00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:21.160
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.480
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with
3
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:30.839
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Wednesday, July second,
4
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:39.399
twenty twenty five. Welcome to hump Day. Going to share
5
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.560
with you a headline that stood out to me a
6
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.399
couple of days ago, and it stood out to me
7
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.439
so much that I thought, I need to share this
8
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:51.439
with my buddies, Trey and Raj. Open ocean swimming has
9
00:00:51.479 --> 00:01:05.079
many health benefits and some risks. You don't say, does it?
10
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:11.599
Does it list them both? I mean, I'm sorry.
11
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.719
I mean, look, we deal with ridiculous and stupid every day,
12
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.640
and for some reason, that headline just hit me on
13
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.680
a whole new level. Open ocean swimming has many health
14
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.200
benefits and some risks.
15
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.920
Yeah, there's an editor that let that go to print.
16
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.159
Just like why, I you know what, you might be
17
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:35.040
onto something.
18
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.280
You know what. I give them credit because it got
19
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.079
my attention. It hicks my curiosity and I want to
20
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:40.480
know more.
21
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:45.439
Yeah, like if after we hike Everest, let's go do
22
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.040
but ocean swimming.
23
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.159
You're right, Glenn, Let's.
24
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:54.200
Do the new white people's sport taking the white community
25
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.840
by storm.
26
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.280
I love it. You guys, keep doing fun stuff.
27
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.759
Look, if we're being honest, all swimming comes with risks.
28
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:11.199
I don't care if you're doing it in the in
29
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:12.680
the ocean or in a pool.
30
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.360
Hey listen, they at least give you the warning that
31
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.039
open ocean swimming does come with a few risks.
32
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.120
I mean, just a few, yeah, I mean.
33
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.360
And then they just kind of list all the the
34
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.879
species shark and then jellyfish, and you.
35
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.800
Know, not to mention just getting tired and drowning well
36
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:35.159
in tides.
37
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.960
Uh huh, yeah, undertoes. Yeah, all the all the fun
38
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.960
stuffy and then what are the health benefits?
39
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:50.439
Can we adrenaline pumping? Fear? What does fear do for
40
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.960
your that'll get you, that'll that'll eliminate your sciatica tray.
41
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.360
That's true, This might be a cure for your sciatica tray.
42
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.840
We found it. We found the cure for your sciatica
43
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.560
open ocean swimming. Although you might drown, but yeah, then
44
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:06.879
you don't have to worry about your sayatica.
45
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:07.840
Hey, there you go.
46
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.800
Dean Dennis Crean is a businessman and longtime swimming coach.
47
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.719
He's pursued his passion for open water swimming in just
48
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.639
about every kind of waterway. He's overcome headwinds at Lake
49
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.680
George and Upstate New York, traversed the Tampa Bay, and
50
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.719
negotiated tricky conditions during a twenty eight mile marathon swim
51
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:33.080
around Manhattan. Wow, he said, I remember watching the Empire
52
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.400
State Building go by and thinking, wow, we are going
53
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.400
fast with the current. But he said his first love,
54
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.879
the one that taught him his most important life lessons,
55
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.360
is the ocean. He says, when things restore me and
56
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.240
waves get big, how do you roll with it. He's
57
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.280
also swum across the English Channel and Southern California's Catalina Channel.
58
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.520
His toughest challenge navigating changing Navigating changing currents has taught
59
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.759
him that things will work out, that you will get
60
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.879
to the other side if you observe, adapt and change.
61
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.360
Ocean swimmers say their ranks are growing as people realize
62
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.520
the unique boost, particularly for mental health, provided by a
63
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.480
sturdy stint in salt water. The activity, aficionados say appeals
64
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.560
to people of different generations and fitness levels, from triathletes
65
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.759
to retirees. Okay, if you're a new retiree, don't start
66
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.600
your first day of retirement with open ocean swimming or
67
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.639
do your kids will thank you unless you've amasked serious
68
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.319
wealth And if your kids are challenging you to go
69
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:45.839
for it, they want you to die. They say. Swimming
70
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.959
in the ocean and other natural bodies of water provides
71
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.680
a connection to nature and seems especially effective at reducing stress.
72
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:57.160
That's according to one so called expert, Maryland Spitz, who
73
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.199
seventy five lives in Puerto Rico and Lose doll where
74
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.240
said her almost daily swims feel like a spiritual cradling.
