It’s our new favourite game of the year! If you have a name that’s a pain, a name that you always need to explain – then this is the game for you. I know you’re screaming the answer at the speakers while we’re playing, and whether we get them or they go over our heads we have so much fun with it every week. Enjoy!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
We call this the name game.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Many of you listener right now, we'll have one of
those names that actually is slightly problematic for you, where
wherever you call you always have to explain an easy way,
in one line, what the name is the same. For example,
your surname is Skywalker. This is hypothetical, obviously.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Maybe a bit asked some Star Wars nerds out there
who've actually done this, but anyway, and the person would go,
excuse me, excuse me Skywalker. You go, yes, as in Luke.
That's what we call it, the name game. As in,
if you've got one of those names where you actually
have one line, now you always say to people so
they can translate understand what your name is. You tell
us what that one line is Me Jack and Pat's

(00:47):
trying and guess what your name is. So if it
was you, come on and go as in Luke, we
would race each other to say Luke Skywalker.

Speaker 2 (00:54):

this game. It's been a while. Let's just remind some
