Welcome back everyone to another week at the Damage Report. Also welcome me back to the

Damage Report, please. No, Brooke is here. Just kidding, yes, very happy that you're back.

We've been talking about you being gone and how sad it was, how upsetting it was, how

we are so grateful.

Well, I wanted to say how grateful I was that you and Anna and Ida and Brett and J.R.

fell down the fourth or out the weekend and did a lot of great shows. The reviews have

been fabulous. Yeah. As Trump would say, great ratings, highest ratings. So things are

gonna go downhill now that I'm back. But I like to eat and live places so I'm gonna keep

going. But anyway, it was a rough weekend obviously.

I'm gonna be honest, I've been telling everybody that you were at a board game convention

playing things like Candyland and Yachty and Monopoly. So tell us how was it?

I was at a board game convention. We weren't playing those things.

Did you win shoots and not are this time?

I would play it, but I'm not going to, I want to now make this entire show about board games.

I'm not gonna do that. I'm just going to say that if the extent of your knowledge of a board

game is that sorry and trouble and things like that, you should understand that every year,

literally thousands of awesome board games are made that come from a variety of different genres

and can facilitate awesome conversation and fun experience with your friends.

Actually run a table and not just on your phone and board games are waiting for you to discover.

They are awesome and they're not what you remember playing growing up.

Life, did you play life?

No, I did not play life.
