Short Rest: C3 Ep. 13: Alexandrite

Shrekollection made me lmfao

Shrek is so pivotal to my life it was made the same year I was born and I would demand it on along with sequels for years. With that said I was always under the firm belief that shrek 2 is a perfect sequel. It’s only a lil crazy to me there is people who lived their life not thinking about shrek as much as I have. The gang would love it and the sequel I think

I hope Emily watches the shrek musical as it’s a really good time

im 24 and the thought of a movie ive never seen starting at 10pm makes me feel dread lmao

You do NOT need to get 8 hours of sleep. Most adults only need 5. But some people need more or less. 8 is the average. Like example my peak is 9 hours but I can live off 8.

Coming to you from the future in 2025: AI had become a serious fucking problem to so many people’s psyche (emotional and educational intelligence).

Emily's rationale for why waking up early is great is the exact logic I use for why I stay up so late. Everyone else has gone to bed, so it's the time where I don't owe nobody nuttin. As Murph said, it's my ME time!

i nominate Murph as my sleep cycle opinion representative. when you're right, you're right

The National Security bit reminds me of whenever Paul Rudd went on Conan to talk about whatever movie he was gonna be in and they were going to play a clip from it, instead it played a clip from Mac and Me of a kid in a wheelchair falling off a cliff into a lake

I have never seen Shrek, which means that this podcast is how I learned he has a Scottish (??) accent.

Gaming before bed is not the same as reading before bed. Looking at the screen will make it harder for you to go to sleep.

Is Kong Island still around?

High school I went to then worked at didn’t start till like 8:40 am

SHERK MIXED BAG

SHERK MIXED BAG!!!!!

The streaming platform Caldwell is describing sounds like that joke one Ryan reynolds launched a while back that only played his old movie Foolproof

i personally am very pleased with the fact that alexandrite didn’t end up being an innocent little ai that was manipulated

Yeah the laptop is more inadvisable because they don’t last long. It’s just not physically possible for that much power to be in something that small without parts getting damaged from the heat within a couple of years.

Not to Ruin Everything—but the Lambda thing was something spun by a serial huckster who’s pulled a lot of publicity seeking stunts in the past, Blake Lemoine. He’s a member of a cult & was a software engineer at google, not an ethicist like he claimed. When anyone else has interacted w the program (including actual AI experts), they’ve cone away with the conclusion that it’s a standard chatbot: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/06/11/google-ai-lamda-blake-lemoine/

In my line of work I have people bothering me at 6am and my phone won't stop ringing. I am also like Murph and stay up until 1 or 2 am on a regular basis when I have to be at 5

the blockbuster story lives on in this guy i go to school with who keeps 13+ dvd copies of the movie "click" starring adam sandler in his car, despite having never seen the movie.

Y'all need to read 'Why We Sleep' by Matthew Walker.

this is TRULY a long shot but I am praying Murph sees this: https://www.ign.com/articles/nerf-new-mascot-murph

BEARDSLEY HYPE

Oh my god how did I not know Emily and Murph were in credits of The Quarry? What?! 😂

I also trained myself to want to stay up all night to be alone

I’m so excited to learn more about Sol

They totally do make movie summaries on YouTube. I’ve saved lots of time watching them instead of the movies they summarize.

The Midgar feel of this arc is so great. FF7 is my favorite in the franchise, so I have super been here for all of it.

Shrek mixed back when? Please I’m begging

As a 6 year old I'd thumb tack a blanket over the hallway to the bedrooms and watch adult swim which is where I became enthralled by Fooly Cooly

BEARDSLEY BEARDSLEY BEARDSLEY

Thank you for coming out to La, I haven’t yelled that much since my high school days playing football :,)

I remember when Juno came out and my step sisters, step mom and I went to rent movies and I was on a Michael Cera kick so I wanted to see it. They didn't like the movie and I thought it was an okay watch. Then for years after anytime we did anything to do with movies they would say something like "hey wanna see if they have your favorite movie, Juno?"

Unrelated but I hope the gang engages in the ongoing discourse surrounding "Murph the Nerf"

Im so hyped for the Ally dnd court! Its a pride month miracle!

Shrek mixed bag??

Really appreciate Murph bringing up that Cali saving the dude was important even if he still died. As Brandon Sanderson constantly states, Journey before destination. Being with his people in arms in his final moments was beautiful

COME TO HAWAII IF YOU WANT TO WEAR “HAWAIIAN” SHIRTS!?!? (It’s actually called aloha shirts, or aloha attire)

Emily adhering to Calliope’s character growth instead of doing what she really wanted to do (join the singularity) speaks to her strength as a DnD player!

There’s a great new Becky Chamber’s series about AI where the Robots leave. They wanted to see what their society would be apart from humanity. It’s called Psalm for the Wild-Built and it’s a really cool alternative to the “evil” singularity. Actually Chambers is an easy rec for any Naddpod fan!

If Emily ever does watch Shrek can it be an incredibly long Patreon episode? Like Rifftrax only with you all commenting instead.

I’m fully on board with going to bed at 9 and waking up at 5:45. 8 hours of sleep is important!

So I was born and raised in NJ and always heard rain slickers so it's surprising to me that Murph hasn't heard it

Do... Do people actually get 8 hours of sleep? I never have time for that

Hi all, unfortunately I won't be able to make the live show in LA tonight 💔 I don't want the ticket to go to waste. Does anyone want a free ticket? I only have 1

NADDPOD LA tonight!!!

i cleaned up my gunked shorts from last ep
