1
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.239
It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh

2
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.520
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley, along with

3
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:41.600
Jerry Caldwell and today very special guest inside the Treehouse,

4
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.719
the one and only Steve Nobello from Foxford DFW. Yay,

5
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.039
you are so good at this, obviously because you do

6
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.159
TV stuff all the time. So but you are just

7
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.439
aimlessly spinning in your anchor chair and then all of

8
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.920
a sudden you heard the click of a microphone switch

9
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.920
or a TV switch, and then boom you shot in

10
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.640
a position ready to roll, but still looking cool and casual.

11
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.680
It's like a Pavlov's dog situation, right, that little red

12
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.560
light comes on and you know it's go time. I'd

13
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.280
like to know how you. I do enjoy that you

14
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.319
retained that music at the beginning of your of your show.

15
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:18.120
That always lets me know that you're on.

16
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.760
Yeah, by retaining it, I appreciate you saying it because

17
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.079
you'll ripping it off. Yeah, it's called piracy, Steve. It's

18
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.719
not just for the Somalis anymore.

19
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.120
Well, you know, I mean you live outside of the

20
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.760
jurisdiction of the United States, don't you actually know?

21
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.719
I don't. It's a misconception. Do I live in the Caribbean. Yes,

22
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.799
it's technically the United States Urgent Islands. It's a territory.

23
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.599
I couldn't vote in the presidential election, but I'm still

24
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.159
a citizen, Okay. That's That's kind of how that works.

25
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.159
And we celebrate Christmas here and everything. And one of

26
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.200
the main reasons why I love having you on this

27
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.519
time of year, Steve, is because every single year now

28
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.959
and I believe this is the fifteenth year now that

29
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.039
you've put together the Steve Noviello Holiday Guide. It is

30
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.000
a massive holiday guide for people when it comes to

31
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.000
gift giving. And it's not just like an old Seers

32
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.080
catalog that you got to rip through all the pages for,

33
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.960
but you actually break it out into different categories and things.

34
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.560
And so I'm glad you're joining us. We can talk

35
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.120
about it because you have unleashed it again this year.

36
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.120
It's available on your website. I'm sure it's available on

37
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.280
the Fox four website. Which one would you prefer to give?

38
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.800
So, yeah, No, it's Avail's streaming worldwide on Fox Local.

39
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.919
We have I think thirty eight runs and eighteen markets

40
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.680
across the country this year. You could hop onto my

41
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:47.439
Facebook to get a link. You can hop onto the

42
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.520
Fox for News website to get a link to the

43
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.879
complete guide. It's actually our sixteenth Pierre. So I'm not

44
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.719
sure which of the years you missed, but it was

45
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.120
a good one. I guarantee you that.

46
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.520
Well, it's okay because I have a brain disorder. I

47
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.159
have two brain disorders now, so I meant to say sixteen,

48
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.680
but fifteen is what popped up. But I want you

49
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.000
to know that I did. I did some research, and

50
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.199
I pulled a few of the gifts out of your

51
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.919
guide this year that I thought were really really interesting.

52
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:14.360
Okay, what do you got?

53
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.159
I realized, by the way, so this is your guide.

54
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:21.759
I didn't put it together, but I pulled a few

55
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.680
out that I thought were really innes I.

56
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.599
Did the research. You you looked at a list and

57
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.080
said that one. It's really the point of the guide,

58
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.039
so that it appropriately Yeah, it's not it's not stealing,

59
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.199
h Steve. I've curated this list like going to a

60
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.919
restaurant of me, Like, well, I came up with all

61
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.039
of these options. You read the menu and picked one.

62
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.960
Actually, that's what you did. It's almost like you and

63
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.599
I have been on a dinner date before. Uh, Okay,

64
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.639
so a couple of things that I found from your

65
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.280
guide that I thought were outstanding for various reasons. Okay,

66
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.879
let me share this with you. Make sure that you'll

67
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.560
be able to see this. The first one that stood

68
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.199
out to me was, I believe this was in your

69
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.360
category of gifts for people who have everything, and you

70
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.680
guaranteed you guaranteed that some of these items people would

71
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.520
not have. And the first one that jumped out of

72
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.319
me is something called the moon Walker.

73
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.480
I just had these on not an hour ago. In fact,

74
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.240
they're like within one hundred feet of me. I can

75
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.319
actually show them to you if you want. Yeah, so

76
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.600
these we first saw these at the Consumer Electronic Show

77
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.000
back in January. So think of this as you know

78
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.920
the moving sidewalk at the airport. Think of this as

79
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.319
your own personal moving sidewalk at all times. So they

80
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.920
use AI adapter technology to feed energy to your feet, right,

81
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.120
So the faster you walk, the more energy they provide.

82
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.240
The slower you walk, they'll slow down for you. So

83
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.439
it allows you to walk at the pace of a run.

84
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.480
They do stop, You can climb stairs. There's a little

85
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.480
bit of a learning curve. I had them on actually

86
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.759
on the air this morning, kind of demonstrating them, so

87
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.560
they take a moment to kind of get used to.

88
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.480
Yeah, the way they describe, like you mentioned the first

89
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.639
mobility device allowing you to walk at the speed of

90
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.920
a run, and you mentioned adaptive AI drive train, which

91
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.480
sounds fun for your feet, just makes me think that

92
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.439
at some point the robot's going to take over and

93
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.959
just send you someplace you never planned on.

94
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.720
The again, a little bit of a learning curve. Raoul

95
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.000
who I know, you know, He's like, what are those

96
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.759
a couple hundred bucks? And I was like a little

97
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.079
more than that, So they're a little on the pricey side.

98
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.360
But again, so these items that are like you know

99
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.920
that you've never heard of are meant to do one

100
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.160
or two things. Either inspire you to think of something

101
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.560
to be like, oh you know what, maybe not this,

102
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.160
but that reminds me you know such and such on

103
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.920
my list loves whatever, or maybe you just clicked the.

104
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.639
My button and go from there, have have you? Or

105
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.680
Hannah Baitah warned these moonwalkers during the ten on Fox four.

106
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.439
This literally within the last hour I had them on

107
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.319
my feet on television walking around.

108
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.560
That is awesome. I love that I'll be sure to

109
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.120
watch that replay of that on the four news dot

110
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.120
com website later on today. Another item that I thought

111
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.759
was cool in your selection that I then picked through

112
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.639
the ugly sweater caps, which I think is great because

113
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.639
if you want to do the ugly sweater party, but

114
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.920
you don't want to commit to sweating, because in Texas

115
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.800
it's hot, so you might be doing an ugly sweater party,

116
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.639
but it's still it's still seventy degrees. So the hat,

117
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:21.720
I think it's an awesome option.

