00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.239
It feels good. It feels good
to be in this treehouse. I'm donal

2
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:34.679
ally along with friends, co workers. At one point, Tray Trenholme and

3
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:43.320
Alphie Coy Hello. I never like
to just assume or presume that you guys

4
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.240
have seen certain things on social media
that I've posted, or maybe that my

5
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.280
wife has posted. I think Trey
typically does, but Alphie likes to be

6
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:56.719
more reclusive when it comes to social
media, and the things that I think,

7
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.520
Alphie, you typically interact with are
the things that are, you know,

8
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.399
that you consider to be cool.
So I don't know if what we're

9
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:08.879
doing now is is high up on
your cool meter. It should be,

10
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.719
you think, so, yeah,
y'all are picking up chicks. Oh,

11
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.959
the boat guy finally convinced you to
join that lifestyle. You know what,

12
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.519
Alfie, this is one of those
times I know how you feel when I

13
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:33.079
use bad puns. Sucks, doesn't
it? Even I'm embarrassed to that one.

14
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.319
You're embarrassed, but you're also really, really proud. I can see

15
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.680
it. It's it's all in your
face. You're like, yeah, it's

16
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.159
screw it. I'll say it.
Yes, we have we have gotten back

17
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.239
in. We have gotten back into
Jesus. We've got back into the chicken

18
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:57.040
game. So this has nothing to
do with the boatman. The boat man.

19
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.480
No, no, this has nothing
to do with the boat although interestingly,

20
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:07.760
the chickens that we got came from
a boat lady. And in the

21
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.199
future, you know, y'all do
have the ability now to say, hey,

22
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.599
come back to our place. We
make chickens. We don't make chickens,

23
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:23.080
tray, we just we just acquired
chickens and they make eggs, and

24
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.560
then and then I'll make eggs,
but I don't. I don't make chickens.

25
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.159
You get the right ratio hens,
the roosters, you'll you make it

26
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:36.400
chicks. Yeah, I'm not really. Our fingers are still crossed on that.

27
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.919
So we did this this uh,
this past week. There's a lady

28
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.280
who lives on a boat right off
of Water Island, which is one of

29
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.879
the four US Virgin Islands. Water
Island, Yeah, it's right next to

30
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.439
u It's on the south, just
south of Saint Thomas. It's next to

31
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.960
Dirt Island. There's not a dirt
island, Alfie, they're all dirt island.

32
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.960
Well, yeah, these are rock
He lives on a boat. She

33
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.840
lives on a boat and she raises
chickens, and so just just imagine what

34
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:15.599
that must be like. It's sort
of like the Beverly Hillbillies, but you

35
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:20.960
know, on a yacht. She
raises chickens on a boat. Yes,

36
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.199
that's why I said, we got
chickens from a boat, lady. But

37
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.919
and it had nothing to do with
that, you know, weird old boat

38
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.039
dude. And you couldn't. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if

39
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.560
we've ever discussed this or not,
but there are numerous wild chickens in and

40
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.879
around your property. You couldn't just
corral some of them, Trey. It's

41
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:50.919
taken every ounce of energy I have
and effort to keep Tara from doing just

42
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.960
that. Why and it's it And
it's been close a couple of times,

43
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.360
because there was a time, I
think it was last year, we were

44
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.280
here and in the driveway, like
we're at the top of the stairs that

45
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.680
go down into the driveway, and
at the top of the stairs, Terras

46
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.840
stops and lifts her head up,
and I can tell she's heard something.

47
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.439
She heard chipp heard baby chickens,
and she could tell they were close.

48
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:18.120
So she threw all of her stuff
that she had in her hands to the

49
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:25.040
ground and scampered down the stairs,
made a hairpin, turned to the left

50
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.040
and found two baby chicks cowering in
a corner because they were afraid of two

51
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:35.879
iguanas who were giving them the side
eye across the street. We did not

52
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.600
keep them. We had to relocate
them to like a like a chicken colony,

53
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.480
like ten minutes away. Why not
you had free, free chickens right

54
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.079
there. I understand that, and
it was easy. They were right there.

55
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.000
She picked him up, she held
them, and because they know,

56
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:56.439
they were terrified of these of these
you know, island dragons, and we

57
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.319
weren't in a position to keep them
because we weren't living here. So we

58
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.279
couldn't, you know, do something
with these chickens and then just leave them

59
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.600
and then have nothing or no one
to care for them. I was about

60
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.839
to say, because it seems like
it would take a lot for you to

61
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:16.279
get Tarata not keep two baby chicks. The only thing that kept it from

62
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.240
happening was the fact that we didn't
live here, and she she knew logically

63
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:26.120
it was not it did not make
sense how much she did stay a couple

64
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.399
of times. We could just go
ahead and move here now, right as

65
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.120
she's holding the chickens and holding them
in front of my face, She's like,

66
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.079
we could just I could just stay. How much did you pay for

67
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.360
these chickens, Dan, that you
got from boat lady? I don't know.

68
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.720
Tara didn't tell me. You have
to have seen some sort of credit

69
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.639
card record or cash exchanged. Nope, separate accounts. I have no idea

70
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.759
what she paid for these chickens,
but it was her money, whatever it

71
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.560
was. How much would a chicken
like this cost on the market? What's

72
00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:00.079
the market value of? Tell me
Dan, where did chickens close that today?

73
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:05.600
Probably higher than than the dal Jones
Um. I don't know what the

74
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:10.439
going rate is for chickens here.
I'll have to ask her. But I

75
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:15.480
know for similar breeds that that we
that we bought in Texas when we first

76
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:23.519
got into chicken ing, I think
they were like thirty, thirty or forty

77
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:29.720
dollars each. Yeah, so you
guys got two? No, we have

78
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.879
six? Oh my god. Yeah. So Trey is right. There are

79
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:41.519
chickens run a muck on these islands. They are everywhere. They are the

80
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.920
absolute definition of free range. Actually
there's not It's it's not even fair to

81
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.680
say free range, because even free
range makes it sound like they, you

82
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.160
know, come in for the evening. No, they're just out. They're

83
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.959
everywhere. You have feral chickens,
yes it is. Yeah, yeah,

84
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.279
you're right, feral chickens. And
so those are those are the street chickens.

