00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: of Monopoly. It's a really thorough episode where we explained

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: everything everything about the game of Monopoly, and I was

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: apparently on coludes throughout the whole thing. Go figure. Anyway,

Speaker 1: on the top hat and my cane, your monocle, my

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Monica to see a monocle. I thought it was not

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: as Mr Peanut, Oh yeah, not Mr Monopoly. And I

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: think Mr Pringle has a monocle too, Devan, No, he

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: has a nastasy. Mr Monopoly doesn't have a monocle. Huh.

17
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Huh. You'd think we'd know, we

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: do not, But I do know this. Mr Monopoly is

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: a nickname for that man. That's right. His born name

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: is given name by his parents is rich Uncle penny

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Bags three names, so uncle would be his middle name. Yeah,

22
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: well he even has a regular name too, not that

23
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: I saw. Yeah, it is Um Millburn Pennybags. No. Yeah,

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: there was a book UM published and this is one

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: of those after the fact deals called the Monopoly Companion,

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: and they named all the character characters on the board

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Milbourne Pennybags. And then the jail guy is Jake, the jailbird,

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: and the police officer and go to jail is it's

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: I'll bet it Tyrus, isn't it Officer Edgar Mallory. I knew,

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: really he just gets that. Yeah, that's pretty funny. We're

31
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: talking about Monopoly, by the way. Oh yeah, this is

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: not about anything else but Monopoly. No. And I was

33
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: just remarking to you, sir, how I've never seen one

34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: of our This had more supplemental information than most shows

35
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: that we research. Yeah. I can explain why because this

36
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: was written. There was a whole suite of UM game

37
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: articles written like UM just how to play certain games.

38
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: So it kind of came out in this mentality and

39
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: of this is the game, and here's how we explain

40
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: how to play it, and this article is done. Whereas Monopoly.

41
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: It's like this is more like McDonald's or Twinkies or

42
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: something like that. It's like a cultural cog. Yeah. I

43
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: mean there's so much extra junk history. And I mean

44
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: you talk about the different versions, it's ridiculous. Milburne Penny

45
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Penny Banks. Yeah, And like I said, that was a

46
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: post that he wasn't originally called that. This is I

47
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: think Monopoly probably wanted to sell a little a little

48
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: book or two. I'm sure they did, because if one

49
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: thing we've learned about Parker Brothers and now has Bro

50
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: is they love selling different versions of this game. Yeah,

51
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: they do. They like licensing it all a lot of money.

52
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Do they like making some changes here they're releasing a

53
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: brand new game, but it's all still the same game

54
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: and all of it. Um came from a left wing

55
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: Quaker intellectual at the turn of last century. Yeah, it was.

56
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying that right, Yeah, sure, Okay, I think it

57
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: sounds right. Uh. And it's interesting to me that the

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: game of Monopoly, which is all about capitalism bankrupting or

59
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: neighbor Yeah, was stolen. The game was stolen from a

60
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: leftist intellectual Quaker. In the original version of the game,

61
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: it was to teach against monopolies and how they're bad. Right,

62
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: so let's talk about this monopoly. Actually, if you trace

63
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: it back to about the like the literal beginning of

64
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: the twentieth century, Um, it's what's considered a folk game.

65
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: There were a lot of people playing versions like this

66
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: and cities all over the country. But again, they all

67
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: shared some pretty common viewpoints. Uh. I guess you today

68
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: you would kind of call them socialists, um, But for

69
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: the most part they were um followers of a guy

70
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: named Henry George Georgis M. Yeah. He came up with

71
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: this thing called Georgism, which was based on some other philosophies.

72
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: But the idea of it is is that if you

73
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: produce something through the through your own labor, your own work,

74
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: you own that that should not be taxed. What should

75
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: be taxes things that everybody owns. If somebody's taking something

76
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: that belongs to everybody, say a parcel of land, technically

77
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: the land belongs everybody. Well, that was his no was

78
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't even be a landowner, Like, the whole

79
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: concept of owning land to him was ridiculous. And that's

80
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: based on this idea. The law of the commons which

81
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 1: is around for centuries, if not millennia, and then um,

82
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: once people started taking land, He's like, okay, well, if

83
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna own land, it belongs to everybody, so that

84
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: should be taxed and then that tax will be given

85
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: back to the community for the greater good. So that's

86
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: georgeis um. And that was kind of the philosophy that

87
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: formed the basis of monopoly what was originally called the

88
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: Landlord's Game, which was created by a lady named Lizzie

89
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Maggie m A g Y m A I E m

90
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: A G I E almost Magpie without the pa, right,

91
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: uh yeah, And she basically that was on her card,

92
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: and she, uh, she came up with this, like you

93
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: said to kind of teach um, so you could go

94
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: and be a rich landowner and bankrupt other people and

95
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: exploit the poor who need your help, um, who need

96
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: a decent place to stay, and you could see yourself

97
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: like the evils of capitalism. But she actually came up

98
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: with two sets of rules for the same game. One

99
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: was where you got as rich as you could at

100
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the expense of everybody else. The other was a basically

101
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: the community benefited. And you can kind of see that

102
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: today in like these weird things like community chest, Like

103
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: why would I want to, you know, pay into this pot.

104
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't care about the community like now it's a

105
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: bad thing. In her original version, it was a good thing,

106
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: like the community one. And that was the basis of

107
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Yeah, which is really ironic, it is.

108
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, like you said, she created two versions and

109
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: she said, Um, one of the quotes from her is

110
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: it is a practical demonstration of the present system of

111
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: land grabbing, with all its usual outcomes and consequences. So

112
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of the teach people lessons. Uh.

113
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: And she had it stolen from her. She luckily, Lizzie

114
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Maggie was smart enough to patent this game. Uh. It

115
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: became just kind of a trendy thing. Again, like if

116
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: you were into socialism at the time and you were

117
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: on the East Coast, you probably hung out at a

118
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: friend's house and and um played this game at some

119
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: point in some incarnation or another. It was really popular,

120
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: like you said, like people made up some of their

121
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: own rules, but it was I mean, if you look

122
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: at the original Landlords game board, it looks a lot

123
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: like the current Monopoly I mean similar at least yeah,

124
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: And apparently a lot of the the rules that make

125
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: the game a lot more enjoyable to day came from

126
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: uh Lizzie's Quaker friends. Like, for example, um, the original

127
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: plots of land, we're up for auction for forbid. Quakers

128
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: prefer silence, so they just put a fixed price on

129
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: a piece of land so there wouldn't be a loud,

130
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: obnoxious bidding war. Um. They also um instituted tokens, fun

131
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: tokens before they're just boring pawns. Yeah, like household objects,

132
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: which you know, that's why the thimble is in there,

133
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: and originally the iron Yea, we'll get to those in

134
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: a minute, but um, I know it's pretty exciting. Uh.

