Surprise Round Questions!

The Grinch dies and chooses you to be the next Grinch. When you accept, you transform into the Grinch, but only on Christmas day. Now you have to steal kids’ presents and learn a lesson. However, for the rest of the year you NEVER get tired and you ALWAYS sleep well. Fine print: If you don’t learn a lesson on Christmas day, you die and return as a ghost until you choose a new Grinch. You can’t pass into the afterlife until you convince somebody to say yes. Do you do it?

You’re at a dinner party with your partner, some close friends, and the host’s new boyfriend. The host’s boyfriend is very friendly and nice, funny but not overbearing, and even though it’s new, its obvious your friend and him are in love. During dinner, you are sitting next to the boyfriend. In the middle of conversation, he leans over and drags a long hairy finger through your mashed potatoes and pops it into his smirking emerald snout. He is, of course, the Grinch. And he continues to blatantly eat off your plate. If you bring it up, or politely ask him to stop, everyone at the table is aghast at your rudeness, saying, “That’s just his way.” and making pointed glances and gestures towards him. You can’t quite tell if people are afraid of the Grinch, or offended that you’ve insulted him. The Grinch remains genial, even bashful or shy if you admonish him, but your friends will turn hostile if you escalate the situation. Do you stay for the rest of your (shared) dinner? And when the host approaches you at the end of the night as you head to your car to “clear the air” about how you treated their boyfriend (while the Grinch’s luminous eyes stare out at you from a window) how do you respond? Or: You are going to have a deeply embarrassing and unrecoverable incident of public indecency that will ruin your career and several close friendships - you have a clear premonition of this. The incident is accidental but unavoidably humiliating, unless: you are stung by X amount of bees. The Grinch (who else) offers you a dark deal, chose a number of bees to be stung by to avoid your fate. But just as you give your answer, the Grinch raises a fuzzy green brow and responds with a number one larger than what you’ve said. He does this every time you state your offer, exponentially increasing the bee stings. In this hypothetical, how many bee stings would outweigh your dignity? (for anyone with a bee allergy sensitive to the idea, you can swap in aggressive geese) The Grinch will only be satisfied if he feels you are nearly as upset by the deal as you would have been losing it all, but he does not want to kill you. You are almost certain of this.

How would you make coffee if gravity on Earth was similar to gravity on the moon? Struggling here.

How different were your College Humour 'Characters' from your true selves? Any favourites? Any LEAST favourites? (Don't worry Murph and Jake, you can skip DJ Mikey Michaels.)

You are alone in the forest. Would you rather encounter a strange man or an owlbear?

Fun! Okay, I'm probably a bit late so maybe I can suggest this next time, but no harm in throwing this around now anyway: You're at your wedding day right before the big kiss, holding hands with your beloved, beautiful vows have been shared, and the Officiant finally gets to the "You may now kiss the bride" part. You have a lovely kiss, friends and family celebrate, but right after the kiss you see the Officiant says "Up top!" and holds up their hand to you for a high-five. As this happens, for whatever reason, your phone in your pocket starts playing loud, off-putting sex noises. Moans, aggressive grunts, yelps, everything. You try to lower the volume, which doesn't work, but shut off your phone entirely as fast as you can given the shock. Things, understandably, feel awkward. Some members of the audience are doing their best to ignore what just happened, some can't make eye contact, some legitimately look disappointed. After a few beats sitting in this moment, the Officiant, also looking uncomfortable, looks back to you with a still confused but serious look as they wordlessly raise their arm back up for another attempt at a high-five with you. Do you try to offer any excuse to the audience and do you high-five the Officiant?

If like in the 80s DnD cartoon you were pulled into the game but it was a Naddpod campaign, which campaign would you want it to be and which character or class would you want to be?

What’s the worst thing that could happen at an orgy without it cumming to a stop?

YOOO the main feed finally gets to see the awesomeness that is Surprise Round. I know my is most definitely not likely to be seen out the 444 comments here. But i’ll still propose a query. If you could search through one person’s trash in the entire world who would it be?

You’re trapped on a deserted island with the naddpod cast. There is no food available. Would you give the other cast members permission to eat you if you died? If you needed to eat one of the other cast members (already dead), how long would you have to have done without food to justify it?

How many tropical/unusual birds would you have to see in an airport before you ask an employee if they're supposed to be there?

Oh no!! You’re trapped in a board game!! You have to win, or you’ll die IRL. What game are you picking??

Imagine, you’re in the middle of recording a campaign episode and someone knocks at the door. It’s the Grinch. He says that he is sorry but he has to come clean. He shows you a laptop that is logged in to thousands of Patreon accounts. The Grinch tells you that he is the only real fan you have and that he made all of these accounts because he loves the show and wants to make you feel good about yourselves. He also admits that he pays actors to attend all live shows. The Grinch then breaks down crying and says that he is losing interest and will only stay subscribed if you do a 100 episode Grinch themed campaign that you have to livestream while wearing Grinch costumes. He wants an answer by tomorrow at midnight. The Grinch then leaves with no address but says “you know where to find me”. What do you do?

You are having a very relaxing night with your partner and a small group of friends sitting around and listening to music. While you are in control of the aux, your partner requests that you play “hallelujah” but 30 seconds into the song, one of the people there (he was brought by another of your friends) says that he knows a better cover by an artist he just discovered. As he queues up the song and it begins playing you are nearly certain that he is the one singing this cover of “hallelujah” and it is not professionally recorded audio nor does it sound good. If pressed on this, he gets extremely defensive and refuses to admit that he made the cover. Nobody else in the group, including your partner, has spoken up to agree with you at all. Throughout the song, this guy keeps quietly whispering to you, asking what you think of it and will take any answer, positive or negative, extremely personally. If you respond positively to the music, he says he has more of it, and will try to sell you a CD at an unreasonable price and become despondent if you refuse. You think this may be his only source of income. How far are you willing to push the group (and your partner) to agree with you? Will you buy his CD? Will this cause a rift between you and your partner? If certain questions are asked, here are some follow-up answers: - this is clearly not a bit or prank. The singing is earnest - you can’t tell if nobody in the group agrees with you or if they don’t want to make a big deal about it -Your partner is the grinch, but refuses to talk about their past - this is your first time meeting this guy, your friend has never brought him before

Question for everyone, what is everyone favorite band RIGHT NOW , and ALL TIME ( idk how to bold this text)

If there were no possums in the crick what would be the alternative for paw paw?

what is one weird (but not bad or malicious) thing that you could find out about someone you've known and liked for a long time that would make you want to stop talking to them? Something that would make you say "maybe we should hang out less"

Would you rather your child (or cat) grow up to be very kind but sad, or very happy but selfish?

Favorite sanrio characters! If my brain has failed me and you've already done that, I suggest looking up Hagurumanstyle and Bogo the City Boy anyway.

Ewwwww lmao

If you could have any fictional beast for a pet which would you choose? Would Emily's be a butter jelly?

If you were to lead a cult for any reason, what are two tenets all followers (not necessarily you) must abide by?

You have been training to be an astronaut for a year. Finally the day comes where you board the rocket ship and take off. You and two other astronauts are headed to space to explore a new planet that was recently discovered. Nothing is known about the planet except that pictures of it show that it looks a lot like earth. The trip is uneventful, except that some of the gifts your loved ones gave you start to go missing. You can’t find them anywhere. When you land on the planet, you begin to realize that something is……wrong. You see furry green creatures scurrying around, but they move too quickly for you to make out what they actually are. Before you all leave the ship, Todd (one of your fellow astronauts) says, “this is my home planet. My ancestors were exiled here by the heartless ones.” “By who?” You say. “You dare speak their name?” Todd hisses. “What?” Todd yanks off his human disguise, much like in mission impossible, and you realize that Todd is the Grinch. You are on a planet with billions of Grinches. Grinch Todd says, “my brethren and I will be taking this ship. We will take back our caves on Planet Whoville. You can join us or you can die.” There is only enough fuel for one trip. If you join the Grinch on his mission for vengeance, you will not be able to return to earth. Do you join the Grinch or do you fight him? Outside the rocket ship, the grinches are howling.

I’m a high school teacher, so I’m selfishly curious… aside from basic curriculum, what do you think is important to teach the younglings?

You're out at the club with a friend and see a hallway that you think leads to another dance floor; upon entering it, you and your friend find yourselves in an ornate chamber, with gold filigree, intricate frescos, and lush tapestries. In the center of the room is a table with various golden weapons on it and a plaque addressing your friend as Sir [their full legal name] and telling them to "choose a weapon and seek their destiny." Your friend chooses a weapon and immediately vanishes, leaving a table of weapons and a plaque which is now addressed to YOU (otherwise bearing the same message). Do you pick a weapon in hopes that you follow your friend or do you call the police? (From a real conversation I had with a scenario-loving friend; under no circumstances would she choose a weapon and under no circumstance could I be stopped from choosing one.)

Chocolate milk and Code Red Mountain dew 50-50 mixture? Yes or no

You're watching the Grinch one night with your girlfriend, who is the Grinch, on christmas eve when suddenly the Grinch comes in and starts stealing the Grinch plushie presents you got your Grinchfriend. When you stand up to confront the Grinch you see in the reflection of a Grinch shaped mirror that you, yourself, are the Grinch. By confronting the Grinch you are also confronting your Grinchfriend and yourGrinchself. Do you allow the Grinches to take ur Grinches or do you Grinch out the rest of ur Grinch life leaving behind the Grinches you got for your Grinches? PS Max is also the Grinch. PSS I dont play DnD, hate the show.

You live on a desert planet with 12 giant Dragon turtles that aimlessly roam it's surface. On their backs are oasisies and cities. Dragonborn of each color, a race of desert tortles, and a city of misfits and rejects are the occupants of these cities. Every 10 years these Dragon turtles meet up in a location and the cities present their participants for the "Games". You enter in as participants for one of the tribes. LET THE GAMES BEGIN! (this is something I plan on doing at some point as it is a planet in my homebrew world Havar, but I thought it might be interesting to see your take on it 😊)

You are watching TV one day when suddenly theres a breaking news. The Grinch™️ has taken an entire restaurant hostage and the police have gotten his demands. He asked to be Pardoned for all his crimes, for all the trash they can get in an hour, and FOR YOU BY NAME to come pick him up and drive him away. Do you help The Grinch™️?

You have somehow ended up in a hostage scenario where YOU have taken hostage(s) anytime you try and de-escalate the situation something goes horribly wrong ala Final Destination instantly killing either a hostage, an innocent bystander, or an officer. They somehow get you in communication with a negotiator… what are your demands?

It's a normal day in the 'Tudio when Murph gets up and excuses himself to use the bathroom. After being gone for a concerning amount of time, he returns in a period accurate 1970s naval officer's dress whites, with a high and tight haircut that has clearly been hastily bleached, and dyed gray. He now insists on being called "Admiral Murphy". When asked about it, he simply says "What's with the third degree? I just thought I'd try out a new look. I thought it would be alright with you guys, but clearly you have a problem with experimentation." What do you do?

Fuck, it got Grinchy in here.

You’re in a room with one other person. One song is being played on repeat, and the first one to leave the room loses. You can’t cover your ears or turn the speaker down. What song would you pick to win?

Which Olympic sport would you be most ready to participate in?

What animal would you animorph (animurph) into?

You witness your pet transform into the most attractive person you've ever seen. They start flirting with you. Your significant other notices this and sends you a discrete text saying "Look, I get it. Make your move" Do you flirt back?

On the headgum podcast (not that I watch) it was revealed that Jake doodles during his recordings. One was flashed to the camera - a disproportioned man holding a sword. Jake, would you show off some of these drawings to your fellow hosts and fans? Or would you forever cower in Caldwell’s shadow as the rat artist we suspect you to be? All my love to the 8bbc hosts

Hi sweeties, you're in Montreal for a live show (subtle plug), what are you eating before the show: Poutine, Smoked Meat Sandwich, Anything Mapple Syrup?

