12- Come Out and Play: Cops and Robbers vs. Dodgeball - The Ultimate Playground Showdown · Arguing Ever After

0:14
Hello and welcome to Arguing Ever After.
0:17
I'm Luke and this is my awesome wife Amber.
0:20
Hello. Together we are the Lord and
0:23
Lady who lockhorns. The counting Countess of
0:26
contention. The Duke and Duchess of
0:28
Disagreement. And the king and queen of
0:30
quarrels. We have been together since Gwen
0:33
Stefani was just a girl, and we've been arguing for that long
0:36
as well. Somehow we're still together and
0:38
we like each other. In this entertainment only
0:41
podcast, we will bicker about all things big and small and the
0:45
audience gets the final say on who the winner is.
0:48
We do not claim to be relationship experts by any
0:52
means. We will debate many topics, some
0:54
of which are submitted by our listeners, so if you have
0:57
something you would like us to argue about, please send it to
1:00
us at arguingeverafter@gmail.com.
1:03
Perhaps this completely unscientific method of letting
1:06
the masses decide who the winner is can settle your fight before
1:09
you even have it. Mm hmm.
1:12
And so here we are, episode dozen.
1:17
Our very 12th episode. Which is fantastic.
1:20
It's. Very exciting, that's.
1:22
Three months if you counted in weeks.
1:23
Yeah. And that is how long we have
1:25
been reporting for folks. Well, technically a little bit
1:29
longer. We had some bonus material that
1:30
hasn't been released. I think that was in the middle
1:33
of our other recordings. That could be.
1:35
Maybe we bonused ourselves. We did, yes.
1:37
There's a bonus for us, yes, So far only a bonus for us.
1:40
Only for us one day. It's true because we actually
1:43
enjoy doing this. One day we might share some of
1:47
them with the audience. One day.
1:50
Yes, I'm not going to give a spoiler because we don't know
1:53
when that one day will be. It's certainly not episode 12.
1:56
No, this is going to be a not bonus episode, it's a regular
1:59
one. That's right.
2:00
If we were doing this once a month, we'd be at a year.
2:03
That's true. That's fun.
2:05
That's kind of, yeah. But I I like doing it more often
2:08
than that. That's true.
2:09
I was a little scared when we started the podcast that arguing
2:12
in front of a camera was going to make us argue like more
2:15
heatedly, and yet here we are. No, I think it's actually been
2:19
really good for that because honestly, a lot of times when we
2:22
get into an argument where I know that there's more
2:25
discussion we can have, it goes in the podcast.
2:28
It does unless it's unless it's light and then we just.
2:31
But yeah, yeah. It stopped a lot of fighting.
2:33
So I don't know, maybe this is some reverse psychology for for
2:37
us. But don't worry folks, we still
2:39
argue about everything that's true all the time.
2:42
That was one of the original theoretical names for the
2:45
podcast. What if not the original?
2:48
Luke and Luke and Amber argue. Oh, Oh yes, that was that was,
2:53
but that sounded a little long. It did, and then this magical
2:56
title came out of the magical land of magic.
2:59
My head is the magical land. I mean, you didn't have to claim
3:03
it, you could just let it be ethereal and all mysterious.
3:05
Well. When you have a good idea, it
3:08
seems really weird to waste it and not take credit for it.
3:12
I would also have taken credit, so that makes sense.
3:15
I'm sure. Well, you had to agree on it.
3:17
We did. That was something we had to
3:19
agree on. We had a bunch of ideas.
3:21
Yep, Yep, Yep. And they were all pretty good
3:23
and most of them came from you. Thank you.
3:26
Speaking of good ideas that I didn't have and you didn't have
3:30
this, we did have our very first live show.
3:36
Heck yeah, we did. Wasn't our idea, Never would
3:38
have came up with that. Not well, certainly not at
3:41
wherever the heck we were. Episode 10 or 11:00-ish,
3:45
something like that. Right when Quirky the band
3:47
Quirky invited us, I was like, yeah, heck yeah, why not?
3:52
Luke was like. Well, I was worried.
3:54
I was worried more about them. Like I was like in a little bit
3:58
of shock, like, well, why would you want us to do this more?
4:02
And then two, Are you sure you want the the people that just
4:08
talk to each other to open for a band that plays music?
4:11
And I actually like having now done it.
4:13
Think it makes like wonderful sense because if you have people
4:17
talking and you're in a place where people went to see music,
4:21
they're going to be so excited when they get the real thing.
4:23
Oh, that's. True.
4:25
Yeah, that was. They're like, thank God, those
4:27
talking podcasts. They're gone.
4:29
Shut up. Finally.
4:31
It was a lot of fun and we had some great fans slash family
4:37
slash friends, yeah, which it was really exciting to have
4:41
those people there cheering us on, giving us encouragement and
4:45
love. One friend, One friend booed me,
4:47
which was. Yeah, you deserved it though.
4:49
You deserved. It I mean, I don't know about
4:51
deserved it I. Didn't get in boos.
4:53
That's true. I got lots of laughs.
4:56
Actually, you got a lot of laughs too.
4:57
I'm sort of proud of you for that.
4:58
Oh, what? Could you thinking I could be
5:00
funny sometimes just in public I guess.
5:03
I think it depends. But we did record that one and
5:08
we've had people ask us since if we're going to share it, we
5:11
might, we might. That's going to take a lot more
5:14
technical ability than. Or we could just release the
5:16
terrible. I don't want to.
5:18
Do that. I want it to be like it was.
5:20
We've done what we can though, like without an actual producer
5:23
and real audio editing tools, which we clearly don't have.
5:26
If you're listening to us, you know what we're talking about.
5:29
We do our best with what we have for the limited slash free
5:34
budget and and so far, I mean so good.
5:38
You know, I think we sound like a Midwestern podcast couple
5:41
that's in, you know, the the now double digits, but low double
5:46
digits. Yeah, yeah.
5:48
Well, I, I don't, I think it was such a cool experience for us.
5:53
I, I want to give it the honor that it is due and for sure and
5:59
make sure that we're giving, giving people something that's
6:03
easy to listen to and so they can hear how excited the crowd
6:07
was 'cause they were totally into.
6:10
It you can almost only hear the crowd in parts of the recording.
6:13
Which is why it's release it, but I really really want to
6:17
because I looked great. You did say like your most
6:22
favorite picture of yourself. Ever.
6:25
Which is shocking cause like you've had a lot of pictures.
