00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.000
It is time to leave your worries
outside and laugh with us inside the tree

2
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:35.079
House episode one oh three, I'm
Dan, O'Malley, along with Trade Trendholm

3
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:45.600
and Raj Sharma my continued quest to
find the piece of playground equipment that brutalized

4
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:53.159
me as a four slash five year
old. We dug a little deeper into

5
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.640

8
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.519
I shared a little bit of my
rich history as a human on this planet

9
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:19.079
with Raj and Trey and where I
went to kindergarten. And in case you

10
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:26.040
don't know, I am not a
native Texan technically according to my certificate of

11
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.200
live birth, because like Obama,
I don't have a real birth certificate.

12
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.400
According to my certificate of live birth
as an adopted kid, I was born

13
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:42.640
in Tulsa, Oklahoma and lived there
with my family technically north of Tulsa,

14
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.840
saying technically a lot in between the
towns of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Anda,

15
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.920
Oklahoma. I realize it sounds like
I'm making half this stuff up, but

16
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.239
I swear to you it is true. You can look at it. It's

17
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.560
on maps. So we lived in
the country in between Bartlesville and no Wa.

18
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:06.319
We went to work in school in
Bartlesville and it was there at Phil

19
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:12.960
Wesleyan School where I attended not just
kindergarten but also pre kindergarten. Did you

20
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:25.400
say Phil phil Wesleyan Because that makes
a lot more sense. Right there,

21
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:32.240
this here for you, Trey.
Right there, right there, there's a

22
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:49.840
the uncle Phil's house, take care
autumn, we break for kids. Oh,

23
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:58.240
they don't rush us right over.
Anyways, this is what happens.

24
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.439
You need things about about your life
with your best friends, is they make

25
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.159
funny before the last question, before
you ever went out to play with there

26
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.840
for like a group of adults and
they were just throwing cash down on the

27
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:16.159
ground saying I got that one in
the red hat. You know what?

28
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:23.840
That through the obstacle. Course,
as as harsh of an example that is,

29
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.879
Trey, you may be onto something
because as I really think back on

30
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.800
my childhood, it really does it
with some sort of underground kids fight club

31
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:44.960
going on. That's the only kindergarten
with the release brokeram because one of the

32
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.719
other stories I told you about in
the Treehouse Plus episode was the time we

33
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:54.039
were playing tag and we were playing
inside in a portion of the school that

34
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:59.479
was under construction because they let us
do that, and I got sprayed in

35
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.039
the eyes with some type of chemical. Yeah, I mean, you called

36
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.159
it chase, they called it the
Hunger Games. Whatever you wanted to do.

37
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.400
And I'm really starting to think that
you guys may be onto something here.

38
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.319
And this is why it's important to
be released into the world, so

39
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.879
you know that different kids did grow
up the same way you did, and

40
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.839
in fact may not have known that
that there were odds and they may not

41
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.879
have been in my favor. Your
poor parents had to d program you.

42
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:43.360
He just keeps running at the wall. So I did a quick image search

43
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.199
on the school that I went to
preschool in kindergarten at, and that was

44
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:57.279
that Bartlesville Wesleyan School in Bartlesville,
Oklahoma. And uh, because if it's

45
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.439
possible, does that piece of playground
quick meant that I hit my head on

46
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.480
still exists. It'll be in one
of these image searches. I would,

47
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:13.519
I would think, but I don't
think I got tucky because when I did

48
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.120
an image search for Bartlespool Wesleyan School, you know, some of the pictures

49
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.360
that pop up look familiar, like, okay, yeah, that's definitely where

50
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.279
I went to kindergarten. Like this
one here on the on the far left,

51
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:29.000
Wesleyan Christian School top brink did something
it cuts off, but that that's

52
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.160
the school. That's where I got
dropped off at for kindergarten. Okay,

53
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:40.240
kind of looks like a compound,
did it Did it say Wesleyan or was

54
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:46.959
it Branch Davidian? No, it
was it was wesley And actually if you

55
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.439
look at the it's kind of hard
to see in this photo, but in

56
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:54.639
this photo here that in the back
right corner, that little triang So the

57
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.720
front building looks a little institutional,
I'll admit that. But the back building

58
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.000
back there a cursor, it's got
a little uh you know, it's got

59
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.560
a peak on it. It looks
sort of normal ish. That was where

