<v Speaker 2>all going to be available by Christmas Day, but it's

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:49.680

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>official way to put it. But when you look at it,

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>roll if they look like leather bound legal books that

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.559
<v Speaker 1>would go on any diction excuse me, any shelf, book shelf,

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and anywhere.

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:34.680

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 2>so we have them sitting on one of our shelves

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 2>and they look like they're beautifully designed and nice pops

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>of color. You know, it's always nice on a bookshelf

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>to have a pop of color.

0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 3>And please provide that.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>The prettiest thing we have on our shelf right now. Seriously,

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and folks, you will be seeing these in the background

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>of our shot you stand by. There's going to be

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>some video components coming with this podcast soon, but this

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>will be on the shelf for sure because it looks good.

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>The Vintage Bookshelf Board Game Collection they call a beautifully

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>designed trio of classic board games. The one we have

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 1>at least Battleship, Checkers, and Backgammon, and then Trivial Pursuit.

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Each house in an elegant, fabric wrapped book box that

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>looks just as good on your shelf as it does

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>on game night. Which of those I knew family members

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot that had Backgammon, but I never really played it.

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But what about you on these games? Did you play them?

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>So? I never played Backgammon, but Battleship with my brother

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent, Checkers all the time, and Trivial Pursuit.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>We were obsessed with that as a family. I would

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>go over to my grandmother's house actually with cousins, aunts, uncles,

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 2>and we would go crazy for Trivial Pursuit.

0:02:55.800 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>And they call these a combination of nostalgia and modern

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>craftsmanship and they are really cool. Look and now the

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.679
<v Speaker 1>one we have is a three game set that included

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Battleship and then Checkers and Backgammon were together in one

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and then Trivial Pursuit was in another. They also do ropes, Scrabble, Monopoly, Clue, Yah,

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>see go for candy, lamp jinga, Guess who trouble.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, those were all the games of my childhood.

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>So you can get all these games, folks, and everybody

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>has a game, it's usually a closet. And then the

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>top of that closet you throw your board games right

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and it.

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Gets all messy and the tops of the board game

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 2>get all destroyed for whatever reason, they get crushed and

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 2>from all the use of.

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Pulling them out.

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>So this is a very cool way to house and

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>display your games. Of those games, I think Monopoly probably

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>was the most iconic in my house. My brother and

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I would have weeks long games. But Scrabble, I mean

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>clue trouble when you'd pop that little pop pop remember can.

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 3>I loved that.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I like Candyland Connect four. Monopoly took too much time.

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm playing weeks long games.

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>And there was a famous There was a famous episode

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>where I had to get my mom involved because Eric

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>almost always won, and in this rare occasion, I was

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>clearly creaming him. There was no way he was going

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>to be able to catch up. And so he looked

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>at me. When he had that realization, flipped the board.

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>The board flipped it and I burst into tears, and

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 2>so I had to have my mom come down and

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>declare he goes you didn't win because the game wasn't finished.

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>That's what he was saying to me. My mom had

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>to come downstairs and say Amy officially won.

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 3>That was the only way I cal him down.

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like peeling an onion with his family of yours.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>All that reads for Eric, for you, for mom. It

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>all makes perfect sense.

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 2>A true story, and it's so funny you think about

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 2>your childhood, what you remember.

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 3>That is such a specific traumatic memory for me. But

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 3>I still love Monopoly.

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh there it is again, folks, whatever you like. If

0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 1>you want to seriously to stock your your game collection,

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>your board game collection, this is the first place I

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>would send you. I love it now, don't get me wrong.

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>There are I will speak at least on the checkers

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and backgammon. The board at least is folds into four pieces.

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>You have to unfold it, so that could be a

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>little annoyed. Don't know how long it will last. It

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>seemed like after so much use that might But other

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>than that that you should absolutely you know. How often

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>do you play a board game anyway?

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Hardly?

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Ever, Now I think the truth is Sadly, I do

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>think this is sad because we have phones. In fact,

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 2>analys was coming back from a group party she was

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>at the other night. She's like, I have the best

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 2>game for us to play when we're all together at Christmas.

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>But it involves being on your phone. She even said that, Yeah,

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>first question, is it on your phone? I phone for

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>this because they want to do it all the time.

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.799
<v Speaker 2>What's the one they always have to connect?

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I forgot what it's called. But everyone likes it.

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 2>So now that's obviously what kids these days do.

0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 3>But it is fun to pull out a board game.

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>But so to that point, we don't do it often.

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>No body. We pokest on your play board game once

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>a week. So that means they need to be stored somewhere.

