Short Rest: The Mavrus Chronicles - Ep 5: Into the Kelp Forest (w/ Zac Oyama)

The beginning of RotTopic/McDonald's Land (spoilers for The Founder!)

I have never been more genuinely disgusted at an opening in my life

Wow Emily tried so hard to murder the boys this episode 😂

I had a first grade student who coughed up a bit of phlegm and looked at me with horror, as if he was worried that he had some kind of disease. As an allergy sufferer, I just assured him that, even though it was gross, it was actually perfectly normal and to just wash his hands.

I will yet again reiterate, how baffling it was to me that Murph asked the turtle-tender if they would like for him to KILL and EAT one of his turtles. WHAT!?

anyone after making a somewhat obscure reference: Caldwell you know what i’m talking about right? Caldwell: Yeah! *drops an insane amount of lore*

Caldwell missed the perfect opportunity for a pun ... dinosaur chicken nugget diet = Paleo diet lol.

Oh would you look at that I hate this thumbnail picture 😭

Jake is so effortlessly funny! 😂 getting caught laughing at somthing you know nothing about 🤣 "gerard way". "Ha ha ha" "oh you know Gerard way?" "Hmmm?" Killed me hahaha 🤣🤣

Too young to know about the 7-up game but it did remind me of the Pepsiman game on ps1! Good times

What we used to do when I was a kid was spray alot of perfume or colonge on our hand and then light it on fire. The fire wouldn't burn for a few seconds thwn we would rush to put it out.... good old days

For months the image of this chicken nugget has truly haunted me while I scroll past it to find other short rests. What a privilege it is to know the context.

The 7-up game for Super Nintendo a reference I wasn’t expecting but also will not stand for slander of

She’s not sexy she’s a nugget

Emily saying “is this boring to hear all this by the way” and everyone in the world including Jake saying NO 🥹

"You made me drop my Swisher Sweet," is so relatable

I'm gonna give a rose to Emily for the description of the teleportation mishap bones at the end of the sode

I'm listening to naddpod for the first time and he really did it. The madlad put the lady mcnugget as the cover.

Re listening and a realized I had the Spot goes to Hollywood game and had no idea it was the 7 up spot til u guys said this

Going back to the fact that the thumbnail shows up in people’s cars. Mine shows up on my watch at work. It’s quite entertaining sometimes

I love the dolphin hate cause they’re genuinely such assholes. Then sharks just get shit all the time when they’re pretty passive.. it’s so unfair lol

The nuggets are back. I went through the McDonald’s drive through and was met with the dead eyes of a nugget monster

I was so sure that was a weird ass potato

always a good sode when the cover is different than norma

i’m baffled at the nugget content

Zippo lighter gang

I carry a Zippo lighter and have never smoked in my life, I just think they are cool lol

Turtle is apparently delicious. They would 'store' the poor guys on their backs on ships and eat them later. It was a huge moral boost because they tasted so good and were a reprieve from hard tack.

OMG those encounters are BRUTAL

I like how Jake said spiderman shoots a "net"

This is why they made the KFC anime dating game free. I wouldn't pay for it but I absolutely did get it since it was free.

you know its going to be a great short rest when it comes with a picture

Ah i understand the art now

*standing ovation* nugget was worth it lol good choice

N U G G E T

Zac Oyama main game campaign 2 please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Cool Spot was like a mix between Bubsy and Vectorman

That nugget potato will haunt my nightmares. Guarantee it.

i can relate to murph too hard on the booger stories

Mavrus Chronicles is just the best. It's what finally pushed me to become a patron and I look forward to all the content y'all put out.

I absolutely love everything that comes out of NADDPOD but I'm sorely disappointed that no one has made a krillin reference in regard to hungry Dave throwing straight up destructo-discs

Oh god the cover art 😂😂

I have never cried, laughing, harder during a short rest

The cover art for this episode is genuinely horrifying

OH MY GOD! I JUST RELISTENED TO THE INTRODUCTION OF MAVRIS AND HIS ROOMMATES NAME IS CARL

My favorite part of these is when everyone gaslights Brian

The thumbnail gave me a heart attack

This was absolutely the funniest short rest I've listened to. I love all of you!

We nuttin on some nuggets everyone?!

As a Kid in the 90s, the "The Burger King" Xbox games that they released were honestly solid games.

I'm sorry, implying that the Cool Spot game was good? Hmmmmm

Dude I have several of the Halloween nuggets

I miss the Halloween buckets you got with happy meals

Out of context: funny. With context: absolutely hilarious. Why would mcdonalds give this nightmare toy to kids?

the lady chicken nugget divided them like KT

Speaking of Ad based video games, I used to play the SHIT out of the Cap'n Crunch computer game. Looking back now that game was freaky, but I LOVED it as a kid lmao

My friends and I used to throw molotovs at rocks down by the beach when we were bored. We also made potato cannon and found all sorts of stupid places to fire them off. Also used to do the hand Zippo trick Caldwell talked about and would also like to cover out hands with sanitizer and light them in the dark.

Bonfrere zippo! Love the encounters that could have been in the kelp forest. Hate the nugget eyes.

I listened to this on Apple Podcasts first.... and the female nugget is so much worse than I imagined

At start: "What is this potato" 40min in: "......"

Make a bonfrère zippo cases for the merch shop!!!

i don't see that on ebay any more I know one of y'all bought it.

What was the audible thing that Suse did? I forgot to write it down and can’t remember when it was. Also when I was younger. I was very new to hucking/hocking? loogies. We were driving down some farm roads and I went to huck/hock out the window..somehow the wind whipped it back around I must’ve not turned my head, and the biggest loogie ever just reversed and went allll over my face and in my hair. 5/7 would not recommend.

Introducing. . . Mac & Hardwon's Exotic Meat Purveyor! We got horse, we got turt, we got screamin' oysters. Home of Bahumia's first and only non-vegan brew! Mmm, it's so gamey!

oh god they actually used that image for the podcast thumbnail

i am actually crying at the image of murph as a child sleeping on california raisin bedsheets

Em, listening to the fruits of your insanely creative mind is never boring.

This thumbnail is Bon Frère behavior

The nugget got me going I was so confused and died

I was cooking and so hungry while listening to the short rest... at the beginning. All the booger talk made me crack up but also a bit sick ;D

That nugget looks like Mrs. Potato Head without a hat or any limbs

This is amazing. Also Murph, you just reminded me that I had California Raisin figurines when I was little...

I’ve never been so confused and then so delighted by album art.

Also I had a full bite of pasta in my mouth when Jake told the booger story and almost threw up on my kitchen table 👌

I love that we had no context for lady-nugget until literally 10 minutes to the end of the episode lmao

"but I hauked too hard"

Best 1st level spell IMO is find familiar ,don't know how "cinematic" it is though, goodberry is pretty clutch too.

Hi Caldwell! I know this is a weird suggestion, but if you like Julio Torres and you understand a bit of Spanish, there a similar comedian with a huge focus on shapes and forms and abstract ideas named Miguel Noguera. Also, great nugget content!

don’t worry Murph, i liked your Gerard Way joke

This is why I listen to this podcast. For the nugget content.

that potato made my dad

I was extremely unprepared for the context for this photo

SUDDENLY EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE

The potato looks like it knows what happens next Episode and is laughing at us lol

Hey that's Julio's nugget friend!

That potato has the most threatening aura I've ever seen

It scares me

That's just precious.

Nugget!!!!

Potato or egg????

I'm here for potatoes!

Please keep the potato

The potato is new

Im sorry what

The uh. The picture is different this week

Why is that he photo
