Can't wait, dude, cannot wait for this.
Espresso question of the week,
what was the game you made up and played with your homies
or like your brother or sister when you were growing up?
Or it could have been like in college with your boys.
What was it?
For me, God, I remember one.
There were a ton, bro, but the one I remember
because of pain was when it was me and two of my friends
and we just tried to break into my friend's house
the whole day.
Bro, let's play house.
My homie would just be in the house
and me and my other friend would be just
around the perimeter like spies.
You go left, you go left, I'll take the back way.
Okay, bet.
Going through windows, his mom's bathroom window,
trying to distract him.
So my other friend, all the doors were unlocked.
There was like a dude, it was insane.
And he would just come out of every,
dude, he was so good at it.
He, we'd be like trying to make a plan
on the side of the house and the side yard.
You think you're safe in the side yard.
You know what I mean?
Cause there's no, there's like not a lot of windows.
He'd be out the window above us getting ready to snipe.
Ah!
Coming out the door, out the window.
He always knew, bro.
He was so good.
Caught me one time and the penalty was he gets to shoot you.
Pants down, bare ass in his garage, BB gun, like four feet away.
Ah! I gotta still have the well
show and tell.
My ass.
What else did I do?
A lot of obstacle courses,
obstacle courses were, dude, that's my whole childhood.
Just obstacle court.
So fun, though.
We did it.
There's a playground behind my house.
It was the best.
That was the reason I never had one of those playgrounds in my backyard.
You know, you have a playground.
The family with that baller playground in the backyard.
How rich are they?
How rich do you have to be?
Dude, that was my dream.
And you know, I'm talking about not just like the playground player,
the one that was like it had the canopy on the top that was like blue,
yellow and red. Dude, those hits so hard.
Those were like luxurious playhouses.
Swing sets, dude, they had the extendo clip on the end.
You know, you had that friend with the rock climbing wall on the swing set.
God damn.
What's your dad do?
Is he Neil Armstrong?
Like, who? Who is who's buying this?
Those went so crazy in some dudes.
I feel like some had like bonus rooms.
They had an extra.
They had like a whole wing on the swing set.
I was like, yo, those are crazy, bro.
I'd hang out up there all day.
I'd be in that thing all day, bro, in the main, like,
like living room of your swing set.
Oh, I would put so many posters on those on the wall.
You can't come in unless you have the password.
I'd still live in there.
That's where I want to live right now.
Where do you want to live right now?
New question.
We never got one of those swing sets
because we had a school behind our house and had a playground.
So we're like, all right, all right.
We'll just go over there when we want to play.
Da da da. Probably get kidnapped, probably not. Me right. We'll just go over there when we want to play. Da da da
Probably get kidnapped probably not
Me and my friend would go over there my neighborhood friend We'd had we had like a lot of neighborhood friends weirdly just cuz I loved hey Arnold so much
I was like god I want to do that
My whole life. I'm just like god. I just want to have this one is just one day. That's like hey Arnold
I think that's why I like living in the middle of a city all the
time and loud noises. I'm just like, everybody's like, Oh my God,
isn't that like loud? I'm like, Hey Arnold,
me and my friends obstacle course. All right, cool. Let's do this.
We'll time each other. Whoever has the best time wins. All right, cool. Boom,
do it. Uh, started adding stuff. You know, you got to climb up the slide. How about that, babe?
Climb up the slide. You got to do three pull-ups. Can you do it?
Okay. It was cool. It was cool. We did it. Then it was my turn to make a suggestion for the obstacle
course. Hey, no shoes, no socks, bro.
I had the neighborhood going crazy.
They were like, what are you talking?
I was like, take your shoes and socks off, dude.
On, on the rocks.
You know, the gravel playgrounds.
Oh my God.
I was so dirty dog.
Every time I played over the, so every hands dirty, so much dust, dude.
It was just no shoes. No socks
It was like I was watching my neighbors my friends
Do this obstacle course and it was like their feet well, it's like they're walking on like lava
They could barely even handle it I was just out there
I think my feet just have like a different like coating on the bottom or something. Because I could like run in rocks.
Beat the shit out of them.
What game did you play with your homies or your brothers
or sisters that you made up as a kid?
This is going to be awesome. Here we go.
One of the games me and my siblings made up was I didn't see,
but with expo markers.
So what we would do is you would pick a part of the house.
You would have like certain just expo marker
and then you would just go hide it in a room.
The only caveat is some part of it had to be showing
or visible without you having to like move it, lift something
up. Like, so anywhere you stood, the marker had to be visible. Like there had to be a certain spot
where the marker would be visible. Then once you found it, you would have to grab it without the
other person knowing wherever their hiding spot was in the house and make it back to home base before they tagged you.
So there could be a little bit of gamemanship
where you pretend to have the marker.
Oh, I love a game where you gotta pretend.
You try to be sneaky with pretending
like you haven't found the marker yet
and then slowly make your way to the center.
And then another game would just be your betting on the rain drops, which one's going to fall
first or you're following a rain drop on your window.
Those were my two games.
Dude, you guys had sick games.
The rain drop game on the window.
Yo, me and my sister, we would do that.
Only we just trap bugs between our window and our screen, you know,
just two flies in there.
Who's going to last the longest? Who lives?
It was just like our like WWE.
Trap two flies in a window, watch them all day.
I'm like, are you guys going to fight?
Who's going to eat who? Let's go. Let's talk.
After like three days, just one would be real slow
and want to be dead as shit on its back.
I'd be like, I won.
She's like, how do you know?
I'm like, I don't because the flies both look the same.
That was our game.
Did you get lucky, trap a spider in a fly in the window?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
It's like you're a scientist.
Just your own little science experiment, dude.
I'm like, what is this spider?
How is he gonna attack this fly?
I'd watch for like four seconds and I'd get sidetracked
and then come back and the spider would have the fly
all wrapped up in a web and be like, I missed it again!
the spider would have the fly all wrapped up in a web and be like I missed it again!
