00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:34.920
Alfy Coy and also by Trey Trenholm
and joining us. I think this actually

3
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:40.799
might be our first quote unquote real
guest for the first time in a long

4
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:47.560
time back in the treehouse. The
one and only Katie FW Fox Four's Steve

5
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:52.920
Noviello, Good afternoon. Oh you're
kind Who was the fake? Who was

6
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.320
the first fake guest? Other people
that are occasional recurring guests on the show,

7
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.799
like Everard Newton, our attorney Jerry. You remember Jerry? Oh?

8
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:10.120
Yes? And I'm familiar with Effort's
work, aren't. We all are very

9
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.280
different? How did you get away
with m moving your infro music overhe?

10
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:30.680
Did you remember? Consumers? Not
not for the big evil record labeled?

11
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:38.760
Wow, we are off to a
good start. We actually are. We

12
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.000
just don't call a whole lot of
attention. Yeah, how can I edit

13
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:49.599
up the first five minutes of the
show? Oh? Hello, Well,

14
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.840
it is nice to hear both of
your voices. It's been a minute,

15
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.319
it has it has? Yeah,
I'm not sure what happened. I don't

16
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:00.560
I don't think I ever received the
uh the sorry you got fire or tips

17
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.760
treats delivery Alphie, did you get
it? Or did Mike Reiner eat it?

18
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.120
No? He probably ate it.
He's the type you see cookies and

19
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.080
just sent to the station and they
were like, well, totally give it

20
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.199
to them. I was like,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah. People

21
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:23.000
there saying lots of things we're going
to talk about today. No, you

22
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:30.159
know what I was actually curious about
this um is getting fired in television,

23
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.599
similar to how you get fired in
radio. You have to ask somebody who's

24
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.400
been fired. I knew it.
I knew that was going to be the

25
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:39.840
answer, and that's the reason why
I wrote it down. I've said to

26
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.360
myself, I bet Steve Novielle is
going to say, I don't know,

27
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.879
Dan, I've never been fired from
te I just think if I've ever been

28
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.120
fired from any job. Yeah,
I mean, let's see. I mean

29
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.759
no, no, no, definitely
not there. Uh no, yeah no,

30
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.319
all right, well let's let's let's
go down your your resume. Roald

31
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.879
Quick, what was your first not
your first TV job? What was your

32
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.400
very first job? I was thirteen
years old, flinging frozen yogurt at Yummy

33
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.840
Yogurt, making two dollars eighty five
cents an hour. Oh you and Meghan

34
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:23.039
Markle Yes, me and Megan were
there together. Yeah. And then I

35
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:30.919
left there to become the customer service
representative at Marshall's, quickly promoted to customer

36
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:38.879
service desk manager at one age fifteen
sixteen. Holy, you know there were

37
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.840
full grown adults who were like,
Steve, can I take my fifteen?

38
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.199
Yeah? Go go for it.
I know how you old people need to.

39
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.199
I was right. I was in
charge of returns and exchanges. I

40
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.319
was also which was my favorite part
and I probably can still do it.

41
00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:00.199
I was in charge of the evening
announcements, like to tell me what the

42
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.039
store was going to closet. Let's
say that that that we're in a Marshal's

43
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:11.159
and I'm there shopping for fantastic deals
and you, Steve Novello, it's it's

44
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.599
you know, eight fifty eight,
and you can tell. But I'm not

45
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:19.120
slowing down looking at h just amazing
deals on shoes. How would you ask

46
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.560
me to politely exit the building and
a time it up? So first of

47
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.519
all, I like to do it
more than two minutes before closing. I

48
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.439
like to give you a full half
hour warning so I you might hear something

49
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.759
like this. Okay, ready to
I tend to wash your shoppers. The

50
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.959
time is now eight thirty pm.
Our store will be closing an exactly one

51
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.160
half hour. Please bring your final
selections to our registers for a quick,

52
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.079
kind and courteous check out. We
do want to remind you, folks that

53
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.000
our jewelry counter, our customer service
for turncounter, and our fitting rooms will

54
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.759
close fifteen minutes before the store closinging. We invite you to come back again

55
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.959
tomorrow for a great day of savings
here at Marshall's. And you still got

56
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.560
it. You're not allowed to take
on endorsements as as a journalist. Are

57
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.240
you actually on my Instagram bio?
Says former Marshall's manager, Just because I

58
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.160
feel like it's so there's got to
be so many of us, right,

59
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.759
Like, what do they always say, if you've ever worked at McDonald's,

60
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.199
put it on your resume, because
chances are the guy across the table or

61
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.720
the woman across the table um has
worked there too. Actually, I like

62
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.199
that idea. I like of putting
on there someplace that seems random that you've

63
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:27.519
worked, especially especially if you're known
in an industry that's very, very different.

64
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:32.839
Yeah, for sure for right now
there fired there are Marshall's employees out

65
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.800
there right now that are listening to
this, going, oh, holy crap,

66
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.560
I wonder where the war stories he
could tell. Oh, we used

67
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.920
to have a woman. It was
brilliant. So she would come and shop

68
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.399
the store. She had you know
what Dennis and gun is um the the

69
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.839
you know, the plastic um,
the thing that connects the paper tag to

70
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:58.279
the actual fabric tag, like that
connects it shoots at a piece of plastic

71
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.399
right, that connects it right that
you can't get the tag off without ripping

72
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.000
it right. It was called the
Dennison gun. And that's that's how you

73
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.680
So she used to come into the
store shop a whole bunch of stuff,

74
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.439
and because the inventory at Marshalls is
so random, like we don't have you

75
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.040
know, twenty of each thing or
like a new season, it's just random

76
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.000
stuff, she would buy a bunch
of stuff, go home, take the

77
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.759
tags off of everything, take out
her Dennison gun tag, like old stuff

78
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.199
she had around the house, and
then come back and bring her receipt that

79
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.439
she had just you know, acquired
by buying new stuff, which now matched

80
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.560
the tags that she had put on
her old stuff and return everything. Um,

81
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.240
no one say anything for a brief
moment. If you can look at

82
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.759
my face right now, do you
see how wide my eyes are? Steve,

83
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.639
how do you know my sister?
I was gonna say, was it

84
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:59.040
you? Did she do that?
You're not from California? Are you?

85
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.079
No? The other post? Okay, okay, I don't think my sister

86
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:09.120
was by coastal in her in her
fraudulent activities. But yeah, as soon

87
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.879
as you started mentioning the gun and
the tags and taking them home, it

88
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.720
started to hit real close to home
for me. Did she return the item?

89
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.120
Did she return the items to the
same store? Oh yeah, oh

90
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.839
yeah she was no. I mean, and as the fifteen year old,

91
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.079
but behind the counter, I was
like, I don't, I'm not gonna

92
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.079
hassle you for this lady, Like, I'll take it all back, you

93
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.600
know what. To my sister's credit, she at least went to different stores.

94
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:41.720
Yeah, real quick, I don't
know if you guys have ever met

95
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.319
before, if I'm being rude,
So inside the tree House, Steve Nove

96
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.680
Yellow Fox four Trey Tren home from
of course the tree House. I think

97
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.439
we had Steve on I mean one
time, maybe when I'm back in my

98
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.720
days. So, well, it's
good to see you again. Nice see

99
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:05.959
You've we've actually grown an interesting bond
with Steve over these recent years, since

100
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.519
since you left the radio show Trey, and not the least of which is

101
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.600
apparently him digging into my family history
and presenting it in a fashion that seems

102
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.879
a little a little fishy to me. But we're just going to roll with

103
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.399
it for now. Yeah, a
little a little familiar, a little familiar.

