Episode 30: Jerry Likes Being Boiled Alive

WEBVTT

1
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:33.600
Welcome into the Treehouse. I'm Danielmalley, joined by Trey Trent Home and by

2
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:42.359
another friend of this here show and
at one time associate producer and foot tender,

3
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:48.719
Jerry Caldwell. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Jerry's good to have you in

4
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.439
the Treehouse again, my friend.
Yeah, it's good to be here.

5
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.359
So I've mentioned this before. We
mentioned it when we did the road show

6
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.719
at Tody's in Bedford back in April. Trey, you had told me that

7
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.200
you actually your time with Jerry never
overlapped, and you and I Trey talked

8
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.959
about this a couple episodes ago,
and I just take for granted so many

9
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.560
things in the Treehouse that I shouldn't
and that is that with all this,

10
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.599
all all the different amazing casts of
characters that the show has employed over the

11
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:23.079
years, not everyone has overlapped at
given times. You left the show in

12
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.439
at the end of twenty twelve,
and Jerry, you were brought on sort

13
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:32.519
of not to replace Trey, but
to just kind of fill a role because

14
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.920
when Trey left, everything got readjusted
as far as the show structure, and

15
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:44.319
so Jerry was brought on. Who
was who came first, Kinsey or Jerry

16
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:49.920
Kinsey technically Okay, so that wasn't
warm Jerry. It was me technically,

17
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:57.959
but I didn't get brought in because
Kensey showed up. So when Rust decided

18
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.959
he wanted to I was doing an
internet a live in a TV show that

19
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:08.360
other certain people had become aware of
and started watching other people that was currently

20
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:15.919
on the show. Yes, gotcha. Um. So when Russ decided he

21
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:22.960
wanted to start doing live video streaming
out of the studio, he contacted me,

22
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.520
and I'm the one that helped us
design the setup to you know,

23
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.680
find the TriCaster and do all that
stuff and get all all that all the

24
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:38.280
video that we did for the radio
show. Yeah, exactly. And then

25
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.319
I was supposed to come in and
operate it after he got all that put

26
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.439
together. Came in and I helped
him like tweak some stuff one day after

27
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.879
the late after the show was done, and then the next thing I know,

28
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:57.120
Kinsey's there. And it was Kinsey
until until it wasn't until it wasn't.

29
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.280
Yeah, it was Kinsey until you
know, until Russ rusted her.

30
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.280
And that's not a sexual thing at
all. It was not. That's not

31
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.639
how I mean it. I mean
because I've said this on a number of

32
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:16.639
times, and there's only a handful
of people that know this the same or

33
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.840
maybe better than I do. And
two of them are in this treehouse with

34
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.199
me right now. That's Trey and
Jerry. Is you're around rust long enough,

35
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.719
he's eventually gonna bite you. Um. And that's and that's basically what

36
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.400
happened with with him and Kenzie and
then Jerry. Then Jerry got Broun and

37
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.280
finally to get the job that was
dangled in front of him for for a

38
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:42.199
period of time. And then September
twenty fifteen, and then one day I

39
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.960
heart made a decision to eliminate an
entire position from the company, and that

40
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.400
got Jerry swept up into the dust
pin, into the dustpin. But but

41
00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:00.879
and one of our one of our
last triumphs before were being laid off,

42
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.479
we were able to get Jerry hired
back, got the radio station. Yes,

43
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.360
and I somewhere deep down, Trey, I bet Jerry hates me for

44
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:19.879
it. I'm kidding. Jerry loves
radio and he loves the job. Yes,

45
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.639
yes, I do. And I
appreciate that there was a bit of

46
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.519
a bait and switch there. Oh
yeah, come back and you'll get to

47
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.639
be you get to be a producer
on for the Dreehouse come on back.

48
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.439
And then the day I get there, they let you guys go incident.

49
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.759
Right by the way, they never
told me that you were going to be

50
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:45.639
your producer on the show. Oh
yeah, Well anyways, the situation is

51
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.279
what it is. You got a
job in radio, Trey and I do

52
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:55.079
not. But hey, we're in
digital form now we've now joined the Matrix.

53
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.920
But that's right, you're doing the
thing. We're not all digital because

54
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:08.319
like we did that show in April
in Bedford, we found another another place

55
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:15.920
to invite us in person in a
room with alcohol and other people. I'm

56
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:21.439
getting at another Treehouse podcast live road
show that will be happening Jerry on Friday

57
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:27.600
July seventh at Daddy Rabbits Pub in
Louisville one twenty one in Round Grove in

58
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:33.600
Louisville, five to seven pm.
So I don't like to just make general

59
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:40.160
assumptions about people's lives and schedules.
So I'm not assuming you're free. I'm

60
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.160
just I'm just going to ask you
on Friday July seven, from five to

61
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:50.560
seven pm, what are you doing
if things go according to plan. I

62
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:59.000
will be in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Why are you being punished? No?

63
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.319
I love Hot Springs. Okay.
Oh so no one's like trying to

64
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.519
boil you. No, no,
no, no, The boilings all self

65
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:16.399
inflicted. You're going on it's you're
going on vacation. Yes, wow,

66
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.959
Yes, staying at the Arlington Hotel. Look at you, mister big time

67
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:28.759
radio job. I get vacation.
I wouldn't say get vacation. You're gonna

68
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.199
have to claw out a little hunk
of vacation. It's not exactly vacation time.

