Episode 146 - March Potpourri

We start today's episode with talking about... Planet Comicon.

What does a sci-fi convention have to do with sports?

Simple.  Tim had a batsu game: to go to Planet Comicon and collect a signature of his choice.

He collected two, as pictured below:


The first autograph was from Cary Elwes, best known his role as Westley in the film "The Princess Bride."

The second autograph was from Erin Gray, best known for her roles in Silver Spoons and Buck Rogers.

Mike was at Planet Comicon as well.  In his case, he met up with some old friends who were there promoting their endeavors, which include the following:
The film Mike mentioned, Cyber Vengeance, is still available on YouTube at this link.

Mike also got in a game of a D&D-themed Euro-style board game called Lords of Waterdeep.  Below is said game during set up:


As expected, Mike used his free pass for the Chelsea-Tottenham League Cup Final.  Tim, who also picked Tottenham in that game, was expected to receive punishment.  However, going the extra mile and getting a second autograph paid off the batsu game.  Therefore, Planet Comicon autographs now join the Kansas City Royals as banned themes for batsu games.

They continue with sports discussion covering a lot of different topics since the last time the guys recorded, including:
  • FA Cup updates
  • NFL trades and free agency
It's such a big show, it's almost "inconceivable!"

("You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.")
