EPISODE 33: Drinking, Driving, and Communism

WEBVTT

1
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:33.320
All right, welcome into the Treehouse
once again. This is I don't know

2
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:37.280
about you, guys, but this
is definitely my happy place. Joined in

3
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:45.079
the Treehouse today as always, dear
friend and old radio producer and co host

4
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.079
all the good stuff from the radio
days now in the digital space, Trey

5
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:53.640
Trenholme, and certainly not to be
left out, the longest running member of

6
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.960
the show, partly because he's not
dead or in jail, but mainly because

7
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.159
he's the rock and roll attorney that
is Everett Newton. Hey, Everett,

8
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.959
Hey, Yeah, I'm avoiding the
curse. I'm glad you mentioned the cars.

9
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.879
I'm glad you mentioned the curse because
coming up on our second segment,

10
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.560
I know it's not like us to
typically tease things, but we're just throwing

11
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.359
all sorts of caution to the wind
these days. In our second segment,

12
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.200
I believe Trey has also broken a
portion of the Treehouse curse, so we'll

13
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.760
get into that a little bit later. But I am proud of you,

14
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:34.040
Everett, for avoiding that curse,
because obviously many have not. It's proven

15
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.879
very difficult to sidestep. I feel
pretty good so far, but I also

16
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.879
don't want to jinx it by feeling
too comfortable about it. I do live

17
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.079
in a place, by the way
that cement trucks coming around the corner down

18
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:53.280
the middle of the road is a
very, very common thing. I really

19
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.400
don't know why it is so one. I don't know why it is that

20
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.239
in the Virgin Islands we drive on
the left. Don't know why, but

21
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:08.039
we do. They're various, you
know, stories or legends as you know,

22
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.439
gossip as the reasons why. And
I can't find any practical reason as

23
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.240
to why we drive on the left
here. The steering wheels and everything are

24
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.360
also on the left, so it's
normal state side cars. But for whatever

25
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.879
reason, we're supposed to drive on
the left. Not that it matters,

26
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:24.560
because a lot of the locals here
just drive down the middle of the damn

27
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.680
road anyway, and they just get
over at the last second whenever they just

28
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.599
absolutely have to, because most of
the roads here are just you know,

29
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.479
two lane roads with a yellow stripe
if you're lucky, If you're lucky,

30
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.759
there's a yellow stripe. I was
about to say when I went down there

31
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.000
to see about fifty percent of the
roads have no such yellow stripe. It's

32
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.280
it seems a little more of a
free for all. Yeah, if it

33
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:47.879
wasn't for the views, don't the
roads look a lot like Leonard, Texas?

34
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:54.280
Tray make some of those roads make
Leonard look like they've got a big

35
00:02:54.280 --> 00:03:00.199
infrastructure plan, like a top ten
municipality. Yeah, lead, Yeah,

36
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.960
at least there's some gravel on on
the roads. And so I see,

37
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:14.719
Trey, you've been enlisted to help
perpetuate the myth. Yes, I've tray.

38
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.240
Actually, Trey actually straddles the myths. Sometimes he likes to say,

39
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.719
yeah, I've been to Saint Thomas, I've seen Dan's house. He lives

40
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.280
there. And other times he likes
to throw out nonsensical things like having visited

41
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:31.439
me in Saint Tulsa jerk. Well, at least at least he has a

42
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.759
conscience. That's what that tells me, is that he can't he can't support

43
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.599
you all the time. His conscience
gets the better of him. That are

44
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:45.520
just funnier to you know, make
it sound like Dan's in Oklahoma. It

45
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.400
is really you're a liar. I
think it really is easier for some people

46
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.199
to digest. And it's like,
oh, he's not living in Paradise,

47
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.719
He's just in Oklahoma. Sure,
Okay, whatever makes you feel better,

48
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:03.000
well ahead. And it's you can't
really it until you've been there and seeing

49
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:09.039
it. You don't really fully appreciate
that. Really it is paradise. Although

50
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.919
I did see that you know,
y'all are going through a heat wave because

51
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.199
you know, occasionally when the weather's
miserable here, I like to look at

52
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.879
the you know, weather in Saint
Thomas and usually you know, it's if

53
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.759
it's a bad day, you're you're
at seventy nine degrees or something like that

54
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.600
at night. Yeah. Yeah,
at the other the other day, because

55
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:33.399
I mean we were my throng,
it was like, temperature is only eighty

56
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.319
six, but it felt like a
hundred because the humidity has been so bad

57
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.240
here. And then I looked over
there and it said, you know,

58
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.000
you were kind of in the same
boat. Yeah, yeah, it's it's

59
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.279
it's been kind of a heat wave
here. It's so the high temperature might

60
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.759
say eighty eight or ninety, but
the heat indecks will be one hundred or

61
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.079
one hundred and two. Um.
So in that regard, it kind of

62
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.240
feels like Texas. The good thing
is. The good thing is, though,

63
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.439
is we still get the trade winds, so that makes it a lot

64
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:08.680
better. So it's not it's it's
it's better than Texas as far as the

65
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.639
weather goes. But in some days
it feels exactly like it because it also

66
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.000
is like one hundred and five.
At least it feels like it. Yeah,

67
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.120
But the other thing it's got to
be better for you is you're not

68
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.439
sitting there going, well, this
is just the beginning of it. That's

69
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:27.920
true. Yeah, you're not looking
forward to August when it's one hundred degrees

70
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.839
and it feels like one hundred and
twelve. And also it's it's I don't

71
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.720
mind if it feels like a hundred
degrees here because I can look out the

72
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.480
window down at the beach and I'm
not stuck on six thirty five or I'm

73
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:43.879
not stuck on thirty five and Western
Center. All right, that's probably enough

74
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.079
bragging for now. I will give
you. I will give you this,

75
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.199
Dan, your pattern has improved as
time is going on. You've refined your

76
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:58.560
act. Thank you, Everett.
I take my I take my lying prowess

77
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.560
very seriously. Excellent, well well
done. And as an attorney, you've

78
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.040
you've dealt with tons of liers in
your career, so you know a good

79
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.120
one. When you when you when
you hear one, Oh yeah, now

80
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.439
you're good. I'll give you that. So I've even listened tray to help

81
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.879
out is genius. So yeah,
kudos to both of you. Thank you.

82
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.120
It's I guess it's a nice thing
to be able to move up in

83
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:28.759
the world to mastermind. Yes.
So speaking of roads that are treacherous here,

84
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.199
and they're treacherous everywhere. Everyone's a
you know, every no matter where

85
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.480
you live, there's terrible drivers.
Back in the day, we didn't have

86
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.680
the laws that we do today.
Now, I will say this. In

87
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:45.199
the Virgin Islands, drinking and driving
is it is an offense. You can

88
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.959
get arrested for it, although apparently
it's very rare for the most part.

