Mixed Bag of Holding - Hearthside Chat

Murph just wants to play Malcolm Reynolds. An old knight who was on the losing side of a war and now works as a mercenary/for a lowly lord. It's a reach, I know, but sue me, I love Firefly.

This Skaldova tease!!

I think Jake could DM a game of Shadowrun. There's limited magic and the system is pretty comprehensive when you get into it

There literally HAS to be more chairs than miniwheats. Miniwheats are a domestic product of the US meanwhile chairs are a universal product that can be found in and outside of homes, businesses and communal spaces

Emily, so cool!! You're learning guitar, which is my instrument of many hours played. And now, I'm learning to sing and taking keys lessons, inspired by you ☺️ love the pod, love you 4, and I can't wait to hear more Axford Jams. P.s., any news about your next album??

Murph may have single handedly convinced me to get into wrestlemania lmao

Jake dm'ing a bunch of fighters!!!! This would be so fun holy dang.

I'm so excited to see what Jake will bring us as a new DM!!! Don't sweat the hard stuff and just have fun building a fun session! Jake is gonna do great!!!

God i fucking love murph talking about wrestling, thank you people who asked him about it and also thank you murph!

As someone who also stumbled into D&D in my 30s, I really relate to the feeling of loss and joy!! I couldn't believe that D&D hadn't been in my life the whole time!

So, I've never even heard of a 'frosted mini-wheat' as a non-American. So my money is on 'chair,' because THAT I have heard of.

Is there ever going to be another season of Hot Date?

Caldwell’s “I’m having less fun” was so relatable 😂

I'm so here for Emily's greek mythology album. Like it'll become my top played album immediately

+1 to an oops all fighters Jake one shot

Cigarette smell can be very nostalgic cuz my cousins and uncle smoked when I was a kid

Murph would totally be a Yule Lad

Mini-wheat rage in just 10 minutes. Chef's kiss.

You guys should totally check out Particle Ink in Las Vegas! It’s like the circus equivalent of what your described about sleep no more!

Riverboat Shanty is so good, I’ve listened to it enough times to land it in my Apple Music replay playlist before

Omg so hyped for new Emily tracks!!!!!! (Also murph hyping her up is so sweet we love love y’all 🥺)

Less than 8min and already so far off the rails down a rabbit hole with no hope of recovery. #teamchair

I was lucky enough to be at Wrestlemania. Murph is a huge part of the reason I even got back into wrestling. My fun story is that during night 2, Undertaker was sitting in the press box in our section. We all of course assumed he was just there as a fan. Our section all collectively turned around to look at the box when his bell rang. The pop hit even harder knowing we had been bamboozled.

Emily, I asked the question about sleep no more bc I’m a huge fan of it. Just wanted to let you know you absolutely didn’t fuck it up. That kind of thing happens ALL the time and the actors are totally trained in how to deal with it. I’ve been 15 times and I still end up on their way somehow! I’m glad to hear you had a good time, there is absolutely no wrong way to do the show!

Can’t wait for Jake’s DM debut!!

Would love to see the hexbuds back!!

Can’t wait to wade in the kiddie pool with Jake!!!

Grinch one shot! @Jake

Genuinely hyped about Jake's gritty all-fighters mini arc now

Jake encounter is on my calendar now!

I need Murph talking about Wrestlemania softly for hours to go to sleep to.

Would love to see Jake venture into the kiddie pool and dm a single encounter!

I forget the phrase for this, but I know that grocery stores overstock items to give the illusion of plenty and fecundity, so they intentionally buy more product than they intend to sell. There are many a mini wheat box that lie forever in wait, begging to be consumed. However, since mini wheats take a long time to expire, it's possible the vast majority are eventually purchased (though they could still go uneaten)

I wonder if Emily is listening to epic the musical at all and glad to know she's a fellow HADES FAN!!! DEATH TO KRONOS

Caldwell saying he would be "Rudolph, because I'm useful but nobody likes me" literally made me choke on my coffee, that shit was hilarious. Great picks on the questions, Jake!

So excited to hear about Emily's greek mythology music. Emily absolutely must check out Natile Haynes she is a British comiden and author and a classics scholar who has number of books and a brilliant BBC radio series called "Natile Haynes stands up for the classics" series 9 is all about greek gods and titans and is really interesting, funny and insightful. Particularly her deconstruction of the stories of Pandora, Medusa and Athena. Please if you can listen Emily I think you would love them.

bro I'm so filled with wonder from y'all hyping jake up to DM :::> such cuties, I kinda feel so hyped up too cause I feel the same hang-ups as him abt DMing!! You guys rock, man. Can't wait to listen to Emily's new songs too!!

