Oh my god, I sincerely want a calendar of Jake just lunging for the camera every month 😭

gittan

deer woman is a vengeful spirit who goes after men that have harmed women/children actually — but it varies by tribe ofc, some people say she’ll hurt anyone who falls for her tricks

gittan

(I know this aired so long ago but I couldn’t resist sharing)

DazWaz

Commenting because I never saw the Jake time calendar. I'd still buy

J. Gro

The name has had a few iterations!

J. Gro

That either of you thought about, let alone were able to, get close enough to a golden eagle to then pet it is absolutely insane!!

J. Gro

You say Mob Goblin, I say Bob Loblaw's Law Blog.

Laura Keiser

Getting drinks with work buds after leaving work early "it's Jake Noon somewhere"

SolemnSeagull

I would buy the calendar, in earnest.

Compound27

"It's not normal, be careful. Okay bye." How strange as a cop to see this then say that and leave lol.

Shane

I'm listening to this EP in 2026 Jake time

avameow

My dog has a freakout pillow. It’s a mini dinosaur pillow pet that she shakes violently and then humps equally violently. If she doesn’t get to play outside enough during the day she takes it to poundtown.

David

Yes

The Plum Satyr

Did he always just say "short rest" and not "the short rest"

Wren

Can't believe we had to wait all weekend and all we got was a night of fun, magic, and aioli! Thanks for the live shows 2 Crew!!

Jake de Medeiros

Did this episode come out late because Jake posted it?

Kendra Waters

I will say that “Jake Time” caused me to have a minor panic moment. I’m a teacher, and I took Friday off because Seattle is a 3.5 hour drive for me. I was freaking out that I needed to take two days off instead of one and had to check my tickets. Typical Jake though 🙄

joel

"The deer unhinged its jaw - and a rainbow came out and touched my heart!" - Emily Axford

Lil’ Stinky

You just Mandela effected me and I had to go back and check the last several! Lol. He has always (at least in recent history) just said “short rest” in the intro. But I think at the end of the actual pod the refer to it as “the short rest” so that’s probably where we got that idea.

Christopher Wagner

I love Jake time. Totally going in my vocab! Jake, your my fav homie

Alessandra

Deer videos whEN !!!!

Emma

when i worked in food service, we always called finger cots ‘finger condoms’

Dippity_Dip

So excited to see what happens to the blue crew next week! Can’t wait for Friday: Jake Time

Anthony Abreu

That is the most insane deer behavior. I've gone on so many hikes in Georgia, Alabama, New York, Oregon, Washington, and New Jersey and not once have I even heard of deer doing anything but eating or running from people on a hike.

Lil’ Stinky

What kind of duck are we thinking this duck is? White with an orange beak like the one in that goose game? Green and gray mallard? Brown female mallard? I gotta know.

Metagamer Shamer

Trevor was using up all the bandwidth in the house on his eBay business selling Jake’s stuff.

Adam Haikal

The first time Murph describes it, it's orange beak and white feathers.

Ilana Galpert

Finger condoms are a thing, actually. They're used in restaurants.

Ted Orbach

The boy wizard gives me major Nigel Planter vibes from Billy and Mandy

Ilana Galpert

Don't worry they exist for when you cut your finger, to apply compression and prevent blood from getting in the food

Ilana Galpert

If anyone knows which torso duck picture emily is thinking about, could you link it?

James Lloyd

I do really want the comics of the Boy Wizard and his Frog pal to be made real! I have really enjoyed that running joke this Campaign.

Rachel From Animorphs

The only reason a deer would follow you is to make sure you don’t get near their children. They would not approach or follow long distance though. This is incredibly not normal and very Disney princess behavior!

Dippity_Dip

As someone who lives in a county absolutely littered with deer, can confirm literally no deer ever walks up to anyone. Emily is just the true wizard boy and the deer is her pal

Vie.

Deer might have had rabies? Sometimes it makes animals much less afraid of people. Absolutely not normal

jackalope503

Big short rest for the merch store! Fingie condoms, Suz/Caldwell's used freak-out body pillow, and a Jake lunging for camera calendar? Take all of my cash pronto

Sahara

Yeah, that deer thing is actually super normal where I'm from. I do live in a faerie realm though, so maybe I'm an outlier???

Declan Konesky

I want to see this video! As avid hikers we have never had this happen. We do bring our dog though

Teddy

I live in a very deer heavy area, and the most likely explanation is that people *have* fed that deer (maybe people who looked like Emily) so it associates certain types of humans with food. It makes for a cool individual experience but don't feed wild animals! It's dangerous for them and for humans if they get too comfortable. My neighbors fed a baby black bear and when it was a couple years old it wound up chasing me back to my house and we had to call animal control to deal with it 😬

The Wizard Skoolie

From now on I will be using exclusively JST( Jake standard time) for all of my affairs. Don't talk to me if you're not on Jake time

Crits

It's possible the deer just recently had a fawn. Sometimes they chase people away from their babies. I feel like Emily probably doesnt have threatening vibes though

Matt Atkinson

I live in Australia and I mean I've been followed by sheep, but then they're known to be followers 😂

Trevor Brown

No Emily, that is not normal.

