SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
So something that's been bothering me since last
week.

SPEAKER_02 (00:02):
What's that?

SPEAKER_00 (00:05):
I referenced Janet Jackson's liner notes.
Her boobies.
Yes.
Yeah.
Because the cover is her likethis, right, with her hands up.
And I distinctly remember insidethe liner notes, it was somebody
holding.
On her boobies.
Right?

SPEAKER_02 (00:24):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (00:24):
So, okay.
I Googled it.
I tried to find it.

SPEAKER_02 (00:29):
You

SPEAKER_00 (00:29):
can't find it?
I cannot find it anywhere.
So now I'm second guessingmyself.

SPEAKER_02 (00:33):
Like the Mandela effect?

SPEAKER_00 (00:34):
Like the Mandela effect.
Oh, man.
Now, I remember standing outsideof my elementary school.
I don't even want to ask.
As a child.
And my friend, Chris...

(00:55):
I distinctly remember himshowing me that.
I remember where I was standingoutside of the kindergarten
room.
That's where the buses let usoff.
It wasn't a weird thing.
You

SPEAKER_02 (01:07):
were like, hey, kids, look at this.
But

SPEAKER_00 (01:09):
you couldn't find it?
I couldn't find it anywhere.
Turn off the safe search.
Should I look

SPEAKER_02 (01:14):
right now?

SPEAKER_00 (01:15):
No.
I don't want you to touch yourphone.
Okay.
We get lost in our phones.
I know.

SPEAKER_02 (01:18):
You're right.
You're right.
You're

SPEAKER_00 (01:20):
right.
You're right.
Because the only reason I say itlike that is because if you do,
I'm going to jump on my phone.
I know.
And then that's that.
It's going to be a whole thing.

SPEAKER_02 (01:27):
And then that's more editing.
More

SPEAKER_00 (01:29):
editing.
You know, we'll be here untilmidnight.

SPEAKER_02 (01:31):
Yeah, no.
I can't

SPEAKER_00 (01:32):
do that.
So I guessgapintheninetiesatgmail.com, if
you remember what

SPEAKER_02 (01:39):
I

SPEAKER_00 (01:39):
remember.
There was totally boobies.

SPEAKER_02 (01:40):
Right.
With hands on boobies.

SPEAKER_00 (01:42):
Okay.
Thank you.
Or if you can send us a pictureof the liner notes.
Not your boobies.
Not your boobies.
Again, within reason.
No, seriously.
If you have a picture, if youhave a copy of the CD, I guess I
could also just order the CD oneBay.
It was like four bucks.

(02:04):
Someone I know has the CD.
Where's the fun in that?
Let's track this thing down.
And also, it doesn't help thewhole Super Bowl...
show thing.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe it was like, okay,

SPEAKER_02 (02:15):
nowhere can you find her nipple.

SPEAKER_00 (02:18):
Well, the thing is, like, that's 90% of what comes
up, and then, like, picture ofthe album, like, I can't find
it.
Did you

SPEAKER_02 (02:25):
Google liner notes?

SPEAKER_00 (02:28):
Yeah.
Well, that's what I Googled.

SPEAKER_02 (02:30):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (02:31):
I didn't just Google Janet Jackson boob.

SPEAKER_02 (02:34):
Hands on boobs.

SPEAKER_00 (02:35):
Because I'm not 10 anymore.

SPEAKER_02 (02:36):
I would probably Google.

SPEAKER_00 (02:38):
Oh, I did, like, every variation.
I can't even Look.
Take 30 seconds.
Check it out.
Okay.
See what you can find.

SPEAKER_02 (02:45):
So we have her face.
More of her face.

SPEAKER_00 (02:50):
I saw her stomach in one picture.

SPEAKER_02 (02:52):
Her amazing curls.
Oh, I got some armpits.

SPEAKER_00 (02:57):
Yeah.

UNKNOWN (02:58):
No boobies.

SPEAKER_00 (02:59):
Nope.
I don't even want boobs.
I want hands.
Because that's what it was.
It was hands on her boobs.
That's exactly

SPEAKER_02 (03:03):
right.
It wasn't her boobs.
That's weird.

SPEAKER_00 (03:05):
Nothing, right?
No.

SPEAKER_02 (03:07):
No.

SPEAKER_00 (03:08):
Okay.

UNKNOWN (03:08):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (03:08):
So gapoftheninetiesatgmail.com.

SPEAKER_02 (03:11):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I got a shirt.

SPEAKER_00 (03:15):
I'll take that.

SPEAKER_02 (03:16):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (03:16):
I'll take that.

SPEAKER_02 (03:17):
It's hands on boobies.

SPEAKER_00 (03:20):
Okay.
So we can agree it existedbecause it was bothering me.
Yes.
I mean, I didn't spend like myday on it, but I spent enough
time...
That it distracted me from otherthings that I was trying to, you
know, when your wife's like,what are you doing on your
phone?
And

SPEAKER_02 (03:36):
you're like, just let me just find the boobs.
I'm just trying to

SPEAKER_00 (03:38):
Google Janet Jackson's boobs.
Let me just get

SPEAKER_02 (03:40):
the boobs.
So I'm finding lots of shirts.

SPEAKER_00 (03:42):
Okay.
So that leads me to believe thatit was a thing.

SPEAKER_02 (03:46):
It existed.

SPEAKER_00 (03:47):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (03:47):
Oh, it was a Rolling Stone cover.
Wow.
Was it?
Oh

SPEAKER_00 (03:57):
man, I like very much

SPEAKER_02 (03:59):
remember it being in the

SPEAKER_00 (04:02):
liner

SPEAKER_02 (04:02):
notes.
But it's the same headshot.

SPEAKER_00 (04:05):
Yes, right?

SPEAKER_02 (04:06):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (04:08):
Okay, again, gapinthe90gmail.com.
If you remember it being in theliner notes, let us know.
You can also go on our socialmedia, Facebook, Instagram.
Threads.
Leslie may have mentionedsomething in the past about
threads or Germany.

SPEAKER_02 (04:29):
Whatever.

SPEAKER_00 (04:30):
So today, yeah, that's been bothering me.
Yeah,

SPEAKER_02 (04:35):
well, now we know.

SPEAKER_00 (04:37):
But do we?

SPEAKER_02 (04:37):
No.

SPEAKER_00 (04:38):
Because I feel like that Rolling Stone thing kind of
left a cliffhanger.

SPEAKER_02 (04:41):
Yeah, it did.
And I put my phone down becauseI didn't want you

SPEAKER_00 (04:45):
to yell at me.
Yeah, because, again, yeah.
All right.
So we'll find out.

SPEAKER_02 (04:50):
We'll find out.

SPEAKER_00 (05:05):
It's okay.
We got all the time in theworld.
Oh my gosh.

This is a milestone.

SPEAKER_02 (05:26):
Well, I texted Rebecca the other day and I was
like, listen, because she'sbusy.
We're listening to the Scandalpodcast.

SPEAKER_00 (05:34):
Obviously.

SPEAKER_02 (05:34):
Yeah.
And so I was like, hey, if youare bored, listen to episode

Robbins.

She was like, how did thathappen?

SPEAKER_00 (05:50):

SPEAKER_00 (06:26):
Well, I was really excited because I was like, oh,
we have 16 states.

Episode 10.
I mean, this is just what we...

SPEAKER_02 (06:50):
That is exciting.

SPEAKER_00 (06:52):
We could only have dreamed of this.

SPEAKER_02 (06:54):
I'm

SPEAKER_00 (06:55):
proud of us.

SPEAKER_02 (06:56):
I am too.
We had a lot of big ideas in the

SPEAKER_00 (07:01):
day.
A lot of big ideas.
I'm guessing most listeners knowus.
It's...
This is a lot.
It's a lot to stay on track,stay focused.
I

SPEAKER_02 (07:14):
would say our attention span together is maybe
a quarter

SPEAKER_00 (07:18):
of the average human.
That goldfish on my counteris...
The

SPEAKER_02 (07:21):
dead goldfish.

