    After a long absence, the bows return to tell you all about their Protospiel escapades, in an episode rife with references to people who are completely unaware of how many nicknames they have. Revel as we tell you about prototypes that we got to play with, but you never will. Plus an all-new Mildly Alarming Theater. Also, this whole episode was broadcast from inside a huge clown. It doesn't come up, but you probably want to keep it in mind.

    Well, the boys are at it again as they talk about what happens when you click Like buttons (goblins steal your shoes) and also what happens when you combine Settlers of Catan with Time n' Space (goblins return your shoes).

Peeing my pants

This is consistently the funniest podcast I’ve ever listened to. I honesty don’t care about board games and I still listen to every episode because it’s hilarious.

Two guys, drinks, board games: what more do you need?

I'm not sure who let these two hooligans monkey around with recording equipment, but they're doing a great job so monkey on!

A wide variety of topics, awesome spoof commercials, and jokes that crack me up.