135
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: And then so this thing is being played and h

136
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: Lizzie Maggie holds the patent, but she's not exactly like

137
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: um cracking down on any kind of infringement. Really. No, Well,

138
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: she pitched at the Parker Brothers and they said no, Yeah,

139
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: so she just kind of went on doing her own thing.

140
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: So there's another lady actually that figures into this UM

141
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: lady named Ruth Hoskins, and she was one of the

142
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: ones who caught on in the like Philadelphia Atlantic City

143
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: area with her Quaker friends. Uh, two of them in particular,

144
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Jessie and Eugene Rayford. Uh. And they are the ones

145
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: who changed some of the rules to make it look

146
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: more like the monopoly we know. They taught it to

147
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: a friend, uh named Todd, and Todd taught it to

148
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: his friend named Charles dare Row. And that's where the

149
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: story takes a kind of a CD turn. Well, actually

150
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: that's where the Parker Brothers official version begins. Ironically things

151
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: turned CD. Parker Brothers is like, hey, this is where

152
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: our story begins. Yeah. The inventor of Monopoly, Charles Darrow, right,

153
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: so he was like a radiator salesman during the depression.

154
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: This is the thirties, right, Yeah, I mean it was

155
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: ironically again during the Depression, this game really caught hold.

156
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: Well I supposedly that's what caught the Parker Brothers attention

157
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: was that this guy came to came to him, came

158
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: to them to sell him this game which he had stolen. Yeah.

159
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: Apparently he didn't innovate it at all. He kind of

160
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: just copied it and packaged it right, and said, hey,

161
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: what do you think of this? And the Parker Brothers said,

162
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: we don't think too much of it, like, how does

163
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: the game end? We don't know what's going on here,

164
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: so let's just um, you just go your own way.

165
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: So Charles Darrow went off and started selling it at

166
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: this Wannamaker's apartment store in Philadelphia without pattenting it right,

167
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: and um, the Parker brothers said, you know what, it's

168
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: the depression. Can you believe it. We're not going to

169
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: have any kind of economic woes like this for another

170
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: seventy eighty years. And this guy is selling these things

171
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: like hot cakes. You know what, sir, we will buy

172
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: your idea from you. And Charles Darrow apparently said, well,

173
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: that's great. Give me the money first and then I'll

174
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: tell you the second part of the story. And they

175
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: gave him a bag of money with a dollar sign

176
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: on it, much like the ones that um rich uncle

177
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: Penny bags likes. And he said, okay, um, we also

178
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: need to buy the patent off from this lady named

179
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: Lizzie Maggie. Yeah, which they did. Um, the game was

180
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: still stolen. I say, even though that they eventually did

181
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: pay her money, but part of the deal was, they said, um,

182
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: they they agreed to buy her patent and said, you

183
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna we'll sell a few of your

184
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: other game ideas too. None of those ever went anywhere,

185
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: and she was sort of lost to history except for

186
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: people who do a little bit of digging. Yeah, and

187
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: we actually have a guy named Ralph to thank for

188
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: doing that digging initially. We'll talk about him later. Oh yeah,

189
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, because he's the one who came up

190
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: with the unofficial history and like really tracked it down. Well,

191
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teasers in this one so far.

192
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: So Um, the Parker brothers now in the game, and uh,

193
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: it becomes a huge hit virtually off the bat. In

194
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: the thirties is when they bought it and started really

195
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: printing it. Yeah, and the game is based on Atlantic City. Uh,

196
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: those are the properties and that's because that was the

197
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: area where it became popular. But um, this excellent New

198
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: York Times article you sent, uh, what's the name of it,

199
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: Monopoly Goes Corporate. Yeah, it was written by what's what's

200
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: the lady's name? Mary Pillin. She is a monopoly expert.

201
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of those out there, I've learned. She well,

202
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: she wrote a lot of the articles you'll find. Oh really, yeah,

203
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: she's well. She pointed out that it's interesting that it

204
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: mirrored sort of the the cartography of the day in

205
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: Atlantic City, like Boardwalk was clearly like a rich area

206
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: the Baltic and Mediterranean. The cheapest properties were in African

207
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: American neighborhoods. There was a reading railroad that transferred people

208
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: between Philly and Atlantic City. And little known fact for

209
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: our friends in the gay community, New York Avenue was

210
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: one of the earliest gay scenes in the country. So

211
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: buy that one up and support support the lb GT community.

212
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: That's if you're playing monopoly. Yeah, that's what I would do.

213
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: And maybe just you know, don't charge anybody when they land,

214
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: just be like, this is the party place exactly. And

215
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: Marvin Gardens apparently is misspelled yeah E instead of an

216
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: eye or eye instead of an E. Yeah, on the

217
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: board it's an eye, right, It's supposed to be an E. Yeah.

218
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Monopoly facts dropping all around us

219
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: right now. I know it's raining symbols. Well, now we're

220
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: on the road, driving in your truck. Want to learn

221
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: a thing or two from Josh PM Chuck. It's stuff

222
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: you should know, all right, All right, So we were

223
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: just talking about Atlantic City. Um, I guess it's we

224
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: can go ahead and point out now that there are

225
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: hundreds of versions of Monopoly out there now, one for

226
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: your hometown, probably one for your favorite sports team. I

227
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: have personally my version as a Star Wars Monopoly, which

228
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: is pretty fun. Um yeah, I guess Hesbro's like, you've

229
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: got some money, sure you can license this monopoly game.

230
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Go ahead. There's a Simpsons Monopoly. I haven't played it though,

231
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: and not in addition to the um licensed versions that

232
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: you can fine like everywhere, they also have like official

233
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: versions to like there's a U S version, there's a

234
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: UK version, there's um a there's a new version that's

235
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: called Monopoly here And now what does that even mean?

236
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: Super corporate? Is this the corporate one? Yeah? Okay, it's

237
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: uh it's like everything is multiplied by I think a thousand,

238
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: so the solar amounts are way higher. Is this one

239
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: where they replaced the uh, the railroads are replaced by airports?