SPEAKER_00 (07:25):
Poor Ranger.
Oh,

SPEAKER_02 (07:26):
Ranger.

SPEAKER_00 (07:27):
So, yeah, we're doing good.
We're trucking.
We're going to keep going.
I'm excited about it.
I am, too.
And you know what?
Before we know it, we'll betalking about episode 20.

SPEAKER_02 (07:35):
I know.

SPEAKER_00 (07:36):
Episode 50.
Yes.
Episode 100.
Yeah, this is great.
We're going to be making

SPEAKER_02 (07:41):
guest appearances.

SPEAKER_00 (07:43):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (07:44):
Or something like that.

SPEAKER_00 (07:46):
We are due for a guest appearance.
I know, I was thinking that.
To have somebody a guest on.
I was thinking that.
So maybe next time we can...
So for those who don't know,which is probably everybody
outside of this room right now,we kind of just choose the
topics during the week.
Based on...

(08:07):
based on whatever comes up.
Yeah, whatever we're thinkingabout at that moment.
So, yeah, we can startscheduling.
Do you have people that

SPEAKER_02 (08:18):
you know want to be on it?

SPEAKER_00 (08:22):
No one has approached me and asked to be on
it.

SPEAKER_02 (08:26):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (08:26):
But I've asked people if they'd have interest,
and everyone I have has beenpretty interested.

SPEAKER_02 (08:31):
Yeah.
I definitely have friends thatare interested.
The one that is very 90s withme, Kate, she's like, no, man, I
don't even know how you do that.
Really?
But she's a big fan.
But how do we do what?
We just talk.
She said it would be like stagefright.

SPEAKER_00 (08:52):
Yeah, I mean, I think the first one a little...
The first one was a littleweird.
When I give the intro, ifthere's a third person here,
it's weird for me.
But beyond that, it's literallyjust talking.
Yeah.
So...

SPEAKER_02 (09:06):
And banging microphones.

SPEAKER_00 (09:08):
And banging microphones.
Get it out of the way.
So that being said, today we aretalking about board games in the
90s.

SPEAKER_02 (09:19):
And we both discovered the same thing.

SPEAKER_00 (09:22):
Yes, we did.
We'll get into that a littlebit.
Okay.
So speaking of which, let's justget into it.

UNKNOWN (09:31):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (09:40):
Welcome to Generation Gap in the 90s, the
podcast where a Gen X girl and amillennial guy dive deep into
the decade that defined us.
From OJ to Y2K, VHS tapes to thedawn of the DVD, we're
revisiting movies, music, andevents that shaped a generation,
or in our case, two generations.
I'm Will here with my co-hostLeslie.

SPEAKER_02 (09:59):
Leslie.

SPEAKER_00 (10:00):
And as we discussed, we are going to talk about board
games.
Now, I want you, Leslie, tothink of...
A time, a simpler time.
A simpler time we refer to asthe 90s.
Now, the board games you wereplaying were probably a little
different than the ones I wasplaying because of the

(10:22):
generation gap.

SPEAKER_02 (10:23):
Yes, but I don't know if they were.

SPEAKER_00 (10:28):
Well, something I just thought of earlier was...
You probably played a lot of mygames that I was playing while
you were babysitting

SPEAKER_02 (10:38):
kids.
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (10:41):
Yes.
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (10:42):
Because I definitely have ones in my head that I
played when I babysat ascompared to ones I played with
my friends and family.

SPEAKER_00 (10:51):
Okay.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (10:53):
We were a game family.
Were you a game family?

SPEAKER_00 (10:56):
We were kids.
It wasn't, like, a weekly thing.
Yeah, no, no, no.
But, like, yeah, definitelyloved games.
Yeah.
And, yeah, we had our set thingof games.
Yeah.
And we'll get into them,obviously.
I did the, you know, my favoriteboard games.

(11:16):
Mm-hmm.
And then I did the ones I hate.

SPEAKER_02 (11:19):
Oh.
So...
Man, I'll be able to speak onthat.
I don't have a list, but there'slots that I hate.
That's

SPEAKER_00 (11:25):
all right.
So...
I also put the dates down thatthey were invented, which that's
what we were discussing earlier.
A lot of these were veryinteresting to me.

SPEAKER_02 (11:44):
I had no idea that there was even board games in
the 1800s.

SPEAKER_00 (11:50):
Wasn't Nintendo started in the 1800s?
What are you talking about?
I believe they were a playingcard company.
What?
If I'm not mistaken.
Get out of

SPEAKER_02 (11:58):
here.

SPEAKER_00 (12:00):
If somebody wants to fact check that, that'd be
great.
Fact checkers in the booth, ifyou could hit that up.
Thank you.
So, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (12:11):
But wait.
Can I ask this first?
Were you a rule follower ofgames?
I

SPEAKER_00 (12:19):
was.
I was a rule follower.
I was also, I would say, a soreloser.
Were you?
That's where some of my games Idespise came into play.

SPEAKER_02 (12:31):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (12:32):
And here's the other thing about my list.
I only did board games.
Me too.
No card games.

SPEAKER_02 (12:39):
Oh, yeah,

SPEAKER_00 (12:39):
yeah.
So you guys were a board gamefamily?

SPEAKER_02 (12:42):
We were a board game family.
Okay.
And...
I would say we played by therules, but we would keep tempers
in check.
Okay.
So my friend who you know verywell, Jen F., her family is a

(13:03):
board game family and they playby the rules.
And it is like I...
When I have to play in thatfamily.

SPEAKER_00 (13:15):
I mean, I only met him once, maybe twice.
I could see her brother beingvery intense.
Oh, yeah.
Was he like an umpire

SPEAKER_02 (13:25):
or something?
Yes.
He still is.
I can't hear the word Fez.
F-E-Z.
Fez.
Without thinking of him, becauseI was at Jen's house.
I actually think it was herparents' house when we were
playing Scrabble.

SPEAKER_00 (13:40):
I was going to say, are they the dictionary with the
Scrabble?
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (13:43):
I love it.
And her brother happened to besomeplace else playing, and he
called up, and all he hears,Jen, is Fez a word?
And I was like, yeah, Fez is aword, and he was so angry.
Oh, man.

SPEAKER_00 (13:58):
It's probably like a triple word score

SPEAKER_02 (13:59):
too.
I think that's exactly what itwas.
You got to watch out for those.
I know.
I know.

SPEAKER_00 (14:06):
So yeah, you're...
Okay, so family-wise, did youplay them with your friends?
Were you big on playing boardgames or games with your
friends?

SPEAKER_02 (14:11):
I think I was.
Stacey and I would play games alot.
Okay.
Matt, not so much.
Matt was on his Atari.

SPEAKER_00 (14:23):
I think mine, it depended on who...
I was with, like, who washanging out.
I had a good friend named Kevingrowing up, Kevin J.
He had, like, all the best boardgames.
All the games.
Yeah, like, one came out.
His family was big into boardgames.
He's really smart, like, camefrom a smart family.
Yeah, he had, like, all the bestboard games.

(14:44):
So

SPEAKER_02 (14:44):
I was thinking that when I went through the board
games.
Like, we had a lot of boardgames, but the new ones that
came out we would never get.
Okay.
And I would be a little bitjealous because I would want
them.

SPEAKER_00 (14:58):
Well, I thought they were new until I started looking
them up and was like, what thefuck?
Yeah, I hear you.
So, all right.
To this day, I love board games.
I love game nights.
Same.
You know, my wife and I buygames when we see them.
We have our little game shelfover there.
I see a few right over here.
We have a box like in thebasement on the shelf.

(15:18):
Yeah.
We always talk about doing gamenights and you just never do.

