00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:32.039
Welcome into the Treehouse once again.
I'm Dan O'Malley, joined of course by
2
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:38.960
Alfie Cole. Say hello, Alfhie
Hello, And I'm wondering in what type
3
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.479
of mood our dear dear friend and
also a member at the Treehouse, Trey
4
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.920
Trendhold, is in. How are
you feeling today, Tree? I'm all
5
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.719
right, even even though with the
chore that you had to do earlier today.
6
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:58.840
Yeah, you got a change the
sheets, just like the one day
7
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.359
of the year that they we're supposed
to change your seats. No, I
8
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.239
do that twice here. I'm actually
pretty good. I do that about every
9
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.040
three to four weeks. Yeah,
that's that's too many. Come on,
10
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:19.000
what's happening in your bed that you
changed them that often. I have a
11
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.439
cleaning lady that comes by about once
every three to four weeks, and yusually
12
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:30.519
judgment or you're just letting her do
it. Um its just having her come
13
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.200
in makes me feel like I need
to, you know, not look gross.
14
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.519
And so I just changed my seats
right now. I get it.
15
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.640
You you stripped the bed, throw
them in the wash room and then let
16
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.519
her do the rest of it.
Yeah, pretty much, I get it.
17
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.239
So it wasn't your cleaning lady that
came today? What is it that
18
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.439
that you got to do today you
had the privilege of doing. Please share
19
00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:01.879
with Alphie the excitement that that that
you incurred today. I see your eyes
20
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.280
searching your brain, like I didn't
do anything fun today? What did you
21
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.439
do before the show? Trey?
Uh? What are you talking about?
22
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.439
Why are you growing Trey so hard? Dan? I got Well, I
23
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.680
think I think I've actually screwed up. I think I realized that I thought
24
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.120
today was one day, and I
think what I'm asking Trey about actually happens
25
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:30.360
tomorrow. Oh oh, there's something
brooding tomorrow. Are you to take my
26
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.960
mom to the doctor? Yeah,
that's it? No, Yeah, those
27
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:46.520
are fun days. Is she pregnant? Oh god, no, are you
28
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.479
gonna do that? What I mean? I don't know exactly how old she
29
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.919
is. You know, people are
having babies, you know, much later
30
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.639
in life. She's seventy eight,
so I think we're No. It's it's,
31
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:05.000
you know, one of those things
that if you're lucky enough and I
32
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.159
use that term loosely to still have
your parents and live close to them,
33
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.520
you'll end up taking them to a
lot of doctor's appointments as they get older.
34
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.840
And this is exactly the reason why
I feel like, if you're going
35
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:22.439
to have kids, you need to
have at least two, because then that
36
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.039
way one ends up being stuck with
the parents and the other one gets to
37
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.719
go live a life of enjoyment.
There are very few times in my life
38
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:37.680
where I have wished for a sibling, but and taking care of my mother,
39
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.439
man, it would be nice to
have someone to go just take this
40
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.520
for one day, give me a
break. Try you only child? Yes?
41
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.080
Have you ever been accused of having
only child syndrome? Uh? Yeah?
42
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.639
What does that entail? Exactly?
Because I've heard of it, and
43
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.680
I'll like yell at at friends that
are only only children just to yeah,
44
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.599
I'm curious. I've heard of only
child syndrome home. But I don't know.
45
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.599
I'll scream it at somebody just to
make them, you know, just
46
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.479
to have something over them. But
I have no freaking clue what it is.
47
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.639
One of my friends does something dumb, only child syndrome, or if
48
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.639
they're doing something I don't agree with, only child syndrome, you know,
49
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.160
I think that's one of those things. A lot of it is. You
50
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.439
know, you're used to just not
having to share, not having to do
51
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:30.920
anything, just so you're selfish,
self centered. Um, you know,
52
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.560
I think it's worse in kids,
because you know, I it's like,
53
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:41.120
I look back at my childhood and
I was, Yeah, between that and
54
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.000
drinking is horribly immature. And a
lot of that is being an only child
55
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:53.519
and you don't have any any example
of what you're really supposed to do.
56
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.639
I guess so, well, isn't
that the same problem for like the lead
57
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:03.120
kid. It's just the lead kid
then to deal with each subsequent child being
58
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:09.000
treated better than they were, well
there, And I think lies the difference
59
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:14.639
because if you're the oldest child,
then you know, you have to you
60
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.560
have to come to have to come
to grips with the fact that you're no
61
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.360
longer the favorite and that life is
going to be challenging for you. And
62
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.759
I think that prepares you, you
know, for the future ahead, whereas
63
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.160
if you're the only child like Trey, then it could go. It could
64
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.360
really it's sort of fifty fifty.
You could get someone, you could get
65
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.240
parents who really prepare you for the
future and are hard on you, or
66
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:42.199
you're just spoiled because you're the only
kid they had. And the friends I
67
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.079
The kids that really get screwed are
the middle kids. If you have more
68
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.319
than two, because firstborn's firstborn,
they're going to get some and then the
69
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.319
last one is the baby, and
then the ones in the middle they just
70
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:58.360
kind of get lost in the shovel. But this is why I think it's
71
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.480
so important that that that again,
and if you're gonna have kids, you
72
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.600
need to have more than one that
way. And I think this happens quite
73
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.120
a lot. Um. It's happened
in my family, and I'm not sure
74
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.839
exactly alpha you tell me if this
has happened in yours. So in my
75
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.920
family, it's my sister who takes
care of my mom. Luckily, she
76
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.959
doesn't need a whole lot of taken
care of because she's she's pretty dark and
77
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.759
self sufficient. The good news is
she's had enough surgeries on major joints now
78
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.759
that she's you know, almost wolverine, so she's getting around pretty good.
79
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:35.319
Whereas me, I'm off doing my
own thing because my sister has basically shouldered
80
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.480
the mama responsibility. Yeah, I
don't know, you've got you've got multiple
81
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.480
siblings. I do have multiple siblings, And are you the one that's entrusted
82
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.120
with taking care of Mama, or
is one of the other siblings is stepping
83
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:55.959
up. No, we've all we've
all shouldered responsibility from time to time.
84
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.920
Really, oh yeah, equally.
Yeah, yeah, that's what That's what
85
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.120
good children do, like me and
try. It's not like you, horrible
86
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:09.360
Dan. Now, I've kind of
done the thing that I had another friend
87
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:14.360
of mine do. So he doesn't
live near home like me, and his
88
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.680
sister helps take care of his parents, but he'll occasionally help them out financially,
89
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.519
which I've also done for my mom. So that's kind of it's a
90
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.399
different cross to bear, but you
know, it's the situation has a tendency
91
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.560
to work itself out. But I
give you credit, Alfhie having a family
92
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.920
that if all the siblings want to
equally share the responsibility, I guess good
93
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.040
on you. Is that what you
tell your therapist? He said, well,
94
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.680
well, you know, I just
live so far away, and but
95
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.399
I help out financially. I send, I send um, I send coupons
96
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.920
their way. Well, go ahead, Tray, don't don't let Alphie guilt
97
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.279
you into that. You're in a
wonderful situation. Enjoy it, embrace it,
98
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.759
absolutely love it. Trey dogpile.
You can guilt him jealous. I
99
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.319
can't see albe alb You're you're obviously
your family and your siblings. Y'all are
100
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.000
kind of the unicorn because I can
tell you this and this is you know,
101
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:16.040
I'm just being older and parents are
older. Most people you know that
102
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.639
have siblings, there's always one that
gets stuck with doing the majority of work.
103
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.439
I don't have a choice. It's
either me or you know, locker
104
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.199
in a closet. Yeah, to
tell her to wheel or ass over to
105
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.639
the store. I've seen people doing
that on the streets all the time.
106
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.240
It's like they got the they're in
the wheelchair and they they pull up the
107
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.519
little foot pedals that that you rest
your feet on, and then they just
108
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.799
use their little feet to walk down
the street. And I'm always wondering,
109
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.399
It's like, Okay, where are
you going? Do you know where you're
110
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.360
going? It's either CVS or maybe
you're trying to roll to the doctor or
111
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.960
something. No. I've I've asked
one of those people one time where they're
112
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.759
going and she said, well,
my son, Dan O'Malley won't take me
113
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:03.080
to the Kroger to just just to
get you know cereal oatmeal, it's called
114
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.639
mom. They have technology now to
bring the groceries to you. You don't
115
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.519
need me. Oh have you have
you ever tried to eat? Have you
116
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.000
ever tried to talk your parents through
using an app? No? And this
117
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.360
is the great thing about having my
sister be the responsible one for you know,
118
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.159
everything in that house for my mom. That's her problem. She's the
119
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.120
one that's got to explain grubhub and
door dash to mama. Yeah, it's
120
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:35.720
it's that is when I moved my
my mom's husband died tragically August of twenty
121
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.240
twenty, and I had to move
her back to Dallas. And when I
122
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.639
did, and I it's like,
Okay, I'm gonna set you up on
123
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.320
all these different apps. So really, anything you want you can get.
124
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.559
It's it's it's it's literally at your
fingertips. Yes, yes, I mean
125
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.159
and this is a woman who has
an iPhone and iPad, a computer,
126
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.639
everything, And I mean I'm uber
each wait oh wait, is she an
127
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:05.519
old lady or is she a Toddler's
get the same goal. It's the line
128
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.360
between those two are very very very
thin. I mean, it is it's
129
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.399
a joke. You hear it.
You know, the older you get,
130
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.000
you know, at a certain point, you turned back into a child a
131
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.200
man. That's it is so true, because but sometimes I just want mom
132
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:30.720
to be quiet at Applebee's. Oh
god, um, I mean so I
133
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:37.120
set her up Drubbub, Uber Eats, Kroger, Walmart, Chewy, pet
134
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:45.519
Smart, Charity, had Amazon.
And you know how many times she's used
135
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.120
anything except Walmart? How many?
None? Well? I think I know
136
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.360
why it is because she there's the
biggest app that's on her phone or iPad.
137
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.000
It's the one that simply says Trey
that's yes. I finally figured out
138
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.159
about a month ago. I forgot
what was going on. But it was
139
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:09.039
just because she gave me this callie, I don't have anything to eat them,
140
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:15.000
I'm gonna starve, Mike. I
just order something. You can do
141
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.000
it, and you know, and
she'sa I need you to do it.
142
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.559
Nope, I'm not doing it.
And amazingly, you know, push came
143
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.759
to shove hunger. Being a great
motivator, she ended up having to do
144
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.039
it. Now Ever, since then, I can't get her to replicate it
145
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.600
because then she's like, oh,
I just don't remember what I did.
146
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.600
Can you order it for me?
Sure, man, you are such a
147
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.879
pushover. That's yeah's abuse your parents
like Dan once you too. Come on,
148
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.399
all the cool kids like Dan are
abusing their parents. It's not all
149
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.639
right. If it was abuse,
turnabouts fair play. Second of all,
150
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.639
it's not abuse. It's tough love, which I got a lot of growing
151
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.840
up. It was hey, you
go figured out. Well, guess what
152
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.279
now it's your turn to figure it
out. Yeah, I wish I could
153
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.159
due to my mother, what my
you know what she did to me?
154
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.720
And yeah, that's one of the
things I could. Yeah, all the
155
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.600
time is when she's like, you
don't call, you don't do anything.
156
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.720
You remember, you're the one who
told me to entertain myself and I learned
157
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.159
how to. That means I don't
need you. That's why I don't call.
158
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.159
Congratulations, your parenting worked. That's
good. That's really good. You
159
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.759
take the things that she instilled in
you and you're throw them back in her
160
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.039
face. This is your fault.
I'm this way because of you. Either
161
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.720
one of you guys still got doctor
Thornton's phone number. I believe I do.
162
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:39.039
You should share it with everyone,
not not listeners, but amongst yourselves.
163
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.879
Why you think we need therapy?
Because of our parents. I mean,
164
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.399
we do, but it just feels
weird to hear somebody else say it.
165
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:58.879
I think former bosses might require more
therapy than parents. That almost seems
166
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.879
like it goes without saying, Yeah, have you guys talked to a therapist
167
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.799
about this a little bit? And
well, it turns out we had a
168
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.919
lot of others to get through before
I could get to my messed up parental
169
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:18.480
situation. M hmm, it's a
murky waters. Do you have any other
170
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.759
therapy sessions scheduled for the future?
Me right now? No, I need
171
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.879
I need to actually find a new
therapist. Thornton can't do it here or
172
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.720
you're your olds you're old therapist.
Thornton's actually have a bad, bad choice
173
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.080
for us. Not for other people, he's a great therapist, but for
174
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:39.480
us he's a horrible, horrible choice
because he can't be objective. But yeah,
175
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.039
you can't call your old therapists and
do like, you know, zoom
176
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.440
sessions or whatever. Now I wish, I mean, I apparently she's limited.
