I've watched the last 6 months worth of videos the last week, such a huge fan of you guys!
Lol that’s dedication!!! Thanks so much
Thanks for being awesome. Happy New Year! 🎉
Thank you so much!!
Wow!!! I can't believe I won something!! Woohoo!! also, love Jamie throwing up the horns!! email incoming!
We got it!! Congrats!
And here I was proud of my 613 plays in 2023! You guys have amazing numbers. Love the channel, don't let the haters get to you. Happy 2024!
613 plays is incredible!! We are an anomaly that’s for sure haha
I'm in the Discord. Not a super active poster, and I still haven't jumped into the BGA part of it all, but I will say that it is a super friendly and welcoming community full of very cool people.
Appreciate the kind words!
Thanks for what you guys do. Sorry some people are butts 😮. Hope the next year is great for you guys 😊
They are indeed butts! Appreciate the kindness
Jeff almost made me cry, because of his invite to discord, as I also am a lurker on discord. I am shy, but I think I will join in the conversation. Thanks for doing all you do.
You should!! It’s a lovely place to chat :)
Can confirm, played Cribbage with Jeff and CoB with Jamie and Michelle. Great time on BGA and discord.
Thanks for the content you two I am new to the board gaming hobby. Been playing games realy only since June. I love your channel.
I have never been a fan of discord but will probably join yours if I can find people there to play games with on BGA.
Keep it up.
There’s lots of BGA folks on there!
Holy cow! That is a lot of plays
Agreed lol
2023 was a year full of fun videos so thank you so much! :-) Have an amazing 2024!
You as well! Thank you
Wonderful video. I… like Jeff am a huge sports fan and watch a lot of games since I am old and retired. However, when my wife of over forty years asks me what I’m doing I tell her I watching Jamie and Jeff. You guys are the best and finally I have her interested in board games. THANK YOU.❤
Love that story! Thanks for sharing. Thank you for the kind words and watching our silly selves!
That's called heat lightning. It's very common in the south USA. Usually doesn't accompany rain and is always stays in the clouds
It’s crazy! We get heat lightning here also but you can never actually see the lightning. Just flashes in the clouds
@ FostertheMeeple it's actually just regular lightning way way way far away that looks like it's in the clouds but it actually isn't.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet really? These clouds were not very far away haha
I know im late to this video but Happy New Year! Found your channel in 2023 and you have been the happiest and most consistenly joyous channel im subscribed to
Did you catch the part where you won the giveaway?!?
@@FostertheMeeple Omg no I was making my French Toast and stepped out of the kitchen for a sec at that part! Thank you so much!
@@FostertheMeeple I emailed you guys, thank you again, gotta pay more attention when I cook and watch you guys next time! Lol
Steam deck love! I'm so impressed by all the videos and trying new things with the channel. I was up with you Jamie in the final girl playthrough. Keep up all of the great work in the coming year.
Woooo!! And we appreciate you for it!
I have been eyeing bottom of the 9th for months. We're a baseball family but I have put myself on a buy ban lol
What a better way to break that ban! ;)
Happy New Year! I love the stats....and candy!
Congrats to the peeps 🥳
Thanks!
Florida is the lightning strike capital of the world. And that is 100% just a florida summer. Its because of the shape of the state water gets evaporated and then when it gets over land it kinda cools? And just bottoms out. At least thats the explanation I always heard. You can set your watch by the rain.
Craziness!
We are so excited. We are going to Dice Tower East this summer. Which is perfect it is during the summer so my wife and I don't have to take off since we are teachers and it is in Orlando! Double winner. Plus my best friend from college lives there. Super excited! It does not seem to be a huge one so a good one to ease into them.
Dice Tower conventions are very much catered to just playing games, they’re great! Hope you enjoy :)
I totally agree about GenCon. I'm glad I went, but I don't know i would ever go again. However, a highlight was getting a selfie with you guys!
Love that! Happy we could help!
Happy New Year!
❤🎉
Happy new year!
Numbsters is also my most played game 😂 such a good game! Thank you Jeff and Jamie for all you do! It makes my week to watch your videos! And I will echo the amazing discord community ❤
Thank you for being along for the ride with us!
I got Deadly Dowagers and i liked the game overall, but I was lowkey disappointed by the repeated art for the husbands. Reminded me of the cat designs in Cat Lady, which I also like overall.
Fair!! That has never bothered me (and honestly I didn’t even notice until you mentioned it here). Sorry you didn’t have a great time with it!
Definitely feel you on the GenCon stuff. I actually decided not to go last year because of how many badges had been sold, and I don't think I've seen any of the content creators I follow come away super thrilled with how it went compared to years prior. I hope the organizers take this into account somewhat and maybe reduce the number of badges sold.
