• 0:03
  Speaker 1: how you get stuff fed to you from whatever, whatever.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: And I get this video on my Instagram and I've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: never seen this before. And I thought it was so clever.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And the guy was selling an event that I think
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: he came up with. And I thought it was so genius.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And I shot him a DM. His name is Mike.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I was like, Mike, could you come on our show
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and talk about this? And he said, yes. Mike, good morning.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Hello. Good morning.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Hey, can you tell everybody that I'm here in the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: studio with what you got going on?
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for having me on. So I started something
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: a few months ago. I just bring a bunch of
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: games to the park and see who shows up. And
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: now it became a thing called Adult Recess.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: That's fun. I love Adult Recess. Right? Adult Recess. So
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: what are some of the games? Explain, please.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we have, oh man, there's so many games.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: So we have basketball, football, wiffle ball, soccer, slam ball. Volleyball, kickball, dodgeball, frisbees,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: a bunch of card games, board games. We also have
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: a tug-of-war, a big parachute, and we play sharks and
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: minnows and tag. We did Duck, Duck, Goose the other day.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: And it's just nuts to see, like, 50 people playing Duck, Duck, Goose.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Isn't that wild? That's awesome. Here's his video.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: My name is Mike, and I host Adult Recess.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: The next one will be this Sunday from.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: 4.30 to 6.30 p.m.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: At Apache Park in Scottsdale, Arizona. I love it. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: love it. I want to go if we could do
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Red Rover. Oh, yes, Red Rover. That's fun. Break some arms.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: My sister broke her arm that way. I bet. Well, Mike?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a game that so many people have asked
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to play. And we're just like, everyone's going to get hurt.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: They're going to get choke-holded.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Literally.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: To play that with adults would be awesome.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, we do all those different types of things.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: And the age ranges range from, I mean, anyone from,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: you know, 18 years old to, I mean, we have
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: 70-plus people hanging out with us.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's cool. Do you charge for it at all
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: or just come on over?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I literally live down the street. I put all the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: games in a wagon and I wheel it to the park.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I set everything up. And whoever shows up, shows up.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Really cool. Really cool.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to make it too much of a...
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: How everyone's doing things are optimizing and trying to get
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the best return.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And I get that. I run businesses too, and I
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: will do that in those businesses. But for these things...
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I don't want people to come in with pressure or
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: feeling like they have to network or they have to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: be something other than who they are as they just
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: show up.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you get that because there's so little
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: left in the world with no strings attached that's just
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: authentic and fun. Good for you.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Thank you so much.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So this Sunday.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this Sunday, I usually, everyone's been saying it's every Sunday,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: but I don't have it every Sunday, even though it
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: has been pretty much every Sunday. I just make the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: call during the week if I want to do it
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: or not, and usually it's like 90% yes. So the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: next one, this Sunday, October 25th from 4.30 to 6.30.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: At Apache Park. I don't know where that is, or
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: maybe I do know where it is. Tell me where
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Apache Park, it's off of 85th Place and McDowell. So
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: it's McDowell and Hayden. Is that a right word?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Is there a skate park there? There's a skate park there.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: No, it's close. That's like a park just west of
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: this park.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Okay. I know exactly where it is. All right.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So it's this Sunday, 430. You just come. You don't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: need to sign a waiver. You can probably do this
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: until someone gets hurt and sues you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right? That's fine.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Even then, it's like, you know, like, I always think
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: about permits and all these things, and people want to
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: work with me, but... I mean, I can't stop people
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: from showing up to a park and playing games.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: You're right. I get it. I could fall into legality
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Hopefully people are crueler than that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Someone actually already broke their wrist doing Duck, Duck, Goose.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: And they actually messaged me and said, yo, I'm the
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: person that hurt themselves playing Duck, Duck, Goose. Worth it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome. You got Duck, Duck, Goose. You could
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: do Ring Around the Roses. Right?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Tag?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Kill the man with the ball? Oh, you should do
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the parachute. Get a parachute and do the parachute game.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You know, all the stuff that you can't say anymore
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: because it's.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: It's so fun to see, like, all these adults that are,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you know, 40, 50, they're winning some of these games,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: and it's amazing to watch them play like they're kids.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because they got the skills from doing nothing
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: but that when they were kids. All right, brother.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Hey, thanks. I mean, I think, like, one of the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: biggest things is we forgot to have fun. We, we
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: like jades us and we have so much stuff in
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the way that, you know, we forget to have fun.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: We think we're too old and we're not good.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do it some Sunday in July when
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it's 120, that'd be a hoot.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You know that, you know that I started doing this
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: in May and June.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: So, so you've had people show up when it was 120.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I was doing it the entire summer and people were like, dude,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: it's so hot out there. And I'm like, well, then
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: don't come. I guess.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: You're there by yourself.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I just, The funny thing is I did this for
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: over a year last year, and I did a couple
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: games like wiffle ball and not like a lot like
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: adult recess like I have, and no one showed up
• 5:13
