Excruciating summer heat isn't new, but The Electricity Reliability Council of Texas keeps acting surprised asking Texans to conserve energy. We're sick of it. Also...Dan let strangers who live in a van house sit. What could go wrong?

WEBVTT

1
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:35.679
Welcome into the treehouse. Time to
leave those worries outside, well, almost

2
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.000
all the worries. There is one
I do need to bring up here in

3
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:44.920
just a moment. But first I'm
Daniel Malley along with Trey Trendholme and Raj

4
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:50.920
Sharma. So there's one worry that
creeps in. No matter how high you

5
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.960
build a treehouse or how low into
the ground you bury, I don't know

6
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.759
it a groundhouse, or or how
thick the walls you make. Whatever it

7
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:10.599
is, it's still hot. Yeah, and it is so hot in Texas.

8
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:17.640
How hot does a thick garage that
Arcott is now asking everyone to voluntarily

9
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.920
conserve, which is of course not
new, But every time I see the

10
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:29.239
headline it makes me laugh because I
know that everyone just immediately just says fu

11
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.120
to the voluntarily conserve after all the
crap that Texas has been through in recent

12
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.280
years. When it comes to electricity, I think it's even worse. I

13
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:45.879
think people will literally go and turn
their thermostat down a couple degrees when Urcott

14
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.879
does that just to be a dick. Yeah, Spike is very spite is

15
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.239
an extremely powerful motivator. I have
to ask, like, what do you

16
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.560
set your like apartments at what is
the setting, like, what's your what's

17
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:07.360
your act and my home or away
homes? Home day or night average?

18
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.840
Do you have t X shoes free
nights and weekends? But all right,

19
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.360
when I go to bed, when
I sleep, it's usually sixty seven sixty

20
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.400
eight seven. During the day,
I usually put it about seventy two.

21
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.240
If I'm not here, I put
it up to like seventy eight six.

22
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:29.719
That's on your dog's tongue hangs.
Actually, you think with those temperatures,

23
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.280
Daisy's tongue would stay in her mouth. That's cold. So yeah, that's

24
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.800
what we used to do. That's
what we used to do. So when

25
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.680
we lived in Texas, it was
at night, we would drop that ac

26
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:45.560
down quite a bit because we like
it cold. It's one of the reasons

27
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.840
my wife and I work out so
well together is that she likes it cold

28
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.240
at night, and God bless her
for it. But here's the here's my

29
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.560
question. Okay, understand this.
Do you like? Are you like?

30
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.240
Okay, let's let's make it cold, but let's let's get under the down

31
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:07.919
comforter because there's a resolution. Because
there's a resolution to that. It depends

32
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:15.800
Raj Okay. So the comforter that
that that we have is a very lightweight,

33
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:21.520
very breathable down comforter. So it's
mid too. Well, no,

34
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.280
that's that's that's the one in Dallas. Okay. Here we just have like

35
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.360
it's like a blanket. Yeah,
okay, So we're not we're not.

36
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.639
We're not just throwing comforters around and
needing to turn the air down because our

37
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.840
betting is too thick. No,
we're not. No, we we have

38
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.360
appropriate betting. Yeah. But like
Trey, well, we would keep thermostat,

39
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.840
you know, in the mid to
upper seventies if we could while we

40
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:49.599
were there, if we weren't,
maybe turn it up to seventy nine or

41
00:03:50.520 --> 00:04:00.479
maybe eighty okay, which is but
but Urcott the Electric Reliability Council of Texas

42
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.599
one of the most ironically named entities
in the history of ever. If I

43
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:11.120
remember last year, the year before, they released their recommendations on what they

44
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.719
wanted Texans to set their thermostats,
and it was like, during the day

45
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.839
or away, they wanted you to
put it at like eighty two or something,

46
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.360
and when you're home, they said, you know, let's see if

47
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.600
you can do seventy eight and I'm
with Trey. Everyone's like, bitch,

48
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.879
please, all of our thermostats are
in like seventy four, seventy two.

49
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.839
Yeah, I'm a seventy four.
I'm I'm a good I'm a good seventy

50
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.279
four. Like I'll turn it to
seventy two for a minute and then like

51
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.680
I'm desert. People like, I'm
good with heat. I'm okay with it.

52
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.759
Like people like it's hilarious to me, Like it's one hundred and nine.

53
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:47.839
I'm like, and everybody in like
the Middle East is like, it's

54
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:53.319
a very pleasant day night, put
put the jackets on. It's very it's

55
00:04:53.399 --> 00:05:00.720
very cool seven. But that's a
dry heat. Yeah. I'm like I've

56
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.920
been when I when I did the
travel show for Amazon. Uh we had

57
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:09.480
to do we did camel racing in
the desert in India, and uh,

58
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.920
we get there at so we're supposed
to be there at I think ten.

59
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.959
We didn't get there till eleven.
And they're like, I mean that window.

