Wake Up With Cheddar

Ok. Pickle ball is so having a moment and now yes, we can bring it into our own yards for all the fun, all the competitiveness without the drive to go anywhere. So a is here from fun stuff, toys. So talk to me about yay, talk to me, talk to me about me beating you. Ok. So this is our new pickle ball set. It's super easy to set up. It's for indoors and outdoors, it all folds up into a small little bag for us and even comes with two quiet balls and two paddles as well. So it's easy to just open up and start playing right away. Yeah. And the great thing is, I mean, we have it here in the driveway, but if you just have a flat area, like you're ready to anywhere like that. All right. I like it now for my family whiffle ball is like huge, huge whiffle ball is becoming big again. So this is junk ball, which is a tiny bit different. How's it? Different? Junk ball uses their special kind of ball to do different kinds of pitches. Whoa. And you can do different kinds of curves and now, they've just offered their brand new strike zone, ok? Which you can keep track of your strikes and your balls, your outs where you are on base, if you only have a couple of players playing and you can keep track of your score the entire time with a simple flip. But on top of that, the strike zone just keeps the rules fair for everyone. It keeps, you don't have to be fighting about whether it was a ball or strike. If it hits anywhere inside this, it is a strike. No, it's a strike now. So it's perfect. And we've got our bat with the sweet zone spot right there. So, you know, you know, exactly where to hit it. Like, oh, you hear it, you had a nice hit that first one. Ok. Now, I really like this. This is a little bit different than, um, how this was in the past. So talk to me about how this floats. So this is the bull's eye bucket and we've been selling this for a while, but now it floats in the pool as well. The buckets will float and now the hacky sacks will even float. So you can take this in the pool, you could take it to your backyard, you could take it camping, you could take it to the beach. And the best part is it just packs up super easy into a tiny bag and it's two buckets, six Hackey sacks. It's a really great all. Ok. We're a lacrosse family. So, if we're stuck at tournaments all summer, you've added another element as well. We've started to step it up and you can add a lacrosse stick into the game and you can get some really good experience tossing the hacky sacks into the, the bucket. Oh, you got a nice toss in there. But it's super fun. There's different ways to play. It's really great. Ok. Now, this is pretty cool. This is for, um, younger kids. Yes, this is our mini golf set and it comes with an adjustable club and three different heads for the club. So this just twists off so that just twists and then you can switch off whatever head is on there. Ok. Super easy. And kids can play however they want to, especially when they're starting to learn golf and I don't have to, like, chase the ball because it's going to feed it. Exactly. Ok. So there's one in there right now. So I'm not great at this, but that's ok. I would hit that and then I'm gonna hit this and it's gonna come down. Exactly. Very cool. Now, this is, this is our extreme fun pack. It's got over 20 games inside. We've got dice, we've got Janga pieces and we've got Dominoes. We're playing a form of Django where you roll the dice and you've got to pick out what number you've got to pull. Oh, I got a three here. Ok. Pull that out. There you go. Ok. But you see the Jago tiles work just as Dominos as well. So you could play Dominos, we could play yard yachts, we could play DGA. We can knock down Domino's, there's just so many things to play with this pack. Ok. And bubbles are always so much fun. You just see the little kids laughter. They're running around the yard. It's amazing. The bubbles are great. We've got our bubble blaster right now which shoots tons of bubbles out. And on top of that, we can have sounds that go along with it and the sounds can also go away. Sounds can go away if parents are getting annoyed with it, which is great. Ok. And then if we want to step up with our bubbles, we've got our South Beach bubbles which you just take two wands and their spec special mix with the water and you can make some huge bubbles super easy.