104
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.399
Okay. So, since you've never
been fired from television because you're all

105
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.000
of them, what's it like when
you've seen other people get canned? So,

106
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.519
oh god, you're gonna get me
in trouble. Um. So it

107
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.639
doesn't happen often. I can tell
you without naming stations that the process is

108
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:48.440
usually like, you know, uh, there's usually a ramp up because the

109
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.960
station would be like, Okay,
we are now pre preparing for any resulting

110
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.679
lawsuit, so we need to document
the heck out of this person's performance,

111
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.720
um, and make them miserable for
the next six months until they either quit

112
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.799
or we've got enough on them to
be able to say, hey, we

113
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.559
warned you for six months, you
know. Um. So there's that.

114
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.240
Um, I've never really seen a
whole lot of like, gosh, we

115
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:16.399
don't feel like this is working out? What can we do to help you

116
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:22.279
become more successful? There's not there's
not a whole lot of that is there

117
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.159
is there in television? So in
radio, this there's a thing that happens

118
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.799
fairly often. And I think this
happens in other industries as well, But

119
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.120
I'm curious if it happens in television. You'll have someone in management that wasn't

120
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:39.919
very successful and for whatever reason,
they get promoted that it's like someone above

121
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.720
them recognizes, Okay, you're not
really good at this job. Let me

122
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.720
give you a better wood is see
if you're see if you're better at this

123
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.360
job. Does that happen in TV? I feel like, um, you

124
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.240
are not making up this storyline.
No, this is purely purely the dance

125
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.679
scabbing right now, he's scabbing.
This is just in the middle of the

126
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.840
writer strike. This is all fake
right exactly. You're just making this up.

127
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.840
I think that there's always you know, people who you're like, how

128
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.080
did this happen? Um? At
least I've heard can we talk about something

129
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.240
else? I mean, this is
very I'm sorry, Steve, I'm sorry.

130
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.320
I I you know, I'm not
going to apologize. I love I

131
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.080
love hearing and watching you score them
a little bit. Yeah, like like

132
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.240
to I'd like to maintain my never
been fired track record. Please? Did

133
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.840
you have one clear management coming on
with us? Do you have to clear

134
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.600
with management again? Because we're no
longer on the radio station, it's sort

135
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.919
of a separate entity. I figured, well, maybe you go to management

136
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.559
and this and all that. Luckily
our promotions guys a fan of yours and

137
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.399
you've always been. I'll tell I
mean, I mean, if we're I

138
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.519
mean, way back in the day
when I first moved into the market,

139
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.200
I was like, there's absolutely no
way I would ever go on that show.

140
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.320
Because I used to do somebody's show
in your building at the time when

141
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.960
you guys were back over off of
STEMMENSUM and I was a pretty regular guest

142
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.720
on their show and they were on
right before you UM, and I was

143
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.320
like, no, there's absolutely no
way I would ever step put into that

144
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.360
studio. Never say never say never. Know here we are best buddies.

145
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:22.840
I got longer exists. I'm gonna
throw out a name and this is just

146
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.639
completely obscure, but promo Joe isn't
still there is. Oh my gosh,

147
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.080
I wish he was. So he
was the best. Yeah he was.

148
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.240
He was the best. I mean
you don't. They don't just hand that

149
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.440
name out, No, you have
to earn that. It's a title,

150
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.080
there's a coronation and everything. Yeahs
ancient Rock for sure. I mean he

151
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.960
and he loved I mean loved um. You know, it was not.

152
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.200
I mean sometimes I've been in situations, um, in my past years where

153
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.320
you know, you're working on something
and you're like, oh my god,

154
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.360
and here's all the elements and here's
you know, you know, for your

155
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.159
and they're like, you know,
and then they come back with the most

156
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.120
generic like you know, to night
at you know, eleven blah blah blah,

157
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.039
and you're like that really that's but
Joe, I mean, I mean

158
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:11.639
everyone was like he was like Spielberg. I mean it was like every past

159
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.639
thirty seconds that everybody saw the promo
voice guy. Now we're talking about the

160
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.919
different guy. He's hits in his
like pajamas somewhere. I think in La

161
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.919
Promo Joe was one of our producers
that was was in charge of like writing

162
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.840
and sometimes shooting promotional campaigns, either
for like a whole campaign or for simply

163
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.399
like a special report that sometimes see
see yeah, So like a lot of

164
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:39.399
times the television stations, the news, the TV news local, they'll do

165
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.559
like the big sweeping uh well,
we'll do the package like you're talking about.

166
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.840
It might be like thirty seconds after
air and it'll be like this sweeping

167
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.200
thing they're doing, like a helicopter
U photography of downtown Dallas, you know,

168
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.600
Fort Worth over at the time,
you know, you know Texas Stadium

169
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.399
or whatever, all these grand landmarks
that are for milliar and then they zoom

170
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.840
in with a from a low angle
because they're want to be Michael Bay,

171
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:11.559
directors of the of the News at
ten anchor team, basically everything that the

172
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.120
movie Anchorman made fun of those promos
right there, Yeah we did. Those

173
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.919
are image campaigns, we don't we. Yes, I have definitely been been

174
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:26.320
part of that in my past lives, for sure. But sometimes they just

175
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.720
write themselves, like that story we
did years ago that I know you'll remember,

176
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.519
where the woman stole my identity and
I was like, I've got an

177
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.480
amazing promo. There wasn't even a
voice over for it. It was like

178
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.600
just like the sound it was like
words on the screen like tonight at nine

179
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.320
Steve Noviello face to face, you
know, with his identity thief, and

180
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.399
then you hear like the sound bite
you picked the wrong guy, you know,

181
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.879
with this like really dramatic music.
It was an awesome promo in fact,

182
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.320
because I shot it with my iPhone
unknowingly actually got nominated for a photography

183
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.360
Emmy for that promo, which I
always Raoul. I'm always like, yeah,

184
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:09.480
I'm an Emmy nominated photographer. Also. So by the way, Trey,

185
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.080
I don't know if in the conversation
you had with no Viello back in

186
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.600
the day, but he's also a
master at inserting all his Emmy awards in

187
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.440
yeah, have you won anymore in
the last like six eight months since we

188
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.559
talked to you. I think he
won one just now. No, I

189
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.039
have not. Um I I set
it aside for a minute, you know

190
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.360
why, because now he just wins
them passively like like he's a landlord.

191
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.000
Oh no no, no no no
no no no no certainly not certainly not.

192
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:48.399
So I'm your how's your Marconi coming? Does that include podcasts? Now?

193
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.960
Or how does that? When does
that work. You know, there's

194
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.720
there are podcast awards, and ironically
enough I heard is one that that that

195
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:01.440
gives some of those out Um but
mel An Award? Yeah, yeah,

196
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.279
that's that's not what you're smelling,
Steve Um. The are we are we

197
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.320
discussing that at all? Or like? Is that? I'll just have to

198
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.200
text you later to figure out what
happened? Figure out what? Like what

199
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.320
why we're not on the radio right
now because people made some decisions that we

200
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.679
would not have made and they have
to now live with the ramifications of those

201
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.159
decisions. Oh I dare you speak
to truth? Alphie? That's too much

202
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.639
truth. Wow. I'm not speaking
disparagingly of anyone or any of my former

203
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.879
co workers, nor would I want
anyone to speak disparagingly of them. But

204
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.200
none of us here would have made
the same decisions that were made. Well

205
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.000
for sure, all right, I
wouldn't have fired me either. It does

206
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.360
go back to the original question about
management. You know you fail in another

207
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.519
market. Oh okay, well let's
give you a bigger market, because then

208
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.600
you'll succeed. Yeah. I do
see that in other industries. I will

209
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.240
say, like friends of mine who
work in like finance, let's say,

210
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.440
or you know some other kind of
like again, TV is such a weird

211
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.840
we don't really have a traditional office
life. Um there there is a more

212
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:12.360
of a traditional management hierarchy, but
it's more so like in I'll see a

213
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.080
lot of friends in other in other
industries that are like, what, like

214
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.759
this person just got promoted to like
a director or a VP or you know

215
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.600
something, and they're like they you
know what, how did how did that

216
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.480
happen? Who do they have photos
of? Is really the kidding lask well

217
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:32.480
that that question gets asked in radio
stations as well. Often Yeah, the

218
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.200
um so, the very short version
like this even shorter version of what Alfie

219
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.240
gave is is something that happens in
radio fairly often, but rarely happens in

220
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.840
television, which is the radio station
change formats. And we were on the

221
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.679
way, Yeah, that was it, even though I would think premiere show

222
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.600
that you'd want on that format,
but hey, not our decisions. You

223
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.519
guys were on for I mean again
not to you know, blow smoke up,

224
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.679
you know, but um, you
held it for a really long time.

