Episode 76-We're Going To Be Blind and Dumb

WEBVTT

1
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:30.920
It is time to leave your worries
outside and join us inside the treehouse.

2
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:36.359
Us being meet Daniel Malley along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Day four.

3
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:42.479
We're on Day four because today's Thursday
of Super Stupid Week inside the Treehouse

4
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:47.840
leading up to Super Bowl fifty eight
in Las Vegas. We are not at

5
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.719
Radio Row because number one, we
are not on the radio, and number

6
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.759
two, even when we were on
the radio, we didn't go because they

7
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.759
didn't want to pay for us to
go to the super Bowl because they would

8
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:04.280
well, they knew better. Whereas
we are doing our own celebration of the

9
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.519
Super Bowl leading up to the Super
Bowl Super Stupid Week inside the Treehouse,

10
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:12.840
culminating that's right, we know,
big words in here, culminating with a

11
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.439
big live show maybe on Monday,
the day after the Super Bowl, as

12
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.719
long as I get all the technology
figured out between now and then, and

13
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:27.359
based on yesterday's fiasco with quote unquote
on air talent trying to be engineers at

14
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.439
the same time. This is the
reason why radio stations have different departments with

15
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.879
people doing different things, mainly being
keep the on air talent idiots away from

16
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.519
as much of the equipment and the
important stuff as possible, because that's the

17
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.799
engineer's job. So we've had to
learn from engineering on our end. Hang

18
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:53.920
on, So given that model,
what happens when you don't have either what

19
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:05.120
engineers are on air talent? Uh, well, you get a freaky situation.

20
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.599
I was wondering how to phrase it, and you did. You did

21
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.759
it? Say it right? But
well done, you know what. I

22
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.879
wasn't gonna say anything like that.
But but Trey opened those doors up so

23
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.039
wide, and I saw it on
his face. He wanted me to bring

24
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.000
it home and I said, okay, I'll do it for you. Trey.

25
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.879
Thank you. There are some very
very talented freaks out there. There's

26
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.240
also some that aren't, but there
are some there. I've played my diplomatic

27
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:47.759
role a little bit there. Yeah. Anyway, No, just just just

28
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:54.719
just a few the not the caro
what I think anyway, The the dangerous

29
00:02:54.719 --> 00:03:01.319
side of any sort of content creation, be it broadcast, digital is if

30
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.000
you have to do your own engineering. And that's a very scary thing for

31
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:07.199
someone like me to do. But
I've had to learn a fair amount over

32
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:13.360
to over the last year plus,
and I now am I believe in addition

33
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.919
to being the owner and president or
whatever other made up title I want to

34
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:23.199
give myself like a like a vp
AT. iHeart made up titles run amuck

35
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.439
inside the treehouse. So I am
the owner, I'm the president. I

36
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.919
could call myself CEO, even though
it's not really applicable in our setup.

37
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:37.080
I'm also I'm also now head of
it, which is terrifying that I should

38
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:42.919
be in charge of anything involving it. That should be my job it stereotypically

39
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.439
speaking, it should be. But
instead it's me and Tredy, the two

40
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.719
white guys trying to tell Raj the
Indian how to get his Internet in computer

41
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.800
working. I know. That's that's
the sad thing. And the truth matter

42
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.960
is is that you know, this
is all a product of the fact that

43
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.360
the greatest accelerator, innovator of the
Internet and technology is porn. So and

44
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.560
your only Dan's accounts. You know, you you have to stay on the

45
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.240
forefront. Yeah, I mean,
you've got to sell as many dandos as

46
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:18.519
you can. Yeah. Speaking of
which, oh, okay, if if

47
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:24.279
all things go according to plan,
which sometimes they do in here, sometimes

48
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.720
they don't. But if all things
go according to plan, we will be

49
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.199
introducing a brand new Dando tomorrow inside
the Treehouse. Wow, did we have

50
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:40.240
a a former Dando? Oh,
there's there's many former There's there's a whole

51
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.720
product line raj okay, and it's
been a while since h p LD Inc.

52
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.160
Has released a new one, and
that will also be in celebration of

53
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:57.360
the Super Bowl. Oh really,
Okay, Well, I hope the I

54
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:02.199
hope the shipping. The shipping is
swift. That's not the only thing that

55
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:11.399
will be swift. All right.
There's something that very important that we need

56
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:17.040
to discuss here five minutes into this
Thursday episode of Day five of Super Stupid

57
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:24.839
Week Inside the Treehouse, and that
is Trey, you now have something new

58
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:30.480
you can whip out on dates.
Yes, I do. And uh,

59
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.920
reach into my pants and pull this
out. I'm gonna, I'm gonna.

60
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:43.040
Okay, what is it, Trey. I'll let you do the honors for

61
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:48.199
ra You can tell him what what
what resides in your pants that you'll be

62
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:58.519
whipping out on dates consensually? Well, I mean actually probably probably not.

