Chainsaw McGraw is the bastard son of the former king in disguise. At least on my head lore
"our parents have lived longer lives and have therefore had more chances to fuck up and accumulate fuck ups" man this hit the first time and it still hits now. especially as black and white morality is more and more prevelant in our culture both online and offline, it feels especially valuable to have understanding and sympathy expressed for people and characters alike :')
Potentially one of my favorite ‘sodes of all time. Moonshine’s message, the naming of the serpents, the conversation with Kenna about giving your parents a chance… plus the fucking insane trench coat antics. Truly peak naddpod
It’s funny that Murph is always surprised by his three Ernies because how did he not expect Emily and her two Yes Men to immediately zero in on Chainsaw McGraw when he was first introduced last episode 😂
The whiplash I felt between the hilarious moment of Callie trying to flirt with Chainsaw McGraw and the heartbreaking moment of Moonshine’s message and Hardwon’s reaction… 😭
HONKAI STAR RAIL MENTIONED......... i feel so seen
Ow, it hurts even more the second time
Anyone else imagining Chainsaw McGraw as the RE4 chainsaw guy or just me?
110%
Solo Bufo is Proto-Boggy!
Casually putting my shattered heart back together after *that*message
Are Jolly Jousters the precursors to Boggy’s Buds????
Anyone picturing Chainsaw McGraw as the in-game character who was killing every player on the WoW episode of South Park?
when the bronze serpent got its name, i did the pleading emoji face
Thought Boggy Roger had entered the recording
emily axford the woman that you are 🥹❤️😭
Did not expect to cry at Moonshine’s messages and how Hardwon felt 😭 The way the same players can be interacting every episode, but as different characters that rip my heart out in completely different ways is wild. So so good
Super funny, laughed a lot! I love Hardwon. Chainsaw McGraw was awesome!
literally almost cried (at work, no less) listening to Moonshine's transmitter message and Hardwon's response. Their distress felt so real!
this was so so cool, especially emilys voice
My father, who is the reason I got into nerdy things such as dnd, passed the day after this came out. I listened to this and ngl, when Callie mentioned how she wouldnt give to have one more hug, I feel that deep in my soul. Thank yall for being amazing. Keep being awesome.
Another hug from 2026!
When Caldwell won the Golden Mic for his intro. *Chef's kiss*
Emily is forever and always my DnD inspiration. Her call had me crying on my walk home 💗
Anyone else picture Chainsaw McGraw as Rokurouta from Hell’s Paradise the whole episode? 🙋♂️
i started crying at moonshines message 😭
I get sooooo amped every time I see Callie use any Oath of Redemption abilities! This show is the reason I started playing D&D years ago and it's cool to see the stuff I love about my PC being used by Emily. Rebuke the violent ftw!
Critical roll ass episode taking 50 minutes to take a long rest and a hundred 1 on 1 conversations
I don't understand this comment, is listening to other people do combat the fun part for you? Because I think most people think the RP is the interesting part.
the scream i scrumpt
Thanks for the Neverafter “evespeeping” reference
where is emily axford’s oscar
I literally ran across the room and brandished an earphone at my mate who got me into the pod but is currently behind when That Thing We All Know What I'm Talking About happened and forced him to listen to it
WOWWWW what a thick ‘sode. I got so emotional when Murph threw to Emily to play Moonshine.
i literally teared up and dropped what i was doing when moonshine started talking and then hardwon responding to her. top 10 naddpod moments right there!!! so good
God Damn, Emily.
Battle Royal for a short rest!!! Dude
I definitely was not expecting a Honkai star rail reference...
A+ to Caldwell's intro!
This episode is so dangerous I teared up while listening as I drove and had to pull over when the moonshine message came on
What is Balnor doing there? 41:14
Why has Caldwell not played a bard yet!? He reminds me so much of sam reigle
holy shit, i teared up so fast hearing that moonshine call
The nicknames are just so beautiful and wholesome 🥹
Literally goodbumps during that interdimentional distress call
Anyone else picture Bonesaw Mcgraw from Sam Raimi Spidey when Murph said Chainsaw McGraw? Just me? Okay….
Moonshine’s call sent SHIVERS
Wow hearing moonshine again was something else, cannot wait to have the two crew and duck team work together hexbuds style
IDK how Emily can go from jolly ole Calliope to Moonshine, scared, desperate, on the verge or tears, and then right back again. That was some amazing voice acting. she is the in flowww!
I for real thought Jake was about to lose another character
the Honkai Star Rail pull was iconic and did not get the laughs it deserved on the ep
moonshine call fucked me UP bravo
I love Murph’s familiar noises
Big Moonshine fan but the big moment for me was Caldwell saying “Honkai Star Rail” which made me almost crash my moms car
i got goosebumps and teary eyed ahhh SO GOOD!!
Anyone else cry while smiling or just me? 😢😊
The arena changing with floating platforms and changing weather is some fucking RWBY shit and im so here for it
Dang. Just dang.
Standing ovation for Solo Bufo!
Not me openly weeping hearing the og 2 crew connect! Lets gooooooo
Question for Emily - am I hearing you use a bassoon sound during the conversation between Calliope and Kena? That song was gorgeous!
This might be one of my favorite episodes to date!
Loved this episode and thanks for the honkai star rail shoutout Caldwell!
I wish there was a way to convey how much I love this show and its creators. Murph, you’re incredible.
Shout out to Murph creating an elimination chamber match in DnD. 11/10
Y'all gotta put a tears warning on these episodes. Just casually crying at my desk on a rainy Friday morning.
Emily just doesn't miss
Ayyy can’t wait to listen to this while I slave away at my 9-5
He was the original jolly josters y’all are thief’s
Such a good episode ahh!! 😌
JUSTICE FOR MOUSER
Please sell chainsaw McGraw bag hat as merch
I was so invested in this episode I didn't realize I was speeding and hit someone on my drive to work this morning and kept going
Thank you for the episode, now rest my sweet prince 🤴
I work from home and my neighbours house alarm has been going for 19 hours... very glad to drown it out with this lol
Maybe call 911? What if they dead lol
💛💛💛
Always grateful when I'm awake for these uploads!
Murph you're a freakin champion with the edits just as much as the DMing – much respect & admiration 🧡
So excited!
Yay!!!