240
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: Is this one where they replaced corporations for all the property?

241
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: So like McDonald's and Sony and yeah, god, who would

242
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: want to play that? Some people? Do? You know? Yeah? Yeah? Um,

243
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not a purist because I had the

244
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Star Wars version, but I just it's no fun to

245
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: me to play as paramount pictures and right to buy

246
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: the McDonald's property. Yeah, that's just me. Um. So there

247
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: are a bunch of different versions, but the one we're

248
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: going to talk about, what's just talking about, the the

249
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: normal version with the two thousand eight rules. Yeah, and

00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: own neighborhood and then they will make it for you.

254
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,080

258
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,200

Speaker 1: the richest fictional character is the Incredible Hulk. No, he

265
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: was not rich Scrooge McDuck. Oh yeah, well dude, he

266
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: had that gold vault apparently sixty five billion. Uh. Number

Speaker 1: silly smile from like the rings. It's a dragon. I

269

00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: Who's number three? Carlisle Cullen from Twilight? Who's that? He

272
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: was the dad vampire dad of the vampire family. Um,

273
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: and he's been alive forever, so I guess he just

274
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: keeps accumulating. Well. Bruce Wayne Ritchie Rich, Christian Gray Ritchie Rich.

275
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: I forgot about him. He's number seven. He had a

276
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: robot made and a crazy like a weird scientists friend.

277
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: Didn't he sure like a Richie rich robot of himself.

278
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: I think he had that too, But no, it was made.

279
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: Was a robot, wasn't it? It was the Jetsons. No,

280
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: he had to Uh. I thought Monty Burns at number

281
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: ten was pretty good. Oh yeah, that's going. Although I

282
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: would guess Mr Monopoly would be wealthier than Monty Burns.

283
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: But and they put it out each year and it's dumb.

284
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: Can we just admit that I was thrilled by it.

285
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: We just spent three minutes on it. Yeah, well that's true. Okay,

286
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: So Chuckers, you want to talk about the the rules

287
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: of the game again, two eight rules if you are

288
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: a Monopoly purist and like, I'm sorry, that's just what

289
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: we're going with. Yeah, well, let's talk about the game

290
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: board itself. Just so if you haven't played it, I'm

291
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: surprised because I think like a billion people have played

292
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: the game. Um, but if you haven't, when you get

293
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: your Monopoly game, you're gonna open it up and you're

294
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: gonna have a board with all these different properties in

295
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: a square. Uh, you have two dice twelve they call

296
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: them tokens. That's not the right amount either, is it. No,

297
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: there's eight. Yeah. I don't understand where they got twelve

298
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: from unless they're counting ones that maybe were retired or

299
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: something like that. But when you open the box, there's

300
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: only eight. There, there's a can we go over, there's

301
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: a wheelbarrow, Scottie dog, top hat, a cat which replaced

302
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: the iron in two thousand thirteen, there's a big, big

303
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: two do because Parker Brothers has bro was like, we

304
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: haven't made a lot of money off of this for

305
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: a couple of months, so let's just do something. Well,

306
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: they let people vote at least, which is kind of cool, right,

307
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: but it was also did you see the other ones

308
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: that they were voting for. It's like a robot, like

309
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: Richie Richards a guitar. They didn't they didn't make the

310
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: cut though. No, they got voted out and the cat

311
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: got voted in. The iron got booted. Yeah, it only

312
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: got eight percent of the vote. There's the classic shoe

313
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: of course, or boot, which is modeled after a nineteen

314
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: thirties working shoe, and I think they've kept it the same. Yeah,

315
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: that's one of the original ones. The Scottie Dog was

316
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: not one of the originals that came in the fifties. Yeah,

317
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: and I think that was supposed to be the companion

318
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: of uh millburn money. Denny is there right, Denny bags

319
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: should be cash bags, fat stacks, stacks. There was a

320
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: cannon which has since been retired. Yeah, and if they

321
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: thought it was two militaries, well the cannon and the battleship. Yeah,

322
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: they were from a failed game called Conflict, and they

323
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: were like, well, we got all these pieces, so let's

324
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: just throw them in Monopoly for now. Right. It's pretty smart.

325
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: But they faced the cannon out because it's just too

326
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: overtly violent. Um, it just says with any without any

327
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: fanfare or vote or campaign. So probably, yeah, it would

328
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: be my guess if it's hush hush, yeah, it's probably

329
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: because of violence. There's a conspiracy of foot. There's the

330
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: race car. Yeah, every little kid's favorite, which apparently had

331
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: a number three on the side for a little while. Yeah,

332
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, they are in hart I

333
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: guess so. Uh, or purse has been retired. Yeah, the

334
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: rocking horse was retired. Yep, the lantern was retired. Oh yeah,

335
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing my best ben bowling pressing. Did you do

336
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: did you get wheelbarrow in there yet? I think I know,

337
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: yes I did. It was the first one I said,

338
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: could you say top hat? Yeah? That was always my favorite. Actually,

339
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: I I don't remember what my favorite was. It fit

340
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: on my pinking and I used to draw faces. Uh

341
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: the horse and rider which is retired, which I didn't know.

342
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: That's one of the best pieces to me. What you

343
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: didn't know is retired. Now yeah, I'm just kind of sad. Yeah,

344
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: and now there and the sack of money was retired

345
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: as well, the sack of money in a purse. Those

346
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: are a little similar. Yeah. The cat come on, yeah,

347
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: cat people, that's exactly right. I guarantee that's why they

348
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: got cat voted in. And I am a cat person,

349
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, and even you think it's stupid, exactly. So

350
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: those are the tokens. Some of those tokens that we

351
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: mentioned you're going to find in the two thousand and

352
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: eight set. Yeah, and that is your piece. That is

353
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: what represents you in the game. Again for the three

354
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: people who have never played Monopoly, right, yeah, because supposedly, um,

355
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: at least as far as Hasbro calculates, over one billion

356
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: people have played Monopoly, and frankly, I'm surprised as that low.

