How to Play Boules + Make New Friends (Snippet 13)

[@Veggiekins]

Aw this warms my heart! Such sweet men

[@WildWeRoam]

aw thank you for watching Remy!! Hope you're back safe and sound in NYC enjoying the end of summer :)

[@Antastesia]

i loooooooooove les boules or la pétanque. In the south everyone plays this game! and we call the small ball "le cochonnet" (the small pig). lovely video!

[@isabelleb.3653]

I used to call "le cochonnet," "cochonou" ("piggy") as a kid! haha

[@WildWeRoam]

the guys we met called it "schweinchen" or little pig too!! so funny that the phrase goes across multiple languages :) thanks so much for watching emy! seriously makes lou and i so smiley to see you in the comments xxxxx

[@famder2]

you two have such positive videos, it makes my heart warm up

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! so happy to hear you are enjoying the channel :) can't wait to share next week's video with you!!

[@Indielollita]

Happy birthday Lou! :) amazed by how you guys are able to post really high-quality videos every week #respect

[@WildWeRoam]

mika you're the best :) this was actually my favorite comment of the week by far! lou really does surprise me each week with the edit he delivers. so lucky to have him in my life! Thank you for the birthday wishes tooo. hope youre having a wonderful weekend :)

[@OldCameras]

Awesome video. Looks like a game for a chilled afternoon with some cold drinks. Happy Birthday Lou. Peace.

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much! it really was such a relaxing evening - and such a good way to meet some new people. We're keeping our fingers crossed we run into them at the courts again next weekend :) and thanks so much for the birthday wishes! made lou so happy to get to read through these comments!

[@okantoygunozturkler322]

Hey man, I was looking a short guide for this game and I found your channel. Quality of your videos are awsome. I can feel what kind of person you are and that's inspired me to channel my personality to do something. I really liked the way you prepared your videos. Even though I didn't check your new videos, I am digging your old videos right now :)

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Lovely location for boule! 2:40 is incorrect btw: you (or your team) have to keep playing *until you get the point* - then the opposing team plays, again, until they get the point.

[@WildWeRoam]

hmm i think there are so many different variations on the rules depending on where and who you play with! thanks for the tip though :) Hope you're been able to get lots of games in this summer! - Dana

[@ritabarreiros1]

another video, another burst of happiness! Your videos inspire me everytime! and Happy birthday Lou! Hope you had a wonderful day!

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you for such sweet words Rita :) so happy to have you as part of our channel - it makes us so happy to see familiar faces in the comment section!

[@mayainmotion]

this is suuuper. i love you guys in that there is an inherent awareness of keeping in check that you are heading towards a positive lifestyle, it's truly inspiring and i look forward to each and every snippet of your life!

[@WildWeRoam]

ah maya you always write the best comments! i'm so happy that you're seeing all the joy come through the screen :) it makes us feel like all our efforts are succeeding when we get to read notes like this and know that the videos are inspiring you to bring the same perspective into your life too. It would be so fun to hear any stories or specifics about how a video has inspired you to do something new or cool!! can't wait to share more with you each and every week.

[@mayainmotion]

awh, you guys are too lovely. the most inspiring thing that has come to me is knowing the presence of you two itself, it gives me hope to someday be able to heal fully and do the things i love, which are just essentially the everyday things; yet instead of it being mundane it's present, and it's actually being alive. i'm sorry i don't have any stories! your videos are like serendipitous moments of life.. i just feel so good after watching them. : )

[@WildWeRoam]

wow maya that is so beautiful. we're beyond humbled to hear how our videos are bringing such light into your life and know that by focusing your heart on this positive energy you will most definitely become everything that you're dreaming about - in fact if you asked our meditation teacher he would tell you that you're already there now. That really is the beauty in life - by just pausing and thinking about the world around you and what an honor it is to be alive that is where the true joy in life can be found. All these things sound so corny when you write them, but I really believe it all. Recently we read Eckhart Tolle's New Earth and a few other new agey spiritual things and they definitely helped things click into place for me about what is worthwhile of focusing your energy on. I could go on and on about this stuff, but know that we appreciate your presence here on our channel so so much! And thank you again for always sharing your thoughts with us :) hope you're having a lovely weekend. xxx

[@72secondprize]

Nice video. How do you know which ball belongs to whom? There is nothing to distinguish one ball from another.

