00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.879
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh

2
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.480
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with

3
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:37.079
Trey Trendholme. Today Tuesday, April first, twenty twenty five. So yes,

4
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.640
that means today is April Fool's Day. So beware not

5
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.560
from us, but from everybody else. That's just never been

6
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.799
our thing. So you can breathe easy. Everything that you're

7
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.679
going to hear and experience on the show today, to

8
00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:00.000
the best of my knowledge, is true. So there's your disclaimer.

9
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.439
I've been struggling with something recently, Trey, and that is

10
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.959
sometimes I feel like we're a little too hard on

11
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.560
gen Z. And when I say we, I don't mean

12
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.280
just you and me, I mean the world in general.

13
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:32.159
Granted we will dogpile onto that, but I really started

14
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.120
thinking recently that, man, I feel like we've been given

15
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:43.400
gen Z too hard of a time. Okay, why because

16
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.640
it feels like this generational thing that always happens. It's

17
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.799
the previous generations always bashing the next one, saying they're

18
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.000
young and dumb, can't do anything, can't accomplish anything, et cetera,

19
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.159
et cetera, And a lot of times it doesn't end

20
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.159
up that way. Just you know, every generation has to

21
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.159
go through growing pains as they get older and a

22
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.879
little bit wiser. I'm sure that the greatest generation, the

23
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.800
parents of our parents, which our parents were baby boomers,

24
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.199
which makes us, you know, gen X. I'm sure the

25
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.560
greatest generation thought we were losers. I'm sure baby boomers

26
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.280
think Millennials are losers. And again baby boomers think everyone

27
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.080
it losers, and it just kind of continues on, and

28
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.479
I'm sure it happened all the way back throughout time,

29
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.520
or their prior generation bashes on the new and upcoming one.

30
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.000
Now that's how I felt recently. I felt like we

31
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.520
were giving gen Z too hard of a time until

32
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.080
I saw that they have anxiety over phone calls mm hmm.

33
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.400
And that's when I started to think that, you know what,

34
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.560
maybe we don't give them enough of a hard time,

35
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.120
because I saw just yesterday that gen Z has such

36
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:59.199
crippling phone anxiety that a school in the United Kingdom

37
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.759
is actually off bring a course on how to make

38
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:09.360
phone calls. I just I there's sometimes you I can't

39
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.759
defend them as much as as much as my for

40
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.960
whatever reason, guilt inside of me was thinking that they're

41
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.199
you know, getting run through the ringer. Now, I kind

42
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:20.080
of think they deserve it.

43
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:28.080
I understand where you're coming from. But having you know,

44
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.719
I work with them, and they are They're a different

45
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:45.039
bunch and very very coddled, and you know, they have

46
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.719
their their safe spaces that you can't you can't admonish them.

47
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:51.000
They're different.

48
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.680
I mean, we thought Millennials were soft, and they kind

49
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.759
of were, But millennials will sit there and tell you

50
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:04.759
like there, you know, nine to eleven was their trauma.

51
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:10.879
Well we went through nine to eleven too. Yeah, what

52
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.599
you said about the generational war is correct. I think

53
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.560
we were very gen X is very unique in that

54
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.920
the greatest generation really didn't like the Boomers because they

55
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:27.480
were kind of the hippies m and then and then

56
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.079
they went out and especially greatest generation women stay at

57
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.240
home raised kids. Boomers women started going into the workforce,

58
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.720
which left latch key kids us. So we are uniquely

59
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.040
positioned in the generational wars.

60
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.639
I agree to that end, as much as I want

61
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.120
to go soft on gen Z to balance out all

62
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:57.120
the hard they make it real difficult. It's called telephobia,

63
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.319
a fear or anxiety around making and rec telephone calls

64
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.240
and Generation Z born between nineteen ninety seven and twenty

65
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:10.120
twelve are struggling with it. Telephobia is a relatively recent

66
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.839
phenomenon describing people who fear phone calls. This is all

67
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.800
according to Liz Baxter. She's a careers advisor at Nottingham

68
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.279
College in the United Kingdom. In an interview with CNBC,

69
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.920
she said that gen Z just simply has not had

70
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:28.439
the opportunity for making and receiving telephone calls. And since

71
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.120
it's not the main function of their phones these days,

72
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.720
they can do anything on the phone, but we automatically

73
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.639
default to texting, voice notes and anything except actually using

74
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.600
a telephone for its original intended purpose. And so people

75
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.319
among gen Z have lost that skill.

76
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.920
Oh, they've lost a lot of communication skills.

77
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.199
I mean, there's just no doubt.

78
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:55.600
Now.

79
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.600
I wonder does that include facetiming, because that's something they

80
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.279
are so much more apt to do.

