Welcome inside the Treehouse. It is
time to leave your worries outside and join
2
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:33.719
me. Daniel Malley, Trade Trendholm
and newly inducted Treehouse law enforcement Officer Raj
3
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:40.479
Sharma. Yeah, when you fight
crime in this Treehouse, you get recognized.
4
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.039
Thank you. You know, I
didn't use the word hero, and
5
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.479
I don't think I did either,
neither did the cops. But I will
6
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:58.600
tell you, but they said thanks
for the help. So if you haven't
7
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.920
heard it yet, do us a
do yourself a favor, go to patreon
8
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.879
dot com slash Treehouse on air.
You can hear all about how our hero
9
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:14.879
Raj or from here on to be
known as the Bollywood Batman, stop the
10
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.599
crime dead in its tracks. And
when the criminals said, who are you,
11
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.680
Raj said, what's up? I'm
brown man. I'm just a guy
12
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.719
on a phone talking to the police
telling them, can you please come and
13
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.560
stop this guy from from from doing
all the bad stuff that he's doing.
14
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.319
So maybe it was maybe it was
all those Bollywood hero movies that you've been
15
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.799
posting on Instagram. So it got
into you, It got into your veins,
16
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.480
into your soul, and so when
you saw this man doing bad,
17
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:55.959
you like the Indian Hulk tore all
your clothing and saved the day. Wait,
18
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.239
I'd like to contribute it to this
show and how much we you know,
19
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:06.680
we admire and do things for police
and fire and how they respond in
20
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.319
kindness to us and how much they
do for us. And I was like,
21
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.199
you know what, this would be
one of those things where I have
22
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.599
a new growing up. You know, you know, as a personal calor,
23
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.360
I've been stopped a lot for no
reason and all that stuff, So
24
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.520
you have a distrust of police and
this show has can of change that for
25
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:23.800
me. And so I was like, you know what, I'm gonna call
26
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.199
these people and I didn't want to. Like in my head, I'm like
27
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.560
they're gonna pull up and like they're
gonna arrest me, like throw me on
28
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.719
the ground. I'm like I'm the
one calling. I'm on the right.
29
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.000
But yeah, I think it's a
I years ago, I probably would have
30
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.120
let it go. Like, you
know, there's insurance on these things,
31
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.840
and there's that, and there's this
not always not on those things. Did
32
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.039
you do a snazzy little dance number
though, and and any point in this
33
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.960
which is weird, we did,
and the cops knew the routine, which
34
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:59.919
was very strange. So it turns
out the Bollywood films are accurate to life.
35
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.159
Had we had the whole the whole
end of slum Dog Millionaire. We
36
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.680
just did it right there on Trinity
Bills, kids crawling out of the crapper
37
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.960
knowing the entire routine. It was
really weird. I'm like, you guys
38
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.000
know this too, and they're like, how'd you know? I was like,
39
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.319
let's get this going. And the
criminal doing the same dance was the
40
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:23.199
handcuffs. It was very sweet.
It was a nice sendoff for found his
41
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:30.840
new found home in jail. Well. I wonder though, I wonder if
42
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:36.800
in jail and eventually prison where it
sounds like he's going to end up.
43
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.599
Yes, the winter storm back in
twenty twenty one, a lot of the
44
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.080
people that did not lose power,
it was because they were on the same
45
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.080
grids as hospitals, police stations,
fire houses. So that means if you're
46
00:03:53.080 --> 00:04:00.400
in jail, you're probably gonna have
heat correct, whereas the rest of US
47
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:08.240
law abiding citizens froze our asses off
thanks to Rkott And as if things couldn't
48
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:14.639
get worse for the public relations nightmare
that is Erkott, the Electric Reliability Council
49
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.759
of Texas the most ill formed entity
in the entire state. Do you think
50
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.240
they when they say that out loud, to actually say out the acronym,
51
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:29.000
they just giggle reliability? I think
they do. And then I think right
52
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.279
after that in a meeting when everyone
laughed, hr Sonata memo said, you
53
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:38.040
can't use the R word anymore.
That's now off the table. Don't use
54
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:43.439
it, just go like, you
know, Electric Council of Texas. Hey,
55
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:50.040
you gotta give them credit. They
put the lie in reliability. Well,
56
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.240
said raj And had you said that
in like twenty twenty five minutes,
57
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.319
we wait have ended the show on
that. But as it is, we
58
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.759
have a little bit. But you'll
forget I'll say it again, that's true.
59
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.480
Yeah, usually as a call back
at the end of the show.
60
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.279
So like, if you're listening right
now, in like twenty ish minutes,
61
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.959
skip ahead, Rajh's going to say
something very similar and it's gonna still be
62
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.639
hysterical, and then we're going to
end the show and everyone's going to be
63
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:20.120
happy on a Monday. But you're
not wrong, Urkott. I remember seeing
64
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:25.639
the news story, you know,
maybe a month or two ago that Urkott
65
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:31.439
said, hey, when you know, kind of like Ned Stark In almost
66
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:36.160
said Lord of the Flies in Game
of Thrones. Kind of like the Starks
67
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.839
and Game of Thrones. He's up
there saying brace yourselves, winter is coming,
68
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.040
and Urkott says, we're ready and
h Then the most recent headline,
69
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.399
which might be one of my favorites
ever, Yeah, Urkott cancels program to
70
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:56.600
boost power reserves ahead of potentially precarious
winter. I'm going to rephrase that slightly
71
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:03.399
shorter. Rkott cancels planning. Yeah. Yes, uh. And the logic
72
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:09.319
behind this is it is not winter
hasn't shown up yet, and so they're
73
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.920
like, hey, everything's good.
I'm like you do there, there's another
74
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:19.160
year coming. Maybe maybe that's the
new R that they've redefined in kut so
75
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.240
instead of reliability, which they're obviously
not allowed to use, at least not
76
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.920
with us in the public. Maybe
it's I lost my train of thought.
77
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.839
What was it you said? Oh? No, I was They basically was
78
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.120
like I think I think if I
read it right, They're like, well,
79
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.319
it hasn't been a rough winter yet, so we don't have to boost
80
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.879
our reserves, right, which means
the R in there now stands for uh
81
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.560
reactionary. Yes, like like they
should be EPCOT proactive, but they're not.
82
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.680
They're cut, they're reactive, and
that leaves a bunch of us frozen
83
00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.399
in our houses to starve and die
in some cases. Yeah, I'm lucky
84
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.079
in the when the first one happened, same grid as the hospital, and
85
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:10.079
then when we moved to this place, same grid as two hospitals in a
86
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:16.759
surgery center. So the full story
on this is Urkott has actually sought mothballed
87
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.560
and decommissioned power plants to fire up
for the winter, but none of them
88
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:28.600
were willing to reactivate. They basically
called around to all these different energy companies
89
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:34.720
and asked them, hey, will
you turn this old plant on? And
90
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.959
then those companies basically said yeah,
if you pay us, And then Urkott
91
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.720
said, well we don't, we
don't really do that, and they and
92
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.639
then the the energy provider said well
we don't really do that either, So
93
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.360
now they're just stuck. Yeah.
I like how they had a plan but
94
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:56.319
didn't check to see if the plan
was the plan go ahead. Drey just
95
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.079
didn't want to pay for the plan. Yeah, I guess. I guess.
96
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.759
I guess they you know, got
on you know, group on and
97
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.920
thought maybe they could do something else. No, they actually thought that these
98
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.240
energy companies, who are in the
business of making money would actually volunteer.
99
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.319
They're they're old plants and you know, pull the pull the cover off of
100
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.800
it, blow off the dust bunnies, and flip it on just because Erkott
101
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.199
asked nicely. And that's not how
it typically works. R Coott is Oliver
102
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.000
walking to the front with the ball
asking for more porridge, and the energy
103
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:35.919
company goes more and they say,
uh, very well done with the Oliver
104
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:43.039
twist reference man, thank you.
I am occasionally cultured. Yeah that was,
105
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.080
but now that I've but now that
I've been mildly cultured, now I'm
106
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:56.320
going to completely debase myself by comparing
Rkott two to an act that I mentioned
107
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.440
they should do in the summer.
So I'm going to bring that back right
108
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.840
now. So saying hey, we're
ready for winter, they said the same
109
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.679
thing in the summer or pre summer, they say we're ready for summer,
110
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.720
and guess what they weren't. And
at that time, what did I tell
111
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.159
them, You guys need to go
eat a bag of dicks. Why,
112
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.000
because you're telling us to conserve and
not use our air conditioning because we're sweating
113
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.519
balls. No, you get it
figured out. The more you tell us
114
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.480
not to do something, the more
we want to do the thing. Now
115
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.360
they're telling us we're ready for winter. All right, Urcott, it's time
116
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.919
to break out your bib because you're
about to eat a whole bunch of dicks.
