This Week’s Topic and Segment— Fortnite with Gen Z

In the gaming discussion, Brent and the kids chat:

The Kids Travel and Outdoor Adventures

They discuss their summer trip to Big Cedar Lodge. Brent’s particularly excited about Big Cedar Lodge’s new attraction, Fun Mountain, which features a Pitfall-style ropes course (i.e. the area below is filled with the peril of alligators and pythons) … and go-karts.
Or how about canoeing and paddle boarding …

“D” enjoying some paddle boarding at Big Cedar.

Brent Gets Schooled on Fortnite

The kids explain what Fortnite is … and why it’s a phenomena …
How many hours would you guess the kids play Fortnite? And … why do they watch YouTube videos about the game?
Do they think they play Fortnite too much?
How would they describe their demeanor while playing the Fortnite?
Who are some of their favorite people to watch play video games on YouTube?
- How fun is it really to watch other people? Why?
How many female Fortnite players do they know of out there?
Why do they say it’s easier to win the Fortnite on Xbox than Playstation?
So … they just released Fortnite for the Nintendo Switch … adding 2M accounts (with some controversy) how do you think adding the Switch will be different than playing on a mobile device?

Game of 80s Movie Knowledge

We review a list of some popular 80s movies and play a game of “have you seen it?” with the kids. One member of the group is woefully in need of a #movication. We discuss the following classics:

Adventures in Baby Sitting
Back To The Future
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure
The Breakfast Club
Die Hard
ET
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Footloose
Ghostbusters
The Goonies
Gremlins
The Karate Kid
The Princess Bride
Star Wars

And This Episode’s Game of “Triple D” …

To close out The Hump! Podcast … Brent and Chad play a quick round of Triple D.

What’s Triple D?

They throw out a scenario … and discuss whether it’s a DICK, DOUCHE or DUMBASS move. This episode’s Triple D move. And it’s travel-related at that:

This week’s Triple D move — What do you call … “Someone who gets in a fight just to post the video on social media?”

We discuss and debate on the show, but feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments (keep it clean folks, as they reserve the right to delete any personal attacks or defamatory information).