357
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: It sounds like an old number. Yeah. Um, okay, So

358
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: you've got the box open, you get the board, you

359
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: got two dice, you got the tokens, thirty two houses

360
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: in twelve hotels, uh, sixteen chance cards, sixteen community Chess cards. Yeah,

361
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: a title D card for each property. It's got the

362
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: information on it, like how much it costs to purchase

363
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: how much rent is depending on how many houses or

364
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: hotels you have on it, Yeah, what the mortgage value

365
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: is worth, that's right. Um, and then you've got your

366
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: your play money, your monopoly money, which man, I think

367
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: that's where it grabs kids because and they even pointed

368
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: out in this article that's um, it's kind of the

369
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: first time a lot of kids have money to play with. Yeah,

370
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: especially the bill wants. Oh man, that gold bill I

371
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: always thought was orange? Is it gold? Uh? Yeah, one's

372
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: definitely golden rod like yellow. But I remember was, Yeah,

373
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: I guess gold is a way to go. Uh see,

374
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: I was a cash hoarder, which is no way to

375
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: win a monopoly. No. I thought it was can't save. No.

376
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: I just thought that just figures for me though, Like

377
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: you gotta spend money to make money. Yeah, I was like,

378
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: look at all this cash that I will soon be

379
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: paying to everyone else. Just keep wandering off from the

380
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: table and try to buy stuff with it. Did not work.

381
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: So Chuck, you've got the board laid out, and if

382
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: you count them, if you're that kind of person, yeah,

383
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: you're going to find that there's forty squares. That's right.

384
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: I believe twenty two of which are um no, twenty

385
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: eight of which can be purchased. Yeah, twenty two our properties.

386
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: You've got your your electric company and water works. Yeah,

387
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: sucker's bet. And then you've got the four railroads. Four railroads,

388
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 1: So that's that's right. There are others that you can't buy. So,

389
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: for example, there's a luxury tax square. Yeah, you gotta

390
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: pay what a hundred dollars when you land on that,

391
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: I believe, so just right out of just right out

392
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: of your pocket. There's an income tax square. Yeah, no good.

393
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: There's the go square, which is where you start, and

394
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: then when you come back around you collect two hundred dollars,

395
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: which is in Monopoly called your salary. That's right. I

396
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: never knew that. I didn't either. And there's a lot

397
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: of rules in here. Uh. And then I guess it's

398
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: a good time to point out Monopoly is one of

399
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: those games where house rules are highly encouraged, uh, and

400
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the fun of the game, and in fact,

401
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: to make more money Monopoly this year had are incorporating

402
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: the top house rules as voted on by fans as

403
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: official rules for this one verse in a seventy dollar

404
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: hardback book. I don't see why a lot of people

405
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: were in since they were like, we've no one plays

406
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: by the real rules anyway, so why bother packaging it

407
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: and selling it? And they went, I think you just

408
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: said the word sell. Someone say sell. There in lies

409
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: the answer. So you've got oh, there's and so there's

410
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: forty squares, but there's actually forty one places you can

411
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: go to on the board because jail is divided into

412
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: two squares. That right, you got the jail with the jailbird.

413
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: What's his name? Uh, I can't remember, Johnny Jailbird or something,

414
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Jake the jailbird, right, okay, which is where Jake the

415
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: jailbird is. And then you've got the lower part of it. Um,

416
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: it's just visiting. Yeah, if you want to visit Jake,

417
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: give him a bunt cake with the nail filing at

418
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: the very old school, or a monopoly set with um,

419
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: maybe a map with an escape route embedded in it. Hey,

420
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: that sounds familiar. Yeah, POWs and World War two were

421
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: given such monopoly sets, true, which is strange to Maybe

422
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: it's like where the nazis allowing monopoly sets to be

423
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: delivered to POWs. Is that what I'm seeing here? Maybe

424
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: it's the Burmese. I mean, you've seen the like The

425
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: Great Escape, on those those the war prison camps in

426
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: World War Two. It seemed like a lot of them.

427
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: They let him like garden and they were kind of

428
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: chummy with him. He saw Hoggan's heroes. I saw Hoggan's

429
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: heroes and didn't put a lot of stock into it. Yeah,

430
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, I just figured it played soccer. Maybe

431
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: the Japanese or the Burmese or the the Italians. I

432
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: could see like saying like, yeah, he bring the monopoly

433
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: and who cares? But the Nazis, I would think, would

434
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: I just don't see that. Yeah, I'm not saying it

435
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: was a walk in the park, but I think from

436
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: the depiction and uh like, like I said, like the

437
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: Great Escape, it's not like Vietnam prison camp. Oh yeah,

438
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: you know, like they weren't playing soccer or or Monopoly.

439
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: They were playing Survive Another Day that game. Um, I'm

440
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: not making line of that, by the way. Oh I

441
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: didn't think you were. And I'm basing everything on more movies,

442
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: so I'm probably wrong. And I've seen Uncommon Valor. That

443
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: was a good movie. That was a great movie. It

444
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: doesn't age well though, really remember that menu with the

445
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: gun silhouettes on it. Oh yeah, and when you're twelves,

446
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god. Yeah, it's like I would

447
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: buy that one in that one. Um. All right, so

448
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: where were we we were talking about? Um, the board itself. Yes,

449
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: in the different squares, Yes, there are the cards that

450
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: you can draw as well, Community chest and chance squares.

451
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 1: When you land on these, you draw a card from

452
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: one of those two piles, and there are various things

453
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: in there, like you want to fashion modeling contest you

454
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: get ten dollars, and their dog show one in there too.

455
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: I think there's probably a dog show. And there's also

456
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, you have street repairs or um those are

457
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: big time general repairs and that's based on your properties

458
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: that you ownson. They can can getch you pretty hard. Yeah. Yeah,

459
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: like in real life. That's right, you know. Um, And

460
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: that's funny because the monopoly what was her name, Lizzie

461
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Maggie In an interview, um, she gave with some leftist

462
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: magazine at the time. Um, she said she basically called

463
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: the thing the Game of Life. Yeah, that was already

464
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: taken out. I don't know, was it. Yeah, that was

465
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: that's around since the like Midreds. I thought she was

466
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: being pressing it. Now she was being a glib she

467
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: was she was making a pop culture reference for the

468
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: time exactly. But did you know apparently there used to

469
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: be a square on the Game of Life board for suicide.

470
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Really it was the way you could go. I never

471
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: really played that. I think I played it a couple

472
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: of times. I never did either. I always thought it

473
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: was kind of like you get the whole family in

474
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: the car and it's like whatever. Yeah, we we did um.

475
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean we weren't the biggest game players as families,

476
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: but we did Monopoly some in Yatsi was a big one,

477
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: great that I still enjoyed today. How to Love Yatsie. Yeah.