SPEAKER_02 (15:22):
Because it just never happens.
It just never happens.
I know.

SPEAKER_00 (15:26):
Because it's life.
Speaking of

SPEAKER_02 (15:31):
life.

SPEAKER_00 (15:33):
Look at that segue.
The

SPEAKER_02 (15:34):
game of life.
That was not even planned.
Do you know it was created in1860?
I

SPEAKER_00 (15:42):
didn't before we started talking about...
until that one time you did findout yes but that's crazy okay so
was life on your list of gameswell life was on

SPEAKER_02 (15:55):
my list because I did I did enjoy and the reason
why was because I loved thinkingof the opportunity to have cool
jobs like doctor and lawyer

SPEAKER_00 (16:06):
okay I remember the life commercials it seemed like
a

SPEAKER_02 (16:11):
fun game the game of life that one

SPEAKER_00 (16:15):
sure No?
Was that how the commercialwent?
I don't remember.
I'm trying to think of the 90scommercial.
That's the tune.

SPEAKER_02 (16:25):
Ask Stacey.

SPEAKER_00 (16:26):
How'd it go?

SPEAKER_02 (16:27):
In the game of life.
Wow.

SPEAKER_00 (16:33):
I think it was too much for me.

SPEAKER_02 (16:37):
It was a lot of moving parts.

SPEAKER_00 (16:39):
No pun intended.
A lot of moving parts.
Do we decide we could playcommercials on here?
I think so.
All right, because I am going toplay one.
Okay.
So my list is in any kind oforder?
Same.
Okay.
How many games do you have?

SPEAKER_02 (16:59):
Well, I have 11.
Oh, damn.
But one of them...
was just because I liked thename and I never played it, but
I had a little story about it.

SPEAKER_00 (17:12):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (17:14):
And I don't necessarily love these.
A couple, I just have stories.
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (17:19):
I have, I actually have 12 now that I look on my
list, but six are love.
Okay.
Six are hated.
I

SPEAKER_02 (17:28):
can't wait to see if some of your hated or my hated.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (17:33):
I can't wait to see if some of my hated or your
loved.

SPEAKER_02 (17:35):
Yeah.
I can't wait to see if some ofyour loved are my hated.
I didn't even think of that.
Yeah.
All

SPEAKER_00 (17:45):
right.
Well, the game of life was noton my list at all.

SPEAKER_02 (17:48):
Oh, at all?

SPEAKER_00 (17:49):
No.
Oh, okay.
I didn't even...
Oh, no.
I

SPEAKER_02 (17:52):
played that a

SPEAKER_00 (17:53):
lot.
No, I didn't even think aboutit.
I think my aunt who lived inVermont, she had it.
So it was like we played itmaybe once.
No,

SPEAKER_02 (17:59):
I really loved making the choices.

SPEAKER_00 (18:02):
Okay.
I couldn't even tell you how itworked.
Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 (18:06):
Yeah.
All right.
Well, then let's stop talkingabout it.

SPEAKER_00 (18:09):
All right.
What's next?
Here's one you might have playedwhen you were babysitting.
Yeah.
But it's one I looked up and waslike, oh, crap.
It gave me that very nostalgic90s

SPEAKER_02 (18:19):
feeling.

SPEAKER_00 (18:20):
Yes.
What is it?
I think it was 90s DizzyDinosaur.
Did you ever play that?
I don't

SPEAKER_02 (18:24):
even know Dizzy Dinosaur.

SPEAKER_00 (18:25):
It was like you'd wind up the dinosaur and it
would like go in a randompattern, like hit you in little
pieces and stuff like that.
Oh my

SPEAKER_02 (18:31):
gosh, that's so cool.
It was an awesome game.
Was it supposed to be likeGodzilla?

SPEAKER_00 (18:34):
A friendly Godzilla, I guess.
You realize I'm going to playall these.

SPEAKER_02 (18:40):
But I didn't even...

SPEAKER_00 (18:41):
Oh, Dizzy.
It was Dizzy Dizzy Dinosaur.

SPEAKER_02 (18:43):
Oh.

SPEAKER_00 (18:44):
This is one of those games, like, I don't think I
ever actually played it theright way.
I was...

SPEAKER_00 (20:12):

SPEAKER_02 (20:12):
right.
But...

SPEAKER_00 (20:13):
Anyway.
Guess who did you play?
Was it the original where therewere five women and the rest
were guys?
So if you picked a woman...
Yes! What

SPEAKER_02 (20:24):
is that?

SPEAKER_00 (20:25):
Yeah.
They changed it now whereit's...
I think it's more like...

SPEAKER_02 (20:28):
Really?
Because...

SPEAKER_00 (20:29):
I saw an Instagram video.
I think it was Instagram.
I don't know.
I saw a social media video awhile back.
Was it they

SPEAKER_02 (20:36):
used the funny question?
Yeah, yeah.
So that's what we were doing.
Jen was like, do you think thisperson prefers coffee over

SPEAKER_00 (20:46):
tea?
That's the way to do it.
Yes.
It was so

SPEAKER_02 (20:49):
much fun.

SPEAKER_00 (20:49):
I also know of somebody, a friend of a friend,
who got a tattoo of a guess whopiece.
No.
They had themselves...
That's

SPEAKER_02 (20:59):
hilarious.

SPEAKER_00 (21:02):
A little jealous I never thought of that.
It's pretty great.
Well, can I

SPEAKER_02 (21:04):
tell you?
So, you know, we just had aretirement party on Friday.
And Jen and I were saying thatwe wish we had thought about it
sooner because we would haveloved to have taken...
yearbook pictures of like allpast people that worked at our
school and created our own guesswho board.
And then like who ate all ofthe, uh, you know, chocolates

(21:29):
out of the chocolate box.
That's right.
The best part is when it waslike, if the person likes to you
over coffee or whatever.
And Tegan and I, we were playingon the same like team, you know,
cause there's two player game.
And she was like, ma, he totallydrinks coffee.
I'm like, no, he does not.
He drinks tea.

SPEAKER_00 (21:49):
Yeah.
Great game.
Um, yeah, you would pick the,the females like once and be
like, it's crazy.
Yeah.
Why am I doing it?
Cause you lose every time.

SPEAKER_03 (21:58):
Yep.

SPEAKER_00 (22:00):
Um, I think everybody has the childhood
story of they guessed it on thefirst try.
Yes.
Just boom, got it.
Yes,

SPEAKER_02 (22:08):
yes.
Actually, that leads me into thenext game.

SPEAKER_00 (22:11):
Okay, jump in it.

SPEAKER_02 (22:12):
I'm going to.

SPEAKER_00 (22:13):
Jump on it.

SPEAKER_02 (22:14):
Clue.
So Clue is...
It was a difficult game, right?
Yep.
And I loved playing it, and itkind of made sense to me, but it
was like I got so like...
I just needed to guess.

(22:35):
Yeah.
And I remember whoever I wasplaying with would get so mad,
like, why are you saying it'sColonel Mustard in the library?
Like, we didn't even talk aboutthe library yet.
But I just wanted it...
You didn't even start.
I wanted it done.

SPEAKER_00 (22:50):
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (22:51):
So I would just guess.

SPEAKER_00 (22:53):
I agree.
Clue, not even on my list.
Didn't love it, didn't hate it.
I just...
Anything...
You had to concentrate.
Well, I don't know why you yellat me all the time for being
hard on myself.
I was never a smart person.

SPEAKER_02 (23:11):
Oh, well, yes,

SPEAKER_00 (23:12):
you were.
It just wasn't my brain type.

SPEAKER_02 (23:16):
Yes,

SPEAKER_00 (23:17):
it didn't work that way.
It wasn't my thought process.
Yes.
So clue, risk.
Yes.
My best friends loved risk.

