Games reveal who we truly are. In this lively, sometimes heated conversation with guests Matt Landowski and Tony Bogan, we explore the classic pastimes that define our social gatherings and family reunions.
The humble board game sparks surprising passion as we debate the merits of simplicity versus strategy. Matt champions tic-tac-toe for its accessibility and Tony confesses his complicated relationship with Monopoly—a game that simultaneously tops his "favorite" and "most hated" lists. We explore how these tabletop classics have evolved over generations, with Monopoly's marketing genius creating everything from NFL editions to electronic banking versions.
When the conversation shifts outdoors, volleyball emerges as the unexpected star. Our guests share stories of intense backyard matches complete with celebratory spikes, trash talk, and the occasional bloody nose. The unanimous preference for beach over grass volleyball (despite finding sand in unexpected places months later) reveals how we're willing to sacrifice comfort for the perfect playing experience.
Card games provide some of the episode's most revealing moments, especially when discussing Cards Against Humanity's ability to transform gatherings. The shocking revelation about Uno potentially becoming a Vegas casino game prompts predictions of heated confrontations on the gaming floor—highlighting how even the simplest games can ignite our competitive spirits.
Whether you're a strategic chess player, a casual cornhole enthusiast, or someone who's flipped a Monopoly board in frustration, this episode celebrates the universal truth that games don't just fill time—they reveal character, create memories, and sometimes even test relationships. Join us for laughs, revelations, and perhaps a new appreciation for the games that bring us together.

And Lando, we're going to startwith you, hey everyone.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
This is Matt Landowski.
Here I'm going to saystrawberry margarita with a
little cheddar cheese on myburger.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Cheddar cheese on my burger.
Haven't had him on a while buthe's been a staple of the
roundtables here, but Tony.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hey guys, my name's Tony Bogan I, as far as
margaritas goes, my favoriteflavor, I know Matt took
strawberries, so I'm going to goagave and then I'm going to
have, as far as burgers goes,mozzarella.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Mozzarella.
That's not bad for a burger.
I'm more of just a limemargarita guy.
You know, just don't give me, Idon't need anything flashy.
Give me a lime margarita Ifit's frozen, even better.
Just don't give me.
I don't need anything flashy.
Give me a lime margarita Ifit's frozen, even better.
And cheese, I mean, you can'tgo wrong with cheese on a
cheeseburger, but I'm a bigPepper Jack kind of guy on a
burger.
Give that a little bit of kickthere to the burger.
(01:34):
Can't go wrong with that at all.
But we're not here to talk aboutfood and margaritas, even
though I could talk about thatall day.
We're going talk about that allday.
We're gonna talk about allthings board games and outdoor
games and lando.
Let's start with you.
What's your favorite board gameto play?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
board game.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I'm gonna go with tic-tac-toe, tic-tac-toe wow,
real old school with tic-tac-toe, but that way, I keep it simple
man play it anywhere.
You can draw that up anywherelike you don't.
Actually, it's a cheap game.
Man Need a pencil and somepaper.
I don't have to.
I don't even need paper, justsomething to write on.
Tony, what about you?
(02:13):
Board games?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Board games oh man, A Monopoly, Monopoly man, it's
Monopoly.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's an eight-hour game right there alone and it'll
break up a family for sure.
Solid options on that one.
Tic-tac-toe I didn't even thinkof tic-tac-toe as a board game
For me.
I was a big chutes and laddersguy growing up back in the day.
(02:43):
Monopoly's not bad.
I just don't have that kind oftime to stay in on a game that
always ends with somebodyflipping a table in my family
and getting upset.
So I'd have to say shoots andladders.
That was a big one for me, tony.
For you, the best outdoor gamewould that be cornhole lawn,
(03:08):
bocce or horseshoes.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Cornhole, Cornhole.
Okay, I've never played bocceball before, or horseshoes, so
I'm going to go with the defaultanswer cornhole.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
They're all kind of you know this question.
You know all of these gameshave the same mentality,
basically just in differentformats.
Horseshoes and bocce arebasically the same game.
Uh once just played with uhballs and the other ones played
with, you know, the horseshoesand the poles and sticks and
that and then cornhole.
I mean it's kind of the samesame concept of the game.
(03:43):
But l what about you withoutdoor games?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm going to go with bocce.
I was actually in a boccetournament a couple weeks ago.
Nice Funny.
You say that we lost firstround, but it was a blast man, I
really enjoyed it.
Yeah, I'm going to go withbocce on that one though.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah bocce, I one, though.
Yeah bocce, I gotta go bocceand stick with my italian roots
on that one.
Bocce bob a big cornhole guytoo, but can't go wrong with
bocce.
We used to back in college.
We the the fraternity house Iwas in, was up on a hill and we
would call it extreme boccebecause we had no idea where
those balls were gonna go,rolling down the hill and
everything like that and thentrying to throw it uphill.
So we called it extreme bocceis how we played it.
(04:28):
We made our own game out of it,but you're definitely going to
go bocce ball for me on that one, ready.
Okay, now, lando, if you'replaying one of these games here,
this is pretty all day writtenall over it.
Which one are you picking?
Is it checkers or is it chess?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, I'm going to go with checkers.
I'm a simple guy that chess is.
I don't know all the rules.
I'm going to be dead honestwith you right now.
I played one time in fifthgrade and got my ass whooped.
I've really never been backsince.
Maybe one day in the future,We'll see.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
We'll see if we can't get you to play some chess.
Yeah, I've played chess.
I used to have an all-glasschess set growing up.
I like it.
It's a very complex game.
But yeah, checkers, I mean,there's something nostalgic
about checkers for me andplaying that.
