ReynSedai

Why was this posted again?

Champ wild

Surprise rounds need to be elevated to the main feed . And maybe request some hypotheticals like with dnd court .

han!!!!

i love the glimpses into murph's nightmares that surprise round hypotheticals always seem to give lol

Katy Howells

But what if.. you are the one who knows the Grinch (as an acquaintance we’ll say) and are invited to the funeral. You go but you don’t wanna go alone, so you bring a friend… do you tell your friend it’s the Grinch’s funeral before going in; yes or no?

Gabriel

Brian 'Piccolo's so freaking rad' Murphy

NowWhatComix

The grinchiverse: Guy fails at their grinch zoo, becomes a pilot, crashes plane and their funeral is held and in it everyone is requested to only refer to them as the grinch

Leif_millelnuie

This last prompt should be used for an I think you dhoukd leave skit

Ro

I’m so curious, was the grinch zoo inspired by Glasgow wonka land because it ABSOLUTELY has that energy….also I’m stuck on the burning tomato level of Mario Odessy- help!

Issac Perez

Wait! Only those pure of heart can use the flying nimbus. If he just did a murder… that DQs him from flying away on nimbus. He would have to fly away on his own.

Franny McCabe-Bennett

Omg 0:10 Caldwell screaming 😂😂 this episode is starting off HIGH ENERGY 🎉

WeedGoku69

i cant believe murph outed my true saiyan heritage

Shawn McNerney

I absolutely love these extras, this is honestly so goddamn funny.

Samantha Demmerle

Keep these hypotheticals comin', Murph (please?). I'm in stitches

Clever Innuendo

I'm more concerned about why Goku needed to go super sayan to kill that dude. What was *his* story?

Cayde

This is my favourite thing you guys post. Oml, the campaign is amazing but these are golden

kin

this all HAS to lead to a mixed bag/one shot based in whoville

Meapyboy1234567

FUCK YEEEAAAAHHH I LOOOOVED THE FIRST ONE.

aiyana graham art

the partial truth for the goku murder is my angle, but that shit has me stressed

SeminoleDVM

Dear gods is this funny 😆

Lauren

Grinch is still seasonal with Easter, he’s pretty Christ-like if you think about it

Wyatt H

Crazy you posted this while I’m in Ireland on my honeymoon

Phoenix Vizva’i

Surprise Round is my favorite, like it even more than a lot of the staple content!! 😋

Carson Moore

this is my favorite mixed bag content, the energy is incredible

Leah S.

Someone frames you, and you have to wear prison pants. You lose the ability to speak all languages and can't defend yourself.

Jenn T

I need the JNCO deal. Every single time I try to learn a new language it joins the same part of my brain where *not English* is stored. Now when I try to communicate in a different language they all blend and it's a mosh of Spanish/Latin/Russian 😭

Matty H

Surprise Round is incredible

Nia R

This is the perfect episode title

Kyle Veach

Fucking love this nonsense 💙

Jenn T

Tragedy

Chris S

Always wished NadPod would visit or discuss more non D&D (or D20) ttrpgs. There are so many more options out there that totally change everything. Seems"mixed bag" would be the proper channel to bring these up.

Takowowo

For the Goku situation I think I need to fully throw up on myself and sit down in the alley like I passed out from being too drunk so I can feign as much ignorance as possible but I can still reasonably say I kind of saw the orange of the Goku cosplayer

caustic-laz

during the ogl debacle they floated the idea of a pf2 campaign/mini series, but I think I was in the vocal minority of people who wanted it lmao

Meghan Breen

"Anatomy of a Dragon Ball" Pure gold from Caldwell. Jimmy Stewart defending Goku. I will absolutely kickstart this

Clockwerk Kaiser

I'd use the "Hercule Satan" method in dealing with the Goku situation. "Clearly the dead guy was a criminal, and I stopped him. I'm the strongest in the world. Oh? You also witnessed goku?! Well, that was just a trick. Smoke and mirrors, see? There is smoke everywhere. Hahaha I'm the best!"

Paint Ninja Workshop

I HAVE to know how the copilot is dressed. Whats his vibe? Grinch me I'm Irish

Casey Kerins

The Rock Lee reference was gold

Ben Helford

Picture, me, living in Malta, working at the US Embassy. Two diplomats see me and talk. "Who's that?" "Best damn Maltese translator we got. Don't know how he's so fluent, but he is indispensable." "Wow, that is pretty impressive." "Sure is." "Why is he wearing JNCOs?" "I have no idea, but I've never seen him wear anything else."

