WEBVTT

1
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.760
It is time believe your worries outside. Come laugh with

2
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.879
us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey

3
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:39.520
Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Got my notes. I'm ready to roll, gentlemen.

4
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:46.719
All right, on today's show, WAPPA is out for Blood,

5
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:55.119
ESPN's Bold Strategy and Democracy manifest That is all coming

6
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:02.960
up on today's show. But first I need to tell

7
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.519
you about how Tara and I have relocated. One would

8
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.799
think we're the worst participants in the Witness Relocation program

9
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.519
because I tell you where we keep going if we

10
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.799
don't change our names. But it feels a little bit

11
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:25.680
like witness relocation. So here's over the last almost three years,

12
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.159
or no two years. Over the last almost two years

13
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:43.719
has been our locations, Okay, Dallas, Saint Thomas, Saint John, Dallas,

14
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:53.920
now Seattle. Yeah, and those are just the physical municipalities,

15
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.239
geographical locations. That does not include the number of places

16
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.359
we've actually lived in that time, because we've had to

17
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.719
pop around a little bit. All while keeping in mind

18
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.359
we have our own house. Sorry, I'm trying not to

19
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.719
swear in the regular show anymore. I'll believe that later

20
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.039
we have our own e f and house on the

21
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.199
island of Saint Thomas. But because we needed to move

22
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.639
to Saint John Uh for my wife's work, we've got

23
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.919
that house rented out long term, so we can't live

24
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.759
in our own house. Terrible, terrible conunder mine.

25
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.319
Give me the house with the generator in the back

26
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.719
of the all its own water system and and everything

27
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.080
that we had, regardless of the power situation, makes it

28
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:33.199
kind of self sustaining.

29
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.039
Yes, yeah, that one.

30
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.039
We've traded in our very well calculated, pre planned, thought

31
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.719
out home on an island in the Caribbean and said, nope,

32
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.240
we gotta we got to make a move for work,

33
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.199
mm hmm, which sounds silly but it's actually true.

34
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.680
And then and then you guys went up to Seattle

35
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.400
because you're avoiding hurricane season. You're not. You're not standing

36
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.240
strong with your Eyeland brothers and sisters.

37
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:07.120
And no, we're not. We bolted because are sustainable, hurricane proof,

38
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.280
ready to roll. House on Saint Thomas is full of

39
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.680
strangers and we can't live there because we told them

40
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.400
they could in exchange for money. So since we can't

41
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.800
live during hurricane season in our fortress, we're not gonna

42
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.039
We're not gonna chance it by living in a wood

43
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.800
structure apartment somewhere else.

44
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.840
Yes, so you chose the beautiful, sunny, blue skies of Seattle.

45
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:32.919
In the shadow of a volcano.

46
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.800
Still better than a Category five hurricane. Okay, I have

47
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.680
at least I have at least seen Dante's Peak to

48
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.199
know the things I can do to try to survive

49
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.319
a volcanic eruption. I have not seen a Hollywood disaster

50
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.120
film centered around a hurricane yet that anyone has survived.

51
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.199
So I'm going with what I know.

52
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.680
Yeah, that's why they haven't made a movie called Pompeii.

53
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.439
Actually they did, Yeah, and I think it ends like

54
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:05.919
within the first two minutes.

55
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.680
Of the movie and then the rest is just flashback.

56
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:11.280
To a better time.

57
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.639
Yeah, hey, remember remember when we were all happy and

58
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.800
not frozen and ash you and all that stuff coming

59
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.560
up on the show today. But first I'm going to

60
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.600
tell you about the relocation to Seattle. Really it is,

61
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.319
You're right, Rise, It was kind of a relocation for

62
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.800
going someplace nice. And while Seattle has the uh the

63
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.240
stereotype of cloudy and gloomy, and I mean, I guess

64
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.199
it has that, but in the summer it's pretty damn nice.

65
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.879
And by nice, I mean summer in Seattle, like late

66
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:47.480
fall in DFW.

67
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.560
Oh okay, okayne, wearing.

68
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.720
Long sleeves right now inside of a house in Seattle

69
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.279
that does not have air conditioning, and and I'm kind

70
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:57.720
of chilly.

71
00:04:58.439 --> 00:04:59.720
Oh okay nice?

72
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.240
Uh that we just left Dallas. The day we left,

73
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.680
the expected high temperature was one hundred and three degrees.

74
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.920
That does not eat index, Okay, right, it was three

75
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.040
in Dallas. Three and a half hours later when we

76
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.360
landed in Seattle, it was going to be a high

77
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.279
of seventy nine and people were kind of worried because

78
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.120
if it rolled over to eighty they were all going

79
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.800
to have to jump in the water to cool off.

80
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.079
Yeah, yeah, that that happens here here. You get heat

81
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.600
waves of a blistering eighty four and people start falling

82
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:35.319
the f out.

83
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.560
You say that jokingly, but that's almost verbatim what our

84
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.240
Uber drivers said on the way here from the airport.

85
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:47.040
Oh, I was in London many years ago during the

86
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.519
London Marathon and it was unseasonably warm at seventy four

87
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.839
degrees and three people on my train passed out.

88
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:56.600
I just don't know.

89
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.439
Yeah, all the Indians on the train in London when I.

90
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.000
Rookies there was though there was I think it was

91
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.279
last summer. We were seeing headlines from around the world,

92
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.399
especially in Europe, where they were actually experiencing triple digit

93
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.519
heat and did not know how to function, because you're right,

94
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:17.959
you're talking about parts of the world they don't know

95
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.040
how to function when the temperature goes up into the

96
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.040
mid to upper eighties, let alone the nineties, let alone

97
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.759
gets to triple digits. And yeah, people were dying like

98
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.399
they're throwing themselves off the rocket Gibraltar because it was

99
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:31.720
going to be cooler on the way down.

