I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey Trendholm and Raj Sharman. Believe it was just a couple of days ago we discussed about the men's Olympic ski jumpers and the possibility of them injecting their wieners to fly farther during competition. Well, now that that story is wrapped around the earth three or four times with some left over, now they're starting to poke some holes into this situation. Olympian CAC person says crotchgate is utter ridiculousness.
1:05 Two time Olympic athlete Casey Larson really wishes we'd all just forget about this. He's now a ski jumping coach and he spoke with News Nation and he's not loving it. He says, this is complete and utter ridiculousness. I, as a plugged in athlete for a very long time, have heard nothing about this. No, it's not happening. Well, that's exactly what you say if you just finished pumping up your wiener in a tent to get more drag on a suit so you could fly farther in the Olympics.
1:49 He does go on to also say he did, however, speak of some of the controversy in the sport over the past year, likely referencing Norwegian ski jumpers variously and Johann Andre Forfarg that's a great last name Forefang, Yeah, who were found to have extra fabric applied to the seams of their uniforms during the World Ski Championships in twenty twenty five. The material was discovered after an examination of the seams of their crotches after the event, and they all go on to you know, give more the science, like we did the other day, that an augmented suit, even just a couple of centimeters in the crotch area, can add close to six meters in additional distance when you ski jump.
2:53 But also, who's going to tell their coach like, hey, check out my dog. Shoot up to. Show well, I mean, they have to measure these suits. So there's someone that's trying to find cheaters by measuring the amount of material on the suits, including the crouch areas. So if this picks up enough steam, does that mean that that team that measures the suits are also going to have to start measuring. Well, it sounds like the shirts. The suits are uniformly measured. They body scan everyone and they measure them to fit each person. Yes, why are we talking about ski jumping?
3:39 It literally it's a sport that maybe five hundred people in the world care about. Yeah, but I can't stop talking about it, and neither can the Internet look anything to get the ratings up or the Olympics or is it great? Is what? That's it? Or you're dick or that you know? They do say that the Olympics are a tental thing for NBC, so this is I'm sure NBC is loving this. They're going to try to ignore it to a certain extent to maintain some air of credibility and whatever, but they'll take the extra eyeballs. Speaking of which, I don't think it's any coincidence. Hang on, let me get this accurate here. I like to be accurate.
4:28 Since when. Since always Trey. Unless I'm lying, I don't think it's any coincidence that we have all the swirling controversy about the possibility of men's ski jumpers injecting substances into their genitals to get extra fabric to fly farther in competition. I don't think it's any coincidence that on Saturday, Valentine's Day, that's the day that they are doing the men's Large Hill Individuals ski jumping competition.
5:08 Here's what I think this is. We all know that the Olympic village is a big f fest, and I think the ski jumpers got together and go, hey, what's going to give us an advantage? That's right? And also it gave them an advantage in competition. Let screw the competition. They are like, you know what, what's gonna get us laid the most? Yeah? No, I'm with you. I think that was the goal. And then and then they felt additional benefits once they went back to, you know, practicing. You're like, hey, this works on two levels. Oh, I'm saying they're not even doing it. I'm saying this is all made up just to get chicks.
5:51 Oh, well, imagine their disappointment. Well, chances are, while they're already there. You're not wrong. You're gonna hear a lot of I thought it was going to be bigger. Should have seen it before the injection. No, wonder why you didn't win gold? Oh, you're a qualifier. I see. This this. Former ski jumper Casey Larson also said some athletes may push the limits of acceptable surface area, perhaps with their uniforms or gloves, but said it's not widespread.
6:35 It's also an equipment based sport, which means that every piece of gear, skis, helmet, boots could have an impact on the link of a jump, and that sometimes puts a spotlight on the wrong elements. What is it they say, if you're not you're not cheating, You're not trying. Yeah, if you're not cheating, you're not trying to win. Mm hmm. I mean when you're when you're at this level of comp petition, every centimeter matters. That's a horrible philosophy. You're not cheating, you're not trying, says the cheaters. I think that I think that saying originated in NASCAR just to get really yeah, as some guys chiseling off a fraction of a centimeter on the hood for whatever additional bump and aero dynamics. Oh you know that comes from back in the day. I actually I think it was Richard Petty that said that. But when when stock cars were actually stock and you had they had a lot of range and what they could do to them to make them faster. Yeah, the gray area of the rules.