81
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.279
That is an exception. A lot of this phone anxiety

82
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:09.240
with phone calls with gen Z stems from not being

83
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.480
able to see or be seen. They're fine to jump

84
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.560
on a team's call or FaceTime or something because then

85
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.879
they can have some visual cues with the person they're

86
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:23.519
interacting with, but if it's an audio only, they freak out,

87
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.839
and they freak out so bad that this career's advisor

88
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.839
said that many of her college's older pupils are expected

89
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:34.399
to take telephone interviews as a pre screening for job applications,

90
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.720
and they were failing at it because they lacked the

91
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:41.680
awareness and confidence of navigating a phone call. So now

92
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.240
this college's Telephobia seminar is part of a series of

93
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.680
career related sessions to help bring pupils phone skills back

94
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.319
up to scratch. The session actually involves practicing a series

95
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.560
of scenarios where the gen Z students have to make

96
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.000
a phone call, for example, calling a doctor's appoint calling

97
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.920
a doctor's office to make an appointment, calling in sick

98
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.800
to work, in other everyday scenarios, and they'll even sit

99
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.360
back to back so they can't see each other to

100
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.639
mimic a regular phone call they can't see the other

101
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.160
person on the other end, and then they practice by

102
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.720
using scripts all for phone calls. And she did say

103
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.439
though that gen Z can attend just one of these

104
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:26.160
sessions and it can boost confidence because it demystifies how

105
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.800
phone calls really work. So once again. I've decided to

106
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.560
stop going soft on gen Z. Gen Z is the

107
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.199
worst generation. Convinced me I'm wrong.

108
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.439
I can't no, thank you, Tray.

109
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:45.720
You're in the treehouse.

Listen us online a treehouseonair dot com.

111
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.959
Let's get Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration

112
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.000
into the treehouse. Now, Daniel, we're going into rainy season,

113
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.600
and that means lots of people are going to have

114
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.519
issues with water and drainage in and around it on

115
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.839
the house. And while you are primarily a roofing company,

116
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.560
you also do work around the people's homes every single day,

117
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.279
so you guys can actually help with some of this

118
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.720
water that's going to be, you know, coming down very

119
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.279
very soon.

120
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.720
Water is the number one cause for a lot of

121
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.639
damages to people's homes and property. And so the way

122
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.160
that you filter water away from your home, away from

123
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:33.399
the foundation, away from the sides, it's super critical. Make

124
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.360
sure you walk around your home, make sure you don't

125
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.240
have standing water, make sure that when the water goes

126
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.759
down your gutters, it's running out properly, it's not running

127
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.559
right next to your foundation. Because now it's wet. But

128
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.559
let's say we're in July and August, and it starts

129
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.960
your soul starts cracking up. Well, all that water and

130
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.120
all that you know, drainage that you put near your

131
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.759
foundation is going to soak out of that. So it's

132
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.120
going to force your slab to move. And so drainage

133
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.039
and water is the number one thing to keep your

134
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.600
home very stable and without foundation issues.

135
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.639
Yeah, and let Daniel and his team come out take

136
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.240
a look around your property and see any concerns that

137

155
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.639
great news. We're going to lay off the gen Z

156
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.279
for a moment and we're going to celebrate our gen

157
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:30.039
X roots. Okay, okay, all right, here we go. According

161
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.360
mall anymore. Now they're a real fashion statement.

162
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.159
I'm so like I basically just get the same thing,

163
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:54.679
and I think it just goes in and out of

164
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.600
fashion every five years.

165
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.759
That's actually a really good strategy. Just keep wearing the

166
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.960
sin thing and eventually it comes back in style.

167
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:03.639
So you're right.

168
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.960
Every every number of years, you're going to be on point,

169
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.279
and at some point you'll be ahead of the curve.

170
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.480
I have a specific brand of sneakers on running that

171
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.679
I love, and before everyone else jumped on that bandwagon,

172
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.919
I was enjoying them and I don't care if they're

173
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:24.399
cool or not.

174
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:25.679
They're incredibly comfortable.

175
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.919
That's all you care about. At a certain point, at

176
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:32.679
a certain age that you hit, you just stop caring

177
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.200
about what other people think. You stop caring about what

178
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.879
the trends are, what experts say you're supposed to wear,

179
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.519
or how you're supposed to think, or how you're supposed

180
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.600
to act. And you're just like, no, this is me now,

181
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.879
this is how I do things, this is what I wear,

182
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.360
this is what I say. Take me as I am.

183
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.240
And you realize, Lieutenant Dan, that was really good advice

184
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.919
to forest. Take care of your feet.

185
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.279
That's true. You take care of your feet, they will

186
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.200
take care of you. And Lieutenant Dan was he knew

187
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.799
because eventually he didn't have no feet.

188
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.080
He wished he could take care of him.