118
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.480
Maybe you just do the hat instead of the instead

119
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.959
of the whole thing. So yeah, ugly sweater caps. They're

120
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.319
also golf themed, so people, if you're into, like, you know, golf,

121
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.920
kind of a kind of a nice again unique idea

122
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:35.319
that you probably haven't heard of yet.

123
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.879
Yeah, and it's it's exactly like, if you're not watching

124
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.279
this right now, you're just listening to it in the

125
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.959
old fashioned way, it's exactly what it sounds like. It's

126
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.199
a baseball style hat and then the front artwork just

127
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.079
looks like a Christmas sweater with a different colors. It's

128
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:47.439
pretty cool.

129
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:48.759
Yeah, So I feel like this is like a good

130
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.600
white elephant gift as well for people.

131
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.079
Yeah, I think that would actually be fairly popular at

132
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.079
a white elephant thing, like all the booze would still

133
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.360
go first, but this will probably come second. And then

134
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.240
also this other one would I thought was pretty awesome,

135
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.519
partly because I just like saying it. Pizza scissors, you know,

136
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:06.639
it's interesting.

137
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.759
I saw this. And by the way, so these are

138
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.120
from WILLIAMS Sonoma. They are pizza scissors. My aunt Mary,

139
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.720
she was actually my dad's aunt. So this woman is

140
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.519
you know far, she's she's no longer with us. She

141
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.959
used to make what we call pizza. It was really

142
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.439
more like a ficaccio when I was a kid, and

143
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.560
she had a pair of those like old school like

144
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.879
black handle like teacher scissors. That that's how she used

145
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.839
to cut the ficacia to serve it. And I saw

146
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:37.199
these and I was like, son of them, Like poor

147
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.160
aunt Mary. I mean, fifty years ago she was doing

148
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.600
this and now william Sonoma is selling these things for

149
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.079
I forget how much she could have She could have

150
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:45.759
been a millionaire.

151
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.480
Well those those are three of my standouts from your

152
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.879
holiday guide this year. What is uh? What is your favorite?

153
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.399
What is the one thing that of the entire catalog

154
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.319
that you have said I want that, or you've already

155
00:07:59.360 --> 00:07:59.680
got it.

156
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.319
You know, it's kind of hard to pick just one.

157
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.480
I think that like okay, so like in the technology

158
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.240
section from a company called sky Worth, and I'm gonna

159
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.079
get the name wrong, and they actually I got I

160
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.560
got a not so happy email from them about getting

161
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.839
the name wrong. But they have something called the Lifestyle

162
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:24.279
Portable Display with Google TV built in. Essentially, it's a television,

163
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:29.360
right and you take it anywhere. It's maybe thirty or

164
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.720
so inches and it's great. It's got the whole you know,

165
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.200
streaming interface on it, just you know, Netflix and everything

166
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.559
else on it. And I think it's got so many

167
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.759
cool uses, tailgating being in the yacht, so it's you

168
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.039
can do it. You can plug it in or you

169
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.759
can charge at the batteries, you know, Like I'm thinking

170
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:46.840
like hanging out in the yard with the kids, maybe

171
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.360
watching a movie outside, like sitting like the hot tub,

172
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.399
you know, and you know, in a kind of a

173
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.480
temperate night, you know, with it on and having them

174
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.679
watch cartoons or whatever else. I think it'd be cool

175
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.679
that I thought was done really well. It's also got

176
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.759
a nice Matt finish on display, so there's no reflectivity.

177
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.240
So I would say that that's probably one of my

178
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:05.679
favorite things on it for sure.

179
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.080
Very cool. So also I always tell you this because

180
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.320
you TV people, and I mean that a nice way.

181
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.279
I when I say UTV people, when you guys get

182
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.360
like hate mail, or you get you know, pissy messages

183
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:21.279
from people or in this case, you know clients or

184
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.480
whatever it is people that you know gave you stuff

185
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:28.039
for the guide. You're all very kind in your responses.

186
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.799
Those of us on the radio side don't put up

187
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.200
with that crap. So if you want someone that is

188
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.360
used to getting pissy emails from people and someone and

189
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.320
someone to pilford through those for you, just forward them

190
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:40.720
to us. We'll take care of it for You'll be

191
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:41.720
happy to well.

192
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.120
And again I will share with you, because this is

193
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.720
recorded outside of the jurisdiction of the United States government,

194
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.159
kind of what that experience looked like, you know. So

195
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.080
here's the thing that I don't tell PR people about

196
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:55.440
Gift Guide. So listen, I get it like it's a

197
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.399
big lift to send us stuff and we get probably

198
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.279
five times as much stuff as we actually put on TV. Right,

199
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.480
there's just we just one hundreds and hundreds of other things.

200
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.919
If I'm requesting something, it's because I know I've got

201
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.679
a spot for it. But people blindly send us stuff,

202
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.919
and sometimes that stuff is like those moon shoes or

203
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.120
like twelve hundred bucks. You know, they're like, here you go,

204
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.000
and what I don't tell them because I never know

205
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.080
how many cities were going to get picked up by.

206
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.159
I don't make any guarantees of coverage or anything like that.

207
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.120
So like that television person, for example, it was the

208
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.879
it was the client's first time trying their hand at television, right.

209
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.639
I really liked it. I knew it was going to

210
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.519
be in the guide. I put it in. It's on

211
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.039
the online version, it's in the television version. It'll be

212
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:42.759
in a breakout segment as well. And I send right

213
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.720
before the day before Thanksgiving. I send a note, which

214
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.120
is also a big pain in the neck because you've

215
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.200
got to now curate this list of one hundred people

216
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.559
to send emails to. I say, hey, thank you so

217
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.600
much for being part of the guide. You know, I

218
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:57.039
appreciate you. Here's the you know, better news we've been

219
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.720
picked up by you know, you know, thirty eight runs

220
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.879
and teen markets from New York to California blah bla

221
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:04.799
blah blah. So all these pr people who think like,

222
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.080
you know, like, hey, you're like, oh yeah, I got

223
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:08.960
my client on TV in Dallas, like and then the

224
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.120
day before things saving they find out actually, you're going

225
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.399
to be on all over the country, you know, multiple times,

226
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.120
Like it's a nice feather in their cap.

227
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:16.440
Right.

228
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.240
So when this person contacted me and was not pleased

229
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.600
that I had written freestyle instead of lifestyle, I was like, well, hey,

230
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.480
I hope the coast to coast coverage was helpful for

231
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:35.480
your client. And then she like doubled down on like, well,

232
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.919
here's what the warning. I was like, okay, you know what, Okay,

233
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.759
I get it, Like, you know, are people are funny

234
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.320
that way, right, Like at the end of the day

235
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.639
we showed the product, I said, I loved it. There's

236
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.799
a shopping link that actually allows people to buy it.

237
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.759
Like does the average consumer really care that I misspoke

238
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.639
on the second or third word of the twelve word name.

