Story Transcript:Hu: A levegő hűvös volt és titokzatos, ahogy Bence, Eszter és Gergő leereszkedtek a Budapest Vár alatti titkos bunkerba.En: The air was cool and mysterious as Bence, Eszter, and Gergő descended into the secret bunker beneath Budapest's Castle.Hu: Az őszi avar puhán ropogott a lábuk alatt, ahogy leereszkedtek a keskeny lépcsőkön.En: The autumn leaves softly crunched under their feet as they made their way down the narrow steps.Hu: Gergő az elemlámpa fényét ide-oda pásztázta, hogy megvilágítsa a falakat díszítő, régi málló írásokat.En: Gergő swept the flashlight beam around to illuminate the old, crumbling writings on the walls.Hu: „Ez lesz a legjobb Halloween!En: "This is going to be the best Halloween ever!"Hu: ” mondta Bence izgatottan, miközben megpróbált nem mutatni félelmet.En: Bence said excitedly, trying not to show his fear.Hu: Eszter csak mosolygott, mert tudta, hogy Bence próbálja bizonyítani bátorságát előtte.En: Eszter just smiled, knowing that Bence was trying to prove his bravery to her.Hu: Gergő, bár szkeptikusan, beleegyezett, hogy őket vezesse.En: Gergő, though skeptical, had agreed to lead them.Hu: A föld alatti labirintus tele volt sötét zugokkal és szokatlan tárgyakkal.En: The underground labyrinth was full of dark corners and unusual objects.Hu: Nyirkos volt a levegő, és a járatok, mintha suttogtak volna a történelmi titkokról.En: The air was damp, and the passageways seemed to whisper about historical secrets.Hu: Hirtelen neszezést hallottak az egyik folyosóról.En: Suddenly, they heard a rustling from one of the corridors.Hu: „Mi lehet ez?En: "What could that be?"Hu: ” kérdezte Eszter kíváncsian.En: Eszter asked curiously.Hu: Bence közelebb lépett, és a fény körbetáncolta az alagút falait.En: Bence stepped closer, and the light danced around the walls of the tunnel.Hu: „Menjünk, nézzük meg!En: "Let's go check it out!"Hu: ”Ahogy közeledtek a hangok felé, hirtelen kiléptek egy tágasabb terembe, ahol meglepetésükre egy csapat jelmezes ember jelent meg.En: As they approached the sounds, they suddenly stepped into a larger chamber, where to their surprise, they found a group of people in costumes.Hu: Mindannyian középkori ruhákban voltak.En: They were all dressed in medieval clothing.Hu: „Mit csináltok itt?En: "What are you doing here?"Hu: ” kérdezte egy zömök katona jelmezbe bújt hölgy.En: asked a lady dressed as a stocky soldier.Hu: „Ööö… csatlakoztunk a játékhoz?En: "Uh... we've joined the game?"Hu: ” mondta Bence zavartan, majd mosolyogva hozzátette, „Középkori kaland?En: Bence said awkwardly, then with a smile, added, "A medieval adventure?"Hu: ”A jelmezes emberek nevetésbe törtek ki.En: The costumed people erupted into laughter.Hu: „Nos, remek időben érkeztetek!En: "Well, you've arrived at a perfect time!"Hu: ” mondta az egyikük, „A próbák éppen kezdődnek.En: one of them said, "The trials are just beginning.Hu: Vegyétek fel a jelmezeket!En: Put on the costumes!"Hu: ”Bence, bár elsőre vonakodva, úgy döntött, hogy játssza a szerepét, nem akarta, hogy Eszter rajta nevessen.En: Bence, though initially reluctant, decided to play along, not wanting Eszter to laugh at him.Hu: Gergő próbálta figyelmeztetni, de Bence már egy habszivacs karddal hadonászva lépett ki a díszes lovagi ruhában.En: Gergő tried to warn him, but Bence had already stepped out, swinging a foam sword in an ornate knight's outfit.Hu: A következő jelenetben Bencének egy hatalmas habkarton sárkánnyal kellett megküzdenie.En: In the next scene, Bence had to battle a giant cardboard dragon.Hu: A sárkány kerekeken gurult, és legalább annyira komikus volt, amennyire félelmetes.En: The dragon rolled on wheels and was as comical as it was menacing.Hu: Bence habzó