478
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: We also played this game called Bull, and it was

479
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: like a stock trading game with cards. And it's just

480
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: now occurring to me that all these games are just

481
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: teaching you about life. Yeah, it's like real monopolies, nothing

482
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: but real estate. Uh, the game of Life is everything.

483
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: This game Bull was about the stock market. Sorry, it

484
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: was about um sarcastic. Sorry because you had to say

485
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: it like a jerk. Candy Land, we know what that's

486
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: all about. Yeah, drugs, right, probably shoots and ladders tell

487
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: you to stay away from snakes. Yeah. Operation taught you

488
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: how to be a doctor. Oh yeah, that's right, that's

489
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: where I got my m D. And then, of course, uh,

490
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: battleship taught you how to be a warmonger. So to

491
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: risk can take great pride. Risk taught you to be

492
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: the Antichrist. Yeah, we should do what There is an

493
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: article on risk I saw. I looked it over. It

494
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: didn't seem as as interesting as this one. Yeah. I

495
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: don't know if the history is as interesting. And I mean,

496
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: isn't that what what's interesting about any game, the history

497
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: of it? Yeah? I think so. So. Um, let's talk

498
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: about the rules, dude. Okay, let's start at the beginning.

499
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: We'll start it. Go go is where you start, and

500
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: that's where you, like you said, you collect the two

501
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: hundred every time you land on it or pass it.

502
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes house rules, Uh you get four hundred for actually

503
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: landing on it and only two hundred for passing it.

504
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: We never good. But free parking is where we had

505
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: house rules. Um, that is a space on the corner

506
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: of the board where you supposedly for the official rules,

507
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: don't do anything. Yeah, there's nothing, it's just a space.

508
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: But what we did was we donated all the collected

509
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: taxes and fees and put it under free parking, and

510
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: if you land on that, that was like a lottery win.

511
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and a lot of people play that. Think

512
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: I've heard of that one before. I liked it because

513
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: it allows you more money, which is my favorite thing. Cash.

514
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: It's a latto, yeah exactly. Uh, we got ahead of ourselves.

515
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: Let's just start at the real beginning. So everybody sits

516
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: down at the table. Yeah, maybecause somebody, yeah, somebody gets

517
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: a drink. Maybe you have to wait because somebody has

518
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom. So you're all sitting there quietly.

519
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: And then when everybody's finally at the table, you guys

520
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: select a banker, and the banker distributes the monopoly money

521
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: to each player to five hundreds, to fifties, six twenties,

522
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: and five tens, five fives and five ones, seen hundred dollars.

523
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: And the goal of the game that we are getting

524
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: to here at thirty minutes in is to bankrupt all

525
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: of your family and friends. That's the whole point pretty much. Um.

526
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: Some people put a time limit because this game can

527
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: go on forever. Um and other people say no, it's

528
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: got a you gotta finish it by bankrupting everyone or

529
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: until the last person is like, I give ease, I've

530
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: got eight dollars. I hate this game. Yeah, that's usually

531
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: me and Emily's usually has her foot on my throat.

532
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. We played two person Monopoly, which is

533
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: just not fun. Yeah, because you know one of you

534
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: is gonna lose. No, that's not why. It's just it's

535
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: a game that's more fun with more people. I think, Yeah,

536
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: I got it. Yeah, um so okay, so everybody's got

537
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks. You roll the dice to see who goes first.

538
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: Whoever rolls the highest goes first. Classic. Then you roll

539
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: both die and you start moving from the ghost square

540
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: and you go clockwise around the board. And when you

541
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: land on a property this I didn't know, which is

542
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: a kind of a basic rule, I guess, but I

543
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: never played it this way. When you land on a property,

544
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: you have the option to buy it. I knew that part.

545
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: But if you decline to buy it, then the then

546
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: the property goes up for auction. I've never not only

547
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: have I never played it the way, I've never heard

548
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: of anyone playing it. Okay, so it's not just me,

549
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: not just you, all right, So, uh, I guess the

550
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: during an auction, not only the person, not only everybody else,

551
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: but the banker and the person who declined to buy

552
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: it can bid on it, which didn't make sense unless

553
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: you're trying to get it for lower because can't you

554
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: start the bidding at wherever? Yes, you can start the

555
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: bidding anywhere you want, so you could consumably get it

556
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: for lower. And if you're playing against somebody who declines

557
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: to buy something and then starts bidding on a lower price,

558
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that person. That's a shark to win. Yeah.

559
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I hate that rule because to me, it's

560
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: just like, what's the point and rolling and landing on something?

561
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: I guess right, a first refusal But yeah, I don't know.

562
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't like it now. And plus the Quakers were like,

563
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: we specifically put a price on these things so there

564
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a lot of yelling. Yeah, we don't like yelling. Uh.

565
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: They had another game to follow called the quiet roof

566
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: raising ceremony. Those are not Quakers, that was the Amish.

567
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: They're different. Don't you think Quakers raise some roof? Yeah?

568
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: They do. Ain't no party like a Quaker party. All right,

569
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: So let's say you buy all of the properties that

570
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: you know they're they're divided into different colors, like there's

571
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: three green around you know, green ones, orange ones, blue ones,

572
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: light blue. Um, if you buy all of the properties

573
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: that are tied together by a single color, then you

574
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: have what's called a monopoly. And that means you can

575
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: then charge double rent, although we never do that. We

576
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: just keep it single rent. And you now have the

577
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: option to buy houses. And then once you have enough

578
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: houses I think three, you can then buy a hotel. Right,

579
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: and let's call improvements. You're improving your land. And once

580
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: you start to do improvements, um, things change a little bit.

581
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: Not only can you start making more money, but it's

582
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: actually harder to mortgage your properties if you are if

583
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: you find yourself in debt, right, because this is this

584
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: is how crazy complicated it is. Like I don't think

585
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: I was ever paying that much attention to monopoly that

586
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: I ever mortgaged a piece of land. Really, I think

587
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: it's like it sorry to get into debt or whatever.

