« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es ». C'est une série spéciale de RFI à la découverte des jeux populaires à travers le monde, ces jeux qui, à travers les joueurs, parlent de la culture et de l'identité de chaque pays. En Côte d'Ivoire, le Scrabble est le jeu où les Ivoiriens excellent. En plus de dizaines de milliers d'amateurs du jeu de lettres, le pays compte 800 joueurs de très bon niveau affiliés à la Fédération nationale. Benoît Almeras a disputé une partie au dojo de l'université d'Abidjan. Là-bas, le Scrabble, c'est presque un sport de combat. De notre correspondant à Abidjan, Le soleil se couche sur Abidjan, c'est le début de l'entraînement. Sous le badamier, une demi-douzaine de tables. Deux joueurs, un plateau, le Gborô, le combat peut commencer. Objectif : composer les mots qui rapportent le plus de points avec sept lettres tirées au hasard. En face, celui que l'on surnomme Ipman, comme le maître de Bruce Lee. Mathieu Zingbè, 37 ans, dix fois champion d'Afrique. Une machine. En quinze minutes chrono, le numéro un Ivoirien gagne avec près de 300 points d'avance. Pour lui, le Scrabble c'est une passion qui dure depuis près de 30 ans : « C'est en classe de CM1 quand j'ai fait la trouvaille du Scrabble, ça m'a tout de suite épaté, je me suis vite confectionné un tableau de Scrabble, j'ai commencé à m'entraîner et je suis immédiatement tombé amoureux de ce jeu. »   Professionnel depuis 2006, Mathieu Zingbè est actuellement le capitaine des éléphants scrabbleurs, l'équipe nationale fait la fierté du président de la Fédération Michel Tétialy : « On est trois fois champion du monde, nous sommes actuellement champion d'Afrique en titre. Avec ça, l'engouement grandit et chaque année, on a plus de personnes qui intègrent les salles (...) partout dans nos bureaux, vous voyez, dans les téléphones et autres, les gens ont des "applicatifs" qui leur permettent de passer le temps en jouant au Scrabble. » Intégration du nouchi dans l'Officiel du Scrable Autre motif de jubilation pour Michel Tétialy : l'intégration des mots du nouchi, l'argot des rues d'Abidjan, dans l'Officiel du Scrabble, à l'image de « s'enjailler », une reconnaissance pour l'écrivain Josué Guébo : « On a créé des termes qui étaient à la fois périphériques et marginaux, mais qui sont en train de passer à la postérité, c'est intéressant parce que ça montre que la créativité ici s'universalise, c'est une chose à souligner. » Pour ce poète et philosophe, ancien joueur de Scrabble, les performances des Ivoiriens s'expliqueraient par un « amour pragmatique » du français : « Dans un pays où il y a plusieurs langues, la langue française est un bon moyen de communication. Donc, je pense qu'il y a un amour utilitaire pour ainsi dire. Mais il y a aussi l'amour de l'art parce que les Ivoiriens performent en Scrabble, mais aussi en Slam et aujourd'hui ça paye. » Un outil pédagogique Mais dans un pays où environ une personne sur deux est analphabète selon le gouvernement, le Scrabble reste trop élitiste et réservé aux citadins, pour Josué Guébo. Autre problème : le manque de joueuses, quand deux tiers des illettrés ivoiriens sont des femmes. Pour corriger cela, la Fédération fait la promotion du Scrabble comme outil d'apprentissage de la langue française – Adrien Edoukou, joueur et professeur de lettres : « Les enfants n'arrivent pas véritablement à saisir le sens de certains cours et le Scrabble intervient pour leur apporter une formation d'appoint. Apprendre à jouer au Scrabble pour des enfants ça leur apporte beaucoup, c'est un outil pédagogique complet. » La Fédération ivoirienne propose le jeu comme activité extrascolaire dans une vingtaine de collèges et de lycées cette année et peut-être détecter les futures stars du Scrabble francophone.

Send us a textRemember the days when cafeteria food combinations made perfect sense? When corn dogs paired naturally with chocolate milk, and dipping brownies in beef stew seemed like culinary genius? The Almost Brothers take you on a nostalgic journey through childhood food oddities, pregnancy cravings, and the strange combinations that somehow work.Rich updates us on his growing family, proudly sharing stories about his seven-month-old grandson Hudson who now sports four whole teeth. There's excitement in the air about an upcoming gender reveal for his second grandchild—moments that highlight how quickly time passes. Meanwhile, Ty recounts his pregnant wife's unexpected midnight cravings: corn dogs with Chick-fil-A sauce paired with pears. It's these intimate glimpses into their personal lives that make you feel like you're sitting around a kitchen table with old friends.The conversation flows naturally through movie preferences, revealing strong opinions about Adam Sandler's evolution as a comedian. But it's when they dive into board games that their competitive natures truly emerge. From Monopoly strategies to the frustration of playing with people who don't take games seriously enough, their passionate discussion about everything from Scrabble to murder mystery dinners reveals much about their personalities. Card games get equal attention, with debates about traditional Uno versus modern variations and reminiscences about college-era Phase 10 matches.As the episode winds down, the tone shifts to something more reflective. Mike shares how a busy week away from home made him realize how precious family time truly is. Rich recalls the emotional experience of dropping his son off at college, offering a gentle reminder that parenting seasons change faster than we ever expect. It's a heartfelt conclusion that will resonate with anyone who's ever looked at their growing children and wondered where the time went.