lelkesedéssel vetette magát a „csatába.En: Bence dove into the "battle" with foaming enthusiasm.Hu: ”„Vigyázz, Bence!En: "Watch out, Bence!"Hu: ” kiáltotta Gergő, miközben Eszter könnyeit törölgette a nevetéstől.En: Gergő shouted, while Eszter wiped away tears of laughter.Hu: A harc hevében Bence túl messzire lendített, és a sárkány átlendült egy asztalon, amin finom sütemények sorakoztak.En: In the heat of the fight, Bence swung too far, and the dragon toppled over a table laden with delicious pastries.Hu: Egy pill re csend volt, majd hatalmas nevetés tört ki mindenhol.En: There was a moment of silence, then eruptions of laughter echoed everywhere.Hu: „Bátor lovag!En: "Brave knight!"Hu: ” tapsolták meg Bencét, aki zavartan, de boldogan meghajolt.En: they applauded Bence, who, embarrassed but happy, bowed.Hu: Eszter odalépett hozzá, mosolygott, és a szemébe nézett.En: Eszter stepped over to him, smiled, and looked into his eyes.Hu: „Nagyon bátor voltál!En: "You were very brave!"Hu: ” mondta játékosan.En: she said playfully.Hu: Bence mosolyogva állt ott, és nevetett velük.En: Bence stood there smiling, laughing with them.Hu: Később, mikor kijöttek a bunkerból, a sötét égboltra néztek.En: Later, as they emerged from the bunker, they looked up at the dark sky.Hu: Bence megtanulta, hogy néha a legjobb benyomás az, ha egyszerűen csak önmagukat adják és nevetnek együtt az élet meglepetésein.En: Bence learned that sometimes the best impression is simply being yourself and laughing together at life's surprises.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck unpacks how Donald Trump's Department of Justice has become a political weapon, from targeting perceived enemies like James Comey to sweeping bribery cases under the rug, all while eroding public trust in law enforcement. He explores how Trump's strategy of framing his own criminal charges as political has worn down the public and set fire to the credibility of the legal system. Chuck also looks at the Democratic Party's internal strife over whether to embrace figures like Zohran Mamdani, the rising prospects of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and even murmurs of Lisa Murkowski eyeing a gubernatorial run. And beyond politics, he flags troubling signals in the economy—from surging Hamburger Helper sales to a slump in cardboard demand—that suggest things may not be as strong as the stock market makes them appear.Then, Dr. Michael Osterholm, one of the nation's foremost infectious disease experts, joins Chuck to confront the unsettling reality that Covid-19 was not “the big one.” From SARS and MERS as early warnings to the looming possibility of coronaviruses that are far more deadly than Covid, Osterholm argues that pandemics are inevitable—and the U.S. is dangerously unprepared. He discusses the political failures that prevented a serious after-action review, the collapse of government vaccine infrastructure, and why misinformation and anti-vaccine sentiment have left public health more vulnerable than ever.The conversation also looks forward: how mRNA technology could still be a game-changer, why developing respirators and updating building codes matter, and the urgent need for leadership with real bio-threat experience. Osterholm warns that everything from resurging childhood diseases to the rise of avian flu and the risk of bioterrorism are on the horizon, and he offers a sobering reminder—science is not fixed truth, it's the pursuit of truth. This episode is a wake-up call about what it will take to be ready for the next pandemic, which could be far worse than Covid-19.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews an incredible weekend of sports. Got injured in an accident?