117
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.000
I want you, I want you
to be ready. It's gonna be
118
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.480
like a crab boil. You're gonna
throw a bunch of dicks in a pot
119
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.559
with some seasoning and potatoes and some
corn. Then you're gonna invite the neighborhood
120
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.840
over for a backyard dick boil.
You're gonna throw them all out onto the
121
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.679
table on some newspaper and you're gonna
dick through. I use that intentionally.
122
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.360
And you're gonna eat the meat and
you're gonna struck the head, and then
123
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.720
the kids are gonna be in a
dry pool playing with them before they get
124
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.519
eaten. Wow, Okay, I
mean there's I mean, very very vivid
125
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.360
imagine was not an imagination. I
want this to happen. I wanted to
126
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.240
come to fruition. I want the
entire Council of Urkot lined up at a
127
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.039
dick table and eat them all every
time they say we're ready. Yeah,
128
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.399
okay, I just uh. All
I did was I just turned the heat
129
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:26.679
on and open all the windows.
That's all I'm doing. Joke's on you,
130
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.759
because across the street is the dick
boil. Just all those essences just
131
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.360
filling your nose coming across the street. And you know it, you know
132
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.639
the smell you're likes having a party. I thought it was just a Papa
133
00:10:43.639 --> 00:11:00.879
doze, But turns out you're listening

Thank you to Rage for saving the day,
161
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:37.240
you continuing to provide us with stellar
content, although at this point I
162
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.879
kind of wish they'd just do their
job. And speaking of doing your job,
163
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.080
I think we all can agree one
of the most difficult jobs there is
164
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:54.279
on the planet is teacher. Oh
yeah. I don't know how many teachers
165
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.799
you guys know or have known in
your lives, but I come from a
166
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.480
fan family of teachers. My grandmother
was a teacher, my mom for a
167
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.480
while was a teacher, my aunt, my father started out as a teacher,
168
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:18.559
And so I know what teachers go
through on many levels, and I
169
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.240
understand when they snap, and I'm
a little bit biased and when I say
170
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.000
a little bit biased. I'm almost
every single time going to side with the
171
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.039
teacher. There are exceptions, don't
get me wrong. There, Like any
172
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.399
profession, there are some bad ones
and they do and say some things they
173
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:37.759
shouldn't, But for the most part, underpaid, underappreciated, it's really a
174
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.559
hilacious job. Yep. And after
the COVID lockdowns. And I say this
175
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.360
because at the time, I was
living with my ex and her two children.
176
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.879
And if you didn't gain an enormous
amount of respect for teachers after the
177
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.879
COVID lockdown, and you were trying
to teach your kids at home, then
178
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.200
you're an idiot because that out,
you know, it killed almost kills a
179
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:07.320
lot of people, a lot of
kids. So yeah, home schooling,
180
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:13.960
not the COVID. Yeah, COVID
was looking like a good option at a
181
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.320
certain point, if like, if
that's where like if I was in that
182
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.320
situation and I and I got like
three four kids staring back at me and
183
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.559
they're expecting me to teach them some
stuff like you go to school, yeah,
184
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.399
or you know what you used to
hear, I'm gonna go to school.
185
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:33.240
I'd rather take my chances with with
the VID. Yeah, my girlfriend
186
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.120
all through college. She graduated and
became a teacher, and I remember going
187
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.639
to visit her in her class,
and uh, they didn't They had to
188
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.559
buy their own. And I don't
know if this is still true, but
189
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.879
they have to buy their own.
Like if you want to do crafts or
190
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.120
projects or stuff with the kids,
you have to buy your own stuff.
191
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.600
So, like all the crayons and
all the the paper stuff that you got
192
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.879
to buy, she had to buy
all. So I ended up I was
193
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.600
like, let me just do that, let me let me buy it.
194
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.759
And I bought their stuff for the
year, which was only a couple hundred
195
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.720
bucks. But I'm like, you
have to pay for this out of pocket
196
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.639
and you're not getting paid that much. So, yes, they do have
197
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.759
a tendency, and they drink a
lot. I don't know if you've ever
198
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.240
been with a group of teachers,
but yeah, the drink a lot.
199
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.080
Yeah, it's fantastic if you get
a chance to drink with teachers or go
200
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.080
to rehab pick the ladder. You
know. It's like as a kid,
201
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.200
you never wanted to go to like
the parent teacher conferences that you had to
202
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.840
go to and you had to sit
outside while while your parents, and the
203
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.200
teacher talked about you. But as
an adult, Yeah, there's like a
204
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.080
like an actual teacher's conference someplace.
I got a hotel somewhere, and I
205
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.679
don't even know if they're allowed in
Vegas, because Vegas might be like no,
206
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.200
no, no, no, Yeah, we can't how many teachers at
207
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:41.879
once, But if you can't,
that would be a party to go to
208
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:47.799
because they are seem Yeah. I
had a buddy mine who was a teacher.
209
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.320
He used to teach at the juvenile
detention center, so all the like
210
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.320
really bad kids, they still have
to go to school. And he's like,
211
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.039
hey, man, come to my
house. There's a party. And
212
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:57.279
I was like, okay, this
is going to be me and a bunch
213
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:02.039
of teachers. And I went,
wow, that sounds boring. And I
214
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.200
walked into his house and I can't
even make this up and it's burned into
215
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.119
my brain. I walked in and
there's a lady's standing there, Uh,
216
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:14.079
sweater, no pants, shoes.
That means she had taken her shoes off,
217
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:15.839
to take her pants off and then
put her shoes back on. Uh.
218
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:21.839
And she has an industrial size of
cess sized bottle of Jaeger. And
219
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:23.160
I've never met this lady before I
just opened the door and this is all
220
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.960
I see. And she looks at
me and she goes buckle the f up,
221
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:32.519
and I was like, and I
just remember slowly shutting the door and
222
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.000
going back to my car. I'm
like, I can't. I'm leaving,
223
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:38.440
Like, really, I have to. I have to. I have to
224
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.400
see what she means. I have
to go in and experience that. I
225
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.279
to see what she means by buckle
the f up because ironically she can't buckle
226
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.079
anything. She's not wearing any pants. Yeah, and then I called my
227
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:49.960
buddy Richie the next day and I
was like, how's the party goes,
228
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.920
dude? I woke up in the
tub and I was like, yep,
229
00:17:52.960 --> 00:18:00.680
that's why I left. And he
was wearing her sweater. She was wearing
230
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:07.519
his hats. So the other day. I don't know how viral this went,
231
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.680
but it was definitely major in North
Texas because nowadays, if a teacher
232
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.880
snaps in a classroom, you're not
just having students witness it, because nowadays
233
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.559
the students all have their own phones, which means they can record, slash,
234
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.960
live stream this stuff. So when
teachers snap these days, it usually
235
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.920
ends up online for everyone to witness
as opposed to just the kids in the
236
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:38.200
classroom. So this latest incident,
and I haven't had a chance to completely
237
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.720
verify this, so I'm going off
of internet knowledge. Here and captioned,
238
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.079
this is a teacher at Raulett High
School and he just I don't know what
239
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.720
preceded this. I don't know what's
happened since I just know what happens in
240
00:18:53.759 --> 00:19:00.480
this moment where he absolutely loses his
mind because and his word words, he's
241
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:12.680
tired of being disrespected. I got
it. What are you doing? So
242
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.400
that's a chair he just kicked across
the room? Mm hmmm. And I
243
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.759
think in the beginning he actually mentioned
something about, uh, you're making me
244
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.039
bring hell fire on you, which
if that's for a teacher, that's a
245
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:41.200
hell of a catchphrase. M what
are you doing? That's where he uh
246
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.319
uh, you know, Bobby Knight
like threw the chair across the court.
247
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.640
This guy showed up Bobby Knight because
he saw the chair, kicked that bitch
248
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.480
across the room, and then he
went over to it, picked it up,
249
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.839
slammed it back down on the ground
again, and we all realized,
250
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.640
in the teacher's mind, he wants
that to be the kid, but it
251
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:08.640
can only be the chair type of
ship. I'm proud of it. God
252
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:15.039
damn almost don't very nicely told you
what to do. I had to touch
253
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:21.599
you, got damn it. You
won't even it. Now. What's bad
254
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.200
about this is you have some kids
that are uh just you have two.