I’d love to know from a business perspective. Would you ever consider making a dnd book for thr Bahumia campaign? Something interesting for an additional stream of revenue with no additional effort afterwards.

Hay not really a question but I just wanted to let y’all know that this podcast helped me have a good laugh in some very hard days, thank you for being so helpful and funny.

You are a member of a firing squad preparing to execute one war criminal. Standing before you with their hands tied behind their back are Luigi, Tails, and Gex’s girlfriend. Only one of them is the actual war criminal, and the other two are innocent, but they are all claiming innocence. Which one do you execute?

The four of you are forming a band. Which instrument from DND would each of you play? The shawm? The yarting? What’s it gonna be?

You are suddenly granted a superpower of your choice. However, after deciding, the person to your left (in a circle) gets to choose the side-effect of your power, which affects its every use. The side-effect cannot be ignored nor nullified. What superpower do you choose?

OH IVE GOT AN EVEN BETTER ONE you’re at your father’s deathbed. he was always a quiet, stern, and sullen man, and never spoke about his life before he settled down with your mother and had you. you and all your close relatives are gathered at his bedside as he is about to pass. he gets to have a moment with each member of the family, and finally it’s your turn. you hold his hand, and he grips yours, and he tells you he’s proud of you for all that you’ve accomplished. you say you love him, and as he breathes in to respond, his brow furrows and his gaze drifts from your face and he says: “is that…the grinch? no, no not again…” and dies, still holding your hand. i wrote all that out and realized that there isn’t really a ‘question’ in this hypothetical situation other than ‘wouldn’t that be fucked up or what?’ but i’ll still submit it for review

okay so you’re caving while on vacation because it’s been on your partner’s bucket list their whole life and the golden Caving Opportunity came up. you’re in a group and there’s a local tour guide leading you and the cave is reportedly very very safe and there’s never been a caving accident there. an hour into the tour, however, you hear movement behind the group and turn around. and there, just at the edge of the tour guide’s lamplight, staring right at you out of the darkness, is The Grinch. he doesn’t seem immediately hostile, but he’s making direct eye contact with you. do you say anything to the group? (no additional details)

Fred Flinstone vs 15 year old Hardwon?

Which fish/water creature are you? Is Murph an anemone? A handfish? Perhaps some type of crab? I have to know

If you lived in a world of maniacal tyrants who sought ridiculous means to an end in pursuit of (wealth, power, love, knowledge) [anime villain style] what would you want to see, what would your ultimate quest be. P.S this was inspired by me chasing my gym to cancel after I had contacted them months prior, and a hypothetical situation where the gym manager could claim I have continued to use my membership by creating a simulacrum of me to make it appear that I kept attending the gym on the CCTV. And this would be a perfectly evil money making scheme, because, who could prove this madness? Your honour, I rest my case.

Hypothetically, how much Murph would a Murphchuck chuck if a Murphchuck could chuck Murph?

If you got as many wishes as fingers and thumbs you have but you have to break a finger/thumb off each time you use a wish and you can’t wish back any fingers/thumbs how many wishes would you use before stopping? Standard genie rules. What would you wish for?

Does Murph hate Emily wearing a bucket hat more than he believes you must honor the cock or vice versa?

If you could go to any fictional world as you with your knowledge and skills where would go? Same question but this time you can choose what you want to be in that fictional world so as an example you could choose Mutant, Avenger, Jedi or power ranger etc.

Would you rather have to eat two medium sized potatoes as part of every meal for the rest of your life or be transported back to the time of the Irish Potato famine and have to live there for 7 years. Once that’s done, you’ll be transported to the present, but you don’t know as much while you’re in the past

An emerging biotech company approaches you asking if you would like to undergo surgery to get a tail. You do all the research, and they’re above board, and insurance would cover most of the surgery. You can get any kind of tail (dog, monkey, lizard) and it can be prehensile but doesn’t have to be. However, this is an emerging technology so the world is not yet built to be accessible to people with tails but it might become more common as time goes on. Would you get a tail? If so, what kind? If no, why not?

Your friend Jake invites you over to a dinner party at his house. Over the course of the meal his wife Jill starts casually mentioning a new guy she's dating and will start talking about him more and more. First question: What do you do? Do you pry at all? Second question: Jill says that he'll be stopping by after dinner and really wants to introduce you. Do you stay? Third question: If you stay eventually The Grinch shows up and they are all over each other. What do you do and how long do you stay?

This question is for Caldwell. I just started listening to eldermourne and I am wondering if Shank is a haki man? Does he eventually use a haki domain expansion? Much love xoxo

You are transported back to a decade filled with good vibes, cheech and chong, and Nixon's resignation from presidency, the 70's. Specifically the exact location and date of the first ever game of dnd to be played/workshopped. But instead of Gary Gygax and David Arneson sitting at the table, it's the Grinch, sitting alone in a basement. the table before him covered in the newly released skittles and sprite zero sugar as well as a handful of poorly optimised premade character sheets . Behind him is a closet that rocks and muffles as though something (or someone) is inside. He asks you ignore it, and invites you to play a game with him so he can "really grinch up this game". And he gets really mad if you ask more about the closet. What do you do.

What is the most useless “superpower” you could have? My favorite one I’ve ever come up with is the ability to weigh anything. I don’t mean that you can suddenly weigh as much as a clown car at 50% capacity, but you could walk up to said clown car, touch it, and know its exact weight in whatever unit of measure you wish.

Late one night after a show, the four of you wander from the venue and hear a whisper from an adjacent alley. At the end of the alley are Moonshine, Hardwon, Beverly and Brian Murphy. Alley Murph looks disheveled and desperate but is definitely Murph. while the other three look like picture perfect cosplays of your characters. Murph explains he fucked yo and needs help while telling you to come down the alley. What do you do?

theseus has a ship and over the years it begins to break down and he replaces parts of that ship. eventually every piece of the ship has been replaced. is it still theseus’s ship?

You are visiting your family for the hoglidays. After traveling all day, you have finally arrived to your parent’s house at 10:30pm on Christmas Eve. Your mother answers the door, and welcomes you in. She informs you that your father is working late tonight, but rest assured he would never miss Christmas. The house is wonderfully decorated, and is exactly as it was when you were a child. You place the gifts you brought under the tree, and notice there are no other gifts. Strange, but perhaps your parents are keeping the Christmas tradition alive and waiting until you go to bed. You awake Christmas Day, downstairs presents are bountiful. Standing next to the tree is your mother and father, except your father is not how you remember him, he is instead a full grown Grinch. Your mother explains that everything is fine and this is how he always was. You can hear the cries of children outside, as apparently, all their gifts were taken. Do you accept your new Grinch father and his ill gotten gains or return these presents to the children and explain that your dad has become a literal Grinch?

My favorite one to make everyone groan, do you think a hotdog is a sandwich?

How many of you would be required to fight, and defeat a bear? What are the roles of each participant?

Grinch Grinch Grincher: Grinch Grinch Grinch Grinchy Grinchity, Grinch Grinching. Grinched Grübchen Grinchity Grinch Grinch Grunch Grinch Grinch? Brian Murphy Grinching Grinchy. Grinch Emily Axford? Grinch Jake Hurwitz? Grinchy Grinchity Caldwell Tanner Grinched (war crimes). Grinch, Grinchity Grinch Grunch.

To Cake/everyone, You have been given a chance to headline wrestlemania 41. It’s the 4 of you vs. hardwon circa tales from the crick. (Pawpaw is of course the ref)…. Do you play by the rules… or do you fight dirty

Hi everyone! I have hopefully a fun, bizarre querie for you all. Do you think milk is a technically a juice since the process of making juice is just squeezing out the liquid trapped inside something.

This is for all 5 of you, including spouses (or all 7 of you if Jill and Tucker decide to participate). You’re put on a reality style tv show, and split into marital teams. The objective is to create a business that makes the most money in 1 year. Your starting capital is either $10 million, or half a billion grills. 1) How does your business make its money? 2) How much money does your business make? 2.5) Does Jake’s business make enough money for Jill to leave Tucker for good and come home to Jake (or, I guess, let Jake come home)?

You are running late to an important business meeting, and your car wont start so you use Uber to call a car to transport you on a 35 minute drive. You connect to a driver named Beebo who has a clown profile picture and is driving a classic model Volkswagen Beetle. Sure enough, Beebo picks you up in full clown attire, and when you open the door you realize that there are eight other clowns in the car. You did not select Uber Pool. As you step into the car, Beebo hands you a craft soda from a cooler, and gestures to a small bin of 8-tracks with excellent music choices for you to pick from. The clowns are able to give you eight inches of personal space the entire ride by contorting their bodies. If you make a joke, they all honk little bike horns, but they are all otherwise quiet and respectful for the trip. You do occasionally catch a clown make eye contact with you in the reflection of the window, but they seem to be mostly ambivalent to you. You arrive promptly, and Beebo obeys all the traffic laws (aside from having eight passengers.) Do you report Beebo to Uber for bringing eight additional passengers? If not, what star rating do you give Beebo?

If things went south, the world becomes a radioactive wasteland and we all unite in a underground civilization (with a mole king and everything) what object do you think will become our new type of currency and why no rocks?

Rent is increasing and you need a roommate for at least a year, these are your only applicants: 1) Dipsy the Green Teletubbie, but they are a very vocal flat earther. 2) Captain Underpants, but he's always the Captain and he's upgraded to one of those tight, form fitting swimsuit underwear. 3) Goldmember from Austin Powers, but he refuses to sell ANY of his gold for extra expenses and occasionally asks for skin flakes, but will accept a no, but will still ask.

If you could be freaky fridayed with one of the other members of the 2 crew, who could you impersonate most seamlessly, without their friends and loved ones noticing?

Would you rather be a falcon/hawk or an owl? And what species would you be? I would like to be a barn owl because they can fly completely silently! P.s I love listening to the podcast while running service calls on refrigerators #smeg P.p.s hate the show

Aliens land and let us know that a cosmic event is going to destroy our planet. They can save us and one other species; which species do you pick?

Grinch Bike 🏍️ 💀🔥 (This is a real story, I have photos, check my pfp.) It’s a Thursday evening. You and your partner are on the way to Stoners Pizza. You are hungry but excited. As you are driving down the highway, you see a strange pickle green and mustard yellow truck (John Deere style) pulling up beside you. As you make eye contact with the old toothless driver, he yells at you and points behind him. You notice the load he is hauling. Hooked to the back of the truck is a stuffed Cowboy Grinch with a SNATCHED waist strapped to what can only be described as a chain mail motorcycle rodeobull ghost rider. You can tell the Grinch means business as there is a skull on the front of his infernal machine, two guns at his side, and the American flag waving proudly behind him. A fork in the road approaches: you must choose to get your Stoners Pizza or follow the Grinch and learn more. What do you do?

What’s the largest number of geese you could take on and still win?

Lets say you have kids going to a nice private school you pay for, your kid loves it and it seems they are learning alot and doing well but one day your kid comes home DEVASTATED that he wasnt grinch enough, the more you ask to understand he gets intensely more upset. Calling the school they just say he wasnt grinch enough without explanation, what do you do?

how do ya'll feel about the tattoos that people get for nadpod!

Picture this: a cosmic hiccup causes the bodies of the Grinch, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Fred Flintstone to swap, oppa Freaky Friday style. Now, chaos reigns supreme as the Grinch, with Sonic's speed, tears through Caldwell’s hometown at supersonic speeds threatening to ruin the surprise “caking out” party for Jake. Regardless, Jill and Tucker aren’t planning on being there, but it’s still a big deal. Sonic struggles to navigate Bedrock with Fred's hefty stone age physique, and Fred finds himself trapped in the Grinch's green fur, plotting mischief with every crooked smile in Whoville. The three have never met and don’t understand what’s going on. 2/3 are having a good time, but 1/3 is having a REALLY good time and doesn’t want to go back. You possess a multiverse transporter and can each choose one item from any existing media to help them shift back. However, time travel is strictly forbidden, and cosmic entities won't touch this hot mess with a ten-foot pole. So, what's your plan to unravel this cosmic calamity and restore order to the universe?