75
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.959
That's that's God welcoming you home as he pulls you
76
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:10.680
underneath the surface of the ocean.
77
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.600
Spiritual cradling, walking towards the light, whatever you want to
78
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:13.920
call it.
79
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.480
Yeah, you know what. Some people walk towards the light,
80
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.079
some crawl, others swim.
81
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:19.959
Yeah, there you go.
82
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.560
I just you know, I just think we got it
83
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:24.040
all wrong.
84
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:24.959
You know.
85
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.040
I don't think the titan submersible was going to see
86
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.279
the Titanic. I think they were selling white people on
87
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:30.959
the benefits of a hyperbaric chamber.
88
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.199
It's really good for your skin, feel the pressure.
89
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:49.240
Yeah. Yeah, So now that you know of some of
90
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.600
the upsides to ocean swimming. Here in the story it says,
91
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.560
and I quote, but there are downsides to ocean swimming
92
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.759
as well. The risk of drowning is higher in open
93
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.639
water than in a pool, according to experts. I'm so
94
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.839
glad they went to experts to get that verified. And
95
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.480
many of the ocean's hazards, including ripped currents, wildlife, and pollution,
96
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.439
are challenging for even the most experienced swimmers. See, you
97
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.480
thought it was funny when you saw that photo of
98
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.000
the straw sticking up the nostril of the sea turtle,
99
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.120
But when it happens to you, not so funny. According
100
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.560
to an exercise physiologist, Laurie Sherlock, she says you need
101
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:33.680
to respect the water. She's participated in several triathlons, said
102
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:37.879
she encountered a jellyfish every fifth stroke and hit currents
103
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.759
so strong she was almost pulled into one of the pylons,
104
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.920
which was covered with sharp and pointy barnacles. This sounds
105
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.079
to me like we need to have some regulation on
106
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.519
triathlete obstacles.
107
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.959
Well, I don't know how you regulate the ocean.
108
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.040
Well, I'm she's saying right there, like the booies that
109
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.399
are along the triathlon core are sharp and dangerous. I mean,
110
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.120
maybe you shouldn't be doing the Rio Grand Triathlon.
111
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.759
Yeah yeah, And it's in the drowning part. It is
112
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.720
my favorite because it's hard to stand up in the ocean.
113
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.279
You can stand up in a pool and be fine.
114
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.480
Well, maybe you'll get lucky. You'll put your feet down
115
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:22.800
on the head of a great white.
116
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:25.879
For just a second.
117
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.560
You'll feel like you'll feel like one of the trainers
118
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:35.439
at SeaWorld. I'm flying.
119
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:45.560
Now, I'm a food. Yeah. I don't understand the appeal.
120
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.800
But not knock yourself out if that's what makes you.
121
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.319
They actually say that in the story don't knock yourself
122
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.399
out while open ocean swimming.
123
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.879
Circle of Life.
124
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.360
That should be the name of the triathlon.
125
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.160
We should sponsor the Circle of Life and the Circle
126
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:12.920
of stupid. And this is the Venn diagram of the twos.
127
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.079
You're in the treehouse.
128
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:27.199
Listen us online at Treehouse on air dot com.
129
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.959
Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration into
130
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.240
the treehouse. Their number for your free roof inspection eight
131
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.200
three three Cook DFW. The website, cookdfw dot com. The
132
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.879
RMS Treehouse Listeners Foundation exists to help the families of
133
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.759
fallen DFW police officers and firefighters killed in the line
134
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.639
of duty. And we've been very fortunate over the years
135
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.159
to partner with some outstanding companies wanting to help. And
136
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.039
today we get to add cookdfw's name to that list
137
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.159
of excellent sponsors to the foundation because Daniel, you and
138
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.279
your wife Carrie said, you know what, we love our
139
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.399
community and we want to do something to give back
140
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.399
to our first responders in DFW.
141
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.039
Right, Dan, That's absolutely correct, and you know, truth be known,
142
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.279
Carrie has given to the foundation for quite so many years,
143
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.080
but now at a company level, I think we are
144
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.519
wanting to definitely you know, beef that up and start
145
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.000
giving back to the foundation. And it's unfortunately, this is
146
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.799
a foundation nobody wants to have to donate to. But
147
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.399
it's the real world is that these things do happen,
148
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.960
and it's it's it's the type of foundation that you
149
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.120
don't want around, but you definitely want it to be,
150
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.840
you know, available.
151
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:37.720
To the families that need it.
