When we started this podcast ten episodes ago, we were but four childish trivia nerds who would giggle at mere mention of names like ‘Mosher Butts’ without even considering his indelible contribution to the board game industry! But now, AJ can ask mature, insightful questions like "does Scrabble spell potato?” On episode one, if we had received a bad review, we would’ve spent the whole hour passive aggressively needling the anonymous listener just to prove they didn't hurt our feelings. As adults, we don't need validation from strangers, just James's mom, who isn't just loving the podcast, but learning things she never would've known without it like the sound of her own son's voice. And at the beginning of this journey, Buffalo Zach would've scoffed at Elyse flipping to the sticky pages of the Guinness book to find a record that never would've been set if Alfred Hitchcock hadn't scared people away from taking showers. Now, 10 weeks in, he can calmly voice his protestations, and move on to more adult musings, like, if on those lonely nights, wandering through worlds in Nintendo land without Princess Peach, Mario and Yoshi might've had maritals. Not in a lascivious manner, of course, but in a way that challenges us all to re-examine what we know about love itself. Ten episodes in, we're wiser. We've learned not just about the world but ourselves. We appreciate cinnamon and understand that chocolate isn't ALWAYS cold, and I feel like that's a good thing.
