Everyone Gets A Trophy!

[00:00:00] What you want, when you want it, where you want it.

[00:00:06] This is The MESH.

[00:00:09] We'll try not to like too much talk over each other but again we are girls and we are

[00:00:13] not talking.

[00:00:14] We agree to disagree.

[00:00:15] Okay, maybe one, maybe one.

[00:00:16] Well, let me make a bottle.

[00:00:17] A little.

[00:00:18] It's not good.

[00:00:19] I've worked out Teeberg, some grease.

[00:00:20] Yeah, I can see that.

[00:00:21] You know she's got that black hair.

[00:00:24] Hello everybody.

[00:00:25] Welcome to The MESH and Chick Chat.

[00:00:31] We're back.

[00:00:33] We were just chatting before we said let's record because Jeanette and I were catching

[00:00:39] up on our children and our teenagers and our rising high school graduates.

[00:00:46] It's gonna be here before we know it, unfortunately.

[00:00:51] But we're gonna stop talking about them because we may break out in tears or anger or laughter

[00:00:58] even at the fact that, I mean I have to laugh sometimes thinking about my child functioning

[00:01:04] on their own in like college situations.

[00:01:08] Like I find that it might be humorous if I was a fly on the wall.

[00:01:12] I'm trying to prepare as best I can the child but some of the stuff I just sit back

[00:01:18] and go, you know, because I'll get the whole like no, I'm teaching you this now because

[00:01:22] you're gonna need to know this when you live on your own in college or after college or if

[00:01:28] you weren't to go to college when you went and did stuff living on your own.

[00:01:34] You have to know these life skills.

[00:01:36] And I get the eye rolls or the mom I know or I get it or I understand whatever.

[00:01:41] If they don't, they don't get it.

[00:01:45] And so sometimes I just sit back and laugh and think about how one day, one day I'm gonna

[00:01:50] get a phone call of the mom you were right.

[00:01:54] Oh my gosh or mom I need help and you know I'm just gonna bask in the glory of the mom

[00:02:01] you were right conversation.

[00:02:04] Oh yeah.

[00:02:05] I mean, get the eye rolls.

[00:02:06] I get the laugh.

[00:02:07] Can you get the eye rolls?

[00:02:09] Oh I get the eye rolls.

[00:02:10] I get the oh my gosh.

[00:02:12] It's not that hard.

[00:02:13] It's not that deep mom.

[00:02:15] That's the phrase I get a lot.

[00:02:17] Mom, it's not that deep.

[00:02:18] Oh yeah.

[00:02:19] No, it surely it is that deep.

[00:02:21] Let me just tell you.

[00:02:22] You don't have clean underwear because you don't remember how to start.

[00:02:26] I'm not gonna just buy you new underwear and you can't just wait until you come home

[00:02:31] to do laundry.

[00:02:32] And you better know where to put your underwear.

[00:02:34] You know these little reminders I tell you every once in a while and you roll

[00:02:38] your eyes and say I got it.

[00:02:40] I got it.

[00:02:41] Okay.

[00:02:43] Do you?

[00:02:44] You know do you because the reason I'm reminding you is because you haven't got it

[00:02:49] thus far.

[00:02:51] So who's gonna be reminding you whenever you're off on your own?

[00:02:57] Nobody, nobody.

[00:02:59] So stop rolling your eyes and figure it out.

[00:03:03] I'm just doing it while I can but then you're gonna have to figure it out.

[00:03:08] You're gonna miss your mama.

[00:03:10] Oh, I tell her the same thing.

[00:03:12] I'm like, I love how you're like I can't wait to leave home.

[00:03:16] I'm like, I'm waiting for that call.

[00:03:18] Okay, how do I, mom, I miss you.

[00:03:22] I can't wait either.

[00:03:23] How about that?

[00:03:24] I can't wait either.

[00:03:25] I can't wait for you to figure it out.

[00:03:27] You know, I mean I can wait for you to leave you know but as mom to mom I

[00:03:31] can't wait.

[00:03:32] I can wait.

[00:03:33] I can.

[00:03:34] I'm gonna miss the hell out of them but like to their face.

[00:03:38] Oh yeah, I can't wait for you to leave either.

[00:03:40] I can't wait for you to figure some stuff out.

[00:03:43] Go right ahead.

[00:03:44] Have fun.

[00:03:45] At one point my daughter wanted to go across the country and I'm like, you'll last a week.

[00:03:50] Yeah, maybe.

[00:03:51] Mine too.

[00:03:52] Mine too.

[00:03:53] Cause clearly you know we obviously people know if you listen before I live on the

[00:03:57] West Coast, you live on the East Coast.

[00:03:59] I used to live on the East Coast and so obviously my older, you know both my kids

[00:04:03] were born on the East Coast and we go back occasionally to visit family and whatnot.

[00:04:08] And so they you know have friends there and connections there and stuff and they've

[00:04:13] talked several times she's said, oh well I mean what if I just went to you know Chapel

[00:04:19] Hill or what if I went to Lenora or what if I went to College of Charleston and all

[00:04:23] and we're like yeah yeah go ahead.

[00:04:27] Go ahead.

[00:04:28] Yeah that would be awesome.

[00:04:29] You know Charleston is beautiful.

[00:04:31] You will love it for the three weeks you're there.

[00:04:36] You know that's I just that will be great until you come home crying like I need to

[00:04:42] transfer because I need my mommy and my daddy again.

