"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

We made a huge mistake. We foolishly thought we could do a tiering of the entire set of released material for Shatterpoint, and to do it in a reasonable time. People wouldn't shut up, so we had to break it up. We are going to be releasing Part One now, which is our visiting and revisiting of support tier rankings, and we will be releasing Parts Two and Three this week. There is an acceptable amount of fighting in this episode--mostly because people besides Kenny and JK are constantly wrong.
Sorry for the weird pause at 51:30. Scott was too quiet and got cut off by the noise gate. Just skip ahead 30 seconds.
Hop onto the Slack to tell us why we're wrong. We would love to hear why the Weequays are not hot garbage. I will also post the tier list for quick consumption in a thread.
Please rate and review the podcast!
We love you all! Have an amazing week! Come to Utah for the Salt Lake Open and the Shatterpoint Grand Tournament on August 3!

Feel free to enjoy it in whatever way you see fit but know that JK prepared some beautiful slides for you should you choose to consume content with your eyeballs. This is a bonus episode that we are releasing to discuss Ahsoka Fulcrum and Vader-3. We meant for this to be shorter, but of course we couldn't shut our yaps.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedHello and welcome to Episode 77! In this episode, Sean and Kyle talk about their 4-1 runs at the Torchlight GT that happened in Ontario, Canada last month. Rather than giving play-by-plays, they focus on matchups and thoughts regarding how lists performed against each other. It's a part of our drive to move away from minute descriptions of games to talk more about how lists are and should be performing. It's a great discussion and Sean and Kyle are as always full of incredible insights. Check out Kyle's tablebound.ca . The website and products offered are absolutely phenomenal and you could not be supporting a better business. Check out the Tablebound Open , which will be an absolutely amazing event with tons of swag and prize support. It happens over May 3-4.

Welcome to Episode 76! In this episode, Kenny and Sammy talk about the recent CanCon tournament that happened in Australia and give some meta observations. They talk about the seeming mismatch between Iden's swiss WR and her power level. Listen to Luke and Tobias on the Red Mandos episode give a summary of the event. In classic Red Mando style, it takes them four days to get through the discussion. Join the Slack and tell us how wrong we are about the meta! We love being told we are wrong!!!…

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedWelcome to Episode 75! In this episode, Scott and Kenny discuss the LVO tournament, with a particular focus on more high-level analysis of the matchups from their run through the tournament. There is less of a focus on play-by-play analysis (as in, we tried to avoid it entirely), and more a discussion on how their lists (Iden Moff and Kanan Hera) played into the respective field. They close with a discussion on matchups generally, and why Iden feels so strong right now. Scott and Kenny took first and second respectively at the tournament, so at least you know you are not getting the worst advice from ZiFi ... we normally give pretty bad advice. We love you all!

Welcome to Episode 74! We will have our LVO episodes start releasing on Monday, January 27, but this episode was recorded right after LVO and was an opportunity for Ken and Dan to ask and answer rapid-fire questions from the community. This is just a straight-up fun episode. We talk about the competitive meta, surviving cons, etc., with a series of community-generated questions. Best of luck to those playing at CanCon and Torchlight this weekend. Another round of amazingly competitive tournaments. JOIN THE SLACK !…
