Speaker 1 (00:17):
It is time to leave your warriors outside and laugh
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Today is Monday, August fourth,
twenty twenty five. A mysterious creature was caught on a
ring camera in Compton, California.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
In case you have not seen this, I will now
share it with you.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
A mysterious creature was caught on a ring camera in Compton, California.
Person to your lower right to see the anomaly.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
What it's a white person?

Speaker 4 (00:57):
That's I was waiting for it. That's too easy.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Did you see it? It's a white guy.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, let's let's stop rush to judgment. Let's analyze and
watch some more.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
There he is, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, what is that mysterious creature?

Speaker 5 (01:34):
What's that? I was gonna say, white lightning?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
What do you think.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Someone who's Apple maps really did him wrong?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
So you don't think it's an alien?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
You don't think you don't think it could possibly be
a human man taking out the trash without being asked,
or perhaps the ghost of easy E.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Since this is Compton, I don't.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
I don't see it.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Lower right hand corner.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
I look and see I see that, but I know
what you're saying. I don't see what.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Yeah, I just think it's I would trace it. It's
just a white guy walking by.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
To me, it looks like an alien. I mean, you
see the head, the neck, the body looks like a
little green man.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Or a white guy ducking for cover.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
It is Compton, So yeah, that would explain its virality.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Look at this honkey on my ring camp in the
middle of Compton efforts crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Oh yeah, okay, it's a little tiny fellow.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
It's a little tiny green man. That's what some people thought.
And this is a great example of confirmation bias. We've
been talking about this a lot lately. If you are
an ardent believer in UFOs and aliens, you're going to
see that ring camera footage and think.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's right there, it's an alien.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
But if you take a more common sense or skeptical approach,
you're probably going to find something else. Like a lot
of internet sleuths did, and they said, very very emphatically,
that is not a little green man. What you think
is a little green man is a trash bag. And
the part that you think is where the head, like
where the neck is, is actually where the man is

(03:41):
grabbing the bag of trash and that's why it looks
that way, and the light just hit it a certain way.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Okay, Yeah, this actually happened, by the way, in June,
like the first week of June, but it's it's just
gone viral over the last week.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
So again, UFO crowd convinced it's an alien. Others think
it's just a guy taking out the trash. Someone also
thought it was someone carrying a mariachi hat. Don't know
why they thought that was gonna be applicable, but that
was one suggestion.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I mean, the other other thing I would have thrown
out is one of the new delivery robots that they're
using out and about.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Are they deploying those in Compton.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
And they're in LA? I mean, I don't know, like
all of LA.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
You know, I'm gonna go with no.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I don't think risbot's gonna be a big hit in
East LA or Compton the way it would be in
you know, West Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Hey, maybe one of those little robots is Johnny five.
I don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Didn't Johnny five at one point spike his hair and
sport a gold chain.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Hell five just just get him in one of the
flannel shirts with only the top button buttons.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
That's Johnny.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Johnny Cinco. I'd watched that remake.

The tree House is open.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Let's grow.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I discovered something recently that I need to share with you,
Trey and Raj. It's no secret I bring it up
actually quite often that I've known you both for over
twenty years. But you don't know me because I didn't
know myself until recently. I had an experience on like

(06:45):
any other, but it didn't change me. It just revealed
my true self.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
At first, the experience felt dirty, but once I let
myself go, it felt amazing, like this is the thing
my life has been missing all along, and that it
made me whole and I need to come clean to you,
my close friends, so I can live my truth. And

(07:15):
I just hope that you can accept me for who
I really am. I am a powerwasher. I love to
clean dirt and grime off of hard surfaces wielding a

(07:38):
nineteen hundred PSI mid range powerwasher, and I would have
appreciated you Tube taking my coming clean more seriously, you
know how difficult it is to read that with a
straight face, with the two of you snickering and smirking.
I don't think I need to be here, Oh you

