Short Rest: Gangs of Neo Galaderon - Ep. 4

I feel like Murph would LOVE fantastic Mr fox... hes gotta watch it!!!

I think watching any wes Anderson movie after any two other movies would be kind of like simulating a hangover

Totally feel the drab feeling with cyberpunk. It’s the same way with sci-fi in general. Which is funny, cause I hate downers, but sci-fi is my absolute favorite genre

Ironically, just this past peek I picked up the FFVII Remake (the newer/cleaned up “Intergrade” version) during the Square Enix Summer Sale on the Switch 2 (for only $13.99!). Fantastic game - especially for that price! On top of the great gameplay, the game is perfectly paced, that I barely put my switch down. Some may call that a waste of a day, I highly disagree lol

for the record, i do not consume caffeine really ever and my wife drinks energy drinks everyday and she gets brutally sick everytime we go out of town... she never used to when we were younger, just a thought

Cyberpunk ActBlue riff was 10/10

Whoa guys, Spoilers for Bazinga! Young Sheldon Spoilers inside was not mentioned in the ep description

I’m a grandparent kid and yeah been old my whole life 😂

FF7 rebirth had wayyy too much filler fr

Relating hard to trailing off on the “take better care - - -“ while looking at my husbands gold dragon-esque hoard of Red Bull empties

Saying this with all the love in my heart because I know most people dont really get their shots til they have kids but please make a habit of getting them. Im a nurse assistant in the pulmonary wing of a hospital and if you are able to please get flu and COVID shots. At least in the US, you can get them for free with insurance at Safeway or CVS and most cities and states have free alternatives for those who don't have insurance. Im not an immunologist but the advice I was told to give is to get your shots September-November. Here is the link for the safeway vaccine scheduler if anyone wants it for flu season https://www.safeway.com/pharmacy/vaccines-and-immunizations/flu-shot.html

So sorry to hear that Murphy and Emily got sick, and a couple people here already mentioned it…but just a reminder that Covid definitely can damage your immune system! (Esp repeat infections) People like to joke about it and talk about “during covid” but it’s still very much here! And it can make other illnesses hit a lot harder! Wearing a mask is still the best way to not get/spread it! At the very least on flights and to doctor’s appts/hospitals.

Get the flu shot just because RFK jr doesn’t want you to. Be healthier out of spite.

This whole campaign is giving me Arcane (LoL) vibes.

No shots for like 10 years and haven't been sick more than 3 times in all that time

The only association I have with Euro Trip is that I had a friend who said it was funny and so he gave me the movie on VHS, but I was “too Christian” at the time, so I threw away the VHS without him knowing.

They did not follow Sir Elmer's wishes, but they follow in his footsteps: making community, taking care of young souls who have no one else looking out for them. I'm not crying, you're crying. Why is this stupid podcast so beautiful?

Unfortunately this episode made me wanna play FF7, Cyberpunk, and Resi 9 and now I have choice paralysis

...thats literally the effects of long covid yall. Broken down immune system bc it can't work as effectively anymore. To be clearly autistic - i honestly cannot fully tell if yall joking or not about it sometimes, but as a poor disabled person whose been severely disabled by my immune system, i hope you take it seriously for more sake than just your own. Community care is cool baby

Crazy hearing the wolf discussion after just getting back from sleeping in a cabin with a glass bedroom so you can see wolves. haha I paid for this joy and it was great. (Cedar Meadows in Timmins, Ontario)

A grenade deer?

I dunno when you recorded this but I was recently horrified to learn that there is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi spinoff for the big bang theory on the way out.

I love all of Emily’s characters but when she plays a wizard or a barbarian it’s just really special

The wolf conversation is classic short rest material. I miss Surprise Round

As a fellow energy drink addict,I’m with you Murph! Also Celcius is full of vitamin C - so that should help right? 😂

murph has once again mentioned warriors (the movie) and i desperately need murph/emily to listen to the warriors musical!

Even if you never get sick, please always get the annual flu shot! You might carry the illness to others regardless of whether you have any symptoms or not. <3

I wonder if Caldwell or Murph are playing pragmatica

The Road mentioned! 🙌

When we went to see x men days of future past…the theater started the movie 20 minutes *early*. We literally walked in as Logan woke up in 1973

I also got so, so, so sick after radio city

When I was about 5 or 6 and went to see The Lion King, the film broke as Simba was shouting for Mufasa after the stampede 😢

When the wolf winks has such pleasing alliteration ☺️

The story of how they got Matt Damon and shot "Scotty Doesn't Know" is truly insane and worth looking up. I read an article about it a few years ago, but can't remember where.