69
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.759
But you're going to be someplace else
that's not work right. I will

70
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.240
not be chained to the board for
at least five days. So you're gone

71
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.160
out of town. You're taking a
trip, You and you and your you

72
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.639
and your lady going for a romantic
weekend in Arkansas. Yes. I think

73
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.399
we're gonna leave, probably the night
of the fourth. It only takes four

74
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.000
hours to get up there. Um, we're gonna stay at Arlington Hotel.

75
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.639
We're gonna take advantage of all the
bath houses that they've opened. Um places

76
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.240
hot oh, bath houses, Hot
Springs. Never mind, I was thinking

77
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:13.079
tawdry. I mean there are places
if you go behind the mountain. There

78
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.680
are places to go to get that
if you want. But as long as

79
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.319
you stay in in uh the magic
valley there, valley of vapors, then

80
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:25.879
everything's everything's on the up and up, all right. But don't go around

81
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.240
to the mossy side of the mountain. Yeah, yeah, that's actually what

82
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.480
they call it. They call it
the back side of the mountain. Of

83
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:40.079
course they do. Hey, well, you know, if you if you

84
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.120
want some ass, you got to
go to the back side of the mountain.

85
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.319
So on July seventh, you will
not be able to be there at

86
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.279
the road show. You'll be uh, you'll be in Arkansas with with your

87
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.800
lady doing romantic things. Yes,
well, good, good for you.

88
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:03.439
Congratulations. How long the two you've
been together now since October of twenty nineteen.

89
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.560
Wow, now you're just showing off
in front of a single Trey.

90
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:13.920
Yeah, and you know what,
hats off to you? Have you survived

91
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.160
a fairly new relationship, survived the
pandemic. Good on you. Yeah,

92
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.199
because unfortunately Trey had a relationship that
survived the pandemic, but it didn't survive

93
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:31.319
much after the pandemic. No,
that's the relationship, right, not her

94
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.120
yes, okay, just making sure
although Jerry, keep in mind it wasn't

95
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.240
a total loss. I mean,
Trey's X gotta gotta got a nice porsh

96
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.240
out of the deal. Yeah,
oh really, m yeah, I'm not

97
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.200
sure. We still haven't figured out
whether or not the money Drey had been

98
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.399
giving her went towards that porch,
but we're just assuming that it did.

99
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.159
Seriously, though, I'm actually really
happy for you, Jerry, being able

100
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.120
to you know, keep a girl, keep a job, get to go

101
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.240
on vacation. I know, so
much different than this time last year.

102
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.639
This time last year, it was
I was looking looking pretty bad. Well,

103
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.840
this time last year, I had
a job in vacation. I'm starting

104
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.240
to see where it happened here.
I see, I think what happened Trey

105
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.039
is I got Jerry a job back, and then he submarined me, Oh,

106
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.440
there's a balance, because you do
live in paradise, so exactly.

107
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.559
Yeah, I guess it is kind
of a scoreboard type situation. Yeah,

108
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.080
yeah, it doesn't suck. I'll
be honest with you. So what are

109
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.279
you gonna do on the vacation?
What's there to do in Hot Springs?

110
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.639
So you go around? Do you
go to like different tubs or what.

111
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:48.759
I've never I've never been to Arkansas
intentionally. Arkansas is a beautiful, beautiful,

112
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.879
beautiful place. Hot Springs is look. Hot Springs is located in the

113
00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:01.440
middle of the Washitaw Mountains. It's
literally, oh sorry, I did the

114
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.759
thing there. I know. It's
it's an old throwback, and that's not

115
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.279
actually something I say very often.
It's uh. They call it like the

116
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.919
mineral capital of the planet because every
single kind of crystal or rock or anything

117
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.399
that you can find pretty much anywhere
in the world, you can find it

118
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.120
to some degree in Arkansas. Really, so rockhounding is big there, going

119
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.519
out digging for crystals, big big
I've dug big quartz crystals out there and

120
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:33.559
the mines around Hot Springs. Man, it's I can just I can just

121
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.399
feel the excitement coming from your girlfriend's
loins when you tell her we're gonna go

122
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.480
rockhounding. Actually, she's all about
it. She's really just like, Yeah,

123
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.799
she's nerdly just like I am.
Dirt for rocks, just like you

124
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.000
do. Oh yes, yes,
pulling Mother Nature apart with your bare hands

125
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.360
and pulling shiny's out of it.
Yeah, that's awesome. How long has

126
00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:00.440
she been collecting her fingernail trimmings.
She has yet to collect any. Well,

127
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:01.879
that's probably because you have more more
than enough for the two of you.

128
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.759
It's as a matter of fact,
I found it pretty funny. I

129
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.960
was telling doctor Scott Thornton this at
the Trash Bash that when, as usual,

130
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.519
when we went on our first date, I pulled him out your fingernail

131
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.720
clippings. Thank you, Ty,
I was pulled him out on the first

132
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.039
date. Here. It's one of
those things where it's like you on the

133
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.720
first date and there's a second one, we're good, you know. Well

134
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.080
also, not only that, but
if if if you pull out your fingernail

135
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.039
collection on the first date and it
doesn't immediately end the first date, that's

136
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.120
that's a pretty good start for you. And speaking of a good start,

137
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.320
Trey, this is a good thing
that you no longer have to worry about

138
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.960
when it comes to the road show
on July seventh at Daddy Rabbit's Pub in

139
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.759
Louisville. Is since Jerry won't be
there, neither will his fingernails. Because

140
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:00.279
I don't think Jerry and the fingernails
have ever been separate in the what is

141
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:05.679
it eighteen years now that you've been
doing a collection, yes, and no,

142
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.159
we have. We have never been
a pot I've always had them in

143
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.600
some fashion some degree. Actually survived
the tornado because they were in my in

144
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.240
my bag, hanging on the door
the coat closet downstairs by the front door,

145
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.600
which is one of the only parts
of the house that didn't get wrecked.