[00:04:46] I need you guys in driving distance somewhere you know.

[00:04:50] I mean some of the school she's looking at right now are still you know five, six

[00:04:54] hours away and stuff and so I'm like yeah it's still a big old chunk of time.

[00:05:00] This is not just like I'm sorry I can't get to you for breakfast in the mornings you know

[00:05:06] it's just not going to be that way but.

[00:05:08] Oh I've threatened to move to wherever she goes.

[00:05:10] I'm like I'll just move.

[00:05:13] My husband said I'm gonna need her close enough that I can like be there for a meal

[00:05:20] if she needs like something during the day and I'm like what?

[00:05:25] I don't really know that that's like doable he's like well we could like see how

[00:05:30] that happens and I was like well best start saving up your mileage on Delta.

[00:05:37] Right don't use any of your airline miles because you're gonna mess with your day trips.

[00:05:41] Yeah figure out I know or figure out a way to buy a private plane somehow.

[00:05:48] Or find somebody who has one.

[00:05:51] Get us a little PJ get us a little little private jet action.

[00:05:55] You better start doing zoom lunches.

[00:05:58] Yeah right going to East to it now.

[00:06:01] Um yeah thank goodness our kids were COVID kids right that we're able to

[00:06:05] deal with zoom I actually have a mom friend whose daughter is a freshman in

[00:06:10] college this year and again we live in Washington state her

[00:06:15] daughter is in school in Alaska sounds obviously.

[00:06:18] I guess not that far right.

[00:06:20] I know right that's what I'm saying it sounds like ridiculously crazy far and

[00:06:23] and it is obviously you have to fly to get there but like

[00:06:28] it's not unheard of a lot of kids here you know go to

[00:06:31] University of Alaska or whatever right and so I was talking to her recently and

[00:06:36] I was like oh my gosh like how is it like what you know I know you guys

[00:06:41] were tight like how do you how often do you talk to her like is she doing

[00:06:46] okay and stuff and she said well you know she's like it's funny

[00:06:49] she said when I was in college you know I would call my mom or I would like have

[00:06:54] these questions and I would like come home and bring my laundry or I would

[00:06:58] you know not not see my mom for like a really long time she's like

[00:07:03] we FaceTime like almost every day she's like and it's just

[00:07:08] the way that we chat you know she's like if even if it's just for a

[00:07:12] couple minutes she doesn't call me she just FaceTimes me

[00:07:16] and it's like hey I'm walking out the door head in a class just checking in

[00:07:20] thought I'd say hey she's like so I get this little face to face time she's

[00:07:24] like and it's different than I ever had when I was you know in

[00:07:28] school myself she's like but it's so nice she's like and sometimes you just

[00:07:32] feel like they're still really close by and she's like that's

[00:07:36] really nice you know she's like so I will

[00:07:40] be grateful for technology for that type of reason so she's like it's not

[00:07:44] you know as hard as I thought it was going to be

[00:07:48] because of little things like that so that's a little hope little little

[00:07:54] glimmer there for us right I mean yeah and I was

[00:07:58] so I went to school um in my hometown same and worked at my dad's office so

[00:08:06] I got to see my dad mostly every day I'd see my mom whenever I would

[00:08:12] go down off campus into the town and go to home to do my laundry I made it a

[00:08:18] point to avoid right right in the time I saw my dad at work so

[00:08:22] it was like we were like hanging out but um but I did hang out with him at work

[00:08:26] but um but when I moved to North Carolina like

[00:08:30] after graduation to my daughter like for the first year

[00:08:34] I probably went home twice a month if not every weekend because I was so homesick

[00:08:41] yeah and I was like oh my gosh this is horrible I was like this is probably

[00:08:44] what people experience and I was like 23 right I couldn't imagine being 18 and

[00:08:49] freshly out of high school and just away yeah yeah

[00:08:54] I'm like go ahead kid I will see right I want you I hope you thrive and I

[00:09:00] hope you are okay absolutely but she her whole thing is well I'm definitely

[00:09:05] gonna miss me said I'm gonna call in FaceTime and I'm like okay yeah

[00:09:08] sure but as soon as you don't know how to do something

[00:09:12] or figure out how to use like tip things and

[00:09:16] not have me there to be like because they just swipe cards like

[00:09:19] we go out for like team dinners and stuff and the kids are on their own and

[00:09:23] the parents are on their own and we give them money whatever all the

[00:09:26] parents are like did you tip and they're like what

[00:09:30] how much do I tip like well how much does your check

[00:09:34] you tip 20% of that huh oh my gosh I know I know these are things to keep you off

[00:09:41] of the internet and from getting canceled like little things

[00:09:45] yeah you're gonna end up on tiktok yeah embarrassed but it's

[00:09:52] it is it is coming we're gonna have to deal with it

[00:09:55] they're gonna be fine they will be fine so be it but we have done our part and we

[00:10:00] will continue to and we will still answer the call and

[00:10:04] won't always answer I'll threaten not to but I'll

[00:10:07] I know I'll be like I gotta get off it's my daughter

[00:10:11] yeah exactly stop whatever we're doing right now stop recording tiktok

[00:10:15] and and answer the call that's right yes well we're gonna move on because we

[00:10:22] could talk about our kids all day long of course however we do have some

[00:10:27] important stuff to get to and you and I have not talked in a while as

[00:10:32] usual we like to save up our information for these actual recordings which is