60
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.560
I'm like, oh, like the
heat and you could see the camels

61
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.600
and we should I should have known
something. Hindsights twenty twenty camels were in

62
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.360
the shade, and I'm like,
that's weird. This is kind of their

63
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.120
hood. Uh. And then we
had a huge tent with the air conditioning

64
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:38.160
units pumping in and uh we went
to the go do the camel racing and

65
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.800
the my my my camel when when
when they when the race started, it

66
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.800
took two steps and was like f
this uh and just sat down and the

67
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.319
handle that's actually that's actually a great
barometer. Yeah that I wish more.

68
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.839
I wish that. I wish that
the meteorologists would would use those uh in

69
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.040
their in their weather forecast because it's
it's camel. Pay a lot more intention

70
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:08.079
if say, Pete Delkis had a
shot at the zoo of the African animals

71
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.600
in the shade, Like, that's
a new that's a new gauge that they

72
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.800
can use for the rest of us
to visually understand how hot it is the

73
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.560
lions are in the shade. Maybe
you should do the same. Yeah,

74
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:26.079
if it's camel sitting hot, Uh, it's it's so about noon is when

75
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.480
like and I asked the handler,
I was he was trying to prod him

76
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.399
to get him up, and I
was like, what's the problem. It's

77
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.040
like, is he hurt? Is
he not not used to this? And

78
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:39.879
he goes, it's too hot.
Better. I'm like, why why are

79
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.959
we here if it's too hot for
the camel? What are we doing here?

80
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.120
Uh? And then we wrapped it
up around I think twelve thirty or

81
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.319
one, because it was one hundred
and I think it was one hundred and

82
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.839
seventeen in the shade and I think
it was one twenty three or whatever it

83
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.079
was. And they told us we
had to leave because flesh starts cooking at

84
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.360
one hundred and twenty seven. So
we were we were back like we got

85
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.360
We woke up at six, got
to the desert, back in the hotel

86
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.519
by three. I was like,
well, that was a good day of

87
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:17.279
shooting. That was so on Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, August seventeenth was

88
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.639
the hottest day of the year up
up until that day, and that could

89
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:26.680
not broke the record for the year. But then Friday, things are supposed

90
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.519
to be hotter at temperatures was expected
to reach one ten, possibly one eleven.

91
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:36.800
Again that's the temperature, yeah,
not the heated decks. The record

92
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:43.160
for August eighteenth is one hundred and
twelve degrees. That was set in nineteen

93
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.439
o nine. Okay, and now
that's what I'm saying nineteen o nine,

94
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.480
it was one hundred and what one
hundred and twelve, they didn't have a

95
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:57.639
c No. Yeah, let's let's
let's try to live like them. No.

96
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.519
Oh, dear Godna, I like
the progress we've made with air conditioning

97
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.079
technology. I don't want to ever
go back like I've I've heard of families

98
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.600
that will do this in the summer
of all times, where they'd go to

99
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.319
camps that are that are that are
designed to show families what it was like

100
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.639
to live in colonial era. Like. No, I want none of I

101
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.959
don't want. I don't even I'm
pretty sure most of the country doesn't even

102
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.959
want to revert back to the sixties, let alone the seventeen sixties pioneer camps.

103
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.679
And Arcot's new slogan is live like
it's nineteen o nine. That's what

104
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.080
it should be. Conserve like it's
nineteen o nine. Yeah. The Texans

105
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.480
may be asked to conserve power on
Friday because extreme heat is testing once again

106
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.279
the state's power grid. This summer
will be remembered for some pretty extreme temperatures,

107
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.759
and that has repeatedly sent the demand
for electricity higher than it's ever been.

108
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.360
Many are naturally wondering if the state's
power grid will be able to hold

109
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:05.440
up to Erkot and the PUC the
Public Utility Council kind of do a collective

110
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.759
emo Elmo gift of them. Yeah. I actually no, they're not,

111
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:16.399
because they've already announced that, Uh, our gyle is going to be a

112
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.159
rolly have a rolling blackout tonight.
What's our guyle up to that they're getting

113
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:26.440
that fight? You don't know what
our gyle did get into race a horse

114
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.279
farts taking their toll. I my
parents would do this thing you're talking about

115
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.840
the Pioneer camps. My parents did
this thing where we would go to I

116
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.399
don't know, uh, like some
like like, where would you guys go

117
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:45.480
for your summer vacation? Did you
have besides like your hometowns on vacation vacation?

118
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.120
Where would you go pleasant climates or
water parks or something like that.

119
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.159
Typically for us, it was typically
it was a family member's house that we

120
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.080
were required to go visit. So
it would be a road trip to you

121
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.879
know, East Texas to visit my
he's just great grandmother, or it might

122
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.600
be my more fun and pleasant grandmother
in Tulsa or actual Tulsa Tree, not

123
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:13.200
Saint Tulsa. It might also be
a visit to Worlds of Fun in Kansas

124
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.440
City or six Flags. We would
do that, and then twice when I

125
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.159
was a child, we did Disney. Wow. See my parents would do

126
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.039
this thing. Also did Granton a
couple of times. So my parents would

127
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:30.240
do this thing where we would go
to this magical place called New Delhi in

128
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:35.519
the summer and they have you know, India at one point four billion people.

