BJ opens the pre-show -- instead of the usual PBM bumper -- with a call to action on legal issues regarding #GeorgeFloyd and #BlackLivesMatter.
Then, BJ chats with Kevin & Melissa Delp of Tantrum House about their new Kickstarter for Season 7, and for a quick history of their newest team members, Shantelle & Jonah. Of course, there's some talk of some spicy hot games:
- Whistle Mountain
- Maglev Metro
- Dead Reckoning
Plus, BJ, and Steve "The Name Father" play a new game with Melissa and Kevin called unimaginatively, "Board Game: The Heartthrob". It is a rousing new debut as everyone loved the game including the Chat Krewe (who played along).
Thanks for listening!

BJ has been demoing for Grey Fox Games for a few years, and has had some great conversations with chief developer, Josh Lobkowicz. Plus, Josh loves travel! So, when Josh started Travel Buddy Games, with the idea of producing games that help you "See The World; Have Fun", BJ could not wait to get Josh on the show. BJ & The NameFather chat with Josh and Keith Piggott, the designer of The Great Barrier Reef Card Game, about the ongoing Kickstarter project:
