Welcome to the new and improved Treehouse Podcast.  We start off today with Dan and Trey having a competition on who can be less manly with their Starbuck's order: Trey's Cinnamon Dolce Latte or Dan's PSL addiction.  Then, we have a lengthy discussion about the joy's of dental work and Dan's small but pretty mouth, and then we talk more about the 20 things that GenX grew up with that would destroy GenZ.

1
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.239
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh

2
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.920
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley along

3
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:37.759
with Trey Trendholme and Raj Sharma. Happy to have you

4
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.560
with us today. That's a smooth fade there, Tray.

5
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.359
I don't know why. I have no idea why. I

6
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:48.719
just hit it off.

7
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.960
You've just you've just had it with William Orbit. You're like,

8
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.280
that's it. I've reached my limit. It's been over twenty

9
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:03.840
years and I'm done. It's more like fire and no mercy.

10
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.959
And that's what happens when you take a week off.

11
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.760
It really does. You have to remember. You have to

12
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.560
remember how to do things. You have to remember how

13
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.400
to do your job. It's hard. Luckily, the digital side

14
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.319
of things that we operate in now was a lot

15
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.519
more forgiving because most people on this side have no

16
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.920
idea what they're doing. And when you come from the

17
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.519
side that has to be buttoned up and tight and

18
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.359
doing certain things, if you get away from it for

19
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.159
a little while, you're like you walk into the room,

20
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:39.319
You're like, what is this place? I don't I don't understand.

21
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.640
God, I just don't learn. I just don't learn new things.

22
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:45.840
You know what, there's something to be said about sticking

23
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.640
your head in the sand. Well, thank you for joining

24
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.159
us inside the treehouse. The rest of the show will

25
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.400
go less abruptly but still quite hilarious. So hilarious, in fact,

26
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.200
we're going to make fun of Trey, but then make

27
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.920
fun of the rest of the planet. Okay, Trey, We're

28
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.799
going to start out making fun of you, ever so briefly,

29
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:12.039
because of your courage to admit to us inside the treehouse.

30
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.599
How much of a girl you are when it comes

31
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:15.879
to your Starbucks orders?

32
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.120
I've gotten less girly, but yeah, okay, okay.

33
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:21.759
What is your what is your current go to when

34
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.400
you go to Starbucks?

35
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.120
Vanilla sweet cream? Cold brew?

36
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.360
Okay? What was it prior to.

37
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.960
This cinnamon dulce latte?

38
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:33.120
Wow?

39
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.840
Who shamed you? Who shamed you into this darker, richer

40
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.599
cold brew coming off of the dulce thing?

41
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.039
This really doesn't help my argument less calories?

42
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.680
Does your husband get one as well?

43
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.759
That's more along the lines I was thinking, Yeah, he

44
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.120
just gets a straight coffee.

45
00:02:58.120 --> 00:02:59.080
He's far more of a man.

46
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.919
Well, at least now we know who the top and bottom.

47
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.759
Is, even Daisy. That gives me a you know questionable

48
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.599
eye when my coffee.

49
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.599
Order, there's never been a doubt that tray's a power bottom.

50
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:24.879
Come on, Trey likes to drive up. See I told

51
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:26.039
you it's gonna get hilarious.

52
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.840
Yeah, that is a that is an that's an that's

53
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:30.919
an order, buddy.

54
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:32.960
Oh, it is an order.

55
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:34.159
Yeah.

56
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.360
Like like like when Trey walks into Starbucks and they say, hello, sir,

57
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.400
may I take your order? Tray says you get damn right,

58
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.879
or you will. Trey turns into the drill sergeant from

59
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:46.879
Full Metal Jacket.

60
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:52.599
Now even but even my cole brew order, you know

61
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.599
it's actually it's a vanilla sweet cream cle brew with

62
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.560
one pump of simple syrup and four packets of Stevia.

63
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.319
Oh no, there's more than want pump in their tray.

64
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:02.759
With a with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

65
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.120
And when you order it, do they look over your

66
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.840
shoulder to see if there's a soccer mom behind you.

67
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.040
I do it through the app so I can put

68
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.319
put on a disguise and running there and get my

69
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.720
order disguise.

70
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.160
So even you're ashamed.

71
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.720
Yeah, if your order at Starbucks involves pumps and sprinkles,

72
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.079
you're due on the main stage.

73
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:36.800
You are cinnamon.

74
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.720
We haven't even gotten to the main story yet, we're already,

75
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.279
you know, getting some good stuff. All right. So the

76
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.720
reason why I asked Tray, and I'm so glad that

77
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.600
I did, about your current Starbucks order, is you're not

78
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.279
a You're not a PSL person, right, You're not a

79
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.160
pumpkin spice latte lady.

80
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.560
No, I don't have uggs.

81
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.079
Yeah well yeah, yeah, yeah, wait, wait till the temperature drives.

82
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.759
A PSL girly so sad.