255
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.599
You have two kinds of kids in
that classroom, ones that are witnessing,
256
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.319
that are kind of shocked and like, oh my god, what do we
257
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:34.480
do? Don't move? And then
there's the kid who's laughing at the whole
258
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.799
thing. He just thinks the whole
thing is hysterical. And that kid is
259
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.920
next to the kid that this teacher's
screaming at. Nice told you what to
260
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:52.039
do. I had to touch you, got it. You won't even trust
261
00:20:52.240 --> 00:21:04.799
it to anything else to me,
don't come across you know. It's serious.
262
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:11.079
When when there are two things that
get thrown out, one is dude,
263
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.960
there was no dude here, this
this was not a dude situation.
264
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.480
The other is when you throw goddamn
in the middle of stuff where it doesn't
265
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.039
normally fit. And that's what he
does. Here there and here. Listen
266
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:30.319
to this again. Enough is a
goddamn enough, Yeah, yeah, ray,
267
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.599
I'm curious, is the video to
this. I saw a clip,
268
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.720
I didn't hear the audio. Is
it is this guy? And then is
269
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.559
there another adult kind of holding him
back? No, this is this is
270
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:51.200
a free arrange teacher, okay,
which which for the students, you got
271
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.880
to keep in mind. If he's
like it starts with a chair, don't
272
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:59.000
push him. That's where the kid
who's laughing doesn't understand what could happen because
273
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.240
you keep laughing at the event and
you may become the chair. It could
274
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.160
escalate in the blink of an eye. Yeah, that's because there is there
275
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.359
is something that the newer generations.
There is a concept that they do not
276
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.599
understand. And I say this and
it's work, school, everything. And
277
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.880
it's a principle we learned because we
didn't want to get our asses whipped.
278
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:27.799
And the principle is fly below the
radar. So yeah, not only not
279
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:34.000
only does it occasionally work as a
program director of the Eagle, but it
280
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:41.640
is also sage advice for school survivability. Yes, and this is also one
281
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.119
of those things where if you ever
in your life have wondered, man,
282
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.720
I wonder what Samuel L. Jackson
would be like as a teacher. This
283
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.839
is this is that, this is
his this was his Snakes on a Plane,
284
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.680
Like, yeah, this is the
teacher snakes on a plane. But
285
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.839
the next step is this is gonna
be Sam. Sam Jackson's like next Oscar,
286
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.559
right because now he's got to play
this guy and it's gonna be great.
287
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.039
I'm gonna be lined up to see
it opening night. The name of
288
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:18.359
that movie. He's had a goddamn
noth but it really does. It goes
289
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:23.160
back to saying teachers are not appreciated
for how difficult of a job they have.
290
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.200
And that's true. I don't care
where you are, whether it's role
291
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:33.480
at high school or South central LA. The job is hard. You're Dan,
292
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.640
I believe I sent you this news
article in the UH and and this
293
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.880
can't be a surprise as to what
state it is. There's one state where
294
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:47.039
teachers are just saying screw it and
they're leaving the state. And he goes,
295
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.519
wow, Okay, so you said
there was no surprise as to where
296
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:55.880
it was. So I'm gonna go
out on a limb with this show.
297
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:03.119
And so is it our favorite state? Florida? Absolutely? Congratulations, ding
298
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.119
ding ding ding ding. They're just
leaving they're just like, well, we're
299
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:15.759
done teaching basically. Yeah, They're
like, we're leaving. There's there's there's
300
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:19.480
greener pastures elsewhere. Yeah. This
guy's like this guy's got kicking a chair
301
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:33.720
and they're like kicking counties looking good
to Florida teachers. Oh god, that's
302
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:41.200
that's a frightening thought, the education
mecca of the United States, because i
303
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.920
mean, like, like like Davy
Crockett said, you may all go to
304
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.279
Hell, and I'm going to Texas. Florida teachers are saying we're going to
305
00:24:48.319 --> 00:25:06.799
Alabama. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse on air
306
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:15.039
dot com. Let's talk to Daniel
Cook from cook DFW Roofing and Restoration for
307
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.920
your free roof inspection. Give them
a call eight three to three cook DFW
308
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.680
or the website cookidfw dot com for
all the amazing work that they do and
309
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.119
have done. Right now, I'm
curious, though, Daniel, we're getting
310
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.759
into the height of the holiday season. We've got Thanksgiving behind us, We've
311
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.039
got things, We've got Thanksgiving behind
us, we have Christmas and New Year's
312
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.559
coming up. Some curious, what's
your favorite part of the holiday season?
313
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.440
What's definitely changed over the years when
you're a parent. My two girls are
314
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:47.920
much older now, twenty three and
seventeen, but obviously in the younger days,
315
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.279
it was always fun watching them get
up and wake up and have all
316
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.759
that excitement in their face to go
see the presence that morning and to see
317
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.880
what's happened, and still believing in
Santa Claus, and so that was the
318
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.160
deal. Now as you get older, now it becomes where we like to
319
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:08.240
get with our friends and other family
members, and I think, honestly,
320
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:15.920
the favorite time is the white Christmas
gifts because you never know what the hell,
321
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.440
oh excuse me, sorry, what
the heck you can find in some
322
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:26.240
of those white Christmas gifts. Okay, I've seen like s and m mask
323
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:33.079
and body suits come out. I've
seen like specialty shot glasses, adult toys,
324
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.079
you know, all these weird apparatuses, and it's like, you know,
325
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.680
that's some of the best fun ever
is watching all these most innocent people
326
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.920
that you think, all of a
sudden get into a room together and have
327
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.240
a little bit of alcohol involved,
and everybody brings these most silliest white elephant
328
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.920
gifts and it's it's it's it's a
classic. I tell you, we're actually
329
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.359
thinking of doing that at the road
show coming up on Saturday, December night
330
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:00.720
at Shakerson. So it's going to
be a shame you're going to miss it
331
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.960
because I have a feeling we're going
to have some very outline just gifts exchange,
332
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.160
but we'll tech photos and video and
we'll send it to you. How
333
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.440
about that, please? I'm still
I know that if I was there,
334
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.799
I know what I would have.
I would have a T shirt or a
335
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.160
hoodie letting everybody know that I'm hotter
than bear Spray. Still, I won't
336
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.799
get over that. It's funny you
mention that because we're going to have those
337
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.960
shirts available at the event. One
thing you can do for a White Elephant
338
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.240
gift exchange if you were just flat
ass broke, what you can do is
339
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:36.440
write on a sheet of paper free
roof inspection from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration and
340
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:38.799
convince people you paid hundreds of dollars
for it, just to let them know
341
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.880
that you got it for free and
you found out about it here in the
342
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.680
Treehouse. So give Daniel Cook a
call for that free roof inspection eight three
343
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.920
to three Cook DFW or the website
cookdfw dot com. It's the Treehouse.
344
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.319
Fresh off of her Caribbean cruise vacation, Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing is back inside
345
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.680
the Treehouse in her normal fashion,
and we want to talk to her now
346
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.279
about a couple of things. One, how did you like your trip?
347
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.440
And two, speaking of trips,
I believe you're all the guys that work
348
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:12.759
for Brooks Plumbing or having their fishing
trip right. Yes, I am really
349
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.480
happy that I went to the Caribbean
and that I'm not on their boat because
350
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.359
they're on Lake Texoma today and it's
very nice out here. But they went
351
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.000
very early. Boat took off early, and I got a phone call from
352
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.359
a couple of them. We're pulling
back in now and they're literally going to
353
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:32.599
do some phallic measuring. They're going
to lay out the fish and see who
354
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.079
got the biggest fish, and then
there's gonna be some sort of an awards
355
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.440
ceremony and bragging rights. And my
guys like to have fun, so I
356
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.759
think they all threw in like ten
dollars each and whoever got the biggest fish
357
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.079
is going to take the pot home, and so they're having a really good
358
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.680
time. But you could not.
I don't like the cold. I'm definitely
359
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.799
like a tropical person. Saint John
of Tulsa is the most beautiful, one
360
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.759
of the most beautiful places I've ever
been. And I used to live in
361
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.359
Hawaii for a very brief period of
time, and I'm very happy to know
362
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.680
that there's an eland that pretty half
the distance from from home. So I'm
363
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.480
sorry, I'll be around a lot. No no, please do. And
364
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.400
one of the big takeaways from this
conversation we're having is that you can know
365
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:17.039
as a possible or current client of
Brooks Plumbing. They they work hard and
366
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.319
they also enjoy themselves, so they're
good people, like to have a good
367
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:23.359
time and most of all, take
care of you. Two one four three

Plumbing Texas dot com. I got that
375
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:12.839
story that you sent. Trey pulled
up the headline does its job. Teachers
376
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:21.480
say they can't live and work in
Florida anymore. They start with a teacher
377
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:25.599
named Philip bill Castro. He looked
around his belongings piled with the storage unit.
