Speaker 1 (00:00):
When the on air Mike goes off, the talk talk begins,
it's talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, oh one more time, Simon.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Honestly, somebody should use that. Somebody should use that in
a song that's kind of a jam. Somebody should definitely
use that as a basis for a song. I'm shocked
nobody has.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
They probably have, Yeah, they probably.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Because there's a ton of songs that have like kind
of a synthesizer sounds. Synthesizer sounds.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That's a very specific one, you know, that's super specific.
I mean, you know, it's kind of like the Simon
version of when Buckner and Garcia did pac Man Fever.
But somebody should use that. It was just such a
cool sound. You'd go like, oh my god, I can't
believe they're using the Simon sound in this song. It
would be so cool justin Bieber heads up, Shaboozy, heads up.
(01:00):
This is a million dollar idea for you.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
I wonder if the Simon sound is patent patent tint copyright.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Very possibly, I would I would guess yes, yeah, But
how much would it cost?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I don't know, because you know the speak and spell
like sometimes people use that, and I know that that
is copyrighted that.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Hey guys, copy written, hey copy written, Hey guys, what
this is episode two and twenty four.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yes, maybe we should like start with that, let people know.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Thanks for being here on our podcast and joining us
here on Talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Thank you. We do appreciate it. Thank you, Christy for
bringing it back around. It's just that you started with
a very polarizing issue, yes, which was Simon. I'm surprised
that you started with that because what we decided was
this week we're going to talk most popular board games
of board games that we grew up with and enjoyed.
(01:56):
Last week we pretty definitively determined at least that Simon
is not a board game. And I was surprised, Christy,
I was surprised that you opened with that. I was,
you know, shocked. I was actually shocked, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Last week I was set in my ways and my
feelings that Simon is a board game. But actually, after
a quick Google search, I know now Simon is indeed
a board game. Here, a board game and an electronic game,
the game that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
We all gadget. It's an item, it's.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
An electronic game. But they do have a Simon board
game in my I did not know that. Okay, but
they do have a Simon board game. But the electronic
game that we all know and love, Simon is an
electronic game. It is not a board game. So Martha
Quinn and Qreane of Alasquez, listen up, because you're probably
only going to hear this one.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Mean you were laughing over that, because I think I
want to get that on tape. I'm sorry, Christy, can
you say that again?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I cannot remember? I said.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
This is probably the only time, so Karina ruined it
for everybody.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
If you blinked, you missed it. But a moment back,
if you need to rewind the podcast, Christy did say
that Karina and I were right. Yes, clearally, Simon is
not a board game.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I was never really good at playing Simon growing up.
Were either one of you guys?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Did you play Simon growing up?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
I did.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I didn't play Simon until my kids were little, and
then we did play.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
It a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So did How did you come up with this idea? Karna?
What made you think of this?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Because you always talk about Martha a game that you
play with your kids, and I never heard of it.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
It's something Yeah, there you go. That's it? Is that it?
You say?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
You guys play amongst yourselves, and then even if you
guys are in different parts of wherever you're at.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
This game.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yes, yes, yes, there's a game that you play with
your kids.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
And I was like, I've never heard of this game.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
It does come in a board game, and I know
because I bought it and and it's code names. Oh
that's such a fun game. However, super fun game. You
have to give each other clues as to what word
you're referring to, like, but you can't obviously.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Use isn't that password?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I don't know, I'm not sure how does password go?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Password says like, okay, the word is dress something you
wear and your your the other person is your partner
is trying to give you the clues something you wear,
something you might wear at a wedding, something you might
I thought.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
The difference is you have a number of words, like
in other words, you're going to say, let's say it's stress.
You say you, you say, I'm going to give you two.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Words, Well, password, you get one word clues, and you
give them one word clues to try and figure out
the word.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Well, I'm going to say, it's remarkably like password.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Okay, that's what it sounds like. Yeah, and you can
play it online, and I highly recommend it. Okay, it's
very but if you can get anybody to play with you,
I love it. I was looking forward to it every
week that we would play it for a while, and
then everybody got sick of it except me.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Can you play with random people online?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'm a student.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
No, I've never found a way to do that, like
you can play scrabble online. Let's say, but let me
ask you, would you consider, because I'm looking on fun
dot com the top selling board games? Would you consider
Chess and Checkers a board game?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
The original og board games?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yep, I mean I feel like but aside from Chess
and Checkers, Chess is number one, Checkers is number two.