63
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.639
There might be a little embarrassment with
this. I just like, look at

64
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:08.920
it this way. It is impressive, Okay, to soak people to others.

65
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.000
It might scare some Yeah, oh
wow, I'm gonna show it to

66
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:20.040
you. Oh god, oh well
done. But Trey is now an official

67
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:30.319
card carrying member of the Association for
Retired Persons. If you if you break

68
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.480
that out on a first date,
just just know that every Indian everywhere is

69
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:45.639
like, he's one of us.
They're just gonna change on like tree ish

70
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:54.920
Ish is one of us. Tradgend, we love tragenda. He's one of

71
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:03.199
us. I've put it off Applebee's. I'm very excited for you, Trey,

72
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.920
card carrying member. What's the what
the letters stand for again? It's

73
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:13.560
a ARP. Is it the American
Association for Retired Persons? I think it's

74
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:19.079
the Association for the Advancement of Retired
Persons Retired People, I think. I

75
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:28.600
think you're taking two organizations. I
don't think. I don't think there was

76
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.319
a merger between a ARP and the
nub A CP. I feel like that

77
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:38.600
would have made news, Trey.
That would have been great association. It's

78
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.879
not enough to be recognized as a
retired person, but we also need to

79
00:07:42.879 --> 00:08:01.399
make sure that they advanced. Oh
somewhere somewhere, big state, who is

80
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.560
one of our favorite listeners. And
he also happens to be a black man,

81
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.439
and I believe he is close to, if not of the age to

82
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:16.759
have an AARP card. Is flipping
it over right now to see if it's

83
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:30.600
a twofer. The National Association for
the Advancement of Retired People, or I

84
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.399
mean, according to Trey, if
with that merger would have been great for

85
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:39.399
the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored Retired People, Like that'd be amazing.

86
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.440
I would be so proud to be
a member. You know, early

87
00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:01.639
nine minutes into this and I feel
like this treehouse is overflowing with stupid I'd

88
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:09.159
also like to give us credit on
picking up the flag and for the advancement

89
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.679
of retired people, a flag that
clearly no one else had the courage to

90
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:28.759
pick up. We'll be doing to
five k next month retired people, but

91
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:39.919
not just for retired people, the
advancement. We'll try to make Wilford Brimley's

92
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:54.080
birthday a national holiday. Started oatmeal
the whole time. Oh well, that

93
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.279
does remind me that you are to
at the same age as Wilfred Brimley h

94
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.799
when he's starting cocoon. That is
a piece of information that you told us

95
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.200
a week or two ago, and
I have not forgotten. It was,

96
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:18.639
yeah, like we can age them
up, We're good. So I'm uh,

97
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.120
I'm wondering, Tray. So,
have you had a chance to use

98
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.200
your AARP card yet? Did?
Were you able to use that when you

99
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.679
had tire trouble on seventy five the
other day? No? And the only

100
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.879
reason because I used my Triple A
membership for that, But no, Yeah,

101
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.279
I was going to McKinney. And
what's triple A? Is that for

102
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:58.240
the advancement of automobiles? Shouldn't be
triple AARP? How many cards do you

103
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:11.200
have? You're just bragging at this
point, Triple A. And I think

104
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.240
I think, I think Big Stacey
gave you one of his a few years

105
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:20.559
back. I don't remember. I
remember which car that was, Dan,

106
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:30.039
Do you remember, Nope. The
advantage of having a poor memory, it's

107
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:35.320
kept me out of trouble many times. That was I do not recall that,

108
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.399
Senator. You know the only thing
you didn't do was cover the mic

109
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.679
and then just look over at somebody
like getting advice. I did not recall.

110
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:56.080
I have no recollection of anyway.
Uh, You're okay though, after

111
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.080
the after the the trouble on seventy
five. What happened? I just I

112
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.639
my right front tire. I luckily
I felt it. I felt something wrong,

113
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.480
and so I was able to get
over to the right lane, and

114
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.840
luckily I was right by the Virginia
Parkway exit. So the scariest thing actually

115
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.480
for me was I had Daisy with
me, and so I'm like worried that

116
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.440
if, yeah, something happens that
I when I drive and for long distances

117
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.600
or anything like over fifteen minutes.
I put her in her kennel and I

118
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.080
actually strap it in the car like
a car seat. So everything was okay.

