00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.679
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.719
with us inside the treehouse. Today is Wednesday, April eighth,
3
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:39.399
two thy twenty five. I'm Daniel Malley. He is Trey Trendhome.
4
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.560
Happy hump Day, Trey.
5
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.960
That has to me too many settled meetings with you.
6
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.679
It does typically, But there's nothing weird going on by
7
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.920
me saying happy hump Day, at least not today. I
8
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.960
just mean it generally and authentically, Happy hump Day, Happy
9
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.600
Wednesdays that make you feel better, Happy Wednesday a little bit.
10
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.280
There's nothing loaded in the statement at all. But I
11
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.000
do appreciate the fact that my words have given you
12
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.280
PTSD over the years. You've given me so much power,
13
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.079
and I appreciate it. And now I'm going to use
14
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:22.239
those words to bludgeon you with massive amounts of stupid today. Yeah,
15
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:27.400
and I can't think of a better way to start
16
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:34.640
the show than with this very uplifting story. Hang on,
17
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:41.319
let me see here already, here we go. There is
18
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.239
a man. There's almost always a man in this case.
19
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:45.959
It's not Florida.
20
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:46.159
Though.
21
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.799
There are many times in my life where I see
22
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.000
a story and I think, yeah, this is a story
23
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.439
I need to share with my buddy tray because it's
24
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.879
going to be a doozy and that's this one. A
25
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.560
man with a lengthy criminal history is facing multiple felony
26
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.520
charges for allegedly shoplifting more than twenty thousand dollars worth
27
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.919
of merchandise from Walmart stores across North Georgia. His name
28
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:25.919
is Speedy Gonzales. Seriously, yeah, I know I should have
29
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.360
made this a believe it or not, but it was
30
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.560
too good to draw it out that much. Police. Gainesville
31
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.680
Police arrested forty year old Speedy Gonzales Yes that's his
32
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.360
real name, after identifying him on surveillance footage out of
33
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.039
Walmart in March in North Georgia. Speedy is accused of
34
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.919
carrying out a series of thefts at stores in Hall, Barrow, Gwynett, Habersham,
35
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:54.800
White and Lumpkin Counties. According to Gainesville Police, they say
36
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.360
he does have a criminal history in Gainesville, Georgia, and
37
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.759
again he's someone that we've dealt with numerous times. Investigators
38
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.960
say Speedy Gonzales used a simple but effective method to
39
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:11.080
conceal his thefts. He allegedly stuffed high priced smaller items
40
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.280
such as nicotine products, diabetic test strips, and gum into
41
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.000
larger containers like trash cans or mailboxes. Then at checkout
42
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.360
he would pay only for the large item and lead
43
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.879
the store with the concealed merchandise, something I think we
44
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.759
all could recognize as the trojan horse method. I mean,
45
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.800
something small inside the big thing to then carry out
46
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.000
your nefarious plan.
47
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.039
To rack up up to twenty grand in theft by
48
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.360
that method. That's putting in some work.
49
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.919
It is that takes a lot of work. That's a
50
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.280
lot of effort to steal that amount of goods from Walmart,
51
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.800
especially when so much of it's smaller now I think
52
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.000
some of the nicotine products. This is sort of like
53
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.080
a supermarket suite the old game show that used to
54
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.280
come on, and you would have a certain amount of
55
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.759
time to grab as much product as you could to
56
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.840
throw it in your grocery cart, and whoever ended up
57
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.879
with the highest grocery bill would win. That's kind of
58
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:11.800
like what this guy seemed like he was doing, except
59
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:12.840
he had never pay for any of them.
60
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.639
Poor Speedy. Kudos to his parents, though.
61
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.000
It's a serious sense of humor, and again this is
62
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.759
not speedy. Gonzalez first run in with the law that
63
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.680
came in twenty twenty when Gwinnet County arrested him for
64
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.040
stealing checks from a mailbox and attempting to use them
65
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.199
to purchase three thousand dollars worth of merchandise at home depot,
66
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:43.040
So clearly he is a retail menace. Following this most
67
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.319
recent arrest, Speedy Gonzales was initially booked into the Hall
68
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.519
County Jail, currently being held in Barrow County as authorities
69
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.240
across North Georgia work together to pursue additional charges. Police
70
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.160
also say his accomplice, Slow Pope Rodriguez, is still.