129
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.879
Uh, they've been doing rolling blackouts
forever. So you'd go to sleep

130
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:46.519
just fine, and you would wake
up literally drenched in your own sweat.

131
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.159
Uh. And this was supposed to
be our So when the first time I

132
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.080
remember that? So tell me what
you did on your summer vacation, uh

133
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.120
paper that you're supposed to write when
you got back to school. I'm like,

134
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.879
not die, that's what That's what
I did, Drey. What were

135
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:09.240
your summer vacations? You know?
I I I had very few. We

136
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.600
went to uh Winter Park twice as
a kid. That really was about the

137
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.679
it. My dad was not a
big traveler and neither was my mom.

138
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.519
And so okay, so you kind
of stayed local. Yeah, stayed and

139
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.200
Dan, I have to say something
when when you identified your grandmother, your

140
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.679
great grandmother is extremely racist. I
think that goes without saying at this point,

141
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.240
I think we all know that that
grand that that that my great grandmother

142
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:45.679
Sira was racist. That yeah,
that generally that people from that era were

143
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.600
just had a different view on life. That's the part of nineteen o nine.

144
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.919
We don't want to live like right, yeah, but I don't see

145
00:11:54.200 --> 00:12:00.440
in your right. Like I had
an X and they lived in Arlington,

146
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:07.399
and it was sixty four in their
house. Always didn't matter. It didn't

147
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.440
matter if if everybody was out of
the house, nobody, nobody turned it

148
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:16.600
down. It was like I froze
to death many a time, to the

149
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:22.120
point where for Christmas they bought me
another comforter for the Bensam summer mittens.

150
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.039
Yeah. Like it was a little
little things you can crack and put in

151
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.159
your pocket to keep you warm.
Yeah, yeah so they Yeah, so

152
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.799
I understand. But I mean,
for these the types of people that urcott,

153
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:43.759
the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas is
targeting when they say it's so hot,

154
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.799
we need you to conserve. Whereas
yeah, Trey, I think you're

155
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.720
correct as well. I think the
majority of Texans, and I think people

156
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.360
in general, when they're told to
do something, we all want to go

157
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.919
m F you. But especially when
it's a hundred and twelve degrees temperature with

158
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.559
a heat index of one hundred and
India, we don't. We don't want

159
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.600
to be told where to set our
thermostats. So much so when Urcott then

160
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.919
comes out and says, hey,
would you mind voluntarily conserving my responses would

161
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:28.519
you voluntarily suck a bag at Well, it depends on the bag. Honestly,

162
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.039
I Ercott, when you ask me
to conserve energy, I want you

163
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.399
to suck so many bags that you
look like Joey Chestnut on the fourth of

164
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:45.360
July, so seventy six. Hey, you know how you know how many

165
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:54.000
fit into a bag? You're listening
to the Treehouse, that treehouse on air

166
00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:07.519
dot com. Let's get Rodney Anderson
into the treehouse now. His phone number

167
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.879
nine seven two nine eight five fifty
two hundred, the website Rodney Anderson dot

168
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.200
com. You know, Rodney,
over the years, you have helped so

169
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.720
many of our listeners get into homes, and those homes are typically the single

170
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.200
family residences. But that's not all
you do. You also expand out into

171
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.080
unique properties. What are those?
Yeah, unique properties could be Barneminiums.

172
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.600
We're seeing a lot of our buyers
buy barneminiums or do cash out refinances on

173
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.480
Barneminiums, which we do offer where
many lenders don't. We also finance when

174
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.159
people are buying double wide mobile homes
on land. So we just had a

175
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.159
client recently buy a double wide mobile
home on five acres of land and they

176
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.840
bought it for three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. They're like, this is

177
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.440
way cheaper than single family residents live
in. We've just had people buy a

178
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.600
Barneminium. They bought one for seven
hundred thousand dollars. So we think about

179
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.639
Barneminiums being maybe just smaller structures.
Many of these are larger structures and people

180
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.799
just want a different change in live
dan. But not only do we do

181
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.919
loans in the DFW Metroplex, we
do them all throughout the state of Texas,

182
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.080
and we're also licensed in most states
around the country. We just had

183
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.840
a client that just got called back
into the office. Well, the office

184
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.320
meant you had to move back to
Phoenix, Arizona, So they moved from

185
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.720
the DFW area, and we just
close their loan in Phoenix, Arizona.

186
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:30.080
So we're licensed in Arizona, We're
licensed in Arkansas, We're licensed in Oklahoma,

187
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.879
many other states, Colorado, Florida, many other states that a lot

188
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.480
of people are moving to. So
we just tell people we want to be

189
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.879
your lender for life, and pick
up the phone and give us a call.