Trevor Brown

Every time I’ve been chased from fawns it’s been a pretty aggressive affair

The Wizard Skoolie

My proposition for the Jake calendar: Jakenuary, Jakebruary, Jarch, Jakepril, Jay, Jane, Jakely, Jakegust, Jaketember, Jaketober, Jakevember, Jakecember

casey eats pizza

Just wanted to say that I went to the Renaissance Faire and saw so many Bands of Boobs

Nesve Fowl

I would for sure buy a Jake time calendar.

Megan Andros

I would buy the shit out of a "Jake Time" calendar

Liam Harvey

Finger felanges sound like a better name than finger Cots. Kitchen/barstaff i have worked with in the past did call them finger condoms though.

Cain

MURPH! The Power Glove absolutely could move things on the screen just by tilting the glove. It had a controller pad on it for those that didn't want to use the gloves VR mechanic in more difficult sections of games.

thaesimir

I don't know why, but Jarch is the funniest thing I've read on a long time. Say it out loud. It's ridiculous

Erin Paxson

Cute deer story!! I saw a paw paw tonight while I was listening~ Loved seeing y'all in SF day before yesterday jake time! 💛💛💛

Diana

Just popping in to also highly recommend The Venture Bros! The writing gets better and better with each season and they love to dig up throwaway jokes from the first season and give them stakes in the final one. It's good stuff!

THEJordonBrown

This might be my favorite Short Rest ever. Truly rivals hemp milk in tears from laughter.

THEJordonBrown

Also, can we get some deer videos from Emily on the feed?

Bella Poore-Furolo

I saw a pattern for gloveless fingers a while ago I’m going to hunt them down and knit some for the two crew

Cale Clinton

Most underrated part of this Short Rest: Caldwell pulling out an obscure detail from an episode midway through Campaign 1, then following that up with “I can’t remember anyone’s birthday”

Welibwe

I'm ABSOLUTELY loving this season! It's quickly becoming my favorite and I think I know why: Murph has fully given into goofs this season. I mean he's putting so many goofs into his damn planning! It's a beautiful thing to behold. Expert world building, sophisticated plotlines AND goofs?! We got Murph at his best this season and it's clear he's having a lot of fun

Tarren

That deer thing was definitely special but not as unique and wonderful as me!!! And don’t think otherwise

Jamjam

i think this owl bear cave episode was mislabeled

Penny Garbo

In my tribe, deer women are bad omen. They are shape shifting witches who eat the heart and organs from unsuspecting travelers. They are kind of like windegos. That gave me chills. That deer wanted to eat you. Edit. Pretty sure the tribes out west have similar folklore about skinwalkers. Freaking watch out man.

Noah James Perito

“You activate my rose card!” is VERY good Caldwell

Margaret Hughes

They should definitely make a naddpod duck body pillow!

Secret Grandpa

On a hike I've had a mother and her two baby deers approach me for...though I didnt receive any nose boops. I have 6 animals if that helps the research

Nick Spivey

Yes my third day on a job in a kitchen I remember grabbing one when I sliced my finger and trying to hide it lol. They’re goofy looking but work great!

panpolypuff

*Tucker. Unless... is Jill cheating on Tucker with some dude named Trevor???

Hunter Wright

I'm an avid hunter, I'm pretty in-tune with that community, and I have basically spent my entire life in woods... I have NEVER had that happen to me, and I have NEVER heard that happening to someone else. Absolutely remarkable, and anyone that tries to diminish that is talking out their ass lmao. Amazing.

Grace Bee

One tiny vehicle is the new one big bed

Prince.3ric

Sometimes magic happens on nature walks. My camp counselor and I petted a golden eagle that was just sitting on a log off the trail. It was like "I could kill you at any time, so I don't care if you do this"

Mackenzie Fresquez

As someone who hiked over 800 miles continuously this summer- animals following you is not normal or standard 😅

Molly Oxenfree

So it’s now cannon that the boy wizard is Cody Johnston to me

Nate Otts

If y’all call the toilet paper sending stones anything but the “shit talker” I’ll be sad

Brad Copland

Hearing Jake get razzed gave me an idea, what about a mixed bag, roast of the OG bahumia characters, as themselves. So hardwon roasts moonshine, Bev roasts hardwon, etc etc. Chime ins from side characters via murph

Seth Jensen

As an avid hiker/trail runner, can confirm that this deer behavior is crazy (unless you're in a national park, where it's a little more common). The only conclusion is that Emily has the "animal friend aura" feature achieved only by real-world level 12 druids 🦌

Grass

Deer LOVE to follow me and my chihuahua all the time and it’s so alarming

Sam Taz

Looking forward to a giant duck pillow!