83
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.040
I can't fight him on this. I am a bit

84
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.680
of a basic bitch. I like a good pumpkin spice Lotte, Wow,

85
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:26.120
but not this much. Are you into pumpkin spice?

86
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:26.480
No?

87
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:31.079
I mean really, do you really love pumpkin spice? Like

88
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.079
searching for pumpkin spice underwear level of love? Because some

89
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.279
people are. According to Google, Google says searches for pumpkin

90
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.920
spice just hit an all time high, which is saying

91
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.800
something considering the PSL's been around for over twenty years now.

92
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.839
Google says PSL searches always peak in September, but now

93
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.560
people are searching for pumpkin spice stuff more than ever.

94
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:04.639
Some examples pumpkin spice underwear and my personal favorite, pumpkin

95
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.639
spice toilet paper. For the record, I don't know if

96
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.519
either of those things exist, but Google is saying people

97
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.879
are searching for it, and I'm willing to believe that

98
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:19.839
those items do in fact exist. But of all the tawdry,

99
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.160
horrific things I have typed into Google over the years,

100
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.319
I do not want to enter in. Is there such

101
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.439
a thing as pumpkin spice toilet paper?

102
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:31.480
Uh?

103
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:31.560
What?

104
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:34.279
Why would.

105
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.839
Why would anyone want scented toilet paper?

106
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:46.839
Well? I can think of a couple of reasons, two

107
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.720
of which cannot be listed on your Starbucks order trade.

108
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.600
I mean, I did I did hear? I did hear

109
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.399
Chris Evans call it a cinnamon ring in the Deadpool

110
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.040
and Wolverine movie.

111
00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.720
It seems like that'd be like a moist tallet.

112
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:13.399
Though that response made him quit the show.

113
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.000
I don't know if he lost his Internet connection he

114
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:25.480
just finally had a point of shame.

115
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.600
But I just found that there is pumpkin spice toilet

116
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:39.639
paper available on Amazon. It is eleven seventy five. Yeah,

117
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:45.879
And or you can do a pumpkin spice Kleenex, you know,

118
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.519
for the for the cleanup that you know that reminds

119
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.079
you of fault. So that was it.

120
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:55.199
You just dropped out in shame.

121
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.759
Dan, Actually it wasn't even me. It was it was

122
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.879
my prent amp. I guess it didn't I didn't like

123
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.279
something so it decided to power flash on me.

124
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.439
Yes, I was just telling Troy. I found on Amazon

125
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:15.360
there's pumpkin spice toilet paper. It is eleven dollars and

126
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:22.439
seventy five cents per roll. And there's also pumpkin spice Kleenex.

127
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.439
See that makes sense. I'm gonna be smelling that for sure.

128
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:34.200
Okay, nice other things to do with Kleenex, you know,

129
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.240
when you want to clean up but it's still fall.

130
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.840
Look, some people really take you know, cents quite far,

131
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.240
and in this case, into some interesting territories.

132
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.960
Yeah, this is a we need to start doing this.

133
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.960
We need to start selling pumpkin spice toilet paper for

134
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.799
eleven seventy five or roll. I don't know how you

135
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:02.720
get sent into spoilt paper, but.

136
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.799
I don't either, and I'm guessing, like I'm look, I

137
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.759
think there's a lab in either Korea or Japan that

138
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.399
tests these types of things. Like there's even a museum

139
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:23.120
where you can go and smell different animals butts, Like

140
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.200
you don't actually smell the butt, it's supposedly like they

141
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.039
replicate the scent of say a rhinoceros ass, and they

142
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.120
put it in a little smelling thing that you can

143
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:39.679
stick your face in at this museum. Okay, I mean

144
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.080
I don't see any need for that, but but.

145
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.159
People people go to it apparently.

146
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.519
Yeah, I've seen video of people doing it.

147
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.559
Wow, Dan, I found something you will be quite interested in.

148
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:55.720
Mm hmmm.

149
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:56.600
Pumpkin spice.

150
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:08.360
Pumpkin spice lube, slick and tasty.

151
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.279
I believe that'd be a good episode title.

152
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.039

your team do an outstanding job walking people through insurance issues.

158
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.039
And there's a new insurance issue that North Texans are

159
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.200
starting to be dealt.

160
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.720
What is it where you're getting several phone calls lately

161
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.200
that insurance carriers and typically not just one or two,

162
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.559
but several different brands have been calling up clients, are

163
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.399
sending them a letter stating that your policy effectively is

164
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.600
going to be nullified after it renews or it does

165
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.279
not renew. So clients are getting these letters out of

166
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.200
the blue saying I've had the same carrier for seven

167
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:14.960
years and now they're not going to renew my policy.

168
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.639
And they find out it's because the roof is too old.

169
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.080
They've been very fortunate they haven't had to have their

170
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.240
roof replaced, and so the roofs are nine, ten, eleven

171
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.759
years old, and so now roofing companies like, well, your

172
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.399
roof's too old for us to ensure it.

173
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:28.480
Go find someone else.

174
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.919
But what they're finding is that the open market in

175
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.559
Texas and especially the Metroplex DFW in general, it's tough.

