Short rest on a Thursday??

Mila Janus

Truly perfect timing i just finished the episode 😅

Nick

Thank you daddy Murphy made my day

Kyle Veach

Holy shit, it happened

Tyler Whorff

Emmet Otter's jugband Christmas is mine and my mom's favorite Christmas movie! It would be great for kids or for the mixed bag. I think Caldwell and Emily would really like it

Matthew Cagle

For a hot second I thought Mrs Divit was Longest Tom pulling a Mrs Doubtfire.

Matthew Cagle

Murph is slowly turning into a young Larry David.

Clyve Lagerquist

In the same way I loved all of Murph’s Wheel of Time references, particularly in C1, I love hearing Jake admit Hoddle is derived from EPL player Glen Hoddle (assuming). Looking forward to more of this!

Cody Zimmer

There is a new Freedom Cleric! I don't want to say they stole the idea from WBN... but it's definitely inspired by their Oath of Freedom subclass.

Clever Innuendo

I want to see the Trinyvale version of getting this bastion like the Trinyvale vs Greenteens arc.

diintz

fuck yes the perfect thing to wake up to

j

Predator View Crew?

Fox

This is why the Fish Barons are so powerful and feared- they control the trout-based communication networks!

jackalope503

A Predator inspired one shot would be so sick

Malina G

I can wholeheartedly vouch for emmet otter’s jug band Christmas 😭 as a kid we watched it in music class and I used to be a little hesitant about it and now that I’m an adult I’m like “this movie is a masterpiece”

Malina G

Also fun music fact about emmet otters jug band Christmas- the music composer is Paul Williams who was a big song writer in the 70s!! He won a Grammy and an Oscar for his song in A Star Is Born and then also composed the music for emmet otters jug band Christmas 😭😭 such a varied career

Drew!

Obligatory plug for my city: if anyone is ever in Atlanta, the Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas puppets are here in the Center for Puppetry Arts (alongside Globey from Pee Wee's Playhouse, Big Bird, an early Rolf from the Muppets, some Doozers from Fraggle Rock, and a bunch of puppets from Labyrinth!)

Zodi

I played a shadow priest that was afraid of shadows. Name was ifearshadows

Colton Merrifield

Watched Emmitt otters jug band Christmas for the first time this past year. Super solid. Very sweet

Asteroid

When I was a little kid, i didn’t understand that men could have long hair, so I thought that the Beast transformed into a super buff woman and I was so excited, but then he spoke and I was disappointed. If only Disney was as brave as my toddler mind imagined. Also Emmett Otter bloopers are incredible, highly recommend.

thatedgydrowwarlock

New surprise round: the grinch, sweaty and noticeably parched, comes up to your table outside and asks for a sip of your drink, do you allow him to??

Sam

unfortunate shoutout for Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure, it does rock

jaydon

cant believe the pic isint the prince from beauty and the beast

Scruggzi

The long hair struggle is real. It just gets everywhere. Whenever I send the robot vacuum round it gets so clogged up I need to rescue it with scissors, thus entirely defeating the point of having a robot to vacuum for me.

CommodoreBlue

I need closure on who’s hair was really clogging the drain. My instincts say Murph would have less experience with the concept, and would be less likely to have proper maintenance down. But I think the only way to tell is for someone to sift through the grime to ID the hair

Rachel Marie

Emily - Formal dining etiquette suggests that you use a spoon to get the juice, but, I prefer feigning confidence and making casual eye contact with other diners. Act like a queen that is delighted by the customs of the peasants, and you can eat however you choose. Sip that juice!

austinoxner

Glad Zudrick is finally getting his rest.

Blume

Jake, thanks for mentioning the stronghold rules. I’ve been working on a scifi campaign and a functional base sounds perfect!

Totally Offside

Agreeing to share you drink while quietly dying inside is a real slice of life.

