Episode 69: Goodbye Joel, Hello Katt Williams

WEBVTT

1
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:33.679
Welcome inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel
Maley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma.

2
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.759
This is normally the portion of the
show at the beginning where we intro

3
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.679
things and say it's time to leave
your worries outside and join us here in

4
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:46.520
the treehouse. And you can still
do that, but sometimes things happen in

5
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:52.000
our lives that we'll kind of bleed
into the treehouse some and that's okay,

6
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.280
that's part of life. And what
I'm talking about is we were supposed to

7
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:06.040
record this episode yesterday, but life
took a bit of a turn because we

8
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:12.519
had to put down our boy Joel
yesterday. And actually I need to amend

9
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:19.599
that we got to h yeah,
because I know people, and I've had

10
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.640
this experience in my life before where
you didn't have the opportunity to be there,

11
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:30.640
you know, at the end.
So while we're sad, we're also

12
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:40.480
really grateful. And I also need
you guys to help distract me at this

13
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.400
point. Thank Kat Williams for going
off the crazy train talking about that,

14
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.760
because man, you talk about a
great distraction, something to get you thinking

15
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.840
about something else. It ever hurts
go, It never hurts to go with

16
00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.719
not only stupid, but crazy crazy. You can really fill your brain very

17
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.000
very quickly, right, Trey,
Oh yeah, yeah, it lives rent

18
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:20.400
free in mine. So we'll get
to the Kat Williams going Scorched Earth on

19
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:30.360
Shannon Sharp's show in just a little
bit. But fourteen years we had Joel.

20
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:37.599
Terry got to meet him first.
I met him a little while after

21
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:45.159
that. She met him at a
at a now defunct Rescued Group adoption event.

22
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.639
So we got Joel. They suspected
that he was like one and a

23
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.199
half maybe two years old when Tara
first met him, and we had him

24
00:02:53.240 --> 00:03:00.120
for fourteen years, So that means
that dude kicked it for sixteen years on

25
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:07.439
this planet. Yeah. And what
was truly amazing to me and Tara was

26
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.120
the last two weeks we weren't home, all of our animals were. We're

27
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.520
here at our house on Saint John
while we were doing a Christmas you know,

28
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.199
vacation, right. We went to
Seattle. We went to Levenworth,

29
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.439
Washington, which is the crazy Christmas
town and the middle of the Cascades,

30
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:38.159
and then back to Seattle and then
flying forever to get back here. And

31
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.520
we flew back. We got here
on the morning of the third, or

32
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.400
actually, sorry, afternoon of the
third, So we hadn't even been home

33
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.919
for two full days when we recognized
that something was wrong with Joel, because

34
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.560
before we left we had taken him
to the vet get him checked out because

35
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.039
he had a new lump, which
is not new for him because he's had

36
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.159
lots of lumps. It's kind of
like Trey. Do you remember what doctor

37
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.759
Fettner said the uh so weird to
say that the show used to have a

38
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:15.759
show proctologist, but we did.
Doctor Fettner used to say that he lived

39
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.879
long enough. What's that trait?
Technically he was a urologist. Oh he

40
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.399
was. I forgot he did the
front stuff because I only saw him doing

41
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.399
the back end. Yeah. I
mean he didn't mind sticking your finger,

42
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.000
his finger up there. But when
you guys saw this, oh no,

43
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:38.639
some of us experienced it first finger
lying on a m Luckily I was always

44
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.079
young enough to where uh he didn't
get access to me. And then he

45
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.040
retired. So I think he retired
thinking like I never got in on Dan.

46
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.879
But he had said years ago that
as a man, if you live

47
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.199
long enough, you will eventually get
prostate cancer. I don't know if that's

48
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.040
true or not. But he was
a doctor, and I was just kind

49
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:03.639
of deferring to him. So absolutely
true and so mm hmm, and I

50
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.319
think that's and that might it might
be the case if you you know,

51
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.720
if you live long enough, something, something's obviously going to get you in

52
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.639
the end. And as a human, it might be cancer, it might

53
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.800
be he just died just because you're
old. Whatever. But Joel, because

54
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.360
of his age, he had all
these lumps on him and whatever. He'd

55
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.759
get ano and Tara would find it
and we'd take him to the vet and

56
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.959
then uh, inevitably they'd come back
and say, it's fine, it's just

57
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.519
one of those what is it called
the leppoma. Yeah, it's it's just

58
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.519
it's just a fatty nodule. And
uh, luckily his weren't terrible. I've

59
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.120
seen them where they were like on
dogs, are like dragging around on the

60
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.639
floor. Nothing like that on him. But we'd always get him checked out.

61
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.600
We had him checked out before we
left because Tara found one doctor's like,

62
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.879
he's good, he's in great shape. Everything sounds wonderful. And that

63
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.680
was like a week or so before
we went out of town. But as

64
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.800
soon as we got back, we
noticed that something was different about him.

65
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.879
He was moving much slower than he
already was. I mean, like I

66
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.680
said, he was sixteen years old, so it's not like he was running

67
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.759
around like the flash and he hadn't
in years. But he was still mobile.

68
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.040
He's still moving around, just a
little bit slow. Oh we got

69
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:16.480
back, he was ultra slow.
Okay, yeah, And the pet sitters

70
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:21.639
that we had helping us, we're
giving us updates on the pets the whole

71
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.199
time, which is great. And
then they had told us at one point

72
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.480
that he was having some potty issues, like okay, that's a bit of

73
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:33.319
a red flag. And that continued
when we got back, so we made

74
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:39.639
an appointment at the vet. Tara
also noticed that out of nowhere, he

75
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.240
had a second chin, so a
new lump had sprung up in just the

76
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.160
two weeks. We were gone,
oh wow, So we take Jold of

77
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.160
the vet. And we also noticed
that when a dog lies down, Trey,

78
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.199
I mean you both have dogs,
you know, like they'll put those

79
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.199
front legs down and then he just
kind of just go down right onto the

80
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:02.079
floor. When he was doing it, it was taking him about about ten

81
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.639
to twelve seconds to actually go from
the starting position and actually making it all

82
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.560
the way down part of that ultra
slow thing. So the vet said,

83
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:18.439
yeah, he's super uncomfortable. The
stomach issue is an issue, but the

84
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:25.920
bigger issue is that she was pretty
sure that she found lymphoma, and the

85
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.920
thinking is that it was probably pretty
aggressive considering how this new lump felt like

86
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.199
lymphoma. Plus his limp nodes were
swollen and positions where they're not supposed to

87
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:42.639
be to where you know, he
wouldn't have had much longer. So I

88
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:48.800
say all that to say we you
know, of course we're tears and were

89
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.759
sad, but we're also grateful because, like I was saying before, some

90
00:07:53.800 --> 00:08:01.360
people don't ever get that opportunity like
we had that with one of our previous

91
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.240
dogs, Daphne. She went in
for trade knows this. She was tiny,

92
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.279
not as tiny as Trey's Daisy,
but pretty tiny. She was like

93
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.360
four and a half pounds and she
went in for dental surgery and she never

94
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.000
woke up, so we didn't We
didn't get the chance to say goodbye.

