Show Notes Chapter Markers

In their first themed episode, Matt and Eric dive into the vicious, cut-throat world of the board game everybody loves or loves to hate: Monopoly. Why do we still play this cautionary tale of capitalism? What or where is the 'Go' in real life? Why does everybody hate on Baltic? What are the differences between St. James' Place and Atlantic Avenues? Not to mention the adaptations: the boys break down the good, the bad, and the ridiculous.  Plus: a Circle-back/Follow-up on a very special Amazon reviewer: Fauntleroy.