SPEAKER_02 (23:26):
Risk, it makes me want to punch someone.
Yes.
To me, that's like just hand asocial studies book in front of
me.

SPEAKER_00 (23:34):
Exactly.
Right?
And again, it's not on my list.
I don't love it.
I don't hate it.
It's just nothing to me.
I've never...
I played it one night with myfriend, John and David, and they
made me play.
They kicked my ass.
I just didn't have any interestin it.

SPEAKER_02 (23:51):
Clue, I really, really liked how you would have
the person, the room, and theweapon all in one...
that you put it in, like, thelittle secret file pouch.
Yeah.
And I always liked that.
Like, oh, that's cool.
It's, like, all secret in thepouch.

SPEAKER_00 (24:10):
So that's what made you excited.

SPEAKER_02 (24:14):
The pouch.
Gotcha.
Well, I get it.

SPEAKER_00 (24:18):
I get it.
The Clue movie was great.
I was just going to say that.
I

SPEAKER_02 (24:23):
was just going to say that.

SPEAKER_00 (24:24):
Yeah, I never...
Again, it just...
Wasn't even on my radar.
I had no interest in it.
I'm more of a...
I'll jump into my next one,actually.
Please do.
I'm more of a...
When it comes to thought processand stuff, Trivial Pursuit is on
my list.
Loved Trivial Pursuit.
You know a lot of facts.
You are probably a fan.

SPEAKER_02 (24:46):
We should get 90s.

SPEAKER_00 (24:48):
Is that a thing?
I'm sure they must have a packfor 90s.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (24:53):
Because I remember my parents doing like a 60s one.

SPEAKER_00 (24:56):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (24:57):
And I hated because I didn't know the answers and
they knew them all.
My parents had the original.
Or what was it?
Like Baby Boomer or something.

SPEAKER_00 (25:03):
The Boomer Edition.
Yeah.
Yes.
Boomer Edition.
That's right.
And then they had the GeniusEdition, Genius whatever.
And then we had the original,which was, I didn't realize it
was 1981.
So that came out pretty late.
Oh, so

SPEAKER_02 (25:14):
I

SPEAKER_00 (25:14):
was only like.
Five.
32.
In

SPEAKER_02 (25:19):
dog

SPEAKER_00 (25:20):
ears.
Yeah, 81.
When I was a little older than81, because I wasn't born yet,
they came out with the Disneyedition or whatever.
We had that one.
I love trivia.
I love, like, bar trivia.
I love random knowledge, randomfacts.
Yeah, so I love Trivial Pursuit.

(25:40):
What was crazy, I feel like,again, everybody had somebody
they knew, whether it was afamily member...
Like, for me, it was ourneighbor.
She was one of those people who,like, had this insane knowledge
of, like, just random, like,deep fucking, like, every
category except for sports.

(26:01):
I don't think she knew sports.
But, like, TV shows.
All of it.
You know, art, history, all,like, the random stuff.
And you're, like, everyone'slooking at each other.
And she's, like, spouting outthese answers.

UNKNOWN (26:12):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (26:12):
I feel like everybody knows one of those
people who just knows very much

SPEAKER_02 (26:15):
stuff.
My mom, Joe Hyphen.
She was very good at TrivialPursuit.
Does she want to come over for

SPEAKER_00 (26:19):
a game

SPEAKER_02 (26:20):
night?
She would.
But you know what?
Joe Hyphen would know art.
Didn't you pick a category?

SPEAKER_00 (26:28):
So yeah, you would roll the dice.
Yeah, I guess we're not reallyexplaining the games

SPEAKER_02 (26:34):
anymore.

SPEAKER_00 (26:35):
It's okay.
You would land on a block, aspot, and then it would...
You could go in eitherdirection.
So you'd be like, oh, do I wantpurple, which is sports, or do I
want pink, which is history?
Gotcha.
I don't remember the colors.
And then so you'd go withwhatever, and then you would
answer one of that from thatcategory on whatever card.
I was going to say, becausehistory

SPEAKER_02 (26:52):
would be like brown.
I

SPEAKER_00 (26:54):
think history was brown.
Yeah.
Or science was brown.
And I would

SPEAKER_02 (26:57):
think pink would be like arts and leisure.

SPEAKER_00 (26:59):
I don't even.

SPEAKER_02 (27:01):
But you know what I mean?
Yeah.
There's a color for everything.

SPEAKER_00 (27:04):
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Green was probably science orsomething.

SPEAKER_02 (27:07):
Exactly.
It's like chicken every year.
Go.
Go.
All right.
My next game.
We can keep it together.

SPEAKER_00 (27:21):
So, yeah.
Trivial Pursuit.
Yeah.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (27:23):
Okay, so you probably have this one.
Operation.

SPEAKER_00 (27:31):
Operation is on my do not like list.

SPEAKER_02 (27:34):
Operation.
You're the doctor, got thepatient on the run.
Operation.
No?

SPEAKER_00 (27:41):
Yeah.
It scared me.
It scared me as a child.

SPEAKER_02 (27:46):
It didn't scare me.
1965.

SPEAKER_00 (27:48):
It made me want to

SPEAKER_02 (27:50):
put my fist...
through a wall

SPEAKER_00 (27:53):
I could see that

SPEAKER_02 (27:53):
because I would like I'd want to get the little
freaking wishbone out

SPEAKER_00 (27:58):
yeah

SPEAKER_02 (27:59):
and you'd hit it

SPEAKER_00 (28:01):
so our commercial was operation operation oh
really yeah it was different

SPEAKER_02 (28:09):
not

SPEAKER_00 (28:10):
operation no yeah that's why I said I was like
water on the knee operationsomething oh really yeah
Interesting.

SPEAKER_02 (28:22):
Remember the rubber band?

SPEAKER_00 (28:24):
I don't.
I played that game in New Jerseyat my grandparents' house when I
spent a week with them.
I hated it.
It's ironic that I electrocutedmyself today.
Yeah, that is.

SPEAKER_02 (28:33):
That is.

SPEAKER_00 (28:34):
That is why I hate it.
I think it just scared me.
I didn't like the idea of it.

SPEAKER_02 (28:39):
See, like you would do and get scared and I would do
and get pissed.
Understandable.
And I'd want to like flip

SPEAKER_00 (28:48):
it.
Yeah.
Flip it good.
Operation.
Yeah, good one.
1965.
They have all kinds ofOperation, though.
Different

SPEAKER_02 (29:01):
people.
Yeah, I think I saw a Shrek one.

SPEAKER_00 (29:03):
Yeah, that makes sense.
We should have gotten one ofthese games to play.

SPEAKER_02 (29:07):
I know.

SPEAKER_00 (29:08):
Let's get Operation.

SPEAKER_02 (29:09):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (29:09):
I'll pick it up.

SPEAKER_02 (29:12):
I was going to say I have it, but I don't anymore.
What's

SPEAKER_00 (29:15):
next?
I'll do another one from my likelist.
Chutes and Ladders was a big oneof mine when I was little.

SPEAKER_02 (29:22):
So I didn't put that one down because it was almost
like a given.

SPEAKER_00 (29:27):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (29:27):
I really enjoyed Chutes and Ladders.

SPEAKER_00 (29:29):
I guess it was Snakes and Ladders originally.
Used to be, yeah.
1943 it was created.
And I feel

SPEAKER_02 (29:33):
like every single time we played it, my mother
would say, you know this used tobe called Snakes and Ladders.

UNKNOWN (29:41):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (29:41):
It was a great game.
It was a great

SPEAKER_00 (29:43):
game.
Game of chance.

SPEAKER_02 (29:43):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (29:44):
I like that you could be launched ahead or

SPEAKER_02 (29:46):
launched...
You weren't good at it.
You weren't bad at it.
Exactly.
You just played it.
Game of luck.
Yeah, good game.
And do you equate that with...

SPEAKER_00 (29:55):
Candyland?