What do you think is the top normal board game
that you think of? You know, current day board game
that you think of. Do you have a guest kreen of.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Proms, I'll say trivial trivia Pursuit.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Trivial Pursuit is number seven. Monopoly is right behind Chess
and Checkers. Yeah, of course, it's the third most popular
board game.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It is the game that probably people most people own
a board of some kind, especially since they have so
many different versions. I have Monopoly at home. It's a
Bob's Burger version of Monopoly. So even if you're not
playing it, you have like a special themed Monopoly that
you always have. I should open it up. It would
probably be fun. I haven't played Monopoly in a while.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Oh my god, don't Christy?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, I have my sister game yet.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You might want to sell it on eBay one day.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Right, yeah, Martha is shoots some letter on the top five.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
No, it is nine. There is one that's similar, candy Land.
There's one probably number four.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Ooh, candy Land number nine. Okay, okay, I will tell
you what's right behind Monopoly is scrabble. I think we
kind of mentioned that. Right behind Scrabble is one where there.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Is Battleship Life.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh oh snap, Battleship number six. Life is not on here?
Sorry number five? Sorry not on here. I wouldn't consider
sorry a board game anyway, would you. It's not really
like a cardboard board. Oh well, no, I guess it is.
I'm thinking of the like the plastic one that you
can have.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But shoots in light, did you?
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, right, between scrabble and battleship is a game that,
if I'm not mistaken, involves a lead pipe.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Lead pipe? Ooh clue, Yes, that was just random.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I was gonna say, why did you get so excited?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Because because it speaks to Karina's true crime nature.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That was like the original true true crime right there
was playing.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I mean you could see Karina clearly lit up. It
was we talked about a lead pipe.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
It was Colonel Mustard in the library.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I was gonna say, so, what games do you guys
usually play?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What board games do you play? On the list?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Can I just tell you what game number ten is?
And I've never heard of it? Rummy cub Rummy Cube,
cub Rummy cob Are you m m I ku b?
More than fifty million units sold?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Spell it one more time, Martha, Oh, Rummy, are you
m M I ku b?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
No? But you know what they look like little well,
it's probably Gin Rummy the card game, but with these slides,
they look like little dominoes.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
It almost kind of looks like a Majong style.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, like dominoes, but it's probably Gin Rummy with these
particular you know, game cubes or tiles.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
They look like tiles.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I can't believe it. It's been around since nineteen fifty.
I've never heard of this.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Game ever in the history of everness. Never never heard
of this, never seen it in the store or nothing.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
No, never heard of it. I'll just quickly go over
the top ten if we didn't get to it, Number ten,
Rummy cub whatever, Candyland number nine, Backcammon number eight, seven,
Trivial Pursuit six, Battleship five, Clue for a scrabble. I
love Scrabble number three, Monopoly number two, Checkers, number one, Chess.
So what board game do I like? I'm a big
(09:15):
scrabble fan. Once again. Annabelle and her husband Andrew will
play with me my husband Jordan never she does not
like to play scrabble. I can't understand it. I think
there's certain people that like to play those word games, like,
he's not that guy. I'm always like, please just by
scrabble with me. But I would say scrabble is my
main jam.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
How about you, guys, Well, do you ever play words
with friends online?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Or is that too different?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And I had to get rid of it off my phone, okay,
because I was literally doing it constantly, and I had
to get rid of it. I mean, I'm not kidding
constantly shout out to my cousin Daisy. Though she is
the Words with Friends wizard, she would always whoop me
(09:59):
silly and I'm pretty good, but oh she's really good.
So yeah, I'd say my main jam is scrabble. How
about you, guys?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I would say the game that I still play is Sequence,
which you never heard this. Basically, you have all these
these deca cards, these two like deca cards, and then
you have to get your chips. So say I have
blue chips, Martha you have red, and Christy you have
green chips. If it's US three, you have to get
five in a row of your chips lined up and
that's the winner. But you all have different cards in
(10:29):
your hand. You can remove a piece, you can if
you get these jacks. You have to put down your
piece in a wild But it's a fun, easy game
once you get it. That like my niece plays. My
niece has been playing with us since she was nine,
but we like to play Sequence.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
That's one of our fun games.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
We still play Monopoly, except for with my brother in
law because he just gets too competitive and everyone.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
How come you didn't shout out dot dot that was
like the number one game. You play it like all
your family functions.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Because I was thinking of board games. But yeah, dot
dot is another thing. It's basically left, right, center, you
put three dollars in the middle. It's not a board game.
It's a dice game. Your three dice. You put three
dollars in the middle. You roll the dice and says,
if one says left, you give your dollar to the left.
If it says right, you give one dollar to the right.
