Wheels the kind you you ride yourself no.

Hot Wheels are the little toys right but. when I read this for the first time I. thought big wheels and I was like yes. big hot wheels are the best toy ever cuz. I was thinking big wheels she means. match matchbox car match box toys yes. I'm talking like something crazy yeah. please don't do that big wheels I'm kind. of vote that's my second vote big wheels. ham lover 17 says best toy ever is Nerf. guns you can shoot people legally. without any chance of murder I think. there's still a slim chance of murder it. has happened my uncle was killed by Nerf.

gun oh sorry sorry to bring that one up. then Jer 626 says teddy bears you can't. sleep with a Lego at night when you are. sick and having bad dreams well you. could well I'm I'm just not sure if the. standard by which we should judge the. greatness of toys is whether or not you. can sleep with them yeah that's a good. point yeah that's U that's not where. we're going my first toy ever was a. teddy bear though it was first first toy. stuffed animals to me I don't even. consider them a toy yeah they're just. friends but you.

the closest thing you've got to friends. Sarah Lynn said I'm a child of the 90s. so I'd have to say Tickle Me Elmo haha I. love that stupid doll I'm sure it must. have drove my parents crazy colon p I. think that's like her sticking out her. tongue. yeah I'll read the next one yeah go you. want to talk about Elmo I want to talk. about the best toy ever all right I'll. get through these in extra 350 the best. toy ever hands down would be imagination.

uh this must be a kid who I grew up in a. have toys not only can you create a toy. out of anything using imagination. without imagination all of the toys. would be useless hm that gives us. something to think about yeah okay Ken. says the best toy ever is a lightsaber. until you hit someone they start to cry. and it's taken away and put on top of. the refrigerator must have happened to. this. person sir Watts gives a gives a great. and final argument a ball consider how. many hours of our youth we spent playing.

with or coveting. balls plus grown-ups including Jason's. last come on. man were you laughing too no I was just. going like this you were you laughing. inside grown-ups including some of the. best paid grown-ups on the planet still. play with balls this is true many many. sports revolve around some sort of. ball yeah there's people who make a. living playing balls.

all right the best toy ever according to. the comments as we move along Legos. Legos far away the winner Miss we says. Legos are the best toys if you don't. count iPhones which is a good point. first class digital says the best toy. ever is Legos because you can create. anything anything or any any amount of. things okay Danny and Jackie says Legos. because not only is it the possibility. of creation endless but they also have a. legol land which is pretty freaking. awesome now you first of all just before. we move on you're kind of you I.

discovered a couple years ago uh when we. went to Legoland with our families yep. which is pretty freaking awesome you. called it Legoland legol land like l a y. go o I've been trying not to say that. cuz I knew you're point this out and. you're kind of still saying it it's Lego. like leg like I have a leg and I to Let. It Go play I play with Legos as a kid. and I called them Legos like L like l a. y go well no like maybe like the. Hawaiian necklace of flowers but I hear.

a lot it's Legos it's not Legos it's. Legos Jerry Jamal Lego. myo Lego yeah he says everyone is saying. Legos but in Australia we call it. collectively just Lego Legos or Legos is. a brand of pasta sauce actually maybe. that's what everyone's talking. about no it's not we're talking so in. Australia that's pasta so you got to. call it Lego so everybody says in the.

comments that's the best toy ever it. spans the generations you know as a kid. I play with Legos and our kids play with. Legos yeah and and it's and they're not. any less cool than they were they're not. any less engaging than they were back. then they're more cool and more engaging. I would say I mean now there's the LEGO. store there's the Lego Land we didn't. have that we just had wal we didn't have. Walmart we had roses you go to roses MH. or brindle even brindle and You' get the. Lego thing and now they've got all the.

places just dedicated specifically to. Legos kids are spoiled and all the. different themes we didn't have Star. Wars Legos like my kids have but you can. but the great thing about Legos is that. anything that exists any property that. exists out there in the world whether it. be Star Wars or Harry Potter or whatever. that people are in love with a franchise. if they work out some kind of legal deal. all of a sudden there could be a Lego. representation of that thing so it's. like Legos are so versatile they. piggyback on other amazing things that.

people are into you can't do that with. the Rubik's Cube and it and it kind of. like the Rubik's Cube it has this. illusion of educational value oh my. son's going to be an engineer because. he's playing with the Legos M are you. Bill Cosby all of a I've got I got an. engineering degree only because I used. to play with the. Legos I'm trying to do it hey hey Rudy. you want to come play with some Legos. one day you could be a doctor that's. pretty good link yeah let's do that in.

