b'As long-time listeners know, GamerDude grew up when things were very different in the world. Some of the things that he accepted as "normal" when he was growing up would undoubtedly seem "weird" by today\'s standards. Some things, like kids having household chores, ice cream trucks, and riding on the front of shopping carts in the supermarket, is part of the evolution of parenting and society. Other things, like tube socks and sweat bands, are things that simply were a bit odd.\\n\\nGamerDude talks about all of these things, and also discusses other weirdness from when he was growing up. He talks about pet rocks and mood rings. He discusses how the\\xa0Viewmaster could give you windows on places you might never get to in real life. He also talks about playgrounds, and the things he played on as a kid, from merry-go-rounds to swings to see-saws. He also remembers ice pops; whether you called it Flav-Or-Ice, or Otter Pops, or Pop Ice, GamerDude talks about how the weird little sleeves of frozen, sweetened, flavored water were around when he was a kid, and how they\'re still around today.'