189
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.399
That's right. He'd pay good money to get those things back.

190
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.279
But you know what I'm talking about with the Grandpa sneakers,

191
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:18.320
it's the new balance, the white shoes with the blue in.

192
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.440
Nike has their own version of the Grandpa malwalkers. It's

193
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:27.039
the white shoe with the blue swosh logo on the side.

194
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:31.399
It's just the standard old guy shoe. The sog shoe

195
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:36.480
standard old guy shoe, but according to GQ, they're cool now.

196
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.039
They just did a big write up on New Balance's

197
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.399
latest offering called aller Dales a L L E r

198
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:49.159
d A L E s. It is a white leather

199
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.279
New Balance shoe that looks like something my dad wore

200
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.919
circa nineteen eighty four. It's got the NB stitched logo

201
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:01.120
on the side and the base of the shoe. The

202
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.639
sole of the shoe is cream, so it's white on cream, okay,

203
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.200
And they're only going to set you back two hundred

204
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:10.919
and fifty dollars.

205
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:12.840
Oh a bargain. Yeah.

206
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.440
This is actually the second article they've done on these

207
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.360
stupid shoes. They did one with the brown version a

208
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:23.039
few weeks ago, and now the white version. I assume

209
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.360
they're talking about the shoe color and not the race

210
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:30.480
of individuals wearing them. They describe the look as downright orthopedic.

211
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.759
And I don't know how to feel about this, because

212
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:35.639
I will admit that I am now of the age

213
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.799
and Instagram has told me that I am of the

214
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.919
age that I need to be fed ads for orthopedic shoes?

215
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.879
Are we talking about, like, I mean, what I would

216
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:51.679
consider actual like they're they're tennis shoes.

217
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.039
They're sneakers. Yeah, I mean.

218
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.960
Like the old like Stan Smith's or I think that

219
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.440
was the Adida.

220
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.440
Just white leather base shoe.

221
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:08.240
Basic, the basic, the basic bitch of shoes. That's exactly

222
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.440
what this is. And there really is nothing special about

223
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.720
these shoes. They're pebbled leather, normal laces, new bounce logo

224
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.519
on the side. It's the white upper with the cream sole,

225
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.080
and for whatever reason, they're charging two hundred and fifty dollars.

226
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.919
The writer for GQ said the brand has sidestepped the

227
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.080
dad shoe trend and decided to bring the granddad shoe

228
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.799
into the mainstream. He says the granddad shoes moment is

229
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.799
only just arriving and might stay a while.

230
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.799
I guess number one, I didn't realize there was a

231
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.480
dad's shoe and granddad's shoe.

232
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.000
I didn't either. This, that little nugget is new to

233
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.559
me as well.

234
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.639
That's uh.

235
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.519
I've seen this though, because we were, you know, earlier

236
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.399
in the show, we were bashing on gen Z for

237
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.919
not being able to navigate how to use a phone

238
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.559
because they're afraid of phone calls. But they're not afraid

239
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:06.399
of dad and granddad apparel I've seen. I've seen the

240
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.000
gen Z with their dad and granddad shoes on with

241
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.720
the mid calf you know, tube socks or or cruise socks, whatever,

242
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:17.240
pulled up stuff. That stuff that I would never be

243
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.840
caught dead in. But if they wear it, it's cool.

244
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.960
So this is where, this is where we now find

245
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:26.200
ourselves tree men of our age. If we wear these shoes,

246
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:31.440
we actually look like grandpa's or we're trying too hard

247
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.759
to look young. We're in no man's land.

248
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.960
The one thing I I kind of admire about gen

249
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.799
Z is they have much more of a don't give

250
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.279
a flip attitude as far as looks and clothing. I mean,

251
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.519
it's why they brought the mullet and mustache back.

252
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.840
They keep bringing back the weird stuff they It's like

253
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.720
it's like gen Z is constantly doing a middle finger

254
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.000
to older millennials and all of us in gen X

255
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.360
who swore that you would never do the mullet again.

256
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.399
We're not gonna do mustaches unless you can grow a

257
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.879
Tom Selleck style mustache. We're not gonna do it. And

258
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.679
what do they do. They've embraced all of it, the

259
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.080
ugly mustache that's what they want, the super mullet. They

260
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.320
do that guys are getting perms and not the women

261
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:23.440
like we grew up with. And I'm on one hand,

262
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.039
I kind of give him credit for, like you said,

263
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.000
kind of having that you know, Devil may care attitude,

264
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:29.600
but I still feel attacked.

265
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.840
Well, they're still gonna have to deal with the ramification ramifications,

266
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.840
which is what we warned them that in fifteen twenty years,

267
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.600
when you go back and look at these pictures, it's

268
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.360
not a good look. It's not You're not gonna look

269
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:43.879
back and go, man, I'm glad I did that.

