Episode 76-We're Going To Be Blind and Dumb · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:23
It is time to leave your worries outside and join us inside the treehouse.
0:31
Us being meet Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Day four.
0:37
We're on Day four because today's Thursday of Super Stupid Week inside the Treehouse
0:42
leading up to Super Bowl fifty eight in Las Vegas. We are not at
0:48
Radio Row because number one, we are not on the radio, and number
0:51
two, even when we were on the radio, we didn't go because they
0:54
didn't want to pay for us to go to the super Bowl because they would
0:59
well, they knew better. Whereas we are doing our own celebration of the
1:04
Super Bowl leading up to the Super Bowl Super Stupid Week inside the Treehouse,
1:07
culminating that's right, we know, big words in here, culminating with a
1:12
big live show maybe on Monday, the day after the Super Bowl, as
1:18
long as I get all the technology figured out between now and then, and
1:21
based on yesterday's fiasco with quote unquote on air talent trying to be engineers at
1:27
the same time. This is the reason why radio stations have different departments with
1:32
people doing different things, mainly being keep the on air talent idiots away from
1:37
as much of the equipment and the important stuff as possible, because that's the
1:41
engineer's job. So we've had to learn from engineering on our end. Hang
1:45
on, So given that model, what happens when you don't have either what
1:55
engineers are on air talent? Uh, well, you get a freaky situation.
2:09
I was wondering how to phrase it, and you did. You did
2:13
it? Say it right? But well done, you know what. I
2:19
wasn't gonna say anything like that. But but Trey opened those doors up so
2:23
wide, and I saw it on his face. He wanted me to bring
2:25
it home and I said, okay, I'll do it for you. Trey.
2:29
Thank you. There are some very very talented freaks out there. There's
2:35
also some that aren't, but there are some there. I've played my diplomatic
2:40
role a little bit there. Yeah. Anyway, No, just just just
2:47
just a few the not the caro what I think anyway, The the dangerous
2:54
side of any sort of content creation, be it broadcast, digital is if
3:01
you have to do your own engineering. And that's a very scary thing for
3:06
someone like me to do. But I've had to learn a fair amount over
3:07
to over the last year plus, and I now am I believe in addition
3:13
to being the owner and president or whatever other made up title I want to
3:15
give myself like a like a vp AT. iHeart made up titles run amuck
3:23
inside the treehouse. So I am the owner, I'm the president. I
3:27
could call myself CEO, even though it's not really applicable in our setup.
3:31
I'm also I'm also now head of it, which is terrifying that I should
3:37
be in charge of anything involving it. That should be my job it stereotypically
3:42
speaking, it should be. But instead it's me and Tredy, the two
3:45
white guys trying to tell Raj the Indian how to get his Internet in computer
3:49
working. I know. That's that's the sad thing. And the truth matter
3:53
is is that you know, this is all a product of the fact that
3:58
the greatest accelerator, innovator of the Internet and technology is porn. So and
4:03
your only Dan's accounts. You know, you you have to stay on the
4:06
forefront. Yeah, I mean, you've got to sell as many dandos as
4:11
you can. Yeah. Speaking of which, oh, okay, if if
4:18
all things go according to plan, which sometimes they do in here, sometimes
4:24
they don't. But if all things go according to plan, we will be
4:29
introducing a brand new Dando tomorrow inside the Treehouse. Wow, did we have
4:33
a a former Dando? Oh, there's there's many former There's there's a whole
4:40
product line raj okay, and it's been a while since h p LD Inc.
4:46
Has released a new one, and that will also be in celebration of
4:51
the Super Bowl. Oh really, Okay, Well, I hope the I
4:57
hope the shipping. The shipping is swift. That's not the only thing that
5:02
will be swift. All right. There's something that very important that we need
5:11
to discuss here five minutes into this Thursday episode of Day five of Super Stupid
5:17
Week Inside the Treehouse, and that is Trey, you now have something new
5:24
you can whip out on dates. Yes, I do. And uh,
5:30
reach into my pants and pull this out. I'm gonna, I'm gonna.
