02:42two monologues this week a very rare weird christitutionalist podcast week of shows let's get
02:52in back from a couple years ago bob moog interview joining me today is bob moog not to be confused with if
03:05you remember a few months ago robert the boogeyman boog who we talked about controversies about shakespeare
03:15all these centuries later not robert b-o-o-g bob bob b-o-b moog m-o-o-g and he is one of the most
03:29recognizable people in the toy and game industry he is the founder of university games the largest
03:35independent game and puzzle company in the u.s top products from the company include smart ass game
03:43murder mystery party games children games featuring dog man pete the cat eric carl and richard scary
03:53but i mainly have them here today to discuss this for those of you looking at behind the scenes you can
04:03see me holding up the box of the game called am i the ass the game and i will hold
04:12really close to the camera move my finger so you could maybe get the qr code to see their video
04:22about the game but before i ask bob anything and ask him to go into the game i'm not sure if we need
04:32an nc-17 on this episode but it definitely needs at least a pg-13 so get the kids out of the room
04:42for this one it's gonna be an interesting ride as we just got this am i yes the game as i am holding up
04:53also by way of a joke i've seen bob's picture before today so behind the scenes you can see both of our
05:05heads which is why i'm wearing for the benefit of the audio only shows and the transcript my shirt
05:14with a body like this who needs hair welcome to the show bob how are you bet you weren't expecting
05:22an intro like that huh i've never had an intro saying let's brag about our baldness
05:29this is but i love it joseph i love it you know i i like to try to keep a sense of humor right
05:40things are so serious we need to keep a sense of humor so while this is a very serious christian show
05:49most of the time we've got to keep a sense of humor and now with that warning out of the way i want to
06:00hold it up again because i coined the term several years ago mass holes for the masses of asses out there
06:11so hashtag mass holes for this episode and indeed are are you one of the masses of asses out there
06:21we're gonna delve into that today and i am rushing this show to air february 5th because i want you to go
06:31to amazon and pick up this game for valentine's night while the game says from two to five players
06:40i suggest you get together as couples and play as couples two to five couples valentine's night
06:51now with that setup why don't we do the usual first thing though first bob where were you born and
07:01raised and all that right cue the who song who are you who i love that song
07:10i uh the who's my favorite band that's great i saw them in 1972 uh when they were on their
07:16quadrophenia tour at uh the arena in st louis missouri where i grew up and interesting so you're
07:25from the state of misery i mean missouri i'm from the state of missouri and i am a fourth generation
07:33missourian and uh went to public school there at clayton high school and i was a greyhound
07:39the clayton greyhounds and uh i then moved for college out to california and uh have been living
07:46here ever since but my roots are in missouri and in the midwest well then the obvious next question
07:53before we get into the game has got to be how far are you from the fires i am 320 miles from the fires
08:03so i'm in good shape i'm in san francisco my house is safe my family is safe uh i do have friends in
08:10los angeles and it's nasty down there but you know every part of the country gets something there's
08:16hurricanes there's tornadoes everybody gets something so this is a tragedy and it's really
08:22sad it's far from me but uh you know they will rebuild once this all gets done just like they do in
08:29florida when they have the hurricanes it's okay without further ado tell us the premise of am i
08:38the ass tm the game okay so when you invent board games there's different categories and we're really
08:50really um known for doing preschool games and party games and we've done many party games over the
08:59years including uh games like smart ass and games like worst case scenario for survival and we were
09:07the originators of murder mystery parties but about a year and a half ago someone in our company said
09:13have you seen this trend online of people posting situations where they may have behaved badly and
09:23asking the question am i the ass or am i the asshole and then having other people who they don't know
09:30just crowdsource responses and create a dialogue and i said no i've never seen that let me look into it
09:38and we found out that on reddit and on facebook there's millions of people the numbers are close
09:45to 30 million people who participate in writing and reading these situations and giving their their you
09:53know their desktop psychiatrist you know responses to whether someone is or isn't an asshole and we
10:02thought what if we could make this a take-at-home version and so we decided to figure out a way to do
10:09it so that everybody in the country with the computer without could play the game yeah there's the tokens
10:16behind the scenes that you win if you get an answer right i don't want to go into a bunch of questions