Kevin and Zach are joined by star hygienist Maryann McFarland. They kick things off with a competitive discussion about their favorite games, from Maryann's professional-level Scrabble skills to Zach's past as a ranked online poker player. The conversation then shifts to the clinical topic of the day: how Maryann champions the Invisalign workflow in the practice. She provides a masterclass on her process, detailing every step from initial patient contact and leveraging in-office marketing to using photos on a big-screen monitor, discussing financials, and performing the digital scan—all while emphasizing the crucial role of teamwork and efficiency. Key Takeaways: Empower the Hygiene Team: A trained and motivated hygienist can be the primary driver for Invisalign cases, from the initial conversation to the digital scan, freeing up the doctor's time and boosting production. A System Creates Efficiency: The practice utilizes a highly systematic, team-based approach. While one person engages the patient, others prepare financial plans or manages imaging in the background, eliminating bottlenecks and making the process fit within a standard appointment. Visuals Drive Acceptance: Using large, high-quality photos on a monitor is a powerful tool. Showing patients their own crowding, wear, or abfractions and then asking, "Are you happy with your smile?" is more effective than just describing the problem. Make it Easy to Say Yes: Streamline the financial conversation by having payment options prepared in advance. Presenting clear solutions immediately after the patient expresses interest removes a major barrier to starting treatment. Create Urgency (and Follow Up): Offering to scan an interested patient on the spot capitalizes on their motivation. For those who need to think about it, sending them home with a signed financial plan and following up creates a clear path to starting their case.

Hair flips, high kicks, and Y2K fashion sharper than a samurai sword—this week, the ladies are suiting up in wigs and wire-fu to revisit the over-the-top action comedy Charlie's Angels (2000)! Jackie and Danielle are joined by Heather for a no-holds-barred deep dive into the gloriously chaotic world of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu as butt-kicking private investigators. This episode is a high-energy ride full of nostalgia and razor-sharp commentary.The hosts go beyond the glossy slow-mo to unpack problematic tropes, casting what-ifs (Justice for Nia Long!), and the absolute fever dream that is Crispin Glover's villain. They also explore why this movie is more about vibes than plot (honestly, who did kidnap Eric Knox again?), and question the logic of Drew Barrymore's post-sex Scrabble ambush. With laugh-out-loud sister banter, shady film critic takedowns, and a side of Soul Train confusion, this episode is the chaotic good energy your podcast queue has been missing.·Season 5 Episode 14·—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—Heather's Previous EpisodesBilly Madisonhttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/billy-madison The Sweetest Thing https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/the-sweetest-thing Back School with Heatherhttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/back-school-with-heather Getting Buddy Buddy with Heather https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/getting-buddy-buddy-with-heather Evolutionhttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/evolutionFrom Ghostbusters to Evolution: Ivan Reitman Movie Madnesshttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/from-ghostbusters-to-evolution-ivan-reitman-movie-madness

CLOSING DAYS OF THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER FOR $10 MILLION FIRST PRIZE IN LAS VEGAS: 1/4: Seven Games: A Human History, by Oliver Roeder. https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Games-History-Oliver-Roeder/dp/1324003774 Checkers, backgammon, chess, and go. Poker, Scrabble, and bridge. These seven games, ancient and modern, fascinate millions of people worldwide. In Seven Games, Oliver Roeder charts their origins and historical importance, the delightful arcana of their rules, and the ways their design makes them pleasing. Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as the evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last gochampion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism.” and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white gostones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language, itself. 1904 KIEL RANCH

Send us a textSix passionate fans of television gather around the virtual table for a hilarious, nostalgic journey through decades of TV history. Host Fiddy guides this roundtable exploration of what makes certain shows endure in our collective memory while others fade away despite critical acclaim.The conversation opens with a playful debate about Monopoly versus Scrabble before diving into the shows that defined different eras. Miste  reminisces about 80s classics like "A Different World," while others champion everything from "Andy Griffith" to "The Sopranos." What emerges is a fascinating look at how television reflects our values and cultural moments across generations.When the topic turns to "Beverly Hills 90210," the group unpacks how this teen drama revolutionized television by tackling previously taboo subjects like HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy, and substance abuse. As Dave astutely observes, this trailblazing approach may have inadvertently launched television's ongoing quest for increasingly shocking content—for better or worse.Personal connections make this discussion especially rich. Rusty reveals his great-uncle was one of the original writers for "Jeopardy!" while Chris explains why "Jersey Shore" felt like a harmful caricature of Italian-Americans. These personal insights transform typical TV talk into something more meaningful about representation and cultural impact.The animated smackdown between "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons" divides the room, while universally panned shows like "Jersey Shore" unite them in creative condemnation (with descriptions ranging from "fatalian" to "diabolical"). Throughout it all runs a current of genuine appreciation for how television brings us together, shapes our perspectives, and provides the shared cultural references that connect us.Join this lively conversation about the shows we've loved, hated, and can't stop talking about—and maybe rethink your own television favorites along the Subscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREETactical BrotherhoodThe Tactical Brotherhood is a movement to support America.Dubby EnergyFROM GAMERS TO GYM JUNKIES TO ENTREPRENEURS, OUR PRODUCT IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE BETTER.Sweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!