What could y'all house a pint of?

Choosing only from pro wrestlers- In the Naddpod feature film, who would be cast to play Emily, Murph, Caldwell, and Jake?

So you’re in the forest all you have is a survival knife would you rather face two full grown grizzly bears or one T Rex

You see a deviled egg on a windowsill, do you eat it? Why would it be there if you weren't supposed to eat it?

You wake up with a miserable stomach ache after having a dream in which a younger version of yourself warned you never again to eat certain foods. You think they told you about 10 different foods, but you can’t be sure of which ones they were. Do you eat anything ever again? If you do, how do you choose what to eat?

Fuck, marry, kill: The Undertaker Stone Cold Steve Austin The Grinch

Would you rather have 100 cats or 38 horses.

Hello friends! If your partner was turned into a worm and you could either: A. Become a worm and love each other beyond human conception Or B. Remain a human and be able to make sure your worm partners live a long healthy, happy worm life ....which would you choose? P.s. you guys are the reason I got into DnD and this podcast has kept me company on many lonely days. Thank you so much for all you do! ❤️

Would you rather have a dog with grinch hands, or a cat with the Grinch's face?

You are given a first class ticket for you and a few friends and/or family, plus an all-expenses paid vacation to the destination. You board the airplane and are seated with your companion(s). Because you are in first class you're seated first, but you don't notice anyone else lining up for the flight. As your ticket is checked the person gives you a worried, almost pitiful look, but doesn't say anything. After you're seated with your bags stowed you notice a planes worth of Oompa-Loompas start to board. Each one of them gives you a dirty, disgusted, or downright hateful glance, but doesn't say anything. If you try and address them they ignore you. You notice that none of them are allowed to sit in first-class and get the sense that you might be the reason. As you're sitting there you can feel them staring at you. You know that if you get up and leave you'll miss out on this opportunity. If you ask your companion about it they don't think it's weird and are really insistent that you go. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and they think you're being paranoid if you say you want to get off. The flight crew will serve you but refuse to address the Oompa-Loompas. They act possibly overly nice and still give you those worried glances and pitiful looks. Do you stay on the plane.

hello 8bit book club and that one guy from headgum, Suppose you’re in the avatar the last air bender universe. What element do you think you would bend (air, earth, fire, water) or would you not be able to bend at all?

You get your dream job it's everything you ever wanted but you know that on the way there you're going to hit your head and get far an accent syndrome not only that but the accent you get will be ridiculous not only that but you'll never be able to convince anyone you're not doing a bad offensive Accent on purpose do you take it

You get given whatever your idea of perfect genitalia is, looks the way you wanted to Smells the way you wanted to work the way you wanted to all the time 100%. But once every blue moon you turn into the Grinch and it's a long and ridiculous transformation.

You hear a noise coming from outside your house around 10:00 at night. You turn on the light and look outside and you see someone in a grinch costume taking a shit on your lawn. As you turn on the light they turn around surprised and you notice that it's your therapist. You've been seeing them for awhile and they've been really helpful. Do you continue seeing them do you bring it up? Additional info: If pressed about it your therapist just says that it wasn't personal, and this is really important for his mental health but refuses to elaborate.

🦒🐆🚀 Imagine a rocketship flying competition between a giraffe and a leopard. Both the animals have a specific ship for their body structures and have been highly trained on how to fly their rocketship. But, on the day of the competition, they are mixed up, in a way that the giraffe is put on the leopard-ship and the leopard on the giraffe-ship. Who would win the rocketship flying competition? PS. A lot of love from a brazillian naddpole ❤️🇧🇷

If you had to survive one full year in the last video game you played on the average difficulty do you think you think that you could make it the full year. Now hold your thoughts because you don't get any powers unless it's from gear you can find and the Grinch is hunting you down starting after the first week.

You are on a long road trip with a handful of your closest friends. It’s getting late, so you stop for gas, food, and a hotel for the night in a small town you’ve never heard of. At the gas station, you notice the clerk is dressed in a full grinch costume. You then go to a diner, where every single patron and staff member is also dressed as the grinch. You ask the host “what’s up with the costumes? Is there a convention in town or something?” The host looks offended and curtly says “no,” and does not elaborate any further. From then on, you can feel every grinch staring at you menacingly, but every time you look at someone they quickly look away. Every time you try to bring it up, your friends brush it off and tell you not to disrespect their culture. You finish your meal and go to the hotel, which is also staffed and patronized exclusively by grinches. The grinches here are also staring at you and the energy is weird. When you go up to the counter, before you have a chance to speak, the receptionist (grinch) says “Hello,” calls you by your full legal name, and says “We have a very special room for you tonight.” They try to hand you a keycard without taking any of your information. Your friends just want to get to the room already, and they “don’t understand why you’re being so weird about this.” The next town is another 60 miles away. Do you stay the night, or do you insist on making your whole group continue to the next town?

It’s Saturday morning and your mom asks you to come over to have a serious conversation. After making some tea she sits you down, gently peels off her face, and reveals that she is in fact the grinch. He explains that when you were very young your mother ran away and abandoned you, and he (the grinch) decided to take her place but he never knew how to tell you. You have memories of your real mother but the bio-mom and grinch-mom memories are tangled together in a complicated emotional web of love and lies. You have loved grinch-mom longer than you ever even knew your bio-mom. Grinch-mom raised you to be the person you are today. Do you look for your real mom and disavow the grinch? Or do you embrace this revelation and forgive the grinch because you know deep down that being a single mom is the hardest and most rewarding job in the world.

You are in dire need of a kidney and the doctors just let you know they found a willing donor with a perfect match. He is the Grinch however. When you meet him he seems really reluctant to give you his kidney and is making a big fuss about it. If you decide not to go with the Grinch you will have to wait for the next donor and the risks with that. If you say yes the surgery will be very successful. However now the Grinch is very annoyingly in your life. Always asking for super inconvenient things, like taking him to the airport at 230 in the morning, or asking you to let his Grinchy friends stay at your place. If you refuse these things he gets grumpy and says well I did give you my kidney. Which do you choose?

You work for the health department, and regularly go to restaurants to compose health inspections. It is nearing the evening, and your boss calls you and asks that you inspect one last restaurant before you go home for the day. Hesitantly, you oblige. The restaurant has a reputation for the best food in the area, and is quite fancy. Once inside, you notice the head chef looks extremely nervous, and he hides in the back. You find him talking to himself, and after taking a closer look, you see him talking to a miniature Grinch on top of his head. After he notices you’re there, he puts his chef hat back on and asks “Hey, you didn’t see anything, right?” Besides the head chef, the restaurant passed your inspection with flying colors. Do you report this finding, or do you turn a blind eye?

You are telepathically greeted by a cat while walking down the street. The cat offers a one time opportunity to be given the power to communicate telepathically with all cats for the rest of your life. However, all cats you encounter will be aware of this ability and will talk to you as long as you're around them. In this scenario, it can be assumed that cats understand the workings of the human world and will be eager to talk about their observations, given the opportunity to communicate with a human. You will likely have several fun cat convos, but you also might be told too much about your friends' and family members' vices, sex lives, etc. by their cats, manipulated by cats trying to further their own agendas, or, perhaps most painfully, shunned by cats that just don't like you very much. Do you accept the cat's offer?

One day, you open your fridge and there is a carton of rotten eggs in your fridge. You don’t remember buying them, but you decide you probably just forgot. About 3 weeks later, this happens again, and continues to happen, more and more frequently until you are finding rotten eggs every time you open your fridge. What do you do, and how long is it until you do something?

You are legally required to get a tattoo of a NADDPOD character quote. What (and where) would yours be?

You’re walking around San Diego with your spouse on a lovely day trip. Suddenly, Tony “The Birdman” Hawk skates up to you, and says he is on a new television show called “Hawklings Take Flight”, pointing at a camera crew hiding in plain sight across the street. The point of the show is that Tony Hawk take random people to his private vert ramp nearby and if you can drop in, you win $50,000. If you don’t make it, you still get a signed Tony Hawk skateboard, but are still shown on television slamming and eating shit, because you have to sign an on-camera appearance agreement before being taken to Tony Hawk’s private ramp in the first place, making him not liable for any injury you will most certainly take. If you don’t drop in at all, you get nothing and Tony Hawk gives you a sad and disappointed look, saying towards camera “I thought you could be rad, but now, you’re making me sad.” Do you say yes to the show? And if you do, what is going through your mind standing at the top of the 12 foot ramp, foot over board?

How are we feeling on a swag tattoo for Saul? Maybe on his ass?

You are planning on going to a party at 8pm. Before the party, you get a flawless and accurate premonition that you will meet Dwayne the Rock Johnson. As part of this premonition, you know that you and the Rock will hit it off and have a blast all night, but that you will be completely incapable of remembering any portion of his name. His name will be on the tip of your tongue all night, but even if you hear it, you'll forget it moments after. You also know that if you ever ask him his name, or let him know you don't know it, he'll think you're trying to big dog him and he'll get very aggressive. For years, the Rock will hold a grudge and attempt to wield his stardom to sabotage your relationships in the podcasting and entertainment world. If you make it to 2am at the party, you'll be able to remember his name again, and he'll be a friendly acquaintance for the rest of your life. Do you attend the party and fumble through hours of pretending to know what the Rock's name is?

One day your partner is transformed into a "little green guy". They are essentially the same person, but very rich and you never want for anything ever again. The one caveat is that you must move into a mansion and you often hear them giggling and scampering around in the air ducts. Would you stay with them? All credit goes to my husband, who asks me new versions of this question regularly.

You have acute appendicitis and are rushed to the hospital. When you arrive, the surgeon comes into your room along with Adam Sandler who is also dressed in scrubs. The surgeon explains that Adam is preparing for a new movie where he will be playing a surgeon. The studio has paid the hospital a lot of money for Adam Sandler to be able to work as a surgeon under a real surgeon’s supervision. Adam Sandler steps forward, explains your condition and what the surgery will entail. He does so seemingly flawlessly with the real surgeon standing behind him nodding approvingly. Adam Sandler tells you that he has performed a few surgeries the last couple of months but no appendectomies. He says he can’t reveal the types of surgeries or outcomes due to the agreement between the studio and the hospital. You can opt to go to another hospital, but there’s a 50/50 chance your appendix will rupture before you get to the other hospital. Do you let Adam Sandler operate on you under the supervision of a real surgeon or do you insist on going to another hospital?

Balnor gets transported into our world and invites you all to Bahumia. You can choose to accept it but Balnor explains that you will remain the same with no magical abilities and will essentially have Commoner stats. He will bring you to a city of your choice and give you enough gold to live a modest lifestyle for a week. Afterwards, you will need to figure out how to survive on your own in this world. Perishing in Bahumia brings you back to the real world at the same time you left Narnia style with no way to return.

You are out on a sunny day at the park when you feel a weird wave of energy pass over you. It is not painful and you do not have any side effects. The next day two people show up at your door who claim to be from the international defense agency Snow Force and tell you that you've been accidentally struck by Grinch-onic Waves, a technology that grants you superhuman abilities. They need you to join them to fight the incoming alien threat the Whooligans. You assume this is a joke until the Whooligans land outside your door, destroying your neighbors house completely. One of the Snow Force members turns into a Red Grinch ala the Power Rangers and fights them off but not without causing several explosions and extensive property damage. - They are unable to fix the Grinchonic Wave generator in time for the next invasion, it is faster to train you for combat - You MUST turn into a Grinch to fight the Whooligans, you do not get to choose the color - They CANNOT form the King Grinch Robot if you back out - Red Grinch is a special forces agent, the rest of the team is the same as you and has no prior fighting experience. Would you join the Grinch Rangers?

