WE. LOVE YOU ALLY 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Will Smith

Thank you for bringing back surprise round I've been missing it since hearing the Grinch got robbed at the Twoyle Tumble!

Alex H.

beardsley gang

Nicole Jordan

I just know Beardsley is gonna be the perfect surprise round guest

Ollie

I didn’t know how badly I wanted this

Totally Offside

Real question. Is the Grinch cute? Like personality aside, he cute?

Declan Konesky

Man Jim Carey sold me on the Sonic movies...as well as this podcast. This adult affirmation about what I totally thought was lame in the 90s gets me so good

shrimpy_senpai

Wooo part of the early crowd crew! 🙌 surprise round is perfect for Beardsley ohhmelora 😂

Evil Grimace

Bah I'm so devastated. I had like a whole page of surprise round scenarios I was ready to submit for the next time you did this. 😭

Nicole Jordan

Ooh are we gonna have a grinch dice box on an IH season?

Sean Boyle

I'm so fucking happy! Suprise Round is my FAVORITE thing they put out! When I heard they were doing it I literally shouted with joy. Never laugh as hard as I do with surprise rounds and I like to spring some of these questions on my friend when he's not expecting it. Always hilarious to see his reason when I get to the involvement of the grieve and he realizes that it's just a stupid question and not somthing important like I tell him it's gonna be. I've been waiting this whole month for this. And it drops while I'm drunk? Nothing could be better. Thanks Naddpod you always give me what I need.

Vee

Omg I was hoping for another surprise round 🤩

Eryn Galen

Laughed too hard and had to ask a friend what she would do in the first scenario. Quote: "Obviously I propel myself towards the surface even more rapidly than intended when I violently shit myself at the sight of the wet Grinch."

Ollie

In Beardsley we trust

Sean Boyle

Bro my ex would have thrown hands with beardsly over their Jim Carey opinion. They literally told me several times that they would have left me for Jim Carey. Literally loved him.

Avery

HARTFORD CT MENTIONED RAHHH 🙏🙏💪🏽

rosebramblewolf

I'm so in on the dream house, I never have people over.

rosebramblewolf

Although honestly, it would smell like shit when you go to the showing, and you would only have the seller's word that it's not like that all the time.

Katie Wilde

At the low end of average episode length (say 45m), a season of Bosch (10 episodes) runs about 7.5hrs. With bathroom breaks etc, a focus date runs roughly 5pm to midnight. Assuming you binge both Friday and Saturday, you could get through all 7 seasons in a month, and therefore probably feel less like you've wasted your life than if you had spread it out.

Grass

I was JUST binging all the surprise rounds and wishing there were more!

Ken

The Bosch one is just me (autistic) showing a potential date my hyperfixation 🤣

Sam Ninegar

Caldwell’s absolute refusal to grapple with these hypotheticals at face value and instead to insist upon 2-3 layers of his own added hypotheticals is always both delightful and maddening to me.

Rafael C

There's no world in which Beardsley, with their insane lucky properties, wouldn't be capable of flying if given the chance.

Devin Tyler

Color me shocked! (I forgot what day it was)

Mike

I regret to inform you all that while listening to them discuss whether there was a “nude grinch” my brain heard “Nude Gingrinch” and now all I can think of is a horrifying mashup of the grinch and Newt Gingrich. Who is nude. Again, sorry.

Timothy Heller

Thanks for that (stupid nude newt Gingrich)

AutoReroll

I think we have all been missing a huge loophole in the dream house situation, in that you can never be surprised by an intruder in your home. As soon as someone breaks in the whole house stinks and you can flee to the panic room.

Mortimer Lunch

In no way shape or form is anyone jumping out that window after Tom’s demise. No way.

Neil Dutton

Wdym? Tom is sort of ok!

Neil Dutton

Waiting for this to be released after D&D Court was un-bear-hell-able.

James (plz make more trinyvale eps)

The scenario about watching Bosch is the most ridiculously unhinged question/discussion I’ve ever heard. Love it. Keep it up!