(07:59):
need to be here because no, no, I think I
need my friends on this. Because here's here's something else
I've learned. If there is something worth doing, then it
is worth doing with your friends.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
I thought you'd start doing like the Buffalo bill dance
from Silence of the Lambs.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
No, no, no, I did that when I was, you know, fifteen,
Like everybody else.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Took Terra's telling me it puts the lotion on.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Put it back to the basket.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Our dog Bella hates that role playing game, by the way,
because she has to be the dog I really did.
I discovered.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I discovered recently that I absolutely love power washing. I
didn't realize the therapeutic prowess of power washing. And I've
been alive for over forty five years. This is one
of those I'm today year's old moments.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
I mean, there's something therapeutic about it. It's it is
kind of like you you're you're in control and and
you're making.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Everything you want to say. It's gonna it's gonna sound
there old.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Oh really, it's almost like I thought that the direction
might go this way.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, I mean, so just unleash it. Unleash your inner
power watcher.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Uh, You're gonna make the dirt and grime go away. Yeah,
and that's fun.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah. See you like holding something, you know, high pressure
in your hand that squirts out really hard. I really do.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah, and then you know, you get weeds out of
the way. Well.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
And not only that, but I feel bigger than I
ever have before. Nothing is safe with it at ten
foot radiance.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
And no one judges you watch while they watch you
do it. Oh, there are better envious.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
As long as I keep my moaning to a reasonable
decibel level, then I think it's okay.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
But okay, then do you wan like m oh?

Speaker 8 (10:12):
I did?

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I did, Yeah, I had I had a neighbor come
out and like check on me. It's like everything okay.
I was like, yes, is great?

Speaker 3 (10:21):
God, do you do you have a special outfit for this?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Not yet?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
I like the neighbors like slower, Yeah, slower.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
This thing I'm telling you guys is I'm still new
to this lifestyle, so I don't have all the attire
or accessories and everything that that may come with it
right now.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I just have the unit and the desire.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Are you already looking at bigger ones?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Turns out nineteen hundred is is just a drop average.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah, look for a stronger unit.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
One that might require two men to live. I mean,
who doesn't want to clean things with a two man team?

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Who wants to take this one?

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I believe I've taken all of it. I've taken it
all right to the hilt. So you know you've been
powerwashed good and thorough. Have you actually powerwashed?

Speaker 8 (11:38):
Ra?

Speaker 4 (11:39):
I have?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, Trey, Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, it's I did it a little bit back in college.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Age.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, experimented a little bit like like you do. Uh,
and then I just.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Came back into it recently and realize, my god, this
is what I should be doing all along. It really
does feel good, like because because at our house we
have lots of dirt and grime that gets built up
in certain areas of our patio. So when I get
in there and I make the dirt disappear and it
becomes super clean and shiny again, it's like it's it

(12:21):
really is kind of therapeutic. I'm just watching it disappear
as I go back and forth or up and down
or diagonally. I can go any direction I want. I
can do swirlies, can helicopter it, Yeah, I can helicopter it.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
That's right. Whatever direction I go in, it doesn't matter,
because I am in control.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Does terror reward her mighty little sprayer?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
The reward tray was her allowing me to use her spy.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Today.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Speaking of today, it is Monday, August fourth, twenty twenty five.
This next story I'm going to share with you is shocking,
and this news is so shocking that it actually has
me questioning everything from my childhood. On its daily news app,
Nintendo has stated that Mario and Princess Peach are just

(14:40):
good friends who help each other out when they can.
My childhood beliefs have been shattered, although probably not nearly
as much as the shattered pieces of Super Mario's heart,
because why else would you spend three decades trying to
save a woman that just friend zoned you.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
I mean, probably even worse is Luigi's tapping that ass.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
You know it, you know it in the van when
Mario's laying actual pipe. So it was Luigi in the
van with Princess Peach.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
This is actually really shocking news.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I don't even know why Nintendo felt the need to
come out and state this. I mean, I'm gonna take
this into the into the real world scenario. But would
you risk your life repeatedly for just a situationship?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
No?

Speaker 3 (15:41):
No, not when.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Donkey Kong is way closer. Uh, I'll be like, I
give up.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, he probably invited her on his fortieth birthday trip
to offer to pay.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
U sponsored by Johnson and Johnson. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
If you want more context of that punchline, I suggest
you go join Treehouse Plus and watch our plus episode
from earlier. This is really shocking news, and we're wondering
how Mario may have taken this because he's been risking
his life for decades, jumping lava pits, dodging bullets, fighting
bowser just to save Princess Peach, only to be told sorry, Mario,