60
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:13.240
the preschool was, away from the
main compound. Yeah. And if you

61
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.560
look at this far right photo over
here there it is from the backside,

62
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.600
it's that so that's kind of the
churchy area. And that was in there

63
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:25.240
was I remember was the indoor playground, which now I realize was an odd

64
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:30.079
thing, because when I eventually went
to normal schools in Texas, not one

65
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.319
of them that I went to,
and I went to a handful, not

66
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:38.879
one of them had an indoor playground. One that I went to kindergarten ata

67
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:46.920
nor the air quotes, teachers and
white lab coats and clipboards. You're the

68
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:57.199
only preschool where the kids have to
clock in and when your name is written

69
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:04.079
up on the board, there's odds
next to it. But yeah, so

70
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.079
when I scrolled down and I start
looking at some of these other photos,

71
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.199
like there's some of the of the
Wesleyan University that's there. I didn't go

72
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.800
there, but like, some of
these other photos look familiar, Like this

73
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.600
one here, I remember that part
of the school looks like a barn cover.

74
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:26.920
That's the building where I first learned
about Super Mario Brothers. Were they

75
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.199
making you because they were giving you
mushrooms? Is that getting point on the

76
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:42.639
head and making us replumb the dungeon? No, constantly fighting turtles. But

77
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.959
yeah, some of these look familiar. Some of them don't. Obviously,

78
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.759
the schools I guess dated to a
certain extent since I went there, But

79
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.279
yeah, I couldn't find any photos
of any playground equipment. Sorry, all

80
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.480
the way on the all the way
on the right. M h, what

81
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.360
is that? Is that part of
your school? What does that say?

82
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:09.839
Visit Bartlesville, La Foster Mansion.
I told you there was a work release.

83
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.560
See when they say lakinta foster mansion, I hope they don't mean foster

84
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.519
kids. I would think that's what
it's for. I mean, I never,

85
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:33.600
I never. I never made it
into that building. Level four.

86
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:45.120
Level four was housekeeping. Look,
foster mansion. Jeez, the laquinda.

87
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:52.200
What can we can we find out
what what that is? It looks like

88
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.639
it's a lakinta where they kept the
foster kids. Uh. This says it's

89
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:05.559
part of the Oklahoma Wesleyan University campus. This is where you stayed. I

90
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:13.200
didn't stay there. Oh I never
made it to that. Only the good

91
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.799
kids stay there. I'm guessing.
So he got the he got the super

92
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:28.159
EIGHTE Foster Hut. This is another
moment to say that on occasion, it's

93
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.120
good to watch this show because then
you can see what I'm what I'm giving

94
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:43.799
their high school slogan, We'll leave
the light on for you I'm more listening

needs to give for a call to

98
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.080
eight the website Brooks Plumbingtexas dot com. I was talking to Daniel Cook from

99
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.720
cook Dfwroofing Restoration about this. I
wanted to throw this at you as well.

100
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.360
What's more important the best contractor or
the best deal. If Daniel thinks

101
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.799
at all like me, I'm gonna
guess what his answer is, which would

102
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.320
be identical to mine. And there's
an old saying that you can get a

103
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:30.159
contractor that's fast, cheap and good
or a high quality, and you can

104
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.679
typically get two out of three,
but you can't get all three at the

105
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.919
same time. So you may be
able to get it fast and cheap,

106
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.759
but it won't be good. And
you might be able to get it fast

107
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.080
and good, but it won't be
cheap, et cetera, et cetera.

108
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:46.120
And I think that's really true.
What's cool, in my opinion is that

109
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.519
if you're working with a good contractor
if you're clear enough about what your needs

110
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.120
are, they can make themselves what
you need. Two one, four,

on a little bit from my eye opening

119
00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:00.159
childhood compared to compared to you,
guys, Trey, how's your back?

