• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wake up with a plangunnel and the trap on nine
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: four seven.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Very good morning to you. If you are just joining us,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: you're just in time to answer this question. Did you
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: have a tree house when you were growing up?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, you lucky fish? What did it feel like to
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: be the king of the neighborhood?
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: When I was about eight or nine, I think it
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: was about eight, my dad built a treehouse in our
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: front yard. We had a huge jack Rand the tree,
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: fucking big jack Rand. The tree was source of much
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: entertainment for me because the flowers used to fall, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: I used to plain Ninja with the flowers with the
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: piece of hosepipe. And he built this treehouse inside there.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: I just have to say, though, as I grew older,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: because the treehouse stood there for about ten years. Yeah,
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: and eventually you just rocked. It often fell apart as
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: most of the things in our yard. But I have
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: to say that if there was a health and safety
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: inspection on this treehouse, it would have definitely not passed
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: health and safety.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think treehouses are meant to pass help and safety,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: which is why we don't see many of them around anymore. Right,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But I also want to know, right, now at this moment,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: because I haven't seen a treehouse, I haven't had a
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: child talk about having a tree house.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Our tree house is still a thing. Who's got a treehouse? Well,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: gardens are no longer a thing on old, old properties,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the people had so much space. Now think about standalone
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: housing and almost the thing of the past for most
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of us. So a lot of parents don't imagine and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: families don't have that. But also the kids would rather
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: be on their phones and other devices.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Now on one one eight thirty eight nine four seven.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: If there is one toy or one piece of childhood
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you know, glee that I covered is a treehouse. Because
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: we never had a treehouse and we had gardens. We
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: never had a treehouse.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Did you have trees to put the treehouse?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yah?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Especially when we lived in water troof. We even had
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: like a little a little kind of embankment that goes
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: down and then another garden.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I wonder, I wonder if a lot of ads now
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: are building treehouses for their kids because they didn't have them.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's the thing I asked my son. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: was like, hey, would you like a treehouse? And it's
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: like no, no, he said, slid to me.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I get it though, because even their movies don't have
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: three houses. Remember the movies we watched all the kids
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in a treehouse and a bicycle and then you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Just like your books there and like little snacks and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you hang out there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what we did.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And then you'd like you did have like little walkie
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: talkies to talk to other people if people in the house.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: What did you get hold of you that like over
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: over treehouse coming in over?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I didn't have that. Oh that's that's too advanced to what.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I say treehouse loosely, Hey, there were like seven planks tree.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I just wanted you that was my idea of a
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: tree I was great.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Oh one one eighty eight, thirty eight, nine four seven.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Did you have a tree house growing up? Do you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: have a treehouse right now? What is the twenty twenty
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: six version of a treehouse?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Other things that you really wish you had, Like is
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: that on the list?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Outside of your phone?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Yes? Please?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Outside of your phone?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: What the what is the toy to have as a
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: kid and your kids play with us, do they want
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: a treehouse?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Because when we were young, it was a treehouse.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: I didn't have a treehouse. I've got friends with recent
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: who moved into a house about five six years ago,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: and they were like, oh and it's got this amazing treehouse.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Within a year that had pulled it down because it
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: exactly like Frankie says, it starts to just become a
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: hazard to everybody. But I think the equivalent of a
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: treehouse would be a trampoline. I think during during lockdown, guys, parents,
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: you couldn't buy a trampoline. They were as soon as
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: you were allowed to buy stuff again. They were so
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: in demand because people needed to exercise their kids, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: so many energy and so many people have trampolines.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But when it's time for a trampoline to go, Hey,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it's time for it to go. No one likes it anymore.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Now killing your grass, it's bent out of shape, it's
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: taking up space, it's blocking the flowers that your husband
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: planted for.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: You know, guys, that's how that's how we grew up
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and made it through COVID is by the rusty nails
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: in the treehouse, the rust on the trampoline, you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: all of those things.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: What's a bit of poisoning tet a shot for who?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I just want a treehouse.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: I never had a treehouse. So I had to use
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: materials and obviously built something like a hut with bamboo.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: And the one evening, myself and my friends were like
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: having a little bra outside and then I said, now
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: I want to go show someone what it looks like inside.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: And I just took a piece of newspaper and I
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: put it in the fire and it was like a
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: torch now and the whole thing took flight.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: The treehouse. Not to think I was a kid.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I grew up as a kid with wide open spaces,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: ride your bicycle, you can catch on all kinds of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: nonsensey nature.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: There was also good that was also good, but a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: treehouse as it was supreme. It was just supreme. Sam,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: are you in an Asia? Good morning morning?
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: We're good?
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: How are you fine?
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: Bang?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So you said you grew up on a farm.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Yes, in walkable for like ten years.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Did you have a tree out?
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Yes? I did have? Well what really it was a
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: massive tree We just pretended as a treehouse. But the
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: toy to still have in twenty twenty six is a lenny.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: What's a lenny?
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: They don't make it anymore. So it's a water toy
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: that you plug from a tap to a house, the
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: host plug into the Lenni. Now they make it into
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: palm trees and stuff that they have it at the
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: end or in the middle of your slip and flyve.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Is it like if I'm been imagining it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It was like a worm.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: You can get it like a worm, and it's like
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: a tower and it's got like arms that's spread around.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: It's something like that. But a Lenni was like a
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: clown and the hat the water would straight into the
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: hat and the hat would go up and then full
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: out all the water.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: He started for me, I want to google it l E,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: N N Y and n hy and for naughty. Yeah,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: oh Lenny, mine says Lenny cravices like a sort of
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a picture. Oh okay, so you can and then you
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you kind of run over it whilst it's crazy with water.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: It's like a fancy sprinkler.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Oh this is nice.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: So now like if you go to warm Bass, I
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: mean they have those sprinklers out there, but I mean
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: that was our Lenny.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So that's that's almost like that. It's a twenty twenty
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: six version of when you were young, you guys used
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to throw each other with buckets of water. Yes, yeah, okay,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I see no, no. And you know I said to
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the kids listening now, saying, oh, what's fun to throwing
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: each other backets of water? That occupied us for hours.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I remember when we were kids, we had a sprinkler,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: but it was made out of metal, so you know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: like the ones you get to the Guardino, but it's
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: not plastic. It's like a metal one. Yes, yes, And
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: then you would run through the sprinkler. Yeah. And you
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: would chase your friends with the sprintlan if they got crossed,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: they'd hit you with that, throw you withal with a
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: metal sprintler.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: So you guys had that and a tree house Lionshire Frank. Yeah.
• 7:20