Sara Billiet joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about what's happening in July at the Kewanee Public Library. The Kewanee Public Library is wrapping up its successful summer reading program for children, which officially concludes on July 7th. Prizes should be claimed by then, but arrangements can be made if notified in advance. Story times continue through July, with both in-person and Facebook options available. Adults can look forward to a packed schedule, including a “Jaws” movie night for Shark Week, a native pollinator gardening session, an investing workshop, and a Scrabble tile coaster craft. The library is also seeking a young adult clerk for a 16-hour position focused on programming for teens. Details are on the library's website and Facebook page.

Send us a textThe Noras dive into the nostalgic world of board games, from classics like Monopoly and Scrabble to quirky favorites with names like "Sneaky Snacky Squirrels." Did you know Monopoly was initially rejected by Parker Brothers for being "too complicated"? Or that games can be categorized into four fundamental types: race games, space games, chase games, and displacement games? These frameworks help explain why we gravitate toward certain games and avoid others.Along the way, we explore summer's hottest trends (sardine-themed decor, anyone?), discuss bizarre banned baby names from around the world (no, you can't name your child Santa Claus), and introduce the surprisingly effective "poop rule" for decluttering your home. Plus, we follow the strange case of an escaped pet zebra in Tennessee, which leads to an important question: why would anyone want an unpredictable exotic animal that tends to attack people?Whether you're a dedicated game night enthusiast or someone who runs at the sight of a Monopoly board, join us for this playful exploration of how games shape our relationships and reflect our personalities. Share your favorite childhood game with us—was it an outdoor neighborhood classic or a beloved board game that still brings your family together?Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Send us a textMeet Omdia Memwequa, also known as "The Candy Man" – a name earned from his addictively delicious pecan candy that customers jokingly call "legal crack." But behind this sweet success story lies an extraordinary journey of transformation that will leave you inspired.Omdia's story begins with his name itself – a creative combination formed from a monk's chant and a West African word, while his last name emerged during a Scrabble game. This creativity extends throughout every aspect of his life, from his entrepreneurial ventures to his approach to overcoming life's challenges. With remarkable candor, he shares how uncontrolled anger led to his incarceration, and how he used that experience to completely reinvent himself.What sets Omdia apart is his refusal to be defined by his past mistakes. During his time in prison, rather than adopting what he calls an "inmate mentality," he worked in the law library helping others who had been over-sentenced and fought to keep educational programs available. Since his release in 1997, he's never returned to prison and has dedicated himself to mentoring young people at risk of making similar mistakes. His current project involves teaching entrepreneurial skills to a young man recently released from a group home, showing him legitimate ways to earn money and build a future.Beyond his candy business, Omdia has expanded into music, creating songs like "Legal Crack" and his latest release, "Yellow Dress" – a heartwarming true story about a song commissioned as a birthday gift that helped spark a relationship. His creativity, resilience, and commitment to giving back make this an episode you won't want to miss.Ready to experience some "legal crack" yourself or hear Omdia's music? Find him on social media as "Mr Memwequa the Candy Man" or email mrmemwequa@gmail.com to connect with this inspiring entrepreneur who proves that our past mistakes don't have to determine our future.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

Built around a game of Braille Scrabble, Emma Tracey presents a celebration of Braille, 200 years after it was invented. Emma, who's been blind since birth, talks to others who love the six tiny dots: Geerat Vermeij, one of the world's leading experts in molluscs; Yetnebersh Nigussie, an Ethiopian lawyer, who describes her blindness as ‘a lottery I won at the age of 5'; Sheri Wells-Jensen, a linguistics professor who's been a linguistic consultant on Star Trek and is on the US advisory board for messaging extra-terrestrial intelligence; Japanese concert pianist, Nobuyuki Tsujii, who learnt to play using Braille music; and Emma's friend and Scrabble partner, Ellie. And there's a chance encounter with the most famous Braille user of them all, Stevie Wonder. But can Braille survive with the ever-increasing supply of tech that allows blind people to listen to, rather than feel, information? Presenter: Emma Tracey Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound design: Steve Brooke Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

For anyone who's ever wondered what's really in that innocent board game box at the toy store… here's your cautionary tale. Picture this: a crew of unsuspecting teens gathering around a Ouija board, hoping to summon a playful ghost for the evening. Instead, they host a private bottle-smashing, terror-filled rave—featuring disembodied lights, invisible spider-web touches, and a basement that suddenly feels like it's been imported straight from the underworld. The only ones having fun that night? Possibly the spirits. Next time, take our advice: if the box says “ouija,” maybe stick with Scrabble.