85
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.759
Those are like the street thugs,
right, So they're not the they're

86
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:09.120
not the quality chickens that you want
in your yard right there. They don't

87
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:14.600
want to fa underneath their chicken eyes. Yeah they got yeah, they got

88
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.759
the little egg drops underneath their eyes. They've you know, got the knives

89
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:24.240
on their feet and stuff. Seem
like you one at least one for security.

90
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.759
Yeah, I'll see how it goes. Where's your out because you know

91
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.959
how it is. I mean,
if you get a bunch of these domestic

92
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:36.800
chickens in our yard, eventually some
big bad Farrell roosters gonna be like,

93
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.800
hey, yeah, I see over
here, and maybe he just moves in.

94
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.199
Have you already built a chicken coop? Uh? Not a full blown

95
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.600
coop yet, because there's still baby
chicks. They were only born like a

96
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.800
week ago, if that so right
now, we're just we have them in

97
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.120
a and we have them in an
enclosure. That has like brick pavers on

98
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.720
all four sides, and then like
a top that we've put on the top.

99
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:18.839
So, uh, when will you
be installing your cock camera? You're

100
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.920
proud again, You're so so proud
of yourself. The cock cam tray is

101
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:30.639
already operational, thank you very much. We had a we had and this

102
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.600
is not intended. It's just what
it's called. We had an additional nest

103
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.679
cam that wasn't being used. So
no, Alphie, that's that's not a

104
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:46.240
joke. It's just it's what it's
called. It's a nest cam. I

105
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.799
didn't call it an egg drop cam, which I could have. That's not

106
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.639
a pun. But some of them
are called drop cams. Oh, I

107
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.840
see, yeah, that's all.
Yeah. Anyway, No, that the

108
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.480
chicken camera went in the same day
that we got the actual chickens tree.

109
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.080
I've even got the notifications when there's
motion, and believe me, when there's

110
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:13.399
motion on what Tara has titled the
chicki Cam, she is on it.

111
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.759
She's got to make sure nothing is
near those baby chickens. Ye ta take

112
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.440
some tips and advice from Everett with
his owl cam, No, because he

113
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.879
doesn't have any owls yet. So
I think so far. Tara's kind of

114
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.879
got a got a one clock up
on every Oh my god, I'm going

115
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:41.120
back here. Yeah, okay,
yeah, it's fun sometimes like yeah,

116
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.200
but no, no, So we
got the chickens back because I don't know,

117
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.919
we still get people asking us questions
about what happened to your chickens because

118
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.240
when they find out that we moved, I guess they did. They've missed

119
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.360
all the times we had said on
the radio that right before the Big Freeze

120
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.440
in twenty twenty one, we had
given the chickens. We had two friends

121
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.840
of ours who live in Arlington,
because we knew that we were going to

122
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.759
be selling our house. We knew
that we were going to be moving into

123
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.480
an RV for a little while while
while we decided our next steps. And

124
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:20.440
we couldn't have the chickens at an
RV. That was no, So they

125
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.320
went. We moved them to Arlington
by Lake Arlington with friends of ours.

126
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.639
So we were chickenless for you know, a couple of years. But now

127
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.039
now that we're we're sort of settled
in here. Tara found the chicken on

128
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.840
a boat, lady, and now
we've got six new chicks. They were

129
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.919
eventually eat those chickens. Now,
why not you mean the chickens we had

130
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.600
previously. Yeah. No, I'm
not saying did you, I'm saying do

131
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.480
you do? People like, is
that part of the chicken life cycle?

132
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.720
You get a chicken, it lays
a bunch of eggs, and once it

133
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.720
hits a certain age, you're just
like, all right, I'm eating you.

134
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.519
That is standard I would say standard
for you know, farms and ranches,

135
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:09.399
because if you have you have sort
of like your eating chickens, and

136
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.919
then you have your laying chickens,
and then once you're once your layers are

137
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.360
done laying, then yeah, you
probably eat eat them because they're no longer

138
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.759
producing. They're just costing you money. I see, um, but that's

139
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.799
not the route we're going. Taras
sees the chickens much more as pets.

140
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.720
Well, even though she and I
both grew up with plenty of headless chickens

141
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.919
running around that you know, in
the morning they were running around on two

142
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.240
legs and a head, and by
middle of the day they were, you

143
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.639
know, lunch. What did the
chicken ladies boat look like? I am

144
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:52.120
just absolutely befuddled by that. I
mean, as someone who has raised chickens,

145
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.320
and had a chicken coop with one
hundred and twenty chickens and know the

146
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:03.799
absolute nastiness that ensues. How how
how on a boat? I believe it's

147
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.480
I believe she's on a catamaran.
That doesn't answer the question, Dan,

148
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.240
you just no excuse me, Trey, it's a catamaran. No. Trey

149
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.039
asked what kind of boat she's on, So I said it's a catamaran.

150
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.000
No. The condition of her boat, Oh, I don't know. I

151
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.279
didn't see it. I mean,
I guess there's one thing. I mean,

152
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.879
I guess you can just hose the
damn thing off. But you just

153
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.200
you do is you just flip it
around in the water a couple of times,

154
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:35.960
it just rinses right off. Alphie, have you ever been around chickens?

155
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.799
I mean, I've seen a chicken, I mean, like, but

156
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.639
anyway they poo. Most recently,
when you went to that petting zoo in

157
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.720
Garland and you saw the goat ass
open up, yeah and drop things from

158
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.639
its insides. Where there any chickens
running around? There were not the portal

159
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:56.200
to oblivion inside that goat's ass did
not contain any any chickens. There were

160
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.120
no chickens at that farm. All
I've ever seen with chickens up close,

161
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.039
or I think they have some of
the State Fair, don't they, where

162
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.720
it's like, you know, here's
prize chickens and stuff like that. And

163
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.279
then there was that one chicken at
penny Whistle Park that used to play tik

164
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:15.679
tac toe against that I never beat
jackass. It's a very humbling experience,

165
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.399
Prick. I didn't know penny Whistle
Park was still around when you were in

166
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.159
your formative years, Alfie. Yeah, very was very very young before they

167
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:30.879
shut it down. But because because
that chicken broke so many young children's dreams.

