It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the tree
0:30
House episode one oh three, I'm Dan, O'Malley, along with Trade Trendholm
0:35
and Raj Sharma my continued quest to find the piece of playground equipment that brutalized
0:45
me as a four slash five year old. We dug a little deeper into
0:53

1:06
I shared a little bit of my rich history as a human on this planet
1:11
with Raj and Trey and where I went to kindergarten. And in case you
1:19
don't know, I am not a native Texan technically according to my certificate of
1:26
live birth, because like Obama, I don't have a real birth certificate.
1:30
According to my certificate of live birth as an adopted kid, I was born
1:36
in Tulsa, Oklahoma and lived there with my family technically north of Tulsa,
1:44
saying technically a lot in between the towns of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Anda,
1:49
Oklahoma. I realize it sounds like I'm making half this stuff up, but
1:53
I swear to you it is true. You can look at it. It's
1:56
on maps. So we lived in the country in between Bartlesville and no Wa.
2:00
We went to work in school in Bartlesville and it was there at Phil
2:06
Wesleyan School where I attended not just kindergarten but also pre kindergarten. Did you
2:13
say Phil phil Wesleyan Because that makes a lot more sense. Right there,
2:27
this here for you, Trey. Right there, right there, there's a
2:34
the uncle Phil's house, take care autumn, we break for kids. Oh,
2:49
they don't rush us right over. Anyways, this is what happens.
2:58
You need things about about your life with your best friends, is they make
3:01
funny before the last question, before you ever went out to play with there
3:06
for like a group of adults and they were just throwing cash down on the
3:08
ground saying I got that one in the red hat. You know what?
3:16
That through the obstacle. Course, as as harsh of an example that is,
3:24
Trey, you may be onto something because as I really think back on
3:29
my childhood, it really does it with some sort of underground kids fight club
3:34
going on. That's the only kindergarten with the release brokeram because one of the
3:45
other stories I told you about in the Treehouse Plus episode was the time we
3:49
were playing tag and we were playing inside in a portion of the school that
3:54
was under construction because they let us do that, and I got sprayed in
3:59
the eyes with some type of chemical. Yeah, I mean, you called
4:02
it chase, they called it the Hunger Games. Whatever you wanted to do.
4:08
And I'm really starting to think that you guys may be onto something here.
4:11
And this is why it's important to be released into the world, so
4:15
you know that different kids did grow up the same way you did, and
4:23
in fact may not have known that that there were odds and they may not
4:28
have been in my favor. Your poor parents had to d program you.
4:35
He just keeps running at the wall. So I did a quick image search
4:43
on the school that I went to preschool in kindergarten at, and that was
4:47
that Bartlesville Wesleyan School in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. And uh, because if it's
4:57
possible, does that piece of playground quick meant that I hit my head on
5:01
still exists. It'll be in one of these image searches. I would,
5:04
I would think, but I don't think I got tucky because when I did
5:13
an image search for Bartlespool Wesleyan School, you know, some of the pictures
5:17
that pop up look familiar, like, okay, yeah, that's definitely where
5:20
I went to kindergarten. Like this one here on the on the far left,
5:24
Wesleyan Christian School top brink did something it cuts off, but that that's
5:29
the school. That's where I got dropped off at for kindergarten. Okay,
5:33
kind of looks like a compound, did it Did it say Wesleyan or was
5:40
it Branch Davidian? No, it was it was wesley And actually if you
5:46
look at the it's kind of hard to see in this photo, but in
5:49
this photo here that in the back right corner, that little triang So the
5:54
front building looks a little institutional, I'll admit that. But the back building
6:00
back there a cursor, it's got a little uh you know, it's got
6:03
a peak on it. It looks sort of normal ish. That was where
6:06
the preschool was, away from the main compound. Yeah. And if you
6:13
look at this far right photo over here there it is from the backside,
6:15
it's that so that's kind of the churchy area. And that was in there
6:19
was I remember was the indoor playground, which now I realize was an odd
6:25
thing, because when I eventually went to normal schools in Texas, not one
6:30
of them that I went to, and I went to a handful, not
6:32
one of them had an indoor playground. One that I went to kindergarten ata
6:39
nor the air quotes, teachers and white lab coats and clipboards. You're the
6:47
only preschool where the kids have to clock in and when your name is written
6:57
up on the board, there's odds next to it. But yeah, so
7:04
when I scrolled down and I start looking at some of these other photos,
7:08
like there's some of the of the Wesleyan University that's there. I didn't go
7:12
there, but like, some of these other photos look familiar, Like this
7:15
one here, I remember that part of the school looks like a barn cover.
