The nickname Murph crafted for Calder was so sweet and loving. Such a throwaway joke full of emotion and world building. Murph ur beautiful mind
One of the best Caldwell intros of all time
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but in Murph’s defense (😱) I had no idea what the wooden frog was
Instantly recognized the wooden frog and burst out laughing
As a percussionist and a teacher, I'd be happy to teach Caldwell the effective technique to get the best and most frog-like sound out of the frog rasp.
Romance paertner
I came here to say I was very happy when I heard the wooden frog.
just want murph to know that I knew it was one of those wooden frog things and that it was a reference to the slam poetry
recognized that frog beat right away
Murph, Murph, Murph, Murph, Murph, Murph, Murph, seven Murphs for the month of Merch, literally every living and even non-living thing knows about the wooden frog. Unsubscribed.
"I'm so fucking sorry; I cant play an INSTRUMENT on our podcast" i'm fucking dead. Cheers 2Crew! (To be fair the rhyme was mid at best, but that made it perfect) Nominated for best intro 2024, I've been keeping score.
Question would his parents or anyone in the giants village recognize caulders helmet and the helm of ultras? Since it was a power relic?
I’m caldwells defense I knew what that sound was the moment I heard it
Me too!! Are wooden frogs not commonly known?!
Skip Caldwells intro 2024
GOD this episode made me miss my brothers 😭😭 captured adult sibling hood very well
I knew exactly what instrument Caldwell had. Immediately lol
Loved this episode. I was so hoping Calder would quell the crowd by announcing “I am the very brother of the modern Ranger General.” Or at least Caldwell to throw it out there.
I knew EXACTLY what the frog instrument was the second I heard it it translated perfectly to audio
weird question, but is calder a foundling? it’s kind of implied here but i can’t remember if it is mentioned earlier in the campaign?
I’m wondering that, too!
Hearing the name Jörg was like a shot to the head lmaoo that’s my dad’s name and he also perfectly fits that dad archetype where he’s so quiet but loves so much
It got kind of glossed over, but I hope somebody from the north - either the Rangers or Mothership - acknowledges Calder's insane, multi-day DC 30 ride across the open tundra. Like, Alexandrite saw them in the puffinfolk village, and knows she's won, because it would be impossible for them to catch up in time. And then they pull some legendary, ancient Greek Marathon stuff and suddenly everything's in play.
You're SO right. Definitely something from an epic poem 100000%
i also gotta add that i immediately recognize the wooden frog sound LOL murph playing loveable shitheads will never get old, and the scene at calder's house was so delightful and charming! another great ep ❤️
immediately recognized the wooden frog!! thank you for your beautiful song
I had that kind of white mom and the frog is a distinct sound
I think I missed something— Calder’s a half-giant and the rest of his family are giants, right? Which is why he’s so much smaller than them? Are Mira and Yerg his biological parents?
Yeah that might be something they reveal or touch up on later in the story. Either that or he’s mechanically a half giant just to play as a PC, and in lore Jake is a tiini tiny giant
let it be known that i knew EXACTLY what caldwell was doing during the intro, murph 😤
I have a wooden frog w the stick too. When u get a bigger size it really does sound like a croak
STELLAR episode
You earned the 🐸
When you play the frog it's more of an up down so it sounds like rib bet. Loved this episode!
You city pigeon, fantastic episode. I was hooked then you cut it!!!! 😁
Those wood frogs are supposed to sound like a frog when played right lol but I did realize what it was.
They should contact the shiverblights for help
That ending tho!!
fun fact the first Frostwind episode was entitled "Icy Reception" and now we have "Warm Welcome"
The wood instrument ruined my life tbh, please burn it ritually.
100 % DISSAGREE, I recognized the frog instrument instantly. I love you Caldwell 🤣🤣🤣🤣
honestly could totally tell it was a frog instrument but that might just be because I have one
does calder the cold sir sound like cold sore to anyone else?
Didn’t Aryox…
Did Ultris kill Aryox in the ice knife cave???🤔
As a younger brother myself, this hit me in the feels🤎🤎🤎 Nooooo SWAAAAAGGGGG 😭
I instantly recognized the sound of the frog guiro.
Is Calder’s dad Pendergreens? Wait never mind it’s Grimdung!
Squeem
T T T Taking over the NADDPOD comments, it's our time! It's our SQUEEM!
this episode HIT ME. I am too weak for this! ❤️❤️❤️
I adore this episode so much. They hit the brother vibe so well
Caldwell I I recognized what you were doing immediately as a fellow frog player
Me tooooo!
That was a nice thick sode
Really enjoyed the image of a mountain range made up of the collapsed Mt. Forge. Something about the image of people living among the apocalyptic ruins of a previous campaign speaks to me, I'm really curious about what happened to Galaderon for the same reason. A serene ruin on top of a ruin? Being scavenged? Rebuilt in some way? Great ep as always, impressed with Caldwell's restraint with his frog block, RIP to Calder's family.
I listened to caldwells intro 10 times in a row
Yurg, Calders dad = Grimdung? 🤔 Voices are pretty similar
I... love... ...the Empire.
Wooden frog win
THE WOODEN FROG 😭😭😭
I used to have two of those wooden musical frogs when I was little! I loved them!
This is the first time anyone's said my name so much lmaojfhsjf
Don’t worry Caldwell I instantly knew it was a wooden frog as soon as you made the first scrape!
I recognizd the Wooden Frog from renne faire and niknak shops
I now think of the Lair of the White Worm when Sol reffers to the baby snakes as 'Our Worms'
I work night shift and I love getting brand new episodes while I’m at work. I’m going to be starting this episode soon
Just finished the episode!! Great job as always. You made my night shift fly by
Man Jakes characters should never go to the Frigid North. Or at least his characters loved ones
If anything happens to Gregor I'm leaving the patreon forever.
One of my many favorite things about this campaign is Emily’s transformation into proud mom at a school talent show when it comes to Caldwell’s intros 😂 it’s very heartwarming
As someone who has several of those frog rasp instruments, that sound immediately tracked and needed no explanation
No, I wasn't going to bed. What are you talking about?
Yeah i wasn’t either. Like who needs sleep. Not me.
The fear of all these tertiary characters losing their identity and they're absorbed into the alexandrite hive mind fills me with constant dread. Thanks murph!
Fourth!
So excited!!!!!!!
First ten minutes squad, what’s up Two Crew.
First!