168
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.279
Stupid chicken. How did it always
know? How did it always know

169
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.200
the right move to make? And
the other thing too, is it's picking

170
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.600
on little kids. I was no
more than maybe like four or five,

171
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.759
and this chicken's out here rocking me
with frigging grand master tik tac toe strategies.

172
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:56.759
Jackassed chicken. How old were you? Four or five? So your

173
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.679
first bully was this chicken, stupid
ass chicken, and find it, I'd

174
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:09.360
eat it, probably already dead,
jerk gass chicken. Yes it is yummy.

175
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:18.240
It is, yeah, very very
common here too. By the way,

176
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.399
Dan, you're not training any of
your chickens to play tick tectoe,

177
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:26.279
are you? Well? I am, I'm considering it now. They start

178
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:31.480
getting a big head, start thinking
that they're better than humans. Stupid ass

179
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:37.080
chicken. You guys want to be
teto. Yes, you you've never seen

180
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.840
this before? No? Oh my
god, there was a Okay, so

181
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.399
it's a and and I lived in
North Texas for like thirty years. It's

182
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.399
not just a North Texas thing.
It's it's a thing like a carnival thing.

183
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.879
I guess like every every town has
a bully chicken. I'm sure they

184
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.639
do. D Did you ever go
to Penny Whistle Park? No? I

185
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.600
don't, I think so, so
if I did, we can just add

186
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.039
it to the long list of things
I no longer remember. But yeah,

187
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.080
I don't mean, I don't even
I've heard of it, but I don't

188
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.080
know really what it is or where
it was. It was a small,

189
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:18.039
like almost amusement park, very small
micro amusement park inside of a warehouse on

190
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.399
Northwest Highway and Lake Highlands. I
think, who I'm sorry just by that

191
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:30.480
description. No parents now would would
take their kids to that it was it

192
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.159
was big enough because I think at
one point after Penny Whistle park it for

193
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.159
a brief minute it was like a
roller rink, so that should give you

194
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:45.399
some idea about the size of it. But it was basically a little indoor

195
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:52.480
amusement park that it was fantastic.
But like if I remember correctly, Alfie,

196
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.039
it seems like right when you walked
in, that chicken was almost front

197
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.600
and center taunting you. Yes,
and you had to pay to play it.

198
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.080
It was like fifty cents a dollar
or something like that to play this

199
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.360
chicken too. Yeah, yeah,
and you think, okay, this sounds

200
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.799
fun. I would love to show
my prowess as the top of the food

201
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.240
chain and really just shove it in
this chicken's face and beat its ass at

202
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.759
tic tac toe. And so you, as a five year old, decide

203
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.360
yes, I will spend a dollar
on this, and you put your quarters

204
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:26.360
in, and then the game starts
and the chicken just absolutely stomps your ass

205
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.159
every time. I think the best
you could hope for against that stupid ass

206
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.919
chicken was a maybe a draw like
the grand master of tic tac toe.

207
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.080
Imagine you versus Bobby Fisher and chess, but you gotta pay him twenty bucks

208
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.200
every time you play, and you
know he's going to kick your ass.

209
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.399
So I'm curious, then, so
did this chicken did it? Did it

210
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.159
play other games or is it solely
a tic tac toe thing, just tic

211
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.720
tac toe. I didn't know if
maybe it like branched out and would also

212
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:06.160
kick your ass at the claw game. I'm going back over here, Kray.

213
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:14.839
Let screw it. You're listening to
the Treehouse. Visit us online that

214
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:33.559
Treehouse on air dot com time not
a welcome in Rodney Anderson to the Treehouse.

215
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.200
His phone number what you're going to
need right now is nine seven two

216
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:41.640
five fifty two hundred. The website
is Rodney Anderson dot com. So,

217
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.640
Rodney, I noticed the other day
I was reading that the national average on

218
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:51.920
a home mortgage is now seven point
one percent. Now, obviously what happens

219
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.240
in North Texas is different than what
happens across the country. So I'm curious

220
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.039
what you're seeing in the market right
now in North Texas. Well, here's

221
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.000
what's basically happened, and Dan is, Yes, the interest rates have gone

222
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.200
up because debt ceiling talks, and
hopefully over the next week we get a

223
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.359
deal and we start seeing interest rates
move a little bit lower. But the

224
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:15.240
DFW metroplex is a lot different than
the housing market across the country. Across

225
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.920
the country, many housing markets are
really slowing down to a certain point.

226
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.319
The DFW metroplex is so hot right
now that we're seeing people make offers on

227
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.519
properties and they're competing against four or
five other offers. So the first thing

228
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:32.079
you need to do is make sure
you're fully preapproved. Why is that so

229
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:36.160
important? Sellers are want to o
are you for real? And I had

230
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.880
a buyer just the other day make
an offer on a property and the listing

231
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:44.119
agent, the person that had the
house for sale, called me three different

232
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.200
times to verify what I had on
these clients. And when I said,

233
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.960
they have excellent income, assets,
credit all I need to contract and I'm

234
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.319
ready to go, then she calls
me back a little bit later. Can

235
00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:00.359
you meet a June twenty second closing
day? Yes? Thirdly, how fast

236
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.960
can I get them fully underwritten and
fully approved? They're already there so than

237
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.359
then the next day I get a
contract on the home. So people don't

238
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.480
understand the quality of a lender DAN
is so important and the quality of the

239
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:17.799
lender that you're working with, because
many of these decisions of multiple offers are

240
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:22.200
being made based on who the lender
is and what their reputation is. Absolutely,

241
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.799
and I can speak from personal experience
because the very first house that my

242
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.720
wife and I bought in Carrolton years
ago, we used you, Rodney,

243
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.119
and the reason why, one of
the biggest reasons why we were able to

244
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.880
get that house for ourselves is because
we had you as our lender and we

245
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.480
had done all those things that you
just said because you told us to and

246
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:44.000
it paid off. That sounds like
a situation you want to be in.

