(00:02):
with the girls this weekend, a little girl's weekend. That
was fun.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Then just go to Holland.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
My girlfriend has a place in Holland, like in between
Holland and Saga Talk. So if you saw us walking
around the the area, this is like a traditional thing
that we do every single year. It was so much fun.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
It looks fun. It was really fun.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yeah, we ended up at this place and if you
went to Hope College or if you are are from Holland,
you know this place called I think it's called Parrots,
but locals referred to it as the Dirty Bird. It
is a bar and it is dirty, very very dirty.
But it was so funny because in college, I'm not

(00:42):
like a big drinking game kind of person, Like I
just always wanted to hang out and catch up with
my friends and drink like I didn't. I wasn't a
one to like want to sit down and play a
card game or drinking game or whatever. But there was
one game that I was oddly very good at and
it was flip coup. And Saturday night at Parrots in Holland, Michigan,

(01:05):
I realized I still.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Got it.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, now, mind you keV. Here's the difference.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
I am extraordinarily sober right now, and I feel like
alcohol has something to do with it. I'll do it,
but I'm telling you I'm better at it when I just.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Take just one couple, just one Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:31):

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I was touching all my college girlfriends. Guys, look at
this video.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Is you I am anything?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I am not athletic. This is my one claim to fame.
Flip Cup does quit me for your team?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Quick question for you? Can you you can't do like quarters?
Or you can't do?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Play beer pong? Actually I was okay at beer pong
on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, are you good at pickleball? Can you do pickleball?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I'm not that great at pickleball. I just learned how
to play this summer.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, No, that's pretty good. I By the way, that's
when you know you're you feel good about yourself, and
then what happens afterwards when you realize that you are
good at flip Cup, then you want to play it
all the time? Or are you good at anything?

Speaker 7 (02:35):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Like if your girl this is great, I can actually
do this. Then are there my girlfriends?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
My girlfriends from college and I went to Butler in Indianapolis.
They're like, I'm watching these videos and I can smell
the teak basement like.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
The fraternity that we always hung out at, and like, yep,
that's what it.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
What was inside? So was it just beer or did
you guys do anything special at all? Did you guys beer?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Unfortunately, the owner of the bar, Bob, did not like us,
and we were the only ones in the bar and
he was just yeah, so we just had beer.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Bob was not a fan, didn't.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Want to turn on the music or the dance life
or anything. He didn't He wouldn't let us turn up
the touch tunes.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Bob did not want.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
So you know what, we ended up leaving Bobby.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Bob thought when he saw you know how many but
seven eight people, eight of us, yeah, eight forty year
old women walking in, he thought, this is going to
be a nice night. And then flip Cup came out.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Well, let me tell you that it was Bob was
going to have a very silent night because there was
nobody in there until we walked in there, and then.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
All of a sudden, poor Bobby, Bobby had to deal
with the cleanup of this. Yeah, God, I love this song.
What is what is your drinking game? I'd love to know,
and I'd love to know if you are the champion
of your town in whatever that drinking game is. I
always ask my son, like, what are some of the

(03:57):
new drinking games? Because I want to see if they've
started some new drinking game. They've got some crazy ones.
There's a keg drinking game that is like nuts and
it's not keg stands, but it's like a keg drinking
game where they hang the keg from the actual center
of the frat house and then it's almost like a
pinata or something. Let's eight four Joe Live eight four

(04:21):
four six sixty five six four eight eight. Do we
have any moms driving their kids to school? Are about
to drive their kids to school that would like to
shout out what they were like, uh in college? Because
I bet your kids would be shocked if they heard
that you were somebody that was pretty good at something
like this.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Okay, no, because their stout mom was so good at something.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
But I but you have to understand something, stout mom.
This the the thing that they that you understand. You
hide a lot of this stuff from your kids until
you go your kids go away to college, your kids.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Are young, and blow them out of the water, exactly
until you do it.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Kechstand, kegstand and East Lansing with your kid watching you going,
Come on, dad, get down from there. What's going on, Jackie?
How are you?

