Here's your host, Carmella Smith.

0:07

Hello everyone and welcome to

0:10

For Play. This is a

0:12

game of One Thing Always

0:14

leads to another. My name

0:17

is Carmella and I am

0:19

here today with Doug Hooten

0:21

from Los Cruces New Mexico.

0:23

Hey Doug! Hey Doug! Hey Doug!

0:26

Hey how's it going? Good!

0:28

How's Now Doug, foreplay is a game of

0:30

connection, so I do have to ask you

0:32

who you feel most connected to.

0:34

Probably a pretty common answer, but

0:37

I would have to say my wife, she's

0:39

sitting working in the next room over right

0:41

now, so. It's common because it's commonly

0:43

true. And I'm all for it, absolutely.

0:46

I mean, it makes sense to get

0:48

married to the person you're

0:50

most connected to. Right, absolutely.

0:52

Makes so much sense. Now Doug, foreplay

0:54

works like this. I'll give you four sets.

0:57

I'll give you four sets. of four

0:59

clues. Each set of clues

1:01

has a connection and

1:03

there's an overarching connection

1:06

between the four sets. Are

1:08

you ready to play? Yes I

1:10

am. All right today's game

1:12

was written by Jay Borsam.

1:14

I'll give you your first set

1:17

of clues. Your time will

1:19

begin after I'm done reading

1:21

it the second time. Your

1:23

first set of clues? and

1:27

determine one's age, that's

1:29

business, something you

1:31

deal with, question mark,

1:34

score, and determine one's

1:36

age. Okay, um, see, it's

1:38

always going through and

1:41

listening to some of these

1:43

and feel pretty confident

1:45

on it, and then you

1:47

get right in front of

1:50

one that you actually have

1:52

to work on. Business, you

1:54

have show, business, uh,

1:56

is a tally

1:59

or Score is

2:01

20 of something. Nothing is

2:03

really hitting on multiples

2:06

of these at the moment.

2:08

Oh, okay. Something you deal

2:11

with, you could deal cards.

2:13

You have a business card,

2:16

score card, and to determine

2:18

one's age would be to

2:20

card someone. So I think

2:23

it's going to probably

2:25

be card on this. Clicked

2:28

at once there if

2:30

that's right. Yeah, I

2:32

feel pretty good about

2:34

that now. So card. Okay,

2:37

ready to go on to

2:39

the next one. All right.

2:41

You're our next set

2:44

of clues. Neighborhood.

2:46

Timekeeper. View. And

2:49

Apple. An Apple has

2:51

capitalized. That's

2:54

neighborhood. Timekeeper,

2:57

view, and Apple. I don't

2:59

think it would be Mr.

3:02

Rogers, for Mr. Rogers'

3:04

neighborhood, but thing, I

3:06

don't know, the one that

3:08

stands out is Timekeeper,

3:11

which would be a clock

3:13

or a watch, and to

3:15

view something is to watch

3:17

it, you have the neighborhood

3:20

watch, and the Apple watch.

3:22

So that also seems like it

3:24

fits pretty well. So putting

3:26

together watch and card, try

3:28

and come up with something

3:31

that would go with the two

3:33

of those. Nothing's really spring

3:35

into mind immediately. I

3:37

think I might just move on to

3:39

the next one and hope that

3:42

the third one clicks for me

3:44

with something, but I like watch and

3:46

card so far. Your next set

3:48

of clues. Top. Hunter,

3:52

Edith, E-D-D-I-T-H,

3:55

and is

3:57

capitalized, and

4:00

Radio, which is also

4:02

capitalized. That's Top, Hunter,

4:04

Edith, and Radio. Okay,

4:06

I don't know many

4:08

Edith, so that's going

4:11

to be a tough

4:13

one to come up

4:15

with something. Was Top

4:17

capitalized or is that?

4:19

No? No? Okay. And

4:22

Hunter wasn't either, correct?

4:24

Correct. Okay. So radio

4:26

being capitalized. Radio Flyer,

4:28

the wagon, you got...

4:30

I'm hoping this one

4:33

clicks at some point

4:35

like the first one

4:37

did, but nothing coming

4:39

to me right now.

4:41

Hunter, green is a

4:44

color, hunter, there's... Top

4:46

would be number one,

4:48

the... Man, Edith is

4:50

just tripping me up

4:52

because I cannot think

4:55

of a single Edith

4:57

that I would actually

4:59

be able to pair

5:01

something with. If I

5:03

can get something to

5:06

collect there, then it

5:08

would help. But I

5:10

was hoping that Top

5:12

would be capitalized because

5:14

the first thing that

5:17

was thinking of was

5:19

Top Gun and Hunt,

5:21

and a hunter would

5:23

have a gun. That

5:25

doesn't seem like it

5:28

would work. Radio Head,

5:30

Hunter, and Head would

5:32

be the top of

5:34

something, and maybe there

5:36

is somebody named Edith

5:39

Head. Um, radio lab.