5:36
Okay, what is it, Trey. I'll let you do the honors for
5:43
ra You can tell him what what what resides in your pants that you'll be
5:48
whipping out on dates consensually? Well, I mean actually probably probably not.
5:59
There might be a little embarrassment with this. I just like, look at
6:01
it this way. It is impressive, Okay, to soak people to others.
6:08
It might scare some Yeah, oh wow, I'm gonna show it to
6:13
you. Oh god, oh well done. But Trey is now an official
6:20
card carrying member of the Association for Retired Persons. If you if you break
6:30
that out on a first date, just just know that every Indian everywhere is
6:35
like, he's one of us. They're just gonna change on like tree ish
6:46
Ish is one of us. Tradgend, we love tragenda. He's one of
6:55
us. I've put it off Applebee's. I'm very excited for you, Trey,
7:03
card carrying member. What's the what the letters stand for again? It's
7:06
a ARP. Is it the American Association for Retired Persons? I think it's
7:13
the Association for the Advancement of Retired Persons Retired People, I think. I
7:19
think you're taking two organizations. I don't think. I don't think there was
7:28
a merger between a ARP and the nub A CP. I feel like that
7:32
would have made news, Trey. That would have been great association. It's
7:38
not enough to be recognized as a retired person, but we also need to
7:42
make sure that they advanced. Oh somewhere somewhere, big state, who is
8:01
one of our favorite listeners. And he also happens to be a black man,
8:05
and I believe he is close to, if not of the age to
8:09
have an AARP card. Is flipping it over right now to see if it's
8:16
a twofer. The National Association for the Advancement of Retired People, or I
8:30
mean, according to Trey, if with that merger would have been great for
8:33
the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Retired People, Like that'd be amazing.
8:48
I would be so proud to be a member. You know, early
8:54
nine minutes into this and I feel like this treehouse is overflowing with stupid I'd
9:01
also like to give us credit on picking up the flag and for the advancement
9:09
of retired people, a flag that clearly no one else had the courage to
9:13
pick up. We'll be doing to five k next month retired people, but
9:28
not just for retired people, the advancement. We'll try to make Wilford Brimley's
9:39
birthday a national holiday. Started oatmeal the whole time. Oh well, that
9:54
does remind me that you are to at the same age as Wilfred Brimley h
10:00
when he's starting cocoon. That is a piece of information that you told us
10:03
a week or two ago, and I have not forgotten. It was,
10:11
yeah, like we can age them up, We're good. So I'm uh,
10:20
I'm wondering, Tray. So, have you had a chance to use
10:22
your AARP card yet? Did? Were you able to use that when you
10:28
had tire trouble on seventy five the other day? No? And the only
10:33
reason because I used my Triple A membership for that, But no, Yeah,
10:39
I was going to McKinney. And what's triple A? Is that for
10:43
the advancement of automobiles? Shouldn't be triple AARP? How many cards do you
10:58
have? You're just bragging at this point, Triple A. And I think
11:11
I think, I think Big Stacey gave you one of his a few years
11:13
back. I don't remember. I remember which car that was, Dan,
11:20
Do you remember, Nope. The advantage of having a poor memory, it's
11:30
kept me out of trouble many times. That was I do not recall that,
11:35
Senator. You know the only thing you didn't do was cover the mic
11:41
and then just look over at somebody like getting advice. I did not recall.
11:50
I have no recollection of anyway. Uh, You're okay though, after
11:56
the after the the trouble on seventy five. What happened? I just I
12:01
my right front tire. I luckily I felt it. I felt something wrong,
12:07
and so I was able to get over to the right lane, and
12:11
luckily I was right by the Virginia Parkway exit. So the scariest thing actually
12:16
for me was I had Daisy with me, and so I'm like worried that
12:22
if, yeah, something happens that I when I drive and for long distances
12:26
or anything like over fifteen minutes. I put her in her kennel and I
12:30
actually strap it in the car like a car seat. So everything was okay.
