00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.000
It is time to leave your worries
outside and laugh with us inside the treehouse.
2
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:37.640
I'm Dan O'Malley along with Trade Trendholm
and Raj Sharma on a very special
3
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.320
day, not just in the treehouse, but in the O'Malley house. Because
4
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:51.039
not only have we had electricity now
for twelve hours plus straight, the only
5
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:59.840
thing that could put us on a
higher cloud is the joy that my wife
6
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:07.359
is currently experiencing. I don't know
how it is in your relationship, Raj
7
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:15.760
or Tray, in your previous relationships, but there seems to be no greater
8
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:25.680
feeling in a home than when the
misses is proved right. Oh yeah,
9
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.439
not that the proof was necessary,
but the proof is good and it is
10
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:40.840
just, and it is empowering because
with every time one is declared correct or
11
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.280
right, it emboldens you. Right. So, now imagine you are right
12
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.239
hundreds of times over. You're gonna
have quite a bit of confidence in your
13
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.680
intuition, your suspicions, all these
things. Right. Now, imagine you
14
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:05.079
are right one hundred plus time's over
on just one instance, and you will
15
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.439
maybe start to understand a sliver of
a fraction of a morsel of a nugget
16
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.560
of the joy my wife is currently
experiencing for being right. What were you
17
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:27.159
wrong about? Wait you wait,
I don't like your assumption, sir.
18
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.719
I'll stand by it, though.
This is one time you should olay that
19
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:43.199
that assumption because this, in this
instance, I am not wrong. Yeah,
20
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.199
I mean you said it with confidence, So I am not wrong in
21
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.360
this instance. I am on her
side the whole way through. Okay,
22
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:55.319
gotcha. So you're you're you're writing
her right, yes, like a magic
23
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:02.680
carpet ride. Oh so that's an
Indian Wow. Okay, I gotta take
24
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:09.360
him where I can. It's yeah. Anyways, so you guys remember all
25
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:15.439
the troubles we've had with bats,
Right, that's among us bats in our
26
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.319
bedroom. And by bats, I
mean two that we saw fly around the
27
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.479
bedroom on two separate instances. Right, two separate incidents of bats flying around
28
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.280
the bedroom. Now, wait,
so you had the old place where you
29
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.319
had bats, and then you had
the hitchhiker stowaway bat that came to your
30
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.319
new place. Yes, okay,
yes, as further proof of the infestation
31
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:51.759
of bats in our previous home.
Right, So that makes three instances of
32
00:03:52.520 --> 00:04:00.439
bat interactions, right, which led
my wife to contact the bat ex spurt
33
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.840
at the University of the Virgin Islands. They have a department I guess for
34
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:12.199
flying rodents, and they they have
a professor I swear. This is like
35
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.120
this is like a like a like
a horror movie first act where something happens,
36
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.319
you get your inciting incident, and
to help explain it, you got
37
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.079
to go to the local university to
find the expert that just happens to be
38
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.720
the expert of that thing in that
small town. And that's and that's what
39
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.399
my wife did. She contacted the
bat expert at the University of the Virgin
40
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:45.199
Islands and this morning my wife and
batwoman drove to the house we used to
41
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:51.120
live in to investigate the bat infestation. So she's always scared of them at
42
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:59.240
night, my wife, Yes,
No, I think she'd be you know,
43
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.040
afraid of them during the day when
they're flying around her head at a
44
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.680
million miles per hour. Isn't that
what they would be doing if you drove
45
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.360
to them. Well, you have
to drive if you're going to investigate the
46
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.199
bats. You can't do it from
you know, four miles away. You
47
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.279
have to actually go where the bats
are. Rah. Yeah, yeah,
48
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:25.040
So Tara and the bat expert that
I've dubbed Batwoman drive to the house that
49
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:31.879
we used to live, where the
bats still reside, and they proceed with
50
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:43.879
an investigation into the bats. And
I know my wife was right because I
51
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.680
heard the bats, not as loudly
as she did over the months that we
52
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.800
lived there, but I also heard
them. They were loud, and you
53
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.839
could tell that there was more than
one. And then you had the three
54
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:59.839
different instances of bats flying around our
bedroom. And so we needed the expert.
55
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.519
Need the expert to come out because
sometimes these creatures might be protected and
56
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:10.240
you don't want to do anything that
might get you in trouble. So Tara
57
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.759
and the bat expert go to where
we used to live for the bat investigation
58
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.480
with the landlord. Okay, and
not only does the bat experts say,
59
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:25.600
yeah, you got bats, but
she says, you don't just have a
60
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.759
few bats. You don't have a
handful of bats. You don't have several
61
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.959
bats, which is you know,
when the treehouse is at seven, you
62
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:41.160
have hundreds of bats. It turns
out for six months my wife and I
63
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:46.439
were living in a bat cave.
You are badman. I'm not, at
64
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:54.560
least not knowingly. I mean,
one could say, you were living in
65
00:06:54.600 --> 00:07:02.040
a bat cave for years. Yeah, but that was a figurative bat cave.
66
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:09.120
Now my life has transitioned from figurative
into literal living in a bat cave
67
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:15.720
wow, here on the island.
So it was very interesting to uh to
68
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.800
hear the report back as as Tara
and the university bat expert say that,
69
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:26.800
yeah, you weren't just living with
like one family. I made this specific
70
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:34.319
note the I was told that they
suspect the species of bat that's been tormenting
71
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:48.240
us is the really terrifyingly named velvety
free tailed bat. Sounds vicious, thank
72
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:58.959
you. Trey was adorably lovable.
Taken Yeah, maybe silky smooth. They
73
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.279
went with velvety Yeah, velvety free
tailed bat. Yeah, it doesn't sound
74
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.680
like a menacing bat. It sounds
like if Berry White was a bat y
75
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:15.759
so velvety vicious, something that might
make this seem more. That's a great
76
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.800
pimp name, by the way,
velvety vishal what's that, baby, I'm
77
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.199
velvety visious. That's what I'm going
on. As for Halloween this year,
78
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:37.279
oh so, uh, the terrifyingly
named velvety free tailed bat is believed to
79
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.200
be the species that was tormenting us
during our sleep. And again, this
80
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.919
wasn't just a couple of the bats
that we saw, and not just one
81
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.639
family, but the bat expert believes
that this is a colony of hundreds of
82
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.919
bats, likely all to be females
with their babies. In other words,
83
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.840
not only were we living in a
bat cave, but it was a batman
84
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.519
tternity ward as she called it.
Wow, so what is she going to
85
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.159
do with it? Like, how
do you? Is she going to remove
86
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.200
them? And then the next see
the next step for the bat expert is
87
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.519
she's now going to pull a Jane
Goodall and she's going to go live with
88
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:20.279
them for a bit. Oh,
so she just needs some place to stay.
89
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.279
Yeah, it turns out bad experts
don't make a ton of money.
90
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:31.120
She just needs a place to crash. Yeah. Were they all residing in
91
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:37.159
the attic? Yes, so our
suspicion. In addition to there being a
92
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.159
lot of bats therefore terra being right, there was also our suspicion that they
93
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:50.440
were residing in between the corrugated roof
and the actual wood ceiling, you know
94
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.600
rafters, right, So they gap
between those two, the gap between the
95
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.759
ceiling and the roof and that is
in fact where they were, because they
96
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.519
even got a pinhole type camera.
The landlord did this and snaked it up
97
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:11.480
in between in that gap and found
what did she say, generations of batpoop
98
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:20.080
of guana, generations of guano wow
in the ceiling. Yeah, generations.
99
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.080
That's insane. Okay, So she's
gonna stay with them for a second.
100
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.799
Yeah. So the next thing she's
going to do is she's going to go
101
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:35.200
back and she is going to observe
them in their natural habitat of the house
102
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:41.039
we used to live in. And
uh, and so she's gonna, you
103
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.120
know, observe them coming and going. Everything that Tara told her checked all
104
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.279
the boxes for you. Yeah,
these are bats because they would come and
105
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.960
go at a certain time, they'd
make noises. And the expert was saying,
106
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.200
yeah, this is you know this, everything you're saying makes sense to
107
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.679
when the mama bats would come and
go and then come home and feed the
108
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.879
baby. Yeah, and they would
ship everywhere. Yeah. Luckily none of
109
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.200
it seeped through the ceiling, so
we didn't see it, although it was
110
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.159
really interesting. Tara was saying,
as the bat expert uh climbed up the
111
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:22.720
house steps she's not also a spider
woman. Tara said she could smell the
112
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.759
bat expert could smell of the bats. Yes, what's gonna do? What
113
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:37.840
is she accomplished by living with them? Nothing? Rent free? It's hard
114
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.559
to find long term rentals here.
Frankly, they're quite expensive. So I'm
115
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:52.960
surprised this lady is not Indian David
them indefinitely and generations of shit that we
116
00:11:52.120 --> 00:12:00.200
have generations of. So uh so, again, Tara wasn't just right about
117
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.879
a handful of bats. She was
in fact right, yeah, hundreds of
118
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:11.440
times over on one thing. And
now she's basically going to be the next
119
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:18.639
villain in the Avengers franchise. That's
how powerful she's now become on being right
120
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.120
so many times in in her life, but especially with this one exponential moment.
121
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:30.120
She's Kane's rash right. This is
gonna be the next Netflix special Curry
122
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:37.320
and Guano, and you'll be right
there to watch it with Daisy Dray.
123
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.879
She's gonna lean over one night,
And like, I was born in darkness,
124
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:56.960
and I hope, I hope that
that expert actually does go around telling
125
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:03.639
people that she was born in darkness. And this is the University of the
126
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.519
Virgin Islands. Is that what you
said? Yeah, real school, it's
127
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.600
not. But okay, it's a
real it's a real building. How about
128
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:26.080
that boy and hey, it's at
least as real as Walden University. It's
129
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.759
right next to Debrye. That's good. I don't think I ever had a
130
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:39.039
bat program. Neither does the University
of the Virgin Islands. That just sounds
131
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:45.200
like it comes with the Margarita machine. It's on the it's on the opposite
132
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.960
end of the island from Margaritaville.
So no, it's actually yeah, okay,
133
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.480
so it's a it's a private island. It's nice. It's an all
134
00:13:52.519 --> 00:14:05.000
inclusive it's an all inclusive university.
Seven nights in a degree. Don't forget
135
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.919
about the shows every night. It's
a place where mixology is actually a degree
136
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:20.840
in shots at the swim up bar
mixology from the University of the Vision Islands.
137
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.440
Seriously, where was that school when
it came time to look up universities
138
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.720
when we were all into high school. It's like that would have been the
139
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:33.600
same place it is now. Not
real. It's at the table next to
140
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:43.279
Hogwarts. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at treehouse on air

