00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.960
This is the Treehouse Podcast. I'm
Dan, O'Malley, Trey Trenholme is here

2
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:41.000
as well, and Alfie Coy,
who apparently has decided to run a foul

3
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.320
of the law a little bit.
Stop phrasing him like that. There was

4
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:50.240
no run a foul. There's just
an odd encounter. Put it the odd

5
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.960
encounter with the law. Yeah,
well, allow me to just sit back

6
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.280
and enjoy the tale. Y'all ever
been in a situation with a police officer

7
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.400
where you want to put them at
ease? Yet you know that if you

8
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.239
try to put them at ease,
it's just going to make things worse,

9
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.319
and potentially like way worse. I
will say yes, and with a with

10
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:23.400
a slight twist, because we throughout
our careers have known and still do know

11
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:33.439
and consider friends many police officers.
And it's different when and when I'm hanging

12
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.040
out or talking to one of my
friends who's a cop, because I don't

13
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.079
want to put them at ease.
I love putting them through their ringer because

14
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.519
that's what I you know, just
because it's the rare opportunity to do that

15
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.040
to an officer. So if one's
your friend and I feel obligated to really

16
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.519
give them a good old fashioned hard
time. However, if I'm talking to

17
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.159
a police officer that I don't know, and especially if it's in some sort

18
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.319
of official capacity, yeah I am. I am a cupcake exactly. I

19
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.200
think that there's a lot of things
that police officers have to deal with,

20
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:10.560
and I think that there's all sorts
of things that they encounter and are kind

21
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.599
of given over the course of their
careers that really can make them on edge

22
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.000
under the wrong circumstances. Hell even
paranoid and under the wrong circumstances. And

23
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.159
I don't want to add to that
during any encounter with the police. Is

24
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.680
that why when you see a cop
you don't know, you start out by

25
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.439
saying, what up? Player?
Yes, hey, yo, going on?

26
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.759
Okay, so see you walking up
to my car with your finance.

27
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:46.960
Yeah, they don't like that.
Last Saturday, I was out hanging out

28
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.439
with one of my friends and we
were we went to like a taco shop,

29
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:57.360
right, and we're hanging out in
this parking lot outside this restaurant and

30
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.479
it's probably like, I don't know, two thirty in the more something like

31
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:07.000
that, and we're just chit chatting, you know, shooting the s and

32
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.319
so you're in a parking lot at
two thirty in the morning. Yeah,

33
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.039
yeah, but it's well lit.
It's not like it's you know, an

34
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.439
empty well. I guess it is
empty, but it's it's a well lit

35
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.000
parking lot. And it's not you
you think it. You think there's nothing

36
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.800
wrong with it because there's lighting.
Yes, exactly, there's a lot of

37
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.599
light. Good to go, And
uh, all of a sudden a DPD

38
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.439
squad car rolls by. And it's
not all of a sudden, that's that's

39
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.280
trust me, that's on their normal
patrol. Yeah, it's commonplace. And

40
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.400
the DPD squad car pulls in the
parking lot. I think, okay,

41
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.280
they must be going to you know, a water burger or something down the

42
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.479
street on the other side of the
parking lot. It's something I don't know,

43
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.199
right, And real quick, just
for clarification, you're you're talking about

44
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.479
Dallas Police DPD. Yes, Dallas
Police. I figured that's what it was.

45
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.400
But I didn't want someone you know, at Duncan God saying hey,

46
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.919
that wouldn't me or didn't. Uh. So this DPD squad car pulls in

47
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.840
the parking lot and all of a
sudden, they like stop and kind of

48
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.520
make a you turn towards me and
my friend, you don't say, and

49
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.439
the squad car pulls up, and
I'm immediately thinking, where are my hands?

50
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:20.079
Where are my hands? Where am
I? I'm not the weed,

51
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:28.160
You're the weed one dan zip it
up. So I got a taco for

52
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:36.040
you. This police officer happens to
be female. She rolls up, rolls

53
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.240
down her You say, it happens
to be almost even like, yeah,

54
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:46.839
no, I gotta taco. She
rolls up, rolls down her window and

55
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.199
goes, hey, uh, y'all
be careful, don't get assaulted. I'm

56
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:58.319
like, what, wow, okay, do me a favor. Back up

57
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.279
about ten seconds and then it that
again. She rolls up, rolls out

58
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.600
her window and goes, hey,
y'all be careful, don't get assaulted.

59
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.600
And we're thinking, what does that? What does that even mean? Is

60
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.519
that a warning or is it a
threat? Exactly? We're in a parking

61
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:21.959
lot, and we're in a nice
wallet parking lot. It's it's next to

62
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.399
like, it's adjacent to a parking
garage, right, And this cop goes,

63
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.759
yeah, you gotta be careful this
time of night. There's all such

64
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.040
little places for people to hide in
the bushes and the parking garage and stuff

65
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.079
like that. This is a perfect
place to get assulted. And I'm like,

66
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:43.000
and then then she just drives off. No. I immediately start trying

67
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.240
to like put her fears at ease, But unfortunately the way that I could

68
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.000
best put her fears at ease would
be the exact wrong thing to do,

69
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.439
because you don't want to go to
a cop and go it's okay, don't

70
00:05:54.480 --> 00:06:00.519
worry, officer, I'm armed,
I got a pistol. I don't sweat.

71
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.040
I'm pretty sure there's there's lots of
evidence out there that you don't just

72
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.399
offer up out of nowhere to a
police officer. It's I got a gun.

73
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:11.519
No, you're supposed to if you
have an LTC and you get pulled

74
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.000
over, if you're pulled over on
a traffic stop and you are the driver,

75
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.160
you are supposed to immediately identify that
you have a license to carry,

76
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.279
and you're supposed to let them know
whether or not you're carrying. But it's

77
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.800
not. This is not one of
those situations. We're not being pulled over.