[00:10:38] nice because I get your real deal reaction on

[00:10:42] things and I have a very very serious question

[00:10:46] for you um I need to know what you did to

[00:10:51] celebrate National Scrabble Day on the 13th of this month

[00:10:56] um nothing because I didn't know what to think

[00:11:08] you and your you've raised your kids in a competitive family

[00:11:12] probably too too competitive but yes okay same same here

[00:11:16] um we sort of pride ourselves on the fact that

[00:11:19] we never let our kids win board games like on purpose like oh no when we were

[00:11:26] when they were little like we didn't let them win because they were the kids

[00:11:32] you know you had to learn how to play and then you

[00:11:36] play the game and if you lose you lose like you

[00:11:40] that means practice and get better right you know right

[00:11:43] I'm talking if you lose the candy land sorry you lose

[00:11:48] mama wins or whatever right like I waited a long time to be a winner at games in my

[00:11:54] life because I have two older brothers and now's my time when my kids were young

[00:11:59] I can win so um but yeah so do you play Scrabble

[00:13:07] again come from the the type of family that does this we are competitive as

[00:13:12] well it's how we play these games um they're coming out

[00:13:16] they announced on national Scrabble day they're coming out with a fresh

[00:13:20] version of Scrabble and people are a little

[00:13:26] up in arms about it um it's a little frustrating people

[00:13:32] Mattel has announced that they're coming out with a new version of Scrabble

[00:13:36] called Scrabble together and it is a new collaborative version of Scrabble

[00:13:46] basically made so that it's easier and not as intimidating to play

[00:13:53] huh yeah um Scrabble together means that players can have a shared goal they

[00:14:00] can work in teams and there are helper cards now to get a smoothie through the

[00:14:07] experience it's this this is a quote the new

[00:14:11] version is intended to make the game more accessible for players who find the

[00:14:16] original version intimidating this is the everyone gets a trophy version of

[00:14:21] Scrabble correct I'm not sure that is is man up

[00:14:26] figure it out learn how to play the game yep I'm not for it

[00:14:31] do better do better learn words right speak speak better

[00:14:40] fell better no bigger words know how to use a dictionary that's not online

[00:14:47] just look at the internet like there's words everywhere

[00:14:52] read the newspaper read online news I don't care what you do learn

[00:14:58] learn it doesn't have to actually be paper formatted like you can look online

[00:15:03] and learn like the full words not just like these hyphenated versions of the

[00:15:08] word this is that you guys use not like it has to be like okay

[00:15:14] okay and it like

[00:15:18] so it's not a word so not accepting that the vice president and global head of

[00:15:24] games for Mattel named Ray Abler says quote Scrabble has

[00:15:29] truly stood the test of time as one of the most popular board games in history

[00:15:33] and we want to ensure that the game continues to be inclusive for all

[00:15:37] players for anyone who's ever thought that word

[00:15:41] games just aren't for me or felt a little intimidated by the classic game

[00:15:46] Scrabble together is an ideal option you know what I say to that play

[00:15:52] play yachts play monopoly don't play Scrabble I say play charades do something

[00:15:58] that doesn't involve letters and words and the English language how about

[00:16:03] how about if you do charades you don't have to speak at all

[00:16:07] you don't need to know words because words aren't allowed

[00:16:12] how old is this BP I'm I'm this is crazy it says it's aimed at Gen Z players

[00:16:20] oh my gosh yeah according to research released in conjunction with this game

[00:16:25] are the least competitive generation of players

[00:16:29] it's the everyone gets it's the participation trophy kids

[00:16:33] Gen Zers wait are we Gen Zers no we're not Gen X

[00:16:39] we're Gen X yeah I think so I never know I looked up the age ranges because I was

[00:16:45] like who am I you know we're the kids who had to go at it alone when we got

[00:16:49] over elementary school like venture yourself make yourself latchkey kids

[00:16:53] make yourself a snack I was a latchkey kid

[00:16:58] yeah riding the bike to my friend's house I'll be back

[00:17:02] like throw up when the street lights on jumping the street lights on

[00:17:05] yeah um yeah it says that you know there's already

[00:17:11] this is funny that this is the next um paragraph it says there is already a

[00:17:17] version of the game ain't that younger players called Scrabble

[00:17:20] jr and I'm like yeah make them play that

[00:17:24] let let them play Scrabble you play that cat and dog are the words you need you

[00:17:28] don't need to know k9 and all these other things

[00:17:32] you can't play real Scrabble you don't get another version just play Scrabble

[00:17:36] jr that's it do you know your sight words hey those sight words you can

[00:17:40] play Scrabble then you're then figure it out let's see what's next

[00:17:44] monopoly we're like if you don't know how to count money

[00:17:47] you can just you're a partner and you can move the but you can move the

[00:17:51] thing I'll pick out the money it says that

[00:17:57] uh they're going to be putting this new version um Scrabble together on the back

[00:18:07] of all Scrabble boards

[00:18:11] okay so it's just gonna be accessible to anybody like that's also something

[00:18:14] else I don't like like you know what if you're gonna put this out there

[00:18:18] they have to buy it separately like you need to be shamed publicly for it

[00:18:22] like at the target checkout line yeah it needs to be like

[00:18:26] oh you're buying Scrabble together oh okay I get it you can't spell

[00:18:34] like you don't know works this is I get it you're buying this because you