dot com eight three three. Cook
df W is the website to reach cookdf
142

W roofing and restoration specific Daniel Cook
and carry Cook and you can get a
143
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.399
free roof inspection. And speaking of
that free roof inspection, I know if
144
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.600
someone wants to sell their house,
the roof can be a bit of an
145
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.679
issue when it comes to selling that
property. So probably a good idea to
146
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.039
have you come out and look at
it before the house gets listed, right
147
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.360
Daniel, Dan, that's a perfect
situation right there. The market is very
148
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:26.600
tough. We already know that the
houses are you know, they have to
149
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.799
shine. And if you are going
to think about selling your home, we
150
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.960
offer service that not many, not
many companies do. We come out,
151
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.000
we inspect not just your roof,
but we we look at your house as
152
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.559
a whole and we say these are
some things that might come up when a
153
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.840
buyer comes along and their inspector comes
out and looks at your house. Because
154
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.799
when an inspector comes out on the
buyer side, they're going to come out
155
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.000
and they're going to nitpick that home
from one side to the other. And
156
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.879
you have only two or three days
to make a decision. How much money
157
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.279
you're going to give the buyer to
get those things repared. Are are some
158
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.600
type of money back to them?
And so would you not rather be on
159
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.200
the side of already knowing what your
house looks like before you go into option
160
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.679
period. And that's the thing we
do. We come out and look at
161
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.879
the roof, the gutters, the
garage door, the siding, the windows,
162
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.000
the fence. We'd give you an
analysis of your home and so that
163
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.759
way you know before you even put
your house on the market what it looks
164
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.639
like. So yeah, perfect opportunity
to let us come out and do that
165
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.919
for you. Be smart. Contact

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.960
big day, not just inside the
Treehouse but for us as the Treehouse Podcast
180
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:47.319
Network, because that's how I started
the business. That's what it is.
181
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:52.160
I started it as Treehouse Podcast Network, not just singular, but a whole
182
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.400
network because I've got a vision.
I want us to be big at more
183
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.119
than one show, and in order
to be a network, you have to
184
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:03.759
have more than one show. We
now have more than one show. Trey
185
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:10.400
Raj, I know you have met
Farmers Branch police officer Steve Rutherford a few
186
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:15.480
times over the years, and we
hung out with him and his wife and
187
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:21.279
other police friends at the most recent
Treehouse road show at Shaker Times in Addison
188
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:26.720
for Christmas and not long after that, Steve and I started discussing the possibility
189
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:34.160
of doing a show, and I
think in order to truly release this show
190
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:41.359
into the wild, let's bring Steve
now. Steve Rutherford from Offbeat The Light
191
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:47.599
Side of Law Enforcement, a part
of the Treehouse podcast Network. Yes,
192
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.480
hey, how you guys doing.
See that's that's how you get a nice
193
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:57.880
treehouse lackluster welcome. I just like
the fact he has nicer you know,
194
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.200
facilities in all of us. Yeah, Steve doesn't mess around, he's I
195
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.240
don't see Steve, were you military
at all? Nope? Your gung ho.
196
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.200
That's why I ask because you are
a hard charger. As soon as
197
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.839
as soon as Steve and I started
talking about, you know, doing a
198
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.720
show, doing a podcast, he
started buying stuff before I could even tell
199
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.279
him what to get. I think
there was that that's that studio that he's
200
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.960
in right now is I believe a
bedroom that he kicked one of the kids
201
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.519
out of just so they could put
the podcast studio in there. But you
202
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.599
know they have to learn somehow,
right, Yeah, it's a real world.
203
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.119
It's time to go, It's time
to get out on your own.
204
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.240
Dad, he's got a podcast so
Steve and I started talking about because he
205
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.880
is newly retired, and it's not
that he's not busy, because the man
206
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:55.359
stays busy, uh, but the
interest in doing a show for police officers,
207
00:19:55.400 --> 00:20:00.599
buy police officers, and uh,
he's absolutely been running with it.