7:46 Well, and honestly, that was at a time when the stock car racing was really really interesting because here's your stock car, and now what's up to you to make it go fast? And here's a few parameters that you have to work inside. And then they got really good at it, and they got so good at it that then NASCAR is like, Okay, we need to do some actual rules here because you guys are going crazy. And so they did that. But the tradition of finding ways to skirt the rules or just outright cheat remain, and then it's you know, it's kind of like they just get better at it. That it comes from NASCAR now makes sense.
8:26 If you're if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Yeah, I think that's I think that's the exact quote. It's two eights. Yeah, I've never seen I've never seen one NASCAR race in my life. Sure you have, no have you seen possibly, uh, Trey, how many laps are in a typical race? Two? Have you ever seen two hundred clips of NASCAR race? Raj Y like just in a bar see it up on TV and there's a clip and you just see it. I bet in your lifetime you've seen one race just wasn't all one raised. They were just together. I couldn't tell you a single person's name or team or nothing.
9:08 You know my name? You know one name from NASCAR? Who's that? You know? Dick Trickle. No, but that's a fantastic name. It wasn't Trery. Wasn't that the name from uh. Days of Thunder? Yeah, Days of Thunder? No, sorry, Cold Trickle. Dick Trickle was actual racer. And that was the joke of the old Sports Center with Dan Patrick and Keith Oberman. Dick Trickle. That's my bad. I got, I got, I got reality and Hollywood crossed up. Hollywood's like, we can't name this driver Dick Trickle. No one would believe it. So they named Tom Cruise's character Cole Trickle, and then lo and behold.
10:00 A few years later, an actual Dick Trickle emerged onto the racing scene. And then into porn. Hey, you lay the groundwork in one industry as you build a second one down the light. I've been I've been invited to the NASCAR races at the Texas Motor Speedway. But I've never they're fun. They're fun races, man, It's it's at mm hmm. Yeah. I know a buddy of mine always runs an RV and goes out there for the whole time and they partied up and all that, and I've been invited to that, and I'm like, I will pass. I just can't just watching cars turn left all day. I can't.
10:46 I can't do it. Oh, it's it is cool when you get in the stands and you know, you you can feel the cars. Uh, But it's the the event as a whole. The race For a lot of people, the race is second. Darry did the big party that takes place all weekend, gotch I mean we used to be part of a group that we rent like five RVs and basically take up this big section of campground. And I mean even to the point these guys literally went out there in the off season and poured the concrete so they could put the stripper pull in and then you know, big crawfish boil and it's it was fun.
11:28 Oh, crawfish and strippers, That's the American dream. And raised a couple thousand dollars for charity in the process. Oh, I'm glad she made some money. That's good. Laugh all you want. But I went to middle school with a girl named Charity. Yeah, I went to school to a girl Charity in one with Chastity. That was That was my favorite one. I bet they had a good double feature at the Platinum Club. I will say the uh, the NASCAR events are a lot of fun I've had. There were some people that would really the race, like not even secondary.
12:11 They didn't even care about the race. They would just go for the campground party on the infield stuff they had. The race was just whatever they might leave before the race even happened, just to beat traffic. Do you have to do you have to pay for the campground stuff? Mm hmm, it's not. I mean if for the actual sites, I forgot what it is. It's not. It's not terribly expensive, but I mean it's listen, people put out throw out a lot of money. I mean, and the RVs and everything else that go out there, and the setups. It's like I said, it's a it's a fun time. My buddy, my buddy Brut's been going twenty five years. He's been going out there every single year, and it says a blast, and I again been invited, and I.
12:58 Just I don't know. I'm not going to tell you that you should go, but you know, if you've been invited that many times, it's an experience that you can add to your you know, not necessarily a bucket list item you may currently have, but you could just write it down then check it out. But hey, I did this thing, now now I know what it is, and maybe you get material out of it as well. That's think of it as a work trip. Raj okay, go out there for a night, have fun, get drunk, see a bunch of boobs, and then uh go for the start of the race, the pageantry, everything else to fly over when you feel when they fire up the engines and you can literally feel it, and then.