another video it's almost there's a. little Owen Wilson in there. too I Cosby and Owen. Wilson bill can I continue yeah go ahead. Phil can I continue yes uh I think that. not only are they so versatile but you. do have this sense that you're. accomplishing something you know I. couldn't you built something say look at. this I made this yeah with with a slinky. for instance which is a popular toy it's. just like you used it for a day and then. it got one of those little turns in it. and you're just like screw this and you.

got rid of it Slinky becomes the kinkly. right and then with Rubik's Cube you're. like I'm not a genius and you just throw. it and start using it as something else. right and a weapon and then but with. Legos anybody can create anything and. you can accomplish something and and. this is where there's you know we've. already established there's a lot of. differences between the two of us but I. think the way that we engaged with Legos. as kids highlights a major difference I. don't even remember you having Legos. exactly I had them but they were just. kind of thrown around my room and.

sometimes like people would I never got. like the packs and if I was given like. an actual set you ever hand me downs. from your brother I would just like take. it and create something totally original. this is what my kids do like. grandparents buy our kids sets the set. and they never finish them they like. might do like one little bag and then. they just all get put together and then. lock like starts and he like created a. Happy Mother's Day Lego thing from from. my wife that was pretty awesome but it. was just like completely original it was.

like 17 different sets when I go when I. would go over to your house as a kid you. would have like the pristine like. spaceships everything was perfectly put. together and like displayed like next to. the box like caddy Corder to the box. like here's the Box here's the Lego set. and here's what it looks like it was. like a store it was like your house was. a Lego store but that wouldn't let you. touch them and it wouldn't even let me. play with them no he was like no I've. already done that one no no no don't. don't touch that one I was like dude. this for playing break your spaghetti. fingers man yeah you you break break my. stuff and you know with my kids I wanted.

to make a point to to break the cycle. because I do recognize there was. something wrong with you know just. building it and putting it on display. toys are made to be played with to be to. be touched and and destroyed and rebuilt. I never did that so I actually when my. kids build a set after they go to sleep. at night I go in there and I I dismantle. no no you don't well I have some of that. have been up there a while do they know. this like on a Shelf I've taken them. down and said oh they don't need that.

they think the Lego monster comes in. there and takes them apart they they. forget about it that's the point they. don't even know it's there but the the. bigger set some sets now you can build. three different things so I at least. make them take it apart okay you've had. that one now play with it while and do. something else with it or and then. there's I've got the big bin that I. never had that had all the Legos just. thrown in there and they supposed to. create their own masterpieces yeah that. then I destroy once they go to sleep I. like that cuz it's teaching that cuz. first of all I think there's a. compromise I think that the way that I.

did it which was you didn't even build. the set I didn't finish the set so I. think kids need the satisfaction of. having a plan and a goal and getting. through and being able to say I. accomplish this but not just to put it. up on some shelf and just display it. they need they need to take a picture of. it whatever to to save the memory they. need to take it apart and build. something original because they need to. learn how to create original things at. the same time I mean there's people more. extreme than I was as a child I've heard. of parents super gluing these sets.

together I tried that you tried what. with one set about two years ago I told. lo I was like I'm tired of these Legos. being all over the place you've got so. many extra Legos let's build a set and. let's glue it as we go and I got on like. page seven and I did it wrong and you. glued it wrong I totaled the Lego made. me spit on myself it's like working on a. car and like breaking something that you. can't fix it's like I was like oh well. let's just that's why they don't give. you super glue with this I don't. recommend gluing Legos unless you're.

really good and don't make mistakes well. I think that's funny but I think it's. even more funny that you couldn't even. build a set correctly yeah I could I. couldn't even do it you have an. engineering degree just like I do I. don't have an engineering degree in. Legos well point take it okay let's end. this. episode oh break out your Legos people. if you had something sitting on your. shelf and it's Gathering dust go in at. night when people are sleeping and just. you know break it apart break it apart. now next we we're doing something a.

little bit different we're going to be. doing a show on location we'll tell you. where we're going to be we might even. get some of you guys to come out and. watch just depends on how some things. fall into place but we're not going to. be asking you to vote on something this. week just leave a comment about Legos. and then next week we'll have something. very special on Friday Rhett is caught. in. quicksand now we actually went through. this oh what's what's that there. survival tips in a previous episode so w.