Plugging real quick, Aaron Slater,

260
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.400
plug all the wrong Steve. Okay, we have to go back to the
261
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.039
classroom and teach you one on one. Take me back, Well, I
262
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.279
do appreciate it. And you know, these guys, the guys that do
263
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.799
the professional I mean, it's tough, it's tough. But whenever they move
264
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.720
on and I see them successful after
their career in law enforcement, that's great
265
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.960
to them. You retired to do
T shirts. Yeah that's pretty awesome.
266
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.079
I'm done. I'm done catching bad
people. Yeah, but imagine, imagine
267
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:27.319
how many ideas for shirts he must
have I mean, every arrest is a
268
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:30.599
potential T shirt. I don't know
why you guys don't have shirts that said
269
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:38.640
what had happened was or just allegedly. I actually wanted the shirt off duty
270
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:45.839
on the bottle. I think that
describes it perfectly. So how long have
271
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:51.720
you been retired now, Steve?
Since January so a few months. And
272
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.359
how long were you with the to
retire I'm assuming it's a lifelong thing.
273
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:59.720
How long were you with the police
department. I was in law enforcement for
274
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.880
right around twenty two years. Good
God, I've been doing stand up to
275
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:10.480
sink I feel I feel your pain. Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure of
276
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.079
the two of you, Raj obviously
on only one of you have died doing
277
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:18.799
your job, and that would be
you, the stand up comedian. Yes,
278
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.480
I uh know. I was like
you you catch bad guys, I
279
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:29.279
told dick jokes. So now we
get to know the tables exactly. He
280
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.400
gets to gets to enjoy the dick
and poopy jokes as well as you heard
281
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:36.319
there in the promo. It's like
they didn't they didn't waste too much time
282
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:41.559
jumping right into the bathroom humor.
It's usually that's episode episode one. I
283
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.440
think we went to the bathroom.
Yes, yep, I just I would
284
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:56.119
blame that on Joanne Joe the potty
mouth. So in that first episode,
285
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:02.599
you've got Josh Jackson, a retired
police officer from a few different agencies.
286
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.000
He's got his start in Neil Campo. I don't want to give away too
287
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.079
much out of Steve's show the first
episode. But then you've also got Curtis,
288
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.359
who is a current police officer.
I forget, did you guys say
289
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.000
what department he is with on the
show? Yeah? Yeah, he had
290
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:25.279
no shame on that one. He's
a very proud Panther City police officer.
291
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:30.920
But Panther City of course, fort
Worth? What the what? You didn't
292
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.279
know that Panther City? You know
what, Raj, don't feel bad.
293
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.599
I didn't know fort Worth was known
as the Panther City until like five six
294
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:45.640
years ago. Panther Island and what
Panther Island at the whole like complex over
295
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:52.440
there? Yeah, what brewery everything? Okay? Sure, does anyone know
296
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.160
the stories so we can tell ra
or we're not just making this up.
297
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.000
We're not just this. This isn't
a host job, Raj. Fort Worth
298
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.039
is known as as the as the
Panther City, kind of like Dallas has
299
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.240
Pegasus. Oh okay, I'm in
Addison, so that's like more Cougartown.
300
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:17.880
So whatever your city is made up. That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
301
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:26.799
It's right next to Trophy Wife Club
first go okay, got no,
302
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.240
it really is. Does anyone actually
know the backstory because I I don't know
303
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:34.200
it very well, but I kind
of fort Worth Panthers City. Okay,
304
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.640
So I guess it was so hot
one summer in fort Worth they said they
305
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.640
was so hot they saw a panther
sleeping on the courthouse steps or something.
306
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:47.799
I may have that completely wrong,
but it's something along those lines. And
307
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:56.079
then fort Worth was known as Panther
City. Okay, wow, Panther City,
308
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.920
all right, yes, Panther Island. I would love to go to
309
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.680
Anthon Island. It's it's they're turning
it into like a high end like Deep
310
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:10.240
album and it really is a thing. They're about to build like a high
311
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:15.759
rise on it. And lord,
okay, at least at least fort Worth's
312
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:22.160
mascot animal is real. I mean, Dallas is Pegasus the horse with wings.
313
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:30.440
Yeah, uh okay, I didn't
know. Now we do anthro eve.
314
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:34.079
Did since you you did the bulk
of your law enforcement career with Farmers
315
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:41.720
Branch, did Farmer's Branch have a
animal mascot? First? Yeah, express
316
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.519
you know, thinking about it,
No, we never had anything. But
317
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.279
but going back to the history of
Farmer's Branch, it's called Farmer's Branch now,
318
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:55.720
but way back in the early nineteen
hundreds it was called Mustang Branch.
319
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.720
Why we switched a Farmer's Branch,
no idea, but I guess if we
320
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:00.799
would kept the old name, we
could have had a Mustang. That would
321
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.880
have been okay, yeah, that
would have major police patches way cooler.
322
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.400
Oh yeah, would it sound a
lot better? Where do you work Farmer's
323
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.440
Branch? Everyone thinks we're out and
you know, out in the fields working
324
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:14.920
the crops and stuff, and they
think your side arm is a scythe right
325
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:34.720
right, you're just off marsh.
You protect god damn junior college kids cigarette
326
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:41.960
butts on the squad cars. I
will say the the hardest part of working
327
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:47.319
in Farmers Branch was protecting that that
building what is the over the Reathery toll
328
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:51.680
Way. Yeah, yeah, the
iHeartRadio station. We were a huge pain
329
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:55.640
in your ass. Exactly. I
mean, I think you may have spent
330
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.599
more time at our station than you
did at yours. Oh high Absolutely,
331
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:08.319
Farmer's Branch is the only place I've
ever seen a hospital close. It really
332
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.359
was interesting though, when you think
about our time at the radio station at
333
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:18.440
iHeartRadio right there uf the toll way
in Spring Valley. The toll way the
334
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:23.880
east side ish of the building was
technically City of Dallas, but City of
335
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:27.720
Dallas on the rare occasion, really
didn't want anything to do with us.
336
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:32.640
So the building was kind of in
a no man's land and it just kind
337
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:37.640
of got stuck on Farmer's Branch.
The irony in that is this one of
338
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.440
the first times Farmers Farmer's Branch police
officers had to come do security for us
339
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:47.720
was because of a stalker. And
then they never left. So they started
340
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:52.759
out protecting us from stalker, and
then they became the stalkers themselves. And
341
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:59.720
now Steve has come full circle pulling
his baby Reindeer routine, and now he's
342
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.759
got a show on the Treehouse Podcast
Network. See see it all worked out
343
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:06.200

