00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.440
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.560
with us inside the treehouse. Today is Thursday, April third,
3
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.719
twenty twenty five. I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey Trenholm.
4
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.399
And while we will find many many things to laugh
5
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:50.439
about today, I do feel the need somewhat obligation to
6
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.920
start with something sad, and that is the death of
7
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.320
Hollywood legend, in my opinion, Val Kilmer at the age
8
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:05.359
of sixty five. News came out. I first saw it
9
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:11.920
yesterday morning that Val Kilmer had passed away. And look,
10
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.359
people die every day. They don't necessarily touch us. We
11
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.680
don't know them, and in the case of Hollywood celebrities, actors,
12
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.480
things like that. I never knew Val Kilmer. I only
13
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.359
knew whatever you know, work he put out there. But
14
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.200
I enjoyed almost every single film that I saw him in.
15
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.840
And that's saying something. It's really hard to do in
16
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.879
Hollywood to have film roles where Granted, I know you
17
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.439
think my taste bar is quite low tray, but I
18
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.920
really liked just about everything Val Kilmer did and I'm
19
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:48.599
gonna miss him.
20
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:56.000
I your taste bar is low, and yet I do
21
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.840
agree with you. Yeah, I first remember Val Kilmer and
22
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.879
Breakout in Real Genius Men, so so good in that movie,
23
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.000
and then you know, from that to Top Gun and
24
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.800
everything else. A notoriously an a hole to work with.
25
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.400
I don't know if he was if he's one of
26
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.199
the really well known method actors in Hollywood. I don't
27
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.039
know if he's as hardcore as some of the really
28
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.360
hardcore method actors that are out there. But he was
29
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.360
very he took his craft very seriously. Like I was
30
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.520
just yesterday, I was reading up on some behind the
31
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.080
scenes things throughout his career, one of which in Top Gun,
32
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.759
the first one in nineteen eighty six, he and Tom
33
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:50.199
Cruise had very little interaction off camera because they wanted
34
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.120
to have that conflict and that strife between Iceman and
35
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.639
Maverick to have some authenticity to it, which when you
36
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.599
fast forward thirty five years and he makes his return
37
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.319
as Iceman in Top Gun Maverick, the story comes out
38
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.680
that Tom Cruise refused to do a sequel without him.
39
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.159
It truly is amazing, and the fact that he did
40
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.000
that role in the condition that he was in. Look,
41
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.639
I know there's other higher forms of courage, but as
42
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.719
an actor and as a vain individual, that was pretty
43
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:26.759
courageous on his part.
44
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:27.159
Yeah.
45
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:32.039
Absolutely, But you know people have said for ages that,
46
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.680
you know, the reason he did not get an Academy
47
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:40.759
Award nomination for Doc Holliday and Tombstone was because nobody
48
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:41.439
could stand him.
49
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:50.159
We have interesting experience with death, you and I tray
50
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.800
and we have interesting experiences throughout our lives, some examples
51
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.120
bigger than others. There is a line out of the
52
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.879
TV show mad Men and one of the characters dies,
53
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.520
and one of the leftover characters says, I don't understand
54
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.719
how dying makes saints out of people, but it's true. Yes,
55
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.599
someone someone dying somehow you start thinking about all the
56
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.399
positives and none of the negatives, and you focus on
57
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.519
the things that you'll miss, And that's that's kind of
58
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.839
the case with Val Kilmer. Maybe maybe I'm lucky that
59
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.399
I didn't know him, because, like you said, if it
60
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.800
was so well known throughout Hollywood circles that he was
61
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.720
just a giant jerk to work with. And I'm glad
62
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.600
I didn't know him. But on the receiving end, as
63
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:35.680
a fan, I loved him.
64
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:40.000
Well, he was just, I mean, immensely talented. I would
65
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.279
say probably one of the most talented actors in my lifetime,
66
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.480
and you almost hate that you didn't see more out
67
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:47.800
of him.
