Podcasts about Scrabble

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: 4/4: 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. 1945

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!

Naveen emphasizes action over overthinking, innovative low-cost strategies like profit-sharing with returnees, and the power of storytelling through their own podcast to inspire professionals at every stage of their career.

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?

This week, we're strolling straight into the graveyard, uncovering the spookiest, weirdest, and most legendary tombstones from around the world.

FEEL GOOD STORY - SCRABBLE FOR LITERACY by 101.9POR

Apologies for the audio challenges...it was one of those nights!! In this episode, the Geoholics crew sits down with serial startup whisperer Sean Gorman, co-founder of Zephr.xyz—a company so cutting-edge it probably triangulated this podcast before it aired. Sean, who grew up everywhere from Germany to the Philippines (basically Carmen Sandiego in reverse), shares how a life of constant relocation and rowing (yes, actual rowing) shaped his journey into geospatial tech superstardom. The conversation navigates GPS spoofing, blockchain-based RTK, and turning your phone into a location-locked superhero—all while trying to make sense of GNSS like it's not just a Scrabble score. We also learn that Sean has exited three startups and still had time to accidentally go viral for a dissertation. Casual. From Sofi Tukker's “Purple Hat” vibes to the WingtraGround setup that even your intern could master, this episode blends tech, travel, and topography in a way only The Geoholics can. One thing's for sure: if location is everything, Sean's been everywhere. Moral of the story? Always bring a base station…and never underestimate a former rower with a PhD and a passion for satellites. 

Mike Mulligan and Ruthie Polinsky were joined by Marshall Harris and Mark Grote for transition.

The country's top 24 Scrabble players are competing this Easter weekend to find New Zealand's 41st Scrabble Masters Champion. Susie speaks to Chris Tallman - who is hoping to take the crown.

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?

We’re back in bed with The White Lotus – well, not literally – but creator Mike White is firing shots at viewers who found the finale boring. His message? If you don’t want to be edged, get out of his bed, bossy bottom. (Yes, really.) Also, we dive into Jennifer Coolidge’s wet fan encounter (someone legit weed on her foot), Joel’s hair is suspiciously red today, and if you’re playing Scrabble for the swear words… you’re gonna be disappointed. They’ve bleeped the whole board.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you speak a second or third language, you may remember the first time you dreamed in that new tongue. But does this milestone mean you're actually fluent? And a couple's dispute over the word regret: Say you wish you'd been able to meet Albert Einstein. Can you regret that the two of you never met, or is there a better word for a situation over which you have no control? Can the word regret include simply longing for something? Plus, a sixth-grader wonders about a weird word on her spelling bee study list. It's spelled X-Y-L-Y-L — and it's not just for Scrabble players. Plus, hot as flugens, to play Box and Cox, twack and twoc, a quiz for canine lovers, an eloquent appreciation of libraries, a widow's moving thank-you note, a punny gardening joke, a funny newspaper correction, a trick with a hole in it, and lots more. Cool beans!

When MaxFun Drive is around the corner and the Friends of DeSoto have questions, Ben and Adam sit down with producer Wynde to see what answers they can find. But when all of the accessories are the same color and video game lines get drawn in the sand, nostalgia and redundancy keep the pod sausage factory humming.

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.

Scrabble is a game that neither of us plays with regularity. And maybe that's good for this episode. We're all learning, right?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