247
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.160
So you need to give Rodney and
his team a call right now nine seven

248
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:52.519

I'm curious because I caught like the tail

257
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:45.799
end of something that you were telling
Trey earlier before we started the show.

258
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.039
What is it that that you want
to do? You want to eat the

259
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:49.839
rich? No, I don't want
to eat the rich. I'm just annoyed

260
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:56.319
at one lady, one stupid ass
lady. Oh what did you do?

261
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.519
I didn't do anything, really,
I was being a normal human being and

262
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.240
she was just rude. I was
okay, I'll play along. What did

263
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.240
she do? Okay? So I
was leaving North Park the other day,

264
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.000
there's your first problem. Well,
I was. I was in there shopping

265
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:18.279
doing you know, fashion photography stuff. And you spend more time at malls

266
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.720
now than I ever did as a
kid. And that was back when the

267
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.839
thing to do was go to the
mall. Oh yeah, it's it's part

268
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:30.880
of the gig. But um,
I was leaving the mall and I was

269
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:36.160
walking out and right in front of
right in front of the mall, there's

270
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.640
all this like, you know,
just parking where it's either valet or just

271
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.400
she had a really really good as
spot and I'm walking through the parking lot

272
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:47.519
towards my car. This is that
valet, like like the valet stand in

273
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:51.200
front of PF Chanins. Uh yeah, kind of exactly. And I just

274
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:52.960
saw her car park there, and
I don't know whose car it was.

275
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.519
All I saw was that it had
a funky license plate. And it was

276
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.400
curious to me because it was a
white range Over and it had a European

277
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.640
style license plate but with a Texas
license plate number right, So it's one

278
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.440
of the long European ones you see
in like James Bond movies, where it's

279
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.839
a bunch of numbers and letters and
looks all who you know. Yeah,

280
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.559
that was the first thing I thought, because when you say European license plates,

281
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.680
all I see is the one on
the Aston Martin that flips down and

282
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.440
then the guns come out, exactly
something like that. She had a European

283
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.920
style license plate on her range Rover
and on the left hand side it said

284
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:36.279
Texas and then a thingy. And
I was curious because I was under the

285
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:44.079
impression that that's not legal, that
you can't just go I've made my own

286
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.599
license plate. Here's the numbers.
You're welcome, officer. Was it on

287
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.559
the front or back? It was
on the back, and I was curious

288
00:22:52.599 --> 00:23:00.839
about it. And I'm walking past. I keep looking at the car,

289
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.519
going like, how is that legal? So I look at the front to

290
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.160
see if it has a license plate
on it and if it's the same European

291
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:10.440
style, and it doesn't and there's
no license plate at all. But while

292
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:14.079
I'm looking at it, I see
this woman walk up and start opening up

293
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.200
the side door. And I not
shout at her, but I, you

294
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.200
know, not hollow either. What's
a good word? I go, hey,

295
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:27.079
quick question, because I'm not shouting
at her. I'm not screaming at

296
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.839
her. I'm not hollowing at her
because that sounds like I'm hitting on her.

297
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.119
But I just go, hey,
quick question, right, just like

298
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:40.200
that, and this awful bitch just
gets in the car as quick as she

299
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.160
can, slams the door and just
shakes her head no at me. And

300
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:48.599
I'm like, you piece of trash, what the hell? Because you said

301
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.599
hey, yeah, exactly wait did
you said hey, quick question? Hey?

302
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.160
Quick question? Okay? And I'm
far enough away to where like if

303
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.000
she's worried about me. He worried
about me stealing her purse or something.

304
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.759
Crap. No, there's also police
there. There's almost always police by this

305
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:11.119
entrance, asked the North question,
go for it. Did I miss something

306
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:17.240
because I went to look up European
style license plates in Texas and I want

307
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:18.720
did I miss a chunk of the
story or did I hear this correctly when

308
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.680
you said you see this lady getting
into a ranger over with the license plate

309
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.039
and you just said, hey,
quick question, Yes, that's there's nothing

310
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:27.920
there. There's nothing in the middle
there that I missed. Nothing else,

311
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.480
And I wanted to ask her about
the license plate, if it was legal

312
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.720
or not. I go, hey, My question would have been, how

313
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.640
did you get that that European style
license plate? It's cool, you know,

314
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.400
I want to know is that legal? And she didn't give me any

315
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.640
opportunity to say anything to her.
She just terrifiedly got in her car,

316
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.720
which is understandable. I get it. I'm not a woman on my own

317
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:57.559
out shopping many you know, many
different stories you hear of women getting cat

318
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:00.079
called and this and that, but
this isn't one of those. I was

319
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.319
just trying to ask her a question
and for her to be so just tremendously

320
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:11.680
rude. It annoyed me, so
I flipped her off and walked away.

321
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.480
But I feel like in her mind
probably solidifies the fact that she had no

322
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:21.200
business talking to you. Yes,
yes, for sure. But my point

323
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:29.240
is is, I'm trying to see
it from her standpoint. It just seems

324
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:37.799
either self absorbed or paranoid, or
any number of different things. I'm all

325
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.359
about being safe in public spaces.
Right there have been times where I've been

326
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.279
alone pulling up to a gas station
and I've seen God, there was one

327
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.319
time I pulled up to a gas
station and I'm getting ready to get out

328
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.799
of my truck, and all of
a sudden, I see two dudes coming

329
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.200
at my truck from like two different
directions, from like ten o'clock and two

330
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.920
o'clock, right, yeah, And
one of them's on a like a mini

331
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:00.960
bike, And I'm thinking, Okay, I don't know what the f this

332
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.440
is. It's late in the evening. There's two guys coming at me.

333
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.799
So I just put it in drive
and just peel out out of there,

334
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.960
Because you know, you get a
sense of dangerous situations, and I think

335
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:17.319
everyone, man, woman, whomever
should avoid things like that. If they

336
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.519
can sense it, if they can
get out of a situation that could turn

337
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:23.680
nasty, just bail. That's your
easiest option. It's better to err on

338
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.799
the side of caution. If you
think something is up, then leave exactly.

339
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:33.400
But my dumb looking ass, I
wasn't looking, you know, disheveled

340
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.559
or homeless or anything like that.
I was reading a fashion magazine. I

341
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.279
was reading a fashion magazine. So
I was walking out of North Park.

