From 1982 comes The All About Appleton Game… - Beer and Board Games

[@tenmenstrong]

“I just work a daily job” is the most solidly Midwestern statement I’ve heard in a long time.

[@GreatWightSpark]

I hope they remember to use it in the next Mad Libs.

[@sloth0jr]

I think what Appleton needed was wandering monsters....

[@GreatWightSpark]

Like a Dylan, with 20 real dollars?

[@PlastoJoe]

An Arkham Horror spinoff might be a brilliant idea

[@GreatWightSpark]

Just found out that's where Willem Dafriend's from, so they have at least a green goblin.

[@sjmarlowgm]

My favorite part of this game is how you make money out on the street, presumably by mugging Appleton citizens or dealing drugs.

[@KrustyFrank27]

Matt’s stories of the bookstore are legendary, but we finally learn about Aaron’s past job.

[@GreatWightSpark]

I can imagine him sitting there, in his strange jeans, fed up that his Salsa Chassis isn't anodizing uniformly.

[@TomWDW1]

One of the funniest episodes in a while (and that's saying something). God bless Brett. "Don't think I didn't hear you chuckle over there, either"

[@GreatWightSpark]

His sass is over 9000!

[@ROOKTABULA]

Holy Shit. This is the first "local town" themed game I've ever seen that isn't a straight up Monopoly clone.

[@cowpercoles1194]

Dear God. I went to Lawrence University in Appleton Wisconsin. Dear God Conkey's books, oh God. I'm having flashbacks...

[@PlastoJoe]

Appleton (Menominee: Ahkōnemeh) is a city in Outagamie, Calumet, and Winnebago counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. One of the Fox Cities, it is situated on the Fox River, 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Green Bay and 100 miles (160 km) north of Milwaukee. Appleton is the county seat of Outagamie County. As of the 2020 Census it had a population of 75,644, making it the sixth largest city in Wisconsin. Appleton is a part of the Fox Cities metropolitan area, the third largest in the state behind Milwaukee and Madison.

[@PlastoJoe]

This is how I felt watching this game.

[@Cole.....]

I can understand a town being in two counties, but three? Were they drunk when they drew the city limits? (They probably were.)

[@CaptChrispy]

Maybe Hobby World changed its name to Hobby Town around the time of LOTR coming out and that was probably an astute business decision

[@faville]

RIP Conkey’s Bookstore. Still miss it. Glad it’s living large in this single run board game from the 80s!

[@seanhenry2921]

The video (not) brought to you by the Appleton, Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce!

[@annaheff7332]

When he worked on the Capitol building, was Aaron also employed by Knobs and Knockers?

[@GreatWightSpark]

"This town runs on knobs!"

[@ellishotomani1462]

Great game! I want to play it! I didn't even know that Wisconsin was a real place until now!

[@SnareX]

Last time I was in Appleton I was doing traveling sales back in 05. I know this map.

[@SnareX]

My hometown made a game like this. It was all over the local news. Nobody bought it. (I'm not from Appleton)

[@nintendolunchbox]

I am also a fan of business cats but never thought they sounded like baby cookie. But NOW I will. :)

[@Zylork0122]

In retrospect, you guys should have had ciders for this game.

[@McBehrer]

8:05 mounds is great, what are you talking about

[@TomWDW1]

Yea! I got a Cheer! Thanks Arin :-)

[@michelle-yd7sr]

Doug and The Business Cats are my favorite!😂

[@damonteufel]

I had a Marvel Superheroes lunchbox back in 1980 that I would absolutely murder to have again. I understand your joy.

[@AdamTheRaptor]

We actually got to see Matt do the Baby Cookie voice 😲😲😲 Love it. You guys are hilarious

[@ohnocrow5195]

Great episode!

[@gordieparenteau6555]

12:30 Ah, the return of Eddie Money.

[@ohnocrow5195]

That board game map looks like it'd be great for a Gangbusters rpg

[@regbill]

This game makes me never want to go Appleton.

[@captainunderpants200]

Went searching for Doug and the Business Cats. Can recommend.

[@murvo]

I like the guy who had no idea how to move his piece around the board, bless his heart!

[@sloth0jr]

to be fair - I was a little confused. Do you move on the spaces between the dots, or on the dots?

[@Cole.....]

Coming soon: Getting Around Green Bay Some Stuff in Sheboygan Money Matters in Manitowoc Finding Fond du Lac Owner of a Lonely Oshkosh

Save Some Room In Your Sauk City for Me

[@marshalldowning7611]

I love when this show gets reeeeeeally Wisconsin

[@bmike3000]

so crazy that matt brought up business cats in this one, i found that channel like 3 hours before watching this

[@SnareX]

Any chance for a new eHal without it being a live stream?

[@blamesocietyfilms]

I might just do that sometime

[@jeffthevideoguy23]

Orange you glad it wasn't Waupaca?

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Wonder how many of those businesses no longer exist? Too the google maps :D

[@eldergroan]

talking about place names in Appleton, realizing sooooo many viewers do not understand the words coming out of your mouth

[@Wingspan_5]

Drinking wasn't already built into the rules for this one?

[@csswessel]

Awesome

[@DollyBelladonna]

BRETT !!

[@tjg555]

I miss it when Matt would win all the time.
