  Speaker 1: on the air? Just high-five. High-five right now. High-five. Here's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: why I'm high-fiving you guys. Okay, why?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Because we lived to tell about this story here. We
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: lived through this, and we are alive today.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: That we survived some of the most dangerous toys in
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: the history of mankind?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Reddit has a discussion, and we've been discussing this off
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the air. Let's bring it on the air.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: It was survival of the fittest, basically. Vintage toys. That
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: we loved, but what were we thinking?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: It's amazing we made it. You got tons of options here. Yes.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And add to the list if.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You think we're missing something at 44363. But Christine, can
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you relate to lawn darts?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, very much so. Lawn darts. We actually had a
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: dart board. In the basement.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So did we.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: You did too.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And I'd go down there and play with friends with
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: no supervision.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I played with way older brothers. I was like
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the little kid.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: No.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I feel like today parents would be like, no, you're
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: not taking your little sister down in front of the dartboard.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Nothing ever happened, right?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: You're fine. I'm here.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And then they finally came up with the whole Velcro dartboards.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Those were little balls, right?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Little balls. Yep. They would stick.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: That was a better idea. How about producer Kristen said
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: this was big for her. Skip it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: So Naomi, my daughter, we have one of these and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: she enjoys it. And the way you described it, Kristen,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: off the air is what I see Naomi do every weekend.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You put this little circle around your ankle.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: One ankle.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And you spin your ankle and the thing, the big
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: like ball at the end. Yeah. Is the weight of it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Will spin around and you just jump over that.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it'll hit you in the shin a lot.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Your timing is off.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: So you're having fun, but then every five seconds.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: And it still hurts her? Like, they still haven't changed it?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It's lighter.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I think it's lighter compared to what it was a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: few years ago. It's not as heavy, but I see
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Naomi go, you know, getting frustrated with it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Did you guys have click clacks?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I've heard of click clacks. I don't remember
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: click clacks.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think we had them. But it would leave
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: you with a black eye if you weren't careful. Rollerblade Barbie.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Her rollerblades could actually create sparks.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't have that. I did roller skates, which I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: would fall down all the time.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Without any padding on or anything. Oh, no.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: That's not. That's never good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I saw vintage chemistry sets on here.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And these were great. Oh, my goodness. They were great ideas, right? Educational, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: But some of them contained mercury, radium, even uranium.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: They're like back to the future.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: That was crazy. Cubby, this is one that you did
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: not quite survive.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Which one?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: BB guns.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: You'll shoot your eye out. You still have one.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I've told this story a million times. I won't tell
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: it again, but synopsis, a friend of mine by accident
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: shot me with a BB gun when I was 14
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: years old.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: And it's still in your face.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's still in my face today. It's gone from my,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: where my nose is. It's fallen over the years and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it's right above my teeth.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And every time I go to a dentist, I've had
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the same dentist for a while, but when I used
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to go to a different dentist, They would take the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: x-rays and they'd always go, what is this?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a big white dot above my teeth.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's nuts. Slap bracelets. Yes. Early metal versions could
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: really mess you up. Why?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But, Christine, I don't think they hurt that much. I'm
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: surprised this is on the list. Slap bracelets, do they
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: hurt really when you slap them on?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: The metal ones, when they first came out. Oh, you're
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: tougher than me.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: To me, they just wrapped around you.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Eh, no. No, they're slapped for a reason. Boom. There
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: had to be some force.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: All right, all right.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: How about the Easy Bake Oven?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Another one that I disagree with. It was a light bulb.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I know people think oven, heat.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Kid, hot, all that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: That light bulb heated up. All right, you can still
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: burn yourself with a light bulb. Yes, you could.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: But it took you four hours to make a cupcake.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Or one little cookie.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: The pogo sticks, we didn't have stuff like that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: We had a pogo stick, and if you're bouncing straight
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: up and you're good, oh, it's fun.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But then you divert a little bit to the left
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: or right, and you're.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Like, whoa! Yeah, mom's taking us to the emergency room.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: We would always do it on cement that was near grass, though.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: So if you felt like you were tipping one way
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: or the other, you'd go.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Towards the lawn.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: How about, they still do slip and slide?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, they do, and I gotta tell you, that's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a good point.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I used to get hurt on that because it looks like, oh,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: this is fun. Just let's go.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You could break an arm. Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, a tree root is underneath you or something. Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Right into the groin.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: If you feel like we're missing something, please text us
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: at 44363. Some old vintage toys that you're amazed we survived.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Just heard from Bronx Girl Brenda. We love you. And
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: she said, I survived Click Clacks. Love you guys.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Click Clacks. I got to look those up. Was that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: more of a.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I kind of remember it, but maybe from commercials.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't like a girl thing. Boys and girls
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: played with it, right?
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Well, Bronx girl Brenda played with it. All right.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Brenda.
