WALKER’S CHALLENGE THIS WEEK: LISTEN TO BACK TO WORK EP 1-10The Trio try to address Walker’s addiction to stimulants and heavy drinking but he narrowly avoids deeper nuance by discussing theater popcorn and cotton candy profit margins as a form of Alchemy. Walker is a broken human with no self control and too much money, so he bought a GBA SP immediately after the last episode to fill the hole in his soul. Holmes goes to a Nerd Store and Board Game Cafe for his birthday and is exasperated by plebs trying to get in on his sub-culture. Also, Walker HATES your Monopoly™ house rules.Show Notes:• Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever• The Misconception: Coffee Stimulates You•George Lucas Lost a $40 Million Bet to Steven Spielberg Over Star Wars• Follow-Up:• Game Boy Advance SP• Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen• Pokémon Yellow•Gameboy Advance SP Headphone Adapter•The Incredibles (GBA)•ATV Offroad Fury Boundary PenaltyQuick D&D Buyer’s Guide:•Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook (Fifth Edition):◦ Hard Cover◦ PDF•D&D Dice•Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide•Volo's Guide to Monsters•Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual•D&D Beyond•Twilight Imperium (Fourth Edition)WALKER’S CHALLENGE THIS WEEK: LISTEN TO BACK TO WORK EP 1-10• Overcast Link• Spotify Link• 5by5.tv Page for Back to Work Episode 1HOLMES’S CHALLENGE EPISODE 5: DO NOTHING FOR 1 HOURFollow Mark: @LordiusMFollow Walker: @MTWlkrFollow Holmes: @ShutUpHolmesDisclaimer: All Amazon links are Affiliate Links.