Fun games actually, fun games.
Yeah I'm not good, I wouldn't be good at the X-Bow marker thing, that's a good one though bro.
It's a good game. I'm not good at finding anything, dude me finding something, that reminds me like those. You see those Instagram posts that are like, what's missing from this picture?
In this picture, can you find the five objects in this picture?
I'm like, God, did I scroll so hard?
I'm so bad at finding shit.
I think that's just like a guy thing.
Guides, guys finding stuff.
Good luck.
Mom, where is the dude is, couldn't find anything.
I'm like, I would look, but guys just look for like
four seconds, right?
Okay, if it's not right in front of my face,
like that's all I got.
I wonder what that is.
That's like such caveman things in my,
I don't know, girls can just find stuff.
It's like the world it's like time
slows down when a girl's trying to find like anything girls trying to it's always the bathroom
like like cabinet I can't find shit in the bathroom pantry you kind of know your way around it like
I'm not gonna not find the ketchup like come on I know where that is but like Pepto-Bismol like something you
haven't seen in a while
my mom baby go get the hydrocortisone every time every time I got hurt go get the hydrocortisone
dude every and I could have snapped my leg in half, half of my leg on the ground.
Go get the hydrocortisone.
And I had to go get it.
So I was like hurt, looking for the hydrocortisone.
Like my patience is already minimal
because I'm like, ah, my hand,
or I got like an itch, or like just, ah, I burnt myself.
Dude, it was just the remedy for everything.
Go get the hydrocortisone.
Then I'd look in the cabinet, couldn't find it forever.
Just, it had to be me looking for 17 minutes one time.
Mom, I can't find the hydrocortisone.
Then she'd be mad, I'd be like, here we go.
Find it in 0.6 seconds.
Time slowed down
I swear to god I swear when girls find something after a guy can't find it
They just turn into max pain
You're just sitting there frozen
You're just sitting there frozen.
Right there, right in front of your god- it's always behind the like the contact solution box. You're like, oh jesus christ
It's right here that i'm like, can you put it on me?
Would be so bad at that game. That's why I love to do my biggest fear is going into an escape room
Someone you want to impress the only person you want to impress this is my biggest fear
Me doing an escape room with
It's definitely probably, let's see, Sylvester Stallone. Just checking off the boxes here.
Sylvester Stallone, maybe.
Probably Ashley, dude, you know, like in Ashley.
Do you say my name, you pervert?
Shut up!
It's an example.
You're like gross. Are you even listening? You're you're like, gross.
Are you even listening? You're the producer.
I've never listened to this podcast.
Shut up. Yeah.
Like an Ashley, you know, you just get like paired up randomly.
I'm like, God damn it.
She's going to realize how stupid I am.
Dude, it would take me four months to get out of there.
Is there a limit on escape rooms?
Because I'll set every record.
Guy's been in there for four months.
I feel like every guy will relate to this,
but in high school sports in the locker room,
we always had different kind of games going on in there
that we would make up.
Yeah, you have all these benches that we'd be sitting on,
and it's kind of like in a square
and you know, certain amount of guys on each bench and we would put a crumpled up piece of paper down and we would kick in trying to score goals underneath each other's bench.
You know, you can't use your hand, you can't leave the bench, just use your feet.
It gets pretty intense in there. Of course, we're guys. I'm sure girls do too, but like
It gets pretty intense in there. Of course. Poor guys. I'm sure girls do too.
Did they though?
They're very competitive over everything in the locker room.
And honestly, that's definitely one that
got out of hand quite a bit.
But uh...
Yeah.
Dude, I love that guy by the way.
Cool voice.
Bonus points for a dope voice.
You know, like he's done some DJing in the past.
You know the weird Bonus points for a dope voice, you know, like he's done some DJing in the past
You know that the weird like sneaky game people would play at my high school this reminded me of that
You need to have like people started carrying on backpacks a lot when I was in high school I was always like a books in arm guy
like notebook textbook
arm guy. Like notebook, textbook, maybe like planner in my arm. Like, like, dude, nobody like you can't knock that out of my like I would protect my notebook, textbook and my
planner. Like it was a like a like the last drive of the game and the defense needed a
turnover dude. I had ball secure book security. I would switch it to my left when I was going down the other way to the other
side of the hallway. He's talking about sports.
Sorry. Is my producer Ashley, if you're new to the podcast,
I have a producer named Ashley. She's a huge bitch.
I heard you.
But yeah, so I'd have book security, dude, you couldn't knock that out of my hand, but
people started wearing backpacks and I was like, oh, that's like a lot.
You know, I'm like, am I gonna do that?
Am I gonna be backpack guy?
Because backpacks are kind of comfy.
The big air pockets and the straps.
I was like a low key backpack, but for some reason, a couple of years
I had like this big like UFO like astronaut backpack.
I was like, it's like way too comfortable.
I'm like, I don't need all this.
I had like an RV on my back as a kind of embarrassing.
So I just raw dog did books in my hand.
But people with that packs would always put water bottles
in the side holster.
You know, fits in there perfect.
Every time you need a drink of the water bottle
that you unstrap your backpack, it's on the wrong side.
You're like, God.
People would walk around behind backpack kids in high school
with water bottles in the side, full water bottles,
and they'd get a, like tack like a thumb tack and hit the water bottle and
they just have water water spraying out the whole day wouldn't know tiny little
hole in the water bottle people all day with their backpacks on just no idea
that was like the gag game in high school. I was like, wow, you guys are really doing that in this one, dude.
This circle with the three fingers up, the AOK, man,
I got a slug bug. Oh,
when you saw a PT Cruiser.
Oh, wood wagon, that's to
flinch, it's three. Just get the shit beat out of you and your friend's car.
You're a God dang good.
His mom's driving your Jesus.
Mrs. Adams, your son just beat the hell out of me.
People who called their friends, parents names by their actual names and not
Mr.
