Speaker 1 (00:21):
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley along
with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma, who apparently got the
black shirt memo I did. You could look at us
all go in our sexy black shirt.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I was actually wearing an orange shirt and I was like, nope,
that'll change real quick.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
No, you know, sorry, there's there's I know it's starting
to get into Halloween season, but there's no reason to
dress like a pumpkin inside the treehouse.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh it's my wccw Sportatorium shirt. Like, it's pretty.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Cool, all right, I take it back. You should support
that thing.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, wear it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Speaking of things that are orange, yesterday we were talking
about how pumpkin spice searches have gone through the roof
according to Google, and there's even things that people search
for very specific pumpkin spice scented and flavored things such
as pumpkin spice underwear. And we also learned that people
(01:25):
search for pumpkin spice toilet paper. I would like to
take this opportunity to thank Jarrett, one of our Ultimate
Treehouse subscribers, for informing me that dude Wipes is in
on the pumpkin spice trend because Dudewipes has and I
(01:45):
quote from Jarrett, Dudewipes has a dumpkin spice wipe.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with no. I will pass on that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I like the dude Wipes. I am a user of
the dude Wipes. I'm fine with the mint eucalyptus original scent.
I don't really need a pumpkin spice butthole.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But mint eucalyptus wasn't it wouldn't that be like a
little burning.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
No, it's it's sort of a fresh feeling.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Okay, So it's just the scent. It's not that that
doesn't have like eucalyptus oil in it.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I don't think so. No, I think it's just a
scented thing.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
So you like your asshole being minty fresh?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Or or does she?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Really, at a certain point, if you're going to get
scented wipes, maybe ask somebody who's down there on a
regular basis what scent they prefer. So instead of thinking
about what you want, maybe think about others.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
But what if they come back with like them?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The griddle, the baby, we're going to McDonald's, just some
random breakfast food. When you find out what they really like.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Chick fil A has an opportunity here.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
What is it, the honey chicken butter biscuit, whatever it
is that. Yeah, I've never had one.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
But they're tasty. They are very very tasty. Yeah, yeah,
along with the chicken minies.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So I guess it makes sense if if you really,
really really want to do something for others, while you
could donate to charity instead, you could just ask what
scent of wipes you would they would like you to use,
or if they even cared, they may not have a
prefer friends.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
They need to have a preference, do they.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes, you say that so strongly, it's as if that
it's as if that should be a first date question.
It's like, okay, so if this moved to the next level,
what type of ass wipes do you prefer?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Go ahead try.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean, I feel like you should aproach the subject
of if they're going to eat ass first before you
talk about what tastes the flavor they'll enjoy.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh, if you're on if you're on a first date,
then you should already know. I think I think I
think you get that out of the way via text
before you set that first date. It's just that's just
the list of questions to get to the next round.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So two things do you eat?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Ask?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And how's the chicken?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Dating really has uh eve over the years.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's you know, you have to you have to ask,
make sure what you know? What what page you're both on.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You really need to know. And really it just saves
everybody time if you know what you're kind of into
or not into, right, I mean people put I mean
I'm ironically enough, I'm speaking completely out of my own
ass here because I have not dated in over a decade.
Uh and so I don't really know what the current
(05:32):
I don't know slate of questions or get to know
you type stuff people are engaging in before actually going
on a first date. Because so much of all this
stuff is online now, I don't know if you're having
to go through a questionnaire before you meet up with someone.
I don't know how much people put in their dating profiles. Yeah,
(05:52):
I don't know these things.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, that's uh, I don't I don't think match asks
you those questions. I don't think that's on the match
dot Com questionnaire.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like, well, they may not ask it, but that doesn't
mean you can't include it. I mean, if you're really
into something, maybe you want to put that as part
of your handle or your profile name, like ass eater
twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Mm.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah, uh, I think you'd have to go sixty nine
if you're gonna go that.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, I went with the two two's the double yeah,
I mean yeah, the double duce.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, that's gonna be. That's what I'll do. I'll be
I'll just go on match. I just want to see
who it attracts. I'll just go double duce is my handle,
and see who see who starts.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
No, I think you should go under his ass eater
and I bet you're gonna have to have a number,
because I guarantee you someone's already got it.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I don't want to see who responds.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You're not the least bit curious.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
No, you can just wear a shirt that says acid
twenty two and walk down Oaklawn and see how it goes.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You won't make it a block. You will be popular.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I'll be the bell of the ball at the round.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It'll be like a buffet. But I mean, Raja, I
think you kind of have a girlfriend now, so you're
off the market. But Trey, you're still you're still swinging
out there. So if do you have anything in your
online dating profile that is just kind of out there? No,
(07:43):
you don't put in there like your sober or that
you know all women come after your chihuahua.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I don't. I don't really even have a dating profile
at the moment. I'm not.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Online dating is just a cesspool. I've it's again things
you know, when you're over forty, over fifty, online dating
it's it's just it's worthless.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Well, if you're going into it with that level of hope,
I can't imagine you attracting anyone fun.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I'm not going into it with that level of hope.