78
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.759
Cop just approaches in a parking lot
and just says, hey, y'all,

79
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.920
don't get assaulted. And I wanted
to be like, don't worry,

80
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:38.399
it's all good. I'm I'm,
I'm cool. But I can't so I

81
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.560
just, you know, kept both
of my hands on the hood of my

82
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:45.079
car. It was like, don't
worry, we won't get assaulted. I

83
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.399
appreciate your help. As you look
back over yourself back towards her and go,

84
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:55.319
oh, I'm I'm ready, officer. Why are both why why are

85
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.560
both of your hands on the hood
of your car than just making sure,

86
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.240
just making sure what she needs to
know where my hands are. She needs

87
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.160
to know exactly where my hands are. And that looks so guilty though,

88
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.879
I mean, I put yourself in
her police shoes. You roll up on

89
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:15.560
this scene of of of of of
two people outside of a taco shop in

90
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.600
an abandoned but an empty parking lot
at two thirty in the morning, albeit

91
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:24.160
well lit, and you roll up, roll your window down, and the

92
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.639
first thing one of them does is
spread their legs and put their hands on

93
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.240
the hood. No, I didn't
do that. I didn't assume the position.

94
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.600
He I just you know, I
had one of my hands in my

95
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.199
pocket when she pulled up, and
I'm like, all right, let's take

96
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.720
my hand out of my pocket immediately, and I know where to put it?

97
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.160
You know, where the hell do
I? What do I do with

98
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.959
my hand now? Right? One
hand is on the hood, like I'm

99
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.839
standing next to my car, and
one of one of my hands is on

100
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.120
like the hood right next to the
windshield, just kind of leaning against the

101
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.759
car. The other hand is free. Yeah, and I don't know what

102
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.519
the hell to do with it now, And I'm like, yeah, on

103
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.560
your hip or going to look too
like coquettish? Or is that going to

104
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.480
be uh do you put it behind
your head or stuff? That's exactly how

105
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.480
do I How do I show her
that? Like all? Or you just

106
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.399
do like a Forrest Gump and just
wave like Hi. Neither of my hands

107
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.600
are doing anything uh mischievous or or
dangerous. So I just I have one

108
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.519
hand leaning on the car and the
other hand is kind of set like next

109
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.639
to the other hand. Right,
Maybe have the other maybe have the free

110
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.319
hand like stroke your beard a little. I should have done that. Yeah,

111
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.440
that's a good one. That'd have
been good. It was, I

112
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.159
mean, yeah, sure. But
my point is the only reason I asked

113
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.360
that is because that could help to
sort of complicate the situation, or she's

114
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.120
trying to flirt or something like that. Well, I'm not saying like if

115
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.320
she was, I mean, maybe
she's bad at it, and her idea

116
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.879
of flirting is hey, y'all,
don't go good assault didn't now, But

117
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.759
the flip side would be if you
thought she's kind of cute. One is

118
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.919
you're trying to make sure that your
hands are visible to a police officer.

119
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.120
But then if it's a cute cop, now you're like, well, I

120
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.480
gotta look kind of cool too.
Yeah, I better start flexing. No,

121
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.759
officer, I haven't seen any assaults
around here. Maybe over in that

122
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:13.720
direction. I'm sorry, officer,
but I am licensed for these. Don't

123
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.840
laugh at that trade. That's terrible. Now, if I'm sitting here actually

124
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.960
trying to analyze what she was doing, she was probably just checking in are

125
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.559
these people selling drugs? Are they
doing something? You know? Are they

126
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.320
about to you know, start doing
some some Revershan Park antics out here.

127
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.120
This is not at Revershon Park,
by the way. So you had you

128
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:39.000
had the colonoscopy, Van I had
the colony. Uh, and uh,

129
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.000
I get it. She's just doing
She's making contact. In fact, I

130
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.879
think that's what they call it in
law enforcement operations. She is making contact

131
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.399
with somebody and she's making sure there's
nothing going wrong. You know. That's

132
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.159
that's it. But it felt like
the most awkward, silliest way to make

133
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.039
contact with some buddy, to roll
up and go, hey, don't you

134
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.799
get assaulted? Well, in a
weird way, it's sort of in it's

135
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.879
it depends on her delivery. But
it sounds like, you know, the

136
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.279
early stages of a slasher film,
when a group of college students go to

137
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.440
some scary po dunk town and the
sheriff rose up said, don't know,

138
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.639
y'all, go get murdered. No, I'm fishing this weekend, you know,

139
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.399
something stupid like that. That's kind
of what it sounds like. She

140
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.840
sounds like she's she's setting up the
story for you to get murdered. And

141
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.399
again, I would not be the
dumbest victim in the horror movie because I

142
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.279
stay strapped. But I can't tell
her this. I can't go. Don't

143
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.320
worry, officer, you see that
that's a pistol. You can't because then

144
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.320
I'm gonna get shot. Yeah,
yeah, ya, yeah, because at

145
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.960
that point, with your freehand,
you can't reach into your holster and pull

146
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.919
it out. It's like, it's
cool. I got a gun. Yeah,

147
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.759
don't sweat look at this. Start
waving it around like an idiot.

148
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:07.720
That's how you get shot. That's
how you interaction. But how else do

149
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:15.159
do you? I think I handle
it in the best possible manner, and

150
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.480
Trey, I don't know it's a
better way to do it. What's a

151
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.240
better way? If you're just hanging
out in a part you and you,

152
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.399
the two y'all are hanging out a
parking lot talking I don't know, the

153
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:30.799
Dallas Stars playoff run or something like
that, and and you're you're just minding

154
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.120
your own business. And then a
cop rolls up and goes, hey,

155
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:41.399
you two fellas, don't get assulted. We wouldn't be out that late.

156
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.240
We don't know, dude, I'm
in bed at like ten. Yeah,

157
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.440
I'm damn sure. Not in a
parking lot of a taco shot where where

158
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.279
outside of my car? I mean, you just hanging out, just hanging

159
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.600
out bars or clothes, you know, just I'm wanting to kill time two

160
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.919
while all the drunks get home.
So that I think is though, is

161
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.519
you're the one that actually looks suspicious. I get that. I'm at home

162
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.720
already. I'm at home, already
complaining about the current season of The Mandalorian.

163
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.679
I'm not at at an empty parking
lot at two thirty in the morning

164
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.799
being looking and possibly acting questionable.
I get it. I get that.

165
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:24.399
I it was a scenario in which
the police officer was probably right to come

166
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.440
up and just make contact and say, hey, everything cool with y'all,

167
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.039
But the way that she said it
of watch out around here. See all

168
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.879
those bushes, you see those the
parking garage over there, You see that

169
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.519
stop sign. There could be a
rascally rabbit hiding behind that stop sign.