(05:35):
I don't know, that's a, that'sa coin flip for me, because I
played a lot of chess growing up.
Me and my buddies would playall the time.
But yeah, it's, it's, it's,it's, it's.
It's a complex game, I'll giveyou that.
And you know I don't win a lotwhen I play it.
You know I'm not that tacticalabout it.
I don't really care that much,obviously, um, but uh, tony,
(05:56):
what about you checkers or chess?
I'm going with checkers,checkers, yeah, so I mean
checkers, I mean when you canplay it at aacker Barrel and
they have the big game sittingout right there with the big
things.
I mean you really can't gowrong with that.
You get some good food, you getto play some little bit of
checkers while you're waitingfor it.
I mean you can't go wrong withcheckers, it's fun for everybody
, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Chess causes me to think too much.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Not trying to overstimulate and think too much
.
I get it, but Tony, do youthink badminton is harder to
play than volleyball?
For an outdoor game?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I'd say it's about the same.
Honestly, I know with badmintonyou got a little birdie there,
but badminton can be just asintense, if not more intense
than volleyball.
So I'd say it's about the same.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, that's a good one there.
What about you, Lando?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Volleyball.
Volleyball is pretty dangintense, man.
It gets real intense.
Yeah, some backyard volleyballman.
Somebody might you know leavewith a cup of the bloody nose,
or Somebody might you know leavewith a cup of the bloody nose,
or something.
Man you know?
You know how Volleyball?
I think of that.
What's that movie, meet theParents, where Ben Stiller comes
(07:14):
up and just spikes the ball?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
right, oh, no Like, if I spike somebody, I'm doing a
celebration on them.
I don't care who it is, I'lleither hit them with the too
small or strapped in.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
See, I'm just so competitive is the problem with
me?
I mean badminton, that birdie,that kid I don't know what it is
with the hand-eye coordinationwith me I can never hit that
damn thing.
But volleyball, you bet yourass I'm playing for.
Keeps back home for the 4th ofJuly at this bar that's on the
(07:53):
river.
It's changed names so manytimes.
I think it's called the CrookedDock.
Now they have a beachvolleyball court right out back
on their patio area.
They have big tournaments every4th of July.
People train year-round forthis tournament on their patio
area.
They have big tournaments every4th of July.
People train year-round forthis tournament.
It's supposed to be somethingfun.
4th of July festivities yay,we're all out having fun.
(08:14):
People just go ham for thistournament.
It's intense.
We had a water volleyball backin college as a Greek week event
.
And, tony, I'm with you.
I'm celebrating.
I'm that showboat.
(08:34):
I don't care if I'm spiking iton you.
You know something's coming.
I'm going to be hitting youwith something.
I'm pumping my chest.
I'm.
You know I'm.
It doesn't matter that that'sjust me.
I'm very competitive and I talka lot of shit when I play
anything at any game.
I don't care what it is it, canit give me tic-tac-toe and I'll
(08:56):
you know I'm just a shit talker, that's it's just my high
school play.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
If my high school had a boys volleyball team, I would
have have played for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's actually getting more popular now around the
United States, I think, withhigh school and stuff A lot more
schools have a male volleyballand all boys volleyball program
too as well, which I think isgood for the sport in general.
You don't see it a lot, butit's definitely growing.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Those beach volleyball players are badass
man.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
They are unbelievable athletes, you're running around
hot sand all day.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Covered in sand.
It's tough to walk in sand, letalone running around and and
trying to be coordinated enoughto play uh, play some volleyball
.
Yeah, I give beach volleyballplayers all the credit in the
world just for the the conditionthat they have to be to be able
to play that sport.
I, yeah, I would have to givethe edge to volleyball on that
(10:04):
one, just because of the sheerathleticism that you're going to
need to play, especially ifyou're getting to beach
volleyball.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It's one of the only sports I was actually ever
really good at.
I follow football, baseball andbasketball, but volleyball is
where it's at for me.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Hey, everybody has their niche.
I was a swimmer man, so I getit.
You know what I mean.
Everyone has their sport.
I played football, baseball,basketball.
People are shocked when they'rejust like how are you not good
at basketball?
You're 6'5", how are you notgood at basketball?
I'm just not.
I don't know how else to saythis, other than I'm just not.
(10:43):
There's just I don't know what,how else to say this, other
than I'm just that stereotypicalwhite guy Like I can't.
I can't jump, I'm pretty slow.
Uh, I tried out for my eighthgrade basketball team and
literally the coach told me theonly reason he was keeping me on
was to block shots and getrebounds.
He didn't care if I ended theseason with zero points.
(11:03):
All he wanted me to do wasblock shots and get rebounds.
That was it.
I knew my role and I executedflawlessly In a 10-game season,
making it to the championship.
I finished with 11 total points, 118 blocks and 100 rebounds.
(11:25):
Wow, that's unbelievable manOut out of almost every game I
played.
I just knew my role.
I wasn't there to be flashy.
I was getting the board and Iwas just tossing it to somebody
else.
There was no keeping the ballfor me and dunk either.
I could dunk uh that teed up inthe uh in the semifinals,
(11:48):
because back then in eighthgrade you weren't allowed to
dunk.
It was and it was in thesemifinals and I had a breakaway
and I I saw my opportunity, Itook it.
I two hand threw it down andgot teed up and then got benched
for the rest of the game.
We're getting teed up.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Did you never head tap anyone?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Never head tap anyone .
Speaker 1 (12:09):
All the time.
Man, Dude, I was a menace.
If you can't, I was chasingpeople down.
I was pitting stuff against theboards.