6:29
Taken and most of them are terrible.
6:31
I don't know how. And that's not the
6:32
photographer's fault. It is the subject.
6:35
I don't know. It took 27 years to get the
6:36
perfect picture, but it did. I mean, it helped that my hair
6:40
was just doing what it needed to.
6:42
It was. It was.
6:44
The hair was there. Perfect, yes, yes.
6:47
And the lights were really good. I don't know, I it just, it was
6:52
perfect for all of that, so. Sounds like we need to do more
6:54
live shows. Well, I'd be more than open to
6:57
it. OK, if you're out there
6:59
listening and you got a good venue and we can get some, some
7:04
fun going, yeah, and get time maybe, maybe more people, you
7:08
know. Yeah, I would be.
7:10
Fill it Stadium, even. Oh, that was too far.
7:13
I went stadium. I'm not ready for that.
7:15
I lied. I mean, wouldn't that be crazy
7:17
one day though? It's hard to believe, but also
7:19
it was hard to believe that anyone would want us to be in a
7:22
live show at at whatever. I think we were only 5 or 6
7:25
episodes in when we were asked. I don't know but.
7:29
It wasn't a lot. No, no.
7:31
But I did learn and I think you did too, that and I'm sure our
7:36
audience already figured this out, that we don't really need
7:39
the editing or scripting or anything like that.
7:42
We just need the same thing for a live show that we need for any
7:45
show. And that is what are we fighting
7:47
about. Yeah, for sure.
7:49
In life, we don't always. Talk back and give or take 45
7:53
minutes. And by give or take, I mean 30
7:55
minutes to an hour. It's like we're good to go.
7:58
We could drop a ball and we're gonna kick it.
8:00
Let's let's do it. Yeah.
8:02
And what are we talking about this week?
8:04
That's a really great. I think you were doing that for
8:07
a perfect segue it. Was team segue.
8:10
It was team segue. Nice job.
8:14
This week we're gonna be talking about being young.
8:19
Oh boy. And before we get too far into
8:21
that, I just have to say welcome to our elusive listener.
8:27
The Youngs, yes. That's right, finally caught
8:31
one. Watch them on the side. 27 We
8:35
love you and I'm sure you haven't heard this today.
8:38
We are proud of you. Yes, you're doing a great job
8:41
with all that you have. And you know what?
8:46
Bring more friends. Yeah, tell your friends Yeah,
8:49
after you unsubscribe for having been called out.
8:51
No, you were called out for good.
8:52
Things then just tell your friends to show up so now we've
8:55
covered all the age group demographics that exist yeah
8:59
from zero to. Unknown no longer.
9:03
Unknown. No.
9:03
Longer with us. It's from, yeah, from, from all
9:06
of it. So we got that covered.
9:08
Yeah. And we're still international
9:11
and national. Yes, yes.
9:15
So. But when I was thinking about
9:17
young, though really quickly there, I had to give that shout.
9:19
Out. Oh, for sure.
9:21
We, I know there have been people who've been just waiting
9:23
for us, you know, thinking about it, whatever that word is,
9:27
manifesting it for us, sharing it with their younger friends.
9:31
I don't think anyone cared that much actually.
9:33
I cared a lot. I cared a lot.
9:37
So that one listener who you yes, thank you, thank you, thank
9:41
you. But we were gonna talk about
9:44
being even younger than 23 to 27, although we did kind of some
9:48
dumb things that from 23 to. 27 I mean, I think the young spirit
9:53
of adventure lives on through your whole life.
9:56
Yes. But yes, certainly when you're
9:59
actually in the young and adventurous time frame of your
10:02
life, you do things that are more spontaneous, I think, and
10:07
potentially more risk averse than you do when you age a
10:12
little bit. Not that I'm doing altogether
10:14
smart and safe things in my life today, but you don't.
10:18
But I think I did less less of that when I was younger.
10:22
But like when I was younger to the concept of, well, stranger
10:28
kids, you know, like there wasn't a stranger kid, right?
10:31
I mean, every kid you knew was, well, you.
10:34
I mean, every kid you saw, you knew one way or another.
10:37
It seemed like there was that. Or you knew someone that knew
10:39
them because they came with like it was, you know, a cousin or
10:42
somebody at whatever. Right, right.
10:44
And like at school, you went on that you knew everybody unless
10:47
you were the brand new kid, but then it took two minutes.
10:50
You know, you're like, oh cool, we'd be my best friend.
10:52
Yeah, can I share your sandwich? We're best friends.
10:54
Yeah, yeah. And then immediately, cool,
10:56
let's go play a game. Yeah.
10:57
You know, And Even so, in my neighborhood growing up, we had
11:01
several kids that was very fortunate to be raised in a, a
11:04
neighborhood with a lot of kids my age.
11:07
And you just go outside and you'd look and there'd be a kid
11:10
outside and you're like, great, what are we playing?
11:12
You know, And immediately you'd start playing something and then
11:16
other kids would come out and they'd play something too.
11:18
And I remember the thought of, you know, where you'd be voting,
11:23
Like, what are you gonna play? You know, someone would want to
11:26
play one game and another, and eventually you'd all settle on
11:29
something. And there were so many great
11:32
games to play. I just wonder why we don't or
11:37
can't or won't do that as adults.
11:39
Think about that for a second. Like, couldn't you just go
11:42
outside in your street with like a toy, like a can or a ball and
11:52
you're like in your 30s and then the neighbors come out and they
11:56
join you? Yeah, like what you doing?
11:58
Pick up game basketball. No hoop, just in the street I'm
12:02
in. Let's do it.
12:03
Yeah, that'd be pretty rad. Well, OK, so we did kind of do
12:11
that, but not quite at the same level.
12:12
When we were in our, we were talking about 20 to 20.
12:16
So I don't remember what age groups were we would do such a
12:19
thing. We would say, hey everybody,
12:22
let's go meet at a park. That's true.
12:25
Let's go play a game. We have often been coordinators,
12:27
yeah, or coordinator adjacent. I think maybe we are party
12:32
planners, yeah, it's just that. Little bit we just want to get
12:35
together and have fun. But we just find them different.
12:38
And we want other people to get together and have fun.
12:40
We just find them differently. I mean, when I was a kid, I
12:44
would certainly try to find something that everybody wanted
12:47
to do, right? Like that was another thing.
12:49
I mean, I didn't. I would never suggest something
12:51
I didn't want to play though. I just assumed everyone wanted
12:54
to play games all the time. It did.