239
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.039
They do not, right, they really don't. But I get

240
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.840
it as a you know, your client probably putting pressure

241
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.159
on you to be like, oh that's not precisely you know,

242
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.320
like I'm sure that that name was workshopped in. However,

243
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.080
things are done, and you know there's will be a

244
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.240
battle of what we're gonna call this and that.

245
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.519
Well, that's also the reality of life that they need

246
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.320
to keep in mind. You can, you know, pour over

247
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.600
the minutia on things like that till you're blue in

248
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.840
the face. But some people are still gonna call it,

249
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:25.200
you know, moonshoes versus moonwalkers or whatever else, lifestyle versus freestyle.

250
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.720
That's why I say, just forward me that I'll send

251
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:32.279
back the response to whom it may concerns. Steve Noviello says,

252
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.279
you sign Steve Noviello's email checker. Wow.

253
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.440
Is that in real time or is that some sort

254
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:39.759
of AI that blocks that hour?

255
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:40.080
Oh?

256
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:45.320
That's all me baby, Wow. But don't go anywhere real quick.

257
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.679
When we come back inside the tree House, I'm going

Dan, That's something that we talked about for a while now,

271
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.559
and we decided to go ahead and just pull the

272
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.960
trigger on it. We've had excellent reviews, we've had excellent referrals.

Back it up.

278
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.679
When I was growing up and I told somebody who's

279
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.159
gonna kick their ass, you got to back it up. Well,

280
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.159

00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:18.720
Steve, can I open the links at work? Or do

325
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:19.840
I should I show that at home?

326
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.559
You know what, I think your search history is probably

327
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.240
going to be similar to mine, so I think the

328
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.480
company is going to know it's like, oh that's Steve

329
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.720
or that's day and again, it's fine. Just let them

330
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.799
do what they're doing. They're doing just at the end

331
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.919
of the day, they trust you, right, Okay, So yeah,

332
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:37.919
these these Yeah, there's nothing on here that's like dark

333
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.960
web related that you can't open at work. Okay, so

334
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.519
the first one here is an item that my wife

335
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.720
actually found on Amazon and she couldn't resist sending me

336
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.960
a link to. They were even on an episode of

337
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.879
Shark Tank a couple of years ago. And these guys

338
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.120
are from North Texas Steve Noviello. The first item up

339
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.080
for well, not bids, but you can find one in

340
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.840
the Treehouse Christmas catalog is the crap strap. This is

341
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.559
a real item. You can type it in. It's available

342
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.640
on Amazon, and I'm not kidding, this was available on

343
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.720
Shark Tank. It is an outdoor pooping accessory. So that

344
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:15.759
way you don't have to, like if you're old and

345
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.240
got bad knees or bad hips and you have a

346
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.599
hard time, you know, standing up from a squatting position.

347
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:21.880
This way you don't have to worry about it. You

348
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.839
just tie the strap around the tree, lean up against

349
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.880
the padded backrest, and do your business in nature. It

350
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.119
also hooks up to a trailer hitch in case you

351
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.200
can't find a tree.

352
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.160
You know.

353
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.079
Here's the thing, I mean, one does want to be

354
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:39.559
relaxed when you know expelling their bowels. But that tree,

355
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.319
and I know not everybody can see it. I don't

356
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.319
know that I would trust that tree versus how big

357
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:44.880
that name is.

358
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.279
I with you, especially when in the background there's a

359
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:52.160
tree that's easily doubled the size exactly on a trunk. Yeah,

360
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:53.799
that's not the tree I would have picked out of

361
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.079
those two in the frame. I do say though, that

362
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.839
while another photo had the option of strapping this thing too,

363
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.880
trailer hitch. Just what's that?

364
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:05.240
I said, Look who's here by the way, Oh this

365
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:05.720
is great.

366
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:07.440
Yeah, this is what you need to get. This is

367
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:09.119
what you need to get, Hannah for Christmas. One of

368
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.200
these one of these outdoor pooping straps.

369
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.640
That's the crap strap you. They're doing their own gift guide.

370
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.000
So when you and Kevin are out in the wiles,

371
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:20.319
is there a hammock in there?

372
00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:23.799
That's what I need for you, Hannah. I'm sure they

373
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:28.599
throw it in. Yeah, but be careful if you got

374
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.720
a buddy that's in the truck, you don't want him

375
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.039
driving off when you're attached to the trailer hitch. All right,

376
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.160
So the next item that available in the Treos Christmas

377
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.119
catalog that I think Hannah will be thoroughly interested in.

378
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.599
Is the is the Lake Cuomo Air Show.

379
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.359
For the air in the can of air from Lake Pomo?

380
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.240
Yemhm show? That's right. Yeah, we do a lot of

381
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.319
there's a lot of overlapping between the programs here, mainly

382
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.160
because Steve steals from me and the nice steel from

383
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:02.079
him lies. So this is the Lake Como Canaver only

384
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.559
eleven dollars and you can get that if you don't

385
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.799
already have multiples sent to you, guys. But that's one

386
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.839
that should have been in your guide, Steve. And if

387
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:15.039
you don't want that, there's always the Klandal, which I'm

388
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.759
sure you guys.

389
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:17.240
Talked about on last call.

390
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.160
Man, are you stalking me?

391
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:22.599
Are you no? Because Steve, this is a story. This

392
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.079
is a story that actually came out months ago that

393
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.000
you were slow to pick up on until after I

394
00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.160
talked about it in the treehouse first, then you did

395
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.680
it on last call, and now I'm doing it again,

396
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.279
and this is how it all works out. It's all accesstuous.

397
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:37.599
Fine. We do it to move though, because Hannah has

398
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:39.240
to start the new news, so I need to say

399
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:39.920
I'm gonna walk.

400
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:41.319
I could do the new News with Hannah just throw

401
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:41.599
me out.

402
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:46.519
You're good, We're good, we have we have image.

403
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:47.880
How about that now?

404
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:49.720
The clandal, I mean, but come on, like you had

405
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.720
one job? Like, who thought that that was? Okay? Is

406
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:53.839
my question to me.

407
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.599
It's so obvious. How do you not see it?

408
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.319
Well, So in the segment that we did, we showed

409
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:04.559
the clan and we also then showed other unfortunate logo

410
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:08.519
fails which really make for a for a fund for

411
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.359
a fun segment.

412
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.519
Okay, and that's available on the foxfour News dot com

413
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:17.079
website as well. You know what we actually, oh, Steve

414
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:18.559
walked around too much and froze up on us.

415
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:19.599
I believe it was on this week.

416
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.880
Oh okay, cool, Yeah, all right, a couple more clickings

417
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.839
and I'll let you go. Okay. Also, we've got the

418
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.039
the cow onesie soaked in meth amphetamines, which I have

419
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:32.400
called the meth pajamas.

420
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:33.599
Uh.