That was.
My job was to block shots.
I was the no.
No, no, that was my job was toblock shots.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I was the Dikembe.
No, no, no, that was me.
No, I was.
I've been hitting the two short.
If I get a board and I lay itup over you, I'm hitting either
the two short or I'm hitting thehead tap.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I get it, tony, back to board games here.
What board game do you?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
hate to play man, also Monopoly, also Monopoly,
because it takes forever.
I don't like to lose atMonopoly.
I think I had at one point, Ithink I had a big lead or
something.
I ended up blowing it andlosing one year.
Oh, shit.
I love Monopoly and hate it atthe same time.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I love hate game.
I think, lando.
What about you A board game youhate to play?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Hate.
I honestly haven't played boardgames since I've been a kid,
except for Yahtzee.
I play a little Yahtzee with mygirlfriend every once in a
while.
I call it like a date night orsomething.
We'll play a little Yahtzee, orcards or something.
I really don't hate any games.
(13:36):
I don't think that's a toughone for me.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I don't know that I have to.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
What's a game that would take a while, like I can't
think of one that's on my head,but that would probably
irritate me the most Because I'mjust, you know, play for a
little bit, get it done, youknow.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
If there's any of them, I'd have to say Monaco.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, I remember playing that as a kid.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I didn't have enough attention span for that one.
I definitely don't have theattention span for Monopoly.
I don't hate any games, butyeah, Monopoly, it just takes
too damn long for me.
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I'll tell you what they marketed.
They marketed the hell out ofit.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Absolutely Like you see it.
So much with the McDonald'spromos.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yep, there's so many different versions of this damn
game.
Like I remember, even back incollege, a girl I was dating at
the time she had a Monopolywhere they gave you debit cards.
What, yeah, you had a debitcard, they didn't give you cash.
(14:51):
You had a debit card that youhad to swipe the, the purchase
shit like and all yourproperties, and that I was like
this is intense.
And then all the spinoffs wherethere's a different theme for
every every day.
They had the nfl monopoly whereyou're basically buying
franchises and stuff like that.
I mean it just, whoeverinvented this game is a
marketing genius for sure, butyeah, it just it takes too damn
(15:13):
long for me.
All right, lando, if someone ishaving a cookout, what is the
one outdoor game they have toplay with their guests?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
oh uh, I have two and I'm gonna get.
Well, my first one's alwayscornhole.
You gotta have the cornhole,right, oh yeah?
But um, I'm gonna go with canjam, also tangent.
Can jam, your plate, can jam,can Jam, can Jam you ever play?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Can Jam, I've never heard of it, I have.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I play Can Jam.
Yeah, it's like a can on eachside and there's probably like
so many feet in between Twoteams one on each side and then
you got to throw the Frisbeeinto the little slot in the can
or you got to put it in the topof the can.
Okay, but it's fun, man.
Man, it's a blast.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It sounds like it's gonna start out fun and then
that's gonna get real intense,real quick.
Yes, and that's.
There's no denying that.
Like I, I'll take that to mygrave.
I never played the game first.
I'm hearing about it, but likethat sounds like, yeah, we're
gonna start out, it's gonna befun, and then the competition's
(16:27):
gonna get heated up and thenit's just gonna end and get
heated real quick.
Uh, but, tony, what about yougoing to a cookout?
What's one game they have tohave for the guests?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
oh uh.
One game that's played wheneverI've been at a cookout and I am
not good at this game Spades.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Spades.
We're going with card games.
Okay yeah, cookouts, I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
And also Cards Against Humanity too.
That's something I can't play.
Cards Against Humanity you hate.
Is that what you said?
No, I like Cards.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Against Humanity.
Okay, that's good.
That's literally leading us tothe next thing I was going to
talk about was cards againsthumanity.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
uh, but um that's a wild game right there it's just
not for the faint of heart.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We're, we're gonna, we're gonna dive into this here
in a minute here.
But, like you know, for me fromcookouts if I even have one,
you know what I obviously havethe cornhole set up.
Um, I need to get, uh, a bocceset to have that for me.
Uh, growing up, we've always,you know, growing up in an
italian family, we've alwaysplayed bocce.
Um, for me, you know, I mean,hillbilly horseshoes is one of
(17:42):
those fun games.
It's kind of where you havelike the two golf balls that are
attached to the string and youhave the PVC pipe and there's
three different rungs.
Each rung is a different point.
If you hook the balls on there.
That's one for me.
I mean, I'd have to say 4-0would have to be set up for any
cookout that I'm going to.
(18:03):
Never really thought about cards, though for cookouts, but I
guess every family function Ihave is cookouts at my parents'
house now and we're alwaysending up playing cards, somehow
, somehow, someway.
We're always playing cards.
But, tony, since you brought itupards Against Humanity, you
(18:25):
kind of mentioned it there.
You know, yay or nay on CardsAgainst Humanity yay, of course.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yay for Cards Against Humanity yeah, lando.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
What about you?
Is that a yay or nay on CardsAgainst Humanity?
yay, you guys get some goodlaughs there you do hell right
after, like even in college andright after we made a drinking
game out of Yay, go ahead andget some good laughs there.
You do Even in college andright after we made a drinking
game out of Cards AgainstHumanity.
It's a fun game to play.
When you start adding alcoholand booze to it, it gets weird
(18:58):
real quick.
Some of the stuff that happens.
It's one of those games that ifyou're not laughing and having
a good time while you're playingthat game, like there's
something wrong with you, in myopinion, like it's just one of
those games that just has to.
Like it puts a smile oneverybody's face.
And again, like Monopolywhoever came up with this game
(19:24):
there?