Nick Neverman

Jake is truly already a jaded Tottenham fan, poor guy

Myckeli

My ex's favourite team is also Tottenham and whenever it came up I always used to send him a short clip of it, so now that we're broken up all mentions of Tottenham make me feel kinda melancholy 😅

zoe cosplayed moonshine!

I got taken to see Emmett Otter’s Jug Band Christmas 2 years ago. No one in my family had any real idea what it was and the vibes were so kooky and bizarre. Needless to say I got blitzed off of overpriced concession wine.

zoe cosplayed moonshine!

Tell Emily that I love her but not too much on the prince from Tangled’s facial hair. That is a certified hottie!!

evan aka the super cockler

my personal favourite bit of worldbuilding in skaldova is the sister lakes :) its a really beautiful and sweet thing in skaldovas dark(er) world and it reminds me of me and my own sister!

clerby

murph yelling “that’s different we make out” at emily is so funny

Shez

Can someone remind me which campaign was ruined by the Howard Dean scream? 🤔

Evander Oleander

I feel that Emmet Otter’s jugband Christmas is a movie that can only be watched on VHS, I used to watch it every year but I don’t have a vhs player anymore and I can’t bring myself to stream it it feels wrong.

Steenbeek

Was just about to comment this!! It is needed.

Katherine Crowe

Emmett Otters Jugband Christmas is a favorite in my family! It's one of the movies I make a point to watch every year. It's genuinely sooooo good and the songs are great. And that's not just childhood nostalgia talking - I've shown it to multiple people who never watched it as a kid and it's always been a hit

Logan K

Emmet Otters jugband is a favorite of mine and my mom's around Christmas! The bloopers are great too!

Clever Innuendo

If you like butter and garlic, you like escargot.

Walker Thurman

Love how this episode started with the vibe of like the triplets planning their Tudor mansion and then there were half-eaten corpses

Le Bro

Listening to this while having covid for the first time is wild coincidence

Ryan

Emily I’m sorry to say, I think ABS already exist..I’m pretty sure my car has anti backwash straws in it somewhere.. whenever I turn it on it flashes this ABS light at me.. I’ll have to dig deeper..

Walker Thurman

I hate to be a zoomer but I did have to look up what a Dean Scream is

Walker Thurman

I reacted exactly the same way Murph did when Caldwell brought it up, and then he said he hadn’t even seen it lol

Syf Sloane

Growing up in Canada, the CBC played Emmett otter every year

Walker Thurman

Clerics get kind of pigeonholed into being healers but the spells are SO varied like there’s tons of options and ways to make a cleric that would let you act dynamically when you don’t necessarily need healing. Spiritual Weapon is one of my favorite spells, and it FEELS combat-specific but being able to just conjure a floating weapon is super versatile. I mean still mostly for hitting people but that’s fun.

Char

Literally the only healing spell you need is Healing Word. Everything else is a wasted action.

Zeon Liberation

I cry without fail every time I watch it.

TheGlassBook

Oh my GAHD! You MUST do an Emmett Otter watch! I’m so excited for you! It’s going to delight you! Emily is going to loooooooove the music.

TheGlassBook

And once you have, watched the movie look up the outtakes

Scrumblina Brumblina

Murph, now that you bear the power of long hair, you simply must take responsibility and employ the age old shower ritual of slappin those loose hairs onto the shower wall, then throwin em into the trash afterwards. Voila, no more clogged drain.

Madeline

Guys you can't keep making products my Parma Charm hasn't even come in yet!

Clemming

I need the 2 crews reaction to the riverbottom nightmare band in Emmett Otter

Madison Brown

My family watches Emmet Otter every Christmas. Its such a nice movie. <3

Stefan UrKILL (Figgy)

I used to be icked by the idea of eating snails, but turns out they’re big eats in my culture (🇻🇳). Chewy, bigger than I anticipated. Bet I would’ve enjoyed it more with a different more flavorful sauce.

Matthew Cagle

Fairly sure that's the Anti-lock Braking System.

