Short Rest: C3 Ep. 1: D-Class Knights

Ngl I had never heard of Mr. Toad before listening to this podcast and now I feel like I know way to much about Mr. Toad.

I'm gonna say October 11th is hilarious

Guys Mr. Toad has to be a Sagittarius 😛

Caldwell confusing Beatrix Potter and A. A. Milne was a dagger to my heart.

Petrichor is the name of the sailboat I live aboard! I promised myself that I would name my first boat that.

Jake's deadpan timing always gets me

I lived on educational, cd-rom based video games! Mostly Math Blasters, which I friggin' loved, after graduating from Reader Rabbit. Mavis Beacon taught me how to type a full two years before my peers learned in fifth grade. I'd also like to give a special shout-out to The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, which was just logic/critical thinking skills. I'd fully play those games again, if given the chance...

Damn, I share a birthday with Michigan J. Frog? What an honor

Michigan J Frog is boomer frog!

Caldwell, I love Rockadoodle, I see u. That pink pheasant lady was so hot

I feel like Jake is to NADDPOD what Julia is to Drawfee they both never know what the rest of the groups talking about 😂

Really feel like caldwell should've ran with the blue aura when powering up.could've been like might guy, the blue beast of the leaf. Love everything yall do!

Despite being 16-bit, Glenn from Chrono Trigger is certainly a very hot frog.

I used to smell rain before it came. But it was in the tropics and the rain would blow in, so I imagine I was smelling rain having fallen a few miles away.

i need you guys to know that i used to watch this mr. toad show as a kid all the freaking time and i’m so glad other people are finding out about it

Wait. I thought the 2 crew knew LaunchPad is actually a thing lol. It's literally an online companion education source for university textbooks and it's the bane of every first and second year student's existence lmao

Not sure if anyone said it yet, but yes, they do make finger only gloves, and I bought them. Look up "finger sleeves" on Amazon. Sorry to Caldwell's child's college fund.

Caldwell’s pretty close on the French word for frog. It’s “grenouille”, and the only reason I know this is because it’s the nickname of an arms dealer on NCIS.

Rockadoodle is such a messed up movie

I've always pictured bullywugs as Globox from Rayman legends so when they talk about the blue crew, to me Sol already fit the blue crew

The Duck is definitely a familiar sent to spy on them I can feel it in my bones

That fucking shriek about Jake never being to Disneyland is perfect

Till this duck has a name, I’ll be referring to it as launchpad mcquack - aka their schools mascot

Rockadoodle!!!!!!!

I have a patio cat named Charli and she sleeps on my patio chairs and brings us small dead things. She also walks with us when we walk our dog and stays a little behind like a rogue. We give her chicken broth cubes in the summer.

I need a description of Sol's beautiful human teeth and his mating call.

Dying to know Mr. Toad's bday now. 😩

Battle toads baby! Hot frogs 🤩

Our new Hot Frog 👑 immediately made me think of this song: Lily Pad on Your Doorstep by Don’t Stop or We’ll Die https://open.spotify.com/track/3V8usEmpo2Adc6jSYNkdY5?si=Bdj5G2ZlSFCUn2JNaXQQnA

Um Actually... Caldwell and Emily say Emily's last name 'Axford' would smell of Axes. This name would actually either etymologically stem from either Oxford (meaning a shallow part of a river used for Oxen to cross) or Ashford (meaning the shallow part of the river you can use to cross near the Ash Trees), so Emily's last name could actually still smell of rain as those areas are commonly under a lot of rainfall.

Holy shit I love these goobers so much. Just the beginning of the short rest everyone loving on each other--this shit makes me heart so happy.

A big thank you to Caldwell for mentioning Rock-A-Doodle, a movie that I loved as a child, but no one else seems to remember! Don Bluth had such a great run.