95
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.439
You know, other people have traumatic
things to happen on their pets and they

96
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.639
don't have a chance to say goodbye. It's just something that happens. So,

97
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:28.399
uh, while we were sad and
still are, we're also happy that

98
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:35.200
we got to have that for him
and with him. Yeah, because man,

99
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.559
he went out on a full belly. They brought him. Oh man,

100
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:46.600
the only thing missing was like a
cheese burger. But they, when

101
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.559
we had talked to the doctor,
made the decision and Okay, this is

102
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.519
what we all think needs to happen. So they brought a blanket in and

103
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.960
lay on it, and then they
brought in all the treats and then uh,

104
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.720
doctor Murria which a quick thank you
to canine cats and critters on Saint

105
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:03.200
John. So doctor Maria is like, no, no, no, we

106
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.679
got better treats than that. So
she goes and gets it eat better treats.

107
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.039
I just feel bad for the dogs
that they have and they're in boarding.

108
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.000
We're back, you know, in
the cages waiting for surgery. Like

109
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.960
where you going with the good stuff? Like I'm assuming she's trolling it off

110
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.200
the top shelf or they're going what
do I have to do? You don't

111
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:28.919
want to know, just walking by
a bunch of dogs that can't eat before

112
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.120
surgery, right, Yeah, it's
yeah, you know, Sparky, you

113
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:39.559
don't want to know what has to
happen to get those treats. So and

114
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:45.399
then she also game like this like
super awesome canned food, and and he

115
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:50.960
went to sleep and are you and
that's it? Yeah, it was.

116
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.240
It was a great dog. I
was. I was fortunate enough. I

117
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.840
got to meet him right after y'all
had gotten him. That was when you

118
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:03.120
were in that apartment over in Addison. We would watch the Bachelorrette our Bachelor.

119
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.519
Yeah, yeah, so we Tara
first met him and we were looking

120
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:16.559
at photos yesterday while drinking for obvious
reasons. And she first met him in

121
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.039
September of two thousand and nine at
the adoption event for this rescue group that's

122
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:28.080
now gone away, and we brought
him home in February of twenty ten.

123
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.919
So I mean he lived. He
lived a hell of a life. He,

124
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.000
like I told Tara's like, he
was an adventurer, maybe a reluctant

125
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.840
one at times because it was sometimes
us dragged in places, but you know,

126
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.440
he got to live a life that
I think only most dogs could dream

127
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:50.720
of because he came to us and
the situation he was in with that rescue

128
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.440
group was not very good, but
then he got to blossom in our home

129
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.039
and kind of became you know,
Tara's helper slash protector as anytime another dog

130
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.519
would walk by, he had to
yell at it and say you stay over

131
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.240
there. Yeah, people, he
was fine. He also hated squirrels,

132
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:13.360
but I think that's universal. Yeah, but uh yeah, he lived in

133
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.080
uh Lakewood, lower Greenville area.
He got to live in Uptown when it

134
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:24.480
was good, he got to live
in Addison. He had to live in

135
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:30.879
Irving, Las Colitas. You know, So the nice part, not the

136
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.799
MacArthur side. I was gonna say, you know, life has ups and

137
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.440
downs. It does, it does. And the good thing is his life

138
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:45.600
was mostly on an upward trajectory.
And then eventually, you know, he

139
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.000
was he was so resilient that he
made the move with us to Saint Thomas.

140
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.720
Yeah, and what he had to
endure for that because we throw ourselves,

141
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.200
our stuff and our and our animals
all in all in my jeep and

142
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:07.279
we drove from Dallas to Miami,
and then Joel took a separate flight from

143
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.720
Miami to Saint Thomas via Puerto Rico
because a hurricane decided to get in the

144
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:20.960
way, and then eventually made the
move here to Saint John near the end

145
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.840
of last year. So it's it
really is a cool thing to think that.

146
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.600
You know, at one point in
his life he was a city dog.

147
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.399
Then he at one point he was
living with us in our trailer next

148
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.799
to Lake Louisville and Frisco, and
then eventually he got to go to the

149
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.320
beach and poop on it. Yeah, that's why I moved to California.

150
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.279
I don't think that's special though.
Isn't that sort of a normal thing at

151
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.840
Venice Beach? I mean they they
frown on it when they want to do

152
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.320
it. Well, I'm sure they
frowned as they want to do it.

153
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.559
But there no one's stopping you.
No, I mean, there's too many

154
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.480
crazy there's a there's always the great
the lady who has the wedding dress that's

155
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.039
made out of trash. She kind
of distracts them. Oh well you can

156
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.960
while you poop. Hell. Now, there is a budding industry in San

157
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.279
Francisco where there are people that are
charging money to take you on tours through

158
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.720
the homeless and and you know,
watch the homeless and in their natural habitat

159
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.960
and defecating on the streets and doing
all these things. Twenty bucks by not

160
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.080
bad? Why are you paying a
guide for that? I've been to San

161
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.759
Franciso. You just walk around,
you'll find it. Yeah, just go

162
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.360
to the Tenderlone. You're good.
I'm guessing that they offer they feel like

163
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:41.399
like some security with it. So
it's like it's an urban safari, like

164
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.600
photo safari, looking at all the
different people and go oh okay. But

165
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.200
I'm wondering if you're paying twenty bucks
for this urban homeless safari, does that

166
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:56.480
also include the bucket of feed hilarious? I get to say whatever I want

And speaking of funny things happening,
cat Williams, Oh boy, what

188
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:18.480
the hell? I mean? What
the hell? Why? Uh? This

189
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.840
was was was? What was?
What was the catalyst? For him to

190
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:29.080
go off in the way that he
did in this interview, And a separate

191
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.879
question would be why Shannon Sharp and
also why do Shannon Sharp call his showed

192
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.840
the Shay Sheha Club Shaw. Okay, that's a horrible thank you, thank

193
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:44.960
you, Daniel O'Malley. Uh,
that was my before I even watched the

194
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:47.919
interview, I was like Club Shasha, Like, okay, first of all,

195
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.360
you or you're already named Shannon.
Let's just let's just let's just cut

196
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.960
our losses. Look, did you
immediately know that Sha Sha was a nickname

197
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.600
for him or something, because it
took me a little while to realize.