100
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.600
That's one way to fan yourself. Yeah. So I mean

101
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.639
in Chicago, I'm a couple of years ago, there was

102
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.959
a heat wave and it was eighty eight I believe,

103
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.120
and they had multiple fatalities because people were just overheating

104
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.560
and not used to it. And I understand, but yeah,

105
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.199
you guys are like bitched out on hurricane season and

106
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.920
then you got here and even though you grew up here.

107
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.600
A little too hot for you guys.

108
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.639
Okay, so you had to go up to Seattle where

109
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.759
it rains two hundred and seventy five days out of

110
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:09.079
the year.

111
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:09.839
Yay.

112
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.079
You know what, sometimes after living in an idyllic Caribbean island,

113
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.639
you just want some weather disparity.

114
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:23.079
That's that's your guys' idea of vacationing is going somewhere unpleasant.

115
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.240
Sucks, doesn't it. That's just a really, really rough life

116
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.120
we built for ourselves.

117
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:32.199
Boring.

118
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.399
I just see you guys sitting in Saint John with

119
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.240
like brochures like welcome to Cleveland.

120
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.439
You know what I've I've often wondered, does it really rock?

121
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:44.720
Let's go find out.

122
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.360
How's Columbus this time of year?

123
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:49.720
Has anyone?

124
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.360
Has anyone ever actually been to Dacab Illinois?

125
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.759
You know what I hear is nice this time of year.

126
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:58.360
Flint.

127
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:02.519
We got the water package.

128
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.959
So I'm going to give you a quick idea of

129
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.600
what things have been like in Seattle here since since

130
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.839
we landed. And I'm going to tell you this. We

131
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.399
have been in Seattle for a mere twenty four hours,

132
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.160
and I'm now going to tell you about the things

133
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.040
that I have seen just outside this window. Okay, because

134
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.759
again we've only been here for like twenty four hours.

135
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.680
The only things that we have done since we've been

136
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.720
here was flying to the airport, take an uber to

137
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:38.039
the place we're staying, and we've stayed here unpacked, and

138
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.200
then now I'm doing the show. So just in this morning,

139
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.960
sitting here at this desk, behind this microphone, looking out

140
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.360
the window, I'm now going to tell you the things

141
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.600
that I have seen in Seattle. Okay, these are the

142
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.799
things I've seen in Seattle just staring out this window.

143
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.799
I have seen a German shepherd in a wheelchair. I

144
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.639
saw a girl on her morning walk while smoking her

145
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.600
morning blunt mm hmm. I saw a braless lesbian.

146
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:11.639
Yeah.

147
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.679
I saw a man with hiking poles, a backpack and

148
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:22.720
wearing a surgical mask. Okay, this is a normal residential street.

149
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:23.879
This isn't even in the city.

150
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.960
Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.

151
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:32.919
And now that I've written all this stuff down, the

152
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.519
things I've seen outside my window in Seattle, I have

153
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.080
also come to the realization that I am turning into

154
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.559
the old lady from two to two seven.

155
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:47.240
Please let Tray be Jack Hay.

156
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.639

you're doing remodeling work underneath the roof inside the home

165
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:36.000
as well. And you were telling me just recently that you,

166
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:41.720
Daniel and COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration offer lifetime warranties on

167
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.559
all your work.

168
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:43.039
Yeah.

169
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.600
Dan, that's something that we talked about for a while

170
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.600
now and we decided to go ahead and just pull

171
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.039
the trigger on it. We've had excellent reviews, we've had

172
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.279
excellent referrals. People really love our work when they give

173
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.000
us a chance, and we just want to put our

174
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.759
money where our mouth is. And you know, that's the

175
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.200
best way I can always say that is just back

176
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:01.559
it up.

177
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:02.279
Back it up.

178
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:04.799
When I was growing up and I told somebody who's

179
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.240
gonna kick their ass, you got to back it up. Well,

180
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.279
now that I'm a grown man and we're doing professional

181
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.360
services on people's homes and I tell them that they're

182
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.000
never gonna have a better experience, I'm backing it up.

183
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.720
We're gonna take care of your home because we want

184
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.639
you to have that peace of mind knowing that after

185
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.440
we left, you have the very best product left behind.

186
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.480
Your home is safe, your family's taken care of, and

187
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.679
that you don't have to worry about us not coming back.

188
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.720
You can experience it for yourself, and you can put

189
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.159
your money where Daniel's mouth is and he'll honor it.

190
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.639
As you just heard, even if he dies, he's still

191
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.639
going to honor this stuff. I mean, that's that's some

192
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.240

00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:00.559
Now do your hand like this with so quick side

210
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.480
story our buddy tone Bell, which if you've listened to

211
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.279
this show for any stretch of time, you know we've

212
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:06.600
had him on the radio show. We've had him on

213
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.279
the podcast. Been a friend of ours for many, many years.

214
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.600
And when he made the when he left DFW went

215
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:17.080
to Hollywood to become a star, which he's pretty much done.

216
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.720
One of the times where I've thought to myself, oh,

217
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.559
he's making it is when I saw him doing a

218
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:29.080
scene with Jack A. I forgot what the project was.

219
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:30.360
I don't know if it was a commercial or a

220
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.679
TV show, but he was. He was on a show

221
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.759
pretty sure if I remember this correctly, with jack A,

222
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.480
and I thought, man tones really making it.

223
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.960
Huh. I wonder what that which one that was?

224
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.519
I'd have to look it up. Yeah, But There's been

225
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.039
a number of those times in his Hollywood career where

226
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.840
I've been like, wow, he's doing good. But that was

227
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.399
one of the first ones, was when I saw him

228
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:49.960
doing a project with one of the stars of two

229
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.759
to two sevends like, man, our buddy's doing good.

