Hearthside Chat Q&A: All About FOOD

This is literally the best Hearthside Chat. I laughed nonstop throughout the entire thing!

Real life healing potion is Canada dry cranberry ginger ale (but also hell yeah cheerwine)

NADDPOD: im gonna slice this dudes head off, gut him, and sleep in his dead body for warmth also NADDPOD: this might be too much for the vegetarians but... i like pork rinds this show is an enigma

Bread ovens are so dangerous! Always burnt myself on it as well. I understand, Em

Djiehehdhhdbaisi HAHAHAH TO HEAR THIS NOW, IN WASHINGTON, ROOTING FOR THE MARINERS WOWOWOW OK HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE CALLING SOON JAKE 😆😫😭

Buncha crunch. They sell them and mostly just at movie theaters. Pro move pour buncha crunch in your popcorn.

You guys are gonna get me to actually try cheer wine. They added it to the specialty soda section of the local grocery store and I was always kinda curious but never curious enough to actually try it

I love a skor bar !

I've always gone with health potions being absolutely disgusting. Medicine tastes yucky.

IT'S BUNCH-A-CRUNCH!! BUNCH-A-CRUNCH GOD DAMN IT!!

Bunch a Crunch apparently still exist and now I want some. Also they brought back 3D Doritos for awhile and they were far less superior than the ogs

Murph is THE Oscar Meyer wiener.

For me health potion gives me pepto bismol vibes. I do agree with the Ginger idea though - like a ginger beer with bitters. Or a cranberry juice cocktail or something. Sour but full of vitamins?

I visited North Carolina to go to the Cheerwine festival and see Smashmouth live in concert and got a throat abscess from a tinder hookup. This potion conversation really spoke to me

Skor is my favorite chocolate bar too, Emily.

As someone who has accidently ate mercury as a child (thermometer broke in my mouth) it's not a good taste

I felt a little called out during my work day delivering in Seattle when Seattle Mariners was said XD.

CUM MUPPETS!

Bunch a crunch was the crunch bar clusters. I think they may still have them at movie theaters.

I listened to this so high, and every 10 seconds my brain reset like a goldfish from hearing this conversation

i cannot wait to see the chicken eating contest!! XD

Also if Caldwell ever sees this, Nine Dragon Palace closed sometime between my freshman year at Wake (2016) and now :(

Caldwell is extremely on point with Cheerwine, nothing else came close to what a health potion tastes like

When y’all were talking about the healing potion, I thought to myself that it would be cherry and sweet and bubbly, and I truly felt an out of body experience when Caldwell said Cheerwine because that’s exactly what I was thinking of. 😂

Starting to think emily has a black widow sized backstory that she keeps revealing on accident. Also explains her bad memory.

We need the chicken eat off

I will give 100 dollars to see the chicken contest

Health potions have always been Red Gatorade to me.

Can we please get a livestream of Jake and Murph challenging each other to a rotisserie chicken eat off?

I really really wanna see who would win that rotisserie chicken race.

I am desperate to bring three rotisserie chickens to the Atlanta show to see this showdown.

Could you imagine how awful it would be to drink a carinated mineral water in the middle of combat? I have a hard enough time drinking it in fully relaxed on the couch.

The rerelease I need is Tastetations/Creme Savers. There's not really any candy that filled that niche. Even the Starburst Hard Candy. What happened to all the glossy round candies?

Screaming Buncha Crunch at my phone is not a good look. You can still get it at movie theaters. Dunkaroos are rereleased but too expensive and not as good as I remembered.

RP wise for healing potions I have my players decide what meal or beverage brings them the most comfort. That’s what the potion tastes like to them. But my brother is playing an alchemist and we made a list of ingredients based on historical and mythological uses of plants and things including lavender, comfrey, archangelica, woundwort, honey, and chamomile. So I imagine at least in my game healing potions taste like a floral/herbal tea with a light sweetness of honey.

Bro I gotta bring some cheerwine to the ATL show How have y’all never had it 🤯🤯

Honestly health potion gives me non-alcoholic absinthe vibes

I live in NC and was literally drinking Cheerwine when Caldwell mentioned it. Nearly did a spit-take when Murph dogged him over it.

The last time I bought Rice Krispie Treeats Cereal it was "New and Improved" and instead of marshmallow coated clusters it was just slightly sweetened Rice Krispies with miniscule marshmallows. It was the most disappointing bowl of cereal I have ever eaten and my parents fed me Grape Nuts as a child.

I am here for the rotisserie chicken competition. I will pay whatever you ask to watch that show down

I don't know why but the rotisserie chicken argument, I imagined it between A possum, a raccoon and a weasel

This must’ve been before the latest if I were you because that throat spray is heavily featured and I was waiting for Jake to say something

Clearly you've never had the oven break on a birthday, cake on the grill actually comes out surprisingly well

If they do a rotisserie chicken contest and Jake some how miraculously wins. I'll become a council of elders member for a whole year.

For Heath potion flavor I’m thinking a tarty cranberry juice. Recover health and fight that UTI.

Literally drinking a cheerwine as I'm listening, what an accurate description of a health potion

We absolutely need a 3 way cluck-off!!!