[00:18:40] you're you're scared to play with other people

[00:18:45] you need assistance while you're playing this

[00:18:48] but no but now they're just going to put it on the back of everybody's board so if

[00:18:54] I go buy a new Scrabble board just because I have beaten mine up

[00:18:59] over all the competitions over the year um I have to buy one that has this on

[00:19:04] the back of it and that's embarrassing so I'm not for it I'm

[00:19:09] not here for it shame on you Mattel for giving in to the the downfall of

[00:19:17] education and just supporting um

[00:19:22] gen gen zers on their lack of spelling tests

[00:19:30] who knows I blame COVID I blame COVID um but since you brought up monopoly

[00:19:38] that's funny because there was actually more

[00:19:42] board game news in the news recently than I've ever seen before

[00:19:47] um did you watch Barbie the movie did you or

[00:19:52] your daughter or anybody I got through I think first

[00:19:55] I got through like maybe the first hour maybe my daughter did see it she saw

[00:19:59] it in the theater okay so I heard her whole commentary on it

[00:20:05] my daughters and I went to see it in the theater to

[00:20:08] to bleed into the hype and see what was all about

[00:20:12] um but now they have announced that Margot Robbie who played Barbie is now

[00:20:18] in the works to create and star in a monopoly movie

[00:20:25] in conjunction also with Mattel which I'm like I feel like she's just kind

[00:20:32] of I don't know playing into this Hasbro is also part Hasbro is doing it too

[00:20:40] like is she gonna be like

[00:20:44] is she gonna be in the board game like she was before

[00:20:48] it hasn't really said but I mean it's Margot Robbie I kind of feel like

[00:20:52] she's gonna put herself in it I don't really know

[00:20:57] um it says her company is going to produce it and along with Hasbro

[00:21:05] and Mattel and um they purchased the rights to it blah blah blah

[00:21:12] they it's unclear how they're going to spend the narrative from the two

[00:21:18] dimensional world of monopoly um it's no surprise though uh that

[00:21:25] Lionsgate has taken on the challenge to back them as well

[00:21:30] um because of the success of Barbie it says that

[00:21:39] it says that um Margot Robbie has a quote clear point of view on the

[00:21:44] upcoming monopoly movie um but just hasn't announced it yet which

[00:21:49] which means she doesn't really know yet if you're not talking about it

[00:21:53] that just means you don't really know um so I'm not really sure how they could do

[00:21:57] this but um but apparently there's a movie in the

[00:22:00] making of it um do you play monopoly are you guys monopoly

[00:22:04] do you play monopoly I mean that's a that's a that's kind of a big deal game

[00:22:36] call him mr monopoly but his full name is rich uncle penny bags

[00:22:41] okay yeah just so you know yeah um and um some other fun facts about monopoly

[00:22:50] just in case she didn't just in case you were curious in 1978 neiman marcus

[00:22:56] they um put it in their christmas catalog they offered a chocolate monopoly game

[00:23:01] and it was 600 to buy it wait it was made of chocolate yep and it was 600

[00:23:10] dollars why I don't I don't know that's something that will spoil

[00:23:15] I and and what happens I mean if you do you get $600 worth of chocolate like I'm pissed I'm mad

[00:23:24] um you know on the cards like the chance cards and the jail cards and stuff there's the

[00:23:31] the guy behind bars and then there's the police officer right so they they have names as well

[00:23:40] Jake the jailbird and officer edgar mallory oh so that was he said edgar mallory must be someone

[00:23:50] that they know that sounds like she is sounds like the creator was taking it out on somebody

[00:23:54] that she didn't like or something um it was created by a lady named elizabeth maggie

[00:24:02] and she created it to help people understand taxes oh yeah which I didn't I don't know that

[00:24:12] I've quite learned about taxes no but I mean bravo for trying to be like that I guess it's fun

[00:24:20] it is forever but yes and speaking of the longest game um of monopoly recorded was 70 days long

[00:24:31] oh my gosh that's dedication I mean like hell I'm not sitting there doing that whatever I do enjoy

[00:24:38] and I want to get I've seen the different versions of monopoly where you can get it like for your

[00:24:42] hometown yes so like I've always wanted to get the one from where I'm from in Ohio Athens

[00:24:47] Opoli and I've seen other people get it I but I've always been there forget to go get it or I

[00:24:52] can't find it online I have one for hickory um yep I have hickory opoli um never played it

[00:25:00] though like I didn't really want to touch it but I have the box and I mean the game's inside but

[00:25:05] yeah um yeah so it's you know who knows monopoly movie I don't really know um

[00:25:14] um we'll see maybe she plays the creator this time maybe she just sits this one out

[00:25:24] and let's say this is her niche right now so well like what do you do like with these pieces

[00:25:29] and stuff like I get like if you could have because I think that I believe I believe that

[00:25:36] rich uncle penny bags is modeled after jp Morgan oh okay I think so I think that's who

[00:25:43] it was like created after maybe or modeled after you know and um so I mean I see how they could maybe

[00:25:53] make like a show of like he's you know the penny bags is like a guy that's got all this money but

[00:26:03] then he's got like a business that is purchasing things or something but I mean what does he have

[00:26:08] like a a little shoe that works for him or like a little and a little dog and a wheelbarrow and stuff

[00:26:15] like that like I don't know how that stuff plays out I don't know I don't know in my mind as I'm

