Primus fucking sucks!!

Max Herzog

Also, naming Phish, String Cheese Incident, and the Disco Biscuits!?! Is Emily the Head of the group!?

Chungledown Bim

In my opinion, the Lightkeepers are the most sympathetic group in this campaign

Austin S

For what it’s worth a year late for Jake, but my school band experience was similar, I wanted to play drums but got told I had too much potential for other instruments compared to the not so great students who got stuck with drums Granted both my band directors were professional drummers who loved to make fun of other drummers so who knows

dryptid

"i suck is a hard thing to win back" fast forward to murph yelling "I RULE AT SUCKING" on d20 when he successfully rolled the 1 they all wanted

passion

reading this while rehearing the jaina lore is making me weep

Blue Bee

I am shocked Murph didn't call to mind Kurt Angle's "you suck" chant that he's been coming out to for the last like 15 years

Zaq Putnam

Nothing brings me more joy than Emily being chaotic

Libbortea

If y’all still have yet to visit a Buc-ee’s there’s one outside of Birmingham AL. :)

Camilla Jefferson

i feel so bad for Emily, nobody else being familiar with Primus. Primus sucks! although i remember hearing that eventually they asked fans to stop chanting it at concerts because it made them feel bad haha!

Fiel

I think Team Duck Fucking Sucks definitely rules and was punk rock, since the whole dynamic of the fight was that Team Tection had the far better stats yet ultimately still got owned. What does it say that a team of D-Classes who fucking suck could go toe-to-toe with you?

Emma Beer

DnD in a car is so funny after watching dimension 20 on a bus

Skeletal Cleric

Band was the same way at my school there were always so many kids that wanted to do drums they made cuts before they let you sign up.

Hapyy

At primus concerts, the chant is “primus sucks”!

Kellyd

Shoutout to Murph's Girl Talk shoutout, Girl Talk rules and is also my go-to when Lofi Girl isn't cutting it

Compound27

I thought they would just the summoning scroll to get rid of them. Hack it so if they get into a fight with them they can't win, they activate it and it summons them somewhere else

Keath

Thanks for putting in weekend hours to get this out so soon!!

Fia (but not Boginya)

The Buick Enclave makes you take a full action to communicate with your party, it's so tough

Adam Trevino

Just in time! I just finished listening to the episode for this.

David

First

jackalope503

Sure Murph works incredibly hard to put together this show we all love but I think I'd need to compare his towing capacity and bluetooth capabilities against the Buick Enclave before I decide which I'd rather have

v_squared (Vanessa)

Em, I feel your pain, getting shamed out of being artistic. Except I was in college.

some loser

i'm sorry but i can't stay silent: at 28:44, murph gets cut off and recovers by saying "yeah" like he's in the middle of climaxing

Mason Shucart

I had an idea that I thought was going to happen right before the team tection fight. I thought someone was going to message to the camp to use the scroll that calls them and then save everyone while also having the whole camp go in on them.

The Wizard Skoolie

We 100% need an "It's A Club Not A Band" mixed bag jam sesh 🎷🎸🥁

Vivi

Wasn't there a "we suck" moment in Scott Pilgrim?

Sean Rooney

Hate to be that guy...Buick is owned by GM...message sent from the back of a Buick Encore.

Keith Kelly

I had the opposite experience of Jake with drumming. I took private lessons for a few years in high school from a guy who was a music teacher at another school. He knew MY school's music teacher/band leader, and tried multiple times to get me to join their jazz/stage band but I was way to socially anxious for that.

Daniel Moran

"Primus sucks!" is a longrunning joke from fans of the band.

Bandanno

Primus Sucks!

WunDarWun

Hearts to Emily for the art teacher experience. Every time I hear the word "rubbish" I flash back to my 3rd grade art teacher crumbling my painting of a dog and calling throwing it away

Jordan Suleiman

As an elementary school teacher, I can confirm that Murph is probably correct about why Jake was pushed off of the Drums and onto the sax. Sometimes a kids gotta be drafted into something less exciting because of the logistics of the situation. It’s never fun, but it’s gotta be done

Tara Boyle

Emily and Zac swapped Fig and Gorgug’s instruments

Scott Allen

I appreciate the music teacher love! I teach music at an elementary. I have 530 students and I'm dying

Theo Englund

Jake I also wanted to play drums and my teacher told me I couldn’t so I played sax😳

Sara

NADDPOD 🤝 MBMBaM Loving the Buick Enclave

Chuck Dee

I had an old cassette of NoFX called "I heard they suck live" which was a live album from 95. I feel like that's the one Jake was referencing.

Braden Wolf

I am a first year middle school band director. We have to turn kids away from drums all the time because it’s always the most popular. Music isn’t written for 20 drums and 5 clarinets, it’s the other way around! So Jake, I’m sure you could’ve drummed, but some other kids were just better :)

Ben S

All this talk of car maker/DnD podcast sponsors and no one mentions Rolls Royce?

Adah Kinzer

Big rose to music ed majors. Music school is HARD

Charlie Karls

Of course hardwon played the wood block!!!!

Morgan

PRIMUS SUCKS!!

Dan Malloy

blink-182’s live album also had a bunch of “we suck and we hate each other” jokes.

farmerjoe_y

OMG! As an art teacher, I am so sorry this happened to you! I'll kick that lady's ass! If she aint dead, that is.

