Short Rest - Skaldova Ep. 5: The Parley

Comments

i’ve been bouncing back and forth between skaldova and trinyvale x strahd while i catch up and both this short rest and the one for TxS ep 7 have extensive pierce brosnan mrs doubtfire bits. divine providence that i caught both in one day

avery

im 28, i grew up listening to rock music never knowing the bands names or that there were different subcategories. shaken to my core that 90% of the rock music was but(t)rock so s/o to the naddpod crew (mostly murph tho) for helping unearth my childhood music. its been haunting me not knowing what the hell i was listening to 😂

Dimitri

Is Buttrock similar to Divorced Dad Rock?

Lauren

So glad no one already mentioned this in the butt rock comments. In the nickelback song “Rockstar” in the background of one of the verses they say “I’ll have the quesadilla,” which is truly wild lyric to have. Butt rock indeed.

Samantha Sullivan

More buttrock talk please

Kjersa

this is so late, but ExtraHistory on youtube is doing a series on the history of the modern domestic cat! cats remain almost anatomically identical to the cats of 4500 years ago!

Galen Graham, Local Talent

I used to play The Hustle at the local dive bar all the time and everyone ended up learning it. I’m sober now and more responsible 😂

Kitty Stryker

I think it would be perfect if at the end of the campaign Zudric took off his helmet and the other two immediately betrayed him and attacked

Daniel Bronsdon

I always referred to bands like Lifehouse as wuss-rock when I was younger.

Angelo

I worked as a wedding videographer some years ago and can confirm that the electric slide, the hustle, the chicken dance, the cha cha slide, and more of your favorite ridiculous songs that refuse to die are alive and well at weddings all across the country. They are staples as much as "here comes the bride" or Pachabel's Cannon in D are.

David Pendragon

Crush 40 defines Buttrock I love it

Zyrian

Anything by Crush 40 (they did the music to Sonic Adventure) is primo Buttrock

Zyrian

The song that I classify as butt rock is “No Matter What” from Yu-Gi-Oh!

Kathryn Martin

We still love you tho

Max Herzog

I am a professional nanny and my kiddos always LOVE the macarena. I use it in lieu of head shoulders knees and toes because I have free will. That said a three year old I formerly worked with would shout “HEY MARACA RAINBOW” because to her wtf is macarena? nah dawg, that’s the maraca rainbow.

hannah says

Emily saying she picks monsters because they’re “cute as hell” is the most on brand statement I’ve ever heard in my life

hannah says

Last summer I saw Creed, 3 doors down, and finger eleven and seeing 40 thousand people get amped for butt rock together gave me a high im still riding

Andrew Burgess

Y’all my wife and I (28 and 26) strictly BLAST butt rock whenever we clean the house. Also was at the Denver live show which featured all of the Lifehouse and we still reference it to this day, You and Me was even in our wedding because of it lmao

Jonathan Gagnon

Counterpoint: Click Click Boom is fucking hilarious.

Joshua Qualls

I never knew what butt rock was. I always just assumed it was like crush 40 or something.

Rainemaker

Just encountered a Hook Horror in Baldur’s Gate 3 and was able to immediately identify it, thanks to this episode’s thumbnail.

CommodoreBlue

The haters are FEASTING

to_mara

Y'all gonna flip when you learn about The Nutbush! - the classic Australian dance. We all learn it in elementary school, before the age of 10, and its been that way for generations! Its absolutely ridiculous & great

A Really Cool Rock

Okay, but there's an important question... Do you clap when you do the macarena? On the jump?

Andrew Hurst

Line dancer here, the electric slide is still alive and well, but we usually do it to other songs!

Kolbier

Butt rock all day every day

crispy wonton

Coincidentally I am at a planet fitness on a Tuesday when that guy said he goes to planet fitness on Tuesdays 😂

Bulbarat

Butt rock > the macarena > sonnets, you hears it here first, folks. For real though I will always jam to butt rock

Canis Corax

What a coincidence I actually co-wrote the electric slide

TwoPuppetsTTV

I cannot help but picture Zudrick as one of my friends from college. Dude is a super accomplished birder, incredibly skilled, but is also pretty lanky and blonde, and picturing him trying to be edgy makes me laugh so hard 😂

rosebunting

Is Welly going to reinvent sonnets? Poetry for a new age!