120
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.759
I know that's been bothering you lately. Uh, slowly getting better. I

121
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:13.879
can almost touch my toes again.
Coming from someone that also experiences back problems,

122
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.440
I understand that discomfort and pain,
and I feel for you because you've

123
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:24.000
got sciatica right, Yes, I
do, I have psiatica. This one's

124
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.639
this one's different though it's a just
right smack dab in the middle of my

125
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.200
back. I may go see a
chiropractice if it's something they can popp or

126
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:39.919
wiggle out. If that doesn't work, I have a physical therapist for to

127
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:46.799
try. Okay, the methods might
be a little unorthodox to something that you've

128
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.200
done before, but I know that
with back issues you'll try pretty much anything

129
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.360
to see if it works. Right. Yes, So here's her contact info

130
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.799
for the new physical for you,
and you gotta give him that huck dude,

131
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.799
spend all that night. Like I
said, some of the modalities and

132
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.120
the methodologies might be a little unorthodox, but I say give it a whirl.

133
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:16.039
H It's a continuing education program that
you have you been doing anything else

134
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:24.519
for your back? Trying to yoga? Mm? Yeah, all right,

135
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:30.080
that's uh. I'm I'm I'm Indian
and I don't even do that. Uh

136
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.759
we invented it. I do know
that when you've got back problems, and

137
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.120
you've had back problems long enough,
you will try just about anything and everything

138
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.879
up to like, especially if you're
trying to avoid you know, surgery,

139
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.399
you'll try pretty much everything physical therapy, a chiropractor, stretching, whatever else

140
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.720
there might be, accu acu pressure, acupuncture, I've tried that, cupping,

141
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.039
I've tried that. And to be
honest with you, Trey, I

142
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:09.279
too have tried yoga at different times, gotcha. Yeah, I'm there's some

143
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.919
times where I'm really glad there aren't
cameras around, and me trying to do

144
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.080
yoga is one of them. Yeah, because because you know, it's a

145
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.360
So I found this YouTube channel,
you know, Yoga with Adrian and uh

146
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.879
oh yeah, the lady with the
dog. Yeah yeah, And I almost

147
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.080
said I've done it with her,
but no, I mean I've I've I've

148
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.120
watched and done yoga along with her. Yeah. It's uh you know.

149
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.639
But the the problems is is even
when they talk about, oh, yoga

150
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.440
for beginners, they still expect you
to have a certain knowledge that you know,

151
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.600
I simply don't possess. So it's
a and a certain level of flexibility.

152
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.559
Yeah. Yeah, it's like a
demented game of twister at times.

153
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.960
So that actually is a perfect description
to my first time trying yoga. So

154
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.080
what I should have done, was, like you did, Trey, start

155
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:05.039
with you yoga with the Yoga with
Adrian type of thing instead. Back when

156
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.519
my now wife and I first met
and we had first moved in together,

157
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.120
we were doing P ninety X.
And I don't know if you guys realize

158
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:18.720
this, but one of the one
of the DVDs P ninety X was yoga,

159
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.759
and the P ninety X dudes don't
do anything half assed, So the

160
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.960
P ninety X yoga was not gentle. There was no easing into it.

161
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.240
It was like an hour and a
half hardcore yoga session. And around the

162
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:41.240
thirty thirty five minute mark, I
got stuck. And I'm not exaggerating this.

163
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.600
The position that we were supposed to
be in was like you get into

164
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.519
a lunge right, so you've got
the knee bent on the front, your

165
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.960
back leg is straight. That's easy
enough, I can, but then I

166
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.960
had so I had my right leg
forward, left leg back, and then

167
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.879
you put your hands together like you're
praying. It worked, which made sense

168
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:07.080
because I was. And then you
were supposed to twist your upper body and

169
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.720
put this elbow outside party of your
leg that's sticking out front. So they're

170
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.279
calling like a lunge with a prayer
twist or something. All I know is

171
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.960
I hiccuped or something. As soon
as I got into the position as best

172
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.039
as I possibly could, and then
I couldn't move. I just stuck.

173
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:27.600
I got stuck. I couldn't unclench. See what my lovely wife did to

174
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.480
help me out of that position.
She just took her finger, put it

175
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.200
on my shoulder and just tipped me
on over. Isn't that like an like

176
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.440
a Warrior three is not the stance. I don't know that you were in.

177
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.639
I think the Warrior three is with
me. Did you get physically stuck

178
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.720
or was like a flashback to your
childhood if you're stuck in the box with

179
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:55.279
praying. Maybe it was a combination
of the two. It makes sense.