198
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:04.279
I thought he was like guest for
some lady who was known as But then

199
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:10.359
I realized, oh, I guess
that's a nickname because Shannon Sha Sharp,

200
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.400
so she is like okay, oh, I just thought it was a nickname

201
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.440
for Shannon, just but the Shannon
Sharp. Okay, I guess it's the

202
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:23.559
sh s h Okay, all right, we're not even sure to answer your

203
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:29.119
other question, why he was I
I did not had never heard of Club

204
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:34.039
Shay Sheha. But obviously it's a
thing because one of the reasons that brought

205
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:41.759
him there was he evidently is interviewed, Ricky Smiley, Cedric entertained or I

206
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.200
forgot, but some of these guys
he's he's been talking to. And so

207
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:52.599
part of this is Kat Williams coming
in saying, you know, I'm set

208
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.559
the record straight on some of this
stuff, gotcha. Yeah, Yeah,

209
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.559
Because look, I mean I've I've
followed comedy, you know, from my

210
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:06.000
teenage year, like, like from
when I was like eleven or twelve.

211
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.640
I've followed comedy when I first started
watching you know, George Carlin and Pryor

212
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:14.079
and Eddie Murphy and honest at Sindbad
If it was one of my favorites.

213
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.720
Hey, one of my favorite specials. One time I watched him Allen and

214
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.039
was on a Showtime special when I
was like twelve or thirteen. I laughed

215
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:25.160
so hard that it made me sick. So I love stand up comedy,

216
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.240
and I'm familiar with Kat Williams,
and I'm familiar with Ricky Smiley and Cedric

217
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.039
the entertainer Kevin Hart obviously everyone's familiar
with. Yeah, But I like most

218
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.759
things, you don't realize all the
drama that's happening behind the scenes because most

219
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.559
most of what we see is just
the jokes, we don't know all the

220
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.920
drama going on behind the scenes,
and well now we now we know there's

221
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:51.519
a lot of stuff going on we
didn't know about. Yeah, so he

222
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:55.599
Okay, so he's been beefing with
Kevin Hart forever, but that's been a

223
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.480
so that wasn't a new thing.
And then the Ricky Smiley thing was kind

224
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.440
of an old then going back to
I think Soul Plane, I think is

225
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:07.039
what it was, but him going
after aris drama on the set of Soul

226
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.720
Plane. Yeah, you know,
you can't have that many egos in one

227
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:17.079
room and something not happen, which
is why I would agree with that.

228
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.160
And then so the new one with
me like I didn't know about the cedric

229
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.640
the entertainer thing, and I was
like, I knew the joke, but

230
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.039
I hadn't seen This is when back
in nineteen ninety eight when Kat was Kat

231
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.799
Williams was known as Cat in the
Hat before he got a cease and desist

232
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:38.119
from Disney. But he he and
then I saw the preview joke and I

233
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.440
was like, oh yeah, and
then you put two and two together and

234
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.839
like, oh yeah, that's he
blatantly ripped that off. So I understand

235
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:51.000
that thing, but everybody else like
he went after everybody like. There was

236
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:56.000
an article in Vulture and the headline
nails it, Kat Williams scorches the earth

237
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:03.000
and every comedian on it. Yeah, except for apparently he knows every comic

238
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.319
in the works, and all the
young comics he's a fan of, So

239
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:17.279
to Kat, thank you. But
all the older black comedians they've all stolen

240
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:22.400
from him, gotcha. So yeah, So in this article it kind of

241
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.680
encapsulates this pretty well. They say. Remember The Last Dance, the must

242
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.200
watch documentary event of early twenty twenty, which Michael Jordan, reflecting on his

243
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.000
final NBA Championship campaign and legacy,
captivated the world by finally cutting loose on

244
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.039
his former teammates, rivals, and
the headlines that dogging throughout his career.

245
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.960
Well, imagine if The Last Dance
consisted solely of one long interview, switched

246
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:47.559
focus from basketball to stand up comedy, and swapped out Jordan for comedy legend

247
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:52.400
Kat Williams. On January third,
the Internet was stopped in its tracks by

248
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.119
precisely this, as Williams sat down
for a nearly three hour interview with ESPN

249
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:06.039
First Take correspondent Shannon Sharp on his
podcas cast Club Sha Shape. And I

250
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.079
even saw a joke someone had posted
that said it's one of those. It's

251
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.720
like Shannon Sharp basically says Kat Williams, welcome to Club Sha Shape, and

252
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.160
then it just him ranting for the
next three hours, just going off,

253
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.240
just off the and just basically Shanon. I think there was a genuine I

254
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:26.319
think there was a genuine moment where
they discussed Shannon Sharp's kognak for about That's

255
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.160
not a genuine moment, that's a
plug. Yeah, He's like this is

256
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.160
this is nice? Is this doesn't
burn? Like Okay, thanks Cat,

257
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.880
and then he just proceeds to just
keep drinking it like and then you know

258
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.640
he's then he then he starts and
like I don't even think Shannon gets to

259
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.640
ask a question for most of it. I think you didn't have to.

260
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.839
It's the easiest three hour interview,
and I'm like, I couldn't. I

261
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.640
wish I had the time to watch
all of it. I just I had

262
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.079
to kind of pick and choose.
But honestly, he I give him credit

263
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:07.440
because he's it sounds funny, but
he's a better interviewer than I thought.

264
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.559
Because you have to be a good
interview, to know, shut the f

265
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.480
up and you have got gold just
shut up. And and really what all

266
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.559
he does is occasionally he just spurs
him on a little bit, talks about

267
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:21.200
it. Man, you're gonna get
it. You're gonna get it, Like

268
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:22.359
like three times he goes, you
can get his canceled every else, and

269
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.920
that just fuels him more. It
is he is brilliant in this interview and

270
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.480
not saying anything. Yeah, I
think that right there, That right there,

271
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.680
to me is one of the hallmarks
of a great broadcaster. And I

272
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.200
don't necessarily want to put that on
him at this point because of the first

273
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:44.799
take nonsense, which I absolutely loathe, but he did nail that tray.

274
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.799
You're right, because one of the
hallmarks of a great broadcaster is when to

275
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:52.039
shut up and then just let the
action happen. I don't I think you

276
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.799
guys are giving Shin Sharp a little
too much credit. I think what he

277
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.559
was like, so let me ask
you this question, Kat, and like

278
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.400
he just starts and he's like,
just he asked the first question, and

279
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.839
that was it. If you look
at Shannon Sharp's face, his face is

280
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.240
like, what the f is happening? And you think do you think it

281
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.240
was more accidental than intentional? Yeah, because that's his face for the next

282
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:21.319
forty minutes. I was like,
this man won't shut up. And then

283
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.400
he tries to ask a question again
and he's like you know what, And

284
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.960
that's when you can see like I
give up. Like that's when Sharp's like,

285
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:32.759
I'm gonna keep them mouth shut because
he's not gonna answer any He came

286
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:34.960
in with a three hour plan.
Look, Cat Williams came in and was

287
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:41.039
like, this is gonna take two
hours and forty six minutes, and I'm

288
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:42.680
with, like, I'm not ready
to say Shannon Sharp is Sharp is a