190
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.879

Eight three three Cook DFW. So rage,

205
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.600
I believe I showed Trey this a
couple of weeks ago, but I

206
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:04.480
don't think I've showed you yet.
While we were gone in Texas, our

207
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:10.960
house here in St. Thomas had
a couple stay to how sit how Sit

208
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:17.960
slash pet sit. The main goal
was to take care of our animals right,

209
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.359
yes, you got the two dogs, the two cats, eight chickens

210
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:30.599
now and the main goal was for
us to return to here from Texas with

211
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:36.319
all twelve still alive. Now.
Granted, Joel is like sixteen now,

212
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.000
he's setting five pounds. He's like
a sixteen year old dog, which makes

213
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.559
him like a kung fu master in
a movie old human years. And it's

214
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:51.039
weird because I he'll stroke his like
four foot long beard. But whatever the

215
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.279
point is, he's an old dog. And I was legitimate. I was

216
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.519
legitimately worried about whether or not he
would still be here when we got back.

217
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:03.400
Luckily he is. So we're very
very happy. We feel very very

218
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.519
blessed. However, now we've been
back for a number of days, we

219
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:14.440
keep discovering things that the house sitters
did or in some cases did not do.

220
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.599
So I'm going to give you the
teaser to set the tone. Okay.

221
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.240
One of the first things we found
when we came home, as we

222
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:27.920
walked into this room, this office
that you see me and and on an

223
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:37.400
end table where a lamp sits,
Tara found this. It is a It

224
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:44.039
is a It is a cardboard toilet
paper roll with no toilet paper and a

225
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:51.039
quarter sticking out of it, looking
like a saw blade flew off of a

226
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:59.799
saw into it, except it's a
quarter. Gotcha, why why? Why

227
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.839
why is this quarter sticking out the
side of a toilet paper roll? I

228
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.400
think I think it's on an end
table for us to flo You're missing the

229
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:15.960
abstract art, Dan, The metaphor
is it's on the end table because it's

230
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:21.240
it could be a metaphor for our
for our for our money, for our

231
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.799
for our content. It's a statement
on consumerism and how you should take your

232
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.920
American money and much of it up
your ass flush it down the toilet.

233
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.319
Ah, that makes more sense.
Uh see, you're missing the point.

234
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.200
Or it could be money ain't I
don't know what it means. Uh money,

235
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.720
money ain't a thing. I don't
know what is? Have you have

236
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.200
you looked it up? It could
be a yeah. Also they could have

237
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.200
been working on like a makeshift bongb
I don't. I don't know. I

238
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.319
had my my buddies in college.
Uh made bonds out of many a thing.

239
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.319
I've never seen that. Or it
could be a guy who's like,

240
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:00.640
I want to start doing magic.
I've seen them used to let paper and

241
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.839
a quote paper towel rolls for bongs. Yeah, but what was the quarter

242
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.200
to do? It wouldn't be the
thing to take out open it up and

243
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.960
then he puts upthing there like to
put the weed on. And then this

244
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:17.000
is why I needed to ask you
guys what this thing was, because I

245
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:21.920
had faith that you might be able
to come up with something possible. And

246
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:26.440
I feel like you have because this
is not the only random thing we have

247
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.559
found in our house since the people
left. And keep in mind we never

248
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.079
actually met these people. They we
knew them from like friends of friends,

249
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:40.160
right, okay, and live in
your house semi quasi strangers. We talked

250
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:44.440
on them beforehand. They were friends
of friends, and and we trust those

251
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.400
friends. Those friends trust them,
so therefore we just carried it over the

252
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.119
trust. Then obviously we get home
and weird things start appearing like this,

253
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.039
and Trey, I think you may
be onto something because this may have been

254
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:03.559
the start of a white trash uh
bong. Because one of the things I

255
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.599
found on the floor in the kitchen
was a broken glass pipe. Oh yeah,

256
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.240
there you go, and it looked
like it had had some various forms

257
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.599
of smoke passed through it. So
I took a whiff of and I was

258
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.720
like, yeah, that's weed.
Oh interesting, Okay, So what I

259
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.759
think then may have happened, if
Trey is correct here is they broke whatever

260
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:27.000
glass piper bong that they brought and
then had to resort to at least the

261
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:32.279
failed attempt at the toilet paper quarter
roll bong. Do you guys not have

262
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.279
pringles in your house? Do you
guys not carry the famous pringles we we

263
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.559
I think the whole is probably too
big, because I mean, you have

264
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.240
to have put it up to your
mouth. No, no, you can

265
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:49.279
put the piet youth. I've I
watched it happen. That's why I've I

266
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.960
said a long time ago. If
corporations want to solve problems higher stoners,

267
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.759
oh, I couldn't agree with you, bore you. You give them a

268
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.839
set of problems and you know I
mean they're yes, yeah, you know,

269
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:07.599
yes, yeah, two balls,
a string and a paper clip and

270
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.079
you know, a rubber band next
thing. You know, they're high as

271
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:15.960
a kite because all I mean,
because like nature, stoners find a way.