SPEAKER_02 (29:56):
Yeah.
No.
Then why'd you just fucking say

SPEAKER_00 (29:59):
it?
Because I knew...
So...
You can go fuck yourself.

SPEAKER_02 (30:02):
You totally just said

SPEAKER_00 (30:04):
it.
Do you want to know why?
Because I just started playingCandyland with my kid, and I was
like, I thought it was going tobe the same...
Pretty much the same game, and Iwas really excited.
I was like, this is bullshit.
Yeah,

SPEAKER_02 (30:15):
but you put them together.
I'm not saying they're the samegame.
Yeah,

SPEAKER_00 (30:21):
I guess.
Oh, yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
I don't like Candyland.
I thought I would like it more.
It's for three-year-olds.
I don't know what I wasexpecting.
I don't know.
When you get the

SPEAKER_02 (30:33):
double jelly bean, it's a good

SPEAKER_00 (30:35):
day.
Well, there's only two spots tojump ahead of.
As opposed to, and none of themdrop you back.
Oh, wait, do they?
Oh, yeah, they can drop youback.
Yeah, I guess I don't mind.
No, forget it.
You already told us.
Yeah, fuck that game.
And I got to pretend to lose.
Oh, I know it.

(30:56):
I know it.
And I'm not that dad where I'mlike, no, he can't lose.
Yeah.
Every time we play, I end up so,like, for some reason, I end up
just launching ahead.
Light years ahead.
You get those candy cards, andyou end up, and I'm like, crap,
I can't do that because I'mgoing to win.
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (31:12):
And then he's, like, just not going to want to play.

SPEAKER_00 (31:14):
Well, that's the thing.
I

SPEAKER_02 (31:15):
know.

SPEAKER_00 (31:15):
And then he wins.
He's not a dick about it yet, sothat's good.
He'll get there.

SPEAKER_02 (31:20):
So I will say next.
I'm going to say probably I feelabout this game kind of like how
you did with Operation becauseit would hunger hip up.

SPEAKER_00 (31:35):
It was so loud.
Yeah.
Do you know they have like ahuge one now that you sit on?
Like at the arcade?
At the arcade, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (31:43):
Oh, really?
Dave and Buster's has it.
I love at school, the kids playa game in phys ed where it's
like they...
Oh,

SPEAKER_00 (31:50):
with the basket and they move each other or
whatever?
Yes,

SPEAKER_02 (31:52):
and one rolls them by the feet on the slider thing.
Yes.
I always loved that.
That's awesome.
But it was just so loud.
Yeah.
And the...
I always felt like I had somestrategy, like, wait,

SPEAKER_00 (32:13):
go.
Yeah, I was definitely trying tocatch them, not just the one kid
just mashing it.

SPEAKER_02 (32:20):
Yeah, and I think it was just so loud.

SPEAKER_00 (32:23):
I don't think it worked.
So I will relate another game tothat, and this is probably my
favorite of my favorite games,Crossfire.
Okay.
Oh my gosh.
You'll get caught up in

SPEAKER_02 (32:36):
the crossfire.
So it's funny you said that.
Because I was watchingcommercials and one of them
said, everyone knows Crossfirefrom the 90s.
And if you didn't play it, youjust pretended you did because
you wanted to be cool.
I never played it.

(32:57):
I never played

SPEAKER_00 (32:59):
it.
They went hard for thatcommercial.
Yeah.
It actually wasn't that fun of agame.
No?
No,

SPEAKER_02 (33:05):
it was cool.
It kind of seemed like

SPEAKER_00 (33:07):
Beyblade.
That's actually, I don't knowwhat a Beyblade is, but that's
kind of what I thought.

SPEAKER_02 (33:14):
Yeah?

SPEAKER_00 (33:14):
I kind of figured Beyblade is something like
Crossfire from, you know what Imean?
Where

SPEAKER_02 (33:18):
they're like little pieces and they're like spun and
they knock.

SPEAKER_00 (33:20):
Yeah, there was one that looked like a little saw
blade almost.
Yes.
On like a ball bearing, and thenthere was a triangle on a ball
bearing.
Okay.
Or like on a wheel, yeah, on aball bearing where it's going
any direction.

UNKNOWN (33:30):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (33:30):
And then you would take these little smaller ball
bearings, put them in thislittle gun, and just like shoot
it.
By shoot it, I mean like...
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, just like sprung them out.

SPEAKER_02 (33:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (33:42):
And you would try to get the two shapes, the saw
blade and the triangle, into theother person's side.

SPEAKER_02 (33:49):
Oh, by hitting the little ball bearings against

SPEAKER_00 (33:52):
it.
Yeah, so you would like, you'dgrab them as you played and like
drop them into the top of thegun.
It got hit in the

SPEAKER_02 (33:57):
crossfire.

SPEAKER_00 (33:58):
You'll get caught up in the...
Crossfire.
Oh, okay.
But yeah, the commercial madeeverybody want it.
My friend Kevin, again, that waslike...

SPEAKER_02 (34:08):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (34:09):
He had that game.
So Kevin was a game fan.
Yeah, they had the game...
But yeah, they had like everygame and a lot of video games
too.
Yeah.
Well, I

SPEAKER_02 (34:17):
never

SPEAKER_00 (34:17):
played it.
But the...
Oh, it was...
Yeah, it was good.
It's a good one.
Good game.
Good game.
I mean, also, I was 10 when itcame out.
When it was big, like...

SPEAKER_02 (34:29):
So that's

SPEAKER_00 (34:30):
the perfect age.
Yeah, I was the one who wasgeared towards.
Something I did learn for ourlisteners, it was invented in
1971, Crossfire, which blew mymind of all these.
I was like, holy crap.
94 is when Milton Bradleyedition came out, and that's
when they dropped that banger onus and brought the commercial,

(34:51):
and everybody

SPEAKER_02 (34:51):
was like, we need

SPEAKER_00 (34:52):
it.

UNKNOWN (34:53):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (34:53):
Okay,

SPEAKER_00 (34:54):
okay.
It looked a lot more fast-pacedthan it was.
I'll put it that

SPEAKER_02 (34:57):
way.
Oh, gotcha.

SPEAKER_00 (34:58):
But it was a fun game.
I would play it today.

SPEAKER_02 (35:02):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (35:03):
It's good enough.

SPEAKER_02 (35:04):
Well, I mean, it sounds kind of cool.
I'd like to give it a shot.

SPEAKER_00 (35:09):
Fun intended.
All right, what's your next one?

SPEAKER_02 (35:14):
All right, so this was not a board game.
I mean, it was a board.
It had a board.
It would scare the shit out ofme.
And my mom wouldn't let me ownit.

SPEAKER_00 (35:25):
Can I say what I think it is?

SPEAKER_02 (35:26):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (35:27):
Perfection?

SPEAKER_02 (35:28):
No.
Oh, no?
But that, to me, is an anxietyattack in a

SPEAKER_00 (35:32):
bucket.
Well, that's on my hate list.
Oh, my God.
Because fuck that game.

SPEAKER_02 (35:35):
Fuck that game.

SPEAKER_00 (35:37):
They should have just called it fucking- Why

SPEAKER_02 (35:39):
not just-

SPEAKER_00 (35:40):
Be a bomb squad technician.
That's

SPEAKER_02 (35:43):
awful.

SPEAKER_00 (35:43):
Hated that game.

SPEAKER_02 (35:45):
I would be like, no! Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (35:48):
It had that stupid time where it was like.
Yes.
Oh.

SPEAKER_02 (35:51):
Yes.
And then you would like try so,and like I would freeze.

SPEAKER_00 (35:55):
Yeah.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (35:56):
No, it wasn't that.
Oh, fuck that game.
No, my mom didn't let me havethis game because I was a good
Catholic girl and she didn'twant me summoning demons.
It was a Ouija board?
It was a Ouija board.
Oh, yeah.
But it was at every sleepover.
In the 90s.
Yeah.

