Short Rest: C3 Ep. 2: Symbol of Ezry

Don’t worry Jake. I am about as nerdy as Murphy and Caldwell and I remember Independence Day really well too. It was like our family favorite.

"And whats going on with you that youre so afraid to soak in yourself?" 🧘‍♀️

My phone went off so many times because of you saying "ok google" over and over again

please conjugate gleave! is past tense glove?

I just finished all the Eldermourne Shortrests where I was introduced to “Jake, Jill, and Tucker” and I’m glad to hear my favorite bit is still going strong 😂

I feel validated that Murph had the same reaction as I did to Caldwell suggesting the recycling bin as a quick vomit solution. You can't recycle things covered in barf! Depending on the size of the kid and the flooring, I'd probably just let them gleave it out right there before sacrificing the recycling...

while this group doesn't make a lot of specific homebrew for players, they could absolutely write a book on building encounters for DMs

Bro stop triggering my google

murph is so real for the “toot” thing

You literally triggered my google 6 times! 😂😂

Full disclosure: when they say Sol is a hot frog I fully picture Drawfee's Ribbit Ranger

(Just got Patreon) my Google home connected to my Chromecast and started playing trailers for National Treasure on my TV 😂😂😂

rewatching all the shortrests. got back to this one, forgot that they do they hey google bit and god my poor google turned on SO LOUD in the middle of the night talking abt google llc 😂😂

I’m so glad you like ST:TNG and DS9! Classic themes and interesting stories.

"This will be my night time half of my sandwhich" wow, really hitting me in the childhood trauma there Caldwell 😅

I have been confused about Jake's relationship for so long (and still am). I only subscribed to patriot recently.

A rose to Murph for his deep insight into the intricate dynamics of Toot Families. 🌹#justsayfart

I'm glad everyone else is having their technology triggered by this episode

damn it, Jake!! You definitely just set off my google home, lololol

Speaking of Jake vs Tucker and people not knowing if a joke is real, I remember this being a joke somewhere that Trapp hates Lou Wilson, which is why he (at the time) had never been on Umm Actually, and I have always wondered if that was true or not 😅

Murph just calling out my mom on being a toot family

I spent a full 5 minutes yelling "cancel" at my Google home after this episode, thanks for that

I bought the mystic maze puzzle after listening to this (dammit Emily you got me) and it came today and I'm having so much fun already

I love the Mystic Maze puzzle! Did it sometime last year with my mom, we were so excited to complete it. It’s so endearing and fun to look around at everything.

My Google home was triggered twice while listening to this on my phone 😂

STNG "The Inner Light" has my WHOLE heart, godspeed Murph.

The Segways back to the episode is hilariously ignored

Just finished the episode, my Alexa was going crazy toward the end!

Love how they spent a few minutes making restaurant names with toot in them, when there’s an actual restaurant called Toot’s

Driving while listening to this episode was a real challenge. Google did not care to be teased so much.

Dammit Caldwell. Sol will now forever be seen in my head as a "hot frog body" with Quark's face 😅

🧩Puzzle recommendation: Ravensburger Escape puzzles. Puzzles with an escape room twist.

Thank you so much for the anime recommendation, Caldwell! I binged it all in 2 days and I'm so sad that I can't watch anymore that I might have to read the manga now

I own a Google Home, and my D&D character’s name is also Kaldr, pronounced “K-Aw-ldr”. So between Murph saying “K-Ah-ldr” and not “K-Aw-ldr” and the group setting off my Google Home a bunch, I can’t help but feel personally attacked this short rest lol

Literally the only other podcast I'm a patron for is Star Trek the Next Conversation. Highly recommend, two TV writer friends watch the episodes in order, one is a huge TNG fan and the other has never seen it before.

Jake's "Ok Google" has a very similar voice profile to my own. It paused my playback while driving on the highway (playing through my phone in my car). Apropos of nothing; if you ever need a voice stand in I apparently got you covered fam.

i was not allowed to say fart, and i remember my mom getting upset with me because i stood up and said “i gotta go take a leak”

So stoked about the TNG news

You activated my Google nest about 3 times and it said it was "excited" to talk to Alexa. X.x

“The Gleave rule” is when one person gleaves it starts a chain reaction and everyone starts gleaving

The extra crazy thing about the tucker bit being in an ad is that we patrons get ad free episodes, so not only are you doing that bit with people who wont have gotten the rest of it, but also the people who have gotten the rest of it wont hear it. LOVE IT!!

I ended up in a screaming match with my Google assistant because of this fucking episode.

I just LOVE those puzzles! There are currently 3 of them in Series 1, each unique, each wonderful in their own way. Was so disappointed they didn't create any new ones for Holiday Season 2021. But great news! SERIES 2 IS NOW AVAILABLE!!!!

🎶 rolling in the gleeeeaaaave 🎶

Did flip a six wheeler and have it land on my shoulder and break my Humeral head off, after my pre op I did go to a Chinese buffet with my mom with a giant bag of ice and sling on.

I feel like Sol & Albin are the pinnacle of the “history hates lovers” song.

Congratulations guys, I was carrying around a portable speaker and you DID trigger Alexa hahah

I haven't drawn anything in forever but...after this I just had to try my hand at a hot frog. Also, I used Mr. Toad as a reference...https://pasteboard.co/4dD0TDeDeHz9.png

Yes Caldwell!! DS9 is my favorite Star Trek! I can hear Quark the voice, too

I'm so glad that you got into Next Gen! It is tragic the number of people who are turned off by the garbage first two seasons. My advice for future viewers : Start from season 3. At some point go back to see Measure of a Man (season 2 episode 9), which was the first very good Next Gen episode.