289
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:48.640
great broadcaster, but it would be
most people's tendency, especially when you see

290
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.160
it going off the rails to try
and especially most journalists, they're gonna try

291
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.519
to get you back on track.
Most people, most don't love the chaos

292
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.880
that was gonna ensue. But he
just let it happen. And yeah,

293
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.000
and I'm gonna guess he had a
producer in his ear going shut up just

294
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.079
when he's you know, Kat gets
his dates mixed up at one point for

295
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:12.559
you know, calling such with the
entertainer out saying you know, I did

296
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.319
this joke then, and then he
still and did it on The Kings of

297
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.039
Comedy. The producer is behind,
like his mike behind him, and it's

298
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.279
like, you know, you said
these dates, but this is when the

299
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:25.559
joke aired, and this is when
the King's of Comedy tour happened, So

300
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:27.240
how did that? And then he
had to go back and it was another

301
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:32.920
like five minute explanation for why he
got his timeline off, and I'm like,

302
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:36.559
okay, but he is right.
But here's the weird thing, and

303
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:40.880
it's in the comedy circle. Other
comics will do another comics joke when they're

304
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.839
not working on the same show together
because they write together, they have the

305
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.200
same joke they or they both helped
write that joke. If you'll hear like

306
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.480
Kat Williams mentions Mark Curry multiple times
in that interview where he's like, you

307
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.640
know, Mark helped me punch up
this joke. Mark helped me punch up

308
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:57.960
this joke. So I wouldn't be
surprised if Mark is also doing that joke

309
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:02.519
when he's on tour. So when
you hear somebody like, oh, he's

310
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:03.680
stole my joke, I'm like wow, I mean that's got to be a

311
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.680
blatant call out and then you know, again, like I said, I

312
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.160
saw it, I'm like, okay, well, and my understanding was,

313
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.480
well maybe back then they were friends, and it's like, okay, you

314
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:15.920
do that joke, but it's the
spaceship. That's the only thing that's different

315
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.440
in the joke is he's talking about
black people. Like if white people go

316
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.039
to the moon and like to colonize
the moon, black people are coming with

317
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:25.480
them, And this is how they
would go to the moon, is they

318
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.759
would they would they would fly the
space shuttle like it was the seventy two

319
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:32.720
cutlass. That's the joke, And
if you look at Cat's joke, it's

320
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:36.079
the kind of the same thing.
It's like just having a convertible Cadillac that

321
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:40.480
cuts out on you and you still
keep pimping while you're while you're popping the

322
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:44.839
clutch. So it's not exact,
but it's similar enough where yeah, it's

323
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.920
it's yeah. So all the text
of thing is, oh, so I

324
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.960
was gonna say that. There's also
a thing in comedy called parallel thought where

325
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.839
you can oh yeah. That is
a very common thing and entertainment in general,

326
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:57.440
because it happens with radio stuff and
podcasting all the time as well.

327
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.359
Yeah, so you can you can
play if you have the if you have

328
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:03.759
the bit, or just play any
of the interview. But yeah, so

329
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.519
there is probably thought so no,
no, no, I don't know if

330
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:10.079
you had that thing like, but
there is parallel thought, so you can

331
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:11.559
see like how you go, Okay, well maybe they thought of it,

332
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.640
but it's almost too cool when you
watched the two and I did not pull

333
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.319
the clips because a neither one of
them are great audio because they're old.

334
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:26.519
But and especially yes, he tweaks
the joke a little bit where it's different

335
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:29.599
and you know, Rush said it's
a spaceship, not an old car or

336
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:33.400
whatever. But the delivery, the
manner isn't how he does it. It

337
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.480
is a he stole it from Kat
Williams. You're talking about Cedric Entertainer.

338
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:42.799
So let's let's play a couple of
these clips from the interview on Club Kat

339
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:51.880
Williams going off on on Cedric Entertainer
stealing his joke and told you when you

340
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.519
asked him, did you steal Cat
Williams joke? He said, and don't

341
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:57.799
line up? How it don't line
up? He thought that I was just

342
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:03.319
a no name comedian and that he
could take this joke and nobody would know.

343
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:10.440
The issue was that I had already
done this particular joke on BT's Comic

344
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:15.119
View twice. It had done so
well on BT's Comic View that they had

345
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.640
made it part of the commercial.
So part of the commercial of make sure

346
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.799
you tune in the BET was you
seeing me doing this joke. So this

347
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.319
is not just a random joke.
This is my very best joke, and

348
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:32.960
it's my last joke, and it's
my closing joke. Okay, yeah,

349
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.960
Look, I'm not a professional thief
by any measure, but if I were,

350
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.839
I would make sure not to steal
the most obvious thing. Well,

351
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.920
I mean, he is right,
So there's again another rule in comedy is

352
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:52.960
first the TV wins, So theoretically
Kat won even if the said had written

353
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.400
it at the same time. Cat
had it on BET. Seid got it

354
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:03.640
on Kings of Comedy, So it's
who gets the most the most. So

355
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.319
if you ask people that that's a
that's a centric the entertainer joke, and

356
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.119
a lot of people back then were
accusing Cat of stealing it. And then

357
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:14.079
when he's like the timeline that said
thing was like the timeline doesn't add up.

358
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:15.880
Well, then you look, if
you want the timeline, it's nineteen

359
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.759
ninety eight versus two thousand and one
or two thousand and two. So he

360
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.519
won. But it is very common
for like Carlo Smincia is known for this.

361
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:27.200
He would be like, let's go
to let's go to a club and

362
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:32.599
let's find something that a younger comic
that doesn't get TV is doing, and

363
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:34.640
then he would do the joke on
TV and take credit for it. Wouldn't

364
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:40.160
that I mean, wouldn't that why
everyone hated Dane Cook. I think everybody

365
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:45.279
hated Dane Cook because like the wasn't
he accused of that a lot? Yes,

366
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:51.200
he was accused of stealing. I
think Luisy K's bit yeah, like

367
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:56.400
I think it was a first album
that he stole almost verbhetim to where when

368
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:02.559
Dane's album went platinum, Luisy K
sent out to thank you, So the

369
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:04.480
message was thank you. I want
to thank Dame Cook for making my album

370
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:11.119
number one because it was all of
his material. So yeah, you know,

371
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:12.519
and people go, you have to
understand, go back to Robin Williams.

372
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:18.160
Robin Williams, everybody's this beloved character
from TV, This beloved actor was

373
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.000
also a notorious joke thief, to
the point where he would be in his

374
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.759
car outside the comedy store until it
was two minutes to go on stage because

375
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.839
comics inside wanted to beat him up
because he would do all of their stuff,

376
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:30.839
like everybody's trying to get ready to
do the tonight show, and he

377
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.799
would. Johnny loved him, so
he would go on and do all this

378
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.000
stuff. His manager would stand in
the hallway with a checkbook and go,

379
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.319
okay, well, how many jokes
did you do of yours? Well he

380
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.200
did five mins seventy five hundred,
good, and just cut a check.

