Speaker 1: Welcome to them, Christian no Common Show podcast. We need
Speaker 1: to get into a big topic today about the one
Speaker 1: of the greatest.
Speaker 2: Games to ever play. Uno.
Speaker 1: Love get about Monopoly. You can destroy a family a
Speaker 1: lot quicker. You can tear a family apart real quick
Speaker 1: with Uno. So when we had our family holiday two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, the great thing was is every day we're
Speaker 1: playing Uno together, right, And this has been like that
Speaker 1: since the kids were a lot younger, but even now,
Speaker 1: almost eighteen and almost sixteen, they still love playing Uno.
Speaker 1: We love playing Uno until it time to pick up
Speaker 1: eight or twelve, and then we hate our family members
Speaker 1: grinning and laughing at us when they all go.
Speaker 2: One, two three. So I shared a photo.
Speaker 1: Of the other day of my daughter right after she'd been
Speaker 1: made to pick up twelve. And I'm afraid to say
Speaker 1: that this little upstart was flipping the bird to me
Speaker 1: father taking a photo, and I'm the guy that laid
Speaker 1: down there or another four pick up twelve.
Speaker 2: Hate to see it, kidder, but pick up.
Speaker 1: Twelve and some people take when they're playing games really badly.
Speaker 1: I got great email the other day from someone who
Speaker 1: saw it and said, Christian, my brother, we had a
Speaker 1: huge for out when my brother took go into Jawn
Speaker 1: and Monopoly really badly he was he was ten. He
Speaker 1: refused all offers of food and drink, span swore at
Speaker 1: Mom and Dad when they came near him, and then
Speaker 1: smeared the wall with his own.
Speaker 2: Feces like he was roady in jail. We never blamed.
Speaker 1: Well, whereas who knows the game of Kings.
Speaker 3: And Queens hit your walls clean.
Speaker 1: Yes, So a lot of people were saying, though, the
Speaker 1: big thing we were talking about was that I was
Speaker 1: playing a version of Uno. I didn't know that it
Speaker 1: is actually against the rules. You're not meant to It's
Speaker 1: called stacking where you're meant to go. Everyone knows if
Speaker 1: you played Uno, you've got the plus four car for
Speaker 1: pickup four, but you can't then put another plus four
Speaker 1: on top of that, and as I did another plus
Speaker 1: four on top of that, I didn't go pick up twelve.
Speaker 1: It's called stacking. I didn't realize it's technically an illegal move.
Speaker 3: I'm shocked to know that they're in the betchual rules
Speaker 3: of Una. You're not allowed to stuck because it's the
Speaker 3: best part of the game, best putting down a draw
Speaker 3: four and then making and then going double draw four
Speaker 3: and then the absolute dizzy heights of a.
Speaker 2: Third draw four.
Speaker 1: It's great because the person that has to pick up twelve,
Speaker 1: they're fuming and it's an individual game, but everybody else
Speaker 1: has come together to destroy this person, especially before that
Speaker 1: they were down to their last card or two and
Speaker 1: it's not going to go all the way back to
Speaker 1: the start. So one of those morning, does anyone else
Speaker 1: I presume we all play with the stacks all down?
Speaker 2: I think everybody.
Speaker 3: I'll be shocked if we find anyone who's playing by
Speaker 3: the actual rules of UNO.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just thought these were the rules. So is
Speaker 1: anyone else playing in a different version the actual rules?
Speaker 1: Do we all play stacks? We all go pick up
Speaker 1: a pick up twelve when we play the Great Uno.
Speaker 1: The other thing is that we found out is there
Speaker 1: there is actually a UNO World Championships, which are only
Speaker 1: about next with a fifty thousand dollars prize.
Speaker 2: The Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: We're talking about one of the greatest card games you
Speaker 1: can play with family and friends.
Speaker 2: UNO.
Speaker 1: I just presumed it was the rules to play the
Speaker 1: stack version where if someone lays down the pick up
Speaker 1: four plus four and you've got one, you put another
Speaker 1: one on top of that. The next person is going
Speaker 1: to pick up eight, when if they've got a plus
Speaker 1: four they put that down, then the purse is picking
Speaker 1: up twelve.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should also be able to stack plus two's
Speaker 3: draw two can go on a draw too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, follow way. I've just been reading about the history
Speaker 1: of Uno. It was originally developed just as an idea
Speaker 1: by a hairdresser, a barber in a tiny little suburb
Speaker 1: in Ohio in nineteen seventy one. He just did it
Speaker 1: was trying to work out or game to play with
Speaker 1: family and friends.
Speaker 3: So it's not Italian, No, No.
Speaker 2: I know, go figure all right, So we were just
Speaker 2: about arking this morning.
Speaker 1: Does everyone else play the stacks rule where you go
Speaker 1: pick up four, pick up eight, pickup twelve. Apparently it's
Speaker 1: not on the rules, but I just presume that's how
Speaker 1: we all play because it's crueler and therefore funnier.
