Chapter 1: What unusual things do Will and Rusty discuss?

0.269 - 5.631 Will

As always, Playdate is brought to you by Triple, the original high seltzer. Redefining the party landscape?

0

32.267 - 42.653 Rusty

Play date. Episode 82. Episode 82 are... I feel like maybe Roddy White. Sure. Give it a shot, Lauren.

0

43.073 - 46.515 Jack

Show me Roddy White number. This would be a snipe.

0
0

87.866 - 106.816 Rusty

Didn't Aaron Hernandez wear 82 at one point? He was always 85. No, he was 81. Oh, this is devastating. I feel like a fucking idiot. Dion Branch, final guess. We can try again at the end if we want to. 83. God damn it.

107.396 - 108.097 Leah

Happy Monday.

108.317 - 124.827 Mike

Happy Monday, guys. It's the beginning of the week, and I think this is going to be one of your best weeks yet. Thank you. I was more talking to the playmates. I'm getting eaten alive in the comments for my lack of stance politically.

124.847 - 141.397 Rusty

And I spent all morning thinking about it, and I'm sorry for that. Well, don't let them get to you. There's a lot of people out there. That doesn't mean anything. Correct. That was pretty much nonsense.

141.797 - 146.62 Emily

Well, I mean, you know how I feel. I'm not going to rehash an old horse.

Chapter 2: What happened at Lauren's party?

259.589 - 266.712 Katie

Just the worst thing you could possibly say to someone who's already acting like a child is like a... You could get the duck.

0

266.772 - 272.275 Nathan

What about the duck hash? That sounds good. No! What about the intestine soup? Why would I ever have that?

0

275.674 - 276.875 Leah

What's the predicament I put you on?

0

276.895 - 289.625 Rusty

I'll tell you once Will had something to say. Oh, I was going to ask if you... I was thinking about Segways because you said Segway. Do you ever know guys that actually rode on the... Yeah, like at school? I had a neighbor that would cruise around in one of those.

0

289.645 - 296.55 Leah

Dude, I feel like I heard of at least five accidents that happened. Like people, they got in accidents on Segways growing up.

296.911 - 315.227 Emily

Oh, yeah. Do you know... Bad ones. This is awful and unrelated to Segways, but when I was growing up, there was a car accident on our street and a guy got like launched across our whole street. And I'm not, don't make that face at me. You can't say you got launched across the tree and like hit the tree in front of our house and died.

316.148 - 318.31 Jack

Isn't that fucking insane? I don't remember it.

318.351 - 319.572 Leah

I was like, how did you get launched?

320.012 - 320.853 Jack

He didn't have a seatbelt on.

Chapter 3: What are the funniest childhood time-out stories?

351.057 - 365.631 Rusty

And now they just don't... I think they assume like that guy's an adult. He would put it on. I was listening to an interview of a guy who was on the plane that flipped. And he was like, yeah, we all landed. Thank God we were all wearing our seatbelts and we were all just hanging upside down. Yeah, I was thinking about that. Like we might have fucking died.

0

365.891 - 366.151 Leah

Holy shit.

0

366.272 - 367.152 Rusty

Yeah. Well...

0

369.434 - 370.754 Katie

Scattering down the aisle.

0

371.874 - 373.895 Rusty

Everyone.

373.915 - 387.079 Emily

And Flight 10 is just shaking his head. You're Joe Cool until you fucking... I don't think I deliberately ever do it, but it's just like if I get up and go to the bathroom, sometimes I forget. And then I'll lay in and I'll be like, oh, I didn't fucking... Yeah. Or like sometimes... I remember one time recently the guy came by and checked.

387.519 - 391.481 Jack

He's like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, and looked at me and nodded. And I looked down and I was like, I'm on my own.

391.501 - 401.08 Emily

You're like, what? No. I had jeans and my jean jacket on. So I was like... Plausible deniability, there's a blue seatbelt in there somewhere.

401.14 - 403.866 Leah

How did nobody die? That's what I'm shocked about.

Chapter 4: How do Will and Rusty define their favorite movie genres?

457.409 - 460.23 Emily

They built like some Seinfeld ass set behind Lauren.

0

460.35 - 469.672 Rusty

Where it looks like if someone walks through that door, it's like a minute of applause before they get to deliver their line. So Lauren has a killer party.

0

469.692 - 471.993 Jack

Yeah, thank you for having us. Did you have a good time?