12:35
Just it's anytime you're stranded on the highway, it is scary. Well,
12:39
I think I think actually having Daisy, your three pounds shuahua with you
12:46
while having car trouble with being an advantage, because I mean there are plenty
12:48
of men that pull over for stranded bitches and twoss ones too. Really long
13:09
time dot com that's how she flags down that roadside assistance. I had a
13:20
flat and I got a set of four new tires. Let's get Jacquelin from
13:33
Brooks Plumbing into the treehouse now two one, four through six, eight thirty
13:35
eight thirty eight is the number you need to call for any and all of
13:37
those plumbing once and needs. The website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com. Uh
13:43
I think famous last words, most of the bad, deep hard freezes are
13:48
going to be behind us in North Texas. But does that mean people are
13:52
out of the woods and that they're plumbing's okay or could there still be problems
13:56
that come up. I think at this point, if you've had a freeze,
14:00
you know about it, even if it was really small. I mean,
14:03
unless there's just rooms that you never go in, there's no way that
14:07
you wouldn't know. At this point in time. I still see people trying
14:11
to pass it off in insurance claims, and that's interesting. And so I
14:16
had a claim that I did for a homeowner here recently and they're, oh,
14:20
it was the freeze and it was a new build and it was not
14:24
a freeze. It was just poor construction. And I've actually kind of been
14:28
seeing that in the industry. There's been I don't want to say which home
14:33
builder, there's been a lot of just houses just kind of almost falling down,
14:39
you know, things that weren't completed, joys that weren't properly put together.
14:45
So if you're buying a new new house, you still need to have
14:48
your brand new house inspected. I don't know how we went from freezing to
14:50
that, but new houses are not excused from being defective in any capacity,
14:56
so still get those looked at. I think we got there because anytime I
14:58
asked you a question, you always give a very smart, well informed answer,
15:03
and you sometimes expand to other areas, making me feel smart and well
15:07
informed. So thank you. You can get that as well. So called

15:33
which it was there on that day when they're trying to figure out how to

15:39
figured that one out, just staring at the ball. All right, pretty
15:41

15:46

One of the things that I was looking forward to with this super stupid week
17:53
doing multiple shows, uh you know, days in a row like we used
18:00
to do on the radio, was being able to talk about things in a
18:03
more timely fashion, like being able to mention, you know, Toby Keith
18:06
and Carl Weather's dying, or the fact that Trey got his advancement of Retired
18:11
Person's card in the mail this week that I might have had to have you
18:18
might have had to have waited a whole additional week to hear about that,
18:19
But we were able to inform you almost immediately of that wonderful news to hit
18:26
Trey's home and you and you, and you got it in February, so
18:32
you just in time for Valentine's to Day and Black History Month? Is there
18:45
a Retired Person's Month or is that just? Is that every month? So
18:57
the reason why I bring up the advantage of being able to talk about things
19:00
as they happen in a more timely fashion, we can actually talk about current
19:04
events as they currently happen. I would like to bring up a story we
19:08
heard about many weeks ago, and that is the news that came out about
19:17
some kid beating Tetris Wow. And that was serious news to me because I
19:23
didn't even know that was possible. Like I was able to beat some video
19:29
games back in my day, you know, I was able to beat Sonic
19:32
the Hedgehog, two. I believe I even beat Mario Brothers a couple of
19:37
times while I, you know, make sure I found the secret tunnels that
19:41
help you skip like fifteen levels and get to the end. I was able
19:44
to do that. You know, there are some other games I've I've been
19:48
quote unquote successful at beating. Did you ever beat Mike Tyson? I did
19:55
I even beat Mike Tyson back in the day. Okay, I still there
19:59
are there are There are two. There are two games though that I have
20:03
not beaten. One is Mario Kart against my wife. Right, she's the
20:11
uh, she's the title She's the title holder in Mario Karton in our house,
20:15
and it's it's really truly mean of her. Whenever she says, hey,
20:18
you want to you want to play Mario Kart tonight, she might as
20:22
well just say, hey, do you want many kick your ass? Tonight?