I have been through it, and I mean it's not like,
you know, it's like running a marathon and then going
I don't like running marathons, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, so you know, maybe maybe though you're just you
haven't hit your era just yet. Maybe you'll hit your
sweet spot over the age of sixty. Like over the
age of sixty you are going I mean, you're already
a catch, but once you get over sixty, you'll really
be a catch because you'll be able to drive at night. Uh,
(09:03):
you know how to operate computers. You're single, never never married, no.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Kids, still have bowel control.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
These are important things the older we get. These are
the things you can put in your new dating profile.
I can control ass and I can eat ass. I mean, who.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Wouldn't want you? It brings new me into control all delete.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And if we're and if we're being honest, if you
are into that, I think it's important that you find
someone that also can control their bowels.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yes, I think because I know that out on the
first couple of dates.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean I don't know on day three when you
have to change their diaper. That's a different story. Yeah,
you know now if you have to change their diaper,
you're in it for the money.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, because like, get in your twenties, follow me to
the back. That room was hot, And when you're in
your fifties and sixties, oh, follow.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Me to the bath I might not make it all
the way there, or when they picked the bathroom with
the changing station.

Absolutely, Dan, It's a very fun time when you get
to go outside in the backyard and start putting together
some ideas for folks that you know, want to use
their backyard more and they just don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
What to do with it.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
They thought they you know, it was really cool when
they went to some friend's house and they have, you know,
a nice extended patio and it's got to cover on
it and they're able to go out there and watch
TV and they have a little beer cooler on it.

and so that's all important stuff. And then on top

Blok bathrooms in China make you watch ads to get
toilet paper?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Interesting?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
This is terrifying.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I figured because it was Asia that would go with
the water system. M hm.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
So I don't know how public bathrooms work in other countries.
I do not have enough experience. Most of the countries
I've been to all operate on the Western American style
bathroom setup situation, but in China things are very, very different.
If you walk into a public bathroom in China, in
(13:40):
order to get toilet paper, you may have to watch
an ad. It's a video that's actually gone viral and
it shows how it works. You scan a QR code
that plays an AD on your phone. Then the machine
spits out a modest amount of toilet paper, something like
six squares, and if you need more, you have to
watch another ad. And for those of us that like
(14:01):
to use lots of toilet paper because you don't want
any accidents, then you may be there a while.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Can I just watch a sitcom?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm with you. I mean, look, if it's me, I'm
in China, my stomach's not used to their cuisine. Just
pop in a documentary. I'm going to be in here
for a bit.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You're feeling better. Yeah, and World War Two was amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I watched it in color and black and white. They
do give you the option that if you don't want
to watch an ad, you can pay a few cents
for toilet paper instead.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, that makes more sense.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I mean, God, if you're in Mexico and they did that,
you could watch a Band of.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Brothers, including the including the interviews with the real guy
that airs after the all the episodes.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Oh, don't discount India, my friends.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I mean, if you really think about it, I mean,
this really is It's look, pay as you go. Toilet
paper is something that I would expect out of a
capitalist society here in America, not in China. And I
hope we never adopt it.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Well, I mean it's it's for a niche audience. I'm
guessing because they do have the I just looked it up.
They like they use the water like the bidet system.
So it's people that are probably like expats or maybe
the younger generation is hip to the Western style of
using toilet, but usually squatting as well, So if it's
(15:50):
a Western toilet, there's probably tourists and expats trying to
use his bidets. I mean, yeah, they have the water
host system, just like in India as well.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I know Japan loves them a fancy toilet, but they do.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, they're pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I have yet to experience a true Japanese toilet. I've
seen them on television and film, and honestly, I feel
like Captain America wielding mulenir was just as exciting as me.