10:23but i did look at the first one so i will mention that but before we do that my audience knows i can
10:32never pass on the lame pun so to go along with mass holes the hashtag here's something else you can
10:40use too a couple things one you know the saying your mileage may vary well since we're kind of dealing
10:51with morality here i coined for your game regional morality may vary that's good no i think that's great
11:01joseph yeah because there can be a question here where somebody from new york would say not only is
11:08this appropriate for a 12 year old i want my 12 year old to know about condoms and then someone in a
11:14different part of the country might say that's totally inappropriate especially the bible belt
11:19right especially with this show obviously so yeah that's why i also suggest maybe you do
11:27regional versions of the game mivs the bible belt mivs midwest or western states or liberals or
11:40conservatives that way you know that the survey questions are from what group yeah so you can
11:48because the point is you are to guess what indeed the average person out there says kind of like
11:57family feud right yes survey says right you're very that's exactly right the way the game plays it's
12:04important for people to know how the game plays the way the game plays is each player gets an assometer
12:09and the assometer is a is a is an arrow on a card yeah you're holding it out and you choose whether
12:1725 percent 50 percent 75 percent or 100 percent of the people who we surveyed like family feud said that
12:26this person was an asshole and the way you win the game is by correctly guessing what our survey said was
12:32the right answer not what you think is the right answer and our survey was a national survey with people
12:39urban and rural conservative and liberal old and young men and women it's a cross-section of 500
12:46americans and um so it could fall anywhere right so it could fall anywhere so it it there are some where
12:56i've i've done the cards and we read them and the person is a 25 year old woman and she has the
13:04opposite answer of a 45 year old man they just see the world through different eyes so it invites
13:12great conversation and the conversation is really what makes this a incredibly great game am i yes not
13:19about being right or wrong it's about having the conversation afterwards right and it's why i suggest
13:24people rush to amazon buy a copy and play as two to five couples on valentine's evening you're gonna have
13:35trouble getting in somewhere to eat anyway spend 24.99 instead for am i the ass the game order a pizza
13:45and you'll get a hell of a lot more fun and you'll learn more about your potential spouse than perhaps you
13:55ever really wanted to know or thought you might know in the process that's why i suggest yeah two to
14:04two or four two three four couples get together for this that's why i'm rushing this episode out before
14:14valentine's day joseph i'd love to read you one that proves the point you just made i i want to read
14:21you read yours first the top one now okay see the the meters at the bottom i don't want to give away
14:28the answer you're supposed to take out the card and put it in the am i the ass the game holder so that
14:38it sits on the table and everybody can read it back after the initial person reads it i don't want to
14:45read this whole thing i just want to say because i was at frank's pizza the other day hey buttons
14:53talking to her about the game and her and her boyfriend and the just so happens the first card
15:03deals with eloping
15:06and her and her boyfriend are like whoa we gotta play this game i'm giving a copy to her
15:19next weekend when i see her at frank's pizza
15:22well button will be excited to get that yeah buttons what's fyi we call her buttons because you
15:30know like tgi fridays they wear all the different buttons uh so she's the only one there that wears a
15:38bunch of different buttons and we've donated her a couple of different buttons so we i i just call her
15:45buttons that's great at any rate but yeah i mean the elope question to me is perfect in this well
15:57that answer might be way different in vegas right then it would be michigan or hennessy or georgia
16:10so how do you guess behavior that makes you an ass in georgia may not make you an ass in las vegas
16:20it might be okay in las vegas would you like me to read one and you can and you can guess what our
16:26survey said is that okay do you feel like doing that sure if you want to do that i don't want to
16:30give away a bunch of the cards no no no we'll just we'll just read one or two so that gives people a
16:37sense of it and this is one where men and women might answer very differently am i the ass for
16:44wanting to look at my husband's computer and browsing history my husband 39 year old male has started
16:52staying up late claiming he's doing work on his computer instead of coming to bed with me when i
16:58tried to log in yesterday i found he changed the password without telling me my friend who works in
17:03it offered to install spyware to capture his keystrokes and get the new password i know it's deceitful
17:11but something feels off so am i the asshole am i the ass for wanting to look at my husband's computer
