I can’t wait to go vape! Thanks for being my Vapespiration NADPod
Late to the party, but this is hands down one of the funniest sodes this campaign. From the way Jake reacts to the helm, to Caldwell and Em taking it almost too far with the theatrics with Shiverblight, real knee slapper, guys
Shiverblight is such a fkn idiot 😂😂😂
relistened to this and shoutout to gideon the ninth! such a good book series, i wonder if emily has read all the books out in that series rn
Trent Vent, he vapes out of his ass. Lmfao
Princex is so fucking cool lmao
I love Murph’s teenage girl “OH MY GOD!”
Sol's dirge sounded 100% like Flippy from Starfox on SNES
I take that back and went into full cardiac arrest when they started describing how calder died to the princess
I'm two whiskeys and an entire joint in and this is probably my third playthrough but I almost called 911 from shear loss of oxygen to the brain from the laughter induced from them entering princess sugar blights lair
I love Caldwell making Sol look more and more like Frog
I love princess shiverblight! Murphy does her so well. Also shout out to Caldwell frog durge it was actually fire
I am cackling over Calder’s fake death 🤣🤣🤣 it’s killing me
I'm crying at work with laughter over Calders "death"
One of my favourite episodes. Crying with laughter at Emily describing Calder's death. Caldwell and Em were supreme silly in this.
The "theater kid hand squeeze" took me out and then it kept getting better. Literally had to go on break because i was crying laughing. Really losing my mind at this episode so fucking funny.
“Feeding off eachother’s vibe” to “let’s just wander off into the woods” so goood
This episode had me laughing so hard at work.
This episode is one of the the times Caldwell and Emily's wild bullshit absolutely destroyed me. I nearly burst out laughing at work when Caldwell said "there were a lot of hungry birds" to explain the lack of a Calder corpse XD
Jake you dork, the sincerity of your "Yes!" in Calder's voice as Murph went into the recap sent me.
Caldwell's song had me in tears
Sol turning the cloak into a scarf completes Caldwell’s transformation into Greninja
This is one of my favorite episodes of this arc
I cried laughing at the deception scene against princess shiverblight
This might be the best episode ever
This episode had me smiling and laughing all the way through—Calder’s slightly concerned/slightly accepting interactions with the helm and those princess Shiverblight scenes especially. Shout out to chaotic theatre kids everywhere.
The world building and frog singing were out of this world!
Lotta stormlight archive parallels when it comes to names of things: void elves/voidbringers, high prince, high king. Wonder if it’s a coincidence or if Murph’s read it 👀
“I’m 65”
Absolutely scared the shit out of me while I was driving and heard Emily say my name, I thought y’all had started speaking directly to me lolol
Ok chainswords I could pass off as coincidence. But chainswords AND boltguns?? My man 😎
Oh no, not Sir Calder! Thank god nothing happened to Kalder
Finally got a chance to listen and was not prepared for the Shiverblight bit. And the dirge - *chef's kiss*
"It's called being U-Knight-ed" Best joke of the campaign 🤣🤣
yeeeesssss to the gideon the ninth plugs- i'm currently playing my own take on gideon in a campaign!!!
Ok we’re gonna need to start a Gideon thread in the subreddit. I NEED to hear more on your Gideon Nav-based character.
Emily: I break the umbrella over my knee Me: OUT COMES LUP, PHANTASMAL AND RESPLENDENT
At least one of Emily's characters must have dated the Grim Reaper
The part with the princess silverblight killed me! I burst out laughing at the train. Love you guys
listening to this while hanging out in the woods behind me apartment vaping my own herbs…its what duck team would want [am adult disclaimer, crit on your hw kids]
It’s funny i bought gideon like two or three years ago. Still haven’t read it. I guess I have to now that I know it’s good
So happy to hear some of the hot boy summer music in this ep (I think?)
Okay ngl I was really high when y’all read my shoutout and ur boy got emotional lmao, so glad you like the Fanny quack !! (Also no joke I would love to work with you murph on a project in September if ur serious! So stoked to see y’all live 💛 )
Toronto to Montréal's train is like 6 hours long lmao, but it is worth it to get actually good poutine! Toronto doesn't know how to do poutine right
wow truly tears of laughter streaming down my face at the shiverblight deception check
I sent the trophy to Emily, I'm insanely happy she liked it. The whataburger gift cards are incentive to come do more live shows in Texas.