421
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.240
Actually a man was just busted recently in la at

422
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:44.720
Lax trying to smuggle uh meth soaked pajamas to Sydney, Australia.

423
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.440
And so this is a meth soaked cow onesie that

424
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.720
you could have, Steve.

425
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:53.359
And.

426
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:58.960
Yeah, that's the better signal area.

427
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:02.559
Did you're a care right there? Nop, No, it was not.

428
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:04.519
I like it.

429
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.319
We're getting a guid to a personalized the four studios.

430
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.839
There we are there right? Okay?

431
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:14.440
All right? So you see the the it's the the

432
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:20.119
meth pajamas. It is a methamphetamine soaked cow Onesie. A

433
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:23.119
guy from California was just busted at Lax with this

434
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.759
what he was trying to check it to go to Sydney, Australia.

435
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:35.799
Oh my, okay people, I mean, well, yeah, that's pretty impressive.

436
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:38.119
And then finally, I'm not sure if you saw this before.

437
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:39.920
It is political in nature, but we don't get too

438
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.319
political on the show. And that is the Trumpy Trout

439
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:49.039
Limited Edition fifty promises to make fishing great again. The

440
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:52.160
Trumpy Trout. I swear to god this is real. It

441
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.119
is a real product with a real commercial and a

442
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.799
real website and you can have one it hangs on

443
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.599
your wall or the Deluxe edition that can sit on

444
00:21:59.599 --> 00:21:59.960
your day.

445
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.079
I love it. I love it for it. I mean

446
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:04.759
looks like you might want to sit under your desk.

447
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:12.720
Frankly, yes, I think that that. Also when we first

448
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.680
talked about the Trump Bet Trout was mentioned as as

449
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:18.640
something that we feel like some people might think of doing.

450
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:19.960
Whether or not they do it, it's totally up to

451
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:23.160
them what you do with the trumpet trout. That's between

452
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:25.839
you and the fish. So there you go. There's the

453
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.759
Treehouse Christmas catalog ideas. There's a few others, but I

454
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:30.400
don't know if you're much of a drinker. I was

455
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.359
gonna I don't have any photos of ditch Gin, but

456
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:35.240
if I do, I'll throw it at you.

457
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:37.359
Sounds delicious.

458
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:41.759
Well all right, well, Steve, we always appreciate you taking

459
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:43.759

of the fox Ward building in Dallas. We appreciate it.

461
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:48.839
Thanks for saying hi to Hannah Forest. We also appreciate that.

Noviello's email truck deal.

465
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:57.599
I'll see you guys soon.

466
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:00.279
Take care.

467
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:03.960
You're in the tree House.

468
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:13.680
Visit us online at treehouseonair dot com.

469
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:16.400
Let's get Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing into the Treehouse now.

470
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:18.240
For any and all of your plumbing wants and needs,

471
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.039
give her and all of them. They're a call to one, fourth, three, six, eight,

472
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:25.039
thirty eight, thirty eight the website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com.

473
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:27.960
When I had my house in Dallas, Jacqueline, you came

474
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.640
out a few times to help us with some issues,

475
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.599
and your response time was phenomenal. And it wasn't just

476
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.160
because it was me. It was because that's the kind

477
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.039
of company you run. You go out of your way

478
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.880
trying to help every client and try to get there

479
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:42.519
as soon as you can.

480
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.839
Well, I mean, the reality of it is is that

481
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.759
plumbing is unfortunately a need and not so much a want. Yes,

482
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.079
you can want to remodel the bathroom and that's not pressing,

483
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.960
but typically when it comes to service or leak investigations,

484
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:58.720
et cetera, et cetera. If you've got to stoppage on

485
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:02.799
the mainline and you don't know and you keep putting

486
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:07.960
liquid or you know, waste into the drains, if it

487
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:09.920
has nowhere to go, it will come back in the

488
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.079
house and at that point in time, it's no longer

489
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.680
a want, it's a need, and that sort of thing

490
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:20.000
can't wait. When you have those emergencies, you have got

491
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.319
to figure out how to manage the crew so that

492
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:24.200

506
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:26.720
along with Jerry Caldwell on Fred Day, December sixth, twenty

507
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:28.279
twenty four. I almost forgot to say it the right

508
00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:30.200
way today, but I rectified it.

509
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:30.759
Uh.

510
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.720
Speaking of rectifying things, Jerry, would you want an extra

511
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:43.839
finger if you could nothing happens to your existing ones,

512
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:46.759
you just get an extra finger. What about what about

513
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:49.440
a third thumb? Would you like a third thumb.

514
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:53.359
That might not be terrible.

515
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:56.359
Now, what if I told you the third thumb is

516
00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:59.400
a robot thumb? Would you like a would you like

517
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:00.559
a robot Jerry?

518
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:01.279
Hell?

519
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:06.400
Yes, Well it's that dream may soon become a reality

520
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.920
because thanks to my doom scrolling this week, I discovered

521
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.160
something that I think is being touted as a third thumb.

522
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:19.599
It is a robotic finger attachment for your hand. Okay,

523
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:21.680
so here we go. I'm gonna show this to you

524
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:26.799
real quick. It is the third thumb, robotic finger. It's good.

525
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:31.240
It's it's a appendage that attaches to your hand, and

526
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:33.759
it's got like you know, like if you open your

527
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:35.640
hand up, why, like you spread all your fingers out

528
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:39.079
like you like one of those like kindergarten turkeys. You

529
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:42.759
see where your thumb is, now, imagine across the your

530
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:46.200
palm where there's nothing, it's just palm. Imagine there was

531
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:50.079
another thumb there that was attached through some robotic type

532
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:53.440
thingies and what looks to be some silicone that would

533
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.119
give you this third thumb, which then you could use

534
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:02.480
for various things like they show in the video, such as, oh,

535
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:08.000
making fists, grabbing four oranges, grabbing a bottle and making

536
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:13.880
put the cap with the same handgressive right, and other

537
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.079
uses for the for the third thumb, you could, uh,

538
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:20.039
I guess it would take your solitaire game to the

539
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.559
next level because you can hold and deal with one

540
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:24.839
hand with that extra thumb.

541
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:28.240
And great for uno too, and you've got a fist

542
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:29.319
full of cards.

543
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:35.119
Yeah, fistful of uno. Mm hmmmmm pretty sure. That's my

544
00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:40.640
nickname when I was thirteen. Uh. Also you can take

545
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:42.720
you can hold a marker and take the cap off

546
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:45.440
of it with one hand. If you have a third thumb,

547
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:50.359
that's a robot And then you could peel and eat

548
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:53.279
in a banana all with one hand if you have

549
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.759
a robot thumb in addition to your other ones. Now,

550
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:00.119
part of what they say about this is true. They

551
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.640
you know, they mentioned that while it's a third thumb,

552
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.839
and it's you know, it's it's not just for the

553
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.319
able bodied. Because this is from researchers from the University

554
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.440
of Cambridge. They developed this third thumb. It's a robotic

555
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:20.119
prosthetic that significantly enhances hand functionality. The third thumb exemplifies

556
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:24.640
the potential of human augmentation technologies to integrate seamlessly into

557
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:27.079
daily life. I also feel like this should have been

558
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.200
included on Steve Novilla's Holiday Guide. Well, I guess we

559
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.640
can throw it into ours to our Christmas catalog. And

560
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.680
this third thumb would offer new possibilities for both disabled

561
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.759
and able bodied individuals. So that's the nice benefit here.