177
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.559
Her license is limited to the state
of Texas, So if I'm not
178
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.919
in Texas, then then she can't
therapy me. Or that was just the
179
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.159
excuse, she used, so she
didn't have to talk to me anymore.
180
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.240
That's true. Friends, is a
therapist, and she she had to get
181
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:07.600
licensed because she was licensed in another
state, and they wouldn't even let her
182
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:13.679
consider doing therapy until she went through
the whole process again in Texas. Yeah,
183
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.120
the good news is I found a
really good lady on Twitter. What's
184
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.200
her name? I'm not sharing that
with you. It's it's it's it's my
185
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.720
Twitter therapist. You get your own, Okay, I'm good. I don't
186
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:33.879
I um. I looked outside social
media for therapy. Oh you know,
187
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.000
yours is in a Reddit forum.
No, don't be ridiculous, it's a
188
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:50.559
TikTok video. You're in Luke Free
House with Dan O'Malley and Alfie Cord.
189
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.960
We are joined here by our friend
and of course sponsor, Rodney Anderson,
190
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.840
whose phone number is nine to seven
two nine eighty five fifty two hundred.
191
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.960
You're going to need that right now, Rodney. Good afternoon. So my
192
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.919
question for you today involves all the
different loan programs you offer. I know
193
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.639
that you do a lot of military, you know, VA loans, but
194
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.720
I'm also wondering, and that's great. I'm also wondering what are some of
195
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.320
the other loan programs that you offer. Yeah, so let's talk about VA
196
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.279
loans real quick. There's no money
down all the way up to one and
197
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.039
a half million dollars, and a
lot of military veterans are out there looking
198
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.960
at homes right now. We offer
FHA loans. These are for people that
199
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.840
may have had some bumps and bruises
on their credit that are looking for a
200
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.679
fresh start, and it's a three
and a half percent down loan, and
201
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.159
like in the DFW Metroplex, it's
three and a half percent down, but
202
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.320
you can finance up to five hundred
and thirty one thousand dollars. Stand We
203
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.080
all mentional loans with as little as
three to five percent down up to seven
204
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.039
hundred and twenty six thousand, two
hundred dollars. For jumbo loans, those
205
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.759
are for people buying big homes that
are financing large amounts. We offer those
206
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.759
as well. And then we have
a unique product to us called purchase plus
207
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.879
improvement loans, where somebody's out buying
a house and they want to put in
208
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.279
something into the property. They may
want to put in an addition, they
209
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.080
want to put in a new kitchen, new bathroom. We offer those types
210
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.080
of loans too, where they can
do it as part of their purchase price.
211
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:29.000
And I love you that you offer
all those things because not only are
212
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:30.919
they great, but also because it's
important to let people know that they have
213
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.799
options when it comes to buying a
home, because a lot of us just
214
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.600
are in the dark thinking, well, if I don't have twenty percent down,
215
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.799
i'm sol And that's not the case. As you've just heard Rodney tell
216
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.440
you, there are a lot of
options at your disposal. But in order
217
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.399
to take advantage of them, we
need to call Rodney and his team right
218
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.960
now. So do that. Nine

need to use right now nine seven

229
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:47.720
treehouse. Sweet Dan, O'Malley and
Alfie cooy Alfie. I'm glad you finally
230
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.319
made it into the treehouse and now
you had kind of a rough road getting
231
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.960
getting in here. Yeah, traffick
was kind of asked getting home. Why
232
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.200
why why why was traffic so bad
other than the fact that that you were
233
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.759
on you know, six thirty five
because the rain because it rained there was
234
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:08.720
there was like rain drops. Yeah, three drops on the road, and
235
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.640
some things never change. It's too
much for some people. It's too many
236
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.599
drops. You gotta you gotta,
you know, can't. You gotta hit
237
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.720
the brakes because you don't want your
car getting rained on. So you stop
238
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.640
under an overpass and let the rain
just kind of you know, rain on
239
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:29.000
other people and if they if they
hit you, they rearend you. Well,
240
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.480
I mean that's the rain. Well, you blame it on the rain
241
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.319
and be like, oh, it's
the rain. Well. And and that
242
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.160
new law it says you can only
go twenty miles an hour when there's moisture
243
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.920
coming from the sky. Really,
that's a new law. Now I've missed
244
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.359
that. Being so far away,
you didn't know that, Yeah, I
245
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.359
didn't. I missed that part of
the legislature. I thought they were worried
246
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:53.519
about CRT. Dude, there was
a bunch of hail that came through like
247
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.519
a week or two ago, and
I think it was there were a couple
248
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:03.000
of local police departments that had to
wheat, don't stop under overpasses. All
249
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.720
you're going to do is cause a
wreck. Like, I understand, you're
250
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.920
getting hailed on and it sucks,
but stopping under an overpass is even stupider.
251
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.680
They don't care. People do not
care. They see it as it's
252
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:21.799
either dangerous or I don't want my
car looking looking like the back of somebody's
253
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.640
legs. So what they do.
They don't give a damn about anyone behind
254
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.720
them or what's coming on with oncoming
traffic. They're just selfish and they're concerned
255
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.839
about themselves. Man. I get
it. Driving in severe weather sucks.
256
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.839
There have been times where I've been
driving in such severe weather where the wind
257
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.720
is just kicking so hard that I'm
like, you know what, I've I've
258
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.799
got to get out of this,
and I'll pull over and I'll find like
259
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.279
a gas station or something like that. But I'm not stopping on the highway.
260
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.519
I'm not stopping in them, just
the middle of the frigging road.
261
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.640
Yeah, I think unfortunately, despite
some valiant efforts on the part of you
262
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:59.200
know, state and federal government,
even local on occasion, you cannot legislate
263
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.000
against stupidity or trying to force people
to be considerate. That's just where you
264
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:11.799
know, natural human just bless is
going to win every single time. Yeah.
265
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.079
I never understood wanting to, you
know, be on the side of
266
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.680
the road during a thunderstorm where everyone's
already freaked out and driving like crap,
267
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.400
and you're like, oh, well, yeah, let me just stop here
268
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.680
so you have a stationary target instead
of something moving. No, you're right,
269
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.079
it's it's like the equivalent of stopping
in the middle of the thunderdome and
270
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:32.680
stepping outside the car for a stroll
in the middle of it. Like,
271
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:38.079
no, that's terrible. Idea.
I will say there was a what was
272
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.480
it like a month month and a
half ago? Did I already tell you
273
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:47.079
guys this about the catastrophic winds alert
that we got? No, try,
274
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:52.279
do you remember that? Did you
get that? I vaguely remember a night
275
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.440
that. Yeah, I don't.
I don't think my alert came across as
276
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:59.839
catastrophic. I think it was like
extreme or something. But yes, I
277
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.160
got like friends, like from Fox
four, they just sent you an alert
278
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:10.880
emoji with the cloud going cloud giving
you a big middle finger, thanks Andrews.
279
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.000
It was it was like a standard
like you know, emergency alert thing
280
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.480
that comes through on your phone and
it said, you know, warning catastrophic
281
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.319
winds. Seek shelter immediately, man, I went to the galleria. I
282
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:29.160
was just like out for protection or
to just shop. I was already out.
283
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:34.640
I was already like out on the
town or whatever, and like,
284
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:37.079
I'm, you know, not gonna
make it back home. And the closest
285
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:45.240
thing I could think of with shelter
is h the galleria. They got nice
286
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.960
concrete garages, they got good sturdy
buildings and stuff like that. I mean,
287
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.279
yeah, sure that there's that one
section that's you know, a glass
288
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:56.839
roof. But that's what I was
curious about. Yeah, that that held
289
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.880
up, that held up, rather
than that other then, other than that
290
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:07.440
being the location of Twister two,
what was that actually a thing? Oh?
291
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.000
I don't know. Okay, I
saw something yet that it might be
292
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.480
in the works, but I don't
know if it was still happening since Bill
293
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.799
Pullman died, or there's somehow going
to kill him in the beginning. No,
294
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:22.480
they they're making a Twister two,
which I just like the way did
295
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.319
I say Pullman is a Paxton?
I always get those two guys names mixed
296
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.480
up. Yeah, Paton, Yeah
yeah. Pullmans still alive. Yes,
297
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:37.279
But at the at the Galleria when
I was leaving, Okay, during the
298
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.799
storm, they shut like all the
storm shutters, like the safety shutters and
299
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.640
things like that, you know,
keep thieves out or whatever when the mall's
300
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:52.279
closed, and they didn't open him
a back up until like the the severe
301
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.480
thunderstorm warning or whatever had passed.
And one of the exits on the galleria
302
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:02.599
that I left nearby, there were
some dudes like doing construction there. I
303
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:04.200
was like, this is an odd
ass time to be doing construction. And
304
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.960
I go and I look, the
wind had ripped one of the doors off
305
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.720
the hinges, just straight up rip
the door off. It had kicked the
306
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:17.759
door open and then slammed it so
hard that it popped off the hinges.
307
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:22.920
And these guys were putting up plywood. So, Alfie, are your malwalking
308
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.319
white New Balance shoes or did those
work well on wet floors? Oh?
309
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.920
I should get some of those.
I have some of those. Those are
310
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:37.119
pretty stylish, too, old man
New Balance. Oh God, don't I
311
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.799
think you really should get some of
those malwaking old band shoes. Toast freaking
312
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.839
New Balance shoes are in style,
dude, Like dad shoes are one pent
313
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.599
in style and they've been in style
for a while. Yeah, but you're
314
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:52.839
but I think I think you've mentioned
this before, but only in the sense
315
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.640
that if you're young enough to wear
them, Ironically, I think the downside
316
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.480
is you're old enough now where if
you're wearing them, well, just think
317
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.640
you're lame. I'm a dad.
Yeah, I gotta work the tube socks
318
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.160
too. H it's the white New
Balance, the tube socks and the and
319
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.519
the sweater vest. The one to
blame for all that is Steve Jobs.
320
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:18.240
That was straight up his freaking outfit. Oh it was because he had the
321
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.640
black turtleneck jeans and the white New
Balances. Yep, that's it. Yeah,
322
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:23.680
But you know, when you're a
billionaire, you can kind of pull
323
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.559
it off. Well, I mean
anyone can pull it off. In fact,
324
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.640
honestly, most of the dudes that
I know that have like insane money,
325
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.079
they look schlubby like that. And
I assume part of it's like a
326
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:40.119
defense mechanism. I assume it's like
rich guy camouflage. The one billionaire that
327
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:45.119
we know, Dan, he just
dressed normal. You know, I'm not
328
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.119
talking about Cuban. Well, I
guess he does the same thing too.
329
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.799
But the other billionaire that we know, m he just dressed as absolutely plain
330
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.960
as possible. Because if you're running
around flashing you know, Gucci this and
331
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:02.119
Versachi that, people are gonna start
targeting you for cash. They're gonna be
332
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:03.319
hitting up. Hey can I borrow
twenty bucks? Can I buy your thirty
333
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.319
thousand dollars? Hey I've got a
small investment that I need you to look
334
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.640
into. That kind of thing.
They don't want that. Oh I know
335
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.559
is I saw that news report about
New Balance being back in style, and
336
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:18.400
well, I don't wear New Balance. They were like, yeah, you
337
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.160
know the shows or the shoes that
have like, you know, the thick
338
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:23.960
you know, heels at the end, you know, with extra cushion.
339
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:26.200
And I looked down at my feet
and I was like, well, damn,
340
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.160
yeah, because I think the new
Dad shoes are supposedly is it the
341
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:36.240
hookahs? Is that what those are
called? The really thick soled running shoes?
342
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.119
Yes, ah, you got some
of those train No, I'm a
343
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:44.799
big fan of h It's called on
running. Oh yeah, those are also
344
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:51.240
super freaking popular. Yeah, they're
super pretty and comfortable. Yeah on dash
345
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.759
running dot com. One of my
friends went and bought some of those the
346
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:57.640
other day. I don't know that
I like the soul because they look all
347
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:00.880
kind of weirdly segmented around the bottom. Are they super comfortable? Like really
348
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:07.160
really worth it? Though? They're
the most comfortable shoes and my normal you
349
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.400
know, you run a bar restaurant, you're on your feet hours on end,
350
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.799
and they're by far and away.