7:20
That's the building where I first learned about Super Mario Brothers. Were they
7:26
making you because they were giving you mushrooms? Is that getting point on the
7:30
head and making us replumb the dungeon? No, constantly fighting turtles. But
7:42
yeah, some of these look familiar. Some of them don't. Obviously,
7:45
the schools I guess dated to a certain extent since I went there, But
7:48
yeah, I couldn't find any photos of any playground equipment. Sorry, all
7:54
the way on the all the way on the right. M h, what
7:58
is that? Is that part of your school? What does that say?
8:01
Visit Bartlesville, La Foster Mansion. I told you there was a work release.
8:11
See when they say lakinta foster mansion, I hope they don't mean foster
8:16
kids. I would think that's what it's for. I mean, I never,
8:22
I never. I never made it into that building. Level four.
8:33
Level four was housekeeping. Look, foster mansion. Jeez, the laquinda.
8:45
What can we can we find out what what that is? It looks like
8:52
it's a lakinta where they kept the foster kids. Uh. This says it's
8:56
part of the Oklahoma Wesleyan University campus. This is where you stayed. I
9:05
didn't stay there. Oh I never made it to that. Only the good
9:13
kids stay there. I'm guessing. So he got the he got the super
9:18
EIGHTE Foster Hut. This is another moment to say that on occasion, it's
9:28
good to watch this show because then you can see what I'm what I'm giving
9:33
their high school slogan, We'll leave the light on for you I'm more listening
9:43
to the Treehouse visits online that Treehouse on air dot com. Let's get Jacqueline
9:56
from Brooks Plumbing into the Treehouse now for Indian all of your plumbing once and
10:00
needs to give for a call to one fourth three six eight thirty eight thirty
10:03
eight the website Brooks Plumbingtexas dot com. I was talking to Daniel Cook from
10:07
cook Dfwroofing Restoration about this. I wanted to throw this at you as well.
10:11
What's more important the best contractor or the best deal. If Daniel thinks
10:16
at all like me, I'm gonna guess what his answer is, which would
10:18
be identical to mine. And there's an old saying that you can get a
10:24
contractor that's fast, cheap and good or a high quality, and you can
10:30
typically get two out of three, but you can't get all three at the
10:31
same time. So you may be able to get it fast and cheap,
10:33
but it won't be good. And you might be able to get it fast
10:37
and good, but it won't be cheap, et cetera, et cetera.
10:39
And I think that's really true. What's cool, in my opinion is that
10:46
if you're working with a good contractor if you're clear enough about what your needs
10:52
are, they can make themselves what you need. Two one, four,

11:52
childhood compared to compared to you, guys, Trey, how's your back?
12:00
I know that's been bothering you lately. Uh, slowly getting better. I
12:05
can almost touch my toes again. Coming from someone that also experiences back problems,
12:13
I understand that discomfort and pain, and I feel for you because you've
12:18
got sciatica right, Yes, I do, I have psiatica. This one's
12:24
this one's different though it's a just right smack dab in the middle of my
12:28
back. I may go see a chiropractice if it's something they can popp or
12:33
wiggle out. If that doesn't work, I have a physical therapist for to
12:39
try. Okay, the methods might be a little unorthodox to something that you've
12:46
done before, but I know that with back issues you'll try pretty much anything
12:50
to see if it works. Right. Yes, So here's her contact info
12:54
for the new physical for you, and you gotta give him that huck dude,
13:00
spend all that night. Like I said, some of the modalities and
13:03
the methodologies might be a little unorthodox, but I say give it a whirl.
