[It's a particular day on this imaginary Wonderland calendar that's got Jason thinking about some of the family he's left behind. He misses his father like crazy, even though he's supposed to be old enough to handle that. It makes him think about how many little kids are running around Wonderland without families of their own. It's with them in mind that he addresses the network.]

Hey, guys. Where I'm from, today's a pretty big family day, and I was thinking that might get weird for some people. So I wanted to just get the word out.

[He ducks out of frame so the video is presenting the doorframe of the Youth Center as a visual aid.]

We're gonna make sure people are staffing the youth center all day today. So feel free to stop by if you could use a little extra company. We can play some games, or eat way too much ice cream, or sit around and talk. It's your call.

[Sometimes if a father can't be around, a big brother might do.]

[Excuse you, football is everyone's sport.]

It's not just about the tackling! It's about the strategy. It's about offense and defense -- like a chess game with bodies. It's about being smarter, not necessarily hitting harder. Even if sometimes the smart plan is to find someone who hits hard and make sure they're on your side.

[ Uh huh. ]

I thought the point was to score goals.

[ Ok he knows they are called touchdowns, but this is just fun. ]

[You know what that's not even offensive. That's more like talking to cheerleaders.]

Can't score anything if your strategy's not where it needs to be.

[ Oh, he does not want to be a cheerleader. They are entirely too...perky.]

I feel like that's true with every sport though? Don't they all have plays and strategy?

[ only in movies. Otherwise, the pettiness is mostly an act. It's part of the motif. ]

Well yeah, so does everything. It's just that football does it best.

I might need to see evidence of this. You know just to make sure you're correct in your opinion.

[ He realizes he just asked to watch football and he's not sure how Jason wound up getting him to want to watch football.