272
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:21.240
Yes, yeah, I want,
I want to look at it.

273
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.200
Can we look up? Can we
look it up? Paper roll with quarter?

274
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:29.039
Yeah? So while while one of
you looks that up, let me

275
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.000
let me give you an idea of
some of the other things that we've discovered

276
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:40.000
since the house sitters left. Okay, For example, we have the toilet

277
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.960
paper roll with the quarter. Okay, we've also hey, I had to

278
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:48.599
make a couple of notes here,
there's a missing wine glass. Have no

279
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.559
idea where that is. And it's
easy to know that some of these things

280
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:55.160
were missing because we don't have very
many of them. Like we're not wine

281
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.920
drinkers. We only had two wine
glasses, so it's very obvious ones missing,

282
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:02.359
so they didn't replace that. There's
also a missing cereal bowl. I

283
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.880
keep track of all cereal bowls in
this house, and it ain't there.

284
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.720
Also, we had we had told
them, if you use anything, go

285
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:17.160
for it. But just if you
use up something, just replace it.

286
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:21.440
That's all we asked, right,
Yes, roommate etiquette. Roommate etiquette.

287
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:26.640
Yeah, so what they went through
and did not replace includes aluminum foil.

288
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.920
Two rods by the way, Yeah, they're making So they went through all

289
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:36.599
the aluminum foil, left the box
with the tube in the box in the

290
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.920
drawer without even throwing it away.
Same thing with the parchment paper box.

291
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.640
Same thing with our tide pods.
They used all of our tide pods and

292
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:51.160
then instead of replacing it with new
tide pods, they replaced it with the

293
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:56.440
cheap box powder stuff you find in
an upside down logoed laundromat. Other things

294
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.279
that they had done, they moved
furniture for some reason. No idea why

295
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.559
there's a box fan that that we
keep in the office kind of tucked away.

296
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.680
It's in the middle of the room. No idea why it's in the

297
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:08.079
middle of the room. They didn't
even bother to put it back. They

298
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.559
used up almost all my hot sauces. That's almost a you know, a

299
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:18.680
felony offense in this house without replacing
them. They watched numerous plants die because

300
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.240
we have plants inside so you can
watch them go from green to brown.

301
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:29.440
So they watched plants die. They
also rearranged drawers, which has Tara wanting

302
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.559
to hunt them down in the States
because Tara is organized and she put all

303
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:36.480
those drawers exactly how they're supposed to
be. And then it's almost like they

304
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:38.279
knew Tara did that, so they
wanted to go into the tupperware drawer and

305
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:42.119
rearrange all of it just to piss
her off. Also, there's these weird

306
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:49.240
dust rings on the glass top patio
table outside and I think if you found

307
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:59.519
the right hookah, I think their
dust rings would match. It sounds that

308
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.599
way because the foil, the foil
and the glass pipe. I've watched enough

309
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:07.359
intervention. Uh. They also for
some reason, uh, like they removed

310
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.680
a power strip and I no idea
where it is to this day. And

311
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.319
they also the candles that we have
around the house. You know how like

312
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.279
most people will buy candles from you
know, uh, Bath and bodyworks,

313
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.960
and then never actually burn them,
or only burn them a little bit just

314
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.039
to make it look like they've been
used to get a nice scent in the

315
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:29.359
room. But those candles last for
years, not ours. Ours lasted about

316
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.680
five weeks for these people to live
here, and they burned down all of

317
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:34.960
our goddamn candles. Maybe they're just
sexy people. I don't know what to

318
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.880
tell you. Maybe there's like,
maybe put the put the foil hat on,

319
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.319
burn some candles, let's smoke some
wheat, and then you know what,

320
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:47.799
Maybe we're sounds like you just had
stoners that got high and decided they

321
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:52.039
were gonna, you know, rearrange
furniture and do various things, do a

322
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.880
lot of laundry. Yeah, they
did use a lot of tide pods.

323
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.640
And now what I'm worried about is
that they got so high off of their

324
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.720
toilet paper roll bongs that they didn't
actually use the type pods in the washing

325
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.559
machine. I'm afraid they just straight
up eate them. Yeah they did.

326
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.559
Maybe they were in the type on
challenge and were victorious, I guess because

327
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:18.640
they made it off Island May at
other Yeah, a little tipporary breaking bad

328
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.319
in your house and had a little
meth din in your house. You know,

329
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.000
guys, honestly, all things are
on the table here because there's no

330
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:32.440
way to you know, confirm or
deny any of these things. I've seen

331
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.279
the foil thing where on in Like
I said, I've watched enough intervention.

