The chute is one of my favorite Naddpod moments 🩵
“I didn’t mean to crit” that’s so Emily
A secret chord, that Tread played and it pleased the door
hearing someone say Fall Guys is great in 2026 is jarring lmao
Hungry Dave was in choir
Don't think we didn't hear the NOHsensical joke Emily
Jake’s characters seem to have a tendency to get covered in jelly/jam
Once again; this is an episode I cannot listen to while out in public I’m laughing too hard at this
I was listening to this as I fell asleep last night and had to stop because I kept laughing out loud and annoying my roommate. top tier ep boys
You’re fucking lucky you can slurp
Dave has a doth squad!
Oh, i guess not
Hungry Dave is ambi-disc-trous.
God i love relistening to this over the summer
this felt like a fever dream 😭😂
For Emily, DM = Dungeon Marine Biologist (I was hoping there was a one-word version like marinologist or marinobiologist, but apparently that's not a thing)
At one point Jake said octopus in the Tread voice and it fully came out as “Octopous” and I love it
41:35 for those chronic relisteners
Those are the best shot glasses. (This entire podcast makes me so happy)
"Sandbar to side bar and back again" is just such a perfect slogan for this group 10/10
*slight spoiler* I’m spooked because I had a nightmare last night about a vampire squid
Those shot glasses NEED to be merch! 😍😍😍
Mack needs to brew a "Pale Prince Ale" for the Culdanes. Fuck you. I love you. Eat a rat.
im convinced that jake hates Neighborhoods and Dogs Eating Dogs, there are suspiciously few mentions of either of those >.>
i'm really loving Emily's marine biology seminar disguised as a dnd podcast
This is such a fun campaign thanks gang!
Jake is doing such an amazing job of role playing an emo bard. *chefs kiss* to the lyrics for every song
You cooked your dice? You gave yourself a mod or something? This blew me away. I’m sure I’m missing some context
No judgements. I’ve just never thought of doing this
Dave fingered a cuddle fish
“Carl, why’s your neck so skinny?” Has me literally in tears right now.
I'm here for the Eiffel 65 nods, hannover style!
Loved animal facts both from Emily and the dolphin one from I believe it was Mac. Also, ale drake scene, so cute.
If you make the shot glasses available in the merch store, I will literally give you all my money.
Loving Animal Facts with Emily. Not joking, it’s very fun whenever she just drops some facts about marine life
underwater is as magical as a fantasy world, I had to show it some love. Also I read a book about octopi that made me really into them and cuttlefish, hence my insistence on bringing them up. -Emily
As a first time caster, Jake is pulling out some clutch moves! Also I want a graphic novel of this arc, the visuals are incredible
The slapping scene is such an anime moment
Oh man this was gold! I’m so ready for you to throw some Bon Frere Behaviour merch on naddpod’s store! Also, just putting it out there again, can we perma-invite Zac to the naddpod family for the next campaign? He’s such a gem 💎 Also, I have to say Emily that you’ve absolutely killed DMing! Great narration and always hilarious. We loved it!
I need the Bon Frere Behavior shot glasses more than life itself
and again...Jake fully killing it as a bard
Eiffel 65 reference fully landed
God hearing people talk about Scorching Ray without hearing "are you scorching ray?" Feels weird
I had the exact same thought!
Listen...jelly anatomy AND Eiffel 65? My heart is so full
Emily's insistence on the fact that cooking her dice is why she keeps rolling poorly is like... relatable but also so funny
Wait why would the Eiffel 65 ref go over peoples' heads???
My brother and I were just discussing how disgusting it could be to lock down an enemy with two spell casters using bestow curse like this! Great episode everyone! 😁
it was so cool, I was so proud. -Emily
Such a good fucking episode!! I’m so hyped by that ending!!! Emily Axford is the queen of dming! This is so dope!!
Absolutely LOVED the Im Blue (dab a dee)-Eiffel 65 reference. Also Emily's recaps are always *chefs kiss* she makes sure to make the bits the most important parts.
Came here for the reference, must be something about Hunters.
Octopus brass knuckles would be just rings, right?
Omg PLEASE make bonfrere shot glasses!
At first I thought Tred was a food wuss but he might just be the most sensible one with his food takes.
You guys are a goddamned meme factory and I love you. Such bon frere behavior.
Absolutely desperate for a bon frere behavior shot glass
It doesn't matter if I'm in the middle of listening to something else, whenever a new naddpod thing drops I just gotta listen to it ASAP
Oh hell yeah, perfect timing, gonna be a good run
Now this is how you start the weekend baby!!
Just watched first 3 episodes of season 2 The Boys. Now this dropped 5am here, so 3am west coast, perfection. PS thanks for the hard work.
me and murph just started The Boys last night! - Emily
