Hello, everybody. Welcome to another fine episode. I'm just guessing. The other ones have been fine, Wendy. So why wouldn't this be fine? It's the Bill and Wendy show. It's podcast number 53. Collect them all, flip them,

trade them with your friends. Hello, Wendy. Hello, William. How are you? There used to be

a thing with baseball cards. Now, you did or did not have baseball cards when you were a girl.

Did you collect them or not? You didn't? So they would always say, in did not have baseball cards when you were a girl. Did you collect them or not? No. You didn't?

Mm-mm.

So they would always say in any commercial for baseball cards, flip them or trade them with your friends. Now, the trade them part I got, you say, I've got this card, you've got that card, let's swap. But the flip them part never made sense to me. well like flip a, yeah, I guess you're not like rehabbing them like a house and then

but you're trying to get more money for them, aren't you?

Well, it's, no, as it turns out, it has nothing to do with the financial end of it.

What flip them meant was there was a game that kids

used to play where you would take your baseball card and you'd throw it up in the air and if it landed

face up, you got to keep it. But if it landed face down, you had to give it to the other kid.

Oh, the games of yesteryear. Yeah. Yeah. It's one of those games that when people figured it out, they just went, why would we do that?

What if I flipped 100 cards and they all landed face down?

I lose my collection and that kid's got all my cards.

It's ridiculous.

How was your 4th of July?

How did everything turn out?

Great.

First of all, we went to my in-laws on 4th of July because I have married into a

pyrotechnics family. Oh. Yeah, I have never been one to, I guess I did the sparklers and snakes

when I was a little kid. I have a punk burn on my left upper thigh from when I was little because I guess I'd do the little,

what were those little baby firecrackers called?
