WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.400
I became completely addicted to it

2
00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:04.166
it's a different game every single time

3
00:00:04.166 --> 00:00:05.733
I played all night

4
00:00:05.733 --> 00:00:07.700
an endless learning curve

5
00:00:07.700 --> 00:00:11.100
so many different people from so many different walks of life

6
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:13.300
I always say I was born with a pack of cards in my hand

7
00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:13.500
yeah

8
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:16.433
apparently Claudia Winkleman is a very big bridge player

9
00:00:16.733 --> 00:00:18.733
I can play a game if you're listening to this Cordia

10
00:00:18.733 --> 00:00:19.700
I love a game

11
00:00:19.833 --> 00:00:21.066
12 hours of bridge

12
00:00:21.066 --> 00:00:22.166
only 12

13
00:00:22.166 --> 00:00:23.733
you just made me a better loser because I've

14
00:00:23.733 --> 00:00:25.000
I've lost a lot of times

15
00:00:25.033 --> 00:00:26.000
but he said Jonathan

16
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.500
I'm kicking you off the chess team

17
00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:28.666
I'm sorry and I said why

18
00:00:28.666 --> 00:00:29.800
why are you kicking me off

19
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:30.433
he said well

20
00:00:30.433 --> 00:00:32.700
you spend too long in the bridge club

21
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:35.766
I think we should stop having a go at chess at this point

22
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:37.033
it's a good game

23
00:00:37.566 --> 00:00:39.700
and so building my confidence at the bridge table

24
00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:42.033
has definitely translated into building my confidence

25
00:00:42.033 --> 00:00:43.166
in the workplace

26
00:00:43.166 --> 00:00:46.100
or giving them that missing piece of the puzzle that

27
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:47.200
you know they needed to

28
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.600
to strengthen the connection with my dad

29
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.600
through playing bridge online has been incredible

30
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.766
very applicable to everything in life

31
00:00:54.766 --> 00:00:56.333
you know we all speak the same language

32
00:00:56.333 --> 00:00:56.733
in bridge

33
00:00:56.733 --> 00:00:59.366
first time we played we came second and I won two quid

34
00:00:59.366 --> 00:01:01.200
I think your personality can change

35
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.133
when you get to sit at a bridge table

36
00:01:03.133 --> 00:01:04.300
it does show you how much

37
00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:07.000
you know the human mind really can cave under pressure

38
00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:10.033
so I like to have multiple partners in a bridge sense

39
00:01:10.033 --> 00:01:10.500
yeah um

40
00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:11.066
because doctors I played with

41
00:01:12.033 --> 00:01:13.600
teachers I played with accountants

42
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:14.466
people in their 90s

43
00:01:14.466 --> 00:01:15.500
a bit of a billionaire

44
00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:16.900
you can do it all over the world

45
00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:18.666
and just someone I can have a laugh with at the table

46
00:01:18.666 --> 00:01:21.033
is probably the most important thing

47
00:01:21.033 --> 00:01:23.033
cause there's always the chance that you'll do the right thing

48
00:01:23.033 --> 00:01:24.433
at the right time yeah
