Short Rest: C3 Ep. 45: Lord Ultrus

I totally thought he was cheating lol

They appointed a rat czar and her name is spelled differently, but it’s pronounced “Kathy Karate, the Rat Czar of New York City” which sounds like a dnd character. Or a unsleeping city character

I was so excited to hear them talk about this amazing episode, but it was one of the Short Rests where they're super hyper and spend 70% of it on random tangents :,(

Super rat theory is very funny but it brings up one of my favorite evolution facts, which is that survival of the fittest rarely means survival of the strongest. Humans have escaped the food chain entirely by virtue of our capacity for collaboration. The fact that there are so many rats is because they have adapted to parasitize our infrastructure. Communal behavior is almost always a better indicator of survivability of a species than the strengths of any one individual or even group of individuals in a genetic line.

"Ratatouille Kitchen Situation" new band name, I call it!

I stand the hoagie dad

Listening to Short Rests while I work is especially unhinged because I don't really hear all of it, then suddenly something like "hotdog bracelet" comes out of nowhere 😂

Listening back i get help but get annoyed that caldwell is given the cloak of displacement and nobody bats an eye but emily gets shamed into not having the cali finale. Where did all the haters go??? Still steamed about the pricks who gave her shit for that…

RATEN ISLAND

rathatten was right there

Talking only 7/45mins about such an impactfull episode should be a crime😭

À D4 is a trigonal pyramid. A d6 is a cube. A d8 is a tetrahedron. A d10 doesn't have a shape name. A d12 is a dodecahedron. And a d20 is an icosahedron

I dont know if it was on purpose but if i'm right it was the same episode nr in Campaign 1 that Hardwon received the hammer . So poetic😊

My ROSEBUD for the next ep is for Hardwonn to talk to Kaldur. Murph has to talk to himself so much, can’t wait for Jake to do it

How is Nude Man Group not the first version they went with for Caldwell at the beginning?

Kermit porked so that Sol could Cyber

So not this episode, but episode 44, Murph you said that the members of Mothership West would likely be Alexandrites by now. Wouldn't this include Swag? Cause he was working for them for a long while, and if Hardwon takes him to the Astral plane then there's gonna be an Alexandrite up there in space.I'm excited to see if this comes into play. As always though an amazing episode and short rest and I'm so happy with how it's turning out so far. Y'all hit it out of the park every time.

"Should we talk about Ol' Cobb's last words to Hardwon? Or Ulfgar and others being confirmed dead?" ----------------------------- " WE MUST GIVE THE ISLAND OF MANHATTAN TO RATS SO THAT OUR NEW RAT MAYOR CAN COMMISSION A DICE BIKE THAT SCREAMS DRAGON PUSSY: BROUGHT TO YOU BY FORD. BAZINGA"

This was such a great episode! And I just want to say I really enjoy Emily shouting out the books she's reading. Is there a place to find all the books she's recomended?

Murph, you've gotta watch AEW. There's already a wrestler in that circuit that uses a huge bag of dice instead of thumbtacks

I see your "bike by Ford" idea and I raise you a boat manufacturing company named "Fjord" with the word fjord being in a similar font to Ford and the logo being a red rectangle with "Fjord" in white as opposed to a blue oval with "Ford" in silver

Your conversation about liquids in a hot tub tells me that you should check out the Beer Spa next time you have a show in Denver! Soak in a beer hot tub! https://oakwell.com Very important: there is NO YEAST there haha. Basically, hops, barley and other herbs are in a giant mesh bag hanging from the spout, it’s much more like being in a beer scented tea than like, a Coors Light. Do recommend!

Ultris is Campaign 3 Pendergreens confirmed

You’ve just reinvented the fat bike.

Naddpod has a phenomenon where the more emotional and thick the 'sode is, more unhinged the Short rest becomes. Not this time, perfect balance of talking about the episode and being absolute maniacs. A rose! Also, all this sweet blue hole talk, I feel like I'm obligated to say that where I live we do have a place called blue hole and it's beautiful: https://instagram.com/buracoazulcaicara

So. My dad works for Ford. I showed him the bit with the bike... He was not amused and asked if I was okay 🤣

A d20 is not a dodecahedron!