They did recently document intentional tool use in wolves...

CDC defunded. I've been sick a dozen times this year and never before got sick more than once every 5 years beforehand. It's the trump admin spreading pestilence.

Guys please get your yearly flu and COVID shots 💙💙 you'll stop getting extremely sick

First, great job Emily!Heads up: the energy drinks are dehydrating you, which is absolutely making you sick. Drink water and take care of yourself! and get your Flu shot!

I can’t believe Emily almost didn’t mention the wolf wink thing. Can you imagine?

I was once camping in badlands and there was a pack of Coyotes probably only a few hundred meters from our tent. The howling was extremely unnerving even knowing they were mostly harmless, couldn't sleep all night. Wolves are like three times their size. Just freaks out the caveman survival instinct part of your brain.

re: wolves and doors - my husky learned to open my front door to let himself in - it was like one of those like top tabs with a lower handle, he’d jump on the door and push down on the top tab and his weight would open it forward from there - so It’s Possible

Energy drinks are absolutely making you sick

I similarly get overwhelmed by the tendency for modern AAA games to bombard you with quests, but Cyberpunk kinda worked for me. You never rly have to go searching for these things to do. They just kinda come to you as you're doing other stuff and you can choose to ignore them or not.

Brian Kevin Patrick Murphy! Get your Flu Shots!

Immunologist here: not how it works, you just got a new strain of flu or recent variant of COVID that your body doesn't know about. Sorry Murph!

Murph as a new 40+ year old man myself... you gotta look after yourself.

I think having a caffeine addiction bad enough to have withdrawals and not getting the flu shot is why murph is getting sick.

Please get the Flu shot, it’s not just for your own sake but it helps prevent it from spreading to immunocompromised people.

Ok so I have a wolf wink story. Growing up I lived on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Well one cold winter night I was sent to warm up the car. I started the car and hopped in the backseat waiting for the family to come out. When all of a sudden a wolf came right up to the car door and looked inside. I was a little lad so my eyes barely came over the top of the windowsill. We locked eyes. I’ll never forget these eyes. I’ve told this story ever since and my family doesn’t believe me. Well NADDPOD family you all know of my wolf wink story

I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for a weird triple feature! One time I went to the movies and I saw Birds of Prey, Sonic the Hedgehog, and ended it with Jojo Rabbit! All good in their own way, but my god they didn’t really go together well. I bought tickets for all of them, and I’ve done a couple other triple feature days!

Cyberpunk but with whimsy! So.. Shadowrun!

trying to figure out why Murph got so sick and then revealing he never gets the flu shot is a great bit

the back half of this short rest was a psychic assault on the millennial brain

See, there's "death is on the table", where a character could die, and that's cool and gives stakes. Then there is "death is ON the table", where the DM has a planned tpk. Less fun. Murph definitely does the former

I remember working at the theatre before the movies were digital. The film melted on one right in the middle and we had to stop the movie, cut the film strip, tape it back together, and then reset the reel. 😅

Get those science juice shots people! Feel better soon!!! Also, if you’d like wake up to a wolf winking at you, check out parc omega in Montreal.

Does Murph not realize he's describing (caffeine) addiction at the start? Yeah man, taking the drug cures withdrawal like magic, that's how that works!

What’s up NADDPOD! Great episode as always, murph and em feel better for sure! I hope Caldwell liked the One piece bag I gave him at radio city! Let me know if you guys like the dice my wife and I made for you!

you wake up in the middle of the night. its storming but yet its dry. no rain just lightning and thunder. as you lay there staring out your window, a flash of light streaks across the sky lighting up everything. you notice standing out in the field outside your window, a creature 6ft tall, beer gut, green fur. you couldent be to sure but was it the grinch? booooooom the thunder cracks and before it even has time to end another flash of lightning strikes. now standing 5 feet away you see it again. the grinch, or atleast a person in a impecable jim carry grinch outfit. you jump out of bed knowing your car is in the garage and could be started and you can drive away. or. you can grab the baseball bat next to your bed and find out if the grinch is real. what do you do?

If it’s any consolation, Murph, the Radio City Music Hall show was perfect in every way and honestly kind of worth you getting brutally sick.

