Short Rest: Ep. 59: Blood Rain

The lost media talk hits different knowing that in the year 2026 Hot Date is very close to becoming that :((

Not exactly a vitamin but I use a product called Nuun in place of a sports drinks for electrolyte replenishment and thats one of the few things I've felt an imidiate response too

Emily is so ahead of the curve with collecting blue rays and losing access to movies thanks to streaming licensing. 🤯 I love the way your brain works queen ✨ also now there needs to be a physical media version of this podcast so I can never lose it

Commenting on this from the strange hot summer of 2026 and a dvd of Hackers (blu ray or no) is way too expensive

Emily was channeling Nostradamus with that take on streaming services.

I want a shirt that says "that's like smelling a fart in a shit factory" - Murph 2019 Moonshine & the vampire sex episode now on OnlyFangs

From blu-ray collection to bortowing dvds from the local library 💿

Jasper must’ve listened to this short rest when he was planning his 2-shot for the Boobs. He heard them talk about how hard it would be to roleplay losing a memory, and decided to make stealing/erasing memories the focal point of his 2-shot’s final boss. So um.. please being Jasper back to DM again session or 2 again. I loved the world he created when he was a guest DM, and I felt like the mini-world he created deserved more than just 2 episodes.

As someone who grew up in Pittsburgh, the pronunciation of "Primanti's" is rough haha

Murphs p**** vampire is my rose for this episode hahaha

On the Blu ray debate, I think it's nice to have physical copies of thing. It feels nice having an actual, tangible object to hold all your memories, because you can look at it and be reminded of all the great memories you've made with it (this does just apply to Blu rays)

We need a rerelease of the chicken gear ngl. Full line

Skarsgard jackhammer hits different in a post nasferatu world.

At this point y’all got my money for a while since I’m this behind on everything 😂

Yeast is actually a fungus. If you're a fan of any alcohol, cheese, or bread, congrats! You like fungus poo

This episode has like 4+ minutes of dead air at the end. Just an fyi.

I know I'm so late but yes B12 vitamins make me feel better because I literally have neck arthritis which affects my nerves. Pee being yellow is because the excess vitamin is water soluble. I sound like "oh! vitamins cure you" people but my painkiller does come with both vitamin c and b12 and stuff so taking it normally actually makes me feel better.

now today in 2024, Emily is so ahead of her time on starting a blu-ray collection!!! physical media rules!

Please come back to Crittsburgh! 💛🖤

i would have liked to hear the dumb guy's story that he was telling before hardwon interrupted him - it sounded like he was going to give them insight into the Count's castle. also moonshine wasting a 4th level spell after already confirming that fake hardwon smelled wrong lmfao why is she exactly like me

#chickengear

I ordered chicken merch 45 years ago and it never showed up. Thoughts?

Makes me so sad that I was living in Pittsburgh at this time but I hadn’t heard of naddpod yet. Devestating. I’m in Georgia now though so need to make Savannah happen!

If they do go to Pittsburgh I hope they got this listener a great free seat

I love how Emily fucking came when caldwell mentioned the mushroom thing HAHAHA.

I laughed waaay too hard at this short rest

.........chicken would be an awesome shirt!

Emily’s hot topic sword guy comment really puts TUC Cody in a new light

Wait why would a bluray collection be weird?

"Have vitamins ever done anything for you?" "I love nutritional yeast"

Travis Mcelroy had to roleplay forgetting something VERY important

I've just listened to this after having gone through the merch a while ago not knowing what the ...chicken shirt was about and now I finally get it!!!! I need to go get this shirt now. Don't care how many times I need to explain it!

I definitely bought that Chicken shirt btw lol. Love it.

Murph escalated this Short Rest quickly.

I know this is an old episode but as a fan who just discovered this show a few months ago and is catching up AND a Pittsburgh native... It hurt very bad to hear it pronounced Pri-MON-ti's and not Prim-AN-ti's

.....chicken

Team chicken t-shirt

Pls make chicken booty shorts

chicken

THANK YOU Emily! Finally someone else thinks Netflix's original content isn't good

I am so pumped to see how many other people from Pittsburgh are naddpoles! Yinz will get quite the welcome, we'd be truly honored to host the Boobs.

... Chicken Need the patch Need the hat

Chicken shirt and also Mandy is fuckin' wild

I want chicken merch

I need chicken merch

I would totally buy ...chicken shirt

Is there any opportunity for Naddpod to ever come to Australia, Hardwon seem like the perfect Australian man to me

Pluses for still buying Blu-Rays (or DVDs): 1) you always have access to movies you like 2) when you have power but your internet is out, you still have something to watch 3) If money gets tight you can drop Netflix or etc and still get to watch your movies

Why isn’t the Short Rest feed on iTunes updating anymore? I refreshed it and looked for new eps there but there’s nothing after April 11. Anyone else?

#team....chicken?

I definitely vote for the sweatpants with "... Chicken" on the butt because most people will just think it's the end of the standard "Guess what?" "Chicken butt" exchange. So it may come across as less random to outsiders? Not that they matter... probably High Elves anyway.

I’m down for ...chicken hat.

Oh also in for...chicken patch

Ok so I LEGITIMATELY thought "damn moonshine sounding hella sexy" when talking to Langston. Then I felt bad. Sooooo happy I picked this up after murph!