Monopoly, whoever came up withthis game.
There's so many spin-offs onthis game and it's a marketing
genius for a card game and Idon't know I haven't played it
in a while.
Might have to try to find mycard to get to man of the Set
and break that out, because Ifeel like that's just a fun
night for me now and as acomedian, it gives me material
(19:47):
when you're thinking about thatstuff too as well.
But card games for me issomething I like to do.
I'm a big Euchre guy.
Either you two play Dabble inany Euchre.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I've heard of it.
I never really got a chance toplay it, though, but okay tony,
what about you euchre guy?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
uh, I've played euchre.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's something I'm not good at either and we my
wife and I will throw down oneuchre.
We, we play for keeps when itcomes to euchre.
We, we love that game.
It's so much fun.
It's kind of like spades in ina way, um, but yeah, I've, we've
always been big euchre players,uh, for us, and I feel like
(20:33):
we've we've talked about this alot here, so we'll make this one
real quick here, and I think Iknow where you're going with
this one, tony, but monopolyoverrated or underrated.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I would have to say that it's honestly underrated,
believe it or not.
That's why Monopoly bias didn'twork, though.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Lando.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Oh yeah, I'm going to say, I'm going to say I really
don't have an opinion On itbecause I never really Played
too long Of a game with Monopoly.
I always called it quits, youknow the kid and stuff.
It was just too long of a gameand my attention span wasn't
there for that.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So I'm going overrated on this just because
of the sheer length of this game.
I mean, I'm pretty sure I havea game on pause from back when I
was a kid, that you know.
It's just one of those gamesthat just never ends, it seems
like.
But, Lando, is beach or grassvolleyball better for an outdoor
game?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh, beach for sure, brother, beach for sure, yeah,
all right.
No beach for sure, brotherBeach for sure, yeah, all right.
No doubt there, man.
I mean, if I have the choice,I'm going to the beach, brother.
You know what I mean Getting inthe sand diving around all that
good stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I'm not mad at that answer at all, lando at all.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And I tell you what man?
Sand doesn't hurt as much asgrass and dirt man.
Yeah, sand's got a lot morecushion to it.
I know I'm diving out there,there's no doubt about it, Tony.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
what about you?
Beach or grass?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Sand for sure, because you can dive, it doesn't
hurt as much, although I didkind of hurt myself a little bit
diving in a sand game, but Iwas okay, toughed it out and my
team ended up winning.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
so the only thing I would you know advocate for for
grass is you're not covered insand For like three to five
Business days After a beach.
You still find sand In you, nomatter where you're at it, just
After being in the beach andanywhere that.
(22:54):
But yeah, I've definitely Go tobeach volleyball For sure.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I've had times that Went months and somehow Still
found sand.
Yeah, yeah, I've definitelygone beach volleyball, for sure.
I've had times that I wentmonths and somehow still found
sand.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, sand is just sand.
Yeah, I could have a whole showabout how much I hate sand, but
we're going to round out thisepisode here.
Tony and I want you to ratethese games from best to worst.
Connect four life uh, shootsand ladders Hmm.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Life is best connect for and then shoots and ladders
is worse only because I haven'treally played it.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Got you, lando.
What's your top three there?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I'm going to go Connect Four Chutes and Ladders
Life.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, that's my order , joe.
Connect Four Chutes and Ladders, and then Life.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I never played Life.
I damn wouldn't have.
Well, I guess I play it everyday, but as of right now.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
but we live the game on a daily basis.
Yes, but yeah, I mean ConnectFour.
I'm a big Connect Four guy.
You know you go to DavidBuster's.
They have the big Connect Fourthings there.
I'm always gravitating to that.
Chutes and Ladders, you know,like I said, we were playing
Chutes and ladders.
You know, like I said, I grewup playing shoots and ladders a
lot and then life is just one ofthose games like it almost
(24:24):
feels personal at the end of it,like you can.
Like you almost feel like youactually screwed your life up.
You know what I mean.
Like in the support game forsure.
Uh, that was.
That's all the questions wehave.
You guys have any honorablementions of games that we didn't
questions?
We have.
You guys have any honorablementions of games that we didn't
mention that you would want totalk about here?
(24:44):
To kind of round out theepisode.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go.
If you're ever at the beach,you get a chance to play Polish
Frisbee.
Play Polish Frisbee, so there'stwo poles on each side and
there's space in between so manyyards or whatever, and then you
put a beer On top of the pole,on each pole, and you gotta
(25:09):
knock it down with the frisbee,okay.
And then if you knock the beerdown, you can catch it.
But you gotta catch it with onehand.
You gotta have a beer in yourother hand.
It can get pretty wild.
Man diving Is it a drinkinggame?
I mean it can be.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
yeah, I'm on board with it.
I'm just trying to get thefacts about this game.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I don't even know if that's the right name for it,
but we always call it PolishFrisbee.
I get it.
It makes sense.
You got two poles.
It's a heck of a time, man.
It's a heck of a time I got you, tony.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
What about you?
Any games that we didn'tmention here, that you?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
want to talk about shoot man um uno uno.
I heard it's actually gonna bea legit game out in vegas that
you you're taking the words outof my mouth.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Whoever came up with putting Uno in casinos in Vegas.
You're a sociopath, becausethat game gets heated more than
anything.
I know there's going to bepeople like I throw hands for
Uno for fun.
You're going to add money tothe equation oh, I'm throwing it
down for that.
(26:18):
There's going to be riots atthese casinos in Vegas that have
who know that's crazy.
My mind Blows my mind thatthey're they're deciding that
that's a good idea.
