Short Rest: C3 Ep. 7: Ma Goblin's Mob Goblin

The Bahamian version of hat on a hat, is horse on a horse

Me and two of my buddies used to drive hours to colleges with big football teams like Penn State without knowing anyone and walk around the tailgate "looking for big Mikes friends" and party with random people.

As a fellow former upstater, I’m literally always saying I gotta drag people to Howe Caverns

Predicting now that they’ll say Paw-Paw-San eventually after this Papasan conversation

Does Zudrick have a guy of crows?

Cave n bus tours. That’s all I’ve got to say.

Me listening to this in my papasan in 2025 😟 but really, the double papasan from world market — highly recommend (if NADDPOD doesn’t go on to make branded ones of course)

My girlfriend got us a papasan chair and was so excited about it that I ended up absolutely loving it

get it hot like papasans

“I love that and think it’s true.”

Ironically I call papasan chairs mushroom chairs because they look lie a upside down mushroom

The way I said "heh Tinser's floating papasan chair..." out loud to myself 5 seconds before Caldwell did....I might listen to this podcast too much LOL

Cave and bus tours sounded like Dave and Bustsrs lmao, another billion dollar idea

I love my papasan chair…but my dog loves it more so now it’s just an elevated dog bed

Howe caverns being mentioned? The place I went to the most amount of field trips to? Amazing

Yesss Howe Caverns! So many field trips there growing up outside of Albany as well!

Okay so the secret to a good papasan chair is pillows, you have to make a nest of pillows in the papasan chair and then they are great. I have one now and I have actually spent so mu time listening to this show while cuddled into my papasan nest

I’m listening from the top of a wind turbine

Ok the Papa Johns chair - also have exclusive memories of chilling in one as a child while wearing a very wet bathing suit. Good times.

So I did the crow bit to a friend of mine. I gave him a few bottle caps from some craft sodas I had and a gold chocolate coin. He looked at me confused then deadpan said "thanks you know patrolling the Mojave makes me wish for another nuclear winter. "

Dude I already have a “guy of crows” story with me and my co workers lolll!! So I work at a flooring store and the products are always breaking in some way. If you are familiar with mosaics they’re pieces of tile, glass, or stone on a net so you can puzzle them together and make a design, those are alwayssss ripping so we’ll all pick em up and if it looks cool enough we’ll keep them in our pockets, sometimes draw faces on them and some of us will pass them to each other or hide them at the registers lol! I think it’s cute, I wish i can post a picture so you can see the little faces I draw on mine lol one time a manager buddy gave me one and was like, this is my anxiety stone, it magically absorbs bad things here you go. We always give little rocks and glass to each other and sometimes name them 💕

I spat out my coffee hearing Murph mention Arcane and that detail made this so much better ^^

I broke both of my wrists in elementary school, and played saxophone through it.

Definitely go to the ren fair if you havent been before!

I’m here to say that papasan chairs can be incredibly comfortable and durable. If not already beat up and used they will actually hold up to quite a bit. It’s important to get a larger one and have nice cushions, I prefer the high backed ones that are wide enough to curl up with a book. Also Mamasans are pretty dope, basically just the loveseat version.

Definitely loved the teacups :-)

I made my breakfast, sat down in my papasan chair, and pressed play on the episode

I had to look up the chair

Freaking Emily!!!! HZD:FW spoilers!! I’m still playing HZD.

Check out this cool Giant Scorpion Papasan Chair!!! Giant Scorpion King Chair with Yellow and Brown Colors Size: 39" x 44" x 78"H https://www.walmart.com/ip/527902946

My dog's favorite place in the whole world is on our papason chair. We have a couple blankets on it and he will get under the blankets and nest. He does it every time there is a storm, it his his safe place, if I ever need to find him that's the first place I check.

my partner is now desperately trying to convince our friend group to make hot boy summer cosplays and go to the ren fair

I am a Mine Geologist so I technically work in a very deep and large (man-made) cave.

My brother and his wife tried to sit together in my fiancee's papasan chair that she kept from college. It absolutely crumbled from trying to hold up two people

So if I work in a classroom with no windows, a leaky ceiling and cold drafts does it count as a cave?

Where do I invest in Breadpool?

Bread pool is too self raising

I used to give tours of my college housing and please. Please laugh for your tour guides (and yes at if they make jokes at their own expense especially if you are a teen).

Tempted to purchase and send them all a plague doctor masks so they can be one with the birds (plus rent fair costume! Doctors didn’t start wearing white until after Jack the Ripper or something).