Please 🙏 we need a rotisserie chicken eating contest mixed bag. Cluckgain bowl material. I think it'll be pretty clear whose winning by halfway through

Fucking love cheerwine I can get them at Rise and Shine Biscuit shop here in Denver

Did Caldwell just spoil Yellowjackets? 😱

Time for the NADDPod to head to BevMo for Cheerwine!

It would be hilarious to see a whole chicken eating contest for a mixed bag

Emily i felt so spiritually connected to you this episode, skor bars are my favorite candy bar and the question about the food you’ll never had again immediately made me think of a sandwich from a shop that closed 15 years ago and the main thing I remember about it is that it had sprouts and i loved it

I’m from NC and I fully agree with Caldwell

I think a healing potion would taste like Elecrolit or Pedialyte. Probably warm.

for me a healing potion would taste like guaraná soda, i'm so sorry but i think it'd taste good

There is in fact a spitroasted cake from Germany (and particularly loved in Japan) called a baumkuchen and it fucking rules.

There was a brief existence of a Cherry Vanilla Coke in the early 2000s. I dream of that combo coming back

Health potion == straight aperol

I am another buncha crunch enjoyer! harder to find in general/ in movie theaters than before but I still love to have it melty n messy with popcorn

The (undeniably) correct answer to "which 90's snack to bring back" is PB Crisps.

You can get cheerwine in Atlanta.

We really need that patreon goal for rotisserie chicken eating contest lol i can't breath from laughing so much

Murph is absolutely a Macho Man Randy Savage Slim Jim

I am from NC and I love a Cheerwine but to me a healing potion is lemony

Just popped in mid-listen to say BUNCHA CRUNCH! Thank you.

Excuse you, murph? Chlorosceptic, good?????

Caldwell talking about Cheerwine and my southern brain being like wait it’s not everywhere what

Jake said my name this is probably the best day of my life

To me Cheerwine tastes kinda like a lightly carbonated, melted cherry Slushee (in the best way). BevMo and a couple other specialty drink shops in SF started carrying it and it's a goddamn blessing. If we could just get Bojangles chicken, I'd never need to go back to NC again.

I grew up in (and just moved back to!) NC- all these cheerwine references in the show and the comments are making me so happy

Is Cheerwine just a regional NC thing? I went to college in Cleveland and IIRC all the grocery stores stocked it.

We need the rotisserie chicken eating contest!!!!

This episode is solid gold.

Isn't being Ratatouilled by an octopus just what a mind flayer is?

"like the foreskin" what?

I’d pay an irresponsible amount of money to fund this rotisserie throw down

The blue m&ms are the yummiest

Cheerwine is absolutely a health potion, Caldwell is right on the money

Hearing Caldwell double lime a Corona gave my little brown heart so much joy

All this food talk reminds me of that college humor video where Emily flushes a cake down a toilet

Buncha Crunch, y'all!

Throw a cake on the grill and put jizz on ice, its Bananksgiving!

I appreciated the cheerwine reference

I sliced into my thumb moments before y'all started talking about cooking injuries 😵🙃 (I'm okay!)

For the health potion question I have another region specific drink: big red from Texas. It’s red like a health potion should be but the taste is literally sugar water with a vague fruit taste. Love it

The cheerwine reference 🙏🏻

The way Emily and I said cannoli at the same time… our minds melded.

I hate to break it to you guys but red thermometers are filled with mineral spirits or alcohol different poison, still poison

I think Tucker could beat Jake in the rotisserie contest. But Murph gets my vote for the w

I gasped when cheerwine was brought up, I miss it so much

Excuse me, boxes are absolutely a hazard. As are flat floors, the transition between floor and rug, laundry baskets, steps and cats. Doesn't matter if you're an adult or not. Hard falls happen to everyone. #hardfallawarenessmonth

If Jake wins the rotisserie race I'll up my pledge no questions asked lol

Bringing y’all cheerwine during the Savannah show.

Are there any C3 spoilers in here? I took a break to binge C1, and now I’ve only heard the first 10ish episodes of C3!

i’m disappointed that caldwell failed to mention that cheerwine is always just a little flat. a distinct quality

They did bring back 3D Doritos, but only as spicy Cheese and Ranch flavors.

There is no way murph doesn't know what a Skor is

I NEED the rotisserie race!!

Clearly a t-shirt cannon hotdog you catch at the game for murph. Perfectly not goofy but completely awesome at the same time.

Ready to tuck in!

You can (and should) grill pound cake!

How does Caldwell have a two year old already?? I swear he just went on paternity leave like a couple months ago 😅😅

health potions = cheerwine real

The sexiest baked good is definitely McDonald Japan's Adult Cream Pie. I kid you not, that is the name

Happy Thanksgiving! Please do the rotisserie eating contest for a mixed bag!

so early?!

You can get Cheerwine at court street grocers in Brooklyn 🫡🫡

Happy Thanksgiving from the 518! Time for a Bloody Mary!

This has made my shift go by so much faster! Love y'all and Happy Thanksgiving!

gonna bake some gingerbread cookies while i listen to this

Cheerwine fucks so hard Caldwell you’re so right about health potions tasting like it

Happy Thanksgiving!
