I walked into my dad’s room and he was watching Bosch, confirming that it is, in fact, a show made for dads. I told him about this hypothetical and he had the most unfortunate answer that, on the 8th date, you would go over, and the first season of Lincoln Lawyer would be queued up. The protagonists are half brothers and they share many of the same characters. I wonder if this changes any of the crew’s opinions. I genuinely think I would still ride it out. I think if I can ride it out, I’ll be allowed to do this behavior too, and I’ll get literal months of dates in a row where I will get undivided attention to the media I like in return for doing it for my partner. Yeah, their special interest is a lil bit weird, but the rest of the date is incredible.
I never saw Cena... 🙈
That's Tinkerbell dude lol
ally’s laugh every time murph finishes a question fucking kills me i love them
It would be really funny if it smelt fine outside until someone went inside, then you’re screwed. So if you wanna have people over you gotta lock the doors and act like it’s normal.
Jim Carrey Grinch is the best grinch
Beardsley is the best
The intro surprised my cat
relistening; on the John Cena one I tell my best friend and do whatever they tell me to do
Relistening to this but Beardsley is absolutely the perfect person for surprise round
If the grinch comes up to me like that I can only assume I’ve already drowned and this is some kind of spiritual limbo and I’m letting the grinch do whatever he thinks he needs to do
Imagine the Bosch dates but at the end you make someone listen to at least 4 episodes of naddpod- this is dating me- times 4.
This ep got wild considering the recent John Cena heel turn, o jeez
I do hate how much I am down for the 8 dates of Bosch to see what happens
I want 162681926 more episodes with Beardsley ❤️🙏🏻😭
So apparently Emily is absolutely correct. Detective Bosch's first name is Hieronymus
And he goes by Harry as a nickname lol
My issue with the Peter pan one is if I do fail, I then also have to pay the medical bill for the ambulance and hospital and that right there isn't worth the risk of being able to fly
But it’s in merry ol England so free health care (I’m an American so I’m pretending it’s fully free over there)
whenever i listen to you guys, I'm just like, "my enemies. my loves."
I need 100000000000 more episodes of surprise round, like yesterday
Grinch plush on Facebook marketplace very good deal https://www.facebook.com/share/15wH9VLeNX/?mibextid=wwXIfr
I listened to all of these eps yesterday and I GOTTA tell you that Surprise Round gripped me by the shoulders with its furry grinchfingers and pulled me out of a really low mood I’ve been in recently. I wish there were like a million more for me to listen to
oh no the grinch 💔
Grinch was robbed #rip
Really resonate with “theres never been anything I’ve done entirely without reservation”
Inflicting the Grinch on guests is going to be funny literally every time it happens
That Peter Pan scenario was so fucking funny holy shit
I just did a Peter pan pantomime and having browsed the o g story he's a real shit so I don't think I'd even want to join that fucker
doodoo house scenario reminds me of my sister's house in texas where the sewage is directly connected to sprinklers in the yard to be used as manure. and you can clearly smell it. literal doodoo house !
Impossible. No one has ever seen John Cena.
Re:cena, if you have a dashcam, do you keep or delete the footage?
Given that the Flintstones were introduced to NADDPOD lore last time Ally was on I feel like there's a real chance Bosch is going to come back
These are some fucking TOP TIER questions. I was so pumped to see Suprise Round come back!!
Peter pan is in the public domain, and there is a horror movie version that just came out in January 🤣🤣
The Bosch thing is just a weird social experiment unless you get to their place and they have a Bosch styled triptych depicting the entire cast of characters of Bosch, then I think it's just an innocent hyper fixation on the Boschverse.
The Bosch thing is like Britta dating Subway in Community
This has really just convinced me I need to watch Bosch
love how ally, much like all of their dnd characters, is ready to jump out a window
Jake’s joking but I’m sure there has been a funeral for the Grinch in Schenectady
lol definitely schenectady has the vibe that at least one grinch funeral has been held there if not more
Ok, Caldwell and I have the same doggy dream house.
i love surprise round and ally. this is the perfect guest
I love ally
I’m out therefore I’m in.
I love the foley of them fighting during these last couple episodes. I feel like it's the opposite of doing a visual bit on an audio medium (though that's also funny) where you're leveraging the constraints of the medium to make a joke. Makes me laugh every time.
I think these folks don't understand the recovery after a broken leg. Even if it's "set" and "healed a little bit" you still have to do months or years of PT. No thank you.
Take it easy there Caldwell “Will Graham” Tanner. Bunch of dogs in the woods.
I think I got it. At the Grinch’s funeral ask people to share pictures of the grinch and tell the story! Further proof that it’s really the Grinch without you being weird about it.
What if you tell your friend about John Cena killing someone and they look at you coldly and say, "I thought you said you didn't see him. Did you lie?"
