So here for this on a Friday afternoon (Australia)

kosmic

same

Kork Horf

I’m only here so Murph knows he’s not the only one up late

Holden Spencer

Visiting fam in the central time zone means I’m for once up late enough to catch the ep drop!!

Hashtaggles

I work nights and every Thursday I feverishly refresh Patreon in hopes they get posted late for Jake but early for me.

Geeksforlunch

Best part of working 3rd shift is Thursday night!

frogwithhumanhands

I'm just starting the episode and i'm pretty sure the grinch is gonna show up

Hamerin

"May or may not feature the Grinch." So it definitely has the Grinch

IMRYAN

Yuuuur

Ethan Buhain

Very fun but more 8bit book club please

Ryan Simeoli

New to Patreon, super happy this comes out so early

Moonhead

Eagerly awaiting the Grinchening once again

Moonhead

Pondering how i could casually work "Hell it could be the Grinch himself." Into my daily vernacular

BeanCurdHero

This is truly my favorite episode format you guys do outside of the actual plays. Just my exact kind of humor. A+ all arround

Lia

Caldwell turning the funeral heist into the movie "Now You See Me"

Jack Francis West

Caldwell referencing Chappell Roan at Grinchella was so crazy

MitchySlaps

Sports betting? Nah. The lotto. Learn the numbers and then hit the jackpot. Really only need to do it once

iamnotjackblack

Yall gotta watch morbius as a mix bag now

CanibalisticPenny

universal only has the movie rights to the hulk and i believe namor the submariner solo, that's why there hasn't been a hulk solo movie since 2008. Disney can only use those characters in team up movies or tv shows

anniemurphs

Can the Grinch Klump? Probably not. But he CAN Grump.

Mitch M

I think surprise round is fun but not for as often as they’ve done it. Bring back tortle tank!!

Thomas Hegarty

Just take the crash deal and use it immediately to make money until you’re comfortable and then you can sit on it.

Adam Kepper

You can't buy a ticket 1 hour before draw

Adam Kepper

Murph is back hating films. Typical

MitchySlaps

To the casino then! Caught me on a technicality 😂

MitchySlaps

I would then say sports betting with insane parlays then because you’d have to make the bets mid-game if you only get an hour. So you could do a parlay for let’s say, first basket made by xyz player for 10 different games and be set

Frank

Caldwell mentioning immersion 5 mins in… someone’s seen Jenny Nicholson’s new vid 🫡

Ollie

The mime one is like a short horror story to me 😭😭😭

Xacris

For the Crash Bandicoot one, I definitely spend my first time rewind to go back after he beats my ass and lay a bunch of traps, arm myself with weapons, etc. I refuse to fight fair and I will get rid of Crash

Hannah

speaking from experience (I'm an archaeologist I SWEAR) Murph is totally underestimating the time it would take for one person to manually re-dig a grave enough to steal something out if it to then re-bury it

Samuel Ryan

I’m a Murph. I’m a loomer.

Samuel Ryan

Gotta factor into the Crash scenario that, at some point, you’re gonna be a 95 year old who is gonna be getting your ass beat by Crash Bandicoot and has zero purpose for an hour rewind.

Steve Baer

A scenario no one thought about ifs what if you rewind time to save a loved one and that's the time crash appears

Shane C

This series has desensitized me to the Grinch because I would trust them with my life by this point

Shan

Aw, I miss the reality tv sound editing

Mynne Maxine

Can't believe Murph likes the silver surfer. The guy who fights a cloud. Can't wait to @ him

Amanda O'Brien

The thought of Caldwell being scolded by Chappell Roan

Jacob B.

Im gonna just posit some of the phrases that popped into my mind while listening: Grinchella, Grinchell Roan, Green Pony Club (grinch-coded), Brian Murgrinch, Grinchily Axford, Grinchwell Tanner, Jake Hurgrinch. Happy pride month I hope no one reads this stream of thought I just had to eject it somewhere.

ACK

Can't believe nobody asked if Crash would use his spin to beat you up.

Mynne Maxine

After you win in roulette crash is gonna beat your ass and do the spin move and your chips are going to go everywhere

Thomas Hegarty

Haha who says anything about roulette? I’m just gonna hit the lotto 2/3 times and chill

Thomas Hegarty

At that point he’s probably just hitting you once. Murph said it’s not hospital visit worthy

Shel B Kennas fav SG wishing you a happy Bog-oween

I cant believe the absolute ride they went on with my question--from emily's soft hearted sweetness about bowie all the way to "im hiring a private investigator" and Jakes "Gary doesnt come inside the house, I just close the door" LMAO Thanks for picking my question, Jake!!

