Patreon has enough problems with sorting output without content creators not adding metadata or categorizing things well themselves. I really hate this platform for functionality, but there are some work arounds. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/s15j94/deleted_by_user/ for example. it's not going to fix how things are laid out here, but at least you can fix them yourself locally

kalihahaha
2025-04-08 02:58:45 +0000 UTCShoney's sounds so much like Ponderosa, which was this really cheap restaurant in my small Canadian hometown. My dad took me and my brother there at least once a week because it was less than $5 per person for unlimited access to the salad bar. It was big news when they added an ice cream machine in the 90's.

2025-04-07 14:11:05 +0000 UTCThe Jake’s mustache discourse had me in tears 😭😭😭
Shale’s Uncrushable Pigeon
2025-04-04 19:20:33 +0000 UTCIn high school my theater program did this fundraiser where we folded little boxes for free tile samples. The tile warehouse company paid (donated?) like $0.25 a box.

2025-04-03 19:34:05 +0000 UTCAt 37:28 jake makes a snippy remark at Caldwell that his Baskin Robins experience is not like the friendly’s experience, but the premade cakes Caldwell is talking about IS friendlys brand. Wrongful razzing
Andrew Lachterman
2025-04-02 16:29:26 +0000 UTCIt's like the old Mitch hedberg joke, they did not have to separate them with me I would have been ok with one long curvy tooth
Chris Adams
2025-04-02 16:09:01 +0000 UTCYou can't defend Shoney's. Leave Tennesseans alone.
Trevor Smith
2025-03-30 06:19:56 +0000 UTCVery funny to listen to this while cutting down cardboard boxes to turn them into cat scratchers
Angie Goslin
2025-03-30 06:11:26 +0000 UTCYou fought zombies in campaign 1, the widow had buff chosen zombies
Samuel Gray
2025-03-30 05:30:56 +0000 UTCI love this campaign. I know Jake low balled himself for a short one, but I'd really love him to keep going!
SoupLightning
2025-03-30 01:47:47 +0000 UTCPretty sure in collection 1 they have all the short rests next to their episode. They just didnt start doing short rests until like ep 15
SoupLightning
2025-03-30 01:47:00 +0000 UTCHey, I don't know the best place to ask this, but would it be possible to get collections of the short rests for each campaign? I'm relistening to c1 and it's nearly impossible to fine the correlating short rests.

2025-03-30 00:09:29 +0000 UTCCaldwell, the Shoney's breakfast bar kicked ass!
Gwen Gilpin
2025-03-29 22:48:43 +0000 UTCThe Fribbles were good, but I was a sucker for the Friend z. Specifically the birthday cake friend z. It had blue icing and sprinkles in it, and the waitress who took out order would say it was made of Smurphs and that the sprinkles were their bones.
Vinnyorcharles
2025-03-29 22:46:35 +0000 UTCgood to see Shoney’s hate is good and alive. i’m from SC and only remember it being Not Good
chlo!
2025-03-29 22:30:52 +0000 UTCCaldwell needs to talk to Brennan about Shoney's