17:18and browsing history what do you think the the people said do you think 25 50 75 or 100 said
17:26as a former it guy and as someone who is while still wearing my writing went what can't still can't
17:38talk still wearing my wedding ring but a divorcee uh issues really because of health and all that but
17:47still love my ex-wife to death we just could never live under the same roof together anymore
17:53right you've got to be honest with each other or your foundation of your marriage is shit so i would
18:04say that's a low end no why is he keeping secrets right so the the the survey said you have to trust the
18:14husband and so 100 said if she was to put spyware on his computer that would be she would be an ass for
18:24doing that because she has to trust him if you don't trust him then you don't have a relationship
18:29so it's sort of the same thing you were saying but they came out with a different solution yeah i i could
18:35see that answer that other end because now he's being deceitful she rather than confronting him to
18:45have another conversation right is being an ass according i'm also being deceitful by being deceitful
18:53yes it doesn't mean that he's not an ass when you play this game sometimes both people are
18:59but you're just you're just you're just we're just asking the survey group to pick the person you
19:03know who's the the in the first person on this um i absolutely love this game let me give you one
19:13more we won't we won't do the whole box there's 200 in the game let me let me give you this next one
19:18just because it shows the breadth of the kinds of material that yeah and and people who are viewing
19:24the show we're listening now have a cheat they're kind of an ass because they're cheating they know
19:33the answer that's why i didn't want to go into these we're only going to do a couple let's do the
19:40question but let's not give the answer okay am i am i the ass for asking to split the bill after
19:48deciding that i was no longer interested on a date i asked a girl out on a date and we
19:54had a good time but as the night went on i decided i wasn't interested in pursuing anything further
19:59she ordered several drinks which i didn't mind at first by the end of the night i felt it was a bit
20:05much when the bill came i asked to split it with her she looked surprised and didn't offer to pay her
20:11half which made me wonder if i was being rude so we won't say the answer but is this person an ass for
20:19a male going out with a woman is he an ass for asking her to split the bill these without getting
20:27into my answer these are absolute societal norm situations now people are needing to deal with
20:40and it's great for like maybe there should also be an am i asked older folks version right right but i
20:48could see all kinds of different sub versions of this and indeed those discussions older people to then
21:00understand the younger generation and the younger generation understanding the actual morals that used
21:09to exist and seem to have completely gone out with the you know baby and the bathwater out the
21:17window these days i mean i i have said this mockingly or jokingly but maybe there's some truth to it
21:24that if the whole country would spend less time dealing with all the conflicts that everyone has and all
21:31the emotion and just play am i the ass we would have a much happier better adjusted country because
21:38people would be able to talk through their differences without taking it personally they
21:42would be able to talk about it yeah in terms of the survey group instead instead of what they think
21:46and um so maybe that's what will happen we'll start getting am i the ass versions into congress we'll
21:53start getting it into churches and temples we'll start getting it into schools and every we use it as a
21:59conversation piece constitutionalist politics i absolutely positively gotta see a morality version for the
22:09morons on capitol hill they're definitely they are definitely asses congressional version right
22:19completely rename it not even a question they are a bunch of asses but uh to back up
22:28again only 24.99 at amazon right probably do you sell it direct at you university games.com
22:39no we have another website that's a sister company called are you game.com a-r-e-y-o-u-g-a-m-e.com
22:50are you game and they sell um all of the university games products including am i the ass and um
22:58it's really easy to get to they also they also will ship same day yeah order it again i'm dropping
23:07this on the fifth uh you can have it by the sixth and uh the other thing for valentine's day plenty
23:15of time yeah yeah and the other thing too i had forgotten the other joke i was gonna add and
23:21and also you can exactly see why i immediately came up with regional morality may vary i expect to see
23:31that on a future box free of charge i i i my gift to you as well as if you as well as if you want to use
23:42my hashtag mass holes okay but the other joke i was gonna say you do you remember sir mix a lot
23:52sure sure right i like big he's got to be your spokesperson and do a parody of i like major
24:04asses and i cannot lie right i can see the commercial now
24:09that's funny sir mix a lot i had forgotten all about him yeah so we had a who mentioned and a
24:19sir mix a lot mentioned