342
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.599
Maybe she thought that was some sort
of a ploy, Like, It's just

343
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.240
this guy clearly does not need to
be like, he doesn't look fashion at

344
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.319
all. Just annoyed the crap out
of me. What are you wearing?

345
00:26:53.079 --> 00:27:00.119
Just a short sleeved T shirt and
my like, you know those Lululem and

346
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.640
pants that you have Dan, the
ones that are like kind of like jeans,

347
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.160
Yeah, they look like like slacks. Yeah, but they're very stretchy

348
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.440
and comfortable. Yeah. The nice
keep you keep you junk all oh happy.

349
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:17.079
So you're wearing a T shirt and
Lululemons and she was afraid of you.

350
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:22.880
Yep. She probably thought you were
going to ask her for money.

351
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.799
That's what I thought, too,
is is okay? Because they're are you

352
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:33.359
know a fair amount of homeless people
around North Park. But I mean I

353
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:38.559
also probably are wearing Lululemons. That's
true. Yeah, I'm sitting there reading

354
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:45.680
a fashion magazine and it just it
felt unjustified the rudeness that I got.

355
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.880
By the way, after I got
home, I googled whether or not those

356
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.400
European style license plates are legal.
They are most definitely not legal in text,

357
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.000
they're not. Huh they're not.
Yeah, because I went to a

358
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:03.039
website it's uh, you can buy
them online. It's Texas euro style license

359
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.400
plates, but yeah, I can't
find anywhere where It says, like,

360
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.799
you know, for Texas Texas motor
vehicles, about whether or not you can

361
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:18.559
get one. Let me see what
this is. Yeah, it like,

362
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.720
since I believe that they still haven't
renewed the whole you have to have a

363
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.640
front license plate, so I think
you can have one on front, but

364
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:29.160
you still have to have a normal
Texas plate on back. Is the last

365
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:33.920
time? Oh, so you can
get like a fun not legal, ridiculous

366
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.240
plate on the front as long as
you're the backside is good to go.

367
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.039
I don't know about fun ridiculous,
but I think you can get away with

368
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:48.480
the European style, if it has
your actual plate numbers on it. Oh,

369
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:51.359
okay, it had her. It
had her license plate on it too,

370
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:56.559
like her actual plate numbers. And
I know this because her license plate

371
00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:59.640
has the same three letter prefix that
mine does. So it's like, okay,

372
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.960
let's obviously a license plate number.
But she didn't have an actual license

373
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.039
plate anywhere else on her car that
I saw. Point is is, if

374
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.839
I'm a cop and I see one
of these euro style license plates, that's

375
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:18.480
an easy ticket for me. Yeah. Dpd's got better things to do with

376
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.079
this. Right now. I see
a lot of the pulling people over.

377
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.440
Imagine how many more cops you can
hire if you just busted all these fake

378
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:30.279
eurostyle license plate people at North Park. At North Park, also, how

379
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.359
much money would be brought in by
busting the panhandlers asking for those rich ladies

380
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.640
for money. They don't have money, Dan, You bust the rich people

381
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.279
because you know they got pockets full
of cash. The homeless guy, what

382
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:49.599
are you gonna get a bottleful of
pe or something like that. That's I

383
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:55.960
feel like the North Park holumeless are
are a little bit more upper crusted Thanese.

384
00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:03.119
Yeah, okay, but is this
rude ass. Lady didn't need to

385
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.599
be that rude, didn't. I
get you took it personally. You took

386
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:08.400
it personally, and I understand that
because I have a tendency to take things

387
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:14.200
personally that I shouldn't, but I
do. And I understand that. You

388
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:15.640
know that you're not a creep.
You know that you're not asking her for

389
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.680
money, you're not trying to rob
her or anything else untoward. You just

390
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:23.880
had a genuine question about her license
plate. But instead she wanted nothing to

391
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.480
do with you because you look like
a Lulu Limon homeless dude at North Park

392
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:36.400
Mall and she just get daddled the
absolute audacity. Should I be this upset

393
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:40.240
over this because it's obviously like stuck
with me. It's been a few days

394
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.680
and I'm still annoyed. Well,
I think clearly what you need to do

395
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.079
is you need to go back to
that exact spot and wait until you see

396
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:55.079
her again and ask her again,
which is not near her car. Hey,

397
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:59.680
I have a quick question still for
Jesus that would be justifying her action.

398
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:04.319
Listen, lady, I waited here
this whole time. Tell me about

399
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:08.920
your license plate. Meanwhile, the
headline on Fox hour is something along the

400
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:15.279
lines of strange altercation leads to gunfire
at North Park. Mall Man, the

401
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:22.519
I don't know I'm all about,
especially like my female friends. I'll tell

402
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:23.599
him, like, you know,
hey, watch back, be safe,

403
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:30.519
that kind of thing. But there's
a certain line at which caution becomes paranoia.

404
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:37.039
And it would have been perfectly fine
to me had she just gotten in

405
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:40.839
her car and acted like she didn't
hear me. Okay, I get it.

406
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.319
She she wasn't even that pretty.
She was just kind of a rich

407
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:51.319
looking blonde lady and diame a dozen
in Dallas. Yeah, exactly. So

408
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.200
while she's getting in the car,
did she look at you and she just

409
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:56.799
said nope? Or she didn't get
look at you and she just said no,

410
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.039
No, she looked right at me
and she shook her head, nod

411
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:05.480
like finger like no, no,
not that bad. So she didn't exactly

412
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.680
treat you like a dog, but
close, it was damn close. The

413
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:10.559
vibe that I got was, how
dare you think you can talk to me?

414
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:19.279
That's why I'm saying, maybe you
go back to that exact look.

415
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.160
That's the only way you're gonna get
closure in this scenario. I don't want

416
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.880
closure other than for a police officer
or to enforce these laws that they deserve

417
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:34.519
to be enforced for people like that
to to get their come up, and

418
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:39.119
and they certainly will given the karmic
arc of the universe. And you know,

419
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:42.599
I'm on I'm on board with you
on that. You know, me

420
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.240
and my justice boners, I'm all
for. I want people to get the

421
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:52.200
punishment and the consequences and all the
negative outcomes that they deserve. Every single

422
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:57.039
time I support that. That's why
I like in movies and television shows.