Or worse! They grab you by the collar of your shirt and say "My boss, the Undertaker, has been hunting John Cena for years. You need to tell me which way he went right now" and forces you to join their hunt for John Cena
I would posit that the scuba grinch learned hand gestures to TRICK people like an angler fish
*Brennan voice* in-CREDIBLE
I know how the short film ends. It cuts to black and you just hear the "doo doo do do doo"s from Steve Miller Bands Fly Like an Eagle that then starts playing over the credits
Oh for Cena I'm definitely not leaving my car. I drive home and I tell everyone that I helped Cena fix a flat and he gave me a hat as a reward and that's IT. I don't say a word about Cena murdering someone because if he finds out that I blabbed he's coming for me next
Unfortunately, I would be seated for Bosch
But I'm just a slut for detective shows and don't have Prime
I basically have Emily's dream home. My apartment looks out into a huge wooded area but I'm only a 10-30 minute walk from anything I want
My grandfather died on Wednesday, but I never really knew the guy so in my mind, I'm imagining going to his funeral next week and I'm just imagining going to his casket and happening upon the Grinch, and turning to my father, like, "I'm a quarter Grinch and you never told me" all anguished like
The last one is straight up a tim robbinson bit
I watched all of Bosch while sick and Emily is correct about his name
Ayyy Schenectady mention…one side of my family lives there and if mom was ever like “hey we need to go out to central New York, a family friend just passed away” and it turned out to be the Grinch I’d just be like, “yeah okay this tracks”
I'm pretty sure if you called the police, alone with a body in the woods, and you blame it on John Cena, the cops say "Well clearly you're crazy and you killed this hiker"
I flinched at that end stinger damn it
“Sorry, I was just texting my wife.”
I don't know why random Bosch (on amazon prime) references on podcasts ALWAYS gets me. Bosch (on amazon prime) is just such a funny pull for me
Also, how long passes between each date?
The scenario about watching Bosch is the most ridiculously unhinged question/discussion I’ve ever heard. Love it. Keep it up!
Waiting for this to be released after D&D Court was un-bear-hell-able.
In no way shape or form is anyone jumping out that window after Tom’s demise. No way.
Wdym? Tom is sort of ok!
I think we have all been missing a huge loophole in the dream house situation, in that you can never be surprised by an intruder in your home. As soon as someone breaks in the whole house stinks and you can flee to the panic room.
I regret to inform you all that while listening to them discuss whether there was a “nude grinch” my brain heard “Nude Gingrinch” and now all I can think of is a horrifying mashup of the grinch and Newt Gingrich. Who is nude. Again, sorry.
Thanks for that (stupid nude newt Gingrich)
Color me shocked! (I forgot what day it was)
If one of you told me the John Cena story, I would totally believe you.
There's no world in which Beardsley, with their insane lucky properties, wouldn't be capable of flying if given the chance.
let’s refer back to the Sophomore Year ribbon dance incident on that one
Caldwell’s absolute refusal to grapple with these hypotheticals at face value and instead to insist upon 2-3 layers of his own added hypotheticals is always both delightful and maddening to me.
The Bosch one is just me (autistic) showing a potential date my hyperfixation 🤣
I was JUST binging all the surprise rounds and wishing there were more!
At the low end of average episode length (say 45m), a season of Bosch (10 episodes) runs about 7.5hrs. With bathroom breaks etc, a focus date runs roughly 5pm to midnight. Assuming you binge both Friday and Saturday, you could get through all 7 seasons in a month, and therefore probably feel less like you've wasted your life than if you had spread it out.
I'm so in on the dream house, I never have people over.
Although honestly, it would smell like shit when you go to the showing, and you would only have the seller's word that it's not like that all the time.
HARTFORD CT MENTIONED RAHHH 🙏🙏💪🏽
Scuba Grinch: Does anyone know the Third Man phenomenon? I would assume the Grinch is my third man and do as he says.
Bro my ex would have thrown hands with beardsly over their Jim Carey opinion. They literally told me several times that they would have left me for Jim Carey. Literally loved him.
In Beardsley we trust
Laughed too hard and had to ask a friend what she would do in the first scenario. Quote: "Obviously I propel myself towards the surface even more rapidly than intended when I violently shit myself at the sight of the wet Grinch."
Omg I was hoping for another surprise round 🤩
I'm so fucking happy! Suprise Round is my FAVORITE thing they put out! When I heard they were doing it I literally shouted with joy. Never laugh as hard as I do with surprise rounds and I like to spring some of these questions on my friend when he's not expecting it. Always hilarious to see his reason when I get to the involvement of the grieve and he realizes that it's just a stupid question and not somthing important like I tell him it's gonna be. I've been waiting this whole month for this. And it drops while I'm drunk? Nothing could be better. Thanks Naddpod you always give me what I need.
Bah I'm so devastated. I had like a whole page of surprise round scenarios I was ready to submit for the next time you did this. 😭
I’m really curious! I like to imagine scenarios, but i never write them down. Hardest part is introducing new characters into the scenarios. Grinch and sonic are too well established.
Wooo part of the early crowd crew! 🙌 surprise round is perfect for Beardsley ohhmelora 😂
Trust the grinch
Real question. Is the Grinch cute? Like personality aside, he cute?
I didn’t know how badly I wanted this
I just know Beardsley is gonna be the perfect surprise round guest
Ooh are we gonna have a grinch dice box on an IH season?
Beardsley ganggggg
beardsley gang
Thank you for bringing back surprise round I've been missing it since hearing the Grinch got robbed at the Twoyle Tumble!
WE. LOVE YOU ALLY 🙌🏽🙌🏽
