Short Rest: Trinyvale X Strahd - Ep. 16

I’m just here nearly a year later to say my dentist’s office played Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium on repeat for years

Ok I also said finding Nemo out loud so maybe Caldwell isn’t crazy.

My favorite forbidden smell is acrylic monomer or whatever it’s called, that purple liquid when u get acrylic nails

As a librarian catching up on nadpod, it brings me so much joy to hear all the library talk! Libraries are the best place to get movies and tv shows, but you can also borrow video games, board games, craft kits - you name it, we probably have it! Also, please come and just browse for as long as you like, we truly love it. 🥰 hang out, play games, or just waste an hour; we’re just happy to see you!

My forbidden smell is dusty heater

"Brush ALL your teeth" is a reminder I STILL have to tell my child and they're 10.

Begging y’all to make a “I lost my foreskin in Icewind Dale” souvenir mug

Fun facts! Carrots don't help your vision. It was war propaganda. We had a surplus

Riding the bus to random libraries to find "the most dvd" seems like a spin-off of Cards Against Humanity.

Finding Nemo played EVERY SINGLE TIME I went to the dentist.

My god, can I love you guys anymore? It’s like listening to my best friends!!

I have the Balnor #2 Dad which I adore!!

Forbidden smell: sharpie

PLEASE actually do March Dadness.

as a librarian, pls come loiter and check out our dvds 😭 we benefit from people just coming in and out the door lol

Brooklyn librarian here (who does work in a beautiful old Carnegie library) to say I am LOVING the library content. And yes New York City libraries do have DVDs. Keep using your library so we can get more!!

I hate wearing my glasses because they feel heavy on my face. Also, your eyes strain any time you look at something up close for too long (crochet and mini painting, for personal examples). I think I read a rule of thumb to take a 20 second break every 20 minutes to look at something at least 20 feet away. The trouble is remembering to do it...

As a librarian, I love hearing about Murph & Emily using their local library to get DVDs!

carrots being good for your eyes was WW2 propaganda to hide the development of radar technology 👌🏻

21:17 You can almost hear Murph's eyes lighting up at this opportunity

Use your local library without shame or regret!

Caldwell I clocked the Sebulba voice immediately!!!

Someone has 100% clipped their dick in the monster manual….. too many monster fuckers for it to be 0

What about March Dadness Surprise Round? Jasper or Brennan would be such funny guests! PS Forbidden smell is Skunk and yes I have smelled it SUPER close. My dog got sprayed outside my window when I was 13 and stuck inside for the summer with Lyme disease. I spent it reading all of the books that were out in the Wheel of Time series.

I look at screens pretty much the maximum amount that you can, detail oriented shit, I'm 41. I have better than 20/20 vision.

Love march dadness, as someone without a father I would appreciate this content

Yo if your library has multiple branches you can hit a button on their website to have them send dvds to your local branch so you don’t have to drive across town to get Grandma’s Boy. Shout out to Hennepin County libraries

Omg in hs when I didn’t have Netflix streaming I would get dvds of the office and parks and rec from the library

March Dadness sounds friendship ruining. Just go back on Um, Actually for a daddy episode. Keep it neutral

We sent y'all a funny ass shirt to the PO box and was hoping to hear about it in a Trinyvale ep. Did you guys get it?

Forbidden smell: maybe a bit too Dadcore, but WD40. I'd wear that fragrance... (secretly realizes no one is stopping him from doing this)

Plug for the absolute banger designs raising funds for the Mt Pleasant branch of the DC Public Library! Because truly, what is more punk than the public library? https://mtpfriends.bigcartel.com/

Was listening to this with my wife and when they said movie most likely to be playing in a dentist office I said “finding Nemo” because it was on a loop at my childhood dentist

My local library has not only DVD movies and audiobooks on disc, they have these little pre-loaded MP3 players with audiobooks, BYOH(eadphones), that are somehow both ancient and futuristic. A librarian told me they were really good for kids, but probably not the first one I noticed: DFW - Infinite Jest.

Caldwell wants “Melf’s Minute Meteors”

forbidden smell has got to be secondhand cigarette smoke. actively being smoked by someone else nearby, not that stale shit after your coworker comes back from lunch break

I’m reluctant to bring this up because I know how much murph absolutely hates it and I don’t want to set him off again, but one of the most DVD DVDs of all time has to be Anchorman.

Heh… NFTree

Caldwell would be interested to know there is an r/foreskinrestoration and they take it very seriously

My softball team was called "lick the bat"

Sawdust is absolutely my favorite forbidden smell

I’m pretty sure it’s been debunked that screens cause eye damage. At least that’s what my optometrist has told me and by just a quick cursory google. It just can cause discomfort and headaches but I don’t think it degrades your vision.

