We Scrubs meant to talk about more than just this one recent Disney Star Wars series, but somehow we talked about other things and then got stuck on Boba Fett for way too long.

With the excitement of the Scrubdown past and no guests to entertain us, the Scrubs have to re-remmeber how to make content. Hang on til the end if you want food talk! Before that, Matt shares the 2.5 tournament he actually enjoyed playing in, and Outer Rim is a definitively better game now.

Several members of the interim council of 2.0 X-Wing are on the cast to explain their mission to keep everyone in the game, regardless of which edition they prefer to play. You can find the X-Wing Legacy squadbuilder at https://xwing-legacy.com/ and here is an invite link to the Legacy 2.0 discord: https://discord.gg/rU5agW6W5u
The champion (Tommy Adams) and runner up (Doug Howe) of the possibly-inaugural Midwest Scrubdown join the cast to cover the tournament.
Congratulations to the randomly drawn winner of the April Fitwest Scrub prize of dubious value! He joins us in this episode to talk about pushups and ARC-170s.
The Scrubs recount their first X-Wing adventure with the whole cast since The Changes, and then eventually get to what they really care about this week, a recently discovered board game.
Turns out, brains are really weird. And the Midwest Scrub Himself has a more different brain than most of us! Dan shares how his SDAM does (and doesn't) affect the game of X-Wing and the game of life.
Matt reports back from the first big 2.5 event, and we discuss details for the Scrubdown and for the Fitwest Scrub April Challenge! Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/92WJYpz

Since we won't be recording over the holidays, the Scrubs are happy to instead present this extra episode, featuring Italy's Filippo Bosi discussing (in between our many tangents) the SW Chain initiative. You can see one version of his press release post explaining the highlights here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/flybetter/permalink/3222569077975599/ . Keep your eyes open for developments on this very exciting effort!...

The infamous Bruno LaVigueur is here to give us a French Canadian perspective on the X-Wing world. Who is Joann, and how badly can some scrubs butcher the French language?

The Scrubs welcome Johnn with 2 Ns, the winner of our Fitwest Scrub October drawing! We had some things to say about X-Wing, some things to say about vegetables...and our eyes have been opened to the power of interns. Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/92WJYpz
We tried to at least have fun with the bread that surrounds the the inevitable sour lunchmeat inside this episode sandwich.

Get ready for an enthusiastic endorsement of Aces High with Wings, and an in-depth analysis of why Dan's Guri angst may finally be at an end (at least until the points change).

The Scrubs welcome back Nick Sperry from 312 Squadron to help us do some complaining about power creep. Join us as we try to narrow down where we think lines are being crossed in the inevitable forward progression of X-Wing.

The Scrubs are high on in-person X-Wing, and also lacking a gunner and a clear agenda. This is a recipe for perhaps the longest, most detour-filled intro yet. Also, Dan is having existential Guri angst again.
Clint has some perhaps controversial opinions about how official TTS should be, and what the definition of casual play is, and the scrubs decide to hash it all out.

It's an all-female crew in the party bus today, talking about what it's like to be among the few female players in X-Wing, and speculating on some of the reasons why there might be so few of them. Content Warning: While we normally try to keep our episodes relatively free of adult language, there are a few more adult words and topics than normal in this one.
Join us as we catch up with our friend Nick Sperry of 312 Squadron! We learn how to build an E-Wing the right way and what it's like to have positive associations with First Edition.

Don't worry, our less math-enthused co-hosts will assure you this is still pretty entertaining for a math episode... Emily has been thinking about doing math on the base stats of ships again, and it yielded some numbers-based thoughts on what ships are a "good buy" for survivability and which are not so much.

This week our non-Matt special guest is Fitwest April Challenge drawing winner Goose (Or Drew)! Somehow, we even managed to get everyone's audio in the episode. Woo! This is our first time chatting with a guest who didn't know X-Wing before COVID, which led to some interesting conversations that you'll find somewhere in between all the jokes about kicking avian wildlife. Enjoy!
This week it's the exciting announcement of the winner of the Fitwest Scrub April Challenge drawing! Followed by a discussion of the lately-much-more-fashionable category of talents: Faction talents. Timestamps: [00:01:30] Fitwest April Challenge | [00:11:30] Faction Talents