332
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:38.880
I've seen the foil thing in the
glass pipe where they put their it's the

333
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:42.599
way to smoke heroin. I've also
seen someone, a girl I went to

334
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:45.440
high school with. We lived in
the same apartment complex, and she would

335
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:53.319
occasionally ride with me to school.
She turned aluminum foil, yeah, into

336
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.319
a pipe to smoke on the way
to school. Yes, and she took

337
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:00.960
the she she fashioned the aluminum foil
into a pipe, and then she took

338
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:07.200
the little screen underneath the fawcet in
the sink and use that in the pipe.

339
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.160
Yes, and I have seen that
as well. Uh, spring break

340
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.359
necessity is the mother of an invention
on spring break. But yeah, I

341
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.440
have you talked to your other friends
about this about what happened? Not yet,

342
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:25.640
But but it seems like we've discovered
so many things now it almost seems

343
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:30.319
like we have to say something.
Yeah, or maybe they're just those people

344
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.799
that are like, let's just move
stuff around and see if they notice,

345
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:41.480
Oh we noticed thing is like that
that was done on purpose. It certainly

346
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:48.680
feels like it feels very aggressively passive
aggressive. Yeah, this is someone's tupperware

347
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:53.240
drawer and completely rearrange it. Yes, And this is why I go back

348
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:59.480
to my philosophy of why are you
letting people you don't know? Okay,

349
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.119
this is on you now, this
is not their fault. You let them

350
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.319
live in your home. Uh huh, you don't know them, No,

351
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:12.000
you you they they they they that's
their house. Now you're lucky, they're

352
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.240
they're like, you're lucky they didn't
start squabbing. And now you're just you're

353
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.359
back in Dallas and they have your
pets in your house. You know what

354
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:25.599
rids Honestly, with everything they've done
in this house and the way they left

355
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.119
this house, I wish they were
still squatting there when I got home,

356
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:40.279
because keep in mind I had just
gotten off a plane from Texas. I'm

357
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:47.759
about to conserve their ass. Wow, I just I would never I had

358
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:52.920
one time, one time, one
time in La the ex wife and I

359
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.480
were going to India and we're gonna
be gone for a couple of weeks because

360
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.680
I rerouted us through Hong Kong,
through sorry, through Incock, so she

361
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.440
could see her dad because they haven't
seen each other in years and that's where

362
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.880
he lives. And uh, it
was it was one of her fellow Australians,

363
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.680
didn't know her, just found her
on Australians in La. I'm like,

364
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.920
all right, sure, it's like, oh, this is the Aussie.

365
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:19.839
It'll be fine. And I have
a watchbox and we all know about

366
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:26.319
my fondness for watches. I have
a watch box and I watches. You

367
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:33.039
have no idea and I have about
fifteen fifteen or sixteen now, uh.

368
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:38.440
And I left my Blue Face Movado
in the watchbox. I took the other

369
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:41.799
four whatever that I was gonna wear
while I was gone. And I came

370
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:48.480
back and I went our fault,
not theirs, our fault. And she's

371
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:53.200
like, what happened? I was
like, they stole my watch? This

372
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:57.039
is why. Sure it wasn't just
like a like a rogue koala that she

373
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:02.920
had the that's what I would call
the girl that lived in that house.

374
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.240
She was a brogue koala. That's
what I look with a nice watch.

375
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:12.200
Yeah, or for or or however
much she pondered for. But this is

376
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.799
why you don't. You don't let
people live in your house. You don't

377
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.200
let strangers deliver you food. What
are we doing is we're getting in people's

378
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.640
cars now because they have a good
rating. What are you doing our whole

379
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:27.039
lives we were told to stay out
of people's cars. We really have come

380
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:33.839
full circle, especially especially Uh,
I'm especially tempted to get in somebody's car

381
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:52.640
if they also have my food.
We're listening to the Treehouse because it us

382
00:30:52.720 --> 00:31:04.359
online that Treehouse on air dot com. Okay, let's get Daniel Cook into

383
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:08.400
the Treehouse now from Cook DFW Roofing
and Restoration, the phone number eight three

384
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:14.079
three Cook DFW, the website Cook
dfw dot com. Now, Daniel,

385
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:15.759
you told me something recently. I
think it's important that we share this with

386
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:22.880
our Treehouse family. And that is
not all warranties are created equal. How

387
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.039
so, Dan, that's a huge
deal right there. So the warranties that

388
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.839
you receive from your contractor are definitely
not going to be the same. Most

389
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.160
people don't know this, but a
contractor cannot even give you a valid warranty

390
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:40.880
through the manufacturer unless they are certified
and they are redshirt with that manufacturer.

391
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:44.960
So sometimes you'll see guys coming out
there with different products every day. They

392
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.279
don't have a certain product that they
are endorsed in red shirt with verify that

393
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:55.079
they're you know, have insurance,
they are accredited contractor with installation processes has

394
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.920
been verified. And so those warranties
that a contractor may say you get,

395
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.200
you may not truly be receiving the
RIDTHM when it needs it. So we

396
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.720
are a Owens Corning preferred contractors,
so we're able to provide a warranty that

397
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:13.440
most contractors do not automatically. So
we stand behind our installation and our product

398
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:16.279
more than majority of the contractors out
there. So that's a big, big

399
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:20.519
difference, and so you need to
verify what kind of warranty you're going to

400
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:22.200
receive. And also on top of
that, when you sell your house,

401
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.240
say you're gonna sell your house in
three years, is that warranty transferable?