562
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:45.839
This works if maybe you're missing a finger, or if

563
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.160
you just want an extra one and feel like showing off,

564
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:51.519
so you can peel and eat a banana with one hand,

565
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:57.160
and also you can stir and hold a cup of

566
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:04.039
coffee at the same time. And I feel like there

567
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:06.480
are other uses as well when you've got a hand

568
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.079
that's got an additional finger. I think I think you

569
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.519
know where I'm going with this. I mean it starts

570
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:21.279
with a third thumb, but eventually we're gonna want to

571
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:27.240
right because then that way you you can tell you

572
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.759
can tell your significant others like hey, or maybe it'd

573
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.680
be more like on a Hinge profile. It's like everybody

574
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.640
else got one. I got two, and the second one

575
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:38.839
is robotic.

576
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.599
So where the first one out, Yeah, that's true. The

577
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:47.519
other one can spell you.

578
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:53.519
That's something else would be really interesting is uh for spelling,

579
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:59.119
like for uh for for a sign language. Oh, if

580
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:00.960
you can throw an addition words or something if you

581
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:04.359
haven't if you have an additional finger on there. Although

582
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:06.680
I have seen that as well. They actually have now

583
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.640
there and they've invented this and this is this is

584
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.640
really awesome. It's hands that when you do the signs

585
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:18.000
for sign language, it says the words out loud, so

586
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:21.359
that way someone that is signing who may be deaf

587
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:24.400
can talk to someone like you or me, Jerry, if

588
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:26.440
we don't know sign language, we can then hear the

589
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.519
words that are being spoken with their hands.

590
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:33.000
That's very cool. It's like Babbelfish for sign language.

591
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.920
Yeah, and look, going back to this robotic thumb, the

592
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.440
extra finger, the third thumb as they're calling it. We're

593
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.079
all we're all familiar with the shocker, right, oh yeah,

594
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:47.400
two in the two in the front, one in the back.

595
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:53.720
But now imagine you've got another another finger. I mean,

596
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:55.680
is that is that then going to be the super shocker?

597
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:59.960
I it's sort of it's sort of like the first

598
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:01.799
It's sort of like the first kid in the neighborhood

599
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:03.920
that got the Nintendo Power glove that put it on

600
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:05.839
and showed everybody.

601
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:08.279
Right right, that extra thumb. You know that that'll give

602
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:10.480
you some extra fingers to, you know, be a little

603
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:11.200
more creative with.

604
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.480
Hey, baby, have I got a surprise for you?

605
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.599
That's right. Let's just hope it doesn't like start short

606
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:20.920
circuiting and going crazy.

607
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.839
I don't know. I think some people might be into that.

608
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:28.720

maybe even right here on the show inside the Treehouse

620
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.359
and inside the Treehouse right now, I have a special

621
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.279
little treat for you. And I'm not just talking about

622
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.680
my cousin in law I med barucha, but in in

623
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:29.920
fact prescial little treat from him that he has shared

624
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:32.119
with the world that I think it's important that we

625
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:36.359
use this introduce him to our Treehouse family. So here

626
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:42.640
we go. Take it it too far. With cows, we

627
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:44.680
kill them, we eat them, we wear them.

628
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:48.039
That's on par with most animals. With cows, we also

629
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:49.680
eat veal, which are their children.

630
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:52.200
Then we drink their milk.

631
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:56.440
Doesn't sound as bad, but it's the milk intended for

632
00:32:56.519 --> 00:33:02.920
their children. We eat their babies, and then we eat

633
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:04.599
their babies food.

634
00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:10.799
With cookies. Don't get cookies in there.

635
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.319
But then on top of all of that, we take

636
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:25.799
pictures of our missing children.

637
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:35.240
Put them on their meth.

638
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.119
Hey started to killing your kid. Haven't seen my kid though,

639
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:44.880
So he's not just my cousin in law at least

640
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.240
I think that's how we're technically related. He is a

641
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:52.680
outstanding touring professional comedian. Ahmed Barucha actor as well, joining

642
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.680
us from the Left Coast. Ahmed, Great, it's great to

643
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:57.160
have you inside the tree for the first time.

644
00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:59.000
Yeay, Hey, thanks for having me.

645
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:03.759
It's only been years in the making. Yeah. So I

646
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:06.119
say that, and I uh, I say that you're my

647
00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:08.760
cousin in law, and I think that's actually technically how

648
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:14.800
we're related because my wife, Tara, her cousin. Yeah, is

649
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:15.599
your wife.

650
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:17.880
Yeah, I think that's that's the only way we can

651
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.159
call it.

652
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:21.840
Yeah, I think that's correct. I'm not good at genealogy

653
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:25.079
and family tree, so I think that's what we're technically

654
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:25.880
have to.

655
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:27.320
Do, like a twenty three and meters or something to

656
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:27.880
figure out.

657
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:32.280
I'm gonna laugh if we come up like, yeah, I

658
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:34.039
am adopted, So who knows why I would you?

659
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:35.719
I'm half Irish? Where are you Irish?

660
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:37.639
I'm like, Oklahoma Irish?

661
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:41.599
Okay, I'm a Rhode Island Irish.

662
00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:44.599
Maybe our families crossed paths somewhere in tennesse here or something.

663
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:46.039
Yeah, probably Tennessee.

664
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:48.199
The uh so I mentioned it? You are? You are

665
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:50.800
a touring comedian. How how many days out of the

666
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:51.719
year you on the road?

667
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:52.480
Oh?

668
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.679
Man, lately I haven't been doing much touring.

669
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.920
Just have a kid's now, so doing a lot of

670
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:01.239
like just stuff around LA. But yeah, you know I

671
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:03.000
get out every once in a while, trying to go

672
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:03.519
out too far.

673
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.639
Well, I will say this that, whenever you want to

674
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.920
come back to Texas, we'll be happy to help you

675
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.920
promote those gigs, whether it's you know, df W, Houston,

676
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:17.039
Austin area, whatever the case is, be happy to do

677
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:21.599
that for you. So you're also I mean, you're kind

678
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.440
of a Hollywood guy, but not like crazy Hollywood guy.

