The Dad Crew sits down to talk about episode 26 of season two, but first Freddie makes everyone draw the geography of DADDIES HQ from this episode. Then they get into the actual episode including such topics as Matt's long term plan for Link's voice change, the alt intro pitch of Tony and Taylor's anime podcast, and some details around the secret items Willie and Scary took. 

Plus, they talk about the secret sauce of creating compelling contrasting characters, expiration dates on food and sauces, and interesting ways to run a campaign with a bigger group that can be light on combat.

Check out everyone's drawings in the pdf attached to this post!

Wooohooo it's Tuesday again!!

I looked at the drawings first and I can't wait to hear them explain 😂

MkA7L

Ditto

hal

arguing about plans and clarifying details is soo much of a regular dnd session, especially with time-constrained plans, managing that for a podcast sounds like walking a tightrope on fire

MkA7L

“Damn”

Logan Eliot

As a DM myself, I stand with Anthony that describing 3d space is really tough. My PCs will constantly poke holes in the environment and it is real annoying. I can’t even blame them I contradict myself so much.

hal

the elevator bit + the posters add some nice touches from the og dads, the hq sadly doesnt feel that connected to them and it would be cool to get more details like that

Matthew Bottorff

I have these now. Oh boy I haven't a clue what I will do with them, but I have them.

Sophie B Grapplin

I really love all the little conversations between the teens and their dads. Like the bit of Link re-traumatising Grant and all of Normal and Sparrows interactions

Unsalted Pasta Water

Hardest Ive laughed at a talking dad in a while, about hit my head on my desk

Hannah Forster

The taskmaster pull made me so happy, I love that show.

CrazyFunkyChunky

Is there a reason the past few episodes haven't been available for mp3 download? I listen to these at work and I don't get a good signal for patreon

Whachamacallit

Are you using the app? If so, the thing is weird and will take away your ability to download randomly. I would download the on your computer and then send them to your phone.

Taco Dragons

Matt is fucking insane. Hands down my favorite. I could listen to you just say shit all day. That breast milk joke had me howling. At work!

Phi Oliver

Beached whales usually die from overheating

Baikanon

Can't speak for CrazyFunkyChunky, but the downloads have all disappeared for me and I usually access them through Chrome, in browser

Natalie Reed

Where did you find the Drawings?

Ryley Henry

Click on the post and it's an attachment at the bottom, like an email sorta. 👍

shari downs

will, im so curious about what the book on fictional writing is! i’d love to read it if you have the name 🥹 ty!!

EthorX

Yo! Real talk, Taskmaster rules!

Sara Hearsey

Do we get to get the drawings?

Brian Fernandes

Hmmm, this might be a Patreon thing because we haven't been posting any differently.

Brian Fernandes

they're attached to the patreon post in a pdf!

Chase

Anthony, your description method is the honest reason that I can enjoy the show in the audio form. Compared to trying to listen to critical role combats in podcast form. Your descriptions allow for the mental image to develop and grow as it will, and doesn’t retcon that naturally grown image. Which means that image is ingrained and set. Making the show even more memorable.

Grisha Cinnirolls

Not sure if it was just a joke that went over my head, but is Taylor the least popular amongst listeners? He's my favourite!

Mel Mel

Well dang. Anthony mentioned the "This is my crib" bit from Sons and Sonsibilities so now I have to listen to it for the 5th time 😂

Noah Jay

I can download in my Pocket Casts app. If you download directly from Patreon, maybe try an app instead if it seems like Patreon isn't hosting the download link anymore?

owlid

For anyone looking for the drawings they are attached the post as a pdf!

Andrea Davidson

On expiration dates: for things that seem like they should never go bad, the expiration dates refer to the packaging. (Ex. Honey is not necessarily going to go bad, but if it is in plastic, there can be an expiry date based on when the packaging can affect the contents)

Mollie E

There's real new dad vs toddler dad energy in this one.