170
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.919
That's where all of our assaulters are. It just felt so it felt so

171
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:52.840
fake and phony and like forced,
Like I don't know again, cops have

172
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.080
every right to make contact with somebody, but just come up with a better

173
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.200
six qus, a better story,
or just say, hey, asked,

174
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.440
want to make sure you guys,
you know, are all right? That's

175
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.360
fine. That to me, that
puts me like at extra ease. I'm

176
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.720
like, oh, that's so sweet, Na, Na, you know,

177
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:13.039
appreciate you, cop, but don't
you get assulted. You better watch out

178
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.759
for all these assaulters around here.
Okay, so so then tell me what

179
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.279
happened after that, after after,
after you, after she says that,

180
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.639
and then after you go, oh, okay, we won't. It was

181
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:26.919
the oddest thing. She just goes, you, watch out. There's all

182
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.440
sorts of places to get assaulted from
around here. There's places people can hide

183
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.759
in the shadows. And I go, don't worry. We're getting ready to

184
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.320
leave, right just to kind of
put her mind at ease, We're about

185
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.360
to take off. Don't sweat it, thank you about it. We've already

186
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.840
made our deal exactly. The drugs
have already been exchanged. I've already purchased

187
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.480
the Colin oscar be kid from this
man on Craigslist, and now we're just

188
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.960
discussing the stars playoff run. I
just tell her we're not here gonna We're

189
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.759
not gonna be here for long.
Thank you. I appreciate it, and

190
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.080
she goes all right, and she
just rolls up her window and drives off.

191
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.320
What's troubling to me about that is
she gives you the very clear warning,

192
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.960
watch out, because there's assaults that
happen here. I've got to watch

193
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:13.360
out for the bushes and the stop
sign and all that, But then she

194
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.759
just drives away. It's like,
well, just stay and make sure that

195
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.240
you two are safe, hang out
with us. Yeah, yeah, why

196
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.440
didn't you ask her? Go,
hey, well, why don't you hanger

197
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.600
out with us and make sure we
don't get assaulted? I think that's very

198
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.279
reasonable. It's I mean, it
doesn't typically say it on the side of

199
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.080
the cars anymore, but the idea
is still to protect and serve. And

200
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.399
then if you really needed to break
the ice, go hey, do you

201
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:50.600
know? Oh, should should I
bleep that? Yeah? You're in the

202
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.679
treehouse Switt, Dan O'Malley and Alfie
Koy because even if she doesn't know him,

203
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:16.759
he's heard it. Rodney Anderson joining
us in the tree house. Thanks

204
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.960
for being here, Rodney, We
always appreciate it. I was curious if

205
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.519
you could give us maybe the top
three reasons that listeners should get pre approved

206
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.960
before they decide to go out and
try to buy a house. Well.

207
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.440
Number one, sellers want to know
are you for real? In this market?

208
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:39.360
They may receive multiple offers on houses
because inventory is so tight right now,

209
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.679
so they pick up the phone and
call us, especially the selling agents

210
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.679
pick up the phone and call us
and say, can you tell me a

211
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.360
little about your client? When I
can say, I've given you a full

212
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:56.000
pre approval letter, we have verified
everything, the people have excellent income,

213
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.679
assets and credit and all I need
to contract and I'm ready to go.

214
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.200
That's music to the seller's ears.
Now on your side, you want to

215
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.799
sit there and go, I need
to know what my payments are going to

216
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.039
approximately. Be the last thing you
want to be doing is looking at a

217
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.279
house that's over your budget. And
then number three, you want to look

218
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.480
at how much money am I going
to need? And what program is best

219
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.320
for me? Am I going to
need more money down? Am I going

220
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.279
to need less money down? It's
all in the numbers and Dan, we

221
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.919
help people hold their hands, walk
them through the whole process. And best

222
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.120
of all, when people are buying
homes, our goals to get their purchase

223
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.759
done an eight to ten days.
And I can't tell you how many realtors

224
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.080
when we tell the selling agents that
we can get these things done that quick,

225
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.840
they're like, WHOA, where are
used to our lenders taking forty five

226
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.399
to sixty days exactly. And that's
one of the main reasons. As myself

227
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.240
being a release date agent, I
always told my clients. You use Rodney

228
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.639
Anderson because he can make things happen
that so many o these large banks just

229
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.919
can't seem to do. So before
I let you go, I did have

230
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.360
one other quick, not so random
question for you. But bear with me.

231
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.960
When was the last time you were
yelled at by a cop? Oh?

232
00:17:03.079 --> 00:17:06.640
Dude, it's been forever. I
don't think I've been yelled at by

233
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:11.160
a police officer because you know what, It's funny because I've been pulled over

234
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.319
probably five times in the last twenty
years. And what the people said is

235
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:19.519
you're Rudney Anderson from the radio,
and he said, and no, why

236
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.400
and then they let me off.
They give me a warning. In fact,

237
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.440
I got pulled over in Highland Village
about six months ago and it's the

238
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.640
second time the police officers pulled me
over in ten years. He's like,

239
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.519
hey, Rodney, how's it going? Slow down a little bit, how

240
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:41.640
fast are you going? I was
going about forty two and a thirty bad

241
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.039
but definitely not terrible. Well,
my car was in the shop. I

242
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.640
was in a rental from a Buddy's
dealership. Okay, I was in fall

243
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:53.440
little Tesla and that thing was haul
and butt and I didn't even look up

244
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.640
because of the normal spedometers up on
the computer, so it was not in

245
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.039
front of me. And so he
was very cool. I mean, he

246
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.880
was very cool. So I haven't
been yelled at by a police officer in

247
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.480
a very long time. All right, Well, I'm gonna keep that in

248
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.079
mind. So any sort of an
interaction you have with a police officer and

249
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:12.400
you don't get a ticket, that
to me is going to count as a

250
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.599
call to your office. So do
that right now. Give Rodney a call

251
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.799
nine seven two nine eight five fifty
two hundred if you can get him to

252
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.079
slow down to pick up the phone
nine seven two nine eight five fifty two

253
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.000
hundred. And yes, he'll slow
down and pick up the phone. The

You're in Luke Free House with Dan O'Malley

257
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:55.240
and Alfie Cord. I don't know
exactly the story behind it, but I

258
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.000
know I know when I know him. My buddy Trey sends me a text

259
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.640
that simply says, my cat is
stupid. I don't want to know anything

260
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:11.640
more until we dirt recording. I
just I got a broken cat. I

261
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:18.400
don't even know. I don't even
know what else I mean. He struggles

262
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:26.359
to jump, just even on a
tabletop. He routinely falls over, like

263
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.880
gets especially going down the stairs.
Whatever. He's not very graceful. He's

264
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:37.119
clumsy. He will not eat.
I'll like usually once a week I go

265
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:38.680
get a rotisserie chicken. I debone
it and I just put it in the

266
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.839
fridge and I put it on salads
or whatever. Will not eat chicken.