Mrs.
Something.
Can't stand you.
Nope, I just wasn't that white.
I don't know.
There's just a respect.
There's something there that I just can't.
Yeah, Steve's making us breakfast tomorrow. I'm like you mean
Mr. Adams, are you kidding? You're calling that dude Steve. That's not Steve. He's not he's not our friend
He's 50 calling him but
It's a mess around my my dad, call him Joe, bro, he'd be he'd be so confused.
Then he'd be kind of pissed and play act like he wasn't.
OK, I know that got you.
You have a little waterball thumbtack game.
I was like kind of rude, but like.
Maybe that's what you get for carrying around like a.
Pond tune on your back. I don't know.
So the game that me and my cousins made up, we had two.
One was a summer outdoor game called body print.
And what you did was one person would stand on the side of the house and just pose in
the most ridiculous way.
And then we would drench you with the water hose and whatever pose you made. I was like
your body print. And then the second game we called it flash. That was the indoor game
and the room had to be complete pitch black. And we would like jump off of like the furniture, the bed, anything we can jump off of, jump
in the air.
And we would get a camera that like we have the Kodak camera and we would just put the
flash on and we would just start like clicking the camera button.
And when the flash went off on whoever the camera's pointing at, they would literally freeze in time.
And you would see whatever pose are silly faces being made.
Oh, you had to go get the pictures developed, though.
That's one thing, dude.
One thing about disposable cameras,
I've probably taken 1,000 pictures on a disposable camera
and never got the pictures developed.
Who knows?
It's just never going to do that trip to CBS.
I'm like, I'd rather just kill myself.
Yeah, I want to get these photos developed.
It'll take four days and yeah, I'll come back and see us.
I'm like, I don't give a shit about those pictures anymore.
Could be the crate. Dude, how many disposable cameras?
Are there? There's got it's got to be the crate. Dude, how many disposable cameras are there?
There's got to be two percent.
It's all girls. I do it.
I take it back. I take it back.
No guy has ever gone to Walgreens
to get disposable pictures developed.
It's always girls.
They'll do it like the next day to.
Oh, my God. Hold on. Wait.
Hold on. Wait.
Hold on. Wait, I have to like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. First thing in the morning, right to Walgreens.
I have to see these girls love shit like that.
I do. It's just so the girl, the the difference with pictures
between guys and girls, guys, no clue.
If I wasn't doing stuff on social media there would not be
one picture of me on anything the way that girls like know how they're
supposed to look in pictures just blows my mind I don't know I don't know one
guy that's like hold on hold on get this side of my face and bring the phone up and
Like let me turn like like no no guy knows his angle or side of face nothing
And I don't think they should either all my pictures are completely different. Hey the worst thing ever when somebody looks the same in every picture
Hey the worst thing ever when somebody looks the same in every picture
Don't worry got a mr. Robot taught this girl in high school
Same smile every picture and I I was one of those guys in high school that would tell you
some shit aka a bully
But she would smile so hard in every picture like this. I'm like I don't
think I just wanted to I just wanted to be like I don't think that's your best look.
Can we tone it down on the smile? Every picture exactly the same. I'm like you look like someone has the barrel of a shotgun to the back of your neck.
A lot of hose games though.
A lot of side yard hose games when you're a kid.
Put some respect on the side yard
Love the side yard, it's the only place you can escape
Just like one window on that side of the house. I don't know. Maybe I'm poor kind of figured out I was kind of poor the other day
Or or was I I don't know I
Yes, I'm starting to like exploit like tell stories about my childhood and stuff
growing up like at like shows.
And some people are like can relate but other people are like Jesus Christ you were poor.
I'm like I don't think I was poor.
I just think my parents pretended they had $60.
Like, I'm thinking about it. The only time my family bought Kleenexes.
Was for school when they're on the supplies list.
Never bought Kleenexes.
I think Kleenexes are like in the same category as like Tropicana orange juice.
Like they're that's like, damn, you got Kleenexes are like in the same category as like Tropicana orange juice like they're that's like
Damn, you got Kleenexes
Rip off two squares of toilet paper and blow your nose like that's that's that's what I always saw it like Kleenexes, bro
Okay, Donald Trump
Who are you?
All right Regis Philbin. Get your...
That's crazy to me.
We just blew our nose on our laundry.
Dirty laundry.
Dude, get up in the middle of the night,
sneeze, there's snot all over your face,
right to the dirty clothes. A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A On a shirt right back to bed never slept better in your life dude when you're a kid you had
the snotty as goddamn nose.
Bro what was going on?
How come kids are so damn sick? A lot of times I just blow a wad into my like school shirt, white school shirt.
Like a chunky, like just right back to sleep.
There's so much snot when you're a kid, just not go away.
When you're an adult, I remember just white, like being sick.
Like I was probably sick every winter.
I don't think I've been sick in 10 years.
Like I was sick like a kid.
You're sick when you're a kid and it's cold outside and you
got like a hoodie on.
I'd wipe my nose on my sleeve and it would just go for like
it would go all the way up to my shoulder. I'd wipe my nose to my shoulder on my sleeve and it would just go for like, it would go all the way up to my shoulder.
I'd wipe my nose to my shoulder on my sleeve,
the whole way up, just to track a snot.
Like there was a big slug on my sleeve.
Snail sleeve, snail sleeve.
Hey, Benny.
Sorry, it's been a while, been a few weeks.
It's been a while. been a few weeks. It's been a while.
Participated.
Since I.
Answered one of your questions.
Talk to me, baby.
But I'm excited to see you in Pottstown this weekend.
It's going crazy.
A really good time.
Thank you so much.
My two best friends and I currently have a game
that we made up a few years ago called Divorce or Not.
And we play it every time we get together with our husbands.
We do a whole weekend, and we rotate whose house
everyone stays at.
But it's basically kind of like a truth or dare drinking game.
But we write questions, like controversial or maybe uncomfortable questions and throw them in
a hat or whatever and we have to pick.