119
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.679
Just it's anytime you're stranded on the
highway, it is scary. Well,

120
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.720
I think I think actually having Daisy, your three pounds shuahua with you

121
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.879
while having car trouble with being an
advantage, because I mean there are plenty

122
00:12:48.879 --> 00:13:09.159
of men that pull over for stranded
bitches and twoss ones too. Really long

123
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:20.279
time dot com that's how she flags
down that roadside assistance. I had a

124
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:33.440
flat and I got a set of
four new tires. Let's get Jacquelin from

125
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.440
Brooks Plumbing into the treehouse now two
one, four through six, eight thirty

126
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.919
eight thirty eight is the number you
need to call for any and all of

127
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.399
those plumbing once and needs. The
website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com. Uh

128
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.639
I think famous last words, most
of the bad, deep hard freezes are

129
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.320
going to be behind us in North
Texas. But does that mean people are

130
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.200
out of the woods and that they're
plumbing's okay or could there still be problems

131
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.919
that come up. I think at
this point, if you've had a freeze,

132
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.399
you know about it, even if
it was really small. I mean,

133
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.879
unless there's just rooms that you never
go in, there's no way that

134
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.679
you wouldn't know. At this point
in time. I still see people trying

135
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.600
to pass it off in insurance claims, and that's interesting. And so I

136
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.000
had a claim that I did for
a homeowner here recently and they're, oh,

137
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.200
it was the freeze and it was
a new build and it was not

138
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.080
a freeze. It was just poor
construction. And I've actually kind of been

139
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:33.480
seeing that in the industry. There's
been I don't want to say which home

140
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:39.679
builder, there's been a lot of
just houses just kind of almost falling down,

141
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.320
you know, things that weren't completed, joys that weren't properly put together.

142
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.559
So if you're buying a new new
house, you still need to have

143
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.399
your brand new house inspected. I
don't know how we went from freezing to

144
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.440
that, but new houses are not
excused from being defective in any capacity,

145
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.720
so still get those looked at.
I think we got there because anytime I

146
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.879
asked you a question, you always
give a very smart, well informed answer,

147
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.600
and you sometimes expand to other areas, making me feel smart and well

148
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.519
informed. So thank you. You
can get that as well. So called

thirty eight thirty eight, or of course

151
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.519
the website with the rubber ducky Brooks
Plumbing Texas dot com this week at the

152
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.639
Dallas Comedy Club in Deep Elm.
You've seen him on FX, Comedy Central

153
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.600
and NBC's Last Comic Standing, where
he was runner up in a field of

154
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.440
over a thousand comedians. It's Lachlan
Patterson, man, I love football,

155
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.080
which it was there on that day
when they're trying to figure out how to

156
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.559
start the game. That's an interesting
rule that probably the quarterback in the center

157
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.879
figured that one out, just staring
at the ball. All right, pretty

158
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.879
much ready to go? How do
you want to start this game? I

159
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.080
tell you, why, why don't
you just hand me that ball through your

160
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.759
butt and we'll get going. Excuse
me, just give me that ball through

161
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.120
your button. We'll play football.
Well, this seems ridiculous. I mean,

162
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.279
for one thing, I can't even
see you facing the exact ops way.

163
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.080
How will I know when to give
it to you? Tell you what

164
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.399
I'll do. I'll get right behind
you and I'll gently rest my hands in

165
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:10.279
between your legs, and when I
want the ball, just tap you on

166
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:14.480
the nuts a couple of times.
Pall you. That's Lochwin Patterson this Friday

184
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.519
One of the things that I was
looking forward to with this super stupid week

185
00:17:53.640 --> 00:18:00.759
doing multiple shows, uh you know, days in a row like we used

186
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.680
to do on the radio, was
being able to talk about things in a

187
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.920
more timely fashion, like being able
to mention, you know, Toby Keith

188
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.359
and Carl Weather's dying, or the
fact that Trey got his advancement of Retired

189
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:18.039
Person's card in the mail this week
that I might have had to have you

190
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:19.720
might have had to have waited a
whole additional week to hear about that,

191
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:26.359
But we were able to inform you
almost immediately of that wonderful news to hit

192
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.200
Trey's home and you and you,
and you got it in February, so

193
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:45.799
you just in time for Valentine's to
Day and Black History Month? Is there

194
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:56.680
a Retired Person's Month or is that
just? Is that every month? So

195
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.279
the reason why I bring up the
advantage of being able to talk about things

196
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.960
as they happen in a more timely
fashion, we can actually talk about current

197
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.519
events as they currently happen. I
would like to bring up a story we

198
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:17.039
heard about many weeks ago, and
that is the news that came out about

199
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:23.759
some kid beating Tetris Wow. And
that was serious news to me because I

200
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:27.920
didn't even know that was possible.
Like I was able to beat some video

201
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.920
games back in my day, you
know, I was able to beat Sonic

202
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.119
the Hedgehog, two. I believe
I even beat Mario Brothers a couple of

203
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.160
times while I, you know,
make sure I found the secret tunnels that

204
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.519
help you skip like fifteen levels and
get to the end. I was able

205
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.519
to do that. You know,
there are some other games I've I've been

206
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:55.480
quote unquote successful at beating. Did
you ever beat Mike Tyson? I did

207
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.200
I even beat Mike Tyson back in
the day. Okay, I still there

208
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.400
are there are There are two.
There are two games though that I have

209
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:11.759
not beaten. One is Mario Kart
against my wife. Right, she's the

210
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.680
uh, she's the title She's the
title holder in Mario Karton in our house,

211
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.880
and it's it's really truly mean of
her. Whenever she says, hey,

212
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.160
you want to you want to play
Mario Kart tonight, she might as

213
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:23.000
well just say, hey, do
you want many kick your ass? Tonight?

