Short Rest: Trinyvale X Strahd - Ep. 11

Speaking of having sex with cars, you should check out Titane. If you have a very stomach and like body horror.

The second ‘key lime pie’ came up, I was thinking about ‘The Shape of Water.’

Vampire food is probably undercooked and unseasoned 😭

Strahd has a worse version of Joe Hendry's powers.

really loving this truncated version of Strahd, Caldwell you’re straight up killing it with all your changes to make it faster. I’m currently DMing Strahd and our last session was #27 and also our one year anniversary for the campaign lol… we’re in Vallaki still

I am compelled to mention that Amelia bedelia would absolutely put actual keys in a key lime pie

😭😭 oh my god Caldwell you are breaking my heart talking about colour plans on movies. I work in textiles/SFX costume and it has literally been a decade since I dyed pallets for the designers to put together mood boards... It's so rare now 😮‍💨

Did anyone else pause and watch the goofy movie scene?

Oh my god… halfway through they joke about a premise that Emily literally portrayed in a Collegehumor sketch! Hardly Working: Hoops I don’t think any of them remembered there’s a video of that exact thing happening That video also has a line that’s been stuck in my brain ever since “I couldn’t help over eavesdropping”

Holy shit pirates of the carribean 2005 published by Bethesda mention

One of the funniest Short Rests in the past season!! I was dying laughing.

Jake is right on meatball size

On the topic of Strahd cooking, in a game I played he served us frozen pizza pockets cause he's a vampire who doesn't eat

I would listen to an entire separate podcasts where you guys just ad lib shitty movies

NOTRE DAME MENTION

Can’t wait for the new episode. Hope it comes out soon!

I might be a bit late to this, but on the topic of vampires and cooking food, Dracula literally cooks all the food for Jonathan Harker when he is a "guest" at Dracula's castle. Bram Stoker does a really good job making it a horror, but it is canon that Dracula scurried around cooking and cleaning after Harker as he had no human servants to do that job lol. If I remember correctly, Harker did not have any complaints about the food lol.

Gens alinement is definetly neutrel evil

I have been loving the triplets in Barovia. I look forward to hearing you guys every week. Thank you for making such an awesome and fun story!

Pretty sure the vampire book Emily was talking about was A Discover of Witches. It is one of my favorite series, but it does have a slow start and very different magic/creature rules. It’s also a show

IM BACK i lost patreon for a little BUT IM BACK

Spaghetti Os do hold up, but you can take them to the next level by adding just a little bit of red pepper flake in there when you heat them up. Delish.

Omg HELLO COLOUR THEORY TALK YES LETS GOooooo!! Hmu thats my JAM

This has to be Murphs longest stretch without DMing. Do you guys think C4/the next time Murph DMs will be the band of boobes in the astral plane?

Nail care serial killer? Jjba ref?

Olive Garden College had me wheezing.

Not sure if this is a you guys thing or a pocketcasts thing, but currently only 29 minutes of this episode are up on that app :) (Maybe something to do with what other commenters said about file size?)

don’t worry emily i know *exactly* what you meant about the original nail care comment 🤭

My new "ladies and gentlemen" is now "parm charms and mozzarella fellas" 🤣🤣🤣

My mom got food poisoning at Olive Garden so I do think they’re teaching poison pasta at OGU

Im the friend who only gets 3 hours of sleep who is up early trying to be quiet in the hall having a mild panic attack for the past two days while sharing an airbnb with several friends.. I feel so noticed

I am chronically destroying my cuticles due to stress and maybe the most thoughtful thing my wife does is notice when they’re not looking so good.

Emily: REEEAALLLYYY??!! Me: 😆😆😆

I love Assassin’s Creed for the same reason as Emily - the exploration. And the plot is whatever. I just bought Assassin’s Creed 3 and the first thing I did was discover all of the discovery points.

Just started Blue Prince this weekend, have never thrown my headphones so quickly when Emily warned of spoilers lol

Just a heads up you guys uploaded this as a .wav file so it 10 times as large as normal, I'm assuming you didn't mean to make the show lossless haha

Pedantically, it was lemon meringue pie

Smaller meatballs are great tho, the ones you with a toothpick too!!

Sleepovers are the best! There was something magical about realizing my friends existed outside of school AND they came over to sleep in my space. I hope Jake and Caldwell get hype about being a safe space where their kids and friends can get together and yell in the basement. 🙌😂 My daughter is 6 and we're rocking sleepovers, I love it! And yeah, Jake, you do gotta make them dinner and breakfast. It's payback for all the times you did it to your mom 😂

My friends and I often debate, given the same mass would you rather have M&M sized meatballs or softball sized meatballs? Also the ouroboros breadsticks might be the funniest dumb thing I’ve ever heard

@Murph: Off topic, but I’d love to see you do a one-shot episode for the duck crew of them fighting the monster that they had to run away from, after falling into that grave trap. The crew is the level they were at the end of C3, but that monster had also gotten stronger for revenge. Imagining them walk into an area that becomes a bloodborne boss style fight is funny to me 😂

Emily becoming a gourmet patent troll was great!