180
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.240
Yoga will bring out the demons deep
inside you. Yeah, and I love

181
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.839
I mean and and you know,
for for the West to take on yoga's

182
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.079
is so wonderful, But then you
always have to get that one group of

183
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.000
white folks that's like, let's make
it extreme. I'm like, extreme and

184
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:22.880
yoga don't really go in the same
I must. Yeah. So the fact

185
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.839
that P ninety X, which is
to as my friend Greg barn said,

186
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.359
is the only DVD that you would
use to want to get prison strong,

187
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.599
That's what that's what it came out
like at the end of the ninety takes,

188
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.880
you were ready to jail house fight. So yoga to that, it's

189
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:49.440
just hilarious to me. There was
something terrifying though, in the realization that

190
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:56.319
I was doing and I should say
attempting yoga and I got and as after

191
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.799
my wife pushed me over, which
technically worked, it got me unstuck.

192
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.559
It just didn't feel like the sweetest
way to go about it. I thought

193
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:11.279
to myself, if my younger self
were watching me right now, no,

194
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:18.200
embarrassed, really yeah, like that
not the younger you that ran headfirst into

195
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.839
a building. Now that that one
wouldn't have understood. Uh No, more

196
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.200
like more like teenager, like high
school age. You know, like when

197
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:32.200
in your high school maybe maybe person
of college age, where you think you

198
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.440
know everything at the whole teenager mentality, you think you know everything, you

199
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.759
know more than everybody else, You
think you're you're you're indestructible, all that

200
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:45.279
type of stuff, gotcha. Okay, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

201
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.319
And that was really one of the
moments that adult life where I would

202
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.720
have been embarrassed in front of my
younger self. Interesting, okay, just

203
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.720
for the the for getting stuck in
the yoga post. Yes, yeah,

204
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:03.279
okay, yeah. I my ex
is a yoga instructor, my ex ex

205
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.200
girlfriend and you remember her. Yeah, she is a yoga instructor. And

206
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.200
when we were we lived in California, she invited me to take yoga with

207
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:14.880
her and I realized I was the
only Indian person in that class, and

208
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.119
I was like, I gotta gotta
rep my people. And about four minutes

209
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:27.880
in I left. Uh so you
basically just signed in and left? What's

210
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.839
the lights went down? No?
No, I mean we got the we

211
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:41.480
it was hot yoga and uh or
as they call it India yoga. Uh,

212
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.319
it was hot yoga. And at
the four minute mark, I don't

213
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.920
know what same thing, don't know
what position I was in, but I

214
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.559
did say out loud and I was
told shush because she was next to me.

215
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.839
I was like, I can't do
this and I was told to shush

216
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.319
and I was like, well,
fu, I'm leaving, and I left.

217
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.680
I just went and sat outside.
I think I went to a CBS

218
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:11.359
and got like a like a six
pack of beer and just wait wait for

219
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:12.880
everybody else to get out. But
yeah, I was over. I was

220
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:17.079
done that was my last foray into
yoga. Would have been perfect if you

221
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.359
went over to the CVS and picked
up a six pack. If not,

222
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:26.480
must stay I p a with that
shirt that just now, I must stay

223
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.920
here and drink tray. Have you
ever had that moment where as an adult

224
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:37.279
thing and thought my younger self would
be really embarrassed. Oh, every every

225
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:42.720
day of my life. I mean
from the fact I don't drink anymore to

226
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:48.319
go that I need glasses to read
anything. I used to bust my dad's

227
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.160
balls on that, or especially god, my younger self would get up and

228
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.119
leave when I have to pull my
phone out at the restaurant to look at

229
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.759
the menu to use the flashlight.
Yeah, that's a good one. Uh.

230
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.240
Or do you have the app,
the reader app? So in case

231
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.920
you forgot your readers, you can
use the app and you can magnify.

232
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:08.960
So no, I did not know
of this. Yeah, it's it's it's

233
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:11.119
well now, Well, now it
sounds like you're about to get something new

234
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.160
that your younger self is embarrassed about. Yeah. I think the younger self

235
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.079
being embarrassed is the first time I
went into a club and I was like,

236
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:23.880
it is so loud, that's when
like twenty one year old me would

237
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:30.599
have been like, you're a bitch
walking into a Metallica show asking where the

238
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.359
where you can buy some earplugs.
That's the drowning pool. The first thing

239
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:41.079
I did was ask for ear plugs. People ready to rock out them like

240
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.640
it's they're very loud musicians. Yeah, or as I'm climbing, I'm climbing

241
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.680
in bed at nine o'clock. My
younger self would just hang their head in

242
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:56.799
shame and just and just run away. Yeah, because Core at nine pm

243
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:03.160
was just thinking about pregaming, not
even the night yet. Oh yeah,

244
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.799
that is true. I remember leaving. We would leave to go to the

245
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.720
club at like eleven pm. That's
that was the time to go out.