5:41

I don't know, I

5:43

like head, but I'm

5:45

not 100% on that.

5:47

It's two minutes. Your

5:50

last set of clues.

5:52

Eight to two, question

5:54

mark. And those are

5:56

just the digits, eight,

5:59

and then T-O, and

6:01

then the number two,

6:03

question mark. Cosmic. Nintendo

6:05

game. and game is

6:07

capitalized in that as

6:10

well. And Nissan model.

6:12

That's 8 to 2,

6:14

question mark. Cosmic. Nintendo

6:16

game. And Nissan model.

6:18

8 to 2. Cosmic.

6:21

Nintendo game. And game

6:23

is capitalized. And Nissan

6:25

model. And cosmic is

6:27

also capitalized. Oh, and

6:29

cosmic is capitalized. OK.

6:32

Ult Ultima and Cube.

6:34

Oh, Cube would work

6:36

for that because you

6:38

have the Game Cube

6:40

would be capitalized and

6:43

the, from Marvel Comics

6:45

and from the movies,

6:47

you got the Cosmic

6:49

Cube, eight to two.

6:51

Oh, okay, because two

6:54

is eight cubed, or

6:56

two, whatever, eight is

6:58

two cubed, the other

7:00

way around on that.

7:02

Okay, so Cube, head,

7:05

head. If head is

7:07

right, watch and card.

7:09

Now putting those four

7:11

together if that's right.

7:13

And you are in

7:16

the fourth round so

7:18

you can start throwing

7:20

out gases. Start guessing.

7:22

Say the first thing

7:24

that comes up is

7:27

cube root which I

7:29

can't make work with

7:31

anything else. It's not

7:33

root. Okay. Head of

7:35

the class cube things.

7:38

Things to do with

7:40

your wrist. That's two

7:42

minutes. Your two-minute guessing

7:44

round starts right now.

7:47

Okay. Things that are

7:49

square. No. Things that

7:51

are head and things

7:53

to do with your

7:55

wrist. counting things

7:58

to do with Yeah,

8:00

I don't know that this is

8:03

going to come to me. It

8:05

seems... Like a handful of simple

8:08

words that should have something there

8:10

and You got 20 seconds just

8:12

start throwing out some words Okay,

8:15

birthdays things with the number 12

8:17

things to do with Smart things

8:19

no Things that It's two minutes

8:22

you got one last guest for

8:24

me No, I don't all right

8:26

well The good news is that

8:29

you did really really great with

8:31

those individual connections because they're all

8:34

correct. Card, watch, head, and cube,

8:36

all the correct things. Edith Head

8:38

just as an FYI, she was

8:41

a costume designer in the early

8:43

days of Hollywood and she like

8:45

holds the record for most Oscars

8:48

for costume design. Okay. So, so

8:50

that's who she is. If we

8:53

kind of take keep out of

8:55

it and start thinking about card,

8:57

watch and head. I think about

9:00

this a lot because I play

9:02

a lot of Blotro. So I

9:04

have to look at face cards

9:07

a lot. So faces is our

9:09

connection here. So watch face, there's

9:12

a face on your head hopefully.

9:14

And the sides, the outside planes

9:16

of a cube are known as

9:19

faces. So this is faces. But

9:21

you did fantastic. I mean, you

9:23

know, some of these that you

9:26

were cart few at first, you

9:28

didn't give up on them, and

9:30

you got all the connections. I

9:33

think that's fantastic. Those are some

9:35

of the hardest parts. Wasn't that

9:38

last one to click like the

9:40

other two did? Yeah. I was

9:42

open to some too. But you

9:45

know what, sometimes Jay is just

9:47

going to get you. She does

9:49

it a lot. I had a

9:52

wonderful time here with you today.

9:54

Doug, I do like to give

9:57

everyone a chance to do any

9:59

shout-outs, any causes they want to

10:01

promote, so this time is yours.

10:04

Yeah, I would like to shout

10:06

out my wife. She's got a

10:08

book out that she wrote a

10:11

couple of years ago called Almost

10:13

All Aliens. That is about immigration

10:16

in the US. It's kind of

10:18

a comprehensive history of the different

10:20

types of emigration. And that's kind

10:23

of a relevant topic in today's

10:25

world. So yeah, I just wrote

10:27

it down so I could check

10:30

it out. It's a good book

10:32

and worth checking out as, yeah,

10:35

given everything that's currently going on

10:37

especially today. So, absolutely. No, I

10:39

love it. Thank you for that

10:42

book recommendation. I'm always looking for

10:44

new ones and I hope everyone

10:46

else out there checks that out

10:49

as well. Doug, our time was

10:51

short, but I think it was

10:53

great and I think that you

10:56

did a fantastic job and I

10:58

hope you had a fun time.

11:01

Yeah, it was great. Wonderful. And

11:03

for everyone else, I will have

11:05

a new guest in the chair

11:08