Speaker 7 (05:09):

Speaker 6 (05:21):

Speaker 1 (05:23):
We're moving? We're moving. Tomorrow's our last day in Farmington Hills.
The only thing that will get me to Farmington Hills
anymore will be my doctor, doctor Warner. But uh, but yeah,
we're gonna miss you guys, although it's not like we're

Speaker 1 (05:41):
You there? Do we lose you? Are you there? Are
you there? Jackie?

Speaker 7 (05:51):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Jackie? There is no way, yes, there's no way that
you're good at any drinking game. You're not even good
at your bluetooth.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
Blueoos dropped out.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
For a second.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
Sorry bout it?

Speaker 4 (06:02):
No.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
I used to play the quarter bounce game back in
the day.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
But okay, yeah, yeah, do you ever do that at all?

Speaker 7 (06:10):
Quarter?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
So you bounce quarters into it and if you get
it into it, you get to call who you want
to drink? What do you have to just like cup
is on the table, I just got to bounce it
off the table. You just bounce it on the table
and bounce it into the cup if you can get
it into the car. Yeah, sometimes you can do it
in any kind of glass, shot glass, it's tougher. But
what's out, brandy? How you doing?

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (06:31):
I was just calling to say that I won beer
Pung the first time I ever played it.

Speaker 6 (06:36):
I think it was probably because I was also drunk.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
I don't have good aim.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
It does help you out a little bit.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
And and now what are you doing? Now? Are you?
Are you a mom of kids?

Speaker 4 (06:49):
I am? I was, well, I've the mom done.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I love it. So do your kids ever watch you
do this? Like, do you guys ever do this? When
you're at friends houses and your kids are playing, you know,
and they're all group and you guys are in the
kitchen doing your drinking games.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (07:06):
I don't drink anymore.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I think you should do this on Thanksgiving with your kids.
You can have them drink like Welsh's Welsh's uh sparkling. Yeah.
It is funny, by the way, that there are some
people that think that when you do things like this
with your kids, it is going to encourage them to
just drink. And I'm like, okay, you know what, and

(07:30):
what's wrong with that? We're not judging. What's up, Jay?
How you doing your morning? What's going on? Buddy?

Speaker 7 (07:38):
Much?

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Not much? I got a dumb that you got ja
on the phone, and Jay, Jay, you can say bs
not not that because we can't say that on the radio,
or bull spit. You can say bull spit. Explain bull
explained bull sped, he said sped.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yeah. Basically, it's a little complicated, but the basic idea
is to lie and be the last one to not
have cards.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh okay, I've never played bullspat.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
No, it's pretty fun.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
So basically, so is it. You're playing with it. You're
playing with a deck of cards and you have to
lie about what your card is.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
Yes, Basically, if someone thinks they're lying. They can call
it bull spit and then you'll you'll have to pick
up all the cards in the deck.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Okay, See, those are the kind of games I'm like,
M like, so worrying.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I want to dance and.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Just give me right to the bottle.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Just like if I sit down and I'm drinking. You
want to know what's going to happen. I'm going to
fall asleep?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
You exactly?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yes, okay, because me and.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
You make you a drinking game.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
Really heck yeah, there's money on the line.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I got a drink too, nervous.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Do you guys know these? Do you guys know waterfall?
I've never heard of waterfall? Boom cup? What is the
difference between boom cup and flip cup? Are we lighting
it with fireworks? I like that? Patriots? Our Parents is nasty? Yes?
What's that? I've never played that? The bar, the bar
that we were at, Oh, parents is nasty? Oh that
I thought that was a drinking game. So parts is

(09:16):
the place that you guys were at? Yeah, well you
know what?

Speaker 9 (09:21):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
My good old dive.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
My favorite drinking game.

Speaker 9 (09:24):
Do you guys ever do thunderstruck?