246
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.480
Yeah, they is now at eleven
pm. That's when I wake up to

247
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:29.799
take my first p I wish that
wasn't true, But it's visit us online

248
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:42.880

phone number to call cook df W

250
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.640
And that's the number you call to

cook list. The cook list is
the list that you can get on where

254
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.440

well. Now, speaking of walking around

255
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:12.079
and being on roofs Daniel, I
saw a story the other day about a

256
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:18.079
lobster lady from Maine who still works
runs her own boat. She's one hundred

257
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.480
and four years old and says,
I'm still the boss. I couldn't help

258
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:27.200
but think of you and wonder at
one hundred and four, if Daniel makes

259
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.759
it to that glorious age, is
he's still going to be up on the

260
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.839
roof saying I'm the boss? Uh, part of me saying absolutely not.

261
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.920
But then in the back of my
head I can see that I'm probably want

262
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:45.640
to do something and within working and
still because the worst thing if you make

263
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:47.599
it to one hundred four, God
bless you, first of all, my

264
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:52.119
goodness. Second of all, I've
read so many articles and I've seen I've

265
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.839
seen this firsthand. When you kind
of stop in your age and you stop

266
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.000
getting out and you stop having us
you know things to do and having you

267
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.079
know the same you know items that
you are used to having to. I

268
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.079
think your body just shuts down,
and I don't think it's good for you.

269
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.640
And hey, I pulled this lady. She's out here hustling every day,

270
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:18.319
still making an item to go out
and work and keep her systems working.

271
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.160
I mean, heck again, God
bless her man me. I don't

272
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:23.920
know the roofs. So that's a
difficult deal. Then that's true. I

273
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.079
did. I did take into account
industry. She's on a boat on the

274
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.960
water. No, lobstering is not
easy. No, but she's also not

275
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.720
up on roofs every day. Yeah. Now, hey, maybe maybe I

276
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:38.839
just go and walk around the projects
with my part with my PMS at that

277
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:44.319
time, and maybe I'll introduce myself
to some clients, you know, oversee

278
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:45.960
some projects. I could see that
being something you could do in a hundred

279
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.960

that have that has been going on
in the world over the holiday weekends.

291
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:59.759
So let's dive in, shall we. And I he that reads eerily familiar

292
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:08.279
to one of my all time favorite
movies. Four shark attacks reported at South

293
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:15.240
Padre Island during fourth of July weekend. Yeah, m the whole kept waiting

294
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.319
for the Mayor of South Padre to
go We're not closing the beaches. It

295
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:25.200
wasn't based on the photos. A
couple of the photos I saw, Yeah

296
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:26.799
it was. I saw. I
don't know if it was a lady or

297
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:33.680
a dude or whatever. I saw
somebody's leg in from one of the shark

298
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.559
attacks. Who no longer had a
calf, like the bone was still there,

299
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.920
but a chunk was taken out of
her calf. Yeah. I saw

300
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:48.039
some of like some footage of people
that were just filming the water and every

301
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.920
wave that came in you could see
the sharks, which means don't don't go

302
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.519
in the water. Yeah. Yeah, they haven't many movies telling you about

303
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:03.799
that. Brought you four four in
the same day. We're travels, like,

304
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.559
you know, after the first one, you go, if you know

305
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.559
what, I can just hang out
on the beach. Yeah, you know

306
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:18.880
what's nice. Sand a buddy of
mine who's his sister is a swimmer and

307
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.480
she will go to visit him in
Venice Beach and she always gets in the

308
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.519
water and he is only he says, he goes ankle deep and that's as

309
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.640
far as he will go into the
ocean. And she always yells at him.

310
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:32.000
She's like, you're just such a
baby. That's you know, shark

311
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.359
attacks are rare. He goes where
you are rare where I am. Never

312
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.799
hard to argue with that, especially
if if you were swimming in the water

313
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.440
around Padre Island over the weekend.
I mean, it really is like four.

