Ahh!

Hammy

Who would have thought that the “take him to the grinch” running joke from that one Naddpod episode nearly 6 years ago would lead to this?

Zia

What's that bear saying; if it's brown like down, if it's black fight back, if it's green, TAKE THE SHOT

Kellyd

"It's kind of like Click with Adam Sandler but it's shit with us"

Katie P.

I watched What Lies Beneath at the tender age of 7 and since then thought any lake had an angry and hot ghost living in it

thatoneguy

Nah, I like the Decemberist too much to fall for that lake shit. That Grinch is a Rusalka.

Spillvia

I wouldn't endure a pure Grinch episode, I would devour it.

Mr. Serpentarius

Can someone please defend the Grinch questions to me. I'm starting to not want to listen to these episodes. They are becoming annoying. It feels like someone is writing and wants to feel special so they add the Grinch so maybe they will read it on the podcast. Like I've heard the word so many times it feels like it's not even a word anymore. I think 1 per batch of episodes is my limit now.

Neil Dutton

My butt is seized in anticipation.

Jessica

I love you naddpod I love you Mr Grinch

Courtney F.

It's not the Grinch himself (or, hell, maybe it is...) it's the idea of the Grinch.

Courtney F.

I don't know what I liked more: the use of the phrase "diaped up" and variations thereof or Murph defending shitting himself as an adult in his home in such a way that made me believe I, too, may one day shit myself as an adult in my home.

Moonhead

I resent Murph referring to him and the crew as "the lowest rung tier D&D celebrities". Yall are of the upper utmost echelon. Truly legends and icons of the space. Give yourselves some credit sweeties.

rosebramblewolf

I've done it, but as a side effect of cancer treatment. Do not recommend.

Moonhead

I mean it's just an inside joke atp. The whole crew enjoys it and most listeners seem to find it funny. Idk what to tell you. Just try to dissattach from the Grinch part and focus on the rest of the question/scenario ig

The Wizard Stream

The Click-Shit connection is ridiculous yet accurate

Alex H.

half the grinch prompts are written by murph

Cal

The "I hope the grinch kills my friend first" by Jake, followed by an absolutely bewildered "WHAT?!" by Murph, was absolutely perfect.

cx

I feel like the lake swimming grinch question actually answered the “how many bodies in the water before you don’t swim” question from a few eps ago for all of them and it’s WAY higher than previously estimated

Kas

Murph as much as Philly embraced, nay, celebrated you when y’all had your last live show here, it’s truly a bummer to hear that you’d even theoretically be a Mets fan 😂

John Cooper

You could absolutely get some Phillies fans to stomp out Mr. Met and his goons while you head for the tunnels

Adam!!!!!

amazing episode, but i can't believe caldwell doesn't know what an forest bike is

poppy marten

there actually are Forest ebikes (yes, like Lime scooters!) in london 😂 it’s the one i use the most 🚴🏻‍♀️

Shane C

“A few weeks before the game, the Mets announced that a new Mrs. Met mascot would meet with fans and appear during the All-Star Game festivities. A senior Mets official reported that Mrs. Met had been ‘working as an event planner and was ready to return to full-time work now that her children are grown.’” The Mrs. Met lore is wild, but I’m so confused why her job was an “event planner” wasn’t considered full-time work.

Shane C

“Her first name is Jan.” I’m so interested in her. Screw the Grinch campaign, I want a Mr. and Mrs. Met campaign.

Extra Crispy

Crash Bandicoot being a violent psychopath obsessed with destroying our lives is one of my favorite nonsense bits of this whole show 😂

Proopypants

Yipppeeee more of my 4 favourite lil weirdos

joel

Emily, enthusiastically: "This has made baseball interesting to me!" Murph, unconvincingly: "...-y-yeah."

Benseanjamin

Second scenario with the Grinch in the lake immediately makes me think of kangaroos waiting in the water to grab ya and pull you under. Consider: the Marsupial Grinch

ACK

I'm really sorry to tell you this, but Crash's sister Coco definitely knows how to use the dark web. & he 100% can't use any device not started by a single button, she's the mastermind.

Cosmopunk

Ok I think I'm reaching Grinch Burnout.

Sam

Hell, I’d love to have more grinch

Tyler

I’m a bit confused, what did Caldwell not understand about the forest bike? It’s a forest bike which is actually a type of bike that is for the forest kind of similar to a forest bike.

Jeff Miller

Re: Pathfinder I know this has nothing to do Surprise Round - fantastic ep, btw - but I'm playing catchup on the pod and I am hopeful this will get seen by the Two Crew. Pathfinder is going to be *very* difficult to do theater of the mind. You may be able to get around it by using something like Demiplane. With it, and similar platforms, you can add conditions to characters to help track buffs and debuffs. The biggest thing you'll need to overcome is how important positioning is to make the battle system function as intended. I'd love to see you guys take a more committed crack at it as it is the best system for tactical play and creating deep, interesting characters.