12:57
Maybe it seemed that way. I think they did.
13:00
I mean, if there wasn't a game to be played, we would make one
13:02
up, right? For sure.
13:04
There was. Also in my neighborhood we had
13:06
things called Kid Wars. That sounds dangerous.
13:10
It was, I mean. Was it like a rock fight?
13:12
Well, I don't. There probably were rocks, but
13:16
crab apples? I remember that being something
13:18
people would chuckle each. Other.
13:20
Yeah. We've had a crab apple tree, me
13:22
and my brothers and we would often pelt each other.
13:25
Yeah, I don't know why. That's the thing.
13:26
You have a crab apple tree, you're gonna get a crab.
13:28
They don't taste good, so you might as well pelt somebody with
13:31
it. They can if you have the right
13:32
cook. My grandmother made the best.
13:35
Yeah, crab apple. You put it into a tart and use a
13:38
bajillion pounds of sugar and yeah, but I'm just saying,
13:41
eating one off the tree is not a delightful experience.
13:44
I've done it. I was a kid back in sure back in
13:48
the 2000 Wow 2. 1000 the true risk of eating fruit off the
13:55
tree when you were a kid wasn't about, you know, getting sick.
13:59
It was the bees. For me, it was like there was if
14:03
it was the wrong time of the year and they already started to
14:06
fall down, then the bees would be heavy bad news.
14:10
I got attacked by bees a lot as a kid.
14:11
Actually, really, it's probably because I wasn't the smarter.
14:14
I mean, I would be the I was the bad guy a lot of times.
14:19
Yeah. Sorry for all you bee lovers out
14:21
there. I'm not like that anymore.
14:22
What? Do you mean you are the bad guy?
14:24
Sometimes I would provoke the bees, but I'd like to think in
14:28
my defense, they weren't like honey bees.
14:31
They were like ground Wasps. And the ones with the make the
14:37
what's the one in the tree with? Yeah, but those ones you knew to
14:41
just run like you hit the hit the nest with a rock.
14:45
I mean, come on, you didn't throw a rock at a Hornet.
14:46
I really didn't. I did not want to get stung by
14:49
anything. Why did that?
14:50
I mean, I had some friends in the neighborhood growing up and
14:53
we would just go walk around and then we would find a bee nest.
14:58
I don't want to say hive because that makes me think of honey
15:00
bees, but like a bee nest. I remember one in I got a lot of
15:04
bee stings. There was one in like a what's
15:07
the kind of plant that looks and kind of smells like a pine tree,
15:10
but it's like it grows at ground level.
15:12
It's like a Bush. I don't know.
15:16
Maybe it's like a short Arbor vitae.
15:18
It sure could be, could be. Anyway, we were walking up the
15:21
street and we saw like, you know, more than a normal number
15:24
of free roaming stingy creatures.
15:28
And then we determined that that was in fact a place where they
15:30
were making their home and they were bad news.
15:33
And so we were going to liberate the the homeowner who had this
15:38
this bee situation happening. So we got some, you know,
15:42
weapons that were close at hand, like sticks and rocks.
15:45
Yeah. And we we let the bees know that
15:48
they shouldn't live there. And then the bees let us know
15:50
that that was where they lived. You know, hearing about these.
15:53
These things you just don't even.
15:57
Well, I mean like, here's the thing.
15:59
This tells me why games were invented.
16:02
Because left to our own devices, without something structured in
16:06
place, we do things like Kid Wars and apparently Chase
16:10
Hornets like this is truly. Yellow Jackets.
16:13
Hornets. This is true stupidity.
16:15
So to overcome that amount of stupidity, you must have had to
16:21
have come up with something pretty great, right?
16:25
And, and I think you need to instill that young, right?
16:28
We are in the great state of duck, duck, Gray duck.
16:33
It's not goose people. It's not.
16:35
It never was. All the other 49 states are
16:39
wrong. Yeah, They started us young,
16:41
really young in some kind of organized play that there was
16:45
very little rules, right, You know, like that was one another
16:49
one I really liked a lot. I assumed to backtrack to Gray
16:53
Duck for a second. I'm super.
16:55
Proud of Minnesota for owning it on all levels.
16:58
Like now you see, like Gray Duck Realty, Gray Duck Brewing
17:03
Company, like everyone's taking it.
17:05
They're like, you know what? This is who we are.
17:07
We're just getting it. You know what's really
17:09
interesting? What I never necessarily.
17:11
I didn't necessarily put that together with the game.
17:14
Oh. I didn't.
17:15
Well, that's for sure. What it?
17:16
Is makes sense, makes sense. I mean, but what is a Gray duck?
17:19
Is that what? What kind of what breed of duck
17:22
is a Gray duck? I mean.
17:24
Is that a Mallard, a female Mallard or something?
17:27
No or. Brown, right?
17:29
I don't know. It's not.
17:32
A goose. Geese aren't Gray.
17:35
Really. Isn't like Canadian?
17:36
Brownish. I mean, I guess they got a
17:38
little Gray. OK, we're not going anyway.
17:39
No, no, no, it is Gray Duck. That's what's up.
17:42
Gray Duck. So anyhow.
17:46
But that was like a good game when you were younger to be
17:48
outside, run around, here's what you do, and you could play that
17:52
forever until your parents called you home.
17:54
But the one I liked at that age the best was Red Rover.
17:58
OK. Where you'd have, you know, red
18:00
Rover, red Rover, send whoever right over right.
18:03
And you'd have all these kids on one side or both sides.
18:06
And the kid would go running and get clothes lined by two arms
18:09
from two kids who were just locked hard together.
18:13
Or if you were really good or bigger than the kids that you
18:17
chose, you'd breakthrough. Like.
18:20
And that feeling of winning, of breaking through, I don't know
18:24
if I have, but I'm sure it was pretty amazing 'cause I, I'm.
18:27
Sure you did at some point. I really think I always played
18:31
with older kids like my sisters and cousins and stuff, and I
18:34
think I got clothes lined a lot. I will never forget that feeling
18:39
of having the arm across the neck here, you know, several
18:43
times, several times and then falling to the ground.
18:46
But you know, I was like made of rubber.
18:48
It didn't didn't really hurt, but I remember those feelings.
18:51
I think today it would hurt a lot more and I'm gonna guess I
18:55
would be running slower. You might be running a little
19:00
slower, yeah, I'm not sure. That would be my guess.