176
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:34.919
Right now.

177
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.919
No insurance company wants to ensure older roofs, and so

178
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:42.840
these people are getting stuck with paying absolutely insane premiums

179
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.519
because the companies that do write them are going to

180
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.320
write them at a premium cost. Are they're finding that

181
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.480
it's not that easy to get coverage. So insurance is

182
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.840
not the old way it used to be done. It's

183
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.399
very finicky. It's picky. So if you need us to

184
00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.679
come out. We'd love to make an assessment. Sometimes we're

185
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.000
finding the insurance companies will take a written, you know,

186
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.559
report from a roofing company that states that the roof

187
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.559
is in good shape and they will at least renew

188
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.399
it for one more year. But that doesn't always happen.

189
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.440
Sometimes it's just the fact that your roof has a

190
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.240
number on it, and once that number has exceeded and

191
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.000
sure has won't to be insured any longer.

192
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.440

on the Treehouse Plus episode, which you can subscribe to

210
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.480
at Patreon dot com slash Treehouse. On air, we were

211
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.960
talking about the twenty things that we all experienced as

212
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:42.240
jen X growing up that would absolutely destroy kids of today.

213
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:44.759
And we're going to go through a few more of those.

214
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.919
But first, when I jumped on today, Trey, did I

215
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.840
hear you say you were at the dentist recently?

216
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.720
Yes? I had a root canal and temporary crown last

217
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.519
week and then the temporary crown was not sitting right,

218
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:03.440
so I was back there this morning, Uh getting it

219
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:08.840
yikes the bite lord, because I've been basically had a

220
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.919
toothache for three days.

221
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.120
Like I guess you and I are a dental twins,

222
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.720
because I too went to the dentist this morning, and

223
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:17.759
since mine took a little bit longer, hit to push

224
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.120
back recording time because they got in there and they said.

225
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.559
Holy.

226
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.639
What do you do? What do you what are you eating?

227
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.360
Uh? I have periodontal disease. So at this point it

228
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.799
doesn't even matter what it doesn't even matter what I eat.

229
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:34.600
So that's that's my thing.

230
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.720
Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. There's a genetic thing.

231
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.759
It is predominantly a genetic thing, which is really fun

232
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.000
for someone like me who's adopted and doesn't know Jack

233
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.240
Squat about his biological family. So when the dentist or

234
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.200
the periodontist says, do you know if anyone in your family,

235
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.200
I don't know anyone in my family. Don't ask me

236
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.919
about family history. It's too it's it's just as tender

237
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:57.000
as my gums.

238
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.919
Somewhere in Oklahoma is just a village of toothless people.

239
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:08.720
Well that's not just somewhere. Although since I am in

240
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.080
Cape Cod right now, when they asked me, they're like, so,

241
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.039
do you have family that It's like, I'm adopted, so

242
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.720
I don't really know. But since they're all from Oklahoma,

243
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:21.600
we can make assumptions. So I don't even know at

244
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.960
this point if one's worse than the other, because I've

245
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.879
while I've only ever had one cavity. That was back

246
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:28.480
when I was like five or six, when I first

247
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:32.440
went to the dentist, and I've never had a root

248
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.080
canal or anything. But since I got the periodontal stuff,

249
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.159
if you don't do certain things with it, then eventually

250
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:40.519
you're just gonna lose all your teeth. It's just a

251
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.159
matter of when. But all the horror stories I've heard

252
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.279
about root canals and things, I'm not sure if there's

253
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:49.399
one over the other, I would take Trey.

254
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:54.080
The truth of the matter is root canals. I mean,

255
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.440
it's not a fun way to spend a couple hours,

256
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:01.759
but it's it's not awful.

257
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.159
Yeah, there's a reason why there's no strippers named Periu.

258
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:11.279
Yeah. I mean, especially with modern you know, it's not anesthesia,

259
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.480
but numbing medicine and everything, the pain blockers. It's it's

260
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.919
very awkward to feel someone have a metal file up

261
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.879
in your the bone.

262
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:27.440
And uh no, sorry, I've had I've had two different

263
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:29.679
oral surgeries where they had to take teeth out because

264
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.480
jokes aside. I actually have a diagnosed small mouth. So

265
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.600
when I had orthodonics put in, they had to pull

266
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.080
four permanent teeth to make room to move teeth around.

267
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.639
So those four teeth plus wisdom teeth that had to

268
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.080
be taken out. I'm already down eighth.

269
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.320
I'm I'm like I had actually my orthodontos pulled too many,

270
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.919
because I think I had. I think I had four

271
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.120
permanent and three baby teeth pulled when I when I

272
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.480
was starting to get braces, and then and then all

273
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.240
four of my wisdom teeth because they had to be

274
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.599
sectioned out. Yeah, you and I've got a tooth. Technically

275
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:10.880
in the roof of my mouth.

276
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.039
Your dentist sounds like Doc Brown and Back to the

277
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:16.759
Future three just throwing stuff around in the shop.