381
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.119
So, I mean you have to
understand. It goes back a long way.

382
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:51.119
That's why for me, I'm on
such a smaller scale. I don't

383
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:52.960
watch anybody that goes on before me
and Dan. I think you even know

384
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:55.799
this, Like I'll sit in the
green room and talk with it, like

385
00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:57.480
before somebody's up, and if the
server comes in, I'm like, how

386
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.359
much time to so and so have. I don't want to watch anything that

387
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.799
anybody else does because I don't want
to get accused of like if that's my

388
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.240
bit, man, No, it
can't be, because I never saw it.

389
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:10.960
Yeah, here's here's some more of
Kat Williams on Cedric the Entertainer,

390
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.440
Him and Steven already apologized for me, So I gave him a pass for

391
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:22.119
that decade, and the Stevie's talking
about it is Steve Barby. Why would

392
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.839
you sit here and be like I
talked to I saw Cat thirty times and

393
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:34.160
Cat didn't do as I stand before
you, Shannon. I would to bust

394
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:41.440
Cedric's stomach. There was nothing that
would have kept me from one of these

395
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.319
in that patch right there, Like, are you kidding me? Why would

396
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.079
you downplay me like that? Why
did I give you a pass if you

397
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:53.240
were just gonna lie? Cedric sitting
here telling you why he ain't a movie

398
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.400
star. He already looked like a
wal risk. You didn't say nothing.

399
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.480
He can't even get his arms off
his stomach sitting over. Wow, I'm

400
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:06.440
not. It's a situation. We
never wrote anything. Remember when Sed of

401
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.119
the Entertainer starts, he's supposed to
be singing, dancing and telling jokes.

402
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.119
That's why he's called the entertainer.
We found out he can't sing, can't

403
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:18.799
dance, and doesn't he did four
comedy specials. They're so bad, Shannon,

404
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.920
they're not available on Netflix or to
B. Can I say that again

405
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:29.359
for the audience, they're so bad
that they're not available on Netflix or to

406
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.000
B. For the record, I
don't know what is available on to B.

407
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:37.880
I think pretty much between two BE, Between two B and Pluto,

408
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:42.799
you can find just about anything.
It is where it is where if you

409
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:48.000
want to know where the vast of
all the entertainment made that you you've never

410
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.599
heard of, never seen, Yeah, it's on one of those two.

411
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.559
So when you say Pluto, is
that is that like a TV app?

412
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.039
Or is it it's there? There's
two like kind of free TV that I

413
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:07.759
know of, but at the television
because either way, no one's going to

414
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.079
see it. Right, lost in
space that's what the generals would be called.

415
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.319
But yeah, so and Steve Harry
is another one that he goes after

416
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:27.880
some of that come on the truth. Don't need motivation. I'm just saying,

417
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.400
I can't let these dudes lie.
This is like Steve Harvey telling people

418
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:35.279
he used to be homeless. That's
my story, that's not his story.

419
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:38.559
Steve Harvey wasn't never homeless. When
he Mark Curry was touring with him twenty

420
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:44.559
five years ago, he was making
three thousand dollars a show in cash and

421
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:49.839
doing five shows a week. They
just tell the stories. This my thanks

422
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.960
to my wife. I'm where I
am. You said that about the first

423
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:55.559
wife. You forget that, you
told us it was heard. Then you

424
00:32:55.599 --> 00:33:00.839
went and married somebody else that think
like a man, Like are you talking

425
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:06.799
about they just yeah? I mean
you got to give him credit, like

426
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:10.480
he the detail that he has in
his crazy mind, Like it's still,

427
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.359
uh, there are people that can
vouch for the fact that Steve Harvey.

428
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:17.559
I don't know if he was homeless
necessarily, but he was broke. There

429
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:22.720
was a furniture store, a family
that own family owned a furniture store,

430
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.799
and they helped him out, Like
they got him his first like he started

431
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:29.240
his own cleaning business and they gave
him his first opportunity to clean up apart.

432
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:34.279
So was the blind side to rip
off of Steve Harvey's story? I

433
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:37.880
mean, well, yeah, I
mean it's there's a lot of stories like

434
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:39.799
this, like Tiffany Hattish lived in
her car and things like this, Like

435
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:43.759
there's a lot of and I don't
know how much to that, you know

436
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:45.359
there is. I was in LA
for eleven years. I never saw anybody

437
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.559
living in a car, I can
just say that. I mean, and

438
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:51.759
if they did, they didn't tell
you, and they were sure, sure

439
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:53.680
as hell, weren't going to go
on a radio show like this and go

440
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:59.240
I live in a car right now, Like nobody's nobody's doing that. But

441
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:01.319
that might be the comedian that I
want to see more so than the one

442
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.799
that lives in a mansion. Yeah, I mean, you know, I

443
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:08.920
mean sure, yeah, I agree
the struggle. I mean, and there

444
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:13.400
are a lot of great comics in
LA that don't get the notoriety that they

445
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.639
should because they aren't a household name. But he does go after Steven,

446
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.480
But Steve had a very I don't
know if it's a similar story, but

447
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.880
I think Kat was homeless at thirteen, Like he left his house at twelve

448
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:29.800
or thirteen and was living in Miami
at one point, And so I think

449
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:31.519
that's what the story that I don't
think that's the story that Steve told.

450
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:37.119
I think Steve was older when he
became homeless. But you know who knows,

451
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:39.239
I mean, cant. I had
the opportunity a few times to meet

452
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:43.880
him, and he's a very interesting
individual. Like when in that interview that

453
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:49.639
necklace that he's wearing that looks like
a little with the steering ball on the

454
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:53.880
on a boat, like on a
ship, like a pirate ship. That's

455
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:57.400
what he was wearing when I met
One of the first times I met him,

456
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.400
and I saw him at the comedy
store and he was in he had

457
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.639
a sailor's hat on. Every bit
of jewelry that he owned was on his

458
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:07.760
fingers and his necklace and without and
all of it. And he was just

459
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.320
staring at the House of Blues.
And I walked on to the path and

460
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.880
he's just on the patio by himself
and just with a glass of cognac.

461
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:16.760
And I walked past him and go, are you doing cat? And he

462
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:20.840
goes, hey, man, and
he's just staring. He doesn't make eye

463
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.599
contact with me. Go you're good, yeah, And I was like,

464
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:25.719
and I did what everybody else did. We went all right, and then

465
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:30.760
just went in like nobody asks like
why are you were just staring straight across

466
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.920
the street. And then he had
two bodyguards with him that had They weren't

467
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:37.480
bodyguards. There were just big fat
dudes that had the black shirt with a

468
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:42.639
white security And then when he took
off, he's fast not as fast as

469
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:44.840
he said he was on the show, but he's fast. He went off

470
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:47.480
walking and they couldn't keep up with
him. We're like, what is happening

471
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:52.239
right now? I would have imagine
that him standing on that balcony at the

472
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:58.159
House of Blues looking off into the
distance. He wasn't not thinking about anything.