Andrew

Honestly don’t get how Emily doesn’t understand why Murph is ok with sharing food with her and no one else. You guys are married!

Professor Pratt

Can we comment on the fact Hardwon predator shakes Ol’ Cobb’s hand all the time and he’s never seen the movie?

Professor Pratt

I was always my daughter’s beast until Tangled came into her world.

Jesse Smith

Covid broke murphs brain 😂 people like this dont realize how dirty the world is. If you're sharing a space with someone youre breathing in their lung particles constantly lmao

Bryan Barton

Knightly Prowess Or Nightly prowess?

Guy

Another Atlanta NADDPole, you see the new stop motion exhibit because it was dope?

Professor Pratt

Wasn’t Bev a bit clericish? I know he was a paladin, tomato tomato?

wick

Yeah came to comments about this segment lol

Dre Martinez

Hey so escargot is DEFINITELY NOT supposed to have any grit to it. Awesome with some butter and bread

avery

highlyyyy recommend the tubshroom as a second line of defense for long hair in the shower drain. functional but also just a fun name + shape

Alex Roddy

My family has watched Emmett Otter every Christmas since before I was born! The music is so good- Caldwell you especially would love it being from Tennessee. That mashup of Our World and Brothers at the end makes me emotional to this day- such a great message the movie portrays as well.

Alex Roddy

Also the Riverbottom Nightmare Band goes hard

Sarah

While we're talking about obscure Muppets videos: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs.

Ash X

Fun fact: According to Howard Ashman, they were going to have Belle ask the Prince if he'd mind growing a beard at the end of Beauty and the Beast, but the studio heads nixed it.

Ash X

And he did the music/played the villain in Phantom of the Paradise!

Terry Mickail

Look up the tesla valve for your A.B.S.

Ryan

/s

Sean L Byrne

Listening to this the day after my father’s death, smiling and thinking of the things he used to say that may or may not have made any sense

Dakota Smithson

Yo if you need someone to play wow with Let’s play I’ll tank for you

Hipster

I am so fucking happy we’re back in Skaldova! I love these characters. I love how different they are from one another. They make me laugh so fucking much with how they reaction to literally everything.

Nick Kipouros

Most fun I've ever had was playing in a 1 to 20 campaign 19 levels stars druid and 1 life cleric focusing almost entirely on healing. I find huge healing numbers just as exciting as huge damage numbers, sometimes even more because it gets the rest of the party so hyped

HolyFatFish

You know what's crazy i forgot how good skaldova was

Grass

Predator is one of my favorite movies. It made me understand action movies

Trevor Rogers

I watch emmett otter every christmas with my family, you gotta watch it

Joe S

The Buds being so worried about inheriting the burden of the bastion is so funny.

Scott

His 2004 democratic primary campaign. Granted he was already on his way out, so it really just punctuated his exit.

Scott

Yep, came here to comment similarly. If you're using the cure skills in battle then you're doing it wrong, so they really aren't one note. The C1 crew had much more healing than a single cleric so I don't see it lowering the stakes at all.

rosebramblewolf

The challenge with having a working keep like Bogtu is that you have to know enough about what's going on to be able to notice if your steward is fucking you. You can luck out and get a trustworthy steward but that's not guaranteed, and of course just like any other job they might just be bad at it. And you have to understand what the community and the lands need well enough to be able to make a call when a decision needs to be made—you can't completely leave that up to your workers and your tenant farmers, because they might disagree with each other. I read too many historical novels about the nobility, lol.

Allison Harvey

I'm a millennial and I did too! I'm Canadian tho, so that might be why I missed that bit of American history lol

Allison Harvey

But I can't believe that's the kind of thing that derailed a campaign back then...

Alex S.

I feel like I’ve never had that experience with escargot?

Li I

Lmao i was so sure they were talking about a d&d campaign and was very confused even after googling it 🫣🫣🫣

Ilana Galpert

If you dip your straw in a drink, then put your thumb over the top of the straw, then remove the straw it will hold the liquid inside, no germ sharing necessary

AXWH

BOGTEAU?