I mean, I think at this
351
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:18.160
point, I'm I found him about
two years ago, and I I think
352
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.279
I've bought seven pairs. Dan,
I'm hard on shoes, so I mean
353
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:30.119
three of them already toast but yeah, they're they're fantastic. So we've reached
354
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.319
the point in our lives where we're
sharing orthotics. There's nothing wrong with that,
355
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.559
nothing wrong with being comfortable, Yeah, planning about the weather and saying
356
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.759
my feet hurt. Dude, I
will say I think I was like in
357
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:48.599
my early twenties or whatever. My
older sister took me to Dick Sporting Goods
358
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:52.279
to buy me like some good ass
shoes. Because my older sister, she's
359
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.440
a physical therapist, and she'd look
at me walk because you're overpronating. We
360
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.279
need to get that fixed. So
she took me to Dick Sporting Goods to
361
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:06.599
buy some essentially orthotic shoes. And
overpronating, isn't that mean like you're like
362
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:14.039
duck walking? It means that your
arch has fallen, right, Okay.
363
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.799
And she took me to go get
some frigging, like I said, medicinal
364
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.720
shoes or some crap some la spirits. No, no, no, we
365
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.240
got some new balance and they were
expensive as hell, like yeah, because
366
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:30.559
most people that buy them need insurance
to help cover their cost. Man,
367
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.440
Like I'm used to like sixty seventy
dollars, eighty dollars, like pair of
368
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.240
Vans or something like that, which
is probably why I have fallen arches.
369
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:44.839
But these new Balance shoes that we
got, they were the Steve Jobs looking
370
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:51.480
gray and white arch support shoes.
They were I think like one fifty one
371
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:56.559
sixty or something like that. Yeah, that's mainly because Medicare covers so much
372
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:03.000
of the cost. They were most
effing comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I
373
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:04.319
were you mad about it a little
bit? I would have been asked.
374
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:07.519
I was so, My god,
I look lame, but I'm also just
375
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:12.079
really comfortable when I wore through them. I went back to Dick's Sporting Goods
376
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:17.480
and they didn't sell them there anymore, at least not that particular model like
377
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.480
I I had here. I was
thinking that that that the only the only
378
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.920
line in the sand Dix ever drew
was about a R fifteens. No,
379
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.839
no, no, they we do
not sell guns, at least not they're
380
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.160
really you're like cool looking ones.
And no more of those gray lame shoes.
381
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.319
The shoes they had, man,
they were they just weren't the same.
382
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:38.440
I try them on and I'm like, this didn't have the support I
383
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:45.720
need. I need, I need
to feel loved from my shoes are you
384
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.000
still on the lookout for for a
new old man shoes? No, I
385
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:56.119
uh no, No, it's even
worse. It's even worse. I don't
386
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:57.400
even want to say. You don't
want to say, oh, did you
387
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:00.759
find a cash on Craigslist along the
colonoscopy thing? Oh, it's even worse.
388
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:07.079
Um, my physical therapist, like
when I jacked up my name,
389
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.079
my physical therapist wrecked it. Excuse
me, you and your stupid coon hoscopy
390
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:18.000
talk. My physical therapist recommended that
I get insuls. So now I buy
391
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:26.240
like the hardcore, frigging, stiff
as hell running insoles from Amazon or like
392
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.319
you know, run On or whatever
running stores there are, and those help
393
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:32.559
out quite a bit. The nice
thing about that is I can put them
394
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:42.599
in any shoes. I'm just when
you buy them either story, do you
395
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.720
wear disguise so no one knows who
you are? Or do you just buy
396
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:49.039
them on lines? No? No, no, no, I'm wearing wearing
397
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:55.160
a scheme mask. This is not
a robbery. I just need to buy
398
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:59.880
some insuls. I have cash,
don't worry. I don't want any credit.
399
00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:04.000
CA are just so seated with this. You don't want a digital trail?
400
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:10.680
Yeah, exactly. I buy mine
online so I can go. I
401
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:14.839
didn't know. They just sent me
the but they're really comfortable. Well,
402
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.440
I've already got them. I better
just keep them in were them and order
403
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.440
some more pairs. The person stealing
my identity seems to really know what I
404
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:26.519
need. I'm just gonna go with
it. How did we get off on
405
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:32.079
this? Uh? Storms? Oh, mall walking? Yeah, yeah,
406
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.960
mall walking? Yeah, because they
were bad storms and you went for shelter
407
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.359
at the galleria, the one place
to one mall in North Texas. I
408
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.680
would probably avoid because the whole roof
is made a glass. It was great.
409
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.720
Well, you like everyone in there. We were just perfectly fine in
410
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.079
there. Lots of thunderstorms, lots
of wind, except for that one door.
411
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.200
That one door by Banana Republic got
ripped off. But I mean,
412
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.200
heck, I was walking by the
Antians on the top floor, right underneath
413
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.599
the grat the glass ceiling. It's
fine, perfectly safe. Does that help
414
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.119
with the Mallwalking Association's pace? Does
everyone go a little bit faster in the
415
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:08.759
face of danger? You bet your
asside. You're leaving all the old people
416
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.839
behind. The sucky thing about that
night, dude, is like some stores
417
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:17.119
started shutting down early, And I'm
like, why where are you gonna go?
418
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:22.119
There's storms outside? Why would you
shut down early when you close like
419
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.720
they were shutting down like a six
thirty seven or something like that, when
420
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.680
they actually close at eight or nine, what's the point of that. There's
421
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:36.119
hyperwind outside? Stay puts, you're
safe. Well, but they know all
422
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.440
the maltwalkers, you know, I'm
sure they take a brisk pace at about
423
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.839
three o'clock because they have to have
dinner at four thirty and then and then
424
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.799
they're also worried about and they're also
worried about the storms because then you know,
425
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.079
the mall's full of mallwalkers. They
may take advantage and start looting the
426
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:59.559
place. I'm trying to decide if
I would be ethical and that sort of
427
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:04.880
situation. And well, if you
have the opportunity to stock up on more
428
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.079
mall walking shoes or pretzels, Your
Honor, I don't know how these build
429
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:14.160
a Bear gift cards ended up.
By the way, if you look under
430
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:19.200
your gown, there's about four or
five Centabuoni gift cards in there, Your
431
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:23.079
Honor, I came with all these
Aldo shoes. Hey wait, I have
432
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:25.839
some alldoes. Do you want some
too? If there's a storm and I
433
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:31.680
gotta an opportunity to do a little
light looting. Yeah, I think light
434
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.960
looting keeps it as a misdemeanor.
Well, I mean, I was just
435
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:42.720
I was keeping it safe for the
authorities when when they came back to get
436
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.640
there. Oh I see, so
you you looted to keep looters from looting,
437
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:53.119
exactly, exactly, So it's crime
to prevent other crimes, yes,
438
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.319
which I think was the defense of
that one cop that got caught doing that
439
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:01.319
at a home depot. Yeah,
you're you're you're right up there with Batman.
440
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:09.480
He was. He was just protecting
the skill saws in his car.
441
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:14.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all
know what I'm talking about. Right.
442
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:16.680
Yeah. There was also wasn't there
supposedly an officer, and he may have
443
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:21.680
been cleared after the fact, but
there was during a storm he was protecting
444
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:27.960
all the alcohol at a liquor store
in his car. There's a joke there,
445
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.319
and I'm gonna leave it alone.
Yeah. Please don't. I gotta
446
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:35.599
bleep that, please do. I
got to bleep the last one you made
447
00:33:36.119 --> 00:34:00.359
that person that you're in Luke with
Dan O'Malley and Alfie Corner. For the
448
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:02.759
very first time, I would like
to welcome into the treehouse a brand new
449
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.840
friend and sponsor of the show,
Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing Texas dot Com.
450
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:12.079
Good afternoon, Jacqueline, good afternoon, and how are you guys today?
451
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.159
Doing very well? Thank you so. One of the many things that are
452
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:22.119
great about Brooks Plumbing is your value
and how that compares to the big guys.
453
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.599
Can you give me an example of
how you are actually able to help
454
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:28.480
one of your customers in the face
of you know, it's like, oh
455
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:30.320
my god, this is so much
money, but oh you came to the
456
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:32.679
rescue. So there's a couple different
ways that we come in helpful for people.
457
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:37.639
One of the big things is that
when it comes to the most expensive
458
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:39.840
jobs that you can incur in plumbing, especially in North Texas, you're talking
459
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:45.000
about leaks underneath the foundation. And
for us, we're so competitively priced because
460
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:49.280
we don't actually subcontract out the excavation
to other companies, and so it keeps
461
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:53.440
our overhead significantly lower than our largest
competitors, and people end up paying literally
462
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:58.480
thousands, tens of thousands of dollars
more to work with my competitors. But
463
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:00.159
one of the main things I like
to tell people is, don't get to
464
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:04.519
that point where you need them call
me first. So the other day I
465
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:07.280
was standing in my kitchen. It
was after hours, and my cell phone
466
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.880
rang, and then I answered the
phone and it was a really nice young
467
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:13.719
man and he said, hey,
I bought my house two days ago and
468
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.440
my wife just got out of the
shower and the whole house has flooded.
469
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:20.599
And I said, okay, fantastic, what's the address. I pulled up
470
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:22.719
the house. Take a look at
it. It's gorgeous and you can tell
471
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:25.119
that it was a flip property.
And I just asked him, I said,
472
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:28.679
did you buy this from a flipper? And he said yes, And
473
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:30.119
I said, prior to buying this
house, did you happen to have the
474
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.719
sewer examined by a plumber? And
he said no, we get out there.
475
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:37.079
Come to find out that this flipper
made all these adjustments to the plumbing,
476
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.559
renovated all the bathrooms in the kitchens, never pulled a single permit,
477
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:45.119
never got a passing inspection, and
the sewer system has multiple leaks. It's
478
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.679
rotten, and it was plumbed incorrectly. So we were able to come in
479
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:53.039
and help him with his dispute.
But the upside is is that if you're
480
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:55.679
ever going to look to buy a
house, I say, always call me
481
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:00.440
first. For a flat rate fee
one fifty. I can come look at
482
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.280
the sewer and give you peace of
mind that nothing's wrong with it, because
483
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:06.559
now this nice young man, his
wife and their newborn child are in this
484
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.760
massive lawsuit with the flipper that sold
them the house. Call me first,
485
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:12.360
don't even go through that headache.
That's what I always say. She's got
486
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.679
a great idea, So do what
the boss lady says. That is called
487
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.920
Brooks Plumbing. The phone number two
one four three six eight thirty eight thirty
488
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.320

517
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.320
Yeah. I'll be honest with you, Trey, I'm not sure if
518
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.239
I remembered you being a big Star
Trek guy. Yeah. I think it
519
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:37.559
was just part of I mean,
that was just in my wheelhouse growing up.
520
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:44.280
I mean I literally I saw every
episode of Next Generation. My mom
521
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.480
was a massive fan of Star Trek
The Next Generation. Wait, I should
522
00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:53.960
probably amend that my mom was a
huge, huge fan and extremely sexually attracted
523
00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:01.079
to Patrick Stewart so by association,
she watched that show religiously, and because
524
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:04.760
she watched it religiously, I watched
a lot of them. I would never
525
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.320
consider myself like a huge Trek fan, but I'm definitely not on the hate
526
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:13.239
side. But so I watched the
What's Up. She was a fan of
527
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:19.280
Patrick Stewart, Oh yeah, not
Jonathan Frank's commander Will Riker. She liked
528
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:22.159
that. She likes bald British men
apparently, which you know, came in
529
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:28.960
no surprise to my father, distinguished. No, it's if you were a
530
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:35.400
fan of the show, then the
third season of Picard is just it's wonderful.
531
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.960
It's it's a great show. But
if if you're a fan, it's
532
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:45.360
kind of like any TV show you
ever watched, and you know, went
533
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.280
on for years and then it came
to an end. This was like,
534
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:50.400
you know, because then they did
that, then they did a couple of
535
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:53.880
movies, and this was like bringing
they basically bring everyone back together, and
536
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:57.519
it just puts a nice little bow
tie and it's like, all right,
537
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:00.199
you know, that's clearly that's it. They're done. Yeah, so this
538
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:04.519
movie just kind of sucked too.
So well, I always had a hard
539
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.000
time buying into Patrick Stewart as an
action star, Like, for whatever reason,
540
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.800
William Shatner on the original series,
Yeah, I could see him punching
541
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:14.440
a green dude. But whenever they
did with Patrick Stewart, it just wasn't
542
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.559
as convincing to me. I don't
know why, but that was he wasn't
543
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:22.400
really more of the It wasn't you
know Jonathan Frakes number one, the number
544
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:29.360
two, that was he was the
muscle. Yeah, yeah, he did
545
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:34.360
more of the action stuff. And
remarkably, they all looked fairly good.
546
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:39.199
I mean, but it's for card
the first couple of seasons, like,
547
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:42.480
yeah, you have to have watched
the first one for the third one to
548
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.599
make sense. Second one kind of
stands alone. I would give the first
549
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:52.599
and second seasons a bee like it
takes a while, Like especially the first
550
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:54.880
couple of episodes of the season one, he just kind of have to get
551
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:59.559
through it before it starts rolling.