19:03
I mean, I always felt like you were running like the wind just
19:05
so fast when you're. I kinda wanna try it out now and
19:08
just see. Yeah, well, you could ask a
19:10
bunch of people to do it. Next time we're with our
19:12
friends, let's just get a bunch of people, yeah.
19:13
And just. Start shouting Red Rover, Red
19:16
Rover. Send cookie right over.
19:18
I'm in. Oh, you will break my arm.
19:20
I can't do that with my shoulder.
19:21
Oh. Oh.
19:23
Oh no, I didn't know the last time I played.
19:27
That would be the last time I played.
19:28
Well, maybe not forever though. Sometimes you just throw caution
19:32
to the wind and take a chance. That's true.
19:34
I mean, I've had a bunch of surgeries and I'm not always the
19:36
smartest guy with my body. Did you know like the last time
19:40
you were playing? Like, I think about that.
19:42
There's, I just never realized that would be the last time I
19:44
would do something like that. And I haven't yet done it in how
19:47
many years? 20 years, right, Of course.
19:49
Not but like it's part of that's because you naturally grow out
19:52
of some of that behavior. Sure, some of it, some of it
19:57
indeed. Now, that being said, we have
20:00
participated as full grown adults in many wonderful games.
20:05
One of my all time favorites being capture the flag, which oh
20:12
so good. And boy, do we have a story or
20:14
two about that. But we invited a bunch of our
20:18
friends who invited some of their friends, and we were in a
20:20
local park and had, I don't know, it had to have been 30
20:25
people at least. Maybe. 40 people because like,
20:28
you know, we invited 15 people and then like they're like when
20:33
we invite some people and then all of a sudden there was
20:35
another 1520 people. We were like, oh, this is we got
20:40
a serious game going. And this was after dark.
20:43
Oh yeah. Well.
20:45
Which is technically we didn't know it was illegal, but we
20:48
found out. Remember that one cop?
20:50
I think we, but you know, I mean like we weren't like getting
20:54
drunk or doing anything like that in the we were just having
20:58
a fun night time game of capture the flag in the middle of a City
21:01
Park. And there were lots of us
21:04
though, and we didn't get in trouble at that time.
21:07
No, I don't think we did. Was that the time that the kid?
21:11
But we did learn maybe you shouldn't play capture the flag
21:14
in the dark in a park, because in the dark in a park.
21:19
You're like Doctor Seuss. I know.
21:20
I'm trying to come up with one more and I'm not there in.
21:22
The dark in the park. You heard a lark.
21:25
I That's lame. Oh, did a dog bark?
21:29
Wow. Anyhow, there are holes that you
21:33
can't see that you could probably see in the day.
21:37
Oh yeah, like little divots in the ground.
21:39
Divots and dips and but there was lots of tripping, but we
21:43
were I was young enough where I could easily do that jump back
21:47
up, you know, not hurt any of my already painful body parts.
21:52
But yeah, we did have, we did have someone who.
21:55
There's a fine young man who had joined the the fun.
21:58
Yes. Who we did not know at the time,
22:01
had had previous breaks in his forearm bones and he was getting
22:11
after it. And there was a there was an
22:14
incident in which he tumbled to the ground going way too fast.
22:18
I don't know if he had the flag or what, but he came up with a
22:23
crooked arm that was like a it was like it was supposed to be
22:26
straight. And it took a couple of turns
22:28
and we were like, Oh no. And then the kids reaction was
22:33
not oh, this hurts. It wasn't like, what are we
22:37
going to do now? He said my dad's going to kill
22:40
me. Yeah, that was it.
22:44
Because apparently he'd been warned to like where is cast or
22:48
something. No, I don't.
22:49
Know or not play aggressive games or something.
22:53
Right, right. Well, and that was a definitely
22:55
a kid answer. I mean, we were adults at the
22:57
time, but like. He was probably.
23:00
That was like 17 kid answer. Like my dad's going to kill me.
23:03
Like when I was a kid, that would have been my answer to
23:06
like, Oh my God, I got hurt, my mom's gonna kill me.
23:08
Yeah, 'cause you were always supposed to know better than to
23:11
injure yourself. I don't.
23:12
Really. And shout out to my mom.
23:14
That would not have ever been her reaction.
23:16
She would have been concerned about our health and well-being
23:20
and just took us in, never would have been in trouble for what we
23:23
were doing. Well, OK, so chances are, I
23:26
mean, yes, I'm not going to say my mom and dad wouldn't have
23:29
been concerned, but chances are when whatever happened happened,
23:33
we were doing something we weren't supposed to do.
23:36
So it would be a are you alive? Great.
23:39
What did you? What were you doing that was?
23:41
Wrong. Oh, right.
23:42
No, I think what I'm saying is in the case of my mother, she
23:46
probably didn't care what wrong we were doing because if we were
23:51
doing something outside fun and creative, she would fully
23:54
endorse all of the stupidity most of the time.
23:57
Wow. Well, that's that's who she is.
23:59
See, maybe your mom, you know everything you did.
24:02
Well, that's probably true. As I've gotten older, I've
24:05
shared with her many of the totally insane stories that I
24:10
did that I did participate in and or start.
24:15
Right, right. Well, so anyhow, yeah, that was
24:18
quite a game that we were able to play as adults, but it was a
24:21
big one when we were kids, you know, another game or two that
24:26
were huge and still, you know, like, still epic, Right Tag.
24:31
Oh, for sure. The game of tag.
24:33
I think as an adult it would be. Probably like the one
24:37
transcending all time, I wonder. How?
24:40
Long that game has been like let's play tag.
24:45
I feel like that might go as far back as like the caveman era,
24:51
like when who don't maybe even I I'd I'd like to watch a little
24:56
Discovery Channel special and find out if like little troops
24:59
and chimps, monkeys and gorillas.
25:01
Maybe they. Oh, do they?
25:02
Run around and just whack and they tag them and then they
25:06
probably do. They play like I've seen dogs
25:08
play chase, you know, and they go back and forth, you know, Who
25:11
knows? Maybe that's the ultimate game
25:13
of all species. Yeah, well, why not?
25:16
I mean, it's I'm I'm sure they're.
25:18
Oh for sure. Think of cat videos on the
25:20
Internet. The cat sneaks up on the other
25:22
cat, gives it a, gives it a. What happened?
25:25
Takes off. Yeah, it's, it is a classic, you
25:29
know, the new one nowadays and by new, I don't know, it's
25:32
probably like 15 years old is Mafia.