You gain the ability to teleport anywhere on earth, and you are even able to bring others with you. However, in order to properly charge uses of this ability, you must seek out and attend any MLM salespitch or timeshare presentation of at least an hour in length. You don't need to buy anything at the sales pitch or presentation, but you do need to stay until the salesperson is done talking. Each person teleported costs one additional charge of the ability. If you attempt to game the system at all, the next time you attempt to teleport, instead of going to your intended destination you instead arrive in Forbes' fifth-ranked most miserable city in America; Sacramento, California. Eight of your closest friends learn you have this ability, and without your knowledge plan a luxury trip to a place you have always wanted to go, or your favorite location you've visited before. The deposit is non-refundable. They pay for every part of the vacation (an expensive hotel, fancy meals and sightseeing) on the assumption that you will teleport them all there and back. The trip is in two months. Do you sit through 18 hours of MLM salespitches / timeshare presentations in able to accommodate this?

You have gone on a couple dates with someone that have gone well. They invite you to go on a hike. On the drive to the trailhead, your date mentions they have some "business" on the trail today. When you arrive at the parking lot, they warn you to keep an eye out for clumps of green fur, and press a can of pepper spray into your hand. If you press for details, they say something to the effect of, "I have a personal matter to settle with someone, and I'm finally right on his tail." Do you go on the hike?

You’ve matched with someone on a dating app. You hit it off instantly and go on a few dates with them. They are funny and loving and you’re very attracted to them. A perfect match. Things get more serious. Eventually you get serious enough that the idea of moving in together becomes a reality. One day you see their reflection in a mirror and in their reflection you see Fishstick from Fortnite (the orange animated fish humanoid). It’s uncanny how perfectly the reflection moves like them but looks exactly like Fishstick in full gear regardless of what your partner is wearing. Once you see this reflection you start to see your partner as Fishstick in pictures and videos of them too. Despite no one else ever batting an eyelash at their reflection or pictures the amount of times they appear as Fishstick to you seems to be escalating. Other than that you couldn’t be happier or more in love. They take you out to dinner and ask you to move in with them. When they touch your hand lovingly you suddenly feel that their hand is slimy and scaly even though it looks normal. What do you do?

You’re 2 hours into recording a livestream one-shot with Brennan Lee Mulligan, Jasper William Cartwright, Matt Mercer, and Joe Biden. Suddenly, you mistrust a fart and shit your pants. Would you keep going? And would you do anything to hide this fact from the others at the table?

Alternatively, he starts putting all of your items back on the shelves, do you stop him?

Your sibling has just had their first child, of whom you have been named the sole godparent. The pregnancy was long and tough on your sibling and their partner due to a series of stressful complications, but now the child is here and is happy and healthy. When it is time for you to meet your new godchild, you see that they are covered in green hair and have big yellow eyes much like that of the Baby Grinch. What the fuck do you do?

A distant relative that you don’t know has included you in their will. You receive a Staples “That Was Easy” Button. Whenever you push the button good fortune and luck comes to you to improve a bad situation. The person that will improve the situation the most in that moment enters the situation through natural means like walking through a door or arriving in a car. Whoever the best person for the job will show up. Be it a friend, a stranger with authority, your mom, or even Keanu Reeves. You can use this at home, work, in public, wherever and for any reason you can think of. There is always a 1% chance that the Grinch will show up instead and actively do everything in his power to make the situation worse. No one else can see the Grinch. No one ever questions how the positive experiences happen, as long as you can get away with pushing the button. The Grinch is completely imperceivable by all except you. Do you use the button?

A ghost appears in your home and tells you he died in 1850. You 100% know he is lying, he knows zero facts about the time and clearly knows what electronics are. He is super clingy and makes it hard to get work done, but your partner finds him charming. To ascend ghosts need to know their killer. You think he is lying to throw you off the trail so he can stay forever. What do you do?

You all get an email saying you are still contractually obligated to do one more sponsored video for CollegeHumor, this time for Orbitz Birthday Cake bubblegum. What do you pitch for the video?

You get the ability to animorph. You get the abilities of any animal you choose, and everything works (flight, swimming, keen vision, smell, etc.) You also may permanently change, like in the books. The catch is you physically are at that buck wild halfway point where the human is still there but it's super unsettling.

You are visiting a new friend and see a spider in the corner of their living room. Obviously, you don't leave the house. Then you see another one in the hallway. Two spiders won't make you leave, though. You're made of stronger stuff. But you keep finding more. How many spiders can you tolerate before telling your new friend, "Sorry, but this isn't working for me, I'm out"?

You’re doing a NADDPOD live show and you see Gillian Anderson, Vin Diesel, The Undertaker, Cody Rhodes, Lionel Messi, Hayao Miyazaki, and Sonic the Hedgehog all sitting in the front row. Do you acknowledge any of them during the show, and if so, who?

What D&D character would you create for the sole purpose of making Murph or Brennan's life unbearable?

A friend sets you up on a blind date, saying they know someone who would be perfect for you, there is so much in common. At the restaurant, you are waiting at the table and the host seats your date, who is wearing a full Jim Carey Grinch costume. If you mention it, they will regard it as normal clothing, saying “this is what I always wear” and your friend will say they didn’t think you were so superficial if you bring it up to them. The date goes incredibly well, this could truly be your soulmate, but you understand they will always be in a grinch outfit. Do you ask them on a second date?

I always ask this as a fun ice breaker: What minor super power would you like to have? It would make your day to day more enjoyable or convenient but no government is calling on you to save the world.

Would You Rather: 1. ALWAYS have hummus in your fridge (type is unfortunately random but skews towards divisive flavors such as cilantro, sorry, wish I could do something:/). 2. You always know the right thing to say to a close friend who is mourning the loss of a pet (your ability to console people is identical to your current form regarding the loss of human life).

Would you rather: only be able to be a passenger with every bus driver, train conductor, pilot, Uber driver, ferry captain etc. being the Grinch? His track record is perfect, and he's treated with reverence by other passengers, and especially the crew. Whenever encountered by active members of the armed forces, they salute him as though he outranks them, up to and including generals and admirals. People eventually associate your presence with the Grinch, who never operates vehicles unless you are a passenger. OR Always have a live goose in the car every time you need to drive? You are allowed to remove the goose, but if you hurt the goose, the vehicle will not start. The goose is not angry with you to begin with, but it does not want to leave the vehicle. If allowed to ride on either the lap of the driver, or passenger riding shotgun, the goose will give flawless directions in English even accounting for traffic, and road closures. These directions will consistently get you to your destination earlier than expected. If placed in the back the goose will be a perfectly behaved passenger, but make snide remarks about the route you choose. When left alone with the vehicle, the goose will defend it adamantly, and will be unaffected by temperature, no matter how hot the interior of the car gets. If the goose is removed, it will reappear when the vehicle is left unattended, no matter how far it is from where the goose was left.

You are cursed to be a sentient chess piece, but you can choose whether to communicate with humans or other chess pieces. If you pick humans you can talk psychically to someone you can see and they can talk back to you. All other chess pieces in the world are normal, inanimate chess pieces. If you pick chess pieces, all pieces in the world become sentient and you can talk to each other, but they're all in character - footsoldiers, king, queen, etc. They don't know humans exist and nothing you say will convince them. Humans can't hear you. What do you choose: chatting with chess pieces or talking to human people?

You’re super excited to go to your favorite restraunt for your birthday. The food there is so good but when you sit down to order the menu is the exact same except all of their drinks are replaced with muscle milk. Nothing but muscle milk in three different flavors but everything else is the same. do you order some?

It's your birthday party. All your friends are at your place and have brought you gifts. Everyone is gathered in a circle and are giving you gifts one at a time. Eventually, one friend hands you a box slowly and carefully and says "I should warn you, it's 400 bees, so be careful opening it." You laugh thinking it's some kind of joke. But no one around the room is laughing. A different friend perks up and says "Hey, he's been working really hard on this gift for you, laughing is kind of mean." Any further attempt you make to question the nature of the gift or joke about 400 bees is met with earnest warning to be careful with the 400 bees and complete seriousness and stoicism from the rest of the party. You want to shake the box to see if there's really bees in there, because you don't feel any movement just while holding it. But you don't want to anger the 400 bees, or break the gift if it's not bees and instead something fragile. Do you open the gift?

You get 1,000,000 dollars, but for the rest of your life anytime you poop the sound plays in everyone's head. Everyone meaning literally everyone on earth. It does not work on people who are asleep, so don't worry about waking people up.

You wake up one day and all transportation has been replaced by buses. If you ask anyone about this they look at you like you’re crazy and say it’s always been this way. There is no public transportation and all buses are only allowed to have one seat. If you ask anyone to teach you how to drive a bus they refuse. What do you do?

A mysterious benefactor is offering you $1000 dollars for every egg that you can eat within a one hour time limit. The eggs can be prepared in any manner of your choosing. You must declare the number of eggs you will eat before the start of the hour. Vomiting or failure to consume the number of declared eggs will result in no payment whatsoever. How will you prepare the eggs and how many do you think you can consume?

You are approached by a famous Olympic athlete (Usain Bolt level of fame) wearing their medals. You know they are real and not an impersonator. They offer you in-person tickets to the next Olympics including food and lodging. The catch is you have to compete in all the hurdles matches wearing flippers (like the ones you scuba with). You do not have to win but you have to finish every match. Do you take the deal?

A sentient, very wealthy crow approaches you and tells you that it will pay you to on-the-job train her crow kids for a day. The crows will be in a group you must bring with you through a full work day at an office job , the only catch is you can't tell anyone why the crows are there, or admit that they are following you. The money will grow exponentially so 1 crow is $10, 2 crows is $100, then a $1000 and so on, if anyone asks questions the crows leave and you get nothing. How many crows are you bringing to work with you?

Imagine you wake up tomorrow morning and next to you in bed is the Grinch wearing your spouse’s pyjamas. Everything else about them (voice, personality, mannerisms) appears to be the same, except that they are now physically fully the Grinch, covered in green hair. They are clearly extremely distressed by the sudden transformation but plead with you not to take them to the hospital because they’re scared and embarrassed and don’t know what can be done. However, over time, your spouse seems to start displaying more and more “Grinchlike” behaviours, such as tripping you when you pass, and each time they look shocked and say “I don’t know why I did that”. They still seem very distressed but the behaviours steadily increase in frequency. How do you proceed? How does this impact on your relationship? (Inspired by that time I asked my partner if he’d still love me if I was the grinch)

You wake up in a room, Squid Game style. In front of you are three olympic sized swimming pools. The announcer voice explains that your goal is to get to the other side of one of these pools. The first pool on the left has a medium sized great white shark and he looks *hungry*. At the bottom of the swimming pool about 1/3 of the way in is a harpoon gun with three harpoons but you will need to load each one individually. The second pool seems empty but the announcer says that within the pool are 10 of the world’s deadliest jellyfish, about 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft in size. They are nearly invisible to the naked eye but will appear when you swim within 3 feet of them. At the bottom of the third pool is a scale replica of Bikini Bottom, and all the major characters from Spongebob stand there, looking like they are keeping a terrible secret. The announcer says you have 60 seconds to decide, and a wall with piranha heads sticking out starts to close in, forcing you to choose. Which pool do you choose and why?

WITNESS ME WIFE WORM!! It's mad Max/ apocalypse times. What sets your band of outlaws apart from the heavy-rock-zombies that you are fighting for water? Bonus: what do each of your apocalypse war machines look like?