89
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.600
They just it's kind of like the
good old days. They ask you where

90
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.720
you're going, how far it is
to get there, and they say be

91
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:58.519
careful. Um, I've not experienced
that yet, but I've met people have

92
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.160
been like, as no big deal. Whereas you get pulled over in North

93
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:08.439
Texas even if they just kind of
suspect you for drinking and driving, you're

94
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:14.759
going downtown. But it didn't always
used to be that way. So I

95
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:21.360
saw the other day what it was
like in the eighties when those new traffic

96
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:29.000
laws were enacted, and those were
the drinking and driving laws. And like

97
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.720
most laws that get passed today,
as soon as a new law gets passed,

98
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.199
everybody's mad at it. Everybody hates
it and thinks that, oh,

99
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:42.160
we're you know, we're becoming,
you know, the Soviet Union because we

100
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.600
have too many laws on the books. So I want to share this with

101
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.800
you guys. This was a news
report in the eighties. I don't know

102
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:55.560
the exact TV station, but it
really doesn't matter. It sounds like Texas,

103
00:07:55.639 --> 00:08:00.600
I will say that. And this
is what some of the folks who

104
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:05.920
were driving around had to say about
the new drinking and driving laws in the

105
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.360
United States. So Everett, tell
me if any of this sounds familiar in

106
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:16.399
your criminal defense career. Well,
any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here

107
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.560
is viewed by some as downright undemocratic. It's kind of getting common. As

108
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.360
one fella king and I put in
a hard day's work, put in eleven

109
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.600
twelve hours a day, and then
getting your truck in the lace running one

110
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:33.960
or two beers. They're making it
law. That really does it really is

111
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.120
a blessed from the past. It's
like, man, I remember those days.

112
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.440
I remember those days as a kid
looking in the car next to me

113
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.919
and seeing, you know, you
know, a guy in his truck just

114
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.240
chugging a beer. It was no
big deal. And you know, we

115
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.919
didn't have to worry about paper bags
back then. They just you just drink

116
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.679
the beer. It didn't matter.
No. I was having this discussion the

117
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.399
other day because it's kind of a
gen X thing, and I was like,

118
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.519
you know, I was like,
y'all don't understand, I said,

119
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.799
I was growing up. I said, Hey, there no car seats,

120
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.919
and we didn't really we didn't have
to wear seatbelt seatboat. That law didn't

121
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.600
even take effect until like eighty or
eighty one. And you know, my

122
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.519
dad is, you know, we're
driving in the car and he's got a

123
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.720
Jim Beamon sod to smoke in a
Carlton. And that's when you learn,

124
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.440
because you know that you're safe.
My safe space was in between the back

125
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.720
windshield and the back seat, that
little sliver right there, because that was

126
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.960
a one space. Your dad could
not reach back and hit you while he's

127
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.000
having a cigarette, smoke or drink
and driving a car. But but if

128
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.639
the timing worked out that you did
something that he needed to swat you for,

129
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.799
but he couldn't reach you, and
the timing was so that he was

130
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.039
almost done with that cigarette, he
could turn and just flick it right at

131
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.879
you and hits you square in a
face. Oh yeah, no he could.

132
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.559
But my dad had the other So
I don't know any if y'all ever

133
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.960
gets you ass whipped on the side
of the road, yes, okay,

134
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.840
so yeah, my dad had no
qualms about I mean, I thought about

135
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.600
this today. I have had my
ass whipped on I thirty thirty five,

136
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.679
seventy five, sixty eight, sixty
nine, and seventy eight the roads.

137
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.759
I can remember. You're just a
just a child, abused vagrant. Usually

138
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:18.120
people can drive. Usually people can
drive around North Texas and they'll say things

139
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.840
like, oh, I've been to
that restaurant or oh I've had sex there,

140
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.960
and instead if you're going around town
with tray trays, I've had my

141
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.879
ass beat there. I've had my
ass beat there. Oh yeah, oh

142
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.759
I I there. There are multiples, especially for some reason because we used

143
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.320
to go to Mountain Vernon and in
between Sulfur Springs and Mount Vernon. I

144
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.519
could probably pick out about four spots
along I thirty that I'd say, yep,

145
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.759
I have mass whipped there there there. It'd be awesome if the Department

146
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.360
Transportation put up some yellow signs,
you know, with a picture of Tray

147
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.960
or like asswhipping areas. It's like
like one of those brown historical marker signs.

148
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.639
Yeah, they could even you know, maybe make a little parking area

149
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.720
so you know, other people see
those that go ahead. See boy,

150
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.399
Yeah, sure, the rest area
is coming up in two miles, but

151
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:18.080
before you get to the rest area, you get the whooping area. Yeah,

152
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.840
why why wait to two miles?
We need to just pull over on

153
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.480
the side of the road and get
it done now. Area here, Yeah,

154
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.279
because you know, back in Tray's
day there was no designated area.

155
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.120
The entire shoulder of the highway was
a designated whooping area. So it would

156
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:41.240
be nice to think, okay,
if there's at least a designated whooping area,

157
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.200
you can't pull over until you get
to it. So maybe Dad will

158
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.559
have calmed down a little bit over
those next five to ten miles, whereas

159
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:52.200
in Tray's day it's just immediate whooping
right then and there it'd be a lot

160
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.159
safer for everyone. But what a
what a scene that would be if you

161
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.399
just happen to just casually pull into
the whooping area and you just see like

162
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.840
sixty parents whoop and sixty kids asses
next to a coke machine and a toilet.

163
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:11.440
How terrible would it be? Just
like a like a structure and there's

164
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.399
it's uh, instead of a coke
machine, maybe gets a belt machine.

165
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.480
Yeah, they could dispense belts and
kleenexes and you know, monetize the thing

166
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:26.799
so that it's self sustaining and the
little sign for afterwards that says, I

167
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:33.759
take no pleasure in this. Yeah, it's just harder. Yeah, Dan,

168
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.360
the one thing you said that it's
wrong. It wouldn't be a one

169
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.679
to one ratio of parents kids because
back in those days, you know,

170
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.480
your parents had cart launched whip your
friends asses too, and you know vice

171
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.519
versa. So if you had any
friends in the car, cheezes are everyone

172
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.720
was gonna get their ass whips.
So it's probably about a two to one,

173
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.840
you know, kid to parent ratio. Yeah, And when you first

174
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.120
drive up on it, you assume
the parents are out number, but then

175
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.080
you realize what they pulled an extra
belt out of the machine. So now

176
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.080
they're now they're double twirling. Well, the other thing I don't know that

177
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.600
anyone is you were so traumatized at
that age that you knew you could run,

178
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.320
but you were just you know,
at a certain point you learned that

179
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.480
was just gonna make it worse.
Well, also because you knew if you

180
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.200
ran, by the time they caught
you, and they would catch you,

181
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.799
they would beat you so bad you'd
never want to run again. Also because

182
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.600
it would hurt too bad to run. Yeah, but when I got to

183
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.159
be about, yeah, fourteen,
fifteen years old, that's when I finally

184
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.360
realized I could outrun my dad,
and I could keep going long enough that

185
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.480
he was gonna get so exhausted that
I could I could win this battle.