267
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:52.920
We'll not eat shrimp. We'll not
eat steak. But oh when I have

268
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.599
an asa E bowl with some granola, he all over that, like you

269
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.480
wouldn't believe. I mean, he
will literally, you know, claw me

270
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:07.559
to get to it. So,
so your cat's a hippie. I got

271
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.720
a vegan hippie cat. I figured
the dreadlocks on your cat should have been

272
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:18.599
a should have been a clue for
you. He's just I love him.

273
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.279
You know, he was astray that
I just started feeding and somehow, and

274
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.880
you know, it's just one of
those things. I probably he probably made

275
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.440
friends with me because he couldn't feed
himself. He's too clutzi. I mean,

276
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.839
I'm quite sure if he saw a
rat or something, he would run

277
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.200
and hide. Well maybe not maybe
not just the fact that he's clutzi,

278
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.960
but also realizing he'd go and sniff
something and be like, oh, no,

279
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:44.440
no, no, that's gotten meat
in it. Yeah, did you

280
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:51.519
use dairy in that? I don't
eat real cheese. I need to make

281
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.039
sure now. I need to make
sure that the cheese I eat is not

282
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.759
actually cheese, but instead is made
in a lab somewhere. Oh and the

283
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:03.880
other thing is every night I have
the same routine about nine thirty. Take

284
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.160
Daisy out, you know, let
her do her business. I come back

285
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.680
in. I give her a treat. That's you know, it's like a

286
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.839
cosequin, you know, like help
with joints for older dogs and whatnot.

287
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.440
I do it in the same spot
every night. Daisy knows right where to

288
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:25.680
go, sits down, you know, just waiting for her treat. Most

289
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:26.880
nights, Drew, I just have
to, you know. Finally, I

290
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.920
get tired of like trying to chase
him to come to the same spot,

291
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.319
and so I just I like have
to put the treats up on a table

292
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.920
and just hope he finds him,
and it's a fifty fifty shot. I'll

293
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:41.880
come down the next morning. Sometimes
I just I don't. I've and he's

294
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.000
got a you know, he's kind
of got this. It just looks like

295
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.960
a he looks like a cat that
was really fat and lost weight and then

296
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:52.839
you know, sell us a bunch
of excess skin. That's what is.

297
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:56.000
You know, he has kind of
this old man gut that just ye,

298
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:03.519
I've seen that I have. I
think we have our our our big cat

299
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.119
Warren. He's kind of got that
because he was really big for a while.

300
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:08.440
He had gotten up to like eighteen
pounds. Now we've got him down

301
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:14.960
to like fourteen. But he's got
the he's got the swaying BELLI synder and

302
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.119
Julius is and he and Julius never
got fat, that's the weird thing.

303
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.359
But he and his is a far
more pronounced than worn. And I wonder

304
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.680
if that's why he is a hard
time jumping up on the table like it

305
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.799
like his belly hits the corner and
well, yeah, it's just there's some

306
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.039
kind of physics at work that you
know he jumps, but that you know,

307
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:40.000
belly just takes longer to get up
there. You know that, and

308
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.079
the fact that my three pounds chihuahua
with no teeth, you know, Daisy

309
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.640
will just boss him around and chase
him around, and you know, God

310
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.200
bless him, he goes for it
because he could just smack the crap out

311
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.720
of her. Yeah, I just
I really And oh the other thing he

312
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:57.359
does now this is I guess more
cat like is you know, in the

313
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:02.359
middle of the night, sometimes I'll
go down on stairs and I'll get water

314
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.519
or whatever, and he will sit
under the coffee table and because he thinks

315
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.839
it's fun and I think he wants
my attention, he likes to just swipe

316
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.519
and just claw me right in my
achilles heel as I why I saw that

317
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.720
scene. It was it was a
scene out of the very first Chucky movie.

318
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.000
Yeah that's and yeah, and then
he doesn't you know, when all

319
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:29.200
of a sudden, I'm like,
expletives you, Julius, And he looks

320
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.359
quite shocked every time because he's already
thought, yeah, what are you?

321
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.839
Was fine, I'm a broken cat, right, that's yeah, that's he

322
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.839
has no And I don't know if
that's something that like, because he was

323
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.799
I guess orphan or whatever, and
maybe that's something the mom teaches him.

324
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.359
He does not understand when to put
claws up and when to not. Yeah,

325
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:53.400
so that's that's definitely a social socialization
thing. Because we had that with

326
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.480
Warren, our cat, because Tara
found him outside of a previous job in

327
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.960
an alley way and he just kind
of wandered in, you know, in

328
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:03.799
front of her car and she's like, oh my god, a cat,

329
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.799
and she scooped him up took him
home and of course, you know,

330
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:15.079
he's like three weeks old. His
eyes are barely like, are hardly open.

331
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:22.240
He's super tiny. He's covered in
fleas. Uh we we immediately or

332
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.599
she did. Actually she got him
in the kitchen sink and started giving him

333
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:27.240
a bath right to get the fleas
off of him. But because he wasn't

334
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:33.440
used to that either, he promptly
drowned and then oh, there's your cat.

335
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.279
You you picked him up for us
to see. H So then we

336
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.799
had to kind of revive the cat
because he kind of inhaled the water in

337
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.160
the flea bath. So that was
interesting. But same thing. He didn't

338
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:49.559
know how to play because he wasn't
properly socialized. So he didn't actually play.

