and you have to defend your tree house from these cat bots and dog bats. after you eliminate them, math problems come up and you sneak those in. >> thank you, we really appreciate it. soy we have to wrap. on our website we'll have all the apps and everything. thank you so much for coming to see us. ice coldcock tails for your fourth of july bash. >> two words for you. cosmo. slushy. >> i like those two. sounds great. this is "today" on nbc.