Trying a Japanese toilet will be.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I mean you can heat the seat, the seat and
then the water can be the temperature can be adjusted
for the water.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, it's amazing, gets anything done.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I've seen two of them in neither of one of
them work correctly, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
See, I'm surprised that raj you would be so on
board with the fancy technology forward Japanese toilets because you're
terrified of AI, so I would think you would be
a little cautious around advanced technology toilets.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I think it's I mean, I think the technology technology
is a little different than I mean, if it starts
talking to me, I'm leaving like nice boop, Raj, I'm like,
we're out.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I'm more scary. It's called it's called boundaries.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I am more shocked at A. Raj understood your geeky
Marvel Thor reference and b didn't call you out on it.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
No, I mean, I don't think you understood it at all.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No, I understand, I got it. I'm I'm a Marvel
fan as well. So but no, now I'm getting used
to you guys doing this. At first, it was like
you guys are super nerds, and it used to just
be me the nerd that was the nerdy one in
the room. So when you make these references now I'm like, oh,
go nerds.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I love you guys, because if you put me on
the spot, what was the name of Thor's hammer, I
couldn't have told you.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
It's important to not just look at the films but watch.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Them over and over, apparently like I have kind of done.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I think me and a Japanese toilet would be quite
dangerous because with the heated sea and the temperature controlled water,
I mean, I'm on a toilet for way too long
as it is, like like I've seen news articles where
it's like and we've talked about it here on the
show before, where they're like, you should not be on
the toilet for more than a few minutes, and if
any additional time you spend there, you're likely to develop hemorrhoids,
(18:34):
or it's just not healthy for you, or I don't know,
go outside and socialize instead. So if you then introduce
into my toilet time a high end Japanese toilet, I
really may not have much of a reason to come out.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Going to be your version of the start per image
of recliner I live here now, especially if it has
a massage function.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh god, oh yeah, then it doesn't matter what scent
I get of wipes.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, throwing a VR helmet, Yeah you are, You're never leaving.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
That's a good.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I could rule the world up from that from my throne.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I just no.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Remember that video we played a long time ago about
you know, they had like the spinning casket with a
guy in the car.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Oh yeah, that's your.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
You're you're gonna be the guy on the toilet with
your little helmet on and spinning around your funeral.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's probably how I died, and you probably couldn't get
me off the toilet, so you just just picked the
whole thing up and just stuck it. Yeah, that actually
might track.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm not coming to that roll. He looks so peaceful, You're.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Like, he really he died doing or what he loves,
which is alone taking a dump. I will say, I
find it. I find it interesting that growing up as kids,
we had no problem drinking water, you know, out of
(20:25):
the hose. Uh. And you're saying, rag that that's the
same type of system they use for butt cleaning in
other countries.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Well, it's I mean, it's attached to the wall. It's
it's not you know, it's not made for you know,
everybody there knows not to drink it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, so it's so it so everyone. So that's not
drinkable water. That's just like it's not mouthwater. It's just
ass water.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I think it can be whatever you want to be.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I think I think I think people need to know.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, we we just use it for your butt.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And it's just it's just a little it's the hose
isn't too long to like if you were to try
to drink it. You were trying to drink it, like
that's the thing. It wasn't like since it's here, but.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I would think you want a lot of slack on
it because or are you supposed to like back up
to it.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
No, you just kind of you kind of you just
kind of take it off the thing and in between
your legs and give it a give it some spray
and it comes out pretty fast and it cleans and
then you kind of wait a minute or two it
does it dry?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Having a does it have an adjustable nozzle? So if
you want more or less? I mean this, I mean
if if if you can choose it for your plants outside,
I would think you'd want the same function, you know,
for your backside.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Uh no, uh it uh it's it's in a public restroom.
It's one function, but like at home, you can have
different settings and different speeds and yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Not a super soaker, it kind of is.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
All week, we've been covering the twenty things that we
grew up with that would destroy kids today. We've done
really really well. We've made it all the way through
ten eleven things. We've made it to eleven things. Pretty
good for us because we're a slow moving top type
(23:00):
of show when it comes to these types of deals.
But we've been doing all week. We started on the
Treehouse plus episode we covered the first handful of things
that would destroy kids today that we all grew up with,
and then we did a few more yesterday, and we're
gonna do just a few more today, all right, So
here we go the continuation of twenty things that would
destroy kids today that we all grew up with. Number twelve,
(23:21):
calling your friend's house because you'd probably have to talk
to their parents first, Like, yeah, actually I did. It
was very intentional, like if you wanted to hang out
with someone, you had two options. You called or you
just went over there. Yeah, and if they live far away,
then you had to call.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
And for the most part you you had to be
polite on the phone and say, you know, hi, missus,
O'Malley this is Trey Man.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I speak to Dan please you know who.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Is Yeah, And my mom really loved loved that because
she'd get the good the polite child that would do
that and call and then she'd be like no and
hang up.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah. See that was the benefit I had. Like I said,
we had our own line upstairs, so I didn't have
to worry about anybody else answering the phone.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It was.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It was just it was me, so I'd have them
call me.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I'm like, if you want to call, did you have
a business card as well? Here's my number?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
You go, I'm indeed, of course I didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah, number thirteen, No caller ID. You just had
to be ready to talk to whoever was calling you had.
It was all a mystery, no idea it was calling.
But if it's if the phone is ringing, there's a
reason for it. So you answered it and you would
run to it because you didn't want to miss the call.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, but I mean in those days, I mean, hell
if it I mean it was probably a wrong number.
