Episode 219 - Vantaplaid

[Mike]

On the Gaming Table, Mike and Aidan talk about the joys of Pathfinder and Starfinder, plus Aidan delivers a review of Monster Hunter World. Then in the Science Corner, Mike talks language and the evolution of the word ‘literally’. But also, they cover sloths and marbled crayfish and albatross and the gonads of European eels. There’s a quick bit about Nebraska and Net Neutrality. And the Unnamed History Segment is all about Sriracha sauce. There’s over a half-dozen, all-new, listener-submitted questions on the Pod-O-Matic. All of this is rounded out with spicy food and newly invented colors in Listener Betrayal. All the mysteries of the world are being unlocked, and you have a chance to be the first to know the truth. Don’t miss it! Listen now!

Enjoy!

Argh, I can't listen now due to all the phone calling needed here, but just want to say that the word VANTAPLAID is just... it's the most. Vantaplaid. I have this decorating scheme going in my bedroom that involves soothing tones of beige in plaid prints - basically any time I see a reasonably priced bedding made of beige plaid, I seize it. And now I know what this is - the whole thing is Vantaplaid. Pantone and Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore and the whole universe of designers need to get off their gray kick and get into VANTAPLAID.

Okay, so just to nitpick... Aidan created two God powers. If you listen, he said "I dunno... fuckin space rift..."

The next time we playtest, I hope to see a card for Space Rift and a card for Fuckin.

Lets be honest... it's REALLY fitting with most of the pantheons.

[Kyle]

Can we talk about how Aidan's cohosting has excelled recently? He's coming into his own on this show. I like it.

[Phoebe]

Well, but... Is rape a subset of "fuckin" or are they mutually exclusive categories? Will determine a lot here, with Zeus and more.

[FlameBlade]

Wait. If vantaplaid is so intense that there is infinite strings of different colors going through a point, then I'm afraid that you no longer have plaid. You have solid color that is sum of all colors. Come at me.

[Phoebe]

Intense beige, ya?