339
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.200
He just hunted you, Like,
if you're walking down the hallway,

340
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:57.160
he would just come flying in,
just all claws. Yeah, that's that's

341
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.519
pretty much, you know. And
if I'm kind of going up the stairs,

342
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.400
and of course he never does it
when I have shoes on, but

343
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.799
when I'm barefoot, then he'll also
take that opportunity to chase me up the

344
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.759
stairs and he thinks it's rare a
lot of fun and just swipe at my

345
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:14.599
ankles, swipe at my achilles.
And so it's not just the fact that

346
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.039
you've got a broken cat. Your
cat's got a murderous streak in it.

347
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.319
Yeah, yeah, I mean,
and then to me, that's more typical

348
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.359
cat of you know, they're plotting
to kill you. But yeah, it's

349
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:32.160
just he's just he's just stupid.
Yeah. So we as humans, we've

350
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:36.880
made the mistake of claiming this world
as ours, when in reality it's the

351
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.920
cat world and they're just allowing us
to live in it until they decide otherwise,

352
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.759
until they you know, evolution gives
them opposable thumbs and we're all screwed

353
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:52.039
exactly. Oh that's the other thing. And I don't know, I've I've

354
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:55.680
grown up with kath on my life
somehow, Julius, I swear you would

355
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.200
think he has an opposable thumb.
So when he gets out of the litter

356
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.160
box he has a handful of litter, he just drags it all over the

357
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.599
house. I thought you're gonna say
he throws it in your face. He

358
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:10.960
might as well. You know,
maybe maybe you actually just unknowingly unlocked that

359
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.839
kitty cat's secret is that maybe they
actually do have opposable thumbs. They just

360
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.680
keep them hidden, and they only
use them when they just really really want

361
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.240
or need something. They just want
to vex their human by way the hell

362
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.400
they do that. They like to
They like to let us think that we're

363
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.799
in charge. So that's why they
keep that thumb hidden. Yeah, Alphie,

364
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.240
how was the cat that you had
for a while that you were taken

365
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.000
care of and then found a permanent
home for him? How? How how

366
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:44.000
was that kitty cat? Huh?
I'm sorry, I'm just I'm out of

367
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:48.559
it a little bit. I'm still
coping with the fact that Trey eats osa

368
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:56.279
e bowls. Here's the thing,
we don't know if Trey purposely ordered it

369
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.599
for himself or because the cat wouldn't
eat anything else. He's like, let

370
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.279
me just try granola. Which is
it, Trey, Um, I need

371
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:10.039
to know. Well, I get
Sam's will have them on occasion, and

372
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:14.359
I'll buy a package of the Assai
bowl because of the failure if it comes

373
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:18.319
from Sam's. Yeah, exactly,
you know what is as supposed to getting

374
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:23.920
them from spouts. This is a
very throwback and Alfie, I don't even

375
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.960
remember if you were at the time, but going back to the days when

376
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:34.599
Craig Ludent, yeah, was pimping
the ash juice and ever since then,

377
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.519
I really liked it. But the
bowl, you got to do the ball,

378
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.839
well, that's how it comes and
you don't have to eat it out

379
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.400
of the ball. You know.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing,

380
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:49.359
Trey. So from the time that
you left the radio show in in twenty

381
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:56.680
twelve, uh, Alfie evolved and
the way most of us evolved. As

382
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.319
we get older, what happens we
have a tendency to start hating things,

383
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:04.200
right, and we don't like change, right. So that's that's what started

384
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.319
happening to Alfie after you left,
after you left the Treehouse back in twenty

385
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:15.480
twelve. Because Alfie then found initially
something to truly hate, and that was

386
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:22.119
avocado toast. Yes I didn't,
and I enjoy the vocado toast is putting

387
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:25.559
a smoothie that should be in a
cup in a bowl instead, you dan,

388
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.920
thank you. It's a smoothie if
they just put it in a bowl

389
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.720
and they charge you five dollars more
for it, they sprinkle some granola,

390
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:40.039
some seeds or something, maybe a
barrier two that weren't actually thrown in the

391
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:45.200
damn blender into honey, and they
go, that'll be twelve dollars as opposed

392
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.079
to the you know, four dollars
smoothie or something like that. It's a

393
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.319
smoothie. It's a smoothie that you're
eating out of a bowl with a spoon.

394
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:55.359
It's where the hell do you get
a four dollars smoothie? Trade home

395
00:28:55.440 --> 00:29:00.039
smoothie human They still have for four
dollars a smoothie King, because I love

396
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.759
smoothie King. You know, you
can't even get a kid smoothie for four

397
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:08.240
bucks. But but that's actually what
I was saying. It's basically ice in

398
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.599
a sprits of water and then you
hand it to a child and that's your

399
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.480
four dollars one yeah, because the
smoothie I normally get its smoothie King.

400
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:17.880
It's like ten bucks. Yeah,
I know, same here. But the

401
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.640
point is Assai bowls. It's just
extra steps. You're just you're getting more

402
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.440
dishes dirty when all you need is
a cup and a straw. And well,

403
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.079
these are frozen, they come in
a bowl. I'm not putting them

404
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.039
in a bowl. I'm not having
someone like and they're they're cheap. It's

405
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:36.079
like, okay, that's that.
That is probably my main concern. How

406
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:40.799
much What it is is Trey,
you are buying the scam as opposed to

407
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.000
uh, making your own scam.
Yeah, but you know the scam I'm

408
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.279
running. Yeah, or if they've
running, it'll only cost I guess two

409
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:51.720
dollars a bowl, So that's not
bad. You go to some stinking,

410
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.200
you know, hoity toity sit down
breakfast place and they charge you for a

411
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:02.240
stinking smoothie in a bowl, and
they're they're up charging twenty thirty percent.

412
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.720
That's what just annoys or crap out. I mean, that's my problem with

413
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.000
the avocados toast too. And I
know lots of listeners have heard me harp

414
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.480
on it, and I know that
sound like a broken record right now.

415
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:15.559
But I enjoy avocado toast. I
despise the scam of it, the absolute

416
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.519
adiotic paying twelve dollars for a frigging
piece of bread, a little bit of

417
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:25.200
GUACAMOLEI half the time, and oh, we sprinkled some salt on it,

418
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.279
so that'll be twelve dollars at an
egg solfe. You just hate restaurants.