But I mean he didn't have the spam robocalls and
all that other stuff. No, And now the other the
other thing about phone calling that is also something that
would be completely lost is the fact you had to
remember phone numbers.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yes, I talk about that on stage. I was like
if if people my age go to jail to night,
we're getting out in an hour. You guys are stuck
because you're keep trying to dial four and see what happens.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
You might as well just beat your face against that
machine because you're not going to know anything useful.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh. I've asked kids, I'm like, do you know any
phone numbers? Like no, I'm like any at all, Like
not even like nine to one one?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Do you know your own area code?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Jesus yeah, and you'll be stunned these kids. I'm like,
I can. I can remember only numbers off the top
of my head if I if I'm in a pinch
and I need to call somebody.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I think this might be one of the oldest man
things that I do and will die with. I still
have my original cell phone number, and I will die
with that phone number.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Oh I do too. That's I have had mine for
twenty nine years.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I guess I've had mine for twenty five.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah. I had to switch mine about fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh, that makes me nauseous just to think about it.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, because I switched services and then like you can't
that's before you could bring your number over. So maybe
it was twenty years ago before you could bring your
own number over. But I still remember what mine was,
and I do know that people have called it and
have told me that the lady who has my phone
will if they text, she'll respond back with not the comedian.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It's nice of her, I guess, but yeah, I mean
answering the phone back in the d like everything has
come full circle now. Because we were young, there was
no caller ID and you answered the phone. Now when
someone calls and it says no caller ID, we throw
that phone across the room.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We want none of it. No, No, it's like scam
likely spam. I'll tell you what the the intentions of
that caller is, right, which which tells you if nothing
comes up.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Then you know that's some dark web stuff. I want
none of it.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, I mean you or would screen call? I mean
you could screen calls when the answering machine sort of yeah,
came on board. I was pretty popular. Yeah mine somewhere.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
There you go. And then getting the actual little caller
ID extension unit with phone yeah all right, number fourteen,
blowing into your video games to make them work. Yes, which,
by the way, if you really want to feel old,
not that you have a choice here. Just the other day,
(27:49):
Super Mario Brothers turned forty.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And on Pond Stars, I believe a guys sold the
original I was trying to sell the original suit for
Mario Brothers, like sealed and in the actual box, and
he wouldn't take less than one point five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I someone's gonna buy it, I hold out.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah. They said there was a similar one that was sold,
the gold one that was like a limited dish one
that came out, Oh yeah, sold for like four million
dollars something crazy like that.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
There was I forget the name of the show on Netflix.
It was like It's Golden Auctions. But they one episode
was about this guy. They went to his house and
he had, I mean the most amazing video game collection.
I mean he had all the originals from Nintendo, like Atari, Sega, everything,
and I forgot what the number they threw out that
(28:47):
it was worth, but I mean it was millions.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
But I mean do they even do they even have
game character anymore? Or is everything online?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I think it's all online now, yeah, I think it's
all online.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I never had to I never had to use that
because we didn't. We weren't allowed to have the video
game stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Oh yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I had the original Nintendo for a couple of weeks.
It was a Buddy of Mines and it was one
hour every Saturday. I could. I could excite Bike was
the only thing I played.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
So yeah, I never had I saw people do it
and I'm like, does that really work? And it did.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I still remember. I still remember kindergarten and they had
a Nintendo in the school that they had brought in
and we were all taking turn to playing Super Mario
Brothers and Duck Hunt because it was, you know, the
combo thing.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
So I still remember that.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yeah. And then.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I was fortunate because my dad was kind of computer
geeky nerdy because not only did we have the Apple
to E when it came out, my dad also had
the Atari twenty six hundred and we uh, so I
grew up with that. So I we grew up playing
computer games and things. So there was a I was.
I was fortunate to be able to have not every system,
(30:08):
but I had a Nintendo. Then I had a Sega.
I had a game Boy. Oh game Boy.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, we had the in television when I was really
really young. That was like the first one. And that
was because you know, we were kids, like young young kids,
so it's like that'll entertain them while you know, the
adults do whatever the stuff around the house they needed
to do. When we got to you know, reading, writing
and math and all that, then I was like, no
more games, now you study. That's when the Indian side
(30:34):
came out. I was like, you get one hour a week,
and I was like, this is just I like, excite bike,
but this is I'm done now.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
So yeah, last one for today of the twenty things
that would destroy kids today that we all lived through.
Number fifteen getting a summer job.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I didn't. I didn't. We mowed lawns. That's what.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
That's a job that absolutely counts that. That was your job.
And that was good because you learned about business and
entrepreneurialship and all that kind of stuff and you know,
sweating outside and stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, and I also learned that adults will rip the
rip kids off really fucking quick. They do. Man, They're
like we were charging I think it was twenty this
is I mean, I was fourteen thirteen. It was me
and my buddy AJ next door, and he had the
lawnmowers and the weed Eater and we would do the
(31:29):
front in the back. We're like, hey, can we do
fifteen dollars for the front fifteen dollars for the back?
And they're like, how about we just give you twenty
flat And it's like one hundreds it's one hundred thousand
degrees outside in Mesquites and I'm like, ah, man, but
it's twenty bucks. And we would get four or five
lines in a day.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
There you go, Yeah, that's not bad. So that was
your So that was your first job.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
That was my first job, and then my first actual
job was the Mesquite Rodeo. But yeah, I worked at
the road. Yet I love both of you.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Apparently DEI is not new. The difference was you didn't
want to be there either.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Don Gay was ahead of his time.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Oh sorry, all right, good stuff for all things Treehouse,
Treehouse on Air, dot com, find and follow us on
social media. For the show, it's at Treehouse on Air.
For me, it's at the Daniel Valley. For Trey, it's
at Trede Trenholm. Is it at Trey Trinholm or at
Trey Trinholm one. For some reason, I've forgotten.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
It's Tree Trinholm one.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
I don't know why it has changed, So.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Switch your little graphicky thing back all right, and Farage,
it's at Comedian Rag. We will see you tomorrow, right
back here inside the treehouse.