270
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.559
I'm sorry. Morgan Wallen may be rich and famous and

271
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.759
very talent, but to me, he still looks like one

272
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.080
of my sister's ex boyfriends from junior High.

273
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:59.799
Before morganwall And there was Tracy Tracy Byrd, Tracy Lawrence.

274
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.000
Tracy Bird's the black lady in the video. That's a

275
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:04.759
very different look.

276
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:11.720
Tracy Lawrence, uh country singer, A big perm mullet. Yep, Yeah,

277
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:14.960
none of them have that look anymore either. It didn't,

278
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:16.880
It didn't. It didn't age well.

279
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.279
As far as I'm concerned. It died in uh Kyle's

280
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.680
Gold Mazda RX seven from nineteen eighty six, and that's

281
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.160
where it needs to stay. Yeah, I am curious though,

282
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.480
if they're bringing back the ugly mustache, they're bringing back

283
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.160
the mullet. Are they going to go so far as

284
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:44.000
to bring back the bowl cut? Oh god, because that

285
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.519
may be the most hideous.

286
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.799
Yeah, that.

287
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.279
Or the they probably will, I mean bowl cut or

288
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.480
butt cut. You want to you want to really stick

289
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.240
it to us in gen X, start start dressing like

290
00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:59.599
it's nineteen ninety four again.

291
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.160
If they get some gerbo jeans and start rolling them up.

292
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.079
Lord.

293
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.160
See you're right though, Trey. If we just kept all

294
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:12.839
this stuff, we could just pull it out of bins

295
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:16.240
and then we'd look cool. Or nah, no, we wouldn't.

dot com, just like James Petty did just last week.

307
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.960
It was James, I've been listeners in twenty twelve. Thank you,

308
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.000
and uh, I really appreciate the show and everything y'all do.

309
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.200
Now I even more so appreciate how much y'all are

310
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:25.839
just crapping on fake eyelashes, considering how much I find

311
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.759
around the floors of my house because of my teenager,

312
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:35.400
my teenage nay step daughter. She just loves wearing fake.

313
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:39.640
Eyelashes real quick, James, thank you very much for talking

314
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.799
back to us here inside the Treehouse. Second of all,

315
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.880
trade do you remember us talking about fake eyelashes recently

316
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.000
because I don't, but I have a poor memory.

317
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:51.279
Yeah, I mean not in depth, but we I think

318
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.559
we've all expressed our.

319
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.519
Disdain for them. So yeah, the super long ones.

320
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.799
Yeah yeah, I think, Uh, that does sound a little familiar. Now,

321
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.920
if if eyelashes look like tarantula legs, you've gone too

322
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:06.079
far right everything.

323
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:07.400
Yeah.

324
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:11.480
Oh, why, she's losing all of her natural eyelashes. She's

325
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:13.240
pretty much got ball spots where they used to be

326
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:13.839
at this point.

327
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:16.119
But I just.

328
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:19.079
Really enjoyed hearing the other night, how much y'all just

329
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.240
craping on to get her a tit? After I picture

330
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.799
up from work and she needed to hear that, whether

331
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.759
she liked it or not, I could go around the

332
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:31.359
house making rhymes about all the stuff on the floor

333
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.160
for her fake eyelashes, Please crap on them some.

334
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.759
More, We'll do James, Happy to do it, Happy to

335
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.119
help you raise your daughter. I almost had rear that

336
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:43.480
had been really bad. I like to think that we

337
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.200
can bring generations closer here on the show. Granted we've

338
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.400
driven a hell of a wedge between us and gen Z,

339
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:51.880
but right now I think they deserve it. And that's

340
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.799
what James is dealing with. It's his generation, which is

341
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:58.279
either Millennial or gen X, dealing with what's the what's

342
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:03.039
the one behind gen Z? Trade Alpha? Yes, So this

343
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.599
young lady is going through a trying time. It's called adolescence.

344
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:10.000
We've all been through it. Some of us fared better

345
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:13.720
than others. But the important thing to remember is that

346
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.680
we got through it. We built a lot of character.

347
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.839
Grooming and grooming habits and things you learn are very

348
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.440
interesting when you're a teenager. And if like this young

349
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.279
lady is doing, going to such an extreme that she's

350
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.519
got bald spots where hair is supposed to be. That's bad,

351
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.440
and Daddy James is correct. Sometimes you need to know,

352
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:42.960
you know, you may regret this down the line.

353
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:49.480
Just research the origins of them eyelashes, the fake eyelashes.

354
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.039
What are the origins of fake eyelashes?

355
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:54.079
Trade things?

356
00:21:54.119 --> 00:22:03.160
I from what I have read, part of their origin

357
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.599
goes back to the French and women of the night

358
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:09.720
to keep things out of their eyes.

