Sometimes it&#8217;s bad chemistry and sometimes personalities simply clash, but Eric fit in soooo right with Flip the Table&#8217;s Chris &amp; Flip that you would&#8217;ve thought he was a regular on the show. Constantly throughout the live recording they were all jiving and riffing off each other. All of which was wholesome and fun.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_6084\" src=\"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_6084-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Flip The Table is the weirdest podcast I&#8217;ve ever listened to. I had heard about it sometime in May or June, but it wasn&#8217;t until late September until I finally gave it a try. I knew going into it that the cast plays old\/weird games and then talks about them. I never thought it would be anything good or special, but oooohhhh man I was wrong!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_6089\" src=\"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_6089-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><br \/>\nAlthough Flip the Table sounds like it might be boring, it&#8217;s fantastic. For starters, it&#8217;s one of the best produced podcasts I&#8217;ve ever listened to. Their audio is always clean and it&#8217;s more than obvious that the crew spends a fair amount of time editing and tweaking each episode. That&#8217;s important because it means there is very rarely any down time. If something is slow or boring it&#8217;s cut before you even get a chance to listen to it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_6074\" src=\"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_6074-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><br \/>\nThe other achievement of Flip the Table is that&#8217;s funny. At the live recording, you would&#8217;ve thought we were at a comedy show because the audience was laughing from start to finish. Even when I&#8217;m alone in the car or listening to an episode with Lisa, both of us crack up uncontrollably. The cast of the show isn&#8217;t out for fame or glory. They just want to play board games and have fun and somehow that sense of fun is imbued each episode.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_6062\" src=\"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_6062-682x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to Eric, the other surprise guest of the show was Daisy the Dalek, a balloon creation Flip whipped up in honor of both the live recording and the 50th Anniversary Special of Doctor Who.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2346\" alt=\"IMG_6106\" src=\"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_6106-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_6106-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_6106-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br \/>\nSeriously, the Flip the Table live recording was a blast and if you&#8217;ve never given Flip The Table a try <a href=\"http:\/\/tableflipsyou.blogspot.com\/2013\/11\/episode-42-saved-by-bell-live-at-bggcon.html\">now is the time because the BGG.Con episode is a great jumping on point<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did a lot of stuff and saw a lot of cool things when I was at BoardGameGeek.Con, but the one event that was my absolute favorite was the live recording of Flip The Table!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2329"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2363,"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2329\/revisions\/2363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