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan ol Malley along
with Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma, who apparently got the
black shirt memo I did. You could look at us
all go in our sexy black shirt.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I was actually wearing an orange shirt and I was like, nope,
that'll change real quick.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
No, you know, sorry, there's there's I know it's starting
to get into Halloween season, but there's no reason to
dress like a pumpkin inside the treehouse.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh it's my wccw Sportatorium shirt. Like, it's pretty.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Cool, all right, I take it back. You should support
that thing.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, wear it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Speaking of things that are orange, yesterday we were talking
about how pumpkin spice searches have gone through the roof
according to Google, and there's even things that people search
for very specific pumpkin spice scented and flavored things such
as pumpkin spice underwear. And we also learned that people
(01:25):
search for pumpkin spice toilet paper. I would like to
take this opportunity to thank Jarrett, one of our Ultimate
Treehouse subscribers, for informing me that dude Wipes is in
on the pumpkin spice trend because Dudewipes has and I
(01:45):
quote from Jarrett, Dudewipes has a dumpkin spice wipe.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with no. I will pass on that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I like the dude Wipes. I am a user of
the dude Wipes. I'm fine with the mint eucalyptus original scent.
I don't really need a pumpkin spice butthole.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But mint eucalyptus wasn't it wouldn't that be like a
little burning.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
No, it's it's sort of a fresh feeling.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Okay, So it's just the scent. It's not that that
doesn't have like eucalyptus oil in it.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I don't think so. No, I think it's just a
scented thing.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
So you like your asshole being minty fresh?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Or or does she?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Really, at a certain point, if you're going to get
scented wipes, maybe ask somebody who's down there on a
regular basis what scent they prefer. So instead of thinking
about what you want, maybe think about others.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
But what if they come back with like them?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The griddle, the baby, we're going to McDonald's, just some
random breakfast food. When you find out what they really like.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Chick fil A has an opportunity here.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
What is it, the honey chicken butter biscuit, whatever it
is that. Yeah, I've never had one.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
But they're tasty. They are very very tasty. Yeah, yeah,
along with the chicken minies.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So I guess it makes sense if if you really,
really really want to do something for others, while you
could donate to charity instead, you could just ask what
scent of wipes you would they would like you to use,
or if they even cared, they may not have a
prefer friends.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
They need to have a preference, do they.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes, you say that so strongly, it's as if that
it's as if that should be a first date question.
It's like, okay, so if this moved to the next level,
what type of ass wipes do you prefer?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Go ahead try.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean, I feel like you should aproach the subject
of if they're going to eat ass first before you
talk about what tastes the flavor they'll enjoy.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh, if you're on if you're on a first date,
then you should already know. I think I think I
think you get that out of the way via text
before you set that first date. It's just that's just
the list of questions to get to the next round.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So two things do you eat?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Ask?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And how's the chicken?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Dating really has uh eve over the years.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's you know, you have to you have to ask,
make sure what you know? What what page you're both on.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You really need to know. And really it just saves
everybody time if you know what you're kind of into
or not into, right, I mean people put I mean
I'm ironically enough, I'm speaking completely out of my own
ass here because I have not dated in over a decade.
Uh and so I don't really know what the current
(05:32):
I don't know slate of questions or get to know
you type stuff people are engaging in before actually going
on a first date. Because so much of all this
stuff is online now, I don't know if you're having
to go through a questionnaire before you meet up with someone.
I don't know how much people put in their dating profiles. Yeah,
(05:52):
I don't know these things.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, that's uh, I don't I don't think match asks
you those questions. I don't think that's on the match
dot Com questionnaire.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like, well, they may not ask it, but that doesn't
mean you can't include it. I mean, if you're really
into something, maybe you want to put that as part
of your handle or your profile name, like ass eater
twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Mm.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah, uh, I think you'd have to go sixty nine
if you're gonna go that.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, I went with the two two's the double yeah,
I mean yeah, the double duce.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, that's gonna be. That's what I'll do. I'll be
I'll just go on match. I just want to see
who it attracts. I'll just go double duce is my handle,
and see who see who starts.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
No, I think you should go under his ass eater
and I bet you're gonna have to have a number,
because I guarantee you someone's already got it.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I don't want to see who responds.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You're not the least bit curious.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
No, you can just wear a shirt that says acid
twenty two and walk down Oaklawn and see how it goes.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You won't make it a block. You will be popular.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I'll be the bell of the ball at the round.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It'll be like a buffet. But I mean, Raja, I
think you kind of have a girlfriend now, so you're
off the market. But Trey, you're still you're still swinging
out there. So if do you have anything in your
online dating profile that is just kind of out there? No,
(07:43):
you don't put in there like your sober or that
you know all women come after your chihuahua.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I don't. I don't really even have a dating profile
at the moment. I'm not.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Online dating is just a cesspool. I've it's again things
you know, when you're over forty, over fifty, online dating
it's it's just it's worthless.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Well, if you're going into it with that level of hope,
I can't imagine you attracting anyone fun.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I'm not going into it with that level of hope.
