Short Rest: C3 Ep. 32: The Ones We Couldn't Save

Murph predicted the resurgence of y2k fashion woaw

The Murderbot Diaries is my second favorite book series right after The Wayfarers series (also a science fiction series)!

This is so late but I’m listening to this short rest for my second relisten of C3 and I don’t remember if Murph ever definitively stated why they couldn’t bring back Ol’ Cobb after his hinting about it in this short rest??? Anyone with a better memory able to point me to this or is it just a loose thread in the wind?

There's a whole episode of Parks and Rec where a character learns to say "That sucks" instead of offering solutions to his SO's problems. It really is about the best response (at least for an initial response) - it validates the person's feelings!

.

My mother died and my sister (also Emily!) was diagnosed with late stage brain cancer this year. Needless to say, it’s been a very bad year for me and my family, and Emily’s point about just sincerely saying “I’m sorry” to someone experiencing something awful really rang true. I’ve spoken to my therapist many times about how badly some people in my life have reacted to it, and how what I’ve always appreciated the most is just someone sincerely telling me they’re sorry I’m going through this. It means so much and it’s such a little thing to say.

Could assonance be the word you’re looking for? It’s when the middle sounds of words rhyme.

I'm now on the Murderbot Diaries train.

It’s currently April 21st 2023. I started my Naddpod journey in September 2022 and I am finally caught up. All eps, and campaigns, and all the extra bits. I feel so empty having to wait now lol

Anyone else mad at how Jake pronounced biopic?

Please please please do an 8BBC episode on the new Mario movie!!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

PLEASE tell me Demigods being trapped into a true death is a segue into Eldermourne. #themurphverse

Callie is the best ally the creator ever had

emily, you're absolutely right, a genuine heartfelt "i'm so sorry"/"that really sucks" is like, the best most supportive thing to hear when you're going through it 🥲

Now that they talked about the Astral Plane mess being important to this campaign, once Jake goes on paternity leave, Murph needs to run a Level 20 Arc featuring Moonshine, Bev, and level 20 Mavris and/or level 20 Apple Scrumper.

Surprised they didn't connect that the automatons voice is basically just Murph-Bot hahaha

Callie's "emotionless/cold" voice just sounds bedroom sexy whisper to me? Am i rotten inside?

A little side note, there is in fact a TMNT villain that is basically the Turtle Catcher! The Earth Protection Force, or EPF, is an MIB-esque organization wants to capture the turtles for being (what they believe to be) aliens! They are lead by John Bishop, who would by all accounts be the 'turtle catcher' in the scenario. Sincerely, a turt fan

Holy shit I fucking love murderbot too! Gonna comment and maybe rec a long way to a small angry planet. Great books.

Staggered that caldwell didn't know that stuart little isnt a mouse at all, but in fact a human child who was born tiny and mouselike.

Is the ninja turtle STD called Cowafunga?

What does it say about Murph that when he pictures Fozzie Bear, he pictures the one from Muppet Babies because adult Fozzie doesn’t have a propellor hat.

I hope Murph does some spelljammers ship stuff when they get to the astral plane.

I have a grievance(not serious )with you murph, you robbed us of an on screen death of old Cobb. You specifically said at the very episode 26 that you would NEVER give old Cobb an off screen death(just heard it on the nth re listening to the band of boobs) That being said. Loved it. I aspire to be a dm like you and Emily

The mousers in tmnt were originally made for pest control in the sewers. They might be onto something with their theories about Shredder.

Murph should check out the red rising series! It's a dope Dune-game of thrones like, space opera epic!

My dream is that we get a peak at what Moonshine and Bev are doing during Jake’s paternity leave..

This week's episode and short rest were a therapy sesh. Thanks guys. The poetic/literary divice where the vowels in stressed syllables are the same, but the endings of the words are different, is called assonance. Also commonly known as a slant rhyme.

Some real top tier improv in this ‘sode. Especially loved the TMNT arc bit!

Lil poetry info: Live/Nips is a slant rhyme, yes. But it's also an example of assonance, which is maybe what Murph was trying to think of? Where the vowel sounds in the middle of the words are similar, even though the consonants on either side of the vowel in both words are different.

Caldwell just making up new pronunciations of words on the spot and confusing everyone for a minute... honestly iconic

Shout out to all the DMs out there who couldn’t think of any other encounter that would be fun for sewers once they thought of a wererat and its 4 teenage Sahuagins. Also shout out to NADDPOD making copyright scare jokes after Donkey Kong AND Sonic the Hedgehog one-shots

I think they need to do Ninja Turtle one-shots or live shows now.

“Anyways… the f’n ninja turtles!” Idk why that made me laugh so hard lol

Let’s go back to yesteryear. When mr Murphy says and I paraphrase ~”I’m not gonna give ole Cobb an off screen death”~ circa 2018 maybe definitely Pre-covid probably

The Locked Tomb series is 100% the fantasy sci fi combo murph's talking abt!!!

YA’LL READ THE EXPANSE SERIES!

It's nice hearing Jill make an appearance for the first time. Now we just need to meet Tucker

We stilllllll want them dice

Talking about Stewart Little reminded me that I learned his not a mouse. He actually a really tiny mouselike human in the books.

I learned on my geek podcast that apparently TMNT was censored in the UK bc of 'fear of eastern martial arts' to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles 🤣

In TMNT 2: secret of the ooze shedder does basically kill himself with the dock. Because of backlash by parents groups to the first movie being violent, the turtles NEVER USE their weapons in the second movie and most fight scenes are very cartoon like

That ratatouille bit reminded me of the Real Estate Agent episode of Jake and Amir... Ben: You've never seen a rat be a chef before? Jake: That was in a cartoon. Ben: Yes, but a dog animated it!

Geez, the idea of Sol Team 6 kind of makes me wish that Hardwon and Callie got caught.

Emily did use the leech for the winter solstice! It was just a rabbit in that episode!

I dunno who HASN’T played Elden Ring but that Automaton reaaally had some Abductor Virgin vibes! Especially after hearing Murph go into detail about it!

Murph: if you want a good fantasy/SciFi mix I'd suggest checking out Gideon the Ninth. Really great series, basically necromancers in space.

LOL. Instant roses, fresh out of the microwave. The best.

Moonshine x Jaw Jaw confirmed?

Gnolled Cobb!

Hyenas are actually Cats

Such a fun episode, I’m always excited for the insight in the short rest

Fun Fact: In the book, Stuart little is just a human who was born really small and with mouse-like features.

Ohh I'm so early this is cool

Cut to me listening to Hardone’s new back story in the car and then just screaming for a solid mile.
