Short Rest: C3 Ep. 33: Mounting Crows

If anyone’s curious JonnyCakes has done a bunch of videos cooking with an easy bake (including a thanksgiving one)

Honestly…90s and early 2000s toys were the fucking coolest even if they sucked.

Jake casts Power Wheel Hill

Listening to this in 2025 right after watching Brennan play a lvl 5 wizard with 21 strength for a Critical Role one shot and it feels very appropriate.

all this Miami talk warrants a Go Bills to cleanse the energy

This is the first time I’ve heard this short rest and the only thing they’ve said about the episode so far is calling Jaina Gina. 30 minutes in. I love these freaks.

whoa Brandeis shout out 🫨

Is this just the regular episode for anyone else

Something about murph getting nasty breaks me with laughter

I’m very late but it’s absolutely insane that Emily doesn’t remember Moonshine mispronouncing Jaina’s name in C1. It was constant lol

oh my GOD this just unlocked a deep visceral memory: the taste of plain, untoasted strips of bread sprinkled with salt. mcdonald's why did you do this to children.

Anyone else notice jake speaking in caldurs tone of voice sometimes as hardwon?

With this new party name, I'm holding my breath in anticipation for a Reeva reference from Hardwon

I long for my easy bake oven. The new ones seem much safer. Honestly? Make easy bake unsafe again.

Am I crazy or was it stated in an earlier short rest that the Bronzebeards were partially inspired by the O'Doyle family/lineage from the Happy Maddison movies?

As a Miami Dolphins fan, I would say I was more Tua-ned in to this episode

When they were deep in the fry and Easy Bake discussion, did anyone mention Fry-an Murphy? Seemed like an easy grab! Love it as always, best part of my week!

It's comforting to know that Caldwell and I have eerily similar tiktok fyps (with people making food from '90s toys not the hentai(

I'd get a Happi meal.

So does hardwon no longer have his lightning javelin? They didn't mention that he went back and picked it up after throwing it. Murph said he doesn't usually track ammo like arrows and stuff but given its a chase scene it would seem weird if he still had it after throwing it and bouncing

The fact Emily who doesn’t know a lot of references but knows who Tua the starting QB of the Miami dolphins is blew my god damn mind

Appreciation thread for Emily being goddamn awesome <3

As a fellow corolla fan and owner I want to know what year model and make Murph and Emily have

I love Math and DND, so I decided to calculate the approximate equivalence of a copper piece in 5e to dollars. I took the prices from the cost of common goods table in the players handbook, namely a lb of Rice, a lb of beef, a gallon of milk, two dozen eggs, and 60 gallons of beer. I compared and averaged prices from all around America including CA, NV, and MI. I compared these prices to their DND value and found their prices per copper. The results were wildy inconsistent, but averaged to $1.62 per copper piece. So like $3.24 gets you a lb of Rice and beans each, which is food for a day easy. A 50gp potion is actually like 8100 dollars. I would be absolutely baffled if Duck Team was paid more than 1000 gp a year, given you could skate by on like 8 gold to eat poorly for a year.

:( wish the 8BBC eps were easier to watch, I think they’re only accessible on spotify now? I want to return to Pacland and get chomped

To immediately be a pedant, 1cp is $1, 1 sp is $10, and 1gp is $100. Hope this helps!

This episode and short rest, like all others, was perfect

The gang went to Kongo bongo island again

The No Intro energy makes them forget they are doing an aftershow

The Wilhelm Scream opener was terrific, Caldwell.

I think we had the spider maker thingy in the 80’s(or something like it). I’m with Caldwell and Em on the mini meals. They could lean into smaller portions being healthier for you.

☝️ @Summer Rose I'm the same, I love 8bbc and similarly have practically memorized my favorite ones at this point, still listening to them regularly - I love the sonic fandom parodies, pacmans xmas, & donkey kong ones, I cried laughing - WE WANT MOAR 8bbc! <3

I am personally offended by hearing yall call 8bbc "our old podcast that no one listened to". I still go back and listen to old episodes! The warcraft ones I practically have memorized at this point (as a WoW player of 17 years, they make me so happy)

Tastes like nothing

The best 90s dangerous toy was metal molder! It was a litteral mini forge!

McDonald's is leaving money on the table by not allowing me to just quietly get, like, *a* McChicken. I don't want to have to *tell* someone all I want is a single McChicken. I would use a McDonalds vending machine in quiet shame, I guess I'm saying?

I’m pretty sure in the McDonalds convo Emily briefly proposed McDonalds selling mother’s milk for babies but it didn’t get the spotlight it deserves.

As someone who graduated from Pepperdine a couple years ago…. I wish a fucking Toyota would’ve been our valedictorian

My 20 year old car was just killed this week by a distracted drive. He was getting his doctorates 😭

Emily/Moonshine definitely called Jaina Gyna 😂

As a dolphins fan, I finally feel recognized

Can't believe Murph would come out so hard against the Croc stans 😂

I totally remember the McDonald's food maker set thing. I think the directions said to put cinnamon and sugar on the bread, to at least make it taste like something other than plain white bread.

This is such mixed bag energy

Next 2 rolled gotta pull out “Shoutout to the Tua Crew”

You all owe me a new shirt I spilt coffee on myself laughing SO hard at the McDonald’s bit

whatever cold brew fueled this mcnightmare I'd love to have on tap for my low energy days

My god, I literally wept with tears listening to the McDonalds bit

Bordering on billion grills

*urchin voice* Daddy Murphy, why won’t you let them have Microsoft Surfaces, Crocs, Ruby Tuesdays, and BMX bikes?

Caldwell: I’m also playing subway surfers for some reason Me playing subway surfer: 👁️👁️

Gina was said from Moonshine cause she didnt know how to pronohnce Jaina right like Petri

Jake's "I thought you were a master?" When Murph said his world didn't have iPads and BMX bikes absolutely killed me

If I did my math right, a 10,000 gp salary would mean the blue crew made a cool $4.9 million/year at mothership yall

FYI in naddpod Jaina was absolutely pronounced Gina and there was no explanation but it was also hilarious

listen as a football liker i for one greatly enjoy the weird nfl-based tangents

Instant classic

U know those pugilists are gonna be some sort of Saul 3.0

The night when yall slept and played the bagpipes was very cute and I liked it a loy

First let's go

Okay cool, I was afraid my Patreon was messing up since I couldn't find this all day xD

This was truly a beautiful thing.