I have been through it, and I mean it's not like,
you know, it's like running a marathon and then going
I don't like running marathons, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, so you know, maybe maybe though you're just you
haven't hit your era just yet. Maybe you'll hit your
sweet spot over the age of sixty. Like over the
age of sixty you are going I mean, you're already
a catch, but once you get over sixty, you'll really
be a catch because you'll be able to drive at night. Uh,
(09:03):
you know how to operate computers. You're single, never never married, no.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Kids, still have bowel control.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
These are important things the older we get. These are
the things you can put in your new dating profile.
I can control ass and I can eat ass. I mean, who.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Wouldn't want you? It brings new me into control all delete.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And if we're and if we're being honest, if you
are into that, I think it's important that you find
someone that also can control their bowels.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yes, I think because I know that out on the
first couple of dates.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean I don't know on day three when you
have to change their diaper. That's a different story. Yeah,
you know now if you have to change their diaper,
you're in it for the money.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, because like, get in your twenties, follow me to
the back. That room was hot, And when you're in
your fifties and sixties, oh, follow.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Me to the bath I might not make it all
the way there, or when they picked the bathroom with
the changing station.

Absolutely, Dan, It's a very fun time when you get
to go outside in the backyard and start putting together
some ideas for folks that you know, want to use
their backyard more and they just don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
What to do with it.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
They thought they you know, it was really cool when
they went to some friend's house and they have, you know,
a nice extended patio and it's got to cover on
it and they're able to go out there and watch
TV and they have a little beer cooler on it.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
All those things.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
And so when we come out and say, yeah, all
that's possible, let's let's make a design. Let's show you
what's visible. We show you some photos of previous projects.
We can measure out what your you know, expectations of
how much of the backyard you want to utilize for this,
and so that's all important stuff. And then on top
of that, right now, we're going to be running a
promotion that everybody that calls us has us come out,
(11:33):
do an estimate, show them what they could be having.
They're going to get in into a promotion, and at

Blok bathrooms in China make you watch ads to get
toilet paper?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Interesting?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
This is terrifying.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I figured because it was Asia that would go with
the water system. M hm.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
So I don't know how public bathrooms work in other countries.
I do not have enough experience. Most of the countries
I've been to all operate on the Western American style
bathroom setup situation, but in China things are very, very different.
If you walk into a public bathroom in China, in
(13:40):
order to get toilet paper, you may have to watch
an ad. It's a video that's actually gone viral and
it shows how it works. You scan a QR code
that plays an AD on your phone. Then the machine
spits out a modest amount of toilet paper, something like
six squares, and if you need more, you have to
watch another ad. And for those of us that like
(14:01):
to use lots of toilet paper because you don't want
any accidents, then you may be there a while.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Can I just watch a sitcom?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm with you. I mean, look, if it's me, I'm
in China, my stomach's not used to their cuisine. Just
pop in a documentary. I'm going to be in here
for a bit.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You're feeling better. Yeah, and World War Two was amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I watched it in color and black and white. They
do give you the option that if you don't want
to watch an ad, you can pay a few cents
for toilet paper instead.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, that makes more sense.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I mean, God, if you're in Mexico and they did that,
you could watch a Band of.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Brothers, including the including the interviews with the real guy
that airs after the all the episodes.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Oh, don't discount India, my friends.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I mean, if you really think about it, I mean,
this really is It's look, pay as you go. Toilet
paper is something that I would expect out of a
capitalist society here in America, not in China. And I
hope we never adopt it.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Well, I mean it's it's for a niche audience. I'm
guessing because they do have the I just looked it up.
They like they use the water like the bidet system.
So it's people that are probably like expats or maybe
the younger generation is hip to the Western style of
using toilet, but usually squatting as well, So if it's
(15:50):
a Western toilet, there's probably tourists and expats trying to
use his bidets. I mean, yeah, they have the water
host system, just like in India as well.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I know Japan loves them a fancy toilet, but they do.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, they're pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I have yet to experience a true Japanese toilet. I've
seen them on television and film, and honestly, I feel
like Captain America wielding mulenir was just as exciting as me.