13:42 Leave when they're all distracted. See this isn't in the stands. A buddy of mine has a box there, and that's what that doesn't sound like a lot of fun because I know he told me himself, like he goes just for the same thing, but everybody's watching it on the TVs inside the box. They're not even watching the actual phrase. Then pay for a cheap seat in the stands for the start, you know it won't be that much. And uh, like I said, feel, hell, you could just walk out there and in the stands, feel that it's really cool when they fire up the engines and you feel it because ah and steam go buy a couple of times it's cool. And then especially a Texas Motor Speedway, a lot of times you get one car that just checks out after about five ten laps. Take off if you're not, if you're not enjoying org and then go up to the box and eat and drink and be with the fancy people.
14:44 Yeah. Yeah, I will say this. Boxes are not as fun as being in the stands. Oh yeah, they have a box at and T and I went and watched the game with them one time, and literally everybody is watching the games from inside the box on the TVs. That's my problem with AT and T Stadium and in general is especially if you're on the upper like third or fourth level, you're watching that big screen more than you are in the field. Yeah, this is I mean you went through a lot of trouble to go sit somewhere and watch TV. Yes, And I mean I went outside and I was like, I can throw I can literally throw a rock and hit deck in the head. That's how close I was.
15:28 And everybody that even came outside was doing the jumbo tron. They weren't even watching the field. So that's what I feel like we're doing now, Turing. We're just watching Raj on the jumbo tron. But we can't understand a thing you're saying, Well, we can guess white people did something. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that Treehouse on air dot com.
16:14 Let's get Daniel Cook from Cookdfwroofing and Restoration into the Treehouse eight three to three. Cook DFW is the phone number you will need to schedule your free roof inspection and property review. Daniel. I'm certain you've seen those inflatable barriers, the bubbles that people can activate to protect their vehicles during a hailstorm. Does that exist for a house yet. It's been talked about trying to see how they can make those, but I don't know if anything's ever going to be made like that. It would, but you know, even those ones for. The cars, if the hill is large enough, it can damage the car still after those are great for those smaller hell events that you just don't want those nuisance beings on your car, the pocket chains events, the large p size hell, you know, because it can still dent your car. You know, small hill's still damaging. I know there's a misconception out of there. We just had some small hell. We didn't get any damage. You probably did, you know, it just wasn't like things that you noticeable can see after a large hell event like the one that just went through here in Collin County, North Colin last September. Well, they knew they had damage because they had windows blown out, garage doors, had hits on them, looked like someone had shot them. You know, everybody's windows are broken out in their cars, so then they know they had a large enough event. But as far as your total home protection, there's not going to be any kind of force filled or large balloon that you probably
17:44 are going to be able to put around your home. So you just need to make sure that you hunker down and you get that checked out as soon as possible to make sure you don't have substantial leaks that are going to be forming really soon after that storm. And he brings up a great point, and that is it doesn't matter this side of the hail that falls during the storm, because after the fact you need to have that roof inspected to see to make sure that there isn't any damage, because even if it's a small piece of damage, that can grow over time and turn into a massive problem even from a small hailed event. So give Daniel and this team a call after severe weather eight three three Cook DFW or that website cookdfw dot com.

We were talking earlier about the men ski jumping at the Olympics, and I mentioned it the other day. It's like, I feel like I hadn't seen this much stuff about the Olympics on the news or on social media. Well that's been sold over the last twenty four hours. Now I'm getting hit with lots of stuff and that's a lot of fun. And as we know, the Olympics are fraught with drama, but one Norwegian biathlete took it to the next level during a live post race interview when he actually confessed to cheating on his girlfriend. Yeah, so he wins a bronze medal and then he goes on TV to talk about post race and he says, I want to think he turned the volume bell. Little bits I translate here because I now speak Norwegian. I think the lactures for a great day of And there's one person I want to share this with who may not be watching today, but six months ago I met
20:03 the love of my life. It's a wonderful person in the world. And three minimalist I used to make my life. And cheating that's all I've been thinking about for a week. It's been the worst week of my life. So I had a gold medal in life. Many people out there now see me in a different light. I only have eyes and I'm not quite sure what I want to say here now. So he won a bronze, but this is going to cost him some gold.