..why..why birds so much guys?

Great ep

I love a papasan chair, had one sitting behind me the whole time I listened to these eps. I do have to say though, you need to get a really high quality one or like a custom cushion like Jake was talking about, otherwise you just feel the frame through the cushion

Fuck a papasan chair and it's ability to make me feel like a total fat boi.

The “series of crows” bit reminded me of early Hello From The Magic Tavern “series of bats” 😅 Anyone else listen to that podcast??

When I was 17 my mom and I were finally able to afford a place of our own and were able to move out of my grandmas house, but for a full month the only furniture we had besides our beds was one singular papasan chair that was horde got difficult to stand up out of

A million portable grills, or a billion papsans? Papazillionaire

I heard the words "Howe Caverns" and had a flashback to 2nd grade field trips Shen kid here. Yes, I know it's reputation in upstate NY

My closest friend got her papasan chair from the previous owners of the house she bought lol. I’m a giant man tho so I don’t risk sitting in it, but I think her cat, Soup, uses it more than she does.

I’ve also never sat in a papasan that wasn’t broken

Repping that upstate Howe Caverns life!!!!!!!

I am listening to this on my way home after working opening weekend at the Ren Faire. Hope to see you out there. Stop by the chainmail jewelry next to the Kilt booth.

The first Deadpool’s a really solid flick murph!

The coolest place I listen to NADDPod is in my papasan 👍

My first job was as a cavern tour guide! Let me tell you, a great summer job for those that don’t like being out in the sun all the time (most people I knew in high school worked at the massive Schlitterbahn water park(s), which had a shuttle to get between the huge areas. One area, the original park, uses water from a spring-fed river to power the rides. Extra cool in the summer! Though I did retreat underground instead. Texas people have to find ways out of the sun lmao)

I’m a new Patreon subscriber, so I’m listening to all of the old ones, and listening to the new episodes and Short Rests as they come out. I listened to this one, then “Killing Blow” from campaign 1, and Emily mentions Papasan chairs in it and i genuinely had to double check the order of episodes. Despite her dislike for them, her passion for them seems to run deep!

I love my papasan chairs! I got them at Walmart

let me tell you, the ironic detachment is pretty much all college students these days do

My family had a papasan chair when I was younger that I always thought was awesome! The cushion was super thick and the chair could comfortably hold both of my parents, my sister, and myself. This was a long time ago though so my feelings about it could be super distorted!

Loving the energy of this last episode and short rest!! Literally laughing out loud while driving🤣

I don't work in a cave but I do work in a walmart thats built on top of an abandoned gold mine. We are a small store becuase if we remodeled and got bigger we would go over the weight limit and go crashing down underground 🥰

Caldwell losing his shit to the best joke of this campaign this far has made my entire week.

I regret to inform you I will no longer be able to listen to this podcast, on account of "Lunch the Breading" having absolutely fucking deceased me. Literally tears rolling down my cheeks thank you for these A-Grade Goofs.

The Breadpool pizza sounds too much like the Super Mushroom Pizza Bread Bowl you can get at Super Mario World in Japan

Goddam, I feel like papasan chairs gaslit a younger me. So many family friends seemed to have them and there was never an appropriate or comfortable way to sit in them.

By the sheer volume that birds are brought up, it's incredible you haven't done an Aarakocra One shot yet 😂

I'm 5'2 and always sit cross-legged. Papasan chairs are ideal

Yo shoutout papasan chairs. I have had a papasan chair since I was little, and surprised myself when I bought one for my first apartment. I don’t even sit in it that much, but for whatever reason I’m quite dedicated to them. So shoutout papasan chairs.

The entire time they were making the guy of crows joke I was waiting for a naruto joke from Emily or Caldwell

My best friend from college is a crow friend. I have a piece of bark called “the friendship bark” and a leaf with eyes drawn on it that I still have in a special box for the past 6 years, probably longer.

This is the first Short Rest advice that I will follow. Be a crow and go to a cave is something absolutely doable

Three Deadpool’s and a grape lady walk into a Ren faire……

I tried to be a good guy of crows and give my housemates some shiny bottlecaps that reminded me of them...but I just got shooed away. Not sure if I'm allowed in the living room anymore, but at least they leave me a small bowl of water for me on the porch now. It's quite convenient

Moose are hard to kill. Those things are a menace!

