00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.359
It is time believe your worries outside and laugh with
2
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.119
us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with Trey
3
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.960
Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Jerry cauld will be along shortly.
4
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.280
I have to admit something that's fairly embarrassing. My brain
5
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.240
tricked me today, trick me good and hard.
6
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:52.079
How's that.
7
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:04.599
I read a headline and I tricked myself into thinking
8
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.280
it was something other than it was. Okay, so I'm
9
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.280
going to read this headline to you, and then I'll
10
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:16.400
tell you how I misinterpreted it. A cheating scandal has
11
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:23.599
rocked the World Stone Skimming Championships. That headline tricked me
12
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:30.519
because I thought it meant a cheating scandal between contestants,
13
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.920
like they were cheating on their spouses with one another
14
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:39.680
and in collusion to fix the World Rock Skimming Championships.
15
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:41.640
I was wrong.
16
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.599
It was less nefarious as far as personal matters, more
17
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:52.120
of a competitive cheating scandal because some of the competitives.
18
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.200
Some of the competitors were found to be using suspiciously
19
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.400
circular stones, and you're supposed to use natural ones. None
20
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.519
of this has anything to do with anybody's spouses. As
21
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.879
far as I know, This is how social media algorithms
22
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.960
can mess with your brain. It's been showing me too
23
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.400
much relationship ye stuff, and I've I started looking too
24
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:17.840
deep into a matter.
25
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.360
And it tricked me. So that's where I am.
26
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.719
And how long have white people been doing this sport?
27
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.319
It's an excellent question. I didn't even know the answer
28
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.599
to that one.
29
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.000
And further record, that's not white bashing.
30
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.520
You're not saying it's bad that, you're not saying it's dumb.
31
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:45.000
And honestly, it's just stereotyping, good old fashioned stereotyping.
32
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:45.919
That's okay, you know.
33
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.319
Honestly, is it white?
34
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.759
Because it doesn't seem stupid enough to be just a
35
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:51.599
white only sport.
36
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.520
Oh, it's white skydiving, it's white.
37
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:56.639
Mountain climbing.
38
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.520
Mountain climbing is white skydiving. I think is kind of
39
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.000
if you don't have a fear of heights. I think
40
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.680
it's kind of open to everybody.
41
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:05.560
Yeah, but have you seen some of the videos where
42
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:10.199
they take like a trampoline up between yes, two hot
43
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.520
air balloons. You know, I I've that just reeks of
44
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.039
of Anglo.
45
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.439
Yeah, yeah, I don't think that's I don't think that's
46
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:19.759
ever been a black guy idea.
47
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.240
Yeah, it's like they had a TV show on called
48
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.719
Extreme Ironing. It was on for one season. I don't
49
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.400
know if you ever saw it, and it's people like
50
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.120
that would iron like on the side of a speedboat,
51
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.840
and I was like every episode, I'm like, here's the
52
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:33.000
whitest people in the world.
53
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:39.039
Sometimes, though, you can get that wrong, because if I
54
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.280
told you that there is a competitive bed making championship,
55
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:44.560
would you assume.
56
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.159
That's white people? Nope? Who would you assume that is?
57
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:55.680
I would go Former Housekeeping, like fifteen year to twenty
58
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.680
year veteran, Hispanic male, Ok, maybe Hispanic female.
59
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.680
They might have a few, so they might have a
60
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.680
few competitors. I don't know, but the Competitive bed Making
61
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.560
Championships was loaded with Asian.
62
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.759
Asian Oh Asian people too.
63
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.280
Yeah, yeah, I can see that as well. And I
64
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.000
tell you what, man, you want to see how to
65
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.800
make a fricking bed? My god?
66
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.600
Yeah, and that includes putting the comforter in the duvet
67
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:21.639
cover with the buttons.
68
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.519
Oh wow, I was I've seen a lot of.
69
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.000
Things online that will blow my mind, but seeing someone
70
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.639
fill a duvet cover with a down comforter in seconds
71
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:33.560
every single time mind blown.
72
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.160
Yeah, when they when they do the when housekeeping comes
73
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.439
in here and they do my bed, it takes I
74
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.680
mean all of about three minutes and they're done, like
75
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.560
it's fantastic, Like it takes it takes them longer to
76
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.759
do like the bathroom stuff. Yeah, and it does for
77
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.560
the bet because they have that. It's down to a science.