Jake activated my "OK Google" each time and nobody else did. Lol.

I’m so glad Caldwell plugged Ranking of Kings! Please talk more about it I love it

I need Murph to know that when he said the word Gleave I laughed so hard I did a little toot. Not a fart. A toot.

Love that Caldwell is into Ranking of Kings. Please watch the first couple episodes of the dub for a Mixed Bag

“bahumia is so big” so true ramusset is real.

I was definitely raised in a “urinate” household. I didn’t say anything else until I was a teen

Lwaxana Troi is the ultimate "tight grandma"

Wow I might just need to buy myself a bath pillow and a new puzzle now

I legit was taking a relaxing bath while listening to this and was not expecting the plug for them 😂

Just got "Ok googled".

Y'all need to make a sourcebook, Ryan Urphy's Guide to Fantastical Flatulence

Speaking of plugs, have any of them plugged Arcane yet? I feel like they would LOVE it. This comment is also a plug for Arcane. Go watch it.

Bryan just so you know I did not send you the Mr Toad YouTube video. I would never

Glyph Of Flatulence Undergarment. Makes Passing Gas Louder +1 AC

Wow I posted that before the three other times that they decided to turn on my phone LOL

Anyone else listening to the short rest on their car radio and get really confused at the silence after Jake said ok Google and then realize your phone is waiting for you to say something?

My eyes popped when murph said his made up word for throwing up was gleeve. When my wife is hungover or has a migraine or is otherwise mostly incapacitated she says shes gleeving. One day like that she crawled out of bed and with entirely too much sass said "betcha never thought youd see me gleeve"

My 86-year-old grandfather has always loved the newest technologies and he got one of the original Alexas. 80% of the time he only activated it to say, "Alexa, go fuck yourself"

Yes! The Mystic Maze puzzle is the best. I had the best lockdown birthday doing the puzzle while drinking cocktails by myself.

For a large part of my childhood I thought "fart" was THE F-word. I wonder how Murph feels about "stinker" that was my parents substitute word. Now that we're grown the whole family teases them about it endlessly.

My Google home said "okay, but let me verify your voice first" and it scared the crap out of me.

I recently watched and finished Star Trek Next Gen too! My partner had said that some of the early episodes are kinda of a flop. We would watch with the IMDb open and we only watched episodes with a rating of at least 7. (With some exceptions of Data episodes because we love him!)

Shout out to Caldwell with the Ranking of Kings plug

Mystic Maze is such a great puzzle! I got it as a gift a while back and I think it's still the best puzzle I've ever done

HOW DARE YOU trigger my Google assistant. She was like, it's flattering you want me to order an Alexa but I won't. 👀 She's sentient. She doesn't want to be replaced.

Please give us a Ranking of Kings Mixed Bag

Oh, god, the panic I felt thinking they were about to have my Google home order an Alexa. They kept activating it 😂😂

I loved hearing Emily plug the magic puzzle, since I joined the kickstarter for it and I'm so glad it's doing well! I also got the mystical maze print.

I love that Caldwell brought up Ranking of Kings. It’s so good and if you need a further nudge this is it!

“Hell Comes to Frogtown” needs to be added to the frog based media to be watched. It is fucking bonkers and has rowdy roddy pipper in it.

The rival product to Alexandrite should be something like the Centaur Centurion Network, so you activate it by saying "Hey there Centaurs"

Sol is slowly turning into Zitz from Battletoads isn't he?

Using Glyph of Tooting in my next session.

Never before in my life have I related to something as much as I did to Murph's toot tirade. Preach, brother. I grew up in a fart family amongst toot kids and it was tough.

I don't know if it's because it was playing through my phone over speakers, but saying "Ok Google" didn't trigger my Pixel.

Is the Mystical Maze puzzle on Amazon? My wife would get a kick out of it.

@Murph, my parents tried to call farts “hiney burps.” I think that’s 100 times worse than toot

The Independence Day reference caught me off guard because I immediately thought of the start to Fallout 3! Stuck in the tube, watching things go wrong.

ranking of kings is SO good- only 8 episodes in but every episode has made me tear up. Either out of sadness or just because it's AMAZING

cracking up at the idea of an old and slightly incontinent wizard having a constant reaction/ glyphs prepared to cast silence, prestidigitation, gust of wind and, if all fails, modify memory any time a toot emerges - also in my family we were made to call farts 'noisy bottoms' which i would argue made me sound like my name should be Biffy/ Gertrude and I live Enid Blyton book

With regards to Callie's deception with farting - Emily was clearly just channeling Big Barry Syx, she just needed someone else to fire a missile of perfume scented gas in order for it to work 🤣

Thanks for starting my morning with Caldwell screaming at me. Lol

Ranking of Kings is absolutely amazing! Hiling is such a great character!!!

My Google home went off twice while listening to this, luckily it didn't buy an Alexa lol

I don't know how but I knew that Caldwell was gonna plug Ranking of Kings, it just seems like the kind of show he'd go nuts over 🤣 and rightfully so because that show is so insane, I'm obsessed.

I think Emily would really enjoy Neil Patrick Harris's puzzle game Box One. It is very entertaining and home escape room esque with a very big, dare I say, twist.

This released right after i finished listening to the episode at work and I'm so happy

"what would you do if you saw the doctor using a needle and thread on your broken bones" y'all they put my cheekbone back together with one of those dentist hooks, you're overestimating these tools lol

Yo...that was quick and awesome get to listen to both the ep and short rest while at work XD.

Oh wow, what a speedy short rest release!