Jack Campau

Sorry, HOT TAKE ALERT: but you guys are wrong about revivify, you’re just not playing the game in a way where revivify would be narratively interesting. If Anthony was the type of DM that counted spell slots and you guys where actually using your characters abilities in combat and stuff like a real DnD game it would be really narratively interesting if you used your resources. It’s when you have to make choices like using your last spell slot for a death blow to the villain trying to escape or revivify your downed teammate who just died trying to kill them. You guys just aren’t ever drained of your resources because it’s a narratively driven game where you guys are kinda the superheroes. It’s more reminiscent of blades in the dark honestly especially if you’re integrating this past life making decisions that help you kinda thing. It’s just not a TTRPG driven narrative and I think that’s fine, it’s just gonna mess up the power scaling of the universe sometimes. Still love the pod and the way y’all do it tho! It’s just that this is where the criticism that “y’all don’t really play DnD” rings true. Don’t hate the game, hate the player

"Scary is irredeemable" God forbid women do anything

James Moretti

Anyone else predict Matt was gonna go the puperty route? Lovely little twist and if you listen back, you can see he is laying foundation for it. E.g. In the Link's eleven intro "oh, someday" 🤣 keep up the great work, everyone!

Neelika Patel

Okay but I don’t put any of my sauces or condiments in the fridge. Haven’t died yet.

Make your own 1 page 1 shot campaign and this is the page.

Conflict between characters is the most interesting kind! Take the wheel Beth May 👐

GillableGuy

I feel like you are really undervaluing them. They do count spell slots, they use abilities in combat. But this case wasn’t even combat, They would have full spell slots at the time of Tony’s death, and they could easily revive him and it would have been lame and sucked. Revivify in like almost all cases is a lame spell. The example you are able to give where it is cool is so specific. If only one party member has it, and they have used all but one of the spell slots they can use to cast revivify, and someone just died since their last turn cause they could have revived them if it wasn’t, and the villain is running away, and no one else has time to attack, and the healer doesn’t have any other attacks or spells that can take out the villain, and the villain is using a method of escape that’s slow enough where they have time to attack, but fast enough where they can’t chase after them or shoot them after the healers turn, and also, the healer is about to die, not to mention the fact that this choice is only gonna be tough for a very small amount of characters, and most will just insta revive Revivify is a lame spell

GillableGuy

She… she like betrayed everyone and helped the guy who wants to ruin the world kill an innocent guy…

Littledising

No but fr is it recycling breastmilk or reusing breastmilk?

Corbin Young

For that MRE segment you guys mentioned a channel, we're you talking about steve1989mreinfo? Cuz I watch that dude all the time 😭😭

Brandon Sifuentez

Lol Matt under his breath “Whatever feels right… like porn” 😂

Brandon Sifuentez

Matt Arnold… “Daddy gets a taste” 😂😂😂

O

I can't comprehend these drawings.

Lienisaur

THE BREASTMILK FUCKING KILLED ME MATT IM CRYING 😂😂

Spinnaker

Oh yeah, Glenn Close should be in hell, right? He already died so it's not like he'd die of old age

Dancakes

Shout out to Steve, wish that dude uploaded more.

QueenShark

Did you ever find out what this book was? I definitely am curious too! :)

Risotto

When Anthony just read the next question that made me laugh out loud LOL

Rachel Bathgate

Noooo I came to the comments hoping someone had figured it out 😅 posting in case anyone figured it out

Axeres

Did they post the daddies hq drawings they made in this episode?

ihatehxh

yes it's linked in the description

Cianan

I’m shocked it took this many Talking Dads for Taskmaster to get brought up lol, what a great show!

emjemme

Hearing Matt say Darryl is a Trump voter hit different this morning.

Dergon

It really did

Lem

Canonically, Darryl is not. Matt was saying he thought it would be funnier on reflection from the innocent days of 2022.

emjemme

Right. It was just tough to hear on my drive to work the day after the 2024 election.

Lem

Think of it like they're playing a homebrew. There's nothing to rules-lawyer because you don't have the rules.

Caleb Crawford

As a Dad of two, now 5 and 3, it's true that after your baby becomes a toddler that you just totally block out and forget everything that happened when they were a baby cuz you were so sleep deprived lol

Marissa Y.

I like to think that Grant (and probably Henry) would have swayed him by the time of the 2024 election. Maybe not fully liberal, but enough that Darryl would not have voted for him.

emjemme

For sure! Darryl learns new things from Henry through the course of S1 so I would totally believe that.

Joey

This is easily one of the best talking dad episodes, such good stuff and I love these guys. Hilarious!

Devon

Funny - I'm listening to this right after my friend told me four more Franklin Expedition bodies have been identified! I don't hear about the expedition or The Terror very often, so it's interesting that this keeps coming up today.