423
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.000
I love movies and shows about revenge. That's why Taken to Me is one

424
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:04.839
of the most perfect Hollywood films ever. Someone did something bad, and you

425
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.200
did something bad to the wrong dude's
daughter, and you had to pay the

426
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.200
price dearly for it. And that's
why I love that movie. Also because

427
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:13.839
it's an hour and a half and
it didn't need to be two two and

428
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:17.440
a half hours to exact punishment.
So the other way you can go about

429
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:22.359
this, Alphie, is the long
game. What you can do is because

430
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:29.000
Trey, you mentioned Dallas Police Department
very much overwhelmed and understaffed, right,

431
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.799
Yes, so Alphie, you can
knock out two birds with one stone.

432
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:37.119
So what you do is I'm listening. You go apply at DPD Okay,

433
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.680
go through the academy, you become
a police officer, and then you work

434
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:45.839
your way up to the North Park
patrol area and you wait in that parking

435
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:51.000
lot until you see that woman and
her illegal euro license plate. And then

436
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:52.839
you walk up to her and say, hey, I asked you a question

437
00:33:52.880 --> 00:34:01.599
like six years ago. This all
sounds justified. See doesn't it make sense?

438
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:06.640
So now you can get an answer
to your question and you can give

439
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:09.079
the rich bitch a ticket. Perfectly
reasonable solution, Dan, I like it.

440
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:14.119
I like it. This is the
best solution you've had to one of

441
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.480
my problems in years. You know. It's something about the Caribbean air.

442
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:22.320
It just helps me think more clearly. Seven years of police training, kidding,

443
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:28.360
my certification, working my way up
from nights just to go stake out

444
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:34.880
the North Park parking lot toe because
you're not gonna get you know, whatever

445
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.039
subdivision that is in Dallas with that
North Park is, They don't hand that

446
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:40.400
out to rookies. No, you
gotta go cut your teeth in northeast or

447
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:45.400
or CB or is it CBD or
that the Central business CBD or Southwest.

448
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:50.280
You gotta you gotta earn your stripes
there. Plus, the old adage is

449
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:54.519
still true. Revenge is a dish
best served cold. It's not revenge DWN.

450
00:34:54.639 --> 00:35:00.960
Not looking for revenge's looking for justice
for somebody to story rude, revenge

451
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:06.760
for someone to be so rude while
also being such a scoff law, that's

452
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:09.000
what I don't like. You could
be. You could be, you know,

453
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:14.440
a little miss illegal license plates as
long as you're you know, winking

454
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:17.480
a smile about it, like hey, yeah they're illegal, but don't tell

455
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:20.480
nobody. And I'd be like,
oh, okay, I got you,

456
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:27.239
Yeah yeah, fight the power.
But she was just awful and rude.

457
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:31.119
So she deserves come up, and
she deserves to have her illegal license plates

458
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:37.000
taken away. How far away from
you from her were you when you started

459
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.159
talking to her? When I not
yelled, not hollered, when I said

460
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:47.880
hey, quick question, I would
say I was, I don't know,

461
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:54.440
three car lengths maybe four away,
So it's not like you yelled at her.

462
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:59.320
And then did you start moving in
her direction? No, stop waived

463
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.800
clearly had a fashion magazine in one
hand, so one hand is waving the

464
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:12.400
other hand is holding a fashion magazine
and obviously not armed, not posing any

465
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:19.519
sort of threat. Look, all
I'm saying is you pull her over and

466
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.559
then you tap on the window,
and you say, I don't know who

467
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.360
you are, and I don't know
what you want, but I have a

468
00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:30.480
particular set of skills I've acquired over
a long career leading to this moment.

469
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.880
It's rational. I like it.
Let's do it. You're listening to the

470
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:57.800
Treehouse. Visit us online a Treehouse
OnAir dot Com. Time out of Welcome

471
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.519
in Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing, the
website brook Plumbing Texas dot com, the

472
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.400
phone number two one, four,
three six eight thirty eight thirty eight.

473
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.400
Jacqueline, you told me something this
week that I'm still kind of stunned by,

474
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.199
and that is to get a license
to be a plumber in the state

475
00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:14.800
of Texas, it takes more hours
than it does to get a pilot's license.

476
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.440
It's true. So here in Texas
we are governed by the Texas State

477
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.239
Board of Plumbing Examiners, and they
hold us to a higher standard. They

478
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:27.079
require the technicians, once you apply
for your apprentice license, that you have

479
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.119
to have a minimum number of hours
in the field turning the wrench before you're

480
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.000
eligible to apply to take your tradesman
license, which is kind of the second

481
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.079
tier. Third tier is your journeyman, and the fourth tier is your master

482
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:39.920
plumber, which is the highest that
you can go. But you have to

483
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:45.239
have more hours in the field as
an apprentice before you can test for your

484
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.880
tradesman license than and you do have
to become a commercial airline pilot. And

485
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.360
I was actually on the phone with
one of my friends who flies for American

486
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:57.360
and he confirmed this just this morning. So honestly, I think it's a

487
00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.280
good thing because when I was telling
somebody earlier, is that if it comes

488
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.119
down to something that could possibly harm
your family, like the risk of carbon

489
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:07.719
monoxide poisoning, if something is plumbed
in properly, like a water heater event,

490
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:10.639
you want somebody with a license that
understands the importance of doing it the

491
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:15.679
right way versus hiring somebody who can
just do it cheaper. So it's always

492
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:20.320
best if something might risk your family's
well being to go with the license contractor

493
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.559
just my opinion, and that's a
very valuable opinion. We value it here

494
00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:29.239
in the Treehouse. That's why we
recommend you and your entire team to everyone

00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.519
you very much. Well we are
as well. And one of the first

505
00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:15.199
things I want to do with one
of our first spots with you is to

506
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.320
say I heard heard heard a dirty, dirty rumor about you, and I

507
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.599
think we need to address it.
Um, I had heard you were up

508
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:24.880
on a roof the other night during
a hail storm. Are you just trying

