That's the craziest thing
about this house, right?

2
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:17,100
It's the closest thing we have
to a time machine.

3
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:21,646
Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison.

4

00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:18,435

with no discernible chorus,
and the lead instrument's a mandolin.

6
