Some familiar voices from the X-Wing podcasting world join the Scrubs to talk about their latest, less Star-Wars-related endeavors. We took advantage of having guests experienced in reviews to finally air all our joys and grievances about the Kenobi series!

Gencon first impressions from the Scrubs who watched it, and then we get to what Dan actually cares about, grilling Matt about how Minecraft works.  Timestamps: [00:17:00] Gencon | [00:42:00] Games We've Been Playing | [01:23:00] Announcements Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/92WJYpz

We Scrubs meant to talk about more than just this one recent Disney Star Wars series, but somehow we talked about other things and then got stuck on Boba Fett for way too long.  Timestamps: [00:03:00] Actual X-Wing Talk Devolving Into Nonsense | [00:20:00] Games We've Been Playing | [00:40:00] Book of Boba Fett Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/92WJYpz

With the excitement of the Scrubdown past and no guests to entertain us, the Scrubs have to re-remmeber how to make content. Hang on til the end if you want food talk! Before that, Matt shares the 2.5 tournament he actually enjoyed playing in, and Outer Rim is a definitively better game now.

Several members of the interim council of 2.0 X-Wing are on the cast to explain their mission to keep everyone in the game, regardless of which edition they prefer to play. You can find the X-Wing Legacy squadbuilder at https://xwing-legacy.com/ and here is an invite link to the Legacy 2.0 discord: https://discord.gg/rU5agW6W5u

The champion (Tommy Adams) and runner up (Doug Howe) of the possibly-inaugural Midwest Scrubdown join the cast to cover the tournament. 

Congratulations to the randomly drawn winner of the April Fitwest Scrub prize of dubious value! He joins us in this episode to talk about pushups and ARC-170s.

The Scrubs recount their first X-Wing adventure with the whole cast since The Changes, and then eventually get to what they really care about this week, a recently discovered board game. 

Turns out, brains are really weird. And the Midwest Scrub Himself has a more different brain than most of us! Dan shares how his SDAM does (and doesn't) affect the game of X-Wing and the game of life. 

Matt reports back from the first big 2.5 event, and we discuss details for the Scrubdown and for the Fitwest Scrub April Challenge! Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/92WJYpz
