Just listened to this episode and was wondering how I would go about getting on that list for the bootlegs?

I listened to this episode today and I really enjoyed it. Excellent interview with Grant aka Toasterboy who is a real credit to the FG universe.

If you don't follow his Youtube channel and various feds on the board you are missing out on some real fun with the game. Heck, I was inspired to try online myself from watching the videos. I also find myself whether online or dice rolling now yelling out "target is a five, roll is seven" or various other number combinations when rolling for pins

I just finished up too finally. Unfortunately the kids disrupt my listening all the time so I end up taking in small parts at a time. Fantastic to listen to Grant and would like to echo my appreciation for everything he does. Definitely a main eventer among promoters. 👍

I finished listening to this episode today.

Regarding the opening news, my participation at the Perennial will, unfortunately, be limited as I am flying to California that morning for BOLA weekend at PWG. I think my plane lands at 10:55 AM PST and then I have to get to my hotel and hopefully be able to check into my room early. I am hoping to make it at least for the panels but I guess it depends on how things go that day in Los Angeles.

I like Bron Breaker but I don't like his name as I think Bron Steiner sounds much better. It seems to me WWE, other than when he won the title, rarely references his lineage.

I also like the new segment of Lego Corner. I still have to find time to build the Imperial Armored Marauder I got for Christmas.

It was great to hear Grant as this week's guest on Roll Up! Grant is a great friend (I got to hang out with him at Universal Studios back in November) who is an extremely talented puppeteer (I once got to see him perform in Puppet Up! on the Strip) and musician and an important asset to this community with his extremely fun weekly podcast and his production of the CWFH cards of which I have enjoyed working with him for the past 10 years. Speaking of Grant's podcast, I listened to this week's episode tonight where the topic for next week's LOW spotlight on Roll UP was revealed and it is one of my favorite wrestlers in LOW.

Finally, for COTG I have always only played 12 big COTG shows per game year as that is just a number that works well for me personally. COTG is great and I would play more of it, but I consider myself primarily a LOW and Indy player so (other than last year/2021 when I was building up my COTG color card fed history) I usually devote the majority of my playing time to those other two brands.

Once again, this was a great episode and I am also looking forward to next week's show.

Fantastic episode. Loved these Promoter Spotlight episodes. Grant's channel and podcast are great!

I realized I forgot to comment on this episode. Great show! I liked hearing about Grant's beginnings with the game. I also enjoyed hearing about how he got into puppetry. That was very interesting! I'm a huge fan of the Muppets and MST3K.

I've said it before, but it definitely bears repeating... Grant's enthusiasm for this game is nothing short of infectious... Anyone promoter that has never listened to his podcast or watched his YouTube channel, do yourself a HUGE favor... Check it out! What are you waiting for?!

[Big Bri]

I'll echo what everyone else has said. Awesome episode and nice to hear Grant's backstory!

I seem to always stay 2 behind on my Roll Up's, but as always, really enjoyed this fellas! Great stuff, Grant was awesome, and I appreciate all the wrestling chatter. Thanks for yet another entertaining episode!