71
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.480
Along the road but can't catch up to Speedy, but
72
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:07.519
they can't catch.

jobs here inside the Treehouse. We have our treehouse jobs.
100
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.160
I also have a job on the side as a
101
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.439
wedding efficiant, and Trey has his main slash side gig
102
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.240
as a bar manager, a high end bar manager. None
103
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.839
of that nasty stuff, only the good stuff for O
104
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.000
Man Trey. But if we were looking for a new job,
105
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.480
there are some things that we need to be aware of.
106
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.839
So that's what we're going to help you with right
107
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:36.040
now inside the treehouse. That is, if you are looking
108
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.160
for a new job, you need to listen up, because
109
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.680
there are some new tactics that hiring managers are using
110
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.120
to decide whether or not you get the job. Okay,
111
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.959
one is the salt and pepper test. Have you heard
112
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.120
of the salt and pepper test deciding whether or not
113
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:52.839
you get a job?
114
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:53.800
I have not.
115
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.720
According to this test, HR managers have used to decide
116
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.199
whether or not to give someone a job based on
117
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.399
whether or not they season their food before they've even
118
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.000
tasted it. So, if you're at a job interview that's
119
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.480
happening over lunch or dinner or even breakfast, if you
120
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.720
season your food before you've even tasted it, some HR
121
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.199
managers see that as a red flag and may not
122
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.120
consider you for the job because of it. They have
123
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:24.920
their own reasonings for it, but a lot of it
124
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:31.240
has to do with basically being impulsive, among other things.
125
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.559
But they just see it as it's a red flag
126
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.200
and now you know, so if you're looking for a job,
127
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.480
beware the salt and pepper test. They even go so
128
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.399
far as to say that the test is not new,
129
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.960
but because of social media, people are kind of panicking
130
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.919
over this what they think to be is a new tactic.
131
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.960
One of the original stories that people heard about the
132
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.120
salt and pepper test was two young men applying for
133
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.759
a job at a fortune five hundred company. One of
134
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.159
the men went to Harvard, one went to Yale. They
135
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:04.000
were both exceptional in every way and numerous references to
136
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:05.879
vouch for their character. They were both so good the
137
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.480
CEO couldn't decide which one to hire, and since there
138
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.679
was only one job, only one could be hired. So
139
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.799
we invited him to dinner to see if he could
140
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.360
figure out which was the best candidate. When the food arrived,
141
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.360
one of the men put salt and pepper on his food,
142
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.720
while the other man took a small bite of each
143
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.759
on his dish, then added salt and pepper the CEU.
144
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.799
The CEO knew right then in there that the man
145
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.799
who tasted his food first was the one who should
146
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.559
get the job. Does that make sense to you?
147
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.000
Yeah, it does. I mean I understand the reasoning behind it.
148
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.279
I mean some people would just go, I know that
149
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.559
food is never salted enough, and that's why they're doing it.
150
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:45.919
But yeah, in general, you should always try your food
151
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.480
first before you add salt, salt, or pepper to.
152
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.600
It, unless, of course, you're able to check that disability
153
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.320
box and tell them. So you're excluding me because of
154
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.639
my taste bud disability I had.
155
00:09:59.399 --> 00:09:59.480
It.
156
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.120
Sounds like a dumb thing, but honest to God, I
157
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.360
think my brother in law has it because my brother
158
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.679
in law's Vietnamese, and so he grew up on eating
159
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.000
severely spicy food, so spicy that I think he's burned
160
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.120
through a majority of his taste buds to where he
161
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.080
can't eat something and taste it unless it's through the
162
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:21.279
roof spicy. So like at Thanksgiving, he has a little
163
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:25.399
side dish of hot peppers. And I don't mean hot
164
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.639
peppers like white guy hot peppers, right, I mean like
165
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.840
Asian dude hot peppers, and he'll have little bits of
166
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:38.159
it on every single bite of turkey. I tried one
167
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:42.200
bite once and I still won't touch his food. It's
168
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:46.639
been years, So if you have a lunch interview, dinner interview,
169
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.240
beware the salt and pepper test. And look, finding a
170
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.440
job nowadays is hard enough without trying to think about
171
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.960
all the sneaky ways that you're being tested. But I
172
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.000
guess it's kind of the reality of things nowadays. It's
173
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.679
not just so much whether or not you're qualified. It's
174
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:04.799
how you eat your food.