78
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.600
And I've stood there, just just stood there with the
79
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.519
dog and just watch. I was like, look, I touched
80
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.439
my dog. I was like, you need to watch this.
81
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.639
This is a ma. You're trying to tell your puppy
82
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.040
you don't know how good you have it.
83
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.319
That's exactly right.
84
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.000
So anyway, the World Stone Skimming Championships were recently rocked
85
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.879
by a cheating scandal. Not cheating spouses that were competitors
86
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.319
or anything like that, now, just the actual rocks they
87
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.000
were using. Some competitors were found to be using suspiciously
88
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.279
circular stones. Here in the States, we typically refer to
89
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.079
it as stone skipping, but I guess across the pond
90
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.959
they call it stone Skimming Championships. According to the competition's rules,
91
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.879
stones must come from naturally occurring island slate and fit
92
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.000
through a device called the ring.
93
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:44.800
Of Truth.
94
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.319
To ensure they are the right size.
95
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.959
I'll tell you right now, it's pretty impressive that a
96
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.399
predominantly white sport would be brave enough to have any
97
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.160
item called the Ring of Truth to ensure they're the
98
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:05.160
right size. By the way, the Ring of Truth allows
99
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.279
for stones no bigger than three inches in diameter. So
100
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.959
maybe another reason why this is such a popular sport
101
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:11.800
among the whites.
102
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.399
I don't want to know how they measured the wrongs
103
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:28.199
with stones to find someone with four inches four inches.
104
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.680
I mean, but imagine the trash talking would just be legendary.
105
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.519
I skip with the stones from stone Hinge.
106
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.240
Their performance enhancing rocks.
107
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:48.360
Yes, sorry, it was a competition hosted by the Rock.
108
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.000
That would be amazing. That's a beautiful branding opportunity.
109
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.920
The Rock Skimming Championships organizer said that when the offenders
110
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.600
were caught, they held their hands up and ultimately apologized.
111
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.959
They were eventually disqualified. He did say there was a
112
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.439
little bit of stone doctoring. They shaped it so that
113
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.240
it was perfectly circular and fitted our three inch measurer.
114
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.399
The problem was we didn't just notice at the time
115
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:21.680
that they were using suspiciously circular The event was held
116
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:29.120
in Scotland. It was actually eventually won by an American
117
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:34.800
Yay Go America named Jonathan Jennings. He managed to skip
118
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.480
his stones for a total of how many feet do
119
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.399
you think? How many feet do you think? American Jonathan
120
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.759
Jennings skipped a rock to become the world champion in
121
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.360
World rock skimming.
122
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.040
So he said, how many skips?
123
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:53.399
How many feet?
124
00:07:53.759 --> 00:08:00.959
How many feet? Here eighty.
125
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:02.519
Raj?
126
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:08.279
And he guesses, op, he is so stunned. He locked up,
127
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:14.800
just like me the other day, Raj, What is your guess?
128
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:19.839
How many feet do you think? American World Rock Skimming Championship,
129
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.480
World rock Skimming Champion Jonathan Jennings skipped a stone to win?
130
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.759
How many feet?
131
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.839
How many feet?
132
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:29.560
Six and a half?
133
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.720
All right, Trey's guess was eighty eighty feet? You are
134
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.000
both way way low this.
135
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:46.000
This guy skipped a rock five hundred and eighty feet
136
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:53.200
roughly two football fields. Think about the longest skip you
137
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:58.960
ever got out of a stone. And now watch this
138
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.600
guy just a literated yes, because my number is zero.
139
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:06.159
You've never done it?
140
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:07.759
No, you never?
141
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.000
Or is it because you tried and failed or you
142
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:10.919
just never even tried.
143
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.759
I've never seen the the reason to try to skip
144
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:20.559
a stone across water. Oh, my dad's never like, son,
145
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.840
let's let's go out by the pond and you know,
146
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.960
reminisce about things in the and then skip stone like
147
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:28.559
we didn't do that.
148
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.120
It was commercial.
149
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.480
He didn't take you around the shoulders and pull you
150
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.279
in and say, today's son, I'm going to show you
151
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.200
some things. I'm going to show you some things that
152
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:37.720
every father shows his son.
153
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:39.240
He did.
154
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.639
And then it was like math books and physics books
155
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.600
and calculator from.