But uh, which is that? I
552
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.199
mean, I think that's the way
with most shows these days. But watch
553
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:07.199
it if you're a fan, because
the third season is it's it's wonderful.
554
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:13.360
It really you could not have asked
for a better a better finale for all
555
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:15.800
of it. Then that's what I've
That's what I've seen online in a number
556
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.480
of places. Is that that this
final season or whatever of Pcard is that
557
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.039
is supposedly some of the best that
they've done. I don't know. Yeah,
558
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:30.800
they gave everyone a a what's the
word promotion, like they make a
559
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:39.119
card admiral now cards admiral uh,
rub two finally becomes number one. Well
560
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:45.159
and then at the end, but
yeah and then uh yeah LaForge has had
561
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:51.840
us some engineering and uh and data
gets a heart. That was all.
562
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.920
Yeah, that that that was it. Really. Yes, I was making
563
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.719
a bad Wizard of Oz joke,
but they actually did that. Yeah,
564
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.079
they gave him emotion. Yeah,
that was a little generations I think.
565
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:10.840
Yeah, William sat where where William
Shatner and uh and Picard get stuck in
566
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:15.320
some sort of like alternate universe or
like alternate planet or some some weird thing.
567
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:20.079
It's like, yeah, that's what
it is, a time loop.
568
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:22.320
See, I've I've watched some of
these things and even at that time,
569
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:28.840
I'm like, oh, that's just
yeah, part of that is Groundhog Day
570
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:34.599
on on a foreign planet. They
really did kind of here. They asked
571
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.480
up a lot of stuff like,
uh, first contacts, fun first contact,
572
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:39.719
Like like I said, it's hard
to buy or like Dan said,
573
00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:47.000
it's hard to buy Patrick Stewart as
mister Mega muscles climbing around the engineering pipes
574
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:51.440
and stuff. Yeah, it was
really difficult for me to buy into Patrick
575
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.800
Stewart running and jumping. But there's
other parts of it they're awesome, like
576
00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:58.440
when Warf pulls out that knife and
goes assimilate this and he chops the borg's
577
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:00.119
arm off and all that stuff.
Stuff all right, right, that is
578
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:07.599
that is a pretty good catch phrase. But uh, the last movie Nemesis,
579
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:13.639
that was pretty bad. Well.
I think these are struggles that we
580
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:15.360
all have if there was a show
that you were a fan of and then
581
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:19.880
what's old is new again. They're
doing this with almost every successful show.
582
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:23.360
They're rebooting it in some way.
Like they're doing it with Frasier, they
583
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:27.400
did it with Will and Grace,
They're they've done it with Full House,
584
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:30.360
They've done it with seemingly every show
that was successful from our childhoods, and
585
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.239
they're they're making them do it all
again. Um. The thing I'm struggling
586
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.840
with the most right now was kind
of on the opposite end, which was
587
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:42.400
a show that started out really good
that seems to have jumped the Baby Yoda
588
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:47.800
and yeah, I'm talking about Mandalorian. This last season seems I thought you
589
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:53.760
were gonna say this particular episode of
this podcast, well that's coming. You
590
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:59.559
didn't you didn't like the third season
of Mandalorian. I'm still I'm still trudging
591
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.639
three. I'm sorry, but for
like flipping Baby Yoda, like I mean,
592
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.199
actual Baby Yoda when he flips,
seems kind of silly because I someone
593
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:12.320
pointed out online and I can't unsee
it that the flipping of Baby Yoda is
594
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:15.320
really them just throwing the doll around
on set, and i'd I'm sorry,
595
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:17.840
It's just looks silly to me.
So I haven't seen any of it.
596
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:25.800
I haven't seen any any of the
h nothing like my Disney Disney Plus subscription
597
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:30.280
lapsed because I don't care or they
didn't have a ton that was really interesting
598
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:37.079
me. And from what I've seen
online, I'm not really interested in watching
599
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:39.960
it, which kind of sucks because
that was kind of the pinnacle of Star
600
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:44.320
Wars stuff right now. It was
it was sort of the really good thing
601
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:49.440
since Rogue one, but now it's
kind of what happened. I saw Lizzo
602
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.400
was there and Jack Black for some
reason. Yeah, I see. I
603
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.360
haven't gotten to that episode yet.
I'm pretty sure that episode is next,
604
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:58.360
and I'm afraid of it. It
looked really stupid from what I saw.
605
00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:02.000
It looked right already been to me, it's been pretty stupid leading up to
606
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:06.559
the stupid episode, So I'm now
I'm really worried what happened? I mean,
607
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.960
did they change directors or something like
that or what. No, it's
608
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:14.599
still Favro and Feloni, but I
think maybe they lost their I don't know,
609
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:19.840
drive lost their edge. I don't
know. So I've so Alfhay,
610
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.400
you haven't seen any of The Mandalorian, like any of the three seasons.
611
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.039
No, I've seen the first two. But like when when Disney Plus when
612
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:29.519
the renewal came around this past November, I was like, am I good?
613
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:36.039
No, thanks? I liked season
three of The Mandalorian. I the
614
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:37.800
biggest question is the way they left
it is. You're like, well,
615
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:43.000
is that it? Or I think
they've confirmed Morse coming. No, they
616
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:45.800
have a Fabro has already come out
because that's basically his pet project, and
617
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:51.480
he's already said no seasons four has
already been written and there's still money to
618
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.360
be made. Well yeah, well, and then I guess one of the
619
00:45:54.400 --> 00:46:00.559
things I find kind of fascinating is, uh, I mean, Pedro Pascal
620
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:04.480
obviously had a wonderful first part of
this year between the Last of Us and
621
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:08.599
The Mandalorian, and yeah, evidently
there's problems with him coming back to do
622
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:13.199
season four of The Mandalorian. And
I'm like, it's like James L.
623
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:15.400
Jones doing Darth the Voice. You
don't see his face. It's like,
624
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:19.280
just have him voice the crap and
you have someone else just walk around in
625
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:23.760
the costumes. What's this problem with
coming back for just scheduling or just doesn't
626
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:27.760
want to do it anymore? Does
he see season three? Is being like
627
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:31.519
this is not what I signed up
for. Maybe I think he's just angling
628
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:37.880
for I mean, obviously his star
is pretty high right now, so I'm
629
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:43.440
sure he's just because I know he
signed a two season deal after the success
630
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:45.400
of season one, and I'm sure
now he's like, you know, like
631
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:51.159
an NFL quarterback going, you're not
paying me enough. He wants that Aaron
632
00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:55.239
Rodgers money, I will say,
and listen to my listen to my segue
633
00:46:55.320 --> 00:47:00.519
here. This is a transition right
out of a hall of fame. One
634
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:02.400
of the things I do like that
they're doing in Star Wars almost anything,
635
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:07.119
is they're still staying true to the
original films and turning trash cans into robots.
636
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:15.800
Oh, like the Gonk droid and
he stomps around exactly, And that's
637
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:17.440
the way a lot of the droids
are, like the ones that roll around,
638
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:22.320
or like the one you're talking about, Alfie, that was that's a
639
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.679
literal trash can that they just kind
of turned in to make it look like
640
00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:29.360
a robot exactly. So you remember, it was like a week or two
641
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:34.559
ago we talked about the robot dogs
being deployed by the NYPD. Yeah huh.
642
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:42.679
Well, and apparently New York is
expanding their robotics program from enforcement from
643
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:47.000
law enforcement now to trash collecting.
Oh for real, Oh dude, Other
644
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:52.760
cities have these, like, um
so they're part of the Santinentation Department,
645
00:47:52.360 --> 00:48:00.320
I think so. Researchers at Cornell
University recently deployed a pair of robotic trash
646
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:05.159
cans in New York to test how
people would respond to them. Video of
647
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:07.800
the trash cans, which were equipped
with three hundred and sixty degree cameras and
648
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:15.280
move on retrofitted hoverboards. Oh,
they move that, they move. I
649
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.360
was I was under the impression that
it was just a trash can and when
650
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:21.119
you put something in it, it
goes, thank you very much and then
651
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:23.320
like makes a chewing sound or something
like that, which they have. They
652
00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:30.360
absolutely have that. In your honors. There's some European towns that have trash
653
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:35.760
cans that have like basically trash compactors
built in and you put the stuff in
654
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:38.000
and it'll make like a funny noise. It'll make like a belotious thank you,
655
00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:42.679
like to this is a little reward
for throwing away your trash. You
656
00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:45.719
get to see a stupid little,
stupid, little chucky cheese style show.
657
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:52.840
You know. So basically everyone's stealing
from Sesame Street. Yeah exactly. It's
658
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:58.880
yeah, yeah, and Star Wars
all wrapped into one. But yeah,
659
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.159
So these these trash bots or you
know, robot trash bins, whatever you
660
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:07.400
want to call them. They roll
around on hoverboards and then they have the
661
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:08.920
cameras on them. They wanted to
see how people react to the to the
662
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:14.280
trash cans, and they'll kind of
follow people around so while on one hand
663
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:17.920
people responded to them pretty well,
there were some of the UH people that
664
00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.480
had interactions with these robotic trash cans
that were apparently a little creeped out.
665
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:28.079
Um, but we made sure.
And it's like, Okay, it's important
666
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.440
if I'm gonna bring something up on
the show that you know, we thoroughly
667
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:34.599
vet it. It needs to be
researched entirely. And it's like someone says,
668
00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:36.840
a robots creeping me out, I
need to find examples of it.
669
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:42.440
So I found some. Hello,
I am robot trash bin. Talk dirty
670
00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:47.599
to me. That's a hilarious cash
phrase. Hey, not all, not
671
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:55.719
all robots are Oh god, are
you no? I'm just thinking it's like,
672
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:59.719
not all, not all, not
all trash kNs can be Dave Chappelle.
673
00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:06.679
Sometimes they just they just feel like
making a pun. There's plenty of
674
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:08.639
stinker puns that I could make right
now that I'm going to refrain from doing,
675
00:50:08.719 --> 00:50:15.440
dan because I'm better than that.
That's okay, I'm not Hello,
676
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:22.559
I am robo trash bin. How
about some ask for some trash. Trust
677
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:27.639
me, they get much harsher.
See. This is this is the This
678
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.239
is like the European robot, the
one that gives you a little reward.
679
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:36.000
I therefore, maybe the ones in
New York City took inspiration from the euro
680
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:43.079
trash Maybe. So, I guess
the trash cansdent what Trey U. The
681
00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:46.159
trash cans identify as day them,
so they're just hitting on anyone everyone,
682
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:52.119
and I think so Yeah, okay, Hello, I am robo trash bin.
683
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:59.360
Have you seen my girlfriend, robo
recycle bitch. She's always revived,
684
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:07.920
exs refining. I don't know what
that belief was. I like to point
685
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:14.519
out that Trey is choking on that
joke. Yeah, I see you're laughing
686
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:19.079
now that Trust me, it's gonna
get worse. Hello, I am robotrash
687
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:22.880
Ben. Don't laugh at me because
I'm a robot. One day I could
688
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:34.599
become robo president, just like the
one we have now. It communicates better
689
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.840
mhm, clear concise m But that's
also a problem. Hello, I am
690
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:45.079
robot trash Bin. Have I told
you how my parents met? It all
691
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:52.760
started with my mom being a c
dumpster. Jesus, you can see now
692
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:57.039
why some people might be creeped out
by a robot with that much of detail.
693
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:04.320
I don't know how to feel right
now. What do you mean embarrassed
694
00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:12.559
or what do you mean embarrassed?
Hello, I am robotrash Ben. Laugh
695
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:15.960
all you want, But I have
your careers in here. Yeah that's true.
696
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:24.559
They had again robot. Hello,

a dirty girl? Yeah? You
are? You're so dirty? I want
698
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:36.280
you inside me. It's robot trash
Ben just a perve. Is that what's
699
00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:37.960
going on? Look? People said
they were creeped out by it. I
700
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:40.199
mean okay, Well, I mean
yeah, because it moves and it's on
701
00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:45.719
a hoverboard. That's a thing.
Well that's asking people to crawl inside him.
702
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:51.440
Yeah. Hello, I am robotrash
Bin. Spit in my mouth,
703

00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:30.480
Hey, Trey, is this all
that money you gave to your ex girlfriend?
709
00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:38.559
God? You can be a real
prick sometimes, Dan, But it's
710
00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:43.280
not me, it's it's the trash
Okay, Yeah, no, it really
711
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.840
is the trash can, because how
many, how many of these we have
712
00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:50.280
left one? Yeah, because this
is really this is the trash can,
713
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.800
especially after you hear this one.