186
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.360
I mean, I still had to
go home sooner or later, but I

187
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.320
knew, you know, given three
four hours, chances are he'd calm down

188
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.879
a bit. But he was also
probably kind of proud of me that we've

189
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.919
been running for three or four hours. It's like it's a good thing that

190
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.120
it's a good thing you took,
it's a good thing you did cross country.

191
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.279
I was not a high jumper by
any means. But I will say

192
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.320
this, if there had been video
back in the day, I look damn

193
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.679
athletic hopping over fences trying to get
away from my dad. That's what you

194
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:22.080
should have done. And back in
your track days, uh, cross country

195
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.480
was more for training to run away
from your father and then the high jump.

196
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.120
If he was there behind you trying
to whip you, you would just

197
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.879
set new personal records, new district
records, all sorts of stuff. Thank

198
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.519
god my dad had gotten fat at
that point, because otherwise it would have

199
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.120
been worse. It had been it
had been game over. Those Carlton's probably

200
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.080
helped your calls too. Try Yeah, that's they most definitely did. Yeah,

201
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:50.960
that's the performance de enhancing of substances. So there's a little bit more

202
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.919
on this. I who I want
to back up and have fun with.

203
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.559
As far as the new drinking and
driving laws of the eighties, again,

204
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.480
commin is one put in a hard
day's work, put in eleven twelve hours

205
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.519
a day, and then getting your
truck in the lace running one or two

206
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.120
beers. They're making it laws where
you can't drink when you want to,

207
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.960
can't you have to wear a seat
belt when you're driving. What I love

208
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.000
about this is they're talking to this
woman who's who's in the driver's heat of

209
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.240
her car, and just like the
good old eighties, what's in the front

210
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:28.720
seat next to her the baby,
And she's defending not wearing seat belts and

211
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.840
being able to drink and drive in
your car while next to a baby.

212
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:41.440
It really just goes to show that
with enough time, things do have a

213
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.600
tendency to, if not change,
at least evolve a little bit. Because

214
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:50.200
by today's standards, the vast majority
of us are okay with drinking and driving

215
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:56.399
laws. We all agree, even
though we may not always abide by them,

216
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.360
which is why Everett has such a
lucrative career. We at least agree

217
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.639
that they should be there. No, and you didn't have to have insurance

218
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:11.039
back then. Really that wasn't mandatory
either. When did insurance come into play,

219
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.320
I would say that early well maybe
not even the early eighties. It

220
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.600
might have even been later than that, but yeah, I don't remember well

221
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.240
when insurance became mandatory and you know, oh my god, you know we've

222
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:29.799
got to pay money to have insurance
because it's illegal not to have insurance.

223
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.440
I just find it if you really
think about it. It really is fascinating

224
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.840
that we're all still standing and have
you know, we're not mentally damaged,

225
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:47.759
have some kind of you know,
traumatic brain injury, and have both eyes.

226
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.120
I mean not only we wrote around
you know, our parents were drinking,

227
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.840
no seat belt, no car seat, and we had BB gun wars

228
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.559
and you know, our parents and
we're saying, don't get drush shot out.

229
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:03.919
I mean that's you know, have
a metal trash can lid as a

230
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:11.720
shield. And yeah, it's really
things with our bicycles. Yeah, all

231
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.160
the things, all the things that
that you know, And this is part

232
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.200
of the problem. Also, it's
like people think, well, you you

233
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.599
now, you're just you know,
like the government, you're making laws where

234
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.160
kids can't have fun anymore and adults
can't have fun anymore. And you know

235
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.920
what we are, we're just we're
just turning into a communist country. And

236
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.039
there's a reason why you say that, because, uh, the whole communist

237
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:34.200
country thing. Even though it sounds
or feels like a new allegation that people

238
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:40.440
throw out when they feel like their
freedoms are being um infringed upon, it's

239
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.960
it's actually not a new thing.
Uh, It actually happened all the way

240
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.960
back in the eighties with this mama
driving with her baby and defending not wearing

241
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.880
a seat belt and drinking and driving. You have to wear a seat belt

242
00:17:51.880 --> 00:18:00.880
when you're driving. We're gonna be
calmunist country for any pretty soon. Any

243
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.359
day now, any day, it's
gonna happen. You know what's gonna happen.

244
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.279
There's no there's no getting around it. Back in nineteen eighty whatever,

245
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.160
before you know it, we're going
to be a communist country. Now it's

246
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.319
twenty twenty three, and we're still
saying that. Some of us are saying

247
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.200
that. My whole time favorite comment
from a DWI defendant is I had this

248
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.759
client one time. He and his
wife were with me at court and he'd

249
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.200
had a priority to BI and I
was representing him on a second DWI and

250
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.599
I was explaining to them that,
okay, now you know, these have

251
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:37.400
both been misdemeanors, but the next
one, it's gonna be a felony if

252
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.039
you get another one, just to
let you know. And he got this

253
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.880
incredulous, incredulous look on his face
and said, a felony. I'm gonna

welcome into the treehouse now. Rodney
Anderson his phone number nine seven two nine

website Rodney Anderson dot com. You know,

257
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.599
Rodney, I know, for over
forty years you've ben helping people with

258
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.599
cash out refinances to get out of
debt. And debt is getting worse right

259
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.720
now because credit card debt, medical
debt, interest rates going up. The

260
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.559
debt is getting worse for people.
So what can you do to help somebody?

261
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:27.680
Let me give you an example of
Mark and his wife. We have

262
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.440
so many people moving forward on cash
out refis, but Mark and his wife

263
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.079
are a great example. Here's somebody
that lives in South Lake. They're homeless,

264
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.839
worth about nine hundred and fifty thousand. They only owe four hundred and

265
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:44.480
fifteen thousand dollars on their mortgage.
He had some medical issues and those medical

266
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.960
issues got financed on credit cards.
He lost income for a little while,

267
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.960
and now he's got eighty five thousand
dollars in debt. But they have some

268
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.279
home repairs that they have to do
as well, so they're pulling out one

269
00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:00.880
hundred and seventy thousand dollars get this. Their current mortgage righteous real in the

270
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.599
twos but they're moving up on rate, but they're paying so much interest on

271
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:10.079
credit cards and other loans and all
that between their mortgage and their credit cards.

272
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.839
Right now, they're paying fifty nine
hundred dollars a month. When we

273
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:17.839
do the cash out refi, it's
saving them six hundred dollars a month.

274
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.480
And all they have is one mortgage
now, no credit card, debt,

275
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:23.960
no nothing, and so DAN.
A lot of times people have to see

276
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.680

sitting there, going should I refin?

Well, if you're in debt and
you've got fifty seventy eighty thousand dollars,

278
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.880
ask yourself, am I going to

00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:57.640
recently, give Cook DFW Roofing and
Restoration to call eight three three Cook DFW

298
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.119
eight three three Cook DFW or again
the website Cook dfw dot com for Cook

299
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:11.759
DFW roofing and Restoration. So evert
you mentioned earlier that as the longest running

300
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.680
member of the show because you first
started on on Russ Martin Show back in

301
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.680
the late nineties, you were coming
on once a week on the show and

302
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.960
answering legal questions and you know,
just having fun in general on the show.