Brooks Plumbingtexas dot com. You had
a couple of days last week to get
354
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.680
away from work take a little trip. Where did you and Colby go?
355
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:10.880
We went to Memphis and we stayed
at the world's largest bass pro shops because
356
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.839
Colby is my little redneck prints and
nothing thrills him more than outside stuff,
357
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:23.559
fishing, hunting, guns, boats, whatever. But this place is obscene,
358
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.599
the largest in the world. Yeah, it's huge. It's got three
359
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.119
restaurants in it, it's got a
bowling alley, the boat. Let me
360
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:36.319
put it to you this way.
The boats are inside the building, in
361
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:40.400
their own channels of water. It's
massive. When you walk around a place
362
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:45.599
like that, does the plumber inside
you think, wow, thanks a lot
363
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.960
of plumbing here. No, but
I frequently find myself looking at pipes in
364
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.200
parking garages. The last time you
were in town and you were in Addison
365
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:57.920
somewhere, I parked in a parking
garage and when I was walking to the
366
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.079
car, I found myself looking up. I'll be visited me and we had
367
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.440
a whole discussion about plumbing before leaving. I have no life at all.
368
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:09.400
I just eat, breathe, sleep
plumbing all the time. Put all that
369
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:15.440
knowledge and dedication to work for you
in your home or even your small business.

Uh raj, You're taken off to Tahoe
378
00:34:52.000 --> 00:35:00.119
this weekend. I'm off to Tahoe
on a private plane. I'm Caesar's is
379
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:07.840
sending it, so I'm the invitation
goes out to all of you. I
380
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.840
get these trips every I've never taken
them up on it because I didn't think
381
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.960
it was real, because it's like
we're flying out of long View. I'm
382
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:17.719
like, okay, sure you are. So I decided, you know,
383
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.800
a buddy of mine I grew up
with, he's one of my best friends.
384
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.320
I was like, let's see if
this is real. And it turns
385
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:28.039
out it is, so it makes
sense you need to take a buddy on
386
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.480
a trip like that, so that
way they don't just get one kidney.
387
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.519
But you know, yeah, I
mean I can, I can. I
388
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.679
can take Tray and the next one
I can take you Din when you're in
389
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.880
town. I'm it's up to four
people, so the misses can come as
390
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.320
well. So very nice. Yeah, we've never we've still never been to
391
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:49.519
Vegas. So we haven't been to
Tahoe either. We've we've been to Durant,
392
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:55.079
and yes, that's what Tahoe is
known as the Durant of the West.
393
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:04.639
We've we've gone to Durant, Vegas. We've gone to what's the other
394
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.840
one, so that's Choctaw. The
other one Windstar. We've been to Windstar
395
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:15.320
and many years ago. I also
did Shreveport, which is basically I mean,
396
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:25.360
it's yes, floating Vegas because water, it's Durant on meth and extra
397
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:31.559
long cigarettes. Steve Rutherford from Offbeat
The Light Side of Law Enforcement new from
398
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:37.280
the Treehouse podcast Network. Are you
a gambling man? I cannot confirm or

a matter of fact, you mentioned Durant.
400
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:46.960
I might be headed there here in
a couple of weeks on purpose.
401
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.280
Well, you know, I'm running

410
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:38.679
high cholesterol or heart that's flatulence in
the car. WHOA Trey does? Uh?
411
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:45.000
Does that ring a bell to you? Yeah? Are you are you
412
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:52.679
familiar with uh with that noise?
I am not? Whoa Steve? Are
413
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:57.480
you familiar with the woo woo?
I am not. Well, I'm about
414
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:04.159
to educate you. Okay. Many
years ago, in a radio study in
415
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:12.599
a radio studio far far away,
we came across this little bit on YouTube
416
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:19.599
when it was in its infancy of
a news report of some interesting muffler whistles
417
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:28.639
going on in Oakland, California,
where all things classy are born. Yes,
418
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.519
so here I will now share with
you the whistles go woo. From
419
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:40.719
kro N four dot com. The
latest rage for kids is driving parents and
420
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:46.519
entire neighborhoods crazy. It's called a
whistle tip, and it's welded inside a
421
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:52.840
car's muffler to make the car screechingly. Loud for nearly a mile. Well
422
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:57.039
tomorrow night, Oakland residents will be
complaining officially to city hall officials. Crown
423
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.519
Force. Mark Jones has the story
live in Oakland. To see nay Mark
424
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.519
a Pama. City residents have been
told this noise is perfectly legal, so
425
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:10.079
tomorrow they hope to start the process
to change the law. Nearly every muffler
426
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.800
shop in Oakland is installing whistler tips. It's a piece of metal welded inside
427
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:22.039
the exhaust pipes that makes the car
audible for almost a mile. Tell me
428
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:32.559
about the Wizzards, the whistles got
Wood? Why Why that's the only person
429
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:46.039
you can find the interview. Why
I'll back this up here just a little
430
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:53.840
bit. Tell me about the Wizzars, the whistles got woo. Anybody that
431
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:59.119
has it in their neighborhood, it's
going to be totally driven crazy. Well
432
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:01.960
you want to it's that whoa whoo. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
433
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:07.960
Then you got the flows the Floe
Mas decorations decoration that's in. That's
434
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:14.639
all man, we do it for
decorations. Yr. It was being installed
435
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:20.000
on their car. Roxanne Bruns is
the high pitched tone like the squeal of
436
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:23.039
a bark train that doesn't stop is
keeping her awake at night. Police have
437
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:27.760
told her it is legal. They
think it's a sad it's gonna go away.
438
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:32.280
It's not going away, and it's
driving you nuts. It's driving me
439
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:37.480
nuts. I work at home.
Uh, I can't concentrate when it goes
440
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:42.440
on for for you know hours.
Some neighbors are saying way too loud.
441
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.760
That's only in the moment he pulls
me up cooking breakfast of somebody. And
442
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:53.559
so that's like a alarm clock.
Bob Rub and Little Cis we're proud to
443
00:40:53.599 --> 00:41:00.559
show it off. That needs to
be everyone's ring tone for their alarm clock.
444
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:04.719
And I need I think we need
to make that happen. I don't
445
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:08.199
I don't I don't have I don't
have the words. That's okay, Big
446
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:15.840
Ron does, Bob Roub and Little
Sis We're proud to show it off,
447
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:20.199
all right. It's bub Rub.
His name is bub yeah, and little
448
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:25.400
Rub and and little Sis. H
see if it actually says it on the
449
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:30.800
chiron here, it just actually call
him bub Rub. Tell me about the
450
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:36.440
whistles. The whistles got woo.
Anybody that has it in their neighborhood's going
451
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:43.000
to be totally driven crazy. It
does, right there, bub rub whistle
452
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:52.639
fan, Oh with two bees?
I'm sorry, yeah, bub rub Yeah,
453
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:58.440
that's bub with two bees. By
the way, somebody asked him and
454
00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:01.519
how did we spell this? Well? Actually Bub is three bees and Rub
455
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:07.480
is two bees, so a total
of five bees. That's a lot of
456
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:10.320
bees. Now, now I need
to see if it actually gives on the
457
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:14.079
on the on the screen, on
the graphic, if it says little cis
458
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.599
when she comes in to say it's
just for decoration, Hang on here,
459
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:21.360
it's that whoa, whoa, you
know what I'm saying. Then you got
460
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:27.519
the flow decoration man, just for
decoration. That's that's all man. We
461
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:31.960
do it for decoration. Yeah,
yep, No, they don't put a
462
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:37.599
little cis on? Is it little
with an apostrophe? I'm guessing. I
463
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:45.840
mean this was before the Me Too
movement. Hey, Steve, I'm going
464
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:59.960
to give you a very important lesson
here. No, when to get out,

