Bert and Ryan chime in on "Consent Sheets" and checklists that are the rage from the progressive members of the TTRPG and D&D Communities right now.

Ryan tells Bert about a tweet of his that went viral and set the extreme members of the hobby into a tizzy. After the news, the guys talk about their favorite cooperative board games. Which co-op is their

Bert and Ryan Review Windward, the Board Game and sail the high seas, er, atmosphere hunting whales, er, Crestors. Once the review is over, the guys read a ridiculous list of "Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons That Need to Go."

Finally, after two weeks of hype, Bert brings the questions that are often posed to him and the boys give some nerdy advice on all topics that are gloriously geeky. The