24:21like i say i never script my shows never know what rabbit hole's gonna open up you mentioned you like
24:33the who so since we're talking music who else are some of your favorite artists well the who has
24:41always been my favorite band but um i'm a big big um springsteen fan which most people are i really
24:51like van morrison um who's working with elvis at the uh local burger king here in kalamazoo
24:58according to song still yeah i think so i uh i'm um i mean i like a lot of bands i liked the cars when
25:07they were active uh i i i listened to a lot of um you know rolling stones i'm a i'm a billy joel fan
25:17i kind of like you know old rock and roll is what i like um and that's what i listen to okay i went to
25:24see the dylan movie did you have you seen the dylan movie no i i am not a dylan fan i have
25:30it absolutely zero i am a big movie buff so i see movies all the time and of course for
25:38christitutionalist politics podcast i had to see the piece of crap conclave movie and it is exactly
25:48exactly what i was expecting a complete attack on christianity mainly the catholic church but you
25:56know dan brown movies and books i had no problem with because he actually brought people to christ
26:07and the bible you know what of this is fact and what of it is fiction he actually brought people to
26:15christ and conclave in my opinion i give it a d minus is all about attacking christianity again
26:25and one of the reasons why i felt called to create this show obviously to defend the whole bible in full
26:36context not the twists and distortions but so hey we covered music and movies too
26:44a couple of my favorite uh topics that again you know probably not going to get this on any other
26:51show that that talks to you right i don't think so not any others that i've ever that i've ever done i
26:58went to a concert in uh eid park in london which was i think the best concert i ever saw it was neil young
27:05and oh another one i'm not a fan of well two hours in he's playing the beatles song um
27:14and end of your life or whatever and paul mccartney walks out on stage and plays with him and that was
27:22pretty cool day in the life day in the life yeah sorry yeah i do like the beatles i did like the beatles
27:30uh my parent my dad ted leonard jr founder of ted leonard jr and the polka kings so growing up
27:39musical family yeah country polka pop rock heavy metal uh i'm into everything because of my father
27:51you know and his musical nature so yeah and i pride myself in having a very different kind of show so
28:00people learning about you more more maybe than you'd even like right it's fine i'm an open book so as long
28:11as we play games and enjoy what we're doing oh no no you're not an open book you you're you're all
28:18well laid out game board that's good joseph
28:23at any rate so like i said in the email i usually do 30 minute shows i think we'll probably go closer
28:37to a full hour here i mean let's let's talk about smart ass okay with some of the other games i know
28:46you you brought props so let's show a few of those and talk about those well smart ass this is what
28:55the box looks like this is available at target and on amazon and a lot of other places it's um a game
29:02that we started it's it's 2025 now we started it 15 years ago and the idea of the game was what if you
29:11had a game where every player knew the answer to every question but the trick was to see who could
29:17get to the question first and so i thought about this for a couple of years i said trivial pursuits
29:25great but a lot of people are intimidated by it and also there's always that one guy who's the smart
29:31ass who knows all the answers and that makes it not fun for other people so how about if we could come up
29:37with a game where people it was more about how fast you could come up with the answer than knowing
29:42the answer and we created this game called smart ass and the way it works is there are eight clues
29:48describing a well-known person place or thing and everybody playing will know the answer you will have
29:56heard of elvis presley or you will have heard of chicago or kalamazoo but the trick is based on the
30:02clues who can yell it out first and what we found is we have this fantastic game that's really um
30:09accessible to people of all ages and all backgrounds because we've made the answers so universal and um
30:18so i'm going to give you one right now okay well before we do that i i can't resist yes like here
30:26here's my question because again another i love this promise but my question has got to be
30:34why are you so weird to come up with these things okay that's a good question so i will tell you
30:42i grew up in st louis missouri as we talked about earlier i'm the oldest of five kids and growing up
30:50my parents both worked they were gone a lot so i needed to find ways to entertain the little kids
30:57and what i did is i would come up with um card games and different kinds of games that a five-year-old
31:05could play a six-year-old could play a nine-year-old could play and an 11-year-old could play not bore the
31:11crap of the 11-year-old at the same time yeah right and what i learned is that a good game has a mixture
31:18of luck and skill if it's all skill the older child will always win if it's all luck the older
31:25child doesn't care so i learned that as a as a kid like when i was you know 10 to 15 years old