00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:07.239

2
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:37.640
I'm Dan O'Malley along with Trade Trendholm
and Raj Sharma on a very special
3
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.320
day, not just in the treehouse, but in the O'Malley house. Because
4
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:51.039
not only have we had electricity now
for twelve hours plus straight, the only
5
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:59.840
thing that could put us on a
higher cloud is the joy that my wife
6
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:07.359
is currently experiencing. I don't know
how it is in your relationship, Raj
7
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:15.760
or Tray, in your previous relationships, but there seems to be no greater
8
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:25.680
feeling in a home than when the
misses is proved right. Oh yeah,
9
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.439
not that the proof was necessary,
but the proof is good and it is
10
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:40.840
just, and it is empowering because
with every time one is declared correct or
11
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.280
right, it emboldens you. Right. So, now imagine you are right
12
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.239
hundreds of times over. You're gonna
have quite a bit of confidence in your
13
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.680
intuition, your suspicions, all these
things. Right. Now, imagine you
14
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:05.079
are right one hundred plus time's over
on just one instance, and you will
15
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.439
maybe start to understand a sliver of
a fraction of a morsel of a nugget
16
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.560
of the joy my wife is currently
experiencing for being right. What were you
17
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:27.159
wrong about? Wait you wait,
I don't like your assumption, sir.
18
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.719
I'll stand by it, though.
This is one time you should olay that
19
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:43.199
that assumption because this, in this
instance, I am not wrong. Yeah,
20
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.199
I mean you said it with confidence, So I am not wrong in
21
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.360
this instance. I am on her
side the whole way through. Okay,
22
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:55.319
gotcha. So you're you're you're writing
her right, yes, like a magic
23
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:02.680
carpet ride. Oh so that's an
Indian Wow. Okay, I gotta take
24
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:09.360
him where I can. It's yeah. Anyways, so you guys remember all
25
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:15.439
the troubles we've had with bats,
Right, that's among us bats in our
26
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.319
bedroom. And by bats, I
mean two that we saw fly around the
27
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.479
bedroom on two separate instances. Right, two separate incidents of bats flying around
28
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.280
the bedroom. Now, wait,
so you had the old place where you
29
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.319
had bats, and then you had
the hitchhiker stowaway bat that came to your
30
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.319
new place. Yes, okay,
yes, as further proof of the infestation
31
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:51.759
of bats in our previous home.
Right, So that makes three instances of
32
00:03:52.520 --> 00:04:00.439
bat interactions, right, which led
my wife to contact the bat ex spurt
33
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.840
at the University of the Virgin Islands. They have a department I guess for
34
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:12.199
flying rodents, and they they have
a professor I swear. This is like
35
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.120
this is like a like a like
a horror movie first act where something happens,
36
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.319
you get your inciting incident, and
to help explain it, you got
37
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.079
to go to the local university to
find the expert that just happens to be
38
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.720
the expert of that thing in that
small town. And that's and that's what
39
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.399
my wife did. She contacted the
bat expert at the University of the Virgin
40
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:45.199
Islands and this morning my wife and
batwoman drove to the house we used to
41
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:51.120
live in to investigate the bat infestation. So she's always scared of them at
42
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:59.240
night, my wife, Yes,
No, I think she'd be you know,
43
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.040
afraid of them during the day when
they're flying around her head at a
44
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.680
million miles per hour. Isn't that
what they would be doing if you drove
45
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.360
to them. Well, you have
to drive if you're going to investigate the
46
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.199
bats. You can't do it from
you know, four miles away. You
47
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.279
have to actually go where the bats
are. Rah. Yeah, yeah,
48
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:25.040
So Tara and the bat expert that
I've dubbed Batwoman drive to the house that
49
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:31.879
we used to live, where the
bats still reside, and they proceed with
50
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:43.879
an investigation into the bats. And
I know my wife was right because I
51
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.680
heard the bats, not as loudly
as she did over the months that we
52
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.800
lived there, but I also heard
them. They were loud, and you
53
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.839
could tell that there was more than
one. And then you had the three
54
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:59.839
different instances of bats flying around our
bedroom. And so we needed the expert.
55
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.519
Need the expert to come out because
sometimes these creatures might be protected and
56
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:10.240
you don't want to do anything that
might get you in trouble. So Tara
57
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.759
and the bat expert go to where
we used to live for the bat investigation
58
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.480
with the landlord. Okay, and
not only does the bat experts say,
59
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:25.600
yeah, you got bats, but
she says, you don't just have a
60
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.759
few bats. You don't have a
handful of bats. You don't have several
61
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.959
bats, which is you know,
when the treehouse is at seven, you
62
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:41.160
have hundreds of bats. It turns
out for six months my wife and I
63
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:46.439
were living in a bat cave.
You are badman. I'm not, at
64
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:54.560
least not knowingly. I mean,
one could say, you were living in
65
00:06:54.600 --> 00:07:02.040
a bat cave for years. Yeah, but that was a figurative bat cave.
66
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:09.120
Now my life has transitioned from figurative
into literal living in a bat cave
67
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:15.720
wow, here on the island.
So it was very interesting to uh to
68
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.800
hear the report back as as Tara
and the university bat expert say that,
69
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:26.800
yeah, you weren't just living with
like one family. I made this specific
70
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:34.319
note the I was told that they
suspect the species of bat that's been tormenting
71
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:48.240
us is the really terrifyingly named velvety
free tailed bat. Sounds vicious, thank
72
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:58.959
you. Trey was adorably lovable.
Taken Yeah, maybe silky smooth. They
73
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.279
went with velvety Yeah, velvety free
tailed bat. Yeah, it doesn't sound
74
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.680
like a menacing bat. It sounds
like if Berry White was a bat y
75
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:15.759
so velvety vicious, something that might
make this seem more. That's a great
76
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.800
pimp name, by the way,
velvety vishal what's that, baby, I'm
77
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.199
velvety visious. That's what I'm going
on. As for Halloween this year,
78
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:37.279
oh so, uh, the terrifyingly
named velvety free tailed bat is believed to
79
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.200
be the species that was tormenting us
during our sleep. And again, this
80
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.919
wasn't just a couple of the bats
that we saw, and not just one
81
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.639
family, but the bat expert believes
that this is a colony of hundreds of
82
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.919
bats, likely all to be females
with their babies. In other words,
83
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.840
not only were we living in a
bat cave, but it was a batman
84
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.519
tternity ward as she called it.
Wow, so what is she going to
85
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.159
do with it? Like, how
do you? Is she going to remove
86
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.200
them? And then the next see
the next step for the bat expert is
87
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.519
she's now going to pull a Jane
Goodall and she's going to go live with
88
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:20.279
them for a bit. Oh,
so she just needs some place to stay.
89
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.279
Yeah, it turns out bad experts
don't make a ton of money.
90
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:31.120
She just needs a place to crash. Yeah. Were they all residing in
91
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:37.159
the attic? Yes, so our
suspicion. In addition to there being a
92
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.159
lot of bats therefore terra being right, there was also our suspicion that they
93
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:50.440
were residing in between the corrugated roof
and the actual wood ceiling, you know
94
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.600
rafters, right, So they gap
between those two, the gap between the
95
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.759
ceiling and the roof and that is
in fact where they were, because they
96
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.519
even got a pinhole type camera.
The landlord did this and snaked it up
97
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:11.480
in between in that gap and found
what did she say, generations of batpoop
98
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:20.080
of guana, generations of guano wow
in the ceiling. Yeah, generations.
99
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.080
That's insane. Okay, So she's
gonna stay with them for a second.
100
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.799
Yeah. So the next thing she's
going to do is she's going to go
101
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:35.200
back and she is going to observe
them in their natural habitat of the house
102
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:41.039
we used to live in. And
uh, and so she's gonna, you
103
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.120
know, observe them coming and going. Everything that Tara told her checked all
104
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.279
the boxes for you. Yeah,
these are bats because they would come and
105
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.960
go at a certain time, they'd
make noises. And the expert was saying,
106
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.200
yeah, this is you know this, everything you're saying makes sense to
107
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.679
when the mama bats would come and
go and then come home and feed the
108
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.879
baby. Yeah, and they would
ship everywhere. Yeah. Luckily none of
109
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.200
it seeped through the ceiling, so
we didn't see it, although it was
110
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.159
really interesting. Tara was saying,
as the bat expert uh climbed up the
111
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:22.720
house steps she's not also a spider
woman. Tara said she could smell the
112
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.759
bat expert could smell of the bats. Yes, what's gonna do? What
113
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:37.840
is she accomplished by living with them? Nothing? Rent free? It's hard
114
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.559
to find long term rentals here.
Frankly, they're quite expensive. So I'm
115
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:52.960
surprised this lady is not Indian David
them indefinitely and generations of shit that we
116
00:11:52.120 --> 00:12:00.200
have generations of. So uh so, again, Tara wasn't just right about
117
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.879
a handful of bats. She was
in fact right, yeah, hundreds of
118
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:11.440
times over on one thing. And
now she's basically going to be the next
119
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:18.639
villain in the Avengers franchise. That's
how powerful she's now become on being right
120
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.120
so many times in in her life, but especially with this one exponential moment.
121
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:30.120
She's Kane's rash right. This is
gonna be the next Netflix special Curry
122
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:37.320
and Guano, and you'll be right
there to watch it with Daisy Dray.
123
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.879
She's gonna lean over one night,
And like, I was born in darkness,
124
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:56.960
and I hope, I hope that
that expert actually does go around telling
125
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:03.639
people that she was born in darkness. And this is the University of the
126
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.519
Virgin Islands. Is that what you
said? Yeah, real school, it's
127
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.600
not. But okay, it's a
real it's a real building. How about
128
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:26.080
that boy and hey, it's at
least as real as Walden University. It's
129
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.759
right next to Debrye. That's good. I don't think I ever had a
130
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:39.039
bat program. Neither does the University
of the Virgin Islands. That just sounds
131
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:45.200
like it comes with the Margarita machine. It's on the it's on the opposite
132
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.960
end of the island from Margaritaville.
So no, it's actually yeah, okay,
133
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.480
so it's a it's a private island. It's nice. It's an all
134
00:13:52.519 --> 00:14:05.000
inclusive it's an all inclusive university.
Seven nights in a degree. Don't forget
135
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.919
about the shows every night. It's
a place where mixology is actually a degree
136
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:20.840
in shots at the swim up bar
mixology from the University of the Vision Islands.
137
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.440
Seriously, where was that school when
it came time to look up universities
138
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.720
when we were all into high school. It's like that would have been the
139
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:33.600
same place it is now. Not
real. It's at the table next to
140
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:43.279
Hogwarts. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online at treehouse on air