359
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:20.720
Things, stuff. So I feel like the conversation James is

360
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:28.680
gonna have with his daughter got real awkward. Still, you

361
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.400
know what, sometimes of conversations with the teenager is gonna

362
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:33.160
have to be awkward if that is in fact the

363
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:38.240
origin story of big eyelashes. On the other hand, James

364
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.240
may have something really, really bad that he needs to

365
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:43.039
talk to his daughter about, because hopefully that's not the

366
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:44.680
reason she's got nice.

367
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.119
Every once in a while and in moderation, Okay, I

368
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.799
understand it. It's a nice look everything else, but the

369
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.160
inchlong things and just the ridiculousness of it, and.

370
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:04.519
Stop, uh, there are I've seen this before. Whenever I'm

371
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.039
doom scrolling, I'll see the occasional social media influencer and

372
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.160
I've I've complained about this a bunch over the years.

373
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.359
It's making your face look too different than it's natural,

374
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.400
than than than it's natural state. If you made up

375
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:24.359
looks totally different than you with no without being made up,

376
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:26.559
that's a problem. You're gonna scare people.

377
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.559
Yeah, it is, but it's I said, I don't care

378
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.400
about the makeup everything, but the fake eyelashes just look ridiculous.

379
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:43.000
I mean they look clownish and and it and it's

380
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:47.680
like it is some of it is like makeup. A

381
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.319
lot of women don't really know what they're doing and

382
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:53.839
so they just apply it wrong and it looks it

383
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.680
looks clownish.

384
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:57.640
Yeah, look at it this way. If you're getting makeup

385
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:00.599
tatorials from a drag queen and you're not a drag queen,

386
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:02.240
then maybe tone it down a little.

387
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:12.680
Yeah. Yeah, if you get misgendered.

388
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.200
Whoops.

403
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.279
April first, twenty twenty five. You've had You've had a

404
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:24.559
number of days now, Trey. How's the move Ben? How

405
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:26.079
are you settling into the new place?

406
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:33.839
Okay, I've had a series of unfortunate events. My dryer broke,

407
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:37.000
it was never working when I moved in, and then

408
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:38.839
ac has gone out.

409
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.799
But what's that? What's all that gets taken care of?

410
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:50.599
And Daisy's back to good health, and then I'm feeling okay,

411
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:51.519
it'll be great.

412
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.920
Are are are you and Daisy having co sicknesses? Daisy,

413
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.559
your chihuaha.

414
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:03.799
Uh, Daisy has had a bad bad stomach bug diarrhea.

415
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:08.160
She is getting better. But for a couple of days,

416
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:10.480
it was the wonderment of how much you know? How

417
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.039
can that much come out of a three pound dogs

418
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:14.680
for me?

419
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:16.920
Is she doing her part to confirm the need of

420
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:21.839
a pet deposit. Luckily it's concrete floors, so you know, ooh,

421
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:23.079
nicely done.

422
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.880
Yeah.

423
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.720
And then I think due to the just absolute absurd

424
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.400
weather changes we're having up here and the enormously high

425
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.880
pollen count and lack of sleep because of worrying about Daisy,

426
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:42.319
I have been feeling under the weather. So hopefully everything

427
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:44.920
will get back to normal. I'm ready for your dust

428
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:45.519
to settle.

429
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:47.240
I want you to be happy in the new place,

430
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:51.680
because you're excited about moving in. Obviously not excited about moving.

431
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:53.519
We've talked a lot about that and how moving sucks.

432
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:55.599
I don't think I've ever met anyone that said moving yeah.

433
00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:59.680
We even had I see an opportunity here to dog

434
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.440
pilot on gen Z. So at our house we have

435
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.880
a couple of we have a couple of rental units,

436
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.680
and in both of them it's occupied by gen Z.

437
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:14.000
One unit just moved out, and going into the apartment

438
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.640
to check it out afterwards and to see how things

439
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:22.599
are before we get the new folks in. We learned

440
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.240
a lot like gen Z. I'm not sure, if not

441
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:28.680
granted This is a very small sample size, but it

442
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:31.480
appears that gen Z doesn't know how to clean things,

443
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:36.640
which is weird because I could hear the vacuum, but

444
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:40.000
when we got up there, it's like they didn't vacuum anything.

445
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:45.200
We're happy to allow pets, but I think they I

446
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.880
think they were running like a puppy breeding operation up

447
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.119
there with one dog because Tara and my wife kept

448
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.839
finding clumps and clumps of cocker spaniel hair, like there

449
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.440
was fifteen of them. All they were missing was legs

450
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:01.599
and eyes. Had a whole We had a puppy mill.

451
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:05.920
I honestly, I have to I can't really say a

452
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.680
lot about that because I realized that for a long

453
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:11.839
time I had a lady that would come in like

454
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.240
once a month and just clean up things I missed.