303
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.279
The only other person that at one
point out last that had longer tenure

304
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:36.359
was obviously Russ Well, then he
stopped showing up to work a few years

305
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:41.200
before before he passed away, and
then you surpassed him, and then of

306
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.759
course he eventually, you know,
died and then you really overtook him as

307
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.079
far as longest running show member.
And then other things transpired with other people

308
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:56.519
around the show that either died or
went to jail, and as it stands

309
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:03.960
now, it's basically you Everett as
the lead dog as far as longest tenured

310
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:11.880
member of the show than me.
And now because of either death, jail,

311
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.640
or just quitting Trey, congratulations,
you're now in the third spot.

312
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:26.039
Doesn't it feel good? I'm still
alive even with what a nine ten year

313
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:33.039
absence between the show on the radio
and the show here on podcast form,

314
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.880
You're still sitting pretty on the podium
at number three. You're getting the bronze,

315
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:44.279
baby, Yeah. I mean it's
a double edged sword because we're the

316
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:49.279
soul survivors. But if the curse
in fact is still acting, the question

317
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:56.359
becomes who's next? I don't know, and it scares me to think about

318
00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:02.960
it. Um. The good news
is, though, since you've clearly you've

319
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.599
you've been breaking the curse all along. And granted we didn't know there was

320
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.720
a curse to begin with until a
handful of years ago. Like there are

321
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:17.279
always things that had happened two people
around the show that might have been occasionally

322
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:19.960
on the show here and there,
but then once things really started happening to

323
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:23.480
people on the show, it's like, okay, this this feels like a

324
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:27.440
thing now. So you've been beating
at the entire time so far. I

325
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:32.680
guess I kind of have two behind
you. But now Trey has done something

326
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:38.480
to sort of release any sort of
any curse feelings, because Trey was able

327
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:45.960
to accomplish something recently that even I
can't say that that I've accomplished in the

328
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.200
last you know, eight nine months. Trey, do you feel like bragging?

329
00:24:49.880 --> 00:25:00.359
Yeah, I got a job.
It's a miracle. Congratulations, that's

330
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:06.480
awesome. Thank you. You're very
happy for you to Trey. Thank you.

331
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:10.599
Yes, I'll be working at a
place called The Standard Poor on McKenney

332
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.599
Avenue. Look at that. It
took him all thirty seconds to get that

333
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:21.640
first plug in there, Dance Skinny, The Standard Poor uptown in Dallas.

334
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.240
Yep. Love that place. And
I'm not just saying that because you're working

335
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:27.680
there now and I expect a drink
or two when I get there, but

336
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:30.319
I actually do love that place.
They have a great brunch, Yeah,

337
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:37.119
they do. That's great brunch,
great, especially great whiskey selection. So

338
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:42.839
it's a cool spot. I'm excited
about it. It's a very cool ownership

339
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:48.680
group. And I thank god I
found them and had a good interview and

340
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:53.000
actually had people connected with because if
I got rejected by No the thirty year

341
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.039
old, I was probably gonna just
go throw myself off of a building.

342
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.200
Yeah. The uh, the service
industry tends to be, you know,

343
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:10.759
especially if it's bars that tends to
be dominated by by younger folk. Younger

344
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.480
folk. Yeah, and I and
I they're part of it. I understand.

345
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:21.920
I have a very odd looking resume, but you know it encompasses running

346
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:23.799
bars, owning part of a bar, and then you know radio and real

347
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:30.440
estate and all sorts of other crap
and uh, but you know, you

348
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.279
have two ways to go with someone
with experience. Either you embrace it and

349
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.960
a priest think they can add something
with this, you know my new bosses

350
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:44.400
saw, or you feel threatened by
it and just don't even return a phone

351
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.759
call. So is that what the
is that what you think the thirty year

352
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:52.440
olds were doing? They were intimidated
by your by your resume. I think

353
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:55.079
some of them, I mean not
all, I mean they're I mean I

354
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:57.839
met with some people who are really
sharp and you know, may just not

355
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:02.680
have wanted the old fart working for
him. See that's kind of what I

356
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.119
assume, because if if I'm a
thirty year old and i'm you know,

357
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:08.680
I'm in the position to hire a
general manager of a bar, restaurant whatever,

358
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:14.440
somebody's cool, and then incomes of
incomes, what I'm assuming is a

359
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:18.200
boomer even though you're not a boomer, Tray, You're you're like me,

360
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:25.519
You're part of Gen X, and
but anyone older you just by now by

361
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:27.440
like today's standards is pretty much like, oh, here comes the boomer coming

362
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.559
in for a job interview. So
I kind of assumed that there was a

363
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.720
little bit of agism at play.
So did you try to did you try

364
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:40.000
to battle that agism at all that
you decide to go to invest in some

365
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.680
just for men before interviews or anything. No, never even crossed your mind.

366
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.480
No, I have never, you
know, I'm I am grateful to

367
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:56.160
still have hair, so if gray
hair has never bothered me one bit,

368
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.920
Nor have I ever thought about dyeing
my hair or anything like that. Uh

369
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:07.319
No, I mean now I did, Like there was one person I interviewed

370
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.680
with that I did make a terminal
mistake. And I knew the minute I

371
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:23.440
said something. What was it?
Um? We were talking about um efficiency

372
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:30.359
in liquor and and you know what
your liquor cost was and everything else.

373
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.799
And they were telling me, oh, you know ours is and the liquor

374
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:41.279
cost is basically the amount you paid
for a product divided by the amount you

375
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.920
sold said product for and you come
up with a number, and so there

376
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.640
there's factors in there. What are
you charging, how much you pouring everything

377
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.279
else? But this person said,
oh, no, you know, and

378
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:59.079
despite what you hear other some people
say like most places you run around twenty

379
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.519
percent, especially when you factor in
everything is a lot of waste and draft

380
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.400
beer and everything else. But this
person said, oh no, we you

381
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.559
know have fifteen percent lookuor costs.
And I've kind of looked at them funny,

382
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:12.079
really, and then they told me. They're like, I go,

383
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.359
well, how much is your poor? And they're like, oh, we

384
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.799
poor this amount and I said,
huh, I said, sorry, your

385
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.759
bartenders and they were pouring this amount. And so you know, if you

386
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.680
were to say we're pouring two ounces
and you really only pouring ounce and a

387
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.240
half, it makes your numbers look
a lot better than they actually are because

388
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:37.079
you know, technically you're saving a
quarter ounce every poor versus your report.

389
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:44.599
So anyways, I learned I shouldn't
correct people in an interview or even have

390
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.640
a look on my face like,
yeah, you're an idiot. Next time,

391
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:53.440
lead with that. Yeah, so
you didn't try just for men.

392
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.960
But but I'm thinking maybe it's some
different Maybe you change your look like something

393
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:07.079
mod, maybe some platform shoes and
a nehru jacket, just go full disguise.

