, it's
46:08
Dallas Attorney dot com. They will well, I can't say the first that
46:14
thought to my head, but they will represent you. How about that thought
46:20
that they'd get you off? Oh, and you can't promise that because you
46:24
can't and also because it sounded dirty and you don't know that. No,
46:29
No, I don't want anyone going into your office and expecting one thing and
46:32
not getting it. The Jim J. Bullock was arrested in nineteen ninety nine
46:38
outside of a bar in West Hollywood for crystal meth. Yes that's a good
46:45
one. Good on him. Yeah, he gets the he gets the middle
46:50
square. Yeah, aren't they bringing back Hollywood squares? Yes, they need
46:57
to bring he needs to be the center square. And then if they and
47:00
if they don't have shadows Stevens, I'm not watching. Yeah, I don't.
47:05
I don't think. I don't know what that guy did for a living,
47:07
like I don't know whose shadows Stephens. He was a voiceover guy.
47:09
Oh he was. He was actually mister movie Phone before mister movie Phone.
47:14
Really like that was he was one of the big voice guys. Oh gotcha?
47:19
Okay, because he I mean again, phenomenal voice, but I just
47:21
didn't know what he did for a living, Like he was just there and
47:23
he had the most phenomenal hair of anybody in the I mean the eighties and
47:28
nineties. That's the hair you wanted. Oh yeah, between him and was
47:34
it Adam Curry on MTV? Oh yeah, yeah, that big the luscious
47:38
locks. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the that's the hair that
47:43
you wanted. That's actually whatever it looks like when he gets dressed up for
47:46
date night. Oh yeah, absolutely, just a big hair. Go ahead,
47:54
No, no, go ahead. I was just gonna sort of throw
47:59
out there. I wonder what Jim J. Bullock's daily life is like.
48:01
You know, here's a guy who was a star at one point, and
48:05
you know, he went down whatever path he's on, and I mean,
48:07
you know what's he doing right now? I mean you never wonder about that,
48:10
you know, Glory Hole. Have you seen too close for comfort?
48:22
In Syndication whincidentally, that's the name of the bathroom stall. You could just
48:35
call it was Hollywood. Yeah. I never think, like, I wonder
48:44
what that guy's doing today? And Jim K. Bullock, if you just
48:47
randomly, if you would, hey, what do you think he's doing today?
48:50
I'm like, dudes, you but I mean he's still hanging around Hollywood
48:55
as he waited for his next big break. Or I mean live and do
49:04
mass. I mean, for God's sake, there's Arkansas. Yeah, you
49:08
go to Hot Springs, live a lot more cheaply. Yeah, all right,
49:15
we've got that too close for comfort. Money And finally, celebrating a
49:23
birthday today, Joe Peshi turns eighty one, star of films like Goodfellas,
49:30
Casino, Home Alone, Home Alone Too, so many great movies. My
49:36
question to you, gentlemen, is this, uh, in celebration of Joe
49:39
Peshi's birthday today, what is your favorite Joe Peshi movie? There are,
49:45
Like I said, there are a number to choose from some of his Some
49:49
of his biggest hits include things like Where Did It Go? Man on Fire?
49:54
He was in that back in nineteen eighty seven. He was also in
49:59
Lethal Up in two three and four, Home Alone, Goodfellas and this is
50:04
kind of cool you talk about a showing range as an actor. Joe Peshi
50:07
did Goodfellas and Home Alone in the same year. Yeah, I didn't see.
50:15
I didn't see Goodfellas when it first came out because I don't know if
50:17
I was allowed Home Alone I did, but I couldn't help but wonder that
50:22
if what if it was Joe Peshi's character in Goodfellas was part of the Wet
50:27
bandits and Home Alone Kevin might have turned out very differently. Favorite film,
50:36
My cousin Vinnie. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Yeah,
50:38
I think I'm yeah, I think I'm with you on that one. Yeah,
50:45
my cousin Vinnie. But I mean it is the classic. I mean
50:50
you got to give him up for Casino was one of the best Pesci movies,
50:55
Like he was, you know, I forget is it Raging Bull or
50:58
Casino? Where Nero keeps asking Patty, did you f my wife? Casino?
51:05
It is okay, ye, yes, yeah, But there's also he
51:07
does a guest appearance in one of my favorite movies is a Bronx Tail.
51:12
I don't know if you guys have seen that. Oh, yeah, so
51:15
at the very end, like he does this very cool uh guest appearance at
51:19
the end and he kind of steals the scene. It's really cool. Yeah
51:22
it is. But you know what happened to the kid that played Jim J.
51:28
Bullock. No, it was worse. He murdered. Yeah, he
51:35
messed out and murdered. Well, the other kid, the other guy,
51:37
he got the what is it called Everett, you'll know this one. Like
51:40
he was there when the guy so I guess you get the same penalty.