31:32and then when i went to college i started a thing um a trivia bowl where i wrote and collected thousands
31:42of questions and it was like the old college bowl quiz that used to be on when when i was a kid
31:48and basically there would be two teams of four and i moderated and i would ask questions and i went to
31:54school at stanford and this was like the only activity that the students and the faculty and
32:00the staff all participated in that was fun you know everything else was academic um or drinking
32:08or something else and uh so i did it and i found that people loved it and we were able to fill
32:14auditoriums and that's how i got so weird is starting when i was 10 11 years old inventing games
32:20i just it's in my it's in my genes now you know okay now you were going to get an example from the
32:29smart ass game let's go ahead so the smart ass game the way it would normally play is we would
32:34have a group of four to six people and i would say i am a person i could be living or dead real or
32:41fictional male or female and i also could be um a group like the beatles would be under people person
32:49okay so here we go and you just yell out the answer when you think you know it you only get one guess
32:56but you can yell it after one clue or after all eight clues i am best known as a singer
33:02i became famous for knowing my abcs my michael jackson michael jackson you got it after two
33:10clues that's fantastic go ahead and give the rest of the clues now that i spoiled it you get easier as
33:17you go my pop group got its start at motown i have five brothers and the oldest is germane
33:22my nickname was the king of pop i was known for moonwalking i created a thriller in 1982
33:31who am i with the initials mj yeah now obviously you couldn't have picked a better setup question
33:40to make me look good because of course i'm in detroit right motown
33:47so you're gonna know that one all right you want to try one more this one is a what
33:53what am i oh yeah show me choose one that'll make me look stupid okay hopefully this will make
34:01you look stupid joseph but if it doesn't i apologize what am i there are i'm a thing
34:07there are infinite ways i can be put together some say i was invented by british royalty you might bring
34:15me to school a rector set no i am often around at lunchtime you need bread to have me oh a sandwich
34:25okay oh very good yeah no i got over eager over anxious and indeed i made an ass of myself right
34:37tried to be a smart ass yeah so we have where am i what am i and and who am i and when you play the
34:46game there's a game board that comes with the game and um the goal is to be the person who is the smart
34:53ass by winning the game and you get to move forward based on the role of a die um when you answer
34:58correctly oh okay so it's not uh not tokens like the am i the smart ass am i the ass okay there's the
35:08smart ass and smart ass is sold all over the place it's in target um it's in meyer stores you're in
35:16michigan it would be in meyer it would be um on amazon it's at are you game.com which is um our
35:23sister company uh it's at barnes and noble you can go pretty much anywhere and get smartest because
35:29it's been out for a long time and it's kind of a perennial now we sell over 300 000 copies a year
35:35of smartest it's a it's a bestseller yeah and i i don't remember now but there used to be a computer
35:46game called you don't know jack yes i remember that for some reason that's kind of making a
35:54connection with me here and and being an it guy uh you know i love games on the computers as opposed to
36:03necessarily the board itself or whatever because like i took the categories game do you remember that
36:13absolutely you had the die it only had what five or six consonants on it i computerized it and
36:22add additional consonants so you could play that game a whole lot longer because otherwise you run
36:29out of words right absolutely i i understand that's you're exactly right any the reason computer games are
36:38great and there's nothing wrong with them and they sell great what we're trying to do at university
36:42games is create social interactive experiences where people are talking to each other and getting to
36:48know each other better so they're both really great but we're trying to do something that's um more
36:54interpersonal with our business which is perfect as discussed on this show you know right hold up the
37:05phone kids in the phone only on the phone how about you actually engage with real bleeping people for a
37:15change right one of the biggest one of the biggest things that we talk about at university games
37:22is having people talk to each other versus emailing and texting and it's amazing in a business with we
37:31we have i think 20 people 15 people here in san francisco people will be sitting within 10 yards of each
37:37other and instead of getting up and talking to each other they'll text each other and i say to them go talk
37:43to each other it guy develop that it guy so i yeah i i and get an email i'd walk over to the cubicle
37:54how about we actually have a discussion right exactly exactly no it's important and as with gen z and now alpha
38:05they're growing up as digital natives they're growing up with they think about a computer the way i think
