Games People Play (Badly)

from We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know-Life Laughed

We're in a Camper and Nobody AskedSue and Lisa are recording from a camper, fresh off graduation season and still handing out $20 bills. Today's topic: games — and everything that can go wrong when you play them with the people you love.Chapter 1 Cheaters, Quitters & the Guy Who Takes the Elevator Up KilimanjaroEvery game table has a type — the cheater, the quitter, the ultra-competitive, the clueless one — and Sue and Lisa have met all of them. As retired teachers, they have strong feelings about tenacity, and a Kilimanjaro story that will tell you everything about a person in four seconds.Chapter 2 Our Moms Said WHAT?!From "Wiener liquor" in the backseat to a sweet grandma being called a lying whore mid-Bullsh#! game, their moms and grandmas in this episode steal every story. Turns out the funniest game moments almost always involve someone's mother who had no idea what she was signing up for.Chapter 3 Weird Games You Need to Play ImmediatelySue and Lisa recommend Gartic Phone, Hues & Cues, Mrs. Mumbles, and the Quantum Leap same-word game — and they actually play one live on air. No equipment required, no losers, just a good crowd and low expectations.Chapter 4 Fuzzy Duck, Dog Collars & Other Things That Should Not Be LegalQuarters, Fuzzy Duck, and one electric dog collar incident that escalated faster than anyone planned. These are the games nobody teaches you — you just end up playing them at a party and hope everyone makes it to adulthood.Chapter 5 Put Down Your Phone and Play SomethingSue and Lisa want your best game recommendations — especially anything that works across generations.