0

472.293 - 477.402 Leah

I had a great time. I feel kind of bad that we upset my neighbors, but that's like a one and done.

0

477.583 - 487.511 Rusty

Lauren lived there and then Lauren threw like a high school party. Okay, there were only a handful of high school parties. I had so much fun.

487.551 - 503.681 Katie

We were playing King's Cup and one of Will's friends was just putting the card. You know, you put it under the tab. Yeah. Was just putting it in the existing pile and somehow had a really good knowledge of friction.

504.201 - 530.88 Rusty

like you know if you like fold two phone books together you can't pull them apart yeah even though there's nothing holding it she would put it in there and so technically it wouldn't the card wouldn't fall out but it's not adding any pressure interesting to the tab and so i called her out on it who is this i think it might have been leah you can ask her she's cooked and uh and then unbeknownst to me the landlord had texted lauren like you know time to wrap it up yeah

531.56 - 553.473 Rusty

Because apparently there was a baby blow. And Lauren just phrased it to me like, come on, let's go to the bars. Tell everyone we're going to the bars. And so I started going around being like, hey, all right, we're going to go to the bars. And it wasn't really making any... No one was really listening. Yeah, it wasn't sticking. And so Lauren was like, make an announcement. You did do it. Twice.

553.593 - 572.684 Rusty

But so my thought was like, Lauren's going to be... Twice got everyone's attention and announced a bar that was closed. But Lauren... I thought Lauren was going to be standing behind me and it was going to be very clear that this guy... Like, Lauren, he's doing this on behalf of Lauren, the host of the party.

Chapter 5: What are the craziest things that happened during their latest outings?

593.681 - 613.765 Rusty

And then no one followed me. And so I was thinking about it the next day like... Because there were a handful of people I didn't know there that would have just been like, who's that guy that just announced the party was over and then left? You guys were like five seconds behind me, but that was the most embarrassed I've been in a while. Being in the elevator, just like fucking...

0

614.706 - 629.317 Rusty

no one respects me the well the funniest part too is that the bar you announced literally was not open what bar did i say no i think it was open it was just dead it was closed oh it was actually close yeah um we we ubered there and then but i actually yeah the other yeah

0

629.918 - 631.16 Leah

No, I want summer.

0

631.18 - 642.037 Jack

Dude, Hanano was crazy that night. Someone got a chair thrown at his head. Oh, what? Did you guys see all this shit? It was when I went to go to the bathroom. You guys were sitting outside. There was this guy that was going.

0

642.057 - 662.143 Emily

There was. A guy with a backpack running around outside telling everyone that Elon Musk was going to shut down Hanano and telling the bouncers and coming up to people's tables and the bouncers were like, yo, yo, yo. He was being a total nuisance. Was he joking? No, he was off his rocker.

663.064 - 684.469 Emily

yeah but he looked like a normal guy which was like so he like when he walked up your table to the government yeah you give him the benefit of the doubt but like he wasn't clearly had something wrong with him yeah and he was like uh anyway and then i i went to the bathroom right just as we're waiting for the uber and in that time i guess someone fucking launched a chair at his head

685.309 - 706.399 Emily

and so he was like bleeding out and shit how did i miss and then and apparently one of my friends went up to the bouncer i was like should we call the police and they're like technically he hasn't committed a crime so there's nothing we could do and we're like no because he's bleeding out on the sidewalk oh like they were like should we call 9-1-1 meaning like to help the guy technically hasn't committed a crime well he's like oh

706.939 - 724.33 Katie

oh no not to arrest him like the guy I feel like launching a chair at someone is it sounds like he was like asking for it in the way that no one blamed the guy he's like come on yeah come on you won't you won't throw that chair at me what would compel you guys to throw a chair at someone the next day Elon Musk shut down I don't know so

724.93 - 735.877 Katie

I mean, hey, if it comes to that, me not being involved in politics is not going to be something you're going to worry about. I'm going to be leading the charge.

Chapter 6: What is the significance of Rube Goldberg machines?

849.358 - 849.918 Rusty

What happened?

0

849.978 - 869.411 Emily

What happened is I walked up and I was like, should we get a picture? And then your girlfriend said, yeah, I got it. And I said, no, don't worry about it. I got it. And then she said, it's Jack's card. And I said, oh, okay, then you got it. It was one picture. That seems way more believable. It was one picture. It wasn't eight guys. I wasn't like, get on the top. Come on, guys.

0

869.491 - 870.691 Emily

It was me and your girlfriend.

