Matty Major

Thank you thank you thank you. A much needed distraction from office job....

Smidazzle

Not the marmalade ☹️

Smidazzle

Not jfk too ☹️

GoblinGuy

Freddie being labelled “the least gay” of all of them by MATT fucking killed me. Thank you daddies for actually distancing up for queer rights! Happy pride everyone<3

GoblinGuy

Pause, did we just learn that the queen canonically has a mommy/mdlb kink in the Dndads universe? 😭🙏

Willem Guzman

Loving all the gang going through politicians, WHERES WILL THO

GoblinGuy

This intro felt like being hit over the back of the head with a brick repeatedly by a clown

McTilly

Pardon me I pay top dollar for no ads, however I will be buying the pride metal dice set.

LiliLemon

All I want for Pride Month is a second episode of Would!

Riku 🧷🎱

Hearing Will commentate the bowling test giving me major ShotBot flashbacks 😭

Cr1ms0n_1412

I got the dice! They look so cool- and gay. I already love them.

TheHegemonCaller

ON GODS. THIS OPENING IS ONE OF THE BEST THUS FAR.

KeikoPin Cosplay

the monster hunter chat was a delightful surprise 😂

Cody Moriah

Given how that's how it feels talking to my fellow queer peers, it works very well.

Cooper Benton

All I thought of when they mentioned the night witches was the song by Sabaton

Paul Litch

Sooooo... the Guttural Screams are basically the world's birth control!?! love it!

Cody Moriah

I wish the reason Zuzel can hear Radio Rick is because he's actually a gender-fucky lesbian... it's pride month, please let me have this

ADoubleEgg

BRO WHAT, THE CAT IS BACK?

Tony Loch

The bowling mini game is fantastic.

Borgar

had to skip the intro, kinda illegible and incomprehensible, and not in the good "Lovecraftian" way of this story. Bad audio, should listen a couple more times through after applying a filter that ruins audio fidelity. I get that's the vibe, but that's the point if it's just basically unintelligible noise? And the length of it? Like man, made me skip like 3 minutes of content because it was a waste of time to try and decipher it. If you're gonna put all your eggs in a basket, make sure it doesn't have any holes, because that intro just sounded like a "hole" lot of nonsense. Relistens are crucial in an audio medium. It'd be like releasing a movie with too much lens flare that blinds the audience from seeing things all because you forgot to edit properly and rewatch the final product

Zack Bochman

oh shit my name finally came up in the end credits. and Freddy actually pronounced it right. hell yea.

Everest

The least gay of us lol

Everest

It sounds great through Bose sound canceling headphones!

Zack Bochman

might just be whatever you're listening on, I didn't have any problem at all understanding it. and it seems a few other people on here had no trouble either.

Lander Darby

Silent ball, quiet ball also known as mum ball

Mack Jacy

WILL: Have you ever watched Final Space?

Mack Jacy

Try to watch it before it’s deleted forever! It’s tragic, but the story is being taken off the internet slowly, so try to watch any if y’all can!

Walter Meyer

I had to go re listen after reading this and I must admit, I heard it just fine... and not for nothing but 3 min out of an hour and fourty eight min show doesn't feel like it's gonna kill the vibe...

Golden_Grimm

I think the intro was fun and audible, especially on my dinky headphones

Juice-BoxBandit

Imma need Will to explain his thought process on why he put tiny alien creatures in the translators I can’t get over that , regardless solid episode nice 👍🏼

FusRohNahSon

I used to think yall were smart, but this spy episode man idk

Stuart Onslow

Couldn’t disagree more. The intro was great, and I didn’t miss a word. This sounds like an audio issue on your end

Úlfdís

Beth and Anthony are YWA veterans, they were ready for the Dyatlov Pass mention lol

Reilly Nietering

Me standing over my stove making dinner as the episode ends: 😱

whirlybird

not my aviation nerd ass hearing the night witches and going !!!!! (they were a very real group of all women pilots who kicked ass during ww2 - their name comes from how the nazis would refer to them cause they could only ever hear the whistling of their planes in the wind before they attacked, like a witches broom. 588th night bomber regiment if any one wants to look them up :)) i applaud their immortalization as competent bowlers LOL

rosebramblewolf

I listened just on my phone, out loud, in my living room, with a loud AC unit running, and had no problem understanding it.

Anxious_Introvert_lol

The dyatlov pass incident was solved, it was a mini avalanche, called a slab avalanche, this happened at night and forced them out of their tent, and bc some people sleep with less cloths on, that's why they were not fully clothed.

Hez

I think it's you, friend. I could hear it clearly and understand it.

Jasper Ririnui

I'm confused about their rolls for crit fails, Will said he rolled two 10s for Fun Chris but isn't 00-0 the crit fail? I think it came up earlier in the season too that someone rolled 00-0 and thought it was a success

ESO

Is Marbles dead? 🥺

jesse doidge

On a d100 00 means 0 but on a d10 0 means 10 It's a bit counter-intuitive but it's so that you can get any number between 1 and 100 with 00, 1 being 1 and 90, 0 being 100.