Summe is over and the fall is fast approaching. To celebrate Martin dusted off some forgotten beers from his cellar to remind us that somethings don't need to be saved forever. Traquair 900 (2007) is an English barleywine. Barleywines are great to age...for a little while. After awhile it comes oddly minty. Not sure why it does but it's an instant clue your barleywine has past it's prime. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout used to a sought after stout, back in 2006. Nine years later, it's not as trendy or hyped and shouldn't be aged this long. Cardboard and lifeless, if you're holding on to stouts, it's time to drink them.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #russianimperialstout #imperialstout #barleywine

In this episode of Card Ladder Confidential, Brett kicks things off with a cold open that puts a $12,000 Jay Cutler card front and center—and opens a bigger discussion about what signals a set is becoming bigger than the player.From there, the conversation spans:Why 1/1s from the Panini era feel different than other iconic setsThe psychology of type collectors vs. set buildersHow “investment” became a dirty word in the hobbyThe $308M July sales number and what's really driving the marketChris and Josh talk about being overexposed to sports cards, why big fish are making waves again, and why so many collectors are asking for buying advice for the first time in years.Plus, the trio breaks down three crazy sales—from a $400K LeBron Exquisite to a Brady second-year Gold Prizm to a Kobe PMG Red that doubled over four years—and whether these sales reflect a rising tide or something else entirely.And of course, they close with pickups—including a Stacking Slabs-approved run of Totally Certified Jokic 1/1s and a Todd Gurley Black Finite that hits all the right collector buttons.Check out Card Ladder the official data partner of Stacking SlabsGet exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast Patreon[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Josh: | InstagramFollow Chris: | InstagramFollow Card Ladder: | Instagram | YouTube | WebsiteFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok

We love unique gaming experiences, especially from those tough-to-find games in Asia. Why are they so different from Western-made games? And what are the differences between games that originated from Japan, Taiwan, Korea, or other parts of the East? Jay Bernardo, marketing manager at Bezier Games and content creator at Cardboard East (which specializes in covering board games from Asia), was kind enough to join Going Analog to teach us the ways. We also recommend some new games that play best at 5 or 6 players! Timeline: 3:29 - Going Analog's game pick: Finca. 8:35 - Jay's game pick: Dune (1979 version). 18:01 - Jay's topic: East vs. West board games. 41:51 - Going Analog's topic: 5- to 6-player games.

In this special edition of Behind the Cardboard, host Ellie Dix sits down with legendary game designer and publisher Dominic Crapuchettes, the creative mind behind Say Anything, Wits and Wagers, and Evolution. They explore how Dominic captures a game's intended experience, the role of playtesting when publishing, and the creative tension between designing for fun vs. marketability. Plus, hear the surprising story behind organizing the first US game convention. Packed with insight, inspiration, and behind-the-scenes stories, this is a must-listen for game design enthusiasts.

It's another “lagniappe” episode of the Gumbo podcast, this time with Jay from Cardboard East! Jay is the marketing manager for Bezier Games, and he's here to chat about The Game Makers!  First, Jay gives us his two ENVIE games from Asian designers that will be featured at GENCON (to demo, check out Age of Galaxy and to buy, look at 12 Rivers). Plus, we throw in some lagniappe — Buffet Boss.  Then, we get into a deep dive with Jay all about The Game Makers, designed by Ben Rossett from Panda Games and coming in September to crowdfunding from Bezier Games. Finally, Jay dishes on two spicy hot games he played recently:  Castle Raisers and The Wondrous Museum before we close out the show.  Sit back with a cold bottle of Dr. Enuf, grab your favorite meat-and-three, and enjoy another episode of Lagniappe from Board Game Gumbo!

EP #748: Bryan gets invited no where. But when he does, he is the "guest of dishonor" walking the red cardboard carpet for a wanna-be MTV Reality star! And...As the 12 Hours of TCB approaches, Bryan and Krissy are halfway between excitement and existential crisis. This episode kicks off with updates about the event's May 31st launch—including the herculean logistics involved, the guest lineup, and whether Apple Podcasts will let them get away with hitting the RSS feed with 12 episodes in one day. Later in the episode, Bryan recounts a bizarre party experience involving a couple who brought their own snacks (uninvited), lingered way too long, and talked about spiritual healing until everyone else left. He uses this encounter to illustrate why “open invite” parties are dangerous—and how saying “you can bring a friend” can escalate into a full-blown hostage situati TCBits Music: WSHIT studio sponsor, Tina, Tan & Tweeze Watch EP #748 on YouTube!