Tijay Arnie

I don't know why random Bosch (on amazon prime) references on podcasts ALWAYS gets me. Bosch (on amazon prime) is just such a funny pull for me

Tijay Arnie

Also, how long passes between each date?

Adamantium

“Sorry, I was just texting my wife.”

Ben Ramirez

I'm pretty sure if you called the police, alone with a body in the woods, and you blame it on John Cena, the cops say "Well clearly you're crazy and you killed this hiker"

Eva Claire

Ayyy Schenectady mention…one side of my family lives there and if mom was ever like “hey we need to go out to central New York, a family friend just passed away” and it turned out to be the Grinch I’d just be like, “yeah okay this tracks”

David Tatarczuk

I watched all of Bosch while sick and Emily is correct about his name

Jakey Juice

The last one is straight up a tim robbinson bit

Tijay Arnie

My grandfather died on Wednesday, but I never really knew the guy so in my mind, I'm imagining going to his funeral next week and I'm just imagining going to his casket and happening upon the Grinch, and turning to my father, like, "I'm a quarter Grinch and you never told me" all anguished like

Tavitafish

I basically have Emily's dream home. My apartment looks out into a huge wooded area but I'm only a 10-30 minute walk from anything I want

GintokiShids

Unfortunately, I would be seated for Bosch

GintokiShids

But I'm just a slut for detective shows and don't have Prime

Pali Endi

Nude Green Grinch 🥴

Takowowo

Oh for Cena I'm definitely not leaving my car. I drive home and I tell everyone that I helped Cena fix a flat and he gave me a hat as a reward and that's IT. I don't say a word about Cena murdering someone because if he finds out that I blabbed he's coming for me next

Nick Lerche

I know how the short film ends. It cuts to black and you just hear the "doo doo do do doo"s from Steve Miller Bands Fly Like an Eagle that then starts playing over the credits

Kyle Veach

*Brennan voice* in-CREDIBLE

NowWhatComix

I would posit that the scuba grinch learned hand gestures to TRICK people like an angler fish

Emil

What if you tell your friend about John Cena killing someone and they look at you coldly and say, "I thought you said you didn't see him. Did you lie?"

Ninar Nuemah

I think I got it. At the Grinch’s funeral ask people to share pictures of the grinch and tell the story! Further proof that it’s really the Grinch without you being weird about it.

Zeon Liberation

Take it easy there Caldwell “Will Graham” Tanner. Bunch of dogs in the woods.

AlbireoRising

I think these folks don't understand the recovery after a broken leg. Even if it's "set" and "healed a little bit" you still have to do months or years of PT. No thank you.

AlbireoRising

I love the foley of them fighting during these last couple episodes. I feel like it's the opposite of doing a visual bit on an audio medium (though that's also funny) where you're leveraging the constraints of the medium to make a joke. Makes me laugh every time.

vrtx

They said “see you next week” at one point, so probably weekly. But please, posit your own version of this completely made up idea! There are no rules!

Tijay Arnie

I could do Monday to Tuesday, I couldn't do April to June

vrtx

I’m really curious! I like to imagine scenarios, but i never write them down. Hardest part is introducing new characters into the scenarios. Grinch and sonic are too well established.

vrtx

I’m out therefore I’m in.

gandalfsbignaturals

i love surprise round and ally. this is the perfect guest

Gwen Gilpin

Ok, Caldwell and I have the same doggy dream house.

Shane C

Jake’s joking but I’m sure there has been a funeral for the Grinch in Schenectady

Ilana Galpert

love how ally, much like all of their dnd characters, is ready to jump out a window

Kevin Bullpitt

So did I! I could have sworn thats where they were going haha

Parma Jun

This has really just convinced me I need to watch Bosch

Abraham Mendoza

I'm actually really sad they didn't do the one with the black lotus card I feel like because Beardsley is so into Magic the gathering it would be perfect for them to speculate on what to do in that situation

Dr. Eggman

The Bosch thing is like Britta dating Subway in Community

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

The Bosch thing is just a weird social experiment unless you get to their place and they have a Bosch styled triptych depicting the entire cast of characters of Bosch, then I think it's just an innocent hyper fixation on the Boschverse.