df W is the website to reach cookdf
142
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.559
W roofing and restoration specific Daniel Cook
and carry Cook and you can get a
143
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.399
free roof inspection. And speaking of
that free roof inspection, I know if
144
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.600
someone wants to sell their house,
the roof can be a bit of an
145
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.679
issue when it comes to selling that
property. So probably a good idea to
146
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.039
have you come out and look at
it before the house gets listed, right
147
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.360
Daniel, Dan, that's a perfect
situation right there. The market is very
148
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:26.600
tough. We already know that the
houses are you know, they have to
149
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.799
shine. And if you are going
to think about selling your home, we
150
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.960
offer service that not many, not
many companies do. We come out,
151
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.000
we inspect not just your roof,
but we we look at your house as
152
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.559
a whole and we say these are
some things that might come up when a
153
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.840
buyer comes along and their inspector comes
out and looks at your house. Because
154
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.799
when an inspector comes out on the
buyer side, they're going to come out
155
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.000
and they're going to nitpick that home
from one side to the other. And
156
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.879
you have only two or three days
to make a decision. How much money
157
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.279
you're going to give the buyer to
get those things repared. Are are some
158
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.600
type of money back to them?
And so would you not rather be on
159
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.200
the side of already knowing what your
house looks like before you go into option
160
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.679
period. And that's the thing we
do. We come out and look at
161
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.879
the roof, the gutters, the
garage door, the siding, the windows,
162
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.000
the fence. We'd give you an
analysis of your home and so that
163
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.759
way you know before you even put
your house on the market what it looks
164
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.639
like. So yeah, perfect opportunity
to let us come out and do that
165
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.919
for you. Be smart. Contact