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I played Thunderstruck before it.

Speaker 9 (09:28):
Yeah, Thunderstruck is not a hard game. Do you play
the song Thunderstruck, ye, and you form a circle and
the first person starts drinking, and every time thunder that happens,
the next persons truck.

Speaker 8 (09:42):
Really, there's a person that will get stuck. I think
it's like a minute and ten seconds in beachween thunder.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
And everybody knows when that part's coming.

Speaker 8 (09:49):
And so if you're that person, you have like people
will throw beers at.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
You and you'll have truck.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
If you're a person that doesn't know the song, like me,
it would probably throw them off to I pulled.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
One of my favorite weddings I ever went to. This
is how they got people onto the dance floor. After
the first dance, they got everybody on and then we're
played Thunderstruck and then everybody stayed on the dance floor.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
It was the best.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
I just want to throw a bunch of alcohol at Kevin.
We do have to play this, We do got to
have a while drinking. We got we got a well,
let's do a drinking night before the end of the show.
We got a bunch of alcohol that we don't want
to move with us to the new studio KP. Have
you ever played the game? I just came in at
the end of the conversation. Hey, what you guys talking about?

Speaker 9 (10:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (10:34):
How do you guys ever played the game? Producing your
show behind the scenes? Coming in because I have to say,
beer darts is the most fun. Have you ever played
your darts?

Speaker 1 (10:42):
I've never played.

Speaker 10 (10:43):
I literally have darts like you throw into a dartboard
and you have to hit somebody's beer can on the ground,
and the problem is sometimes you hit their feet and
it's terrible, but so fun.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
It adds an element of thrills that makes me want
to play, just because I just want to see anything
that's violent. It's kind of fun.

Speaker 9 (11:06):
Yeah, dude, I don't have the health insurance for that game.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Anyway, continue your show. Sorry, no, no, no, no, no, no, Hello,
what's going on? How you doing? Brian?

Speaker 6 (11:17):
Good?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Good? What's up? I was just shammon, I hate parents,
and I was so glad to hear you talk.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Well, well, it could have been fun.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Unfortunately the owner was just not in the mood for
eight moms that were drinking.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
That's mean, come on, it's it's the pride of It.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Could have been very fun. They had a dance floor.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, what's up Ben?

Speaker 7 (11:46):
Hey, long time first he is on the phone.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's what we should play as a drinking game. Whenever
we get a long time first time, we have to
all take a drink. What's going on? I like that?

Speaker 6 (11:56):
Yeah, we used to play chandelier.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
What's that? You take a thirty two.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
Oce cup, put it in the middle, then you put
Dixie cups all the way around it, and then you
take one cord and you passed around like clockwise.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
And if the quarter gets in the little.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Cup, that person has to drink his beer.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
If the courter gets in the big thirty two ounce.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Cup, everybody drinks their beer. The last person to drop
it can down it has to drink the thirty two ols.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh lordie, that, by the way, sounds like a knight
that would be with you for the next week or so?
Oh does it? Yeah? Man? What kind of beer are
we talking to? By the way, because with these games
you cannot use like good beer. You got to use
bad beer, premium beer.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Push like.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
I like it? Uh, what's going on? How you doing? Heidi?

Speaker 7 (12:46):
Hey, what's up? Well? We used to play this game
called Crossfires and it was with cards, and it was
a deck of cards, and you didn't played, but you like,
instead of just dealing out the cards, you just kind
of dropped them like you could give whoever you wanted
as many cards as possible, and then you played in between.

(13:08):
Like let's say the Ace of Shades started and you
took the person to the last of you, and if
they had an ace, they could lay it down hit
and they were caught in the crossfire and they would
have to drink.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Oh so the person on the.