146
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.720
So you basically made sure to keep
your You kept your tonail clippings inside

147
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:35.080
your emergency bug out bag kind of, yeah, all the priorities. I'm

148
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.960
pretty sure FEMA lists that you take
all assential items in your bug out bag

149
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.320
in case of emergency. But yeah, when I showed her showed her the

150
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:50.440
collection, she asked me very similar
questions that doctor Thornton asked me on the

151
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.639
show that time when russ I was
talking to him about it, which was

152
00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:03.320
why One of them is what's wrong
with you? Is it? Is it

153
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.919
a compulsion? Can you not do
it and not get angry? I was

154
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:13.120
like yeah, yeah. He's like, okay, do they bring you any

155
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.039
sexual pleasure? I was like,
no, okay, do you have any

156
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.440
interest in collecting anyone else's? And
I said no, And then doctor Thornton

157
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.639
looks at him, was like,
oh, he's not is he's just fucking

158
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:35.600
weird? And she she asked me
basically the same questions. I mean,

159
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.320
that is throwing down the gauntlet on
a first date. And if she stays

160
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.200
around, I'd say you have a
keeper. That's yeah, absolutely for both

161
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:52.840
theater nerds and creative types and kind
of awkward sometimes. Jerry, what because

162
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.600
I don't know this story? What
was the impetus behind you beginning to collect

163
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:05.480
your anger nail trimmings? It started
out as a simple science experiment. I

164
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.919
was just interested in seeing how much
of that stuff, my fingernails and toenails

165
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:13.159
that I grew in a year.
It was only supposed to last for a

166
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.159
year. I started it on my
birthday eighteen years ago, when I was

167
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.759
thirty, on my thirtieth birthday,
and I was just going after that was

168
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.919
done, I was just going to
put them all together and weigh it up

169
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.759
and take some notes. And I
was just I was just curious because at

170
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.840
the time, there wasn't really like
a good resource. You know, you

171
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.159
find online it'll tell you that they
grow this much, and you know,

172
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.039
so on and so forth. But
I just wondered, like, empirically,

173
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.159
how much am I actually producing?
And then at the end of the year,

174
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:48.519
I couldn't stop here. I am
eighteen years later. Have you started

175
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.440
up a new can yet? I
have to get a new can now,

176
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.919
no more, we're going to fit
in there. Have you done? Have

177
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.799
you done anything else scientific? Like
I said, Well, if I take

178
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.799
this supplement, it gives you extra
growth. I've I actually I've never tried

179
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:13.039
that before. I've never taken anything
specifically for carroton production. And now you've

180
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.799
got his nails turning tree. Good
job, because now he's gonna he's gonna

181
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.519
start looking into it fine things.
So that way he gets to produce more

182
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.840
and therefore trim more and therefore save
more, and then also have more to

183
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.879
chase you around with. There'll be
two in each hand, one in each

184
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.159
hand. Oh, then it will
be like moroccas. I will tell you

185
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.759
this, and I don't know why
I'm telling you this, but collagen supplement

186
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.559
at least makes my nails grow faster. So okay, you know what this

187
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.080
reminds me of, Trey. This
reminds me of when your dad would tell

188
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.120
you to go get belt belt.
Yeah, so I got my own switch

189
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.799
exactly, so right there, you
just you just played into Jerry's hands and

190
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.000
toe nails by saying, you know
what, I know he's gonna do something

191
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.240
to me with these things. But
here's a way to grow even more of

192
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.440
the things that make you nauseous.
Try you really are gletton for punishment?

193
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:11.919
I am, but I have thought
of a secret weapon to bring to uh

194
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:18.360
keep Jerry from terrorizing me. Garlic. Oh that does work? Crucifix?

195
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:23.559
Huh what garlic? CHRISTI m M. The garlic doesn't work. There was

196
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.440
a when I was growing up,
there was a lady that lives He's been

197
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:32.200
tested on him. She she hung
a big thing of garlic on her front

198
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.799
porch, try and keep me away. It didn't work. So Trey,

199
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.159
what do you have to keep Jerry
at bay? You want to see it?

200
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:52.519
I do, and you can hear
it too. Dustbuster your treehouse OnAir

treehouse our friend and sponsor, Rodney Anderson.

204
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.799
Coming to you live from a Smoothie
King drive through Rodney Anderson. There's

205
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.680
been a lot of hail lately in
North Texas, and that means insurance deductibles

206
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.519
that people are having to pay.
But you can actually you can actually help

207
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.359
with that, can't you. Well, let's talk about a cash out refinance.

208
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:33.519
We had a client call that lived
in the Lantana area. Their deductibles,

209
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.240
their cars got roomed to their house, the roof of the house and

210
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.839
everything. They had a twenty thousand
dollars deductible for everything and dan the challenge

211
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.720
was they had no room on their
credit cards. They had a thousand dollars

212
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.960
in savings. So they get a
cash out refinance with US to pay off

213
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.359
all their credit cards, get the
twenty thousand dollars, and now they have

214
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.279
to have windows in their house as
well, so they pulled an additional fifty

215
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.559
thousand dollars out to do all at
one time. They lived in Lantana.