588
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: I was just like I'm done. Um, But apparently so

589
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: if you find yourself indebted, and let's say you have

590
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: a monopoly, and um, you want to mortgage, you can

591
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: mortgage just one of the spots, right, But to do so,

592
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: let's say you have a hotel, um on the that

593
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: piece of land that you're mortgaging. You first have to

594
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: sell the hotel back to the bank at half price,

595
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: and then you can mortgage the land. You're still I think,

596
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: are you collecting rent on that land or doesn't go

597
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: right to the bank. Now that's where, um, you just

598
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: turn the card over and it's just you still technically

599
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: own it, but you can't collect any rents on it.

600
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: But you can't collect rent and everything on the other

601
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: two pieces of property or the other one, depending on

602
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: which one you own. I don't know, really you can't.

603
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: I looked it up. So that doesn't bust up the monopoly,

604
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: No it doesn't, Okay, so you still own the monopoly.

605
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: It's just that that one is mortgaged, and then to

606
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: get it back you have to pay the bank the

607
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: mortgage plus ten percent. Right. And this is where you

608
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: can get silly with your house rules if you want. Yeah,

609
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, like as far as mortgaging and stuff like that,

610
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: because supposedly it's a rule to where you can't Um.

611
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: The only thing that is not allowed as a personal loan,

612
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: and I did all kinds of personal loaning because I

613
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: was a Mr. Catch. What were your your interest rates?

614
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Did you break any usury laws? No?

615
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: That was a kid, so it was it was probably

616
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 1: just like just pay me back whenever ten percent or something.

617
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not the right I'm not enough of

618
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: a You're not the stark capitalin though. You're not the

619
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: one who like declines to buy something so you can

620
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 1: bid on at the lower price. I'm playing candy Land.

621
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: I loved candy Land. Actually I never played that. It

622
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: was a great game. Was it because of the art?

623
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: It was just crazy. It was beautiful stuff. And then

624
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: nowadays you look at the candy Land point and you're like,

625
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: poor kids, Yeah, they don't know what they're missing. I

626
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 1: just got a ticket to ride game that I haven't

627
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: played yet. Have you heard of that one? It was

628
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: a German game that's like one game of the year.

629
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: It's a train train game, like you established train routes

630
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: between cities. Um, but it's supposedly like it sounds like,

631
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: really that's fun, but it's supposedly great. I just blooded tire.

632
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: Did you at the thought of it. Yeah, it does

633
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: sound pretty bad, but no, it's it's it's one game

634
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: in the year. Why those Germans and watch people Ticket

635
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: to Ride enthusiasts will be like, dude, it's the best

636
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: ever I've heard. Like German game night is like a thing. Now, Yeah,

637
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: I think they're a little more heavy. Is that what

638
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: it is? I think? So this seems like I read

639
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: over the rules the other night just so I would

640
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: know what to do. And because you've got to like

641
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: the purchase over the game has to be the game

642
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: explainer as well. Right, you have to listen to craftwork

643
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: quality you play. Yeah, well you don't have to, but

644
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 1: it helps house rules. Yeah, so, um, I guess we oh,

645
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: and we said you you can do anything but give

646
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: personal loans, right, that's what the official rules stays. So

647
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: like you can I can buy from you on the

648
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: side or something like that, or you and hold something

649
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: up for auction, whatever anybody's doing. Yeah, and we always

650
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: played where you had to do that when it was

651
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: your turn, and that that would take your turn as well. Yeah. Um,

652
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: but again, the whole point is is to be the

653
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: person who owns the most stuff, So that you can

654
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: bankrupt all of your family and friends. And I mean,

655
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: those are the rules, but there's actually strategy to it,

656
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: and people pay a lot of attention to this. You know,

657
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: there's a Monopoly World Championship hopefully every four years, although

658
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: it's been The last one was in two thousand nine,

659
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: so we're due an American lawyer one right in two

660
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: thousand nine. And no, I think it was a Swede

661
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: or a man. Maybe he was the North American, that's

662
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: what he was, the North American champelon. Yeah, and he

663
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: represented the US and the World Championships. It sounds so silly. Yeah,

664
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: well he uh he used the iron but yeah, yeah,

665
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: I think the American used the thimble. Gotcha. He just laughed.

666
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: She was like, really, that's a that's a fact that

667
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: people need. Well, we're trying to really appeal to the

668
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: purists here too. We trt everybody to be engaged. Well,

669
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: now we're on the road, driving in your truck. Want

670
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: to learn a thing or two from Josh PM chuck

671
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: it stuff you should know, all right, okay, Chucker. So again,

672
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: the point bankrupt everybody, But there's like techniques that you

673
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 1: can use to more efficiently bankrupt people like the the

674
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: overall the best strategy. The basic strategy is to buy

675
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: everything every chance you have. Yeah, I mean I looked up.

676
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different people's uh strategies and opinions online. Um,

677
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: I did find this one from a guy, and that

678
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: was his strategy is by everything, it doesn't matter what

679
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: it is, even the suckers bet the electric company and

680
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: the water works. Yeah, which I don't pay off, really,

681
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: he said, by it all and uh, and never have

682
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: more than a hundred dollars in cash is his rule.

683
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: He says the number one people must mistake people make

684
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: is hoarding cash like I did. Yeah, you're making the

685
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: number one mistake, that's right. Uh. And he says that, Um,

686
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: by everything, and do whatever it takes to get a monopoly,

687
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: even a bad one, like he will trade to get

688
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: a bad monopoly and give someone a good monopoly, even

689
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 1: as long as he gets the monopoly. And he says

690
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: it's fine because then you know, you two will probably

691
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: take out everyone else. Uh. The point is just to

692
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: get a monopoly and improve it as fast as you can.

693
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: So supposedly, though, UM, a general rule of thumb among

694
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: like hardcore monopoly players is that while you're improving your

695
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: monopoly your properties by adding houses or whatever, you want

696
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: to stop at three houses because the jump from the

697
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: third house to the hotel. Yeah, is financially it doesn't

698
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: pay off. Usually it's over improvement. Yeah, just like in

699
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: your home, Like, don't build that eighty thousand dollar kitchen

700
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna get your money back on that.

701
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: So three three houses, this guy doesn't subscribe to that.

702
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: He buys everything and puts hotels on it. Yeah, he says,

703
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: as first as he get as soon as he gets

704
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: his first monopoly, he mortgages everything else to get cash

705
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: back and then uses that cash to improve, which I

706
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: thought was a little risky. Yeah, a couple of bad roles.

