#180. Happy Thanksgiving! Don’t burn the turkey. Or do it and replace it with ham, bacon, or even bologna and enjoy your celebration that much more. But if turkey is your thing and you turn to a Thanksgiving-themed TV dinner, you have an inept employee from Swanson’s to thank! If you’re looking to pack a TV dinner for a school lunch and have no idea how that could be practical, just wait for “Anything But a Backpack Day” and bring your microwave with you. After stuffing yourself this week, be like Dillon and go all Clark Griswold on the house before THE game. And if you lose a bet, your friends might make you eat something like dry turkey. Also known as turkey. Why can’t we have venison for Thanksgiving? We can all follow Kory’s lead and harvest a deer to feed our extended families for a day. Then we can make a coat out of the pelt so when we get it dry cleaned, some kid in the back can score some pics for IG. Anyway, we also streamed some stuff: The Severance, The Crown, Spirited, The Bad Guys, The World Cup, WWE, and Andor. Seriously, happy turkey day everyone. We love you all. Until next time, be kind to each other.

#179. Stoke the fire and find a cold one; the fellas from Grab’em in the Brisket are here! We wish we could say we’ve known these guys before they were cool, but their quick wit and Texas charm precedes us. We love food and there’s no better brains to pick than this collective who run a mouthwatering podcast centered around America’s favorite culinary pastime: BBQ. They graciously shared their experience as we asked our meat smoking, steak, and sides questions. But we do take some time to sample the infamous Mt. Dew Fruit Quake which they cheekily mailed to us and is likely still smoldering in Dillon’s intestines. We also talk about other things like sports, Star Trek vs. Star Wars, and commercialism for the elderly. This was truly a blast for us. Thank you, Grab’em in the Brisket!

From the Middle - Talking (Rookie Mage) Games with Jordan McLaughlin

11 Recommendations

#181. Have you ever wanted to get into the mind of a game creator? Jordan McLaughlin is the founder of Rookie Mage Games, a company producing clever card games for friends and family of all ages. We take some tangents including horror films, pizza, and mashed potatoes, but the bulk of this episode is us picking the creative brain behind some masterpieces of story telling. The beauty, as we find, behind the story telling of his games is the freedom for the player to create a visual world inside their own imagination as they relate to others to try to solve mysteries and stash nuts. We also get into some of the logistics behind producing games including manufacturing, troubleshooting, and navigating kickstarter. We know we have more in common to chat with Jordan about than one episode can hold, but Jordan, thank you for this one and we look forward to meeting you again and seeing what the future of Rookie Mage Games has in store.
