Sporadically Board with Mike and Dan Mike and Dan

As you know, Dan and I like to keep things light and frothy in most circumstances (it's also the way Dan prefers his Venti, Quad, Half-Caff, Non-Fat, No Foam, Extra Hot, Peppermint, White Chocolate Mocha with Light Whip, 2 Pumps of Sugar-Free Vanilla, 1 Pump of Classic, a Dash of Cinnamon, a Splash of Soy Milk, Double Blended, with Chocolate Drizzle on Top and a Light Dusting of Matcha Powder order at Starbucks).
 
But on rare occasions, we need to get down to BUSINESS. You may not realize this, but Dan and I are very serious BUSINESS people. And in this topsy-turvy world, what can you depend on if not for BUSINESS? 
In this episode we discuss:
BUSINESS

We used to have guests on this podcast quite regularly. Then we didn't. Such are the vagaries of life. But sometimes. Sometimes you run across someone who's artistic vision is so pure and unsullied that you simply must invite them onto your podcast so that you can shove them back towards the mainstream, and crush any artistic joy they once had.
Our guest this episode is the wonderful Taylor Reiner, who is the creator of the "Taylor's Trick Taking Table" You Tube channel that focuses on trick taking games from around the world. Taylor is also a rising star in game design and development, with two games currently published, Short Zoot Suit and Of What's Left. Also soon to release is Seer's Catalog from Bezier Games.
On this episode we discuss:
Social Security Numbers Goulash Fast talkers Bagels Ice cream But mostly goulash As a bonus, Taylor and I include a top 3 for Dan's benefit. It's called, "Top 3 Games for People who are Fightened and Confused by Trick Taking Games".

Sound the trumpets! Ring the bells! Trim the hedges! Yes, it's time for another incomparable, inconceivable, incompetent epidode of Sporadically Board.
 
LISTEN - as Dan quizzes Mike about hip new phrases buzzing around the zeitgeist.
YEARN - as Dan discusses the pleasures of cheese on Christmas Cake.
QUIVER - as Mike elucidates on why he wants to be a guava.
GENUFLECT - to the mailbag altar, spilling its contents all over the Internet.
WEEP - at the omission of A Few Acres of Rubbish.

Dan and I are known for our encyclopedic knowledge of most things in life. Board games? Sure. Puddings? Absolutely. Mechanical Engineering? Obviously.
What many people don't realize is that we are also experts in AI technology and the societal and moral implications therein. Well, after this episode, there will be no question. Honorary Doctorates will assuredly be forthcoming.
In addition to that, in this episode we also cover:
"Horse or Human": Dan's new game show, soon airing on Netflix, with host Carrot Top. Minecraft: The new hotness. Mr. Beast: King of Tik-Tok Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: A very real boxing match. The Luddite Movement: Rage Against the Machine. AireCon and Dice Tower West Whew. That's most podcast's content for an entire year. Our generosity knows no limits.

Can it be so soon? It seems like only 2 months ago that a Sporadically Board episode came crashing through the Internet to wash over your earholes in a soothing wave. Well, it's true. We're back, and we come to you with a MAJOR EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT! 
You, our beloved listeners, are being given a worldwide exclusive announcement before it gets revealed to the teeming masses of the ignorant. You, just by virtue of having impeccable taste in podcasts, will be able to tease, infuriate, and frustrate your friends and loved ones by withholding this major announcement and holding it over their heads like an informational Sword of Damocles.
If that wasn't enough, we also discuss such hot button topics as:
The Suffragette Movement David Bowie The flu and bronchitis The Dice Tower Cruise Rat infested cottage vacations Sean, Ronan and Mike vs. Dan, Matthew and Richard in a steel cage death match ...and so much more! 
All of this, plus A Few Acres of Rubbish.
Here is the incredibly long link to the Cora Quest: Keep on Questing! contest discussed in the episode:

This episode was DEMANDED by the entire Board Game Snobs Community, and let me tell you, that guy was super annoying.
Gaby and Jerry join us to talk about...
...honestly I have no idea.
We played a couple of game shows, one by Dan and one by Jerry. 
We talked about Jerry living in an area known primarily for death.
We proposed ridiculous insurance claim scenarios for Gaby.
Dan talked about windshield screens, whatever those are.
I'm sure I talked about stuff.
Also, Jerry got progressively more affected by all the Kentucky Derbys.
All this, plus we almost talked about board games.
Co-Starring: A Few Acres of Rubbish.
With Special Guest Star: Ricardo Montalban