394
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:15.079
Can I wear a monocle too?
I would strongly encourage a monocle people

395
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:21.000
underestimate the power of the monocle.
You laugh, but I think it gives

396
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:27.160
an air of aristocracy. I mean, look at mister Peanut. Yeah,

397
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.319
you know, mister Peanut has never
been rejected for a job. No,

398
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:34.079
he rose straight about the top.
We had one interview and that was as

399
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.920
mister Peanut. He put on the
he put on the monocle and boomed.

400
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.279
The job was his and he's never
had to look back. He's been there

401
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:48.400
ever since, probably like sixty seventy
years. What about a pipe? A

402
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:55.000
pipe is good, but a monocle
is better? Okay? Is being rejected

403
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.440
by a bunch of thirty year olds? Is that why you've been telling us

404
00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:03.200
all about moisturizing Trey, trying to
trying to keep that youthful appearance. It's

405
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.720
like, sure there's some gray up
here, but yeah, but look at

406
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:14.799
look at the baby smooth face.
Um, you know, I guess kind

407
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.079
of. I that's just one of
those things I've I mean, being that

408
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:26.200
I'm starting to look fifty. I
mean, I'm it's our fifties less a

409
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.640
little more than a year away.
I just I see people my age and

410
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:32.319
I'm like, oh crap, your
aging really badly and I don't want to

411
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.359
do that next thing. You know, you're diving face first into a into

412
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:41.640
a tub of dove. Oh and
yeah, but uh so, yeah,

413
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.559
that's and honestly, that's one of
those things I've wish I could go back,

414
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:49.640
you know, twenty years ago and
find my younger self, slap the

415
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.359
crap out of him and say,
you know, go to AA and start

416
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:57.440
moisturizing. You know, most people
would take the back to the future route

417
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.240
where they say, Okay, you're
gonna bet on the MAVs in twenty eleven.

418
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.680
You know, if I was going
to do that, I'd be like,

419
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:12.720
you know, go buy bitcoin and
oh eight. Yeah, there's sort

420
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:15.599
of a laundry list of things that
we could then go back and tell our

421
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:19.200
younger selves. The problem with that
would be is, at least for me,

422
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.799
I'd have to go back to tell
my younger self things to invest in.

423
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:24.279
But in order to do it,
I'd have to give myself money because

424
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:27.880
I didn't have any at the time. I remember this. We were at

425
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:31.240
Yeah, I was at the truck
yard over Greenville Avenue and talking to this

426
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:36.319
girl and she was adamant, said, and this is like twenty twelve,

427
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.319
and she said, if you give
me five thousand dollars right now, you

428
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:45.720
will be a multimillionaire in ten years. And man, she was right,

429
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:52.240
because I think I figured it out
that would have it would have been something

430
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:59.519
like, I mean, well over
one hundred million dollars. How did she

431
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:01.960
how did she at the time say
she was going to take your five thousand

432
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:07.079
dollars and turn you into multi millionaire. She was trading bitcoin like she was

433
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:13.000
doing like she was one of the
like had It was just becoming a thing,

434
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:17.880
and she was she knew more about
cryptocurrency than and but she was at

435
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:21.039
and she's like, if you invest
in it right now, she goes,

436
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:23.000
you'll be you know, set for
the rest of your life if you give

437
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:25.519
it ten years. And it wouldn't
even that. I think really it was

438
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:31.440
about six or seven before it just
went through the roof. Now is she

439
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:36.480
is she a multi millionaire or did
she hang onto her crypto and now she's

440
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.920
And now she's out behind the bar
that you work out asking for scraps.

441
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:44.440
You know. I don't know what
happened to her, but I would be

442
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.119
willing to bet she is retired,
living off an island in an island,

443
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:53.480
well I'm halfway there, you know. I well, there were I you

444
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:58.799
read stories. I mean I forgot
who it was saying about how they let

445
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:04.960
someone pay him in bitcoin and and
like they paid for a like Domino's pizza

446
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:09.920
and managed to give the delivery driver
talk him into taking bitcoin. It paid

447
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:15.159
him like five thousand you know,
bitcoins or something. I mean, at

448
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:19.000
the other time, it was like
a penny or whatever for a pizza.

449
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.320
If that guy still had those bitcoins, oh my god, he'd probably owned

450
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:29.960
Dominoes at least a lot of franchises. I mean, you would take it.

451
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.480
When it hit ten thousand, so
yeah, I mean that's you know,

452
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:38.639
fifty million right there. Yeah,
that's not a bad day, Yeah,

453
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:42.880
considering it. Really it went up
to sixty three thousand, any idea

454
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:47.000
where it is now twenty in the
mid twenties, I believe. Wow,

455
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:51.400
I'm still surprised by that because to
me, the whole thing and I realized

456
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:53.760
this, uh, not the most
recent super Bowl, but I think the

457
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:59.000
Super Bowl prior where all those crypto
ads were like Matt Damon telling you it's

458
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.320
like, hey, this is this
at the future you got to jump on

459
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:05.400
and what was it? Fortune favors
the bold it's like no fortune favor.

460
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:08.840
Like, what you're doing is you're
telling me someone that owns a bunch of

461
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:14.440
bitcoin or cryptocurrency that an order for
your cryptocurrency to be worth it, damn,

462
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:17.079
you need the general public to buy
into it as well, because if

463
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:20.639
they don't, then it's not worked
nearly as much. It's just more of

464
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:22.880
like, Okay, fine, you
own a few things over there, but

465
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.360
that's really no big deal to me
because I think it's you know, fake

466
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:30.199
or whatever. So that always to
me, it's sort of seemed like it,

467
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.559
only it wasn't a straight up scam. But in order for it to

468
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:37.559
make sense, in order for it
to actually be a real thing, a

469
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.039
bunch of other people got to buy
into it. Kind of like the New

470
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:43.159
York Stock Exchange. You can say, hey, I have a stock exchange

471
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:46.039
now, but if no one buys
into it, then you're just adud to

472
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:51.639
a kiosk. The money now in
crypto is not in the buying and selling

473
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:53.119
of it, but in the mining
of it. I have a friend who

474
00:35:53.119 --> 00:36:00.920
went in with another friend and bough
an abandoned prison in West Texas so that

475
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.719
they could set up a bitcoin mining
operation. They have all this space,

476
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:10.960
and he explaining to be how it
works, and it just sounds insane,

477
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:15.960
But basically, you enter these collectives
with other people who are also mining bitcoins,

478
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:22.480
and your computers have to answer some
sort of question and if they answer

479
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.599
the question correctly, then they get
a certain percentage of the profit of bitcoin.

480
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:30.559
I mean, it's I'm not explaining
it exactly, but it's something along

481
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:35.159
those lines, and it just seems
to make no sense. But that's how

482
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:40.920
money for bitcoin that is being mined
is apparently somehow apportioned among the people that

483
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:45.840
are actually mining it. And the
cost of the cost of the computers to

484
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.800
mine it goes up and down with
the cost of bitcoin. So part of

485
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.719
the secret, he said, is
to wait until the price of bitcoin goes

486
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:59.679
low to stock up on the computers
that mine it, because the computers become

487
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:04.360
more valuable as the prices of bitcoin
rises, because you can make more money

488
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.800
mining it during those times. I
mean, it's just I mean, he

489
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:10.760
knows what he's doing. He's a
tech entrepreneur, and yeah, or you

490
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:15.800
have to you have to know a
computer person smart enough to solve the problem.