419
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:40.480
I hate restaurants that absolutely take advantage
of people for like minimal minimal input,

420
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:45.519
minimal effort, maximum price. If
I can't cook something, I will gladly

421
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.319
pay for it, I will gladly
pay well for it. Chicken wings is

422
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:53.000
a perfect example. Chicken wings are
something that is an absolute pain in the

423
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:59.799
ask to cook on your own at
home and get them nice restaurant crispy quality.

424
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.000
I'm willing to pay for that.
But avocado toast, where it's a

425
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:10.079
piece of bread, usually an eighth
of an avocado smashed up, and we

426
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:15.000
sprinkled some salt on it, sir, that'll be twelve dollars. If you

427
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:22.799
put a protein on it, that's
another sixty eight dollars leftover bacon from the

428
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:29.359
night before or something. Get out
of here. The assai e bowl is

429
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.119
just to me an extension of that
if they took the smooth dunderstand that.

430
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.759
I understand that you're saying you're you're
worried someone's going to be hearing this,

431
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.799
and then you're like, oh,
there goes Alpha gooing, blah blah blah.

432
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:45.319
But the thing is you you are
still fighting the good fight, because

433
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.720
as long as the restaurant industry is
going to scammed its customers, then you

434
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:53.480
are going to carry the anti avocado
toast price gouging flag. So it's not

435
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:59.680
your fault. And it heard just
responding to the to the continued attacks on

436
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:04.039
America, so exactly, it hurts
my heart hearing that people. People are

437
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.400
are still susceptible as I'm not talking
about Trey, I'm talking about trace Cat.

438
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:14.240
But wake up, people, It's
just in a ball. It's a

439
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:22.039
smoothie in a ball. Up people. They handed you a spoon. I

440
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:23.319
can't remember the name of it,
but I have to admit there is a

441
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:28.759
place. There's a place. I
know they've got a few locations, but

442
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:32.160
I think they're individual franchises and they
have fruit bowls. I don't know if

443
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.160
they're smoothie bowls. I don't know
what they call them. Um, it's

444
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:42.279
not like a fruit cup, is
it. It's a fun, refreshing state

445
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:46.359
fair treat or something? No,
I mean it's it might actually be a

446
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.680
smoothie ball. I don't know.
All I know is it that is damn

447
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.039
delicious. It comes, it's got
this stuff in there. It's kind of

448
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:53.480
blended up, but it's still thick. To me, it's sticker than a

449
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:58.359
smoothie. But then it'll have some
like chunks of fruit and they don't have

450
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.880
like some granola or something in there
for crunch, and then some honey drizzled

451
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.480
on top. And it's delicious.
How much they charge you for it?

452
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.720
Dan, I don't know. I
don't. I don't. You gotta call

453
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:12.880
Rodney Anderson every time you get one
of these damn things. It is sad

454
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.039
he has to tell me each time. He's like, damn, seriously,

455
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.440
we're gonna refinance you again, Rodney, I want the extra chia seeds.

456
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:22.799
Can I get the extra chia seeds? Did I? Did I build any

457
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:29.119
equity over the last three days?
I got a hankering for another mango bowl.

458
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:34.359
That's the other one too. They
got mango steen bowls first of all,

459
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.359
what the f is a mango?
Steen? And second, I don't

460
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:39.880
know they it's a smoothie ingredient.
As far as I'm concerned, it's something

461
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:44.000
that I see on the board at
a smoothie king when I want a smoothie

462
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:46.440
and they just put it in a
bowl and they go, that'll be thirty

463
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:51.599
percent more. Please, Alfie,
have you ever tried to peel the mango?

464
00:33:52.400 --> 00:34:00.480
Okay, you win this one,
Trey. We're in the treehouse with

465
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:27.719
Dan O'Malley and Alfie Coy. You're
in the treehouse with Dan O'Malley and Alfie

466
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:34.440
Cord. This is the type of
topic that is really divisive, you know,

467
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.159
uh in the treehouse, at least
inside my brain, because on one

468
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:44.519
hand, I really think it's useful
and important information to share. On the

469
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:47.800
other side, it makes us sound
so uncool that it makes me not want

470
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:52.559
to listen, even though I have
to be here for it. Why why

471
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:58.119
you bring this up in conversation?
Trey brought it up. It's his fault.

472
00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:00.159
I blame Trey. No, that's
mine. I'm fine with Trey and

473
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:06.159
I and all of us having a
discussion off off the air or during a

474
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.519
break. Why are you gonna bring
it up when we're when we're doing the

475
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:13.320
podcast. Did you hear what I
just started with saying, On one hand,

476
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:15.679
I don't want to sound completely uncool, But on the other hand,

477
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:22.079
Trey seemed to have found some magical
bottled elixir that cleans anything and everything,

478
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:28.960
and I think we should tell the
world about it. Okay, I the

479
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.480
Dawn. It's in a blue bottle, comes with a spray top. It

480
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.360
will change your life, the way
you do dishes, everything. It is

481
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:38.800
all the scrubbing everything you'd literally you
spray this stuff on. Wait a couple

482
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:42.400
of minutes and everything comes off.
You get to stay in on your clothes,

483
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.719
spray it on, put it in
the washer. It's better than spray

484
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:46.280
and wash. You want to clean
your tennis shoes, to spray it on

485
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.519
there, scrub them. It is
miracle stuff I have not seen. I

486
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:54.000
have not seen a spray don the
only don ever sees the liquid stuff comes

487
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:55.840
in the boy gotta squeeze it out, put it in your thingy, and

488
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:00.000
then you know you do your dishes. Is the first of all. Are

489
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.559
we advertising or like that they advertising
with us as a sponsored segment or something.

490
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:07.159
Not yet, but I think we
should take a clip of this and

491
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:09.119
send it to the Dawn people and
say, hey, put down that oil

492
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:15.159
covered duck and send us some money. Is this the Dawn Platinum Powerwah disk

493
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:20.199
spray? Yes, okay, it
looks pretty neat. It looks like he

494
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:23.679
just squeezed the spray trigger and you
spray it on stuff and you clean dishes.