And if you don't answer or you don't do, sometimes we write dares.
If you don't do it, then you basically just have to drink.
But we've gotten into some heated discussions about some things or I remember my one friend,
her husband got a question that was like,
where was the craziest place you had set?
And his answer had to do with like an ex-girlfriend
and they ended up getting into a fight that night.
So that's how we ended up calling the game Divorce or Nah.
But it's actually really fun.
And we play it every time we're all together.
So yeah, as a 34 year old,
that's the game that I have made up.
Couldn't think of any ones from my childhood.
But all right, I'm rambling.
Love you.
Love you more.
Can't wait to see you this weekend.
And everybody else in Potsdam, dude. We're going crazy. We're going crazy
Soul Joles, babe
Why is it it's gonna be so fun?
The name of the club sounds fun. All right
Divorce or not, man. That's why that's like half the reason I can't have a girlfriend. I
Am the guy that like I won't show it, but, yo,
if she says and dude, it stays in my head
to this day, things my ex-girlfriends have said about like, dude,
I just want to pretend that you never dated anybody.
Oh.
that you never dated anybody.
Oh.
When someone do when you hear it from someone else, you're like, I can't.
Yeah, she is kind of like a whore. Oh. Wait.
Never mind. I'm like, were you talking about?
No.
Then I'm like, what was she?
Oh my God, dude, that'll kill me.
Can't, dude, I could never play that game.
I would make up so much bullshit.
And I haven't done anything cool or like anything like that would get someone jealous
I'm like always at like the the disadvantage. I'm like, I have no cool. I haven't done anything cool
Yeah, so like me and my ex we like and it's always a crazy at a concert and like oh my god like oh my god, no one saw and like it was the hottest and like
God like oh my god no one saw and like it was the hottest and like I'm like bro I've never done anything like that I'm too scared
anytime there's an opportunity that I'm like dude we're gonna get like kicked out
like I'm gonna go to jail because of this shit no I'm not doing anything you
have to be like spontaneous, least spontaneous guy ever.
Don't ask me to do anything wild.
I'm out.
But every person I've ever dated, just the wait, what?
Just pretending it's not bothering me the whole entire day. Never have I ever. Please don't play that game with me. Please
don't play that game with me. Back when I was in elementary school, me, my two older siblings and two of our friends
would play Power Rangers.
We had these cool, like, I don't know if they're limited edition, but we'd have these cool
Power Ranger Expo markers.
And there was like five different ones.
But um, yeah, we were the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

I'm a half of my life growing up.
Just lie after lie after lie.
Nothing was adding up.
Nothing. You came into my house. Nothing was adding up. Nothing. You came to my house.
Nothing was adding up.
Took a field trip one time,

Thought you played baseball. No lied to my friend told him I played football come clean like two years later, just hope to God he didn't remember any of that.
I thought you played baseball. No. Lied to my friend, told him I played football.
Straight up.
Because our football started in third grade, like two of my friends played
football in second grade at like a different place.
And I was like, yeah, I played too.
Where do you play? I was like Greenwood, just made up a whole league.
They're like, no, we're playing football and P.E.
They're saying all these football words, had no idea.
I remember my friend being like, juke the cone.
And I was like, what do you?
You don't juke in your league.
I was like, no, we're not allowed.
Oh, what am I doing?
Guys, a liar.
I think I pretended to be a Power Ranger in my house.
Just until I was like probably 15.
Yep, getting some weird looks, weird looks from the sisters. Me 15 years old pretending I was a splinter cell guy.
Freshman in high school,
freshman in high school hanging off of a door
with night vision goggles on, 15.
On the back of a door.
Lit up glasses, my sister looking at me.
Just let me be splinter Cell, okay?
Don't tell anybody about this because I know everybody else was doing that too.
You're like immature, literally grow- I...
I know there are so many people that were just freaks at their house but played it all
cool at school.
Okay.
Okay. Okay. I know what your house is.
Pretending to be a monkey and shit all day? All right. Okay, Hannah.
You're all quiet and shy at school and you go home you're
eating bananas and shit only for a day because you told your mom you're a monkey I've done it you have to okay you don't you
know so like okay so like we had like this like dodgeball and um dodgeball you
know water polo balls what we use
Then you're in a trampoline and the trampoline circular, right? Mm-hmm
So like in between the bars held up the net
That would be like a goal and the other side was the opposite side was a cool
Oh, baby, and then we called it grasp because you know, you graphs grasp the ball
so pretty much it's kind of like a mix between football
And like there was a specific position. It's like different positions, right? Oh
One person was the stretcher the stretcher was the only one that could score. Oh my god, you know the wall and
He would be the defender that would protect you or like you could pass to him or whatever. It was like
He would be the defender that would protect you or like you could pass to him or whatever. So it was like
It's like, you know, like you run you like you try getting across and pretty much when you touch the ball against it And then protective net in the trampoline go all into goal posts. It's a stretcher did that then that's a point and that's sick
Between teams after you scored
Yeah, it was this low-. It's physical. You know, you're wrestling
on the trampoline and like, you know, you can jump over your friends and stuff and all these
different things. But yeah. Yeah. Dude, I love you, man. Great explanation. Grasp.
Why do you leave me that voice message like his girlfriend was mad at him though?
I pictured him like him and his girl are in bed, you know, and his girl fell asleep and
he's like, all right.
Like, all right, it's time to do this shit.
He like rolled over to like the edge of the bed and like did it like this with his hand
over it.
It sounded good, dude.
He made it sound good like because it was like that. I don't think I've ever been in a situation
where my where the girl I was dating was asleep and I was awake ever. Not once. Not once.