You are at a fan meet up for Naddpod. You’re having a great time meeting fans, until you notice that one person in line a few people back is unusually tall, hairy, and has calves that seem to glow in the sun. That’s right, this person waits politely in line to inform you that they’re the real Hardwon Surefoot. To prove that they’re telling the truth, they take out the real, authentic queens hammer, and use it to smash a person to death who is several spots back in line dressed like Galad Rosell. If you ask him why he would do that he just says “Galad is a bad guy, he killed my Mom”. You’re 100% sure that this person is the real Hardwon; but do you press charges knowing it means you’ll never see him again? He clearly believes that this was the real Galad and he was doing a public service

It is the night before your wedding your partner says that they have to tell you a secret. They have the ability to morph into all kinds of different creatures. The catch is due to a recent complication they are now stuck with the grinch as their new “permanent form”, they have the ability to morph back into a human but only for up to 2 hours at a time. They tell you that they would understand if this is a deal breaker but that they are willing to pun in the effort to make it work. Do you back out while you still can? Or do you accept your partner as they are grinch and all? (p.s. spoilers, Rachel dies in Animorphs Olaf dies in Frozen 2)

You guys are invited to a WWE Raw Smackdown (or whatever its called I'm not that knowledgeable on the topic) your watching the Rock facing the Big show when suddenly the Undertaker erupts from the center of the ring from the actual center of hell where he claims wrestling is fake and goes to kill the Rock, just as the Rock dies the Grinch squirts out of his asshole and begins anime fighting the undertaker killing half the audience in the making. Once the Grinch sends The Undertaker to heaven with a swift uppercut, he turns and points to your group, what do you do next?

Lets say hypothetically you find yourself in the wilderness of upstate newyork, just a standard forest, slightly off a hiking path. Whats the strangest zoo animal you could see and still move on with your day?

You come into possession of a non-lethal Death Note that can cause some other affliction to whomever's name you write in it. What would you want your alternative Death Note to do? E.g give someone a gluten allergy - ps in case @Jake is picking questions, Death Note is a very popular anime about a journal that can murder people 🙃

You are invited to attend a funeral with a close friend, who states "I can't get through this alone. Can you be there for me?" You and your friend arrive at the funeral (your friend close to tears), but to your surprise no one else is seated for the ceremony. Before you can ask your friend what is going on, the Grinch arrives dressed in formal attire, and approaches a podium near a cloth covered coffin. He says "let us begin," and pulls the cloth off of a translucent coffin. You see your friend trapped in the coffin, arms and legs tied up. Clearly the coffin dweller is running out of air while the Grinch proceeds with a small, normal-except-for-wriggling-body-in-a-coffin ceremony for the "deceased. You notice that you cannot see the face of the person you arrived with, who looks exactly like the person in the coffin, since they have buried their face in the hands while sobbing and crying. The Grinch begins to share "family memories" in honor of the deceased, many of which are familiar to you as belonging to your friend. As the ceremony continues, your friend(?) next to you wails louder but still does not show their face, and the friend(?) in the coffin begins to stop struggling. You barely make out a struggling "Please help" as the coffin figure meets your eyes. Do you open the coffin and stop the ceremony? The person next to you starts whispering to themselves "he isn't real; he can't hurt you again."

What would your plan be if you could instill spells in a seed that would stay in the plant and grow how you want it? Like instill security into your shrubbery or what spells would you want to instill not just for harm?

You guys are transported to the Fortnite Verse via Nerve gear or some other type of isekai trope, which skins do you fuck, marry and kill? (Example. Meowscles, Meowscles, Peely)

It's 4pm and you're craving a cream puff. You decide to go to a local bakery. As you enter, suddenly the whole bakery is filled with white women who you have to passively aggressively step around to get to the counter. Just as you are about to order, the Grinch walks in and cuts you in line. He orders the last cream puff, and no one seems to realize that it was actually your turn to order. In fact, no one reacts as if this is out of the ordinary. What do you do?

Hey Jake, imagine youre on Namek fighting Frieza the little white guy for the future of your people. You had the gang with you but Murph got lifted into the air and exploded violently sending vicera and gore scattered about, Caldwell was shot in the chest by a death beam and Emily is actively being chased by a death slicer. You have less than 5 minuts to finish the fight and save your remaining friend. How do you end the fight?

When drinking any liquid, do you just tilt or tip the beverage into your mouth, letting it flow, or do you exert control over the liquid by applying some sort of suction? Of course, some liquid-holders require the one or the other, and hot liquids may be slurped to test, but I ask thee: under normal circumstances, do you let it flow free or handle it, control it via suction?! I have heard the latter referred to as the "coward's choice". I await your discussion!

Emily is walking outside to feed the critters during a recording session and everyone. Watches her get scooped by a large Harpy Eagle, what is everyone next action?

It's early October, and you and some friends are excitedly attending a new haunted house event that's been getting really good buzz for weeks, to the point that it's starting to receive a growing degree of very positive national attention among scare enthusiasts. It's clear there's a good chance this attraction is going to go viral soon, and you want to get in there early. While the branding around the haunted house seems standard, once inside you begin to realize that the scenes and settings depicted are very clearly based on your personal life (often with a mocking or negative tone), and many of the performers' masks are grotesque caricatures of your face. They even incorporate pantomimes of some of your habits into their scares. If you bring this up to your friends afterwards they chalk it up to a coincidence and say you're overreacting, and if you try to ask the staff what's going on or complain they mutter something vague about artistic freedom and parody law and don't engage further. Everyone in your group thought the haunted house was fantastic, and if you raise the idea of attempting to change it or shut it down they get pretty pissed and call you a buzzkill. How do you proceed?

Come up with the most useless superpower. E.g. can teleport, but only into a natural disaster zone. Can fly, but only as long as you can hold your breath. Can turn your eyebrows into noodles, then have to wait for your eyebrows to grow back.

Say one day you wake up with all Spider-Man's abilities, web shooters included. How quickly do you think you'd be on the FBI's most wanted list? How high do you think you'd reach? I'd probably be robbing a bank by nightfall personally.

A hypothetical that inspired enthusiastic debate at my office (with several coworkers who also listen): If 10,000 angry adult male gorillas suddenly appeared in Grand Central Station, how many casualties do you think there would be and how long do you think it would take to get things under control?

I haven’t played yugioh in 20 years but are you: A trap card (purple), a spell card (green), or a monster card (brown). I can provide no other information. Thanks!

You have a beloved niece or nephew. They are a pretty typical kid in all ways but one: they LOVE the Grinch. They love the Grinch (the character specifically) as a toddler, elementary school kid, and beyond. At what age does your kin need to be for you to worry? At what age would they need to be for you to be the Yaunt or Yuncle to intervene and ask "hey kid, I guess like, why?"

Brennan Lee Mulligan just called up the four of you for a Dimension 20 sidequest season called Copyright Infringement, where you all play characters that are definitely not in the public domain, Oppa Fat Bastard style. Which catchphrase-heavy pop culture characters do you choose to play, and how do you represent them as a dungeons and dragons fifth edition character?

Scenario: you find out that dice DO have souls and personalities. Do you still play D&D with them? And if so, Emily, do you still leave them out in the moonlight (or boil them when you DM? 😯)

You have the once in the life opportunity to star on Broadway in a high budget musical adaptation of The Band of Boobs campaign. However whenever you inquire how Pawpaw will be represented the director just say "he'll have it handled." Even up till opening night you have no clue how this fan favourite possum is going look on stage. Until 5 minutes till places and the director excitedly introduces you to "PawPaw". It is clearly his own 13 year old kid who doesn't want to be there in a dog fancy dress onsie. You try to connect with your new scene partner but they ignore you and just stay on their phone. You try and get a reer out of them, they give you the silent treatment, and instead of scrambling, you have to take their hand and forcefully drag them anywhere. Again, the director is beaming ear to ear. He's been perfectly nice and reasonable on all other matters except this and you realise he wanted to get his kid excited about his job by showing them how fun theatre can be and it clearly hasn't worked. The audience are all seated, the rest of the star studded cast are in starting position. And the director, while smiling now, is clearly on the verge of heartbreak if this doesn't go to plan. What do you do?

Your spouse’s personality is replaced with one from the Naddpod Universe. Would you rather they take on: Princess Shiverblight, Wren, or Scout Master Denny

During the safety briefing on a plane, the flight crew tells you that the flight today will be used for a movie and they want to introduce you to the pilots. Out “walk” Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear with their puppeteers. The flight crew tells you there are no other pilots, but the puppeteers have taken extensive online courses, and everyone seems calm at this news. Do you try to get off the plane?

You're given an option between transformation, super speed, or Invisibility. However if you take transformation all memories of your best times include Gex as he is now one of your closest. Similar, chili dog eating sonic if you choose super speed, or Freakazoid if you choose Invisibility. You're feelings about them aren't any different, but they have been there for any big event (birthdays, marriages, favorite trips, anything sentimental) which would you take, and how do you think you'd fair with your new closest?

While you’re home alone a giant tentacle bursts out of your floor. It tells you it is the entire core of the Earth and that if you don’t bring it a ruby everyday it will burst out of the ground and destroy the Earth. It also says you are not allowed to tell anyone outside your household. What do you do?

You are relaxing at home one night when you hear frantic knocking at your door followed by someone yelling for help. You look through the peephole and see The Grinch banging on your door. He is bloodied and visibly panicked, yelling, "please help me, he's after me, please, he's out of control." You then see a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer land on your front lawn. Santa steps out and begins to slowly approach. As this happens The Grinch becomes more panicked and continues to plead for help. Do you intervene? (Assume you live in a rural area where no other neighbors or passersby would see this. Also assume that both Santa and The Grinch are unarmed.)

Posted this for the last hearthside!! So excited for this ep and all your incoming apeshit answers 💖😜 You’re strolling back from your local café and cut through the park by your house, when all of a sudden a crackling blue portal opens up right beside you—out pops the Grinch, wearing Goku’s clothes and hair, covered in blood. He throws an extremely heavy suitcase into your hands that smells downright acrid. Grabbing your shoulders, he says your name, and then shares in a hasty panic that he’s fucked up the whole timeline, everything is about to go to complete shit, and that this is the only possible way to save it. You must keep this suitcase secretly, telling no one about it, ESPECIALLY the authorities—and then bring it back to him here in exactly 1 year’s time. He begins to cry profusely as he stammers that if you tell anyone, look in the suitcase, or don’t meet him, everyone and everything will die for good. He stares at you pleading for one last moment before hopping back into the portal, which stays open for a moment behind him. What do you do? 😁

Suppose that your DnD party started to mention the Grinch-like parts of your various characters. There may or may not be truth to this, but they are able to rationalize for themselves that you have always wanted to play the Grinch - and now they won't let you play until you admit it and commit to a long-term Grinch game. Do you go with the Grinch, or run away and play a Grinchless run?

You are offered the opportunity to return to any day in your life and “Groundhog Day” it as many times as you like. The only conditions are that you have to declare beforehand how many times you want to repeat the day and that the final iteration will be the new canon of your life. What day would you pick, how many iterations are you putting yourself through, and how would you use this ability: perfect or correct a past situation, or just read 100 books in one day?

You work at a Hot Topic in a dying mall in New Jersey. One day on your shift, Jack Skellington pulls himself out of poster and explains that he needs your help to stop Dr. Evil from taking over Starbucks so that he can force it to serve only decaff coffee. Jack Skellington's voice sounds like elmo and he's kind of being a dick to you, and only refers to you to as "nerd-o". Do you still help Jack or ignore him because he's rude?

Your hand falls off and begins to move and talk on its own. (It sounds exactly the Grinch.) Your partner is thrilled and insists on treating the hand as your child. The hand is vaguely hostile towards you, but adores your partner. If you press the issue or express concern, they avoid acknowledging that the new child is your severed hand, saying "Everyone's a little different," in a defensive tone, and suggest you try harder to bond with it. Do you go along with this?

You are at the bank to cash a cheque but everyone at the bank is acting strange, looking around as if there are things you cannot see. When you attempt to cash it, they stop you and pull you into a private room. In this room is a single desk with a clerk at the table. It has fully blacked out walls and seems to yawn on forever. The clerk looks like she is approachable and helpful. Next to the door you just came through is another identically looking door that you don’t remember seeing with an emergency exit sign above it. What do you do?

