BDaB#41 – Classic Board Games

In this episode, we share a lively discussion about the "classic" board games we all grew up with. By "classic" we mean "you could buy these at a big box toy store in the 1990s" kind of board games. These are the games that you probably played a lot with your families before moving on to the geekier and more complicated nerd-games that are all the rage today. We close out with a talk about some of the various "gateway games" that you use to help bridge the gap, or even to replace the classics at the next fa

We close out with a talk about some of the various "gateway games" that you use to help bridge the gap, or even to replace the classics at the next family gatherings.

This is our first ever live stream episode as well! We decided to give it a stream on Twitch about 10 minutes before we actually started, so the stream was a bit rushed, but we all had a lot of fun with is, and we're planning to keep doing it going forward. Check out and follow our Twitch channel (linked below) to watch the next episodes, and you will be able to find a running archive of them as bonus patron-exclusive content on our Patreon page.

Drop us a line! You can follow us on Twitter and Instagram as "Breakfastpuppy" or email us as either NPC, Justjacob, or DrXanderGerrymander at Breakfastpuppies dot com. We have a Discord Channel and a Facebook Page, too. And now we're live streaming our recordings on Twitch! And let us know your thoughts by leaving a review on iTunes!

BDaB#40 – Staying Sane During Quarantine

After an unexpected quarantine-required break from our regular recording sessions, we are finally back with a new episode. Like many other creative ventures around the world, we had to take additional time out to adapt our recording setup to work via an online format.

I'm happy to finally have (most of) the issues all sorted out, so we can bring you more content! This issue is a bit more free-form than most, as we take some time to dive into the various things we've been doing to keep ourselves sane during this contagion crisis. The audio is not as top quality as we usually strive to bring you, but with a few more tweaks to the setup we're sure to be back in true form in the coming days. Thank you so much for your continued support, friendship, and humanity.

Just Jacob and Dr. Xander lead us on an informative look into the basics of what it takes to learn the business, including their own behind-the-bar origin stories.