225
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.279
I mean I remember way back in
the day, like again when I

226
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.839
used to go and then like do
pugs and Kelly and like that era.

227
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.240
It was like this week we're a
sports station, and this week we're indie

228
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.960
rock, and this week we're going
to be a you know, classic rock

229
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.920
station, and this week we're going
to be you know. And it was

230
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.160
I mean, it was really obviously
do Jagger Show as well, and it

231
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:23.319
was it it really. I feel
like the format change happened pretty frequently.

232
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:27.079
I mean, you guys were there
for quite a while, and I do

233
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:32.200
have to say would would shift its
focus every so often. Then eventually it

234
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:37.920
straight up changed the format into a
more focused one, which was just sports.

235
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.039
And that's pretty much what happened with
with ninety seven one. It was

236
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:44.400
it was one format, then they
started changing to some different things, and

237
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.359
then then they decided to switch to
one thing. Yeah, and so it

238
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.599
was not a disparaging This is not
a disparaging statement at all. But uh,

239
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.480
the only people that have ever beat
in the ratings, Uh everyone on

240
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:03.920
that station now is us. That's
it. How did you speak more true?

241
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.319
You've got to keep black Thunder or
whatever I got, I got it

242
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.960
right here. Oh that's Alphie's totally
Alphie's and it's in your on your lawn

243
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:11.680
er yes, you're sitting right there. I'm looking at it. It's up

244
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:21.640
on blocks and Alphie, you might
want to preface that is the people who

245
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:26.480
had beaten those those other the current
lineup in the ratings before they made the

246
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.680
format correct. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, because now like you could say

247
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.799
that about w r R, that's
true. Yeah, yeah, I think

248
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.720
KCBI can say that they still are
KCBI. Steve dr Are you familiar with

249
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.720
KCYBI. I'm like, I think
we're getting a little esoteric here, so

250
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.200
I'm more familiar with it because I
don't know if it's still there. But

251
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:52.920
KCBI is a small Christian radio station
that was at least when I was in

252
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.400
high school in Arlington. It's studio
was right off of I thirty in the

253
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:03.400
middle of Arlington and you'd drive past
it frequently. And full disclosure, the

254
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:11.400
minister that that officiated my wedding to
my wife, Tara Is was a weekend

255
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.160
host at KCBI. Oh my god, are you kidding me? Dan?

256
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.640
And that guy has had more rating
success. How have I never heard this?

257
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.400
How have I never heard that you
had another radio host officiate your wedding?

258
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.839
So I didn't know it for o
So here's the very brief story.

259
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.359
Tara had found somewhere researched a place
to find wedding officients because neither one of

260
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.559
us or hardcore churchgoers, so we
needed someone performed the ceremony, something simple,

261
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:45.119
something basic. She found this company
and they recommended this guy that they

262
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.000
worked with, and we met with
him. I forget where we met with

263
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.359
him. It was like a diner
or something. And within the first two

264
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:55.400
minutes all we've done is introduced ourselves. This is Tara, I'm Dan,

265
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.559
we're getting married on this date.
What kind of ceremony do you want?

266
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.880
Blah blah blah. That was really
about it until he says, because I

267
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:04.519
just want to let you guys know, like I'm you know, I'm very

268
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:10.039
comfortable speak in front of a crowd. I actually I actually do radio.

269
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:15.440
I have a weekend show on CASEYBI, to which I looked at him.

270
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.240
I just went, that's great.
Well, you know, I'm something of

271
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.599
a radio man myself. Myself,
well, you know what, I just

272
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:27.519
kept that to myself, despite the
fact that I'd say a strong thirty percent

273
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:33.599
of the attendees at our wedding.
We're also in media, and this guy

274
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.960
was he was talking about mad I
got a weekend Joe on CASEYBI. It's

275
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.720
like, that's awesome, dude.
Did it make it difficult to have a

276
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:42.200
wedding on the weekend as well?
I mean, did he have to get

277
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.680
the day off of work or yeah, he had to run dust of I

278
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:52.200
kind of felt bad, but the
officiating gig paid better than CACYBI from my

279
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.720
hat in the ring that you were
looking for an efficient but I guess it's

280
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:56.839
too late now. If you ever
renew, let me know. No,

281
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:02.279
you are too tall and way too
good looking to be standing there. I

282
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:07.319
need to be the pretty ones.
Steve and the folks at Casey B I

283
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.759
Dan, don't worry about him and
having to run best of that one time.

284
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.400
They're doing fine. They are pretty
much a ratings juggernaut at this point.

285
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:18.839
With who they're beating and where are
they they are, I think,

286
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:26.319
well and they may maybe maybe they're
tied for twenty third on the quarter hour.

287
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:37.000
You'd think the best of God would
at least break the top twenty And

288
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:44.839
this is when we all went to
hell. Is anybody you're in the treehouse,

289
00:21:44.920 --> 00:22:06.119
Swet, Dan O'Malley and Alfie Coy
Rodney Anderson joins us in the treehouse

you'll need right now, nine seven two

Rodney Anderson dot com. Rodney on this

293
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.880
today, let's start homeowners. Obviously, it's very important for us and for

294
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.319
people in general to own our homes. And I'm wondering if you could share

295
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.799
with us today the top three reasons
why people are buying homes right now.

296
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.079
Well, Number one is to build
equity, because as home values continue to

297
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.359
move higher, and as you pay
your mortgage down, you create what's called

298
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.640
equity, and that equity can be
used for a lot of different things.

299
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:44.880
You could do a cash out refinance
if you get to the fight financial trouble.

300
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.839
You could sell a house down the
road if you grow out of your

301
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.640
house, and use that as a
substantial down payment. So building equity is

302
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.640
very important. Number two stability.
People never talk about this, but owning

303
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.799
a home can provide a lot of
stability and a sense of security for you

304
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.119
in your family, you know,
versus the neighbors having their music up as

305
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:08.880
loud as they want in the apartment
complict like, and there's tax benefits.

306
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:14.519
You can have tax benefits for many
times when you own a home because you

307
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.119
may be able to deduct more and
the interest in the taxes on the property.

308
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.880
And I'll throw a fourth one in
here. It's called personalization. We

309
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:25.839
had a buyer just close on their
house that wrote as a great email and

310
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.799
said, I love that I can
personalize my house now. I can paint

311
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.759
the walls the way I want to
and don't have rental situations down the road

312
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.759
when I move out and added expenses, and I can personalize my house.

