Short Rest: C3 Ep. 3: Missing Soldier

My dog has a freakout pillow. It’s a mini dinosaur pillow pet that she shakes violently and then humps equally violently. If she doesn’t get to play outside enough during the day she takes it to poundtown.

I'm listening to this EP in 2026 Jake time

"It's not normal, be careful. Okay bye." How strange as a cop to see this then say that and leave lol.

I would buy the calendar, in earnest.

Finger Mittens Mingers

Getting drinks with work buds after leaving work early "it's Jake Noon somewhere"

You say Mob Goblin, I say Bob Loblaw's Law Blog.

Commenting because I never saw the Jake time calendar. I'd still buy

deer woman is a vengeful spirit who goes after men that have harmed women/children actually — but it varies by tribe ofc, some people say she’ll hurt anyone who falls for her tricks

Oh my god, I sincerely want a calendar of Jake just lunging for the camera every month 😭

Was Emily followed by a skinwalker???

I have a duck body pillow I got from Etsy. It cost me $100 AUD, and its not that great :(

I absolutely loved the deer story, that is insane. I feel like Emily is living my dream.

If you’ve ever been to a deer park in Japan, the deer follow you around constantly. That sounds like a magical hike though!

The return of the chosen.

This fucking comedy platinum!!!

I think Emily might have actual Disney princess powers

The pull of the word zweihander killed me hahaha

Fun fact, even if the same person had spiritual weapon and hold person going at the the same time it would have been fine. Spiritual weapon isn't concentration

Hate to be that guy, but the Nintendo power glove did actual have motion control capabilities, it wasnt just a glove with a d pad. It was still a steaming pile of shit tho so idk why im defending it 😂

There’s that many comments and no one mentioned that the Power Glove had actual motion controls with some weird microwave module over a tv? Am I a old?

Please I would love to see the deer videos it sounds so Awesome

We do know that finger condoms are already a thing right? Ribs and all.

Emily, that's hiking 1000001, I've never heard of this

I literally hike as my job. This has never happened to me and I'm INSANELY jealous. From now on, any time I see a deer I shall state at it expectantly and angrily.

this short rest only confirms what we've always already known, that Em is a real-life magical being and hero to animals and humans alike.

wish emily didn't have to preemptively defend herself before ppl comment some annoying shit undermining her for no reason

It was the goddess Artemis/Diana sending a message to you. What she is saying? Who knows!

I hike a lot and I’ve never been followed by a deer and also I’m scared as shit about deer cuz they could really fuck you up so be careful, Em!

Release the deer videos!

Hi! Grew up near deer, been in deer accidents, etc. just had to say: ‘Em, you’ve been chosen to be in the deer mafia. May the noses be ever in your favor.

Gonna start calling him “Sol Rudd”. Why does he keep looking better and better with age?

Important note about the Power Glove: it had sensors you put on your TV and you could control your character by moving your hand around and bending fingers. It also sucked major ass

Hot Frog Pal Body Pillows should be a thing

Oh thank you so much Jake, from me and all software developers! We had to deal with daylight savings, time zones, and now Jake Time!

I really wanna know where Murph was going with the "We've been playing d&d a long time ..." lead-in before the deer tangent took over

Hahahaha Jake Standard Time

Behumia in the current campaign is like the equivalent of legend of Korra to avatar the last airbender. Also sometimes I get Geralt of Rivia vibes from Jake's voice for Caulder

Hey Emily,this is hiking 101, welcome to the club

My mom was a total Disney princess lol, she had wildlife creatures approach her all the time when she was growing up. So many stray cats and dogs would gravitate towards her, she had a pet deer, a pet possum, a pet skunk, several pet squirrels and raccoons and even a freakin bobcat that liked to hang out around her and liked to be pet. Just absolutely crazy.

Em, its so sweet how you absolutely tell the MOST interesting stories yet think people will probably be uninterested in them. I’m not a hunter but know hunters mask their human scent from the deer. Maybe you smell like sweet honeysuckle or jasmine to them instead of intimidating human.