20:23
Was like. And the other is Tetris. I loved Tetris when it
20:27
came out. I had a Game Boy, the old black and white thing,
20:30
and I played the hell out of Tetris. I never even knew it
20:33
was possible to beat that game. Well. And then a few weeks ago
20:37
news breaks that some kid actually did it? Oh kid did it? Huh?
20:41
What'sh what's style of asion? Was he? It's the truly rare Asian
20:48
raj and that is the Oklahoma no, no living in Oklahoma. It's an
21:00
Oklahoma kid, and I think he's unless he's an even rarer find of Oklahoma
21:04
white Asian. His name is Willis Gibson. No, it's not. He
21:14
adopted the whitest sounding name, but like Vietnamese kid adopted by the Gibsons,
21:18
and they just named him based on the you look it up. Look up
21:23
some kid beat Tetris. You'll see a photo. It's a kid in some
21:26
glasses. He's thirteen years old and he's from Oklahoma. He did not beat
21:33
Okay, this is what this is. Okay, you guys got the story
21:37
wrong. How what white kids don't beat Tetris? Okay, this was right.
21:44
Hey if if his name was Patel, then you would be like,
21:47
yeah, okay, I believe it solid Yeah, okay, yeah, like
21:53
you know, to lean into hy stereotypes, it's not okay for us.
22:00
I just try to get a clarification. I'm just asking you, guys,
22:03
what was the last time you guys wanted spelling bee? You think you're going
22:04
to break Tetris. Let's let's be honest about our stereotypes. But if it
22:08
was like, hey, I believe the spelling bee was broken for white people
22:12
when that when that little white boy was asked to spell nigus. After that,
22:21
no white kids wanted to even try out. They're like, we're not
22:23
doing this anymores. Okay, that one's fair. The words are stacked against
22:30
us at that. They're like, can we skip this word? Like he
22:33
should have like I'd like to pass. Uh no, I'm re okay.
22:37
So if it would have been like schrasian Jing beat Tetras, something like that
22:41
sounds that sounds about right when it's like oky thirteen year old Oklahoma Willis Gipson,
22:47
and I just looked it up. He didn't beat Tetris. He crashed
22:51
the system. He got I'll give him enough. He got to the high
22:56
enough level to where it crashed the system. It crashed the game. He
23:00
didn't. He didn't. He didn't beat it. That's because the game didn't
23:03
have any it didn't have any more moves, so it just old. It
23:06
always has more moves. The viral video of Willis Gibson's thirty eight minute game
23:11
posted under his blue Scooty screen name, is the latest spike in nostalgia for
23:15
the addictive and enduring game created by a Soviet engineer in nineteen eighty four,
23:21
which, by the way, was a good movie on Apple Plus Yes and
23:25
popularized the Nintendo Entertainment system. To date, over two hundred official variants of
23:30
Tetris have been released on at least seventy systems. Let's see thirty eight minute
23:41
viral video Willis Gibson said, after his feet I'm going to pass out.
23:47
I can't feel my fingers. You know, ironically, I too had that
23:53
experience as a thirteen year old, but it certainly a blind to I did
24:22
not go blind permanently, at least at least not permanently. Maybe maybe that's
24:30
where the memory loss comes from. If that's the case, we're all screwed.
24:37
That's the real cause of dementia. That will be a blank slate by
24:45
sixty I would hate to be that hospice care seeing your forms. You don't
25:00
wanna. It's gonna be a sticky It's a sticky situation. You want to
25:03
Oh God, don't go in there. All right, we will see you
25:17
tomorrow for a special Friday edition Inside the Treehouse. See you in there, se