278
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.920
But we're more twins than anything else, Dan, because I

279
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:25.039
have genetic peridonal disease yay, So I have to go

280
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.240
in and get the deep cleanings and all that stuff.

281
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:31.400
And yeah, I had to have my wisdom teeth. Weren't

282
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:35.119
even affecting like how my teeth were placed. They just

283
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.759
were like, you still have them if you didn't know that.

284
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.519
So they pulled those out, and then I broke one,

285
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.640
like there was a cavity in one up here, so

286
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.920
they took that one out, and then this one back here.

287
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.640
They had to I broke it or it just broke, So.

288
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.680
It's not all age related. So the periodontis that I

289
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.880
went to today. She was very nice. She did give

290
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.559
me a very backhand, did a young millennial compliment. She

291
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.079
was like, yeah, you have an advanced periodontal disease, honestly,

292
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.480
and she's looking at me. She's like, you're not that old, right.

293
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:11.960
She's like, she looks up and she sees on my

294
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:14.279
chart forty five. She's like, you're forty five. You don't

295
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.480
even look forty five. So, on one hand, I appreciate it.

296
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.640
On the other hand, she also thinks forty five is

297
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.200
really freaking old, and so she wanted to point that out.

298
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.680
Her exact words were, you don't look that old. I'm like,

299
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.440
oh that stings woman.

300
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:33.880
When she's when she's dictating her notes later, she's like,

301
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.000
forty five year old male advanced periodonal disease didn't look

302
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:39.079
like a meth head at.

303
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:43.640
All, not at all, not one bit, as the tip

304
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:47.559
of her pen clings against the hoop of her septum ring.

305
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.880
So thank you for thinking I don't look my age,

306
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:03.079
but also thanks for slamming forty five year olds you

307
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:08.680
don't look that old. Well God damn it, Denise. Anyway,

308
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:14.440
yay dentists, stuff got to hate the dentist. I really, really,

309
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:16.359
really hate the dentist, and that's part of the reason

310
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.000
why I have some of the problems I do today.

311
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:20.559
And all you want to know my origin story at

312
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.960
the dentist really quick. My very first trip to the

313
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:28.200
dentist at age five, when I got the hook, you know,

314
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.759
the hook I got that hooked in the roof of

315
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.759
my mouth. I didn't, actually the dental hygienist did. So

316
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.640
that was my first introduction to oral health, was getting

317
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.759
hooked in the roof of a mouth like a bass.

318
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:43.759
Wow.

319
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.279
I have the problems I do because when I was

320
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.640
in my early twenties, I went to a dentist and

321
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.200
he did not believe me when I told him I

322
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.400
had a really high threshold. It takes a lot to

323
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.680
deaden my mouth, like when they did this, like it

324
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:04.599
took five shots of stuff too dead to where they

325
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.160
could work on it. And he didn't, and he went

326
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.440
drilling into my tooth and I came out of that

327
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.200
chair reaching for him. Yeah you did, and uh. And

328
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:15.759
then I didn't go back to the dentist for years

329
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.519
and years and years and uh. And actually I've always

330
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.039
I've always taken good care of even especially when I dipped.

331
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.200
I was always very conscious of it, so I'd always brush,

332
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.400
floss everything, but ill ground my teeth and that's what

333
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.319
caused a lot of my problems.

334
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:35.599
So yeah, I'll tell the dentist straight up. If you

335
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.079
hurt me, I will hurt you back. So let's we're

336
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.319
going into this relationship on equal footing.

337
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.960
M I actually I go to the dentist now that

338
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.160
I went by. I went to text A and emmdental

339
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.279
school because you can get really cheap dental work done there.

340
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.200
And uh, the guy that was I was his patient,

341
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:55.400
he was the student. I have now followed him since

342
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.839
he has graduated because I liked him so much.

343
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:00.599
Man, it's amazing. How like, if you've had bad dental

344
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.480
experiences and you find a good situation, we will hold

345
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.519
on to you and love you and cuddle you until

346
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:07.960
we die.

347
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.440
Oh.

348
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:14.240
I I followed him, yo, Doctor sweps with McKinney. Drove

349
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.160
it to McKinney, went to Mesquite, drove to Mosquite. Now

350
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:17.319
luckily he's back in Dallas.

351
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.680
Oh you drove Mesquite. He must be good. Well.

352
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.160
Well, the doctor also knew where to go for the

353
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:31.039
good business because he's like I could stay in McKinney

354
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:34.839
and retire at sixty five like most normal dentists. Or

355
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.799
I can go to Mesquite and retire and have three

356
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:39.039
beach houses by forty.

357
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.039
Yeah, but I mean I thought I thought most Dennis

358
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:46.160
liked to work on people that have teeth as opposed.

359
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.759
To joke's on you. You can still charge the same for

360
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:55.000
a cleaning, even if the teeth are phantoms.

361
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.319
Dennis, for the most part, cash business. Eh, And I

362
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.799
doubt the dental insurance and Mesquite is a booming business.

