00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.000
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.920
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, joined today
3
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:33.640
by co host Raj Sharma. Fellow co host Trade Turnholm.
4
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.320
Maybe along shortly, just depends on if he can get
5
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.119
his tiny Chihuahua Daisy to eat something this morning. So
6
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.920
prayers up to little Daisy on being able to feel
7
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.840
better and let her daddy come to work. In the meantime,
8
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:55.079
we have a very special yest inside the treehouse. And
9
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.560
I don't say this too often, it has been far
10
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.159
too long since I've seen and spoken to you. Justin Foster,
11
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.640
Welcome inside the Treehouse after a long, long hiatus.
12
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.719
Good to see you guys, Thanks for having me so uh.
13
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.920
You're joining us from the great city that some would
14
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.359
put in air quotes of Los Angeles.
15
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:16.920
West Hollywood to woo.
16
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:17.879
The old wee hoo.
17
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.599
Yeah. All right, I'm gonna ask around the country.
18
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.159
I'm going to ask a really, really, really dumb question,
19
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:26.640
and we don't need to belabor it. I know I
20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.760
could have asked Roj this numerous times, but I didn't
21
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.280
think of it until you said West Hollywood is the
22
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:32.120
Pink Pony Club?
23
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.400
Real?
24
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:33.760
Or is that just in the song.
25
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.840
Yeah, so the Pink Pony Club is the abbey.
26
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.799
M okay, so it's just is that hurt is that
27
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:41.920
chapel Rohne's name for it or is that like a
28
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.439
common name for it or is it just her name
29
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.079
for it in the song? So they don't have to
30
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.159
pay any money to the actual club.
31
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.200
Well, that's a great question. I think I'm the wrong
32
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.560
person ask but it is interesting that the abbey is
33
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.599
they have the chapel, the sub it's like the second
34
00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:58.879
part of the abbey. So I don't know if there's
35
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.400
a connection there. I'm a big fan and at hers
36
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.840
by the way, and my sister in law was in
37
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:05.599
town and I took her by the abbey and I
38
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.560
was like, there's a peak punk cup because there's the giant,
39
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.560
you know all that, but it's not peink. It's white anyways.
40
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:10.800
Whatever.
41
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.240
Yeah, I don't know if it's I don't know if
42
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:13.879
we'd have to look at it because I am interested
43
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.639
to find out the connection. But it is the abbey.
44
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.719
Yeah, gotcha. I mentioned this and it really has been.
45
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.000
It has been way too long. We go way back.
46
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.080
The three of us do radio and comedy days, back
47
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.280
back in Dallas and radio stuff back at the old
48
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.680
rip station Live one five three, along with many people
49
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:39.879
now not just the station, who have passed on. Things
50
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.639
have gone pretty well for everybody, all things considered. You're
51
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.960
in La now. There was It was such an interesting
52
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.400
time how the Dallas comedy scene had a group of
53
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:54.080
guys that all basically migrated west to take the big
54
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.039
chance in LA. And some are still there, some have
55
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.360
moved back, some of you know, still kind of touring around.
56
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.080
How's it's good? I love it.
57
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.639
Yeah, it's funny. Roger's like, the is it Shirpa?
58
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:06.439
Really?
59
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.400
Raj went out first and like you know, surveyed the
60
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.319
land for us, and then we kind of followed him out.
61
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.199
But you know, it's so funny. It took me a
62
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.360
really long time to really like settle in here and
63
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:24.000
like I like it. And it's like been the last
64
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.439
like two years where I like love it and I've
65
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.800
only been I've been out for thirteen If that's so.
66
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.199
It only took eleven years to actually enjoy.
67
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.680
Where you lived, and now I love it.
68
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.280
Yeah, So what changed?
69
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.919
I think me? I think me mostly. I don't think
70
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.759
the city. The city has certainly changed at all. I
71
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.960
think just living and acceptance. I was sort of living
72
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.919
in two different places. You know, my family and my
73
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.879
friends and everything was in Texas, and I was stuck
74
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.560
between two worlds. And I kind of finally accepted, like, oh,
75
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.000
I live here now and I got my own place
76
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.639
and I've lived I'm living alone for the first time
77
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.120
since I was in my twenties. Wow, So it's yeah,
78
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.400
I kind of feel like a grown up.
79
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.919
No, I get that. It's a big step. I mean
80
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.840
I moved a couple of years ago, and you know,
81
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.680
I mean I lived in you know, DFW area from
82
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:17.720
the age of nine until what forty two forty three.
83
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.680
I mean that's a long time in one space. And
84
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.959
so I completely relate to what you're saying. It's like
85
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.040
you moved somewhere and then you're you're not fully there yet.
86
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.639
Yeah, it felt like I was on vacation, honestly, and
87
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.879
I tell people this honestly, until about like two years ago,
88
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.439
I never really felt like because I was going home
89
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.199
every couple of or home. See I still do it.
90
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.120
I was going back to Dallas every couple of months,
91
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.480
and I was just like sometimes I wouldn't even tell people.