313
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.839
I can put my own paintings up, I can have my own furniture in

314
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.920
there. It's a lot different than
renting, and a lot of people like

315
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.279
that whole idea. Plus, it's
great to raise a family in a home

316
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.480
versus an apartment. Definitely. And
it's amazing because I remember when I first

317
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.720
bought my home with you working as
my lender. People said, well,

318
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.279
you know, you're not gonna have
that same freedom that you had kind of

319
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.119
come and go whenever you want.
It's like, no, actually, I'm

320
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.119
going to have more freedom because,
like you said, I can do whatever

321
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.799
I want in my house. I
don't have a landlord or an apartment company

322
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.240
to answer to. And that's one
of the great benefits that that that sometimes

323
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.240
I think people forget. Well.
The first thing is in the first step,

324
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:17.279
though, Dan, before you go
out and do all that, you've

325
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.839
got to be preapproved up front.
Definitely, you Oh, what price range

326
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.240
are you looking at? What are
my payments going to be? How much

327
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.599
money am I going to need?
What mortgage options are best for yourself.

328
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.119
Don't set yourself up for a failure
looking for a seven hundred thousand dollar home

329
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:34.880
if you only qualify or your payment
and your budget only fits a five hundred

330
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:38.000
thousand or home. Yeah, so
this is there one of the many reasons

331
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.680
why you need to call Rodney and
his team when you're ready to buy that

332
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.599
home called nine seven two nine eighty

we didn't scare him off yet,

339
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:23.759
although I'm sure it's inevitable. Fox
Fours Steve Nova Yellow is in the treehouse

340
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:26.759
today. We love, we absolutely
love having you, Steve, so thank

341
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.839
you for being back with us.
Well, I appreciate you asking me back

342
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:36.319
real quick before we jump in with
everything you've been up to lately. This

343
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:41.359
segment is brought to you by Cook
DFW Roofing and Restoration, the website cookedfw

344

346
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.960
a call. It's storm season.
It's only a matter of time before you're

347
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.160
going to need someone to come take
a look at your roof to see if

348
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.160
you have any damage or how bad
the damage is. We in the Treehouse

349
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:03.799
recommend cook dfw dot com. See
Steve, we're actually finding a way to

350
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.599
uh you know, uh well,
not make a total living at this when

351
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.960
we still have to panhandle some but
still not bad, right, I'm sorry?

352
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.200
What was that website again? Was
it cook dfw dot com? God,

353
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.240
you are a professional at this.
That is correct, Steve. If

354
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:19.160
you want, we'll wait for you
to get a pin. But while you

355
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.799
get a pin so you can write
down, I'll tell you again it is

356
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.279
cook dfw dot com. What kind
of roof do you guys have on the

357
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:32.160
treehouse? I'd have to ask h
Daniel cook that because he's the one that

358
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:33.480
installed it. And it's a bunch
of fancy words that I didn't know,

359
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:40.519
but I think it's one of those
thatched. Yeah, well it was that

360
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.640
beforehand, but then we got a
roofing company to sponsors, and now now

361
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.440
we got something fancy. Oh mightbe
like a clay tile. Yes, very

362
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.960
Spanish. Yeah, yeah, we've
gone Mediterranean and yet very big in my

363
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:59.519
neighborhood. All right, So we
we sort of caught up a little bit

364
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.319
early year as far as what we've
been up to, which is kind of

365
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:07.359
obvious, and then what sort of
happened? It sounds so pathetic, Dan,

366
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.079
What what do you say we've been
up to, which is pretty obviously

367
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:18.880
sitting around and just eating nothing but
leftoor pizzas and sadness, just been wallowing

368
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.359
in our own depression, and well
we didn't say it specifically, but it

369
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.559
was certainly implied. Well, I
mean, but doing it all with the

370
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.279
absolute assurance that you don't have to
worry about a leaky roof. So,

371
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.079
I mean, there's the plans of
the plus side right there. Thank you

372
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.440
Steve for bringing us back on time, and you don't have to worry about

373
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.920
the mortgage for it, su treehouse, especially with braids today. Man,

374
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.480
that's that's that's a good deal.
That's a good deal. Now we just

375
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:51.000
decided to go with squatters rights.
We're just on the back of somebody's property

376
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.640
and they just don't know it yet. So what have you been up to

377
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.559
lately, Steve? Know? A
yellow from Fox for you know. So

378
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.880
it's been kind of crazy. I've
been actually filling in quite about. I'm

379
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.200
working mornings quite a bit lately because
everyone on the morning she was getting married,

380
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:08.839
Yes, well Hannah and Shannon both. Shannon just had her wedding,

381
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:14.039
so that was two weeks for the
wedding and then her and her now husband

382
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:19.920
went to the Maldives for their animoon. I saw a couple of photos of

383
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.680
that were there did anyone from Fox
four get an invitation or did she just

384
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.160
stiff everybody? Oh? No,
I was invited. I mean Alex Boyer

385
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:32.079
was there, Hannah was there.
Nice. Yeah, we could make it,

386
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:34.240
you know. It was that in
Austin. It's a really cool outdoor

387
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:40.039
venue m with a really beautiful wedding. It was just kind of a lot

388
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:41.880
with us and the kids, and
we couldn't get you know, we would

389
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.319
need to sit her and all that
other kind of stuff. So we just

390
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.599
we just sent a gift. But
uh yeah, So she was out,

391
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:53.839
so I was in for her.
And now Hannah is out. She's away

392
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:59.480
for her birthday, and then in
a couple of weeks she'll be away again

393
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.839
because actually both of them will be
away because now it's Hannah's wedding. I

394
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.960
believe it's in June. That is
a lot of time off. Are y'all

395
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:12.720
one of those companies that has quote
unquote unlimited time off? No? No,

396
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.759
no, no no no, you
just did you just pause and count

397
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:22.839
all your vacation days? And um
we I will say Fox does have a

398
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:27.720
really nice um vacation schedule for us, but it's not unlimited. No,

399
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:30.920
we don't, Okay, Yeah,
do you know about that whole scam,

400
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:36.880
right, but when they do unlimited
PTO, yes, yeah, So Doug

401
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:40.400
and I were talking about that because
his We actually were at dinner the other

402
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.720
night with an executive from another credit
union. They were talking about that,

403
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:49.400
and it's interesting and that you kind
of refer to it that way because what

404
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.039
happens generally is when you give people
unlimited time off, they tend to take

405
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.960
less time off than they do.
So if you say to something you've got

406
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.119
three weeks, you're like, oh, my gosh, I better take the

407
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:00.759
full three weeks before lose it.
But if you're like, oh, you've

408
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.240
got an unlimited time off, next
thing, you know, the year has

409
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:06.519
passed and you've only taken two and
you're like, okay, cool, that

410
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:10.880
was fun. Yeah, I've never
left I have never left vacation time on

411
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:12.440
the table. Oh god, no, no, I'm taking it. And

412
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:15.920
I will say this though, I
totally screwed up on my sick leave because

413
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:21.799
there is that guilty conscience thing that
you get conditioned in America that you have

414
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.000
to, you know, just to
show up to work no matter what,

415
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.759
like unless you're dead, you still
go to work. So like when we

416
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:32.240
all got let go. When the
station changed formats last year, I had

417
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:37.880
over thirty days of sick days piled
up that I got nothing for same,

418
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.160
nothing for in California. We have
to pay you out a percentage of that.

419
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.759
Yeah, well we don't live in
California. Ah. Yeah, we

420
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.319
used to have unlimited sick which changed. But what one of the nice things

421
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:55.319
is that our vacation didn't roll over
until several years ago. Now it does,

422
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:57.640
which is nice. But also we
just like you guys. I mean,

423
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:00.119
we're not closed on Christmas, were
not closed on m Okay, we're

424
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.359
not closed on President's Day. We're
not closed on the fourth of July.