The End of Time (AKA Theo the Minotaur)
2025-03-29 18:28:16 +0000 UTCI used to have to assemble big heavy duty cardboard boxes with a giant, foot pedal activated stapler at an old warehouse job. It was awesome.
Andrew Estrada
2025-03-29 16:57:45 +0000 UTCAlso, I had a Christmas party once where a friend got super drunk. He went to the bathroom and threw up...in the sink! Despite the toilet right next to him. He clogged it and and the weight of the puke totally busted the p-trap underneath covering the whole floor with puke water. Good times.
Vinnie Vidi Vici
2025-03-29 16:30:35 +0000 UTCAs a New Englander, where Friendly's originated, I was so excited for this discussion. Fribble was a superior milk shake and they still have fantastic sundaes.
Vinnie Vidi Vici
2025-03-29 16:18:55 +0000 UTCAs someone who has had to recite countless decades of the rosary for masses in my life, never have I been more jealous of Emily not knowing what they are!
Brian McAree Murphy
2025-03-29 16:14:20 +0000 UTCFor sure done want this crew to be over. The dynamic is so fun, the characters are so cool, and the world building is so great. It’s one of the best things the 2 crew has done since Hot Boy Summer
Jake the Accountant
2025-03-29 16:11:28 +0000 UTCCan confirm, friendly’s still slaps
Dan Cochran
2025-03-29 15:55:12 +0000 UTCAs a Canadian, it never ceases to amaze me how many regional restaurant chains exist in the US.
Totally Offside
2025-03-29 15:21:47 +0000 UTCI'm a million percent on Caldwell's side y'all. Shoney's reeked of mediocrity and uncomfortable interactions with family.
Kodi Earnhardt
2025-03-29 14:41:03 +0000 UTCIdk why, because Skaldova is the dreariest world they’ve played in - but I see so much of this campaign in my head in a studio Ghibli style. Certain moments like getting the giant boar onto the elevator feel straight out of Spirited Away.
Robert
2025-03-29 14:40:40 +0000 UTCI had dreams of bog wading once, but I'm an arachnophobe and I'd cry within 50 ft of a spider even though I know they're friends. I settled on communing with the pine barren tree frogs instead
Katie P.
2025-03-29 14:11:48 +0000 UTCAs a Tennessean, I will not stand for Shoney's slander! They had an amazing breakfast buffet and you could get all the proteins that you wanted and no one was going to look at you weird! We're lacking in true buffet options now!
Breana Miller
2025-03-29 14:10:32 +0000 UTCShoney's salad bar was SOLID. Two types of homemade ranch that any 5 year old could freely ladel onto their lettuce, croutons, ham and cheese salad. Caldwell, know your worth.
Zachary Smith
2025-03-29 14:06:12 +0000 UTCholy shit. the dream.
Alex Mayhem
2025-03-29 13:45:52 +0000 UTCIt is very important to me that you know that "bog standard" comes from early meccano sets which came in "box standard" and "box deluxe" Box standard became bog standard in cocky slang, meaning normal and basic, while box deluxe became "the dogs bollocks" meaning the best
Cack
2025-03-29 12:39:36 +0000 UTCThis is the best fact.
Cianistarle
2025-03-29 11:39:42 +0000 UTCThe New Jerseyan in me is compelling me to remind everyone that the cranberry bogs employ wolf spiders as natural pest control. So if you go in when they're flooded you go in with waders, you're the tallest thing around, so the wolf spiders will climb you to get out of the water and sometimes get in your waders. Also, the cranberry bogs have water moccasins which are a mean snake. So wade at your own risk
Katie P.
2025-03-29 05:32:36 +0000 UTCI LOVED FRIBBLES!
Bethany Greenstein-Flores
2025-03-29 05:20:40 +0000 UTCif it helps you, i have reached the cafe but haven't solved the zodiac clock or moon diary
A.E. Ross
2025-03-29 05:09:41 +0000 UTCFuck, then Caldy was right about the croutons at the salad bar 😂😂😂
Courtney F.
2025-03-29 03:00:14 +0000 UTCNah, unlawful razz on Caldwell. Facial hair differences are HIGHLY recognizable. I'm convinced - without seeing Jake - the difference was noticeable enough that Caldwell had the cajones to give it props and love for the ever changing nature of his friend Jake... A love that Murph and Em missed out on appreciating! Solid (and uncommon!) L for Murph and Em! But y'all gave him appropriate razzing on the Friendly's vs Baskin Robbins cone head treat 😢
Courtney F.
2025-03-29 02:57:15 +0000 UTCI used to love a Fribble (former friendlys employee and left that job to work at a Brighams Ice Cream Shoppe ~ OMG the drama 😂)
Jess J
2025-03-29 02:46:28 +0000 UTCPlease please please after this arc create more for this trio to play through, Cake. I would love to see more in this world and more from those weirdos