214
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.839
Was like. And the other is
Tetris. I loved Tetris when it

215
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.200
came out. I had a Game
Boy, the old black and white thing,

216
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.559
and I played the hell out of
Tetris. I never even knew it

217
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.119
was possible to beat that game.
Well. And then a few weeks ago

218
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.480
news breaks that some kid actually did
it? Oh kid did it? Huh?

219
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:48.359
What'sh what's style of asion? Was
he? It's the truly rare Asian

220
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:59.839
raj and that is the Oklahoma no, no living in Oklahoma. It's an

221
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.119
Oklahoma kid, and I think he's
unless he's an even rarer find of Oklahoma

222
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:14.119
white Asian. His name is Willis
Gibson. No, it's not. He

223
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.200
adopted the whitest sounding name, but
like Vietnamese kid adopted by the Gibsons,

224
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.440
and they just named him based on
the you look it up. Look up

225
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.839
some kid beat Tetris. You'll see
a photo. It's a kid in some

226
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:33.319
glasses. He's thirteen years old and
he's from Oklahoma. He did not beat

227
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.599
Okay, this is what this is. Okay, you guys got the story

228
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:44.400
wrong. How what white kids don't
beat Tetris? Okay, this was right.

229
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.519
Hey if if his name was Patel, then you would be like,

230
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.000
yeah, okay, I believe it
solid Yeah, okay, yeah, like

231
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:59.240
you know, to lean into hy
stereotypes, it's not okay for us.

232
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.000
I just try to get a clarification. I'm just asking you, guys,

233
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.400
what was the last time you guys
wanted spelling bee? You think you're going

234
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:08.839
to break Tetris. Let's let's be
honest about our stereotypes. But if it

235
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.119
was like, hey, I believe
the spelling bee was broken for white people

236
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:21.279
when that when that little white boy
was asked to spell nigus. After that,

237
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.359
no white kids wanted to even try
out. They're like, we're not

238
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:29.880
doing this anymores. Okay, that
one's fair. The words are stacked against

239
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.920
us at that. They're like,
can we skip this word? Like he

240
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.119
should have like I'd like to pass. Uh no, I'm re okay.

241
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.799
So if it would have been like
schrasian Jing beat Tetras, something like that

242
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:47.519
sounds that sounds about right when it's
like oky thirteen year old Oklahoma Willis Gipson,

243
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:51.759
and I just looked it up.
He didn't beat Tetris. He crashed

244
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.400
the system. He got I'll give
him enough. He got to the high

245
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.839
enough level to where it crashed the
system. It crashed the game. He

246
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.680
didn't. He didn't. He didn't
beat it. That's because the game didn't

247
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:06.440
have any it didn't have any more
moves, so it just old. It

248
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:11.599
always has more moves. The viral
video of Willis Gibson's thirty eight minute game

249
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.920
posted under his blue Scooty screen name, is the latest spike in nostalgia for

250
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.039
the addictive and enduring game created by
a Soviet engineer in nineteen eighty four,

251
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.799
which, by the way, was
a good movie on Apple Plus Yes and

252
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.319
popularized the Nintendo Entertainment system. To
date, over two hundred official variants of

253
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:41.160
Tetris have been released on at least
seventy systems. Let's see thirty eight minute

254
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:47.039
viral video Willis Gibson said, after
his feet I'm going to pass out.

255
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:52.960
I can't feel my fingers. You
know, ironically, I too had that

256
00:23:53.039 --> 00:24:22.680
experience as a thirteen year old,
but it certainly a blind to I did

257
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:30.680
not go blind permanently, at least
at least not permanently. Maybe maybe that's

258
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:36.160
where the memory loss comes from.
If that's the case, we're all screwed.

259
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:45.640
That's the real cause of dementia.
That will be a blank slate by

260
00:24:45.680 --> 00:25:00.200
sixty I would hate to be that
hospice care seeing your forms. You don't

261
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.559
wanna. It's gonna be a sticky
It's a sticky situation. You want to

262
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:17.519
Oh God, don't go in there. All right, we will see you

263
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:23.319
tomorrow for a special Friday edition Inside
the Treehouse. See you in there, se