473
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.679
I think he was plotting what he
was going to say in this interview

474
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:07.800
all those years ago. That was
that was the That was the Bursieoning era

475
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:12.760
of him going to Sports Earth on
Steve Harvey, Cedric, the entertainer,

476
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:17.920
Kevin Hart, Ricky Smiley after Ludacrous, Like, who does that? Ludicrous

477
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.719
is one of the he said about
Ludicrous. He said that he joined the

478
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:27.920
Illuminati. Yeah, that's how they
got They offered him a you know,

479
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:30.559
Kat turned it down, but they
basically said, you know, you'll get

480
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:37.639
a twenty movie two hundred million dollars
deal. So in this interview, Kat

481
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:43.760
Williams alludes to or straight up says
that the Illuminati is responsible for the Fast

482
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:45.960
and Furious franchise. No, no, no, see now you're being ridiculous.

483
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:52.039
He's saying the Illuminati is responsible for
Ludacrous being a movie or making him

484
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:58.239
famous, but they didn't. They
didn't create the Fast and Furious Vehicle pardon

485
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.679
the pun. Yeah, as an
Illuminati project. I mean, now you're

486
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:12.480
talking crazy. I mean he says
like I'm just saying like that's how insane

487
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:14.920
what he was saying, like if
you say anything outside of that, like

488
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:20.079
you will sound crazy. Like he's
just but specifically after the only dude know

489
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.920
that he could go after, was
like, I guess it's because they're the

490
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:25.800
same height. I don't know what
it is, they're legitimately like five five.

491
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:28.920
Well, I mean he's not going
to say that about Paul Walker,

492
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.119
saying that Paul Walker took his role. No, it's only blind people like

493
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:36.480
to get because he became that star
and he had to have sold his soul

494
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:42.599
to the Illuminatia. Ludacris isn't talented. And then Ludacris released a disc track

495
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:45.800
which is really good. Yeah,
I was really impressed with it. It

496
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:51.639
was fantastic. And then he calls
his wife ugly like he calls Ludacris's wife,

497
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:59.440
No, Ludacris's wife. I don't
know if you've seen Ludacris's wife smoke

498
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:04.440
show, Uh, like utter smoke
show. She's gorgeous. One of the

499
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:10.760
things that he implies in the Illuminati
deal, hm, is that basically,

500
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:17.159
if they they give you a light
skinned woman to be your wife who is

501
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:20.199
not going to go to the media
and not going to talk and not do

502
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:28.840
anything. Yeah, that just sounds
like scientology. Yeah, but they give

503
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.119
you. But here's the difference with
the scientology gives you multiple lives. So,

504
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:44.639
uh, the Illuminati still traditional values. That's what it is. According

505
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:51.679
to him, the Illuminati sings both
ways. Yes, you're listening to the

506
00:38:51.719 --> 00:39:00.840
Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse
on air dot com. Let's get Daniel

507
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.920
Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration
into the Treehouse now. The phone number

508
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:08.280
for your free roof inspection eight three
three cook DFW. Whether you're needing an

509
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:13.440
entire roof replaced or you're just needing
some repair or wondering, hey, how's

510
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:16.360
that roof doing, give Daniel Cook
a call. Daniel was curious about this

511
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:20.960
before. We talked about downtime.
And I know you and your wife travel

512
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:22.679
and my wife and I do as
well. And we went out of town

513
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:27.360
for the holidays and came back and
we had one of those overnight flights,

514
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.400
and we're trying to sleep with as
much as you and your wife travel,

515
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.639
Are you guys able to actually sleep
on a plane or is that next to

516
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:39.599
them? Possible sleep does occur,
but usually is after sitting at the bar

517
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:46.599
for several hours before the flight.
That does help as a good prescription.

518
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:50.519
There's a fine level there, though, So it's like, you know,

519
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:52.480
want, I don't want to be
too intoxicated that I can't walk on the

520
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.599
plane and look sensible, because now
they're getting where they'll throw you off the

521
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.159
plane if you look a little bit
too much intoxicated. Mh. You have

522
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:04.360
to you have to know exactly where
you're at at all times with your level

523
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:08.760
of intoxication. But yeah, if
you get that perfect mix of wharrior just

524
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:12.920
on the edge of the cliff and
you're not falling off, and as soon

525
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:15.400
as you get in the plane and
the engines start humming, it's like a

526
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:19.199
perfect mix to put you to put
you down for a little bit. I

527
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:21.519
like, yeah, yeah, exactly
that, to put you down for just

528
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.239
a little bit. Because you're right, it is a very fine line between

529
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:27.920
being able to fall asleep on the
plane for a little bit and ending up

530
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.719
on the news because you punched a
flight attendant. So you just want to

531
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:34.039
make sure, like Daniel said,
you make sure you toe that line properly.

532
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:36.840
That doesn't have a whole lot to
do with roofing, but keep in

533
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:39.480
mind it does tell you that Daniel's
responsible and he knows where his line is.

534
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:43.920
He's going to make sure everything is
good with your roof and that,

535
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:46.119
and therefore you'll be able to sleep
comfortably. So give them a call for

536
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:51.519
that free roof inspection eight three three
cook d FW or the website cook DFW

537
00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:53.679
dot com. Let's get Jacqueline from
Brooks Plumbing into the tree house now.

538
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:58.639
She sent a very interesting story that
we're going to discuss here, and for

539
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:00.920
any and all of your plumbing ones
needs, you need to give her a

540
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.119
call to one fourth three six eight
thirty eight thirty eight. So the story

541
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:07.360
you sent me, Jaqueline right before
New Year's was the Princeton Fire Department called

542
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:14.920
out to Clark Middle School because firefighters
were having to rescue construction workers who got

543
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:19.039
pulled into a trench or a sinkhole
or something when the soil gave way.