402
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:30.359
Our's this so you can actually tell
your homeowner you're going to get another roof

403
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.480
warranty more than what most people are
going to get, and you're going to

404
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.799
get the same coverage that that homeowner
had when they bought it. Give Daniel

405
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:39.799
Cook and his guys to call it
Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. They know

408
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:55.240

Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing into the treehouse again.

409
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:59.200
Their phone number two one, four
three six eight thirty eight thirty eight.

410
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:01.519
And the website which is always fun
to look at, nose doc photography.

411
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:06.720
I remember that is Brooks Plumbing Texas
dot com. All right, So

412
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:08.119
what did you want to hit me
with today, Jacqueline, Well, I

413
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:12.400
was so. I know that some
of your listeners are actually plumbers because they're

414
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.160
friends of mine or they work with
my fiance. But for those of you

415
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.920
who don't know, there's three key
components, three rules of life when you

416
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.839
are a plumber, and the rules
that we live by essentially are payday is

417
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:29.799
every Friday. If your employer can't
pay you, jump ship immediately, uh

418
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:37.440
shi, t rolls downhill, and
never eat with your hands because it's my

419
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.519
pun that I like to make because
of tankless water heaters. Is it's a

420
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:45.799
tankless job, but somebody's got to
do it. That's my pun. Wow,

421
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.839
Wow, you know what. I
think you're missing something. Hang on,

422
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:51.759
hang on, find this for here
on the fly real quick. Here.

423
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:59.119
That was so good, I'm going
to give you the end of show

424
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:04.200
music. Good job, Want want
one. Actually, it's funny. I

425
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.679
think they say that puns are the
lowest form of humor unless they they are

426
00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:10.800
your own. That one is mine, and then for your listeners only,

427
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:16.119
I'll also say that, since we
have that little rubber ducky, the unwritten

428
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:21.360
slogan of the company is duck around
and find out how quick we can get

429
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.639
it done. Yeah, you know
what. I like that one a lot.

430
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:27.440
I think that needs to be on
the side of the van. I

431
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.159
would have loved to have seen that
on the side of the van parked in

432
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.880
front of my house a couple of
weeks ago. He ducked around and found

433
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:37.000
out, Okay, one more,
one more, one more. I will

434
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:43.000
tell I'm we are wildly Italian.
All of my grandparents immigrated from Italy,

435
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:45.599
and I can tell you on what
day and on the name of what vote

436
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:50.519
et cetera, et cetera. And
so we started a like a side company

437
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:54.599
called Godfather Plumbing, which is completely
out of commission because it terrified North Texans.

438
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:59.400
They were not ready to see this
truck rolling down the highway with the

439
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:05.480
silhouette of three men holding guns and
plungers. And the tagline for that company

00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:08.400
So yeah, on that little break
in there, I forgot to mention to

452
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:14.159
you Trey and Raj. Yeah,
the people that were house sitting slash pet

453
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:16.440
sitting for us, Yes, they
live in a van in the States the

454
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:17.840
rest of the time. No,
no, no, no, no,

455
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.880
back up the story you were talking
about your upstairs whoever they are. We

456
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.559
have friends that have friends that live
in a van, and we like these

457
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:31.280
friends. They're young and responsible.
Let meca, they're friends. No,

458
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:32.920
no, no, no, no, let me recap the story. You

459
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.760
said, these friends came to you
and said because they're highly responsible friends and

460
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:43.519
you love them. They said,
hey, these are our friends. They're

461
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.800
like us, and you went,
oh okay, and they go instead of

462
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:53.079
living on an island, they just
live in a van and that's what they

463
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:57.159
do. They just travel the States
in a van. Okay, you're correct.

464
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.320
I'll rephrase and say the exact same
way that I that I that I

465
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:02.440
told you in trying the break.
Yes, So our friends who we love

466
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:09.840
and trust, h they live on
an island here right and they live they

467
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:12.920
live on St. Thomas. And
they said, hey, we have these

468
00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.559
friends that are like us. They're
they're young, but they're very responsible,

469
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:22.400
they're great, and they live in
a van state side and travel the country.

470
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:27.719
Okay, so except their living situation
is different, that's what was told

471
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.159
to us. No, no,
no, that's not a living situation.

472
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.599
No no, no, that's not
they're living situations not different. You live

473
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.360
in a house, they live in
a car. That's that's a different.

474
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:43.320
Are we talking about like an RV
type van or are we talking about like

475
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.719
the neck Lady van my uncle used
to have, or or are these people

476
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:51.400
solving crimes? What do they have
a dog that talks? Uh? Like?