13:09
H It's a continuing education program that you have you been doing anything else
13:16
for your back? Trying to yoga? Mm? Yeah, all right,
13:24
that's uh. I'm I'm I'm Indian and I don't even do that. Uh
13:30
we invented it. I do know that when you've got back problems, and
13:35
you've had back problems long enough, you will try just about anything and everything
13:43
up to like, especially if you're trying to avoid you know, surgery,
13:46
you'll try pretty much everything physical therapy, a chiropractor, stretching, whatever else
13:52
there might be, accu acu pressure, acupuncture, I've tried that, cupping,
13:58
I've tried that. And to be honest with you, Trey, I
14:03
too have tried yoga at different times, gotcha. Yeah, I'm there's some
14:09
times where I'm really glad there aren't cameras around, and me trying to do
14:13
yoga is one of them. Yeah, because because you know, it's a
14:16
So I found this YouTube channel, you know, Yoga with Adrian and uh
14:20
oh yeah, the lady with the dog. Yeah yeah, And I almost
14:24
said I've done it with her, but no, I mean I've I've I've
14:28
watched and done yoga along with her. Yeah. It's uh you know.
14:33
But the the problems is is even when they talk about, oh, yoga
14:37
for beginners, they still expect you to have a certain knowledge that you know,
14:41
I simply don't possess. So it's a and a certain level of flexibility.
14:46
Yeah. Yeah, it's like a demented game of twister at times.
14:50
So that actually is a perfect description to my first time trying yoga. So
14:56
what I should have done, was, like you did, Trey, start
14:58
with you yoga with the Yoga with Adrian type of thing instead. Back when
15:05
my now wife and I first met and we had first moved in together,
15:09
we were doing P ninety X. And I don't know if you guys realize
15:13
this, but one of the one of the DVDs P ninety X was yoga,
15:20
and the P ninety X dudes don't do anything half assed, So the
15:24
P ninety X yoga was not gentle. There was no easing into it.
15:28
It was like an hour and a half hardcore yoga session. And around the
15:35
thirty thirty five minute mark, I got stuck. And I'm not exaggerating this.
15:41
The position that we were supposed to be in was like you get into
15:46
a lunge right, so you've got the knee bent on the front, your
15:48
back leg is straight. That's easy enough, I can, but then I
15:54
had so I had my right leg forward, left leg back, and then
15:58
you put your hands together like you're praying. It worked, which made sense
16:00
because I was. And then you were supposed to twist your upper body and
16:07
put this elbow outside party of your leg that's sticking out front. So they're
16:11
calling like a lunge with a prayer twist or something. All I know is
16:15
I hiccuped or something. As soon as I got into the position as best
16:19
as I possibly could, and then I couldn't move. I just stuck.
16:22
I got stuck. I couldn't unclench. See what my lovely wife did to
16:29
help me out of that position. She just took her finger, put it
16:32
on my shoulder and just tipped me on over. Isn't that like an like
16:37
a Warrior three is not the stance. I don't know that you were in.
16:42
I think the Warrior three is with me. Did you get physically stuck
16:45
or was like a flashback to your childhood if you're stuck in the box with
16:49
praying. Maybe it was a combination of the two. It makes sense.
16:56
Yoga will bring out the demons deep inside you. Yeah, and I love
17:00
I mean and and you know, for for the West to take on yoga's
17:06
is so wonderful, But then you always have to get that one group of
17:08
white folks that's like, let's make it extreme. I'm like, extreme and
17:11
yoga don't really go in the same I must. Yeah. So the fact
17:22
that P ninety X, which is to as my friend Greg barn said,
17:26
is the only DVD that you would use to want to get prison strong,
17:33
That's what that's what it came out like at the end of the ninety takes,
17:37
you were ready to jail house fight. So yoga to that, it's
17:44
just hilarious to me. There was something terrifying though, in the realization that
17:49
I was doing and I should say attempting yoga and I got and as after
17:56
my wife pushed me over, which technically worked, it got me unstuck.
18:00
It just didn't feel like the sweetest way to go about it. I thought
18:06
to myself, if my younger self were watching me right now, no,
18:11
embarrassed, really yeah, like that not the younger you that ran headfirst into
18:18
a building. Now that that one wouldn't have understood. Uh No, more
18:22
like more like teenager, like high school age. You know, like when
18:26
in your high school maybe maybe person of college age, where you think you
18:32
know everything at the whole teenager mentality, you think you know everything, you
18:34
know more than everybody else, You think you're you're you're indestructible, all that
18:38
type of stuff, gotcha. Okay, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
18:45
And that was really one of the moments that adult life where I would
18:48
have been embarrassed in front of my younger self. Interesting, okay, just
18:52
for the the for getting stuck in the yoga post. Yes, yeah,
18:56
okay, yeah. I my ex is a yoga instructor, my ex ex
19:03
girlfriend and you remember her. Yeah, she is a yoga instructor. And
19:07
when we were we lived in California, she invited me to take yoga with
19:11
her and I realized I was the only Indian person in that class, and
19:14
I was like, I gotta gotta rep my people. And about four minutes
19:19
in I left. Uh so you basically just signed in and left? What's
19:27
the lights went down? No? No, I mean we got the we
19:30
it was hot yoga and uh or as they call it India yoga. Uh,
19:41
it was hot yoga. And at the four minute mark, I don't
19:45
know what same thing, don't know what position I was in, but I
19:48
did say out loud and I was told shush because she was next to me.