25:37
Oh, this is the one our child plays and had to explain to us
25:41
'cause we thoughts that she was talking about something else.
25:44
Well, yeah, And it's a game where you have a couple people
25:48
who are, you know, like the probably it.
25:51
I don't know. They're the mafia.
25:52
They're the people who are gonna kill the other people.
25:55
And you have the hitman or. Yeah, yeah, probably that.
25:59
And there is a nurse and there is a sheriff.
26:03
So everybody closes their eyes. There's a nurse and a sheriff,
26:06
OK. I mean, apparently this is the
26:07
town they live in. Everybody closes their eyes and
26:11
whoever there's a storyteller too.
26:13
And whoever the storyteller, I don't know, she was explaining
26:16
to me, whoever the storyteller is will say, OK, mafia, or
26:20
they'll tap people and they'll be like, OK, open your eyes,
26:23
you're the mafia, right? And so then those people close
26:25
their eyes. Everybody closes their eyes
26:27
again, and then they tap one person and they're like, you're
26:29
the nurse. And then the nurse picks one
26:32
person to save. Oh, so it's blind so nobody
26:35
knows? Nobody knows who they are.
26:36
I think the mafia know who they all are.
26:38
But right, right, right. OK, but it's like eyes closed.
26:42
And yeah, yeah, I wonder if the sheriff isn't the person who's
26:46
picking all of these folks. That might make sense.
26:49
I don't remember but then the mafia go to kill the people and
26:51
if the nurse picked the person to save and it was a mafia.
26:54
Do they have to like choose a method of death?
26:57
There's yeah, they were. She was talking about that I
26:59
didn't fully understand. Does it have to like pass muster
27:02
of the rest of the mafia? It does.
27:04
Oh, no, no. And it didn't sound like like it
27:06
had to be a real cause of death, you know?
27:09
Do they? Oh, another game for when we
27:11
were kids? Does anyone die of dysentery?
27:15
Oh no. Oregon Trail.
27:19
Yeah, yeah. No, I don't.
27:20
I mean, they could, I feel I, I didn't fully get it, but it
27:23
sounded like fun. I would have loved it when I was
27:25
a kid for sure. I mean, who doesn't like a nice
27:28
game where you get to off your friends with creativity?
27:31
Right and like the the surprise it right, like you don't know
27:34
who the person is and all of that sounds fun, secretive, you
27:38
know I don't. Know that's another, you know,
27:40
another secret kind of secretive 1 sardines.
27:44
That's. Yes, what you call sardines in a
27:46
can I? Do call sardines in a can.
27:48
We have a sardine story involving bees.
27:50
Look at that, how it all ties together.
27:52
There you go Were. You there for that?
27:54
I was of course again another late night park night.
27:57
I didn't get stung. I did.
28:00
I know, I know, you did, and so did another side. 1st I don't
28:03
think I was the first to hide. No, you were the second you and
28:06
the other. I was the 1st.
28:07
To find the the hider, yes, in the little Bush, which was at
28:13
that time was fine. And then I think we got the
28:17
third person in. So let's explain sardines.
28:19
In can before sorry, sorry, going and why do you keep saying
28:23
in a can? I mean, you gotta be all
28:24
official. So for anyone who hasn't played
28:26
sardines in a can, it's like reverse hide and go seek.
28:28
It's pretty great one. Person who hides and then
28:31
everyone is quietly trying to find the person hide with them.
28:34
Like secret find. Like you don't want people to
28:37
know that you found the person and then you team hide and then
28:41
the last person there clearly is the loser.
28:44
Yeah, they lost. But they pick, they then are the
28:46
next person to like, go hide. Yeah, the first time.
28:49
Somewhere. Yeah, yeah, a lot of fun.
28:52
Epic version, not the bee stinging one, because what
28:55
happened was short. Short story Long or Long story
28:57
short, the bees came and we got stung and we were out of there.
29:01
Took off. Only a couple of you did.
29:02
I was with you hiding and I did not get stung.
29:04
It wasn't great. But you were quiet.
29:06
I thought that was pretty crazy. Well, you can't give away the
29:09
secret. That's important.
29:10
Yeah, you stuck true to the game.
29:13
One of the reasons I love that game is for the nostalgia it
29:16
brings. From when I was a kid, we had a
29:19
couple of great role models who were great best friends with my
29:23
mom who we would meet in in the night time and go and go join
29:33
the fun in a cemetery. I kind of feel weird saying it
29:36
in front of the camera. It's illegal.
29:37
It's super illegal and probably not the smartest thing
29:41
especially. Disrespectful.
29:42
Especially, well, that and especially if you believe in
29:45
ghosts. But the theory is, I mean the
29:48
dead. The dead folks probably don't
29:50
care. I'm just.
29:51
Saying I wouldn't do it. To the living, potentially, but
29:54
if you're dead you just don't care.
29:56
I mean, maybe. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it
29:58
and I'm not saying I wouldn't enjoy.
30:00
Like if I was buried underground, to have people out
30:04
there doing that, I would think that was great.
30:05
Well, we did find a fun Halloween decoration that had a
30:08
little from that, from our episode about death.
30:12
The little ring the bell if you're buried alive.
30:14
That was cute. Anyway, so the reason that
30:17
particular Sardines event was memorable for me was the
30:22
person's hiding place was on top of a large, not headstone 'cause
30:28
it was like, you know, I don't know, maybe 3 by 4 feet on the
30:34
top of a pedestal. So it was a big, big gravestone.
30:40
Yeah. And the person who was the first
30:44
hider posed on top of it like a statue.
30:48
And it took forever for anyone to find out that there was
30:54
somebody up there. And then even like when there
30:57
was two people, it still took forever.
30:59
Like I think this game took three hours because once there
31:02
was enough people and it took me forever because I was young.
31:06
I was probably 10 or something. Also shout out to my mom for
31:09
just letting a kid at 10 run around a graveyard.
31:12
I think that's pretty live anyway.
31:15
So like once there was a crowd of people on the gravestone,
31:19
then it became easy and hilarious and people were trying
31:21
to climb up there and we didn't all fit, but it was a super
31:24
funny game. That's not something I would
31:26
admit in public. Well, I just admitted it to
31:28
everybody. Yeah, yeah, it was a great time.
31:31
Well, OK. Thankfully, I wasn't an adult at
31:35
that time making adult decisions.
31:36
So, Luke, let me ask you a question.