(16:27):
we're just.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Friends, going up and down shaft repeatedly.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
What a good guy.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's the ultimate good guy and he doesn't deserve this.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
No, I appreciate that I've been that.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
I mean, I've done that before. I mean I didn't
know I was in the friend zone. But there's times
where you don't know you're in the friend zone, so
I can appreciate what his effort is.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I mean, I think after he saved her from Donkey Kong,
if he didn't get any he should have, you know,
it really should have should have been a big signal. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I think at that point it would have been a
good time for a conversation.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah. I mean, then he gets to the very end
of Super Mario Brothers and it's a cup chair and
he's watching Louisyan Luigi Banger.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
He's gonna watch that's his brother, right, Yeah, I've seen
this movie. Uh, and Dunk Kung's there too.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I do wonder though, if if he was so distraught,
if that's when Toad tried to take advantage of Mario
to make him feel better.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Man, how bad it would it be if a what
do they call the little Koopa Troopers? If that got
there before you. He's walking out the door, like for
saving her, man, she was awesome. Just keeps walking by,
h Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Or maybe the worst thing to find out is that
Super Mario has gone through all these levels of hell
to try to save Princess Peach, and once he gets
in the castle, she's running a train with.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Bowser and.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
The bullet bills and the little mushroom people.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
I was about to say, you know it, actually, I
mean maybe the riding was on the wall. When when
you're having to bounce up and down against mushroom heads that.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
You know you bring up a solid point tray. Because
while Princess Peach has just recently come out to tell
Mario we're just friends, it does seem like there were signs.

other shocking news in childhood characters. Chucky Cheese was arrested recently,

(20:01):
not a man named Chuck E Cheese, but a man
dressed as Chucky Cheese at Chucky Cheese, and kids witnessed
all of it. Kids in Tallahassee got more than just
pizza and tokens when they watched the actual Chucky Cheese
get arrested during a birthday party. They actually arrested forty
one year old Jamel Jones, a Chucky Cheese employee. He

(20:25):
was taken into custody while wearing the mouse costume. He
was accused of stealing a mom's child support debit card
during a party on June twenty eighth, over one hundred
dollars in charges. Later, police tracked him down using store
surveillance footage, and when police arrived, he allegedly tried to
hide by suiting up in the Chucky Cheese costume, but

(20:45):
officers walked right up and said the now iconic line,
Chuck E Cheese, come with me. He was charged with
multiple felonies and released on one thousand dollars bond or,
as one person put it, the saddest pizza parties since
Shoba's Pizza closed.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
And.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Kudos to Chuck E Cheese Like their CEO actually flew.
I didn't. They're based in Dallas, flew to Tallahassee and
like treated all the kids that were having parties that
day to a very special day.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Oh that's so sweet.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Was it the same day Chuck E Cheese got arrested
or was this like a set day after the fact.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Is this happened like a week and a half ago.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
It was after okay, uh.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
It's when he got bail.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, that's got to be an awkward thing.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
I wonder if that's why the CEO had to go
to Tallahassee, because maybe he was the only one who
could sign off at jail to get the Chuck E
Cheese costume out of holding, because maybe they only had
so many of those and they probably needed it to operate.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
I mean, like, you can't just.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Go to costume World to get a Chuck E Cheese costume.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
I'm I guess is the CEO is getting on his jetty,
looked at somebody and goes, I told you, we should
have closed the Florida stores.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Seriously, Tallahassee.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
We should have seen this coming. We should have known,
we should have had contingencies in plays.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
This should have bought show time.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
And now this is on the heels by the way
of Chuck E Cheese coming out and saying, hey, we're
going to start opening adult chucky cheese places like no kids,
it's a Chucky Cheese, you know brand, but it's Chucky

(22:40):
Cheese for adults, where it's uh, you know, it's pizza
and it's booze, all the fun stuff that we as uh,
that we as adults may have liked as kids, but
now we get to do it without the kids.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
The person went Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Let me get this straight. You're going to open up
a bar with crappy pizza, some video games, and drunk adults.
Maybe a ballpit, a dirty ballpit. You just describe half
the bars in America. Congratulations, that's right.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
But this one's got a furry.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
Yeah, you just described Nevada.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
The good news is for the guy that was arrested
in the Chuck E Cheese costume, going to jail is
not going to be that big of a deal because
he clearly has tons of experience in ballpits.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
He's about to.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Dirty dirty ball pit.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, dirty dirty ballpits, and you're about you're about to
be polo in the Marco Polo game.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
I would love it if they let him keep the outfit.
You'll need this in prison.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Just send him out into gin pop in the yard.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
So go right over to the bench I work in.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
All of a sudden said, you know the teeth, O,
there's just a big oh face.