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.960
big day, not just inside the
Treehouse but for us as the Treehouse Podcast
180
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:47.319
Network, because that's how I started
the business. That's what it is.
181
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:52.160
I started it as Treehouse Podcast Network, not just singular, but a whole
182
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.400
network because I've got a vision.
I want us to be big at more
183
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.119
than one show, and in order
to be a network, you have to
184
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:03.759
have more than one show. We
now have more than one show. Trey
185
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:10.400
Raj, I know you have met
Farmers Branch police officer Steve Rutherford a few
186
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:15.480
times over the years, and we
hung out with him and his wife and
187
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:21.279
other police friends at the most recent
Treehouse road show at Shaker Times in Addison
188
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:26.720
for Christmas and not long after that, Steve and I started discussing the possibility
189
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:34.160
of doing a show, and I
think in order to truly release this show
190
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:41.359
into the wild, let's bring Steve
now. Steve Rutherford from Offbeat The Light
191
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:47.599
Side of Law Enforcement, a part
of the Treehouse podcast Network. Yes,
192
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.480
hey, how you guys doing.
See that's that's how you get a nice
193
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:57.880
treehouse lackluster welcome. I just like
the fact he has nicer you know,
194
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.200
facilities in all of us. Yeah, Steve doesn't mess around, he's I
195
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.240
don't see Steve, were you military
at all? Nope? Your gung ho.
196
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.200
That's why I ask because you are
a hard charger. As soon as
197
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.839
as soon as Steve and I started
talking about, you know, doing a
198
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.720
show, doing a podcast, he
started buying stuff before I could even tell
199
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.279
him what to get. I think
there was that that's that studio that he's
200
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.960
in right now is I believe a
bedroom that he kicked one of the kids
201
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.519
out of just so they could put
the podcast studio in there. But you
202
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.599
know they have to learn somehow,
right, Yeah, it's a real world.
203
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.119
It's time to go, It's time
to get out on your own.
204
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.240
Dad, he's got a podcast so
Steve and I started talking about because he
205
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.880
is newly retired, and it's not
that he's not busy, because the man
206
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:55.359
stays busy, uh, but the
interest in doing a show for police officers,
207
00:19:55.400 --> 00:20:00.599
buy police officers, and uh,
he's absolutely been running with it.

why you guys don't have shirts that said
269
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:38.640
what had happened was or just allegedly. I actually wanted the shirt off duty
270
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:45.839
on the bottle. I think that
describes it perfectly. So how long have
271
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:51.720
you been retired now, Steve?
Since January so a few months. And
272
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.359
how long were you with the to
retire I'm assuming it's a lifelong thing.
273
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:59.720
How long were you with the police
department. I was in law enforcement for
274
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.880
right around twenty two years. Good
God, I've been doing stand up to
275
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:10.480
sink I feel I feel your pain. Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure of
276
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.079
the two of you, Raj obviously
on only one of you have died doing
277
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:18.799
your job, and that would be
you, the stand up comedian. Yes,
278
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.480
I uh know. I was like
you you catch bad guys, I
279
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:29.279
told dick jokes. So now we
get to know the tables exactly. He
280
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.400
gets to gets to enjoy the dick
and poopy jokes as well as you heard
281
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:36.319
there in the promo. It's like
they didn't they didn't waste too much time
282
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:41.559
jumping right into the bathroom humor.
It's usually that's episode episode one. I
283
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.440
think we went to the bathroom.
Yes, yep, I just I would
284
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:56.119
blame that on Joanne Joe the potty
mouth. So in that first episode,
285
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:02.599
you've got Josh Jackson, a retired
police officer from a few different agencies.
286
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.000
He's got his start in Neil Campo. I don't want to give away too
287
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.079
much out of Steve's show the first
episode. But then you've also got Curtis,
288
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.359
who is a current police officer.
I forget, did you guys say
289
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.000
what department he is with on the
show? Yeah? Yeah, he had
290
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:25.279
no shame on that one. He's
a very proud Panther City police officer.
291
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:30.920
But Panther City of course, fort
Worth? What the what? You didn't
292
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.279
know that Panther City? You know
what, Raj, don't feel bad.
293
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.599
I didn't know fort Worth was known
as the Panther City until like five six
294
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:45.640
years ago. Panther Island and what
Panther Island at the whole like complex over
295
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:52.440
there? Yeah, what brewery everything? Okay? Sure, does anyone know
296
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.160
the stories so we can tell ra
or we're not just making this up.
297
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.000
We're not just this. This isn't
a host job, Raj. Fort Worth
298
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.039
is known as as the as the
Panther City, kind of like Dallas has
299
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.240
Pegasus. Oh okay, I'm in
Addison, so that's like more Cougartown.
300
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:17.880
So whatever your city is made up. That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
301
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:26.799
It's right next to Trophy Wife Club
first go okay, got no,
302
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.240
it really is. Does anyone actually
know the backstory because I I don't know
303
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:34.200
it very well, but I kind
of fort Worth Panthers City. Okay,
304
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.640
So I guess it was so hot
one summer in fort Worth they said they
305
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.640
was so hot they saw a panther
sleeping on the courthouse steps or something.
306
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:47.799
I may have that completely wrong,
but it's something along those lines. And
307
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:56.079
then fort Worth was known as Panther
City. Okay, wow, Panther City,
308
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.920
all right, yes, Panther Island. I would love to go to
309
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.680
Anthon Island. It's it's they're turning
it into like a high end like Deep
310
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:10.240
album and it really is a thing. They're about to build like a high
311
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:15.759
rise on it. And lord,
okay, at least at least fort Worth's
312
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:22.160
mascot animal is real. I mean, Dallas is Pegasus the horse with wings.
313
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:30.440
Yeah, uh okay, I didn't
know. Now we do anthro eve.
314
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:34.079
Did since you you did the bulk
of your law enforcement career with Farmers
315
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:41.720
Branch, did Farmer's Branch have a
animal mascot? First? Yeah, express
316
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.519
you know, thinking about it,
No, we never had anything. But
317
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.279
but going back to the history of
Farmer's Branch, it's called Farmer's Branch now,
318
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:55.720
but way back in the early nineteen
hundreds it was called Mustang Branch.
319
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.720
Why we switched a Farmer's Branch,
no idea, but I guess if we
320
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:00.799
would kept the old name, we
could have had a Mustang. That would
321
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.880
have been okay, yeah, that
would have major police patches way cooler.
322
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.400
Oh yeah, would it sound a
lot better? Where do you work Farmer's
323
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.440
Branch? Everyone thinks we're out and
you know, out in the fields working
324
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:14.920
the crops and stuff, and they
think your side arm is a scythe right
325
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:34.720
right, you're just off marsh.
You protect god damn junior college kids cigarette
326
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:41.960
butts on the squad cars. I
will say the the hardest part of working
327
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:47.319
in Farmers Branch was protecting that that
building what is the over the Reathery toll
328
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:51.680
Way. Yeah, yeah, the
iHeartRadio station. We were a huge pain
329
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:55.640
in your ass. Exactly. I
mean, I think you may have spent
330
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.599
more time at our station than you
did at yours. Oh high Absolutely,
331
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:08.319
Farmer's Branch is the only place I've
ever seen a hospital close. It really
332
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.359
was interesting though, when you think
about our time at the radio station at
333
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:18.440
iHeartRadio right there uf the toll way
in Spring Valley. The toll way the
334
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:23.880
east side ish of the building was
technically City of Dallas, but City of
335
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:27.720
Dallas on the rare occasion, really
didn't want anything to do with us.
336
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:32.640
So the building was kind of in
a no man's land and it just kind
337
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:37.640
of got stuck on Farmer's Branch.
The irony in that is this one of
338
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.440
the first times Farmers Farmer's Branch police
officers had to come do security for us
339
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:47.720
was because of a stalker. And
then they never left. So they started
340
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:52.759
out protecting us from stalker, and
then they became the stalkers themselves. And
341
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:59.720
now Steve has come full circle pulling
his baby Reindeer routine, and now he's
342
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.759
got a show on the Treehouse Podcast
Network. See see it all worked out
343
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:06.200
right? Hang around long enough,