31:38
Oh goodness, and now folks, the moment you've all been waiting
31:42
for and that I've been surprised by in this corner claiming to
31:46
weigh in at 135 lbs, we have the ever lovely and sometimes hair
31:52
rockinist version of herself, Amber.
31:56
And in this corner we have Luke and you can't see it and one day
32:01
we'll talk about it. But he is sporting some new
32:03
tattoos. Oh, that's true, I am.
32:07
And we have some tallies here on winning.
32:10
This is depressing. I think you.
32:13
Mean tallies on losing. Well, OK, so I mean you have
32:16
one. I have.
32:17
Three last five, yeah, we have a tie on one and we have another
32:24
one that is still out there. Still out there?
32:27
I got a chance. Well.
32:28
Actually 2 that are out there. So get out there and vote.
32:32
You should vote for me if you. Don't vote for me with me, but.
32:35
If you agree with, listen. Right.
32:37
She plays dirty pool. She researches people.
32:40
That's not that's not fair options he has.
32:42
I told her today. Not.
32:44
To I didn't have time to research.
32:45
I did not research. I did not need to well.
32:48
So here we go. So let.
32:49
Me ask you a question. Yes, please.
32:52
What was your favorite game to play as a kid?
32:56
And so here we go. The deliberation process of
33:01
what's the best childhood game is like agonizing because we
33:06
already mentioned some pretty strong contenders and some of
33:10
those at one point or another were in the top for me and I
33:16
it's, I mean, there's so many, it's hard to pick.
33:19
We did. I will say just for clarity, for
33:21
the sake of the listener, we stayed away from sports because,
33:26
well, like. Organized.
33:28
Sports, Yeah, that's what I mean, like organized, like not,
33:30
not, you know, game sports, but like basketball, baseball, you
33:35
know, soccer, stuff like that. And so for me, trying to pick a
33:41
favorite was super difficult. I already talked about
33:44
nostalgia. I have quite a few capture the
33:46
flag stories as well, one somehow involving a watermelon.
33:50
I think we decided that the flag was a watermelon at some point.
33:55
OK. And so carrying a watermelon as
33:57
you ran through the woods was, you know, was pretty tough.
34:01
Like, you don't want to drop that because then you killed the
34:04
flag. That added a layer of of mystery
34:07
to the game. I digress.
34:12
That was not my choice. So for me, the choice today was
34:18
partially about what was my favorite, but was also about
34:22
what might be most people's favorite because the listener
34:28
ought to have a little fun too. And I just wasn't sure if some
34:32
of these games that I played as a kid were commonly played by
34:35
all. So for me, I chose the classic
34:41
cops and robbers, which might be called something else now.
34:46
And I love that game because it was a mixture of two all time
34:53
classics. That will be man.
34:56
I mean, if you would have had this be the contenders, hide and
34:59
go seek and tag, that would have been that would have been tough.
35:03
That would have been tough. But you mix those two games
35:08
together and you have cops and robbers.
35:12
You do. Which is pretty great.
35:15
So for if anyone, I mean, I'd be shocked if there are people
35:18
listening to this who don't know the game, but I'll just briefly
35:21
a brief summation for the new age group of 23 to 27, they have
35:25
to know this for the Youngs. They all know this.
35:28
They they all know, but. You can explain.
35:30
Has our kid ever played it? I don't know but.
35:33
You. I don't know if she knows anyway
35:36
that'd. Be very sad if.
35:37
She so good guys, bad guys, you could pick whatever name you
35:39
want and the the bad guys all go hide.
35:44
And traditionally, at least with me growing up, this was you had
35:48
to set boundaries, but it was anywhere in the neighborhood you
35:51
live. Yeah, anywhere on the block.
35:52
And it didn't matter. You could have been in.
35:54
I often was in somebody else's yard.
35:56
Yeah. Or tree.
35:57
Yeah, or whatever. If the door was open, it counted
36:00
like a garage. You couldn't go in someone's
36:03
house that was off limits. So inside house was off limits
36:06
and outside of the boundaries was off limits.
36:09
And that was it. So we did some wild stuff back
36:13
in the day, like we would hide on top of roofs.
36:16
We, we would hide in trees, under bushes, I mean, all kinds
36:23
of stuff. And the radius typically was big
36:26
enough that it could, it could take a while.
36:29
And as well it should if you're trying to entertain children
36:34
for, you know, I don't know, let's say it's in the summer
36:37
'cause that's when I remember playing most of these games for
36:40
like hours because you needed to figure out how to fill a full 2
36:45
1/2, three months. How long in summer?
36:46
2 1/2 months. Not long enough, not long
36:49
enough, but try to fill that up. And, you know, back when we were
36:53
growing up, I mean, I don't know if it was just us and our
36:56
economic surroundings, but nobody was in like, like, like
37:01
daycare or like nobody was rare. Nobody was in like a program.
37:06
There's a lot of people that play like sports in the summer,
37:09
but not like like it wasn't as common as it seems like it is
37:12
now. It's like we were all latch
37:14
kickers. Yes.
37:16
So to entertain somebody, you got to have a game to last a
37:18
while. So our boundaries in my
37:20
neighborhood would be substantial.
37:23
I mean, it'd be like, I can't even, I, I don't know, 12 blocks
37:29
long. I feel like I remember it
37:30
sometimes. Oh.
37:31
Wow. Oh yeah, like.
37:33
Caps and robbers. Sure, all the all the way down
37:36
to the park, all the way to the train tracks.
37:39
That's. Weird.
37:40
Well, I don't know what kind of you had what A2 block radius or
37:43
something. One block?
37:44
One block. Yes.
37:46
Oh my goodness. There's like 30 houses, 30 yards
37:50
to hide in. Well, we anyway.
37:52
So we did. We did some wild, wild hiding.
37:57
There was a lot of tree action, a lot of bushes and it would
38:01
take a while and then. Like a month?
38:03
No, that's a long time. I mean, you play the same game
38:07
with the same people in the same neighborhood for long enough and
38:10
the hiding spots get sort of known.
38:12
Well, sure, you know, you got to mix it up anyway.
38:16
Plus the time matters. Like if you have, you know, 4
38:21
hours versus 2, you could change the radius and then and then,
38:26
OK, so getting past the hiding. So you got the boundaries, you
38:30
got the hiding area. Then the most fun part comes is
38:34
not only because you're a bad guy or a good guy, not only do
38:38
you have to be seen and then you have to be caught, so you get to
38:44
run away. So you got your hiding spot, and
38:47
then the cops, like I found you and you're like, catch me
38:52
sucker. And you take off running.