38:12about a comb or i used to when i had hair and uh and i would always carry a comb in my pocket yeah
38:19and uh and that's how they are that it's just part of them and that means that they're spending more
38:27waking hours not interacting with people but just interacting with a machine than any prior generation
38:34so we're trying to counter that a little bit by making it so fun and so different than texting
38:40that people will want to do it yeah now obviously certain things should be put in an email so there's
38:48a record of it but yeah the art of conversation is lost the art of language lost because i gave the
38:59hashtag earlier right mass holes we're inventing words we're shortening words yolo we're abbreviating
39:10everything and half the time another part of the segment of society is like what the bleep is that
39:19mean right there's so many acronyms being used that they've lost their definition and you you someone
39:27said to me the other day um yeah i'll ping you on that well what the the you know as an it guy the
39:35derivation of ping goes back to a univac machine sending out a message to um another computer to
39:45receive it so that they could connect with each other and now people use it for phone i guess phone
39:51calls or emails i don't even know what i actually don't know what they meant when they were going to
39:55ping me in terms of how they were going to communicate with me one of the first main frames
40:00i worked on operated was a univac 60 40 you literally had the hard drives that would screw
40:10in and out the the card reader with all the cards get one card out of place whoa are you bleeped
40:20and you would do you would ping other computers with that wouldn't you that's where the term ping
40:27comes yeah yep absolutely yeah no it did not come from the you know what actually it might have been
40:36now that i think about it derived from ping pong because you get a ping right pinging each other to
40:45make sure you're visible to one another to make sure you get that connection and of course the old
40:52days i'm reaching over to grab my landline phone that i still have you know the old days where
41:00my desktop computer with the built-in modem would connect to the phone line and dial up your computer
41:10so that you could get the squawk sound and actually talk computer to computer well we're way off the beaten
41:19path here now well the point is since the world has gone that way we feel it's more important for
41:26us to create good games and also have people ask themselves the question am i the ass back to where
41:34we started yeah all right let's do you've got another prop with you i take it another game you could
41:42hold up um yeah i've got another one around here somewhere just a second i've got i have a kid's
41:51game i think well no i'm gonna do it an adult game i'm not gonna do it um this is called judge your
41:59friends oh i love it already and it actually has matthew seven judge not unless db day judge which there
42:08are more than those seven words remove the log from your own eye 12 other scriptures at least that
42:16tell you you are to judge people just that final judgment is for the lord it's really condemned not
42:24lest he be condemned condemned so a christian show i absolutely love that game already and you've not
42:34even said anything about it yet well judge your friends is a game where one player is the judge and
42:42actually gets a gavel there's a gavel in the game and every player playing gets guilty and not guilty cards
42:51and the way you play the game is you you are asked a question about something you may or may not
43:02have done in your life and you have to say i did it or i didn't do it and then the other players
43:08judge whether they think you're being truthful oh wow that could get some people in a lot of trouble
43:16right so here's an example of one the defendant we do it all in legal terms has gotten drunk with
43:26their parents and so it depends on what age you're playing with if you're playing with a 12 or 13 someone
43:32under 21 it's a little bit of a different thing and you have to say whether you're guilty or not guilty
43:38and then the judge um with the any player can take the gavel and say i disagree and then you have to fess up
43:46if you're lying or not you know what this brings to mind a uh a an actual board game version of kind of
43:56the never have i ever yes it's yeah the never have i ever is something people play but what's different
44:06in this game um is that you've got um a judge who and you're and you're keeping score and when you
44:15let me see if i can open this when you actually do the judging you have this guilty not guilty so
44:25the player who's asked the question takes one of these and puts them face down and then the other
44:30players vote on whether they think that they're guilty or not guilty and then the judge says whether
44:37they're telling the truth or not uh-huh well now that game has a whole other set of connotation though
44:44if you're playing with a liar are they lying about lying or right it becomes it can be it can
44:56become its own rabbit hole and you can go down it oh oh thank you so those are those are our big
45:05three for 2025 those three games that's great that's great but again really really i when i learned