Ilana Galpert

Re: expeditions retreat--some dnd spells seem so frustratingly specific that while they seem really cool on paper but they feel like wasting a preparation slot. Like knock--you might never encounter a lock

Ilana Galpert

it would be kind of nice if you could swap prepared spells after a short rest. it's frustrating to be like "ah we should teleport somewhere but i don't have it prepared...i guess let's sleep for 8 hours." As it is, you have to be so careful about what you choose to prepare

Dana A

as a music school grad/pro musician, band club is so pure and sweet and I'm glad y'all are having fun learning songs 🥲

SupremeWhale

I think to be a music teacher you need to know how to play every instrument

Adam Gomez

I was able to go to both Austin and Dallas shows it was so much fun! I made sure to hit up a bucees on the way back to San Antonio lol. If you do come back for another show and are able to stop by a bucees I would recommend the lemon pepper or bohemian jerky, great for road trips!

H-Train

birdpipes are just pan flutes

H-Train

wait, so nobody sings, emily plays drums, murph is a guitarist, and zac is bass… what does siobhan play then? keys?

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

So funny! Primus came up while we were driving to the Dallas live show. Buc-ee’s was pointed out to me and I said it reminded me of that song about the big brown beaver.

TheStarrySkye

For Emily: "your music sucks, including us" is a line from Foxy Shazam's "welcome to the church of rock and roll"

Debra Wasson

Buccee’s on the Denton and Fortworth side of Dallas… guess y’all will have to come back!

Debra Wasson

I’ve made the 3 hour trip to Dallas in an Enclave. Solid ride. Worth the rose

2026-09-05 07:00 Primus is the band where hardcore fans yell "Primus sucks!" Also, please start a ska cover band called "More Than Jake". You can guess who the lead singer will be.

Ursa

as someone who was in both public school orchestra and percussion, the discussion of how weird your music programs were really hurts me but is still relatable lol

Driftwood747

Chiming in a bit late to say thanks to Emily and the gang for inspiring me to pick up music again. Similar story of being shamed out of it young, so I only ever played the piano home alone and plucked away. But hearing you are all just picking up instruments and jamming made it sound so fun! I just got home and set up my new 88 key keyboard. Can't wait to learn some of the music from the show ^_^ cheers!

Driftwood747

I second this motion, get the Bailiff on mic!

Dax Motarex

Aghhhhh I so want to hear band club practice now

Jason Hatfield

Who doesn't love a BIG BEAUTIFUL BUICK ENCLAVE (I was waiting for the MBMBaM shout-out not gonna lie)

Grant Klein

Emily may be referring to “PRIMUS SUCKS”

Martian

"Sweet beaver action" wasn't a thing I was expecting to hear but I am dying lmaoooo

Parker

So no one's going to address "sweet beaver action"??? We're just moving past that???

ChromaticMars

Your teacher stories reminded me that my Grandpa was the little league coach for Cuba Gooding Jr. He told him he would never be good at baseball and I like to think my grandpa was the reason he got famous

Lianne Zen

Emily, you were totally right about bands being self deprecating! Not only does Primus have the whole "Primus Sucks" thing, but CSS (of Apple iPod commercial music fame) has "CSS Suxxx!" as an album/song/concert chant. And then there's Scott Pilgrim's Sex Bob-Ombs

Cj Ferrigno

"Duck Team Fucking Sucks" is a certified "Bon Frere" moment

wick

Has anyone made the parallels between C3 and Watch Dogs 3? Lmao underground resistances vs Big Corp vibes.

Jack Waters

In my head any buds referencing things from campaign 1, like looking forward to meeting Jaina, are called bud heavies from now on. Just putting it out there because I enjoyed it. Hopefully someone else will too.

Jessy G

The joke was missed, D&D would be played in a Rolls-Royce….

AmberDextrous!

Same thing happened to me with drums. Tried out for drums and my band director said no, which was INSANE to me in hindsight because I'd already played piano for like 8 years at this point, why would you not let the piano player into percussion since they won't have to learn the xylophone but WHATEVER. She essentially forced me into playing trombone - by not accepting "I don't want to play trombone" as a reason to not play trombone - which I proceeded to suck at for 3.5 years until surprise surprise, they asked me to move to percussion to play xylophone.

Grelk

Based art teacher

Bulbarat

If you guys need a singer, hmu 😉

Ethan Porter

Did/does Emily play a wind instrument? She sounds like she really knows what she's talking about with embecoure and stuff

Ron A.

Im sure this has been addressed , but I heard they suck live is a NOFX album

GREYFOX!!!!!

Blink 182 often said they sucked minus Travis they would always praise him

Alvina Ophiuchus

My Chemical Romance literally has a song(Vampire Money) whos opening lyrics are literally "3 2 1, we came to suck!"

Yoav Hayut

I am so late listening to this episode but actual music education major here! We literally HAVE to learn every instrument. Also jake, your teacher sucked! Should’ve allowed you to play the drums!

Estelle

It would be cool to build in a mechanic where you could pull out your spell book or meditate for a short rest to "quick learn" a spell to swap into your prepped spells, but you could only use it at L1 because it would be just a cursory read over.

k.allen

I've gotten into Dimension 20 because I needed more content that included y'all so listening to Emily talk about Fig and being in the know about it was great. Also the beauty that is Emily playing drums while Zac plays bass was a wonderful real life inverse nod to Fantasy High and it was so great

Jacob Stringer

Started with d20 then found Naddpod and love both equally but you guys' chaos is pristine