Just for helping french canadian here the french for frog is " grenouille"

lol saw this shirt on my tiktok earlier bc someone got it special to take to Disney for Mr Toad https://gladracket.com/products/toad-hall?variant=38156368281776

3 stages of water. Shout out to the Dew Crew

So two things I felt: 1.) the description of ezry, the airships and newer tech, and magic being imbued into stones gives me BIG arcane season 1 vibes and I love it 2.) the combination of Callie’s water and Caldor’s ice reminds me strongly of the team up of the contractors “April” and “November “ from the series “darker than black”, which is one of my favs. Love it guys

I fucking love Rockadoodle and still get the songs stuck in my head even though I haven't watched it in years (which I should fix) Also "manastones" makes so much more sense than "monostones" as how the word had been popping into my head

Because of this my aunt and I watched the movie. I hope you’re happy. Good start to the new story though XD

I might be thinking of a different campaign but I'm pretty sure Who was first? 🤔

So Caldwell plays a hot martial arts frog man that attacks with giant fists that come out of him? Slap some cool shades on that bad boy and you got Rash from Battletoads: https://images.app.goo.gl/VyMqyzbQiEJVBKcK7

Gold star Murph! Hardwon was first in C1 and Fia was first in C2.

Thank you Caldwell for repping Rockadoodle! I sometimes believe that was a childhood fever dream I had

Sol as gas, Callie as liquid, Caldor as solid, and Duck as...plasma? Bose-Einstein condensate? It's too early to know for sure🤔 Find out next time in Episode 2: Bahumia Boogaloo!

The short rest is so worth the money

Still don't think I can express how excited I am to see you... Work is sending me to Hungary 2 weeks prior and I'm literally flying back just for you guys x

I would love a video edit of Jake's first time at Disney world... With Caldwell knowing everything and Murph being the bro influence Jake needs to feel comfortable 😂

Oh no, they spoiled mister toads wild ride for me!

Caldwell mentioning a tulpa sent a shiver down my spine

The Kurgen, Macho Man lite voice is AMAZING!

If you ride Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, even once, you do go to Hell.

If they don't want to track wealth for healing potions, another option is for mothership to issue some for each mission. It could lead to some funny/ interesting moments of the military supply quota being out of touch and under estimating the teams needs and the team trying to negotiate for more.

caldwell, i just want you to know that when you said rockadoodle i took a blast to the past, i had that movie dubbed in spanish and i was OBSESSED

OH, MR. TOAD

One of the best short rests yet, can't wait for the season. Gotta love Mr.Toad.

Man, Mr Toad is grimdark!

Launch Pad Academy makes me think of Launchpad McQuack from DuckTales & Darkwing Duck. It'd be hilarious if the dean of the academy was an anthropomorphic duck with pilot attire that is somehow related to Calliope's duck! Haha!!

If you find some Creosote from the southwest American desert (I'm from Sonoran), express it in your hands, hang a wreath of it over your shower head. It produced the beautiful smell of desert rain. 30/10 do recommend.

Would love you guys to start filming short rests in the two-deo ❤️

They got lost in the frog tank this time 😂

Can’t explain how excited I was as I got into bed and remembered this was going to be my nightly cool down podcast

Team name for water themed players with a duck companion? How about the AQUADUCKS (aqueduct wordplay)?

Listening to Emily talk about how things from her characters manifest in her real life makes me wonder what things from Dimension 20 have shown up in her life. Or Rotating Heroes. Or Outlaws and Obelisks. Etc etc.

I have a feeling that caldwell is responsible for this

Did anyone else get strong monsters Inc vibes from the beginning?

I firmly believe that the new team should be called Mighty Ducks 3

OH MR TOAD LET'S GOOOO

I know you guys only dabbled in Anime/Manga a little bit but Callie reminds me so much of Juvia Lockser from Fairy Tail, a rain woman whose power increases when she's emotional and I freakin love it

Caldwell’s character reminds me of a Battle Toad.

Names suggestion for the new squad…. THE QUACK PACK

Don't look at Mr. Toads old tweets

You can definitely do five cats. As an owner of five cats. I believe in the power of the cats.

Now I desperately want a "Serial" parody episode where the mystery is Mr Toad's birthday.

Can’t wait for them to uncover Mr Toads birthday. He shares it with my sister

Can we ever see pics of the 2dio?