425
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.920
We're not you know, so all
of that kind of racks up pretty quickly

426
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.400
as well. If you work.
There's also trade days, and it's all

427
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.920
it's all sorts of you know,
it's it's it's we're treated well, which

428
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.920
is nice that And so what they
like to do is when everyone, like

429
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:23.079
when these anchors on at Fox four
gone vacation or they get married or birthdays

430
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.440
or you know, they lost a
tooth, it seems they got to call

431
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:32.119
you to come in and do the
early morning anchor desks stuff because you know

432
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.680
they're off, you know, gallivanting. So how does how do you like

433
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:40.640
having to shift to that morning show
schedule? You know what? It's actually,

434
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:42.319
Um, it's not terrible. So
one of the things I will say

435
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.519
is that I've been really fortunate over
I mean, I've been there for it's

436
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:51.839
going to be twenty years in October, which is insane. And I have

437
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:52.920
done all of the shows. I
mean I do good day, I do

438
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.039
mid days, I do the five, six, and nine. I've done

439
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.400
weekends, I've done weekend mornings.
So it's nice. You know, I

440
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:04.200
feel like I'm kind of the only
person who does that. Like you would

441
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:07.799
have never seen, you know,
Tim Ryan filling in for Steve Eager.

442
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.359
You know, um, it just
wouldn't happen, right, Um, So

443
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.200
I really kind of enjoy that because
at that point it would have looked like

444
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:24.160
that Steve Eager's wish expired at midnight. Wow. Wow, Look I'm not

445
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:30.079
you won't lose your job, Steve. That joke is all about perspective.

446
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:34.240
If if if you think that was
an ugly slam on Tim Ryan, that's

447
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:37.559
on you. To me, that
joke is more about how pretty Steve Eager

448
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.640
is. I mean, so pretty. Let's I mean, I have to

449
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.519
wear sunglasses when he's on TV and
he smiles because his teeth reflect brighter than

450
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:51.359
the sun. I mean Eager,
I think he's sixty and he looks great.

451
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:55.680
Really, I mean yeah, yeah, he does that make him?

452
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:01.599
Is he a granddad? Is he
a guilt He's definitely a grand factor.

453
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.039
I won't make me try to answer. The question is to you Dan,

454
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.559
If you think he's a guilt Dan, than he is. Yeah, that

455
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:13.240
is true. Again, that's all
about kind of a really question for me.

456
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:16.880
But if you think so, then
you know he's got some serious juice.

457
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.920
I don't want to know about Steve
Eager's juice. Okay, Yeah,

458
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:30.559
anyways, ovulation rates elevate during the
nine PM newscast, and this is why

459
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:36.920
Fox four it didn't want Steve coming
on the show. Oh God, I'm

460
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:38.400
gonna throw you a life preserver.
Okay, I'm gonna throw you a life

461
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:44.079
preserver. So how else? How
else has your schedule been so crazy lately?

462
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.799
What else have you been up to? Yeah? No, so it's

463
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:47.759
been good. Honestly. I get
up at two in the morning, I'm

464
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:52.519
at the station by three. The
newscast starts at four, UM, I

465
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:54.920
because I have my regular job that
I have to do. Also, I'm

466
00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:00.680
really fortunate that they allow me to
then do that job, which means I

467
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.920
can also be home before my kids
even wake up for the day, UM,

468
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.000
get them ready, to get them
off to school, and then kind

469
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:09.280
of return to work. UM.
So it's actually, um, it's it's

470
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:14.159
it's it's been great um. And
it's a really nice it's a nice place

471
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:16.239
to visit right like you get the
itch scratch. I don't know that I,

472
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:21.360
you know, would want that is
my permanent schedule because you know that

473
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.280
the sleep situation does become a little
cumbersome. But it's it's fun. It's

474
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:28.440
a fun morning. And you know, Shannon and Hannah are both are both

475
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.719
super fun to work with. UM. I honestly think that we um.

476
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:35.440
I mean the best stuff is during
the commercial breaks. I mean, because

477
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.960
we just are like a couple of
Yenta's out there, you know, catching

478
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.599
up on you know whatever else.
So UM, but yeah, no,

479
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.119
it's the it's been good. I
was just actually doing a charity event with

480
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:51.840
Shannon on UM when Wednesday last week. It was for Reliant Energy. They

481
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:57.039
do a home run derby, So
the yend liners are the Dallas Cowboys.

482
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.519
Um, that's like what the people
show up for. Right before that starts,

483
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:05.760
they have like a media league where
all of these media people, um

484
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.079
go up in batum. So it
was like this year, I don't know,

485
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:13.079
do you know Bree and Ranthus from
Sports Illustrated, Um, Shannon,

486
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:17.159
the sports guy from Channel five,
the weather guy from Channel eight, whether

487
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:21.119
one of the other meteorologist from URNE
eleven Hawkeye was one of the people.

488
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:23.639
Are you not allowed to say the
names of personalities other news stations? Like

489
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:25.960
when you say that, like the
sports guy at Channel five, do you

490
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:30.559
mean NEWI scrugs, No, well
Newie works. I mean a minute,

491
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.920
is he still here? Yeah?
I got him? Um No, Actually,

492
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:37.440
you know what, So I butchered
this guy's name. It took me

493
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.960
until like the tenth his tenth swing
for someone to like, somebody shouted it

494
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:45.400
enough times that I finally heard it. I don't know why I thought Pat's

495
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:52.119
last name was Doooney. Uh,
it's not. Um, it's And I'm

496
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.000
so tripped up in my mind about
it that I still don't know if it's

497
00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:00.280
Donnie or Donnie. UM, I
believe it any way, He wons Um,

498
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.880
he probably thinks that he probably thinks
that you hate him. No,

499
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:07.639
we actually had a nice moment talking
about his son and his charity and whatever.

500
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:13.960
Super nice guy. UM. And
then the meteorologists from UH eight whether

501
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:19.360
guy Kyle I think his name was
UM. Really it just goes by Kyle.

502
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.280
But I don't just say that to
be shady. But like people were

503
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.199
always like, oh, you know, like like so the media all just

504
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:29.400
from KTVT. We were talking about
um, you know, being up early,

505
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:30.719
Shannon and I, UM, and
I was like, we should give

506
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.119
Shannon an extra thousand dollars because she
got up so early, and she was

507
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.519
the girl was like, I do
mornings also, and I was like,

508
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.440
oh, I mean I'm either on
the air or I'm sleeping, so I

509
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:44.840
don't really tune in, you know, to the other shows to see,

510
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:47.639
you know, like what like who's
on the air. You know, it's

511
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:52.519
an a thing to say, Yeah, you have to say, I can't

512
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:55.360
watch, right, I can't watch. Her eyes are all bloodshot, she's

513
00:36:55.360 --> 00:37:00.719
shaking because she's overcaffeinated, wishing for
an extra thousand dollars you know, Um,

514
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:02.760
yeah, no, but it was
good, so I, uh,

515
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.320
you know, I I think you're
familiar with my sports prowess. I did

516
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.280
not that, Um, but I
did not, you know. I mean,

517
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:14.840
that's a lot of trauma. Let's
let's just call it. I mean

518
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:19.679
that's like, oh god, I
mean that's like you're supposed to be hitting

519
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:23.480
the baseball but instead you're taking swings
at the meteorologists at other stations. Like

520
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:27.079
I'm supposed to be hitting the baseball, but instead I'm like picking flowers in

521
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:30.159
the outfield. I mean, this
is my childhood, right, you know,

522
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.840
you know your place is behind a
microphone. Oh right, Like let's

523
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.840
you know you you you know your
skill set and that's that. But what

524
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.400
was funny about it was so I
didn't realize that I would also be responsible

525
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:47.039
for like color commentary during the home
run derby, and there's a lot of

526
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:52.400
downtime, Like there's a lot of
filler like between like swinging and the next

527
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:57.199
pitch. And you know what,
you found out the hard way. The

528
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:01.119
one thing that's more difficult than playing
baseball is talking baseball. Yeah, I

529
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:05.000
mean, and I don't at least
it was baseball football. My god,

530
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:08.760
I would have been totally lost,
But luckily Doug has made me watch Major

531
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.599
League like a thousand times. So
I was pretty much holding all of my

532
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:17.480
color commentary. Too bad half that
movie you can't say on TV right exactly?