Speaking of today, it is Monday, August fourth, twenty five.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Cole and Dylan.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Sprouse are thirty two today. They were the twins Zach
and Cody on Disney's Sweet Life Shows. They also shared
the role of the kid in Adam Sandler's Big Daddy
Movie and Ross's son Ben on Friends. In recent years,
Cole has played Juughhead on Riverdale. I'm not sure what

(25:23):
poor Dylan's up to, but it's got to be always thought,
it's gotta be an odd thing for identical twins in
Hollywood when one can find work and the other ones
like what Gibbs.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
I thought he might have taken his own life. Is
that the same?

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Oh, well, then that might explain it.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
I think he committed suicide.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Well I didn't know that, and the prep service didn't
disclose that in the birthdays.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
I could be wrong.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
It could be different twins from so I'm gonna try
looking up quick.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
I think he did on their porch.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Go ahead and checked. I'm curious to know. There is
another set of twins in Hollywood that are identical. I
can't I don't know their names off the top of
my head, but it's a it's a pair of dudes
in the X Men movies, the original X Men movies.
One of them plays Iceman, uh, and he's had a
pretty solid career.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
And then there's his brother. Yeah, I think that's it.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, And then not Sean Ashmore, the twin. He's also
an actor, and he's he's been in some stuff as well,
not quite to the level that the other brother has,
which is I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I've never lived in Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
I don't know how it works, but it just seems
like an odd thing as a casting director and go like,
you know you need the good twin.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Well they seem pretty much the same.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Dylan Sprouse is still alive.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Okay, thank you. I thought I was wrong on that one.
I just don't know he's alive.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's just his career that's dead.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
I know there was a movie you set twins that
one committed suicide in Austin.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Gotcha. Well, I hope it's not the Ashmore.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
No, Sean Ashmore's I think on the rookie now is
what he's very cool.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah. Other birthdays today, Chet Hanks is thirty.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Five, Yeah, the one they don't talk about.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Look, just because just because Tom Hanks is your dad
and Rita Wilson is your mom doesn't guarantee success in life.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Now it did for the other Hanks. Boy, he's doing good.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah, Colin Hanks.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, Colin Hanks has having a great little career for himself.
He's been in some very memorable projects both television and film.
And then there's Chet the White Rapper. This is a
great example that you can have two children in the
same household and turn out completely differently.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
It's true. I don't know. I think Colin's a little
bit older than Chet.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Colin's way older than Chet. Yeah, Colin is this just
blew me away? Colin is forty seven years old.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Jesus wow, wow, Okay, this is what I think of
when I when I see parents get blasted for the
actions of their children. Like if a child goes like
a teenage kid gets a hand on a gun and
goes on a mass shooting or something, everyone says, oh,
the parents, the parents, the parents.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Well, like, it's not always the parent's fault.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
You can't just constantly blame the parents because you got
Colin Hanks and Chet Hanks.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
No granted chet Hanks didn't you know, shoot up a
school or anything.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
But it's it's an example of you can have someone
in a seemingly wonderful environment as a child and still
end up on the quote unquote wrong path. My family
is that way. My older sister had issues and troubles
that I that I didn't. I had my own, But
we were raised in the same house, Tara, similar thing,

(29:01):
younger brother versus her very different, raised it in the same.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Way by the same people.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
You can't just blanket say it's a dad's fault, Like
you can't look at Chet Hanks and go clearly, Tom
Hanks is a terrible dad.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
It is interesting, though, because there's Colin Hanks, and then
he has a sister and they're like forty seven and
forty three. Then it's like they took a break. And
then there's Chet Hanks, who how old is he today?
Thirty four, thirty five?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
He is thirty five, all.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Right, And then there's a younger brother from him, and.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Chet Hanks has been in a few Okay, chet Hanks
has been in a few acting roles, like he was
on a He had a recurring role as Blake on Empire,
He had a he was part of the cast on
Tom Hanks's Greyhound movie.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Maybe that's just Tom Hanks saying I'm done having you
as a white rapper's son. You're embarrassing the family. I
got you a job. You're coming to work with me today.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Yeah. I think that's dad saying, earn your keep.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
You don't get all this Wilson money without jumping through
some hoops.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Seldom is nepotism forced on somebody, But I think.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
In this case, I am in full support of the nepotism.
If it'll save the rest of the world from having
to hear chet Hanks rap again, I am all for it.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Are you guys.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Familiar with toiletfeet? Steve, No, you are, You just don't
know it. CEOs right, CEOs of large companies. CEOs of
large companies get lots and lots of attention. Lots of
stress come with that job. The top guy at Nintendo,