(36:17):
And that is how I became reallygood friends with Brett.
Of course.
What did we call her?

SPEAKER_00 (36:25):
Two bag Brett?
Two skins Brett.
Two skins.
Double skins Brett.
Double

SPEAKER_02 (36:30):
skins.
Double skins Brett.
So we were at a sleepover.
Somebody

SPEAKER_00 (36:35):
broke up at the Ouija board.
You ended up skinning a fuckingcat with her.

SPEAKER_02 (36:39):
Opposite.
We were so fucking scared thatwe hid behind the couch.
And in our goodie bags...

SPEAKER_00 (36:47):
Goodie bags at a sleepover?
Yeah.
What the...
In the fucking suburbia?

SPEAKER_02 (36:52):
Exactly.
In the colonial house.
And we had a little tinykeyboard.
And we sat and we played withthose because we were petrified.
And we were like...
I don't want to summon thedemons.

SPEAKER_00 (37:04):
No.
No, I wasn't allowed to playOuija either.

SPEAKER_02 (37:07):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (37:08):
For good reason, I guess.
Have you ever seen the video ofthe dad who's downstairs, his
daughter's having a sleepoverand he's hitting the breaker?
No.
He's turning the power on.
Oh my gosh, that's so funny.
Every time he flips the breaker,you can hear them all scream.

SPEAKER_02 (37:19):
Meanwhile, that's something Brett's dad would have
done.
Oh my gosh, that's so funny.
But it was like, it freaked meout.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (37:29):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (37:29):
Because like, It always moves so smoothly.
And

SPEAKER_00 (37:33):
everybody had the story of, like, they weren't
touching it.

SPEAKER_02 (37:35):
Yes.
I swear

SPEAKER_00 (37:37):
I wasn't touching it.
Somebody was touching

SPEAKER_02 (37:38):
it.
I know.
Light as a feather, stiff as aboard.
Did boys do that?

UNKNOWN (37:51):
No.
Oh, my God.

SPEAKER_00 (37:51):
No.
And Ouija's old, right?
That came out back...
Way back.

SPEAKER_02 (37:56):
Probably like Salem, which...
I was just going to say, like,created in Salem, Massachusetts.
Exactly.
All

SPEAKER_00 (38:02):
right.
Yeah, no, Ouija's not for me.

SPEAKER_02 (38:05):
So that was just a story.
I didn't...
I don't...
Maybe I did have it.
I don't know.
But my mom didn't want me tohave it.

SPEAKER_00 (38:12):
I'll tell you that much.
Understandable.
I'll tell you that much.
I think my cousin had it, and itwas like, stay away from it.
Yeah, don't do that.
Did you have...
There were two games that werekind of like the same.
They came in the same box, thesame company.
So I have written down Ants inthe Pants.
Do you remember that game?
And Cooties?

(38:32):
Oh, and Cooties.

SPEAKER_02 (38:33):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (38:33):
And Don't Break the Ice.
And Don't Spill the Beans.
Yeah, they were all the samecompany, like same box.
Yes.
Oh my God, that's so funny.
My kid has cooties, the game.
I love cooties.
The game.
Well, we don't play cootie.
He just puts them, he lovesputting them together.
He just put them together, yeah.
Don't break the ice.
Don't break the ice.
The

SPEAKER_02 (38:52):
girls and I played that a lot.

SPEAKER_00 (38:54):
Yeah.
He likes to just beat the shitout of them.
Yeah.
Just break them all.
Yeah,

SPEAKER_03 (39:01):
yeah,

SPEAKER_00 (39:02):
yeah.
But yeah, great game.
It's like a penguin now.
Remember it was like a guysitting?

SPEAKER_02 (39:06):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (39:07):
Now it's like a penguin.
I guess they didn't

SPEAKER_02 (39:09):
want to unalive him.

SPEAKER_00 (39:10):
Yeah.
But

SPEAKER_02 (39:11):
they'll unalive

SPEAKER_00 (39:12):
the penguin?
Well, penguins swim in

SPEAKER_02 (39:14):
that water.

SPEAKER_00 (39:17):
Oh, you're right.
Okay.
Nobody can see you roll youreyes at me.
Oh, my God.
Let's see how we can make Lesliea victim this fucking week.
Yeah, but ants in my pants.
It's in the pants.
I think so.
Yeah, it was like a pair ofplastic pants and you'd have
these plastic...
Ants.
Ants.
I guess we're more likegrasshoppers.

(39:39):
Yeah, I guess.
You'd like...
You'd hit the back of them,they'd jump, and you would just
try to get them in the pants.
And

SPEAKER_02 (39:44):
didn't the guy have big pants and suspenders?

SPEAKER_00 (39:47):
So the one I had, there was no character.
It was just the pants with thesuspenders.
So the suspenders would alwaysget in your way, which was
annoying.
I did read that there were laterversions or other versions where
it had a character.
Technically, that game isn't aboard game because there's no
board.

SPEAKER_02 (40:06):
Yeah, but I would...
Categorize it in there.

SPEAKER_00 (40:09):
Right.
Released in 1969 originally.
1986, it was purchased byHasbro.
I probably got it in like 1991.
Actually, I specificallyremember getting it from my grim
parents for Christmas.

SPEAKER_02 (40:23):
Oh, really?
Yeah.
What else you got?
All right, so...
Oh, I hope they're on my hatelist.
So, okay, so

SPEAKER_00 (40:31):
this...
That's all I got left, by theway.

SPEAKER_02 (40:33):
Okay, so I have some that have a couple stories.
I may mention them, I may not.
But I will tell you my game thatI loved.
And I still love this game.
And that's why I wouldn't readyou my text earlier from Kate,
because it was her favoritegame, too.
Okay.
And she said she's going tobring it to Rehoboth, and I

(40:53):
really hope she does.
Sorry.

SPEAKER_00 (40:57):
That is on my hate list.

SPEAKER_02 (40:59):
I pretty much thought it was going to be.

SPEAKER_00 (41:03):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (41:04):
Okay, but why?

SPEAKER_00 (41:05):
Because you could...
People could knock you.
It wasn't just you're playingversus.

SPEAKER_02 (41:12):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (41:12):
You could take somebody out.

SPEAKER_02 (41:13):
Yeah,

SPEAKER_00 (41:14):
you could.
And you could drop them back.
And that's what bothered me.
It wasn't just like who's doingthe best and who's getting the
furthest.
It was like not only that, butlike I can land on you and send
you back.
You always had to be on thelookout.

SPEAKER_02 (41:26):
So my big thing I liked about it was there was–
you had two things, right?
So you had, you had to get thepieces out of the circle.
You had like four pieces.
You had to get out of thecircle, but then each of those
pieces had to get to the end.

SPEAKER_03 (41:42):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (41:43):
And so some people would like play their one piece
the whole time.

SPEAKER_00 (41:47):
Yeah.
Or some people would like bringthem all

SPEAKER_02 (41:49):
out.
I would do the all out thingbecause I was like, no, because
same

SPEAKER_00 (41:55):
with trouble.
Yes.
You're right.
Same thing.

SPEAKER_02 (41:58):
How's Sorry different from Trouble?

SPEAKER_00 (42:01):
I don't think it really is.
I'm pretty sure it's the samegame.
It's just Trouble has

SPEAKER_02 (42:04):
the popper dice.

SPEAKER_00 (42:05):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (42:06):
Which is genius because you won't lose it.

SPEAKER_00 (42:09):
Yeah, it's fun getting into trouble.
Pop-o-matic trouble.
What was Sorry?
Cards?
Or dice?

SPEAKER_02 (42:18):
Dice.
And just the pieces with thelittle nub on the end.
Wide

SPEAKER_00 (42:25):
bottom.