544
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:23.920
What happened there, so they were
tunneling they had created an interior slab penetration,

545
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:29.800
so they broke through the concrete and
they were excavating dirt out from underneath

546
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:35.360
that slab penetration so that they could
make plumbing repairs underneath the foundation. It

547
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.480
could have they could have been making
repair, they could have been doing a

548
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.039
replacement. But there's actually a photo
that we shared on our Facebook that I

549
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:45.119
tagged the treehouse in where you can
see this huge open hole and you can

550
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:49.039
see all the dirt on top of
the concrete. You know that's still in

551
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.920
place. But ultimately what happens is
is when you dig tunnels and trenches,

552
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:58.480
specifically tunnels, if they're not dug
correctly with shoring by the right people who

553
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:02.039
have the experience, there's all always
the chance that they may collapse with the

554
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:07.440
individuals inside. And so it's and
it doesn't even matter even if you shore

555
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:12.599
it. Shoring should be one hundred
percent. That there's always that outlying factor

556
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:17.039
where something may happen. But that
is one of the things that drives up

557
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:22.599
the cost of plumbing. Be it
us, my competitor's commercial residential. We

558
00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:27.159
have to take out these massive insurance
policies because there is a risk of death

559
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.400
when you're doing these kind of jobs, and these kind of collapses do happen

560
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:35.679
bare minimum in the DFW at least
once or twice a year. Sometimes it's

561
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:38.199
commercial, sometimes it's residential. And
these guys that get in the tunnels get

562
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:42.440
in there every day knowing that if
it's not doug correctly, there's always a

563
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.840
chance something bad might happen. And
I know I've said this before. This

564
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:49.559
is why I will not put my
guys in other people's tunnels. This is

565
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:53.840
why we do it in house,
because we sit at work waiting every day

566
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:59.880
to hear when people come out of
the tunnel, because it's there's always a

567
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.159
chance, and that's very scary for
us, especially because my excavators have worked

568
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:06.840
with my dad, because we're a
family company since I was thirteen. So

569
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:08.840
that's uncle one, uncle Tooey.
You know, these are my guys.

570
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:14.000
It's not random excavators, it's not
random subcontractors. And so there's always that

571
00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.400
risk, and that's part of the
reason why plumbing can be so expensive,

572
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:20.719
because you've got this massive overhead and
there's a danger. It's kind of like

573
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:24.480
underwater welders. They have a short
lifetime expectancy and they're doing a dangerous job,

574
00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:28.320
and that's why they're so expensive.
That's one of the things that makes

575
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:31.559
contractors expensive is that there's always some
sort of a risk involved. But shout

576
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:36.280
out for sure to the Princeton Fire
Department. I think a few others joined

577
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:39.760
them in getting over their them.
Yeah, and the prior departments are getting

578
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:44.119
faster and faster at responding to those
because the last two that I've heard of

579
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:47.320
was the first two in a row
where they got the people out alive,

580
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:52.199
because typically they're not pulling out live
people there because it's all of the weight

581
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.119
of everything that collapses on you.
It's not that you suffocates that your body

582
00:43:55.159 --> 00:44:00.599
cannot expand the lungs to breathe,
and that's terrifying and that's not how I

583
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.079
want to go. No, definitely
not. And that's one of those things

584
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:07.400
you don't necessarily think about when it
comes to plumbing, because it's pretty rare

585
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:12.880
that in your house you'll need to
have someone tunneling at all. And usually

586
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:15.880
for residential stuff, you know problems
we have in our homes. It's a

587
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.199
supply line issue, it's it's some
sort of a hot water heater issue,

588
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:23.280
as opposed to having to call out
an excavation team. But those are things

589
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:29.280
that do sometimes happen, and you
need the best plumbers possible, and not

590
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:31.280
only that, but the plumbers that
also work with the best to make sure

591
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:37.079
your home is safe and the actual
workers are safe, which is obviously of

604
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:43.480
to uh thank Katwilliams for the mugs
needed distraction today and uh also you guys

605
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:47.559
want to thank you as well for
the distraction. There's one thing I've I've

606
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:55.360
learned throughout my years is that crazy
can can at least alleviate sadness for it

607
00:45:55.480 --> 00:46:00.519
for a period of time. So
it works exactly like I said, it's

608
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:04.840
it's a good distraction. Now there's
always something, always been something special about

609
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:07.000
something bad was going on. We
got in the treehouse and it's like,

610
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.239
you know, you just kind of
escape your problems for a little bit.

611
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.400
What do you What do you do? What do you do when when they're

612
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:29.639
when they're crazy and sad? Oh
I think Trey calls her mom. Well

613
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:37.119
played, Sure, well played.
So that right there is actually Trey's also

614
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:40.719
red flag. Like he loves he
loves a good crazy girl. But if

615
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:44.760
it's sad and crazy at the same
time, that's too much like mama,

616
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:51.960
and he's got to go the other
direction. Yeah. Wow, Uh,

617
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.000
kudos to you for being able to
recognize, uh, those those those red

618
00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:00.760
flags. It's taking some time,
but I find on they figured it out.

619
00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:04.960
I'd also like to point out that
really, you know, only friends

620
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.960
like Trey and I are for you
know, over twenty years, can can

621
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:12.559
really get away with making it a
joke like that, because I'm pretty sure

622
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:14.400
if, like, if we had
just met, we were sitting at a

623
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:19.440
bar, he'd be punching me sencils
right now now. I think even if

624
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:21.400
I just met you had been like, all right, you don't really know

625
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:30.159
me, but that was well played, which Daniel, you know, it's

626
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:36.679
a I feel like I'd be remiss
though in all of this, because one

627
00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:40.519
of the reasons you, as we
talked about like at your roast after the

628
00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:47.119
Christmas Show and everything else, is
your robotic nature. And the biggest thing

629
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:54.199
that got you kind of the I
don't know, reputation for being robotic is

630
00:47:54.199 --> 00:48:00.400
your ability to get through the dog
poem without crying. Oh yes, look,

631
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:04.920
and and that is that is a
good example. And while when you

632
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.599
say that, I feel a twinge, I'm like, I'm not the robotic.

633
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:12.679
I've got emotions like like like like
other people do. But when it

634
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.800
comes to doing you know, the
dog pond that you couldn't get through or

635
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:17.639
Russ couldn't get through or whoever you
know, Dan Lush or j D whoever

636
00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:20.840
was on the show, they couldn't
get through it because they just get they

637
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:22.199
started crying. I was like,
I can give it to me. I'll

638
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:30.159
do it, gotcha. And I
think in psycha psychological or psych psychiatric circles

639
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:32.920
they call it disassociation, and I
think they frown upon it, but it's

640
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.360
it's worked in my favor sometimes,
and it gave you a you know,

641
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:44.000
kind of a little bit of a
feeling of superiority that you know, you

642
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:45.039
you were stronger than the rest of
us, and you know you kind of

643
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:50.159
look down a little bit at our
weakness for not being able to get through

644
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.679
it. I mean that's just because
I mean whatever software they put into the

645
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:58.239
cyborg that is Dania Malley uh didn't
allow for. But they're updating it,

646
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:00.719
like if you you'll see, like
he'll plug into the wall every now and

647
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:06.679
again an update and bold laugh and
smile. But it's actually still loading because

648
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:10.079
my internet here is not so good. I'm only at like forty eight percent,

649
00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:16.360
so when I plug in, it's
supposed to pick up where it's left

650
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:22.679
off. So I'm still I'm still
debugging and damn if you get in complete

651
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:35.960
updates. I think that's just what
I am, just a walking incomplete update.