68
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.879
And maybe that's why, Maybe because he was so difficult
69
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.240
to work with, Hollywood didn't you know, throw as many
70
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.360
roles at him. But the ones that he got, he
71
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.920
made the most out of. Now, granted i'm skipping over it,
72
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.720
good chunk on. When I went through his IMDb, I'm like,
73
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.040
I don't know what I feel like. Every actor, if
74
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.920
you're around long enough, has a chunk of your of
75
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.240
your resume that you just soon forget and you probably
76
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.639
did it just to you know, pay the rent. And
77
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.639
he had that for a while. Uh in more more
78
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.360
of the recent years. But when you go back to
79
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.519
the eighties and the nineties, you're like, man, it was
80
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.920
memorable role hit after hit, like uh, top secret, real,
81
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:35.360
real genius movies that really weren't supposed to be much
82
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.319
of anything. But when I think back about some of
83
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.839
my most favorite Val Kilmer movies, those are some of
84
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.120
the ones I absolutely love, the ones where he was
85
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:48.040
more comedic. He was the only reason I even bothered
86
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.079
to watch The Doors once. I couldn't stand the Doors
87
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.319
of the band. I didn't like the music. It's it
88
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.040
wasn't my cup of tea, but I watched it because
89
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.240
I wanted to see him portray Jim Morrison. And he
90
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.480
did all the singing on his own in that film.
91
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.439
It's funny, you said, because I am right with you.
92
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.879
I cannot stand the Doors, absolutely, I don't understand the
93
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.480
people's love for them. But yeah, I'm same with you.
94
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.439
I watched that just just.
95
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.120
To see him, Yeah, just to see the performance. And
96
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.199
even some other films that you weren't considered massive successes
97
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.319
I really liked because, as you pointed out, Trey, my
98
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.319
taste bar is quite low. I loved Val Kilmer in
99
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:34.480
The Saint. I love that movie. It didn't perform well
100
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.040
enough at the box office to become its own franchise,
101
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.879
like I'm sure the studio wanted. But I really enjoyed
102
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.560
it because that was based on an old that was
103
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:47.079
fifties or sixties television show, and that's when where he
104
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.120
plays all these different characters. He dresses up in disguise.
105
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:55.839
He was perfect for that. Well, it is a and
106
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.920
he made a Volvo look cool. That's almost impossible.
107
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.120
You're right, it is fascinating, and it's not even death
108
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:10.120
but you know, it happens with it like athletes and
109
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.639
people all the time, where at the pinnacle of their
110
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.600
career they're absolutely hated, but then as they start falling off,
111
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.920
everyone loves him again, like and we can do it
112
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:22.800
to him.
113
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.079
We're the ones that will tear them down because okay,
114
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.480
they've gotten too big for their bridges. Kobe Bryant had
115
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.399
that people forget that he's actually a really great example
116
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.959
of this. Became a massive saint upon.
117
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:39.240
Death, not even upon death, remember the Kobe retirement tour.
118
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:40.480
That's true death.
119
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.759
I mean, like we had completely forgotten about everything about
120
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.199
the all the negative allegations about Kobe and when he
121
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.240
was on the retirement tour, he was you know and
122
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.560
and was one of the greatest players, but everyone forgot.
123
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.480
Like Dale Earnhardt, people hated him in his prime, and
124
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.000
then at the end after he won a Daytona five
125
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.879
five hundred, and then when he died obviously then he's
126
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:07.720
a saint. Uh yeah, It's just it's fascinating when they're
127
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.879
at their peak, but then and and it's basically the
128
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.600
same as they as they get old and they start
129
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.439
dying off, then we have sympathy for him. And I
130
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.160
love them again.
131
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.040
Yeah, because we we were able to make make them
132
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.720
human again. Well, and that's the case. With Val Kilmer
133
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.399
having passed away yesterday at the age of sixty five,
134
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.480
We're gonna play a little Val Kilmber game a little
135
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.199
bit later today, so stay tuned for that. For now,
136
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:32.679
this is the Treehouse Show.

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.200

three three cook DFW the website cookdfw dot com. We
143
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.440
got a recent reminder, Daniel that storm season is no
144
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.360
longer one season out of four. It is year round
145
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.320
in North Texas and a severe storm can pop up anytime,
146
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.559
and that means at any moment you may have some
147
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.559
roof damage.
148
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.840
Yeah, Dan, we stopped being you know, springtime storms years
149
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.639
ago and so now and I try to educate everybody
150
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.120
that you shouldn't protect your roof from the storms. You
151
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.000
should protect your roof because it's the thing that you
152
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.120
need to do. Where we live, we've all made a
153
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.039
conscious decision about Leott living here in Texas and exactly
154
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.559
the DFW metroplex. We have strong storms, but we also
155
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.879
have extreme temperatures, we have extreme winds, We have all
156
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.000
kinds of things that our homes take a beating on.