Speaker 2: Ben, good morning morning. Yeah, we're good. So do you
Speaker 2: play the stacks rule?
Speaker 4: Yes? I definitely do.
Speaker 1: Right, So you play where it's plus four plus eight
Speaker 1: plus twelve.
Speaker 4: Yes, so I'm going to saw it. In high school,
Speaker 4: we had a Star Wars Uno deck and there was
Speaker 4: a Mace Window card in it and that was a
Speaker 4: plus ten. And we're doubled the deck, so it's normal
Speaker 4: deck in it as well as the Star Wars one
Speaker 4: and it went round the group twice. One of the
Speaker 4: guys got a plus thirty six.
Speaker 2: You hate to see it. I love to see it
Speaker 2: plus thirty six.
Speaker 3: Probably enough cards left in the Yesh deck.
Speaker 4: Well, well, we doubled the deck, but we pretty much
Speaker 4: just all just went mental and then everywhere and do
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: What, I'm happy to say that we're probably the only
Speaker 1: breakfast show in Australia we have a story about Mace
Speaker 1: Window onto the show. So thank you Ben for that.
Speaker 1: We'll give you a price for bringing about the name.
Speaker 1: That's him been said in about ten years.
Speaker 2: It is beautiful. It's a beautiful thing. Shut up, Mace Window,
Speaker 2: Leecy now, thank you very much. You call mate no
Speaker 2: way than just bye, Chris, good morning.
Speaker 5: Yeah morning team. Yes, so yeah, we used to do
Speaker 5: the stacking game during lockdown. It was to go to
Speaker 5: sort of game, you know, and we started stacking fours
Speaker 5: and then started stacking two's on top of fours, so
Speaker 5: it was basically all in. But it led to too
Speaker 5: many fights. So we've actually reverted back to the rules
Speaker 5: because everyone either throws that throws their cards in the
Speaker 5: air and storms off, and it can it can lead
Speaker 5: to quite a very especially during lockdown, a very tense,
Speaker 5: very stressful period within the household. So we've all agreed
Speaker 5: that rule.
Speaker 4: Going to play by the.
Speaker 3: Rules the family.
Speaker 6: The family, No exactly.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's much more civilized now.
Speaker 2: So Chris, thank you very much and coiled, I have
Speaker 2: a good day.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 3: I was happy with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: Plus at the stack coming soon to Channel seven. Have
Speaker 1: we got ahead, Tyrone?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: How are you guys?
Speaker 4: We're going down?
Speaker 2: So are you stacking when you play Uno? Tyrone?
Speaker 6: Absolutely not. You'd be kicked out of the house if
Speaker 6: you do that. In my house.
Speaker 2: You can't hack the stack.
Speaker 6: You can't. You can't stack.
Speaker 7: So growing up, I had a grandfather who was an
Speaker 7: avid poker player, and when my brother and I used
Speaker 7: to go around, we used to play Uno with him,
Speaker 7: and he would play strictly to the rules and he
Speaker 7: would actually he would actually do the points and everything.
Speaker 7: If we yeah, there's a full point system that you're
Speaker 7: meant to do.
Speaker 6: And how many cards you got left in your hands, and.
Speaker 7: Each the wild card and that pay fifty points, and
Speaker 7: then any other picture card is twenty points, and every
Speaker 7: other number parts.
Speaker 2: Card is just People really know how to kill fun,
Speaker 2: don't they.
Speaker 1: Mitchell plays like that as well, love their grandchildren.
Speaker 3: Granddad probably won all your pocket money as well.
Speaker 7: Might There was actually whether we could go to bed,
Speaker 7: stay up late or not, but we always just end
Speaker 7: up going to bed early. So then I used to
Speaker 7: go play with friends and they used to playing the
Speaker 7: stack rule and I used to no, no, no, you
Speaker 7: can't play like that.
Speaker 6: Well, what's that's that's not the rules?
Speaker 5: Do you know what?
Speaker 2: Knife?
Speaker 1: Who really are sticklers for reading that inside of the lead?
Speaker 1: Hang on before we start, guys, it's just let's see
Speaker 1: what the rules says he.
Speaker 2: I hate those people. Just start playing the game as
Speaker 2: your own rule.
Speaker 6: He used to pull out that big piece of paper
Speaker 6: that used to.
Speaker 2: Fold out and read why they stop putting in further, The.
Speaker 7: Only reason why I know about this is because I
Speaker 7: actually have to read those rules to my partner because
Speaker 7: she raps it if we play it, if we play
Speaker 7: it my way.
Speaker 2: He's just not.
Speaker 4: Happy about it.
Speaker 6: What do you mean you can't put it too on
Speaker 6: a FOLI.
Speaker 3: Now, tyrone, you gotta start stuck in. Get some spos.
