Surprise Round! - Bonus Scenarios (Tasteful Minion Edition)

pov: it’s 2026 and scooting is now in the x-games

Would a tattoo of a t-shirt with a minion on your back count for the inheritance scenario?

Being the best in the world at something without having to invest a lifetime of practice is worth the 3 years imo, even if it isn't a mainstream skill. Think of all the time Olympic athletes sacrifice just to get near the top, 3 years actually seems like a bargain

Jordan Clark the scootist comes up like fourth when you google his name, so… seems like a bad deal

☺️🤌😌✨️💩😍

I disagree with Murph's scooter take so hard. it's not about monetizing, it's about being on the cutting edge of something. Being THE GOAT. You razor scoot so good it feels like you're flying.

In my headcanon now, Oliver Tree took the scooter deal and has lost three years of his life to be so good at scooter, and then he made a career out of singing and being a weird little guy.

Did you even consider Bigs the Cat, Jake?

its a crime that the cover photo isnt a tasteful minion shirt

relistening and id just agree to adam surgler. malpractice cheque, lifetime story, and id probably be in so much pain i wouldnt care who did it as long as i was knocked out asap

Unfortunately I think the nadd squad are a little too old for the attack of the clones scenario to be super weird because the make up solution does work. If I a 27 year old woman saw my boyfriend in Attack of the Clones and he was being super casual about it it would turn me insane because he was 5 when that movie came out. I fear it would break me.

Re listening to this I love the idea of the Grinch about to throw the presents off the cliff, Cindy Louhou is about to convince him not to and Murph at the Grinch's side just going "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?"

I think I unequivocally take the Razor Scooter deal if It means NO ONE IN ALL OF TIME can ever TOP how good I am at scooting

I really can't fathom why murph thinks three years is such a deal breaker. our life expectancy is literally twice what it was a century ago. losing three years off the end of my life to become the best at ANYTHING while I can still take advantage would be awesome. the other way to do that would be spend three years practicing now, and then not being the best. I mean fuck, I've lost years to doing I don't even know what

The thing they aren't considering with choosing Bedrock is Fred has an actual career. If you have to always be with him, then you have to spend a lot of time at his manual labor job. You don't have that obligation with any of the other options.

it's for hypothetical scenarios like "a million dollars for a lifetime of minion tshirt sex" where being asexual would feel like such a cheat code, thats such an easy 1mil for me like god are you fucking kidding me LOL

i have done two sets of bench presses while listening to this episode and both sets i almost died cause i started laughing

Sounds to me like one million dollars and I'd never have to wear a minion shirt

The thing is.... Whoville exists entirely within a snowflake as it is falling, so time in Whoville does not really matter. You can go to Whoville for 10 years; come back and only 3 seconds have passed since the snowflake hasn't touched the ground yet

caldwell could turn the whoville situation into a romcom so fast

I would ABSOLUTELY let the SandMan operate on me. It would be an honor to let Mr Sandler work on me

Wait but does it have to be the same minions shirt? Cause what if you lose it or it gets destroyed in an accident? I don't think they've fully considered this!

Scooters are lame

5 percent mortality rate for a burst appendix. I rolled a d20 for Jake, with a 1 being death. You rolled a 16 your lowliness, you live another day, and I think you can still get a malpractice case for this for having to leave to get proper treatment.

it's so funny how many times murph delivers the prompt and is AGHAST at emily's immediate steadfast answer XDD

people need to be comfortable saying NO to doctors when they have bad ideas

Fun fact: absolutely no one in the extreme sports communities respects scooters, because scooters are exclusively used by kids 12 and under. Scooter kids pollute skateparks in packs of 9, standing in the way and crashing into people. Absolutely not worth it, scootering is a useless skill that would only bring you the ire of those around you. 😅

the 3 years off your life is the time it takes to become the best scooterer

I’m in LOVE with the grinch bit haha

I smell the mbmbambino energy on Murph's "Unless....."

Goes to the grinchs' funeral and finds their 'lover or former lover'- I made myself laugh bc I imagine going to the funeral, and the Lover in question has a) two sons, one with (presumably) the grinch, and another which the lover had come into the relationship with the grinch with. The grinch had become close to his step-son, do you still tell both of his kids that the grinch might not have been either of their fathers?