Emily I’m begging you to release the Greek mythology album

I hope for the next mixed bag they watch sonic boom it’s just what Caldwell prophesied like 3 years ago when they watched sonic underground

The murdered knight’s daughter who takes up his position?? Quest for Camelot vibes. Love it Emily.

Jake, one thing that would be really fun is co-DMing like they do in dragon friends. You could play all the NPCs while another handles the crunchy stuff. That way you can learn while not having to take on the full burden.

Ohhhh Emily with the Hades 2 love ❤️🌒 I hope you had a chance to see some of the new stuff from the game's Technical Test!! Excited to hear your album whenever it's ready 🙌

Jake's game of thrones sounds really incredible

I would pay a bad amount of money to watch Murph stone cold stun someone at sleep no more

I think Caldwell's video game analogy for sleep no more was very apt, because I've been told that the *first* time you go through it's best to go the "normal" expected route, and then on subsequent visits you can freestyle more and more.

Caldwell is definitely the first great day in spring. He’s always cheery and optimistic, but there’s a lot of expectations of that day to encompass his worry.

🤣😂….. bruuuuuh.😂🤣 my family is side-eyeing me for how much i am laughing at Murph getting so mad at Caldwell for saying Frosted Mini Wheats count.

An Emily Axford Greek mythology album? Truly everything I want

Oo boy I want to hear Emily’s Greek mythology album

My friends and I played doomsday diaries last August for the meteor showers and I don’t know exactly why but it made the experience even better

So excited about that potential concept album!!

Emily's ability to bring up Baba Yaga in any conversation is an inspiration

I would looove to see Jake DM a one-shot or miniseries!!

Literally earlier today I was thinking, I wanna find an episode where Murph really goes off to listen to, and y'all went and uploaded a whole new one!!! Forever grateful 🙏🏻

The undertaker did what was right which was correct that cheating at wrestlemania wrestlemania is his turf and he did the right thing by stopping the rock as much as I love the rock

Now we need a Hearthside: Oops, All Jake! edition

Yeah, we’re gonna need them songs and that album

Caldwell is a vampire why does bro like the smell of blood

Ooh, I'd love to play a high medieval, low magic D&D game- that sounds rad as hell

Hearing Murph and Emily STARTED playing D&D around 30 years old was weirdly encouraging. I’m 30 now, and have been playing for about 4 years, having started in the pandemic. I feel heard now

I quit smoking probably close to a decade ago, but that little waft I get walking past a smoker always takes me back to standing in/outside a bar, at my absolute peak invincible mode.

If Jake’s eventual mixed bag encounter ep isn’t called “Get Out of the Granery” I don’t want it

I absolutely love it when Murph loses his shit...he's my spirit animal.....also I love how much of an enabler Caldwell is for it

Released this right as the snow started. Let me get my fireplace going!

They really have stopped putting in any effort to the Mixed Bags. Between the two surprise rounds and this thats 3/4 months of no effort.

Anyone else like the smell of skunk spray?

Yooooo! Jake, I love some low fantasy! Go for it man! I recently DM'd my first game at age 30, had a blast! You got this bro! Emily writing more music for Twilight Sanctorum? Is this confirmed that more TS is coming? Plz plz plz 🙏

Great episode! I think Jake will be a natural at DMing I'm stoked!

Hey gang, Gen Z-er here! Gotta agree with cigarettes smelling awesome, very nostalgic.

Cigarette/cigar smoke is definitely nostalgic lol

This my up vote for Jake running an encounter, oh please yes

You guys building up Jake to DM was so cute and sweet 🥺☺️💕

Wow, this is great

would absolutely go crazy for any of the music that emily talked about!

Frosted Mini Wheats may be available in multiple countries, but certainly not every country, so we're maybe talking like 1.5b people who have access to them? The # of servings is faulty though, as that sounds like it is only listing people who had 10 or more servings in a year (which completely wipes out mini single serving boxes, continental breakfast, Christmas Day Fruity Pebbles-esque occasional treats). And stores and warehouses have a lot more stock than is in homes-- at least double or triple what is currently sitting on top of fridges everywhere. But with chairs, consider that not only do we have individual chairs in people's houses, but also oceans of just folding chairs for every concert venue, high school gym, event venue, temple, mega church function, theatre, rec centre, etc. etc. in so many countries. Once you consider folding chairs for event usage worldwide, it absolutely obliterates Frosted Mini Wheats.

This is coming to me during inventory day and one of my employees quitting so I needed this!!!

having grown up with a smoking grandfather I get that nostalgia. But I hate it in cars so much

Just wanna say being one of the first here and then hearing my name up top blew my mind lol

Mini wheats I’m pretty sure are just an American cereal right?

I’m waiting for a flight, timing couldn’t be better

Lovely! Good time to go for a walk, thanks guys!

I burned my mixed bag and now my house is in shambles, please respond

Let me grab some hot cocoa!
