76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the time and there was a big group of table.

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: I was looking for a place to sit and I

78
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: saw everyone getting up to leave, and I went up

79
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: to the table and said, oh, said okay if I

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: sit here, because it looked like they were leaving, and

81
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: he said, oh, only if I can stay. I'm not

82
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: planning ongoing and I said, oh, that's okay, Yeah, no worries.

83
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: And I sat there and we got talking and there

84
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: was a group of us by this point, and I said, so,

85
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: what are you doing. He was an American guy and

86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: he said I'm an entrepreneur and I said, oh, okay,

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: that's cool. Have you done anything that we might know about?

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: And he said, well, do you like board games? And

89
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: I said I love board games and he said, well,

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: I invented dictionary.

91
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: And I was like what.

92
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: And everyone kind of thought that it was joking, and

93
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, who would lie about inventing pictionary?

94
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, but maybe it's the kind of the perfect lie

95
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 5: where you wouldn't know the person who invented pictionary, isn't it?

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

97
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

98
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: But anyway, it turned out that it was true. But

99
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: it ended up being quite a long night and by

100
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: the end of it.

101
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: And Robin or Robert Angel.

102
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: Robert Angel.

103
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he told the whole story about he made

104
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: it in his apartment in Seattle, and I said, I'm

105
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: actually going to Seattle. And he said, well, will you

106
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: take my numbers here.

107
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: He found, I'll draw you like one of my draw

108
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: you in my apartment and here's my bedroom.

109
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: But he said, if you ever have any troubles playing pictionary,

110
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: just give me a call and I'll sort it out.

111
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:32,120

114
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 5: the phone.

115
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: I'm calling him coming up. Did he tell you how

116
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: he came to invent it? Was he a guy who

117
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: made board games for a living or he just sort

118
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: of created it?

119
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: No, he he just created it with a friend that

120
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: were sitting in their apartments and yeah, just came up

121
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: with this game and it was him and his mate

122
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: and then it kind of just took often games.

123
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: Sat with your mate. I think no ball games coming.

124
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: They would win in a fight between John Wick and

125
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: James Bonds.

126
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 5: I wonder if he has any understanding of the amount

127
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: of fight and blow up his cause from that game.

128
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,440

00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: There is no joke, you know, it's just a very

133
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: serious game.

134
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: Oh the great Robin Angel, Yeah exactly. But now we

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: have a new thing on the show. Okay, where last

136
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: year and the year before that, we would always give

137
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: the best call of the week one thousand dollars, right,

138
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,520

139
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: all the great calls we'd have, we'd playback some of

140
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: our favorite ones. This year, we thought we do a

141
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: bit differently. We thought we'd just give away the one

142
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: thousand dollars thanks to Mercedes Benz Berrick. Whenever we think

143
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,279
