It's a bye week here at RTG Industries, but I raided our Patreon archives to make sure you still had something to listen to while you're stuck in traffic. Back in January, Rolling Stone published a list of the '50 Best Games of All Time', and I reacted to it on Expansion Pass. Some were spot on, some were a little off, and some, well...You can find the article here if you're interested - https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-gaming-lists/best-video-games-of-all-time-1235215978/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we put NBC News' list of the “Best Board Games for Kids” to the test. Do we agree with the experts, or do we have better picks? We break down what makes each game shine for families, where we think the list got it right, and which titles deserve an upgrade. From Trouble to Ticket to Ride, we explore how these games build strategy, cooperation, and laughter around the table.

Baseball legend Dusty Baker sits down with Jimmy for a candid, story-packed conversation spanning his life in the game—All-Star outfielder, World Series champion, and three-time Manager of the Year. Dusty relives the Barry Bonds era from a front-row seat, breaks down how elite hitters actually “know” what's coming, and shares the mindset he learned from Hank Aaron about trusting your eyes, handling failure, and staying ready. He also opens up about representation in the dugout, what it's really like to get rehired in MLB, and how age and experience still matter in a sport obsessed with numbers.From the heartbreaks—'02 World Series, the Bartman game, Halladay's no-no—to redemption with the 2022 Astros, Dusty explains managing under pressure, restoring dignity after the scandal, and navigating the COVID season and hostile road crowds. He reflects on winter ball's intensity, the economics behind the decline of Black American players, and a deeply personal moment when his young son stepped onto the World Series stage while Dusty was battling cancer. Plus: why he said yes to managing Nicaragua in the World Baseball Classic.00:00 Introduction01:32 Barry Bonds up close; lessons from Hank Aaron09:31 Rehiring, respect, and minority managers11:54 How the Astros job happened & the 2022 run15:34 COVID season, boos, and rebuilding trust22:04 Prior/Wood, pitch counts, and the injury era27:52 '89 quake Series & toughest losses (Bartman, '02)32:37 Fatherhood, cancer, and a World Series moment41:06 Outro

We go thru the BEST games in the week 5 slate of the NFL.

A massive year for games, a bleak year for at least one giant man. One of our oldest and most popular podcast formats is back, more than two years after our 2016 episode!This week's music is from the Yakuza 0 soundtrack by Kensuke Inage and Yoshihiro Arai. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Matt Jones and Drew Franklin open with Matt's continued adventure in South Africa and asking everyone he meets to subscribe to the podcast! Matt has concern for the Ravens at 1-2 and headed to Kansas City. The Giants will start Jaxson Dart and Drew wonders if the move is out of complete desperation. Injuries are starting to pile up and Matt wonders which one is the most impactful. Looking at QB rankings, is Justin Herbert at #4 and Jalen Hurts at #5 a surprise? The Titans are changing some duties and Drew thinks even more should be done. How much of the 'Manningcast' do Matt and Drew watch? The Vikings are playing in London on Sunday and Matt is amazed by the logistics of making the game happen. Looking at the Pro Football Hall of Fame nominees, Matt reveals who he thinks are the 'slam dunks'. Rams WR Puka Nacua leading the NFL in receiving yards is the most amazing stat of the early season. Micah Parsons returns to Dallas as the Packers visit the Cowboys. Does Dak Prescott get sacked by Parsons? Would 464 pound player Desmond Watson make a difference against the Eagles' Tush Push? Matt thinks Travis Kelce has to stop his feuding with Andy Reid. Drew wouldn't be surprised to see the Colts move to 4-0, but it'll be tough against the Rams. Matt and Drew are divided over what happens between Eagles/Bucs. We wrap up with Survivor and Touchdown League picks for NFL Week 4!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Taking a suggestion from you guys: we decided to talk about games we hope don't get forgotten by end of year. And maybe a couple we know definitely will. So, let's talk early GOTY contenders, and a couple disappointments.

GM Johan Hellsten returns to Perpetual Chess for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked yet essential chess skills: defense. Johan is the 2006 Swedish National Champion and a renowned author and coach, best known for his Mastering Chess series. In this interview, he shares insights from his latest book and Chessable course, Mastering Chess Defense (also available in print), reflecting on why defending is often harder than attacking, which players are best to study to improve your defensive play, and key concepts like “the lifeline.” Johan is a true professional and always a pleasure to talk chess with.

Scott and Josh finish off their 2025 ranking with Absolute And Total Agreement. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

GM Alexandr Fier is a 5 time champion of Brazil and 9 time chess Olympian. He also recently qualified for the FIDE World Cup for the 8th time by finishing tied for first at the American Continental tournament. But aside from all of his impressive accomplishments, what interests me most about GM Fier is how frequently he competes.  Last year alone, he played nearly 200 classical games,, and he has now travelled to over 50 countries. In our conversation we discussed:  How he maintains his energy and positive outlook through a busy tournament calendar Why he thinks playing quickly gives him a competitive advantage. (Hence the nickname “No Fear”)  How he reacted to getting some harsh feedback from legendary trainer IM Mark Dvoretsky at age 18.  We also talked about GM Fier's recent qualification for the 2025 FIDE World Cup, his plans for the rest of 2025, and of course, chess books. It was a pleasure to chat with one of Brazil's top players, and I look forward to following his nonstop tournament adventures in the years to come. Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!
