Like one example he gave later that is dear to my heart is this.
So there is that game where there's these like metal milk jugs, I guess, just like metal bottles.
Yes.
And there's whatever, four of them or six of them, and they're stacked up.
Yes.
And you have like a softball or something.
You throw it at it and try andβ You're trying to win a stuffed animal.
Yeah, maybe a giant stuffed animal or something.
If you knock down all the milk bottles, right?
And it turns out, he talked about this later, that like half of the bottles are heavy and half of the bottles are light.
And so if you put the light bottles on the bottom, it's really easy to knock them down, right?
If you put the heavy bottles on the bottom, it's really hard to knock them down.
Physics.
and so he had this move he would make when, like, a bunch of high school students would come.
There'd be, like, you know, the captain of the football team and then, like, the water boy kind of trailing along behind.
Okay, I was more the water boy?
Yes, you knew that, yeah.
He'd get the water boy to play, and he'd set it up the easy way so that it's really easy to knock him down.
The water boy knocks him down, gets the big prize.
Everybody cheers, yeah.