0

870.751 - 889.379 Katie

It was you and the guy who threw the chair. Yeah. Next round's on me, guys. um and i went out and threw a chair at that guy she told me that story and then she saw me write it down in my notes and then she backpedaled i was like wait maybe i i might have she was like yeah jack i might have like pushed back like twice i was like all right his card

894.5 - 912.749 Mike

Chapter 7: How can everyday phrases be reinvented?

1019.984 - 1024.528 Leah

Did you not see this, Will? So kind.

0

1024.548 - 1028.772 Emily

That's awesome, but that's also hysterical. Where do you get that?

0

1029.032 - 1030.253 Leah

I have no idea.

0

1031.835 - 1034.037 Mike

I like to think that he didn't have one lying around.

0

1034.477 - 1059.181 Rusty

that's what i i think he did he it's so the text exchange between lauren and ryan after that is truly one of the funniest things i've ever read because she lauren texted me it was like get ryan's address but don't but don't tell him that it's me asking and i was like i can't text him he's gonna think i'm like drone striking him like if i'm like probably probably would go to drones what are your coordinates and he so what did you text him one

1059.281 - 1074.564 Leah

Well, I just I just said, hi, what's your address? And he goes, he wanted to know why. So I don't go over to his house and kill him. And I was like, don't worry about it. And then and then he eventually gave it to me. And I was like, yeah, I just want to like send or he goes, oh, you're thanking us for the mortar and pestle. I said, yeah.

1075.618 - 1102.816 Leah

now now now it's funnier than now that well i don't i don't i don't know how to recite it but um i just feel like that's like a thoughtful thing to do and like it's funny to be like oh i'm gonna send a card that is awesome that's so nice i did yeah and i probably would have gone my whole life without buying a mortar and pestle and now i what's the second one pestle mortar but you asked because i thought i was like i'm not gonna be the one guy who doesn't know what a pestle is mortar and pestle the pestle is the thing that you like wow

1103.616 - 1131.421 Jack

when we were at uh yeah i i you know i ordered you actually a bigger bowl right but i lost it i lost will and i actually chipped in on we bought all the ingredients for guacamole but we bought it way too early and it spoiled we ate them that's that's understandable and i bought you a hat and mia i bought you and mia one of those two-person hats for when you go out you guys go out together where it's connected so you never lose each other and you look great

1131.761 - 1132.481 Leah

Perfect.

Chapter 8: What new inventions do they come up with during the episode?

1184.881 - 1204.529 Rusty

you know it's like 11 feet long yeah my dad jerry-rigged like a a thing to hold my car seat on the back of his bike yeah when we were kids and it was like held together that's terrifying terrifying that's like the one thing you don't you don't want to jerry-rig you want to be you want to have professionals bolt that in and it was like held together by those um

0

1206.53 - 1231.302 Rusty

like you know those like it's like a elastic rope with like two hooks on the end that like every dad has in the garage yeah it was a bungee cord yeah so it was like just held together by a bunch of bungee cords yep and he said we were biking to church when i was a kid and the front one fell off and so the the seat went back and And I was like inverted. But I couldn't speak English yet.

0

1231.522 - 1244.026 Rusty

So I couldn't like... What were you speaking then? Taiwanese maybe. But he was like... There was no way for me to communicate what the problem was. And when you're biking, it's kind of hard to like...

0

1245.086 - 1268.644 Rusty

Assess the situation so he just heard like boom boom boom boom and it was my head hitting the back tire I was wearing a helmet with my head hitting the back tire and he was like thankfully we were like around a corner so my mom Couldn't see it yet because he was like 50 yards in front of her He was like I got it back fixed by the time she came around the corner and we had to like pretend we were just waiting for her

0

1269.705 - 1270.326 Leah

Oh, that's so funny.

1270.346 - 1275.154 Rusty

That explains so much. I know. One time... His head was hit on a bike tire ten times.

1275.194 - 1275.795 Leah

No, that makes sense.

1275.855 - 1282.126 Rusty

As a little child. I mean, that is... It's all connected. He actually got, like...

1283.504 - 1308.197 Rusty

got me to hit my head like a lot when i was a kid when i was got me to like he like egged you on no no like like it was like completely his fault multiple times there was one time we were snowmobiling and the plow had pushed all the snow into just like the perfect jump yeah in the world in our driveway and so we were coming back across the pond there's like a pond that when it freezes you can go out on there and like dick around