491
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:19.880
The equation that you have to do
to get to that point. But

492
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:22.960
the biggest thing, you know,
you can you can go get a trailer

493
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:30.320
and like a a railcar type trailer
and you just need to air condition and

494
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.280
you stock it with servers and if
you if you know how to do it.

495
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:37.719
The biggest thing with mining for bitcoin, yeah you do get a percentage

496
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:40.880
of what you mind, I forgot
what it was. But but the power,

497
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:46.920
the electricity you have to you go
through to mine bitcoin is enormous and

498
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:52.000
that's been the challenge that he's had
that in cooling the prison, right,

499
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:55.760
because you've got to keep the servers
cool. For a second there, I

500
00:37:55.840 --> 00:38:00.559
forgot that he actually put all the
servers in the computer in a prison.

501
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.119
It just I just thought normal prison
there in West Texas for it for a

502
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.599
very brief moment. Also, what
about the good old you know, you

503
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:09.199
know when a trailer was just you
know, it was like breaking bad.

504
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:12.239
You use an RV, you drive
out the middle of the desert, you

505
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:15.000
cook some method, then you go
back home. Now it's just like,

506
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:21.719
what's the trailer for I'm I'm mining
some bitcoin? I asked, are you

507
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:24.239
sure you're not making this up?
This just sounds made up? But no,

508
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:28.760
I mean well, I mean,
you know it is because bitcoin's made

509
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:32.599
up right, right, But the
idea that there's you know, big money

510
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.239
to be made doing this process that
he describes just sounded outlandish to me.

511
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:44.800
But apparently it's a thing. Yeah, they're nowhere near smart enough to try

512
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.719
to figure that stuff out, and
I at least I'm aware of that.

513
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:52.440
What is it tray? Oh,
there's so many of the cryptocurrencies out there

514
00:38:52.480 --> 00:39:01.400
now, and like whichever one is
actually gains enough momentum that is will be

515
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:07.599
traded between people. A lot of
people think it's gonna the gaming community is

516
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:14.159
what's going to really dictate the next
big thing in cryptocurrency, because what if

517
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:19.960
they ever latch onto something that can
be traded amongst them, or who wins

518
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:24.119
a game? Who you know,
basically betting gambling, but it's you really

519
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:28.800
can't regulate it. That's going to
be the next crypto that goes through the

520
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:31.760
roof. Well that's interesting because I've
got thirty two hundred Call of Duty points

521
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:37.719
just sitting just sitting there in my
PlayStation account ready to be invested. But

522
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.400
trust me, I am nowhere good
enough to be able to actually bet it

523
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:44.840
and win. I'm that's that's not
that's not gonna be smart on my part.

524
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:46.800
But if I could, like if
there was going to be like you're

525
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:51.400
saying, betting, because you can
bet on sports, you can bet on

526
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:53.760
boxing and football and all these things, I'd be okay with doing a little

527
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:58.280
esports betting. I can take some
of those some of those you know internet

528
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.639
coins that I've got saved up my
seat heat coins, and then I can

529
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:06.079
uh put those on, you know, someone who I think is gonna win

530
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:08.320
the next Call of Duty or maddened
tournament, and then boom, I'm I'm

531
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:17.760
making money. Try to be a
better way, probably the overall better way

532
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:23.400
is to go back in time and
uh slap yourself. Well, this is

533
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:27.039
what probably what I would do.
I go back in time, slap myself

534
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:31.639
and say go to law school.
So then that way I can live the

535
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:38.880
life that that Everett lead leads to
be a better way. Well, look,

536
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:43.519
since you did that, it seems
like not fun or not exciting,

537
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:45.039
But to a bunch of other people, it's like, ah, that's that's

538
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:50.559
was clearly a successful path to take. No, no, no, I

539
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:53.800
mean it's I'm not I'm not complaining
about it, but you know there,

540
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:57.159
I think, no matter what you
do, you always think, well,

541
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.239
what if I've done something else?
So you know I have those thoughts too.

542
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:04.400
Sure, Yeah, because I know
that you're a you know, deep

543
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.719
down you're you want to be a
you know, a rock star, you

544
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:10.679
know, a metal god. But
at least you get good stories out of

545
00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:15.239
the lawyer thing, like having a
guy who's on the verge of getting his

546
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:19.679
third duy, which will be a
felony, and he hits the realization that

547
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.840
he's gonna have to stop driving.
Yeah, you know, that sort of

548
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:30.519
wisdom is not imparted in everyday life, ordinarily to most people. Yeah,

549
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:32.280
I'm not sure if you get that
same story if you're if you're the lead

550
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:37.760
guitarist of Nun Puncher, that's true, that's true, although you know,

551
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:42.679
you know, I guess it depends
on well they're not you hang out with

552
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:46.639
this guy. Yeah, maybe maybe
if this guy's your roadie, yes,

553
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:52.199
yeah, because he's certainly not driving. No, no, no, Insance

554
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:54.559
would never go for that. On
the flip side, one of the most

555
00:41:54.559 --> 00:42:00.280
successful people we've known was, you
know, barely a high school graduate from

556
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:09.480
Pleasant Grove And look at him.
Now you're listening to the treehouse visitors online

557
00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:19.239
that Treehouse on air dot com.
Thanks for the setup, Dre. That's

558
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:25.599
stung. Time now to welcome into
the treehouse. Daniel Cook from Cook DFW

559
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:30.159
Roofing and Restoration the phone number eight
three three Cook DFW, the website Cook

560
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:34.760
dfw dot com. You know,
one of the most important services you offer,

561
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:37.719
Daniel is a free roof inspection.
It's amazing, one of the most

562
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:43.159
important services you offer you actually give
away for free. But that's because with

563
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:45.559
all the storms coming and going.
As a homeowner, you don't really know

564
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:49.239
what shape your roof is in.
No, Dan, You're right, and

565
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.039
we get on some roofs and people
are shocked to find out the pictures that

566
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:55.039
we bring back down and show them. You know, did you know you

567
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:59.280
have this or did you see that
the part of your chimney was coming off,

568
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:01.559
or did you know that you had
a boot that had you know,

569
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:05.840
blown off of one of your pipe
Jackson. So all of these things are

570
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:08.559
critical to the integrity of the roof, and people do not take the chances,

571
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:13.480
you know, to go up on
their own roof hopefully, and we

572
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:15.119
need and we don't want you to. So that's why you need us to

573
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:17.400
come out. We're gonna walk that
roof. We're gonna get up there,

574
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:21.800
we're gonna give you some pictures.
We're gonna give you a report and show

575
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:24.079
you exactly what you need to have
done on your roof to protect your home

576
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:27.880
because you do not want to have
a leak in the middle of the night

577
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:31.079
or the next rainstorm that comes through. And figure out why I wish I

578
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:35.440
had checked that roof before something like
this had happened, because I'm telling you,

579
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:37.679
these water damages are big. Use

583
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:58.280
Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing, the website
Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com, the phone

584
00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:01.000
number two one four three six eighty
eight thirty eight. You've mentioned this before,

585
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:05.199
but I think it's important that we
bring it up again. Getting your

586
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:08.920
plumbing inspected when you're trying to buy
a house, because while a home inspection

587
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:13.880
is great and necessary, they're not
plumbers, and I think it's a great

588
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:17.760
thing that you offered those plumbing inspections
for people. Okay, so your general

589
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:22.239
home inspector is going to look at
most things above your slab level, so

590
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:24.800
they'll know if you've got a kitchen
sink that's leaking in the cabinet, they'll

591
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:29.920
know if you've got a slow drain, and absolutely email me that inspection report

592
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.000
and I'll ballpark everything it's going to
take to get those little things fixed.