20:45 Go bang a figure skater and shut up. Go find a real problem. Yeah, go find five foot of crazy. And spitting. Only that kind of ballsy. I give him credit for that. Well, the cheating was ballsy. The weird thing about about a cheating situation is, especially if you're in the public eye like this guy is. I don't know if she's not taken him back or what the situation is. Was this a last ditch effort for him to show her how much he cares about her and be like, please take me back. I'm so sorry. Sure, I mean, I still went through with this race and got a bronze medal, but I was only thinking about you so much so that I'm now going to tell the world what a huge, massive mistake I've done, even though I didn't check with you to see if that's okay, because not everyone wants this stuff public.
21:47 Well, I would guess. I mean, we're talking about Norway, so he's probably a star in Norway, where this might have been in some kind of you know, page six type thing there, and you know otherwise where we couldn't tell you who are when her athletes were for left nor money. Most Americans couldn't even tell you what a biathlon is. So uh but is that? I mean, I feel like he's trying to like kind of flog himself in front of the world to get her back and I just I don't think that's probably gonna work. I don't think adding adding more spotlight on your transgressions is the way to get her back.
22:30 You don't think embarrassing her. You don't think embarrassing her further on, not just you know, national stage, but international stage is gonna do is gonna be the thing that gets her back? Yeah, I don't think so, because I'm sure the problem. You know, in Norway everyone knew. Now the world knows. Yeah, but he also said she wasn't watching. So like what he said, he didn't know if she was watching. But on the off chance that she was, partly because maybe somewhere deep down she hopes that he's successful, or maybe also partly she's watching just to see if she can catch him cheating on her again somewhere in the background of a race.
23:16 Yeah, well, even if she wasn't watching, one of her friends was, oh, yeah, there's always there's always a friend. It's kind of like it's kind of like in court, you have the court stenographer. The court stenographer is like the friend, and they will report back as to what you have done, what you've said, all of it. Yeah, I mean, maybe one of the family members that he was talking about that he thanked. Maybe they're friends with her as well. You gotta go watch, because on a global stage he was so sorry, he. Cried, I know, I mean, sure he thanked the waxers, but then he went right to you and said, you know, he really screwed up.
24:01 If we're talking about this a podcast based in Texas, I'm quite sure Norway is a buzz about this. Oh yeah, Scandinavia is all hot and bothered by it. Do you think that going on international television after winning a bronze medal in the biathlon admitting to cheating is gonna get her back? No? Yeah, you never know. It depends on the girl, Like she could be five feet of crazy, Like you know what, that was perfect, he he apologized on national on international TV.
24:48 You're right, maybe maybe maybe what she needed, maybe what she wanted was a grand gesture. I generally feel like one of the big things with cheating, and especially with women, is the embarrassment of it. And so I don't think going public is going to do yourself any favors, especially when you. Kind of also mm hmm. Yeah, so he embarrassed himself as well her. Yeah, and they can be embarrassed together in love. Now, maybe she puts them in the cutchair and watches the long jumpers banger.
25:30 I don't know that's punishment right there for sure, but their giant injected penances. Just a whole mountain just lined up. The ski lift after ski lift after ski lift, next one, next one, next one. Oh no, not that you're making Bob sled team. You don't want to go after them.

26:33 You're in the Treehouse. Visit us online at Treehouse on air dot com. All right, uh so, now that we got Olympics stuff out of the way, let's go back to one of the biggest stories of the week. The numbers are in from Super Bowl sixties halftime show. Bad Bunny's performance landed at number two all time with one hundred and twenty eight million viewers and a possible federal investigation. So take that, Kendrick Lamar. United States Congressman Andy Ogles is demanding an investigation into Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, which he described as pure smut, and he's also concerned about the widespread torking some stories I wish I was making up and this is actually one of them. Congressman Ogles, a fifty four year old Republican from Tennessee, called for a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC immediately for their prior knowledge, deliberate approval, and facilitation of this indecent island in the oh wait, sorry, this indecent broadcast.
27:56 That's what he's upset about. That was on Monday, February night. He says American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence. He also added children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and bad Money shamelessly grabbing his crutch while dry humping the air. And if that weren't outrageous enough. Their performance's lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities. These flagrant indecent acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways. And I am left wondering which Super Bowl halftime performance did he see? Because I feel I feel like I need to go back and rewatch this to see, like, Okay, what did I miss?