378
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:29.680
Boxes of books, the mattress,
clothes, and old instruments from his
379
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.559
past life as a musician were cluttered
together. This is my entire life in
380
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.799
a ten x ten storage unit,
he said, laughing. The Saint Petersburg
381
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.480
High School English teacher moved out of
his apartment this summer after rent increased to
382
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.559
more than half of his monthly pay, reluctant to leave the community. Cost
383
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:56.240
of living got out of control.
And the schools suck. And when they
384
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.440
say the schools, you know they
mean the kids when they say the kids
385
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:04.400
and the schools. A lot of
times just the parents, because the parents
386
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.799
can be way worse than the kids, because parents think their kids are little
387
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:14.599
angels, or they're aware, Like
I joke about things on stage like this,
388
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:18.599
and I'm like, because I'll ask
teachers, I'm like, and they're
389
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.160
reluctant to do it, but I
have to remind them that they're in a
390
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.359
safe space. I'm like, so
your teacher, yeah, well grade,
391
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.319
I'm like six. I'm like,
who's your favorite student? Oh so,
392
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.559
And so immediately they have their favorite
student, they go who's the worst and
393
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:30.079
they go, oh, I can't
say, I go, I know,
394
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.359
but you want to, so say
it. And immediately the name comes out,
395
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.400
and I go, are the parents
nice and he's a dick? Or
396
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.559
is it are they just all dicks? And nine times out of ten it's
397
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.960
they're all dicks, Like the parents
are the same way as the kid.
398
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:49.119
And then sometimes it's just you have
one bad kid and he just ruins the
399
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:55.839
whole class. The thing is,
like, you hear about these problems here,
400
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.599
like in India, in Asia especially, like your teachers can beat in
401
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:06.359
class, beat you, like still
to my teachers get in class beat you,
402
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:08.720
they did beat. It turns out, Trey, you and I went
403
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:16.200
to U Mumbai is SD No.
It's like here like like because corporal punishment
404
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.880
was around when when we were kids
as well, So it's like if you
405
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.119
did something wrong, you went to
the principal's office. And here's what it
406
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:28.119
was. Oh no, it started
with the teacher would put you in front
407
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.359
of the class and they had paddles. They would swatch you. Then I
408
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.440
would get sent to the principal's office
and then I would take a shot.
409
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:40.480
They would be then to the coach's
office of football practice swat and home to
410
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:47.680
grab belt. And it was dad's
turn, because you know what, belt
411
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:57.039
got to eat too, and that
and that was growing up at a certain
412
00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:02.920
time now and and and this is
this is an interesting dynamic because there is
413
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:13.039
now loads of research that psychologists and
psychiatrists and social workers and experts and children
414
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:17.799
have come to say, don't do
that because it's ultimately damaging to your children.
415
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.039
And I will say I am damaged
because of a lot of the things
416
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:27.279
that happened to me as a child
abuse wise. At the same time,
417
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.519
I was also really well mannered.
Yeah. So at a certain point,
418
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.079
it's like, well, where do
we find the balance? You know,
419
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.720
It's like, Okay, you can
deal with a little bit of childhood trauma
420
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:39.599
that will carry over into your adult
years, but at the same time,
421
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.519
I want you to sit down and
shut up on occasion, Yeah, I
422
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.839
mean, but that's also I mean, we also called abuse whatever. Like
423
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:51.319
I was at was a department store
last night getting some stuff for Christmas,
424
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:54.559
and I watched this kid have an
utter meltdown over the fact that they were
425
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.319
going to put him in a timeout
when he got home, and I was
426
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.319
like, man, I would have
old for a time out kid. I
427
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.559
remember going to uh. I remember
going to a kid's house one time and
428
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.960
he got in trouble and his parents
said, you go sit in the corner,
429
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:12.360
you go time out, and I'm
like, time out. Yeah,
430
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.400
the only, the only reason,
the only, my only reference to time
431
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:21.280
out was when my mom would tag
in my dad. Yeah yeah. My
432
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:22.519
mom would get winded and she was
like, yeah, yeah, time out.
433
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:28.199
And I hate to say this,
but I'm going to say it because
434
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.880
it's an old man phrase. But
in my day, a time out wasn't
435
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:35.360
for the kids, it was for
the it was for the adults. Yeah.
436
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.280
My dad's time out was he had
to go smoke a Carlton and then
437
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:44.320
come back and finish the top turns
out Carlton's and are not you know,
438
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:51.159
they're not just for enjoyment, they
also give you energy. I'm gonna smoke
439
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.920
this rhythm gonna smoke your ass.
Weird. It's a weird thing to say
440
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:59.880
that. Let me throw this out
there if if you happen to be a
441
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.159
teacher and you need to blow off
some steam, I have the perfect time
442
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:08.559
and place for you to do so
in your own safe space, and that
443
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:15.719
is at our Treehouse Podcast Christmas road
Show at Shaker Ten's on Saturday this Saturday,
444
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.559
December ninth, four to seven pm. So that means you can come
445
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:24.000
hang out with us, have a
good time, you can possibly enjoy the
446
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:30.840
roast of me, and that's after
the actual taping of the show, and
447
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.639
some drinks will be had. There's
food there, we'll have some merch scheduled
448
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.119
to appear. In addition to the
three of us, will be Jerry Caldwell,
449
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:43.159
Everett Newton is kind of a maybe
depending on his health. And then
450
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:45.960
also Anadhara is going to be there
and where it is. She's going to
451
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.800
be partaking in some roasting, which
I'm mildly afraid of because she can be
452
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:55.800
vicious like a drunk chihwaba when she
wants to be. And so it's going
453
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:59.039
to be a great time. So
as a teacher can come bl off some
454
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:00.639
steam in your own safe space,
so you can say and do pretty much
455
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.880
whatever you want. I think Shaker
Tins may require you to wear pants,
456
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.000
but I'm not certain, So don't
don't hold you know, don't hold it
457
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:12.079
against me. Yeah, that's Saturday
at Shaker Tins four to seven, and
458
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.840
you can bring you can bring a
toy for a special needs child that will
459
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.880
have up that you can see the
type of toys that they need at the
460
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.039
Warren Center. Yeah. I was
just saying, I think the whole ax
461
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.760
ax throwing phenomenon was based on a
teacher's idea. It's like, how do
462
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:31.320
how do I kill my students without
killing my students axe throwing? Because it's
463
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:36.719
the only thing I've ever seen where
they serve alcohol and let you hold an
464
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.360
axe. Like I've never like that. I've never seen those two things go
465
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.440
well. But yeah, I think
if I was the parent of a child
466
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:46.320
that brought home the permission slip for
the school trip to go to the ax
467
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:52.239
throwing place, I'd be like,
Okay, whatever happened to the Museum of
468
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:59.119
Natural History or you know, I'm
ax. Yeah, it's I'm axe,
469
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:04.239
That's exactly I don't I don't know
if third grade is appropriate to go to
470
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:12.960
the place called the chop house,
I should be signing this. Some parents
471
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:21.880
are like, yeah, take your
brother too. Here's my wife. What
472
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:36.280
happened to just losing them on the
field trip. It's a another kid lost
473
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:46.440
to night at ten. It's a
real pandemic. We got here and not
474
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:51.079
everyone knows this. But that's why
they had to institute the policy of permission
475
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.239
slips, because it wasn't so much
a permission slip to go on the trip.
476
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:58.599
It was a permission for the teachers
to lose your child. Something's got
477
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:05.159
to go in the back of a
milk carton otherwise it's just a bunch of
478
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:15.559
lights. Man. I'm glad it's
glad it's ramping up to the Christmas season
479
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:21.719
because I'm a feeling by New Year's
we're all gonna be in hell. Oh
480
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:25.360
man, I love it. Inside
the Treehouse mention it again. Shakerton's Saturday
481
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:31.000
four to seven pm. Bring a
new unwrapped toy for a disabled child or
482
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:34.320
special needs. I should say some
are disabled, some special needs. It
483
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.800
kind of runs a gamut. Earth
to age three and the roast of me
484
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:43.480
will have some fun there and a
live taping of this yere treehouse so you
485
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:50.360
can see all the hell inducing in
person with alcohol in the treehouse. We'll
486
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:50.920
see you there
1
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.079
Welcome inside the Treehouse. It is
time to leave your worries outside and join
2
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:33.719
me. Daniel Malley, Trade Trendholm
and newly inducted Treehouse law enforcement Officer Raj
3
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:40.479
Sharma. Yeah, when you fight
crime in this Treehouse, you get recognized.