533
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:22.199
You know, swayamous? You know
so well, the next time they

534
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.719
do something like that and they try
to make you do something sports, you

535
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:27.599
give us a call. We'll give
you hand. We'll come in there and

536
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.639
give you some color commentary and give
get a great that very nice jersey they

537
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:34.400
gave you, like a reliant baseball
jersey. So I'm feeling pretty special.

538
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.880
Um And of course, so I
was there on behalf of Grant Haliburton Foundation,

539
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:43.440
which is an amazing charity that deals
with team suicide and mental health.

540
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:45.880
UM. So they were kind enough
to donate money to them as well,

541
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:50.079
even though I was not one of
the people because the media folks who were

542
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.719
there, um, you bat and
based on the never hits you get and

543
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.360
where they end up, you get
certain increments of cash for your charity.

544
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:02.360
So it was a pretty cool event. Competition a check. Why do they

545
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:05.639
do that? Why do they tie
it to competition? Why not just you

546
00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.840
know, cut everyone a big ass
check, like it's It's always kind of

547
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.280
struck on me. It's sad.
Like, you know, somebody goes on

548
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.559
wheel of Fortune and you know,
does horribly and now their charity gets gets

549
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:20.280
you know, less than than the
guy who was over there kicking ass on

550
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:22.360
the other side. I know what
you mean. He's like, like,

551
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.719
if if someone's out there and they're
trying to compete and they're they're you know,

552
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:29.679
participating on behalf of the kids from
Shiners or Shriners, and that kid

553
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:34.760
from Shriners doesn't get the new arm. Well, everyone did get money for

554
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.159
showing up, and then there was
kind of money on top of you know,

555
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:40.320
so um yeah, it was a
cool and if it was that um

556
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:45.280
where the rough Riders play, which
is a really beautiful facility. Um,

557
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.079
so it was nice to be able
to to be up there and uh in

558
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:52.719
Frisco. That was go ahead,
stee, No, that's it. How

559
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.440
did you get started with the Grant
Haliburton Foundation? By the way, you

560
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:59.519
know that I went to high school
with the founder of that, right Amy,

561
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:04.079
with Vanita? Oh well with her
daughter Amy. Um yeah, no,

562
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:08.199
yeah, Amy, who is like
Alphie help old dark one. Vanita?

563
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:13.800
Um yeah, no, a friend
of mine actually does. And I'm

564
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:17.280
going to butcher his title, but
I think he does like development for them

565
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:20.480
and he had asked me years ago, Hey, would you m see an

566
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:22.199
event for us, and I was
like, yeah, sure, like of

567
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:27.320
course. Um. And I've gotten
to know Amy and Vanita and their family

568
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:31.000
Grants um, you know, sister
and mom um, over the years and

569
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:37.599
they it is one of the most
well organized charities. And it's it's such

570
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:39.760
boots on the ground action. I
mean, they are in the schools,

571
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.079
they are helping kids, they are
helping families there. I mean, it

572
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.199
really is amazing. And of course
the story about Grant and how he died

573
00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:50.920
and you know by you know,
by suicide. UM, I mean we

574
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:54.280
just had there. So so I've
am seed a bunch of their events.

575
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:58.320
UM. The most one, the
one most recently was the Beacon of Hope

576
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:02.199
luncheon and Dak Prescott and Solomon Thomas
were the special guests, um, you

577
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:06.400
know, because both of them have
you know, mental health stuff in their

578
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.960
families. UM. It was great. The sports anchor from CBS eleven was

579
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:15.360
kind of the moderator for that part
of the conversation. UM. I think

580
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:17.079
we had like seven hundred people for
lunch at the Omni. It was really

581
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:22.320
a beautiful Um. Event and it
raised a ton of money. So I've

582
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.039
been with them for a long time. Are you worried that Scott Murray is

583
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:29.159
going to take a hit out on
you? You know, I haven't seen

584
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:34.079
Scott Murray in a long time.
Um, but I see him. I

585
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:39.119
see him like once a week.
It eats. He's oh do you he's

586
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:43.880
thinner, but his tu pay is
fuller? So wait does so if you're

587
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:45.559
seeing if you're seeing Scott Murray,
it eats, he's does eats. He's

588
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:50.039
like need an MC all the time? Is either like announcing people's sandwiches as

589
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:54.559
they're coming through. That's not an
MC. That just means you worked there,

590
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:59.239
Scott. I mean talk about people
who it's like looking at the sun.

591
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.079
I mean you said Steve Eager earlier. I mean I feel like Scott's

592
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:06.239
Scott's he has that, like,
you know, the charisma of like a

593
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:10.920
William Shatner and miss congeniality. I
mean, you know, I actually I

594
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:14.880
number one, I agree with you. Number two. I actually saw Scott

595
00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:17.440
Murray at a at a Blockbuster on
two years ago, and and you're right,

596
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:21.079
it really was. It's like,
man, he's walking around the store,

597
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:24.400
you know, pointing out Ethernet cables
like they just won the swimsuit competition,

598
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:30.559
right, Um, yeah, yeah, he's a he's a good guy

599
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:32.159
and does quite a bit for for
charity as well, which is nice.

600
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:36.239
Yeah. So that's that's that where
we know we're working on some stuff Raoul

601
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:37.719
as well, He says, Hi, Um, we don't get to spend

602
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:42.760
as much time together right now because
of our differing schedules, but all all

603
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:47.000
as well. Uh, it's a
real quick trey. Raoul is Steve Novaeo,

604
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:53.400
Steve Noviello's personal photographer. He's he's
the one that I work with most

605
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:58.320
often and that I prefer to work
with because he's the one that doesn't get

606
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:04.880
to work unless Novaello calls him out
of the cave. And he's really funny,

607
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:07.360
Like we just have a really fun
time. We spent a lot of

608
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.800
time together. It's like having it's
like being a cop and having like a

609
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:12.760
partner, you know what I mean. Like you spent a lot of time

610
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.400
in the car, a lot of
time talking about stuff. I mean,

611
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:17.760
it's it's a pretty you know.
Um. And he's he's really funny and

612
00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:22.440
he's a good guy. He's a
very good dude. Yeah, so you

613
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.880
had mentioned I think you went you
went to the zoo recently with with your

614
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:29.679
family. Did you bring Raoul along
or did you make him stay in the

615
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.119
car. No, So this was
a field I was shap running a field

616
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:37.960
trip for my son's kindergarten class.
And uh, it was great, it

617
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:39.119
was I didn't well. So first
of all, I didn't realize it was

618
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:42.519
like when I was a kid,
like you went on a field trip and

619
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.519
like the whole class hung out together, and they were like several parents there

620
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:49.000
that like made sure nothing out of
a hand. So this was like we

621
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:52.360
got as signed a couple of kids
each. Um. And not only was

622
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.519
it just my son's class, but
it was the entire kindergarten. And apparently

623
00:43:55.559 --> 00:44:00.360
it was like field trip day at
the zoo because they were like hundreds of

624
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:02.519
kids there from all sorts of schools. But it was a good time.