363
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.759
Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure Delta Dental

364
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:09.160
pulled out of their decades.

365
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.920
Ago like a meth head's teeth.

366
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:24.960
Oh god, it do'll just fall out? Or maybe they're

367
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.480
just burned out. I'm not really sure how that works.

368
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.799
Yeah, it's just it's it's called mouth rot, is the

369
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.359
I believe the technical term for it they just brought away.

370
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:39.799
Oh for for the meth teeth, not with our perio

371
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.440
periodontal disease. That's correct, because because if that's what they

372
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.319
call it in the break room, I'm glad they've kept

373
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:47.279
that term away from me.

374
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:48.000
Yeah.

375
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:51.079
You see that guy this morning, the forty five year old.

376
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:52.960
It looked good for his age with all the mouth rot.

377
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.519
But you know what that is, I don't care how

378
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:02.559
like how a girl is she has bad teeth, can't

379
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:02.880
do it.

380
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:08.839
Yeah, that's that's the funny thing with periodontal disease is

381
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.720
that like Raj and I don't necessarily have bad teeth.

382
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.160
I mean, I've got a couple of stragglers that you know,

383
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:16.920
the uh that wearing my retainers might have helped, but

384
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.880
I just got tired of after a while. Otherwise, it's

385
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.319
not like if I smile, I don't look like Jaws

386
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.440
or anything like. I don't look like I've been chewing

387
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:31.079
on hot glass, meth pipes or anything. It's just all

388
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.160
the hidden stuff up in there. That's that's the grossness.

389
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.839
Yeah, oh Dan, I've never looked at your mouth and

390
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.319
was like I want to be in there.

391
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:41.480
But the important thing is Tore, is that you've never

392
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:56.119
looked at it and thought you didn't is.

404
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:47.640
that would destroy kids today that we all experienced growing

405
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.119
up on the Treehouse plus episode that came out yesterday.

406
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.240
We covered the first I believe eight of them, So

407
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.640
now we're going to go through the next few, starting

408
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:05.960
with No. Number nine. This would destroy kids today, but

409
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:09.839
we lived through it. Being trapped in a car with

410
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:14.160
both parents smoking cigarettes right here.

411
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:16.839
Yeah I did not. Yep, I did not have that.

412
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.839
Well, you had smart, responsible parents, yes.

413
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:28.839
Yes, smoking and drinking, Yeah, because what goes better with

414
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:30.839
a pall mall than a good seven and seven?

415
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:35.920
At least that's what my grandfather would tell you. There

416
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.920
was one of the There was a when I after

417
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.240
my parents had split up. So I was in town

418
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.599
to visit my dad, my sister, and my grandfather, and

419
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:47.839
my grandfather was taking me to the airport to fly

420
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.799
back to Dallas. Right, so he has to drive the

421
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:54.839
forty miles from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to Tulsa, Oklahoma to the

422
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:57.799
quote unquote International Airport to put me on a puddle

423
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:01.400
jumper back to love Field in Dallas. Well, I guess

424
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:04.480
my flight was leaving later late, late enough in the

425
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.160
day that he could enjoy his seven and seven happy

426
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:12.759
hour before driving me to the airport. Well, he got

427
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:16.599
a little too carried away, so about halfway between Bartlesville

428
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:19.920
and Tulsa on Highway seventy five, he had to pull

429
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.160
over to the shoulder and take a take a take

430
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:22.960
a whiskey nap.

431
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:28.079
I loved this man.

432
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:32.680
Surprisingly, he lived at the age of eighty three, was

433
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.000
on kidney dialysis for many, many years. But man, he

434
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:35.440
kicked it.

435
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:39.480
Yeah, that is a that is I didn't have. I

436
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.559
didn't have to experience any of those things. So number

437
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.400
nine is not something I e.

438
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:49.480
My dad especially could somehow manage to have a cigarette

439
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:51.720
a drink and still reach back there and hit me.

440
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.759
Oh yeah, I mean it was it's that third hand

441
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.640
that you don't know that they got. But yeah, being

442
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.640
trapped the car with both parents smoking cigarettes, a's absolutely

443
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:05.839
something kids today would not be able to handle. And

444
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:09.319
if it was cold, out. That means the windows might

445
00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:13.559
not even come down a crack, So you're just well

446
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:15.559
all that secondhand and joy I mean.

447
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.720
Don't forget the cars back then had the little that

448
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.000
little front vent on the windows where you know that

449
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.400
was supposed to be the smoking window. Didn't really work

450
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:24.839
that well.

451
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.039
But yeah, yeah, my family wasn't fancy enough to have

452
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:28.640
that add on.

453
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:35.400
But yeah, I mean I remember the ash trays in

454
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.200
the car and the car lighter like that was all

455
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.440
utilized by I mean, you had friends that parents smokes.

456
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:43.599
Maybe I was in a car once or twice with

457
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:44.400
people that smoked.

458
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:46.559
Yeah, but you didn't live with it the way we did.