Trying a Japanese toilet will be.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I mean you can heat the seat, the seat and
then the water can be the temperature can be adjusted
for the water.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, it's amazing, gets anything done.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I've seen two of them in neither of one of
them work correctly, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
See, I'm surprised that raj you would be so on
board with the fancy technology forward Japanese toilets because you're
terrified of AI, so I would think you would be
a little cautious around advanced technology toilets.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I think it's I mean, I think the technology technology
is a little different than I mean, if it starts
talking to me, I'm leaving like nice boop, Raj, I'm like,
we're out.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I'm more scary. It's called it's called boundaries.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I am more shocked at A. Raj understood your geeky
Marvel Thor reference and b didn't call you out on it.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
No, I mean, I don't think you understood it at all.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No, I understand, I got it. I'm I'm a Marvel
fan as well. So but no, now I'm getting used
to you guys doing this. At first, it was like
you guys are super nerds, and it used to just
be me the nerd that was the nerdy one in
the room. So when you make these references now I'm like, oh,
go nerds.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I love you guys, because if you put me on
the spot, what was the name of Thor's hammer, I
couldn't have told you.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
It's important to not just look at the films but watch.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Them over and over, apparently like I have kind of done.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I think me and a Japanese toilet would be quite
dangerous because with the heated sea and the temperature controlled water,
I mean, I'm on a toilet for way too long
as it is, like like I've seen news articles where
it's like and we've talked about it here on the
show before, where they're like, you should not be on
the toilet for more than a few minutes, and if
any additional time you spend there, you're likely to develop hemorrhoids,
(18:34):
or it's just not healthy for you, or I don't know,
go outside and socialize instead. So if you then introduce
into my toilet time a high end Japanese toilet, I
really may not have much of a reason to come out.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Going to be your version of the start per image
of recliner I live here now, especially if it has
a massage function.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh god, oh yeah, then it doesn't matter what scent
I get of wipes.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, throwing a VR helmet, Yeah you are, You're never leaving.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
That's a good.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I could rule the world up from that from my throne.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I just no.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Remember that video we played a long time ago about
you know, they had like the spinning casket with a
guy in the car.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Oh yeah, that's your.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
You're you're gonna be the guy on the toilet with
your little helmet on and spinning around your funeral.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's probably how I died, and you probably couldn't get
me off the toilet, so you just just picked the
whole thing up and just stuck it. Yeah, that actually
might track.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm not coming to that roll. He looks so peaceful, You're.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Like, he really he died doing or what he loves,
which is alone taking a dump. I will say, I
find it. I find it interesting that growing up as kids,
we had no problem drinking water, you know, out of
(20:25):
the hose. Uh. And you're saying, rag that that's the
same type of system they use for butt cleaning in
other countries.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Well, it's I mean, it's attached to the wall. It's
it's not you know, it's not made for you know,
everybody there knows not to drink it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, so it's so it so everyone. So that's not
drinkable water. That's just like it's not mouthwater. It's just
ass water.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I think it can be whatever you want to be.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I think I think I think people need to know.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, we we just use it for your butt.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And it's just it's just a little it's the hose
isn't too long to like if you were to try
to drink it. You were trying to drink it, like
that's the thing. It wasn't like since it's here, but.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I would think you want a lot of slack on
it because or are you supposed to like back up
to it.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
No, you just kind of you kind of you just
kind of take it off the thing and in between
your legs and give it a give it some spray
and it comes out pretty fast and it cleans and
then you kind of wait a minute or two it
does it dry?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Having a does it have an adjustable nozzle? So if
you want more or less? I mean this, I mean
if if if you can choose it for your plants outside,
I would think you'd want the same function, you know,
for your backside.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Uh no, uh it uh it's it's in a public restroom.
It's one function, but like at home, you can have
different settings and different speeds and yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Not a super soaker, it kind of is.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You're an American, you're in the Treehouse.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Visit us online at Treehouse on air dot com. You're

Speaker 1 (22:37):
All week, we've been covering the twenty things that we
grew up with that would destroy kids today. We've done
really really well. We've made it all the way through
ten eleven things. We've made it to eleven things. Pretty
good for us because we're a slow moving top type
(23:00):
of show when it comes to these types of deals.
But we've been doing all week. We started on the
Treehouse plus episode we covered the first handful of things
that would destroy kids today that we all grew up with,
and then we did a few more yesterday, and we're
gonna do just a few more today, all right, So
here we go the continuation of twenty things that would
destroy kids today that we all grew up with. Number twelve,
(23:21):
calling your friend's house because you'd probably have to talk
to their parents first, Like, yeah, actually I did. It
was very intentional, like if you wanted to hang out
with someone, you had two options. You called or you
just went over there. Yeah, and if they live far away,
then you had to call.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
And for the most part you you had to be
polite on the phone and say, you know, hi, missus,
O'Malley this is Trey Man.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I speak to Dan please you know who.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Is Yeah, And my mom really loved loved that because
she'd get the good the polite child that would do
that and call and then she'd be like no and
hang up.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah. See that was the benefit I had. Like I said,
we had our own line upstairs, so I didn't have
to worry about anybody else answering the phone.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It was.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It was just it was me, so I'd have them
call me.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I'm like, if you want to call, did you have
a business card as well? Here's my number?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
You go, I'm indeed, of course I didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah, number thirteen, No caller ID. You just had
to be ready to talk to whoever was calling you had.
It was all a mystery, no idea it was calling.
But if it's if the phone is ringing, there's a
reason for it. So you answered it and you would
run to it because you didn't want to miss the call.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, but I mean in those days, I mean, hell
if it I mean it was probably a wrong number.