216
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.559
Like I said, their home value
gone up to nine hundred thousand. They

217
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.759
only o two hundred thousand dollars on
their mortgage, so they were able to

218
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.000
do a cash out refinance, get
it all roped into one, and now

219
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.519
they have breathing room down the road. Because let's face it, life happens

220
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.359
sometimes. My wife I bought a
used car for her two weeks ago.

221
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.920
We're at a restaurant the other night. She's got eighteen things in her car.

222
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.480
Because of the hell, bad things
happen really good people, and so

223
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.599
you're just sitting there going, what's
my opportunities? What can I do to

224

00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.720
COOKEDFW dot com. Trey, Why, why the hell do you have

245
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:11.000
a dustbuster in your bedroom? Like? What is happening in your bedroom?

246
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:18.160
Where the way it looked when you
reached for the dustbuster, it looked like

247
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.519
you have the wall mount like it's
like spring loaded. It's ready for action

248
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.880
at a moment's notice in case of
an emergency dustball, You've got the dustbuster

249
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:34.480
ready to go, like like John
Wick of cleaning. Do you want the

250
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:41.119
truth? I'll make up an up. Yes, Uh, start with the

251
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:48.000
made up reason, right, So
if we can guess, scares the crap

252
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:48.880
out of girls when you do it
to them in the middle of the night.

253
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:52.680
Okay, not bad, not bad. That's a lot better than I

254
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:55.960
was I was thinking. I thought, I've thought that was funny looking hicky,

255
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.079
Well, I was afraid that your
real doll had been used up so

256
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.319
much that it was just dry.
You just you just wore her out,

257
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.519
and it's like, oh and times
are tight, so you can't buy a

258
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.279
new one because you know, real
dolls are expensive, So you just got

259
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:22.680
to keep the dustbuster ready when you
are And the real actual reason is the

260
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:32.839
cat litter box. Ah, so
instead of scooping the kiddy stuff out of

261
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.759
the cat box, you just use
the dustbuster to suck it up into it.

262
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.559
No. No, I was actually
hoping that was the reason, because

263
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:41.519
I would love that to be the
case. I really, really, and

264
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.400
I cannot stress this enough, really
hate cleaning a cat box. So if

265
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:49.119
there's a machine that can just do
it in a matter of seconds, I'd

266
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.440
be all about it. I mean, you could use a shot back,

267
00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:00.240
I guess you could. It's actually
not a bad idea. Ideally I could

268
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.839
do it to where there's litter left, to where I don't have to replace

269
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.119
the litter each time. But I
just got to shake it a little bit

270
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.720
up. Yeah, because I've I've
I've I have experienced with the the the

271
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:18.039
automatic catbox things that once the kitty
is done, it leaves and then the

272
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.920
little machine moves across the box and
scoops it for you. That thing never

273
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.839
works. It always gets it,
it just doesn't work. I've never had

274
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:29.440
a good experience with set. I
think I'm like in the shopback version.

275
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.480
Yeah. No, my cat just
likes to get in the litter box and

276
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:38.200
then uh kick it all over the
place. And for some reason, and

277
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.839
after he's done, he can't just
stroll out like a normal cat. He

278
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:47.000
has to take off like you know, something bit him in the litter box

279
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:51.480
and there's a trail of litter everywhere. All right. That makes sense because

280
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:52.799
you're probably like me, the last
thing you want to do is if because

281
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:59.799
you're in your bedroom typically barefoot,
hate the feeling of the of the sandy

282
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.000
ox or the sandy urine crystals out
of the cat box on your bare feet.

283
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:08.759
Yeah, I mean, yeah,
every time you walk around barefoot,

284
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:14.640
and you're wiping your feet and you
know, a little cat litter pieces are

285
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.279
falling off. It's gross. So
you've got all hardwoods in your house,

286
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:25.559
Trey, pretty much? Yeah?
Nice? So Trey, when you go

287
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:27.920
on when you go on first dates? Not the not the most recent one

288
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:34.079
withithstanding that ended abruptly because she found
out you moisturize and therefore not mainly enough.

289
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:40.079
What oh yeah, sorry, Jerry. So uh. One of the

290
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:47.160
briefest dates in the history of Trey's
love life occurred recently, and it ended

291
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.880
abruptly because Trey told her that he
moisturizes, and she didn't think that was

292
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.960
mainly so Tray said, good night. Oh no, no, no,

293
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:57.960
but you you don't need that kind
of negativity in your life. Brother.

294
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:03.200
I am. I am team moisturize
right here. I have a whole skin

295
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.920
routine. I got a shower routine, the whole thing. It's also not

296
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.759
the first time that Jerry's alluded to
it puts the lotion on the skin.

297
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:18.400
It's true. He has a special
basket for it. Also true to seem

298
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:23.279
So anyway, where was that going
with that, Trey moisturizer first date?