459
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:52.440
Yeah, And amazingly, you know, seat belts were literally belts.

460
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:54.480
They went across your waist. There was there was no

461
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:57.119
chest strap, there was.

462
00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:59.559
No high falutin chest strap. That's ridiculous.

463
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.240
I remember I was my like from talking about the

464
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.000
seatbelt when my dad would go on like long road

465
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.559
trips for work, like I was his like I was

466
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:10.799
his buddy, I was his co pilot. So I would

467
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.559
just stand next to him and put my arm on

468
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.440
it while he was driving. And the seatbolt was if

469
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.559
he if there was a sudden stop. He just put

470
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.759
his arm yeah out and that was that was the

471
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:24.920
original seat That was the original seat belt.

472
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.200
Yeah, catching a parental arm bar was the seventies and

473
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:34.079
eighties seat belt. Yes, and here's the thing. They didn't

474
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:36.839
keep it on you lovingly throughout the entire drive. No,

475
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:38.960
that thing only came out. Wouldn't need it.

476
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.839
Oh yeah.

477
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:42.480
So that meant in essence, you were just being clotheslined

478
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:46.119
by your parent. But it kept you out of the

479
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:50.799
front windshield. I mean, sure, you look like you look

480
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:53.160
like a Steven Segal victim and out for justice, but

481
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:58.359
you're not through the windshield. So yeah. Number nine, kids

482
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:00.400
today would not be able to handle being trapped in

483
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.079
a car with both parents smoking cigarettes, unless, of course,

484
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:04.720
the kid was in the back vaping. Then the whole

485
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:09.519
family could just do it together. Number ten. Nothing was

486
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:14.079
on demand. Nothing. If you wanted to watch something on TV,

487
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.960
you had to make sure it was on at that time,

488
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:20.759
and if it was five minutes into the show, there

489
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.160
was no backing up. There was no Not only was

490
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:25.519
there no on demand, there was no DVR when we

491
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:27.880
were kids, so you couldn't even reverse anything or pre

492
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:31.359
record anything if you wanted to watch something you had

493
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:33.359
to want to watch it. You had to be there

494
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:35.400
when it aired in real time.

495
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:38.359
Or later on. You had to be a fucking engineer

496
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:41.640
to know how to program a VCR.

497
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:46.720
That's also true gen X. Gen X all qualifies for

498
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:47.920
a minor in engineering.

499
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.200
Yeah, I mean my dad did. My dad like read

500
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.519
the manual like he was that guy, so like he

501
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:58.759
could do the VCR to where like it recorded four

502
00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:01.440
hours or whatever it was. Yeah, we could set it

503
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:04.279
to record from so if we missed an episode of Dallas,

504
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:08.359
oh we did not, We got to see that later

505
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:08.920
on that night.

506
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:12.440
I'm going to use that as a segue into one

507
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:17.519
of the later things on this list. Number nineteen, stressing

508
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:20.400
over whether you'd get fined two hundred and fifty thousand

509
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:24.319
dollars by the FBI for copying a VHS tape, which

510
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:29.759
my dad did absolutely one thousand percent. Not just recording

511
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.319
something that's airing on TV on the VCR, but no,

512
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:36.680
he would grab the VCR out of his bedroom, yep,

513
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.000
bring it into the living room, daisy chain it to

514
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:44.960
the VCR attached to the floor model television, so we

515
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.359
could watch a movie on one and record it at

516
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.880
the same time on the other. We had our own

517
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:52.720
many Blockbuster in our house.

518
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:54.079
Oh yeah, oh so did we.

519
00:30:54.599 --> 00:31:00.480
I mean, if they were to find us, like per

520
00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:05.680
event of recording a VHS tape, my family would be

521
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:07.160
billions in debt.

522
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:11.920
So my dad and your dad would be sharing to sell. Yes,

523
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.880
the same thing. It was the exact same thing, like

524
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:17.599
every every Bollywood movie that came out, because you hadn't

525
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.640
know where that because they popped the little tab on

526
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.720
the side off and you had all you had to

527
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:23.480
do was cover that up with a little tape tape.

528
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:28.400
Yeah, it really was. And that was standard operating procedure.

529
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.799
I mean we're talking in one weekend, we'd go through

530
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:33.480
three to five movies. So on Friday night we'd hit

531
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:38.160
the video store on the way home, and by Sunday

532
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.359
afternoon we may have gone through five movies. So that

533
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:43.720
right there is one point two five million dollars in

534
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:47.599
fines and that's just one weekend, okay. And so what

535
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:51.480
he would do is, in order to speed up the process,

536
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.839
we would just record every single movie that we watched,

537
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:58.680
and then if the consensus of the family was no

538
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:00.599
one really liked it or no one would to keep it,

539
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:03.240
you would just tape over that recording with something else,

540
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:05.200
so that way you don't have to watch it twice

541
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:06.440
to get it recorded.

542
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:11.160
So you didn't get to have your own personal copy

543
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:12.880
of American Ninja four.

