1st class trumps all drawbacks
MADAME WEB MENTION🔥🔥🔥
Crash hack: Get beat up by crash. Rewind time to before this moment happens. Get the jump on Crash, now that you know how this asskicking plays out assert dominance and put up an actual fight maybe land a hit or two. Now you’ve regained some dignity. The asskicking will continue in perpetuity but at least you’re coming out of it with some modicum of grace.
Grinch on a plane definitely do it. I feel like I've already had flight attendants act like this lol
This Surprise Round, where Emily says she would devote her life to Crash Bandicoot if he was a mysterious force that would kick her ass once a year, was the framework for Vesper Childers’s fascination with Bigfoot
Caldwell was absolutely on fire this ep
As someone who tries to sleep 90% of a flight because I get intense brain fog while on planes, I will gladly take on the grinch first-class if it means I can lay down completely. Noise canceling headphones for the win!
Professor psychotic emerged from Caldwell at 27:40
Him having very clearly referenced smiling friends again since is really funny to me
Take the rewind, make your millions early on and then save it for the coming years to save a life
I would take the Hour Rewind, but it would probably ruin my life lol
The punishment for the hour rewind is already that you can only use it once a year. Thats unfair
the black lotus thing to me is not about whether or not i graverob, its can I get over the anxiety of being caught. for $800k I have no moral problem disrespecting this piece of shit, but I think i might be too anxious about thinking i would get caught. grinch being rude to you with free first class is fine if I can be guaranteed he won't give me COVID by being nasty. I would probably buy my own drinks before the flight because even if he wouldn't give me COVID by doing that I would still find it nasty. I could eat around it in food and honestly I don't find hair that gross and usually you can just remove it (much harder to do with drinks). plus im disabled and being able to lay down on a long flight would reduce the chances of needing to spend the full first day recovering from sitting for 13 hours cause I didnt wanna be near the grinch
me, to Chappell Roan: look at my mime wounds!!!
I cannot fucking believe that Emily called Grinch vs Thor specifically. happened in '92, they called him Groonk also Murph, you're a coward for not sticking to your guns. the sony films fucking suck
Install a pet cam and spy on that green weirdo. Tbh, I genuinely think that my cats would like the grinch
Like Gary said, the animals like it.
Little mammoths existed, they were the last woolly mammoths, and lived on Wrangle Island, north of Siberia. They were waddling around till about 2,000 BCE, so feasibly Minoans, Mycenaeans, Assyrians, New Kingdom Egyptians, and Shang Dynasty Chinese could all have faced a similar predicament, if only they were actively trading with the Chukchi people of Siberia.
just wanted to say thanks for the crash/time travel hypothetical, posing it saved a family dinner
You can use the 1hr rewind to rewind it after. Crash kicks your ass then rewind and set a trap for him then off him!
And you get your ass kicked twice
my mom is a funeral director and she wants you to know that's now how caskets work. caskets are usually stored in vaults, which are heavy as hell and need machinery to be lifted up. furthermore, most caskets need keys to open them up. you could potentially open the vault and casket with tools, but that would be more premeditated. the best bet would be to steal the card at the open casket rather than at the graveyard
Glad to hear you love the coin, even happier to hear i managed to find a way annoy Murph haha
Wait so is my dickhead Uncle Craig Post Malone?? That's wild, he seemed like such a nice man. :(
A tiktok news show of murph going around asking people on the street surprise round questions would go crazy
Chappel Roan mentioned
Came here to say this
Totally take the crash curse, maybe get a gun and just gun him down in the woods when he inevitably comes. Maybe hang out outside a police station, so they get involved and can't help but take him out because he won't stop until I'm womped.
Nah no matter what you do, you still get your ass kicked. You can’t get around that restriction at all
CALDWELL!!!! PHANTOM MENACE ONE-SHOT WHERE EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY THE SAME EXCEPT QUI-GIN AND OBI-WAN ARE THE TRIPLETS PLEASE!!!!!!
Yes King
A group of elephants is either a herd, a memory, or a parade
Maybe you should use your hour time reset to let Crash Bandicoot kick your ass again. TELL HIM THIS IS WHY YOU WANTED THE POWER IN THE FIRST PLACE. He will probably think it is a sex thing and will feel so uncomfortable that he won’t beat your ass anymore.
I cannot wait for crash bandicoot to absolutely womp me at my wedding
Elephants have also been seen recognizing the phases of the moon!
*immediately* googled elf with a 10 page backstory and bought that shit. We love an edgelord, we love a 1-page TRRPG. I can't wait to play it!
I have accumulated so many of these for times when the whole group can't make D&D, but yet people always seem to prefer to just not meet up for some reason
Universal has the theme park rights to Marvel, but they can't update it to include anything past the time that the deal was made so the Marvel area is permanently stuck in the aestheic of the late 90s
100% steal Uncle Craig's card. I asked a coworker the Crash/Time Power conundrum his response was "I use the time rewind to blast Crash Bandicoot" I said, "Every year?" He said, "Yup."