I literally stopped mowing the lawn so I can argue about the Scooter. Ryan Williams won multiple Xgames and he started on a scooter. If you watch his highlights on a scooter it's amazing. So you would be better than that. I think the key word is "Best in the world" that mean Everytime someone does a new trick you can already do it and better. Also to throw some shade Murph isn't even the best DM in the world and look what this podcast turned into.

you four are so cool!!!!!!! "cool" is too small a word!!!!

i'm cracking UP at the adam sandler/appendicitis hypothetical.. i had appendicitis back in 2019 and that was *easily* the most pain i've ever been in.. i'm 100% letting him perform the surgery!! (though i am biased bc i'm a huge fan)

Grinch it up

I disagree with the razor scooter life devotion thing It can absolutely just be a hobby you're super good at (plus being talented at one thing carries into other things so it would be a physical performance and coordination buff across the board) I'd take that deal in a heartbeat I don't have to live as long and I get to have a wicked fun time doing it? Hell yes

My brother is a trauma surgeon and I asked for his take on the Adam Sandler case: First, this is madness. Second, how do they know it's 50/50 it will perforate in transfer? They can't. But accepting the whole scenario, Sandler can do it. Not much different than training an early resident. We know how to safely teach. We always say we can teach almost anyone the mechanics of operating, it's the knowledge and judgement that makes a surgeon

PLEASE do more of these omg these werr great

Hey if you drop the "razor" scooter part of the razor scooter question I think there's already a lot of professional scooter competitions that are paid they're just not associated with any "extreme sports brands" I think (synopsis from a quick Google so take it with it grain of salt)

I love how many times Murph provides a moderate to severe cost for just such an inane skill, and Emily is immediately like "yeah bro say less".

The Razor scooter question is actually way more obvious when you consider how much stamina would be required to be the world's best and how good of a shape you would instantly become as a result of holding that title

https://youtu.be/EOa9eVnjUlo?si=m00VVSWlnrB9fH1A this guy defies gravity on a scooter and is pretty famous.

Cam we get an Ally Beardsley guest in the feywild arc? I just feel they would be a great addition to your chaos😂

I just woke up from a nap where in a dream I remembered you guys talking about lucid dreaming, and it made me realize I was in a dream

Just look up "Minion How this make you feel white boy" I'm ded

W kit fisto getting name dropped in this ep. My fav of all time

Jake is gonna be so pissed when he gets to the next hospital and finds Kevin James prepping for Paul Blart: Surgical Resident

It really needs to be emphasized just how hard Murph went full Grinchmode when confronted with the idea of living in Whoville

Take the deal. Go from NADDPOD to RadDPOD

As someone who had a gangrenous appendix that was about to burst (but who waited several days to go into a hospital because i thought it was a bad stomach bug), there is no way you have the strength to break Adam Sandler's wrist by the time you're at that point. Violence is not a viable stance in this scenario!

You would be SHOCKED at the amount of violence a patient can get away with without being kicked out of a hospital. Jake’s wrist break stands as being legitimate.

I worry that threatening Sandler and the hospital with litigation will encourage them to sabotage your surgery

murph was the grinch all along… relistening to all the surprise rounds just imagining it’s him in the impeccable jim carrey costume

I got so excited about sexy/tasteful minions shirts I can make love in that I forgot the question specified T shirt 👕...

If Adam Sandler is in the hospital, I would assumed that he's under oath. So I think I'm fine with him performing the surgery

This was my favorite! I think I have to upgrade my subscription tier now haha

I literally do have and wear a sexy minions crop top 🥲

Magic The Gathering is the mental XGames. Keep in mind before judging this comment........I'm sookkooooo[ooooooookk(okokkkooooo drunks. But the grinches are connected. I think this even when sober.

I hope they do more of these

I promise to listen to all suprise rounds and compile a database of an official Grinch cannon. I believe that there are several recurring grinchrs. For example thw grinch from the first Suprise round that ruined the dinner is also the same grinch fro. Thw previous episode that was skydiving. I 1ill getto the bott of.this mystery no matter how drunk or.high I may be. (WHICH IS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUMT) THIS I sweat as a starlet Officer. The prime directive shall be upheld.

This is insane to me. What other opportunity do you have to be the greatest at a skill? Of all time. No one before today or until the oceans boil us will touch your legacy. That's priceless. What are you gonna do in your 80's or 90's that's better than that?

Jake’s STAUNCH hardline stance against being operated on by Sandler and trying to break his wrist is one of the funniest bits I’ve ever heard, bless you all and the scenario presenter.

First scenario plot twist…what if the son WAS the emt, you’ve got no time to digest what to do

Would it be possible to organize the ad free episodes and short rest into which campaigns for easier searching? I'm not sure if it would be possible but it would be great!!

doing what emily is for the Adam Sandler one

The unknown acting roll really resonates with me, ha. My one and only time being involved in a movie production was to drive the hearse to the set of Charlie St. Cloud. That's it. I'm not credited, and I don't appear on screen. It's an interesting enough story to tell on just the right occasion, but not really that interesting to be honest. So, most of my colleagues, and even many of my friends, don't know. When discussed conversations are often similar to how you described: Them: "You did what?" Me: "Yeah, it was neat." Makes me wonder how many of us there are like that out there, haha. PS. I was working for a funeral home, not any movie industry related roll. Which is where the hearse connection comes in.