Pali Endi

When i was in elementary school, my 3rd grade gym teacher was cool and had us play dodgeball and other violent games. In 4th grade, she retired and was replaced by a guy named Mr. Toole, and he had us dance every gym class. Electric slide, chicken dance, maccarana, everything. It was very controversial. Also my dad, to this day, sings Creed, Godsmack, & Puddle of Mud very loudly while taking baths, so this short rest hit pretty close to home

Nemo_Nihil17

I love rocking out to butt rock and I love laughing at butt rock

Logenthar

I think about Caldwell saying ‘sweet Ender’s chin’ too much

Melissa Shilale

Someone check on Murph!!!!!!

Melissa Shilale

Butt Rock Bangers on spotify, now you too can die while exercising. I also have macarena’d, electric slid, cupid shuffled and cotton eye joe’d with the best of them.

Melissa Shilale

This is probably true, yes

Sean

I literally mouthed the phrase "butt rock" to myself seconds before Emily brought it up, lol

Alec Posta

I thought medieval drawings of livestock was purposefully distorted to show their wealth? They would paint their pigs super big to that they were wealthy farmers

Cheese of the Lake

Currently working out to this, almost died doing deadlifts cause I’m laughing to Murph almost dying listening to butt rock. Anyways, can’t believe no one else is familiar with One by Creed :(

Tyler Kraft

I swear the only thing that brings me joy the same way Nathan from drawer losing it to a bit, is Emily fucking cackling like when "butt rock" is explained.

Lambroux

I was picturing Zudrick’s elevator shenanigans like Bruce Willis in Die Hard, except much clunkier and with more metal scraping

Tony Cappellino

Looking back, the dougie feels like something from the Tik Tok dance era that showed up way before its time

Tony Cappellino

I got on Facebook immediately after Em said "skits on albums didn't age well into the streaming era." The first meme said "I miss when albums had, intros, interludes, and outros." 🤣

Eons Abroad

Thank you! I knew them but didn’t know why either

Kaley Miller

My friends have called me at times, a "musical encyclopedia" and I have NEVER heard the term But Rock to describe that genre 🤣 it's PERFECT

Max Herzog

Or anything that could have been in a Dreamcast Sonic game.

Billy Peake

as someone who stole most of the plot from baldur's gate 3 before ever playing it i much recommend Jake play bloodborne

Mateusz Leszczyński

The way Murph feels about But Rock(?) at the gym is me with Naddpod. The numbers of time I'm midway between reps and I've have to hold it in because someone said something hilarious like Murph with Sir Brinesplooge or when Jake went porque at a funeral in JNCOs happens way too often. I mean, jokes on me for catching up at the gym.

Vilaykham Sukhaseum

elder gen z here, we did Macarena and chicken dance a lot, I definitely did the electric slide but I know some people who didn’t, but the big ones were Cupid shuffle and cha cha slide, the dougie was popular for a minute but didn’t have the same longevity

Hannah

Haters are feasting tonight

Max Herzog

Sean you grew up under a rock 🤷🏼

Max Herzog

The cupid shuffle is the new one, but all the songs are still done

Max Herzog

Now, I KNOW we all know that the song Murph was ACTUALLY thinking of was “Control” by Puddle of Mudd. Smack my ass about it.

Brandon Wiens

I dunno where you grew up in the 90’s but we ABSOLUTELY DID “The Hustle”.

Brandon Wiens

I am 24 and I have no clue what the electric slide is so I can say with confidence "the kids" definitely are not doing it Edit: upon googling the song I can say with confidence that my only exposure to it is, I shit you not, the "You're my dad! boogie woogie woogie" vine

Sean

No Electric Slide. But Macarena, Cotton-Eyed Joe, Cha-Cha Slide are still big.

Vinnie Vidi Vici

Still wish we could hear the villain speech Jake had prepared before wellie just axed at him

cyber sleuth

As a spry and youthful yankle (ankle is my preferred uncle/aunt honorific) I don't think the kids these days really do the electric slide. 😔 I try to keep the tradition alive and always request it at weddings (though I've not been to many since I'm simply too youthful)

just a little bawn

glad to hear that this is going strong from when i was in jr high in 2004. also 2 of the songs I had to learn.