28:46 I want to know how he knows what they're saying, because I don't believe I find just questioning that to begin with. Yeah, I mean that was sort of the main problem with a bunch of people with the halftime shows. They were pissed because it wasn't going to be in English and they wouldn't understand it. Well, there's a benefit to things not being in your native tongue is maybe you won't understand it, so that way you may not be offended by it. But whatever. In a letter, a strongly worded letter written to Brent Guthrie, the Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, Ogels pointed out specific points of contention with Bad Bunny's performance, which aired live on Sunday.
29:30 He criticized Bad Bunny for performing his song so Farah, which the congressman said includes references to an lingus sexual intercourse and other explicit themes. I seriously got to go back and rewatch the halftime show with the close captioning on. He also referenced the choreography during your perio sola obviously I don't speak Spanish, which he said featured overtly sexualized movements, including widespread twerking, which you were doing it right, working is, widespread grinding, pelvic thrusts, and oh and others sexually suggestive conduct. Mm hmmm. Did I I got none of that?
30:10 I mean I did I notice some some crotch grabbing. Yeah, but you get that during a normal football game. And and some of it wasn't like as direct crotch grabbing the way that we grew up watching Madonna and Michael Jackson do. It was more kind of like on the sides, It's more like the groin area, you know. And I didn't really see any actual torking, like what's oferking? I mean, God bless them for it. It made you know, if you didn't understand the lyrics, at least you kind of understood that. Yeah, you understood the show. You're like. Hot hot Latina chicks dancing. Okay, yeah, I there's always got to be one that's got to turn it, turn it into a fucking circus.
30:57 And I just now I'm wondering maybe what happen and was as he's watching the halftime show with the goal of being outraged and titillated and you know, angry, maybe he looked down and it was like, uh oh, I'm visibly turned on and and Mama sitting next to me just saw it, which means now I have to do something to fix this. I mean, there's always got to be one that's gonna try to make a name for himself. I mean, because generally, I think a lot of the response to Bad Bunny was gonna be the same thing from people whether they watched the show or not. People were gonna say, oh my god, I loved it whatever, even though they may not have understood a fucking thing. And the same side as they didn't see it and they're like, oh my god, it's an abomination.
31:47 Yeah. But then I think, after all, you know, that virtue signaling went away. Everyone's like, okay, whatever and move on. This is a halftime show. And at a certain point, it's like, okay, it was fine. It really there there was I mean, you know, we didn't see Janet Jackson's teet, so who cares, it's still gonna be. He's just trying just. Then, he's just trying to make a name for himself. I mean, I hate you like Trump. Trump released the statement the next day as well, where he's like, kids were forced to watch It's almost verbatim.
32:30 Kids were you know, there were children at home that had to watch these women gyrating. And you know, it's not like you got a bunch of you know, five year olds with clockwork orange goggles on with their eyelids peeled up being forced to watch this. That's not the case. Just yeah, So he was just you know, he's just trying to be in the same spotlight with. And and and that's and that's we try to stay away from some of this type of stuff. But at the end of the day, it's like Trey said, it's rich really not a big deal. And really what happens is with these culture war situations is you make something a bigger deal than it actually is, and in doing so, you put a brighter spotlight on it, and at the end of the day. That doesn't do anything positive for anybody.
33:24 Right, Members of Congress are the shoe salesmen of politics. Yes, they're fucking worthless. They run every two years and either they have a cushy gig and they will just get reelected as long as they run, or else they have to make a name for themselves. And this is both sides, all of them. Oh yeah, and they they just do some of the dumbest stuff to keep their name in the news cycle. And they're not even good shoe salesmen. It's not like they're selling good shoes at like the Nike outlet or something. These are like the like the shoe salesman at like Kinney's in the mall in the eighties.
34:05 Yeah, when they want to start addressing their insider trading, let's talk, yes. Or an actual problem that Americans have. No fuck it, I want an insider trading. Let's talk about congressional insider trading and how they're all millionaires within a couple of years. On board with that, I would love that. Yeah, there's there is a fund that mirrors Nancy Pelosi's trades and it's always up. It's it does phenomenal the returns on it are insane, but widespread torking and Andy Ogles from Tennessee has a problem with it. Honestly, you know what, I take it back, do the inquiry. I would love to see a nationally televised congressional inquiry about a Super Bowl halftime show. Please put your stupidity on display.