[00:26:24] picturing this it's like a bunch of real estate yeah like how do you incorporate the ship and

[00:26:29] the thimble and right it's all just like different shops like maybe this maybe the boat is like a

[00:26:35] travel agency and the dog is either his dog or a pet store and the thimble is a symbol or a

[00:26:44] so shot a tailor or something I don't know and the wheelbarrow is the lawn and garden spot

[00:26:51] lawn and garden yeah something maybe that's because I never really understood just even as the game

[00:26:58] itself like how all those fit in like why they have those like why they have those as right

[00:27:05] the options like what is a wheelbarrow doing on park avenue like seriously right like why is it

[00:27:13] buying Broadway right there's no need for that like that doesn't make sense why is the dog going to jail

[00:27:24] true bad dog why does a thimble get to do anything and where is go

[00:27:30] I why do you get money when I go when I pass go or when I

[00:27:37] why does that even mean there was a fact I saw wait there was a fact it says um that um in

[00:27:50] 2008 3000 people quote passed go online in a world record attempt

[00:28:05] what does that mean what do you like what you just circled around the board like that's not

[00:28:12] hard just keep rolling dice right like you roll and don't buy roll and don't buy and you'll keep

[00:28:19] going around go like I don't I don't understand because now it's apparently it's like a very

[00:28:27] popular app you know it's awarded every day stop I do no you don't yes I do you play monopoly on

[00:28:37] your phone every day monopoly goes what it's called yeah every day I've never even seen this

[00:28:44] what is it what is it like of what do you mean so you have to earn rolls

[00:28:52] Jeanette you play monopoly every day on your every day yeah okay and like you can knock down

[00:29:00] people's structures that they built my daughter plays too so she's one of my friends um my sister

[00:29:05] it's like a community game it is a community game you can add you know you add your friends

[00:29:10] that are like um you don't know just people in the game yeah but like you can steal their money

[00:29:16] they have to pay you rent you can earn shields to protect your properties you can earn rolls like my

[00:29:24] daughter has something insane like 12 000 rolls and you can increase the value of your roles so like

[00:29:29] to earn other things so there's like games within the game um but like you're limited

[00:29:36] to a number of rolls so you can roll one which means like you just get it's like one times whatever you

[00:29:43] land on so you don't but you can build it so like I run 10 times so 10 times I have my power like times 10

[00:29:50] so when I roll whatever I land on is multiplied by 10 so that's how you earn money and build your

[00:29:58] properties and you earn prizes you little game nerd I had no idea did you earn yeah you like you can

[00:30:05] just you earn dice um because as you use them you lose them so like I've been at zero rolls before

[00:30:14] I've been very upset about it but do you actually like purchase property and all that stuff like I

[00:30:20] mean yeah you build your property but like they take you it's different levels so like right now

[00:30:26] there's like New York and Las Vegas and the Sahara and like made up things like

[00:30:34] dinosaur land and stuff like that yeah yeah so you build up all your properties you earn money

[00:30:40] through your rolls or through stealing it from other people um it's called bank heist when you

[00:30:47] steal their money or you can knock down their properties and earn money and then there's a

[00:30:52] community chest where you can have people help you open the chest to win money and other prizes

[00:30:58] like rolls or yeah there's like there's like three or four different games within the monopoly game but

[00:31:06] you have to have rolls and you have to have money to do it oh my goodness it's fun

[00:31:16] I like have anxiety over because I'm like oh I'm using up all my rolls just to try to get

[00:31:20] this prize and I need to stop oh my gosh because I don't want to be at zero rolls you can only earn

[00:31:27] like if you use all your rolls and you don't earn them like you can get up to I think when you start

[00:31:33] out you can earn up to a max of 50 rolls um but then you increase your value the longer you play

[00:31:39] I don't I don't think I even know you anymore like how do we not know this yeah

[00:31:46] yeah holy smokes well look I had no idea whenever this story came up that I was going to come across

[00:31:52] this bit of news today yeah it's fun well I might have to investigate the download yeah

[00:32:00] geez you should be a app influencer like on tiktok all those people being like wow it's it's free

[00:32:08] to download yeah I don't do any in-app purchases but I will try to teach you highly against in-app

[00:32:16] purchases I don't do any of that did you ever play the mcdonald's monopoly I don't think so is it

[00:32:25] a board game when you would go to oh we had to earn stickers yes the little tabs on yes you got

[00:32:32] the tabs you had to put on the board absolutely yes we would go to different mcdonald's on purpose

[00:32:37] and just order something because we knew that they all had different tabs yep and you could never get

[00:32:44] I would fill out all the ones which you could never get boardwalk and park place you could get one

[00:32:49] and those were the ones that won your cars and those were the ones that got the big prizes yeah

[00:32:54] yeah everything else was like here's your free apple pie right here's your happy meal

[00:32:59] you know I mean but no that was like exciting for a while like when they did they haven't done

[00:33:04] that and you should do that again I wonder why they stopped that I don't know it I think a lot of people

[00:33:10] went because it it was like the thrill of the hunt it was super fun to like pull it and off your

[00:33:16] make you would get it off of like large drinks or fries like you had to buy a certain size in

[00:33:21] order to get it and so like it would be like the thrill like we'd be like okay yeah we're gonna drive

[00:33:26] like if I'm here now I'm like I'm gonna drive to hickory and see what I know right like online

[00:33:31] searching like what does this location have we drive to Virginia like yeah I wonder why they don't