495
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:28.960
I don't know what. I don't
know what magical sorcery are they found

496
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.280
to create this and put whatever magic
is a bottle, But I'm telling you

497
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:36.719
go get some. Anytime you have
to scrub a dish, anything, you

498
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.679
just spray it on. It's It's
miraculous and it's better than careful about this

499
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:45.599
though, because the last stuff we've
talked about at length was the uh,

500
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:50.719
the old Granddad one fourteen whiskey,
and now it's hard to find in North

501
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:58.360
Texas because regular Dawn's pretty good.
Like I'll use regular down dish soap for

502
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.960
you know, if there's a stain
on my shirt, like you said,

503
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:02.000
I'll just get in there and scrub
it with some hot water. Takes care

504
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:07.559
of things real quick. But I
was complaining about having to clean cookie sheets

505
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.480
like um cooling racks you know what
I mean because I used them one time

506
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:16.159
for cooking chicken wings. And yeah, chicken wings. It definitely wasn't butternut

507
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:20.199
squash. Yeah no, the chicken
wings came out really good. I say,

508
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.440
I'm going to man up this segment
a little bit. All right,

509
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:27.559
there we go. That was it
was kind of a a week Well it

510
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:31.480
sounded good on my end. Okay, fictured and posted all right here and

511
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:38.599
there we go. That's a good
one. Thank you. Um, regular

512
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:45.440
dawn just soap is good. But
scrubbing the stupid cooling racks is just such

513
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.519
a giant pain in the ass When
there's chicken grease and scan all in the

514
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:52.440
grid there, it's just an absolute
pain in the ass. So you're telling

515
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.039
me, now we know you just
get you a bottle of the tray spray,

516
00:37:55.559 --> 00:38:00.719
the Dawn powerwashed spray is what I
need? Is that what you're saying?

517
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.679
Go get a bottle, and I
promise you you will thank me.

518
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:08.239
Okay, I'll check it out.
Seriously, Someone send this clip to down.

519
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:14.719
What is that Procter and Gamble or
something. I hope you're right it's

520
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.239
Procter and Graham Gamble. Okay,
good, Yeah, someone send P,

521
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:25.840
P and g A an email.
So anyway, Yeah, bikinis and booms

522
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:44.480
and stuff, Whiskey motorcycles. Can
you use this hemp scenes? Yeah?

523
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:50.840
Can you use this stuff to like, sorry and go for it? Can

524
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:53.599
you use the stuff to like clean
an oil spill in the in the driveway?

525
00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:58.079
I think you could? All right, good, just make sure clean

526
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:06.440
something manly and definitely not use it
for my pedicure or your colonoscopy camera.

527
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.960
So where is it going to use
it? I would definitely want it to

528
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.719
be clean. So, as of
the recording of this, the colon colonoscopy

529
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:20.400
camera is still on Craigslist, but
I don't know. We'll see if some

530
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:24.400
listener picks it up. Yeah,
I'm not gonna do it. It's that

531
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:30.960
that's even too frivolous for me.
No, I think for the right price,

532
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.679
it's it's just the right amount of
frivolous. Four hundred bucks is pretty

533
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.039
frivolous, Dan. That's why I'm
saying, if you just get their price

534
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:39.280
knocked down some, then all of
a sudden, I think it'd be worth

535
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:43.039
it. Oh God, I don't
like haggling. I went to an estate

536
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:47.920
sale the other day and there's people
in there absolutely haggling over just the dumbest,

537
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:53.320
dumbest stuff, like it's an old
jewelry box. The price says,

538
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:58.639
you know, ten bucks? Why
are you making this harder on everyone?

539
00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:05.119
Just either you want to you don't. I don't know the end of the

540
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.599
day that that's really what it is. I mean, my wife is probably

541
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:14.000
the best uh negotiator, the best
haggler I've ever seen, because there have

542
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:20.519
been a couple of instances where she
expressed minor interest in an item and the

543
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:24.880
salesperson's like hey, he just starts
taking her through the whole spiel, and

544
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.119
then she just goes namm good,
Like this happened on our honeymoon. We're

545
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.920
at We're we're at our honeymoon,
and she she wanted a like a swimsuit

546
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:37.159
cover up, right, So she
goes into this little store and she's looking

547
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:38.519
at it, and the guy comes
over. He's like, oh, do

548
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:40.880
you want it? I'll take twenty
percent off of him, and she's like,

549
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.079
I don't think I really want it. She's like, I don't think

550
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.119
it's worth that, and then she
just puts it up and starts leaving,

551
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:52.719
and the guy chases her down the
beach. And eventually, eventually she just

552
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:59.079
straight up says, mainly just to
get him to leave her alone. She's

553
00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:02.559
like, I'll give you twenty bucks
for it. And he was so mad,

554
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.519
so mad, he took the deal. But that's why he was so

555
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:09.639
mad, because he was like,
Okay, twenty bucks, fine, and

556
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:13.480
he hated her guts, but he
took the sale. Best haggler I've ever

557
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:17.159
seen, mainly because she really did
not care. Yeah, and ultimately that's

558
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:23.079
what you gotta do. But I
mean, if you want something, just

559
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:27.519
pay the price. But if you
could live without it, that's the kind

560
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:31.320
of mindset you have to be in. If you're gonna haggle, That's not

561
00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:38.360
the mindset I'm in, because you
really want the colony? Can all right?

562
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:43.559
You ready for Are you ready for
a nice segue? Trey? Absolutely,

563
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:46.800
because we really manned that one up
with antiquing and swimsuit cover ups.

564
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:55.719
I've gotten really good at seguays over
the years. So, speaking of speaking

565
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.199
of colonoscopies, are all buddy,
Luke Bryan was in the news. Oh

566
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:04.920
really, yeah, he was actually, uh, he was on I think

567
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.960
it was Jimmy Kimmel or he was
on one of the night shows. Hang,

568
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:13.239
I'm I can pull this up real
quick. Uh. And you know

569
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:16.639
how artificial intelligence it's it's very popular
right now. Everyone. You know,

570
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:22.000
it's like, oh, artificial intelligence, this artificial intelligence that um. In

571
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.400
fact, he was on Jimmy Kimmel, so Jimmy Kimmel decided to have one

572
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:32.400
of those new artificial intelligence pages hammer
out a song in the style of Luke

573
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:43.119
Bryan and uh and they and they
played it for him on the shows.