509
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:29.039
to show off? It wasn't exactly
during the hill storm. It was actually

510
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.840
after so we weren't we weren't getting
pelted or anything. We didn't have to

511
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:37.159
wear our hard hatsu. But it
was fun. I guess you could say

512
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:39.239
it was fun me and one of
my projects. So what happened One of

513
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:43.840
my project managers, I mean got
an emergency call ladyhead water coming into her

514
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:46.840
kitchen from the ceiling, and uh, you know, they'll only own their

515
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:51.039
home for a little bit, and
so they were like really concerned with what

516
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:53.559
was going on, and so they
called us, um, they looked us

517
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:57.360
up, and they called us out. We came out there. So the

518
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.360
haill storm came through a round think
got about six thirty that afternoon, and

519
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:04.480
so they called us up and we
got out there right at about eight forty

520
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.519
five at night. It was getting
dark, so we had to get us

521
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:09.760
some flashlights, and we caught up
in their attic and found out where the

522
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:12.880
water was coming in. And then
we got up on the roof and of

523
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.960
course it's it's always a steep roof. Every time there's a water leak,

524
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.480
it's always a steep roof. It
can never be a flat roof, right,

525
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:22.440
So maybe one of these did.
So we have to put on we

526
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.760
have to put on special boots and
everything. So we're scaling this wet ten

527
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:31.280
twelve roof in the middle of the
night with flashlights trying to get these leaks

528
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:35.960
stopped. Because the hall had been
so big in this particular area, it

529
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:39.960
actually penetrated the decking, so the
actual roof was penetrated by this hell and

530
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:45.000
so it basically allowed water to then
start flowing into the to the roof,

531
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:46.719
and that's where the water was coming
into our ceiling ar in the kitchen.

532
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:51.679
But we got up there, we
made emergency repairs, we didn't fall off

533
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:55.079
the roof, thank god, and
we lived to tell another tale another day.

534
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:59.719
So well, I'm glad for that, and I'm sure that lady was

535
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:04.920
even happier that you guys are able
to come out in such a fast manner.

536
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.280
And that's the level of service that
Daniel and his crew bring to your

537
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:10.920
home. So if you have any
sort of an issue with your roof,

538
00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:14.519
you're not sure, if there's an
issue with your roof, it's right after

539
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:16.639
a storm, give these guys a
call because they're going to come out and

Um? So anyway, Yes, this

558
00:42:55.320 --> 00:43:00.239
secondent brought to you buy your friends
at Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com. So

559
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:02.760
earlier I mentioned Alphie, I wasn't
sure if you had seen on social media

560
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:08.000
that Terry and I once again have
become chicken parents. Yes, and I

561
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:13.679
don't know if you saw this as
well. Um my wife was kind of

562
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:22.920
uh post happy this week. Um, she played her own version of could

563
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:32.280
the answer be c this week?
And I don't love it. I'm guessing

564
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:37.760
you did not see that though.
No, hold on, Yeah, you

565
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.159
don't like it when your own bit
writes itself against you? No, I

566
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:49.800
don't. It's not fair, especially
because this is the time of year.

567
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:52.679
What is that, Alphie? Will
she ragging on you specifically? Um?

568
00:43:52.840 --> 00:44:00.920
Yeah, I'll get to that in
a second. Well, hang on,

569
00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:04.280
I haven't seen the post, but
Tara's right. I don't need to see

570
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:07.519
the post. Tara's she's got a
good head on our shoulders. She's right,

571
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:09.679
Yes, yes, she does.
I know that very well, Alphie.

572
00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:15.559
On this one, she was absolutely
right. Yeah, Trey. So

573
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.719
this also comes to that the tera
is right. I look, I'm not

574
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:24.199
saying she's wrong. I'm just saying
I don't like it, which is perfectly

575
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:30.960
fine. I've asked the Alphie in
dance defense. He is the only one

576
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:35.760
in most of the three of us
that actually has been able to have a

577
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.639
long term, stable, serious relationship. That's that's because he has good friends

578
00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:46.639
next to him that buttress his wife's
opinions and positions on things. It is

579
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:53.159
interesting how like you're you're supposedly quote
unquote my friends, but you actually support

580
00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:59.039
her more than me. Yep,
welcome so And to that end, this

581
00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:01.639
makes sense because there's a tie in
here. Around this same time that Tara

582
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:07.800
has this post where she's playing one
of our bits against me on social media,

583
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:12.519
is it's also around that time of
year every year where we celebrate our

584
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.400
anniversary. She and I've now been
married for eleven years. And part of

585
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:20.159
what's interesting about that, thank you, And part of what's interesting about that

586
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:23.079
is Trey. I was just looking
through a couple of photos from our wedding

587
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:28.639
day. Trey was one of one
of my groomsmen, and it's just nice

588
00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:32.119
to see that as we're looking through
those photos of so many people that are

589
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:36.920
no longer in our lives, which
is interesting in and of itself. I'm

590
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:38.880
glad to know that Trey still is
and Eat and Alfie. You were not

591
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:43.760
a groomsman, but you were there. You also took some great photos which

592
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:47.159
I'm not sure if I've ever seen. But it's nice to know that YouTube

593
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:53.599
guys are still in my life.
Thank you. Tara's right, that is

594
00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:59.159
nice. Dan. I saw those
pictures and it does make you feel good

595
00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:05.480
that you know still around. And
it really is a weird thing because Tara

596
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.960
and I were looking through some of
those old photos this last week, and

597
00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:14.079
you go through, we're we're going
through looking at all these photos, and

598
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:19.079
I would venture to say half the
people at our wedding are no longer in

599
00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:22.159
our lives, at least at least
not with any sort of regularity. Like

600
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:27.039
there have been some people that have
straight up disappeared. Now I don't think

601
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:30.159
they're in danger, but they've just
like just there's just no contact whatsoever.