230
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.279
Yeah. My moment with him was we're in Austin for

231
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:59.399
his birthday because he lives outside of Austin, and we

232
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.879
went to this bar in downtown Austin and Anthony Mackie

233
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.080
joined us, uh, which was very very cool.

234
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.080
You mean you mean New Captain America.

235
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:14.759
Yes, uh, he was, and what a wonderful guy. And

236
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.080
I was like, wow, okay, now that's kind of cool,

237
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:19.320
like and they like tapped it up like they I

238
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.039
was like, all right, this is good. So and then

239
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:22.919
so I got to do the same because we're in

240
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.919
the same clique, in the same crew. Oh yeah yeah,

241
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:31.759
So I felt famous by uh my osmosis and just

242
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.320
just breathing in some of tones by by proximity.

243
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.039
Yes, quick question, this will be so so this will

244
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:41.639
be sort of an impromptu versus so I can find

245
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:51.600
the music real quick. Hey, would you rather uh, well,

246
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.039
hanging out with tone Bell? Would you be more excited

247
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.919
to tap it up with Anthony Mackie the New Captain

248
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.320
America or jack A from two two say.

249
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.000
Oh, that's so hard.

250
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.000
I know. That's why. That's why I'm calling this verses.

251
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:06.879
It's hard.

252
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:08.720
Yeah, I already did the one, so I'll just go

253
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:09.480
with Jack Hey.

254
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.720
Fair enough, that's a that's a good answer. That's a

255
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.000
good answer, Trey. You're in the same boat as me,

256
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.000
which is all right. You're hanging out with Tone, Anthony Mackie,

257
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.399
Jack A from two two seven. They're both gonna you

258
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:23.919
only get to say hi to one of them because

259
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:25.360
they both know Tone. But you only get to hang

260
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:26.840
You only get to say hi to one. Which one

261
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:27.480
are you gonna go with?

262
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.480
H I don't have to go with Captain America.

263
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.120
Yeah, it's the close one that is solid, you know what?

264
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.559
And I if you threw in Marla Gibbs, then I'm

265
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:41.399
going the other direction.

266
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.440
Oh the two on one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm with

267
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:46.559
you there. I think that makes sense. Uh. I too

268
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.919
would have to go with Anthony Mackie because he's the

269
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.159
new Captain America and that's one of my favorite characters.

270
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.879
So I would probably do that, But my younger self

271
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.399
would be very upset because I loved two to two

272
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.360
seven as a kid. Yeah, that show.

273
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.679
That's so weird. That's so weird that you.

274
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.360
Mean a white kid from Oklahoma watching two two seven.

275
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.320
Yes, that is exactly right.

276
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.840
Like that should be a question on Jeopardy like things

277
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.000
you never thought, whatever happened in your lifetime, and that

278
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:14.960
would be the answer.

279
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.000
That would be my ultimate moment is for one that

280
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.279
I'm just on an episode of Jeopardy, and then and

281
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.279
then two there's a there's a whole category where it's

282
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.840
just Oklahoma white kid. I'm like, oh my god, I

283
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:27.200
got this.

284
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:28.279
Now.

285
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.440
The old guy that lives across the street from Tone

286
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:31.879
that's in a trump.

287
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.399
All of them, Yeah, yeah, Jerry.

288
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:39.279
Jerry, Yeah, Jerry, the octogenarian best friend of Tone.

289
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:42.840
Yes, who who got who? They sit outside and and

290
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:47.559
drink Gin and Tonics and yeah uh and Jerry checks on.

291
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:49.320
They're a wonderful couple.

292
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.840
I've met them a few.

293
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.919
Times, you know what? That right there, that should be

294
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.879
the new sitcom from Tone's production company two point zero.

295
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.519
It should be perfect Strangers, Like that's the that's the

296
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.599
that's the show. Because you just if you ever meet Jerry,

297
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.000
which I hope you do, you can look at him

298
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.200
and look right at Tone and go. I don't know

299
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.519
how you guys hang out. I don't understand it. But

300
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.039
jin is a is a miracle worker apparently.

301
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:23.279
So yeah, all right, I want to speaking of pulling

302
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:25.200
things out of our past, like two two seven, there's

303
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.359
something else from the past that I need to pull

304
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:32.640
up because it has become current again. A man died recently.

305
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:36.359
His name is Jack Carlson, and he died at the

306
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.400
age of eighty two the other day. And the man

307
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:43.359
was instrumental not only upon the world, but more specifically

308
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:47.880
upon YouTube. Jack Carlson died this last week at the

309
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.480
age of eighty two, one of the very first YouTube stars.

310
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.960
And I really feel like two thousand and eight was

311
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.799
when YouTube was really really robust and coming into its

312
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:02.519
own because you had things that had happened over the

313
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.799
previous year or two to really kind of bolster it

314
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.519
to make it cool, one of which was Chad Vader,

315
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:10.680
which I love that series. If you have not seen

316
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:13.440
Chad Vader, go watch it. The Retarded Policeman, which is

317
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:17.480
one of Trey's personal favorites, a phenomenal YouTube series. Along

318
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:24.279
with all the other myriad viral sensations that YouTube bred.