38:54
And then it's basically a game of really, really intense tag,
38:58
weaving around bushes and around houses and over fences and
39:03
trying to avoid capture. And then if you get caught, you
39:09
go to jail. And when you go to jail, you
39:11
lose. I mean, I feel like there were
39:13
some variants when maybe you could have got broken out of
39:16
jail, but I could also be wrong. And so that's why for me, like
39:21
that's probably the best game as a kid and the best game because
39:27
it blends the two classics that are all standing that it's they
39:32
stand the test of time. They're they're all fantastic,
39:35
all wonderful, all-encompassing tag and hide and go seek mixed
39:39
together with some adventure. So that for me, that's it.
39:45
And I think my argument's complete at this point, although
39:48
your face has to be concerned. No, only cuz I'm blown away that
39:52
you played it on a 12 block radius.
39:55
Well, how far? OK, you know where I grew up.
39:57
Are you? Yes.
39:58
So if you were from like my house to the to the track.
40:03
To the territory. It went to the tracks.
40:06
Often it would be to the tracks down to the park.
40:10
I guess maybe it didn't go past the end of the street and then
40:14
it would go back, but it didn't go back past the alley.
40:20
So I'm just, OK. So it really was.
40:22
So it was like 1 block. OK.
40:25
Like lengthwise, but probably I don't know 3 or 4 the other
40:32
width wise I guess because it went through 123 4 rows of like
40:39
houses, so that would be equivalent to like four blocks I
40:42
guess it. Still seems really large.
40:44
It was. We were wild.
40:46
I don't know. Yeah, yeah.
40:47
And fast. I mean, I, I kind of thinking
40:51
today as an adult, it would be really weird to have some kid
40:56
just randomly hiding in the yard.
40:58
Could you imagine? You just go out?
40:59
You'd. Be like, what are you doing?
41:01
Maybe like cops and robbers. I'd be like, heck yeah, that's
41:04
amazing. I hope you win.
41:07
I mean, I would actually probably be very happy for them
41:09
if they were to say. But you would ask though.
41:11
Yeah, I'd be like, can I help you and begging mom.
41:14
Or nobody would have asked. No.
41:16
Like they just no. No, there was always some
41:19
someone who. Oh yeah, you had like a old man
41:22
crotchety or something in your neighborhood.
41:23
I'm not naming names on purpose. Well, I think everybody had
41:26
somebody in their neighborhood who was a killjoy.
41:29
That's probably true. Who didn't want?
41:31
People. I don't recall what.
41:32
And they were talking I Oh, well, maybe not in
41:34
Pleasantville, but like. I think in Pleasantville.
41:37
I think that, well, that was a good game When we were talking
41:44
about this, the the game that I always loved as a kid that was
41:50
so great that it was not that it was that even the the adults
41:58
around really kind of encouraged this game.
42:01
It would be actually more of a gym game, which later would be
42:06
turned into a sport because it was so epic.
42:10
Was dodgeball. Mm hmm.
42:14
I loved dodgeball and what was great about dodgeball to me was
42:19
that you would have all these people who, you know, and this
42:24
was kids that probably in general would, you know, just
42:27
just really their size in common, right?
42:30
Their age in common. And you would have two captains.
42:34
And those captains would look at this huge line of people and
42:38
they'd be sizing them up, right? Like very different than, you
42:42
know, like a hide and go seek where you're picking one person.
42:45
But you'd have this captain and they'd be looking and they'd be
42:47
strategizing. How can I build the best team?
42:50
How do I get this team? And as a kid, well, I wasn't
42:55
though best at sports. I was pretty darn good at
42:58
sports. And being a kid in elementary
43:02
school, it was very much boys versus girls type of a concept.
43:07
And really well, OK, finish listening where frequently boys
43:14
would be picked first on teams, right?
43:18
So I would not be picked before the last boy.
43:22
I'd always be picked probably before one of the last boys,
43:25
which would make me one of the top girls, right?
43:29
Because people knew that I knew how to play the game really
43:31
well. And while I wasn't like I
43:36
wouldn't be able to throw the ball clear across the gym and
43:39
just pelt somebody, you know that boy, would you hit
43:42
somebody? I that, but I was really good at
43:45
catching the ball. Oh yeah.
43:47
And that is a huge thing in dodgeball to catch the ball and
43:52
get you're a good. Catcher, you're getting picked
43:54
for sure. You are getting picked and like
43:56
it would just be one of those times.
43:58
Every time I got picked I was like captain, my captain.
44:01
How? How can I help your?
44:04
Team captain, yeah. Yeah, it just felt such like
44:08
such a charge of honor. I don't know, I couldn't I it
44:10
just it would felt good to be picked and to play well.
44:15
Like I played that game really, really well.
44:18
And it's I could hit somebody close enough.
44:20
I would. But like that quite that that
44:23
slap and like you could hear that big red rubber ball, the
44:28
sound of that pelting somebody in a face.
44:31
Yeah, you know, and the thing was face it would I wouldn't use
44:35
that stuff. I wasn't hitting them in the
44:36
face, but you could hear that sound and the kid would be like,
44:40
I'm OK, because they still want to play, you know, like it
44:43
wouldn't matter. They're like, boom, back in the
44:46
game. Let's win this for whatever team
44:48
it was. If it was class on class, it was
44:50
a matter of who who could actually bring it.
44:53
And then the bragging rights from that game, if you were good
44:58
at that game, that reputation that continued with you, you
45:03
know, and people were like, that kid can play and if you weren't
45:06
good, it's OK. We still needed bodies to get
45:08
hit by the ball. That's.
45:09
True, you need bodies. There was a role for everybody,
45:13
and sometimes there would be sacrificial lambs, and that's
45:16
OK. You know, that was your that we
45:19
needed people to get hit to, you know, like the strategies and
45:23
like the combining together. And it was not like here are the
45:28
rules, you know, or you didn't have a coach saying here are the
45:31
plays or anything like that. It was kids, how can we make
45:35
this happen? It was so well, you had to have,
45:39
if you're in school, your teacher would say you can play
45:41
this game. But also like thinking about
45:43
that, you know, like the teachers just like, I just want
45:46
to see these kids throw balls at each other all day.
45:49
Just kick up and relax that. 'D be pretty fun.
45:51
And they knew that we would always love it.
