I think there's a big question for the shit fast travel; is it actually fast travel, in that you teleport and just had to pay? Cause we use the word "teleport". Or does it just make you unaware/unable to form memories like anesthesia? Because if it's teleporting, the time saved is huge. If it's just being magically unconscious and arriving x hours later, it's probably not worth it.
This is old but crash is an accomplished pilot so he would track you across continents unfortunately
What about connecting flights? Do you shit your pants for each leg? Or one big shit and your’e at your final destination?
I used to fly 60-70 times a year for work, and about 10-15% of those were international flights. I absolutely would've taken the "shit your pants fast travel" option instead of dealing with all of those plane rides
Phillies fans would fs hammer Mr. Met. Go phils 🤙
Donald Duck is the most powerful sorcerer in all of final fantasy lore. No one else is has even attempted a zeta flare
Sorry after more investigation the dragon god Buhamut also cast zettaflare. So they are even
Wait... does Emily think that airplanes cause jetlag 😅😅
Uncle Jim is officially a homewrecker: https://images.app.goo.gl/SS93f4SuAuaKPWPV9
How is shitting your pants a remotely worthwhile trade for bypassing plane flights? 1. Noise cancelling headphones, 2. Drugs. Time skipped, pants spotless.
but everytime i OD on the plane i get kicked off by the air marshal
Grinch stuff is starting to bug me. Maybe one or two an episode. Maybe I'm in the minority.
You definitely are
The final scenario is just the literal plot of Knives Out and no one is saying it!!
It's also the plot of like half of Agatha Christie's novels and a large number of other books and movies
Just wanna point out that JD Martinez of the NY Mets said “we suck, let’s go suck together” in response to the Mets win the other day so I think he’s honorary Duck Team

I've listened to every single ep of this despite not knowing the Grinch or any of his movies (/books?). All my knowledge of him is from this show. Truly wild
you have a beautiful perspective of this show
“kids are bad at baseball” when i started baseball in kindergarten, my dad told me i’d get a piece of candy every time i got a kid out in any game. i finished playing after 5th grade. in my 6 years of baseball, i got 0 pieces of candy 😭
Crash Bandicoot isn’t using any official points of entry that would request a passport. Hell, he probably doesn’t even have a birth certificate anywhere.
It’s “Will you Bury the Grinch” because they *know* everyone’s gonna kill it, it’s just a matter of what they do with the shell…
X x
can u pls specify if the grinch is wearing the santa costume when this stuff is happening 🤔💭
Everyone go look at Mrs Mets ass
Loving the chaotic energy lately. Feels like late trinyvale vibes
The elephant in the room for the weird psychological torment Punked reboot is it is definitely just Sam Reich pulling off the grinch mask and saying he’s been here the whole time
Love you guys. Over the Grinch stuff
I think you're in the minority here. 💚#GrinchHead
Murph's little background "hold for applause" while everyone talks over him couldn't have been more perfect
We’re watching an old Dimension 20, and I commented “this is pure Emily insanity. I love it!” pause “Emsanity?” …the edible may be making me think that’s funnier than it is. 🙃
Crash definitely has a passport. He's an Australian animal. How else would he have gotten to America?
Damn. If only I waited to make my plane seating chart meme until after this episode. Adding Mrs. Met into the mix would've provided some much needed female representation
You’re a hero for this, frankly
Great episode. Really hoping for Adventure Book Theater to return.
I'm so sad no one used the phrase "designated shitter"
It's like a forest bike Caldwell, jeez
Those of us with IBS are like 🤷 guess I don't have to go on flights anymore
“Let’s not look in to it!” 👀👀👀👀 lol I love it
oh if they think that Mrs. met is hot then they’ve gotta see Rosie Red
I think a big part of Mrs. Mets' appeal is that the person in the costume is (respectfully) "caked up." It's not that easy to tell with Rosie Red but I do like her vibes. She sort of reminds me of Pauline from the Mario series.
Dang just looked up Mrs Met and I gotta say Unc still got it
I think the implication of the Mrs and Mr Met question was that they are not humans in mascot costumes but real beings with baseball heads. Hence the baseball stitching on your uncle’s face.
Shadow the... Edgehog *tips fedora*
... does... Channing Tatum have neck tattoos?
"I don't want to be diaped up and shitting myself just to get to Chicago." Put that on a god damn t-shirt lol
So I forget what it’s called, but there actually is a horror prank show on Netflix hosted by Gaten Mattarazzo
The addition of “Your phone has zero bars” makes me laugh every time
You guys really should do an 8-bit book club about the terrible horror movie version of the Grinch called "The Mean One". This needs to happen.
now i need a drawing of the grinch as kratos
Could you just buy your tickets on the toilet so you don’t have cleanup?
It's 2am and I just realized what the bag for the saul plush is out of the corner of my eye. Fuck you I love you for that.
P.S. if Jake is really afraid of puppets idk how he approved this.
If I remember correctly: Magica wanted Scrooge's #1 Dime because she believed it had magical properties (it was "lucky") that she could use to fuel her magic to take over the world (or something to that effect).
I love that the witch from duckburg (apparently she's Italian?!) has so many different names in different languages. I grew up with her Danish name which is Hexia De Trick and I love it
I’m interested in hearing future surprise round scenarios written by Emily, Caldwell, and Jake :P
Nightcrawler is definitely a tiefling 👀
Shitting your self in the airport but not having to deal with actually flying would 100% be worth it. Flying post covid pretty much feels like shitting your self in the airport as is.