319
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:30.079
The Tazon day Chocolate Rain the Sunseed Band talking about

320
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.200
how Jesus is their friend. There's all these videos that

321
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.880
we played with in the old days on YouTube and

322
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.839
on the radio, but there is one that was super

323
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.319
special back then and it is boomeranged now because it's

324
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.839
star has died at the age of eighty two. So

325
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:49.359
what I'm going to do is I'm going to share

326
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.680
with you the star that I'm referring to and see

327
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.519
if you guys can remember Jack Carlson by name. The

328
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:01.480
thing is, though, even if you don't remember him by name,

329
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.720
you are going to remember him by voice and by

330
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:10.400
content of the video that I'm going to share with you. Okay,

331
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.799
all right, So here we go. Here's Jack Carlson all

332
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.079
the way back in the early YouTube days while being

333
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:24.640
arrested in Australia. Ready, can you guys see it? So

334
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:29.480
there's a white man, middle aged, sultan pepper hair mustache,

335
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.480
being led out of either a jail or a courthouse,

336
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:36.440
surrounded by authorities and being put into a police car.

337
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.519
He looks like a drunken captain Kangaroo.

338
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:45.920
Yes, spot on, Trey, spot on, or as they say

339
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:52.359
in Australia, good on you. Yeah. So he's getting out

340
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.799
of the car and now he's being arrested.

341
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:01.720
Just assured, see hand. So at the time you're not

342
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:07.960
as showing any gentlemen.

343
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.119
Is the mach Grose Manifest?

344
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:14.759
Do you recognize it yet?

345
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:15.559
No?

346
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.640
So he's uh pretending to be shocked that he's being

347
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.400
arrested and it is Democracy.

348
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:30.640
Manifest, gentlemen. Is the bach Grose Manifest. Have a look

349
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.519
at the headlock?

350
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:32.680
Ye say that.

351
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:33.519
Chappie with a heil.

352
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:35.759
So it's amazing to me is I don't know what

353
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:37.400
this guy did for a living, but the fact that

354
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.839
he was not a prolific movie trailer voiceover artist is

355
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:49.000
a tragedy. I mean, listen to how he says. Democracy Manifest, gentlemen,

356
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:55.000
is the mach Grose Manifest. And like all things that

357
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:58.200
were great on YouTube and even great today, it goes

358
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:01.400
from something that it seems how eyebar and then immediately

359
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:03.680
drops down the low bar, which is where we live.

360
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.640
Mm hmm.

361
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:07.880
Have a look at the headlock.

362
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:14.640
And here we are.

363
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.519
This is the bike who got me on the fens.

364
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.000
I look, this is where we need to talk to

365
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.720
our friends on the uh down the branch of the

366
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.559
Treehouse Network from Offbeat, the light side of law enforcement

367
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:32.319
and ask one of those officers, have have you guys

368
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:35.480
ever been shoving a suspect or a purp or an

369
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.799
arrestee into a squad car and accidentally grabbed his penis?

370
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:40.599
Is that a thing?

371
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:47.200
I believe it does happen. Uh, there was. There's another

372
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.359
YouTube video with the guys getting fristed. I think it's

373
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:52.400
in his house and they're patting him down and uh

374
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.039
the officer uh doesn't understand what the foreign object is

375
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.480
because it was it was quite large, and he says,

376
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:04.759
what is this and the guy responds, my penis, sir,

377
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:06.960
so very respectable.

378
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:07.599
Yes.

379
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.599
Well, now, keeping in mind I've seen some of those

380
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.960
black dot com videos and they don't always sound that nice.

381
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:15.880
Yeah.

382
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:19.880
Uh, and you know when a police officer has your

383
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:24.279
junk in in in his hands, respect is what you show?

384
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:26.480
Oh yeah, you definitely say, sir.

385
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:32.920
Here's the crost manifest. Have a look at the headlock

386
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:39.039
say that this is the who got me on the fish?

387
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:44.920
Why did you do this?

388
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:50.319
But what what is the jogging occulent China.

389
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:53.400
Headlocks shop?

390
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.759
They can't get him now, this is amazing, and he's

391
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:01.319
still talking. They're really trying you see the cops fate

392
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.359
like the police is really really trying.

393
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.559
You know what, sometimes sometimes after a succulent Chinese meal,

394
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.720
you're just really hard to handle.

395
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:18.400
I say that, you know, I mean, have you.

396
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:21.319
Ever heard someone getting arrested while being so complimentary to

397
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:22.200
the police officers?

398
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.319
It just sounds like this is what I would imagine

399
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.960
if Sean Connery got arrested. This is what he kind

400
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.920
of sad like. He has his moments where he like,

401
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:38.279
it's not Australian, but it's very Sean Connery. Like what

402
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.039
he said, this is democracy manifest.

403
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:40.799
It sounds like.

404
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:46.559
Connery, Oh, and are you waiting to.

405
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:50.720
Receive my lymp out.

406
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:53.839
Of so if you're wondering why he asked that, gentleman,

407
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.680
if he's wanting to receive his olymp penis, that's because

408
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:59.119
of all these guys trying to handcuff him and get

409
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:00.960
him in the back of this car are some guide decides.

410
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:02.279
And I've never seen this, and I've seen a lot

411
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:06.119
of episodes of Cops. Someone jumps into the back seat

412
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.079
of the car ahead of uh, mister Carlson here, and

413
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.480
mister Carlson asks a very poignant question, which is basically,

414
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.599
why are you doing that, but does it in his

415
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:15.680
own special delivery.

416
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:23.400
I guess I see that. You know you're kudo? How

417
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:27.400
are you waiting to receive my Lympus? Out at you?

418
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:35.039
I love this guy.

419
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:38.839
I would have let him go right there, Tata and farewell.

420
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:44.279
Uh uh wow. That is a well rip.

421
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.839
Rip to Jack Carlson, the Australian man behind the Democracy

422
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.640
manifest meme who became a worldwide sensation later in life

423
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.119
after this nineteen ninety one clip of his arrest for

424
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:59.680
consuming a succulent Chinese meal went viral. They reported he

425
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.519
died surrounded by family after battling cancer, hopefully that he

426
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:05.720
did not receive from the succulent.