707
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a game of strategy, but the end

708
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: of the day, you're rolling dice, and so it is

709
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: very much a game of chance. I'll be that guy

710
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: feels like he's on the back of a pegasus though

711
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: the whole game, like he's just thrilled. He claims to

712
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: have won a game in twelve minutes one time, which

713
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: I thought was shooting his own horn a bit. Yeah, sure, um,

714
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: but real regular strategy. You're right, they say three houses

715
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: is the max you should go. Um, and then there's

716
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: also some that you should avoid. Even though it seemed

717
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: like very tempting. We already said the electric company and

718
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: the water company, the utilities. They Um, the most you

719
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: can get for rent from landing on it was ten

720
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: times a roll of the dice, which is a hundred

721
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: and twenty bucks. But it could be as low as

722
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. So I mean, this guy would probably say, well, hey,

723
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: it was worth it, Like I still own them and

724
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm still making money if somebody lands on them. But

725
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: a lot of Again, the monopoly purists say just stay

726
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: away from him, And you also may want to stay

727
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: away from the most expensive ones boardwalk in park Place. Yeah,

728
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: they're they're only two of them, and um, they just

729
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: don't get landed on very much. Yeah, so think about

730
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: it right out of the gate when you're thinking of probabilities. Um,

731
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: the fact that there's two of these properties rather than

732
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 1: three means that you are another player is less likely

733
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: to land on your popoly because there's three or two

734
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: instead of three. So that's one problem. The other problem

735
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: is placement. Where they are. They're right after, um, go

736
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: right before, right before. Yeah, So it's at the end

737
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: of the board essentially. No, I'm sorry, they're right before jail. No,

738
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: they're right before go, They're right before Okay. So that

739
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: means that most most players are going to well, they're

740
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: going to pass them for sure whenever they hit that

741
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: um go directly to go exactly. Yeah. Um, So that

742
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,959
Speaker 1: means that your your monopoly is going to be passed over.

743
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: The likelihood of making your money back recouping it, especially

744
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: if they're improved to the hilt like a really fancy hotel,

745
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: means that a lot of money. Yeah. You you've probably

746
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: sunk a lot of money unwisely into those You want

747
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: to go for some other ones, Yeah, supposedly, and there

748
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 1: are people that have done Uh. There was this one guy.

749
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: If you really want to get into monopoly, this dude,

750
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know his name, but just look up

751
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: probabilities in the game of Monopoly and Scientific America in

752
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: the mid nineties at article that talked about probabilities of

753
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: landing on different spaces, but they excluded um, community chest

754
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: and chance and being sent to jail. So this guy said,

755
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: I took all of that and included everything, and he

756
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: has a statistical charts long term probabilities for ending up

757
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: on each square, expected income per opponent role, average income

758
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: per role, expect a number of opponent role to recoup

759
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: incremental costs, UH to recoup mortgages. So it's the name

760
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: of his website. By the way, his monopoly was fun

761
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: dot com. It totally should be um, but um. If

762
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: you just want to do some basic probabilities, the orange

763
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: properties are landed on more than anyone else. Yes, and

764
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: why chuck because they are after jail. Yeah, six eight

765
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: and nine spaces after jail. Yeah. So if you get

766
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: sent to jail, which is going to happen at some point.

767
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: We actually we didn't talk about jail. We'll talk about

768
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: that then you uh yeah, chances are you're gonna hit

769
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: one of those orange squares on your way out of jail. Yeah,

770
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: because you're rolling with two dice, so you're much more

771
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: likely to roll like a six eight or a nine

772
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: than you are like a two or three or a one. Yeah,

773
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: it's not even possible to roll at one. Try it.

774
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't unless you eat one of the dice,

775
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: and in which case, unless it's a house rule, everybody's

776
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: gonna yell at you and have to wait around until

777
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: you poop it out to keep playing. Actually, our rule

778
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: was you had to roll the child in what the child?

779
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: Who ate the dice? Oh yeah, up, all right, So

780
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: jail um is in the corner of the board and

781
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: you can there are a few different ways you can

782
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: go there. You can draw a go to jail card.

783
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: You can throw three doubles in a row and go

784
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: to jail. Yeah, which I never understood because that's a

785
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: good thing, I guess, but it's also the sign of

786
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: the devil. So that's why you have to go to

787
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: jail for a little while to be clients. Or there's

788
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: a square or march to go to jail, and you

789
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: can land on that and go to jail. You can

790
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: also get out in three ways. You can have that

791
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: get out of Jail free card. If you draw that,

792
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: you can hold onto it. We could sell it, although

793
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: I think that's a house rule. You could sell it

794
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: to a friend or enemy, uh, whoever, whoever had the

795
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: most cash, right exactly. Uh. And then you basically the

796
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: other ways to roll to either pay your way out

797
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: for with fifty bucks or to roll your way out.

798
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: And the way we played it was each turn you

799
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: had one chance to roll your way out of jail

800
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: rolling doubles. Rolling doubles, right, yeah, um, and then if

801
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: you under official rules, if you don't roll doubles for

802
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: three consecutive turns, like you get three consecutive chances to

803
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: roll doubles, and if you don't on any of those turns,

804
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: then you have to pay fifty bucks to get out

805
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: of jail. We just played where you just got out

806
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: and you didn't have to pay. Well, then you guys

807
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: weren't following the rules. I told you the house rules.

808
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: House rules. So there's actually a strategy to jail. Yeah. Um,

809
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: if you go to jail early on in the game,

810
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: do you want to pay your fifty bucks to get out? Immediately?

811
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: Just pay the fifty bucks because then you can keep

812
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: going around the board and there's more stuff available to buy.

813
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: But later in the game you want to just kind

814
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: of hang out in jail. Yeah, Like Josh has bought

815
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: all the Orange spaces and you've got hotels on each one,

816
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking I might be good to sit in

817
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: jail for a few rounds. Yeah, because you can still

818
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: collect rent on your properties, but the fact that you're

819
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: in jail keeps you off of my properties. Yeah, and

820
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: all another Bryant rule we played where when you were

821
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: in jail you could not collect any rents. Yeah, I

822
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: mean that makes sense, but according to official rules, you

823
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: just make as much money as you want there, and

824
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: apparently in jail you can officially you can also buy

825
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: and sell properties and improve your in collect rent and

826
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: build hotels and houses, which I thought, I don't know

827
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: if you're in jail, kind of lose that, right. It

828
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: seems like in real jail that's the way it is. No,

829
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: it's not in the house and being jail. I guess

830
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: that's true. And technically you could probably charge rent to someone.