602
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:32.960
It's sort of like a weird relationship
you just kind of grow apart. I

603
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:37.840
guess other people seem like they're sworn
enemies for some reason. I don't know

604
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:42.440
why that is. It's just a
weird thing how you can look back at

605
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:45.000
one day in your life and see
all these people that were so important to

606
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:49.559
you at the time that you invited
them, but then just over a decade

607
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:52.480
later, you think, like I'm
saying, half of them nowhere to be

608
00:46:52.519 --> 00:47:02.880
found. It makes me feel good
knowing that Tara is right again. I'm

609
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:10.320
not disagreeing with it. I just
don't always like it. So the game

610
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:15.199
she played on me this week on
social media was could the Answer? BC?

611
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:20.960
And I just wasn't prepared for that. Her post read, Let's play

612
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:24.639
a game, who can guess what
happened to this toilet paper roll? And

613
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:28.639
it's one of those alfie where it's
like you ever get a new roll of

614
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:34.400
toilet paper and you can't find the
seam where the the role is supposed to

615
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.199
start, where the paper is supposed
to start. It's just all one sheet

616
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:38.920
for some reason. It's a little
start a line. Yeah, yeah,

617
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:45.039
So that's what happened with one of
these rolls of toilet paper. So Tara

618
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:47.039
does her own damn could the Answer
BC? By saying let's play a game,

619
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.719
who can guess what happened to this
toilet paper roll? Is it a

620
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.920
the cats found a fun toy.
B the chickies tried to make a nest

621
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:59.960
or. See. My husband got
frustrated that multiple sheets stuck together when opening

622
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.440
the roll and ripped the chunk out
of the side. M hmm. And

623
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:07.880
then there's of course a photo of
the damaged roll of toilet paper shredded.

624
00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:15.199
And I don't like it. Why
it was well written. It was well

625
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:19.320
written, and that's why. That's
why I don't like it. You know,

626
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:24.800
eleven years married, fourteen together,
and and and she's using our own

627
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:35.920
bits against me. I don't know
what to tell you. Yeah, I

628
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:39.480
mean, there's there's no discussion here. Terri's right again. I'm not saying

629
00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:44.480
she's wrong, because that is exactly
what happened. The answer is ce I

630
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:46.599
got frustrated because there was no seam
on the toilet paper and I ripped that

631
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:51.960
mother apart. Right, I'm not
going to put a seam on the toilet

632
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:58.199
paper roll. I'm anna make one. Now. If you crawl in bed

633
00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:00.199
one night and she's got buzzers out
and to play rock and roll Jeopardy,

634
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:07.719
then you might want to rethink things. Does Tara have that electric shocking thinging

635
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:12.440
that we have because I can send
it to her right now any more anymore

636
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:17.320
rock and roll trivia or game playing
and will we may not make it to

637
00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:23.920
twelve. I've had my fill of
that over the recent years, not with

638
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.719
her, obviously. So what did
you do to this toilet paper roll?

639
00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:30.800
You just absolutely like, like,
what was your thought process? Is what

640
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:32.639
I want to know. You're sitting
I was trying to find I was trying

641
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.400
to find the seam in the toilet
paper roll to start it to where it

642
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:39.719
could be used, and yeah,
there just wasn't one to be found,

643
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:44.360
so I just tried to make one. So you just started tearing into the

644
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:46.159
side. I get that. How
many layers deep did you start tearing?

645
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:52.679
Like six? Oh my god,
do you not have any finesse? I

646
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:58.320
have finesse layer. This toilet paper
was jacked up. That's why it looks

647
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:00.239
so shredded, because it's like when
you get a b piece of tape and

648
00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:06.280
you pull and it splits down the
middle or down the edge, and then

649
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:08.239
you have to keep going until it
yeah, kind of grows back out,

650
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:12.960
yeah and becomes a whole piece.
This didn't do that. It just stayed

651
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:16.920
on that line of like a third
of the paper and tear perpendicular. You

652
00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:21.760
find a nice perforation and you just
try and tear that down, and then

653
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:24.559
you get your giant layer of toilet
paper that you now have, and then

654
00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:30.360
you finished business. By the way, do you have a bidet? I

655
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:36.639
do not get a bidet. You
still have to use toilet paper, yeah,

656
00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:38.400
but you have to use a lot
less, So those rolls that you

657
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:43.199
have will last you a lot longer, and you'll have to have less time

658
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:49.079
spent frustratingly ham fisting twelve layers of
toilet paper off of a fresh roll.

659
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:52.800
I'm a tear on this. She
knows what she's doing. What was going

660
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:59.039
on that you were in such a
rush. There was no rush. I

661
00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:01.920
was just there was only one roll
of toilet paper that I could use,

662
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:07.639
and it was a poorly functioning roll
of toilet paper. So it's not that

663
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:10.239
I was in a hurry, but
I mean it didn't work, and I

664
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:13.639
don't like when things don't work the
way they're supposed to. So you just

665
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:19.199
gorilla fisted the toilet paper and go
turn nude poopoo cleaning twelve layers deep and

666
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:25.119
tear into it like it's some sort
of stinking. I don't know, bag

667
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:29.679
of chips or something. I would
just like to make a simple request.

668
00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:34.800
Can we please stop using the fisting
references in reference to my bathroom usage.

669
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:39.719
I'm feeling very uncomfortable. My wife
already attacked me during a social media post.

670
00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:43.199
Off could the answer BC? I
don't want to have to deal with

671
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:46.039
the deal with it in the treehouse
as well. It would just fist.

672
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:52.639
It was gorilla fist. Yeah,
that is the big fist. Yeah.

673
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:54.800
So you're sitting on the toilet,
you got a poop dangling, and you're

674
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:59.679
trying to shake it off, and
you decide to pick up the single lonely

675
00:51:59.719 --> 00:52:05.079
roller toilet paper, and you're gonna
Bruce Banner hulk fist it. You're gonna

676
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:09.199
grab the three fist references. Now, that's so, that's that's hulk fist,

677
00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:20.880
gorilla fist, and ham can you
toilet paper? Now? Is that

678
00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:22.599
where Tara's supposed to open the door
and say, the sun's starting to get

679
00:52:22.639 --> 00:52:31.840
real low? Come on, big
guy, let's let's calm down. I

680
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:37.920
think the biggest takeaway in all this
is that Tara is right again. I'm

681
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:45.519
not arguing that I just don't like
it. M so it seems like,
