| 0:00.0 | Coddle the carry man's gullet you clestered Ivans. Welcome to the blind by |
| 0:04.7 | podcast. The Sikamore gap tree was feld over in England. There's a Sikamore |
| 0:12.4 | tree in Northumberland over in England. And someone caught it down illegally. Now |
| 0:19.2 | I'll be honest. I'd never heard of the Sikamore gap tree and I'd never seen |
| 0:24.6 | the Sikamore gap tree. I had no idea what the Sikamore gap tree was until I saw |