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>And if you have them in such a package, that

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>can be stored anywhere. And it's beautiful, and I promise

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you if you leave this out, there will be more

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>board game playing.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>That's a really good point, because you forget what you

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>have in the closet on the top shelf. I actually

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 2>we bought a bunch of board games a year or

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 2>two ago. We were going to bring them with us

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>when we went on like an airbnb house. We forgot

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>them because they were out of sight, out of mind.

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>And so you don't think about playing them. You just think, Okay,

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 2>what's on Netflix tonight or some you don't consider doing

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 2>that because you don't see them this way. They're they're

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 2>fresh in your mind because they're in your face.

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 3>They're displayed.

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And I have and I'm going to show this to

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you Rod and let you react to it as we're

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>sitting here. But the ones we have, we have red,

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>purple and is that gray? Are the colors of our ya,

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>red purple us. But they all those other games and

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>look at how it comes up.

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, god, so pretty. So they have a

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 2>whole set and it literally is a rainbow. It goes

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>from red to pink, to peach to yellow to like gorgeous.

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Shades of blue and green. Yeah, this is so pretty

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 3>when you buy them all together like that. Wow, how

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 3>much does that cost?

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're going to get into that. And you know what,

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you. I'm not to a point where

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's too much yet. But the games, let

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>me get back here. The reviews. I had a hard

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>time finding reviews initially, but I was able to track

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>them down ropes and the reviews, I will have you know,

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>there was not they're not many, but of the reviews,

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>there was not a single one that's a one star

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>or a two star. Only forty six that were on

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the Amazon websites, so not a lot. But they all

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>say the exact same thing about this game. They all

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>love it. Everybody loves them.

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 3>No regrets from purchasers.

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Eighty nine percent were five stars.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's that's huge. That might be the highest five

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 2>star percentage in any of our gifts.

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Seeing it's a small sample, the only about fifty people

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that chimed in. I'm not gonna go and read the review.

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Just their titles, great quality and conversation piece. I need

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>them all. Wow, love these our favorites. Beautiful to look at,

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>worth it just yes, great, you get the idea.

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And we talked about this earlier.

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I have always been of the belief you have to

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>be really passionate and moved in one way or the

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 2>other to take the time to write a review. And

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 2>usually people get moved when they're angry or there's a problem,

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>when there's something they don't like and they want to

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>warn other people from buy it. So to have that

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>high of a percentage of people who felt compelled to

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 2>go on too Amazon and write a positive review.

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I think speaks volumes.

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>And I will mention we're gonna get into the price

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>here in a second, but you can get an individual one,

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>just one game. They do them in sets of three,

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:51.199
<v Speaker 1>and you can buy the entire twenty two game set

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>if you want, if you have a bookshelf in places

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to put it, So stay here. We'll get into how

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>much this thing cost, when you can get it, and

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>where you can get it. Stay here.

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back everyone, as we wrap up. See what I

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>did there, We wrap up our holiday gift guide. I

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 2>just did that for you because I know how much

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>you love my puns. We are a gift number fifteen,

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 2>and we might have saved the best for last at

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>this point, especially when it comes to the reviews and

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>how we feel about these gifts because we are using

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>them even though we're not playing the games. We haven't

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 2>played a game yet, but we have been looking at

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 2>these gorgeous bookshelf vintage board games. They have packaged them

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>so well, and it invites you to play in a

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.559
<v Speaker 2>way that it just doesn't when you have them stored

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 2>messily on the top of your closet or a drawer.

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Do we store it in the case like this, so

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>it looks like as an individual, it looks like a thick,

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>almost legal book. It's gorgeous, but it comes in this

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.439
<v Speaker 1>what do you call this, it's tasting a box a

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>little Yeah, it's a book.

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Box, a bookcasing.

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a bookcasing, yeah, that you can slide it into.

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:07.559
<v Speaker 1>How do you store it? Do you do it this way?

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Or do you do you could? Or turn it around?

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 3>Let me see what that like.

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Even doing it like that, even you have options. You

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 2>can you can actually turn it around in the box

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>and it still looks gorgeous, or you can take it

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>out of the box altogether and just have it stored

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 2>like a regular library book.

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.839
<v Speaker 1>I would almost recommend this with schools, like this is

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 1>a way to storm in classrooms that you can still

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>pull them out and you can put them all in

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>one comepack thing and maybe pieces aren't going towhere. I

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>absolutely do love this gift. I wasn't sure what exactly

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>it was when we first got it, but once we

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>research and looked into it, now it's the one we have.

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>The set of three costs a pretty pitty I guess right, one.

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 3>Hundred and forty bucks it's not cheap.

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not cheap. I would absolutely say it's worth it.

