And then the captain of the football team's like...

Oh, I'm definitely going to just kill at this.

But then Nolan Bushnell would set it up the hard way so that the football player throws and they don't fall down.

He's like, OK, I'll try again.

I'll try again.

And he'd basically take all of the football player's money because he couldn't knock them down.

Yeah.

And he had a real sense of fun, right?

Like this was fun for the water boy, not fun for the football player.

But like he he loved to party, took a lot of drugs.

He was studying electrical engineering in school, but it took him like seven years to graduate.

Eventually, he moves to Silicon Valley, not called Silicon Valley yet, but it's becoming that right.

This is right where we were at the end of last week's show.

And he's going to invent the video game industry, but he doesn't know it yet.

And in particular, he's thinking about video games.

Or really, video game.

Because at this point in history, there's essentially one video game.

And it was created by these guys at MIT, of course, MIT, in the early 60s, to be run on, you know, a computer, which at that time was a big machine that you had at a university that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The game was called Space War!

Great name for a game.