455
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:19.279
I quit having that, and I found when I moved

456
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:24.279
that that was sorely missed because there were some very

457
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.480
dusty and a lot a lot of pet here in

458
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:28.599
corners and behind curtains and stuff.

459
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:31.400
So but let me ask you a very important follow

460
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.880
up question to that. Okay, when you moved all that

461
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.559
stuff out and you discovered all the dust, all the

462
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:39.720
pet dander, all the pet fur, and stuff. What did

463
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.000
you do?

464
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:42.279
I cleaned it all up.

465
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:52.240
Our gen Z tenants didn't left it along with grease

466
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:56.799
all under on the bottom side of pots and pans.

467
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:58.240
I don't even know how you do that unless you're

468
00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:03.400
cooking stuff upside down. The oven was looked like it

469
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:08.480
was something out of Sheernobyl. So I think honestly that

470
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.880
this might have been their very first apartment as adults,

471
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:17.119
and I don't think they knew to do a good

472
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.920
cleaning after the fact, or they just didn't care. It's

473
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.480
one of those two things. Either way, it's no bueno.

474
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:25.240
No.

475
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.799
I actually I spent a couple of days. In fact,

476
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:32.279
I just finished over the weekend cleaning everything and making

477
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:35.279
sure it was nice and tidy.

478
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:39.200
I'm going to show you a perfect example that has

479
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:42.759
me worried about the future of this planet because of

480
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:48.160
gen Z. And it's not all their fault because it ultimately,

481
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:54.559
ultimately their parents bear a huge amount of responsibility. Case

482
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:57.799
in point, our gen Z tenants moved out of for

483
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:05.079
two years. This is their dryer vent upon moving out.

484
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:06.440
You see that?

485
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:11.920
Yeah, did they not know?

486
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:14.680
I don't think they knew. I don't think they knew

487
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:16.799
what the handle was I don't think they've I don't

488
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:19.720
even think they know what a dryer event is. That

489
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:24.279
is two years of build up. There was not a crack,

490
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:28.000
a crease, a crevice, none of it in that dryer vent.

491
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:32.480
I'm surprised they didn't burn down the whole. Yeah, in

492
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:32.960
the house.

493
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:37.319
Look that.

494
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:45.759
Yeah, that's that is I have no words. It's like

495
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.480
they could make a blanket mm hmm.

496
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:53.359
I mean it's a very thick blanket. This might keep

497
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:59.359
you warm on Mount Everest. Yeah, you know what all

498
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:01.240
you gotta do is to north Face logo on it.

499
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:02.759
You could sell it for one hundred.

500
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:03.160
And fifty bucks.

501
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:15.880
There you go in the dryer vent. It's stunning. So

502
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:17.880
do me a favorite trace. Since you work with a

503
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:21.680
lot of gen Z, help them because their parents have

504
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:25.440
failed them. And I know that this is not I

505
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.160
know that this is a broad generalization. But when I

506
00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:34.359
keep seeing instance after instance, example after example of how

507
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:38.440
gen Z falls short on so many seemingly basic things,

508
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:44.079
I can't entirely blame them because it's ignorance. You don't

509
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.440
know what you don't know, and you don't know what

510
00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:50.680
you haven't been taught. So if you're gen Z and

511
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:52.839
you're hearing this right now. There's something in the dryer

512
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.440
called a dry yr vent. I want you to YouTube

513
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:58.440
it and your specific model so you can find out

514
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:00.960
how to clean that thing. Because if you don't, you're

515
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:03.839
gonna burn down your house, or you're can burn down

516
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:06.200
my house because you don't. You gen z don't own houses.

517
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.720
Now get off your lawn.

518
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:10.799
Then get off my lawn, Thank you very much.

532
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:10.559
Today is April first, twenty twenty five. Let's celebrate what's

533
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:18.039
some birthdays turning twenty eight today. Asa Butterfield is twenty

534
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:21.839
eight like Inder in Inders Game. Never saw that and

535
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.599
the Kid from Mars in the Space between Us. I

536
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.920
think Inders Game was that the one with it was

537
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.839
part of that string of films that came out of

538
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.480
Hollywood where like kids or it's like dystopian futures where

539
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.440
where kids have to save the world or saved the day,

540
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:39.480
or they're in mortal danger or something kind of like

541
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:45.799
with the Hunger Games. This Enders Game, May's Runner, all Divergent,

542
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:53.640
all those all those things you're asking me, it was,

543
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:55.759
I was just taking a chance. Oh okay, out of

544
00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:59.000
all the movies that I just said, I've seen Divergent,

545
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.720
I think I saw the second one that came afterwards,

546
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:05.640
and I've seen all the Hunger Game stuff. I don't

547
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:08.440
know what it is. I don't hate children, but you

548
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:11.039
think I would be based on my affection for the

549
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:14.719
Hunger Games movies where it's extremely violent towards young kids

550
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.079
put in a horrific situation.