I've never seen a girl sleep except for in the morning do girls are so gone in the morning, bro
Oh my god. I'm like you die. Holy shit
Girls are dead asleep in the morning
You could slap the hell out of a girl's face wouldn't even know
Nope it wasn't me who did it. But at night, no chance. No chance
you ever see your girl fall asleep first. Not one time in a million years. How about
when you fall when you take a nap with a girl, you take a nap, you shut your eyes, go to
sleep, they get mad at you. Because they weren't sleeping at the same time as you. I'm like, How about when you fall when you take a nap with a girl you take a nap you shut your eyes go to sleep
They get mad at you
Because they weren't sleeping at the same time as you I'm like, um
That's what what I thought we were doing no you like fell asleep. I'm like, yeah, I know
You got mad
Doesn't let you sleep.
Dude, games on a trampoline, they hit a different level
because there's like a there's like the fear variable.
You're like, oh, could die.
Could die.
I pretended I was Nightcrawler from X-Men on a trampoline.
Had to be for three years.
And maybe four.
Man.
If you just watched me on a trampoline
when I was 14, 13,
you saw a lot.
You saw movies, you saw trailers,
you saw me saving the world.
I used to go outside and jump on the trampoline
man, I think
Yeah, it almost was like
for hours
If I didn't have anything to do is just trampoline
trampoline
Put this game called steel heel bro
You're on the trampoline. I'm not a good Bro. You're on the trampoline.
I'm not a good person to be with on the trampoline,
I'll say it right now.
There's not a more aggressive person in the world.
Me or a bear on a trampoline, I'm more,
I'll take a bear out.
We played this game called Steel Heel.
And like me and just, we'd be jumping on the trampoline,
me and like two other people, me and another person, usually me and my sister, but we'd be jumping on the trampoline me and like two other people me and another person usually me
And my sister but like they'd be on the you know
They'd be like laying down on the trampoline or something they just fell down
They're just beyond the ground and you jump as high as you can and take your heel
Back of your heel heel bottom of your heel just boom
Bro right on their thigh or something
Steel heel.
It was so rude.
All my games are so violent.
I'm always beating the hell out of somebody's whoops.
But yeah, I don't know why.
Actually, yeah, I do know why, because all I did was watch superhero cartoons
and they beat the shit out of everybody.
So all my life, I'm like, I guess I'm just gonna like get in fights not real ones but as a
kid all I wanted to do was fight fight fight fighting underwater at a pool all
my me that's the only thing me and my sister used to do all right let's go to
the pool me and my sister would just fight underwater for 45 minutes,
like right under a lifeguard's nose.
The lifeguard would be sitting there like five inches above us,
five feet above us, just looking down, watching us just go crazy against each other.
But we thought we were going crazy.
It was in slow motion because it was in water.
Screaming underwater
Life guards just like
One time he's like no no no we got so scared ran over my mom
After just trying to beat the shit out of her. After trying to drown and kill each other.
So scared.
Then fought again.
If you didn't want to fight your whole
All I wanted... Everything I watched
was a fight.
Wake up in the morning, watch
Superman and Batman
kick the shit out of people.
Okay?
Um, then watch football all day, guys hitting each other, and then at night watch, um, Rocky, a guy beating another guy up.
Rinse and repeat every day.
Why are you so violent?
All I did was watch people fight, bro.
That's it. Oh, I walk, my dad's watching something, I go was watch people fight, bro. That's it.
Oh, I walk at my dad's watching something.
I go watch it with him.
It's John Wayne, a guy just blowing people's heads off with a gun.
You're so weird and violent.
Yeah.
I just want to fight.
But doesn't really want to fight.
It is my dream.
I swear it's my dream to get asked to like do a celebrity boxing.
Ask me, you know, ask me.
I will train.
Like. Like, I'm fighting Logan Paul.
Let me fight Logan Paul
Yo, come on, baby, I
Will do I will sell my soul
The way I'm I would be I'd be able to jump rope after that. I would look insane
Like insanely bad, you know, I mean cuz I'd be like
I'd like pretend it was a movie and shit
Then just get beat the shit No, I'd be like, I'd like pretend it was a movie and shit. Then just get beat the shit.
No, I'd won.
Okay. So a game I made up when I was a kid
was probably similar to a lot of people, but there was a grocery store,
a particular grocery store I went to shout out Peterson's,
just a little mom and pop place.
Nice.
Not a big chain or anything like that.
Don't need it.
And at Peterson's, they had these little funky like designs on the
floors and the aisles and they were spaced out enough where for me as a
little kid, you know, now I could probably walk over each of those just
with each step, but as a kid, it was like this challenge for me to be out in front of my mom with the cart.
And I'd be out in front of her, like jumping from each.
Like little funky design to the next year.
I'll see you'll drown.
And then when I got to like the end of each aisle and we were at like the end cap,
I'd be like, oh, crap crap I have to take like a shuttle
so I'd get up on the the cart yeah come my transport to get me to the next thing that I
could jump on to so I could keep jumping along so basically it was like a floor is lava type of
concept I guess so uh yeah uh floor is lava grocery store edition.
Yeah, it was a really good time. So much fun. See ya, bye.
Best time you've ever had, actually.
Dude, you're a dog for sharing that.
Don't come, don't think, don't be listening to this,
thinking your ideas too like out there are weird.
Cause that right there, that hit home, man.
I still do it when I walk.
Every time I walk, I'm like, can't step on a crack.
You know, I gotta stay in the dark squares.
Just, there's panels are alternating colors.
I'm like not stepping in the white ones.
Are you kidding me?
Who would I be if I stepped in the white one?
You think I don't have any pride in myself?
I'm stepping alternating boom and like, I wonder if anybody's ever caught me.
Did you just like try to step in the brown part?
Yeah, the brown block. Yeah.
Because if I didn't step in the brown block, I'd have to start over from back there so you caught me people are still doing
that right I'm still doing that you won't see me walking on the Hollywood
stars wouldn't start that don't step on one star god damn it not out of respect but because I in my head I
imagine they slice my ankle off I'm still doing that bro floor's always
lava hey when it really got serious though how about when you turned like
15 had some brothers or sisters you never did this with the homies. Maybe though, maybe, but they just didn't get it.