What happened to The Campaign 1 game?

All in for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Duck theory that the duck changes size as necessary.

Emily, have you ever heard of hobo signs? During the Great Depression, tramps would leave secret signs for each other (carved in fence posts, etc.) The sign for “a kindhearted woman lives here” is a smiling cat. Sounds like the critters know that you’re a kindhearted woman and word has spread.

Begging for the release of the deer videos 🙏

My guess is that the deer has had previous hikers feed it and now recognizes humans as "food givers".

Looking forward to a giant duck pillow!

Deer LOVE to follow me and my chihuahua all the time and it’s so alarming

As an avid hiker/trail runner, can confirm that this deer behavior is crazy (unless you're in a national park, where it's a little more common). The only conclusion is that Emily has the "animal friend aura" feature achieved only by real-world level 12 druids 🦌

Here’s an extremely fashionable gauntlet if anyone’s in the market for one now: https://lumecluster.com/blogs/news/descendants-of-the-dragon-armor-ring

If you want to see the video game gauntlet in action check out this Good Mythical Morning episode where they try it out. https://youtu.be/Y-3J4GYP0EE

Hearing Jake get razzed gave me an idea, what about a mixed bag, roast of the OG bahumia characters, as themselves. So hardwon roasts moonshine, Bev roasts hardwon, etc etc. Chime ins from side characters via murph

If y’all call the toilet paper sending stones anything but the “shit talker” I’ll be sad

I love the Big Duck Energy

So it’s now cannon that the boy wizard is Cody Johnston to me

In case you guys haven't seen it there is a YouTube video of a guy with his invention the quick draw iPhone. https://youtu.be/5V8H9uaQFBE

Shrooms are legal in dc! Well, decriminalized

As someone who hiked over 800 miles continuously this summer- animals following you is not normal or standard 😅

Sometimes magic happens on nature walks. My camp counselor and I petted a golden eagle that was just sitting on a log off the trail. It was like "I could kill you at any time, so I don't care if you do this"

One tiny vehicle is the new one big bed

I'm an avid hunter, I'm pretty in-tune with that community, and I have basically spent my entire life in woods... I have NEVER had that happen to me, and I have NEVER heard that happening to someone else. Absolutely remarkable, and anyone that tries to diminish that is talking out their ass lmao. Amazing.

While they are not in stock right now https://lumecluster.com does make some very fashionable gauntlets.

On a hike I've had a mother and her two baby deers approach me for...though I didnt receive any nose boops. I have 6 animals if that helps the research

They should definitely make a naddpod duck body pillow!

“You activate my rose card!” is VERY good Caldwell

In my tribe, deer women are bad omen. They are shape shifting witches who eat the heart and organs from unsuspecting travelers. They are kind of like windegos. That gave me chills. That deer wanted to eat you. Edit. Pretty sure the tribes out west have similar folklore about skinwalkers. Freaking watch out man.

i think this owl bear cave episode was mislabeled

I'd buy a Jake time calender

That deer thing was definitely special but not as unique and wonderful as me!!! And don’t think otherwise

I'm ABSOLUTELY loving this season! It's quickly becoming my favorite and I think I know why: Murph has fully given into goofs this season. I mean he's putting so many goofs into his damn planning! It's a beautiful thing to behold. Expert world building, sophisticated plotlines AND goofs?! We got Murph at his best this season and it's clear he's having a lot of fun

Most underrated part of this Short Rest: Caldwell pulling out an obscure detail from an episode midway through Campaign 1, then following that up with “I can’t remember anyone’s birthday”

I saw a pattern for gloveless fingers a while ago I’m going to hunt them down and knit some for the two crew

Phalangez: Just the Tip

Also, can we get some deer videos from Emily on the feed?

This might be my favorite Short Rest ever. Truly rivals hemp milk in tears from laughter.

Just popping in to also highly recommend The Venture Bros! The writing gets better and better with each season and they love to dig up throwaway jokes from the first season and give them stakes in the final one. It's good stuff!