I'm putting my bets for mr toads birthday on June 3rd. That feels like a frog birthday

The roast of Mr. Toad being not as good as Winnie the Pooh is because the ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh found in Critter Country in Disneyland is actually found in Fantasyland in Disney World where Mr. Toads Wild Ride USED to be. Hidden Cameo on the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh you can see Mr. Toad handing the deed to the land to Owl

ok, are these the canon name spellings (which can be edited/updated as needed!): saul bufo (caldwell) calliope petrichor (emily) calder kilday (jake)

I found a clip from the show on YouTube that says Mr. Toads birthday. I'm scared to share it here though... Don't want to spoil it.

TIL Mr. Toad and I share a birthday and I'm not sure how I feel about that

Big Doctor Who reference?

i think callie’s birthday is july 15 bc she’s a cancer

Anyone else concerned about there being a Symbol spell in those potions? 😨

I’m at Disneyland now. I’ll stop by his house.

I really hope Turbo Tuna is discovered as an artifact in this campaign

Can’t wait to see the Band of Blue in action!

Caldwell, you got A. A. Milne's claim to fame right, but not his gender.

You know your in for goofs when the podcast art isn't the normal short rest art

This group needs a Balnor but for potions.

LMAO y'all said my last name and I jumped! Thanks for all the kind words about Steiner ❤️

The Mr. Toad from The Wind In The Willows was born [redacted], as seen in ‘[redacted]’

Here's what my Mr. Toad detective work provided. In 1990 there was a tv series with an episode about Mr. Toad's birthday, it was released late in May, meaning he is, I believe, a Gemini. I'd have to watch the episode in question to be sure however, since part of the plot is him getting obsessed with astrology. Update: should have listened to the entire episode before I started Googling.

I love how much Murph loves ‘guess the cartoon animal’s birthday’.

emily you're so right about the line for Mr toad's wild ride, it's one of the best lines at disneyland and you cannot skip all that lore! this just reminded me how insane that ride is lmao

Milt Kahl did some of Disney's best character designs. He's a legend! Those hands? Madame Medusa?? So good.

The duck is my favorite

Also want to mention that Mr Toad is a gay icon

Emily, I don’t you manifest stuff into existence, I think that you reliably put out food is the reason you get cats and possums.

Honestly whenever there's a preview image that's not the normal NADDPOD logo, you just know you're in for a WILD ride, much like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Oh, Mr. Toad!

Mr. Toad wasn't born he was hatched

Definitely the smell of Axe body spray.

Only thing I hated about the episode was that it wasn't 8 hours long haha

Whoa, when y'all said guess Mr Toads birthday my brain went straight to October 11th but then since I usually guess close but not right, I changed it to the 10th. At least I was on Jake's wavelength lol.

Hey, anyone got timestamps for Mr Toad Wild Ride spoilers, been meaning to blast that one out but covid has made it impossible. I get that reference humor is a staple of their humor but such cultural staples such as MT'sWR make it inaccessible to those of us who haven't gone froggy yet. Thanks yall

It was Fia, then Zirk and then Henry in C2 and Hardwon, Beverly, Moonshine in C1

Mr Toad goes to hell made me snort coffee at my desk, I really need to stop listening to this hilarious shit while I'm at work

The French word for "frog" is "grenouille"! 🐸 😅

No worries Jake! I (and I'm sure many others) have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

Brian Murphy: “I’m severe and I’m unpleasant.” 😂

Fun fact; The human sensitivity to petrichor, to detect the chemical geosmin, is arguably one of our best superpowers. We can detect that chemical at 400 parts per TRillion, whereas even sharks only get as low as detecting blood at one part per Million. It's assumed that was an evolutionary development to allow us to find water as easily as possible. If it's raining, there's water.

Short Rest is the pick-me-up I need today! Thanks Duck Team!

This spoiler warning makes me so excited

That spoiler warning tells me this episode will be phenomenal

Oh boy I do hope I don't encounter any spoilers for Mr toads wild ride! That would be unfortunate

I’ve been ready since I woke up, thank you

Wheee what a ride

Yes!

I’m not sure what possible spoilers there can be, but I’m excited to see how we get there 🤣

What a spoiler warning and image