593
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:37.199
Which you should know that in advance
anyways, But those inspectors do not have

594
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:39.000
X ray vision. They can't tell
you what's happening below the slab, and

595
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:42.280
so if you've got a leak of
some sort, the best thing you can

596
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:45.840
do is know in advance so you
can try to negotiate down the sale price

597
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.559
of that house. I went and
actually protested my property taxes yesterday, and

598
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.199
I cited that fact because I've owned
my house for less than a year.

599
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:54.360
Hey, look there was a sewer
leak. I argued my property taxes down

600
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:59.679
by so much yesterday because I was
an informed buyer. The more you know,

601
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:01.440
the farther you'll go. So you
want to be in the noth and

00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:07.079
longer unemployed. He's showing off now
he's got a new job. You want

00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.920

00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:19.920
Dallas. Uh do you think they'd
ever h so in in in celebration of

616
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:23.559
you getting a new job. There's
some I found a fun story that has

617
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:28.280
some jobs that people think are sexy. So I'm gonna I'm gonna share that.

618
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:30.159
We're you here in just a second
to see if your new job is

619
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:36.320
on there. Um, But speaking
of bars, do you think Standard and

620
00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:42.239
Poor would ever entertain the idea of
of having this treehouse traveled to their respectable

621
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:45.760
establishment and doing a doing a live
road show. Yes, I believe they

622
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:50.159
would. Good to know us.
I've already, I've already, I've already

623
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:52.480
mentioned it to the owner. Oh, I had a boy, look at

624
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:55.760
you work in it? Yes,
So, speaking of that, Everett,

625
00:46:55.760 --> 00:47:00.000
I'm not sure if you've noticed on
social media, but we did book ourselves

626
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:05.159
another Treehouse podcast live road show.
This next one is going to be Friday,

627
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:08.320
July seventh, from five to seven
pm at Daddy Rabbits Pub in Louisville.

628
00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:14.880
It's one twenty one and round Growth
in Louisville. Um, if if

629
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:19.079
you're not you know, doing anything
or you know, setting criminals free on

630
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:21.960
the streets, would you want to
come and hang out like we did to

631
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.119
the last one in Bedford. Yeah, let me check my calendar. Real

632
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:28.119
quick. I got my phone.
I'll tell you, okay, good up

633
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:29.760
for a second there. I thought
you were going to say, yeah,

634
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:32.480
let me check my calendar and I'll
get back to you never no, no,

635
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:35.559

636
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:39.360
awesome than yes or July the seventh. July the seventh, from five to

637
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:45.760
seven pm, it is a Treehouse
Podcast live road show. We'll record the

638
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:51.119
show right then and there at the
Daddy Rabbits Pub in Louisville. So if

639
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:54.559
you come, you get to enjoy
the show in person. And that means

640
00:47:54.559 --> 00:48:00.840
you get to hear and see the
show before it drops on Monday. So

641
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:01.760
if you come to the show,
it's sort of like a sneak peek.

642
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:07.199
You get to see it before anybody
else does. And we're also going to

643
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.440
have some giveaways. We're gonna have
a handful of giveaways and some prizes,

644
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:16.159
and of course drinks and which is
you know, no value to Everett or

645
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:22.440
Trey, but I'll have some.
You can have ours, that's right.

646
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:25.960
I feel like I did at the
last one. All of a sudden,

647
00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:29.360
I looked down and I've got like
six shots in front of me. And

648
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:32.159
it's mainly because Trey and Everett don't
drink, so they just you guys just

649
00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:37.320
kept passing him down to the middle
to me. Well it should, you

650
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:40.159
know, somebody should make you so. Absolutely, I've got this. Uh,

651
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:51.719
I've got this Blacksmithing hacks webinarum the
afternoon of the set up. Let

652
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.880
me see if I can move that, and if I can, I'll be

653
00:48:54.880 --> 00:49:05.440
there. You have a blacksmithing blacksmithing
hacks you know, I mean there's some

654
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:10.400
things you can do apparently when blacksmithing
that really help make the process much more

655
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:17.480
efficient and profitable. How long have
you been um studying blacksmithing? Cool for

656
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.840
the past six years? Oh so
six years? But you still need some

657
00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:27.039
hacks. Well you can always learn
more. You've gotta stay on top of

658
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:30.119
your craft or you're you're gonna fall
behind. All right, Well, if

659
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:36.480
if you can, if you can
squeeze us in after your Blacksmithing hacks seminar,

660
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:39.440
we'd we'd really appreciate it, and
I know the listeners would would once

661
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:45.920
again love to see you and I
watch it while I'm there. Sure,

662
00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:51.679
yeah, absolutely, maybe we can
all learn something while did you did you

663
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:57.599
use your blacksmithing talents to build your
owl house. I'm not. I don't

664
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:00.639
want to talk about that. Oh
is there like a blacksmith in code?

665
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:05.400
Owls or extincts? Let me just
say that I'm not even sure they still

666
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:10.239
exist. Well, they certainly don't
seem to exist in your backyard. That

667
00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:16.800
answers my follow up. Maybe we'll
have an answer to that. Trey July

668
00:50:16.920 --> 00:50:21.880
seventh, that Daddy Rabbits Pub in
Louisville five to seven pm. I mean,

669
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:23.920
did you did? Did you make
the owl house out of wood?

670
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:28.320
Maybe that's your problem. Maybe maybe
need to craft it out of iron?

671
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:31.679
Now I had he was. He
got spive to the owl guy, which

672
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:35.519
could be a misnumber. At this
point, I'm thinking they will. Do

673
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:43.400
you think you've got a little deceptive
trade practices claim against this guy? There's

674
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.360
something amiss, But no, he
built it and I mean it. Oh.

675
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:49.840
If I were an owl, I'd
be proud to live there, But

676
00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:57.760
I'm not an owl sou But serious
question. Have you guys seen any owls

677
00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:06.920
lately in person? Not just on
TV or on the in or not?