35:07 And I hope that Bunny answers every question in Spanish, which. He is legally allowed to do, or he doesn't answer the subpoena because it was in English. No, even I hope, I hope this. This would be the ultimate indignity for I hope he pleads the fifth in Spanish. Thinkle mm hmmm, sinkle thinko all he keeps saying, hey, hey, Sinkle. Maybe I could just be his new song. God. Oh, This is where I would typically say, you know what, it's good that we don't have serious problems that we get to worry about stuff like this, But we actually do have serious problems and we're being distracted by nonsense.
36:06 Eh. Yeah, that's the that's the case. That's what they want to do. They want to keep you distracted from the actual problems that are happening. So here's the shiny object to make you mad, don't pay attention to all the other bad stuff over here. And I didn't see any gay pornography or whatever it was one of these other senators is trying to say now as well. And I saw like I saw, like very briefly in the performance. I saw I saw two guys look like they were kissing. I don't I don't know if I saw that, but I did see two guys like they were pretty close to each other and they were obviously dancing on each other. But they didn't even show them from the waist down. It was from behind like a car door. But I did catch my eye. I was like, I think that was a couple of homies there. And then maybe one other time in the performance, but it was nothing so in your face, and I was like, hey, that's inappropriate.
36:59 It is. It is amazing that everyone gets so worked up over a twelve minute show that is in the middle book ended by twenty two men at a time trying to kill each other. Yeah, we're all watching these men get permanent brain damage. But you know, someone shook it too vigorously. Yeah. But also, I mean, like when you're in the quarterback and you're not enough in the backfield. You're up under somebody's junk, and so that should be that should be morally confusing for.
37:41 That guy as well. I wonder if that's why they've gone to more shotgun sets in modern football. At someone at some point they're like, you know what, me and Jeff aren't close enough for me to get in there. Yeah, the center's got to be like very comfortable with his sexuality. Yea, go ahead and put your hands under there. The center is an amazing position in the NFL, so much responsibility falls on you other than the quarterback. The center touches the ball more than anybody and touches his Yeah, and typically, and typically the guy on the field with the biggest hands is the quarterback.
38:33 I mean they zoomed in. Uh, I can't remember its first second quarter, but they zoomed in, and I was like, man, that is you gotta be good friends. You've got to be so close. Yeah, I mean you're you're you're inviting each other's kids over to birthday parties and stuff. And also there's there's that relationship between quarterback and center that's called the silent count. Oh yeah, well he just slaps him on the butt. No, No, that's obvious. Now. The silent count is when you get under center and your hands go under and you decide to do silent count. And what silent count means is the quarterback's going to thump the center right on the nut, and that means give me the ball. Yeah.
39:22 I don't know if maybe they've updated it in modern times, but that was how that was how they did it in you know, my day of football, and that's why I didn't want to play center. Yeah. Uh. And also calling it a silent count, it's also like saying, hey, man, keep quiet about what I just did. You will shut the fuck up. Yeah. And that's the thing too, It's like you kind of know when the play is coming because you don't hear the quarterback say hut. Instead you hear this center go ah and then off you go. Try. Did they teach it that way where you went to school? Yeah, see, it's just it's a non thump and go. That's what they should call it.
40:14 I wouldn't. I don't know about thump as more as it was kind of a little that but. Oh, a little tickle. It's a little tickle on the on the boys under there, like here you go, hey, sweet. It's almost like you're playing with a wind chime. Give me the ball. Yeah, that should be more offensive than anything Bad Bunny did. Yeah, but you don't see that on the broadcast. It happens deep dark underbelly of the Center. That's why they never interviewed the center. He just goes straight to therapy. He goes into the blue tint. Just start sharing his feelings and show him the doll. This is where Drake touched me.
40:57 That's why Jason Kelsey gets you know, takes his shirt off and you have slams himself through tables. He's not loving life. That's trauma reaction. That's trauma response. That's him working through his issues. Chris Farley of the NFL. I got touched a lot. For all Things Treehouse.