You're offered 5 million dollars, but you have to spend enough of it to make sure you make national news while dressed as the Grinch. You get to keep what's left afterwards. What do you do to compete the challenge while keeping the most money?

You get laid off from your salaried corporate job. Soon enough, you're broke, the landlord is on your back about rent, and you need a job bad. You love going to your local aquarium, and you notice they're hiring. You're way overquaified, but you apply, get an interview, and it goes *really* well. At the end of the interview, the hiring manager pauses for a long time, looking torn. Finally, they stand up, close the blinds, and check around for eavesdroppers. Then they tell you they want to offer you a job with the aquarium's "Bourne-tier" squad. Your personality, strengths, and experience have impressed them so much, and they need you onboard to help thwart the facility's "most dire threats to aquatic domesticity." The only thing is, they need to get you federal "top-secret" clearance, the background check for which can take upwards of a year. They can't tell you any more details about the job, they can't tell you about the pay or benefits. There's no advance pay, and you won't be allowed to tell anyone, even your spouse or parents, why you're unemploted in the meantime. Do you accept the offer and try to figure out how to survive without income for an unknown number of months, unable to share this awesome secret with even your closest loved ones?

Would you rather been in a Disneyland that's completely empty except for you and a single worker who seems to be everywhere all the time and he refuses to acknowledge anything off about the day or An abandoned but harmless seeming amusement park with barely working animatronics and the rides will run randomly. Which would you pick?

You bring your pet to a public place you regularly visit. A stranger approaches and asks, “What a beautiful animal! When did you adopt them?” You and the stranger give the same answer at the same time. (For example, “Eight years ago.”) The stranger explains he lost his beloved pet a few days before you adopted yours. He needs to spend a few minutes alone with your pet, “just to see what happens.” Your animal looks conflicted. What do you do?

Choose your own adventure... You may only read books for the rest of your life with no ability to see a screen, or you may only watch movies, tv, and social media videos for the rest of your life with no ability to see the words on the page.

Surprise! Your partner signed both of you up for a talent show. The show is in one hour, what act/routine/or performance do you come up with? Using only what would normally be at your house.

You are in the busy part of a large city for travel/tour and across the street, within the bustle of pedestrians, you see a person who looks exactly like yourself but they're wearing an expensive suit and similarly upscale accessories. You can't be sure they're an *exact* double from this far away but the level of similarity is certainly suspicious. While you debate about approaching them, you see them find and greet a person who looks just like your significant other, also in a fancy outfit, and they kiss and walk off. You can tell they are highly fulfilled in their lives. The police will not believe you. Do you try to talk to them?

Would you take the deal?All of your appliances and electronics could be turned into dinosaurs and variety of prehistoric creatures. You wouldn't lose any functionality and could still perform all tasks as usual. However, when typing, upon each keystroke your dino-puter would announce, one word per keystoke, "its... a... living!" Over and over. This phrase also replaces all beeps when appliances are finished (microwave, washer/dryer, etc.)

Jake and Caldwell: a witch turned your wife into a worm! The witch agrees to change her back, but ONLY if she can transform you to look and sound like Jim Carrey's grinch. Either option will be permanent. Choose wisely. (Emily is already the most beautiful wife-worm so Murph is exempt from this question, unless he wants to grinch it up anyway.)

You double your chances of rolling Nat 20s, but every time you roll one, you involuntarily blurt out “yeah baby!” in a perfectly reproduced Austin Powers voice: do you accept?

On your 18th Birthday, The Grinch starts to follow you. He moves at a slower than average walking speed. If he catches, your life is reset to birth and you have to relive your whole life. Once you reach 18, the chase begins again. How do you live a full life AND avoid The Grinch?

I am casting my vote for what a campaign would look like based in New Jersey. Sincerely, Someone From New Jersey

You’re currently on trial for white-collar federal crime charges; you did commit these crimes. All of your money has been seized so you need to have an attorney appointed to you. You don’t get to meet with the lawyer until the morning of the trial. As you enter his office, you find a man sitting behind his desk in a full fledged Grinch costume. He greets you with excitement and exclaims, “Don’t worry, I have an ace up my sleeve. We’re gonna Grinch up that courtroom.” He refuses to elaborate any further and any questions are met with a poor Jim Carey impression as he spouts endless movie quotes that don’t answer your question. He seems superbly confident in his plan and gestures for you to follow him as he says “Remember, stay Grinchy.” as he enters the courtroom. What do you do?

Would you rather your dice be able to talk to you, or have an irl luck point (1 per day/long rest)?

This is a slightly longer one, but I think it's a good premise: You are accosted by an old man with a large hump back one night walking home, the man asks you to give him all the money on your person and in exchange he promises that you will be blessed with heavenly fortunes in due time. Seeing as you only have 1.5$ in your wallet you agree and the man sprints away clutching the change. The next morning you wake up with a terrible itching sensation on your back, and when you go to the mirror to check out what's going on you see a small bump protruding, but it's nothing serious. As the days go by the bump grows larger and you begin to notice shapes forming on the bump, and after a week you realize that the face of British tv darling Mr. Bean is growing on your body. It doesn't seem to be sentient, but touching it causes it to twitch and you can see slight movement beneath its closed eyelids. However as alarming as this may be, you also begin to notice that people are begining to treat you better, giving you their seats on the bus, giving you discounts on your groceries and even laughing at your jokes. Your spouse also begins to comment about how your slowly crumbling marriage is starting to see new sparks of passion, and that she's considering letting you sleep in the main bedroom again. What do you decide to do going forward? Will you seek medical attention and try to get comedy legend Mr. Bean's face removed, or will you keep quiet about it and enjoy the sudden upwards movement in your life?

You are given the power by whatever means, money/magic to bring back something to mainstream existence that is completely no longer around; be that a flavor of something, a type of snack or food, an extinct species of anima What you bring back isn't guaranteed to last, you are giving this thing a second chance. What do you bring back?

You are attending a TED Talk showcase four days before Christmas. As the last speaker finishes, it is announced there is actually one more presentation, a surprise guest. Before you have a chance to leave, out steps the Grinch. The Grinch goes on to give a detailed presentation about how to “Grinch” Christmas and how he is going to “really Grinch it up” this year. He says everyone in the room is safe from the Grinchening, but if anyone tries to stop him, he'll make sure their loved ones are permanently Grinched. You can't tell how bad Grinching is but you think it is more malicious than benign. It is clear no one else in the audience will do anything to stop him, and they cannot be persuaded otherwise. The only evidence you have of this plot is your memory. Do you try to stop him or do you let the Grinchening happen?

We have a Boston Terrier named Mouse, who we affectionately refer to as "Shit Goblin," due to her propensity to eat any kind of poop that she finds in the wild. That's generally fine, but my wife has no qualms about receiving face licks/mouth kisses from Shit Goblin, even when we know she has eaten shit in the recent past. For the record, I don't like this, but we all make sacrifices. I joke that my wife would give Shit Goblin a kiss on the mouth in a shorter amount of time post-shit-eating than if I had eaten shit myself. So I ask - if you saw your partner eat shit (like they were in the yard and they thought you had stepped out for the day, but you came back in to grab your wallet and saw them through the window, eating cat shit straight out of the grass), how long would it be before you felt comfortable kissing them on the mouth? For reference, my wife's shit-to-kissing time for the dog is generally 4-6 hours.

You are an eminent physicist cycling to Carnegie Hall for a special livestreamed session of your monthly game of DnD for charity. Your friend Billy Joe DMs for you, your spouse, and his wife Sharon, the US Secretary of State. You hit a kerb and crash, causing the experimental quantum computer in your fetching leather satchel to explode. Your brain gains the power to solve chaos theory, and you instantly understand that the only way to ensure the one possible future where the US avoids a crippling twelve year recession is to incept a crucial idea into Sharon's mind through the medium of the game. Furthermore, the only way to achieve the specific series of dice rolls needed to germinate this idea is to intercept three critical d20s while they are rolling with a precisely flicked flaming hot Cheeto from across the table, in full view of the players, the camera, and Sharon's security detail. Your powers only serve to let you know the precise moment to flick each Cheeto and there is no guarantee that you will make the shots. Failing one does not necessarily mean that the task fails, only that you will have to make double the amount of Cheeto interceptions to correct for it. Do you attempt to play god?

Murph (and other DM’s) I know you take a lot of creative direction from the games you play and the media you consume, when you create a world and start that process, how do you stay motivated on that world and how much of the world do you create starting out before you do a session 0 and that first real session?

In a three man Hell in a Cell cage match who wins: Barney Rubble, Austin Powers, or Blastin Gramma?

You and the grinch stay in to watch one of your favorite movies in whatever romantic or platonic capacity you want. Then you find out they made you a really fucking great dinner, something you kind of knew you wanted but didn't really and you wonder how they knew. What's for dinner, and did you have a nice time?

You are at a wedding reception with catered food. Looking around, it seems you and most of the other guests have chosen the lemon chicken. After everyone has started eating, you see a mildly panicked chef emerge from the kitchen and approach the head waiter. They are holding an empty container of Clorox, making frantic gestures between it and the serving tray of lemon chicken. Both the chef and waiter storm back to the kitchen and do not emerge for some time. No one else seems to have witnessed this; what do you do?

You're at a classics conference and while giving a paper your colleague casually mentions 2011 as the year the Western Roman Empire fell. Do you bring it up in the Q&A?

You have been saving the most delicious leftovers from your favorite restaurant for lunch, and it's been on your mind all day. It's finally lunch time and you're so excited to dig into your food, but when you open the fridge, not only is your food not there, but Jerry from Tom & Jerry is laying in the empty container, his belly cartoonishly round. He's so sleepy from eating all of your leftovers that he doesn't notice you open the fridge. What do you do? Do you let him get away with it, or do you go full Tom on this little hungry mouse?

What potion do you think Caldwell would enjoy spilling the most and having to deal with the consequences afterwards?

Imagine each of you are countries (or continents, up to you) on a planet not unlike Earth. What are your histories and who lives there? (So hypothetically - what kind of people live in the Murphy country, or what wars have waged between Caldwell and Jake? Did Emily sink to the bottom of the ocean eons ago and become the lost city of Axford?)

You are all back at the corporate College Humor offices in NYC before the sale. The Grinch joins the team as a new writer and is absolutely killing it, totally smashing it out of the park with comedy gold. However, you start to notice that about once or twice a month he smells like shit, and very small brown stains start appearing on a few chairs around the office. When confronted he says that with his ass crack covered in fur it is almost impossible to wipe clean, and that he normally tries to relieve himself at home, but that sometimes nature calls. He is not proud of it and tries to accomodate others by cleaning any skid marks that are pointed out to him, but refuses to wear pants or go home after he shits and considers it culutrally offensive towards grinches to press the issue, corporate HR has spoken with Legal and agrees with the Grinch. How do you get the Grinch to stop skid-marking up the office and stinking out writer's meetings?

You and your closest friend start a business together selling bucket hats (your shared passion) you spend years building a brand and becoming well known bucket hat-eliers . Your hats are known world wide. Then suddenly after a decade of fairly successful business, your friend tells you that they 'think bucket hats are cheesy' and that theyre not that into it. When you ask for further explanation they refuse to elaborate beyond saying 'i was just trying to make you happy'. Then their long term partner tells you that this whole thing has been an elaborate seduction technique by your friend to try and win your love, but now they're done waiting for you. Do you keep up your very successful business with this person?

Is Bowser a good kisser?

In April 2025, WrestleMania 41 comes to Las Vegas and "The Game" Triple H has decided that he wants a NADDPOD Fatal Four-Way Tag-Team Elimination Match, where each of you teams up with a Wrestler to take on the other members of NADDPOD, as part of the two-night event! Triple H loves NADDPOD (and 8-Bit Book Club) and insists the match happens so there's no convincing him this is a bad idea. You will be given the most basic rookie training and The Undertaker (who it turns out is actually magic) will ensure you don't get seriously hurt. Undertaker can also make it so you can select any wrestler alive or dead in the prime of their career to team up with. Who do you each team up with, how do you make sure you put on a good show and avoid "Go Away Heat", and which team goes over (is booked to win the match)?

