So we're going to do this very tongue and cheek like so if you call us up, we won't make fun of you at all. In our hearts, we are going to love you and hug you, but we are going to chuckle a little bit with you. Adults who play with toys. Not adult toys. Not adult toys. Okay. And the reason we came up with this topic was I was catching up with an old radio buddy of mine yesterday. And I know that he gets time off for, you know, the Fourth of July holiday, just like we do. And so I said, Hey, what are you, what are you doing for the holiday? Like, what are you doing for your long weekend? What are you doing for vacation? Mind you, he is my age. Okay, I'm 40. So we're the same date. His legit response to me when I asked him that question was, I bought a fire super Mario brothers Lego set. And so I'm going to build that. Why are you laughing? No, I just was, I thought he was going to be like, Oh, I'm gonna go here whatever 40 year old guy. I bought a fire super Mario brothers like Lego set. And I'm going to build it. I have a iron. I love Legos. I will say I'll be 80 years old. And I will love Legos. I have a iron man hand, the, the, the, uh, Infinity Stone hand Lego set. I have a Lego guy that looks just like me from a picture of me that I built for Father's Day. I would build Legos all day with this man. See, I like building Legos with my daughter. But this is like, he's a single man. He's doing it. He is a single guy. I did those on my own. I would do it. Yeah. All right. Well, then I'm not going to judge. It caught me off guard. And we're not going to put video game on this, right? Yeah, because that's, I feel like that's very normal. Yeah, video games is, you know, it's your okay cow. And Mike, and you and this one, and I mean, I have has some stuff. I will tell you that there is nothing better than having a child. Like I would love to have somebody in my life like Milo. Again, I would go back in a second, because I used to love buying toys. And the funniest was I would come home from at that time, it was Toys R Us. And my children would not be interested in the toys that they got. Because I would be the one that would pick them out for myself. And we would come home and Chelsea would go, Oh my God, this is so sweet. You bought a bunch of toys for the kids. And then all of a sudden you get Jacob or Joe. Now dad, but it was, I would, I lived vicariously through my kids, because I would see them play. And I don't know if you do this with your children, Mike and Kevin and even Shannon. But when you see them playing like a Barbie, do you ever look at the Barbie stuff they have nowadays? That you say that. So I love, I do love getting like playing on the floor with the kids. I love when Lucy has like jewelry making kits and stuff like that. I love that stuff. I played with Barbies until the summer before my freshman year in high school. I loved Barbies. I cannot play Barbies. Why? I don't know why I will play anything else with her. But when she's like, Will you come play Barbies with me? I'm like, Oh, I just, I don't know what it is. And I was such a Barbie fan. But I think it's because she makes the rules and makes it like not funny. My sisters are probably screaming at the car radio right now, because yes, she said that I was always my sisters would say that I was always like the rich Barbie. And they had to be my servants. So they hated playing Barbies with me. So you're right, Megan. It's probably because I don't get to make the rule. And I have to be the servant now. Anytime I play with my little cousins. So I realized they don't they don't want you to play. They want you to sit there and watch them play. That's exactly right play how they play. You have to do what they do. Yeah. Yeah. So you know what my out is with that. I give her the iPad and I'm like, you should film yourself for like a YouTube video playing Barbie and she loves it. It's funny. Mojo in the morning. Nick. Hi. We're talking about adults who still play with toys. Yeah. Hey, how's it going? I have an ungodly amount of Lego Star Wars. That's in my apartment. Oh, Nick, the man. Do you have to hide those when you have people come over. No, no, they're front and present. I mean, if if you don't like it, then you don't have to be in here. Really? Did you ever at your house? Hey, do you ever take time off from work to play with your leg? I wouldn't use the word play, but I've definitely changed time off to. Yes. So to I'm sorry. You don't play with Legos. You build Legos. Be respectful. There's no pain. All right. Well, thank you for the call. Nothing more relaxing. Yeah. Thank you. Hey, take care yourself. No, no. It's like. Hey, Kevin, you remember when we put together those bracelets and we're like, man, this is really calming. Yeah. That's what putting together Legos. This is what I will say. I am infactuated with the show Lego Masters. I don't know if you guys have heard of this. I watched a little Lego. It's amazing. Yeah. I've watched you about five seconds and I said, all right, these