Episode 123: An eventful week for the SpoBo chaps

I Made you a Mixtape reaches backers AND Mike and Dan get to game together at the Dice Tower Retreat.  Thats more activity that this podcast has had since Mike broke the news that he had joined the Dice Tower and dan chased a rabbit around a car park! Also - Happy 40th Birthday to our favorite Bruce! (apart from Springsteen and Willis.  And Campbell. And Lee, Dickinson and Forsyth - Mike doesn't actually know who that last one is but he strangely still prefers him).

Mike and Dan talk about cars, the internet, and board games.  It truely is as scintilating an episode as it sounds.  

Mike just flew in from Japan and boy are his arms tired. As well as taking about his trip we discuss the production copy of I Made You a Mix Tape, dan's exciting adventures decorating his bathroom, and probably some other stuff - to be honest it's all a bit of a blur. Download it while it's hot!

Dan and Mike are joined by Jeff from Tabletop toolbox (and the Dice Tower) to talk about the usual claptrap. You can find Jeff's youtube channel here: https://youtu.be/2Irh8VHPDxU?si=Jp-l9MTl2pkkiIrz

Mike, Max, and Dan solve all the conundrems of the universe.  

All right stop, collaborate and listen Dan and Mike are back with the brand-new invention Something, grabs a hold of us tightly Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly Will it ever stop? Yo, we don't know Turn off the lights and we'll glow To the extreme we rock a mic like a vandal Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle Dance go rush to the speaker that booms We're killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom Deadly when we play a dope melody Anything less than the best is a felony Love it or leave it you better gang way You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play And if there was a problem, yo, we'll solve it Check out the hook while our DJ revolves it

Look, before anyone starts - I looked it up and the plural of octopus is octopuses - so don't come here with your knock-off latin and claim it's "octopi". Now that's out of the way, On this episode of Sporadically Board we are joined by Kelp-Boy himself, Carl Robinson (or Karl Robinson, as I like to call him).  He's talking to us about his experiences with the scammers and ne'er-do-wells who have been selling fake copies of his extremely successful game, Kelp. We also talk about other stuff - some of which is board game related and some of which isn't. One thing we do talk about (but not too much) is the kickstarter fro the game Mike and I designed: I Made You a Mixtape. There's only a few days left on the kickstarter campaign, so if you were thinking of backing it - then there's no better time to do so than now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cabbagedan/i-made-you-a-mixtape Thanks for listening!

Sometimes life gets so busy that you let time get away from you, and realize that it's been far too long since you've had a proper chat with a friend. Such has been the case with our guest who's been part the show since the very beginning, the lovely Matthew Jude. Quick hugs and hurried greetings at conventions aside, it's been a while since we've been able to spend a dedicated amount of time chatting with Matthew. Well, THAT ENDS NOW! On this very special episode of Blossom, Matthew chats with us about his love of travel on his own terms. In addition to his stellar work in board gaming, he also has a travel focused YouTube channel, Yesland, which you can visit here: https://youtube.com/@yeslandtravel?si=8Kina8ybhhlI6eKv In addition to our discussion of world travels, we discuss: Stand up desks Desk trampolines Bad backs UK and US music number ones Also, our game I Made You a Mixtape is NOW LIVE on Kickstarter! Please visit our Kickstarter page and check it out. Maybe even back it. Maybe even back multiple copies. Joking aside, we'd really love it if you could spread the word about it. This is the most powerful marketing we can afford with our budget of zero dollars, and it's so incredibly powerful. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cabbagedan/i-made-you-a-mixtape

Hello everyone! While uploading this, I realized that I never named the last one. I'm taking suggestions on what the official title of Episode 113 should be. Leave those suggestions in the comments below. Also, here's another one! It discusses the Dice Tower Retreat. I remember very little about this recording since I've been to Las Vegas and Europe for over two weeks, and I just got home. It was recorded before I left. I'm pretty tired, and at this point I don't trust myself not to type something incoherent.  I remember this much: We talked about the Dice Tower Retreat. Dan and Evan were there. Jerry was there. Gaby wasn't. We played games. I'm tired.