Hello boobs my fiance and I have an ongoing debate between Tomatoes and Potatoes. Would you rather only be allowed to eat tomatoes and their byproducts, pizza, red sauce, etc. Or Potatoes and their byproducts, French fries, Hashbrowns etc. In this hypothetical you can eat all other foods. I am on the side of Tomatoes where she falls on the side of Potatoes. We would love to see where you all fall in this debate. Thank you P.S. Will we ever get a Jake cameo on 8-Bit Book Club?

Question for Murph, how does he feel about "You got to honor the cock", I laughed the hardest I had in years thanks to this accidental joke. But just wondering if he genuinely feels annoyed by it, or he embraces that self-depriation for the sake of comedy.

You can instantly summon as much Mediterranean style food as you like and can give this food to others as you see fit. You can sell it, donate it, or just eat it yourself, doesn't matter. However, anytime you are greeted by somebody for the first time of the day you have to say "it's Greek to meet you!" Then eat an entire spoonful of tzatziki. You have to do this for every person you meet, every day you are greeted by them. The tzatziki is magical summoned to you and you have to eat it in front of the other person. You can explain your affliction to anybody you like, but you will still have to eat the tzatziki. Do you take the deal?

Let’s say you are the president and a meteor is hurdling towards earth and you have to figure out a way to break it up so it disintegrates in earth’s atmosphere. And the only way for some reason to break it up is to land on it and drill into it. Do you: 1) Find a person who works on an oil rig and teach them and their crew how to be astronauts, withstand G force, etc. so they can land on the asteroid and drill it apart. Or 2) teach one astronaut how to operate a drill

It is Christmas Eve. The Grinch tells you about how the world is running out of helium and soon there will be none left. This ruins Christmas for you because you’re so bummed. That Christmas, you wake up to find that you’re growing green hair, long fingers, there are spiders in your brain,and termites in your smile. You are becoming the Grinch. You know that you’re patient zero in a widespread Grinch infection that could ruin Christmas for everyone and turn the entire world into Grinches. You look at your loving partner on Christmas Day and all you want to do is ruin their Christmas and turn them into the Grinch. With your last fleeting bit of Holiday Cheer you know that the infection can end with you. Do you succumb to a life of Grinchiness or do you sacrifice yourself to save Christmas?

Jar Jar Binks was a Sith Lord the whole time. The theory holds water but the idea got canned after episode 1s reception

Your close friend, relative or loved one gets into an accident and has to go to the hospital. You go to the hospital and the doctors are whispering to one another. One calm-looking doctor comes up to you and asks for you to step into a room with her and a small group of doctors. They tell you that the person who’s injured has critical injuries and you’re the only one who can save them. They tell you that they’d have to do a procedure, that’s rarely done but has a high success rate, that you have to participate in. It requires you to transfer all of your blood to the critically injured person and you’d be injected with green blood that would slowly turn you into the Grinch. You’ll loose all personality traits and memories of your current self and fully become the Grinch. They said that this is the only way they’d survive. What do you do?

You are planning a get together with your family and closest friends for a food focused gender reveal. You were going to have a barbecue but the weather has soured. The sweltering June Saturday became a questionabley stormy day but tornadoes are not expected and your guests insisted on still coming to the party.

At lunch one day, he stands on your cafeteria table with a sign that says "I'd be GREEN with envy if someone else took you to PROM." You have no other prospects for a prom date. How do you react?

You are given the opportunity to compete in a ridiculous YouTube video where you are given 100,000 United States Dollars. You can spend this money on whatever you can buy in the allotted hour, the catch is you must start out INSIDE a Banana republic (deceptively boring clothing store) of your choice anywhere across the country. All of the employees currently on the clock at that banana republic will be hunting you, if they catch you they will receive 10,000 of your budget, with the ability to go negative. You have a driver to drive you around, but he follows all traffic laws to a frustrating degree and he refuses to lock the doors. You are forced to wear a bright green track suit, and the employees have a way to track you with a minute delay. What’s your strategy? (What do you buy? How do you evade the employees? Where do you select to start? Etc)

You sit down as a player for session one of a new campaign. the dm informs you beforehand that they intend to run a long and emotionally heartfelt campaign with a very serious tone, yet one player decides he wants to play the grinch. All of the other players and dm thinks this is fine and doesn’t draw any attention to it. The longer the campaign goes on, the more the grinch tries to have extremely complex emotional role play interactions with your character specifically. How long does it take until you say something or point out that you’re having these interactions with the grinch and not a normal dnd character. You know if you point it out the other members of the group will become confused and question you, and possibly even become hostile.

Is cheesecake pie or cake?

You wake up in the morning and sleepily rub your eyes, concerned to find a little more hair than usual. You look at your hands and see they're covered in long, coarse green fur. You rush to the bathroom to look in the mirror and see that you are in full Jim Carrey Grinch makeup. When you ask your spouse what the fuck is going on, they don't understand. They say you've always looked this way. Feeling insane, you check your phone's photo album(or Instagram or a physical photo album, or to be really crazy, a high school yearbook) and they aren't wrong. You've always been the Grinch. But you don't remember it that way, you remember your life as a normal human being. Do you accept your new Grinchy existence? Or do you try to uncover the mystery and dive into this Grinch-saster conspiracy theory?

It’s the holiday season and you’re going with your family to see Santa at the mall. Your children/nieces/nephews have been talking about this for weeks. When you arrive you see all the decorations and the elves in full Christmas spirit but can’t see Santa. You have to wait in a long line to get to the front. While you’re waiting you see lots of very excited people leaving. When you get there instead of Santa, you see the undertaker in full WWE garb sitting on the sleigh. Everyone else is behaving normally and excited. All of the people you’re with are acting like this is Santa. What does it take for you to ask someone if this is an elaborate prank? There are no cameras anywhere and he asks the kids what they want for Christmas, but as the undertaker.

So you go to a water park, and your friend decided to go down a huge water slide. You wait for him at the bottom but you start to notice people are getting sent down but less people than being sent down are coming out. Your friend goes down and doesn’t come out. He suddenly comes back to you three hours later smelling strongly of blueberries and says that was the best water slide he’s ever been on and you have to try it. Do you go down?

If the 2 crew as a Team of 4 have to fight a team of A 6 foot 3 inches tall Eastern Gray Kangaroo, and a Giant Pacific Octopus (Think Huge Dungeons and Dragons Sized Creature) in 5 feet of water. What is your coordinated attack. The Kangaroo and the Octopus have telepathy, but you all do not. No weapons, but you can assume the Beasts can comprehend English so you can try and reason/confuse them.

You order some food to be delivered to your home after a long day of work. As your delivery person approaches, you see that it’s the Grinch driving an Oscar Meyer wiener mobile. The Grinch hands you your food like normal. As he walks away, he says “thanks for the shitty tip, bitch” and drives away. As you open your food, you find it is not what you ordered and it’s all chili cheese dogs. Do you call and complain?

You are given a choice: You can have the power to avoid awkward social situations for the rest of your life. However, at some point (and you don’t know when) the Kool Aid man is going to bust through a wall wherever you are and say “Oh yeah! I’m going to beat your ass.” Then he does so. And it’s bad. Are you going to make it? Probably. The doctors think so but are still worried. Would you take the deal?

You’re watching wrestlemania. The Rock comes out to hype up Roman Reigns. BLACKOUT LIGHTS, undertaker shows up. WRESTLES the Rock. BLACKOUT LIGHTS, where they stood, the Grinch remains. The grinch proceeds to do everything the rock would do for the rest of Wrestlemania, and people seem to acknowledge his presence as normal. Do you bring up that the Grinch is not your typical a list wrestler? Or do you let him show us what WOULDVE happened to Whoville had his own heart not tripled that day?

Which color tastes the best

You're offered your dream [insert highly desired object here (example, dream car)] for free, but ownership comes with taking ownership of X number of clowns.

This is a Brian Murphy question, but if you woke up and had the body for wrestling, what era would you want to be in, what would be your gimmick, and finally would you want to have any fueds, storylines or something else? The rest of the group is also welcome to answer as I know wrestling isn't an uncommon topic to be discussed.

I present an 8 bit book club themed question. Maybe you guys can have that Jorp guy on as a guest. Anyway, you are walking down a crowded street in New York on a perfectly balmy summer day. You suddenly get an incredible craving for pizza so strong you could swear it’s the only thing you could possibly eat next. Right as this craving hits you, you turn and see a bright neon sign that says “Brothers Pizza” above a green door. However nobody around you seems to notice the sign or the door, and nobody has gone in or out of the restaurant. You walk in to find a small pizza shop with one table and one chair. Behind the register is a man that looks exactly like Luigi from Super Mario Brothers, eagerly waiting for your order. You know in your heart you are the only customer that has come in today. In the back, another man that looks exactly like Mario begins getting ingredients ready, taking a basketball sized mushroom and slicing it up. The man then eats a large flower, summons fire in his hand, and ignites the oven. Your stomach rumbles and you are possessed of the knowledge that this will be the best pizza you have ever had in your life. Do you stay and order a pizza by yourself, or do you leave. If you leave, you know you will never be able to find “Brothers Pizza” as long as you shall live.

I ask literally everyone I meet: If you could look like JarJar Binks or sound like JarJar Binks for a day, which would you choose?

From some actual cases I’ve come across as a neuroscientist: would you rather have prosopagnosia (the inability to recognize faces) or the opposite (the ability to only recognize faces)? This isn’t blindness mind you. You can still see everything but you can’t recognize thing as a single object. They just appear to be a cluster of features that seem hazy. Remember you still have your other senses to recognize things. This only applies to vision.

If you we're put in charge of keeping a tiny Pachycephalosaurus alive for one month, do you think you could pull it off?

OOPS ALL GRINCHES; would you rather: (a) everyone looks like the grinch to you. you can tell who they are and can distinguish between individuals but they all look like the grinch. they also feel like the grinch. you feel fur between your fingers when you hold hands. (b) for one random day every six months, someone you know is replaced by the actual grinch. this can be a close family member, significant other, or even a coworker. they look exactly as they do now but they are inhabited by the grinch for 24 hours. the person who was grinched will be inhabiting the grinch until transported back in 24 hours with no knowledge of what happened. also you don't know when, where, and who was grinched when it happens, you just know that it will happen.

You and your partner are taking a 7 day road trip across the country, with the intent on arriving at the final destination on a specific day for a once in a lifetime event. You have it all planned out and the schedule is tight, any deviation from your plan will result in not being able to experience the entire reason you began this week-long journey. On day 3 of the trip you see a man and woman trying to wave you down on the side of the highway, on a stretch of road where you haven't seen another car for hours. Your partner encourages you to pull over to help. As you pull over and get a better look at the couple, you realize they are carrying duffle bags full of money. They say if you can bring them where they need to go, half of money is yours. It has to be at least 2 million in loose bills. They do not explain the source of the money and when asked reply "hey man, don't worry about it, it's ours now right?" Helping them at all will result in the entire road trip being botched, and they refuse to explain their situation and just say "yeah, crazy day, we're just trying to get home." Other than the money they seem perfectly nice and kind and are not trying to pressure you outside of politely asking for a ride. Do you help them?

Grinch

You're lost in a place you've never been before, driving down the highway without another car in sight. Suddenly, on the horizon you see Donald Duck, in a biker jacket, going down the highway on a riding lawnmower. It could just be somebody in a costume but you don't see a zipper or anything. Do you ask the duck for directions or accept your fate?

Would you bowl one game for all the marbles or shoot marbles for all the bowls?