679
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:28.440
So occasionally what happens is Tara and I'll be watching

680
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:33.239
TV and we'll see you on TV. Yeah, and Jerry

681
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:34.840
you may have seen him as well and maybe not

682
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.039
even realized it. So have you ever seen a Skittles

683
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.159
commercial where it's like some dudes hanging off the side

684
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:43.480
of a cliff. I think, yes, one of those guys

685
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:51.280
is I ed. Yeah, Tittles my favorite candy. How long

686
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.880
ago did you actually shoot that spot?

687
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.360
That was actually the first commercial I ever shot. It

688
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.440
was like over ten years ago. Now it was the

689
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:01.320
best paying one. I honestly, after that, I was like,

690
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:03.920
all I need is another commercial and I'll be set.

691
00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:06.599
But that was just misleading. So I think, like, you know.

692
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.639
It's actually Starburst, but everyone thinks the skills because there's

693
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:13.280
like roundless sears coming out of the dragon's eyes in it.

694
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.679
But I think it's like candies, like drugs for kids.

695
00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:20.400
That's why I paid so well. I gotta get more

696
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.679
candy commercials, I think is the key.

697
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:24.360
No, you're right, I mean it is. It is sort

698
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:28.519
of government you know endorsed yea, you know addiction because

699
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:30.719
I don't know if you ever saw this, but I

700
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:33.800
remember years ago they did a study where they actually

701
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:37.039
got it was either rice, either rice, it was either

702
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:42.199
mice or rats. And they had got two groups. One

703
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:44.280
they got hooked on heroin and another one they got

704
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:48.960
hooked on sugar. Yeah, and they found that the rats,

705
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:52.239
when the sugar went away or however they did the experiment,

706
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:54.519
I don't remember exactly because my brain don't work too good,

707
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:58.679
they were more addicted to the sugar than they were heroin.

708
00:36:59.199 --> 00:36:59.519
Wow.

709
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:01.639
Yeah, that's why I've been trying to switch over to

710
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:02.599
heroin myself.

711
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:09.639
It's more exciting, right, Yeah you know. Noah, you're right.

712
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:11.280
So it was a Starburs commercial, but you're right, your

713
00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:13.920
little tears coming out. That's why my brain I was

714
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:15.039
thinking skittles, But.

715
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:15.679
Yeah, that would have.

716
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:17.719
I almost didn't even shoot that one because I have

717
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:19.960
a sketch group and we were like shooting sketches like

718
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.880
the same day, and I just moved to LA and

719
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:26.159
just not too long before that, and I was like, oh,

720
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:28.079
I can't do this. I got to shoot some sketches

721
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.280
and they're like someone who is more in the no,

722
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:33.000
was like, no, you have to do the commercial.

723
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:35.360
For like ten years.

724
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:39.199
God, so on a commercial like that, because you know,

725
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:43.599
we only have like occasionally people were like one degree

726
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:47.000
of separation from Hollywood. One because I know you, another

727
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:49.880
because we have other Our buddy Raj who's on the

728
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.679
show lived in La rosch Armor. He lived in La

729
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:54.119
for a number of years, did a lot of hosting

730
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:56.800
at the Laugh Factory. He's back in Texas now. He

731
00:37:56.800 --> 00:38:00.000
does the show regularly. Our buddy tone Bell that we

732
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:03.599
known for years, so we were all in the same

733
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:05.360
sort of we know a lot of the same people,

734
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:08.719
and so I am not in Hollywood. Jerry is not

735
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:10.360
in Hollywood, but we know a few people that are.

736
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:13.320
So it makes us feel special. But when you shoot

737
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.639
a commercial like that Starbus commercial, like you said, it's

738
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:19.000
ten years ago, Yeah, and I saw it like I've

739
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:20.400
seen it within the last year.

740
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:21.119
Yeah.

741
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:23.639
Is that a residual thing for you or did you

742
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:26.159
get paid one time and it was just good one

743
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:27.760
pay check and then they own it forever.

744
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:31.280
No, that was residuals And I've never even gotten residuals

745
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:33.760
close to that. Like that was definitely like my I'm

746
00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:37.760
always chasing that that commercial. That one, it was like

747
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.159
it was crazy, Like they started playing in China and

748
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:43.039
like they like re up to the contract, so that

749
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.960
was cool. Every time that one gets played all that,

750
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:47.519
I haven't seen money from that one a while, so

751
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:48.400
now I'm like, hey.

752
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:48.920
You saw it recently.

753
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:52.280
I got to figure they're also like really easily able

754
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.519
to like just not pay me, I think because I

755
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:58.119
have no idea.

756
00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:58.840
Especially especially through all the streaming stuff, because I think

757
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:00.760
that's the most recent time and I saw it. It might

758
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.159
might have been on like a Hulu ad.

759
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:04.440
Yeah, there's all these like sneaky stuff they do with

760
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.400
contracts and stuff, and I'm too dumb to figure that out.

761
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:09.320
Like I was on a TV show for a while,

762
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:12.760
and someone who's way more like in the in Hollywood

763
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.599
they kind of noticed like, hey, this money's not adding up,

764
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.960
but I would never I'm like, hey, two dollars thanks.

765
00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:23.480
And you laugh, Jerry. But sometimes that's the residual check

766
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:25.440
that you get, like in case, I can't remember who

767
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.280
it is, but occasionally actors will show their residual check

768
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.039
from a movie or a TV show and it'll be

769
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:34.519
for sins literal sense that they get issued to check.

770
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.159
It cost more to print and ship the check to

771
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:40.760
the individual than the amount of the check itself. Yeah,

772
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:41.920
I've been there.

773
00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:44.679
I've seen those checks. I've filmed a few commercials before,

774
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:46.880
and oddly enough, the one that I got paid the

775
00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:49.000
most for was from the Gaylord, Texan and that was

776
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:52.519
a commercial that was shot basically to be shown inside

777
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:57.480
the hotel and you know, to other businesses and stuff.

778
00:39:57.480 --> 00:39:59.440
It wasn't really out on television.

779
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:01.039
Just that screen and that's on when you turn on

780
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:01.400
the TV.

781
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.519
Yeah. I just always imagine you though. I always forget

782
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.559
that you were an actor, Jerry, but I sometimes think that,

783
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.599
like your biggest roles were in like those coin operated

784
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:17.039
adult jacks. I mean, do you notice how he's not

785
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:20.840
denying that at all, not at all.

786
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.519
Fifty I got you, baby, don't google me too hard.

787
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:27.599
I always forget this and I meant to look it

788
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:31.840
up beforehand. The TV show that you mentioned, what was

789
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:32.840
the TV show that you were.

790
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:34.639
On, Dream Corp LLC.

791
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.719
That's like, yeah, that's my my favorite thing I've done.