551
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:21.159
Especially on you know generation that grew up on Lord

552
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:25.880
of the Flies. Mm hmm, yeah, I know. I saw that.

553
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:31.559
I have seen the Divergent trilogy, seen all the Hunger

554
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:35.559
I did not see the the newer Hunger Game movies

555
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:37.880
that just came out like a year ago, like I

556
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:38.119
don't know.

557
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:39.800
There was a new one that came out that was

558
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:45.079
a prequel that is about President Snow. It's sort of

559
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:48.519
President Snow origin story and the games and everything. Most

560
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:51.880
times the prequels are crap, you know when when franchises

561
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:55.239
do that. This one is actually that one is really

562
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.239
really good. Ballad of songbirds and Snakes or something like that,

563
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:00.320
whatever it's called. Watch it if if you like the

564
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:04.079
Hunger Games movies, you will like that movie. Okay, Other

565
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:10.400
birthdays today on April Fools. Very fittingly, Logan Paul is thirty.

566
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:14.119
If you could pick a celebrity and match them with

567
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:17.559
the birthday April first, for Logan Paul is right on

568
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:21.519
the nose. He is the YouTuber, boxer, WWE performer. He's

569
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:25.199
host of The Impulsive podcast, founder of Prime Energy Drink.

570
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.440
He and his brother Jake have a new reality show

571
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:33.320
on Max called Paul American. If you ever want to think,

572
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:37.480
if you ever want motivation to see that anything's possible

573
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:41.480
in life, go back and watch some of the early

574
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:48.159
YouTube videos of Logan Paul. You can do it. And

575
00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:50.840
I saw them before the fight with Tyson they posted

576
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.920
as like they posted the photo or like a video

577
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:56.920
of Logan Paul dancing like a moron in his bedroom

578
00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:59.440
on a YouTube video when he was a teenager, versus

579
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:02.239
what Mike was doing at the age of nineteen, which

580
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:04.880
was basically killing grown men in the ring, and we

581
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:09.559
all thought Tyson's gonna kill this kid. Now, we all

582
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:12.360
have our conspiracy theories about the fight itself, but when

583
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:14.480
you see that video and you see you know, what

584
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.239
he was doing at that age early on YouTube versus

585
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:22.679
what he's grown into and become, you too can become

586
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:24.599
rich and stupid.

587
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:28.360
He's grown into everything I would have assumed that would

588
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:31.039
have become. It's just the fame and fortune that came

589
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:31.920
with it is shocking.

590
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:39.159
Yeah. Yeah, and I will admit, I freely admit there's

591
00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:40.599
a fair amount of envy on my part.

592
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:44.679
Oh yeah, yeah, that's I mean, I have more power

593
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:50.119
to him for doing it, but it's I mean, there

594
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:52.039
are just a lot of people, and the Kardashians always

595
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.079
are number one on the list of talentless people that

596
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:56.079
have really capitalized on.

597
00:36:57.719 --> 00:36:58.079
Nothing.

598
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.719
Yeah, it goes back to to the most dangerous place

599
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:06.400
to be is kind of in the middle because if

600
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.679
you're on the extremes of things, the likelihood of you

601
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:12.280
becoming rich and famous are greater. And that's the reason

602
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:15.480
why I think so many politicians go one extreme side

603
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:18.000
or the other because it gets more attention. It's the

604
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:23.000
same reason why radio hosts do it. It's the reason

605
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:25.639
why Stephen A. Smith just got like like a nine

606
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.800
or ten figure contract with ESPN because he says ridiculous

607
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:33.400
things and people want to tune in to hear it

608
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:38.719
or see it. Even if it's Asenheim, they will still

609
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.480
do it. And next thing you know, you're giving all

610
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:45.960
these morons disgusting amounts of money. And it's our fault

611
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:47.559
because we watch it or listen to it.

612
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:51.880
We need to really rethink everything.

613
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:54.159
I know, we got to stop making so much sense.

614
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:58.320
There's no money in it. Ironically, there is no sense

615
00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:02.000
in making sense. I know I'm not the first person

616
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:03.760
to say that, but I just it feels good to

617
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:05.679
say it out loud because it's true.

618
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:11.639
Let you release one of your sex tapes.

619
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:19.000
I was just wondering, like, uh, would you know, would

620
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:20.360

632
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:14.400
close up the treehouse for today. April fools Day, twenty

633
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:19.320
twenty five. I'm a huge fan of revenge stories. I'm

634
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:24.159
an even bigger fan of real life revenge stories like

635
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:29.039
this one. A plumber returned to reclog a pipe after

636
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.199
the restaurant refused to pay its bill.