Also you gotta make sure you show up in the delta club lobby so you have alot fewer people watching.
Crash has to have a passport because he took a direct flight from Paris to Albuquerque
An underrated moment in this ep. is when Murph describes the Grinch mask falling off after they've shot it with the arrow and it's Murph underneath the mask - I am still laughing imagining it!
It adds to the show to think that every “man in a Grinch costume, so realistic, hell, it might even be the Grinch himself” is actually Murph.
Re: Pathfinder I know this has nothing to do Surprise Round - fantastic ep, btw - but I'm playing catchup on the pod and I am hopeful this will get seen by the Two Crew. Pathfinder is going to be *very* difficult to do theater of the mind. You may be able to get around it by using something like Demiplane. With it, and similar platforms, you can add conditions to characters to help track buffs and debuffs. The biggest thing you'll need to overcome is how important positioning is to make the battle system function as intended. I'd love to see you guys take a more committed crack at it as it is the best system for tactical play and creating deep, interesting characters.
agreed. I think it's possible to have it fit the podcast format if they just have a rudimentary setup with a few squares and beads or something simple on a computer. this would help them make the most of the format without it really needing to be seen by the audience. I also agree that more pathfinder would be amazing.
I’m a bit confused, what did Caldwell not understand about the forest bike? It’s a forest bike which is actually a type of bike that is for the forest kind of similar to a forest bike.
Hell, I’d love to have more grinch
Ok I think I'm reaching Grinch Burnout.
Buckle up, Christmas is coming
I'm really sorry to tell you this, but Crash's sister Coco definitely knows how to use the dark web. & he 100% can't use any device not started by a single button, she's the mastermind.
His girlfriend is roughly normal human intelligence Coco is a genius His little brother crunch is roughly around a 13 year old But I can’t find crash’s canon intelligence.
Second scenario with the Grinch in the lake immediately makes me think of kangaroos waiting in the water to grab ya and pull you under. Consider: the Marsupial Grinch
Kanga-grinch!
Emily, enthusiastically: "This has made baseball interesting to me!" Murph, unconvincingly: "...-y-yeah."
Yipppeeee more of my 4 favourite lil weirdos
Crash Bandicoot being a violent psychopath obsessed with destroying our lives is one of my favorite nonsense bits of this whole show 😂
His whole shtick is ruining a humans life.
“A few weeks before the game, the Mets announced that a new Mrs. Met mascot would meet with fans and appear during the All-Star Game festivities. A senior Mets official reported that Mrs. Met had been ‘working as an event planner and was ready to return to full-time work now that her children are grown.’” The Mrs. Met lore is wild, but I’m so confused why her job was an “event planner” wasn’t considered full-time work.
“Her first name is Jan.” I’m so interested in her. Screw the Grinch campaign, I want a Mr. and Mrs. Met campaign.
there actually are Forest ebikes (yes, like Lime scooters!) in london 😂 it’s the one i use the most 🚴🏻♀️
amazing episode, but i can't believe caldwell doesn't know what an forest bike is
You could absolutely get some Phillies fans to stomp out Mr. Met and his goons while you head for the tunnels
Murph as much as Philly embraced, nay, celebrated you when y’all had your last live show here, it’s truly a bummer to hear that you’d even theoretically be a Mets fan 😂
I feel like the lake swimming grinch question actually answered the “how many bodies in the water before you don’t swim” question from a few eps ago for all of them and it’s WAY higher than previously estimated
The "I hope the grinch kills my friend first" by Jake, followed by an absolutely bewildered "WHAT?!" by Murph, was absolutely perfect.
how dare you call thee emily axford “on the lowest rung of D&D players”
The Mrs met question is legitimately S tier question. That chili hot dog was fully a red herring in the best way
The Click-Shit connection is ridiculous yet accurate
Put Mrs Met in the pantheon
I resent Murph referring to him and the crew as "the lowest rung tier D&D celebrities". Yall are of the upper utmost echelon. Truly legends and icons of the space. Give yourselves some credit sweeties.
Definitely the highest quality long running campaigns. Even the first half of CR is completely unlistenable to many people i introduced it to. But they dig in to naddpod like a grinch to water.
I don't know what I liked more: the use of the phrase "diaped up" and variations thereof or Murph defending shitting himself as an adult in his home in such a way that made me believe I, too, may one day shit myself as an adult in my home.
I've done it, but as a side effect of cancer treatment. Do not recommend.
I love you naddpod I love you Mr Grinch
My butt is seized in anticipation.
Can someone please defend the Grinch questions to me. I'm starting to not want to listen to these episodes. They are becoming annoying. It feels like someone is writing and wants to feel special so they add the Grinch so maybe they will read it on the podcast. Like I've heard the word so many times it feels like it's not even a word anymore. I think 1 per batch of episodes is my limit now.
It's not the Grinch himself (or, hell, maybe it is...) it's the idea of the Grinch.
I wouldn't endure a pure Grinch episode, I would devour it.
Nah, I like the Decemberist too much to fall for that lake shit. That Grinch is a Rusalka.
I watched What Lies Beneath at the tender age of 7 and since then thought any lake had an angry and hot ghost living in it
"It's kind of like Click with Adam Sandler but it's shit with us"
What's that bear saying; if it's brown like down, if it's black fight back, if it's green, TAKE THE SHOT
Yahoo!
Mrs Met is so fine
Everyone talks about elasta girl and they don’t speak enough on MM
Who would have thought that the “take him to the grinch” running joke from that one Naddpod episode nearly 6 years ago would lead to this?
Ahh!