We should all be spinachmaxxing (taking a handful of spinach, forming it into a tight ball, and then eating it like an apple)

Nice

Shanghai noon is such a good movie

EuroTrip mixed bag when?

I laughed when Murph said Shanghai Noon because the only time I have had a movie theater malfunction was during Shanghai Knights. Weirdly specific haha.

Cyberpunk tip: you can set calls to auto go to texts

We had a theater accidentally jump directly to the end of the seventh Harry Potter movie. They reset it, and it immediately jumped back to the end. So I got to see Dobby die three times, which was hilarious.

Murph’s illness was pee shivers

I was so sick the other week with a headache and cannot recommend The Tainted Cup audiobook enough (got through the first two books of the series) when my headache made it so I couldn’t look at screens.

This is probably a stretch and the brain looking for patterns that don't exist but it genuinely feels insane this is the second time I've heard wink -> wank within 24 hours, acting as the closer for the show!

Uncle Drilly is literally everything to me.

Well now I'm also gonna have to picture Uncle Drilly as Junior Soprano with a gun arm

GET THE FLU SHOT!

So Big Bang Theory is kind of my guilty pleasure show, I know it's not a good representation of nerd culture but I find the characters oddly endearing. Young Sheldon is actually a really solid family sitcom, my wife and I enjoyed it thoroughly, laughing and crying often. The end is a heavy hitter. To each their own, certainly, but genuinely I think YS is good.

I’m sorry to hear how sick Murph got and that Emily has now caught it too!!! This is more in case anyone else reads it and is thinking “oh my god I got sick way worse this year too!” than expecting 2 crew to read it but, I work in healthcare and we got a lot of alerts about how much more intense this year’s flu variant was - the season started earlier than normal and it was a particularly highly mutated strain, so it was just a perfect storm. Lots of people got more sick than usual from it even when vaccinated (though that still minimised severe symptoms, don’t get me wrong lol). Also bonus nerdy thing, I listened to a Radio Lab episode that talked about how women’s immune systems are often better, but also prone to *over* aggressive responses so it can lead to more autoimmune conditions in that population too. Obv there’s more nuance there, but I am a science nerd and it blew my mind. So maybe it isn’t entirely the energy drinks lmao?

Ahaha yes, you can turn Cyberpunk 2077 to silent mode 😂 you’d get silenced text messages and then have like dozens of texts to read

Emily yet again coming in to save the day to prevent an episode kerfuffle

Hey guys! So I use to get sick like Murph all the time but here is what it sounds like: - you miiiiiight have allergies Murph, I’d recommend you go see a throat, nose ear doctor and if that doesn’t help then go see an allergist (it’s how we found out my cousin can get allergic to the common cold; FUN FACT!) - while on planes be sure to wipe down the arm rats, the seat rats, the tray rats, the window rats, etc basically put a colorix wipe down before you touch it. Airplanes don’t get deep cleaned and many germs live on those surfaces. There is more but I hope this helps! Great episode!!

I’m not gonna distance diagnose a man I don’t know but also I stopped getting as sick and headachey after college when I stopped slamming energy drinks all day

I don't know where to ask this, but is there a place Murph has his mechanics to see? I'd love to add some of his stuff to my home games, but I don't know where to find it? Especially some of his epic moving battles and army battles!

I did see The Road and Fantastic Mr. Fox as a double feature lol. Watching FMF second was definitely the move.

Caldwell, you don't want jigsaw, you want one of the dr forrestors to shoot you into space. MST3k bay-bee!

Hope Murph is feeling better! I also had the same flu-like sickness and it lasted for so long... the inability to do anything but lie down and be miserable was the *worst* 😭

We made Murph sick 😷

A short rest before noon? You spoil us!!

I really enjoyed this episode! Sucks to hear how sick you were Murph, but its good Emily was there to save you ^^ however, while flu shots do also help a lot - wearing a mask when ur in at least larger areas especially while traveling is going to be much better for you. I think most ppl atp have gotten their immune systems wrecked by covid, so even if u didn't contract covid - the cold or flu or other "minor" illnesses will be much harsher on you guys, like why Jake says he also struggled when he got sick this year. I hope you guys take care of yourselves seriously 💜 haven't listened to the rest of the SR yet but don't underestimate sicknesses especially post 2020

Best way to drive home from work on Friday!!!

Let's go! Loving these early drops!!!