Gonna have 1000 percent agree with the Frankenstein is the monster... If not why is the sequel called bride of Frankenstein... She ain't for the doctor 😜

I was also convinced someone was going to be in the wolf’s head pure, tbf

Caldwell mistaking Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Diamond is Unbreakable for real life

loved the episode but the squeaking of the bats and rats and whatever in the background is sooooooo distracting to a guy like me with tinnitus,, my headphones make it sound like it’s a real squeak just barely audible but unignorable lol

On the subject of OGU's mascot, the Two Crew should look up photos of Olive Garden's "Ollie & Friends," preferably the older iterations 🫒

It’s Lemon Meringue dog

Isn't a nude scarecrow just a pile of hay?

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned but assassins creed has a discovery tour set for some of their settings that lets you just explore the world (more for education)

You guys joke, coincidentally though, whilst moving through my vinyasa yesterday, not once but twice did my gnarly razor of a big toe, swipe me, causing a 1cm sq loss of skin to my wrist and opposite foot. Literally the same day my wife called my toes "disgusting" and "could kill". The nail in question, slightly overgrown yet harderned and sharp as a steel edge. Since cut, and lesson learned

My preferred move is that when someone refers to Dr Frankenstein you say “you mean the Modern Prometheus?”

look up MoviePallette if you wanna see color theory in movies

If lesser restoration removed exhaustion it would massively break the consequences for skipping a long rest.

I wonder if these days kids just have their phone to look at when they’re up early at sleepovers. It’s always funny to look back at times in your life when having nothing to do meant, like, staring at the wall. Anyway I had the curse/blessing of always being louder than i meant to be, so eventually a grown up would show up and give me food.

Sounds like a vampire would make beef gurewitch

when I went to sleepovers I would wake up in the middle of the night and freak out because everyone looked dead, go wake up the kid's parents and demand to be taken home. I was truly the worst child lol

When I was like 8 I threw up once a month randomly. I was at a sleepover and started to feel bad but we were such loud kids that the mom literally locked her door and shoved pillows against the door. I had thrown up in the kitchen sink (because what are the bathroom rules) and everyone was asleep and I was BANGING on the mom’s door at like 3 am. She very begrudgingly opened the door and then felt bad and called my mom who very begrudgingly picked me up

Gotta say, been in a relationship with a lifelong vegetarian for 9 years now. For my birthday, I get a ribeye every year and then go to the movies. Got unlucky this past year and the steak was overcooked multiple times and we had to make our movie so I didn’t get my birthday steak. As a joke, my partner said that he’d make me a steak. Reader: he did buy a 3 pack of ribeyes (for insurance) and did research on how to cook a steak. I like mine medium rare. His first try was medium (which is crazy because he’s literally never cooked meat). He did oversalt it though because he knew I liked salt (I have POTS so I crave it) so I just made another one. I have been informed this is going to be an annual tradition. I guess he’s only gonna cook meat once a year now

We need a view crew for goofy movie. Please please please lol

She never called it out by name, but I'm pretty sure the vampire book Emily was talking about was A Discovery of Witches. Also: Still Team Bourne, every time it comes up 🫡

As a kid, I absolutely related to Murph freezing on the couch once he realized the dad was in the room. Now as a man, I definitely relate to the dad who wasn’t about to let some rando interrupt his morning.

I travel with a nail file - glass, of course - but not clippers. Because I don't cut my nails, I file them down.

Shout out to all my Gilmore Ghouls! Also happy 40th Murph!

need that key lime pie rec

I need a nathan for you style show with all of the short rest business ideas

That final quip nearly killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Murph definitely gives off immaculate nail care. (also, of course my goat is a fellow libra!!!! rise up!!!1)

Don't worry Jake, I see you with that hard boiled egg comment. Good Abe Sapien pull.

is the short rest episode a whopping ~600 mb file size for anyone else on podcast rss (vs usual ~70 mb)

happy murphday

Why do I feel attacked by the beginning of this short-rest? I didn't mean to let my toenails nails get that long, sheesh 😅😂

Caldwell was def thinking of Kira from Jojo's as a serial killer with a nail obsession

I hope Murph's ok with his nasty nails.

2 minutes in and have already gotten a peak into Jake's personal life I'm not sure I truly needed. Cut your toenails my good man

Been waiting for this since the episode. My gods is this some of my favorite Trinnyvale works as someone who has tried to run a Strahd campaign

HAPPY MURPHDAY!!!!!!!

Let's goooooo!