652
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:39.480
Why you got to bring up the
dog poem? Man? That things

653
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:46.480
sad? Yes it is. It's
UH scarred many of us over the years.

654
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:52.079
M h Is that the email that
you sent me? You sent me

655
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:55.159
an email says, uh, it
had no subject line and I haven't opened

656
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:58.480
it yet. Is that what it
is? Did you send me the dog

657
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:01.519
poem? I did? Are you
trying to see if you can make me

658
00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:07.000
cry? I got a hundred bucks
says you can't get through the dog bomb

659
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:15.400
without getting emotional? Really? Mm
hmm? Okay, that's such an odd

660
00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:20.639
bet coming from the person who basically
coined me as a cyborg of uh and

661
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:23.639
having a lack of emotion. Yeah, you think you think I can't get

662
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:28.840
through it? And a hundred bucks
says, so I think this time it's

663
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:31.440
I don't think you can get through
it this time. I've got to give

664
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:35.639
you credit, Tray. I did
not see that coming. I I appreciate

665
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:38.400
the I don't know left turn there. I don't even know which way to

666
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:44.239
bet. I don't know and I
don't either, And honestly, this is

667
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:50.920
we're only like like twenty seven hours
from from when Tara and I said goodbye

668
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:54.280
to Joel. So I mean that's
that's it's still pretty fresh. Yeah,

669
00:50:54.360 --> 00:51:00.360
that's okay. I gotta I got
it the same day one time. And

670
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:01.559
and Dan, I know you're at
you're thinking it. Yes, you have

671
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:07.039
to use the music too. Oh
no, all right, that makes I

672
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:10.960
feel like you're hedging your bet.
Now I need to see if I even

673
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:23.360
have it. Hang on, h
that's a bumper. That's news. That's

674
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:37.360
not appropriate. That's my favorite mm
A tub situation. Hang on, are

675
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:40.639
you ready to have the scared out
of you? It's actually kind of fitting

676
00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:50.280
after the tub noise. Damn it. Oh, it's amazing because even just

677
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:57.559
just hearing the music can start to
get your primed for tears. Yeah wow,

678
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:00.639
okay, all right, So one
hundred bucks, one hundred bucks.

679
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:04.320
If I can do this, I'm
going to tell you my secret. If

680
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:07.199
I can do this on this occasion, here's what's going to pull me through

681
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.199
it. Because I'm thinking about because
it's such a weird thing, and I

682
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:14.159
understand it's a business and the VET
needs to get paid for its services.

683
00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:17.280
I've always thought it was such a
weird thing and an awkward thing. You

684
00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:22.119
feel like a doggy hit man.
You know, they euthanize your your loved

685
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:27.239
one, and then you go and
pay them for it afterwards. So if

686
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:29.760
I'm able to get through this,
it's going to be because I'm thinking about

687
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:36.800
your hundred dollars trade going towards the
bill and not it costing you one hundred

688
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:42.599
bucks. Yes, oh, I
didn't think about that. I just I

689
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:45.880
just thought of my thought. This
would be a win for damn, that's

690
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:46.880
what I thought. I didn't realize
I was having to give you a hundred

691
00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:52.880
bucks. Also, this really adds
to it. It's a bet. I

692
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:57.679
don't like that bet, just like
I just like the possibility of winning with

693
00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:07.360
no losing. Okay, all right, I'll click on this. It's such

694
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:09.239
a weird title for this too,
Like we always referred to it as the

695
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:13.760
dog poem, but the title of
it doesn't seem to fit. It's dogs

696
00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:16.280
don't have souls, do they?
And the poem nowhere in it in the

697
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:20.679
actual context of it, does it
ever refer to anything about souls or anything

698
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:22.679
like that. It just seems like
it's a title for a different poem,

699
00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:30.440
and some of this stuff isn't even
applicable to Joel. And I'm saying because

700
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:32.599
in this story, in this poem, it's basically someone starts out with a

701
00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:37.280
puppy and a chewing on things when
we never really that wasn't how we had

702
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:39.320
Joel. We had Joel when he
was like one or two years old.

703
00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:44.800
So the reason I'm saying that is
because I think that'll make it easier for

704
00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:49.199
me. Yeah, because I mean
I understand, you know, you're not

705
00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:52.440
going to think about the fourteen,
you know, years you had with Joel.

706
00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:59.760
But the last paragraph, though,
is always very applicable. All Right,

707
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:04.760
I'm intentionally not reading down. I
just saw the first two lines and

708
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:08.599
so I'm not cheating, Okay,
I mean I remember, I remember it

709
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:12.639
pretty well, even though it's been
a while since i've read it. A

710
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:27.599
right, all right, here we
go the dog poem for Joel. Do

711
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:32.000
I have a time limit? No? Okay, I mean you just you

712
00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:36.320
just want to yeah, you,
I mean, we can't finish this segment

713
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:43.280
tomorrow, nor are we gonna pause
for you to go get go, get

714
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:52.519
housed. That wouldn't take a long
pause. I got a bottle with then

715
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:57.199
ten feet I mean, I can
you can make this thing happen? All

716
00:54:57.320 --> 00:55:07.679
right? I remember bringing you home. You were small and cuddly, with

717
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:14.480
your tiny paws and soft fur.
You bounced around the room with eyes flashing

718
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:17.000
and ears flopping. Once in a
while you'd let out a little yelp just

719
00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:22.320
to let me know this was your
territory. Making a mess of the house

720
00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:25.760
and chewing on everything inside became a
passion, and when I scolded you,

721
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:29.519
you just put your head down and
looked up at me with those innocent eyes,

722
00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:31.679
as if to say, I'm sorry, but I'll do it again as

723
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:37.159
soon as you're not watching. As
you got older, you protected me by

724
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:40.559
looking out the window and barking at
everyone who walked by. When I had

725
00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:45.159
a tough day at work, and
there were lots of them, you would

726
00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:47.079
be waiting for me with your tail
wagging, just to say welcome home.

727
00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:52.440
I missed you. You never had
a bad day, and I could always

728
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:59.480
count on you to be there for
me. When I sat down to read

729
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.280
the paper watch TV, you would
hop on my lap looking for attention.

730
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:07.880
You never asked for anything more than
for me to pat your head so you

731
00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:12.360
could go to sleep with your head
over my leg as you got older.

732
00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:17.239
God damn it, that's the part
you're talking about, right, Yep,

733
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:27.639
hang on, I died to engage
my robot suctioning. As you got older,

734
00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:39.679
you moved around more slowly. I
hate you, drow And then one

735
00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:54.280
day old age finally took its toll. You win, Dick, you win.

736
00:56:54.440 --> 00:57:00.480
You're happy. No, I'm not
happy. But a hundred bucks is

737
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:12.639
a hundred bucks. If that wasn't
so funny, I'd be really pissed.

738
00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:27.760
God damn you. Uh, I