If it's a dot, you put it in the middle. Basically,
after everybody keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, there's one jackpot,
(11:16):
and somebody eventually gets that jackpot.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
So do you have to keep putting money in?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Nope, you're just three dollars in and that's it. If
you run out of your.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Send the jackpot is the three bucks.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah, from everybody, from everybody, Every single person has to
put in three dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Play with three dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
But then as the dice roll, the money rotates around
the circle and amongst the pot, because if it's the left,
you move it to the left on your turn, or
right or the center on your turn.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Depending on where the dice roll, you move.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
The whole jackpot to the left or to the right.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
No, that's just your money, just your money, and you
could not get anything, so it could be like you
keep your money.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It's Banevelt and Andrew play these card games and they
are super into them and they will explain them to me,
and I'm like, okay, so I put my card down,
and then you put your card on top, and then
you take it and then you jump up it down
ten times and then it's like so complicated. I think
(12:16):
that's why I like scrabble. It's like spell a word
easy for it's so complicated.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yeah, I mean, and if you've got a big group
of people playing left right center, you can come up
sixty bucks, seventy bucks. We played in large groups before,
we played in small groups before. Christy, what is games
that you still play?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I'll connect four all day?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Oh god, she's Oh.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Christy's super competitive when it comes to connection.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And that's when you drop the discs and you have
to tick tac toe with four four discs.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Okay. Is it a skill thing or purely a luck thing?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Both?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
She just goes hello fast and it gives me anxiety
when I play with her, so I can't pay me.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
What happens is when you move fast, you know, that's
it helps because then you're looking.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
But I you know, I just yeah, I love Connect four.
That's tecto.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
That's the only game you play really right now.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I think Connect four because it's quick, you know, and
sometimes games last a really long time, they do. I
don't have time to be sitting there playing all day
long like Monopoly. You could be there literally like all
day long, and people in their feelings and all this
Connect four you get in, you get out. Dominoes I
really enjoy.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, that's about it.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I have to say I never played Dominoes.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Some people play a bunch of different ways.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's always a lot of different ways.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Yeah, it's a good time. We should play a game together, guys.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I know that would be fun. We should. I think
it's I think it's fun and it's good for your brain.
I'm sure.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well, shout out to the lead pipe for you, Grand's Alaska.

holiday shopping. Thank you for letting us keep you company.
If you're running around to the mall, scoring your early
(14:08):

to the last minute. So you have to pay an
arm and a leg for shipping. That's the main thing.
I all like, send somebody a card and it costs
twenty five dollars, right, this is the last minute?
Speaker 4 (14:23):

Well, oh one more time, Simon.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Honestly, somebody should use that. Somebody should use that in
a song that's kind of a jam. Somebody should definitely
use that as a basis for a song. I'm shocked
nobody has.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
They probably have, Yeah, they probably.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Because there's a ton of songs that have like kind

Speaker 3 (00:37):
That's a very specific one, you know, that's super specific.
I mean, you know, it's kind of like the Simon
version of when Buckner and Garcia did pac Man Fever.
But somebody should use that. It was just such a
cool sound. You'd go like, oh my god, I can't
believe they're using the Simon sound in this song. It
would be so cool justin Bieber heads up, Shaboozy, heads up.
(01:00):
This is a million dollar idea for you.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
I wonder if the Simon sound is patent patent tint copyright.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Very possibly, I would I would guess yes, yeah, But
how much would it cost?

Ooh, candy Land number nine. Okay, okay, I will tell
you what's right behind Monopoly is scrabble. I think we
kind of mentioned that. Right behind Scrabble is one where there.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Is Battleship Life.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh oh snap, Battleship number six. Life is not on here?
Sorry number five? Sorry not on here. I wouldn't consider
sorry a board game anyway, would you. It's not really
like a cardboard board. Oh well, no, I guess it is.
I'm thinking of the like the plastic one that you
can have.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But shoots in light, did you?
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, right, between scrabble and battleship is a game that,
if I'm not mistaken, involves a lead pipe.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Lead pipe? Ooh clue, Yes, that was just random.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I was gonna say, why did you get so excited?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Because because it speaks to Karina's true crime nature.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That was like the original true true crime right there
was playing.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I mean you could see Karina clearly lit up. It
was we talked about a lead pipe.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
It was Colonel Mustard in the library.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I was gonna say, so, what games do you guys
usually play?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What board games do you play? On the list?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Can I just tell you what game number ten is?
And I've never heard of it? Rummy cub Rummy Cube,
cub Rummy cob Are you m m I ku b?
More than fifty million units sold?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Spell it one more time, Martha, Oh, Rummy, are you
m M I ku b?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
No? But you know what they look like little well,
it's probably Gin Rummy the card game, but with these slides,
they look like little dominoes.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
It almost kind of looks like a Majong style.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, like dominoes, but it's probably Gin Rummy with these
particular you know, game cubes or tiles.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
They look like tiles.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I can't believe it. It's been around since nineteen fifty.