[@lauracoleman8114]

That looked so fun. Esp being able to have a nice drink in the park while playing. Your playing partner was such a nice man and really funny. I need to see if we have anything in our area.

[@luisareis6753]

hahaha this made me laugh so much! these old guys are hilarious. awesome video :)

[@WildWeRoam]

aw yes! so happy we brought a smile to your face luisa!! when youre back in town and healed enough to weight on your leg we're heading straight to the courts to play :)

[@luisareis6753]

+Plant Based Traveler I'm coming back on the 17th for a week or two! :) we have to hang! ♡

[@WildWeRoam]

yes yes yes! can't wait to see you :)

[@princepcn6909]

Thanks for the awesome vid. I've played Boule game twice once in Drosedow and the second time in Berlin. Any recommendations on how i can join dome clubs around Berlin?

[@jean2283]

Happy Birthday Lou! By the way I just subscribed and I love all your content! Love the vibes

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you Joanne!! So happy to hear that you're a new subscriber :) Can't wait to share more with you each and every week!

[@Earthwoman100]

This looks like fun! So two questions....is it acceptable to roll your ball with the intention of bumping someone else's ball away from the Jack so one of your balls is closer? Also if you have 8 people who are playing and you use the kit you have with two sets of balls where 4 are the same how can you tell whose are whose when playing? Do you just have to remember where yours lands? One more question. If you have say 4 people playing can you still each throw 4 balls if there are enough balls to go around? Hope you don't mind the questions. Thanks!

[@WildWeRoam]

Hi Jennifer! Thanks so much for all the questions :) Okay so you can definitely roll your ball with the intention of bumping someone else - in fact that is a great tactical move! If you have 8 people playing you just use the balls in pairs - they are ever so slightly different with their line patterns though we may end up painting them different colors so that you can tell them apart from far away to make it a bit simpler. If you have enough balls you can definitely throw more! When I played with these men we were playing with 6 people each person throwing 3 balls. Definitely let us know if you get a set! It is such a fun game :) highly recommend it!

[@jessicabrenda1785]

Happy birthday Lou! Much love for both of you from Romania.

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you so much Jessica :) so cool to hear where you live - can't really believe that are videos are connecting with people all around the world. The internet is so cool 💕

[@JosephHardinFilms]

Everything you guys make is very interesting!!!

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much! We try to keep it interesting each and every week :) Can't wait to share more with you!

[@camillevoyage9727]

I have so many memories of seeing the older men in my grandparents town in France playing in the park ☺️ Happy birthday Lou!

[@AukaSisa]

same for me ^^ it smells childhood ! Bon Anniversaire Lou !

[@WildWeRoam]

so happy to hear that this could bring back all those lovely memories for you Camille!! And thank you for the birthday wishes for lou :) he was so excited to read through all the comments when we got back from our camping trip just now. It has been the best start to birthday month!! (and yes we celebrate for the whole month hehehe)

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much Anne-Laure! It makes me so happy that everyone has such wonderful memories with this game. I can't wait to get back to the courts next weekend and hopefully run into our new friends again.

[@richardlucascronley5128]

The way you guys are playing interesting, mix of bocce and petanque rules

[@richgtimes6726]

The game looks fun two questions 1) if all 8 balls are the same color, how would you know who threw the second third and fourth balls closest to the JACK 2) if you exceed 13 first do you win or does the scoring start ove and you don't winr like some games as

[@louibeans]

Happy Birthday, Lou! I'll turn 26 on the 20th :) Great video, I also have a friend who's brave and outgoing and I'm incredibly thankful for all the great memories she made for and with me.

[@WildWeRoam]

ooo happy almost birthday Svenja!! This was such a nice comment to read :) its so important to have a balance of all types of people for the whole group to reach it's full potential! So happy you have someone that balances you out so you get to make all the memories you want to!

[@TwoFaceCreations]

I love this video so much!

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you so much Jonathan!! It really was so much fun to make. Wish we had been able to meet up with these guys again this summer but they've never been at the courts : ( - Dana

[@TwoFaceCreations]

You''re super welcome. That's a shame you haven't seen them again :/ but keep up the great content, please!