637
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:37.800
Yeah yes.

638
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:48.679
In Evansville, Indiana, owners of an east side restaurant, All right,

639
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:52.599
that's not clapping in Evansville. In Evansville, Indiana, owners of

640
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:57.239
an damn Now, I can't talk too much clapping. In Evansville, Indiana,

641
00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:59.840
owners of an east side restaurant say they feel like

642
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:03.079
stored it after they say their plumber returned to reclog

643
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:08.480
their pipes over a disputed bill. Ty bistro and Bar

644
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:12.159
operations manager Jesse Sanders says when their kitchen's grease traps

645
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:15.320
started to overflow, they called Heurven plumbing company to fix it.

646
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:18.320
Three days later, when it happened again, they say they

647
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:21.519
called the plumber back, this time saying it was an emergency.

648
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:25.480
After a Herven Plumbing returned for the second job, the

649
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:27.800
manager says they received a bill for nearly double what

650
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:30.280
they'd already paid upon the first visit, since the plumber

651
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:35.199
returned on overtime. They said they were shocked, couldn't believe it, like, okay,

652
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.000
is this really happening. The first bill two hundred and

653
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:40.639
thirty five dollars, the second three hundred and ninety dollars,

654
00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:44.000
and the owners say they refused to pay the second one.

655
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:46.960
The manager says it's not about the money, it's about

656
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:49.639
him just standing behind his work. The restaurant surveillance cameras

657
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:53.320
show the plumber returning the next morning. The following day,

658
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:55.320
they say, we received a text message saying he's on

659
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.800
our property. He put a balloon into our grease trap

660
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.159
and he's not going to remove it until we p a.

661
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:13.360
Yeah, uh uh yeah, you know you call when you

662
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:15.400
call a plumber and an and you say it's an

663
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.719
emergency and they come in after hours.

664
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:19.199
Yeah, it's just gonna cost more.

665
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.639
It is sorry, that's it's that's reality.

666
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:23.400
Uh.

667
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:27.440
Texts exchanged between the restaurant and the plumbers show the

668
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:30.119
restaurant owners we're given about an hour to pay their

669
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:33.800
bill before the plumber would leave for the weekend. I

670
00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:36.400
can speak from experience on this. If you have a

671
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:40.480
plumber that does not work on the weekend, then you

672
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:45.519
need to get it's their business, it's their call. They

673
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:46.960
get to decide their own hours.

674
00:41:50.119 --> 00:41:50.440
Yeah.

675
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.400
And what you can't do as a restaurant owner is

676
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:54.760
operate with a overflowing grease trap.

677
00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:56.480
It's just the snow alone.

678
00:41:57.400 --> 00:41:58.400
And the plumber knows this.

679
00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:00.000
Uh huh.

680
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.199
Look he may be a plumber, he doesn't just fix

681
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:07.199
pipe in this case, sometimes he lays it. He knows

682
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:09.039
he's got you bent over the grease strap and he's

683
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:15.719
gonna take advantage of it, according to the According to

684
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:19.039
the plumbing company owner Joel Herven, he told the news

685
00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:21.760
over the phone that his business offers no warranty for

686
00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:24.639
drain cleaning. He says the restaurant also had a history

687
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:26.800
of being slow to make payments to their business in

688
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:29.000
the past. He says, I don't have a magic wand

689
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:30.960
I can wave and remove all the garbage and debris

690
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:34.079
from the main from the drain line. What we can do,

691
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:36.000
we can snake it. We can make sure that it's

692
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:39.639
open and working correctly, which is what we did. Police

693
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:42.559
actually had to come to the restaurant to mediate upon

694
00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:46.719
the owners upon the restaurant owner's request. The police say

695
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:49.119
these matters are normally settled in small claims court.

696
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:54.119
A balloon is a brilliant thing, though I'd never even

697
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:59.119
thought of that, But yeah, if it's if you say

698
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:00.840
it's not about the money, then you should just pay

699
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:04.360
the money and try to get out of that some

700
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:07.760
you know, seek your grievance elsewhere, because you're not gonna win.

701
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:12.360
You are not, No, you absolutely are not. Look, you're

702
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:16.199
up against it. Pay it, get it fixed. You can

703
00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:18.599
fight about the bill later, but get it fixed. Otherwise

704
00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:20.239
you're gonna lose out on all that money for an

705
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.360
entire weekend. And last I checked, that's when restaurants have

706
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:25.599
a tendency to make the most money. Yeah, and it's

707
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:31.760
also when that plumber goes to Margaritaville, So you know,

708
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:39.480
probably pay it because it might be five o'clock somewhere,

709
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:45.400
but it's definitely five o'clock for that plumber. For all