4
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.039
Thank you. You know, I
didn't use the word hero, and
5
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.479
I don't think I did either,
neither did the cops. But I will
6
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:58.600
tell you, but they said thanks
for the help. So if you haven't
7
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.920
heard it yet, do us a
do yourself a favor, go to patreon
8
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.879
dot com slash Treehouse on air.
You can hear all about how our hero
9
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:14.879
Raj or from here on to be
known as the Bollywood Batman, stop the
10
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.599
crime dead in its tracks. And
when the criminals said, who are you,
11
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.680
Raj said, what's up? I'm
brown man. I'm just a guy
12
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.719
on a phone talking to the police
telling them, can you please come and
13
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.560
stop this guy from from from doing
all the bad stuff that he's doing.
14
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.319
So maybe it was maybe it was
all those Bollywood hero movies that you've been
15
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.799
posting on Instagram. So it got
into you, It got into your veins,
16
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.480
into your soul, and so when
you saw this man doing bad,
17
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:55.959
you like the Indian Hulk tore all
your clothing and saved the day. Wait,
18
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.239
I'd like to contribute it to this
show and how much we you know,
19
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:06.680
we admire and do things for police
and fire and how they respond in
20
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.319
kindness to us and how much they
do for us. And I was like,
21
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.199
you know what, this would be
one of those things where I have
22
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.599
a new growing up. You know, you know, as a personal calor,
23
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.360
I've been stopped a lot for no
reason and all that stuff, So
24
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.520
you have a distrust of police and
this show has can of change that for
25
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:23.800
me. And so I was like, you know what, I'm gonna call
26
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.199
these people and I didn't want to. Like in my head, I'm like
27
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.560
they're gonna pull up and like they're
gonna arrest me, like throw me on
28
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.719
the ground. I'm like I'm the
one calling. I'm on the right.
29
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.000
But yeah, I think it's a
I years ago, I probably would have
30
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.120
let it go. Like, you
know, there's insurance on these things,
31
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.840
and there's that, and there's this
not always not on those things. Did
32
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.039
you do a snazzy little dance number
though, and and any point in this
33
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.960
which is weird, we did,
and the cops knew the routine, which
34
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:59.919
was very strange. So it turns
out the Bollywood films are accurate to life.
35
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.159
Had we had the whole the whole
end of slum Dog Millionaire. We
36
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.680
just did it right there on Trinity
Bills, kids crawling out of the crapper
37
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.960
knowing the entire routine. It was
really weird. I'm like, you guys
38
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.000
know this too, and they're like, how'd you know? I was like,
39
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.319
let's get this going. And the
criminal doing the same dance was the
40
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:23.199
handcuffs. It was very sweet.
It was a nice sendoff for found his
41
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:30.840
new found home in jail. Well. I wonder though, I wonder if
42
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:36.800
in jail and eventually prison where it
sounds like he's going to end up.
43
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.599
Yes, the winter storm back in
twenty twenty one, a lot of the
44
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.080
people that did not lose power,
it was because they were on the same
45
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.080
grids as hospitals, police stations,
fire houses. So that means if you're
46
00:03:53.080 --> 00:04:00.400
in jail, you're probably gonna have
heat correct, whereas the rest of US
47
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:08.240
law abiding citizens froze our asses off
thanks to Rkott And as if things couldn't
48
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:14.639
get worse for the public relations nightmare
that is Erkott, the Electric Reliability Council
49
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.759
of Texas the most ill formed entity
in the entire state. Do you think
50
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.240
they when they say that out loud, to actually say out the acronym,
51
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:29.000
they just giggle reliability? I think
they do. And then I think right
52
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.279
after that in a meeting when everyone
laughed, hr Sonata memo said, you
53
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:38.040
can't use the R word anymore.
That's now off the table. Don't use
54
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:43.439
it, just go like, you
know, Electric Council of Texas. Hey,
55
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:50.040
you gotta give them credit. They
put the lie in reliability. Well,
56
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.240
said raj And had you said that
in like twenty twenty five minutes,
57
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.319
we wait have ended the show on
that. But as it is, we
58
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.759
have a little bit. But you'll
forget I'll say it again, that's true.
59
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.480
Yeah, usually as a call back
at the end of the show.
60
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.279
So like, if you're listening right
now, in like twenty ish minutes,
61
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.959
skip ahead, Rajh's going to say
something very similar and it's gonna still be
62
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.639
hysterical, and then we're going to
end the show and everyone's going to be
63
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:20.120
happy on a Monday. But you're
not wrong, Urkott. I remember seeing
64
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:25.639
the news story, you know,
maybe a month or two ago that Urkott
65
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:31.439
said, hey, when you know, kind of like Ned Stark In almost
66
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:36.160
said Lord of the Flies in Game
of Thrones. Kind of like the Starks
67
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.839
and Game of Thrones. He's up
there saying brace yourselves, winter is coming,
68
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.040
and Urkott says, we're ready and
h Then the most recent headline,
69
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.399
which might be one of my favorites
ever, Yeah, Urkott cancels program to
70
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:56.600
boost power reserves ahead of potentially precarious
winter. I'm going to rephrase that slightly
71
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:03.399
shorter. Rkott cancels planning. Yeah. Yes, uh. And the logic
72
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:09.319
behind this is it is not winter
hasn't shown up yet, and so they're
73
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.920
like, hey, everything's good.
I'm like you do there, there's another
74
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:19.160
year coming. Maybe maybe that's the
new R that they've redefined in kut so
75
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.240
instead of reliability, which they're obviously
not allowed to use, at least not
76
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.920
with us in the public. Maybe
it's I lost my train of thought.
77
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.839
What was it you said? Oh? No, I was They basically was
78
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.120
like I think I think if I
read it right, They're like, well,
79
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.319
it hasn't been a rough winter yet, so we don't have to boost
80
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.879
our reserves, right, which means
the R in there now stands for uh
81
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.560
reactionary. Yes, like like they
should be EPCOT proactive, but they're not.
82
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.680
They're cut, they're reactive, and
that leaves a bunch of us frozen
83
00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.399
in our houses to starve and die
in some cases. Yeah, I'm lucky
84
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.079
in the when the first one happened, same grid as the hospital, and
85
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:10.079
then when we moved to this place, same grid as two hospitals in a
86
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:16.759
surgery center. So the full story
on this is Urkott has actually sought mothballed
87
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.560
and decommissioned power plants to fire up
for the winter, but none of them
88
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:28.600
were willing to reactivate. They basically
called around to all these different energy companies
89
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:34.720
and asked them, hey, will
you turn this old plant on? And
90
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.959
then those companies basically said yeah,
if you pay us, And then Urkott
91
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.720
said, well we don't, we
don't really do that, and they and
92
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.639
then the the energy provider said well
we don't really do that either, So
93
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.360
now they're just stuck. Yeah.
I like how they had a plan but
94
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:56.319
didn't check to see if the plan
was the plan go ahead. Drey just
95
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.079
didn't want to pay for the plan. Yeah, I guess. I guess.
96
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.759
I guess they you know, got
on you know, group on and
97
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.920
thought maybe they could do something else. No, they actually thought that these
98
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.240
energy companies, who are in the
business of making money would actually volunteer.
99
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.319
They're they're old plants and you know, pull the pull the cover off of
100
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.800
it, blow off the dust bunnies, and flip it on just because Erkott
101
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.199
asked nicely. And that's not how
it typically works. R Coott is Oliver
102
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.000
walking to the front with the ball
asking for more porridge, and the energy
103
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:35.919
company goes more and they say,
uh, very well done with the Oliver
104
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:43.039
twist reference man, thank you.
I am occasionally cultured. Yeah that was,
105
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.080
but now that I've but now that
I've been mildly cultured, now I'm
106
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:56.320
going to completely debase myself by comparing
Rkott two to an act that I mentioned
107
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.440
they should do in the summer.
So I'm going to bring that back right
108
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.840
now. So saying hey, we're
ready for winter, they said the same
109
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.679
thing in the summer or pre summer, they say we're ready for summer,
110
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.720
and guess what they weren't. And
at that time, what did I tell
111
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.159
them, You guys need to go
eat a bag of dicks. Why,
112
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.000
because you're telling us to conserve and
not use our air conditioning because we're sweating
113
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.519
balls. No, you get it
figured out. The more you tell us
114
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.480
not to do something, the more
we want to do the thing. Now
115
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.360
they're telling us we're ready for winter. All right, Urcott, it's time
116
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.919
to break out your bib because you're
about to eat a whole bunch of dicks.