You know, it was a family thing.
Life on the line, bragging, not even bragging rights,
but just like,
there's just some kind of feud between like you
and your brothers and sisters that,
I mean, I had it with some of my friends but like they just didn't they
Just didn't take it as seriously the balloon game. Oh
Dude, I would I would train for the balloon game
Me and Tony are playing balloon tonight
Me at 11 a.m. Me and Tony are playing balloon tonight. Okay.

I prepped for those little games like I was Michael Phelps.
I would jump on the trampoline to like strengthen my legs before the game.

You can't do it.
You never said.
Balloon game.
Best game.
Hi, Benny.
Love you long time.
Love you more.
But a game we used to play,
we called it Dope Man Dealer, like dope, the dope man.
You're crazy.
One of my older cousins, she's the one that told us about it.
And thinking back on it now on hindsight, I'm just like,
how did she know about all this stuff?
But I played it with all my sisters, my brother, all my cousins,
and they would come over because there's five of us and five of them.
And then there was like three more other pairs of cousins that would come.
So there was a lot of parts in this game. There was someone that was and five of them. And then there was like three more other pairs of cousins that would come. So there was a lot of parts in this game.
There was someone that was the assigned dope man.
There was someone that some of us were the dope man dealers gang.
Some of us were the law.
Some of us were innocent bystanders.
Some of us were the druggies.
And we had this shed in the back and that was the dope man's house. We also had a little wiener dog,
so that was the guard dog at the dope man's house. So we made the dog play too.
And we would like, there's a lot of running and gunning the drugs. The dope man, then they'd go
try to sell the drugs. And sometimes the druggies didn't have the money for the gang and they would
get shot and killed. And then the law was involved and law was always trying to, you know, go under cover
and try to catch them doing the deals out in the fields and behind the house, behind
the shed. And the actual, my mom and dad's actual house was the police station.
So that's the game that we played.
And I want to say my favorite part of all of it was probably being the dope man
because because it was just so much power you know what I mean like the whole game so
and then try not to get caught but anyways that's the game that we played dope man dealer
the enthusiasm is unmatched every week this girl just top-notch, on ten, great
voice message, never dips, never been, that girl's never been in a bad mood. And
then like randomly there'll be like a horse that nays at like 17 seconds all
the time. I'm like, God, man, what a life, you know? What a life. Every time she pops
on I imagine her in a cornfield. know how you listen to people who knows what everybody really looks like you know on this podcast
I'm just imagining people in my head. I wish I could show you guys
Dope man, dude, dude, dude, dope boy fresh a
Lot of the games with a lot of running and gunning are fun, man
They're fun capture the flag around first time you played that
Smear the queer
Never wanted to play that red rover also too. I was like, I don't want to play that
Now I don't want to play one game ever. What's up with that? You hit like what 13 age 13?
I'm like god damn. I don't play this game.
I don't want to do this at all.
When you got asked to play Red Rover, I was like, I'm going to break your.
Are you sure you want to play this game with me? Like.
I feel like I kind of invented roughhousing a little bit.
Your dad just used to kick your ass on the living room floor and I had to get out of
that?
My dad would beat the hell out of me every day on his knees.
I was standing up just done, just can't get it.
Never could get up dude.
I would do the craziest shit while he was like pinning me down.
Bro kicking him, kneeing him in the back like
Hard as I could nothing
Just could not get out of that man. God dang
But then when it come when it came to like playing
Red Rover
Red Rover Red Rover send Benny right over I was like yo
Red Rover, red Rover, send Benny right over. I was like, yo, I am gonna send someone to the hospital.
Like this is not the game.
Uh-huh, I'd go like half ass, you know.
You think you're gonna hold, no, babe.
No, your AC joint is gonna be dislocated
because I'm coming hot.
After the flight, hey, kind of never.
And a big thing for me was like with games, I was like, I don't understand this.
Like, I never played like the household games, you know, Red Rover.
I was like, I kind of don't get it.
We never played that.
We just made games up.
Capture the flag.
I was like, I don't really get that either.
Honestly, we never played that. We made up our own games. So it was up. Capture the flag. I was like, I don't really get that either. Honestly, we never played that.
We made up our own games.
So it was time to play capture the flag.
Everybody's like, OK, I want his team.
Here's the flag. I was like, what do we wait?
Oh, what do we have to do?
Then I'd always get my ass tagged out.
I don't know what we're doing.
Big reason why I didn't play baseball.
I was like, I have no idea how to do this and no one's ever explained it to me.
And for football, half played football for half my life, didn't know what I was doing
the whole time. I was like, no one really explained it.
They probably did, but like.
Not well enough.
Half the time I was playing football, I was like, I don't even know if you can do this,
but I'm doing it.
Like no one explained this.
I don't know.
Never understood shit.
You can't do that.
I'm like, how would I know?
You can't touch the ball if it rolls two yards and the other guy already touched it.
I'm like, Jesus Christ, what kind of bullshit did you just make up?
What rule is that?
In football? No, it's not a sports podcast. I thought shut up
No one no one last thing I'll say about sports no, yeah last thing I'll say
Nobody that plays played football ever even every coach ever knows about special teams.
Kickoffs, kickoffs, return punt punt return, field goal, field goal block.
Onside kick, nobody knows those rules.
Even the refs are like, hey, we got to huddle up.
That's what I don't know.
What is that? Like rule 23, a four.
Nobody knows this year, right?
No, we know. We gotta look it up.
Nobody knows that.
Never knew the rules, bro.
Card games don't even play.
Don't even start.
If you talk about card games, if you say,
somebody's gonna do it, watch.
Somebody's gonna do it.
Let's talk about card. If you say, I, somebody's going to do it. Watch somebody's going to do it.
So a game, uh, my friends and, uh, family, family members, brothers, cousins, et cetera,
would play what it was called. Which translates to dark room. And basically it's like hide
and go seek, but in the dark in one room and the main and the person that's
seeking the other people is blindfolded.