427
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:08.480
Chineseman they received from MSG.

428
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:13.480
He also had many other health conditions, including systemic inflammatory

429
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.839
response syndrome okay that may have been from the Chinese fur.

430
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.920
He walked a full according to the family. In a statement,

431
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.599
they said he walked a full and colorful path and

432
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:29.440
despite the troubles thrown at him, he lived by his

433
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.400
motto to keep on laughing. I thought his motto was

434
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.839
going to be are you waiting to receive my limp? Penis?

435
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.240
That just sounds like something you hear in a bar.

436
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:46.000
In Dallas at like two am, like people had too

437
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:46.720
much to drink.

438
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.839
He lived long enough to see his son pole vault

439
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.480
in the Olympics.

440
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:58.079
Well you know he died proud.

441
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:01.119
That's my boy.

442
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:07.759
I can go now.

443
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:14.960
You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that treehouseonair

444
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:21.440
dot com.

445
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.359
Let's get Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing into the Treehouse now.

446
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.119
For any and all of your plumbing wants and needs,

447
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.000
give her a call two one, four, three six eight

448
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:31.400
thirty eight thirty eight the website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com.

449
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:34.400
We've talked about this before, Jacqueline, but I always feel

450
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.079
that it bears repeating, and that is someone trying to

451
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:39.440
cut corners when it comes to plumbing. And I will

452
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:41.480
freely admit I've been guilty of this. Our house in

453
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:43.279
the Island, we had a handyman come in do some

454
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:46.359
plumbing stuff and he completely food barred it and we

455
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:48.359
had to have a plumber come in and fix it.

456
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:50.400
And that's mainly because you don't have an office there.

457
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:52.359
But that's why it's so important that if you have

458
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.079
a plumbing issue, whether it's want or a need, to

459
00:26:55.200 --> 00:27:00.519
contact a reputable license bonded, insured plumber for a multitude

460
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:00.960
of reasons.

461
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:04.000
So let me give you an example. I think I'm

462
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:06.119
kind of like the middle ground. We're not a commissioned company.

463
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:07.720
We're not going to sell you something you don't need.

464
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:11.640
We're not going to mark the price up. And the

465
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.319
expression in our office is you're selling the sizzle and

466
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:16.480
not the steak. And like I said, at the end

467
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:17.880
of the day, it's kind of about the meat and

468
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:20.160
the potatoes of the job. Did you do it, did

469
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:23.319
you fix the problem? Did you use the right materials?

470
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.480
And at some point in time you have to ask yourself,

471
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:28.200
if I've got two plumbers that are going to do

472
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:30.000
the exact same scope of work and one of them

473
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:32.799
is almost twice as expensive, am I being sold just

474
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:35.119
the sizzle? And that's what I want to walk away

475
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:37.880
from myself is as a consumer, because I have to

476
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.079
go through that too, because I only do plumbing.

477
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:41.480
But to that.

478
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.680
Point when you're talking about when you're no longer looking

479
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:47.599
for the sizzle and you've moved away from the insanely

480
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.000
high priced people and you're looking for a really good deal,

481
00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.319
Now what you've come down to is you're looking for

482
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:54.759
a very affordably priced plumber, but you also have the

483
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:56.960
option to work with a handyman. And like I said,

484
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.519
there are handymen who can come in and air quotes

485
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.759
fix the problem. But the question becomes do they understand

486
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.839
the eccentricities that we understand. So, for example, we had

487
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:10.680
a house that had been all the hot water lines

488
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.400
had been repiped, but they repiped it with a sort

489
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.799
of pipe that cannot withstand high temperatures, and so it

490
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:21.559
couldn't over a long period of time, withstand the hot

491
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:24.880
water running through it, and so ultimately the fittings on

492
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.039
the pipe where two sections of pipe would come together

493
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.559
kind of melted away, and so they had multiple leaks

494
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.319
all across the house after they had redone this entire house.

495
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.559
And it took my my license technician five minutes in

496
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:38.519
the job because he walked in somebody had already dimmed

497
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:39.880
all the walls open and they said, well, this is

498
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.039
the wrong kind of pipe it you can't use this

499
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:44.720
for hot water. And we asked, you know, how long

500
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:46.440
did it work and they said, oh, it was you know,

501
00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:49.119
a couple months, maybe a year before things just started

502
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.720
literally disintegrating. And they probably got a great price for that.

503
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:54.880
But the problem is is that now they have to

504
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:56.480

dies and then you realize you can actually do a

526
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:09.160
pretty good impression of them. Okay, because uh, I too

527
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:09.839
would like.

528
00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:19.759
We're trying to figure out what movie? What movie character

529
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.319
or actor? He sounds like, Okay, there you go.

530
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:26.559
How not posh? Yeah that's pretty good?

531
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:30.720
Yeah, yeah, okay, that's that's that's he missed his calling.

532
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.160
I mean, which one is.

533
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.680
The Hobbit that touches the crystal ball thing and Gandalf

534
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:38.799
tells him not to don't touch that ball and then

535
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:41.319
he does it anyway. Then Sarron finds him. If I

536
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.000
if I gone too deep into the Tolkien.

537
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:46.920
Stuff, Yeah, I never watched him.

538
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:50.119
You've never watched Lord of the Rings.

539
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:54.880
Not real quick. Trey isn't in the second movie because

540
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:56.519
I never read the books. So all I all I

541
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.000
know is the is the films. Wasn't it in the

542
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:03.880
second movie? Was it Holmes Deep? Is that the keep

543
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:08.720
that they were protecting help Helm's Deep? Oh? One of

544
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.000
the Wi Fi options in the neighborhood is Holmes Deep.