Speaker 7 (13:22):
Other side, if they met an ace, they would throw
that too. So you were caught in the crossfire and
you just kept throwing cards that you were hoping that
person didn't have. Oh my gosh, you would get rock.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
It really would. When you explain this to people, you
have to explain it to when they're sober, don't you.
Because anytime you have a drinking game, it's got to
be if it's got that many layers to it. I
feel like drunk people can't figure it out. I thought
you were going to hit that nerd. Well, there's nothing

(13:54):
nerdy about a drinking game. But some of the drinking
games become complicated. If I had one that said complicated
to be like, bro, we're the flip cot Rachel, what's
your drinking game?

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Well, it's not.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
A specific drinking game.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
But I was a rock star guitar hero.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I draw a crowd. Wait, so you were drawing crowd.
So if people, if people are there all hanging out
at your party, you just all of a sudden put
guitar Hero on and start playing.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
Like currently this is a long time ago.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I understand, but that but that would be kind of weird.
Like if all of a sudden, somebody in the middle
of the party just starts playing you know this, and when.

Speaker 7 (14:39):
You're drinking and they say you gotta try this, nobody
can do it, and then up comes.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Me and then you're good. What's your what's your guitar
Hero song? K C d C shook me all night long?
What's up, Patricia?

Speaker 7 (14:58):
Hi? You doing?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
We're doing okay. By the way, I'm noticing a pattern here, though.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
I'm sorry. You caught me off guard?

Speaker 1 (15:07):
What how do we catch you off guard? You called us?
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (15:12):
I know, I know it's early to talk about drinking games,
but what was your drinking game?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
D or black rhetoric? Black explain that to us.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Okay, you get a deck of cards, a deck of
playing cards, you keep them all together. You ask the
person red or black. If they say red and the
card is black, they got to take a sack.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
See. Now that's an easy drinking game. Like you're going
to play a drinking game with Let it just.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Let me drink my drink.

Speaker 7 (15:41):
No that I don't want to be told you No,
like if.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
You tick and it's black. No, if you tick and
it's a rare car, you get to take who you
want to take a shock?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh okay, so you can like actually bully your friends
into getting drunk. I love that. What's up?

Speaker 9 (15:57):
And it's a shot to and not a drink?

Speaker 8 (15:59):
Like you know, we all are hammered in twenty minute.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
What's up? Marina? Hi? First time, long time? Hey there
Marinas on the phone.

Speaker 7 (16:10):
All right, So we used to play a.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Game called oh yeah, Presidents and a Holes. Yeah, Shannon
knows all these drinking games that she said you never played.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Like, no, I said I didn't love playing.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh okay, all right, because I'd never heard of that one.

Speaker 7 (16:26):
Put the box on your head.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
If you were the able, okay, all right.

Speaker 7 (16:33):
The object of the game is still run out of
all your cards and then if you lose, you are
the a hole and the president can tell you what
to do. And we would make the first input the
empty beer box over their heads.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
All right, that sounds scandalous. Are they are they clothed?
They're not clothed when they're doing this.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Well, it's the president's joy.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh jeez. Okay, okay, that's where that's where this gets
a little sketchy. Uh, last one, Eric, what's your Eric?

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Good morning? Yeah, KP. We had I was up north
with family. We were playing beer darts as well, which
is an amazing game but sketchy as well as you
get drinking. And we had got down to a few
people and the person throwing was not across from me.
They actually happened to be a few rows down for

(17:22):
anybody who was played would know what I mean. And
so when they went and through the dart, it was
pitch black at about eleven o'clock and we had just
had lights from the cars on to see. They threw
the dart and unfortunately was quite an aggressive throw and
actually I had to stand up and back up and
it kind of got me in the cross area and

(17:42):
luckily with my pants. The pants stretched, and it saved
me from probably puncturing my growing areas.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh god, you almost a game, a drinking game.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, not good, not good. But thank god for the fancy.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Thank god for those those levies that you were wearing
that night. Yes, by the way, that would be amazing.
I wonder we should that should have been the topic.
The topic should have been how many people have had
to go to the emergency room after a drinking game?
I would love to know. And then we have to
guess the drinking game