UNKNOWN (42:26):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (42:26):
Baby got back.

SPEAKER_00 (42:27):
I was just thinking of a joke.

SPEAKER_02 (42:31):
Oh, my God.
Oh, man.

SPEAKER_00 (42:32):
Yeah.
No, sorry.
Sorry it was a game I played alot.
Yeah.
And actually, you could see itwas on my like list originally.
I do

SPEAKER_02 (42:39):
have it.

SPEAKER_00 (42:40):
But I moved it because I was really thinking
about it.
And I was like, no, I used toget so...
Again, I was a sore loser.

SPEAKER_02 (42:46):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (42:47):
As a kid.

SPEAKER_02 (42:49):
You know what?
You probably right in between meand you...
More sore losers came about.

SPEAKER_00 (43:01):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (43:01):
For me, it was like if you lost, you fucking lost.

SPEAKER_00 (43:03):
I was a sensitive kid.

SPEAKER_02 (43:05):
I was a sensitive kid.
It was almost like I felt guiltywinning games.
That hurts my feelings.
That's exactly right.

SPEAKER_00 (43:17):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (43:17):
I was a really sensitive kid.
Gotcha.

SPEAKER_00 (43:21):
Yeah, it's...
Yeah, I don't know why I becamea sore loser.
It was just the games, though.
Sports, I had no problem losing.

SPEAKER_02 (43:30):
That's really funny.

SPEAKER_00 (43:30):
Just games.
I'd get so

SPEAKER_02 (43:32):
mad.
I wouldn't be a sore loser.
It was almost like I wasrelieved because then I didn't
have to feel guilty that I wonthe game.
Yeah.
That's typical.

SPEAKER_00 (43:45):
Yeah.
Maybe mention that next week inyour session.
I will.
I will.
I just want to win.
Sorry.
Just once.
I just want to win friends.
I

SPEAKER_02 (43:58):
just want to win the game of life.

SPEAKER_00 (44:03):
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
It was a game.
Yeah.
Another one I hated.
Well, I'm just going to.
This is a throwaway, but Imentioned it in another episode.
But Mousetrap.

SPEAKER_02 (44:14):
Yes.
Never worry.
Well, I didn't even put it downbecause we had talked about

SPEAKER_00 (44:18):
it.
I jotted it down.
Came out in 1963.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That is crazy.
A lot of these games are like soold that I just never, I don't
know.
It's crazy how old they are.
Anyway, so I'll say Battleship.
I fucking hate Battleship.

SPEAKER_02 (44:35):
Really?
I liked Battleship.
Yeah?
I did.
I did.
What I did not like wasElectronic

SPEAKER_00 (44:46):
Battleship.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That noise would

SPEAKER_02 (44:49):
annoy me.
Oh my gosh, Stacey, do youremember this?
Some of our pegs had teethmarks.

SPEAKER_00 (44:58):
Because of the nerves?
I think so.
I'm a bad person.
I'm a bad guesser.
I feel like you'd kind of guesswhich direction the ship was
going.
Yes, but then did you use your

SPEAKER_02 (45:17):
strategies?
See, so that's why Gen, Gen is aphenomenal game.
She teaches her students like,okay, here's some different
strategies instead of just like,did you just willy-nilly, no pun
intended, just give acoordinate?

SPEAKER_00 (45:36):
No,

SPEAKER_02 (45:37):
man.

SPEAKER_00 (45:38):
No, and that's the thing.
I did use strategy.
I'd go one direction and theother direction and whatnot, but
I felt like the other personalways...
outwitted me or outguessed me.
Did you

SPEAKER_02 (45:50):
ever do things like sometimes I would put boats
right next to each other?

SPEAKER_00 (45:54):
Yeah, yeah.
Because then you would think,

SPEAKER_02 (45:56):
yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (45:57):
All right, what else

SPEAKER_02 (45:58):
you got?
So this one, I liked the idea ofit, but I wasn't very good at it
because I was young.
Mastermind.

SPEAKER_00 (46:09):
What was Mastermind?

SPEAKER_02 (46:12):
Mastermind, it was like, it's almost like Wordle.
Do you play Wordle?
I play Wordle every day.
So you would put your pegs intosome kind of sequence, like
let's say red, blue, blue,green, yellow.
And so then the person would tryto guess what your pattern was,

(46:35):
and then you would put pegssaying if it was in the right
spot or if...
I do have that color, but it'sin the wrong spot.

SPEAKER_00 (46:45):
Oh, that sounds like something I would either love or
hate.

SPEAKER_02 (46:48):
That's exactly right.
Like, probably, that'sdefinitely one of the games you
should probably pay attention tothe good for this age.

SPEAKER_00 (46:56):
Yeah.
Gotcha.
You

SPEAKER_02 (46:58):
know what I mean?
Because, like, I wanted to begood at it, but I wasn't really
that good at it.
But I loved the idea of thegame.

SPEAKER_00 (47:07):
I was recently thinking about, like, high
school math and, like, doing, doyou remember math proofs?

SPEAKER_03 (47:13):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (47:14):
And I hated them.
I had such a hard time because Ididn't pay attention.
I couldn't pay attention.
Welcome to my

SPEAKER_02 (47:21):
world.

SPEAKER_00 (47:22):
Now I think about what they actually were.
I think it's something I wouldlove as an adult.
Can I

SPEAKER_02 (47:28):
tell you how much I

SPEAKER_00 (47:29):
learned being a teacher?
I believe it.

SPEAKER_02 (47:32):
So many things where I was like, oh.

SPEAKER_00 (47:35):
Yeah.
I'm so mad at my 15-year-oldself because I'm like, dude.
That was actually fun.
You could have enjoyed that,like putting the pieces
together.
Yes, exactly.
But instead, you just didn't payattention because you felt
awkward in your own body.

SPEAKER_03 (47:49):
Yep.

SPEAKER_00 (47:51):
Stop crying, Will.
Never.
Yeah, man, if I could go backand do it again, I would have
been a rock star.
Oh, so funny.
By rock star, I mean goodstudent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So my last hate game, though, isMonopoly.
I hate Monopoly.
Oh, gosh.
I didn't even put

SPEAKER_02 (48:09):
it on.
Did you ever in your life?

SPEAKER_00 (48:12):
Finishing

SPEAKER_02 (48:12):
a Monopoly?
Nope.
Me neither.
Hate it.

SPEAKER_00 (48:15):
Hate everything about it.

SPEAKER_02 (48:16):
Yeah.
And there are some rules,though.
I forget when, but I was lookingat the rules and...
It seems like if you play therules to a T, it would end a lot
faster.

SPEAKER_00 (48:34):
There's that one rule that if you land on one of
your uncle's spaces, he gets totouch the inside of your thigh.
Did you guys?
No?

SPEAKER_02 (48:44):
No.
My uncles were more like, if youland on my space, you have to go
get me another beer.
I'm going to make a phone call.

UNKNOWN (48:50):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (48:54):
Oh, God, I can't stand it.
Inside of the thigh.
Oh, man.
No.
No.
Do you want me to take yousomewhere?

SPEAKER_00 (49:06):
Please.
Drop me off at a fire

SPEAKER_02 (49:09):
station?
Do you need

SPEAKER_00 (49:12):
a wooden nickel?
That was funny to me.
What a nickel.

SPEAKER_02 (49:18):
Oh, shit.
So when I was going through thelists, there was this one game.
It was called Crackers in MyBed.
Oh,

SPEAKER_00 (49:25):
I remember that

SPEAKER_02 (49:25):
game.
Do you?
Do you have a picture of it?
No, I don't.
Look it up, though.

SPEAKER_00 (49:29):
No, I think my sister had that one.
And Pizza Party, I feel like.
Oh, I heard of that one,

SPEAKER_02 (49:34):
but I had never heard of Crackers in My Bed, but
it made me laugh because when Imet.

