  Speaker 1: So, Mohammed, my son, not the prophet.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: What are you going to start talking about the prophet?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: He often does things where I simultaneously am proud and
• 0:15
  also concerned horrified. My example of that you might remember
• 0:23
  when Festus was in town, Mohammad wanted to go camping
• 0:28
  with friends and I said, that's fine, you just need
• 0:30
  to be home in time for this day. Your brother's
• 0:33
  going to be here, and he said, oh, I will
• 0:35
  be And he didn't realize till after they left to
• 0:38
  go up to Yellowstone that he wasn't going to be
• 0:40
  home in time, and he just on his own booked
• 0:43
  a flight from the Yellowstone Report. So simultaneously I'm like.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I'm glad he's got disposable income too well.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: He used his he knew he had miles the sky
• 0:55
  miles and he booked it with that, so simultaneously proud
• 1:00
  of him for his ingenuity, but also what are you thinking?
• 1:04
  So we had another one of those last night at
• 1:07
  the dinner table, and I'm not sure how it came up,
• 1:11
  but he told us that he and his friends have
• 1:14
  over the past month or two been building a tree
• 1:20
  house that I thought was in his friend's backyard. It
• 1:26
  wasn't it was. I won't tell you where it is,
• 1:29
  but it was in the forest, in the forest, not
• 1:32
  on private property in the forest.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: What why won't you say where it is?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want him to get in trouble because it
• 1:41
  well is it?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, is he breaking some laws?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure? And he's telling us. And he was upset
• 1:48
  because he's like, well, somebody found our tree house and
• 1:53
  tore it down. And I said, well, wasn't that in
• 1:56
  your friend's backyard? He said, oh no, it was up
• 2:00
  in such a canyon. They have for the past two
• 2:03
  months been going to home depot and buying wood and
• 2:07
  hauling it up the canyon and building. And I said, well,
• 2:11
  what what how big was it that you built? And
• 2:13
  he said it was a five story treehouse. He gets
• 2:16
  out his phone.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see the five I'd like to send pictures.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I should have mohammed send them in. I
• 2:25
  didn't know I was going to talk about it. I'll
• 2:27
  get some tonight and all five story tree house up
• 2:32
  in the woods that they have just been.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And he's someone tore it down.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Well, probably I'm guessing it's the Forest Service or.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Something, the LM or something you can't do that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So, like I said, simultaneously, I think that's cool you
• 2:48
  can build a five story treehouse, but also horrified that
• 2:54
  you were in the forest.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: We need we need.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: To see this.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, we send send the pictures and Katie'll get them
• 3:01
  up on the TriCaster.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I did with my friends did a similar thing when
• 3:04
  we were probably probably twelve thirteen something like that. There
• 3:09
  was a huge tree and we said, let's build a
• 3:12
  treehouse in that tree. And it was very close to
• 3:14
  our houses, and we built this really nice. It wasn't
• 3:18
  five stories, but it was a great big platform and
• 3:21
  then we put a railing around and all of that,
• 3:24
  and there was a trapdoor that you'd go up the
• 3:26
  climb up the ladder and go up through the trap
• 3:29
  door and it was really great until the owner of
• 3:32
  the tree said, I wait a minute, what are you doing.
• 3:36
  I can't you know. Apparently they didn't notice we were
• 3:39
  doing it for it because it took about a week.
• 3:41
  Maybe I don't remember. They were out of town or something.
• 3:43
  But it wasn't on our property. It was on a
• 3:46
  neighbor's property. No no, no, no, no, you guys, And
• 3:49
  they made us go up and tear it down as
• 3:52
  a text.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Back in the nineties, we had a cabin that my
• 3:55
  friend's older brothers built up in the mountains about a
• 3:58
  decade later for a service to it. Now, yeah, Sega
• 4:02
  was a fire hazard. Yeah you can't just go building,
• 4:05
  just go building.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But in you know, he he could be in the
• 4:09
  basement playing video games. But he and his friends like.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Well, he does that too, doesn't he.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, he mostly would prefer to be out doing
• 4:17
  stuff like this, but just casually telling me about And
• 4:22
  then he said, because we were asking him, you know,
• 4:24
  what sort of things are you doing with your friends
• 4:26
  when you're not you know, building three houses? And he says, well,
• 4:30
  we like to go drive around the Bonneville golf course
• 4:34
  because they are usually eighth graders there throwing water balloons
• 4:39
  at cars, and we like to go and have them
• 4:42
  throw water balloon at us. And then now that we're
• 4:44
  big high school guys with deep voices, we like to
• 4:46
  get out and yell at the eighth graders for throwing
• 4:48
  water balloons at cars. And I said, how how do
• 4:53
  you know that this is something that the eighth graders do?
• 4:55
  And he said, well, because when we were in eighth grade,
• 4:57
  we used to do it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And se it's a tradition.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: He's like, no, it's fine, everybody. That's not fine.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I used to throw snowballs at cars until I got
• 5:10
  into some serious trouble for that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And I said, I can't believe I didn't know you did.
• 5:14
  And he said, aren't you glad you didn't know that
• 5:16
  I was doing that at the time?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Whoa, I hmm? So much? Yeah, so much to unpacked?
• 5:25
  Here are they going to rebuild the treehouse at a
• 5:29
  legal place?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I would not be surprised. Fine, they always have to have.
• 5:34
  His point was he and his friends like to have projects.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: They like to you know, even if it's a simple project,
• 5:40
  like yelling at eighth graders, that's our project.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Well, what happened to the car detailed project? Because that's
• 5:48
  that's something that I needed, something that he could do.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I've already deleted it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's it will come back in the summer.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I am told, all right, well, did you did we
• 6:00
  get the pictures?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I want to see them.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Oh no, he's at school.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Oh he didn't send them.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: No, I'll get him. No, No, I'll get them from
• 6:07
  them today.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to see this.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I want to see what kind of a quality construction.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: It was. I wonder how much money they were out buying.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: That's what he was mostly mad about is that they
• 6:20
  had bought.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Wood to make it with. Can't be cheapd We scavenged
• 6:24
  the wood from somewhere exactly. I think there was, you know,
• 6:28
  there was there were a lot of building sites that
• 6:30
  it was a new subdivision and houses going up, so
• 6:33
  we'd go steal lumber from the from various building sites.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Well, where I grew up, there were wood piles all
• 6:40
  over the place, So you're just going steal from somebody's
• 6:43
  wood pile.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Oh God,
