Today is our 20th episode. Would should have live streamed it. No we should not live stream. Maybe at a later date. We want to have the option of taking certain things out. That’s a good point.

 

In today’s episode we are going to cover the difference between Holland and the Netherlands. It’s very relevant to PT, if you come to Rebound Therapy & Wellness clinic (http://reboundclinic.com/2ptsna-bag-chips-podcast/). This question get’s asked twice a week? Daily! I would say Daily.

There are a lot of those. “Wooden shoe rather be Dutch”. Which is also really good or, “God created the world, but the Dutch created the Netherlands.” Just chock full of inspiration.

 

Which is because, as everybody knows half of the Netherlands is below sea-level. If we weren’t good at making land we would have 17 million people crammed into half the space we have now. It’s crowed already in the Netherlands, let me tell you. For reference it is about the size of New Jersey. 17