Cute deer story!! I saw a paw paw tonight while I was listening~ Loved seeing y'all in SF day before yesterday jake time! 💛💛💛

MURPH! The Power Glove absolutely could move things on the screen just by tilting the glove. It had a controller pad on it for those that didn't want to use the gloves VR mechanic in more difficult sections of games.

Finger felanges sound like a better name than finger Cots. Kitchen/barstaff i have worked with in the past did call them finger condoms though.

I would buy the shit out of a "Jake Time" calendar

I need this calendar

I would for sure buy a Jake time calendar.

Just wanted to say that I went to the Renaissance Faire and saw so many Bands of Boobs

My proposition for the Jake calendar: Jakenuary, Jakebruary, Jarch, Jakepril, Jay, Jane, Jakely, Jakegust, Jaketember, Jaketober, Jakevember, Jakecember

No Emily, that is not normal.

I live in Australia and I mean I've been followed by sheep, but then they're known to be followers 😂

It's possible the deer just recently had a fawn. Sometimes they chase people away from their babies. I feel like Emily probably doesnt have threatening vibes though

From now on I will be using exclusively JST( Jake standard time) for all of my affairs. Don't talk to me if you're not on Jake time

I live in a very deer heavy area, and the most likely explanation is that people *have* fed that deer (maybe people who looked like Emily) so it associates certain types of humans with food. It makes for a cool individual experience but don't feed wild animals! It's dangerous for them and for humans if they get too comfortable. My neighbors fed a baby black bear and when it was a couple years old it wound up chasing me back to my house and we had to call animal control to deal with it 😬

I want to see this video! As avid hikers we have never had this happen. We do bring our dog though

Yeah, that deer thing is actually super normal where I'm from. I do live in a faerie realm though, so maybe I'm an outlier???

Big short rest for the merch store! Fingie condoms, Suz/Caldwell's used freak-out body pillow, and a Jake lunging for camera calendar? Take all of my cash pronto

Deer might have had rabies? Sometimes it makes animals much less afraid of people. Absolutely not normal

As someone who lives in a county absolutely littered with deer, can confirm literally no deer ever walks up to anyone. Emily is just the true wizard boy and the deer is her pal

Just in time to cook dinner

The only reason a deer would follow you is to make sure you don’t get near their children. They would not approach or follow long distance though. This is incredibly not normal and very Disney princess behavior!

I do really want the comics of the Boy Wizard and his Frog pal to be made real! I have really enjoyed that running joke this Campaign.

If anyone knows which torso duck picture emily is thinking about, could you link it?

Don't worry they exist for when you cut your finger, to apply compression and prevent blood from getting in the food

The boy wizard gives me major Nigel Planter vibes from Billy and Mandy

Finger condoms are a thing, actually. They're used in restaurants.

What kind of duck are we thinking this duck is? White with an orange beak like the one in that goose game? Green and gray mallard? Brown female mallard? I gotta know.

That is the most insane deer behavior. I've gone on so many hikes in Georgia, Alabama, New York, Oregon, Washington, and New Jersey and not once have I even heard of deer doing anything but eating or running from people on a hike.

So excited to see what happens to the blue crew next week! Can’t wait for Friday: Jake Time

when i worked in food service, we always called finger cots ‘finger condoms’

Deer videos whEN !!!!

I love Jake time. Totally going in my vocab! Jake, your my fav homie

"The deer unhinged its jaw - and a rainbow came out and touched my heart!" - Emily Axford

I will say that “Jake Time” caused me to have a minor panic moment. I’m a teacher, and I took Friday off because Seattle is a 3.5 hour drive for me. I was freaking out that I needed to take two days off instead of one and had to check my tickets. Typical Jake though 🙄

Awesome some new to listen to at work

Did this episode come out late because Jake posted it?

Can't believe we had to wait all weekend and all we got was a night of fun, magic, and aioli! Thanks for the live shows 2 Crew!!

Did he always just say "short rest" and not "the short rest"

First?