299
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.279
First date? Oh yeah, So
when when you go on dates and you

300
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:33.200
tell because I know that your biggest
angle to getting dates is Daisy, your

301
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.400
Chihuahua, who I swear to God
there you probably have to be careful with

302
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.799
your dustbuster that you don't suck Daisy
into the dustbuster because she is that small

303
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:48.079
she is. She is like a
three pound panty dropper, there is no

304
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.559
doubt. But I wonder when you
tell the ladies that you also have a

305
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.680
cat, does that help a little
bit or is that sort of a is

306
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.799
that a non factor? You know, cats are one of those things that

307
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.519
it's a real fifty fifty proposition.
I mean, if you don't like a

308
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.599
really cute dog, especially it's a
three pound dog, then I don't want

309
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.039
anything to do with you anyways.
But cats are like other things that you

310
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:18.359
know, some people love them,
some people hate them, and uh,

311
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:23.400
it's sos is the cat discussion almost
like having the politics discussion on a first

312
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.359
date is going to go one way
or the other. And it's going to

313
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:32.720
be hard right or hard left.
Yeah, pretty pretty much. Cats and

314
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.759
politics. Man, it's gonna end
relationships. I mean the U I usually

315
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:45.119
don't I ease that one in because
also if I bring a stranger. If

316
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.480
anyone's strange comes into my place,
Julius is hiding for a good twenty four

317
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:55.359
hours. He he just doesn't like
other people. So I sometimes you can

318
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.920
get away with that until the second
date and then or if they come in

319
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:00.960
and then they're like, why do
you have cat litter all over the place,

320
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.720
I'm like, oh, my cats
an a hole. The next time

321
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.400
someone does that and ask why do
you have cat litter all over the place,

322
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:12.920
you need to tell them all the
toilet's broken. So if you need

323
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.960
to go, let me know.
I got you a special box. You

324
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:27.440
know what good enough for the Motley
crew? Uh chicks. Yeah, if

325
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:38.680
it's good at next to it?
So anyway, paper roller next to it,

326
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:48.480
you just squat over there, let
it air dry. Uh, put

327
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.839
a little bit day on the side
of it. But uh but yeah,

328
00:26:52.920 --> 00:27:00.200
that's uh. Cats are just like
I said, they're one of those things.

329
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.599
Unless you know someone says they're allergic
to them, it's like, all

330
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:10.559
right, well that's uh, then
you're out. Uh you know, because

331
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:15.160
I'm I'm not getting rid of the
cat. So you know, if I'm

332
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.680
online dating, that's when you know
I I do look for that. If

333
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.279
someone says, I don't like dogs, I don't like cats. Whatever,

334
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:23.759
you know, I don't care how
hot you are. I'm You're out.

335
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:30.480
It's not gonna work. Yep.
Well, your your profile photo on the

336
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:36.400
whatever app that you're on for for
online dating, is it just of you?

337
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.279
Or do you incorporate Daisy you'r Chihuala
into the photo to you know,

338
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:44.240
because you're cheating, or or maybe
the cat as well, Like what's what's

339
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:48.000
your profile photo? Game? Look
like? The profile photo will be just

340
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:55.920
me, but I will definitely put
pictures of Daisy in any profile because you

341
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.079
know, I don't have I don't
have that much going on to really do

342
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.319
much, but you know, Daisy
will push me over the edge and you

343
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:06.599
know, push me into a different
weight class, as it were, when

344
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:08.640
it comes to dating. It's amazing
to think that you add three pounds and

345
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.200
it sends you right into the next
the next tier. Yeah, so I

346
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.720
have I have a proposition here,
and I'm not sure, Trey, you

347
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:21.359
may end up hating this, and
that's kind of partly My hope is you've

348
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:25.480
been singing now for a while.
Jerry has not. Jerry has been for

349
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:29.599
many years now something of a swordsman
when it comes to the ladies, so

350
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.480
much so that on the radio show
when we would mention him, we gave

351
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.559
him theme music and so it was
it was a hot stepper song that would

352
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.680
come on when Jerry would, you
know, open the microphone. So my

353
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:48.079
proposition, especially now that we know
that Jerry will not be at the road

354
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:53.440
show July seventh, we need to
start working now because times of the essence.

355
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:59.000
My proposition is this, Trey,
you are single, Jerry, you

356
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:03.079
are not an Even if you were, you'd be. I've been near you

357
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.920
when you're single. You're just you're
successful at it. I think you.

358
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.640
I think Trey needs a romance coach
or a dating coach, and I think

359
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:17.880
Jerry you would be the best,
worst idea to to to take on that

360
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:26.160
role. I'm okay with that.
I'm not perfect. This makes me happy,

361
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.480
This brings me joy. So,
Jerry, what would you do?

362
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.680
What would you do to uh?
Because you've navigated you know, twenty first

363
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:40.119
century dating. Um, I mean
granted Toby, but uh, not nearly

364
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:45.960
as recently as you have. So
what would you recommend for Trey to start

365
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.359
doing or to start doing differently?
You know, to get him off the

366
00:29:51.400 --> 00:30:00.359
sidelines and into the game. Uh, well, you know I had the

367
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.480
radio show behind me, so that
was there was there was a lot of

368
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.000
power there. That does help a
lot. We all have experience with that.

369
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:11.119
The radio show does does help in
that arena. Um, I don't

370
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:17.880
feel like Trey, if you put
in your your headline or whatever on on

371
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:26.599
online dating. Let me tell you
about my podcast ISRAELI is gonna be very

372
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:32.279
effective. Um. So what do
you think then, Jerry? Should we

373
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:37.400
just go just start making stuff up
or what? Well? I mean,

374
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:45.359
eventually you're gonna have to justify that
profile. Um. You know, um

375
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:53.000
going to the places where people are
doing things that don't require a whole lot

376
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.279
of attention on their part so that
they you know, can see who walls

377
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:08.480
around them. Um, don't be
afraid to like have your swagger tray?

378
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:15.880
How is your swagger limited? All
right? Jerry, I think we found

379
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.880
an area of concern. No,
brother, sell it. It sounds like

380
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:26.240
it sounds like we need to get
Trey swag back. Yeah. I think

381
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:32.519
my swagger get uh taken from me? Um, who took your swag tray?