We're going to bring Udo toVegas.
That's just wow, and yeah, thatthat would be the only one.
(26:38):
I was going to mention Uno.
There was a game.
It's similar.
It's a card game Used to playall the time Skippo.
Same concept as Uno.
It's a smidge different.
It's a bigger deck, not a lotof reverses and wild cards,
playing with numbers andeverything like that.
(27:00):
It's a fun game.
It's very eerily similar to toUno.
Need more than two people toplay that game, though it can
take a while if it's just two ofyou because you're dealing the
whole deck.
So the more people in that game, the more fun it is.
But that would be my honorablemention.
But that is actually going todo it for this week's episode of
(27:23):
the Ride Home Rants podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Cheddar cheese on my burger.
Haven't had him on a while buthe's been a staple of the
roundtables here, but Tony.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hey guys, my name's Tony Bogan I, as far as
margaritas goes, my favoriteflavor, I know Matt took
strawberries, so I'm going to goagave and then I'm going to
have, as far as burgers goes,mozzarella.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Mozzarella.
That's not bad for a burger.
I'm more of just a limemargarita guy.
You know, just don't give me, Idon't need anything flashy.
Give me a lime margarita Ifit's frozen, even better.
Just don't give me.
I don't need anything flashy.
Give me a lime margarita Ifit's frozen, even better.
And cheese, I mean, you can'tgo wrong with cheese on a
cheeseburger, but I'm a bigPepper Jack kind of guy on a
burger.
Give that a little bit of kickthere to the burger.
(01:34):
Can't go wrong with that at all.
But we're not here to talk aboutfood and margaritas, even
though I could talk about thatall day.
We're going talk about that allday.
We're gonna talk about allthings board games and outdoor
games and lando.
Let's start with you.
What's your favorite board gameto play?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
board game.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I'm gonna go with tic-tac-toe, tic-tac-toe wow,
real old school with tic-tac-toe, but that way, I keep it simple
man play it anywhere.
You can draw that up anywherelike you don't.
Actually, it's a cheap game.
Man Need a pencil and somepaper.
I don't have to.
I don't even need paper, justsomething to write on.
Tony, what about you?
(02:13):
Board games?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Board games oh man, A Monopoly, Monopoly man, it's
Monopoly.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's an eight-hour game right there alone and it'll
break up a family for sure.
Solid options on that one.
Tic-tac-toe I didn't even thinkof tic-tac-toe as a board game
For me.
I was a big chutes and laddersguy growing up back in the day.
(02:43):
Monopoly's not bad.
I just don't have that kind oftime to stay in on a game that
always ends with somebodyflipping a table in my family
and getting upset.
So I'd have to say shoots andladders.
That was a big one for me, tony.
For you, the best outdoor gamewould that be cornhole lawn,
(03:08):
bocce or horseshoes.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Cornhole, Cornhole.
Okay, I've never played bocceball before, or horseshoes, so
I'm going to go with the defaultanswer cornhole.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
They're all kind of you know this question.
You know all of these gameshave the same mentality,
basically just in differentformats.
Horseshoes and bocce arebasically the same game.
Uh once just played with uhballs and the other ones played
with, you know, the horseshoesand the poles and sticks and
that and then cornhole.
I mean it's kind of the samesame concept of the game.
(03:43):
But l what about you withoutdoor games?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm going to go with bocce.
I was actually in a boccetournament a couple weeks ago.
Nice Funny.
You say that we lost firstround, but it was a blast man, I
really enjoyed it.
Yeah, I'm going to go withbocce on that one though.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah bocce, I one, though.
Yeah bocce, I gotta go bocceand stick with my italian roots
on that one.
Bocce bob a big cornhole guytoo, but can't go wrong with
bocce.
We used to back in college.
We the the fraternity house Iwas in, was up on a hill and we
would call it extreme boccebecause we had no idea where
those balls were gonna go,rolling down the hill and
everything like that and thentrying to throw it uphill.
So we called it extreme bocceis how we played it.
(04:28):
We made our own game out of it,but you're definitely going to
go bocce ball for me on that one, ready.
Okay, now, lando, if you'replaying one of these games here,
this is pretty all day writtenall over it.
Which one are you picking?
Is it checkers or is it chess?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, I'm going to go with checkers.
I'm a simple guy that chess is.
I don't know all the rules.
I'm going to be dead honestwith you right now.
I played one time in fifthgrade and got my ass whooped.
I've really never been backsince.
Maybe one day in the future,We'll see.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
We'll see if we can't get you to play some chess.
Yeah, I've played chess.
I used to have an all-glasschess set growing up.
I like it.
It's a very complex game.
But yeah, checkers, I mean,there's something nostalgic
about checkers for me andplaying that.
(05:35):
I don't know, that's a, that'sa coin flip for me, because I
played a lot of chess growing up.
Me and my buddies would playall the time.
But yeah, it's, it's, it's,it's, it's.
It's a complex game, I'll giveyou that.
And you know I don't win a lotwhen I play it.
You know I'm not that tacticalabout it.
I don't really care that much,obviously, um, but uh, tony,
(05:56):
what about you checkers or chess?
I'm going with checkers,checkers, yeah, so I mean
checkers, I mean when you canplay it at aacker Barrel and
they have the big game sittingout right there with the big
things.
I mean you really can't gowrong with that.
You get some good food, you getto play some little bit of
checkers while you're waitingfor it.
I mean you can't go wrong withcheckers, it's fun for everybody
, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Chess causes me to think too much.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Not trying to overstimulate and think too much
.
I get it, but Tony, do youthink badminton is harder to
play than volleyball?