The only way papasan chairs are comfy is it they are absolutely huge and you can fully curl up in them

I want to donate an NPC on behalf of my sister and favorite DM GRANNY: an old women who is the best potion master, and will make unique potions made from items picked up during the campaign. The trick is, she will get VERY MAD if you talk about potions in her shop, because she's obviously just making soup. She may be one of the best artificers in the material plane, but she makes SOUP goddammit. Mechanically, you make potions with customs effects based on what you give her (and for us based on things we as players like to do but our characters aren't made for). For example, one potions was made from a PC's lost leg (which took some convincing lol), that gave them hellish rebuke without expending a spell slot for a battle, which deals necrotic damage instead of fire damage, though they took levels of exhaustion when the effect ended. Obviously it can be super OP, and takes a lot of work, but seems like something yall would like! Even for a home game!

absolutely unhinged content folks, this is good stuff

LOOVE a papasan, HATE a Papa John 🙅🏽‍♀️

I inherited a papasan chair from my grandmother that had been at her home my entire childhood! The trick is to double up on cushions, give yourself more space between that wicker and your body and you'll be rewarded with the feeling of being cradled in Pelor's soft, godly hands. The wicker bowl and base totally didn't fall apart from heavy use though.. definitely not..

I did own a Papasan chair that a scavenged from an acquaintance who was getting rid of it. Emily absolutely nailed the trajectory of the Papasan owner

I need to tell you all, when I googled "papasan chair" something called a "droog design rag chair" came up for $6,200 and it's literally just a bunch of cloth bound together please look it up

I think all their cave talk is a little insensitive There was a kid in the 80s that was playing dnd in a cave and got lost The very touching Tom Hank classic “mazes and Monsters portrays this Let’s be a little more self away of these dumb kids

I was listening to this show on a bus trip through Slovenia and one of the stops was Postonja caves (which I had visited previously). Absolutely wild coincidence.

Em, not me- but my cat had a favorite papasan chair at my old apartment where she would lay in front of the window and nap every day.

Would love to see you guys for a live show in Denver, our Ren fair is awesome and over the summer!

I just moved to AZ and no offense but their RenFaire sucks in comparison to the Irwindale Ren pleasure faire please go it's amazing

I really loved the weird. It adds so much to the world for me. This episode really built a little niche of the world, so cool.

The visual of a papasan chair tea cup ride 🤣. Plus there is a great cave here in Texas close to Austin. Y’all should go.

Shout out to my North East Coast boy Brian Murphy with the shout out to Lost River Caverns in Hellertown, PA! We got a sick brewery called Lost Tavern not too far from the caverns. Little Pennsylvania town, quiet and quaint. Come by and just hang with your friends, ya know? Just hit em up and do a thing together, it's wholesome af then you can get rowdy at a brewery and stay at a Holiday Inn. The Dream. See y'all soon ❤️

My dog likes our papasan chair

In my brain Emily is Barbie and I need an in-depth explanation of all her random part time jobs

Not me listening to this in a papasan chair…

It’s short rests like this where I think to myself “we really are living in a post hemp milk world”. Much appreciated. Thicc sode and rest.

Hello Miss Oxford. You should try on mamasan chair. Those are bigger than papasan chairs. It's basically a loveseat

Not a fan of papasan chairs. I kind of just get stuck when I sit in them.

May I suggest: Pawpaw Jon's?

All these crow references but nothing referencing the best guy of crows: Caw caw

Chainscrape is the town from Forbidden West ❤️

You said “Cave and Bus Tours” and it sounded like a horrible distortion of “Dave and Busters”

I think it's good that Albin is pushing back on Calder. Calder's apologies seem pretty weak and insincere tbh. And then Team Tection was sooooo good! I really look forward to more of them!

arcane is shockingly so good, that should be a mixed bag you guys watching the first arc (the first three eps)

I'm literally listening to this in a papasan, Emily I promise there are good ones out there with steel bases and thick cushions

I think I might be listening to this on Jake time

I love all the wild bird talk on this show. Really feels like bird-lesque is a possibility

https://imgur.com/a/knXbrDE This is how our papasan chair is used, as a cat bed! All our home animals and foster cats love them.

People actually did tailgate at the first battle of the civil war! Battle of Bull Run, people showed up with full opera glasses and picnics to watch!

You guys need to talk to the Critical Role crew about Ren Faire they will hook you UP.

Shout out from Albany! Howe Caverns is a mandatory field trip growing up around here 😂

Fucking maniacs 😂😂 See you in Austin!

Just got my Moontower badge tickets for the Austin show, and I’m front row, sweeties! See you soon!

First