382
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:37.640
What's her life? I understand?
Yeah, that will happen. Uh,

383
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:44.200
Jerry, did you meet your girl
like online or out? I met

384
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:52.839
her at the pool hall that I
frequent. She was the waitress. Interesting,

385
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.720
yeah, and she had so you
had like you, she had been

386
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:02.200
waiting on you for a while and
then you worked your way up or just

387
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.079
or just wore her down. I'm
curious to see which way this goes.

388
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:14.839
Actually I was she first started working
there at the at the bull hall.

389
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:21.519
I uh, the guy that was
my roommate, he was the bouncer,

390
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:27.200
and uh, he introduced me to
her just briefly, and I sent her

391
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:31.759
a Facebook friend request. Oh yeah, sexy so and that I'm sorry,

392
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:39.519
go ahead. That sat there for
about eight months unrequited. Wow. Now

393
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:44.680
then do you know did she just
not check Facebook that often? Or you

394
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:49.160
were just she wasn't sure. I
was just accepting it. I was just

395
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:53.839
another one of the many. You
know, she's one of the man like

396
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:58.759
it like it did. Was she
used to like pulling trains or are you

397
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.240
talking? Like lots of guys sent
her requests a lot, so she just

398
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:04.640
ignored them all. I mean,
there's just a lot lots of guys sent

399
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.160
her friend requests. Okay, that
was my hell book A good yes,

400
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:14.839
yes, she's she's very popular up
there. Um, I mean, I

401
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:16.279
let me. I'll give you.
I'll give you a lot of credit,

402
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:21.079
Jerry, because anyone, you know, females that work in the service industry,

403
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.359
Dan, your wife did, and
they get hit on all the time.

404
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:28.960
So you have to have a fairly
you know, you have that fairly

405
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.079
good BS to get through. Yeah, because they've pretty much heard it all.

406
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:36.160
Well that's the thing. There was
no bs. I don't I really,

407
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:42.559
I really don't. So Jerry's game
is to not spit game exactly.

408
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:47.480
Just talk to them, engage them
like you would anybody else in any situation.

409
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:58.160
And you know, just while occasionally
making Crewe gestures, yeah, you

410
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.279
know, one or two just on
acsion, just so they know that you're

411
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:06.680
not going for the friend zone.
And I mean, that's that That's always

412
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:12.159
my biggest thing. Just do whatever
it is that you're gonna do. You

413
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.000
know, even if that's you know, I want to talk to you got

414
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.800
to you know, buy a drink. In her case, you want to

415
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:24.000
go see Willie Nelson. Um,
that that was what you and that that

416
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.039
was what you threw at her to
ask her out for the first time.

417
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.079
Is do you want to go see
Willie Nelson. Yes, when he came

418
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:36.519
back to uh, damn it,
what is it? In Fort Worth?

419
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:40.800
Billy Bob's. He was celebrating the
anniversary of his live album at Billy Bob's

420
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:44.840
and I had tickets to that,
and I asked her, was like,

421
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:47.840
hey, I want to go see
Billy Bob's. And we sat there and

422
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:51.159
chit chatted for a few minutes,
and she said, I'm going to give

423
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.840
you the hardest maybe I have ever
given anyone. I was like, all

424
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:59.719
right, that's fair, and I
got up and I went to talk to

425
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.119
Quinn, who was my roommate,
and I said, we're going to see

426
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:07.119
Willie, even though even though she
had just said maybe, right, all

427
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.920
right, so we're playing fast and
loose, fast and loose with the with

428
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:15.719
consent here. No, I was
just I was. I was like,

429
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:17.320
you're playing you're playing fast and loose
with consent. It's like, oh no,

430
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:23.039
she's going no, no, no. I wouldn't like that at all.

431
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:27.360
So then what finally pushed her over
the edge to go to see Willie.

432
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.559
I just kept going in there and
taking an opportunity to talk to her,

433
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:37.199
and you know, I asked her
about a bastard about herself, and

434
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.920
she actually accepted my friend's request.
And I found out that we were both

435
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:44.559
theater nerds, and we both like
musical theater, and you know, so

436
00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:46.639
we hit chatted about that a lot. We both have the same favorite musical

437
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:55.039
Sweetie Todd. So, Trey,
I understand this sounds like none of this

438
00:35:55.119 --> 00:36:00.639
would ever possibly work and and and
in it it shouldn't, but it's Jerry

439
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:04.239
and it does. So the thing
is, though, to keep in mind,

440
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:07.440
she's not right for you, Trey, because I know Trey that you

441
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:15.000
don't give a damn about Sweeney Todd
and a barber of Seville. But that

442
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.119
was something that he's the demon barber
of Fleet Street where we're Saville's an opera.

443
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:25.079
Ah, look are you getting schooled? Dan? Is he a barber?

444
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:32.119
You could say that, yes,
well, then close enough. The

445
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.000
point is Trey doesn't care about the
musical side of that of that side.

446
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:45.639
What you're saying holds true is that
basically Jerry's your tactic was too h wear

447
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:54.239
her down over time and take genuine
interest in her. Yes, I don't

448
00:36:54.239 --> 00:37:01.280
even wearing down part. I mean
I can take no it sounds like you

449
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:06.840
can, but you don't. I'm
going to say that I don't have to

450
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:09.840
take it very often. All of
a sudden, you sounded like you got

451
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:15.239
in the middle of a deposition.
It kind of felt like that a little

452
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:21.760
bit, a little bit of sweat
start to come across the brow. Well,

453
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:29.280
I just, hey, I'm I'm
not good especially you know, my

454
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:34.679
life has has been for the last
five years running a bar and tried not

455
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:38.440
to crap where I eat as it
were, and do a lot of picking

456
00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:45.119
up of women there and so.
But my problem is is I just I

457
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:52.920
have one one big negative and you
know it's hard to overcome that, and

458
00:37:53.880 --> 00:38:00.480
that is I'm an assule. This
is true, it's very feat accurate.