I've never heard of this.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Game ever in the history of everness. Never never heard
of this, never seen it in the store or nothing.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
No, never heard of it. I'll just quickly go over
the top ten if we didn't get to it, Number ten,
Rummy cub whatever, Candyland number nine, Backcammon number eight, seven,
Trivial Pursuit six, Battleship five, Clue for a scrabble. I
love Scrabble number three, Monopoly number two, Checkers, number one, Chess.
So what board game do I like? I'm a big
(09:15):
scrabble fan. Once again. Annabelle and her husband Andrew will
play with me my husband Jordan never she does not
like to play scrabble. I can't understand it. I think
there's certain people that like to play those word games, like,
he's not that guy. I'm always like, please just by
scrabble with me. But I would say scrabble is my
main jam.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
How about you, guys, Well, do you ever play words
with friends online?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Or is that too different?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And I had to get rid of it off my phone, okay,
because I was literally doing it constantly, and I had
to get rid of it. I mean, I'm not kidding
constantly shout out to my cousin Daisy. Though she is
the Words with Friends wizard, she would always whoop me
(09:59):
silly and I'm pretty good, but oh she's really good.
So yeah, I'd say my main jam is scrabble. How
about you, guys?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I would say the game that I still play is Sequence,
which you never heard this. Basically, you have all these
these deca cards, these two like deca cards, and then
you have to get your chips. So say I have
blue chips, Martha you have red, and Christy you have
green chips. If it's US three, you have to get
five in a row of your chips lined up and
that's the winner. But you all have different cards in
(10:29):
your hand. You can remove a piece, you can if
you get these jacks. You have to put down your
piece in a wild But it's a fun, easy game
once you get it. That like my niece plays. My
niece has been playing with us since she was nine,
but we like to play Sequence.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
That's one of our fun games.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
We still play Monopoly, except for with my brother in
law because he just gets too competitive and everyone.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
How come you didn't shout out dot dot that was
like the number one game. You play it like all
your family functions.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Because I was thinking of board games. But yeah, dot
dot is another thing. It's basically left, right, center, you
put three dollars in the middle. It's not a board game.
It's a dice game. Your three dice. You put three
dollars in the middle. You roll the dice and says,
if one says left, you give your dollar to the left.
If it says right, you give one dollar to the right.
If it's a dot, you put it in the middle. Basically,
after everybody keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, there's one jackpot,
(11:16):
and somebody eventually gets that jackpot.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
So do you have to keep putting money in?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Nope, you're just three dollars in and that's it. If
you run out of your.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Send the jackpot is the three bucks.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah, from everybody, from everybody, Every single person has to
put in three dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Play with three dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
But then as the dice roll, the money rotates around
the circle and amongst the pot, because if it's the left,
you move it to the left on your turn, or
right or the center on your turn.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Depending on where the dice roll, you move.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
The whole jackpot to the left or to the right.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
No, that's just your money, just your money, and you
could not get anything, so it could be like you
keep your money.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It's Banevelt and Andrew play these card games and they
are super into them and they will explain them to me,
and I'm like, okay, so I put my card down,
and then you put your card on top, and then
you take it and then you jump up it down
ten times and then it's like so complicated. I think
(12:16):
that's why I like scrabble. It's like spell a word
easy for it's so complicated.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yeah, I mean, and if you've got a big group
of people playing left right center, you can come up
sixty bucks, seventy bucks. We played in large groups before,
we played in small groups before. Christy, what is games
that you still play?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I'll connect four all day?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Oh god, she's Oh.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Christy's super competitive when it comes to connection.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And that's when you drop the discs and you have
to tick tac toe with four four discs.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Okay. Is it a skill thing or purely a luck thing?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Both?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
She just goes hello fast and it gives me anxiety
when I play with her, so I can't pay me.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
What happens is when you move fast, you know, that's
it helps because then you're looking.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
But I you know, I just yeah, I love Connect four.
That's tecto.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
That's the only game you play really right now.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I think Connect four because it's quick, you know, and
sometimes games last a really long time, they do. I
don't have time to be sitting there playing all day
long like Monopoly. You could be there literally like all
day long, and people in their feelings and all this
Connect four you get in, you get out. Dominoes I
really enjoy.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, that's about it.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I have to say I never played Dominoes.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Some people play a bunch of different ways.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's always a lot of different ways.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Yeah, it's a good time. We should play a game together, guys.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I know that would be fun. We should. I think
it's I think it's fun and it's good for your brain.
I'm sure.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