574
00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:46.159
Just me and my guitar, trying
to find my way back home. But

575
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:52.079
it seems so very far. I'm
just a small town living in this crazy

576
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:58.280
world. I'll keep on singing my
songs and let my voice be heard.

577
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:07.559
Not that good, but I think
I'm okay for now on the AI.

578
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:14.079
So that's pretty That was really awful. I mean, that's very bad.

579
00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.440
Do you think it you think it's
it's it's even bad by Luke Brian lyric

580
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:21.559
standards. Yes, I'm sorry.
Luke Brian is not Mozart, but everything

581
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:25.360
he does is miles ahead of that
garbage. I don't know, because I

582
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:30.239
always go back to that one song
where he talked about you know where he

583
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:34.960
just kept rhyming up and up and
up and then threw in a real curveball

584
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.960
and threw in the word cup again. This man is not Mozart, but

585
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:45.480
that that AI thing was awful,
Like like Luke Bryan at least has like,

586
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:47.880
you know, fun melodies. That
was more of like here, I'm

587
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:55.320
gonna hear this again, just me
and my gatar trying to find my way

588
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:59.480
back home. But it seems so
you know what it sounds like. It

589
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:05.239
sounds like really like a really really
bad John Mellencamp knock off. M hmm,

590
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.840
I could hear that. Yeah,
it's just kind of talk singing.

591
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:22.440
Luke Brian will at least pretend to
try and sing things, even if it's

592
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:30.920
the same note. But bla,
I mean he's at least putting forth some

593
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:34.000
effort. That AI thing was just
garbage. And some of these days,

594
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:40.440
this dude they think they can hit
hit the target pretty good. Sometimes they

595
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:45.159
can. And I think what happened
is is it's almost like Jimmy Kimmel used

596
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:49.320
the AI thing, and then you
could hear Luke in there. He's kind

597
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:51.920
of like he's he's sort of offended
by He's like, man, no,

598
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.559
I'm fine, I'm nothing to worried. About and uh so he's he's he's

599
00:44:54.639 --> 00:45:00.519
kind of being a little uppity about
it. Well, I mean, he's

600
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.480
got to have some concern for his
well being if he gets replaced by a

601
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:13.599
robot who's gonna feed his pond all
them trucks. That is a man.

602
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:19.800
That is a legitimate concern Alphie.
By the way, Jimmy Kimmel, after

603
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.159
that appearance, he really got me
scared because I thought that AI was actually

604
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:28.719
better than than I'm a little afraid. I'm afraid from a job. Why

605
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:32.199
because the AI was better. I
thought it was gonna really suck, but

606
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:36.480
I thought it'd had some some some
kind of high points because I like to

607
00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:37.880
drive on the back roads. Oh
sorry, who is this I'm speaking to?

608
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:43.880
So we're gonna re establish with Brian
Hi this very old bit. Yeah.

609
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:46.760
I decided I nose through my trash
and come up with some old old

610
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:52.079
song lyrics to see if I could
be reinspired to write better music. I

611
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:55.000
wanted to see if y'all boys in
the treehouse would give me some proper feedback.

612
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:58.599
Sure, go for it. I
mean, I don't like I don't

613
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:00.119
like the fact that you're saying that
it's better, even though I'm standing here

614
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:05.320
defending you well you know, but
that's why I want. I want you

615
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:07.360
to hear it. Alphie. I
think I need to have more yes men

616
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:12.280
in my camp. Go for it
because because mainly most of the people around

617
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:17.480
me are screaming help, help,
and they're not real good at giving me

618
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:22.480
lyrical feedback. And you know what
I mean, it's mostly screams and uns.

619
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:25.400
It real real hard to to to
give honest feedback when you've cut out

620
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:30.239
their tongue, right, see see
you get me, Alphie. Thank you.

621
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:34.519
Anyway, So I've been working on
I've been working on a couple of

622
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:36.800
new didties. So let me throw
these at you. Okay, let me

623
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.800
know what you think. I need
your honest opinion because I can't be uh

624
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:45.159
what is it, AMG Artist of
the Year again without it? Okay?

625
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:52.280
My wife don't love me no more, probably because of this here sore no

626
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:58.159
idea where it came from, I
swore, But her cooch now looks like

627
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:02.639
a smore. Is that good?
No, that's quality. That's like,

628
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.440
uh, it's okay, thank god, that's up. That's that's Nashville Nashville

629
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:09.920
standard. All right, we'll go
well, let well, let me throw

630
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:15.320
the second verse at you. Uh, this old hooker told me to get

631
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:21.239
out. My only choice was to
pout. Does this mean I've lost all

632
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:27.159
my cloud Oh my god, I
have crotched out. I can now see

633
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:32.719
why she told me to get out. Hmm. That sounds like a George

634
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:37.639
Straight song to me, But I
can't put my finger on which one I

635
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:49.199
was inspired. I've been I've been
listening to a lot of Spotify. Uh,

636
00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:51.199
here's another one. Tell me what
you think of this one. I'm

637
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:53.840
thinking of putting this as the new
single on my next album. Okay,

638
00:47:55.039 --> 00:48:00.639
me, me, Me me.
I am friends with everyone in my band

639
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:07.360
except Doug. He hit me with
a backstand. He said he pushed me

640
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:14.480
into quicksand I don't know why he
bites the hand that feeds his ugly kids

641
00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:19.800
and that sluck wife that I slam. I think you got a platinum record

642
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:22.920
on your hands, everybody you think
so? Yeah? Yeah? The AI.

643
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:29.440
The AI can't touch that sort of
realism, human human experience right there.

644
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:34.519
I've also been inspired by some of
that Florida Georgian line country rap stuff.

645
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.440
So let me throw these at you
here. Okay, go, I

646
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.519
am one with nature. I like
fishing and hunting. For sure. All

647
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:45.039
I need is a good lure,
and I get off on a good hauler

648
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:52.519
when I run people over on my
tractor. Is this a real Florida Georgia

649
00:48:52.559 --> 00:49:05.800
