Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

My friends, a couple of nights ago, me and my bestie Adam did a, I keep calling them

panic rooms, but they're called it escape rooms. You know what they are, right? You go into a room. Sure, it's so silly. I'm new to

escape rooms. I feel like everybody else knows what they are. But if you don't, if you were like me,

you essentially pay for an hour to go into a room that has a theme and you have to break your way out

using a series of clues. They're fun, they're different. My friend Adam introduced me to

them. But this is not about escape rooms, today's pod episode. Today's pod episode is about

connect four that is in the waiting room of the escape rooms. Don't you love those big connect fours?

You know, they're almost like life size.

You see them sometimes in hotel lobbies or if you go to any kind of fun interactive events,

especially in Miami, they have them in the parks, like those big, big games where you can put the pieces of Connect 4 around your wrist.

Like that's how big the hoops are.

Anyway, Adam and I were playing Connect 4 before we went into our escape room.

And let me tell you something, okay?

I am mean.

I am mean when it comes to this game.

I aim to win.

I take no prisoners.

And look, I just love it.

I've always loved Connect 4. I think because

it's quick. The game is quick. It's not drawn on. And I don't know, just fun, right? Good old

fashion. Good old clean fun. But as Adam was playing, he hasn't played as much as me over the years.
