Brainstormbrewery #253: Stricken by Chicken

Jason and DJ take a break from the Discord server to join Corbin for this week’s cast.   Back to a standard show format with no guest, the reader emails get a bit aggressive and Corbin get a high-score on his speed-run review through the standard format.  A reader email alerts the cast to an amazing Flavor-Town resource.  Corbin’s pick of the week is so destructive that it exiles him from the cast, allowing Jason to brush up on his impersonation skills.

Brainstormbrewery #249: Non-Foil Mindmoil

The cast is down a host this week as Corbin is summoned to chew loudly near a national scrabble tournament.  DJ and Jason answer the call and recap current trends.   The long-awaited discussion on running a case in a card shop is covered.   The patreon is getting very close to frosted tips, yet somehow farther away from DJ being a real cast member.   Most shockingly, it appears as though Jason might actually be a loss for words without Corbin around to make fun of.