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>You can do it individually, and they're forty seven bucks,

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 1>so you get a little bit of a discount if

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you do it that way. The whole set of twenty

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>two is like six hundred and fifty bucks. Is that

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 1>what you were just saying?

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, six hundred and fifty bucks.

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>If you wanted to get them all again, that sounds

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>like that. One is a collection of fifteen excuse me,

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.439
<v Speaker 1>you would get fifteen books for six hundred and fifty bucks.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>So give's your idea. But I don't think it's out

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of reach. Yes, if you want to go buy Candyland

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>or Connect four, it'll cost you fifteen dollars. Maybe if

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you go to Target whatever that is. Yes, this is

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>more expensive. This is a better version given how we

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>use board games.

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I agree, And you know, like I appreciate what one

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 2>of the reviewers said that it was a conversation piece.

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 2>So people come into your home where they see your

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 2>shelves and they say what are these and you start

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 2>talking about something fun. You're not talking about politics or gossip.

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.199
<v Speaker 2>You're actually having a fun, nostalgic conversation. About the childhood

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 2>games that brought you joy that can continue to do

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 2>so in adulthood.

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 3>And I did the math.

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 2>By the way, if you get the set of fifteen,

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 2>that makes the books forty three dollars a piece, so

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you do get a little bit of a savings buying

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 2>it in bulk Bsickly.

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>When you see them, there is no way you think

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a board game. This is done well. Rats whoever

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>this is. WS is the name of the company, but

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it is done so well. You can get these on

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Amazon also. The company WS is what it's called WS

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Game Company, WS Game Company. They do have a website.

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.559
<v Speaker 1>You can get it through Amazon as well. I checked ropes.

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>We could get this delivered to us through Amazon today.

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.319
<v Speaker 1>That's remarkable that was availability. Certainly could get it tomorrow.

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>But I put in my parents address as well, and

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 1>sure not, they could get it to them in the

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>next couple of days. So it sounds like no matter

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>where you are, you can still get this by Christmas.

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 3>That's amazing.

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.559
<v Speaker 2>And I think especially for people who are at a

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 2>certain age like our generation, these are the board games

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>of our childhood. So it would speak a lot to

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>folks who are of a certain age, because we just

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how excited our kids would be about

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>getting a trivial pursuit. But in that packaging, I think, yes, well,

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 2>adult children now who have apartments to decorate, they might

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate this. But I would, genuinely, Babe, I would

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 2>like to play revial Pursuit this weekend with the kids.

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I think it would be so much fun.

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 2>We haven't sat down, and actually, I know you're not

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 2>a huge board game person, but.

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you would participate.

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>No, Look, it's it's the college football playoff this week,

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and I think you're asking a lot of your mate folks.

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Clearly we're excited about this one. We appreciate and hope.

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe some people bought some of these things

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to that's true.

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there were some cautionary gifts or just with an

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 2>asterisk maybe next to it, but they were all great

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 2>gifts thanks to our iHeart producers who picked these all

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 2>out for us to try out and give to you.

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>We've told you throughout the all the episodes we didn't

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 2>get paid by any of these companies. We were lucky

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.839
<v Speaker 2>enough to receive these gifts so we actually get to

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 2>keep them and use them so that is part of

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the tradeoff I guess of reviewing this, But we gave

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 2>our honest opinions about what we thought about these gifts,

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 2>from how they look, how they feel, how they're used,

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 2>to the price point themselves, but also just the reviews

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I think are so helpful.

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I think we were. I think we almost endorsed every

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>single item to a certain degree. We gave some caution

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 1>every tales and something you had actually used, and gave

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 1>your warnings and your experience. And that's fine, and it's

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 1>okay for everybody. But fifteen gifts, what was your favorite?

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember?

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I think of the ones we received, I think the

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Marshall speaker might be the best gift of them all.

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 3>It's going to get used every day.

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 1>How many have we bought for the kids?

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, we bought.

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 2>We bought the toothbrushes for the kids because I did

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>like that toothbrush a lot.

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 3>And brick, the charging brick, the charging brick.

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>So we actually got things off our own list.

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 2>We went out and got items for our kids based

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 2>on these gifts we were given to try out.

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's the best thing. Your voice got low.

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>We're in here. We got kids in the house. And

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>sleep in the next room were whispering about their gifts.

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's so funny.

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 2>You just automatically you do, don't, Yeah, you don't even

0:14:58.800 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even realize what I was doing.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, folks, wherever you may be, and however your Christmas

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>shopping is going, hopefully these could possibly possibly have helped

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you out. But we appreciate you coming along with us

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 1>on this Christmas journey as well. But for now I

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>am T. J. Holmes On behalf of my dear Amy Robot.

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>We will talk to Yelson