JR Lonergan

Em, I absolutely spoke to fake saints. Mine was Reese from the Terminator 😅😅

Crescent Minor

But Macho Man doesn't know me. He loves the people. He's not telling me to save my life, he's not telling me to save my friends. He's telling me to get the park shut down and thoroughly checked for the thing that would've killed me, so that NO ONE dies! I'm going to call in a bomb threat, not tell them which ride, and say to make safety checks as they go or I hit the button!

The one they call Barlo

Listening to them talk about speaking with fake saints puts me in mind of when I listen to dungeon court

The Overthinker

Everyone answered the Goku question wrong. I’m assuming Goku got sucked into our world by accident and doesn’t know what’s going on. You shout out to Goku as he gets on the flight and offer to shelter him from the consequences. Protect the isakaied murderer in the hopes he’ll teach me.

evanescent

I read some of these hypotheticals (from the first episode as well) to my friend and we had fun, but at one point she was like "why are so many of them grinch related though?" and I didn't know how to begin explaining the naddpod-grinch lore, so I was just like "they have a very personal relationship to the grinch on that podcast", so here's that

Unbaked

The grinch in the casket one would fuck me up cuz like you're telling me my friend knew a grinch and didnt tell me but doesnt want me to pry??? yea sorry buddy but im causing a caldwell level scene

Fergus O'Loan

For the Goku one, I think there is genuinely a part of me that stops to consider: this person is Goku, not Vegeta, or Broly. Goku famously only hurts the bad guys. Maybe that other guy was Cell in disguise, idk? If we're in this world where Goku is real, the implication is the Dragon Ball is a documentary. The presence of the Nimbus means it isn't a random Saiyan, it's legit Goku, I know he's got a good reason for icing someone in an alley.

Elandriel

I’m just about caught up and mayhap it’s been retracted already or at least pointed out. Murph said he’s cool with someone showing up to his funeral dressed as The Grinch. He said that on the internet where surely at least one person is strongly considering it provided they’re aware of Murph’s death (long may he live, or at least how long he may care to.)

Sean Boyle

I've decided I shall listen to all suprise rounda and co.pile a cannon of which French is wich and where each's allegiance lie. This I swear to the Naddpod community. You may hold me to this regardless of the fact that I ms so fu ki g drunk roght now. I will compile a databas3 of the f Grinches no matter hoe.lpng it takes. This I swear. The mysteries of the grinch cannon shall be solved.

Brandon Barnes

I will hold you to this until the day I die, Sean Boyle. The fate of the grinch canon rests solely on your shoulders.

Mubeen Khan

Goku: Go inside, get a staff member to call 911, call a lawyer and SHUT THE FUCK UP. Never, ever, ever talk to the police, always go through a lawyer.

Kal and her cats Portland, Star, and Berlin

Idk if it was this ep or the last one, but I posed the “taught carabeener grinch skydiving” question to my non dnd friend and she had the most unhinged answer. She cuts him loose, no hesitation, no second thoughts, immediate murder. Then she lands and tells everyone HE saved HER and made a noble sacrifice. I asked “so you eulogise him in lies” and she responds “it’s how I’d wanna go”

Kal and her cats Portland, Star, and Berlin

I honestly would take the deal, no problem. I’d use the money I’d make from being the best damn archeological translator to build a bunker style house with an indoor pool that I can fully prevent people from coming/seeing inside so that I could swim JNCO-less. And I already kind of don’t care how I look, and if my friends get married I would just tell them “hey I’d love to be there, but I absolutely gotta wear this specific denim ensamble.” And I don’t go to enough fancy places to warrant concern. Even if I do, it would be such a big swing that the other people would probably be too taken aback to comment on it

Michael P Mendoza

What if you went to the funeral and the Undertaker is there AND the loved one is the Grinch. What do you do then?

Kid Chaos, the pride and torment of the podcast

The problem with jnco jeans is that, as someone who requires regular MRIs, I need to be able to wear something that doesn’t have metal in it, and as someone who already speaks three languages, the prospect of losing six languages total is simply too much

Bryce Peterson

Jake “Cotton Candy is Basically Ketchup” Hurwitz

Elrond Hubbard

Literally listening now and license plate in front of me - GRINCH

Eduardo

Grinch dog idea: Green dyed saurkraut and the rest is completely normal

Sami Kerwin

my fake saint was definitely child Link from Ocarina of Time because he was older than me at the time when i talked to fake saints 🙏🏽

Summer Tribe

I wish they'd go back and edit the audio on these

Joe Howard

This is foul, well done

Kid Chaos, the pride and torment of the podcast

Here’s my thing with the three languages one: you can’t get and MRI in jncos, you can’t give birth in jncos, or have any kind of lower body medical exam in jncos, what if you get in a car crash, your unconscious, your body shattered, and the doctors have to cut you out of your jncos to operate?

Gavin L.

I don’t understand how to explain to people why I laugh at the grinch the way I do. Like, how does one explain this??
