Hello everybody and welcome to the very 111th episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down Podcast,

a number that's a lot less fun to say than it is to write down.

My name is Quentin Smith and I am joined by just one person on this podcast and I'm

delighted to say it's staff writer Ava Foxford. How are you doing Ava?

I am actually pretty good. The sun is shining and I've been playing games.

Well, I mean, you say the sun's shining. You did just tell me before the podcast

begins that you are relieved. You sealed the sun out of the room you're recording the

podcast in. Is that right?

Yeah, but I'm glad to know that the sun is still out there.

Well, I'm really sure I'm going to know that other people are slowly being cooked.

Well, I am in my cool dim dank attic bedroom.

It is my favorite kind of weather. I don't mind telling you when it's raining outside and I am

perfectly, I almost said squeaky dry. That's not a term. That's a combination of squeaky clean and

I don't know, dry as a bone. Do you actually get dry enough to use squeak?

No, no matter how hard I towel myself. Although I'm now of an age where I'm sort of like starting

to see the wrinkles in my face for the first time. I'm sort of being a lot less vigorous

in my facial towel. It's age comes at me fast over.

It always makes me really grumpy when you and Matt complain about getting old when I am older than

both of you. How old are you? 36.

That's fine. That's younger. I can't say that.

Today on this podcast we are going to be talking about some board games, believe it or not, I swear.

We are. We're going to be talking about Isle of Cats, a game about saving cats which are tetras shapes.
