Read excerpt
If you’ve been with us since the beginning, then this is now 20 times you’ve tuned in to hear a little Oak and Onion action, and as excited as we are to hit that milestone, we’re especially excited for how many people have joined us on that journey. Thank you, listeners! On this celebratory episode, Joel and Chris talk spooky movies, superhero tv, and games we’ve played this week. Listen in as we give each other 20th anniversary gifts and then travel back to 2020 for a look at how the pandemic i
Episode 19: Paper Plates of Spaghetti (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Joel and Chris decide to opt out of torturing each other with games this week and instead simply offer up a few choice rounds of This or That. Then it’s a long overdue look at the highlight reel where we see fresh life in the crowdfunding scene now that GenCon is a month behind us. All that and more in an episode so jam packed Joel forgets to even finish writing the show notes! It’s another can’t miss episode of two guys talkin’ board games to their own amusement!

Read excerpt
In this episode, Chris and Joel live in the past, celebrating games and movies from the past week, recounting games from one of our favorite years passed, and mourning people who passed this week as well. Then Joel tests Chris’s board game component knowledge in the cleverly titled “What’s in a Game,” which doesn’t have a clever “past” phrase to go with it, but hey, you can’t have everything.

Nothing will ever be the same. Tune in to episode 17 and find out what happens when games become movies and movies become games. Opens wide August 26.
Episode 16: Two is the Magic Number (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The dynamic duo is back again to talk all things two player. Or at least SOME things two player. Despite the challenge of getting back into work mode, Joel pulls it together long enough to teach Chris about Canadian tv, and in return Chris brings Joel up to date on the next Texas Chainsaw in his rewatch. But the heart of the episode is a dive into two player games, first by discussing multiplayer games that shine at two players, and then by counting down our top five two player games–at least th