Hello, I am robo trash bin.
714
00:53:54.800 --> 00:54:04.320
Have you seen the ratings for ninety
seven point one? You know? I
715
00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:14.639
wasn't sure this bit was worth it, but good bath right okay, and
716
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:19.480
it was a great transition. They
follow all things Treehouse at Treehouse on Air,
717

the Treehouse is back.
1
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:32.039
Welcome into the Treehouse once again.
I'm Dan O'Malley, joined of course by
2
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:38.960
Alfie Cole. Say hello, Alfhie
Hello, And I'm wondering in what type
3
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.479
of mood our dear dear friend and
also a member at the Treehouse, Trey
4
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.920
Trendhold, is in. How are
you feeling today, Tree? I'm all
5
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.719
right, even even though with the
chore that you had to do earlier today.
6
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:58.840
Yeah, you got a change the
sheets, just like the one day
7
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.359
of the year that they we're supposed
to change your seats. No, I
8
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.239
do that twice here. I'm actually
pretty good. I do that about every
9
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.040
three to four weeks. Yeah,
that's that's too many. Come on,
10
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:19.000
what's happening in your bed that you
changed them that often. I have a
11
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.439
cleaning lady that comes by about once
every three to four weeks, and yusually
12
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:30.519
judgment or you're just letting her do
it. Um its just having her come
13
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.200
in makes me feel like I need
to, you know, not look gross.
14
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.519
And so I just changed my seats
right now. I get it.
15
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.640
You you stripped the bed, throw
them in the wash room and then let
16
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.519
her do the rest of it.
Yeah, pretty much, I get it.
17
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.239
So it wasn't your cleaning lady that
came today? What is it that
18
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.439
that you got to do today you
had the privilege of doing. Please share
19
00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:01.879
with Alphie the excitement that that that
you incurred today. I see your eyes
20
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.280
searching your brain, like I didn't
do anything fun today? What did you
21
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.439
do before the show? Trey?
Uh? What are you talking about?
22
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.439
Why are you growing Trey so hard? Dan? I got Well, I
23
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.680
think I think I've actually screwed up. I think I realized that I thought
24
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.120
today was one day, and I
think what I'm asking Trey about actually happens
25
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:30.360
tomorrow. Oh oh, there's something
brooding tomorrow. Are you to take my
26
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.960
mom to the doctor? Yeah,
that's it? No, Yeah, those
27
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:46.520
are fun days. Is she pregnant? Oh god, no, are you
28
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.479
gonna do that? What I mean? I don't know exactly how old she
29
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.919
is. You know, people are
having babies, you know, much later
30
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.639
in life. She's seventy eight,
so I think we're No. It's it's,
31
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:05.000
you know, one of those things
that if you're lucky enough and I
32
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.159
use that term loosely to still have
your parents and live close to them,
33
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.520
you'll end up taking them to a
lot of doctor's appointments as they get older.
34
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.840
And this is exactly the reason why
I feel like, if you're going
35
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:22.439
to have kids, you need to
have at least two, because then that
36
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.039
way one ends up being stuck with
the parents and the other one gets to
37
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.719
go live a life of enjoyment.
There are very few times in my life
38
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:37.680
where I have wished for a sibling, but and taking care of my mother,
39
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.439
man, it would be nice to
have someone to go just take this
40
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.520
for one day, give me a
break. Try you only child? Yes?
41
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.080
Have you ever been accused of having
only child syndrome? Uh? Yeah?
42
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.639
What does that entail? Exactly?
Because I've heard of it, and
43
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.680
I'll like yell at at friends that
are only only children just to yeah,
44
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.599
I'm curious. I've heard of only
child syndrome home. But I don't know.
45
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.599
I'll scream it at somebody just to
make them, you know, just
46
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.479
to have something over them. But
I have no freaking clue what it is.
47
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.639
One of my friends does something dumb, only child syndrome, or if
48
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.639
they're doing something I don't agree with, only child syndrome, you know,
49
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.160
I think that's one of those things. A lot of it is. You
50
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.439
know, you're used to just not
having to share, not having to do
51
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:30.920
anything, just so you're selfish,
self centered. Um, you know,
52
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.560
I think it's worse in kids,
because you know, I it's like,
53
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:41.120
I look back at my childhood and
I was, Yeah, between that and
54
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.000
drinking is horribly immature. And a
lot of that is being an only child
55
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:53.519
and you don't have any any example
of what you're really supposed to do.
56
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.639
I guess so, well, isn't
that the same problem for like the lead
57
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:03.120
kid. It's just the lead kid
then to deal with each subsequent child being
58
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:09.000
treated better than they were, well
there, And I think lies the difference
59
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:14.639
because if you're the oldest child,
then you know, you have to you
60
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.560
have to come to have to come
to grips with the fact that you're no
61
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.360
longer the favorite and that life is
going to be challenging for you. And
62
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.759
I think that prepares you, you
know, for the future ahead, whereas
63
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.160
if you're the only child like Trey, then it could go. It could
64
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.360
really it's sort of fifty fifty.
You could get someone, you could get
65
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.240
parents who really prepare you for the
future and are hard on you, or
66
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:42.199
you're just spoiled because you're the only
kid they had. And the friends I
67
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.079
The kids that really get screwed are
the middle kids. If you have more
68
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.319
than two, because firstborn's firstborn,
they're going to get some and then the
69
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.319
last one is the baby, and
then the ones in the middle they just
70
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:58.360
kind of get lost in the shovel. But this is why I think it's
71
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.480
so important that that that again,
and if you're gonna have kids, you
72
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.600
need to have more than one that
way. And I think this happens quite
73
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.120
a lot. Um. It's happened
in my family, and I'm not sure
74
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.839
exactly alpha you tell me if this
has happened in yours. So in my
75
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.920
family, it's my sister who takes
care of my mom. Luckily, she
76
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.959
doesn't need a whole lot of taken
care of because she's she's pretty dark and
77
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.759
self sufficient. The good news is
she's had enough surgeries on major joints now
78
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.759
that she's you know, almost wolverine, so she's getting around pretty good.
79
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:35.319
Whereas me, I'm off doing my
own thing because my sister has basically shouldered
80
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.480
the mama responsibility. Yeah, I
don't know, you've got you've got multiple
81
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.480
siblings. I do have multiple siblings, And are you the one that's entrusted
82
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.120
with taking care of Mama, or
is one of the other siblings is stepping
83
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:55.959
up. No, we've all we've
all shouldered responsibility from time to time.
84
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.920
Really, oh yeah, equally.
Yeah, yeah, that's what That's what
85
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.120
good children do, like me and
try. It's not like you, horrible
86
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:09.360
Dan. Now, I've kind of
done the thing that I had another friend
87
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:14.360
of mine do. So he doesn't
live near home like me, and his
88
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.680
sister helps take care of his parents, but he'll occasionally help them out financially,
89
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.519
which I've also done for my mom. So that's kind of it's a
90
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.399
different cross to bear, but you
know, it's the situation has a tendency
91
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.560
to work itself out. But I
give you credit, Alfhie having a family
92
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.920
that if all the siblings want to
equally share the responsibility, I guess good
93
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.040
on you. Is that what you
tell your therapist? He said, well,
94
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.680
well, you know, I just
live so far away, and but
95
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.399
I help out financially. I send, I send um, I send coupons
96
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.920
their way. Well, go ahead, Tray, don't don't let Alphie guilt
97
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.279
you into that. You're in a
wonderful situation. Enjoy it, embrace it,
98
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.759
absolutely love it. Trey dogpile.
You can guilt him jealous. I
99
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.319
can't see albe alb You're you're obviously
your family and your siblings. Y'all are
100
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.000
kind of the unicorn because I can
tell you this and this is you know,
101
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:16.040
I'm just being older and parents are
older. Most people you know that
102
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.639
have siblings, there's always one that
gets stuck with doing the majority of work.
103
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.439
I don't have a choice. It's
either me or you know, locker
104
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.199
in a closet. Yeah, to
tell her to wheel or ass over to
105
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.639
the store. I've seen people doing
that on the streets all the time.
106
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.240
It's like they got the they're in
the wheelchair and they they pull up the
107
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.519
little foot pedals that that you rest
your feet on, and then they just
108
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.799
use their little feet to walk down
the street. And I'm always wondering,
109
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.399
It's like, Okay, where are
you going? Do you know where you're
110
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.360
going? It's either CVS or maybe
you're trying to roll to the doctor or
111
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.960
something. No. I've I've asked
one of those people one time where they're
112
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.759
going and she said, well,
my son, Dan O'Malley won't take me
113
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:03.080
to the Kroger to just just to
get you know cereal oatmeal, it's called
114
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.639
mom. They have technology now to
bring the groceries to you. You don't
115
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.519
need me. Oh have you have
you ever tried to eat? Have you
116
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.000
ever tried to talk your parents through
using an app? No? And this
117
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.360
is the great thing about having my
sister be the responsible one for you know,
118
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.159
everything in that house for my mom. That's her problem. She's the
119
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.120
one that's got to explain grubhub and
door dash to mama. Yeah, it's
120
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:35.720
it's that is when I moved my
my mom's husband died tragically August of twenty
121
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.240
twenty, and I had to move
her back to Dallas. And when I
122
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.639
did, and I it's like,
Okay, I'm gonna set you up on
123
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.320
all these different apps. So really, anything you want you can get.
124
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.559
It's it's it's it's literally at your
fingertips. Yes, yes, I mean
125
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.159
and this is a woman who has
an iPhone and iPad, a computer,
126
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.639
everything, And I mean I'm uber
each wait oh wait, is she an
127
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:05.519
old lady or is she a Toddler's
get the same goal. It's the line
128
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.360
between those two are very very very
thin. I mean, it is it's
129
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.399
a joke. You hear it.
You know, the older you get,
130
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.000
you know, at a certain point, you turned back into a child a
131
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.200
man. That's it is so true, because but sometimes I just want mom
132
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:30.720
to be quiet at Applebee's. Oh
god, um, I mean so I
133
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:37.120
set her up Drubbub, Uber Eats, Kroger, Walmart, Chewy, pet
134
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:45.519
Smart, Charity, had Amazon.
And you know how many times she's used
135
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.120
anything except Walmart? How many?
None? Well? I think I know
136
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.360
why it is because she there's the
biggest app that's on her phone or iPad.
137
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.000
It's the one that simply says Trey
that's yes. I finally figured out
138
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.159
about a month ago. I forgot
what was going on. But it was
139
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:09.039
just because she gave me this callie, I don't have anything to eat them,
140
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:15.000
I'm gonna starve, Mike. I
just order something. You can do
141
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.000
it, and you know, and
she'sa I need you to do it.
142
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.559
Nope, I'm not doing it.
And amazingly, you know, push came
143
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.759
to shove hunger. Being a great
motivator, she ended up having to do
144
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.039
it. Now Ever, since then, I can't get her to replicate it
145
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.600
because then she's like, oh,
I just don't remember what I did.
146
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.600
Can you order it for me?
Sure, man, you are such a
147
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.879
pushover. That's yeah's abuse your parents
like Dan once you too. Come on,
148
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.399
all the cool kids like Dan are
abusing their parents. It's not all
149
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.639
right. If it was abuse,
turnabouts fair play. Second of all,
150
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.639
it's not abuse. It's tough love, which I got a lot of growing
151
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.840
up. It was hey, you
go figured out. Well, guess what
152
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.279
now it's your turn to figure it
out. Yeah, I wish I could
153
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.159
due to my mother, what my
you know what she did to me?
154
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.720
And yeah, that's one of the
things I could. Yeah, all the
155
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.600
time is when she's like, you
don't call, you don't do anything.
156
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.720
You remember, you're the one who
told me to entertain myself and I learned
157
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.159
how to. That means I don't
need you. That's why I don't call.
158
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.159
Congratulations, your parenting worked. That's
good. That's really good. You
159
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.759
take the things that she instilled in
you and you're throw them back in her
160
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.039
face. This is your fault.
I'm this way because of you. Either
161
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.720
one of you guys still got doctor
Thornton's phone number. I believe I do.
162
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:39.039
You should share it with everyone,
not not listeners, but amongst yourselves.
163
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.879
Why you think we need therapy?
Because of our parents. I mean,
164
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.399
we do, but it just feels
weird to hear somebody else say it.
165
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:58.879
I think former bosses might require more
therapy than parents. That almost seems
166
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.879
like it goes without saying, Yeah, have you guys talked to a therapist
167
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.799
about this a little bit? And
well, it turns out we had a
168
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.919
lot of others to get through before
I could get to my messed up parental
169
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:18.480
situation. M hmm, it's a
murky waters. Do you have any other
170
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.759
therapy sessions scheduled for the future?