[00:33:37] do it I'm wondering if let's see let's see what it says um why does McDonald's not do monopoly

[00:33:51] um oh yeah it was huge I would share with like my sister would get my family would get them in

[00:33:56] Ohio and I'd bring them from North Carolina the ones they didn't have and we'd yes yes people would

[00:34:02] you combine them to do stuff um it said it uh McDonald's created the monopoly marketing scheme in 1987

[00:34:13] um if you got three of the same monopoly square they could win a prize up to a million dollars

[00:34:21] um

[00:34:25] McDonald's hired a marketing to carry out the game distribute tickets uh tickets let's see um

[00:34:39] I think somebody stole money from the game

[00:34:45] how I don't I don't know what they're talking about here that's a dumb article it seems like

[00:34:54] this podcast is sponsored by Jackson creative a custom communication agency located in downtown

[00:35:01] hickory North Carolina specializing in online content creation to learn more visit the Jackson

[00:35:09] creative dot com Jackson creative we tell your story um

[00:35:18] yeah it says in 2001 the US promotion was halted after fraud was uncovered

[00:35:26] um the marketing company which was hired uh failed to recognize a flaw in its procedures and the

[00:35:35] um their chief of security for this marketing company Jerome Jacobson

[00:35:43] he stole the most valuable game pieces justified his long running multi-million

[00:35:50] dollar crime as his reaction to the other employees having rerun randomized draws in

[00:35:58] order to ensure that the high level prices prices went to areas in the United States rather than

[00:36:04] Canada although he did not take the stolen pieces to Canada he began stealing winning game pieces

[00:36:11] after a supplier mistakenly provided him a sheet of the anti-tamper seals needed to securely

[00:36:18] conduct the legitimate transfer of winning pieces he offered the game pieces to friends and family

[00:36:24] but eventually began selling them to the colombo crime family who he had family is playing that

[00:36:34] thought holy crap who he had met by chance at the Atlanta airport what it says colombo would then

[00:36:42] recruit people to act as contest winners in exchange for half the winnings and then in 1995

[00:36:51] colombo appeared in a nationally televised mcdonald's commercial promoting his fraudulent win of a dodge

[00:36:59] viper and in 95 st jude's hospital received an anonymous letter with a postmark that contained

[00:37:06] a one million dollar winning game piece although game rules prohibited the transfer prizes mcdonald's

[00:37:12] awarded the one million dollars as a donation to the hospital um and it later revealed

[00:37:21] that the security guy ceo of security had uh sent the winning piece to the hospital anonymously

[00:37:35] so he's the reason we didn't have part boardwalk or park place yep colombo's father-in-law

[00:37:41] came forward as the winner with a stolen monopoly piece and after colombo died in 98

[00:37:48] in a traffic accident um they found new accomplices to help him sell more stolen game pieces

[00:37:58] so this apparently went on and on and all these different things that he had all these game

[00:38:04] pieces and all this money that he'd gotten and then he was caught and convicted of fraud

[00:38:13] he pleaded guilty to three counts of mail fraud in federal court he served three years in federal

[00:38:19] prison and the trial began in 2001 and then it got overshadowed um because his trial began on

[00:38:27] september 10th 2001 the day before september 11th and then it says in oh it says in 2018

[00:38:42] there were plans for a film based on the trial fraud with ben aftleck as the director

[00:38:50] um and matt daemon in an acting role but there have been no further updates on the film the

[00:38:57] controversy is also depicted in the 2020 hbo docu series called mcmillions oh now i'm gonna

[00:39:04] have to watch that gotta have to find it well screw that guy like so now we don't have to

[00:39:12] play again monopoly i didn't know it was that serious like i guess if you're winning a million

[00:39:17] dollars and dodge vipers then millions of dollars so he just ruined it for everybody like we don't

[00:39:25] get to be in there and we hire someone else to do it like what if it's a different company like

[00:39:29] let's play scrabble mcdonald's scrabble what if it's like let's grab it together scrabble together

[00:39:38] you can have more than one winner because everyone's a winner everybody plays together

[00:39:42] um we can do easy words like prize it says that many of the prizes are still unclaimed

[00:39:52] for example in 2018 25 million instant food prizes were offered in the promotions however

[00:40:00] only eight million prizes were ever claimed and out of 20 mini coopers that were offered in

[00:40:07] the prizes only six were claimed i'm one of those who didn't claim all the food prizes i agreed

[00:40:15] saying maybe like i didn't get like the apple pie or a fry or something like burger or something

[00:40:21] right nobody eats the hamburgers it's always a cheeseburger correct i did not win a mini cooper

[00:40:26] because i would have claimed i would have been one of those yes yes um but maybe i didn't

[00:40:34] may not have to claim my free ice cream cone yeah like you can actually go to wikipedia

[00:40:42] and look up mcdonald's monopoly and it has its own page and what's so crazy is that it tells you

[00:40:54] the property so let's say the property is pennsylvania avenue okay

[00:41:00] okay it'll tell you that or no metatraining avenue here's a good one it'll tell you the code

[00:41:07] because it always had a number underneath it it'll tell you the code so in 2019 the code was

[00:41:13] 101 and the 2019 prize was a 2020 chevy equinox in 2018 the code was 901 and the 2018 prize

[00:41:27] was an xbox one and then it goes through and it tells you everything for every year of what the

[00:41:34] code was and what the prize was on this property if that was like your winning property