Thom Scullion

An underrated moment in this ep. is when Murph describes the Grinch mask falling off after they've shot it with the arrow and it's Murph underneath the mask - I am still laughing imagining it!

Osha

agreed. I think it's possible to have it fit the podcast format if they just have a rudimentary setup with a few squares and beads or something simple on a computer. this would help them make the most of the format without it really needing to be seen by the audience. I also agree that more pathfinder would be amazing.

Jeff Miller

The real thing to do is use Foundry VTT. The one thing I am unsure of is how clunky it would be to use IRL dice.

squalor and splendor

As a hardcore foundry user I recommend foundry as it automates just about everything

Hammy

Buckle up, Christmas is coming

Vizier

They toyed with the idea of pathfinder a long time ago. Especially when there was talk about folk abandoning 5e

Vizier

Overall, theater of the mind still works perfectly find with p2e. Murph has conveyed much larger scale battles fairly well. Especially in fhe last 2 or 3 episodes of the current campaign.

OldStump

His girlfriend is roughly normal human intelligence Coco is a genius His little brother crunch is roughly around a 13 year old But I can’t find crash’s canon intelligence.

OldStump

Definitely the highest quality long running campaigns. Even the first half of CR is completely unlistenable to many people i introduced it to. But they dig in to naddpod like a grinch to water.

OldStump

Try to avoid addiction. It really ups the odds. Coke shits are a real thing.

OldStump

If you can’t handle me at my grinch, you don’t deserve me at my sonic.

OldStump

His whole shtick is ruining a humans life.

OldStump

We hebben een serieus probleem And you’re laughing?

Axel Ottel

That is really good. Swedish just went with Magica de Hex.

ACK

I'm going off what we see in the cutscenes/idle animations. He seems very in the moment.

Xavier Kadrmas

Crash has to have a passport because he took a direct flight from Paris to Albuquerque

Robert

It adds to the show to think that every “man in a Grinch costume, so realistic, hell, it might even be the Grinch himself” is actually Murph.

Cooper Erikson

Shitting your self in the airport but not having to deal with actually flying would 100% be worth it. Flying post covid pretty much feels like shitting your self in the airport as is.

Cooper Erikson

Also you gotta make sure you show up in the delta club lobby so you have alot fewer people watching.

xatlern

Nightcrawler is definitely a tiefling 👀

Gabrielle

I’m interested in hearing future surprise round scenarios written by Emily, Caldwell, and Jake :P

Jette Nielsen

I love that the witch from duckburg (apparently she's Italian?!) has so many different names in different languages. I grew up with her Danish name which is Hexia De Trick and I love it

Keith Kelly

If I remember correctly: Magica wanted Scrooge's #1 Dime because she believed it had magical properties (it was "lucky") that she could use to fuel her magic to take over the world (or something to that effect).

Cooper Erikson

It's 2am and I just realized what the bag for the saul plush is out of the corner of my eye. Fuck you I love you for that.

Cooper Erikson

P.S. if Jake is really afraid of puppets idk how he approved this.

Tonks

Could you just buy your tickets on the toilet so you don’t have cleanup?

Hannah S

now i need a drawing of the grinch as kratos

Victor T (Balnor's Boy)

You guys really should do an 8-bit book club about the terrible horror movie version of the Grinch called "The Mean One". This needs to happen.

The Fun Yaunt

The addition of “Your phone has zero bars” makes me laugh every time

Ryan

So I forget what it’s called, but there actually is a horror prank show on Netflix hosted by Gaten Mattarazzo

Stations & Starships

"I don't want to be diaped up and shitting myself just to get to Chicago." Put that on a god damn t-shirt lol

Moonhead

Definitely can see why that would be the case. As far as CR, especially in the beginning it can be a bit more drawn out and drama forward until they really really find that groove of being on the podcast and sort of refine their pacing so that down moments don't seem to drag as long, it also has the disadvantage of being generally much longer and way less produced with almost none if not no cuts at all I believe, where as Naddpod is very finely polished, well produced, cut down, and excellently paced from the jump.

Katie Wilde

... does... Channing Tatum have neck tattoos?

Katie Wilde

Shadow the... Edgehog *tips fedora*

Zeon Liberation

I think the implication of the Mrs and Mr Met question was that they are not humans in mascot costumes but real beings with baseball heads. Hence the baseball stitching on your uncle’s face.

Austin Wiggin

Dang just looked up Mrs Met and I gotta say Unc still got it

Olivia

oh if they think that Mrs. met is hot then they’ve gotta see Rosie Red

Iwantweeklyreleases

“Let’s not look in to it!” 👀👀👀👀 lol I love it

zach stewart

Those of us with IBS are like 🤷 guess I don't have to go on flights anymore

Jackson Roth

It's like a forest bike Caldwell, jeez

Susannah Perkins

I'm so sad no one used the phrase "designated shitter"

Beano Nintendo

Damn. If only I waited to make my plane seating chart meme until after this episode. Adding Mrs. Met into the mix would've provided some much needed female representation

Beano Nintendo

I think a big part of Mrs. Mets' appeal is that the person in the costume is (respectfully) "caked up." It's not that easy to tell with Rosie Red but I do like her vibes. She sort of reminds me of Pauline from the Mario series.