545
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:13.359
Ah.

546
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.799
So now I don't know if it's a Hobbit reference

547
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.079
or a John Holmes reference.

548
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:21.440
John holmes biography.

549
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:25.559
It's just John Holmes doing a bunch of hobbits which

550
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:27.400
imagine the imagine their shock.

551
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:29.400
That was midget porn.

552
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:44.039
Turns out you don't just toss them do There's a

553
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.359
bunch of hobbits climbing the trees. Oh wait, that's just

554
00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:55.359
John Holmes there all right. Uh, another thing to bring

555
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.440
back from the past, which seems to be the running

556
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:02.319
theme of today's episode inside the Treehouse. We all remember

557
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:06.400
the movie Dodgeball, right, rog you've seen Dodgeball at least, yes, Okay,

558
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:09.119
so you know one of the great lines from Dodgeball,

559
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.400
which is of which there are many, but one of

560
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:16.200
the great ones from Patches o'hulahan, the Dodgeball legend, said

561
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.079
that if you can dodge your wrench, you can dodge

562
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:18.440
a ball.

563
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:19.519
Yeah.

564
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:23.920
There are many other dodgeballisms that you know circulate throughout

565
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:25.400
our lives. That's one of them. One of the other

566
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:31.240
ones is Jason Bateman doing color commentary for ESPN the

567
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:38.000
Oat Show, next to Gary, the actor that played the

568
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:44.519
broadcast announcer. It's not coming to me at the top,

569
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:46.799
but his name's Gary and he's also the one from

570
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:51.480
Talladega Knights played Ricky Bobby's dad who was smoking in

571
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:53.160
the school and they told him there's no smokings, that

572
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:59.200
it's okay. I'm a volunteer fireman. Coincidentally, he was also

573
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.440
in a sitcom A Tone, which turns out Tone's done

574
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:02.799
a lot of them, so I guess it makes sense.

575
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:09.480
ESPN the Oho MHM was fake in the movie Dodgeball.

576
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:14.160
It took a number of years, but ESPN finally embraced

577
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:18.799
it and created ESPN the OCHO for real. Yes, now,

578
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:22.119
I didn't realize this until recently. Not only did not

579
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:25.519
only did they embrace it, but they've actually made it

580
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:30.920
an actual channel watchable from ESPN and they do this yearly.

581
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:36.559
You know how there's Shark week there's the OCHO weekend now.

582
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.160
And they do it multiple times a year now.

583
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:41.680
Oh really? Okay, So one of the things I was

584
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:43.720
reading earlier today was that I thought it was just

585
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:44.839
a once a year thing.

586
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.640
No, they've they've really leaned it used to be once

587
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:49.079
a year. Now I think they're doing it two three

588
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:53.279
times a year on slow weekends. Just obviously once the

589
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:56.279
NFL's gone, they especially in the summer that.

590
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:01.920
Yeah, I believe put on news yeah, I believe it was.

591
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:08.239
It was where they started airing the Cornhole Championships was

592
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:11.320
on the show. It's moved, it's it's more mainstream now,

593
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:13.639
but it originally aired on THEO.

594
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.800
That's how it starts.

595
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:15.039
Though.

596
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:20.239
You put something on the show, you give it life. Yeah,

597
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:25.000
and people realize these other sports exist or yeah, and

598
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.440
they become fans and they see these sports. Yeah, that

599
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.119
seem very approachable and regular people like us think I

600
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:34.639
could do that.

601
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:36.480
Yeah, I could.

602
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.519
Play cornhole and and and win.

603
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:40.599
Well, I mean one of the one of the biggest

604
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.239
stars has no arms or legs, So I'm thinking if

605
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.840
you have both of those, then you're pretty much ahead.

606
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:50.360
Of the game, really ahead of the game.

607
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:56.519
I had to laugh at when I said, I'm so

608
00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:58.760
ashamed of you ed and shoulders above everybody else.

609
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:01.920
How is that not his endorsement.

610
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:04.960
Because he can't wash his hair.

611
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:14.239
Look, I'm sure a lot of people told him he

612
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.320
couldn't play cornhole either, and he found a way. I'm

613
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:17.920
sure he could find a way to wash his hair.

614
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:21.559
He's sponsored by bush Bean Inside. I don't know why.

615
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:27.960
Well, that's because he's still got a butthole. Not everything

616
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:33.400
was taken from him.

617
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:36.239
That man has a heart and a colon of gold.

618
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:40.199
Don't ever underst the me.

619
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:43.960
That's how he that's.

620
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:47.960
How he pushes his his The bean backthrough is with

621
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:50.639
a little uh little uh a little back end uh

622
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:51.519
back and help.

623
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.840
Yeah, it's all propulsion from the bush beans. Not only

624
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:58.440
has it served NASA well, it's also served him well

625
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:02.480
in the National corn Hoole League. So ESPN's the OCHO

626
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:07.960
is a real thing. Now it's manifested into reality. And

627
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.639
I saw the other day someone actually posted the programming

628
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:16.480
schedule for it, and I was stunned. And I really

629
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:23.159
can't overstate that enough. Have you guys seen the programming

630
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:24.519
list on the ESPN the ohow?

631
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:25.639
No.

632
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:28.599
I know Trey has seen some because he's sent a

633
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:32.400
couple of screenshots for us. I forgot what one of

634
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:35.679
them was, but it had things trade you have see

635
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:39.400
if you can find that. I remember on there because

636
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:42.639
we talked about it before, which was Slippery Stairs. Trey

637
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:45.800
watched Slippery Stairs. That's a part of the OCHO programming.