[@MrsClaypool]

Thanks for explaining. Off to watch Guernsey versus Jersey match soon so now I’ll be able to follow. Much appreciated.

[@dancer4ever125]

I'm so glad that I found this channel a few days ago, it's one of my favorites now! Will you guys post a Q & A video in the future? Thanks and happy early birthday Lou :)

[@WildWeRoam]

yes!! this all makes me so happy :) thank you for subscribing and for the Q & A request. We definitely are going to do something along those lines in the coming months. We have so many videos planned that its a ways out right now but i promise it will be so so good and will tell you lots about ourselves!! ooo and thank you for the birthday wishes for lou- we just got back from a big camping trip and he got to read through them all and he was grinning ear to ear!

[@mila.inthewoods]

Aww what a fun, interesting video! I love how you guys befriended strangers in the city! How cool. Also, I'm wondering how many languages do you guys speak?

[@WildWeRoam]

Hi mila!! thank you for watching our bocce video :) it really was so much fun to make! getting to know new people and learning new games are the perfect combination - as for languages i can speak english, understand spanish really well and kind of speak it and my german is basic and lou is fluent in english, spanish, german and knows a bit of french too! (he really lucked out though as his dad is german and his mom is peruvian so he has those languages in his blood!!) what about you?! do you speak multiple languages?

[@mila.inthewoods]

Wow that's impressive! That must come in handy while living abroad. How did you guys get the courage to move to Europe? Do you have family living there, especially since Lou has German/Peruvian in his blood? I only speak English and Serbian, but I am learning American Sign Language in college -- which I'm completely in love with. I took French all throughout high school but remember basically nothing xD, but I'm enjoying learning ASL much more than French! (French is so so difficult, even though I had an amazing teacher whom I still keep in contact today.)

[@WildWeRoam]

so impressive that you speak two languages!! no need to put only before that - as someone who has been trying to learn languages almost my whole life i can say that anyone who is bilingual, trilingual any thing gah it impresses me so much. to think what your brain was doing as a child to learn an extra language - well its super cool! also super cool that you're learning ASL - do you have any plans for using the ASL?where are you studying it? as for us :) we got the courage to move to europe 2 years ago because lou's parents were generous enough to offer us their apartment in berlin. we actually met studying abroad in barcelona 6 years ago and had always wanted to move back to europe so when this opportunity came up we jumped on it! lou has a ton of family in southern germany as his dad's entire family is still living here. So fun to get to know you better through the comments!!

[@mila.inthewoods]

Plant Based Traveler Haha, thanks, I think it's amazing how kids grow up learning more than 1 language. I wish I was more fluent in Serbian, but at least I can write in it in Cyrillic alphabet and of course speak and understand it. Wow, that's awesome how you guys ended up in Berlin. My parents also have an apartment in Europe, in Belgrade, Serbia which I've always imagined myself living in for a while sometime in my life. I'm studying ASL at a community college in northern Virginia. And I'm not sure yet what I want to do with it, but I might work with deaf kids. But I'm planning on majoring in nutrition because ever since becoming vegan (last September), I've been learning so much about how food affects our body. But omg it's amazing to get to know you too! I really enjoy hearing back from you in the comments :D

[@WildWeRoam]

wow that is all so exciting! i definitely recommend taking your parents up on that amazing opportunity. just so nice to live in a different country and experience all these new customs - and i bet it would be even more rewarding since you already speak serbian! and definitely would be the perfect way to solidify all your language skills :) thanks so much for watching our videos and engaging with them here in the comments too! it really is such a treat to hear from you!

[@PetiteElise]

This video is made so so well and explained amazingly! Making me wanna play this :)

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much for such a nice comment Elise! Hope you found people to play with - it really is such a fun game and a great way to spend an afternoon outside enjoying the summer weather :)

[@BhrAtlgn]

I think its a great theme taking light things and making how to videos on them. Same law isn't it, how small negative things get you seriously down and howsmall positive things get you higher. Working on small things is the magic i believe

[@WildWeRoam]

Hahahaa thanks! I'm always so happy when people discover this video, it was one of my absolute favorites to film, experience, and edit : ) ---Lou

[@thewellsoul8879]

Awh this gave me all the warm fuzzies

[@WildWeRoam]

mission accomplished :) so happy you enjoyed it!