19:52
I was like, I can't do this and I was told to shush
19:56
and I was like, well, fu, I'm leaving, and I left.
20:02
I just went and sat outside. I think I went to a CBS
20:06
and got like a like a six pack of beer and just wait wait for
20:11
everybody else to get out. But yeah, I was over. I was
20:12
done that was my last foray into yoga. Would have been perfect if you
20:17
went over to the CVS and picked up a six pack. If not,
20:18
must stay I p a with that shirt that just now, I must stay
20:26
here and drink tray. Have you ever had that moment where as an adult
20:32
thing and thought my younger self would be really embarrassed. Oh, every every
20:37
day of my life. I mean from the fact I don't drink anymore to
20:44
go that I need glasses to read anything. I used to bust my dad's
20:48
balls on that, or especially god, my younger self would get up and
20:52
leave when I have to pull my phone out at the restaurant to look at
20:56
the menu to use the flashlight. Yeah, that's a good one. Uh.
21:00
Or do you have the app, the reader app? So in case
21:03
you forgot your readers, you can use the app and you can magnify.
21:07
So no, I did not know of this. Yeah, it's it's it's
21:10
well now, Well, now it sounds like you're about to get something new
21:11
that your younger self is embarrassed about. Yeah. I think the younger self
21:15
being embarrassed is the first time I went into a club and I was like,
21:18
it is so loud, that's when like twenty one year old me would
21:23
have been like, you're a bitch walking into a Metallica show asking where the
21:30
where you can buy some earplugs. That's the drowning pool. The first thing
21:34
I did was ask for ear plugs. People ready to rock out them like
21:41
it's they're very loud musicians. Yeah, or as I'm climbing, I'm climbing
21:45
in bed at nine o'clock. My younger self would just hang their head in
21:48
shame and just and just run away. Yeah, because Core at nine pm
21:56
was just thinking about pregaming, not even the night yet. Oh yeah,
22:03
that is true. I remember leaving. We would leave to go to the
22:06
club at like eleven pm. That's that was the time to go out.
22:11
Yeah, they is now at eleven pm. That's when I wake up to
22:15
take my first p I wish that wasn't true, But it's visit us online
22:29
at freehouse on air dot com eight three three cook df W. That's the
22:42
phone number to call cook df W Roofing and Restoration for your free roof inspection.
22:48
And that's the number you call to get on what I am calling the
22:52
cook list. The cook list is the list that you can get on where
22:56
Daniel and carry Cook will call you once per year and schedule you for that
23:00
free roof inspection. We'll call you and they'll walk around your property take a
23:03
look at any issues may have as well. Now, speaking of walking around
23:07
and being on roofs Daniel, I saw a story the other day about a
23:12
lobster lady from Maine who still works runs her own boat. She's one hundred
23:18
and four years old and says, I'm still the boss. I couldn't help
23:22
but think of you and wonder at one hundred and four, if Daniel makes
23:27
it to that glorious age, is he's still going to be up on the
23:30
roof saying I'm the boss? Uh, part of me saying absolutely not.
23:34
But then in the back of my head I can see that I'm probably want
23:38
to do something and within working and still because the worst thing if you make
23:45
it to one hundred four, God bless you, first of all, my
23:47
goodness. Second of all, I've read so many articles and I've seen I've
23:52
seen this firsthand. When you kind of stop in your age and you stop
23:56
getting out and you stop having us you know things to do and having you
24:00
know the same you know items that you are used to having to. I
24:04
think your body just shuts down, and I don't think it's good for you.
24:07
And hey, I pulled this lady. She's out here hustling every day,
24:11
still making an item to go out and work and keep her systems working.