638
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:49.039
There was something else that I think Trey you had

639
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:53.719
sent us as well, and we've talked about a couple

640
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:55.599
of them. But then I saw one the other day

641
00:36:56.280 --> 00:37:04.199
that mentioned the twenty twenty four Excel World Championships, and

642
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:06.079
it took me a second because I thought it meant

643
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:13.199
Excel as an Excel at something, not Excel the spreadsheet software. Yes,

644
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:17.960
but it's an honest to goodness Excel Spreadsheet Software World Championships.

645
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:20.400
And I don't even know what to think anymore, because

646
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:24.000
when Dodgeball said it's sport, Dodgeball the movie said it's

647
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:26.400
sport was airing on esp and the OHO at least

648
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:31.119
that had a semblance of competition and sport and athleticism,

649
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:33.239
not realizing that at some point you'd be doing computer

650
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:34.400
software for a trophy.

651
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.119
Yeah, I mean, they have to give another sport for

652
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:42.280
Indian people. So it's the spelling Bee and now this one.

653
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:44.480
So you guys are welcome.

654
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:46.840
It's kind of like, well this is where we shine

655
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:52.960
type of a deal. Yeah yeah, oh, trade you find it.

656
00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:58.440
I'm working on it, okay.

657
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:02.920
Yeah, So I I predict that it'll be one of

658
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:06.480
my people that will win the twenty twenty four Excel

659
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.880
Spreadshet Excel Championships.

660
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.920
All right, we shall see. But we missed it. I mean,

661
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:16.719
the OCHO programming was last weekend. It included fifty four

662
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:20.079
hours of unique obscure sports, including more than twenty one

663
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:24.880
hours of live content. So what were those events which

664
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:29.119
aired on ESPN, ESPN two and the OCHO streaming hub.

665
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:31.679
Here's what the days looked like. On Thursday, it was

666
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:37.800
Minor League Baseball, the Savannah Bananas versus the Party Animals, Yes,

667
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.039
which if you have not seen the Savannah Bananas, they're

668
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:42.760
actually pretty awesome because they will stop in the middle

669
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:46.039
of a game and just do dance videos and stuff

670
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:51.519

But you know it is the Mullet Championship. Is that

706
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.199
like looks or is that the guy driving in his

707
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:18.559
eighty four Chevy pickup like being able to tosh the

708
00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:21.440
bush like can speeding out of the truck into the

709
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:25.840
trash can like yeah, yeah, events? Or is it looks?

710
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.519
No, I understand that makes sense. Yeah?

711
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:29.000
Is it?

712
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:31.480
Is it purely look based or is there a skill

713
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:35.360
based uh function of it? Kind of like the uh

714
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:38.400
Miss America tournament where it's not just the bathing suit,

715
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:40.719
but they also have to talk to them.

716
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:45.599
Yes, uh, they have, they have they have different competitions, right,

717
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:48.519
so they have like a skills and like a swimsuit.

718
00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:51.760
You know what. Actually some of these events sound like

719
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.280
events that would occur during the Mullet Championship. Uh. For example,

720
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:04.599
a ball clash, Battle of the Buoie two National Putting Tour,

721
00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:09.599
the forehand Strike competition, yeah, uh, and then this one

722
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:14.519
certainly Ultimate Tire Wrestling, Yes, And the one I was

723
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:18.000
telling Raj about the other day the car Jujitsu Championship,

724
00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:22.039
which airs on the Ojo. That's where people do jiu

725
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.199
jitsu in a car. I told Raj about this the

726
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:26.679
other day because Russia takes all these things to another level.

727
00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.639
They do a car judo or car jiu jitsu, which

728
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:35.800
is two Russian dudes in in a hatchback wrestling, and

729
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:37.800
I think they amp it up by making him do

730
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:40.000
it inside of a Ford pinto, which you know could

731
00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:40.960
explode at anytime.

732
00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:41.800
Now.

733
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:44.239
In the mullet competition, is there like is there a

734
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:49.079
subdivision for like? Is it like, uh, the angry lesbian division?

735
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:53.920
Who wins? Because I've seen and and I I'm in Mesquite,

736
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:58.639
and let me just say, I have seen at Chili's

737
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:06.119
two very powerful lesbian mullets, So I just don't so

738
00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:09.280
is it open to all genders and races or are

739
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:09.719
we going?

740
00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:13.719
I would imagine is pretty progressive.

741
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:15.760
Okay, because there's an Indian guy at my last show

742
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:18.199
with them. He could have he could have won for

743
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:19.639
International Mullet.

744
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:21.960
I butt I I the lesbian one would be obviously

745
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:23.239
the Super Championships.

746
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:27.400
The winner gets a husky.

747
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:33.039
It really just sells itself.

748
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:38.360

my life's not that bad. So share the show. Good

774
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:16.400
or bad doesn't matter. Someone's going to feel good one

775
00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:19.000
way or another. And I don't know if you can

776
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:22.679
find a better marketing angle than that, So let that

777
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.880
guide you in the Treehouse Treehouse on air dot com,

778
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:30.280
thank you very much. There was a story that came

779
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:32.480
out a couple of weeks ago that I've neglected to

780
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:34.679
tell you, gentlemen, and I apologize for that because I

781
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:36.239
try to stay on top of the news. I try

782
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:38.440
to be as timely as we can, but since we

783
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:40.199
only record a couple of times a week, it can

784
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:43.440
be difficult to stay super current and on top of

785
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:46.880
the latest breaking news and information, right, But I do

786
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:50.440
my best. This, unfortunately, was one of those situations where

787
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:53.679
I failed you, so I apologize. And now that I

788
00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:55.280
say that, now I can't find the photo I was

789
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:56.519
going to read to you, So hang on just a

790
00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:58.199
moment because I got to pull it up because it

791
00:45:58.199 --> 00:45:59.800
was something that my wife sent me a while back,