792
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:41.199
I remember when that was going on. It is just

793
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:43.199
you know, it was years ago and I'm seeing you

794
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.039
post different things about it and seeing the show, and

795
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:48.880
it was like that is that is a cool concert

796
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:50.880
for a show, and it's it's like anyone that ever

797
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:55.239
gets to LA if they have dreams of not necessarily stardom,

798
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:58.840
which it might be just that, but from an artist's standpoint,

799
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:01.840
from a comedian or an actors standpoint, just getting something,

800
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:03.679
being a part of something that gets made, it's got

801
00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:05.639
to be a great feeling, especially if you also love

802
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:06.519
the actual material.

803
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.280
Yeah.

804
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:09.960
That that was just yea all around the coolest thing

805
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:12.760
I And uh, the director is like he was pretty

806
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:14.679
trusting of me, So I didn't have a lot of

807
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:16.559
lines in the show, but I would just make up

808
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:20.159
a lot of stuff, like like before we shoot and

809
00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:21.920
we you know, we had three seasons, so by like

810
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.679
season three, I got pretty good at like knowing when

811
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:28.159
to like shoot my shot. You know, like in the beginning,

812
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:29.920
I'd do some dumb thing in the background. They'd be

813
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:33.079
like stop doing that. Uh, But then I'd figure out,

814
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:35.599
like wait, like weight three takes when everyone's bored of

815
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:38.480
what's happening, and I'll like fall in the background or something.

816
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:42.039
Whatever you guys were doing. You got one hundred percent

817
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:44.920
rating on Rotten Tomatoes, So yeah.

818
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:45.199
Yeah, I was.

819
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:48.760
I mean, it's it's I really love that show. It

820
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:52.920
was really artistic and beautiful, but lots of dick jokes.

821
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:55.880
Kind of like a good mix of uh, being artsy

822
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.199
and not too full of it, like too serious in itself. Uh.

823
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:02.679
Yeah, I feel like you've you've kind of described our show.

824
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:06.760
Yeah yours, Yours actually sounds a little more high brow

825
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:08.119
than Yeah.

826
00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:10.559
Yeah, there was some kind of like message somewhere in there.

827
00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:14.480
It's Ahmed Barucha right here inside the Treehouse. Back with

828
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:14.960

This is the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with Jerry Caldwell,

833
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:54.039
and our special little treat today is a man actually, uh,

834
00:42:55.519 --> 00:43:00.360
I think it is an actor comedian, Ahmed Barut Chip

835
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:03.239
and we're not having him on just because of nepotism,

836
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:05.199
because he's my cousin in law, but also because he's

837
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:09.119
actually a genuinely funny and talented man. So thank you

838
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:11.119
for taking the time and hopping on with us. And

839
00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:15.199
speaking of being a man and talented and funny, you've

840
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:20.039
decided recently to share those talents with those who need guidance. Yes,

841
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:23.519
so you're you're taking on pupils. Now you're actually you're

842
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:28.039
doing something that very few dare and that is teaching

843
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:29.480
comedy to the masses.

844
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:32.599
Yeah. Yeah, I've been starting starting to teach stand up comedy.

845
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:34.119
I've been stand up for twenty years.

846
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:36.800
So I was, you know, trying to think a way

847
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:38.480
to make money during the day, and I was like,

848
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:40.239
I should become a teacher. And I was gonna be

849
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:43.599
like get a history degree and a geography degree. I

850
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.360
was like, wait, I shouldn't teach the thing I've been

851
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:46.480
spending my whole life doing.

852
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:48.760
Yeah, because because the other way that made you have

853
00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:49.800
to actually learn stuff.

854
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:50.559
Yeah exactly.

855
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:53.400
I was like it was like a month where I

856
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:55.039
was like, I don't even know how to write a paper,

857
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:55.880
but I guess I'll.

858
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:59.280
Try to try to learn history. I do a lot

859
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:01.280
of YouTube history. I could figure it out.

860
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:04.360
I hadn't thought about that. You're right, because, I mean

861
00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:07.599
people make jokes all the time about YouTube university, but

862
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:09.760
it is a real thing. I mean anywhere from learning

863
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:13.480
how to change out on electrical socket to probably learning

864
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.519
how to how to become a history teacher or just

865
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:19.480
learn about history. Period it's all available there. That makes sense.

866
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.239
Yeah, but say I've been teaching class and really loving it,

867
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:24.639
and I do offer a zoom one too, So anyone

868
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:27.920
out there can can also learn from from anywhere they are.

869
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:32.159
Well, that's cool. So where can where can someone go? H?

870
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:35.159
I know some radio people that need to learn about comedy.

871
00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:38.679
So what what website can I send them to to

872
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:40.039
help them in their careers?

873
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:43.440
Sure, it's Ahmed'scomedyschool dot com.

874
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:49.400
Ahmed'scomedyschool dot com. Uh and uh and just so it's

875
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:51.960
also out there as well. What are your socials?

876
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:58.320
Ahmed Barucha on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, a little bit, Twitter,

877
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:03.079
I never tweet, but mostly Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

878
00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:05.519
I guess you sound like us because I mean, at

879
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:08.079
a certain point, there's so many platforms. Hey, which one

880
00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:10.719
am I going to actually work on? Because yeah, they're

881
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:12.199
all different exactly.

882
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.320
Instagram is probably the one I'm most active on, and

883
00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:16.639
I put out sketches on YouTube.

884
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:18.639
Under Dead Kevin is my sketch group name.

885
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:21.559
Pretty cool. We'll do that as well on our Instagram.

886
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:24.920
That's probably where we're most active. Facebook and Instagram are

887
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:27.960
a top two. Twitter was for a while and then

888
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:30.440
I kind of fell off of that and then Trey,

889
00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:34.679
ironically enough, our co host, who's fifty years old, is

890
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:37.599
the biggest TikToker among us. Oh we let him do that.

891
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:39.599
Yeah.

892
00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:41.920
Yeah, so kind of like you were there, but it's not,

893
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.880
yeah exactly, but yeah, if it's cool with you, we'll

894
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:48.280
share some of your stuff on our Instagram as well. Yeah,

895
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:50.599
that'll be awesome at Treehouse on air.

896
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:53.960
Oh, I also have a dry bar special that they

897
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:54.800
want me to promote.

898
00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:56.119
So go to drive Yeah do that.

899
00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:59.519
Yeah, drive Barcomedy dot com. I think, and you put

900
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:01.320
my name in and I think I get some money

901
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:01.559
for that.

902
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:05.039
Anything we can do to help you in your growing

903
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:08.920
family because we are we are technically family.

904
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:09.639
Uh.

905
00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:12.199
My wife is married. So I almost said it again.

906
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:13.679
I've done this before.

907
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:15.360
And I've tried to describe it to people. My wife

908
00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:23.000
is married to his wife. No, that's a totally different Uh.

909
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:26.440
Your wife and my wife are cousins, and we are

910
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:29.239
tom slip again and make it even worse, But.

911
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:33.280
We have different wives and they are related.