477
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:52.519
What do we like? This is
what I'm trying to figure out,

478
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.679
Like did you have it was the
mystery man that talk the talking dog and

479
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:00.400
the weed? Then that that does
tie? It makes sense? That makes

480
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:05.320
sense. Ye had it been had
it been Daphne and Fred living in our

481
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.039
house from the van life, we
would have been fine. But instead we

482
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:15.440
got shaggy it Scooby those links.
Uh yeah of course, now all of

483
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:19.480
those Now this isn't it. This
doesn't all of it make sense? Now?

484
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.760
Yes, they took your tide pods? How else do you wash clothes

485
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.800
when you live in a van like
you're not stopping to get tide pots if

486
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:30.880
you can steal somebody's. They needed
foil to cover up the windows in the

487
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:36.199
van. So you're saying all the
stuff that turned up missing, it wasn't

488
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:38.159
because they used it and replaced it. They just took it. Yeah,

489
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:42.199
and they don't know how to water
plants because you don't have plants in a

490
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:47.320
van. You don't need to have
plants in a van to understand to watch

491
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:51.880
her green things when you're house sitting. Also, you know, god damn

492
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:54.159
good, well they got at least
one plant in that van. Yeah,

493
00:38:54.320 --> 00:39:00.119
yeah, that one they burned.
They don't water. They burned that plant.

494
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:05.639
And then the toilet paper roll,
and the quarter now makes sense.

495
00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.880
It's like, hey man, we
used to ball your toilet paper. We

496
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.559
don't know how much it costs because
we live in a van. So here's

497
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.920
a quarter attached to the toilet paper
roll because that's how much we believe your

498
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.719
poop costs. Here you go,
now all of this, But the one

499
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:25.679
thing that you said was missing that
ties all this together is the power strip

500
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:32.360
because they probably had they probably set
up a grow house for five weeks and

501
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:37.320
they literally like they grew their supply
for a year. Yeah, yeah,

502
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.119
your house. That's why they flowed
the windows that they had the hydroponics going

503
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:44.360
on power supply. When you get
your energy bill, if it's through the

504
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:49.880
roof, yeah, exactly what happened. So that's the other thing I didn't

505
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:52.239
tell you. I'm certain that the
energy bill is going to be through the

506
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:57.000
roof because one of the first things
we noticed we got back, besides the

507
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:01.079
TP roll with the quarter stuck in
it, is the water dripping down in

508
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:07.039
our What's basically it's it's like an
open air basement, So the water dripping

509
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:15.320
down underneath the house clearly had been
doing so for a long time to the

510
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:22.599
weed plants moist. Well, what
I'm pretty sure they were doing is they

511
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:27.599
were running the air conditioning so much
and so cold, they clogged the main

512
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:32.599
drain line. So water was backflowing
into the unit area and then into the

513
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:38.119
concrete floor and then so heavily it
was soaked up so heavily it was then

514
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:43.679
seeping through the concrete, dripping into
the driveway. Yeah. I don't know.

515
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:49.320
I think that the colder climate makes
for a stronger strain. So let's

516
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.440
just see what the market does in
the us after this trip. Let's see

517
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:59.599
if like there's a new strain called
O'Malley cush. It's gonna be O'Malley's house

518
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:08.599
once in a lifetime strain. Yeah, Omaldy's House tie pod strain. That's

519
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:12.440
gonna be the best weed ever ever. Was gonna talk about it all for

520
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:16.440
a quarter. Everybody on the scene's
gonna be like, dude, these guys

521
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:20.920
in a van rolled up and just
gave us some Omaley cush, best weed

522
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:24.920
ever so cold? Uh tastes like
dead plant. Yeah, this this makes

523
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:29.440
all the sense. None of none
of any of this should surprise you.

524
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:32.679
So on one hand, I'm glad
that I feel like we have a plausible

525
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:45.039
theory it's what happened. But I'm
mad now because I feel stupid, but

526
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:47.400
also because i feel stupid in that
I'm not getting it cut of any of

527
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:53.800
my own cush. They did it
leave me leave you a sample? No,

528
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:58.719
they should. They should have left
just the just the toilet paper roll

529
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:00.960
with a quarter in it to put, Hey, you for the toilet paper,

530
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.559
because that's how much they think it
costs, and then just a little

531
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:06.559
nugget right next to it, as
any man, thank you so much.

532
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:09.239
And then thank you so much for
letting us profit off of your home.

533
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:13.519
I love it. Okay, this
makes so much more sense. I thought

534
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:17.000
you're just letting random strangers live in
your house, but they probably I should

535
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:20.880
have left you so and just said, hey, you can make some good

536
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:22.599
brownies with this. But hey,
you need to go to the store and

537
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:34.800
buy some foil. You'll need parchment
paper for the bread. You both you

538
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:43.679
write in the asses eyes and nose, you in both ears at the same

539
00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:52.239
time. Ps your tide pods are
out, and you both for being right
