Let's Play FUN FACTS

**Let's Play FUN FACTS** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*Legally, if Sullivan dies are we liable?*"
―Jon
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "did you know that cornflakes were invented to stop people masturbating?"
* Who is going to be *a font of knowledge* and who's going to be *cornering you at a party to tell you all the things they've learnt on this podcast they listen to*?
* Our hellos are all -y today.
* All hail the Tower of Destiny! Tilly's made her own little tune, very nice.
* Holly's narrowed down the purpose of the game.
* ljaquos in the YT comments does point out that this is a great game to play with Laurie, he's a bit of a gimme. He's going to be very low or very high for pretty much every answer. Adam: "Laurie's got a brand!"
* Sullivan thinks he's deceptively strong. And deceptively large-lunged.
* Sullivan: "I can beat all of you fucking chumps, except for Laurie ... I'm not going to candy-coat this".
* None of our cast get enough sleep (except for Jon) but they don't *all* get really grumpy about it.
* What a lovely mental picture of sleepytime Jon - and Teri's gone. (Hi Teri!) Laurie: "You could definitely beat him in a fucking arm wrestle!"
* Ah the sore loser question. This one was teased slightly during the NRB Unboxed podcast in May 2023 (Join the Patreon, it's great www.patreon.com/norollsbarred). Adam's questioning some people's self-assessments. Well - Holly's. Adam's questioning *Holly's* self-assessment. We have the first real point of argument in this game.
* Jon: "I'm not a fucking Zen monk!" Holly: "I am!"
* Izzy to Holly: "I feel bad ... but I blame you".
* Tilly knows she's a bad loser, but she's a little put-out that nobody jumps to correct her on that point.
* We're planning a companion show, possibly podcast, for *Grubby Little Mitts* - *Grumpy Little Mitts*. Laurie and Tilly are shouting at clouds.
* Holly likes seeing people, but she doesn't like seeing people.
* Hey, we get a Too Sweet. Love that. Love love love that. Although, it's Two Swans, of course.
* Everybody has a slightly different combination of ego and anxiety for the birthday question.
* Holly and Jon are both assuming she's written something insane. We all remember *Let's Play WITS & WAGERS II* - but Holly's tallest man answer wasn't her only standout in that one.
* Sullivan can hold his breath for one Blackwall Tunnel. Let's assume that NRB and Trident Digital Media do not endorse holding one's breath whilst driving, Rosie.
* Izzy doesn't think she could hold her breath for long enough to rinse the shampoo off her head in a shower. She does think that the threat of death may help her endurance here.
* We're testing everyone's breath-holding assessments. Jon thinks this may be the future of the channel. The musical accompaniment is superb. None of them look very comfortable, but Laurie beats the clock through sheer bloody-mindedness.
* Sullivan may have overshot. Jon: "Do you dive for pearls, Sullivan?" but Sullivan is outraged "What baby lungs have you all got?"
* Jon: "Legally, if Sullivan dies are we liable?" Adam: "Ur.. let's say 'no'. We've got it on camera".
* Holly and Sullivan bicker about who makes the most outlandish guesses. But luckily Holly isn't a sore loser so she doesn't mind either way.
* Actors and the self-employed wake up in time for *Bargain Hunt*.
* We're back in sleepytime Jon territory and Teri's gone again. Jon: "One can have good skincare and also get up early". He's furious about their assumptions of his schedule.
* Everyone is seemingly hiding shabby shoes.
* Adam has a stunningly late first memory, surely? Perhaps he was damaged by the silica gel. He's all lovely and dry on the inside though. Holly's the opposite extreme, with her memory anyway. We shall not speculate on the aridness of her digestive system.
* We're doing a spot of bonding over trauma - there are poisoning siblings, dread diseases and flying toddlers. Although the image of 4 year old Sullivan heading home on a tricycle is both precious and unsurprising. Jon's is a lovely memory of cats in hats.
* Sullivan definitely did not kill the plant that his delightful friend Teri chose for him and gave him with love.
* The table is split over food sharing. Adam, Laurie and Sullivan don't share food. Like, not at all, not never. Adam seems to have put quite a bit of thought into the subject. Izzy isn't so rabid about it. Holly, Tilly and Jon are at the entire opposite end of the scale.
* Laurie: "I really like people - I just don't want to talk to them all the time". He's badly underestimated the misanthropy of some people who make their living being personable, it seems. Perhaps it's an introvert/extrovert split. Adam and Tilly like individual people but they're not keen on the concept overall.
* Sullivan HATES the discussion of toilet habits.
* Izzy: "I don't want to be alone with my own thoughts for even a second".
* These people are astonishingly reluctant to take a holiday. Someone needs to teach them to relax. Although maybe they do that through video games.
* Sullivan and Laurie are outraged at everyone's balance incompetence.
* As we know, John and Terry love us to spell their names correctly.
* Jon to Holly: "Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the fact that your one was wrong".
* Laurie: "Holly, why don't you hold your breath for as long as possible?"