544
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:17.799
Unfortunately, that movie came out after my parents split up,

545
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:20.160
and my mom got one VCR and my dad got

546
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:29.440
the other, so it didn't quite work out too But

547
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.240
by the time American Ninja four it came around, then

548
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:35.640
I was banking on the free weekends on HBO and

549
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:39.039
Cinemax kind of a thing, and that was how I

550
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:41.480
think I first saw those movies was Late Night on

551
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:44.759
HBO on a free on a free HBO weekend, which

552
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:48.039
I think they only did. I don't think they did

553
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:51.759
those free weekends once a month, maybe every other month,

554
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:52.720
kind of a thing.

555
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.920
Like once a quarter. I think, yeah, I feel like.

556
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:58.480
It was more than once a quarter. But either way, man,

557
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.160
I would I would out down and I would have

558
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:03.680
This is back when my parents had split. So now

559
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:06.000
my mom and I are living in Dallas with my grandmother,

560
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.920
and so as soon as we heard that HBO was

561
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:13.680
doing a free weekend, we'd go to Walmart and buy

562
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:16.319
a stack of blank VHS tapes so we could then

563
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.880
record everything Wow.

564
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:26.559
Yeah, yeah, that's uh, that's interesting that they split you

565
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:32.160
and your sister and the VCRs equally. I'll take Dan

566
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:33.799
in the living room VCR.

567
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:40.440
Damn it, I really wanted the living group v c R.

568
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:41.799
That's the good one.

569
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.799
You fired attorney, didn't he? Absolutely?

570
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:58.119
That is so sad. Oh but it's true, all right, Um,

571
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.200
that was okay, I'm pertend it was nothing on demand

572
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:05.000
number eleven. Parents listening in on landlines was a regular thing.

573
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.440
Sneaky parents or siblings could pick up another phone in

574
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:11.559
the house and monitor your conversation. Honestly, they could have

575
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.039
just put having a normal phone conversation on here would

576
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.159
destroy kids of today.

577
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:18.880
Yeah, we had the phone in the kitchen that was

578
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.960
in the wall, up against the wall, and then this,

579
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:25.239
this miracle happened. They had a longer cord that you

580
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:28.719
could buy. Oh yeah, and that changed my mother's life,

581
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.639
like she could still cook and talk to her friend

582
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:35.199
from the opposite side of the kitchen. Like it was incredible.

583
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:37.760
But we got this was really cool. We had our

584
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:42.760
own line upstairs, so there was no listening into the

585
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.000
conversations that were being had there.

586
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.920
You go, that's a big deal. And even in growing

587
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:51.599
up in DFW. Do you guys remember the metro lines

588
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:57.079
metro lines you see, You may not because you didn't

589
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.840
move around like I did. So when I first moved

590
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:01.920
to Texas, I started in Dallas and from Dallas went

591
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:04.800
to Richardson, Richardson to Plano, Plano to Arlington. That was

592
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.559
all my schooling, right, So when I moved from Plano

593
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:09.840
to Arlington, I wanted to keep up with friends in Plano.

594
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:13.840
Well that's two different counties. Terrant County eight one seven Plano.

595
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.280
I didn't even Plano didn't even have the nine seven

596
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.119
two number yet. It was still like a two to

597
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:22.199
one four situation. But in order to call any friends

598
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:26.320
back there, it was a long distance unless you paid

599
00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:30.239
for an upgraded metro line, which then you could then

600
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:33.679
you could call uh County to county in North Texas

601
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:37.199
without it being considered long distance. My god, we're old.

602
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:39.840
Yeah. Did you remember when you had to wait till

603
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:41.639
after five because the raids went down?

604
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.440
Yep? Yeah, And we always.

605
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.119
Nine seven, We were always nine seventy two.

606
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:51.039
I believe, no nine the two weren't even invented until

607
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:57.639
ninety nine. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was a bit

608
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.000
because I I mean, I because you have to remember,

609
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.800
initially nine to seven to two was solely north of

610
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:09.000
six thirty five. Yeah, and two one four was south.

611
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:13.920
And that was because like, unlike New York City did

612
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:16.960
it right, where when cell phones invented, they created a

613
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:20.400
whole nother area code just for cell phones, Dallas did not,

614
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:22.719
and they were simply running out of two to one four,

615
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.760
so they had to create another area code. So I mean,

616
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:29.760
and that was a big deal. Like, yeah, yeah, that

617
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:31.960
was back. I mean when when that came out, you

618
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:35.559
could where you lived. You know, oh you're nine seven

619
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:39.559
to two, Okay, I don't go to Oklahoma exactly.

620
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:43.719
Yeah, people judged you, and judged you harshly based on

621
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:47.880
your area code prefix. And keep in mind, we all

622
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:51.599
started out not even needing area phone or area code prefixes.

623
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:53.760
We started out with a god old fashioned seven digit thing.

624
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:57.480
And my grandparents I think even had the the old

625
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:01.320
school party line at one point where it was just

626
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:03.239
one phone line for like six houses.