Me right now? No, I need
171
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.879
I need to actually find a new
therapist. Thornton can't do it here or
172
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.720
you're your olds you're old therapist.
Thornton's actually have a bad, bad choice
173
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.080
for us. Not for other people, he's a great therapist, but for
174
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:39.480
us he's a horrible, horrible choice
because he can't be objective. But yeah,
175
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.039
you can't call your old therapists and
do like, you know, zoom
176
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.440
sessions or whatever. Now I wish, I mean, I apparently she's limited.
177
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.559
Her license is limited to the state
of Texas, So if I'm not
178
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.919
in Texas, then then she can't
therapy me. Or that was just the
179
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.159
excuse, she used, so she
didn't have to talk to me anymore.
180
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.240
That's true. Friends, is a
therapist, and she she had to get
181
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:07.600
licensed because she was licensed in another
state, and they wouldn't even let her
182
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:13.679
consider doing therapy until she went through
the whole process again in Texas. Yeah,
183
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.120
the good news is I found a
really good lady on Twitter. What's
184
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.200
her name? I'm not sharing that
with you. It's it's it's it's my
185
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.720
Twitter therapist. You get your own, Okay, I'm good. I don't
186
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:33.879
I um. I looked outside social
media for therapy. Oh you know,
187
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.000
yours is in a Reddit forum.
No, don't be ridiculous, it's a
188
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:50.559
TikTok video. You're in Luke Free
House with Dan O'Malley and Alfie Cord.
189
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.960
We are joined here by our friend
and of course sponsor, Rodney Anderson,
190
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.840
whose phone number is nine to seven
two nine eighty five fifty two hundred.
191
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.960
You're going to need that right now, Rodney. Good afternoon. So my
192
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.919
question for you today involves all the
different loan programs you offer. I know
193
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.639
that you do a lot of military, you know, VA loans, but
194
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.720
I'm also wondering, and that's great. I'm also wondering what are some of
195
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.320
the other loan programs that you offer. Yeah, so let's talk about VA
196
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.279
loans real quick. There's no money
down all the way up to one and
197
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.039
a half million dollars, and a
lot of military veterans are out there looking
198
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.960
at homes right now. We offer
FHA loans. These are for people that
199
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.840
may have had some bumps and bruises
on their credit that are looking for a
200
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.679
fresh start, and it's a three
and a half percent down loan, and
201
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.159
like in the DFW Metroplex, it's
three and a half percent down, but
202
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.320
you can finance up to five hundred
and thirty one thousand dollars. Stand We
203
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.080
all mentional loans with as little as
three to five percent down up to seven
204
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.039
hundred and twenty six thousand, two
hundred dollars. For jumbo loans, those
205
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.759
are for people buying big homes that
are financing large amounts. We offer those
206
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.759
as well. And then we have
a unique product to us called purchase plus
207
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.879
improvement loans, where somebody's out buying
a house and they want to put in
208
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.279
something into the property. They may
want to put in an addition, they
209
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.080
want to put in a new kitchen, new bathroom. We offer those types
210
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.080
of loans too, where they can
do it as part of their purchase price.
211
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:29.000
And I love you that you offer
all those things because not only are
212
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:30.919
they great, but also because it's
important to let people know that they have
213
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.799
options when it comes to buying a
home, because a lot of us just
214
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.600
are in the dark thinking, well, if I don't have twenty percent down,
215
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.799
i'm sol And that's not the case. As you've just heard Rodney tell
216
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.440
you, there are a lot of
options at your disposal. But in order
217
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.399
to take advantage of them, we
need to call Rodney and his team right
218
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.960
now. So do that. Nine

229
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:47.720
treehouse. Sweet Dan, O'Malley and
Alfie cooy Alfie. I'm glad you finally
230
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.319
made it into the treehouse and now
you had kind of a rough road getting
231
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.960
getting in here. Yeah, traffick
was kind of asked getting home. Why
232
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.200
why why why was traffic so bad
other than the fact that that you were
233
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.759
on you know, six thirty five
because the rain because it rained there was
234
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:08.720
there was like rain drops. Yeah, three drops on the road, and
235
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.640
some things never change. It's too
much for some people. It's too many
236
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.599
drops. You gotta you gotta,
you know, can't. You gotta hit
237
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.720
the brakes because you don't want your
car getting rained on. So you stop
238
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.640
under an overpass and let the rain
just kind of you know, rain on
239
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:29.000
other people and if they if they
hit you, they rearend you. Well,
240
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.480
I mean that's the rain. Well, you blame it on the rain
241
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.319
and be like, oh, it's
the rain. Well. And and that
242
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.160
new law it says you can only
go twenty miles an hour when there's moisture
243
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.920
coming from the sky. Really,
that's a new law. Now I've missed
244
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.359
that. Being so far away,
you didn't know that, Yeah, I
245
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.359
didn't. I missed that part of
the legislature. I thought they were worried
246
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:53.519
about CRT. Dude, there was
a bunch of hail that came through like
247
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.519
a week or two ago, and
I think it was there were a couple
248
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:03.000
of local police departments that had to
wheat, don't stop under overpasses. All
249
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.720
you're going to do is cause a
wreck. Like, I understand, you're
250
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.920
getting hailed on and it sucks,
but stopping under an overpass is even stupider.
251
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.680
They don't care. People do not
care. They see it as it's
252
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:21.799
either dangerous or I don't want my
car looking looking like the back of somebody's
253
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.640
legs. So what they do.
They don't give a damn about anyone behind
254
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.720
them or what's coming on with oncoming
traffic. They're just selfish and they're concerned
255
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.839
about themselves. Man. I get
it. Driving in severe weather sucks.
256
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.839
There have been times where I've been
driving in such severe weather where the wind
257
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.720
is just kicking so hard that I'm
like, you know what, I've I've
258
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.799
got to get out of this,
and I'll pull over and I'll find like
259
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.279
a gas station or something like that. But I'm not stopping on the highway.
260
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.519
I'm not stopping in them, just
the middle of the frigging road.
261
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.640
Yeah, I think unfortunately, despite
some valiant efforts on the part of you
262
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:59.200
know, state and federal government,
even local on occasion, you cannot legislate
263
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.000
against stupidity or trying to force people
to be considerate. That's just where you
264
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:11.799
know, natural human just bless is
going to win every single time. Yeah.
265
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.079
I never understood wanting to, you
know, be on the side of
266
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.680
the road during a thunderstorm where everyone's
already freaked out and driving like crap,
267
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.400
and you're like, oh, well, yeah, let me just stop here
268
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.680
so you have a stationary target instead
of something moving. No, you're right,
269
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.079
it's it's like the equivalent of stopping
in the middle of the thunderdome and
270
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:32.680
stepping outside the car for a stroll
in the middle of it. Like,
271
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:38.079
no, that's terrible. Idea.
I will say there was a what was
272
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.480
it like a month month and a
half ago? Did I already tell you
273
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:47.079
guys this about the catastrophic winds alert
that we got? No, try,
274
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:52.279
do you remember that? Did you
get that? I vaguely remember a night
275
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.440
that. Yeah, I don't.
I don't think my alert came across as
276
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:59.839
catastrophic. I think it was like
extreme or something. But yes, I
277
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.160
got like friends, like from Fox
four, they just sent you an alert
278
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:10.880
emoji with the cloud going cloud giving
you a big middle finger, thanks Andrews.
279
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.000
It was it was like a standard
like you know, emergency alert thing
280
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.480
that comes through on your phone and
it said, you know, warning catastrophic
281
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.319
winds. Seek shelter immediately, man, I went to the galleria. I
282
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:29.160
was just like out for protection or
to just shop. I was already out.
283
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:34.640
I was already like out on the
town or whatever, and like,
284
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:37.079
I'm, you know, not gonna
make it back home. And the closest
285
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:45.240
thing I could think of with shelter
is h the galleria. They got nice
286
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.960
concrete garages, they got good sturdy
buildings and stuff like that. I mean,
287
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.279
yeah, sure that there's that one
section that's you know, a glass
288
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:56.839
roof. But that's what I was
curious about. Yeah, that that held
289
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.880
up, that held up, rather
than that other then, other than that
290
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:07.440
being the location of Twister two,
what was that actually a thing? Oh?
291
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.000
I don't know. Okay, I
saw something yet that it might be
292
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.480
in the works, but I don't
know if it was still happening since Bill
293
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.799
Pullman died, or there's somehow going
to kill him in the beginning. No,
294
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:22.480
they they're making a Twister two,
which I just like the way did
295
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.319
I say Pullman is a Paxton?
I always get those two guys names mixed
296
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.480
up. Yeah, Paton, Yeah
yeah. Pullmans still alive. Yes,
297
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:37.279
But at the at the Galleria when
I was leaving, Okay, during the
298
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.799
storm, they shut like all the
storm shutters, like the safety shutters and
299
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.640
things like that, you know,
keep thieves out or whatever when the mall's
300
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:52.279
closed, and they didn't open him
a back up until like the the severe
301
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.480
thunderstorm warning or whatever had passed.
And one of the exits on the galleria
302
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:02.599
that I left nearby, there were
some dudes like doing construction there. I
303
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:04.200
was like, this is an odd
ass time to be doing construction. And
304
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.960
I go and I look, the
wind had ripped one of the doors off
305
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.720
the hinges, just straight up rip
the door off. It had kicked the
306
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:17.759
door open and then slammed it so
hard that it popped off the hinges.
307
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:22.920
And these guys were putting up plywood. So, Alfie, are your malwalking
308
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.319
white New Balance shoes or did those
work well on wet floors? Oh?
309
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.920
I should get some of those.
I have some of those. Those are
310
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:37.119
pretty stylish, too, old man
New Balance. Oh God, don't I
311
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.799
think you really should get some of
those malwaking old band shoes. Toast freaking
312
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.839
New Balance shoes are in style,
dude, Like dad shoes are one pent
313
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.599
in style and they've been in style
for a while. Yeah, but you're
314
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:52.839
but I think I think you've mentioned
this before, but only in the sense
315
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.640
that if you're young enough to wear
them, Ironically, I think the downside
316
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.480
is you're old enough now where if
you're wearing them, well, just think
317
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.640
you're lame. I'm a dad.
Yeah, I gotta work the tube socks
318
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.160
too. H it's the white New
Balance, the tube socks and the and
319
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.519
the sweater vest. The one to
blame for all that is Steve Jobs.
320
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:18.240
That was straight up his freaking outfit. Oh it was because he had the
321
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.640
black turtleneck jeans and the white New
Balances. Yep, that's it. Yeah,
322
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:23.680
But you know, when you're a
billionaire, you can kind of pull
323
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.559
it off. Well, I mean
anyone can pull it off. In fact,
324
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.640
honestly, most of the dudes that
I know that have like insane money,
325
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.079
they look schlubby like that. And
I assume part of it's like a
326
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:40.119
defense mechanism. I assume it's like
rich guy camouflage. The one billionaire that
327
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:45.119
we know, Dan, he just
dressed normal. You know, I'm not
328
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.119
talking about Cuban. Well, I
guess he does the same thing too.
329
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.799
But the other billionaire that we know, m he just dressed as absolutely plain
330
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.960
as possible. Because if you're running
around flashing you know, Gucci this and
331
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:02.119
Versachi that, people are gonna start
targeting you for cash. They're gonna be
332
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:03.319
hitting up. Hey can I borrow
twenty bucks? Can I buy your thirty
333
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.319
thousand dollars? Hey I've got a
small investment that I need you to look
334
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.640
into. That kind of thing.
They don't want that. Oh I know
335
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.559
is I saw that news report about
New Balance being back in style, and
336
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:18.400
well, I don't wear New Balance. They were like, yeah, you
337
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.160
know the shows or the shoes that
have like, you know, the thick
338
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:23.960
you know, heels at the end, you know, with extra cushion.
339
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:26.200
And I looked down at my feet
and I was like, well, damn,
340
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.160
yeah, because I think the new
Dad shoes are supposedly is it the
341
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:36.240
hookahs? Is that what those are
called? The really thick soled running shoes?
342
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.119
Yes, ah, you got some
of those train No, I'm a
343
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:44.799
big fan of h It's called on
running. Oh yeah, those are also
344
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:51.240
super freaking popular. Yeah, they're
super pretty and comfortable. Yeah on dash
345
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.759
running dot com. One of my
friends went and bought some of those the
346
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:57.640
other day. I don't know that
I like the soul because they look all
347
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:00.880
kind of weirdly segmented around the bottom. Are they super comfortable? Like really
348
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:07.160
really worth it? Though? They're
the most comfortable shoes and my normal you
349
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.400
know, you run a bar restaurant, you're on your feet hours on end,
350
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.799
and they're by far and away.