45:53
Always. You know, there was never I,
45:56
well, of course I see the eyes and with you myself, but I don't
45:59
ever remember thinking I don't want to play that game right
46:02
now. There's a few different versions
46:04
of dodgeball and when I was a kid, we had something that was
46:07
really similar to dodgeball. It was essentially dodgeball,
46:10
but we called it trench and I think it had to, there was maybe
46:13
a couple more balls and there were in dodgeball, I have no
46:15
idea. But then there was another kind
46:17
of dodgeball where people would stand against a wall and you'd
46:22
have the person who's throwing trying to hit people with the
46:24
big rubber ball. That is not my favorite version.
46:27
It is the team version which is not now later on has now it is
46:34
such a great game that has turned into a sport, which is
46:37
not typical. I mean maybe all sports started
46:40
this but it is now a sport and I also.
46:43
Roller Derby is a sport. Now, roller Derby is a sport
46:45
too, but that's not what I'm talking about.
46:47
I'm talking about dodgeball and I years ago.
46:51
This is a really weird memory, but years ago I had a dream.
46:56
This was when I was pregnant. I had a dream about dodgeball,
47:00
which is a weird thing to dream about, but I really liked it as
47:03
a kid. Had you recently watched the
47:04
movie Dodgeball? No, no.
47:06
But I had a dream, and I was. I was dreaming that suddenly out
47:14
of somewhere, someone had invented trampoline dodgeball.
47:20
So I was really kind of excited about this concept, you know,
47:25
And then like a few days later or something, I don't know,
47:27
maybe it probably heard something about it, but it
47:29
didn't cross my brain at the time.
47:31
But then at some point, well, I was pregnant, someone said, did
47:34
you know that they're playing trampoline dodgeball at the
47:37
trampoline park? And I was so sad.
47:39
I was like, but I can't play. I'm like 85 weeks pregnant.
47:44
Jumping on a trampoline and throwing balls is probably not
47:47
what I should be doing. I was so sad and I was going to
47:50
play it when I was no longer pregnant and I haven't yet.
47:54
Well, I have and it is. It's wild.
47:58
I bet it's epic. I don't know if I like it more.
48:03
With the trampoline than without the trampoline it.
48:06
Definitely adds an element of insanity that is not there in
48:10
the regular game and it's much more dangerous because if you're
48:15
I've seen some bad listen if you get hit hard enough while you're
48:20
in like a mid jump, it's going to mess up your landing.
48:24
Yeah, yeah. So folks like you and me, we're
48:27
probably breaking an ankle in that situation.
48:31
Well, there's many reasons why I don't jump on trampolines
48:34
anymore. And yeah, I don't it's, it's
48:39
not. Maybe one day I'll risk it
48:42
again. I mean, I would play against you
48:44
in trampoline basketball. It would be my pleasure.
48:47
I feel like I would win. I would sacrifice certain parts
48:51
of me that have been broken down by time because I did.
48:55
I mean like I I can throw pretty.
48:59
Sounds like you could catch pretty well.
49:00
I can catch real. Well, that's a good, that's a
49:03
good skill to have. Yeah.
49:04
Yeah. I was picked for throwing when I
49:06
was a kid. Really.
49:08
Yep. You dodgeball?
49:09
Hell yeah. So.
49:12
OK, what do you say? You haven't played any sports.
49:14
I'll trust you. How many sports have you played
49:16
with me? I will trust.
49:18
You. That's like 0.
49:20
I, I, I will trust you. OK, I don't trust you.
49:23
A lot of eye rolling on that's. Because I have seen you throw.
49:27
A dodgeball. No.
49:29
OK, no, they're not all the same.
49:32
I understand. Yeah, I am the one who played
49:35
lots of sports with throwing balls.
49:37
The reason I'm probably better at dodgeball than the small ball
49:39
sports is because. Than the small ball sports,
49:43
yeah. I mean, like, I'm OK at just not
49:46
like a fastball with like a baseball or a softball.
49:49
I could get it to somebody. I can throw football pretty
49:53
well. I'm not good at basketball.
49:55
There's something about getting it in the hoop, but I feel like
49:58
it's cuz of the size of the ball.
50:00
It's similar to a soccer ball and I was really good at soccer
50:03
as a kid, so I think that might have something to do with it.
50:08
OK, maybe, maybe not. But again, goes to show you,
50:11
you're like, I was good at dodgeball too.
50:14
I think most people have really good memories of dodgeball.
50:17
I bet there's a bunch of people that have pretty terrible
50:20
memories of dodgeball. Those sacrificial lamps might be
50:23
listening and watching. No, but no.
50:25
Right now. Such an.
50:26
Important theory, you Amber. I know, but you're trying.
50:29
To throw them a bone? No, it's you're out here pelting
50:32
them in the face. I did not say I.
50:35
Did that? No, because I.
50:36
Said I couldn't really do that. We were.
50:37
Just on the team that had the sacrificial lamps.
50:40
Everybody had sacrificial lamps, that's how it was.
50:43
My game was about the inclusion of the neighborhood.
50:48
No, this is including Everett. It wasn't.
50:50
Violence happening. What I've kind of heard, they
50:54
were talking about chasing people all over the place.
50:57
Yeah, we weren't beating each other up.
50:59
OK, you love you also said that you really like dodgeball, so
51:02
you can't go for sure. You cannot go banging on a game
51:06
that you're. Just.
51:07
Saying that you liked. I can't imagine there's many
51:10
people out there that have played cops and robbers that
51:13
would think, I gotta think, oh, I did not like that game.
51:15
But I guarantee you there's people out there who play
51:17
dodgeball who are thinking back on it right now going that was
51:20
not a good game for me. But I remember.
51:22
That's OK, I'm not trying to take you down.
51:24
I know. Yeah, you are.
51:26
The voters are gonna do. No, no, no, Luke.
51:28
Luke definitely want to take me down.
51:30
I understand. But here's me again.
51:33
I really have to go with my own personal favorite and not a vote
51:37
getter, OK? And for me, honestly, it's
51:40
dodgeball. And for me, it's cops and
51:44
robbers. It's tag plus hide and seek.
51:46
That's what it is there. It is.
51:50
There it is. That's the question asked and
51:53
answered for all the world. Literally the entire.
51:58
World. Whole world.
51:59

If we came up with a a version of cops and robbers dodgeball
53:21
for our friends, like right now, like let's go do cops and
53:23
robbers, but the cop has a dodgeball and the way he gets
53:27
you in jail is hitting you with the dodgeball.
53:29
I'm sure you know what, there would have been a time back in
53:33