627
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:07.519
Leonard was so small you only had now four digits.

628
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:12.960
Yeah, that's good and tiny. I feel like we're just

629
00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.239
sitting around a campfire and going my day.

630
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:18.880
Yeahmember remember calling cards?

631
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:19.960
Yeah, I'm sure do.

632
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:20.920
Yeah.

633
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:24.280
Still I still occasionally see uh, like places in the

634
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.800
islands or say, like calling cards here, I'm like, what

635
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:28.440
the who are you trafficking?

636
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:32.800
Well, they got to make sure the drugs get to

637
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:33.679
the island somehow.

638
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:35.920
Yeah, No, I'm serious. At this point, if you're still

639
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.840
using calling cards, you are involved in illegal activity.

640
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:44.320
Yeah. That was the original burn phone, That's what that was.

641
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:47.239
But like when calling cards first came out, those were

642
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:49.920
cool because then you could like you have uh, you know,

643
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.239
prepaid stuff, and that was way cheaper than paying the

644
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.679
long distance. So yeah, calling cards were cool for a while.

645
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:57.840
Yeah, and you know, you're talking about ninety seven to

646
00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:59.760
two and two and four. People would judge, like, you know,

647
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:01.320
how bad it is a mosqui when people be like

648
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:06.320
nine seven two and I'm like, oh no Garland, h yeah, not.

649
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.159
Mosquite, No, No, this is yeah, this is not the

650
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:12.880
posh nine seven two. The downside though, is how that's

651
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:15.519
how harshly people would judge people with a four six

652
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:17.840
nine or then one day when the nine oh three

653
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:20.119
came in. When nine o three came in, four six

654
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:22.920
niners thought they were golden Wow.

655
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:25.920
But nine O three's in East Texas, right.

656
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:32.000
Exactly north and east. Oh exactly, yeah, nine three, I

657
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:33.320
think it was before four six nine?

658
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:34.519
Was it really?

659
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:40.320
Well? Thank god we don't have any gen al food

660
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.000
listeners because they won't understand anything about this show.

661
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.599
We might as well have been speaking of Russian like

662
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:51.639
backwards numbers and stuff. Oh no, oh, no, you made

663
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:53.519
old man Trey get up from his desk and walk

664
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:56.360
away to go get something. I I made him if

665
00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:58.679
he pulls a gen Z kid out of his closet

666
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:04.920
like they's been keeping cactive, which would not shock me.

667
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:10.920
I'd be surprised, but not shocked. Oh oh, I can't

668
00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:15.719
wait to see this. This, this is, this is Cooper.

669
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:26.320
Noah, would you do something I found the other day?

670
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:28.639
Let him go, Trey, let him go home?

671
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:32.920
No oh wow, I just got chills.

672
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:33.719
Wow.

673
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:37.800
The unit card, Oh, the unit card to get you

674
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:44.480
into private clubs. Wow, that's amazing. Where did you use it?

675
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:45.239
Where did you get it?

676
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:50.400
I I don't even remember. I mean god, I mean

677
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.800
that was back when when like Colin County was dry,

678
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:55.119
but they could serve wither if they were a private club.

679
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:59.320
And yeah, uh, I think I think when I went

680
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:03.360
to so Jerry called well, he had a birthday party

681
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:06.440
a handful of years ago at his local establishment, like

682
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.960
his regular spot, and it's in like this area of

683
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:13.719
Richardson Slash Dallas where I think where he goes. It

684
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:16.199
actually is still considered a private club and they would

685
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:18.079
put you on the unit card type list. You didn't

686
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:19.760
get the card anymore, but they actually they go, we

687
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:21.239
got to make you a member of the club. I'm like,

688
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:22.280
that still exists.

689
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:25.960
Yeah, I think Wizards still, but it's digital now. You

690
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:27.679
don't have the card. They just make you sign it.

691
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:31.480
They used to even up until a couple of years ago,

692
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:33.360
so I don't know if they've changed it now. But

693
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:35.280
you walk in and they just make they'd scan your

694
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:36.239
ID and then make you sign.

695
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:37.920
I think part of that is because they can still

696
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:39.639
smoke in there, and that's how they get around.

697
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:41.920
I believe that's exactly what it is.

698
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:44.599
But I mean, you can smoke anywhere in Addison. I mean,

699
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:45.159
like they don't know.

700
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:48.800
Well, I thought they Addison changed that. No, Addison is

701
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:52.039
still the last bastion of you.

702
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:54.679
They're supposed to be. If you serve food, you can't

703
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:57.639
smoke into until after four mm hmm.

704
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:03.079
Nope, until that to the stadium. Cafe because their idea

705
00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:04.480
of food is cigarettes.

706
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:08.519
I'll have the Paull Maull Sliders.

707
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:16.440
That's right. Can I have the Kobe cools please? I'm

708
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:18.360
just kidding. They don't have Kobe on the menu at

709
00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:23.519
Stadium Cafe.

710
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:27.280
Ah.

711
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:32.440
