1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to them, Christian no Common Show podcast. We need

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: to get into a big topic today about the one

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: of the greatest.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Games to ever play. Uno.

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: Love get about Monopoly. You can destroy a family a

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: lot quicker. You can tear a family apart real quick

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: with Uno. So when we had our family holiday two

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago, the great thing was is every day we're

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: playing Uno together, right, And this has been like that

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: since the kids were a lot younger, but even now,

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: almost eighteen and almost sixteen, they still love playing Uno.

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: We love playing Uno until it time to pick up

13
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: eight or twelve, and then we hate our family members

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: grinning and laughing at us when they all go.

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: One, two three. So I shared a photo.

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: Of the other day of my daughter right after she'd been

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: made to pick up twelve. And I'm afraid to say

18
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: that this little upstart was flipping the bird to me

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: father taking a photo, and I'm the guy that laid

20
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: down there or another four pick up twelve.

21
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Hate to see it, kidder, but pick up.

22
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Twelve and some people take when they're playing games really badly.

23
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: I got great email the other day from someone who

24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: saw it and said, Christian, my brother, we had a

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: huge for out when my brother took go into Jawn

26
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: and Monopoly really badly he was he was ten. He

27
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: refused all offers of food and drink, span swore at

28
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: Mom and Dad when they came near him, and then

29
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: smeared the wall with his own.

30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: Feces like he was roady in jail. We never blamed.

31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Well, whereas who knows the game of Kings.

32
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: And Queens hit your walls clean.

33
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Yes, So a lot of people were saying, though, the

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: big thing we were talking about was that I was

35
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: playing a version of Uno. I didn't know that it

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: is actually against the rules. You're not meant to It's

37
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: called stacking where you're meant to go. Everyone knows if

38
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: you played Uno, you've got the plus four car for

39
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: pickup four, but you can't then put another plus four

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: on top of that, and as I did another plus

41
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: four on top of that, I didn't go pick up twelve.

42
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: It's called stacking. I didn't realize it's technically an illegal move.

43
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: I'm shocked to know that they're in the betchual rules

44
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: of Una. You're not allowed to stuck because it's the

45
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: best part of the game, best putting down a draw

46
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: four and then making and then going double draw four

47
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: and then the absolute dizzy heights of a.

48
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: Third draw four.

49
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: It's great because the person that has to pick up twelve,

50
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: they're fuming and it's an individual game, but everybody else

51
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: has come together to destroy this person, especially before that

52
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: they were down to their last card or two and

53
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: it's not going to go all the way back to

54
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: the start. So one of those morning, does anyone else

55
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: I presume we all play with the stacks all down?

56
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: I think everybody.

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: I'll be shocked if we find anyone who's playing by

58
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: the actual rules of UNO.

59
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just thought these were the rules. So is

60
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: anyone else playing in a different version the actual rules?

61
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Do we all play stacks? We all go pick up

62
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: a pick up twelve when we play the Great Uno.

63
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: The other thing is that we found out is there

64
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: there is actually a UNO World Championships, which are only

65
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: about next with a fifty thousand dollars prize.

66
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: The Christian Connell Show podcast.

67
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: We're talking about one of the greatest card games you

68
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: can play with family and friends.

69
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: UNO.

70
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: I just presumed it was the rules to play the

71
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: stack version where if someone lays down the pick up

72
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: four plus four and you've got one, you put another

73
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: one on top of that. The next person is going

74
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: to pick up eight, when if they've got a plus

75
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: four they put that down, then the purse is picking

76
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: up twelve.

77
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should also be able to stack plus two's

78
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: draw two can go on a draw too.

79
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, follow way. I've just been reading about the history

80
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: of Uno. It was originally developed just as an idea

81
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: by a hairdresser, a barber in a tiny little suburb

82
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: in Ohio in nineteen seventy one. He just did it

83
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: was trying to work out or game to play with

84
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: family and friends.

85
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: So it's not Italian, No, No.

86
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: I know, go figure all right, So we were just

87
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: about arking this morning.

88
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Does everyone else play the stacks rule where you go

89
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: pick up four, pick up eight, pickup twelve. Apparently it's

90
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: not on the rules, but I just presume that's how

91
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: we all play because it's crueler and therefore funnier.

92
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: Ben, good morning morning. Yeah, we're good. So do you

93
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: play the stacks rule?

94
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: Yes? I definitely do.

95
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: Right, So you play where it's plus four plus eight

96
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: plus twelve.

97
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: Yes, so I'm going to saw it. In high school,

98
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 4: we had a Star Wars Uno deck and there was

99
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: a Mace Window card in it and that was a

100
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: plus ten. And we're doubled the deck, so it's normal

101
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: deck in it as well as the Star Wars one

102
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: and it went round the group twice. One of the

103
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: guys got a plus thirty six.

104
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: You hate to see it. I love to see it

105
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 2: plus thirty six.

106
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: Probably enough cards left in the Yesh deck.

107
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: Well, well, we doubled the deck, but we pretty much

108
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: just all just went mental and then everywhere and do

109
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 4: you know.

110
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: What, I'm happy to say that we're probably the only

111
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: breakfast show in Australia we have a story about Mace

112
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Window onto the show. So thank you Ben for that.

113
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: We'll give you a price for bringing about the name.

114
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: That's him been said in about ten years.

115
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: It is beautiful. It's a beautiful thing. Shut up, Mace Window,

116
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Leecy now, thank you very much. You call mate no

117
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: way than just bye, Chris, good morning.

118
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 5: Yeah morning team. Yes, so yeah, we used to do

119
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 5: the stacking game during lockdown. It was to go to

120
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 5: sort of game, you know, and we started stacking fours

121
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: and then started stacking two's on top of fours, so

122
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 5: it was basically all in. But it led to too

123
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 5: many fights. So we've actually reverted back to the rules

124
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 5: because everyone either throws that throws their cards in the

125
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 5: air and storms off, and it can it can lead

126
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 5: to quite a very especially during lockdown, a very tense,

127
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: very stressful period within the household. So we've all agreed

128
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 5: that rule.

129
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: Going to play by the.

130
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: Rules the family.

131
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 6: The family, No exactly.

132
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's much more civilized now.

133
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: So Chris, thank you very much and coiled, I have

134
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: a good day.

135
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 5: Thanks.

136
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 3: I was happy with that.

137
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.

138

Speaker 2: So are you stacking when you play Uno? Tyrone?

144
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 6: Absolutely not. You'd be kicked out of the house if

145
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 6: you do that. In my house.

146
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: You can't hack the stack.

147
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 6: You can't. You can't stack.

148
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 7: So growing up, I had a grandfather who was an

149
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 7: avid poker player, and when my brother and I used

150
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 7: to go around, we used to play Uno with him,

151
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 7: and he would play strictly to the rules and he

152
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 7: would actually he would actually do the points and everything.

153
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 7: If we yeah, there's a full point system that you're

154
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 7: meant to do.

155
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 6: And how many cards you got left in your hands, and.

156
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 7: Each the wild card and that pay fifty points, and

157
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 7: then any other picture card is twenty points, and every

158
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 7: other number parts.

159
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: Card is just People really know how to kill fun,