24:18
I mean, heck again, God bless her man me. I don't
24:22
know the roofs. So that's a difficult deal. Then that's true. I
24:23
did. I did take into account industry. She's on a boat on the
24:27
water. No, lobstering is not easy. No, but she's also not
24:32
up on roofs every day. Yeah. Now, hey, maybe maybe I
24:34
just go and walk around the projects with my part with my PMS at that
24:38
time, and maybe I'll introduce myself to some clients, you know, oversee
24:44
some projects. I could see that being something you could do in a hundred
24:47

Padre Island during fourth of July weekend. Yeah, m the whole kept waiting

26:19
wasn't based on the photos. A couple of the photos I saw, Yeah

26:27
a dude or whatever. I saw somebody's leg in from one of the shark
26:33
attacks. Who no longer had a calf, like the bone was still there,
26:37
but a chunk was taken out of her calf. Yeah. I saw
26:42
some of like some footage of people that were just filming the water and every
26:48
wave that came in you could see the sharks, which means don't don't go
26:52
in the water. Yeah. Yeah, they haven't many movies telling you about
26:56
that. Brought you four four in the same day. We're travels, like,

27:18
she will go to visit him in Venice Beach and she always gets in the
27:22
water and he is only he says, he goes ankle deep and that's as
27:26
far as he will go into the ocean. And she always yells at him.
27:29
She's like, you're just such a baby. That's you know, shark
27:32
attacks are rare. He goes where you are rare where I am. Never
27:38
hard to argue with that, especially if if you were swimming in the water
27:42
around Padre Island over the weekend. I mean, it really is like four.
27:47
I'm sorry, one one in one day. I'm not I'm not going
27:52
in past past my ankles. I will revert to five year old me going
27:56
to the beach for the very first time on a family vacation and probably neglectfully
28:02
so and definitely irresponsibly. So I was allowed to watch Jaws at that age.
28:07
I did not go in the ocean past my ankles. I was so
28:10
scared. All I did was un hang on on the beach and collect seashells.
28:15
That's when childhood. You is sad about childhood you it's not even a
28:22
DoPT you know, that's just sad. Yeah, I just never. I
28:29
don't understand the ocean. I don't understand why you need a skydive. I
28:33
don't understand any of that stuff. Like you'll never hear you'll never see the
28:37
headline comedian rash Arma attacked by shark. Never unless it unless it's like a
28:41
loan shark or a pool shark. There's like, like, oh, somebody
28:45
money, that's the only time shark is going to attack me. Not gonna
28:51
happen. That's their hood. I stay out of their hood. And that's
28:56
one of the things I don't mind about here with the Caribbean waters is you
29:02
know, there are dangerous sharks here, but they're way farther out in deeper
29:07
waters, and if they were to ever in close to shore, you can
29:12
see them really, really well because the water's so clear. But I've also
29:17
been told that one of the reasons why the water's so clear here is because
29:18
there's not a whole lot of nutrients in the water. And when there's not
29:22
a whole lot of nutrients in the water, there's not a whole lot of
29:26
fish. So in order to get good stuff fishing wise, you have to
29:29
go way far out to either the North Drop or the South Drop, and
29:33
that's you know, not close whereas it, say Padre, where the water's
29:37
kind of brown, nutrient rich, which means lots of fish, which means
29:41
sharks. Yeah, and you want to ever see me fishing. I've never
29:47
done that before. Don't feel the need to do that. About to be
29:48
forty nine, not going to start today, So I'm good. I'm good.
29:53
Where the I like the sand I like the the sun, like a
29:56
blutle blanket, maybe a sandwich of the day. A packed beach in a
30:02
swell of July holiday, loads of people waiting in Gulf of Mexico waters enjoying
30:07
some warmer than usual surf ahead of hurricane's arrival. Just beyond the swimmers,
30:11
an eager and hungry shark lurk jaws played out in real life around eleven am
30:18
on Thursday close to Beach Access number four on South Padre Island. I bet
30:22
that's a cool shirt. Beach Access number fourteen anyway. Jaws played out real
30:33
life close to Beach Access number fourteen on South Padre Island as what's believed to
30:37
be a single shark. Four people in the Gulf. Of those attacked,
30:41
two were bitten, one severely on the leg. Off duty Border Patrol agents
30:45
from the Search, Trauma and Rescue unit pulled the leg bite victim out of
30:48
the water and applied to tourniquet. Two victims were sent for medical evaluation,
30:52
while one was flown out of Brown Area for additional treatment. Another of the
31:00
four victims, an eighteen year old woman named Victoria, was injured after the
31:03
shark's teeth scratched her leg. Her parents told CNN that her wounds were not
31:07
deep and that she would receive a tetanus shot, but that was probably more
31:11
from the water, not the shark from one of the needles that floated by.