314
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:52.519
I'm sorry, one one in one
day. I'm not I'm not going

315
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.160
in past past my ankles. I
will revert to five year old me going

316
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:02.279
to the beach for the very first
time on a family vacation and probably neglectfully

317
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:07.359
so and definitely irresponsibly. So I
was allowed to watch Jaws at that age.

318
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.480
I did not go in the ocean
past my ankles. I was so

319
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:12.799
scared. All I did was un
hang on on the beach and collect seashells.

320
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:22.240
That's when childhood. You is sad
about childhood you it's not even a

321
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:27.960
DoPT you know, that's just sad. Yeah, I just never. I

322
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:33.119
don't understand the ocean. I don't
understand why you need a skydive. I

323
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.359
don't understand any of that stuff.
Like you'll never hear you'll never see the

324
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.240
headline comedian rash Arma attacked by shark. Never unless it unless it's like a

325
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.319
loan shark or a pool shark.
There's like, like, oh, somebody

326
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:51.440
money, that's the only time shark
is going to attack me. Not gonna

327
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:56.799
happen. That's their hood. I
stay out of their hood. And that's

328
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:02.400
one of the things I don't mind
about here with the Caribbean waters is you

329
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:07.599
know, there are dangerous sharks here, but they're way farther out in deeper

330
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.920
waters, and if they were to
ever in close to shore, you can

331
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.960
see them really, really well because
the water's so clear. But I've also

332
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:18.839
been told that one of the reasons
why the water's so clear here is because

333
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.799
there's not a whole lot of nutrients
in the water. And when there's not

334
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.319
a whole lot of nutrients in the
water, there's not a whole lot of

335
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.920
fish. So in order to get
good stuff fishing wise, you have to

336
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.279
go way far out to either the
North Drop or the South Drop, and

337
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.480
that's you know, not close whereas
it, say Padre, where the water's

338
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.759
kind of brown, nutrient rich,
which means lots of fish, which means

339
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:47.279
sharks. Yeah, and you want
to ever see me fishing. I've never

340
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:48.880
done that before. Don't feel the
need to do that. About to be

341
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.319
forty nine, not going to start
today, So I'm good. I'm good.

342
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:56.759
Where the I like the sand I
like the the sun, like a

343
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:02.680
blutle blanket, maybe a sandwich of
the day. A packed beach in a

344
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.519
swell of July holiday, loads of
people waiting in Gulf of Mexico waters enjoying

345
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:11.599
some warmer than usual surf ahead of
hurricane's arrival. Just beyond the swimmers,

346
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:18.240
an eager and hungry shark lurk jaws
played out in real life around eleven am

347
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.240
on Thursday close to Beach Access number
four on South Padre Island. I bet

348
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:33.559
that's a cool shirt. Beach Access
number fourteen anyway. Jaws played out real

349
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.279
life close to Beach Access number fourteen
on South Padre Island as what's believed to

350
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.519
be a single shark. Four people
in the Gulf. Of those attacked,

351
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.079
two were bitten, one severely on
the leg. Off duty Border Patrol agents

352
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.599
from the Search, Trauma and Rescue
unit pulled the leg bite victim out of

353
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.519
the water and applied to tourniquet.
Two victims were sent for medical evaluation,

354
00:30:52.680 --> 00:31:00.759
while one was flown out of Brown
Area for additional treatment. Another of the

355
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.039
four victims, an eighteen year old
woman named Victoria, was injured after the

356
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.319
shark's teeth scratched her leg. Her
parents told CNN that her wounds were not

357
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.359
deep and that she would receive a
tetanus shot, but that was probably more

358
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:19.640
from the water, not the shark
from one of the needles that floated by.

