Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to all the new folks that have come into the fold from the Brass content! We're stoked to have you with us.  This episode is one where clearly the crew was having too much fun taking shots at each other. This time around we decided to break down those ambiguous terms of luck, tactics, and strategy to try and have a defined conversation; Scott nailed us with yet another word game (and had us using the phrase Banana Balls multiple times), and then we get into a surprisingly contentious Table Shelf or Trade segment that finishes out with us just feeling old because 2021 shouldn't be five years ago. Thanks for checking this episode out and make sure to let us know what you think of everything by hitting us up on the comments or emailing us at [email protected]! And if you haven't listened to our Brass content yet, go do so!

1) I'm gonna straight up copy what Roxley said about us in Update 19 here because I'm over the moon that we got this notice from them:

"If you want the deepest mechanical breakdown of Brass: Pittsburgh out there right now, look no further than Board All the Time. Their love for the Brass series comes through in every minute of both videos, and their comparison with Birmingham might be the best discussion of what makes Pittsburgh its own thing that we've seen from any creator so far.

If you want to go deep before the campaign closes, these podcasts are for you. "

(HOW COOL IS THAT?!)