117
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.000
I want you, I want you
to be ready. It's gonna be
118
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.480
like a crab boil. You're gonna
throw a bunch of dicks in a pot
119
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.559
with some seasoning and potatoes and some
corn. Then you're gonna invite the neighborhood
120
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.840
over for a backyard dick boil.
You're gonna throw them all out onto the
121
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.679
table on some newspaper and you're gonna
dick through. I use that intentionally.
122
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.360
And you're gonna eat the meat and
you're gonna struck the head, and then
123
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.720
the kids are gonna be in a
dry pool playing with them before they get
124
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.519
eaten. Wow, Okay, I
mean there's I mean, very very vivid
125
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.360
imagine was not an imagination. I
want this to happen. I wanted to
126
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.240
come to fruition. I want the
entire Council of Urkot lined up at a
127
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.039
dick table and eat them all every
time they say we're ready. Yeah,
128
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.399
okay, I just uh. All
I did was I just turned the heat
129
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:26.679
on and open all the windows.
That's all I'm doing. Joke's on you,
130
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.759
because across the street is the dick
boil. Just all those essences just
131
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.360
filling your nose coming across the street. And you know it, you know
132
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.639
the smell you're likes having a party. I thought it was just a Papa
133

doze, But turns out you're listening

Thank you to Rage for saving the day,
161
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:37.240
you continuing to provide us with stellar
content, although at this point I
162
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.879
kind of wish they'd just do their
job. And speaking of doing your job,
163
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.080
I think we all can agree one
of the most difficult jobs there is
164
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:54.279
on the planet is teacher. Oh
yeah. I don't know how many teachers
165
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.799
you guys know or have known in
your lives, but I come from a
166
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.480
fan family of teachers. My grandmother
was a teacher, my mom for a
167
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.480
while was a teacher, my aunt, my father started out as a teacher,
168
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:18.559
And so I know what teachers go
through on many levels, and I
169
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.240
understand when they snap, and I'm
a little bit biased and when I say
170
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.000
a little bit biased. I'm almost
every single time going to side with the
171
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.039
teacher. There are exceptions, don't
get me wrong. There, Like any
172
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.399
profession, there are some bad ones
and they do and say some things they
173
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:37.759
shouldn't, But for the most part, underpaid, underappreciated, it's really a
174
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.559
hilacious job. Yep. And after
the COVID lockdowns. And I say this
175
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.360
because at the time, I was
living with my ex and her two children.
176
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.879
And if you didn't gain an enormous
amount of respect for teachers after the
177
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.879
COVID lockdown, and you were trying
to teach your kids at home, then
178
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.200
you're an idiot because that out,
you know, it killed almost kills a
179
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:07.320
lot of people, a lot of
kids. So yeah, home schooling,
180
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:13.960
not the COVID. Yeah, COVID
was looking like a good option at a
181
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.320
certain point, if like, if
that's where like if I was in that
182
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.320
situation and I and I got like
three four kids staring back at me and
183
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.559
they're expecting me to teach them some
stuff like you go to school, yeah,
184
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.399
or you know what you used to
hear, I'm gonna go to school.
185
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:33.240
I'd rather take my chances with with
the VID. Yeah, my girlfriend
186
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.120
all through college. She graduated and
became a teacher, and I remember going
187
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.639
to visit her in her class,
and uh, they didn't They had to
188
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.559
buy their own. And I don't
know if this is still true, but
189
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.879
they have to buy their own.
Like if you want to do crafts or
190
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.120
projects or stuff with the kids,
you have to buy your own stuff.
191
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.600
So, like all the crayons and
all the the paper stuff that you got
192
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.879
to buy, she had to buy
all. So I ended up I was
193
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.600
like, let me just do that, let me let me buy it.
194
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.759
And I bought their stuff for the
year, which was only a couple hundred
195
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.720
bucks. But I'm like, you
have to pay for this out of pocket
196
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.639
and you're not getting paid that much. So, yes, they do have
197
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.759
a tendency, and they drink a
lot. I don't know if you've ever
198
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.240
been with a group of teachers,
but yeah, the drink a lot.
199
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.080
Yeah, it's fantastic if you get
a chance to drink with teachers or go
200
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.080
to rehab pick the ladder. You
know. It's like as a kid,
201
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.200
you never wanted to go to like
the parent teacher conferences that you had to
202
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.840
go to and you had to sit
outside while while your parents, and the
203
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.200
teacher talked about you. But as
an adult, Yeah, there's like a
204
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.080
like an actual teacher's conference someplace.
I got a hotel somewhere, and I
205
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.679
don't even know if they're allowed in
Vegas, because Vegas might be like no,
206
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.200
no, no, no, Yeah, we can't how many teachers at
207
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:41.879
once, But if you can't,
that would be a party to go to
208
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:47.799
because they are seem Yeah. I
had a buddy mine who was a teacher.
209
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.320
He used to teach at the juvenile
detention center, so all the like
210
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.320
really bad kids, they still have
to go to school. And he's like,
211
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.039
hey, man, come to my
house. There's a party. And
212
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:57.279
I was like, okay, this
is going to be me and a bunch
213
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:02.039
of teachers. And I went,
wow, that sounds boring. And I
214
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.200
walked into his house and I can't
even make this up and it's burned into
215
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.119
my brain. I walked in and
there's a lady's standing there, Uh,
216
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:14.079
sweater, no pants, shoes.
That means she had taken her shoes off,
217
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:15.839
to take her pants off and then
put her shoes back on. Uh.
218
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:21.839
And she has an industrial size of
cess sized bottle of Jaeger. And
219
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:23.160
I've never met this lady before I
just opened the door and this is all
220
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.960
I see. And she looks at
me and she goes buckle the f up,
221
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:32.519
and I was like, and I
just remember slowly shutting the door and
222
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.000
going back to my car. I'm
like, I can't. I'm leaving,
223
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:38.440
Like, really, I have to. I have to. I have to
224
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.400
see what she means. I have
to go in and experience that. I
225
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.279
to see what she means by buckle
the f up because ironically she can't buckle
226
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.079
anything. She's not wearing any pants. Yeah, and then I called my
227
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:49.960
buddy Richie the next day and I
was like, how's the party goes,
228
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.920
dude? I woke up in the
tub and I was like, yep,
229
00:17:52.960 --> 00:18:00.680
that's why I left. And he
was wearing her sweater. She was wearing
230
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:07.519
his hats. So the other day. I don't know how viral this went,
231
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.680
but it was definitely major in North
Texas because nowadays, if a teacher
232
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.880
snaps in a classroom, you're not
just having students witness it, because nowadays
233
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.559
the students all have their own phones, which means they can record, slash,
234
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.960
live stream this stuff. So when
teachers snap these days, it usually
235
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.920
ends up online for everyone to witness
as opposed to just the kids in the
236
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:38.200
classroom. So this latest incident,
and I haven't had a chance to completely
237
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.720
verify this, so I'm going off
of internet knowledge. Here and captioned,
238
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.079
this is a teacher at Raulett High
School and he just I don't know what
239
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.720
preceded this. I don't know what's
happened since I just know what happens in
240
00:18:53.759 --> 00:19:00.480
this moment where he absolutely loses his
mind because and his word words, he's
241
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:12.680
tired of being disrespected. I got
it. What are you doing? So
242
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.400
that's a chair he just kicked across
the room? Mm hmmm. And I
243
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.759
think in the beginning he actually mentioned
something about, uh, you're making me
244
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.039
bring hell fire on you, which
if that's for a teacher, that's a
245
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:41.200
hell of a catchphrase. M what
are you doing? That's where he uh
246
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.319
uh, you know, Bobby Knight
like threw the chair across the court.
247
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.640
This guy showed up Bobby Knight because
he saw the chair, kicked that bitch
248
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.480
across the room, and then he
went over to it, picked it up,
249
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.839
slammed it back down on the ground
again, and we all realized,
250
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.640
in the teacher's mind, he wants
that to be the kid, but it
251
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:08.640
can only be the chair type of
ship. I'm proud of it. God
252
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:15.039
damn almost don't very nicely told you
what to do. I had to touch
253
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:21.599
you, got damn it. You
won't even it. Now. What's bad
254
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.200
about this is you have some kids
that are uh just you have two.
