Chapter 1: What happened during Mahjong night?
Hello.
So excited to chat with you for an hour. I don't know when we're listening.
I'm ready.
Is anyone listening out there?
Oh yeah, Amy's listening. This was over on Spotify. When my son still lived at home and played Rocket League with his friends, we were also worried about the neighbors and did actually tell them that we weren't beating him, but that he was playing a video game. He lives in Brooklyn now, so I'm sure nobody cares anymore.
Wow, well it's good to know that we're not alone.
Yeah, you know, I played the other night with my friends and I won. So this isn't any excuses that I'm going to make. But I did feel a little not as, what's the word? Like not as free to play and be me and be loud because I was in my head that I didn't want it to sound like I was murdering somebody over here.
Well, that's just also being kind of thoughtful.
Thoughtful neighbor.

Chapter 2: How does playing ping pong boost confidence?
Chapter 3: What are the surprising facts about dinosaurs?
Well, that's just also being kind of thoughtful.
Thoughtful neighbor.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not all about, you know, sometimes it's not all about withholding your freedoms.
But it is always about winning.
It is always.
Sometimes you've got to weigh winning and freedom.
I'm really upset because I had a really rough night last night.

Chapter 4: Why is standing on one foot considered sexy?
Okay.
And I didn't win. It's literally the first time in my Mahjong career that I did not win a single round. Wow. And I got to say, I felt like the forces were against me because, oh, you're going to just delight in this. Because when you originally deal Mahjong, you know, you get dealt a certain number of tiles. And you hope, and you usually do get at least a joker deal. Okay.
Two, maybe if you're lucky.
Uh-huh. In your own hand.
In your own hand. And those... So then you start this thing called the Charleston, and you start passing tiles around in a certain pattern. You obviously are holding on to those jokers. And last night... It was crazy. I didn't get a single joker. There were certain people like David kept getting. He won two hands of Mahjong with five jokers.
So David was playing.
Oh, yeah.
Gotcha.
We had eight.

Chapter 5: What insights can we gain from Brooke Shields' interview?
Gotcha. I thought it was more of a not the husband's type situation.
I guess it typically is not the husbands. I mean, it's typically all gals plus Matt. But yeah, they were hosting, so he was going to play.
Got it. But so is he coming to other houses when it's not hosted?
No. And in fact, Paul... Mm-hmm. Had something to do last night. He thought it was at their house and he was going to cancel his thing so he could play. But it turns out it was not at his house. Anyway, long story short, once I someday get a Mahjong set, which can't put out any more hints than that, and that we host, I definitely want you to play. I think you would love it.
Gotcha. Now, before you went off to play, you said to me, I want to play a couple rounds of Tetris to just kind of warm up your brain and get in the zone. Yes. And one of those games... Our daughter and I were watching you, and it looked like for a moment that you might get a personal best record.
Yes.
The stars were aligning and everything, right?
Yeah.
We don't have to stay here too much because this might be hard to hear, but I think I know then what happened and why you didn't go the distance there.

Chapter 6: How does competition affect personal confidence?
Chapter 7: What can Mahjong teach us about life?
We had eight.
Gotcha. I thought it was more of a not the husband's type situation.

Chapter 8: How do we perceive beauty and age in media?
Yes.
The stars were aligning and everything, right?
Yeah.
We don't have to stay here too much because this might be hard to hear, but I think I know then what happened and why you didn't go the distance there.
Because the gods were not in my favor.
No, it's not that. You're not playing enough here in your heart. You're playing up here in the head. Uh-huh. You need to bring back the heart.
Okay. I will try that because the Tetris I thought I was warming up with now, this is going to be a hard sentence to say out loud. June Diane Raphael won five games. Five.
Now, has she been practicing?
I'm sure they play a little more often because they have the set.