51:44
But he was there when the guy killed. Okay, yeah, yeah,
51:49
I mean an accomplice maybe is what you're looking at for. They said they
51:52
broke into this guy's house, they stole a bunch of his medication. As
51:55
they were leaving, he jumps out the window. The other guy kills the
52:00
But because he was present, what does that do, that's the same,
52:04
Well, it's it's called the felony murder doctrine. Basically, if you're in
52:07
with other people engaged in a criminal behavior that you know or should know could
52:13
result in someone's death, and it does, then you're on the hook for
52:15
the murder just as much as if you pull the trigger. There was even
52:20
a case one time in which a man and a woman broke into a house
52:23
and stole whatever they stole and escaped and were on the run, and the
52:28
cops caught the man, or actually caught the woman first, had her handcuffed
52:34
in the back of a police car, killed the man, and she was
52:37
charged with his murder, even though he was her husband. Yes, Yes,
52:43
because it's you know, that's the way the rule is applied. If
52:45
you were involved in the commission of a felony that you should reasonably be able
52:51
to foresee could result in someone dying, and someone dies, doesn't matter who,
52:54
even if it's your husband, even if you didn't pull the trigger,
52:57
even if that's the last person on earth you would want to die. It's
53:00
a reason. Even if you're handcuffed in the back of the squad car and
53:02
the gaps are the ones that shot him, you murdered him. Yes,
53:06
God bless America. I'm moving to India. Here we go, Here we
53:15
go, Everett. I have a legal question for you, and it's is
53:22
there still kind of a I don't know if a doctrine is the right word,
53:25
but jury nullification? Is that still like that was a thing for a
53:30
while? Like is that still something that people think about. And I asked
53:34
this because there's a case I think it's it's out of Houston where a guy
53:37
basically he didn't think a child in Lester got punished enough, so we ended
53:42
up killing him. And I'm curious whether they can go at the jury and
53:45
go, yeah he did it, but look who he took out, and
53:51
either hang a jury or not guilty. Well, it's a great question,
53:54
and just for people who don't know dury. Nullification is basically when a jury
54:00
returns a verdict of not guilty, not based on the fact that they think
54:04
that the person is actually not guilty of the crime theracuse of having committed but
54:07
because they think the law is a bad law, and they're basically passing judgment
54:13
on the law. Speaking of passing judgment, thank you for looking at me
54:16
when you said that, it's just it's involuntary. I didn't think you saw
54:24
that. I was like, I was like, yeah, not only did
54:30
I see it, I felt it right here. Yeah, it's totally involuntary.
54:34
That's probably just habit from whoever's the host microphone? Heavy is the head
54:44
that where's the crown? Dre TAM's gone, that's the wrong. But wow,
55:16
I'm sorry every I don't think you got a chance to finish your answer.
55:20
Yeah, d nullification is still a thing. It's been referred to as
55:23
a civil right. There was actually a legal opinion written in which the justice
55:29
who wrote the opinion referred to it as a civil right to which everyone is
55:32
entitled, but that no one can be informed of. And to that end,
55:37
you as a lawyer, can't can't argue jury nullification to a journey judge
55:43
won't let you do that. But they're allowedly whatever they want to during deliberations.
55:47
And so it was if someone passed a note inside the pizza box that
55:52
they get for lunch, well, like who would be passing passing the note?
55:59
I don't know. I've never been on a jury and on how that
56:00
works. Yeah, like like someone from the public, they know they're getting
56:04
food and they wanted they want the jury to know about this jury nullification thing.
56:07
This note. Hey you should try this. Yeah, that's probably not
56:09
a good thing either. Yeah, it's probably they just you just kind of
56:13
need to know about it. You just kind of need to be able to
56:15
go back there and say, you know what I mean, it comes up.
56:19
It used to come up during as I said, slave days, you
56:22
know when in the North people would get No, I'm not saying a racist
56:27
thing like you typically do, Rach. I just thought it was weird that
56:31
you smiled in slave days. No, no, no, I was he
56:37
smiled because because that's actually from slave days. That's all he got June teenth.
56:40
It's like, hey, you're free. But then when then we don't
56:43
tell them for two years? Two years you can take the guy out of
56:46
East Texas well, I feel I feel for harboring slaves or there were people
57:01
charged that. You know, up in the North, no one cared that
57:07
people were harboring slaves. I thought it was a good thing. So they
57:10
would be found not guilty by means of jury nullification even know they were.
57:15
You can do that. That's interesting, Okay, So you can convince a
57:17
journey to just avoid the law. Yeah, you can't argue that, but
57:22
they can go back and render any verdict they want. And it's you know,
57:27
it's whatever, judge, we can't judge overturn that. No, absolutely
57:31
not, that's it. No, no, no, this isn't India.
57:45
All right. I'm really ending this show now because we have crossed over into
57:51
the rare territory that we have learned something but also gotten dumber in the process.
58:00