SPEAKER_00 (49:39):
Because you thought of my wife?

SPEAKER_02 (49:41):
Eating crackers in her bed?

SPEAKER_00 (49:43):
Because she sleeps with a cracker in her bed.

SPEAKER_02 (49:46):
Because you're white.
No, yeah, that's the gist of it.
That's awesome.
No, my husband, actually, whenwe first met in college,
whenever he saw a hot girl, he'dbe like, I wouldn't kick her out
of bed for eating crackers.

(50:10):
He used to make me laugh.

SPEAKER_00 (50:11):
Was he like 78 when you did it?
Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 (50:15):
It was like we'd be there and you'd see some hot
girl.
I wouldn't kick her out of bedfor eating crackers.

SPEAKER_00 (50:20):
Oh, man.
That just unlocked a memory.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I think my sister had this one.

SPEAKER_02 (50:25):
I've never even heard of it before today.
So you know what?
So then I finally looked up whatcame out in the 90s, like what
was created in the 90s.
And the one...
that I talked about a lot, I doremember Dream Phone.
And I was not allowed to get it.
No?
No.
And it's not that I wasn'tallowed to.

(50:47):
It was more like, no, you knowit's not going to be good.
It's

SPEAKER_00 (50:52):
funny you mentioned Dream Phone because I really
thought like Maud Mandis wouldbe on your

SPEAKER_02 (50:57):
list.
Yep.
I put the two together in

SPEAKER_00 (51:00):
my head.
So I figured that would be onyour list.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (51:04):
No, but I didn't play that.
That was funny.
I think I would enjoy that game.
Who sings that, Jack Black?
Right?
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (51:23):
That's so funny.
So good.

SPEAKER_02 (51:25):
So maybe I should look up.
I bet you if you look up 90scommercial and I look up 80s
commercial, 80s Operationcommercial.

SPEAKER_00 (51:36):
I just remember, water on the knee, operation!
Have you ever played Don't WakeDaddy?

SPEAKER_02 (51:55):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (51:56):
It's actually a fun game.
It

SPEAKER_02 (51:57):
is a

SPEAKER_00 (51:57):
fun game.
See?
So...
Leslie and I both just showedeach other the commercials for
Operation from our generation.
And I think it very much sums upthe generation gap.
Like I got a little

SPEAKER_02 (52:11):
bit angry that you didn't know Operation.
Yeah.
You're the doctor, got thepatient on the

SPEAKER_00 (52:17):
run.
But I think it's like mine wassuch a, I think mine said 94.
Yeah.
Which apparently was a big yearfor games from what I'm seeing.
I don't

SPEAKER_02 (52:25):
know.
I was a senior in high school.
That's true.

SPEAKER_00 (52:29):
Well, and that's why I said I really feel like you
probably babysat some kids whowere playing the games that I
was playing.
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (52:36):
The one I was waiting for you to say, Hi Ho
Cheerio.
Do you remember that one?
It has the little cherries inthe trees.

SPEAKER_00 (52:44):
I was picturing cherries, and I can't figure out
why.

SPEAKER_02 (52:48):
And I remember playing that while I was
babysitting.
And I was thinking, I was like,oh, I bet you Will has that on
his list.

SPEAKER_00 (52:55):
I don't.
Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (53:01):
Cheerio

SPEAKER_00 (53:02):
or Cheerio?
Cheerio.

SPEAKER_02 (53:05):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (53:06):
What?
eBay.
Vintage 1999.
Oh,

SPEAKER_02 (53:11):
my God.

SPEAKER_00 (53:12):
That hurts me.

SPEAKER_02 (53:13):
That's

SPEAKER_00 (53:14):
insane.
Vintage 1999.
Vintage.
That game's from the 1900s.

SPEAKER_02 (53:20):
Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 (53:22):
Oh, my goodness.
But it was also around in 92,there's a version.
So it was, yeah, it was aroundwhen I was, I feel like this was
in one of my classrooms, but wenever played it when I was
younger.
Wait, which one?
Like, I feel, Hi-Ho Cheerio, Ifeel like that was, like, one of
the games on the shelves in theclassroom.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (53:43):
I love that we have our own

SPEAKER_00 (53:44):
Operation commercial.

UNKNOWN (53:45):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (53:46):
That's

SPEAKER_00 (53:47):
nice.
It is really cool.
It really separates us.

SPEAKER_03 (53:51):
Apparition.

SPEAKER_00 (53:53):
I feel like we have, we should do an episode where
it's the same product, differentcommercials.

SPEAKER_01 (54:02):
Ooh, yes.

SPEAKER_00 (54:05):
I think that'd be really good.

SPEAKER_01 (54:07):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (54:08):
Yeah, we'll have to, I mean, that's going to take a
little bit of communication,research.
So that's it.
That's the list of games.
That is

SPEAKER_02 (54:18):
episode

SPEAKER_00 (54:18):
10.
Episode 10.

SPEAKER_02 (54:20):
I'm

SPEAKER_00 (54:20):
excited.
We did board games.
As I say in every episode, itwas a little all over the place.

SPEAKER_02 (54:26):
No, it's just us.

SPEAKER_00 (54:28):
Yeah.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Those were our lists.
If you have games that you thinkof that weren't on the list,
shoot us an email.

SPEAKER_02 (54:35):
Let us know.
Or if you were like waiting,like, oh, I can't wait till they
talk about this game and wedidn't even mention it.

SPEAKER_00 (54:41):
Yeah.
If you think of any games wedidn't mention or...
Remember them differently thanwe remembered.
Let us know.
Either way, I hope you enjoyedthe episode.
It was a trip down memory lane,as they all are.

SPEAKER_03 (54:55):
Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 (54:56):
And the memory lane of the greatest decade to exist.
I have...

SPEAKER_02 (55:01):
Oops, sorry.
I got PTSD because you flipped aboard game over.
Oh.
Sent the pieces flying.
Many of times.

SPEAKER_00 (55:09):
Matt.
Monopoly.

SPEAKER_02 (55:13):
Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 (55:14):
Game ain't over till the board is flipped.
Yeah.
Do you have any shout outs you'dlike to give?
I have a couple of local things.
Please tell.
For our local listeners.
You

SPEAKER_02 (55:30):
can start.

SPEAKER_00 (55:30):
I can start, okay.
Anybody in the Hudson Valleyarea or Dutchess County more
specifically, but Hudson Valleyarea?
Wappingers Falls, I went to aplace called Retro Bites

SPEAKER_02 (55:43):
the other day.
Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_00 (55:44):
I texted you about it.

SPEAKER_02 (55:45):
Yes, and I thought it was like a tchotchke store.

SPEAKER_00 (55:48):
Yeah, it's a little like restaurant spot.

SPEAKER_02 (55:53):
That's

SPEAKER_00 (55:53):
cool.

SPEAKER_02 (55:54):
Was the food

SPEAKER_00 (55:55):
retro themed?
The food's like, it's like,Burgers.
I was just

SPEAKER_02 (55:59):
going to say you eat

SPEAKER_00 (56:00):
like a

SPEAKER_02 (56:00):
burger.

SPEAKER_00 (56:01):
Yeah, it's like burgers, chicken sandwiches,
like bar food kind of thing.
It's not a bar, but it's likethat kind of food.
They have a halal menu, which iscool.
They have like milkshakes, stufflike that.
It's a pretty cool place.
The food was solid.
But what makes it retro?
So they have...
At each table you sit at, youcan play video games.

(56:22):
You can either sit there andeat.
My wife and I were getting foodto take out, but we were still
messing with the video games.
And I'll post them on our site.
We can post them on Instagram orwhatever.
On IG.
I hope they don't mind.
But you can play video gameswhile you sit there and eat or
while you're waiting for yourfood.
They were very encouraging tojust play the games while you're
waiting.
That's pretty cool.