I mean, I think at this
351
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:18.160
point, I'm I found him about
two years ago, and I I think
352
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.279
I've bought seven pairs. Dan,
I'm hard on shoes, so I mean
353
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:30.119
three of them already toast but yeah, they're they're fantastic. So we've reached
354
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.319
the point in our lives where we're
sharing orthotics. There's nothing wrong with that,
355
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.559
nothing wrong with being comfortable, Yeah, planning about the weather and saying
356
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.759
my feet hurt. Dude, I
will say I think I was like in
357
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:48.599
my early twenties or whatever. My
older sister took me to Dick Sporting Goods
358
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:52.279
to buy me like some good ass
shoes. Because my older sister, she's
359
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.440
a physical therapist, and she'd look
at me walk because you're overpronating. We
360
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.279
need to get that fixed. So
she took me to Dick Sporting Goods to
361
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:06.599
buy some essentially orthotic shoes. And
overpronating, isn't that mean like you're like
362
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:14.039
duck walking? It means that your
arch has fallen, right, Okay.
363
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.799
And she took me to go get
some frigging, like I said, medicinal
364
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.720
shoes or some crap some la spirits. No, no, no, we
365
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.240
got some new balance and they were
expensive as hell, like yeah, because
366
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:30.559
most people that buy them need insurance
to help cover their cost. Man,
367
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.440
Like I'm used to like sixty seventy
dollars, eighty dollars, like pair of
368
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.240
Vans or something like that, which
is probably why I have fallen arches.
369
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:44.839
But these new Balance shoes that we
got, they were the Steve Jobs looking
370
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:51.480
gray and white arch support shoes.
They were I think like one fifty one
371
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:56.559
sixty or something like that. Yeah, that's mainly because Medicare covers so much
372
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:03.000
of the cost. They were most
effing comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I
373
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:04.319
were you mad about it a little
bit? I would have been asked.
374
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:07.519
I was so, My god,
I look lame, but I'm also just
375
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:12.079
really comfortable when I wore through them. I went back to Dick's Sporting Goods
376
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:17.480
and they didn't sell them there anymore, at least not that particular model like
377
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.480
I I had here. I was
thinking that that that the only the only
378
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.920
line in the sand Dix ever drew
was about a R fifteens. No,
379
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.839
no, no, they we do
not sell guns, at least not they're
380
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.160
really you're like cool looking ones.
And no more of those gray lame shoes.
381
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.319
The shoes they had, man,
they were they just weren't the same.
382
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:38.440
I try them on and I'm like, this didn't have the support I
383
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:45.720
need. I need, I need
to feel loved from my shoes are you
384
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.000
still on the lookout for for a
new old man shoes? No, I
385
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:56.119
uh no, No, it's even
worse. It's even worse. I don't
386
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:57.400
even want to say. You don't
want to say, oh, did you
387
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:00.759
find a cash on Craigslist along the
colonoscopy thing? Oh, it's even worse.
388
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:07.079
Um, my physical therapist, like
when I jacked up my name,
389
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.079
my physical therapist wrecked it. Excuse
me, you and your stupid coon hoscopy
390
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:18.000
talk. My physical therapist recommended that
I get insuls. So now I buy
391
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:26.240
like the hardcore, frigging, stiff
as hell running insoles from Amazon or like
392
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.319
you know, run On or whatever
running stores there are, and those help
393
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:32.559
out quite a bit. The nice
thing about that is I can put them
394
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:42.599
in any shoes. I'm just when
you buy them either story, do you
395
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.720
wear disguise so no one knows who
you are? Or do you just buy
396
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:49.039
them on lines? No? No, no, no, I'm wearing wearing
397
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:55.160
a scheme mask. This is not
a robbery. I just need to buy
398
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:59.880
some insuls. I have cash,
don't worry. I don't want any credit.
399
00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:04.000
CA are just so seated with this. You don't want a digital trail?
400
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:10.680
Yeah, exactly. I buy mine
online so I can go. I
401
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:14.839
didn't know. They just sent me
the but they're really comfortable. Well,
402
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.440
I've already got them. I better
just keep them in were them and order
403
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.440
some more pairs. The person stealing
my identity seems to really know what I
404
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:26.519
need. I'm just gonna go with
it. How did we get off on
405
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:32.079
this? Uh? Storms? Oh, mall walking? Yeah, yeah,
406
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.960
mall walking? Yeah, because they
were bad storms and you went for shelter
407
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.359
at the galleria, the one place
to one mall in North Texas. I
408
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.680
would probably avoid because the whole roof
is made a glass. It was great.
409
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.720
Well, you like everyone in there. We were just perfectly fine in
410
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.079
there. Lots of thunderstorms, lots
of wind, except for that one door.
411
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.200
That one door by Banana Republic got
ripped off. But I mean,
412
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.200
heck, I was walking by the
Antians on the top floor, right underneath
413
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.599
the grat the glass ceiling. It's
fine, perfectly safe. Does that help
414
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.119
with the Mallwalking Association's pace? Does
everyone go a little bit faster in the
415
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:08.759
face of danger? You bet your
asside. You're leaving all the old people
416
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.839
behind. The sucky thing about that
night, dude, is like some stores
417
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:17.119
started shutting down early, And I'm
like, why where are you gonna go?
418
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:22.119
There's storms outside? Why would you
shut down early when you close like
419
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.720
they were shutting down like a six
thirty seven or something like that, when
420
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.680
they actually close at eight or nine, what's the point of that. There's
421
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:36.119
hyperwind outside? Stay puts, you're
safe. Well, but they know all
422
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.440
the maltwalkers, you know, I'm
sure they take a brisk pace at about
423
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.839
three o'clock because they have to have
dinner at four thirty and then and then
424
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.799
they're also worried about and they're also
worried about the storms because then you know,
425
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.079
the mall's full of mallwalkers. They
may take advantage and start looting the
426
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:59.559
place. I'm trying to decide if
I would be ethical and that sort of
427
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:04.880
situation. And well, if you
have the opportunity to stock up on more
428
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.079
mall walking shoes or pretzels, Your
Honor, I don't know how these build
429
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:14.160
a Bear gift cards ended up.
By the way, if you look under
430
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:19.200
your gown, there's about four or
five Centabuoni gift cards in there, Your
431
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:23.079
Honor, I came with all these
Aldo shoes. Hey wait, I have
432
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:25.839
some alldoes. Do you want some
too? If there's a storm and I
433
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:31.680
gotta an opportunity to do a little
light looting. Yeah, I think light
434
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.960
looting keeps it as a misdemeanor.
Well, I mean, I was just
435
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:42.720
I was keeping it safe for the
authorities when when they came back to get
436
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.640
there. Oh I see, so
you you looted to keep looters from looting,
437
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:53.119
exactly, exactly, So it's crime
to prevent other crimes, yes,
438
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.319
which I think was the defense of
that one cop that got caught doing that
439
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:01.319
at a home depot. Yeah,
you're you're you're right up there with Batman.
440
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:09.480
He was. He was just protecting
the skill saws in his car.
441
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:14.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all
know what I'm talking about. Right.
442
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:16.680
Yeah. There was also wasn't there
supposedly an officer, and he may have
443
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:21.680
been cleared after the fact, but
there was during a storm he was protecting
444
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:27.960
all the alcohol at a liquor store
in his car. There's a joke there,
445
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.319
and I'm gonna leave it alone.
Yeah. Please don't. I gotta
446
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:35.599
bleep that, please do. I
got to bleep the last one you made
447
00:33:36.119 --> 00:34:00.359
that person that you're in Luke with
Dan O'Malley and Alfie Corner. For the
448
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:02.759
very first time, I would like
to welcome into the treehouse a brand new
449
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.840
friend and sponsor of the show,
Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing Texas dot Com.
450
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:12.079
Good afternoon, Jacqueline, good afternoon, and how are you guys today?
451
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.159
Doing very well? Thank you so. One of the many things that are
452
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:22.119
great about Brooks Plumbing is your value
and how that compares to the big guys.
453
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.599
Can you give me an example of
how you are actually able to help
454
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:28.480
one of your customers in the face
of you know, it's like, oh
455
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:30.320
my god, this is so much
money, but oh you came to the
456
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:32.679
rescue. So there's a couple different
ways that we come in helpful for people.
457
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:37.639
One of the big things is that
when it comes to the most expensive
458
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:39.840
jobs that you can incur in plumbing, especially in North Texas, you're talking
459
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:45.000
about leaks underneath the foundation. And
for us, we're so competitively priced because
460
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:49.280
we don't actually subcontract out the excavation
to other companies, and so it keeps
461
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:53.440
our overhead significantly lower than our largest
competitors, and people end up paying literally
462
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:58.480
thousands, tens of thousands of dollars
more to work with my competitors. But
463
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:00.159
one of the main things I like
to tell people is, don't get to
464
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:04.519
that point where you need them call
me first. So the other day I
465
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:07.280
was standing in my kitchen. It
was after hours, and my cell phone
466
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.880
rang, and then I answered the
phone and it was a really nice young
467
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:13.719
man and he said, hey,
I bought my house two days ago and
468
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.440
my wife just got out of the
shower and the whole house has flooded.
469
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:20.599
And I said, okay, fantastic, what's the address. I pulled up
470
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:22.719
the house. Take a look at
it. It's gorgeous and you can tell
471
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:25.119
that it was a flip property.
And I just asked him, I said,
472
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:28.679
did you buy this from a flipper? And he said yes, And
473
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:30.119
I said, prior to buying this
house, did you happen to have the
474
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.719
sewer examined by a plumber? And
he said no, we get out there.
475
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:37.079
Come to find out that this flipper
made all these adjustments to the plumbing,
476
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.559
renovated all the bathrooms in the kitchens, never pulled a single permit,
477
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:45.119
never got a passing inspection, and
the sewer system has multiple leaks. It's
478
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.679
rotten, and it was plumbed incorrectly. So we were able to come in
479
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:53.039
and help him with his dispute.
But the upside is is that if you're
480
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:55.679
ever going to look to buy a
house, I say, always call me
481
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:00.440
first. For a flat rate fee
one fifty. I can come look at
482
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.280
the sewer and give you peace of
mind that nothing's wrong with it, because
483
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:06.559
now this nice young man, his
wife and their newborn child are in this
484
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.760
massive lawsuit with the flipper that sold
them the house. Call me first,
485
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:12.360
don't even go through that headache.
That's what I always say. She's got
486
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.679
a great idea, So do what
the boss lady says. That is called

517
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.320
Yeah. I'll be honest with you, Trey, I'm not sure if
518
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.239
I remembered you being a big Star
Trek guy. Yeah. I think it
519
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:37.559
was just part of I mean,
that was just in my wheelhouse growing up.
520
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:44.280
I mean I literally I saw every
episode of Next Generation. My mom
521
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.480
was a massive fan of Star Trek
The Next Generation. Wait, I should
522
00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:53.960
probably amend that my mom was a
huge, huge fan and extremely sexually attracted
523
00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:01.079
to Patrick Stewart so by association,
she watched that show religiously, and because
524
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:04.760
she watched it religiously, I watched
a lot of them. I would never
525
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.320
consider myself like a huge Trek fan, but I'm definitely not on the hate
526
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:13.239
side. But so I watched the
What's Up. She was a fan of
527
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:19.280
Patrick Stewart, Oh yeah, not
Jonathan Frank's commander Will Riker. She liked
528
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:22.159
that. She likes bald British men
apparently, which you know, came in
529
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:28.960
no surprise to my father, distinguished. No, it's if you were a
530
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:35.400
fan of the show, then the
third season of Picard is just it's wonderful.
531
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.960
It's it's a great show. But
if if you're a fan, it's
532
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:45.360
kind of like any TV show you
ever watched, and you know, went
533
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.280
on for years and then it came
to an end. This was like,
534
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:50.400
you know, because then they did
that, then they did a couple of
535
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:53.880
movies, and this was like bringing
they basically bring everyone back together, and
536
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:57.519
it just puts a nice little bow
tie and it's like, all right,
537
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:00.199
you know, that's clearly that's it. They're done. Yeah, so this
538
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:04.519
movie just kind of sucked too.
So well, I always had a hard
539
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.000
time buying into Patrick Stewart as an
action star, Like, for whatever reason,
540
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.800
William Shatner on the original series,
Yeah, I could see him punching
541
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:14.440
a green dude. But whenever they
did with Patrick Stewart, it just wasn't
542
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.559
as convincing to me. I don't
know why, but that was he wasn't
543
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:22.400
really more of the It wasn't you
know Jonathan Frakes number one, the number
544
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:29.360
two, that was he was the
muscle. Yeah, yeah, he did
545
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:34.360
more of the action stuff. And
remarkably, they all looked fairly good.
