More Tree House Story for November 21st, 2024 · The Radio From Hell Show - Best Of

  Speaker 1: So earlier we were talking about Mohammed, my son, not
• 0:05
  the prophet, and how he does things sometimes that I
• 0:09
  am simultaneously proud and or concerned about. And he and
• 0:14
  his friends, unbeknownst to me, were building a treehouse in
• 0:20
  the forest in not private property, and he was upset
• 0:26
  because somebody were guessing, either the Forest Service or the BLM,
• 0:30
  found it and tore it down.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Not hammering nails into an innocent tree on public lands.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and a big five story treehouse. And you've got
• 0:42
  pictures of it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: He sent me a picture. He said he didn't get
• 0:46
  a picture of it completed. This is mid construction of
• 0:50
  the treehouse. If you go to x ninety six dot
• 0:53
  com slash live.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: He said, he's a series of platforms and stairs.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he said he'd never you know, if if
• 1:00
  they hadn't, if the man hadn't torn down the tree house,
• 1:03
  he would have had a picture of it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: But I've got a book for him to read. It's
• 1:07
  called The Monkey Wrench Gang. It's you know, stuff that
• 1:11
  you did that that your parents really don't know you're doing, and.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: That's a that's.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: The beginning of some pretty solid construction. Yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were pretty proud of it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Apparently you never did anything like that.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: No, And this is why I'm saying I admire Mohammed
• 1:32
  in a lot of ways because he's he's he's adventure boy.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: He takes the bull by the horns.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he lives a very full, full life and
• 1:44
  he's willing to try things.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And and my mother probably I don't think she ever
• 1:49
  knew that. We used to go up to uh, Ricky
• 1:53
  Satathwaite's house and he had a tote goat, one of
• 1:56
  those scooters, and what we would do is he would
• 2:00
  get on the toe goat and we would play like bullfighting,
• 2:04
  so we would all he tried to run us down essentially,
• 2:08
  and we would all, you know, dodge him. And that
• 2:11
  was great fun for some reason, to see if we
• 2:13
  could dodge Ricky coming at us full speed.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But you your mom would have been horrified if she
• 2:19
  knew you were doing that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Or we'd build we'd build hot rods, you know,
• 2:23
  with a wheelbarrow tires and you steer him with a
• 2:29
  rope in your feet and then you and then you
• 2:32
  go down. You go down. Get it way up at
• 2:35
  the top of Third Street and you go down, clear
• 2:37
  down the bottom. But there's a poke avenue runs there,
• 2:41
  and it's there are no stop signs, so you'd have
• 2:43
  to have somebody stationed there, and if there's a car coming,
• 2:46
  you'd have to you know, hurry and turn off into
• 2:48
  somebody's driveway. That's you know, danger fun fun. Yeah, my
• 2:53
  mother never knew we were doing that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: My parents knew I did all those things.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Finally, when I got a little older, I began to
• 3:04
  do things that I felt that I compelled to confess to. So,
• 3:10
  like the first time I ever smoked marijuana, I went home,
• 3:14
  I don't know.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Stupid, She's gonna know, so I'm going to head it
• 3:19
  off at the past.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Well, it was it was funny because it was a
• 3:22
  I wanted to tell her because it was a remarkable experience,
• 3:25
  and I wanted to share it with her. That's I mean, really,
• 3:27
  that's the reason. And she was pretty upset by But
• 3:32
  then by about a year later, we were all up
• 3:35
  in the my friends and I were up in the canyon.
• 3:38
  We used to go up there and we'd build a
• 3:40
  fire and make stew and sit around the fire and
• 3:43
  eat stew. And my mom decided she wanted to come.
• 3:45
  It was up south fork, you know, wanted to come for.
• 3:48
  She wanted to come and have stew. We call it
• 3:50
  dirt stew. We'd make dirt stew because we it was
• 3:53
  really good, but we would always just ceremonial. Ceremonial, you
• 3:56
  take a little tiny pinch of dirt from the camp
• 3:59
  and drop it into the stew, like on purpose. I thought.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I thought, sometimes that accidentally happened camping Army pepper.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: That's army pepper. That's right, that's just army peppers. No problem.
• 4:13
  I first heard that camping too from Scott Gary's dad.
• 4:16
  I don't worry about that. That's just army pepper. But
• 4:18
  so we're up there with my mom and somebody decides
• 4:21
  they want to smoke some marijuana and my mother and
• 4:24
  they knew your mom was there, and my mother joined in,
• 4:27
  Oh really yeah, did that surprise you kind kind of?
• 4:32
  I said we're going to do this, and she said, well,
• 4:34
  i'd like to try. I'd like to try. I said, Mom,
• 4:38
  you know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: She didn't go there for the stew.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Well she did something.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: No, she didn't confess. I'm not here for the stew.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: She didn't go there for the marijuana.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: And I'm not here for the stew.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: She I said, Mom, we can't have you do that,
• 4:57
  and you don't smoke, and she said, I used to
• 4:59
  smoke when I was in college. I know how to smoke,
• 5:02
  so so she did, and she said she kept saying,
• 5:06
  I don't feel anything. And then she just got sillier
• 5:09
  and sillier and laughing and laughing and kept saying I
• 5:12
  don't feel anything. And we said, Mom, you're you're there, Mom,
• 5:16
  you're stoned. No, not, no, it was weird.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: We're gonna make a new strain of marijuana and call
• 5:25
  it dirt stew.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: If you know, you know, you know, you know, Armie pepper,
• 5:32
  That's what that is.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Mohammad also wants to do this thing where you start
• 5:39
  in Patagonia, mm hmm.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And you and you which Patagonia? Which store the one
• 5:46
  in sugar the.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: The end of the world?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, oh okay.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: He wants to hike from Patagonia all the way up
• 5:55
  to Alaska.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It's like a it's called the trans something trail.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, my my friend Jan was going to do that
• 6:01
  on a motorcycle.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's he's deadly serious about it, and I.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe I had to introduce him to one and they
• 6:09
  could do it on motorcycles.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I could totally see him doing.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: This, because that's a that's a that's a long walk,
• 6:15
  that's many many months, that's that's more than a year.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Most people, most people kind of break it up, you know,
• 6:23
  they'll do part of it and then they'll change, and
• 6:26
  then they'll go back, and then they'll stop, and then
• 6:28
  they'll go back to where they stopped and continue.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And he and Joe, my husband, are are wanted to
• 6:33
  do the Appalachian Trail.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I was. I always kind of wanted to do that. Yeah,
• 6:39
  And I think the trail of the or the pike
• 6:41
  you're talking about. It joins up at like the Pacific
• 6:44
  Crest Trail maybe, yeah, and goes all the way up. Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well a Texter fop Hollys jin Or please remind
• 6:53
  Mohammed because she saw the picture. Yeah, that if he
• 6:56
  attempts to build a treehouse between multiple trees. In the future,
• 7:00
  we get high winds in Utah which makes the trees
• 7:03
  sway and the support beams of the platforms could be compromised. Oh,
• 7:08
  falling hazards are possible. Wishing you safe building.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You remember our old friend Ben Engineer, Yeah, he hiked
• 7:15
  the Appalachia Trail with his with his wife. How long
• 7:18
  did that take them, I don't know. I just remember
• 7:20
  hearing from them on when they were on the trail.
• 7:26
  You can and it's you can do it in I
• 7:30
  think if you do the whole thing, you can do
• 7:31
  it in a couple of months.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Is there a senator or a congressman that was hiking.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's the guy who had He said he
