The Band of Boobs and the Direct Messenger watch and review the first episode of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon series from the 80s! We talk about the INSANE opening sequence involving an enchanted roller coaster, their little unicorn buddy, and Emily's new obsession with winning a portable grill in a grocery store Monopoly game.

hello seven year old mixed bag episode, im team million. its also awesome to witness what may have very well been the inspiration for obsidian
i still watch this show lmao its honestly great
Presto's Earth name is Albert. So...enjoy that I guess.
2026, team grillion, you gotta take the deal
Absolutely #TeamGrillion
whoaaaa was uni the subconscious inspiration for obsidian?
Relistening and I thought that immediately, too!! I wonder if they remember Uni?
I love when Caldwell laughs so hard he starts choking 💜
I'll take a Billion portable grills. For my own reasons
Team Million Dollars, for sure 😂 though I do think if anyone could offload a billion grills, it’s Jake.
Just noticed an Easter Egg in the 2024 Players Handbook. The illustration on page 32 is the characters from the cartoon show.
Just checked my own PHB, that is so cute!! love that there's a Unicorn on the wall for Uni too, I bet there's other references here I don't get too
Someone needs to make a count of how many times Emily mentions making grilled cheese with garlic lol
“The popular girls made fun of my frizzy hair” was too close to home for me as a fellow curly girlie.
I just found licensed action figures for the characters of this show at Walmart in the clearance aisle which blew my mind Did not buy them and don't want to buy apparently other people don't want to either haha
I've had Hallelujah stuck in my head for 4 days after listening to this again
I’m with Jake on this. You have a constant profit coming in with having to manufacture the grills
I don't know why but I did the maths based on a small grill o found online and 1 billion grills stacked end to would wrap around the earth almost six time and could reach more than half way to the moon
Think of the environmental impact! #teammillionaire
I certainly agree with murph about going into the wheel of time.
I forgot that this was the grill episode 😂
How do you talk about grills so long
Wait, is this the first draft of the Obsidian voice?
Yes Jake hit the grillionaire reference I'd been thinking the whole time
1man2hands, 5 million comments. why do you flood the comment section instead of just editing comments you've already made? seems uncouth
I thought she was gonna say the BIRD in Mulan
Uni sounds like it was Snarf. Including Caldwell's impression even
God they talk about GoT so much
Wait is this the ACROBAT one? Are they gonna mention acrobat
What I took from this is Emily is totally batshit crazy, but in an endearing way. I'm also team million dollars.
I upped my tier purely to hear this Grillionaire stuff. 100% worth it.
Grillionaire is so good.
#TeamGrillion for sure! Also I can’t believe you didn’t mention the line “I don’t ride anything that gives milk”😂 (I love you guys so much!!!!! You make my week! ❤️)
yo!! avid D&D player here. Its based on D&D 2E. There was Acrobat which was a thief subclass. In second edition. Now as for "merlin" in D&D, he was more Elminster was the merlin of the D&D but if they used Elminster no one would really connect with the character. as were if they used Merlin then they could have people make the connection to the fact he was a powerful wizard.
billion grills for sure
Billion grills all day. If someone picks a million dollars I would love to borrow some to help start up construction of GRILL CITY, THE FIRST TOWN EVER MADE OF PORTABLE GRILLS
You'd have to get Amir in on the billion grills, he has an in with the guy who does Sys Ops for Maersk!
That’s right and I have an in with Copenhagen!
How in the WORLD was this a single episode?? The plot you described was even more involved than the Warcraft movie!
Me: please be the shitty one for my childhood please be the shitty one for my childhood Emily: 5 frames of them on a rollercoaster Me: FUCK YES THAT MUST'VE BEEN MISERABLE TO WATCH
The money, absolutely the money! Hahaha
I’m loving Jake as the Billy MacFarland of the portable grill industry
I'd take the money over the grills
grills
I think it was Emily's laugh, but she sounded like a seagull, so I guess we now know her bird.
I’m with Jake. Billion grills all the way
I would pick the Star Wars universe (pre-Disney). I would be a neutral force user, using Jedi mind tricks to sell the billion portable grills. The Empire would have a grill in every room on every star destroyer and Death Star.
I’d also be a Grillionaire just because it sounds more impressive than a millionaire.
Oh my god. I nearly pissed myself laughing during the discussion of how Jake would easily sell a billion grills. I was having a really tough week and god this made it so much better.
1 billion grills, sell 1 million grills to major retail outlets, buy a small fleet of ice cream trucks, retrofit into food trucks, boom first chain of food trucks, then franchise out. Ezpz
Need to know what model grill to make an informed decision...#teamdollargrills
Deffo Team million! May assist Jake the grillionaire with a spreasheet or two.
I love mixed bag. Keep the 8 bit book club dream alive
This was absolutely INSANE I don't know if I've ever laughed this hard in my life
Murphs a fucking finch
1.) Murph, you are such a hawk. 2.) What NPC were the "Angels" you used? Homebrew or something else?
They were Battleforce Angels from Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica!
The hiatus is still kind of over!! 8 bit book club is still kind of back its just not about video game books and Jake's here. Which is good.
I literally found this and watched it after I 1st started listening to your podcast! 😂 This is going to be a GREAT mixed bag! Looks like my Thursday Night is going to be completely filled with the Band of Boobs!!!