Jenna H

I mostly listen to PUP when I work out and have control of my playlist. My gym is mostly like 70s & 80s dad rock. Also very funny to get shredded to like Boston's More than a Feeling

Jenna H

Stayed at a hotel once where the elevator had a sign that said “please don’t jump” and at every floor, the doors would open too early and it would sort of stop two feet too high before slowly going the rest of the way to the floor. We didn’t stay. 🫣

A. Lee. S

Jake should DM the Tomb of Horrors(Terrors) maybe I love the Accidental Blood Borne Boar 🐗 which in turn remids me of the Boat From the fairy tale the Sing Bone ( later version replace the Giant Boat with a dragon)

Im a BladeSinging Wizard but only cut Beef&Pork

My fundamentalist Christian mom was taking care of the baby while my husband and I did some chores, when "Jesus gave birth to raptors" came up, my mom (in baby voice) said "Lukas (the baby), are they blaspheming against Jesus?!"

Katherine

I can’t remember which game you are all playing right now but “Split Fiction” is great. It’s two player and my gamer husband and I (not a gamer at all - so bad at jumping) are loving it!

A. Lee. S

I LOVE THE WAYYOUSMYACKMYEEYASSS

Jedidiah Archer Smith

they are in a segment of the underdark in bg3 im pretty sure

David Moore

I feel like I've seen/heard of Hook Horrors before, but they also really remind me of Gigan tbh

Rebecca N

Please do a full version of “how to trip a bird” by Murph 🙏

Giovanni Gabriele

Tiny L for Murph conflating “Over My Head (Cablecar)” with “How to Save a Life”

JJ

There's two types of traditional sonnets: English sonnet and Italian sonnet (aka: Shakespearean sonnet and Petrarchan sonnet). Both are traditionally written in iambic pentameter, which is five two syllable beats with the stress on the second beat (to BE or NOT to BE). Both types of sonnets also have 14 lines, with the variation between the two being the stanza structure. English has 3 four line stanzas (quatrains) and one two line stanza (couplet), Italian has two stanzas, the first being 8 lines (octet) and the second being 6 lines (sestet). They follow different rhyme schemes but modern sonnets frequently ignore the meter (iambic pentameter stuff) and rhyme structure. Look up contemporary sonnets if you're curious, most only follow the 14 lines rule, and some not even that.

Jake bird man

I thought butt rock was sonic the hedgehog music. Like overly sincere. What a 13 yr old would think is high art

Samuel Gray

Alright, William Shits and (Grandpa) Crunch’ems confirmed 👍🏻

Tim Sauerland

“when jesus gave birth to the dinosaurs, he meant them to be his army to fight against pontius pilate.” - the word of the lord, amen caldwell, i love you and your deep evangelical references 😂

sage penelopy

I'm a substitute teacher, the kids do still do the macarena, but I don't think they know the electric slide (tbh I forgot about it) and they Definitely don't know the hustle. the only reason I know it is because my parents are black and in their 60s even though I'm 23 lol

Aiyana

I agree but want to clarify that that sounds a bit like we’re replacing the YMCA which isn’t the case, Hot To Go is just a new addition

margot d

Turn 30 this year, never seen the hustle nor the electric slide. Every wedding, party, event has had the Cupid Shuffle and the Cha Cha Slide though

Jacob Koselke

RALLY ROUND THE FAMILY WITH AN ARMOR FULL OF BIRDS

Alec Simkiss

I absolutely get shredded to Salvia. All of Back Into Your System absolutely goes hard but especially Always, Click Click Boom, and Weight of the World

Alec Simkiss

as a gen z i can say: we are still doing the macarena but we have a new YMCA and it's chappell roan's hot to go. also i haven't done the electric slide since gym class in 8th grade

A.J.

the buttrock talk was funny as shit. soooo off the rails

Lila Goldenberg

caldwell’s pitch about putting skits into the podcast, y’all already do that on the normal feed, it’s called your ad reads!!

Lila Goldenberg

From the gang refusing to sit down, to the bird refusing to sit down. Pure hilarity

Mike

Murph made me listen to creed for the first time in 20 years

Jay

Murph would hate playing commander with Pantlaza, Sun-Favored… too many feathers

Graham

Okay, but I totally started whistling the hustle too, so I get where you are coming from Caldwell.

Cody Zimmer

Is Welly the other character you proposed in C3 ep 0?

DazWaz

Caldwell continues to be great at names

Grace Bee

I set a deadlift PR of 605# listening to “One Last Breath” by Creed like a month ago. “Higher” is another great PR song

Tanner Bennett

The electric slide is still going strong in the Black community. I just did it at a baby shower last weekend lol.