If the Pittsburgh show is end of July beginning of August the band of boobs will only be 40 min away from pennsic. Which is a thing I think y'all would dig

Moonshine and Beverly during the double Hardwon wrestle: the REAL Hardwon would never pass up the chance to die

Ross Geller is a city pigeon

Please, I love .............. Chicken

I'm down with ...Chicken. I'm down with Pittsburgh.

full support of the "...chicken." shirt

uhhhh I am AGHAST at this Pittsburgh person mentioning PA’s mushroom output when the Mushroom Capital of the World is in in Kennett Square — aka the PHILLY area. smh go birds

I really love hearing about Emily’s latest obsession and the silly things they get off topic talking about during these short rests!

I will buy a "...chicken" shirt if you make one. I promise. Take my money.

Anyway, I’m surprised they didn’t mention it, but since Murph had said that everything in Shadowfell had a parallel to the mortal plane, I thought that it was going to be revealed that Grimhawk was Shadowfell’s version of the Krick, and that Langston was Shadowfell’s sort of upside-down Cobb. But hey, there’s still a chance, right?

Aaaagh Pittsburgh, so close but yet so far. I live all the way on the other side of Pennsylvania (where the mushrooms are *wink wink*... and the Amish.)

I agree with Emily, Ross is the only friend that sucks

More Chicken!!!

10000% down for ...chicken merch.

#Chicken!!!

I'm so glad there's so much love for the ...chicken merch! Ever since that episode, I'll just be going about my day and then randomly '...chicken' will just pop into my head in Balnor's goofy voice and I actually can't help but laugh out loud! All time favourite moment on the show!

We need something with "...Chicken" on it! Yes!

I would 100% buy a hat that said “...chicken” on it.

I originally thought Caldwell’s David Finch flub was him trying to go for Fincher, like the director of Se7en, which I think would have fit well, too.

YES YES YES PITTSBURGH YES YES YES YES PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF PELOR YES 😂

When I heard there were two harwons, my thought was to do an arcana check on the Queen's hammer. I doubt a mist monster could re-create a legendary weapon forged by Moradin himself

CHICKEN SHIRT PLEASE

I'd buy a ...Chicken T-shirt

Is anyone else having issues with the short rest not showing up in their podcast feed?

I listened to this episode as I was walking along the Monongahela River in downtown Pittsburgh. I was really excited to hear such a great pitch for our city. If I can offer one more point to try and tip the scale: As a direct result of listening to NADDPod, I was inspired to make an open offer on /r/pittsburgh to DM sample games of D&D to people who wanted to try it for the first time. I received dozens and dozens of responses, and I'm working through over fifty people who otherwise felt like the game was too intimidating to try. NADDPod has led to a lot of people rolling some dice for the first time, but Pittsburgh may be the only place with an Excel spreadsheet proving it.

I thought Murph's mispeak was because of the mist eating Hardwon's memories?

Not from Pittsburgh, just visited to see a friend out there and would highly recommend a show there!!! Though the tour does need a return trip to Seattle since I missed the first show!

Honestly a blank t shirt with very small, plain text in the center that said "blood and good should rhyme" would be hilarious

The T-Shirt I want is Murph in a DBZ tank top with a sword saying "I eat pussy" lmao

You guys should come to Kansas City for many reasons: I’m pretty sure that Moonshine’s cousins, the field elves are from around these parts. Also, for Jake, we have awesome rock climbing gyms and rumor has it you want to start lead climbing WHICH both my fiancé and I teach. For Murph, one word, barbecue. Sadly, we don’t have Jeff Goldblum for Caldwell.

I would absolutely wear a "... Chicken." Shirt. Please, Daddy and B.O.B. I think a navy blue shirt with "... Chicken." and Balnor's character sheet picture would be very, very good.

MELORA IS GOOD I have been hoping for a Pittsburgh show 😍 Also a Bad Blaad (?) shirt would be delightful

I would wear ...chicken pants everywhere. Including to work. Please gift me chicken mercy.

Down for a Chicken patch. Also, after listening to the FFVI fan fiction 8 Bit Book Club, I definitely checked to see if there is fan fiction of NADDPOD. Best believe someone has lemon'd Galad offering to blow Hardwon.

I want chicken gear

I would definitely want something that said ......Chicken, but I'm not sure that my vegan wife would approve. Maybe something subtle perhaps (not big text on a T-shirt).

In the defense of Blu-rays, I like getting box sets and movies for the commentary. Like the box set of gravity falls has commentary for every episode of the show.

Yeast is actually a fungus, even more appropriate for Moonshine!

They didn’t talk about the silver bullet!!

To have ..... Chicken on a dad hat seems like it would be the perfect merch

With all the chicken talk, instead of roses and thorns, they should've done their clucks, bawks or cheeps..

Sorry to say, but I do not want a juicy chicken ass.

Is anyone else having problems with the short rest content loading into their podcast lists on Apple podcast? It worked for almost a year and has suddenly stopped.

Isn’t Hot Date Netflix content?

I can't argue with the Crittsburgh pun but please grace this country's bottom! Atlanta!

Hell yes to ...chicken merch

I would buy the shit out of a ...Chicken tee-shirt. International Postage and all.

You should do a t-shirt with just the 🐔 emoji... I would totally buy that

There's another really good climbing gym in Pittsburgh called ascend. It would be awesome for you guys to do a show here.

Emily, it was an amazing and hilarious moment for us too. #ChickenGear

Blood-y Rain, Blood-y Rain ::sung to the tune of Purple Rain::