So weird hearing Uncle Craig be a dick, as I am an Uncle, and my name is Craig. Uncle Craig, not the asshole one, says you can take that card for sure.
I already grew up with siblings so getting a ass kicking once a year is just a lighter version of my childhood. I'd use the first year to set myself up for life via gambling and then every year after that I just take a beating from Crash for the chance to save people. Edit: Oh and why remove the dramatic music from the question segment? It was fun :(
It’s on the bonus content!!
Crash will keep you humble
Caldwell name dropping both Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter tells me that he too, is a 30 something who probably watches too much TikTok to try and stay hip and relevant, lol
i mean this is kinda rude, is it not? Plus Chappell and Sabrina are in the top ten hot songs + headlining major venues. You'd have to be intentionally edge lord avoiding media right now to not know their names.
Chapel Roan mention gagged me Caldwell I was not familiar with your game
Would you say that to truly beat the mime, you’d have to get him to…say uncle?
I cant believe the absolute ride they went on with my question--from emily's soft hearted sweetness about bowie all the way to "im hiring a private investigator" and Jakes "Gary doesnt come inside the house, I just close the door" LMAO Thanks for picking my question, Jake!!
Can't believe nobody asked if Crash would use his spin to beat you up.
Im gonna just posit some of the phrases that popped into my mind while listening: Grinchella, Grinchell Roan, Green Pony Club (grinch-coded), Brian Murgrinch, Grinchily Axford, Grinchwell Tanner, Jake Hurgrinch. Happy pride month I hope no one reads this stream of thought I just had to eject it somewhere.
The thought of Caldwell being scolded by Chappell Roan
"Hugh-ge mistake, Tanner... Huuuugh-ge"
Can't believe Murph likes the silver surfer. The guy who fights a cloud. Can't wait to @ him
if that's your only exposure to SS, that's on you
Aw, I miss the reality tv sound editing
This series has desensitized me to the Grinch because I would trust them with my life by this point
A scenario no one thought about ifs what if you rewind time to save a loved one and that's the time crash appears
Grinch+Wrench= Grench 🙄
Gotta factor into the Crash scenario that, at some point, you’re gonna be a 95 year old who is gonna be getting your ass beat by Crash Bandicoot and has zero purpose for an hour rewind.
At that point he’s probably just hitting you once. Murph said it’s not hospital visit worthy
I’m a Murph. I’m a loomer.
speaking from experience (I'm an archaeologist I SWEAR) Murph is totally underestimating the time it would take for one person to manually re-dig a grave enough to steal something out if it to then re-bury it
Absolutely. I had to dig a hole once that was less than 1/4 the size of a grave (concrete footings for a porch, nothing weird) and it took so long that I think I tricked someone else into finishing it.
For the Crash Bandicoot one, I definitely spend my first time rewind to go back after he beats my ass and lay a bunch of traps, arm myself with weapons, etc. I refuse to fight fair and I will get rid of Crash
The mime one is like a short horror story to me 😭😭😭
Caldwell mentioning immersion 5 mins in… someone’s seen Jenny Nicholson’s new vid 🫡
Murph is back hating films. Typical
Just take the crash deal and use it immediately to make money until you’re comfortable and then you can sit on it.
After you win in roulette crash is gonna beat your ass and do the spin move and your chips are going to go everywhere
I think surprise round is fun but not for as often as they’ve done it. Bring back tortle tank!!
I would happily listen to 8-Bit Book Club (With Special Guest) argue their way through every Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-type book they can get their hands on
Can the Grinch Klump? Probably not. But he CAN Grump.
universal only has the movie rights to the hulk and i believe namor the submariner solo, that's why there hasn't been a hulk solo movie since 2008. Disney can only use those characters in team up movies or tv shows
Yall gotta watch morbius as a mix bag now
DO IT
Sports betting? Nah. The lotto. Learn the numbers and then hit the jackpot. Really only need to do it once
You can't buy a ticket 1 hour before draw
Caldwell referencing Chappell Roan at Grinchella was so crazy
Caldwell turning the funeral heist into the movie "Now You See Me"
Go to bed, Brian.
This is truly my favorite episode format you guys do outside of the actual plays. Just my exact kind of humor. A+ all arround
Pondering how i could casually work "Hell it could be the Grinch himself." Into my daily vernacular
I think maybe it could be a complimentary thing. Like you see someone do something impressive and go like "Damn look at Johnny over there. Hell could be the Grinch himself."
Eagerly awaiting the Grinchening once again
the murphster's at it again
First
New to Patreon, super happy this comes out so early
Ok loomer
Very fun but more 8bit book club please
Yuuuur
"May or may not feature the Grinch." So it definitely has the Grinch
I'm just starting the episode and i'm pretty sure the grinch is gonna show up
spoiler: he did, 36 seconds later
Best part of working 3rd shift is Thursday night!
I work nights and every Thursday I feverishly refresh Patreon in hopes they get posted late for Jake but early for me.
I’ve started my constant refresh
Visiting fam in the central time zone means I’m for once up late enough to catch the ep drop!!
I’m only here so Murph knows he’s not the only one up late
So here for this on a Friday afternoon (Australia)
same