For an outdoor game?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I'd say it's about the same.
Honestly, I know with badmintonyou got a little birdie there,
but badminton can be just asintense, if not more intense
than volleyball.
So I'd say it's about the same.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, that's a good one there.
What about you, Lando?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Volleyball.
Volleyball is pretty dangintense, man.
It gets real intense.
Yeah, some backyard volleyballman.
Somebody might you know leavewith a cup of the bloody nose,
or Somebody might you know leavewith a cup of the bloody nose,
or something.
Man you know?
You know how Volleyball?
I think of that.
What's that movie, meet theParents, where Ben Stiller comes
(07:14):
up and just spikes the ball?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
right, oh, no Like, if I spike somebody, I'm doing a
celebration on them.
I don't care who it is, I'lleither hit them with the too
small or strapped in.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
See, I'm just so competitive is the problem with
me?
I mean badminton, that birdie,that kid I don't know what it is
with the hand-eye coordinationwith me I can never hit that
damn thing.
But volleyball, you bet yourass I'm playing for.
Keeps back home for the 4th ofJuly at this bar that's on the
(07:53):
river.
It's changed names so manytimes.
I think it's called the CrookedDock.
Now they have a beachvolleyball court right out back
on their patio area.
They have big tournaments every4th of July.
People train year-round forthis tournament on their patio
area.
They have big tournaments every4th of July.
People train year-round forthis tournament.
It's supposed to be somethingfun.
4th of July festivities yay,we're all out having fun.
(08:14):
People just go ham for thistournament.
It's intense.
We had a water volleyball backin college as a Greek week event
.
And, tony, I'm with you.
I'm celebrating.
I'm that showboat.
(08:34):
I don't care if I'm spiking iton you.
You know something's coming.
I'm going to be hitting youwith something.
I'm pumping my chest.
I'm.
You know I'm.
It doesn't matter that that'sjust me.
I'm very competitive and I talka lot of shit when I play
anything at any game.
I don't care what it is it, canit give me tic-tac-toe and I'll
(08:56):
you know I'm just a shit talker, that's it's just my high
school play.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
If my high school had a boys volleyball team, I would
have have played for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's actually getting more popular now around the
United States, I think, withhigh school and stuff A lot more
schools have a male volleyballand all boys volleyball program
too as well, which I think isgood for the sport in general.
You don't see it a lot, butit's definitely growing.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Those beach volleyball players are badass
man.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
They are unbelievable athletes, you're running around
hot sand all day.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Covered in sand.
It's tough to walk in sand, letalone running around and and
trying to be coordinated enoughto play uh, play some volleyball
.
Yeah, I give beach volleyballplayers all the credit in the
world just for the the conditionthat they have to be to be able
to play that sport.
I, yeah, I would have to givethe edge to volleyball on that
(10:04):
one, just because of the sheerathleticism that you're going to
need to play, especially ifyou're getting to beach
volleyball.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It's one of the only sports I was actually ever
really good at.
I follow football, baseball andbasketball, but volleyball is
where it's at for me.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Hey, everybody has their niche.
I was a swimmer man, so I getit.
You know what I mean.
Everyone has their sport.
I played football, baseball,basketball.
People are shocked when they'rejust like how are you not good
at basketball?
You're 6'5", how are you notgood at basketball?
I'm just not.
I don't know how else to saythis, other than I'm just not.
(10:43):
There's just I don't know what,how else to say this, other
than I'm just that stereotypicalwhite guy Like I can't.
I can't jump, I'm pretty slow.
Uh, I tried out for my eighthgrade basketball team and
literally the coach told me theonly reason he was keeping me on
was to block shots and getrebounds.
He didn't care if I ended theseason with zero points.
(11:03):
All he wanted me to do wasblock shots and get rebounds.
That was it.
I knew my role and I executedflawlessly In a 10-game season,
making it to the championship.
I finished with 11 total points, 118 blocks and 100 rebounds.
(11:25):
Wow, that's unbelievable manOut out of almost every game I
played.
I just knew my role.
I wasn't there to be flashy.
I was getting the board and Iwas just tossing it to somebody
else.
There was no keeping the ballfor me and dunk either.
I could dunk uh that teed up inthe uh in the semifinals,
(11:48):
because back then in eighthgrade you weren't allowed to
dunk.
It was and it was in thesemifinals and I had a breakaway
and I I saw my opportunity, Itook it.
I two hand threw it down andgot teed up and then got benched
for the rest of the game.
We're getting teed up.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Did you never head tap anyone?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Never head tap anyone .
Speaker 1 (12:09):
All the time.
Man, Dude, I was a menace.
If you can't, I was chasingpeople down.
I was pitting stuff against theboards.
That was.
My job was to block shots.
I was the no.
No, no, that was my job was toblock shots.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I was the Dikembe.
No, no, no, that was me.
No, I was.
I've been hitting the two short.
If I get a board and I lay itup over you, I'm hitting either
the two short or I'm hitting thehead tap.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I get it, tony, back to board games here.
What board game do you?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
hate to play man, also Monopoly, also Monopoly,
because it takes forever.
I don't like to lose atMonopoly.
I think I had at one point, Ithink I had a big lead or
something.
I ended up blowing it andlosing one year.
Oh, shit.
I love Monopoly and hate it atthe same time.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I love hate game.
I think, lando.
What about you A board game youhate to play?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Hate.
I honestly haven't played boardgames since I've been a kid,
except for Yahtzee.
I play a little Yahtzee with mygirlfriend every once in a
while.
I call it like a date night orsomething.
We'll play a little Yahtzee, orcards or something.
I really don't hate any games.