157
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.559
So you really need to protect your roof year round
158
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.600
because it's the right thing to do for your home.
159
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.039
And so it's really easy. You call us out, We
160
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.960
come out, We inspect your roof. If you don't need anything,
161
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.679
we high five each other. We say see you next year.
162
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.440
If you do, we take some pictures, we take some measurements.
163
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.639
We show you what your home needs. It may not
164
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.879
be a whole roof, it may be just with small
165
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.279
repairs that will extend your roof life. But when you
166
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.080
let small things go on your home, they always turn
167
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.399
into larger and that's where it goes down here really fast.
168
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.519
So all you have to do give us a shout,
169
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.559
we'll come out. We'll give you an honest opinion about it,
170

186
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.240
I'm Daniel Mally. He is Trey Trentholm. Today is Thursday,
187
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.759
April third, twenty twenty five. Raise your hand if you
188
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.120
want to be a millionaire, raise your hand.
189
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:27.519
Want to be there?
190
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.639
It's my hand is up, Trey's hand is up. Behind Trey,
191
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.120
there appears to be a cow in his a virtual background.
192
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.519
The cow's hoof is also up. I think anybody, if
193
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.600
given the choice, would want to have as much money
194
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.799
as possible. And if you want the secret to being
195
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:47.080
a millionaire, we have it. Make your bed yes, do
196
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.960
you want the secret to being a millionaire? Make your bed?
197
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.600
Want to make millions in your life? Make your bed.
198
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.320
It's actually not that simple. But it's nice to think
199
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:58.840
that all you have to do is make your bed.
200
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.080
But that's not the case. But a number of headlines
201
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.960
I've seen this past week sure make it seem that way.
202
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.240
They make it seem like if you make your bed
203
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.799
every day, there's a two hundred and six percent higher
204
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.120
chance of you becoming a millionaire. That's not what the
205
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.039
study said. The study didn't say if you make your
206
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.720
bed you'll become a millionaire. No, I make my bed, well,
207
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.200
sort of, make my bed every morning, and no one
208
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.799
has ever paid me for it. No one's ever said, hey,
209
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.960
good job, here's a million bucks. No one's even said, hey,
210
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.279
good job, here's a scratcher. It's more like, all right,
211
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.480
I made my bed. Good for me. But apparently that's
212
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:41.679
the secret, because according to a socio economist or a
213
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.360
socio economist, his name is Randall Bell, he's been studying
214
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:51.480
success for twenty five years. I'm fascinated by that. You
215
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:55.360
know how they say those who can't do teach. If
216
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.080
you're a socio economist, for twenty five years studying success.
217
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.519
Does that mean you yourself are not successful because you
218
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.720
spent so much time studying those that are? Or are
219
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:08.639
you successful studying the successful?
220
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.960
I can't answer that. I know one of the authors
221
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.639
that you know of books like People that Study Successful
222
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.120
People turned it into a headhunting firm where he's like
223
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.240
one of the top you know, when that upper level
224
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:29.559
CEO headhunters, they contact him. So he's turned it into
225
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:31.320
quite a profitable endeavor.
226
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.559
Interesting so, according to Randall Bell, the socio economist who's
227
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.519
been studying success for twenty five years, he says those
228
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.159
who do their chores and keep their living space tightier
229
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.240
tend to make more money. As part of his research,
230
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.559
he has spent time and talked with five thousand people
231
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:55.240
around the world, including but not limited to professionals, students, retirees,
232
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:59.440
the unemployed, and multi millionaires, and he says those who
233
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:01.799
make their bed in the morning are up to two
234
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.440
hundred and six point eight percent more likely to be millionaires.
235
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.840
The reason why, it puts your mind into a productive mindset.
236
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.720
So people who make their beds every morning are more
237
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:16.039
likely to have jobs, have higher incomes, and be more
238
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:21.399
satisfied with their lives. So again, it's not the if
239
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.559
then scenario. If you make your bed, then you will
240
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.519
make millions. It's more like a trait of those who
241
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.320
are very successful. They tend to make their bed.
242
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:36.000
I've heard that many times before. And the simplest explanation
243
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.799
I ever heard was, Yeah, someone said, you start off