guys are smart because they're making money doing it. Yeah, break. People that can truly do it making money. What's going on, Chris? Hey, boss, what's up? Oh, come on. You can't call up and say, Hey, boss, what's up? And then tell me that you play with toys. I do. Absolutely. I'm a single father to a soon to be six year old and he spent three nights a week at his mother's house when he's not there. I miss him. So I play with his toys. Oh, okay. Hey, yeah, the past because we miss them. Yeah, that's my boy. That's okay because we're that's a completely off topic. Shannon's nerd friend who has no has no children. He should be volunteering with children or something. No girlfriend, no life. Oh, really? Is it who I know it is? Yes. It starts with a K? Oh, come on. Can we call him out? No, he sent me a text the the other day and caught up with me and talked about how how, yeah, how crazy things are on your else. I would say call him because he will he will nerd out about Legos. Understaffed over worked goes home and plays with his Legos. What's up, Tiffany? Hey, Mojo. What's going on? I have a friend's Lego set myself. Oh, really? I didn't know that that there's beautiful ladies like yourself playing with Legos. Yeah, it's still in the box, but I haven't opened it yet. So once I open it, I do have a daughter. So she will probably participate, but yeah, I love the show friends. So I saw that Lego set. I was like, I gotta get it. Were you also a Lego person growing up or would you use a Friends fan? No, I enjoy Legos. My daughter, she does too. I was going to say you probably could have bought the Friends coffee mugs or Tiffany that Friends experience has come into Great Lakes Crossing. I think it opens. Is it really? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it opens today. I did the experience in Chicago, which was kind of cool. You take pictures on the what's set and the props and you can recreate the scenes and kind of cool. Yeah, Rachel wants to call out her 38 year old husband. What's up, Rachel? Hi, my husband turns 38 next month and he's been playing Zelda and it released last month. And he also pre-orders all of the me buddies that come out for the different video games. So we have all these little figurines around our house that help him unlock certain things in the game. Does he also get the grass mode at a certain time and shovel the snow in the winter time? Like do you do all the household stuff? Yes, he does. To be honest, after playing Breath of the Wild, I can honestly see how easy it is to become addicted. Have you played it? I've not played it. I just watch him steal it from him. It's so much fun. Let me ask you this question. Does he play with you? Oh, absolutely. He does. Okay. So do you ever have to call him from playing and say, hey, give me a little bit of the love that you've been giving those toys? Sometimes, yeah. All right. Where do you guys keep him? Do you have a special area in your house that you keep the toys? He leaves them in the office, usually like on the bookshelves. Okay, that's cool. Listen to Melissa here. Melissa wants to call out her 86 year old grandpa dad. What's up, Melissa? Good morning. Good morning. I'm just calling because I'm just struck a chord of me because you might, like you said, my dad is 86 and he's played with trains all his life. He's obsessed. I think trains you can get away with, for some reason, that was like an old person thing. They turned into a hobby. Truly. So his life event now was he just got on oxygen and he was devastated because he's on oxygen. But the oxygen company found 500 foot of cording or tubing. So he could get to his train. So wait, they had to ask for extra long tubing for his oxygen just to be able to reach around those things. Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, that's nice that you can still play with that. Exactly. Darth Vader has a bad name. Is it okay for him to have that oxygen tank around all those trains? Like a spark's not going to cause any issues, is it? Oh, no. And they smoke and they make noise and there's 50 million gauges and every kind of thing. So my thing back in the day was like the race cars and they would have race car tracks. You'd set up like micro machines or hot wheels. I did. It was hot wheels, but it was like the the ones it was I had loved hot wheels cars. I got loved all those. But I also had the racetracks where it was the stupid track that would just go all the way. Yeah. And you push a button and that was it. But your thing was to try to make the track as long as you possibly could. And then when your mom told you that you had to clean up because you had friends coming over or neighbors coming over, you're like, do they have to, you know, but the hot wheels never goes away because hot wheels monster trucks live is coming to the Huntington Center. And my 36 year old brother said, can you get his tickets? Can we go to that, please? Don't you love when you have family members that will ask for that stuff? And then you go, God.