Biola

PSA: If you hate reading the AI stuff in Google search results, just add "-ai" to the end of your query before you hit Search

Jade

Blasphemous ep

Twoths

Well I mean, I’m sure the Butt Rock farts 🤣

Pali Endi

Haha I meant to say “Sephirothic Tree” (like the Kabbalistic Tree of Life) but I misspoke. ~Caldwell

Not Another D&D Podcast

When I was in middle school we had a dance course in gym class. The hustle was one of the 4 dances we had to do, along with boot slappin’ leather and the electric slide. This was probably 2015?

Noah Sun

"We saw you from across the monster manual and we really digged your vibe"

Ethan Banman

I have preteens and teens, and I can confirm that the kids today are definitely still doing the Macarena at every school activity. (They also listen to a fair amount of butt rock, at least my teenage son does 😂)

EllCee

ButtRock to me is big, generic riffs, lyrics that could be written by a grown man or a 14 year old, always adhering to verse-Chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-outro.

Photon.Pilot

I lift while listening to nad pod not butt rock and it is dangerous sometimes when you laugh worth it though only time I have to listen

Lee

I truly want Zudrick to take his helm off at some point and he’s just the most beautiful man ever for no reason lol

Rachael Essen

Creed is Divorced Dad Rock

Shane C

Did Caldwell say we need a Sofartic Tree of Butt Rock?

Pali Endi

Creed gets me through long hot days in the kitchen at work!!! #sixfeetfromtheedge

Noah the Bullywug Boy #HonortheCock

brightsword spoiler so sad i started reading it

Jaydon

I finally became the person yelling into the void during the show. Lifehouse is pop rock, nowhere near butt rock. A good rule of thumb for butt rock is if you can close youre eyes and picture the band in affliction tees and leather bracers, that’s butt rock.

Joshua Fletcher

I teach middle school (age 11-13 ish) and their school dances are mostly standing in the dark gym, and jumping in a circle with the occasional, brief TikTok dance.

Goodnight Burrito

I know, I’ve become really endeared to this trio and the world and would love to see this campaign expand.

Tyler Goevert

I know the crew has referenced The Bright Sword a ton through Skaldova (which made me grab it from the library), but it also feels so much like the world of the First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie and got me wondering if Jake had read those as well.

Tyler Goevert

"What's up alpha predators today were talking about dinosaurs and how they are the opposite of woke 😎"

Will Putman

Have they discussed if skaldova will continue past this one quest? I hope they do some more

aRagde

The electric slide has indeed died, i apologise

katie potato

The settlers of Nadd Pod on Dungeons and Daddies

Ryan Higgins

“Jesus was a lil raptor” and then “that’s why they call it ‘the rapture’” fucking took me out

The Grinch (feral)

I do love to work or work out to limp Bizkit. Probably the very definition of butt rock in some sense. Definitely not as vanilla as your average but rock like 3 days grace or something though

Declan Konesky

Click click boom is a pretty funny lyric if you think about it

Andrew Jennings

My teen sister listens to mostly but rock its alive and well

Janelle Hutson

The sonnet hate 😭

Kelley

Blown away by how great the voice acting has been by Jake

Nav Dhillon

The sheer volume of times I just heard the phrase “butt rock adjacent“

Mike Yost

I watched a ton of scrubs as a kid and that song is an eternal ear worm for me

Ian Mcilwean

Jesus and Mary made children and they were the dinosaurs

Grace Bee

Hooked Horrors are in BG3

Ian Mcilwean

Life house is butt rock and I’ll die on this hill

Kelsey McNeil

“It’s just birds, dude” might legitimately be the most descriptive tagline for NADDPOD

Balnor’s Best Friend - Steve

a) The Electric Slide was allegedly written about a vibrator, but apparently there's conflicting reports about whether that's true or not b) my local alt-rock station is DC 101, and they were VERY into that Creed song back in the day

xatlern

I'm glad someone finally said it

Janaya Brown

Today I learned that my 4th/5th favorite genre of music is called butt rock

Janaya Brown

Since I’m old, haven’t done either in a long minute. Think I may still remember how to do the Macarena tho. Did some country line dances in my 90’s country phase. I want to know if “Ride the Train” is still done.

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

I knew butt rock would come up on naddpod eventually

Ron A.

One time I sang "She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd at a talent show hosted in my college dorm by housing admin. No one knew why they created it and no one wanted to sign up, so I decided to at least make it interesting. Eventually it just turned into a troll-ish karaoke night, with classics such as "EARFQUAKE" (where Playboi Carti just says "imonbadewo" like ten times) and "The Distance" by CAKE. 10/10 would recommend wasting collegiate resources again

Aster Ellis

I was at the Lifehouse live show!! There were shove wizards and 3D-printed AI Bullywogs

CommodoreBlue

Speaking of sonnet structure… A Hundred Thousand Billion Poems by Raymond Queneau is a neat take on the format.