[@runosaa]

I really like your videos Guys ✌ Good luck :)

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much for the kind words onur! Hope you had a beautiful weekend and got time to go play some games outside :)

[@lilyw9184]

Happy birthday, Lou!

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much Lily for you kind birthday wishes!! definitely made lou's day to see all this love in the comment section :)

[@BRIANOKEEFFE1]

Shouldnt they be 2 different colors?

[@fomh]

Happy birthday, Lou :)

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much for the birthday wishes!!! lou was so happy to read through all the comments :) his birthday month has been off to a killer start as we just got home from a big 5 day camping trip in a place called bad schandau which turned out to be one of the best trips of our lives!!!

[@OttoGlitter]

ich liebe euch xD happy birthday

[@WildWeRoam]

:):):) such a sweet comment otto! Wir lieben dich auch

[@sinaaaw]

love you guys and your vids

[@WildWeRoam]

eeek we love you too!!! thank you so much for watching and commenting :) it really is so fun to read your reactions!

[@guillermolastra]

Thank you guys ! great video!

[@WildWeRoam]

and thank YOU Guillermo for watching! So nice to see familiar faces in the comments each week. Makes us feel like we're doing something right :)

[@pattyr6446]

So how do you keep the balls straight between the two teams, the balls look the same. Looks like fun Happy Birthday Lou!!!

[@WildWeRoam]

They look quite similar, but they actually have different line patterns on them - we're thinking of painting them so that they are more distinguishable since it was a little tricky to tell from far away.

[@cassiagp87]

Happy birthday Lou😊May God bless you and give you a lifetime of happiness with the ones you love.🙏🏻btw this game seems to be very difficult.😩

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much Cassia for the birthday wishes and for watching our video! We just got back from the camping trip for his birthday without internet for the last few days and it was such a incredible time. And so nice to come back to all these well wishes for his big day :)

[@davidhairston8283]

So wholesome 😭

[@MrMimi1200]

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Lou! (Totally didn't google search how to say happy birthday in German)

[@WildWeRoam]

ahahha loved this one! thank you for the birthday wishes :)

[@patriciaaaaaa]

Such a fun game! Loved your new friends 😂 Happy birthday Lou! I hope you two have a wonderful day

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much for watching Patrícia - so happy you enjoyed the video and thank you for the birthday wishes! lou had so much fun reading through all the comments this week. We just got back from an incredible camping trip we took to celebrate lou's big day - no internet for 4 days and so much time in the woods, just hiking, taking photos, making videos and spending quality time together. really nothing more we could ask for :)

[@paullebon323]

The lo-fi jazz-hop was an excellent call... as was lowering the volume while you are talking. It's so annoying when video producers don't do that.

[@alexanderfdj]

nice! :)

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks so much Alexander :) - Dana

[@br0nsy940]

This is wrong for how to play petanque.

[@Jerka1969]

so wrong. I´m playing Petanque

[@lilpojkarna3046]

if you hit a side wall the ball is dead

[@lucaglorio3256]

Hey!!! there are world championships a km from my home. Ok, they play hard as if it is a championship, but don't tell them: it's just a game!!! They use Stanley pocket meters and they have custom bowls. It's a serious thing 😁😁😁

[@WildWeRoam]

woah so crazy that they have the world championships in your hometown! where is that?? so cool! we watched a few youtube videos of the professionals and it seemed like things were getting pretty intense hahah think ill keep it to a weekend hobby for me ;)

[@richardlucascronley5128]

I think it's 3 per player. Bocce uses 4 per player

[@sgk6775]

Wow

[@SandraKurz]

Liebe Boul spielen. Bin im Verein Z88 in Berlin Zehlendorf.

[@mkrool]

ur throwing the balls wrong btw ur supposed to throw them under arm with ur palm facing the ground

[@spadaacca]

Ahh they were all butchering the throw. You are meant to throw with your palm facing down, giving your ball a reverse spin for stabilization while you do. They need to go to France to learn how to play.

[@lilpojkarna3046]

you dont have to have 8 balls

[@astrazenica7783]

The surface is no good