175
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:11.039
Yeah, it seems like a bit much, but it is
176
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:11.600
what it is.
177
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.600
There is another test. This one is the coffee test
178
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.120
to decide whether or not you get a job. Okay.
179
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.000
In this this trick was described by an Australian boss
180
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.360
whose name is Trent Ennis, and he said he always
181
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.159
takes prospective employees for a walk to the kitchen to
182
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.960
the break room for a drink. He calls it the
183
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.200
coffee cup test, but it doesn't matter if it's coffee
184
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.919
or not. It could be tee, water whatever. What he's
185
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.240
looking for is what you do with your cup after
186
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.440
the interview. So what he says is we take the
187
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:46.799
drink back to the office, we have our interview, and
188
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.679
one of the things I'm always looking for at the
189
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.480
end of the interview is does the person doing the interview,
190
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.120
want to take that empty cup back to the kitchen
191
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.639
and clean it, or at least put it back in
192
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.399
the kitchen, He says. The reasoning is because it highlights
193
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.399
whether or not you're a team player, if you're considerate
194
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.360
or not, and if you care about the small things.
195
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.120
Is this too much.
196
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:17.480
That I understand because just service industry, you interview people,
197
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.480
you know, they get glass of water or whatever. It
198
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:26.919
is very telling on if they're going to clean up
199
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.080
after themselves or you know, if they're they realize that
200
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.840
if they leave that glass there, they're creating work for
201
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.639
somebody else. So I get that one.
202
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.720
I remember. This reminds me. Early on in his career,
203
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:42.120
Dak Prescott did something like this on the sideline during
204
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.720
a game he was on He was on the bench
205
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.200
and he had just finished a cup of gatorade and
206
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.840
he wadded it up and threw it over his shoulder
207
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.720
towards the trash can. And this was all cut on television.
208
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:54.600
It got intercepted.
209
00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.600
No, this was early in his career. Uh, he did
210
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.879
miss the trash can, which is about three feet wide.
211
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.759
He missed the trash can, but instead of leaving it
212
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.679
on the ground in a testament to Dak Prescott's character.
213
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.919
He stood up from the bench, walked over, picked up
214
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.399
the cup and threw it in the trash can, and
215
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:19.120
that says a lot about his character. Now, you're right, Trey.
216
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.519
He still missed the initial throw and that should have
217
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.960
been a huge red flak for us as Cowboys fan.
218
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.840
But at least we know he's a good person. He
219
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.960
still had hit a wide open trash can with a
220
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.279
gatory cup, but he'll at least pick it up for
221
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:33.879
you after.
222
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.919
Did Zeke pop out when he threw the trash can
223
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:36.919
or the cup in?
224
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:41.759
He tried, but he got hurt.
225
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:50.519
You're in the treehouse.

The RMS Treehouse Listeners Foundation exists to help the families
231
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.679
of fallen DFW police officers and firefighters killed in the
232
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.440
line of duty, and we've been very fortunate over the
233
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.000
years to partner with some outstanding companies wanting to help,
234
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.440
and today we get to add Cook DFW's name to
235
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.080
that list of excellent sponsors to the foundation because Daniel,
236
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.759
you and your wife Carrie have said, you know what,
237
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.039
we love our community and we want to do something
238
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.639
to give back to our first responders in DFW.
239
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.200
Right, Dan, That's absolutely correct, and you know, truth be known,
240
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.440
Carrie has given to the foundation for quite so many years.
241
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.240
But now at a company level, I think we are
242
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.720
wanting to definitely you know, beef that up and start
243
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.200
giving back to the foundation. And it's unfortunately, this is