31:21
I feel like even sharks, sharks are just getting desperate if they're going
31:25
to Padre, you know it's the Gulf of Mexico. When Border patrol shows
31:33
up for a shark. You're listening to the Treehouse visitor is online at treehouse
31:45
dot com. You're in the Treehouse Listen is online on Treehouse on Air dot
32:07
com. I love the headline though of that story where it I think it
32:15
was on the Houston Chronicle, It said should Texans be worried about or shark
32:21
attacks in one day? Or no? I'm sorry. It says after South
32:25
Padre Island shark attack, how much should Texans worry as the four people that
32:34
got bit? Anyways, there are other things that happened over the weekend and
32:44
last week that are almost too stupid to believe, and that's what we really
32:50
thrive upon here in the Treouse, such as my favorite story over the last
32:57
week, as found one and only Trade Trenholme with the headline woman uses hand
33:05
grenade as hammer for twenty years, lives to tell the tail. When I
33:13
first saw the headline, I thought it was going to be one of those
33:15
traditional American style hand grenades, like the old pineapple hand grenade, you know,
33:22
or the round ones you know, very obvious with the pin that you
33:27
pull and throw type hand grenade style. But in this woman's very limited defense,
33:32
and I mean very limited here, the hand grenade she was using as
33:37
a hammer for twenty years was of a different origin and looked more similar to
33:43
one of those potato masher World War two style grenades that the Germans uke in
33:47
the day. So I guess I could see how you wouldn't automatically assume that's
33:52
a grenade. But I still know what a potato masher German hand grenade looked
34:00
like. And I wasn't about to go hitting that on any nails. I
34:06
don't have a I don't have a refer I don't know what it looks like.
34:08
I will show you give me a moment here. You know, the
34:15
lights you would put like in your yard along the sidewalk that you know,
34:20
kind of stick in the ground and have a little head on top that lights
34:22
up. Yeah, with a handle. Yes, that's kind of what they
34:25
would That was a hand grenad. Yes, interesting, here you go.
34:31
This is what it looks like. Jaj oh. Yes, And that is
34:37
not good. No, that's a hell of an understatement by you there,
34:42
sir, And she was using that as a oh there we go. Yeah.
34:49
Well. A ninety year old Chinese woman unknowingly used an old hand grenade
34:53
to crack nuts and hammer nails for two decades. After finally exploded ordnance in
34:59
a field. One day, the woman told Chinese reporters that she was working
35:02
on her farm when she found this strange metal lump with a wooden handle.
35:07
Convinced it was a makeshift hammer, she took it home and used it to
35:09
pound all kinds of objects, from nuts to metal nails. It was only
35:15
last week of men working on demolishing her old house noticed a hand grenade that
35:20
the retired woman learned she'd been gambling with her entire life every time she used
35:24
it, and she used it a lot. Police reported that the grenade's wooden
35:28
handle had become smooth and glossy from the years of use, while the metallic
35:32
was full of dents. And I figured you'd look at that and go,
35:43
oh gosh, I remember playing catch at school. I was gonna say something
35:50
the same thing. The ninety year old Chinese lady was adopted from the Wesleyan
35:54
School in Barbleshire. We pulled from a different play bind that's very distinguished alumni.
36:07
They're distinguished. They all survive. The graveyard behind my kindergarten looks like
36:22
the only school that had a mandatory class about being a ball bearer. There's
36:30
an in memoriam section on the yearbook for kindergartener God but not forgotten see it.
36:51
I don't know how it was where you guys went to kindergarten, but
36:53
at my school when we played war, we played keeps. You don't want
37:07
to know what cowboys and Indians look I grew up in Mosquite. I know
37:13
what that looks like. Oh there you have Trios episode one oh three.
37:21
Clearly if you couldn't figure it out by now, if it's stupid, it's
37:24
in here and we're going to play with it a lot. But kind of
37:28
like how I did with the with the toys at my school, spend the
37:32
bottle. That's really different. Cops and Robbers came with actual prison sentences.
37:49
We didn't have recess. We had weekend passes. We'll see you next time
37:55
in the treehouse