92
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.319
I would just fly in and just spend a week
93
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.639
or two with the family, you know, And so yeah,
94
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.480
it just really feels like I was on vacation here,
95
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.399
just sort of visiting. I mean, I mean I lived
96
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.399
in DFW for thirty three years and I still had
97
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.959
stuff in storage there and up until like five years ago.
98
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:01.079
I'll be back.
99
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:07.199
I still keep a small storage thing in Dallas. It's
100
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.360
mainly for treehouse stuff. When when when when I when
101
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.000
I go to Dallas to do and we'll do like
102
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.959
a live show somewhere in North Texas. That's mostly where
103
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.680
that stuff is kept. But yeah, I mean, other than that,
104
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.920
I still got that little thing there. But after a while,
105
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.639
you finally do sort of maybe some people don't ever,
106
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.560
but you eventually accept, Okay, this where I am now
107
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.319
is actually home.
108
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:30.240
Yeah.
109
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.600
I think it had a lot to do with like
110
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.639
living with roommates and like sleeping on people's couches, and
111
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.839
then like I think now like having this place that
112
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.040
I love. It's a quiet, peaceful and there's a park across.
113
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.519
It's just like there's a park here, and there's a
114
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.439
park there, and my gym's there, and I when the
115
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.959
grocery store, and I just walk everywhere I'm like, Okay,
116
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.240
I just had to find the neighborhood.
117
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:50.360
Yeah.
118
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.920
Yeah, it's very difficult to do in North Texas can
119
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:54.199
usually it's drive everywhere.
120
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.079
Yeah.
121
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:57.480
Yeah, it's you get a sense.
122
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.680
I mean, you feel more grounded once you have like
123
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.480
your in space and your.
124
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.399
Own routine that you're going to do, you know, day
125
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:05.000
in and day out.
126
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.199
So yeah, which is an amazing thing to say that
127
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.399
you feel grounded when you're a stand up comedian for.
128
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:11.720
For a living.
129
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.639
Well, yeah, I know. I think that I do so
130
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.199
much to be able to navigate that lifestyle to be
131
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.360
grounded that the comedy parts so easy, because I mean,
132
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.240
like my morning routine isn't sane like you guys would
133
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.319
think I'm a crazy person, but I do so much
134
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.279
in the morning to be able to not lose my mind.
135
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.079
Are you one of those ice bath plungers first thing
136
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:32.959
in the morning.
137
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:33.519
Yeah, I do.
138
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.720
I do workout, I do ice plunge. I don't talk
139
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.199
for the first two hours. I meditate for you know,
140
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.399
almost an hour. My journal incense like the whole you know,
141
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.480
the whole thing. One of those guys, and it just
142
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.839
and it sets everything.
143
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.360
There was a guy that went viral for that a
144
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.240
few weeks ago, for he posted his morning routines this
145
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.839
is what I do every morning, millions of views and
146
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.439
it started like three something in the morning, and he's
147
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.600
taken like a twenty thirty minute ice plunge.
148
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:02.800
Oh that's crazy.
149
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:04.800
Yeah, he does like it with his face and then
150
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.040
his body. Then he journals, then he goes to work.
151
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.040
I mean a meditation, all this stuff goes to work out,
152
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.240
and then I see people make fun of it, and
153
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.720
rightfully so, because all these gurus are out there saying,
154
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.160
here's what your ideal morning should consist of. Well, by
155
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.759
the time you're done doing all that, it's time to
156
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.399
eat dinner. Yeah, you haven't even had time to go
157
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:23.839
to work.
158
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.120
Yeah, that's a little much. I think the non negotiables
159
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.040
for me is like meditating. I like to meditate for
160
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.759
like an hour and then at journal, which is also
161
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.920
turns into comedy joke writing, so which is that's for
162
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.959
my career also, Yeah, and that just kind of and
163
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.519
then you know, not not talking for the first hour
164
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:40.920
or two.
165
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:47.079
So I enjoy part of that. I like waking up
166
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.959
and kind of doing my own thing for the first
167
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.720
little bit and not having to have a discussion or
168
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.800
whatever the case is. It's very simple. I wake up,
169
00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.959
I chug a bunch of water, I take the dog outs,
170
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.680
make a cup of coffee, and and then I yell
171
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.040
at my watch for telling me to be mindful today

207
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.759
Dan, that's something that we talked about for a while
208
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.759
now and we decided to go ahead and just pull
209
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.159
the trigger on it. We've had excellent reviews, we've had
210
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.480
excellent referrals. People really love our work when they give
211
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.159
us a chance, and we just want to put our
212
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.960
money where our mouth is. And you know, that's the
213
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.399
best way I can always say that is just back
214
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.879
it up. Back it up. When I was growing up
215
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.960
and I told somebody who's gonna kick their ass. You
216
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.000
got to back it up. Well, Now that I'm a
217
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.639
grown man and we're doing professional services on people's homes
218
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:15.080

00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.120
better experience, I'm backing it up. We're gonna take care
220
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.399
of your home because we want you to have that
221
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.000
peace of mind knowing that after we left, you have
222
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.559
the very best product left behind. Your home is safe,
223
