Short Rest: C3 Ep. 51: First Hearth

I think, if I went to Disney and it was empty except employees, the thing I would be googling would be disease outbreaks. Like, "Disney ebola?" Or "Disney smallpox?" I can imagine a disease outbreak causing a much smaller crowd, and I can DEFINITELY imagine Disney still requiring their employees to show up when there's an outbreak of an infectious disease.

Bahahaha Murph would ABSOLUTELY be the one pushed out of the elevator for the one on one 🤣

This short rest was a trip and I'm here for it

Holy shit, I didn't know Keith David was in they live

Now all I can imagine is a D&D parody movie and how bad/good that could be.

"i dont look skeptical" i look skeptical hearing this

I worked at Chuck E. Cheese's in high school, which didn't close until 11 on Friday and Saturday. There were several occasions where kids helped me with small tasks past closing while their parents sat around talking.

amused but unsurprised that Emily hadn't heard of The Thing but MURPH???

puffin bit was one of the best yet

My family had a vacation to Disney World planned a few weeks after 9/11 when I was a kid, and the parks were sooo empty. We rode all the rides until we got completely sick of them and walked into normally reservation-only restaurants without a care in the world. It was honestly incredible, probably the best vacation we ever had.

My family went to Disney during the anthrax scare post 9/11 and it was pretty spooky with how empty it was

stitch would be great on the surprise rounds

The Disneyworld talk feels like it was a soft launch of Surprise Round

Can't believe you'd snitch on Stitch 😔

My mom lives in Iceland for a year. Throwing puffins off of a cliff is a thing. They get stuck on the land because they follow the lights and then get confused and need to be redirected. So you throw them off a cliff. I’m not joking 😂

I'm a month late but i NEEDED y'all to know i got kicked off a friends Mandalorian podcast a few years back for saying "i think we should let Grogu say 'fuck'" everyone got very upset with me for not being serious, but i was, and i stand by it.

The Disneyland scenarios needs to be Caldwell's next Choose Your Own Adventure book

I gotta say I loved hearing a hockey player name as a character! Now you gotta name an NPC Jack

This is an all-time short rest fo sho

Do a mixed bag of everyone watching John Carpenter's the thing (1982)!

Calliope PETRICORE Hold the door hold the door hold the door

I feel so seen, talking about not staying past or even close to closing time in the restaurant industry 😄

Dan again of dan’s baby rights, taking a baby on a deadly mission is not a maternal instinct, it is a menagerie ghoul instinct. Resubscribed.

I don't think they totally scratched how screwed up Murph's situation he made is, rofl. The fact that everything was magically turbo-mended means that Alexandrite likely leveled the place and replaced everyone...

Murph being a Disney Parks guy always warms my heart

Jake and the puffins. Real baggin it with balnor vibes. I love it

I just re-listened to the episode where the boobs slept in a giant and I can confidently say that these guys are way too pure to be able to execute that

The Summer I Turned Puffin: A Memoir by Jake Hurwitz

There is a one-page TTRPG called "All Outta Bubblegum"!!! Your only stat is Bubblegum! Ruleset pdf here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c9vhigdldvg8ji4/AllOuttaBubblegum.pdf?dl=0

I'm pretending to shit at work to write this incredibly important message: MURPH, WATCH THE THING (1982). CANCEL WHATEVER PLANS YOU HAVE, DROP WHAT YOURE DOING, WATCH THE THING.

PLEASE give us a quick peek at Shiverblight’s parents, now that we’re in the Frigid North, and please let them be equally big shitheads 🙏🙏🙏🙏

The Puffin Prince needs to be a blockbuster film yesterday

Yall Keith David costars in both They Live and The Thing!! And is in Disney’s Princess and the Frog!! I was going insane had to share lol

That Disney after dark book series had real Disney no more energy

Highly recommend John Carpenter’s The Thing starring his go-to badass protagonist Kurt Russell! He’s also in recommended Carpenter movies Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from NY and LA!!!

Murph not seeing The Thing makes me so happy for him and Em to experience that film for the first time together. I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

Emily I think you’re going to adore Sleep No More!! The whole thing has so much of the warm static sound you’ve described on short rests before

Fun fact about puffins, the Porg creatures in Star Wars the Last Jedi were created because they had to digitally cover up the insane amount of puffins that live on the island Skellig Michael where they filmed the Luke training Rey scenes. My dad immediately knew this when we saw it in the theater because my grandfather was an archaeologist and went on a lot of research expeditions when my dad was a kid, so when he saw the end of The Force Awakens he was like "wait... I've BEEN there" and confirmed that there really are that many puffins living there lol

Jake’s puffin story reminded me of the budgie bird creature society in the boy and the heron

I took in a stray two months ago (he came out of the veil on halloween) and named him duncan between the whale and emily's outfit on FHJY this week I'm feeling the axemurph wavelength

The 1994 Flintstones movie starring John Goodman is currently on Netflix.

Imagine goofy in costume at Disney presses a key into your hand and whispers in your ear with panic in his voice “save me the rat is real”. What do you do?

Yo one of my favorite short rests, the Disney Bit had me dying 🤣

I, no joke, just got an ad for a Ted prequal series that's going to come out soon.

The entire Stitch & drugs at Disney situation had me rolling. For a moment I felt like we were in an 8BBC Choose Your Own Adventure and now I kinda need it

Ol Guppy sounds like Strong Bad

I got singled out at sleep no more! A lip syncing lady in a gown pulled a ring out of her mouth and put it on my finger

Gotta put wheels on the eggs so it can be a duck boat

Sleeping beauty is the best Disney princess. I’ll fight for her

Murph Stitch-phobic confirmed

I had a dream that I was walking around a clothing store, and I saw a NADDPod/Heartstopper branded pineapple croc shoe. It had a picture of you guys printed on it and I was like "why did they make this"

it always amazes me to learn what movies Emily hasn't seen because I'm usually the friend who hasn't seen what ever movie people are talking about. though I did only see The Thing for the first time last year

I'm here for the Caldburn lying plot

I hope everyone giving away the things Sol knitted continues.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE THING!!!?

I once had a DM pull a very similar backstory 180 on my character mid-session. They changed her ex girlfriend into an ex boyfriend with a completely different name and personality. They made him a weenie underling in a cult with a Dennyish voice when the original character had been a ruthless pirate captain who my character lost her ship and crew to in the fallout of their messy breakup. The DM acted surprised when I had no idea who the weenie cult guy was when they introduced him. We were several sessions in and had not discussed this change at ALL. It made my character into a liar and made me look like an idiot. Needless to say, I got up and left as soon as it was clear that the DM was not joking.

Murph randomly introducing the guppy child and then trying to get rid of it was so funny to me.

Keith David and Rowdy Roddy Piper were great casting for that John Carpenter movie.

"Tidal wave question mark?" "Natural Disaster Los Angeles" "Do I tip at Disney?"

Jake and the puffins has real Hardwon and unicorn jerky energy

I thought the puffins were skinsuits, blue/green over red

s/o to you guys for uploading this while i’m still on my work shift after I just finished the episode

Whoo!!!