And let me tell you, you got hurt all the time and it was hilarious.
That reminds me of those games that you like see on tick tock and stuff where the guys are like blindfolded hitting each other with stuff.
So I watched it forever a
Lot of hiding did hide and seek with the cousins
Different level of fun
Just the rivalry your guy cousins against your girls girl cousins hide and seek I
Will go anywhere
I'll go in a car. I'll be in a car for four hours
Just so
My sister or girl cousin doesn't find me
I'll do anything
hiding behind a
inattractor tractor lawnmower blade.
Blade on my face for three hours.
I'll do anything.
I would have lost a limb.
I think I was in a tree one time for
two and a half hours.
Just like almost thinking about like, damn,
so I got to be up here all night.
Like I was down for that.
Hide and seek with the cousins is just
that that is peak right there.
And like it's an easy game.
There's no, no oh yeah the home
bailer bad bad if you get the golden ticket shut up it's just don't get caught
bro and I'm telling you I thought I was Max Payne my whole life still do it
every corner I walk around pretend I have a gun in my hand.
Pretend I'm a spy.
I've been pretending I'm Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible my whole life.
And you don't think I'm going to go and you don't think you're going to get the most valuable
hider when you pick me for hide and seek.
I'll go on the roof
I'll go in the I will stake out in the woods
I'll get shot
Just just and I won't make it
No, I don't see him I don't't see him. Let's keep walking. Me, me and a tree. Blood running down my leg.
You're never gonna find me, babe.
It's always a fun game, you know, And then somebody gets hurt and they start crying and you're like aunt or uncle or grandma or my friend's mom
Let's stop the game. Yeah
Did it really hurt that bad that you had to end the whole game
Jesus Christ, dude, like your your whole arm better be like severed off
Dude, like your your whole arm better be like severed off

Exactly how it sounds. So a little bit weird to explain so much fun to play though
Somebody's it they have to walk around the house the first time as soon as they turn the corner
Everyone takes off to go hide some wares when they're walking around they can look they have to stay on the path
And then the second time they come around they're running as fast as they can around the house
Everyone has to get back to the base before they get there

I gotta play my other sister.
She doesn't know how to do that.
She's a little more agile, though, and a little craftier and smarter.
So that's a whole nother battle.
But the slap down.
Can't stop it.
How are you supposed to stop it?
Am I supposed to get on the ground?
People will be spiking stuff, playing balloon,
playing badminton, am I gonna have to lay on the ground
so the ball hits me?
How do I stop that?
Today, I'm asking, how do you,
you just can't serve it up high.
Well, sometimes they hit it low and I just, you know, you gotta,
you gotta go, you gotta get it and just pops up and Jesus,
you gotta smack it back. No, doesn't ever work. Yeah.
My time, my reflexes aren't that fat. Crazy bro.
Once I started spiking, it was a wrap.
aren't that fat? Crazy, bro. Once I started spiking, it was a wrap.
The game, me and my friends made up and used to play when we were a little younger. Dude's a real one.
Around the ages of like 15 was my one friend who was rich had a real big, huge finish basement.
It had the works.
Get out of here.
It had like a theater and a pool tables. He also had a little sister, she had all her
shit in it. But we used to play hide and go seek and it would
get pitch black down there because there's like barely any
windows. And what we did was one person would be the seeker and
everybody else would hide. But we called this warrior hide and go seek. Because when
the person was able to walk in and try to find us, we were
able to throw whatever objects we could find in the basement
at the person. And it got rough. My one friend actually broke his
nose because someone threw a fire truck toy at his face.
Yeah, those hurt.
Broke a hole in the wall
because my other friend threw an actual pool ball.
So it was crazy.
It was fun.
But yeah, that was a game that we did when we were kids.
Dude, Warrior hide and seek.
Just one game that I know I love to play, but deep down,
the first one breaking some.
I will shoot a BB gun in in someone's head to win.
I'm an idiot. I'll throw a Hot gun in someone's head to win. I'm an idiot.
I'll throw a Hot Wheels car at somebody, like fast.
Just in the speed.
I don't mean to hurt you, but like dude,
the game's the game.
Warrior, that's crazy.
There's a lot of things like that where
you like change a game to make it more violent. God dang it.
We did that with shotgun shotgun.
When you're about to go on a trip, man, dude, I was a shotgun. I,
I would call shotgun. It was the only thing I thought about, I think.
Yeah. I think we're gonna go down to shotgun. Dude, all my friends, god damn it.
Or shotgun bed, bro.
Spending the night somewhere?
Shotgun couch.
Both my friends, fuck.
Dude, it was kind of annoying actually.
I was probably pretty annoying with it.
But the only way you could get me out of shotgun or get the person who called shotgun out of
shotgun was to out man them.
And it would happen a lot, a lot more than you think.
I'd be like shotgun.
OK, cool. And then I get in shotgun, my friends drive and we're just like going to the gas station or something.
And my other friend who was going to sit in the back would literally grab the front door handle,
open the door, take my seatbelt out and remove me from the car. But it wasn't that easy. It was like a fight.
It was like a seven minute thing of us like like going through it.
He's trying to get me out of the car.
I'm trying to stay in the car like we're not punching each other in the face,
but it's like a big like arm chop, like elbow, like
like holding on to rails, like the the little like
whatever thing that is, that emergency.
Like the steering wheel and the driver didn't help.
He's just
just. You had to be ready
because you never thought somebody's really going to do it.
Shotgun in the back of somebody said, OK, yeah, we'll see.
We'll see.
We'll see. To get the seatbelt off and do all that right and sometimes the guy that had shotgun would just give up like
If you were persistent enough to outman him, he'd okay, dude
You can have it
Here I am once again. I'm torn at the basis.
Oh, this thing's on.
I know this is in the question of the week, but it's all good, ma.
Lyrics, you got wrong.