152
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.840
And so over the next couple of months, you know,
153
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.039
a portion of all the proceeds from the work done
154
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.240
from Treehouse listeners that call in and let us know
155
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.519
that they heard about you on the show. We're going
156
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.279
to be donating to the RMS tree House Listeners Foundation
157
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.480
and making sure that we can keep that very stable
158
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.320
in the accounting side and and have funds available that
159
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.600
when the family please need it, it's going to be there.
160
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.960
So we're very.
161
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.240
Fortunate to be a part of the organization and we
162
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.600
look forward to try and assist and help it as much.
163
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:09.000
As we can.
164
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.679
Not only a company that cares about you as a client,
165
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.759
but Cookdfwroofing and Restoration also cares about its first responders
166
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.559
in our communities. So give them a call for your
167
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.720
roofing and restoration needs eight three three Cook DFW A
168
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.519

181
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.639
I'm danil Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma.
182
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:24.320
I've seen a couple of triathlons on TV, whether it
183
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.399
was an Olympic event or just something that was on
184
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.320
like whatever famous triathlon that happens, and they'll show on TV,
185
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.000
but they never really show the crowd that I remember,
186
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.679
and I've never been I've never been to a triathlon,
187
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.240
so I don't know if there's a big spectators section.
188
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.120
They mainly like I've just seen it on TV and
189
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:44.799
it's just all the people in the water, the bike
190
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:45.320
they're running.
191
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:46.919
Yeah.
192
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.039
But during this the you know, the open ocean swimming part,
193
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.080
it does make me think, Okay, are there are there fans.
194
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.399
In the stand? Yeah? I mean in my head, it's
195
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.159
just all all people of color watching.
196
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.320
Watching the white people swim.
197
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.080
Yeah. And then you know, taking bets. I like to
198
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:07.559
think that there's a there's a book.
199
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.759
I like to think trays Bookie is there taking taking
200
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:14.559
bets on uh how how people like who's gonna come
201
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.600
in first, Who's gonna be the first to drown?
202
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.200
Method of drowning.
203
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.240
Oh so there's all sorts of bets that they can do. Y.
204
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.000
I wonder if they can just do uh triathlon bingo
205
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.559
and then on on the bingo card they can have
206
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.919
different methods of death. Uh you know, it might be
207
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.600
eaten by a shark, it might be you know, just
208
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.240
good old fashion drowning. And then all the people of
209
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:38.360
color like they'll just check off bingo.
210
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.559
Yeah, it's not called bingo, it's called whitey.
211
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.320
W h Yeah, that'd be fun to just kind of
212
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.440
stumble across.
213
00:12:51.840 --> 00:13:03.639
It's actually called damn. He next commission he did, Giles
214
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:11.279
was realistic. Just imagine seeing that game. The next time
215
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.960
you go to Target and you're looking for a board game.
216
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:15.960
It's like right next to Clue and Boggle.
217
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.240
Damn, did you get shark because like, no, I parleyed
218
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.159
that wood cramp and Jellyfish.
219
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.600
I wonder if you're playing that game though, because like
220
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.399
in Bingo, when you try to hit every square on
221
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.720
the card that's called blackout. Do you change the name
222
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.919
of it for or you just leave it cuz just
223
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:39.080
asking questions.
224
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.519
Yeah, there's too much happening in my head.
225
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:45.399
Is it like a movie? They're like the first don't
226
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:45.919
go in there?
227
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.720
All right, I think I can find a way to
228
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.320
segue into this next topic. Open ocean swimming is how
229
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:00.600
we got off on this in the first place. But
230
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.399
none of us grew up near the ocean, so that
231
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.519
wasn't something we did as kids. We were all landlocked
232
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.679
in you know, North Texas, whether it was Highland Park
233
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.559
or Leonard like Trey mesquite like raj or for me
234
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:21.840
all over them, you know DFW. But there's a new
235
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:27.360
trend with millennial parents. It's called nineties. It's called nineties
236
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.039
kids summer millennial parents, and I guess some younger gen
237
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:36.240
X are trying to convince their kids to have nineties
238
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.600
kids summers, just like we did when we were kids
239
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.799
in the eighties and nineties. You set up the rules
240
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.720
and you tell the kid you go outside, you go play.
241
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.320
There's no technology, there's no phones. You just go outside
242
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.480
and make things happen the way we did is kids.
243
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.279
I have yet to see any results of it, though,