546
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:39.199
I mean, but it's for card
the first couple of seasons, like,
547
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:42.480
yeah, you have to have watched
the first one for the third one to
548
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.599
make sense. Second one kind of
stands alone. I would give the first
549
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:52.599
and second seasons a bee like it
takes a while, Like especially the first
550
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:54.880
couple of episodes of the season one, he just kind of have to get
551
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:59.559
through it before it starts rolling.
But uh, which is that? I
552
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.199
mean, I think that's the way
with most shows these days. But watch
553
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:07.199
it if you're a fan, because
the third season is it's it's wonderful.
554
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:13.360
It really you could not have asked
for a better a better finale for all
555
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:15.800
of it. Then that's what I've
That's what I've seen online in a number
556
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.480
of places. Is that that this
final season or whatever of Pcard is that
557
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.039
is supposedly some of the best that
they've done. I don't know. Yeah,
558
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:30.800
they gave everyone a a what's the
word promotion, like they make a
559
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:39.119
card admiral now cards admiral uh,
rub two finally becomes number one. Well
560
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:45.159
and then at the end, but
yeah and then uh yeah LaForge has had
561
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:51.840
us some engineering and uh and data
gets a heart. That was all.
562
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.920
Yeah, that that that was it. Really. Yes, I was making
563
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.719
a bad Wizard of Oz joke,
but they actually did that. Yeah,
564
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.079
they gave him emotion. Yeah,
that was a little generations I think.
565
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:10.840
Yeah, William sat where where William
Shatner and uh and Picard get stuck in
566
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:15.320
some sort of like alternate universe or
like alternate planet or some some weird thing.
567
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:20.079
It's like, yeah, that's what
it is, a time loop.
568
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:22.320
See, I've I've watched some of
these things and even at that time,
569
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:28.840
I'm like, oh, that's just
yeah, part of that is Groundhog Day
570
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:34.599
on on a foreign planet. They
really did kind of here. They asked
571
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.480
up a lot of stuff like,
uh, first contacts, fun first contact,
572
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:39.719
Like like I said, it's hard
to buy or like Dan said,
573
00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:47.000
it's hard to buy Patrick Stewart as
mister Mega muscles climbing around the engineering pipes
574
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:51.440
and stuff. Yeah, it was
really difficult for me to buy into Patrick
575
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.800
Stewart running and jumping. But there's
other parts of it they're awesome, like
576
00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:58.440
when Warf pulls out that knife and
goes assimilate this and he chops the borg's
577
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:00.119
arm off and all that stuff.
Stuff all right, right, that is
578
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:07.599
that is a pretty good catch phrase. But uh, the last movie Nemesis,
579
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:13.639
that was pretty bad. Well.
I think these are struggles that we
580
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:15.360
all have if there was a show
that you were a fan of and then
581
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:19.880
what's old is new again. They're
doing this with almost every successful show.
582
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:23.360
They're rebooting it in some way.
Like they're doing it with Frasier, they
583
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:27.400
did it with Will and Grace,
They're they've done it with Full House,
584
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:30.360
They've done it with seemingly every show
that was successful from our childhoods, and
585
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.239
they're they're making them do it all
again. Um. The thing I'm struggling
586
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.840
with the most right now was kind
of on the opposite end, which was
587
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:42.400
a show that started out really good
that seems to have jumped the Baby Yoda
588
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:47.800
and yeah, I'm talking about Mandalorian. This last season seems I thought you
589
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:53.760
were gonna say this particular episode of
this podcast, well that's coming. You
590
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:59.559
didn't you didn't like the third season
of Mandalorian. I'm still I'm still trudging
591
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.639
three. I'm sorry, but for
like flipping Baby Yoda, like I mean,
592
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.199
actual Baby Yoda when he flips,
seems kind of silly because I someone
593
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:12.320
pointed out online and I can't unsee
it that the flipping of Baby Yoda is
594
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:15.320
really them just throwing the doll around
on set, and i'd I'm sorry,
595
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:17.840
It's just looks silly to me.
So I haven't seen any of it.
596
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:25.800
I haven't seen any any of the
h nothing like my Disney Disney Plus subscription
597
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:30.280
lapsed because I don't care or they
didn't have a ton that was really interesting
598
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:37.079
me. And from what I've seen
online, I'm not really interested in watching
599
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:39.960
it, which kind of sucks because
that was kind of the pinnacle of Star
600
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:44.320
Wars stuff right now. It was
it was sort of the really good thing
601
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:49.440
since Rogue one, but now it's
kind of what happened. I saw Lizzo
602
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.400
was there and Jack Black for some
reason. Yeah, I see. I
603
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.360
haven't gotten to that episode yet.
I'm pretty sure that episode is next,
604
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:58.360
and I'm afraid of it. It
looked really stupid from what I saw.
605
00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:02.000
It looked right already been to me, it's been pretty stupid leading up to
606
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:06.559
the stupid episode, So I'm now
I'm really worried what happened? I mean,
607
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.960
did they change directors or something like
that or what. No, it's
608
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:14.599
still Favro and Feloni, but I
think maybe they lost their I don't know,
609
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:19.840
drive lost their edge. I don't
know. So I've so Alfhay,
610
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.400
you haven't seen any of The Mandalorian, like any of the three seasons.
611
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.039
No, I've seen the first two. But like when when Disney Plus when
612
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:29.519
the renewal came around this past November, I was like, am I good?
613
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:36.039
No, thanks? I liked season
three of The Mandalorian. I the
614
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:37.800
biggest question is the way they left
it is. You're like, well,
615
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:43.000
is that it? Or I think
they've confirmed Morse coming. No, they
616
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:45.800
have a Fabro has already come out
because that's basically his pet project, and
617
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:51.480
he's already said no seasons four has
already been written and there's still money to
618
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.360
be made. Well yeah, well, and then I guess one of the
619
00:45:54.400 --> 00:46:00.559
things I find kind of fascinating is, uh, I mean, Pedro Pascal
620
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:04.480
obviously had a wonderful first part of
this year between the Last of Us and
621
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:08.599
The Mandalorian, and yeah, evidently
there's problems with him coming back to do
622
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:13.199
season four of The Mandalorian. And
I'm like, it's like James L.
623
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:15.400
Jones doing Darth the Voice. You
don't see his face. It's like,
624
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:19.280
just have him voice the crap and
you have someone else just walk around in
625
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:23.760
the costumes. What's this problem with
coming back for just scheduling or just doesn't
626
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:27.760
want to do it anymore? Does
he see season three? Is being like
627
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:31.519
this is not what I signed up
for. Maybe I think he's just angling
628
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:37.880
for I mean, obviously his star
is pretty high right now, so I'm
629
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:43.440
sure he's just because I know he
signed a two season deal after the success
630
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:45.400
of season one, and I'm sure
now he's like, you know, like
631
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:51.159
an NFL quarterback going, you're not
paying me enough. He wants that Aaron
632
00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:55.239
Rodgers money, I will say,
and listen to my listen to my segue
633
00:46:55.320 --> 00:47:00.519
here. This is a transition right
out of a hall of fame. One
634
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:02.400
of the things I do like that
they're doing in Star Wars almost anything,
635
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:07.119
is they're still staying true to the
original films and turning trash cans into robots.
636
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:15.800
Oh, like the Gonk droid and
he stomps around exactly, And that's
637
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:17.440
the way a lot of the droids
are, like the ones that roll around,
638
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:22.320
or like the one you're talking about, Alfie, that was that's a
639
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.679
literal trash can that they just kind
of turned in to make it look like
640
00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:29.360
a robot exactly. So you remember, it was like a week or two
641
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:34.559
ago we talked about the robot dogs
being deployed by the NYPD. Yeah huh.
642
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:42.679
Well, and apparently New York is
expanding their robotics program from enforcement from
643
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:47.000
law enforcement now to trash collecting.
Oh for real, Oh dude, Other
644
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:52.760
cities have these, like, um
so they're part of the Santinentation Department,
645
00:47:52.360 --> 00:48:00.320
I think so. Researchers at Cornell
University recently deployed a pair of robotic trash
646
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:05.159
cans in New York to test how
people would respond to them. Video of
647
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:07.800
the trash cans, which were equipped
with three hundred and sixty degree cameras and
648
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:15.280
move on retrofitted hoverboards. Oh,
they move that, they move. I
649
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.360
was I was under the impression that
it was just a trash can and when
650
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:21.119
you put something in it, it
goes, thank you very much and then
651
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:23.320
like makes a chewing sound or something
like that, which they have. They
652
00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:30.360
absolutely have that. In your honors. There's some European towns that have trash
653
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:35.760
cans that have like basically trash compactors
built in and you put the stuff in
654
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:38.000
and it'll make like a funny noise. It'll make like a belotious thank you,
655
00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:42.679
like to this is a little reward
for throwing away your trash. You
656
00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:45.719
get to see a stupid little,
stupid, little chucky cheese style show.
657
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:52.840
You know. So basically everyone's stealing
from Sesame Street. Yeah exactly. It's
658
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:58.880
yeah, yeah, and Star Wars
all wrapped into one. But yeah,
659
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.159
So these these trash bots or you
know, robot trash bins, whatever you
660
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:07.400
want to call them. They roll
around on hoverboards and then they have the
661
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:08.920
cameras on them. They wanted to
see how people react to the to the
662
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:14.280
trash cans, and they'll kind of
follow people around so while on one hand
663
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:17.920
people responded to them pretty well,
there were some of the UH people that
664
00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.480
had interactions with these robotic trash cans
that were apparently a little creeped out.
665
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:28.079
Um, but we made sure.
And it's like, Okay, it's important
666
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.440
if I'm gonna bring something up on
the show that you know, we thoroughly
667
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:34.599
vet it. It needs to be
researched entirely. And it's like someone says,
668
00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:36.840
a robots creeping me out, I
need to find examples of it.
669
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:42.440
So I found some. Hello,
I am robot trash bin. Talk dirty
670
00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:47.599
to me. That's a hilarious cash
phrase. Hey, not all, not
671
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:55.719
all robots are Oh god, are
you no? I'm just thinking it's like,
672
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:59.719
not all, not all, not
all trash kNs can be Dave Chappelle.
673
00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:06.679
Sometimes they just they just feel like
making a pun. There's plenty of
674
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:08.639
stinker puns that I could make right
now that I'm going to refrain from doing,
675
00:50:08.719 --> 00:50:15.440
dan because I'm better than that.
That's okay, I'm not Hello,
676
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:22.559
I am robo trash bin. How
about some ask for some trash. Trust
677
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:27.639
me, they get much harsher.
See. This is this is the This
678
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.239
is like the European robot, the
one that gives you a little reward.
679
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:36.000
I therefore, maybe the ones in
New York City took inspiration from the euro
680
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:43.079
trash Maybe. So, I guess
the trash cansdent what Trey U. The
681
00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:46.159
trash cans identify as day them,
so they're just hitting on anyone everyone,
682
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:52.119
and I think so Yeah, okay, Hello, I am robo trash bin.
683
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:59.360
Have you seen my girlfriend, robo
recycle bitch. She's always revived,
684
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:07.920
exs refining. I don't know what
that belief was. I like to point
685
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:14.519
out that Trey is choking on that
joke. Yeah, I see you're laughing
686
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:19.079
now that Trust me, it's gonna
get worse. Hello, I am robotrash
687
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:22.880
Ben. Don't laugh at me because
I'm a robot. One day I could
688
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:34.599
become robo president, just like the
one we have now. It communicates better
689
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.840
mhm, clear concise m But that's
also a problem. Hello, I am
690
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:45.079
robot trash Bin. Have I told
you how my parents met? It all
691
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:52.760
started with my mom being a c
dumpster. Jesus, you can see now
692
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:57.039
why some people might be creeped out
by a robot with that much of detail.
693
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:04.320
I don't know how to feel right
now. What do you mean embarrassed
694
00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:12.559
or what do you mean embarrassed?
Hello, I am robotrash Ben. Laugh
695
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:15.960
all you want, But I have
your careers in here. Yeah that's true.
696
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:24.559
They had again robot. Hello,

00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:30.679
a dirty girl? Yeah? You
are? You're so dirty? I want
698
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:36.280
you inside me. It's robot trash
Ben just a perve. Is that what's
699
00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:37.960
going on? Look? People said
they were creeped out by it. I
700
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:40.199
mean okay, Well, I mean
yeah, because it moves and it's on
701
00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:45.719
a hoverboard. That's a thing.
Well that's asking people to crawl inside him.
702
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:51.440
Yeah. Hello, I am robotrash

Okay, Yeah, no, it really
711
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.840

left one? Yeah, because this
is really this is the trash can,

seven point one? You know? I