Ross Minick
2025-03-29 00:45:58 +0000 UTCI’m also unfamiliar with friendlys or shoneys. It never made its way out to the PNW
Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! Hoping everyones critters and kidders are happy and well!
2025-03-29 00:27:51 +0000 UTCMr. Conehead. Truly an exceptional frozen treat for any age.
Zeon Liberation
2025-03-29 00:25:46 +0000 UTCAgreed Emily. The bottom of lakes are no good. But! Cranberry bogs are full of spiders! Often cranberry harvesters will just become covered in spiders.
Zeon Liberation
2025-03-29 00:12:37 +0000 UTCI once puked in a clear restaurant cup at my table in front of everyone. I think it still had beer in it too so it almost overflowed.
Shawn Harrison
2025-03-28 23:50:27 +0000 UTCI have definitely puked in a sink in uni after a shot that didn't go down well.
Thomas Jager
2025-03-28 23:14:24 +0000 UTCCaldwell is really showing his Tennessee not knowing Friendly's. The day our small NY town's Friendly's closed is the day the Monster Sundae Died.
James Flannery
2025-03-28 22:54:56 +0000 UTCI feel ya Murph! I've done the same on a pub crawl and had to puke into the men's room urinal when the only stall was occupied. And separately, also a bathtub when a buddy was actively sitting on his own toilet... I've Hailed my Marys for both occurrences.
Alex Heartman
2025-03-28 22:44:23 +0000 UTCI was so excited to run here and tell Emily she could bake her dice in the upcoming solar eclipse tomorrow morning... only to find out that it's only going to be visible here on the east coast of the US :/
Caroline Coughlin
2025-03-28 22:44:21 +0000 UTCSince getting used to braces and then used to not braces took awhile (so much weird tonguing my teeth), adding extra teeth would be a sensory nightmare, Emily is correct.

Lindsey
2025-03-28 21:46:48 +0000 UTCJust wanna say -- y'all inspired me to read The Bright Sword, and it was SO GOOD! Great rec and very fun to read alongside this campaign. 👏
drmimms
2025-03-28 21:45:10 +0000 UTCI can't stand this Shoneys slander. Their breakfast buffet was top tier. If you needed to go as a kid you at least had a great coloring page, decent kids meals, and a solid desert bar.

2025-03-28 19:25:37 +0000 UTCJust wanna say - Cranberry bogs are FULL of spiders. So you probs don’t want to explore one. 😅 they use them for natural pest repellent

Zander Boettcher
2025-03-28 15:04:34 +0000 UTCThis still haunts me: I did a Jell-O shot and sneezed at the same time. I tried to hold it back and ended up blowing the jello right into my friends face, because of course we were in a friend circle in the kitchen. I was beyond embarrassed. The girl I splattered was so kind but I’m still living it down 35 years later!! I am old
Michael Lawton
2025-03-28 14:50:21 +0000 UTCHe did it to me too!! I think our brains just refused to associate ghostbusters with any holiday other than Halloween 🤣

Sean Boyle
2025-03-28 14:13:44 +0000 UTCwe still have a shoney’s! the big things are the desserts. you want a tin roof sundae OR the strawberry pie. for new year’s eve there’s a breakfast buffet that starts at 12:30 am with a trough of scrambled eggs and bacon strips. it’s truly a nightmare.
ScottyByNature
2025-03-28 14:11:05 +0000 UTCIdk what happened but somehow I was on the exact same page as Murph and thought Emily wore the Ghostbusters House for Halloween and had to relisten because I was sure she had said it. But no, Murph just inceptioned me somehow

munch lax
2025-03-28 13:37:38 +0000 UTCI only started listening at the end of 2023, so Ive was playing catch up until the last few eps of campaign 3, and I’m so used to immediately having more episodes to listen to that I genuinely got sad when this one ended😭 I’m doing a re-listen though, bc I didn’t have the short rest the first time around, so I can still go back there :)

2025-03-28 05:50:21 +0000 UTCedit 3: it turns out I was so very stuck because I hadn't turned the lamp right side up... edit: i looked it up and I think I just haven't found the mannequins yet soooo I can't get past the zodiac clock or the moon diary. I've been laboring under the assumption the diary is connected to the 1847 letters, and I have the moon calendar for 1847, but I can't put them in an order that unlocks the book (and there are only 4 letters for 5 inputs and the corresponding floppy discs offer no help) I've tried l everything I can think of. I think at this point in the story I'm expected to have already reached the cafe, since there are numerous items I have to use once I get there. I have card keys, horseman tokens, error codes, etc. The book confounds me though! And the zodiac clock...I mean, idk if I even have all the info for it yet but I feel like I must since I know so much at this stage. I've spent a lot of time on it but I'm not even sure what the clock is really asking. I don't want the answer handed to me exactly but I'm *really* stuck on both of those puzzles and any hint would be welcome if anyone reading this has played the game and can sympathize with this despair lol. I know the key here is often looking at things slant (I keep thinking of the emily dickinson line "tell the truth but tell it slant") but I can find the right angle, and I've spent an embarrassing number of hours on it. I'm afraid to google it because it might spoil other things. if you can help you have my endless gratitude edit: I tried using the menstrual cycle for the 5th moon because of the tampon, I also tried the moon iconography from the poster the third eye. still stumped