156
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.440
T I and you weren't allowed to skip any of those.
157
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.080
No.
158
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.799
No, Yeah, I'm incredible.
159
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.720
I am absolutely stuck five hundred and eighty feet for
160
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.960
shooting a rock across the surface of a body of water.
161
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.639
That is stunning to me. Yeah.
162
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.200
How big is that arm just one side? It's massive?
163
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.799
Or is he an ambidextrious skipper? I don't know how
164
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.039
that works. I don't know the categories. Is it like
165
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.399
you know, number of skips or length of y like
166
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.200
you're saying, is there purely?
167
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:20.879
It's purely how far can it go?
168
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:23.919
Okay, that's why Maybe it's that's why it called skimming,
169
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:25.600
because it's skimming off the top. They don't care how
170
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.120
many times it bounces.
171
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.720
Yeah, honestly because if if you're really thinking about it, though,
172
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.320
at five hundred and eighty feet, I don't think you'd
173
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.679
be able to physically count how many skips that stone makes,
174
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.960
Like you'd have to do it by computer or something.
175
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:51.039
Yeah, well, what's the what's the prize like for something
176
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:51.360
like that?
177
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:53.559
I don't know.
178
00:10:55.519 --> 00:11:00.840
I was just more concerned about the uh, the cheating scandal. Okay,
179
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.320
it says here the competition does not involve millions in winnings.
180
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.320
It's held annually to raise money for local causes, including
181
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:15.919
several community projects and charities. So uh, basically bragging rights. Yeah,
182
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:17.000
it's a charity event.
183
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:20.639
So not near as scandalous as the bass fishing you know,
184
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.279
tournament cheating that went on.
185
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.720
No, because that was serious money involved, as we know
186
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:26.480
from years ago.
187
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.159
Yeah, that involved stuff in weights down our.
188
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:34.759
Mouth, plus the stuff with the fish.
189
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:46.440
Yeah, you're in the Treehouse.

Let's get Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration
192
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.200
into the Treehouse, where we've spent a fair amount of
193
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.480
time Recentlyannel on the show discussing various animals and their
194
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.039
nasty afflictions. It wasn't that long ago we were talking
195
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.639
about the tentacle bunnies, the Frankenstein bunnies, and recently we've
196
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.159
heard about the zombies squirrels. These are the ones with
197
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.320
pus filled wart sores on their heads, terrorizing backyards in
198
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.039
North America.
199
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.320
And I'm wondering, as.
200
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.200
A roofing guy, have you seen any zombie squirrels, any
201
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.440
any tentacle bunnies, any other creature that you've seen that
202
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.720
we need to let people know about, any any roof demons.
203
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.600
Actually, I'm been very fortunate. I have not seen anything
204
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.519
in person like that, but I did. I looked all
205
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.039
of those up. The pictures are kind of scary. I mean,
206
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:42.440
I'd be honest with you, if I saw one of
207
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.279
those bunnies or squirrels in my yard, I'd be like,
208
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:44.879
what the hell?
209
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.480
So maybe, well, just imagine the homeowner when you get
210
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.360
down from that free roof inspection. You got to tell them, all, right, look,
211
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.159
the good news is your roof is good. The bad
212
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.720
news is you got zombie squirrels.
213
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.759
You got zombie squirrels. How about that? That would almost
214
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.440
be like a new spin off of the company. We
215
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.440
could be like the zombie squirrel exterminators. That'd be awesome,
216
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.679
but that is very common. You get squirrels in times
217
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.159
of roofs all the time. People don't understand how, but
218
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.039
they can chew and they can claw through that wood
219
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.159
trim that's around their corners of your homes. And that's
220
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.399
very very common, especially in that older Plino Original Allen
221
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.559
Original McKinney area, all that old you know wood homes,
222
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.080
late eighties, early nineties, that those roads.
223
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.080
We had that issue with our house in Carlton. The
224
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.200
house was built in the firement. It was built in
225
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:37.440
the early eighties and we had to have some soffit
226
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.639
repair because squirrels had found away into those areas And
227
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.559
we're running rampant in our in our in our attic and.
228
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.240
That happens a lot. But how terrifying you'd be laying
229
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.480
in bed at night and you could hear the zombie
230
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:57.759
squirrels walking around up there going nuts, nuts, brains whatever.
231
00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:58.480
I don't know.
232
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.519