(13:36):
I don't think that's a toughone for me.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I don't know that I have to.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
What's a game that would take a while, like I can't
think of one that's on my head,but that would probably
irritate me the most Because I'mjust, you know, play for a
little bit, get it done, youknow.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
If there's any of them, I'd have to say Monaco.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, I remember playing that as a kid.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I didn't have enough attention span for that one.
I definitely don't have theattention span for Monopoly.
I don't hate any games, butyeah, Monopoly, it just takes
too damn long for me.
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I'll tell you what they marketed.
They marketed the hell out ofit.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Absolutely Like you see it.
So much with the McDonald'spromos.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yep, there's so many different versions of this damn
game.
Like I remember, even back incollege, a girl I was dating at
the time she had a Monopolywhere they gave you debit cards.
What, yeah, you had a debitcard, they didn't give you cash.
(14:51):
You had a debit card that youhad to swipe the, the purchase
shit like and all yourproperties, and that I was like
this is intense.
And then all the spinoffs wherethere's a different theme for
every every day.
They had the nfl monopoly whereyou're basically buying
franchises and stuff like that.
I mean it just, whoeverinvented this game is a
marketing genius for sure, butyeah, it just it takes too damn
(15:13):
long for me.
All right, lando, if someone ishaving a cookout, what is the
one outdoor game they have toplay with their guests?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
oh uh, I have two and I'm gonna get.
Well, my first one's alwayscornhole.
You gotta have the cornhole,right, oh yeah?
But um, I'm gonna go with canjam, also tangent.
Can jam, your plate, can jam,can Jam, can Jam you ever play?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Can Jam, I've never heard of it, I have.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I play Can Jam.
Yeah, it's like a can on eachside and there's probably like
so many feet in between Twoteams one on each side and then
you got to throw the Frisbeeinto the little slot in the can
or you got to put it in the topof the can.
Okay, but it's fun, man.
Man, it's a blast.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It sounds like it's gonna start out fun and then
that's gonna get real intense,real quick.
Yes, and that's.
There's no denying that.
Like I, I'll take that to mygrave.
I never played the game first.
I'm hearing about it, but likethat sounds like, yeah, we're
gonna start out, it's gonna befun, and then the competition's
(16:27):
gonna get heated up and thenit's just gonna end and get
heated real quick.
Uh, but, tony, what about yougoing to a cookout?
What's one game they have tohave for the guests?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
oh uh.
One game that's played wheneverI've been at a cookout and I am
not good at this game Spades.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Spades.
We're going with card games.
Okay yeah, cookouts, I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
And also Cards Against Humanity too.
That's something I can't play.
Cards Against Humanity you hate.
Is that what you said?
No, I like Cards.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Against Humanity.
Okay, that's good.
That's literally leading us tothe next thing I was going to
talk about was cards againsthumanity.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
uh, but um that's a wild game right there it's just
not for the faint of heart.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We're, we're gonna, we're gonna dive into this here
in a minute here.
But, like you know, for me fromcookouts if I even have one,
you know what I obviously havethe cornhole set up.
Um, I need to get, uh, a bocceset to have that for me.
Uh, growing up, we've always,you know, growing up in an
italian family, we've alwaysplayed bocce.
Um, for me, you know, I mean,hillbilly horseshoes is one of
(17:42):
those fun games.
It's kind of where you havelike the two golf balls that are
attached to the string and youhave the PVC pipe and there's
three different rungs.
Each rung is a different point.
If you hook the balls on there.
That's one for me.
I mean, I'd have to say 4-0would have to be set up for any
cookout that I'm going to.
(18:03):
Never really thought about cards, though for cookouts, but I
guess every family function Ihave is cookouts at my parents'
house now and we're alwaysending up playing cards, somehow
, somehow, someway.
We're always playing cards.
But, tony, since you brought itupards Against Humanity, you
(18:25):
kind of mentioned it there.
You know, yay or nay on CardsAgainst Humanity yay, of course.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yay for Cards Against Humanity yeah, lando.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
What about you?
Is that a yay or nay on CardsAgainst Humanity?
yay, you guys get some goodlaughs there you do hell right
after, like even in college andright after we made a drinking
game out of Yay, go ahead andget some good laughs there.
You do Even in college andright after we made a drinking
game out of Cards AgainstHumanity.
It's a fun game to play.
When you start adding alcoholand booze to it, it gets weird
(18:58):
real quick.
Some of the stuff that happens.
It's one of those games that ifyou're not laughing and having
a good time while you're playingthat game, like there's
something wrong with you, in myopinion, like it's just one of
those games that just has to.
Like it puts a smile oneverybody's face.
And again, like Monopolywhoever came up with this game
(19:24):
there?
Monopoly, whoever came up withthis game.
There's so many spin-offs onthis game and it's a marketing
genius for a card game and Idon't know I haven't played it
in a while.
Might have to try to find mycard to get to man of the Set
and break that out, because Ifeel like that's just a fun
night for me now and as acomedian, it gives me material
(19:47):
when you're thinking about thatstuff too as well.
But card games for me issomething I like to do.
I'm a big Euchre guy.
Either you two play Dabble inany Euchre.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I've heard of it.
I never really got a chance toplay it, though, but okay tony,
what about you euchre guy?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
uh, I've played euchre.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's something I'm not good at either and we my
wife and I will throw down oneuchre.
We, we play for keeps when itcomes to euchre.
We, we love that game.
It's so much fun.