Good spells that cause a bunch of saving throws: contagion, wrath of nature, spirit guardians, hunger of Hadar, sickening radiance, wall of fire… I’m sure there’s a bunch more. It’s almost always just once per turn, but they’re typically good AoE damage + an annoying debuff, so bosses will generally want to burn resistances to make those saving throws

As the librarian that purchases DVDs for my library system. (Among other things!) the discussion about library DVDs made me smile. :)

Man. The bit where they were joking about one of the player having the module open and calling out the DM for not sticking to the module hit a little too close to home. During the month of October, my group had been doing Strahd. We play via discord and Roll20, and one of the players has all the books and treats the module like a Prima strategy guide and it was so frustrating because he made his character a mute barbarian who is only good in combat and whenever we were doing RP or diplomacy, he would say something like "my barbarian gets up and storms out of the bergomeisters house and starts digging under the pavilion by the lake to get the magic bow" The guy will ping all the traps on the map when we enter a new area and start talking about all the loot we should grab on the way and which NPCs are not worth talking to and it's so exhausting.

Muprh's balls made me lose count at the gym.

I fully lost it at "Murph's balls" - it came so out of nowhere... 😂

Absolute rose to the backflips Murph did to get the triplets "kinda" against the real-estate guy

Ah yes, nutball. We played it with the chunkiest Air Jordan that whoever was playing was wearing, but the rule is you had to lob it underhand. Also, protecting your face was totally acceptable, it was only protecting your balls that was a mark of dishonor.

Love the library love in this episode! Last time the two crew was in Minneapolis the show theater is near the beautiful Minneapolis Central Library! Not only can you get DVDs but you can get Vinyl records and they have listening rooms. Libraries are truly a crown jewel of society.

No one should be roasted for getting DVDs from the library! It's such a hack! I do Noirvember, where you watch a bunch of noir movies in November, and getting them from the library whenever possible has saved me at least $75 in digital rental fees just so far this month (and it's meant I could watch movies that aren't even available on streaming at all). And using the library helps them to justify their current funding levels and catalogs. :D Physical media rules!

Can we pleeeease have a merch club drop that's a tea towel or anything that says "I lost my foreskin in Icewind Dale" ? 😂😂😂

If you catch the garlic flower before it fully unfurls, those are garlic scapes! They are ridiculously good grilled with steak. Caldwell- “The Art of Fermentation” by Sandor Ellix Katz

Knowing that Emily's limit is austin drinking a mug of shit has me DYING in my car

I rented Tombstone from the library about a month ago

Finding Nemo was my first thought too!! I’m on your side Caldwell!

For the save or suck spells, sorcerers can kinda make you save twice by stacking with cantrips. My go-to is quicken spell Mind Sliver as a bonus action, and if they fail their INT save they get a bane on their next save, and then immediately cast Disentegrate or Lightning Bolt as my action. I try to save the higher level spells for when they've failed their mind sliver save.

I would absolutely buy I lost my foreskin at Icewind Dale merch

Please, please, never stop talking about DVD's at the library. Please start an actual book club, possibly an 8 bit one, at your library.

I worked at a library next to a senior center & my fave memory was a cute lil old lady checking out a Magic Mike dvd bc her daughter was going to take her to see the 2nd one and she didn’t want to be lost on the plot 🤣

🎵 Piiiickle in the moonlight, everybody's gearing up to fight 🎵

Some has definitely clipped their dick with the Quran

If I had a nickel everytime Caldwell had a storyline where a charusmatic, villainous business man with an accent tried to buyout a struggling winery id have 2 nickels. Which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice

#1 ndadpod

Here for JUST the library talk

I’m in awe of your Somm knowledge, the tennis ball is a sacred flavor, lol. It’s second only to ‘barnyard stalls’, ‘wet earth’, and ‘ozone’.

Carrots = eyesight is propaganda from WWII to cover up the invention of radar. It's mostly genetics and how much sunlight you got as a child

wow this episode was tailor made for me, an adult who had to get glasses at the age of 8 from reading my books in the dark… which I got from the library.

Heyya folks! I work for a theatre venue which is owned by a public library! We’d love to have yall! (Gotta shoot the shot ya know?)

Please tell me Tailsgiving is a one shot about that fucking weird kid from earlier in Strahd who nearly killed them with his teleportation circle and he finally makes it to mobius

as a new york librarian, loving the library love this short rest!!!

I used to be a 365 day/year contact wearer and I too psychologically associated glasses with bedtime. Until my doctor looked deep into the crusty windblown desert of my conjunctiva and begged me to stop.

Hit us with the holiday themed Tortle Tank for “Tanksgiving”

I've had glasses since preschool, my eyes are too dry for contacts, and lasik doesn't work on what I got. Putting them on just means I'm awake and not showering.

Hell yeah hotel transylvania saga, a comfort watch

The way I had to become a glasses gal at 32 lol. I’m too scared of lasik

This short rest started pretty on the rails, thank god for what it turned into

YEAHHHHHHH TRINYVALEEEE SHORT REST

Caldwell and I are the same my immediate thought was also Finding Nemo

Don't waste your time on Hotel Transylvania 4 -- straight to streaming and no Sand Man

I just got Grandma's boy from my public library.. crazy

notquitemytempo.gif

the day they stop discussing the fruits of the public library tree is the day my soul shatters

Finding Nemo has played at my dentist’s office before

Hell yeah just finished the ep!

Oh my Strahdge

Let's gooo!

🔥🔥🔥
