Or the big toys that you loved when you were a kid that you think maybe would still work with kids today?

I think there are still kids that love figures, especially Star Wars figures. You've got even Transformers that are still popular out there. I think figures still stand the test of time. Yeah, I think Legos is

probably one of the big ones too. Yes. A sit and spin. Does anybody do that anymore? I love

sit and spin. You old? Yeah, I have not seen a sit and spin the longest

time. And the thing that I hated, because I was a fat kid, I was too heavy, and I couldn't get the thing to spin. I think I remember one time I snapped the wheel off on it because it just wouldn't turn my fat body. That's sad. Yeah, there's kind of a weight limit on that. Fat kids know about sit and spins. It was really kind of

a cool joke. There was an other one,

that bouncy one, that big one you'd sit on,

you'd bounce down the little toy aisle. You know what I'm talking about? Yes. The kids don't like those, right? Are those out of... No, I think those are definitely still fun. But I know you think they're fun, but you're old, like we think they're fun to the kids. What about slinkies? Hell no, kids don't like those. You know, I saw something amazing the other day, though, and was a guy, and he had one of those kind of like rainbow plastic slinkies, and it was one of those things you ever seen in the mall where they had, like, those displays, and somebody's kind of showing you the toy and how to do it. Well, this guy takes the slinky and there's kind of like some dance music playing and he starts moving this thing and it was mesmerizing. I don't know how he was doing these like slinky tricks. It was going all over the place. It was flying around and it looked like a psychedelic trip. He had a slinky routine.

He had a slinky routine. It was unbelievable. And it's like going, so this is what you're supposed to be doing with slinky. The way this guy was moving it, it was unreal. You're supposed to go down the stairs with him. Yeah, but this guy, what he was doing with it, it was a whole new level. And I remember that. Like, when I was a kid, I walked through the mall all the time, and they'd have those guys, they'd have a demonstration. They'd be showing something like the rainbow slinky. I remember the one thing that got me when I was a kid. It was like that styrofoam plane. And there was a guy at the mall, and he was throwing it. thing was doing all these loop-de-loops, and it'd come right back to him and all these tricks.

And I remember I got it, and I took it home, and I threw it, and it went right about five feet, dove right into the ground, and snapped in half. It was always too expensive. I always wanted it. Because my dad would always go out, would have four kids with us. and, you know, they were, they're kind of,

they even had ones that had little motors on it.

Do you remember that?

No. always go out, would have four kids with us. And, you know, they were, they were kind of, they even had ones that had little motors on it. Do you remember that? No, I don't remember those. Small little moments that would go kind of. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, they were expensive as well. They say there are 10 toys that parents and their kids are still playing with today that were big back in the day. Play-Doh. Awesome. Yes. Mr. Potato Head. Love them. Troll dolls. Okay. My Little Pony. Furby. Puzzles. A toy phone. Bop-It. What's Bop-It? Bopit? Bop it?

So Bop it is on the list

I don't know what that is.

Little is starting to lose me.