I’m fine with the amount of people if they have the space to fit them all, which they didn’t
I know it's not gaming related, but as someone who is heading to Disney in 53 days, I'd love to hear more about your WDW trip! How many park days did you do? Did you use Genie+? Individual lightning lanes? Were you at a Disney resort? Early park entry? Did you use Disney transportation? Any regerts? Any money saving tips?
(don't feel the need to answer all of this here, but for my own selfish reasons building up to our trip, I'd love to know 🙃)
When we go to Disney we go hard and do like everything haha so we went for two weeks and stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter resort (moderate resort but smaller so nice and quiet with great food) we usually get Genie + for everyday but this trip we waited to see how busy the parks were that day first and ended up only getting it for a few days (but we went during a “slower” season) We do rope drop our first week and then second week usually take it slower, we always use park hopper and typically spend half day at one park, go back to the resort for a nap midday when it’s super hot and then back to. A different park! We always do all four because we love them all! Always use Disney transportation- we exist in the Disney bubble only when we’re there haha if you have more questions, we have a whole Disney channel in our discord with a BUNCH of frequent Disney goers that have great tips!!
Those are INCREDIBLE stats!
Hahah thank you!
YES JEFF!!!! Shake Shack!!!!!!!
It’s an addiction
I am so excited to watch this! Jeff's digital plays sounds like my BGA plays for Can't Stop --- lol. Except mine is like ..... I don't know.. 5,000 times.
Holy smokes lol
Amazing video! And all that love for the Knizia’s (Ra, Modern Art tcg, Zoo Vadis). Jeff, since you love route building, please try Blue Lagoon and Through the Desert if you get the chance.
I’ve wanted to try blue lagoon! Haven’t heard of through the desert but will for sure check it out!
@@FostertheMeeple I have both and several more if you are ever in the DC area.
love the surprises section!
Love to hear it!! Thank you
Bounce off footage. Love that game!
It was very fun!
Sad that I lost but Congrats to the winners
I absolutely love pax unplugged, the solo traveler experience could probably be better (It's hard finding people to play with in an environment full of established groups and a not so great LFG system), but it was still great!
Our discord meetup is primarily meant for people to meet up to play games together! You should for sure stop by next time.
Hugs for Kya 💚
Appreciated!
Ok ok, I joined the discord. Like I said before, I save your videos for last because you guys leave me feeling happy.
My wife, aunt and I will be learning and playing villainous in 2 weeks. We might have ?s.
Happy new year you two!
Hope you enjoy it!! Happy new year :)
I have to ask , is Full Throttle behind Jeff related to the Lucasarts game ?!
I have no idea! Haha
Love your show. You both are so cute. Show suggestion, 45 min or less games with the best presentation
We will see what we can do!!
I (Andy) also love stats. #STATS (In fact, as I watch this video, I am busily computing our own yearly averages and statistics!)
TWINS
It's true. I should go back to being blonde and get a job at a board game company in Canada@@FostertheMeeple
We could have been mentioned more…
You know what? You’re right.
I forgot to mention when I saw it but, Jamie I saw your solo video on BGG on the weekend. FRONT PAGE
Crazy right?!
@@FostertheMeeple yes it sure is! Good for you! Is that your first video on BGG? I don’t go on it too often, so I haven’t seen anything previously
@@Jay_IMO2012 Jamie does a monthly video for BGG now! I think that was her fourth?
@@FostertheMeeple congrats on that! That’s great for Jamie, and great for the channel. Now I’ll have to visit BGG more often to show support for you guys
Who are the Table Knots? Do they have a channel?
They do! Tablenauts! They’re lovely humans
❤
💙
Where’s that Raptor hoodie, Jeff?!
In the closet!
@@FostertheMeeple hahaha sorry I’m a Knicks fan. I think we won that trade. Are you also a Leafs fan 🫣
@@_masfueg0_ raptors in full rebuild mode. And god no. I couldn’t sleep at night if I was
@@FostertheMeeple hahaha Knicks have been rebuilding since the 90s if you ask me. We are Lightning fans and hate seeing the Leafs every playoffs 🤣
I saw bottom of the ninth used for cheap and didn’t buy it. Oh, the regret.
I don’t know how available it is. Someone mentioned it might be available from Barnes & Noble? Could be wrong though.
I knew you were a corporate Jamie, can I ask what you did? Finance, HR?
HR! I worked in HR for close to 10 years and left for my Marketing role!
@@FostertheMeeple amazing!
we did it...what's this video? 🤣🤣
Thoughts on doing 2 videos and 1 live stream? you kind of hit both 3 videos and livestreaming do everything. Less editing, more "content
etc. I prefer live streams over videos any day so I'd love to watch you guys
I doubt there’s a chance Jamie moves off of 3 YT videos a week. But you will see more live streams this year for sure
agricablah 🤣
She loves that joke