Colby Greer

Peter pan is in the public domain, and there is a horror movie version that just came out in January 🤣🤣

KingHalt

These are some fucking TOP TIER questions. I was so pumped to see Suprise Round come back!!

Evan

Given that the Flintstones were introduced to NADDPOD lore last time Ally was on I feel like there's a real chance Bosch is going to come back

Bing

Re:cena, if you have a dashcam, do you keep or delete the footage?

Glue Wilson

doodoo house scenario reminds me of my sister's house in texas where the sewage is directly connected to sprinklers in the yard to be used as manure. and you can clearly smell it. literal doodoo house !

Summer, Autumn Eladrin

Or worse! They grab you by the collar of your shirt and say "My boss, the Undertaker, has been hunting John Cena for years. You need to tell me which way he went right now" and forces you to join their hunt for John Cena

Quantum OFZENTRIX

I just did a Peter pan pantomime and having browsed the o g story he's a real shit so I don't think I'd even want to join that fucker

Kayli

lol definitely schenectady has the vibe that at least one grinch funeral has been held there if not more

Mitchellguy101

That Peter Pan scenario was so fucking funny holy shit

Blue Bee

Inflicting the Grinch on guests is going to be funny literally every time it happens

Charlotte G

Really resonate with “theres never been anything I’ve done entirely without reservation”

Jo Wright

Grinch was robbed #rip

Coral

oh no the grinch 💔

Murph

I listened to all of these eps yesterday and I GOTTA tell you that Surprise Round gripped me by the shoulders with its furry grinchfingers and pulled me out of a really low mood I’ve been in recently. I wish there were like a million more for me to listen to

The Grinch (feral)

I need 100000000000 more episodes of surprise round, like yesterday

Irene

whenever i listen to you guys, I'm just like, "my enemies. my loves."

Moonlit Ghost

My issue with the Peter pan one is if I do fail, I then also have to pay the medical bill for the ambulance and hospital and that right there isn't worth the risk of being able to fly

Snackonomics

So apparently Emily is absolutely correct. Detective Bosch's first name is Hieronymus

Zoe

And he goes by Harry as a nickname lol

Sydney Van Vliet

I want 162681926 more episodes with Beardsley ❤️🙏🏻😭

KSM101

I do hate how much I am down for the 8 dates of Bosch to see what happens

Gavin L.

This ep got wild considering the recent John Cena heel turn, o jeez

Everest

Imagine the Bosch dates but at the end you make someone listen to at least 4 episodes of naddpod- this is dating me- times 4.

hobblelobble

If the grinch comes up to me like that I can only assume I’ve already drowned and this is some kind of spiritual limbo and I’m letting the grinch do whatever he thinks he needs to do

kaylee w

Relistening to this but Beardsley is absolutely the perfect person for surprise round

aiyana graham art

relistening; on the John Cena one I tell my best friend and do whatever they tell me to do

Gabriel

The intro surprised my cat

sarb!

Here in Canada if I take an ambulance to the hospital and have to stay overnight, I don't pay anything. Not sure about England, but might be similar!

Josh Hopkins

Jim Carrey Grinch is the best grinch

Kurgaah

It would be really funny if it smelt fine outside until someone went inside, then you’re screwed. So if you wanna have people over you gotta lock the doors and act like it’s normal.

deranged pigeon

ally’s laugh every time murph finishes a question fucking kills me i love them

Compound27

That's Tinkerbell dude lol

Compound27

I never saw Cena... 🙈

Gavin L.

I walked into my dad’s room and he was watching Bosch, confirming that it is, in fact, a show made for dads. I told him about this hypothetical and he had the most unfortunate answer that, on the 8th date, you would go over, and the first season of Lincoln Lawyer would be queued up. The protagonists are half brothers and they share many of the same characters. I wonder if this changes any of the crew’s opinions. I genuinely think I would still ride it out. I think if I can ride it out, I’ll be allowed to do this behavior too, and I’ll get literal months of dates in a row where I will get undivided attention to the media I like in return for doing it for my partner. Yeah, their special interest is a lil bit weird, but the rest of the date is incredible.
