Episode 117 - Play

1 hour Posted Aug 22, 2024 at 12:58 am.

Fan thanks, OnlyFans, Tucson weather, the monsoons, and Norah’s hall of records

Playing baseball, fat bottom games, the nature of addiction, and not Wife Swap

Norah hates reality… television, Ben explains Wife Quest, and the ABBA connection

Ben recommends for a dose of nostalgia, chibi-ish style, and on to Stellar Blade

The “back in my day” card, DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball, and why robot women?

Ben likes strange stories, finding your girlfriend in a dumpster, and just Flemming

Reading all the verbs and nouns, Norah’s “hot take,” and mostly recreational

The origin, leaping for joy, usage in print, and other phrases containing play

Plays-on-words, Ben doesn’t like golf, and burning tangerine segments at the stake

Imagination, mailing snails, one class short, masters of play, building with LEGOs

The stigma of playing, Ben challenges, throwing arrows and TikToks, and humor

Creativity throughout life, playing funky music, and Richard Melville Hall scores

The story of Play-Doh, coal residue, scent libraries, and the Doctor Drill N Fill toy

A Hasbro patent, used by Homer Simpson, and the Psychology Today definition

Two ways of doing puzzles and having fun, maths, and the benefits for adults

After a quick pee break, a connection to Nintendo, and some CES shenanigans

Developing hardware out spite, a PlayStation at a concert, and Local H’s big song

You can do that outside, final thoughts, and an association to creating and learning

Show notes

Norah and Ben are excitedly hosting the pod this week. The topic word is one that most people associate with childhood, but the benefits for adults are well documented by psychologists. Ben talks about what he is playing (Wife Quest and Stellar Blade) and Norah talks about the weather before they get in to the meat and potatoes of the discussion and start playing with their fictitious food. Why are adults reluctant to use the word play in their day to day lives? Are hobbies a form of play? What was the origin of the Sony PlayStation? Our hosts explore these questions and more!