459
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:07.920
Yeah about you little listening to the
Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse on

460
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:22.880
air dot com. All right,
let's welcome into the Treehouse. Daniel Cook

461
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.639
from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration.
Their phone number eight three three Cook DFW.

462
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.119
The website is, of course cook
dfw dot com. So, Daniel,

463
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:37.039
I know things have been pretty pretty
hectic lately because all that hail that

464
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.000
everyone got in North Texas really did
a number on some roofs. Right,

465
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.800
Dan, you are not kidding Man, we have been really, really busy

466
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:49.880
this year. Unfortunately, we have
seen some traumatic damage all through the metroplex.

467
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:53.760
We've had some large hails. You
know, probably since twenty sixteen,

468
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:58.159
I haven't seen hells this size.
So this is a big year. Um.

469
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:00.480
You know, we had some speculation
in the beginning that we are going

470
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:05.639
to have a mount monster year because
of the La Nina and El Nino kind

471
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.559
of phase and the temperatures of the
ocean warming up. And I tell you

472
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:13.440
they are right. We are having
a record year. And it's really good

473
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.679
to get your homes protected. We're
seeing a ton of leaks, a ton

474
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:20.800
of shingles being flown off of homes, just multiple damages everywhere, man,

475
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:23.360
And it is really smart. Even
if someone thinks that they don't have any

476
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:27.199
visible damage, there's no water coming
through the roof, there's no shingles in

477
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.360
the yard. If a severe storm
hit and you saw hail on the ground,

478
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:32.880
especially of a decent size, it's
a good idea to go ahead and

479
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.440
give you a call at eight through
three Cook at the FW to take advantage

480
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.239
of that free roof inspection. Right, absolutely, Dan. We've had probably

481
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.199
one hundred calls in the last you
know, a couple of weeks and and

482
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:47.480
believe it or not, you know, maybe only thirty percent of those are

483
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:51.320
calls that probably need a roof.
So there's a lot of roofs out there

484
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:53.280
that don't need to be replaced,
that just maybe need to repair to.

485
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:58.519
But it's a piece of mind because
you don't want to be behind the eight

486
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:01.199
ball later on you have the leaks
happening in the middle of your party at

487
00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:05.920
your house, probably give Cook DFW
Roofing and Restoration a call to make sure

488
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:09.000
your roof is ready to withstand everything
mother nature will throw at it. Eight

494
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:36.000
there were lots of storms over the
last week, and I know typically when

495
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:38.639
people really need a plumber it's after
the winter storms because pipes are frozen.

496
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:43.000
But you know, when it gets
hotter, and after even summer storms,

497
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.119
people realize, you know what,
I got plumbing problems in the summer as

498
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:49.960
well. That's really true. Last
night, after hours, I was walking

499
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.440
around my own house doing laundry,
cleaning up and my phone rang and I

500
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.320
had a phone call from a very
distressed gentleman and he said, Hey,

501
00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:00.559
I just went to use my garden
host for the first time this summer because

502
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:02.440
it's so hot and it's leaking in
the wall when I turn it on.

503
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:06.400
And I asked him, you know, is this the first time you've tried

504
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.320
to use this hook up since the
last freeze we had, and he said

505
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:12.599
yes, And I said, well, I said, honestly, it probably

506
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:15.960
bursts during that freeze and you didn't
know because it only leaks when you turn

507
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:19.000
it on, and this is the
first time you've gone to use it,

508
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.519
And no big deal. We can
fix it. We're actually going to fix

509
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.000
it while he's at work on Monday, so it doesn't even have to be

510
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:28.719
there. We're going to do everything
from outside. But honestly, I know

511
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:30.039
we're way in advance. But the
best piece of advice I can give to

512
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:35.199
anybody in prepping for a freeze is
unhook your garden hoses from your hose bibs.

513
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:37.239
Just unhook them. That's one of
the bare minimum things you need to

514
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.400
do. But he just found out
in June, so people still are finding

515
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:44.960
the fallout from all these freezes we've
been having. So this is another great

516
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.679
reason to contact Rooks Plumbing because not
only their knowledge, but they're gonna get

517
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:52.519
you ready for the next wave of
things, so maybe you don't have to

518
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:54.320
call them in the future. Kind
of a weird business model, but it

519
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:58.440
works for so give them a call
for any and all of your plumbing needs.

a long time. What's that Jerry
known Jacqueline for a long time. That's

532
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:08.800
right, Jacqueline is the big boss
lady there at Brooks Plumbing, And like

533
00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:13.840
most people that know you, Jerry, no joking here, she speaks very

534
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:16.360
highly of you. And I also
don't think anyone holds it against you either,

535
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:19.639
right, No one holds it against
her. I don't hold it against

536
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:24.480
her that she knows you. What
about that she speaks highly of him,

537
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:30.199
that's a different story altogether. It's
it's still a new sponsor, Tray.