I got that song by Kelly Clarkson wrong.
I dated a guy in high school who had hazel eyes.
Believe it has hazel eyes.
Anyway, I dated a guy in high school who had hazel eyes. Believe it has hazel eyes. Anyway, I dated a guy with hazel eyes,
and after we broke up, that song dropped, I guess,
and I would be jamming to it in my car,
and I thought it said, he had these hazel eyes.
And I'd be like, of course, a song comes out
about a guy with hazel eyes.
So I would be driving around, miserable, depressed,
and just crying and just being like,
he had these hazel eyes.
Oh, no.
And turns out it was behind these hazel eyes,
Kelly Clarkson.
You're still in love.
Hazel eyes, not my boyfriend.
Okay, anyway, back to the question.
A fun game that I made up.
I feel like this is so up your alley.
My friends and I were on like a road trip once
and we started dying laughing
and we still carry it on to this day.
So celebrity names, we were like,
what if like someone decided to name their child
a celebrity's name, but the first and middle name
of their child is the celebrity name
and like you keep your last name.
So like,
you can set your name as an example.
Sick name.
Game.
Could we make LeBron James Pulitzky.
Yo, let's go.
LeBron James Pulitzky.
Sick.
Daughter, no big deal.
Tate McCray Pulitzky.
So we'd have these,
that's a good one.
We'd have these competitions on like,
who can come up with the best name
for like a specific last name.
So much fun.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Palitze.
I'd like to introduce my son.
He's Leonardo DiCaprio, Palitze.
Okay. All right.
Bye.
Oh, hunty, hunty, hunty.
See you at the, hunty.
Would you like to go to the St. Patty's Day parade with me, hunty?
Do you want to wear matching green hats?
I love you.
Okay. Bye, hunty.
I love you.
This is so funny, yo.
That's a sick game.
That's a sick game.
And she, you got that dog in you to call in and share that because I think a lot of people would pass on that game,
but that's a fire game.
People don't know, the people don't know.
Ricky Martin, Polizzi.
Ta-ha!
I could play that game all day.
Kelly Clarkson, Polizzi.
Yeah, how come every time you break up with somebody
or you're with somebody, every song is about them?
Every single song.
I don't even I'm super divorce guy right now.
That's never been married.
Not one song sticks out to me, but right when you're in a relationship, every song.
Oh, my God. That's like, oh, my God.
It's like literally us
Right when you break up. Oh my god, it's every song hits you like this so weird
We used to play the game kind of similar with names
Joe Jonas, but see
LeBron James, but he was kind of key because my middle name is James. Oh, my God. Good poll.
It would be we would say people that we knew mutually
and then end it with the ESPN sign off.
So much fun.
So I guess we don't know anybody mutually, but it's like
So if I guess we don't know anybody mutually, but it's like
LeBron James
ESPN Or like we just and it was funny because we like kids that went to our school and shit that like nobody really like talked
To we would just say their name and then ESPN after I'd be like Robbie Montell
ESPN you know I mean you want to article though. These are just random ass people.
Zach Lawrence, ESPN, like every day.
And we would do it for four days.
Dying.
Liam Pinheiro, ESPN.
Oh, my God.
So fun. One more, one so fun one more one more one more
So when I was younger me and my younger brother made a game we didn't have a name for it
But is the combination of basketball
Baseball and golf that's what you do is you start at the trampoline.
Oh, yeah. That we have. Did everybody have one?
Basketball is our golf ball and a baseball bat is our golf club.
But you would hit the ball off the trampoline
and you would have to get off and run to where it is
in order to get to a
good spot where the hoop was and you shoot as many times as you can until you
hit it and that's that's the game but you want the least amount strokes and
that's when you win. Those are pretty stellar game I mean I don't know what
kind of wizardry we're coming up with and they cut that game,
but we were on something and it was so much fun.
God, it was called being bored as shit.
It was called your mom making you be outside the whole day.
It was called your parents locking you outside of the house.
He didn't break anything inside.
That reminds me of like a pitch back.
Do you remember pitch backs?
Nobody in my whole family played baseball.
We had a pitch back.
It's like a net that you just set up and you throw a ball at it,
bounces back to you.
Get the pitch back.
Maybe it's not the same thing, but did everybody have a trampoline?
Trampolines were so lit. The number one thing, man, didn't need anything else after that,
except for, dude, my dad was so pissed when he got a trampoline
because he always had to move it because he thought he'd kill the grass.
Yeah, Jesus Christ, and killed the grass every morning.
My dad, no one, my dad dragging the trampoline around in the backyard trying to move it like shit,
like shimmying it and shit to get it to move.
So I didn't kill the son would just bake over our whole gra- our whole yard,
just big circles in it from the trampoline.
He did that with a basketball hoop too.
We had the basketball hoop like on the side of our driveway.
Just killing this shit out of the grass, he'd move it every single time
to the driveway.
Don't kill the grass.
What's up with dads in grass?
I take pride in this lawn.
Front yards for looks.
My dad.
I felt like when I stepped on the front yard,
stepped on the front yard, an alarm went off in my debt.
Front yard for look 20 minutes away somewhere a trigger a golf in his head.
If he caught my ass playing something in the frame crazy.
All right, skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick on skick Hey! Crazy.
Alright, skigons, skigons, skigons, skop, skop, skop.

They're like pajamas or something for like a mom.
But it was like a dress.
It was weird.
It was like a dress hanging out the door.
And I saw it when I brushed my teeth,
went back to watch the show.
I was like, okay, okay, okay.
And then the next commercial break, I had no chores to do,
but I still went to the bathroom anyway.
And tried on the dress.
Like complete silence, like, you know, in the commercial goes
to the next commercial, there's like one second of silence.
You could like hear my bare feet on the tile, like.
Like slipping into this silk thing.
And like, you know, it's just like fiddling around with some shit,
you know, trying it on, doing some poses, probably like trying to look hot.