I googled tasteful minion shirt and we are not looking at the same shirts

I would inherit a million dollars and wear a minions shirt during sex but then simply never have sex bc I am asexual I win

What if there was an aloha shirt that has little hidden minions in it if that's the case I will say yes

As someone who works as a nurse in a hospital, if Jake broke Adam Sandler hand he would 100% not be thrown out of the hospital. Adam Sandler would be asked by management what he could have done to prevent this from happening. Healthcare workers are often abused by patients and face no repercussions for it… That aside, I let Adam Sandler do the surgery

I think for the first question we gave the child’s mom too much benefit of the doubt. What if she DIDN’T want the kid to know that the grinch wasn’t his dad? What if you tell the mom the grinch’s dying words and she never tells the child and now there’s no one to let him know the truth. You have to shove the mom out the way and do it yourself.

My step daughter had emergency appendectomy, I don't think my mom would be willing to let Adam Sandler do it

crazy to me how nobody brought up with the worlds best razor scootering skills you could start fighting crime

I fully assume that Adam Sandler is method acting and that as soon as I'm knocked out the senior surgeon will take over. I try to find out, and I nearly back out of the surgery, but I persuade myself to go through with it and I make Mr Sandler take video evidence with me so I can tell everyone when I wake up about this crazy story

I just want more Surprise Round for the Mixed Bag

Jake and Emily were so fucking real for the Adam Sandler surgery question 😂

Sandler is definitely out of network though.

OK but hear me out...maybe the Grinch's partner had cheated and while the Grinch was aware the partner didn't know they knew. You could be preventing his dying wish by going through the mom. Perhaps it was important to the Grinch that the child knew that he knew the Gringe knew and didn't care and loved him like his own incase the child ever finds out. Unsolved 😋

Help the grinch steal Christmas lol

The "extra in Star Wars" question just made me think of the guy whose girlfriend was posting screenshots of him as an extra in Lord of the Rings and he said something along the lines of "if you were six feet tall and living in Wellington at the time you didn't have a choice"

please do more of these! the side quest conversations have always been one of my favorite parts of the podcast! also, YOU GUYS THATS NOT AT ALL HOW HOSPITALS WORK THAT IS SO CRAZY T-T it's illegal for hospitals to just throw you out if your condition is unstable & emily is 100% right that you'd have a huge malpractice hammer to hit them with. but even with a looming lawsuit, thats still sooooooo wrong for the idea of the situation even happening in the first place omg

The Aussies and Kiwis would like a word with you about scootering. Those bros are nuts. Nitro Circus has some nutty scooter riders too! 🤙

As a Rollerblader of over a decade, I think I'd take the scooter deal. 3 years of my regular life is probably worth the adrenaline rush of being able to preform at such a high skill level of scooting. No need to monetize it or even be an influencer/ compete just being able to have that freedom in any discipline honestly would be fun and worth it! Like hell even best pogosticker or unicycle rider, it'd just be rad to be that good at something

You guys absolutely need to look up Oliver Tree! He started out as a professional scooter rider and had a bunch of viral videos before becoming a musician

This is my new favorite naddpod bit. I literally subscribed to a higher Patreon tier so I could listen to the other ones. Please do more surprise rounds these are amazing and have me laughing so hard I’m nearly crying

"it could be the grinch himself" gets me every single time

It’s wild how Emily has done a 180 from needing 4 weeks off every time the Flinstones are mentioned to fully wanting to live in their world.

Hi. I worked for years in a surgical center and am in nursing school. Appendectomy is a fairly simple and quick surgery with a very high success rate. A burst appendix means peritonitis, infection, and almost certainly sepsis. Be prepared for the worst pain you've very felt. Please don't roll those dice. Let Mr. Sandler do your surgery. He's got this.

I'm confused. On the razor scooter question, what does Emily mean by "total potential heartbeats" as opposed to the end of your life being 3 years closer

I think I went to school with a Jordan Clark

As someone who's skated for 26 years, you can make plenty of money with scooters nowadays. Niggas take em off mega ramps and have big contests

minions on the back shirt only works if you are okay with missionary for the rest of your life 💁

Murph when he writes/presents the question: No you can’t do that, that’s against the spirit of the question Also Murph: I found a minion sex shirt loophole, this won’t be a problem at all (Lol no shade, Murph getting super intense for no reason is always funny)

The best guy on the razor scooter right now is Ryan Williams, and he’s doing pretty well for himself

Interesting that Em didn’t ponder Mobius a bit more, because of all the critters.

Love an ep that makes Murph say 'not to dunk on scooting but' multiple times

I Is it funny that while listening to the first Grinch I ended up witnessing an accident because someone was speeding? I don't know if that's funny. I think it's funny

Lool Caldwell in Whoville being roommates with the Grinch I am absolutely imagining a Sexy Flanders/Homer Simpson skiing vacation vibe lol

Sooooo um actually the mom's GOTTA know already that the grinch is not the father... right??

The people of whoville are not only annoying, they're bullies!!! They bullied someone so hard he BECAME the grinch! Justice for Murph and his consistently correct takes

Yes!!

LETS GOOOO

I love this so much