Jasper Ririnui

I think I'm probably just missing something. I've always played it with the two d10s, 00 + 1 is a crit 1 and then 00 + 0 is a crit fail. Will saying he rolled two 10s made me think he'd rolled with disadvantage and got 10 + 0 as the result, meaning 10 not 100 Im so sorry if I'm just misunderstanding and not making sense haha

Ryan Higgins

Is it me, or dose that intro music get more soulful every couple episodes lol. Love it

Bex Boster

Why did we let the least gay of us start this 😂😂😂

lizardqueen6969

The "who do you think you are, I am" in the Blake voice sent me 😂

AlexEnby

My eyes combined lines in the description blurb and read the content warning as “This episode contains bowling.” 💀

Sunny K

“I did my research” — that’s how you know we’re in for a good goddamn time (Show of likes, who wants a big info dump of cool Lithuanian facts before the next Peach Pit?)

steak

I genuinely thought freddy was queer im a little shocked

Frankie Covington

I've been waiting for YEARS for this to happen to me haha congrats 👏

Borscht Bill

This really should have been a great episode. Premise was cool. But there are next to zero dice rolls and the group is just steam rolling Will. It’s not a ttrpg anymore, it’s just Matt playing pretend and doing whatever he wants. Like, how was there no repercussions to the group not speaking Russian. They just talk in english the whole time and insist they understand all the Russian conversations with no blowback. I love the show and all the cast but, come on, it’s not fun to listen to a role play power fantasy where you can negate everything

Edward Osborne

This has been a fun and delightful change of settings. Especially love the Cold War Soviet mood music

Jeremy Cook

Maybe hitchhiker's guide influence.

Displacer Beast

100% its because it's More Cthulu than just having fancy tech 🤣

Juice-BoxBandit

Okay I’m glad I’m not the only one here I know Matt was sick and all and they could have done so much more with airplane scene this felt like just kinda whatever but much love to them still

Zack Bochman

same lol, I signed up before the end of season 1. I thought I heard my name one other time but it was someone who happened to have the same first name and nickname that I had in high-school lol.

Katie L

Anthony as JFK is honestly the most he’s ever sounded like John Mulaney

SonOfABoofo

Russian babel fish is cool

GoblinGuy

That’s the one thing that does seem kinda off. We WANT to see these characters being put in bad situations. Roleplay is absolutely important for any ttrpg, but it feels a bit more like an improv class than a *game* if that makes sense. Their actions SHOULD have consequences. The aliens being killed really should have had a sanity check for everyone, plus disguise checks etc etc

Queer!Content

Don't worry. He'll always be gay in the fanfic. 💅

mrspoopi

actually genuinely enjoyed reading bowling alone lol fun reference

GeneralBacon22

It feels like Wills playing tag with the party but every time he’s about to tag them they say “time out” lol. It’s funny but gets annoying

everett harbaugh

not finished with the episode, but i bet $100 that kolotov is the original tony colette

KingRacer97

The switch noise in between scenes is sending me LOL

eatmygerms

legit laughed every time with the switch sound effect 😂😂

Dominick Jansen

In Eastern Europe, home made booze is called palinka. Germans and some Scandinavian countries call it snaps. #lovethebalkan

Matt Thomas

Melk? Is Matt from Wisconsin?

Oof

Dungeon and daddies is the only place I have seen selling pride merch this year

Oof

After they have pointed out Anthony's fake laugh I can't unhear it when Beth makes her dad fact

Linden Staggs

I think the alien earpiece is fun but he should've have just told them what it was straight away like that should've let them figure it out

Bishibosh44

Should get Dave Tak and Rush Frushstick on to talk about accesibility. I kno yall just goofing but this one was a little problematic for me. Beth had a point but the tone came off very rough on all sides. Also roofieing the bar as a strategy? And as a side note, I have taken like 10 sick days in my life and have to be told to lay back down when sick. I have never heard the men being babies while sick trope.

Bishibosh44

It would be impossible to track Matt's home based on his speech. His pronounciations are a regular source of joy.

Redsriding

Yall did beth DIRTY I always talk about how society works against my kind with can openers and scissors

Redsriding

Oh wait she’s redoing it. GOOD #justice

Trevor Cassidy

My understanding always was: 00 + 1 = 1 10 + 0 = 10 00 + 0 = 100

iRawr

Hell yeah, I immediately thought Anton -> Antonio -> Tony & Kolotov -> Colette when I heard he reminded Trudy of an old friend!