678
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:08.599
I mean an actual owl? You
know you're right. I think the only

679
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:13.039
place I've seen any owls has has
been on Twitter, and as I mean,

680
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:15.639
I think we know that not everything
online is real and deep fakes,

681
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:19.440
deep fakes are a real thing.
So maybe the owls I've seen on Twitter

682
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:25.559
or deep fakes. Oh but a
I anything's possible visually, So yeah,

683
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:30.480
I'm pretty sure they're extant. You
think there's a big cover up conspiracy about

684
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:36.760
owls? Absolutely? What what other
possible explanation could there be? You haven't

685
00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:40.400
seen any owls, have you,
Trevor? Not not in Dallas where I

686
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:44.239
mean, I've go out in the
country. I see him. But but

687
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:47.840
when was that the last time you
saw an Now it's it's been a minute.

688
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:52.280
I could not tell you exactly how
long it's been, but it's definitely

689
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:55.039
been a while. But I mean, maybe maybe they just don't like your

690
00:51:55.039 --> 00:52:04.000
house. No, they're extant.
Well, perhaps then if you ever decide

691
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.239
to retire from lawyering, Everett,
maybe you could maybe you could start up

692
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:15.719
an owl hunting business. Now it
interview with my blacksmithing. All right,

693
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:17.239
fine, fine, fine, all
right? So speaking of jobs, so

694
00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:22.519
Trey, do you think your job
at standard is at standard poor or standard

695
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:28.280
and port just standard poor? At
standard poor, which is something that you

696
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:34.280
never had during your drinking days.
Oh, I had a standard. It

697
00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:38.840
was a full glass. Your standard
was everyone else's all of it. Yeah,

698
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:44.039
your in your days, your standard
was everyone else's call for help.

699
00:52:44.599 --> 00:52:49.840
Yeah. So, anyway, there's
a I think it's an adult toy website.

700
00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:52.679
It's I think it's lovehoney dot com. They they asked a bunch of

701
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:59.719
their customers what some of the sexiest
jobs are for people to have, and

702
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:07.480
and it's it's not it's not bad
as far as what some of these occupations

703
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:10.519
are. And honestly, some of
them are, you know, kind of

704
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:16.679
easy to guess. So the top
sexiest according to women, the top sexiest

705
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:23.119
professions are firefighter, builder, police
officer, doctor, mechanic, paramedic,

706
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:30.400
musician, electrician, farmer, and
lawyer. Yeah, right, there you

707
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:34.639
go. Everett was at the bottom
of the list, though. No,

708
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:37.280
that's the top ten sexiest professions according
to women, So it's number ten.

709
00:53:37.400 --> 00:53:42.760
But yeah, it's it's in the
top ten, which I think you could

710
00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:46.320
then divide that list up into two
categories of women were saying sexy jobs by

711
00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:51.360
amount of money you make, and
then sexy jobs by either danger or just

712
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:57.800
mystique or the uniform. Yeah,
on the flip side, the top sexiest

713
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:02.360
professions according to men, light attendant, nurse, secretary, teacher, actor,

714
00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:07.840
police officer, doctor, maid,
singer, and Trey, here's yours

715
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:13.199
bartender. So according to this,
you're you're you're sexiest among men. Trey,

716
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:19.760
congratulations. Lingerie model didn't make the
list, No, it didn't,

717
00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:22.239
And I'm with you. It's like, is that too obvious of an answer,

718
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:23.719
because you know, I kind of
came up with my own list of

719
00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:30.280
sexiest you know professions, And if
I'm being honest, I think mine seems

720
00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:36.920
I think mine seems better than this
one. And on end, hooker slash

721
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:40.920
stripper. How is that not making
the top ten of sexiest professions. That's

722
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:45.880
that's one of the that's these,
that's these sexy you know profession or even

723
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:52.320
only fans model. That should be
an easy one. But a few of

724
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:55.039
the other jobs I have on here
that I think are really sexy. Uh,

725
00:54:55.239 --> 00:55:04.599
there's the floor scrubber at an adult
theater, and and why do you

726
00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:09.960
think that's sexy? I mean,
having a clean place to to to jerk

727
00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:14.039
off around strangers? Is how is
that not a turn on? Trey?

728
00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:16.840
But you want a dirt you want
a dirty, sticky floor. You know

729
00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:21.719
what, I hadn't thought of it, and that that perspective you're you're absolutely

730
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:30.480
corrects a woman who believes in the
greater good. Um, Let's see what

731
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:34.079
else did I have? Oh?
Podcast host? Podcast host I think is

732
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:37.119
super super super super sexy. Right, I mean, come on, right,

733
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:40.360
Trey. I mean this means you
now get on two lists. You

734
00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:45.239
not only are you a bartender but
also a podcast host. I mean,

735
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:50.559
come on, who some other some
other jobs I think are super sexy.

736
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:55.519
Uh, roofer, plumber. I
think plumbers are very sexy. Roofers are

737
00:55:55.599 --> 00:56:00.079
very sexy getting on there fixing shingles
and things. Hums lay in pipe pillow.

738
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:05.119
Uh. And then probably the sexiest
would be, uh would be mortgage

739
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:10.400
lender. I think mortgage lender is
extremely sexy. Wow, so you think

740
00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:15.199
so? You think all our sponsors
are really sexy? Yes? I do.

741
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:19.920
They are. They are very very
very sexy. They are sexy people

742
00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:24.119
promoting a very sexy podcast. I
mean, we all knew Rodney, but

743
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:30.159
I you know, Rodney of course
is sexy. But glad to know you

744
00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:36.679
think the other two are sexy professions
they are? Mean? I mean,

745
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:42.440
didn't you're the I mean rufer plumber. I mean that's that was on the

746
00:56:42.480 --> 00:56:46.159
list. What the original list,
I mean handy like people who build stuff.

747
00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:50.039
That's people like that, I guess, so I went more specific.

748
00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:52.239
I think it's I think it's you
need to be I think you're just trying

749
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.840
to kiss the sponsors ass. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Yeah,

750
00:56:57.159 --> 00:57:00.599
if I'm being honest, is my
list a little tainted? Yes, yes

751
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:02.239
it is. It's a little tainted
because I'm clearly biased and I'm okay,

752
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:07.679
I'll admit it. That also reminds
me taint scrubber. Taint scrubber is an

753
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:16.519
extremely sexy profession. Yeah, it's
interesting. Yeah, yeah, because you

754
00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:22.760
don't you don't want what was the
term of the the news guy from Houston,

755
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:27.159
the crotch something or whatever, Oh
the gooch grease, gooch grease.

756
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:30.599
Yeah, because I mean that's clearly
that's bad. So a good taint scrubber,

757
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:35.920
that is, that is a sexy
position. Uh huh. It is

758
00:57:36.280 --> 00:57:38.400
like you you want to make millions
in life, you go to Houston and

759
00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:42.679
you start up a good taint scrubbing
business and you can help cure all the

760
00:57:42.719 --> 00:57:46.119
gooch grease in and around the Houston
area. There's a lot of it.

761
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:52.679
I've lived there, and then once
you conquer Houston, go to New Orleans,

762
00:57:54.239 --> 00:58:00.199
you just spread city by city along
the coast. All right, Everett,