625
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:06.559
Um. And I'll tell you the
I mean, in full disclosure. The

626
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.119
only thing more annoying than your child
asking you to buy the ice cream every

627
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:13.960
five seconds is somebody else's kid asking
you about the ice cream. Oh god,

628
00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:17.119
other people's kids, Like I don't
know, Like I don't know,

629
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:21.360
like I mean for all I know, like I worked the cafeteria line at

630
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:24.400
the school, like I volunteer there. Like it'll come up like you know,

631
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:27.960
no gluten, you know, and
the kids got like a peanut butter

632
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.519
and jelly sandwich. I'm like,
hey, like it says you're not supposed

633
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:32.599
to eat that. And I'll be
like, now you're fine, Like I

634
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:37.920
mean eating away child that is not
mine right, like I you know,

635
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.360
I mean if it was a peanut
allergy, then maybe I would be a

636
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:45.920
little bit more. But I was
like yeah, I so you know again,

637
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:46.679
So like when a kid's like,
oh, will you buy me?

638
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:51.320
You know whatever, I'm like,
I don't like it. I don't know

639
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:53.199
if your mom wants you having such
Like I'm not your parents. That's not

640
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.840
the decision I can make for you. Yeah. Now, was there a

641
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:00.599
did your kids have a favorite animal
at the zoo or if favor exhibit?

642
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.000
Um, So there's like a play
it was really hot. So there was

643
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:07.199
like a playground with water that they
really liked. They we did feed the

644
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.400
giraffe. We paid the six dollars
for a piece of lettuce and fed the

645
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:17.440
giraffe. Uh So they liked that
certainly, see did you see the nude

646
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:22.480
uh dinosaur exhibit? We did.
We went through the dinosaur exhibit. That

647
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:27.639
was pretty cool about I kept telling
you because they were like petting them,

648
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.440
which you're not really supposed to do. So I was saying to them that

649
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:34.440
there's one of them that's actually real, and you won't figure it out until

650
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:37.119
you touch the wrong one and it
bites your hand off. I love how

651
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:44.559
you parents immediately stopped the petting of
the dinosaur, and then at the end

652
00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:46.880
they were like, which one was
it? Like you said one of them

653
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:50.719
was alive. I don't know.
They don't tell the parents either. We

654
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:52.960
it's all a surprise for all of
I don't know. I guess you know

655
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:55.880
you should go ask that kid with
the one armed, see which one it

656
00:45:57.039 --> 00:46:01.519
was? One from Shriner's exactly.
Did you did you see the hippo exhibit?

657
00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:05.199
You know what? We didn't,
although one of the kids was like,

658
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.119
I want to see the hippos and
I was like, they're not here

659
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:12.159
today. It was so hot.
We were like four hours in at this

660
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.480
point. I was like, we're
we're good, buddy. Oh. I

661
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:17.079
would have should have taken the kids
there because then you could explain to the

662
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:22.280
I'm watching the hippo's poop. How
that works? Did they have you?

663
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:25.800
Have you differently than other animals?
Oh? My gosh. If y'all never

664
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:30.800
seen the so hippo's large, you
know, huge animals. They have a

665
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:36.440
little tiny tail and when they poop, that tail goes wild and it looks

666
00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:38.599
like, you know, a spreader, like if you were fertilizing your yard.

667
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:40.920
That's what they do with their poop. And that tail goes wild and

668
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:45.679
it just spreads all over the place. It's a fascinating and gross. Are

669
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:51.199
they like a pellet like a deer? Or are they more of Ah?

670
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:53.239
Wow? Is it? Is it
more like? What? Okay? Why

671
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:58.960
am I asking this? Is it
more like a spray? Yes? Is

672
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:01.400
it like kids in the middle of
Hill's kitchen in the summer and like popping

673
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:05.800
a fire extinguisher. It's like if
you were ever really hung over in eight

674
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:12.599
taco bell the night before. I
know exactly what you mean. I know

675
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.800
that all too well. If you're
in the treehouse, sweet Dan, O'Malley

and again the website Brooks Plumbing Texas
dot com. Hi Jacqueline, Hello,

682
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:57.639
So I was wondering, I think
you told me this before. What percentage

683
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:02.599
of homes have a leak and the
homeowner just doesn't know about it? Oh?

684
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:07.639
Okay, so there's I don't think
that there's a real statistic out there,

685
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:10.840
but in the DFW metroplex, I
my assumption, my guestimate would be

686
00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:15.440
probably about fifty fifty. And it's
actually a really fun story because I just

687
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:20.679
bought a new house for myself in
July of last year, and I asked

688
00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:22.440
the seller. I said, I
really want to take a look at the

689
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.320
sewer system specifically, because if you're
gonna have a leak in Texas, it's

690
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:29.199
more likely that you've got a sewer
leak that you don't know about versus a

691
00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:30.639
water leak, because if you had
a water leak, your water bell would

692
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:35.559
be high et cetera, et cetera. But so he gave me permission to

693
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:37.760
test the sewer and it came back
and there was a leak. Well,

694
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:42.800
there was actually a leak smack dab
in the middle of the house. And

695
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:45.199
they were like, well, it's
just not possible. It's all PVC,

696
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:49.800
it's already been replaced because it was
originally cast iron. I'm like, no,

697
00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:52.760
it leaks, and they did not
believe it. They got their own

698
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:55.480
company to come out there and take
a look at it. Their company confirmed,

699
00:48:55.480 --> 00:49:00.480
indeed there was a leak, and
we were able to actually negotiate a

700
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:04.000
handful of money off the final sale
price of that house. But these these

701
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:06.840
sellers had been in that house,
living in it for years, had no

702
00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:10.039
idea there was a leak. And
most people don't don't find out they've got

703
00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:14.280
a leak until all of a sudden
there's a backup. You do not want

704
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:16.119
to be ankle deep in sewage.
But if you end up ankle deep in

705
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:21.519
sewage, I can fix it.
So don't don't let it ruin your day.

706
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:24.840
Yeah, you want you want your
andy do frame story to be your

707
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:30.320
idea as opposed to it just kind
of happening to you and next thing you

708
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:32.840
know, you're next to a poop
fountain. So uh, I don't know

709
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:35.880
if you want to use this on
the side of your vans or anything,

710

00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:52.800
That is again Brooks Plumbing Texas dot
Com for any and all of your plumbing

740
00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:57.719
needs. Jacqueline. She's the owner
of Brooks Plumbing. She knows her stuff,

741
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:01.320
and she's making a smarter about plumbing
every time we speak to her.

742
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:06.719
Now, totally unrelated to plumbing,
let's welcome back in Steve Noviella from Fox

743
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:12.199
four into the treehouse. So,
as semi promised, I'm going to try

744
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:15.760
to see if I cannot make you
cringe too much more before we let you

745
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:20.920
go. But I'm not the best
to keep in my promises. That you

746
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:28.440
mean you're a liar again. It's
all about perspective. Okay, Yeah,

747
00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:30.000
Steve, have you ever heard of
a game that we've played on the show

748
00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:32.920
for many, many years? Why
are you afraid? What? What did

749
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:39.159
I say? God? Okay,
are you familiar with the little game on

750
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:45.800
the show that we've played for years
called could the answer BC now perfect?

751
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:50.920
It doesn't matter because the answer is
always see there's no trick to this.

752
00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:54.119
That's really just the rules of the
game. It's the world's dumbest game.

