April 23, 2026 HSM 200: Losing to Spell Pierce and Losing Your Playgroup with Josh Lee Kwai of The Command Zone!
WELCOME TO EPISODE 200!!!
And to help us celebrate this huge milestone, we are joined by Josh Lee Kwai from The Command Zone podcast and Game Knights!
On today's episode, voltronning someone in their own home so badly that you don't get invited back, an opponent threatens to scoop to Spell Pierce, and the regret of breaking out your Baral deck to keep another player in check.
Also, managing salt on set and whining until you win.
Thank you to all the prospectors in the mine for listening along with us for 200 episodes. We would not have made it this far without our incredible community.
Stay Salty!
Sam, Mike, & Tony

Also, Tony and Mike pitch Sam on Slay the Spire 2, and we might be cringe but we are free.
Stay Salty!

April 02, 2026 HSM 197: Salt in Upkeep, Fifteen Board Wipes, and the Balatro Wagon
Welcome to Episode 197!
Today, a player in a friendly tournament keeps missing triggers which leads to tension in the group, a poorly built spite deck confuses a playgroup, and the headache of trying to track down a gift exchange deck that was never sent.
Also Sam is off the Balatro wagon and on the Balatro bandwagon. (or is it the other way around?)

Stay Salty!