Mynne Maxine

🤣 that's the way to do it. Definitely worth it

Mayor of Clown Town

Would you say that to truly beat the mime, you’d have to get him to…say uncle?

Liu

Chapel Roan mention gagged me Caldwell I was not familiar with your game

Alec Posta

Caldwell name dropping both Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter tells me that he too, is a 30 something who probably watches too much TikTok to try and stay hip and relevant, lol

Shel B Kennas fav SG wishing you a happy Bog-oween

i mean this is kinda rude, is it not? Plus Chappell and Sabrina are in the top ten hot songs + headlining major venues. You'd have to be intentionally edge lord avoiding media right now to not know their names.

Alec Posta

Lol, idk. Not trying to be rude. Just saying that I personally get a lot of videos about the two of them on TikTok, and it's the main reason I know who they are as someone whose getting too old to really know what's the hot new shit

thatoneguy

I already grew up with siblings so getting a ass kicking once a year is just a lighter version of my childhood. I'd use the first year to set myself up for life via gambling and then every year after that I just take a beating from Crash for the chance to save people. Edit: Oh and why remove the dramatic music from the question segment? It was fun :(

DisimpressedHippo

So weird hearing Uncle Craig be a dick, as I am an Uncle, and my name is Craig. Uncle Craig, not the asshole one, says you can take that card for sure.

Samuel

100% steal Uncle Craig's card. I asked a coworker the Crash/Time Power conundrum his response was "I use the time rewind to blast Crash Bandicoot" I said, "Every year?" He said, "Yup."

Autumnis_Prime

lmao i totally squealed in delight at the chappell roan name drop - as a fellow 30 something maybe he’s not “trying to be hip and relevant” - just stuck in a good ol’ fashion adhd social media scroll lol

Courtney F.

Had no idea about either of those names, do not use TikTok. I'm just a 30 something edge lord intentionally avoiding media, I guess? 😂😂

Courtney F.

I feel like going back an hour is cool and all... But you can't really guarantee the same thing will happen. Like, maybe you get the lotto numbers and go back an hour and then the numbers are different. Or you go back an hour and the game you bet on goes differently. I don't know, still trying to think of a gambling scenario with guaranteed return. 🤣

Meapyboy1234567

Oh that took me like 6 times rereading it to get what you were trying to say. You don’t have subscribe on the higher tiers. That’s just if you want to support them more. That’s my opinion though.

Aidan Boyle

Universal has the theme park rights to Marvel, but they can't update it to include anything past the time that the deal was made so the Marvel area is permanently stuck in the aestheic of the late 90s

virginia

*immediately* googled elf with a 10 page backstory and bought that shit. We love an edgelord, we love a 1-page TRRPG. I can't wait to play it!

Heckin Good

They have literally thousands of hours of content that you could listen to while you wait. Or you could listen to one of a thousand other shows that have a ton of free content available online? Or maybe you could try being less whiny and pathetic?

virginia

I hadn't considered this. When you're sold, Crash is going to look like such a dick 😂

virginia

Absolutely. I had to dig a hole once that was less than 1/4 the size of a grave (concrete footings for a porch, nothing weird) and it took so long that I think I tricked someone else into finishing it.

J.I.

A literal bonus episode on top of every weekly ep at the lowest tier, please don't speak for the fans and stand by your own whiny opinion.

rosebramblewolf

I have accumulated so many of these for times when the whole group can't make D&D, but yet people always seem to prefer to just not meet up for some reason

Magestain

Elephants have also been seen recognizing the phases of the moon!

Matty H

I cannot wait for crash bandicoot to absolutely womp me at my wedding

Just_Another_Joseph

Maybe you should use your hour time reset to let Crash Bandicoot kick your ass again. TELL HIM THIS IS WHY YOU WANTED THE POWER IN THE FIRST PLACE. He will probably think it is a sex thing and will feel so uncomfortable that he won’t beat your ass anymore.

squalor and splendor

A group of elephants is either a herd, a memory, or a parade

Moonhead

I think maybe it could be a complimentary thing. Like you see someone do something impressive and go like "Damn look at Johnny over there. Hell could be the Grinch himself."

Colby Greer

CALDWELL!!!! PHANTOM MENACE ONE-SHOT WHERE EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY THE SAME EXCEPT QUI-GIN AND OBI-WAN ARE THE TRIPLETS PLEASE!!!!!!