(31:40):
Shageru Mayamato, keeps his mind sharp by guessing the lengths
of objects with a measuring tape that he gets that
he carries around with him. Tesla, CEO and former leader
of doge Elon Musk apparently schedules his day in five
minute intervals. But then there's Steve Jobs. He may have

(32:00):
the weirdest habit of the mall or had. According to
his authorized biography by Walter Jacobson, the former Apple CEO
used to soak his feet in toilet water.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Okay, well, why I'm glad you asked.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I'm glad to know that I've peaked your curiosity, Raj.
Why did former Apple CEO Steve Jobs soak his feet
in public toilet water? The reason had to do with
his obsession with alternative health habits. After Jobs dropped out
of read College in the seventies, he went on a
path of spiritual exploration. He experimented with diets, where he

(32:44):
only ate fruits for weeks to detox his system. He
also engaged in fasting, including keto diets, which he claimed
gave him higher mental acuity and feelings of ecstasy. But
strangest of them all, during high levels of stress, Steve
Jobs would find relief by soaking his feet in toilet water. Interestingly,
science has shown that foot soaking is a therapeutic practice

(33:05):
that can widen blood vessels, increase circulation and energy, and
essentially relax you. However, the idea of doing it in
a public toilet is a different thing altogether. Now, if
he's doing this at Apple in their public toilets probably
pretty clean by you know, public comparison, still ew. Just

(33:29):
imagine you're trying to work your way up the corporate
ladder at Apple and you finally get a key to
the executive washroom and you go in there and your
first interaction was legend with legendary Steve Jobs. Is him
soaking his feet in the toilet?

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Or you get hired as you know Steve Jobs Pa,
and you're thinking yes, and you know your your first
duty is you get a cup and a bucket?

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Is duty duty?

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Is the third floor guy? You just walk in, You're like, oh,
there's Steve.

Speaker 5 (34:10):
I gotta I gotta get a little soak in right now,
Steve ben Ben Steve, Steve stressful.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Dad, that's the that's so gross.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Like I I I even wonder if somewhere Britney's spears
in her barefoot glory is thinking you like.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Even that's too much.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Like sure, she'll go to the public bathroom at a
gas station barefoot, but she's not sticking her feet in
the toilets.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
There's I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
You know, she just goes in the bathroom and swirlies herself.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Ah that there's still there's so many questions because he
was Steve Jobs, So the toilet water could have been
out of a toilet that he had cleaned after. You know,
there was someone there to clean it after every use,
and so really it's just water.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Or he could be a waffle stomper. Who knows.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
What if that was his secret.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
This is what I do mid day, you know, it
really gets me through my day.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Is a good old fashioned afternoon wafflestomp.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
And then I just like to soak the tootsies.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
I will say that this story does mention that foot
soaking is steeped in tradition in India. Traditional Indian foot
soaking is believed to balance the body's energies and achieve
physical harmony. I'm assuming that's the traditional Indian foot soaking

(36:03):
in your own toilet, not the Carls.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Junior or not in a toilet.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Like there's a reason why they have those little footbaths.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
We just have a little tub that you a little
plastic tub that you put your feet in.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
I've done it a thousand times and it's.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Even got the little motors and the lights and stuff.
It's got the circulators and everything. Toilet that's like toilets
do have circulation. I was gonna say that's the white version.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
Ours is just just a little warm water and some
epsom salt.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
I don't believe that one bit in Indian. Indian people
are some of the most extravagant on the planet. You're
you're riding into weddings on elephants. You're trying to tell
me you got basic bit foot bats.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
That's how you save the money.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Okay, now that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Okay, that's how you get to ride the elephant in
the wedding and not the donkey.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Got it all right?