It's kind of like spades in ina way, um, but yeah, I've, we've
always been big euchre players,uh, for us, and I feel like
(20:33):
we've we've talked about this alot here, so we'll make this one
real quick here, and I think Iknow where you're going with
this one, tony, but monopolyoverrated or underrated.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I would have to say that it's honestly underrated,
believe it or not.
That's why Monopoly bias didn'twork, though.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Lando.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Oh yeah, I'm going to say, I'm going to say I really
don't have an opinion On itbecause I never really Played
too long Of a game with Monopoly.
I always called it quits, youknow the kid and stuff.
It was just too long of a gameand my attention span wasn't
there for that.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So I'm going overrated on this just because
of the sheer length of this game.
I mean, I'm pretty sure I havea game on pause from back when I
was a kid, that you know.
It's just one of those gamesthat just never ends, it seems
like.
But, Lando, is beach or grassvolleyball better for an outdoor
game?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh, beach for sure, brother, beach for sure, yeah,
all right.
No beach for sure, brotherBeach for sure, yeah, all right.
No doubt there, man.
I mean, if I have the choice,I'm going to the beach, brother.
You know what I mean Getting inthe sand diving around all that
good stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I'm not mad at that answer at all, lando at all.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And I tell you what man?
Sand doesn't hurt as much asgrass and dirt man.
Yeah, sand's got a lot morecushion to it.
I know I'm diving out there,there's no doubt about it, Tony.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
what about you?
Beach or grass?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Sand for sure, because you can dive, it doesn't
hurt as much, although I didkind of hurt myself a little bit
diving in a sand game, but Iwas okay, toughed it out and my
team ended up winning.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
so the only thing I would you know advocate for for
grass is you're not covered insand For like three to five
Business days After a beach.
You still find sand In you, nomatter where you're at it, just
After being in the beach andanywhere that.
(22:54):
But yeah, I've definitely Go tobeach volleyball For sure.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I've had times that Went months and somehow Still
found sand.
Yeah, yeah, I've definitelygone beach volleyball, for sure.
I've had times that I wentmonths and somehow still found
sand.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, sand is just sand.
Yeah, I could have a whole showabout how much I hate sand, but
we're going to round out thisepisode here.
Tony and I want you to ratethese games from best to worst.
Connect four life uh, shootsand ladders Hmm.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Life is best connect for and then shoots and ladders
is worse only because I haven'treally played it.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I'm going to go Connect Four Chutes and Ladders
Life.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, that's my order , joe.
Connect Four Chutes and Ladders, and then Life.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I never played Life.
I damn wouldn't have.
Well, I guess I play it everyday, but as of right now.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
but we live the game on a daily basis.
Yes, but yeah, I mean ConnectFour.
I'm a big Connect Four guy.
You know you go to DavidBuster's.
They have the big Connect Fourthings there.
I'm always gravitating to that.
Chutes and Ladders, you know,like I said, we were playing
Chutes and ladders.
You know, like I said, I grewup playing shoots and ladders a
lot and then life is just one ofthose games like it almost
(24:24):
feels personal at the end of it,like you can.
Like you almost feel like youactually screwed your life up.
You know what I mean.
Like in the support game forsure.
Uh, that was.
That's all the questions wehave.
You guys have any honorablementions of games that we didn't
questions?
We have.
You guys have any honorablementions of games that we didn't
mention that you would want totalk about here?
(24:44):
To kind of round out theepisode.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go.
If you're ever at the beach,you get a chance to play Polish
Frisbee.
Play Polish Frisbee, so there'stwo poles on each side and
there's space in between so manyyards or whatever, and then you
put a beer On top of the pole,on each pole, and you gotta
(25:09):
knock it down with the frisbee,okay.
And then if you knock the beerdown, you can catch it.
But you gotta catch it with onehand.
You gotta have a beer in yourother hand.
It can get pretty wild.
Man diving Is it a drinkinggame?
I mean it can be.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
yeah, I'm on board with it.
I'm just trying to get thefacts about this game.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I don't even know if that's the right name for it,
but we always call it PolishFrisbee.
I get it.
It makes sense.
You got two poles.
It's a heck of a time, man.
It's a heck of a time I got you, tony.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
What about you?
Any games that we didn'tmention here, that you?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
want to talk about shoot man um uno uno.
I heard it's actually gonna bea legit game out in vegas that
you you're taking the words outof my mouth.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Whoever came up with putting Uno in casinos in Vegas.
You're a sociopath, becausethat game gets heated more than
anything.
I know there's going to bepeople like I throw hands for
Uno for fun.
You're going to add money tothe equation oh, I'm throwing it
down for that.
(26:18):
There's going to be riots atthese casinos in Vegas that have
who know that's crazy.
My mind Blows my mind thatthey're they're deciding that
that's a good idea.
We're going to bring Udo toVegas.
That's just wow, and yeah, thatthat would be the only one.
(26:38):
I was going to mention Uno.
There was a game.
It's similar.
It's a card game Used to playall the time Skippo.
Same concept as Uno.
It's a smidge different.
It's a bigger deck, not a lotof reverses and wild cards,
playing with numbers andeverything like that.
(27:00):
It's a fun game.
It's very eerily similar to toUno.
Need more than two people toplay that game, though it can
take a while if it's just two ofyou because you're dealing the
whole deck.
So the more people in that game, the more fun it is.
But that would be my honorablemention.
But that is actually going todo it for this week's episode of
(27:23):
the Ride Home Rants podcast.
I want to thank both my guestshere, matt Lando Landowski and
Tony Bogan, for joining andgetting to talk all things games
here for our little game showand, as always, if you enjoyed
the show, be a friend, tell afriend.
If you didn't tell them anyways, because they might like it
just because you did, that'sgoing to do it for me and I will