255
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.599
You have two kinds of kids in
that classroom, ones that are witnessing,
256
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.319
that are kind of shocked and like, oh my god, what do we
257
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:34.480
do? Don't move? And then
there's the kid who's laughing at the whole
258
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.799
thing. He just thinks the whole
thing is hysterical. And that kid is
259
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.920
next to the kid that this teacher's
screaming at. Nice told you what to
260
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:52.039
do. I had to touch you, got it. You won't even trust
261
00:20:52.240 --> 00:21:04.799
it to anything else to me,
don't come across you know. It's serious.
262
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:11.079
When when there are two things that
get thrown out, one is dude,
263
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.960
there was no dude here, this
this was not a dude situation.
264
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.480
The other is when you throw goddamn
in the middle of stuff where it doesn't
265
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.039
normally fit. And that's what he
does. Here there and here. Listen
266
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:30.319
to this again. Enough is a
goddamn enough, Yeah, yeah, ray,
267
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.599
I'm curious, is the video to
this. I saw a clip,
268
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.720
I didn't hear the audio. Is
it is this guy? And then is
269
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.559
there another adult kind of holding him
back? No, this is this is
270
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:51.200
a free arrange teacher, okay,
which which for the students, you got
271
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.880
to keep in mind. If he's
like it starts with a chair, don't
272
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:59.000
push him. That's where the kid
who's laughing doesn't understand what could happen because
273
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.240
you keep laughing at the event and
you may become the chair. It could
274
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.160
escalate in the blink of an eye. Yeah, that's because there is there
275
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.359
is something that the newer generations.
There is a concept that they do not
276
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.599
understand. And I say this and
it's work, school, everything. And
277
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.880
it's a principle we learned because we
didn't want to get our asses whipped.
278
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:27.799
And the principle is fly below the
radar. So yeah, not only not
279
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:34.000
only does it occasionally work as a
program director of the Eagle, but it
280
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:41.640
is also sage advice for school survivability. Yes, and this is also one
281
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.119
of those things where if you ever
in your life have wondered, man,
282
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.720
I wonder what Samuel L. Jackson
would be like as a teacher. This
283
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.839
is this is that, this is
his this was his Snakes on a Plane,
284
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.680
Like, yeah, this is the
teacher snakes on a plane. But
285
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.839
the next step is this is gonna
be Sam. Sam Jackson's like next Oscar,
286
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.559
right because now he's got to play
this guy and it's gonna be great.
287
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.039
I'm gonna be lined up to see
it opening night. The name of
288
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:18.359
that movie. He's had a goddamn
noth but it really does. It goes
289
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:23.160
back to saying teachers are not appreciated
for how difficult of a job they have.
290
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.200
And that's true. I don't care
where you are, whether it's role
291
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:33.480
at high school or South central LA. The job is hard. You're Dan,
292
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.640
I believe I sent you this news
article in the UH and and this
293
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.880
can't be a surprise as to what
state it is. There's one state where
294
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:47.039
teachers are just saying screw it and
they're leaving the state. And he goes,
295
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.519
wow, Okay, so you said
there was no surprise as to where
296
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:55.880
it was. So I'm gonna go
out on a limb with this show.
297
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:03.119
And so is it our favorite state? Florida? Absolutely? Congratulations, ding
298
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.119
ding ding ding ding. They're just
leaving they're just like, well, we're
299
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:15.759
done teaching basically. Yeah, They're
like, we're leaving. There's there's there's
300
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:19.480
greener pastures elsewhere. Yeah. This
guy's like this guy's got kicking a chair
301
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:33.720
and they're like kicking counties looking good
to Florida teachers. Oh god, that's
302
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:41.200
that's a frightening thought, the education
mecca of the United States, because i
303
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.920
mean, like, like like Davy
Crockett said, you may all go to
304
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.279
Hell, and I'm going to Texas. Florida teachers are saying we're going to
305
00:24:48.319 --> 00:25:06.799
Alabama. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse on air
306
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:15.039
dot com. Let's talk to Daniel
Cook from cook DFW Roofing and Restoration for
307
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.920
your free roof inspection. Give them
a call eight three to three cook DFW
308
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.680
or the website cookidfw dot com for
all the amazing work that they do and
309
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.119
have done. Right now, I'm
curious, though, Daniel, we're getting
310
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.759
into the height of the holiday season. We've got Thanksgiving behind us, We've
311
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.039
got things, We've got Thanksgiving behind
us, we have Christmas and New Year's
312
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.559
coming up. Some curious, what's
your favorite part of the holiday season?
313
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.440
What's definitely changed over the years when
you're a parent. My two girls are
314
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:47.920
much older now, twenty three and
seventeen, but obviously in the younger days,
315
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.279
it was always fun watching them get
up and wake up and have all
316
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.759
that excitement in their face to go
see the presence that morning and to see
317
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.880
what's happened, and still believing in
Santa Claus, and so that was the
318
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.160
deal. Now as you get older, now it becomes where we like to
319
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:08.240
get with our friends and other family
members, and I think, honestly,
320
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:15.920
the favorite time is the white Christmas
gifts because you never know what the hell,
321
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.440
oh excuse me, sorry, what
the heck you can find in some
322
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:26.240
of those white Christmas gifts. Okay, I've seen like s and m mask
323
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:33.079
and body suits come out. I've
seen like specialty shot glasses, adult toys,
324
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.079
you know, all these weird apparatuses, and it's like, you know,
325
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.680
that's some of the best fun ever
is watching all these most innocent people
326
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.920
that you think, all of a
sudden get into a room together and have
327
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.240
a little bit of alcohol involved,
and everybody brings these most silliest white elephant
328
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.920
gifts and it's it's it's it's a
classic. I tell you, we're actually
329
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.359
thinking of doing that at the road
show coming up on Saturday, December night
330
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:00.720
at Shakerson. So it's going to
be a shame you're going to miss it
331
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.960
because I have a feeling we're going
to have some very outline just gifts exchange,
332
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.160
but we'll tech photos and video and
we'll send it to you. How
333
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.440
about that, please? I'm still
I know that if I was there,
334
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.799
I know what I would have.
I would have a T shirt or a
335
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.160
hoodie letting everybody know that I'm hotter
than bear Spray. Still, I won't
336
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.799
get over that. It's funny you
mention that because we're going to have those
337
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.960
shirts available at the event. One
thing you can do for a White Elephant
338
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.240
gift exchange if you were just flat
ass broke, what you can do is
339
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:36.440
write on a sheet of paper free
roof inspection from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration and
340
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:38.799
convince people you paid hundreds of dollars
for it, just to let them know
341
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.880
that you got it for free and
you found out about it here in the
342
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.680
Treehouse. So give Daniel Cook a
call for that free roof inspection eight three
343
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.920
to three Cook DFW or the website
cookdfw dot com. It's the Treehouse.
344
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.319
Fresh off of her Caribbean cruise vacation, Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing is back inside
345
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.680
the Treehouse in her normal fashion,
and we want to talk to her now
346
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.279
about a couple of things. One, how did you like your trip?
347
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.440
And two, speaking of trips,
I believe you're all the guys that work
348
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:12.759
for Brooks Plumbing or having their fishing
trip right. Yes, I am really
349
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.480
happy that I went to the Caribbean
and that I'm not on their boat because
350
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.359
they're on Lake Texoma today and it's
very nice out here. But they went
351
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.000
very early. Boat took off early, and I got a phone call from
352
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.359
a couple of them. We're pulling
back in now and they're literally going to
353
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:32.599
do some phallic measuring. They're going
to lay out the fish and see who
354
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.079
got the biggest fish, and then
there's gonna be some sort of an awards
355
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.440
ceremony and bragging rights. And my
guys like to have fun, so I
356
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.759
think they all threw in like ten
dollars each and whoever got the biggest fish
357
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.079
is going to take the pot home, and so they're having a really good
358
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.680
time. But you could not.
I don't like the cold. I'm definitely
359
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.799
like a tropical person. Saint John
of Tulsa is the most beautiful, one
360
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.759
of the most beautiful places I've ever
been. And I used to live in
361
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.359
Hawaii for a very brief period of
time, and I'm very happy to know
362
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.680
that there's an eland that pretty half
the distance from from home. So I'm
363
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.480
sorry, I'll be around a lot. No no, please do. And
364
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.400
one of the big takeaways from this
conversation we're having is that you can know
365
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:17.039
as a possible or current client of
Brooks Plumbing. They they work hard and
366
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.319
they also enjoy themselves, so they're
good people, like to have a good
367
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:23.359
time and most of all, take
care of you. Two one four three

Plumbing Texas dot com. I got that
375
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:12.839
story that you sent. Trey pulled
up the headline does its job. Teachers
376
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:21.480
say they can't live and work in
Florida anymore. They start with a teacher
377
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:25.599
named Philip bill Castro. He looked
around his belongings piled with the storage unit.