To the honorable justices and Bailey. Someone has implanted a bomb in the center of the earth and it’s set to go off in five minutes, which will ultimately blow up the entirety of the world. The only way to turn it off is to press a button at the end of a very long hallway. The hallway is covered in broken glass and really mean snakes, and you accidentally left your shoes at home. Gauging the hallway, you have about a 2% chance to make it to the end before the world blows up. Conversely, there’s an escape pod right next to you that will shoot you into space. In it is your partner, all your closest loved ones, and enough food and water and resources to start a new human colony on Mars. What do you do?

If you are given a pair of Sonic the Hedgehog's sneakers, giving you the same super speed as sonic, would you wear them even if they physically turned you into the unreleased 1 draft of the live action CGI Sonic before they fixed it? Removing the shoes changes you back to a human however it does take 12 hours.

You and your wife and expecting your first child, but exactly at 40 weeks, she goes into labor. Both of you are unprepared, no bags packed, car seat hasn’t been put in yet. Y’all are a mess and trying to hurriedly get to the hospital because your wife says she’s thinks the baby is coming. While you are speeding down the highway, you get pulled over by a state trooper. You and your wife are panicking because it’s becoming more evident that y’all will not make it to the hospital on time. When the trooper exits his vehicle, you realize he is in a grinch costume. The grinch saddles up to your window. You can now see his name pin says “grinch”, but you can clearly see the party city tags on his costume poking out. Once he gets to your window, he (the grinch) immediately knows what’s going on. Your wife screams “the baby is coming, I can’t stop it!” Before you can even register, the grinch, fast in action, already has gotten your wife out of the car and on some towels, getting ready to help deliver the baby. You quickly run over to comfort your wife as she gives birth. You both are so excited and overwhelmed that you didn’t see that the baby your wife has just given birth to is in a mini grinch costume. You don’t know if the baby was born with it or if the grinch had a newborn grinch costume on hand. As you turn to your wife to share a confused look, you see she actually looks embarrassed. Do you accuse your wife of having an affair with officer grinch while on the side of a busy highway or try to enjoy the moment and get her to the hospital as soon as you can?

Which sitcom would you rather be trapped in as a member of the main cast; Friends or Frasier? Note one character is randomly and forever replaced by the Grinch.

You're walking down the street when beckoning from an alley comes the voice of The Grinch. "I've stolen someone's magic and now I can cross from my story world to this or any other world. I have an offer for you: come with me and we can go to literally any story you want to at any point in that story. You'll get to explore and have fun, but, only for 1 week. After that you need to help me be my best Grinch self and absolutely ruin things for the good guys." Do you go with him, and if so, where?

You go to a Flintstones themed costume party, wearing a pillowcase costume of course, where everyone is dressed as flintstones characters or dinosaur gadgets. One person shows up in a grinch costume. No one else acknowledges that this is not on theme. Do you bring it up?

You are walking through Times Square when you are approached by someone breathlessly running in a very good Spider-Man costume. As he speaks, he has the voice of youthful New Yorker. He tells you he is the REAL SPIDER-MAN and hands you a fairly heavy black backpack. He tells you to give it to the next cop you see before running off. You open it and see its full of cold hard cash. What do you do?

Has anyone from the 2 crew tried a Costco Chicken Bake? If so, who could eat the most chicken bakes in one meal. I can do 3 on a good day.

My friend always asks people to create the least flattering bio pic about themselves. Stipulations being that you have to actually pick decently known directors to direct it and actors to play you. If you know writers, great, if not just name a (again, at least well known) movie and pick the writer from that. Try to avoid obvious flubbers like Tommy Wiseau too. A construction of who would actually try, but would get it as wrong as possible.

You go out to dinner for a friend’s birthday at a nice restaurant. You don’t have a lot of mutual connections with this friend, so you don’t really know anyone else there. Everyone is dressed nicely, except for one person who is dressed like the Grinch in full prosthetics. No one flinches at the Grinch, and the Grinch is a pleasant partygoer who asks you about your job and expresses genuine interest in your hobbies. Other restaraunt-goers are staring. You try and make a comment to one of your fellow party goers, but when pressed, they say, “Oh, Geoff? That's just his thing.” Do you bring it up directly with the Grinch?

This one is for Caldwell and Jake: You wake up tomorrow and find yourself in the body of a couple of the stray cats in Emily and Murphs backyard. What do you do?

You and your kid/niece/nephew/child relative are going to the mall around St. Patrick’s day. The mall is decorated with normal St. Patrick’s day decorations, except when you walk into a more open area, you see a photo op area like those Mall Santa photo areas. Sitting on a pot of gold-shaped chair is the Grinch. He is wearing a little leprechaun outfit with a top hat, and is pinching children and taking photos with them. You see a lot of kids rubbing their arms and crying off to the side, but only you can see that, and the proofs of the pictures look pretty good. The kid you’re with looks so excited and begs to take a picture with the Grinch. Do you let them?

If you all woke up tomorrow and were in the Olympics, what sport do you think you’d get a medal in?

You (not one of your PCs, you yourself) are standing at the junction of a cosmic trolley track. In the distance, you see the cosmic, timeline destroying trolley approaching. On one track, Balnor and every big bad evil person of every campaign played on the show are tied down with unbreakable astral chains. On the other track, every friendly NPC other than Balnor (Ol' Cobb, Meemaw, Lucanis, the jet blue pilot, Maw Goblin, etc.) are similarly tied down. Next to the junction is a lever that will switch the track. If you do nothing, the trolley will hit Balnor and the villains, erasing their timelines from all existence. If you pull the lever, the track switches, and the friendly NPCs are annihilated from time. Both groups are begging you to spare them, what do you do?

If the world only had trees that grew one kind of fruit/food (like in Animal crossing) & there was no way to grow any other type, which fruit/food would you choose? you're also marooned on an island with a capitalist overlord (like in Animal crossing) but since you have free will irl tom nook isn't as big of an issue as the fruit trees

Do you accept ur lottery win and if so how do u stay ahead of the snail?

You're DM'ing a DND game with a group of 4 players, one of whom is your partner. You are a half dozen sessions in when another player (not your partner) asks to bring a friend to the next session, so they can "show him the ropes" of DND. You agree, provided there's "nothing weird about it". Day of the session, this player's friend turns out to be (either the Grinch or your ex depending on which fits better for the episode). No one else seems to notice it but you and him, and while he doesn't bring it up during or after he is an active and engaged player at the table and fits the players' dynamic well. Afterwards, the friend who invited him says "good news, he loved the session and wanted to see if he could join, at least for this next arc of the campaign". Your players are all non-committed but positive about bringing him in. Do you let him join the campaign, do you address his (grinchiness or ex-iness, respectively), and if so with who?

F, marry, kill: Gollum, Jar Jar Binks, Dobby the house elf.

You are given a full day to spend with someone famous who you do not know. You can do anything you want for the entire day from dawn to midnight, all expenses paid, but at least two full hours at the beginning of that day have to be spent explaining to your famous person why there is so much grinch content in Naddpod. Who would you pick to be your celebrity?

Do you think all your player characters from would get along with your other characters from different campaigns or do you think they would find them annoying, I.e. Hardwon, Nyack, Henry, Calder, etc?

You just spent everything you have on a new house, and it’s everything you could have wanted in a home. You finished moving in and go out into your *spacious* backyard to talk to your partner about putting in a deck and play area for your kids and dogs and stray cats when you see a mole hill in the grass. Upon closer inspection, it’s a completely ordinary mole hill (dirt, mound, presumably made by a mole) but the shape is the face of the Grinch. No amount of digging/smoothing out the hills or trying to rid the lawn of moles works - every morning, you wake up to two to three Grinch face mole hills in the yard. Do you move?

You are attending a high school basketball game with a close friend/significant other sitting next to you. Your companion has a relative that is playing, and their team has hit some hardships this past year, and haven’t won a game yet this season. Halfway through the game, one of the players on the opposing team gets seriously injured, and the announcers say that they have to forfeit the match, unless someone from the audience comes and plays. They offer a 10 000$ reward for playing, but you cannot purposely play bad, you must play to your ability in basketball. If your team wins, the other team (with your significant others relative playing on it) would be kicked out of the league for too many losses, and if your team wins, every player will instantly receive a basketball scholarship. Do you join the game?

You're 2 hours into a 7-hour flight, and luckily you have a comfortable window seat in a row to yourself. You look out the window to observe the clouds, when you see the Grinch on the plane's wing, Opa William Shatner in the Twilight Zone style. He isn't tearing anything up like the creature from the Twilight Zone, he's just standing, hands on his hips, looking disappointedly at the lack of impressive clouds. You make eye contact and he holds up a whiteboard that, in blue dry erase marker reads, "No need to worry, I'm just Grinchin' around (or am I? I'll never tell. Teehee)". You haven't seen him do anything malicious that might compromise the plane, and he seems to be in no danger of falling off. Do you tell anybody on the plane and if so, who?

You’re heading to the airport for a very important flight that you cant miss. On the way you read a story about a group of people protesting Boeing by dressing up as the Grinch and causing problems on flights. When you get through TSA, you see a group of people with small bags giggling amongst themselves in your boarding area. You notice one of them has a tuft of green fur sticking out one of their bags. Do you keep going with your flight or do you try and find another one?

Fuck, marry, Kill The Three Grinches: OG animated, Jim Carrey, and Benedict Cumberbatch animated

Would you or would you not: you get the ability to fly, but each time use your legs to walk you have to move your head back and forth like a pigeon

When I played college football, myself and the other offensive lineman would on a daily basis argue about this hypothetical: What would you rather fight: one horse-sized duck, or one hundred duck-sized horses?

You’re standing in a random chain tech store, looking for a new printer. You’re browsing the printers when you hear an associate behind you “Pardon my slip of the tongue, but that printer is perfect for tasteful photos!” And Gex is behind you in a blue collared shirt that says “Nerd Gang.” “When I think of that Epson, I have to contain myself from gecko chopping everything!” This printer is exactly what you need, do you continue with the purchase process?

You’re starting a new job and have yet to meet any of your coworkers. Your boss brings you to your trainers office and you find the grinch sitting there. They don’t bring up the grinch appearance in any way and when you ask anyone they just say “oh, that’s just the Grinch. He works in marketing” Do you go back to your job tomorrow?

You are going for a walk and a cat starts following you. It’s a hot day and the cat looks tired, but won’t stop following you. You try to give it some of your water, it won’t drink it. When you stop the cat stops and lays on the ground, but when you start walking again it gets up and follows you. When you try to pick it up it evades you. You are 2 miles from home, what do you do (based on a true story)

Murph loses the ability to speak and can only communicate in animal sounds he’s done on NADDPOD. For the rest of his life, would you want him to use only: 1) Honeysuckle; 2) Foster; or 3) Paw Paw’s voice? (Personally I find Honeysuckle’s “om nom nom’s” scratch a deep part of my brain and I swear I’d listen to an entire episode of just Honeysuckle speaking😊)

All: you are able to enter one fantasy/sci-fi universe from books/tv/movies but you must remain there for one calendar year. Which universe do you choose?

What would you do if the grinch came to your next live show? He's sitting in the center of the very front row and you can tell that he came to the show by himself. He is being super polite, laughing and applauding at the appropriate times, but you can tell that the people around him are uncomfortable with his presence. Also, you can tell the people sitting behind him are really pissed off because he's really tall plus wearing the santa hat, so he's completely blocking their view. The people behind him and next to him keep asking him to move somewhere else so that he isn't blocking anyone, but he is completely ignoring them and truly enjoying the show. You can tell he is a huge fan. When people try to address the fact that he looks like the grinch, he just looks confused and still ignores them. Things start to escalate into raised voices and verbal fighting to the point that is becoming distracting to you all and other members of the audience. Do you ask the grinch to move?

Would you rather fight five unarmed grinches (they are all exact copies of one another), or two Jakes but they each have a sword and exactly one month to prepare? In both scenarios you also get a month of preparation and do not get a weapon

The boat is about to leave, this is the only boat in the dock, and you suspect another won’t be by for a long time, do you stay on the ship or leave?