359
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.359
I feel like even sharks, sharks
are just getting desperate if they're going

360
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:33.880
to Padre, you know it's the
Gulf of Mexico. When Border patrol shows

361
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:45.079
up for a shark. You're listening
to the Treehouse visitor is online at treehouse

362
00:31:45.759 --> 00:32:07.400
dot com. You're in the Treehouse
Listen is online on Treehouse on Air dot

363
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:15.480
com. I love the headline though
of that story where it I think it

364
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:21.920
was on the Houston Chronicle, It
said should Texans be worried about or shark

365
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.759
attacks in one day? Or no? I'm sorry. It says after South

366
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:34.400
Padre Island shark attack, how much
should Texans worry as the four people that

367
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:44.000
got bit? Anyways, there are
other things that happened over the weekend and

368
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:50.519
last week that are almost too stupid
to believe, and that's what we really

369
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:57.559
thrive upon here in the Treouse,
such as my favorite story over the last

370
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:05.680
week, as found one and only
Trade Trenholme with the headline woman uses hand

371
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:13.279
grenade as hammer for twenty years,
lives to tell the tail. When I

372
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.400
first saw the headline, I thought
it was going to be one of those

373
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:22.799
traditional American style hand grenades, like
the old pineapple hand grenade, you know,

374
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:27.640
or the round ones you know,
very obvious with the pin that you

375
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:32.640
pull and throw type hand grenade style. But in this woman's very limited defense,

376
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:37.319
and I mean very limited here,
the hand grenade she was using as

377
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:43.400
a hammer for twenty years was of
a different origin and looked more similar to

378
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:47.200
one of those potato masher World War
two style grenades that the Germans uke in

379
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:52.599
the day. So I guess I
could see how you wouldn't automatically assume that's

380
00:33:52.640 --> 00:34:00.519
a grenade. But I still know
what a potato masher German hand grenade looked

381
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:06.000
like. And I wasn't about to
go hitting that on any nails. I

382
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:07.119
don't have a I don't have a
refer I don't know what it looks like.

383
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:15.360
I will show you give me a
moment here. You know, the

384
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.079
lights you would put like in your
yard along the sidewalk that you know,

385
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.239
kind of stick in the ground and
have a little head on top that lights

386
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.519
up. Yeah, with a handle. Yes, that's kind of what they

387
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:31.840
would That was a hand grenad.
Yes, interesting, here you go.

388
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:37.639
This is what it looks like.
Jaj oh. Yes, And that is

389
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.519
not good. No, that's a
hell of an understatement by you there,

390
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:49.519
sir, And she was using that
as a oh there we go. Yeah.

391
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:53.239
Well. A ninety year old Chinese
woman unknowingly used an old hand grenade

392
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:59.360
to crack nuts and hammer nails for
two decades. After finally exploded ordnance in

393
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:02.719
a field. One day, the
woman told Chinese reporters that she was working

394
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:07.000
on her farm when she found this
strange metal lump with a wooden handle.

395
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:09.840
Convinced it was a makeshift hammer,
she took it home and used it to

396
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:14.960
pound all kinds of objects, from
nuts to metal nails. It was only

397
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.920
last week of men working on demolishing
her old house noticed a hand grenade that

398
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:24.559
the retired woman learned she'd been gambling
with her entire life every time she used

399
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:28.719
it, and she used it a
lot. Police reported that the grenade's wooden

400
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.920
handle had become smooth and glossy from
the years of use, while the metallic

401
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:42.920
was full of dents. And I
figured you'd look at that and go,

402
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:50.039
oh gosh, I remember playing catch
at school. I was gonna say something

403
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:54.320
the same thing. The ninety year
old Chinese lady was adopted from the Wesleyan

404
00:35:54.360 --> 00:36:06.000
School in Barbleshire. We pulled from
a different play bind that's very distinguished alumni.

405
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:15.559
They're distinguished. They all survive.
The graveyard behind my kindergarten looks like

406
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:30.039
the only school that had a mandatory
class about being a ball bearer. There's

407
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:51.320
an in memoriam section on the yearbook
for kindergartener God but not forgotten see it.

408
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:53.719
I don't know how it was where
you guys went to kindergarten, but

409
00:36:53.760 --> 00:37:07.280
at my school when we played war, we played keeps. You don't want

410
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:13.760
to know what cowboys and Indians look
I grew up in Mosquite. I know

411
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:20.760
what that looks like. Oh there
you have Trios episode one oh three.

412
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:24.639
Clearly if you couldn't figure it out
by now, if it's stupid, it's

413
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:28.039
in here and we're going to play
with it a lot. But kind of

414
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:32.599
like how I did with the with
the toys at my school, spend the

415
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:45.559
bottle. That's really different. Cops
and Robbers came with actual prison sentences.

416
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:55.280
We didn't have recess. We had
weekend passes. We'll see you next time

417
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:55.960
in the treehouse
