Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Demanda podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
When I grew up, our neighbors were big board game players,
and I still love going over and playing boy.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
What was the board game of the time.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
My favorite one was Cludo Loved Loved, Loved Cludo.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Professor Plum in the conservatory.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
With the candlestick or the wrench the wench.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well, miss Scarlett, she was kind of sexy, wasn't she.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
She was caught in the laundry the wench.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm pretty sure one of my friend's dads had a
sexy version of cludale Cludo, like a Playboy version or
something like that. Pretty sure.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, unless you've imagined all of that got a good workout,
don't mention mouse trap. Well, so, when my my kids
were younger, I bought a game of Cludo, and of
course I couldn't remember how any of the rules worked.
I had no patience in actually reading how the.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Put who the person, the perpetrator?

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I understand the object?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Could I couldn't remember how the machinations of it went,
that your roller dies and where you ended up. So
we just used to play guess What's in the envelope?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Could do I know?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, that's what I mean. I'm lazy, lazy when it
comes to board games. I was terrible, but on the weekend.
It was my birthday last week, and I've got this.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Is why Jack didn't complete the Death Star.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Don't start, That's why, don't start.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's why.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
So it was my birthday and the boy said, what
do you want for your birthday? And my sons are
our twenty two and twenty four. Liam's twenty five this year.
It's extraordinary.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
He's heading for cheap insurance.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
But I said, well, why don't you come away with
me for the weekend. We've got a place down the coast,
I said.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
The Fortress of Solitude.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
And well, it's a big deal for them. They both
work Saturday mornings for them to get time to come,
and it was a big deal. It was great, so
we thought we Liam loves a board game now as
an adult. I don't know where he's learnt the rules,
but he said, let's play Monopoly. There was some beer involved,
but all our personality traits came to the four. So
Liam is very focused and sort of raisor smart. So

(01:55):
the second I'd roll the dice before I could count
out nine one to hit say, you owe me.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Forty five bucks.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
He could see exactly where I was going to land
the car.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
What piece I had, the little dog?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Of course, Jack had the flamboyant top hat and Liam
had the money bags, so money bag in this version
there was money bags.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I let the car. I always go for the car.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
So anyway, Liam brought up everything very early on, and
Jack was just fuel mean. And so when Liam had
all this money, Jack would.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Say, oh, don't catch it's rude. Don't catch your money.
Don't look, don't don't even look. Well, stop it. And
at one point he said, could you at least be
a charming villain. You're just being mean.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't look at your phone. It's so casual, look at
your phone. Jack was getting so wound up. And then
at one point Jack started to win a little bit,
and so he's saying to me, fifty eight bucks, you
owe me fifty So he suddenly becomes exactly the villain.
So I was saying, I'll settle down, everyone, settle down,
come on, let's all just settle down. And then I
rolled the dice. The very first roll I ended up

(02:57):
in jail. Second roll two hundred dollars tags role I
pretty much landed on Liam's hotel and had to pay
nine hundred dollars that it brought me. I was wanting
to flip the table, so in the in my huge anger,
I went to bed, and as I left the room,
I heard Jack just knock a beer over all the money.

(03:18):
So I thought, that's our family in a nutshell. All
our personality types came to the fore. When you play
a board game.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
It never counts your money when you're sitting at.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
The table of Kenny Rogers. That's what I said too.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Which I never understood, because the gambler is just giving information,
normal information. There's no real insight there is there. It's
kind of well, do you got to know when to
hold them, knowing to follow them?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Come on, say well do to Kenny Rogers.