Spencer Bloom

Come on!! Moving sidewalks in airports!!! There’s your electric slide…”caution, sidewalk ending.”

Michael Lawton

Holy Jabari the Safari! Shout out to the Hexbloods!!!!

Michael Lawton

Just got out of work, thank Ender’s Trapezius!!!

Michael Lawton

Science doesn't care about your feelings Murph

Rebecca Neal

the macarena lingers but the cha cha slide is the real banger

Taylor Marshall

I think life is much cooler when you learn about how all animals are related!! Dinosaurs have existed for so long and were very diverse!! Murph, your crow and pigeon friends are dinosaurs (in fact, dinosaurs can be separated into avian and non-avian)!! (I know you were being silly, I’m just a fuckin nerd so I had to say something)

Peregrine

All in all great sode

Michael P Mendoza

Butt rock? I’ve always called music like that Divorced Dad Rock. It’s one of my favorite genres.

Cyan

Electric slide was replaced by the wobble

Ian Holden

Murph, "One" is absolutely a BANGER. It's in my workout Playlist.

Stephen Laster

I studied poetry and I struggled so much with understanding sonnets and stress-based structures

Zanna

Murph combining Blurry and Control 🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying on my walk listening to this short rest 🤣🤣🤣

Katie Spina

Came here to say this, TIL that I've never even heard the electric slide before and I'm in my 20s. The cupid shuffle, macarena, and to an extent the cha cha slide have withstood the test of time.

Aster Ellis

Sonnets began as a way for people to get their horn out and still feel fancy. It was closely tied to Courtly Love, which was supposed to be about flirting with married women whom you did not actually sleep with because the purity of your love forbade adultery. In practice, a lot of ladies who were married to old barons as children ended up fucking some knights because they were teenagers and 20-somethings with no say in their marriage surrounded by handsome athlete-soldiers. So sonnets began as a way to treat your horniness as something beautiful and pure. Until the English Renaissance, when they had become more of a way to out-poet your rivals by showing how clever you were. I like them because good ones are all about a setup in the first eight lines and a twist that gets delivered with a punchy couplet at the end.

Eli Plaskett

Bring out the "Rosencrantz & Guildernstern are Dead"-style one shot of the two monks having everything go catastrophically wrong, and then needing to pull their shit together just for the team to burst through the door and absolutely womp them

Lachy

I did maypole in primary school? (2012) some traditions are just evergreen

Zanna

I am shredding to butt rock, and was screaming iambic pentameter at my phone for minutes until Caldwell said it. Also I do still macarena if asked

Nick Lerche

Buttrock for life

Alex Cartwright

Speaking of Butt Rock, I recently learned that Bush actually sings a bunch of songs that I’ve always hated but always assumed were by other terrible bands. Bush’s first two albums are a real Hall of Shame of Butt Rock.

Hugo Wull

said "nooo it's not indie" with the same intonation as murph at the same time when they were discussing Lifehouse - really dating myself here...

joel

I spent graduate school writing endless sonnets in my notebooks because I like structure

Elizabeth Boskey

I fucking love everything yall do. You're doing amazing as a DM Jake and everybodys character is great. Im replaying Dark Souls 2 with a Zudrick build

BoOoOoooOooo BeeEEEeEeEee

the cupid shuffle is the thing

lily h

the macarena has lasted a lot longer than the electric slide

lily h

Sonnets are just a type of poem with 14 lines and a specific rhyme scheme

Jackie Eckhart

I think the Cupid Shuffle replaced the Electric Slide.

Jay Dragonborn, Guardian of the Vibe, Honoring the Cock

Weird that the first Mission Impossible was referenced. I just watched that movie for the first time last week

Evan Cordero

caldwell saying he forgets to use his fighter abilities feels like a TINY retroactive W for c1 jake

kin

Hook Horror had me looking for a buried dog collar in the Underdark!

Brandon Wiens

I knew it wasn't gonna be a successful parley when they didn't enter through the side flap

Darby Nicole Mishra

We once played against a Hook Horror but in our DM's east coast accent it sounded like Hook Whore and I can never unhear it

Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! No jokes today, just excited Emily's gonna be on Gastronauts!!

I prayed for this😭