378
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:29.680
Boxes of books, the mattress,
clothes, and old instruments from his
379
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.559
past life as a musician were cluttered
together. This is my entire life in
380
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.799
a ten x ten storage unit,
he said, laughing. The Saint Petersburg
381
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.480
High School English teacher moved out of
his apartment this summer after rent increased to
382
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.559
more than half of his monthly pay, reluctant to leave the community. Cost
383
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:56.240
of living got out of control.
And the schools suck. And when they
384
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.440
say the schools, you know they
mean the kids when they say the kids
385
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:04.400
and the schools. A lot of
times just the parents, because the parents
386
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.799
can be way worse than the kids, because parents think their kids are little
387
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:14.599
angels, or they're aware, Like
I joke about things on stage like this,
388
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:18.599
and I'm like, because I'll ask
teachers, I'm like, and they're
389
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.160
reluctant to do it, but I
have to remind them that they're in a
390
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.359
safe space. I'm like, so
your teacher, yeah, well grade,
391
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.319
I'm like six. I'm like,
who's your favorite student? Oh so,
392
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.559
And so immediately they have their favorite
student, they go who's the worst and
393
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:30.079
they go, oh, I can't
say, I go, I know,
394
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.359
but you want to, so say
it. And immediately the name comes out,
395
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.400
and I go, are the parents
nice and he's a dick? Or
396
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.559
is it are they just all dicks? And nine times out of ten it's
397
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.960
they're all dicks, Like the parents
are the same way as the kid.
398
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:49.119
And then sometimes it's just you have
one bad kid and he just ruins the
399
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:55.839
whole class. The thing is,
like, you hear about these problems here,
400
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.599
like in India, in Asia especially, like your teachers can beat in
401
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:06.359
class, beat you, like still
to my teachers get in class beat you,
402
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:08.720
they did beat. It turns out, Trey, you and I went
403
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:16.200
to U Mumbai is SD No.
It's like here like like because corporal punishment
404
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.880
was around when when we were kids
as well, So it's like if you
405
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.119
did something wrong, you went to
the principal's office. And here's what it
406
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:28.119
was. Oh no, it started
with the teacher would put you in front
407
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.359
of the class and they had paddles. They would swatch you. Then I
408
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.440
would get sent to the principal's office
and then I would take a shot.
409
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:40.480
They would be then to the coach's
office of football practice swat and home to
410
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:47.680
grab belt. And it was dad's
turn, because you know what, belt
411
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:57.039
got to eat too, and that
and that was growing up at a certain
412
00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:02.920
time now and and and this is
this is an interesting dynamic because there is
413
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:13.039
now loads of research that psychologists and
psychiatrists and social workers and experts and children
414
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:17.799
have come to say, don't do
that because it's ultimately damaging to your children.
415
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.039
And I will say I am damaged
because of a lot of the things
416
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:27.279
that happened to me as a child
abuse wise. At the same time,
417
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.519
I was also really well mannered.
Yeah. So at a certain point,
418
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.079
it's like, well, where do
we find the balance? You know,
419
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.720
It's like, Okay, you can
deal with a little bit of childhood trauma
420
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:39.599
that will carry over into your adult
years, but at the same time,
421
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.519
I want you to sit down and
shut up on occasion, Yeah, I
422
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.839
mean, but that's also I mean, we also called abuse whatever. Like
423
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:51.319
I was at was a department store
last night getting some stuff for Christmas,
424
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:54.559
and I watched this kid have an
utter meltdown over the fact that they were
425
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.319
going to put him in a timeout
when he got home, and I was
426
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.319
like, man, I would have
old for a time out kid. I
427
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.559
remember going to uh. I remember
going to a kid's house one time and
428
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.960
he got in trouble and his parents
said, you go sit in the corner,
429
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:12.360
you go time out, and I'm
like, time out. Yeah,
430
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.400
the only, the only reason,
the only, my only reference to time
431
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:21.280
out was when my mom would tag
in my dad. Yeah yeah. My
432
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:22.519
mom would get winded and she was
like, yeah, yeah, time out.
433
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:28.199
And I hate to say this,
but I'm going to say it because
434
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.880
it's an old man phrase. But
in my day, a time out wasn't
435
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:35.360
for the kids, it was for
the it was for the adults. Yeah.
436
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.280
My dad's time out was he had
to go smoke a Carlton and then
437
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:44.320
come back and finish the top turns
out Carlton's and are not you know,
438
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:51.159
they're not just for enjoyment, they
also give you energy. I'm gonna smoke
439
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.920
this rhythm gonna smoke your ass.
Weird. It's a weird thing to say
440
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:59.880
that. Let me throw this out
there if if you happen to be a
441
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.159
teacher and you need to blow off
some steam, I have the perfect time
442
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:08.559
and place for you to do so
in your own safe space, and that
443
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:15.719
is at our Treehouse Podcast Christmas road
Show at Shaker Ten's on Saturday this Saturday,
444
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.559
December ninth, four to seven pm. So that means you can come
445
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:24.000
hang out with us, have a
good time, you can possibly enjoy the
446
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:30.840
roast of me, and that's after
the actual taping of the show, and
447
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.639
some drinks will be had. There's
food there, we'll have some merch scheduled
448
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.119
to appear. In addition to the
three of us, will be Jerry Caldwell,
449
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:43.159
Everett Newton is kind of a maybe
depending on his health. And then
450
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:45.960
also Anadhara is going to be there
and where it is. She's going to
451
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.800
be partaking in some roasting, which
I'm mildly afraid of because she can be
452
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:55.800
vicious like a drunk chihwaba when she
wants to be. And so it's going
453
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:59.039
to be a great time. So
as a teacher can come bl off some
454
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:00.639
steam in your own safe space,
so you can say and do pretty much
455
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.880
whatever you want. I think Shaker
Tins may require you to wear pants,
456
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.000
but I'm not certain, So don't
don't hold you know, don't hold it
457
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:12.079
against me. Yeah, that's Saturday
at Shaker Tins four to seven, and
458
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.840
you can bring you can bring a
toy for a special needs child that will
459
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.880
have up that you can see the
type of toys that they need at the
460
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.039
Warren Center. Yeah. I was
just saying, I think the whole ax
461
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.760
ax throwing phenomenon was based on a
teacher's idea. It's like, how do
462
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:31.320
how do I kill my students without
killing my students axe throwing? Because it's
463
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:36.719
the only thing I've ever seen where
they serve alcohol and let you hold an
464
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.360
axe. Like I've never like that. I've never seen those two things go
465
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.440
well. But yeah, I think
if I was the parent of a child
466
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:46.320
that brought home the permission slip for
the school trip to go to the ax
467
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:52.239
throwing place, I'd be like,
Okay, whatever happened to the Museum of
468
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:59.119
Natural History or you know, I'm
ax. Yeah, it's I'm axe,
469
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:04.239
That's exactly I don't I don't know
if third grade is appropriate to go to
470
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:12.960
the place called the chop house,
I should be signing this. Some parents
471
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:21.880
are like, yeah, take your
brother too. Here's my wife. What
472
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:36.280
happened to just losing them on the
field trip. It's a another kid lost
473
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:46.440
to night at ten. It's a
real pandemic. We got here and not
474
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:51.079
everyone knows this. But that's why
they had to institute the policy of permission
475
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.239
slips, because it wasn't so much
a permission slip to go on the trip.
476
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:58.599
It was a permission for the teachers
to lose your child. Something's got
477
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:05.159
to go in the back of a
milk carton otherwise it's just a bunch of
478
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:15.559
lights. Man. I'm glad it's
glad it's ramping up to the Christmas season
479
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:21.719
because I'm a feeling by New Year's
we're all gonna be in hell. Oh
480
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:25.360
man, I love it. Inside
the Treehouse mention it again. Shakerton's Saturday
481
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:31.000
four to seven pm. Bring a
new unwrapped toy for a disabled child or
482
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:34.320
special needs. I should say some
are disabled, some special needs. It
483
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.800
kind of runs a gamut. Earth
to age three and the roast of me
484
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:43.480
will have some fun there and a
live taping of this yere treehouse so you
485
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:50.360
can see all the hell inducing in
person with alcohol in the treehouse. We'll
486
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:50.920
see you there