Beano Nintendo

Crash definitely has a passport. He's an Australian animal. How else would he have gotten to America?

Belgaer

We’re watching an old Dimension 20, and I commented “this is pure Emily insanity. I love it!” pause “Emsanity?” …the edible may be making me think that’s funnier than it is. 🙃

Josh Stadtmiller

Murph's little background "hold for applause" while everyone talks over him couldn't have been more perfect

Ryan Bessette

I think you're in the minority here. 💚#GrinchHead

Hammy

You’re a hero for this, frankly

Courtney F.

I hope you're doing better now!!

Jake the Accountant

The elephant in the room for the weird psychological torment Punked reboot is it is definitely just Sam Reich pulling off the grinch mask and saying he’s been here the whole time

Cook

Loving the chaotic energy lately. Feels like late trinyvale vibes

martiniimakes

Everyone go look at Mrs Mets ass

gandalfsbignaturals

can u pls specify if the grinch is wearing the santa costume when this stuff is happening 🤔💭

Maya B

It’s “Will you Bury the Grinch” because they *know* everyone’s gonna kill it, it’s just a matter of what they do with the shell…

Maya B

Crash Bandicoot isn’t using any official points of entry that would request a passport. Hell, he probably doesn’t even have a birth certificate anywhere.

Galen Graham, Local Talent

“kids are bad at baseball” when i started baseball in kindergarten, my dad told me i’d get a piece of candy every time i got a kid out in any game. i finished playing after 5th grade. in my 6 years of baseball, i got 0 pieces of candy 😭

Denatonia (Haven)

I've listened to every single ep of this despite not knowing the Grinch or any of his movies (/books?). All my knowledge of him is from this show. Truly wild

Toblerone. jpg

you have a beautiful perspective of this show

mrsthemonarch

Also undiagnosed celiac disease!

phosphomimetic

Just wanna point out that JD Martinez of the NY Mets said “we suck, let’s go suck together” in response to the Mets win the other day so I think he’s honorary Duck Team

Dr. Hollis Rangoon

The final scenario is just the literal plot of Knives Out and no one is saying it!!

Kidtruck91

Grinch stuff is starting to bug me. Maybe one or two an episode. Maybe I'm in the minority.

CSN

The day when you finally experience the original(s) is going to be wild. Normally I would strongly suggest starting with the Dr Seuss book/60s animated movie. Coming from your perspective, going to the Jim Carrey remake first might make more sense since the creepily "realistic" costume is central to everything you know about it.

CSN

How is shitting your pants a remotely worthwhile trade for bypassing plane flights? 1. Noise cancelling headphones, 2. Drugs. Time skipped, pants spotless.

Toblerone. jpg

but everytime i OD on the plane i get kicked off by the air marshal

CSN

Don't OD or UD. Gotta Goldilocks that D.

Dr. Bearkele

Wait... does Emily think that airplanes cause jetlag 😅😅

Dr. Bearkele

It's also beneficial to start with worse versions and go up ;]

Dr. Bearkele

It's also the plot of like half of Agatha Christie's novels and a large number of other books and movies

Kevin but keviner

Donald Duck is the most powerful sorcerer in all of final fantasy lore. No one else is has even attempted a zeta flare

Kevin but keviner

Sorry after more investigation the dragon god Buhamut also cast zettaflare. So they are even

Rob H.

I completely agree! I would not pay this price to travel on an airline schedule. If it were a real teleport at my discretion, with any number of people, absolutely. I'd pay the brown price. But not just to skip sitting on a plane.

Lilli of the bog

Phillies fans would fs hammer Mr. Met. Go phils 🤙

Matthew Flood

I used to fly 60-70 times a year for work, and about 10-15% of those were international flights. I absolutely would've taken the "shit your pants fast travel" option instead of dealing with all of those plane rides

Kidtruck91

Funnily enough in the time since I left this comment, I've cycled back to enjoying the grinch ones again. Almost in a "if you repeat the punchline enough it becomes funny" sorta way.

Jay S

I've been binging these for the first time and last episode it got a Little old, but during the glamping scenario i was doing my best to stifle laughs at work at the first mention of the green suit. Much like the Grinch's heart, the humor of the Grinch bit also grew 3 sizes

Tim G

What about connecting flights? Do you shit your pants for each leg? Or one big shit and your’e at your final destination?

jodiecore

This is old but crash is an accomplished pilot so he would track you across continents unfortunately

FiendishNoodles

I think there's a big question for the shit fast travel; is it actually fast travel, in that you teleport and just had to pay? Cause we use the word "teleport". Or does it just make you unaware/unable to form memories like anesthesia? Because if it's teleporting, the time saved is huge. If it's just being magically unconscious and arriving x hours later, it's probably not worth it.