Genuinely felt bad for everyone trolling Calder this ep
That was me with the crochet Foster!!! So happy that the AxMurph cats can enjoy it 🥰🥰
I would not recommend listening to this at the gym 😅😅😅
Omg I'm so glad you gave Gideon the Ninth a shout-out!!! It's such an incredible book
Did anyone else look up Jake’s song? Honestly it felt like it should’ve been in a random musical about a goth kid who never really fit in or something.
I wish a dragon horde would have a coin collection from all the different mints from all the different cities or nations they have gotten treasure from. I realize a horde is literally a giant coin collection, but the idea of a book with all these different types of coins taped inside with meticulous notes about them is funny to me. I think it would also be funny if every dragon took electrum offerings as a massive insult, like the reaction you would get if you paid your mortgage with pennies that you dipped in a septic tank.
Is Saul a Quiggle?!
Omigod the name of this already has me nervous. 😬😬😬😬
No joke Caldwell, I WILL buy you 200 bagels if you come to Montreal! The poutine tub will be harder..
God yes I'm so glad that Emily is getting into the Locked Tomb. Love that series!
“One flesh, one end…bitch.” <3
Haven’t listened yet but the name of this ep paired with the length got me SWEATIN
I can't get over the fact that Calder's fake name is just his real name with the first letters swapped, and thus sounds exactly the same.
Fucking lost it at 1:29:35 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so many shenanigans and I love every second of it
murph i want to kiss you thank you 2 crew for the episode
My favorite episode of this campaign! I went through a very low point and the boobs got me through it, thank you so much and looking forward to the rest of this journey. P.S. Jake is pretty rad.
Ooh if y'all are gonna be in nyc... any chances of some drawfee interactions?
Hell yeah Gideon the Ninth is a banger of a novel
Caldwell really channeling his inner KK Slider for that funeral dirge lol
Just want to say this song Jake ghost wrote rips. That’s all.
Dude this a thiq 'sode I'm loving it
serious question, will sol be getting some vent this season?
the gag of them coming up with pseudonyms and then exclusively referring to each other as the pseudonym is so funny. This is the second time its happened
I’m loving the Dragon Elf arc so far. The family dynamics of Murph’s dragons are hilarious to listen to. Also, will definitely be checking out Gideon the Ninth. Thanks for the book recommendation 🙌🏼
Shout out to Gideon the Ninth, the 3rd book is coming out this fall!!!!
For real???? Is there a date?? Emily’s right…the audiobook narrator is the ABSOLUTE bomb. My friend - who refers to the Gideon + Harrow series as “lesbian necromancers in space” - has the original black-edged copy of Gideon. I have jealousy.
Murph naming the giant of the helmet "Ultrus" definitely doesn't set off FF6/7 or Ultron flavored alarm bells. Absolutely a reliable ally who will in no way betray them or exact a price for its aid.
Elzor’s mother had him when she was 750 years old? Good for her.
With how many Emily crits there are this ep murph got lucky as heck she didn’t crit for healthy vape
Yo, the lyrics to One True Stunner - by Fate on Shuffle got me in my freaking feelings! Solid track with some beautiful letras. Real nostalgic mood. The sode was also indeed thicc. Won't lie that I did misstep for a second when I heard void elves, forgetting that the allies were deep elves
So many World of Warcraft references. Murph said Durotar and my brain said THRALL SON OF DUROTAN. Void elves, iron deep… Murph you been playing wow?
Then the helm which is like the helm of domination
Such a thicc sode. I had a feeling that the iron deep raiders were based of Astartes with the armor and chainsaw swords but it was cemented when Murph said “bolter”. Now all I can think about is the nuances of chainsword duels and how changing the direction of the rotation was key.
I had a similar series of thoughts. Definitely some 40k vibes.
A thicc sode 😬
Caldwell with the sneaky and underapreciated hat on a hat joke in the middle there. He can't keep getting away with this.
Caldwell's frog fact at the beginning made me realize that the "Bufo" in Sol Bufo is the genus of toads
Sixth! 2 plus hours!!! So thick!!
Emily supports vaping on naddpod and flirting with adult men when in high school from fantasy high. Soon we will get the fill dark side of axford
Just in time for my drive to work
Don’t scare me with that title! Now I worry Calder dies until the episode is over 🫣
This isnt anything to do with the episode but Quack Pack is another good name for Duck Team.
The only good thing about working third shift is being able to hear the episode as soon as it drops!♥️ Can't wait!