Shez

Same but im canadian So it's not even my politics so I don't feel as bad haha

Singular Cat 🐛

If COVID is the concern, it's airborne so Caldwell is right, yelling particulate at each other in an enclosed space is way more likely to get you sick than sharing a sippy

Scott Allen

So psyched for the stormlight reference

Fox

The Triplets are doing Wilds Beyond Witchlight next, supposedly, do bastions make sense in that module? If not maybe they can do a return to Trinyvale arc eventually and get one there. Either way I miss Blavin and hope we see him next time the Triplets are featured!

Saoirse

Screaming crying throwing up please watch Emmett Otter it’s a timeless classic that can be watched whenever! It’s so wind and the willows adjacent I can’t believe none of them have seen it!

Saoirse

RIVERBOTTOM NIGHTMARE BANDDDD!!!!

Davis

At home, my girlfriend and I do “shared bev” where we pretty much exclusively drink from the same cup. We get a lot of strange looks when we forget that we’re in public and still bust out the shared bev

Maiu

I once gave my non-healing party a joke dagger of healing that did 1d4 damage then 1d4 healing and they used it constantly whenever a party member went down

M

The easy fix to the drink problem is what bartenders do for a taste test. You put a clean straw in the drink, cover the top with your finger, pull it out and drink it. It keeps the liquid in the straw. No backwash, no contamination.

Cheese of the Lake

New mixed bag: beauty and the beast 1987 tv show with Ron Perlman and written by George RR Martin it’s actually an underground drama with a lawyer and the beast

Cherry Ruby Jubilee

Hearing that a bastion can have a gambling component to make passive income makes me wonder if the Wurst in Starstruck (D20) was also run with bastion rules. It did function as a home but it also had a self-sustaining economy with the Jib Job workers and casino. I know that Starstruck was mostly SW5e, but it doesn’t seem like having the ship function as a business would be part of that system. I don’t remember if Brennan ever addressed this.

SlainSigny

i could have sworn i was the only one on the world who knew about this!! i actually ran into the voice of Ma Otter in a local bookstore earlier this year i haven’t found anywhere else to share this with haha

jj-scout

I watched Emmitt otters jug band Christmas when I was a kid in the 80s and loved it, I showed it to my kid when they were little and they loved as well. It's really sweet and a little sad, like all good Christmas specials should be

Candy Emberley

My hair is so long it goes past my fingertips but I have never clogged a shower drain in my life... I have no idea what Emily and Murph are doing lol but if you haven't tried a hair trap that protrudes upwards (rather than a flat one or one that dips into the drain hole), in my experience those are much less likely to float up and let hair pass under them I love all the emergent naddpod products, I laughed so much at the development of the anti-backwash straw. Has anyone ever compiled a list of all the products that were brainstormed during short rests?

Trisha Elliott

Caldwell should’ve been on Game Changer longer!!

Evan

Confirmed broth hater Brian Murphy should've recused himself from the conversation regarding his wife's mussel dregs; as a soup expert, I can confirm that Emily was well within her rights to enjoy the white wine broth. In fact, *not* doing so would be a waste of the liquor (juices) of the mussel which emerge during the steaming process. To quote the great cook Howard Mitcham on the subject of clam liquor: "it is ambrosia, fit for the gods themselves". He even recommends serving steamed clams with a mug of their broth, which I can confirm is delicious.

eme

EMMIT OTTER JUG BAND CHRISTMAS MENTION!!! yall gotta watch it for mixed bag it’ll be the longest 40 minutes of your life (said with love). the bloopers are actually the funniest bits ever tho

Clyffe

This was hard to eat lunch to

Alice W

Speaking of Emmet Otter, a great Muppet holiday special with real mixed bag energy is The Christmas Toy. Not as good as Emmet Otter imo but much weirder, just really bizarre. Picture Toy Story but it’s Christmas and if humans see the toys they basically die

Wesley Ratliff

EMMET OTTERS JUGBAND CHRISTMAS MENTIONED

Millerberry

Yes! I came to the comments to defend against the cleric slander

Abraham

EMMET OTTERS JUGBAND CHRISTMAS MENTIONED!!!