• 7:26
  Speaker 2: like a guy who grew up in a treehouse.
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: I read, But it wasn't a fancy tree house. There
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: was only two squares. We I grew up in monument
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: parks on the other side of the ct of Breath
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: where you you look down on us still. But my
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: dad bolted for me out of baalet Wood and it
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: was about so help and safety.
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: As you say, it wasn't a thing.
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: And then I got like, you know those scratchy carpet
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: patches that they would do, so it's like a book
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: with pages of car Yes, I got one of those
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: and I took a part and then I outfitted my
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: two squares with carpet, thinking that I'm like doing Home

• 8:34
  Speaker 10: same wired orkie talkie. Granted we're like two meters from

  Speaker 10: one another, but then we whispered bec.
• 8:43

  Speaker 11: All of the engineers showing me a thumb down.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: Two toys that were supreme for us was a tamichi
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: a baby board. Hey, you guys are fancy because we
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: were playing with plastic balls made from the plastic from
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: the Albany played. We were playing with the teens from
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: the gem once we became to the gem three three house.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But I do remember you supply three teens. You you
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: take the tins and then you trying to stag them.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: But your friend's got a ball, and it's right that
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: we made out of plastic. So you would take like
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: a checkers plas, right, and then take a newspaper and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: make it wait, and then make it into a bowl
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: into the plastic. You take about three of those plastics,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: wrap it around. Then the key was, let's say we
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: have five turns. You must try build these tunes whilst
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: we try to hit.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: You with the ball.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: So if you dug, the ball obviously travels the other way,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and whilst it's traveling the other way and you're going
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to get it. Yeah, we used to call three teas
• 10:24