753
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:59.000
That's why we play it's it's easy. So I'm going to ask you a

754
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:01.639
series of multiple questions. I'm going
to read all the multiple choices, and

755
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:06.519
the answer is always going to be
C. Okay, okay, all right,

756
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:07.960
Alphie, you have the fancy intro. So it looks like we're slick.

757
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:15.119
Ye ready you'll it's time to play
the game that it wasn't slick.

758
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:20.039
It wasn't slick. Now it's time
to play the game that even a dumb,

759
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:24.360
dipsh fucking moron could win. Let's
play. Could the answer be C?

760
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:30.880
And now here's your host, Dad, old Mally. Thank you,

761
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:34.280
thank you, thank you very much. Yes, any of those descriptions are

762
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:37.360
obviously qualifying you to play this game, including you, Steve Nova Yellow.

763
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:42.559
You might be you might be really
hitting below the Mendoza line on this one,

764
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:45.480
but that's a baseball reference, by
the way, Yeah over my head,

765
00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:51.679
I didn't get it. Huh.
All right, So here we are

766
00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:53.400
again. I'm going to read you
a number of multiple choice questions. You

767
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:57.239
give me the answer, but it's
easy. The answer I've already given you

768
00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:00.079
C C all right cool, Are
you ready? I'm ready, all right,

769
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:05.960
here we go. There are number
one. There are some ridiculously hot

770
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:10.320
anchors and reporters who work at Fox
four. But the one, the one

771
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:16.679
who is the most attractive, is
clearly a Steve Eager, B Knabata or

772
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:22.320
C. Steve Noviello. I'm gonna
go with C. Johnny. That is

773
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.719
correct, Manin' not Johnny. I
feel like it should be for this segment.

774
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:30.079
I'm just gonna fine. If you
want to role play with me,

775
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:35.559
Steve, we can do. Dan
O'Malley, that's me. Dan O'Malley keeps

776
00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:40.599
adding things to his resume. His
newest addition is a broadcaster that's cold B

777
00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:51.559
wedding efficient or C catalingus master with
Dan Lex's cat from time to time.

778
00:54:52.239 --> 00:55:00.679
I'm gonna go with D. It's
best Steve that you don't ask eat it.

779
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:01.119
No, no, no, no, you're good, you're good.

780
00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:05.199
No. I don't want Steve.
Yeah, Steve doesn't need any extra context

781
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:07.079
to that. No, No,
that's it's better because we want to make

782
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:12.840
sure he leaves the treehouse with a
Job's still it Fox. For number three,

783
00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:15.920
Trey, Trey is a good son, such a good son. He

784
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:21.639
took his Trey, how old is
your mom? Seventy eight? Trey is

785
00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:23.800
a good son, so good.
In fact, he took his seventy eight

786
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:28.480
year old mother to the doctor recently
to make sure that she is a healthy,

787
00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:32.599
B, cancer free or C not
pregnant. I'm gonna go with C.

788
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:38.639
Not that is correct, but it's
technically true. When he's not podcasting,

789
00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:44.880
Daniel Malley spends his time a relaxing
on the beach, be exercising,

790
00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:50.199
and writing his memoirs or see photoshopping
iguanas in the pictures of his double wide

791
00:55:50.199 --> 00:55:57.199
lot in Punka City, Oklahoma.
I go with Punka City. Let me

792
00:55:57.239 --> 00:56:00.840
know if you ever want to come
visit, we'll we'll ready the extra extra

793
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:07.079
you know, pod for you.
Alphie Coy has decided to start dating more

794
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:14.320
by using amatch dot com, b
meeting women in bars or see his ex's

795
00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:16.079
phone numbers, and the hopes that
maybe he can lend some pity sex.

796
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:22.280
That's a that's a tough one.
I thought. I'm gonna go with C.

797
00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:25.880
That's correct him. I'm glad,
see, I know, I know

798
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:29.119
that every time the answer see,
but we still try to make it,

799
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:31.000
you know, difficult. It could
be different one of these days. It

800
00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:37.719
could maybe any of them. Rodney
Anderson my lender for life, Rodney Anderson

801
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.559
from Rodney Anderson dot Com. Rodney
Anderson is A the official lender of the

802
00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:49.480
Treehouse, B A juggernaut in the
lending realm. Or see the subject of

803
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:53.280
this Obvious and Horrors plug in the
middle of a segment, I'm gonna get

804
00:56:53.559 --> 00:57:00.199
with C. And for everyone that's
ever wondered how do I make money and

805
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:02.719
podcasting, that's it right there.
You just gotta hol yourself out. A

806
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:07.920
new study has found that this is
the quickest way to go to prison.

807
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:14.239
Is it a selling fittil B human
trafficking or C being a doctor on this

808
00:57:14.280 --> 00:57:21.280
show. I'm sorry being a what
on this show? A doctor? Doctor?

809
00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:27.559
C? Absolutely that is correct,
Thank you, thank you. It

810
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:31.800
appears Trey what's wrong about his ex
girlfriend being bad with money? Because A,

811
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:36.840
well she's no good, dirty liar. B she put money in her

812
00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:40.800
kid's college fund, or C she
saved up all the money Trey gave her

813
00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:45.840
over the years and used that money
to buy her new Porsche. Let's go

814
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:51.599
with the Porsche. C. That
is correct, and that is a little

815
00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:57.119
true, little true. Nothing turns
Dan on more. Oh God, nothing

816
00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:00.800
turns Dan on more than hearing a
the sweet voice of his wife, b

817
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:15.039
having a great show, or ce
cat got your tom. See that is

818
00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:22.719
good. Yet we'll explain that to
you one of these days. Alfie did

819
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.920
not put much effort into writing this
joke because A he's supporting the w g

820
00:58:27.079 --> 00:58:30.239
A writer strike and doesn't want to
be called a scab. B he used

821
00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:34.360
all his funny on the iguana joke. Or see he learned at the Russ

822
00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:46.400
Martin School of lazy punch lines.
That is true. We all we all

823
00:58:46.440 --> 00:58:53.760
went to the same school. Trey
has been in an unusually good mood lately,

824
00:58:53.840 --> 00:58:59.400
making everyone wonder if A he got
laid, b he found another job,

825
00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:05.679
or c has anyone seen his mother
lately? I'm gonna go with the

826
00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:09.639
not pregnant mother. See that is
that is correct? Very good? Uh?

827
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:12.880
Like we have just two more?
Steve, all right? You ready?

828
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:20.119
Yeah? Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom
is a overpaid be a huge disappointment

829
00:59:20.119 --> 00:59:22.800
that did not live up to the
hype. Or see setting himself up to

830
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:32.320
be the newest show on ninety seven
one. Oh, we know what he's

831
00:59:32.320 --> 00:59:37.599
thinking. He sees you really got
to watch your back there and finally,

832
00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:42.239
all right, see if here we
go, last one, last one to

833
00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:45.920
see if you win, Steve nove
Yellow, That is you, Steve Noviello

834
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:49.119
Fox four. Such a good dude
you are. By the way, Steve

835
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:53.480
nove Yellow is a really good dude. But but if he decided to go

836
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:59.039
bad and blackmail one of his co
workers, who does he have the most

837
00:59:59.079 --> 01:00:01.599
dirt on? Is it a tell
us? Give us a name, Steve?

838
01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:05.719
Is it b If you don't tell
us, we'll make something up and

839
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:12.039
say you said it, or see, give us a name. You know,

840
01:00:12.239 --> 01:00:15.880
the best part about being the gay
guy in the office is everyone gossips

841
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:23.800
with you. So so what you're
saying is you could become a billionaire by

842
01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:30.840
blackmailing, and everybody at foxs for
congratulations. Steve Noviella, you have absolutely