[00:41:44] it's crazy bring it back mcdonald's i'm here to roam in his colombo crime family friends

[00:41:51] i can't i can't get over that like freaking colombo crime family was the downfall of mcdonald's monopoly

[00:42:00] i don't even know who the colombo for crime family is but okay it was a crime family like what

[00:42:04] does that matter who cares they have a their own wikipedia page holy smokes like they're claiming

[00:42:12] our mini coopers and dodge vipers and the reason i can't get boardwalk and park place together

[00:42:21] right the um the the colombo crime family just so you know is an italian american mafia crime family

[00:42:32] and is the youngest of the five families like the the organized crime families that are most

[00:42:39] well known um for activities in new york city and um in the american mafia criminal organizations

[00:42:51] i mean okay i mean i don't want to talk about the mafia or anything but could you imagine like

[00:42:57] being convicted of stealing monopoly money and you go to jail and you're like why are you in here

[00:43:02] man i stole money from mcdonald's monopoly but they're like what like how do you tell your other mafia

[00:43:11] friends that that's what you got busted for that's what got you that's what's your downfall

[00:43:19] that's what put you in the slammer was the the tag off your large fry

[00:43:31] how embarrassing i'm lying i'm totally not telling look it was a total crime iced we broke into

[00:43:42] mcdonald's headquarters we stole that stuff i'm not telling my my crime buddies anything of the

[00:43:49] sort about mcdonald's i'll tell you that right now like there's i mean i'm scamming i'm like

[00:43:59] scheming over their like little wikipedia page here about the whole family and i mean there's

[00:44:05] stuff talking about al capone and you know that there was these murders and blah blah blah i mean

[00:44:13] there's like you know their origins are from sicily and they came into brooklyn and then i mean so

[00:44:20] they are they're legit mobsters right and then somebody had to go and ruin it looks like i mean

[00:44:30] one day at the airport just ruined took them all took them all down that one chance meeting

[00:44:34] at the airport took them all down there's like there's like these little family i mean they've got

[00:44:40] these mugshot pictures of all the guys back in the you know very beginning they call them family wars

[00:44:48] which you know they all had ties to the john goddy apparently yeah i mean i've heard of him um

[00:44:58] so yeah like that and it goes through all this stuff they all have um wow

[00:45:05] do you know these people are still like alive like real yeah so we won't talk about them they have a

[00:45:12] like they have a how how does the mafia and the mob have a wikipedia page in which they have

[00:45:22] their boss like the boss official and acting boss listed by year

[00:45:30] on here and says who it is like present time

[00:45:38] like right now the acting president the acting boss is little robert dona frio

[00:45:49] is there like an aura chart yes yes yes there's a there's a boss and then there's a street boss

[00:46:03] that's andy mush russo he became a boss in 2019 after he got out of prison

[00:46:10] and then there's the under boss

[00:46:12] and then there's a secret like we know who they are we're not actually listed as mob

[00:46:22] right that's what i'm saying like how do we know this john goddy was like it's supposed to be just

[00:46:26] like a business owner right right like a family man tony soprano was just a business owner

[00:46:34] worked in sanitation so don't have wikipedia pages why do you have a wikipedia page who updates it

[00:46:45] like does big raffy maybe there's a social media boss skinny teddy skinny tony or maybe

[00:46:53] sally bread some of these names are killing me fat denis he's in the bronx

[00:47:00] oh my gosh i could go in such a rabbit hole on this like they all have the best names

[00:47:26] sally jigs i just anyone named me here's one they move oh

[00:47:39] is there something we don't know hey there's no one named mickey d right that would be

[00:47:46] incredible why isn't everybody named mickey d they completely should have just named somebody

[00:47:52] mickey d somebody somebody lost that chance right there there's somebody oh this one's good

[00:48:00] this guy's name is hume macintosh and so they call him apples

[00:48:05] get it

[00:48:11] i love it all right so i mean that went really out of context there but anyway okay well um

[00:48:20] um moving on um i i just wanted to talk about those games for a little bit it turned in a way

[00:48:29] more than i expected i had no idea about your monopoly but i sh during the day and i also had

[00:48:36] no idea that the crime family was and was the reason that we can't play

[00:48:40] mcdonald's monopoly anymore whatever um so

[00:48:49] a couple weeks ago you and i discussed we were going to have an episode where we were going to

[00:48:56] break down the princess kate mysteries however it's been solved it has we don't we don't need

[00:49:06] to discuss it we're very sensitive to the fact of that she has announced a cancer diagnosis

[00:49:14] i will be the first to admit that i had some fun going down some rabbit holes of

[00:49:20] conspiracy theories i'm not gonna lie it was a good time bought me some entertainment for a

[00:49:27] little bit um i i believed a few of them could have easily gotten behind a couple of theories

[00:49:34] um i also still am not 100 convinced about where prince charles or king charles stands in all of

[00:49:43] this like how his health is doing and yada yada but each their own health matters are i'm completely

[00:49:53] fine with them being kept private because that is can be a private matter but um i would appreciate

[00:49:59] an update from them at any time just saying easter did come and go and she did choose to stay in

[00:50:06] hiding if you will not hiding but you know what i mean say hi to the other guy so when the time

[00:50:11] comes when we can address that a little bit more and kind of where she stands on things and how

[00:50:16] she is maybe then we will discuss it but for now real quickly i won't keep you much longer