912
00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:37.519
Yes, and there's no crossing over anyway. That's how that's

913
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:43.880
how we are related. And and the first time we met,

914
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:45.719
do you remember that because I want Jerry to hear

915
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:51.000
this story. I believe it was that, and it's very

916
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:55.039
important that I ask you do you remember that? Because Jerry,

917
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:57.760
that was a night that I played bartender, and when

918
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:05.199
I played bartender, I have I have a problem.

919
00:47:03.719 --> 00:47:05.280
And so does everyone else.

920
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:05.760
Yeah.

921
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.320
Yes, I'm not even sure if mom had remembered that night.

922
00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:10.920
Did we meet some people family?

923
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:13.679
Who was that guy?

924
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:19.639
I just knuck in? Yeah, No, we did, like it was.

925
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:21.960
It was at their nana's house. So it was uh

926
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.280
nana who was an amazing lady. Yeah, uh from the

927
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:34.320
from the my check clan. And she lived into her nineties. Ever, yeah,

928
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.960
by herself lived into her nineties. The house that she

929
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:42.159
lived in and eventually passed away in was in Port Austin, Michigan.

930
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:44.400
The tip of the thumb, as as my wife likes

931
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:46.079
to say, and it's right. It was a beach house

932
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:49.280
because it's a great lake. You can't see Canada at all.

933
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:50.480
It's just it looks like the ocean.

934
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:50.920
Ye.

935
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:55.599
She and her husband built that house literally by hand.

936
00:47:55.960 --> 00:47:57.679
They have photos of it in the photo albums where

937
00:47:57.760 --> 00:47:59.639
she's like handing him the stones and he's setting them.

938
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.480
So in that house is where Ahmed and I first met,

939
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:03.960
and that's when I played bartender and we were on

940
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:05.880
the top floor playing shuffle board for way too long,

941
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:06.599
drinking way too.

942
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:10.519
Okay, now I remember that.

943
00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:11.639
It's all coming back.

944
00:48:12.360 --> 00:48:13.559
It's still fuzzy, isn't it.

945
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:14.000
You taste?

946
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:18.039
That was not his fault.

947
00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:18.920
Yeah, that was not.

948
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:24.800
So that's how that's that's the first time that we

949
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:28.800
actually met. And then again for Ahmed and Abbey's wedding

950
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:30.519
in San Francisco, which was very cool.

951
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:31.599
That was fun.

952
00:48:33.239 --> 00:48:35.239
I didn't bartend that one, so good thing. You remember,

953
00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:40.800
you had the money and now now you and Abby

954
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:43.960
you got a couple of kids, and and I saw

955
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:45.599
this story and you were going to be on today.

956
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:48.800
I thought, okay, this is perfect because, uh, how old

957
00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:51.760
is you? How old is your son now? Seven seven

958
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:57.199
years old? Eventually he's going to be twelve and then

959
00:48:57.239 --> 00:48:59.880
eventually he's going to get into trouble and things like that.

960
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:05.360
The story actually happened in twenty fourteen, but it's you

961
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:09.760
know how things boomerang online. It's come back around the

962
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:14.320
story about a French kid who had a dentist appointment,

963
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:18.119
and in order to avoid his dentist appointment, he hid

964
00:49:18.159 --> 00:49:23.559
in the Alps and then when he was found, he

965
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:30.840
told the police he had been kidnapped. So imagine your future, Ahmed,

966
00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:33.880
when your son, you know, has a dentist appointment. I

967
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:35.039
want you to remember this.

968
00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:36.480
Go to the French house.

969
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:43.320
The story was a train he was But yeah there was.

970
00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:45.079
There was a twelve year old kid who faked his

971
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:47.960
own kidnapping just to avoid the dentist.

972
00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:51.880
Man. That is that's that's pretty epic. I would I

973
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:54.320
got to take a note on that. We have some

974
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:57.559
mountains behind our house. So I I.

975
00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:00.880
Mean, as a dad, would wouldn't you, especially being an

976
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:04.840
entertainer as you know by by trade. Sure you'd be

977
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:07.199
upset that he lied and that he ran away and

978
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:09.639
all these things. But as an entertainer, would you be

979
00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:11.159
a little bit proud? Yeah?

980
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:13.880
Absolutely. That's just kind of I struggle with is.

981
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:16.119
I was never a good student, So when my son

982
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:18.800
does get in trouble in school, I'm like, I don't

983
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:19.639
want to encourage it.

984
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:21.280
But I'm also like, nice, good job.

985
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:24.719
Do you find your kid kids? Do you find your

986
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:27.119
children to be a constant source of material?

987
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:30.000
Yeah, A lot of my act has now become about

988
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:33.039
my kids. But yeah, I honestly, I was selling you

989
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:35.199
off air there just like getting funnier than me.

990
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:36.199
It's like frustrating.

991
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:39.599
My son's like he's kind of like he's got the

992
00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:42.480
energy of like like Robin Williams meets like Jim Carrey

993
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:42.840
or something.

994
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:45.039
He's just like always like oh wow, wiggling and twitching.

995
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:45.679
But he's like.

996
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:50.760
But he's also clever, so it's yeah, it's he's gonna

997
00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:51.760
be a force to reckon with that.

998

twenty four. You need to make sure and say that

1031

a couple of times so everyone gets it in their

1032
00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:16.039
blood for the day. Sing it, Mike, there is what

1033
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:18.559
Today's been a really long show, so we need to

1034
00:53:18.599 --> 00:53:22.039
be brief for this final segment today Inside the Treehouse,

1035
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:25.079
Dana Malley and Jerry Caldwell with you, and that is

1036
00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:27.840
this one last thing before we let you go, and

1037
00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:30.239
it's super important, and that's why I need to make

1038
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:32.480
sure you hear it before going into the weekend and

1039
00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:34.760
before I forget it, which will happen in less than

1040
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:42.280
five minutes. Erkott, the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas, made

1041
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:44.679
an announcement this week that we need to share with you,

1042
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:48.280
and that is winter is going to be cold next year.

1043
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:53.000
Aren't you glad you know that now. I'm not making

1044
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:56.559
that up. That's the actual truth. That's what they released

1045
00:53:56.599 --> 00:54:01.880
this week. One headline Urkott's winter out look slightly riskier

1046
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:06.960
grid with a strong chance of extreme cold. That's one

1047
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:13.559
and the other from our friends at Fox four Texas.

1048
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:17.239
Winter weather patterns look similar to twenty twenty one. According

1049
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:21.280
to an Erkot meteorologist. I don't know if you guys

1050
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:23.920
remember the winter of twenty twenty one as well as

1051
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:29.760
I do, but oh boy, that winter sucked ass. So

1052
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:33.599
keep that in mind. Winter twenty twenty five is going

1053
00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:37.239
to be called And Rcott's already telling you don't expect much.

1054
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:42.039