Adam Haikal

My guess is that the deer has had previous hikers feed it and now recognizes humans as "food givers".

Kelsey DiGloria

Begging for the release of the deer videos 🙏

Erin

Emily, have you ever heard of hobo signs? During the Great Depression, tramps would leave secret signs for each other (carved in fence posts, etc.) The sign for “a kindhearted woman lives here” is a smiling cat. Sounds like the critters know that you’re a kindhearted woman and word has spread.

Carly Anne

All in for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Duck theory that the duck changes size as necessary.

Michael

What happened to The Campaign 1 game?

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Em, its so sweet how you absolutely tell the MOST interesting stories yet think people will probably be uninterested in them. I’m not a hunter but know hunters mask their human scent from the deer. Maybe you smell like sweet honeysuckle or jasmine to them instead of intimidating human.

Not Another D&D Podcast

We're still working on it! Videogame development is a long process, but we're hoping to have more stuff to show off soon! ~Caldwell

AmberDextrous!

My mom was a total Disney princess lol, she had wildlife creatures approach her all the time when she was growing up. So many stray cats and dogs would gravitate towards her, she had a pet deer, a pet possum, a pet skunk, several pet squirrels and raccoons and even a freakin bobcat that liked to hang out around her and liked to be pet. Just absolutely crazy.

Oliver

Hey Emily,this is hiking 101, welcome to the club

Zander Boettcher

Behumia in the current campaign is like the equivalent of legend of Korra to avatar the last airbender. Also sometimes I get Geralt of Rivia vibes from Jake's voice for Caulder

polyglottal cracker

I really wanna know where Murph was going with the "We've been playing d&d a long time ..." lead-in before the deer tangent took over

Frankenjam

Is there a duck in untitled goose game? I was picturing a green/brown feathered duck with black beak. Like those carved or plastic ones that hunters use

Garga Lenoir

Oh thank you so much Jake, from me and all software developers! We had to deal with daylight savings, time zones, and now Jake Time!

Lil’ Stinky

@frankenjam… I’ve never got got this hard in my LIFE 🪦

Vince Mascoli

Hot Frog Pal Body Pillows should be a thing

David Loughin

Important note about the Power Glove: it had sensors you put on your TV and you could control your character by moving your hand around and bending fingers. It also sucked major ass

Part Time Tabletopper

Gonna start calling him “Sol Rudd”. Why does he keep looking better and better with age?

Emily

Hi! Grew up near deer, been in deer accidents, etc. just had to say: ‘Em, you’ve been chosen to be in the deer mafia. May the noses be ever in your favor.

Gabby Johnson

I hike a lot and I’ve never been followed by a deer and also I’m scared as shit about deer cuz they could really fuck you up so be careful, Em!

Omar Mtz

It was the goddess Artemis/Diana sending a message to you. What she is saying? Who knows!

Michael

Thank you, I like many fans can't wait.

Rachel

wish emily didn't have to preemptively defend herself before ppl comment some annoying shit undermining her for no reason

kiarra burd

this short rest only confirms what we've always already known, that Em is a real-life magical being and hero to animals and humans alike.

Welibwe

That would be epic

Welibwe

I literally hike as my job. This has never happened to me and I'm INSANELY jealous. From now on, any time I see a deer I shall state at it expectantly and angrily.

Seasquidley

Emily, that's hiking 1000001, I've never heard of this

Nathaniel Thomas

We do know that finger condoms are already a thing right? Ribs and all.

Maygan

Please I would love to see the deer videos it sounds so Awesome

Jonathan H.

There’s that many comments and no one mentioned that the Power Glove had actual motion controls with some weird microwave module over a tv? Am I a old?

Dingus Bomb

Hate to be that guy, but the Nintendo power glove did actual have motion control capabilities, it wasnt just a glove with a d pad. It was still a steaming pile of shit tho so idk why im defending it 😂

Daniel Fenn-Tye

Fun fact, even if the same person had spiritual weapon and hold person going at the the same time it would have been fine. Spiritual weapon isn't concentration

Zander Boettcher

The pull of the word zweihander killed me hahaha

Xeylah

I think Emily might have actual Disney princess powers

Jacqui L

If you’ve ever been to a deer park in Japan, the deer follow you around constantly. That sounds like a magical hike though!

JD Scruggs

Was Emily followed by a skinwalker???
