Summary
In this juicy 129th episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, it’s time for business, baby! Join Matt and Tom for a conversation about Carnegie, where our thoughts doth runneth over. Literally. We aimed to keep this one short and sweet but then Matt got ever so excited about history - something that we like to call ‘a nerd move’, in the biz.
Think of this one as the ‘one-two-punch’ of board game podcasts, if you will. A first half that basks in the utter joy of the thing, and a second where reality rears its ugly head at our barred doors. We just wanted to enjoy a game about a hard day’s work, reality! Why do you always spoil our fun?! I JUST WANTED TO CRUSH A WHOLE UNION IN PEACE!!!
Have a lovely weekend!

| 0:43.3 | What are you going to do about it? You're speaking to big board games and big board games says, |
| 0:48.3 | tough. Throw it in the bin and start again. Just check it in the bin like the rest of us. |
| 0:52.3 | Life is a legacy game. All right, just tear it up and move again. Just chuck it in the bin like the rest of us. Life is a legacy game. |
| 0:54.4 | All right, just tear it up and move on. |
| 0:58.1 | Hey, let's bring it down a notch and tell the audience, the listeners, the viewers with their ears what we're going to talk about on this podcast. |

| 1:09.8 | We're going to talk about |