538
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:35.800
I don't want to piss her off
right away, all right. So yes,

539
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:39.360
here we are back in the treehouse
with Jerry caldwellf are one of our

540
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.800
former associate producers of the radio show
that we did back in the day,

541
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:47.199
and he still likes to pop in
the treehouse on occasion to gloat about still

542
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:52.159
having a job in radio. And
then he'll he'll leave the treehouse and run

543
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:57.559
away with his girlfriend Arkansas to make
Trey feel bad about himself, and then

544
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:00.679
won't be attending the road show,
which makes us sad, but that's okay.

545
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:04.119
We want you to be able to
enjoy your life, Jerry, enjoy

546
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:07.280
your life. Speaking of the road
show, that will be Friday, July

547
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:14.679
seven, from five to seven pm
at Daddy Rabbits Pub in Louisville. That's

548
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:16.239
pretty much it right now. I
mean, well, we'll be getting lots

549
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:21.920
of fun things planned for the day
itself. It'll be we'll be doing a

550
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:27.519
live recording there at the Daddy Rabbits
Pub in Louisville, and then that's on

551
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:31.760
Friday five to seven, and then
that episode will then drop the following Monday,

552
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:34.800
so that's how that works. It'll
be a lot of fun, So

553
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:37.519
market on your calendars be sure to
come and see us do the show live,

554
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:43.599
and you'll be in the show in
the background and or maybe even on

555
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:45.559
it somehow. I haven't figured out
all the details of all the things that

556
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.639
we'll be doing, but it'll be
fun. And of course they've got food

557
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:52.280
and drink, so that makes everything
better as well. If you're single and

558
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:57.119
you think Trey is hot, we
can probably work something out there as well.

559
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:07.119
Oh god, yeah, so this
doesn't apply to any of us.

560
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:09.400
But I saw something interesting and I
wanted to share it with you guys,

561
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:14.199
because it's you know, we're friends. You find you find something interesting,

562
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:15.000
you want to share it with your
buddy. So that's what I'm gonna do

563
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:23.280
right now. Did you guys know
that in nineteen twenty the United States Post

564
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:32.920
Office decided that children may not be
sent in the mail I do in the

565
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:37.960
twenties. Yeah, okay, yeah, that's uh should be pretty obvious.

566
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:42.320
Then at this point, if if
the Post Office had to come out and

567
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:46.519
say you can't mail your children,
that means somebody did right, like,

568
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:51.760
no exceptions. It wasn't like you
can't mail them unless there's a certain number

569
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:54.840
of air holes or I don't know
if they were some kind of padding or

570
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:59.159
something. I don't know if they
were that considerate back then. This from

571
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:04.639
Ships This from the Smithsonian. One
of the most overlooked yet most significant innovations

572
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:08.400
of the early twentieth century might be
the Post Office's decision to start shipping large

573
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:15.599
parcels and packages through the mail.
While private delivery companies flourished during the nineteenth

574
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:20.960
century, the parcel post dramatically expanded
their reach of mail order companies to America's

575
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.440
many rural communities, as well as
the demand for their products. When the

576
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:29.679
post Offices parcel post officially began on
January one, nineteen thirteen, the news

577
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:34.559
service suddenly allowed millions of Americans great
access to all kinds of goods and services.

578
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:39.039
But almost immediately it had some unintended
consequences, and some parents tried to

579
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:47.800
send their children through the mail.
According to the United States Postal Service historian

580
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:52.519
Jenny Lynch, she told The Smithsonian
it got some headlines when it happened,

581
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:58.760
probably because it was so cute.
Just a few weeks after the parcel post

582
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.880
began, an Ohio couple named Jesse
and Matilda Beagle mailed their eight month old

583
00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:09.519
son James to his grandmother, who
lived a few miles away. According to

584
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:15.159
Lynch, baby James was just shy
of the eleven pound weight limit for packages

585
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:20.519
sent via parcel post, so his
delivery cost his parents only fifteen cents in

586
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:24.559
postage, although they did ensure him
for fifty dollars. Oh that's good,

587
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:30.800
that's good. They could have head
there. The story soon made newspapers,

588
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:36.400
and for the next several years,
similar stories would occasionally surface as other parents

589
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:44.159
followed suit by mailing their children places
and the next few years, stories about

590
00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:46.719
children being mailed through rural routes would
crop up from time to time as people

591
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:51.440
pushed the limits of what could be
sent through the mail. In one famous

592
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:55.039
case, February nineteen, nineteen fourteen, a four year old girl named Charlotte

593
00:47:55.079 --> 00:48:00.960
May Pierstaff was mailed via train from
her home in Rangeville, Idaho, to

594
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:07.159
her grandparents' house, around seventy three
miles away. Her story became so legendary

595
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:15.920
that it was even made into a
children's book, Mailing May I smell a

596
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:22.760
Netflix reboot. Oh Jesus, things
like this, when you hear about it,

597
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:27.599
or when you see okay, hey, on this date in history,

598
00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:31.599
it was decided you can't do this. You know, it's because someone did

599
00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:36.880
it, and this is one of
the great and terrible examples of it.

600
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:42.960
But I get it. I like
to think that even back in the early

601
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:45.400
in the early nineteen hundreds, like
that, kids were driving their parents so

602
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:52.960
crazy that they threatened them with mailing
them to their grandparents. Let's play a

603
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:59.519
game. Get in the box,
see t you, Trey. It was

604
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:15.039
a game. To May it was
real life. Be sure to follow all

00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:36.599
well. For me social media at
the Dan O'Malley. For Trey, it's

609
00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:39.519
at Trey Trenholme. One, Jerry, what are your socials? But I

610

am that Jerry guy across the social
universe at that Jerry guy. We'll see

you next time in the Treehouse.
See if later.