Sunny K

🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹LITHUANIA FACTS🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹 1. The Lithuanian language is considered linguistically important because it is one of the oldest, closest conserved modern languages to the root of all Indo-European languages! If you listen to Lithuanian vocab, you’ll recognize Romance and Slavic words for sure, but words that sound an awful lot like Sanskrit too (also, sorry Freddie, Lithuanian and Latvian are BALTIC, not Slavic—but you were very close!) 2. Cold borscht is a much beloved summertime dish, it’s called šaltibarščiai. It has origins from the time period during which Poland and Lithuania formed one commonwealth nation, and can be made using all kinds of bases—sour cream, buttermilk, kefir are a few of these. You can add all kinds of fixings on top. 3. While there is absolutely Lithuanian-made vodka, another much beloved drink of pre-Soviet Lithuania is Krupnikas, a sweet, spiced honey liqueur. It’s very popular among American descendants of Lithuanians who immigrated in the late 1890s/1900s—what I was wondering while listening was if the guttural screams could have gotten bad intel from Lithuanian-Americans that krupnikas is the number one drink of choice, and risk stoking Russian anger and initiating a fight by showing a preference to krupnikas over vodka (a la the bar scene in inglourious basterds) 4. The Lithuanian language has a lot of words that sound quite a bit like English nouns and onomatopoeia. For example, “yes” is “taip” (sounds a bit like “tape”) and “thanks” is “ačiū” (like “achoo”) Like if you want more! (DISCLAIMER: user is an American of Lithuanian descent, but very enthusiastic about the language and culture. Lithuanian nationals are welcome to weigh in on anything here)

Tina & Gemma

Love the music during the Russia segment!! It sets the scene really well.

Suniyan

A 00 0 means 100. You cannot roll a 0 on any die unless it is part of the system (CoC a 00 0 is 100). Usually in D100 systems 1s are Crit Successes and 100s are Fumbles.

Suniyan

That's what they want you to think.

Oof

The twist!!!!!! Omg

VaJayla

We called it "silent soccer" and good lord they did not allow a four square ball 😂 we used a foam ball

Jessica

👉👈can someone carry me?👉👈

ABLISM! ABLIST! I DEFY THIS PODCAST FOR IGNORING THE PLIGHT OF BEING LEFT HANDED

Jessica

Therapeutic poison affirmations 🥰

Keira Jade

As a bitch, a bro, and a nonbinary ho, I am sold

Sir. Corny Neck

This is a brutal butchering of the Dyatlov Pass Incident. That incident is one of the biggest rabbit hole conspiracys out there.

Madie N

SASHA BANKS?!?! I love it

Lizby

Zuzel drain the swamp

ScoopyOopyPoopy

Ok you're freaking me out, this week I have been talking with everybody about the dyatlov pass (I do speak of it often, but it's been a couple years), and here you are, Will. I'd love to hear some theories you guys have. But don't give me the avalanche bullcrap 🙄 yeti or soviets only

Lidija Vasilyev

Eisenhower sounds like beavis and butthead lol

Lidija Vasilyev

Speaking of krushchevas, there’s a classic Russian holiday movie called ‘The Irony of Fate’ where a guy ends up in the wrong town but thinks he’s at his home- but since all of the buildings are cookie cutter his key works for this exact house number in a different town. Its a fun movie should check it out

GuyLou

I work with kids a boy does silent ball save my ass once a week. We also nowadays make it kind of a consent game where you have to get physical confirmation from the other kid that they indeed want you to pass the ball lol and if they shake your head they move on.

DungeonBrat

Nintendo is gonna GET y’all for using their lil switch clicky noise lmao

Rainbow the Flamboyant Clown

I was on a bowling league when I was 16 and I got in to a car accident hitting black ice and slamming in to another car on the way to bowling and I got hurt limping into the bowling alley and bowled my best game during the season with a 257 when my score is uslly between 56 and 94. All my friends and team members told I need to get in to accidents more often I bowl better hurt

Tinyhumanbrain76

LMAO wtf was that intro 🤣🤣🤣😭 “this isn’t a social call… oh mama”

Sam

As a left handed person, Justice!! 24:35

Skye the Bi

Maybe it’s just bc I’m a slight geography nerd but it astonishes me to know THAT little about Lithuania. Its capital is Vilnius, it is the southernmost of the Baltic countries. It is located southeast of Finland, north of Belarus and Poland, and west of Russia. The flag of Lithuania is red, gold, and green and altho the primary language is Lithuanian most Lithuanians are fluent in at least one other language (mostly Russian and English but also some Polish I think).

Skye the Bi

So basically the toxin is ketamine

Marissa Y.

If the Moscow Mules return, some name thoughts: Josh Brolin. Brolivia Newton John. Humphrey Brogart. Angelina Brolie. Thank you for your time. Also, the tiny musical sting when Will introduces Kolotov was PERFECT.

withinmyself

Left handed people don't exist.

withinmyself

I don't know what a 4 square ball or silent ball ( soccer ) is. We did have a parachute we played with, that was 'fun'

James King

"Queen of _England_"?

Denatonia (Haven)

Kolotov Mocktail was INCREDIBLE wordplay just on the fly

Matthew Morse

Would love to know how boujee a school that Freddie went to never hear of silent ball. I went to a private school in Washington too and all the other schools did it😂

Johnathan

They obliterated will this episode

corundum liqueur

Francis needs a tiny Ron Stampler to tell him he’s enough just as he is

Justin Keeton

Shout out Beth May for being an advocate for left handed bowlers everywhere!

Devon Willingham

I love that I also corrected dyatlav (they also are pretty sure they figured out what happened) Also I really hope they talk about the intro in the peach pit.

Sam Burkinshaw

who do you think you are i am!! 🇱🇹🎳