Murph going full city pigeon with his excitement for lol luxury hot dogs

I LOVED how excited Murph got about Luxury Hotdogs. 😂

It's important to seal away your baddies, that's why Henry Kissinger is famously stored in a pokeball

I do wish they had discussed Caliope's psedu declaration of love for Caulder. I better get some closure on that and soon...

Re: D4s and wrestling, I implore the crew to look up Brandon Cutler vs Peter Avalon, the D4 spot did happen and it was interesting/uncomfy to watch

The timing of listening to Murph talk about super rats as I am flying to Manratten for the live show, is perfect.

NADDPOD X Petco. Bring Pawpaw back

*PLEASE* do that mixed bag! NADDPOD X FENTY beauty

Big 🌹 four Jaina reviving Kenna right after getting out of the helm! such a touching moment

Did anyone comment about the new mosquitos in California yet? It feels like there are more smaller mosquitoes because there are! They are relatively new to the area. There's a bunch of articles including La times covering why they are here! 👎

Kenna should be this campaigns balnor please!!!

Did Murph forget the deal ultrus made with Calder

Can’t wait to be lead into the sewers at the anniversary show tonight!!

This episode is perfectly timed to help my friend and I finish up the rat ttrpg he created after our two hour discussion on the inner workings of rat polytheism and Best Rat Adjectives, thank you so much

Was there ever an explanation of how Ultrus overcame the deal he made with Calder to be able to attack Cali and Sol without suffering any psychic damage?

omg naddpod x rats is incredible, y'all should do a one-shot where Emily, Jake and Caldwell play as super-rats in post covid new york, and I think it would be a joy for Murph to DM this for sure

Please please please do a “naddpod x” mixed bag!! Think about what you could do!! Naddpod x Tampax, Naddpod x Jimmy John’s, Naddpod x Lockheed Martin

okayyy now i need the one shot of hardwon going back to moonshine and beverly please and thank you

please do Naddpod X blank, those are some of my favorite parts of the short rest. i mean i feel like it’s the perfect show for jake to show his true “billion grills” genius

Ok I finally have to ask... wtf is dip spit 😅

The idea of the Giant supremacist being dunked on by the Dwarf Daddies for eternity has my laughing so hard.

Pretty freaking pumped for Calder and hardwon to chat...face to face...

Omg I’m in Vegas and there’s been a grip of mosquitoes out here too! Little black ones that are so ANNOYING! 🦟

It's always the thick sodes with major plot implications that produce the strangest short rest tangents lol

Naddpod x Build a Bear

Murph my guy, Brandon Cutler vs Pretty Peter Avalon. Cutler brings out the polyhedral die and they use them like thumbtacks

Hope to see all y'all nyc rats at the anniversary show tmrw!

i have been wondering for a very long time but does anyone know where the music from 33:07 comes from?

Caldwell coming out of the well to shame himself

Yes! Save the rats/cause them to take over and play dnd.

I think the super rats are going to be at the anniversary show tbh

Main feed: Nail-biting, action-packed, cinematic masterpiece of a battle paired with heart wrenching emotional moments that literally drove me to the verge of tears at work. Short rest: The wildest collab ideas, Sol x Alexandrite, and Lord Ultrus in a lukewarm hot-tub playing footsie with a married woman and having to fight her hoagie-eating husband. Never change 2crew.

There is a video of someone in wrestling that slams someone on a bunch of d4s I'm pretty sure.

Not the first meal in a tub with overly talkative company bit. Big brisket bathtub energy

Next time y’all are in Vancouver you should try a “beef back” from Jackalope’s neighborhood dive, it’s a shot of rye followed by a shot of au jus.

There is this sweet precedent for Sol x Alexandrite where they connected via The Network, and Alexandrite saw what Sol was and they have those commonalities. Both creations that deviated and became more. Both have created networks to connect to the world around them. There are actually A LOT of parallel threads. SHIT

I was hoping to hear about Calli and Calder, ya know? "Calder's home is wherever I am" I mean.....

https://youtu.be/gpdWzIg8Sao?si=0HxplST_POphnGCI The 2 crew might need to check out this wrestler dice collab

i’m hyping so hard

vibrating with excitement!

First! Lol 'member when people used to do that?