Jang Lim

This season's gonna be stressful for Jake. They might be fighting to save from relegation 'til the end.

nina ッ

okay IDK where to put this but i had a dream last night of yall doing a segment where you do an “advice” column where you give “advice” as the different characters— like frankie, moonshine, adam etc

Rick

Emily, yall meelntioned an all wizard party recently. You NEED to listen to BomBARDed. Its an all Bard multiclass campaign where they roll to improvise a song every episode and solve music theory puzzles.

Aidan Bee

The guy who played Dunk in Knight of the 7 Kingdoms would be a great live action human prince

Nick Neverman

Absolutely, 17th back to back seasons and 20th before the international break now, not an ideal start

Smiththebat

Nawww slurp that broth, gurl! It’s just shellfish broth at the end and it’s liquid gold, babbyyyyy! I’ll fight my wife to drink that shit!

Lindsay Blake

Yall longhairs need a tub shroom!!!

Shane Kelly

Oi! #1 cleric defender you dont actually have to do much healing as cleric. All you need is healing word and revivify. Maybe prayer of healing. Theres so much creativity in clerics, spiritual weapon or guardian of faith. Also forge and twilight domain rock

Andrea

quick sidebar but it's the best, I went on field trips there as a kid.

Tucker Collins

I have two t shirts for emmet otters jugband Christmas (styles like the ramones, and black flag)

Binwig

Please never talk about balls of hair again

aiyana graham art

i really appreciate murph's covid consciousness cause everyone else acts like it just doesnt exist anymore

mennis

genuinely agree, it’s so wholesome and sweet and it’s exactly up their alley. my partner and i found it for free on tubi last winter and i knew it was going to be a season classic

Compound27

I'm with Caldwell i thought they meant cats too lol I had to Google dean scream and oh boy

Galen Reifsnider

Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas is a must watch during the holidays! It's the best, it's so cute and wholesome.

Claire

I think Emily would have fun being a twilight domain Cleric

Natalie Bland

It’s not Disney, but that complaint about “beast is always the beast again” reminded me of The Swan Princess sequels so hard.

Kaidan C

Im kinda baffled by “there’s a bunch of ways to swing a sword, only one way to heal” Objectively not true. There are more ways to heal than there are to attack (ie you roll a D20 for your sword… the end) But beyond that: cleric actually has perhaps the most customization of any class, they are way more than just healers Oops all clerics would go hard

Kaidan C

I’m just barely a millennial, Canadian, and I did know about that It’s like a huge meme, guys

Gary Marsden

Laughed out loud at the relatability of Murph describing his reaction to being asked for a sip of his drink

Summer Tribe

why are they pretending they don't know how troll regen works

Sami Kerwin

honestly, im currently getting over covid right now, and all i can think about it a couple days before sharing sips from cocktails with a friend (who did NOT have covid, nor was i symptomatic yet) and thinking oh god what if i had given my friend covid from our cheeky little cocktail shares 😭 im with murph on this one, tho similarly my husband and i share a LOT

Quintessant

What are they referencing at 16:50 with the "dean scream"? I know the kid commander in the episode but i dont get murph saying it ruined a camlaign or the hollywood access reference. Im guessing a dungeon court I missed?

Elderbax

Gütersloh mentioned, holy crap that was unexpected! I live in Berlin but close enough. Wen Gütersloh live concert?

jackrabbit

someone should tell caldwell about pym the shower cat

Chrim

I only know about it because of my baby boomer parents, that and the Dukakis tank photo op.

brooke parker

now I never comment in my many years as a fan but you better put some respect on emmet otter, you would absolutely love it — mixed bag?!
