Sat Jul 30 - Scrabble vs Monopoly & Drinking Age 5.05

This week the games begin as funny lady Rebecca Kohler spells it out for comedian Simon Rakoff in her attempt to prove that Scrabble is a scream but Monopoly will just leave you "bored." Next up, two titanic tipplers - Mike Wilmot and Glenn Wool do battle on the topic of the drinking age and whether society would be better off giving teens the right to legally imbibe at a younger age.