353
00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.720
Brooks Plumbingtexas dot com. You had
a couple of days last week to get
354
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.680
away from work take a little trip. Where did you and Colby go?
355
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:10.880
We went to Memphis and we stayed
at the world's largest bass pro shops because
356
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.839
Colby is my little redneck prints and
nothing thrills him more than outside stuff,
357
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:23.559
fishing, hunting, guns, boats, whatever. But this place is obscene,
358
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.599
the largest in the world. Yeah, it's huge. It's got three
359
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.119
restaurants in it, it's got a
bowling alley, the boat. Let me
360
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:36.319
put it to you this way.
The boats are inside the building, in
361
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:40.400
their own channels of water. It's
massive. When you walk around a place
362
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:45.599
like that, does the plumber inside
you think, wow, thanks a lot
363
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.960
of plumbing here. No, but
I frequently find myself looking at pipes in
364
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.200
parking garages. The last time you
were in town and you were in Addison
365
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:57.920
somewhere, I parked in a parking
garage and when I was walking to the
366
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.079
car, I found myself looking up. I'll be visited me and we had
367
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.440
a whole discussion about plumbing before leaving. I have no life at all.
368
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:09.400
I just eat, breathe, sleep
plumbing all the time. Put all that
369
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:15.440
knowledge and dedication to work for you
in your home or even your small business.

Uh raj, You're taken off to Tahoe
378
00:34:52.000 --> 00:35:00.119
this weekend. I'm off to Tahoe
on a private plane. I'm Caesar's is
379
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:07.840
sending it, so I'm the invitation
goes out to all of you. I
380
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.840
get these trips every I've never taken
them up on it because I didn't think
381
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.960
it was real, because it's like
we're flying out of long View. I'm
382
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:17.719
like, okay, sure you are. So I decided, you know,
383
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.800
a buddy of mine I grew up
with, he's one of my best friends.
384
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.320
I was like, let's see if
this is real. And it turns
385
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:28.039
out it is, so it makes
sense you need to take a buddy on
386
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.480
a trip like that, so that
way they don't just get one kidney.
387
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.519
But you know, yeah, I
mean I can, I can. I
388
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.679
can take Tray and the next one
I can take you Din when you're in
389
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.880
town. I'm it's up to four
people, so the misses can come as
390
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.320
well. So very nice. Yeah, we've never we've still never been to
391
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:49.519
Vegas. So we haven't been to
Tahoe either. We've we've been to Durant,
392
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:55.079
and yes, that's what Tahoe is
known as the Durant of the West.
393
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:04.639
We've we've gone to Durant, Vegas. We've gone to what's the other
394
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.840
one, so that's Choctaw. The
other one Windstar. We've been to Windstar
395
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:15.320
and many years ago. I also
did Shreveport, which is basically I mean,
396
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:25.360
it's yes, floating Vegas because water, it's Durant on meth and extra
397
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:31.559
long cigarettes. Steve Rutherford from Offbeat
The Light Side of Law Enforcement new from
398
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:37.280
the Treehouse podcast Network. Are you
a gambling man? I cannot confirm or
399
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.519
deny. Yes. Yes. As
a matter of fact, you mentioned Durant.
400
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:46.960
I might be headed there here in
a couple of weeks on purpose.
401
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.280
Well, you know, I'm running
out of places to put my money.

If figured i'd just slam it a
machine, I'm going to take out you

00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:08.199
gonna slam in a machine real quick. I wasn't sure if you guys noticed
405
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:14.079
this. Let me pull this back
up in the Offbeat The Light Side of
406
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:19.119
Law enforcement promo that I put together. We'll see if did you catch this,
407
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:22.519
uh, the little in between sections, you know, the transitions between
408
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.920
bits there? Did you catch one
of them? Trey, the the woo
409
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:30.480

silent killer for police. And that's not

00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:38.679
high cholesterol or heart that's flatulence in
the car. WHOA Trey does? Uh?

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:52.679
familiar with uh with that noise?
I am not? Whoa Steve? Are

00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:57.480
you familiar with the woo woo?
I am not. Well, I'm about
414
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:04.159
to educate you. Okay. Many
years ago, in a radio study in
415
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:12.599
a radio studio far far away,
we came across this little bit on YouTube
416
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:19.599
when it was in its infancy of
a news report of some interesting muffler whistles
417
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:28.639
going on in Oakland, California,
where all things classy are born. Yes,
418
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.519
so here I will now share with
you the whistles go woo. From
419
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:40.719
kro N four dot com. The
latest rage for kids is driving parents and
420
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:46.519
entire neighborhoods crazy. It's called a
whistle tip, and it's welded inside a
421
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:52.840
car's muffler to make the car screechingly. Loud for nearly a mile. Well
422
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:57.039
tomorrow night, Oakland residents will be
complaining officially to city hall officials. Crown
423
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.519
Force. Mark Jones has the story
live in Oakland. To see nay Mark
424
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.519
a Pama. City residents have been
told this noise is perfectly legal, so
425
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:10.079
tomorrow they hope to start the process
to change the law. Nearly every muffler
426
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.800
shop in Oakland is installing whistler tips. It's a piece of metal welded inside
427
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:22.039
the exhaust pipes that makes the car
audible for almost a mile. Tell me
428
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:32.559

you can find the interview. Why
I'll back this up here just a little
430
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:53.840
bit. Tell me about the Wizzars, the whistles got woo. Anybody that
431
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:59.119
has it in their neighborhood, it's
going to be totally driven crazy. Well
432
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:01.960
you want to it's that whoa whoo. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

435
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:20.000
on their car. Roxanne Bruns is
the high pitched tone like the squeal of
436
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:23.039
a bark train that doesn't stop is
keeping her awake at night. Police have
437
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:27.760
told her it is legal. They
think it's a sad it's gonna go away.
438
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:32.280
It's not going away, and it's
driving you nuts. It's driving me
439
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:37.480
nuts. I work at home.
Uh, I can't concentrate when it goes
440
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:42.440
on for for you know hours.
Some neighbors are saying way too loud.
441
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.760
That's only in the moment he pulls
me up cooking breakfast of somebody. And
442
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:53.559
so that's like a alarm clock.
Bob Rub and Little Cis we're proud to
443
00:40:53.599 --> 00:41:00.559

be everyone's ring tone for their alarm clock.

yep, No, they don't put a
462
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:37.599