Adam D

Totally take the crash curse, maybe get a gun and just gun him down in the woods when he inevitably comes. Maybe hang out outside a police station, so they get involved and can't help but take him out because he won't stop until I'm womped.

Bugbear

Chappel Roan mentioned

Noah Mccullough

A tiktok news show of murph going around asking people on the street surprise round questions would go crazy

Rageboots

Nah no matter what you do, you still get your ass kicked. You can’t get around that restriction at all

VinylVamp

Came here to say this

Jack Campau

Wait so is my dickhead Uncle Craig Post Malone?? That's wild, he seemed like such a nice man. :(

Michael Glander

Glad to hear you love the coin, even happier to hear i managed to find a way annoy Murph haha

Hashtaggles

I’ve started my constant refresh

robouiop

my mom is a funeral director and she wants you to know that's now how caskets work. caskets are usually stored in vaults, which are heavy as hell and need machinery to be lifted up. furthermore, most caskets need keys to open them up. you could potentially open the vault and casket with tools, but that would be more premeditated. the best bet would be to steal the card at the open casket rather than at the graveyard

Jesse De La Rosa

You can use the 1hr rewind to rewind it after. Crash kicks your ass then rewind and set a trap for him then off him!

rbx

just wanted to say thanks for the crash/time travel hypothetical, posing it saved a family dinner

Nikolaus Cox

Little mammoths existed, they were the last woolly mammoths, and lived on Wrangle Island, north of Siberia. They were waddling around till about 2,000 BCE, so feasibly Minoans, Mycenaeans, Assyrians, New Kingdom Egyptians, and Shang Dynasty Chinese could all have faced a similar predicament, if only they were actively trading with the Chukchi people of Siberia.

Emz

Install a pet cam and spy on that green weirdo. Tbh, I genuinely think that my cats would like the grinch

Mark

And you get your ass kicked twice

Summer Tribe

I cannot fucking believe that Emily called Grinch vs Thor specifically. happened in '92, they called him Groonk also Murph, you're a coward for not sticking to your guns. the sony films fucking suck

Summer Tribe

if that's your only exposure to SS, that's on you

Murph

me, to Chappell Roan: look at my mime wounds!!!

aiyana graham art

the black lotus thing to me is not about whether or not i graverob, its can I get over the anxiety of being caught. for $800k I have no moral problem disrespecting this piece of shit, but I think i might be too anxious about thinking i would get caught. grinch being rude to you with free first class is fine if I can be guaranteed he won't give me COVID by being nasty. I would probably buy my own drinks before the flight because even if he wouldn't give me COVID by doing that I would still find it nasty. I could eat around it in food and honestly I don't find hair that gross and usually you can just remove it (much harder to do with drinks). plus im disabled and being able to lay down on a long flight would reduce the chances of needing to spend the full first day recovering from sitting for 13 hours cause I didnt wanna be near the grinch

LS

The punishment for the hour rewind is already that you can only use it once a year. Thats unfair

Invader Jimm

I would take the Hour Rewind, but it would probably ruin my life lol

Erik Walden

Take the rewind, make your millions early on and then save it for the coming years to save a life

Samuel Gray

Professor psychotic emerged from Caldwell at 27:40

Hipster

As someone who tries to sleep 90% of a flight because I get intense brain fog while on planes, I will gladly take on the grinch first-class if it means I can lay down completely. Noise canceling headphones for the win!

kalihahaha

Caldwell was absolutely on fire this ep

kalihahaha

I would happily listen to 8-Bit Book Club (With Special Guest) argue their way through every Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-type book they can get their hands on

CommodoreBlue

This Surprise Round, where Emily says she would devote her life to Crash Bandicoot if he was a mysterious force that would kick her ass once a year, was the framework for Vesper Childers’s fascination with Bigfoot

Compound27

Grinch on a plane definitely do it. I feel like I've already had flight attendants act like this lol

Summer Tribe

Yeah it's like they're hugely famous or something

Summer Tribe

Him having very clearly referenced smiling friends again since is really funny to me

Logan Carpenter

Crash hack: Get beat up by crash. Rewind time to before this moment happens. Get the jump on Crash, now that you know how this asskicking plays out assert dominance and put up an actual fight maybe land a hit or two. Now you’ve regained some dignity. The asskicking will continue in perpetuity but at least you’re coming out of it with some modicum of grace.

jamie

MADAME WEB MENTION🔥🔥🔥

Charlie

1st class trumps all drawbacks