792
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:02.760
and it is truly alarming. So you guys know all

793
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:05.599
the issues that we have had at home and the islands,

794
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:08.639
with all the power issues, right well, it seems now

795
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:11.960
that the Water and Power Authority of the US Virgin

796
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:16.519
Islands is out for blood. They've had it with everyone complaining, ditching,

797
00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:23.800
moaning about blackouts, doubled and tripled bills even though you

798
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:26.840
didn't have power for most of the month. Anyway, it

799
00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:29.639
really is a huge cluster f in the Islands when

800
00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:33.480
it comes to power generation. And I need to say

801
00:46:33.519 --> 00:46:37.599
it again, I'm sorry or a cut for all the

802
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:40.280
terrible things I've said to you and about you with

803
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:45.000
your grid operation in Texas, because Texans could have it way,

804
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:47.400
way worse. If you're not sure, just come to the

805
00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:51.960
Virgin Islands. That being said, it does appear that the

806
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:54.639
Water and Power Authority is out for blood. And the

807
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:59.199
example I have is thus, two weeks ago, a one

808
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:03.039
hundred year old This is from the Virgin Island Daily News. Okay,

809
00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:06.519
a one hundred year old Saint Thomas Man was trapped

810
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:12.159
sitting upright in an electric bed after the Virgin Islands

811
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:18.800
Water and Power Authority abruptly cut off his power. His

812
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:23.039
daughter said, the centenarian was left to suffer for more

813
00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:28.599
than six hours. This is terrible.

814
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:33.039
This is one of the worst.

815
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:34.320
Stories I've heard in a long time.

816
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:37.840
Oh, I wasn't ready for it.

817
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:43.599
Neither was he. There was only to be in there

818
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:46.039
for a few minutes, just therapies and get out, maybe

819
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:48.840
go outside and enjoy the enjoy the fresh salt air.

820
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:56.719
Maybe go to sibs for one. But he was stuck

821
00:47:56.719 --> 00:47:59.199
in his electric chair because the Water and Power Authority

822
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:00.519
turned off his electricity.

823
00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:05.400
His whole life, he's been waiting for technology to keep advancing.

824
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:07.719
He's like, I can't believe I live to see the

825
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.599
iPhone and then cut to I'm stuck in this.

826
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:15.039
Ef It troubles me to think that somewhere in the

827
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:18.679
Virgin Islands, where all these billionaires and millionaires have socked

828
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:22.039
money away, it wasn't just money. Like somewhere there's a lab,

829
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:24.760
probably in St. Thomas, where they keep the heads of

830
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.239
dead billionaires and part of the reason that they're sustained

831
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:31.840
is through electric power. Meanwhile, wapa's over there playing with

832
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:34.679
the switches. So if they put one of these heads

833
00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:36.679
back on a body in a hundred years. Who knows

834
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:37.719
what we're gonna end up with.

835
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:40.800
Oh my gosh, so finish.

836
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:42.880
This was at the end of the story, because I.

837
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:44.880
Just that's the end of the story. Unfortunately, the Virgin

838
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:48.159
Island Daily News did not publish a follow up story.

839
00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:50.320
I don't know if that man's still stuck in that bed.

840
00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:56.199
He's probably been battling red tape for years to get

841
00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:59.039
that electric hospital bed to make his life easier.

842
00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:02.519
I just want to know.

843
00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:06.880
Liked the power glitch and it just just pushed him forward.

844
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:12.400
So he was just like for six hours of staring

845
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:13.239
at his junk.

846
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:17.079
Well, here's the thing, because it might be it might

847
00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:19.920
be a six hour blackout. But really, with these rolling

848
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:24.559
blackouts in the Virgin Islands, sometimes they're intermittent and they

849
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:26.800
just kind of come out of nowhere. So he may

850
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:29.360
not have just been suspended in this electric chair for

851
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.960
six hours. It might have been jolting him on and

852
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:34.679
off in different positions for the entire six hours.

853
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:38.360
Power flips. Oh, finally goes hit the button.

854
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:42.519
Next thing you know, it looks like doctor Frankenstein. He's

855
00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:44.880
shoving this dude up through the roof and he's being

856
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:48.679
hit by light. He left and right. But yeah, you

857
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:50.719
got that chair from from medicare.

858
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:54.079
It's just a power surgeon that shreats him straight up

859
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:57.400
the stairs faster than he's ever been in his life.

860
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:03.119
Five one hundred years and a power outage. Electric chair

861
00:50:03.400 --> 00:50:03.800
kills you.

862
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:14.079
Well, because he keeps reviving. It really is one of

863
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.320
the cases that it really is one of the best

864
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:18.039
cases of careful what you wish for.

865
00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:21.280
I wish this thing would move faster.

866
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:25.039
He's killing me.

867
00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:33.159
Well, it keeps killing you, but it keeps bringing you back. Oh,

868
00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:38.639
I live on an island this day, it's beautiful. The

869
00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:40.639
good news is when he got shot through the roof,

870
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:41.880
he can see the beaches.

871
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:45.360
There's my boat.

872
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:50.159
Oh God, all right, thanks for hanging out with us

873
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:52.480
inside the treehouse. We appreciate it. Again. You like what

874
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:54.239
you heard, Send it to a friend, and if you didn't,

875
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:55.880
then I don't know what's wrong with you. But send

876
00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:57.639
it to them anyway. I'm gonna try to find this

877
00:50:57.679 --> 00:50:59.360
guy in Saint Thomas and send it to him. He'll

878
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:02.840
feel better. Oh, I'll see you next time in the treout.

879
00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:05.119
Also send that to the oho.

880
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:12.960
Oh yeah, that's a new competent. Brazis brought to You