831
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: You could sub let it, like I'm gonna be gone

832
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: for three to six. No, it's true. But what happens

833
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: when this roster breaks trying to get let out of

834
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: jail to go fix it? They're not gonna let you

835
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 1: do that. It's very funny, but it's true too. Uh.

836
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: Probability experts also say you get a good return on

837
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: buying all of the railroads because they're pretty cheap. There's

838
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: one on each side, and once you have each, once

839
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: you own all of them. Um, they're two hundred dollars

840
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: in rent, So that's not too bad, not too shabby,

841
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: but to me, and monopoly is the reason monopolies are valuable,

842
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: but is because they're in a row, whereas the railroads

843
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: are spaced out. And our friend, the strategist who thinks

844
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: he uh invented the game says, but what you have

845
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: to remember is none of these strategies matter because you're playing.

846
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: It's a game of people in personalities. So he's that

847
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: you gotta sit back and watch the different personalities emerge

848
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: and then you manipulate that like the cash hoarder versus

849
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: the shark. And uh, he's like, you're really playing against people. Man,

850
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: that's interesting, I thought. So okay, So let's talk about

851
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: another friend, an economist friend. His name is Ralph Ant

852
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: spok Yes, and he back in the seventies had a

853
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: game called anti Monopoly. Yeah, he was an econ professor

854
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: at San Francisco State and um, like made his own

855
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: real game. Like he didn't just like draw it up

856
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: on paper, Like, he started a little small business and

857
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: manufactured it. Apparently sold about two thousand copies of it,

858
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: like right out of the gate, like it just hit

859
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: a nerve. Again. It was called anti Monopoly. And the

860
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: whole point of it was to break up monopolies rather

861
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: than build monopolies. Yeah, at the beginning of the game

862
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: is essentially the end of a regular game, Like everyone

863
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,959
Speaker 1: starts off with monopolies. Uh. And instead of real estate

864
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: and utilities um and anti monopoly, they had their individual

865
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: businesses that have been brought under a single ownership. And

866
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: you take the role of federal caseworker and bring indictments

867
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: against monopolized businesses. In order to turn return the board

868
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: to a free market system. You have to wear sensible shoes.

869
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: It sounds awesome. Yeah. Well, and he came up with

870
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: this because he was trying to apparently explain to his

871
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: son what was wrong and bad about monopolies and I

872
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: suspect capitalism to a certain extent, and he came up

873
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: with this game instead, like I said, sold a substantial

874
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: amount two d copies of a game, especially back in

875
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: the seventies that was pretty good as a start up. Yeah,

876
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, And it caught Parker Brothers attention enough that

877
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: they sent him a cease and desist letter, took him

878
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: to court, got a court order for him to hand

879
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: over his like thirty seven thousand copies that he had

880
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: in his warehouse, and um they Parker Brothers went and

881
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: unceremoniously buried him in a landfill in Minnesota. So UM,

882
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: Ralph didn't cott into this very much. He didn't like that.

883
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't like to be pushed around. I get the impression. No,

884
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: I mean, a guy who makes anti Monopoly is not

885
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna cave in the courts initially, and he did so,

886
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: like very much, at his own financial detriment. He had

887
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: a very expensive team of lawyers at first UM and

888
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: spent quite a bit of money fighting Parker Brothers for

889
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: the right to use anti Monopoly, and UM what it

890
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: wasn't really going anywhere, and he was losing a lot

891
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: of money, so he started to do legwork himself, found

892
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: a lawyer friend UM who worked on the cheap for UM,

893
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: and that's when things started taking off. Yeah, I mean,

894
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: he basically uncovered the lie that it was invented by

895
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 1: Charles Darrow. He found out that the game was essentially

896
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: in the public domain, or should have been, and UM

897
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: went all the way to the Supreme Court and one yeah,

898
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: he won at the Supreme Court. This ecoun professor came

899
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: up with a game called anti Monopoly one in the

900
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: Supreme Court won the right to name his game anti Monopoly. Yeah,

901
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean he he deposed the the two Quakers that

902
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: were friends of Hoskins. They were old at that point.

903
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: They took the stand. Um. He deposed the CEO of

904
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: Parker Brothers, and he took the stand and it had

905
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: to admit under oath like, yeah, we did kind of

906
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: steal it. Nice the idea from that lady Um after all.

907
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: And so, as Ralph says, the the whole point to

908
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: him was for this true story, the true origins of

909
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: monopoly and how it came about, the whole point of

910
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: it originally could still be told openly that what he

911
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: said um could be bought at any price. In his opinion,

912
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 1: that's right, So way to go, Ralph. Yeah, he wrote

913
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: a book awkwardly titled The Billion Dollar Monopoly in swindle

914
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: Colin during a David and Goliath battle, Anti Monopoly uncovers

915
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: the secret history of Monopoly. That's a little clunky, a

916
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: little clunky, but it's still around. Um. In there was

917
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: a new version called anti Monopoly too, where you could

918
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 1: actually be a monopolist or a competitor. So you got

919
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: to choose which I thought was interesting. And Uh, if

920
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: you chose the competitor, you charge lower rents and you

921
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: can improve property at any time. But if you're a monopolist,

922
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: you have to own at least two properties before in

923
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: a group before building houses in charge a lot higher rents.

924
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: So I think you're like playing against the two systems

925
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 1: within the same game. That's really interesting. Yeah, I'm gonna

926
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: I might grab one of these and see what it's like.

927
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: Maybe tell everybody's German, you got anything else? I got

928
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: nothing else. I do the longest Monopoly game of all

929
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: time seventy days. I played a game of risk that

930
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: seemed like it lasted that long once. It may have

931
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: it didn't last so long, but lasted a weekend. Okay, um,

932
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: and Monopoly. I don't have the patience for that. I'll

933
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: just give up. I'll take my cafe cash and go

934
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: home your horde of it. Yeah, you're like, oh, just

Speaker 1: I would say that. I was literally kind of like,

954
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,320

Speaker 1: don't know why this thing took Like, you know, they

976
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: they're like it never loses suction, it's very powerful or whatever.

977
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: I accidentally rolled over the cord to charge my phone.

978
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: It sucked the rubber off of the cord. Wo Yeah,

979
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,439
Speaker 1: I had to put electrical tape back on. It does suck.

980
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,160

1005
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: Then for live action animation, not live action, but for animation,

1006