[00:50:22] but i did want to touch on something that i did send you a text message about the other day

[00:50:28] that old megan old duchess has announced that she and harry are launching two new television

[00:50:38] series on netflix did you hear about this from you yeah i didn't know if you were

[00:50:54] in production on netflix she and her husband harry have signed with the company through they started

[00:51:02] with archwell back in the day the first series that we will see the duchess also known as megan

[00:51:08] markel i kind of think it's megan markel also known as the duchess but whatever um

[00:51:15] it's going to be a show that celebrates the joy of cooking gardening entertaining and friendship

[00:51:22] so is martha stewart i mean kind of i guess so whatever yeah um the second series is going to

[00:51:31] follow the world of professional polo

[00:51:37] okay

[00:51:38] shot harry on a horse i mean shot primarily at the us open polo championships in wellington florida

[00:51:47] the us that's where they were this weekend they what that's where they just were this weekend

[00:51:52] okay well they must have been shooting their shot then too okay so the national polo center the

[00:51:59] series will explore the world of the sport which is known primarily for his ecstatic and social scene

[00:52:08] is that what they do in dirty i mean in a pretty woman

[00:52:11] mm-hmm that's they go to polo right i got a polo match yeah fantastic uh it says this series will

[00:52:19] pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport capturing players and all it takes to

[00:52:24] compete at the highest level that says prince harry has been known to be a keen polo player and

[00:52:31] is often photographed playing internationally so um uh yeah those are coming to

[00:52:42] netflix they're both in the early stages of production um

[00:52:49] yeah i don't know we'll see i don't i don't know if i could listen to megan talk about

[00:52:55] lifestyle and her cooking and whatnot i mean beyond the roasted chicken

[00:53:05] we are gonna need that recipe we do if it's a it landed you prince harry come on now did she

[00:53:12] get cheese in a gardens or i know gardens however you say it recipe right i don't know

[00:53:18] oh i thought that's what she is but anyway um i mean she doesn't look like she eats a whole lot so

[00:53:25] and she's very when she talks i feel like she's very condescending when she's talking to people

[00:53:29] sometimes like just the tone of her voice sometimes and so i'm not sure that i could

[00:53:34] listen to her talk about lifestyle stuff that being said um she has created a new

[00:53:42] lifestyle brand have you heard about this i have american riviera are orchard

[00:53:52] um american riviera orchard and then it says montecito underneath it so montecito is where they

[00:54:02] live santa barbara has been known as the american version of the french riviera she says

[00:54:11] um so that's why she calls it american riviera orchard i did find out that the logo to her new

[00:54:19] lifestyle brand is written in her penmanship because she used to have a job as a part-time

[00:54:29] calligrapher before she was an actress yeah i knew that and so this is in her handwriting

[00:54:37] i may or may not believe it but whatever it's it's very well done it's very and then it's got a seal

[00:54:45] of some sort and it looks very royal to me but anyway that new brand has come out and as of

[00:59:06] of 7,850 or something yeah it's i don't know it just seems very bougie to me like super bougie

[00:59:16] so this question what are the prices like and who is really for you know that's that's interesting

[00:59:21] because nobody said a price on there nobody said a price we all know what that means if you ain't

[00:59:28] telling me it's 1999 or lower then i know you're too expensive if you're sitting to me you're just

[00:59:34] like you know what i'm gonna order some i don't care how much it costs it's not for me that's

[00:59:38] right tell me how much it costs your friends are posting it because you sent them a free basket

[00:59:44] of it the ones who can't afford it get the free stuff yeah yeah tracy robbins do you know who

[00:59:51] tracy robbins is she's a fashion designer but um do you know who her husband is is it tony robbins

[00:59:57] no it's brian robbins i don't know what brian robbins is this is this will take you back all right

[01:00:54] the show if i find something that is affordable i will buy it for the show let's let's place our

[01:01:01] bets right now how much do you think one jar of jam is now i want you to know i want you to know

[01:01:09] these jam jars are the um are they're not the little itty bitty like taster ones you know i mean

[01:01:17] they're the decent size but they're not the like smuckers size okay they're like the ones you get

[01:01:23] of like if you think about um if you go to like a uh like a deli that makes their own jams

[01:01:34] and they have these jars that you can purchase it they're usually a little bit nicer right but

[01:01:39] they're not the huge jars right that's the size we're talking about okay how much are we guessing

[01:01:46] one of these strawberry like they're straight up strawberry jam is i'm gonna say no more than 20

[01:01:56] okay it can't if it's more than 20

[01:02:02] i was actually gonna say about 25

[01:02:07] okay but we'll i thought it was 25 i was gonna set a limit of 20 for the show but i i might go up 25

[01:02:15] to purchase the jam so i did not buying hardy shares

[01:02:20] or the dog food because i don't have a dog i'm buying dog food from her i don't care how many dogs i had

[01:04:47] while we actually have stayed away from megan and harry for a little bit just because

[01:04:51] they just became overwhelming for a little while it was a lot there was a lot of room for a while

[01:04:57] and then they disappeared for a bit and that's fine you know i did love that whenever all the

[01:05:01] kate stuff was going on you know there were little little tiny bits from them every once in a while

[01:05:08] they were like oh well i mean we'd be willing to come back over occasionally and maybe help out

[01:05:14] i mean if you need us you know and i'm like mm-hmm y'all are sitting there waiting you know