But I mean he didn't have the spam robocalls and
all that other stuff. No, And now the other the
other thing about phone calling that is also something that
would be completely lost is the fact you had to
remember phone numbers.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yes, I talk about that on stage. I was like
if if people my age go to jail to night,
we're getting out in an hour. You guys are stuck
because you're keep trying to dial four and see what happens.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
You might as well just beat your face against that
machine because you're not going to know anything useful.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh. I've asked kids, I'm like, do you know any
phone numbers? Like no, I'm like any at all, Like
not even like nine to one one?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Do you know your own area code?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Jesus yeah, and you'll be stunned these kids. I'm like,
I can. I can remember only numbers off the top
of my head if I if I'm in a pinch
and I need to call somebody.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I think this might be one of the oldest man
things that I do and will die with. I still
have my original cell phone number, and I will die
with that phone number.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Oh I do too. That's I have had mine for
twenty nine years.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I guess I've had mine for twenty five.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah. I had to switch mine about fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh, that makes me nauseous just to think about it.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, because I switched services and then like you can't
that's before you could bring your number over. So maybe
it was twenty years ago before you could bring your
own number over. But I still remember what mine was,
and I do know that people have called it and
have told me that the lady who has my phone
will if they text, she'll respond back with not the comedian.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It's nice of her, I guess, but yeah, I mean
answering the phone back in the d like everything has
come full circle now. Because we were young, there was
no caller ID and you answered the phone. Now when
someone calls and it says no caller ID, we throw
that phone across the room.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We want none of it. No, No, it's like scam
likely spam. I'll tell you what the the intentions of
that caller is, right, which which tells you if nothing
comes up.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Then you know that's some dark web stuff. I want
none of it.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, I mean you or would screen call? I mean
you could screen calls when the answering machine sort of yeah,
came on board. I was pretty popular. Yeah mine somewhere.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
There you go. And then getting the actual little caller
ID extension unit with phone yeah all right, number fourteen,
blowing into your video games to make them work. Yes, which,
by the way, if you really want to feel old,
not that you have a choice here. Just the other day,
(27:49):
Super Mario Brothers turned forty.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And on Pond Stars, I believe a guys sold the
original I was trying to sell the original suit for
Mario Brothers, like sealed and in the actual box, and
he wouldn't take less than one point five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I someone's gonna buy it, I hold out.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah. They said there was a similar one that was sold,
the gold one that was like a limited dish one
that came out, Oh yeah, sold for like four million
dollars something crazy like that.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
There was I forget the name of the show on Netflix.
It was like It's Golden Auctions. But they one episode
was about this guy. They went to his house and
he had, I mean the most amazing video game collection.
I mean he had all the originals from Nintendo, like Atari, Sega, everything,
and I forgot what the number they threw out that
(28:47):
it was worth, but I mean it was millions.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
But I mean do they even do they even have
game character anymore? Or is everything online?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I think it's all online now, yeah, I think it's
all online.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I never had to I never had to use that
because we didn't. We weren't allowed to have the video
game stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Oh yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I had the original Nintendo for a couple of weeks.
It was a Buddy of Mines and it was one
hour every Saturday. I could. I could excite Bike was
the only thing I played.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
So yeah, I never had I saw people do it
and I'm like, does that really work? And it did.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I still remember. I still remember kindergarten and they had
a Nintendo in the school that they had brought in
and we were all taking turn to playing Super Mario
Brothers and Duck Hunt because it was, you know, the
combo thing.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
So I still remember that.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yeah. And then.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I was fortunate because my dad was kind of computer
geeky nerdy because not only did we have the Apple
to E when it came out, my dad also had
the Atari twenty six hundred and we uh, so I
grew up with that. So I we grew up playing
computer games and things. So there was a I was.
I was fortunate to be able to have not every system,
(30:08):
but I had a Nintendo. Then I had a Sega.
I had a game Boy. Oh game Boy.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, we had the in television when I was really
really young. That was like the first one. And that
was because you know, we were kids, like young young kids,
so it's like that'll entertain them while you know, the
adults do whatever the stuff around the house they needed
to do. When we got to you know, reading, writing
and math and all that, then I was like, no
more games, now you study. That's when the Indian side
(30:34):
came out. I was like, you get one hour a week,
and I was like, this is just I like, excite bike,
but this is I'm done now.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
So yeah, last one for today of the twenty things
that would destroy kids today that we all lived through.
Number fifteen getting a summer job.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I didn't. I didn't. We mowed lawns. That's what.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
That's a job that absolutely counts that. That was your job.
And that was good because you learned about business and
entrepreneurialship and all that kind of stuff and you know,
sweating outside and stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, and I also learned that adults will rip the
rip kids off really fucking quick. They do. Man, They're
like we were charging I think it was twenty this
is I mean, I was fourteen thirteen. It was me
and my buddy AJ next door, and he had the
lawnmowers and the weed Eater and we would do the
(31:29):
front in the back. We're like, hey, can we do
fifteen dollars for the front fifteen dollars for the back?
And they're like, how about we just give you twenty
flat And it's like one hundreds it's one hundred thousand
degrees outside in Mesquites and I'm like, ah, man, but
it's twenty bucks. And we would get four or five
lines in a day.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
There you go, Yeah, that's not bad. So that was
your So that was your first job.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
That was my first job, and then my first actual
job was the Mesquite Rodeo. But yeah, I worked at
the road. Yet I love both of you.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
